• BILLS OF HEALTH AT LISBON.
Extract of it'le t ter received at Lloyd's :—" The Health
Officers at Belem have become—more particular than
ever, putting vessels in quarantine for the most trifling
affair. Masters of vessels should be particular to see
and have their Bills of Health in order, not to have more
or less hands on board- than specified in the Bills of
Health, and in case or 'Rutting into any port in the
Channel, have their bills signed by the Portuguese or
any other Consul of that places and in case of no foreign.
Consul, by the Justice of the-Peace or Custom-house
officers." ' -
First vessel from Cineinnatti. The Muskingrain,
WellF, arrived at. Liverpool on the 15th inst. from Cin-
cinnatti (Ohio) and New Orleans is the fiist vessel from
the former place. She was built and loaded 1,535 milei
above the month of the Mississippi.

THE GREAT RUNNiNG---.—.AFA-:---I,cil.AT SLOUGH.
The exciting match for a pedestrian to run 20 miles within
two hours was determined yesterday. The match was made by
a military gentleman betting Mr. Bragg, the proprietor of
the Starilotel, at Slough, 200/. to 100/. that the latter could
not produce a man to run 20 miles in two hours. Several
pedestrians were put into training and had trials of the feat,
when Maxfield, the North Star was selected for the match.
The greatest interest has prevailed in the *Siting world as
to the result of this undertaking, and Et vast sum of money
was pending the issue. 'Maxfield hasfrequently distinguished
himself as one of the most superior runners, for a long dis-
tance, of the present day. In a late match between Jackson,
the American Deer, and Sheppard, of Birmingham, upwards
of 11 miles was accomplished in one hour, but the completion
of 20 miles in two hours is unprecedented in the records of
pedestrianism. At an early hour a multitude of spectators
assembled near the Star Inn, and Maxfield presenting himself,
started for the herculean task. He performed the first mile
in 514 minutes, and completed 10 miles under the hour. He
was refreshed at intervals, and kept on at a steady pace, and
ultimately succeeded in running in a winner.
EMIGRATION. Thursday afternoon, about ore
o'clock, six of the Piccadilly omnibuses drove into the West
India Docks, with about 120, healthy and active-looking
agricultural labourers, the greater number of them being
from Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. The men, toge-
ther with their wives and families, have entered into a con-
tract to work on the estate of Mr. J. Burgess, in the island
of St. Kitt's, but the terms of the agreement did not tran-
spire. The emigrants appeared to be in good health and
spirits, and were evidently actuated by much higher hopes
than the prospects at home held out to them. They will sail
at high water to- morrow, in the barque Benjamin Greene.
CHEAP RAILWAY TRAVELLING.—An instance,
not unamusing of the facilities afforded by the cheapness of
railway excursions at holiday times, came under our notice
this week. A person in a retail line of business was in the
habit of availing herself on every Whit-Monday, on the ces-
sation of custom, by having her shop whitelimed and the
chimney swept. This year neither could be done. The
master-sweep informed her that his apprentice was going on
an excursion to Cheltenham, and the plasterer's journeyman
was off to Gloucester l—Bristol Gazette.

ROYAL ORTHOPIGLDIC INSTITU-

TION.

The sixth anniversary festival of the Royal Ortho-
pcedic Institution for the cure of Club Foot, and other
Contractions, took place last evening, at the London
Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. His R,,yal Highnt-ss the
Duke of Cambridge in the Chair. - -
At six o'clock his nuyal Highness (the President of
the Institution) arrived, and about 200 gentlemen sat
down to dinner, consisting of all the delicacies of the
season, which was put on the table in the usual excellent
style of the London _Cavern. 'There was also a plenti-
ful supply of wines of the choicest vintages. Port,
sherry, bucellas, hock, and champagne *ere in abun-
dance.

After the cloth had been withdrawn, and the usual
loyal and national toasts had been drunk,
Lord ABINGER proposed the health of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, President of the In-
stitution, which was drunk with three times three
and-one-cheer more.
The Duke of CAItIBRIDGE returned his sincerest
thanks to the company assembled for the enthusia.tic
manner in which they had drunk his health.. He con-
sidered the institution, the establishment of which they
were met to celebrate,_ as a most interesting one, and
he was mosi-, happy in being enabled to take
the chair on the present oceasi n.—(Loud cheers.)
The subject of' the cure of these diseases had engaged
his attention at the time that he was Viceroy of Han-
over. Hitherto there- had been only. few means of 'cur-
ing these dwOrmities but this establishment had been
founded for the purpose of enlarging those means. The
means of cure had been enlarged by the studies of the
medical officers of this establishment—(Cheers)--and
he had no doubt but that the institution would increase
in prosperity and usefulness. The intelligent gentleman
who was the active medical officer of the institution, had
discovered means for the cure of those unhappy persons
who were labouring under tho edetormities, the remedy
of which was the peculiar object of the Institution.
and upwards-of 3,000 unfortunate persona had benefited
by his exertions since the fourdation of the Institution.
—(Dear, hear.) But there was much more yet to be
accomplished,"and he trusted that, -by their liberality
that evening, they would greatly extend the usefulness
of the Institution:--:(Lond cheers.)- He had to apo-
logise for leaving thein at that early hour, but, as
he had an appointment elswhere at half after-nine, he
trusted they would excuse him.---(Loud cheers.)
Glee---" Star of Brunswick," sung by Messrs. Hobbs,
Hawkins, and Hatton:

At the conclusion of the glee his Royal Highness left
the chair,, which was taken by Lord Abinger, amidst
loud cheering.
The CHAIRMA.N, in proposing "Success to the Ortho-
pcedic Institution," said that his attention had been first
drawn to the Institution, from the fact of a member of
his own family having suffered from that de-
formity, for the cure of which this Institution was
founded. He hail been induced, on that occasion,
to apply to Mr. Tamplin, the surgeon -of the institution,
who had performed an operation on his (Lord. Abin•-
ger's) relative nhich had been completely successful, had
entirely removed the deformity, and had restored his re-
lative to perfect health. His Lordship then minutely de-
scribed the operation which had been performed, and
passed a high eulogium upon Mr. Tamplin, which was
loudly cheered by the company.
The toast of the medical officers was then 'drunk, in
returning thanks for which,
Mr. TAMPLIN, the surgeon to the institution, gave an
interesting account of the means by which he had been led
to the discovery of theoperation forthe cure of this defor-
mity. The institution had only been in existence six
years, and they already enjoyed royal patronage, and had
that day had the honour of being presided over by a
Royal Chairman. From this he argued great prosperity
to the institution, and he could assure them that no efforts
should be wanting on his part to secure that success.
The subscriptions announced during_ the course of the
evening amounted to upwards of 1,000/.
The musical arrangements weremnder the direction of
Mr. Hobbs, and during the course of the evening several
popular airs, duets, and glees were sung in excellent
style by Master Sullivan and Stevens, and Messrs. Hobbs,
Hawkins, and J. L. Hutton. The band of Fusilier
Guards was in attendance, and during the dinner per-
formed several popular airs.
The galleries were filled by ladies who seemed to take
a great interest in the proceedings.

SOCIETY. OF FRIENDS OF
FOREIGNERS IN DISTRESS.

The annual festival of the Society of Friends of. Foreigner
in Distress took place on Thursday at the London Tavern.
The Duke -of Cambridge presided. His Royal Highness was
supported.by the Prussian, Spanish, and Hanoverian 'Minis
ters, and about 220 Of the most eminent merchants and
citizens of London. The cloth being removed, Non Nobis
was chanted by Messrs. Cooke, Francis, Machin, Sze. Her
Majesty the Queen, and'other loyal toasts; followed in suc-
cession. The Prussian Ambassador, the Chevalier Bunsen,
concluded a speech -of considerable force and elegance,•by
proposing the health of the Royal Chairman, which being
responded to with unbounded cordiality, his-Royal Highness
acknowledged the complinient, and stated thehen efits conferred-
by the Society upon the-objects of. itabutinty dining the past
year. They had hadsiventy pensioners, besides vit ich Seven ty-
three persons had received small regular allowances, and 102
persons had been assisted with the means of returning to
their own countries. Casual relief had been 'given in 2,29
instances; among which there were 236 new cases. Yet still
such 'Kea-the mass and depth of misery which the metropolis
contained, that comparatively few of the really deserving
objects of their, bounty received relief.—(Hear,. hear.) In
the course of the evening David Salumens,Esq., with the
permission of the chair, prnpOed The "Senate and City of
Hambnigh," and in dAille so took occasion to compliment
that body for their cordial. response to the call of the vener-
able Mr. Brandt; who had been first and foremost in pressing
the clainii of the unfortunate who had suffered from the me-
lancholy disaster which had befallen" Hamburgh two years
ago, upon the citizens of this. metropolis.
- The toast•wes-drunk with great cordiality of feeling.
The: ." Health of the Foreign- Ambassadors," and also that
of "The Vice-Presidents," was drunk, and acknowledged by
the, Chevalier BUNSEN, who took occasion to deprecate the
finding of, any of the; munificent donations of the foreign
sovereigns,. as indicating a want of confidence in the benefi-
cence- and charity of the succeeding years. His Excellency
- also allUded to the- new
.German Hospital proposed to be
founded very soon by numerous benevolent individuals, in•
which the Queen Prince Albert, the King of Prussia, and
the Duke orCambridge, took -peculiar interest; with a view
'to disabuse the minds of those present .of the idea that it
would iniure that institution. On the contrary, he declared,
and was 'followed by the Royal Chairman, that one spring of
charity was the source of another.—(Hear.)
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE handsomely proposed the health
of Mr. Adolphus-Brandt, one of the stewards, who had col-
lected from his friends in all parts of the world the munifi-
cent sum of 1,3001.

Mr. BRANDT returned thanks with much feeling
The liberality of the company was not exceeded, we be-
lieve, in any former year. The sum total of subscriptions
announced, including 100 guineas from her Majesty, amounted
to 2,5851.
