PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The Amuiversary
Sermon of this excellent Institution was yesterday
preached at St. George's Church, IlanoVer-square,
by the Very Reverend the Dean of CHESTER.--
The Chinch was crowded excessively--;-maity hun-
dreds could not gain admittance. The entire of
the street was filled with Noblemen's and Gentle-
men's carriages• 'rite collection at the doors was
very considerable.
It is now, we believe, understood that Watson,.
Preston, Hope!, and Keene, the persons charged
With high treason, and nary prisoners in the
TOWer of London, will, without farther delay, be
brotight to trial. In about a week front this time
bills- of indictment will, it is said, be preferred
against them ; and, as the law in this case requires,
a copy of spell indictment will be furnished to
each prisoner, with the names of witnesses in-
tended to be brotight forward on behalf of the
prosecution. The prisoners are then entitled to
ten clear days after the delivery of the indictment,'
before they can be brought ; and, as soon
atter this period as possible, they will be tried
at
bar, before the Court of Eing's--Hench, at West-
minster. We should suppose the trial will take
place a-boat the iriithile of May. - Whether these
'persons ttre hint Acta or guilty; we sincerely re-
rice at their being pnt'upon their defence. How-
ever the 'prisoners may in this or other cases feel
for themselves, yet, as a general maxim, the most
speedy justice is the most butuatte.
