DR 57 7-ZANE THEATRICAL FUND DINNER. x - I•Sterday a mire numerous and brilliant assemblage: - than •. , :e have witnessed on any former anniversary, met at the Freemasons' Tavern, to commemorate sal; ie,tival. At a few minutes after six. o'clock, 'the pia‘e of YORK was introduced by the stewards. His r a aal Highness was supported on his right by the Mar quis of CnoLMONDataif, and on his left by Mr. Cat caAFT, M.P. Lord SIIIREWsBORY and several Mem bers ei- . both Houses of Parliament were present. The Grand Hall of the Freemasons' Tavern was superbly fitted up for the occasion. Immediately over the chair was placed a very correct likeness of his Majesty, in transparency ; on either side was placed a bust of Shak sueare and of Garrick, on pedestals. This was sur mounted by an admifable representation, in transpa rency, of Sir J. REYNOLDs'a celebrated picture of the Tragic and Comic Muse contending for their respective claims to the genius of Gartick, the founder of the In stitution. The number present must have considerably exceeded three hundred. Indeed we do not remember, an any former occasion, to have seen so thronged an at tendance at the celebration of any festival at the Free masons' Tavern. Opposite the picture of his Majesty was placed a likeness, though not an equally correct one, of his Royal Highness the Duke of York. • The galleries, which afford very ample accommoda tion, were thronged with an assemblage of very beauti ful women, amongst whom we recognked some of the popular actresses of Drury-Lane. At seven o'clock dinner was served tip in the usual style of excellence of the Freemasons' Tavern, and every circumstance con nected with the festivity contributed to ptornate its in terests and popularity. On the removal of the cloth, the masical gent'emen, ileitis. Horn, T. Cooke, Fitzwilliam, Broadhurst, &c. mho attended in strong mmter on the occasion, sang ,Xis Domino, after which, The Duke of Yogic The King"—four times four.—" The Arrny"—Song—Glee. —0 The Navy"—" Rule Britanni The Clime Banos; of Scotland next rose to propose a toast, which he was sure would be received wall the utmost satisfaction by any class of his Majesty's sub jects, and he was satisfied by none more than by the company at present assembled, on whom his Royal Higlint - s, had such strong and peculiar claims of grati tude—(ilear). From those who were the objects of the bounty of this Institution, his Royal Highness had a . daily and an hourly blessing for the patronage which he extended towards it. Nor was it this Institution alone that enjoyed the advantages of ,his Royal Highness's patronage: it was extended, he might say, to almost all the institutions and - charitable establishments '.f the Metropolis—(Neal). His Royal highness had a heart to feel, and a hand open as day to relieve. the wants al the destitute. Ile was aware nothing which he could add would be available to increase the respect which the are eat company entertained towards him, or to augment the enthusiastic feeling with which they were e:rsposed to toast his health. He would conclude by proposing his Royal Highness the Duke of York. " The Duke of York."—(Three times three). This toast was received with the liveliest manifestations of respect and enthusiasm. Tire Dok:: of lona, in returning thanks, said that he fele gr eat satisfaction at meeting so numerous and bnil liatrr. it,s;:nll)l.lge as he hat now the pleasure of seeing before him. it was true that this was not the first time that he had had an opportunity of meeting the friends of this iastitution, but on no former occasion did he see them muster so nurreroirsly—( Mar, hear). He hoped that tile increase of numbers would cot respond to the increase of the funds and interests of the Institution, ana was sure that those who contributed to its funds would feel themselves amply repaid by the self-satisfixtion they would feel at having contributed to the relief of those who stood in seed or their aid and services —(Cheers). The Duke of YORK next proposed the health of Mr. he in, aid success to the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund." Mr. K F.Am rose, and in returning thanks spoke to the folloa ing effect:—" In rising to address your Royal Ilighness and this very brilliant assembly, I feel a ditfi deuce, which is, however, greatly overcome by the ac knowledged condescension of your Royal Higlinesi, and the experience this Society have long had of ) our being a sincere friend to the child of adversity—(Hear, hear). This knowledge gives me a confidence in addressing you to .v hick I would not otherwise presume ; it is not but the cause, that speaks—(Cheers). That cause is one to which those who contribute, contribute to miti gate the miseries of the unfortunate, and to dry,the tear of real calamity. I am the more desirous of ad dressing a sew observations to you on the present occa sion, as I am on the eve of quitting my country—( Loud cries of" No, no;' in which his Royal Highness joined),— and necessarily the situation which I have the honour to hold in this Institution. And the first observation I am anxious to offer is, that of congratulation for the ad vantages we have experienced from the patronage of his Royal Highness, which ha, raised our funds.from a state of penury to one of comparative prosperity. The year 1818 was the first hi which we had the honour of his presiding presence, and from that moment our ad vancement has not only been progressive but rapid. I perfectly recollect how dreary was then the prospect before us ; the scanty annuities we then veer e able to al low the claimants on our Wads were necessarily reduced from twenty to ten per cent. we heard complaints with out the means of relieving them ; we could only join our tears with the tears of our unhappy brethren in distress, and unite with them in the acclamations of despair—(Cheers). But the patronage of his Royal Highness came at a fortunate moment; it turned the current of prosperity in their favour, and, like the sun bursting through the gloom of desolation, dispelled the vapours and restored the day—(lmmense ing). To whatever part of the world I may be wafted, 1 shall ever cherish, and bear in grateful remembrance, the effects of his beneficent patronage over this Institu tion. It is not that he has been the protector of this er that theatre, but that he has been to the national drama a patron; and, '-hat is more valuable still, to its members in distress a friend—(l-ourl Applawc).— For these services he will receive a more precious e ,vard and consolation than any r ra;•.e that I can bestow, ;n the tears of gratitude of thr-P whom his bounty has relieved, which shall be to into a passport to that where such deeds are recognized and rewarded. To the Public, to whom the unhappy never plead in vain,' this Institution is deeply indebted: their bounty has enabled us to increase, at a larger rate even than five per cent. the gratuities which the Institution be stows, and this too at a time when the number of claims ants had been considerably augmented. The present company w ill bear in mind, that, with an increase of alina, a corresponding increase of resources is neces sary ; and indeed 1 am sanguine enough to hope, that, hum the growing augmentation of bounties, this Insti !,.tion, at no distant day, will be able to give to the ye• :erans of the drama a. full half of whit they enjoyed whilst in actual service. I cannot forbear from alluding to the marked deficiency of contributions on the part of my brothers of the Stage.. They certainly have been wanting; and as a stimulus to induce them tp 'support this valuable Institution, I would refer them to a gloomy catalogue of . names who at one moment basked in the sunshine of prosperity and public favour, and at the next would have been hurled into the abyss of misery, with out a roof to shelter them, were it not for the beneficent aid of this excEllent and most useful Fund (App lanse). That is not the situation of us who are here to=day, but it might become so—(Applause). The subscription of an individual is trifling; but the aggregate of the sub scriptions, without injuring those of greater, greatly and effectually contributes to relieve those of lesser fortune. I need not hold forth a brighter example of imitation than the distinguished founder of this fund (Mr. Gar rick), who was not more apt to represent " comic nrirth" or " tragic woe" than he was ever ready to extend a generous hand is the unfortunate, and anxious to place A limitation to their distresses. ig The recording anger has registered his good deeds in the mansions of the blessed, and the members of his profession owe to his memory an everlasting gratitude.—Mr. Kean, after a few other complimentary allusions to the memory of Mr. Garrick, concluded a very brilliant address, amidst the loud and general approbation of the company. " The Vice-Presidents." Tlymks were returned, on their part, by the senior Vice. President. " The Committee of Drury-lane." Mr. CA LCRAFT, in returning thanks on behalf of the Committee of D. ury-lane, felt that his duty was con fined within a very narrow limit. Indeed, after the beautiful and eloquent address of his friend (Mr. Kean), it would he unpardonable in him to trespass for any time upon their attention. It was true, as :rad been stated by his Honourable Friend., that the number of claimants had increased; but it was also satisfactory to :eflect, that the resources of the Institution had increased pro par tionably. His duty, as Chair man of the Corrimittee, was trivial and iuco:rsiderable. It was however gra tifying to reflect upon, and to acknowledg the exten sive and liberal patronage which this theatre had re ceived. Indeed, with the exercise of such talent on the part of the performers, and he would add, with the exertion of such zeal, the manager might fairly calculate on the continuance of such patronage—(/fear, hear.) It was impossible for any person to speak on the present subject without adverting to his Royal Highness, who was so distinguished and liberal a patron of the national drama. His Rayal . Highnels was not the partial friend of one establishment, but the. general patron of both, and he (Mr. Calcraft) felt an equal anxiety for the pro sperity of both, and an equal desire to promote their re ' spective interests, for generous and fair competition was, in Iris opinion, always beneficial. One tor ic had beers al luded to by his Honourable Friend (Mr. Kean) to which he was desirous of reverting, namely, the announcement of his intended departure from this country—(Flear) ; that announcement filled them all, he was sure, with great dissatisfaction and uneasiness; and no person, he could assure them, with greater uneasiness and regret' than himself. lie hoped he did not• mean to persevere in that intention, •but if he did mean to persevere, he trusted his absence would be only temporary, and that he would soon return to his native country—(Applause). He (Mr. Calcraft) could safely assure him, 'that, on his return, he would be hailed with the same cordial 'greet ings and joyous welcome that awaited him on his late return—(Cheers). As Chairman of the Drury-lane Com mittee, he would say, that his services were duly ap preciated, arid that his high name was not only sus tattled but enhanced iss their good opinion —(Applause). This testimony, which he had hefo: c. borne to the merits and talents of his Hon. Friend, he was now ready and anxious to repeat in the fullest and most unqualified terms of approbation—(hcar). Mr. KEAN, as Treasurer of the Fund, then proceeded to read the several donations. Amongst the list of names we noticed that of his Majesty, 1051. the Duke Yorkof 5O guineas ; Mrs. Coutts, b2l. 10s. the Mar quis of Lan-down 101. the Marquis of Stafford 101. Lord Essex 101. the Chancellor of the Exchequer 101. H. Seymour, Esq. 101. Dawkins, Esq. 101. &c. &c. the whole amounting to 1,200/. which the Treasurer announced to exceed by '2OOl. the collection of any for mer year. This announcement was received with great applause, as was also the name of an American. Ge n, denials, whose name we could not learn, and who con tributed 201. to the Fund. We also understood the Treasurer to announce at the head of the list a legacy of 5001. bequeathed to the Charity by Mrs. Reid. The Duke of YORK next gave, " Success to the American Stage'—(Applause). Mr. PRICE, in returning thanks, said that the cha racter of the American stage was so rapidly rising in estimation, as would entitle its members shortly to take their place amongst the artists of the day—(Hear). Its present eminence and success were mainly attribu table to the employment of those who were most dis tinguished fur dramatic talent in this country, and as far as lay in his power he had endeavoured to effectuate that object. Besides the purposes of instruction and amusement which were thereby attained,a more impor tant object was effected, namely, that by the common admiration of the same talent, that friendship and at tachment would be cemented bet Ween England and America, which it was the interest of the two countries to cherish and maintain—(lramense Cheering). The Duke of YORK next gave— " The memory of Mr. Garrick.' " The memory of Mr.Kemble." The Duke of YORK begged to propose the health of a Lady, whose talent had been long the ornament of the stage, and who, in her department of dramatic ta lent, was not inferior to either of the names he had just mentioned— " Mrs. Siddons." Tile Duke of YORK, with the permission of the corns pally, would propose the health of another Lady, who, although she had retired, he was sure, to her own satis faction and happiness, had nevertheless carried with her the regret of the present company and of the public, at the withdrawal of those admirable talents from the ua tional drama, which they were all wont to admire. " Becher"--( ApplAusv). Mr. CALCHAFr, after having expatiated on the ad vantages of conyetition in the national drama, dis claimed a prefer e.ice of the interests of one establish ment over another, and enforced the propriety of every man to contribute to the relief of the unfortunate wherever the unfortunate were to be found, proposed — Success to the Covent-Garden Theatrical Fund." " The Ladies."—Sung, " I 'ere's a health to all good Lasses." After this toast, the Ladies retired, and his Royal Highness having proposed a few additional complimen tary toasts, wi:hdrew amidst the loud and congratula tory plaudits of the company. His Royal Highness presided, during the evening, with great affability. and address. He frequently took occasion in the course of the evening to express the satisfaction with which be had Watched the prop ei• ve improvement of the Institution, and the pleasure he Would ever feel in proMoting its interests. On his Royal .Highness vacating the chair, . there was a loud Call fur " Mr. Kean." but that Gentle man had retired at the same time as the Duke of York. His absence created considerable disappointmrnt in the company, and, after a short delay, the chair was taken by Mr. Ironmonger, proprietor of Drury-lane,. nude, whose presidency the harmony of the entertztinmcnt was admirably continued and preserved to an advanced hour of the night. Messrs. Wallack, Cooper, Gattie, Fitzwilliatn, an,• several other performers, officiated as Stewards dining the evening, and discharged their tninisterial duties most efficiently and attentively.

Getemrsirte—l beg to inclose a memorandum with the situa tion of the only two buoys we fitund in the Chico and Ortiz, on our way up to, and down from Colonia, last week ; and at the same time feel it my duty to state, that the masters of merchant- Ve3SMIS from .liuenos Ayres should he cautious against confidence as to their falling i❑ with them, as their distance front each other, and the irregularity of the current in the river is mch, that I think there is little doubt but those who omit taking the hitherto pre caution will certainly get oa shore. " As a proof of their inutility in passing up, we met the Dun das, of Jersey, who thought the buoy then near her was the west, instead of the east of the Chico ; while the Master of the Eliza beth nearly at the same time was beating as though it were the same, and our boat sounded within a ship's length of the spot she had tacked in, and found but eight feet of water : this in a fine clear day. I should add, that the Atalaya Church, which is al most the only mark near the great danger, is so difficult to distin guish in consequence of its towers being so low, surrounded by trees, and without a flag-staff, that it can only be made nut by ves sels of small draught of water, that can keep the coast on hoard. "The same buoy led us so far into the error coming up, that I was obliged to anchor and send the boats to sound More wr discovered it, although •but three miles from it, with men and officers at the mast-heads with spyglasses looking out, and every other precaution taken that could he thought of ; and I feel bound to say, that with out a great neley buoys the passage cannot he rendeted a safe one, unless a large light vessel is placed on the Bast end of the Chico, which woulebe seen from one end to the other, when it is proper weather fur vesAls to run.—l am, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, • " G. W. WI LLES, Captain. " Alc•i;te. Brown, Buchanan, And Co. Agenti fur Lloyd's, lliacno: y " Memorandum.— On the East end of the Ortiz, there is a black buoy, in lat. 35. 7. S. in 2 fathoms water, about seven miles E.S. E. by compass front the Old Deacon, which is visible with a low river. " There is a red buoy on the S.E. end of the*ChicO, in three fathoms, bearing by compass N. by E. E. from Atalaya Church, and is in lat. 34. sti. 15. S. about ten miles from the land. • " Another buoy was seen from the mast-head on the West end of the Chico, but the weather prevented our ascertaining its exact position." OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. Yesterday, Richard Evans, 21, and John Taylor, 17, were indicted for committing a burglary in the house of Mr. Charles Knight, High -street, Shoreditch. It ap peared, that on the night of the 20th February the pro secutor's house was entered, and a box broken open by a crow-bar, the thieves taking with them a quantity of copper and silver money, amounting to 41. 10.4 On the following . day the prisoners were apprehended in their apartment, and the copper found, and also a crow-bar, which fitted the marks on the box. On the person of Evans was found the apron which contained the money, and •on Taylor 10s. and a crown-piece.— The defence was, that they received the money a day or two previous.—TheJury found Evans Guilty of stealing to the value of 40s. but acquitted Taylor. Richard flughes, aged '26, stood indicted for stealing a piece of silk, value 121. the property of Messrs. Drake and Cross, drapers.

Pearson, aged 17, and George Lock, aged 19, were indicted for a burglary in the house of W. Pit caitne, Esq. 17, Tavistock-place. On the evening of the 25th of February, the prisoner Pearson, inquired it the prosecutor was ;It home, and upon being answered in the negative, the door was shortly after heard to be pulled to, with great violence, and a set of castors, spoons, &c. stolen; the prisoners were afterwards met in Russell squarer by two Bow-street officer', and after throwing away the castors and spoons, ran away; some glasses were found on them.—A question arose respect ing the time the robbery was committed, the prisoners' Counsel contending it was not dark.—The Jury, how ever, found the prisoners Guilty—Death. The following prisoners were also capitally convicted :—John Thomas, 18 ; and Thomas Oakes, 14, for burglaries.
