ClETY.—Yesterday the anniversary festival of this institu-
tion took place at the Castle Hotel, Richmond, and was un-
usually well attended. About 150 gentlemen sat down to
an excellent dinner, presided over by Mr. Chater. From the
report of the committee of management it appears that the
society is in a very prosperous condition in the important
matter of money, but that at present a very large proportion
of its members are persons who, in all probability, will never
become applicants. It is, therefore, earnestly desired that
those branches of the trade who first suggested the forma-
tion of such an institution, and for whose especial benefit it
was originated, should now come forward and qualify them-
selves for receiving, in case of need, the advantages which
it confers. That wish wasatrongly expressed by the chairman
and other speakers during the evening. Another point
pressed, which is of some importance, was the propriety of
applying the resources of the institution rather to rendering
recipients comfortable in their own homes than to building
almshouses for them. To carry out this view a special fund
has been set on foot, and the subscriptions collected last
night are to be appropriated to it. These amounted to
nearly 4001. The musical arrangements connected with the
dinner were under the able direction of Mr. Ransford, and
Mr. Harker officiated as toastmaster.

Rome and Ultramontanism, and we should regard it as a
dereliction of duty not to speak as we have done, for we

We bzve received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The proposition for the prorogation of the As-
sembly from the 10th August to the 4th November
has been adopted by a majority of 420 to 230. M.
CRETON demanded that the discussion on his proposi-
tion for the repeal of the law exiling the Bounnom
should be fixed for Monday ; his demand was, how-
ever, rejected.
The Committee on the Bill for creating a bank in
Algeria has appointed M. PASSY president, and M. H.
DIDIER secretary.
The Bulletin de Paris states that, in consequence
of some of the principal Orleanisis having signified a
desire to put forward the Prince DE JOINVILLE as a
candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, the Le-
gitimatists who have been most prominent in their
opposition to LOUIS NAPOLEON are now showing a
strong inclination for a revision of the Constitution, in
ordc_r that he may be re-elected.
The Iliessager says—" it is reported that General
Saint ARNAUD, who is about to return to France
from Algeria, will either replace General MAGNAN at
Strasburgh, or General GUILLADERT, who goes to
Nantes."

"111. CHARLES }lna°, editor of the Evenentent,"
says the Paris correspondent of the lndependance of
Brussels, " was called on to constitute himself a
prisoner, in consequence of his recent condemnation.
But there was no place vacant except in the prisons
set apart for thieves. On the observation being made
to the Prefect of Police, he decided that M. CHARLES
IiUGO should wait, in order not be placed among such
company."
' The Bourse was dull, with little business doing.
