He would propose the Lord Mayer and Corporation of the City of London. Mr. WHITBY, as a Member of the Corporation of the City of London, returned thanks. Song—Mr. Smith—" Lovely Maid." The CHaimatasr then proposed, " The Metropolitan Lite rary Institution." Mr. Sheriff WHITTAKER said. that all whet were present must be sensible of the objects of the Institution whose forma tion they were that day met to commemorate. let reverting to those periods when the state of society was dark and unen lightened, he could not avoid comparing it with the present.— It was probably about the year MN. when Literary Societies were first established. But they had not laboured with much effect until during the reign of Charles the Second. At length came that patriotic one, the British Museum, to which Sir Hans Sloane, and so many other eminent men, dedicated their time and their fortunes. It was noble in them to do so, and it was just in us to commemorate their deeds—to pay them those tributes of gratitude which we ought to pay. In sculpture it contained the Elgin Marbles—in MSS. the Lansdown coh lection--and in many other acquisitions, it had so increased as to bid fair to rival any Institution in Europe. Others of a similar nature followed, and the one for which the meeting was more immediately interested, although it was the last ; he trust.- ed would not be the least. Glee—" Glorious Apollo." ' T. SAUNDERS, Esq. said, that however hamble he might Ise as an individual, he was proud to rank himsel famong the members of the Institution, who, he was sure would be equally ready with himself to pay the homage they all must feel was due to the wor thy, honourable, andrespectable Chairman, whopresided over the proceedings of the day. He was not only entitled to praise in the dignified character he held as Sheriff of the Cities of London and estminster but in private life his conduct did credit to the high situation which he filled. Ile was also a tried and sincere friend to the Metropolitan Literary Institution. He had stated to the Society, at its late meeting, that he would do all in his power to forward its views; and he had kept his word. Ile (Mr. Saunders now called on the Meeting to thank Lim for what he had done. FOR THE SUN. iog se t , hose 611 TRAVELS in EGYPT and the BMX LAND. The Se cond Edition : with a Journey throu g h Turkey, Greece, the lonian Isles, Sicily, Spain, &c. By IVlLLiast RAE WIL SON, Esq. F.A.S. Embellished with Thirteen Engravings. After having taken such copious extracts from this Work it is hardly necessary for us to inform our Readers that it has occupied much of our attention. Those extracts, we are assured, have been generally deemed amusing and interesting, and, we have reason to believe, have excited a strong desire in the Public to peruse the whole Work. We have hardly ever met with so active, so enterprising, and so persevering a Traveller RS Mr. RAI AVILSON. The piety which evidently pervades his Work, and which we must do him the justice to say, appears to be the pure result of firm conviction in the' -truth of Holy Writ, is by no means tinctured with superstition.— That spirit of devotion which uniformly charac terizes the Volume affords a pledge of the accu racy of his narrations. Nothing interesting in point of locality seems to have escaped the no tice of this diligent and active Traveller, and the variety of personages whom he has intro duced, the vast Humber of anecdotes connect ed with them, and with the places which he has visited, render his work highly entertaining and instructive. The Volume is divided, into not fewer than forty-four Chapters, and all are preg nant with information upon topics of interest or importance. It is very difficult, indeed, to find any Work so strongly characterized by a sense of devotion throughout that is also so amusing. The Author, in a modest Preface, disclaims all pretensions to literary merit, but without occa sion ; for though he sometimes shews marks of carelessness in point of grammatical nicety, there is an easy vigour in his style, and his descriptions appear to be marked by the vividness of truth and conscientious scrupulosity. The several en gravings are neatly executed in aqua-tint from sketches taken by the Author on the very scenes which they represent. The Volume is dedicated to the Duchess of KENT, whose late illustrious and excellent husband was the friend and patron of the Author. Upon the whole, we heartily subscribe to the commendation which this \Vork has received from most of the Reviews and other Periodical Publications, and sincerely hope that the Author's laudable pur pose will be fully accomplished in confirming the Believer, enlightening the Sceptic, and gratifying die Scientific, a purpose which it is well calculated to effect by its novelty, amusement, and solid in formation. Eorroa—The blessings of a free Consti tution are remarkably demonstrated by even their Converse vices—the latter assume a milder type than those of despotism, where the human mind, when it errs, at once rushes into derelictions of magnitude. In England every man enjoys his humour, and while he outrages not the laws made and provided —a Peer may drive his wag gon—a Duke, as really happened, may sleep on a road side—a Baronet may permit the barbed horrors to spread like a patriarch of Israelitish propensity--a jolly Farmer may drive four pigs to market in his taxed cart ' All sorts of migra tions are permitted except pecuniary ones—they prove their own corrective. The laws of these Islands are most intricate, inasmuch as they are permitted to embrace usages of most factitious and relined systems of civilization. What can be more anomalous, and in fact astonishing, than our Code of Game. Laws ? They seem a sole tism in the jurisprudence of this free and limited monarchy ; a man who possesses thousands in the public property of the country, the natural de positary of the wealth of the community, the funds of Great Britain, cannot, though his ac count of Bulls, Bear., and Scrip be most unex ceptionable and extensive, pick the wings of a pat, idge of his own shooting, nor enjoy the luxury of well made soup from the dense fibre of an old hare, not the piquiency of the " levre a la civet" of the delicate leveret ; why is this preponder ance given to landowners over money-holders ? because those hateful laws are a scion worthy the branch from which they sprung, the bloody " lex presta" of our Norman chevaliers. viau~ly Dr dry. iced in hands ;ing in )wn c" :11 the le An' ed by h' In o keg ler, on e, and apart place/ bar* li, Dukc-street, Wectminiter, thy 19, 1844.

Mr. Sheriff Wit ITTAKEII returned thanks. Song, The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Mr. Alderman Heygate, whose parliamentary duties obliged bins to be absent from the meeting. The health of Sir C. Price, Bart. the treasurer, was then-pro posed, Song. Mr. THOMPSON said he could not but regret that it had Mien to his lot to address the meeting on a subject which now occupied such universal attention. Every land had heard that Englishmen were brave; the last sound of the trumpet had been just heard ; they had just laid down the sword; and had but recently ceased to wave the flag which had only waved to victory. In the war to which he alluded many a noble man had sealed his good name with his blood; but when the labours of those who fought and died had been completed, they only felt that death was to bear them to mortality. Death takes the great and the talented as well as the brave, and the world bad but just heard the lament for one of its brightest characters. Man was never more deservingof im mortality than when conferring it upon others. Genius is of no party, but it is above all. He would therefore propose as a toast, and he hoped that it would be drank in solemn silence-- the immortal memory of Lord Byron. The toast was drank in solemn silence. wear, 3 Ma' DRACTICAL 0 LISEit VATIONSon Silt IC nd other DISEASE.; of the URETHRA, describing au effectual Mode of Cure by an Internal Medi cine, and proving the application of instruments unneces sary, and generally productive of injury.

The worthy Baronet whose case is recorded, much to the credit of the aristocracy of Devonshire,. evinces the truth of these observations. In fact, the law-suit* alluded to is instructive, inasmuch as it shows the workings of the human heart.—W hat a machine of meatiness must have been at work to produce uuch a Puerile disquisi tion !—Well has the Roman bard said, " Omne vitem proclivi est."

Yesterday an interesting meeting of Ladies and Gentlemen took place at Crown and Anchor Tavern in sup port of the above Society. The spacious room was fitted up in superior style with large tables round the room, which were covered with n linary, dresses, pictures, books, and ornaments of every d escr ip t i on, f orming the appearance of a Bazaar, while the company p romena d e d the place and made purchases, for which they amply paid, conceiving it to be the work of charity. The produce of e a ch art i c l e was contributed to the funds of the Institution, which were considerably advanced, so munificent were the payments for the most trifling articles. Several Ladies and Gentlemen of distinction attended. and the company did not separate until between six and seven o'clock in the evening. " The Literary Fund" was then drank with enthusiasm. Mr. EDGE, in the course of the evening, informed the Meet ingtlibrary, (which consisted of 17,00 of the Institution, and that volumes)lttt the s h should be duplicates the service ce he had many valuable works which he would present to the Society.

By means of the deporteurs, or book agents, vast numbers of Testaments,Bibles, , and Tra cts i n the vernacular tongue, had been circulated in I ourw, Grenoble, and Bayonne, and several parts of the Netherlands, in the West of Germany, Switzerland, Geneva, and the Cantons of. Vaud and Berne. As s oon as th e Authorities in Switzerland discovered the success of the mission, they pursued the agent as an enemy and an incendiary.

Throughout Aus tria the Scriptures had been dispersed. In that benighted country the Government was as strict in withholding the Scrip tures from the people, as in Rom e itself. One of the officers of the Society had made an incursion into Spain against supersti tion, with a small army of 500 Bible s and Testaments, besides a number of light troops in the shape of tracts. He penetrated to the walls of Madrid, and discharged into it his wo copies, under the protection of the French military. —(Applause.)—The Re ' port stated some proofs of the superstition of the King of Spain and the people of Madrid. During the war an agent got into Cadiz, and proceeded to distribute, but was apprehended and cast into a dungeon on a charg e of sedition. One of his tracts was headed " God sends Jesus Christ to sinners with laws of peace for the Conscience." The wise Governor said, that God meant the King of France, and that Jesus meant the Duke of Angouleme, and that the design of the tract was to overthow the Government. The agent probably owed his life to the tak ing of Cadiz, but he was ordered to 'quit the country instantly. In Italy conduct no less bigoted was adopted. At Aldan, Mr. Tartaro lingered under sentence ot death for distributing Bibles. lie was tried for Carbonarianism, and the proof was that he had circulated the Bible. The report concluded with a recommenda tion that the exertions of the Society should be strenuously per severed in. It was received with great applause. 31r. Dili:743loND, the banker, moved that it should be re ceived, and Mr. S. Percival seconded the motion. The Rev. J. Cunningham and other gentlemen spoke. The report was received, and a collection was made at the door. METROPOLITAN LITERARY INSTITUTION.

The platform was crowded with Ministers of all denominations, and the interest of the meeting was sustained with unabated fervour until past ten o'clock. The collection at the doors, with other donations, amounted to nearly 4001. It is but justice to the respectable Magistrate who presided on this occasion to add, that his gen tlemanlike and Christian-like discharge of the duties of ('hair man, and his concluding address, drew forth the most enthu siastic shouts of applause.
