PITT Cl.l;ll.—The triennial dinner of the Pitt Club was held yesterday, in the Merchant Tailors' Hall, Thread reedle-street ; Lord Kenyon in the Chair, supported on the right by Lords Eldon and Bathurst ; and on the left by Lord Westmoreland and other distinguished individuals. The numbers present might amount to between 2.50 and Sna. A band of music was stationed in the orchestra over the entrance door, and opposite to it a considerable num ber of ladies made their appearance after the cloth bad been eenorril. The dinner was excellent, the wines particu larly good, and the whole arangement admirable. Seve rsl professional gentlemen were present, who followed up the 'rations toasts which were given in the course of the evening with appropriate songs. THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT.—A report is very prevalent in the Green-room of Drury-lane Theatre, that Mr. Price, the American Manager, will take the lead in the direction of that theatre next season. It is said that the fill which a certain veteran experienced a few nights since, in the cha racter of Fi/staff, was only the forerunner of a 101 l from a wester height. It is likewise rumoured that Charles Kern- Me retires from his present situation at Covent-garden at the end of the present season, and that Mr. Ilemy Harris will again take the command of the corps drarnatigne of that theatre. Kean has received an offer of engagement from both of the above emmlilisliments, but it isnot yet known to Which of them lie will accede. Weber, the eminent coin poser, has so much increased his constitutional complaints by visiting our climate, that he is recommended to return to his native country as speedily as possible. lie is at tended daily by an eminent German physician, at his apart ments at Sir George Smart's, from whom he receives every attention in his present feeble situation. lle will leave England the moment he is sufficiently convalescent. FRACAS AT Epsom.—Mr. Ilayne (familiarly called Pea Great Heine) was rather unceremoniously attacked on Epsom Race-course on Wednesday last, by one of those fellows termed " Members of the Prize Ring ;" and what renders the circumstance singular, as regards Mr. Hayne, is, that the person by whom he was so roughly handled, was the individual whom he had long been in the habit of patronizing, and who he bad raised from the lowest state of lathery, to a respectable station in the prize-ring.—So tench for keeping good company. Extract from the Greenock ',dentists. of Friday:—" Asl a proof of the excellency of the late lambing season, we hare to state, that a flock of 100 ewes, the property of • . John Smith, of Barns Hall, near Ecelestiehl, has pro aced no less than '205 lambs, an instance of fecundity, we believe, seldom to be paralleled. Mr. Blackburn, an account of whose unfortunate case was given in our paper of Saturday. expired oil Thursday ing, at Pudsey, near Leeds. On Friday an inquest !Is held upon the body, by Christopher Jewison. Esq. %finer for the liberty of Pontefract, at the Golden Lion, ' tekey. The Jury in about half an hour returned a ver let of manslaughter. Mr. Cathk will, of course, be come tted to York Castle for trial. SOCIETY OF ARTS, COMMERCE, AND MANUFACTURES. Yesterday this Society held their annual Meeting for the diatrls button of their honorary and pecuniary rewards, at the King's Theatre, A temporaty platform was laid over the orchestra, and the stage was filled up with scats rising one above another, which were occupied at an early lour by the candidates and members of the Society. The house was lighted up as on an opera night, and was crowded to excess in every part liy a veil elegant and fashion able company. Amongst many distinguished persons present were, the Bishop of Norwich, the Persian Ambassador, Dr. Birk beck, Mr. flume, M. P., &e. &c. Madame Pasta appeared in one of the stage boxes. About one o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Pre sident of the Society, arrived, and took the chair amid the general applause of the Meeting; the hand cat the same time playing the national air of " God save the King." His itoxat. 111011 N ells expressed the great gratification he felt at seeing the present Meeting so numerously and respectably at tended. As there would be a great dcul of business to go through. he should not detain them by any observations on the highly meri torious objects which the Society amtemplated to achieve; but would request their Secretary to read the Report, which lie hoped would prove interesting to all those who had honoured the Society with 'heir presence on this occasion. The Secretary (AnTat AIIIIS, Esq.) then read the Report of the Society, which ax, drawn up in an eloquent and able manner. ft took a general review of the various branches of art and manu facture% which it was the object of the Society to patranize and en. courage, tracing then) from their first rude beginnings up to their present highly scientific and practically efficient state. It stated that— " The first proof that the efl'orts of this Society, in concurrence with those of a few enlightened individuals, had begun to be sue t:toilful. was the establishment, by the gentlemen of Bath and the West of England, of a Sunny especially directed to objects of rural economy. Stimulated by this example, other similar Institutions arose in different parts of the country ; patriotic individuals of high rank, and of extensive possessions, became each the centre of annual Agricultural Meetings; and thus, with unexampled rapidity,ad. vanced the art of agriculture and stock-breeding to iat present state. But although this Society resigns, without reluctance, the care of agriculture and rural economy in general, to those move recent institutions, which, from their local advantages, are the beat ratified foe this duty : yet there are certain branches, which being usually executed rather by the landlord than by the tenant, are o 1 this account excluded from the cognizance of the provincial societies, cod, therefore, with peculiar propriety, may still be retained by the Society of Arts. I particularly allude to the plantation and rearing of timber, the reclaiming of wastes, the recovery of drowned land, by means of embankments and draining, and experiments with a view to the introduction of new articles of cultivation." In rererence to the introduction of mechanical power, the Report observed— " This substitution of other . power to that of man, where mere force, uncomtined with skill, is required, has had a prodigious effect on human society. The labour of no animal is, upon the whole, so expensive as that of man. The hone and the ox are fit for labour when three years old ; man requires the growth of at least fourteen or fifteen years before his bodily strength is of any considerable value, and cannot he said to be fit for severe work under twenty years; he requires clothing and protection from the Inclemency of the weather, and his food, however coarse and scanty, is more costly than that of any of our or dinary domestic animals, in proportion to the strength which he is capable of exerting. Hence it has always happened, in those times and countries in which there has been a necessity for the em ployment of men in works of mere drudgery, that unmitigated do. Invoke slavery has universally prevailed : piracy by sea, war and kidnapping by land, were the usual modes by which labourers were procured. The daily bread of the ancient world was min gled with the tears of the wretches concerned in turning the mill, and lives innumerable were every year cushied out, in drain ing mines, excavating quarries, and performing intolerable labour of every kind. Archimedes, of Syracuse, and the great mechanicians, who flourished at Rome, although the practical application of the mechanic powers was perfectly familiar to them, appear almost universally to have employed human la bour as the first moving power. Their discoveries, therefore, had no direct tendency to benefit the moral and social condition of man kind. The employment of domestia animals to actuate neat hinery, the conversion of wind into a moving power by means of the revolving pails oldie windmill,and the use of water for the sainepurpose,through the medium of the water-wheel, have occasioned a great improve ment in human society. The reduction of corn into flour ceased henceforth to be the daily toil and drudgery of the domestic slave; the most severe part of the rude mining operations of the time—namely, the extraciion of water from the bottom of the mine, by hand buckets, was put an end to, and by degrees mast of the very oppressive forms of labour were transferred to mere engines. The necessity of slavery, therefore, being re. moved, the influence cf religion, of humanity, and of policy c incurred. and thus, for the first time since the institution of pofitteal eccietv, the plague spot of domestic slavery, that infer. thus mischief a high alike contaminates and degrades the moral of the master anti of his drudge, was effaced trom the greater part of Christian Europe. (Applause.) Within the last fifty years, another power, namely, the elasticity of steam, has been ap plied ns a first mover to mechanical combinations. Ily means of this, great rapidity and energy of seams hare been obtained, and a greater isdependenee as to local situation. The combined effects of these two advantug.s have been immense. A constant nninter mitting power, of almost any magnitude, may now be brought to act during any required time upon any given spot. Hence has resulted not only a gre a t additional saving of labour, but many wattle of high importance, both to individuals and to the community, have been effected, which were before wholly im practicable. It appears, therefore, that the principal eras in the history of mechanical invention ore. first, the production of the simplest kind of instruments essential to the existence of mankind, hut not in any respect substitutes for human labour; next, a very extensive application of the more simple mechanical contrivances, and a consequent greatly increased demand for human labour as a first mover: hence arises the great distinction in society between the labourers and those who enjoy the fruits of labour, or, in other words, of master and slave. In the third era, the application of me chaniehal instruments continues to extend. but by the conversion of certain natural rowers to first movers, the demand for human labour in works of mere drudgery, is greatly restricted. and the necessity of slavery wholly ceases. In the fourth era, a more manageable and energetic first mover is invented. capable of acting with more pre. cision than any line force, and therefore eminently conducive to the benefit of mankind, by withdrawing them stilt farther from the ne cessity of mere servile labour." At the conclusion of the Report, the Secretary proceeded to read the names of the I candidates to whom medals, &c. had been awarded, at the same time pointing out in a few wordy the peculiar properties which constituted the originality of each invention or improvement, in the particular articles that had been submitted to the examination and had obtained the approbation of the Society. It must be obvious that, from the numerous list of successive can didates whose names we subjoin, it is iniposnible for us to detail more particularly the merits of each ; we cannot, however, avoid noticing the excellent apparatus which has been invented by R. Cowen, Esq. of Carlisle, to carry off the dust produced in dry grinding, and to whom he Society have awarded the large gold medal. The business of dry grinding, as performed in the manu facture of needles. card-wires, and many article's of cutlery, is per haps the most unhealthy that is carried on. The particles of dust and steel fill the . grinding rooms with a dense cloud, which being inhaled occasions irritation of the lungs, end terminates in asthma or consumption. For an effectual mode of preventing this dust from annoying the workmen, the Society offered their large gold medal. This has been claimed by Mr. Cowen for the machine which he has invented, and which on inspection, and from the tes timonials of practical men, leaves nothing to be desired in this respect. The Gold Vulcan Medal was awarded to Mr. W. Spencer, Chatham, for a very great improvement in letting go an anchor, which has been sanctioned by its general adoption in the navy. It enables a most important and often very critical mano'uvre to be performed with great speed and precision, and without the hazard in the lives of persons who, by the common mode, are exposed to much danger. It) performing veterinary operations, it sometimes requires that the home should be thrown on his back, which is attended with much risk, both to the animal himself and to the persons employed. Joseph Goodwin, Esq. Clerk of the Stables, Carlton Palace, has invented a table, to which a horse may be secured, without loiter, to him, or the risk of injury to the operator, which is very manage able considering its hulk, and, with some simplification of the appa rat" will prohsbly be agrees advantage. It will be seen that a Gold Vulcan Medal line been awarded to this gentleman. The Royal Criarairaw took great interest in the inspection of this invention. _ _ To Muter D. Purism the large Silver Medal was presented, fora composition of figures in oil. On presenting this reward to the youth (who is about twelve years of age), his Royal Highness raid it gave him great pleasure to have again, for the third time, to protein him with a token of the approbation of the Society, for his ability in that line of art to which he had devoted himself. This was no less than the fourth medal he hail received from his Royal flightless, and (said the Royal Chairman, addressing himself to the Bishop of Norwich) when I remind your Lordship that this is the charity boy whom I mentioned to you., I think I may prognos. ticate, that it he perseveres in his application as he has hitherto done, he will one day become a great man. (Much applause.) The Royal UHAIIIMA N., in presenting the several other rewards, complimented with great felicity and variety of expression the Can diiatea, u they successively approached the Chair, to receive the token of the Society's approbation, and the acknowledgment of their respective merits. The ladies who received rewards were warmly greeted by the Meeting; particularly Miss Charlotte Chap. man, who received the large Silver Medal for an original wino°. aition of flowers in water-colours, which possessed my great merits.

A. party of his friends, to the number of :10 and upwards, on horses back, met his carriage an the London road, at three miles distorter, and escorted it to Buckland Bridge, where a large band of muac, with flags, streamers, devices. &c. and an immense number of freemen, were waiting to receive him. A very long procenion formed, and the horses being taken from his carriage, he was drown into and through the town, amidst the most deafening hums. The whole line of road, for the distance of two miles, was one dense multitude. The windows, house tops, and, in fart, every rising situation, where it was possible to obtain a view, vies tilled wait well-dressed females, waving handkerchiefs, and showing favour' of red and blue (Mr. Holcomb's colour), whilst the males che-reti as the procession passed. Upon arriving at his Committee Room, Mr. Holcomb addressed the freemen very shortly, thanking them for the reception he had received, and which circumstance would be remembered, and ever treasured in his heart. Mr. Butterworth. one of our present Members. has been canvass. ins the town for some days past, and Mr. Wilbraham, our other :limber, is expected To-morrow.

NEWCASTI.E.—Though a certain party are anxious to have a contest at Newcastle, we do not believe, from what we have heard, that there will be any serious opposition to the two present 31em. bent. Lord Normanby is in Italy; and Sir E. 11----tt, and other• who have been named an coming forward upon the new interest. we are thoroughly persuaded, have no such intentions. It is, how-. ever, currently reported that a third person will be put in nomina tion at the approsching election ; and thus a henry expense may be brought upon Sir M. W.

Gentleman's pretensions to a seat in St. Stephen's. . . . . Aftei supper, the cloth having been removed, and the routine toasts drank with the unual honours— Mr. Al I L LAR rose, at the lower end of the room, and addressed the assembly. Ile declared that he was not employed by any party, that he was scarcely known to Mr. Wynn, but that he had the honour of commanding a rifle corps in Essex, though nothing beyond an inferior tradesman ; and that during that command, he had never solicited ought from the Government, but had expended thousands of his property in the service of his country. (Hear.) The same public feelings which then actuated him, now induced him to come forward. He had a thorough knowledge of Mr. Wynn's character, which induced him to rise in his belalf. That Gentleman was well known and deservedly esteemed in the county of Essex ; he was an active Magistrate of that county, and in per forming the duties of that station had acquired the esteem of all classes. The country was now sufficiently enlightened to judge of the character of an individual, and when a man was found, who, like Mr. Wynn, had acquired universal esteem, his countrymen should feel that they could not do too much for hint. (Applause and cries of " bravo.") When the country found a man who was the champion of justice, they should be proud of him, and give him their energetic support. The Hon. Gentleman bad done Justice as n magistrate of the county of Ease:, and had thereby proved that he would do justice to his constituents in the House of Common'. To come to the point, he should bristly explain the reasons why he felt anxious to support Mr. Wynn at the next election. When Mr. IVynn solicited his vote. he put one question to him—that question was, '• will you, or will you not, support the Roman J.:litho/lc chums k" and Mr. Watues manly_ answer was, 1 -1.. ate determined to oppose the Catholic claims." (Loud and continued applause.) Mr. Wynn, therefore, was not only respected by some of the first families in Essex, but he had pledged himself to oppose the Catholic question, and in doing so he had pledged himself to support the best King that ever sat on the throne (Re peated cheers)—he had pledged himself to support the best Com mander-in-Chief ever known in England (Hear, hear). and the best Constitution ever known in the world. (Bravo.) It was a Constitution which all the nations of Europe would be happy to copy, and every foreigner happy to enjoy its comforts. At this time every man was called upon to do nit. duty to his sing and country. Endeavours were made to impress it on the public mind that the King was favourable to the Catholic Question. (Cries of "So he is,"mingled with applause and hisses.) It was no such thing: lie could assert with certainty that the Kin g . watt against the claims of the Catholics, and that he was greatly injured by the reports which prevailed on this subject. At the time when the Duke of York made that bold declaration in the House of Lords, which re flected so much bonour on his Royal Iligl.neatt, he was present ing a petition from Windsor. Now, where did the King live ? At Windsor. (A laugh.) And where did the Duke of York go after his hold declaration in the House of Lords ? He repaired to Covent Garden Theatre (Laughter and cries of hear), and remained with his Royai Broti r during the remainder of the evening. Here the confusion was so great, that the Chainhan found it ne cessary to interfere, and request that order should be preserved. Mr. MILLAR resumed—He had much more in store for the company, hut he felt he must cut it short. He would only add, that Mr. Wynn meant to support the King, the Constitution, and the Government; and he should, therefore, conclude, by calling upon the company to drink the Don. Gentleman's health with four times four. This toast was received with acclamation ; and when it had sub sided, Mr. WA's; at rose and addressed the Meeting. He said he had not a set and arranged speech prepared, because he felt, that it' a nom who offered himself as a candidate had not the feelings of an Englishman, lie had no right to address the freemen of the borough of Mahlon. No man's heart thrilled with more pleasure than his did, when he heard the name of the King of this limited monarchy alluded to; and he supported that King's Government, because he thought he was justified. by experience, in asserting that the mea sures of his Majesty's Ministers were such as became the Govern ment of a free people. But his general support of Ministers should never be fettered by any man or set of men. On every occasion he would act in accordance with his own discretion and judgment. If the kindness of the electors of Maldon returned hito to Parliament, he would watch over the expenditure of the country as well as those who called themselves Whigs; but he would not go i n to Parliament believing the Ministers to he in the wrong, but pre-sup posing that their future conduct would be governed by the past. (Bear, hear.) With respect to taxation, his principle was public economy, but not sordid economy. He could not advocate that economy, which would drive a laborious servant with gr.ty hairs into penury. (Applause.) In truth, there were others who wanted watching besides those who sat on the Treasury benches. They were not angels who sat on the other side of the House. The Hun. Gentleman next culled the attention of the Meeting to the badge which he wore on his hat, and which was exhibited on the breasts of his friends (a light blue riband). If that emblem was the symbol of intolerance, his feelings as a man would give way to his early prejudices; but until he believed it to be such, he should never forsake it. (Loud cheers.) As to the doctrine of free trade, it was a beautiful theory ; but its application should he made with great caution. It should be applied with great caution to die silk trade., [A person here called out " The Corn Laws, Sir.") He thanked the person who had prompted his attention to the important subject of the Corn haws. He knew he must differ with many of his Constituents, anti if they waited to find a Candidate agreeing with them on all points, they should wait until the Constitution suffered from the delay. But he felt it was better to explain his opinions now, than wait and let the Electors find them out, when the discovery was of no avail. (Cries of •• bravo.") Upon the sub ject of the Corn Laws, he felt that the principles of tree trade should be applied with great caution. It was a subject replete with diffi- collies. He never was an advocate for raising the p rice of Provisions, but when he recollected the pressure of the poor rates upon the landed interest, he thought some protection should be given to the corn-grower. In short, his opinion was that the principles of free trade could not be appred in their full extent to the Corn Laws; but he did not say we ought not to approach loose principles as near as possible. (Bravo.) It was want of enipioy. meet, and not the cheapness or dearness of bread, that affected the working population. (Applause.) The next subject to slltich he should advert wits that of Reform, to which he had a decided ob jection, when applied generally, because he found it would be at tended by the total destruction of the Constitution. (Hear, hear.) But he was not pledged to support abuses, which he admitted called for occasional corrections. On the subject of colonial slavery he felt as other men ; he was anxious to substitute a system of free labour for that of slavery, by gradual and judicious means. He was, on all occasions, the advocate of reasonable economy. By his in strumentality a third Assizes had been instituted in the county of Essex : that measure he conceived to be one of great local import ance ; but, he was proud to sly , that he derived the hint for that measure from apolitical opponent (Mr. Weston). (Chet rs.) There remained hut one topic of importance--that called the Ca tholic (asthma. To this question he had paid great attention, and, after • dispassionate inquiry, he was ready to acknowledge that
