A Public Meeting was yesterday held at the
City of London Tavern, for the purpose of raising a subscrip-
tion for the relief of the Sanish and Italian Refugees who are
pow suffering such dreadful privations about the metropolis.
Besides the Gentlemen whose names will appear beloW, the

was attended by several other respectable individuals.
Owing to the shortness of the notice, it was not so numerous
as it otherwise would have been.

The LORD MAYOR being voted to take the Chair, opened
the business of the meeting, by stating that he had been in-
duced to convene it in consequence of various applications made
to him upon the subject by several bankers and merchants of
respectability, who had been moved by the great distress which
the Spanish and Italian refugees were enduring in this metro-
polis. It was unnecessary for him to dilate on the miserable
condition of those unfortunate men. Upon an occasion of this

was to support those who were now here; but at the same time

raised last winter for this purpose were exhausted. Such, how-
ever, was the feeling on this sulject, that he bad already re.

cheertillly contribute towards the alleviation of their suffer-

3lr. IYNG, M.P. felt the greatest pleasure in giving all tile
encouragement in his power, by moving the first resolution. It
gratified his feelings as a man, to help his fellow-men. This
was not a political question. They had come here to save the
lives of their fellow-creatures.—(fear !)—On a former occa-
sion he had felt the same commiseration for the French emi-
grants, although they had not made the same exertions to de-
fend ieir own cause.
The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously.

ing had been held lust spring for the same purpose as the Fe-
sent ; and its partial failure was attributed to the circumstance
that it was composed of individuals favourable to the constitu-
tional cause in Spain, and its object, therefore, mixed up with
party feeling. Ile was confident it was only necessary to state
that a great body of individuals were amongst us wanting the
necessaries of life, to effect the benevolent purpose they had in
view. Many of these individuals had been accustomed to live
in opulence at home, and some of them in grandeur. Ile con-
cluded by moving the second resolution.—(Applause.)

Mr. Alderman VENARES seconded it with pleasure. Even
if the feelings of the public were expressed upon the cause in
which these unfortunate individuals had embarked, he was con-
! vinced they would not be unfavourable to them. But it wag
enough that we all had the broad ground of Christian charity
to meet upon. One thing, however, might he said of them—
they had all been engaged fighting for the existing and esta-
blished constitution of their country.—(llear

Donna. Anna de Cervaton was a most cele.
brated woman in lier day; though she was
greatly noted for her extreme beauty, her ta-
lents and love of literature caused her to he still
more esteemed. In• the works of 14. M. Siculo,
the Latin letters which he wrote to him are pre.
nerved, and they would do honour to any author
for their style and correctness.
Donna Isabella de Joya, who lived in the 16th
century, was a very learned woman. lt is re.

many difficult points of doctrine, entirely to their
satisfaction. But what contributed the most to
her fame was, that when in that capital she con-
verted a gredt number of Jews to the Catholic
religion.
Louisa Sigel', a native of Toledo, was deeply
intimate with philosphy and belles lettres; she
was likewise very clever in the knowledge of
languages, being well acquainted with Latin,
Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Syriac. She wrote
a letter in these five different languages to Pope
Paul 111.

Donna Olivia Sabuco de Nantes, a native of
Alcarez, possessed an enlightened iniod. She
had a knowledge of physical science, medicine,
morals, and politics, as her writings abundantly
testify. But what contributed the most to ren-
der her illustrious, was her new physiological
system, which was contrary to the notions of the
ancients. She established the opinion, that it is
not the blood that nourishes the body. This sys-
tem which Spain did not at first appreciate, was
warmly embraced iu England, and we now re-
ceive from the hands of strangers as their inven-
lion what was strictly speaking our own.—

dwelling for a human soul ; in this opinion Des-

only, that she conceived the whole substance of
the brain to be the abode of the soul, and he con-

Donna Olivia, in her own opinion, was so great,
and her determination in vindicating them io
powerful, that in her dedicatory letter to the
Count de Berajas, President of Castile, she en-
treated him to exercise all his authority among
the learned naturalists and medical men in Spain,
to convince them that their heresies were Innen-

try. He took up his residence at Lyons, car.
rying with him his daughter, and so great was
her progress in literary pursuits, that, at the age
of ten years, she dedicated a work, defending
public discussions in philosophy, to Margaret of
Austria, Queen of Spain. According to the uu-
thority of G. Patin, who lived at that period,
she had a long dispute with the College of Je-
suits at Lyons, when she was only seventeen
years old. She was intimately acquainted with
philesophy, theology, music, and jurisprudence.
She is said to have known 14 languages.—She
belonged to the Dominican Convent of Avignon.
