SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 25.—1 n consequence of
a requisition to the Mayor (GEORGE ATHERLEY, Esti.), very
numerously .and respectably signed, a public meeting was
held at the Audit-House this day, at twelve o'clock, in
behalf of the suffering Irish. Resolutions were entered
into for an immediate subscription, which were introduced by
Dr. Wightman, who, in a brief speech, alluded to the pleasing
spectacle that is presented by the zeal and energy of the British
nation, in favour of the sufferers in the sister kingdom. Famine,
' in itself always sufficiently terrible, may be expected, in their
cases, as in so many similar instances, to be followed by
pestilence. .Hence the most prompt and the most _liberal mea-
sures that public generosity can adopt, are demanded by the
urgency of the present most painful case. Resolutions were
put and carried, the purport of which was that books be opened
at the different banks in fie town to receive subscriptions,
which are to be transmitted to the Committee in London.
Thanks having been unanimously voted to the Mayor, the
meeting was dissolved.

NE-Yr WEEK.—The "girth Day of our late
revered Monarch, Next Tuesday, is the day fixed
on for drawing the State Lottery ; and as the
whole is to be decided in One Day, the Two
grand Money Prizes of Twenty Thousand Pounds,
and all the other Money Capitals and small
Prizes, must he all drawn that day. Bisn's
Offices appear to be the favourites ; perhaps
this is because he sold in Shares both the Two
last Prizes of Twenty Thousand Pounds ever
drawn.

PIDDING and Co., No. 1, Cornhill, are certain
there are two Points in the present Lottery,
which, having always been favourite Points with
the Public, will require very few words by way
of eulogy—one is, there will be no suspense, the
whole Lottery being to be decided in one Day,
(Next Tuesday)—the other.is, that the Tickets
and Shares are sold at a cheap Rate—yet there
are not two Blankg to a Prize—No Fixed Prizes
All Sterling Money—Sixteen Capitals, all afloat.
—and Two of 20,000.—PIDDING and Co.
have rather a confident- prepossession that-some
of these are now on sale at the Lucky Corner,

ROYAL WEST LONDON INIPIRMARY LYING-IN
INSTITUTION, CHARING-CROSS.

. .
Yesterday. the Anniversary. festival' of this ex-
cellent" Society was celebrated at the Freemasons'. Tavern. His
Royal Highness the Duke of Yofk We'd 'to have presided on the
occasion, but from some unknown cause did not make his ap-
pearance. The company, waited till seven o'clock, the dinner
being ordered at half-past five, and were almost ready to despair,
when Mr. Pettigrew, the Surgeon of the Institution, dispelled
all their fears by stating that the Institution had received a letter
from Major-General Sir Robert Taylor, dated the 22d of May
1822; which stated " that he was ordered by his Royal. High-
ness to say that he had not fozgotten his
,promise to attend the
Anniversary-of the London Infirmary ; ' now he, •Mr. Petti-
grew, must conclude that, not having heard from his Royal
Highness since that period, and, of course, not concluding he
had altered his mind, he could not do otherwise than think his
Royal Highness had been-detained at his Levee this day. In
consequence of so great a disappointment the Society felt con-
siderable embarrassment. Under .such difficulty he had the
. satisfaction to inform the Company that the Hon. Washington
Shirley had kindly consented to take .the Chair.---(Applause.)
After the cloth was removed, Non Nais Dontine was given
with fine effect by Messrs. Pyne, Lewis, Taylor, Watson, and
Tinney.
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, that he had taken the
Chair under extreme difficulty on an extraordinary occasicn—an
occasion which called for powers of. the first order—powers to
which he had no claim ; he begged therefore, if he did not come
up to the ideas of the company, they would excuse him; he would
do hiss utmost, and trusted he .should meet with their support.
He was conscious that he could not fill the Chair with such eclat
as His Royal Highness.—(Applause.)—He should not' detain
them any longer, but conclude by saying, he hoped they would
take the will for the deed.
" The King," " Royal Family," and " The Azmy and
Navy," were then given. •
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose a toast, which. he was sura
every man present would drink with heartfelt zeal—The health
of " His Royal Highness the Duke of York," With three times
three.
•
After which the
.CHAIRMAN rose and observed, that-he
begged once more tointrude upon' their time and attention. It
was on a subject which he was sure when they 'Considered it
they would not grudge their time, their interests,.their best en,
deavours, to prorhote a most meritorious Charity—he meant the '
London Infirmary. He assured them that no one could be
more sincere in his wishes for the welfare of this Charity than
himself; he 'therefore proposel to 'give `4 Prosperity to the
London Infirmary."
Mr.•PETTIGRtIV read the Report of the. Societ', which
presented a most flattering account, and stated a'great number
of individuals that had becn- relieved. He made. various coin,
meats on-the great utility of the Society, the ninny advantages
it possessed, and claims it had on all classes of .people. He
concluded by saying, that flattering as the Report was, still he
begged to say, that such a Society could not continue in so
prosperous a way without the aid of 'further contributions,
)wanting-on
which, he. trusted would not be- so good an oc-
casion.

" The Royal Patroni and Patronessei of the Society," the
healths of the Chairman, the Marquis of Anglesea, the Presi.
dent of the Institution, the Medical Officgs.of the Society,
and other toasts; followed, and were acknowledged in appro.
priate spee'ches. .

they graze upon thearapet,leavingfregueut traces of their con-
tact on both sides. The'frequency ofsuch catastropes at this spot
calls for some regulation' whith mhq preiedt their recurrence
the driver ought to be ordered to walk before the horse that
draws the tram, and to warn those who might be already on
the bridge to retire, and those approaching to keep back till
the waggons had crossed,—( Edinburgh Courant, May 25.)

EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,
May 28, 1822.

[MORNING POST.]
It is highly gratifying to find that the satisfac-
tion expressed and felt by the public at the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement on Fri-
day night, is quite as universal and strong as we
anticipated. One thing, however, must now be
attended to, in order that the people may derive
the fill benefit from the remission of taxes,
which his Majesty's Ministers have been at such
pains to afford, consistently with the State and
the integrity of the national credit: In mention-
ing the reduction of the Leather Tax, Mr. Van-
sittart emphatically suggested the necessity of
the utmost vigilance of Parliament to see that
the price of leather fell to the consumer, in the
proportion which the duty on it is now diminished•
He himself had great doubts on the subject, and
particularly as Leather had not been reduced
in price since the peace, proportionably to
the fall in the raw article from which it is
manufactured. These doubts our Readers may
be assured are well founded. The Leather Trade
has at present got into the hands of a few large
capitalists, who, like the Brewers, act in concert,
and possess the closest monopoly of the market.
If they should, therefore, attempt to keep pos-
session of the Tax now remitted, we trust it will
be again imposed, and some other duty, operat-
' ing more directly on the public, repealed instead
of it. To justify these remarks, we would ob-
serve, that so far from I I ides, or Peltry in gene-
ral being at the rate they were during the war,
they are now a drug in the market. In the mean
time, too, every thing expended in their manu-
facture has fallen greatly in price, but there is,
withal, scarcely any decline in Leather. Some-
thing of the same vigilance will be well bestowed
enforcing the practical remission of the Salt Tax ;
and on the whole the public owe it to his Ma-
jesty's Ministers to co-operate in carrying their
plans for relieving the country into the, fullesl
effect.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The designs of Russia with respect to Turkey
a short time will now serve to discover. It is
difficult to believe that Russia will withdraw
armies which she has moved to her southern
frontier at an expellee nearly ruinous to so poor
a Power) without an indemnification. But how
is she to be indemnified ? England cannot bribe
her to inactivity, and Austria is as poor as her-
self. The personal character of the Emperor
Alexander is variously represented. Some con-
sider hula Jesuit, others a weak hut well mean-
ing man, flattered with the idea of being at the
head of Legitimacy in Europe, and having it in
his power to turn the scale in favour of the divine
right•of Kings to gover❑ wrong, or the rights of
the people.—No one however supposes that the
Russians have renounced the dazzling plans pre-
sented to their ambition by Catharine. The
personal inclinations of Alexander, Autocrat as
he is, cannot alone decide this matter—The
feelings of the Russian ,Nobles and Army must
, be more or less consulted, even if the opinion of
the Cabinet should be disregarded. We can
hardly bring ourselves to think that mere con-
siderations of regard for the safety of the Holy
Alliance would be palatable with the Russians,
who are not yet sufficiently advanced in civiliza-
tion to appreciate a refined policy of this descrip-
tion. Another policy was openly attributed to
the Russian Nobles by the Greeks who fell in
the principalities, namely, that of a wish to see
the most active and enterprising of the Greek
population destroyed, that there . might after-
wards be no obstacle to their becoming absolute
lords of the soil. We leave it,for those who are
best acquainted with the Russian aristocracy, to
say how far they are capable of harbouring such
views.

[Tii•E TTMES .]

[NEW TIMES..
The Constitutional Association, which the
Radicals flattered themselves had become ex-
tinct, has most effectually convinced them of
their error, by obtaining another verdict. " The
man without a name" was yesterday tried, at
the prosecution of this most excelleht and patrio-
tic Society, before Mr. common Serjeant Den.
man and a Special Jury, and was found guilty o
publishing a most blasphemous and sedi,..
libel. The sentence passed On this offender is
alone a high eulogium on the Association for
having brought him to justice. In addition to the
five months' imprisonment which he has suffered
by his own contumacy, he has now been, sen-
tenced to eighteen months longer confinement in
the House of Correction; and to find bail for his
good behaviour for five years more.—No person
of common decency can hesitate to regard this
man as a most proper object for prosecution.—
Frog.) the shameless conduct which he displayed
on his trial (and which was such as to render it
necessary to clear the Court of the females and
boys who were present), it is easy to conceive
what mischief he might have done in corrupting
the youthful and inexperienced, if his course had
not been arrested by. the vigilance of the Consti-
tutional Association. Now we see why this most
valuable Institution is reviled : now we see why
the pestilent venom of The Old Times is
poured forth against it. Let the friends of
sound Constitutional Liberty, of pure morals,
and of the Christian Religion, only shew half the
zeal in support and encouragement of the Con-
stitutional Association, which its enemies display
in clamour and calumny against it ; and it will
not only remain a scourge and terror to evil
doers, but a safeguard to the precious fabric of
our laws and liberties.

The new scheme for converting the bulk of
pensions into long annuities being now fairly be-
fore the country, as a proposed act of Ministers,
we are more at liberty to discuss its full merits,
or rather demerits. While -the measure was in
agitation between Government- and the South
Sea Company, our remarks were chiefly confined
to the pretensions and interests of the contracting
parties. The measure is now in its incipient
state, as a public one between the Government
