• hoot being knows on Moseley that the Refuge for
n 111 Illessseless hate been opened for the shelter of those
~who bad sot the mass of procuring.* lodging, few
presoaked thessehes for semi/sista at the Workhouse.
▪ tea Totesday, however, placards, aansuocing that the
* Institation bad commenced operations, were posted up
• is eacious parts of the metropolis, and in the evening
• ed wretched individuals, prineipally labouring men,
. Who were prereated from working daring the continu-
es'se of the frost, were admitted. At the sitting of
the Home Committee, Mrs. (lould tad Mr. Gould, and
Mr. Aston, were appointed to join the internal Com-
niche, Messrs. Bodkia-and Hick, together with Mr.
Campbell, the Chairman, and the gentlemen on the
. sightly rota for attending to the Admission of the
homestiess, were appointed Managers of the internal
rogithittotts in the house.
It was resolved by the Committee, that a respectful
application should be made to the Lord Ma}or, for the
amiantus of the City Police, in furtherance of the be-
ne...oleat purposes of the institution. We are inform-
er', that his Lordship has, returned a favourable an-
swer to the application, sod has signified his intention
to make anme immediate arrangements upon the sub-
ject.
The Ladies of the Guardian and other provisional
. protective societies, sent a tender of their services as
a Ladies Committee, to superintend the arrangements
of eke female wards. The assistance rendered by this
Casmdittee last winter was untied to be of the highest
kmenehasce, and the improvement which they effected
is 105 women and 45 children, which were placed un-
der their charge. As there hive been yet no females
amongst those who have already entered the asylum,
the Committee did not think the formation of a Ladies'
Committee at present necessary.
. Two Members of the Committee, Mr. Gould and Mr.
Acton, perambulated the city onTseaday night, and
liiited the shambles of Newgate, Leadenhall, and
• I Markets, which are the general resort of the
wretched in the metropolis daring inclement seasons,
they...ere found now almost deserted. The ;knees
of Lestlesobritip were also head without tenants.
The numerous gangs of wretched girls who formerly
infested Bishopegate-street, and who, after selling
mambos in the street during the day, made their pil-
lows of the stones in the night, were nut to be found.
'lb. Gentlemen of the Committee were particularly
struck at the absence of all seafaring men, not one of
mhos could they dud in the streets. The benefits of
a geseral refuge for the bouseless are strongly illus-
trated is a ease which occurred on Monday night,
Lear London-bridge. A poor man, who had been
siriverto town from the country, in search of employ,
had been wandering about the streets, and towards
• : dusk app'ied for shelter and relief at the watch-house.

tisk of hunger or cold. A deaf car was turned to the
eappheation of the unfortunate man, who declared,
thet salsas he obtained a lodging that night. he mrst
perish is the streets; to prevent this he went and stole
a pier" of beef from a shop in Crooked-lane, and by
that means the gentlemen of the Commifte became in-
formed of the circumstances, and the man obtained his
object,

After a speech from the Captain, who said that these

quisition. It was then put to a show of bands whe-

MEETII►Gi OF THE QUEENS FRIENDS AT
APPLEDURE, LoiSI'UNSHIRE.

We make no apology for the insertion of the Meet-
ing of the Queen's Friends, as we are satisfied the
noble sentiments and very appropriate toasts will be
read with the greatest pleasure and satisfactluti.
Since the ever tnemorable I ntry of the illustrious
Bbrington in this ton u, sae hose not witnessed so
glorious a day as yesterday se'nnight, when we cele-
brated the triumph of the Queen over a disgraceful
subornation procured under the odious Milan Commis-
sion. After the cloth was removed, the following
toasts were given by the Chairman, Thonsere Hogg,
Nog. s-ri• 'Eke King.--'rod may he never forget - that
the Crown is held in trust for the benefit of the
people."—" The Queen :a speedy establishment to
the Queen's rights and the people's liberties—with
three times aree.' —" England's balance v ith the
Boroughmongers for the 141:1 of l'ains and Penaltir.,—
, her Bill of Rights and Liberties."—" Tl:c Liberty
of the Press, our beacon and pilot." The ilidirman
said he would now prJpgr,e the health of an individnal
than whom there is none more respe,:ted, and who
insist be loved and respected wherever he is known—
'
" Earl Forte-cite ; and way lie lung continue to admit
the British Senate." This toast was received VI NI loud
'cheering: as soon as silence could be obtained the
! following toast w.:16-4stuposeil :—" The Devonshire
Nobles, Karl Cara:inert, Earl Morley, and Lord King,
who with such effect opposed the unconstitutional
Bill of Pains and Penalties." After which the Chair-
man observed, to emancipate the slave—to found an
altar in the grave of the Inquisition, to annihilAte the
trimly of Spain, Portugal, and Nairles, which has
been the indelible disgrace of Christianity and of Eu-
rope, mast meet the argent approbation of every one
present; I beg to propose. " Mav the mighty Lienins
of Liberty, with Spanish wings, i'ortitguese feet, and
Neapolitan arms, rapidly visit the whole South of. Eu-
rope, every where diffusing heroism, happiness, and
1 repose." The Chairman would now propose a
toast, which he was sure would excite the must
lively sensations in the minds of all present—ene who,
in his Parlianietitzry career, had acted congenial to
our wishes—one who would never have requested the
assent of her ,Majesty to the erasure of her name in
i the Liturgy, thus insulting his Queen and his lied--
o.Load Viscount Etaington." After the acclaniniation
subsided, a most excellent song, in compliment to
our late highly esteemed Representative, was sang in
excellent style---" The lion. Newton Fellowes, and
the Independent Yeoinaury of the county of Devon."
As civil liberty, said the Chairman, is of intrinsic
value, and of indispensible obligation ; not local or
temporary, but universal and eternal ; not dependant
on power, bat the guide of all power, we will drink
" Civil Liberty all saver the world."--" The Apostle of
Liberty, as of Religion, Archdeacon Bathurst." I
hail this victory of the Queen as the day-star of political
liberty which lead us to a reform in Parliaineut—to the
purgation of the rotten boroughs—and to make the
House of Commons the real representation of the people
—the only means of security for an oppressed people
and a persecuted Queen. "As the persecuted Queen
and the oppressed people can only have security in a
free national representation, may a resistless public
voice command a Parliamentary Reform, according
to the Constitution." The bealths of the following
gentlemen were then drank:—" Thomas Thorp, Esq.
the patriotic Lord Mayor of Loaden." " Mat-
thew Wood, E:q. the steady supporter of his Queen"
" Henry Brougham, Esq. the able advocate of the
Queen." " The Chairman, Thomas tlogg, Bag. the
\constant supporter of the people's eights, and the
friend of constitutional reform," was most loudly
cheered.
We regret the limits of oar paper trill am permit

abundance.

a translation :
Ferdinand 1. by the grace of God, &c. &c. &c.
To my faithful Derides of the Parliament—Your
decksion of the date of ,the Bth instant, bears, among
other thing, that the Parliament has not the faculty
of committing to sly departure, If not in so far as it
Should be directed to support the Constitution of Spain,
which film been sworn to in common.
With respect to that 1 iodate, that sty intervention
at thmCorgteemof LINA has no other object than
that to support the Constitution of Spain sworn to in
common. and our social compact, and to subjoin, ac-
cordiag to the manifestations made to me by you with
the message of the 9th instant, that flitch is the decided
and-imaulnons will of my people, If ray message of
the 7th instant has received any other interpretation,
I shish 1 havcretneved every thing equivocal by ntyl
other message of the Bth.
According to that, my declaration, 1 desire that the
Parliament may decide, in positive terms, if it assent
to my intervention at the Congress of Laybach, to the
end to sustain in the general will of the nation by the
Constitotion which has been adopted. and at the same
time to remove the threats of w-tr.
In case of the affirmative, I desire that the Parlia-
ment will show it by the confirmation of the Vicar-
Generalship in the person of my most beloved son:.
the Duke of the Calabrias, proposed to it by me.
The Parliament, placing in me a confidence which,
by the favour of God, 1 will justify, has not thoogitt
it necessary to select four persons to accompany me.
On that point I must say, that I did and do still de-
sire such an accompaniment, because I have like' and
do like to profit by their information. If, after this
explanation, the Parliament should think such a mea-
sate necet.sary. I cannot be otherwise than content
with it. Ido not, however, intend to exact tas a
condition of my intervention at the Congress.
And finally, on the reflection that the Sovereigns
ueettibted at Laybach expect a speedy answer, I de-
sire that the Parliatnent will speedily decide on the af-
fairs set forth above.

Message to Parliament of the Stl.. You will perceive
that the Ministry was changed by a Decree of the

The Parliament voted an Address to the King to
which is to be presented by a Deputation of 111
of the Deputies, sanctioning his Majesty's departure
ler the Congress at Laylmch. since he swears to have
no ether motive than to maintain the present Constlto-
lion. The Duke of Calabria, the Vicar-Diners!, is
named Regent while his Majesty is absent : and with
respect to his Majesty's desire to have four members
of the Parliament to accompany him to the Congress,
the Address assures the King of the imdicit faith of
the Parliament in the King's oath to defend the
Spanish Constitution here established, and declines
sending any persons with his Majesty as advisers.
His Majesty goes towards the end of the week, and 1
il am told, will go by am, as far as Leghorn. The

TUCR•DIT IiVLIVING, JANUAR! 4, 1021.

This morning twenty Irish mails arrived; rigit.
from Waterford, as many from Donagbadee, and four
from Dublin ; a number, we notice, u a circamstance
of rare occurrence. The intelligence received by those

from Dublin is also of a singular character. It brings
us an account of the proceedings of the County Meet,
ing held, according to appointment, at Dublin, on
Saturday last, of a Meeetting, called st the requisition
of a numerous and weighty body of courtly person-
ages, whose names we gave in one of our former
papers, fu; the purpose of proposing a loyal addrrw
to the KING ; of a meeting legally convened and cot,
ducted, yet suddenly dissolved, as wen as oppeaitias
to the objects of the courtly Addressers was perceived;
and not only dissolved in an arbitrary meaner, but
'actually dispersed by military force. It basin bees
'known that on this occasion an effort would be made
to pass off a servile Address of exclusive loyalty, as
the sentiments of the ISlobili:y, Clergy, and Freeholders.
of the County of Dublin, a meeting of the friends of
Constitutional liberty, wee held a day or two Wore,
to consider the means of counteracting the meditated
;attempt. At this meting a Resolution was
suggested, and carried unanimouly. that as
Address should be propose al declaratory of the or"' A
zealous, and Constitutional Loyalty of the Count' 1,1
Dublin, and expressive of the sufferings of his Ma-
jesty's faithful subjects of Ireland; and which Ad-
dress should contain eintiful suggestions to cositter,qt
the counsels of the present edvieera of his bisj ..'?•
A Committee was then appointed to prepare an Ada, 0
in the spirit of the resuluti n. and a user snake
of the independent Electors of the County were coo-
rivaled as Usti measures proposed to be pursued. Ibe
