ItiJSSIAT Sl)Bt3RitEri&;

A Meeting was yesterday held tt Lloyd's—so
lately the scene of Russian sufferings. iii England,
for theTurpose of contributing from the'FundS of
that Institution to the subscription .in aid of the
Russian distresses; occasioned by the invasion of
that country by the French.
Mr. MArtuYAT, as Chairman of the Committee,
stated, that the present Meeting had &yen conven-
ed in consequence of a requisition signed by six-
teen Subscribers ; he Observed, "that the chtirita-.
ble contributions of Lloyd's had hitherto been Con-
fined to naval objects, as being iminediatly Con-
pected with. the establishment, with the excep-
tion of a grant that was made to an hospital,
which, irons its contiguity to the river Thames,
was in the habit of receiving merchant seamen
who might meet with accidents. The ill effects
that might result from a deviation in the, present
instance from general practice, could be obviated
by a Resolution that it should not be made a pre-
cedent for any future demand. lie left the subject,
however, to the support of those Gentlemen, who,
having signed the requisition, would, no doubt,
deliver their sentiments.

After a very. considerable pause Mr. DAvtp
CARRUTIIF,RS stated, that having signed the Re-
quisition, he would, by inquiring what was. the
present state of the ,Funds of Lloyd's, deter-
mine what sum., to pt'opase should be given to the
Russians.
Mr. MAIVAYAT said the Funds consisted of
1E3,0001.3.per cent. stock, and 30001, in the hands
of the Bankers.

Mr. CArtaurugas observed, he should offer no
argument ; the good sense of the Gentlemen pre-
sent would point out the propriety of subscribing.
to the relief' of the inhabitants of Russia, and he
would move that 1000/. be voted for that purpose.
The motion having been seconded,
Mr. BPNTLEY stated, that however painful to
deny the calls of humanity, he felt it his duty to
resist the attempt to appropriate the 'Vinyls of
Lloyd's so differently to the purposes for which
they were originally intended; The Chairman had
confessed it would be wrong, by propOsing to
guard against doing the like in future, he there-
fore moved the previous quOtCon, which having
been seconded,

Mr. CHAS. GRANT said, that he had never
spoken at a public meeting, but would, with per-
mission, read a speech upon the subject, which had
been, made in another place '(we believe in Edin-
burgh) by his brother.
The CHAU:NAN informed Mr.' Grant that the
Meeting would be glad to hear any obsetvations
that he'himself might wish to make, but not those
of another person not present.
Mr. B. SnAw thought that the Russians bad
suffered as much in the cause of Great Britain as
their own, as by their exertions the commerce of
this cOuntry would be benefited. A star had risen
front the conflagration' of Moscow, which bad il-
luminated all* Europe, and would lead to the de-
liverance of the Continent front the bondage of
Buonaparte.
The previous iluestion,was then put and nega-
tived, and the vote of 10001. to the ituss'ian Fund
earrie4.:

A Resolution was then proposed, that the pre=
lent grant shonld not be Made a precedent but,
in future, the Funds of•LloyWs should be confined
to marine objects.
Mr. Rowcitorr congratt;luted the Meeting upon
the happy occasion that had called for the vote
that had just pass, d—the happiness a Cheat 13ri-
tain had been in this case in proportion to the
miseries of the Russians. AS their sufterings
been unparalleled, he did not expect there would
recur the opportunity of a. similar vote ; he did
not, therefore, se.the necessity of passing u Re-
solution that it might,not be made a precedent.
-.The Resolution was afterwards :withdrawn. The
sum Of 1001. was then.voted for the subscription
at Wexford, in behalf of the families of 14 Tool
who were washed away, whilst employed in the
erection of u light-house, 'and the Meeting ad-
journed,

On 'Monday and Tuesday she took au airing in

On Sunday evening, between six and seven
o'clock, as the Duke of CumaettLAND %vas ri;iiug
in his carriage in Hyde-Park, near the entrance
into Kensington, the horses took fright, and ran
away furiously thropgh the town of Kensington,
down the road. The carriage, and those whom it
conveyed, would, in all probability, have bevn
dashed to pieces, had not the servants called out
to the toll-gate keeper to shut the gate, which' he
accordingly did; just as the horses had reached it.
When the carriage was stopped, the Royal Duke
looked out of the window, in the greatest con-
sternation, and inquired where he was? He got
out of the carriage, and remained a short time in
the toll-house. He then walked a short distance,
and a hackney coach being procured, ha pursued
his journey. .Although the road was thronged
ith carriages; yet providentially, the horses
cleared them all, and no accident happened.
Sudden Death.--Yesterday afternoon, about
two o'clock, as Mr. Inman, a •gentleman from
Bristol, was returning from the com-
pany with a friend, at the corner of Bncklersbury,
Waihrook, he made a sudden halt, and instantly
dropped down dead. His body was immediately
conveyed into a neigilhouring house, and after-
wards removed to Walbrook church, where it
now remains. The deceased had nearly 10,0001.
in his hands when he fell, which propertyis se.

THE EMIT, OF MOIRA:.

titude so justly due front the Fraternity to-..,-tr:l%
their beloved Brother, the Earl of Moirr, preu.

ous to his departure as CoVernor-General of In-
dia, was attended, not only by A iiiimerou•
blage of Brethren resident in London ,but by •de-.
putations from many of the Provincial Lodges of
the most remote partt of 'Elie appli-
cations for tickets were so overwhelming:, that it
was impossible to accommodate Masons recomt
mended to attention from their rank in the
Society, and notwithstandin;, that the Haft and
adjoining rooms Were erowd'ed with the assem-
blage,
.a very great nuniber were unavoidably
'disappointed of being .present at this grand cere-
mony.
The company met in the usual manner, with
the procession of the officers', Ltc, and, after par•
taking of a sumptuous repast, the healths of the
King and the Prince Regent were drunk with en-:.
'thutiastic applause, the baud playing, " GQd
the King': and the musical Gentlemen present
singing that. loyal anthem and the song of the
t, Prince and Old Eughand.for erer,"
The Royal Chairman, the Duke of Sussex,.D-
puty Grand Master, next proposed the health of
the " Duke of York and the Army," introduced
by a suitable eulogium, in which he noticed his
Royal Highness's attention to the comforts of the
soldiers, and his care to make them feel the bene-
fits of the Constitution for which they were fight-
ing. The toast was received with shouts Of ap-
probation, and his Royal riighnes,s returned his
thanks for the honour'conferred upon laiui.
Glee---" 1b arms:"

The.. " Duke of Clarence and the Nnvr" wco
then proposed, and: met With similar plaudits.—
The Royal Duke made his acknowledgments; and
in reply to the accompanying remarks of theChair-
m,nt, as to his having reached the highest 'dignity.
of his profession, through evcrygradation of rank,
observed, that so lung as ever}' sailor must go
through the regular rudiments before he could ac-
quire command, the country would have Cause to
be satisfied with the Navy.---Song and music--
Rule Britannia,"

The health of the other branches of the Royal
Family present at the meeting, the Dukes •of
KENT, CUMBERLAND, alld GLOUCESTER, were
drank, linked . together in masonic unity ;
for which the Duke of KZNT returned thanks for
himself and Royal relatives, and 'expressed their
anxious wish .forthe. prosperous voyage of Lord
Moira to his destination',, and his happy return to
his native laud.

The Earl of Moms next rose, and proposed the
health of the illustrious Chairman, the Duke of
Sussex ; and in doing so, ,expatiated on the ser-,
vices he had rendered to masonry, and the virtues
which so much endeared hiet to them all. The
pleasure of this offering wils increased by the con-
sideration, that it was his Royal Highness's birth-
day, on which they bad the oppollimity of per-
sonally wishing him happiness, length of days,
and Many returns of this anniversary..
His Royal Highness expressed his sense of the
fervent marks of approbation which followed this
proposition, and'offered himself to amend any in-
conveniencies to which, from the crowd, tiny of
the visitors might have been subjected. It was,
lie could assure them, his anxious wish, and the
earnest desire of . the stewards and Managers,
that they shbuld all be comfortable and happy.
The Royal Chairtneu then proceed to the ob-
ject of this day's meeting. It was his pleasing
task, he observed, to be the organ of coin atunicat,
ingthe grateful sense of his Brethren to the 'Noble
Person, who for .r.!4 yeary had presided over their
interests, with the most ardent zeal
,and beneficial
attachment. He took a view of the military and
political Character of the Noble Earl, and partici'.
tarty pointed out those periods in either which
called most for the admiration of the priblic He
subsequently expatiated on the private and ma-
conic virtues of- the Noble Earl, and coneboled
by giving his health,- as the friend of his Prince,
the friend of his country, and. the friend of the
poor.
Lord MOIRA, in an admirable address-, acknow-
ledged the hollow-doe bun. 'lt was said, that
from the abundanceof the heart the .tongue spoke,
but he could not vouch for the truth of this axiom.
He never wished more for the command: of lan-
guage to express his feelings, but all he could say
was, his heart WaS full. The praises bestowed
upon him, were too 'powerful"to admit of that
spring of spirit necessary fur the fit acknowledg-
ment of them. He, howevez, feltall thejr kind-
ness. As for the exaggerated encomium _of the
Royal Chairman, it flowed from tinit brotherly
feeling, which, in Masons, tempted them to. over-
look.every demerit, and magnify every. merit in
another. His Royal Hignhess had irrileed drawn
a portraiture with a master's hand; trusting that
the beaoty of the outline,: and the vividness of
the coloaring, would excuse a. deviation front the
resemblaoce. All he asked was credit for good
intention's', and his being ever ready in the cause
of his country. This was all the merit he claim-
ed, and among his obligations to his Prince, he
deemed it the first, that he had ,placed him in a
situation where he had an opportunity of eudear-
ing himself to the Brethren of this Society. He
commented upon the honour they received front
the presence of so many' of the Royal. Family,
which evinced their love of the craft, and of-
fered an example to' the world, of the happiness
of England, where Priuces joined in all the social
relations of life, and authority, as in other
cotentrieS„ Aid not parch up and wither the cent-

Recurring to a warm panegyric upon the Noble
Earl, he invested him with the Jewel prepared for
the occasion, and presented by the Society of
Masons, not as a mere recollection, but to carry
with him as a bright starto lead him to 'glory in
India,, and a safe return to his admiring bret:ll'ol'..
The jewel, a most brilliant badge, ,Was paraded
round the Lodge, and ;finally snspended abottk his,

Chair, and retnrued thanks .in a speech replete with
feeling, energy, and elmrence. Ile would wear it,

ARCHITEcTURAL ENCROACUMENTS.

LORD YAR,IOI)TD V. LORD MONTFORT.

An information, palmed by LOrd Yarmouth,
against Lord Alont:Ort, :LAI Mr. 'Wyatt, the archi-.
teet, for encroachments, under the Building Act,
was yesterday heard at Marlborough-street Office,
befUrc 'Messrs. CONANT uud. NEVE, Sitting :Ma-
gistrates,
There 'were three cownts In theinformation,
complaining of erecting ci ‘l-111, which projected
1-1 inches beyond the gerwral line of the fronts of
the hOuses in Seymour-place ; ojection of a
boW window at the back of Lard-'Montlort's house
in Park-lane, and of the erection of a high wall
adjoining. Lord Varniouth's. The houses of the
two Noble Lords are situated next to each other,
Lord MOntfort hfiviug lately built his, having*ob-
tained m renewal of his lease of the Dean and
Chapter a WeStroinster.

. . .
Mr.. QUItNEY attenkci in support of the .infar-
!nation, aud 'Mr. ALLEY fOr Lord Montfort. •

In support of the information, several District
Surveyors, Architects,, &c. were Called, who ave
their opinion, that the several subjects of com-
plaint were contrary to the Building t; that the
wall which incommoded the house of Lord Yar-
Mouth was not a party Wall, and that the front of
Lord Montfort's house MIS ai prOje6tion of 14
inches over the general -line of the Itonts of the
houses, ttarlietted the. complainant's area.
. Mr. At,cri.:, for the defendant, Contended, that
there was 110 incroacitwent upon the Building Act
proved. The site where his client's house was
erected was originally stabling, cnach,houses, &r.
AO the wall complained of was a party Wall,
which his client had a right, to run up to any
heii;lit. Not an inch of ineroachment in the line
of baildilgs had been made, and it would be too
Dwelt for the )lagiStrites to pull down the freel
hold of the Dean of Westminster upon slight
grounds.
In snpport of the defence, several witnesses;
amongst whom were Mr. Wyatt, Mr. Cockerell,
and other Architect's, Builders,. and Surveyors, '
were ~called, all of whom considered. the wall:.
which had been run up as a party wall, as origi-
tinny intended so before the Building Act. They
did not conceive neither, that any incroachtnent
had been Made upon the. general line of the
street. •

- Mier a Multiplicity of evidence, had been gone
through, Mr. CoNANT obServed, that he could not
conceive
.the wall a party wall, because it parted a
dweliing7house from Stabling and sheds and with
respect to the front. wall, the Building Act only
recognised four feet over Lord Yarmouth's area,
the other part of Lord Montfort's house being a
new line. The 'Magistrates were of opinion the
front L‘rall did extend 14 incites ovor the line of
the other houses, :nut they were' convicted on this
count, as far as the four feet above ,stated, and
wall eidled a party wall'was not so, and
contrary to the Building Act. Tl.te, encroachments-
were ordered to he abated and amended according
to the Act of Pnliintent.

Three troops of . the 10th light dragoons (the

and went oil I rom the Jetty in 'the same high spi-

circumstances appeared upon the trial, which
placed him in a very ridiculous light ; and per-
