It met, besidei, at S its opening, with - a 'Very rude, and unexpected assault, very disgraceful 'till the principal in the attack, and to all his airettoes. The causes Of onr iltesent condition and difiictittit, whatever they may be, cannot be fairly brouklit forward to obstruct the remedies or alleviations of patriotism and fellfty-feeling, which the wants and suffering cif a large proportion of the people bow require. Anew association for this good and useful pur 7 pose would perhaps have bad more effect than the call of an old and almost-forgotten 'Commit tee, formed fur a purpose, and in circumstances `very different and opposite to the present. The distinct but concurrent and emulous consent and. action of the great bodies, and separated socie ties of the City of London and of Westminster, would have been much more demonstrative in ex `ample, and powerful to convince and excite, than `their union in a half-concerted and nnaccordel amalgamation ; all declaration on political causes or bearings might have b4en avoided as wholly irrelevant, or at least quite unnecessary—if_ a large amount was looked to, as required and use inl---tbe leading Subscriptions should have been of more evidence in_umount and number, and in ge nerality at once of party, rank, and condition, as in the case of the noble, liberal, and well-de served offering to the brave men who fought and 'conquered at 4 Waterlob, which exceeds 450,0001. and has still to add the liberal and, grateful Con tribution of our friends and fellow-subjects of Asia. But in cases of this description, all mere defects of the "'manner" of prticeitling among a few inch- Vidottrt, who venture to originate and propose a . good Wok to the public, should in its first propo sition he fret!ly excused and atirely overlooked; su c h a r e not fairly open to a captious critieistu ; t uhrsltiluld preindiec ihe progress of public favour towards the " good purpose" 'submitted to their concurrence.

It would indeed be a disgrace to the character of the intellect and moral awl politic feeling and .tudgment , of the. MetrOpolis of Britain, if such a brainless simpleton as the half-witted, half-mad, and self-reproaching Politician, as he %rho figured so preposterously at the Tavern-Meeting, could influence, to stop the stream of useful considera tion for the suffering people of this kingdom. Nothing indeed of party, of Ministers, or their aspiring Opponents, or their busy and " talented" abettors, should mix to stain the pure waters of Charity and Humanity;--let them flow—they will water the laud, and raise up the glad flowers of ease, consolation, and hope.

The Captain explained the nature of the fluid whi,h the michine was charged. with, which vitt sista. of lime, rot ash, and a certain 'quantity of water, which might he made in two minutes, and an board a ship a cask of it might, always be in readiness, besides the machine being chargeti,With it.--to show to the Committee the ektramdinary effects of the anti-phlogistic ingredients, he int merit(' in it a quantity of hemp, canvas,.and deal wood, n - hich are the most combustible marerials used in .1 dock-yard ; he also immersed the mite ,Materials in common water, and applied a certain heat to each :---those which had been dipped in the anti-phingistie fluid would not hem, and those dipped in.common miter blazed inne diattly. The Captain also sprinkled sonic hemp with the fluid, and some with common water, which bad the sante. effect that sprinkled with water burned, and, the other did not. He then exhibited the means lie had of resetting persons from danger, where they were so situated, being surrounded by fire; that the only means of escap ing tram the element was through the windows, or from the tops of houses. One of the inventions was adinired by the Com mittee, which the Captain tried by shooting a cord from a pistol, one end of which would go over a house, and the person in distress could draw the rope to the window, at the other end was fasten ed a machine similar to a &tier's horse, what they clean the outside of the windows with which are at a distance from the ground. The person may draw it up, and fasten tbetnselves 'to the rope by a sliding noose round th e waist, anti the rope being fastened to a pulley, the persons below may assist those In distrett gradually. down, without danger. The noose in the rope is so formed, that a child may he let out of the upper window in the house, and arrive at the ground without danger. The Captain produced a plan of commit , nication from a bottle on fire to the next house, by a kind of railing with hooks td clip each win dow frame ; and also an elastic sheet, which be ing. held by two men, the person in distress might leap into it, without any !tenger of receiving butt ,by ity 1 - .' : ,liait'rlSTO, I N "i7 . ..T.LI'd El•4dt4 tri hrices last ive•ek 'afircircled, eicelient sport ; thweather was very faVourabie *on the two fi rst d ays, Gut On Friday was a heavy storm of rain., On WeJnesclaV • the Plate of . 561. was run fey by {oar tories nll(`COlite - Stell as #OIIOSCS ,fir W, IVytin's ch. h.
