SOCIETY . OF FRIENDS OF
FOREIGNERS IN DISTRESS.
The anniversary dinner of this society took piece on Thurs-
day evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-gtreet,!when
nearly 200 of the members and supporters of the charity-
were present. Among the noblemen' and gentlemen at the
cross tables were his Royal Highness the .Duke of Cam-
bridge
(in the chair), his Excellency Count Kialmansegge,
the Hanoverian Minister, Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian
Minister, besides several other distinguished guests.
To commence with the entertainment, we maylsay that
it was one that gave satisfaction to all, and of which the
Royal Chairman spoke in terms of much approbation. Of
course Messrs. Bathe and Breach were the caterers
The Duke of Cambridge's own military band ;as in at-
tendance, and during dinner time played with great effect
the various popular and favourite airs of the day. Mr.
Hobbs added to thb harmonies of the evening by many beau-
tiful glees and songs, with the assistance of Messrs. Haw-
kins, Francis, Trockey, and
Chapman.
On the removal of the cloth, race hariis Royal Highness .proposed the g
health of the eon "
Queen and Prince Albert," taking, the opportunity to announce that her Majesty `lied this night subscribed the sum of 1001., which
he (his Royal 'Highness) had had the pleasure of juit paying
to the treasurer. .
This intimation was received with loud bursts of applause,
and the toast was drunk with enthusiasm.
The health of the "Queen Dowager" followed ; after
which came that of his Majesty the "King of Hanover,"
and the "Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family."
Then followed a toast to the "Foreign Sovereigns, protec-
tors of this Society.'
The "Army and Navy" next received all the honour due
to the bravery and devotion of the two services.
Chevalier BUNSEN then rose, and in proposing the health
of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, made some
appropriate remarks upon the institution for the benefit of
which they had apt together. He. said that this year com-
pleted the fortletfflftuersary of the establishment of this
most useful charity ; and in the course of these forty years
there had been only three exceptions where the chair had
not been taken by a duke of the Royal House of Brunswick
at the anniversary dinners.—(Cheers.) But there was one
amongst those illustrious personages who had occupied it far
oftner than the other sons of that great and benevolent
monarch, George the Third—he meant his Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge.--(Loud and continued cheering.)
He that night honoured the meeting of the society for the
ninth time with his presence and support, and he (Chevalier
Bunsen) was sure that there could be no persons present who
were not impressed with a feeling of gratitude to his Royal
Highness for his kindness and constant attention to the trans-
actions of this society, and the sympathy he had shown for
its increasing success. He felt confident that he was only
expressing the feeling of gratitude which was in all their
hearts, when he drank, with the greatest reverence and re-
spect, the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge.—(Tremendous applause.)
The Duke of CAMBRIDGN rose and returned his most sin-
cere thanks for the honour conferred upon him, and for the
great kindness]and flattering way in which the toast had
been accepted. It was very true tnat this was the ninth time
that he had taken the chair at the annual dinner of this be-
nevolent Society, and he could only say, that so long as it
pleased the Almighty to give him health and strength, he
should be most happy to occupy that position on future occa-
sions.—(Cheers.) It was very natural that he should wish
for the prosperity of this charity, for he had lived so long
abroad that he felt a deep desire to assist foreigners in dis-
tress.—(Hear' hear.) His happy reminescencrs of Germany,
where he had lived for so long a time, and met with so much
kindness, prompted him to relieve, not only Germans, but all
foreigners requiring assistance.—(Cheers.) With regard to
the state of the Society, his Royal Highness observed that
he need only refer the company to the report, which gave so
clear and concise a statement of what had been done during
the past year that it rendered all further comment unneces-
sary. At the same time he could not help congratulating
the subscribers that they were not going back, but in-
creasing. Yet they must not, for all that, stop short
in their exertions, but, on the contrary, they must
strive more and more to increase the value of this
institution.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The only point to
be regretted (and no blame to the charity) was, that it was
found impossible to assist the number of deserving indivi-
duals who applied far relief, for out of 38 applicants eight
only had been elected, for the want of means. How neces-
sary, then, was it that they should not slacken in their efforts
to increase the amount of subscriptions ?—( Hear, hear, and
cheers.) He was happy to state that this year his Majesty
the King of Sweden had sent them the very handsome sum
of 120/, and also that a legacy had been left to the society
by the late Mr. J. Cole, amounting to 100/.—(Cheers.)
Another satisfactory point was that the committee had, in
consequence of the larger subscriptions of last year, aug-
mented the establishment by 15 pensioners, and they were
also enabled to assist more the out-door objects of relief; for
those who formerly received only IL, had that sum now in-
creased to 4/., and so en in proportion to their wants.—
(Hear, hear.) In conclusion his Royal Highness could only
add that he should always feel proud to be of service to the
institution, and happy to hear of the augmentation of its
funds, and he hoped that the directors might so be enabled
to do more thin they had hitherto done. He returned his
best thanks for the honour that had been done him, and in
return drank all their good healths.—(Loud cheers.)
After an appropriate glee, with which his Royal Highness
seemed very much delighted,
The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of the Duke of
Wellington, President of the Institution ;" a toast which his
Royal Highness said he need only enunciate to secure for it
the enthusiastic applause of the whole company.
This toast was drunk with the same spirit in which the
Duke of Cambridge recommended it, and the cheering was
succeeded by the band playing " See the conquering hero
comes," which elicited renewed applause.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of the Foreign
Ambassadors and Ministers;" for which
His Excellency Count IintrziANSEGGIE returned thanks,
and in doing so, he said that, if he were to express his feel-
ings
on this occasion in an eloquent speech, he should really
be before them as he felt, and they would see a foreigner in
great distress.—(Loud cheers.) The longer he lived in this
country, the more he appreciated the merits and value of
this benevolent institution ; and, in conclusion, he could
only say that he, from the bottom of his heart, wished for
" The long existence and prosperity of the Society of Friends
of Foreigners in Distress."—(Long and continued applause.)
His Royal Hihness then proposed " The health of the
Vice-Presidents," which was duly honoured by the company,
and acknowledged by Chevalier Bunsen.
The report of the subscriptions received during the evening
was here read, by which it appeared that the sum of 1,4541.
was paid into the hands of the treasurer, having been col-
lected by the various stewards, who were indefatigable in
their exertions to promote the welfare of the Society.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge then left the
room, amidst the cheers of the company, the band striking
up " God save the Queen."
On the Duke leaving the chair, Chevalier Bunsen took his
place, and the proceedings were kept up with the utmost
enthusiasm until late in the evening, when the company re-
tired highly satisfied with the result of their reunion, and
inspired with fresh desires for the promotion of the success
1 of this benevolent institution.
The following is an extract from the Society's report :-
1 "This Society. was instituted at the suggestion of a small
circle of foreign clergymen, resident in Landon, in the year
1806. The object is, to grant relief to indigent foreigners here,
without distinction of country or religion, especially to those
who are not entitled to parochial aid ; and to furnish the
means to such as are desirous to return to their own countries.
By the bounty of the public hitherto experienced, the Society
has been enabled to relieve above 10,000 foreigners of different
nations; and to grant annual pensions towards the support
of eighty-five individuals, greatly advanced in years, and al-
most all of whom have spent their lives in improving the
commerce and manufactures of this country, without having
acquired any legal claim to parish relief, and are now totaily
disabled by age and infirmity from earning a livelihood or re-
turning to the places of their nativity. It is not only from
wealthy foreigners and their descendants, that the Society
hopes for encouragement ; to them. no doubt, a forcible ap-
peal might be made ; but surely Britons, who, of late years
particularly have still more than ever merited a comparison
with the good Samaritan, will, with their accustomed benefi-
cence, cherish and support an institution which cannot fail
to impart fresh lustre to their national character in every
quarter of the globe. One guinea annually constitutes a
governor, and ten guineas and upwards a governor for life."

THE SLAVE TRADE.-By accounts from New York,
we learn that Boveral American slave-vessels have been cap-
tured by the United States cruizers on the coast of Africa.
The following extract from the official letter of Commander
Bell gives a frightful picture of the sufferings of the unfortu-
nate victims of this diabolical traffic found on board the
American barque Pons, of Philadelphia. She had 903 slaves
on board :—" As I could not dispatch her the evening of her
capture, she kept company with us that night. The next
morning I regretted to learn that 18 had died, and one
jumped overboard. So many dying in so short a time was
accounted for by the captain, in the necessity he had of
thrusting below all who were on deck,and closing the hatches
when he first fell in with us, in order to escape detection.
The vessel had no slave-deck, and upwards of 850 were
piled, almost in bulk, on the water-casks below. These
were males. About 40 or 50 women were confined in
one-half of the round-house cabin on deck ; the other
half of the cabin remained for the use of the officers. As the
ship appeared to be less than 350 tons, it seemed impossible
that one-half could have lived to cross the Atlantic. About
200 filled the spar-deck alone, when they were permitted to
come up from below, and yet the captain assured me that it
was his intention to have taken 400 more on board, if he
could have spared the time. The stench from below was
so great, that it was impossible to stand more than a few
moments near tho hatchways. Our men, who went below
from curiosity, were forced up sick in a few minutes ; then
all the hatches were off. What must have
.been the suffer-
ings of these poor wretches when the hatches were closed ! I
am informed that very often in these cases the stronger will
strangle the weaker; that this was probably the reason why
so many (lied, or rather were found dead the morning after
the capture. None but an eye-witness can form a conception
of the horrors these poor creatures must endure in their
transit across the ocean."
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—On Good Ft iday, as the train
which leaves Liverpool at 30 minutes after 10 A.m. was pro-
ceeding at the rate of 35 to 40 miles per hour, when near the
Newton Junction, a little boy named Billington, aged four
years and nine months, fell out upon the line. This little
fellow was in company with his parents, and had been play-
ing outside the door with the handle, when the latch got
turned, and out he fell, and rolled sixteen yards on the line.
On their arriving at Parkside, Mr. Fraser, the guard, and Mr
Billington proceeded back to the spot, and found the child
alive, not even a bone being broken. The poor creature was
picked up immediately on falling, taken into a dwelling-
house, and medical aid immediately procured. lie is much
bruised about the head, but is doing as well as can be ex.-
pected.-21Ianchester Guardian.

HE INFANTE 1)0N ENRIQUE.
A. correspondent at Paris, on the authority of a traveller
just arrived from Bayonne, communicates to us some inte-
resting particu'ars respecting the arrival of the Infante Don
Enrique in that city. We have reason to believe in the ex-
actness of the facts, which we submit to our readers.
The following is the communication ofour correspondent :
" I think that you will be pleased to receive trustworthy
intelligence respecting the unexpected arrival of the Spanish
Prince Don Enrique in the city ofbavonne. These particulars
I derive from a person of credit, and I can assure you that
the young Infante is by no means unworthy of the hand of
his august cousin the Queen of Spain. This was the first
idea which struck my mind on conversing with Don Enrique,
since, judging from his antecedents, the fact of his being
a candidate for ihe royal hand is the principal cause which
has necessitated his absence from Spain, where his presence
gave umbrage to the reactionist party, who could not be-
hold with any degree of satisfaction a Prince of the blood,
much looked ap to by his party, who has declared openly in
favour of legality and of constitutional principles, at the same
time that he declared, in his celebrated though perhaps some-
what inopportune mansfesto, his desire for the reconciliation
of all Spaniards who were willing to recognise the Queen
and the landamental laws of the state.
" The passport which he bears from the Captain-General
of Galicia, expresses that he goes with royal permission to
take the waters of the Pyrenees ; but, notwithstanding thin
official formality, there can be no doubt that the true object
of his involuntary journey is to keep him at a distance from
Spain, in order to enable the Camarilla to ripen the matri-
menial projects in vogue, but which will be realised with
difficulty, since the Spanish nation is utterly averse either
the marriage with Trapani or that with Montemolin.
"According to information and reasoning which I believe
to be most exact and conclusive, lam convinced that either
of these marriages will entail immense calamities on the
Peninsula ; and anarchy and the purest theocratical despo-
tism will be the final result of either of these most unpopular
unions. To hold any other opinion would be most illusory,
and both England and France are interested in preventing
the success of both.
" I certainly was far from being a partisan of the preten-
sions of the Infante Don Enrique, but the information I re-
ceive from most respectable persons, who have seen and
conversed with him, and have possessed ample opportunities
of judging with impartiality, induce me to think that this
marriage, at once natural and national, 'will be the easiest
and most simple solution of the great question in Spain ;
that it will give general satisfaction to the people, and will
conciliate the respective objects of England and France, both
of whom must desire to see the throne of the Queen and a
reasonable and just liberty for the Spanish nation peacefully
