Yesterday the first Monthly inv'eting of this truly
patriotic Association was held at the London Tavern,
Mr. 13LACKBLUIti, (men! the V:Z:e-Presidents of thet
Club, in the char. There was 3 very numerous
and respeatable attendance of members. It is need-
less'tci observe that the utmost harmony .revailed in
a society established for the e?tpres's purpose of per-
petuating those principles by which alone the har-
mony of the Constitution can be preserved, and the
independence and greatness of the United Kingdom
be maintained.

enthusiasm which springs filorn the heart, and which
is saniAioned by the judgment.
Before dinner, the Club proceeded to the eleaion
of new Members, when several Candidates were
ballotted' for and admitted ; and we are most happy
to learn that the Club has attained that degree o?
stability and extension, which tends to confirm the
pairt,,tic hopes of• Mr. PERCEVAL,. that it will form
a rallying point for the-Friends of the Constitution
in- the hour of national danger.

CITY BUSlNESS.—Yesterday the Lord Mayor
held a _Court of Common Council, at which the
Committee for General Purposes presented.a.Report
for builJing a new Staie Coach, agreeably to a draw-
ing approved by them, for the sum of 5000 gui-
neas. When a long debate took place as to the'
'practieabtlity of repairing the .presetit coach.—On
the part of the advocates for. a new coach, it was
urged that the old one was in such a rickety state
it could not, with safety, turn at certain -corners
"of the. streets ; that it was become necessary for a
man to walk along each side to keep the doors shut ;'
and that it would be less expensive to buy a new
coach, than be expending large sums annually in
repairing the old one ; and, lastly, that a new coach
could be had for about 50001. whereas the old one,
which was made in 176c2, cost a sum of 75001. It
was finally referred to the Committee to obtain es-
timates accordingly, and lay the same before the
CoUrt for further consideration.

The sum of 30001. was unanimously voted to
the Treasurer of • Bridewell and Bethlehem ,Hospi-
tali, as the gift of the .Court towards the building
a new. Hospital, for Lunatics, in St. George's-fields.
Messrs. • Langton, Dixon, Kirby, and . White,
were elected Coal-meters, and Mr. ,Bickerstaif a
Corn-meter, in trust, for the City, for four years.
-A Petition was
.presented from the Contractors
for the Lock, &c. at Teddington, for a clause to be
inserted in the Bill now before Parliament, for fur-
ther improving• tie navigation, for allowing them a
remuneration in •consequence of 'the very he.avy
losses sustained by them, by reason of their, con-
tratt. No other business•ot importance occurred.

ANCIENT MUSIC.—The season of this old and
ex-:ellent Concert commenced on Wednesday last.
The seleilion, we ate assured, was male by the
PRINCR REGENT-, who attended with his Royal -Bro!
theal.. A large concourse of Nobility were present,
as well as the Archbishops of CANTErtruav and
YORK. lhe selection afforded' ample proof of the
knowledge and taste 0.1 the PRINCE. it iS'nez•dless
tomdd, that with such a band, consisting of All the
chief Perforin.•rs of both the Musical Fonds, add
who cannot as a body be equalled in Europe, all the
compositions, received ample justice. :Among the
voc.il Perfortners; it was gratifyiog to see_BARTLE-

voice is in excellent order. Th'e cqmpositions, in
general, were principally Liken from the orks of
HANDEL ; •b,,t Dr. CROFT'S celebrated Anthem,
‘, Sing unto God," was a distinguished feature of
the enirrtainment. The Clmrusses, in particular,
went off remarkably well, and we had new occa-
sion to adinire the correctness, taste, and assiduity
of Mr. GREATOIIEX. The performance, Or) the

CLIEENWICH tiosrITAL V. WIVEIt.

- This'was an inquiry before the Lord Chi4Justic
.to asses-damages for the breacii•nf a 'covenant coil-
lained in in indenture of apprenlices.hip, by which
William Findlay, one of the poor boys on the esia-
tlishmenl of the Hospital School was bound to the
defendant,: who is the Commander of a merchant
vessel..

.When these boys have been maintained for se-
veral years, and educated at the expellee of the Hos-
pital, they are inva'iably bbund out to.- the sea ser-
vice, in order tO their becoming able seamen, and
.the indenture comai64 a covenant, the performance
of which is secured by a bond, in the penalty of
-501. that .the boy shall be kept, during the whole
term of his apprenticeship, to the sea service. In
the present instance, the boy remained in the ser-
vice in which he was ,bound by the Hospital for six.•
weeks only, but 'was then taken away froM it, and
bound apprentice to an engraver.
These facts -being -proved; the CHIEF JUSTICE
very strongly reprobated tltis.abuse of a most, excel.
lent institution, and left it to the Jury to give such
damages as they thought-tight; when they imme-
diately returned a verdict fa 501., the full penalty of
the bond.
