The Literary Fund Society was estab- lished in 1790, and in 1798 the first. anniversary din- ner took place, since which period it has pursued an uninterrupted career of usetulness. The object of this society is to administer to the wants of the un- fortunate scholar, and it is said that some of the brightest ornaments of English literature are behold- ento its bounty. During the last half century this admirable institution has appropriated to the relief of the peculiar objects of the charity the sum of £27,- $28, und 1985 grants have been bestowed upon up- ward of 1000 applicants. During the last year the re- ceipts were, £211 the whole of which has been distributed.

She isnow a widow, at an advanced age, and resides at the vil- lage of ‘Tranent, in Haddingtonshire, with two un- married daughters, who endeavor to support her by the exercise of their needles. She is a decent look- ing old person, with a gcod deal of the poet’s pliysi- ognomy, and particularly his fine dark eyes. The youngest of William Burn’s children, she was twelve years old at the time when he died at Lochlea, a broken-spirited man. She was one of the household at Mosgiel during its oceapaney by Robert and Gil- bert Burns in succession, and she afterwards 1 ried a person named Begg, who, for ten years, ducted the business of Gilbert's farm, of Dunning, on the estate of Sir Charle: Monteath, of Close burn.

At sunset there could not be less than 200,000 persons in the town, and the booths, shows, and refreshment-houses, were filled to overflowing. The steamers again ‘ied down vast numbers during the day, and the breeze on the tiver must have contributed as much to the health of the Londoners as the amusements in the royal park and the fair did to their good humor and hilar- ity. The watermen’s ting pier was ascene of great bustle from an early hour till late at night; steamer after steamer landed and carried a immense number of persons, and the decks were waded to excess. T! siness done at the “solid pier” was also very great. ‘The money expended in the town by the holiday folks has been immense. At one time on Monday evening it appeared as if the iation of the metropolis been transterred reenwich, and the streets were almost impass- le, while the fair was so crammed with the people that itw matter of great difficulty to get through it at all, and confusion was worse confounded. All the shows and booths were closed at 12 o’elock—a regulation very conducive to good order. A number of rival Panches ex! d their antics at the corners of the principal streets, hurdy-gurdys, barrel-organs, pandean pipes, and penny trumpets, kept up tinual din, to the great delight of the people. ardson’s Theatre and the famed Crown and Anchor booth are upon a very extensive scale this year. ‘The conduct of the multitudes who have visited Greenwich during the last three days has been as orderly as possible, consistent with the mirth and fay which always prevail at Easter and Whitsun- tide.

Macready has brought out “ Marino Faleiro” at Drury Lane; they are doing German Opera at Co- vent Garden, and French plays at St. James. Macready and Miss Helen Faucit set off on a provincial tour immediately after the closing of Dru- ty Lane Theatre for the season on, Monday next, Night after night Miss Kemble fills the theatre in Hawkins street, Dublin, to overflowing. | From far and near the lovers of song are pouring in to catch the thrilling tones of its most gifted votary. Ancient Concrrts.—The Duke of Wellington will give a dinner to the Directors of the Ancient Concerts on Wednesday next. His Grace has en- saged the following singers for the performance on that evening, which will be. under his direction :— Madame Caradora Allen, Miss Birch, Miss Hawes, Signor Mario, Messrs. Hobbs, Harrison, [fawkins, Giubilei and Phillips. ‘The Socialists in Liverpool have been compelle from want of funds, to give up the building “'Phe Hail of Seience,” which is now in the hands of the original proprietors, who have changed the name to that of the ** Nelson Assembly Kooms,” ious exposure of the state of the theatrical in the provinces was made a few weeks since Plymouth ‘Theatre. Mr. Hay, the manager of that cireuit, has just resigned the theatrical mat agement at Plymouth into the hands of the corpor: tion, from whom hehad leased it, and they, in eon- sequence of its non-saecess, are about to use the building for other than theatrical purposes. In tak- ing his of a Plymouth audience, Mr. Hay en- tered at i into the particulars of his manage- ment. He had, hi ,came to PI hh under the anspices of th an Motley ok Gonedaland Mrs. Ehice Sir George and Lad Whitmore, Major Palk, Sir H. Blackwood, and others, who had ab- solutely canvassed the town in his behalf, and taken every step in their power to secure his success. He brought to the theatre an admirable company; he had an. orchestra competent to perform operas, and Colonel Hamilton Smith gave him his. gratuitous servicesas a designer of scenery and embellishments. He also secured at different times the assistance of vious actors, including young Kean and Macready, who, he said, drew plenty of money, but unfortunate- ly took it all away with them. But despite all these auxiliaries, of few of which provincial boards ean take boast, Mr. Hay sustained a loss of from £30 to £10 a week during several successive seasons.— Mr. Hay entered into particulars of this loss. 17 brought out,” he said, “in this theatre a favorite opera, not only for the first time here, but for the first time in the provinces, and the receipts only a- mounted to 2s., while | paid £5 extra for an ef: ficient orchestra alone. “ ilamlet” had been played here toa house with 10s. in it, while the gas which is now glimmering around you cost me 2s, a night.” ‘These direful losses Mr. Hay attributed to various causes, Tuearnicat, Discrostres.—The following is an extract from the schedule of Mr. C. Mathews, filed in the Insolvent Debtors’ Court last week :— «The debtsin the aggregate, from December, 1837, are set forth at £27,499 17s. Wd. ; forwhich he had received consideration for £26,200 28, 1d; and the remainder relate to Madame Vestris. There is one debtor of £50, and about 220 creditors. Property in jewellery, &e., amounting to £200, has been Siven up; and there is a considerable quaatity of property mentioned in the possession of the proprie- tors of Covent-garden Theatre, who are inserted as sum of £6,166; and opposite the claim is a long statement of cireumstances con- nected with the undertaking of the establishment. The insolvency is attributed to several canses—to the loss incorred at the Olympic, to. the. failure of the engagements in America, to the expense of the voyage and outfit of the insolvent and his wife, to the loss sustained at Covent-garden Theatre, to law expenses, and t ravy amount paid for “ money accommodations” and interest. Sonre particulars are given of the trip in 1838, to America, showing thatethe whole amount received was only £1,750, and the expenses were considerable. An opinion maybe formed of the extent of “law matters” in mentioning that £1,500 have been already paid, and about three thousand pounds worth of law is set forth in the shape of debts, ‘The insolvent allowed Mrs. Matthews, his mother, £200 a year, and his wife allowed her mother a similar sum. “The sche ie has been drawn up by Messrs. Lewis, of Ely- place. ‘The statements detailing the specalations in Co- yent-garden Theatre present some striking features. The proprietors (Mr. Surman, Mr. ©, Kemble, Mr: Willett, and Captain John Forbes,) are inserted a& creditors for the amount already stated. ‘The thea- tre, according to the statement of Mr. Matt! was taken with an agreement to pay @ rental 5,000. to 7,000. a year, after deduclng Ol. a_ week tor himeelf and Madame Vestris.

Dean M 1 feel an inexpressible delight in enditing my first communication to your lady readers upon the fashions of the haut ton of this degaiete. So sud- denly and with such powerhas the sun lately shot forth that there is no end to invention in our Spring Fashions. ‘To begin then, let me. first speak of bonnets. Those most decidedly a-la-mode, are the chapeaux of paille de riz, which are trimmed with shaded ribbons, white in the cen- tre, gradually increasing in tone towards the edges. Pale blues, greens, und coleur dor, are most in vogue. For dress, 2 small pendant plume of shaded marabouts, light aga zephyr, is worn on the left side; while the right i trimmed With a noeud rosace of ribbon encircled with For the promenade, bouquet of hanging flowers (pale roses, violets, and primroses have the preference) is placed on the left side, and slight garniture of lace ix sometimes twisted with the ribbon across the bonnet, the corners of which are worn rather pointed. Leghorns are trimmed in the same style as the poille de riz, excepting that the colors are a tone deeper, to harmo- nize with the increased colour of the straw. White is but little worn at Lome ppe by our elegantes for the promenade, but st enjoys their patronage in our salons. An endless variety of orgundies balzarines have appeared 4s competitors for favors, to which, as demi toilettes, they ore justly entitled. For evening dresses, the Pekin and vatered menon ‘are the most fashionable kind of — ¥ mings of every description to the bottom of dresses appear to be waning, although for the fronts they are much employed. For these a new kind of varied silk gimp, plaite is used; butthe skirt must be plaitad in broad plai eep it well in view, as it ix otherwise apt to curve and fold rownd in walking. Mns- lin dresses are occasi eo with pale blue and rose silks, the sleeves of which are tight and trimmed with perpendicular rows of bouillonnee. Shawls will decidedly give place to scarfs and mante- lets, of which there is an endless variety—those a la Louis XIII. are especial favourites, but one cannot be comme i faut without another charming novelty-—for what i more chaste than the capuchin, which, as it brings into use any kind of lace you may have’ in your armoire, combines at once economy with elegance.

He wished to ask the Min- ister of Foreign Afiairsif he had received any ftesh intelligence on this head, and whether the French ailors, who had been unnationalised and made to serve in foreign vessels, had yet received permission to return to their country ? “ The Mixister oF Fo Arras (from his paeas There has not. been a single one treated as ihe noble peer asserts. j ‘The Marquis de Botssy——The right of rearch was compromising for dhe country. dangerous for its commercial mterests. id not certainly desire a wardeclared unnecessarily, but he thought the Government ought to decide on enereetic measures respecting the matter under discussion. Above all, that part of the treaty of 1833 which regarded the i er of cruisers, ought to be strictly insist- ed on. Vicount Dusoucnace considered that discussion had called forth one eco declaration from the Minister for Foreign Affairs—that the extension which the treaty of December, 1841, was intended togive to the treaties of 1831 and 1833, should not receive the ratification of the French Governnent, unless some new facts should come to light to autho- rise it. The noble peer declared that land was actuated in seeking this treaty by a desire to assume the sovereignty of the seas; that she had always tried to shut out neatral flags from any power on the sea,and had seized on every opportunity of maintaining her ght to search, even when she went as far back as blockading neutral ports, under the pretext of preventing them from aiding parties engaged in war. When these pretences were no longer to be invented, she came forward with cer- tain principles of philanthropy, and under cover of them endeavored to continne the same proceedings. The noble peer, in conclusion, said that the use of machinery having altogether done away with the necessity of the slaye trade in the French colonies, there was no longer any necessity for the right of , and that therefore France ought to with- «raw from any longer executing a treaty of which the character was evidently temporary, and fitted to circumseances whic! now ceased. ; The Minister or Foreten Arrams thought it necessary to make but one remark. No French sailors had ever been unnationalised, and obliged to serve in English vessels. No such fact had ever occurred x6 Baron Durin—Had the sailors who were arrested been restored to Fracce ? Tur Minisren oF Forrign Arrams—Every one. The Minister or Marine—No sailor had been arrested in the affair of the Marabout. 4 Baron Devin had spoken of the Sénégambie. ‘Phe Marquis de Ganriac considered that the part of the treaties of 1831 and 1838, which gave French judges to French traders, were sufficient guarantees against the vexations which might be exercised against them. All the facts alluded to. respecting the right of search, might be answered by this single one—viz., that their maratime com- merce had evidently prospered since the treaties were in force, and hence he concluded that the opi- nion which had represented them as injurious to their interests was altogether ill- Baron Durty could not consider the explanations which had been given as satisfactory. If there was no other fact but that ef the Sénégambie to be ad- duced, it would make the matter reper se- rious, , Jn the course. of the, next week other facts would be known, and then he should address the chamber to ascertain their veritable character. ‘The general discussion being closed, the cham- ber proceeded to the discussion of the articles.

The collation, a very rich and munificent one, was served in the state cabin, Among the sen- timents (in which the ladies were not forgotten), Captain Keane toasted the Belgian Government and her minister, when Mr. Surreys replied with“ the President and the American people.” In the midst of the hilarity, while Captain Tughes of our army, wasmaking a very pretty response, in behalf of the sense on his part, to a toast justgiven, it was an, nounced that the Great Western was alongside — “*My wife’s on board,” said the captain, when the company immediately went on deck ; the rigging was all manned, and three cheers were given to the Great Western. She came up in fine style. Captain Hoskin answered with his trumpet, the hail of Capt. Keane. Captain recognized, among the passengers, his beautiful wife, who stood upon the quarter deck of the Western, with her young boy in her arms, and ina few moments more they were more agreeably near. The interview was refreshing and afiecting, and all who were husbands and fathers were de- lighted. We wish the Captain and his lady refiewed and continued happiness, and hope the Queen and Western will always meeton sucha pleasant after- noon. Me. Van Buren i Lovisvinir, Kentucky.— Messrs, Van Buren and Paulding, those holy and de. vout pilgrims to the Mecca of humbug, had, at the last accounts, arrived at Louisville, Kentucky. They spent several days at Ashland, and were received with great consideration by Henry Clay. In another column, ovr Louisville correspondent gives a des- cription of the Louisville reception—and a very naive and curious anecdote of Lord Morpeth, who took to driving a stage in Kentucky one day, for his living or amusement. Apropos of Van Buren. Some ignorant and im- pudent writer in the “ New Era,” accuses us of falsehood, because we stated that Clay and Van Buren were at Saratoga together in 1839. If this “knowing chap” will read the newspapers of that year, he will find that Clay and Van Burenjsat at the same table, drank of the same wine—walked in the same promenade—and ‘appeared at the same ball to- gether—all in the unrivalled U. S. Hotel. We hap- pen to know the fact, because we saw them there for several days. It is an absolute falsehood to say that Van Buren wasin Washington, and would not invite Clay to Kindethook. Forruen Particucans or tHe Late Eartiquake. “We have received further interesting particulars of the late extraordinary earthquake. It was felt on the 7th ult. at Jeremie, but no damage sustained. The watet changed from 4 to 6 feet in the course of a few minutes, Whether,the tide rose and fell, or the island settled, and resumed its position again, and produced that effect, was subject of much specu- lation, The destruction of Cape Haytien was complete, only two buildings left standing. The earthquake happening on a market day, great‘numbers of per- sons were'in the city from the country, together with inules, so that the loss of life was greater. It was thought that 4000 persons perished, besides great numbers of mules and other animals, and snch was the stench arising from such, amass of dead bodies, that no person could long remain in the place. Tt is said. that Port au Platt was entirely destroyed, thoagh but few lives were lost. The mountain in the rear of St. Mares was rent asunder, so that teams passed through the aperture. Carrars Hoskty, or tae Grear Western.—We annex a very flattering letter sent to Capt. Hoskin, the rider of Fashion over the Atlantic course, by the gentlemen who came with him.

Mr. Eprron ‘The Maryland Cadets, to whom the beautiful prize flag was justly awarded, at the late encampment, have had a ‘ing and presented to their captain, Archer Ropes, a most magnificient and beautiful sword, as a token of their high regard for him as an officer and a gentleman. ‘To his thorough knowledge of military tacties, and inde- fatigable exertions in drilling the company, their success is ascribed in winning the priae. Captain Ropes possesses every quality calculated to make him esteemed by all who | may have the pleasure of his acquaintance. As was Wash- ington in the hearts of his countrymen, so is he in the hearts of the Cadets, and of hia fellow soldiery. ‘The flag to be presented the “ Lancaster Fencibles,” by a portion of the citizens, as a mark of esteem, is to be a very handsome affair, and will cost when finished nearly three hundred dollars. The only objection your corres- pondent can have to this move, is Pe pests it strange company is to have a flag as a token of esteem,why not give to others, invited fo the camp, who doubtless con- ducted themselves with equal decorum.
