SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL Yesterday the Anniveriat; Meeting of the Friends and Subscribers to this excellent Charity, was held at the Society's Chamberi in Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving the Report, and auditing the Accounts for the past year. Os the modes of WILLIAM Afassiws, Esq. n , & bop of ciamess consented to sake the Chair. - Tin Report was then read by the sectleurr. It stated the num .ben relieved each year since the establishment of the Society to be' Wow : In 11141, 413; In ism 7*; M 1845, 9111; in 1914, t oo; in 1815,1,481 ; and in the last year, 1,954--besides 412 who bad received medical assistance us outistkins. Of the number admitted on board the Hospital Ship, the Grant. .pis, during the last year;l9o hive died, 140 remained under care; j b a d been 'spelled, and the remainder bad been discharged either atwuy cured, or coesvalmaot. Of the number discharged, 41 had bee, completely clothed by the society, and 115 bad been supplied with shoes and stockings. They consisted of seamen belonging to all nations sad climes ; no recommendatory letter was required ; it was sufficient that they presented themselves alongside the ship, and that their appearance indicated disease. From the Report, it appeared that there had been ad mitted. during the past year, natives of China. of the South Sea Islands, of America, both North and South, of Attica, and of every European State. The great majority, however, were of course natives of this country. The Report, in conclusion, stated the reiret of the, Committee is being compelled to annoc that the, •espenses of the last year had exceeded their receipts by upwards of 6001; and earnestly implored the public to come forward to their assistance, and thus prevent the extinction of this most useful Charity. Oa the intim of Mr. Urquhart. k was resolved. rim tin re port be approved, and primal miss of k distributed anwei Ike wbscribert. WILLIAM MARXISM, Esq. M.P. after enlarging on the necessity and utility of this Institution, moved the following Resolution; That it "peen to this Meeting, from the accounts on distal% • that the Mg mete are set sellciest to keep the Hospital spies mother pear; but whilst the Moeda( regr.-t that so ilitashisomone of sec► vital lawman* to that bulwark of the kingdom, the British )lavy, and to ks eseremolle intermit also, should, for a moment, be -deprived of the fostering hood of the benevolent, they entertain a -ecatbdeat baps, that ss the merits elk become known, a generous park eriU sot hold bath their support: The Eli. Captain WALDIONAVI seconded this mo. lion. He observed, that he should consider himself un swarthy the character of a British Officer, if he wet, not anxtous fur the interests and comforts at our seamen. lie had possessed many opportunities of observing their habit., and he found them, almost to a mao, averse to -entering an hospital on shore, and hence if this Charity were abandoned, there would remain no asylum to which, in the event of sickness, they would choose to apply. Besides, our metropolitan hospitals were Ina& quite to • their reception, as the aggregate number of beds a hich the whole of them were capable of making up, did not exceed 4,200; and this in a city the popula• tion of which was a million and a quarter. In Milan, on the contrary, with a population of only 100000, the public hospitals made up no less than • 4,000 beds, and in Paris,*here the population, although ,great, was considerably under that of London, there were no less than public hospitals. He mentioned 'these facts to chew the absolute necessity for the con- tinuance of this Charity. Thanks were thee voted to the Purees, Presidents, Tresses, and other Mears of this Institution; sod so the Patron, Is, his services oe the present occasion. Tne Bi.hop of CIIISTZR returned thanks. He con sidered the being elected Chairman of a Charitable Meeting to be one of the highest honours that could be paid to any man, and particularly to a Minisme of Religion. The Seamen's Hospital was an Instituties deserving of every support, and be felt convinced that it only required to be generally known to obtain that. support. The claim of our sailors upon the gratitude of the country was an indefeasible one, as it was to , them under Poovsuamca that we owed our prosperity. He was sure that the feelings of the British nation would respond to the calls of this Charity. Foe his pert he was so convinced of its utility and excellence, that he pledged himself to be most sealons in promoting its interests.--The Meeting then separated. This is the anniversary of Mary Queen of Scots being .asiesile4,ls47. Tao Reports of the Lisbon War Of f ice, as regard the member of men employed on the several occasions to which they refer. are extremely defective. It seems that Generals Villa Rot., Ateredo, and Claudino formed their junction at Mangualde, and that at two in the morning of the 7th, the Marquis de Chaves left Villa Chain the direction of Aguiar da Beira, leaving 200 cavalry behind him to observe his opponents. The Constitutionalists pursued on the same day, and their force consisted of four battalions of Chasseurs, four regi ments of Cavalry, eight of Infantry, the Academical Corps, formed out of the Coimbra Students, and 500 Artillery, with 21 field-pieces; total about 6500 men. The rebels belonging to the corps of Chaves alone, were upwards of 10,000, of whom 2500 were regular troops, and the rest militia and guerillas. A letter was yesterday received from a Portugui se Gentleman of considerable distinction, which states, that the reason why the party of the rebels had increased so very rapidly, was the conviction prevailing in the minds of many persons that the British would not agree to send troops to protect the new Constitution& and the! persons who wet e of this opinion argued from the experi ence of 1823, when the same compliance with existing tr.aoes was solieited and refused. It was this centric. Lion which induced Cnuot de Sloane*, Baron Molelos, and several oth, r t e, sons of distinction, to join the Sil . veira party. 11 this is ihe case, it stews that the sending of a British force to P,rtugal has bees attended with VW must I oval taut conseqeences. ARIGNA IRON AND COAL. IMPANY. A Special General Meeting of Proprkton vru held yesterday, at the King% Head Tavern in the Poultry, to receive the Report Of the Committee appointed at the last half• yearly Meeting, to investigate the affairs of the Company—Mr. Wm. Mumma, one of the Direc tors, in the Chair. _ _ The Sauarraau opened the business of the day. and proceeded to read the Report of the Censmittee, which was dated January 5, 1827. The document was very Voluminous, and occupied the attention of the Meeting for a considerable time. The Report baying been read at length, the CHAIR. MAN said that the Proprietors might put any question respecting any pan of the Report, which it might have been considered to require explanation. He had no , doubt but the most satisfactory answers could be given by the Chairman and the other Members of the Com mittee who were present. He recommended Gentlemen to abstain from all vituperative language, and to avoid. irrelevant matter, and not to introduce topics which were then under consideratina in another quarter, par .' snarly in the absence of ,those Gentlemen who were more immediately concerned in that affrir—ifieer). Mr. DUMAN wished to know if it had not been the practice to allot a number of Shares to one scrip, which were afterwards subdivided and signed for by other 'persons. He believed it was a practice quite general in the Company. Mr. Hoes& said these shun were not considered fraodulent by the Company. and any discussion about them now wooid be mono. pessary and foreign to the objects et that Meeting. Mr. Llenauar Wined that he had a right to discus the queition. M. W. Cutlet, and several other &mikado's. called Mr. Denman to order, and contended that he was wandering from the merits of the question before the Meeting. Mr. Damian appeared impatient, and persisted Is addressing the Chair. He trained the right of lowing heard, as be had first the eye of the Chairman. Several Shareholders called on the Chairman to proem, order, who at last interposed. and requested Mr. Denman to confine him self to the subject matter of the report. Mr. Donlan having acceded to the request of the Meeting, Mr. Twtoo's report of the state of the Company's Mines in Ireland, was nest read. It was dated 27th of July, 1826. and stated that under good management. and with strict attention to the mines, on a system which he pointed nut at great length, the afFiirs of the Corn• featly would prosper. and the proprietors would obtain a fair remuneration on the capital expended by them. Ta maintain this position the report -went into several elaborate calculations, and detailed the cost of working the different mines. Mr. Hmtrom moved that the two reports be printed, and copies furnished t, each of the shareholders, to give them an opportunity of examisting their merits before the next half-yearly Meeting, which was to be held shordy, when be intended to wove that the Report should' be received. Mr. W. Cu ass wended the Sales. aed hoped the cap et At cm each sh.re. would nut be pressed by the Directors vatic tee days after the first adveni,entent. It was uederstooattlat this request would be sanded to. nooks were voted to the Committee soil Chaining, and the Meeting aiinoreed. COLOMBIAN MINING ASSOCIATION. Yeste►day a Meeting of the Shareholders in the above Company, took place At the City of London Tavern, pursuant to advertisement. J. U. Pow Lea, Esq. in the Chair. The COIAIRMAis said, that the Meeting was convened for the purpose of laying berme the Proprietary a report which was grounded upon the statement of their agents. He then read a vet y voluminous report, which detailed most minutely the histoty of the different mines the Company posses.ed, and the state they were in at the date of the la , t comirunicattons horn their Agents, Messrs. Stephens• n and Harker. The Report further stated, that the conduct of their Agents was de.erving of the thanks of the Proprietory, for their seal and attention to the welfare of the Company, and cateluded by stating, that the Direcons At a former meeting, stated, that 2404 Shares were liable to forfeiture, but the time of payment of the instalments was extended, and there only re stained 140 Shares unpaid upon, which were forfeited, and the Directors intended to sell them for the benefit of the Company.

The Court was also made further Special, for the 'purpose of laying before the Proprietors, fer their ap probation. in conformity with the 17th section of the ith chapter of the By-Laws. a Resolution of the Court of Directors, of the 10th ultimo, appointing an Assistant in the Medical Department at the Company's Depot at Chatham. with a salary of SOO& per annum, and an allowance of 401. per annum for house rent.—Sir C. A. ROBINSON is the Chair. The CUSHMAN laid before the Court certain papers relative to the qualifications of the Company's medical officers, and said that the Records of . the Court did not furnish the means of giving certain returns which had been ordered upon the same subject. Dr. Cinematic that tote and said, that as one of the Proprietots, he felt it hi. duty to lay befog.* the Court the proportion's contained in the Reqoisitien which had been just read. He deprecated the idea, that because an individual stepped forward to expose abuses, that he should be denounced as a libeller. He was anxious to prelmote the teal interests of the Company, and his only object was to elicit the truth. He should be able to ' prove, that the assertions contai led in his propositions were correct. Many of them were admitted in the (Mutts, which was r pnblished under the authority of ' Lord Amherst himself. He then commenced reading an extract frost the Paper. A Paosesevoa is.. to order.

He then said. it had been admitted by all parties, that persons holding , military, or other situations, in 'lndia, ought to acquire a knowledge of the language spoken by the natives; indeed it was - an argument that could not be refuted. He wished the conduct of the Directors, in sending out persons to India not properly qualified, to be strictly inquired into, and then the Pro• prietors would know how many writerships, cadetships, ate. &c. had been sold by them. He believed their patronage was considered to be worth from 10,0001. to 20.0001. each. They bad for several years past inun dated India with young men totally ignorant of the language spoken by the natives, and unable to hold any communication with them. The evils of such a system were indescribable. The Officers were unable to give the word of command to the troops over whom they were appointed. The whole system of the army in In. die required revision. Why did they not follow the noble example set by his late Raja Highness the Date of York, and remodel the army altogether ? He then pro. seeded to pass an eulogium on the conduct of the Duke in effecting so many improvements in the asmy.

The CHAIRMAN begged he would proceed at once to the business of the day, and not introduce subjects alto gether irrelevant : not a sentence that be bad as yet uttered, had any thing to do with the purpose for which they had assembled. It was inflicting a sevete punish ment on the Court, to compel them to listen, as they had already done, for upwards of an hour and a halt, to a speech so unconnected. The patience of the Court would be completely tired out, before the real merits of the case came under discussion.—(Hear.) Dr. GILCHRIAL—The grand question is, whether a knowledge of the Hindostanee Language will be best acquired at'honse or abroad? He was of opinion with Professor Leigh, that the tudiments of the Language would be best acquired at home. He wished the study of Oriental Languages to be encouraged at the Univer sities. There were already several establishments in this country where such instruction was afforded, and they ought to be encouraged and supported by the Directors. He would eclate to them an anecdote of the celebtated Garrick. Dr. Gilchtist had only got half through his story, when • The ensuing aid—We hare the 11118 SNIT 18 1.0 Wifism-• Views of iseghser).

Calemel STANVOTS accorded the modes. The CUAIIIIII/ AS said, at that late hour it was Wpm. sible for him togravel through all the pounds tikes by the mover of the ResOlution, and indeed such I coarse was by no means necessary. The question was, *he ' the important object of extruding the knowledge of Oriental learning would be best attained by means of encouragement or proscription ? He thought each knowledge would be attained better in Ind a than in this country. and batter by encouragement than pro. . tfler scription. It was the anxious and ardent desire of the executive body of that Court to afford such encourage. meat to the fullest possible extent: The How. Proprietor ' (Dr. G.) was a complete enthusiast in the cause which tie had se repeatedly advocated ; and they all knew that eatbusinsts were not always the best judges. He then read the regulations of the Company, as to the appoint- Ment of Interpreters, and said that any Gentlenua who could pass such a feet was in every war fit for the discharge of the duties required of him. The re gulations proposed. by the Honourable Proprietor • would render it impossible for the Company to com plete their Establishment, even with all the means of obtaining elementary instruction mentioned by him.— Proscribing admirsion to the East India service would be highly inexpedient. As yet there had been no want of ability shelve by the Company's servants to perform all the duties required of them. He should therefore meet the resolOtion with the following Amendment :•.-- 44 That, in the opinion of the Court, it is inexpedient to adopt the propositions before them, as due attendee has already been given by the Directors to the important Objects contained in them."
