JOHN N ROBERTS, ?? AAnuda.nt?ort. WM. GWYNNE STEDMAN THOMAS, Auditors THE REPORT OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE. The Committee have the satisfaction of reporting the largely increased usefulness of the Institution, but they have still to lament the inadequacy of the Funds placed at their disposal. From the want of sufficient means a large portion of the benefits, which might otherwise be extended to the suffering poor is necessarily withheld. They regret to state that the expenditure during the past year, though regulated with the strictest regard to economy, exceeded the Income by £ 63 4s. 5d. The Committee have received the undermentioned legacies, viz. :-By the Exoecutors of the late Mrs. Griffiths, legacy of 119 19s., and interest, L20 8s.; by the late Capt. W. R. Davies, R.N., £ 45 by the late D. W. Nash, Esq.. X19 19s. ;-total, L85 7s. These several sums have bepn invested in the purchase ofj691 15s. 3. Three per Cent, Consols added to the permanent capital of the Institution. The Committee have to notice with grateful acknowledgements, the important addition of JE26 5s. to the Funds, being the proceeds of lectures delivered by the Rev. Dr. Ltoyd, who has befriended the Institution in a similar manner on former occasions. The Committee desire to make a most earnest appeal for support, to those landed proprietors, of the county, who have not yet become subscribers, and also to the various Ministers of Religion, for aid, by means of collections in their respect tive churches and chapels. Without additional means the important though comparatively limited amount of good a at present rendered by the Infirmary must be still further ourtailed. Space for ten more In Patients remain unoccupied, solely from want of funds. W. G. THOMAS, jun., Chairman.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. The Recordership of Brighton is vacant, it having been resigned by Mr. Edwin James Q.C. The salary is £301) per annum. Kossuth notes are now bought by some of the money chancers at Milan at the rate of 50 per cent. of their nomi- nal value. Heraldic full length flags, gilded with gold leaf, are being placed in the paws of the great lions rampant that adorn the bise of the Victoria tower. The French Government has resolved to erect a new consulate in England, and has fixed upon Leeds as its seat. A violent explosion of gunpowder took place in a fuse manufactory at Pool, near Camborne, in Cornwall, on Wednesday. Three lives were lost, and several persons in- jured. It is currently reported that there are 200 Irish solicitors, be they more or less, in London just now in search of the six Crown Solicitorships vacant by the death of Sir Matthew Barrington. A census has been ordered for Paris and the department of the Seine, but instead of being taken in a single day, as in England, the operations will spread over 42 days—viz., from April 20 to June 1. It would appear from a return receutly made that the value of wrecked property saved or protected by th" Coast- guard during the year 1860 amounted to upwards of 11,000,000, while the number of persons rescued from a watery grave during the same period by this gallant body of men was 528.-Civil Service Gazette. A COMMISSION OF LUNACY on the Earl of Kingston was opened on Tuesday, before Commissioner Warren, Q.C. The evidence was perfectly conclusive as to Lord Kingston's lunacy, and the Commissioner decided that he was of unsound mind, and incapable of managing his affairs. A bust of William Pitt, by Nollekens, has been presented by Lord Granville to the National Portrait Gallery in Westminster. A small miniature of Mrs Fry, with Newgate bars in the back ground, has recently been added to the collection; whilst a head—life size-of Horace Wal- pole, by some unknown artist, has been suspended on the staircase. Another addition was made to the iron steam fleet of Great Britain on Thursday, by the launch of the iron-cased fmate Resistance on the Thames. The launch was a com- plete success and the Valiant, another ship of the same class, will immediately be laid down in the same building yard. The Defiance, an iron-clad vessel of the same character, will be launched in the Tyne in a little time. In referring to the unhappy calamity on the Clyde whereby seven persons were drowned, a correspondent of the Glasgow Herald suggests that in such cases, or indeed in any case of immersion, if the person immersed would seize the rim of his hat and keep the crown thereof uppermost, the air inside the hat would suffice to keep a man afloat, and thus many lives might be saved. On Thursday morning an impudent robbery was perpe- trated at the railway station at York. Miss Coulson, of Headingley, near L'eeds, was a passenger by one of the morning trains, and had placed her dressing-case in the carriage in which she was about to travel. The door was then locked. In a few minutes after, however, on Miss Coulson returning from the waiting-room, she found that the door on the off-side of the carriage had been opened, and the dressing case taken away. It contained two jEo bank notes, five or six sovereigns, some bracelets, and other articles. The dressing-case was afterwards found, cleared of its contents, under a hedge. Mr. Gladstone, a short time ago, consulted Sir Henry James on the possibility of copying our ancient records by means of his process of photozincography. A small deed of the date of Edward the First was copied and printed, with so much success, and at so trifling an expense, that Lord Herbert of Lea, the Secretary-at-war, ordered the impres- sions to be bound up with the yearly report on the Ord- nance Survey. Thus encouraged, Sir Henry James got permission from the Lord of the Treasury to copy that part of the Domesday Book which relates to Cornwall, as an ex- per nt He has now achieved this commission, with a resw%v?ich "should certainly encourage the further pro- secution of the design, county by county, as appears to been originally proposed by him. SOUTH LANCASHIRE STRIKE.—A monster meeting of operative factory workers, attended by not felver than 8,000 persons, took place on the market ground of Ashton-under- Lyne, at half-past ten o'clock on Tuesday morning. Mr. William Jardine, who was nominated to the chair, said that the money already collected did not amount to more than a farthing per head for the men out of work, and stated that the course taken by the committee would be to distribute this among families containing five or six children, and not equally among all the men. A subsequent speaker declared his intention not to go in at the reduction of 74 per cent. proposed by the employers, but said he should not be one to oppose any of the men who chose to adopt that course. The meeting was then adjourned. FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT OLDHAM.—On Wednesday after- noon, an accident occurred at the Hartford Iron Works, Oldharn, which caused the death of two men, while others were seriously inj ured. A new engine-house is in course of erection, and nine labourers were engaged in getting up a large beam to support the topmost story, when the scaffold on which they itood gave way, and they fell to the ground, a distance of eight or nine yards. The seven men who escaped with their lives were severely injured. 11 ELOPEMENT FROM A BOARDING OCHOOL -aome ex- citement was caused at Brill a few weeks since by a young lady of the name of Vernon being missed from the Misses Clarke's seminary at that town. It appears that the lady fled with Thomas Barnes, jun., Brill, that the happy couple were marriod at Oxford, and afterwards had a welding trip. They have now returned to Brill with wedding honours.—Bicester Hwald. THE PORCELAIN OF THE WEST EASTWARD BOUND.— Whether the time will ever come in which coals will actually be imported to Newcastle, certainly yet remains an open question. But still, even this scarcely seems to be altogether removed from possible contingencies, when we find that china of the highest artistic character is made here in Eng- land, expressly for the purpose of its being sent eastward, if not to the Celestial Empire itself, at any rate to India. Such is the fact. The ceramists of Staffordshire not only rival Oriental potters, but they produce porcelain for Oriental merchant princes; and we expect to hear, after the new treaty has been in healthful action for a few years, that they are specially commissioned to provide china for the per- sonal use of the Chinese Emperor. Such anticipations naturally arose in our minds, when we were examining two services of English porcelain—a dinner and a dessert service that have just been completed by Alderman Copeland for Sir Jamset j ee the wealthy Parsee baronet of Bombay, Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy. The dinner service is of a pure white, ex- quisitely bordered in gold, and with the armorial insignia of the" wort hy baronet" richly emblazoned "upon every piece. In accordance with the special desire of Sir Jamset- jee himself, expressed by him when in England, the dessert service bears upon each piece a beautifully-painted view of some scene or some edifice which particularly attracted his notice in this country, and of which he desired to possess such a memorial as might thus be rendered through the agency of an English art manufacturer. These works are fresh instances of the high standard of excellence to which our national ceramic productions have now attained; and they also add others to the long series of examples of the masterly skill for which Alderman Copeland has so long been celebrated.-Art lournal. ARRIVAL OF THE EARL OF ELGIN.—The Earl of Elgin arrived at Dover from Paris about three o'clock on Thursday afternoon His lordship crossed in the John Penn, com- manded by Captain Matthews. As soon as the vessel drew near to the pier a salute of ordnance was discharged from the Castle batteries, and on his lordship stepping on shore a second salute was fired from the new battery of the Western Heights. The mayor and corporation and a staff of officers proceeded on board to receive his lordship, and accompanied him to the Lord Warden Hotel, a corps of volunteers form- ing the guard of honour. At the hotel an address of con- gratulation from the mayor and corporation was read by the town clerk. His lordship, in reply, after referring to his gratification at returning to England, proceeded to speak of the operations of the army and navy in China. After the achievement of an advance on Pekin had been accomplished, he said it became the duty and office of diplomacy to endeavour to turn to good account the advantages it was calculated to ensure in the first place to punish with necessary severity deeds of bad faith and cruelty, but, above all, to retnember that we did not go there for the purpose of making conquests, but in order to establish relations of amity and muttlal benefit between our own country and the most populous nation on the earth. (Applause.) His lord- ship concluded by expressing the satisfaction he amongst others felt, while defending and maintaining the interests of our country in remote regions of the earth, in knowing that thousands of gallant men were enrolling themselves here to protect the homes of England from inj ury and insult, should occasion for their services arise. (Great applause.) The Earl and Lady Elgin left for London by the 3.45 mail train, being accompanied to the railway station by the mayor and corporation, and lustily cheered by a crowd which nearly filled the platform. ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A CLERGYMAN.—A Dublin journal publishes the following:—"A Protestant olergy- man, Archdeacon Mathias, residing for some time past at Mount Hague, Kingstown, committed a murderous attack on his wife on Monday evening, and inflicted injuries on her of a most serious character. It appears that as they were preparing to go to dinner, and as she was stooping down to the fender, he took the poker in his hand, struck her on the head, and felled her to the earth, wounding her in a most frightful manner. The servant rushed over to protect the lady, but he attacked him likewise with the same weapon, and nearly smashed his hand, which he had put out to defend himself. One of the rev. gentleman's children who ran to him during the wiclcet he also struck with the poker on the head, without inflicting any serious injury. Mrs. Mathias rusnea out screaming jviutuer > She took refuge next door. Archdeacon Mathias has been married to this lady only twelve months. By a previOU14 marriage he had 14 children, 12 of whom are living. The attack was caused, it is said, by aberration of mind. He had been suffering from gout, which affected his mental faculties. He was noticed wandering and absent in manner on Monday. He is now confined in his own room, in charge of three policemen. Mrs. Mathias lies in a very precarious state. DEATH OF LORD BERWICK.—On Friday afternoon, after long and severe suffering from an internal tumour, died the Right Hon. Richard Noel Noel Hill, fifth Baron Berwick, at his seat Cornhill, near Shrewsbury. The j deceased was son of the fourth Baron, the Hon. and ltev. j Richard Noel Hill, Rector of Berrington, Salop, by the second daughter of the late Mr. Mostyn Owen, of W ood- house, Salop. He was born at Betton, Salop, in 1800, was educated at Rugby, and succeeded his father in 1848. He is succeeded in his title and estates by his next brother, Colonel the Hon. William Noel Hill (now Baron Berwick), who entered the army in 1817; served in the Burmese war in 1825-6, and was present at the battles of Prome and Tandwayn. In 1854 he attained his Colonelcy, and retired in 1855. The deceased nobleman devoted himself almost entirely to agricultural and mechanical pursuits. He was one of the most successful breeders in England of Hereford cattle, and his farm buildings are models of order and neat- ness. UP has obtained numerous prizes at the shows of the Il< y d Agricultural Society, at Birmingham, at the Smithli. id shows, and several places in the provinces. Ili, genius as a mechanic was extraordinary, and he was a first- rate rifle shot. He took no part in politics, but the family aro Conservatife. THE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING TRADES.—Notwithstand- ing the unhappy preVal- nce of pecuniary difficulties between employers and employed at the present moment, the lock out" or strike" had not extended 011 Wednesday in the metropolitan workshops beyond the firms of Messrs. Kelk and Lucas, with the exception of a partial withdrawal of the men at Messrs. Smith's consequent on the expressed determination of those gentlemen to decline engaging work- men on any other terms than at 7d. per hour with the con- cession of the Saturday half-holiday. A meeting of the operatives from several of the principal building yards was held on Tuesday, at Camden Town, when a resolution was adopted to withhold the weekly contributions to the fund for the support of the men who refuse to accede to the equitable terms recently offered by the master builders. A MALICIOUS LIBEL.-At the Liverpool assizes, on Tues- day, John Owen, a man apparently about forty years of age, was indicted for having published a malicious libel upon the character of Ann Burgess, the wife of a master sailmaker. Mrs. Burgess is the daughter of a draper at Oswestry, where the defendant also resided. Before her marriage he offered to give her a few lessons for the purpose of improving her handwriting. The offer was accepted, but the prisoner, during the time he was acting as a writing master, con- ducted himself in such a manner that the girl refused to go to him again. The prisoner then sent several letters to her of an indecent character, and came to reside at Liverpool soon after the plaintiff removed to that town. In Septem- ber last she was married to Mr. Burgess, but the prisoner continued,his offensive conduct, and even insinuated to her relatives that he bad dishonored her. He was found guilty, aud sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. THE HAVELOCK MONUMENT IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE.—' On Wednesday morning the statue of General Sir Henry Havelock, which has recently been erected at the south eastern corner of Trafalgar-square, and immediately facing Northumberland House, was uncovered," and during the day some thousands of persons had an opportunity of in- specting it. The statue, which is in full length, is in bronze, the brightness of which was extremely dazzling. The likeness of the deceased general is good, and the position in which he is standing is full of meaning. It is erected on a Dartmoor granite pedestal, which is at present without any inscription, but on the front it is intended to engrave the gallant general's name, the regiment to which he belonged at the time of his death, and a list of his glorious victories during his brilliant campaign in India. On the back it is intended to record the names of the regi- ments that served under his command at the relief of Lucknow, and other engagements with which he was con- nected. The statue is by Mr. Behnes, who executed that of Sir Robert Peel at the west-end of Cheapside. A JEW UTTERING FORGED NOTES.-George Cohen, aged 40, a keeper of an outfitting shop in Rosemary-lane, was indicted at the Central Criminal Court for feloniously uttering a forged £5 Bank of England note. About the middle of March he offered the note to Mr. Jones, a publican, living opposite his own place of business, and obtained change. Mr. Jones afterwards found it was forged, and, on the prisoner refusing to repay him, sued him for the amount. While this matter was pending, the prisoner passed off two other notes, for X-5 and £ 10 respectively, at shops in the neighbourhood, both of which were also found to be forged. In order to put a good face upon the matter, the prisoner prevailed upon a man named Moss, who owed him a little money and was unable to pay him, to accompany him to the place where one of the last notes had been cashed, and state that the prisoner had received the notes from three sailors whom Moss had recommended to him. The fraud, however, was discovered, and Moss then told the whole story. The prisoner was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. On hearing the verdict of the jury pronounced, he shed tears and hid his face in his handkherchief, and when sentenced by the Recorder appeared utterly overcome. HOUSEBltEAKING EXTRAORDINARY.—On Saturday, at the Portsmouth Quarter Sessions, the wife of a warrant officer of Her Majesty's ship Castor, lying at North Shields, named Emma Madden, and George Madden, her son, were were brought up under the following circumstances; The prisoners who occupy a respectable position in life, rented a house in Grafton-street, Portsmouth, next to which another warrant offioer, named Andrews, resided. The latter being appointed by the Government to a ship on the coast of Ireland, removed there, and his house next to Mrs. Maddens was consequently closed. In the mean time Mrs. Madden and her son broke into the house of Mr.Andrews & completely stripped it of furniture, books, and valuables. She sent a portion of the goods to her husband, who delivered them to the police. The robbery was discovered, traced to the prisoners, and they were both apprehended. The Recorder in sentencing the prisoners, said it was the worst case he had had to deal with during the session, and sentenced them to four years' penal serviude. The female prisoner fell down in a fainting fit on hearing the sentence. THE MOST EFFICACIOUS PLAN OF TREATMENT FOR GENERAL DEBILITY.—In cases of extreme debility, ettla. cia:ion, defective nutrition, and irregular digestion, the powerful curative influence of Dr.De Jongh's Light Brown Cod Liver Oil is well and scientifically described by Sir Henry Marsh, Bart, Physician in Ordinary to the Queen in Ireland, who, after extensive use, strongly recom- mended this preparation, and observed; I have frequent- ly prescribed Dr. De Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil. I consider it to be a very pure oil, not likely to create disgust and a therapeutic agent of great value." This enlightened physician remarks, that in strumous and emaciated pa- tients this remedy tells with peculiar energy. A regular daily. course of this animal oil is capable of bringing about a most remarkable and salatory change in all the vital functions. Much however, depends upon its steady, uninterrupted use for a considerable period. How does it act? how does it influence the system ? are questions to which we are not yet in a position to give a full and satisfactory answer. Are any of its good effects referable to the iodine, to the bile or other minute ingredients it contains, or is not its main value due to the regular diurnal introduction of oleaginous nutriment into the system, in a form capable of assimilation. It did that which was most required it checked the progress of emaciation restored the yielding health rebuilt, as it were, the tottering frame; and its reviving and- reanimating effcets were highly satisfactory in all those cases in which the general health was impaired." HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-Pure Blood.—As this vital fluid, when in a healthy state, sustains and renovates every part of the living system, but when it becomes impoverished, or impure exerts a precisely contrary effect, it is abundantly manifest that any medicine failing to reach the circulation can never exterminate disease but any preparation capable of exercising a sanitary influence over the blood must with it be carried to every living fibre of the frame. The lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, and skin, all receive benefits from its more wholesome condition. Holloway's Purifying Pills operate directly, powerfully, and beneficially upon the whole mass of blood, whether venous or arterial. They strengthen the stomach, excite the liver and kidneys, expel diseases, and prolong existence. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT A VESTRY MEETING.—A very extraordinary scene took place at a vestry meeting re- cently held at Wye, for the purpose of appointing church- wardens and sidesmen for the ensuing year. The Rev. Mr. Tuke, the incumbent, who ocupied the chair, nominated Mr. James Tassel as his churchwarden, when Mr Drax, M.P., contended that the parishioners had the power of electing both churchwardens. This power they had for many years exercised, and they were determined to resist the pretensions of the incumbent. Mr. Drax said that the opinion of the So- licitor-General was that the question of churchwardenship was a matter of law, and must be decided in a court of law. He (Mr. Drax)therefore nominated Mr. Beaney and Mr. W. Tassell.—Captain Davis seconded the moti >n, which the in- cumbent refused to put to the meeting.—Mr. Drax submitted that he was bound to put the motion.—Lord Winchilsea (the patron of the living) said the chairman was not bound to do so. All these qnarrels were very unseemly. Let them settle the matter by going to law. (Hear) Ha would bear the expense on the part of the incumbent and doubtless Mr. Drax, on the part of the parish, would bear the expense on the other side.—Mr.Drax: We are maintaining our an- cient rights, and it is not for us to go to law first; it is for you to proceed against us if you believe us wrong. You are usurping our ancient rights which we have exercised for more than 140 years. (Aplause^)—An angry altercation ensued, Mr.Drax stating that they would certainly send the two gentlemen they had proposed to be sworn in. The sidesmen were then proposed, and a torrific uproar ensued. Lord i Willchilsea said such behaviour was likely to lead to very serious consequences. He continued Should the clergyman become dtsgusted with the parish, and be obliged to give up the living inconsequense of these disgraceful annoyances I promise you I will not bring another gentleman among you t,) be subjected to them. You may go without a clergy- man you shall not have one of my appointing.— Mr.Drax: The chairman [ again say is bound as a public officer, to put that proposition to the meeting. It is not for him to sit there and judge whether it is right or wrong, and lay down the hw for us. T iprpfore if Lord Winchilsea-who has made a most viob fit and altogether uncalled for attack upon me will support him if he goes to law, I will bear the expense on the part of the parish, and I think my purse will be found as long as that of any other gentleman. (Cheers.)
