ROTHERHITH R ROMAN CATHOLIC --
CHARITY.
The first Annivertary of this Charity was celebrated at the Lon-
don Tavern yesterday. One hundred and twenty gentleuien.sat
down to an excellent dinner at six o'clock.
Mr. O'CorxEtt in the Chair.
The Learned Gentleman, on his entrance to the dining-room, was
warmly cheered. He was supported on the right by the Honour.
able Edward 'Fein O'Conor lion, and James O'Gorman 31shon,
Emirs. (Members of the Roman Catholic Deputatior), sat upon
his left.
Accommodation was provided at the end of the room opposite
the Chair, for ladies, of whom there was a numerous and elegant
Usemblage,
Mr. O'Coxtsenv,ttin the removal of the cloth, rose. and in pro.
posing the " Health of his Majesty," spoke to the following
effect :'d Gentlemen,—As this is the first opportunity which has
been presented to me of publicly proposing in the city of London
the health of our present Sovereign, I utast it may. be permitted me
to cast my eyes over the leading events of his reign. It is
not my intention to go into any lengthened historical detail
of those events ; but it should not be forgotten, that when our
present Sovereign, in the year 1810, assumed the reins of power, in
consequence of the illness of his lamented father, England was
engaged in a contest with a genius of the first order—a perilous
contest, in which her opponent was master of a great portion
a the Continent; and where his sway was not absolutely ate.
islished., the influence of his name was sufficient to call nations to
Ilia aid ,(hear, hear) ; his power might be said to extend over
`taos-fourths of the civilized world. At that period disastrous
prophecies were made. He would have been a bold man indeed who
would have predicted that England would have attained to the
lament height of prosperity. that she enjoys (Applause). Yet
Xngland struck down her foe in the field of battle (Applause). She
triumphen: and although the dominion of a greater part of Europe
eney have been transferred to a worse sway, this .ountry continued
aperient her institutions free, and to see her glory sustained, and
bee power and her empire undiminished (Loud cheers). That is
• an abstract of the present Monarch's reign. It is true that
in the course of the present reign there has been a period of
commercial struggle, and of agricultural distress.but that distress is
`at an end, and we have seen the commercial interest of this Country
arrived at a height of unexpected greatness, and concentrate itself
tato the principal strength of the empire. (Applause.) One thing
only remains—that is, to conciliate all his people under his wise
retie- (Cheers.) That glory remains for him, and is worthy of
him wlio has declared that " power was given to the Prince but for
the benefit of the people." play he live to vindicate that principle
• of which be is himself the author (applause), and as at all times it
is right to pray for health and long life to our Sovereign, never
(sod I tun sure I am quite loyal in the wish), have we had greater
occasion to pray for it than at the present time. (Loud anti cond.
hied cheers.) Gentlemen. I conclude by proposing „the health of
s .111ajesty George 1V.," and, added Mr. O'Connell emphatically,
,° Long life to him." (Much applause.) Four times four.
Mr. O'Coratru. was desirous of proposing the health of
another King—a King who proclaimed in his dominions the salu-
tary principle of universal toleration. (Hear, hear.) Toleration
was a word to which he was rot partial; it pre.supposed a power
of punishment in those by whom it was exercised, and of the ex-
clusion from a right of those against whom it was directed. (Hear,
hear.) But it was due to the Alonarch whose health he was about
auopose, that lie promoted and encouraged an equalisation of civil
'tights throughout bile dominions. He begged to conclude by pro-
posing—
The health of his Majesty George IV., King of flartover."
(Moth applause.)
Mr. O'CowXELL next rose to propose a toast, which he was
'satisfied would be received by the cordial approbation of the present,
meeting. It was that of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex.
If. bad the good fortune to meet him in this country, and in no
Individual did he discover a more kindly disposition towards the
Roman Catholic population of this country than iu his royal breast..
'lie (Mr. O'Connell) did not envy his high tank and exalted sac-
two so much as he admired the extensive information which he
psonsed, and which would take the whole life of a man of leas I
Obility to acquire. (Hear, hear.) He occupied, it was true, an
exalted station in society, but he occupied it not for the purpose of
.looking down upon others in inferior stations, but of shedding
bloats upon then, and of contributing by every means in his
to theirexigencies and their wants. (Applause.) He (Mr.
'ttlfer nell) admired less the rank he occupied, and the splendor
that surrounded him, than he did the manly glow of hottest sen-
timent which proceeded from the heart rather than the head. Yet
*bat issued from the heart of his Royal Highness, was marked by t
the characteristics of a highly cultivated and enlightened under-
stasding. (Applause.) He gave a grace to aristocracy, a dignity
as power, and ent!sted the affections of the people, by showing them
ahatoear the throe was one on obese merit and chose virtue the
people might reliy, and in which they might safely confide.'
(.Ipplastee.)
" The Duke of Sasscx"—Three times three.
O'Cowirent next proposed, " The healths of Dr. Poynter
end Dr. Bramston," two Roman Catholic Bishops of England.
A Roman Catholic Ctergyman, whose name we could not learn,
briefly returned thanks, and expressed, on the part of the Roman I
Catitohe Bishops, the deep anxiety and interest which they took in
every institution for the promotion of education.
Tha.children were then introduced. They walked round the
roma, and presented a most interesting spectacle.
Mr.O'Coxwor.r.,, in proposing the next toast said, that it had

character of the people of England. Upon a close inquiry,
isb found that the people of England were opposed to the
For six centuries Ireland had been subjected to .Englask, yet
we enjoyed no advantages from the system it has punned: Owe
inistisrtunes are not attributable to ourselves: the Irish peoples
are brave—their valour has not only been undisputed, but at all•
times readily admitted. The Irish are not incapable of the
kindliest sentiments arid best feelings i there is no stoats fixed
upon our brow; on the contrary, we are gay and animated. If,
in short. the inisgovemmeat under which we suffer was indicted
upon us from any deficiency on our part, we would have them to
undergo the responsibility of the miseries which we sutler. But
those miseries were fairly attributable to the policy of England
1 towards that country. Iceland ought to contribute a fair pro-
portion to the revenue of those conntries—she ought, on a fair esti-
mate of her resources and her population, to contribute 16,000/. to the
81,000,0001. which England contributes to the exigency of the
state; but instead of tontributing that mite, Ireland is a tax upon
this country of 4,000,0001. per 'Drum, a satisfactory proof that
under the present system Ireland can never be the great and inde-
lerdent country which her resources entitle her to be. (Applause.)
nstead of yielding 16,000,000 i. she is an actual burthen on this
country t. 4,00/0.009/. Let those who object to the payment of the
priesthood consider this topic, anti weigh with themselves whether
it is better to lose to the exchequer 250,000:., the sum proposed to
be paid to the priesthood, or to lose twenty millions, which, taking
into account the loss of tour millions, and the probable gain of six-
teen millions to the exchequer. would be an actual saving to the •
revenue of twenty millions. In seeking for our rights we did not;
seek to disfranchise any class of persons, or to despoil them of their 1
rights. We simply ask for an act of justice towards us. (AN
plause.) Equal rights constitute the claim we put forward, and +
without the adjustment of which claim, Ireland cannot be con-,
trolled. The day was not, he trusted, f distant, when that prin.'
ciple would be recognised by the Legislature, and until it was
recognised, he knew not how the peop of Ireland could be coo-
tented, and prosperous, and happy. (Applause.) This country
overflowed with capital% in Ireland that capital would be repaid
by labour will greater certainty than in any part of the world ; but
the adjustment of this great question must precede any
large investiture of capital in Ireland. (Hear.) Petitions had
been presented against us y persons whom it was not natural to
find associated together—mitred Prelates with Butterworth ale.
(Hear, hear.) rte Learned Gentleman concluded a very
eloquent and impressives .ch by hoping that in whateverargument
the Roman Catholics were encountered, they might be met by can-
did discussion and by fair argument. Ile came here, and his miss
yon was not altogether unsuccessful, as be had convinced some
Protestants that the Roman Catholic in reality was not the Roman
Catholic of their distempered imagination (applause), and that'
the more they knew each other, they would be disposed to regard
one another with reciprocal charity and Christian forbearance.
(Applause.)
Mr. O'Costoa Dox, on the health of .the Human Catholic De-
putation being given, returned thanks in eloquent and energetic
language. Ile said be -came here, with others of his fellow.cotim,'
trymen, to endeavour to ad va,lce the measure of Roman Catholic
Entaticipation, without a bids there could not be either happiness
for Ireland, or security for the Empire. (Cheers.)
Mr. O'Cows ELL next proposed “The Health of Mr. Brown-
low, who nobly sacrificed preconceived prejudices on the altar of
his country."
After a few other complimentary toasts, the company broke '

REPORT OF THE INCORPORATED SOCIETY
FOR THE
CONVERSION AND RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION AND IDECA-
TION OF THE NEGRO SLAVES IN THE BRITISIS WEST
INDIA ISLANDS, FOR THE YFAR 1824.

This Report details very fully the valnab:e labours of
this Society (luring the last year. Nothing can, in our
opinion, more effectually lead to the extinction of Slavery
in the West Indies, than the introduction of that system
of moral and religious instruction, which, by enlightening
the minds of the' negroes, may make their manumission
safe, thus taking away by degrees all pretext of danger in
granting them their freedom, and leaving the cause of huma-
nity without any plausible opponents. In the mean time it
must tend, in every way, to alleviate those evils which at-
tend a state of servitude. Religion, order, morality, and
virtue, are the most desirable preparativcs for whatever
change may take place in their condition, and for the full
attainment of every benefit that can arise out of it.
We give the following extracts from the speech delivered
at a l'ublic Meeting, at the Court House, Cha rtes-7'ow ,by
the Rev. D. G. DAVIES, M. A., Rector of St. Paul's,
Charles-Town, and one of the Chaplains to the Incorporated
Society, as presenting a concise view of its objects:—
" If, Sir, I dill not apprehend that I should too far trespass on
the thoe and patience of this Meeting, I would read the whole of a
brief account of the Parent Institution, which has been published
by the Society, and which I now hold in my hand ; but as lam
deterred by this apprehension, I will-endeavour, in as few words as
possible, to give to this Meeting an account of ihis Society.
The Society took its rise from the bequest of the Hon. Robert
Boyle, who direct.l by his will, that a considerable portion of his
personal pmperty should be expended in the advancement or pro-
motion of the Christian Religion among the heathen. This
object was for some time attempted to be promoted by applying the
rents and profits of an estate purchased by the executors, and vested
in the hands of trustees, to the education and Christian instruction
of Indian children in Virginia. These proceedings were under the
orders and sanction of the High Court of Chancery. But when
the American Colonies ceased, from a political convulsion, to be a
! par: of the British dominions, it was imagined that the charity
receive a new direction, and should be applied consistently
the spirit of the testator's will, exclusively for the benefit of
t',,,e benighted Heathens who live under the control of the Bri-
tian crown. Such was the decision of the High Court of Chancery,
before which the cause was carried. And, accordingly, a Corpora-
tion for the Conversion and Religious Instruction and Education
of the Negro Slaves in the British %Vest indict was erected and
established by Royal Charter. The Society, thus established,
having elected the Bishop of London for it. President and ap-
pointed other officers, has, from time to time, sent out chaplains
and schoolmasters to the several Coln; _s in the West Indies for
the promotion of its benevolent object:. Such, Sir, is the origin,
such is the nature of the Incorporated Society. The objects are
best described by the title which the Society takes, and to which I
have already adverted."
• • • • •
" The benefits, Sir, which it is likely will result from such at-
tempts as the present, must be held to be the best argument fur
undertaking them. The diffusion of the principles of Christianity
has ever produced a moeidlaug effect. Historical evidence will
abundantly and satisfactorily prove this assertion. It will do so
here in the case of the Negro Slaves. What Christianity has done
in all the instances in which it has been fairly tried, it is but
reasonable to infer it will do in others. I would, however, in thls
place, warn the too sanguine mind from expecting too much at too
early • period. I would give this warning, lest disappointment
might check a generous ardour. The progress of ni wal reformation
is Indeed slow. It is slow in individuals. It is slow in communi-
ties. And it may be, perhaps, a wise dixpositiou of Providence
that it should be so. lVe cannot then with reason expect to Bee
any very marked improvements as the result of our labours in tour
day. We may, Indeed, those of us who are graciously favoured
with length of days, see the work gradually proceeding in its
course. But in this, as in all other cases, we must be content gene-
rowdy to labour for posterity. Men labour to improve the soil,
that others may enjoy as more abundant productions. Men plant
the tree, lustier the shade of which they are morally certain another
shall sit. Men strive to accumulate wealth, which they are con-
vinced shall purchase the comforts, and accomrnadadme, and
luxuries of life for others. Shall we then refuse to attemt OSMOSIS",
the full henelita of which will spring up only when we lin smolder-
ing with our kindred dust? Shall we decline to Mown —es
which are likely to improve those orders of our felleweelenleese oho

there are none here who will be inflamed by seed daesser, each
sordid, such selfish motives. I said that clue CUM of Ciseledoo-

Pastime left Newmarket on Saturday.
Lord Lowther's Lot started on Monday morning, and if Aline
is a little lame or so, as they would have it, she will have all the
best of it, the rain having rendered the roads, as well as the turf,
in fine order.
Attica also commenced her route on Monday morning, attended
by dear Maitre des Chtuau.r.
'Buckle has been too ill to ride this Meeting, and it is reported
that he does not intend to ride again. Le. him take off his spurs
when he will, he will retire with honour to himself; repeatedly in
his races has he received in the same breath, the curses and praises
of those opposed to him—such as " d—n that fellow, I wish he
was dead—what a jockey—what very superior riding; hc's hever
beat till past the post." 'rake him all in all, we shall not look upon
his like again.
It was whispered before the Riddlesworth, that Rufus had beat
Zinc at 71h. ; from Zinc's running in the Sweepstakes on Monday,
we think the young one could have given her a little weight.
The race for the plate today (Tuesday) speaks both for and
against Rufus. In the first place Adclsza was beat in the Riddles-
worth by Rufus, and now runs second, but when she started for
the Riddlesworth, it was reported she was not well ; this running
must be looked at carefully. It came off this way—Camel won by
a little more than a neck, and they now offer 1000 to IS against bin)
for the Leger (he's very good, no doubt, by the odds); Adeliza
second, and Pigmy third ; beat about a head by Adam. Now,
Muleteer beat this Pigmy is a common canter, when he became an
equal favourite with Rufus last October. But the worst of all is,
that Surprise, who ran Rufus to a head for the Riddlesworth, is
beat off 5 lengths, and out of all that Rufus has beaten, she is the
only winner, as she just made shift to beat sister to Nectar, who
was last for the 2000. We leave the public to judge which horse
ought to be first favourite by public running, but think the horses
are placed decidedly wrong in the betting.
Alas ! poor Cleveland ! we fear he has seen his best day for the
St. Leger. It was reported last fall that be was musical. What a
pity he was not sent to Italy for the winter ; he might have been
much improved in health and voice.

rehearing of his Lordship's own decree, and aftw the mat atten-

bound to say, he could find no ground on which to impeach the

The decree is affirmed in favour of Mr. Harry Gordon, and the

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WEDNICSDAY, MAY 4.

THE XING v. TAYLOR.
hen the Judges entered the Court this morning, the defendant,
William Taylor, was brought up in custodi, to receive the judg.
meat of the Court for a misdemeanour of a very aggravated
nature.
➢lr. Justice BAYLEY asked whether the defaulant had anything
to say in mitigation?
Mr. Hanna Rica replied that he had not.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then prayed the judgment of the
Court.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in delivering judgment, addressed the
defendant in terms of severe reprehension of his immoral conduct,
and observed, that although he had endeavoured to screen himself
from the stigma which would fall upon him, under the pretext of
a deranged intellect, yet there was no evidence to show that he had
committed the offence of which he had been found guilty under the
influence of such mental derangement. The judgment of the
Court therefore was, that he should be confined in the gaol of
Reading for the period of six months.

THE LINO v. THE PARISH OF CHILLINOSTORD.
This was an appeal from an order of Magistrates in Quarter Ses-
sions, removing a pauper from one pariah to another, on the ground
that he had not gained a settlement in the former parish; and there
was only one particular in which this case varied from those of
parish settlements in general, and that wait, its giving rase to the
question whether an unemancipated son could become a hired ser.
vain to his father so as to acquire a settlement in that parish where
his father was then residing, hut in which the father had not ob.
mined any settlement? The Magistrates. by their order, adjudged
that the son did not acquire a settlement by virtue of such hiring
and service.
A Rule Nisi having been obtained, calling on the parish of
Chillingsford to show cause why this order should not be quashed,
it was this day argued by Mr. MAIRTATT and Mr. DOVER. on
the part of the respondent pariah, and in support of the order, that
although an emancipated child (that is, a child who had obtained a
settlement in some other parish, either by hiring and service, or by
marriage), might Yemen to his father and enter into a contract with
him, by virtue of which he might acquire a settlement in the parish
where his father was then living, yet a child who was unentanci.
paled could not make any such contract. There was no case to be
found in which a pauper could confer a r'cht of settlement on his
unemancipated children by such a species contract. It was sub-
mitted that the unemancipated children bore the same relation to
the father as existed between the husband and wife. The child
was by law entitled to reside in his father's family, to be properly
clothed and educated by him, and therefore the rule of law which
said that an infant's contract, provided it be for hbenefir, was not
void, but only voidable, did not apply in thar awe, inasmuch
as the infant did not benefit by any such 'contract with his
parent, who was already bound by the law to supply hint
with all that wan stipulated for in the contract without any such
contract being made; and the parent, in r'turn, was entitled airy
to the services of his child without any specific contract between
, them to that effect. Besides, where would the Court fix a period
when the child should be considered old enough to enter into such
a contract ? Would it be at twelve years or at aeren ? This seem-
ed to be ono difficulty which would arise out of the decision, that an
nueinancipated child might make such a contract. It would also
lead to litigation between father and ton, if contracts of this kind
were to be allowed, the right of action to enforce them being neces-
sarily incident to the connect, and how could all this l reconciled
with the natural dominion which the parent was admitted to pos-
sess over the child ? Again, as there already existed a right on the
part of the son to instruction and maintenance from the father, and
a right on the part of the father to the services of the ann, how
could any contract between these parties strengthen or enlarge those
reciprocal rights ? The lesser contract or obligation must merge in
the greater. The object of the statute t.,f Elizabeth was to prevent
the father from communicating a settlement ou the children. But
the consequence of such contracts, if deemed valid, would be, that
if a man haring children was thereby prevented gaining a settle-
ment, yet he might, by this species of fraudulent, or at least colour-
able contract, give a settlement to all his children. Now the statute
sought to prevent this. The law certainly allowed a child to enter
Into a contract with a stranger, by which he might gain a settle-
ment, but in such cases the consent of the father was presumed, for
it were not, the father inight at any time put an end to that con-
tract. Rut that was quite distinguishable from the father making
such a contract himself with his son. The fact of the child's being
emancipated or not was only important in as far as it regarded
parish settlements. Suppose the father to be removed to his own
parish, the son who had once obtained a settlement elsewhere, al.
though then living with the father, could not be removed with him,
and if so then he might make a contract with his father as well as
with a stranger, so as to gain him a settlement. A very great die.
tinction, therefore, occurred between whether the child was eman-
cipated or not. For the purposes of settlement it was contended
contracts were void, and that the order was therefore good.
Mr. NOLAN, on the other aide, contended, that there was no
distinction between a contract of this kind made by an emancipated
and an unemancipated child, and that all the ill consequences which
would ensue from the latter were equally likely to result from the
former ease. It was well known that children were often appren-
ticed to their parents, and sorely it could not be contended that
these apprenticeships were void ? He submitted that the son had
in the present CST' obtained a settlement by the hiring and service
with the father, and that the order ought therefore to be quashed.
The next case in the paper being also a settlement case, in which
a similar question arose, the Court ordered it to be argued before
they should decide on the present one.

THE RING V. TIM PARISH Or WINSLOW.
Mr. SCAR LETT appeared for the respondents, and argued at
some length in support of the positien, that a contract between an
unemancipated child and the father was not valid, and therefore
could not confer a settlement.
The Corer would not hear Counsel on the other side, but pro.
seeded to give their judgment.
The LORD Cater JUSTICE—I am of opinion, that in each of
these awes the pauper gained a settlement by the hiring with the
father. It is conceded, that if the child were emancipated he might
gain a settlement by
.a hiring with his father. It has also been
conceded, that emancipation does not give the child any new
power to contract. A contract made by an infant is not ab.
solutely void, but only voidable by the infant. If an infant may,
with the permission of his father, enter into a contract with a
stranger, why may he not do so with his own father? There
being then nothing in the ISW which declares a contract of this
nature made with the father as void, can we find any thing in the
law of settlements that shall make it so? It certainly will, as said
by Counsel, enable the father to gain a settlement for his sons,
where he himself has not a settlement. But this is not the only
case where such may happen. Then it has been said, that this
may lead to many litigations in the Courts of Quarter Stations ;
but such contracts being held valid, may be good in some eases,
although not so in others. Whenever any such case shall arise, it
will be the duty of the Court to lock narrowly to the cause, and see
, whether there was really and truly a hiring and service, or only a
colouring, but that objection will not apply to either of the cases
before the Court. In the first case the son came into the place of
another servant--that was clearly a proof that his services were re-
quired; and in the latter case it was equally clear that the service
was bona jfde. For these reasons I think a good settlement was
gained in each case, and that the orders must therefore be quashed.
Mr. Justice BATLEY said this was the than time the question had
come before the Court as to whether an unemancipated child might
enter into a contract with the father. Ile was of opinion he might.
Such a contract would produce new rights ; it would give the fa-
ther a grtater control over the son, which might be beneficial to
the son. On the other band, the father would contract to give his
son wages, which would be more than equivalent to the support
which he was already, by law, bound to provide for him. It ap-
peared to him that there was nothing in the relation of tither and
son to prevent such a contract, and he therefore thought that the
orders of Sessions must be quashed.
Rule made absolute for quashing the orders in both cases.
MANSLAUGHTER.
vast ICING V. JAMES MrTCITELL AND WM. ZINO.
Mr. Svoegs-moved that these defendants might be brought up,
and admitted hi bail on a charge of manslaughter.
The Coral' consented, and the defendants were accordingly
brought up in the custody of the Gaoler of Norwich.
The depositions taken before the Coroner were then read, by
which it appeared that several young men, one of whom was the
deceased, and whose name was Jonathan Wells, were met in the
plantations of Mr. Mitchell the defendant, by himse/f, and King
his gamekeeper, who questioned them where they were going. The
answer was that they were biednesting. Mr. Mitchell then got off
his horse, and, as one of the deponents swore, struck the deceased,
