INS"! ITEITION.

, .
The Fourth Anniversary Dinner for the sup:-
port of this excellent lns,itutio.n, took place on
'Thursday last., at the Alhion House, Aldersgate-
street. ,"che latul,,hle put pose of this Institution
is the relief of DECAYED A RTISTS, -their widows
and children. It is hardly necessary,,to observe
that the distress of an Artist, when he no longer
capable of exercis.hrg his profession, and feels the
pressure of the times,"as ‘v.6.11 as of domestic con-
nexions, must be mote severe 1 haii that of the
ordinary classes of Society. An Artist ntust
p ssess H superior and :a cultivated mind. ,Hence
his feelings must he refinedfrand want Joust fall on
‘‘;ith increased poignancy. ft js, therefore,
worthy of the British character to contribute
liberally to the eup*al of those who themselves
cwitribute to the improvement of the natiotral
We were, therefore., highly gratified in
seeing a numerous Meeting on so meritorious an
occasion. The Dukes of' KENT arid Sussex are
joint Patrons, and are always sit enuous • in sup-
port of every benevolent object. The latter look
!lie Chair at this Meeting, and displayed his usual
affability and good humour. , The'Royal Chairman
addressed the Company in the most affecting and
persuasive manner, expatiating On the 'condition
al art Artist with a family, and touching with
great feeling upon the whole of the subject. We
have' not room to do justice to this eloquent and
interesting Address.. On the retirement of the
Dulte", ‘vho was obliged to attend the House of
Lords,theChair was taken by Mr. JOSEPH HUMS,
who discharged the office Very ably. Several of
the musical profession -and amateurs amused the
,COn'tpany, but the 'chief gratification arose from
feelings of benevoleute, on observing the success
of the subscription. , Mr. loser"' Hume brough

The amount of the -Collection was about 4001. and the
amount of Subscriptions-for' the last six itt;inths euoi. in all
6001. since and exclusive of the last-Dinner.

The Dinner, in point of 'plenty, elegarrce, and
attention, was excellent, and the wines were en-
titled to the same praise. But it is merely justice.
to the Albion House to say, that this is its " cus-
tom ever of tin afternoon." The whole was a
scene of that high gratification, which can only
be enjoyed by refined and benevolent dispositions,

SHOCKING ACCIDENT FROM •ripe LATE HURRICANE

• CORONER'S INQUEST. -An inquisition was
taken yesterday at the Three CoMp4sses,
,South
Portman-mews, before Mr. STIRLING, Coroner,
on the body of Mary Mattingly,, servant to Lady
Hayes, who met her death by the falliu4 in of the
kitchen-roof during the hurricane last Wednesday.
The body presented a most dreadful spectacle,
and a profusion of blond had flown from the
hack part of the head. The case was so apparent
that one witness .only was examined ;, and the
facts were correctly stated in our Leper of yester-
day. Verdict—Accidental Death.

MAD. DE.STAECS LIFE OF HER FATHER.-The
translation of the Memoirs of the celebrated M.
NECKER, written by his more celebrated dattgli-
ter, has just appeared. Jt is unnecessary to say
the Work is singularly attractive.

It is justly observed by Mad. De Stael, that the knowledge
of the human mind is eminently facilitated by examining the
sentiments and actions•of tlyise who have taken a part in ex-
traordinary events, and whom the gifts of nature, orthe vicis-
situdes of fortune,, have marked out for combat with fate and
with malthind : but this vague • curiosity acquires new iin-
pottance, and is even associated with the higher interests of
morality, when the object to which it refers is a man endowed
with every quality that can stimulate to the gratification of an
immeasurable ambition ; yet whose ambition Was invariably
held sulundinate to the dictates' of the most scrupulous
conscience—a man' whose genius was bounded but. by the
circle of his duties and affections, and whose faculties over-
stept every barrier but that of virtues—a man, who after a
transcient glimpse of the most splendid prosperity, was plung-
ed into misfortunes which obscured the lustre of his glory,and
who, when presented to posterity, will be appreciated only
by those beings whose souls possess some sfarks of a conge-
nial nature.

time to he fixed for the second reading would destroy many
groundless prejudices againSt the Bill. It would seem from
the petition of a University which had been late;y,preiented
again,t, the Bill, that that body had totally overlooked the

intention to urge that part of the Bill respecting Modnses
He was sorry this declarittion had not readied that learned

PRIVATELY STEALING IN SHOPS' BILL. ,
Sir S. ROMILLY moved the second reading of the Privately
'Stealing. in Shops' Bill.

Sir F.. F 1.061) sa.d, he did not• rise to oppose the Bill.
which, on the contrary, met with his hearty. approbation ; he
only wished to extend-'the BM to another country. It was
highly desirable that t he. laws of•buth countries should be as-
similated as touch as possible. 'ln Ireland, not one person in
a thousand, as 'llk 14w now stood, prosecuted for this crime,
were convicted.

, .
'Sir S. RIMIIiLY agreed in thinking that it,might be de-
sirable to extend this Bill to Ireland. , The reason why he
did not do so Was,. that he was afraid it would give morn..
force to the opposition the. Bill was likely,to endouliter in an-
other place, if be presumed to include Ireland. If some Gun-
! :man from that country shOuld think proper to bring Lit
such a Bill, he hardly thought it would inert with the same
opposition.

fir
F. FL/OD then gave notice,. that he should wore for
leave to bring in a similar Bill tor Ireland.
The Bill was then read a second time.
Sir S. ROMILLY mowed, that it be committed this day
sc'noight.

Bill might be made applicable to Ireland.

was ordered to be committed on Monday sennight.

ing for a repeal of the Duties on Culm and Coal carried coast-
wise.

A petition was presented from the Salt Proprietors and
other Inhabitants of Cheshire, against any alteration in the
Salt Duties.

Sir T. ACLAND presented aPetition from riymouth Dock,
against the Duties on Color and Coal carried coastwise. '
Sir JAS.GRAHANI hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer
would consider this subject seriously. This Duty operated
in a most oppressive thornier.
After a few words from Mr. LYTTELTCYN, the Petition.
was laid WI the table, and ordered to be printed.

BUILDING CHURCHES.
The CHANCELLOR of-the EXCHEQUER moved, that
on 'Monday se'noight the House resolve itself into -a Com-
mittee on that part of the Speech front- the-Throne which re-
lated to the places of religious worship.
Mr. TIERNEY begged to rewind the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer of -a subject he had formerlr'spolieu of, viz. the ex-
pediency of consolidating the two grants for Monuments for
Trafalgar and Waterloo into one, for the purpose of build-
ing a Church, as the fittest monument.
The CHANCELLOtt of the EXCHEQUER: said, no part
of those grants had yet been expended, so that the question
was open to coosidetatin.

The motion was agreed to.
Mr. IVAIIRE have notice of a motion for leave to bring. in
a Bill to' repeal so much of the Election Laws a 3 relates to
the Assessment to the Land Tax. • .
