CURRIERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.--This in-
stitution, which was established to afford pecuniary relief
to aged and infirm journeymen curriers, held its second
annual meeting at the Mechanics' Institute, Chancery-
lane, last night; E. Grant, Esq., in the chair. The re-
port for the past year was read by Mr. Tapscott, secre-
tary. It congratulated the members on the fact that
Lord Robert Grosvenor had kindly consented to become
the patron of the society, as well as upon the increasing
support it was now receiving from the Corriere Com-
pany, and the influential employers of the trade. It has
now about two hundred enrolled members, ten shillings
per annum being the subscription paid by the journey-
men, and twenty-one shillings by the masters. It pro-
poses to afford relief, amounting to eight shillings per
week, to aged or infirm journeymen, or to reduced ci-
devant masters, and 4s. weekly to their widows. These
allowances, however, will not commence till the stock of
the society, which now amounts to 230 L, reaches the sum
of 500/. The report having been unanimously adopted,
the remainder of the business transacted was of a formal
and routine character.
THE CHEBSEAIONGERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.
—The annual dinner in aid of the funds of this charity
was held last night at the London Tavern, when about
100 members of the trade assembled on the occasion.
Mr. S. Anderson, president of the institution, filled the
chair, and the result of the proceedings was very satisci
factory, as the secretary during the evening announced
subscriptions to the amount of 4201.
A. statement having appeared in a morning con-
temporary to the effect that Mr. Palgrave, scholar
re.
of
Balliol, had joined the Church of Rome, we are
quested, on unquestionable authority, to contradict the
Same.

CHELTENHAM ELECTION, THURSDAY.—The news
of the division on the motion for the issue of the writ for
election of a Member in the room of Sir Willougby
.tones, arrived here this morning, and the decision has
set all parties on the qui vive. Party spirit runs very
high in this place, and a strong feeling prevails not only
amongst the Conservatives, but others, against what is
called " the influence of Berkeley Castle." Mr. Grantley
Berkeley, always eager to rush into print, has issued a
placard denouncting the "castle nominee," his relative
the Hon. C. F. Berkeley, who is the candidate in the
Liberal interest. The address of Mr. Berkeley has
already be fully before the public. The Conservative
candidate is Mr. James Agg Gardner, a wealthy inha-
bitant of Cheltenham, whom the Conservatives under.
take to return free of expense. A rumour having been
circulated to the effect that the Conservatives had made
overtures to the Liberals for a compromise, Mr Sbewell,
the chairman of the Conservative committee, bas issued
a denial on authority.
MISHAP TO THE lIIBERNIA.—The regularity with
which the steam-packets from America usually arrive
causes the more anxiety when one of them does not
make her appearance when due.. Some uneasiness was
felt at Liverpuol on Tuesday respecting the Hibernia,
and it was not, it seems, without foundation, for she ran
on shore in the evening of that day on the Calf of Man,
during a fog. Whether she sustained any damage has
not been ascertained, as the misfortune was not divulged
on her first arrival.
PRESERVED MEATS.—A vessel arrived in the river
from Galatz has brought the large quantity of 23,9.44
canisters of preserved meats. This description of article
is in request not only for home consumption, but also as
the stores of vessels proceeding to foreign and distant
parts of the world. The same vessel brought 700 quar-
ters of Indian cora, the produce of the place.
