The Nleeting was numerously attended, the
lamest room of the tavern being thronged. The
Speakers supported their cause with much ;7ietv
and eloquence; and at the close of the Meeing,
which continued till half past nine o'clock, scarce-
ly any of the assembly had exhibited weariness,
or left the room. The warmest feeling prevailed
in support of the object, and nearly 2001. were
received in subscriptions and donations. We can-
not,but contemplate the establishment of such an
Institutinn with pleasure, under the guidance of
men of known liberality and prudence, and whose
wish h seems is not to obtrude upins grouna pre-
viously occupied by zealous. Clergy and. Teachers
of any pions denomination. Every Institution is
valuable at this period that is at .all calculated to
spread the principles of Christianity, and to
counteract the spirit of Infidelity and Revolt that
prevails mom', many oc the lower orders.

FROM ruE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle.]
Extract of a Letter front St. Helena, dated the 29th
of 111(.1y :
" General Sir George and Lady Binglvarn em-
•bark for England to-nicirrow on 'board of the Re-
, `Tent. Report sayc', that he' wilt soon retorn-as.
Governor. One of the transports with the 20. h
• regiment -bat; not yet. arrived. -Count Balmaine
• has returned here from the Brazils. We know
nothing of. what passes. in Europe, as all the
. newspapers which _amiye,to:e obliged to be for-
svarded to Sir Hudson Lowe, who destroys them
atter perusal. Even his own papers are not ex-
tempted froO this, and whenever he rondesCends
to lend one to the Officers of his Staff, it is sent
and returned under a seated envelope, in order to

prevent th-e•contents being made known to any
except t;le favoured confidant.
" I believe that I omitted giving you an ac-
count of the sham fight which caused so great an.
alarm in this island. Sir Thomas Retitle, the
Adjutant-General, being desirous of gratifying
Lady Lowe with the representation of a naval
night action, gave directions to that effect to
Cap!ain Wanchope, of the Eurydice. Accord-
ingly, at ten o'clock at night, the Eurydice,
after a brilliant discharge of rockets, blue
Ste., commenced a vigorous cannonade, which
was answered by a brig, and kept up with
great spirit on both :mks, to the great admira-
tion of such Ladies as were in the secret, and
to the consternathin of the inhabitants, amongst
whets, of Ad&ral Plampin, who not having been

consulted on the occasion, and imagining that the
• Yankees were endeavouring to lane! in order to
carry off Buonaparte, sent his Secretary aud'the
Signal Middtipman galloping down the steep side
pith from the briars, at the risk of their neck!,
to ascert sin what was the matter. Nothing
could exceed the confusion amongst the natives,
the greater part of whom flocked to the alarm-posts,
where they remained until day-light, while the fa-
voured few who were duly initiated quietly re-
paired to their ace.ostptned place of repose, laugh-,
• ing within themselves et the fears oft heir credulous
neighbours. The following day an order was
is.itte-d by Admiral Plampin to the squadron under
coattnaud, prohibiting it repetition of night

eannanetling, witiroldhis consult ii iviug be pre--
viously obtained. Nothin;: :miller is known about
Buonaparte, than that be is on the i4lattd."
