PITT CLUBS.

llALlFAx.—Up'wards of fifty Members of this Club, Trios.
HORTON, Esq. President, in the Cha'r, assembled at the Old
Cock Inn, to avow and to record their veneration for the memory
of that illustrious Statesman, the Right Honourable WILLIAM
PITT. It is impossible to express the devotion of all present,
to the memory of the Great Patriot, which was shewn in every
way that can best denote gratitude and sincere esteem. This
Club is increasing in numbers, and the attendance, which was
most respectable, would have been still larger, had it not been
for the unavoidable absence from home of many Members.

NOTTINGHAM—The birth-day of the late Right Ho-
nourable WILLIAM PITT was celebrated at Nottinghz
by the Members of the Pitt Club, at Thurland Hall. An ex-
cellent dinner was provided by Mr. Hart, of the Black's Head,
and the selection of wines was of the most superior flallour.
—A variety of toasts were given, and several excellent songs
were sung, the evening was passed with the greatest coviviality,
and the meeting broke up at a late hour. H. WILLOUGHBY,
Esq. M.P., Chairman, in a short speech, adverted to the Ca-
tholic Peers' Bill, and moved, that a petition he drawn up, not
as that of the Pitt Club, but of the town and vicinity. The pe-
tition was signed by all the Gentlemen present, .and the next
day it received a great number of signatures.

The anniversary was celebrated at Sheffield,- Huddersfield,
Scarborough, Manchester, Lancaster, Blackburn, Bolton, Bir-
mingham, Leicester, and numerous other places in the kingdom,
with that harmony and conviviality which the occasion could
not fail to inspire. And it is highly gratifying to the adher-
ents of Pitt to witness and indulge so ardent andgeneral an im-
pulse and to manifest, by joining in a tribute to his memory,an
unshaken attachment to those principles which have been so
firmly established by that truly great man, as to uphold the
Sovereign and the country amidst the unparalleled shocks of
the stormy and perilous periods we have witnessed.

The anniversary of the birth of the immortal pia was cele2
brated by the Rochdale Pitt Club. An excellent, Alinner was
provided for the occasion by Mr. Marriott, of the Roebuck inn.

The anniversary of the birth-day of the late Right Hon.
William Pitt, was celebrated at the Mansion-house, in Don-
caster, EDSiuND DENISON, Esq. in the Chair. The even-
ing was passed with the accustomed hilarity.

This day being the anniversary of the birth of
GEORGE HERIOT, is observing with the usual marks of re-
spect to the memory of so excellent a citizen. The boys of the
Hospital founded by Mr. Heriot (amounting in number to
180), and those of Watson's Hospital, and the girls of the
Merchants' and Trades' Hospitals, walked in procession, newly
clothed, to the New Greyfriars' Church, .vhcre the Lord Pro-
vost, Magistrates, and other Governors attended. The sermon
was preached by the Rev. Dr. Robert Anderson, one of the
Ministers of the Old Greyfriars' Church. The statue of the
founder of the Hospital is very tastefully decorated with
flowers.—( Edinburgh Courant, June 3.)
MRS. SHERIDAN.—Lady LtCAN was heard to
say a very neat thing to Mrs. SHERIDAN : " You
must be a very happy woman, Madam, who have
the felicity of pleasing the man that pleases all
the world."

Yesterday a boat, with four women and a child,
was upset below London bridge, in consequence
of having been run foul of by a lime barge. The
women were saved, but the child was drowned.

=THU'S- FROM THE DULY MORNING PAPERS,

June G,

[NEW TIM.ES.]
An animated discussion arose last night in the
House of Commons on a motion of Mr. Peel for
leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Alien
Act. The motion was ultimately carried by a
majority of 189 to 92.

Consols for the Account opened at 801 yester-
day. Scarcely any business was transacted during
the whole of the day. At one time, however, a few
bargains were done at 4, but towards the close
of the market If was the current price. At 4
o'clock the Exchange closed, and there were
buyers at the opening figure:---The new Russian
Certificat4sare still very fiat at 811, and scarcely
inquired after. The same may be said of the
Chili Bonds : they continue at 764 immovable.
'We had not a single arrival from any part of the
Continent yesterday,—(Thid.)

[THE TIMES.]
By letters of a very recent date, which yes-
terday reached us from Leghorn, we learn that
houses have been engaged in Florence for the Em-
perors of Russia and Austria, who are expected
to arrive itr that capital to attend a Congress,
about the middle of July. The subjects ap-
pointed for deliberation and decision in the con-
ferences of that assembly, are said to be the
relative state of Greece and Turkey, and the
settlement .of the affairs of Italy. •The stage is
larger than that of the late Congresses of Troppau
and Laybach (where the two Emperors could
enjoy as profound a seclusion as two monks of
Datrappe) : but whether the royal actors are to be
increased, we cannot as yet ascertain. At any
rate, as the spectators of the extetnal show will be
more numerous, the world will hear more of it than
of the secret conclaves on the German territory.
It is extremely probable that both England and
France, which formerly rather watched than
joined the two former meetings, will send Mi-
nisters to this, as, its range of deliberation will
be more extensive, and its decisions more final.
It is likewise probable that those " substitutes
for Kings," the Austrian Satraps of Naples and
Sardinia, with the other tributary Princes south
of the Alps,. will be permitted to come and pay
their homage to the authors of their fate.

[MORNING POST.]
A private letter from Madrid, of the 23d ult.,
speaks of fresh advantages gained over the insur-
gents in Catalonia, and states that in the Sitting
of the 22d, the Cortes rejected, by a majority of
82 to 4S, the. Martial Law proposed by the Spe-
cial Commission, to repress insurrection. The
ground on which it was opposed was not its ex-
cessive severity, but the facility with which, in
the hands of a Ministry hosti!e to the Patriots,
it might be turned against the latter. The
discussion on this important subject was very
animated, but the Patriots triumphed ; " the
two-edged sword," as it was termed, was re-
fused to the Government; but the Extraordinary
Commission was instructed to propose
,other
measures, and it was announcedthat in k few
days a project of law would be submitted to
the Cortes, " as energetic and severe as the
former, but the application of which could only
reach the Serviles and the foes to liberty." The
Cortes have also passed a resolution, declaring
" that they have seen with sovereign displeasure,
the neglected state in which the Government has
left the Navy." An article of the 26th ult.
from Pampeluna re-asserts that the King has
ordered an army of 30,000 men to march imme-
diately towards the provinces bordering on the
Pyrenees, and that it is to he divided into three
corps, to be commanded by Generals Ballesteros,
Espoz y Mina,. and the Mat'4uis of La zan.

rBRITISH PRESS.]
Sir John Newport last night in the House of
Commons reminded Ministers of the expectation
which they held out of a full inquiry into the
grievances of Ireland, and the Marquis of Lon-
donderry, in answer, stated that the expectation
had been realised, the state of Ireland having been
fully considered in the present Session. There
are men " who do good by'stealth and blush to
find it,fame.7! There.are Ministers, we presume,
of the same description. For how, or where, or
when, the wretched state-of Ireland was duly dis-
cussed and considered in the present Session, the
public are left wholly iu the dark. It is very
true Ministers propose to remit the window and
fire-hearth taxes in that country, but then this
relief is•accompanied by an arrangement of the
salt duty injurious to the provision trade, that
neutralizes the intended -boon. The people of
the South of Ireland, of Cork, Waterford, and
Limerick, the scene of the present distress, would
probably prefer the present taxes, odious and
onerous as they are, to the new arrangement.
With this exception then, to which so little
praise is due,• we ask when or how has the
case of Ireland occupied tine attention of Parlia-
ment in the present Session ? Something has
been thrown out very indistinctly about the ame-
lioration of. the system of tithes, but nothing
specific has been yet proposed, from which much,
improvement can be eicpected on that head.—
The
,Insurrection Act has been also renewed ;
but will Ministers claim credit for that as a re-
medy for the preseut distress ? for any relief. of
which. the Country is indebted to the charity of
individuals.

[MORNING- HERALD.]

A correspondent informs us that " after the
division on Mr. D4fenport's amendment on the
third reading of the Navigation Bill on Tuesday
night, and whilst strangers were excluded from
the gallery, Mr. Davenport moved that the
words ' Thrown Silk.' should he struck out,
which was agreed to without a division ; so that
the article of thrown silk is excluded from the
operation of the Bill."—N. B. We would wish
that the whole of the manufacturing interest of
the United Kingdom would exert themselves as
actively in this business as the •silk •throwsters
Piave done ; they might thee render Mr. Wallace's

Bill, comparatively a nullity. The supineness'
of the manufacturing interests, generally, in
suffering this Bill to pass in its present shape, is
truly surprising.. But there is an old adage, that
" what is every body's business is no body's bu-
siness." What is the ".Manchester Chamber of
Commerce" about ? Why do they not enter the
lists with the " Board of Trade ?" When the
Bill is, passed, and when the cotton, the silk, the
woollen, and other manufacturers, will find that
the South and North Americans, the West Indian
and other merchants will take, in the Port of
Liverpool and other ports, silk, woollen, cotton,
and other goods, in preference to British goods,
which they have hitherto purchased in return for
their cargoes of hides, cotton, colonial, and other
foreign produce, then they will open their eyes
to the effect of Mr. Wallace's Bill. But Cham-
bers of Commerce, like all concerns managed by
means of Committees, are slow movers. While
they ought to be acting, they are too frequently
deliberating. We believe that there is also " a
Chamber of Commerce" in Glasgow, in Birming-
ham, in Liverpool, &c. But they all Seem to be
fast asleep, and to abandon themselves too
confidently to Mr. Wallace, who, it is evident,
knows nothing whatever of the manufacturing
interests of England ; and to the Board of
Trade, helped by the theoretical Mr. Ricardo,
who, we believe, some time since reduced his
calculations to such a nicety on the subject of
payments in cash in comparison with payments
in paper, as to assert that it made just 42 per
cent. difference in the price of agricultural pro-
duce, &c.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

We received the Paris Papers of Monday at a
late hour last night, by express.—No farther in-
telligence is communicated respecting Russia and
Turkey.—The Quotidienne in its Madrid corre-
spondence states, that the Tercerola, the Yurriago,
the Tribuno, and several other pamphlets preach
vehemently the King's forfeiture of the Throne.
As it is generally understood that this Mo-
narch has failed in his duty to the Spanish
nation since swearing to the new order of things,
the sooner he is deprived of all power the better
perhaps it would be for the country. By sending
him out of it, and givitig the Throne to a
stranger, they would at least have the advantage
of having an Executive attached to the new
order of things, for its own sake. The
Cortes might then either declare Ferdinand
to have forfeited the Throne, as the Scots
Parliament did, or like the English Parlia-
ment (with its love of fiction, which it caught
from the English law), declare that he had abdi-
cated the Throne, though his unwillingness to
quit it might be as notorious to the whole world
as was that of our James. The Ultras are quite
elated that the Abbe Frayssinous, the Court
Preacher, who recommended that the mass of the
people silould not be allowed to learn to read and
write, is placed at the head of the education
of France. The Quotidienne expresses very
naively its hope that he will gradually suc-
ceed in allaying the spirit of innovation which in-
fluences the age. Such are the fruits of Legitimacy.
And yet the credulity resulting from that igno-
rance of which the Ultras are so enamoured, is
sometimes productive of no little inconvenience
to themselves. Thus, for instance, an Ultra
Correspondent in the Allgemeine Zeitung (for
that Journal has both Ultra and Liberal Cor-
respondents), complains bitterly " that. there is
nothing so absurd that it will not be readily be-
lieved by the French common people ; that with re-
spect to tile late conflagrations in the Departments
round Paris, the Peasants have been told
that the Noblesse are setting fire to their
cottages from revenge, as they formerly set
fire to their castles, that they might emigrate and
take arms against the people ; that the Noblesse
imagine they can by these means regain possession
of the National Estates, and all this is confidently
believed." Thus we see that those who take
pains to brutalize and degrade the people, are
always the very first to complain of the effects
when they are themselves affected by them.
