PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY. 9n Saturday the First General Meeting of the British Grie f and Foreign Philanthropic Society, for the permanent a r t _er of the labouring classes, was held at Freemasons' Hall, ~, 'lt Queen-street. The attendance though not very crowded, as highlyi al respectable. Several ladies graced the Meeting their presence At on • W illi e o'clock the Earl of Blesinton, Lord Torring•ton, Sir Wil li a m de Crespigny, Mr. Coke of Norfolk, Mr. William T. I Le thbridge, M.P. Mr. Maxwell, M.P. Mr. Owen of Lanark, Sir t ra .',lbridge, and several other gentlemen entered the room. oltrtrirwroN was called to the Chair. !!e Lad of BLESINTON opened the business of the day , by tatinf;h a ed, that as one o f t h e M em b e rs of the Committee, the duty evolved upon him of reading the Report; which after some he to observations e stated the obligations which the Committee th e , t° Mr- Owen of Lanark, for his liberal communications to the,.7. l T ) n the subject of his arrangementsthey add that ( 10 net embrace the whole of this gentleman's prc.posi e,_dohs" It then sets forth the inducements for embarking in the —lst, The security which it offers to landlords for the pay nieht of rent. 1 tendency to diminish the poor-rates.— b ll a r e 4 e s'ulatarry sessing the means of furnishing the most valuable uctions With the least possible labnir, and yet so regulating and demand as that the.producer and consumer will in a e t T a ily benefited..--4th, That the habits and education pro kkiet viii offer the best security against the ordinary evils of cipi e The formation of working communities upon the prin "-` Mr. Oven's plan is then strongly recommended upon of e states of the l a nd ow ners; and the maxim that " the powers ti o a n c , , °4 ununity are increased by combination and s kilful direc forcibly urged. 4 `-t .1 & ol Be d Lail of BLESINTOV then moved that this Report be lt Ale al tioo AXIvE en, M.P. for Renfrewshire, seconded this mo th and avowed himself to be own of those who thought that ti: e c i al .. amities of vice-and misery ich befel such large por the",„uf,the community, might • in a'great degreebe Obviated, by in g I'llueation of it better system of management to the exist condition of society.

His Royal Highness the Duke of YonN and his Staff, and their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of DENMARK, were present, with upwards of sixty of the most distinguished Mili tary Characters of the empire, as well as the Foreign Ambassa ders and his MAJESTY'S Ministers. After the cloth was removed, and the ices had gone round, thd Serjeant-Major of the Royal Hussars, assisted by another Serjeant, entered the room, bearing his Majesty's present, 'whilst a flourish of. trumpets sounded, and a more superb tro phy was certainly never seen than his Royal gift, to an old and favourite corps. The height of this piece of llate is about'two feet and a half, and it is composed of three figures, represent ing Courage, Honour, and Victory. On the three sides are the King's Arms, surrounded with laurel ; and above them,' on one of the sides, is the following inscription :-- " The Gift of his Majesty King George IV. to the 10th (or Prince of Wales's own) Royal Regiment, which he com manded from the year 1793, until his accession to the Throne." On the other side is the badge of the Regiment, with the words, " Peninsula," " Waterloo," 44 Morales." And on the third side are the names of the Battles in which the Regiment was engaged during the late war—" • Bene vente,l' " Carmine," " Morales de Toro," " Vittoria," " Orthes," " Toulouse," " Waterloo." The whole is siermounted by a Figure of his Majesty stand ing on a fluted column, in imperial costume, with a truncheon in his right hand . , and a wreath of laurel on his head. When the Seryeant-Nfajor had placed the plate on the table, Lord Stewart rose and ace:tressed the Officers of the Royal Hus sars, who 111 stood up, as allows " OFFICERS OF THE BOYAL,HUSSARS, • " It is my duty state to you the commands which have been laid upon me by our gracious Sovereign and Royal Master. " His Majesty has commanded me to present to the Corps of Officers in his name, for their Mess, the splendid piece of plate which is now before you, in commemoration of the paternal solicitude and anxious care which the King personally devoted to the Regiment, froth the year 1703, until his accession to the Throne. " His Majesty . further commanded me to convey to you the expressions of his constant affections and interest, not doubt ing you will 'preserve that high reputation which. the Regi ment, under his Majesty's especial command, has so pre-emi nently obtained. lam aware much more might be said on the present occasion, but. my feeling is, that I could not add any thing so strong, as the sentiment of the Sovereign and the me rit of the Corps which has cai.Zeei it forth • and I shall only therefore add a fervent prayer, that this mark of his Majesty's gracious favour may . descend to the Aildren's children of the .Regiment, a memorial alike of the interest, affection, and mu nificence of the Monarch, and of the conduct, character, and reputation of the Corps." This Speech was received with the loudest acclamations, and his MAJESTY'S health was drunk amidst loud buzzes, the band playing God save the King and the company standing. Sonic time afterwards, and just as the Ladies were about to retire, Lord STEWART rose, and in a very elegant and neat, address, begged in Lady STEWART'S name, to present the Royal Hussars with two soup tureens which were then brought in, intended, as his Lordship said, to commemorate the flatter ing distinction conferred upon him by his Majesty', in ap pointing him his successor to the Colonelcy of the. Regiment, and as a tribute of grateful feeling from Lady Stewart for the kindness and attention she had received from the corps at Brighton.. The gift was received with loud cheers, and her Ladyship's health drunk with three times three, and the loudest applause. His Royal Highness the Dnke of York did not retire before half-past eleven, and we never saw him in higher spirits. • On Friday the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester gave a grand dinner to the Prince and Princess of Denmark, and Prince Fre derick of Holstein, who has lately arrived in England. The Prince and Princess of Denmark and Prince Frederick of Holstein were at the evening-party given on Wednesday ' evening by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, in hon Our of the Princess Sophia Matilda's birth day. On Saturday the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester had a numerous dinner party. The Earl of Jersey entertained the Duke of Devonshire and a distinguished party, on Saturday, at his house in Ber keley-square. The Duke of Sussex entertained a large party at dinner yes terday at Kensington Palace. The Marchioness of Londonderry's party, on Saturday, after the Opera, was attended by the Prince and Princess of Den mark, and a large party of distinguished fashionables. The Earl of Blesinton entertained the Marquis of Lansdown and a large party at dinner yesterday, at his house in. St. James's-square. Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Taylor entertained the Earl and Coun tess of Seftori, and a distinguished party, at dinner yesterday, at their house, Whitehall-yard. The Earl of Mansfield had a dinner party yesterday at his house in Stanhope-street. The Countess of Essex's party on Saturday, in Hill-street, Berkeley-square, was very elegantly attended. The Hon.

I Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Den mark will leave town to-morrow, on a visit to his Majesty, at the Royal Cottage, in Windsor Great Park, where they will re main during the races. ROYAL BIRTHS.—The two Princesses, Consorts of the In fants Don Carlos and Don Francis Paulo, brothers to the King of Spain, were deliv i ered of two Princes, on the 13th and 15th of last month, at Arranjuez. THE PARK AND KENSINGTON GARDENS.—The fineness of the day produced an immense influx at the different gates about four o'clock. The cavalcade of elegant - equipages was never excelled. The Prince and Princess of Denmark were in Hyde Park, but escaped notice,_ being in a private carriage. Owing to the heat and dust, Kensington Gardens were much resorted to ; and the Long Walk or Terrace, next the Serpentine River, was the gay promenade. Here fashion was exhibited in all its varied costume ; nothing seen except chequered silks of a garter blue upon a light ground. The small bonnet is now the mark of gentility, with white or yely low ostrich feathers.—Names would be needless; for ever body of note was there. POETRY. ELEGIAC TRIBUTE • TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE JEREMIAH TAYLOR, Ssq. Oculist to His Majesty, and Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, &c. EnoTura farewell ! to all who knew thee dear ! Thy various merits, illlrewarded here, Are gone for endless recompense above, To share the blessings of Almighty Love. On Earth, with awful reverence be it said, Thy course, through life, averse to vain parade, Was still to prove thyself, with God-like aim, " SIGHT to the BLIND," and " feet unto the Lame." The Rich no servile homage found in thee, Distress was always a sufficient plea, Whether from want or sickness, thou wert still Prompt to relieve, with charity or skill, And whatsoe'er thy pity could impart, Was the full tribute of a glowing heart. Decay was gradual, but thy pangs severe, Yet borne through all with no unmanly fear, Though sage Experience gave thee pow'r to know That Death was hov'ring with th' impending blow ; While, like a Saint, to train thee for the sky, Thy. Sister with consoling balm was nigh, Who, watchful o'er thee, at each look and tone, Forgot herself, and felt for thee alone. Oh ! what a mental store wad lost in thee ! Solid with humour, with discretion free, With learning not to pedant rules confin'd, But well-digested in a pregnant mind, A.temper that would_ne'er offence provoke, But rous'd indignant at an offer'd stroke, A heart with ev'ry generous feeling fraught, Judgment that well for counsel might be sought, In truth by Nature form'd, but cross'd by Fate, Who else had honour'd a superior state. Such wert thou 'Ong my Brother,—earliest friend, And I, alas, yet live to mourn thine end!! HOPE, Ireav'nly Hope, alone can sooth my pain, .Who,'softly breathing her seraphic strain, Points, to a better world, where we shall meet again. THE THEATRES. KING'S THEATIIE.-The splendid female attire which appeared at the, recent Grand Ball in this Theatre was again exhibited on Saturday last, at the representation of 11 Barbiere de Siviglia, and the Muse displayed an abundance of beauty, elegance, and fashion. Mademoiselle,• • CINTI made her second appearance in Rosina. She acted with simplicity and sung with taste. Her voice, however, at present, does, not appear for cible enough for the great area of this Theatre. ZuccIIELLI exerted himself with great spirit in Figaro ; but . his humour has not the easy flow so observable in AMBIIOGETTI. PAUL bounded with his usual. agility, and both of the ballets went off with great applause. COVENT-G Aunt:N.—The . Comedy of The Jealous Wife was represented on Saturday at this Theatre, for the benefit of Mrs. DAVISON, but not so . profitably as her professional merit might well, entitle her to expect. Mr. YOUNG gave importance to Oakley, - as far as importance can be attached to. a character of such conjugal subserlience. In consequence of , the indisposi tion of Mr. C. KEAIBLE the part of Charles was assigned to a Mr. HALL. The passionate and watchful' jealousy of Mrs. Oakley was given with admirable Spirit by Mrs. DAvisON, and the Comedy received the applause which its high. dramatic merits deserved. MR. ELLISTON AND THE CRITICS. The following observations respecting an Actor of great merl4, in both provinces of the drama, and who has shewn an enterprising spirit in the service of the public, by undertaking the arduous duty and' hazardous responsibility of such an extensive and complicated concern as that of Drury-lane Theatre, deserve the notice of our Readers. We have taken the article from that interesting and elegant periodical work, The Ladg's Magazine, &c. &c., for May, ] 89.2 : " The adventurous lessee of Drury-lane Theatre appears to us so unfairly treated by a large portion of the press, that we cannot help briefly entering our protest against the mode of attack perpetually directed against him. Not only arc his efforts as an actor criticised with peculiar severity—not only is the general management of his theatre made the theme of in discriminate censure—but every petty tale which can be col lected from the green-room or the treasury is repeated by writers who usually disdain to feed the gross appetite for pri vate scandal. Surely this is neither manly nor fair. No human being, perhaps, is placed in a situation of more delicacy, or which must necessarily attract a greater share of odium, than the sole manager of a large theatre. No one who has not been ,admitted behind the scenes can form any conception of the jea lousies which he has to assuage ; of the differences which he must soothe, if he cannot reconcile; of the points of prece dence which he must adjust before he can produce any piece worthy of the patronage on which he depends for existence. Those animosities, which are concealed in other professions by etiquette or by policy, rage in full luxuriance in a scene where there is little to restrain—where personal vanity sharpens the dictates of interest, and where the very love of the art which inspires excellence, incites also the bitterest envy. Thus per petually worried by domestic contests, the manager is also as sailed by the race of poets—by the solicitations of imagined Roscii panting for applause—and the recommendations of lordly patrons, who insist on ' the engagement of performers who are of no use,. and on the representation of pieces duly prepared for damnation. When, in addition to all these diffi culties, a theatrical proprietor is chilled by empty benches, and his means are reduced by the failure of his treasury, surely it is not very generous to seek for every calumnious tale ; to mag nify every little failing . ; to take part with every discarded scene-shifter, whose merits have not been appreciated with due regard. For our own parts, we cannot think of all that Mr. Elliston has done for the public, without cherishing towards him some gratitude and sympathy. He has made a noble ven ture for our advantage; he has kept open the oldest of our theatres, under evil report and good report, and amidst great reverses of fortune ' • and he has thus prevented a monopoly from being.enjoyed by Covent-Garden, which would be most detrimental to the interests of all professors and lovers of the drama. To dwell on the conventional exaggerations of his play-bills; or to set down all the speeches which he occa sionally makes from the stage in a note-book, is scarcely fair, while his merits are forgotten. He is evidently actuated by an ardent love for his profession, and seems native and endued to the very element of the theatre. His spirit of enterprise; the strong hope which nothing can subdue ; the sense of enjoy ment which enables him to spread around him so much •plea sure, should a little excuse some trifling excesses, if such have been, which naturally attend these felicitous qualities. For ourselves, we can only say, that while he retains the most in tense and fervid of living tgedians—the richest comic actor within our memory—and the first of English singers, and while he preserves his own cordial, hearty, and undaunted spirit, we shall do our best to prevent the scene of old joy, over which he presides, from being made desolate by the efforts of toe malignant or the thoughtless." The Dublin Freeman, of the 30th last, states that letters were received from Mr. HENRY HARRIS, on the preceding day, and that he was in perfect health and spirits. THE ARMY. GRAND REVIEW AT HOITNSLOW At an early hour on Saturday, mbrning„ the roads leading-from every point of the compass towards the centre of attraction, were literally covered with equipages of all descriptions, amongst which we noticed many belonging to persons of the first distinction. Nothing could exceed the gay and brilliant scene which was every where presented to the eye. Every thing bore the appearance of the celebration of some public festival ; and what added considerably to the brilliancy of the spectacle was, the circumstance of the windows of all the houses in the villages through which the throng passed being filled with elegantly dressed females, who had assembled to greet the expected Royal cavalcade as it passed. Unfortu nately, his MAJESTY did not appear, and thus much mortifi -cation and great disappointment was experienced. The re view, however, did take place,, not by his MAJESTY, but by his Royal Highness the Duke'of Yonx ; and, perhaps, on no former occasion did HounsloW Heath present a more splendid assemblage of rank and fashion. • At nine o'clock the Ist and 2d regiments of Life Guards, the Royal Blues, the 10th Hussars, the 14th Light Dragoons, the 15th Hussars, and a small brigade of artillery, came on the heath. Their dresses and appointments appeared to be all new ; and their state of discipline, condition of cattle, and ge neral appearance, v. as of the highest order. About twelve his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON and by a few other Officers of distinction, arrived, and rode slowly on the ground. The Prince and Princess of DEN mARK had previously arrived on the ground in a plain private carriage, drawn by four post horses. The carriage was placed in front of the line, behind the spot on which the Commander-in-Chief afterwards took his station to view the troops. His Royal Highness the Prince of DENMARK, who was dressed in a dark green coat, with a star on his left breast, and who, in appearance, is not much unlike the - Duke of YORK himself, mounted his chargertc7ind rode on the right of the Duke during the close inspection of the regi ments which followed. He appeared highly delighted with the J appearance of the men, and made many observations on the elegance of their costume. - The Commander-in:Chief having passed along the front and rear of the line, surrounded and followed by a very numerous Staff and an incalculable number of horsemen, proceeded to the j station we have already described, which was considerably in advance of the carriages. The whole of the regiments, in the first instance, passed the Commander-in-Chief in divisions, in ordinary time ; they after wards passed in single file, and snbsequently in divisions, at full gallop. Nothing could exceed the precision with which j these movements were made. A series of fourteen different mi litary manoeuvres followed, exhibiting various modes of attack and defence, both on the part of the heavy and light dragoons, which included charges in line and by squadrons ; advances and retreats, changes of position, and in fact every thing which could afford the spectators a notion of the operations of such troops in the field of battle. Skirmishers were thrown out, who discharged their pieces as if at an approaching enemy ; and what added greatly to the identity of the scene, was the spirited and active operations of the brigade of artillery. We were happy to observe, notwithstanding the astonishing rapidity with which some of the movements were made, that not a single man was unhorsed ; nor did we hear of any accidents to throw a damp on the pleasures of the day. In conclusion, the whole of the troops formed in line, and advancing in front, gave a grand salute, the artillery being repeatedly discharged on the j right and left flanks. The utmost credit is due to the officers of the day for the zeal and accuracy with which they performed their respective duties. The whole brigade was under the comman&of Lord CATHCART ; Sir ROBERT Him. commanded the heavy, and Lord EDWARD SOMERSET the light dragoons.

(Cr CULA R. ) War-office, Department of Accounts, May 28. SIR—It having been found that the provisions of the 26th Section of the Mutiny Act, relative to the subsistence of men whilst in a place of military confinement by sentence of a Court Martial, have not been generally understood, I am di rected by the Secretary at War to acquaint you, that men so situated forfeit all right to pay and allowances, and no charge, on account thereof, ought to be made, except under authorities obtained from this Office. In order, however, to obviate the necessity of application in each individual case, Lord Palmerston has been pleased to sanction a charge in the Pay List for men imprisoned in places of military confinement, not exceeding the rate which is granted by the Section above quoted, to gaolers for the main tenance of soldiers confined in prisons or Houses of Correction, the amount thereof to be fixed by, and expended under the orders of the Commanding Officer ; and, in each case, a state ment, certified by him, is to be annexed to the Pay List in support of the charge. Officer commanding 1 I have, &c. Regiment of . . .. j (Signed) LAU. SULWAN. (CIRCULAR.) War-office, Department of Accounts, 1822. SIR—It having been represented to me that Soldiers on Fo reign Service are often desirous of sending money to this country for the use of their families and friends, but that con siderable difficulty is experienced in affording the means of so doing, I have the honour to acquaint you, that with a view to afford facility to the soldier to make such remittances without loss or risk, the Regimental Paymaster may deduct from the total of the expenditure in the Regimental Pay List the amount of whatever remittances may be wished to be made, specifying the names of the men, and the sums for each, in the sheet appropriated for " Sums Deducted." A separate me morandum for each man, having the signature of the Com manding Officer or the Captain of his Company, directing the appropriation of the sum he has allowed, is to be transmitted to the Regimental Agent ; and when, in addition to this voucher, the Agent shall have obtained the receipt of the per son to whom the money was sent, the amount will be admitted as a charge in the Agent's accounts. Officer commanding ) I have, &c. the Sierra Leone Papers to the 12th of March have been received. On the Ist of February the Iphi genia, bearing the flag of Commodore Sir R. MENDS, entered the Gambia River from Eng land, and anchored off the new settlement of Bathurst, where the Commodore landed, and examined the rising oolony, with great satisfac tion at its rapid improvement. The supply of wax and hides from the interior had been CODSi-, derable, but in the gold trade the increase had been pre-erniuently conspicuous. On the 16th of February the Iphigenia reached Sierra Leone, and Sir ROBERT 'MENDS assumed the chief naval command on the station, as successor to Sir GEORGE COL AER. On his way from the Gambia, Sir ROBERT dispatched a,strong party of seamen and marines, in the Iphigenia's boats, for the pur pose of searching the Bissagos and Rio Grande for slave vessels; and this measure appears to have been attended with no small success, for, on the 2d of March, a Portuguese vessel, with 175 slaves actually on board, was brought in, having been captured, after some contest, by the boats of the Iphigenia.
