WESTMINSTER INFIRMARY FOR THE EYES. -ill■•••-- A Meeting in aid of this valuable Institution, trek place at the Thatched House Tavern, on Saturday, the' Duke of WELLIN . GTON in the Chair. His Grace briefly stated that the object of the Meeting was to promote a subscription to an amount which should enable them to perpetuate the benefits of this Infiimary, by building an Hospital for its uses. Persuaded as he was of the great utility of an institution of this nature, he could not do otherwise than recommend it to the attention of the humane. All ages and classes were admitted to a participation in its benefits, from the infant who came into the world with the organs of sight imperfect, to the veteran who became afflicted with disease in the service of his country. His Grace proceeded to state, that since the opening of the Infirmary in 1817, no less than 9,527 persons had been cured and relieved. Before the Meeting broke up. subscriptions were announced to the amount of nearly four hundred pounds. The Duke of WU, LIXGTOX and the Marquis of Lomicommtas subscribed 501. each. _ Among the distinguished persons present, were Lord Bann. roars, the Marquis of LONDONOKIIIIT, Sir J. Swmauo.ma, Colonel WOOD, Mr. Bssn, and Sir JAnts M‘Gosoott.. Letters from Accra, Africa, state that the nephew of the KING of the Ashantees, has been taken prisoner by the British. At the date of the last accounts, he was a prisoner at Accra ; no further accounts are given. The Cape Coast was sickly. Bombay Papers have arrived to the 26th ult. one of which contains the official account of the capture of the Fort of Kittoor. It appeals that after the capitu lati in had been agreed upon, our troops were refined admission, in consequence of which the attack recom menced, and possession was finally taken by force.— Intelligence had reached Bombay from Singapore, of the death of the King of SIAM. Dispatches; dated the 21st of March, have been re. eeived from Major-General Sir BRNJAMIN D'Uanau, at Demerara. They state, that the Colony was perfectly tranquil, and that everything was going on well. The REcoanga is expected to make his Report, in l the course of the week, to the Km in Council, of the prisoners capitally convicted during the April Sessiuns, at the Old Bailey. Faa.notonr FAIL—The late Easter Fair is the first since a long time that the s-llers have not been heard to complain. However difficult it may be to make a tradesman confess that he is content with his gains, it was impossible to conceal that large profits were made from wool; that the prices of English, Saxon,and Swiss goods bad increased; and lastly, that leather was in great demand : cloths were by no means so much in request. Gold trinkets were very much in demand, and in this branch the jewellers bad an assortment of very tasteful articles: the sale proves that they conti nue more and more to obtain the preference to those of base metal, which in large towns are used only by the lower class. The next autumnal fair promises to be equally favourable to the retail dealers. Fiiday the Pacific cleared the London Docks, and sailed down the River, with a party of Officers and Assistants, for the Rio de la Plata Association's Agri cultural Settlements near Buenos Ayres. Mr. J. M. Hoban, who was seat out by the Greek Committee, Ito assist Lord By RON in his arrangements for the Greeks, land his family, were of the party, as Settlers on the Society's lands. During the passage of the HERALD to the West In dies, the Lord Bishops of JAMAICA and BARBADOES, preached every Sunday morning and afternoon to the Officers and Crew of that ship. It was certainly the first time that two English Bishops ever voyaged toge ther in a British man-of-war, to take possession of their benefices ; and this exercise of their solemn func tions, presented what no pulpit in England ever did— two Bishops preaching to the same congregation in one day. The Island ofJunaica, the Bahama Islands, and the Settlements in the Bay of Honduras, and their respective dependencies, constitute the Bishop's See of Jamaica, subordinate to the Archiepiscopal See of the province of Canterbury. The manuscript Homer, upon Papyrus, recently brought to England by Captain CLIPIORD, brother the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, contains only the last or twenty-fourth Book of the Iliad. The most remarkable feature connected with this ancient and invaluable ma nuscript is, that there are accents, which must have been added by a later hand. Friday, or rather Saturday morning, Mr. PETER MOORS, with consent of Ministers, introduced his Bill for altering and amending the 6th Geo. I. chap. 18, commonly called the Bubble Act. It was read a first ordered to be read a second time on the 13th of May, and to be printed. The Reporters had left the Rouse before the Orders of the Day, which preceded notices, were commenced. Although the principal part of the public business has been gone through in Parliament, it is supposed that the present Session will not terminate before the last week in June, owing to the unexampled quantity of private business which yet remains to be transacted. A melancholy accident i , ccurred on Tuesday last, at Huddersfield, in raising the roof of the new-built Inde pendent Chapel. The crank which supported the plat form on which the men were at work broke, and four men were killed, and rine others seriously bruised, several of whom are not expected to recover. The last seasonable rains have had. the Most favour able effect upon all the operations of agriculture.— On vegetation, in and about London, their influence has been almost instantaneous. COURT Oi CHANCERY, APRIL 29.—ATHERTON V. Peas.—This was a motion submitted on a former day, by Mr. Straowat.c, on behalf of Mr. Justice Park and others, for further time to answer, under peculiar circumstances. The matter was then postponed, in order that Mr. Cowburn, the Solicitor, might amend his a ffi davit. The affidavit was now amended, an d after hearing Mr. SCADWILL, and Mr. Biccsarrirro, his Lordship granted six weeks, instead of three months, for time to answer. '7 , 7" •••,••••(•-•• • iIIFEW'r 't .• w . ANTI-SLAVERY s o ClErt • •• Saterday, the second Annual Meeting of this Society, whose object is the gradual abolition of slavery through-_ out the . firitiih Empire, wss held at the Freemasons' Tavern. The meeting was very numerously attended. The Duke of GLoucurEa took the Chair, and opened the business of the meeting. The Report was then read. Lard CALTHORPK felt highly gratified Sy the Report just read, and it was with peculiaeseisfaction that he moved its adoption by the meeting, 4 The Society had not had recourse to exaggeration—the statement of cruelties they contained were unfortunately too true, and in the West India Islands, were treated as matters of indifference, or of unavoidable necessity. Lord MILTON rose to second the motion. He was aware that the abolition of slavery could not be the work of a moment, but he could not but feel that this country, in having entered upon the subject by abolish ing the slave trade, had pledged itself to the ultimate extinction of slavery. Mr. W. SMITH, M.P. felt highly gratified by what he had that morning heard and seen. There had been scarcely any man of eminence for years part but had concurred in declaring the necessity of the emancipa tion of the negro population. Among the eminent persons who had advocated this measure, were Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Granville Sharpe, and the illustrious statesmen, Mr. Pitt and Mr. Fox. The spe..ker con 'eluded by moving the second Resolution, expressive of the sense the meeting entertained of the merits of Mr. Wilberforce. (Its reading was followed by long continued acclamations). Mr. F. Burrow, M.P. seconded the motion in a' speech of considerable length, in the course of which he dwelt with much warmth upon the numerogs excel-1 lencies of the public and private life of Mr. Wilberforce. The motion was CATlie I by acclamation. Mr. Wu. WILBIRFORCZ returned thanks for the honour conferred on his father. He was evidently much affected, and was received throughout with the most cheering sympathy. Mr. Bnotxmast said, he felt great satisfaction in meeting his brethren of this Society, and the more so from the prosperous state of the cause; for although nothing had been done to better the condition of the Slave during the last year, although true it was that the only event was the deeply to be regretted one of the retirement of their great and venerable friend, Mr. Wilberforce, yet still he felt confident hopes of ultimate success. T hey had been told again and again, that slavery was a tree which it would not do for them rashly to lay the axe to ; but that they 'must be content to destroy this upas by slow degrees, by laying bare its roots, and by withholding from it its necessary supply of water, and of air, and thus procuring its gradual decay. In other words, that it WAS to be a work slowly and cau tiously proceeded with; and that if we would leave the planters and proprietors to themselves, for one short year, they would proceed to meliorate--tgradually to abolish the state of their bondsmen. We did wait the required time ; and what has been the result of our waiting? What have they done more than we expected they would do ?—that is nothing ! They have gone on, suffering month after month to pass over them, without making any effort, till at list the sun had performed its annual revolution, and had seen nothing throughout its whole course, but misery to the African race. They fad forfeited their pledge, and hence had rendered it imperative on the meeting to proceed vigorou , ly to wards the atta inment of the end proposed. He had said that the planters bad been doing nothing—true it was they had been doing nothing for themselves, but had been doing much for the Society. He thought it was their positive duty, and one which he would cheerfully perform, to give notice during this Session of Parlia ment, t hat if the planters continue in their lethargy during the whole of the long vacatiott, that the first week of the new Session a Bill would be brought for ward for the purpose of effecting that for the Negroes which their short-sighted masters ought - to have per formed. If he should be the party bringing forwent, this motion, he trusted it would not be thought by &IN planters that be was inimical to their interests, for he should do it out of no opposition to them, but because he felt that man and despotism were incompatible tor. ther, and ought never to co-exist. —la conformity with these sentiments, he should submit the third Resolution. (The Learned Gentleman was repeatedly cheered in the course.of his speech). Mr. 'NUMMI rose with the utmost satisfaction to second the motion of his Learned Friend. As one ob- ject of their meeting was the doing homage to Mr. Wi lberforce, it would be wronging the known chatacter of that illustrious individual, if they were to depart with out attempting to do some practicable good. (In the course of his speech the Learned Gentleman espied Mr. O'Connell in the body of the Hall, and mentioned the fact to the Meeting. who rose en maw, and insisted on Mr. O'Connell taking a seat on the platform. This he did amidst shouts of applause). Mr. Wurrimaz moved the fourth Resohtdoo. Mr. &ens seconded the motion. Mr. Rare passed a warm eulogy on the late Mr. Grimelle Sharpe, who he said was a man of whom it might be truly said, that " his witness was in Heaven, and his praise not of men, but of Goo." Dr. Luseusolop, in a most a►le speech, advocated the object of the Seelety, and concluded by moving the fifth Resolution. Mr. °Toxemia. rose, amidst great applause.—l have been called upon, said the Learned Gentleman, to ad dress you most unexpectedly ; but I do hate despotism so cordially, I do hate slavery so vehemently, I do de test tyrants so strongly, that I could not refuse to second a motion, that has for its object to strike from the Negro his chains, and from the Briton his reproach. I (Applause).—Yes, while I live, I will wage war with despotism, and if my expiring effort cannot reach the dignity of a blow, it shall at least wear its sem 'blance, and, dying, I will bequeath to my offspring the spirit to struggle for liberty. Who is there that hear of the cruelties of the Slave Trade but must execrate pit? and the time I trust will come when the man would not dare to appear in society who avowed himself its advocate.—May I mention Bolivar, the glorious Boli var ! whose name shall be weighed by posterity with that of Washington, than whom a greater cannot be I named. And can it be supposed that these examplei trill go no further ? Think you the negro will wear his. ' sibling content, in the neighbourhood where the poet and the hero are to be found of the same cast ? Slavery ! accursed slavery! it is a blot on our escutcheon, and One which the waters of the Atlantic cannot wash out. Accept my thanks for my reception, it is after the manner of Englishmen ; who are ever ready to exaggerate merit, however humble, when employed in an honourable and praiseworthy cause. Sir J. SILIIII6IIe moved a vote of thanks to the Illustrious Chairman, which having been seconded and acknowledged, the iderting dissolved. 46.

' SPORTING AA'TELLI&ENCE: NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING. WIIIDAT A FTtlllio..". This being the last of the Spring Meetitigs, and to rear the events of the Derby and Oaks Stakes at Epsom, is always consi dered the most inferior meeting of the year• we cannot, therefore, to expect great an influx of Nobility and Gentry as at the Craven and other Meetings; indeed, there are not any stakes of that mag nitude to attract the admirers of the turf, or the leg& The interest of the former is in the number and amount of the stakes to be contested, and the celebrity of the horses; and of the latter in the scope afforded them for speculation; but in the present week's races, neither the one nor the other can expect anything extraordi nary, the stakes being comparatively mall, and the field limited. Notwithstanding, however, the general shyness which usually pre vails at this Meeting, some good sport is augured, from the spirit which has lately prevailed amongst the first raters, in matching their horses, and which, we have reason to believe, will again be the cue. His Royal Highness the Duke of York, their Graces the Dukes of Rutland, Grafton, Portland, and Richmond, and several others of the Nobility, are hourly expected. Lord and Lady Anson are already arrived. The Heath will lose its principal attraction_this week, as many of the Epsom horsed are already gone or going. It is expected by good judges here, that fifteen hones will start for the Derby, and twelve for the UAL& On these stakes some changes in the betting are not very improbable, it being stated that there are several good horses hi training at Epsom, many of them likely to start, and two or three of them, it is thought, will Imam favourites.
