On Sunday the President, Vice-President, and oft
cm of the Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences,
attended by Mr. Englehard, and several of the Mem-
bers of that Institution, waited de Mr. Itallles, and
delivered the following Address, which was read by
the Secretary :

44 THE LION. THOMAS St RAFFLES. ESQ. ETC.
16 Hew. Sia—On the oenejoa of your resigning the high office
which you have so lung and so ably filled in the Literary Society
of Batavia, the Members of that Society cannot refrain from ex-
pressing the sentiments of regret which they feel, both for the
causes which led to that resignation. and for the effect which We
are apprehensive, it will have on our future labours.
From the state of decay into which the Literary Society of
Batavia had veduaily fallen, owing to a combination of unfortu-
nate fItCURIGUIACCI, it was your stem: exertions and unwearied
seal in the promotion of literature and Draftee, that bid it rise
once more, that favoured its proceedings, and leas enabled it to
resume its activity. We acknowledge this with equal gratitude
and prlde, motintroll that with us will even diadoguish the period
while you presided over the Society yea bass Maned to a new
eztaumee.

" Allow us then, Honourable Sir, to oar pm the sincere es-
pressions of our respect, tepid, and attachment—of ipir ansiety
to omnibus aided by your correspondence and nascence In
Europe—of our 'rumen wishes for your complete recovery—.
and out hopes that, in the .screw of Win life to which your
eminent abilities will hereafter doubtless all yins, you may haw
teimies to devote some eon of your lime to those Hunan and
scientific pursuits in which you are equally well qualified to take
a conspicuous and important share.
" .finaluus to retain among us some durable memorial of the
distinguished honour we are now to low' we beg to sack your
consent to authorise our axons in Londnn to procure your Unit
for us u soon as possible after your arrival, to be placed fe the
Hall of our Society, in that vacant niche which was Intended to
receive the Bust of our late Noble and revered Patron, the Earl
of Mama. Ihe hopes we entertained on this point having been,
alas I disappointed, by the lual event which deprived us' of his
distinguished patronage and protection, we turn to you, Hon. Sir,
as slate worthy to replace him in our attachment and veneration.
" We have the honour to be, Hon. Sir,
" Your most oheditnt, attached,

To the above Address his Excellency returned a
suitable reply. Rehiring to a recent discourse ad.
dressed by him to the Society on the occasion of his
approaching departure, for an explanation of his sea-
timents on first accepting, and now vacating the Chair
in favour of the Learned Professor Koss, and express.
ing his deep sense of the additional honour which the
Society had now conferred upon aim, by this unex-
pected and unmerited mark of attention, his Excel.
lency observed, that he felt himself ill qualified tore.
ceive at any rate the full measure of acknowledgment
which the So:iety seemed desirous to express, the sole
merit to which he could admit my claim being that
of having given the assistance and protection of Cio-
vemment to an Institution which had for its object
the most important and-interesting pursuits of man-
kind.—The Society bad on many occasions expresied
themselves in terms far too flattering, both of his qua-
lifications and of his services—he acknowledged him-
-1 self a lover, of literature, and at all times desirous of
'protectiag -and forimatding.the inusuiis of scieqmssoft
general knowledge; butte had no claims whatever,
either on the score of his personal qualifications; or of
Any services be might from his station at the herd of
the Government have been able to render. the Insti-
tution—to the consideration which was shewn to both
in the Address now presented, he could only receive
such expressions as arose from the warmth of their
their
personal, attachment towards him; and on that A-
ccount, however flattering and unmerited might be the
terms, lie ackitowledged, that, viewing the Address
in this light. be received this expression of. their sen-
timents with the utmost gratification.
• His Excellency concluded by observing, that al-
though every one must feel conscious bow ill calcii-
ktethit Bust would be to instply the place of that
iiitended to represent the late illustrious and ever to
lit lamented Patron to the Institution, the Eat of
Kanto, he bad too much respect for the Society, and
-Mt even their flattery too welcome .to his breast, to
refuse a compliance with their request.
'The following Address, signed by the Gentlemen
who bad composed his Excellency's Staff, and been
entilloyed in stations more particularly connected
with his Excelleney'iperson, was forwarded after Mr.
Ra&es bad quitted Batavia. The reply follows

MELTING at the MT of LONDON TAVERN.

A very numerous meeting yesterday took place at
the City of London Tavern, to take into considera-
tion the present digressed state of the lower classes,
and the most effectual means of extending relief to
them. About half-past one o'clock the Duke 01'1
Yonsc entered and took the chair, supported oa his
right by the Duke of Kim', and on his left by the
Duke of CMINUICII. He was accompanied on his
entrance by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop
of London, the Duke of Rutland, Lord Mantels,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Wilberforce,
and other distinguished individuals. •
His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK itnme.
diately proceeded to open the business of the meeting
by. observing, that as .the gentlemen then assembledj
toglitber bad doors htin- the lioitour to place him 4,1
uhf chair, it became his duty to state the object whieit '
they weer then called upon to consider. He shoulk
do this in a very few words, not merely from a ctin-
scions:sesta his own inability, but from a belief that
many were to follow him on the same subject who
were fully competent to the task. The present meet-
ing had been called to consider, and u tar as possible
to allefiate, the present distress and sufferings of the,
labouring classes of the community. These distresses
were, he feared, too well known to all who heard
him in require any description; and all that he had
to add to the bare statement of them, was the ex-
pression of his sonfideace, that the libetality which
bid been se signally manifested in the cause of fo-
reign distresses, would net be &nod to be wanting`
whes the direction of it was to be towards the can-
fort and relief of our own countrymen at home.—
(Lead liftlinsu.)
Mr. CALLAN. • the Secretary to the Association of
the year 1812, then read a part of a-report drawn up
by !L committee /3f .that society ; 'it stated, that the
sone% though with very inadequate funds, had
produced very extensive good by communicating ac-
tivity to.lo -md benevolence, and by furnishing a model
upon which county meetings and the subscriptions
and efforts of macular districts might be formed,
and brought into a state of efficient operation. The
impatience of the room, which was crowded beyond
all rumple, interrupted she reading of the report,

rid, it the request of the Duke of Cambridge, Itt
Cartel desisted.
The Duke of Krwr said, he regretted mach clot
it had not been in the power of the gentlerrorn wh
had just sat down to gain the attention of the mt
et.
°
ing, and he attributed it entirely to the weakness
of
his lungs ; betause, if the whole had been ii,ard,
he
was sure that it would have convinced every body a
the correctness of the views origin.dly entertr.inea
the association of 1812, and of the diligence wit:
which they had been pursued. The society had run
with much opp isition ; it had been ebjeeted to theft
that their objects were not patriotic, but politicy
He begged to state, that the late Mr. Wh'tb a rea
' been so perfectly satisfied of the futility of these,*
jections, that he had in the most public and coda
manner acknowledged that his hest impressions hai
been erroneous, and had been active in joini•;te 1,1
exertions to those of the institution. suer It
lament, because he knew the value of his as,,tancv
and how freely it would have been sTouded, the
want of it on this occas:on. The pl tin attJ isnal
principle upon which that socie! y vi.es termed wai
that those who had the me.,0.; conoribtite4
their due proportion to the relict of those who fords,
means at all. 'Die condition of ti.e country at tlia
period, the actual calamity which pressed town it,
were such as to prodtice di:content and even inv.
rection. At present no such consequences had tattet,
place ; and yet he would venture to state, that iamsey
parts of the kingdom the suffet togs which it eras,,,
their object till alleviate had at no former period he% •
exceeded. With respect to the causes of this distrrio,
that presented a question into which it was Iva necei,
sary to inquire with a view to their iramediale par.
pose. The immediate object was to raise a fund, in the
subsequent accumulation and management of wlnca
many ulterior arrangements might be projected, and
from which charity might soon emanate in a thus.
sand directions. He doubted not that every comer
and every town would be quick to imitate the exam•.
ple of the metropolis. The association of 1812 had
at least the merit of producing this effect, and had
spread through the whole land that spirit of attire
benevokece which he was feebly invoking on this
occasion. He trusted that it was necessary for him
to say but little more to ensure the adoption of the
resolution which he should have the honoer to pro.
pose. He confessed he felt gratified when be saw so
great a concourse of his countrymen assembled top-
Cher for such a purpose, and additional gratify-mins
at seeing by whom they were supported. Oa his kit,
in the chair, he found an illustrious relative of his
who was always forward in works of beneficence,
and never forgetful of the interests of the lower
orders. Near him sat an illustrious Duke, whoa
character was equally high in the country. Oa his
right he beheld tile chief dignitary of the church, to
whose high and excellent qualities it was imporible
for him to do adequate justice; and around him were
many whose station in society, whose ranks as mem.
hers of the legislature, and whose public character
and talents were well calculated to advance and en.
sure sutcess to their common object. He could nut
but remark likewise, that the presence cf a gentles/14
high in his Majesty's councils (the Chanceolor of the
Exchequer) was a satisfactory pledge that the pr•
poses they contemplated had the countenance and
sanction of the government. He was sale, then, th.it
he should not plead in vain to the na,ional
thy ;but that a remedy would be promptly tofferei
to an evil which he to trued would be f it:nd bui'fins-
porary. If they should be so ham as to stettel
in discovering a new source of eniplo•yrnetit to
supply the place of those channels v.hicir 114 d
suddenly shut up, he should indeed despond it rte
did not soon Restore the country to that same
flourishing condition which had Img made her tie
envy of the world. It would be improptr for him to
trespass longer : he had discharged his share of
duty, and had only to read the first Resolution which
it was proposed to submit to their consideration:—
The Resolution was Om read, and was in rubstance
That the sudden transition from a state cf ex-
tensive war fare to a system of peace has been produc.
five Oa stagivition of employment, and a revulsion

nity ; and causing, in particular tiiitricts, many
stances of great individu .1 distret."
This Address was received with enthusiastic ap-
plauie.
Mr. HARMAN secsnded the Resolution, and espoused
his cordial concturelice with all the ob:elvations ct
the illustrious Mover.
Mr. Fine‘xabegged to express his opistion that the
gloom and despondency which at present seemed to
hang over the country were unwortby of the charm•
ter of Englishmen, or of the glory they had acqoo:rel
by.the arduous struggle which they had so SUiCeth
Cully surmounted. IVben a celebrated ancient re-
public was closely besieged aisti vir,oreuily attocittil
by superior tortes, the ground tape's which tie en-•
my's encampment was fixed was sold at ptsb:ic ;we-
lion, and fetched as high a puke as if it had thca twit

gibal was not at our gates. • Exertions compativi“.l
small would be suficieut to eats icate us from all tA:r
difficulties. If he were allowed to refer at all to 01
cause of these difficulties, he should not liesitr
ascribe them all to a sudden and unlooked•tor ree...c•
tion of the circulating medium. It migi,t t
easy to find a suffizient reotedy, but he Was c00%i.:c..1
that this was the single rout of all the evil which !oo
casts a transient cloud over the land. All that they
had to do at present, and all that it was pe: mictd
them to do, was to confine their eff.:rts to the mit,.
gation of individual distress; and, instead of na.fit!-
