Hail Star of Brunswick," after the health of thy Duke of Sussex dial the rest of the Royal MANOR OF GLASTONBURY. On the !we trial of hunt and his associates . at Yirk, it Was stated in evidence that he was " Lord of the Nj a h o e a Glastonbury !" We knew not till then that the Orator had added, to-his paternal property in Wilts and Hants, the revenues of this ie , :t manor ; but the possession of them has hi therto, within our own memory, afforded notoriety to Electioneering scenes. About 40 years ago, (we stale from recollection only) during the contest for the City of Bristol, l3urgum, the renowned pew terer of that city, Was a strenuous supporter of Cruger, and daily sent his tallies of Plumpers to the litts.ings adorned wi h Pewter hints. Atter the election, Jetu THISTLETWHAITE (a native of Bris tol) wrote Lis local satiric Poem, entitled " The Consultation," full of the spirit and personal acri monious vein of the celebrated Churchill. To his first edition was prefixed a dull prose dedica tion to BURGUM. A quarrel, however, took place before the appearance of a second edition, be t%teen ilia POET and the PEWTRRER, who then wrote one of the bitterest satires ever penned, as a second dedication, which was inscribed "To HENRY BURGUNI, ESQ. " Pewterer, Musician, Orator, Electioneer, and Lord of the Manor of Glastonbury!" We do not think that in those days the Lord ship of the said Manor was esteemed of any con siderable value, as BURGUM never was thought a roan of property. He shortly afterwards failed in business, and involved in his ruin his partner, the eccentric GEORGE CATCOTT, one of poor Chatter ton's early patronizers, and whose name often occurs in tie Rowleian controversy. Boßoom died a mere pauper. Some idea of his erudition may he • inferred from the following anecdote:— The writer of this spediing - to him rather favour ably of some poetic beatifies in Thistlethwaite's poem, Buttcum replied, " Yes, for the matter of that, the thing is well enough ; hut, Lord bless you, do you think he wrote it himself ?" Cer toMly. " No, no, he perhaps gave the heads to to , nte men in Lomlon,who follow the trade of poets. They s:.pply any person that may want your corn tun!) kind art poet' y at 5 guineas a sheet; and you 'nay get ywn vets best, what I call superfine verses, uhuut Sor JO guitivas for such a uumt2ct pa vs!" SUPPLIES . MON OF NIENDICITY. The Society for the suppression of Mendicity held their Annual Meeting on Saturday, at the Freemasons' Tavern. Mr. STURGES Bon Mae hav ing been called to the Chair, Mr. BODKIN, the Secretary, read a long and interesting Report, in which the successful exer tions of the Society, in the last year, were set forth with much ability. From ehis it appeared, that within the period just mentioned heir atten tion had been called to the cases of 4682 persons. Of these many had been .relieved ; some had been sent to their parishes, or found in employ ; anti others, who were proved to be impostors, had been ordered to be prosecutes!. In the course of the year the number of meals furnished to ap plicants for relief amounted to thirty-three thou sand and thirty-one. The Report described the plan of this meritorious Institution, and the pre cautions which experience had taught them that it was necessary to adopt. It stated an arrange ment to have been lately male eith the Conduc tors of the Refuge for the Destitute, for admit tiiig into that Establishment a certain number of perotas recommended by the Governors of this Institte ion, in the hope that the Society might be instrumental in reclaiming the vicious, as - .yell as in succouring the unfortunate. .The recommenda . - tiotra of the Society had been more generally at tended to by the parochial authorities in the last year than in that which preceded it ; while they had in some instances compelled parishes to afford relief to their poor, wherever an tin affected reluctance to claim parochial assistance had been evinced, the feeling bad been carefully encoura e ed and con lit med. It noticed the difficulties with which the Society had to contend under the exist ieg Poor Laws, but notwithstanding these, it stated toe number of street beggars to have been considerably diminished in the course of the year. The severity of the winter had thrown a number of out-door labourers out of. work. This caused a great addition to the number of claimants ou the Mendicity Society, by those who were forced to beg in the streets front a dread of actual star vation Qn this occasion they directed the appre hension of beggars as vagrants to be suspended, and the most extensive arrangements were made for affording the sufferers relief. At this period the Society were assisted by various associations, and especially by one most praiseworthy Institu tion (that of London [Nall) formed on the spur of the moment, where the houseless wanderer found a ready shelter, and sinking nature was sus ranted by preper nottrishmeet. - The funds of the Society at the commencement of the year amount ed to 6421. lON. By the sale of tickets and other benevolent aids they were augmented to 2,721/ --. The disbursements of the year were then enume rated, and these it appeared left a balance in hand of 1201. Is. 24. ' Lord CLIFFORD expressed his satisfaction at hearing-the Report, and warmly applauded the plan. He moved that the Report should be ap. proved and printed, and circulated, under the rection of the Board of Management. Mr. WIELAND seconded the motion, and spoke in praise of the plan of the Society, which he.re garde(' as one of great public utility. The motion was agreed to una►►imously. _ _ _ Lard BELoasvu eulogized the ability with which the , Officers of the Society had gratuitously dis cksred those duties which they had taken upon themselves. lie concluded by moving a resolu tion, e xpressing a high sense of the zeal, ability, and disinterestedness, which had been displayed by Mr. Bodkin, the Honorary Secretary, w h o has nobly declined all pecuniary recompence, and re questiug his acceptance of a piece Qt pl ate , not exceeding 100 guineas in value, to be paid for out of the fonds of the Society. Mr. MARTIN seconded the motion, and warmly panegyrised the conduct of the Secretary. Mr. M. BURGOYNE also spoke in praise of the Society and of the Secretary. Mr. W. TooKE showed that the plan of the So ciety had originated with Mr. Bodkin, and on l y carried into execution through his zealo us an d meritorious exertions. The managers had felt it their duty to propose such a vote to the General Meeting as was now before them, as it was felt that no other individual properly qualified could have been engaged to bestow so much time as had been given to it by Mr. Bodkin, for less than five times the sum now proposed to be expended on apiece of plate to be presented to that Gen tleman. The motion was carried with acclamations. Mr. BODKIN returned thanks, and expressed his determination to acknowledge the honour confer red on him, by exerting himself to the utmost to promote the best interests of the Society. The present Board of Management were re elected for the ensuing year, and requested to re duce their number to 60 by ballot. The Auditors were appointed ; and thanks having been given to the Duke of York, Mr. Martin, the Founder of the Society, Mr. Williams, M. P., Mr. Tooke, and other Gentlemen connected with the manage ment of the Society's affairs, and also to Mr. Sturges Bourne for his conduct in the Chair, the Meeting was dissolved. THE DINNER. At six o'clock a party of about 100 Gentlemen, friends to the Institution, sat down to dinner. Lord Sondes, Mr. Hohhouse, M.P., Mr. Wilmot, M.P., the Hon. E. Harbord, and several persons of distinction, were present. The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, and stated that his Royal Highness had written to express his'regret that he could not be with them at the present fes tival, but he hoped to appear among them on a future occasion. The toast was drank with shouts of applause. _ _ I%lr. WILLIAMS took occasion in the course of the evening to describe the plan of • the institu tion. He showed that its first great object was to clear the streets of beggars; to effect this they did not in the first instance inquire whether or not an objtct was deserving of kindness, but taking the most favourable view of the case, they assum ed this, and affordekreliet. Inquiries were then made, and the party dealt with accordingly—the unfortunate being assisted—the impostor punish ed. He set forth with great energy the dvan tages that it might be hoped would result front this institution, which, ho‘sevcr, be dici I;ut hope Kos ld he perpetual, as he trasted, the sueressft accomplishment of its object would make this, i the opinion of its warmest friends, unnecessary. The health of Mr. Hohhouse and other visitors was proposed by Mr. Wilmot, M.P., and seve rally drank. LOU] SONDES, as one of the visitors, retnrncd thanks, and announced his intention of becoming a Member of the Society. Mr. Hoeuouse, in acknowledging the honour he had received, expressed himself most friendly to the Institution, which be should always he happy to eupport; without any reference to party or political feelings. Sir F:Bnrdett also approc. ed of the Society, and but that lie was unAvoidibly . engaged elsewhere, would have been happy to be present on this occasion: _ _ Mr. WILLIAMS stated invitations to have been sent to the Members fur the City of London, front whom letters had been received, stating the rea sons which prevented them from attending. He mentioned these invitations, that it might be un derstood no political dis!inctions were intended to be made where the support of all parties was desirable. The healths of Mr. Martin, Mr. Bodkin, and other Gentlemen connected with and friendly to the Institution, were drank wiih three times three, as were the usual loyal and national toasta. The company were entertained with a variety of songs and gtees by Messrs. Pyne, J. Smith, Tinney and Jolly, and the evening passed off with the ut most harmony. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (From, the Chester Courant, April 25.) For some wreks the Lund, n Papers have been prosecuting a controversy as ro the intention of Ministers to add greatly to the amount of the Ci vil List. It is now, however, conceded by ail parties, that if such a design ever existed, it has been absitdoued. c congratulate the conntry that such is the decision. For, dlt tumgh a trifling deduction in this depairment of Government ex pences, could have little influence in effecting the great work of national redempt ion, yet it is now universally acknowledged, on a!I hands, that a rigid system of economy and rttrenehment should be carried into every office of the State. We are not disposed to doubt the willingness of Minis ters to act in conformity %vitt) these views. 'lyre nation's eye is fixed upon the new Parliament; sorry should we be to witness its time spent in personal bickerings and party animosities, and as little satisfaction should we derive from a repeti tion of those paltry schemes of finance, which it has long been the fashion of adopting. Let the evils of the country be brought into full view ; and when the colossal figure, with all its formida bleness is contemplated, let British wisdom di rect, and British energies be applied to its anni hilation. A few weeks ago, we adverted to the activity of the landed interest, in preparations to load tl.e table of the Hoi,se of Commons with ncizions, for further protecting duties on corn. That acti vity has greatly increased of late ; and at this mo ment agricultural associations are formed from one end of the kingdom to the other. At that time we took the liberty of deprecating the relief of one class of the nation, by increasing the bur thens to another. The ground of complaint among the land-ownets is, that the present price of agri cultural produce does not pay them for cultiva tion; and we can therefore discover no other object they aim at, but raising the price. If we turn our attention for a moment from the country to our manufacturing towns, little observation is needful to convince us, that the ability to pur chase corn even at its present price, is daily dimi nishing, and that a rise in all the necessaries of life, which an increased price of corn would bring along with it, must produce amongst our mecha nics a change from a mere existence to absolute starvation. We can see no other way to compen sate the labours of the plough, than by the in creased activity of the shuttle. To render effec tual aid to either, must be to communicate it to both. All the petitions of the agricultural associations proceed upon the principle we have stated. But there is one front the County of Monmouth, which, while it prays relief, asks it, not front the pockets of the mechanic, but from the tunas of the annuitant: The idea is worth a considera tion, which we have not at present time to be stow upon it. We give an extract from it : " That your petitioners disdain any wish to be relieved, by the enactment of any new Corn Bill, or any measure whatever that may tend to in crease the expences and difficulty of living to an already impoverished and distressed population; but your petitioners cannot but hope that some legislative measure will be adopted, in confor mity to the principle admitted in the Report of the Select Committee of your Honourable House on the Poor Laws, for subjecting such personal pro perty (and particularly that of the Funds) as 'may be made to contribute, without the exercise of inquisitorial power, to a fair proportion of the burden of supporting the dependent Poor, which is now almost exclusively borne by the property of your petitioners." We cannot conclude this article better than by expressing a hope, that the manufacturing dis tricts will be alive to their interests.—The argu ment urged by the agricultural associations for multiplying their petitions is, 'that unless they are presented, the Legislature will conclude they are sati - stied with the present state of things ; so we would say, that unless the manufacturers express their dissent to additional corn-bills, by petition, it may be concluded they feel no interest in resist ing the measure. FlRE.—Abont one o'clock on Saturday morn ing, a fire broke out in an untenanted house in Shadwell Market, which was undergoing•some re pairs ;-it is supposed to have originated in some lime on the ground floor taking fire. The house was in a short time consumed, together with a quantity of new timber; the flames communi cated to the adjoining house, occupied by Mr. TeHis, a coal-merchant, which was materially damaged. Mrs. Ttllis, who had been only put to bed on the day before, was obliged to' be removed into the street for safety, and she is iiiingeroinly PI in cousequnce of the fright, From the LONDON GAZETTE of April 29.
