The Annual Dinner of this admirable Institution took place yesterday evening at the rteemaanns' Tavern, his Grace the Duke of Somas= in the Chair. Upon the removal of the cloth -"Non nobis Domine" was sung in good style, by Mr. Collyer and the profes sional singers in attendance; after which the health of the king and of the Royal Family were drunk with the usual honours. The next toast was the Duke of Somer set, who returned thanks in a short and appropriate speech. The TRIMSURER, on rising to read the Report, said, that he had the highest gratification in informing the Meeting that the state of the Society during the last year had bbiii vett atisfactory.' It was a subject for congratulation and for thanks, that although their grants for the relief of applicants had exceeded in amount that 4.4 many previous years, they had yet added four bun deed pounds to their tund. retaining also an ample suffi ciency for permanent demands—(Cheers) The cases of relief which had occurred were many of a very affecting chaiacter ; but there was necessarily a degree of delicacy on this subject, and the minute book was therefore always a sealed volume. He would nor make an appeal to the sensibility of the meeting at the expense of private feelings, but he trusted that confidence would be reposed in the honour and discrimination of the Com mittee. The state of their finances was as follows— The balance in hand on the Ist of Jan. 1828, was 4111. since that time there had been received in donations and annual contributions, the sum of 1,8371. making a total of 4,24Bl.—(Cheers). They bad paid to applications for relief, in 67 cases, the sum of 1,5801 in the purchase of stock, 1871. making a total of 1,8971. They bad thus a balance of 3511. in hand at the close of 1828. The Treasurer then proceeded to read the list of be. netactions and annual contributions, including the names of his Majesty, the Duke of Somerset (their Pre- sident), Lord Maryborotigh, Sir Benjamin Hohhoose (who, though unable to attend j:ersonally on account of indisposition, had not forgotten the S tin)), the Duke of St. Alban's, &e. Btc. These announcements were received with great applause. The health of the Minister of the United States was then drunk. Mr. BARBOUR, in returning thanks, said that no per son felt a greater intere-t in this Institution than h.., and be was truly gratified on hearing the very favour able report which had ju-t been presented. The ben,- fitent effects of this excellent Institution were of the most beast cheering and noble character; it was an honour to the et witty which gave it birth, and he trusted it would long continue to flourish, and to di:. prose. its blessiurs to society... Tbe Mexican Minister, on his health being drank, returned audio In a short speech, which he delim red with great looney. The following to.sts were then drank— " Sir Ruben Inglis and the University of Oxford." • Sir R. hums returned thanks. " The University of Cambridge." Dr. Pow returned thanks. ." The Loudon University." Dr. LARDNIR. in retorning thanks, said that the In stitution to which he belonged disclaimed all political connection, and did n"t wish to be identified with any political party. Their object was the diffusion of science and literature as widely as possible, and there. fore they did not limit their instructions to the members of any single religion; but in consequence of the ob. factions which had been taken to this part of their plan, had been determined to establish a second College, ontiguous to the fit st, for the especial accommodation f members of the Established Church, an arrangement rhich it was hoped would tend to satisfy the set uples 'at present existing. "The King's College." Mr. NeLsou Coutatons returned thanks in a speech -vhich was heard a ith crest approbation. Several other toasts followed, and his Grace left the chair soon a.ter ten o'clock.

I had hoped that an end bad been put to the distutb. ances which have occurred in this town and negkbour hood within the last tea days ; but I am sorry to state that a renewed disposition to create tumult has been manile-ted here to day. About five o'clock tlis after noon information was received at the police office that a Meeting was intended to be held in the evening in the vicinity of Ancoats street, a notice in the following terms having been posted in that neighbourhood— " Novice—Tuesday, May 19th, 11129.—A public meeting will beheld this evening, in the tear of the Forty Houses,Greet Agents street. on a most important subject, respecting rem, taxes, tic. The meeting will be addreeeed by a number of persons from the different townships —N.& The werkhtg classes are particularly requested to attend." On the receipt of the above information, J. F. Foster, E q. the Residentiary Magistrate, accompanied by Mr. Lavender, the Deputy Constable, both on horseback, and followed by a strong detachment of the Enniskil lens, proceeded to the announced place of meeting, where they found about a hundred persons already as .embled, all of whom Bed in great affright the moment they beheld the military and civil authorities approach ing. After remaining there a short time, the greater pa't of the detachrnent returned to the temporary bar rack in the police yard, a few dragoons being left there to reconnoitre. EIGHT o'CLocu..—The troops are still under arms, ano the Magistrates and police are in readiness to sup press any disturbance that may occur. Up to this. time no attempt has been made to hold the Meting. I send you a report of the trial, this after neon ► of one uf the men who was apprehended for hong a party in the riot on Monday week. It is the fie it case arising wit .1 the disturbances which has been brought before the Sessions Cuutt. SALFORD SESSIONS; Wl' It Before J. F. Fonts. Esq. (Chairman), and WILLIAM Rumen and LOMAS.: 'F.Acin. Michael Dodd, a Hearer, was charged with having coshmiited a riot in Manchester, in company with oases:, on Monday, the 4th of May, and with having committed an assault on Mr. Laverroer, deputy consta ble, and on Thos. Fletcher and George Moss, beadles. Mr. A/mimosa, for the prosecution, stated the case, the facts of which were proved in welds nce. Thomas Fletcher called and sworn—On Monday the 4th of May, in company with Mr. Livender and other officers, I west into Union street, Ancoats, and when we got there we found that the street was a scene of dis turbance. We found a great number of people there, some of whom were tearing calico pieces, and others throwing calico into the canal ; the mob were coming from towards a factory in Union street; I saw the pit wiser there about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour after wards; he came towards us, and there were many thousands with him; he was in the front of the crowd; I saw him hold up his hand and beckon on others to come forward; and I saw him throw several stones towards us. Several stones that he threw fell near where Mr. Lavender stood, and he was obliged frequently to stoop, otherwise he would have been hit by them. I noticed a little man in a frock coat and blue apron, who brought his apron full of stones and threw them down, and the prisoner picked them np and threw them at us. He was then about fifty yards from us. I had the opportu nity of seeing him for a quarter of an hour. and I am confident he is the same person who was throwing the stones. At last Mr. Saunders, finding no alter native, ordered us to go right into the mob, and with our cutlasses we forced .our way forward. Whilst passing:through a croft the prisoner dropped his hat, and he did nut pick it up again. • Mr. Lavender then or., tiered us to push on to the New.crosi, the people still pelting us with stones. We had not been there more than half a minute before I saw the prisoner leading a crowd of other people up on the other side of the street. I well knew him, as 1 had pointed him out to the officers when he was so actively engaged in Union. street. I rushed into the crowd, seized him, and brought' him out. Williamson and the other officers helped me, and we kept possession of him until we lodged him in the New Bailey prison. John Cooke, Thomas Wilson, and George Moss, (who was dreadfully cut in the eye in this affray), all consta.' Isles, deposed to the same effect. Stephen Lavender—l headed a party of the police officers into Union street on the day in question, and the account which Fletcher has given corresponds pie -1 cisely with what I saw. The riot was most alarming, and we were in great danger. There were only 14 police officers in the party which I headed, and the mcb comprised upwards of &thousand people. I never saw a mob more savage, nor more determined to com mit serious mischief. Nothing but the determined manlier we cook in dashing through the crowd could have saved us from the peril in which our lives were put. We had to maintain a running fight with the prisoner in our custody, until we got 'o the bottom of Oldham street. Whilst I was in Union street 1 re ceived several severe wounds, the mar ks of which are still remaining. This closed the evidence for the prosecution. The prisoner in his defence said. that he had not worn a hat during the last twelve months; he had worn a cap. He protested his innocence of the crime wish which be was charged, and said he should leavehis case to the .4 discretion of the Jury." Thomas Parr, Vernon Carlow, and Wm. Armstrong, spoke as to his character, and said that he was an honest and industrious man. The Jury. after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of Guilty. 1. . The CHAIRMAN proceeded to pass the sentence of the Court. The Learned Gentleman informed him that he hAd been convicted on evidence which lelt no possi ble room for doubt. He had taken an exceedingly ac tive part in one of the most serious riots that had oc curred in this district for a great number of years. He bad received a good character ; but in a case such as the present his character would serve him but little. The Court would fail in the performance of their duty to the public at large, and to the numerous manufac turers vho were now suffering from the depressed state f trade, were they not to •isit the prisoner with a most bevete sentence. The judgment of the Comm. was, that he be impri soned in Lancaster Castle for the term of 18 months— that A the expiration of that period he provide two sure ies of 104 each, and enter into security himself in 201. to ktep the peace for twelve months longer. The Court was crowded throughout the trial, and' ; amongst the spectators there was a considerable number of weavers. It is remarked, that is the present year there is a sin yam difference between the Royal Atnenecii of Paris and Madrid, in describing the Royal Family of Portugal. In the tenser Donna MARIA 11. is called Queen; in the latter Don blsousa is styled King.

The examination of witnesses commenced at two o'clock in the afternoon, and did not terminate untie duce o'clock on the following morning, when the hp. Cher investigation was adjourned toWednesday, in order to afford Mr. Pridham, the surgeon, an opportunity lot a chymical analysis of the contents of the romach of the deceased. In theineantime Kezia Westcomb, the widow of the deceased, .and Richard Witatnaoce, were committed to the'county gaol, to abide the result of the inquest. The following will be found a cortect repot of the evidence of the principal witnesses: Mary Richards sworn—l am the wife of Johnßichards, of the Quary, Heavitree; I have known the decease: four or five ears; I heard his wife say they were mar. ried at St. Sidwell's Church; about a year ago Beal- Westcomb was at my house, assisting to nurse the children, who were ill of the hopping cough and urea sles; she then stared to me, in the presence of another witness, that she kept a pat tiCUI it bet b iss the house— (witness stated the use Westcomb made of it; we omi. _ that part of the evidence).

Pi idtiam, the parish surgeon, generally came to Whipton on Wednesday, and advised her to ask Mr. Pridham to call and see her husband; sloe replied, " He (Sam) won't see him r I then said, " I would. if I were in you. place, ask Mr. Pridham to come and see him. and not say any thing about it to him." Westcomb thin agreed that in case Mr. Pridham came to Whipton, .he would desire hum to call on her husband. I afters% ards asked Westcomb what was the matter with the d. ceased? she said he complained of a pain in his stomach. In the afternoon of Wednesday, at about tour o'clock, Kes'a Westcomb came ioto my mother's bed room. My soother asked het how Sam was? She sail he was very bad ; mother said " what have you given him ?" West. comb replied that she had given him nothing but tea ; Westcomb then said," All his cry is for cider; I am Win to pick a bundle of sticks; Sam wants to come down stairs and go out in the sun. he is so cold;" she then went out to pick the stick.; on Wednesday morning, in the presence of my mother and sister, Kezia Weitcomh gave an account of her husband's illness. She said that when Sam came home last night (Tuesday). she told him there were no potatoes in the house fur his :sipper, and asked him if he would have a basin of burr b She said he told her he did not ca. e—any thing would dn. She then took a bit of fat mutton, pot it inn the clock. made it bail. and then thickened it with II 'or, List ing a little bread. She said she d;pp. , dup a tea cup full of the broth and had drank t. Ido Out recollect if she said she hid i.alc.n up the broils lot Sams or had lett it for his supper. She fa d she ail.: my sister Manila went for a walk round fleavosee, and that she had left Sam at home to get his supper...- 0d her return she said that Sam was titian; down by the 6ie side, letting his head rin hi. r and ; he s•ed tie was very bad; he had eaten part of hi. broth; she told us he had had a violent pain in hi. st mach al d had vomited very much ; site also said that he complained very much of thirst, and that he d d not have Iris clothes off all night; she said he wanted some cider ; that she gut him two eggs, and had dressed nue r f them int him ; nn Wednesday evening I saw ItichAtd Quantance with K. Westcomb; they weie thinking tea together; Westcomb said s' e was going to make tome rose mary tea For her husband. On Thursday evening, K. Westcomb. in the presence of Mary Westcomb.4aid that her husband's body should not be opened by a laurgeoo ; Richard Broom (a fellow labourer of the de. ceased) told me that deceased had been poisoned; I repeated what he had said to K. Westcomb, who said she " would rather suffer a sword to he thrust in her heart thin that the body should be ol erred;" Mary Westcomb said, " Don't say so; if thew want the body opened, in Goo', name let it be done ;" I did not bee Quantance at our house yesterday (Thursday), but my mother said he was there; Quantance a as a lod ) ,,er in our home until M nday last ;on that day I saw him sitting in K. Westcomb's mem. On Thursday K. Westcomb sent me and her sister to draw. the club money for the funeral. We were at first refused. K. Westcomb wrote on a piece of paper —" This is to can Lily that Sa muel Westcomb is tio mute." I afterwards got Peter Wilms and Richard Fenn to sign the paper, and the money was then paid to me. The deceased came to this house (Half Moon Inn) on Wednesday, and drank some beer. •E. P. Pridham, Esq. surgeon, sno►n—K. Westcomb objected to my opening the body of the deceased; I have done so; I am clearly of opinion th.st the deceased has died from the effect of cm tain deleteri .us substances found in the stomach, the precise nature of which 1 have not yet been able to examine; but from the inso !Lability of the substance, its close adherence to the surface of the stomach, added to the symptoms detailed by the wife, I have every reason to believe the substance found to be white arsenic, and sufficient in quantity to produce death. James M. Madden, Esq. surgeon, of Heavitree, con• firmed the truth of the medical opinion expressed by Mr. Pi idham. Eleanor Jarman was examined—Witness lodged in Mr. Davy's house ; she knew the deceased, but did not know be was ill until Wednesday. At about twelve o'clock on that night witness beard K. Westeomb call to Davy. Mrs. Trost afterwards called witness, and on going into 'bifocal occupied by the deceased, witness found that be was dead. He was quite stiff and cold; she thought be artist have been dead for two hours.— Witness did not see any marks or bruises about the deceased. K. Westcomb used to call Quantance to breakfast in the muruing as if be was one of the family. We stop the press to announce a most important fact relating to the supposed murder at Whiptoo, which bas just been comnsuni• rated to us. About a fortnight ago, a rims answering the description of Richard Quantance, purchased sixpenny-worth of white. armpit at the shop of Mr. Salter, chymist, Fore-street bill. He was as by James Potter and Geo. Perry, two porters, working at • the Quay. Mr. Salter, although be did not suspect that the poison was required for an improper purpose. very daftly goes timid the mans and asked what use be intended to make of it ? The Man replied that his house was beset with rats and that the amide was to destroy them. Mr. Salter then obs erved, ' " I sop pose you are going to destroy yourself, or you would not have - r~ J. t ge Oh ells" s aid he man, .• that brought two MINI with you.' awe nat."

They, believing that he wanted the arsenic to destr,y rats, accompanied him. Mr. Salter cannot speak positively to his knowledge of Quantance, but he can safely swear to one of the men who accom panied him. The two men, as web ar Mr. Salter, are summosed .o appear before the adjourned inquest on Wednesday. RECORDER'S REPORT.
