Iso mach more of their freedom, their industry, their in-
genuity, and their generous spirit.

In another part of our columns we have noticed the
anniversary festival of that most excellent of all the
charitable Institutions of this metropolis—the Refuge
for the Destitute. Amongst the many gratifying re-
lations made by the various gentlemen more imme-
diately connected with the establishment, of cams
where the destitute and vicious had been provided for
and reformed, none excited deeper feelings in the boievo-
lent hearts of the individuals present, than the statement
of the worthy Treasurer, that the late A. BASING,
Esq. had secretly contributed the sum of lOU/. an-
Dually to the Institution, a-,.l by his will had left
630/. 3 per Conti. for the future furtherance of its ob-
jects. This is, indeed, an Institution well deserving
the attention and support of such pure philanthropy.
Well did the Right Hon. Chairman say, that in no
other could the charitably-disposed attain so much
good at so cheap a rate ; and, we will add, with-
out the possibility of doing harm. The Honorary
Secretary of the Mendicity Society paid over MI
Fairless from the funds of that Institution, for the
support of its sister establishment; &Hedging, as a
reason, that the Botrd of Management belonging to
the MoutROIR? So‘irty, had always found something
incomplete in their own system until they had re-
course to the Refuge for the Destitute. The health
of the Rev. R. Crosby, the Secretary, was drank
with every mark of respect, and ample justice done to
his indefatigable exertions in favour of the Institution.
He is not lees to be admired u an exemplary Minister
of the Christian religion, than as a man performing
its must d dutics--those of charity.

COURT OF KING'S BENCll.—(Tais Air.)
The Court was much crowded this morning in eon-
-1141101101 of Mr. Hunt's motion for a new trial, being]
appointed to be taken this day.
After the Conn bad disposed of the causes on the
special paper. the King e. Hunt and others, was called

upon.
Mr. HUNT immediately arose, and stated to their
Lordships, that in addition to the grounds of ol-
jection which be had before urged, he now wished to
state smother. This was, that the evidence of the in-
scriptions on the flags oefht not to have been received.
He referred Mr. Justice Bayley to that part of Mor-
ton's evidence where it was to be found.
Mr. Justice BAT LET, after searching some time, said
that he could not find it.
Mr. Hunt.—lt is here, my Lord, in Mr. Dowling's

report.
Mr. Justice BATIAT.--1 can refer to nobody's notes
but my own.

Ltat:TaPIANTCT oror ISILAITD.—Ii is with much plea-
sure we learn, that his Royal Highness the Duke of
Sussex is confidently spoken of, in high political
circles, as the personage most likely to succeed Lord
Talb.,t, as Viceroy of Ireland. No appointment could
be so gratifying to the people of this country, who
have been long anxious to sec a Member of the Royal
Family at the head of the Irish Government. Totally
distinct from political views and party politics, the
measure would be hailed with inexpressible satisfac-
tion throughout the island, and we need scarcely add,
that such a Court as his Royal Highness would esta-
blish, must confer great benefits on the city of Dublin,
now running fast to decay, deserted, as it is, by the
Nobility and Gentry, who formerly gave spirit and
support to its trade and institutions. The Court of his
Royal i•ighness would induce the return of many ab-
sentees from Ragland and the Continent.--(Doalia

lative to the Lord Mayor's eleeti..n were in attendaseo,'
Mr. John Sealy Townsend, on the part of Alderman

on the part of Aldermen West, were both istrodaind,
whets, we understand, they were informed tbM din
question at issue depended on a point of law, only St
to be decided in the Court of King's Beach ; but this
if the Privy Council should determine to hear Connell
on the occasion, the hearing would take place oa
Saturday next at three o'clork.—(Dublie Bees. Post.)
The mission of Lord Clanwilliam to Rome has gives
rise to various speculations, for, from his official situa-
tion, and the interviews, it is staid, he had whilst there,
with the Ministers of the Sovereign Pontiff, many pea-
pie imagine he was sent out to make some arrange-
ments with the Pope respecting the Catholic question.
From the Jamaica Papers received yesterday :
By the last accounts received at Santa Marof ftha, it
appeared that Bolivar, with a supposed force rom
8 to 10,000 men, was marching to Calaboso, which is
the entrance towards the Cancels% by the way of St.
Fernado de Apure, with the intention of attacking
Morino, who was thought to have leo n 4 to MINI
men, the greatest part Europeans. Bolivar beemen,
from I to 4,000 English troops altogether; JIMA
800 of them are with him ; they do not Mal

confidently believed that Bolivar's aisa is tbe occ

tion of the city of Caraccas ; after witich, be

entertained great hopes of defeating him, provided he
received no reinforremtrots from Spain. Bolivar's
