Tuesday evening, a must numerous and respectable meeting of ladies and gentlemen, of different religious denominations, tool. place at the Freetnasone%tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's hll's:lds. The great hall, which was fitted tip for the occasion, was filled to an overflow, anti, on a moderate calculation, cont.nue4 no less than a thousand persons. At sewn o'clock Sir George Keith, Bart. wa, , unanimously called to the chair, when a preparatory prayer was read by the Rev. Mr. Churchill; after which the Chairman addressed the meeting at some length, wherein he described the happy results likely to arise from the present institution, whica had for its object the evangelising of the poor inhabitants of London anti us vicinity. The Rev. Mr. Churchill moved the first resolution, that Mr. Patteson be the treasurer to the Society for the ensuing year, which was carried on a show of hands. The Rev. Mr. SilDllloll% rose.—Many countries had formed Missionary Societies to extend the gospel abroad, but none in cellars and other unseemly places around us; and surely it became us to look to our own families, and those immediately around us that never think of going to places of divine worship. It was the great object of this Society to visit those in hospitals, and communicate to them the gospel. The Rev. Mr. Westley was happy see such a union of souls as was then present. ale had been a Missionary these 50 years past. (Applause.) Perhaps the name of John Westley was not unknown to t his society:—(Ap klause.) He should still etnnin de to prOpagate the swivel. The Rev. Mr. Sturteveut was happy to have lived to this moment, when this met with such support. lie calculated that, trona the number of inhabitants, there was not accommodation fur one in every twenty in all our places of worship, and to alleys and courts; he was confident that not one out of every fifty go to any place of worship on the Load's-day. lie had Munclf opened a place, and it had been very successful ; and he was positive, if reverend gentlemen would open u similar and suitable place, it would be the means of emancipating from ignorance and depravity thousands of individuals, by instilling in their minds the word of Christ. lie considered this society was 111:;1111Cl from any other ; rivalled no other, and would, by the exert ion of christian friends, be sure of succt ss. lie exhorted the meeting to use their endeavours in facilitamitt such a glorious and heavenly project. The Rev. Gentleman concluded by snoring that Mr. G. A. Rubinson be appointed as se cretary to the society fur the enining year, winch was sicondi d by the Rev. Mr. Farrant, and carried uua- ninnsusly. N 1 r. ltittinson pleslgetl I • self to use his exertions to do justice to the situation, and hontlmr to h11115.:11 . , iu liming the ititcreiiin of so otuellent a bocitty. The 1L...

FARMING SOCIETY OF IRELAND. n isG race the Duke of Leinstcr, the Earl of Meath, and Viscoant Elsinore, us a Deputation from the Farming Society of Ireland, attended by their Se cretary, waited upon his Excellency the Marquis Wellesley on Friday, and presented the following Address:— • To his Excellency the Most Noble Richard Marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant General and General Govettior of MAY jr PLEASE YOUlt EXCELLENCY, We, as Directors of the Farming Society of Ireland, most respectfully present to your Excellency a copy of our Chatter, by which we arc entitled to the valued privilege of calling your Excellency our Patron. And we confidently trust, that, under the guidance of such a Patron, the Fainting Society may be made an efficient instrument of much advantage to this country. Its objects and its labours have hitherto been directed (we hope successfully) to improved ploughing, draining, and irrigating— to the iniprtation and growth of seed corn, the dispersion of good implements, and the improvement of neat cattle, sheep, and swine. Whatever advancement in agriculture Ireland can boast has been principally eflocted 'since its institution, and by its mains. Latterly, the Ants of the Society have been fettered by the limitation of its funds ' under the necessary system of general re t re nchment. It looks forward, with hope, to better times, mid to the wittlom and liberality of your Excellency's patronage. The Society comprises amongst its menthe's almost all the rank and respectability of the country—ready to co-operate in every exertion towards agricultural improvement which your Excellency, their ruspecteu Patron, shall do them the honour to suggest. lour Excellency's comprehensive mind, whilst it admits the importance of improved agriculture to every country, will in tuitively appreciate its peculiar value to Ireland, as the most efibctual means uf providing permanent employment ha a dis trased population, and Of furnishing to the State the full benefit of her great natural resources. To which his Excellency was pleased to return the following gracious answer :-- WIiLLEsLEY. Under the authorit; of your Charter, I accept tie honourable charge which you have been pleased to intrust to nee, whit a high sense of is public impottanee. It will be my anxious endeavour to afford every assistance within my power to the Farming Society, in the promotion of its useful and salutary objects; and I sincerely hope that you may continue to advance the agriculture of Ireland,and to diffuse the spirit of honest industry. It is painful to me to team, that the efforts of the Society have been fettered by the limitation of its funds, under the system of general retrenchment lately adop ted ; and I shall be happy to avail myself of any proper means of augmenting your thuds, consisuntiy with the attention which is due to the sum economy of the public finances, But I cannot omit this opportunity of declaring, that it is not less my inclination than my bounden duty so give every aid to the progress of that wise UM/ necessary sys tem of geaeral retrenchment which has been adopted by his Majesty's Government and by Parliament, and which is as essen tial to the true dignity of the Crown, as it is indispensably necessary for the sectuil of the State, and for the inteiests and welfare of the ucuple. 1 ant deeply impressed with the value and the importance of your Institution ; and sensible as I must be of the utility of such establishment>, in whatever country they may bare been intro duced, I feel mat they arc of more peculiar interest and advan tage iu Deland—where the introduction of habits of industrious labour is indispensably requisite for the safety of property, and for ale happiness of the great body of the peopl e. W. DUBLIN, JAN. 9.—The Marquis of Wellesley held his first Levee yesterday at the Castle. The Catholic Archbishops and Bishops presented an address of congratulation, which his Excellency was pleased to b receive in his closet. The Noble Marquis assured the Catholic Prelates, that it was by his .ligjesty's particular desire they recived this mark of special distinction. Nothing could surpass his Excellency's urbanity, politeness, and cordiality. It has made an impression on the hearts of the Right Rev. Gentlemen present that will out be speedily effaced. The address of the Catholic laity was presented by a numerous and most respectable deputation of Catholic Peers, Baronets, and gentlemen, with the Earl of Fingal at their head. This venerable No bleman wurc the star and sash of the Order of St. Patrick, which mark of favour and distinction he received from the hands of our Monarch, during his late visit to this country. His Excellency was pleased to receive the address in the most gr.,eiotts manner. The levee was numerously/and brilliantly attend ed. His Excellency was moat magnificently attired in purple velvet, sickly erabroidervti. At twelve - - I o'clock the carriages began to arrive at the grand portal, and in less than half an hour the state rooms were literally crowded. The carriages conti nued to set down until four o'clock. The appear ance of the streets leading to the Castle during this time strongly recalled to our recollection their ap pearance on the memorable day of the King's Levee in August last. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. A meeting of magistrates was held on the 6th inst. to investigate the late unfortunate occurrence at Dromore. The Earl of Bchnore presided, with great intelligence and impartiality. Several wit nes,es were examined. We lament to state, that the last Clonmel papers report several new attempts to plunder arms. Se veral notices have also been posted, and sent to in dividuals in the county of Tipperary against tithes, rents, and taxes. It is said that the special commission will resume its sittings at Limerick on Saturday , a nd that the judges and crown lawyers will also proceed to Kerry and Tipperary. The fidlowing is an extract of a letter received yesterday from a gentleman residing at Omagh : " I have got hold of a famous Captain, who com manded 100 men. who broke into houses, robbed arms, and swore people in the parish of Sydaunet. lie is a tenant in a property to which I am agent, and has kept the country around in a state of dis turbance for years back. This is the first attempt to rob arms in this county." ()RANGE HOMICIDE. --On Tuesday, the Ist of January, according to an account in the Dublin Evening Port, a general meeting of the magistrates of the county of Tyrone, among whom were the Earl of Bellmore, Sir John Stewart, Major Craw ford, and several others of the most respectable per sons in the county, assembled in the Court-house, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances connected with the murder of Michael O'Brien, at Dunmore on the 26th of December. The entire of Friday, and a great part of Saturday was taken up in the examination of witnesses, whose concur rent testimony clearly proved, that previous to the wanton attack of the yeomen, no riot or disturb ance of any kind whatever had taken place, either within or without the house, when the man was killed. Lieut. Hamilton who commanded the corks had been apprehended and taken be some magis trates, who would have committed him for the of fimce, had not his father, who is himself a magis trate, most solemnly pledged himself to deliver his son to those gentlemen on Friday, the day of the investigation. On the faith of this assurance he was suffeied to remain at liberty, and has escaped from justice by absconding from the county. Afier the investigation was closed, application was made to the chairman, the Earl of Belmore, on the part of the much injured publican, for military assist ance to apprehend the offenders. His lordship, however, very properly declined granting it, ob serving that the civil power must be first employed, but that if, after their exertions, the perpetrators of the crime could not be secured, lie would then endeavour to procure for them the aid of the mili tary. neductiongf Itents.—The tenants of Mrs.llankey, of Grosvenor-square, London, who is nearly the sole proprietress of Easendine, near Stamford, having presented their petition a short time back for an abatement of rent, have this week received, in and swer to it, an anouncement of the generous deter mination of that lady to returnfifty per cent. upon her rents due at Michaelmas last, in addition to 16 pet cent. returned at Lady-day, and that her te nants in Essendine shall not be called upon for the last quarter's rent due at Michaelmas last, until Lady next. One of those tenants who has desired the publication of this gratifying instance of libera lity, observes, in corroboration of the strict truth of this statement, that his half-years rent has been re duced from 1251. to 521. 10s. (or 661. per cent.) The Roman Catholics of Dublin have voted a congratulatory address to his Excellency the Marquis of Wellesley. An address from the liberties of the city was also vutcxl to the Lord Lieutenant, his an swer to which is in the pure of conciliasion, and perfectly in unison with the recommendation of the King to all those in authority under his Majesty.-- A King's messenger arrived on Wednesday s'ennight at Limerick, with a respite, directing that the exe cution of Martin and J. Grady, which was to take place on the following day, should be postponed till further orders. This clemency, it is hoped, will have a salutary effect upon the deluded peasantry. A commercial letter of the 26th ultimo, front Trieste, states, that news bad arrived there, by a vessel from Smyrna, of an embargo having been laid by the Turks on all Greek property. There was, however, according to the report, no want of Millis, of different Eutopean flags, in the Archipe. lag°, for the protectiou of their cuatraerm. --_ ~..
