GUILDHALL, JUNE 24. Henry F. RichardsHn,
was this day unanimously elected one of the Audi
tors of the Accounts of the City of London.
, PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSES.—On Monday the fourth
anniversary meeting of the subscribers to the fund for erecting
Almshouses for the reception of aged and infirm printers, was held
in the Theatre of the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton-build-
ings, Chancery-lane. Luke James Hansard, Esq., was unani.
mously voted to the chair; and after addressing the meeting,
called on the Secretary to read the report of the Committee. It
appeared that the affairs of the institution were in a satisfactory
state, and that the object the Committee wished to see accom-
plished would at so distant day be realized. It was urged as an
objection to the fund, that it traded to impair the parent Associa-
tion, the Printers' Pension Society, but the Committee considered
that objection groundless, the receipts of the latter being greatly in-
creased during the List f,tur years. In order to obtain a larger
amount of interest for the funded property, and to guard against
any contingencies that might occur, it hail been deemed advisable
to enrol th. it,ti!uti4ioo, lie amount 0?..
since the 1 ist annual meeting was 3551., making, with the sum
previously in hard, a total of 1,4651. The announcement made
in the report that Luke James Hansard, Esq , had presented 501.,
Mr. Clowes 211., and that many of the large printing-offices had
subscribed liberally, was received with much applause. On the
motion of Mr. Lee the report was adopted ; after which several
resolutions were passed, one of which was to memorialize the Sta.
tioners' Company for a grant of money. The meeting then voted
thanks to the Chairman and broke up.
SALE OF THE NAP,)LEON MUSEUM.—On Monday
the sale of the first portion of the collection known as the Napoleon
Musem, was commenced by Messrs. Christie and Manson, at the
Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly. Mr. Christie, the auctioneer, said that
although Mr. Sainsbury had expended literally a fortune in getting
this important and interesting collection together, there was no
reservation. The sale of this portion will last four days. Yester-
day the number of lots disposed of was 112, but the prices they
fetched were about one-fourth their real value. Among the bronzes
an infantine bust of the King of Rome, by Jeannett, formerly
in the possession of Josephine at Malrnaison, for which Mr.
Sainsbury gave twenty guineas, was knocked down for 11. 10s.
The original eagle belonging to the Imperial Guard, and used at
the Adieu de Fontainebleau, 31. 17s. This was oleo bought at
Mr. Hamlet's sale at a cast of 15 guineas. A silver plate with
the Imperial arms on the border, used by Napoleon at St. Helena,
and brought from there by Count de las Cases, 31 In addition
to the above, there were sold 20 beautiful enamels by Lienard,
of Napoleon, Marshal Ney, Berthier, Junot, Joseph Buonaparte
Lucien, Louis, and Jerome Buonaparte, Murat, Caroline, youngest
sister of Napoleon, Cardinal Pesch, Marie Louise, &c., which
cost Mr. Sainsbury 400 guineas, the amount they realised being
but 761 Among the orders sold, one of the Order of the Iron
Crovn of Italy, presented by Napoleon to Marshal Ney, sold
for 21. 4s.

At' t Ye'. Court of Bankruptcy on 'Mona ay, the case of
an insolvent of the name of Lane was heard before Mr. Commis-
sioner Shepherd. Be had contracted debts to about 2,0001. His
wife, having an income of 8001. per annum, an offer was made to
pay 175/. a year, which was acceded to by all the creditors except
one, of the name of Bailey, on whose behalf it was urged that he
contracted debts without reasonable expectation of paying them,
and after their contraction had accepted accommodation bills. The
Court, however, granted the final order upon the terms proposed.
C 1111,DR FN S 11Y tlt PARI-iNTri FOR ‘‘ ANT
or FOOD.—The Buda.Prsii Herald°, a Hungarian paper, states
that the emigrants travelling through Peath from the Upper Coml_
tale, where famine prevails to a great extent, have there established
a regular slave market. Girls (their own children) are sold at the
age of from eight to nine for five florins (Bs. 6d.1)„ and boys of
the same agc from 10 to 20 kreutserr. A person offered three
zwanziger for one boy, and while the parents were rejoicing at
getting so good a price, the poor little fcliow clasped his mother's
knees, and implored her not to send him away, and saying he
would n it ask her for bread again, if she would only keep tom.
The bitterest circumstance hi these sales is, that the parents never
know even the nausea of the Purchasers of their childrao.—Augs-
burgh Gamete.

WILSON'S SCOTTISH EN TER-

TAINMENTS.—JACOBITE
On Monday evening, at the Music Hall, Store-street,
Mr. Wilson repeated this, the most popular aad stirring
of all his entertainments, illustrative of that eventful
period of the history of Scotland during which the ad-
herents of the ill-fated horse of Stuart endeavuured to
re-establish the power and authority of that fillet.
dynasty. Mr. MI-on was in excellent voice, and sung
the several songs with great feeling: and animation,
calting forth repeated bursts of applause, and several
encores, among which were, " Cam ye by Atholl,"
"Johnnie Cope," " There were twa bonny Maidens,"and
" Allister McAllister." What added to the eff .et of tilt.
entertainment on this occasion, and in excellent keeping
with the object in view—the representation, through the
medium of song. of high courage, resolution, and
devoted attachment of th,-, people of So-yland to the
cause of the House of Stuart—was the attend:tnee of
the boys of the Caledonian Asylum, in full Highland
costume, who excited general admiration f•r the striking
and picturesque illustration they afii)rded of " Garb
of old Gaul," and of the time when the " Heather was
on fire," and the mountain glens ,u the far north poured
forth their dev,.ted thousands to rally round the -tandard
of the "Young Che=aper." Mr. Wilson, we perceive,
is t.l repeat the " Adventures of Prince Charles" on
Monday next.

THEY LED HER FROM THE COTT4GE
HOME. Words by Miss Cushman. Music by Mr.
H. J. St. Leger.
A song from the pen of the greatest living tragic
actress is a literary curiosity. This exquisite little
lyric proves that Mi-s Cushman's poetical powers are of
a very high order. The sentiment is very beautiful, and
has been beautifully expressed by Mr. St. Leger in the
tasteful melody to which he has adapted words.

THE NEW REDO WA POLKA, as danced at the
Princess's Theatre by Mr. and Miss Marshall.
composed by Carlo Minasi.
This is one of the most agreeable of the many Polkas
with which we have of late been inundated, and, unlike
many of its rivals, its merits will probably cause it to
outlive the present Polkamania. We hope frequently
to meet Signor Minasi as a composer.
