ASYLUM FOR TILE DEAF AND DUMB.

On Thursday last the friends and supporters of that singularly in-
teresting and important Institution the Asylum fur the Deaf and
Divots. held their anniversary, festival at au City of London Tavern,
Bishopsaate street. His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester in
the Chair. The company, as is usual in the meetings of this Society,
was numerous and respectable.
Under the late happy change in the a(?-,sirs of 'Europe, 'Britons cannot
assensWe in social harmony without testifying their participation in the
joyous events Accomplishing on that great theatre of the civilized.
This was Ptrongly.nianklested on the present occasion ; after the custo-
mary loyal and national toasts had been oiven, and received with be-
coming warmth and interest, his Royal Highness proposed, as a toast,
" The health of his Majesty Loui- XVIII. King of France." The
burst of applause that followed deeply impsessed on the mind that ge-
nerous sympathy a free people never fail to experience in the establish-
ment of legitimate power for the extensiou of liberty and peace. The
health of the Emperor Alexander, the Emi eror of Austria, and the
King of Prussia, were successively given, ard were received with warm
approbation. The name of Alexander was enthusiastically received.
• Sir Taostas TuaroN addressed the company, and proposed the
filth of the Duke of Gloucester, the enlightened and actively bens.

vulent Patron of the Deaf and Dumb. It is needless to say with what,
marks of fervent approbation this toast was received : after the long tes-
tituony of applause which evidently flowed troni the hearts of all pre-
sent had sub4ded—
His ROYAL IlrouNtss rose, and in a speech (to which we cannot
here do ju,th,e) pronounced a warns eulogium on the excellent Institu-
tion, for the promotion Of which the meeting more immediately had
assembled, giving a luminous view of its advantrgis, and lamenting
that, notwithstanding the extensive and increasing support it met %ith
from all ranks, there remains much to be dale to meet the esd.

theusotne uselessness to the cheering result of social intelligence and
productive isidustry—to all the individual happiness that cam spriog
frost' moral and religious feeling ! The Stewards then entered the
room conducting the ehildren round the different tables, and the grati-
fication Isis Royal Highness had promised was felt in a degsee more
easily conceived that described; not only did both sexes exhibit speci-
mens of their penmanship and knowledge in arithmetic, but vir4 met
gave answers to questions proposed to them, and souse of them spoke a
short address to their benefactors with a clearness of utt:rance and pro-
priety of feeling that delighted, while it astonished. Many liberal
donations were announced in the course of the evening, and the time
was spent with that peculiar satisfaction which flows from the exercess
of social benevolence. The Stewards did their duty, and the entertein.
