A most respectable meeting was held on Wednesday
evening last, in consequence of the general circulation of
a handbill, of which the following is a copy :
" ISLINGTON Disoensastx.—At a meeting of the Com-
mittee appointed by a general meeting, held at the Angel,
Islington, on the 9Utli October, 1821, to conside► of the
hest means of establishing a Dispensary ; it was resolved,
—That a general meeting of the Ladies and Gentlemen of
Islington, be held at Cauonbnry Tavern, on Wednesday
next, the lith instant, at six o'clock (for seven precisely),
to receive the Report of the Committee, and adopt such
regulations as may best conduce to the int f tne
institution. " JOHN TWIOG, Hots. Sec.

..... ..._... _
" Canonbary Tavern, Nov. 7, 1821."
At seven o'clock the Committee entered the rows', anJ
Mr. Churchwarden TRISTRAM having, been ottani-
moody called to the chair, that gentlemill expressed nis
conviction of the honour that was conferred upon him,
assured the meeting of the lively interest he felt for the
success of the. institution they were met to establish, and
concluded by requesting the Honorary Secretary to read
the resolutions by which theConatnittee was constituted,
together with the notice of the meeting, of which we
have given a oopy—which having been done, the Chairs
man of the Committee presented •their Report, which
was also read. Its commencement was brief and perspi-
cuous, and in its conclusion it embodied the whole of
the laws and regulations, by which the Committee
recommended the charity should be governed.
Mr. BARBER (a Surgeon residing in Angel-place,
New-road). then rose, and in an able and appropriate
speech moved, "'That this meeting do concur in, and
adopt, the Report of the Committee."
On this motion a conversation of considerable length
took place; and a wish having been expressed by a gen-
tleman present that the rules and regulations should be
submitted seriatim to the approval of the meeting, Mr.
POLLEN read them through, and with some very trifling
verbal alterations, they were agreed to unanimously.
Resobitions for electing a Treasurer pro tem. (which
election fell without opposition on Mr. Tristram, tile
Chairman), and a Provisional Cointnittve (which w..s
aiterwards nominate.l), were then proposed, and met
with a similar unanimity.
NleJourr Pu maw, Jun. was elected Secretary fry.
lens. and thanks having teen voted to the Committee !or
weir care, assiduity, and attention, in so promptly pre-
' paring their report ; and to the Chairman, for his correct
and proper conduct in the chair, that gentleman, a'ter
making his acknowledgements, took his seat in his cha-
racter of Treasurer to receive subscriptions, and w
great pleasure we perceived him busy till we left the
rlom, in receiving subscriptions of all amounts, rout
one guinea to twenty.
Thus has a foundation been laid of a charity whose
benefits will be extensive, undeniable, and self-evident—
the industrious mechanic, labouring under the presswe of
chronic disease or casual accident, will have the •ItIV:Ir.
Cages of the best medical ads ice or surgical oper..oon
without being estranged from his beloved family, w:thtett
being deprived of the tender ministerings of a fond ‘s--e
and affectionate children, without having his honour,: le
pride wounded by the recollection of his having th.en
pauperized—we are sure that nothing con:tributes so
much to the virtue and happiness of the lower clas, s
as to guard against a debaseniem of their spirit, and %vs
believe that tile establishment o: the Isli:nnon D:sp •!1-
sary will greatly tend, as far as its local influence 5h...1
reach, to this very desirable object.
We coo ion close these °bur% at iOIIS without remarking
that, to the credit of the Cousin nee who proposed, .z:::1
the Meeting which adopted, the resolution appointiag
Provisional Committee—that resolution coot iswttced by
declaring, that all Governors, being Clergymen, Dui-
. RENTING MINISTERS, Medical Practiti.mers, and the
Courchwardens for use time being, should ex ojiciu `•:e
meml.ers of it .—This proves that absence of all sort of
party feeling which we thought we saw in the outset of
the business.

A private corrrspondent Of BISIA has, through
his good timune, got himself into a troublet,orne
situation. About two years back he purchased a
whole Ticket of Bisit's chief agent
,in Scotland,
which came up a £5OOO Prize; since which he has
been requested by his uncles, aunts, cousins, bro-
thers, sisters, friends, &c. to purchase numbers I•Pr
them, which is not only attended with trouble, LA
expense, as they generally forget to pay the postage ;
however, Fortune has continued to smile, as e
has purchased part of a .ti 30,000 fur an aunt; •,,art
of 15,000 for a sister; part of a £3OOO for oue
his maid-servants; and in the present Lottery, i:is
cook got part of a RlOOO, and he was very ne.lr
having the £30,000 Blsit sold the first day, as ?:e
was only two numbers distant.
Shocking flecident.—As the civic procession w th
address to its Majesty was turning round the cormi of
Kimt.street, the horse on which Mr. Wontner, Inc C.ty
Marshal, was mounted, took fright, reared, and threw
inn. Mr. %Vollmer retained tile briiVe in his hand.
