ROYAL HUMAAE SOCIETY.

The fifty-first anniversary of this excellent Society
was- celebrated yesterday; at the City of London
Tavern, Bishopsgate-street., when upwards of two hun•
dyed and fifty Gentlemen sat down to an excellent
dinner. In the absence of his Grace the Duke of
Northumberland, the President of the Society, who sent 'I
a donation of £lOO, the Chair was ably filled by J.
;Gurney, Esq. Bing's Counsel, who was supported by
Mr. Justice tiazelee, and several persons of distinction.
The Meeting was also graced with an assemblage of
beauty and elegance in the gallery. After the usual
toasts had been given with the usual honours, including
the health of the President, a procession of nearly forty
persons, male and female, who had been rescued from
,death, took place. It was a melancholy but highly
gratifying spectacle. The Chairman then rose, and
said, *. Were an individual to visit the numerous
chat itable Institutions, in Loudon, they would each pre-
sent %some strong claim to support. Were they severally
asked the nature of those claims, one would say, we
have allayed the but ning rage of fever, another) we
have given an asylum to the destitute, a third, we have
reformed the criminal; a fourth would say, we have
made the blind to see, a fifth, we have taught the
deaf to hears a)NA a sixth, we have caused the dumb to
speak. But if we are asked what we have done, we shall
say we have sestored to life those who were
.numbered
with the dead. Axeneral, when be gains a victory, asks
where are his prisoners, and the artillery he has'taken ?
and if we are asked what proof we give of our achieve-
ments, we point to the spectacle' you have just wit-
nessed, and 'say these are our trophies. After such evi-
dence, nerd I call upon you to drink s Success to the'
Royal Humane Society."
After the speech and the toast had been received
with great enthusiasm, the Chairman presentei hono-
rary medals to Lieut. TURNBULL, R. N. the Reverend
HENRY WOOLLEY, Mr. HENRY HUOHEII, of Maidstone,'
a youth of seventeen, who rescued a companion in 15
feet water, and Mr. BALER, for Capt. COOK, of the
Cambria. The Chairman addressed them in suitable
and complimentary terms, and they severally returned
thanks.
• Mr. HAWES, one of the Treasurers, read a list of
subscriptions, which included 100/. from a Gentleman
of the name of Bowen, as we understood ; twenty gui-
neas, in addition to former donations, from A.J.
Esq. the Chancellor of the Exchequer 101. the Chair-
man 101. and several other sums.
After the health of Mr. GURNEY had.been drank, and
that Gentleman returned thanks,
Mr. TIMOTHY CARTWRIGHT addressed the Meeting,
and read a list of subscriptions received, to the amoum
of upwards of 1801. of which 791.175. had been collected among the
Hebrew persuasion in the course of the preceding day, by Mr.
Cohen, including ten guineas from that Gentleman, and a similar
mu both from Mr. and Mrs. Rothschild. The subscription alto-
gether amounted to a considerable sum.
In the course of the evening several songs were sung by Profes-
sional Gentlemen, and the evening was marked by good humour
sad benevolence.

Mr. Secretary CANNING did not leave the House of
Commons, on Tuesday night, early, as was stated in some of the
Papers. He remained there during nearly the whole of the debate.,l
Whilst speakinriast night, he evidently suffered under very severe
indisposition. He was obliged to leave the HOuse before the divi-
sion, and we are sorry to hear he is again confined to-day, by a
violent attack of gout.

Law.—There was some undecided -business in the
Courts yesterday, but nothing of general importance. Frederick

VISIT OF THE WYANDOT INDIAN CHIEFs TO THE
LORD MAYOR.—Yesterday the four Canadian Indian
Chiefs were introduced to the LORD MAYOR by Mr.
IRVING BROOK, brother of the late Sir ISAAC BROCK,vrho
fell at Canada. The visitors of his Lordship were the
Grand Chief, the Second Chief, the Chief of the Councils,
or Minister for Foreign Affairs (as the citizens called him,
from his very staresman.likesigpearance), and the Chief
of the warriors, or Comma ader-in•Chief of the Huron or
Wyardot Nation. The Grand Chief, on being intro-
duced to the LORD MAYOR, addressed him in the Indian
language, which was translated into French as he pro-
ceeded : the warrior spoke of the kind and condescending
treatment the Indians had received from his MAJDSTY,
and said they would al ways fight against the King's ene-
mies. The visitors partook of an elegant collation. Their
conduct at table was ns irked by great politeness, and
by remarkable attentions to the Ladies. After the cloth'
was removed, they sang several national songs of 'a
Most ter: ific character, to the dismay of the Ladies and
the astonishment of theGentleanen, and withdr aw leg from
the table, they danced the war dance, and gave the war
svhoop, with the full capability of their lungs. The chief
of the wag riots, who is 64 years of age, was remarkably
active, and capered about in the. most surprising man-
ner. After they had thus amused his L irdshir,
theinselves,and the Ladies, they were couducteithrough
the principal rooms in the- house.
