MARCEI 23.—The affik at Nimes, though it assumed for a moment a serious aspect, tva , , soon settled it was a part of an organized conspiracy of the Ultras, which had ramifications in 17 departments. The opposition to the Mar quess of BARTH ELEmY's proposition was calculated , on, and fixed on as the signal for new Sicilian Vespers, and a modern Sr. BARtHOLONIEW. And is it among the boasted defenders of the Altar and the Throne that we are to seek these conspi. rators—these foul murderers ? Alas ! we should seek them in vain elsewhere. Can M. LAINE still protect them, or will the new Minister of the Interior follow the steps of his predecessor ? For humanity's.sake I hope not. The Minister of Finance has produced his Budget, and a singular one it is. The Minister of the Interior has also produced his political Budget, or the Law on (we cannot say the Liberty of) the Press ; it is i❑ its present form objectionable in many parts, and would at first blush be thought tyrannical ; but if it be stated that there are pub lished in Paris 160 Periodical Publications, nine tenths of which are political, it must be confessed that the Cacoethes Scribendi required a check, and a most effectual one this is, for it exacts 400 guineas per ann. in the funds,j liable to be attached at any moment. Now so far from the Proprietors of many of the periodical Journals being able to deposit such a sum, we should not be favoured with their profound lucubrations if they were obliged to pay ready money merely for paper and print. The reason of the Minister for exacting the security in Stock, is to neutralize that sum, by keeping it out of the market. IVELSH DISPENSARY. On Thursday last a number of Gentlemen, Na tives of Wales, !net at the Freemasons' Tavern, Sir W. W. WYNN, Bart. in the Chair, to sanc tion and support a Dispensary, the object of which is to iatford ;Medical Relief, gratuitously, to such of the Pooh WELSH,* who may he incapable, from their ignorance of the English language, of obtaining assistance through the medium of the existing Medical Establisinnents in the Metro polis. The benevolent idea originated with Mr. Morgan, Surgeon, of Great Newport -street, who had teceiverl a gracious letter from his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, testifying his appro bation of the Institution, and coudescending to become its Patron. He also had received letters - from the Marquess of Anglesea, Doctors Rees and • Nuttall, Mr. Astley Cooper, &c. &c. his Lordship accepting the office of President, and the eminent Medical Gentlemen promising their professional aid. Sir \Vatkin moved thanks to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, which was seconded by the Bishop of St. Asap!, ; then spoke in the most flattering terms of Mr. Morgan's charitable disposition, and recommended to the Gentlemen present to become annual subscribers, which was cheerfully acceded to by every one. After re turning thanks to Sir W. \V. Wynn, the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, &c. &c. the Meeting ad journed to the 24th of May. Mean time the ob jects of the Charity are to derive benefit from it, by producing a letter from a suhccriber to Mr. Morgan, This Institution reflects great credit on tl,e Sons of Cambria, and will, we make no doubt, be. well supported by the natives of the Princi pality. ..ft is computed that there are nearly 50,600 Natives of Wales in London and the neighbourhood, one-fourth of whont are unacquainted with the English language. FOR THE SUN. THE ITALIANS. Mr. EDITOR—The candour with which you ge nerally notice theatrical Productions induces me to believe that you will readily give insertion to a few lines, in consequence of the illiberal, I may add, malignant and absurd Strictures, which appeared in a Morning Paper 'of to-clay, on this Drama. It is not enough for the black-blooded Critic that the Author was disappointed in his views of hav ing his piece represented on the Stage, and sup ported by the favourite Actor of the day; it is not enough that, according to the statement of the Author, he had struggled through great pecu niary difficulties ; it is not enough that he bad been assailed in such arrogant language by the Person to whom Iris disappointment, and the frustration of his hopes of maintaining his family, are owing —assailed him i n suc h l anguage as !night be expected from the haughty pride OITGONAPARTE in the height of his power. No, Sir, this savage Censor has determined, if possible, to blight the prospects of the unfortunate Author, advising the Public by implication to damn his work, and drive his talents for ever from the Stage.— Sir, the Critic, however he may think Ire shrouds hinaself from suspicion, has been traced through all his devious tracks, and will in time be exposed, and then it• %yin be found that he is a Wolf in Lamb's clothing, though be thinks himself as cunning as a Fox. This person, Sir, is suspected to be the nionster who trampled on the remains of the late Mrs. BILLINGTON, and more than in sinuated that she had been accessary to the death of her first husband, a charge which, with the whole of Lis infamous biography, was react with horror by every liberal mind, and which occa sioned from many houses the expulsion of the same Paper which contained so brutal an outrage on departed taste, science, and genius, I'oool-lutel, March 26. VINDEX. FoVVEY ELECTION.—The Poll finally closed on the 24th :—Mr. Arrwooo, 152 ; Lord VALLE TORT, 114. The former was of course returned.

TEMATRICAt VIND; The Dinner intended for the support of the Drury-Lane Fund was held yeSterday et the City of London Tavern in Bishopsgate-street, and con sidering the meritorious occasion, and the acknow ledged liberality of the inhabitants it) general, we were.lorprised that we did not find a more nume rousOmpany. We think differently from one of the leorning Papers, which intimates, that the want-of due patronage on the occasion might arise from the distance of the Tavern horn the Ilieatri cal viciuity ; , .but, in our opinion, tile situation selected impliedLlC compliment to the benevolence of an opulent city, in giving it an opportunity of entering into a munificent rivalry with the Pa trons in more fashionable districts. But to . the Diener. The Duke of Yonts, who is always prompt at the call of humanity, acted as Chair man. His Royal Highness was supported on his right by the Marquess of Anglesey, anti on his left by the Earl of Yarmouth. There were also pre sent, the Honourahle George Lamb, Mr. Lamb ton, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, Sir Samuel Shep herd, Mr. Byng, Mr. Calcraft, the Honourable Douglas Kinnaird, Sir A. Piggott, Sir L. Ska unarm', and others. 'the cloth having been removed, the usual toasts of " the King, the Prince Regent, and the Royal Family," were given, accompanied with appropriate songs from the professional Gentle men. The health of the Duke of Yottx having been proposed,.and having been drank with enthusias tic applause, his Royal Highness returned thanks, and expressed himself much honoured by that mark of esteem which had been show') him. He was sorry, that on this interesting occasion there was so thin an attendance, but lie hoped that would be an,additional reason for those who were present to supply the deficiency by their munifi cence. He concluded by proposing thanks to the friends of the Drury-Lane Fund, and the health of the Master and Treasures, Mr. Kean. Mr. KHAN then rose, and in a short speech•ex pressed his acknowledgments for the high and distinguished honour conferred upon him. He begged to offer the sisicere thanks of those of whom he was a humble representative, whose situation hail been so materially improved since his Royal Highness had last year consecrated this spot, and let in the , first ray of light upon this, till theft, withering lostitntion. 'He -was fully aware that it might he painful to the feelings of Gentlemen to hear the cases of distress which had occurred, but he would not for that reason for bear, because lie knew that to listen to the cause of the unfortunate and afflicted could scarcely he said to be distressing to the ears of the truly benevolent. He thought it rather an extraordi nary circumstance, anti perhaps was one worthy of inquiry, that some members of his own pro fession were not subseaibsrs to this Institution, particularly when they had before their eyes so many examples of the blessings and comforts de rived from its establishment, to many poor iodi viduals, who hail for the last 30 years been sup- ported by it. One of the Most affecting anti en couraglog examples, was the case of that once well-ktiowntavoinne of the public, Mr. Reddish, who, in the delimitation of the mimic madness of Edgar, was second only to the inimitable Gar rick. This Gentletnan had been a subscriber to this Institution, and thus had given -to ,lihnself and his f am ily th at protect i on which could trot otherwise have been obtained. From this fund was the sou now supported, and bad been educated, and introduced into a must respect able rank in life. That such examples should be wholly ineffectual in recommending atten tion was certainly extraordinary ; but it pro bably arose partly from the circumstance of the necessary diminution which had been made in the 1 amount of the pensions. He could assure them, that it was his most anxious wish to raise this an nuity to a much higher sum titan it was at pre sent, because he was well aware that it afforded scarcely sufficient to purchase even the necessa ries of life. 'He then cSOnplitnented, in enthusias tic language,, the liberality of the Royal Presi dent, and of the Citizens of London generally ; and observed, that a Citizen of this great metro polis, so well known for the number of its bene volent Institutions, could not but rake an addi tional pleasure in the celebration of au anniver sary which brought among them an Illustrious Member of the Royal Family, who never conde scended to mix with his fellow-subjects without inspiring them, with fresh attachment for his per son, and loyalty for the Throne. lie concluded with remarking how deeply sensible he was of the public favours towards himself; he should always be truly grateful for every mark of public esteem, , but he should not regret whatever portion of it was withdrawn from him, if it lighted with an gel's wing on the ladder of this sacred institution. The healths of the Vice-President and the Com mittee were subsequently drank. Mr. KEAN then reported the amount of the subscription received this day. He was happy to say, that the total nearly reached 1200/. The subscriptions were then read, and among them we observed following :—The Prince Regent, 1051. ; the Duke;ot York, 521 ; Loril Yarmouth, 201. ; the Marquess of Anglesey, 251. ; the Earl of Derby, 501. ; the Hon. George Lamb, 201.; Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, 101 ; the Marquess o Tavistock, 201, ; Lord Holland, 101. ; the Ear of Essex ; 101. ; Mr. Canning, 51. ; and severs others. ‘VI en the Duke of I t om announced the health of M. STEPHEN KBMBLE, the Manager of Drury . Lane Theatre, that Gentleman arose and expressed himself to the following effect :—He observed that he was not prepared for the honour which he had received, that he was a bad Orator, and wholly unaccustomed to sneak in public, except when words were provided for him by better beads than his own ; and that, on the present occasion, there fore, he could not do better than borrow a sentence from the inimortal Bard, and then first bowing with reverence to the Doke of YORK, he looked toward the Company, adding, (from Much about Nothing)—" Gentlemen, 1 am not of many words, but I thank you." This brief Address, which was uttered with diffident solicitude, was warmly applauded. The Royal CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Mr. Jahn Kemblu. • Sbid. 1115 WAS A nnrrlF.

Yet some there are whom fate denies To join the luckier ranks, And many who deserve a Prize, 'rho' doom'd to draw but, blanks; For such we join, like brethren good, Their hapless lot to mend ; And those not brethren, be so good At least to prove a frie►►d. Some village Han:let want may bow, Or turn Othello pale ; Some mute inglorious Norma now May tell an humble tale ; O'er Iliehard's woes a balm pray shed, Let gold enrich the tear, To give Jane Shore a loaf of bread, And furnish Juliet's bier.

And every blessing rest with you, Whose gifts our cares dispel, 'Till Prompter Time shall take the cue To ring Life's Curtain Bell. . The remainder of the evening WEIS spent whh the most cordial conviviality, to• which the affabi lity of his Royal Highness contributed not a little. At eleven o'clock his Ropl Highru , ss left the Chair, and was followed by most of the No bility ; but a large part of the company remained in enjoyment of the festal scene till a late hour. REGISTER OF FASHION. . A Grand Bail was given yoterday, evening at Willis's Rooms, under the patronage of the Duchess of Wellington, the Marchioness of Salisbury, Lady C. Long, Lady C.
