The Anytiversary (the 37th) of the Literary Fund Society was held yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, ► his Grace the Duke of Somerset, the President, in the • Chair, supported by Lord Glenorchy, Sir William • Clayton, S r John Malcolm, Sir John Swinbutne, Mr. Thomas Moore, and several other persons of di•tinction. " Non nuks, !)mint," having been sung in the usual excellent style, by Messrs. Atkins, Colpeper, and Droatilitu•st, and Masters 13.1ylry and Nichols, The CHAIRMAN proposed the " health of the King ;' c'runk with three times three—Song, " God save the King."—He next proposed the "health of the Duke of Yotk, and the As my;" drunk ssith titree times three— Song, 4 ; Hal k, hark ! the Lark," &c. The next toast WAS a Toe Duke of Clarence, and the Navy ;" drunk also with all the honours—Song, " Rule Britannia."— The health of the Duke of Somerset," being given, As nil kgh imurnendations of the support which he had given to the Institution, was drunk with all the honours. The Duke of SomEnsEr, in a few words, returned thanks, and stated, tha: he was proud to pay every attention in his power to an Institution of so vet) , useful a nature as this, which had derived its great success fr m the exertions of many other men, who had devoted much of their means and of their vain ible time and talents to its support—SonZ, " All a Sheep-shearing." 'the CnAtastsm then proposed the " Health of the Vice-Presi i dents* which was received with all the usual honours. . . • Sir WILLIAM CLAYTON returned thanks in his own name, a td in the names of the other Vice-Presidents.— It was quite unnecessary for him to dwell upon the great success which had attended this society under the peronage of his Majesty, or upon the great good which the Institution was calcul.►ted to do, and had done. He pronnied the" Health of Mr. Hobhouse, M.P. Chairman of the Committee." This was drank with all the honours. The Rev. Dr. YATES, one of the Treasurers, stated • that he had a not from Mr. Hobhouse, mentioning that he (Mr.H.) was unable to attend from indisposition. He then gave a brief account of the Funds of the Insti ttnion, as follows: A BSTRACT of the CASII ACCOUNT, audited according to the Charter. Prest•nted to the General Meeting, March 8,1826. .

Out of the 16681. which he had mentioned, 57 cases had been relieved, many of which were very interesting, and y hich would have been communicated to the Meeting, were it not fcr that characteristic c.f . the Institution which prevented the disclosure of the names of those who were relieved.— (Applause.) lie then stated, that the usual donation of 210!. had been sent by his Majesty.—(4pplause.) Several other donations of twenty, and ten guineas, from various individuals, were also mentioned. Mr. Fsranzasix recited a Poem in praise of the Institution. SOTMEIT also highly praised the Institution, which, above all others, was thoroughly competent for its purposes. It pene trated into the darkest places, and lighted up the fire of genius, when on the point of bring extinguished by despair. Sir JOHN MAICoLM stated, that he had the permis sion of the Noble Chairman to propose a toast. They had all heard of the great progress which had been made by the Institution, that administered relief in the delicate manner in which genius ought to be relieved. No Institution could be more calculated to rouse all the generous and benevolent ft elings of our nature, and to allay all angry passions. It was another characteristic of the Institution, that it often afforded relief to those who had themselves contributed to its funds in their more prosperous days. This was a peculiar feature of this Insti lotion ; and it was also a remarkable feature in it, that its applause and admiration might be valuable to genius when its money was not wantel He alluded to one now present among them, whom he hitd not the honour Fersonally to know, but whose tame was well known all over the world. He now claimed the liberty to pay his trihute of admiration to the individual in question; tor, although he (Sir J. M.) had spent a great part of his life in distant climes, his fame had reached him; and the me: it of oue of his works (continued Sir J. M.) I myself well able to appr ciate—l mean Lolls I;ookh—(Cireat applause),—in which the Author has conitiined the truth of the Histoi ian with the genius of the Poet, and the vigorous classical taste of his own country wit!) the fervid imagination of the East. 1 propose " The heal h of Mr. Thomas Mcnte." This wasr:ceived with all the honours. Mr. Nloone—l feel highly flattered by the compli ment now paid me, although there are others who might more justly have laid claim to it—l allude parti cularly to the translator of ()bows, %hose genius in stiucted, enlightened, and, delighted the world, long beiore a lay of mine api.eared before the public. I can kowever, but feel myself highly honoured by the manner in which my health has been received in such an assembly as the present. The soldier is delighted 1 / 1 11h the applau e of his companions in arms; the sailor love. to i:ear the prai,es of those who have encounteted the Pe' 'l4 of the deep, and of naval waddle. 8 1 can not help feeling soroessliAt like A similar pleasure from the api.rubnion of those who have laboured with me in the same field. This is the highest honour wadi they can offer, r I tan receive.—(Applamse.)—As to the Now urable 13 ironer who has proposed my health in so fueziag and eloquent a sumer, lice! that much. of what lie has said in my praise may arise from the infiu ence I f the spa , kling glass which has been circulating among us.—(A laugh.)-1 do not.by any means say that we have yet reached the state of double vision (a laugh), butit is well known that objects seen through a glass appear magnified, and of a higher elevation. The.e is an anecdote in the history of literature, not unconnected with this topic. When the art of printing was first in troduced, the types with which the first works were printed were taken down and converted into drinking cups, to celebrate the glory of the invention. To be sure, there have been other literary glasses, not quite so poetical; for it has been said, that as the warriors of the North drank their mead, in the hall of Odin, out of the skulls of those whom they had slain in battle—so book sellers drank their wine out of the skulls of authors.— (t.aughter end applause.) But different times have now arrived; for authors have got their share of the aurum' potabile, and booksellers hive got rather the worst of rt. There is one peculiarity attendant upon genius, which is well worth mentioning, sill reference to the great objects of thisldmirable histitution. Alen of ge n us, like the precious perfumes of the East, are exceed ingly liable t r exhaustion ; and the period often conies when no:hing of it remains but its sensibility ; and the life which long gave light to the world, sometimes ter minates in becoming a burden t i itself. (Great ap. plause) When we add to that the image of Poverty— when we consider the situa.ion of that man of genius, ho, in h s declining sears aid exhausted resources, sees nothing before him but indigence ; it is then that wr can only estimate the value of this lost tution, which stretches out its friendly aid to save him from the dire calamity. (applause.) This is a consideration which ought . to have its due effect upon the mina's of the easy and opule it, who may themselves be men of genius; but there may be ot h er s who may have no Eroperty ex cept that little light of talent which Gov has %en pleased to bestow upon them; and the person wheil now ad dresses you speaks the more feelingly, became he can not be sure that the fate of genius ; which he has just ben depicting, may not, one day, be his own. Sir Joan IffaLcoLac adverted to the importance of acquiring ac curate knowledge respecting the population of our eastern domi nions. and proposed to drink " Provelity to the Asiatic Society?' The toast was received with applause. About ten o'clock the Duke of Sumerset retired, and Sir John Malcolm' having taken the Chair, the conviviality of the Meeting. was kept up for some time longer. DREADFUL ACCIDENTS. Tuesday evening, a Jury was assembled before J. H . . Gerd., Esq. the Coroner for Westminster, at the house of Mr. Tookey, the Black Horse Tavern, in the Haymai ket, on the body of Mr. James Cundy, aged 33 years, an architect, who was killed owing to the furious driving of a butcher'i cart. Mr. William Bewick Lynn, of Parliament street, surgeon—On Monday, the 24th of April last, I was sent for, with my uncle, who is also a surgeon, about ten o'clock in the morning, to attend the deceased ; we went immediate'', and found him at the house of Mr. Ponsonby, in the Regent Circus. On examination, there was discovered a very severe compound fracture of tile left leg. I attended him regularly 'twice a day until' his death, si loch took • place on Monday last. The symptoms of the fracture went on well at firsts and see bad gre.t hopes of recovery ; aboliethe ninth day a very unfavoui ahre change was perceived, and we con sequently called in Dr. Warren ;•these symptoms were mitigated for a time, but they retura:eJ again with increased viol-nce, and continued till he died. My uncle visited the deceased daily, and Dr. Warren came several times. I am decidedly of opinion, in conjunction with my uncle, that the serious injiry done to the de cessed's leg was the cause of his death. Mr. Joseph Cundy, of Lawer BAgrave-street, Pinsl;co —The deceased vas my bri.ther. About three hours after the occurrence happened I was with him ; he was quite sensible, and told me that he was riding on horse back at a fast walk up Regent -street, proceeding towards the County Fire o,hce; he was within three feet of the curh stone on the left hand side, and opposite to Mr. Punsoaby's; it was his proper side. A gentleman was riding before him also on horseback, and a little a-head was a butcher's cart, driven by a young man about 19 years, who was coming down the street on the sante side that witness's brother was, at a most furious rate, and driving at him (deceased), that he was obliged either to put his I orse on the pavement, or go to the other side; also that he attempted to go on the opposite side of the road, and then the butcher, seeing this, did actually, with the view of correcting his own error, direct his horse and cart towards the side where my brother was going, at a rapid pace, and the consequence was, that the shaft of the cart struck my brother's shin bone with such violence that it nearly knocked the horse down on which he was riding, and by the concussion the deceased was thrown. There were no carriages near the spat, arid the road was quite clear. To prove the tameness of the animal, my deceased brother said that while he was lying under his legs, the horse carefully avoided 'to injure him, and slowly moved away, walked to the stand of coaches in Piccadilly, and then returned and stopped at his master's feet. The width of the street is about 80 feet. The deceased also tiild me, that after the butcher had passed the Gentleman who was riding a-head of him, he could have pulled up it he had thought proper, and prevented the occurrence. Mr. William Nichols, of 35, Lincoln's Inn Fields, secretary of the Verulam Club—l was passing the corner of Piccadilly into the R -gent Circus, just atter the oc currence. I saw several persons making towards the middle of C:e street, and noticed a butcher's boy in his cart, who was in the act of pulling up his horse or keeping him steady. I went to the assistance of Mr. Cundy, who was lying on the ground with his leg doubled up. The cart remained there ; and I heard the driver tell the peo ple he could not help it, and that he was only driving as he usually did; heard some of the persons say that the can was driven at a most furious and scandalous rate.— Mr. Coady (now deceased) also told me that he used his utmost endeivours to avoid the butcher and cart, but could not. Mr. Jotepla William Thrupp, of Duke Street, Man chester Square, Solicitor.—On the 26th or rrh of April last, called upon Mr. Geo. Ley burn, a carcass butcher, in Leadenhall market, and in consequrnce of what passed between us, Mr. Leyburn called up one of his men, named James Curtis, apparently about 19 years of age. Mr. L.lburn asked hum (Curtis) to describe what oc curred in. Regent Street on the 24th April last. Curtis stated 'ha he had been taking sortie meat to M•ssrs. Swan and Edgar, in the Quadrant, and that after leaving the meat there, he-was driving at a moderate rate down Regent Street toward! CM 1100 Palace, and just as he got below the Circus, the cart came in contact with a gentleman on horseback. Lejbuta diskeJ him in what part of the road-he was Curtis said, in the midJle of the highway, ineii he admired there was no carriage near him at Ori time. I their asked - him *hat he called going at a nrnderaie pace? He said- his iissual rate was eight miles an hour; I told him that wai too rapid a pace to drive in' the streets of London. To this he maJe no answer. J■rer—rl presume it was some Information you received that caused you to make the inquiry? Witness.—Yn, I received it from the deceased gentleman's brother. The Coroner (Mr. (Ind.) now briefly addressed the Jury. He said it was evident that the injut y which the deceased received occasioned his dt atit, and that in one of the widest streets in London,. through the wilful neglect and carelessness of the butcher driving his cart, and at a time when there was no carriage near the spot and where the width of the street is 80 feet. If occur :vices of this kind are t•., be considered merely as acci dents in such street, ue shall have them constantly narrower ones ; for it is well known that these persons drive generally very rapidly, and the man st 'ted that it was his usual pate, a moderate one of eight miles an hour ! ' In my opinion, I consider this a tit case to go before another tribunal; it may possibly be the means of preventing similar occurrences. The Jury were decidedly of the Lime opinion, and unanimously returned a verdict of Manslaughter against James Curtis, the driver of the cart. The COROKIR then issued his warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner, whom he ordered to be lodged in Newsate, and bound over the witnesses to appear at the Sessions. GROSS CONDUCT OF A Coaciamasr.—Yesterday eve ning au Inquisition was taken at the sign of the Turf Tap in . l'attersall's yard, Grosvenor-place, before Mr. GELL, the Coroner for Westminster, on view of tht body of William Jackson, who was killed under the follow ing circumstances. The investigation excited much interest. Aft-r the Jury had t Aril their usual oaths, and A view of the b 'dy being had, the following w t iesses were examined :s Mr. John Bowl.rig, house surgeon at St. George's Hospital, deposed, that on Thursday last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, the deceased was brought into the Hospital. He immediately examined him, and found that both bones of the 1.-It leg were brok n ; there was also in the same leg a flesh wound, which bled copiously. He did every thing that was proper for the deceased, but his efforts to preserve life were inef fectual, as the deceased, being seized with a locked jaw, terminated his existence on Monday evening. The cause of his dissolution was the locked la.v, produced by the fracture of the leg. By the Comma—lt did nut strike him that the deceased was intoxicated when' he was brought into the 'dospital. Juror—Did the deceased inform you how the accident happened? Witness—Yes; he said that he was in Upper Brook.street, with his team of two horses, and on his right side of the road, when be observed a Gentleman's carriage coming at a brisk rate behind him. He cried to the coachman, " Fur Gon's sake, draw off to your right side, or draw up." The coachman, however, di 1 not, or pre tended not to hear him, and attempted to drive between his team and l the curb-stone on the off side of the road, in doing which he was knocked down by the fore-wheel, and the hinder one went over his foot. He then said he became senseless, and could recol lect no more. Cosonsn—Did be say the coachman heard him Cali out ? Wituess—The deceased said he•was sure he heard him. Louisa . Burchett ' the sister-in-law to the deceased, deposed that she saw the de"desseclin the Hospital, who told her that he was driving his cart along Upper Brook street, when he taw a carriage driving furiously after hint ; be cried out, 4 ‘ Fur Don's sake drive .off, or I shall be killed." The coachinais, however, d;d not stop, and directly after he was knocked down, and the wheel going over him, he becaMe senseless. CORCINZR-.- Did the deceased impute any blame to the coachman ? Witness-Yea; the defendant said he was on the right side, and if „the coachman had kept on his, the accident would not have happened. The CORONER regretted that upon suck an occasion there should be such a want of evidence, and inquired of the Jury whether they would wish to adjourn, for the purpose of procuring further testi mony. It was clear that the unfortunate deceased had been killed by a carriage driving over him; but as no evidence was before them to prove that the coachman had negligently driven over the deceased, their verdict could not affect him. The coachman was present, and declared that he had no recol lection of the accident. The Jury expressed their dissatisfaction at this, and said that owing to his careless driving a fellow-creature had been deprived of his existence. The Commas asked who was the owner of the carriage? and was told Mr. Thomas, Gloucester-street. The Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. Deodand £5 on the carriage and horses. Yesterday the LORD Mayon entertained at dinner the Wards of Vintry, Tower. and Walbrook. His Lordship seems to be giving dinner parties without intermission. ROBBERY OF A GAMING HOIJaE.--•Last week an ingenious robbery was effected at a gaming-house in King Street, St. James's. At about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, when it was known that the potters would be away, two respectably-dressed persons, with surveying rods, kc. knocked at the door, and stated, that as the house appeared in bad repair, it was their duty, as public surveyors, to examine its state. The wom an who had cltarge of the house believing the story, showed them over it. In the adjoining room to the room of play, on the first floor, is a large lien safe, in which a tin box, containing the money of the bank, was always deposited after play was over. When the" surveyors" came to this room, one kept the woman engaged talking, while the other took very accurate dimensions of the lock of the safe. That done, they went away, speaking with pro fessional importance, I" party wall," " dry rot," 48 must he condemned," &c. On tl.e lollowing day, at the same hour, they -came again, saying, in the manner of Paul Pry, " I hope we don't intrude—forgot to examine the tie trns of the first floor;" for which pretended purpose they were admitted up stairs. They had not been long there before the door bell rang. The woman left the "surveyors" to airs% er it, and .was detained in the passage in conversation, by a respectable-looking man, who made ingniiies about the sewer, gas pipes, &c. The " surveyors" availed themselvei of the opportunity to break open the iron safe and get possession of the treasure in the tin box, with which they got clear off. There was about .4001. in the box, in bank notes and sovereigns, a *few checks which pe,sons had lost at play, and some I. O. U.'s for diff.rent sums. The checks and 1. 0. U.'s not being worth a penny , were returned in the tin box, locked, a few days after. The partners of the concern have been unceasing in their efforts to find out the thieves, without success. A five pound note, part of the money only, has ben traced to Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's; but there all further clue is lost. The lionise has been closed ever since :so lar good has sprung out of evil. Martaraoes.—We hate been informed that the fol lowing actually took place within a few miles of this town on Friday evening last :—A young man in the parish .of Donaghadee ran off with a young woman, with the intention of getting married ; the brother of the young woman came shortly after, and took r.ff the sister of toe first ; the see vast girl not *isbing to be torg,:tten, bet off to pay a visit to the party," met wi her vaeelheArt, and, we understand, were all married oc S .tartiay.—Slrabane Morniug Post. MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS:. --f-- . The accounts tioln Manchester received this morn ing state that all is perfectly tranquil, but.trade dull ; three failures had taken place in that town. In Mac clesfield and its vicinity the distress appears to have reached a most alarming height: In Congleton, and within a mile and a half of that town, it i s s aid thst twenty-three silk factories are closed, and that the rest are only working two or three days a week. The bankers in Maccletfield are said to have refused any further advances on the poor -rate, and the overseers in consequence had been compellsd on one occasion to keep the poor people who applied for relief de tained in the Town-hall, while they sent to coil ct the rates from the few individuals who were still able to pay them. Those rates, though recently doubled, were insufficient, and the sums raised by private subscription were exhausted. ?ROM Tilt BLACKBURN MAIL, MAY 10. Srora or TRADE.—For several weeks past we have forborne to say anything of the state of trade in this town and neighbourhood, because our report would have been but a monotony of eg evil tidings." We are happy, however, this week to announce a change for the better. The mat ket at Manchever being more brisk on Tuesday week produced a correspon ling effect -in the warehouses here. More work has been delivered out to the weavers, at, in sitme instances, better prices, and some of the printing establishmdnts in the neigh bourhood have received, during the last week, I irge orders, and have therefore began aga;n to employ their workmen. Notwithstanding this, there are a great number out of employ. and should a renewed demand foe manufactures continue, it must be some time bef.to the condition of our labouring classes can be effectually ameliorated. The number of persons committed from this place is twenty. MANCHESTER, TUeSDAY E•ZIKIXIII, MAY 9. Matters still continue greet here, but a few local failures in the commercial world have caused some unpleasant interruptions in trade. The prompt pecu• niary aid sent fr ma the subscription in London has been put in course of application, and the poorer classes appear not only resigned, but grateful. There is not the least reason to think that they can now, in this neighbourhood at all events, be induced to commit any aggression upon their late employers. This day's market was crowded, but the general deal ings in the raw material were slack. Ho.vever, this circumstance is accounted for, without any particular influence from the late disturbances. The week before the races (they are fixed for the 16th inst.) is always a dull time of manufacturing trade, most people being then preparing for the coming sport; and besides this cause, a more cogent reason is assigned, in the fact, that the great canal which forms the line of communi cation with London, is this week closed for business, the water being partially dia.% n off, for cleansing the bed of the excavation. This operation is performed once a year, and it always, and necessarily, affects the town trade. Placards issuing from the better and mote influential older of workmen, cautioning the less reflecting of their comrades against combination and violence, have been very widely circlulated, and attendeJ by tl e best eff cti. All the accounts brought into Manchester this day, by those who attended the market, concur in affirming the tranquillity of the neighbouring dis ticts. These ate still daily augmen tations to the military lotce, but these precautionary arrangements appear no longer necessary. They Wier: maintain excellent discipline, and have really acted with great forb,•arance, unler cticum.stances calculated to arouse men's tempers. - MANCIIMXR, TUMMY NIGHT. The sensation produced by the breaking of power looms having a good deal subsided, nothing is now talked of here but the badness of trade, and the distress of the people. Indeed, much as has been said upon this latter subject, it is far, very far, from being exhausted. or adequately described. Many of the more cat efal and industrious weavers, who a few months ago were in a state of comparative comfort and plenty, are now re duced to a state of wretchedness quite indescribabl . These pt.or people had laboured ha. d—they had " risen early, and gone to bed late, and eaten the bread of cat e fulness," and by this most praiseworthy conduct, they had contrived to get their little abodes decently fur nished, and, themselves comfortably clothed. But the "hard times," as they express it, came; the price of their labour from little was reduced to less, till at last they had Ito labour to perform. Then every spare article of wearing apparel belonging to them selves and children was pawned or sold ; and at length their household furniture ; the feather btid and the chest of drawers, upon the possession of which they SQ much prided themselves, followed toeir clothes, and left their dwellings desolate and naked. Unable to keep posses sion of their houses, many of them jo'ned together, arid took a singje room, where several families are now huddled together, in a state of extreme wretchedness, the very idea of which is enough to harrow up the soul of inhumanity itself. I have heard of a daughter, whose mi.ther is lying—not on a bed, for that has been disposed 1 of—but who is lying its the last stage of sickness, who has been obliged to strip the shift from the body of her almost dying parent, for the purpose of procuring her something to moisten her parched lips ! This is no ima ginary case, and would to Goo I could say that it was a solitary one! Bad as the condition of the weavers is in Manchester and oiler large towns, I am informed that it is much worse in the country villa,;e4. In the remote and moon' tainous districts of the county, the sufferings of the poor are, comparatively, unknown. The distress experienced by the inhabitants of such places as Colne and Padihant is beyond description. At these villages nearly all the inhabitants are poor ; and, of those who do not actually labour for their bread, the great majority ate salving so severely under the pressure of the times that they are able to afford but very ti ailing relief to their star wing neighbours. In the vicinity of Padiharn a great pro portion of that once happy and industrious population ate actually turned beggars; and the roads, for miles round, are crowded with pale and ghastly wretches, reduced almost to the last state of starvatii n, who, w ith tears and supplications, eagerly solicit the charitable assistance cf the passing traveller. The potatoe sellers, calculating upon an • increased demand, in consequence of the extensive subscription going en, have raised the price of that article to' Ms. a load. A seller yesterday in t! e Stockport mat ket, lam told, thought proper to ask 12s. a load ; ter which the mob thought pro l er to empty his sacks, and pelt him out of the market with his own potatoes. ~. The market fur manufactured goods to day has been exceedingly dull The demand for twist has been rather brisk. It is evident that the stir in the ntarket last Tuesday arose from the desire of the London buyers to gut their goods of before the stoppage of the cmnaL—The town and rseigbisciurbood.continues perfectly transtiii.
