The Sons of St. Patrick met yesterday to cele-
brate the Anniversary of his Birth-day, and a very
full meeting there was, under the idea that the Earl
of Moran, so deservedly a popular charafter in ge-
neral, and with this Society more particularly, would
rake the Chair. It was also understood that His
Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex would hive
been present ; but, after waiting for that Royal Per-
sonage till seven o'clock, the Company were mortifi-
ed by a disappointment, which was doubled by the
cause, viz. indisposition, on the part of His Royal
Highness. About seven, however, the Company
were admitted into the Great Room, and the
Knight of Reny was coiled to the Chair.
As soon as the cloth was drawn, the toasts com-
menced with—
The Ling, with three times three; which was drank with
the greatest applause.
After which, the song of God sore t/se Kz o was
song by Mr. Hill and Mr. Dignum, and very much
applauded.
The Queen and Royal Family," followed in
the ,am: tray.
Song, Mr. HILL, alluding to an invasion; much
applauded.
The PI iIICO of Wales—!immense applause.)

---- -
The Marquis of Hsa or oar said, he was well
aware that any thing he could say on the subject
could have no effe& on that very respedable Society,
further than zu temi:-.d them, that the Prince of
%Vales had, from its first institution, most liberally
patronised the Society ; that he had, at the same
time, uniformly shewn himself a sincere friend to
the general interests of Ireland; and that he had,
on the oresent occasion, again repeated his magnifi-
cent donation of 100 guineas to the support of the
Society, which, he thought, ought not to pass with-
out this small acknowledgment of His Royal
Highness's liberality to the society. This short
speech was received with great applause.
The Duke of York end the Army—the Duke of Clarence
and the Navy—and the Duke of Cumberland—
were then drank with three times three, amidst great
applause.
IleCnAlastAN then rose, and addressed the Com-
rimy, very modestly, saying, that it was by mere
accident he found himself in that situation, which,
he Asa' sorry to say, was owing to the indisposition
of the illustrious personage (the Duke of Sussex),
who would otherwise have filled so much more
worthily the place he then held. He then read a
letter from the Duke of Sussex, stating his indis-
position, and that nothing else should 1: e Tevented
him from the pleasure of being with the Society.
Sir .lomm Donut, Al (Aid de Camp to the Duke of
Sussex) said, that he had it in command from His
/loyal Highness to assure the Society, " that his
heart and good wishes were with them, and that he
sh ,old f,el himself happy in taking the firs: oppor-
tunity allowed him of br'ng personally present in the
Society (Great App/aloe.)
The Children clothed and educated by the Soci-
.

etv then came int,' the room in proce,,ion, which
was truly a most interesting and aff-fting sight.
There were 75 Boys, and 30 Girls, neatly. cleanly,

and comfortably dressed, whose countenances
strengly pourtrayed hilarity and happiness. It we;
a splbt which highl!, gratified the Philosopher and
the Philanthropist, and which did Nor fail to ar.imate
and to interest the most yn'uhful part of the assem-
hly. Atter several songs and toasts, amongst which
was,
