Institution has been observed With clue honour, and b aug r mented numbers, in all tkc principal places in the empire. The following are among the 4PC'IIIIIICS which have already reziCi4ed us -of .leek: patriotic and loyal meetings. Snamt.l.o.-- , -Thit Society, instituted for the avowed purpose of commemorating the splendid talents and pre- , eminent virtues (If the late Right Hon. WILLIhIq PITT, held its annual meeting yesterday at the Tontine inn, in this town. The . assemblage of Gentlemen was nutnerou, anti of the mist respectable description. Animated by (-very patriotic iriottvt. which confets .dignity on the character of a Briton, the Society ) over which G. B. GREAvEs, Esq. presided- for the day, with a politeness and urbanity, for *bleb he is peeu flatly distinguished, testified, by .the loyalty of its proceedings, a just conception of the purpose for which it had assembled, and sorry we are our time prevents us from partieelarizing what passed on so interesting an occasion, a fitil account of which, however, we ,hope to have the pleastire of recording in our next.—(Sheffie/d Mercury, May 29.) LEEDS.—On Fridaylast, the celebration of Mr. PITT'S Birth-day was agiiin observed in this town. We have the highest satisfaction in stating, that the Meeting was at once numerous, respectahle,, patriotic, and harmonious. HENRY Esq. the Mayor, was in the Chair. Several Officers of the Stirling Militia, Sic. were present, and their baud played many favourite airs, Sic. About five o'clock upwards of 100 . Gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner. After which, The King,—response from the company, God bless him, Song—God save the King. tie Prince Reg , nt.=—Three times three. Glee--Heath to the , Prince Regent. The Queen and Royal Family. The Chairman, in an excellent speech, in which; after alluding to the glorious events of the last campaign in the North—the favourable aspct't of affairs in the Peninsula—the roused v abont to be inflicted on America, •and other 'O.; pies, he enlarged upon the late attempt to subvert the Constitution by the advocates of the ‘...otho ti6 ; and among other sensible remarks, 'stud `co doubts rests upon my mind of what would be Pitt's line of conduct in the present emef gency : it behoves us ,as his true disciples, to watch with a jealous eye and resist all inroads on the Constitution ; for, as has been well observed, A determination to preserve the Constitution as it is; is at least a safe policy : it is only going on as we have done; but the experiment of an alter . - ation may lead us into mischiefs, which the inno vator himself never intended ,•- such as no human foresight could predict, and no human ingenuity may pver redress., The wisdom of not doing,' is. therefore a wisdom to be respected ; it gene rally is coupled with knowledge and experience ; and it is sure of this good effect, that, it makes a pause, in which others may have leisure to learn caution and prudence. One among the many animating toasts given on this occasion, called up the Rev. Mr. WRAY, who concluded an admirable ,speech in these words : " I know there are persons who stigmatize this lamented Statesman, as the greatest asEMI of his country. - And, if, G'entlemea, to love one's country with more than common ardour—if to spend the best and largest portion•of one's life in that country's service—if, amidst all the tempta tions to opulence and avarice, to die poor, and be buried at our country's cost—if, in . short, to stand to the helm whilst life remain S—and with our parting breath to breathe only " for our country" —if these he the. ch tracteristics of an -enemy— then was William Pitt the greatest ~enemy that this country ever cherished. Bat, Gentlemen, I wish with all my heart we had a few such ene mies now remaining with us. I wish that they to whom the principles arid the name of William : Pitt are a subject of malediction, had bands so clean, and hearts and heads as sound as his, lf, with all ow admiration for William Pitt, his spirit, his principles, and his conduct, we were, for one moment, to with foe his return, it would be in times like these--that he might join in the com mon, triumph user the common foe.—Liad he lived to see the countless hosts of littonaparte melting away like snow before the stm-,--or rather like so many frozen. guide -posts, pointing to the course which the base deserter, took ; had he.lived to see this mighty hero flying in dismay frOm his wast ing army — disemutited--di4honoured—ltis 'glory shorn--,.his laurels withered—and entering his Ca pital in disguise at night—how would his patriot spirit have revived within him—kindled in his eye, and animated his whole frame. Gentlemen, Mr. Pitt can no-more cheer us by his presence—but I hope and trust, that his principles—his. patriotism and hia example, will long continue to animate.. the people of this free and happy land--end will conduce at last to bring the vessel of state in safe to the haven of peace." The evening closed in harmony and happiness, and in the end a regular Pitt Club was instituted, to,be ruled by the laws of the Pitt Club in Lon lion. The number of Members enroiled was very considerable, and we trust that this Aisemblv, having now assumed the form of a regular, Con stitutional' Society, will, by its practice, evince, that the sneers of faction, and the maledictions of the disaffected, are equally impotent against its public spirit, as the rude blasts are against the na tive Oak !—(Leeds Intelligencer) The Anniversary Dinner of the Society for pro moting Christian sinowledge, was held on Tues day, the Ist inst. at the Freemason... Tavern. His Grace flieltrchhisimp of CANTERBURY pre sided among a large assemblage of d;stingaished characters, to whom a very gratifying report of the labours and progress of the year was sish !pitted. VAUXHALL-GARDENS 'were attended on Wed nesday night tor the first time this Season, by a numerous assemblage of Rank and Fashion some improvements in the Saloon, producing a novel and unique effect, an 'excellent Band, and superb Fireworks, seemed to give an earnest of the zeal with which th e P r oprietors mean to conduct the amusements of this long famed and pleasing place of recreation. liVlPtitiAt • PA-httAitinTi i 101.164; Ob' LORDS, THURSDAY I 51/1.4E 3. - ii.OYAV ASSENT iVas giyeri iii 72 Biilq, iiiOstly of ti private or 10c41 it , seription; Tne Acts were principally .;:nstt.zi Ditties Tax.es—;;•Postage Duty—and..

The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE shortly re- , marked upon the object of the Act .of 1793, in which be generally concurred with the Noble Duke; but seemed to entertain doubts with re spect to the application of such an Act to Officers in the Navy. He had no objection to the second reading of the Bill, which forthwr•ith took plaCe, and which was connnitted for Tuesday se'nnight. The Bills upon the Table being respectively for war led, their Lordships adjourned (for the Whit stla Holidays) till Wednesday neat: !SOUSE OF. COMMONS. TXWRSDAY, JUNE 3. The Royal Assent by commission was ,given to seventy Bills, Public and Private. WILZIERFOLiCX obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Slave Trade Acts. On the motion of Lord C.,AiTLEIttEAGH it was ordered, that the House should, on Its rising, ad journ to Wednesday. FAIRS OF INDIA. The House having , gone into a Committee, Mr. SULLIVAN contended, there might have been a sufficient private trade carried on to had there been a demand for the manufactures which might, have been - exported. He entered into a detail on the subject of the trade, and con- tended that in all,' the Company had acted an able, honourable, and intelligent part, and left no gout( ground for being superseded by a new esti-1141'444 tent of agents and speculators. He then refer red to the evidence on the subject of the growth of cot►on, and thence argued that the Company had attended' . to the agricultural as well as the commercial interest. of India. and - that the re. i'enue had been touch improved by the cultiva tion of waste land. He also 'defended the Ze. mindur system, and generally the administration of the Company in India. Mr. Oawwe SMITE!, in a low voice opposed the resolution, and intreated the House to take care how they disposed of the interest and happiness of 60,000,000 of people. Mr. PROTHEIIOi would not notice the witti cisms which had been attempted by some Mem ber's on what they called the philosophy of the out-ports. They had indeed displayed a degree of philosophy, which would have well become even their princely rivals, for they had evinced the greatest patience under those mercantile depriva tions which they had unfortunately suffered. They had likewise pursued their object with a th.e de ference. to that House, and they had with much decortim conceded some points on the suggestion of Ministers. One Right Hou. Gentleman (Mr. Ponsonby), had expressed some dissatisfaction at the concessions which had been made by the out-ports, which, he said, looked like a compro mise with Ministers ; but for his own part, he viewed their conduct in that respect in a very dif ferent light, and he thought it savoured of wis dom not to be too fond of the right to follow the expetEent. In answer to what had been said about the Merchants of Bristol, although so eager for the opening of the trade, in the event of its being made free, would not send to Lutist One single ship, he was willing to allow that the character of the mercantile'people of Bristol was not- such as to cause them to be classed amongst those Who were so fond of speculations as need lessly to inv o l ve themselves in - those which at first might be thought hazardous ; yet at least if . the observation .Was just, they did certainly by their conduct deserve the credit of - being disinterested. Adverting to the complaint which a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Tierney), had made against the out-ports for not having brought forward evidence in behalf of their cause, he•owned that this an peered to him very extraordinary, for he had all along conceived that the East India Company. had a very important advantage by beine supported by voluminous evidence. The out-ports at one time had it in contemplation to bring forward evidence; but on consideration they thought it better to v u,. linquish that plan,,asthe object was not likely to be effected during that Session of Parliament could assure the Right lion. Gentleman, that thcr were not by any means deterred front procau_c t i o lf, evidence, troin any tear that it would . not t :t the test of the Right Hon.

"Of those who urged that the advocates of the cause of the out-ports had advanced bold assertions, and they had ce that 1 1. . vored opinions with unbecomingdecision, he would ask whether, OU the side of the Company, thcr,P bad not been an equal share of dogmatism ? lie then went on at considerable length, arguing upon the probability that the eons mnption of goods uthri-
