preliminary observations. lie meant to give. " Prosperity to the

three t inics three, " Prosperity to the Smithfield Club." Sir John
Sebright theo said, that the company would row proceed to the
fut.iness of the day, which was most gratifying in its nature, viz.
the i.rrardirg of the prizes to the succesaful candidates who had

Her Grace :he Duchess of Rutland had requested that a similar
cup which 100 l been presented to her last year might be given to
her, and which the Stewanl attended to tmeive. The cup was
shown to the company, and was very handsomely embossed.
Sir J. SF.O T then rose to propose the heath of the Judges
of the Cattle, on whom he said a very arduous and delicate duty the.
volved. for they had to deride among many conflicting interests,
and though it was certain that many would be dissatisfied with the
decisions, yet all impartial •,ersons must admit that the Judges hal
acted with a degree of hoaour that reflected credit on them, and it
appeared from the Coninfiftee. that they were unanimous on every
, occasion in their decision which was a strong argument of their
NA:Auntie.

Hr. lIEC LT returned thanks.
Mr. lost: tr rose to propose the health of Sir Jahn Sebright,

Sir Jon); 8111111 I GIIT, in returning thanks, said, that he did not
&acme the very handsome flier t ion that had been made of him ;
what he had dour he had done from • feeling of duty, and he sin.
errely trusted that the Smithfield Club woald inerense in iIIatICACI,
in wealth, and in prosperity, on he erne convinced that the agtieul.
tural intent was the tivan-stay of the empire, and the breed of
r .ttle the main point in the arrieultural interest. He said this
without nteatting to undervalue the manufacturing interest, as he
assured, that without union between the two, the country could
rot go on ptooperously. l!e begged leave to return his sincere and
P.;:atfellt thanks to the company for the man.,er in which they had
dark his health.

SeTM! ether liVal roars were gi•en, and the convir.ality of the
meeting was kept up. till a late hour. The dinner was of a very
gisid tinier, and the wines erectlent. ?lure were assembled about

the proceedings.

MEETING OF 7'HE FRIENDS OF POOR
ORPHAN CATHOLIC CHILDREA:

Yesterday evening the anniversary festival of the above laud-
able Institution was celebrated it the Freemasons' Tavern, lireat
Queen-street, Lincoln's when a numerous and highly
" able company attended.
Irtf:in tdclnek the company sat down to a sumptuous entertain-
mem t the Rev. Mr. Welds in the chair, supp.srted by the Rev.
Dr. (Alin, the Itev. Dr. Bramaton, anti rental persons of
distinction.

Aria the cloth was removed, " Non A'et,:a Dow:isle" was sung
by Moist,. Pyne, Ouitchard, and other pr.4,nsional geatlemea;
when the usual toasts wcre drunk.

The Report was then read, which stated. that when they
last had cieeasien to appeal to the benefactors of the Charity
the resources were at the lowest ebb, white the claims upon
their exertions were numerous and fircible. Still they did not
despond ; their confidence in a liberal public was unshaken, and
the event bad fully answered their expectations. From persons
unknown they had continued to receive those charitable dons.
dons which had before been alluded to, and now amounted to
a considerable sum. From the Earl of Shrewsbury they had
received a donation of 601.; with this assistance, the proceeds
of their annual Sermons, tied other donations durirg the pass
year, the Committee had not only been ennbled to receive a
greater
u number of orphans, but also to pr-cure a must eligible
for the male orphans, contiguous to the school. This
arrangement they coneidered was absolutely neceoary but had
caused a serious diminution of their funds, leaving a balance due to
the Treasurer. Through the generous support of their am-
tributors. forty-two orphan children had been rescued front
-ice and mistrY, and fourteen boys tool nine girls would,
in the course of the evening, stand before them, to return,
by their happy countenance., their elopent, though silent thanks,
fur their generosity and kindness towards them. If these inter-
esting objects were permitted to addle.s them, they. would err-
-13411,1 implore their kind protectors to think on the miseries from
which they had preserved them s—from the pestilential rectories. the
graves of thousands of poor childrin—from the dangers attendant
on ignorance, the sad parent of %sc. ; to think on the blessing
which they had bestowed upon them, kreping them to the faith of
their ancestors, and rendering them many other benefits which it
was unnecessary to explain to those who knew and felt the neon.
site of protecting the poor and solitary orplion.
The CUM allAs rose, and in pruposug the health of the Rev.
Dr. Poynter, he regretted that indisposition had caused his absence
that evening. lie was well aware that the good wishes of that
worthy Prelate were with them.
The Rev. Dr. Da•MSTON proposed the health of the Chairman.
What could be more pleasing, said the Rev. Gentleman, than to
view an individual of the high character and possessions of the
Rev. l'haimmn, coming forward on every occasion to support the
of charity? Ile was ootili‘lent that the toast would be re-
'""e with • • • •
meta cordial saustactien.

The CHAIRMAN rose and returned thanks, and expressed his
readiness on all occasions to support the cause of charity,
and the love of his neighbour. The present charity was one
which called upon every person to step forward to contribute his
mite towards its support: it was not only rendering support to
the poor awl dswitute orphan, but they had the consolation of per.
forming a duty towards their fillow.crestures, whi:h would meet
with a lieavei.ly reward. He felt gratified in being placed in the
situation in which lie wan, it: his exertions tended in the least to
forward the interests of the Charity. For the atiectionate manner
in which the Rev. Doctor hal proposed his health, he would give
a tosit which he was sure would give satisfaction to the whole of
the meeting—" The Rev. Dr. Bramston."
Dr. lin 4M3TOn, in returning thanks, said tkat be felt honoured
in the mark of r.ipect ahewn lle trusted that the gentlemen
would nippy their purses towards the support of the lnetitution. in
proportion to the interest they felt towards it. He would }impose
the health of the l'ice-Presidents.
The Rev. Abbe Vow au x returned dumb.

The Iti;;;aisi•eee-...h. dilated upon the varinu• dif-
ficulties to which orphans were liable unless they had the protection
of the public. He concluded by an appeal to the Meetingy, in sue.
fear of the Charity, and drank " Success to the Orphan l'harity."
The Children were here introduced, and they presented a most
int-resting speer,,,d,,,
Toe Hee. J. n E A 3thiteSSICII the Meeting in an eloquent
speech. Ile regretted that, in the absence of the }ter. 3lr. klon
Ire should he cilled uron to telpport a task for which he felt his in.
cuinpetenci. He felt assured that the mama of the Charity itself
was sufficient to cause it to be supported. He particularly alluded
to the female crViar s, whir trete thiawia icto the world without a
