SOCIETY 0t SCHOOLMASTERS.-,--Ti2e Anniver-
sary Dinner of this truly excellent Institution was
held yesterday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern,
The Meeting was numerous, his Royal Highness
the Duke of KErrr presiding, and being supported
by the LORD MAYOtt, the two Sheriffs, and several
Gentlemen of rank and learning. His Royal High-
ness, in a speech of considerable length, expatiated
upon the essential benefits of the Establishment.
A great number of benefactors and aunts sub-
scribers were added, the names of whom were read
by the Tteasiner, Dr. KELLY, with appropriate
comments,

A laudable Society has been established at Bel,
fast,•itfireland, for clothing the poor with cast
off clothes of every description, belonging to per-
. sons of both sexes, in the middling and superior
tanks of life,
.which are sent to the society: These
are mended or turned into various garments at the
House of Industry, and the labour is paid for by
'the subscription of the charitable and wealthy.
Thus two good put.poses are answered, the naked
arc cloathed industtious employed.
Yesterday morning above 180 prisoners Were
removed from tilt: Debtors' side of Newgate, to
the,Nrew Prison in Whitecross -street, which has
been built and fitted up solely for the
accotnirro-
dation of persons confined for debt, so that in fu-
ture the Debtors' side of Newgate will be appro-
priated for felon prisoners and fines. The debtors
will find considerably better accommodation iu
this NeW Prisim than what they had in Newgate,
although the latter is allowed to be a very heal-
thy prison, as one Hays, who was removed yes-
terday, has been an inhabitant iri it about 30
years.

Notes to a considerable amount, stolen froth
the Newbury Ohl Wink, were exchanged on Tues-
day week at BirMniglatut,,by a man who, acc,n.d-
ing to the decrillfiOn given of him, is the samethat exchanged the Notes at Abingdon.
As Capt. Tuoriti):st)N,.of the, Cistus, Newcastle
trader, and two of his brother Captains, were
proceeding on board their vessels in a sculler,
about nine o'clock on Thursday evening, one of
the Captains suddenly started up to prevent a
barge running foul of them, when, by reason of
his leaning too much on one side, and the tine
running very strong, the sculler 'upset, and the
whole were plunged into the River. The conser
quence wl;s, that Captain T. and another were
drowned ; but the other Captain and the sculler.
man by a miracle were saved. The Captain and
scullerman were driven by the tide near to a boat,
when a person who was in it, seeing a hand above
water, instantly caught hold of it, and drew the
person into his boat, who proved to be the Cap-
tain of the Dorothy, and to his great surprise the
scullerman had clung fast to his leg. The body
of Captain THOMPSOZi has been found, and takeit
on shore, but we do not learn that the other CAI)...
tale has yet been found,

" We pass over the farcical ceiviriouy of taking'

71:` 'file Natives, iinwever,-iis WC enn inlorm this
great Ncgoeiator; -indignantly tlisoiro the con-
nexion withis :ittgatit ' Captain forcer
the real facts, and we shall therefore
"Inte thew for bitnfrom the most unquestionable
authority. _

When %Sir Thomas St'aines of the Briton frigate,
and Captain Pipon of the Tagus, who had been
sent into the Pacific in tptcst of our hero, arrived"
off the Asland of Ntikaheevali, they perceived a
vast crowd assembled. on the shore and armed,
apparently with a view of preventing any landing.
These officers understood, through Wilson, that.
the Islanders had conceived the two frigates to
belong to the great American family,' and that
their late guest %vas returning to revenge the
death of, four persons belonging to this new con-
nexion, •
and left behind in a prize; whom, after
Captain Porter's departure, they had, under the
su►iirt of their recent sulferitq.s,, stoned to death
on the beach : but the moment Wilson -informed.
thein that the ships were English and manded with
his own c,itiptrymett, they uttanimousty laid aside
their Irnis, sho4:k hands in the most cordial Man-
ner with the officers and boats' crews, and were
zleliglited beyond measure at the meeting. As
another proof of the lasting regard and affection
for the family,' the_ flag and its staff had been
torn down, awl every vestige of Fort Nladison de-
stroyed : our people unburied the bottle,' and used
very little ceremony with the ridiculous Decla-
ration" it contained, to which David- Porter; Es-
quire, had affixed his se:ll'fand' signature. : His
natne,,,however.- we cattPt.lce npon us to assure-
itiM," will long be remembered at •Nukaheevalt ;
where, it appears, he mit4bititself:' so .act ept a-
We to the n,ttive,-;,' that.ife nevor mice dared to
step beyond the fortified. enclos,rc in. which his
people had pitch ell their"..entsLwithout at' armed
guard. • •
We shall take no notice of hits garbled account
of the capture-of the Essex, nor Of the bane and
malignant asp..rsionS: cast on thecouduct of Cap-
tain whom, after directly charging him
with cJwJrdice; treachery,' and falsehood, he ad-

pats to have shewn- the-greateStilenAerness to
the woundiid; and to haie 'enucavOureo , to Ake
utmost of _his power, to alleviate' the dis.tressesa
war by the most 'getiCTous and' ileliCate deport:.
mcnt ;o yards - himself, his Officers, and.crew.'---
p. 159. .-For this galling acknowledgMent, which
was wrung from him by the notoriety of the fact,
he immedhttely consoles hitoSeif by covertly in-
sinuating that Captain J-lillyar connived "at the
stealing of to illy articles of his clothing r' a cir-
cumstance, continues Which I should not
Lave considered of stifficient importance to noti..c,.
kid it not mark a Strikiti-g' 'difkrence 'het ween the
Navy of Great 13titain and that of the Vnited
States highlycreditable to the Litter.'
We shall riot degrade the Navv of Great Bri-
tain" by it word—With respect to daptain it illvar,
lte is a good officer 'and a gentleman ; and it is
really refreshing, after the vulgar transatlantic
pride and spleen through which we have'waded,
to meet ,with thc.following specimen of genuine
Lnglish matmers.--p. 160.
