DINNER.

The Fourteenth Anniversary Festival of this excellei

and moat useful Charity was yesterday celebrated in the
Freemasons' Hall, and a snore gratifying and numerous
assemblage of the friends and patrons of the Drama we do
not remember to have seen. His Royal Highness the
Duke of CLARENCE, the President of the Institution, was
in the Chair, supported by—
The Duke of St. Alban's' Lord Amelius Beauclerc, the Mar-
quis of Clanricarde, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Louth, Sir Andrew
Barnard, Horace Twigs, Esq., Martin Arthur Shee, Esq., Lord
Arthur Hill, Lord Charleville, General Phipps, George Byng,
Esq. M.P., the Hon. Edward Byng, Lord W. Lennox, Went—
worth Beaumont, Esq. M.P., C. Kemble, Esq., M. Laporte, M.
Potier, Sir Coutte Trotter, and many other distinguished indi-
viduals.
Atter dinner, his Royal Highness, on proposing the
health of his Majesty, alluded to the peculiar patronage
experienced by the Society they were met to support, and
stated that he was commanded by his Most Gracious 1114-
1 jesty to forward his usual donation of 100 guineas.
" The King, God bless him"—excellently sung by Messrs. Sin-
clair, Duruset, T. Cooke, Bedford, Stansbury, Morley, Terrail,
I.eete, C. Taylor, and Master Phillips.
The Royal CHAIRMAN then observed that he would
not have made any prefatory remark in proposing the
health of the Royal Family, if he had not been requested
by the Duke of Sussex to apologise for his unavoidable
absence.
Air—" Rule Britannia."
The Duke of CLARENCE, in a short speech, remarked
on the vicissitudes of an Actor's life, and hoped that the
many he saw around him, who, like himself, were attached
to the drama, would reflect in their serious moments upon
the satisfaction and delight they bad experienced for many
years of their lives from their exertions, and extend their
benevolence to them when they were incapacitated from
further efforts As long as it was in his power to serve
charities of this description, his presence and firm support
should always be afforded. His Royal Highness pr,sposed
" The Covent Garden Theatrical Fund, and success to it."
MATTHEWS was then called upon by his Royal High-
ness for a songs

Song, MattlnTws—.. The Fund Song,"
The following additional verse, written by himself,
al improvista, was received with shouts of applause.
" I commenced with a high Parliamentary tone,
I'll take a few words just by way of a loan,
In another place, said by an Illustrious Field Marsha', •
I'm happy to say—' Our distress is but partial.' "
His Royal Highness, who seemed exceedingly delighted
with this song, at its conclusion said, "Mr. Mathews, you
must be your own second--encore." Tire song was then
repeated, to the great satisfaction of the meeting.
The Duke of ST. ALBAN's, in a complimentary speech,
proposed the health of the Royal President.

- His Royal Highness returned thanks, and proposed the
health of the Vice-Presidents.
The Duke of ST. ALBAN'S on behalf of the Vice-Pre-
sidents, returned thanks.
Song, Sinclair—" Garde a vous."

His Royal Highnes then proposed the health of Mr.
Fawcett, to which that gentleman made the following
rep),:—
‘• May it please your Royal Highness, my Lords and
Gentlemen—When at the preceding anniversary I had the
honour of addressing this company, I took occasion to ob..

. .
serve, that it would probably be for the last time in my
official situation—circumstances having delayed that event
for a season, I once more present myself to you, in the
bumble hope that what I now advance may have some
weight in your decision relative to this Fund—a Fund in-
tended to give a few years of comfortable existenee (when
unfit for the labours of the stage) to those who have passed
all the vigour of their lives in contributing to your enter-
tainment.

" Gentlemen, before a public dinner was adopted, we
actors were in the habit of meeting annually at a dinner by
ourselves ; here mirth was the order of the day, and busi-
ness left far behind. In 1815 I first seriously addressed
my brethren on this (to us) important subject, the mea-
sure was new and unexpected, and though I received
thanks for my good intention, I was nevertheless consi-
dered ♦isionary.
" Let us, gentlemen, see in what state the fund stood
at that time. It was instituted in 1765 ; it was confirmed
by Act of Parliament in 1776, and In 1815 (a term of
fifty years) we had only been able to put together in the
Funds, as much as produced us something under 4001.
per annum ; this you will admit was a very slender in-
come to be divided amongst the numerous claimants which
fifty years had begotten—and certainly its paucity in some
measure justified the despondency of my brethren. But
observe, gentlemen, what perseverance, and your assistance
has done for us. From 1815 to the present time (a period
of only fifteen years), we have increased our 4001. a year
to nearly 1,200/. ; having put by double the sum in the
List fifteen years, than what we did in the first fifty. And
I beg you to believe, gentlemen, that it is not by with-
holding from our poor annuitants, we have thus increased
our capital. Every claimant from the beginning has been
paid his full demand, without at any time reducing his sti-
pend; and though our claims at this moment amount to
near 1,0001. per annum, economy has never made us deaf

to the voice of distress, even when the cold form of our
laws might have justified us in refusing.
" Again I deprecate a charge of vanity for introducing
this subject; I declare, upon the word of a man, my only
motive is (as I am about to leave the profession) to sti-
mulate my brethren to a continuance of their laudable
exertions.

" The Fund (governed as it now is) pays from 331. up
to 801. per annum, which is the highest allowance; and
though in the infancy of the institution great difficulty was
found to fulfil these obligations, still no one will deny that
it would be very desirable to increase the rates, could that
be effected without shaking its stability.
" I speak from bitter experience when I assure you that
many actors pasi through their whole professional career
under dreadful apprehension of what is to be their fate in the
decline of life; for though some (particularly of late years)
obtain enormous incomes, the great majority have a mere
subsistence; and when untoward circumstances, expensive
and numerous families, and perhaps a charitable and hu-
mane disposition have drained their little savings, they are
left with their grey hairs, shunned by the Managers, for-
gotten by the public—pitiable examples of the vicissitudes
of fortune.

" Gentlemen, this Fund is well calculated to soften these
evils, and, as I sincerely believe, to have great influence on
the moral character of actors. Much exaggeration is in-
dulged in relative to the dissipation of performers. Per-
haps the publicity of their calling makes them more ob-
noxious to this charge than others—but from the bottom
of my heart, where they are dissipated, that dissipation is,
nine times out of ten, the child of despair, begotten in the
dirk horizon by which they are surrounded; they see no
escape in old age from poverty and destitution, they there-
fore become reckless of consequences, and often lavish their

. .
time and talents on the entertainment of convivial asso-
ciates, for the purpose of casting off the gloomy garments
of despair. Give them, then, a motive for temperance,
give them an object to live for ; show them a bright sky
when their sun is setting, and you will do more towards
improving the morals of the Stage, than all the saints and
methodist parsons could do, if they preached till they were
black in the face."

Mr. FAwcErr's address was received with every demon-
stration of satisfaction.
Toast—" The prosperity of Covent-garden Theatre."
Mr. CHARLES KEstsr.E briefly returned thanks.
Song—Mr. Mathews—" The 9th of November," one of the
most humourous, witty, and sarcastic songs we have heard for a
long time.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS then said he bad great satisfac-

tion in announcing the evening's subscription to be up-
wards of 1,223/. He trusted everyyear it would increase.
He thea propose I—" The Health of the Trustees of the
Fund."

Mr. FAWCETT returned thanks, and said be was happy
to have the opportunity of acknow:edging how much the
Fund were ind tbted to the house of Sir Coutts Trotter,
who not only took care of their funds, but in the hand-
somest manner gave them their advice and assistance in
every thing relating to the advantage of the institution.
Mr. T. Cooke was requested by his Royal Highness to
favour the Meeting with a song.
Italian Trio—Mr. T. Cooke.

The Royal PRESIDENT remarked that he had proposed
prosperity to Covent-garden Theatre, but it yet remained
to him to notice one of the brightest ornaments, who, in
a time of trouble, had, with the most pure and amiable of
motives, come forward to rescue the Theatre from its
fallen fortune. Ile proposed the " Health of Miss
Kemble," which was received with a fervour of applause,
long and repeated, that must have been highly gratifying
to every admirer of that excellent and talented actress.
Mr, C. KEMBLE, whose feelings seemed almost over-
powered by the great approbation with which the last
toast had been received, rose to return thanks amid con-
tinued shouts of applause. He said that if, on the former
occasion of addressing them, he found a difficulty in the
task imposed upon him, what must he then feel when his
heart was throbbing with gratitude, which the plaudits of
the meetin had inspired ? in what manner should he ex-
press himself? No words could convey an idea of the
pride, gratification, and delight he experienced ; he felt
nothing was left him to do but, as the representative of
his daughter, as modestly as possible to return thanks to
the brilliant assembly of talent, rank, and wealth, who had
so kindly seconded the toast his Royal Highness had pro-
posed ; he begged them to accept the expression of his
most sincere and grateful acknowledgments, and he hoped
his Royal highness and the meeting, compassionating his

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1830.

The Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable
Privy Council had a meeting this morning in Down-
ing-street. Those present were, the MASTER of
the ROLLS, Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON, and the
Right Hon. J. W. CROKER. Their Lordship• were
engaged the whole morning in hearing the argument
of Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE, in the part-heard Appeal
of FRANKLAND v. M`GASTY, remitted from Demerara.

We are happy to perceive that the state of the
Northern Roads is at length to be inquired into.
That spirited and patriotic young Nobleman, Lord
MORPETH, last night moved for and obtained a
Select Committee " to inquire into the state of the
roads between London and Edinburgh, and London
and Portpatrick." It has been to us a matter of
astonishment that a subject of such vital im-
portance to the commercial interests of the country
should have been so long neglected in that quarter,
where alone it could and ought to have recceived
effective attention. For the last few years the
great towns of the North have repeatedly ap-
plied to the Treasury for a more direct route
for the transmission of correspondence, and an
increased expedition in the passage of the mails, but
up to the present time little or nothing has been
done in the one or conceded in the other. Let us
hope that the labours of the Committee may be
productive of better consequences. The thing is
practicable, and ought therefore to be done. Shorter
and better roads, with increased celerity in travelling,
would carry the mails from London to Edinburgh and
Glasgow in thirty-air hours—instead offorty-four,as
at present.
The following are the Committee :

" Lord Viscount Morpeth, Mr. William Dundas, Mr.
Liddell, Sir James Graham, Mr. Anthony Maitland, Mr.
George Dawson, Mr. Irving, Mr. John Marshall, Mr.
Bell, Mr. William Henry John Scott, Earl of Surrey, Sir
Henry- Parnell, Lord Viscount Maitland, Mr. Beilby
Thompson, Lord Viscount Lowther, Mr. Loch, Mr.
IVyvill, Marquis of Tavistock, Mr. Fyues Clinton, Lord
William Poulett, Mr. William Smith, Mr. Frankland
Lewis, Mr. Davies Gilbert, Lord Viscount Howick, Mr.
Cust."

The French Papers of Wednesday contain no
news of immediate interest, and we have no space
for extracts. The Address of the Chamber of De-
puties was expected to be discussed in the Chamber
yesterday :

The .4..9.1burg Gazette of the 6th instant contains
the following extract of a letter of the 23d ult. from Lon-
don :—" The appearance of Russian ships of war at Bu-
jukdere has given displeasure at London, because it is
looked upon as a kind of sati.faction which the Russian
Admiralty has thought proper to take for the unaccount-
able cruises of the British frigate Blonde, although our
Ambassador at the Porte sent a letter in justification
which is to be transmitted without delay to the
Cabinet of St. Peteraburgh. It was, indeed, rather
hasty in Sir Robert Gordon to give, without being au-
thorised to do so, a destination to a King's ship which
might create misunderstanding, and give rise to complaints
on the part of Russia. Fortunately, the friendly relations
of England with her Northern Ally are too strong, and
our Cabinet too much inclined for peace, for any serious
consequences to proceed from this insignificant cause.
By the protocol of January 4, the boundaries of Greece
are fixed as follows:—The line of demarcation will begin
at the mouth of the river Aspropotomas, and follow the
river to the height of the lake Arghelo-Castro, traverse
this lake and those of Vrachori and Saurowitsa ; from
thence it will run over mount Artolino, the peak of mount
Ixos, the valley of Callouri, and the peak of mount Oeta,
to the Gulf of Zeituni, which it reaches near the mouth of
the Sperchios. There will likewise appertain to Greece the
whole island of Negropoat, with the Devil's Islands, the
isleof Skiro, and the isles known by the name of Cyclades.
The protocol requires that the Government of Greece.
shall be monarchical, hereditary, and in the line of primo-
geniture. The Monarch will bear the title of Sovereign

Prince. This demarcation will displease the Greeks and
Philbellenists as much as the title of " Sovereign Prince"
given to the Prince of Saxe Coburg. We are persuaded
here that representations will be made, especially against
the former point. Yet little can be expected from them,
because the Greeks obtain by this arrangement more than
they had a right to expect, as, by the established principle
of the Allies, only that part of Greece which had conquered
its liberty could claim independence. In consequence of
this, the isle of Negropont ought to remain under the
Turkish Government, as it is almost entirely in the hands
of the Turks. All acts and papers relative to Greece will
be shortly laid before Parliament; Ministers only wait for
answers from St. Petersburgh and Constantinople."
The Augsburg Gazette gives the following open the
authority of private letters from Dalmatia :—" A horde of
Montenegrins have taken the castle of Cataro by assault,
with a horrible carnage among the Austrian garrison."

The following are extracts from Frankfort Papers
of the 7th instant, received this morning :

Lowaß Inas, iris. 24.
Great efforts are now making in Mecklenburg to render
the national manufactures more flourishing, and more espe-
cially to establish manufactories of woollen cloths which
the country does not now possess. With this view the
Government has sent several persons, at its own expense, to
Flanders and England, in order to collect the necessary in-
formation in the most celebrated manufacturing towns.

rsAlocrozT, MARCH 6.

The Official Journal of this city contains an Ordinance
of the Burgomasters and Senate of the free city of Frank-
fort, publishing the convention for the formation of the
Ecclesiastical Province (or Archbishopric) of the Upper
Rhine, the boundaries, the endowment, and the organisa-
tion of the five Bishoprics which compose it, with their
chapters, as well as the nomination to the Arekbishopric,
to the Bishoprics, and to the Prebends of the Chapters.
The five Bishoprics are— Friburg, Maymace, Fulda,
Rotheuburg, and Limburg', the Archiepiscopal dignity being
attached to the See of Friburg.

ILBERFILD, MARCH 4.

On the 2d instant there was a general meeting of the
shareholders of the Rhenish West India Company, in
which the proposal of the managers, as they were deve-
loped in the report of the directors of 25th of February,
were approved of more unanimously, some with the decisive
majority of 1104 to 44.

LUCERNE, MARCH 2.

The lake is now almost entirely thawed. Last week it
was so covered with ice that the market-boat from Uri,
which commonly arrives at Lucerne on Monday, could
not get in till Thursday.
A discovery has lately been made between Ichlieren and
Dietiken, in the bed cf the Limmat, which river is now
very shallow, of a number of large oak trees, which have
probably lain there these many centuries. Some of them
have been taken up without much trouble: they are in
good preservation, and have been sawn into boards.
FRANKFORT, Mancu I6.—Exchange on London, two
months, 152 i.

The petition against the East India Company
from London, lately presented by Mr. Por►Lsrr
THOMPSON, is an evidence of the incorrectness of
the assertions which have been made—that the
Merchants and Ship-owners of the Metropolis were
indifferent to the continuance or extinguishment of
the monopoly. It is not a very probable supposition
that any number of traders should be satisfied with
being excluded from participation in an extensive
commerce, nor is it very likely that Ship-owners,
who are complaining of the reduction of freights,
and of the increase of the number of foreign vessels
resorting to our ports, should prefer being shut out
from China, to having their just share in the traffic
now carried on by the East India Company in con-
cert with foreigners. It:is already in evidence before
the Committee that British manufactures have been
exported in considerable quantities in American
ships, and that the United States have often been
made the medium of our private trade with China.
It has been proved that our own merchants are
driven to employ foreign shipping, in order to carry
on indirectly a trade which, contrary to all reason,
and all justice, has been assigned to a Joint Stock
Company as its private property. " Companies of
all kinds," says Mr. HUSEISSON, " are now a days
out of fashion," and we believe them to be at pre.
sent, at least, as injurious to industry as they ever
were beneficial to it in earlier times.

Mr. ASTELL, the Chairman of the Company, and
a disinterested member of the Committee of Inquiry
into the affairs of the Company, in answer to Gen.
GASCOYNE'S very proper exhortation to the House
to consult the general interest of the country instead
of that of individuals, was pleased to observe that
" justice:ought to be done on abstract principles,
" without regarding whether millions of people, or
" only a few thousands, might be benefited by the
" result." Now we hope, that on some future oc•
casion, the Honourable Chairman will be requested
to state what those abstract principles are, which, in
the consideration of a measure of commercial policy,
ought to prevail over the welfare of the man of the
people ? To what end does the Legislature delibe-
rate, if it be not to promote the interests of the mil-
lions of whom the nation is composed ? Let the
Company show that the public will be losers by
the abolition of their monopoly, and their case will
be made out ; but any other principle—abstract or
concrete—upon which its continuance is defensible,
we defy Mr. ASTELL, or any other East India Di-
rector, to mention. We constantly hear abuses
justified under pretence of the public good, but it is
a rarity to find any one who openly assumes
that the nation exists for the benefit of a
Company, or that the State was designed for
the good of a few individuals. These abstract prin-
ciples are, in fact, the same as would justify all the
oppression and wrong that have been committed
since the world began—they would warrant any
amount of injustice—they would sanction the feel-
ings of the person who is reported to have said to
Cardinal RUFFO, when he represented, that if the
capitulation of 1799 had not been signed the Nea-
politans must have been exterminated—" What of
" that ? The walls of Naples would nevertheless
" have remained to the King I"
The settled principles of public economy are on
the side of the free-traders. It is for the Company
to rebut the presumption which every one who
knows any thing of the nature of trade, must enter-
tain in favour of an unrestricted intercourse with the
East ; and to show that their monopoly is an ex-
ception which ought to exist to our liberty of com-
merce with the whole of the-known, world. It must
be made out that there is a moral certainty of the
Chinese putting an end to the free trade, unless the
Company's servants are the sole traders; and if
the host of agents and supercargoes who continue
to be brought before the Committee, can satisfy
it that there is any such moral certainty, it ought
,to report accordingly; but we suspect these
gentlemen, with all their knowledge of China, and
all their zeal in the service of Leadenhall-street, will
be very far from carrying their testimony to any
such length. The Company is very active—but,
we trust, the commercial interests of the country
will not suffer themselves to be outstripped in acti-
vity. They should remember that whatever they
can do must be done now—that it will be too late
to talk of the information they could have adduced
when the Committee shall have made its report,—
and that it is not less important that evidence should
be given, than that it should be given quickly.—Bis

CITY, TWELTI O'CLOCK.

The Address by the Peers of France to the King, and
his answer, is looked on as very conciliatory ; his MaiedY
honours them with being good Judges, and knowing well the
meaning of the latter part of his speech, there is no doubt
but the Chambers will also comply to his request, and
accept of the olive branch.
Our arrivals this morning are very few, and not the
least important, consequently we are destitute of political
intelligence.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 92ii for the Ac-
count, opened at the same price; but the market at pre
sent appears rather languil, and Consols have seceded to
92i- to and for money 92 to 1, with little or nothing
doing.
In the Foreign Market there is not a feature worth ob..
serration, and the prices may be quotes' as per yesterday.

The Consol Market since the early part of the morning
has been very heavy, owing to 150,0001. Consols being
sold at 92, but within a short period a re-action has taken
place, and Consols are at present 92 for the Account ;
91- 92 for Money.
We also had a report that the Chancellor had put off
his Budget ; one might suppose had this been the ease, it
would have been announced in the House last night.
We understand that on Monday there will be a reduc-

In the Foreign Market the only business doing is in

mined from the effects of a fire somewhere near Kidmore

ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.-....We have
just heard of one of the most diabolical attempts at murder
in Wisbech by a man of known character, whose name
we have not yet ascertained. It appears he was in the act
of breaking some lamps near the bridge leading to Waist,-
ken, and was detected by a watchman, who pursued him,
telling him he need not run away, as he knew him well•
The villain immediately returned, and being a powerful
man, threw the watchman down, and made a most delve'
rate attempt to cut his throat, which happily was partly
prevented by the holding up of his arm, which was dread"
fully lacerated. The cries of the poor fellow alarmed
another watchman near the spot, whet immediately cam*
to his assistance, and secured the monster; who is own'
witted to Wisbech gaol.—Cambridge Chronicle'.
