      members of Mr . G . W . Martin ' s National Choral Society , drawn ( to specify then- topographical venue ) from the IT ., K . W ., nnd AV . C . postal . districts of the metropolis , among whom . were some of the most cflicient co-operators in MjvMarfcin ' a grand performances of . prize glees and choral part-songs at Exeter-hall and the Crystal Palace The programme contained Mr . Martin ' s national par ^ song , "The Volunteers ' Choral March , singularly appropriate for the use of hi 3 ' = Volunteer Choral Society , lor the singing of part-songs while on the march . These national choral unions , which owe their conception and origin to Mr . Martin , bid fair to become , under his efficient directorship and eminently successful methods of organisation , the most important associations of the kind that hare ever been established . The other national part-songs of Mr . Martin ' s composition given by the choir were ^ . llie Army and Ifavj , " " Our Saxon Fathers , " "Defence , not Defiance ; " "The Rifle , " and in addition , » The Xutional Anthem , " as harmonised by Mr . Martin . The hall was literall y crammed ( though not to suffocation , as the ventilatory appliances are excellent ); a Teat portion of the audience consisted of Volunteers in full uniform ' and the applause elicited by these spirit-stirring , pieces not to speak it profanely , bore the strongest resemblance to thunder which the human voice could perhaps be made to assume . Mr . Martin and Mr . Olhvier , the manager of the concert , appeared in uniform as Volunteers .

      The Clifton Suspension Bridge. We See Th...

      THE CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE . WE see that the company which has been formed for the carrjin <* out of this enterprise , is prosecuting it in a vigorous and successful manner . They have completed arrangements with Sir Greville bmyth , a landowner possessed of extensive and valuable estates on the Somersetshire side of the river , and who , in consequence of the ' advantages accruing to his property from the erection of the bridge , has agreed , to take £ 2 , 500 worth of shares , and to make a gratuitous contribution of the like sum to the funds of < lie company . Thus aft or allowing for the purchase of the chains of the Huniyerlord -bridge and the expease of piers , no less a proportion of the £ 35 , 000 capital than six-sevenths , or £ 30 , 000 may be considered as virtually realised The bridge , when finished , will be 30 feet in width , and G 00 feet in length and its completion may be looked forward to at no very distant period The progress of the matter through Parliament has , we understand , been smoothed , and the way paved for the sanction of the Legislature - indeed , no feasible opposition to so excellent a project , and one so calculated to promote public convenience , and to the already abundant attractions of Clifton , could well bo antici pated . The facilities and accommodation it will afford to the neighbourhood , are manifest . Its indirect as well as its direct advantages as a medium of " thoroughfare and communication" between the counties of Somerset and Gloucester can hardly be too highly estimated . The unrivalled beauty of the ' neighbouring scenery—we allude to Leigh-woods and Nightengale V alley m particular—is well known ; and to this favoured spot the bridge will aflbrd a direct cut . Thus a variety of " interests " will be benefited by tho bridge in more ways than o * ne . We observe many good names in the provisional committee . The offices of the company are 53 , Parliament-street , London ; and Captain C . Claxton , R . N is the secretary .

      THK BRITISH SYRIAN RELIEF FUND . A NOBLER and more affecting spectacle it is impossible for the imagination to conceive than a people uniting for the relief of human misery , and banded together for the production of human good ; soothing tho sufferings nnd tin ? sorrows of those whose anguish tor tho cruel bereavement of relations tho most dear to them is onhoncecl by the uttor ruin of their fortunes and their hopes . Tho expression which Burke applied to India , " It was a nntion stretching out ; its hand for food , " is applicable to tho sufferers from tho Syrian disturbances nnd massacres . Some idea of ilio widespread misery produced by these harrowing ovents , muy be formed from tho following statement of facts : — "Tho following statoment indicates the ox tout and variety of tho Buffering's for tho relief of which tho eommittco address this appeal to British Immunity . Ono hundrod nnd fifty towns and villages hnvo been pillaged and burnt with the churched , pulriurehutes , monasteries , schools , the orops , silk factories , & o . ; also thowholo of tho Christian liousi's in Dumasoud destroyed ( a city itself ) , including tho European Doneulates . Sixteen thousand Christians havo boon killod , including ho men , women , nnd ohildren , murdered in cold blood . Among those ¦ vho wore thus assassinated , ! wero Mr . Graham and othor missionaries . Seventy thousand toeighty thousand persons , including twonty thousand vidows and orphans , loft homeless and starring . Upwards of 20 000 efugees tiro daily receiving relief at Boyrout alone . '

Joint"Sto ^ Bank ; London and County Bank , % ? i £ " ?• ^ of Inlan d , and all its branches ; the Ottoman Bank arid the National Bank of Scotland , and all its branches . Ihere never was a case ( not excepting ' that which arose out of the Indian mutiny ) which appealed so strongly to the benevolence of the British public . In the presence of a corrupted Mohammedanism , and of a blood- feud , which has existed for ages , exacting life for life , without discrimination ; in the absence of enlightened education and free institutions , the British people have now an opportunity of influencing the mind of a nation by an example far more impressive than preaching or teaching of the transcendentl y benign tendency of Christianity , which will thus be seen to compel its disciples , as by an irresistible moral law "to attend to the neglected , and to remember the forgotten . Great events are evidently looming in the future of Syria it will bo to tho honour of every civilized nation to have borne a part in preparing this long misgoverned country for the benefit of a better regime .
