THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, May 28, [New Times.] At length it will be admitted by all candid ,persons that the views uniformly given in the New Timex of Spanish affairs have been as cor rect as they certainly were consistent. In an other part of our Paper will be found two docu ments of great interest ; the first is a Letter, of the 11th of May, from the Count de Montijo to the Count d'Abisbal, calling upon 'him to de clare himself independent until the King shall be released, and asserting that " to put in practice the Constitution of 1812 is physically and morally impossible ;" the other is the answer of Count d'A bisbal, dated the 15th, declaring " that the majority of the nation does not desire to continue the Constitution of 1812," and suggest in„ the adoption of the following 1. T measures, viz. o notify to the Duke D'An g o u l eme t h at the Spanish na tion, in concurrence with the King, would alter their Consti tution. 2. To bring back the King to Madrid. 3. To convoke a new Cortes. 4. That the King should nominate a new Ministry. 4. That u general Amnesty should be published. —By the French Papers of Sunday, which we received last night, it appears that the Count d'Abisbal caused the substance of his letter of the 15th to be placarded throughout Madrid, and that he added on the 17th a Proclamation, exhorting the inhabitants to receive the French army as friends. The Quotidienne adds, that. the Southern province of La Mancha is in full insurrection against the Constitution ; that Fer flinand is expected shortly at Madrid, and that A bishal is believed to have acted in concert with the Gen e ral s Morino and Ballasteros. [MORNING Port.] The letter of count Abishal is dear and pa triotic, and displays the sincerity of a soldier with the capacity of a Statesman. Ile declares that, as Commander of the Army, he will obey the King's Government, however he may dis• approve the conduct of the Ministers, and will • not set , the example of a pernicious disobedience. But as a Spanish citizen he claims the right of expressing his individual opinion respecting the • sittmtion of the country,. and the means of res cuing her front ruin. This opinion is, that the majority of the nation is not solicit ous to continue the Constitution of 11112, but that " the de cided majority of intelligent persons distributed among the dif ferent parties which unfortunately divide the nation, abhors both despotism and fanaticism, and only wishes for a liberal Constitution, which may conciliate, as much as possible, all awes of the State ; unite the will of the Spaniards, by insuring the dignity and inviolability of the Constitutional Throne; and do away the pretext that may be pleaded by foreigners for in termeddling in our domestic concerns, to the manifest infrac tion of the Law of Nations ; so as to compel them to desist from their enterprize, on perceiving that Spanish wisdom knows how to curb the fury of parties, and force them to retire ; because the Spaniards themselves, in concert with their Mo narch, discuss like brethren the questions which divided their opinions." in order to attain this desirable object he sug gests that it should lie notified to the invading army that the nation, in concurrence with the King, proposed to make such alterations in its present Constitution as experience had shewn to be necessary, and that consequently it ought to retire from the Spanish territory, and confine it self to an amicable diplo►nasic intercourse. lie recommends that the King and the Government should return to Madrid, that new Cortes should be convened, with the powers specified by the Constitution, that the King should choose a Ministry wedded to no party, and that a general amnesty should be decreed. He then expresses his readiness to subscribe any repre sentation 44 which may bring about so sacred an object."—Proposals, the first condition of which is the exclusion of all foreign interference, do not compromise the character or the dignity of the nation ; at the same time their nature is calculated to create confidence in all those whose professions of zeal and regard for the happiness and indepen dence of Spain are sincere. Should they be adopted, therefore, by the Spanish Government, they will put to close unerring test the real views enter tained by the invaders and their allies. Should they be rejected by France►, all parties in Spain, Royalists as well as Constitutionalists, must see that the subjugation, and not the► tranquillization of their country is meant, and the war will then be renewed, not as it has hitherto been waged, with divided forces, hut by a people of brothers rendered unconquerable by their union. [MORNING CIIILONICLE.] We understand the definitive formation of the new Spanish Ministry has taken place,—a sub ject on which there has been some hesitation, and, we might add, many intrigues. The names are as follow :—M. Perez de Castro, Minister of State; M. Zarco del Valle, of War ; M. Cala nava, of the Interior; M. Yandiola, of Finance ; M. Capaz, of the Navy ; and M. Vadat°, of Ultra-marine Affairs. The two latter have been •in their place for some time . . The Minister of Grace and Justice had not been named. We have before us a letter from M. Calatrava, dated Caceres, the sth instant,, ad dressed to the King, in which he says that if his Majesty is determined not to carry his resolution and appointment, although the task is [7IIE TIMES.] The Journal des Dads gives the stations and courses of the several squadrons and vessels cruising against Spain ; and the Moniteur, in a triumphant tone, speaking of these exertions on the part of the. French Government, says--" Let " us hope that France has reached the moment " of reaping the fruits of this disinterestedness tt and of these efforts. It will have given to the 44 world the greatest and most noble example, " and it will enjoy the pure and durable glory 44 which ought to be the well-deserved price of " its generous intervention:" Thus should it appear that the arrival of the French at Madrid, which but yesterday was predicted as only the commencement of their difficulties, is now as sumed as the consummation of their success. We cannot join in these rapid conclusions. The Cortes at Seville direct their attention chiefly to the linances, for which we must refer our readers to the proceedings themselves. superior to his talents, he is determined to sacri fice himself for his country, in order that it may not be thought that his wish to withdraw from so arduous an undertaking arises out of any personal interest or doubt as to the result of the crisis in which the country is placed. We make no doubt Spain will yet exhibit to Europe many leading men'as firm and patriotic as Mr. Cala trava, who will manfully defend and save their national honour. Mina is doing wonders, from the avowals of the French themselves; yet the real truth is hidden from us. We do, however, understand that he has determined to make no prisoners ; for he says the invasion of the French, without any previous declaration of war, or pretext, is unprincipled, and contrary to the laws and rights of nations, and they are therefore not entitled to quarter. This is very alarming even in the Pavillon Marsan ; and on this subject a most profound silence is observed. EIIItITISII PRESS.] Letters from fiayoune to the 17th of May give the most dreadful accounts of the state of things in Spain wherever the French troops have pene trated. Saragosa, so memorable for its glorious stand under the heroic Pala fox in a former war, has become, since the entry of the invaders, the scene of the most dreadful re-actions ; the Serviles, emboldened by the presence of the French army, have committed the most horrid excesses. The French officers and soldiers, who have been the cause of these atrocities, have in terfered, it is• said, in some instances, to pre. vent them, but without effect. The streets of Saragosa have become shambles of human but chery, by the sanguinary wretches whom the faction in France have flung again on Spain; and the whole canwille of that country—superstitious, ignorant, and vindictive—have been roused , and set in horrible motion by the advance and pre sence of the invading army. These are the bles sings Angouleme brings with him to Spain. This is the way that country is to be pacified. In Saragosa a French garrison only remained of six or seven hundred men, who retired into the fort, aban doning the unfortunate city to all the horrors of anarchy, and the ruffians who beset it. French patroles occasionally entered to try and stop the excesses, but the whole city was a scene of butchery and blood, and the Municipality, as a last resort, bad sent a deputation to Molitor, to entreat him to augment the garrison, and stop the horrible excesses which were prevailing. Longa, it appears, Like Quesada, ha's been com pletely deserted by his followers. This traitor was at St. Andero, endeavouring to recruit his band ; the few followers he had suddenly deserted him, and he was obliged in consequence at once to quit the town. Moncey, on the 14th, at length changed his head-quarters from Gerona to Vich. The French troops, it is stated, observed Hostal rich and the route to Barcelona ; the loft wing had pushed its advanced posts to the environs of Tordera and 'Migrate. The Spaniards occupied Mataro. Figuciras continued almost free.- 1,200 head of cattle pastured on the glacis, and the communications of the garrison from without, were uninterrupted. The garrison of Pampe tuna, it appears, were impious enough to make another desperate sally on Ascension-day, the Bth, while the blockading force was occupied with its devotions ; and the impiety of the Spa. niards was even successful, and caused the-devou , besiegers a heavy loss. [MORNING HERALD.] The affairs of Greece seem approaching to an 'cresting, perhaps a decisive crisis. There is a bare possibility, and even some faint hopes are entertained of a pacific termination of the contest. It is asserted from various quarters that the British Ambassador has submitted a Memoir to the Divan, detailing minutely a pacific arrange ment, by which the G reeks, on the one hand, should be recognized as an independent na tion, and the Porte, on the other, be indem nified for its loss of revenue—the chief ad vantage which the Porte drew from its Christian subjects by an annual tribute. This, no doubt, would be infinitely beneficial to the Greeks. Supposing that the tribute agreed upon, should considerably exceed the revenues hitherto received by the Porte, still th e b ur d en wou ld be much lighter to the Greeks, who would no longer be vexed by the pillage and exactions of the Turkish Governors. But there appears no probability that the terms, such as they are described, will be agreed to .by the Porte, and the business is likely to be decided by the sword. From recent accounts, it can hardly be long before the two parties grapple. The Turks have made formidable preparations. Firmans have been is geed, commanding the Turkish Governors to send what money they can procure to Constan tinople. The Turkish system of taxation is, we need not mention, rather summary. It falls with cruel severity upon those of the Greek nation, or Greek rite, still under the dominion of the Porte. The property of the Greeks who were assassinated in the island of Cyprus has been torts from the surviving heirs, and sold for the benefit of the Porte—that of the Greeks who are either suspected or have disappeared, disposed of in the same way—and, in addition, the villages along the coast, chiefly inhabited by Christians, pillaged and burned by the Egyptian garrison of the island. It is by sea that the Turks seem disposed to make their principal attack. The Musselman force is formed of three squadrons—the united Algerine and Tunisian, the Egyptian, and the Turkish squadrons—which are stated to amount in all to lOU sail of various sizes and denominations. This is the most for midable armament which the Porte has yet sent out. But the Greeks, leaving out of cal relation their superiority in naval skill and prowess, seem well prepared to encounter it.— The Ilydriot, Ypsariot, and Spezziot squadrons, ; all well armed, equipped, and ready to sail on the first signal, amount to 88 ships of war of various classes, and 24 fire-ships—with which, it is known, they do tremendous execution. By land, also, it is stated, that the Turks intend a last endeavour this season. Great efforts were in the act of being made, in the beginning of May, to raise troops in the European provinces, for the purpose of attacking the Pelopentiesus— 80,000 men were, according to letters from Salonica, to be employed in this service, with the Pachas at their head. Th ere is, however, less of cordiality and circu ms t ance in the account of the Turkisk preparations by land than by sea. But even if the statement were true, the Greeks of the Morea are in a state to make successful resistance. The whole confederacy is now under a regulir Government,—the troops are regularly paid out of a special military chest; there are in the Morea alone 50,000 well-armed and disci plined troops, and the Isthmus of Corinth is placed in a state of defence. IRELAND. Perseverance in the execution of the Insur rection Act will, no doubt, finally subdue the obdurate spirit of the insurgents ; but, in the mean time, the country is ra vaged by their atrocities, and notwithstanding the horror ex pressed in Parliament against the application of martial law, it is yet a question, whether the objects of humanity would not be sooner attained by it than by the slow process of trying them at Special Sessions. None will accuse us of harbouring sentiments either unconstitutional, or tinctured with the least feeling of cruelty ; but it would be kind. ness to the people themselves, to convince them that their objects are utterly impracticable—th at soc i ety cou ld not subsist under the law they wish to establish—and that were it possible to realize their views—namely, the occupancy of the land without paying rent or tithe—through force, a civil war would immediately commence among themselves—the strong would claim a larger share than the weak--and the elements of rapine and bloodshed would be engendered from the very nature of their new circumstances ; but before the insurgents could ever arrive at the first point in their system, the whole power of the civilized community of Great Britain and Ireland would be excited against them, and a war of extermination would leave the field without occupants. It is probable the peasantry do not calculate upon a result of this kind, and also, that they will not listen to any salutary advice, either from the Judges at the Sessions nor from the Clergy at flit Altar, and therefore considering them incorrigible, as far as persuasion and the power of the Insurrection Act ought to have infl uence , we see no reason that M ar ti a l L aw should be deemed a mea sure of terrific severity, for truly, if the Insurgents shall pursue their plans of outrage much longer, the well affected part of the community will be left no other resource for defence and pro tection against savage barbarity.— (Dublin Journal.) [From the Clonmel Advertiser.] About eleven o'clock on Sunday night, the house of a man of the name of Davin, at New Abbey, two miles to the westward of Clonmel, was maliciously set on fire, and wholly consumed—together with a large quantity of po tatoes, two pigs, and some household furniture. The house was on the property of Colonel Keane, and was held by Davin under a man of the name of Connors.— Davin, his wife, and their two children, had a narrow escape from being burnt. In consequence of this most daring outrage, we understand that a meeting of Magistrates will be held here at noon this day, to investigate the circumstances—a course which is most proper in the present condition of the country. The following has been communicated to us from Ardifinane, in a letter written on Monday : "The Police of Newcastle went out this morning to execute a espies. After taking two persons against whom the caplets had been issued, and on their return to Newcastle, a t th e cross of Mullough, a large body of country people, amounti ng to some hundreds, attacked them with stones, pitchforks, &c. for the purpose of rescuing the prison ers ; but the steady good conduct of the Police (who were - however compelled to fire in their de. fence), prevented the rescue, and they conveyed their prisoners to on intelligence of thi s a ff a i r their quarters at Newcastl e . arriving to Lieutenant Percy, ;hid Constable at Caber, he, and a party of th e 7 t h Hwitatirsle,}pirooncecadneddßtoev. 31 r . and there were informati o n s l o d g ed against a man, Newcastle( v e t o n di inquire into the tran sact i on ; who is in custody, for the attempted rescue." On the same morning, and in time same neighbourhood, another offence was committed :—Some cattle had been dis trained, from defaulting ten a n ts o f M r . Ri an , on t h e lands of Ratligally, While the cattle were driving away by the Agent and his assistant, they were attacked by nearly three hundred persons, armed with . pitchforks, spades, sticks and stones—and the stock was rescued, and the persons acting as drivers severely beaten. It is understood that the property is under ejectment by the head' landlord ; and that, although most of the tenants are opulent, and owe at least seven hundred pounds arrears of rent, they will not pay their landlord, preferring to keep t h e i r money for new purchases, in case their landlord be ejected through their default. We re gret to learn that this system is becoming alarmingly prevalent throughout the country. The lower orders seem - determined that none shall stand between . them and the landed proprietors, be their condition what it may ; and if such outrages as the transaction we have just related be not met with spirit, there Is no knowing where they will stop. The following particulars of a shocking outrage, and most determined defence, reached us yesterday from our correspond ent at Killenattle : " On the night of Friday, t h e 16th inst. the dwelling-house of Mr. James Ryan, of Newhall, in the barony of Slievardagh, in this county, was attacked by an armed party of ruffians, who kept up a continual fire for upwards of ten minutes, and broke several windo ws an d a d oor. The attack was evidently made with the intent of murdering Mr. T. Ryan, who was grazed by a musket ball on the left side, and had his shirt set on fire by th e bl aze o f t h e s h ot ; lie at the same instant received a blow of the piece on the left eye, which knocked him down ; the ruffian expressed a malicious triumph at seeing him fall— he said, s take this in the Devil's name.'—But notwithstand ing be, on recovering, assisted by his aged father, returned so brisk a fire, that the villains were compelled to retire without effecting their purposes. There cannot he too much praise given to a servant man named Nolan, who stepped forward, and with a bayonent defended a window during the whole time. " The Police stationed at Kileooley-abbey, under the direc tion of Mr. Morgan, Chief Constable, whose exertions to pre serve the p eace o f t h e country have been must unremitting, were In attendance in about fifteen or twenty minutes after the fellows had made off. Mr. Morgan proceeded to the place early next morning with a few mounted Police • nothing could equal th e dilapidated state of t h e house. The conduct of Mr. Ryan and his servant on the occasion was truly heroic, and deserves the approbation of the country. Much exertion has been used to apprehend the persons concerned in this brutal outrage, but we are sorry to say without effect." So great an increase in the number of persons exercising the calling of Retail-traders or Craftsmen has lately. taken place at Vienna, that the Government has found it neces sary to restrain all further accession for the present, by with holding the necessary letter of license. It is said many fami lies .ire nearly ruined by the undue proportion now existing. What a happy contrast does this country present : during the last year there wer e no t l ess t h an 0 00 workmen? cottages built at Manchester, and upwards of 100 more are now in progress. DUEL PREVENTED.—Yesterday two Gentle men, who gave their names WILLIAM GRAHAM, an Officer in the Army, and FREDERICK BURT, a Student of Oxford, were brought to Marlbo rough -street Office, ving been arrested in Hyde Park, while in the act of commencing a duel.— They were obliged to find bail to keep the peace, and to enter into the usual recognizances. THE PENITENTIARY.—Yesterday morning an Inquest was held in the Milibank Penitentiary on the body of a female convict, named Beth Lounton, who was convicted in 1819, at Northampton Assizes, and sentenced to 14 years' transportation, which was commuted to seven years' imprisonment in the Penitentiary. She was then 16 years of age only, and in good health, and in the beginning of the present year she be came a ffl icted with t h e di sease w hi c h h as occa . *Jotted such mortality in this gaol, viz, pains in her chest, cough, and diarrhma, which tenni... nated her existence on Monday. Verdict— " Natural death." On Sunday morning,during the violence of the thunderstorm, a ball of fire fell near Little. bourn, and a servant of Mr. Fletcher, butcher, of Canterbury, in company with another man, were (with the horse) struck blind for a short time, but soon recovered, and were able to proceed on their way. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY 22, COROT V. NEDIRLIE AND OTHERS. Mr. HART mentioned this case, in which a motion had been made before the Vice-Chancellor, for an injunction to restain the defendants, th e M anagers of Covent-garden Theatre, upon a bill alleging various acts of waste. At the same time, a de murrer had been filed 'to the bill for want of parties. Some doubts having arisen whether the demurrer should be heard pre vious to the motion or after it, the case came before his Lord ship by way of appeal, and now waited for his decision. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought he could trust himself to decide upon both the questions at once, and he therefore direct ed that both cases should come on together on Thursday next. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 27. 7'llE RING V. WILLIAM SMITH. '!'leis was an indictment for wilful and corrupt perjury as signed upon certain articles of the peace exhibited by the de fendant against a young man, named William Poile, the pro secutor, for fear of his life. The articles stated, amongst other circumstances, that a young woman, named Eliza Poile, who bad married the prosecutor, was his (the defendant's) own natural daughter, and that she had represented to him, which he verily believed to be true, that she had been obliged to leave her husband in consequence of his ill usage and violence ; whereas, in truth, and in fact, as the indictment alleged, the said Eliza Poile was not the defendant's natural daughter, and whereas in truth and in fact, she had not left the pro secutor in consequence of his ill usage and violence towards her. The defendantpleaded not guilty. The articles in ques tion had been exhibited by the defendant against the prose cutor, in consequence of the latter snapping a istol at him. The prosecution was con d ucte d by the SOLI p CITOR-GENE RAL, Mr. PLATT, and Mr. C. PHILLIPS ; and the defence by Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. ADOLPHUS. The case excited some interest, and occupied a considerable portion of time. The defendant, now upwards of 73 years of age, was a man of considerable substance, residing in Boord man-place, Edgware-road. Some years since he had been in timate with a married woman, and it was supposed that the fruit of the intercourse was a female child, whom he took under his protection, brought her up, suffered her to go by his name, and treated her in every respect as his own daughter. Being arrived at the age of 18, and being himself about to marry, he was anxious to provide for the girl. in some oth er wa y, an d h e accordingly apprenti ce d h er to the business of a milliner. She was placed under the care of a Mr. and Mrs. Gurney, and whilst under their roof she formed a clandestine acquaintance with an officer in the army, by whom she was seduced, and' was afterwards delivered of a boy ; she kept her situation a perfect secret until the birth of the child disclosed her Mis fortune. The defendant then took her again under his own roof, determining that she should remain with him until the end of his life. Whilst in this situation, the prosecutor, Mr. W. Poile, found means of getting introduced to her; he made a formal declaration of love, and offered her his hand in marriage. She acquainted him fully with her situation, and the unfortunate lapse into which she had fallen. This intelli. gence, however, did not abate the ardour of his passion ; he continued his addresses, and they were ultimately married. The prosecutor went into partnership with Mr. Stonestreet, in the business of a pawnbroker. The defendant advanced him money from time to time, to the amount of 5001. He made further demands upon the defendant, on the plea that money was wanted for his business. Ile offered to deposit with the defendant plate and jewels by way of security, and also, the joint warrant of attorney of himself and partner. In all, the defendant ad. vanced him 1,01)01. It was stated, that the defendant treated the prosecutor with great kindness and indulgence. The pro secutor addressed him constantly by the name of father, and always treated and spoke of him as the father of his wife. In process of time, however, the prosecutor began to treat his wife with great cruelty and unkindness, and it became neces. sary to institute proceedings in Doctors' Commons for a di. vorce. They were ultimately separated. The occasion which led to the exhibition of the articles of the peace above-men tioned, was the prosecutor's going one day to the defendant's house, presenting a pistol, snapping it at him, and behaving cfoaiumnedgeetdoey vidlence. In consequence of his demeanour on that occasion, the defendant filed the articlee, in which he made the statements upon which the present indictment for perjury was Mr. Poile, the prosecutor, deposed, that soon after his wife live with him,' she becam e extravagant, and he WAS unable to supp ort her. She left him on two or three occasions, and lee always found her afterwards in lodgings provid e d by the defend a nt, h er f ather. Thedefendant had induced his wife to leave him, and live with him (the defendant). He after. wards discovered that hi s w if e l ived with the defendant as his mistress. Shocked at such di sgraceful conduct, he withdrew th e jewels and plate, which he had deposited with the defendant, by way of security for the money he had advanced, thinking, after such conduct, the pro perty would not be safe. It was in consequence of this hor. rible conduct th a t h e h a d gone to the defendaneshouse, with th e pistol, on the occasion in question. He had always understood that a Captain Godfrey was the father of his (witness's) wife. He positively denied that he had ever used his wife ill. She had thrown a flat iron at him, and he had on that occasion seized her by the anu s t o prevent her doing him any mischief. '!'his was the only occasion on which he had used violence. On the part of the defendant, the improbability of .the tale told of the defendant was urged, and a great number of the prosecutor's letters were put in, addressed to the defendant, in which throughout, lie described his wife as being die defend ant's daughter, —spoke of him as the kindest and most indul gent of fathers, and acknowledged the obligations he was under, for pecuniary assistance. l'ivo witnesses were called, who proved distinctly that the prosecutor had frequently beaten his wife, and abused her in terms the most offensive. The Sotact TOR-GENERAL declined proceeding further. The LORD Cuter JUSTICE told the Jury, that there was certainly no proof direct that Mrs. Poile was the dedefendant' `natural daughter, but lie had always treated her as his duld— jsillimetilfiyadgeassisteattleamsesnutcwh h i i n ch tl t i l e le aAd n , d a a n n c t i l d;i i t m w .a a d s e s i d n ffi t c h i e en art t to i. des of the peace. The other assignment of perjury seemed to have been clearly answered by the proof that the prosecutor had n fact ill-used his wife. The Jury immediately round the defendant Not Guilty.

The Anniversary Festival of this extensive and highly useful Soci e ty was h eld on Monday at the Free. masons Tavern. In consequence of the absence of the Hon. Mr. Clifford, through a d omest i c ca l am i ty, the Hon. Edward Petre was called to the Chair. He was supported by the Right Rev. Dr. Poynter, Sir George Jerninghatn, Bart. &c. & c . The gallery was fi lled by Ladies, the Patronesses and Friends of the Chanties. The cloth having been removed, Non Nobis Donaine, per formed by the professional singers present, and the usual loyal and national toasts drank, The Hon. CHAInMArt rose to propose the health of an indivi dual, whose name, through his virtues and deserts, required no preface. lie had often had the satisfaction of meeting the Right Rev. Gent, who sat on his righ hand at meetings held for the purpose of forwarding the ends of charity, and he had ever found him ready to exert his talents, use his influence, anti stretch forth his hand in the cause of benevolence, and to rescue the fatherless and the indigent from suffering. and disgrace.—(Ap plause.)—He l amente d that misfortune had deprived them of a Chairman who was so much more capable of doing justice to the great merits and claims of his Right Rev. Friend than he was ; but he had the gratification of knowing that the health of Dr. Poynter required no preface; and though eloquence might give amomentary impulse to their warmth, he felt convinced that no words could add to the respect, the veneration in which they held his virtues and his talents.--(Great applause.) The Hon. Chairman then proposed the health of " The Patron of the Charities, the Right Rev. Dr. Poynter." The toast was drank with three times three, and loud applause. Dr. POYNTER returned thanks for the honour which the Chairman and the company had conferred on him, by the very flattering manner in which they had drank his health. He could assure them that nothing could be more gratifying to his feel ings, independent of the approbation he , net with at th e i r h an d s , than labouring to forward - the ends of charity and benevolence. The charities for whose welfare they were then assembled de served their support. They merited encouragement on every principle ; for they diffused religion, they increased knowledge, they promoted industry, and they rescued many hundreds of children from the ways of vice and infamy, and rendered them useful and valuable members of the community.—(Applause.). On the health of the Chairman being drank with three tim es three, he exp resse d hi s grateful acknowledgments for the honour they had done him ; and as the procession they were about to witness would occupy some time, lie would take the liberty of proposing to them, though out of the usual order, the health of their President, who might be truly called the father of these Charities. The health of Lord Clifford was then drank with loud ap plause. A most interesting and well conducted exhibition followed. The children belonging to the different schools preceded by their directors entered the room ; the eldest girls and boys bearing banners, on which were inscribed the musics and purposes of the different establishments to which they belonged. The orphans supported by the Institution led ; the girls anti boys educated a nd clothed in the five different schools followed ; afid the lads ap prenticed from the Charities concluded the procession. The whole amounted to between six and seven hundred children, They were dressed in green, and extremely neat, clean, and healthy in their appearance. One of the children returned thanks for the many blessings their protectors had bestowed on them, and earnestly hoped that Almighty from whom all good was derived would repay them fourfold for their beneficence.
