ITlo4netex, the black, living intimated-by post-
in,; and hand-bills liis intention of giving a Fistic
Exhibition, in Provan's Hall, .14mm-street, on
Saturday evening (when the scientific phrases,
nobbing, fibbing, &c. were to be illustrated), the
Magistrates ordered him to be apprehended, and
detained in custody till the hour of meeting was
over,—(Glasgow Paper.)
A few nights since,, according to report, a
g'entieman in riding towards Plymouth from
,Knaeker's Hole, heard sonic horrible groans in-
'side a hedge.' At first he supposed that it, was
,some trick.to rob him, by inducing hint to stop :
but after a little hesitation, fear gave wav to
hnmanity, and alighting he proceeded to the spot,
where he discovered a woman in the pains of labour,
yltoentreated him to go back t 6 Knacker's Hole lull
fete : ner,husband, with medical assistance. He lost
no time in complying with her wishes , & was return-
ing with her husband and'a'surgeon, accidentally
in the village,_ when the me a marine, wearing
a large 'g'reat coat, left by the Gentler-nail with
the woman to protect her, from cold.. On in-
terrogating hint, where be got the great'eoat, he
asserted that it was hiS own : but the falsehood
was palpable, and. taking him into custody they
hastened to the poor female, who was senseless,
but had giVen birth to a Child, which lay by her
side. The marine, after beating her most inhu-
manly, had robbed her of the great coat.
FIRE.-Yesterday, about two o'clock in the
afternoon, a fire broke out in the house of Mr.
Turner, in Old-street, St. Luke's. which at first
caused cons'iderahle alarm, but it was got under
after destroying the interior part of the house and
the furniture.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—The following sin--
gnlar circumstance occurred lately in the village of
Ugston, near Lander, Scotland. A pair of pi-
geons, having taken up their abode in a dwelling-
house in that village, built a nest there, in which
the hen laid two eggs. During the time of her
incubation, an intimacy commenced between her
and the family cat, which soon became so close,
that they were' very seldom seen apart ; and,
however incredible it may appear, yet it is a
well authenticated fact, that, as often as the
pigeon left the nest," the cat was' seen to take
her place. Thus matters proceeded till. the
chickens were hatched, when pus's predilection
for themErspring became as apparent as it had
been for the parent, and continued till 'the period
of their having become full-fledged, when a pain-
ful separation ensued—painful as it respected puss.
But, regardless of her feelings, they took up their
ordinary residence in the roof. Hither the in-
consolable cat's eves were often directed. Un-
able, however,. to, brook a separation longer, she
clambered up to their abodes,' and with evident
satisfaction, seated herself contiguous to them.
For their company she still continued to discover
the same partiality, nor has she ever attempted to
offer them any violence, notwithstanding the
known voracity of this animal, and their hostility
to the feathered tribe.

C;::[.1-,;"p()INTIAN

The Projectors and Proprietors of this Institu-
tion char:if together on Saturday, at the Freema-
sons'favern.
His Royal Rightness the Duke of Vora was the
Chairman. The Dukes of KENT a d
were present, the Foreign Ministers, the Loan
MAYOR of London, and many of the "Nobility.
The assemblY'‘fias .one of the mos: splendhlwe
have ever a•itnessed.
The cloth removed, and the Usual toasts of form
disposed of ;
r Sir ARCHIBALD Maeromaen addressed the
Meeting. He briefly touched on tie ohj.ects of
the Charity, awl congratulated the Assembly on
their havingh Chairman, who had already giVen
a pledge of the zeal with which _he would labour
to promote•tbeinterests of the Charity, projected
for the tel and support of the children' of :hose
who, lost their lives fighting the hattles'of their
country, in. the excellent establishment at Chel-
sea,.. of 'which he (the, Duke of York) was the
founder. lie then proposed the health of his
Royal Highness.
The toast having been drank with three times
three,
The Duke of YOtaa returned thanks for,the ho-
nolr he had received, and declared the advance--
meat of the interests -of the Institutio:r, by every
means in his power, would ever be the objet-' near
his heart.
" The Caledonian Asylum, and may the, off-
spring of the brave never want- a protector,'' was
the next toast.
The Duke of KENT., in introducing it, gave a
short history of the rise and progress -of the pro-
ject now about to be carried into .effect. The
plan had been suggested in March I SOS, and was
never lost sight of, though the circumstances' of
the tunes prevented its being, brought to maturity
at an earlier period. He dwelt on the importance
of its object, and depicted the advantages likely ,
to result from it in glowing terms, and expressed
his determination to promote the success of it by
ev/ry possible means.
An animated and appropriate Address, written
for the occasion, was recited by Mr. Port:, with
'great effect. That Gentleman,' it was stated (by
the Duke of Kent), far front receiving any remn-
neration.for his exet dons, was himself a liberal
.subscriber to the cbarity—(Loud applause).
The Earl of BREADALBANE proposed the health ,
of the Duke of Clarence, which was drank with
applause.
Mr. CHARLES GRANT made an animated appeal
to the feelings of the Meeting, on the propriety
of straining every nerve to farther its interesting
'object. It was not only recommended to' them
by benevolence, but by policy. The soldier
would advance to battle with more courage avid
devotedness, for being:assured that if he should
fall, his children would be provided for. It bad
been well said by a General to animate hiS troops,
%vim just before going into action, had expressed
some uneasiness for their families, " fear nothing',
my lads, for from this day your children are the
children Of your country." He could not survey
the present assembly but with the warmest emo-
tions of satisfaction and joy. What would.hava
been the feelings, if the ancestors of those noble
personages who surrounded Abe Royal Chairman,
and who had been so often opposed in hardy and
bloods' contention to Lekaeland, had they beheld the
spectacle that now preseateditselfof perfect union
between the two countries, and seen them after a
twenty years war, in which they had- bravely
fought for each other; uniting to take- advantage
of the first days of peace, to carry those benevo-
lent purposes into affect, which animated all Who
heard him that day. He proceeded to recount the
great advantages derived.to the Institution from
the active exertions of the. Duke of Kent, and
closed an eloquent panegyric on his Royal High-
ness's Conduct, by proposing his healib.
The toast hatina- been drunk, the- Duke of
Kent returned thanks.
• Mr. J. P. GRANT, after an appropriate eulogy,
proposed the health of the Duke of SasseX.
,The Duke of SUSSEX, in returning -,thanks des-
canted at- some length on the merits and import-
ance of the Institution. He panegyrised the
Scottish character, and expressed -high admiration
tor the laud, that -had not only .produced brave
warriors, but intrepid and devoted Flora Mac-
donalds.
On " The Foteign: -Ministers," being 'drunk
the whole of the Ambassadors present rose, and
bowed to the Assembly the Duke of Kent re-
turfed thAnka for theta.
" The City of London and thereof,"
having been drank with loud acclamations ;
The LORD MAYOR returned 'thanka on behalf of
the City, and took-occasion to observe, that those
over whom‘ he bad the-.Honour to preside would
be most anxious for the prosperity of-this Insti-
tution'; for he was proud to say, though in the
'course of a long war, the pressure' on them had
frequently been 'great; their hearts had ever been.
open to thrice bleSsetf Charity. (Applause.)
'The Duke of KENT stated. the subsariptika
arising'from -that' dinner amounted to.s343L:,Se-
vend additional subscriptions Were afterwards.an-
nOunced. Among others, it was mentioned that
100/. had been subscribed by Mr. Forbes:es in ad-
dition to a former subscription to the sane
amount, and in addition to-1000/..put at the dis-
posal of the Committee, .on account.of the sums
expected to be raised in -support of the Institu-
tion at Bombay. (Loud applause.) .
Many appropriate and patriotic toasts, besides
those we' have enutnetated, were drunk in the
course of the evening. Music and singing, under
Ithb able .superinteodance and direction, of Mr.
Heather', the composer, contributed in a more -than
common degree to the interest of the festival.
The firSt and last verses of a favourite song, writ-
ten by the Ettriek Shepherd, were admirably sung
by Master Millar.
The Duke of YORK and the Foreign Ministers
did not retire till half-past eleven.
The Gallery was crowded with. Ladies of the
first rank and distinction throughout the day.

tish Parliaeient seemed to think they should be
. veatniog to them:class*, if they did not talte that
opportunity for amplifying their chatacter arid jo-
riadietion. Theydisdaine'd the narrow boundaries
of itesalar and promoted themselves ro
`the rank of a sort of Plenipotentiary—Gensors
over Emperors and Kings ! With as much com-
placency AS if they hail been formally invested
with the office, and as much confidence, as if they
. bad seen the latest Official Note, these Super-
visors of Europe virtually called the Allied Sove-
re;ens. to their bar, to hear orations from theist
neon the duties of Princes. They bad no other
inqtrination than they qained front French News-
. papers, and, if they hail any other argument, it
was, trot our fortune to hear it. The loudest of
then seemed to us to speak a Moniteur !
The sort of interference, which we might claim,
at Vienna, was easily definable, as well as that
which we might not. No one•will pretend, that
• we, oh any natural right to forbid a convention of
Princes, who chose to meet and to arrange, not
ooteterritories, but, their own—to discuss their
own interests, amid to balance their own powers.
Yet 'to reprobate the purpose of their meeting was
as far its we. were able, to enjoin them not to meet.
It was etpedly plain, that we derived no right
. front conquest to issue such a prohibition foe we,
Conquered, not over them, but with them. If
. then we had held it to be our duty, in hohallitf
the names and of the doubtful political existeneies,
of Certairi dktricts, to have proscr]:
those
vereigns, the posse•.•sors of them, from making ally
new distribution of their allotments, weshoidil
have first applied ourselves to the: aequiring this
right, or power, and to do so, w.e should have sent
otit an army of somewhere about Aftepz hundred
thousiind men ! With such, a force m;ealit,
perhaps, have collie upon the Monarchs, when
they were in the'very fact of arranging their own
affairs, have knocked their heads together, its pa-
/ rents do their children's, \viten tio!ycatch ahem

out- one of our Parliamentary Orators to read

which have been in some sort vassals, aletust ever
sittce the's were known Having,
)j5.0.1;z inadrert,
enc^, omitted to do this, the Coogiess are sitting,
in defiance of our Osators, and we must now cons
'tent 14til'ielves with another sort of interference.
Instead of telling the Sovereigns, that they have
no right to discuss any territorial arrangements
• (which position the said Orators are bound to
maintain, or their principle is gone), we must say,
that, as partners in their conquests and contribu-
tors to their expences, we suppose ours lees to
have won amongst them the authority of friends;
that we desire to be ineeseut at their discussions,
because soint'of our interests may be involved iu
them; and that we eVecially wish to`prornote the
great purpose of, for ruing a 'barrier aga.lltst the
din4otrous rapacity of the French. Something
like this we have said, or are well understood to
have meant e but, while our Negociator is-sitting
in the Congress, in virtue of this understanding,
the harangues of our Orators reach Vienna, and
the Allied Sovereigns read, that the British Mi-
nistry ought to have dictate] to theta a renuncia-
tion of the object of their. neeting ! Such is the
porport of speeches, which are distinguishable
from the doctrines of the French Writers, oitty in
being far more profuse, than the taste of the hit-
' ter allows, in trite, utpplied truisms,' and far
coarser and more virulent iii their invectives
againSt our allies, As to any qttestions of British
interests in the proposed arrangemeots, these ha-
ranguers never descend to them ; the British Ne-
gociator does not receive a ..VOl'd of their support ;
they touch only upon general points, and, as far
as in theta --is, they wind(' make him appear
amongst our Allies, as the representative of per-
sons, Ilto heartily abhor them all. This is the
letter of introduction, with. which they would fain
furnish him, to the Congress at Vienna! Thus
- he is tti acquire authority and popularity there !
if this b.c not sufileiehtly detrimental to Eng-
-land, there is.a practice, Which may help it—that
cf questioning. To remind our Readers, that the
idly cofpS of Questioners, far front confin'ing
themselves to matters either directly, oHndirectly,
within..the privileges of the House of Commons,
chiefly estereise their faculties upon those, W4ich
are not subject ao the power of that Houses or of
ti;isNingdom ; which cannot be successfully con-
(lactel, except with secrecy, and of which the
eveot is yet uncertain—to state this is the same
thing as to slicer, that their practice, does disqua-
JiC Englaud for discussions with other States,
defeats us in the contests of diplomacy, and leaves
. scarcely any thing to succeed by, but main force,
or profuse expense. Were the heart of. England
" so • ;Dore, that it nzig,ht be shrilled in- crystal and
hare uIL its mouements scanned," we must find other
nations with hearts as pure, before we lay 'ours
thus open for their inspection. If the practice

The great pretence for all phis, at present, is,
that the Allied Sovereigns are disposing of their
people, at Vienna, '' like cattle." Having, in a
former article, shewn, xvith due seriousness, how
little occasion these people themselves have, or
think themselves to hare, for caring about such
arrangements, we should not notice the subject
now, except for the sake dthe following .homely
illustration, well entitled to be seen in company
with Ate arguments, to which it relates. his, per-
haps, known, that- a practice prevails of transfer-
ring public-ho Mes, with all the drinkers thereat

of taking care, that no beer but their own, shall
be vended there, just-as a German Prince negoci-
ates for the sovereignty of a district, in order that
no politics hut his, shall be circulated in it.—
Now when any brewer has a mind to quit bit-
sines!,, ail that care fur the health and good hu-
mourof his thousands of drinkers (perhaps Mare
