Oa so large,and complicated a sub • jeer, it was impossible to expect that any two ylaus of action wo6ld exactly correspond—there was, however, same point on which all must agree. mane " ly, the magnitude of the evil, and the necessity. if possible, for its removal.—/Ham.).-That this great evil was argent end extemilb, they had the • snort dertmestrative proof.

Ma would, however, beg leave to throw out a few -! hints . ow the present occasion.—(Hear, hear.). In die first place he desired that he should be ces. entered as one of those who thought that the exist ing instituters's, of this country were sufficient to keep down a vast portion of time evil now complain. rd of; if they were properly sAnsisiistered. tHrox.)—lt was with this feeling that he approved • of the suggestion of co-emending with the pens. chial officers on a reciprocal system ; not only so as thatlocal distreesei , should be severally seen and mitsgeteil, btit also tlutt the matter should. by this proper appropriation of labour. be brought within a practicable compass , . It had been truly said. that one Consniittee would be inadequate to go through all the cases of distress which mina at once be pre. seated, and that this beanie's could only be effect ed by an srningenieut of Sub.Corainittees. The plait or- Mt, Martin sues sis.exceedougly good one. as it would, in the shortest possible time. bring under the eye of the Head-Committee the whole class of the mendicants now in the metropolis. That Gest tlenian hail. however, in his classification of .oau • pens into those who lord and had not parochial set- . ileintisis, omitted to allude to two descriptions of suf-' ferers. who were undoubtedly entitled to the utmost commiseration auil relief. One description were to be suet with in every quarter of the town, lie meant those poor natives of the East, the Lateen. who were brought in tech numbers to this country.

The East India Company had ao establish.. mesa for the Loaders in their employment, and would, no•doubt, assist in providing and enforcing the necessary subsistence for the p 61 0 ,0116 to wham 1w alluded—and the Committee could effect thus at Wile or ea expense. There wee another class omitted—he meant the poor Africans, who were also to he reels in every quarter of the town, and in whose intrfelt. to the honour of this country. 60 Mtn+ public IyoSVAtily was excited.

Soldiers also would be easily provided for—many of them hail pensions of wt. or 141, per annum, which, with a little addition, would be found aufficieut ; and in this part of their inquiry ha knew they could rely on the moist:ince and co operation of his Royal Highness the Custitnauder in.Chief to relieve this class of. individoida. A great benefit arialog front proper clits.ification would be the detection of the large swiss of impostors . incorporated with the paupers now in the streets, and thootrit, as he said before, he did not think wiendicity would be entirely suppressed, yet he had no doubt, that, from their exertions, its evil , would be considerably reduced. The Honourable Gentleman .again adverted to the advantages to be derived in the progress of this undertaking from • proper subdivision of labour ; by which intuits the exteut of the evil may with facility be laid open. and a proper ohm arrisitged for meeting •ite Wrens! parts. A subscription was in the first instance necessary, to afford ivaisl•nue to the real :objects who may be before the Connuittee ; and-he was sure it would be soon found to contain the names of the first persona in the country, many of whom •he had no doubt would hive been this day prevent, were it not for the *lnset notice which had been given of the Meeting.

The Rev. Mr. BUDGE seconded the Resolution. From his connexion wills a oafish which had ass ex tensive populotinit he was fully impressed with the melancholy stale of the lower classes, and the im passibility of their receiving at this time soy thing like,adrquate relief frosts the parochial funds. With this impression, he came to that Meeting to co.opt. rate ii may measures that may appear calculated to relieve the aufferisigs and disiremes of so large • pot... tem of starving fellow.creaturett.—( Hier.) Mr. Touts proposed the names of Gentlemen for the Committee. The great object, he said, would he to establish a Cu. 'flee. hawing a sort of centruf office from which the Sisls.Coi sssss titers op pointed 'hookd branch forth. The result of a pro per claisdication would, he was convinced, be pee; ductive of immense benefit to the coininusisty in every respect. A set of queries could be provided, arranged so as that when the mimes of peepers were entered, they would coinprke a registry of their cases. lit allusion to what hail fallen- from Mr. Hume. ,he begged to say, that the Lowers had a provision assigued to them—the Africans certainly had not. The first thing to be dune, would be to issue tickets to subscribers, for such persons as were cousidered proper objects—this consideration, of course, to be the , result of :111 investigation by Comilittee. This Alersiug, though not numerous, was highly regrettable, and he had no doubt would receive the public support which it •deserved.-- ( Heor.)—When they recollected the interest that attached last summer to a visionary scheme, he was sure the public would not he found less alive to one which was practicable. and so full of benefit to its dearest interests.—( Hear.) Mr. Fast:ss seconded she appointment of the names proposed fur the Committee. He said the evil was ost all sides admitted to be great and apparent : the only question was as to the remedy; and the man who iu the course of the inquiry was found to have suggested the best tow, might, on his death-bed, say that he had not lived in vain. Let not the gigantic appearance of the ',inject deter them fruits undertaking the work. if they were only able to save from starvation a part of the suf ferers, a great object would be attained by their exertions.—( Hear, hear.)—The road to utilitary glory was 110 M shut —the Temple of Janus was closed, lie hoped, for ever. The ranks of humanity now led to honour, and he hoped they would be soon filled by an effective force.—(Applause.) Mr. FiLOD seconded the proposition for nomi nating the Chairman to be Treasurer of the Asso ciatioo. lii agreeing with those alto considered this question to bea political one, be could not help saying. contradictory as it might seem to his ad mission, that it was at the same time one of the !ugliest and mast important politieul ones, nut in deed as cawing within the sphere of their little party bickering., but which went to the root of the frame of society. It was truly said in Scripture, that when One of the members was indisposed. the rest .suffered from the malady: so it was here. So ciety was like a pyramid—its lime was formed by the lower clasoes—and when the strength of these became diminished, the whole fabric must totter without timely relief. • On the motion of Mr. BLUNDELL, Mr. BOD.• atm was appointed Secretary. . Mr. Memoir again urges the Meeting to use every effort to continue the work which they had now begun. It had nothing in it of political feel.. iug—their great object war nut to brace the causes from which the prevailing distress grew, bet to point oat and relieve the objects thus desolate. It was quite enough bur thentJA secure a remedy with. out itiquiriug into the nature of the origin from which the evil sprung. He was happy to see Gen tlemen present (the Hum (iesitlerisait alluded to the .Reporters from the Newspapers) who would put this point to the public in a better light than he could, and who would thereby do great service in the cruse.—( Hear, hear. /=lt loot hero rasa that large funds would not be howl necessary.

This was a serious consideration, which ought to meet the eye of the Government. _ _ Mr. ROWCROFT strongly urged the necemiity of a general co-operation ; nothing, he said, could be done o►► a large scale by a single effort, but co►►- stancy accomplished great things. A Gentleman stated, that by a continued effort the paupers in the city of - Bath .were reduced to a comparatively trifling number. • Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, who expressed his acknowledgments fur the favour conferred upon hint, and hoped that, on a future day, they should have claimants for the honour of filling that Chair who would be calculated to do more justice to the object of the Meeting than it was in his potter to confer upon it. The Alerting then separated, and the Committee is sfiortly expected to submit a specific plan to the consideration 6r. future Meeting, relative to the important inquiry Intrusted to them. 'Subscriptions were entered into to promote the objett of the Meeting. PO L/C E. - - MANSION MOUSE. PROPHECY.

We have already noticed the death and burial of this excellent (10111. The fullowing account is copied from " The aid lure Gtozeite :" We have now the melancholy; task of recording the death of thus; distinguished scholar, the Hey. Charles Horsey, D I). Hu Christmas Eve, after reading to his family the sermon he had prepared f.w delivery on the succeeding day, he me wed to brit is perfect health. About ten o'clock on the fol lowing morning, the servant, upon going into his chamber discovered, that in the act of dresses' himself (probably while N looping to tie his shoe-string), an apoplectic it bad seised him, sell he was exteredeslAnnsioslitom Medical assistance was isamediatirtrpfocered. The fatal blow bad, however, fallen; and, altbunkit life contioned till nine i.s7clock on the Sunday morning, there were nu hispei of recovery fens the 111111111ellt of the attack. He lingered, almost speechless, till the hoar of dissolutiou. A few brief sentences have told the circumstances of his death, and his mortal remota' have been committed to the grave. Nut so shall pass away the:sensory of this excellent scholar. While Loarmisq shall record the acquirements of her chil dren—while the virtnes of social life shall he dear to the re. eullectioo—while a vigorous ■wderstanding, cbasteued by deep erudition, shall ennoble the name of man, his Dante shall be And amimgat the must di►tinguished. The World, by common consciii, has lung etkuowledged him the first classical scholar of the age. When Nonni died, the palm became oudispiited; and, though we have still left amongst us men, whom days of undivided toil, and eights of undiminished study have rendered accomplished and profound, even by these the name of Burney will continue to be adduced, as of owe who dad reached the most eminent literary ascendancy. , The Rev. Dr. Burley was the sun of Charles Burney, Doctor of Music. At an early age he diatipm,pisheil himself for his, pro:. Selene, in elassicallearniugt and as au timeliest to Dr.RIP•e, at Chiswick, he perfected himself in thou studies, which in bis later years acquired him the high reputation he oolong enjoyed. Upon the Doctor's marriage with Miss Rose, the manage meet of the school devolved upon him ; and fur many yaws at Haessiersseith, and afterwards at Greenwich, the beat portion of his life was passed in the laborious duties am schoolmaster. The eminence to which many of his pupils have risen is the Pulpit, at the Oar, and in the Senate.. bears sicoug 'patrimony to his unwearied amitluity is thin arduous protes t skim. ..... . lahorimie, indeed, are.the deities of a schoolmaster, and highly praiseworthy is he who can patiently apply himself to the instruction of youth. From the peculiar mortification% attendant npon this task Di. Burney was not exempt, alt hough he toiled for so many years, and with so much sneers, in this wearisome profession. After a period of between 29 and se years de. voted to his school, he thus steamily, in the Preface to his Abridgment of Bishop Pearson, speaks the leaguer of ex perience: " During the latter part of this period, the dilEculties, the toils, and the salacitaile of the schoolmaster's occupation have been gradually and greatly increased; not so much bp file eril days in sekiell we are /Wien,' as by those extra ordinary aud destructive indulgeenries, with which children are now gratified, during the seasons at which they arc uu der the roof of their parents" " As long as the domestic system of education preserves its present form, it will inevitably produce a distaste for sillily at school, which the active exertions of a master must cionlist ; • repugnance to regulations which he must vigor ously correct, soil a defiance to authority which be mast in ressaidly labour to restrain. Let not my lwelhren, however, though the prospect is gloomy, and their cares are augnieut et', shrink (nun the active fulfilment of this arduous task ; hut let them recollect, amidst watchfulness, which must en fel:We'd* stoutest frame, and amidst exertions, which must enervate the most vigorous understandiun., that no occupa tion can be more eminently useful than and in which they are engaged." Friw this enervating profession the Doctor, in 1812, totally retired, leaving in the hoods of bitten's cliarte which he had himself so long and so lisuotirahly exercised. In the year 1807, Dr. Burney entered into Holy Orders; anal has resided, since his retirement from the school, at his Rectory-house at Deptford. There, in Ike continued pro. : recution of literary pursuits, were passed his latter years. SorrOuniird by the ruble library he had collclntil, for enjoyed in the bosons of his family those pleasures which a cultivated mind can :thle appreciate. In the full vogoiar of manhood, with the promise of an ex: tended life, he was summoned suddenly, but not unprepared, to the mansions of eternity. The sorrows of the living are not within our prneitice in this brief notice Of the dead. May the proud memory lie tae left behind him be souse consolation to libel! afillietions!
