SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.

The friends and supporters of this excellent Charity
met yesterday evening, at the City of London Tavern,
Bishopsgate-street, in aid of its funds, when, at about
siz o'clock, between two and three hundred persons sat
down to a sumptuou3 dinner, WILLSANI MANNING, Esq.
M.P. in the Chair, in the absence of Lord Mst.vit.t.a.
After the cloth was removed, "the KING," and other
toasts were drank; and in the course of the evening
the Secretary's Report, which presented a very flatter-
ing account of the institution, was read. It appears
that the another of patients received di board the Sea-
men's Hospital Ship Grampus, from Oct. 24, 1821, to
February 2, 1825, amounts to 3,369, including Eng•{
lish, Scotch, Is ith, and others from various parts of this
*odd ; 3,198 were received from his Majesty's Navy;
the H.mottrable East India Company's Service, and
Merchant Vessels of different nations. Prior to the es-
tablishment of the Institution, it was ascertained that
the number of Seamen destitute of medical advice, in
the port of London, was from seven to 800. The num-
bers since received into the hospital have been in the
year 1821, 413 ; 1822, 788; 1823, 919 ; 18'24, 1249.

APPEALS BEFORE THE LORDS.

••• . - -
Yesterday, at ten o'clock, the House of Lords began
the hearing of appeals.
Lord Gifford appeared at the table in his robes, as
Deputy Speaker, in the abseil-cc of the Lord Chancel-
lor. On his right, Lord Gifford was supported by Lord
Colchester, and on his left by the Duke of Sussex.—
Lord Saltoun was also present. One appeal occupied
the House during the whole of the day. It was that of
Andrew Macdowell, Egg. of Logan, appellant, and
Alexander Macdow•ell, agent and manager for the
owners of the brig Lord Nelson. and her cargo. The
point at issue was respecting the shipwreck. Counsel
had been heard at great length, and
•Dr. Lustinvcvou was proceeding at four o'clock, when
Lord GIFFORD said, I beg to remind you, Dr. Lush-
ington, that it is f9ur o'clock, and that at such hour ap-
peals must terminate. I mention it because the other
business of the House, will always require an adjourn-
ment punctually at such appointed hour. As you have
net concluded your address, perhaps it would be better
that the further consideration of this appeal should be
postponed till to-morrow.
Dr. LusniNorom observed, that if the House would
indulge him with ten minutes' attention more, he would
undertake to conclude in such time; and such indul-
gence would preclude the necessity of adjournment.
The time was granted, and Dr. Lushington concluded in less
than seven minutes.
Lord Girrcnto said, judgment on the appeal must be postponed.
At the conclusion of the business, the Duke of Sus-
sex, who appears now to enjoy excellent health, came
down to the House, went to Dr. Lushington, and shook
hands with him very cordially. The Duke remained
some time in conversation with the Learned Counsel.
The appeals will be resumed, and the hearing of
them, before the last four Peers, will continue daily
through the Session, Saturdays and adjournments of
the House excepted.

This neat and cheap little wo.k contains a summary

atitirn, that any of the Companies now forming, are
either so visionary or nefarious as those of 1720.
Indeed, although we have doubts as to the success of
some of the new Companies, yet we do not think any
of them either very extravagant or irrational, and as to
nefariousness, we believe that is a charge which cannot
be substantiated against one of them. The respectability
of the Directors of ali these Companies, is a guarantee
against anything fraridnlent: far different was the case
with the schemes in 1720, when any into who could
raise money to advertise or prilit a prospectus, and hire
a room for a day in the City, might pick up a few hun-
dred pounds in deposits, for airy project, however pre7
posterous: and how absurd they were, we need only
mention that there wan one for " Laur ante against Lt-ss
by Servants:" another, for " Making Oil from Sun-
flowers ;" a third Company for " Raising Silk Worms;"
a fourth, for " Planting Mulberry-trees; a fifth, for
«Trading in Human flair;' a sixth, for " Fatting of
Hogs ;" a seventh, for " Importing a number of large
Jack-asses from Spain, in order to breed a large kind
of Mules in England ;" and lastly, for the " line would

Now, it is scarcely fair to class such insane projects
as those with the Companies recently projected, most of

mend this little work, as containing much curious in-

history of British Commerce.

A Selection of French Melodies, with Symphonies and

W. 1-1. BELLAMY, Esq. Part I.
We are glad to see our English composers doing jus-
tice to Ftench music. The melodies here selected are
very beautiful, and nrich good taste is displayed in the
symph.-nies and accompaniments. The words, too,
which areoriginal, do great c,edit to the poeti_al ta•
lents of Mr. Bellamy, and are peculiarly suited to the
musk. if as much care and judgment is shewn in the
succeeding numbers of this work, it will form an ele-
gant and valuable collection of French melodies.

SIR WILLIAM ADAMS ox

'AN MINES.

Among the various new Companies that have
cently been formed, there is none in which shares have
fluctuated so much as in the Mining Companies, owing
to the inaccurate statements which have from time to
time appeared on the subject. Exaggerated represen-
tations as to the probable gain, made speculators eager
for shares, when reports of an opposite character de-
pressed them, and made the more timid holders sell
as indiscreetly as they had purchased.
We have been led to make these remarks on perusing
a pamphlet by Sir William Adams,*which has just ap.
peared, on Id The actual state of the Mexican Mines,
and the reasonable expectations of the Shareholders of
the Anglo-Mexican Mine Association." In this pamphlet
the Author has collected a rast boJy of information,
not only relative to the Mines of South America, but on
the subject of mining itself ; and he pretty clearly chews
that treble the quantity of ore formerly obtained from
the mines, may be reasonably expected by working
them scientifically, and with the aid of machinery.
—Sir William has alm ascertained, that the Mexican
ores admit of being most beneficially reduced by the
same processes that are employed for the reduction of
the tin ores, in Cornwall. This important fact has
been ascertained by the experiments on Mexican ores,
by Mr. Moyle, a very experienced peacticAl mining
engineer. The riches of the Mesicati Mines is pro-
ver bial ; 'and there can be no doubt, that, with English
capital and English ingenuity, they will be rendered
more than doubly productive.

Indemnity to the present holders of national domains,'
instead of the Emigrants, on the condition that they
should restore those domains to the latter. This amecd-
ment, however, was rejected almost unanimously. no

one having risen in its favour on a division, save its
author, M. le Baron de COMPIONY.

Dutch Papers to the 26th inst. reached us this fore-
noon; they contain an article, by Dr. (ham, on the
late inundations, and stating, that another high tide
may be expected on the 4th of next month.

The Morning Chrenide of to-day treats its readers
with the following piece of astounding intelligence. We
trust it will not unnerve the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER, or prevent him from giving that satisfactory
and gratifying view of our finances which is expected
from him this evening.
•« An American newspaper, containing a Resolution
of congress, authorising their men of war to pursue
pirates, even to the landing, and exterminating them
on shore, reached London on Friday last, through a
'merchant, who communicated it to his. MAJESTY'S
s HOisters. It appears that they were taken by surprise,
and view the mailer in a serious light, as if the Ame-
ricans really entertain a design of the occupation of the
island of Cuba, from which a piracy has so long in-
fested the West Indian seas."
We do not mean to say that Ministers have not te-

ceived the above intelligence, but if it took them by
gignise, the Paper which contained the news,
must have been the only journal they have seen for

some time.

It will be,in tbe recollection of our. Readers, unless
their memories are as treacherous as the chronicler's,
that ie the Message of the PaRSIDMIT Or the United
States to Congress, which appeared in the STAR
January, he expressly at-
m of the character,
as taking Ministers,

ei Whether theseluiphers shall Nie pursned on the kiik
the local authorities be made responsible for theseatro-
cities or any other measure be resorted to to suppress
them, is submitted to the consideration of Congress"
It will thus be seen that a law like that which his
alarmed the Morning Chronick, and, it would make us
believe, his MAJESTY'S Ministers to boot, was an express
subject the Congress was to take into consideration.
Scarcely had the preliminary business of the Senate of
the United:States been discussed, when the Message of
the PaIUIDENT was backed by a petition from Boston,
prayir

ing • for the adoption of severe measures against the
.rates; it was presented by:Mr. LLOYD, who declared it
*as in unison with the voice of the whole country,
which called fox' vengeance on these bloodhounds. This
we noticed in the STAR of the 27th ult.: the Petition was
.said, in the American Papers, to have excited great at-
tention in the Senate ; and a few days afterwards we find
a Bill introduced in the Senate, in the spirit of the PRR•
ASIDRif s Message. By this Bill, is will be seen by re-
ferenceto the Svinof the 12th inst. " steam-vessels, and
others of a suitable construction, for pursuing the
pirates into the rivers where they may take 'refuge, are
to be built; and authority is given to the commanders,
if necessary, to follost, and capture them on land, to what-
ever Power or territory they may belong." So much,
then, for the astoundipg intelligence of the Chronicle,
which has alarmed Ministers, and drawn from the
Editor a lamentation about the pacific disposition of our
Government, which, we are told, dare not openly
affront the Holy Alliance. Recognizing the inde-
pendence of Colombia, Mexico, and Buenos Ayres,
was of course done out of fear of the Holy Alliance.,T-4,
We are well aware that the people of the United States
would very gladly get Otsba ; but this is not the time
to attempt it ; and the Act of the Senate is one for which
we have shewn every person (the Chronicler, of course,
escepted) must have been prepared, for the last two
months.

Saturday, the Deputies fiorn the Catholic Association
made 'then• 'debut on an English stage, at the Free.
masons Tavern; but, however attractive the treat, the
audience was by no means so numerous as was expected
Mr. (nous:ELL spoke for three hours, and laboured
hard to prove that Ireland had been wronged for seven
hundred years, and that the only time in which the;
Roman Catholics had justice,was lin the reign of Alarm
of bloodstained memory. Mr. 011 a w cox and Mr.
SHIEL followed, but none of the speeches threw any new ,
light on a much haciniesl subject.

In man4le of crimson the tither of Day
Descends in the uttermost 'West,
To lend other regions his elterishhig ray,
And foster the lands he loves best ;
The peak of the mountain is red, but its breast
Is darkened with shadows and dim to the view,
While throned on htr chariot, and beaming afar,
Comes onward, In silence, the night-loving star,
To sprinkle the landscape with dew!
"Ells pleasant to wander on evening so sweet,
When earth wears the ensians.of peace,
The heart throbs enamour'd. and triumphs to greet
From the tumults of sorrow release;
The cares that o'ershatiow'd and threaten'd us. cease,
To leave an Ripium behind ;
And dreams of enchantment, tenrueed and smodth,
That stnird in the fanciful visions of youth,
Revive in the eye of the mil:di
Come days of felicity, come ye, and bring
Your fairy-built domes ta my view,

POLICE IYTELLIGENCA

BOW-STRIUTIk
Yesterday, kin Leitisil Webster, alias &fy, was biongit itp 1. the
custody of Thomas Jones, a police constable, on ti warrant in which
she stood charged with obtanditg,...by false and fraudulent pin;,.
antes', three silk scarfs, and a *lentily .f grade Zferpks, hombadne;
and other goods, value J 811.5 and upsseards, the property of Messrs.
Mann, drapers, in Parliament-stred. the prisoner Warel menthe
ago kept a coffee.hOuse at Charing-creek and -was at that time ifs
custody it this office, on charges of obtaihing, money under false
pretences, from one of her lodgers and other persona:
From the evidence now adduced, it appeared that a Lady of the
name of Johnstone, widow of the late Comptroller of the Tyro:
penny Post-ohice, in Gerrard-street,Soho, had been for ttarode
*Customer at Messrs. Mann's. She mow resides at
Eenezond it was stated that the prisoner had obtained the gindo to
question by using that Lady's name.
The prisoner seemed dejected, and when asked if she had ant"
defence to offer, remarked, that she had, ever since she was a child/
had things from Messrs. Mann's, on account of Mrs. Johnstooil
who was her aunt. It Was very strange, she added, that Millet
Mr. Mambo's. his shopthan, nor the post-boy, knew her, Whim Ai
had been almost from infancy with her aunt and late uncle. Shi
thought her aunt ought to be present.
Mr. HALLS said, the presence of Mrs. Johnstone was absolutol
necessary, and the primer therefore would see her at the neat
examination.
The prisoner was committed to Tothill.fields prison for forthei
examination on Tuesday next.
The following very singular document was found in her pocket;
by Jones, the officer :
(C0rv).1.1.1, Eliza Louisa Webster, wife of John Webster, of

GARRATt MAYOR.
•
COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the CHAM-
4. .
BER of the GUILDHALL of the CITY of LONDON,
on WZDJIMMY, the i6th day of February, 1825,

Resolved, That this Court have observed with great satisfaction
the assurances contained in his Majesty's Speech from the Throne,
together with the declarations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
respecting the general prosperity of the Country.

And, relying with confidence that such encouraging statements
will lead to the Repeal of various Taxes, and especially to such as
have been deemed most oppressive and vexatious in their operation,
And knowing the patience with which the People have borne
the heaviest burdens in times of national peril and difficulty, they
feel themselves bound to represent to the Honourable the House
of Commons that the Assessed Taxes, especially the House and
Window Duties, have been grievously felt by the Middling and
Lower Classes of Tradesmen; nor can they believe that the re-
duction of Duties upon any Articles of Luxury win afford those
substantial benefits to the Community which would immediately
result from the Repeal of the House and Window Taxes.

That the Collection of these Assessments is attended with heavy
charges, by the appointment of Collectors, Inspectors, and Crown
Officers, and that the numerous Surcharges and Appeals which arise
out of this system occasion the most vexatious contests in every
part of the Kingdom. WOODTHORPE.

3ROODEN V. BROWN.

This was a suit to try the validity of the will of Mrs.
Mary Jones, lateof Clark's-place, Islington, deceased.
The deceased was a widow with an only daughter, about
twelve years of age. She and her daughter were taken
ill together, and the daughter died two days before her.
The will was made on the day before the decease) died,
and gave the interest of her property (which amounted
to about 10001. in the whole) to her Wilier, Mr. John
Brown, for life; and at his death, bequeathed the prin-
cipal equally between her surviving brother and sister,
Mr. Edward Brown and Mrs. M'Gregor. The will was
made by Mr. Brogdeu, the executor, but he took no
beneficial interest under it.

It iippeared in evidence, that Mr, John Brown, the
father, had been for many years in a state of mental
imbecility, and had been mainly supported by Mr.
Brogden, whohad also been a very great benefactor to
the whole family. .After the deceased's death, Mr.
Edward Brown removed his father from the residence
where he had been placed by Mr. Brogden to his own,
and instigated him to institute the present snit, opposing
the will on the alleged ground of the deceased's mental
incapacity to make it, Mr. Edward Brown making
hinrself responsible for the costs of the proceeding.

After hearing the evidence and arguments of Counsel at length,
Sir JOHN NICHOLL pronounced for the validity of the will, at the
same time highly eulugi3ing the generous conduct of Mr. Brogden.

Letters from St. Thomas's, by the late mail, state,
that A serious conspiracy among the Negroes had been
diic vered. The white inhabitants were in conse-
quence obliged to appoint guards during the night,
and the alarm was very great, as the plot was repre-
sented to be extensive, and to he connected with the
Negroes of the neighbouring islands.
A letter fiom Copenhagen, of the sth of February,
states, as a report, that Sweden had determined on fol-
lowing tile example of England in the recognition of
the South American States, and that M. de Lianswor.r,
who four months before had. left Stockholm for Colom-
bia, would be intrusted with the neguciation. of the,
,Treaties with that Republic.
