SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.—The quarterly ge-
neral meeting was held yesterday afterncon at the rooms of
the institution in King William-street, when the chair was
taken by Dir. John Labouchere. A petition to the !louse of
Commons, in opposition to the Charitable Trusts Bill, was
read and agreed to, as the principles were considered lsoth
needless and vexatious. So stringent were the regulations,
that it'ivas stated, should the Bill pass, one of the metropo-
litan hospitals would be closed. The report stated that time
had been received during the past quarter in heard the
_Dreadnought, as patients, 17 from her Majesty's ships, 555
*from British and foreign vessels, and remaining en board on
the let of January, 178. There were on board 162 sick, 1
convalescent, and 3 fit for duty; whilst the number of out-
patients, from Jan. 1. to March 31, was 313. The balance of
cash in and was 4664 15s. Bd., and the funds were in a very
prosperous condition. It was also announced that the num-
ber of patients who had received the benefits of the institu-
tion since its establishment was 57, 787. •
THE QUARTERLY RECEIPTS AT THE LIA-LEPOCL
CUSTOM-lIOUSE.—We have again at this port a decreasing
quarterly revenue, arising principally from the reductions in
raw'materials and articles of consumption in this district.
The gross revenue of the corresponding quarter of last year,
viz., the three months ending the sth of April, 1845,
amounted to 928,9731. To the 4th of April this year, up to
which date the return is made up, the receipts are only
793,4241, thus showing a deficit of 165,519/.--Liverpoo/
Standard.
INSANITY IN CANADA.—From the census returns of
the United States, it appears that the number of tho insane
and idiotic in Canada is greater in proportion to the popula-
tion than in the United States. The population of Milted
Canada is 1,199,604; the number of iesano and idiotic is
2,376, or Ito 504. The total popelation•of the United States
is 17,069,453,. and the number of the insane and idiotic is

with a population of 506,055, has 221 male idiots, bud 178

in Upper Canada the number of insane by far exceeds the
idiotic; this is attempted to be explained by the different
origin of the population. The inhabitants of Lower Canada
are nearly all of French origin—those of Upper Canada

INCREASE AND DIMINUTION
,OF SALARIES (PUBLIC
OFFlCES).—According to a return just issued by order of the
House of Commons, it appears that in the year 1845 there
was an increase in the various public offices or departments
of 2,267 persons employed. Of these, 2,035 were engaged in
the Post-office department of the United Kingdom, and 102
in the Customs. In various offices or departments; however,
in the same year, there was a diminution in the number of
individuals engaged of 463 ;:of these, 396 were in the. E-
xcise, and 49 at Chelsea Hospital. The total increase in sala-
ries, emoluments, retired allowances, and expenses during
the year, wa5.129,8791, and the total diminution of expen-
diture resulting from the reductions in others of the public
offices amounted to 67,754/, leaving a balance of about
62,125/. increase of expenditure during the year 1845.
THE WEITIIEB.—DEPLORABLE OCCURRENCE.—From
Sunday until Monday the weather was exceedingly inclement
—cold and stormy, with incessant rain. Sunday. was one
of the harshest days we remember for a long time. At
half-past two o'clock on that day, whilst the sea was
rolling mountains high, twe young gentlemen, John and
Zachariah Dawson Williams, sons of our much respected
fellow-citizen, Mr. Williams, of Clifton-teraee, MonkstoWrit
and Stafford-street, in this city, were walking

tina, the body of a young woman in a domino, and stabbed
in various parts, was found in one of rho boxes on the last
row ; the body was in a state of putrefaction. She was, no
doubt, assassinated at the last festival of the Carnival, since
which time the theatre has been closed. The perpe•
tration of this crime is attributed to jealousy. The name of
.the victim has not trauspired."
The Austrian Censorship has placed the whole stock
of a Leipzie bookseller under sequestration, and forbidden
the Viennese bookiellers to purchase any part of the same.
ThC cause of this extreme measure is a pamphlet issued from
the 'shop of the above publisher, and circulated clandestinely
in Hungary, containing, as it alleged, seditious language.—
