SIIIP-OWAERS' SOCIETY. Yesterday, the Anniversary Dinner of this Society as held at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, the Earl of LIVERPOOL in the Chair. The Noble Earl was supported on his right by Lord Met.- emus and Mr. LUSHINOTON, and on his left by the Hon. FREDERICK RoniNsos and Mr. MARRYAT.— The company consisted of upwards of three hunired individuals of the first respectability among the per s .ns connected with the Shipping Interest. On the cloth being removed, ".ion Nobis Dwaine" W. 13 sung in excellent style. After which" the King" v as given with three times three. Air—" GOD save tip,; King." The next toast was, " The rest of the Royal Family." Air—" Hail, Star of Brunswick." Then followed, " Lord Melville and the Navy." Lord Met.sna.Le returned thanks. Considering the important station which that Society held in the ma ritime concerns of the country, he was not surprised that they should feel warmly with; respect to every thing that had reference to the British Navy. If they might judge of the future by the past, they were fully justified in believing that the officers and seamen of our Navy would never be wanting to themselves or to the country in the hour of trial—(Applause).—The maritime power of Great Britain was our strong hold, it was on that we were mainly to depend ; and he was confident that as long as our navy was kept up as it was, so long should we maintain the proud situation we now held among the nations of Europe (Applause). He had nothing more to offer, but to beg that the company would accept his best thanks fin- coupling nis name with the toast that had been proposed. The next toast Was," The Army ache United King dom."—Air, " How merrily we live that soldiers be." The Earl of LIvERPOOL then rose, and observed, that he had a toast to propose, which he was confi dent the company would receive with warm and ani mated feeling. He meant to propose—s , Prosperity to the Shipping Interest of this Kingdom." He pro- posed the toast because he considered the shipping interest to be essentially connected with the interests of commerce at large, and he proposed it upon still higher groundi, because he considered the shipping interest to be intimately connected with the security and independence of the country—(Loud applause). We owed our security to out navy, and we owed our navy to the navigation system under which this coun try had so long flourished. It had been supposed by some that we owed our security to our insular situa tion. He admitted that an insular situation was cer tainly an advantage, but history informed us that it was not of itself sufficient for the purpose of national security, while, on the contrary, it had frequently ex posed us to invasion. Our navy and our national security were coeval with the navigation system — (Applause). It was by supporting the shipping in., terest that the security, the honour, and the happiness of the country could best be supported ; and by cone tinning to do so, he trusted that we should long boast the enviable blessings we now enjoyed. The Noble Earl sat down amidst reiterated cheers. Mr. BUCKLE (the Chairman of the Committee), after an appropriate tribute to the merits of the Noble E.trl, then proposed—" The Earl of Liverpool, as Pi esident of the Ship-owners Society." The Earl of LIVERPWL said, that, from the senti ments he had already delivered, it was not necessary for hint to offer anything more than an expres•ion of his thanks for the honour the company had done him. In being elected President of the Society, he felt that he had received an honour which was quite riasolicited on his , AI ; but he felt at the same time that it was one of ~ l iich lie had every right to be p: nod, considering the great respectability of the par ties who had conferred it. He mi t llit also be per niitked to say, that while he prised it highly on pub !se grounds, he was peculiarly gratified with it, as tut, lying a mark of personal respect to himself.. uowcaorx next addressed the company, and said that he had very great pleat re in proposing Mr. Frederick Robinson, the President of the Board of Trade." Whether trade was the mother of the , navy, or the navy the parent of trade, he should not now stop to inquire. It wai a question that did not materially affect those interests which it was the object of the Society to promote. It had been said, two th:atsand years ago, that those who had the command of the sea, had also the command of the land ; bet now something more was sought than the mere poli tical defence of the country. Mr. Rowcroft then proceeded to take an historical view of the progress of navigation from the time of the Carthaginians down to a recent period; and urged, in a strain of eloquent and cogent reasoning, the great advantages which the country derived from the shipping interest. The toast was received with the warmest demonstra tions of applause, and Mr. ROBINSON rose to express his acknowledg ments. He assured the company that he felt ex tremely grateful for the hosour they had done him, and he hoped they would allow him to say that he had entered on the discharge of the duties which de volved upon him in his official situation, with a perfect knowledge that, in every step he took, he was under the eye of men who were fully competent to judge of the props iety of his being 'appointed to it. Therefore, from the experience which they must since have had of him, the present compliment was the more grateful to his feelings. Long before he had been connected with the navigation system, he felt deeply impressed with the truth of those opinions re. specting it which his Noble Friend in the Chair had so ably delivered. He knew that the Navy was the basis of our security—that it exalted the glory, and confirmed the prosperity of the country—(Loud op plai man could recollect the unexampled bravery of our seamen in the late unexampled war, without feeling how much our success had been pro moted by those whose representatives he now saw around him. We who had received from our fathers the most convincing proofs of what the Navy could effect, might feel assured that posterity, in future, would find the Aii l :ping interest the same, and en titled to the same eternal gratitude—(Applause). Mr. MA RIITAT then presented himself to the corn pony, and observed, that the clouds which for a time obscured the commercial hotizon, had now passed away, and that our Ministers were engaged in labo rious investigations, with the view of extending the trade of the country. They were willing to allow the utmost possible latitude, without, however, ad. rnittiog the principle of a free trade, which some theorists were so strenuous in supporting. South America was now rising from tyranny into inde pendence, and we must therefore look to the new world for indemnity for all that we had lost in the old. It WAS to that quarter that we were to look for a new scope for enterprize, and for a mart which should give a new impulse to our manufactures, whereby other interests would also be benefited. It was impossible but the Agricultural Interest must flourish in proportion as commerce was extended.— From all that had transpired respecting the proceed. ings at Verona, we might see the predominance of British feeling over selfish views of policy ; and he thought that his Majesty's Ministers were entitled to the gratitude, not only of England, but of mankind at large. He should now conclude by proposing the " health of Mr. Canning and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers, and may they long continue the g uardians of the Commercial Interest of this country.' The Earl of LIVERPOOL returned thanks on the part of Mr. Canning and the other Ministers. For Mr. Canning he could say, that it was his most anxi cans desire to have attended on the present occasion, and nothing could have prevented him but a cir cumstance over which he had no controul. His Right Hon. Friend wished to assure the company how gra tified he should have been, and how disappointed he Wits—(Applause.) Mr. F. - RoaiNsos gave—" Prosperity to the City of London." Mr. Alderman BRYDGES, in returning thanks, La mented the absence ef his worthy colleague, Sir Wil liam Curtis, a man who was never absent on such occasions, if he could avoid it. The CHAIRMAN next gave—" Ships, Colonies, and Commerce." Mr. R. H. MARTIN proposed " the health of Mr. Marryatt," which was drunk with applause. The CHAIRMAN gave successively, " Success to the Seamen's Hospital," and the " West India Schools;" and Lord MELVILLE returned thanks as President of both those Institutions. The health of " The Stewards" was next drank, and Mr. GUTHRIE, in returning thanks observed, that as the objects of the Institution could not be effected without recruiting their funds, a subscription would be opened for that purpose. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The outward and homeward bound." The CHAIRMAN said, that before they separated, he would propose a toast which was peculiarly ap propriate to that Meeting, " The wooden walls of old England." This toast Was drank with applause, and at half past ten o'clock the Earl of LIVICRPOOL left the Chair. The company shortly after separated. LAST FRIDAY was the Fourth Day of Drawing, when No. 16,52'2, drawn a Prize of TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS, was Sold in SHARES by CAR.- Rom, 19, Cornhill, and 26, Oxford-street. This is a continuation of that good fortune which has for so many years distinguished CARROLL'S Offices.

NEXT TUESDAY, December 17, is the Last Day of Drawing but One. A plan is in preparation to light all the public clocks in London with gas. Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, a most alarming and destructive fire broke out in the house of Mr. Seabourn, grocer and cheesamonger, Foie street, Lirnehouse, which completely destroyed that and the adjoining house, together with other pro perty. No lives were lost. Wednesday se'nnight, seven stacks of corn, with out offices, consisting of barn, cow houses, and sheds, were destroyed by fire, at Ballinvoer, the residence of James Wall, Esq. near Castletown-ltoche, Done , raile. The fire commenced at ten o'clock at night. Tili: ARMY.

THE BEACON NEWSPAPER. Monday last, at Edinburgh, Mr. DUNCAN Swint sox, printer, publisher, and proprietor of the Beacon newspaper (now discontinued), was cast in damages of £ESOO, in an action for libel, brought by Mr. W. Gtasos, Writer to the Signet. The offensive article was signed " John Nimmo," and appeared in the Beacon in June, 1821: it contained some severe re flections on the pursuer's conduct, who was employed as Agent in the trial of Francis Mackay, for forgery, in the High Court of Justiciary, in February, 1819. The trial lasted from ten o'clock in the morning till :en at night. The Counsel for Mr. GIBSON were Mr. JEFFREY, Mr. Cocicatrat4, and Mr. MoNcarErr. Toe Counsel for Mr. STEVENSON were Mr. DUNCAN MiNEILL, and Mr. PATRICK ROBINSON. Many additional instances continue to be given of landlords lowering their rents, for that appears the only present resource to the suffering tenants y. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Bart. of Netherby, has for given all arrears of rent due over his whole estates, up to the current year; and has granted a reduction, varying from five to thirty per cent. according to the circumstances of each case, for two years certain ; at the expiration of which time, the rents are to be re gulated according.to the price of the principal arti cles of farm-produce. Two clerks at the Bank have been suspended, in consequence of their jobbing in the Funds, whi ch is against the regulations of that establishment. Last night twenty-five male convicts were removed from Newgate, in a caravan strongly guarded, to Portsmouth, in order to be embarked for New Soun Wales, their place of destination for life. On their quitting the prison they gave three loud cheers. - MA NIIION.HOUSI. A NOVI= MAIL-COACH Itolllllllllro Friday last the Exeter Mail-Coach was robbed of a parcel, containing about 1,0001. in bank notes, and 401. in gold. The agent's of the banking-house to which the property belonged, for some reason or other. did not give information of the robbery at the Man sion-House until Monday, and then Mr. Brown, the Marshal, and John Forrester, the officer, proceeded to make an investigation. It appeared from what took place before the LORD Mavoa yesterday, that Baker, the coach-guard, had received from the banking-house in Exeter the parcel, and that it had been stitched into his pocket, according to the practice of the house. He, however, did not allow ft to remain long in that situation, but cut it from his pocket, and stowed it away in the seat of the coach, assigning as an excuse, that it was too heavy to carry. There were two females in the coach on its arrival at the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, where it stopped on Friday evening for a short time. It was in that short interval the parcel was stolen. The guard opened the door of the coach, having a light in his hand, and looked under the seat where the parcel lay with a few others. At the same moment, a man on the other side of the coach looked in at the window, and spoke to the guard. The guard then shut down the seat without taking out anything, and closed the door of the coach. Very soon afterwards a man (whom the women believed to be the same that had spoken to the guard), said to them as they sat in the coach, " Give me that parcel." Under the impression that he was a porter con nected with the coach, they raised up the seat, and handed him the parcel nearest to them. It appeared to be covered with light paper. The coach then drove off to the Bull and Mouth in the and there it was discovered by the guard, that the valuable parcel with which be had been entrusted, was gone. Upon opening the seat, he asked the women who had been there after the parcels? They replied, that no one had got into the coach, but that a person had asked for a parcel at Piccadilly, and that they had given him one from the seat, supposing that all was right. The guard made no observation to them upon hearing this account of the matter, but appeared much frightened, and said to somebody that " it was a parcel of consequence." After wards he said he would go back to Piccadilly. The Logo !Maros asked the female passenger who attended yesterday, whether she did not think it singular that a stranger should ask her for a parcel? She replied, that the fact of the man having said " Give me that parcel," convinced her that he was a porter employed to call for it. The man to whom the parcel had been handed appeared to be a young man ; but she could not at all describe his person. Mr. Brown and Forrester having heard that the guard was still on the road, went down to Ilounslow on Wednesday to meet him, and there got upon the coach, for the purpose of observing his conduct. Upon reaching town. they saw a person of bad character on the spot where the coach stopped, but observed no communication between him and the guard. The ca se stands for re-consideration. Bow-STazirr.—Rosiume or airs BIRMINGUAM Coarn.—Yes• terday, information was received at the Office of the robbery of the Balloon Birmingham Coach of a parcel from the house of Massrs. Hanbury and Co. Bankers, London, directed to Messrs. Taylor and Co. Bankers, in Birmingham, one of the principal Bankers in that commercial town, to whom they are agents in London. The parcel contained Bank notes to the amount of be tween three and 40001. The robbery was committed in the most daring manner, and no doubt by some person, or an agent, who knew the parcel and its contents, as it was actually stolen from the inn yard of the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane. At the same time, just before the coach left the inn-yard, a parcel, con taining Bank notes to a similar amount from the Bank of Messrs. &chile and Co. was stolen. Officers were dispatched in pursuit of the robbers. tittrou-Ilat.L.—Yesterday the case of James Carrington, who stood charged with unparalleled impositions on the benevolence of several of the Nobility, Clergy, and others, by writing begging letters," &c. wad finally investigated, and the prisoner was committed fur three months to liriatun Tread-Mill. Ctrl Tvrams--Wedro,day Mr.lltracomas applied to the Tom Maros, in the name of the Committee upon Tythes, for per mission to hold a Meting of the City Parishes in the Egyptian Hall. His Lordship immediately acceded to the request, but, we understand, he is not to preside, as he is one of those em powered by the }tat of Parliament to decide upon the question. .it;oitrizvo .7.\rgiteigAt% BETTING' AT TATTRRSALLi, DEC. lE i / to 1 apt F.milyeolt 10 to 1 avt Talisman 11 to 1 agst Web MCKIM 110 to 1 apt Pally tu.l apt say at►ee 041 7to 1 apt Zahlt I 16 - to akst to Illdtad 9to 1 agst sister to S.silor I 3 to I apt Moses 3 to 1 agst Swap Ci.A , I 5 to 1 art Postkuma 7 to 1 agst Ajax DONCASTIII ST.

At the Coursing Meeting at Tilshead and Fishettos Down., Mr. Sperring's yellow puppy bitch, 14 months old, bred by Mr. Corner, not only won her three matches on Wednesday and Thursday, but killed her three hares, which was not the case with many winners; out of 94 courses on Tuesday, there being only five hares killed. FOOT It ACV.. A foot race took place on Monday last, between the two ce lebrated runners. C. Corfield and J. Draper, natives of Chet:. marsh, near Bridgenorth, who are both young. but out of train+ ing. The race excited very considerably interest, from the known fame of the parties; the :.take was considerable ' • betting even at starting. The distance was from Sutton to the Ball Inn, Bridgenorth, full five and a half miles, aver bad roads, hills and vales, which they accomplished under twenty-eight minutes (being at the rate of 12 miles an hour. Corfield was the winner by only a few yards. The race was finely contested, and equal to any running in 'he annals of the sport. PEDESTRIANISM. Wright, the pedestrian, who lately walked from London to Baldock, and back, a distance of 75 miles a day, for three days, has undertaken, for a bet of 60 sovereigns, to walk 100 miles in 25 successive hours, between the five and six-mile stones on the Romford road, started yesterday at four o'clock. Betting 5 to 2 in favour of time; for, considering the length and dark ness of the night, it is thought to be out of the power of any man of his age to complete it, he being in his 58th year. CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODIES OP HICKMAN AND MR. ROE. This Inquest took place at the Swan with Two Necks, on Fii:chley Common, before the Coroner for Middlesex, at eight o'clock on Wednesday evening. The body of Thomas ILckman was mutilated in the most shocking manner; no part of it was discernible to his best friends. Air. Roe's was different. The Coroner's Jury returned a vet diet, as to both, of " Accidental Death." It was proved that the proprietor of the Peter borough waggon, corning up to town, had a lock cart attached behind it. The night was dark ; it was about half-paq eight. The conduct of the men was quite injudicious. Gas finding himself locked in the wheel, got away in the hest way be could, by throw• ing the vehicle up a nine-inch bank, on to a five-foot path, the off wheel of the vehicle caught a lug, which brought him on the waggon. Had not this circumstance happened, from the extent of the feet path, five feet wide, up-in which they were, and the near wheel being within two inches of a bank, • they would both have been thrown into a field.— The road was strewed with the blood of both ; they were killed in an instant ; the carter knew nothing of the accident until he was apprised of it by James Ball, a gro3m, who was walking on the foot-path; he saw the accident ; the chaise was overturned, and the two unfortunate men were plunged between the waggon and the cart. The wheels of the cart, which was heavily laden, crushed the heads of both tO atom.. The distance where their blood was spilled Was about twelve inches. Gas was first killed, and but few remnants of his head were left. That part which remained in his front exhibited one of his eyes knocked out. Mr. Hoe's head exhibited a melancholy spectacle too; his crush was upon the temple. Hickman, who kept the Adam and Eve, in .rea•in street, has left a wife and two children. His body was brought home immediately after the Inquest, and the feelings of a very kind wife may be better con ceived titan described. The boJy of Mr. Hoe, who has also left a wife and two children, was removed to his house in Aldersgate-street. During the dense fog of Wednesday, an accident happened, which had nearly proved fatal to several persons. As a Woolwich coach, full of inside and outside passengers, was driving at a quick rate, just after it had passed the Five Bells, on its way to town, the coachman ran against a heavy country cart, loaded with dung. The stage was instantly upset, and the people on the roof were pitched with great violence against an empty coal-waggon passing by; two of them fell on the shafts, one of whom had his left shoulder badly dislocated ; the other had his jaw bone broken, with the loss of some front teeth. An elderly Greenwich pensioner, with a wooden leg, was thrown against the near fore-wheel, and had his right aim broken just below the elbow, with two or three contusions on the head ; the other outside passengers escaped with little injury. The persons within, con sisting of four men, a lady, and two children, were not materially hurt, except the female (a Mrs. Pal ma`, who, in the act of saving her youngest child, had her left elbow and side of her face lacerated by the glass of the door ; two of the gentlemen, Messrs. Edgar and Thornton, in trying to assist Mrs. P. received some slight bruises. Another stage coming up soon after this unfortunate accident, and luckily ' having only one inside passenger, the whole of the I sufferers Were put into it, and conveyed to town. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, DEC. 13. The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are considerable. Wheat of prime quality sells freely at Monday's prices; other sorts do not go off so briskly. Barley sells well at last quota tions. Beans and Peas remain us at the beginning of the week. Oats sell heavily, and hardly support Monday's prices.
