whirl lac etartiad Tire Defendant, who
had been s very poor 171.1.11, soon skewed symptoms
of wealth that :ed to saspiCson, and suspicion7led to
its real source. The Plaintiff, on bring informed of
it, tiled a bill to recover the 100 guineas, and the
Matter now came before die Court tor judgment.
The Loin s ncet.toa thought the case similar
to that of a hackney-coachman, who, if he found a
stranger's property in his coach, and refused to de-
liver it to the owner, would It: guilty of a felony.
The question was, therefore, whether it was a fe.-
lony or not. If a felony, he could grant no redress,
but must refer the matter to a Criminal Court.—
On the other hand, supposing it to be a subjeket for
his decision, he could not determine without some
farther enquiry, as to die owner of the money. He
therefore postponed the cause for his further con.si-
deration.

HUMANE socurr.

On Wednesday the Anniversary of the Royal
inniane Society was held at the London Tavern,
Bislinpsgate-street. Amidst tile vast multitude and
variety of benevolent and truly excellent institutions
which abound in the metropolis, no one offers such
high and universal claims to admiration and praise,
and consequently to countenance and support, as
this most valuable establishment. Whatever Import-
:nit objeCts others may embrace—and important they
certainly are ; however extuusis e and great the bene-
fits may be which they adually do produce to so-
ciety, when compared with those which distinguish
this 'charity, it neast be conlessed that their cowe.
quenee appears conside.raidf dieliai-bed. The very
highest ends which they, any of them, have in view is
the alleviation of human misery and wretchedness,
aid the ditinsion of comfort and happiness to those,
who, of themselves, cannot attain to them ; while
taus, at the same time that, in many eases, it succeeds
in healing the deepest wounds of afilietion, restores
even hfe ttseii ! To its praise no eloquence but that
strong though mute kind which pioeeeds from a
feeling and compassionate heart, can be competent.
It was with real pleasure we saw it so powiefilly
sanctioned on the present occasion. The company
was as large as the great room at the London Ta-
vern could conveniently accommodate, and of the
most respedahle kind. Among a number of other
personages of distinition, we observed the Bishop ca
Glocester, who preached the annual sermon before
the Society, and Lord Romney. Mr. Garrow was
the President for the evening. After the cloths
were removed, about five o'clock, the series of toasts
was begun with 46 The King," which was drank
with rapturous applause; to this succeeded some
other loyal and patriotic toasts, which we pass
over to notice one mare nearly cenneerted with the
ohjta of she ore-tin —" Prosperity to the Royal
Pentane Society," which was received with entliu-
si.utic applause. To this immediately succeeded a
scene the urea truly affeding, and which failed not
to nick the company into tears : About fifty human
beings, rescued from the hand of death by 'the ex-
ertions eat the Society, marched several times round
the room, in solemn procession, expressing by their
looks and demeanor their gratitude to a beneficent
Providence, and their thanks to the individuals who
had been the means of their deliverance. After they
had quitted :lie room, Mr. Garrow got up to address
the company.— lie be.:an by observing, that his
feeliags almost deprived %int of the pw.vcr of speech :
The—what should he call it ?-114: knew of no term
that could adequately convey whit he meant. The
exhibiting spettacle he had just witnessed, most pow-
eitn.sy urged him to propose, what, however, he
Was afraid was irregular ; but the irregularity of
which would, he trusted, be freely pardoned by the
ayuipathe;e: feelings of the company. The Prospe-
nr) i f the Society had lately been drank, and with
such ::oared eistinetion, as proved the high sense
every one had of its importance; if any thing had
bees tic led more deeply to impress upon their n:inds
its unspeakable value, it had just been afforded :
the appearance of ea large a number of our fellow.
creatures, preserved from a premature grave by the
means of this Society, evinced that its welfare could
not be too highly regarded What I mean to
propose," .-.intinucel he, " is, that the last toast be
drank once snore."—Mr. Gal row then gave 44 Pros-
pet ty to the Royal Humane Society ; and added, may
go on !tofu year to year to add strength to its funds,
and numbers to its Members; and may it be made
an instrument in the head of a beneficent Provi-
dence, to restore to us many of our fellow men and
feilnw suteas."
- - -

A great variety of other toasts were given in the
en: se of the evening ; and several glees and single
songs wire sung with much taste by Mr. Dignitm
others ; many di them very appropt iate. Pre-
vious to Mr. 1;m-row's leaving the Chan, which he
did a little after nine o'clock, he presented two ho-
norary premiums, one of them to a young Gentle-
wan for the movery of a most interesting young
Lady, who formed. one of the procession ; the cir-
cumstances of whose case we must, from motives of
tenderness and delicacy, forbear to mention.
From the report of Dr. Hawes, tn. a:five Trea-
surer oldie Society, and one of its Founders, it ap-
pears that the funds are in a flourishing state ; seve-
ral very handsome contributions having been lately
rece.ved. From the same Gentleman we learned
what must be gratifying to every breast, that in the
course of tie twenty-nine years the Society has been
established, it has been toe means of saving no fewer
than CV4.O TDOCSANUSLVEN HUNDRID AND NINE-
71r•EIGJIT LIVES! A number astonishing to con-
template. lle added, that as the means prescribed
by the Society were nee received into many fir
reign countries, tame was a fair prospea of its suc-
ceeding to a tar 'greater estent for the future.

The New Gliod Smiths
ef Lombardy, er tee Srerrt Nu.piAar, produced last
night at the Royal 1.....cm,,1was received with the
highest :14,;:vnatier.i ; it WAS atwounced tur the fifth
lame skis evtainit with unanimous applause. Mrs.
PA &IC I: 11, as Leal4a, did eye: y justice to the cliara-
ter that's possible. Tile house was most fashionably
attended.

A physician, ,who is wen known at the West-end
of the town, lately complained, that owing to the
camber of servants in a Nobleman's houwhold, he
was unable to procure the refreshment ordered for
