Yesterday evening a grand dinner took place at the new Gallery in Suffolk-street, Pall-mall East, to celebrate the establishment of the above institution. The pictures which ars intended to be exhibited on the opening of the gallery on Monday next were hung up, and naturally attracted much of the attention of the company. As another opportunity will be af forded us of offering such remarks as we think necessary upon the works here offered to the notice of the public, we shall con tent ourselves on the present occasion with remarking, that the exhibition on the whole is one of considerable merit, anti far superior to what might have been expected to have been got to gether by an infant society. Haydon, Martin, Lintet, Heaphy, Glover, Hofland, and other well-known artists, have several excellent pictures. Haydon has a picture of extraordinary me rit,,which we shall notice-more fully on another occasion, when we take a general view of the gallefy. Northcote is the only Member of the Royal Academy who has sent any pictures to the gallery : two of his paintings appear in the great room. At half-past six o'clock the company, in number about 150, sat down to an excellent dinner. Mr. Heaphy, the President of the Society, was in the Chair, and was surrounded by his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Hon. I). Kinnaird, Mr. Hart Davis, 111. P.; Mr. Latubton, 11I.P.; Mr. Hobhouse, M.P.; Sir 11. Fergusson, M.P.; Mr. Rolland; Captain 31orris, Mr. Thomas Campbell, and many other Gentlemen eminent for their rank or abilities. The usual toasts having been drank after the removal of the cloth, Mr. D. KINN•Atnn proposed the health of the Duke of Sus sex, which was drank with three times three. . The Duke of SUSSEX, after expressing his thanks for the honour which had been conferred upon him, observed that he felt a very warm interest in the success of the society, He thought that the Royal Academy, so far from feeling any jea lousy with respect to the present society, ought to look upon it with satisfaction and pride, because it bad in sonic manner emanated from itself.—(Hear !)—He had no doubt that if the object of the society were fairly represented in that quarter whence honour and distinction were derived, it would receive all the encouragement to which it was so justly entitled.— (Hear !)—Long, he hoped, would the institution continue to flourish ; and he felt proud in being the first to propose " Pro sperity to the Society of British Artists." Ir. HEAPHY acknowledged the compliment which had been paid to the Society by their Royal guest. The success which had attended the Society was far beyond what its most ardent supporters had anticipated.—(Applause.)—lt had encountered much apposition, but it had triumphed over every impediment. He concluded by toasting " The Patrons and Supporters of the Society." - - LAMBTON said, that no man could feel a more anxious desire than he entertained for the success of the Society whose institution they were met to celebrate, because no man was more anxious than he was to promote the welfare of British A rtists.—(A pplause.) Mr. HOFLAND begged to notify that he had received an in timation from an Honorary Member of the Royal Academy, which he was sure would be received with the utmost gratifi cation by the present company, from the eminent person who addressed to him the letter, which he would beg leave to read:— " 13, Lincoln's Inn-fields, April 13, 1324 . " Dear Sir— regret that a disease in my eyes prevents my having th e pl easure of dining with the Society o f B r i t i s h A r tists to-day, a greea bl y to the card I have been favoure d w i t h. " Front the communication you were pleased to make to me yesterday, I am f u ll y persuaded that t h e M em b ers of your So ciety are anxious to combine their_ interests with those of the Royal Academy. The greater the number of enlightened Societies in town and country, so much the better for the inte rests of the Fine Arts; they will all .form. one family, and I trust their rallying point will always be the Royal Academy. " To the Founder of the Royal Academy my obligations are great; of course, I have a deep interest in whatever relates to the-welfare of his noble Institution. The patronage of his late Majesty gave me the opportunity of pursuing my studies in Italy, anti has thereby enabled me•occasionally to assist in re lieving the distressed artist, his widow, and children. " With this view of the subject, and with these feelings, I have the most heartfelt satisfaction in wishing success to the Society of British Artists, and to offer them, by the accompa nying inclosure, the strongest pledge of my best wishes for the success of the institution. " I am, dear Sir, " Your's very truly, " To J. C. Hofland, Esq. &c. " JOHN SOAVE." Mr. Iloilo:1d accompanied the announcement of this letter with the intimation to the Society, that the individual who had addressed it to hint had also contributed fifty guineas to the Society.—( Applause.) " The Royal Academy" was drank with three. Mr. HEAT II returned thanks. " The British Institution" was next drank with like honour. Mr. HART DAVIS returned thanks, and expressed a warm wish for the prosperity of the Institution. The CliAllt MAN next proposed " The Royal Society," which was drank with three. Mr. HOBIIOUSE, as a member of the Society, returned thanks in an eloquent speech. " The Society of Arts" was next drank. Mr. LamitToN then proposed " The health of Mr. Thomas Campbell, and the Poets of Great Britain.—(Applause.) Mr. 'l'. CA si PBE LI, rose and was received with louttapplause. He begged to return his most respectful thanks for the honour which the company had been pleased to confer upon him; He also begged to express his most cordial, sincere, and sanguine wish for the success and prosperity of the Institution. It was ex tremely gratifying to him to observe that the company had been .honoured by the presence of a scion of the British throne, who and identified himself on all occasions with the interests of the people.—(Applause.).—There was a congeniality between th e arts of poetry, painting, and music ; and it was the wish dearest -to his heart, that there should be a similar congeniality between the professors of those arts.—(Applause.) Several other appropriate toast were given, and the company did-not separate till a late hour. SEAMENS' FRIEND SOCIETY. The North East London and .13Ftthel Union Auxiliary Branch held their Fourth Anniversary Meeting last evening, in Albion Chapel, Moorbelds ; Mr. Alderman KEY in the Chair. The Report for the past year was read by one of the Secre taries, and gave a most satisfactory exposé of the state of the So ciety's funds, and the still extending list of Subscribers (in which were included the names of many Masters and Mates of mer chant-ships, and not a few donations even from the common sailors). The Report also alluded in forcible-terms to the want of more means, as the field is extensive, and the desire of the sailors for religious instruction being evidently increasing in proportion to the diffusion of knowledge. Mr. BAKER, in proposing the adoption of the Address ; nade many very pertinent observations on the importance of this Society in regard to confined. seamen, who by their open . and unsuspiciouS character were but too often made the wretched dupes of the more practised villain ; and thus almost un consciously stimulate to the commission of crimes for which they were visited by the heavy sum of offended justice, -whilst the principal actors or instigators slunk away_ in secure embus cede. Such was the case of Castles, the young maxi who was respited a short time back ; and if he (Mr. IL) had no stronger evidence of the importance of an institution which contemplated the rescue of maritime men from the trammels of ignorance and irreligion, this solitary case would have won his esteem, and secured to it his feeble aid. The Rev. - JOYCE seconded the resolution. Many other Speakers addressed the Meeting during the even ing in teems of high eulogium on the advantages alrekdy de rived from the Institution, and prospective of still greater be nefits according to its progressive extension. A considerable sum was collected i❑ aid _of the . Society's Funds at the close of the meeting. M.

CATHARINE'S DOCK, TO THE LORD CIIANCELLOR. MT LORD,—Your Lordship is the Guordiau of the unprotected in this country ;- and, thank . God, they have a protector So' perfectly alive to all their interests. There will, probably, aeon be brought under your Lordship's notice, a question on which the welfare and happiness of thousands depend, and on which also depend millions of money ; I allude to the application to Parliament for a Nesv Dock at St. Catharitie's. What is the I4story of this New Dock ?—lt is shortly this : seeing the numerous -schemes which private interest and the rage for speculation in this era, so fertile in bubbles, is daily p r oducin g , and the pr em i um which these subscriptions usually hear, -partite lady at their commeecetnent, enabling the pro jectors and subscribers to realise large sums by immediate sales, a few speculative and interested individuals determined to get up a New Dock Scheme with a large capital, which, in the temper of the times, and under the influence of their names, they calculated would be quickly sub scribed for, and soon be at a premium. In all this they have calculated rightly : and thus an additional field for speculation, or, more proper ly, gambling, has been created. The real ulti mate success and utility of the scheme was not an object of much consideration with most of the subscribers ; they could sell their shares at a premium, and slip their necks out of the collar at any time, putting money in their pockets. They never allowed themselves to dou-bt, that under the plausible tale they could hold out about faci.. ties in trade and free competition, the Parliament would grant the powers they asked for. The whole scheme of the Dock was arranged and Directors appointed. With the most perfect confidence, the committee of Management take their Surveyor down to the ancient and popu lous district of St. Catharine's, and taking their stand at the fie() old Collegiate Church, which has endured the ravages of more than seven cen turies, regardless of its antiquity and beauty, and of the ashes and motmments . of Nobility which it contains, and the reverence with which it was contemplated by -the peopl e, they doom to destruction, and drawing a line round a space of nearly thirty acres covered with houses, the whole are condemned : but those houses are filled with people who have been borne there, and who have all those attachments to home which man kind in general possess, and seldom part with. A respectable old inhabita-nt tells thern,—Gen tlemeu, I - was horn here ; I succeeded my father in my business . , which lie derived from his ancest ors: if you destroy my propert y , and drive me from it, I and m y family must b e ruined, for no compensation can make u;# to us the loss of our trade and the good-will of our customers, driven 'to seek a habitation among strangers. My Lord, this is the language of thousands of these people,. but they are laughed to scorn by these projectors, who, with unfeeling indifference, tell them of the powers of an Act of Parliament. These poor people know and acknowledge the powers of Parliament ; but they also know, that Parliament will 'Win to the humble,sup e fi en . tionsor the .poorest of them ; and they likewis e know, that they are under the especial cure of the Chancellor, who will see that their habits. Lions, their ancient place of worship, their Church yard, and the graves of their fathers, shall not as be swept away to satiate the pecuniary cupi dity of a junta of speculative capitalists. Nothiug, I conceive, can authorise the destruc tion of private property and private rights, but the making out a clear case of their being wanted for the public good. This in the present instance has not been done. The desire of gain by pri vate individuals is, I maintain, th e main-spring of the undertaking. It does not proceed from pa. triotic feelin gs , nor from a wish to give accom modation to the shipping and trade of the Port of London ; there is already ample accommoda tion. I challenge a proof of the contrary. I maintain' that.the numerous Docks already exist ing on both sides the .water, and the numerous Private Wharfs, are much more _than equal to th e accommodatio n of all the shipping and trade of this Port ; for although there appears to be an increase of trade of the country at large, it does not follow that this : is the case in the Port of London. The Dock rates have for some -time past been gradually ,getting lower, .and by the time the London Dock charter ceases, which has less than .tzco years to run, they will have expe rienced ,a reduction that will put this Port on a footing with any in the .kingdom in respect to charges of every description,. and this before any New Dock can come into operation. I shall not attempt to conceal, however, that this reduction in the rates has been, and will continue to be made at-the expense of the proprietors of the Old Docks, whose loss will be epormous ; but to them it would 'be total ruin ,to have a New Dock brought into competition with them, the capital of--which (nearly a soon.be swal lowed up, carrying that of the Old Docks along with it ; .some have already ceased to make -any dividend, and it .is to be feared that.others will follow.* It may be said that people may be left at liberty to squandor away their owr•u money in these wild schemes if they please; this might,per haps, he granted, if the original projectors were TII F.

A very heavy firing WAS kept -up the whole of Friday fore noon in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, in consequence, we understand, ()fan order issued by his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, Master-General of the Ordnance, to make t trial of the new-invented cast-iron .gun-carriages and. of their quali ties as to standing the effects of a l ong anti, rapid .cannonade.-- (Kentish Gazette.)

Rut the contemplated increase of such specits late concerns is, at the present moment, beyond belief. The St. Catherine's Dock, although of great extent and full of mischief, is nothing to what is in contemplation—indeed, I may say; it is something beyond contemplation ; for will it he believed there are no less than two large Docks, on the :oath side of the river, so far hi progress that the ground is surveyed, the esti mate of expence made, and the whole nearly subscribed for. As to getting the authority of Parliament, that is not for a moment doubted, for they say, if the SI. Catherine's Dock Bile I passes, Parliament cannot refuse us. Thus we see one false step leads to others—it is a wise maxim, " beivare of the beginnings of evil." The first Dock on the south tide is proposed to be at a place called St. Saviour's ; and is to em , brace about 25 acres of a district pretty much re , sernbling theta s St. Catherine's, end will be attend , ed with most of the evils of the other. No sooner was this arranged than an active surveyor, and a few enterprising individuals, planned and made arrangements for a second Dock at Bermondsey, in the immediate vicinity of the other. It is to consist of no less than thirty-five acres ; this too s subscribed for—such is the extent of this sort of mania, at the present moment, unexampled even in the times of the South-sea bubble...es- Surely, my Lord, the evils of that grand financial delusion are not so entirely forgotten as to induce • Government to shut their eyes to projects of a si milar tendency. Are they to give the sanction of their approbation to plans likely to bring ruin on thousands? If such are to be the effects of our having a liberal Ministry, we shall not, by and bye, have cause to bless them. %V hear much of Foreign Despots, and of the little regard they slew to the happiness of their subjects. , Let me ask . what we s h ou ld say if we heard of a For e i gn Sovereign driving suddenly. from their homes thousands of people,—we should he struck with horror, and we should thank God we did not lire under such despotism._ But, my Lord, What name am I to give to the conduct of the British Parliament who authorize a few cold calculating and covetous individuals to act in a way extremely similar—turning thou sands of families adrift at a few weeks notice, and applying the Capital and energies of the Country in such a way as not only is not called for, but even extremely destructive in a thousand different ways. We may be told that property is not taken without compensation in money being made ; in some cases the one may be an equiva lent for the other, but, generally speaking, it not so. I rpeat, my Lord, that nothing but the. • making out a clear case of public benefit can au thorize the sacrifice of private property. This has Cot been done, nor can be; but even if it could, the indecent and violent haste with which this measure has been brought forward, cannot be got over. That a measure, affecting most seriously upwards of six millions of Dock Property, affecting all the Private Wharfs l Suf ferance Wharfs, and Legal Quays; destroying a Church and two burial grounds, and more than 1,100 houses and warehouses ; turning 10,006 inhabitants out of their homes ; that a measure . of this immense magnitude andimportance is matte public only in the month of February, instead of the months of August or .September previous, in contempt of the standing orders of the House of Commons, hitherto always enforced in similar cases of new and opposed schemes, ought to te alone sufficient to stop it for the present session; Lord Tikurlow said, " Forms are the fences of Justice," and I trust that your Lordship will see the weight of this objection, and will (if on this ground alone) refuse to it the sanctions of your great name.
