'l4l°ll of Vicenza. Whatever injury may have been inflicted, at least as is
asserted, upon the Colonial interest—and the West
Indians are ever the foremost to complain—it is cer-
tain that the matter is not likely to be mended by
such tinkering and vacillation as will betray other par-
ties into losses. The most unceasing perseverance,
and the most vigilant prudence, will not suffice to pro-
tect commercial men from heavy sacrifices, if ar-
rangements deemed to be final one session are dis-
turbed the next. We cannot better illustrate
this position than by one fact within our knowledge, and
which might be strengthened no doubt by a score or
two of similar cases. A merchant calculating upon the
sugar question being set at rest, forwarded to Havannah
last year machinery to the amount of about 5,000/, and
should even the modified plan of Lord John Russell be
carried, and we know that the Protectionists would go
much further, the loss upon Havannah sugar received by
the party alluded to will be no less than 21. 10s. per
ton. No one is satisfied by the alterations proposed,
and yet a change is insisted on. The consumers must
pay the extra tax, or the supply will be probaby dimi-
nished, and whether the reduction of duty will ulti-
mately benefit the West India Colonies is really a matter
of doubt, for the East Indies, favoured by abundant
labour and an excellent soil, are likely to prove almost
as powerful competitors as foreigners. The West Indians
say 30s. per cwt. must be obtained to pay them. Now
sugar can be grown in some parts of India for Bs. per
cwt., manufactured say for 45., shipped for 6s. 6d., and
a few years hence will come in at 10s. duty, making a
total of 28s. 6d. Can the West Indians do this? If
not, we shall be called upon next to protect one colony
against another.
We are advised in a letter from St. Petersburgh of a
further rise in the exchange, viz., to 341 d. and 35d.
Tallow, by this advance was 30s. per ton dearer, making
an advance of 31. by the two last mails. The shipments
going on were large. The steamer from Hamburgh
brings about 6,0001. in gold, and the next was to have
10,0001. on board. From Valparaiso, by the Spy, a
bullion freight of 2} millions of dollars may be shortly
expected.
The English Funds have been rather firmer this morn-
ing, and there has been a steady business doing. Con-
sols for the opening have been 83} to 84 The speeches
delivered by the Ministers at the Mansion-house ban-
quet on Saturday, have afforded much satisfaction. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 841 to

been 375. to 41s. premium, being scarcely so good. India

In the Foreign Market the transactions have been
generally at steady, though not higher prices. Spanish

About 1,300 head of stock have been landed' at the
northern outports, and 10 Oxen at Southampton, the
latter from Spain. The supply
of foreign Beasts on offer
S
to-day was comparatively small; that ofbeep and Calvestolerably good, but of very middling quality. With
home-fed Beasts our market was heavily supplied, the
time of year considered, and the general condition of
that description of stock was good. Although the at-
tendance of buyers was somewhat extensive, the Beef
trade was excessively dull, at, in some instances, a fur-
ther decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. However,
a few of the very primest Scots sold at 4s per Sibs. At
the close of business a large number of Beasts left the
market unsold. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,700 Scot, short-
horns, &c. ; from the western and midland districts, SOO
Herefords. runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c.; from other
parts of England, 500 of various breeeds ; and from
Scotland, 340 horned and polled Scots. Although the
supply of Sheep was moderately extensive, the Mutton
trade was steady, though not to say brisk, at prices fully
equal to those paid on Monday last, the primest Down
qualities of Mutton producing 4s 10d to 5s without diffi-
culty. The number of Lambs was by no means heavy
for the time of year. All breeds met a fair demand, at
fully last week's prices. Prime small Calves moved off
freely, at full prices. Otherwise, the Veal trade was in
a very sluggish state. Pigs sold heavily, at last week's
currencies.

Very limited supplies of country-killed Meat have
been received up to these markets during the past week.
Those on offer killed in the metropolis, owing to the
continued hot weather, have been moderate, even the
time of year considered. Each kind of prime Meat has
commanded a very steady sale, at extreme rates of cur-
rency. Otherwise, the demand has ruled tolerably firm,
and prices have been well supported. About 1,600 car-
cases of foreign Meat, slaughtered in London, have been
on offer.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Since Monday last the arrivals of potatoes, coastwise,
have been tolerably good. From abroad we have re-
ceived the following supplies :-85 tons and 24i baskets
from Antwerp; 246 ditto from Bremen; 2,609 ditto from
Rotterdam ; 70 tons from Hambargh ; and 108 bags
from Leer. All kinds of Potatoes are exceedingly dull
in sale, at almost nominal figures. Parcels are offered
at a decline of from 20s. to 255. per ton on last week's

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
The plantation accounts still continue favourable,
owing to which, and the anxiety manifested on the part
of the holders to effect sales, the demand for all kinds of
Hops is heavy, at barely last week's quotations. The

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Thursday, 15th June, the House resumed
its sittings after what is called the Whitsuntide re•
cess. Among the curiosities of the evening were pe-
titions fecen actors that people will not go to hear,
praying the Government to restrict the performances
of the actors the public will pay, the professed reason
being that those actors are foreign. You see the
pitch of audacity to which monopoly is coming. You
and I are not to spend our half-crown to see somebody
that entertains us, because there is a dunce we had
rather give half-a-crown not to hear, to whom the
half-crown would be acceptable. This is part and
parcel of the Drury-lane disorderlies, and the re-
apparition of a race of Englishmen who had been sup-
posed wrought out. A remarkable circumstance last
night, was the way in which the tenants of the mono-
polist benches abstained from the smallest recognition
of their petitioning brethren. They saw the snare ;
and not the slightest tokens of truly British feeling
would they give.
On the same evening a motion for issuing a new
writ for Leicester was rejected by 129 to 5. It is
astonishing under existing circumstances, with what
openness
,and pertinacity the Conservatives defend
everything connected with the carrying of elections
by money. They have discovered that bribery is
forbidden by the law of God, but treating is not ; a
parallel to the remark of many practical theologians
among the Turks, who observe that wine is forbidden
in the Koran, but there is not a word about acquar-
dente. As if treating was not bribery, with the sins
of gluttony and drunkenness to boot. All this must
be looked to by the People's Leagues ; and the
Leaguers must sharpen one another up to the con-
sciousness of the absurdity of pretending to prevent
the misuse of money at elections, and preserving all
the circumstances by which the misuse is favoured. It
is like pretending to put down foxes, and preserving
covers.
Another point to which I desire to invite the at-
tention of the People's Leagues now I am before
them, is the following. In my ignorance, I had always
supposed that with a view to the prevention of un-
necessary irritation, it was a rule and etiquette of the
House of Commons not to permit allusions to the
other House of Parliament. 'Where there are two
Houses, there must of necessity be the possibility of
coming into collision ; but it was understood this pos-
sibility was not to be talked about, or at all
events not without reason equivalent to the in-
surmountable. But such an ignoramus was I
and perhaps are you, that instead of any etiquette
or decency of the kind described being pre-
served, no opportunity is lost on the Conservative
benches, of throwing in the teeth of their opponents
in the most wounding manner, every probable mode
in which the acts of the other House are to control
the proceedings of the Commons. This is pouring
sand into the machinery instead of oil. But as it is not
we that pour the sand, there is nothing left but to
act upon the cards the opponent plays, and point out
to any assemblages of the citizens which may be
formed for considering the prospects of Reform, the
necessity there is for extending their cares to that
other House, which is thus made a constant ingre-
dient in our debates. The Lords not only send men
to our benches, but they sit there and threaten
through their mouths. Therefore on the next op-
portunity, vouchsafe a look towards the House of
Lords. Consider first, the ways the Lords have of
influencing elections, and how these may be cut off;
and next, look into the steps by which a liberal Go-
vernment has the means of bringing the Lords into
harmony with popular institutions, and so freeing us
from the scandal of having them perpetually thrown
in our faces as the bulwark against all Reform. If we
had been let alone, there would have been no occa-
sion for this; but since we cannot be let alone, we
must only move.
In the proceedings on Report of Public Health
Bill, my proposal for substituting the provisions of
the Property-tax Act (5 and 6 Victoria c. 32, sec. 73),
for dividing the expense between landlord and tenant
in a prescribed proportion notwithstanding the ex•
istence of contracts entered into without knowledge of
the coming circumstances, met with no support. I had
hoped that by its long and repeated appearance upon
the Parliamentary sheets, some assistance might
have gathered round it. If the tenants grumble at
having to pay for the landlords' gain, I did what I
could to hinder it.
On the proposal of a clause on burial-grounds by
Mr. G. J. Turner, Mr. Fox (Oldham) objected to
the apparent intention of making Dissenters pay to-
wards new burial-grounds, of which they were to
have no use. If I did not make some mistake, an
unexpected display of just and liberal feeling took
place in consequence. The Member for Sunderland
(Mr. Hudson) in particular, was strong in declaring
that in his immediate residence (the archiepiscopal city
of York) there was every desire to have the assistance
of the Dissenters in bringing the question to a termi-
nation satisfactory to all. The mode in which he
proposed to effect it, seemed to be by giving the Dis •
senters a part of the ground for themselves. Ido not
know how far this may be considered satisfactory by
Dissenters, but the proposal on the whole struck me
as an instance of the difficulty there is in making a
man's political bias overcome his feelings as a good
and amiable citizen. The Member for Salford (Mr.
Brotherton) objected that the Dissenters would be
put off with a corner, and there would be perpetual
quarrelling ; on which I am tempted to observe, that
the recognition of the equal rights of Dissenters in an
Act of Parliament is so great a good, that the Dissen-
ters would be to blame if they did not put up with
the risk of some crowding for their dead, for the sake
of the benefit to arise to the living.
On Friday was a debate on the Sugar Duties, pre-
paratory to Monday. The whole subject and its
connexions are in the strangest imbroglio imaginable.
Never was there seen running such a cross sea of
conflicting interests,' and such au exemplification
of the " strange bedfellows" with which necessity,
like misfortune, may make men of hostile opinions
acquainted. An energetic Government might push
its way through all, and carry along with it the pre-
ponderant adherence which energy generally obtains.
But there is no particular appearance at this moment
of the Government's being thus energetic. The
neglected elements in the case are—First, that the
principles of free trade have got such hold on the
universal sense of the community, that it is matter of
ridicule to attempt to represent a monopoly
as anything but the sacrifice of a definable
amount by the nation,—this amount being measurable
by the totality of the difference of price paid, minus
what may be received by the Government in duty.
Secondly, that the West Indians are not a popular
but an unpopular body; that they are odious as
having long existed upon duties, which is in other
words being supported out of the pockets of the
community ; as the recipients also of an enormous
sum, twenty millions, when the opinion, right or
wrong, of great masses of the people was, that they
ought rather to have paid for being assisted out of
the dangers arising from the volcano of their own
making on which they stood. Thirdly, because
it is plain at the present moment, that their practical
object and living hope is to effect
something
equivalent to a restoration of the slave trade from
the coast of Africa ; the evidence of which is not in
surmise or suspicion, but in their own substantial
efforts and speeches in Parliament against the main-
tenance of the African squadron, which on any other
hypothesis, would be a squadron acting in support of
their interests, as checking the production of sugar
by their rivals in Cuba and Brazil. Conceal it as they
like, " Fear ye the constable" is written on their
acts, and he that runs does not omit to read it. Lastly,
the most weighty point of all, so chivalrously insisted
on by Sir Robert Inglis in Friday's debate,--that the
people of England are, heart and soul, opposed to
slavery in all its forms ; that they view this oppo-
sition as the legacy of the fathers they remember,
and the test of manhood they are to turn over
to their posterity; that they will do anything,
pay anything, if they only see it is going towards
their mark. Talk to them of a penny a pound on
sugar ; they would not stop if it was three -halfpence !
There is not one of these points that has not been
overlooked by some party to their detriment. The
Government has overlooked the truth, so manfully
stated by Sir Robert, that the hatred of the British
people to slavery is the element which will heave up
all before it, and the light which statesmen ought to
take for the direction of their views. The free-
traders have overlooked the fact, that without shrink-
ing an inch from the avowal that an artificial price
of sugar or anything else is so much taken
out of the pockets of the nation, and to be
written down in pounds shillings and pence ac-
cordingly, there is a mightier power engaged,
a power which would induce the man at Bradford
who cannot afford sugar in his tea, to toss up his
cap and beg to throw his treacle after it, a power
which does not reckon by arithmetic but by success,
or only values one as it leads down upon the other.
The West Indians have missed their way by not
entering into a hearty alliance with the anti-slavery
spirit of the country, and looking to redeem their
fortunes by the suppression of their piratical rivals
instead of a junction in the spoil. And the guides
and leaders of the anti-slavery power, have lost ground
by repudiating human means, and expending their ener-
gies in pursuance ofopinions which are not the opinions
of the great majority, and have never received the
stamp of practical sufficiency in any integral political
society. The olden peace-man settled his hat upon
his head end refused to hold Navy Three per Cents ;
but he let the navy take their way in the suppression
of piracy and slave-trading, as he consented to
live under the, protection of the police on shore,
though holding opinions of his own as to the autho-
rity for not holding the sword in vain.
What the country will,,demand is, a strong and
statesmanlike course of action directed to the great
points in view. If asked if I believe in statesman-
ship, I reply, Yes, as I believe in seamanship.
Neither the one nor the other is certain of success

descriptions moved off slowly, but we have no alteration
to notice in value. Oats were in good supply. Fine
f sound Corn produced late currencies, but the damp and
Otherwise weathered parcels were quite 6d per quarter
cheaper, with a very inactive demand. A very large quan-
tity of foreign Beans was brought forward, and which met
a heavy inquiry, at a reduction in value of is per quar-
ter. All kinds of Peas were in moderate supply, and
moderate request at last week's prices. Indian Corn
and Meal were neglected, but not cheaper. Flour was
in better request, but we have no improvement to notice
in its value.

and cases occur where it might seem to have
been the purpose of the mysterious power which
directs the universe, to throw scorn on the efforts of
human skill. But both one and the other succeed
when anything is done. No man ever fell into tha
sea, and, by catching at what he found there, was
conveyed to the antipodes; and equally unreasonable
is it to expect to see slavery put down, without using
the best human means to effect the purpose. What
would conciliate the maximum of adherence from
thoughtful men, would be a moderate differential duty
to the VTest Indians for a term of years, with notice
that after that period, foreign sugars not slave-grown
would be admitted to equality. And during that
period, all hands should be called on the coast of Africa
to destroy the slave trade under the powers of existing
treaties, joined to diplomatic exertions to procure the
execution of the laws of nations against piracy, and
to promote the movements of foreign countries to-
wards bring their sugars into the desired state of ad-
missibility. If the Americans talk of equality with
the most favoured nation, they must be told that if
they will give up slave cultivation when others do,
they will have a claim to equal admission. But it
they mean to deny the right of England to concede
commercial advantages for British objects in return,
and force their slave-grown sugar on British mouths,
the question had better be settled now, than when
they have got the fifty thousand men behind the
Horse Guards which they promise.
While on this subject, it is impossible to avoid ob-
serving that the aspect of things is very encouraging
for the enemies of slavery. The evidence before the
Slave Trade Committee shows an advance in commerce
and security on the coast of Africa, strikingly Con•
trasted with what I used to witness there forty years
ago. A letter has just been published by the Go-
vernment from the Naval Commander-in-Chief on
the coast of Africa, Sir Charles Hotham, urging the
recognition of the Black Republic of Liberia, in
terms demonstrating that statesmanship is not con-
fined to land. Of course the publication of such a
letter is tantamount to agreement with its recom-
mendation. The stupid transatlantic theory of the
inferiority of the black races, is scouted in every
quarter connected with British policy; and a man
will soon be accounted as great a blockhead who asks
whether a thing shall be done by black citizens or
white, as the commander of a cavalry regiment who
should ask whether his black or his white horses were
intended in an order to charge. Lord John Russell
stops the mouths of the West Indian owners with
the declaration, that come what will of them, who
are only the ninety-ninth part of
the West Indian
community, there are eight hthuendmreadssthoofusaaonyd

Points further established by the
Published
tl either
by the Slave Trade Committee, are thatnntePh
of the squadron on the coast of Africa mi
be halved or its efficacy doubled, by the sigm
cess.of not employing vessels of twice the sizepneeeCiaerdo;
and that the outlay for men and vessels on the most
romantic scale would be somewhere about that of
three sail of the line, from which you landsmen may
form your own judgment as to its bearing on the
naval resources of our boasted empire. Steam-vessels,
which are the cavalry of the sea, are almost the only
vessels applicable to the service; which the last letter
from the Naval Commander-in-Chief confirms. We
have the evidence of naval officers, that a steam-vessel
of one gun and fifty men, being something like the
smallest of the vessels in which you go from
London to Margate, is competent to the object; and
consequently vessels of ten guns and a hundred men
are waste. The Brazilians are employing steam-vessels
in the slave-trade; and if as the last accounts beer
out, they are entirely beating even the steamers of
the British navy, the British naval departments
must find the way to get the upperhand, though they
should send midshipmen and shipwrights into the
Brazilian service to learn their business.

SPORTING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The racing at Ascot did not lead to the unra-
velling of any future event; but, on tho contrary, in-
creased the mystery hanging over the Derby and leading
stakes in the womb of time, to such an extent, that the
strongest mental lorgnette will, I am afraid, be unable
to pierce the veil of fate. Springy Jack's double per-
formance in the Welcome and Windsor Stakes has ad-
vanced him in the Leger odds to 3 to 1 takers, while it
has improved Surplice's position, which may now be
quoted as 6 to 4, and that the outside price.
I am of opinion that Springy Jack, in losing the
Derby, lost his only chance this year with Surplice, the
latter being much better able to stay the Leger course
than Elastic John, who will probably find his way home
secend in the great northern trial.
Flitcatcher's race with The Hero proves that he can
get a distance, but I cannot think he stands a chance of
beating the Melton and Goodwood cracks.
Justice to Ireland, by Birdcatcher, out of Shepherdess,
the property of the Duke of Bedford, as a three 3-rs old,
is completely dark, and at two yrs he only ran once, fur
the Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh, when he beat the
Perdita filly, King of Kildare, and nine others, in a can-
ter. This performance, added to his present condition,
shape, and size must make him a dangerous rival for
the Goodwood pet.
Garrick's running for the New Stakes does not justify
his present position in the Derby betting, for which race
he stands but little chance. Mr. Green has one who is
at least ilbs, better than the crack, and another which
will not appear in public this year, but when fully pre-
pared will be a dangerous customer for the Epsom
event.
Glauca must be regarded favourably for the Oaks of
next year, being a rapidly improving mare.
The tryst at Newcastle begins with the Produce
Stakes, for which Lovelock or Susan Lovell ought to be
thereabouts.
The Hotspur Stakes a walk over for Mr. Green.
The Tyro Stakes on paper seem destined for Mr.
Green with Cigarette or Weston; but I am inclined to
place my faith in Lords Eglinton and Zetland, the filly
by Don John, belonging to the latter, will be sure to be
near the mark.
On Wednesday the betting race of the week, the
Northumberland Plate, will be decided, and for which a
small field only will be brought to the post, probably
about fourteen, to be selected from the following:—

Should Swiss Boy be sent instead of Sylvan, or both

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

AT
EXPOSION AT PRESTON.—FIVE LITER
LosT.—On Saturda rn :
morning, a few minutes before
nine o'clock, as theyworepeople were about to recom-
mence work after breakfast, at the Sovereign-mill, in
London-road, in this town, the property of Mr. Hollins,
the boiler burst, and overthrowing the brick wall on one
side of it, scattered the materials, as well as steam and
hot water, for a considerable distance, severely injuring
several parties who had breakfasted in the engine-house.
F the flive died the
the same day from their injuries. The plates
in that gave the undue ressure of
steam were at the furthrendof the boiler, and the im-
mense volume of steam set at liberty burst through the
ceiling, and scattered bricks in the room above. The
steam was also forced through the windows of the ware-
house, at a distance of twenty yards, and the windows
of each story were completely shattered. Immediately
and n the disaster occurring, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Haldan,
Mr.
dered Spencer, surgeons, were on the spot, and ren-
prompt assistance to the sufferers, several of
whom were removed to the 'louse of Recovery as soon
as their bruises had been dressed. The parties were
in the first instance taken to the Rose-bud, and Cheet-
ham's A
b ur
ofrms inns, and to the other houses in the neigh
bourhood. The engine, which was a high-pressure one,
is twenty-six horse-power. The cause of the accident
is not known, but an investigation is being made into
the circumstances. The inquest will take place on
Monday.
ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—On Saturday last the en-
gTipperar give-house of the Waterford and Limerick Railway, at

It will consequently be seen from this statement, tlaskt
it is incumbent upon well-wishers and friends to raise
additional annual subscriptions. The efforts of private
individuals connected with the direction and in the cor-

maintain and uphold the interests of the charity. There

while on her first outward voyage to Quebec. The tans-
fortunate vessel was only launched at Sunderland in the
latter part of last year, a gentleman named Collinson
being the owner. She took her departure from Graves-
end in the early part of the spring with a number of
passengers, and a cargo of merchandise insured for
70,000/. Her passage across the Atlantic was as favour-.
able as could be desired, and she had gained within 70
miles of her destination when the unfortunate event oc-
curred. It took place on the night of the 11th of Last
month, when running along the coast of the Little Fox
river ill a gale of wind from the westward. A thick mita! pre-
veiling prevented observations of the ship's course being
taken, in consequence of which she got too close in, and
ran ashore on a mass of sunken rocks. She struck vio-
lently several times, producing the utmost consternation
among the passengers and crew. Her masts were cut
away, in the hopes it would lighten the vessel and she
would float off, but she remained test, and, the weather
continuing boisterous, soon beat in her bottom, and she
filled with water. The following night an attempt was
made by a gang of desperate wreckers to plunder the
wreck and the stores, which had been saved and landed
on the shore. They came down in large numbers, and
the master of the Astoria had to direct his men to fire
on them to disperse them : some, it was said, were
badly wounded. By the last accounts from the master,
it appears there is not the smallest chance of the vessel
being saved, and she was immediately expected to go to
pieces.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT TIIE LIVERPOOL ZOOLOGICAL
GARDENS.—LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—This morning a
melancholy accident occurred at these gardens. The
stupendous elephant, Raja, the finest animal of the kind
in Europe, was chastised by his keeper, Richard
Howard, slightly, for some disobedience. The animal
immediately resented, and struck his keeper to the
gr,,und, crushing him to death afterwards with his foot.
This is the second keeper within a few years who has
been killed by this elephant, who was generally exceed-
ingly tractable, and walked about the gardens on gala
nights with an Eastern car behind him. The Messrs.
Atkins immediately resolved upon destroying the
animal, and, for this purpose, two ounces of
prussic acid and twenty-five grains of aconite were
administered to him in a bun ; but beyond a
slight uneasiness for about five minutes, the elephant
did not seem to be at all affected by the poison.
After waiting three-quarters of an hour, and finding
the poison was not likely to take effect, it was deter-
mined to shoot the animal. A detachment of the 52d,
Rifles, who are at present stationed in Liverpool, were
sent for, and twelve men having entered the den, they
waited and fired. The animal staggered, and leant

FIRE NEAR GUILMIALL.—ShortIy before six
o'clock on Saturday evening a fire broke out in the
extensive range of buildings recently known as this
Bassishaw-chambers, in Basinghall-street, which closely
adjoin the eastern end of Guildhall, and for some Liras
placed that ancient structure in danger. The flames,
when first discovered, were issuing from the back win-
dows of the second floor, in the occupation of Messrs.
Forestine and Co., German merchants and importers of
foreign clocks. Immediately on the outbreak the hose
was attached to the tire-mains belonging to the various

until the whole of the upper part of the premises in
which they originated was gutted, and the adjoining
buildings on either side damaged by fire and water.
Messrs. Forestine and Co.'. stock is stated to have been
extensive, and their loss is estimated at 5,0001. The
building is insured in the l'hcenix Fire-office, but it was
not known last night in what office the stock is insured.
The origin of the fire is believed to have been caused
through the flooring of the warerooms being covered
with Russia matting, and a number of foreign gentle-
men having been smoking there in the course of the
afternoon.

ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.
The directors and friends of this excellent institution
dined together last Saturday evening, at the Freema-
sons' Tavern, to celebrate its thirty-first anniversary.
His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch presided, supported
by many noblemen and gentlemen interested in its
progress.
After the usual loyal toasts,
The PRESIDENT, in an excellent speech, proposed the
" Caledonian Asylum, and may the offspring of the brave
never ►ant a protector."
The boys and girls of the school were marched round
the room, preceded by Mr. Mackay, her Majesty'a,
piper, and the Noble Chairman called on the company
to witness their appearance, which certainly reflects the
highest credit on the officers of the institution; perhaps
they are the finest and healthiest looking children among
the many charitable institutions in London.
His GRACE, who evidently felt the force of the scene,
appealed to the company to testify their satisfaction by
contributing to its support. He said that this was an
institution unlike most of the same character—superior
in its management, and conducted on the best principles
of economy, combined with liberality, and altogether
above the common order of these institutions; and al-
though, generally speaking, other charities had their
proceedings represented by the powerful aid of the press,
still the Caledonian Asylum needed but aa inspection of
its fruits to satisfy its subscribers.
The toast was received with applause.
His Grace then called forward the boys and girls who
were to receive medals for merit and good conduct, and
in a very feeling address presented them with the
pledges of reward, and then called on
Captain CHARLES FORBES, as a director, to report
more minutely the management and proceedings of the
institution. The Gallant Gentleman, who takes a sin-
cere interest in the welfare of the asylum, said that he
would confine himself to the general heads, with a view
to place before them the necessity for increased zeal and
assistance to this most interesting national institution.
In looking at the expenditure of the asylum during the
last two years, and the diminution that had taken place
in the funded capital of the corporation, which appears
to have taken everybody by surprise, it is necessary to
take into consideration three most important points:—
First, the average number of children and domestics
during the last 28 years; secondly, the addition made to
that number during the last two years; and thirdly, the
increase in the cost of all articles of provision during the
last two years. Now, for upwards of twenty years the
average cost perhead for an establishment of 90 individuals
has been about 181. to 201., or 1,800/. per annum, and with
outlay in building about 2,2001. per annum. The addi-
tion made in the number of children during the past twv
years has been 50 female children, and a corresponding
increase in the number of officers and servants, making,
with the boys already on the establishment, an
aggregate of 150 individuals, or an increase
of 60! During the last two years it is st matter
of history that famine prices have reigned in all articles
of provision, and difficulties have been experienced in
many institutions to obtain contracts. The average rate
per head increased in consequence from 20i. to soh per
head, which, upon 150 individuals, gives 4,506/., or upon
the sixty extra children and household, a clear increase
upon our former expenditure of 1,800/. per annum, for
the household, and of 2,8001. upon the gross expenditure
in the year. The income of the institution has been,
usually derived from the following sources :
From donations received at the annual Per annum.

FRANCE.
The Democratie Pacifique says—" That it was
cu:rently reported in the National Assembly yester-
day that M. Lamartine had four-and-twenty hours
before placed his resignation in the hands of his col-
leagues, but the considerations of public interest pre-
vented the fact being made public."
The Gazette de France prophecies the restoration
of Henri V. before Michaelmas. It is well that M.
,"Abbe de Genverde should have been thus particular
as to the date, because it will put the Republicans on
elm:" guard. At all events, after this declaration on
the pt, rt of the Legitimatists there can be no doubt as
to the existence of a reactionary party—a party
which irn,:st be grappled with at all hazards, inasmuch
as they wi:11 destroy the Republic if the Republic
does not destroy them.
