cane and Co.-, iron merchants. He also ex-
pressed his high obligation to the parties more imme-
diately in his own employment, specifying the names
of John Cochrane and Charles Clark, who had exerted
themselves in the roost remarkable and praiseworthy
manner during his illness.— (Cheers.) Some remarks
had recently been made on the perishable nature of
the materials of the building, and particularly with
I respect to the woodwork in the roof. Now, from his
own experience, he had no hesitation in saying that the
roof would last 100 years.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. Fox (the Mayor of the borough) returned
thanks on behalf of his brother, from whom he had
received a letter stating that it would have appeared
an ungracious thing it both he and Mr. Paxton had
been absent from Paris at the present moment, when
the French people were displaying such unbounded
hospitality in honour of the Exhibition and those
more immediately connected with it. He added, " I
need not tell you how highly I estimate Mr. Paxton's
talent, and with what admiration I regard the great
and lofty conception of his which has justly given his
name a world-wide celebrity."—(Cheers.)
Tne CHAIRMAN then proposed " The High Sheriff
of the County," which was duly acknowledged by that
gentleman.
Sir H. Wramo-r proposed " The Members for the
County," which was responded to by Mr. Evans and
Mr. Mundy.
Mr. SUTTON, the vice-chairman, gave " The
Borough Members," who severally acknowledged the
toast.

Then came " The Mayor," which was responded
to by his Worship.

Mr. CAYENDISI7I, M.P., in highly eulogistic terms,
proposed, " The Chairman," who briefly acknowledged
the compliment.
The 119 v. J. SYKES then proposed "The Guild of
Literature and Art."

Mr. FOSTER responded. The object of the guild
was to encourage life assurance and other provident
habits amongst authors and artists—to render them
such assistance as should never compromise their in-
dependence—and to found a new institution in which
honourable rest from arduous labour should still be
associated with the discharge of congenial duties.—
(Cheers.) lie believed these objects to be possible of
attainment. He knew them to be worthy of the
struggle that would be made to secure them, and he
was proud to be engaged in such a work with the
author of " Pelham" and " Rienzi"—(Cheers)—
with the author of "Pickwick" and " David Cop-
perfield"—(Cheers)---and with his friend near him,
Mr. Mark Lemon.—(Cheers.) He trusted he might
be permitted to allude for one moment to the
Noble Duke who had honoured the company with
his presence—(Cheers)—and his remarks would not
refer to him in connexio❑ with the county of Derby,
but to the manner in which he ever listened to the
claims of humanity wherever they existed. If the
"Guild of Literature and Art" should ever be esta-
blished it would be owing to the princely assistance
given by that nobleman—to his noble munificence,
displayed in a manner which he could not venture to
describe, and which every one connected with the es-
tablishment of that institution confessed to be a debt
which he could never repay.—(Cheers.) But when
was an appeal ever made in vain to the Noble
Duke of Devonshire in the name of merit of any
kind ?—or when did he ever turn a deaf ear to the
claim of distress ? To him indeed might be applied
the words of the poet—
" Not more high in rank than good,
With manners generous as his noble blood;
Possessed of every riches, his the art

To enjoy and }'et kindness to impart,
To ease the oppressed and raise the sinking heart."
(Cheers.) Such would be among the objects
achieved by the " Guild of Literature and Art," if by
the Noble Duke's munificent assistance, and the sym-
pathy of the public that institution should ever be
founded.—(Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then proposed "The Strangers."
The toast was acknowledged by Mr. M. Lemon,
and the company shortly afterwards separated.

ROYAL MARINES.
The annual inspection of the Portsmouth division of
Royal Marines, under Colonel-Commandant Menzies,
K. 11., commenced yesterday by Major-General Lord
Fozslarence and Colonel Owen, C. 8., K.H., Deputy-
Adjutant-General of the Royal Marines. The inspec-
tion commenced at Forton Barracks. The inspecting
officers commenced their duties by reviewing the divi-
sion in heavy marching order on parade at eleven o'clock,
inspecting both officers and men, their arms, accoutre-
ments, and kits, and afterwards the men's dinners in
the barrack-rooms, their books, &c., in the mess-roens,
which yielded unqualified satisfaction. The inspection
yesterday was confined to the barracks. To-day the di-
vision was reviewed on Haslar-common, and went
through all the manoeuvres ordered with that precision
and accuracy which the Portsmouth division of the gal-
lant Marine corps is so justly famed for.

The town is filling fast; indeed, there are not more
than a dozen lodging-houses now unlet. The great
reduction in the rents this year has filled the houses, and
the proprietors will find they have greater returns from
low rents than from high ones, as they have let for such
long periods.
The harvest is proceeding most satisfactorily; a good

The course we again very fully attended, and the
list produced large fields and plenty of excellent
sport. According to promise, the clerk of the course
caused the enclosure to be well watered previous to
the commencement of the races, and the dust was ef-
fectually laid until between four and five; after that,
however, it became as annoying as ever. Having taken
onr counsel iu this matter, we will venture to suggest to
the authorities that a proper telegraph, and an efficient
person to attend it, are indispensable to the carrying out
of the business of the course.

211A.RRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.
Yesterday forenoon the marriage of the Hon. W. Er-
nest Duncombe, eldest son of Lord and Lady Feversham,
with Miss Mabel Graham, second daughter of the Right
Hon. Sir James Graham, Bart., and Lady Graham, took
place at the church of St. George, Hanover-square, in
the presence of a brilliant circle of the friends of both
families, &c. We noticed present the Duke of Welling-
ton, the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl and Countess of
St. Germans, the Earl and Countess of Galloway, the
Marquis and Marchioness of Ely and the Ladies Loftus,
Lord Dufferin, Lady Dufferin, Lord and Lady Seymour
and the Ladies St. Maur, Lady Louisa Ponsoaby, Lord
John Fitzroy, Viscount Dungarvon, Major and Mrs.
Graham, Lady Caroline Stuart, the Hon. Mr. Par-
sons, &c. The bride was attended by eight bride-
maids, all most beautifully attired, and was given away
by her father, Sir James Graham. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. W. Graham, brother to the latter.
Afier the marriage the parties proceeded to the resi-
dence of Sir James Graham, in Grosvenor-place, where
a most sumptuous dejeuner was laid out. lhe toast of
the bride and bridegroom was proposed after the old
English fashion by the Duke of Wellington. The happy
couple soon afterwards left town for Lilly-hall, Brack-
nell, Becks, where they pass the honeymoon. Mr. Dan-
combe is 23 years of age, and his bride 21. The display
of beauty and fashion at this marriage was very great;
the bride was accompanied to the altar by eight of the
leading beauties of the day. Mr. Duncombe's eldest
brother, the Hon. Albert Duncombe, died about four
years ago.

COLLISION ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN

• BAIL WAY.
Yesterday morning a collision, happily attended with
no very serious consequences, occurred at the Vauxhall
station of the London and South-Western Railway.
The most alarming reports were soon spread over the
metropolis that two persons had been killed and a great
number seriously injured, both of which statements are
entirely destitute of foundation.
It appeared that a Richmond train left the Waterloo
station at ten minutes before eleven, and, as was
the usual practice, stopped at the Vauxhall station.
The number of persona wishing to go by this train
being extremely large, considerable time was occupied
by the crowd in taking their places, and by this time
the elevea o'clock express train to Southampton
«•cs duo, and the proper signals to indicate that
the line was not clear were hoisted, but at this part there
is a curve in the line, and the signal was seen at a short
distance only before reaching the station. The driver of
the engine to the express train, John Wilder, who is one
of the oldest and most careful men in the service of the
company, did all in his power by shutting off the steam
and applying the breaks to bring the train to a stand ;
but this was found to be impossible, and the inevitable
result was that the engine of the express-train came in
collision with the hinder carriage of the preceding train.
The suddenness of the shock created great alarm, several
persons were thrown forcibly against eaeh other, and
about twenty received some severe bruises, amongst
hich number were several persons who were in the act
of getting into the carriages. The only person who was.
as tar as we could ascertain, at all seriously injured,
was a Miss Foult, who received some contusions on the
head and shoulder, and to whom medical assistance
was immediately rendered. At eight o'clock last night,
we were informed that she was so far recovered from
the effects of the shock as to be able to be removed
to her home.

As soon as telegraphic intelligence of the accident was
received at the Waterloo station, Mr. Stovin, the general
manager, and Mr. Godson, the superintendent, imme-
diately prccet,ded to the spot to see that all proper as-
sistauce should be rendered that was required; and
several of those that were injured were tak' n into the
waiting-room, where they were attended by Mr. Vr right,
surgeona of the neighbourhood; but by about 4 o'clock
the hole of them were removed in cabs to their re-
spective residences. The news of the occurrence, in the
course of two hours, reached the half-yearly meeting of
ihe proprietors of the railway, at the Nine Elms station,
and the greatest interest was mani!ested to know
the result; but Mr. Chaplin, the chairman, said he
was most happy to be able to state that the collision had
not been atteuch d with any serious consequences. He
had been to the spot, and nothing had come to his
knowledge that could be at all considered serious. Both
trains eventually proceeded on their journey, but during
the day inquiries were constantly made at the station by
persons whose friends had passed down the line during
the day, as from the grossly exaggerated statements
that had been freely circulated, the worst fears were an-
ticipated.

This lino has been remarkably freu from accidents,
and there is no doubt that a full inquiry will take place,
with a view of ascertaining whether any blame attaches
to the engice•driver or any other person in this trans-
action.
