SO.VERS'-TOWN CATHOLIC CHARITIES. Yesterday the Anniversary Dinner of these excel lent Charities was held at the Freemasons Tavern, his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex in the Chair. At a little after six o'clock the Royal Chairman, ac• companieJ by Lord CLIFFORD, and several other Noblemen and Gentlemen, the friends of the Cha rity, entered the Grand Hall, where they sat down to an excellent dinner. The company was n.,t very numerous, consisting of only about 150 Gentlemen, but it was highly respectable. After the cloth was retiloved, Non Nohis Domine was sung in good style, by several. musical amateurs who attended. After the usual toasts had been give .1, His Royal Highness the Duke of Stissrx prop°• sed , c Pros;Jerky to the two Catholic Establishments at Somers'-Town"—:hat of Miss Trelawney's lb-wil ing; and that which was attended to by Mrs. Lynch. He said, he put the Establishment under Miss Tie lawney's care first, because in its nature and object it was the more important of the two. In that Esta blishment upwards of 100 little girls were educated, clothed, lodged, and led, , and after a certain time were put in an honest way of providing for them selves; and this principally by the benevolent exer- , tiOns of the young Lady whose name he had men tioned, assisted, however, by the kind contributions of a number of voluntary subscribers. The other Establishment was chiefly fur the education of boys, and though it did not yet accomplish all the goad which had resulted from the other, yet it was one of peat importance, and highly deserving the support of the pubiic--(Applatt:4.—Tlie great end, and that which _to him akiared as the most important those Charities, * Was the means of education which they afforded to those who had no other means of ac qniring it. Upon this subject of general education, the:e was at present, he was . happy to say, almog but one opinion. The question was, not whether the children of the poor should receive the benefits of education, but how the means of bestowing it might lac best acquired ?—(hear, kecr)—These child:en, it was true, wete. educated in a particular religion, but it was t'ie religion of their parents; and, as he had oe.en be or.e sail, upon occasions similar to the pre sent, as the law of the land prevented a Ca:ll°lk from giving instruction to any but in their own com munion, it was but just that they should be encou raged in so giving it. Ills Royal Highness then en- Med into a warm and eloquent description of the happy results which might be anticipated from a ge. *heal dissemination of the principles of morality and religion; and conclodedumidst loud cheers by giving the toast as above. It was received in the most en. thasiastie manner, and drank with three times three. The.&ewards then withdrew in order to accom pany the p:ecession of the children into the room. This consisted of about one hundred fine little girls, dad in the costume of the Institution, whose appear mice and demeanour clearly indicated the great ale, tention which had been paid to them in every respect.) About .50 boys belonging to the day-school followed in , regular order. As soon as the little groupe had taken their places, C. Bertea, Esq. rose, and addressed the Meeting in nearly the following words Gentlemen, after , the eloquent address which you have just heard from year illustrious President, in behalf of charity in general, and of these Es:a; lishments in particular, I feel it unnecessary to trespass on your time at any length. Indeed any thing which I can say must fall short of what you have heard from the Royal Duke, who has on this occasion, as upon every other, proved himself not less by actions than by wont., the friend of every institution which has for its object the im provement of his fellow. inen•—(Loud applause)—. Most f o rtunate, indeed, it would have o for these poor, but virtuous and happy little girls, if, instead of having their cause entrusted, as it now is, to my feeble exertions, I could have tal:ca you all to the Institution which you are this day solicited to pa troaize, and placed it and its inmates under your own eyes. hi my way to it, I should have led you through those greets and alleys, in which, if this refuge had not been found for them, most of the little girls whom you now see before you, would in all probability have been at this moment. I should have desired you to observe the wretched girls with veli:Ji these art filled, their bold and livid looks, their raga, their filth, their idleness, their lawlessness, their profana tions of the name of Goo, their ribaldry, their ge neral contamination, and their despair: hopeless of comfort in this 14—heedless of their lot in the next —and, haviftg placed fully before you these disgust ing, I may try, these terrible little girls, I should have • exclaimed-4s this shaman? dear tenerable woman 1 designed by her native softness and gentle ness tia'endear ctornestiell?fe 'to irlais, to make virtue lovely, to instil its first lessons, to he the soother of cave; the coMptiSer - of ftrifo:—ii . this Worrini?-•—Tuin ing from this aillietins''scene; I' sbotild: have carried yon on with the Co Sioniers'Tovrn.

Thus the day of these chil &tit isegiiistiiiit it closes. The whole of it is spent in the tasks and toils which ought in every school to %toile &mpl4yment of girls, who are to get a liven heitid by bald 'labour, in the humble walks of life.

About one hundred girls are thus cloathed, fed, boarded, and taught—about the same number of poor destitute boys •receive jai struction at a dray school, patronised by another charitable Lady, whose name is also written in the HEAVENS; they too stand before you, and it is in tended that the school, at which they are thus in structed, should partake of the collection solicited this day. Let me, Gentlemen, now mention to you, in a few words, how these poor children are in structed. The necessity of submission, of obedience. of a punctual and cheerful discharge of service, is incessantly inculcated upon them. They arc taught to be satisfied with the lot, in which it has pleased PROVIDENCE to place them; and, in all they do, to look for their model, to Him, who, while he was the adoration of angels, and equal in all things to his DIVINE FATHER, was pleased to pass for the son of a carpenter, and to work for thirty years with his sacred hands, at the trade of his reputed lathere.e. Thus they are educated for hard workiag and un looked on, but decent, virtuous, and contented in dustry ; to toil, to be trusty, to be obedient, and to he cheerful. There is not, perhaps, a Charity School in England, where more is learned, or more or har der work is done, than is learned and done by those little girls ; but the look which is given them is always so kind, the word addressed to them is always so of the command is always so considerate, and the bit and the bridle which restrain and guid.i them are always so regularly and steadily, but so gently managed, that though they are under the very strictest government, and the learning of their tasks and the performance of their work, are most rigidly required, they are ever cheerful and cone tented —(aerplause.) When the night comes, every girl feels she has spent a happy day, wishes for ano ther and another of the same kind ; but at the same time considers, with regret, a possible breaking up of the Institution—for, lientlemen, want has some times knocked at the door, and threttened wish a kind cf horror the total annihilation r of this most valuable asylum. Gentlemen, they now appear be fore you, and thus address you through the All you,' they say, on whom PROVIDENCE has bestowed the good things of this life, long, very long may you enjoy them I But be not angry if we entreat you to think a little upon us. Such as we are, we now humbly stand before you. You see us comfortable! You see us happy ; but if you withhold your kind ness to us, our comfort and our happiness will be at an end—want and wretchedness will advance to Ake us, and the enemy of Goo-and man will endeavour to make us his prey. Poor, lowly, and destitute as we are, still we are the images cf Goo. By Him, whose images we are ; by Him, our ALMIGHLT THER, who is in Ileaven, we entreat you to look upon us with compassion, and furnish our Benefic tress, (Goo eternelly bless her) with the mess of continuing her kindness to us, and extending it to other children—(Loud applause.) We are now no thing ! We are less than nothing ; hut, when the last day shalt come, and in your flesh you shall see Goo, we too shall be there.—eve will accompany you to the dreadful Tribunal—we will stretch out our arms to Him, who is to judge you—we will cry aloud, 0 Goo! be merciful to these our benefac tors. When we were hungry, they gave us to eat; when we were thirsty, they gave us to drink ; when we were cold and shivering they gave us raiment. If we learned thy holy law, and blessed thy holy name, it was owing to them. Now, therefore, 0 good and merciful COD, we implore the performance -of the promise which you made or. earth ; be thou merciful to our benefactors, as they were kind, in thy name terms:—(Loud applause.)—Such, Gentlemen, will be the language ot the children on that important day. Not all the harps of all the Angels will then, to poor, trembling man, afford so sweet a sound, as the voice of a single child that pleads in his favour. Receive them, therefore, into your arms. The food, the raiment, the instruction which they want, Gen has put into your hands: you must not, cannot, will not withhold it from thee—( l '4e conclusion 11' errs Address Iva:followed with lowland cantinaed applause.) I The children having then left the room in the same order in which they entered, Lord Ctireento rose and proposed the health of d the Royal President, upon whose great zeal and uace.-ei ing exertions in the cause of charity he passed a very animated and eloquent panegyric. This was received with loud acclamations, arel I 'drank with three times three. His ROYAL HIGHNESS returned thanks for l usanner in which his Noble Friend had mentioned 'his name, and for the cordial manner in which it had been received. He assured the Meeting, that, con- i vinced as he was that the greatest blessing which could come upon a nation would be that of having .the benefits of religious education generally en - fused' Ames ail classes, be should, to the latest pmied of ' 3laxstos House.—Yesterday an Irish. la'aourer, named Steuitiey, was brought up, charged upon the following evidence : Mr. Huhn, landlord of the Horns public house, Upper Thames-street, deposed, that two of his children went on Tuesday afternoon I to play at Allhalows-stairs, near which the prisoner was working in a barge. They had been•there but a few moments when ha•sndifenly hurled a large stick, sharpened at the end, towards them. The point of the stick struck the youngest child (about three years cld) in the neck, just under the ear, and perforated a considerable depth. The child fell senseless, and was conveyed home in that state. Tile prisoner had frequented the Horns occasionally, and a few days ago the witness bad been compelled to force hint out of the bons, for riotous conduct. A certificate frcrii the surgeon attending the child stated, that it was in a state of immir.ent danger. Had the stick pene trated only the thickness of a batik-note deeper, in stant death must have ensued. The prisoner said he did not intend to hit the child. He wasremauded until the fate of the child could be ascertained. • Abraham Jacobs, an extensive dealer, residing in Petticoat-lane, was charged as follows :—ln the night of the 14th of April last, the premites of Mr. Young, paper manufacturer, in Carter-lane, Tooley-street, were broken into, and paper to a large amount taken away. Since that period the officers had been ac tively engaged in endeavoui ing tc trace the property, and a few days since a part of it to tie value of about £9O, was found at the house of a respectable ti ados man in Aldgate, who said he purchased it of the pri soner. The latter being applied to, cold give uo sa tisfactory account of the possession, and was there fore taken into custody. He was fully committed for trial at the ensuing Sm-rey Assizes. Bail t -my amount was tendered, but refused. LAunsiv-sritarr.---Yesterday John Watson, a young gan, whose address and appearance bespoke that of Mpectability, was brought up for final exa mination, charged, in several instances, with being a common utterer of forged 'ldes, and defrauding the Governor and Company of the Bank of t ngland.-- Mr. Samuel Henry Lean, watch -maker, of 17, Old street, St. Luke's, being sworn, said, that on tLe even ing of the 24th of _April the prioner came into his shop, dressed in quite a different stye to that in which he appeared before the Magistrate, and bar gained for a silver watch worth four guineas, and of fered £3. 10s. for it, which being lei used, he left the shop; bat shortly after returned and tendered 1.3 lfis. for the watch, which was received, and he went away. Soon after, it was ascertained that the three notes were all counterfeit. Information-was instantly forwarded to the Police, with a description of the pri soner's person, and he was taken into custody, at which time a person in a dress similar to that which the prisoner wore on purcha,siay the watch was with him, but he escaped. r;laseautor identified the prisoner. Several other witnesses, under similar circumstances, identified him. The Solicitor of the Bank attended in support of the prosecution; and also Mr. Christ mas, the inspector, on c ash, proved the whole of the' news produced to be forgeries. The prisoner pro tested that he was innocent, and exclaimed—" My life has been sworn away !"—He was fully committed, THAMES Poaice.--Yesterdiy Charles Williams, dealer in marine stores, and who, it was stated, had hitherto borne a respectable character, residing in' King -street, ltotherhitite., was charged with having received S cwt. of rope ship tackling, the property o f joint Walker ' a pilot, knowing the same to have been stolen. The facts, as they appeared in evidence, are as follows :—On - the 2d inst. Mr. Walker left the rope in the hold of a cutter, with the hatches down and properly secured. On the 4th he found the. hatches forced open, and the property stolen ; he gave information at this Office, and subsequently ascer tained that a quantity of rope answering the descrip tion was in the possession of Mr. Williams, whose , premises he caused to be searched, and there found it, besides a quantity of other rope of which he could give no account. On Monday last the case came on', ,to be heard, and Mr. Williams came forward volun tarily ; but the Magistrate, on hearing the case, coin- mitted him till now, when he seas finally brow ; ht up. Mr. ALLE? and Mr. Paws attended to defend him, and strongly contended that the property came ho nestly into his possession ; that he had purchased it of a man, whom however they were unable to bring forward ; but they had a bill of parcels and a re ceipt for £3O. 19s. Id. which he was paid for the :::p:.!.—The Magistrate said he would give the defen dant an opportunity of of clearing up the imputation against him at the Sessions ; hut he would requ;re ' him to find two sureties in £lOO each, and himself in a;; , 200, to answer to the charge.—A second charge was preferred against him, under the Buinboat At, !for having at the same time in his posiession a guar., i city of rope of which he could not give a satisfactory I account. _. - PRICE OE BITLLION.POriII" , aI Gold, in coin, /A.. 0 I ls. 6d.--.Foreign Gold, in bars, Li.
