SOCIETY OF ARTS.

It is with very great pleasure that we learn that active exer-
tions are being made to revive this most useful Society, to re-
store it to prosper.ty, and to enable it again to resume that
rank amongst the scientific institaticris of the country, which
it had for so many years deservedly held. There is cer-
tainly no scientific
.Society in existence which has done so
much to advance the interests of the country as the Society of
Arts, and it has therefore been matter of deep regret to all who
have seen the gradual decline of this Society during the last
few years. It in fact arrived at that point which render: dit
probable that in a few months it would cease to exist, and it
was evident that nothing but the most strenuous exertions on
the part its best friends could save the Society from ruin.
By the resolutions proposed and carried at the meeting of last
Wednesday, it is evident that there are those yet attached to
the Society who are willing and able to save it ; and we look
forward with much interest to the result of their labours.
1 here is, perhaps, nothing that has done more harm to the
Society than the manner in which the Wednesday evening
meetings have been managed, or rather mismanaged ; in place
of scientific and instructive discussion on new and useful in-
ventions, nothing has been heard but idle and absurd wrang-
ling and personal disputes; in consequence, those whose pre-
sence was most to be desired retired from the Society in dis-
gust, or ceased to attend its meetings. One of the measures
brought forward last Wednesday was the appointment of a
Committee to superintend and arrange these meetings, to pro-
vide
new and interesting matter, to invite the attendance of
inventors, to encourage scientific discussion, and to put a stop
to idle talk and personal remarks. If this is carried out, and
we feel sure it will be warmly supported by the members of the
Society, if the members of this Committee will regularly at-
tend, and exert themselves in the work they undertake, it will
go far to raise the sinking name and failing funds of the So-
ciety. The other resolutions proposed and carried on Wednes-
day were likewise for the most part very good, and highly cre-
ditable to the members who brought them forward.

UPROARIOUS MEETING.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT. )
CDA NDOS-STREET, FEB. 25. There was a large meeting
on Wednesday, Feb. 23, at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, of
the rate-payers of St. James, Westminster, to take into con-
sideration the subject of a Repeal of the Corn-laws, the pro-
ceedings of which have not appeared in your paper, nor of any
other that I have seen. I have merely to say that there was
a large number of Tories, Whigs, Radicals, Chartists, &c.,
combined—there was a Churchwarden or Churchwardens—
there was General Evans, who was greeted welcomelv—there
was also Captain lious, one of the Representaiives of West-
minster, whose voice was inaudible the whole time, from the I
noise which assailed him respecting his late classic and Parlia-
mentary speech of " A suck at -the pump," &e. The noise
continued the whole time. Captain Rous desisted, Colonel
Evans followed.
Resolutions were moved, amendments were made, and while
I was there (an hour) the uproar that prevailed prevented any
person at a distance from the platform from understanding
what was said; hands were held up for anything and every-
thing; many, after they had held up their hands, asked the
persons neartst them what was the resolution or amendment put.
The confusion and uproar continuing, without any chance of
subsiding, I left.

THE MARKETS.—(YESTERDAY.)
CORN MARKET.
The arrivals of Wheat were small, but of Barley and Oats
good. The Wheat trade remained, as on iMonday, with some
transactions in foreign. Barley continues very dull. Oats
found a very indifferent trade, and did not maintain Monday's
prices. Ibe Flour trade as last stated.
SMITHFIELD.
Of Cattle the supply was but moderate, with a heavy trade.
Of Sheep the supply was short, with a brisk demand ; the best
Downs making ss. per stone. Of Calves the supply was fair,
with a pretty good trade. Of Pigs there was short supply, and
a brisk trade. Head of Cattle at Market : —Beast, 643;
Sheep, 1600 ; Pigs, 287; Calves, 115. Prices .—Beef, 35.4 d.
to ,4s. 6d. ; Mutton, 4s. to 5, ; Veal, ss. to 6s. 2d. • Poik,
to ss. 2d. The retail trade was better, and the demand for
meat equal to the supply.
COLONIAL MARKET.
The market was in a dull state for produce generally, and
there was little prospect that any improvement would take
place; prices, however, kept firm for all the leading articles.
The imports were to a fair extent.

TEA MARKET
The Market was inactive, hut holders were firm, and ob-
tained full rates for all sorts. Company's Congou ls. 104 d

cash. The public sales declared were large. The deliveries
keep good.

TALLOW MARKET.
The demand was good for Russian Tallow on the ap)t at
48s. 3,1. per cwt., and 495. 3d. fordelivery. South American
