! After the general businese of the meeting had been Aisporied
of, furtv-ise+en new members were admitted, and. the meeting'
was then adjourned until three o'clock, when it ()gala assembled
for the put ore °flaying the foundation stone of the bees Von-
iturvative Hall. At this ceremony upwards of two. hundred
ntettiberii of the society were present, and Also a number of

ties. Having done this he addressed the gentlemen predent to
the following effect :
" I feel particular pride in having been selected on. this tic&
lion to perform a ceremony which I can only regret was nei
placed in abler hands ; but since you have deputed ate W per-
form this office I do it with the greater pleasure, because this is
the first stone that has been laid as the ftruudation of .a conser-
vative building about to be raised by the first conservative society
established hi this country. From this, Which we may call the
parent Conservative Society in England; others lisive sprung in
various parts of the country which bard achieved victories, and
which have echoed back to us the principles we were the first to
promulgate.- I allude, gentlemen, more particularly to the
' letter read this marutpg froth the chairman of Mr. Parker's com-
mittee, in Devonshire, in answer to our letter.of cougratulation
upon their • late glorious Victory. That letter attributes their
recent successful stand • against republicanism to the formation
of a similar society in that county, grounded upon the basis of
the South Lancashire Association. The same principles have
produced the same result in Staffordshire." Mr. Ridgway con-
cluded by proposing three cheers for the King. •
These cheers were enthusiastically giVem- and followed by
" God save the King," in which the whole conipanv joined un-
covered. Three cheers were also given fur • The Queen,"

THE KING'S BIRTHDAY. --Yesterday. -morning at eleven
o'clock the staff of the 80th regiment of foot marched from the--
barracks, in• Lime-street, in full unifofm, to a field in Crosby,
lane, and tired a feu de joie in honour of his majesty's birth:
day.. This was folloWed by three hearty cheers. Each soldier
wore a sprig of oak in.his cap, and the colours here also deco-,
rated with -the same appropriate emblem of the day. There
were many ladies and gentlemen present. The feeling exhi-
bited by all the by-standers tecalled to mind the times of the
good old King, when the 4th-of :Pone as kept as a national jai:
bilee-day. '1 he royal standard tv.as hoisted on the public build-
ings of the town.
THE BLIND AsyLum.—ln consequence of the chapel attitChed
to this institution being closed while painting and beautif,,ing,
it has been erremeously supposed that the School for the Mind
has also been closed. This, we are requested to state, is not the
case, and that the school is open to visitors as heretofore.

Wednesday a lady,' while walking down Bold-street, Was in-
formed by two other ladies who were casually following hf.r,
that two men, in passing,-had thrown something froin u 'natio

had fallen. Information •was immediately given to the itoperin.
tendent of police, and se handsome reward offered for,the-appre.-.
heusion of the mh-creants.- For this act of cowardly rulEsnisM,.
no probable motive can be assigned. Had there been asi
reetj

apprehended and brought to justice. A fraginenrof. the biani
dress has been left at our ()thee, where it maybe seen._ •
NUISANCE,—The inhabitants of Castle-street and. the neigh:
bourhood complain greatly of the stench of the slatighter-housea.
in Harrington-street. In the morning especially; when the
manure is carted away through the principal thoroughfates„ ;tin

board of commissioners will cause it to be-abated. • •
