LEA and PERRINS' WORCESTERSHIRE
SAUCE Is pronounced by connoisseurs to be "the only
good sance" for enriching gravies, or as a zest for fish, curries, coups,
game, steaks, cold meat, &c.; and its rapidly increasing sale has
induced the Proprietors to open a warehouse In London. The very.
general and deoved approbation bestowed on this sauce having
encouraged imitations, the Proprietors have adopted Betts's metallic
capsules, on which Ara embossed the words "Lea and Perrin'
Worcestershire Sauce," as a means of protection. Sold, wholesale,
retail, and for exportation, by the proprietors, Vere street, Oxford-
street ; Crosse and Blackwell, Soho-square ; Barclay and Sons,
Farringdon-street ; Metcalfe and Co., Southampton-row ; and by
vendors of sauces generally.

And let them not go to a Whitsuntide fair-
Till they have made a " fair" purchase of articles rare.

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under
a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff, I accordingly procured one of your
40. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it sluee.—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, W. 11. ADAMS.
To Mr. W. Grimstone.
Any quantity of Eye Snuff can he forwarded through the General
Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with directions,

THE LITERARY FUND.
Wednesday the 56th anniversary of the Literary Fund
was celebrated by a public_ dinner in the Freemasons'
Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn fields. The
Right Hon. the Earl of Ellenborough officiated as chair-
man, and was supported on the right by the Archbishop
of Dublin, Chevalier Bunsen, Lord Colchester, Lord
Mahon, Major-General Pasley, and Mr. James, and on
the left by Lord Brougham, Mr. Murchison, Mr. M.
Milnes, Sir- H. Ellis, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, the Rev.
Dr. Russell, Mr. Wa'Aer, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, Ste;
The company, which comprised some of the leading
literary characters of the day, numbered about 100.
The cloth having been removed, Non nobis was chanted
by Messrs. Hobbs, Francis, Chapman, and Hatton.
The Noble CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the first
toast, intimated that her. Majesty had been graciously
pleased to permit the royal crown to be borne on the
arms of the Literary Fund Society ; and it was stated
in the communication of this her Majesty's 'gracious
favour towards the society, that her Majesty and Prince
Albert entertained the most lively interest in its welfare.
—(Loud cheers.) He had now -to propose that they
should drink her Majesty's health, and he was sure
they would do so, not merely giving a cold expression
of their bounden duty as subjects, but an expression
coming from the heart, knowing, as they did, that her
Majesty illustrOted her great station by the high qualities
alio brought to the performance of her public.duty.—
-(Cheers ) Indeed, in whatever station she might have
been borri—hawever low—she would have illustrated
that station by the highest points of domestic virtue
He gave her Majesty's health, which was drunk with all
the honours.
The CHAIRMAN next gave " The health of her Ma-
iesty the Queen Dowager, the respected consort -of the
Late Sovereign ; of Prince Albert, the chosen and
beloved consort of our excellent Queen ; the Prince of
Wales and the rest of the Royal Faniily ;" which was
drunk with three times three.
The CHAIRMAN next called upon the company to
drink to the health of the Archbishop of Dublin, who
was not only one of the first dignitaries and luminaries
of the Church, but himself a man most distinguished in
literature, who had devoted for a series of years the
tenth of the produce of all his literary works to. the ser-
vice of that society.—(Loud cheers.) He asked them to
combine with his name that Church of which he was an
ornament, in which at all times there were found men of
the most distinguished learning and literature, and that
which was above all other advantages, the first of Chris-
tian virtues—charity..—(Loud cheers.)
The Archbishop of DUBLIN acknowledged the com-
pliment in a long and able speech, advocating the diffu-
sion of knowledge, and the cultivation of human intellect
—a cause in which the clergy, as servants of Him who
said " Let there be light," contributed to the full extent
of their scanty means. As the most expedient mode of
bestowing patronage on literature, and one he had inva-
riably adopted himself, he recommended those who had
the power not to encourage persons to enter any field of
literature whose compositions were not likely to be en-
couraged.by the public. His practice had been, when he
found literary men having a 'particular work in view, in
a department in which they were likely to succeed, to
encourage them by guaranteeing them against loss, and
in this way he had found the best results, not only to the
individual, but even to the cause of literature and science.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " the Health of Lord
Colchester, and the Navy,' and " Major-General Pas-
ley, and the Army." Than the former the navy had
not a warmer friend; and he particularly congratulated
the officers of the East India Company on the fact that
they had the advantage of being examined by Major-
General Pasley as to their fitness for the situations they
would be called to fill in India. There was not a more
highly educated body of officers than those whom the
Gallant General was called on to examine.
Lord COLCHESTER and General PASLEY severally re-
turned thanks.

The CHAIRMAN next proposed "Prosperity to the
Literary Fund." It was now, he believed, 21 years
since he became a subscriber to this charity—certainly
not as a literary man, for he could not pretend to lite-
rature. In that society of men of literature and science
he was, in fact, the last to fill the chair—(Cheers)—but he
recognised the vast influence of literature on the happi-
ness of mankind, and to the best of his ability he would
at all times encourage those who, with good characters,
honestly pursued literature as a professional pursuit.—
(Cheers.) He would not attempt to exaggerate the
advantages (f that society. He did not apprehend that
say.man would devo'e himself to literature from the
expectation of deriving assistance from such a fund; nor
did he think it desirable that such should be the case.
It was far better that men should take that line which
their own genius and disposition printed out to them as
that in which they were most likely to succeed. The
great advantage of the Literary Fund always appeared
to him to be this—that in the occasional distresses and
calamities which might overtake almost any man in the
course of his life, the literary man might resort to it,
and at the same time preserve the dignity of his per-
sonal character and independence.—(Cheers.) He valued
literature as highly as any man although he did not
possess it—he valued science as highly as any man—but
he valued independence a character in the man possess-
ing either the one or the other highly too.—(Cheers.)
In conclusion, the Noble Chairman strongly recommended
the interests and objects of the society.

the latter. being authors and six the
widows of authors, amounted to nearly 1,0001. He also
read the new list of contributions, from which it appeared
that the Noble Chairman, in addition to his annual con-
tribution of 10t 10s.. had added a second subscription of
25L—(Cheers)—Lord Brougham, 2.o.—(Cheers)—Che-
valier Bunsen, 5/. ; Lord Mahon, a third donation of
101. 10s.• Sir P. Shelly, 101.; Lord Colchester, 5/. ; Mr.

lot; Mr. B. B. Cabbell, 10/4 Mr. Walter, 10/. ; Mr. J.
Walter,
.jun., 10L, &c.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Cheva-
lier Bunsen, and paid a high compliment to the King of
Prussia, whose representative the Chevalier was in this
country.
The toast was drunk with great applause.
The Chevalier BUNSEN, in acknowledging the toast,
bore testimony to the liberal and generous spirit in which
the Literary Fund conferred its grants, irrespective
alike of party and of country, and instanced the case of
Chateaubriand, who in the day of misfortune, almost un-
known personally in England, which still, however, ap-
preciated his merits and his genius, received that assist-
ance from the funds of this Institution which enabled
him to emerge from embarrassing difficulties.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Mr.
Monckton Milnes, and the Members of both Houses of
Parliament who had favoured the fund with their pre-
sence.—(Cheers.)

Mr. MILNES was glad of the opportunity of extending
his view, even on political subjects, further than the at-
mosphere of the House of Commons. He would
rather, in fact, be among them as a writer than as
a Member of the House. He eulogised the conduct of
the Noble Lord in the chair in presiding over the des-
tinies of India, and looked forward to the distant
futurity when that race of men, different from ourselves,
but growing up under our rule in India, would enjoy
the advantages of a common situation with ourselves.
He was also glad to look to the west, and see not only
" a little cloud," but a great and magnificent empire,
with the same laws, literature, and language, which,
whatever collisions might happen, must be a bond of
sympathy between the two countries. He lamented the
wretched pittance doled out by Parliament to literary
men, and hoped the time was coming when more ample
provision would be made in this matter. He eulogised
the most judicious and kind manner in which Sir Robert
Peel had, in the cases of the sister of Burns and the
late Mr. Thomas Hood, afforded the means in the one in-
stance out of his own funds, and in the other by a pro-
vision for life, and after death fur his widow, secured the
comfort of two most deserving persons. The claims of
literature were becoming every day more generally and
justly appreciated, even when combined with other pur-
suits. No one ever heard that Sergeant Talfourd was
the worse laWyer because he had written poetry. Lord
Brougham was not the less idolised in the Upper House
of Parliament because he had sown broadcast the seeds
of knowledge in almost every field of science and phi-
losophy. Lord Mahon and Mr. Macaulay were not less
able Members of the House of Commons because they had
written history ; nor was Mr. D'lsraeli less attended to
because he wrote such very clever novels.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said—
He really knew not how to propose it, for how could he
attempt to describe the great claims possessed by Lord
Brougham to honour from men of literature and science?
—(Loud cheers.) He was about to propose " The Health
of Lord Brougham and the Writers on Science." But
with what class of writers might he not almost with
equal justice associate his name ? It was not only in
every branch of literature and science that Lord
Brougham had been distinguished ; he had done much
more—he had not only benefited the existing race and
future races by his own writings, but he had done more
for education, more to extend the pleasures derived from
the improvement of the human mind amidst the middle
and even poorer classes of his countrymen, than any
living man.—(Cheers.) Contemporaries

his great abilities and great actions; but he might deride
all those futile attempts to interfere with his right to
eternal fame, which would be acknowledged by all pos-
terity.—(Cheers.) He did not speak in the language of
exaggeration ; he told them that which they all knew
—that be the man of his age whom he might, he would
find it difficult indeed to contend, in the opinion of pos-
terity, with the name of Lord Brougham.—(Cheers.)
Posterity would do justice to his great exertions in the
cause of civil liberty—in the cause of the general happi-
ness and improvement of mankind. .He could not trust
himself with this subject ; but this ho w ould say of his
