THE ART-UNION.-(THIS DAY•)

The annual meeting of the subscribers to this insti-
tution was held this day, at twelve o'clock, in Drury-
lane Theatre. The Duke of Cambridge, who was re-
ceived with loud cheers, presided.
Among those on the platform we noticed Mr. B. B.
Cabbell, M.P., Mr. Martin, M.P., Mr. Wyse, M.P.,
Sergeant Thompson, &c., &c. The boxes and arena
were graced by a number of beautiful and elegantly-
attired ladies.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE rose and said—Ladies and
Gentlemen, it will be wholly unnecessary for me to
detain you w;th any observations, as everything inter-
esting for you to hear will be found in the report
which, I have no doubt, you are anxious to hear read.
I have deeply to regret that the council are not en.
abled to make as favourable a report to•day as they did
last year, as unfortunately the number of subscribers
has greatly fallen off, to the amount, I fear, of nearly
6,0001.; the reason of which is fully stated in the report.
Having said thus much, I will call upon Mr. Godwin to
read the report.—(Cheers.)
Mr. GODWIN then read the report, which was ex
tremely voluminous.
Mr. MARSHALL moved the first resolution, that the
report be adopted, and that the meeting cordially agree
in the efforts made to maintain the fundamental princi-

pies of the institution, and request the council toperse-
vere in their exertions, and that the thanks of the meet-
ing be presented to the council for their valuable exer-
tions.— (Cheers.) He lamented that the subscriptions
had fallen off, and that the Board of Trade had thought
fit to meddle with their proceedings.
Mr. B. B. CANBELL, M.P, seconded the motion. He
begged to thank his Royal Highness, in the name of the
übserib ors, for his condescension in taking the chair, and

fur the interest he had ever manifested in the welfare of

the institution.—(Loud cheers.) Although they
appeared there under the sanction of their charter
and of an Act of Parliament, he had no hesita-

tion in saying, that great impediments had been
thrown in their way by the Board of Trade.—(Hear.)
Their interference could not even be justified by the
fashionable term of the day—that of " expediency."—
(Hear.) A society based on the principles laid down by
the Board of Trade was established, but it only lasted
three years—(Hear)—for it was impossible for any body
of men to select pictures which would please others. Was
there a lady or gentleman present who would like the
p:rtners of their lives selected by committees of their
own sex ?—(Laughter) and yet that principle was
sought to be introduced under the name of a bye law ;
but it was miscalled, for a bye-law was subsidiary to one
leading principle, whereas here it was intended to abro-
gate the fundamental principles of the Art 'Union alto-
gether.—(Cheers.) He hoped the Board of Trade would
abandon their determination.

Mr. HERSEY said that one great cause of the falling-
off of the subscriptions was the bad engravings which
were presented to the subscribers during the pest year.
The motion was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Sergeant THOMPSON proposed a vote of thanks
to the honorary secretaries, Mr. Godwin and Mr.Pocock,
and in doing so, said the council had procured engra-
vers of the best reputation, but that one of the gentle-
men applied to was compelled from old age and infir-
mities to seek leave of absence, in order that he might
recruit his strength on the Continent—hence the delay,
and, perhaps, inefficient workmanship had been the
result.

Mr. HurtesToxE seconded the resolution, which, after
a few observations from Mr. Hawkins, was declared by
the Royal Chairman to be carried unanimously.
Mr. GODWIN returned thanks, as did also Mr. Pocock.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE then shortly addressed the
meeting;

drawing of the prizes commenced.

SUICIDE OT A RESPECTABLE TRADESMAN.-DISt
evening Mr. iliggs held an inquest at the Spotted Dog,
Strand, upon the body of Mr. Barrett, aged 45, late of
13, Ckment's Inn-passage, Clare-market, where he had
carried on an extensive baking establishment. It ap-
peared that for• some time past deceased betrayed great
mental anxiety, which partly arose from family matters
and partly fro ea disappointment in trade. Between one
and two o'clock on Sunday morning he rushed from the
house in an excited state, exclaiming., (
«I'll do it, I'll do
it." His housekeeper and a constabl pursued him, but
he eluded thera, and in five hours afterwards his lifeless
body was found by the Thames Police on the shore close

GLASGOW, APRIL 22.—The price of Scotch pig
iron delivered here may be quoted to-day at 425. 6d. per
ton net cash for mixed numbers. The advance in price
asked by holdors on Saturday last has been freely ob-
tained this woek. There have been considerable in-
quiries for pig iron. The accounts from the Continent
are less desponding, and purchases are made with greater
confidence. The demand for home consumption is in-
creasing, and the price tends upwards.
