ASSOCIATED CATHOLIC CHARITIES.

The Anniversary Festival of this extensive
and highly useful Society was held on Monday at the Free.
masons Tavern. In consequence of the absence of the Hon.
Mr. Clifford, through a domestic calamity, the Hon. Edward
Petre was called to the Chair. He was supported by the Right
Rev. Dr. Poynter, Sir George Jerninghatn, Bart. &c. &c. The
gallery was filled by Ladies, the Patronesses and Friends of the
Chanties.
The cloth having been removed, Non Nobis Donaine, per-
formed by the professional singers present, and the usual loyal
and national toasts drank,
The Hon. CHAInMArt rose to propose the health of an indivi-
dual, whose name, through his virtues and deserts, required no
preface. lie had often had the satisfaction of meeting the Right
Rev. Gent, who sat on his righ hand at meetings held for the
purpose of forwarding the ends of charity, and he had ever found
him ready to exert his talents, use his influence, anti stretch
forth his hand in the cause of benevolence, and to rescue the
fatherless and the indigent from suffering. and disgrace.—(Ap-
plause.)—He lamented that misfortune had deprived them of a
Chairman who was so much more capable of doing justice to the
great merits and claims of his Right Rev. Friend than he was ;
but he had the gratification of knowing that the health of Dr.
Poynter required no preface; and though eloquence might give
amomentary impulse to their warmth, he felt convinced that no
words could add to the respect, the veneration in which they
held his virtues and his talents.--(Great applause.) The Hon.
Chairman then proposed the health of " The Patron of the
Charities, the Right Rev. Dr. Poynter." The toast was drank
with three times three, and loud applause.
Dr. POYNTER returned thanks for the honour which the
Chairman and the company had conferred on him, by the very
flattering manner in which they had drank his health. He could
assure them that nothing could be more gratifying to his feel-
ings, independent of the approbation he ,net with at their hands,
than labouring to forward- the ends of charity and benevolence.
The charities for whose welfare they were then assembled de-
served their support. They merited encouragement on every
principle ; for they diffused religion, they increased knowledge,
they promoted industry, and they rescued many hundreds of
children from the ways of vice and infamy, and rendered them
useful and valuable members of the community.—(Applause.).
On the health of the Chairman being drank with three times
three, he expressed his grateful acknowledgments for the
honour they had done him ; and as the procession they were
about to witness would occupy some time, lie would take the
liberty of proposing to them, though out of the usual order, the
health of their President, who might be truly called the father
of these Charities.
The health of Lord Clifford was then drank with loud ap-
plause.
A most interesting and well conducted exhibition followed.
The children belonging to the different schools preceded by their
directors entered the room ; the eldest girls and boys bearing
banners, on which were inscribed the musics and purposes of the
different establishments to which they belonged. The orphans
supported by the Institution led; the girls anti boys educated and
clothed in the five different schools followed ; afid the lads ap-
prenticed from the Charities concluded the procession. The
whole amounted to between six and seven hundred children,
They were dressed in green, and extremely neat, clean, and
healthy in their appearance. One of the children returned thanks
for the many blessings their protectors had bestowed on them,
and earnestly hoped that Almighty from whom all good was
derived would repay them fourfold for their beneficence.
The CHAIRMAN addressed the company at some length on
the objects for which the Charities were fiinded, and the benefits
they bestowed on the public at large. lle entreated them to
support them to the utmost extent of their abilities, and con-
cluded by giving " Prosperity to the Associated Catholic Cha-
rities."—The toast was received with unanimous approbation,
and drank with great applause. The children then retired,
and by their frequent bendings expressed their gratitude to their
protectors.

In the course of the evening several other toasts were received
with approbation ; and the health of the ladies who had honour-
ed them by their presence was drank with acclamations. The
intervals between the toasts were also enlivened by some glees
and songs from the professional singers present, which were ap-
plauded ; and the lion. Chairman, who is the treasurer of the
Charities, previously to quitting the room, announced that the
subscriptions received amounted to 3561. The company broke
up at about half-past ten.

The remains of the mummy of a ram (supposed
to be 2,000 years old), which was purchased at the sale of the
late Dr. Ritchie, of Edinburgh, and has since been uncased of
its numerous acre cloths, were last week deposited in the rooms
of the Literary and Philosophical Society, Newcastle-upon-
Tyne. The bones of the head, and some of the ribs, are tole-
rabl perfect, but there is no flesh remaining.
IDE.—At one o'clock on Sunday afternoon, a
the broke out in an untenanted house in Holloway-place, Hol-
loway. The stairs, flooring, and a considerable part of the in-
terior were destroyed before the flames were subdued. It is
supposed the fire communicated from the flue of a neighbouring
chimney.
ACCIDENT TO A STEAM BOAT.—Yesterday as
one of the Gravesend steam boats was coming to London, the
boiler burst, and the situation of the passengers became of
course most alarming. Happily, however, the Wellington steam boat soon came up, and took the whole of the passengers
on board, none of whom sustained the slightest injury.
Cull.) MURDER.—An Inquisition was taken
on Monday evening, at the Horns Tavern, near Shoreditch
Church, before Jnirg 'Munn T I/Nww, Esq. Coroner, on
view of the body of a new-born male infant, ibund murdered.
Verdict---" ♦Wilful murder against some person or persons as
yet unknown."
