He said, he had . red to have been called nu to address the assembly at so early a period—but it was pleasing to observe, siotwitlisteniliil the attempt made to clamour down the Gentle man who had just been put in nomination, that an nonsense majority of the Meeting were favouriible to his views. —(No, no !) —His only crime was, that he was an independent couleur ) Gentleman, and a friend to those principles which they had assembled to support—hut lie was 4lrsticil l,v tin se who had not the spirit to go so tar ISt thalit as he slid. The Meeting ought to nu tters':vie] what they were about. They ought not to hr too squeamish. The inillt.and.water and beer syssem hail been tried lotig enough--acd it was NO tune to adopt a snore generous diet—a glass of ,vier, or even or brandy, might, perhaps, be ne cessary.;—(4 laugh )—lirfore they decided, they ought to ,weigh matters properly. When a man was about setting out en a journey, he always in spired what means he possessed for bringing him if, 111 S destipation—and what benefit he would derive when lie got there. He would advise the electors to pr..ceed in a similar way.— (Here varimis persons exclaimed. " Off of! yea are so elector.")—He would, with their permission, state why he cosi ceived Mr. Hunt to be the most proper person to come into Parliament at this , prriud.—(An uproar now took place, which lasted fur several mitintes.) Mr. HUNT (addressing Mr. G. Jones)—" Stand on the titbit till you get sileuce. Don't ask for it. If the Chairmaii don't command silence, let the Meeting break op. Stand there for dime months till you are heard." Mr. SToaen, with some difficulty, procured a cessation of hostilities. Mr. G. JONES continued—lf the electors were not sincere in what they had done at a Fortner Meeting, let them say sO at once, and let Mr. /loot be dismissed. What were the objections •• ogaiust Mr. Hunt ? If they were stout, he would refute them. But the fact was, it ass a mere senseless clamour.— [Here the confu sion arising from various sorts of expression of censure, and contending applause, became so overpowering. that Mr. Jones was oblised to suspend his address for several minutes. During this interval, a person from the crowd cried out, that Mr. Jones had no right to speak there, as he was nut an elector of Westinisister. Mr. Juries . replied, it was a shame for him to say so, when he himself knew that he was a householder in that City. The clamour having, by great exertions on the part of the Chairman, a little subsided, Mr. Josses proceeded.) He hoped the matting would nut he converted into a hear garden, and that the it adversaries would not attempt, like the Roman tribunes of old. to carry every thing by violence. But if they were for violence, let them try it, mill they would see whether they, or the tripods of Mr. Hunt had the loudest lungs. the strongest limbs, or the most determined courage.— Mr. Hunt had not flinched from going the utmost step ; he had come to the point, and manfully pledged him.elf as the advocate of annual elections, and universal suffrage.--(Applause.)—Nobody had a right to impute any improper motive to his, in thus coming forward. lie would reduce the matter to one or two simple points—Did they co _ iiicide iii the rientimeuts of the resolution of Mon day 1--.[Fie alluded, we believe, to a Resolution carried at a Meeting of Electors on Monday, for putting Mn.

There was our other point connected with the Resolution, he wished to advert to. lie held in his band a teal ltesolutioa, that their enemies might not say, Nit. limit and his friends were a set of un graniniatical, illiterate blockheads.—[We believe there had been a little mis-spelliiig, and grammatical inaccuracy in the Resole' .]—The wily objection that he lied ever heard agaisiet Mr. Hunt was, that he had had the audacity to meet and address the people twice snider the canopy of Heaven. This much, indeed, he saw to blame in that, that the spot of meethig was 100 near the Cold Bath-fields Prison, and that it held out to view the degeneracy of the people of England, in allowing a dungeon to exist where free men were dragged at a moment'v notice, oat fur tiny crime alleged spinet them, but on sulnciiiii of, nobody lower what. —Were Mr. doses 'cos again interropteil by a noise Mut No hogs e•mld overcome—rhea he was allowed to proceed}—Henewer knew Mr. Hunt before Monday last, except through the siewspepers--and le howisig bow tile daily journals delight its propagating Shin.. der, lie had ilisregerded what he read to thew, 1 . 11. re Mr. Jaws was. again assailed by cries of tyr, off—down, down.' and hisses-s-which his frisilds e*erteil themselveerto vanquivh by chipping aial st ttttt tiaig .• Bravo."

Mr. Hoot, however, exhorted him to persevere, adding. that ss nothing in heaven or earth should prevent him from iwyisig every thing he mesa to say;' acid some one in the crowd observed that Mr. Jo had spokes' half an hour. mud should give to others. The Chairman :Tested t Ir. Junes, whether it would not etter he should abridge what he had to Pay for t e present. Mr. Jour; however, supported by his friends, enders vowed to get a hearing, but in vein.—The sounds of all descriptions now became more constant and loud, and the room, notwithstanding the strenuous exertion. of Messrs. Hunt. Jones, Pitt, and the Chairman, to restore order, exhibited for nearly an hour, a scene ,of tumult and uproar seldom ex ceeded. " Ca:game meeire era's' emus eat mare Theorem." During en occasional pause, we could distinguish Mr. Hunt exclaiming Forel play! furl ptsy r. ap parentlA dittoing himself to Mr. Woofer.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL 30(1 r Yesterday one of the most interesting Meetings we have seen for a considerable period, took place iss the lawn of 1-liglibury 'Tavern, near Islington. It was the first commemoration of the British and Foreign School Society, on the birth-day of his Majesty. So early as twelve o'clock, crowds of Ladies and Gentlemen of the first consideration, formed themselves in hoes on the ground. Some fair Ladles were fortunate enough to get from the hest of the sun under the cover of marquee... while others were obliged to risk the chequered orna ment of a few freckles, exposed to the heat on the platform erected in the cetitre of the ground. At one o'clock his Royal Highness the Doke of Sussex appeared. attended by Ali.. Bennett, M.P. Mr. Aldermen Wood, M.P. and several tither dis tinguished characters. They were I Ile cheered as they paned along the ground. and the children educated on the plan of the British and Foreign School system, in number nearly 4,000, were drawn up in regular order to receive their distin guished Patrons. As soon as the applause had erased, the Royal Duke ascended the platform, and requested the at tention of the assembly. His Royal Highness. in opening the business of the (Inv, begged to call the attention of the imeneto.e assemblage of Ladies and Gentlemen present to the examination of the children of both sexes, who were edncating on the universal plan of the British and Foreign School Society. Nearly 4,000 boys and girls, all neatly clad, ad vanced in classes in the must orderly manner. It was a most gratifying spectacle to see so large a number of the children of the poor so full of health and intelligence. They went through all their se veral exercises in the Testament, and displayed their proficiency in writing and arithmetic. on the excel lent plan of this School System, with a rapidity and correctness which astonished all prevent. The chit• dren of the Jewish persuasion gave their answers in Hebrew. After this interesting and satisfactory examination concluded— Ilia Royal Highness time Doke of Susssx briefly I addressed the Meeting, nod said, that as these chil dren were tube regaled a ith a th run the ground, the company would, lie hoped, see the necessity of contributing their mite to the expense.—;Hear.) M►. BEN NETT then use to call the attention of the Meeting to a Resolution which had been just put into his hand—it was one in which be was con vinced all present would most cordially concur. The Resolution contained an expression of gratit ide to that illustrious Personage, who was better kliown as the Father of his People, mid the early and de cided Patron of this most valuable system of educa tion.— ((;reat applause.)—lt would be remembered, he said, that in the infancy of Mr. Lanciester'a tern it was beret with appalling difficulties ; they were of a nature, that, had it not beets for time vir tuous energy of character, and protection of our beloved Sovere►gn, no man could have foreseen the result. He (Mr. Bennett) would not say that with oat the Royal Patronage the Institution would have fallen—but without it at such a moment the great fouudatiou could never have berth laid, which now established in society such incalculable advan tages.—(Hear.)—lt was impossible to witneu with out emotion such a spectacle as they now witnessed. ...(Hear.)--It was not alone the advantages of read ing and writing which they had the satisfaction of inculcating, but the drilling of the infant mind. the early establishment of moral discipline and order, which firmly fixed that propriety of de meanour they this day witnessed among se large a number of children.—(4pplasse.)—They saw the system of education shedding its invaluable benefits over children of different nations and creeds. and who worshipped the Great Father of the Universe in different tongues.--(/leer.)—They were all taught to read that sublime Work, which was the fouutau► of all moral precept ; and arthey grew up in life they would implore blessings on the heads of those benevoleili persons who rescued them from the paths of 'gnat sore and vice, and enabled them to enjoy this i►estimable advaniage.—(Applemse)— The Meeting had this day au opportunity of tasting the fruit of their labour., From inculcating in the young 'ohm] the greatlemon of—t' Fear God. and humour tAs King."--4.lfeeir.)—Let them pursue this glorious task, by contributing to the extension of so good a system. and never forget the remark able expression of their Sovereign—" That he hoped to live to see the day when every poor child in Isis dominiolis should know how to read the Bible."—(G'reireepplause.)--The Hon. Gentle mast concluded by reading the first Resolution, which, es well as the following, were carried unani monsly.--(For Resolutions see advertisement.) Mr. Aldermen WOOD, M.P. in seconding the first Resolution, congratulated the Meeting on the gratifying spectacle they had this day witnessed. It was a source of the greatest pleasure for them to see how nearly accomplished was the benevolent oriels of their beloved Sovereign, whose sentiment had beets just so appropriately alluded to by his Hon. Friend.—(.4pplaase.)—lt was consolatory to know, that his Majesty lived to see his wish so nearly ac romplielied ; and how happy twofold it be if they could think lie could now participate in.their gra tification !—(l.rerd applause.)—The worthy Alder man then entered into a deeded account of the se veral schools of which these buys consisted, and who belonged to every class of religious persua sion. Ile particularly assured the Meeting, and appealed, in confirmation of the fact, to the dif ferent religious pastors present, that these children were classed according to their religiouir, fur a re. guitar and tent Nord attesidatice to their iespee live spiritual duties. Nothing was, therefore, more totally destitute of fnundetime than any notion that the necessary and essential attentimi to relig,on was carelessly pet formed in these establishments.— , ("Ipplumse.)—They had nu desire to draw from the bosom of the Established Chinch any of its child reis ; but they were earliest in enforcing the attend ance of childien et-homed her their care to their religious duties, whatever these happened to be.— In fact, the different clergymen regularly looked after that part of the bil.oiset.4. 'kits slay was, at the suggestion of their Royal President, uppropri. a:ed to the present commetiniratimi, and in honour of Majesty's birth-day the children were to be re galed with good old English fare—roast beef and plum-pudding--(App/once)—.and a handsome contribution to defray this expense was expected from the Meeiiiig. Several Gentlemen and Ladies were to be stationed at the gates, who would take charge of these contributions.--(applause.) rite Rev. J. TOW MIEN D, 111 moving the second Resolution, enlarged on the advantages of edu collie,, anti alluded to the per:Wier gratitude he owed to those who benevolently contributed it, from the circumstance of his having liven I • self reared iu the noble institution of Christ's Hos pual.—(elppialise.)—The Rev. Gentlemen, in just and appropriute terms, complimented the Royal Duke (Sussex) on the noble example hr tosiforinly act as a patron of this systein.—(.+pplause.) The Rev. Mr. HARRIDAN (a Russian Catholic Clergyman) bore his testimony to the disinterested benevolence which marked the superintendence of one of these schools with which he was dietely acquainted, and declared the cordial co operation which Rumen Catholics were willing to give, and the alacrity with which they were ready to reed their children to such a school as flout he knew. where they could depend on the undisturb ed enjoyment of their particular faith.—( Apple:wit.) It was only where attempts were made to temper with this that they were under the necessity of with holding the co-operation which otherwsee they were willing to give.—(App/asst.) Mr. JOSEPH COHEN (a Jewish merchant) also stated the disinterested manner in which the chil dren of the Jews were treated at the school alluded to, end assured the Meeting, that the members of his persuasion would be always ready with their mite to support this and every other system of eds.- cation which was founded on so benevolent a pl.in, —(Appturise.) His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX. in re tdiaing thanks, congratulated the Meeting on the glorious spectacle they had now before them on this most interesting °cc:isnot'. The first speech tint into the mouth of the King by the celebrated Earl of Chatham, stated that his Majesty gloried in being an Englishman bore."—(Appeiese.)—Why had lie so gloried ? because be was the King of a free nation—free, because it could boast of that un fettered education which enabled the people to exercise the liberty mid faculty of their reasoning powers. Wlsile that remaiceci, the people were free, and whoever uttempted to put it down or cir cumscribe it, was au enemy to the liberty of his comitry.—(Great appluuse.)—Tile great lesson to insulate among youth, as his Roo. Friend had said, was, " Fear God, and honour the King," and to leave every man to settle his own form of religion ac cording to Isis own conscience, and rerpuitanile for it only to his Creator.— ((.reat applaese.)—lf the good King. whose patronage to this system had so justly been praised, could this clay see the spec tacle with which Providence indulged them, lie would feel it to be the most glorious iii his lung s o d happy reign. —(Great applause.)—Allusiuns had here made to the expense Intending the children's dinner. This was the day slid place for festivity, particularly as they were so near the scene of John Gilpiti's frulicr.—(Lord laughter.)—llia Royal Highness constituted by thanking the assem bly for the honour they had done him.—(Applause.) The boys and girls now sat clown to u substantial English dinner, mad it was 'Arming to see the ap petites and humour thus displayed on the occirsioe. At five o'clock his Royal Higher , . the Duke of Sussex and the friends of the Institution sot down to an excellent dinner, provided few them in the Tavern. His Royal Highness was supported on the right by Sir John Jackson, Bart. and on the left by Mr. Alderman %Vood, M.P. After the cloth was removed, his Royal Highness in proposing the health of the King, pointed out to the Meeting that this was the Slat year of his Ma jesty's age. His Royal Highness then took a rapid view of the King's patronage to this Society, and pointed out the great advantages which resulted from this mature step on the part of the Sovereign. He also expressed the plemenre he felt at being stir. rounded by persons of every religious persuasion, in a contest it was true, but one where the object was tbe diffusion of universal benevolence in a manner most grateful to the objects of their patronage.-- (Applause,) In proposing the healthy of the other branches of the Royal Family, his Royal Higbee** pronounced a just tribute on the moral and religious character ,raiastrr, alien eireanistames prevented bia from duin: his duty to his Cuustitueata." Mr HAY DON seconded the motion, which was carried is 1111114111011111 v. Mr. HARLEY rose amidst an uproar which pre- wilted OUT very disti►►ctly hearing what he said.

He said, he had not expech-il to hare been called on to address the J I • 111 spite or all efforts to rirress it for ' the fruit itt their !about', frutu N • • Of tht Queen, and adverted toils, continuance of his Majesty's subscription of 100/. per annual by the Prince Regent to this Society. The eventing was spent with the utmost hirmony —and a considerable subscription was entered into to promote the objects of this valuable system. As his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was driving in a landau and four horses, accompanied by Mr. Bennett, to attend this Meeting, ot as he had passed through Islington, at one o'c lock, and while the landau was turning into a narrow pant of the road, a child was nt the moment dartini!, across, and fell between the wheels of the coach. The drivers, with admirable dexterity, pulled up at the instant, and the child was thrown by a graze of one of the fore-wheels under the body of the landing; but the stopping was so sudden, that the hind-wheels rested almost at the moment, and the child lay just under the body of the carriage. The alarm being given by the postillions, a pour woman accidetitally passing at the instant, rail a n d took the child up in her arms. It seemed about four or live years of age, and was naturally greatly alarmed, with. its left arm bleeding. His Royal Highness and Mr. Bennett instantly jumped out of the land.itd begged to be conducted with the child t nearest medical assistance. A gen- Ileum) passing at the time felt the arm of the child, and assiirerrhis Royal Highness, that there was no fracture. The Duke and Mr. Bennett accompa nied the %/Ninon who curried the child to the next surgeon's rlllidence, but he was from home, and in answer to an eager inquiry of whether he could not be sent for, it was said neither tlw surgeon nor his partner were shortly expected. 'Flue illustrious Duke and Mr. Bennett then went to the next apo thecary's shop, and after an examination of the I child by the gentlemmi, had the satisfaction of knowing that the injury was a mere contu sion in the fleshy part of the left arm, unac companied by any fracture. This forma' gave evident satisfaction to the distinguished parties. The woman, who happened to be acci dentally passing, and who carried the child in her arms after the accident, received a Bank note fur her trouble ; the mother of the child was immedi ately sent for, and the Royal Duke did not quit the place until she came, and the necessary direc tions were given for the ultimate care of the child. The anxiety of his Royal Highness and Mr. Ben nett was extreme. The wound was so slight that the apothecary bound up the child's uriu merely with the common adhesive plaister. As his Royal Highness returned to the place where lie had left his equipage, the feelings of the spectators, suddenly attracted by the rumour of the accultut, evinced that acknowledgment of his Royal Highness's propriety and humanity to which Isis conduct on the oci'asion so particularly entitled him. Not the slightest blame could attach to the drivers, and the child's escape was perfectly mi raculous. We fear these constant escapes have no efr-ct in remedying the negligence of the lower classes in the cure of their children in the vicinity of the public roads. lADIA LETTERS. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM MADRAS, DATED 24T11 JANUARY, MS. Our Governor-General is engaged in a most ex tensive 11Iahratta war, and I hope and think he will make it of short duratioa ; fur lie has a most formidable force in the field. and several signal defeats of the enemy have already taken place.— They can make to, kind of staud against us. The Primhive and the Bhotaisla (Rojah of Beriar) violated their treaties in the most treacherous manner, esithavouring to take us by surprise, but they have suffered most severely, and will in all prolvilidity be liitated s political powers.— liolker may be considered as completely overcome. Seimlull has kept to his treaty, being quite overawed by the havoc which lie saw making all around him, among those who had pursued a differ ent line of conduct. The main object of the war is the destruction of those merciless freelamters the Pirolavers. This step had become alniulutely ne cessary for the protection of our own territories aphis , their cruel slid wide-wasting devastations. They had grown truly formidable tooll around them, but the Marquis will soon dislodge them from all the fistriesses which used to afford them shelter. The extirpation of such nimistris will be sr work of infinite relief to suffeting Immunity. Sir John Malcolm liss been most active and successful against them ; and, indeed, on all occasions of difficulty and danger, he has born foremost.

The following are the parti culars of this sanguinary atfair:—Ou the Ist of this month, at ten in the morning, Captain Staunton, with this gallant corps, together with a few Madras artillery and about seventy auxiliary horse, reached Corygaum, where he was immediately attacked by the whole of the Peishwa's army, consisting of about 15,000 horse and 3,000 Arabs. He fought them till night, and then drove them off. At first, the Arabs charged up to the muzzles of our six-pounders; but after leaving 500 dead in the village, they went away disgusted. Three of our Officers., Swanston, Con- Helton, and Surgeon Wingate, were lying wounded in the Pagoda, when the Arabs charged into it, and would have murdered them all; but Captain Staunton, in person, with a few men, charged in alter them, and succ eeded ID 111111111 g SWIIIIOIOII slid COIIIIOIOII.

We hare received Paris Papers of Monday lust. Although they contain no additional information respecting the progress of the loan, they are so far important as they confirm the intelligence coin municated by those of the preceding day. It is therefore certain, that the subscriptions to thl loan for the service of the year, by French cap . .; talists, has been so great, that the Government II : France has declined receiving any of the proposals sent into the Minister of Finance by foreigners. In this determination we cannot but fee( a very lively interest ; not, as some may imagine, hecanse British capital has possibly been disappointed a market, but because it *hews the utter fu:dity of the arguments advanced some days since by Ministers, in support of the contiourioce of their paper system, and proves incontestably that the circumstances preventing the immediate re sumption of cash payments by the Bank of E:l4- land do not arise out of the financial embarrassments of the French or any other foreign Government. The immediate prorogation of Parliament is there fore much to be lamented—for if the two Ilim , es were to sit a fortnight longer, it is impossible to believe, that, with this fact before their eyes, they would omit passing an Act to obviate, in sonic de gree, the error into which they have so inconsider ately fallen. With regard to the policy of this refusal on the part of the French Government, opinions nosy differ considerably. It cannot be de nied that it would be very touch the interest of France, that among similar proposals for contri buting the loan, the Government should prefer those of foreigners. Such a preference would, on ordi nary occioionr, he attended with two advantages— one, that the capital of the country would be there by increased—the other, that it would prevent the existing capital of the country from being divertel unprofitably from being employed in promoting use ful industry. Thiz question, however, must be consi dered in reference to the peculiar circumstances or the Goverotnent of France, and not to those getierA principles which, in ordinary cases, should inflnei the atEnrs of States. The security of a Govem went must undoubtedly be considerably increased by being associated with the interests of the larg,st possible numbers of its subjects, and by pruvhg that it enjoys the fullest confidence of those b‘lop, from their condition in life, are best able to esti mate its stability. This object is übtaioed by the French Government in the present ia,tance, aril the importance of such an attainment is too great to admit a question on the propriety of par: iing even though attended with the sacrifice of ot!,cl consideiable advantages. It would seem, by an article of inteiiigetice con tained in the Gazette de trance, that the rt 1 . 0441 or Parliament to grant the proposed sum to the Dui: • of CLARENCZ, has not hsd the effect of preventn.: his Royal Highness from completing intention of uniting himself in tmsrrizi n ge t, the Princess ADEL...IDS of 31einingen. It is as,ertti.l
