Yesterday the A mi;versare of Ili. Jews' i I ei il• I.

in. Royal Uighur... 4 the Doke of Susan; in the.
Choir, tripported by Lord Torrington, Bvpg,
M.P. Mr. Wilson, M. I'. (for the Cott), Sir John
Perrin, Mr. Shaw, NIA*. Mr. T. T. row,. Mr.
Edward Forster, Messrs. L. A. fluldsmid, Eliason,
Solomon Cohen, Joseph Cohen, 'l'. C. Aland),
Charington. Ramble, Cotton. Richardson, Antler-
ton, and a n 1111 l Iwr of other erentlemen who take
deep interest 'it the progress of this most u-eful
los, outwit'.
Thr Jeers' Moonlit wits (minded with it view tf.
fectually to relieve the indigent, mid to eradicate
the sources of poverty and inducements to vice; to
afford an asylum for age, and a place of refuge fur
youth, which should ',hiend theist front the miseries
of poverty and the contamination of vice ; thus
to
inure them to the practice of religion and indastry,
and direct a mode of procuring a regular mainte-
nance by the acquirement of trades, that they might
become habitually good and useful member' of
society. Its foundation was laid by a simultarieous
concordant feeling of liberal-minded persons of tho
Christian es well as of the Jewish persuasion. and,
the same sentiment has increased with its continua
once: aid Kh an Institution founded and conduct.
ed upon strict Judaic regulation, yet its intents and
purports are so decidedly understood and approved
of, that every benevolent person without exceptiots
of faith or sect, has gene ly slept forward to.
wards its furtherance; and it he; even been an for-
tunate as to meet with the approbation of his loyal
Highness the Duke of Sussex, who, from a convic-
tion of its true excellence, has deigned to honour
it with his sanction as Patron, and materially for-
warded its success by his Royal preemies at every
Anniversary.
One important feature in this Institution is, that
the children ale pot out to trades, winch is au ex-
cellent improvement in the economy of Judaic
charitable education.
At five o'clock the company eat down to a sump-
tuous dinner. con isting of every delicacy of the
season.
After the cloth was removed, Grace was sung by
Gentleinest of the Jewish persuasion according to
their custom, and in a style of exquisite taste.
The ROYAL CHAIRMAN then proposed the fol-
lowing toasts :
" The King."--none, Coil save the Nine.
'fritter Regent."—hung, by Mr. Taylor, The Price and
Old England fur ever.
" The Duke of York, and the rest of the Royal Family."
Mr. BRANAM then sang, in his hest style, The
Death of Abercro&'y. lie was loudly and de-
servedly applauded.
The children were then introduced, and au ap.
propriate ode recited.
" Success to the Institution of the Jewish Hospital"—
Song by Mr. Emery.
The Duke of SUSSEX then rose, he said, to per.
form the most iiiterestitig part of the business of the
day. Ile had promised them last year, that if life
remained to him he would be present at this Anni-
versary. and the friends of the Institution, in their
tuns. had promised him a full attendance. Both
had kept their word. He trusted they would still
go further, and consummate their great purpose by
liberally promoting the object of this benevolent
Institution in the way it could be best promoted,
namely, by a liberal subscription to enable the
founders to do that which, next to the gratification
of their consciences, was their best reward—the
promotion of the great object of the Society.—
They had had their cause pleaded by one of the
children of the Establishment, in terms
which
went to the heart.—(Applause. J— would only
just call their attention to what would have beep
the state of these poor children, were it not for the
protection of this Institution. His Royal High-
ness then took a review of the effects of the Insti-
tution. Originally the admissions were as follow :
Orly tea aged, and eighteeu young, being twenty-eight
persons in the VS hole, could be provided fur at its corn-
menceineut iu 1807 ; whereas, by the liberal support of is
tornevoient public, it is at this time dispesising its Imperils to
twelve aged, forty boys, and twenty•six girls, making in the
whole seventy-right persons; a number which, it is hoped,
the funds will continue to be able gradually to increase.
Ilia Royal Highness thru adverted to the fonds
of the Society, and observed, that they must see the
necessity of replenishing then!, if they wished to
see their great example followed, as lie trusted it
would, by other parts of the country. It was not
here his province to touch upon religious topics;
all hr should say woe, that alinost all the known
religions of the world inculcated the moral duties,
and the excellent mein) of doing to each other as
we would wish to he done by, and it would be well
if this Christian maxim were more completely
served.—(App/ause.)—lie should leave the came
in their hands, confidently relying that their lib'.
rality would on this occasion be conspicuous in the
display of their moral duties.
Mr. Et.isson rose to propose 11 The Health of
their Royal Chairman," of whose merits it did not
become him to speak in his presetice. He was
known too well, and too justly respected to netd
Iris or any man's eulogy.
The Doke of Sussex. in returning thanks, said
he felt grateful for the favour that had been con-
ferred upon him ; he could only assure them that lie
felt the deepest interest in the prosperity of their
Institution. He hoped their hands and hearts
would go together, and that in their conviviality
they would not forget the cause of lteneroletice..—

Royal flighiirfs next proposed!, the health►
of their President, Mr. Eliasois, which was druil
with great midwife.
Mr. ELIASUM returned tlimilts in nit elogalut

with the fiue Imo of " beefs wlia hue Wallac,e

tributors of this Society.
