great applause.
Mr. Lanett atldrossed the meeting with much anima-
tion and humour in furtherance of its views. A Scots-

machinery might fail, anti it womb! be hard indeed if,
in ease of shipwreck, 4000 of their fellow conntrymen,
with the First Lord of the Admiralty at their head, did
not come to their relief.—(Applause.)
A great variety of appropriate songs and glees were
snug by the Professional Oentletnen iu attendance, and
in the course of the-evening a Highland Piper, .clad in
the full costume of his country, marched through the
room, and played several Scots melodies with much
brilliancy and effect.
' Among the entertainments of the evening may be
mentioned the Grand Union Violincello, which was
played upon by a performer from.Dunder, who is entirely
destitute of sight. Ife made use of his feet in order to
elicit notes front a bass viol, while he played the violin
with his hands, and uyon the Pandean pipes with his
mouth. This extraordinary performer exhibited to a re-
markable extent, the results of incluetry and ingenuity,
although deprived of the neost valuable of the senses.
About half-past ten o'clpuk Lord Melville left the
Chair, which was afterwards taken by one of the gende-
men present ; and the evening was spent in the highest
cordiality.

pany assembled at the house of Mr. Ramsay, the
Angel, Broad-street, St. Giles.'s. At five ,'cluck a
very excellent dinner provided for the occasion, was

On the liberality of the worthy loo)t. On the cloth

Waring, fee. delighted the company with some excel-
lent songs, 'which were loudly applauded. Uninter-
'opted harmony prevailed during the evening, and
She company departed highly gratified with the enter-
tainment afforded them.

The genuine Speech of stigand, Archbishop of Can-
terbury, at the head of the Men of Kent, to William
the Norman connnerer :
" You are aecosted, I Ilestrions General, by the Men of
Kent, who are ready to submit to your !love-mascot, pro-
vided you will make proper concessions to their most
equitable demands, being such sort of men as are deter-
mined to retain that liberty they have received from
their ancestors, together with the taws and customs of
their country ; neither will they be reduced to a state
of servitude which they never experienced ; or melon
a new legislature, for they can bear a reAal but not a
tyrannical authority. .With their liberty, therefore, un-
assailed, their ancient lows and customs reserved to
tbalirreeelve the Men of Kent, not as a parcel of slaves,
but lishjectsattriehed to you in loyalty and love. But if
bou attempt to deprive them of their freedom, and the
ansmsity of their laws, you will deprive them of their
livis also : for they had rather engage with you in de-
termined battle, and fall ender certain enemies, than in
seaport of Justice sender certain laws. Nor though the
rest of the Ktigrrsh can suffer slavery, to be free le the
rtine" of the Men of Kent. Four thinr should never
m—fstuiliaritv with Princes—the caresses of wa-
llies—time smiles of our ettemies—nor a warm day in
winter; fbr these things are not of long duration. The
body is a case wherein the soul is put, like a sword in a
,lealibard; it is the sword you should value, not the
scabbard."

The sickness at Shepherdstown (Virginia) exceeds.
every thing ever known in that place within the me-
mory of the oldest inhabitants. On the 3d Oct. it .
was believed that there was not less than three hen-
deed persons affected with the prevailing disease.--
There is scarely a family that has escaped, and in many
families there is not one well enough to attend the
sick. The common disease is the Ague and Fever. At
Harper's Ferry the disease had not sensibly abated.
and at Rig Lick on the Ist inst. it continued to spread.

The New York Convention, bas, after a long debate,
decided by a vote of 62 to b 9, to extend the right of
suffrage to free people of culotte. This decision
censured in one of the New York papers, and the
Philadelphia papers think the question will be referred,
and the decision reversed.

Among the many rumours connected with the raising
20,000 Militia for the s: recce of this country, it is
said that Ministers are calling out this force, in order
to be enabled to seed off the standing army to irelar.l.
Out of the [leasehold troops alone there could be
