ST. ANN'S SOClETY.—Yesterday the half-yearly
general court of the members of the above society was held at the
London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving
a report of the proceedings of the committee and electing twelve
children into the asylum. Alderman Johnson was in the chair.
The report stated that the institution is in a high state of pros.
perity, and notwithstanding the necessarily large expenditure, the
committee had been enable* during the past year to add the sum
of 1,5501. to its permanent funds. The Duke of Cleveland will
preside at the next anniversary festivaL The report having been
unanimously adopted, the following resolution was passed :
" That, in addition to the children elected by ballot at each half.
yearly election, the child who shall have polled the largest num.
ber of votes during the time that he or she has been a candidate,
shall also be admitted into the Brixton Asylum, provided that he
or she shall have polled upwards of two thousand votes during
that period." The election then commenced, there being one
hundred and two candidates, and at four o'clock, an hour after the
closing of the ballot boxes, the names of the twelve highest on the
poll were read. After voting thanks to the chairman, the meeting
separated.
TROTTING MATCH FOR 40/.—Yesterday the match
between Mr. James's horse Paddy and Mr. M'Clue's mare, to trot
in harness over twelve miles of road, came off on two miles of
measured road at Penge, near Dulwich. The usual and necessary
preliminaries being adjusted, the race was commenced, and the
first mile accomplished in 3 minutes and 3$ seconds, and the
second mile turned in 7 minutes and 19 seconds; and at the com-
pletion of four miles, which occupied 14 minutes and 41 seconds,
the mare had an advantage. They were pulled in and rubbed
down, and resumed the match, and concluded four miles more in
15 minutes and 26 seconds. They were again pulled up and re-
freshed, and appearod rather distressed, the road being exceeedingly
heavy, and the race became one of strength rather than one of
speed. They again started, and on the approach of the tenth mile
the driver of the mare deemed it necessary to relinquish the race,
and the horse was driven in the winner, accomplishing the twelve
miles of road in 48 minutes and 45 seconds.

ST. STEPHEN'S ON A QUICKSAND.—It seems that
the new Houses of Parliament are built on a quicksand, which, say
the account, " has a tendency to change places and shift itself.'
Considering how often the Members shifted and changed places last
session, on the very same questions, we do not think a better founda-
tion could have been selected for them to deliberate upon. Hence-
forth our legislators will be able to shift on the best of grounds. It
would read rather strangely, though, if the evening papers ended
their Parliamentary report, some stormy afternoon, with an intima-
tion that the House was " left shifting," for the quicksand might shift
the House, little by little, right into the middle of the Thames. But
we have one consolation—as Mr. Pattison is hi the House, it will re-
quire no small power to move it.—Punch.
FORTH v. LAWSON.—Our readers will recollect
that, in the course of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's speech for the plaintiff
In this case, the Learned Sergeant made some rather severe remarks
upon the conduct of Mr. Clive, the magistrate at Wandsworth Police-
office. Two or three days ago, however, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd took
an opportunity, when there was no immediate business before the
Court, to say dint he would, with his Lordship's permission, advert to
a matter which had arisen on Saturday last, in the case of " Forth v.
Lawson." He had, in commenting on the proceedings before Mr.
Clive, made remarks on the conduct of that gentleman which had
been wholly unpremeditated, and were excited by the feelings of the
moment, and which he felt to be unjust, and therefore was anxious to
withdraw. As Mr. Clive had been a respected member of his own
circuit, he felt the more anxious to withdraw remarks which were
inconsistent with the esteem us which he had always held that gen-
tleman.—Times.
ACCIDENT TO MoNs. F. LEMAITRE.—This eminent
actor, while en route from Paris to London to fulfil his engagement
at the St. James's Theatre, where he is announced to appear on
Monday next, met with an accident from which his escape with life
was most miraculous and providential. When about a league from
Boulougue the horses of the carriage in which he was travelling took
flight, when descending a precipitous hill from the negligence of the
postilion the carriage was overturned with tremendous violence, and
one of the horses killed on the spot, but fortunately M. F. Lemaitre,
with the exception of being severely cut and bruised, escaped without
any serious injury. Since his arrival in London, M. Lemaitre lies
been attended by Dr. Willey, through whose judicious treatment there
is no doubt he will be enabled to fulfil his engagement.
MARSEILLES, - FEB. B.—Yesterday morning, at
half-past ten, Sir Wm. Follett entered this port on board the steamer
Alecto, from Naples. Sir William, on his passage, experienced most
rough weather, so much so that it was at one time expected the
Alecto would be obliged to run into Toulon. During his stay in the
Bay of Naples, the Alecto ran aground and lost all her boats. She
leaves in a day or two fur England to be paid off, having been five
years on the Mediterranean station. Such has been the violence of
the north-west winds for the last fortnight, that upwards of 200 ves-
sels have been obliged to seek shelter in the ports of Sardinia.
Mr. J. M. Balfour, M.P., and Lady Blanche Bal-
four are at Whittingham House, near Dunbar, staying on a visit to
Mr. and Lady Eleanor Balfour. It is entirely owing to the father of
the Hon. Member remaining so unwell that he has not come to town
to attend to his Parliamentary duties.
We stated, yesterday, in referring to the legal ap-
potniments of the Government, that it was generally believed that
Mr. Baron Gurney had obtained a promise, that upon ha resigning
Ws son should obtain a silk gown. We are assured that there is ao
fbutidation for lath a mom Morning Paler'.
