MISS MyreitUZlCY.

The performance of this Lady at the Argyle
Rooms went• off yesterday with in d eclat.
Lord Vllin's Daughter wits received with the usual
testimonies of approbation. Elcira and Lady
Constance, for the ilis:olay of loftiiiefir and grief,
were truly effective. A MS. curlew Sung was very
playful and pretty, and an invocation to Charity,
written by hcraelf for the St. Patrick's lustitutiou.
and set to music by Mr. Loxn, was much admired.
A beautiful Poeni, a Lyrical-Tragic Interlude,
called Hero, representing the mingled possimos of
Hope, Fear, and Despair, drew down loud shouts
of " Bravo!" and repeated bursts of applause.
The anxiety during the storm, the despair at
Leander's loss, and the furious burst of rage against
the evil deities, are drawn with uncommon► strewth
and energy, and requi►e an extraordinary degree of
exertion. Miss MACAULEY'S exertions throughout
were received in a manlier truly gratifying to the
heart of • public character. The Poem of Ne►o
is written by -- LE Nuts, Esq., and, very sweetly
composed by Miss K1M1101.17. Htr performance nu
the harp of tl e bimntiful Seats air of " Ye Banks
and Braes," with variktiins, wai'muclt applauded.
Many persons of rank were petering, tut lulling-Lard

It is to Ire lamented that the progress of medical
seiruce has not kept pace with the sceuniutist 1111 l of
disorders incident to the 'peseta •tage of society. Mercury,
while it at the specific malady fur which it is aalusiuis-
teids, never fee to undermine the general system. But we
are happy to learn from a recent publication, La Demme,
on isleetricity and Galin:mien, dedicated hg permission to
the Prices of Saxe Coburg, dui, in disorders of the sto-
mach, liver, anti bowels, Galvaniani has been found an died.
sue substitute fur mercurial semeilies, updating in a muds
natural and gentle t r, whereby cures have been pro-
duced with greater effitecy, and its a much shorter space of
time, avoiding the direful effects generally attendant uu the
use of calomel, or the blur pill.

Egyptian Halt, Mansion House, for the purpose of
receiving the Report, abd contributint to the
funds of the Institution. A great nuelibe► of holies
were present.
The Loan Melon took the chile at half-past
one o'clock. Her Lordship loving briefly informed
the meeting of the occasion upon which they were
awiembleil, mill urged the necessity of mating
liberal contributions—
The Secetratte read the Report. It stated.
that since the lag Report 141 females had been

since the formation of the Institution. 57g. Many
of those who have come (rain Hurler the care of the
Institution, have become valuable members of
society. The fund' by which the necessary ell•
rusts' were sustained, the Report stated as fol.
The donation., mutual eubscriptions, and col-
lections, during the past year. amounted to
1,161/. 13.. elAd.; the produce of the work dons
by the females iu the Asylum was 2021. 17s. 61d.
making the total receipts 1,364/. I Is. sd. Thle
disbursements during the year amounted to
1,4071. Is. Oil being an excess of expenditure
shove the receipts in the sum of 42/. 9s. 9el. ; but
the Society is now in debt to the Treasurer and
other., to the amount of not less than 3501.
Cuptain PAKENHASI moved the first Resolution,
namely, that the Report be received, which having
been put—
RICHARD CLARK, E'q. Chamberlain of the
City of London, seconded the 'motion. which wak
unsiiiinouslydo pted.
Sir THOMAS BELL then rose to move the thanks
of the Society to the Duke of Sussex and the Duke
of ‘Vellingion, for their support to the Institution;
and at the same time the deep regret of the Society
at the deatlt•of the late great benefactor of the In.
stitutloit, the Duke of Kent. After. Irwin eulogy
upon the character of the Duke of Kent, lie enter-
ed into the vindicatiou of the female sex from the
charge of being more criminal than the male, after
having descended to prostitution or any other crime.
He iustanr•ed as a proof of great virtue and tender.

father at the Old Bailey sonic years ago, and paid,
he had great• pleasure in meeting her and her father
in the streets afterwards, and learning that her si.
illation will most enviable. The Guardian Society
had the good fortune to Ise aisle to place to its ac-
, count with God the ease of the poor girl, amongst
other powerful claims to an eternal retribution.—
(Applause.)
Mr. James Thompson, Lord Gosport, Mr. Daniel
Wilson, and Mr. Frederick Webb, severally ad.
dressed Me Meeting.
Mr. Wi LBERVORCI said, he rose with unaffected
pleasure to move the thanks of the Me.aing to the
Clergymen. &c. whose exertions in the cause of
humanity be had had frequent opportunities of wit.
nes.iog. The benefits arising from the lostitutios
were not to be estimated by the degree of good ren-
dered to the individuals who were taken under pro-
tection, but by the incalculable advantages which
arose Isom withdrawing those objects from the public
eye. The disposition to be active in doing this justice
to the cummuisity, must be increased by the coma.
iteration, that those who give of to public de.
cency have been the dupes of the worst of villainy.
It should also be remembered, that the unfultuliates
had parents, and that the teats which were caused
by their calamity were only to be wiped away by
the interposition of Providence. through the isistru-
mentality of sonic of the benevolent of the specie..—
(Appluese.)—Such was the state of society, such
the State of our corrupt nature, that in proportion as
the prosperity and wealth of the nation increased,
the vice of prostitution increased. In this cala-
mitous state the poor credulous girl had nothing
to look to for rellernpiiou from the lowest misery
but those asylums to which the Guardian Angel
was ever reedy to point, the doors of which were
always mum. It was delightful to behold there
who had already owed every thing to the Institu.
tiers. whose merits posterity would be celebrating,
contributing to the funds by which they were them-
*elves supplied. 'rhe Society would never yield to
the ruggestiou that the good to be done would be
iosignificatit. It was not the character of the Brisish
nattou to hesitate because difficulties presented them-
selves ; even if but one individual was loved by the
experiment, the labours of the Society could not be
in vain. If there was such triumph in Heaven epos
such an occasion, should not we rejoice in the re.
Inanition of a fellow creature ?—(Great applonse.)
He congratulated the meeting upon the rank and'
wealth of ' the supporters of the Institution, who re.
cognised their true station by engaging in an active
charity, and not br supporting turrichoua dietioc.

wens bonds by which the upper and lower orders
of• the nation were hound to each other.
The Rev. Mr. Evans returned thanks in the
name of theClergemen.
Mr. Sheriff RoraweL►. moved the thanks of the
Meeting to the Lord Mayor. He had, he said,
frequently witnessed the efforts of the worthy
Chief Magistrate upon occasions of charity, and
could bear testimony to the excellence of his views
towards the uofortunat•, mid the zeal and attentiou
which he paid to his (Ariel doties.---tdipp/surse.)
The Rev. Me. FARMER seconded the muttunr
which was catried•unauimously.

The LOAD MAYO& called upon the Meeting, in
the must impressive manner, to second the labours
or the Committee by their liberality. The Meet.

The Meeting then aeporated.
