CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.

A general court of the corporation of the Cal-Aonian
Asylum was held yesterday, at the hall of the Scottish Hos-
pital, Crane-court, Fleet-street ; J. A. Simpson, Esq., one
of the treasurers, took the chair. There was a numerous
attendance of governors of the institution, it being under-
stood that an amendment to the decision of the preceding
court was to be moved by the ministers of the cottish
Presbytery in London in connexion with the Esgiblished
Church of Scotland, with respect to the examination and
religious superintendence of the children. The last court
decided that the Presbyterian clergy of the metropolis ge-
nerally were to be the examinators, in opposition to the
usage of a quarter of a century, during which it had been
connected with the Established Church; and upon the mo-
tion for the confirmation of the minutes,
The Rev. Dr. CUM3IING rose, and contended that no
departure should take place from precedent and practice
without very grave and serious reasons indeed, but as none
such had been alleged, he hoped that the determination of
the previous court would be reconsidered. He strongly de-
precated the adoption by the institution of a sectarian cha-
racter. He understood that some friends were about to
propose an intermediate course, and if upon the discussion
of the subject he should find that the feeling of the meeting
was in its favour, for the sake of peace and charity, and the
extinction of religious animosities, he would agree to it. He
moved that that portion of the minutes which had reference
to the proposed change be not confirmed.
The amendment having been seconded,
Captain CHARLES FORBES said, that with a view to the
stilling of that party spirit which had so long disturbed the
management of the charity, he should propose a motion,
which could offend neither party, and he trusted at the same
time would heal all the differences upon ecclesiastical matters.
He moved that the examination of the children be conducted
in future by the Government inspectors of schools, and that
the directors should invite such clergymen and friends as
they should deem fit.—( Hear, hear.)
The motion having been seconded a discussion ensued, in
the course of which it was intimated that the Noble Presi-
dent, his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, sanctioned the pro-
poaed amicable arrangement.
The Rev. Dr. CUMMING said that upon the distinct under-
standing that ministers were to be present as spectators or
guardians, and not as examinators, he would, with a view to
a good understanding among all parties, withdraw his oppo-
sition.

Wit-IL—The celebrated match in honour of Mr. Felix
terminated on Wednesday evening, in favour of Pilch's eleven,
who won, after a hard contest, by 34 runs, they scoring 209
a while their opponents scored 175. The play was ex-
lent, and through the whole period Lord's grounds were
crowded with nobility and gentry.
TIM OXONIA.NS r. ETONIANS.—This match was corn-
olnenized on Tuesday last, in the Playing Fields at Eton C ol-
br, and was stopped, in consequence of the Oxonians being
Iged to return to the university, when the Etonians had
ac".ed 107, having then four wickets to go down. The Ox-
fttans had previously scored 141.

RoyAL THAMES YACHT CLUB—Last evening the
monthly meeting of the above club was held at the Piazza
tel ; the Commodore, Lord A. Paget, presiding. The
c minutes of the revious meeting having been read and
anfirrned the offer of the Greenwich Pier Company to
aasil". the Star steamer to lie alongside this day, for the
Zec,"ledation of the friends of the club to witness the
ar,!‘ch for the Challenge Cup this day, was unanimously
tVeted, and the secretary desired to write a letter of
llnks. Letters were read from Kingstown and Ostend,
.ilouncing their respective regattas, and inviting the
"endance of members and yachts of this club. The
t,',)/Aniodore read a very interesting letter from his Grace
for Duke of Beaufort, thanking his Lordship and the club
lertietthe honour of being elected a member. The arrange-
Rentls for
the match of this day having been completed, the
and eeleinen Proposed at the last meeting were ballotted for
Ineetin:.ted, and others proposed for ballot at the ensuing
statingnat,
the last' . The Commodore stated that although this was
19th • night of entry for the Strangers' Cup match of the
yet, as from the circular issued by the club,
ex that the yachts were not to be " less than 25 tons,"
tons,o h sung 50 tons, when the latter, " not exceeding 50
he _linage, might have been deterred from entering; and
.11 (Lord Paget) therefore wished it to go forth through the
Nress, that the time for entry would be extended till Thum-
Ja-I'V next, the 11th instant. The remaining routine business
'laving been disposed of, the club adjourned till Thursday,
sTely 2.
A CURIOUS CONTRIVANCE.—Yesterday morning the
lives of several of the letter-carriers employed in the General
l'ost-office in St. Martin's-le-Grand were placed in great
jeopardy by the sudden disarrangement of part of the new
Inachinery recently erected in the establishment, used for the
Putpese of hoisting up the newspapers and men, and lowering
them from the newly-finished rooms over the inland and
letter•carriers' offices. The machine—which is worked by
means of a powerful engine placed in the centre of the base-
I/lent-4s fitted at each end of the letter-carriers' office, north
440. south. It consists of a series of flaps, about six feet
;Part, chiefly of wood, on a framework of iron, which are so
uconstructed as to pass with facility underneath and over the
4nof the framework, thus rendering any reverse motion
eneeessary. As the flaps reach the level of the ground-
-1,, baskets full of newspapers and men with trays filled
rave-litteithiletters are placed upon the flaps, which, while the

Chairman, and the court broke up.

LEGAL FESTIVALS.—The annual "great grand "
meetings of the societies of the Inner and Middle Temple
have taken place. That of the latter society was held last
evening, when the benchers and several of the judges, mem-
bers of the society, mustered in strong forces, and partook of
a grand entertainment in the Hall, which, as usual on extra
occasions, was densely thronged by members of the bar, and
"commoners" of the society, who, as accustomed at the annual
great grand banquet, did honour upon the occasion to the
Queen, in extra allowances of old port. The Judges, of
whom there were present the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice
Erle, &c., were warmly greeted on their departure. Of the
members present, there were the treasurer, Biggs Andrews,
Esq.,; Dr. Robinson, Master of the Temple ; J. Jervis, Esq.,
M.P. ; and Messrs. Knowles, Cockburn, Balguy, Martin,
Whitehouse, Bethel, Sir R. Comyn, Sir William Owen, and
many other learned gentlemen. On the 3d inst , the periodic
great grand dinner of the Benchers of the Inner Temple took
place In the Hall of that society, and was attended by most
of the Judges, of whom there were present the Lord Chief
Baron, Sir F. Pollock, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson,
Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice
Erie, Mr. Justice Creswell, Mr. Baron Platt, the Master of
the Rolls, &c., &c.

„
HEROIC CONDUCT.—Yesterday afternoon an accident
occurred at Dyer's Wharf, which, but for the heroic conduct
of a spectator, would have baen attended with the loss of
hhman life. A boy of about twelve years of age, fell from a
lighter, and had gone down two or three times, when George
Latham, a man of about 50 years of age; seeing the youth's
danger, promptly took off his coat and plunged into the
river. This gallant effort, we rejoice to add, was successful,
though made at the imminent peril of Latham's own
life. The present, we understand, is the third instance of
this individual's having been the means of saving a fellow-
creature from a watery grave.
CASE OF STABBlNG.—Yesterday afternoon, about
three o'clock, a young man named John Burrows, a bell-
hanger, of No. 7, Holborn-buildings, Holborn, was brought
into St. Bartholomew's Hospital, by some of the City police-
constables, in a state of great agony, in consequence of his
having been stabbed in the abdomen, a short time pre-
viously, by his own brother, by what is technically called a
bell carriage—a long piece of four square iron, pointed at
one end. Upon examination by the surgeon, it was found
that the wound was of a dangerous character, being fully an
inch and a half in depth, and situated immediately below the
navel. The unfortunate man, who was previously an out-
patient of the institution of which he is now an inmate, it
appears, visited his brother William, who is also a bell-
banger in Coleman-street buildings, Moorgate ; and finding
there another brother named Charles, who is a few years
younger, he remonstrated with him upon some impropriety
of conduct it is said he had been guilty of, when the latter
suddenly snatched up the instrument above-mentioned, and
thrust it with great force into the abdomen of his unfortu-
nate brother, and would have repeated the blow, had not the
poor sufferer have fallen to the ground. The unfortunate man
is at present considered in a dangerous state.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LIVERPOOL.—On Thursday
morning, at a few minutes after eight o'clock, smoke was
seen to issue from one of the workshops of Messrs. War-
brick and Simm, joiners, Oxford-street North, Scotland-
road, and shortly afterwards flames burst forth with most
vehement fury. The street in which the fire occured runs
from Scotland-road, westward to Vauxhall-road, and Messrs.
Warbrick and Simm occupied two timber-yards, in which
were workshops, constructed of wood, on the north side the
street, near to the top of it, or at the Bcotland-road end.
The Property in the workshops consisted almost entirely
of Partially manufactured articles in fittings for different
public-houses and the new Temperance Hall, and which but
for the "strike” would long since have been completed and
sent off. The loss to Messrs. Warbrick and Simm will be, it
is estimated, at the

days since this Rev. Gentleman subscribed a large sum, 1001.,
to the relief committee of Castletown, as well as to other
similar charitable bodies. He is also a subscriber to every
charity in the country.—Dublin Packet.
COLLISION ON THE MERSEY.—The jury in the col•
lision case, after an absence from court for fifty minutes, re-
turned, at balf•past five o'clock yesterday evening, with the
following verdict That John Roche came by his death
from injuries received in the spine, but that when, where, and
how received, there was no evidence to show : that .Patrick
Geoghan met his death accidentally; and they laid a dt.‘odand
of 2001. on the Sea Nymph." The coroner said the amount
of the.deodand should be paid within fonrteen days.
