GUARDIAN SOCIETY.

Wednesday a Meeting of this excellent Society for the
preservation of the public morals, took place at the
Eeyptiati Bell hi the Mansion House, for the purpose
,i 1 receiving the Report of the COuntrittee, and contri-
bating to the fonds of the Institution. A great ouitibcr
of ladies were present.
The Lord Mayor took the Chair at half-past nue.
His Lordship having briefly informed the Meeting of
the occasion upon which they were assembled, and
urged the necessity of making liberal contributions, the
Secretery read the Revue It stated, that two years had
elapsed since the last General Meeting of the Society,
and that during the time the Committee had not been
unfaithful of the trust reposed in them. Since the last
Report, 141 heti des haul beru admitted 11,10 the Guar-
dim Asylum on their own application, 42 been then in
the 110 else, nuking together 183, of whom 35 had
teem pith ided for in service, seven sent to their respec-
tive parishes, two died, 6I dismissed, 46 are now in
the House, making the total number received into the
Asylum since its tormation 57e, of whom 153 hail been
placed in ste vice; 183 restored to their friends, .3'.1 5:111
their parishes, igB discharged or wiihdrawn, seven
have died, and 46 are now in the pious.. Many of
those who have gone from the Institutiou lust Leconte
valuable members of society.
Mr. Warm. WILSON said, that at the first appear-
ance there was something o. a tepolsne nature in the
u.idertakiug, but the greater uys the merit in aiding
coorse which was divested of the ordinary attractions.—
By con to this chatity the Meeting connected
iii selves mere s• roogly with their own families and
with society il, general. Those who were acquainted
with the history Of kingdoms were aware of the politi-
cal miseries which grew out of tl.e state of -society, to
which their attention was called. The dlstinion of
States was to be traced to the progress of this vice, which
spread its baleful poison through the whole mass of a
people, .and rendered them an easy prey to AU invading
enemy. (Applause.) To check the growth of such an
enemy to the human race, was the proper business of
those who thus associated. To remove lions the public
eye these examples of horror and shame, became the
members of the Guardian Society. %Vim could with-
hold his compassiou from the lititelreds of poor children
who from the age of 13 to that of 16 were to be seen
engaged in prostitution, corrupted by flattery and the
most malignant arts.
Mr. Sheriff ItornwELL moved the Thanks of the
Meeting to the Lord Mayor. He had, he said, fre-
quently witnessed the efforts of the worthy Chief Ma-
gstrate upon oec.isions of charity, and could bear testi-
mony to the excellence of his views towards the unfor-
tunate. _ _ .

lie LORD MAYOR called upon the Meeting in the
most impressive manner to secoixl the labour: of the
Con iiii ittee by their lib,r,thty. 11r concluded by return-
ing his most hearty thanks. The meeting then departed..

The Report of the Committee appointed in the
House of Lot& to search fur Precedeuts oa the best
mode of compelling the Peers to attend the second
reading of the Pains and Penalties Bill, will proba-
bly be made on Monday, and proceedings adopted
thereon. A general opinion is entertained by his
Majesty's Ministers that the attendance of Lords
during the important proceeding against her Ma-
jesty will not be numerous, unless some compulsory
measure is resorted to. The advanced period of thu
ycar at which this unfortunate business is to come
on, is inconvenient to the Members of both Houses,
who naturally look for relaxation, and retirement to
their estates, after a very arduous oral bustling
Session of Parliament. They would no doubt feel
much satisfaction, could they avoid the painful duty,
imposed on them, a duty rendered unpleasant by the
knowledge, that the public weal is not involved in
the enquiry.
The point in difference between the Queen and
Ministers, as to the right of omitting her Majesty's
• name in the Liturgy, appears to allow of judicial
decision, by any friend of her Majesty proceeding
against any clergyman fin such omission, in breach
of the Ist of Eliz. cap. 2, sec. 2.—" That all and
singular Ministers in any cathedral or parish church,
or other places, shall, from and after, Sce. be bounden
to say and use the Mat tins, Evening.song, celebra-
tion of' the Lord's Supper, administration of each of
the Sacrameuts,and all the common and open prayers,
in such order and form as is mentioned in the said
book, so authorized by Parliament in the said sth
and 6th years of the reign of King Edward the
Sixth." Any clergyman transgressing this statute is
liable to the forfeiture of one year's profit of his spirit-
ual benefices, and six month's imprisonment, without
bail. The defendant would of course rely on the
proclamation, the legal validity of which would
depend on the construction ot' the 14th Car. 11. cap.
4, sec. 25—" Provided always, and be it further
enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in all those
• Prayers, Litanies, and Collects, which do any way
relate to the King, Queen, or Royal Progeny, the
names be altered and changed from time to time,
and fitted to the present occasion, according to the
direction of lawful authority."

REVOLUTION IN NAPLES.

The revolutionary movement among the troops
was observable on the day previous to the departure
of the Messengers from Naples. Two regiments
expressed their wish. of being governed constitution-
ally, and multitudes of soldiers rushel to their party;
Prince Campo Chiaro was the promulgator of their
sentiments to the King, who found himself obliged
to conform to their views, and prepare a constitution
within the space of eight days. The whole business
seems to have been well arranged and matured—
the utmost secrecy must have been observed—the
insurrection spread with the rapidity of lightning,
and every peasant that could procure a fitelock, or
weapon of any sort, followed the example of the
troops. The Court was dismayed at these proceedings,
but they became too general and too formidable to
be resisted. The important movement originated
with the military, the only organ by which the
Rulers could overawe or coerce the people. An ar-
bitrary Government cannot exist a moment without
the support of the military, and Naples must soon
enjoy all the political benefits of Spain. The pub-
lic mind is too much enlightened in every country
for the people to suffer the degradation which they
experienced in the dark ages of tyranny and super-
stition. The revolution in Spain cannot fiil to have
a great influence on neighbouring nations, and we
look to it with hope as the forerunner of speedy and
momentous events.

The Bank Notes Forgery Prevention Bill
occa-
sioned some conversation in the House of Peers on
Monday night. The attempt to prevent peti,ioners
from being heard against the Bill mast appear very
singular, Lord Liverpool seemed to imagine that
Mr. Tilloch and the other petitioners iiiineeac h tying
the comparative merits of different plans examined.
This, however, is not the object of Mr. Tilloch's
Petition : the preamble to the Bill states, that " the
Governor and Company of' the Bank of England
have, Lifter great consideration, labour, and expellee,
firmed a new plan for printing Bank Notes, in
which the ground-work of each Bank Note will be
black or coloured, or black and coloured line• work,"
with certain words " upon a black, sable, or dark
ground, such ground containing white lines inter-
secting each other," &c. Mr. illoch says that this
allegation is not true—that, on the contrary, the
plan was formed by him, after much consideration,
labour and expellee (of' which he has never been
rcimbuesed one flirdsino), and was by him laid
before the Bank in 17971 and this fact he intended
to prove at the Bar of the House.
In the course of' Thursday, a general seizare was
made throughout the Metropolis by the Excise Offi-
cers, of the arti.:le called " Hunt's breakfast pow-
ders." The affair is likely to become a matter of
legal investigation. Rosemary comes under the
same objection, as it is sold to make a beverage
called " Rosemary tea," which is prescribed in ner-
vous complaints by the rhvsieians.
Review at Hounslow.—Friday a Grand Review
took place on Hounslow Heath. A great concourse
of' people assembled there at an early hour, and a
number of carriages; tilled by persons of distinction,
were also on the ground. This great assetnikage
was occasioned qy the announcement in the public
papers that the King was to review the two Regi-
ments of Life Guards, and the Horse Guards (blue.)
A corps of' Lancers were stationed at the Lodge,
near the roadside at Hounslow, in their full uni-
forms, and a considerable number of Staff Officers,
for the purpose of receiving his Majesty upon his
arrival. An express however arrived to the I-lon.
Captain Cathcart, announcing that his Majesty
would be unable to attend, but that the Commander
in Chief might be momentarily expected. The
Orderly had only time to deliver his message when
his Royal Highness the Duke of York appeared in
sight, dressed in his full Field Marshal's unifbrm,
accompanied by his Royal Highness thc Duke of
Cambralge, also in full uniform, and the Duke of
Wellington, mounted on a beautiful chesnut-co-
Inured Arabian, and dressed in his regimentals, as
Colonel of the Blues. These illustrions personages
drove to Hounslow in their carriages, and mounted
their chargers at the entrance to the Heath, where
dragoons had them in readiness. When they came
on the ground at eleven o'clock, they were immedi-
ately surrounded by a large body of' officers of rank,
who conducted them to the eastern part of' the
Heath, where the two regiments of Life Guards
And the Blues were firmed in line. The Review im-
mediately commenced, and the troops went through
their evolutions in fine military order until near
two o'clock, when some heavy showers of rain com-
ing on, they were ordered off the ground, and the
Royal Dukes drove back to town in their carriages.
The Duke of Wellington, attended by an officer,
drove home in a curricle and pair. His Majesty
was prevented from being present at the Review
in consequence of an attack of the gout.
Review of the Coldstream Guards.—Saturday
morning, at nine o'clock, the 2d battalion of the
Coldstream Guards•was reviewed in Hyde Park, by
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, their
Colonel. His Royal Highness took his station in
front, and the regiment passed him in review in an
excellent state of discipline. The corps formed near
the magazine; and their band was stationed in the
centre, and played martial airs during the review.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge looked
in excellent health, and was accompanied by Gene-
rals Hill and Keate, and several other officers of' dis-
tinction. The ceremony of firing n salute was dis-
pensed with by desire of' his Royal Highness
The House of Lords is expected to adjourn on
Monday until Thursday, the 17th of August, the
day fixed fire the second reading of the Bill of
Divorce and of Pains and Penalties against the
Queen.
An official return to an order of the House of'
Commons states the total amount of Bank notes and
Bank post bills in circulation, in the week ending
the 4th July, 1820, `2._2,397,2101. ;cnl in the
week ending the 11th at '26,'210,3001. This great
increase in the latter week is chictly to be ascribed
to the payment of the dividends.
The Select Committee on the practicability of the
unption of smoke issuing front furnaces,
steam-engines, and different works, have made their
report. It appears from a mass of evidences that it
is perfectly practicable, and that the consumption of
smoke would not only be a very great saving of fuel,
but would also be loss prejudicial to public health
and public conduit.

The Surveyor of the Board of Works, has exa- •
mined the interior of the House of Lords, pre/3am.
tory to the necessary arrangements to be made
against the 17th of August. As a full attendance
of their Lordships is expected, it will be scarcely
possible to accommodate them all, without that part
of the House below the Bar, where stran.2,cra are
admitted; is taken into the body of the House.—
This alteration, however, would not be so well, as
on a subject of so much interest to the country, it
would be rather ungracious to exclude the Public.
A place must be preserved for the accommodation
of the Queen's Counsel and for her Majesty, who
is determined, it is said, to be present during the
whole of the proceedings. It is evident that Minis-
ters are resolved to persevere in this unfortunate
business, and that all the rumours in circu-
lation to the contrary are unfounded. Her Ma-
jesty's accusers, however, must know pretty well.
the feelings of the public on the business from the.
addresses presenting from all quarters of the cowl-
try Queen, from those respectable corporate and
°tinr bodies whom even the Ministerial Journals
havo not the hardihood or presumption to attack.—
A Requisition is signing to the Sheriff's of Middlesex.
to call a Meeting to address the Queen, and other
County Meeting's are expected to tidlow the exam..
plc, while nut a single counter-address against Ihr
Majesty can be procured.
The following extract is dated Hamburgh, the
16th inst.—" The Board of trade of this city has
received the fbllowing account from Revel, dated.
28th June This morning the lightning struck
the steeple of the Lutheran cathedral in this city,
and in a few hours that ancient Gothic edifice was
reduced to ashes. Vessels bound to Revel and St.
Petersburgh have by this event lost an excellent
land-mark; the lofty steeple was visible firr out •at
sea. It is therefore very desirable teat this circum-
stance should be made as public as possible.' "
Mr. Michael Angelo Taylor, Recorder, and Messrs
Lester and Dent, Members for Poole, presented the. •
Address to her Majesty on Friday. They kissed
hands. Her Majesty received them graciou4, and
was in high spirits.
A letter from Hamburgh of the 10th inst. states., .
that General Gourgaud has been refused permission
by the French and Prussian Ambassadors to proceed
either to Paris or to Brussels, and is therefore about
to fix his residence at Frankfort on the Maine. A.
new system of police (the old one being declared to
be in a very defective state), is preparing for the
city of Hamburgh, under the auspices of M. Barteis,
at present burgomaster, and formerly chief of police.
By recent letters from Gibraltar we learn that on
