. . Anxiety kept her friend and husbandion th e tip toe of expectation ; and within five dais be again went to see her, when a letter passed' hini on the road—he found it on his return, but•hti previously had enjoyed the pleasure of rehding its contents in the altered conduct and happy ,countenance of his wife. ••••• , Three operations secured the ci te ef the.petient . nd rind • a her mint. daily showed power ,anti ..rmness which in its long afflicted state had been almost wholly obscured. The letter SimplY • stated, that the turitive process (which is new Lila singitlir,' is It' Is harmless and powerful) had been resorted td:,- eat such was the state of the patient's mind 114 ittalteidy to warrant the inference of perfect recovery;" •and recommend ed the restoration of . the society Of her child, which, from the nature of the case, had not been advisable for some years. I -(tre n k course of aunt lay the wish of her pa ternal heart wis realised, and the sound of her daughter's feet was musk in her ears. The little in teresting innocent looked her in the face, as if to recognise her features, and then rushed into her arms with the sweet cry of "my mother !" The mother could only exclaim, " my Betsey!" and the fondest caresses of maternal and filial love relievei the weight of.a scene which exceeded all power of ex pressilti, and Was too much for the feelings of most who were present. She appeared much relieved by the Interview, and little was thought of but one continued game of play all d long ; and the hours appeared uncommonly short for several days after. Aftr fe• l i 4; ift 1.3 her d ter a few short excursions for change of air, and exercise, she has been recently restored to her house and family. Has in every respect recovered a ma lady, the seeds of Which were sown in her mind many years ago, and which have left a part of her past life a blank, but in all probability the future may be ren dered a scene of usefulness to her own sex, as well as to her family. • On the 17th inst. a company of young men who had been children or boys when her affliction com mencers, and who have since educated above 15,000 poor children among them, most of them having seen her. and admired the wonderful blessing of the Al mighty, in her recovery, assembled with some of their head monitor , of the London Lancasterian Schools, to bid her welcome to her own peaceful ha bitation, at Tooting, near London. The scene was highly interesting to these young people, as when Joseph Lancaster was about their age, most of them were mere boys, and he divided his little loaf with them, when he bad scarce enough for himself. They are young men who have done a great deal to aid and add to the success of his public work, and who never cost the public a farthing ; having been able to maintain themselves a very corisideeable time before the present Committee were in existence. This is not said to derogate from the public merit of the Trustees of the Institution, which has been always gratefully acknowledged • ' but to give an idea of the personal sacrifices of the founde r of the system, and of the feeling attachment and faithful affection of these companions of his sorrows, his labours, and his joys, during the last twelve years. One of these young men, John Veevers, who has distinguished himself in the Birmingham School, be sides establishing several others, and is now going to Ireland, headed the table, and diffused innocent good cheer among all around. Charles Delahoyde, Esq. his amiable wife and daughter, Joseph Lancaster and his wife, with father and sisters, and Ann Springman, the young woman who has so eminently distinguished herself in the Newcastle School for females, and who able to educate two hundred girls in needle work; and teach them to cat out garments by a nbw process, dined with a select party in a private . room, and aferwards joined the public company. On Elizabeth Lancaster entering the great • room, the whole party rose up with one accord,Ond gave the most feeling welcome of applause to-the , person they. now regard as a mother ; and she returned it with a neat and appropriate speech, thanking them for the Interest they took in her happiness, and the high sense she felt of the obligation they were conferring on her. Her address was modest and dignified, and the loud burst' of renewed feeling in the company, showed that it was pathetic. . . _ Elizabeth Lancaster, farther than to state the fact in herself in n most pleasil print ; but the instant that J.

If they were to be discarded by the no, floe, they might still retire with dignity into their own resources, and, contenting themselves with the common interest, run a generous race with their countrymen, in trying which could trade most ho. nourably. They .had ships and colonies—the vast machine must go on ; the . Company would get 7-Bths of what was now derived from their exertions, and they would be relieved from three parts of the ex pence. After having analyzed the Bill in all its parts, he concluded with moving— " That when the Bill, now pending in Parliament, for the renewal of this Company's Charter, -hall have patted through a Committee of the H use of Commons, a; d the blanks of the same be filled up, the Directors he requested t;rcara llis fl u e r neral a C t o s u u r c t h , t m o ee m t e i e ng t , oi t t h bu e 4 D itres ire s et oJ r. t . :,e ha u , t i wi nz u d st ui ii , o .ns rta id n e c r e; ed ;Tied pro-at visions of the said Bill, will he plea.ed to deliver their revert ive op , nions, as to how fir they think it safe and practicable far the Proprietors roam under the said Bill, a ith security to iheir capital, certainty ash) their dividend, and general advantage to themselves, and to the public." Mr. Davis having seconded the motion, Mr. Huse complimented the Learned Proprietor on an Address which was replete with eloquence and information; but was completely at variance with many of his positions. He then at considerable length combated the objections made to the Bill, and totally denied the existence of the dangers appre hended from its acceptance. There were, however, some of its provisions that called loudly for altera tion ; he adverted particularly to that which subject. ed Englishmen to arrest and imprisonment in India, while foreigners were left to roamed libitum—to the power of interference vested in a Secretary of State —to the expences attending the new Ecclesiastical Establishment—and also to the clause permitting an inundation of Missionaries. The Hindeos had been libelled in Parliament. After touching upon various commercial points, he declared himself adverse to the motion, which, in his opinion, was nugatory, as well as 'disrespectful to . the Executive Body. . Mr. Lowanes, with his accustomed vehemence of action, and eccentricity of manlier, which set gravity at defiance, compared . the overpnwerim; eloquence of Mr. 'Randle Jackson to the falls of Niagara, baffling. and destroying all opposition; and that of Mr. Hume to the smooth Now of a canal, impeded in its course by the locks of a bad cause; whilst he (Mr. LoWniles) might aptly be likened to the meandering brook, purifying with its chrystal stream the stag nated ftlfth of the India-house. Ministers had been unjustly attacked,—thecontest rested not with them, int . .the public, whp, after having become the dupes of speculation, were anxious to retrieve themselves by'ov , rrunnitig and desolating-India. He inveighed . with more than usual asperity, against an Ecclesias tical Establishment, which he termed the corner stone of Hierarchy., Missionaries should be confined to the three orders—Protestants, Roman Catholics, and the Kirk of Scotland, which would point out the three , great roads to Heaven : he had also no teat , o bjt ectipn.to .Qasakers . [Mr. Lowndes, in the 1 . COtirSe o hiss spfech l was frequently called to order.] The Hon. Mr. irtutens was of opinion, that-the lubitance of the motion was perfectly proper. He thought a collective would he infinitely preferable to ass individual opinion from the Directors. It had beeu asserted, that the rage for propagating the Gos pel was a mania : he earnestly hoped, that mania would continue so long as it should assume the rasci ailing form of persuasion.
