To those Gentlemen unacquainted with his Sys tem, he begs leave to say, it imparts grace and elegance to the limbs, firmness to the body, gives confidence of n u and superiority of deportment ; in short, Gentlemen, however highly educated, and moving in the first circles; cannot consi der themselves fully accomplished, if ignorant of this branch of finished education.—Those Noblemen and Gentlemen who attended his Rooms in Bath and Dublin, he respectfully soli cits their acceptance of the Entri at his Fencing Zoom in the HARSIONIC THEATRE, CATHERINE -STREET, STRAND. Gentlemen desirous of becoming Scholars or Subscribers, are requested to honour Mr. G. with a line, addressed to him, at Willis's Royal Musical Repository, St. James's-street. nest', and moved the. next resolution, which wits secolided by. „ Mr. R. Mo n oN, and agreed tu. Mr. DENMAN, M..P., after suggesting that the name of Mr. Brougham should be added to the committee - ' said, that became. tkere with a message fro m th at gent l ema n, who, as well as him., BC had only learned from the newspapers that morning that this meeting was to take place. It had been his (Mr. Broul;, ham's) intention to have attended it, but he was prevented by being engaged in court. • Much as his poWerffil eloquence might have aided the eatise for which they were there assembled, his. , assistance would be still more valuable as a witness than as an ad vocate ; for he had knoWn many of these unfortunate gentlemen in their own country, and he had there beheld them living in honour. lie wished it to be known, that many of them were most distinguished individhals, who bad sustained the first ° rank amongst the nobility. lie (Mr. Denman) himself could bear evidence to the eheeriblnesSwith which these distinguish, , ed individuals suriliced the -greater part of their own trifling comfbrts to the assistance of their more wretched brethren ; and he had known ninny of them refusequisistance, although deli. cately tendered, and endeavour to rely upon their own exer. tions. But these were not the only objects to be assisted: there were the wives of those who had died in prison ; there were their children. Surely, it' they had 'been cast upon bur shores by a storm, or by shipwreck, they ,would receive our committer.' anon I and it was too much to say, that they were at least as. much entitled fo it as the victims of the most cruel despotism ? ---(cheers.)-16 did not consider the meeting thin, considering - - the shortness Of the notice; on the contrary, It ptoodsed every success. How very Small - a part of that sum which would be expended in increased festivities on this oettann of the year would be sufficient to pour gliulness . into the .hearts of thou. sands ; and what was this season meant to Commemorate ? To commemorate the coming of the great Arbitrator who is to sit in judgment upon him who took in the stranger as one who took in himaelt.—(Loud applause.)—lle concluded by moving that the resolutions be advertised. , Mr. Bowl{ aN n, having seen many 'of these foreigners at the head of the institutions of their country, tame forward to bear testimony of their virtues in prosperity as well as adver. sky. Every attempt had been made to open the door of re conciliation for them, but without success. There were some who had gone back on the most sacred promise of safety; but as KOMI as they arrived, they were thrown into a dungeon; whilst others Acted their escape, and returned to Ibis country only yesterday. In short, this country was the only place of refuge they had left.—(Applause.)-He seconded theßesolu. don, which was agreed to. Mr. itEsti FIELD wax appointed Secretary ; and some addi. tional names suggested by Mr. Alderman Woo» to be put upon the Committee ; but, as the Committee had the power to increase their numbers. The Loan MAYOR considered it would be more fornial for the list to be sent to them, when, no doubt, they would gladly adopt them. (.)n the motion of the Hon. AGAR ELLIS, seconded by Sir Jour Dovt.E, the thanks of the Meeting were voted to the Lord Mayor for having convened the Meeting, and for his con• duct in the Chair.

Dec. 1, 1824. The Bath Branch beg to call the attention of the Officers re. siding in Bath and its vicinity to the following Extracts from the Rules and Report of the Parent Society : " The object of the Society is to provide a stock or fund for the paying annuities to the widows, children, parents, and sisters of the deceased Members, agreeably to the several Acts of Parliament for the bonefit of friendly societies. " The Society is open to receive as its Members, Flag Officers, Captains, Commanders, Lieutenants, Masters, Surgeons, Pur sers, Chaplains ; and Officers of the Royal Marines, and their respective Widows ; and by paying according to the - following Table, Subscribers at their death will insure an annuity to their nominees : If the Subscri ber be Years of Age. If the Nominee be Five Years younger th. n the Subscriber, he or she is to pay as under, and at the same rate for every year .C. s. d. exceeding Five. Under 30 1 0 0 Os. Od. From 30 to 40 1 10 0 9s. M. Andl7centrance. 40 to 60 20 0 11s. Od. These payable 60 to flO 210 0 13s. fbi. only at the en. 110 to 65 3 0 0 I 6s. Od. trance. 66 to 70 3 10 0 ills. oil. " Should any Member be unable to pay the sum specified in the above Table at one time, he is at liberty to do so by sepa rate payments of not less than 2!. per quarter ; after the first quarter, interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, will be charged on the remaining sum. .No Officer, above the age of 60, shall be admitted, unless he pays double subscriptions and entrance monies, as above. No Claimant can receive any benefit from the Society until the Subscriber shall have been five years a Member. " The Committee of the Parent Society, in presenting their first Annual Report, heartily congratulate its Members and Friends on the eminent succees that has attended the esta blishment of the Institution, which is daily iolvancing in ex tent and consequent importance. They have the pleasing duty of reporting that they have already 6,513/. 13s. 11d. deposited In the Savings Banks as their capital stock. " To afford a competent income the Society is endeavouring to establish an adequate fund, in full confidence that as there is no object more worthy the support of die Naval profession, so there is none that better deserves it on grounds of policy.— Every Officer who feels an anxiety for the welfare of his family, is called on to enrol himself among its members. By associat. ing in a body like that formed under the designation of the Royal Naval Annuitant Society, every Officer secures, without risk of failure, an annual income to his representatives, and causes the Widow and Orphan to raise their drooping heads in prospect of security from future want. " Considering the brief period that has gone by since the establishment of the Institution, the Committee with pride and gratitude confess that the increase of its funds had outstripped their most sanguine expectations; and front the constant corn. musications received from all parts of the world, the Royal Naval Annuitant Society bids fair to rank among the first be nevolent Institutions in the kingdom ; nor do your Committee doubt that it will progressively increase in importance, and like the Wooden Bulwarks of our native Isle extend protec tion and relief in the hour of need ; and that whilst England possesses a Navy, it will he handed down to posterity as a last ing memorial of that brotherly love which is the charateristic of British Seamen throughout the world." Letters post-paid, relative to this Society, to be addressed to Capt. James Garland, No. 3, Percy-place, Bath, of whom the Rules of the Society may be had at the Society's price; and who will also give attendance at his residence from Eleven till One.

T" progress of Merit, although frequently assailed, is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The aggression of Ambuscade terminates in Defeat—and conscious Rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand Object—Public Approbation. The test of Experience is the guarantee of Favour, and has Established 'WARREN'S BLACKING in general Estimation, of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious Preparation as the genuine Article, to the great dis. appointment of the unguarded Purchaser, and manifest injury of Warren, whose character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an indispensable duty to CAUTION the PUBLIC against the matueuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who, having no charac. ter to lose, and stimulated by liveries) in their nefariousur suits, aim at the acquisition of money throu g h any me dium than that of honour. The original and matchless Blacking bears on each Bottle a short direction, with the signature— RD BERT WAIL it EN. - - - All others are Counterfeits ; and in many instances the im. position labels are artfully interlined with a different Address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 80," and " STRAND."' It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base Fabrica tions of Warren's Blacking, to return the detected Trash to the source whence it came, and expose the machinations of rascality to merited obloquy. Warren's Blacking is surprisingly brilliant : it excludes damp, gives pliancy to the leather, retains its pristine virtue in all climates, and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article equally of indispensable fashion and utility. Sold by every respectable Vender in Town and Country, in bottles, at 6d, 10d, 12d, and 18d, each. prwa ES. MANCHESTER New Light Post Coach, The Regulatnr, throng!'

'1 A Public Meeting was yesterday held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of raising a subscrip tion for the relief of the Sanish and Italian Refugees who are pow suffering such dreadful privations about the metropolis. Besides the Gentlemen whose names will appear beloW, the Owing was attended by several other respectable individuals. Owing to the shortness of the notice, it was not so numerous as it otherwise would have been. The LORD MAYOR being voted to take the Chair, opened the business of the meeting, by stating that he had been in duced to convene it in consequence of various applications made to him upon the subject by several bankers and merchants of respectability, who had been moved by the great distress which the Spanish and Italian refugees were enduring in this metro polis. It was unnecessary for him to dilate on the miserable condition of those unfortunate men. Upon an occasion of this *lnd, all political and religious feeling should be guarded eueinst. here were six or seven hundred of these individuals Jle ow a a t m l o w t e ,r s y ei t it o , n n i mann: subjugation.

All that could he done, therefore, was to support those who were now here; but at the same time avoid holding out encouragement to emigration. The funds raised last winter for this purpose were exhausted. Such, how ever, was the feeling on this sulject, that he bad already re. ceived upwards of 41.h1t. at the Mansion-house for their use.— (Hear 1)—It was melancholy to see men of education and of high rank in their own country, about the streets of this city In the condition in which they appeared. He was satisfied, however, that the public would willingly conic forward as soon as a regular channel was opened for them to do so, and cheertillly contribute towards the alleviation of their suffer ings.—( fear !) 3lr. I YNG, M.P. felt the greatest pleasure in giving all tile encouragement in his power, by moving the first resolution. It gratified his feelings as a man, to help his fellow-men. This was not a political question. They had come here to save the lives of their fellow-creatures.—(fear !)—On a former occa sion he had felt the same commiseration for the French emi grants, although they had not made the same exertions to de fend ieir own cause. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. .1. 5311111, M.P., said lie was culled on to move a rest). lution disclaiming all party feeling on this occasion. A meet ing had been held lust spring for the same purpose as the Fe sent ; and its partial failure was attributed to the circumstance that it was composed of individuals favourable to the constitu tional cause in Spain, and its object, therefore, mixed up with party feeling. Ile was confident it was only necessary to state that a great body of individuals were amongst us wanting the necessaries of life, to effect the benevolent purpose they had in view. Many of these individuals had been accustomed to live in opulence at home, and some of them in grandeur. Ile con cluded by moving the second resolution.—(Applause.) L Mr. Alderman VENARES seconded it with pleasure. Even if the feelings of the public were expressed upon the cause in which these unfortunate individuals had embarked, he was con ! vinced they would not be unfavourable to them. But it wag enough that we all had the broad ground of Christi a n c h a rity to meet upon. One thing, however, might he s a id o f them— they had all been engaged fighting for the existing and esta blished constitution of their country.—(llear Mr. COATES had the greatest reluctance to say any thing that would appear for a moment to oppose any part of the resolutionsAaivrAlderman erm drawn expressingn ulpvbaoyo political t D h , e A Co t Committee; opinion,t e b a u n t d i t anotherwas o n e to t hing to claim it. thought the resolution un necessary altogether.

(Applause.) r. NVI es° x, , P., expreseed himself highly; gratified with the manner in which the Lord Mayor had introduced this busi. Donna. Anna de Cervaton was a most cele. brated woman in lier day; though she was greatly noted for her extreme beauty, her ta lents and love of literature caused her to he still more esteemed. In• the works of 14. M. Siculo, the Latin letters which he wrote to him are pre. nerved, and they would do honour to any autho r for their style and correctness. Donna Isabella de Joya, who lived in the 16th century, was a very learned woman. lt is re. Wed of her that she was accustomed to preach In a church at Barcelona to an extremely large congregation that flocked to hear her. In the pontifical reign of Paul 111. she went to Rome, and in the presence of the Cardinals explained. many difficult points of doctrine, entirely to their satisfaction. But what contributed the most to her fame was, that when in that capital she con verted a gredt number of Jews to the Catholic religion. Louisa Sigel', a native of Toledo, was deeply intimate with philosphy and belles lettres; she was likewise very clever in the knowledge of languages, being well acquainted with Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Syriac. She wrote a letter in these five different languages to Pope Paul 111. Donna Olivia Sabuco de Nantes, a native of Alcarez, possessed an enlightened iniod. She had a knowledge of physical science, medicine, morals, and politics, as her writings abundantly testify. But what contributed the most to ren der her illustrious, was her new physiological system, which was contrary to the notions of the ancients. She established the opinion, that it is not the blood that nourishes the body. This sys tem which Spain did not at first appreciate, was warmly embraced iu England, and we now re ceive from the hands of strangers as their inven lion what was strictly speaking our own.— Fatal genius of Spain 1 before any thing to which , thou givest birth can be deemed valuable, it must be transferred to strangers. It appears that this great woman assigned the brain as the only dwelling for a human soul ; in this opinion Des cartes afterwards coincided, with this differenc e only, that she conceived the whole substance of the brain to be the abode of the soul, and he con fined it to the pineal gland. The confidence of Donna Olivia, in her own opinion, was so great, and her determination in vindicating them io powerful, that in her dedicatory letter to the Count de Berajas, President of Castile, she en treated him to exercise all his authority among the learned naturalists and medical men in Spain, to convince them that their heresies were Innen aprove it. She flourished its the reign and e h ign of ip c i j o i td i t i l pL Donna Juliana Morella, a native of Barcelona, was a most learned woman. Her father, having committed homicide, was obliged to fly his coup. try. He took up his residence at Lyons, car. rying with him his daughter, and so great was her progress in literary pursuits, that, at the age of ten years, she dedicated a work, defending public discussions in philosophy, to Margaret of Austria, Queen of Spain. According to the uu thority of G. Patin, who lived at that period, she had a long dispute with the College of Je suits at Lyons, when she was only seventeen years old. She was intimately acquainted with philesophy, theology, music, and jurisprudence. She is said to have known 14 languages.—She belonged to the Dominican Convent of Avignon.
