HUME presented a petition from a person of the name of Ponca, which stated the following particulars:—The petitioner esiepted the navy twenty-five years ago, fourteen of which he spent ,en etallismal service ; was present at the taking of SOO ships was diiittista times employed in cutting out vessels, with considerable danger and difficulty ; and seven of these vessels were commanded by him. He also performed an arduous duty at Boulogne, for which he bad received public thanks. In the Pherbe frigate he had bun wounded, and lost his arm, and, consequently, was disabled Isom getting hid livelihood in any other nay. Petitioner further •rated that he had saved the lives of a number of individuals, and that up to the year 1816 he had received a pension fur his wound. witch he lust by the natural course of things, when lie obtained his Lieutenancy. It appeared that a man of the name of Bullet, •was introduced to Mr. Perrott, by another person, who described kites as a Captain of a merchant vessel ; the object of this man was to procure a protection from impressment; and an in. **latent was afterwards preferred against Mr. Pcrrott fur, baying obtained money from him under false pretences It was tore *hitt certain memorandums were cutout among Huila's papers, which might be said to bear on the subject, but the quesnms was did Mr.Perrott receive money for the protection or did he no ? lir. Peered was tried under this charge. found guilty, and committed to paean. Three days afterward*, Ld. MMelville caused 'hie name to be struck out of the nary list. Jt might be that the peti tame had been too free, it was certain that he had been in dela, and that his friends were unalde tourist him. It was sometime therefore • before he was able to procure money to have the case inquired into. At length he succeeded, and the Court reversed the decree, and ordered him to be restored to all the rights he enjoyed before the trial. It dine circumstances were true, and if the Court had done this, he t,Wr. Hume) thought in common justice be should also be re stored to his former situation in the navy, where he had so distin. swished himself, and lost his arm. It certainly appeared from all . the affidavits which he (Mr. Home) held in his hand, that the charges originated in a foul conspiracy ; but even if they were true, he thought some mercy should be shown to the peti. tamer, who should not be allowed to starve after his ser. . vices. As a last resource he now petitioned for justice fturn the It was necessary to ease that he bad been tried by Court-martial- n eat, for going on shor e after sunset, to tight a duel; 2d, far disobedience of orders. On these tap charger he was ho : courably acquitted ; but on a third be was found guilty. Peti tioner row prayed, duo in consequence of his services and 'round. by eagle be reinstated in his situation, or be given some assistance to parent ).:,n from starvation. ' Sir 0. Ct iCKIIURN observed, that if the Hon. Member had merely breught tip the petition he should not have noticed it; but as he had gore so far into the subject, it was his duty to say • few words. Toe Fawn who now petitioned the House had been accused of taking matey under false pretences, from a poor weenan who wiahrd to procure • "Inaction for her husband. When lit bad got from her all that he could get, be ob. Load ha to borrow mere, and se took - from has the furniture of a house which she sessed, under the pretest. • sion that more money was to be paid fur the protection. The wbolle altar was at length brought before the Admiralty, and the evidence • was ma* clamor the subject. He was therefore dismissed. After hr had been some time in prison, a flaw was discovered in the in. i?•.settnest, and on that principle, and that only, he was discharged. The Admiralty imniediately sent to the Law Officers, to ascertain is there VMS any other cause, and found nothing to induce them to alter .air decroe. He (Sir H. Cockburn) had no objection to the pention being brought up, bat he should certaitly object to its nee. ?dr. HUME observed, thnt by denying all that was said by pi tireuer, any Case might be made out against him: but his eme do. pezded not on his Own assertions, but un the affidavits of others. Ile (Mr. Flume) had been requested by Sir Edward Perrot', the Luther ci the petitioner, to bring forward his petition. glt G. CLERK contended, that the case against the petitioner was an eleinly supported by evidence, that the Admiralty . could not, in Justice to the chancier of the navy, allow the petitioner to be re stored. He had not avoided the punishment of his offence, because the grace and favour of the Criwn had heen extended to him on a. 1 V review of the n tits of his case. but had escaped simply thiough some technical defects, which left the moral guilt as fully droved eating him as ever. No man who looked over the evidence on the trial, and the subsequent affidavits, could entertain a doubt as to the pentioner's ;,hilt. The saidavits on his behalf were all turt.le, it aliould be noticed, by persons who could have been ca nalised in Court, as witnesses fur the defence, but who, fur some r van or other, were kept bark from the scrutiny of crose-exansi- UAIM (Hltarthear..) Sir I. e.:OFFiN spied if the Admiralty could be considered so ' inhuman. *het if they disbelieved this officer to be guilty, they iii k kuLl refuse to restore him 7 If, on examination, they believed bon guilty, la the House recollect that he was considered to be guilty of the disvraceful Gana of defrauding a poor woman, on pretext d getting her husband out of the service. With such an opinion of him, could the Admiralty restore him to the rank he had so jvial:y for f e i te d ' Mr. ( . ..31.0kE1l said that no reasonable doubt could exist es to toe peddeaer's guilt. Application was made at the Admiralty for a protection fee - Holten, and at Perrotes lodgings a forged protec tion eon found. The names of the Clerks of the Admiralty, sub is:riblid to this protection, were wholly fictitious, with a view, he t Mr. Croker) sugpused, to avoid the higher penalty, to which Per.' suit itengined c:ie forgery of :he actual names would hare subjected tem. His ilecharge was solely owing to the fart, that an averment tu the pleadings was not set forth with technical accuracy. Mr. A. ELLIS entwined of the conduct of the Admiralty. Me. Secretary PIM!. wished the Heave to consider what would be the einurquenecs if the precedent were to be established of an appeal to that House front the decisions of a Court of Justic e . (Haar, Leer.) The complaint of the petitioner was, that having S eet convicted by n Jury, he was neverthelt es innocent. Mr. HUME v n.ross the house).—hl is conviction was done away by the Court of Kitty's Bench. Mr. Secretary PEEL isas aware that in point of law the convie non wag iyarnornad, Weds* preitioner was not suffering say penalty It 01E1111 in Coll(4ClllUttlre of his sentence under that conviction. He had escaped punishment through the technical defects of the pr0 ..4,111r1 ..4,111r1 against him. With i respect to the affidavits in favour of Eta p.rhtioner, be (Mr. Pee!) could nforn• the House that in four uu: of every tive rases that canoe to his offlce for mitigation of pu noslimeit or pardon, he generally received affidavits without end • but i.e was idiom disputed to pay much attention to them whet: procreded from persons who !night have appear: t! on the trial, but who preferred to avoid the risk of cross-examination, and evade the penalties ptrjory (hear, len).

It teas contrary to Justice, therefore, ti at he should he removed Mini the service in which he had been wounded, and left to starve, because a verdict had been mime tmsly obtained agaiest him.

Mr. W. SMITH presented a petition signed by between six and seven thousand merchants, manufacturers, and others concerned in the silk trade at Norwich. The petitioners hailed with gratitude the intended remission of the duties on silk, and they were aware that in throwing the trade open many injuries must be sustained that were unavoidable. They looked however with confidence to that House not to inflict any that could be avoided ; and they prayed that a drawback might be allowed fur the duty paid on silk now in a COMIC of manufacture. The total loss could not exceed I 0,0001-, but this would fall principally, and with great severity, on a few.— Ordered to be printed. - - - - - • COMBINATION LAWS. Mr. 11U.SIE rented a petition front the ladies' shoemakers of the bontugh of Southwark, and another front the same clue of arti sans in the city of Westminster, against the combination laws.— ketitml to the Committee on the laws respecting artisans and machinery. REFORM OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. HORHOUSE said, he held in his hand a petition for a kind of parliamentary reform, to which he could not say he agreed. It was for what the petitioner called a reform of a moral nature. The petitioner was one of his constituents, 31r. George Worgnian, a considerable jeweller, in the Strand. He suppose) the merits of the House to be so great, that no reform was needed in its com position. The prayer of his petition was merely for an alteration in the machinery of the system. He proposed to allow the exist ing patronage and influence to operate openly and without disguise, instead of being forced, as at present, into degraded channels. The House did not now coquet with the truth, or deny the ex istence of undue influence, and he (Mr. Hobhouse) so far eon ' curred with the petitioner, that he thought it would be better if the mode in which the House was elected was made more clearly ap. parent. The petitioner proposed, therefore, that the present borough-holders should at mice nominate their representatives. The Member would then stand in the House avowedly as the nominee of this or that Earl, and he would avowedly express the sentiments, and vote according to the interests or feelings of his patron. (Hear, hear, and •laugh.) The petitioner's plan was to confer oa the landholder the legal right of mending the 31embers without the intervention of the voters. (Hear, hear, hear.) He I also considered that it would be more available to the pur poses of good government, if the . purchase and sale of a certain number of seats in that House were declared legal. To this be (31r. Holthouse) had no objection. (A laugh.) It was done, in fact ; and he did not believe it redounded to the honour of either the House or the country, to conceal the practice by laws which every body . knew were systematically violated. Mr. Vl'oqinisor was no friend to what was generally known by the WOW of Parliamentary Reform. He was convinced that the House would never consent to it ; but he was of opinion they would con sent to his plan, which, he said, had the advantage of being practi cable; and, indeed, he (Mr. Hobliouse) did not ate why they should not consent to render that a lega l practice which was " notorious as the sun at noon-day ." r. Woegman proposed that a certain number of seats should be disposed of by auction • and this mode would unquestionably be attended with less imm orality than the present system. The purchase of seats was, in Mr. lVergnian's opinion, the only mode of introducing deputies from some of the large interests of the country. But he was not adverse to the represer.tation of every class of the community. He prat_ posed, therefore, that the right to elect another set of menders should be granted to sonic very populous towns, such as Riming hrin, Manchester, and Glasgow, in rimier to protect the popular in. terests, and introduce those depresentatives, who looked forward by that means to attain useful distinctions and official appoint ments. Mr. N'orgman woe no wild or visionary speculator. He considered that the only objects that could incite men to toil through the labour of obtaining the representation of large corn. inunities, was the prospect of official appointments. These were the only motives he could assign. lie proposed also to abolish the useless machinery of our Election Laws, and leave to wealth and power the right of travelling directly to their objects, without going by the circuitous course of soliciting the suffrages of some twenty voters, who dared not to give them otherwise titan as the borough , holder directed them. Ile (31r. llobhouse) could nut support the prayer of the petition, as he had told his constituent when it was confided to hi..l to present; but, at the same time, it was his duty to state, that whatever might be his opinion of the petition, it was drawn up in the most respectful terms, and contained nothing that could give offenee.—Ordered to be printed. SMUGGLED EMBROIDERY'. Mr. HOIIIIOUSE said he had another petition to present, but relattug to a very different subject. This was the petition of the gold and silver refiners and lacemen of the city of Westminster, complaining of the surreptitious introduction of embroidery and other articles of their trade from the Continent The petitioners alleged, that persons in the King's Government were in the habit of smuggling these articles, and that the whole practice was so great that they has nearly lost all their trade. He had been told by some of the must eminent tradesnien in this line, that whtr,.: they formerly kept 10 looms, they now had only one, in coLsNuence of the cent petition they had to sustain with the surreptnioas trade. The petitioners stated, that articles of embroidery had been smuggled by King's messengers, and under ttieseals of office; and they prayed generally for protection.—Ordered to lie on the table. LEGACY DUTY. Mr. HUME then, pursuant to the notice he had given, roor to more for &copy of the Treasury Minute respecting the wears of the Legaq Ditty. He was anxious to know the extent to which they hair curried the order. The day before yesterday he bad received a paper importing to be an application from the Legacy Duty-office ini the armee due on the estate of George Woodford, of Hanford, she had died in lilt The party to whom the application was' directed had died six or semi yews ago. If the duty was paid at all, it must be by his relatives. The Honourable Gentleman then moved for a copy of the Treasury 31inute lately made respecting the collection ut the legacy duty now in arrears.—The motion was agreed to. THE GUARDS. 3lr. IlL'3lti then proceeded t — ob . rial — flr;ward his motion respect. in,; the stock-parse in the Guards. He bad, some time ago, asked the Noble Lord (Palmerston), whether the pay of men under con. finement was added to the stock-pane, so as to be beneficial to that fund. The Noble Lord admitted that it was. The same night Mlle officers belonging to the Guards took an opportunity of giveng an unqualified contradiction to the Noble Lord's admission, and asserted that the pay of men under confinement was carried to the benefit of the public. He had since had reason to doubt the am curacy of this statement. By the words of the Act of Parli.unent, there could be tio question that the money belonged to the pub!:e ; but he understood that in the guards the Act was not observed. The late Mr. 11'yndhani had endeavoured to alter the mode of keeping the accounts of the guards; and he believed the Noble Lore' had corrected a good many irregularities in their proceedings relative to this subject. He was desirous of knowing how this fund, called the stock-purse, was created. The House sated a certain sum for the guards, besides which they had this fund ; but front what sources they derived it he knew not. He had been informal that in each company there was a certain number of non-effective tarn, borne only on paper. Reckoning eight to each company, the total would be 164 aim of this descririon. The pay drawn foe this; non-effective torn went to defray the expenses of the hospitals, , recruiting, and other contingent charges. The House had been ' told that the gu.erds were more economical than the regiments 'of the line; and if these were their practices, they might well seem to be econumicaL ISut no practices could be more inc. gular. No part of the public money voted for the payment of the King's troops should be disposed of, but under the control of Porliansent, and afterwards a full account should be rendered of the expenditure. lie knew he was laying himself open to the usual charge of making malicious and slanderous assertions and insinuations respecting the officers in qumion. On a former l occasion he haul been asked, whether be supposed they could be sus pected of acting on such base and mean motives, as to confine men ut order to add to their stock-pune. He would only answer by re faring to facts. Two men had lately waited upon him, when he happened to have a vacancy to attend to them. it laugh.) They asked him whether he was aware that the practice in the guards differed so materially from that of thedine. They told hint that the consequence of this difference of practice was much discontent among the men. Now, lie contended, that it was improper for offi cers to sit on a court-martial, who could be benefited by punishing the sawed. The officers ought to be not only above blame, but above suspicion. There ought to be no appearance of secrecy. He had since asked what this stock-purse was, anti he lied learned that it was • fund managed by the Captains and superior officers. In consequence of this information, be had propounded three questions to some officers in the guards, whom he knew, and he would tell the House the answers he hail received. His first question was, is there a stuck.purse in the gin ? 't hey ac knowledged there was. The next question ass. Are stoppage% made from the men ender confinement? They .eplied In tl e allir. motive. The third question was, Is the difference between 6d. and lektd. per day left in the agent's hands, or is it applied to the aux. mentation of the stock purse ? The officers admitted that they be , liens' it was applied t o t h e l a t ter purpose. He understood that the surplus of this fund was div ide d among the Captains had 'Field Of fi c e r s . Th ese proceedings were certainly rot regular or riper. The accounts were not furnished to the Noble Lord. Note but really efficient men should be enrollee!. Before he had made this inquiry, he had supposed that paper men were now wholly nut of the question. The Honourable Gentlemen then moved that a return be laid before this House of the number of men confined tinder the sentences of courts martial, whether general or regimental, or by the civil power, in each battalion of the .not guards, in each year, since January, 11116, to the present year, with the period of confinement for each man ; also an recount cf the pay stopped from each man, and to what purpose the sane was ap. plied ; also an account of the income of the suck-purse, from what sources it has been derived, and how it has been applied since Ja nuary, 1616. Lord PALMERSTON thought a gentleman so conversant with the ,:any Estimates could scarcely have moved for the papers now called for. The )took-purse was created out of the actual number en:pitied, and those not on active service, the diff e rence of which constituted the stock fund, which was disbursed in various ways. By 3lr. Burke's Act, the foot guards were excluded from this arrangement, and no detail botbre that was given MS to the stock expenditure for the antir generally. It was said that Mr. 11 - yrolliam rtshed to extend the system of the line to the guards, a tact of which he knew nothing. The same was said of himself; but he could assure the Hon. Member he was mistaken. With regard to eh, apness, he rather thought the guards had the advantage, and it both were placed on the saine footing he doubted if there would be any saving. Under all the cireuienuances, he thought the stock purse. formed by the Act of 1783, could not he very easily ex. plained, owing to the detail Into which it bridiched, and the diffi culty of procuring returns. By the Mutiny Act, the pay of con demned soldiers in the guards goes to a fund; in the line, that we;.t to the putlic. In ttte case of the guards, the forfeited pay NEW THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.

He believed that the dif- Inent regiments co oltard s applied the stock-pursydifferendy: in some cisi.ca the ding officers exercised • dhine , don, which strictly should be Needed by the Secretary' of %Via, and they I have given the mod the whole of the forfeited sum t in others r•r plied to the credit of the public; and in the third, it remained in the agent's hands to be handed overt but ia no case wee it divided amongst the officers. He thought this would exonerate the charge against the Milkers of the Guards, who would not be guilty of the baseness attributed to them fur any sum that could be named. Rut as it migla be satisfactory, he would have no objection to give a re- 1 turn of the sums forfeited since Bilti, together with an account of the mode of its application. He in fact thought this money a port of the stock-purse, but the officers of the Guards were so anxious fora clear undemanding, that they voluntarily wished the returns to be made. As to the pay forfeited by the men under tb' civil power, the officers had no control over it. Out of the pay of non- I effective men, all the recruitieg and hospital charges were void, which were paid by the public , by vote, in the line. The Noble Lord concluded by moving as an amendment, that all the parts of the motion, except the returns to which he (Lord P.) agreed, as he had just stated, should be omitted. Mr. BERNAL was gratified by the statement of the Noble Lord, as it tended to remove • very emeneene impression prevalent amongst the soldiers of the guards, to the prejudice of their officers. General GROSVENOR gave ritycredit to his Ilan. Fiend (Mr. Hume) for the motives which lidtent him to bring this ques don forward, and the more so, as it called forth the satisfactory ex planation of the Noble Lord. Sir H. HARDINGE defended the conduct of the guards as to I the stock-purse. In fact, a Captain of the guards, as compared with a Lieutenant-Colonel in Sin lira, was worse off; and with re spect to the subaltern in the guards, he was decidedly, as to pay, worse off than any subaltern to the line. The Lieutenant in the guards had is. a-day half, pay, mid his full pay. without any allow. slices, WAS is. lead.; so that, in fast, he every day did duty in the metropolis for the sum of Ned. &day. , 1 Col.

The Monilrar of Monday contains nothing of any im portance from Spain ; but under date from Frankfurt of the Sth March, it contains an article of some length, int peschieg the recent accounts, from Cerro and the lonian Isles, of the successes of the gallant Christians against their oppressors, and the details given cf the storming and sack ing of Caristo in the Isle:Sr Negropont, by Odysaces, the Greek hailer, and his aerated followers. The account of the capture of this imyortatit place may he premature, I though, feotn every intelligence we have, if it has not al reedy boast take n, we look upon its fall as certain ; but the authority iinputelting - it must rest on better fGuntlat!ons than the calumnies of the Smyrna journal, the avowed and purchased organ of the Ttnks. This publleation, for the last three years, has been ceaseless in its calumnies and falsehoods against the Greeks. As the tide of freedom has set in more strongly through the Mores, its temper has somewhat moderated; but still no reliance whatever can' be placed on its statements. Now, however, that an an thentic Greek journal is published at Miasolonghi, we shall have authentic intelligence from Eastern Europe, and the Oriental Spectator will be quoted no more. (From the Moffitt-1:r of a/onday.l FRANXFOKT, MARCH It 4'e have frequently had amoeba to point out to our readers with what distrust they should receive certain articles of correspondence from the lonian Islands. We have now another article, which we think we ought not to peas over in silence--The tiazette of Flo . mice, of February 17, contains a letter, dated from Corfu the nth of the same month, to the following effect : " It was Odysseus who conceived the bold resolution of taking Caristo by storm. For this purpose he assembled, on the 11 th De cember, his troops, to the number of about h,OOO men • he att. dressed them in a very animated speech, in which hr dwelt on the importance of this place, which decided the possession of the isle of Negropont. The next morning all the troops heard mass in a chapel dedicated to the Holy Virgin, and after having addressed a fervent prayer to the Almighty to bless their arms, they proceeded to storm the place. Odysseus, followed by the other leaders, again passed through the ranks, to encourage them to act with courage and pavverance ; he then gave the signal for the a:ltick, which ended it► the eaptnro of the town. T►e whole Turkish garrison, which had committed innorustable cruelties while in possession d the fortress, was put to t'te sword : only the women, children, and old men were spared, who were immediately embarked for Asia Minor, on board ships of war cruising in the Channel. The vic tors found in the fortreu provi‘iuss for more than two months, a great quantity of ammunition, and many cannon and muskets. The isle of Negropont may now be considered as entirely in the hands of the Greeks.— The Coariihutioirue/ of the Ist March, published an article, dated %ante, Feb. 14. This article, after di tailing rarioui advan tages gained over the Turks, ends with the surrender of Caristo, in coiii.erpiet.ca of a total defeat of the 'finks. We shall not stop to point out the discrepancies in these two articles, as we!l in the dates as in important particitlars. We will only remark, that a fact related in so positive a manner, with so much amiurance, and surh minutentats of detail, is a mere fiction, produced by the inventive genius of the Greeks. The Orientid rinfor of 30th January declares positively, that Cariato was still in the hands of the 'Turks. Now on the 30th January they tit:At have known at Smyrna a fact of this import. ance, which passed in November, as in the letter from %ante, rap-- cially if as the letters from Corfu say, the women, children, and old men, had been sent to Asia Minor.

The Anniversary of the Benevolent Society of St. Patrick, held yesterday at the Freemason:' Tavern, was distin guished not only by the Presidency of his Royal Highness the Duke of Yotk, but by the presence of several of the leading Cabinet Ministers. The Chancellor of the Exche quer was early recognized, and greeted on his entry by the most cordial cheers. Mr. ('anning., though he must have been p;reqtly exhausted by the lengthened debate which he sate out en, Teesday night, entered the dinner room with a circle of friends at seven o'clock, and was hailed by the most animated cheers on all sides. The Alutworeeey of a Charitable Institution can scarcely have, any pelletal character attached to it, and yet, connected as this Institution is with the mine anti Who el 'retell" we are disposed to hail the attendance et the Duke of York, and his presence yesterday in the chair, as indicative of the kindest and most conciliatory feelings towards that country. His Royal Highness, when addressing the re spectable and crowded auditory around him, spoke in the most affectionate terms of the attachment and services of the Irish people. He expressed his feelings unaffectedly, and with every apparent impulseof theheart. The effect on those around him was correspondent; and, in the words of the eloquent Minister who afterwards ad dressed this sensitive assembly, we trust we may hail the attendance of the illustrious Duke as an accordant part of the new era that has broke over Ireland. If the Royal Duke's sentiments were not, as he condescendingly ex pressed them, most affirctionate towards that country, the Heir Apparent would not have given his presence on such an occasion, and been surrounded by the Ministers and sup porters of the Crown. We only wish that the Duke of York, with his excellent heart and unaffected feelings, was better acquainted with Ireland—that, like his illustrious brother, he would visit that country, in all the confidence of friendship ; and his animated reception, if any latent pre ,riliecrs rested in his mind, would aeon dispel all unkindly feelings. The people of Ireland never can forget, that to his venerated father they owe the first relaxation of the penal proscription under which they had suffered for ages ; and that the first act almost of his present Majesty, on coming to the throne, was to visit Ireland, with the most benevolent motives. The enthusiastic greetings showered on his Royal Highness, by the hundreds of most respectable Irishmen who last night sate around him, form the best answer therican be made to the intern prate and unreflecting language lately coupled with his name in Dublin. Mr. Canning, on his health being drank, addressed the crowded assembly most eloquently, and in language indicative of those feedings towards Ireland which his whole public life has manifested, and the sincerity of which we cannot doubt. • Mr. Canning always speaks im pressively, but we never heard him, during the abort time be spoke, to greater advantage than last Met: his send ;tient& were liberal and undisguised ; he alluded markedly to the presence of the Duke of York, as President of the National Charity of Ireland, and anticipated the most fa vourable results from the feelings he had expressed; he drew, with that eloquence so peculiar to him, a happy and consoling picture of the future state of Ireland, and dwelt with marked discrimination on the good that must be pro duced by the direction British capital had taken to that fine country within the last year. His speech was received with the most enthusiastic plaudits. The Chancellor of the Exchequer also spoke soon after, and his sentiments were equally kind and conciliatory. We never yet heard Mr. Robinson utter a harsh or ungenerous expression respect ing Ireland, and he has omitted no opportunity of relieving the burthens that pressed upon her, and bestowing every possible benefit in his power. Ireland owes hint much, and the thronging auditory around him took every oppor tunity last night of displaying their unfeigned gratitude. Lord Wellesley's health was early drank with the warm est testimony of attachment ; neither 111r.Plunkett nor Mr. Goulburn were preset, but his brother the Duke of Wel lington returned thanks. The Anniversary of last night was one of the most imposing and splendid we remember seeing during the existence of .his excellent Society. The subscriptions so necessary to its support were large, and the Presidency of the lh k r of York, with the pres:.•nce of the Ministers who attended, gave it an importance, as regards Irelat.d, far beyond the mete benevolence of the day. The scene of last night augurs, we trust, better and happier days, and under impr9voil auspices, for the fine but suffering country with which the Society of S:. Patrick is so closely connce:cd: we have dwelt on the celebration with that impress:oil. IV!
