Mr. Eddowes, Shrewsbury, HAS JUST RECEIVED A VALUABLE SUPPLY ripHE MOST PROLIFIC DISCO- a. VERY that really prevents the Hair fulling offor turning- Grev, and produces o thick Growth on Bald Places, is ROWLANDS MACASSAR OIL. This Oil,' composed of Vegetable Ingredients from the Island of Macassar in the East, is the first Pro- duction of the Age, and is now in such universal Use, and its-. invaluable Properties so highly and justly appreciated, not only by the discerning Popu- lation of this our enlightened Country, hut by the Patronage of Royalty throughout the Whole of the Civilized Universe. It is the most important Specific for the Growth and Preservation of 1 rher Human Hair hitherto invented. It restores in Redundancy the Tresses ravaged from the head of Beauty by Fever, Anxiety, or Accouchement ; and in all Cases, from whatsoever Cause arising, where this graceful Orna- ment falls into Decay, operates as an infallible Specific. Iu short, to detail its manifold Virtues and enumerate the Testimonials of its proved Superiority over all other Preparations professing similar Re- sults, would fill the Paj* es of a Volume! Experience better than Description wiil confirm the Facts stated beyond the Power of Envy, Detraction, or ' Incre- dulity, lo invalidate. These are the usual Assailants of meritorious Discovery, but ROWLAND'S MA- CASSAR OIL firmly sustains its Portion of exalted Fame, and it is only necessary to guard the Public against unprincipled Venders, who, conscious of the Impossibility of fair Rivalship, resort to Fraud, and obtrude on the tJnwarv a surreptitious Article of injurious Tendency ns the real MACASSAR OIL, whereas the GENUINE is sold enclosed in a little Book., inside the Wrapper, signed on the outside in Red, " A. Rowland ^ Sou." The Prices are 3s. 6d. 7s. 10s. 6d. and 21s. per Bottle. All other Prices are Impositions.— IMie Genuine . has ihe Address on the Label, u No. 20, Hatton- garden, 1' Also, RED WHISKERS.

EDDOWES, Shrewsbury, and by all Perfumers and Medicine Venders. The Cordial Balm of Gilead IS universally acknowledged to be a most agreeable and powerful Restorative in all Nervous Disorders, This celebrated Cordial is pe- culiarly efficacious iu all inward Wastings, Loss of Appetite, Indigestion, Depression of Spirits, Trem- bling or Shaking of the Hands or Limbs, Shortness of Breath, and Consumptive Habits ; eases the most violent Pains in the Head and Stomach, and promotes gentle Perspiration. By the Nobility and Gentry this Medicine is much admired, being pleasant to the Taste and Smell, gently astringing the Fibres of the Stomach, and giving that proper Tensity which a good Digestion requires. Nothing' can be better adapted to assist the Constitution which has been much injured by Debauch with Wine, & c. Much has been said by iutefasted Individuals against Medicines that are advertised, but there is a very important Observation to be made respecting the Cordial Balm of Gilead, that unless its Operation was gentle, safe, and efficacious in those Complaints for which it is recommended, it could not have obtained the unexampled Demand il has acquired. Sold by W. and J. EDDOWES, Shrewsbury, and all respectable Medicine Venders, in Buttles, Price: lis. each, or four in one Family Bottle for 33s. by which one lis. Bottle is saved, with the Words " Saml. Solomon, Liverpoolengraved on the Stamp. Patients desiring Advice, may have it by inclosing a £ 1 Note with their Cases, addressed to Gilead House, near Liverpool, and paying double Postage Imposture Unmasked. THE progress of MERIT, although frequently assailed, is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object— public approbation. The test of experi- ence is the guarantee of favor, and has established WARREN'S BLACKING in ge- neral estimation ; of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknow- ledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious preparation as the genuine article, to the great disappointment of the unguarded purchaser, and manifest injury of WARREN, whose character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes there- fore an indispensable duty to CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the manoeuvres of UNPRINCIPLED VENDERS, who having no character to lose, and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honor! The original and matchless BLACKING bears on each bottle a short direction, with the signature ron, near At the Black Linn Inn.- Mold, iu the County of Flint, on Tuesday, the 27th Day of July next, nt 5 o'Clock in the Afternoon ( subject to Conditions which will he then produced) : beautiful and com par; ESTATE, ! » . called FRON, comprising about Ninety- Five Statute Acres, with a large and substantial MAN- SION', Coacb- llonse, Stables, and other Offices, now in the Possession of Mrs. Stringer. — Also, a FARM- HOUSE and Buildings adjoining, occupied hy her Tenant, and seveial COTTAGES. 7' lie Mansion stands upon an Eminence, over- looking the delightful VALE OF MOLD, aud com- manding most extensive Views beyond it, highly diversified and agreeable, and the Grounds are ornamented with much fine Timber. In Ibe Town of Mold there are weekly Markets, well supplied, and there is also a daily Post to and from all Parts of tbe Kingdom. Coal and Lime are plentiful in the immediate Neighbourhood, atld it is confidently believed that this Property contains within itself most valuable Strata of Lead Ore, connected with the great Work now carrying on upon Mold Mount- tain, from which it. is separated only by the Mold and Ruthin Turnpike Road. The Mineral in the Fron Property has already been sufficiently proved to encourage the most sanguine Expectations of its great Importance. FHON is situated about a Mile South of Mold, 8 Miles from Ruthin, 13 from Chester, and 1- 2 from Wrexham, and has Three Pews belonging to it in i Mold Parish Church.

TQWERS'S TONIC PILLS INVALUABLE REMEDY WEAKNESS in the STOMACH fT is a fact worthy of the most serious attention, that Ihe disorders termed BILI- OUS and ER vous, with their train of distress- ing symptoms ( such as Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Nausea, Pains, and Irregularity of the Bowels), owe their origin, generally, to a weuli and deranged slate of the digestive organs. Giddiness also, and Faintness or Diz- ziness, and other sensations which seem to threaten an attack of Paisy or of Apoplexs are not uncommon results from the same cause. The remedy required is one that shall gently relax the howels, and gradually re- store the tone uf Ihe stomach, and TOWEIlS's TONIC PILLS are confidently recommended. They are the result of serious investigation, and long . experience in medicine; anil the unequivocal approbation of medical men, and others of undoubted eminence, with the great request they are in with tbe public, are proofs decisive of their real utility, and of the high estimation in wfcich they are held.

It is earnestly recom- mended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base fabrications of WAR- HEN'S BLACKING, to return the detected trash to the source from whence it came, and expose the machinations of rascality to merited obloquy. WARREN'S BLACKING is sur- passingly brilliant;— it excludes damp; gives pliancy to the leather; retains its pristine virtue in all climates ; and, com- bining elegance with comfort, is tin article equally of indispensable fashion and utility.

' that Road, the public will learn with alarm, is sadly infested — not with Highwaymen it is true, but by enemies equally bard and insensible to any sufferings they may occasion— not by. Highwaymen, hut by inrtnense Stones, placed on tbe Road with such apparently studied disorder, that the Traveller blessed with tbe light of day must be alert to guide his Horse in the various turns and twisting'S necessary to avoid danger;— while at night ( such is the size of the Stones) the Springs' of every Carriage, the Kates of every Horse, and the neck of every rider whose luckless destiny leads him that, Way, is in jeopardy .— Had this been the work of. thoughtless hoys, I should say the deserve the whipping- post • but. what punishment the man in Office1 deserves for such outrageous disregard of the safety of; his Majesty's liege subjects, shall be learnt from higher authority, if the causc of complaint be not removed.

ALARMING FIRE AT BRISTOL— About twelve o'clock on Friday night, a volume of flame and smoke was observed issuing from the lower part of a house, near the bottom of Clare- street, Bristql, occupied hy Mr. Essex, bookseller: and so rapid was the progress of the devouring element, that in less than fifteen miuiutes the whole house was in a blaze. Serious apprehensions were entertained that the flames would extend to the premises of Mr. Tucketty grocer, ou oue side, and those of Mr. Underwood, ironmonger, on the other; but although they must have sustained considerable injury, the efforts of the firemen proved ultimately effectual it) confining the lire to the premises of Mr. Essex, which, with all their contents, were totally de- stroyed. The warehouse of Mr. Underwood, ou the " Quay, behind his shop in Clare- street, and the Mercury Printing- office ( situated behind the pre- mises of Mr, Essex), were repeatedly ou fire: VALUABLE WATER COUN MILL, SEE. _ To be Sold by Private Contract, ALL that newly- erected MESSUAGE or Tenement, Water Corn Grist and Sack Flour MILL, containing two Pair of French Stones and one Ditto of Derby, and capable of working to a great Extent, having a constant Supply of Water, w ith a good Garden, and Three Acres of excellent Meadow LAND adjoining, situate near ALL STRETTQN, in the County of Salop, in the Hold- ing of Thomas Glover. The House and Mill are in conipleat Repair, the Mill has a large Connection in the Batch Business, and is one of the best Situations in the County of Salop, being about Midway between the excellent Market Towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow, and Much Wenlock and Bishop's Castle, having excellent Roads to each of those Towns.— Particulars may be had on Applica- tion to Mr. WILLIAMS, Solicitor, Market Place, Shrewsbury, who is authorized to treat for the same. to record the loss, on the morning of Friday se'nniglit, of the brig Fortitude, of Swansea, together with Capt. Cuudy. bis wife, twq children, servant girl, and tile whole ofthe erew, making in number ten persons who have unfor- tunately perished! The Fortitude, iu company with several other vessels, sailed from Newport ( Monmouth- shire) for Waterford, on the preceding day; and, late ii the evening, the wind having veered to the westward, and blowing' hard, she endeavoured to make for Pehartli Roads, but in the attempt ran on those dangerous shoals, called the Nass Sands. At lour o'clock, she was observed from the land, without a single person on board, the sea breaking over her in a tremendous manner, and by seven nothing wits to he seen save the floating wreck.— The body of Mrs. Cuudv, and those of one of her children and servant girl were washed on shore shortly after the melancholy event; but those of the remaining unfortunate sufferers have not yet- been found. It is with abhorrence we have to add, that when the body of Mrs. C. was ' recognized by her brother, ( from Swansea,) it was ascertained that her pockets had been cut off, and that her ring had been taken off her finder ! Her ear- rings, however, being covered by her dis- ordered hair, escaped the observation of these diabolical wretches. We hope and trust, that the means using to find thein out, will prove successful. FALSE IMPRISONMENT— An occurrence of a most, extraordinary character took place in Chester, during tiie last week. Early in the morning of the first fair day, a man of the name of Bird, of Dunlia. ni Massey, in that county, on walking through the fair, fixed upon a horse which, was shewing among many others by David Jones of Nautfach, and insisted that it had been stolen from him on the prec of tile ar. superintendant ot' police, who seized the horse, and took Jones into custody, whom he lodged in the house of cor- rection, until lie could be examined hy the county magis- trates. On a hearing before them, Bird positively swore to the facts above noted: and notwithstanding that several most respectable individuals attended on behalf of Jones, who knew him as an individual of irreproachable character, and who would have given bail for him to any amount, he was fully committed to the county gaol for trial. Con- scious of his innocence, Jones immediately dispatched messengers to the place and neighbourhood of liis resi- dence • and inti mat ion being given to the magistrates, that he was prepared satisfactorily toprove the falseness ofthe charge, they assembled'again at the Clerk of the Peace's office oil Saturday, when such a body of evidence was pro- duced against the facts deposed to by Bird, as t. 0 induce the magistrates to annul the commitment, and set the in- nocently accused at large. Upon this otjeasion W. LI. Caldeeott, Esq. late High'Slletiff of Carnarvonshire, attend ed, and swore to his having sold the disputed horse to Jones; it was also; proved, that on tile preceding week, the horse had been shod at Pwllheli; and in the most satis- factory manner it was like'- vise shewn that Jones, at the time of the alleged theft, was in a different part of the country. Indeed so complete was the chain of evidence in favour of his entire innocence, that an universal sympathy was expressed for the injury he had sustained in this mysterious business. Whether any, or what ulterior pro. 11'.^" s tiny be decided upon we know not, but certainly vlr. Jones returns to his respectable sphere of society with- out the shadow of imputation upon his character.. MARKET HEUALD. SHREWSBURY.

ALLNATT, Esq. seconded by Mr. WILLIAM HARLEY, JONATHAN PERSY, Esq. was unanimously called lo the Chair. The Chairman then stated, that in consequence of receiving a requisition signed by tbe numerous respectable individuals whose names had appeared to it in the advertisements, himself and four other Directors had called the present meeting.— Mr. Perry then read tbe requisition, and, at the request ofthe Rev. E. Bather, also read the list of names attached to it. The.

JOSEPH SUTTON, Esq. then handed to the Chair- man a copy of the resolutions passed at a meeting of the Select Vestry of the Parish of St. Mary, on the 10th inst. which he requested might be read. Rev. J. LANGI. EY.—" We have nothing- to do with Select Vestries."—[" No ! No!", frout'several voices.] Rev. E.

Mr. DIXON.—" Tbe paper is signed by 14 out of 19 members of the Select Vestry; and, therefore, I presume it contains the sentiments of the parish." [ There was here much confusion, and cries of 1' Read ! Read !" and " No ! No'."] T| ie CHAIRMAN begged that gentlemen would ltot interrupt others in delivering their sentiments. Mr. EDGEBLEY said, as one of the members of the Select Vestry of the parish of St. Mary who voted in opposition to tiie resolutions adopted, he wished the paper might be read. Mr. WATTON said, the Protest njadc against those resolutions ought alsq to be read. Mr. STEAP said, it was customary in the House of Lords for any Peer to protest against the votes of { bat llause, though even passed in the absence of the protesting: parties, and he thought the pa- rishioners of St. Mary had au equal right tn protest against the resolutions of their Select Vestry. The' Rev. E. BATIIPR said that be was no great under their special notice, it does not, therefore, follow that it is unintelligible, from first to last, Or useless to a!,! intents antl purposes. If the Act be useless, it is time to Consider of its repeal; but before I Consent to petition for tiie repeal of it, 1 shall look to have that matter proved.— The Resolu- tion says next, " Tlie experience of forty years having proved' the impossibility of obtaining- the objects proposed in the preamble of the said Act.' —" But, Sir, this also is lint assertion. This meet- ing has not been informed wliltt ' nre tlie faults of our present system. For any thing that is before us how, the whole fault inay'. Tilive been iu the Di- rectors. I do nol say; ntir do Lflliiitk, that it is so ; hut, though the giiutleiuuu- vylio lias proposed the resolution may know- that alii rge party completely coincide with linn in his views of tile. propriety of sweeping away at once,.- with all its'- appendages, the noble edifice which now covers us, J shall not as i/ et consent lo such a deed. At present I am well content with our Act of Incorporation as it stands. [ Cries of " Yes,- no rlou. t> t " and much laughter, with prolonged interruption and hissings.] — Gentlemen, now that it is your pleasure to pause a little, I shaihtake leave, to express my thankful- ness that Providence has furnished ine with exceed- ing good lungs, and since I do conceive that 1 have perfect right,. to be heard'in this assembly, I do trust to. make myself heard, though I should be assailed by the united hissings of any flock of geese in your united parishes. [ Laughter, and [ more hissings.] Gentlemen, it is not my intention 1 to be put down in ibis way.' Oil my own account I covet tittle to address' you : for myself ! feel ho vast interest in tbe question, and less in what may he the resolution of this meeting respecting it : fori have mv reasons for thinking- that it mutters no great deal. But I eotne forward on the behalf of a parish of sensible men indeed, b'tit of men unaccustomed to open their mouths at public meetings. I know that they expect it of me'to say what I can ; and if they do, I have so much respect aud regard for them that 1 certainly shall- not fail them. - What I was about to say, however, was this :— The gentle- man who moved the resolution should have conde- scended not only tohave pointed out to the ignorant among us the special evils of our existing system"; he should have told us also how we were to provide better for our poor when that system should be done away with. Our fathers who obtained the present Act are blamed for want of foresight. Before we undo their work, aild pull d. twn their house, we should have the foresight lo consider thai another house will be wanted wherein to put our heads. Certainly funds must be provided for the mainte- nance, antl houses for tbe reception, of our impotent poor; and I . should like- to know where the money is to come from lo build six new houses of industry, or, if that term must be discontinued , six new work- houses, when Ihe house we have shall be demolish- ed. I should much like to know who is to pay for our new Act of Parliament ; and I would have il considered yyhat a glorious stir there is lij^ e to he among the parishes, and what rare work for the gentlemen of the law, when our present union shall he dissolved : for our,' predecessors, thinking this union would last for ever," liave perhaps taken iiitle Mr. HAULEY.—" It has he, en asserted- by Mr. Walton that this is an adjournment from a meeting held six years ago. Since that period the rate of St. Chad's parish has been reduced oue. half; and when it is reeoJIeeW, that in I, lie year 17S1, the year prei ious to the. Act being- pnssed, vtKe rate of St. Chad's parish was 5s. 6d. in the potiiul, and it is now, but 5s. I think this assembly will hardly be so rash, so wild, as. to dissolve an establishment which, with nil its evils ( for I admit it has evils that want reformation), h; is been productive of great advantages to the united parishes,• lor I cull prove that tliev have reaped great benefit's from it ; and I shall propose, as an amendment, that a Com- mittee of seven persons he " appointed lo examine thoroughly into the state of the Mouse aiut all its affairs, and report the same to, the several parishes," Mr, T. HOWELL.—" B^ OFE MR Hnrley's anieiid. rnent is put, I beg leave to'ask whether it has any thing to. do with the ques. tioji for whii- h this meeting has been convened ?" Mr,. Hurley's amendment, was not pressed. Tbe CHAIRMAN, put the . question severally oil Mr. Bather's aihendmen}, and on Mr Ttitloi's'reso- .1 utions, when the lal. te. i- were carried by a very great majority ( perhaps tj to" 1). * . On the motion -' of P « ICS WAT. KIS, Esq. seconded by JOHN SPKARRIAN,, Esq. a resolution was sub- milted to the meeting- for tlie, formation, of a Com- mittee to give effect tn the resolution proposed by Mr. Tudor; aud which had been carried, Tiie resolution now proposed was for empowering the Committee to sell the House, to nssiglf the paupers severally to their respective parishes, and. to do a variety of Acts in fulfilment of the resolution viotislv adopted. C. B. ALI. NATT, fesq —" Mr Chairman, I. beg to submit whether this meeting can giye such powers to any persons as those recited in the resolution now moved." ' fhe CHAIRMAN " Sir, I conceive it cannot..' Mr. WATTON then read a passage from Mr. Isaac, Wood's pamphlet relative to the Shrewsbury House of Industry,— viz. " And if there should be a considerable difference in the average payments of the different parishes united in the undertaking, such a measure might operate more for the relief of one parish than ofthe rest; and this would open a door to jealousies, and introduce that disunion and dis- cord, wliich would give a fatal stab to lb. prosperity aud success," 1 VJf' agai. nst - tliem.-—. Mr. fUzjL « ni « S seconded the motion. The Rev. E. BATHER said, as the motion is in fact, a plea of mercy, it is with very great reluctance I oppose it: I do not wish the prosecution of these men to become a persecution : but there is another party to whom justice and nu iey are eminently due — I uiean; the public, that public who have done us no wrong. What the opinion o. f the Judge is as to the matter is very clear ; and I think if justice is done to the public, let the result be. what it mav, • the guilty parties cannot consider themselves hard'ly ' dealt- with. As a clergyman it is very painful to me to make these observations ; but I'have read a book which instructs ine to go through evil report us well as good report, if censure should await n: V remarks; and I dirthink the Guardians themselves will be hardly used, if a few oYthem, at the end of a meeting, and, without any uoHce, should attemnt to take this important matter out of the hands of ihe Directors. It, will be much better to leave the resolution alone, and to let the matter go forth as a report, that some thought it would be better to continue the prosecution, and that others were, of ft different opinion. ~ Mr. ED'GERI. KY asked i\ J, r. Cooper what would be tl| e expenses already incurred— Mr. COOPER sai'l about £ 350, of which siiul Ihe united parishes wutild have to pay about £ 150, and the County the remainder. Mr, EOGEHLEV'S resolution was put and. carried, by a majority on a shew of bauds. Mr. CLEMENT then moved that the thanks of this meeting be given to the Directors ;' and especially to cine of their body, naniel. v, Mr. Watton, for his zeal and indefatigable exertions in the cause of the United Parishes.- The Rev J, LANGLEY seconded the motion.— The Rev. E. BATHER said, he did not know Why, at the very tail of the meeting, and when so few persons were left, such a singular resolution as this, by which one of the Directors was to be so much distinguished'from his fellows, should be brought forward ; but perhaps the matter could be explained.— Here it was discovered that the meeting was without a Chairman — The Rev. E. BATHER consented to take llie. Chair ; the reso- lution was passed unanimously ; and the rem . ining Guardians dispersed.

House, but it was not allowed tlieni. He, however ( Mr. B.), had not the least desire to oppose the reading of the protest upon the present occasion. Mr. DtXflJ.-" No protest was made vyliile the Select Vestry was assembled.'-' The resolutions of the Select Vestry were then read by the Chairman, as follows : — " St. Mrnj's Vestry Room. lOl/ l July, 1824. " At a meeting- of the Select Vestry, held in the Vestry Room this morning, it was Resolved, that, viewing the increase of pauperism wliich has arisen to this parish, in consequence of a large number of paupers haying- been settled in it. belonging to the other five parijhe. s incOr pointed with it, aud from other cause?, this Meeting, pledges itself to resist any alteration in the present Averages, or tile immediate abolition of the Act of Parlia- ment by which the six united parishes are incorporated. " Resolved, That Mr. StlTTON, Mr. DAVIES, and Mr. I> IXON present a copy of the above resolution at tile 11 mee: of Industry, on Monday next." The CHAIRMAN.—" I am a lover of fair play, aud therefore I shall now read the Protest." We, the undersigned members sf the Select Vestry of St. Mary's Parish, do individually protest against tilt? foregoing Resolutions: " lst. Because the Select Vestry are not competent to dictate to the Parish, nor to pledce the opinion of the Parishioners as to the House of Industry, the Act which constitutes Select Vestries contemplating the non- existence of consolidated Parishes, cannot therefore legally authorize the continuance of that system. " 2d. ' Because as the Committee of St. Mary's Parishion- ers especially appointed in 1818 to examine' into the ac- counts and investigate minutely the merits of the question, came to a conclusion directly opposite to that of the Reso. lotion just entered, and fully reported their opinion - at that time in favour of dissolving the House of Industry, we see no reason for rescinding or denying that Report, but, ou the contrary, we feel ourselves bouud by the consistency, the honour, iind integrity of this Parish, to confirm and support it.

SAMUEL TUDOR, Esq.—^" ^ bout si* yjpars ag- o, we were assembled ' here on a similar business to the present. The proceedings were then sus- pended, in consequence of an Act being at that time before Parliament, which, it was then thought would so operate as to render our proceedings of no effect, and the matter was let drop. During the six years since gone by? you have been robbed of hundreds, perhaps thousands. Under your present Act you cannot punish one of the miscreants who have robbed you; and do you wish to continue under such an Act ? { Cries o/ 4< < Vo ' No!" J If you consent to au equalization of the averages of the parishes, you must first have an Act to alter the present one, and you know what expense there is in such proceedings. I, therefore, beg leave to move the following resolution. 11—: See Advert. Mr. HAZLEJMNE seconded the motion. Mr. W. WILDING.— U I have been told by oue of the officers, that if he were to rob the parishes of £ 1000, they could not punish him under the present Act.? 1 The CHAIRMAN then read the resolution proposed bv Mr. Tudor. The Rev. E BATIIEH. Mr. Chairman— When I came to this Meeting I did not expect that I should have found it. necessary to address you in so early a stage of the proceedings. 1 did not come With a speech prepared : for though I knew what was to be discussed, I could have no knowledge of the arguments by which the proposed dissolution of this Incorporation was to be supported. I did, however, expect that it would have been supported by some arguments. But herein I have been mis- taken. Thr gentleman who proposed the resolution has scarcely said a word— the gentleman who seconded him has followed his example. Sir, it may probably be as clear as the sun at noon dny to these gentlemen that the Act under our consider- ation ought to he repealed ; and tbe former of tliem may have sufficient, reason to know that the large parish for which he is churchwarden think as he does. But surely it might have been expected that he should have condescc? n< Jed so far as to have reasoned tiie case u little, when it is so certain that very many persons must be present who stand need of much iiiforination before they can Jje com- petent to decide on so serious a question. 1' [ Mr. TOMMIES.—'" The preamble supports the resolution.?> J Mr. BATHER.—" I am to presume, then, that the reasons for which I am enquiring are wholly con tained in the words themselves of the resolution [ The resolution was het e handed over to Mr. Bather.] — Sir, we are here called upon to decide that the Act of the 24th of Geo. III. cap. 15, ouglit to be repealed, and that for the reasons assigned. But I must premise, upon these reasons generally, that, they are ail mere assertions. In the first place, our Act is to be repealed because certain 4 great legal authorities1 have pronounced that it is ambiguous one of them [ Here seyeral voices interrupted the Reverend Gentleman, by saying- there was no time for long speeches, and that all he was saying had been anticipated : others said, ** Speak to the point l11] " 1 am, perhaps, a very simple person, and as such can only get to my point by degrees. The more I am interrupted the longer I shall be in coining to a conclusion. [ Cries of " Very good and much laughter.'] The gentleman who states that ali I have said had been anticipated might have spoken himself, and have saved this meeting the trouble of listening to me. But I could have no foreknow- ledge that all my doubts and objections had been foreseen: nothing has actually been stated in anticipation of them ; and as I did not anticipate the wisdom ot delegating to others the delivery of my sentiments, I hope to be pardoned for delivering them myself." Mr. Bather then remarked upon the words " un- just inequality" the resolution.— ul am not going*, 1 hope, to advocate any thing unjust; but if it is meant, that at- the- cormneneeine. nt of our Incorporation any. thing unjust or fraudulent was done, I say the preamble of the resolution passes an unjust censure on the- parishes to which it alludes. If any parish, prior to the passing of this Act, gave in a false account of their expenditure, that parish committed a gross fraud indeed. But. I say no such thing was done by the parish of l\? eole. A gentleman near me has just said, there was a " fraud committed by that parish, . but that the books bv wliich the fact coiild have been proved are lost. I should like to see tiie evidence to this point. Why' was it not produced the last time that a dissolution of the Incorporation was called for? Let the fact, however, be now made out, and I trust I should sooner cut off my right hand than do any thing to abet the iniquity of my forefathers Iu the mean time, however, see how the case really stands. Six parishes consult, and sav we will have a common purse for the maintenance of our poor, and we will pay in such and such proportions. It is a sort of mutual insurance. Why, if six men agree we will, support one another in sickness out of a common purse— because one has continued in health and received nothing, has^ fife a right to get rid of his obligation towards tlK^ t^. sl ? I do not mean, how- ever, to affirm that there i. s^ rio . inequality in our case at present. I only kfHrin tlie're was iro fraud com- mitted in the outset, that, before t! ie term unjust had been applied without explanation, fraud should have been proved. 1 know that some parishes pay more than tlieir poor cost, owing to the fluctuation of population which has taken place, and that others pay less than their poor cost, and that of these Meole is one ; and soijie years ago, when the matter was debated, the parish of Meole said, we shall not. agree to alter the proportions, but we will agree to dissolve, if Parliament will let you. I do not mean to pledge the parish of Meoje to any thing ; but for any thing I know they will still, say, we will not consent to alter the proportions. Individually,, I might, perhaps, consent to dissolve if Parliament will let you. But, I ask, what can this meeting do ? < c The Guardians are incorporated to appoint Directors for superintending the concerns ol this establishment; but they have no power to dissol ve it; they are merely representatives of the rate- pavers for ihe specific purposes appointed tyv the Act, but they are not the re present at. i Ves of the rate- payers fqr any other, purpose. No Act of this meeting can be conclusive; It cannot bind the parishes to go to Parliament, nor to provide funds forgoing to Parliament, nor for any other purposes than those particular ones specified in the present Act of Incorporation. Surely the Guardians are not representatives of the parishes to dissolve or Strangle the' which gives them their existence as Guardians.' I take it that the ' Select. Vestry of St. Mary's, or the ordinary Vestry o? any of the ther parishes, are the ^ representatives of the parishioners, but aiiy resolution of a meeting of Mrl WJVTTOS said, he thought the establishment was now in the situation thus anticipated by Mr. Wood, and that the only remedy was its dissolution. Mr. EpGERLEY,—< 4' Vou have just lieard it stated, that great advantages have accrued to the united parishes from the establishment of this House, and that in the year before its Act was passed the rate of'St. Chad's parish was 5s fid.' Lut do not look at solitary ' years. The average annual poor- rate expenditure of the w hole of the six parishes for the 12 years preceding their incorporation was £ 2781. los. Sid. ; and for the 12 years la- st past it was • t'v6; K3. 12s. So much' for the advantages reaped by { he Unitpd Parishes I But to be more particular. The average annual expenditure in the parish of Meole, said to be so much' benefitted by ihe Act, was., fqr 12 years preceding the incorporation, . i'l 16. 5s. 11 id. & on an average of the last 12 years it has been £ 323. 5s. 8d. So much for the advan- tages it has reaped under the Act ! The average annual expenditure of St. Mary's parish, also said to be one ofthe favoured parishes, was, for 12years prior to the passing of tiie Act, £' 479. 8s. 5d. and on an average of the last 12 years it has been £' 133i3. 12s. and this wjth all the advantages it has derived! and I am authorized in thinking that the poor of St. Mary's parish can be maintained aud paid for a less sum than the parish novy contribates for that purpose. 1' , Mr. ALLNATT having suggesttkl the alteration of the resolution proposed by Mr. WATKIS, SO as to make it practicable, it was amended, and was now put to the meeting, aud carried by a very large majority ~ f>' ee A alert . J • " Mr. KEMPSTEU moved that Mr. J. WILLIAMS should be employed as the solicitor to the Act for repealing the Incorporation:— Mr. R. TAYLOR se- conded the motion Rev. E. BATHER With every respect for M Willi ins, J think this resolution is premature. The Committee, if it is to possess any power, must certainly possess the power of appointing their owii solicitor; fndeed there can l » e no power in this meeting to compel any'pf the Gentlemen named to sit on the Committee, and as, in case of refusal, others must be a { pointed, the resolution would be premature," • ' This opinion was assented to by the meeting and the motion was wiiFuli- awn. x THE ARCH OF TITUS. was again uuaui- Guardians is nugatorv as to the purpose for wbicl this meeting is assembled. I therefore move— That thp Guardians of the Poor, now assembled, not being the representatives of tlw* Hate- payers of the several United Parishes for any other purpose than that of carrying into effect the Act of the 24th, Geo. 3d, cap. 15, it is quite premature in them to resolve any thing upon the subject of j,- epealing' it, j, intil they are legally empowered-, so to do." This motion vvas seconded by Capt, JACKSON. Mr. WATTON said, the parishes of St. Mary and Meole had, on a former occasion, ' agreed to a dissolution, and the present was only an adjourned meeting from that period. Rev. E. BATHER;— 4* Mr. Watton has stated that six years ago there ' was a i) teefi! ng iu Meole parish at which the dissolution % as agreed to. If t1 business has been adjohrhed from then till noiy, certainly is a pretty ^> ng adjournment. But it not so ; the former proceedings went off, and the parish of Meole have not pledged themselves to this or" any other tinie QU tlie busines^. The present meeting is no adjouVned ' meeting', ' nor does the requisition say so. IHs a i/ esh^ ineetiug, and must begin de novo " - The Chairman then read from the Act tlje quali- fications and powers of the . Guardians. Mr. SUTTON.— V- As far as I have been able to collect, the parishioners of St., Mary wish time to he allowed to ascertain what paupers really belong to the several parishes, for having been so many years under this Act, it is very questionable whe- ther many of the paupers belong to the parishes to which they have been assigned— a point of b it little importance while the parishes are incor- porated, but which will be very important in case of a dissolution." The assembly then resolved itself, pursuant to the advertisement", into the regular Octennial Meeting for choosing Neyv Directors and oilier Officers for the ensuing year, under the provisions of the Act or Incorporation.— On the motion of the ivev. E. BATHER, seconded bv universal acclama- tion, JONATHAN PERIJY, mously called ( « > the cfiair. ' Messrs.

The CHAIRMAN ( Mr. Perry) having left the Chair, the thanks ofthe Meeting, moved l^ y the e?. E. BATHER, and seconded by Mr, CLEMENT, were votetj to him by acclamation for his very proper and impartial conduct while presiding over the assembly. ' - The great majority of the assembly now departed : about a scorej however, ofthe Guardians, and some of the Directors remained ; and W. COOPER, Esq Stated to the Directors that lie had received a letter from J. BATHER, Esq. relative to Beacall and Wei lings, who had been prosecuted by the Direct- tors for embezzlement, and which letter' he read, as follows : — " Shrewsbury, July 12, 1834. SIR,--- I have to communicate to you, for the informa- tion of the Directors', the result of the conference of the Twelve Judges on the case of Beacall and Weilings, which Mr. Just, ice Park has done me the honour of forwarding to me hy Mr. Whately tlius Wig'before the Assizes, in order that suqh further proceedings may be taken in this matter as may be deemed expedient by the Prosecutors. It will be in your recollection that three objections were taken to the indictments: the'first that the name of the party from Whom the money was received should have been set forth • the second, that though the Directors were authorized to prosecute in their corporate capacity, vet the property should nol have been laid in them; the third, that the consideration being for a composition of bastardy, the debt was illegal.' AtW debate, the Judges decided against the first and tlwrd'objections, and for the second. Now as this | decision not only afiects the present case, but proves that the Directors have been acting erroneously for these 40 years, ia laying the property as theirs ( since this rule affects the commonest case of ' larceny), and as it must aljjo regulate all future proceedings, 1 beg to state it as aly opinion, that it is most important that the present' case should1 not rest. here. It is obviously the expectation of Mr. Justice Park that these mail should be indicted afresh at the ensuing Assizes, and I think the Board would ha- a great advantage in the trials taking place before the same Judge as presided before. YQU have mentioned to me, that the Directors had an idea of referring it to the Guardians to decide whether further proceedings should be instituted.. I beg to state that, this decision does not at all affect the right of the Directors to commence proceedings; they, and they alone, are the parties who ought to do it, and the Guardians have no voice in the matter,, nc? r does there ap- pear to me much difficulty in getting up a case against each of these parties at no great expense, since the mere formal acquittal will not entitle them to their plea of autrefois acquit: see all the cases on this point brought to- gether in Chitty's Criminal Law. vol I. 452 and the follow- ing pages, particularly 45q; where this express case is instanced. I should recommend WoodbnnVs case for Beacall, whicli, as I recollect,' would be short and the evidence at hand, and by looking over your old briefs you would ss9 which ' would. fit- Mr. Wellings. The. Directors should come to an immediate decision, th § indictments, which were before long, will now be more than twi^ e as long. " I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant,, ' J. BOTHER.

H). On the Motion of JOHN BATHER, Esq. se- conded by EDWARD CLUDDE, Esq. Thatthe Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Rev. JOSEPH HUGHES and the Rev. PETER TRESCHOW, for their obligin. Attendance on this Occasion, and for the interestin. Information they have communicated. hers of ( he Church Missionary Society ? the Wesleyan Missionary Society? the Moravian Missionary Soci- ety? We all. seek to gird ourselves witlr the same 4 sword of tbe Spirit,' 4 the word of God ;' and this is the grand emporium for that sole weapon of onr warfare. Or are we more solicitous for the con- version of the Jews? Does not the Apostle seem to say the fulness of the Gentiles must first come in ? And lo, we bear in our hands that revelation under winch so fair a portion of the Gentile world has been already converted, and to the completion of vy- bieh we. now look wiih accelerated hope, through the blessings apparently bestowed on the proceedings of the Bible Society. Nor is its influence less important or beneficial when viewed with reference to what may be called ils more direct object, that of placing tire Word of GOD without note or comment before all I lie si ins'of men. This 4 silent Missionary, 1 as it has been aptly termed iu one of the reports of the } aris Bible Society,, has gone forth, and not gone forth in vain : .' for we can produce, instances from our records of Jews, Turks, and Infidels, who, from the mere perusal of the Bibb s thus prepared and presented, have become convinced of the truth of the Christian Religion. Nor is this more than consonant to an lien t opinion, as well as modem experience. Moses, we know, told the Israelites that the commandments he delivered were uot * hidden' from them ; they were not 4 far oft'; 1 i. e. as Bishop Patrick observes, 4 not abstruse, and hard to be understood, because above their reach ; hut easy to be known and acquainted withal, because plainly revealed. Which is as true of. the Gospel ( unto which St. Paul applies these ds) as it was of the Law of Moses. For therein Saviour haih declared the mind and will of GOD to us in such familiar words, that the most simple people may understand their duty.' And the late and much- lamented missionary, Mr. Henry Martin, is said to have complained of what he called a want of spirituality in his Persian auditors, when he eudeavoimd to explain to them the doctrine of redemption; but that when lie read to them texts of Holy Writ, or when he translated the same into their ngtiage, that they may read them,- the case was very different: their attention was excited; their affections were called forth ; and they are even said to have shed tears of joy over the glad tidings thus made known to tlvem. There, then,- are encouraging rcuni'svances, and whoever looks at the progress that has been made, must pronounce it wonderful; but, then," whoever compares that progress with the object embraced by the Bible Society, will be forced to own t is no more than a good work well begun. All the • e ports, both at home and abroad, concur iu this one fact, that in proportion as the Scriptures are distri- buted, the demand for them increases. Caii there, theu, be a stronger argument, not only for persever ance, hot for more general co- operation ? When the Almighty enabled Gideon, with 300 men only, to discomfit the host of Midian, we read that He ' sent messengers throughout all Mount Ephraiui, saying, me down against the SVlidianites •.' upon which he learned Prelate I have just mentioned quotes the following exclamation from Peter Martyr—' Would to'Go I) that, vve were of this Spirit in the Church of Chiist, ihat when any noble work is'begrtn, we would call- in all to help to perfect it: hut, alas! such a _:'. . _ .1:. „ il Li. ... I.:.. A means by which this object must be realized. Before, then, these or any other individuals can put a stop to the progress of the Bible, they must deprive Jehovah of the attribute of faithfulness, dry up the fountain of mercy in his heart, and chain his Almighty arm to the skies. We have great reason to rejoice in seeing the prejudices of men giving way so much, and in seeing persons of all ranks and'' distinctions in life, and of all denomina- tions, uniting'. tog- ether to circulate the Bible. What a pleasing sight are we called to witness this morning! Here are persons of nearly all ranks in society, and of all denominations, in'the town and neighbourhood of Shrewsbury. Whatever differ- ences may characterise us in those spheres in which vve move,, we have this morning left tliem far below; we have ascended to higher reg- ions, to a purer atmosphere, where the spirit of prejudice cannot, exist,- nor the monster bigotry breathe. We have met together under one impression, that the Bible is a revelationfrbin felod* and contains all that is necessary for Man's salvation ; we have met together' with one " object in view, and that is fo circulate it; and we hail with pleasure the arrival of that period When party name shall be done away, and when .- Zion's watchmen shall see eye to eye. This shall be the case when ihe scriptures shall be generally circulated, universally read, and closely adhered to. From what we have heard this morn- rig, we certainly must conclude that the period is not far distant when men- of every liatioii and clime shall be able to read in their own tongue. the unsearchable riches of Christ. Let US, then, exert our influence and employ our talents fn order to hasten it ; and while vve labour to circulate the scriptures among men, let us each retire into our closets, and there, with bended knees, pray the God of heaven, 44 Open thou their eves that they may behold wondrous thing's written in thy law ;" that our fellow men may not only have the scrip- ture's, and be able to read them, but may be brought to an interest in thoseiblessings revealed in them— blessings which are of more value than the world, Ynd as " durable as. eternity . As the objects of this Society cannot foe realized without means, the thanks of this meeting are certainly due to those who have made collections in its behalf; and therefore I would beg' ve- tv cordially to second the resolution. t<> that efi'eeU ,- FkAKCIS• \ BTHE CARRIES, Esq. moved the thanks to the Ladies'; Astroeialions, iu the follow- g ' terms :•— '' • MRPRT; S1 " ft, E.

Archdeacon CORBETT, after noticing the Rep ot, said, Let us be thankful that we are again permitted to meet together for the irrefragable purpose ol' assisting the means of the British and Foreign Bible Society. Let ns be thankful that Society is still enabled to circulate the word of God in its native simplicity and power, to an extent not only unprecedented, " but beyond what ils piou; founders could have expected or even hoped for but make this observation under the correction of a distinguished stranger* who this day honours u with his presence. And perhaps I should apologize for applying the word STRANGER, particulaHy in assembly like the present, to that person who first suggested the idea of the Bible Society ; who wa fi sVnamed as a Secretary to ihat Society ; and wh li- is ever since discharged the ' duties- of that laborious office with equal ability and zeal : lsay, I make thiis observation under his correction, h. ecans. e in the plan he published for the formation of the Bible Society, be seems to have had no in distinct, vision of t' glory about to be revealed. But great as that glory is, we must observe that familiarity vvjrh th mightiest operation lessens the concepiion of it vasiness; and again, the Bible Society arose amidst so large a constellation of religious and benevolent institutions, that it created not the surprise it must otherwise ha ve done, and its ascension, though rapid beyond all precedent also, has stiil stolen upon us, with something of gradual progression. But h great a sensation would have been felt throughout the Christian world in former days, if only dire such.. Society had appeared, and aeii'n'g in One dis'tV onlv ? ' ami how greatly would that sensation have been added to, could it have been foreseen that a Society, formed under no outward advantages tout what might result from" the religious character of few individuals, should, in tlie short space of twenty years, be surrounded by corresponding Societies not only in these realms, but that its example arid its Union should have extended into the continents of Europe, of Asia, of Africa, and America, and among the then undiscovered Islands of the Southern Sea ? Nor is this benign planet stationary, in its exaltation 11s revolutions still furnish mailer not only of annual hut monthly report ; aud not ONE of those monthly teporls - have'' yet appeared wiihUnt announcing th formation of Auxiliary or BraiWh Societies, or Bible Associations-, and the number thus announced in the course of the last year, and in this country only, where the ground lias; been so much pre- occupied^ ainou. nts, as. vve have just heard from the Report, to above 130. We all . know how greatly the borders of Janhe't have been enlarged according to the sure word of Prophecy. When it was said, k God shall enlarge Japhet,' itwasadded, and Mie shall ( Lvei. l in the tents of Shem.' Now if we give to ibis last promise, as many eoinmeutatnrs have done, aspiritual us w our sins,. vve oft times do all we are able to hinder one another. 1'. Now the Bible Society does give full' practical effect to the Catholic principle this eminent reformer. so earnestly desired. We do call upon all « o come and help us; and I am convinced no one finally repent of having attended to this call. Lord'Bexley, in his early and able Answer to those doubts that ' were entertained of the propriety of Churchmen and Dissenters uniting in this good'wHrk, expressed his conviction that he should least of ai} repent of the step hebad'taken as he approached thai state in which the names of Churchman and Dissenter would be no more. May it be long before thisestim. iibie and approved friend of ihe Bible Society experi etices the full reality of this presentiment.! But that it is no vain anticipation is proved by the experience of other friends of \ lie Bible Society whose loss vve have to deplore; and a most beautiful instance of this feeling is given in the monthly report for April last. Mr. Ronueberg, late Assistant Foreign Secretary to the Parent Society, wrote to the excellent Dr Steinkopff, when he was somewhat better of ail illness in which his life was despaired of, saving, In the immediate prospect of death, the Gospel of Christ presented itself in such ri£ h ineffable ' glory and delight to my mind, that the consideration of so many mill ions who do not possess, it, .. brought tears rito my eyes. This led me to regard the cause of the Bible Society of such vast importance, and proved so powerful an a ft r. act ion in my mind to its bject, that 1 felt resolved nothing but death should eparQte me from it while I remain on earth.' Urn ortiinately this separation was not long delayed Mi. Edelman writes word, under date of March 22, 1824, One dear friend, Mr. Ronneberg, has just, leparted. He expired without any struggle. H really fell asleep. He was sensible to the last, and ' appv in his Saviour. Blessed be the Lo rd God for bis goodness; and mercy towards him. O may our last end be like. his!' But \ will say no more lest. I ken the force of this home- test; a test so easy of a ' plication, aud so convincing when fairly ap- 11 as a temporal interpretation ; if we refe riot onl'V to the change of territorial dominion, but; as coinprcheudiug also ihat of religious opinion, then ibe prediction ihat Japhet should dwell in the tents ofShent, may designate the entrance of the Gentiil into the ark of that covenant the Jews had rejected ; and that the essential influence of that cloud that once covered the tent of the congregation of Israel, the descendants of Shem, now hovers, an aid and protection, over the posterity of Japhet. Mr. Mede observed, that a" the nations descended from Japhet were become Christian except the Turks. Now without stopping to consider, our hopes as to tli excepted country, in eousequence of the translation of the Scriptures into the Turkish language, and of the establishment of a depot for them in the suburbs of Constantinople, let us only look at what has been achieved on the part of this country both by conquest aud bv settlement since the time Mr. Mede wrote ; let us look at the extent in which the faith and lanouaoe of Britain have been planted in ihe Western vorVd -" and at the exertions now making to confe similar benefit on our Eastern, possessions.; let u turn to the early Missions attached to the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge; to the Society fo propagatuig the Gospel in Foreign Parts; and last, th. ou » h not least, to that Society, in . which, under Providences we are again this day met together to testify our affiance; and we cannot but regard Great Britain as no niean instrument in carrying on the predicted enlargeuicut of Japhet. Every Religious Society contributes, indeed, more or less, to the same end ; and every Religions, Society looks more or less to the same means. But when we measure the deorce in which those, means are furnished by the Bible Society, to what any other Society eiiher has done, or is likely to do, we surely do not eri-, should we represent, that Society as standing pre- eminent in tbis sublime dispensation, and as entitled to general support. It is calculated, indeed, by the simplicity and comprehension of its plan to assist the wants of other Societies ; and whoever will read the account that is annually published of the expenditure of tiie Parent Society, will see what, large sums have, from time to time been, given in supply of such deficiencies, For are we members of the Church of Enoland ? Behold here uhe Volume upon w hich that Church is found'd! Are vve dissenters from that Church ? Behold here the Statute Book which is equally appealed ; t. o ! Do we belong to either of the Societies I have mentioned ? Are vve interested in the London or the Baptist Missions? Are we Mem- In seconding the motion of thanks to those Clergymen, & c. who had made collections, the Rev Nv KENT said— Mr. PRESIDENT,-— If 1 were to consult my own feelings., after what has been said I should merely second the resolution which has just been made ; but though, in so doing,* I might be comply ing with my feelings, I should perhaps not be discharging hy duty. I hope, therefore, that your candour, and the. candour of this respectable audience, will bear with rue while I attempt to make a remark or two. The object for which we have met together on the present occasion is at at once the most interesting aud laudable. Our hearts have been gladdened by the' intelligence we have heard respecting the circulation of the holy scriptures. What can more delight the heart of, a truly benevolent man, than the circulation of those scriptures among his fellow- creatures which are able to make them wise unto salvation ? It is our happiness to live in a day when many societies are formed for promoting the pi ritual and eternal wel fare of men, and it is our honour to be seen lending the hand in order to help ' em forward. I need not inform you, Sir, that the Bible is the best of books. It is an inexhaustible fund of every thing that is kind and good. Itis the field in which lies hid the pearl of great price. It is a fountain from which flow the waters of life. It is a sun from which emanates the light of'life. 4s the Bible is the best of books so the Bible Society is the greatest of societies. It. is like the sun in the middle of our system ; the various Missionary and Tract Societies, and Sabbath School nstitutloiis, are. like so many planets and . satellites moving around it, and deriving all their light and influence from it. The Bible Society is like queen moving, forward with dignity and majesty; the other Societies are the virgins, her companions^ ihat follow her. To . promote the interests of the Bible Society, and to circulate the scriptures, are our honour as med, and our duty as christians. Have we any thing to l\* j- from the circulation of the scriptures? Do the. tenets contained in them make men traitors, thieves, swearers, or sabbath- breakers ? No. They counteract the influence of these things, change the face of our moral horizon, and produce peace, harmony, and purity wherever they " are embraced. Let the scri ptures he circulated universally, we tremble not for the consequences; yea, we hail the consequences with emotions of peculiar pleasure, for truth will overcome em aiid the Bible will triumph while it tramples upon the spoils of infidelity aud wickedness. If, Sir , . » • i.... . i— : „ a „ r <' ie scrip- uired for * The Rev. Joseph Hughes, one ofthe Secretaries ofthe Parent Society. tures, this spacious room would not be req the purposes to which it is devoted : there would be no criminals to appear at that bar ; there would be no need for a judge lo occupy that seat; for honesty and integrity would prevail in all directions. We would then call upon the lovers of mankind, upon the lovers of their country, upon the lovers of God, to come forward, and to give us a proof of it, by uniting their influence in circulating the scrip- tures. The Bible Society, Sir, is adapted to the accomplishment of great things, it has already effected great things, and it. will accomplish still greater ; like a river, it will move on in all direc- tions, until by its streams it will have fertilized the whole earth," and caused righteousness and truth to spring up before God in all nations; until it will have renewed upon the face of our earth the bloom, the beauty, and the fragrance of Eden, To attempt to prove the utility of the Bible Society^ would be as superfluous as to attempt to prove by eloquence that the sun is useful. The growing evidence of twenty years has placed it upon an eminence where it is seen in its own light, and no one is able to deprive it of that lustre, or to eclipse that glory to which it has now attained. There are some, however, to be. found in this country, and in this enlightened ag* e,^ who op pose the circulation ofthe scriptures; hut how vain, how puerile are their efforts ! They might as well attempt to check vegetation in its growth, or to stop the sun in its course. It is declared, that " the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea." The circulation of the scriptures is the Sir a Gentleman in the course of his observations.^ that this Hall is periodically a Court of criminal judicature, flow much more pleasant must it be to all of us to see the Court - filled as it now and how much, more pleasant must it especially be to my honoured and much respected friend and relative ( Mr. Brian fliiy, who, I perceive, by the minutes put. into my hands, accompanies me inthis motion of thanks, to see the, gallery opposite to me crowded with an nSsetiiblage of young female friends, rather than to see an old gia- nd juryman with a iong fa. ee handing down to your seat, Sir, a true bill against some unhappy criminal, who may be on the point of expiating a heinous crime by a justly ignominious sentence, perhaps that of death ; and how much pieasanter it must be to: you, Sir ( whom we are happy to see enjoying health and cheerfulness), to occupy that seat on so peaceful an occasion a's the present, than it must be to a Judge who may be about to pass the awful sentence of co nd e m u a ti oi i u p o n a g tl i It y let 1 o w - c r ea t u re. — W he. n 1 had the honour, Sir, to address you a year ago, I ventured to give my sentiments upon the present desirable connexion that I thought ought to subsist between this Institution aud that for promoting Christian Knowledge; since that time my views have been materially confirmed, and I really think that a member of the Church of England may now bc uni versaljy deemed an Orthodox member of the Establishment., even though he should subscribe to the British and Foreign Bible Society. The Rev. BRIAN HILL ( of Weston) said, " In rising to second this motion, I call to mind what the celebrated Lavater has remarked of Lord Anson This is the physiognomy fhe observes) ofa man who says ' I can and J will,' T once thought, for reasons which I have formerly stated in this place, that. I could not utter my sentiments in public; but ex- perience has convinced me- that I can, and therefore I will. 4 I can and Twill* may savour of egotism in the ears of this audience; "" Hut I trust I shall prove, before. I have done, that what 1 have to utter proceeds from motives of benevolence and not from vanity, ff a man labouring under an inveterate disease applies many remedies without obtaining relief, at length meets with a phy sician who exactly hits off his case, and presents the medicine whidh effects a cure, hi i glad to recommend him to his fellow- sufferers who labouring under similar complaints.

A good shepherd sought ud found me, he led me into green pastures, be re. freshed me with clear waters, he healed my diseases^ nd be watched over me with the tenderest care: anc I say, without fear of contradiction in this assembly, hat all we like sheep have gone astray, we bave turned every one to his own way; and as the Bible describes the character and abilities of that Good Shepherd from whence'I have received such singular benefits, I desire to recommend it to the notice of ail my fellow sufferers, i t- is \ vi; th peculiar pleasure tha j address the Ladies oil this subject, because I have story to communicate, to them concerning a dea ittje lamb of Christ's Jock, which is very true and pry affecting. Wheii that bright ornament of the female sex, Mrs Hannah More, was, iu conjunction with her sisters, superintending the Mendip schools it happened that a little boy belonging to one of them whose name was James Clark, aud who was ( if recollect right) about 7. years old, being in the pi in tig district with his father, was suddenly buried alive by the earth falling in upon him. With a view of digging out his remains, different sets of labourers eliev. ed one another dUting 36. hours. Towards the end of that time they w^ re encouraged to proceed by ' earing a faint voice. When they had reached the object of their search,, they found him unhurt in a little track, for two uprights had supported stone over his head which left him free space to breathe. His . first, words were in a language well known in this country, 4 I am almost clemmed:" Upon enquiring how he had spent his time in that dismal abode, and whether he was not very mue frightened, lie said, no! And why not? Because, replied he, I knew God had protected other littl hi Id re u when they were in danger, and I knew he could protect me, so I said my prayers, I thought of the Ladies, and I fell asleep. And did von sleep a" the time? No. When I wakened I again said m prayers, I thought of the Ladies, and fell asleep and this he did five times, till by the providence God, he was found as I have just described. S here live mercy and. goodness of God ! How does H comfort those who are in the greatest depths of afflic tioii pud sorrow ! 1 trust yon love that g- ood shepher of w hom ! have been speaking.. Remember wha proof of love he demanded fro in Peter, ' Feed lambs,' and again, ' Feed my sheep." Tlie sheep an iambs of Christ are dispersed over fhe face of the globe. Distribute among them that food which sliai nourish life. Be diligent in your work, and tli blessing* of the Lord God Almighty shall rest upon your exertions " In proposing the resolution for auditing the ac counts, the Rev. JOHN WILDE said | n submitting this motion tothe consideration the meeting, I am sure they will agree with me that the gentlemen will not be less entitled to thei thanks than those who occupy higher stations on the list of this Society. It is the work that dig- nifies the person, riot the person the work ; as the altar sanctifies the gold, and not the gold the altar. I know;, Sir, that I shall be taking up the time this meeting, which' w, iR be better employed . listening to others, but I cannot help congratulating it upon the success of the Bible Society, and the approbation and support it has met with, not in this country only, but in every nation where it has been proposed. What other Institution has re- ceived such general approbation ? What other Society has obtained such universal and voluntary support ? And is not general consent and general co- operation an evidence of propriety, a proof pf utility ? Without adverting to any other reasons which may be urged in its support, a strong argu- ment in its favour appears to me to be, that it has falsified every prediction of evil to which its op- ponents said it naturally tended, and has fulfilled every expectation of good, which its warmest advo- cates have so fondly and reasonably anticipated. Indeed, Sir, if the original, simple, beneficent principle of the Institution be kept in view, and solely acted on, it is not pibliable., 1 liad almost said, it is not possible for it to produce any other results than peace on earth and good- will among men.—- I condemn not, Sir, those who differ in opinion from , me on this subject, but the same liberty which I grant to others, 1 claim for myself. Though we cannot be of the same mind as to the measures which each respectively adopt, we are,, I trust, of the same heart as to the, great object they are intended to, accomplish. If as some, falsely I hope, say, the Bible is distributed in ostentation ; or, as others more truly, it is. distributed in goodl will : what then ? The Bible is distributed ; and I therein do rejoice:, and will rejoice; for it is my firm belief that the Bible is tli. e best gift of God to man : it is the means of enlightening the under- standing-, correcting the will, and purifying the affections and fixing them on things above. It was that powerful instrument which more than Ntvvo centuries ago burst the bands of superstition, it is that blessed mean jvyhich has saved this country • from the deluge of • French . Philosophy and infi- delity. To nie it seems as if Providence had raised it up twenty years ago. to stem the torrent of Deism and Atheism which was then overrunning the Con- tinent, and producing such pestilent effects, civil and religious ; and that it is continued at the pre- sent time, to check the progress of a grosser Idolatry than ever stained t, lie pages of ancient or modern history. For let it be duly considered by every Protestant, that in these dominions of Great Britain and Ireland, in a . population of 15 millions, there are 6 millions bound by an authority towhich they must submit, to oppose, as Romanists, the circulation and t, he reading- of the Bible, and who are at this time actively eng- aged in disseminating doctrines most , abhorrent from that Word, and which the Fathers of the Reformation and the Martyrs of our Church considered as containing the grossest Idolatry.—. Surely, when we conside" the times jn which this Society originated, and the rors which the Bible alone can successfully van- quish, there are fey who will not say, i( God peed it '." and humbly and devoutly pray, uProspe thou the work of our hands, O prosper thou our handy- work." The Rev. JOHN RIOIIARDS, iu moving the Thanks to the Branch Societies, & c. said— In taking a view, Sir, of the Bible Society, I arcel. y know which more to admire, its unprece- dented progress, or the truly christian spirit which has marked all its movements, and so greatly con duced to raise it to its present distinguished re putation. I ts character now appears to be establish ed in the estimation even of many who on. ee judged it equivocal, who, having ceased their hostilities from a conviction of its worth, are at this time as armly engaged in its support, as they were formerly in opposition to it: and vve doubt not that every revolving- year will bring to it a fresh ac- cession of friends, convinced, by its actual effects on'tbe moral state of the world, that it must be a good thing- to circulate the Scriptures. This Insti tu'tion lias already lived long enough to silence nearly e very objection ; to clear itself of every un : ust imputation; to conciliate the favour of some of rea'test enemies ; fully to confirm its pretension, as friendly to every thing- noble in principle, anci excellent in practice ; and to prove to a demonstra- on, by the extensive good " of which it has been the nstrument, that its value is beyond all computation n the immense benefits which it hiis been the channel of cOnimunica! titig in so short a period to the world, this Society remains unrivalled';— the page qf history does not furnish us with its parallel • it stands forth as one of those moral ' phenomena, hieh fill heaven and earth with joy and gladness Yes, sucb is the majestic appearance of this tree^ whose branches are so widely extending themselves in every direction, that, while it excites our asto. nishment, it imparts a sanguine hope that, unde the wise and unerring culture of fhe heavenly hus band man, it will not. only strike deeper root, but- that it . will also shortly fill the land ; and that in creasing- multitudes will ' sit Under its shadow With great delight, and find its fruit sweet io their taste To spread the oracles of the li ving God pure and unmutilated, is the lofty employment of this noble Institution; and can any employment exceed it i mportance ? be more worthy of rational and im mortal beings ? confer benefits so- truly estimable on mankind ? or give higher satisfaction to those who are carryinginto effect its grand designs ? The treasure which it dispenses does not enrich merel for time, but also for eternity, implanting, in th minds of all, who duly receive it, seed, which' vyill " ourish in unfading vigour and frnitfulhess when time shall be no more. Illustrious examples of the beneficial influence of Bible Societies on the minds of those who attend their meetings;, are continually occurring. With one of these examples we have lately been presented by a distinguished personage, at the last anniversary of the Parent Institution; who frankly acknowledged, in all the simplicity of christian feelih'g, that he was indebted, for a revo- lution ofthe highest moment in his religious views, principfes, and opinions, to the truths, which he Mad heard advanced at a meeting of the Bible Society. May examples ofthe same kind be greatly multiplied ! And while we with adoring gratitude contemplate the splendid achievements of the British and Foreign Bible Society, in which the concurrence of an omnipotent ag- ency ha; been so conspicuous, let. us testify the high sense of our obligations to the Giver of every good and perfect gift, by a g- rowing attachment to this blessed cause, reuewed perseverance in it, and, above all, by an exemplification of the power of heavenly truth in our own hearts and lives. In acknowledging the vote of thanks to the Branch Societies, the Rev. D. LEWIS said— " As I never attempted to speak in a meeting like this, I rise with diffidence, on behalf of the Newport Branch, to acknowledge the vote of thanks which has been just passed.— Grant me your indulgence while, for a few moments, I disclose to you my feel- tigs and sentiments. The cause in which we are • mbat ked is emphatically the greatest and the best. It is that which gives time all its importance, and eternity all its glory— apart from it, every thing else is a shadow.— The British and Foreign Bible Society is dear, to my heart. It was connected with my earliest and most powerful impressions. No sooner Was new life infused into my soul, and the eyes of my ' understanding opened, than my attention was directed to this Society, then in a state of infancy. Like tbe cloud which the prophet beheld from the summit of Mount Car me I, it appeared about the size of a man's hand, some dreaded its approach, as if it were charged with the lightning and fury of heaven, others deemed it an empty vapour that would soon vanish away ; but it was my privilege to he connected wilh those who saw in it a messenger of mercy fraught with blessings to a famished world. We imagined that we heard the sound of abundance of rain, nor were we mistaken, as is evident from what we have heard this day. It covers the whole face of the heavens, and drops down fatness on the thirsty nations. Were I now asked what is tbe brightest g'etn thatshines on Britain's bosom ? I should answer, without hesitation, the British and Foreign Bible Society.— I love the Societv that affectionately en- treats both Churchmen and Dissenters to lay aside their petty contests, and to unite in a holy league, both defensive and offensive, presenting themselves in one ' consolidated body against the combined energies ofthe kingdom of darkness, and marching forward underthe blood- stained banner of the great Captain of our Salvation, till heaven and earth join in the thundering Hallelujah, 44 The Lord God Omnipotent reigneth." I most sincerely rejoice in what this Society has already effected. Already the iron chain of the Hindoo caste begins to give way. and our Morrison has caused the Chinese great wall to totter to its foundation. Who can contemplate but with the purest delight and the most sanguine expectation the happy results which must proceed from the Scriptures being translated into so many languages, circulated in so many countries, and so many Missionaries sent forth to explain them to the understanding and enforce them on the conscience Yes, Sir, in our days a sacred flame has been kindled in Zion, it burns on Emanuel's altar, which has been committed to our care ; and we shall deserve a severer punishment than the Romans inflicted on the vestals if we ever suffer it to be extinguished. Let us feed the flame with unwearied exertion, liberal contribu- tions, and, above all, fervent prayer for the blessing of Him on our feeble efforts, without whose aid 44 Nothing is good, nothing is wise, nothing is strong." In adverting to the Thanks voted to the Branch Societies, the Rev. S. BARBER said— REVRREND SIR,— I feel myself warranted in grate- fully acknowledging the vote of thanks which has just been passed, aware that all whom it regards are duly sensible of the honour it confers, as the produce of sincere and generous minds which have formed a favourable opinion of humble efforts in one of the best of causes, and mean to encourage us that we 44 should go forward." The present is not the first honour of the kind you have done us; vve are candid to acknowledge the influence of your approbation and gratitude, yet trust that these are light as air, or 44 the smail dust of the balance," compared with other considerations which actuate us as members of the British and Foreign Bible Society.— Our Con- stitution, Sir, stands unrivalled; here the vile spirit of oppression, and that fiend Anarchy, which would ut down all authority aud power, lie the objects of enefeal contempt and bound in adamantine fetters; here liberty, both in her civil and religious charac- ter, reigns., and we leave her cap, so often substi- tuted for her lovely person, with Infidelity ( who has stolen it), to those who covet them, and, lamenting their choice, say, the lines have fallen to us in plea- sant places ; we have a goodly heritage • what shall we render to the Lord for all his benefits ?— But, Sir, our constitution with all - its superiority pretends riot to be the glory of our land ; she ascribes this honour to our benevolent institutions, the lovely sons she has nourished and protected with maternal fondness: — whilst these modestly yield that honour to the institutions which propose exciting, and, having excited, to confirm moral feelings and habits which favour the everlasting welfare o'f mankind. Amongst these there may be rivals, but we have one which adUiits not of a rivai * one which seetns to have] attained th'e 44 ne plus ultra" to which christian benevolence can point: it is a sun in mag- nit tide, I splendour, and unity-, it is that we now advocale,! and of which we have often said, 44 If I forget thee,' let my tongue cleave to the roof of mv mouth; let! my right band forget her cunning."-— We admire the i Divine Wisdom in appointing diversity of sentiment amongst the professors of Christianity: this guards; against that sloth to which our degenerate nature is prone, and prompts us, to coil lend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the Saints, in connection with non- essential ' points on which we differ ; and, alas! we too often observe that party spirit which would compass sea and land to make one proselyte— that spirit, the language of which is, 44 Lord, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followed not us." Here, Sir, that hydra- headed monster cannot exist; the air is too pure, suitable diet is wanting ; till difference is lost in the lovely name Christian, and we exhibit, a oneness corresponding; . with that which prevails amongst those who appear before the throne of tiOcl, baving washed their robes and made them white iri the blood of tbe ' Lamb : to ivhaty short of this, can vve attribute the utmost harmony where numbers are so great?— The British and Foreign Bible ' Society breathes a spirit of peace and humility ; in self- defence it has not drawn the sword, much less to commence hostilities,; reviled, it has not. reviled again ; it would aid, not injure, cotemporary institu tions ; and, as its triumphant march continues, men 44 shall heat their swords into ploughshares, and thei); spears into pruni'ng- ljooks : nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more ;" then shall be fully brought to pass that saying, < c On earth peace, good- will towards men." — Tbe natural enmity of our hearts subdued, we love God increasingly as lie favours us wit'll discoveries of his lovely character, his all- wise plans, and gracious designs ; so it has been with respect to that institu- tion, which as certainly originated wilh him as it manifestly leads to him : ihe more we have dwelt upon, the more we have " necessarily loved it; and if an apology be necessary for an increase of what may appear to some enthusiastic regard, I hav£ offered it. — The perseverance and success of our beloved Soci- ety demand our thankfulness to Almighty God, The grand spring of ibis vast machine seems to include perpetual motion, a motion the acquisition of which mechanics have hitherto studied in vain :— or rather let me say, the gentle flame kindled from the altar of God lias burned with aU increase of vigour and brilliancy, extending- itself to other and to'other hearts ; and when bur's bow. vvhere is fulness of joy, minds not yet brought into existence shall maintain , this cause with an ardour and diligence we have not shewn. And what has been done in tbe course of about 20 years? Why, Sir, translations have been made, and bibles have been circulated to an extent that, had the prophets foretold such things, osi'r incredulous hearts had exclaimed, " If the Lord would make vvindows in heaven, might this be?" If what has been done in twenty years had employed. so many centuries, the labour had stood unprece- dented in the history of time as far more than Her- culean. But the moral. effects of this Society are its grand achievements. Men have been rendered bet- ter husbands and fathers, women better wives and mothers, children, brought up in ihe nurture and admonition of the Lord, have learned lo honour their fathers and mothers, whilst servants have liiade the important discovery that thereis an eye behold- ing them when the master is absent, and* that there is an approbation infinitely more valuable than that of a fellow creature. Amongst the humbler classes we have seen these efects^ itd trust that many employed in doing them good have received more than they were the instruments of imparting; but we must look to glory, and> dwell upon that endless felicity which eye has not seen, ear heard, nor of which it has not entered into the human mind to conceive fu- lly, if we would include the highest moral advantages which, under God, have been secured. — However, I flatter myself, Sir, that vve may safely calculate upon more extensive benefits than bave been produced by tire British and Foreign Bible Society. Good men have always been persuaded that the influence of tbp Spirit of God was necessary to render a perusal ofthe Sacred Volume savingly beneficial. Prompted by such a conviction, David prays, 44 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wonderful things out of thy law ;" and He who was eminently a teacher from God informed his disciples, that whilst they had Moses and the Prophets they should receive the Holy Ghost to teach them all things. This truth seems now to be felt in its due importance; and whilst good men are labouring for the diffusion of Sacred Knowledge, they are praying, in the closet and in the family, in the church and in ihe meeting- house, where the sun of righteousness shines in all his splendour, . and where dark places appear full of the habitations of cruelty, to Him with whom is the residue of the Spirit, and who has virtually pledged its communication, in saying, 44 If ye then, being evil, know, bow to, give good, gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" and in express promise ( Joel ii. 28, 29) < 41 will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions ; and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will 1 pour out my Spirit."— » Sir, accom- panied with such prayers the Bible is how going forth to 44 every tongue, and people, and nation ;" and we do not anticipate too much, whilst, standing on the tiptoe of expectation, we look for the period 44 when the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."-- But 1 tres- pass on your valuable time ; and would only repeat, that the vote of thanks is gratefully acknowledged by the humble representative of the Societies it regards.

The accounts of the Revenue up to the 5th inst. have been made public. Their statements are, on the whole, satisfactory. The introduction of the Austrian composition pay ment into the second and third quarters of the year ending the 5th, enhances the general total of the year's income by two millions and a half; but even without this contingent addition, the last year's revenue amounts to within a trifle of 48 millions, or within one million two hundred thousand pounds of the revenue of the preceding year, notwithstanding the partial reduction of the Assessed Taxes, of the taxes on Leather, Salt, Spirits, & c. which has actually taken place, the anticipated reduction of the Silk and Coal Duties, and the re payment of £ 500,000 on account of the Silk oft hand.

EXECUTION.— On Monday morning three men, whose lives were forfeited to the offended laws of their country, were cut off frOm society, ' by being executed facing the Debtors' dOor, Newgate, viz. John Reading, John Williams, antl Thomas Davies, for the- crime of burglary. They ivere all young nfien— the oldest not above 33, fend the youngest, Williams, only 19. In the town of tiocbdale and the adjacent villages, it is said there are manufactured every week, of flannels and baizes, about 20,000 pieces, of 46 yards each, making 47,840,000 yards per annum. It is « uppo3ed that 17,840,000 yards are exported ; the remaining 30 millions of yards are consumed in the United Kingdom, being an average of about Tj yards for each individual.— Manchester Guardian. FRENCH PROTESTANTS.— The fVotestanis of France, as ascertained by their own consistories in the year lfe22, amounted to 542* 009 souls, being; about one- fiftieth part of the population of that country, and less than one- eleventh . part of the amount of the Catholic population of Ireland ; and this enumeration comprises the Protestants of all de- nominations in France; they possess 3l5 temples, and 483 iplnces of worship, of which 21 had been Catholic Churches, being- in the proportion of a place of worship for every 1,122 persons of all ages of that communion in France.— Since the restoration of his most Christian Majesty, in the year 1814, the Catholic Government of France has contributed to the maintenance of the religions institutions of the Protestants of that country, lire sum of 4,199,441 francs, in the following manner.- for temples, 541,686; support for pastors, 3,901,279, and for occasional relief for pastors or their widows, 56,476 ; all of which aids are exclusive of the provision made by ihat Government for the education of Lutheran and Calvinist M inisters in the two faculties of The- ology at Strasburgh and Montauban. Earl Marshal.— The following is a correct copy of the Protest lately made in the House of Lords by ' tiie Duke of New cast le:— " Dissentient from the bill to enable the Earl Marshal to hold the office, without taking any other oaths than those of Allegiance and of office. Be- cause, on general principles, 1 object to any con- cession to Roman Catholics, either collectively or individually; and that this bill violates the Con- stitution,- by enabling a Papist to hold a high office near the person of a Protestant King, and by dis- pensing with those oaths which a" Protestant is bound and required to take.— Because the peculiar dispensation with the oath of supremacy to a Papist must of necessity create a constitutional jealousy on the part of Protestants, thereby originating- feuds and animosities ; but most especially at the present time, when Papists avow their intentions in lan- guage and by acts so undisguised that they cannot oe misunderstood .-^ Because, to sanction the separa- tion ofthe oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy is to establish a most'dangerous and alarming precedent, inasmuch as the union of Church and State forms the basis of our Constitutional greatness . and ex- cellence, freedom and security.— Aud lastly, be- cause, at this very late period of the Session, and passed as the bill was at the early hour of five o'clock, before Peers had arrived, the present decision cannot be. considered to be the sense of this House, especially as the House were taken quite unawares.— For these reasons, and having the wel- fare of my country deeply at heart, 1 solemnly pro- test against this bill, and. other measures of a similar nature, which are now in a constant course of pro- gression.— June 22, 1824. ( Signed) NEWCASTLE." BIBLE SOCIETIES. A sort of Pastoral Charge, in the form ofa Cir- cular Letter, addressed by the present Pope to the * Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops" ofthe Roman Catholic Church, has been published in the Paris Journals. The greater part consists of general observations, and of declarations against heresy and pretended philosophy. These would not be read with any interest here ; but there are some remaiks on the Bible Societies which may perhaps attract some attention :— 44 You nre not ignorant, my venerable Brethren," says his Holiness, 44 that a Society, commonly called a Bible Society, is audaciously spreading through the earth, and that in contempt of the traditions of the Holy. Fathers, and against the celebrated Decree ofthe Council of Trent, it endeavours, with all its power, and bv every means, to translate, or rather to corrupt the rtoly Scriptures into the vulgar tongues of all nations; which gives just reason to fear that in all other translations the same thing may happen which has happened with regard to those already known, namely, that 4 vve may there find a bad in terpretation, and instead of the Gospel of Christ, the Gospel of men, or what is worse, the Gospel of the Devil/ 44 Many of our predecessors have made laws to turn aside this scourge, and in these latter times Pius the Seventh, of sacred memory, sent two Briefs, the one to Ignatius, Archbishop of Guesue, the other to Stanislaus, Archbishop of M obi low. In these Briefs are found passages taken as well from the Holy Scriptures as from tradition, and collated with, care and judgment, to shew bow injurious this subtile invention is to faith and morality. 44 Aud we also, venerable Brethren, in the dis- charge of our Apostolic duty, we exhort you to re- move your flocks with care and earnestness from this fatal pasture. Reprove, intreat, insist, on all oc- casions, wit h all doctrine and patience, in order that the faithful, attaching themselves exactly to the rules of our congregation of the Indexy may be persuaded that if they let 4 the Holy Scriptures be indiscri- minately translated into the Vulgar Tongues, ihere will result, in consequence of the rashness of men, more evil than good.' 44 This is a truth demonstrated by experience, and which Saint Augustin, more than all other Fathers, has made known by these words:—* There have been formed heresies, aud perverse dogmas, which involve the souls of men in their snares, and drag them down the abyss, only because the Holy Scriptures have not been well understood, and because having ill under-* stood them, men have supported their false inter- pretations with rashness and audacity.' 44 Such, venerable Brethren, is the tendency of this Society, which, besides, omits nothing for tbe ac- complishment of its impious vvishes ; for it boasts- not only of printing the translations, but of disseminating them by going through the towns; and even to seduce the simple, sometimes it sells them, and some, times with a perfidious liberality chooses to distribute them gratuitously. 8.

The Gazette of Spires assures its readers, that tlie house of Rothschild has received proposals from the Sublime Porte for a loan to a considerable amount, and the offer of the entire of Palestine as a security for the repayment. In consequence, il adds, a confidential agent has been dispatched by that house to Constantinople to examine into Ihe validity of the pledge offered by the Turkish Cabinet.
