From the re ports which have been laid before the Society, it ap peared, that since the Grampus was opened for patients, in less than 16 months, 1030 patients have been ad mitted, to which should be added 171 relieved at the establishment a.

' While the subscription was gathering in the room, the CIIAIIIMsN proposed " the health of the Physicians of the Society." Mr. MACKINNON, an eloquent speech, returned thanks. His greatest desire was to see the charity fairish, and in furtherance f that object his exertion* would be•bestowed with pleasure. The CHAIIIMAN then, in a brief but expressive -ad dress, proposed e The health of the Lord. Mayor and Corporation of London," which was drank with three times three.

The object- of the r.ew Institu tien would he to rescue from shipwreck all who might be exposed to that terrific evil. The Earl of Liverpool consented to be appointed President, and the Lords of the Admiralty had promised their patron Age— . Hoe.

Mr. K Eisen DOUGLAS returned thanks. lie observed, that he was but the youngest Lord of the Admiralty, but, he hoped, not wholly disentitled to their attentinn., The CHAIRMAN then, in compliment to the corpore-1 tioo to which he belonged, and ;o the virtues of the in dividual, proposed "t he health of Mr. Sheriff Whitta. ker," which was received with considerable acclamations. Mr. Sheriff WHITTAKER expressed the gratitude he felt in a Short but expressive speech.. Thb CHAIRMAN trusted that the company.would for get his profession while he proposed the next toast. He begged he might be considered as an Englishman only; and, while he was an Englishman, he could not Target 11;e services his eminent comrades had rendered the country. He then gave—" The Naval Officers pre sent," which was received with very great applause. - Sir ELIAB iiAltVElt returned thanks. The Elder Brethren of the Trinity House were then toasted,afterwards the Ladies, subscribers to the Charity. The CHAIRMAN, after apologising-for his unavoid able secession from the company, then proposed " The Stewards." Sir C.Coez spoke for himself and his fellow Stewards. The CHAIRMAN then withdrew, and Sir rui.TENET MALCOLM was called to the vacant teat, and the com pany prolonged their conviviality until a late hour. - The toasts were accompanied with appropriate airs from the professional singers in attendance. The whole evening was passed most agreeably, and the general feeling in layout. of the Charity seemed to be considerably enhanced by the review of its progress that was laid-before the company. A woman aged 84, well known by the name of Tammy Tront, who has travelled a distance equal to the circumference of the globe several times over, and cried oysters about Exeter and its :leighbourhood up wards of half a century, was a few days since, when returning borne to the coast at night, on the Budleigh road, thrown from her donkey, by which her leg was broken, and she remained on the ground for some time, until she was found by some workmen, who replaced ter on the animal. From want of proper care she had several other falls on her,way home; and after enduring• excruciating agonies, reached her cottage at midnight. She was soon attended by a surgeon, who found the bone of her leg had penetrated through the flesh, and in this • dreadful.situation she was conveyed to the Devon Hos pital, where every care was rendered. A mortification commencing, the surgeons informed her, that her exist ence would terminate in twenty-fours hour, unless her leg was cut off ; she immediately submitted to the ampu tation, and it being now a week since, hopes areenter tairied of her recovery. _ I \ ~,. _ ~e A t ~~~ 3 ~ i' _ .

Besides the County Members, it very full attendance of the other Gentlemen in the Commission were present. The object of the Meeting was to discuss and settle the rules and regulations for the governMent of the county prisons, formed under the restrictions of a recent Act for the management of prisons generally. Mr. RANDLE JACKSON, in alluding to the time ap propriated to the educatiOn of the juvenile prisoners, Said, it was the desire of the Chaplains of the Home of Correction at Brixton, i.bara greater discretionary power should be given to the' visiting Magistrites, in orders that those youths- who were working at the tread-mill for the stipulated number of hours restricted by .the re gulations, might hi taken from their lab Our, for a cer tain portion of that time, for. the purpose of being edu cated and instructed in their religious and moral dirties. Mr. BRISCOE suppoited the proposal, and after some conversation, it was discovered that by the roles ailhey stood, this power was already vested in the Magistrates. -On the subject of the quantum of punishment inflicted indisc: iminately by working at the milt, Mr. ilotsit SussEll said, t4:at the Teport of the Prison Discipline Society, lately published. had treated the subject is a very judicious and scientific manner. In allusion to the dietary table established in the prison, {he same Gentleman observed, that he could not help thihking, that in the prisons, as they were now con ducted, many of the ,prisoners received, mare comforts. , and luxuries while in confinement, than while at large., A discussion of some length took place on the Ifench, on the propriety .or legality of putting persons to a compulsory labour, who were only committed for trial, on which The Honourable GREY BENNET obgerved, that die Secretary of State had coincided with him that it was contra:y to the intentions of the Legislatutethat pri soners should be put to the tteachniilibefore trial. Alt. Hot.ne Stnizsett thought that by the improve 4 mode of discipline about to be adopted, putti,hment might be apporti,med according to the scale (4 7 :crime. • The Court afterwards proceeded with the tion of the other' regulations, after w hich the Mzet itig acijoutned.

Mr. Justice BEST said, that lie had had many oppor tunities of ascertaining the value of the institution, and he certainly considered it one of the very best and most charitable of Chat ides. Persons who had beetl tried by, and convicted before him, had been completely re-, claimed by thii Institution ; and if such Societies were generally extended over the face-of the country, the good con-equences would be incalculable, asthe morals of of fenders could not be improved so much by any otheri, means that had yet'been devised. The Duke of YORK then said, 'I shall have the honour of proposing " The health of my very particular ltiendf the Honourable Grey. Bennet."—This health was Onessii with three times three.

'r Riess ars told him he was ready to bear him, and desired him te'speak out freely. ' . . " Why, Sir," said the youth," I have recently foiind out the secret that I am son to her Royal Highness the Princess of Cumberland!" " Well, and what would-you have me do ?; , ' said his. Worship, /oohing at the youth with some little surprise. " I really don't know, Sir," replied be ; " but I think she ought to acknowledge me, now she has so many friends about her. I was fent to nurse, when I was quite an infant, to an honest couple, earned Bell, and they have supported me ever since at. their own expense as they say, though they have had many misfortunes in the world. Ile was a baker ; but he failed iu consequence of somebody setting up a cheap bread shop near him; and now he holds an infe rior situation in the Excise Office. I have always gone by their name; and they have been very kind to me ; but now I am seven teen years old, 4 ant ashamed of being a burden to them any loiter." " llow la it," asked Sir Iticuaan, " that they have not applied to•the Princess-, as you call her, for the means of supporting you?" " Because they never found out who I was till lately," replied the lad; " and now Mr. Bell does.not like to meddle in it, for fear the l'rincess should get him turned out of his situation." Sir RICHARD said he doubted whether ha Royal Highness had i dent interest with the Excise Office to bring about any such hunentable catastrophe. " The woman I call my mother," continued the youth, 0 has ap plied to the Princess ; but she took great airs upon herself, and threatened to set her Solicitor tlsout her, if she ever dared to trou ble her on the subject again." S:r RICUARD asked him if he had ever applied to Sir Gerard 'Noel ? and he replied that he had, but Sir Gerard had taken' no notice whatever of his application. " Did you ever apply to Mr. Parkles=he that was the Sheriff?" said Sir itichard—" you know he is a redresser of all sorts of grievances !" "Die lad smiled, and replied, " Yes, Sir—poor Byrne to wit!" " Well, really, my poor boy," concluded his Worship," I can do nothing at all for you. 'lf your story shoold be true, I should wi•fil fo serve you ; but be it as it may, you :mast take your own coursei" and thereupon the tleg!,:eted young Prince made his bovi and retired, LAW A rm I:datttry.—A Solicitor summoned a hackney-coachman to 'hew cause why he should not be fined upon two distinct charges —ahuse,.and bring absent from his coach; to both which charges coacher pleaded Not Guilty. It appeared that the coach had been called to carry the solicitor and h.s family from Drury-Lane Theatre to their house in Lin coln's Ina-square ; and when they arrived there, coachee, • not hav ing the feat of tin- Isw before his eyes, when the Solicitor offered him a shilinig, said " Isis a late hour of the night, your honour, and I've carried live persona, so I hope you will give me a trifle more, as I've a wife and six children to support." This was the abuse ' - complained ot. To prove the absence, the Solicitor called his servant, 'mho deposed that, after he had called the coach, the coachman went away froth it more than a quarter of au hour. But, in his cross-examination, he adtuitted th At he did not take the number of the coach, because lie could not read, and that he could nut swear either to thescoach Or COAChtilatl. This being the cute, the Solicitor was.nonsuited• In both nee*, and had to pay all Costs; though he assured his Worship that he had instituted she proceedings &Arty pro bone publien--" it hieing very proper these fellows should be taught that we must have coaches when we want them-P' Fentoes Damiso.—Two hackney charioteers were charged by the patrol with galloping fitriously abreast of each Other down the declivity utt the Surrey side of Westminster-hridge. One of them defended himself by saying his horses - could not gallop at all ; and the other that his horses were so young and' full offecd, they would do nothing but gallop !

". ' . • IMMIIALL. Mr. JOilson, the Vestry Clerk of St. Andrew's:, Holboen, at tended on the part of the Overseers, who had heen summoned by Agnes Warren, for refusing to take under their care a boy, about three years old, who had bzen thrown upon her hands. About two years ago Mrs. Warren and her husband resided in Stang ate-street, Lambeth. when a:respectable looking man called to inquire if she would take care of an litfant? The Gentleman represented himself to be uncle to the child, that he was a merchant in Nicholas-lane, and would allow £2O a year for its maintenance, and supply it with clothing. Having saushed herself that the Gentleman did re side where he had stated, she took the child. requiring no further security from him, and the first year's payments were duly remitted from Hamburgh. She afterwards rev-Peed a hill for 101. drawn on a firm in.Oement's-lane, but she could not prevail on them to ac cept it. In a few days subsequent.to her application, t hey removed to fiondon-wall, aud shortly afterwards disappeared altogether ; and the uncle-was nowhere to be found. About tive-weeks ago the complainant's husband had his ribs broken, and she was now unable to support the child gratuitously. Mr. dopson seemed to think there was a collusion between : the applicant and the father to foist the child upon them, and questioned the woman - a considerable time, when it appeared that a widow Lady, of some property, had called to see the child, and, though abe denied ir. she was auppOsed to be the mother. Mr. Aide.* tan Cansena thouaht the parish ought to take the child, and pass it to its settlement. Here again, howeVer, a diffi culty presented itself, for the complainant bad never heard where the child was born.. Illr. Jopson at length engaged that the child should be taken care of, Airs. Warren undertaking to furnish every information in her power.—The child's appearance proved that ample care and atten tion had been bestowed on it by Mrs. Warren. CRUELTY AND HUMANITY CONTRASTED.—The early revolutionary movements in Mexico led to many wanto massacres, which were by no means confined to Spanish Conintande: s. Several Mexicans at that-time wielded the sword of vengeance against their countrymen, and vied with each other in rendering themselves worthy of the confidence of their employers, by resorting to acts sf the most disgraceful cruelty. One of these wretc)ies, who afterwards had even the preamption to aspire to a throne in the very country be had so much outraged, writing from Salvatierra, to his Commander-in-Chief, General Cruz, under date of the 17th of April„lBl2, giVes hint an account of a victory he had just gained over the Independents, and boastingly adds, " that he had sanctified Goad Friday by sending on that day SOO of his excommunicated prisoners to the deep abyss below." How different was the conduct of' another Mexican, Genet iilßravo,i distinguished patriotic Chief, in an action about the same time: he took 300 Royalist prisoners, just at the moment. that he received information that a dearly-beloved father had been shot by the enemy. Some of those about him observed that this would be a fair opportunity to avenge the loss of a parent, and obtain a just retaliation for the massacre above alluded to. " No," said General Bravo, " t shade of my virtuous father can never be satisfied by soinhuman . an act; his murder, .and that of the o th ers, require of me acts of . charity, nobleness, and genera. sity." He instantly ordered. the SOO Royalists to be' released, and sent them home.
