ST. ANN'S, ALDERSGATE, KENT AND SURREY

CHARITY.

Yesterday the Anniversary Dinner of this excellent Charity
was held at the London Tavern, where upwards of two hub-
dred of the most respectable Gentlemen sat down to a sump-
tuous dinner. At a little after six o'clock his Royal Highness
the Duke of Sussex entered the room, accompanied by the Hon.
Washington Shirley, and most of the City Aldermen.
After the cloth was drawn, the usual ;patriotic toasts were
' drunk, and the accompanying songs and anthems sung in great
style by Air. Broadhurst, and several other eminent vocalists ;
after which the Royal Chairman gave—" The City of London,
and the Trade thereof."--Glee, Ye Gentlemen of England,
that live at home at ease," was sung with great effect.
The Royal CHAIRMAN then rose, and called the attention
of the Meeting to the objects of this Charity, and said it
afforded him great satisfaction to perceive that the number
of its supporters who came forward to celebrate the anni-
versary of this, was much greater than that of the patrons on
the former year. It afforded him great satisfaction, as it
was a proof of the increased prosperity of this ancient
Charity. He called it ancient, because it had existed now
for nearly a century and a quarter, and was the parent So-
ciety from which nearly all the Charitable Societies in the
Metropolis had, from its example, emanated. That such -a
Society, which did not confine the exercise of its benevolence to
any particular parish or district, but required only that the pa-
rents should be indigent, to entitle the objects to admission ;
—that a Society, with such extensive objects, should sub-
sist amongst the numerous local Societies which had the
strongest claims upon the funds of the charitable, was a
sufficient proof of its excellence ; but that it had gone on
increasing stamped its superiority, and satisfied him of its
continued success and prosperity. His Royal Highness con-
cluded by saying that he felt most warmly for this charity, on
account of its having been the one which gave rise to all the
others that met the eye wherever they turned, and which did
honour to the City. His Royal Highness alluded to the cir-
cumstance of one of the objects of the Society having so far
prospered in the world as to enable him to become an active
contributor to the funds of that Charity from which he had re-
ceived his education. His Royal Highness then proposed,
" Success to the Charity of St. Anne, and may its objects be-
come contributors."

The toast was drunk with three times three.
A procession of the children, whose fine appearance'did ho-
nour to the conductors, then went round the room, and one of
the little boys delivered a 'well-written poetical address, the
production of Mr. C. Corbould. The Royal Chairman made a
most feeling address to the children, which, from its manner,
must make an indelible impression on all those who heard it.
The health of the Royal Chairman was drank, and he re-
turned thanks.

Aldermen Atkins and Thompson severally addressed the
meeting, as did also Sheriffs (karratt and Venables, and several
gentleihen of eminent philanthropy.
The Meeting continued together until a late hour, in the ut-
most conviviality, and a large subscription was made.

MARRIAGE IN' niGH LIFE.-Mr. Pym, second son of Mr.
Pym, M.P., will, in a few days, lead to the hymeneal altar
Miss Gambier, niece of Admiral Lord Gambier. Yesterday
Mr. and Mrs. Pym entertained the parties and their friends with
a sumptuous dinner, at their residence in Wimpole-street.

Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, it seems, had been
upwards of twenty-five years in the service of his
Royal Master, and enjoyed a much higher order
of confidence than was ever possessed by the de-
parted Gentleman usually denominated " JACK
PAYNE," or the late Colonel M'MAnoN ; and
it is said, besides, that his employment was of a
much more respectable description. The loss,
therefore, must be a subject of regret on both
sides, from whatever• cause it has arisen. We
learn, however, that the Baronet is to attain the
honours which he had solicited—a proof that
his conduct is considered to have been such as
renders him fully deserving of them.

Sir RONALD 6RAWFURD FERGUSON, K.C.8.,
las resigned his Commission as Deputy Lieu-

tenant of the County of Fife.
It is not true, as stated in some of the news-
papers, that no fatal duel has taken place in
Scotland since Sir GEORGE RAmsAy's in 1790.—
Mr. Livingston shot Mr. Booth in the neigh-
bourhood of Aberdeen, about 1804. In 1810,
Surgeon Cahill, 25th Foot, shot Captain Ruther-
ford, at Haddington ; and was afterwards tried
for murder before the High Court of Justiciary,
when the Jury, by a plurality of voices, found
Mr. Cahill—" Not Guilty."—(Scotch Paper.)

. _
In one of the late debates in the French
Chamber of Deputies, M. de BONALD referred
to a curious expression which BUONAPARTE bad
used respecting the difficulty of governing the
French :—" How," said the late Emperor to
M. de FONTANES, " how is it possible to govern
a nation which reads Voltaire and Rousseau ?"

J. H. SMYTH, Esq., one of the Representatives
for the University of Cambridge, is detained at
his seat, near Wakefield, by a very serious indis-
position, which is likely to prevent his attendance
in the House for some time.

A furious conflict is said to have taken place
in Pampeluna between the troops and the citi-
zens, which lasted several hours, and in which
forty or fifty persons on both sides perished.

TANDVM 111Aicit.—Mr. -R. HouLsT ow's match for fifty
guineas, to drive a tandem 15 miles in one hour, and to trot
the first seven miles, took place yesterday, over a four mile
fiat, on the Bromley road. The horse did the first four miles
in 18 minutes and 22 seconds, and the other three in 14 mi-
nutes 8 seconds, leaving► 27 minutes for the eight miles gallop.
The horse did the eighth mile in 3 minutes 10 seconds ; the
next four in 13 minutes 12 seconds, and the remaining three
miles in 10 minutes and 50 seconds, winning the match by 18
seconds. It was a fine performance, and the pacing of the
horse at the gallop was a fine treat. Betting was 5t04 on
ime.
