Mr. LAMISTON said. notwithstanding all the odium which hail been thrown upon all the wit nesses °Wired to be produced at the bar, the grit . ileitis's of whom he had spoken was • mercantile man of high character ; and he would pledge him self fur the veracity of any statement which he might make, should the House afford him an op . port unity of giving evidence at the bar of the House.

The Noble Duke has acted ou the occasion with the spirit which might he ex pected from a descendant of the immortal Russell.

THE BRIT' $ H. PRESS. LONDON, THURSIMY. MARcII 12, 1818. Last night a debote of great length and interest took place in the (louse of Commons. on the Indembity lilll, which was ecniiinitted on a divis . by • majority of 238 65. The Committee was, however, in consequence of the hurtles , * of the hour. adjourned to this evening, when it will sit again. We have received Paris Piqwrs from the 4th to the Stli instant inclusive. They contain accounts from Christiana to the 12th. and Stockholm to the 19th last. from which it appears that the new KING has been proclaimed in every part of Norway and Sweden. and that all the Militat y and Civil Autho rities have taken the oath ofallegivisce to his Majesty. On the night of the 311 inktaat a second alarm of an attempt against the Duke of WELLiNG•rox's life Wa3 circulated. in consequence of the report of a musket having been heard in the rear of his Grace's hotel. The sentinel on duty there de clared that he had fired the musket in his own defence, having been attacked by several persons who endeavoured to force their way into the Duke's hotel. The Duke is said to have sent the soldier 100 francs; hut on further examination the fellow confessed that his whole tale was false. It is not un likely that the former alarm was altogether as un founded. A I.no has been proposed by the Government to the Chamber of Deputies relative to Arrests for Debt. By one of the articles of the new Isw, men of 70 years of age are hot to be exposed to !Jerboa's' arrest. Every debtor imprisoned for civil or commercial debt, shall obtain his release after three yeti's im prisonment, by puying,or askigning the third of the principal of the debt and its accessoriea; and giving besides set ority, accepted by the creditor, or re ceived by the Tribunal. Foreigners not domiciliated in _Prance, but de tained at the suit of • Freisclitusi4 are to enjoy the beuelit of the foregoing article. The creditor is to proceed to conch-intuition nr judgment a fortnight after the impriou 1111 l ent of his debtor ; if he does not, the debtor may demand his release. The Five per Cebts. were as follows: March 14 341 .......... 67 f. 20 e. 40, 51h, and 611,.... 67 f. 45 c.

For the purpose of increasing this• Fund, which, hitherto, has received no public assistance. except from a triennial benefit, the Master, Trustees, and Committee, determined to pursue the plan adopted by the Managers of the Covent-garden Fund, ■nd to institute a public dinner, to be COIs. tinned annually. The first dinner took place yesterday, at the City of London Tavern; His Royal Highness the DUKE of YORK in the Chair, Supported by the Karl of &sex sod Lord Doti-ann. Shia Royal Highness was ushered into the room, about seven o'clock, by the Stewards—the hand stationed in the gallery striking up God save the King! He was accompinied by the Earl of Yar mouth, Lord Holland, Lord Montfort, Sir John . Silvester, Hart. Pascoe Grellfell, Esq. J. H. Massey Dawson, Esq. John Dent, Esq. the Hon. Douglas Kinintird, Richard Wilson, Esq. &c. &c. During d er, the Duke of York's baud per formed many fine pieces of music—amongst which we particularly distinguished several selections from Moe +Ws opera of Giovn*ei. After d . r, Non Nobis Dwaine was executed by a large body of vocalists, amongst whom we re cognised Messrs. Broadhurst, Pyne, G. Smith, J. Smith, and Spray. The musical department was ably conducted lay Mr. T. Cooks, assisted by Mr. Taylor. of Covent-I/squirm The usual toasts of The King—the Prince lie gent—the Queen. and the rest of the Hord Family —the dray—coca the nary—were drunk with en thusiasm. The Earl of EMEX proposed " The health of his &oiled Highness the Duke of York," which was • received will, bond cheering. The Doke of Yoae, in returning thanks for the honour lint had been done to him, on this occa sion, expressed the great pleasure he felt at seeing ►o numerous and respectable a company assembled; and, he was sure, they could not have assembled iu a better cause. Amongst the various Charities with which this metropolis abounded, none came more home to their feelings than the present. — Every Euglishinsui must feel a pride in nurturing and encouraging the genius of his own country— and they could not effect that object better than by affording a comfortable retreat to those who had ' passed their best years in the service of the public. —(Cheering.)—He should not detain the Com ; pony longer, assembled as trig were for a convivial, as well as is charitable purpose, but would propose— " Seeress to the Tlicttrieel Feud of Drury-lane, and their worthy Minter, Alr. Kees." ' l s hii 101114 was received with long-continued sp. plause. When the cheering had subsided— Mr. KEAN rose,- and spoke to the following effect :—'4 The generous which your Royal Highness has been pleased to express, with reference to the Drury-lane Fund—assisted as it has been by the plaudits of this kind company—induces one to undertake a task, to the just performance of which, notwithstanding all your kindness, I am inadequate. In the name of my brother actors, sub. scribers to this Fund, which, by your presence, your Royal Highness will this day greatly assist—in the absence of those whose prayers fur your welfare arise from the retreat or poverty and from the bed of sickness—in the same of those unfortunate persons, who may, hereafter, be indebted for relief to the Drury-lane Fund—allow me to attempt to express the thauks which the►r beasts must necessarily feel, but to expressiwhich, with the force and feeling the occasion calls fur, demands lumen intiiiitely greater than those which 1 possess. " As Master and Treasurer of the Drury-lane Fund, it is necessary that I should make some oh serrations as to the nature of that banditti ))))) and the particular causes which occasioned this meet ing. 'Hits duty 1 will endeavour to discharge. But, amongst the many circumstances which prove how little fitted I am for the task assigned t tar, there is one that I must particularly allude to—l mean the 'presence of a Gemlemon, whose know ledge of the Drury-lane Fund must enable him to speak of it with inure correctness than I can do —whose eminent abilities did honour to his pro fes►loll—whose private virtues lent a grace to the Institution, and *boor name added a lustre to it.--((.real opplasse.)--1 allude to my immediate and most respected predecessor, Mr. John Bit tttt ister—a gentleman, whose long profes sional career ous constantly smirked by public fa vour and by private rateeni—(tipploese)--e gentle man whose retirestsent Goon the stage, though it demised every actor of a brother did not withdraw from him a friead.—Hit contributions to the Drury-lace Fund must rank foremost amongst the most useful and disinterested acts of his life.— To myself. it is a itartictilar source of regret, that any circumstance should have operated to occasion sue to lowered I . But, placed in this situation, I ant called on to offer some history of the nature of our Institution. The name by which our Institu tion is not uncommonly, or improperly known, tit once declares its topsider and chief benefactors. It was his happiness, ten years after he first set this plait on foot, which was in 1766, to receive from Parliament its eanction, establishing this as a Corporate Body. From him, as Patentee of Drury-lane Theatre, the fund derived the greatest advantage. He generously devoted one night in the Neilson, to its benefit—and his lust will re corded hit posthumous liberality. Up to his death, prosperity attended the Institution—and, after his decease, his spirit seemed to hover around that fabric which he bad reared—nod, in aid of it, his Executors placed 4,000/. in the llamas of the Trus tees. The' fund progressively increased till 1793. Our records then "hew a dreary and barren waste of 20 years. Not only were no bequests made during that time, but our receipt* fell lamentably short of the claims that were made on the Fund. So much so. that the melancholy task devolved upon those who administered the Fund of decreasing, in a ratio of 10 sad even per cent. the pittance which had previously been the solace of mist•ry and wretched ness., iii 181.4 aid 1815 prosperity again, shone ou us—isod, fay the kind permission of the Com mittee of Lhury-larie, a betivhi was *Valli lest"ted to, which enabled us to restore to our anotietatsta that - which we had Wog withheld trout them.— (Applouse.) •' Having made this statement, it is now my duty to express to your Royal Hightiess the deep • Generally kaowu as "GARRICK'S Fuse." 4 obligations I feel for your presence on this occasloc. ' Allow me to say, that this day will stand proudly distinguished amongst the numerous records of the City of London. Great are her charities—wealthy and respectable are her cititens—and it must fill them with sentiment* of the most gratifying nature, to reflect, that they have ever found, in your Royal nig'mesa, a champion in the cause of virtue—a guide in the-pursuit of every thing good and es • ble.—(Cheers.)--The list of our patrons on this occasion is already brittle the world— our possess amount to 3201. per annum.— and 1 need scarcely say that is a sum manifestly inadequate to meet the claim, which the decay of our brethren may expose the Fund to. lam con. viticed, that, were our records known by the p u blic, they would afford the best commentary on the state of the Institution—and the best rethota for support ing it. Our records disclose a long list of hopes deitroyed, of expectations disappointed ! There is not ti page of it that would not draw a tear of pity Irons the most obdurate—that would not afford to the moralist a lesson worthy of the deepest con aideration.—(Apploure.)—All the varieties of dis tress which the poet has painted are there to be found : w Ambition Mir shall tempt to rise, Then whirl the wretch from high, To hitter scorn a sacrifice And grinning infamy; The stings of falseNiod those 'hall try, And hard Unkindness sliced eye, That murk! the tear it fureit And keen Remorse, wish blood defied, Aud moody Madness laiighing Amid severest woe." • (Cheering.)—The poet might have found in our brief chronicle' many realizations of this last sad description. Permit me to express my gratitude to your Royal Highness for your appearance here this day—and to apologise to the company, fur having detained them so long. , 1 have now only to hope, that the Master's defects will not prove the So. ciety's misfortune.'.'— (Cheering) The Duke of VAILIE then proposed " The health of the late Master, Mr. John Bannister."--(Ap plause.) Mr. BANNISTER—" I beg leave most gratefully to acknowledge the honour conferred oil me by your .Royal Highness and this Noble Company. After passing the best, I may add, the happiest part of my life, on the stage, I feel interested for those with whom .1 lived so long in habits of friendship. It gives me the highest satiafac tion to wet this illuistrious and sp:endid as semblage Mr so praiseworthy an occasion.— In reply to the compliment so handsomely bestow ed on me by my friend, I beg leavelo observe, that, 011 quitting the stage, I felt peculiarly gratified in resigning the situation of Master in favour of Mr. Kean—whose exquisite and ori gittul talvnt, joined to his well-known goodness of !mini . .. will enable him to do the most essential services to his distressed bretbrgn..—(App . tause.)— If any tiling_ like regret has arisen in the breast of the Master, Wens the idea that the patronage of the Drury-lane Fund is less than that of Covent-garden, the illustrious presence which now presides over our meeting will banish that painful thought, and enable him to enfant), in his owu peculiar manner— " Now is the winter of our discontent , 1, ALide glorious summer by this sau of YORK !" (Thunders of applause.) The Duke of YORK proposed " The Health of the Vice-Presidents." Lord 110I.LAND, in returning thanks, observed, that it wus unitecesaary fur him to say ally thing on the moliv..s which had occasioned their assem bling together that day. After what they had heard so beautifully delivered by Mr. Keats, he could nut add a 'tingle word with respect to the Institution— except that it was an Institution calculated to raise the character of the British Stage, and by that means to be advantageous to the country in general. To prove that it was calculated to exalt the Stage, it was only necessary to state, that it was founded by Mr. Garrick, and was that day supported by Mr. Keau.—(Appinase.)—To chew that it would rsise the character of the country in general, he bud only to state, that an 'lllustrious Duke was in the Chair, who felt deeply interested in the wel •fare of the community, and most auxisus to pro mote its happiness.—(Applause.) The healths ofthe Committee—of Mrs. Garrick— and of the male and female performers of Drury lane Theatre—were drunk with great applause. The memory of Mr. Sheridan—Success to the Co vent-garden Fund—the health of the Duke of Bedford—and prosperity to the City of London— were also duly honoured. In the course of the evening, the company were entertained with • variety of songs, glees, and catches. Amongst these, a glee, composed . fur the occasion, by Mr. J. W. Ritooes, attracted paiticulur notice. It was worthy of the applause it received. A song, written, and swig, by 31r. T. 01801 N—which, like all his compositions, was— " Armed with light points, antitheses, and puns," was much applauded.—,Mr. Webb, so celebrated fur his Irish. songs.. executed Paddu Carry with great humour, unil no leas vocal excelleuce. A mock Italian song, by Mr. Taylor—and a bur le.que Italian %cella by Mr. T. Cooke, in which his parody of Naldi was admirable—excited uni versal bursts of laughter. Mr. l'yne'a execution of Doke Domani, and Mr. Spray'. performance of Sir J. Stevenson's celebrated air of " Faithless Emma," were delightful efforts. Ili the course of the evening, Mr. KEAN, as Master of the Institution, stated, that the aubsciip lions amounted to nearly 1,000/. The Duchess tdloßK ;elect party last evening.
