The Anniversary of this Charity was celebrated in F r eemasons' Hall, on Saturday, Lord Francis Leveson Gower, second son of the Marquis of Stafford, arid heir to his Mother, who is, in her own right, Countess of Sutherland, the _premier Peerage of Scotland, was in the Chair. His Lordship was supported on his right by Lord James Stuart, brother of the Marquis of Bute, on his left by Lord Glerrorchy, son of the Earl of Bread albane. The company, who were highly respect able, sat down to an excellent dinner at half-past six. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drank with every honour and cordiality, professional singers ac. companying them. with appropriate songs and glees. Lad JAMES STUART rose to propose a toast, which he W 35 sure the company would receive with great pleasure. It was the health of their Noble Chairman (Great applause). They all knew his Noble Friend to possess high character and distinguished talents—(Ap plause). He was• descended of one of the oldest and most honoured families in the country, and the r eine sentative of the most ancient family in - the Highlands of Scotland—a family long distinguished for pats iotism and generosity. " Lord Leveson Gower, their Chair man' (Great applause). Lord FRANCIS Lamm; Gown expressed his thanks I id the warmest terms. Witlrrespect to this I nstitution, it was not necessary, for him to say much. No object could excite the feelings of the people of this country snore than charity, whose purpose it was to provide for persons left destitute through the exertions, wounds, and death of their parents in their country's cause (Repeated plaudits) ; to protect them from want and in sult ; ani to rear them up good and useful members of society. To remedy the deficiency of provision for persons - thus destitute and interesting, the Caledonian Asylum vos instituted. It was not merely to provide what the poet describes as " Meat % clothes, and fire," that this Charity directed. but to bestow education, the parent of every. moral and religious excellence (•Applause),. to afford them the means of honest cmnpe tence, and the hopes of salvation.(gxeat applause). The Noble Lord concluded by proposing " The Caledonian Asylum, and may the sons of the brave never:want a When this toast had been drank with due fervour, the boys supported and eJncated in this Asylum, marched into the Hall, dressed in tart.tn, and wearing the bonnet. They presented a most striking and :in teresting sight as they marched round the room to the martial music of the bagpipe. Mr. Tuomsos, a Director, explained with much minuteness, and at great length, the state of the funds. The funds of the Caledonian Asylum wete derived ftom . :two sources-Ist, from the interest of capital ; and €2,1, from annual subscriptions and donations. The receipts of the last year exceeded 20001. The ordinary expenses of the establishment were moderate, hut in the course of the year considerable expenses were incurred in securing a freehold in the house and chapel in Cross-street, and in paying off balances of account for an Act of Parlia ment. Notwithstanding all charges, there was added to the permanent funds 'of the Institution in the last year 7751. Mr. B. B. CA um!. gave." 'the Highland Society." Colonel HAMILTON felt it his duty to thank the corn -pany for the honour they had done to the Society, of - which he was a member. Lord JAMES STUART, his health being drank, re turned thanks. Mr. M. GRANT, M.P. proposed “ the health of Lord Glenotehy."— His Lordship returned thanks. The Rev. Mr. BOYD, formerly Minister of the Cale donian Church (his health having been drank), teturned thanks in eloquent terms. Mr. S. hircuoLsoN expatiated on the great services done to the Inititution by the Marchioness of Stafford, the Countess of Breadalbane, and Lady Gwydyr. Their healths were drank with three times three, and enthusiastic applause. The Rev. Mr.LILES, whose health was drank as Se cretary, announced the donations of the year. Amongst others were—Mrs. Coutts, 100 guineas; the Marchio ness of Bute, 20 ditto; Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq. 60 ditto ; by the will of Sir W. Paxton, 100 ditto. The whole amounted to nearly 7001. CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION. Mr. O'Connell has addressed the following letter to the Catholic Association in Ireland. It was read at the meeting of that Body on Wednesday last:— Imam, 7th March, 1825. SIR—I deem h a duty I owe my respected brethren of the Catholic Association, to state to them the fol. lowing facts, and to mix with my statement some ad "vice, which is certainly honest in intention: First—The Bill for the suppression of the Association will be read a third time this day. It cannot get the Royal Assent for some days; and it will not be in force or operation for ten days after it receives the Royal Assent. I hope I shall be in Ireland within that period, to assist in such an arrangement as may be most suited to the dignity and the Interest of the Catholic body, without being in any, even in the slightest degree in consistent with that dutiful and ready obedience we have always paid, and in every fortune will pay, to the law of the land. Obedience to the law is our first duty ; our next is the peaceable and loyal pursuit, by all the constitutional channels left open to us, of that Emanci pation which would not be the victory of party, but would be the means of consolidating the empire, by making the people of Ireland part and parcel of the common strength of the great British nation. Secondly -_I am able to state, that the cause of re ligious liberty, which we advocate, is certainly gaining wound in this country; much- of the opposition to w - , 1 was in the habit of attributing to bigotry, and to as old dislike to the Irish. Since I came here, lam convinced I was in error, arid that there is but little of bigotry remaining, and still less of an anti-Irish feeling. Wn! The opposition to us at ptesent, such as it is, is oc 'casioned solely by an ignorance of the merits of our 'claims, and by the prejudice created by Orange calum triators. I have perceived that it is quite sufficient to are an Englishman accurate information on the sub ject of the oppressions under which we labour, and _the extent of the rebel which we seek, to convert him from an opponent into a steady and warm friend. The ex aminations before the Committees of both Houses in this way have done great good • and our cause is winning its way on th e English mind, by its native merits, in that friendly mode which is most desirable for the pur pose oftonsolidating both countries its that cordial gran• ner which would increase theirealth and strength of both. Thirdly —1 have the happineis to state my conviction that the Emancipation Bill will pass this Session. I may w L.,~: ~. N. _~_~. be tai sanguine, bat that-is my opinioh. We can never , he too grateful to - Sir F. Burdett for the manner in which he introduced the measure, and for the unwea ried exertibns he has made, and is making, in our cause. Mr. Plunkett, also, I am bound to say, and I say it wil lingly, Mr. Plunkett has shown himielf most hearty, sincere, and indefatigable in this business. I can not be-deceived on this. point—l can pled4t myself to the people of Ireland that Mr. Plunkett Is doing all that man can do, and more than perhaps any other Man but himself could do, to carry this BiU. Fourthly—l have further the great gratification to state, that it has been permitted -me to draw the rough draft of this Bill, in which I am engaged, and hope to have it ready on Wednesday next. Fifthly—That this Bill, if it shall, as I do firmly expect, pass into a law, will put Catholics and Pro testants on a level as to Civil rights—excepting the sue cesion of the Throne in the present Protestant family, which no person amongst us ever desired to see altered. and in which, as at present limited, we heartily con cur—and except the offices of Lord Chancellor of Eng land and Ireland. Sixthly—There is nothing sought for or desired in! the way of security, inconsistent with the doctrine or discipline of our Church. This part of the business is taken up in a: way full of kindness and good sense. It is felt that, to give an Emancipation Bill, which, in stead of conciliating, would increase irritation and jea lousy, would be mere folly—and, therefore, the secu rities sought for are sought in their proper place— 'namely, the affectionate gratitude of the Irish people— and in such an arrangement as will make the nomi nation of our Prelates essentially domestic and national, without trenching upoli the Canonical rights of the Ca • tholic Church. T:.• allegiance of our Dignitaries, which was never doubted, will thus be placed within the view of the law, but nothing at all of Veto, or Vetoistical ar rangement, is sought for or desired. Those aho are supporting the Bill at both sides of the House are com bined in putting it forward in the most cordial and sa tisfactory way. In short, our Emancipation, if thus obtained, will be just what all liberal Protestants as well as ourselves have desit ed—namely, otSCONDITIONAL EMANCIPATION. Seventhly—lt is proposed to make a provision, by the Bill, for the Catholic Clergy—such a provision as would give them the means of doing acts of charity, in stead of being almost under the necessity of obtaining it. But it is not intended, by such provision, to alter or affect the existing jurisdiction of the Catholic Prelates in Ireland ; ',either is there any new oath required, nor anything but what the most conscientious Catholic can desire. In short, it use are i.ow emancipated, we shall be so in the true spirit of British generosity, and in a way to make every Catholic in Ireland pour out bless ings upon his Protestant fellow-subjects. I do, indeed, think, that rew era is arriving fast, when religious dissensions will cease with religious disabilities. Eighthly—lt his been suggested for some time past, by many Members pf Parliament connected s.ith the Government, that.the elective franchise, in counties, bat not in cities, shofild be raised from 40s. to 51. or 101. It is not to he raised in cities,because in cities the Corpo rations cart make = oor freemen; and there iie the counteracting qualification will be lett low ; be-ides in cities there are none of those overwhelming large landed proprietors who can make a host of poor freeholders, and traffic upon them as if they were actual slaves. The quantity of perjury and crime produced in vitiates by the present system is enormous; and the prepon derating influence which the 40s. freeholders give to great landholders over the resident intellect and honesty of a county, is quite frightful. For my own part, I really think that raising the qualification to 51. or even to -101. would add to the Catholic influence in Ireland ; but, howevgr that may be, it is not necessary to be in any haste to form an opinion on this subject, as before any measure of this kind is adopted, full time will be given for deliberation, and for consulting the sound sense of the Irish people.' Ninthly—lt is intended to give the Emancipation Bill a first reading in about a week, and then to have it printed for circulation imEngland and Ireland ; and we shall have full time to deliberate on it in all its clauses. The second reading will be after Easter. I wish I did possess any influence in the Catholic Association—l wish I deserved the confidence of my beloved countrymen — if I did I would use it just to this extent—to implore that neither the Association, collectively, nor, if pos sible, any individual belonging to it, would give any opinion upon the change of the elective franchise, until the Bill was printed, or until my arrival amongst you. Indeed, I mean to carry with me the printed Bill after its first reading. I know something, I think, of human nature, and if Icon judge from symptoms of the times, Emancipation is certainly at hand. I have made a great sacrifice in coming here—that sacrifice continues ; I wish it were ten times as great. I do not boast of it; but I have been amply recompensed in the strong belief that. the Deputation has done good. The Gentlemen who compose it, and especially our Chai rman, Lord Killeen, deserve, I think eternal gratitude. There is one other most cheering circumstance. I perceive a kind and generous feeling amongst the Irish Members who hitherto opposed us violently. Believe me that they are worthier and better men than our passions allowed us to think. I see the beginning of better days—of mutual oblivion of the past—of mutual affection, and real and permanent conciliation for the fu ture—l hope I may say— " Erin, Oh, Erin! thy winter Is past, And the hope that lived through It Shan blossom at last." have the honour to be, Sir, your most faithful Servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. ITALIAN OPERA.—The Haymarket Theatre, on Sa turday night, was fashionably attended. The boxes particularly, were graced with persons of distinction, who seemed much gratified with the performances, which throughout were excellent. The amusing Opera 11 Barbiere di Sevidia, was exceedingly well cast.— I Madame Victims performed Rosino ivith- great viva city, but the principal novelty was Reseoutit, who per sonated Figaro, the first time. He has a fine bass voice, and was much applauded, as were also, DE BEGNIS in Baitholo, and Porto in Bastio, The singing was excel-' lent. A new Divertiseaseit followed, entitled La Co quette Sournise. It is partly mythological and partly amatory. The story is simple, and it is one of t .ose light and airy pieces which, supported as it was with the Admirable dancing of Vista's, La BLOND, Mademoi sellecAmazil and Madame VESTRIS, is sure to please.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK.LANE, MARCH 14. There was a good supply of nearly all sorts of Grain last week, and this morning the fresh arrivals of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and I'eas from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, are not considerable ; bat there are a good many vessels in from the North with Wheat and Oats. Prime samples of Wheat have sold with freedom, and have rather exceeded the terms of this day se'nnight ; bat in ther qua lities there is little doing. Barley continues very dull, and now but superfine parcels obtain last week's terms. Beans are vet, heavy in sale, and rather cheaper. Peas sell heavily at no alteration In value. Oats are now very plentiful, and the trade is heavy, so that they have declined in value since this day se'xualght full ls. per quarter. In the Flour trade there is no alteration.
