. Yi.'sterdity a -crowded meeting took place at
Cie Crown and Anchor Tavern, of the Society which WM in-
stituted last year, for .the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.—
Sir JAVEi Mat:it IN-rosit- was prevented by illness from tak-:
ing the Chair, which was occupied by J. A. WARRE, Esq.,
111. P:., in his. stead. •
The CilAili;lAl4 opened the business of the day by explain.
ing the o)ject the Meeting had in view ; which is, " the mitiga-
tion of :animal sufFering, anti the promotion and extension of
the prat of humanity, towarda the inferior claises ot animat-
ed beiti4S ;"" a prictical'tluty, equally deducible from reason,
from di! natural feelings of man, and from the benevolent spirit

The pi-inei`pal mealls'proposed to be employed by the Society

ent appeals to public feeling, through the medium of
every practicable mode which may tend to awaken
geltlteral. attention to this important and interesting

The Hon. CHAIR mAx then proposed the reading of the Re-
port drawn up by the Committee for the last year, which was
agreed to.
The Secretary read the Report, which stated that similar In-
stitutions, or Societies of this humane description, were already
formed in Bath and Newcastle-on-Tyne. The activity of the
per •oris employed to watch and repress cruelty towards animals
wa,: such, that. in the last year there had been 145 prosecutions
insituted against offenders, and such had been the good effect
of these prosecutions, that riot only had the offence already •be-
co ne less. frequent,. and the offenders punished, but in some
in-,tones the offenders bad-so completely been convinced of the
cruel nature" of their conduct, and the propriety of the forma-
tion of suclea Society, that they had actually become members
of the Society, and contributed their pecuniary aid to its
oblects. ..
On the motion of the CITAIRMAN the Report was ordered to
be 'printed.

ALEX. iSlacxttisoN, Esq. rose to propose a Resolution of
thanks to the Hon. Member for Galway (it. Martin, Esq.), to
whom the Society might' be said to owe its existence. His
humanity, iirmneas, :and intrepidity, in putting down atroci-
ties by personal laterfetainde,.. was scarcely less honourable- to
him than the efforts he had made, in despite of unworthy
pi'ejudices and sneer:sin -the House of Commons, to carry his
Bill of the year 11.123 into.' a law. What had since then oc-
curred had proved the effit'Acy and power of the law in correct-
ing a crime which it -wttaargne.d was out of the reach of la
(Cheering.) :
Th: motion was carried by'a;•clamation.
The lion. Member, rose, and .in a speech of much feeling and
occasional humour, returned the Meeting his grateful acknow-
ledgments for the honour conferred on him. lie had pledged
him ielf hot only to the Houie.but to the public, to promote from.
timeto thne, despite of all personal inconveniences, or unwor-
thy prejudices, in any the quarter, those restrictions of
the right which all persons had to use the brute creation for
their service, comfort, and advantage, to a humane and proper
treatment of those animals which Providence had given them
dominion over to use and not abuse theni._(Laud cheeringo—
lle regretted that he had been able to do but little during the
two last Sessions. The Parliament was more indisposed to put
down cruelty than any other assembly in the world, excepting a
bear-garden. There were some .persons in Parliament who
boasted that they never supported any of Mr. Martin's Bills.—
The.lion. Member for Aberdeen was ever in his place to oppose
hi n (Mr. Martin.) There was another, a Mr. Fysshe Palmer,
w.io made a.conatant habit of opposing every humane measure,
so rertutrkable in his conversation for the encouragement of
cruelty, that a celebrated phrenologist had determined to get a
picture of his face taken, in order to ascertain whether he had
not the organ of cruelty.--(Laughter.)—The Attorney-General
also, who had promised to support his (Mr. Martin's) Bill, was
aa inconsistent with himself, that he afterwards opposed it--
That the Right lion. Gentleman should differ from his own
declared opinion might he a matter of surprise, but the wonder
was, that. be should differ front the Secretary of State, and
a still greater wonder that he should differ from Homea__,

/OLEN QUIS DICERE FiILSUM AUDE.IT 2

LONDON,
TI:URSD.II" EVENING, JUNE 30, 1825.

‘Ve have extracted from the French Papery of
Monday, the Speech of the Emperor of ftusstA
on the closing of the Dirt of Poland i it will be
found in our fourth page. The Ex!,Enna ap.
pears much pleased with the conduct of his Diet,
which he affirms has fulfilled the expectations of
theirtountry, and (which seems to be of much the
greater moment) justified his confidence. But
how is it the Diet has been so very fortunate as
to justify the confidence of the EMPEROR? By
adoptingall
projects of law which he had
laid before; and in return for which he
on his part had readily adopted all the
amendments which the Diet had proposed
t„ The EMPEROR then informs them that
such conduct is the only means of confirming the
Constitutions which they enjoyed. We think
his MAJESTY might as well have omitted this
clause, which savors too much of a threat, and
looksiuset'Att little like reposing in them that con-
fidence which he had previously said their con-
duct justified.

By the Italian and .German Mails, arrived
this day, we have accounts from Turin, Milan,
and Berlin.
They do not, however,
contain any
news, from Greece. The Gazette of Milan con-
tinues to give details of the jour
long ll
journey of the
KmeEttoa, and the Princes of his family, through
his Italian dominions, and of the visits of their

MAJESTIES to the- public institutions at Milan.
I—Letters1—Letters from Berlin, dated 18th June, say,
that his MAJESTY has been pleased to issue a
Cabinet Order, giving the country another proof
of his regard, by remitting, on the marriage of
his daughter, the Princess Lowst, the cus-
tomary coutributiort. But this renewed mark
of favour is not intended to affect the right
of requiring this contribution on future
occasions. Such a right once existed in our
own country, under the term of Aide To it
fairefille mailer, but was most righteously abo-
lished in the reign of CHARLES the SECOND, iffl•
mediately after the Restoration, with a mul-
titude of other annoyances necessaiily result-
ing from the docriues of feAdal tenures,
and the relation of Vassal and Lord. The
abstaining from the exercise of so arbitrary
a right is wise and conciliatory, notwithstandiug
it is accompanied with a clause that it shall not
be drawn into precedent, and, notwithstanding
such marks of royal favour, appear to us to be
no favour at all. Extracts from these Papers
will be found iu another place.

A discussion, that might for *lint of a more ;
descriptive term be called smart., and therefore
a smartish discussion on the Combination Laws
took "place last night in the House of Commons.
Mr. Hume was " beautifully" bothered by his
opponents, and we are only surprised he is left
alive for fresh encounters and more vigorous at-
tacks. Supported by Sir FRANcis BURDETT, the
Houourable Gentleman bore up manfully against
his foes, and although charged with divers mis-•,
understandings and misrepreSentations,proceeded -
'with his opposition undaunted, and at last found
himself in a minority of 2 against 56. Mr.
11CME is the friend of the Workmen, and what •
possible objection he can have to the Bilt
we du not understand. A Bill more incl.-- •
licient, or more weak in its enactments, cannot
be conceived, for in spite of its provisions the
workmen may go on with their Associations, and
be just as troublesome, just as united, and just
as annoying to their masters as ever. It dis-:
solves no associations, declares none of thetas 7
illegal, and expressly recognises the legality of
the more open and avowed purposes of all. It only
prohibits the workmen having recourse to violence
ormelestation, not to retain those who have already
joined them, but to obtain more, leaving the So-
cieties in possession of all the- present members.;
and of the power of enforcing the contracts .of
any who may be disposed to withdraw. With the
exception, therefore, of the summary jurisdietiot
given to Magistrates, the Act , is very little
more than simply declaratory of the ComtOtt
Law. With regard to the summary jurls.
diction, we may observe that it would,.by
rendering it necessary to commit on convic-
,
tion and not for trial, not only make the 1
presiding Justices more cautious how they de- '
cided, but also shorten the term of imprisontnet4
for those who could not procure bail, and
should be ultimately convicted. What more.tbe
operatives can desire we know not. The masters;
we think, have the best right to complain, end:,
who will find themselves precisely in the Same.'
