ASYLUM FOR TIIE DEAF AND DUMB.--The friends and supporters of this excellent Institution held yester day their Nineteenth Anniversary at the City of London Ta y ern . His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER pre sided for the 18th time, supported by Sir Thomas Turton, Sir Wm. Ashburnham, Sir Claudius Hunter, and many others of the first and fast friends of this Charity. The Canadian Chiefs were also present, and were'objects of much curiosity from the Peculiarity of their dress and appearance. They conversed very fluently in French, and were exceedingly communicative with all who were disposed to address them. After dinner the usual toasts were given, and the report was read by the Se cretary, which, notwithstanding a considerable increase of sub scribers, stated the funds to be inadequate to the relief of more than one-half of the claimants for a participation in the benefits of the Charity. The sums collected by donations amounted to six hundred and eight-two pounds. The children, male and fe male, were in the course of the evening paraded through the room, exhibiting their various performances in knitting, arithmetic, and penmanship. The spectacle was really a most interesting one. But the advantages of the Institution were chiefly deve loped by the delivery of some verses by one of its objects who had been taught to speak, and whose manner and action were very impressive. In the course of the evening the health of.the Canadian Chiefs was drank, who apologized for not returning their thanks by their ignorance of the language, but who volun teered to commute it by singing their National War-Song, which they executed much to the amusement of the company. —At ten o'clock his Royal Highness retired, but the company did not break up until a late hour. The Duke of Gloucester's military band attended, and contributed greatly to the enter tainment of the evening. WAYmARKET.--r-The, Farce of Turn Out, and The Beggar's Opera, were followed, last night, by a very diverting. Musical Afterpiece, entitled Youth, Love, and Polly. The piece is ton well known to require particular notice. The chief purpose was to introauce Mrs. lIUMBY as Ail nette. It is a sprightly character, and well cal culated to sheiv her talents. Her appearance as a little Jockey, with a hunting.cap and a pair of jockey boots, was well supported by the spirit of her performance. The Public are really indebted to the,Proprietor of this Theatre .for introducing agreeable an , actress to the London boards. The Farce was otherwise well supported by VINING, WILLIAMS, WILKINSON, and Mrs. T. HILL. Last night his. Royal-Highness the Duke of GLOUCE3TEIt, accompanied, by Colonel FOSTER, visited Drury-lane Theatre. It was late before they entered ; but they viewed the performance with evident gratification. Mr. Roniscuur.D was. near meeting, with a se rious accident yesterday evening. As his carriage was going towards Charing-cross, it was almost upset ; the coachman, and footman were thrown off the box. The latter is seriously hurt. A duel was fought yesterday morning on the parth of the Paddington Canal, near the bridge, in view of Chalk Farm, between Messrs. F—ft—s—R. and Co—R—T —E, in consequence of a dispute during the Play at the Haymarket Th e atre, on the preceding night, respecting a female. Mr. F., who is on the Staff, at half-pay, was severely wounded on the left side, but not dangerously, as the ball passed. Three new streets are now confidently talked of ; one uniting Tottenham-court-road with Waterloo-bridge, the second from St. Martin's Church to the British Museum, and the third from Fleet-market to the great North Road. ... NAVAL ANECDOTE.—In the reign of Queen ANNE, Captain HARDY, whose ship was stationed at Lagos Bay, happened to receive undoubted intelligence of the arrival of the Spanish galleons, under the convoy of 17 men-of-war, in the harbour of Vigo; and without any warrant for so doing, set sail, and came up with Sir G. Roos, who was the Commander in-Chief in the Mediterranean, and gave him such intel ligence, as induced him to make the best of his way to Vigo, where the whole fleet were captured or destroyed. Sir George was fully sensible of the importance of the advice he had re. ceived from Captain Hardy ; but after the victory, he ordered him on board the Admiral's ship, and with a stern coun tenance and harsh manner said to him—" You have done, Sir, a very important piece of service to the throne ; you have added to the honour and, riches of your country by your dili gence; hut do'nt you know that you are liable this instant to be shot for quitting your station ?---` He is unworthy of bearing a Commission under her Majesty,' replied the Captain, ' who holds his life as worth preserving, when the glory ! and interest of his Queen and country require him to hazard it.' On this heroic answer he was dispatched home with the first news of the victory, and letters of recommendation to the Queen, who instantly knighted him, and soon afterwards made him a Rear-Admiral. ' him l x h v lie u s l h d o t u a l k d e have t im el EPISCOPAL ANECDOTE.—Dr. WILLIA M LYONS, who in the latter end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was Majesty told pre ferred to the Bishoprick of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross, was originally Captain of a ship, and distinguished himself in several actions against the Spaniards. On bemgpresented to the Queen, after one attempted. ' the first vacancy that offered. The honest Captain under stooa t h e Queen literally, and soon after, hearing that into character , enjoyed above twenty years the See of Cork was vacant, set off for Court and claim ed the Royal promise.. The . Queen, astonished at the request, remonstrated but i;i i i e v r ain; he said the Royal word was of his gallant exploits, her Majesty said finding that he was a sober moral man, she sent forhim u and gave him the Bishoprick, observing, " She hoped he w e o would take as good care of the Church as he had done of the ate.

KING'S BIRTH' DAT.—Satllrdal being appoint ed for the celebration of his Majesty's birth-day, was observed• as a holiday at the banks and public offices, and a royal salute was fired from the Castle at one o'clock. It is with satisfaction we state, that owing to , the judicious arrangements of Cap tain .Robison, the streets on Saturday night were kept free of the tumultuous and unruly assemblages of idle per sons, who, on similar occasions, were wont to disturb the peace of the city. The usual " noisy demonstrations of joy," were also much to the comfort, as well as to the safety of the lieges, considerably• checked on this evening, the officers of police having very properly during the day, captured and con veyed to the head office several hundred pistols and cannons of all sorts and sizes. Besides a large and effective body of police, the high and extraordinary constables were on duty, but their assistance was fortunately not required.—( Edinburgh Courvnt, April 25.) GIBBON,—The celebrated GIBBON, notwitb standing his shortness and rotundity, was very gallant. Oae day being tete-a-tete with Madame de Cronzas, Gibbon wished to seize the favourable moment.; and suddenli droP. ping on his knees, he declared bis love in the most pas.' sionate terms. Madame de Cronzas replied in a tone likely .• to prevent a repetition of such a scene. Gibbon was thim der•-struck, but still remained on his knees, though fre.. quently, desired to get up and resume his seat.--." Sir," said Madame de C ronzas, "will you have the goodness to rise ?" a Alas, Madam !" replied the unhappy loVer, " r` . cannot !" His size prevented him from rising without assist.' ante ; upon this Madame de, Cronzas rang the bell, saying to the servant, " lift up Mr. Gibbon!" Signor CgnutTl, whose advertisement will- F.e found in our front page, has just arrived in town from where he has been for some time giving instruction io the Its• Tian Language with very great succes„ on the plan-of the cele. bratid BIAGOLI. We have visited his class, and were mush. pleased with the simple aid clear wayihwhich'hisinstrOction is conveyed. In the present day, when - languages are titughttj with such rapidity, it is something to meet with a man.-wiuspi without pretending to surmount hitherto insurmountable . obw!; stables, yet smooths the steep and. thorny paths to knowledge, , : , • - - It is said that the New Royal Academy to '‘)e, built on part of the present King'.

Archdtacon TnE'mil anti' A RTII UM KELLY, Esq., have been summoned by the House of Lords to attend their Lordships' Committee on the State of Ireland , Rlay 3, to be examined. _ _ The Archbishop of AItMAGII took thi. oaths and his seat in the House of Lords on Tuesday ; and he was afterwards sworn preparatory to being .examined before the Lords Committee on the State of Ireland. SLIGO.--At these Sessions the Rev. James Devens was put on his trial for an assault on Owen Neary, on the 3d of February. It appeared that he went into the house of a man named Carr, at Easky, when the Priest was per forming the ceremony of marriage—that after some time: he was asked by the priest for the Catholic Rent, when the prosecutor said he had no money. Carr's wife offered to lend some. Prosecutor replied, that he did not want it he could not contribute towards the Rent. The Priest then struck him on the face, and desired him to leave the house, which he did accordingly ; he used no disrespectful lan guage to the Priest. On the defence, an Irish witness was pro duced, who said he saw the Priest raise his hand, and put it on Neary's face, and desired him to leave the room. Neary was previously asked for the Catholic Rent, and said he would not. pay it.—The Jury retired for a considerable time, but not agree-. ing in their verdict, a Jaror was withdrawn by mutual consent. ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.--Last night a female, dressed in a superior style, was observed climbing•on the ba lustrades of Waterloo-bridge by some men, who were working at a wharf near the Savoy. She precipitated herself into the water, on which they made an alarm, and several-boats were put out to her assistance. After a short period she was re- . leased from the water in a senseless condition, and carried to Dr. Stanton's, in the Strand, where every assistance was rendered her, and she was soon restored to .her senses, when she cried very much, and appeared dreadfully de jected. She gave her name Amelia Somergill, but would not tell where she lived, more than that it was near Temple Bar, and that she had had a quarrel with a young man of her ac quaintance. After proper advice she seemed very contrite for the rash attempt she made on her life, and left the place with a promise to proceed home. FATAL A CCIDENT.—On the morning of Thurs. day week, the wife of Hugh Fleming, weaver, Williamsburgh, was found drowned in a well, situated in a field, near Gard:land Place, Paisley. The deceased accompanied her husband into town on the afternoon of the preceding day, and they both partook of some spirits with a friend in the course of the evening. A bout mid night as they proceeded homewards, the deceased, who possessed. rather a fretful temper, quarrelled with her husband, and declined walking with him ;—he, in consequence, went home himself, and retired to rest, leaving the door open, that his wife might obtain admission when she arrived. She did not, however, make her appearance that night, and next morning she was found dead in the well, with a piece of flannel which she had purchased in town in her arms. It is sup. posed, that owing to a natural defection of sight and the effects of the spirits, she had either fallen through the hedge or wan dered into the field, and had thus accidentally met with her death.—(Edinbigrgh Courant, April 25.) SHOCKING INFANTICIDE.--A shockink crime has been committed in the parish of Durleigh, near Taunton. The circumstances are as follow :—About a week since, 111 r. Parker, surgeon of that town, was sent for to attend a woman at Durleigh ; on his arrival he found her exceedingly ill, hav ing been very lately confined ; on being interrogated who at tended her, she said no one; and, on inquiring for the child, she stated that it was safely buried in the church-yard. This of course led to a further investigation by the parish officers, and the woman who came for the surgeon was taken into custody, but nothing could be elicited from her. The neighbours of the unfortunate woman stated that they observed, the day previous to this circumstance being known, a large fire, which was kept up for many hours in her house. On Sunday morning last she sent for the surgeon, and stated to him that she had not been happy in her mind since the horrible circumstance, and con fessed to him that she had actually burnt her child, which she said was dead born. No vestige of the infant has been disco vered, and it is supposed that it was reduced to-ashes by its un natural mother, who affirms that no other person was present at the transaction.--( Cheltenham Journal of Monday.
