IRISH CHARITABLE socrrrr.

Yesterday upwards of three hundred of the most re- '
spectable individuals dined at the Land .n Tavern,
13ishopsgate.street, to celebiate the commencement
of an Institution which is peculiarly grat. int to the
feelings and contributive to the interests of humanity.
The object of ihis Institution is to afford relief to
those distressed Irish who are not entitled to .ppeal
to any parochial fund, and to en.thle them to return
to their own c untry--of curse the most distinguish-
ed advocates of humanity were amongst its patrons.
The Duke of St•-sEx was in the Chair ; and his Royal
Highness, immedi itely after the temoval of the cloth,
addressed the M...eting, and in the most impressive
terms deprecatA any allusion to evcuts calculated to
excite dissentinn, or to impede the views of the So-
ciety, whose only object was charity (ailading, as we
understood, to the fate of the Catholic Qu-stion).—.
The
quiteSociey
Society, consisting of men of varii us patties,
were responsive to the appeal, exemplifying the
observation, that 4, however Irishmen mdy differ in
religion or politics, in charity they are unanimous."
The healths of" the KING," 66 the Rv.GENT," "the
QUEEN and the rest of the Royal Family," being
drank with appropriate demonstrations of respect and
regard, the health of the Duke of Kr.x.r was propos-
ed and received with the most enthusiastic applause,
on which--

His kovitt. HIGHNESS rose, and after stating that
no language could express the warmth of his feelings
towards the cause, and the country to which the
Meeting related, declared that he should be always
ready to join the good shout at charity whether for
Ireland or Scotland, or England ; adding, that he
was glad to learn that this Society was established so
near the Scotch Institution of a similar nature, hop.
ing that both Institutions would thus become parti.
cularly emulous which should do more for the great
and generous objects in which they were engaged,
particularly in the relief of those poor soldiers and
seamen, who had so often occasion to appeal to the
bounty of that empire f.)r the safety of which the
natives of the three natio,►s had in all instances
fought with equal gallantry, and certainly none more
than the natives of Ireland, for whom he felt a par.
ticular interest.

The health of the Duke of SUSSEX being drank, his
Royal Highness, on returning thanks, declared that
every thing connected with Ireland was near to his
heart, adding that it was through ntistr,ke he happened
to he in the Chair at this Meeting, that distinction
being intended for his Noble Relative. He was not,
he assured the Meeting, anxious to be the first, al-
though he was resolved never to be the last upon such
an occasion.--(4/./doesci.)
On the health of Lord FITZWILLIANI being drank,
the Noble Lord returned thanks in the most interest.
ing terms, stating that he was anxious for the happi-
ness 11 the rich and the poor orders of the people of
Ireland. But the latter lie thought entitled in a pe-
culiar degree to the sympathy and support of all
generous ar.d considerate mind. ; for anicing all the
nations of Europe there was nit to he found a body of
men more faithful and grateful—more persevering in
industry, or patient under privations, than the lower
orders of the Irish. (Loud am/austr.) An Institu-
tion, therefore, which had in view the relief of such
men, when overtaken by that distress cr disease, which
could alone prompt them to accept it, most forcibly
claimed the patronage of every man capable of feel-
ing or intellect, especially in a country where their
merits were known—where their services were felt.
Mr. WAITHMAN returned thanks on the health of
the Vice-Presidents being drank, and expressed his
resolution to afford all the aid in his power to such a
meritorious Institution.

The LORD MAYOR returned thanks on the part of
the Corporation of London, whose liberal bouncy to
the Institution was acknowledged by the Meeting
with three cheers.

Mr. QUIN, as Secretary, stated the funds of the So-
ciety, which amount to about £3OOO, with £BOO an-
nual subscription ; adding that 30 men, 35 women,
and 60 children, had been relieved up to the 22d
instant, while the men, 15 women, and S 3 children,
had been furnished with the means of defraying the
expences of their return to Ireland. The Honourable
Gentleman followed his statement by some observa-
tions, in the course of which he mentioned that the
Institution was originally suggested by Mr. Sheridan,
whose absence on this occasion he particularly re-
gretted ; and that means were tin& rally used to guard
against any improper application of the funds—to
provide that no imposture or fraud should trespass
upon the resource of humanity (applaw.)
Upon the conclusion of this Address the Chairman
proposed the health of Mr. Quin, and thanks to him
for the zeal and talent he had evinced in the rise,
progress, and esta'olishment of this Institution. (Ap-
plauses.)
Mr. QUIN returned thanks, stating a considerable
sum of additional subscriptions received in ti e room.
Shortly afterwards the Duke of Sussr.x quitted the
Chaiv, amidst loud applause ; when Mr. HOLNIES,
M. P. was called to his place, and his Royal High-
ness's health was drank a second time, with rapturous
' applause, and at twelve o'clock the pat ty broke up.
