GREEK COMMITTEE.--The Greek Com mittee are enabled confidently to state, from information from various quarters in their possession, that Subscriptions can now be applied with every prospect of success to the pro motion of the Greek cause. Without entering into details, which can be better given by individuals of the Committee, or the Treasurer, or Secretary, they confidently state that specific and highly important objects are within the reach of very moderate means ; that they have the utmost confidence in the usual efforts of British assistance; and that the ultimate fate of this great cause may, in an essential degree, depend upon the timely and general support of the British Public. The period is now approaching m which the active hostilities of the Turks usually commence ; and while the Greek Committee calculates with decided confidence on the favourable results of the eflbrts of the Greeks supported by the active sympathy of their fellow Christians, they cannot contemplate the possibility of repetition of the butcheries of Scio, Cyprus, and Smyrna, without the conviction that the appeal they now make to the Christian world cannot be made in vain.

Admittance, One Shilling. To T. TAYLOR, Esq. No. 9, New Bridge-street, London. HoNovae', SIR, BEG leave to Inform you, that ever since the I year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal, wh;ch, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine. prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalscrere courses of salivation, and twice dim dinged from the Hospital with little relief, .would appear to be of the mast inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put it period to my existences—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, on e an each arm, and my leis were broke out in a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in as n early to deprive me of rest ; is this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to do on the 26th o. May; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benefit--in little more than a month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly heal,l— soon after, the sores on my legs healed also ; leaving, how ever, considerablediscolnuration in the skin, and pain in the boot) of the left, which,. by the blessing of God, and a little longer pet severance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and the nocturnol pains gradually going off.—l thus became, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my former eemplaints—have recovered my former spirits a lid strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which st.ste hariog continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew um, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa sion; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant ALEX.

LAW INTELLIGENCE, COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, MAY 17• THE EAST INDIA COMPANY V.BARCLAY,TRITTOK,AND CO. This was an action by the East India Company against the firm of Barclay and Co., bankers, to recover it sum of 35,000/., which the plaintiffs had paid, as they alleged, on the faith of the defendants' indemnity, and which afterwards they were obliged to pay over again, in consequence of the de cision of a Court of law, that the original payment was improperly made. In 1809 a gentleman named Hope, who had been long resident at Mad ras , d eterm i n ed on returning to England ; and in order more safely to transmit his effects, converted them into bills drawn on the East India Com pany by the Presidency of Madras, and remitted the bills to a gentleman named Card, residing in London, and carrying on business in partnership with a person named Davis. He took his own passage in a ship called the Jane Duchess of' Gordon, which was lost, and in which he unfortunately perished. Be fore his fate was known, the bills reached the hands of Mr. Card, who had been 'accustomed to act for him under a _power of attorney, ana who then kept cash with Barclay and Co., at his bankers. Mr. Card took on himself to endorse the bills to Barclay and Co., " by procuration- se Mr. Hope," in order that they might obtain payment from the Company when the bills . should become due, but without receiving from them any value. Messrs. Barclay and Company, in their turn, endorsed the bills, which, with these endorsements, were presented to the Company for payment; and the Com pany, finding that Mr. Card had a power of attorney, which they conceived gave him authority to endorse as Mr. Hope's *pm, paid the bills; and Mr. Card received the amount for which they were drawn. After the proceeds had thus passed into the hands of Mr. Card, who, with his partner, subsequently became insolvent, news was received of the mis fortune which terminated Mr. Hope's life. His next of kin, Mr. James Murray, obtained administration of his estate and effects, and demanded of the East India Company payment of the bills, on the ground that Mr. Card had no authority to endorse them, and that therefore the payment made to Mr. Card's endorsees was made by the Company in their own wrong. The administrator enforced this claim by action, and ultimately succeeded, on the ground that Mr Ciird had exceeded his authority, and therefore the Company were still liable to pay the amount of the Mi. Upon this de cision, the Company paid the hills over again to Mr. Murray, and sought by the present action to obtain repayment from Barclay and Co, who, they contended, had, by endorsing the bills given such sanction to the act of Mr. C ar d as rendered them liable fbr its results. The LORD CHIEF J USTICE left two questions of fact to the jury ; first, whether the East India Company were induced to pay the bills by the defendants' endorsement, or by the en dorsement of Mr. Card, and the power of attorney under which he professedly acted ; and secondly, whether the defendants had any interest in the bills, or were merely the agents for Mr. Card in the transaction. On this direction, the jury found—first, that the Company did not pay the bills on the faith of the endorseMent of the de fendants ; and secondly, that the defendants were merely agents, and had no property in the bills, or interest in their proceeds. It was agreed that the finding should be taken as a special verdict, the legal erect of which may be solemnly determined by the Court. SAUNDERS V. PARE. This was an action on the case, brought by the owner of a fishing smack, called 'the Princess of Wurtembcw, against the Pilot of the East' India Company's ship the Berwickshire, to recover compensation for the injury done to the smack by the negligence of the defendant. It appeared in evidence on the part of the plaintiff; that on the morning of the Ist of January, 11122,his smack, which was bound for London with acargo of live cod, was lying at anchor in a reach of the river Thames, called the Lower Hope, which is a usual place of anchorage. At this time, the day being perfectly calm, the Berwickshire wasdroppingdown the river with the tide, stern foremost, her sails set, but with no windtofill them. The crew of the smack,whichlay nearly in tile middle of theriver, called out to the Berwickshire to drop anchor; but that vessel continued its course, and ultimately came in contact with the smack, and occa. stoned d arnage, which was esti rn at et! (by consent) at SOL The wit. nesses for the plaintiff represented that a vessel dropping down the river with the tide, in a calm, is entirely unmanageable ex. cept by dropping the anchor; th a t, h a d this me asure b een adopted, the accident would not have happened ; that the crew of the smack could have adopted no better means than they took to guard against the danger b roug h t on t h em by the perseve ranee of the Berwickshire in her course ; and that there was ample room for the Indiaman to pass on either side of the smack without incurring any chance of injury. Mr. linov GIIA 31 addre sse d t h e j ury for the defendant. He contended that the crew of the smack had no business to anchor in the middle of the channel, and expect great ves sels to sail round them : it was aa if a donky cart should be posted in the middle of the road, stock still, and the York wag gon, with its eight horses, be compelled to take a circuit round n.--4 A laugh.)—He would show that there was not room for the Berwickshire to pass, in deep water, on either side, in come quence of the fiats extending into the bed of the river; that the crew of the smack were not on deck when that ship came in sight; and that the accident really arose from the Captain altering the position of the helm, in contradiction to the directions given by the pilot, who did all he could to prevent the injury. The Learned Counsel called witnesses to sustain all the parts of this case. The Lonn CII/EV Jus.rict, after observing that, in point of law, a smack or any oth er vesse l h a d a right to anchor i n any part of the river, left the Jury to t iudge from whose negli gence the accident . rose.

DRURY-LANE THEATRLCAL FUND. On Saturday the Anniversary of this charity was celebrated at the Freemasons' Tavern, in a very splendid manner. All the galleries of the ball, in which the company to the number of 270 dined, were crowded with Ladies in full dret. At halfpast six o'clock. the Marquis of Hereford en tered the room, accompanied by Lord Fife, Sir John Doyle, Mr. Ca'craft, Mr. Kean, Alderman Cox, and several other Gentlemen. It was then announced by the Marquis of Hert ford that his Royal Highness the Duke of York was unable to take the chair, in consequence of the opinion of his physicians, that he should for some time abstain from participating in con vivialities. The Marquis of HE KT roll n was then called to the Chair. After the healthy of the King, the Duke of York, and the Duke of Clarence, had been drank, and appropriate glees exe. cuted in a very brilliant manner, the " health of Aid Marquis of Hertford" was proposed by Mr. CALCRAFT, who stated that their Noble. Chairman was distinguished for the promptness and liberality with which he relieved all cases of theatrical distress submi►ted to his examina tion. The company showed their sense of this fact by cheering the the toast for a length of time. The Noble Cum ttarari„in returning thanks, said that he had been called unexpectedly to be a first-rate performer in the charitable drama about to be acted in that room, and he hoped that the ardour of his feelings, and the anxiety which he felt upon making so aspiring an att em pt, wou ld not operate to his prejudice in this first-rate character. Ile knew, in deed, that he could place every reliance upon the indulgence of the enlightened audience around him, and he shoUld there fore proceed in the performance without any further preface.— ( A pplau se.) The next toast was—" The Drury-lane Theatrical Fund, and its worthy master, Mr. Kean," who, Mr. Calcraft declared, was not only the present prop of Drury lane Theatre, but was actually the cause of its present existence. Mr. KEAN returned thanks. lie had, he laid, for the sixth time, to offer the thanks ofthe Directorsof the institution; and the grateful claimants upon it, to that ,generous public who were ever ready to afford to " houseless heads and unfed sides" shelter and protection. The fund had, under the protection of the Duke of York, amassed a capital of 10,136/., which not only enabled the Directors to secure the necessaries oflife for ten helpless brethren, but left a surplus of 2001. a-year, which could be applied to their comforts. ThisCwas acting in conformity with the wishes of the immortal founder, Mr. Garrick, whose name would endure in the histrionic art, while_the foundation of the fund raised an eter nal monument to his benevolence. Mr. Kean concluded by an allusion to the family of the deceased promptor at Drury-lane, and appealed for them to the public, with a feeling which did great honour to him, and Was enthusiastically applauded. lie then announced the subscriptions, amongst which were the following Majesty, 100 guineas ; the Duke of York, 50 guineas; the Marquis of Hertford 50 pounds, &c. The health of the Vice-P res id en t was then drank. Lord FIFE observed, that a greater extent of professional knowledge was never displayed than at present exhibited itself in the Drury-lane company. Mr. CALCHAFT then Faye the health of Mr. Elliston, who was, he said, prevented from being present by illness. No one would go farther to promote the objects of Oe institution.' In fact, Mr. Elliston had done his utmost for the establishment. The applause that attended this, and a very, warm panegyric upon the manager of Dtury, was of the most sober description. The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of Mr. Calcraft. Mr. CAM:RAFT, in returning thanks, described the flourish. ing condition of the theatre, which enjoyed a degree of success altogether unparalleled. A — prize cup was then presented to Mr. Welch by the Gen tlemen of the Amateur Glee Club, fur the glee called, " The Death and Renovation of Bacchus," which they consid er ed th e most splendid composition within he last ten years. The company then were delighted with some excellent songs from Miss Povey and Miss Forde, who sat in the gallery, and with the uncommonly brilliant execution and fine voice of a toy named Edmonds, a pupil of Mr. T. Cooke. • ,0 Mr. Braham, Mr. T. Cooke, and Mr. Webb, also contd.. buted much to the evening's entertainment. Upwards of 1,1004 were subscribed. ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS. The Anniversary Dinner of this institution took place on Saturday last at the Argyll Rooms, at. six o'clock. Earl PonTrscur took the Chair, in consequence of the sudden indisposition of the Earl of DEnar. Upwards of two hundred Gentleman sat down to a most ex cellent dinner, provided by Wand, of Bond.street. The boxes were filled with " England's matchless beauty." No thing could surpass the splendour of the scene; the !looms being so elegant and brilliantly lighted, reminded us of the banquets read of in the Arabian Nights. A list of the toasts, together with the words of the glees, & e . which were performA had been prepared anti distributed about the room—a very commendable thing done by the.fitewards. When the cloth was removed, Non Nobis Dontinc, w sung in a most sublime manner ; then followed the toast or "Me King," and our fine National Anthem was exquisitely per formed, accompanied on wind instruments. We shall not fol low the toasts, &.c. &c. regularly, but merely state, 'that the fine glees of Come, jiiirest Nymph—ATTWOOD's Rise to the Buttle—W.

Mr. D. concluded a very feeling ad dress, .by quoting our immortal Bard's definition of mercy, which, he said, might be, with great propriety, applied to LOlit FORTESCUE (who laboured under a severe cold), as sured the company, that the welfare of the Society was dear to his heart, and that he would, at all times, do his utmost to pro mote it. Mr.AwEs rose to propose the health of the Royal and Noble Vice-Presidents; and, in doing so, he touched on the great claims which have lately come on the Society's funds.— ' A dark cloud hangs over us at this moment," said he, " and l fear that the Governors will be under the painful necessity of reducing the allowance to the claimants, which would be a melancholy proceeding, or draw on the funded property of the Society, which would be a ruinous alternative. But the cloud will pass over ; yes, your bounty will disperse it, and the aged musician, the widow and the orphan, will invoke blessings on their excellent benefactors." A Gentleman rose in the body of the room and said that he was a life subscriber ; but before he could give further aid, he wished to see a statement of the accounts, a regular debtor and creditor in black and white. He was informed that the Socie ty's books were always open for his inspection, but at such a meeting as the present to enter into long details of accounts would only interrupt the harmony of the day. This did not satisfy him. He persisted in addressing the Chair, to the great annoyance of the company, particularly the Ladies. But this discordant scene lual its effect, for it rendered Master SlTlTieti song of Allan ri'dter doubly sweet, and C. TAvi.orem Good old Days If Adam and Eve restored harmony and good humour. Mr. Moat performed a polonaire on the violin, in a manner that drew down universal applause. He was assisted by Messrs. F. (NA NITA, PlO QT, SHERRINGTON, CALKIN, and NEATIL, who kindly volunteered their services at a moment's notice. Mr. MoscnELLES was to have performed a'Fantasia on the Pianoforte, but he was taken very unwell, and confined to his bed. Ile sent a very handsodie apology. The Military Band, under the direction of KnAstEt and Mr. WILLMAN, performed HAYDN ' and WIN T les (hand Marches, composed for th e S oc i e ty b those eminent authors, in a most effective s t yle. B isHor ' s beautiful Glee of" Fo resters sound the theesful horn," was loudly encored. Cot- Lvtn sung Panitv's song of Sweet Home,' in a very chaste manner. Several donations were given, and many life and annual sub scribers were obtained. We were particularly pleased to hear, among the life subscribers, the name of our beautiful warbler, Miss STFPILENS. Doctor NtCIIOLAS, Chaplain of the Society, on his health being - drank, returned thanks in a very humoumus speech, whielt was particularly complimentary to the Ladies, for the Learned Gentleman " That men were nothing without the women." lie `touched upon, ancient Greece, and then con cluded by making a strong appeal to the company in behalf of the Society. 1 It! A N D. On Tuesday a Meeting OfCatitolic Gentlemen was held at No. 4, Capel-strees, for the purpose of forming the deputation to present the Address to his Majesty, .pursuant to a resolution entered into at the Aggregate Meeting, held ht Townsend-street Chapel, on Saturday, arid for the purpose of forming a Committee, to make such arrangement i as tnigbt be deemed necessary, relative to the Catholic Association. At half-past three o'clock, Lord Killeen was called to the Chair, and eleven Gentlemen were then named on the Com mittee. Mr. O'CONNELL proposed that the deputation be formed of Catholic Peers, and the sons of Peers, Baronets, the sons of Baronets, and a considerable number of Gentle:inert: Mr. ENEAS M‘DONI4£I.I. felt perfectly satisfied that he would have the concurrence of every Gentlexuan in the room, and every Catholic in Ireland, to the amendment he would stag: gest. lie entirely approved of the order in which it was pro: posed to form the deputation. The appointment of the Peers was almost of course, but there was one Peer whom he con: sidered entitled to a more particular and prominent distinction. lie was sure it was scarcely necessary to add, that the Noble: man to whom he alluded was the Earl of Fingall.--`hear !) Lord KILLE EDr assured the meeting, that the Noble Lord alluded to would be proudly sensible of the kindness of his countrymen in recollecting hirn thus favourably, in his absence which he could assure the meeting was most sinc;:rely regretted by himself. Mr. O'CoNsEt.t. proposed the resolution pursuant to the amendment, that the deputation consist of the Right Hon. the Earl of Fingall, attended by the Catholic Peers, sons of Peers, Baronets, sons of Baronets, and several Gentlemen. The Resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Sir Elm Ann BELLEW was then called to the Chair, when the thanks of the Meeting were voted to Lord Killeen. The Meeting adjourned to Saturday at two o'clock. At length we find the disorders in the South have somewhat abated. The last provincial papers received from that quarter are not disfigured with enumerating a long catalogue of dis graceful outrages, and the few that are presented do not exhibit any peculiar features of atrocity, or different from what may be expected to occur among a dense population, suffering under the extremes of misery and wretchedness from the want of suffi cient employment. Still there is no doubt but an active spirit for rapine and mischief pervades th e m ass of the peasantry, which re quires the most unceasing vigilance to counteract, and the pre sent seeming calm may be only a breathing time, preparatory to the renewal of the usual scenes of burning and burglaries. The effixt of the recent outrages in that quarter has been, to drive many of the country Gentlemen into the towns for protection, or else to have their houses guarded by parties of the tary or police. . To oblige them to take this course, and get possession of the open country, seemed to have been one of the principal objects of those engaged in this unprincipled insurrection. The Police, under the lute Constabulary Act, are now in most places fully embodied, and perhaps much of the present quiet is owing to their efficiency. 'The shortness of the nights, by precluding the marauders from being shrouded in darkness, has also no doubt contrib ute d to check their mid. night attacks. We trust the present repose will continue ; but unless some efficient 'measures arc taken before next winter, we must expect a recurrence of the same disgraceful inroads upon domestic peace and security.—( Dublin Correspondent, May 15.)
