Princess, to meet his MAJESTY.
ARGYLL. Rooms.—These rooms were opened
last night for the first of a series of Concerts
which CATALAN' submits to the British Public,
preparatory to her taking a final leave of the
Musical profession. The concert last night, in
point of selection and performance, was worthy
of the high professional character of this great
singer. The selections were from H AYDN,
ROSSINI, MOZART, BEETHOVEN, &C. but CATA-
LAN! was of course the chief, if not the only,
object of attention. On her entrance she was re-
ceived with the warmest acclamations, which she
gracefully returned. Her late tour has obviously-
increased her health and beauty. We wish we
had room to dwell upon her excellencies, but we
reserve ourselves for a future opportunity.—
Of six pieces, which she warbled with wonderful
precision and great sweetness, two were encored,
and, notwithstanding their fatiguing difficulty, she
repeated them with the most obliging prompti-
tude. CURIONI and PLACCI were the other vocal
Performers, and their Airs and Duets afforded
an agreeable variety. Mademoiselle PALLIZ
gratified the company with an Air and Variations
on the Harp, and YANI EWICZ and PIO CLAN-.
, CHETTINI also afforded much pleasure by their
performance on the Violin and Pianaforte. This
Concert may be considered as an admirable spe-
cimen of what are to ensue, and a numerous
audience testified by the warmest applause the
pleasure which they had received from the whole
of the entertainment.
CO-OPERATIVE AND ECONOMICAL SOCIETY.—
The Anniversary of this excellent Institution was
celebrated yesterday by a dinner at the Society's
Central House, Guilford-street East, Wilming-.
ton-square. Mr. QWEN, of New Lanark (on the
basis of whose propositions the Society has been
formed, by the spontaneous junction of a number
of families, chiefly of the working classes), was
present, and delivered a long and luminous ex-
position of his enlightened views and beneficent ,
projects, illustrated by engraved plans and draw-
ings. He forcibly contended that there was no
other means of relieving the distresses of the
country and the embarrassments under Which
even the highest interests of the State now labour,
than the adoption of his propositions ; and
we believe that few will hesitate to admit, that
a comprehensive plan for the renovation of the
public prosperity and the security of the public
happiness and tranquillity, has not _yet been de-
vised by any other individual, or by any of the
Authorized Bodies to which the public welfare
is especially entrusted. Every objection to Mr.
0 WiEN'S system had been satisfactorily answered,
except that it was contended, a priori, that the
families associated would not agree. The actual
condition of the Co-operative and Economical
Society,' however, which has been formed,.
under the most disadvantageous circumstances,
without capital, without suitable buildings,
without any influence or authority whatever,
and which has already attained to a high degree
of comfort, to the commencement of an admirable
system of training and education for the children,
and to the erection of improved buildings for the
more commodious execution of its various arrange-
ments, is a proof of the efficacy of the principles
for securing the cordial union of the associates.
The buildings which are in progress for the So-
ciety were shewn to the company before dinner ;
and it was intimated, that as soon as the number of
the Society (250 families) shall be completed, a
Gentleman has declazed his readiness to erect a
square, with all the requisite buildings, for their
accommodation. The erections now in progress,
amongst which is a dining-room 103 . feet .in
length, are therefore only for temporary occu-
pation by the Society. We have seldom derived,
from any numerous assemblage, the pleasure and
satisfaction which we experienced yesierdaysat
the meeting of this infant Association. There
was a modesty and simplicity in its conduct sin-
gularly expressive of propriety of feeling and
integrity of intention. It was evident that there
had been no preparations for show, no desire of
parade, no endeavour to give effect, or to catch
'approbation by the little artifices so often re-
sorted 'to when the object is to captivate the ima-
gination and excite the feelings of the benevo-
lent. All was plain, homely, and unostentatious.
The members and the company were as much at
ease as on any every day occasion ; and it was
quite obvious, that the Society had studied
no arrangements for the day, except the best
means of providing for the comfort of their
respectable visitors. This is an Institution which
really ought to occupy a prominent place in the
public eye,—to be supported by a liberal portion
of the public patronage,—and to be 'powerfully
aided in the completion of its organization, by
advances of capital on loan. We should re-
' joice to see a public subscription opened for this
purpose. The landed interest, in particular,
ought to see how deeply they are interested in
the success of projects calculated to effect a vast
increase, in the consumption of all kinds of do,
mestic products,

FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,
April 25, 1822.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The accounts from Italy deserve some notice.
It is pretty evident that the proceedings of the
Neapolitan Government disgusted even the Aus-
trian General, who went the length of threaten-
ing to withdraw the Army of Occupation, and
leave the wretched Ministry of King Ferdinand
of Naples to its fate. The history of the occur-
rences that disgusted General Frimont, and of
his remonstrance to the King of th. Two Sicilies,
is given. The great object of the public hatred
was the Prince Canosa, Minister of Police. This
man, on the first day of his being in office, or-
dered a Carbonaro to be scourged to death—and,
by his subaltern agents, procured a rabble crowd
to dance and howl in horrid exultation round the
victim during the sacrifice. The Austrian Ge-
neral testified his disgust at this atrocious and
arbitrary punishment, which the laws did not
recognise, and declared that no Austrian sol-
dier should protect the police in such acts.-
-The Government, however, went on ; arbi-
ttary arrests and punishments—but, above all,
armed bands of ruffians, agents of the police,
who scourged the capital and the kingdom,
arresting and robbing, spread the utmost
alarm. The Austrian posts disarmed some of
these bands, but they were sent forth again by
the Neapolitan police. General Frimont, upon
this, remonstrated directly with the King, whose
Ministers merely tried to obtain some time, and
secretly accused the Austrian General of being
the leader of the Carbonari. The General see-
ing things go on to the utmost pitch, declared
that he should instantly leave Naples with the
array, if the two most odious of the Ministers,
Canosa, above-mentioned, and Guarini, were
not dismissed. This was complied with. These
two, however, were still the advisers of the
Court. The Austrian General insisted upon
their being exiled, and that all prisoners but
those who had an actual share in the insur-
rection should be liberated. This became
the subject of a diplomatic correspondence
with Vienna, which ended in the Emperor
of Austria's declaring that he was the con-
stituted mediator between the King and
people of Naples—that he must protect the
latter against the former, as he had done
the former against the latter—and that, as
one of the most powerful Monarchs of Europe,
he was interested in interfering to prevent Mo-
narchy from being rendered odious by the go-
vernment of the King of Naples. We cannot
venture to judge whether this statement be cor-
rect. It may, however, possibly, and even pro-
bably, be true. The Austrians have no interest
in protecting the vindictive oppressions of the
Ministers of the King of the Two Sicilies. Some
of the foreign accounts go the length ot saying
that the Austrians are about to evacuate Naples.
1S se notice this merely to state the manner in
which King Ferdinand, in their absence, is to be
protected against the Carbonari. His Sicilian
Majesty has, it is stated, obtained permission
from his I3ritaunic Majesty to beat up for re-
cruits in Ireland, and raise 10,000 men, who,
-with a regiment of Albanians, are to occupy the
places of strength to be evacuated by the Aus-
trians !!

[Tun TIMES.]
Paris Papers of Monday were received last
night by express. The Journal des Debuts con-
tains a letter from Madrid, dated the 11th inst.,
in which there is a passage of a very singular
complexion. I t intimates that the Spanish Ambas-
sador had quitted Paris, and that the French
Ambassador; having received his letlres de conge,
was also on the point of quitting the Court of
Madrid ; but the whole of the text, together
with a note by the Editor, is very obscurely ex-
pressed. It will readily be conceived that the
Court of the Tuilleries is not very well affected
towards the Liberal party of Spain. But it is
not likely, we should hope, that ill-will should
break forth into hostile action.

[NEW TIMES.]
Ti►e proceedings of the House of Commons
last night are not likely to be read with much
interest—for the principal subject of discussion
was the imprisonment of Henry Hunt. Sir F.
Burdett moved that an Address be presented to
the King, praying that he would be pleased to
remit the punishment which that offender has
still to undergo according to the sentence of the
law. There was nothing new or particularly
worthy of notice in the speech of the Honourable
Baronet. Mr. Dawson gave good reasons for
some of the privations to which the suffering pa-
triot had been subjected, and Mr. Peel replied
satisfactorily to the observations of Sir F. Bur-
dett. It is scarcely necessary to add, that the
motion was negatived by a great majority. In
the early part of the evening Mr. Ituskisson
again alluded to the Brewers and the Price of
Porter, and repeated his promise that he would
bring in some measure to ensure to the public a
fair participation in the advantages arising from
the reduction of the Malt Tax.

[MORNING POST.]
In the early part of the evening Mr. Huskisson
presented a Petition from Reading, relative to
the high price of Beer in that town, in conse-
quebee` of the monopoly which the Brewers en-
joy ; in doing which, lie alluded in very pointed
terms to the grievances 'thus inflicted on the
public in the Metropolis. He forcibly observed
that if something were not speedily done by
those concerned, measures would be taken, at
no remote 'time, to - ensure a reduction in the
price of that article, not only equal to the
Malt Tax recently remitted, but also to the al-
tered cost of its manufacture. It is worth re-
marking, that this Petition stated the licensing
of public-houses in Reading tq be vested in the
Corporation ; that the Corporation consisted 'of
the Magistrates of the town ; that the Magis-
trates were themselves the brewets ; and there-
fore that it was impossible, under the present
system, to have a single free house. Mr. Buxton,

as connected with one of the brewing .establish-
mentg of the metropolis, notified, in reply,,that
in a very 'short time the' price of beer would be
reduced. The Hon. Gentleman also expressed
himself strongly in favour both of a revision of
the existing mode of granting licenses, and of a
free trade, so far as concerned the brewers. This
intelligence will, we are sure, be gratifying to
the public.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The Marquis of Londonderry was prevented,
we believe by indisposition, from attending in the
House of Commons last night. The Noble Lord's
absence induced Sir Robert Shaw to postpone to
next Wednesday his motion for a repeal of the
Irish Window fax. Mr. Calcraft hinted at the
wisdom of repealing in Coto the assessed taxes un-
posed upon Ireland, and offered reasons so valid
in support of his opinion, that we cannot doubt
of their making a strong impression in favour of it.
Mr. Huskisson again referred to the continued high
price of malt liquor in the capital, and expressed
his intention of proposing a measure to Parliament
for the purpose of ensuring to the public the en-
joyment of the boon which had been granted by
the reduction of the malt duty. The unwilling-
ness of the great brewers to make a proportionate
reduction in the price of beer, makes us the more
regret that the amount of taxation proposed to
be reduced was not takea from salt instead of
malt.—The case of Henry Hunt's imprisonment
was made the subject of a long discussion. Sir
Francis Burdett moved an Address to the Crown,
praying for a remission of what yet remains of
his imprisonment. The motion was energetically
opposed by the Ministers, and was pressed to a
division. The numbers were—for the motion 84;
against it 223—majority 139.

['MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The disgraceful business of Ilchester Gaol,
after several delays, was at length brought be-
fore the House last night, by Sir Francis Burdett,
in a manly and feeling speech. It was generally
expected, we believe, that Ministers, ashamed of
the disproportionate severity of Mr. Hunt's sen-
tence—ashamed of the mean and pettifogging
arts (for they deserve no other name) which
have been resorted to, in order to effect the ruin
of that individual—would endeavour to hush the
matter up by a measure which might render a
further Parliamentary exposition unnecessary.—
They have been more anxious,' however, to
indulge their vindictive feelings than to re-
lieve themselves from well merited odium ; and
to display, in their inroads into Mr. Hunt's
private relations, a paltry hypocrisy of which
we really thought them incapable. A Petition
from this Gaol was formerly contemplated ; but
the persons concerned in the Petition were afraid
to persist in their complaints, however just, and
it was stated by the prisoners on this examina-
tion, that they were also afraid to make their
complaints known to the Visiting Magistrates.—
It required all the firmness and peculiar shrewd-
ness of Mr. Hunt (and every one who has read
the evidence will allow that his exertions on this
occasion have really been astonishing), to such
ceed in effecting an exposure of the atrocities
which can take place in an English gaol, under
the very eye of Magistrates. It may truly be
said of him, in the language of Sir Francis Bur-
dett, that " in instituting, under such circum-
stances, an inquiry which did him so much
credit, and the country so much benefit—
an inquiry conducted with an ability and
fortitude which was equalled by few, and not ex-
ceeded by any, he was entitled to the praise and
gratitude of all the people of England. Indeed,
the people had occasion to rejoice in his suffer-
ings, inasmuch as they have been productive of
such results ; for he had not only put an end to
the disgraceful cruelty which was practised in
llchester Gaol, but he had also done that which
would operate as a check upon every other Gaoler
in the country." We sincerely wish it may ope-
rate as such a check ; but, while there are so
many Clerical Magistrates taking the lead in all
matters of this kind, in hopes of rising in their
profession by subserviency to power, we almost
fear that, though more cunning may be display-
ed, the amount of oppression will not be greatly
diminished.

ANNUAL CATTLE SIIEW OF TIIE BOARD OF
AGRICULTURE.-011 Monday morning the spa-
cious yard and premises of Mr. ALDRIDGE, in
Little St. Martin's-lane, were opened for the ex-
hibition of the farmitTg live stock of nearly all the
descriptions, which had been sent up from the
various counties, as competitors for the premiums
offered by the Society of Subscribers, who conti-
nue the name, and pursue, out of their own funds,
the objects which the late Government Board of
Agriculture had under its charge. A consider-
able number of very fine animals, some fat and
others in store or breeding condition, were ex-
hibited, and were much admired by a considerable
assemblage of the noble and distinguished patrons
of improved live stock, and by breeders and
graziers from most of the counties within two
hundred miles of the metropolis.—The dinner
took place in the afternoon at the Freemasons'
Tavern, the Earl of MACCLESFIELD in the chair.
It was not very numerously attended.

The emigration from Ireland ,to this country
is as great, if not greater now than ever. Through-
out the winter, the number of persons that have
arrived at Ayr port alone is incalculable. Up-
wards of one hundred and fifty were landed there
in the course of foUr days in the beginning of the
month.—(Edinburgh Courant, April 22.)
