assurances of a succession of able and eminent speakers, all of whom concurred in rejecting every thought but of Christian charity from their recommendation of the cause which they advocated, and in urging the claims of these poor foreigners upon the national bounty, by considerations which would make their way to the bosoms of all ranks of Englishmen. It was ascertained that the number of the exiles needing sustenance had been reduced from 1,200 souls to 300, men, women, and children included; that with unexampled delicacy and honour they had invariably with drawn themselves from the list when even a shadow of any means of support, by the labour of their own Lands or intellect, had been presented to them ; and that their af fectionate kindness towards each other, by sharing the most scanty morsel of bread, or the thinnest shred of garment, with those whose necessities were more urgent than their own, could never be c ontemplated without profound emotion. The exhortations addressed to the public mind, not of the metropolis only, but of every great commu nity throughout England, by the Lord Mayor, and the elo quent speakers who succeeded him, will, we are satisfied, produce the most beneficial effects upon the subscription. To supply the poor exiles, most of them families of rank, with any thing like an approach to decent comfort; will require a sum of about 14,000/. per annum. The sub scription now begins to hid fair to be munificent, and God grant it may go on and prosper ! The Concert at Guild hall, already adverted to in the Times, will, we trust„ be fixed immediately for no distant evening, and its abundant proceeds carried over to the general fund. fhe amount of the subscription up to last night appears to be about 2,700/. Times. A publication entitled " A Letter to Dr. Philpotts," but being in point of dimensions rather a long pamphlet, upon the almost forgotten subject of the Coronation Oath, appears in the Dublin Evening Post of last Saturday, with those initials, viz. I. K. L., by way of signature, under which Dr. Doyle, the Catholic Bishop, used to put forth his printed sentiments some three or four years ago. There is no doubt of the present letter being the production of this subtle and dexterous polemic, and as little that it bears not at all upon those arguments connected with the Catholic question, which now, in the contemplation of most Protestants and Catholics, are of any importance to the suceeae of it. We indeed have no objection to see a by-battle between two such prize-fighters, whether for their settlement of an old grudge, or of a dis puted championship, since it may leave them the less op portunity to mix in the main body of the political discus sion, and so to disturb their more peaceable and single minded neighbours. The Coronation Oath has been thrown away as unserviceable by all men of decent understanding amongst the anti-Catholics, with Lord Liverpool at the heed of them; but if it still answers the - Rev. Drs. Phil potts and Doyle, as a stick wherewith they. may alter nately thrash each other, the rest of the world will have an easier time of it—that's all. The more modern and far more interesting shape of the question is this :—Shall ire pass Emancipation with se curities (as they are called) or without thein ? . The great bulk of the people of Eng land are absolute in their demand of securities, through come form or. other of positive or implied stipula tion. The Irish, or time who take upon themselves to represent the Irish Catholics, as Mr. Eneas Mac ilonnell here, and Mr. Lawless' on the other side the water, kick furiously at any sort - of - emancipation but such as the people of this country regard in the light. of a sur render at discretion. • We are , willing to acknowledge, and we have done so inforcnerinsoassee; that the incorporation of our Catludielarbrethrenswith.,the htate has ever ap peared to us the,bea* .of, all .possarlessecueitiee. - Without it there can be no other ; aud with it, as the thing presents itself to us, no other security need he. But it is too much to say that the British nation shall not have a yoke upon a subject which co nearly toucher their own views of their own national welisheing. , Ile who is called upon to give up a share of that pniesea which he has enjoyed without a partner fdt 140 year 4, may I..!ontend without much arro gance for some stipulation - that • the privileges which be grants shall not be made an instrument for wresting from him more than is now demanded: It is true Oat he may be mistaken in overlooking the tendency of the very boon which heconcedes„ to proteet him against further con- . esaataions, and we think that in this case pur gountrym en are so =sled- His prejudice has nevertheless a claim to conside ration, and ought : to be indulged so fur as is consistent with the substanae and principle of the meditated change, much for justice. And now, since prudence is. worth something, we must add, that if the Irish Catholics are wise, they will let the business of securities pass with as lath , disturbance as may be. 'the F.pglisli Catholics, through their noblest organ, have declared, that what ever might be their wish, their determination is to v etyt political liberty on " terms," if they can no other wise obtain it: the meaning of . whieli sensible, declara tion is, that without. some security, pr semblance of security, they despair we getting,aceess to the Constitution. In our last number ridichled the` notion of estWies rejecting any addition to their present limited rights which Parliament might deem it just to grant them. Nothing, in fact, can be snore foolish than mach pledges, which those who offer them would be the first to iiplate. But we are aware of the difficultiea which embarrass an 4...asociator in the present isitlamed spirit of the Irish people. If Catholic leader shmild now attempt to ,quench the fire which Itivaself had raised,- touot his followers on ; rnilk-and-water diet, instead of continuing to dose them with whisky,—to fewer the tone of the popular temperament by aq.dressing the multitude like a man of business, instead of working up their passions by boastful and presumptuous harangues-- be might have tzars about the loss of his influence, and the forfeiture of a position which some more headlong rival would speedily seize on the expulsion of its former tenant. We do not, therefore, regard the oatensible promises or threats of the Cathol i c leaders in Ireland as the index of their personal opissLons, but merely as the osasure of that level to which the feehogs of the general hotly isioae been raised, and to which he wig) has the vulgar ambition , prolonging a worthless and fiii,i4ve popularity, fancies that he is hound to conform. We do nut believe that Mr. O'Connell had any serious intentios; a few days ago of separating the Irish Catholics from thei' English allies here, on pretence of the puke of Norfolk's moie, 7 4-• Lion. It would be monstrous to eoppose it : as if men em barked in one general cause had not es; s their several right to independent opinions ; or as if there we pot a corns mon enemy eager to profit by the first appearaw. of dis cord among brethren in distcess. So, with respee to berets, it is not our belief that the more discerning of the s Catiodies can be sitse,ere in the violence: of their language Upon that subordinate qneation. The political prerogatives of certain classes of their priesthood have no concaaral ap parently with the essence of the Catholic faith—with ti - east. part of religio n in which consists the feeling entertained by man of the relation in which he stands towards his Creator. Vs e say nothin g of the religion of the Catholics .—thotigh if heing Prot...estants, we, of course, prefer our Oai ; but , any portion of what is called their " church gooseesinent, and still more if such a feature in it as may b e peetaur to Ireland, when compared w i t h o th er coun tries, slutaii.4l appear to the su preme power of the empire to threaten the Government of the State itself, it wards' be difficult to ? Ar m , that such a temporal o r . po li t i ca l branch of Irish Popery 'cart never, in any case, b e made h? 1 another 1 take the subject of legislative ta."%ntroul.

As a tolerable proof that the Letts of the Dublin As_ sociation have no real wish to see what they call Catholic Emancipation granted, we may instance dieie r:ecent.en deavour to disclaim the mor e m od e rate and practical ::;,.roes of the British Catholics, who, with the Duke of Norfolk at their head, are ready to accept the boon tinder such rea sonable securities as may be deemed wassail, No sooner, however, does Mr. O'Connell see a chaurp pi the professed object being thus arconiplished, than he tsices especial care to make known that h e has no idea of ending the suit upon such terms. Like a true lawyer, he . appears to dread the end of litigation ; and though his clients (at least such of them as have the power of judging cc.: the , m , - selvee) are anxious to come to a compromise , t he very tasx! that “ Othello's occupation" would then terminate fills the Learned Barrister with dismay, and he threatens to spend the last drop of his blood in the field or on thescaffold (not, however, in single combat) rather than Eniancipzitio. shall take effect even upon the terms which he himself oat y three years ago, solemnly and deliberately suggested. It would be a 'waste of words to talk of the sincerity and con sisteoey of people who thu s , cantede s on-like, can change as chanae as often as it !nits them.- This last aVow4. of the Learned Gentleman gives the Duk e o f W e lli ng t on a Ca.:a- oppor tunity of placing him and his followers more in the Weat e - ez, if it be possible, even than. they have already placed ' themselves. The Duke, it is said, is a4ZiOIIS to set the question at rest. He learns, from the MOS,' respectable ae ree of the English Cathol ics, that they are willing to to reasonable securities. Nell, then, let those securi ties". he defined. Let Emancipation be granted upon the terms thus chalked out. Let those accept it who choose, and Let the world see how many will stand_ out by the side :1.4 . the Learned A dvocate an d par,..t—, of the Wings. IJaviog satisfied the reasonable part of the Catholic body, the rest will heput so decidedly in the wrong that ell the clamour and chicaneyy of interested bawlers wall mo; cease to be able to keep togethee a clan sufficiently large to inaintain their own importance. Another result will be that the poor deluded creatures, from wh:,::e Aender means the Rent la now wrung, would he disabused ani a:Pe Aeceired. Seeing the most respectable and independent Fart of the Catholic body a s liefied with what Parlia meat will have done, or proposed to do, for them, they will learn to keep their money in their pockets, and no longer furnish the means of feeding hungry lawyers and greedy declaimers. " But," says Mr. O'Con nell, " the Pope has been applied to, and has de clared that he will give his assent to no securities." So much the better, we say. . We are glad to see his Holi ness brought upon the stage ; for we have again and again been told that he was in no way a party in the question, and was, in fact, both a spiritual and temporal non-entity. Now, if the Pope denies us security, that is the best proof in the world that it is indispensably necessary. Concor dats have been granted to other Protestant States, where arrangements with the Catholics have made them neces sary ; and to deny similar arrangements to the British Government is to show the cloven foot in a way which cannot he misunderstood. If the fact be as Mr. O'Con nell states, then he has furnished the strongest argument against himself; if otherwise, as we suspect the truth to he, then he is the veriest Marplot who ever ventured on intrigue.—Morning Herald. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named Green alias While, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having lurked about the premises of Mr. Brown, of Basinghall-street, with intent to rob. The prisoner, it appeared, had called at the ware house in the morning,. and asked. for a person who did not reside there. He soon afterwards called again, and asked for another; and in the evening, when it was dark, he was seen in a small court close to the premises, which court was not a thoroughfare. The prisoner denied that he had called at the pre mises in the morning, and stated that Firs object in appearing in the evening was far from being a dis honest one. The LORD MAYOR asked him what trade or pro fession he belonged to? He replied, that he had officiated as steward in a merchant vessel, and sailed to Peru; and that he had seen a great deal of the world. The LottD MAYOR said, that in all probability he had stopped for a while in Van Dieman's Land. The prisoner seemed rather annoyed at this sup position. He was not, he said, aware that he had touched at that quarter. The LORD MAYott—Think for a while; I think you touched at Botany Bay (a laugh.) Prisoner— Botany Bay ! Oh dear, no ! I don't think it possi ble—( laughter.) The Loitp MAYOR--I think you'll find I'm right. Pray, is not your name White ?—Prisoner (affrighted)—White ! No, my Lord ; I should think not. Mr. Brown said, he now perfectly recollected the prisoner, whose name was White, and whose father was transported some time ago, for robbery. The Prisoner—My name is Green. I never was called White; and if my father was transported, I know nothing about it. I don't think any thing of the kind happened to me.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR thought the ease was one which would warrant him in committing the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond. It was evident that, from the circumstance of his inquiring in the morning, and lurking about in the evening, and adopting a wrong name, that his intention was to commit felony. Mr. Brown raid, that !eventl warehouses in the neighbourhood had been robbed of cloth. Mr. Holder said, his Lordship was perfectly war ranted in committing the prisoner. The prisoner begged that the Lord Mayor would look at the words of the Act, which be considered did uot include his case. He then pointed out a passage which, be believed, placed him out of the operation of the Act, His LORDSHIP, however, con victed and fentenced him to three months! imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. A Paddington coachman was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having committed a most outrageous assault upon a gentleman. _ The complainant appeared in the Justice-room, with the blood streaming from his head and face, and told the 4,rd Mayor, that - he had been just assaulted by a coachman in the most cruel mid wanton manner. As he was riding along, the coachman struck his horse with a whip, upon which he turned about, and Tgproached the fellow for having done what might have Foyed a most dangerous thing. The coach man instantiy Ilruck him with the handle of the whip about the head. The complainant had, in the first instance, applied for a summons; but The Lolly MAYOR immediately granted a war 7hich was forthwith executtlt:. As soon as the coacin saw the complainant,he dropped down upon his knees, a:4 begged forgiveness, in conside ration of his wife and six children. This the com plainant appeared willing to grant; but The Loltp MAYOR said, he could not allow any thing of the kind, To permit violence of so aggra vated a nature to pass with impunity, would be an act of great injustice to the public. The defendant was then, in default of bail, com mitted to prison. GUILDHALL. A por Scotch woman, named Mar area Johns ton, who hail been detected in attempting to smuggle half a gallon of gin ilto Whitecross prison, was brought before Mr. Alderman W4YrnataN yesterday, o be dealt with according to law. F r Av,s had her son with her when placed at the bar, a boy of ei,V;t or nine years old ; and, whilst the evi dence was taking il c wn, she was alternately clasping her son in her arms, not. Piing upon her knees ; whilst they both wept together Ego loud that what the witnesses said could scarcely be lieud, The offence haviog been proved, she again sunk upon her knees, and cried mood for mercy ; at the same time handing in a written paper, in which she stated that si2 : , rts the wife of a journey - caap baker, who had deserted k.er, and his son in Scotland, cTid was.now in the employ of master baker in Thames-street; that she and the boy bad begged their ‘aay up from Scotland, and arrived in Loadon about six weeks ago in search of the run-away husband and father; but that he would do nothing for them, arid they had in consquence subsisted entirely by begging during the six weeks they had been here, without a home or shelter of any Jc;nd, and sometimes without food for two days together. The memorial stated • farther, that she had been tempted to do what she had done, by the cries of her child for food; that she did not know that she was doing any thing against the law; and, finally, it besought the Magistrate to " have mercy on a puir heart-broken, starving, and dist;•eeted creature." Mr. AZdeTman Wan-Hams asked Mr. Barrett, the governor of the prison, whether he thought her statement was true ; and be replied that, having al , ..ide some inqui r y, h e h a d reascu t .; believe it %vas true . He then made some communication w the Magistrate privately; upon which, Mr. Alderman Waithman askew; the prisoner by whom she had been employed to carry itig gin into the prison ' • and sshy.w.*;.wered that she h a d been ar;ailoyeil by aMrs.. t;. Clarke. M r , Aldertmn WAITtIMAN convicted the prisoner in the m itigated penartyr of 101. Of course she was was sentenced, in ,to one month's i m prisonment in Rridewell— y a nything; and v,b,,, n der nab , l l e t to pa}' wymission to have her boy w i t h h er vaene e was afterwards comm ute d to f our , which ' teen days, in prison. NOTE.—It is a fact well known to the authorities, tii debtors within the prison are a; leagu e with publicans And sinners outside, to procure and : orn like this poor Scotchwornan, poor destitute metures, to secrete and carry in sprits; who, if they succe e d in carrying it in undiscovered, receive some triflin g ,remuneration ; and if they fail, they are 1ei....; to the law —which only punishes the ignorant instrument, ,-..14 lets go by the' cunning and practised suborner. Mr. James Goulder, a ; lady's shoemaker, or, tech nically, a latly's man, was eharg,ed w,it.if bring as saulted his wife, Maria. Mrs. Maria Goulder stated her own ease. ,Ske had been married to Mr. Goulder Mice months, she said; and though they " had a few s.quahbles now and then," yet they "got on pretty well consider ing,' wisp last Sunday; when she " happened to over-boil the potatoes," and that " put an end to every thing," and superinduced the assault in ques tion. On that day Mr. G. had invited a friend of his to dinner upon pickled pork and potatoes. The pork being nearly done, Mrs. G. " popp'd the po tatoes into the pot," and went out to get the beer; and in less than ten minutes she returned; but when she " peep'd Lao the pot," the potatoes were " all boiled to mash—quite squashy !" Mr. G. was so angry at this, that he not only refused to eat the potatoes, but " he set his face against the pickled pork also," and would not touch a morsel of it— though Mrs. Goulder " did all she could to get him to ir." Consequently they had a very un comfortable dinner. time ; for though Mrs. G. " did not care twopence for the over-boiling of the pota toes, so she could but sit down and make a hearty meal,"—yet Mr. G. would not be quiet; but "kept harping upon the potatoes" on purpose to " wex her." He would mot even sit in his place at table,- but " sulked in the corner by the fire-place ;" and when she went to sweep up the hearth after dinner, " his fingers itched to be at her so" that at last he gave her " a soft tap with the tip of 'em " upon the back of her neck ; and because she asked him " what that was for," he turn'd to and gave her " a hard thump on the mouth." Mrs. Goulder took the hard thump as quietly as she had taken the soft MP; but nevertheless " he kept up his sulks till bed-time," when he told her, " if she " dared to come to bed to him, he would knock her brains out !" And, of course, as she was not going to have her brains knocked out for overboiling a quarter of a peck of kidney potatoes, she put on her bonnet, and left the house altogether; and she had never seen her angry lord and master since, until now she met him before the Magistrate. Mr. G., in his defence, admitted that he did feel much vexed at the overboiling of the potatoes—but he declared that Mrs. G. had mis-stated the fact; for, instead of her having been away ten minutes, she was away more than "a good half hour ;" and he, therefore, did give her "a bit of a tap" on the neck—not so much for her neglect, as for " her im pudence in making light of it." He added that, "it was of no use talking," for they were " al - ways at cross purposes lately," because he would not allow her to attend dancing-rooms, as she used to do be fore he married her. The MAGISTRATE said, " I am surprised you do not like your wife to dance ! Don't you know that dancing is deemed an accomplishment in young ladies ?" Mr. G. shook his head ; but made no reply. Mrs. G., in her replication, admitted that, "being a young woman what goes out a cotton-winding," she was, whilst a spinster, much addicted to danc ing; but she declared that she had no wish for any thing of that sort now she was a wife; and her only object this prosecution was "to have Mr. G. bound down to keep his hands off." And the MAGisTRATE, having in vain endeavoured to reconcile them without his interference, ordered Mr. G. to enter into his own recognizance to keep the peace. Maw.'l'lll6 MATTON-GARDEN. Willia»z Appleby, the sham Master in Chancery; who was charged with defrauding several - persons of sums of money, was yesterday again brought before tfie Magistrate. No fresh evidence was adduced, and the prisoner was committed for trial. MARYLEBONE. FIRE-ENGlNES.—Yesterday Mr. Williams, of Stafford -street, New-road, was summoned to pay the legal fees to the fire-engines, for extinguishing a lire in his chimney. A lad, who described himself, on. his cross-examination, as getting his living "any how he could," deposed that he saw a large crowd collected in the street, and a great blaze out of the chimney-pot of No. 6. Mr. Williams was about to speak, when Mr. GRIFFITHS interrupted him with—Sir, the case is proved—there's an end of the business. Mr. Williams—The witness has proved rather too much ; I will prove that, so far from a blaze, there was no tire at all. I was in the house, and, if I could be sworn, would depose to the fact. Mr. GRIFFITIIS—YOU can't prove a negative. Mr. Williams—Not an abstract negative, but I can disprove a -contingent negative. I have my neighbours present to prove, that prior to the col lection of any crowd, at the first cry of fire, they had watched the chimney, being in positions from which they must have seen flame or sparks, had any such existed; they will depose that there were neither; that there was not even a greater degree of smoke than is every day seen from kitchen chimneys. Mr. GRIFFITHS—But the boy has sworn that there was a flame. Mr. Williams—lt is a contest of evidence, for the Magistrate to decide. The neighbourhood is most vile, and the boy can give no account of himself, but that he gets his living how he can. He should be cross-examined. The Act of Parliament, however wise, holds out an immense temptation to getting up these cases of fire. The reward to chimney sweepers, &c. makes the oath of sparks, seen out of a chimney, a most profitable job. Mr. GRIFFITHS—I have already decided the case, Sir, and will hear no more. Mr. W.—That is my complaint ; you have decided the case without hearing it. You have stopped me in the points I wished to put. You refuse my evidence. It is not for me to dispute a Magistrate's decision on hearing a case; but I insist, Sir, you do not decide without hearing it. Mr. GRIFFITHS—You may indict the boy for perjury. Mr. Williams—lt is not, Sir, fora Mag',i trate to amerce the public by an intemperate or in cautious decision, and then refer people to such an expensive and troublesome remedy. Your scrutiny and sagacity as a Magistrate will, I hope, as they • ought, prevent the necessity of any such indictment. Mr. tharTerns—Well, ° Sir, then bring forward your witnesses. Three persons, named Neale, Preston, and Mills, deposed on oath that they lived in the street, and watched the chimney on the first cry of " fire," prior to the point at which the boy said he saw the flame, and that there was not even a spark, or a greater smoke than they had often seen before. Mr. Williams—l was present all the time in the kitchen and on the roof, and can positively swear there was no fire. Many more neighbours can de pose to the same. M. GRIFFITHS—YOU can't prove a negative.— Mr. Williams—Four persons are watching the same object; one, under the influence of a high reward, deposes to seeing what the other three, being im partial, depose not to have seen, their opportunities. of seeing being equal. The conflict of testimony is the point for the Magistrate to decide. Mr. GRIFFITHS—Not one of your witnesses says any thing more than I could say sitting on this Beach. Mr. W., with warmtb,--That, Sir, I assert, in the strongest terms I can use, to be a gross error; an error too, on the only point on which th© ease turns. The witnesses swear that they were in a position from which they must have seen the fire had it existed. Could you have seen it from that bench Mr. GRiFFIT4S (with warmth)--I won't Sir, be crass-examined in this manner.. Mr. W.—By your decision, any man unaided by crosz.,emnination, and fearless of contradietory dence, has only to swear to a flame or sparks out of a chimney, arid the householder must pay about five ,pounds penalty. The inhabitants of London will be Much obliged to you for such a proceeding. appeal against the decision. Mr.Gutiqwits—You may, but I do not advise you. Mr. Williams—Few persons advise appeals by which their judgments are to be e*posed. Mr. GRIFFITHS, mildly—There will be an eXeCtl bon i,n your house if you don't pay it. Mr. Williams—Which ought to have made a Ma gistrate more cautious in his decision. The Act fixes a maximum and the Magistrate may award a sum. GmFvtrots—Onr rude is, to make gentiorio pay the maximum., and those not gentlemen to paY lesq. Mr. Williams—lt is not for me to decry the monstrous absurdity of this rule. The meaning of the Apt and the public interest do not turn upon gentlemen or not gentlemen. This rule is a lure to make gentlemen the victims of these fire impositions, so common in London. Promptitude of assistance is the object of the law, and, in this instance, the first engine (a hand-engine) did not arrive until some time after the pretended fire was acknowledged to be out. Mr. GRIFFITIIS—YoII MHSt pay the fine, or suffer the execution. SPANISH AND ITALIAN 11\EFUGEES. A public meeting was held yesterday at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of taking such measures as may appear desirable in or der to provide for the urgent necessities of the desti tute refugees of Spain and Italy. The meeting was numerous and highly respectable. Ae a little after two o'clock, the Lord Mayor entered the room. His Lordship was accompanied by Dr. Lushington, M.P., J. Hume, Esq., M.P., J. A. Hodson, Esq., M.P., the Hon. Douglas Kin naird, G. Byng, Esq., M.P., the Common Ser geant, Mr. Z. Macauley, H. Labouchere, Esq., M.P., General Sir John Doyle, J. Cape!, Esq., M.P., Mr. Bowring, Mr. Blades, Mr. Richard son, The LORD MAYOR having taken the chair, said the object of this meeting was purely charitable in its character. It originated in sympathy for the sufferings of a large and unfortunate class of fo reigners, who had been driven from their home and country, and from all those agreeable associations which constitute the endearments of civilized life, and cast upon our shores without friends or protec tors—destitute not only of funds for their future support, but without even the means .of present subsistence. The condition of the great mass of those unfortunate exiles was truly pitiable. To their own exertions here a great portion of them • could not look forward for aid with any prospect of success, for they were ignorant of our language. I Their only resource was in the humanity of the na tion amongst whom they had sought an asylum ; and he trusted that the result of that day's meeting would prove that they had not in vain confided in the hu mane and charitable feelings of Englishmen.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—lf those individuals in whose be• half he noW appealed to the meeting had sought re fuge on our shores from the consequences of any moral crime, he and those with whom he acted would at once have declined bringing their case be fore the public, as by that an example would be set which might operate prejudicially not only in the metropolis, but in the country generally. Theirs, however, was not a case involving any moral taint. ,They had been reduced to their present forlorn con dition by honourable and conscientious exertions to secure for themselves and their fellow -countrymen the advantages of a free government—blessings which we in this country enjoy in so eminent a de gree. (Hear, hear.) The meeting would recollect, that about four years ago a public meeting was called under the presidency of his Hon. Friend Alderman Garratt, at that time Chief Magistrate. At that meeting a subscription was commenced, which amounted in the whole to upwards of 20,000/. That would appear a large sum, but considerable as it was, it fell short of giving adequate relief to the very large body of unfortunate individuals who had claims upon it. It was, however, distributed with great discretion, and with a discrimination as to pro per objects, which reflected great honour on those who had gratuitously undertaken its management ; anti in the way in which it was applied, it served in a great degree to mitigate the pecuniary privations which it was not sufficiently, large wholly to remove. That fund was now exhausted, and the Committee found themselves at the commencement of winter without any means of administering to the wants of those who were still dependent, and whose suffer ings must of course be aggravated by the incle mency of the winter season. Under these circum stances, the Committee determined on making another appeal to the humane and charitable feelings of their fellow-countrymen ; and from what had already taken place since the subject was brought before the public, he rejoiced to think that the appeal would not be made in vain. (Hear, hear.) He was anxious before he sat down to correct a report which had gone abroad, and which contained a mis representation as to the actual numbers of. those who had claims on the charity of the public. It was said that the numbers of those who were now • dependent on the charity distributed by the Commit tee exceeded 1,000. This was a great error, and one calculated to injure the cause of those who ac tually were dependent, by creating a feeling of de spair of being able to make any effectual provision for the wants of so large a body. He had authority to state, that the actual number of those now de pendent on public charity did not exceed three hun dred. These, however, consisted for the greater part of those who were least competent to provide for themselves. Many of them were afflicted with disease and bodily infirmity, which rendered them utterly incapable of exertion; many were women and children ; and the whole were in that destitute state which required immediate exertion to prevent starvation from overtaking them. It afforded him great pleasure to be able to state, and it was highly honourable to the individuals concerned, that up- Welds of three hundred of those who were formerly dependent on the bounty distributed by the Com mittee, were now in a condition to provide for them selves ; and as soon as any of them had become so, not only did they decline to receive any assistance from the Committee, but most readily contributed, as far as their slender means would admit, to assist those amongst their fellow-countrymen who had not the good fortune to be able to procure means of subsistence by their own personal exertion. (Hear, hear.) This showed the high and gene rous feeling which always belonged to honour able minds, and it was but justice to those unfor tunate strangers to state, that the great majo rity of them were distinguished few such feeling. (Hear, bear.) It had been said by some that Government ought to support those individuals. — Upon this point also much misapprehension had gone abroad, but be was glad that he was able to give a satisfactory explanation on the subject. He would state that the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government had the strongest disposition to assist those unfortunate strangers; and he had evinced it not merely on one but on many occasions, public and private. He (the Lord Mayor) had had a communication from the Noble Duke on this sub ject, from which it appeared that in 1823, when the Spanish and Italian refugees in •this country exceed ed 1,000, and when their distress was so great as to attract the attention of Government, his Grace was instructed by Government to make a report as to the number of those who, from their services to England on the Continent, had claims on the public bounty. His Grace, to whom the services of most of those parties were known, and who possessed facilities for ascertaining the exact nature of the claims of all, did make a report, recommending, on account of such claims, a number amounting to 350 persons, besides women and children. For that number Government lad provided the means of support at an expense to the public purse of 18,001. a year; but his Grace felt compelled to declare that he could not recommend to his Majesty to extend the grant to any beyond that number. His Grace felt it extremely pai n f u l to b e obliged to draw the fine, for he wa s aware , t h at w h e re it was drawn, there misery w ou ld commence ' ; but be felt that it must be drawn some w h ere , f or i t was impossible to sup pose that the recommendations • could be indiscri minate. The Noble Puke had, however, done enough to ev i nce t h at h e w as strongly dis posed to give the m ev ery assistance in his power, and this w as ev i nce d not on ly by hi s p u bli c con duct, but by many acts of private benevolence. — It hardly necessary for him to state that the appeal now made to public charity was not for those wh° were receiving • the bounty of Government. — The Committee solicited the aid of the benevolent for those whom Government could not assist con sistent with the principle it had laid down ; and he (the Lord Mayor) felt the greater confidence in sup porting the appeal, from a conviction that what ever funds might be placed at the disposal of the Committee would be most judiciously applied. It was'extremely gratifying to him to be able to state, that though up to the present day the Committee had not publicly advertised for subscriptions, yet, through the ardent and powerful advocacy of the public press, a sum of 2,000/. had already been placed at their disposal. This showed the very ge. serous feeling entertained towards those distressed foreigners from one end of the country to the other, and he had little doubt that the call Now made, aided, - as no doubt it would be, by the powerful support of the press, would be answered in a man ner which would afford, the means of future support for the distressed refugees, and render any further application to the public on their behalf unnessary. —(Hear, hear.) The Hon. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD then came for ward to move the first resolution. The public were called upon to assist those whom Government would assist if it could.—(Hear, hear.)—The very judicious manner in which the Committee had ap plied the funds heretofore placed at its disposal, was another ground of a confident appeal to the liberality of the public. Those funds had been so applied, that there were now left only 300 claimants. Out of the 1,500 at first thrown on the public sym pathy, there were, besides those for whom Govern ment had provided, upwards of 700 who had been so far assisted, as to be enabled to return again to active life, and to be no longer a burden on the funds subscribed. After warmly eulogising the diligent and persevering exertions of the Committee, he concluded by moving the first resolution—" That the absolutely destitute condition of a large number of the Span►sh and Italian refugees, who were driven to seek an asylum in this country, gave them a claim to the continued support of the benevolent." Mr. J. BLADES said that he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. The motion was then put, and carried unani mously. The CoMMON SERGEANT, 41 moving the second resolution, expressed great pleasure in being called on to take a part in so excellent a work. (Hear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to observe that the British public did not seem to be aware of the power it had of doing good. The force of example on occasions like the present, where a great object of public charity or benevolence was to be achieved, was of the utmost importance as stimulating to similar exertion. He remembered that when a few years ago the notion of a London University was started, there appeared but a very slight prospect of having so great a national work so soon realised, but now that University was in so flourishing a condition, that he might publicly allude to it. That had given rise to the notion of 'mother learned establishment, arid when the two should be in active operation, they would be the means of en tailing lasting benefits on the country by the facilities they would afford to its youth of the best instruction from the best sources. As he had mentioned the London University, he might add, that on one occasion that he had attended he had heard one of the best dis courses to which he had ever listened delivered by a Spaniard, a refugee. When he recollected the high station which that individual had filled in his own country, from which he had been driven for no moral crime to seek an asylum here, he could not but contrast it with that to which he was now, he would not say sunk, for his present station was highly honourable, but reduced. But he noticed the circumstances not so much for the purpose of marking the change of condition which so many noble and highly-gifted men had undergone, but to point out that there were many others among those now pining on the verge of starvation, who might, by a little exertion of public benevolence, he placed in situations where their services might be rendered equally useful to themselves, and beneficial to the country. (Hear, hear.) The great example which the metropolis had set on this occasion would, be trusted, not be lost on the towns of the kingdom. Of all the characteristics which distinguish this great city, there was none of which it had more cause to be proud than that of its numerous and well-supported charities. Its great and princely hospitalities would do little to distinguish it from other cities, or rather would derogate from its res pectability, if the poor and distressed were suffered to perish at the door; but here no such charge could be made, for if its hospitable entertainments were great, they still fell far short of the munificence of its charities. (llear, hear.) It was highly gratify ing to learn the amount of the subscriptions placed at the disposal of the Committee. Two thousand pounds was a good fluid as a corner-stone to begin; but it was not yet a fund to draw from: bat it was great in this respect, that it took away all ground of despair from those by whom the charitable work was begun. They could now look forward with confidence to such a subscription as would realize their great object of raising those helpless foreigners from dependence to a reliance on their own future exertions; But before he concluded he would state to the meeting that he had been commissioned by an Hon. and Learned Friend, illustrious for his powerful talents and great acquirements, to express his regret that professional duties, which could not be postponed, prevented his attendance.' Hi s H on . and Learned Friend was engaged in a most import ant cause, which had for several days back occupied the attention of the Court of King's Bench. He (the Common Sergeant) could, however, assure the meeting, that the object for which they had met had the warmest wishes of his Hon. and Learned Friend, who had also commissioned him to present his contribution. The Learned Gentleman then called the attention of the meeting to a second,"sub scription of upwards of 401. from the parish of Ro therhithe, the former subscription having been 80/., and observed, that if similar efforts were made in other parishes, they would be attended with the happiest effects. The Learned Gentleman con cluded by moving that the report of the Committee having announced " that the funds subscribed since 1824 were exhausted, a new subscription be opened in the metropolis, in the hope that the example may be followed in other parts of the country." Mr. LABOUCHERE seconded this resolution, and observed that the distressed and destitute individuals in whose behalf the present appeal was made had now no other hope of relief but in its success. Go verninent had already done its part in extending the bounty of the Crown to a large number of the refu gees. Mr. Peel and, other members of the Govern ment were known to take a deep interest in the fate of those for whom no such provision could be made. The public press had nobly performed its part by its powerful advocacy of their claims, and it now re mained for the public at large to evince their sym pathy by liberal contributions. He trusted they would cheerfully perform die duty which thus de volved on them. The resolution was then put, and carried unani mously. Dr. LUsHINGTON, in proposing the next resolution, said, none but those Ivho felt it could be fully aware of the deep wretchedness of being from home, from country, from family, from early friends and associa tions, and be cast on a foreign land without friends or property, or any means of acquiring subsistence by their own exertions. Those, however, who lived in affl uence an d com f ort at h ome might form some correct notion of such privations by imagining the case for a moment their own. The very thought was too dreadful even for a short contemplation, yet the bitter reality was now felt and endured by many, who once had as little conception that the case would be theirs as any of those who heard him. And let it be recollected, that they who were thus driven from their homes and comforts were not, for the greater pat t, of that class who possessed but little : they were those who moved in a high sphere, who filled important civil and military functions, who possessed rank and fortune, and—what should endear them still more to the sympathies of Englishmen, who possessed principles which they preferred to either. For such men it was impossible to suppose that an Mr. JAMES MORRIS seconded this motion, I p a p d e e a n to v vain liberalitye oe a r and Englishmenlet him N o b ul sol d hat England h e rs e lf was i n p a rt the cause u l ff v e a r s i n‘gy ho fann e d e th oseand beran ► 1808 se strongly manifested itself in Spain he tyranny which attempted to place Si nder a foreign yoke.
