the whole of the natives of the Island of Eimeo, for
the South Seas, sear Otaheite, have renonnced idola-
try, and embraced the Christian faith. Six hundred
and sixty attend the school.
By the schooner Little Dudley, DuYLr., which is
arrived at Ross, in. Ireland, from ra. John's, New.
foundland, we have newspapers to the 6th, and pri-
vate letters to the Bth last. The private communi-
cations are still in a very low strain. Trade was
excessively dull ; there were few or no arrivals froth
America ; and this, with other Unfavourable circolt
stances, made provisions scarce, and excised: as
apprehension of a shortness of supply for the winter.
The local occurrences to be found in the newspapers
are of no great interest. The Eleanor, Catartatsor.
from Waterford, arrived on the sth. The new
Governor, Admiral PICKAIORR, was daily expected.
and hopes were entertained that his arrival would
give some animation to the place.
Sunday morning, as four young men were sailing
on the Flesh Waters, near Lowestoft, the boat upset,
and three of them found an untimely and watery
grave. One was 18 years old, another 21, and the
third about 29. the last has left a Widow and• toe
children involved in great distress.
ltamscare, AUGUST 2.—We arc 1131)14 to say,
that the corn in this part looks very healthy at pre-
sent, and bids fair for a good harvest, notwithstand-
ing the continual wet weather we have for such a
length of time expeli2nced, in common with the
country at large.
CORK, JULY 27.—Wednesday morning a party et
twelve Dragoons, headed by Mr. HartuaN, Surveyor
of Excise, accompanied by Messrs. Eraca.som and
HARLY, Excise Officers, proceeded to the mountain
of Gurrane Liagh, about four miles to the northwest
of Inniskeane, with the intention to seize on a large
Copper Still, which they found at full work. Up-
wards of 1000 gallons of put-ale were derroyed,
and the still was got on earslor the purpose of having
it conveyed to the Custorn.houre. The workmen,
who had previously sought to defend the premises
when first attacked, now rushed upon the military in
great numbers. The Dragoons fired all their am.,
munition, without effect: at one time the Officers
were surrounded by the mob. Three of the D-agoons
were severely injured, being left by the assailants as
they thought nearly dead—the remainder of the party'
escaped, some with deep cuts and bruises, and more
without their helmets, &c. The consequence was
that the seirtne was ineffectual, as the country peo-
ple succeeded in rescuing the still, and Lear:.l it of
in tumultuous triumph.

azniParxii INSTI:TUTION.

yesterday * numerons and respectable Meeting' of

of the Chair, had been prevented by private

deavour to do his duty, and he trusted that should he
in-any respect seem deficient, the meeting, would re.,
member it was not the Duke of Kent who presided.
—Hialso wished to mention that Messrs. Sheriffs
Bell and Thorpe would have been. present had they
Rot been prevented by private indispensihle business.
The Report of the proceedings sof the Society were
alien read by Mr. Nerve, from which k appeared that
65 individuals had received pensions to a very great
sount, and that several respectable tradesmen had
ken relieved by loans of money. The Meeting were.
prticularly gratified to learn that the Princess Char-
kite, who had tour years ago become the patroness
of this Society; -hoe explained its object to Prince
Leopold, and that he had voluntarily come forward
as one of its patrons, and in the most flattering terms
eapressed his approbation of its object..
Earl Potarta.r was glad to hear what had been
done, and moved that a Society in aid of the present
Institution be formed at Islingtim.
Rev. Mr. Ko•arece, in seconding the motion, ex-
pressed his high satisfaction at the numerous benevo-
lent Institutions which Great Britain could boast of.
He was extremely happy at the formation of the
present Institution when he remembered it was to
emend relief solely to those who, by unforeseen acci-
dent, had been reduced from a state of affluence to
all the horrors of poverty and woe. He could not
doubt the benevolent feelings of the present Meeting.
Religion and experience taught us that io doing good
toothers we conferred a benefit on ourselves, for we
thereby rece ved an inexpressible pleasure.
.The motion was then put and carried unanimously.
Rev. Dr. Cotten understanding that his Royal
Highness was engaged in the evening, would not
detain the Meeting by any lengthened observations.
The sitaation of those whom this Meeting was called
is relieve was painful in the extreme. We were
called to give our a.d in behalf of those who h.td ex.
leaded not their money but their blood for us. It
was a well known fact, that those in the middle class
of lic were unable to- bear the miseries of the poor,
is cessequence of their habits being different. To
Mine them fri:m that ruin which was hanging over
then was the object of the Institution. It was an
object embracing the views of Christians of every
denomination. We met not as the friends of this or
that party, not to advocate our peculiar tenets in
religious belief, but to plead the cause of humanity,
and in that glorious cause to sacrifice thole pup
distinctions which divided the religious world. The
cause was that of humanity—a cause certainly calling
for all the energies of the human mind, and for all
the exertions we could possibly make. He was
proud to see so many ladies present, and from their
pleasant looks be had no doubt of much success to
the Institution. He concluded by moving that a
Society be formed in Islington in aid of the parent
Institution, and that several Gentlemen (whose
names he read over) be appointed a Committee,
which was unanimously_agreed to.
Rev. Mr. JONES was glad to see so many present;
and while he ripened the absence of the Duke of
Kent, he rejoiced to see the Chair so ably flied by
the friend of every benevolent Instit4tion.—(4
pfeera.)—He -rejoiced to see the present Meeting
composed of' all denominations of Christians as he
detested party spirit, and was glad at every Institu. i
lion which had in view the conciliation of all parties.
No man deserved the name of a man whose heart I
was not kindled with enthusiasm in the great cause
of benevolence. He was pleased very much to see
se many ladies present ; he trusted there were none

box, wrapped up in so piece of white gaper. Such
conduct, such pitiful dexterity at deceiving, deserved
the execration of every honest mind. He moved that
the Thanks of the Meeting be given to his Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex, for the honotir he has .
done the Meeting in taking the Chair. The motion
Vat carried with loud and repeated cheers.
The Duke of SUSSEX returned his warmest thanks
to the Meeting, for the honour they had done him in
approving of his feeble exertions in the Chair. He',
at ail times deprecated the discussion of politics in al
Meeting of this nature, and certainly thought no good
soatever could result from such a diseussion. Yet
he gloried in being a Briton, when he remembered
the many, the almost incredible exertions his country-
men'had made in behalf of suffering humanity.—
Pflatinano)—He lamented the alarming pressure of
the present crisis, which had prevented many bene.
volent persons from coming forward as they were
accustomed to do in behalf of the indigent. This,
however, Was a fresh stimulus to those who had it in
their power to be active. It was the highest glory
a rich man could possibly attain to be the friend of a
virtuous poor fellow creature. A man truly bon-
**lent showed he was sensible of the duty he owed
to his Gon, and was determined to be a good subject
of the Government under which he lived. He par-
tictiltuly approved of local Institutions. By means
of these the character, situations and circumstances
of the applicant for public charity, were rigidly
examined, and thus the old adage was fulfilled, 04 he
who gives well gives doubly .b He thanked the
ladies for the handsome' manner in which they had
cease forward on this occasion, and he trusted they
would shew by their liberality today, that they knew
IWittily how to sympathize with, but also how to
Ter" their poorer brethren. " And now, Ladies,
(said his Royal Highness) T observe some of you
hey Ming, let me hope you will all soon get boa-

yon have dune me in approving of my canduct.isstb4.
Chair, and while know take my leave of you, allow
me to say, that should you at any other time assetnlslt
together for the purpose of promoting the cause of
humanity and benevolence, yoll cannot oblige mt
more, or do me more heartfelt pleasure, than by
commanding my services. I consider it onquestion-
ably the highest honour to be the humble insttument
of doing good and promoting the interests of my
fellow .mortals."
His Royal Highness then left the Chair amid
much applause.
