J. Barnes, Esq. presided over . festive board in a very convivial and cheerful L'lrotrtnee; arid Mr. James Thompson, the respectable orew er of the town, officiated as Deputy with be coming assiduity and attention. On the removal of ..th-ecloth, the Chairman rose, and, with some pre iatuey eemarksr, made allusion to the object of the ,meeting, and stated that' he felt much satisfaction in calling the attention of his friends assembled to the rst and grand toast, namely--;that of 'propo , ing the Health of Iris most gracious 1 Majesty." The '::Y'torthy Chaiiman then drew 'an interesting picture, to- contrasting the sovereignty of this country with that f b -..0t .er nations. - After t h e , g Duke of Clarence and the rest of the Yal family" had been given, with suitable de- At. tonstrations of respect, T he. CHAIRMAN gave " The Army and Navy," .The Duke of Wellington and his Majesty's linisters," which were drunk with much cheering. s The C or p ota ti on and Trading). Interest of King , 1 1" , " -were here given with mucl appplause, and lame was acknowledged by Mr. Reed in a very ecling and consistent manner. The CHAIRMAN then gave the Merry Wives, l be ,„belloy Lasses, and buxoM Widows of the Town Kingston ;" and added, that as it was a most en felting toast, he trusted that every gentleman resent would stand upon the occasion. Three t j!' l es three f o ll owe d thi s announcement, and three istinct rounds of applause in succession. h PIKF, Esq., in a very neat speech, pro d the h ea l t h of the Chairman, with thanks to rrr for the ability and exertions displayed, which "e said had so pre-eminently contributed in every .w itY to enhance the enjoyment and comfort of all Present. A very spirited and attractive acknowledg - :lent followed the conclusion of this toast, and im iense cheering greeted the reply. • t Air. Basis now rose, and stated that he had a t ry obser vat i ons to ma k e , an d a toast to propose that he felt confident would afford them a great deal of 4 atisfaction and pleasure. The Worthy Gentle- Pao beg an by sa yi ng th a t th e " Liberty of the Pr eis," it had been observed, by a celebrated " was like the air we breathe, which, if we Gave it not, we die." And as the advantages re sulting from the powerful effects of so formidable an "gine, were of a most beneficial kind, too much could not b e sa id i n i ts p ra i se , w h en d ev ot e d to just WWI I upright attainments; and, moreover, added he, that Wheth er t a ken in a commercial, - charitable, corn -' „su oicative, or other point of view, its efficacy was riost essentially advantageous in a free country like n it i end—its effects resisted oppression—it assisted the f• riendless, and kept - all in authority from exer e''iog an abuse of their station. The Chairman here eery feeli ng l y remarked, that tine daily Journal in Perticular it- was hardly necessary to mention to th eir notice,but to command esteem, he meant the ' a forning Adve r ti se r. This paper, . the worthy blltirmatt observed, originated with a very credit .. le (thou g h very frequently ill-used) body of , e re desmen, he meant the publicans and inn eePers ; and added, that it deserved and re ced the warmest patronage and support, ar 414 1 out of the very "benevolent and chari table intentions of its founders ; and, there for▪ e, said he, no motives Of self-interest had actuated it a original establishers : for not only had the Pr 0.... .... Prietary been enabled to construct and maintain a school fur the education and protection of the orphan the fatherless, but had very recently erected also, at or cost of s ev e ra l thousands of pounds, by the aid c ontributions.and otherwise, an asylum for no less 'lumber than forty persons of their body, who, P e tehanc e might happen, either from decayed cir e_uolstances or infirmities, to be rendered incapable housin g t h emse l ves . Th e sp e aker was here in s• r rupted by an unanimous burst of applause, which c could for severa l moments, and as soon as silence 1 ' 4 (1 be obt a i ne d, we f u rther understood him to i i -u)r, that he trusted an example of this character and 21 cription wo u ld nev e r fail to inherit success, and tt, the Game time to meet its just reward ; and . it '"eluded by proposing The Liberty of the Press, " i neY prosperity attend its energies on all upright, and charitable occasions ;" which was drunk • 14" :' ds t as great cheering as we ever recollect to have Witnessed at a similar meeting.

LITERATURE. EDINBURGH REVIEW, No. XCIX. rDINBURGII, 1829. We have read many better numbers than the present, of this Review, though few whose table of contents was more attractive. Locke—Dr. Channing, and American Literature—the By- zantine Historians, from whom Gibbon, in his latter volumes of the q Decline and Fall," has gleaned so many delightful sketelies—" Flax- man's Lectures on Sculpture :"—such are a few, a very few, of the subjects comprised in the pre sent number. We wish we could add that they were worthily treated ; but, unluckily, though they are all wrought up in a workman-like tshion, they possess little boldness, or novelty of thought, are meagre, and; barren of informa tion, and divested of any superior claims to eloquence. The first article, a Review of " Lord King's Life of Locke," tells us nothing ,hat we did not know before ; it is, altogether, a pasteboard and scissars concern, like a modern dramatic adaptation from the French, being merely a trader of certain striking passages from Lord King's quarto, to the pages of the Edin burgh Review. By those who would desire to obtain within the compass of a few pages, a tolerably correct sketch of Locke's biography, the article may be consulted with advantage ; but to those who have previously acquainted themselves with this great logician's productions as well as his biographer's details respecting him and them, they : will.,-appear a decided failure. Locke is one of those few really great philosophers, of whose amply stored intellect the more that is said, the more remains to be said. He abounds to profusion in materials for thought His works are a store-house of ideas, all cha racterised by the severest good sense. Such a writer consequently cannot be too often canvassed, ar.d we regret to perceive that the Edinburgh Review has tnissed'so fair an oppor tunity of once again enlarging on the merits of the disinterested advocate of truth—the friend of Newton—the inquirer into the extent and properties of the " Human Understanding." The notice of Mrs. Heman's poetry is sparkling, eloquent, and just ; from the style and quality of its remarks, we should conclude that it pro ceeded from the pen of Mr. Jeffrey. The intro ductory matter which explains and comments on the causes of the difference in the poetic tem perament of man and woman, forcibly reminds us of the judgment and eloquence of the able reviewer .of " Alison's Essays on Taste." The following remarks, though perhaps severe, are in the main just, with the single exception of the allusion to Byron, whose works so far from be ing, in the slightest degree perishable, have all the :elements of eternity about them : " We hive seen too much of the perishlble nature of modern literary fame, to venture to predict to Mrs. He mans that her's will be immortal, or even of very long duration. Since the beginning of our critical career, we hays seen a vast deal of beautiful poetry pass into oblivion, in spite of our feeble efforts to 'recall or retain it in , re membranCe. The tuneful quartos of Southey are already little better than lumber; and the rich melodies of Keats and Shelley,—and the fantastical emphasis of Wordsworth, —and the plebeian pathos of Crabbe, are melting 'fast from the fields of our vision. The novels of Scott have put out his poetry. Even the splendid strains of. Moore are fading into distance and dimness, except where they have been married to immortal music; and the blazing star of Byron himself is receding from its place of pride. We need say nothing of Miltnan, and Croly, and Ather stone, and Hood, and a legion of others, who, with no ordinary gifts of taste and fancy, have not so properly survived their fame, as been excluded by some hard fata lity from what seemed their just inheritance. The two who have the longest withstood this rapid withering of the laurel, and with the least marks of decay on their branches, are Rogers. sal Campbell ; neither of them, it may be remarked, voluminous writers, and both distin guished rather for the fine taste and consummate elegance of their writings, than for that fiery passion, and disdain ful vehemence, which 'seemed for a time to be so much more in favour with the public. "-If taste and elegance, however, be titles to enduring fame, we might venture securely to promise that rich boon to the author before us;• who adds to those great merits a tenderness and loftiness of feeling, and an ethereal purity of sentiment, which could only emanate from the soul of a woman. She must beware of becoming too voluminous ; and must not venture again on .any thing so long as the Forest Sanctuary.' But, if the next generation inherits our taste for short poems, we are persuaded it will not readily allow her to be forgotten. For we do not hesitate to say, that she is, beyond all comparison, the most touch ing and accomplished writer of occasional verses that our literature has yet to boast of." " French Commercial System" is an elaborate article, in drawing up which the most guarded caution has been used. This is evident through out. An infinite number of commercial topics are discussed, and, among others, that of iron, the prohibitory duties on which, the Reviewer states, have been highly injurious in their ef fects, having not only had the effect of adding from 25 to 50 per cent. to the cost of that most useful metal, but also of adding from 25 to 50 per cent. to the price of wood. " Memoirs of Lady Fanshawe" is a tolerably well-written no tice, laudatory, but not unreasonably so, of the fair biographer, n'f►o, however, is set down, and iustly, as inferior to the matchless . Mrs. Hutchinson. " The Byzantine Historians," from its : title, shOuld have been an admirable essay, full of incident, eloquence, and eha racterisiic historical sketches. It is here a scanty catalogue, or index rather, of some among the principal Byzantine writers, spiritless and common-place. " The greatest Happiness Principle" is an ably-written reply to the attacks of the Benthamites ; we need scarcely add that it is satisfactory and triumphant. " American Literature," as we judge from an indirect defence of the gentilities of the " Beg gar's Opera," proceeds from the versatile pen of Mr. Hazlitt. It is brilliant, acute, and as usual paradoxical, but full of an anti-American spirit. Cooper, the novelist, is scarcely treated with candour ; and Dr. Charming is dealt with harshly and unceremoniously. We are not among the number of those who, with Locke as their sanction, think that style is a mere matter of in difference. To us it seems fully as necessary as a good address to a gentleman. Mr. Hazlitt, however, dwells little, if at all, on the graces of Dr. Channing's style. He calls it, to gether with his philosophy, " ambitious com mon place." This is harsh, and, 'ghat is worse, unfair. Few, even among our very best modern authors, reason so justly and write so eloquently as the Rev. Unitarian of Boston. His opinions have always the stamp of l iudgment ? discretion, and soundness, and his lanrii ref is unifornil chaste, flowing, though perl ap rather too tame and equable. The account of " Auldjii's Ascent of Mount Blanc" is introducei by some ex tremely pertinent and useful remarks ou the folly of such gratuitous and idle enterprizes. " Flax man's L?ctures on Sculpture" is not equal to what might have been expected from so agree able a subject. It is, however, worth reading. Altogether the number is a good one, though assuredly in no one respect above the average level of periodical excellence. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Broughton, B.A. of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, to the Vicarage of Uttoseter, Staffordshire. The Rev. Samuel Raymond has been presented to the Rectory of Swindon, vacant by the death of the Rev. William Rumney. A i•ork of unusual interest and attraction is promised under the title of " The Adventures of, sta Irish Gentleman." It is, we understand, the autobiography of an- Irish Baronet, who nat rates his travels in Ireland England, Portugal, and France, in which latter country lie witntsses, aid even participates in the terrors and calaMities of the Revolution. In the course of his eventful life he pictures with an able hand the infinite variety of characters he meets with in every rank and condition of society. His details respecting the naval service, in which he himself enters—his shipwreck—his various love adven tures—his detention in the dungeons of the Inquisition— among an endless succession of interesting incidents, com bine to place the hero of the present production in a new and very extraordinary light. A correspondent has directed our attention to a nuisance at one of the large theatres, which we had hoped to see removed with a change of management. He tells us that on every night when Miss KEataLE does not per form, and the places in the first circle are not taken, from 30 to 50, or more, girls of the town, some of whom are not apparently 13 years of age, occupy those boxes, and even expose themselves half-naked in the front rows. We are sorry to say that we have witnessed the nuisance of which our correspondent complains, and w. cannot help expressing our Surprise that it should be permitted to exist by a management which, to do it justice, is in all other re •pccts attentive to its duty, and which has not now the ex cuse of poverty to plead for taking the monthly subscrip tions of these degraded females. It was bad enough to see them in the second circle, but it is much worse to find them in the first. In a short time, we suppose, we shall have them plying in the dress circle. The exhibition last night was a very disgusting one, and y e t we could not help smiling to hear the noisy shouts of applause bestowed by the audience upon some remarks in the comedy on the in decencies of the French, whilst there sat in the front seats of the boxes • number of half-dressed prostitutes, who would not have been admitted into a French theatre, or who, if admitted, would have been driven out by the hoot -1 lugs of the better Part of Ihe nu4l"ev---Morniny Paper.

FEMALE POACH ER.—ln consequence of the quantity of game which has of late been destroyed on Lord DOUGLAS'S property, the gamekeepers have been particularly on the alert; and some tune ago they die.. covered seven snares set" to entrap the timid pu•s." After two days' anxious watching to discover the owners of them, they detected a woman examining them, whom they con veved to Douglas Castle. Whe❑ taken she had on a plaid, the interior of which was besmeared with blood and the down of hares. She gave her name as JANE SCOTT, and accounted for the blood and down upon her plaid by stat ing that she was an egg-gatherer, and occasionally in the habit of purchasing game in the course of her egging pere grinations; but she strenuously denied any knowledge of the snares being upon the ground. It was found, how ever, that her real name was AGsrs Bove, and that her statements were otherwise incorrect. She was conse quently brought before the justices of peace at Lanark, on Wednesday last, when she was clearly convicted as a poacher, and sentenced to pay a fine of 101, or be im prisoned for three calendar months. In default of ment she is now in Lanark gaol. This is rather a . novel case in the annals of poaching. One of the Zudgfts, who has been upwards of 30 years on the bench, declared that he never heard of a female being convicted of poaching be. fore.— Caledonian Mercury.

ANECDOTE OF THE ROYAL SIAMESE PIE riIANT AT THE ADELTEII.—OiI Wednesday evening last week, the favourite keeper of the animal having stayed out after the usual hour of rethink to rest, tht two other keepers, who sleep in an ante-room to her highness's hed_ chamber, were awakened by the peculiar ell' of the animal, which resembles a trumpet ; she thtn struck with her trunk against the outer door ; the men proceeded to the stage-deor, where they found her favourite half-frozen, who, had lost Isis way in the log, waiting admission—the vo o , o tad reached her sensitive ear, and the took that maned of making his situation known to his associates.—Meesneve Paper.—[A dog would just do the same th:ng wifoout danger of AND TRADES- NfillaEyßsCarelyA a , ! range, reprehension," says Dr. FoL 1, there are more p ople mEITf.I S thi T n O k I ruined in England by Q' traling than .far want of trade; and I would, from my own unhappy experience, advise el( men in trade to set a, due compass to their anibitirs,— Credit is a gulf which is easy to get into, hard re, g e t o u t of. Caution, therefore, is the best advice ,hat can be given to a young tradesman; anti nmieration is an useful virtue in trade as well as in polities." In an, other place he observes, " the lieher the tradesman the boner he is apt to b , ,l la his adventures, not king to be so easily wounlf,tl by a loss. But, as the game ster is tempted to, throw again to retrieve the pact loss, lat. ,a adventure in trade draws oss another, Ed last comes a capital loss, which weakens tiso stock, and wounds the reputation; and thus, by one loss coming in the neck of Abother, the tradesman in first made desperate, in his 'desperation ventuter Isis all, and so is at once uatione.
