Who were prereated from working daring the continu es'se of the frost, were admitted. At the sitting of the Home Committee, Mrs. (lould tad Mr. Gould, and Mr. Aston, were appointed to join the internal Com niche, Messrs. Bodkia-and Hick, together with Mr. Campbell, the Chairman, and the gentlemen on the . sightly rota for attending to the Admission of the homestiess, were appointed Managers of the internal rogithittotts in the house. It was resolved by the Committee, that a respectful application should be made to the Lord Ma}or, for the amiantus of the City Police, in furtherance of the be ne...oleat purposes of the institution. We are inform er', that his Lordship has, returned a favourable an swer to the application, sod has signified his intention to make anme immediate arrangements upon the sub ject. The Ladies of the Guardian and other provisional . protective societies, sent a tender of their services as a Ladies Committee, to superintend the arrangements of eke female wards. The assistance rendered by this Casmdittee last winter was untied to be of the highest kmenehasce, and the improvement which they effected is 105 women and 45 children, which were placed un der their charge. As there hive been yet no females amongst those who have already entered the asylum, the Committee did not think the formation of a Ladies' Committee at present necessary. . Two Members of the Committee, Mr. Gould and Mr. Acton, perambulated the city onTseaday night, and liiited the shambles of Newgate, Leadenhall, and • I Markets, which are the general resort of the wretched in the metropolis daring inclement seasons, they...ere found now almost deserted. The ;knees of Lestlesobritip were also head without tenants. The numerous gangs of wretched girls who formerly infested Bishopegate-street, and who, after selling mambos in the street during the day, made their pil lows of the stones in the night, were nut to be found. 'lb. Gentlemen of the Committee were particularly struck at the absence of all seafaring men, not one of mhos could they dud in the streets. The benefits of a geseral refuge for the bouseless are strongly illus trated is a ease which occurred on Monday night, Lear London-bridge. A poor man, who had been siriverto town from the country, in search of employ, had been wandering about the streets, and towards • : dusk app'ied for shelter and relief at the watch-house. • niatiog. that unless it were afforded hint, he must pot tisk of hunger or cold. A deaf car was turned to the eappheation of the unfortunate man, who declared, thet salsas he obtained a lodging that night. he mrst perish is the streets; to prevent this he went and stole a pier" of beef from a shop in Crooked-lane, and by that means the gentlemen of the Commifte became in formed of the circumstances, and the man obtained his object, • . Mr. Western, M. P., waited on her Majesty on Twee ay to present an Address from the iuhabitints e; Colchester. TeN TZ RIPEN LOYAL Annanes.—A snag meeting was held on &dardsy last at Tenterden, on the Requisi . „Mon of the Vicar, with a Captain and Lieutenant, and • , ilonte others of the Jurats, at which the Vicar, in niov itig the address, particularly requested the Mayor not to elhew the introduction of any question or discussion ; : sleet *it? had Mee to moos a-loyal sacks**, bat sot to argot. This was seconded by a jarat. and after the • ineffectual attempts of a gentleman to speak. who was prevented because he was suspected of intending op. pasitisin, t,ie Captain said the address was carried ; but a few persons objected that it had not been pat to .the vote. A reverend gentleman. who. from Ishii established character and advanced age. had envy ~, claim to the attention of all present, then rose to move a 'easter-address to hie Majesty. praying him to dim , miss his present ministers, representing the distressed state of the country, and deprecating the late u neon mite. tissial measures against tie Queen. his was borne down down with noise and clamour by the ultra-loyal party. After a speech from the Captain, who said that these that did not approve of it might leave the room, the original address was pot to the vote; the other being ....Oka illegal. becalm it was not mentioned in the re- quisition. It was then put to a show of bands whe titer the original should be carried or not, and decided by the corporation in its favour.

We make no apology for the insertion of the Meet ing of the Queen's Friends, as we are satisfied the noble sentiments and very appropriate toasts will be read with the greatest pleasure and satisfactluti. Since the ever tnemorable I ntry of the illustrious Bbrington in this ton u, sae hose not witnessed so glorious a day as yesterday se'nnight, when we cele brated the triumph of the Queen over a disgraceful subornation procured under the odious Milan Commis sion. After the cloth was removed, the following toasts were given by the Chairman, Thonsere Hogg, Nog. s- r i• 'Eke King.--'rod may he never forget - that the Crown is held in trust for the benefit of the people."—" The Queen :a speedy establishment to the Queen's rights and the people's liberties—with three times aree.' —" England's balance v ith the Boroughmongers for the 141:1 of l'ains and Penaltir.,— , her Bill of Rights and Liberties."—" Tl:c Liberty of the Press, our beacon and pilot." The ilidirman said he would now prJpgr,e the health of an individnal than whom there is none more respe,:ted, and who insist be loved and respected wherever he is known— ' " Earl Forte-cite ; and way lie lung continue to admit the British Senate." This toast was received VI NI loud 'cheering: as soon as silence could be obtained the ! following toast w.:16-4stuposeil :—" The Devonshire Nobles, Karl Cara:inert, Earl Morley, and Lord King, who with such effect opposed the unconstitutional Bill of Pains and Penalties." After which the Chair man observed, to emancipate the slave—to found an altar in the grave of the Inquisition, to annihilAte the trimly of Spain, Portugal, and Nairles, which has been the indelible disgrace of Christianity and of Eu- rope, mast meet the argent approbation of every one present; I beg to propose. " Mav the mighty Lienins of Liberty, with Spanish wings, i'ortitguese feet, and Neapolitan arms, rapidly visit the whole South of. Eu rope, every where diffusing heroism, happiness, and 1 repose." The Chairman would now p ro p ose a toast, which he was sure would excite the must lively sensations in the minds of all present—ene who, in his Parlianietitzry career, had acted congenial to our wishes—one who would never have requested the assent of her ,Majesty to the erasure of her name in i the Liturgy, thus insulting his Queen and his lied-- o.Load Viscount Etaington." After the acclaniniation subsided, a most excellent song, in compliment to our late highly esteemed Representative, was sang in excellent style---" The lion. Newton Fellowes, and the Independent Yeoinaury of the county of Devon." As civil liberty, said the Chairman, is of intrinsic value, and of indispensible obligation ; not local or temporary, but universal and eternal ; not dependant on power, bat the guide of all power, we will drink " Civil Liberty all saver the world."--" The Apostle of Liberty, as of Religion, Archdeacon Bathurst." I hail this victory of the Queen as the day-star of political liberty which lead us to a reform in Parliaineut—to the purgation of the rotten boroughs—and to make the House of Commons the real representation of the people —the only means of security for an oppressed people and a persecuted Queen. "As the persecuted Queen and the oppressed people can only have security in a free national representation, may a resistless public voice command a Parliamentary Reform, according to the Constitution." The bealths of the following gentlemen were then drank:—" Thomas Thorp, Esq. the patriotic Lord Mayor of Loaden." " Mat thew Wood, E:q. the steady supporter of his Queen" " Henry Brougham, Esq. the able advocate of the Queen." " The Chairman, Thomas tlogg, Bag. the \constant supporter of the people's eights, and the friend of constitutional reform," was most loudly cheered. We regret the limits of oar paper trill am permit abundance.

To my faithful Derides of the Parliament—Your decksion of the date of ,the Bth instant, bears, among other thing, that the Parliament has not the faculty of committing to sly departure, If not in so far as it Should be directed to support the Constitution of Spain, which film been sworn to in common. With respect to that 1 iodate, that sty intervention at thmCorgteemof LINA has no other object than that to support the Constitution of Spain sworn to in common. and our social compact, and to subjoin, ac cordiag to the manifestations made to me by you with the message of the 9th instant, that flitch is the decided and - imaulnons will of my people, If ray message of the 7th instant has received any other interpretation, I shish 1 havcretneved every thing equivocal by ntyl other message of the Bth. According to that, my declaration, 1 desire that the Parliament may decide, in positive terms, if it assent to my intervention at the Congress of Laybach, to the end to sustain in the general will of the nation by the Constitotion which has been adopted. and at the same time to remove the threats of w-tr. In case of the affirmative, I desire that the Parlia ment will show it by the confirmation of the Vicar- Generalship in the person of my most beloved son: . the Duke of the Calabrias, proposed to it by me. The Parliament, placing in me a confidence which, by the favour of God, 1 will justify, has not thoogitt it necessary to select four persons to accompany me. On that point I must say, that I did and do still de sire such an accompaniment, because I have like' and do like to profit by their information. If, after this explanation, the Parliament should think such a mea sate necet.sary. I cannot be otherwise than content with it. Ido not, however, intend to exact tas a condition of my intervention at the Congress. And finally, on the reflection that the Sovereigns ueettibted at Laybach expect a speedy answer, I de sire that the Parliatnent will speedily decide on the af fairs set forth above. Naples. Dec. 10.

This morning twenty Irish mails arrived; rigit. from Waterford, as many from Donagbadee, and four from Dublin ; a number, we notice, u a circamstance of rare occurrence. The intelligence received by those from Dublin is also of a singular character. It brings us an account of the proceedings of the County Meet, ing held, according to appointment, at Dublin, on Saturday last, of a Meeetting, called st the requisition of a numerous and weighty body of courtly person ages, whose names we gave in one of our former papers, fu; the purpose of proposing a loyal addrrw to the KING ; of a meeting legally convened and cot, ducted, yet suddenly dissolved, as wen as oppeaitias to the objects of the courtly Addressers was perceived; and not only dissolved in an arbitrary meaner, but 'actually dispersed by military force.
