THE HONOURABLE AND LOYAL SOCIETY OF
ANCIENT BRITONS.

(From the Morning Herald of Tuesday.)
The 126th anniversary festival of this noble charity was
celebrated, yesterday afternoon, at the Freemasons' Tavern.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, supported
by the Primate of Ireland, Lord Powis, Lord Kenyon, Lord
Brecknock, Lord Neville, the Hon. R. Clive, Sir J. Graham,
Sir Charles Morgan, M.P.,C01. Wood, M.P., for Brecon,
Sir B. Hall, M.P., Sir G. arroll, R. Richards, Esq., M.P.,
Sergeant Atcherly, 0. Morgan, Esq., Colonel. Jones, :ice.
Upwards of 300 gentlemen sat down to dinner.
After the customary loyal toasts, which were enthusiasti-
cally responded to,
The illustrious Chairman said, that to the toast which be
now had to propose to them, they would have to show re-
spect by their silence—it was in " Memory of their late Pre-
sident, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, who for 40 years of his
life was one of the greatest benefactors the charity ever had."
The toast was then drunk in silence, the choir chanting the
requiem, "Peace! peace! to his sainted spirit—peace!"
The toast of " The Army and Navy" having been drunk
with the usual honours. _ . .

The royal Chairman begged to propose " The Principality
of Wales—(loud cheers)—and may we," said his royal high-
ness, " soon have a Prince of Wales." (Enthusiastic cheer-
ing, which continued for several minutes.)
The toast was responded to with vehement plaudits, and
one cheer more again and again.
The children educated by the charity were then introduced
and led round the hall. Their healthy and cleanly appear-
ance and cheerful countenances elicited frequent marks of
approbation from the company. Upon the children retiring,
The illustrious Chairman said, that the very interesting
sight which gentlemen had just witnessed, would, he was
sure, induce them heartily to respond to the toast he was
about to propose—" Prosperity to the Welch Charity School."
(Loud cheers.) It was impossible to witness the healthy,
cleanly, and cheerful looks of the children, without deeply
estimating the noble charity by which their personal comforts
were so admirably attended to, and through the means of
which, too, he might add, their moral and religious nurture
was attended to with an anxiety equally laudable, equally ad-
mirable. (Cheers.) It was impossible, he repeated, to be-
hold 170 children thus reared in industrious habits, and a
pure and holy religion, without being moved. (Cheers.) And
he could himself answer, personally answer, for the excellent
manna in which the school in Gray's Inn-lane was con-
ducted. (Cheers.) He had visited the place within the last
week, and it afforded him a high gratification indeed to be
able to assure them that everything which fell under his eye,
in the close inspection he then made, did the greatest credit
to those who superintended the charity. (Cheers.) As a
proof of the sound education given to the children in the
school, he would mention to the company a fact which had
just been communicated to him by a gentleman present, and
that was, that but one case had occurred of a child educated
by the charity being brought before a court of justice. (Loud
cheers.) It would be impossible to offer stronger evidence
in support of the excellent morality taught under this noble
charity. (Cheers.) He hoped that such an institution might
long flourish—(cheers ;) and he trusted that gentlemen pre-
sent would show their desire that it should flourish by their
liberally contributing that night in support of its funds.
(Cheers.) He now begged to conclude by proposing " Pros-
perity to the Welch Charity School," with three-times-three.
The toast was drunk with enthusiastic cheering.
Song—Owen Glendwyr's war song. Air—" The rising of
the lark." Mr. Collier and chorus.
His Royal Highness next proposed " The President of the
Charity, Lord Powis," which was responded to with cheers
repeated again and again.
Lord Powis begged leave to return his grateful thanks for
the honour they had just conferred upon him. They would
allow him to take this the first and earliest, and indeed best
opportunity for him, to return his thanks for the honour
they had done him in electing him the president of their
valuable society. (Cheers.) He was well aware of the diffi-
culties he had to encounter in succeeding to a person so emi-
nently beloved by every truehearted Welchman—(cheers)—
respected wherever he was known,—(loud cheers)--and who,
he believed, never had, within the Principality, one single
person who could be construed into this enemy. (Loud
cheers.) Difficult, however, as the task might be to any
individual who might sueceed to that lamented gentleman,
yet he (Lord Powis) did not belong to a family that would
be deterred by difficulties which it was a duty to encounter.
(Hear, hear.) Those difficulties would urge him the more
to endeavour to rival him, if by possibility that could be the
case, in their affections, and in an anxious desire, through a
long life, if it should please God to spare him, to promote
the best interests of this valuable institution. (Loud cheers.)
The national song and chorus of " St. David's Day" was
then sung by Mr. Fitzwilliam, who introduced the following
verse, to the most loyally expressed approbation of the
company :
" An English prince his succour lends
To cherish the distressed,
Surrounded by old Cambria's friends,
Obeying Heaven's behest ;
And here, where loyalty prevails,
Olet us fondly pray,
That we may have a Prince of Wales
On next St. David's Day."
Lord Powis said the toast, with the proposing of which he
had been honoured, was " The Health of the President of
the day, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,"—
(loud cheers)—the son of one of the most illustrious monarchs
that ever presided over this great kingdom,—(loud cheers)—
and the brother of one of the most munificent patrons this
charity ever had—(cheers) ;—and his royal highness was in
his own person a brilliant example of one who knew his duty
equally in his high and royal station and as a simple citizen
presiding as he did that day over one of the most valuable
institutions in the empire. (Cheers.) He called upon them
to honour the toast as became the-principality.
The toast was drunk with enthusiastic and prolonged
cheering.
The illustrious Duke, in returning thanks, said he should
always feel great pleasure in giving his countenance and sup-
port to so noble a charity as that of the honorable and loyal
society of Ancient Britons. (Cheers.)
The following toasts were next given :—" The Archbishop
of Armagh," " Sir Charles Morgan, and the other Vice-
Presidents of the Society," and the Vice-Presidents of the
day."
Col. Wood, M.P. then proceeded to read the list of sub-
scriptions. Among them were:those of her Majesty's annual
subscription of 100 guineas, the Queen Dowager, £25 ;

FROM THE LONDON PRICES CURRENT,
MARCH 4, 1840; . .

The markets foi West India,.Easi India, and China produce are
buoyant, but the business actually transacted on 'Change this after-
noon was not upon an extensive scale. The demand for Tea is
rather improving. Company's Congous were at 2s 8d to 2s 83d per
lb for cash, and Is 8d to 2s 10d per lb for short prompts. Rather
above 7,000 bags of Saltpetre were publicly offered this afternoon,
and the prices realised for that part of it which was sold was, quality
considered, about the same as were previously obtained.
BALTIC PROUCCE.—The late movements in the Tallow Markets
are thus detailed in one of the monthly " Circulars " just issued :
" From the commencement to the middle of February the price of
Tallow gradually advanced from 4gs Gd to rils gd per cwt. for de-
livery in February or March, or proportions in March and April.
The trade in the mean time bought freely for consumption. During
the latter part of the month there was not so much doing. either
for consumption or delivery on contract, the prices fluctuating be-
tween sis and 52s per cwt." The quotations of Hemp and Flax
are at present considerably below what they were at this period of
last year. The stocks are abundant.
AMERICAN PRODUCE.—The market for Cotton is steady, but for
Tobacco it is very dull of late, the trade pm-chased more sparingly,
under the expectation, generally entertained, that prices will re-
cede still lower, especially as regards the middling samples. Fine
Tobaccos have not been subjected to a proportionate reduction, as
the stocks on hand are much reduced.

The sales of produce at St. Petersburg, on the 18th ult. were as
follows :—Yellow Candle Tallow. first quantity, 1600 casks at 34
5-7 roubles, for delivery in August, and at 35 3-7 roubles, for June.
Half clean Hemp had been sold at 20 roubles, for 4000 poods per
Berkowez, and for Cash.

At Dantzie, up to the 21st ult. freight to London had been taken
at 215 per loud of Fir Deals, and to Liverpool, 5s per quarter for
Wheat.
