The Eighteenth Annivers-of of this Benevolent Institution
▪ s held yesterday, at the City of London Tavern :
The Right Honourable the Loan Matron in the Chair.
After the removal of the cloth. and Non Noble Domine,
The CMAIRMAN proposed " The King," which was received
• by the company with the deepest expense:nit of enthusiasm, the
tried at the some time playing the National Anthem.
The Loan MAYOR then rose and !observed, that he would take
that opportunity of proposing a toast, far which, he was quite
-convinced, be need not solicit their attention—it was sufficient
fur him merely to mention the name of their Noble President,
to ensure that expression of enthusiasm and attachment which
the c tiraeble character of his Royal Highness was so eini.
neatly calculated to call forth. They all knew how indefatigable
the noble Duke was in giving his countenance aid support to
these numerous charitable Institutions which formed the grace, or.
natnent. and honour of this great metropolis ; they were well aware
that his Royal Highness attended city ost daily to the promotion of
•Soestica whose great object was to alleviate the suffering.; and
to improve the moral habits of the community; and he (the
`Lard Alarw) might state to the Meeting, that had not his Royal
liiigerse been compelled to attend that evening at the Louse of
Leers. Ise would have done them the honour and the Institution the
kuntilii of presiding on the present occasion. His Lordship, after
:item more obeervations, proposed the health of the Duke of York,
which was received with enthusiastic cheers.
• Serig—" How userriiy we live that soldiers be."
't The Duke of Clarence aid the Royal family,' three times
three.—" Rule Britannia."
The Lorin MASoa then called the attention of the company to
the Institution for the support of which they were that day as.
:trembled. 'His Lordship ob.:erred, that the object of the Invite-
non was to provide a place of Refuge and Reformation for persons
who had been discharged from prisons or Lie hulks ; for unfortu.'
nate or deserted females, and others, who, though disposed to
porsbe honest employment, were usable to earn their maintenance
in consequence of the loss of character. The Institution had now
bre: established eighteen years, dtrieg which period it had &Tor&
ed, by the Permanent Estaeliehment, an opportunity to 1,800 per-
son' returning from the tweet of crin.e ankosisery to the peaceful
path of honour and virtue; and dories the Mme time a temporary
refugebed been given to more than one thousand redielduals, wbo
might, but for this seas: reeds relit!, have been driven late the
most abandoned courses. The mention of these facts nes,
ha felt soovieord, the bast recommendation of their charity,
as it was ifbrlalibl: to contemplate the 12tillt to the be.,
n.,-.• cf pure secrety of numbers of individuals, who, by the
only commission of offences, had been separated from it, without
giving oar rpprobatioo and support to the means by which sogreat
a good had been accomplished. The discipline of the Asylum, his
libdalio added, was, as experience had shown, eminently caleu.

Before Ovine( the toast with which he should conclude; be begged
to remake (bat the fends of the Institution required the exercise of
that liiersllty r,,t which the qty of London wan pre-eminently dis-
tinguished. He would now give—" Success to the Refuge for the
Destitsee." Three times three.
Sir Cereners ',Lorena, in proposing the health of the Lord
Maeor, congratulated the City on the possession of so able and en-
Iti;eSed a Chief Magistrate.
'lle tone wits rev; warmly received.
• The LORD MAYOR returned title ks for the honour done him.
He felt that he did not bring to the Civic Chairthat knowledge
and experience which was requisite to the due discharge of the
dries ef MS high station; bat this be could truly say, that be

The CRIAIRICA IT afterwards pooposed the health of " Sir C.

thanks. and adiacatee n.e clai=s of the Institution on On support

A handsome autecription was made at the meeting, which,
'bough not monstrous, was highly respectable.
