.n.tivei sat y this Society was held at the London
Tavern; the Meeting • was numerously and most re-
spcctably attende,!, and by six o'clock, the hour ap-
i-ointed for the Chair to be taken, the room was neat ly
tilled, chiefly with Ladies. The LORD MAyon ha..l
been expected to preside, but from his multifarious
business, had sent to decline thrit honour. in consequence
of which, Mr. Alderman BnowN was unanimously
called to the Chair.

Yesterday morning, at half-past two o'clock, the
watchman on the beat discovered the lower part of the
premises of Mr. Wickford, druggist, the corner of the
Three Nuns Inn, Whitechapel, to be on fire. The Aid-
gate and Whitcchapel engines were quickly on the spot,
but before the possible arrival of any of those from the
different Fire-offices, the flames had reached the entire
premises, which, with the stock in trade, they con-
sumed, and communicating to the Three Nuns Inn,
11 shortly converted it into a heap of ashes. With the
greatest difficulty the horses were saved. Several ad-
joining houses were seriously injured.

the Clergy Of Scotland, tnulc place on Thursday, at the

mony and conviviality. The mirth and glee were kept

ten with the greatest taste and effect. •
