CHURCH BELLS.
CHURCH BELLS. Thp hlended voice of morning bells Steals u1' the southern lea Of wedded hearts the tale it tells, And bridal g¡LÎety. Again I hear a pensive peal, The chime of a dying hour; Fit strain methinks it is to steal From a grey sea-side tower, And hark there was a note of woe From the grey tower, that sigh'd; Who hath not hem it, Caint and low, And felt that one hath died But who hath taught his constant heart, From this strange melody, Since joy, aod time. and Criends depart, That life is vanity ? Sharpe's London Magaxtnt. THERE WAS A TIME IN INFANCY. TheTe WM a time in infancy, I well remMllber now, When seated on my mother's knee, with grave and thoughtful brow, I listenro to some tate of heav'n, and spirits far away, Then clasp'd my little hands in hers, and both knelt down to pray! How tenderly she taught my lips to move in accents mild! How Cervently she the hope thllt He would bless her child, When lonely, in a chilling world, his way be should pursue, Without one heart to beat for him, affectionate and true And speaking thlHI, more tremulous, she would my arms entwine, And press her cheek, bedew'd with tears, still closer unto mine! With feelings hallow'd by commune, would fold me to bel breast. And sing some touching melody to lull me to Jay re!!t! Remember ?-aye, that look of love can neyer be effaced. Though seasons long have fleeted since tbe livinr lines I traced; In the viqions of my early àays, that riper years pourtriy, The mother's smile that 1.less'd me then will never pass away I see it when I wander 'midst the crowded walks of life,- It is my star of guidance through tbe shoals of mortal strife; Or, when secluded from the world, my thoughtsue homeward bent, Amidst the fonns that greet me there, an angel ODe is blent When shadows veil the brow of night, mine eyes can tranquil close, While conscious that a wing of love doth sbelter their repose And when in dreamland borne a.way-endearingly and sweet, Amidst the glories cluster'd there that gentle mien I greet. Companion of my solitude! for such I deem thou art, Still, mother, to my pilgrimage thine influence impart; And cheer my spirit with the hope, although its ere be nigh, The smile that brighten'd in decline will herald it on high!

WIT AT A PINCH. A country girl one morning went To market with her pig; The little curl-tail, not content, Squeaked out a merry jig.

CARDIFF MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.
CARDIFF MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. On the evening of Monday last, the fourth annual and general meeting of the members of the Cardiff Mechanics' Institution took place ill the Town-hall. The Lord James Stuart, M.P., in the chair. The weather was most unfavourable, and consequently at the commencement of the proceedings there was but a very thin attendance however, as the evening ad- vanced, and the weather got a little more favourable, a great many of the members, with their friends, arrived, so that the upper part of the hall was completely crowded. His Lordship having taken the chair, called upon the secretaries—Mr. Lowder and Mr. Clinton for the report of the committee, which was read by Mr. Lowder. REPORT OF TUB COMMtTTEB. The last annual report which the committee of the Cardiff Mechanics' Institution presented to their friends expressed a hope that their endeavours to carry out the grand lending object. of the Institute woulll be responded to by a liberality tbat should accord 1\ith the feelings of a generous and enlight- ened public. They regret, however, that their expectations have not been realised; that their prospects of success have only grown darker in their progress; and that but (or the zeal anù kindness of a few of their friends, they had just reasons to withdraw from office, in the fun conviction that nought bul dis- appointment would attend their labours. That an institution like our own, founded ill the en1ightem"1 principles of our better nature, embracing so many facilities of communicating instruction to the humble and working classes of the community, so well adapted to raise and elevate the character of that portion or society which" deprived of the higher advantages of education, and possessing as it does so many inducements for the industrious application of the intel- lect in the study and acquirement of scientific knowledge—that an institution of this nature should be allowed to fail for want of proper !Jupport, is not only surprising, but a reproach on the inhabitants of the town where it has so long struggled for an existence. If the mechanic was alive to his best interests, he would see at once the propriety of contributing his support to an institu- tion suited to hi. means and capacity. Instead of destroying the energies of his mind and darkening his character by a course of dissipation, which unfits him for the discharge of his daily duties-instead of being crushed by the foot of pride, and looked down upon by the worldling, as a creature only meriting his contempt, he would, were h. to cultivate his understanding, stand erect in the lofty consciousness of mind, and basing his claims on the imperishable fabric of his own individual immor- tality, feel that true dignity and real power rest not in the splendours of wealth, or even in the pageantry of name. It is to be hoped, however, that ere long these truths will be duly appreciated, and that the mechanic will see that in supporting his institute, he is studying his own welfare and happiness. With reference to the different classes proposed by your com- mittee at the last annual meeting, for writing. English grammar, music, &c.,these during the past year have met with no encourage- ment the results anticipated by their adoption have not been realised; and the cheering prospect which seemed to open on their introduction has withdrawn its promise of fruitfulness, leaving in its place the barrenness of uncultivated opportunities and the blight of disappointment. It would be gratifying, amid so many discouragements, if there could be traced in your lec- ture department a spirit of inquiry, stimulated onward by the varied and interesting features of discovery, which this mode of instruction is so calculated to inspire. But even here it is to be regretted the effort to arouse attention, and to induce a feeling of emulation, has proved abortive. Eight gratuitous lectures and five paid ones (which were attended with loss) are all that can be numbered for the past year. It was suggested, for the enlargement of the library, that each member of the Institute should offer voluntarily one or more volumes. This suggestion has been kindly adopted by six of the members. It is hoped their generous example will be imi- tated by many more, who by this means will benefit many around them, and at the same time exhibit a spirit highly cre- ditable to themselves and beneficial to others. The committee beg to offer their best thanks to the Right Honorable Lord James Stuart, for his lordship's kindness in presenting them with £5 on his son's majority. They are also grateful to the Rev, J, M. Trabeme, for the philosophical and historical works he has given for the use of the Institute. And the Parliamentary Papers given by Dr. Nicholl are acknowledged with every feeling of the like respect and thankfulness. Your committee also feel called upon to return their best thanks to those gentlemen who have given their lectures to the Institute gratuitously and with painful feelings to refer to the death of one of their late vice-presidents, W. J. Watson, Esq., a gentle- man whose talents and benevolence of heart will long be re- membered by every member of your Institution. In concluding their report, your committee regret that they cannot embody more cheering intelligence nevertheless, they confidently look forward to better times, and are sanguine enough to believe that their Institution will flourish in Cardiff. Average number of members for the past year, 112. being 16 less than the former year. Amount of income. £125 10s. 3,Jd., £6 10s. 7Jd. less than the former year. Expenditure, jE124 13s. 3¿d., leaving a balance in the hands of the treasurer of 17s. Number of books purchased, 35, at the cost of £9 3s. Od. number of books in the library, 228, exclusive of parliamentary books. Average daily attendance at the room, 40. Number of books taken from the library during the year to read, 531. Whitlock Nicholl, Esq., President of the Institution, rose to move the first resolulion-" That the report now read be adopted and together with an abstract of the ac- compts be printed and circulated amongst the members." The proposition was seconded by Mr. Edwards, B.M., and carried unanimously. The Rev. W. Leigh Morgan moved the second resolu- tion—"That the thanks of the members of the Insti. tution be respectfully tendered to Whitlock Nicholl, Esq., their President, for the valuable services rendered by him to the Institution; and that he be requested to continue to fill the same office during the ensuing year." Mr. Morgan having moved the proposition said, that every person who was acquainted with .Mr. Nicholl, must feet that his presidency was of great value to an Institu- tion like this; and he (Mr. Morgan) felt satisfied that every member of the Institution duty appreciated Mr, Nicholl's services he (Mr. Morgan) was sure those services would again be as freely reudered to the society as they were now humbly solicited. (Cheers.) Mr. Horwood seconded the proposition which, on being formally put by his Lordship, was carried unani- mously. Whitlock Nicholl, Esq., rose and said—My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlemen, I was not aware of this resolu- tion if I had been it is probable I should have been prepared, and enabled to offer you a few remarks upon it; as it is, I can only say that I will most gladly do all in my power to further the intentions of those who so ably promote the objects of the Institution. (Cheers.) And that it may flourish long ia my most anxious wish. (Cheers.) In moving the third resolution, Mr. Jno. Batchelor after some preliminary observations, remarked that he* had peculiar pleasure in proposing it for their adoption, inasmuch as the vote of thanks he wished them to give their vice-president was so eminently due to him, and the rev. gentleman whom he had the honour of proposing to the vice-presidentship vacant by the death of Mr. Watson, was so well qualified to fill it. They wanted new blood in their constitution, suoh blood as Mr. Morgan would bring them. He (Mr. B.) hailed Mr. M.'s accession to office as a great acquisition, and hoped much good would be the result. the report just read, they would observe that as an Institution, they occupied not that field of usefulness, nor that elevated position that they ought. The reason of this would be a profitable object of enquiry, were time afforded them. As this could not be, he would suggest that those interested in the success of the Institution should take an early opportunity of thoroughly investigating the matter, in order that such steps may be taken as should place it beyond the perils that now environed it. He said perils, for perilous in- deed was that existence that did not progress. To stand still was but to begin to cease to be. It was the prelude to an ebb that knew of no return. Although their In- stitution was not absolutely standing still, it was but a short remove from it. Mr. B. conjured his audience not to let it come to a period from want of their assistance. To descant upon the evils of ignorance as affecting the individual, and the body politic would be harping upon a broken string. To picture the blessings that knowledge conferred upon mankind, would be presenting them with a duplicate of that which all of them already possessed. To tell them that their duties were to banish the one from, and to secure the other to the world, were but to repeat h twice-told tale. Mr. B. would, therefore, leave these subjects, but would urge upon his audience the necessity of still greater devotion to a cause whose claims upon them were so manifold. A period of great political excitement was at hand, if (said Mr. B.) he mistook not the signs of the times. He beseeched them not to let their neglect of the classes for whom these institutions \vere founded, as evidenced by their neglect of this In- stitution, prove an element in that excitement. For the love of all that was peaceful and kindly, he wished them not to show by their actions their want of interest in the welfare of those classes. Let them pity theirdegrada- tion lift them up with brothers' hands, sympathize with them with a brother's heart. Low they may be addicted to brutal vices they may be these were arguments for their help. Some might perhaps imagine these observations were wide of the mark. They were not so. For if they performed not their duties to their fellows, how could they expect their fellows to perform their duties to themt They might depend upon it, that if they showed sympathy for the condition of those who were below them, if they endeavoured to raise them in the scale of being, and con- tributed to their happiuess, they would find that pne of the sources of popular disorder would be destroyed. Mr. B. would not trespass on his Lordship s attention nor upon the arrangements of the committee with any extension of his remarks, but would conclude with observing that although they were doing but little in their locality there was much doing abroad. Otherinstitutions were prospei- ing. Let them look at them—imitate them and take courage. Although the moral deluge still prevailed around them, the ark of their safety floated upon the waters. Yet a little while and the fountains should be stopped and the clouds dissipated: — lightness and truth would issue forth upon a defe- cated world, to people it with a progeny whose ways should be pleasantness and whose paths peace. He almost thought he felt the fannings of the breeze that was to arise to assuage the waters. In imagination he saw the dove cleaving the humid atmosphere with its noiseless wing in search of that olivebrancli he feared it would not be the privilege of their age to give, but which, oh how sweet it was to reflect, would be afforded by those who came after them. It would be observed, Mr. B. further remarked, that he made no mention of the circumstance alluded to in the resolution—the death of Mr. Watson, that would not be expected of him. His name was his own epitaph. That the thanks of this meeting, and members of the Institute, be tendered to C. Vachell, Esq., vice-president, for his valuable services, and that he be requested to continue the same, and that the Rev. W. L, Morgan be respectfully requested to accept the office of vice-presi- dent, in the room of the late W. J. Watson, Esq." This was seconded by Mr. Solomon Marks, and carried unanimously. Mr. Charles Vachell rose to return thanks. The ser- ncea he had rendered to the institution had been feeble iodeed; in fact, the whole labour of conducting the affairs of the institution rested on the secretaries—Mr I.owder and Mr. Clinton; and but for their extraordinary I zeal—their almost unexampled exertions in its behalf-it wouldlongagohavefailed. (Ilear.) He (Mr. Vachell) would be mean in the extreme if he were to take any credit to himself for labours which had been accomplished by others. The secretaries were the parties who peace- fully and continuously proceeded—surmounting difficul- ties that no one else knew any thing of. (Hear.) Through good and through evil report had they pursued the even tenor of their way; and they had now given the members an instance of success on their parts in this respectable meeting, and in having the noble lord in the chair to pre- side over it. (Hear.) Some observations in the report struck him forcibly. He believed there was an idea gone forth that Mechanics' Institutions were connected with Free Thinking, or Infidelity that their knowledge led them to deny Religion and the truths of Christianity. He (Mr. Vachell) knew that such ideas—such opinions of their institution and its tendencies, had been prevalent; but they had now, in the election of the Rev. W. Leigh Morgan as Vice-Chairman, an irrefragable proof to the contrary. (Loud cheers.) Many clergymen and gentle- men had held back, believing that report in some mea- sure but nothing could be more fallacious, for whoever took the trouble to examine minutely the objects of sci- entific research, would be naturally led to trace every circumstance up to its Great First Cause (hear) and the man who can deny the existence of that great overwhelm- ing power, whose mighty agency can be traced throughout the material world, must be worse than a madman. (Cheers.) It required only a little enquiry to enable any one to perceive that the institution was well calculated to develope the moral and intellectual faculties of man and having the sanction and support of their most honoured and worthy minister—Mr. Morgan—he (Mr. Vachel!) had no doubt the institution would see better days. (Cheers.) The Rev. W. Leigh Morgan felt sincere gratification and great pleasure in accepting the honour of being elected one of the vice-presidents of the institution. As far as his humble endeavours would go, he should always be most happy in rendering any assistance to the institu- tions of this town generally, but more especially to those established with the view of promoting the moral, intel- lectual, and religious improvement of the inhabitants. (Cheers.) Mr. Vachell had spoken of him much too flatteringly. They all knew that knowledge is power the more intellectual, the more moral, and the more reli- gious a man became, the better, in every point of consi- deration. (Hear.) He felt highly flattered by the honour conferred upon him, and would endeavour to discharge the duties of the office :0£ vice-president satis- factorily. (Cheers.) Mr. Vachell begged to move that the thanks of the members of the institution be tendered to Mr. Horwood, for his valuable services as treasurer and that he be requested to continue the same. Every one who knew Mr. Horwood—and he (Mr. Vachell) had that pleasure— could bear testimony to his readiness at all times to be of service. (Hear.) This was seconded by Mr. Coleman, and carried ana- nimously. Mr. Horwood rose and said—My Lord. Ladies, and Gentlemen, I beg to express my thanks to this meeting for the honour done me in again electing me their trea- surer. It will always afford me great happiness to come forward and assist in promoting the objects of any insti- tution that can possibly tend to ameliorate the condition of my fellow men, and raise them to that position in society which humanity has a claim to. (Cheers.) It was moved by Mr. Carver, that the following gen- tlemen be elected the committee, auditors, and secretaries, for the institute for the current year Mr. William Harris, Mr. William Allen, J. T. Barry, Henry Moxley, T. Price, David Davies. James Pride, John Lucas, J. Coleman, James Merchant, J. B. Hopkins, „ Wm. Davies, D. Roberts, Llewellyn Jenkins, W. T. Edwards, Wm. Lewis, J. Batchelor, ..J.B.Stockdate, „ Rhys Lewis, J. F. Burrows, J. E. Williams, Solomon Marks, S. Lowder, Jno. Jenkins, AUDITORS Mr. G. C. Baylis, I Mr. Ed. Davies. SECRETARIES '■ Mr. G. Clinton, J Mr. T. IT. Lowder. The gentlemen who formed the committee were pro- bably better known to the meeting than they were to him (Mr. Carver) he regretted that he was unable to bear his testimony to their worth but had, notwithstan- ding, much pleasure in proposing the resolution. Mr. James Pride having seconded the motion, it was put from the chair and carried unanimously. The business of the meeting having been concluded his lordship left the chair, which was taken by Whitlock Nicholl, Esq. Mr. Vachell then rose, and after an introductory remark which escaped our notice, said that it was deeply to be regretted that the Mechanics' Institution had not been better supported. Man is composed of two natures- the intellectual and the animal. If he suffer the animal nature to prevail over the intellectual, which tended to raise him from his degraded, fallen state;—if he gave way to the animal propensities rather than cultivate the mental powers for whose cultivation this institution has been founded—in proportion as he gave way so would his condition be miserable. (Hear). The members had every element of success with them. Their institution had the patronage of the Most Noble the Marquess of Bute and on this occasion they were honoured by the presidency of his brother-the Lord James Stuart (protracted cheering), who evinced the interest he felt in the prosperity of the working elasses by his attendance this evening (cheers). Mr. Vachell then referred to the habits of certain portions of the working classes of this town which were inimicable to social, moral, intellectual, or religious progress, and called upon the young men of the place to exert themselves in acquiring knowledge -in preparing for their various occupations of life. He concluded a very able speech, which want of space obliges us to curtail, by moving that the thanks of the meeting be given to Lord James Stuart, for his kindness in presiding. (Loud cheers). The Rev. W. Leigh Morgan seconded the resolution, which, on being put by Whitlock Nicholl, Esq., was carried by acclamation. After the cheering had subsided, Lord James Stuart rose to return thanks. His lordship felt that he could but very inadequately express his sentiments upon the present occasion in offering the meeting his most sincere and grateful thanks for the compliment they had been pleased to pay him. He thought too much had been said of his coming there to preside at their meeting: on the contrary, he begged to state that it was to him a matter of great pleasure to attend to the wishes of the secretaries of the Institution and the members that he should pre- side. (Cheers.) The inconvenience was nothing at all; if there had been any, his lordship would gladly have got over it in order to further the objects of the Institution, which he believed to be of rfuch importance to those classes of society for whose benefit it was intended. (Cheers.) His lordship then adverted to the progress made by the Institution; expressed his regret that it had not flourished to a greater degree and said it was his ardent desire to see it well supported. As to the advan- tages which attended its establishment, he felt that he was not nearly so able to discuss them and to give an opinion upon the suhjcct as Mr. Batchelor and other gentlemen who had so ably and eloquently discussed the merits of this and similar institutions. His lordship might, however, be permitted to say, that he concurred almost entirely in the sentiments he had heard expressed. He thought institutions of this sort calculated to effect a great deal of good, and ought to be maintained in all the principal towns of the kingdom. His lordship never heard of the objections referred to by Mr. Vachell; and hoped he (Mr. Vachell) had gone rather too far when he spoke of the charges of impiety, and even of infidelity, which lie said had been brought against the institution. When the worthy and respected incumbent of Saint Mary's parish honoured the institution by accepting the office of Vice- President, if charges of the sort had been made, they could be no longer entertained by any one. (Cheers.) In Mr. Morgan's presence his Lordship could not freely express his opinion of the value of that gentleman's services to the town but he augured very favourably of the society's advancement from the circumstance that lie (Mr. Morgan) had become a member. (Hear.) His Lordship then alluded, in very feeling and graceful terms, to the deputation which the society had appointed to congratulate him in February last, upon the coming of age of his eldest son—thanked the society for that mark of attachment, and concluded by assuring the meeting that if the secretaries would point out to him how he could serve or promote the interests of the society he would most readily and with much pleasure do it. (Great cheering.) [In taking the chair this evening, his Lordship evinced the greatest kindness and good nature, as he had been busily engaged at Bridgend throughout the day upon important county business, and had scarcely arrived at Cardiff Castle, when the hour appointed for holding the meeting was mentioned to him, upon which he instantly hastened to the hall, where his presence was hailed with loud cheers.] THE LECTURE. At the termination of the meeting Mr. W. H. Michael, of Swansea, delivered a Lecture on the Objects, Plea- sures, and Advantages of Natural Science." The Lec- turer divided his subject under three chief heads Mathematical, Moral, and Natural Philosophy. After showing that the latter differed from the two former, in its treating of facts taken cognizance of by the external senses, he proceeded to explain the theorj of induction, and its operation, exemplifying by some beautiful expe- riments the properties of matter, and bringing instances from the natural world showing their presence and bear- ing on points of interest contrary to popularly received opinions. The action of bodies on each other next came under review and the various adaptation of scientific knowledge to the improvement of manufactures were happily dwelt on at some length. The connexion of the sciences we must with regret pass over, paying a hasty tribute of admiration to the connection and inti- mate relation pointed out between them and the action of animal and vegetable life, as seen in the foot of the bee, the eyes of various animals, and many others that our space reluctantly compels us to pass over without mentioning. The economy of animal life, its connection with vegetable organisation, and instances of design successively interested us, while the illustrations of vege- table physiology and the influences of scientific cultiva- tion in the adaptation of soils, and the application of galvanism claimed serious attention, and we trust was not without its use in inducing many to follow in the track pointed out to them by the lecturer. We wish we could convey to all our readers our impression of the importance of these subjects, but we trust this lecture will not be without its intended effect, that of inducing many to join a society which has for its chief object the irnprovement of the moral, social, and intellectual acuities of M'in. It is quite impossible for us o give any adequate idea of the lecture in our pages it was, in a word, highly popular. Science, in as far as was practicable, was divested of its dryness and its technicalities. Thenumernus diagrams, experiments, and rare specimens, with which it was illustrated, could not have failed to have given satisfaction. Amongst other things, we couldmeotion our having observed a splendid Porifera (the King's Cup) lately brought into this country, and which attracted great interest ;—a beautiful air pump, pneumatic appa- ratus and an improved steam-engine, by a Welshinan. The institution and town at large must feel highly in- debted to Mr. Michael for his admirable and learned lecture. — ♦ ■ ■— CARDIFF INFANT SCHOOL. The Annual and General Meeting of the Subscribers and Friends of this School was held at the School-Room on Tuesday last, the 20th of January, upon which occa- sion we observed present:—The Right Hon. Lord James Stuart, M.P., the Lady James Stuart, Miss Stuart, Mr. Herbert Stuart, the Rev. Thomas Stacey, Mrs. Stacey, Mr. Stacey, Miss Stacey, the Rev. W. Leigh Morgan, Mrs. Morgan, C. C. Williams E<q., Walter Coffin, Esq., Andrew Miller, Esq., Mrs. Miller, Dr. Moore and Mrs. Moore, Mr. Henry Webber, the. Misses Webber, Rev. James Evans, the Misses David, Robert Daw, Esq., Mrs. Montague Grover, Turberville Llewellin, Esq., and Mrs. Llewellin, Miss Wood*, Mrs. Bird and the Misses Bird, Dr. Vachell, &c., &c. The proceedings of the day commenced with the exa- mination of the children, wh. aJ! appeared very neatly and cleanly clad. They were examined in Scripture History and here we may remark, that the progress they had made In this department was really astonishing when we take into consideration the tender ages of many who took a prominent part in the examination. They also appeared most expert in arithmetic; and sang several- pieces very creditably,-upon the whole reflecting great credit upon the master and mistress, and clearly shewing that vast pains must have been taken with them. Lord and Lady James Stuart and the other ladies and gentlemen appeared very much pleased with the examination. At the close of the examination each child was presented with a fine rich bun by the committee, and then having made its bestbowleft the room. Several of the parents of the children were present during the examination, which having been fully con- cluded, Lord James Stuart took the chair, and called upon Andrew Miller, Esq., Treasurer and Secretary, to read THE REPORT FOR 1845. It is with feelings of unfeigned pleasure that the committee meet the friends and subscribers to this Institution on the pre- sent occasion and they present a report of the proceedings of the past year, with gratitude to God for the blessing vouchsafed to their efforts, and with the cheerful hope that His blessing will still continue to rest upon the work. It is the privilege of tour committee to state that the school continues to prosper the children attend in undiminished num- bers, especially during the last quarter of the year, and appear cheerful, contented, and happy. The parents generally manifest unabated confidence, and public support has not been withheld. The committee have to lament the loss of two valued friends during the year-the late much respected Dean of Llandaff, and our excellent mayor, W. Watson-both of whom so ably advo- cated the claims of the Institution to public support at the last anniversary. While, however, your committee deplore the loss of those friends, they are made to rejoice by the accession of others and they have now the gratification to state that the Marchioness of Bute has become an annual subscriber, and that the noble president of the Institution has, with his wonted liberality, come forward and discharged the balance of debt so long due on the building, by a donation of £ 34, and has also become an annual subscriber of five pounds. The committee, therefore, congratulate the friends and supporters of the school, not only that they enter upon a new year unencumbered with debt, but enjoying such increased patronage and support; and they feel that they should be wanting in their duty did they not here record their grateful sense of the unwearied exertions of their excellent lady patroness to promote on all occasions the interests of the Institution. In adverting to the state of the funds, the committee have to observe, that at the last annual meeting the expenditure, ex- ceeded the income by 8s. 2d.; and seeing no immediate prospect of any increase of funds, and that the attendance of the children was rather decreasing, they felt it Incumbent on them to reduce the expenses if possible. To affect this. they were reluctantly compelled to make an alteration in the salary of the master and mistress, which, instead of being, as hereto- fore, the fixed sum of je70 per annum, is for the future made to depend in some measure on the number of children attending the school-the committee guaranteeing that the sum shall not be less than dC60 per annum, but leaving it in the power of the master to increase it to £7:1 by obtaining a larger number of children -a plan which your committee have ascertained is generally adopted in other infant schools. In consequence of this alteration, the late master and mistress resigned their situ- ations. After some delay and difficulty your committee have been directed to the choice of Mr. and Mrs. Osborne who for four years had charge of an infant school in VViloot, in Wiltshire, and whose testimonials, both as to personal piety and ability. are of the highest character. The committee have reason, therefore, to hope that the school will continue to prosper under their management. The committee are thankful to state that the income for the past year has been just sufficient to meet the current expenses, leaving a balance in hand of jEl 17-1, 2d. on 31st December, as will appear by the treasurer's statement of accounts they feel called upon, however, to remark that this would not have been the case, but for the timely and liberal assistance afforded by the Marquis and Marchioness of Bute. On the 8th September the school was re-opened by the new master, with 60 children, and the committee are happy to state that the numbers regularly increased every week, and for the last three months there has been an average daily attendance of 140 children. Ninety-eight boys and 8-, girls have been admit- ted during the year; and there are at present 181 on the books. Pleasing instances of attachment to the school on the part of the children, and of the confidence and approbation of the parents, continue to come to the knowledge of the committee, which encourage them to hope that good is doing, and that there will be no diminution of children during the ensuing year. The advantages of early instruction and training are so im- portant, and are now so generally admitted, that it is unneces- sary for your committee to again draw attention to the subject; but they cannot conclude their report without pointing out the necessity for increased exertion to promote sound religious instruction. No one can pass through the streets and lanes of this town without being struck by the number of children loitering about in idleness, and shocked by the language they utter; and though much is now being done to extend the means of education, yet your committee feel there is a growing neces- sity for still more strenuous efforts being made to give due effect to those means in our power. And surely nothing can be better calculated to accomplish that than to bring those children under a system of education which combines amusement with instruc- tion, and which, while it informs the mind, is calculated to call forth and cherish the best affections of our nature, and imparts to the infants a knowledge of their duty to each other and to God, Mr. Miller also read a statement of the accounts, by which it appeared that the donations and subscriptions received for 1843 amount to £71 18 0 Interest on money borrowed, returned by C. C. W. I 18 1 £ 73 16 1 Amount received in weekly pence from children •i > 3 4 Donation received Oil account of building funi 56 0 0 Amount £ 162 18 5 The Cr. side of the account contained an enumeration of the expenses, leaving a balance in the treasurer's hands ofjElt7s.2d. The first resolution was moved by the Rev. Thomas Stacey, namely, "That the report now read with the statement of the treasurer's aceounts be received, printed, and circulated utider the direction of the committee." This was seconded in a very able speech by C. C. Williams, Esq.. and unanimously carried. The Rev. James hvans moved the second resolution- "That the thanks of this meeting be given to the com- mittee and secretary for their services during the past year; and that the following gentlemen constitute the committee for the present year, viz: Rev. T. Stacey, Dr. Moore, 11 W. Leigh Morgan, :Ir, Robert Ihw, Mr. E. P. Richards, Charles Vachell, „ Walter Coffin, Thomas Hopkins, „ David Evans, 11 Lowder, 11 J. H. Lan gtev, 1. Joseph Brown. This was seconded by R. Daw, Esq. and carried un- animously. The Rev. W. L. Morgan, in an admirable speech, moved the third resolution, "That the cordial thanks of the meeting be given to the ladies committee, for their kind attention in visiting the school; and that the follow- ing ladies form the visiting committee for the ensuing year:— Mrs. Stacev, ) Mrs. Lowder, C. C. Williams, Parrv, Wm. Bird, Rowe, Geo. Bird, Vachell, Grover, Miss Stuart, Hopkins, Miss Webber, Horwood, f Miss Scale, Moore, Miss Langley, „ Miller, Miss Wood. „ Win. Richards, Turberville Llewellin, Esq., briefly seconded the reso- lution—carried unanimously. Moved by Walter Cotlin, Esq., seconded by Dr. Moore, and unanimously carried, 1 hat the best thanks of this meeting be given to the Most Noble the Marquess and Marchioness of Bute, for their liberal contributions and countenance to the institution. His Lordship then left the chair, which was taken by Walter Coffin, Esq. Moved by the ltev, Thomas Stacey, seconded by Dr. Vachell, and carried by acclamation, "That the best thanks of this meeting be given to Lord James Stuart, for his kindness in presiding on the present occasion." His Lordthip returned thanks in a very eloquent speech after which the ladies and gentlemen separated, highly satisfied with the proceedings of the day, which certainly were of such a nature as to reflect the highest credit upon the committee as well as the master and mistress.

To LADIES.—"Avec de mauvais dents jamais femme n'etoit belle, Avec de jolis dents jamais femme n'etoit laide.—J. J. Hosseau. VALUE AND IMPORTANCE OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH.— The teeth influence the form and expression of the coun- tenance much more than is generally imagined, and the finest face is disfigured if any ot the teeth are lost, and a disagreeable impression is produced. Where the teeth are good, there is, when speaking, or smiling especially, a fascination present, which prevents further examination of the countenance. The new Incorrodible Teeth intro- duced by Messrs. Thomas and Howard, Surgeon-Dentists, 64, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London, are fixed without extracting any roots or teeth, or giving any pain whatever. They will also be found much more economi. cal than any others.

GLADSTONE.-It is expected that Mr. Gladstone will be a candidate for the represen- tation of Ripon, vacant by the promotion of the Irish Attorney General to the Mastership of the Rolls. FINANCES or THE LIVRRPOOL CORPORATION.—At the meeting of the Town-Council, on Wednesday, the Fi- nance Committee reported their estimate that the net income for the ensuing year would be £142,000, and the obligatory expenditure £ 114,256 leaving a surplus of £ 27,744.—Liverpool Slnndard. AN EXCELLENT AND CHEAP SOUP.—Order from your butcher three dozen of shanks of mutton, for which he will charge YOII 9d., put them into fourteen gallons of water (or the liquor which has boiled a joint of meat,) with three large onions, a large carrot, three turnips, with pepper and salt; boil it twelve hours, and It will produce a rich soup or jelly, and afford a meal to twelve persons for one shilling. It would be rendered more substantial if the pieces of broken bread and meat, too often put into the pig tub, were added.-Female correspondent of a London Paper, A BAIT FOR MESMERISTS.—Mr.Dud^eon, the manager of Ball's Bank, Dublin has published the following letter Bank, Henry-street, Dublin.

Ball and Co., to be paid to any person who shall by the operation of Mesmerism describe the pnrtieulnrs of the note, 1 beg leave to state that such a lodgment has been made in this Bank, and on the envelope in which it is contained is the following endorse- ment This envelope contains a bank note for £ 100, which will immediately become the property of the per- son who, without opening the envelope, shall describe, in the presence of Phillip Doyne, Esq.. and Sir Phillip Crampton, Bart., every particular of the said note, namely, the bank from which it was issued, the date, the number, and the signature attached to it; and who shall read a sentence, consisting of a few English words plainly written, and which is contained in the same envelope with the half note.—James Dudgeon." THE MANUFACTURING OF VOTEs.-Under this title the Sussex Express of Saturday has the following:—"The Anti-corn-law League have commenced their labours of purchasing freeholds in Sussex. Their plan is to invest any person who will pay them £ 63 with a county vote. We, however, are in a position to supply protectionists with the qualification for £60, being f3 less; and there- fore any person who may be anxious to become a voter lor East Sussex can attain his object by remitting us that amount, with his proper name and address. We beg it to be perfectly understood that we have no connexion whatever in this undertaking with any society; but through private arrangement, and with a determination to meet the League with their own weapons, we have placed ourselves in the position of securing to any pro- tectionist, for the sum named, the rights of a county vote." THE MILITIA.—The public, we believe, are aware of the fact of an oftieial circular having been issued from the Horse Guards respecting the probable embodiment of the militia. On account of such circular and other steps already taken, much interest and anxiety have been mani- fested, and many vague rumours have found free circula- tion upon the subject. Now, respecting the calling out, it should be recollected that the Act of Parliament autho- rizing the ballot for the militia has been suspended many years. The result of this is, that the alterations in the amount of population of the country must necessarily lead to a very different distribution of the qUlJta to be furnished by each county. It is perhaps not known to many that during the recess of Parliament nothing can be done to ascertain such quota without an order in Council directing this to be done, by the delivery of notices at the houses of those liable to be drawn for this service, upon which return is formed the necessary information to found this data. It is not likely now that an order in Council will be issued, but that immediately on the meeting of Parlia- ment a bill will be brought in to authorize this measure, and the first step then will be to obtain the particulars above referred to as a part of the necessary measures for carrying out the intention of Parliament. Upon this being done the ballot for each county follows, and then the orders of Government as to the, duty to he performed. With respect to the various rumours as to a permanent embodiment for active service for any length of time, there are not at present any substantial grounds for be- lieving such will be the case, but the chance is, that the various corps will be placed on duty for a period of twenty-eight days only, and that so far carrying out the measure will sufficiently put the Government in possession of the knowledge of the amount of means available, should any unexpected emergency arise. BANKRUPTCIES IN 1845.—The bankruptcies that have occurred in aDd up to a late period of the past year, make a total of 1023, and oil an analysis of the trade or calling of the individuals composing the above aggregate, it ap- pears that there were of that number—7 apothecaries, I attorney, 9 auctioneers, 7 bakers, 5 beersellers, 18 book- sellers, 21 boot and shoemakers, 14 brewers, 11 brick- layers and masons, 3 brickinakers, 18 brokers, 33 builders, 19 butchers, 15 cabinetmakers, 4 calico and stuff printers, 10 carpenters, 1 carpet manufacturer,7 carriers & carmen, 4 carvers and gilders, 8 cattle dealers, 7 cheesemongers, 21 chemists and druggists, 2 clothiers, 2 cloth manufac- turers, 1 cloth merchant, 3 coachmakers, 3 coach and omnibus proprietors, 19 coal merchants, 18 commission- agents, 2 contractors of roads, railways, and gas, I cook and confectioner, 15 corn merchants and dealers, 6 cotton- manufacturers, 2 cotton-spinners, 12 curriers, 'A cutlers, 4 dairymen, 5 dealers, 33 drapers, 11 dyers, 3 earthen- ware-dealers, 3 eating & coffeehouse-keepers, 9 engineers, 1 engraver, 8 farmers, 4 farriers, 4 fellmongers, 2 fish- mongers, 2 fruiterers, 6 glass-merchants, 59 grocers, G hatters, 11 hosiers, 41 innkeepers, 8 ironfounders, 14 ironmongers, 2 jewellers, 2 lacemen, 3 leathersellers, 1 lime-burner, 18 linen-drapers, I livery stable.k'eper, ] lodginghonse-keeper, 7 machinists, 5 malt-sellers, 2 mar- ket-gardeners, 4 mercers, 40 merchants, 4 milliners, 8 millers, 6 money-scriveners, 5 musical instrument-makers, 8 oil and colourmen, 5 painters, 4 paper-hangers, li piper- makers, I pawnbroker, 20 plumbers & glaziers, 8 printers, 2 print and musicsellers, 8 provision-dealers, 2 saddlers, I sail cloth-manufa'-turer, 3 ship-brokers, 3 ship-owners, 3 shipwrights, 4 silk-manufacturers, 3 smiths, 1 soap- maker, 9 stationers, 6 surgeons and dentists, 16 tailors. 4 tallow-chandlers, 11 tea-dealers, 5 limber-merchauts, 2 tobacconists, 3 trimming-makers, 9 upholsterers, 63 victuallers, 12 warehousemen, 8 watch and clock makers, 4 wharfingers, 5 wheelwrights, 36 wine and spirit mer- chants, 3 woollen-drapers, 7 woollen-mannfacturers, 1, wool-stapler. 3 worsted-manufacturers, I worsted-spinner and 57 of various occupations.

The de- mand still continues very limited for this description flattened iron is quoted at jEt4 16s. on the spot. Cast metal has very few sellers. A sale, however, of 15,000 to 16,000 kil., to be delivered in 17 months' time, has been contiacted for at 1:7 10s., delivered at the furnace. Nothing worthy of notice will be doing until the spring, as railways and forges are nearly at a stand still for the present, until the fine season sets in again, so as to enable them to proceed with the works uninterruptedly, and place the iron furnaces in full blast. CONTRACT OF ENGLISH COALS FOR THE FRENCH Go- VERNMENT.—On the 4th February next, the minister of marine and colonies will be ready to treat for a contract for the furnishing of 12,000,000 kilogrammes, or 24,000,000 lbs. of English rock coal, to be delivered at the French possessions of Algiers, Oran and Bona, in Africa. The cahier des charges, or terms of contract, are deposited at the office of the minister of marine, in Paris at the consulate of France, at Newcastle; also at the offices of the marine commissariat, at each of the ports of Dun- kerque, Havre-de-Grace, St. Servan, Nantes, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Toulon, and Algiers. THE COAL TRADE.—The imports of cod into London in 1845, exceeded those of 1844 by nearly 100,000 tons: Imported in 1845, in 11,987 ships 3,403,320 tons. Imported in 1844, in 9,466 ships 2,490,910 „ Increase in 184b 2,521 ships. 912,410 tons. SIR ROBERT PEEL'S PLAN.—Some particulars of the plan of the Government have oozed out, in a manner quite unintentional. We give them without any guar- antee for their correctness beyond this, that a most respectable man avers that he traces the statement up to a person in high office. It is said, then, that the pro- posed change will be a modification of the present sliding scale-the new range being from 6Ss. down to 40s. The duty varying, from Is. at the highest of these prices, down to 14s. at the lowest. It is added, that to reconcile th3 agriculturists to this "relaxed protection," they are to obtain a repeal of the malt tax and an adjustment of the poor and county rates, in such sort as to lighten the burdens on the land. As we have just said, we give this statement on no other authority than that of a respectable gentleman, who avers that without being at liberty to explain how it came to his knowledge, he has the fullest conviction that this will be found to the plan which will be next week proposed to Parhament.-Morninq Herald. We have heard on good authority, that Mr. Beckett. Deni- son eccived on flssurance from tlie Pi emier that his intended measures will not be repulsive to the agricultural in- terest, before lie undertook to second the address. Mr. Denison is a meuber of the council of the Central Society for the Protection of Agriculture.—Post. It was decided by the Court of Common Plens, on Thursday week, that leaving a notice on Sunday of claim to be put on the Parliamentary registry in the legal way was good when the 20th of July fell upon a Sunday Gibralter letters state that a revolution in Morocco, having for its object the dethronement of the present Emperor and the evelation of Abil-el-Kader to the throne is very probable. At the conclusion of the morning service at St. Nicholas Church Brighton, on Sunday, Mr. E. Weston, Sheriff's Officer, read a proclamation of outlawry at the Church doors against Mr. Craven, junr., of Kemp-town, and lately a Captain in the 2nd Diagoon Guards. The proclamation was issued at the suit of W. H. Hastings Reed. The Duke of Marlborough has recently caused nearly 200 does to be killed in Blenheim Park and the vnsion to be distributed among the poor of the surrounding parishes. J. H. Campbell, Esq., M. P. for Salisbury, has kindly given to the Mayor of that city, jEiOO to be distributed to the poor of the town. This gentleman by the death of his mother, now takes the name and arms of Wyndham, with the estates of his late uncle, Wadhain Wyndham, Esq., who for many years represented that city. At the Christmas rent audit of the Countess of War- wick, at Gatton Park, her Ladyship, unsolicited by the tenants, returned ten per cent. This is the third time that, the Countess has made a deduction. It is stated that the case of Bellany against the Hun- dred, for burning at North Sunderland, is to come on for trial at the next assizes for Northumberland, under a pe- remtory order from the Judge. THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE AT THE FALLS OF NIAGARA—. It is projected to construct a suspension bridge above the Falls of Niagara, so as to join the Canadian railway and the United States. The execution otitis to be confided to Mr. Charles Ellett, of Philadelphia, or to Mr. John A. Rebling, of Pittsberg. Mr. Ellett lately visited the spot, for the purpose of examining the locality, and to ascertain the practicability of erecting so great a desideratum. There is a bridge which exists about a mile and a half below the cataract, and near the gulph, or whirlpool, where the distance of the two chief abutments, from one sitle to the other, does not exceed 640ft. The ex- penses for constructing this bridge are estimated by Mr. Ellett at £ 43,200, for which sum he offers to build it, and he subscribes himself to the amount of £ 4320. PURIFICATION OF A CITy.-At twelve o'clock on Christmas Eve all the licensed houses of ill-fame in the city of Berlin were, by command of the authorities, for ever shut up. The unfortunate women were released from all debts they might owe to the proprietors of the houses, who, it is believed, are to be idemnified for their losses. The discarded women are to be sent home to their relatives in the country, at the public expense, and there maintained until places are found for them as ser- vants or otherwise, either by the police or by benevolent societies. Such as belono- to the city, or prove to be in- corrigible, a)"i to be either sent to the House of Correc- tiou or kept under the superintendence of the police until they are placed. Louis NAPOLEON.—We read in the Hazelte de France —"The ex-King of Holland is about to see his son azain, Prince Louis may receive the last sigh of his noble fa- ther, whose life, undermined by various sorrows, is visi- bly departing. An ex-deputy of the Centre, M. C.—-— went a few days ago to visit the young prisoner, with the mission, it appears of communicating this to him' The Prince learned with joy that was very natural that a term was about to be put to his captivity. M. C. brought back an acquiescence of honour, which permitted an immediate decision for the liberation of Prince Louis." EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES.—The Hall of the Ancestors of Fouthines, a monument of Egyptian archaeology, up- wards of 3,500 years old, has just been placed in the Royal Library. M. Presse, a French Traveller, in 1842 conceived the idea of transporting the interesting relic of antiquity to France, and having had the stones carefully removed they were packed up iu cases, and shipped on board a vessel. It now appears exactly as it stood at Karnack, 60 statues of natural height, form a part of this collection, as also a papyrus, three metres in length.— Galignani's Mesenyer. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—CRTM. CON.—CLARKE v. DUNSFORD.—This case, it will be remembered, was tried before the Lord Chief Justice last term. The plaintiff was an attorney at Bristol, and the defendant a surgeon, who had been in partnership with the brother of the plaintiff, and eventually effected the ruin of the plaintiff's wife. The action excited considerable sensa- tion at the time, and the Jury, after a long and patient investigation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, and gave £5,000 damages. Sir. T. Wilde (who conducted the- case for the defendant at the trial) on Wednesday moved for a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the venue had been removed from Bristol, where the parties resided, to Middlesex, all the ground that an important letter would be produced, by which it would appear that the defendant had taken a lodging at Bath in the name of Lyde and that he and the plaintiff's wife had frequently met there. On the trial no such letter was produced, and the Learned Counsel contended, that as the venue was removed on specific ground, the de- fendant was entitled to a new trial, and he therefore moved for a rule nini for a new trial, to take place at Bristol. The Court took time to consider the motion and on Friday morning Lord Chief Justice Tindal said, that on carefully considering the case, the Court was of opinion that the rule should be granted.

CORN" EXCHANGE—MONDAY. i MARK LANE, MONDAY.—With small supplies of wheat last I week, and to this day's market, we have the trade extremely depressed, and there is so much disinclination to increase stocks on the part of iniliers that sellers were obliged to submit to a decline of Is. to 2s. per qr. on the currency of this day week, to eUcot sales. Flour meets a dull sale, and is Is. per sack cheaper. Barley is difficult to sell, and last week's prices about main- tained. Beans, white and grey, Is. to 2s. per qr. lower. We i are shortly supplied with oats, and many of the foreign arrivals are being landed in bond. Irish oats are generally held for some advance, but the trade is not active, and prices just maintained. WHEAT. are being landed in bond.

SMIlrIMELD MARKEL\S—MONDAY. SMITHFIELD M ARKET—MONDAY.—During t'.ie past week, the imports of live stuck into London have bjeii on a very extensive I scale -viz., 250 oxen and cows, and 300 sheep. from Rotterdam ? 104 now,, 8 oxen, and Ht) sheep, from llai'lin_jen and I'.l tows, 29 oxen, and 370 sheep, from Schiedam, in, generally speaking.. excellent condition ia deed, maay of th.? cows have come io- hand in first-rate order. To-day, we had on sal. ;,tj() fureigl1' beasts, and 4:30 ditto sheep, which attracted more than usuaJi attention from the butchers, who purchased the whole on olfer- at prices varying from £ 16 Ills, to 'J2.'i JOj. per head for t'w beasts, and 34s. to 44s. per head "for the We in- formed that the foreign bi'asts continue to carry a large quantity of internal fat. At Hull, about 40 beasts, ">4 shevp, and 31 pigs have beeii r(v-,iv(-dfroiii Holland, nearly the whole of which. have been forwarded into the manufacturing districts. The- Norfolk season for beasts having now commenced, upwards of •- 400 Scots and homebreds were received thence this mùraing" which, together with the arrivals from all pirts of England, were- of very superior quality, better, in fact, than we have observed1 on any previous market day during the whole of the present year. From the nor. hern districts. 600 short horns from the western and midland counties, 400 Hereford*, Devons, runts, &c.: from other parts of England, 500 of various kinds tMM Scotland, 80 Scots; and, fro-n Ireland. dO beasts came ft-esh to. hand the remainder of the bullock supply being lwincipally derived from abroad, and the neighbourhood of the metropolis*- The supply of beasts, to-day, being comparatively sraaj'i, and the attendance of buyers large, the beef trade ruhkl steady, at, m some few instances, a trilling advance in the quotations—the* primest Scots rea lily producing 4s. 4d. per 81lis.. at which iu good clearance was ell'ected by the salesmen. With sheep we^ | were scantily supplied for the time of the year; while the mut- ton trade was firm, at fully, but at nothingqn jtable beyond, our- last quotations. There were in the market about 300 shorm Leicesters. and nearly 1U0 lambs from various quarters. The- ,i number of ctil-«-as small while tlio vjat trade lulod steady. at late rates. Prime small pigs moved ùtr freely, at extreme figures. Otherwise, the pork trade was inactive. A Statement aud Comparison of the Supplies and Price*?
