Saturday a Special General Meeting of the Sup porters of the above Institution took place at the Free masons Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the Report of a Committee, appointed to take into consideration certain anonymous correspondence, which had ap peared in the Times Newspaper, impugning the prac ttces of the Institution, in the application of money en trusted to it for particular purposes. STURGES BOURNE, Esq. in the Chair, who having stated the object of the Meeting, IItVING BROCK, Esq. (one of the Committee of Ma nagement) read the Report, which occupied nearly t h ree quarters of an hour. It detailed the objects of the In stitution, and amount of the different items of expendi ture, in refutation of the article in the Times, which it represented as essentially incorrect in every particular, and as a tissue of false and ungrounded statements. A former Resolution of the Committee of Management, recommending the appointment of an Assistant Mana ger to the Institution, and the election of Mr. Bodkin to fill that o ffi ce, was also read. The Report also stated, that great advantages were derived to the Society from the unwearied exertions of Mr. Bodkin, who had, during the whole period he filled the appointment, been absent but four days, occasioned by severe indisposition. At , the conclusion, Lord SUFFIELD said, he was ill calculated to do jus tice to the object for which they had there assembled, labouring as he then was under severe indisposition ; but he had attended to do justice to himself, as having been an original framer of the appointment of an Assistant- Manager, and to give vent to feelings of satisfac tion at the good effects which had come to his know ledge of the excellent Institution which had been so wantonly attacked. It had seldom fallen to his lot to rise to address a public assembly arrayed against that power which, thank GoD, no man, however great .or exalted, can despise—the public Press ; and, though liven Majesty itself were open to its influence, he would stand there undaunted, and unfearing the gi fratness .of its power, whilst he was armed with the shield of •consoentious and honourable motives. Such, and no other; had brought him forward to-day, to testify the great benefit the Institution had derived, from the ser vices of the Gentleman whose appointment has been therrincipal point of attack, which was promulgated twthe world in the Times newspaper. The writer, for auglt he knew, may be in this room , and if he were avewedly so, he would tell him to his face, that amongst this respectable assembly there were many who were as great enemies to peculation as himself, and us true friends to the poor—(Chetrs)—many, who vete as great enemies to injustice of every sort, and, aye, he would say, as great friends to the sound princi ples which actuate the respectable portion of the Press as he was; and who would be ready to come for ward, regardless of any consequence, to probe to the bottom any abuse that existed in the practices of a Public In stitution. He would only occupy their time to state to than that, during the time Mr. Bodkin filled the ap pointment, more impositions were detected, and more Sel charity effected, than had been done at any ante ice& nt period since the formation of the Society ; and .as, in his own mind, he was fit mly convinced of the justice of that Gentleman's remuneration, and of the .excellency of the Institution, which had been so malig nantly attacked, he would conclude by moving the fol low it ig Resolution : Ret.cared—Tbax the Report which has been read, be received, and trot the opinion of this Meeting is, that the charges against the Institution which have appeared in the Times newspaper, have been -completely and triumphantly refuted—(Cheers). WILMOT-HORTON, Esq. M.P. seconded the Resolu tion of his Noble Friend. After the eloquence that had been exhibited to them, he should do no more than ex press his hearty concurrence in the sentiments expressed in bohalf of the Society. He could not conceive that that Meeting had been convened as a matter of neces sity, because he was of opinion that an anonymous co lumn was not entitled to such a notice; but as a mea sure of policy, he heartily agreed to it, as the opportu nity it afforded them of telling to the world the objects of The Institution, he was convinced would add largely to lie number of their friends and supporters. He had nett he same fears as his Noble Friend relative to being rrA yed against the power of the Press when address ing that Assembly. He would not be contented to take the sentiments which had found their way into aca umn of The Times for the sentiments of the Press generally, or that its unbounded influence would be lent to the spread of calumny and injustice.— With regard to the machinery of the Institution—its aging, which has been condemned as unnecessarily elpeative, he would say that it was, on the contrary, the most characteristic feature of the excellence of the So ciety, and ttlat through it, much of the good that the Society had achieved had been obtained. He would not trouble then" at greater length, except to say that the services of Mr. Bodkin had been found great and unwearied, and more, in his opinion, than commensurate with the remuneration be had received.—(The Hon. Gentleman concluded amidst loud Cheers.) The Resolution was then read from the Chair, and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the Board of Management was also put and carried, at the conclu sion of which, Mr. Williams, M.P. proposed the than! s of the Meeting to the Chairman, for his able and im partial conduct in the chair. Mr. Bourne briefly-re turned thanks, and the Meeting separated. In addition to Lord Suffield, we noticed Lord Al tairpe, Lord Lilford, Sir T. Acland, Bart. and several otktr distinguished characters.

This Gentleman who, for above half a century, has been distinguished in the literary and political world, died on the Ist instant, at Cheltenham, aged 78. His fa ther was a respectable clergyman at Chelmsford, in Essex, by whom he was educated, and afterwards sent to College. His first engagement in public or political life was his establishing the Morning Post and Morning Herald newspapers—the latter in 1780, the former a few years pre►ious. He also commenced the Courier 1 de (Europe, printed in French, and the English Chronicle. Of the Morning Herald he was for many years sole proprietor, and he supported the paper with extraordinary success, by his wit and versatility of talent. To the Probationary Odes and the Rolliad, which at that time drew universal attention, he contributed largely ; and wrote entirely the Vortigern and Rowena, a satirical work, pourtraying, with admirable spirit, and in the diction of Shakspeare, the characters of all the eminent persons of that day. This appeared at the time of Ireland's forgery. In the time of Mr. Garrick he produced the opera of the Rival Candi dates at Drury-lane Theatre, and afterwards the Blaskamoor washed nue, which, in consequence of party spirit running so high at that period, caused a contest among the audience, with drawn swords, upon the stage itself. He was the author of the operas of The Flitch of Bacon, and The Woodman, which will continue to be favourites as long as the English stage is inexistence. The former was written for the Haymarket Theatre, for the purpose of introducing his friend Shield, as a com poser, to the Public. The rest of his dramatic works are The Travellers in Switzerland, and At Home, a bagatelle produced about ten years ago. As a Magistrate, he was most active and vigilant. By his promptitude and personal courage he suppressed the riots at Ely at the time of the Corn Bill, rushing into the room where the (conspirators were in deliberation, and with the help of a few followers securing the ringleaders, notwithstand ing the rioters were armed, and fired at him. He re ceived, in consequence, a handsome piece of plate, pre sented by the county. He performed a variety of other acts as a Magistrate equally laudable, and was no less strict in the observance of his clerical duties. He was the proprietor of the perpetual advowson of Bradwell near the Sea, which he had himself created from a de serted marsh, taking large portions of the land from the sea, and expending an ample fortune in general im provements. He was at one period Rector of Kilcoran, and Chancellor of the Diocese of Ferns, is Ireland, and afterwards Rector of Willingham, in Cambridgeshire (where he succeeded the present Bishop of Chester), and one of the Prebendaries of Ely. To Sir Henry Dudley the country is, in a great mea sure, indebted for one of its ornaments—Gainsborough. His patronage of this excellent painter in early life principally contributed to his subsequent success. He was also the patron of De Lolme, who wrote the work upon the Constitution; and of every man of merit who needed and solicited his assistance. Sir Henry was the intimate friend of Garrick, of the Earl of Sandwich (who patronised Captain Cook), of the Elder Colman, of Cum berland, of Bonnel Thornton, of Mrs. Cowley, and the associate of all the wits of his day. He first discovered the merits of Mrs. Siddons, who was then performing in a barn at Cheltenham, and mentioned her to Garrick, who commissioned him to engage her, leaving the sa lary to his discretion. A love of enterprise was the main-spring of his ac tions through life, which necessarily subjected him to some varieties of fortune and situation; but in every circumstance he was a gentleman of polished manners, and the most liberal feelings. FIRS.—A fire was discovered breaking out on Satur- I day, at twelve o'clock at noon, in the extensive wine vaults of Mr. Edwards, wine merchant, adjoining the Honourable East India Company's warehouse, Crutched-friars. Prompt assistance was soon given by three of the Company's engines repairing to the spot, which extinguished the flames, but not till after much damage had been done. CAUTION.—BEARS' GREASE. -- J. ATKINSON, Impot. ter of the Genuine BEARS' GREASE, respectfully cau tions the Public against numerous Counterfeits of the above Ar ticle ; many of these Counterfeits are sold as low as is. and are only lard, marrow, &c. and some are very injurious to the Hair.— The Genuine of his importation has a Bear printed on the top of the pot, and a printed Bill round the pot with his Signature and Address. —The high estimation this Article has long held for the Growth of Hair, and the remarks of a celebrated Modern Lecturer on Physiology, that " BEARS' GREASE from the Animal in its native climate possesses very remarkable properties for regene rating the Hair s upersedes the necessity of further remark.— J. Atkinson will ' only add that this is a genuine article, which he regularly receives once in six or eight weeks from his Correspon t Su dents in Russia. It is of the ver y finest finality , and very pleasanld for dressing the Hai r, making it beautifully soft and glossy. by the Importer, by Avonsaw, Perfumer, 44,.Gerardatreet , Soho, London • and by Appointment.

Prigg, gardener; of Knaresbrough, set out, with three of his friends, for Kirk-Deighton, a village about five miles from that town, by an appointment made in a letter which he had received from a person (whose name we shall not at pre sent mention), to whom he had lent the sum of twenty five pounds, which purported, that if he, Prigg, would meet him where they were last together, he would repay him. Prigg and his companions accordingly went to a public-house in Kirk-Deighton, at which place they had not been long before the former said he must leave them for a short time. He did so, but soon returned, saying they need not wait longer, for he should not get his money that day. when they immediately returned to Knaresbrough. On the following day (Monday, Jan. 26) Prigg again went to Kirk-Deighton, received his money, and returned to Ribston, where he stopped at a public. house. It was then about six in the evening, and he' said, that he had come along with a person who had gone to the Hall, and he would wait his return, for he had promised not to be long. He felt rather alarmed by two suspicious-looking men having come into the house when he had received his money. (The two men were seen by a labouring man of North-Deighton, on the road to Ribston, about half-past five, the time when' Piigg saw them ; and at three o'clock next morning, the same man recognised them returning, which men had passed them on the road two or three times.) After waiting at the public-house for about two hours, and the person alluded to not having i ettirned, he, with much reluctance, proceeded to Knaresbrough alone, it being then about eight o'clock and dark—and since that time he has not been heard of. A few days atter this oc currence, Mr. Prigg's pocket-book, and neckcloth, marked with his initials, were found in a wood near the road-side, about one mile from Ribston, and not more ill in one hundred yards from the 'river Nidd. In the pocket-book was a memorandum of the loan of the money, and underneath was noticed the receipt for the same, dated Monday, January 26. A short dis tance from that on the road, two letters were found, one of which contained the appointment of the meeting at Deighton, and near it was found a gardener's knife. The discovery of these excited strong suspicions that some dreadful deed had been committed. Search and inquiry were therefore immediately commenced, though we are sorry to say without effect, as respects the body ; but it appeared, however, that Prigg had not received the money at the public-house at Deighton, neither had he been seen by the landlord nor his inmates. Infor mation has since been received, that an inhabitant of Deighton, who has some very bad connections, left his family on that day (Monday,) and has not since re turned, at whose house Prigg is supposed to have re ceived the money, and who accompanied him after wards to Ribston. W. L. T. Scott, Esq. attended at Deighton and Ribston, to take depositions, when, hav ing obtained the last information, he immediately issued a warrant for the apprehension of the supposed offender,. wln it is believed is in the neighbourhood, and who we trust will soon be in the hands of a police officer. Several other circumstances of a mysterious nature relative to the above have been communicated to us, but we refrain from publishing them at present,' fear of defeating the ends of justice. We have just heard that the body of Mr. Prigg was found on Thursday evening, concealed in a field near Knaresbrough, with sevetal marks of violence upon it. York Herald. The Duke of BEDFORD has for some time been se riously indisposed, having twice experienced a paralytic affection. The first drew his face on one side; and the second, extraordinary to relate, restored his face to its natural position. His Grace is at present an invalid, observes a strict regimen, and was unable in consequence to enjoy the company of the Duke of YORK, at his Royal Highness's visit to Woburn, till after the dinner. The Duchess presided, in the Duke's absence. Among the party pre sent to meet his Royal Highness, were the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Marquis of ANGLESTA. Two covered waggons passed through Liege on the 31st alt. loaded with bonds to the amount of 30 millions of florins, addressed by the Court of Austria to that of London, proceeding from the loan contracted fur by the howe of Mr. ROTHSCHILD. The following are the particulars of Mr. O'CoN NELL'S new plan for increasing the ft lends of the Ca tholic Association. He proposes to collect from a sup posed population of seven millions of Catholics, in 2,500 Parishes in Ireland, a sum of fifty thousand pounds a year, by a subscription from each of one penny a month, or a shilling a-year. This sum to be thus apportioned, yearly ; for expenses attending getting up petitions, 5,0001. for the support of the liberal Press in England and Ireland, 15,000/. for procuring legal protection for the Catholics against Orange oppression, 15,000/. for the education of the poor, 5,000/. to assist Ca'holic Priests, and enable them to go to America, 5.0001. for building Chapels, taking farms, &c. 5,0001. Motion was agreed to, and two Committees named. Although there has been some misapprehension of what the Minister said respecting the discontinuance or Lotteries, when he brought in the last Lottery Bill, he certainly announced officially that Government did not intend to apply to Parliament for another ; this s nne l people misconstrued, and imagined the Lottery then ensuing would be the last, whereas the 20,000 Tickets now on Sale formed part of those allowed by the pre vious Year's Act, but this is the last Part, and it seems, from the eagerness with which People buy, they are fully aware or the few opportunities which remain, and a brisk Sale would probably have occurred with one of the usual Schemes, but when we consider the irresistible attraction of SEVEN .120,000 Prizes which Mr. SIVE• watc;HT has introduced, being mote than double the number in the last, it would really be surprising it there was not a brisk sale. Extracts from the Minutes of Evidence of Mr. W. LEA RMOUTH, Currier, of Loudon, received by the Com mittee of the Honourable House of Commons on the Leather Tax, and the Excise restrictions necessary to collect it printed by Order of the House : Q " How much do you conceive a pound of curried Leather is advanced in price in consequence of the whole Duty and Restric tions ?"—Ans. " My idea is, that it is from 7d. to Bd. a pound on average, in consequence of the Restrictions and the Duty, that is, only upon curried leathes."—" I consider tha tour-fifths of the leather tanned in this country is curried." The duty upon rough leather at the time this evidence was given, was 31. per pound, it is now l id. which is equal to 214. per pound upon leather when curried, therefore it appeals that for every 2d. paid to the revenue, the manufacturer is put to the expense of from Sid. to 6id. and ibat the Public pay for this Tax three times as much as the Government receive. This cannot be less incousi3... t e nt with the prosperity of our Leather Nlanufactures, and parti cularly the Export Trade, than it is injurious to the general interests of the Country. Reside which, it was proved the Excise Restric tions prevented Leather being made of the hest quality, and caused it to crack and tear in the wear, and other great evils arose from them ; fad we are assured, that at the present time they are more complicated and injurious than at any former period.—Ste Reports .11813 and talti. • IVAkAL INtELLIOENtE.

He cmiteticled for the necessity of the act of which they had been convizted as being of the greatest importance in the study of practical ana tomy ; and declared that his fellow-rrisoner and he were not actuated by any sordid motive, bra: !olely from a desire to afford facilities to the student, and thereby render an important service to the community. -They were sentenced to imprisonment and hard 1.. bour for three months.

Last week the arrivals of all sorts of Grain, except Oats, were good ; and this meriting there is a good additional supply of Wheat, Barley, and Beans, front Essex, Kent, and Suffolk. The quantity of Oats here at present; is only moderate.' The AlLiers, apparently with one consent, declined to purchase Wheat this morning, and it was some time be:ore sales of any consequence could be made. The trade is, therefore, reported 3s. to 43. per quarter cheaper than this day se'imight, at which reduction several extensive purchases were made. Barley is now so plentiful as to have reduced the value of this article 2s. to 3s. per quarter since last Monday, with a very heavy trade. Beans are Isclined Is. per quarter. Grey Peas are is. per quarter lower. Boiling and White Peas are not plentiful, and they are held at about the same prices as last Mon day. Although the consumption of Oats now is larger, and the supply only moderate, yet the buyers have purchased so few to-day, that the prices declined Is. to 2s. per quarter from the terms•of let Monday. Flour is unaltered. TRIM ON WARD !HIP. • ' Wheat, Red (new), 545. Ris. Rye, new, 40s. 465. -- old, 635. 725. - old, 40s. 465. • White new, 60s. to 725.
