As there isa great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, a Person has the Pretension to say that hr- is the only Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact he is perhaps the only one that has not the genuine Bear's Grca « e ; but if the Purchasers will give themselves the Trouble of smelling it with Attention, they will easily discover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Snet, perfumed with a little Bergamot ; which, from having analyzed it, J. DEI. CRO'. X can assert to he a Fact. Such Composition, in Lieu of being beneficial fo the Preservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly contrary effect ; Oi! of Almonds, in particular, being of a very desicative Nature, and uot of H nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re- garded » « one <* f the hpst Articles for promoting the Growth of the Hair.

COURIER OF WALES, THE DUES OF WELLINGTON- [ FROM THE STANDARD.] Among" the extraordinary event* of she present age, fhe attempt in the last Session of Parliament to depre- ciate the character of the Duke of Wellington, is not the least remarkable, ft is perfectly- natural., that men devoid of probity, honour, and principle, should, by instinct, he the'enemies of all that is. liiyh and magnanimous. It is ihe war constantly waged by the base against the better portion of our- specif s. The ey. elit. feelingly tells us how shadowy and uncertain, if it depend . nn vulgar applause, is the duration of liomnu fame and fftorv ! Ti e Duke of Wellington had Inner nince ntfnined the highest point of elevation to which n subject could aspire. His energy in the field, hi* moderation in success, tbe magnanimity of hi* policy abnuid, the simple dignity of his character at home, had gained * he confidence of his sovereign, ihe gratitude of 1 si * country, and tlie admiration of the world _ Europe regardetl bim as the great conqueror, who had mas- tered, overthrown, aiid broken in pieces tlie whole fabric of the. Frmch Revolution, ami restored to man- kind the blessings of order and icpose, under a legiti mute ryce of- kings. Not. a single act of harshness, oppression, or cruelty, marred the jrlory of his vic- tories. No r- ct of dubious morality, Dy many consi- dered, as inseparable fronr the evils and necessities of war, cast a momentary shade upon his reputation. Re preserved inviolate Ihe magnanimity of good, faith. JDi'ssi inula lion- and intrigue were alien from, his noble nature. Bis" arts were manly arts. Upon them he frtood and conquered, uncontaniinated, in the hour of peril, bv the doubts, ( lie fears, and tbe inconsistencies of ihe timid, the feeble- minded, and the irresolute, from ihe day when he drove hack the disciplined barbarians of Massena from the Tagus, tothe hour when he planted his standard, deeply dyed at Water- loo, upou the heights of St. Cloud,— Ihose heights, not • manif mites distant from the spot, where his present ad versaiy,. Tbe steady patriot of the world fclone, Ti; e rrleilO ufwrcry country— but hi* own, C Ant ijacobin J- Mr. tluskisson, formerly sat, In amiable fraternity wilh the coiirt- i f Ik- Ts, apostates, levellers, and li- berals ofthe French Revolution— Mr, Huski'sson, who openly associated himself with unfeminine women of . rank, ihe dregs of the aristocracy, the frequenters of clubs and taverns, ig-. no rant of the dirties they assumed, forgetful of the decencies of morality and with- uien, like such women, full of levity and arrogance, desti- tute *> f honour, feeling, principle, and even energy . 5s it for this Liberal of 17* 9 to sit upon the inquest of the Duke's merits?" Is it for such men to estimate the greatness of his. mind by the measure of iheir oicn•? As well might the insect, described in the essay of Addison, strive to comprehend ihe design, the sym- metry, and the magnificence of oar most splendid temple. It was in the natural course of things, that the English Jacobins, discomfited fora tunc by the defeat of their brethren on the Continent, should cherish in secret the. most deadly hatred towards the conqueror. Since the French revolution these men have had two countries— one of birth— the other of opinion and attachment'. They are Englishmen only in name. Their b.-; irts- are in a foreign laud. Jacobin ism- is not local. The holy church of- insurrection is- militant in every kingdom in Europe. I ts patriarchs, saints, an, d professors are numerous hey- ond their separate eoh- , giegatious of undisguised republicans-, Wherever the corrupt nature of man is at work, and the evil passions are strong and' predominant, tliey have a disciple. Without publicly disturbing by plots or inobbish insurrections the peace of their own,, they foment disturbances in every other country. At home, ahey discourage & revile the old English sentiments of chivalrous louilty ; abroad, they regard every foieign legiiimate prince as a tyrant and an usurper. They do not trouble their head*, whether the moral pesti- lence rages at Naples or at Mad/ rid,, or in the do- minions of their owii sovereign. They fetovy perfectly well, that, if one country in Europe ib siMficieufly inoculated by the virus of revolution, tlie contagion will quickly spread. To such men, repenfai. ee is impossible. Forgiveness is not in tlie list of th^ ir virtues. Their best qualities act exactly a » then' worst. They have energy, but it is the energy of the evil principle. They have perseverance, but it is ihe perseverance of malignant spirits. Tbey cherish the same dark and rancorous passions, as their prototype described in Milton,— baffled, like him, and' over- thrown. What though the field be lost'! All Is not lost; the unconquerable will, The study of revenge, immortal hate.-— This is the secret of the deadly quarrel waged against the Duke of Wellington. Vetusatque atitiqua simultas, ImraorlaJe odium, et nunquam sanabile Vulnus. To babble of the infirmities of the great, is pleasing to the envious, the low- minded, the disloyal, and the scoffer. It vitiates the whole moral and constitutional habit of man. Good- natured, easy folks, who think liltle, and that superficially, are easily ensnared by the pretended cant of liberality and freedom. Well is h for them, that their deceivers are not their masters ! Such is the system, composed of different parts, and wielded by men of different minds, but all preserving the same uiiity of purpose, and treading the same fearful path. By the enemies of all governments, a fictitious clamour has in this session been raised against the Duke, for his manly, and constitutional"' resistance as a Peer of Parliament, to the scheme for breaking down, impoverishing, and degradingthe whole landed interest. In the eyes of all gamblers and speculators, his sin is quite inexpiable. He has cut up by the roots the whole harvest of iniquitous jobbing anil calcula- tion, which would have converted every sea. port warehouse into an Exchange for jugglers and specu- lators. He has impugned the canons, and doubted the infallibility of the modern economists. Willi all the higotry of ancient prejudice, lie has preferred the interests of his own country to the'claiins ofa spurious universal philanthropy. lie has shown but little in- dulgence to ihe w hole race of jobbers and speculators for a rise in the market, the holders of bonded corn, fhe patrons of the warehousing system— men, without a single English feeling, or habit, or principle, or connexion, who would cheerfully transfer themselves, nnd their capital together, to any foreign soil, at any hour, for one half per cent, profit upon that capital. Bui he has manfully protected the cultivator of the soil, tbe main sinew of the empire, the country gentleman, the yeomau, the farmer, ond the agricultural labourer. The attack upon the Duke has been throughout wonderfully managed. The hirelings of tlie press performed their pari, as trumpeters of delusion mid falsehood, with vehemence exactly proportioned to the absurdity of their charges. They duly earned their wages ofjiniquitv. Tbe first essay was made hy the " Master- mind," in the insinuation of a charge of cabal. The memory of great, wits, says the old pro- verb, is scanty ; and' Mr. Canning is a wit. _ It was a. bold, unequivocal, deliberate assertion —( plain homely folks would. use another and more appropriate word) — calculated to prodyee a belief that the Duke of Wel- lington, with his noble colleagues, had retired in the spirit of a cabal . This was shamelessly asserted ; and when the falsehood was exposed by Mr. Peel, as . shamelessly RETRACTED. Catherine de Medieis used to say that a lie was as good as a truth— for ha'f an hour. It is, indeed, a pity that Mr. Canning does not privately conform to the dogmas of the Romish faith.. In their hierarchy of saints and angels he has already a patroness of congenial temper and disposition, lo w hom he may offer his orisons. Tiie protection of a female saint is admirably suited to his taste and . habits. The recollection of the day of Saint Bartholo- mew, iu which that, ladv so gloiiously distinguished herself, is an obstacle only to narrow and fastidious minds ; for the blood that was spilled was Protestant.. From, the fond anxiety ofa parent, such as Homer tells us Venus spread over the Phrygian hoy, in his hour oi peril ; it is'not impossible that Mr. Canning, in this • his day of difficulty, may have insensibly derived aid and protection from the grace and intercessions of hi? divine patroness. We tifm from ihe mistakes and misapprehensions of Mr. Canning ( we would not wilfully offend 4< the molles auricula^' of sensitive people) to the friend of . the agricultural interest, the friend of the shipping interest, the friend of the navigation laws— Mr. II us - kissoti. The friendship of some men is sometimes as destructive as their enmity. With parental care he still watches over every branch of commerce, but his care resembles that of Saturn in the fable, who de. voured his own children. He too has shot his puny and pointless Weapon . " Teluin imbelle sine ictu." We appeal to Ibe plain manly sense and discernment of every man of every partyj who hates the base arts of duplicity and equivocation. The letters of Mr. Huskisson are before the world. Is it by such men, and through such means, thatthe exalted character of the Duke of Wellington, the property of the nation, is to he tarnished and sacrificed ? The great Master of the ancient- Greek Comedy is supposed to ha ve outraged nalure and probability, in sketching the, features of the political profligates of his day. Had he lived in the present age, he would have broken his pencil in despair. The accounts of the Quarter's Revenue, which were published on Thursday " nighf, shew an im- provement, though not a very rapid or striking1 one* in the condition of the country. On the Customs and Excise, faken. together, there is an increase of £ 152,000; the Customs taken separately, having increased upwards of £ 200,000, from which a decrease of about one quarter of that amount in. the Excise is to be deducted. The assessed, taxes have increased. *, the Post Office and Stamps somewhat decreased, as well as the Miscellaneous payments. Ou the whole, the increase on the quarter** revenue is £ 45,770. The business of a newspaper, is to communicate • neivs, and we will add that it is the interest, as well as the duty of a public journalist, to do this business industriously as well as faithfully. How then happens it that the Courier, New Times, and all the other rabble of ministerial journals, have been so strictly silent, with respect to Lord Burning's promotion, and the difficulties with which Mr. Canning had to contend in behalf of his friend? Can it be that they acted by order, that they were directed to. say nothing in the hope that . Lord Finning might steal as quietly into the peerage as Lord Piunkett has stolen, to be followed by others of the same Popish stamp, whom Mr. Canning- intends to smuggle into the upper house of parliament, pretty much after the same fashion, and altogether for the same purpose as the ingress ofthe thieves into the Castle of Rokeby? It will not do however; — notwithstanding Mr. John Wilson Crokcr's assur- ance, in all companies and upon all occasions, that " the old Tory party is done;" there are those upon whom such indications of a design to under- mine the constitution by a slow and silent sap will not be lost: and, in defiance of all threats, there are those who will take care to communicate them.— London Packet.

LoJU> X. JYEHFOOL.— Lord Liverpool, since his removal lir Combe Wood, has been slowly gaining trength, nnd it . is perfectly true, os slated the other day in the Court Circular, that he was able to take a short walk in the garden, but we believe it is not generally known that h,;* Lordship has never re- covered the use of his speet. h since his first attack. The most he could articulate " ft 44 Yes," or a No." Rarely he got out half a Sentence, aud when lie did, it seldom expressed what he>. anlP. d ; but of this lie was perfectly conscious, and madfh- Sig'UB with his hand to signify he had not expressed w. haf he wished. In this state, on Saturday morning-, Saudford, of Wimbledon, the . medical gentleman who for many years has attended his Lordship and family; left Lord Liverpool at Combe Wood. Mr. Sandford- has, since his Lordship- s removal from London, con- stantly slept at Com be, leaving it nt about nine in the morning, returning once or twice in the course of each day, and every evening at nine o'clock, for the night. Dr. Drever geuerally visiled his Lordship twice a Week. At nine o'clock on Saturday, Lord Liverpool was, to nil appearance, better than lie had beeu since his removal. The Countess or the Hon. Miss Jenkinson were at all times with him, and the Hon. Mr. Jenkin- son, his Lordship's half- brother and heir to the title, was never absent for so long- a space as an hour. About two o'clock on Saturday last, Lady Liverpool was reading to his Lordship, and feeling a little fatigued, being . herself in a very bad state of health, rang the bell that Miss Jenkinson might be desired to come and relieve her. She had just replaced herself in her chair close to his Lordship, when he rose, and walked to a lable about a yard from'hini, He iinmedi. tely oscloimed 41 cramp, cramp." Lady Liverpool instantly assisted him back to his sent, when she dis- covered him to be in a strong convulsive fit. As the bell had been rung by her Ladyship, she had assist- ance in a moment. A man was on horseback in three minnles, and in three minutes and a half more was at Wimbledon, at Mr. Sandford's house, although the distance is full two miles. Mr. Sandford was fortun- ately at home, and his horse being quite in readiness, he was at Combe Wood within twenty minutes after his Lordship was attacked. Lord Liverpool continued in . a succession of convulsive fits until five o'clock the samt afternoon, when, by bleeding and the application of leeches, they subsided. An express had been early sent off to Dr. Drever, in London, who arrived at Combe Wood soon after five. At this time his Lord- ship, though in the most precarious state, lay quiet and tolerably composed, and continued so during the whole of Saturday night, during which he had repeated slumbers, and was at different times of the night in a composed sleep. He continued much in the same state the whole of yesterday, and up to a late hour last evening. The opinion, we understand, of the medical men, is that his Lordship may in a very limited degree recover from this second attack, but the hope of • ultimate recovery, which was entertained previous to Saturday last, is nearly, if not quite, given up, Last night, between nine and ten o'clock, nn express arrived, from Mr. Canning to know the exact state Lord Liverpool was in at that time. The messenger took back the information, and Mr. Canning iustantly forwarded it to his Majesty, at Windsor. € l) e Salopian journal. WEDNESDAY, JULY 11,1827. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, A mistake appearing to prevail respecting a Bill brought into Parliament, for amending the Law regarding the Relief of able- bodieil Labourers from the Poor Rate, I venture 10 1 rouble yon with a few lines upon the subject, and wiil trusl to your candour to insert them in your next Paper. It seems to lie thought, that it was intended to pass the Bill into a law in itspresent shape ; but this was not the case. Both on moving for leave to bring in a Bill, and on moving the second read hg to fill up the blanks, it was distinctly stated, that there was no intention of pressing forward any measure during that Session ; and , that Ihe present Bill ( as given in your Paper) was. only sketched out to be printed, in order to attract the consideration of: fhe country to its principle ( a very important one, recommended by two committees), viz. some discretionary limitation to the claims of able- bodied labourers, wit limit' pledging any one to the details, either as to the number of children which should exempt labourers from its operation, or the period when it ^ li() vi{ d comniei) cef oi' any other , point of that nature. It was also slated,. at the same time, that on bringing forward any measure ( intended lo pass into a law), it would be- absi> Ucfe*" iy necessary t< » introduce some proviso, lo prevent those labourers who had hitherto had part of their wagfa paid from the poor rale from suffering by an enactment, which was intended not so much to affect existing claimants as lo lessen ( gradually) the number of such applicants for tbe future. For this purpose a clause was pre- pared ( for the consideration of Parliament in the next Session), which would have enabled overseers lo give temporary employment to those really deserving of if, and which would have empowered I hem to prevent farmers from having their work done at half- price ( as is ihe case in some parts of the southern counties) and throwing Ihe labourer on the poor rale for the rest— a practice highly injurious to the poor man, and a fraud upon the parish fund; The principle alluded lo, of a limitation to Ihe power of magistrates in ordering relief, is not new to the law, being introduced in ihe Select Vestry Act passed a few years ago, and which has been generally approved of in practice. Various opinions will, of course, be entertained on any measure of this nature; and an opportunity will be afforded me, at a future time, in a proper placej for clearing up the mistake which has prevailed; hut I was anxious to prevent its being entertained among those whom I am bound to respect and regard. So far from complaining of any observations which may have bftni made upon the sul « j*> et, it must always b* « jrtHUer of congratulation to see the public press alive fa every point connected with the happiness and independence of the poor. It will be remarked, lhat even in tKP present sketch of the Bill there ia an exemption ( on account of the fluctuation of demand for their labour) tV mechanics, artisans, and manu- facturers, and a clauSfc saying the undoubted right of claim of the aged, sick, Iai.

StR,— Having attended the meeting of tbs Bible Society on Wednesday last, 1 was rather struck with » ouie of the observ- ations used on that occasion, relative to the distribution of Bibles to. inns and public houses: and, beihff an innkeeper myself, I felt an apprehension, from the mode in which the subject vvas brought forward, that some of the sneakers thought Bibles were scarce articles ( if not actually unknown) in inns and public houses. In sonie, perhaps, 7 there maybe no Bible, for no class of persons is without a proportion of unworthy members; but I can say for myself, that I have at least half a dozen copies of the Scriptures in my house ; and I believe, that if a Bible were asked for in any public bouse where the landlord is of decent: character, ( and hone others should be permitted to bold licenses,) it would lie found that the Sacred Volume is not a stranger. I peg, however, to say, in that Book 1 find it written—" To every thing there is'a season, and a time to every purpose trader the heaven and, with every respect for the Committee of the Bible Society, I would observe, that time and place' should be well chosen for all purposes. If they suppose, that innkeepers or alehouse- keepers will press or propose tbe consideration of th. Sacred Volume to their customers, who always visit their bouses either for rest, refreshment, or social enjoyment, they will he mistaken; for I do believe that such a course must, on reflec- tion, not only appear highly absurd, but would defeat the object which the Committee, Jio doubt, have conscientiously in view, but which, if they were more acquainted than their Report seems to evince with the general habits of social life, would not have been proposed to be furthered by a plan that cannot, I fear, but excite ideas and feelings in some minds that were never contemplated by those in whptn the scheme originated.

" C. M. W EDI KIND. " JVewtovm, nth June, 1857." Yesterday, at tiie General Quarter Sessions, for the County of Salop, Richard Duce, for stealing horses' gearing, at Mollesden ; and Johu Burton and Francis Barton, for stealing linen and other articles al Hales Owea, were sentenced to six months' imprison- ment to hard labour.— Samuel Davies, for stealing harness at Middle ; aud Morris Jehu, Peter Roberts, and Edward Laugriff, for stealing coals from a brick- yard at Drayton, were sentencfd to three. 1110111118' im- prisonment to hard labour.— John Browp, and Thomas Foley, for n riot and assault at Druvt^ u, aud John Davies, for stealing hay at (' Inn, were sentenced to be imprisoned three weeks lo hard. labour. Committed to our County Gaol, John Edge, charged with stealing a pocket- book, containing £ 6. 19s. 6d. in notes and cash, from tbe person of James Chance, at Hartlebury ; William Jones and Charles Anthony IVade alios IVeate, charged with breaking open and robbing tbe cheese- room of Robert Binnell, at Wroekwardilie f See Advert. J ; and Joseph Thursfield alias Johnson, charged with obtaining £ 3, under false pretences, from Isaac Taylor, of Shiffnal. On Monday, the 2( 1 inst. the coming- of- age of F K. I. eigliton, Esq. ( recorded in our last Journal) was celebrated at the CREW GREEN, in the counly c.- f Montgomery, with every mark of respect. Early in the morning, 21 rounds were fired by two parties, one on the summit of fhe hill and the other in the vale below, emblematical of the age of the gentle- man, during which time three sheep were given away, with a portion of cxcrw da, to the poor ofthe neighbourhood, by Mr. T. Wylde, who afterwards entertained to dinner, at the Manor House, in a style of true old English hospitality, about 200 of his fi- ieitds and tenantry of the estate, when the sonl- reviving goblet circulated briskly, and the u merry chavnt went gaily round."— In the after- noon, the ladies and junior part of the company were treated with a dance on the green, till the shades of evening warned them to retire, when the band went into the house, and the merry dance was kept up with great spirit till a late hour in the mo. rnivig.—- A large beacon- light shone from the top of the hill during greatest part of tho night, around which was quaffed in rustic merriment many a bumper to the health, long life, and happiness of the object of the rejoicings; this tremendous blaze, which was seen at an immense distance, together with the brightly illuminated windows of Mr. Wylde's house, had a very splendid appearance.—• Tbe management of the whole certainly did great credit to the hospitality, exertions, and kiud feel- ings of Mrs. and Mr. Wylde. The 2d instant being tbe day appropriated to rele- brnte, at LLANFYLMN, the marriage of Edward Mostyn Lloyd, Esq, eldest son of Sir Edward Pryce Lloyd, Bart. M. P. of Pengwern Place, wilh Lady Harriott Scott, daughter of the Earl of Clonmell, the happy morn was ushered in by the merry bells wilh a peal of excellent ringing. A large ox aud several sheep bad been purchased for the occasion, with Ibe subscriptions of several of Ihe neighbouring gentry and farmers, to be distributed amongst ( he poor. About seven o'clock, a large bonfire was ignited op- posite tbe Wynnstay Aims Inn, and two of ihe finest sheep were placed before il to roast. The ox, which was uncommonly large, and in fine condition, was handsomely decorated with ribbons aud laurel leaves, and its head and horns beautifully gilded. It was then placed upon a lofty car, purposely made for the occasion, aud drawn by Iwo sleeds covered with while trappings, A procession was then formed, preceded by ail excellent band ; the two butchers, dressed in white and scarlet, bringing up the rear. Afier Ihe ox had been thus paraded through the principal streets of tbe town, nnd visiled Budfach Hall, an ancient scat of the worthy Baronet's family, the ox was taken down, and, with ihe sheep, distributed in the Town, hall to the poor, where n great many ladies and gentlemen had assembled together to witness Ihe interesting and gratifying spectacle. Gratifying it , was, indeed, to behold so many of the infirm, aged, ano osbililaled poor, gathered together with smiling cuunfeii.''|-' ctsi anJ pleasant was it to see tbe lame supported, ;> ir<!

I11 the course of tbe day lbi- re were several races and various athletic games, wi.. irl' tended much to divert the populace and the country people who came into the lown in crowds to enjoy Ihe convivial meet- ing. A great quantity of " The float1. J jWilh" was distributed throughout the day lo the shouting popu- lace ; and, ere Sol bad performed a moiety ot lijt daily career, many of them were " half seas over."— I In the afternoon, several of Sir Edward's tenants, gentlemen, and tradesmen, dined together at the Wynnstay Arms Inn, where a cosily and splendid dinner was served up in ibe usual style and culinary taste of Miss M. Jones. The upper chair was taken by Mr. Foulkes, and the lower by Mr. J. Davies, apothecary. Both gentlemen filled their respective situations wilh great credit. Afler the cloth was removed, several loyal toasts were drank with great enthusiasm, aud were followed by Iheheallhs of E. M. Lloyd, Esq. and Lady Harriott, with 3 times 3 ; Sir E. P. Lloyd, 3 times 3 j Ibe Member for the County, 3 times 3 5 Sec. & c. & c. Mnuy excellent songs were sung during tbe evening wilh tl; .. Jcalest hilarity, aud a variety of beautiful Welsh airs were performed 011 Ihe harp by Mr. VV. Hughes. The party broke up about twelve o'clock, afler spending one of the most convivial meetings ever witnessed at Llanfyllin. The marriage of E. M. Lloyd, Esq. to Lady Harriott Scott, was the occasion of much rejoicing at LLANIDLOES on the2d inst.— A liberal subscription was entered into, and a fax ox and two fine wethers were cut up and distributed, with a suitable quantity of bread and cwrw da, to the poorer classes of the neighbourhood. About 60 gentlemen dined together at the New Inn and Lion Inn, and tbe evening was spent in hilarity aud conviviality.— At TREFEGLWYS and LLANDINAM, the rejoicings were also on an extended scale. . About 500 peasantry were assem- bled and regaled 011 Dolwen Park, and tho elderly females were treated with an ample supply of punch.— It is almost unnecessary to add that the subscriptions for these purposes were most liberal; and that the bells of the several parishes sent forth their cheerful peals. COURT OF CHANCERY.— Morris v. Davies.— On Wednesday, the arguments of Counsel were resumed upon tbe motion for a new trial, and were not con- cluded at the rising of the Court. The further hearing was therefore postponed until the first Seal after Term. Newtown Gas Works, Montgomeryshire.— Thi. spirited and useful undertaking is now in great progress.— The ceremony of laying the first brick of the tank was performed on the 2d inst. by tbe Rev. G. A. Evors, amidst the shouts of a multitude of the inhabitants who had assembled 011 tbe occasion. The instant the brick was laid, the bells struck up a merry peal, and the greatest joy was manifested. Ev cry commendation is due to the proprietor, Mr. John Edge, of Wellington, for his perseverance under many unforeseen difficulties that have arisen since ( he commencement of this work. The church of Newtown, Montgomeryshire, was entered last week by some miscreants, who, it is supposed, were in search of the communion plate, which was fortunately kept in a place of safety elsewhere : they, however, contented themselves with carrying ofi'three surplices and soinefew other articles of little value.— Site Advertisement, Hp HE SCHOOL re- opens on Monday, J- July 23d, 1827.

Political liecora of tlje SSIcslu [ FROM TIIE BRISTOL JOURNAL] Parliament being prorogued with a speech as laconic and uninteresting as ever proceeded from the Throne, reiterating merely the promises of what the new Administration intend to do the next Session, Mr. Canning and Lord Goderich have at length got a little breathing time, and it is already announced lhat numerous changes are immediately to take place, all in favour of the Whigs, into the meshes of whdse: power and intrigues the Premier is now• completely.: involved. u Mr. Canning,, r The Times says, 4< will return to the Foreign Ofiice ; tbe Duke of Portland is thought likely to succeed to Mr. Canning's present situation, and the Marquis of Lansdovvne takes the Home Department. It is not improbable, also, that Lord Holland may take some office. No change will be made iu the Government of Ireland before Christ- mas." And is this the Administration which was to have been formed on the principles of that of the Earl of Liverpool? We are promised, it is true, both in the Speech from tbe Throne, and by the Ministers in Parliament, a " careful revision of the Financial State of the Country, with a view to every diminution of expenditure which maybe found consistent with the necessary demands of the public service, and with the permanent interests, good faith,' and honour of the nation." This promise, 110 doubt, tfas extorted by the Whigs, and may or may not be fulfilled,; But let us see what other measures of the Liberal Cabinet are iii contemplation. First, we shall have a permanent set- tlement of tbe Corn Laws, upon the basis, no doubt, of the rejected bill, with the proviso, it should be added, that Mr. Canning can . secure an ascendancy in the House of Lords, by ihe creation of new Peers. Secondly, the repeal of tbe Corporation and Test Acts. Thirdly, the bill is a gain'- to betaken up, which was this Session nearly carried, for legalizing a sys- tem of Marriages by civil contract, before the civil Magistrate; a measure such as Was established, says a popular writer, in France in the worst times of the Revolution, and which has1 since been abolished, even in that country ; a measure, too, which the venerable Lord Eldon declared, that if passed into a law, he would no longer act as a Magistrate of the land. And lastly, every means is to be tried to carry, by the covert strength of the Ministry, the all- important question of Catholic Emancipation. Such are a few of the points most vitally affecting the welfare of the country and the safety of the constitution, which will employ all the talent and address of the Ministry to concoct and arrange during the recess. The dis- tresses of the Manufacturers are passed over with a brief allusion, that there are " indications ofa gradual revival." But the depressed Shipping Interests are left to work their own cure; and to the Currency question Ministers dared not even allude. But these three subjects cannot remain dormant and unheeded* They will force themselves upon the Ministry, whe- ther Ihey have courage to look them in the face or not ; and he must be devoid of every spark of patriot- ism and feeling for the welfare of his country, who can contemplate without fear and trembling the agi- tation of all these great questions by a Ministry amal- gamated like the present. THE SHIPPING INTERESTS AND RECIPROCITY SYSTEM.— In Blackwood's Magazine for the preset*! month there is a most able article upon the Shipping Interests, supported by fact's and figures, taken from official documents, which must, we conceive, con- vince the most sceptical, that the Shipowners bad a case of the most pressing and imperative description, which Parliament was in duty bound to inquire into. But their distress, and the evidence touching its causes, the writer well observes, formed a charge against the Ministry, which if substantiated, would have been sufficient for depriving them of official reputation and existence. They were, therefore, impelled by personal interest to underrate the distress, conceal the causes, and resist inquiry to the utmost.— The parties of which the House of Commons consists were also committed with the Ministry, They bad supported tbe abolition of the Navigation Laws ; they had sanctioned the Reciprocity Treaties. In doing this, the Whigs and Radicals had been the loudest. They were, therefore, put upon their defence, as well as the Ministry. They were compelled to array them- selves against the Shipowners, or to admit that they had promulgated erroneous principles, and assisted in making destructive changes. The Ministry and the House of Commons were, therefore, accused parties, instead of being disinterested judges. General Gas- coy lie's motion came on, too, at a very unfortunate period. The new Ministry hail just been formed, and it vvas felt by itself and its friends that the smallest concession to the Shipowners would injure its charac- ter, and go far towards its annihilation. The heads of the new Opposition were also pledged against the motion. Party excitement was at its highest pitch, and it was wholly iu favour of the Ministry. The House of Commons, as a whole, desired 110 discussion — it desired to hear Mr. Huskisson, and him only ; and it was prepared to believe every thing lie ad- vanced.— Mr. Huskisson has thought proper to pub- lish his speech, and we are glad to find, that in the closet and through the press it has had, and will continue to receive, some most triumphant refutations, and none more convincing than that from which we are quoting, and of the figures and calculations in which we hope shortly to avail ourselves. In the mean time we extract from Meyers's Liverpool Advertiser the following more recent example of the evils arising from the Reciprocity System. It con- tains the arrival of vessels from Prussia, at Liverpool, with the produce of that country, a large portion of it Grain, from the 4th of June last to the 9th inclusive.* Now, what did Mr. Canning say on that occasion ? We have referred to ilie report in our own paper, and find what he said to have been the following :— Geutlemeh, if 1 were remaining in flu's country, and con tinning to take my part in: Parliament, 1 should continue to walk iu the same'direction ; but I'think,.( and, as 1. may not elsewhere have an opportunity of expressing this opinion, 1 am desirous: of expressing- it here), 1 think, that, after the experience of a fruitless struggle o| more than ten years, I should, as an individual ( speaking- fof none but myself, and not knowing- whether- 1 carry any otlier person's opinion with me), lie induced from henceforth, or, perhaps, after one more general trial,— To seek upon that question a liberal com pro- mirather than persevere in fightings perhaps ten years more in^ vain, for Unqualified concession. V I migbt- liave had some hesitation,- under other circun*. sfances, in making this avowal, knowing that it is generally an easier/ as well as a prouder, course to persevere even in what is hopeless, than fairly to avow a disposition to compro- mise. But in what I say on this occasion, I can have 110 ather object than to declare a sincere opinion. I alluded, in recent debates, in the House of Commons, to the policy of accepting partial concessions, and to my rcgre( that 1 had once been myself a party to t he refusal ' of them. I have since revolved the subject much in my mind ; and I Confess, that next to the immediate success of the whole measure, which I have as much aS ever at heart, 1 should wish, as well for the benefit of those most immediately concerned, as for the general peace of the kingdom, to see such an arrangement as should remove all practical causes of complaint, on the one side, without inciting vague and indefinite apprehensions on the other; referring to a raor. e favourable opportunity, and to the pro- gress of public opinion, that complete and final settlement, of which I shall never ccase to maintain the expediency as well as thejustice. n That in these words Mr. Canning meant to. hold out a lure to Lord Eldon, Lord Liverpool, and the then Tory administration to take hini into office, and lie would be a moderate man, nnd say little about the Catholics, is Mr. Brougham's interpretation, not our's. But supposing it to be a just interpretation, has it no resemblance whatever to Mr. Brougham's own conduct now ? and what share, then, according to Mr. Brougham's own opinion of such matters, does he merit of that general censure contained in the words " a most flagrant truckling of principle for place h" MiRato nomine de ie fabula narratur.— The words are a irite quotation, but were never surely more per- tinently applied. Mr. Brougham, in his speech, avows his own perfect consistency, unimpeachable integrity, and high disinterestedness. The above, which, be it still remembered, is Mr. Brougham's own opinion of like conduct in another, it a good comment upon that text of consistency, integrity, and disinterestedness. Let us turn now to that which was the most remark- able part of the learned gentleman's oration— that, namely, in which, to the surprise of ali his hearers, he eagerly avowed that the late Lord Chancellor, so far from, being in any respect an obstruction to his professional advancement, gain, or interest of any sort, had been directly the reverse, and that he who supposed that he ( Mr. Brougham) owed to that learned superior in his profession any thing but obligation, knew nothing of the matter. We remember an occasion ( that is, we remember the perusal of the occurrence,) when the late Lord Erskine, pleading in court, was so roused and excited by the subject, that he was not deemed to have offended the ear of the court, who had a feeling exactly the same as himself 011 the subject, when he ventured to introduce an oath into his harangue, " swearing'' by -—- the matter, fact, or person was above all common terms of indignant censure. In writing oh this subject, we hardly can refrain from following- Ibis example, and swearing that this is too had. 5• Can Brougham affect ignorance of the daily abuse ofvthe, newspapers of that great person ( Lord Efdou), of which the supposed neglect of, or hostility to, the pretensions of Mr. Brougham in his profes- sion was the theme ; and how is it he never conde- scended before to contradict the general belief on the subject. But, perhaps, he is too much engrossed by business to read the daily papers. Is he, then, . equally unobservant of the very periodical to which lie himself contributes: has he not seen the same thing repeated over and over again in the pages of the' Edinburgh Revieio ? Or, lastly, does he not read what he himself writes? We think we cannot mis- take the style of the . following passages.. We have the most perfect confidence they are Mr. Henry Brougham's own writing. " Is," says he, speaking of the office of Lord Chancellor, " is the service done for nothing? Is an absolute and uncon- trolled power over the whole profession of the law, and th* gratification . annexed to the indulgence of PARTIAL AFFBCTIOK, nothing7" Can the meaning of this be mistaken ? Read again, then,— Admitting what he calls the penny integrity, that is the superiority to a vulgar tribe, in the Lord Chan- cellor, he ( the writer of the article in the Edinburgh Review, Mr. Henry Brougham,) demands a higher species of integrity from such an individual, as-- " To look down from that great elevation to which bis m rr i t or his for tune lias raised nim, upon the subjected pro- fession, wfth care, and watchfulness, and impartiality; to deal with every man placed under his great and^ absoTute nower, according" to his merits, and according to his merits only ; to chase a Way tlie importunities of power, if they should attempt to traverse the even and lofty tenour of his course; to obtain a noble, victory over jealousies, and animosities, and resentments, if such should assail him, and to render the transcendant dignity of the office superior to the natural and iuevitabU frail ties' 6f the man." Such is Mr. Brougham's own language. Every one referred it to himself. The calumny did its cer- tain service; and when the Lord Chancellor has retired, the same man avers— never having hinted at such a thing before— he avers that the interpretation was a mistaken one • that he never owed any thing but obligation to Lord Eldon. Is not this nice and dalicate honour and integrity? That the- work in which it is engaged is most bene- ficial to individual* and to the community, no one surely can doubt who does not also doubt Of the importance of religion, of the due observance of the Sabbath, and of a regular attendance on public worship. Every sincere christian vvill acknowledge that these are points of paramount importance; and every member of the Church of England wilj feel it to be scarcely less important that her places uf worship should, as far as it may be practicable, afford, accom. modaiion to all who wish to join in her pure ritual and to benefit by her sound instructions. Towards the attainment of this most desirable object, some approaches have been made, nor will the Society stop short in despair of approaching furl her. It vvjll a^ ain lay its case before the public when its finances shall be exhausted, in ibe confident and reasonable hope lhat the friends of religion, seeing what has been accom- plished, and considering whai si ill r- jmins to be done, wili, by their liberality, enable Ihe, Society 10 persevere in the work of benevolence for which it was estab- lished." Protest on the Warehoused Com BUL DISSENTIENT. . First,: Because- the existing corn law would, by the proposed measure, be infringed, as had been done 011 former occasions, without any plausible pretext, and in a manner that must very justly, tfs vyel 1 as very generally, excite the distrust and discontent of the owners and occupiers of land. Second, Because the proposed measure would with- draw. from them the protection which was wisely and properly granted to them by the existing corn law, and would thus violate their rights, and endanger the security of their properties. Third, Because the prices at which wheat is now, and has for many months past been, sold in this country, are very low, and are not such as indicate a deficiency of produce, or such as would require the introduction into the markets of a large quantity of bonded wheat. Fourth, Because the sale of that bonded wheat ( some of which was imported at prices that were lower by one- half than those which were obtained at the same time by the growers of wheat in this country), might very much tend to depress ihe markets at home, and. would thus, with manifest injustice, inflict great injury upon the agricultural, and consequently upon all other classes of the community.

We apprehend these also are not ihe Foreign Vessels which, as Mr. Huskisson stated, formed one- fourth of the Foreign tonnage, and which were principally employed in bringing eggs and bones to the shores of Britain 11!

J Our readers are well aware of the altered tone Mr. Brougham has adopted oo the question of Catholic emancipation. Doubtless, that moderation, and that disposition to defer the question till another more suitable season, nud that zealous inculcation of pa- tience to the petitioners, contrasting finely with the habitual use of language on the same subject, urging all but the exercise of force— doubtless, we say, this lias all excellent reason, if we could discern it, nnd is not at all connected with his accession to the govern- ment party. But we shall, just by way of curiosity, refer to tiie learned gentleman's opinion of conduct somewhat similar, as he at least believed, in tha! dis- tinguished person whotn he pleases to call his political rival. Every body remembers the remarkable occasion on licli Mr. Canning told Mr. Brougham, that what wh id was false!" It was the 19th of April, 1823, And what was it he did say ? Why, this— that on a certain occasion ( afterwards explained to tie the- occa. sion of his dining, in 1S22, with the people of Liver- pool), he had, hy what he said oil the subject of the Caiholic question, displayed the most flagrant instance of truckling principle for pluce that the history of party records, by holding out to the view of the men then in power ( ii was the moment when tbe death of Lord Castlereagh had left the Foreign Office vacant and accessible to Mr. Canning), lhat lie was disposed to abate something of his earnestness ou that great question, if admitted to office. The following is extracted from the Annual Report, read to ihe Society at the last anniversary :— u The Committee, in the performance of their duty, have lo state to the friends of the institution, that during Ihe last year 81 applications have been received, and that in 54 cases grants have been voted to the amount of £ 9,9.0.5. Jly the aid of that sum 15,591 additional sittings will be procured, uf which number 11,301 are to be free and unappropriated. According to the statement. of contributions, & c. it appears that during the nine years in which the Society has been in opera lion, it has received 835 applications; that iu 507 case3 grants of various magnitudes have been voted, lo which, in 75 instances, additions have been made, io cdnscqucnce of tiie increased accommodation offered, amounting in the whole to £ 110,295 ; hut as, from different causes, several grants have, been relin- quished, the sum which the Sucicty has either actually paid, or has pledged itself to pay, is £ 99,065, a small expenditure when compared with ihe good which it has accomplished. The disposable balance now remaining is only £ 7,767.19s. 6d. a sum not equal to lhat which the Committee have felt il Iheir duty' lo vute during the last twelve months.— What, then must hecome of the many calls for assistance which Ihere is every reason to expect will continue to be received; for if Ihe number of applications in the lasl year has fallen short of that in each of ihe three preceding years, still it has exceeded Ihe number in each of the three which went before. Il is, therefore, presumed, that if Ihe Society continues to exist, it will continue for a long period to receive applications for aid. Who, indeed, cau suppose lhat all which is necessary to be done by il, for the increase of Church accommodation, has been accomplished during the lasl nine years? No one will surely think thus who considers the increased and increasing population of tbe country, and the consequent want of accommoda- tion for numbers who are desirous of attending Ihe service of Ihe Established Church. In some few places, perhaps, flit re may be a spacious edifice without a proportionate population ; but in how many more is Ihe very reverse of this Ihe case? The numerous churches and chapels which have lately risen in. many of these parishes, are a gratifying proof of ihe benefits which have resulted from parliamentary grants. The spiritual wants of a great body of Christians have thus been supplied, but these grants, it must always be borne in mind, are restricted lo one object— the building of additional new churches in places where the population amounts to at least 4,000 persons. There is, therefore, a very great proportion of parishrs to which they are inapplicable, and il is in Ihese that the Society has, in different ways, contri- buted to ibe procuring of a large increase of accom- modation. lu several cases, churches or chapels were lo be enlarged ; in others Ihey were to be rebuilt with enlargement; in some instances, from Ihe extent of the parish, it., was necessary to build an additional church or chapel ; and in many places ampler accom- modation was lo be procured without any enlarge- ment of the fabric, by a new arrangement of pews aud by other improvements.— Thus has the Sociely heen itislrumental in providing additional church room lor i, i9,293 persons, nnd in securing; out of lilts number 103,093 free and unappropriated sitting*. Hindi, theu, has been already effected hy this institu- tion. During each year of its existence accommoda- tion has betn provided, on an average, for more than 15,000 persons, in various churches antl chapels which were insufficient to receive the population of iheir respective parishes. In this its business of doing good, the Society will proceed as loug as it possesses the means of complying with the applications for ils assistance, which will doubtless continue to be made. Among the Bills which received the Royal Assent on the 2d inst. were the Warehoused Corn Bill and the Corn Averages Bill. The 1' armer't Journal considers the latter Bill favourable to the Agricul- turist: " Instead ( says the Editor) of confining the return of averages to the Maritime districts of England— by which means the nominal prices are advanced 5s. above the true prices, and, therefore, 10s. cut away from the protecting barrier between English and Foreign growers— the House of Lords resolved to take the averages generally from the principal towns of Great Britain and Ireland. This is an important point, and, as experience will prove its necessity and utility, we hope that henceforth it will never be abandoned." It is thought that up to Saturday ( the last day of admission) one million quarters of foreign grain will be bonded in this country. By the Mesne Process Bill, just passed, no one can now be arrested for debts under £ 20. This is a heavy blow on Common- Law Practitioners, and a caution to all persons how they give credit for small sums. Mr. GULLY— This celebrated sporting character is said to have netted between £ 5000 and £ 6000 by his bets at our Races.— Cheltenham Chronicle. Two persons recently took a small house in Worcester, " and obtained goods of various tradesmen. They decamped last week towards Gloucester. On opening the house, nothing was found hut a few empty sacks. The facility with which too many tradesmen give credit to those of whom they know nothing, affords encouragement to swindlers, who were never more numerous than at this moment, DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-- A melancholy accident occurred early nn Friday morning, at the factory of Mr. Thomas Kearsley, at Tyldesley Bank, Man- chester, by the explosion of a steam- engine boiler, attended with the loss of at least eight lives. Seventeen reelers, all females, % v » re at work exactly over the boiler, in the fifth and highest story, when the explosion took place. They were all precipi- tated violently to the ground, amongst the ruins of the walls and roof of the building. Seven of them were either taken up dead or expired within a few minutes afterwards ; six were so dreadfully injured as to cause great doubts of their recovery, but the remaining four, most providentially, were com- paratively little injured. Several among the suf- ferers were married women, antl have left children behind them. The engineer, who was in attendance on the engine, was found dead within the boiler- house. From the position iu which he lay, it ap- pears probable that lie was, at the moment of the explosion, fjxamining the safety valve, having from some unusual appearance suspected that something was amiss. The accident, it has since clearly appeared, was occasioned l> y an unfortunate over- sight on the part of the engineer. Another mill full of work- people adjoined, but fortunately the gable end of the building was proof against the shock, or the consequences would have been fata! indeed. MURDER— On Tuesday morning, Ihe Rev. J. J, Waterhouse, B. D. residing nt Ihe rcclory of Little Slnkelcy, near Huntingdon, about 55 years of age, and of very eccentric habits, was found murdered iu his house; and as plunder does not appear to have been the object of Ihe party or parties hy whom the horrid deed was committed, it is supposed lo have originated in revenge for some real or supposed grievance.— The deceased kept no servant thai slept in his house, and the body, which was dreadfully mangled, was discovered lying upon a mash tub bv some labourers whom he employed about bis ground. — A verdict of wilful murder has been returned, and one person is iu custody on suspicion of being Ihe murderer. It is our painful task to mention tbe death of Mr. Thomas Loton, a respectable farmer of Acton Beau- champ, in this county, occasioned by his own bull. It appears that Mr. Loton, on Tuesday afternoon last, weut into bis fold- yard, for the purpose of driving the bull into another inclosure, when the animal attacked him, and, despite of his endeavours to beat him off with a pike, knocked him down with great force upon the paved yard, by which he was so much injured upon the head and other parts of the body, that he died almost immediately aft being conveyed into his ho.: se. Yesterday, an I nquest was held upon the body before Mr. W, Smith, Coroner, when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned, with a deodand of 2s. 6d. upon the bull. The deceased was a single man, about 50 years of age, and generally esteemed. The bull, we understand, was reared by himself, and up to this unfortunate casualty had been always tractable and free from vice, but the uncertain temper of these animals is such that it is most necessary to be always on the guard and careful in approaching them. It is somewhat remarkable, that a friend, a few weeks before the accident, observing Mr. Loton caressing the bull, cautioned him to beware of it, at the same time too truly prophesying, " you are bringing up that animal to be tiie death of you."— Worcester Herald, July 7. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, Bristol, last week, H. R. Reynolds, Esq. the Commissioner, took an opportunity of stating, that it was extremely wrong for creditors to abandon all exertion in re- covering property of insolvents; at th » present moment there were upwards of £ 15,000 in the hands of Commissioners, as unclaimed dividends under insolvencies; and the public should also be in- formed, that the great advantage whieh a process in this Court possessed ' » « « orfnicrupl laws was, that all future properly of an insolvent, whether from legacy or other melius, was always liable to be attached by a creditor. It is stated in the French Papers that his Catholic Majesty the King of Spain, is at variance with the Pope, and threatens to recal his Minister from the Court of Rome, and to order t'ne Papal Charge d'Affairs to quit Madrid, in consequence of Ihe Holy Father providing for the spiritual comfort of the quondam Spanish Colonies in South America, by appointing Bishops to the vacant Sees. SOUTH AMERICA.— The American papers to the 10th ult. contain accounts, from various quarters, of proceedings in South America, which are noFrery favourable. New republics find it uo easv task to govern themselves, or to get themselves goverifeil in a satisfactory manner ; and the ministers are. changed, and constitution revised, till few men of eminence care to offer themselves to become the former, aud nobody can tell what Ihe latter is. There has been an insurrection of the Columbian troops in Peru, in consequence of fhe Electoral College of Lima having accepted the Bo'livarian Con stitution, and Bolivar as President for life. At Valparaiso, it seems, the Congress has been dissolved by. the . military, and the wrifer who communicates this fact adds:—" I hardly know what to say to y- u ou the subject of liberty in Chili,; the revolution has triumphed over tlio hated dominion of Old Spain, but I am too fearful civil Wars will follow." Harmony is asserted to have been restored betwee'i the Emperor of Brazil and tho Government of tbs United States. Accounts from Buenos Ayres of the 21st of April announce further successes achieved by the Re' publicans over the forces sent by the Emperor of Brazil against them. A Brazilian expedition ap- pears to have been completely defeated, and of four ships of war, all but one corvette lia- l fallen into the hands of their opponents. This affair took place on the 7th of March. , On the same day it seems Admiral Brown, with four sail, was " attacked by twenty- two of the enemy's ships. Two of tfi'e Brazilian vessels ran aground, and were destroyed after a long and vigorous resistance. Admiral Brown was wounded, and Captain Drummond, of the Independence; and Lieuteuaut Thomas wer » killed. ' The Austrian Observer contains an article h- a'tled Vienna, June 22, stating most afflictive intelligence' to have been received from Styria, Cariuthia, and the lyrol of ravages caused bv inundation. Houses and bridges have been swept awav, roads broken up, and the villages are changed iirto extensive lakes. Two- thirds ofthe houses iu the market town of Sillian have been under water to the second story for a month. Tlie long- continued rai„=, and the melting of the snow, have loosened lar- e masses of earth, which came down from the sides'of the mountains, and swept away the dwellings antl fields in the sight of the unhappv owners It is added, many lives have bceii unhappily lost in these disasters. GREECE.— The statement contained in the Paris Papers of the final surrender of the Acropolis to the Turks, is confirmed by the arrival of the dispatches to our Governm- nt from Sir Frederick Adatn. The garrison capitulated ou the 2 I. ult anl the terms grant ed by the Pacha were, we understand' the same, or nearly so, a. those previously offered and rejected.

Hi, Lordship's decisions with res , ect to Joint- Stock Schemes, whenever such things h'ave come before him, must be equally unpalatable to this class of persons.

The Anniversary Meeting of the Subscribers and friends to this Institution took place on Wednesday. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese ( the Patrim of the Society) was present; and the attendance, particularly of Ladies, was numerous and highly respectable. The President, Archdeacon CORBETT", having taken the chair, the Rev. J. LANGLEY, one of the Secretaries, read the Report, from which we learn that the free contributions of the Society during the last year had amounted to £ 500, and that £ 426. 19s. 9d. had been remitted to the Parent Society, for Bibles and Testa- ments.— The loss of Bishop Heber, and of other friends of the Society, during the last year, was deplored ; but it was considered highly consolatory, that under these visitations the Society was still enabled to maintain its wonted scale of prosperity and usefulness.— The Com- mittee, iu their Report, announce the fact, that a num- ber of Brevier Bibles had been distributed to various of the Inns in the town of Shrewsbury, for the use of the visitors; and it was suggested, whether it would not be desirable that an extension of this proceeding to other inns and public houses should take place. The total number of Bibles nnd Testaments issued by this Aux- iliary since its formation is 33,482. The Rev. Archdeacon COKBETT said :•— Before I moie upon this Report, and with reference to these annual memorials, I would observe, that as there is a retrospective power in the mind of man that enables him to compare the present with the past, so the business of life, like the vicissitudes of nature, is gene- rally so slow in its progress, that we must frequently carry this retrospection some length, if we would judge aright of the objects that i- ire before ns. It is not many months since the fields around looked hare and barren, though now clothed with luxuriant vegetation; but who could have pointed out, through the interval that has passed, the daily growth of lhat grass and grain, which is now so palpable, and which shews, by comparison, so wonderful an increase; thus since we last met together, the good work of contribution and distribution has been goingon in our Society; but it is from the retrospective view taken in the repor! that has been jiint read, that we learn the sum total of the advance that has been made in that time; that we learn how many more hundred pounds have been col- lected among ns, how many more hundred copies of holy writ have been thrown into circulation ; and if we extend this comparative review from the beginning of the past year to the cradle of our constitution, and look « , t the aggregate of what has from thence arisen, why then, with respect both to money and to books, instead of counting bv hundreds, we are enabled to count by thousands! And if we carry this retrospection still further, nnd to that auspicious era, when the British and Foreign Bible Society was formed, how wonder- fully, then, is our arithmetic improved ! we ore no longer confined to thousands, hut are enabled to note on to millions : we have thence the satisfaction of seeing, that in the short space of three. nnd- twenty years, the Christian charity of this country has furnished between one and two millions of money for the propagation of God's word ; and that in the same space of time be- tween four and five millions of copies of that word, issuing from ( his depot of piety alone, and exclusive of its foreign influence, have been added to what ? may call tbe circulating medium of heaven and earth !— I have been led, perhaps, into this view of the subject, be- having recently looked into that multifarious poem, The Task of Mr. Covvprr, where I wns much struck by his observations upon the importation into, and deportation from this country, of a native of the Society Isles, called Omai. He represents him ns brought hither, that " he may witness " With what superior skill we can abti3 « " The gifts of Providence, and squander life." lie, then, with his wonted feeling, shews him return- ed to his native country, but incapable of again partici- pating iu its simple pleasures, from the luxuries he had been introduced to here : he further describes him as climbing day by day the highest hills, and looking- thence with anxious eye upon the expanse of ocean, if haply he may descry a sail from England bending towards his shores, in hopes of thence filling the void he novv feels in his mind by a recurrence of the sophis- ticated pleasures of civilized life: he then addresses his 44 gentle savage," as he terms him, in these words : — " Alas!'. expect it not. ' We found no bait 4i To tempt us in thy country. Doing- good, " Disinterested good; is not our trade " We travel far, ' tis true, but not for nought: 11 And must be brib'd to compass earth again " By other hopes and richer fruits than yours." Now, I beg leave to make two observations on these words. . Now, I was old enough when Omai wns brought lo this country to know something of the circumstances, and 1 am well aware, that the persons who brought him here, and the persons with whom lie was more immediately associated, were not those from whom much religious or moral improvement could be expected; but he Was not confined to their society exclusively, there was at least one citizen of the metro- polis who felt for his situation, as he did for that of every oue lie could hope to benefit. Mr. Granville Sharp ( in the same spirit lhat led him so many years afterwards to accept fhe chair at the first meeting of the Bible Society) sought out this untutored stranger : endeavoured to discover what ideas he had of those ideas : he drew"" out" tf/ r'^ lft Wll.^ J.' X'J ™ English language, in such sort and with such observa- tions as may facilitate the learning of that language in the case before him: and from the account he favoured me with of his conversations 44 u it h M r. Om& i 11 ( as he, in his urbanity, used to address him,) I have no doubt ' hat his notions of a Divine Providence were much exalted— his notions of the moralities of social life were much corrected ; but though 5 could not avoid these observations, they are somewhat beside my pur- pose in the quotations I have made on this occasion, which was for the sake of pointing out ( he happy want of coincidence between the prophetical part of ' them, and the countries to which they are applied. And I do this without any hesitation, for I am con- vinced no one would have rejoiced more at fhe failure of his prediction than llie pr. phel himself, had he lived to witness the change that has taken place; no one would have been sooner attracted by tbe rising cloud of the Bible Society : he would have hailed it w hen 44 no bigger than a man's baud," and no one would have exulted more at the fertilizing showers that have thence fallen throughout the earth, however they may have contributed to contradict the prospectus he had formed. He has told us, indeed, that 44 doing good"—" disin- terested good, was not our trade ;" but how true soever this may have been as a general censure, yet we know that in addition to individual and brilliant exceptions, there were at that time some societies formed for the maintenance of a purer commerce. But societies of that description are now so multiplied; ( he ad ten hirers in this better traffic are now so numerous, that it may be liteialty said 44 ottr little ones are become a thousand ;" nor will it be denied'that the Bible Society is at least the first partner" in this extended firm of charity and love. No one can feel more deeply than mjself the imperfection of all human endeavours ; still it would he ungrateful not to record the missions that have been now established in the South Sea Islands; it would be ungrateful not to recount the translations of Scripture that have been made for the benefit of the inhabitants of those islands; nor should we omit to mention the natives that have been brought hither for the sole pur- pose of instructing them in fhe truth of the Gospel. We have then again " travelled far," and truly 44 not for nought, but hnW different a meaning does that assertion convey When coupled with these facts! We have 44 again compassed earth," aud with 44 other ho^ es" than those that floated in the poet's fancy : we hat e 44 again compassed earth," and for 44 richer fruits" than entered into his imagination'. We have compassed earth in the hope of imparting of the light we have graciously received to those who were sitting in darkness and the shadow of death," and our reward is in the 44 richer fruits," the fruits of righteousness, to which we hope and trust that light may lead. But I must hasten to a conclusion. Every topic connected wiih the proceedings of the Bible Society comprehends more interesting facts than can be detailed on a sum- mer's day. I will, therefore, only state, that it is now between 40 and 50 years since the poem of the'Task was published, and we haveseen what were the present views and future projrpe. ts af that time, of a most accurate observer of men and things-, of one who, if he' would 44 extenuate nought," would still 14 set down nought in malice." In somewhat more than' 20 years after this time, tbe British aud Foreign Bible Society was insti- tuted, and in less than 20 years more, Mr. Hughes, one of the Secretaries of lhat Society— and one whom, whether we view him in that capacity, or as the person through whom the suggestion of ihe Society itself came, we must pronounce blessed in his deed"— it is now, I say, some years since Mr. Hughes exhibited upon this spot, and to the company then assembled, translations of the Gospel, printed in the language of Otaheite, the very Island from which Omai came, and which together gave rise to the melancholy forebodings we have considered; and we read iu the report printed by tfic Parent Society in the last year, that these translations, under the aid and patronage of that Society, were still going o: n, and that the whole popu- lation of the South Sen Islands may be looked upon as under a course of school instruction, and in which the great class- book was the revealed will of God. if, then, we Compare the relative situation of England, and these Islands, in a period previous to the formation of the Bible Society,' with the present state of those relations, we see how great and blessed an alteration has taken place, and may say, as it was once said by the multitude to Barnabas and Paul, 44 what wonders hath God w rought among the Gentiles ?" and when, to the rapid march O'f truth in this one direction only, we add its accelerated progress throughout the world, and to all which the Bible Society has so materially contributed, may we not humbly hope that some approximation has been made to the time promised by Isaiah, in the prophecy reiterated by St. John, the time 44 when all the children of fher GeiifiFes shall be taught of the Lord, and when great shall' be the peace of their children?" Aud can there be a greater stimulus to future exertions than the clear view we may thus obtain of the success, under God's blessing, of the exertions already made ; for wherever the same kind of Comparison is made, the result will be the same. But I will hot enler into this consideration, both because 1 have already trespassed K11 ill ciently upon your time, and because any thing- I could say would appear feeble and insipid, and particu- larly ill timed in the presence of tbe Hon. and Right Rev. the Patron of this Institution, who,, at the late anniversary of the Parent Society, pointed out the necessity of perseverance with so much impression aud detail, so much piety aud power, and in vvhich he was ably seconded by another prelate of our church ; und 1 am sure you will all agree with me, that his Lordship, under all the circumstances of his appearance among us this day, has given f « » M and unequivocal proof in his own person, of the ex< * t uns he then and there recom- mended. The Rev, Mr. KKMPTHORNR, after observing that, being a stranger, he had not entertained the expectation that he should have been called upon to address the meeting, adverted to that part of the Report which recommended the distribution of Bibles to the various inns, for the use of those who visit them ; and he pointed out an instance lhat had occurred on that very morning, of a gentleman being highly gratified to find a copy of the Sacred Volume in his room at an inn in Shrewsbury : the plan was, lie thought, most praise- worthy and judicious. Another part of the Report had touched upon the division of opinion that had existed among the Members of the Society ; hut ex- cept, as far as regarded purity of canon and purity of translation, there were no grounds of difference hut those arising from trifling inadvertencies, which were only pointed out to be corrected, and which were im- mediately rectified. So that the Members of the Society must consider themselves indebted to the giver of all good for these slight trials, w hich, if submitted to in a spirit of humiliation, would be overruled for the benefit of the Institution whose interests they had met to promote.— The Rev. Gentleman concluded by second ing the motion that the Report be adopted and printed PANTON CORBETT, Esq. M. P. in proposing the vote of thanks to the Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, said it would not become him in the presence of the honourable Prelate, to speak in the language of de- served eulogy : at the same time he felt it his duty to express the gratitude of the Society for liis distin- guished patronage and presence; and he would also embrace the opportunity of congratulating the meeting on the wide spread of the Holy Scriptures, and on the increase of Bible Societies which was taking place i every part of the world. He was induced to make this observation from having read some information com tnunicated by Mr. Hamilton, who had been the Conn missioner from this country to the new state of Colum hia, in South America; iu which the Colonel mentions tbe formation of a Bible Society at Bogota, under tbe patronage of the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Finance, which meeting bad been held in the convent of St. Domingo, where the Inquisition had formerly been seated, and at which meeting one of the late Friars of the Convent officiated as Secretary.— Until lhe formation of ibis Society, the people of Columbia were in utter ignorance of tbe Sacred Volume. ROBERT BURTON, Esq. seconded the motion. The Lord Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY said, although he found himself called upon to return thanks for compliments lhat he liltle deserved, jet he felt happy to undertake the office, as it afforded him the opportunity of expressing his assurance of attachment to the Institution, and of saying how much the Society was indebted to their venerable and excellent Pre- sident, who must ever receive the cordial and grateful thanks of ev; ery real christian in the county. It hail long been the practice of Englishmen to meet to discuss grievances and to propose remedies ; but it often happened that the supposed grievances were either imaginary or exaggerated, and the consequence was that I he remedies were sometimes fallacious and at others of doubtful result. They, now, however, met to cure the g rievance of sin, and the remedy w hich they sought to administer for that grievance was one of sovereign power. They met for a purpose in which all bene- volent minds could co- operate, and in the spirit of harmony and good will. It was not only a pleasure but a duly in him to attend on this occasion; and he rejoiced to find that their love for the cause of Bible Society was not diminished, and that their zeal was not slackened. Wheu he considered the numerous calls that there had been on the inhabitants of this county for their benevolence during the last year— for the Distressed Manufacturers, for the New Infirmary, and • for other purposes— he was delighted, nay astonished, to find that the funds of the Society had not decreased •. it was a gratifying proof of their peiseverance and of their invariable regard for the Bible Society. It may indeed be said of this Institution^ that its very nuture was such as lo connect itself with every other act of chaiity, for in the Bible itself was the master- spring of evtrv charitable Institution. ' I'he Parent Soofotv vine every charitable Institution. ' I'he Parent Society was vast in its principle, yet steady and simple in its course. The ship had indeed met with' perils aud storms, but it had held on its course lo many ports, and had left at each its freight, which would produce an hundred- fold. » ... rPr „ « .. » „ tn i) e evei, a tower it) such a vessel ; but there were some who held higher station! and of this character was his venerable friend the President ( Archdeacon Corbett), whom he was'truly happy to see in the enjoyment of such bodily health aud strength, exerting himself with « o much advantage tothe Institution that he had taken under his charge. In regard to him, the words of an eminent Roman Catholic may be very truly and most appropriate applied— 4 Lord, recompense thou him who seeks to relieve the hungry soul wiih the bread of truth.' In reference to what had been urged on the propriety of distributing Bibles to the inns, he would instance the fact, that a lady of high rank, but mrTcli troubled from domestic calamity, had called at an inn, where, being unable to obtain any refreshing sleep, she had found herself greatly comforted by perusing the many ap. pl. ic. able passages which she found in a Bible that the landlady had placed in. the room, and for which she next day returned her grateful acknowledgment's. He thought if all public- houses W ere included in the views of the Committee, it would be very desirable ; they might then hope to hear no more of instances of con- tempt and derision exei'cised towards the Holv Volume, and of tl • at Book having been consigned to the flails amid shouts of execration; hut on the contrary, " that it would more and more tend to the comfort and edifi- cation of souls, in plates where its precepts had'hitherto been rejected and despised. In the instance to which he had alluded, the landlady had been at the expense of furnishing her rooms with Bibles ; perhaps it might here be requisite to furnish them at tlie Society's re- duced prices; but if it were even necessary to give litem entirely, he hoped all present would be happy fo share the task of contributing to so good a work, tbe fruits of which must be anticipated with the highest satisfaction.— His Lordship concluded by moving the thanks of the meeting to the President, Archdeacon Corbett. Archdeacon CORBETT said, he should best express his feelings of gratitude for the honour which his Lordship and the meeting had done hini, by trespassing as shortly as possible on their attention; the very handsome manner in which his Lordship had, with his accustomed benevolence, joined iu the business of the anniversary, must cull forth the acknowledgments of every friend ofthe Institution. Colonel DALLAS proposed the vote of thanks to the Vice- Presidents; which was seconded by the Rev. J. WILDE, who observed that the Society had much more to dread from insidious than from open enemies; and he took the opportunity of recommending to general perusal the address delivered by their Venerable Patron at the late meeting of the Parent Society, as, by adopt- ing its sentiments, more would be done to cjieck opposi- tion and to promote unanimity, than could be expected to result from any other means. R. A SLANEY, Esq. M. P. in returning thanks for the vote to the Vice- Presidents, said— It must be a subject of congratulation to this Society to assemble, as they did to- day, tinder the auspices and patronage, and in the presence, of the highest ecclesiastical authority of this district. Of the merits of the Right Rev. Prelate it did not become him ( Mr. S.) to speak ; but he would venture to observe, that the religious people of this country owe a deep debt of gratitude to his family. No man has more successfully and liberally upheld the cause of Christianity, and tiie Liberal and Enlightened Spirit of True Religion, than his noble relative, the Earl of Harrowby. It is one of the privileges of being- enlisted in promoting theobjectsof this institution* thai ihe most obscure member of it has an interest in the progress of improvement. No matter how obscure his station, or lowly his lot,-*- tio matter that his condition has been appoinfectby the hand of fortune, in retirement or in poverty,— still he is a fellow worker with the noblest who have gone before us, whose names serve as lights lo trace back the stream of time, and to gild the dark memorials of past ages ; he is linked in one. object with the greatest, and most gifted men, who in the present age exert their high talents to promote the spread of knowledge, and the cause of the happiness of mankind. fl Si nee I entered the ball ( continued Mr. S.) a new source of satisfaction has been opened to us by the fact mentioned by an honourable colleague who sits beside me, of the establishment of a Bible Society where the Inquisition once held sway in South America. This, Sir, is but one, the forerunner and pioneer of many more ; it is but the beginning of religious intel- ligence. How deep a sense of joy fo us, who have so many blessings, to behold that noble country which had slept for three centuries the dark sleep of despotism — which was inthralled and hound about by the thick mist8 of bigotry and superstition— awake from her lethargy, and, under the glorious auspices of Freedom and Intelligence, arise to life and light ! In proportion as Knowledge is diffused,— in proportion as Education is spread —( and I trust the time is not far distant when it - shall be spread to the poorest cottage in the farthest village in the remotest province of the land)— it is our duty and our policy to increase our exertions, that ihe Christian Volume may be found where* er Intelligence atid Freedom walk their glorious rounds,— and thai those who know how to read may also learn how to pray. Who can cast their eves around, and not feel gratified at seeing so many Ladies gracing our meet- ing? Our customs forbid them mingling in the noisy bustle of public life; hut here their aid is not mis- placed: their influence, though unseen, is powerful, and I rejoice it is so, because it is generally exerted in the cause of virtue. I remember a picture, by a gifted Italian Master—( I can never forget it) — in which is depicted, in one side, ihe Enemy of the human race, glowering with fiendish malignity over the anticipated destruction of an innocent and unsuspecting- child ; but above that child there stands a Ministering Spirit of celestial form, shielding him from danger, and teaching his innocent and infant hands to join in prayer to ihe Protector of lis all. That Guardian Angel may each female be to many children who dwell within her influ- ence f Thus shall she lessen the pangs of many a mother, diminish the griefs of many a sister, and spare the tears of many a wife. I know of no sight more attractive, and which appeals more deeply to all our better feelings, than the sight ofa lovely and affection- ate woman teaching unprotected childhood the early paths of piety and virtue. I have only once more to return thanks to the society; and to express my deter- mination at all times, and in all situations, to loud my humble but sincere and hearty efforts to aid these objects, which are bound up with the welfare and hap- piness of mankind." The Rev. EDWARD BATHER sa'fd— Mr.. President, If it is still the pleasure ofthe friends of the Shropshire Auxiliary Bible Society to pass an annual vote of thanks to the merely nominal officers of ihe institution, your Vice- Presidents have need to consider with more anxiety what manner of service is expected from them. Active* service we render none. It would be worse than ridiculous should we take credit for labour of ours on your behalf. Btit I suppose, Sir, yon inscribe our names in the forefront of your. annual publications, that we may understand ourselves to he a sort of referees to whom enquirers may apply for information, and that it must be our duty to t. e ready on all fit occasions to answer any who shall ask what may be your claims on public support and confidence. And this, Sir, uh) st be my apology for the few observations with which 1 am about to trouble you. Sir, notwithstanding the great progress which the Bible Society has made, and notwithstanding the respectability of the list of its contributors in this county, it is still, I think, very far off from being looked upon with the favour which it deserves. And it has been, almost up to this hour, my lot to bear, from per- sons professing much zeal for the increase of the Redeemer's kingdom, that, in spife of this zeal of theirs, and in spite also ofthe esteem tbey feel ( or many very excellent and ( ihey doubt not) well- meaning friends of ours, they yet cannot in conscience cast in their lot among us, or he aiding and abetting to our increase. This grieves me, Sir, 1 must confess. But I cannot say that it alarms me for the stability of our institution, or that in itself it much surprises me. 1 have long since ceased Po wonder thai what appears clear and beau- tiful as day to me, should to others seem doubtful or even dark as midnight. It is recorded of the Apostles themselves, that oue of the very plainest and most explicit of their Master's sayings was for a season- hid from them, so that they understood not the thing which was spoken till the interpretation was forced upon them by ihe event. Blindness hath happened in part to every one of us : and ihe wisest of us are subject, at times, to come to conclusions to all but ourselves so palpably irrational, that even children may wonder at our folly. Then I trust, Sir. that I shall be ever kept from regarding those who differ from me w ith any thing like angry feeling : and that I shall consider myself how weak and fallible I am, before I visit, w hat I take to be another's errors with any thing so unbecoming me as contempt. But yet, Sir, see wi. ti my own eyes I will, so long as I have them in my head. And notwith- standing the respect which in my turn I can very unaffectedly profess for very many who stand aloof from the good work which has brought us together now, 1 shall presume to think that ihey are in error. And in proportion to the respect with w hich I regard the integrity, the talents, the station, and the influence of not a few* of them, I shall think it my duty to testify, however weakly, my conviction that we ourselves are right in proceeding in our enterprise. Sir, whatever differences of sentiment there may be among us, I presume that in our addresses to the Throne of Grace we do all make use of that perfect form of prayer which the one Master of us all hath taught ns. i presume, Sir, that we are not now to learn that what things soever we solemnly pray for, those same things it behoves us seriously to strive and labour for. And therefore I presume likewise that, upon a moment's consideration, we shall all bold our- selves pledged by our prayers, each in his place to do all that in him lies that God in all things may he glori- fied, and that grace, mercy, and peace may come from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, to all the families of mankind. Then, Sir, I venerate the Bible Society, because it has honestly redeemed this pledge; because it aims at these objfec^ tg b^ means absolutely unexceptionable, as well as md- i § putably efficacious. And, Sir, whilst I can say tin's for it, I care not lhat I have no mure to say. For indeed it is not the habit of my mind to look out for new reasons for a thing, much. less lo search after far- fetched or ingeni- ous reasons, so long, as the old reasons may stand their ground, and the obvious arguments remain unrefined. Such, however, is the case with the Bible Society. Sir, T have looked into the last annual report of its pro- ceedings, and there I find this result : that, in addition to its multiplied labours of translation, and besides aid given to Foreign Societies, there have been issued from its depository 294,000 copies of the Scripture within th6 last year, and from the commencement upwards of 4,300,000 copies. Now, Sir, if we are honest, if we have meant the glory of God and the good of our fellow creatures, what, I should like to know, could we have done better ? But if w e have had ativ bad end in view, if it has been our insidious aim to undermine any good work of piety or love— what could we have done worse ? Surely, Sir, we have been in this case as 44 the foolish woman who pulleth down her own house with her hands." We are as destitute of the wisdom of the serpent as we can be presumed to be of the harmless nessof lhe dove ; and tbey who think ill of us and our ( lesigris may well triumph in onr infatuation, saying, so let the wise in their own conceit be taken in their" own craftiness for ever. Indeed, Sir, w hen I first joined the Bible Society, T did soin the integrity of my heart, assuring myselfthat whilst I was co- operating vv- jth others to do much g; ood, no in- jury could possibly arise toany existing religions associ- ation, or to any bulwark of the cause of real piety. And least of all, Sir, did I imagine that the venerable fabric of our national church could be endangered, or that it could be any detriment to our articles or our fitnrgv, That greater facilities should be given to multitudes to look to t\ » e rock whence they were hewn, and. to the hole of the pit whence they were digged.-— Bntj- Sir, the time for speculation is gone by— the period is nt length arrived when we may appeai to experience and to facta. The Bible Society has heen established three and twenty years, and perhaps it has done three and twenty times as much as any one ever looked for at its outset. Where lheti are tbe evil Consequences? By this time surely they should be manifest : let any man lay bis hand upon the mischief, and tell me just where and what it is. After so ample a period allowed for incubation, the cockatrice should surelv have hurst his shell. I should like to see the fiery flying serpent that has been hatched. Sir, there has been no mischief hatched. We meant no evil, and we have done hone. Look back upon the last three and twenty years. Are our churches more deserted than they were? Has the prayer- book fallen into contempt ? Has the zeal of the country perished for educating the poor at home or for evangelizing the heathen abroad ? Look at the funds of every beneficent. Institution, from the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge down to the Salop Infirmary. Four millions of Bibles we know cannot have been distributed without a large expenditure. But facts prove, I think, not that this expenditure ha'sf exhausted our coffers, lint contrary wise, that attention to the word thereby distributed bath unlocked and enlarged our hearts. A record hath heen more and more unfolded, which, by every affecting argument, and by every awful sanction, inculcates and requires chanty. And that principle hath been more and more disseminated upon which every good work must stand. This only is the mischief we have done. Then here, Sir, I vrill take my stand. If it cannot be proved that barm has arisen from the distribution oFtlie Bible through the Bible Society, I am sure it will not be denied that all good may well be looked for from men's fuller and more extensive acquaintance with the Bible itself. And I say it would be well if more would join with us in our work. I do not mean, and 1 will never say, that I cannot hold a man to love the Bible or to be zealous for the cause of God because he will not unite with this particular Institution. I know that other ways are open, and I will never prescribe to my neighbour what must he his methods for doing good. But 1 say any man conscientiously might join us ; and I may honestly press it upon any man so to do, because thus he would be acting in conformity with the pledge given in his daily prayers. For if God's name is to be hallowed, how-, may this be better done than by pro- viding that those lively oracles in which he speaks for himself may be known of all men ! If his kingdom is to come, what better instrument than 44 the ivord of the kingdom.* If his will is to be done, how is this more likely to come to pass than through the promulgation of that record, which contains every argument for submission to the will of his Proz'iclencey and which is itself the pandect of his laws? And if we desire the good of all men — that the hungry. may have bread and the sinner pardon— that all may escape from temptation and from evil — and all live together in unity and love— hovV is this to be accomplished hut through God's blessing upon the Bible. For where else are we so taught to do good unto men? Where else to behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world ? Is not the answer here, and here only, to every temptation ? And when we read that a day approaches when men shall heat ( heir swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks, are we not here at the same time taught that this day of universal peace can only come when the earth ( as through the Bible it shall be) is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the nea.— Mr. Bather concluded by acknowledging the thanks of the meeting to the Vice- Presidents, and moving thanks ( o tiie Committee. The Rev. DAVID HUGHES, in seconding the vote of thank's to the Committee, pointed out, with much energy and felicity, the duties of those who undertook that office, and the necessity for their unceasing exer- tions to promote the objects ofthe Institution. R. PHAYRE, Esq. returned thanks on behalf of the Committee, C. WALKER, Esq. on moving the thanks of the meet- ing to the Treasurer, Secretaries, See. took the oppor- tunity of expressing his acknowledgments for having been elected one of the Vice- Presidents of the Society, in which situation, he said, he would do all that lay in his power to promote the interests of the Institution. The Rev. G. N. K, LLOYD, in seconding the motion, said he did so with pleasure, because to these officers they were most indebted ; they had most labour, though their task was the least ostentatious; and one to which more than an ordinary degree of responsibility was at- tached. The object of the Society was to make known the Word of God in every clime and in every language, and it was the most noble ( hat any of God's creatures could be occupied in. If it was a duty to relieve those who laboured under sickness and under worldly distress, it must surely be a duty to afford relief to ihe distressed soul, and ( o rescue from the broad road of destruction those who were hurrying towards its terrible abyss. Much had heen effected by the Bible Society, which Could not have been effected by any other means. Its principle brought into its ranks those who would not otherwise be brought together; they were thus made known to each other, their prejudices were for a time laid aside, and they co operated as friends and brethren. It thus effected more than penal laws could ever do for tbe cause of religion, and did more than any other menus could effect for the promotion of love and good- will. Looking, therefore, al what had been done, how much they were called upon to persevere in the Society's behaif. No feelings of party jealousy or of private views ought for a moment to be permitted to cross the object and intention of the Society; but, on tiie contrary, it was the duty of all its members to endeavour to live in harmony with all men, and to promote the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. J. BATHER, Esq. observed, that the task of returning thanks for the vote just adopted, had repeatedly de- volved upon him, to whom certainly no merit was due; and if it were not" that the present was a time when no man should withdraw his name from any office in the Institution, he should be inclined to relinquish a situa- tion which he had for so long only nominally filled. He was certainly ready at auy time to do what he might be called upon to perform in aid of the Society's objects • and he must own that he was now peculiarly an- xious his name should be attached to the office of Secretary, in order to shew that he was not de- flecting from the Institution to which he had been so long attached. He had joined the Society at first from reflection, and he adhered to it now afier much reflec- tion. He had looked with a jealous eye at the inculpa- tions recently urged against the Managing Committee of the Parent Society. The first charge was for issu- ing the apocrypha along with the sacred text; a second charge was, that the Society had issued errone- ous translations ; and a third ( ami a most serious charge it had been) was, that there had been prodigality nearly amounting to peculation in the management of its funds. If the last charge had heen substantiated, then be should have said, the sin of Ananias was there : if it had been proved that a single subscription had been wilfully misappropriated, he should have said, it was their duty to separate from an Institution that was so mismanaged. But the charge was not substantiated; on the contrary, it had been disproved. He could not, indeed, see, how an expenditure of £ 100,000 per a •! inm, and the enormous correspondence of the Parent Society, could be more economically managed than it bad been. He had read much of the controversy arising out of the- transactions he had alluded to: on oue side there was angry language, unfair assumptions, and unjustifiable conclusions— and on the other a simple reference to facts; and as the distribution of the apocrypha had been abandoned, why should the dyino- embers of that controversy be blow n into a flame. This business had not caused much discussion in this county, but as an officer of the Society he had thought it his duty to allude to it, and to state his belief that the • charges made were not substantiated. All human institutions decay : but if this Society contained the seeds of decay, it also contained the germs of re- animation. Jt resembled the tree, with Ihe leaves of which our great Poet clothes the nakedness of our first sinning parents :•— Such as at this day, to Indians known, In Malabar or Decean spreads her arms branching so broad and long, that in the ground The bended twigs take root, antl daughters grow About the mother tree, a pillared shade High over- arched, and echoing walks between. Should, then, the Parent Stock fail, there were suckers iii many a distant clime, and if the stateliest sucker became separated from the original plant, still he would say even of that, may it flourish and throw out new branches, and may its leaves be for the healing of notions. He had joined the Society as being the best calculated to effect its professed object; and although they must lament that many excellent persons scrupled to join them, he saw no reason to slacken their exer- 1 tions, it would be found an auxiliary to every good ( ions. For his own part he should think it his solemn work throughout the world. As members of the Bible duty to exert himself to the best of his humble abilities | in its behalf. On the present occasion he should most cordially join in the thanks bestowed upon his brother officers ; for, having himself done no duty, he could not consider himself entitled to any acknowledgments. The Rev. C. R. CAMERON, on frioving the appoint- ment of Auditors, said, it would be an anomaly as re- garded all human institutions, if the Bible Society had met with no opposition; but in the midst of w hatever difficulties it may have encountered, there had been abundant causes of encouragement. One of the peculiar characteristics of lire present age was the number of voluntary societies, severally formed to promote the interests of religion, knowledge, and hu- manity, and, he was sorry to sliy, some to promote irre- ligion. Among those formed to promote the interests of religion, the Bible Society had taken the lead, and its principle had formed the model of other institutions: its system was, indeed, so admirable, that if had met the approbation of good men of all ranks in all nations. To use a simile already introduced, it had, like the oak of our native forest, struck its root deep in the soil, and twined its fibres round many excellent and noble in various lands, thence inVbibing that perennial s'uppty which had nurtured it tifl it had grown up the glory of the earth, so that, comparatively speaking, the beasts of the field reposed tinder ils shade, and the fowls of the air took shelter in its branches. It had been greatly instrumental in assisting mankind towards that mil- lenary state of knowledge, religion, and happiness, to which the world was rapidly hastening; and it was the duty of good men to endeavour to extend its influence, to increase its resources, and to promote its operation throughout, not only our own nation but all olher nations of tbe world. The Rev. MANOAII KENT, on seconding the motion, sard— Mr. President,— In that blessed Book, for the promoting of whose objects we are now assembled, the great Redeemer of mankind is revealed unto us in a variety of characters ; among which is that ofa king or governor. One peculiar properly of his government is, that it is gradual in its increase. If we date its com mencement at the period of our Lord's birth, its beginning was small ; but it has increased, and does increase, aud will increase, until 44 he shall have dominion from sea to sea,' and from the river to the ends of the earlh, '— until the period shall arrive, when the seventh angel shall sounds and great voices shall be heard in heaven, saying 44 the kingdoms of this world are become ihe kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever." The commencement was like a handful of corn sown upon the top of the mountains— like the stone cut out of the mountain without hands ; nud its increase shall be like the holy waters which the propiiet beheld in vision, which nt first were very shallow, but al length became wide nnd deep waters to swim in. Great opposition has been made to the government of Christ, but yet it continues its progress. Clouds may intervene between us and the natural sun, nnd for a time hide its glories from our view, but that luminary, unimpeded hy these things, continues ils march towards its meridian glory. So with the government of Christ : vvlratever opposi- tion may he made to it— whatever may arise to obscure its glory, it continues to increase, and will increase, until il shall attain llmt glorv to which it is destined, and when it shall have attained that glory, it will continue for ever and ever. In ibis it is different from nil earthly governments. Like the natural sun, they have no sooner ariivrd nt tbe meridian of glory, than tbev have begun to decline; " but of the increase of Christ's government and pence there shall he no end." When we think of this, we are constrained to say — Mighty Redeemer! extend Ihe conquests of thy love, and hasten the arrival of that period when thou slialt reign supremely nnd universally King of Kings mid Lord of Lords! As professors of Christianity, ii is our duty to seek the increase of this government by all tbe means which God has appointed. As it is purely spiritual, the means employed must be spiritual, not war ond bloodshed. When Mahomet would gn forth to establish bis religion, be took the Koran in Ihe one band and the sword in the olher, and lliose who would not receive the Koran were destroyed hy the iron. What mure was necessary to prove that his religion was not from God, but the arm of persecution? Those who lift up tbe arm of persecution in the support or increase of Ihe government of Christ, nltempt in sup- port the ark of God hy unhallowed means, and, instead of rendering any assistance, may expect to meet with the displeasure of Heaven: ns ils enemies nre spiritual, they must be fought not with carnal bill with spiritual weapons : as ils object is spiritual power, the spiritual nnd eternal welfare of men, so the means employed must he spiritual, for no natural cause can produce a spiritual effect. One means to he employed is Ibe preaching of the gospel. Wiih this weapon the Apostles of old entered the territories of tbe prince of darkness, and attacked Ihe strong holds of sin and Satan, and the consequence wns, lhat hundreds nnd thousands were subdued to the governments of the Saviour. Tins means is employed now. Our mis sionaries are gone forth to make known the way of life and salvation. to those who are ' perishing for lack of knowledge. Another means is the circulation of reli- gious truth, It is our privilege to live in a day when many societies and institutions are formed and in active operation, whose sole object is to circulate religion knowledge. Among them the Bible Society stands forward with prominency, like a queen decked in majesty and glory. The various tract societies nnd sabbalh school institutions go before and prepare the way for her reception. The'Bible Society has accom- plished much, but it will accomplish more. It has Omnipotence as its guardian, and the world ns the sphere of its labours, and, ere long, the world will become the scene of its victory and triumph. If we ourselves are not the subjects of Christ's government, we should he induced to seek its increase by a consi- deration of the good it brings to man in a temporal sense. That will be a glorious period indeed when the kingdom of Christ shall be extended universally, and when all nations shall be subdued to his government. Pence shall sway her dove- like sceptre— righteousness shall spring out of the earth— and truth shall fall down from heaven— and 44 no one shall hurt or destroy in the Lord's holy mountain." But if we are the subjects of Chribt's government, it becomes binding upon us in a most imperative manner to seek its increase from a consideration of onr obligations to Jesus Christ, nnd of the important blessings we enjoy under his govern- ment, aud from'a sense of the duty we owe our fellow- creatures. If, then, it be our duty to seek the increase of Christ's kingdom, and if the Bible Society be one great means of promoting its increase, that Society demands our attention, and calls for our assistance. May we then depart from this place at the close of this meeting, with a holy determination to he more zealous and laborious in aiding this Society, and with a pious resolution that our labours shall cease only with our lives. And when our immortal spirits shall have entered another world, they shall look down with delight and rapture and see this Society widening in its operations as a mighty river, until it . shall become as an ocean and fertilize the whole earth. The Rev. BENJAMIN HOWELL, in moving the thanks ofthe meeting to ihe Ladies who had actively promoted the views of the Society, congratulated the meeting on the improved spirit of the age in which they lived, when the enlarged bounty of the Prince and the scanty pittance of the poor were alike to be seen brought to fill the golden treasury of the Lord. Freely they had received, freely they should give; and it was their duty to persevere in disseminating the Scriptures from East to West, and from North to South, until a human being without a Bible should not be found under the canopy of heaven. He had to propose a vote of thanks to a class of persons who, by the devotion of their time and their talents, had done so much to promote lhe cause ofthe Institution— he meant the Ladies; and while he would, in the name of the Society, thank them for the past, which he did most sincerely, he trusted they would pardon him for expressing a hope that their future exeriions ou behalf of its interests would be without relaxation. He would say to them, in the words of that Book which it was their object to distri- bute— 44 Be ye stedfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ve know thai your labour is not in vain in the Lord."— 44 Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."— 44 Be not weary in well- doing." The Rev. J. RICHARDS, iu a concise and elegant address, seconded the motion. The Rev. ANDREW BURN, in moving the thanks of the meeting to the Branch Societies and Bible Associa- tions, forcibly pointed out bow much the exertions of these Auxiliaries tended to preserve the Parent Insti- tution in its slate of vigorous operation; and to shew the necessity for disseminating the Holy Scriptures, he read some extracts from the Report of the Parent Society. In conclusion, he adverted to the late discus- sion as to the proceedings of the Committee of the Parent. Society, the result of which had been, he said, to cause the Society to emerge, ns gold from th « t fire, purified of all dross, and more deserving than ever of the utmost exertions that could be made on its behalf. The Rev. J. LANGT. EY, in seconding the motion, observed, as one of the Secretaries he must say, the more trouble they received in corresponding* with Branch Societies, the more thankful he should he; and so highly did he estimate them as sources of nourish- ment to the Parent Stock, that he hoped to see them established, under the sanction of ihe Clergy and Laity, in every town and village. They had* been joined that day by some not hitherto accustomed lo ( ake part in their proceedings, and he trusted more would foliovv their example. For himself, he could say, he had lived in connexion with the Society since he had been in orders, and he hoped to die in lhat connexion It was his greatest ph sure to be engaged in the work of the Society, and while they had work for him to do, he trusted he should always be readv to perform it' Looking at the Bible Society not only as disseminating the Scriptures, but incidentally as to'its general opera* Society, they were friends to all the human race; and they went forth to their benevolent work preceded by the glory of the Lord, and followed by his blessing. The Rev. J. COOPER returned thanks on behalf of the Branch Societies $ and after observing that Madeley stood at the head of those Auxiliaries, lie said, this circumstance would not be considered as a disparaged ment to the others, when it was recollected that Made- ley had been for 25 years the scene of the apostrdie labours of a Flechere, and that, after a lapse of 40 years, still many of the fruits of that reverend Divine's, labours remained in that parish, and would, he hoped.' long continue to the glory of God and Ihe example, of others. Although Madeley, in common with other places, had felt the pressure of the times, yet, in addition to the sums reported as transmitted to the Society, 100 guineas had been collected in it in aid of the distressed manufacturers; and when it was known that £ 36 had been collected there for the Bible Society, after a ser- mon preached by the talented Vicar of Harrow, he hoped they would be considered not to have failed in their regard for the institution, ond for those other works of benevolence which its operations tend to promote and cherish. In reference to some late discus- sions, he had no doubt the Society would, ns had been well observed, be looked upon as having emerged from its trials as gold seven times purified. The advance- ment of pure and utidefiled religion in our ow n land had, he doubted not, been a main cause of the compa- rative happiness and prosperity to which it had attained : and when lire inhabitants of oilier regions were perishing for lack of knowledge, and were crying out— 44 Come over, and help us"— ought they not to attend to the call, by using every exertion to dissemi- nate the blessings of the Gospel, by means of that Society, which, they had reason to hope, would event- ually prove the cause of spreading light and knowledge to all people and nations of the earth. The late Session of Parliament, [ FROM THE LONDON PACKET.] Lord Coke tells us, that, 44 upon some of the records and rolls of the Parliament it is written,— Perlege qu ® regni clarissima concilioruiii, Sunt monumenta, aliter nil pneter somnia cernis." If the future inquirer into the events of our time, were to have no more aid than can be furnished by the par- liamentary records of 1827— he might well believe the present a period of profound sleep— might well regard the annals of the year in which we are as the record of a dream. What has the session, ju9t terminated, pro- duced? A popish bill happily crushed in the birth ;— an abortive Corn bill ;— a promise of a general reform bill ;— a protWise of an abrogation of the test acts bill ; — a promise of a dissenters' marriage bill;— a promise of a popish bill ;— a promise of a game bill ;— a promise of two special reform bills ( those of Penryn and East Retford);— a promise of a finance committee;— a promise of a series of measures to enlarge the trade in corn. These surely belong to the somnia, to which the endorser of the Rolls, cited by Lord Coke, alluded — the dreams of legislation, the crude conceptions of a disordered imagination, which seems to itself able 1<> accomplish impracticable objects. To pass from its dreams to its waking sober works: what are the acts by hich the parliament of 1827 is to he remembered? The answer is, Nothing, positively nothing ; parliament has wailed the leisure of a sick minister— it has re- spected the embarrassment of a busy minister— it has compassionated the sore perplexity of a minister meshed in hia own toils; in the.; e gentle offices of humanity, it has consumed five, months— but it has done nothing for the public!! Away with this delu- sion, it is not upon such grounds that the Parliament of England has dreamed away ils proper year of activity—; nor will such pretexts satisfy the people of England,, The solution of the mystery will be found, in the symp- toms of an approaching conflict, between the principle of universal change ou the one side, and the preserva tion of Lhe constitution in its leading and fundamental interests on the other. This conflict is at hand, and the antagonists on tlie opposite side, are now maintain- ing that wary and watchful rest which shall best prepare them for a vigorous contest. This is the secret of the seeming 44 dreaming session" of 1827, which is almost sure to be followed by a struggle, in which the fate of England will be decided. Of the result it were impiety to doubt, with the expe- rience we have had of the favour of Providence to our country. Even already the cabine( of the innovators betrays its weakness by multiplying and widening chasms between its repugnant parts. Neither our 6on- fidence in heaven, however, nor our sense of the weak- ness of our enemy, can justify neglect;— he it our part then, in the season of leisure which lies before ns, to keep alive the manly English spirit of our friends— to expose the int. igues and machinations of our country's foes ;— and, above all, to develope, hy fair examination, the nature and tendency of the several systems whose disciples are contending for the government of the empire. M. GLAHEIT'S POOR BILL. [ FROM THE MORNING HERALD.} No subject has excited more schemes and suggestions t'tian the Poor Laws; and none, judging from their results, have more fully proved apparent wisdom to be sometimes " foolish- ness." A new projector has lately risen up, in the person of Mr. Slaney, who lias, we believe, written various pamphlets upon ihe subject, which vary few people have ever read ; and who has now concentrated the fruits of his experience into the form of a Bill, which some of- the Papers, which ought to know better, have told their readers has actually passed into a law; but which we are quite convinced never will be- the case, or if it were, that it would form the blackest stain and disgrace upon the Legislatuie which it could inflict upon tha country. For what, forsooth, is the notable, expedient which this Bill proposes, HS its author's panacea for the evil of. the Poor Rates, but that, from the 1st of January, 1831, no man having less than five children dependent upon him, shall be entitled to any compulsory relief from the Poor Rate; and that any such' relief shall depend wholly upon the tender mercies of tbe parish officers, without the power of reference to a Magistrate; But that we may not be misunderstood— that no man may suppose that our disgust— strong as we freely acknowledge it to be, gets the better of our judgment — let us follow this plan of Mr. Slaney's into practice. Let us take. an agricultural labourer for instance, in an obscure village, where resident gentleman nor clergyman has for years been known ( and many such there are), with a wife and four children. Let this man be compelled to work fas thou- sands of these people are) for the great farmer of the p'ace, himself, in all probability, the churchwarden or overseer, at what wages he chooses to give— but we will say, for example, at eight shillings a week. We ask Mr. Sfane'y, or any man better acquainted with the subject than he appears to b « , ho\* that sum, at the present prices of the common necessaries of life, will provide a family of- six persons even with them, to » say nothing of clothes, of rent, of fuel, of rm ilicines, and the many other wants which the casualties of life present to every one? It is true that the price of the man's labour ought to be greater, but what power has he, or what power has any one, as the law stands, to increase it? The landlord gets his rent, the clergyman gets his tithe, the farmer gets his profit upon his capital, or at all events a comfortable maintenance, but here would remain this family of six persons, were Mr. Slaney'sbill to pass into a law, with nothing beyond these eight shillings a week to clothe and maintain themselves upon. What hitherto has been the consolation and resource- of such a man, in the midst of tlie most trying privations, but that, on application to the neighbouring Bench of Magistrates* he could make his case known, and stand a chance at ]; east of seeing his situation alleviated ? But it is the goodly purpose of this scheme to cut off this last resource from the wretched, and at once to keep down wages and relief in the same breath- That the House ot Commons has so much as suffered such a Bill to be read a first time and printed, is, in some measure, a satire upon its justice; but that it will suffer it to be re- intro- duced and advanced another stage, we cannot for a moment suppose. Does the author of this measure and its approvers — if, to their disgrace, there be any— really imagine that tbe Poor Rate is an eleemosynary fund, and that, it is the gratu- itous bounty of the rich in aid of the poor] If so, we tell them it is no such thing, and that, on the contrary, this man with his eight shillings a week, has just as fair and legal a right to a competent maintenance out of the soil as the land- lord, the parson, or the farmer. By the time that they have chewed the cud of reflection upon this fact, we will return to the subject again, if it be necessary to slay the slain, or if more words can be wanting to show the uiter inhumanity injustice, and absurdity of a project unparalleled among the rec<*: ls of modern legislation.
