REFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE.
The thirteenth anniversary of this institution was
celebrated yesterday at the City of London Tavern.
Amongst the many charitable establishments by which
this country is so highly distinguished, there is nose
of a less ostentatious character, though few are calcu-
lated to be more highly beneficial to the community,
than the Refuge for the Destitute. The object of this
institution, as described in the Report of the cm.
matte', is to provide a place of refuge for persons who
have been discharged from prison, or from the hulks;
be mmihetunate and deserted females, and others who,
*MO willing to work, are unable, from loos of cha-
nger, to earn an honest maintenance. Within this
asylums they are withdrawn from the paths of tempt,.
don and vice; they art taught to reaonace their
former habits of life, to pursue industrious employ-
ments, to form resolutions of penitence and reforma-
tion, and to return to society with renewed hearts and
amended lives.
The Duke of York was expected to preside; but hi,

Royal Highness was justly entitled from the company.
Let it he remembered that his Royal Highness had,
from the beginning, been one of the warmest sap.

branches of the Royal family, he had descended from
his elevated rank, if he might use such an expression,
and had mingled with his fellow-subjects in endeavour.

and to reform the depraved. On the second part of the

a few words. He had had the good fortune to he v-
quainted with this Institution for some time, sad, in
his mind, there was none that called so loudly for the
support of every intelligent man, because there was
none which did so much good with so little mesas.
It appeared, from the report, that from Jan. I, ISle,
to Jan. I, 1620, 5$ males and 43 females had ken

and 55 females had been discharged. Them reinsined
at present in the asylum 61 males and the same am-
ber of females, the Committee being obliged to redoes
the number of objects from the want of pmentary
means. He belonged to the Committee of that So-
ciety, and of all the painful duties which be ever per-
formed, none left such a sting in his mind as his at-
tendance at the Refuge for the Destitute, when the
Committee were obliged to turn from their doors dims
objects whom they could not relieve from wain of
adequate means. Although the Institution had
originally been established fur the relief of the
destitute rather than the criminal, its tomtits were
now applied almost solely to the criminal destitute. Se

a few words as to the manner in which tistreherity
was conducted. He wished that every Gentismaa
who heard him would do himself the pleasure—for
high pleasure it would afford—to visit the Institudes.
It was truly gratifying to see the comfortable dtiaties
and the grateful countenances of the munitteus eh-
jetty, particularly the females and ehildreo, whom
the Society had rescued from want and vice. Be had
placed in the Refuge many children whom he had
seen in various Osumi, and from whets hardened
countenances he had been led to fear that them wee
little chance of their reformation ; but when Se after-
wards saw them at this Institution, aid observed the
gratitude and penitence which were expressed hi their
countenances, he felt convinced that it never was tee
late to attempt reformation. If ever there was an Insti-
tution which called for the support of the charitable
and affluent, and to which men should give a patios

bestowed on them, it was this Society, became me

the discussions on the petition of M. Madier.
*Slew Moot in his petition demanded the entire
mil of the Count Decaxes from the appointment
Minister of the leterior. The Siesta Danny and

public posts the old friends of the monarchy,
sad replacing them by traitors and enemies of
the Bourbons. H- accused him of bring the

The Sitar Galloy reproached him as having perverted
tVe peo?le and the army. and as having excited them
w revolt. Before passing to the third petition, the
'reporter observed, that the two former appeared to
written by the same person, though bearing dif-
idea; signatures. The Slear Lejoyand demanded
et impeachment of Docases. I will, said the He-
rter. by the advice of the committee, forbear to read
this petition. It is filled with imputations the most odi-
ous against M. Deceses, to whom it imputes all the evils,

insignificant, and full of party spirit. I propose the order

For the honour of France, and for the sake of the cha-i

the Council of Ministers, that an inquiry might be
instituted. This proposition excited great agitation in
the Chamber. Several Member spoke amidst the con-
lotion, sad the motion was at length put to the vote
and negatived by a feeble majority. They then passed to

the subject of debate in the previous sitting of Thorns
