ROYAL WESTMINSTER INFIRMARY FOR DISEASES OF THE. EYE. About one hundred of the friends and supporters of this excellent Institution met at dinner, at the King-street Rooms, on Saturday, to celebrate its anniversary. In the absence of his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral, Colonel Wood, M.P. took the Chair, supported by Major-General Sir Fred. Robinson, and Mr. Byng, M.P. Sir J. Swinburne, who is a great promoter of this Charity, Sir H. Watson, Sir James M'Gregor, Director-General of the Army Medical Board, and several medical gen tlemen of the metropolis were present. The usual toasts of .the " King," " Duke of Clarence," &c. were drank,, and the songs and glees of Messrs. Pyne, Bellamy, &c. added greatly to the conviviality of the evening. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the pro gress which this valuable Institution is making under Mr. Guthrie, the surgeon, the original promoter of it ; for next to mental derangement, there cannot be a greater bodily affliction than loss of sight. Since the commencement of this charity, in 1817, 1,367 persons, of all ages, have been cured and relieved. Of these 450 have been restored to sight; some at a very advanced period of life, and some who were born blind. What a blessing, therefore, it must be to thousands in the course of time. His Majesty's Qovernment has promised a piece of ground in the intended new street, leading from Charing-cross, for the erection of a proper Hospital, and a general meeting is to be held on the Ist of June, for the purpose of fixing a day for laying the foundation stone, and to request some further aid from the public to defray the expense.

(From the Dublin Morning Post of Friday. ) Yesterday a separate Meeting of Catholics took place at the Corn Exchange, to take into consideration the legal and constitutional measures most conducive to advance the cause of civil and religious liberty at the present period. NICUOLkS PURCELL O'GORSSAN, Esq. in the Chair. Mr. COSTELLOE acted as Secretary. Mr. O'CoNNELL, immediately on the Chair being taken, addressed the Meeting on the present posture of their affairs, and their future prospect of success, of which he entertained the most sanguine expectation s . He concluded by moving a vote of thanks to Sir Francis Burdett and the other supporters of their cause in the Commons, but more particularly Lord William Paget ; and next, that the ne cessary steps should be taker to call simultaneous meetirvs, and address both the House of Lords and his Majesty. The O'Conor Don and Conway rose at the same time to second the motion. Mr. Conway gave way, an d the resolution was seconded, accordingly, by the O'C nNo , DoN. Mr. LAvurss rose to sepport the resolution, and after observing that he was glad that Mr. Conway had given way to the O'Conor Don on this occasion, he adverted to the subject in debate before the meeting. He would beg leave, before he made any observations on this topic, to congratulate Ireland on the victory she had just obtained in the great cause of Civil anti Religious Liberty—which he considered to be the greatest she had ever achieved in the annals of her struggles fur the attainment of her rights and privileges as a na ti on . N ever, on any former occa sion of the kind, did her question come before the Legisla ture, for its solemn consideration, with so many and so for midable opponents--with so much of powerful and weighty hostility arrayed against it. Yet such, he was proud to have to proclaim, was the great paramount influence of public opinion and common sense in the British Em pratedtht all that mighty phalanx of hostility was pros t to the dust, and trampled upon before its supe rior energies and irresistible sway. Mr. O'Connell, in the course of his observations, had said, that in the discussion there had been nothing said against their (the Association) violence. He (Mr. Lawless) could, however, ges further : there was actually a panegyric, and a warm one too, pro nounced on them by Mr. C. Grant. Mr. Lawless, after eulogising the feelings of Mr. Grant, though one of the Ministry, proceeded to deny that they were to be alarmed by any idea as to securities, to which he was opposed ; aed after recapitulating and expressing his acknowledgments for the services rendered them by their friends in Parlia ment, on the discussion of their question, concluded by supporting the motion before the Chair. Sinii,n concurred with the preceding Speaker in sup porting the resolution. Mr. Sturm considered that the event which had just taken place was strongly calculated to excite in their breasts, in the highest possible degree, the mast enthusias tic emotions of joy and gratification, in consequence of the result being, perhaps, exactly the reverse of their antici pations on the subject. They had bean led to think, not only by the rumour so generally circulated through the country that there would be a majority against them, hut also by the Parliamentary announcements, made by one of the Ministers filling a high station in the Councils of his Majesty. Here Mr. Sheil adverted to the opinions ex pressed by Mr. Peel, on refusing to act with Mr. Can.. ping, in order, he said, to draw the attention of the people of Ireland to the peculiar circumstances and situation of things under which their victory had been obtained. Had such a man as Canning been at the head of the Admini stration, the majority of six might be looked on as small indeed. But when they saw that the question had hem carried in the Commons by a majority of six, and not only without the aid of Ministerial power, but with Mr. Peel at the head of the Home Department—when they 'blind it had been carried in spite of all the power and weight of influence of Mr. Peel, they' might justly conclude, that the measure making its way through so many and so for midable impediments, affords evidence that there is a spirit introduced, not only into this country, but into England, which renders well founded our anticipations of future success. After proceeding with hi. observations at some further length, be concluded by supporting the 'nation. After which, Mr. Coeriwcxst having addressed the meeting, the question was put from the Chair, and carried. Thanks were then returned to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. THE ARMY. Detachments of the 15th, 66th, and 79th Regiments of Foot, embarked on board the Nestor transport, at the Cove of Cork, on the 7th ineta nt,to join the Service Com panies in Quebec. Three Companies of the 56th Regiment of Infantry sr rived at Londonderry, on the 12th inst. from Dublin. The 62d Regiment of Infantry is on the march from Enniskillen, for Thurles and Tipperary. Detachments of Regiments, serving in the East Indies, marched this morning, from Westminster, - to join their several Dep.'its, at Chatham and Canterbury. The days fixed for the Cowes Regatta, and Southampton !laces, are so conveniently tnrranged, ;re will greatly enhance the gaieties of both places. The Regatta being the 4th and ith of August, the Races the sth and 6th of the same month.—Hunts Telegraph. FIRE AT GLASGOW.—On Wednesday morn. ing, shortly before four o'clock, a fire was discovered to have broken nut in the vastly extensive works situated at St. Rollex, near Glasgow, belonging to Messrs. TENANT and Co. acid makers. The fire at first presented a most alarming appearance, the flames, illuminating all around, were truly fearful and terrific, together with the dense black columns of smoke issuing therefrom, and the continued ex plosions which took place, at once struck horsor into the mind of every beholder. To save all the buildings was never contemplated; indeed it wan evidently impossible. The attention of the firemen was, therefore, directed to arrest the progress of the devouring element from extending farther. This, we are happy to say, was, after great labour and much risk, to a certain extent, effected. After determined perseverance, combined with well-directed judgment, vigilance, and intrepidity, the flames were subdued, but not till a whole square of houses, occupying nearly an acre of ground, were destroyed. The greatest coolness was observed by the firemen, and notwithstanding the extreme risk that was frequently run, not the slightest accident or casualty took place. Not less than 50 tons of brimstone were on -fire at one time, and the nitre bags were exploding every now and then. The loss sustained is re ported to be about 60001. The premises were insured. The poor workmen who were employed, amounting to about one hundred, will, in consequence, be thrown out of employment for some time. It is not known haw the loyal and ns.t D tire originated.—Scotsman. YORKSHIRE SOCIETY..--A meeting Of this Society was held at the London Tavern on Saturday, in commemoration mosrE, .A ationi.ef P. pr the patriotic toasts, the Chairman proposed ca Prosperity an d perpetuity to the Yorkshire Society."

He felt happy to find by the report, that, not withstanding a dhnimition of their annual subscribers during the :ast two years, the funds of the society wera in a prosperous condition. On the health of " the Presi. dents" being drank, the Earl of ILsnasnonse, returned thanks. The children were then i n t r odneednind after t h e y had withdrawn, the treasurer read the report of th e sub scriptions, amounting to a considerable sum. HIGHLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY.--011 Sa turday the Society established in London for promoting t E -e ( r i n u a c r a t tio t n iin ii n ' e t r he at il t ig h l e hi l ,n r d e s ei o n f as S on o s t ' land, held their Tavern. Uis Grace the Duke of ST. Annnnes took the Chni,e, in the absence of his Royal Highness the Ditl-;a of ST7SSET, the Penni dent, who was unfortungtely unable to attend from indis. position. The company was numerous and, respectable, though several Gentlemen anti Noblemen of distinction (connected with Scotland), whose presence had been calcu lated upon, were, from other avocations, under the neces sity of sending apologies. Among the latter was the young Duke of Iluccnntrcir, who sent to the meeting an excellent proxy by the hands of the Secretary, in the shape of a donati on o f 100/ . Ald erman Sir Frent Latins, Treasurer to the Society, stated the history of the institu tion, eulogized its objects, and enumerated the various contributions whi c h it h a d t ransm i t t e d t o the parent es"' blishrnent i n S co tl an d. But what g iern.

In a short time aft erwar d s the latter returned the complime nt and de p u ted several of at the h ea d their body to announce it. The de p utatio n , of which was General STE WART, of Garth (the author of the interesting work o n the Hi g hlands ) , entered the r oom in their Highland garb , p receded by their bag-piper. Th e dress, the piper , and the c o mplimentary addresses w hi c h passed between the Chair and the deputation, 9 teine d very amus i ng to the southern portion of the company. Tin , subscription amounted to near 7004, and nearly the bah' name from Eoglishmen„ LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SOCIETY OF AIANCHESTER, SALFORD, STOCKPORT, BOLTON, ASHTON, ROCHDALE, WARRINGTON, &c. &c. On Wednesday, the 14th inst., a General Meeting of this Society took, place in the large room at the King's Arms Inn, King-street, Manchester. There was a numerous and respectable assemblage of the trade, and a spirit of the utmost cordiality and unani mity pervaded the whole of the proceeding s . Th e object of the Society is to provide funds for the relief of aged and decayed members, and their widows and orphans, by bublishing a weekly paper in Manchester, the profits of which are to be applied .solely to that purpose. On the motion of Mr. BEAUMONT HODGSON, Mr. LIVESAY, of the Bull's Head Tavern, was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the business by stating him sense of the honour conferred upon him. He could not but think there were many better qualified for the task than himself; at the same time, since it way their pleasure, he would endeavour to discharge the duties of the station to which they had called him with fidelity. He observed that he did not profess to be very well acquainted with the concerns of the Society ; that although, from a conviction of the great benefits which might be anticipated reasonably from the undertaking, he had become an early sub scriber, yet he did not belong to the Committee, nor had he attended any of their meetings. He must, therefore, throw himself on the indulgence of the Meeting for any omissions or inadvertencies he might be led into. He then proceeded to exhort the Meetieg to every exertion to realize the benefits. resulting from the establishment of the Society. He observed that union among themselve s was alone re quisite for that end, and that the Licensed Victuallers; of the manufacturing districts were capable, both from their numbers and influence, of forming one of the most powerful Institutions in the kingdom. He then called their attention to the Report of the 614 progress, and present state of the Society, which the Honorary Secretary would read to them. The Honorary Secretary proceeded to read the Report, which gave a succinct account of the origin of the Society, with five individuals, in he month of January last. It described the formation, and the indefatigable lab ours o f t h e Provisional Corn mittee; the sacrifices of time, business, and money, to which they had submitted, in order to promote it. Their object had been not to spare themselves, but to be chary of the subscriber's money. It stated, that as prudent men, there must be a limit t o t h ose sacrifices; they h a d done their duty, and they called upon the subscribers at large to do theirs, and take a portion of the burden upon their own shoulders. The Report proceeded with stating, that the So ciety actually consisted of several hundreds of the most respectable members of the trade; that it was increasing daily in proportion as the benevolent ob. jects of the Association became more generally known, and that in Manchester they liad no doubt that in a short time there would not be one indivi dual unattached to it. There were still the out towns, containing some thousands of Licensee, Victuallers, yet uncanvassed, but they had Rs surances from several of their hearty concurrence, with a few volunteers from several of them, who, in their visits to Manchester, had sought out the Society. There was no district of the Empire, the Metropolis not excepted, so populous as Man chester, and thirty or forty miles round it, and so far, or farther, was this Society destined to extent/ itself. The appointment: of trustees fer•the custody of the funds, and of Messrs. Cunliffe, Brooks, and Co. as bankers to the Institution, was noticed. The Report then mentioned, in a proper stain of feeling and respect, the handsome conduct of the Right Hon, Lord Suffield towards the Society, and ' t h e advantages already derived from his Lordship's ap proval and patronage of it. Allusion waR, a l so made to various handsome donations from sr . ,entlemen con nected with the wholesale line; the more grateful because unsolicited ; and it we, s announced that the brewers, distillers, and - .vine-merchants generally, had intimated their readiness to come forward in aid of the Society whenever called upon. Finally, the Report made an animated appeal to continued zeal and exertion, by which only could similar splen did success be ensured for the future; and recommend ed the formation of two distinct Committees, viz. one for the preparation of rules and regulations for the go vernment of the Society--the other for the genera; manageme n t of affairs, and the commencing of the paper of the Society. The Report concluded with a statement of expenditure, from which it appeared that the whole of the charges of every kind upon the funds amounted to little more than ten pounds, for the four months since the Society's first esta blishment, the whole of which sum was for printing, advertisements, and stationary ; the Conam;ttee having during the whole of the time canvassed, met, sent deputations, and done all other business, at their own cost and charge. The Report was received with applause, and a motion agreed to that the same was highly satis factory. Mr. SIIELDRICK, Mr. BROWN, an d severa l ot h er members, addressed the meeting subsequently, it animated terms, and exhorted.' them to set their shoulders to the work.
