As soon as the cloth oils removed, the usual liraltlis of the Royal Family were given bum the Chair with loud applause. Lord Sinmourti rose, and roposed the health of the President of this valuable.

Dr. LI/sum:Tow lose to call the attention of ' the Urtling t o id l e great objects of this Institution. II had been founded in 1803, hy the late Mr. Whitaker; its objects were then let mild 81/IlreClirs refl. though at that peliaal the amount of pauperism Hod crime bore nu proportion to what it wifortu 'irately did at the present day. The increase of crime since that pet toil was in the proportion of 3! to 30, and the difficulty of procuring employ went for the pour had hardly increased in n less ratio. 'FI nriusery object of this Institution was the pro curing ruinloyinetit fur those who had incurred the penalty of the law—to such persons it afforded a reformatory shelter. The Institution had in deed the advantage of a Treasurer, who in the hour of trial looked into his own purse to promote their views, and was, in fact, in advance thousands fur their benefit.— (Great applause.)— It appeared by the Report or the Committee, that during the last year, SU males had been admitted, of which number 71 had (seers in some degree or other brought before the tribunals of their country. See the inestimable advantages of provitinig a re fuge for such characters, and placing nut only in dustry and bilirintiePs within their reach, but taking this number of criminals out of the centre of crime, and spot only shutting out society from the coistagiant of their example sod influence, but in the cud con verting them to the 'practice of useful and proper employments, to become good usetuisens of society. If this Institution had not existed, what would have become of such characters ? They would have diffused far and wide crime and iniquity, and they would have divsemitiatati the contagion of their biers where slow they left the benefit of their moral re i ormai ls on and evaratple.—(Great upplumse.)— A temporary Establiblitnent had been reared on the Bth of June last, to relieve the parent Institution, and preserve some of its be n efit s ., which would other wise have Loren lost to society. In this retllioUrary Institution 11.5 had betas admitted during the last year. Thus the Society, in its double use, may be said within that pee mud to have latbened above Suu individuals. Thr greater pruportion oldster were unhappy juvenile delioqiients, rod in this view the fun& of the Institution were emitted to peculiar con. bideratiou from the melancholy fact, that they were unable to procure the adopt ion of that system of class sificatiou so essential iii the reformatory discipline of an institution of this kind. The evil of juvenile de. linquency had incrunord to an extraordinary de gree, au much littlest', that it was entitled to the serious consideration oh the Legislature. To ottani system of classification would be a great object. This Institution went as far as it could in pro moting the great object. Since they had lust met, its founder, Air. Whitaker, hail died, and it was his consolation, though in want perhaps of sonic comforts i* self. to look with heartfelt consolation to the good lie bad dune iii promoting this great object. Let other mess take example by the efforts of this good and humble mail.—(dpplaese.) Dr. LusilisoroN coticluded by proposing the herlilaof the Earl of liveipoul, mid may they hope lot the rapport of his I.urthliip in promoting the views of this Institution.—/(:reat ups/reuse.)

It was fintilated, above all, on the a-mildest and wisest principle of preferring the prevention of crime to it. punishment. If he had not been here oil former occasions, the loss was certainly hie, and be was most happy to hi. present for the first time, to see the great beneficial. effects of this Institution rapidly inereasitsg. sod IC, see it flourishing as it deserved. ti-tisible of its , importance. awl of the good that must be derived' from it, he could only assure the Meeting. that hit lionsble efforts should never he watititig to give effect to the benefits of this valuable Institution.... (('reat applause.) The health of Lord SIDMOUTII was then pro posed, and received with great applause. The Noble Lord said, that he felt grateful far the compliment which had been paid to him. and most happy at geeing the growing prosperity of this lir. stitution. It was improving in the general estima tioit of society. It was founded on the wisest prin ciples of benevolence—it was etleoinistered in the true spirit of its foundation—owl the success which attended its progress was cominete.urate with its real and intrinsic value,— (Great applause.)—lt was an establishment of the greatest public importance, and one which was entitled to the support of every good nail in the kingdom, who felt as a good mini ought iii the cause of humanity, and who re garded the best interests of his c ry. He re peated Its thanks for the honour that hail been done him.—(npplanse.) Mr. l'itoTitemoe., M.l'. rose to propose the health of the Lord Mayor and Curporatant of I. lon. When lie last appeased at the miniver sary of this Institution, he haul heeu rebuked, in lint a very courteous nisimer, by one of the public Papers, for proposing the health of the Noble Lord who spoke last. Ile bad been accused, iii doing so, of entertaining a wish to court ministerial favour. lialifFerent to these ungrounded insinuation', he would repeat now what be had situ then—that the Noble Lord teas entitled to the thanks of hill coun try, for his patronage to this ustittition.—(dp pfiruse./-41e did not enter this room to thick on petty views, one would he expose himself to the charge of a lamentable allot of re. hu g , by obtrud ing hits political sentiments, whitever tiny may lir, upon a Meeting consecrated to charity.--(4p plovee.)—He concluded by ploposing the health of the Lard Mayor and Corporation of London.

The future regulation of the Windsor retalrlisli meta will romc rattler the consider:neon iif the H•tuse of Commons on Monday neat, when TIERNEY promises that he will take the sense of the House upon the propbsed clause for et:intim; totter Duke of YORK no additional turn of 10,000!. a-year, to cover, as it said, the expenses of travel ling. Au opportunity will thus present itself to the kepretentatives of the People for provitig the sincerity of their promises in favour or general eco nomy. The pretence of increased travelling charges, under which this large sum of public money is granted to his Royal highness the Duke of YORK, is to be coosidered of the same stamp as that whereby it lady on her marriage obtains a certain allowance of pin-moncy, whim no person can sup. pose that her change of gontlttion in life would re. quire an increased expenditure raider lh•rt beset of her ortlitiary disloirsettiesits. lu like intoner, who could believe that the necessity of travelling the short di.tatice from London or Outlands to Windsor, of certain stated occasions, rr•uld cause an expenditure 111 the amount of 10,0001. a-year I fact, the grout now proposed he the Ministers is nothing more nor less than a compensation to the Duke of YORK for the personal tremble he might be obliged to undergo in undeitaking the custody of his afflicted Parrot's person, It is, therefore, Oil this fair view of the qtteatiali that the House of Commons and the country will have to determine, They will have to consider, whether the Illnstrious Personage alluded to, shall receive from an overbur dened and harossed couot•y an enormous sum of money us a sultry fur dioliarging the (fatties of filial piety; cried whether it shall be laid down as a priii ciple, ta►nctioned by the highest example in the country, that a price shall be set upon the la bours of it son watching the last hours of a father's life, mider circumstances where every idea of self iiitermt ought to be forgotten. This proposition on the part of the Monsters must be altogether without the concurienee of the Duke of Yonx, fur it is impossible to suppose that his Royal Highness emild so fur forget what is due to him self, his father, tuirlii r rir Sovereign, is to expect any other reward for his sjessicre than what must ',rise from the ratisfaction of having discharged a sacred duty. It must not, however, be supposed that the Le gislature, in placing the Duke of Vous in the high and respoosible siiii,rnin of guardian of the KING'S person, blitilrof his Royal flightiest with merely troublesome awl ungrateful. The office invest% the pieweesor with an increased im portance in the State, at.tl a very comoderable share of elevated patronage, olach to a generous timid must far outweigh pecu•.iary cupsid,r4rium We hove ever evinced a aallt.guess that the several members of the Royal Family should receive as anyte provision as is croist.tesit with their own dignity ■od the ti.aincial state of the country. If the preset.t allowauces to the Duke of l'oatt be thought insufficient to support his rank, ;et that consideration be fairly anti honestly brought before the Legislature, but let it nut be attempted by any under-baud means to deceive Pallifittrill, that Un der a false pretence it might vote a stun of money, which, under the real circumstances of the case, it would lime:ileac to grant.
