of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
particle'of gas, on reachieg the orjfice of the burner, is fairly

THE ROYAL LITERARY FUND.

The 70th anniversary of the Royal Literary Fund
was celebrated last night by a dinner at the Free-
masons' Hall, Great Queen-street. I?incoln's-inn-
fields ; the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, presided,
and was, supported by Prince Frederick of Holstein,
the Earl of Ripon, Lord Headley, Vice-Chancellor
Sir J, Stuart, Mr. Justice ilaliburton,..Mr, Puller,
M.P., Mr. 'Macaulay, M.P., Professor Owen, Mr. R.
Bell, the Right Hon. J. Wilson, Mr. G. Cruikshank,
and other leading friends of- the institution.
Between 200 and 300 gentlemen were present,
and accommodation was afforded- to a number of
ladies, as spectators of the proceedings, in the gal-
lery. , -
After the cloth had been .drawn,

The CHAIRMAN gave "'The health of the Queen,"
observing that this institution was. peculiarly in-
debted-for its prosperity to the favour which it had
received froth the Crown, and the countenance thus
afforded was net only honourable to the Literary
Fund, but reflected honour upon the Sovereign of
these realms. , •
The toast'having been, drunk with the customary
demonstrations of loyalty,
The CHAIRMAN next gave ‘,‘•The Prince Consort
and the rest of the Royal ,Fainily,"illtiwas well
known, he said, that the Prifice CoiiSert,"bythe 'as-
siduous Cultivation and' discipline of admirable na-
tural gifts, sedulously continued amid the tvarious:
engagements inseparable from his, high position,
had placed hiniself in the first ratik of edneated
minds, an,d .had. set a brilliant-example alike to, his_
own Children T--by whom it was to be hoped . it
would be "emulittpd—and to all who came within
the sphere of his influence. -

The CHAIRMAN then rose • and said—The, toast I
have, now to propose -is " Prosperity, to 4the Royal
Literary Fund," and' although I am loath to speak
'of myself I cannot introduce this toast without
apology. It is a toast which ought not to be sub-
mitted to you without remarks which would em-
brace resulti of careful thought and Preparation,
because they are no ordinary topics Which are nig=
gested by an occasion.like the anniversary of this
very peculiar institution. I need hardly tell you,
however, my lords and gentlemen, that the circum-
stances in which I myself stand at the 'present
moment are. not favourable to those tranquil medi-
tations—(cheera and laughter)--?rwitliout which I
should have failed to discharge my 'duty in a be-
coming mannerybut with" the aid of .whieh-L might
have hoped to,perforM it at least in such .a manner
as to show that I was not insensible •to the rave&
done me in requesting me-to-preside on this'oedOsion.

(Cheers and laughtet.) Under-these circumstaneet
I should, perhaps, have consulted poly interests; if
had'requested our friend the secretary to dispense
with 'my attCidance---,(6ries 'of Nei")=-in'iconside-
ration of the poverty of my resources ; odifl had
sought that 'obscurity, in reference, to you, for which,
alone I simreally qualified: But it is not in accord-
ance with,thelhiglish=character' to ruti-aviik, and
I could not prevail on rayselfto forget the occasion]

have again, and Igain exhausted almost all, that gan
be said in commendinginstitiltioriAo your
warm support. Yen are yourselves thoroitghly,eini-
versant with its character, and the-few. words that
I shall add cannot, I am sure, do Mpro,than,testify
to the interest which I feet idiots prbspel'ity and
progress.. It is not, of .course, for me. to refer to-
arguments and controversies' .such as must necesz
sarily prevail, from time to time, in a country of
free discussion, with respeCt 'to the 'details and ma-='
nagement of institutions:like this; lint I rejoice tO
say that even those arguments and-controversies,
though they may have'retarded.tlie iroressOt the
institution, have not sufficed' to reverse it,° and imay
perhaps 'even venture to . say that they have not
sensibly retarded it. This institution, like other
things great and good, was born and nurtured amid
adversity; but 'it has steadily advanced, and in its
advande it has been favoured by the combined
efforts ofthose who are possessed of the most, abun-
dant means and 'the highest station and of those
who have to testify their good-will from slender re-
sources. I belitve I am justified in saying that iris
an institution which advances from year to year—
almost from day to day. It may not yet be able to
cover the "whole field which is open to its benevo-
lent enterprise, but it is enabled to-cover a large
and a continually increasing portion of that field ;
and I trust that Meetings such as thii, to whatever
criticism they maybe open, will at least have the
effect of warming our hearts towards one another
with respect to the purpose of the Literary Fund;
and of encouraging us in that which is undoubtedly
a work of true humanity, of true philanthropy, and
of the truest wisdom. (Cheers.) Standing as Ido
in the presence of at least ono highly distinguished
foreigner, you wi11,.1 am sure, permit me to say that
I dwell with great satisfaction on what I may call
the world-embracing character of this institution.
(Cheers.) There is something in the character of
letters which,- although it does not refuse the im-
press of nationality, but, on the contrary, affords
one of the best, the most interesting, the most effec-
tive, and the most innocent channels for the con-
veyance of national feeling, yet declines to admit
nationality as a fetter and a bond—(cheers)—which
unites the brethren of the republic of letters, that
brotherhood being as broad as our common flesh
and blood ; and you enjoy a distinction as sound
in principle as it is remarkable in practice by ex-
tending to the citizens of foreign countries that
relief which your own fellow-countrymen claim at
your harids only by virtue of the double character
of literary merit and innocent want and necessity.
By this institution we acknowledge in some degree
the debt'we owe to foreign eonntries=the debt we
owe to Italy, the mother Of the modern.literature
of Europe—(cheers)—the debt we owe to the lucid
minds of France—the debt we owe to the profound
arid laborious students of Germany. (Cheers.) Yon
cannot by pecuniary grants to necessitous men
acquit yourselves of that debt, for every obligation
that addresses itself to, the minds of men is in the
very nature of things incapable of being paid off by
money; but although you cannot discharge the
debt, you acknowledge it, and an acknowledgment
of such debts is all the tribute that justice either
requires Or can receive. Well, now, with respect
to the operation of the fund,
,I look upon it from
without, but I rejoice to tink how well it is
adapted tOthe exigencies it is intended to meet..
How peculiar are the wants of the class you attempt
to relieve, and how well adjusted is yotir machinery
for the purpose of encountering the necessities of
case ! Cast your eyes. where you will over the
world, and everywhere you are met by evidence of
that law of inequality in the state of man which
provokes some into murmurings and fretfulness,
and which affords to others a school of Christian
discipline and:of. pious resignation. _ That law of
inequality, ordained as it has been by Providence
for the. purpose of training mankind for an
ultimate state of perfection, is, nevertheless, a
law which it is, the business of charity and
love to control, to counteract, and to limit in its
working. You attempt to control that law and
to correct flip severity of its pressure in the very
case where the need is greatest. (Cheers.) I may,
indeed, couple with the profession of literatur'e
those who belong to a sister mean the
calling of the fine arts—for there is little that .an
be said with respect to the ' essential-condition, of
the pursuits of one cliSs which is not equally ap-
plicable to that of the other This principley, at all
events, is applicable to both--that the followers of
those elevated pursuits, they
in proportion as
follow them with an enthusiastic devotion, which
is alone the parent of things really great, become
in many cases leSs capable than they would other-
wise be Of bending down thiir minds to the ordi-
nary course of life. It frequently- happens; there-
fore, that one belonging to this brotherhood will
come innocently into distress, where in the case of
a man not Connected with these peculiar pursuits it
might fairly have been expected that -he would not
have become dependent on the benevolence of
others. Together :with. this circumstance rendering
' theiii'kets capableofsustaining ordinary human cat*.
there is, as we have all seen, a peculiar susceptibi-
