GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND —Yesterday, pur-
suant to a requisition, a general meeting of the subscribers
to this fund was held in the saloon of the Lyceum Theatre,
to revise the rules of the institution previous to the r embodi-
ment in the royal charter of incorporation, for which appli-
cation is now being made. J. B. Buckstone, Esq.. having
taken the chair, the members present proceeded to the con-
sideration of rules a 2 and 3, relating to the death of an-
nuitants. Mr. Lcy moved, and tr. Lewis seconded,
" That the representatives of a deceased annuitant be entitled
to claim the portion of the quarter's sale y due at his or her
death, and 101. also as burial money." To this Mr. Cullen-
ford moved an amendment, to the effect that such represen-
tatives be entitled to claim the balance of annuity. or 101..
but not both. Mr. Worrell having seconded this amendment,
it was put and carried by a large majority. Mr. Culleuford
th-n moved and Mr. Worrell seconded a resolution, express-
ing the eligibilty of parties performing at the Grecian or any
other sal, on licensed by the Lord Chamberlain to become
members of the fund; the motion, however, was lost. It
was then moved, seconded, and carried unanimously, that
the number of directors be increased from fifteen to twenty.
one. After considerable sliscussion it was ultimately agreed,
on the motion of Mr. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Cowie, that
two new directors should be elected annually, and that five of
the seven geingout by rotation should be eligible for re-elec-
tion. Moved by Mr. Saville, and seconded by Ur. Williams,
that the secretary give three months' notice either of his in-
tention to resign his office o• to apply for an advance of
salary; carried. A vote of thanks having been unanimously
passed to the chairman, the meeting separated.
A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF DR. JOHNSON.
It is not generally known that Dr. Johnson was a constant
attendant at the service in St. Clements Danes Church, in
one of the pews of which he had a seat for many years. The
circumstance had almost been forgotten, when the present
churchwarden, Mr. Spencer, instituted same inquiries, in
order that a tablet should be placed in memory to the great
lexicographer. The result-was, that a correspondence took
place between the churchwarden and the Rev. Dr. Croly,
which clearly established the fact, that the learned doctor
always sat in No. 18 pew in the north gallery, and against
the large pillar at the end. The churchwarden, the late
churchwarden, Mr. Spillman, and one or two other friends,
determined that the pillar should bear a testimonial record-
ing the interesting fact; and Dr. Croly was requested to
write the inscription. This he cordially agreed to, and on a
neat brass tablet, in the place and on the pillar above referred
to, will be found the graceful tribute to a great man's
memory, from the pen of the eloquent rector of St. Stephea's,
Walbrook, Dr. Croly:—"ln this pew and beside this pillar,
for many years attended Divine service, the celebrated Dr.
Samuel Johnson, the philosopher, the poet, the great lexico-
grapher, the profound moralist, and chief writer of his time.
Born 1709 ; died 1784. In the remembrance and honour of
noble faculties, nobly employed some inhabitants of the
parish of St. Clement Danea have placed this memorial,
A.D. 1851." This "slight" but lasting memorial, at the
cost of the churchwardens, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Spillman, and
one or two others, has been place t on the great pillar, and
the pew and the identical seat occupied by the "profound
moralist" are objects of much interest.
ST. STEPHEN'S, WALDEOOR.--At the meeting of
the vestry of this pariah, yesterday, Mr. Rock drew the at-
tention of the vestry to the propriety of throwing open their
splendid church for the inspection of visitors to London
during the Exhibition. In Rome and Italy the church of St.
Stephen—the master-piece of Sir Christopher Wren, was
much talked of, being considered the most stately structure
in Europe—therefore, visitors from those parts would take
great interest in its inspection. He therefore begged to pro-
pose that the church be opened to the public free from ch .rge
or fees, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Tt idays during the
time of the Exhibition. Mr. Unwin seconded the proposi-
tion, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks
having been passed to the rector (Dr. Croly), the meeting
separated.
THE CENSUS Os' GLASGOW.—We understand that

it will not be possible to give an official and authentic state-
ment of the population of the city for some days yes— possibly
I a fortnight. In these circumstance it is impossible to make
any approximation to the result. We may, however, state
that the population on the south side of the river, within the
Parliamentary bounds, is, as near as may be, about 60,000,
which is somewhat under the estimated &tout. —.Daily
