BLOOMSBURY DISPENSARY.

Yesterday mentos the anniversmry festival of this excellent In-
etiolation, which.claimus for its object the relief of the sick poor, was
.-brated at the Freemasons' Tavern Oran Queen-street,
ifineatn's Inn-fields, when a company of the highest impectability
lileended, among whom we noticed Signor Jose Joachim Terceira
If Moire, President of the Portuguese Cortes Signer Carvallo,
fixtiginister of his Faithful Majesty; Signor Ferries Borges,
Catineeflor and Alember of the Cartes of Portugal ; General
Dim Ramaxin noway and hi. Aid-de-Camp; Omen] Mender de
Vigo, and several other foreigners and persons of distinction.
After thesimb was removed. " NON Noble' was sung in ad-.
nimblest-fie by Meters. Fitnisilliam, Jolley, and Phillips; atter
watch the Chairman pro few. S. HOUGH Esq. rose to apologize
'for the absence of Sir C. S. HUNTER, HMI who was to have taken
'the chair, but unavoidable circumstances had prevented his lumi-
nesce. 'He regretted that the office of Chairman had net fallen into
abler hands. but would endeavour to perform his duty to their satin-
4ictisa.

The Kinsf" and other loyal toasts were then drunk, on which
the Secretary read the report of last year, which presented a moat
lliattedns account of the success of the Institution. It stated that
•stlie Institution afforded gratuitous assistance to afflicted individuals
at their own habissians,and rendered relief in sickness to many in.
elustriens families, who, from the severity of the times, have fallen

Song—" Valiant Bolivar."
Sir J. MACa IN TO!, it said, that at considerable inconvenience to
himself on the score of health, he had made a point of attending
.
the present company, for the purpose ofjoining in paying his tri-
bute of respect and welcome to the distinguished stranger now pre-
sent, and whom he hoped shortly to have the satisfaction of ad-
dressing as the recognised Minister of the Government of Colom-
bia. From the flea commencement of the struggle for liberty in
South America, he had felt the warmest interest in its progress.
He had viewed it as a contest against the grossest system of tyran-
ny ever imposed on man ; • system by which the kingdom falsely
called the parent state, sought to exclude the innocent inhabitants
of those extensive regions from the benefit of common intercourse
with the rest of the civilized world, refusing to them the enjoyment
of the common rights of humanity, and depriving them of all the
most valuable attributes and advantages of social life. In such a
cause he never could feel otherwise than sincerely attached, and it
had always received his willing though humble support. He con-
sidered the establishment of the independence of South America as
an event calculated to exercise • powerful influence on the interests
of the world at large. 4n the praise bestowed on the great leader
of the South American cause by his Honourable Friend near him
(who was peculiarly qualified to characterize such persons), he en.
tirely concurred, and he trusted that the day was not far distant
when that great man would see, in the recognition of the indepen-
dence of his country by Great Britain, the reward of all his la-
bours. He was about to propose to the company the health of
the distinguished individual on whom it had devolved, in the
absence or the President from the seat of Government, to ad.
minister for a considerable period the functions of the executive.
His conduct had been marked by great talent and activity, a strict
adherence to the principles of the Constitution, and a zeal fur the
public welfare, which had shown itself in nothing more useful than
in the anxious desire he bad manifested, and the means he had
taken, for promoting the education of all claws throughout the Re-
public. Knowing how much the spread of intelligence throughout
the community tended to secure the bundatione of public liberty,
the Vice-President of Colombia conceived that he could in no way
so effectually perfect the esmblishment of those institutions on
which they relied for the future prosperity and improvement of the
country, as by giving every facility to the general extension of
knowledge. The enlightened stranger who was now present, would
see its this company • happy instance of the teal of our own free
institutions, where individuals differing in their respective opi-
nions and pursuits, were always found ready to meet and te
with tech other, for the general advancement of the interests of man-
kind. Ile concluded by proposing the health of " General
Santander, Vice-President of the Republic of Colombia."
Dr. LI: till I NC. T 0 N said he rose with peculiar pleasure on the
present occasion, to met to the company, as a toast, the " Con-
greats of Colombia. That body had entitled themselves to the gra.
'nude of their own countrymen by the wisdom of their deliberations.
" seal powerfully recommended themselves to the respect of the world
at large, by +hewing that in the midst of the many cares that must
have linseed upon them, in the organization of an infant state, they
had not forgotten the claims of sufFering humanity. The means by
which the Congress of Colombia had provided for the certain ex-
tinctien of slivery throughout the republic, were no less creditable
to their WiStlolll titan their humanity: without operating any vio-
lent or sudden change, or invading private rights, they had, by a
gradual, but most certain meets, now in active operation, secured I
the entire cessation of slavery within the present generation. The
cause of independence in South America had peculiar daimon
die sympathy of Englishmen ; and front the circumstances of the
struggle for that independence having first been excited by English
mean*. Proclsmatinne were industriously circulated throughout
the Spanish Main, by the direction of the British Government,
containing the most unqualified assurances, that whenever the in.
habitants of those countries should he disposed to throw off the
oppressive rule of Spain, they might rely on the most effectual and
unlimited assistance Crow the navy of this country. They acted
on this invitation ; but, unhappily for then,, when the time ar-
rived at which they had to call for the performance of our part of
the contract, n change in our policy haul taken place. Our rela-
tions with Spade avec chnaged--and haring excited them to the
battle, we left them to continue it single-handed. Every body
must feel that this circumstance gave the inhabitants of Colombia'
• powerful claim on our friendship and good wishes. He was re- I
joked that the Colombians were now in the possession of a Con.
stitution thinned on that principle, by which alone rational liberty
could be sustcined--the giving to the people • proper control in
the election of their representatives. Ile concluded by peoposing
the " Congress of Colombia."
Mr. IL hattAw said, that after the powerful and eloquent manner
in which the company had been addressed by the three last Hon.
Gentlemen who had spoken, it would be presumptuous in him to
attempt to detain them at any length. The popular feeling in this
country towards South America was most ardent.. It had gone be.

Mr. Pow LES said, that t t those who had been is the habit of di-

IRISH EQUITADLIC LOAN COMPANY.

iritoat • CORAESPONDENTA
A very intereatiog petition will be presented this evening to Par-
liament, in favour of the Equitable Loan Hank Company of Ire-
land. The promoters of this measure calculate on the influx of no
less a sum than tiOo,oilo/. British capital, backed by 400,11691. Irish
capital, for the relief of the poor and labouring deism of Ireland.
The appropriation of such a sum to such a purpose, is surely an
object most desirable and necessary.
The want of capital in Ireland is the great, or rather one of the
very great evils of which that country has hitherto complained
and if that evil can be removed by the incorporation of the present
' Company, without injustice to, or improper interference with,
established interest', it deserees es be regarded as a body of as-
tional benefactors. It is, moreover, useful and important, as esti-
, Wishing • connection by which the further investment of English
capital jin Ireland will be encouraged and promoted. The per-
sons principally engaged in the formation of this Company strongly
rely for the countenance of the Legislature on a pledge given by
the Irish Parliament, that the present system should continue
only until relief could be afforded on more moderate and equitable
tense.

The present Company proposes far cheaper terms on the ground
of public Loth, and therefore consider themselves entitled to the
encouragement and sanction of the Legislature. It must be ad-
mitted that great extortion sad great oppression at present prevail
in matters of loan. Remove that extortion, and substitute a more
satisfactory mode of loan, and doubtless a great good will be sf-
fected. if the mode suggested by the new Company can effect so
desirable an object, it has our earnest wishes for its success. The
Company propose to give relief at the rate of half the interest at
which loans are now made. This is a prima fucie caw at least of
great public advantage.

While we were in the coach the deceased said to me that be was

body wound, and asked him where the second was, lie mphsd,
" I have a wound in my aide and a 'mutat In my heart; but

net them. as John and George work for their hying, and I moot
able to do so, oa account of a severe rupture." The deceased end
no more till he got to the Hospital. Mrs. Gregory, whes
reached the Hoepttal, came down front the coach-box, and said to
the deceased, w Don't say how it Implied ; say you fell pa
something, and upon a knife, and cut yourself."- Mr.
shook his head at this, and said to Mrs. Gregory, " I dm's ri
that story will do." The deceased was then put in the chide sad
crrried to bed in the Hospital. One of the Doctors asked his hew
he came by the wound, and he said, " My cruel son George his
stabbed me."
Ilerc lir. Allen desired the witness not to state a word of my
thing that had been said by the deceased against hissou, unless die
deceased, at the time, spoke under the impression that be maid
certainly die.]
The witness continued.---I saw his wound dressed, and called to
see him in the evening. His wife came up at the sante time. He
told us he felt somewhat better, bat he was very bad ; and be best
out crying. I told him not to fret, as one of the surgeons bad as.

serious. He said. "My cruel eon has subbed me, and lam sure
I shall die." Mrs. Gregory said, "It is your own fault; you were
always haggling and quarrelling with the children, and never could
be quiet—you struck
it.qe." " I declare to God !" replier: the
deceased, .* I never ed with the children—l never struck
George." All this time t deceased spoke under the positive im-
pression that he should not survive. "My dear," said he to hit
wife, " you don't know the rights of it. l'ou were up stain, but
I'll tell you, before my God and myself, and Mr. Marks. My son
William wanted some Mead and butter. when George mine to
breakfast. I told him I had cut him • thick round off a (pavan
loaf, and I thought that quite sufficient. I was standing by the
window, cleaning (witness bdieves) my son George's boots, which
you know I did every Sunday, well as the boots of all the rest ef
the children. George came towards the cupboard-door, with a case
Mite in hb hand, to cut care bread and butter for William. I said
to George, • You shall not cut him any.' George.esid be would. I
then tools him by the arm and shored him away front the door. He
then turned round from the place, and made and thought a violent
blow on niy side. I did not know I was stabbed. I then reek a
bog-haired broom, and ro doubt should have knocked him down,
as Molt very angry ; but as I struck it caught the line, and my hip
and thigh failing me, I fell down : upon putting my hand to my
ilia, I found it wet and bleeding. I said, •My God ! Gorge, you
have stabbed me; I shall die, and you will be hung. I then
crawled to the box outside the door in the shop, where Mr. Marks
found me. I neither struck George, nor gave him any other pto-
vocation than what 1 have stated."
Mr. Marks continued—George told tue, when I came from the
Hospital, how the dreadful circumstance had occurred. I said to
him, " In the name of God, George, how came you to do this rash.
act ?"—" I'm sure I don't know," said he; " I don't know what I
shall do; I did not do it intentionally. I made a run at my father
to strike him, but I did not know that I had • knife in my hand."
I advised George to go out of the way fora few days. He did not
icy a word about hi, father striking him; but said, " My father
shoved me, and I anted him, forgetting! had a knife in my hand."
Mr. Smith, also a next-door neighbour of the deeeaied, said.
that he had visited the deceased at the Hospital, but as what be
had heard Mr. Gregory mention was net accompanied by an as.
menials that he expected to die, Mr. Allen desired that it shall
not be taken down. Witness said that the deceased had spoken
well of the disposition of the prisoner, and that he mentioned, that
he should not have wondered if John, who was of • more turbu-
lent temper, had done him the violence. •• I forgive him," said
the deceased, " whether I lire or die; and I hope the law will for-
give bin."
Here three respectable persons asked Mr. Allen whether be
would hear what they had to say in favour of the character of the
prisoner, whom they, had known for a length of time, and who was
of an extremely mild and amiable temper.
Mr. A L LE N observed that their presence at another pier:tali& be
very requisite, but he had • duty to perform, to which testimonials
of character had no reference. He should feel it incumbent upon
Mm to commit the prisoner for wilful murder.
Mr. Allen then ordered that the prisoner should be brought up
on Ssturtlay, in order to be committed.

The defendants were tried at the last Lancaster assizes, before
Mr. Justice Holroyd, and found gu.ilty.

which it appeared that the office had a search-warrant to execute

ifoi'ds-
' Mr. BROVGHAW addressed the Court in mitigation of punish-
,' sent. The great poverty of the defendants having precluded them
from employing a second Counsel, he had but a very scanty and
imperfect outline of the evidence, and was, in a great measure,
obliged to rely upon what lie had imperfectly caught from the
I Learned Judge's notes that day in Court. But it was evident that
1 the principal wrong doers were not before the Court: they were
sailors. and had avoided justice by leaving the country. It was
tin evidence that eight or nine men, beakless the defendants,
had joined in the violence exercised towards the revenue officers.
Without such aid, it was manifest that these poor women
could not have inflicted the injury stated on the trial to have
been suffered by the officers. It was on his Lordship's notes
that the husband of the defendant. Mary Evans, kept • lodg-
-1 ing.house fur sailors, the management of which was entrusted to
his wife, whose absence would almost disable him from carrying
on his business. It appeared that this man, Hobert Evans, had
not only not obstructed the officers in their search, but actively
assisted them. This good conduct on his part entitled him to ex-
pect that the Court would mitigate the punishment of his wife.
Another ground of mitigation was, that she had been induced to
oppose the search because the officers * ished to open a chest belong-
ing to a sailor then abroad, who had left it in her cususly, and
therefore she supposed Itersell bound to protect it under all circum-
stances. The chest, when opened, contained nothing contraband.
The defendants were all exceedingly poor, and had suffered
considerably in consequence of being obliged to attend to re.
ceive the judgment of the Court, after which they would have
to find their way as they could back to Liverpool. Their
poverty had prevented them from filing any affidavits, but he
was informed that Mary Evans was the mother of ten children,
and Anne Innis of two, the eldest of whom was not three years of
age. Jane Matthews was the servant of Evans, and therefore in
some degree excusable. The other defendant, Cunningham, ac-
cording to the evidence, hail not been guilty of any violence. The
Learned Counsel therefore trusted the Court would take the eases
of the defendants into its mriciful consideration.

SC•RLETT. -----n
aggravation of punishment, disclaimed any
wish to press with seventy against the defendants; but he could
not suffer the conduct of Robert Evans to be urged in favour of his
wile, without one observation. It was in evidence, that, though
the husband had used no violence towards the officers, he, with
some others, were employed in removing something from the MOM
up stairs, while his wife, the defendant, was assisting in keeping
the officers below stain.
31r. Justice DAY LET, after the Court had consuhed, proceeded
to pass sentence. The defendants had been convicted of violently
smoking the revenue Amts. for the purpose of obstructing them
in the discharge of their duty ; and, looking at the existence, it am
impassible to doubt, that, whit the defendants wen detaining the
officers below, Robert Evans and some other persons were remov-
ing the contraband goods which the search warrant was issued to
secure. The Learned Judge earnestly admonished the defendants
not to continue in a course of lin which necessarily compelled them
to follow up one violation of the law by another. Considering the
part each defendant had taken in the assault, the sentence of the
Court was, that the defendants be imprisoned in the Castle of Lan-
caster, fur the following periods respectively :—Ann Innis, for six
calendar months; 31ary Evans, for four • and Elisabeth 3latthews,
and Jane Cunningham, for three; and ;hat Ann Innis, °tithe ex-
piration of her imprisonment, should enter into her own recog.
nuances in .IW., and find two sureties in 201. each, for her good
behaviour for live years; and that the other defendants should se-
verally enter into their own recognizance' for 501. each, for the same
ten=

The prisoners were then removed from the floor of the Cant.
Matthews and Cunningham burst into tears and wept loudly. The
others seemed to be not so much distressed.

THE ZING V. J•NES HOPKINS AND OTHERS.
This was an indictment against the defendants; eight in number,
for assaulting a revenue officer in the discharge of his duty.
It atipuired from the notes of evidence on the trial of the defend-
ant Hopkins, that the excise officer went to seise some cider, which
the defendants were drinking at a wake, in Worcestershire. It was
late in the evening when the seizure was attempted, and the odder
was beaten by the convivial party, who did not choose to be inter-
rupted by his unwelcome intrusion. All the defendants but Hop-
kins had pleaded guilty.
Mr. TAUNTOK prayed the judgment of the Court.
Mr. Rcssla I addressed the Court in midget* of punishment
for two of the defendants, on whose behalf an davit from the
Archdeacon of Worcester, as to their character, was read.
Mr. CARRINGTON reered for the other dsfezl= and
t urged that the lateness the hour in some degree their
misconduct. They had been merrymaking, and perhaps even his
Learned Friend (Mr. Taunton) would not be disposid to suffer
very philosophically, an interruption of his enjoyments at ten o'clock
atnight, after the fatigue of a day on circuit. (A laugh.)
The Co t: aT sentenced the defendants to different terms of Im-
prisonment in consideration of the different features that Charm-
teiised their cues. Hopkins was ordered to be confined for three
months in the House of Correction at Worcester ; two others foe
two months each • and the rest for one month • and afterwards to
give security for their good behaviour in 401. each, and two Unties
in 301. each.

Mr. TarisTOW prayed the judgment of the Court on dal de-
fendant, who was convicted at the last Gloucester Assizes be riot-
ously assembling and proceeding to devastate the property of Sir
George Jemingfram.
The LOAD CIIIEF JUSTICE aakod, whether it would not oc-
cupy more time than the Court could spare that morning?
Mr. CAMPBELL, for the defendant, suggested that it would be
convenient to postpone judgment on this defendant until the other
defendant, 31r. Richard Stafford Cooke, who bad pleaded in abate.
merit that he was Baron Stafford, was tried. If a conviction was
obtained against him, one judgment only would be nectisary t but
he (31r. Campbell) had great hopes that ne conviction would be
obtained.

Mr. Taus Tow said that he was sure when the Report wasread,
the Court. would not make the postponement of judgment a matter
of compulsion or, the prosecutor, and he was himself of opinion,
that in justice to himself and the public, the prosecutor could
not consent to such an arrangement.
Judgment was for the present deferred.
At two o'clock the Cord Chief Justice withdrew.
No other business of importance was transacted.
