Portuguese refugees, to the number of more than •< S. lO, ill toe departments of Isle et Vilaine and of La Mavenne, should have permission to proceed to Ostend, j^ liich the Marquis de Palmella had asked for them. The daily allowances which the State had assigned them • will continue to be paid to tlicm till the day of their embarkation. Private letters from New Orleans state that the malady which makes such dreadful ravages in that town resem- bles rather the oriental plague than the yellow fever. Ahnost all people attacked by it die. The mortality principally affects those that are strangers to the town. Tile daily number of the dead amounts to from 7" to HI). Lord Hertford, who resides at Home, has purchased the famous statue of Pompey for 127,500 francs ( fi, 300/.) London. MONDAY, OCTOBER 62. THP. KING.— His Majesty is expected to keep his Christmas at Windsor Cattle. The journey to Brighton is postponed sine die— Windsor Herald. Parliament will not, it is believed,' m^ el be- fore the usual time, the first week in February. , la. Dispatches from Sir Robert Gordon, dated Constantinople. Oct. 2, have been received at the Foreign Office. The Treaty of Peace between Russia and the Porte had been ratified by the Sultan, and the ratifica- tion had been sent to the Russian head- quarters. Rus- sian officers had. we are informed, quitted Constantinople for the Dardanelles, and for the head- quarters of the army in Asia, with instructions that hostilities should cease.— It is stated that the first instalment of the mercantile com- pensation to the Russians was then ready for payment. PARIS, Oct. 21.— The Kins arrived to- day at the Tuilleries, where his Majesty will reside the whole winter. Private letters from Paris state that the French Government had received information from St. Petersburg!! of the intention of the Emperor to admit of modifications to the Treaty of the 14th of September; and that later accounts, from very good authority, stated that the modifications alluded to nould not be publicly acceded to until after the arrival of an extraordinary Turkish Ambassador at Petersburgh, and that they would ke sent forth to the world not as the result of the in- tervention of the Powers of Europe, but as concessions made by the moderation of the Emperor to tile humble • applications of the Chief of the Moslem. Advices from Frankfort state, that Austria 1 » r. egociating a loan of 25 millions of francs, at four per cent., for the purpose of bringing up some of its paper aow in ' circulation. PERA, Sept. 26.— The news is just spread tbat the Sultan has this day ratified the Treaty coududcd at Adrianople on the 14th. Achmed Aga, one of his Aid- de- Camps, is to leave Constantinople to- day to take the ratification to Adrianople. The two Russian officers who came with the Prussian Ambassador will also set out immediately fo/, tfc" ei* re- spective destinations, to carry the news of the conclusion and ratification of the peace, one to Count Paskewitsch Erivansky, the Other to the Dardanelles. The ratifica- tions would have been made earlier, had not the orna- mental writing, which, according to Oriental custom, is indispensably necessary, required considerable time. VIENNA, Oct. 14.— Commercial letters from Semlin state that the Sultan has ratified the Treaty, and sent the ratification to Adrianople to be exchanged. The publication of a Hatti- Scheriff was immediately expected, . granting an amnesty to all persons, who, during the late events, have excited the displeasure of the Government; also, the appointment of Commissioners to negotiate re- specting the emancipation of Greece. The Sultan has the greatest confidence in the generous sentiments of his Ma- jesty the Emperor of Russia, and hopes to Obtain some reduction in the amount, which he has been led to hope for by a Power that possesses great influence. VIENNA, Oct. 15.— The mail from Constan- tinople has just arrived. It confirms the news of an ex- tiaordinary mission to St. Petersburgh for the purpose of soliciting from the magnanimity of the Emperor of Russia s nne alleviation in the rigour of tile conditions " imposed upon the Sultan Mahmoud. ADRIANOPLE, Sept. 21.— The ratification of the Treaty of Peace by the Sultan has this moment be; n received here from Constantinople.— Prussian Stale Gaz. FRANFORT ON THE MAINE, Oct. 16.— The hanker, Solomon de Rothschild, arrived here from Paris. It is said he starts again this day for Vienna. The new Austrian Loan, which is under negociation, is supposed to be the cause of this hasty journey. ^ Letters from Madrid state that a commission has been appointed for the purpose of examining papers and documents relative to a conspiracy said to have been discovered among the Spanish Freemasons. The fever at New Orleans has not abated on the receipt of the last advices. The number of slaves imported into Rio Janeiro alone last year amounted to 46,11) 0, of whom 2559 died. PORTUGAL.— The Briton, 46, Captain Hon W. Gordon, M. P. has arrived from Lisbon, which she left on the 2nd inst. The accounts are of the most gloomy character, and teem with descriptions of acts of tyranny Which the government of Don Miguel still continues to exercise. Business is completely at a stand, Don Miguel took occasion, since the arrival of the Briton at Lisbon, to go afloat with the Portuguese standard flying, and pulled towards that ship, under an idea decidedly that he would receive the compliment of a royal salute; he was however quite disregarded by the British man- of- war, as well as by the French ship Pomona, lying in the Tagus. The Times says Government are enquiring; into ( he state of feeling of the inhabitants of the Portu- guese islands towards Don Miguel, to determine what coatjnct is to be pursued with regard to Portugal. An ordonnance has appeared in the French Moniteur, limiting the number of butchers in the capital to 41) 0; each of whom is to furnish a security of 3009 francs, that he will comply with all the police regulations affecting its occupation. A decree of the French Minister of Finance, lias been recently promulgated in France, exempting all vessels of the Netherlands which may be driven by weather and other compulsory causes into the French ports, from the tonnage dues to which they have hitherto been subject. Hostilities have commenced between the Emperor of Austria and the Emperor of Morocco. The Austrian squadron has made several new attempts at bombardment upon the coasts, but always at too great a distance. These attacks are far from intimidating the Moors. The Gazette of Naples says, that on the first of October the heat was such that it would have been considered as extraordinary in summer, even in that cli- mate. The thermometer rose to 26 degrees of Reaumur. Bolivar has granted permission to the Colom- bian Mining Company to ship 1000 tons of gold anif. silver ore from Colombia. liV * ' j. The whale fishery at Sydney, promises to, be most successful: no less than ten fish have already been caught by the two establishments down the river. The cotton- markets have been during the last week on the whole very considerable, and at the ex- treme prices of the preceding week. The demand for yarn continues to be very good.— Manchester Advertiser. The last accounts from Yorkshire represent the demand for woollen cloths as rather improving at Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, & c. Several new purchasers h. ive spjieared in the market, and caused some stir both In cloths and stuffs At this dead season of the year such an event is looked upon in a very favourable light. At Portsmouth quarter sessions last week, Charles James White, aged 26 years, was convicted of embezzling and stealing monies from his employer, Mr. Thomas Wildey, banker, of Portsea, in whose service he was in the capacity of clerk. The recorder, J. L. Dam- pier, Esq., in p issing sentence, said that offences of this nature, b ing of no common magnitude, must be punished without mercy, or the credit and confidence so necessary between mercantile people and those about them would be lost. The . sentence of the Court was— that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of 14 years. A woman named Charlotte Stroud, who was brought up to Bow- street on Saturday, on a charge of having administered to a man named Singer, from Frome, Somersetshire, a narcotic drug, and with having, while he was in a state of insensibility, taken from his pocket, tile sum of 47/., was ultimately committed for trial.

We rejoice to be able to give them a Sat contradiction. His Majesty enjoys the best health aad spirits. The King still resides at the Royal Lodge, and has given up liis intention of visiting Brighton this season, ft is undoubtedly the royal intention to visit London in the spring, but his Majesty will pass the winter at Windsor Castle— Age. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 25 — The Sultan lias resolved to send an Extraordinary Embassy to St. Peters- burg, for the purpose, which has been officially an- nounced, of obtaining from the Emperor of Russia a modification of the terms of peace, especially a shortening of the terms of the military occupation of some provinces, nod a diminution of the indemnities. The ratifications of the Treaty concluded on the 14th are now being drawn op, and, as soon as they are exchanged. Colonel Von Duhamet, in the Russian service, who is now here, will go to Erzeroum to carry the news to General Paskewitsch. All the Russian prisoners of war are already at liberty, and will be immediately embarked on board Austrian anil Sardinian ships and sent to Boargas, Sizeboli, and Odessa. Immediately after the exchange of the ratifications, the Porte will give firmans tor the Black Sea, and a great number of ships uf all nations are getting ready to sail with the first fair wind. In the capital the most perfect tranquillity prevails, and, however burdensome the fulfilment of the terms of the treaty mav prove to the Porte, the satisfaction at the conclusion of" the peace, and the end of the burdens of the war, is too plainly expressed to leave any doubt of the general conviction that peace was necessary. GIBRALTAR, Oct. 8.— Uti Tuesday morning With instant), his Majesty's ship Britannia sailed up the Straits, and yesterday morning the Mehille followed. The Dartmouth frigate, stationed here, got under weigh, and communicated with the last. An American frigaic, said to be the Constellation, from the westward, looked into the bay on Tuesday, and then made sail to the eastward. VIENNA, Oct. 13.— This morning we have re- ceived here the melancholy news that the city of Trieste nos inundated on the i'. th instant, after a very dreadful storm. The waters penetrated into the highest parts of the city, and destroyed a great number of magazines, especially those in the port. Happily the catastrophe occurred during the day, otherwise a great number of the inhabitants would have perished. VIENNA, Oct. 15.— The mail from Constanti- nople has just arrived. It confirms th? news of an extra- ordinary mission to St. Petersburg!], for. the purpose of soliciting frmn the magnanimity of the Emperor of Russia Mine alleviation in the rigour of the conditions imposed upon the Nedsclub Effendi, and several officers, distin- guished by their personal qualities, and knowledge of languages, will attend them. HAMBURGH, Oct. 17.— It is affirmed, that on thc27th of September a Russian squadron of eleven large ships of war was seen to pass by Calmar, steeling as it was thought towards the Sound. The Hamburgh Reporter of the 2<) tb instant, after givine the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Turkey, adds the separate article relating to the Princi- palities of Wallachia and Moldavia. By this article the sovereignty of the Porte becomes purely nominal, with the exception of the annual tribute, which is to be paid under certain limitations. No fortified point upon the. left bnnk of the Danube is to be retained by the Turks; and the Turkish cities on the left bank of the Danube are to be restored to Wallachia, and incorporated with that principality. The Porte relinquishes all its former claims tor contributions or forced service, in considera- tion of a pecuniary indemnity to be hereafter determined. The inhabitants are to enjoy unlimited freedom of trade, and in consequence of the burdens borne hitherto by the Principalities for the use of the Porte, they are to be exempted from payment of their yearly tribute for the space of two years, to be reckoned from the dav of the total evacuation of the Principalities by the Russian troojts. One of the chief objects assigned by Russia for the invasion of Turkey has thus been effectually secured. It is understood that an Austrian loan, at four per cent, has been contracted for, of 25 millions of guilders, bv X. M. Rothschild, and four other banking- houses at Vienna, for the redemption of the Exchequer Bills issued by the Austrian Government two or three years ago; and, as the Government did not think proper to contract loans at that period, they are now going to take the Exchequer Bills out of the market. The con- tractots for the above loan bid one price ; therefore it will be equally divided amongst them. It is said that the bidding was 117, and soon after went up to Advices from the Cape of Good Hope state that the locusts had again appeared in the district adjacent to Graham's- town, and had comment'd their destructive operations. Many farmers having sown largely this season, WCTC threatened with calamitous consequences, had not the biids, the declared enemy of the locusts, and which follow them everj where, come in time to save the crops. The late speech of the King of the Nether- lands, to the States- General at the Hague, on their opening gives a flattering picture of the general prosperity of bis kingdom. He makes no allusion to the affairs in the east, or to foreign « flairs at all, except a general statement that he is on the most amicable terms with all other powers. The marriage of his only daughter, the Princess Marianne, to Prince Albert of Prussia, is announced— and his . Majesty expresses his hopes of a happy termination of the war in the East India Colonics — hopes, which, it seems, there is but. dittlercliance of being gratified. Letters from Buenos Ayres of the I5th of August give a more favourable account of the affairs of the Republic. ' It was fully believed at that date that all the new arrangements of Government would be speedily ar. d satisfactorily completed- DUBLIN, Oct. ' 24.—' i'lie supposed murderers of I { anion have at length been apprehended. Not less than 2( 1 individuals were taken up this morning, all charged with being concerned in the murder— Upon the conviction of Hanlon's murderers, whoever they may be, a callows will he erected in Thomas- street, upon which all of them will be hung together. From flic many atrocious outrages which b. ive of late disgraced the counties of Sligo and Roscom- mon, aggravated in no small degree by the recent attack on the Uev. Mr. Shaw, a numerous meeting of Magis- trates of twill counties assembled at Boyle on Monday lust, to jidopt such measures as they deemed most effec- tual for their suppression, Lord Viscount Lorton, a nobleman who has ever lent the aid of his influence and e* rrtions to the vital interests of his country, presided on the occasion. It was the unanimous opinion of the meeting, that the revival of the Insurrection Act was ab- solutely nei. vssary to render life and pioperU secure, and restore that tranquillity which heretofore existed, A meeting of Magistrates for a Similar pOr- po6 « to the above, was held on Thursday, in the Court- house of Sligo. Tile increase of outrages loudly called for such a measure; and when it is known that almost evtry gentleman's bruise in this county has been con- vened into a garrison, and that the plunder of fire- arms is made an exclusive or primary object, these precautions will not aupear to iiave been unnecessarily adopted. It is only where they can strike unseen, or fire a house, while its devoted inmates are slumbering in peace, that these prowling fiendt triumph in their iniquity. The meeting was a private one align Journal. We are very sorry to hear a report very pre- valent this morning— and from a source that leaves little doubt of the fact— that the Rev. John Going, rcctor of Moyaliffe, county Tipperary, was shot dead yesterday evening, by a band of assassins, a short distance from the town of, Thui- le « , which he had left about seven o'clock, in his gig. The Rev.

The Hooghley, of COO tons, departed yester- day from St. Katharine Docks for the new settlement of Swan River, fully laden with agricultural implements, machinery, stores, & c., livestock, and 216 passengers. The Caroline, George Canning, and Medina, are load- ing for the same place in St. Katharine Docks, and will follow the Hooghley in a short time. The triumphal arch to the King's new Palace in St. James's Park will be embellished by representa- tions of the most illustrious warriors of Great Britain. The figures will be eight feet in height. It will also be adorned with military trophies. The key stone of the middle arch, fronting the park, has been sculptured in the form of a lion's head. In the City the complaints about the dulness of the times continue unabated. Another Welsh Judgeship is vacant by the death of W. Kenrick, Esq. of Broome, near Dorking.

' It appears that in New South Wales the average prices of the Sydney market exhibit butter at ' Is. \ M. jter lb., eggs at '. ij. pcr dozen, fowls at tr. per couple, ducks at 5s., geese at 111*., and turkeys at 15 » . each. All other necessaries bear prices in proportion. MALT TAX.—( From the Morning Herald.)— It is said, and. we have little doubt of the fact, that Ministers are seriously considering the propriety of re- pealing the duty on malt and beer. A'proceeding, how- ever, like this, is one which cannot be decided upon without much consideration, surrounded as it is with difficulties. The Government would no doubt be glad to bestow such a boon upon the agriculturists and landed proprietors, by way of securing their " votes and inte- rest;" but then there is the revenue— the declining re- venue— to be taken into account. In short, if the malt tax be rcnealed, some other tax, equal, if not greater in amount, must be resorted to. We have reason to know that the tax contemplated is one on property, which, upon condition of a repeal of the malt duty, the landed pro- prietors might be induced to give their assent to. Miss Paton lias, it is understood, renewed her engagement at Covent- garden Theatre, upon terms equally liberal, under existing circumstances, on both sides. The Maid of Judah will be again revived: and a new Opera, with music by Bishop, will be produced in the course of the season. The young Earl of Pembroke has taken pos- session of Wilton House, near Salisbury, one of the finest residences in England. It was nearly rebuilt by the late Earl. In addition to a fine library, which con- tains many printed books in English poetry of great ra- rity, are some curious manuscripts, in the hand- writing of Sir Philip Sydney and his sister, the Countess of Pem- broke, which have never been printed.

Important communications have lately been made bv dis'inguished members of the Bengal army to Lord William Bentinck, Governor- General of India," on the subject of certain General Orders issued in November 111211, directing the reduction of certain allowances here- tofore enjoyed. The first of these is signed by Brigadier General Macleod and nearly SO Officers of the Artillery, which stases the " dismay" caused by the orders in question to himself, and those under his command; anil requests his Excellency the Governor- General, to inter- cede for them wit h the Authorities at home. The second document is the memorial of Lieutenant- Colonel Haw- trey. commanding the 3d Light Cavalry, and of his brother Officers. No. 3 is from Lieutenant- Colonel Comyn, of the Bengal Native Infantry, and all the Officers of the corps present. The Medical Officers unite with all the foregoing, to complain of the proposed cur- tailments. All at present is respectful submission ; but private letters announce that Lord William Bentinck has become the object of bitter contumely. Letters from Madras state that the government of Mr. Lushington was very unpopular, and that an ex- pectation was entertained of his resigning his post. The main- mast of the Briton has been fitted with a tin pipe, for the conveyance of the voicc in bois- terous weather from the quarter- deck to the main top. The pipe is about one inch in diameter.

WHALING.— Van Diemen's Land, Hobart Town, May 22 We are happy to state that our indus- trious native youdis arc actively and successfully em. ployed in their whaling operations. We aie convinced that upon the inexhaustible riches of our fisheries, the colony v. ill materially depend for its support; and con- vinced also we arc, that our native youth will, in a year or two, shame our merchants, by having sperm whalers of their own. On Tuesday last Mr. Lucas's fine schooner arrived with a full cargo of oil, the produce of the pre- sent season. On Monday a large whale was seen near Betsey's Island ; Mr. Lucas's boat, and Messrs. Wal- ford and Young's boat, both started in chase. The ani- mal unfortunately rose immediately under Mason's boat, and in an instant the six men wete in the sea, fortunately unhurt, the boat being beaten to atoms. Mr. Blink- worth, without a moment's delay, gave up the pursuit of the whale to pick up his friends, all of whom, we are happy to say, were saved— Tasmanian.

HOPS.— Notwithstanding the failure of the hops, they do not advance in any thing like an adequate proportion to the falling- ofl of the crop. On Monday last, Alexander Robertson, Esq. College, Elgin, killed a woodcock in the parish of Birnie. This is the first one of these birds of passage which has been seen in the country this season, and is considerably earlier than they usually make their appearance in Scot- land— a circumstance which, in all probability, presages an early and severe winter.— Elgin Courier.

A STORY NOT MUNCHAUSEN'S.— A Mr. T. was lately amusing some friends in a public room with the wonders of America, and stated that a few summers ago pigeons flew over the town of Baltimore in such flocks, that the sun was sometimes darkened for hours, and they were sold in the market at 4d. a thousand. Mr. T.' s hearers ventured to doubt the truth of the story, when a Mr. W. interposed, and said he perfectly be- lieved the tale, ftu an equally extraordinary circumstance happened to himself. " When I was a boy," said he, my father's farm was regularly visited by myriads of crows, to the great detriment of the seed, & c. When driven from one field, they went to another, and we never could pursue them further than an immense elm tree on the boundary. At last, I bought some bird- lime, with which I completely covered this tree, and contrived to direct the flight of the intruders to their favourite retreat. I then fired ; when, alarmed by the report, they flapped their wings and soared, tree and all, completely out of sight, and I never saw either them or the tree from that day till this!" Two Scotohmen having occasion to go into a public- house, asked far a certain quantity of whisky, whitJi was of course readily granted. In the plenitude of her politeness, the landlady inquired whether they should like a little water to mix with it. " Deed, my good woman," replied one of them, after tasting the whisky, I think they would be very ill to ptease that could na t » k' it wi' what it has got." THE FORGET ME NOT.— Numerous and ex- cellent as are tile annuals which present themselves at this time of the year, there are none to which we turn with more pleasure than the Forget Me Not. To Mr. Ackermann the public owes a debt of gratitude for the large source of amusement which he has afforded by the introduction of these elegant publications, which com- bine the first specimen? of the graphic art with literary productions by authors of acknowledged merit. We arc glad to find that the Forget Me Not takes the best and surest means not to be forgotten; and, many as are the competitors for public favour, it fully keeps pace with the improvements of the times, and maintains its position u ith the foremost. The Forget Me Not for 11330 is em- bellished with the usual number of engravings, the ma- jority of which, we think, exceed in excellence those of former years. There is not, perhaps, any single one equal to the splendid specimen of the " Seventh Plague of Egypt," in the volume for 11128; but the plates taken collectively are of a superior order. The " Place de Jean D'Arc," by Le Keux, is a brilliant specimen of the art; and it is near!* equalled by " The Spanish Prin- cess," " The Orphan Family," and " The Exile."— In the Literary Department, the names of Mrs. Hofland, Miss Mitford, Miss Landon, Mrs. Baillie, the Ettrick Shepherd, Delta, . J. Galt, T. Hood, Dr. Bowring, Haynes Bayly, J. Montgomery, Barry Cornwall, the Editor, aad others well known to Fame, are assurances of 110 common treat. The Red Man is an excellently told tale, and were it not for its length wc should be tempted to extract it. We are enobled to inform tile Public that Mr. ACKERMANN intends this year to add another to the class of Annuals for Youth, by the title of " Ac- KERMANN'S JUVENILE FORGET ME NOT;" and from the taste and judgment displayed in the elegant work which he provides for children of a larger growth, we are authorized to expect a corresponding degree of merit in this new undertaking. Among the contributors to it, are, Montgomery, the Ettrick Shepherd, the Old Sailor, Delta, W. H. Harrison, John and James Bird, J. Luscombe, William. Mary, and Richard Howitt, John Clare, Rev. J. H. Caunter, Rev. F. Skurray, Rev. Dr. Booker, Mrs. Hofland, Miss London, Miss Jewsbury, Miss Isabel Hill, Miss S. Strickland, Mrs. Wilson, Miss Jermyn, and Mrs. Emmerson. LONGEVITY OF A HOUSE.— Lately died in the possession of Mr. Giles Tatchell, of Ludwell, Wilts, a little pony, which lived to the extraordinary age of 37 years; 24 vears of which he had been a good servant to the late Rev. Dr. Jackson, of Donhead St. Mary, and the last 13 years, equally as faithful to his late master; and what is the more remarkable, that he never received any mark or blemish during his life, and appeared per- fectly sound in every respect as a young horse at his death. THE LITHOTRITE— There is reason to believe that the severe and often fatal operation of cutting for the stone will soon be completely superseded by the use of the new instrument ( the Lithotrite). Mr. King, lecturer at the Medical School in Aldersgate- street, used the in- strument a few days ago with perfect success in the case of a man named Plutford, aged 110 years, who resides at Norwich. The stone was about three quarters of an inch in diameter. Dr. Charles Clarke and several other gen- tlemen were present, and witnessed the process, which lasted 20 minutes. ROHAN ANTIQUITIES.— A coin of Constantino, in small brass, was last week found at the War- bank, Keston, in Kent; where about a year since, extensive remains of Roman buildings, presumed to be those of Noviomagus, had been discovered. Several very fine rein deer, which were lately landed in Swansea, from Lapland, arrived in Bristol by the steamer, on Saturday, and are now being pubKely exhibited there. In June, July, August, and September, fte quantity of rain which fell was 15, f!' ilf! inches. This ex- ceeds twice the average amount of the twenty preceding years. In the Netherlands, German glass being cheaper than bricks and mortar, architects are not at all sparing of windows; and it is not uncommon to see a room of 15 feet square with four windows HI feet high. LOCOMOTIVE CARRIAGES.— It lias been cal- culated that by means of rail- ways laid down on the high- road from London to Liverpool.' the mails drawn by a light locomotive engine might travel the distance, 204 miles, in 12 hours, carrying douhje their present comple- ment of passengers: and this at a cost of fuel not exceed- ing 10.!., or scarcely one half- penny per mile, while 2id. per mile would amply cover the interest of capital for engines, water stations, & c. One of the engineers whose locomotive en- gine is running at present on the Liverpool and Man- chester rail- road has staked his credit, that, in a very short time, he will convey 150 individuals at one trip, from one place to the other ( the distance being upwards of 30 miles;, in an hour and a quarter, at an expense not exceeding one halfpenny each; and that the scientific men upon the spot are of opinion that he will find no dif- ficulty in redeeming his nledge. Goods, of course, will • presently be conveyed with a corresponding increase of speed- and diminution of expense; and wc tiiittersmntr that well- informed men in Lancashire areof opinion that, when the steam- carriage conveyance is brought into full operation, the saving to the public in the conveyance of passengers and goods between those two places alone, will amount to 000- 000/. per annum. A few days ago, as a boy about 3 years old, the son of Mr. O'Conner, of Summerhill, was eating siime hot meat, a piece stuck in his throat- The parents of the child were ftom home, and one of the servants, confounded with fear and anxiety, seized the liitle suf- ferer in her arms, and ran along the street with him until she came to surgeon Hutton's, where she was admitted, but the surgeon was out. The child was at this time writhing with excruciating torture— his face became quite discoloured— his eve- balls were swollen— his limbs qui- vered, and, to all appearance, his minutes were nearly numbered. In this dreadful state he was hurried by the servant into the shop of Mr. Graves, an apothecary. At this moment the Surgeon- General chanced to be galloping by, and seeing the crowd, he pulled up, dismounted, and pushed into the shop," whera he saw the child gasping; he asked for an instrument called a probang, but was told tlley had- it not in the house. There being no ti""" foi delay, the Surgeon- General opened his penknife, slit a small cane he held in his hand, tore a slip off the chiltl's frock, wound this round the top of the slender rod, thi ust it down the throat of the expiring sufferer, dislodged the meat, opened the breathing passage, and thus rescued the infant from the jaws of death. Fight between a Man and a Mastiff.— On Saturday morning last, about four o'clock. Mr. Somer- will, proprietor of the Pettington Lime Kilns, North Devon, arose from a little cabin he had fitted up on the spot, to attend to the process of his kiln, and, having effected his purpose, lay down again without undressing, having over his clothes a smock frock. Soon after, the door of his cabin, which he had neglected to fasten, was thrust open, which alarmed his little dog lying on the floor, and caused him to bark, when the intruder, which proved to be a very large mastiff dog, seized the little animal, and shook it with great violence. On loosing his prey, the little dog leaped upon the betl, anil sought the protection of his master; thither the mastift'pursued him. and, placing his paws on the bed, laid hold of. not the tlog, but his master, whom he dragged from the bed to the ground, where he h? ld him lor a while; at length Mr. Somerwill caught his assailant by the throat, and regained his legs, but it was with the utmost difficulty he could withstand his powerful cnemv. Fortunately fur him, a piece of hoop iron was within his reach, which served Vilr. i for a weapon, wherewith he continued to beat the head of his shaggy antagonist till he had cleft his skull, and finally destroyed him. Mr. Somerwill re- ceived no other injury than the alarm and fatigue occa- sioned by the contest, the thickness of his clothes having provpd a protection from the fangs of his canine foe. The owner of the savage animal remains undiscovered. Mr. Webster, of Leven, had a dog, in ap- pearance much like the Dutch pug, but a species of the terrier, which A. Keith, portrait painter. Edinburgh, took a likeness of. which being shewn to the animal, he immediately run off, and has not since been heard of. The dog had been ten years about tile house.— Edm* burgh Paper. EXTRAORDINARY FACT.— A few days since no less than 25 earwigs, alive, came from the head of a young female residing at Heullis, near Newport I She bad complained of severe pains in the head, and was at- tended by Mr. James Hawkins, surgeon, of Newport. It Is supposed that the insects must ha\ e been generated in the head Monmouthshire Merlin. A clock- maker of St. George's- in- tbe- East, London, has invented an apparatus which, by the sole agency of a clock, wakes the workmen, and lights a candle, at any desired time, night or morning. POTATO CROP — The Potato crop, upon which the bulk of the working classes tn this country, as well as in Ireland, principally depend for their winter's sub- sistence, promises to be very abundant. The fields are now in progress, of being cleared ; and though on clay bottomed soils the produce will not exceed an average, yet on dry field lands it has not been so great for many years. In the present depressed state of our manufac- tures, it is gratifying to think that, during the ensuing winter, the poor will at least have the benefit of cheap meal and potatoes— Stirling Journal. There is now in Carlisle a gourd which was grown in the neighbourhood of Carlisle, and weighs not not less than 531b., and is 4 ft. 2 in. in circumference. BONNET BURNT BY THE SUN.— On Sunday last, says the Elgin Courier, a neighbouring congrega- tion were thrown into a state of the utmost alarm by the occurrence of a circumstance of a very singular kind. In the middle of the service the Leghorn bonnet of a lady— how will the reader credit the fact ?— actually took fire by means of the concentrated rays of the sun emitted through what is termed a sky- hght. When the bonnet, was discovered to be on fire by those who were placed beside the lady, they instantly rushed to it, and in their anxiety to smother the rising flame, alarmed her so grently that she naturally screamed aloud. The conse- quence was that several of those in more distant parts of the Church, not knowing the nature of the occurrence, precipitately rose from their seats and made for the door, under the impression that the Church was falling. At Cambridge- heath, on Sunday, a whole family narrowly escaped death, in consequence of eating champignons, which had been cooked for mushrooms. It is stated in the French papers that news had reached Egina, the seat of the Greek Government, on the 6th ult. that 4000 Albanians had penetrated the defiles of Mount Octa, and were advancing on Lividia and Attica. This event occurred during the armistice of Adrianople, and before the signature of the treaty of peace. The Greeks were prepared to meet the invaders with a force of about 8000 men, under Demetrius Ypsilante. SMYRNA, Oct. 20.— The British Consul for this city has arrived, and immediately entered on his functions. Two Turkish soldiers of the irregular troops, who attacked a caravan on the road from Guselissar, have been taken bv the police and executed. Their heads have been exposed for these two days at tile gate of the palace of the Government. The plague has broken out at Kara, Nissar, and Ushac, and its ravages are very extensive. Messrs. Thievenin and Maguier, two French officers, have been here for Some days, who intend to enter into the Turkish service. Both served under Na- poleon ; the latter was on the Staff of Marshal Ney, and has published at Paris several pamphlets on the present war between Russia and Turkey. The news of the ap- proaching conclusion of peace has induced them not to go any farther. In the last sitting of the Mexican Congress, the 5th of September, a decree was read, that all Spa- niards or foreigners taken with arms in hand on the ter- ritory of the Republic should be instantly shot on the very spot where they are taken, without the least delay to prepare for death, those surrendering as prisoners of war excepted.— Mexicans taken in the Spanish ranks to be likewise shot without trial. The draft of this decree had been referred to the Minister of War. A short time ago, a species of volcanic moun- tain was discovered in the environs of ^ arrebruck, Prussia. It is in the form of rather an irregular cone, of ti or 000 feet in height, and coverotl with wood, except towards the summit, where there is no vegetation but moss. The heat of the soil increases gradually towards the summit, from whence issues, through a small crater of 80 feet, such warm steam that an egg may be boiled by it in' a few minutes. BRISTOL ASSIZES.— The second gaol delivery for this city was held on Monday at the Guildhall, be- fore the Mayor, Sir Charles Wetherell, the Recorder, and a Bench of Magistrates. The Jury returned a true bill against James Ackland for a misdemeanour, in pub- lishing a libel upon Mr. John Winter in the Bristolian. KING'S BENCH— Wednesday.— Willcock v. Mason In this case a verdict of SI. was given to the plaintiff, as compensation for an injury done to his gig, by the negligent driving of the defendant, the proprietor of a stage- coach to Barnet. In the Court of King's Bench on Saturday, a Mr. Chapman was charged with practising as a surgeon before he was 21 years of age. The prosecution was at the suit of the Apothecaries' Company ; the Jury found the defendant Guilty Mr. Brougham : " I hope, my Lord, that the Company will think they have gone far enough, and that they will not consider it necessary to pray for judgment."— Lord Tenterden : " I cannot dic- tate to them." At the Corsham meeting of Magistrates, on Wednesday, Daniel Cole, Mr. Ash's gamekeeper, was fined ill. for shooting at and wounding one John Tanner in the legs George Richards was fined in the mitigated penalty of 10/. for an offence against the Game Certificate Act, and committed for three calendar months in default of payment of the fine— And on Friday, at the regular Justice meeting at the same place, Thomas Bath,_ of At- worth, shopkeeper, was fined 13s. 4< i. for driving his horse and cart without reins— One of the overseers of Sherston, for negligence in his office, was fined 20s— A man of the name of Clark was fined 1j. for profanely swearing in Court, and twice afterwards for repeating his offence. He said he would be d— d if he would pay it; but on being taken into custody, his p- ide seemed to abate as the ter- rors of imprisonment increased : he paid the additional fines also, and was discharged. On the first day of the sessions for the county of Somerset, held last week, a memorial was presented by R. P. Caines. Esq. coroner, against the inhabitants of Ilminster, stating that many deaths had occurred there out of the common course of nature, without inquests having been held on the bodies of the deceased ; and the memorial further stated, that in two recent instances Mr. Hanning, one of the churchwardens, refused to let in- quests he held; one being a case of sudden death, and the other an accident by being thrown from a horse, though Mr. Caines had gone to Ilminster for that pur- pose. Mr. Hanning's objection was founded on the ex- pense incurred by such proceedings, which he affirmed were totally useless in cases where the deceased was seen to die, ami there could not be any doubt of the cause of his death. The Magistrates, after taking the matter into consideration for a length of time, and after hearing Mr. Manning's statement, came to no decision on the subject.. SALE of the FORTHINGTON BREWERY ESTATE. — On Tuesday unusual interest was excited at the Mart, by the sale of the Forthington Brewery Estate, with 16 public houses attached, in Weymouth and Dorchester. The property was put up in four lots, by order of the executors of the late Wm. Bruen, Esq. The sale room was crowded to excess, and the biddings were uncom- monly spirited. The property was consigned to the ham-, mer of Mr. W. W. Simpson. The first lot comprised the Forthington Brewery, at Dorchester, with suitable store- houses, counting- houses, brewer's residence, gar- den, stabling, and other buildings, malting, & c., to- gether with the following inns, public houses, and hotels. — The Crown Inn, the lied Lion, and the Queen's Arms public houses, and the New Hotel, in Dorchester; and the Old Rooms' Tavern, the Bear Inn, the Boot, the White Horse, the Three Tuns, the White Hart, the Duke of Cumberland, the Royal Oak, and the Fisher- man's Arms public- houses, in Weymouth, with sundry other buildings, shops, ar, d tenements, attached thereto. Part of the property is leasehold, for various lives and sundry terms, two of the public houses heing held for 1,000' years, and others for less periods. The remainder of the lot is freehold. The public houses and inns are let to different tenants, at low rents. The whole, after ft spirited competition, was sold for 10, tt00/.— The second lot comprised a part of the Forthington Field Estate, known as Cadrow's Whole Place Living, opposite the brewery; comprising 411 acres of arable land, and one acre and a half of pasture; held for three lives, aged 2?, 47, and ^ 2 years, subject to an annuity of 110/. tluring the life of 72, and a quit- rent of 3/. 2j.

PLANTING at FOREST TREES.— Much discus- sion has taken place, and great diversity of opinion exists, respecting the advantage or disadvantage of manuring and tilling for trees intended for timber, more especially of that kind required for naval purposes. The common opinion appears to be, that tile slower the growth of the tree tile harder and more durable the timber, which is supported bv many good authorities; and among the number by Sir Henry Steuart, in his " Planter's; Guide," who maintains that the rapid growth of trees is incompa- tible with their solidity and durability; and consequently, that manuring the ground is detrimental to the produc- tion of good timber, and ought to be guarded against in a national point of view Sir Walter Scott, who is also considered good authority upon this subject, is against the use of manure trom the opinion that it produces 110 effect whatever on the growth of trees after the first few years, and that it is, therefore, money thrown away. Mr. Withers, of Holt, Norfolk, is a zealous supporter of the opposite position, and in a Letter to Sir Henry Steuart, just published, he most ably handles the subject, and adduces facts and authorities which appear almost conclu- sive, to prove that the richer tile land the more rapid the growth; and the quicker the growth the better will be the timber. It appears that heiween every year's growth there is a porous space, the more frequent recurrence of which, in proportion tn the rest of the wood, must neces- sarily lessen the quantity of solid timber; and therefore, even allowing that each year's product of a tree of slow growth is of Itself harder than that of an oak grown in a more generous soil, ( which Mr. Withers docs not admit) still the whole mass would not be so solid, in consequence of the porous layers occupying a much larger proportion of a given space. INDIAN CORN.— The editor of the Times says Who would grow this triisli that can grow -" heat ? By itself the Indian corn makes a nauseous clammy bread of a bright yellow: colour, and if mixed with wheat, it has not half the heart and suppoit in it that ate to be found in wheaten and rye bread, mixed in the same propoi dons. Let any one, in proof of this, look at our hardy and muscular population of the north of England, who have no other bread than that of this latter description. The two kinds of corn are there sown, grown, and reaped to- gether, and are called hard- corn or meslin ; and a Whole some nourishing biead it makss. At die two extremities of Italy the poor have two kinds of bread, the produce of their respective regions. At the foot of the Alps they have a bread made of chesnuts. In the Abruzzi and Calabria their bread is constituted of tliis Indian corn, and the two kinds are equally wretched. The chesnnt bread of the Alps occasions nodosities, swelled joints, and ultimately contracted limbs. The Indian com bread gives swine the mange, and man the scurvy. But where nothing else can be produced, man must be content to sustain life on such terms as he can. Captain Mignan, in his interesting volume of his Travels in Chaldea, speaking of Bagdad, says, " Two months ago, young and beautiful girls were publicly sold in the city for a sum equivalent to ten pounds sterling I and many of these hapless creatures were Christians I" At the Exeter quarter sessions, a man and two women ( inmates of a house of ill- fame in that city) were charged with robbing a farmer named Langman, and of causing his death by leaving him ill the passage in a drunken state in such a posture as to cause suffocation. They were found guilty 011 both indictments, and ordered to be transported for life. The parish church of Penshurst, Kent, was entered a few days ago, and the thieves contrived to carry off the communion plate, consisting of two silver ftaggons, one cup* and one paten, marked with a porcupine, and the arms of the Sidney family. They likewise stole four table cloths and four napkins, mirked " Penshurst Church," with a piece of silk embroidered with silver. CONCILIATION IN IRELAND. We have read the following papers with more delight than we can find words to express. We are particularly pleased that they have emanated from a pa- rish in the county of Fermanagh : — The Declaration of the Landholders of the Parish of Clogherney, Oct. 1, 1U29. At a time when, from various causes, the feelings of the inhabitants of this part of Ireland are excited in a greater deirree than usual on political and religious sub- jects, we, the Protestants and Protestant Dissenters of the parish of Clogherney, feel ourselves called 011 to express our sentiments in the fullest manner, to prevent the pos- sibility of doubt in the opinion of other persons as to our principles and intentions. Our first principle is an un- qualified submission not only to the letter of the law, but to every line of conduct that can reasonably be deduced from it, and we hold ourselves bound to support the Con- stitution of these realms by every legal method. As sub- jects of a free Constitution we claim as our birth- right the undisturbed exercise of our religion, and the right of opi- nion on every subject, and we acknowledge in every other person in this kingdom the same right— in all cases to be used in obedience to the existing laws, and in peace and charity to all sects and descriptions of persons. We feel that in the heat of religious and political opposition what may not be intended as a cause of offence, may to other persons appear to be intended as such, and we admit the propriety of conceding to the feelings of others even what we may consider innocent, rather than endanger the ex- istence of that peace and goodwill so necessary to the prosperity of the land we live in. We disclaim and ut- terly abhor the principle that would persecute any man for his religious or political opinions, so long as they are kept in due wbedience to the law, and to the peace of society ; and we pledge ourselves to promote this truly constitutional principle 011 every occasion both in public and in private. We ardently desire to extinguish forever the recollec- tion that the inhabitants of this country have at any time been arrayed in opposition to- each other. Without com- promising our own settled opinions, or expecting that others should depart from theirs, we earnestly invite all inscriptions of persons to join with us in our endeavours to alter the present state of irritated feelings, and to restore universal peace and confidence. With this strict spirit of obedience to the law, and regard for public and private happiness, we will resist the advice of anv person that can encourage us to a contrary line of conduct, and we trust by our independence of principle as a free people, and in dutiful obedience to the law on all occasions, we shall prove that we are not unworthy of the blessings it has pleased God to bestow 011 our country in the Constitution as it is by law estab- lished. We, the Roman Catholics of the parish of Clogherney, have heard the declaration signed by our Protestant friends, inhabitants of the same parish, and we entirely join in their truly constitutional feeling of what is the duty of every mail at this time, in which religious- and political discord have produced effects ever 10 be lamented. We rejoice in having seen the time in which the good sense of all reasonable men is convinced that the mode in which a man may please to worship the Supreme Being, is, under our truly free Constitution, left to his own choice. We repeat the assertion of our Protestant friends, that his hitth- right gives him thiit choice, and we acknowledge this right in every inhabitant of these realms; always in obedience to the law, and in every instance, and under every form, to be exercised with a strict regard to the feelings of all persons, in peaceable and respectful deportment to all other sects and denomi- nations. We set a proper value on that kind decla- ration of our Protestant friends, in which they profess to concede even what they consider innocent, rather than endanger any interruption of friendship, so neces- sary to all ; and we pledge ourselves in every trans- action of our lives to make a suitable return for this expression of their good will towards us. We disclaim and detest the principle that would persecute any man for his religious or political opinions, provided they are kept in such bounds as the peace of societv requires. This, the firm conviction of our minds, shall guide our conduction all occasions, and we will duly impress it on our families. We trust and ardently hope that this is the last occasion in which it can be necessary for the inhabi- tants of this parish to give any assurance of friendship or conciliation to each other; and we concur most truly with our Protestant friends in the opinion, that the person who would teach us to think uncharitably of others and act injuriously by them must be the common enemy of all. I'eeling that we enjoy perfect religious freedom under the Government of these united kingdoms, we will prove by our conduct, that we are sensible of what is due to such a Government, in a strict observance of the law, and in peaceable and conscientious conduct both in public and private. The Landholders of the Parish of Clogherney are of the Established Church 95 Protestant Dissenters 332 Roman Catholics 714 1141 Of this population have assented to the above declaration 1130 Have refused 11 1J41 The above 1130 who have assented to the declarations are heads of families, having a fixed interest in the land by lease; to these may be added the young men of the different families not yet separated from their fathers' houses, the men servants, cottiers, holding by the year, who have not in any instance objected to the declaration made by the heads of families— Dublin Evening Post. A report is very generally circulated in this city that Sir T. B. Lethbridge has recently disposed of his Dunster estate, amounting to 5.00( 1 acres, to a Staf- fordshire gentleman named Beach, for the slim of 100,000/. and should this prove conect, it may be considered as in- dicative of the worthy Baronet's intention not to contest the representation of the county, in the event of a disso- lution of Parliament Bath Journal. The tendered resignation of Mr. Justice Bur- rough not having been acted 011, and that Judge's health being greatly unproved, he has expressed his willing- ness to discharge the duties of his office for some time longer, since no successor hits up to the present time, been nominated Morning Herald. It is said that Mr. Peel is known among his friends to have no great taste for public life, which re- cent circumstances, it is added, have not tended much to increase. The present fine weatherhas proved extremely propitious to the wheat- sowing in most distticts; though on some strong lands, which were completely saturated with the late rains, neither the plough nor the harrow has yet been found to work kindly. NEW MODE or MOUNTING SHIP GUNS.— In consequence of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having received from Vice- Admiral Sir P. Malcolm highly favourable accounts of the advantages of Capt. Marshall's new liiode of mounting ships' guns, their Lordships have directed one side of the main deck guns of the Donegal, 70, at Sheerness, to be fitted up with the carriages of that officer's invention. There are only six Field Marshals in the British army, viz. the Duke of Wellington, appointed June 21, 11113; the Dukes of Cumberland and Cam- bridge, Nov. 2fi, 11113; the Duke of Gloucester and Prince Leopold, May 24, liilli; and Karl Harcourt, July 19, 1821. March of Machinery.— The week before last the poor flail- users of Handsworth, near Sheffield, were not a little disconcerted by the arrival at that place of a travelling threshing- machine, which, at a guinea a- day, presently got into operation at two or three farm- yards, making a surprising riddance of work, and provoking from some of the inhabitants execrations more hearty than wise against that spirit of invention which substitutes a day's wotk of inanimate matter fot weeks of manual labour. NEW WHEATS.— The plants of young wheats . look very promising on those lands which were first cleared of their old erops. Generally, however, the farmers haye ' had tli coinplain of the excessive foulness of the soil, which was choked with weeds after such long continued rains, and for a time it was so sloughy, that it was absolutely impossible to work the horses at all Kent Mercury. The proprietor of a grass farm of 3G0 acres, within 7 miles of Aytesbury, has resolved to keep it un- occupied for the next half year to save die rates! it had been advertised to be let several months but no one offered to take it. The " turn out" is reaching farmers: forty tenants in Lincolnshire have recently given notice to quit their farms. The clergy of Sheffield have been long de- sirous of attempting a more extended and efficient dis- charge of their pastoral and parochial duties, and of pro- viding a more general and systematic visitation of the parish, with a view to its greater moral and religious improvement. In this two- fold purpose, they have adopted the plan of dividing the population of the parishes into eleven equal districts, which districts they have dis- tributed amongst themselves, each of the eleven perma- nently resident clergy undertaking the spiritual superin- tendence of the district which has been assigned to him. A lady of peculiar habits residing at Remen- ham nine months since, engaged with a daughter of a tradesman of Henley to be her housekeeper and com- panion. A few days since she died, bequeathing to this favourite of Dame Fortune 15,800/. and her household furniture. A gentleman of Norfolk sent last week, as a present to a frend in town, a hare, a brace of pheasants, and a brace of partridges, packed in the hollow of a large turnip. SWALLOWING A WASP.— As soon as possible, dissolve salt in the mouth, and swallow the saliva; re- peat it while there is a tcndcncy to inflammation or swelling. All dangerous effects will thereby be prevented. For the Sting of a Wasp, or Bee.— Moisten salt with a little water, and instandy rub tile part affected with it.

Nothing can show their superiority more than the approval of Families of distinction, as well as the Public in general and Medical men in present practice.

It is affirmed that General Diebitsch has replied to the ipplication made to him for passports for the Turkish • tnbassy, which is going to St. Petersburgh, and an- iwered that he did not think himself authorised to do his without first applying to his Sovereign, but that lie lad no doubt that his august master would look upon his step of the Porte as a fresh proof of its sincere desire D consolidate the restoration of the amicable relations of Russia. The blockade of the Dardanelles by the Russian leet is now raised, and merchantmen of all nations pass the Hellespont without obstacle, and without being searched. FRIDAY. OCTOBER SO.

THE RIVAL CARRIAGES— Messrs Brathwaite and Ericsson, the proprietors of the Novelty, and Mr. Robert Stephenson, the proprietor of the Rocket, are both engaged in improving and perfecting their carriages. The former is now repairing at Mr. Fawcett s yard. A considerable alteration has been made in Air. Robert Stephenson's engine, which has greatly increased, its powers. It was tried again on Saturday, when it drew the enormous weight of 20 tons at the rate of from 18 to 2U miles per hour. ; According to a calculation recently made there are 103 canals in Great Britain, extending 2882 miles, formed at an expense of thirty millions sterling.

A very large and respeclable meeting was held on Tuesday, at St. John's House, Winchester, to revive the County Auxiliary to the British and Foreign Bible Society. The Lord Bishop of the diocese, in tak- the chair, expressed his hope, that the proceedings of the day would be carried on with that devout temper with which it may be hoped the blessing of the Most High would be connected. His Lordship then proceeded to show, from returns procured in various parishes of Hampshire, which had lately come into his hands, that a lamentable want of the Holy Scriptures still exists even in this county. In one of these parishes, among 251 per- sons who can read, there were found only 90 bibles. In another, among l! l! who can read, 27 bibles. In another, 44 bibles among 94 such persons. In a fourth, 193 bibles among 5GB persons. In a fifth, 205 bibles among 479. These facts were all verified. He had taken them at random from a mass of papers; they had not beer, se- lected, they were merely specimens. From such facts lie came to this conclusion, which his Lordship expressed with great energy and solemnity, that much more must be done before this could be called a Christian nation, or a community sufficiently furnished with the Holy Scrip, tures. It would be necessary to expedite the business of the present meeting, as it happened, undesignedly, to be held on the day when a recent mournful event would call him and others to follow to the gtave one long known and greatly loved in this diocese. The object, however, of this day's meeting, was not unsuited to such a solem- nity ; since our only solid support in death, and all our hopes for eternity, must rest on the truths which the Holy Scriptures reveal. His Lordship then called on the Rev. T. P. White to read the Report of the past proceedings of this society. The Report stated the success which had attended its efforts in various parts of the county. Sir T. Baring, Bart, referred to the period, fifteen years ago, when he had occupied the chair at the first establishment of this society ; looked back with pleasure on his connexion with it, and would cordially unite in renewed efforts to extend its blessings. The object of this society was to afford the best of all benefits to the whole human race. His own residence in India in an early part of his life had brought under his immediate observation the superstitions and delusions which pre- vailed there. He had seen widows burned alive, and aged and infirm parents thrown into the Ganges. These were pitiable objccts ; but they were not more pitiable than a man in England without a bible. If a man does not take the God of the bible for his God, he must set up a god of his own in his imagination. The Hon. Ba- ronet then gave some pleasing instances of the effects of a serious perusal of the Holy Scriptures on the heart and conduct of plain people in humble life; and expressed his conyiction that the amount of benefit produced by this means would never be fullv known in the present slate of existence. He rejoiced that this society united Christians of all denominations in the pursuit of one good object, that of charity to the souls of men, which had been truly described as the " Soul of charity;" and he trusted that, as Treasurer, the society would not in- flict 011 him the odium of holding a sinecure. The Rev. Chancellor Dealtry considered these public anniversaries to be of great importance. They had the effect of warming our hearts, of giving a fresh glow of kindly feeling, of fortifying our belter principles, and of sending us forth with a stronger determination to do our duty in this great and good cause. The concurrence ot Christians was also < 1 real good, as by it they were brought to think better of each other, and to part with their mis- conceptions and prejudices. Should we be reproached with thinking too kindly of each other, it must be re- membered that the very crown of all religion is that cha- rity which hopeth all things and thinketh no evil. It was sometimes said that public meetings of this kind were needless, as every end would be answered by the simple publication of reports ; but facts prove that merely pub- lishing these will not induce all to read them. Hence many are still uninformed of the true and specific objects of these societies. But warmed and animated by the ar- guments, facts, and details, which arc on these occasions brought forward, people go to their homes impressed, and communicate their impressions to their families, and their neighbours; and hence the means of usefulness are in- creased, and the Holy Scriptures more extensively circu- lated. The Rev. gentleman then adverted to the mar- vellous progress which this society had made during the 25 vears of its existence. Were the nueslion asked by a stranger, to whatquarter of the world have its operations been directed ? that question might be answered by ano- ther, whither have they not been directed ? Never before had the world beheld such a polyglot, not constructed merely for the libraries of the learned, but spread over 145 of the languages of living men to teach them the way of truth and happiness. At this moment there were greater demands than ever. Here Dr. Dealtry read an extract of a very recent letter from Amboyna, containing encouraging accounts of the progress of scriptural know- ledge ami of the declension of idolatry ; and a letter from Petersburg, containing information of the removal of obstacles which had there been thrown in the way of cir- culating the Holy Scriptures, so that now there were large opportunities of circulating them in 15 languages through a vast population. The Rev. Chancellor con- cluded by assuring the meeting that time and experience, and early and long connexion with the society, had but rendered Ins attachment warmer and stronger than ever, and that he ( irmly believed it has had the blessing of Divine Providence. The Rev. Mr. Clark, vicar of Mitcheldever, had long entertained a hope that this society, though apparently nearly defunct, would at length revive on the applica- tion of some proper stimulus. He was happy to know, that there were so many new subscribers in this city. The great general aims of the bible society had his warmest approbation. He cordially approved also its spirit of union, and the common ground it furnished, on which all Christians could meet. Such a union tended to pro- mote the harmony of heaven. The weapons of contro- versy were thrown aside, without the gates of this insti- tution, as a useless and rusty pile. The result of such efforts must be an increased knowledge and possession of the blessings of salvation, at home and abroad. The Rev. gentleman closed a very eloquent and impressive speech by relating a most pleasing and affecting instance that had comc within his own knowledge, of the support afforded to the minds of a poor family by a simple de- pendence oil the promises of holy writ. Rev. A. Dallas, rector of Wonston, conceived that those simple means bv which the heart of an individual is converted to the cordial belief and sincere practice of religion, should be spread and propagated till they be- came co- extensive with the whole human race. Those simple means are the scriptural truths of faith, repen- tance, love to God, and goodwill to men. Efficient as those principles are to convert one soul, they are equally as adapted to effect, as means, the conversion of the whole world. The Rev gentleman concluded by relating a very striking anecdote of the case of a gentleman in the Navy, who had been led to a serious and most effective study of the bible, by having accidentally observed the effect of its truths in producing perfect contentment in a poor man who never retired to rest without seriously perusing the sacred volume with earnest prayer. He then urged every one present to ask himself two questions, and to suffer Conscience honestly to reply : Do we value the bible ? and what do we do towards encouraging its circulation ? Rev. Mr. Short, rector of Worthy, had always kept his mind open to conviction as to the merits or demerits of this society ,- but he had never yet heaul any argument that could shake his attachment to it. He was ever friendly to discussion, because his maxim was, if we are right, we should try to lead others ; if wrong, we should give up our own opinion. In the union promoted by this society, no compromise was made, no concession de- manded. He was grateful to know that the bible was now circulating in 145 languages. He had spent all his life in a university, and it was an agreeable surprize to him when he read the list, that of three- fourths of the languages he had never even heard, till he had thus read their names. Rev. I. O. Zillwood had often admired a saying of the excellent Lavater with reference to the procedures of divine providence; that saying was, " I can wait." It was a sentiment congenial with the expectation of the Prophet, Though the promise of God tarry, wait for it: because it shall come, and it shall not disappoint you. Fifteen vears ago, on a similar occasion, he stood alone in this city, the only clergvman who look a part in the first formation of this institution. It was impossible for bun not now to rejoice at so different a state of things as that assembly exhibited. [ The attendance of clergymen was very numerous. ] The Winchester Bible Association had already begun its operations, and he would mention, as an encouraging circumstance, that on the list of one of llie collectors there were already 97 subscribers of weekly pence, 44 being free donations, and 53 for bibles. The Rev. gentleman mentioned affecting instances of apparently good impressions on the minas of prisoners who had been under his instructions. Rev. W. Thorne considered it to be a great source of encouragement, that, in this good work we are co- ope- rating with the whole design of the mission of the Saviour of mankind. All history and all experience would prove the evils that idolatry and superstition had inflicted on the human race. These evils the full diffusion of spiritual light was best adapted to remove. The blessing of God might well be expected to accompany the circulation of his own word, and that unity of spint which characte- rized the bible society. Rev. Prebendary James was happy to state that the deficiencies of the Holy Scriptures which had been dis- covered in the diocese of Llandaff, while it was under the inspection of the Right Rev. Chairman, were in a course of supply. The society had his cordial approba- tion, as the most effective piece of machinery ever put in motion by man to publish the word of God. Mr. John Bullar had felt it his duty, as Secretary to the Southampton Bible Society, to attend this meeting. The Southampton Society had originated from this. He had not been at all surprised to hear those statements which had been so impressively made from the chair, as lo the state of several parishes in this county, with re- ference to their want of the Holy Scriptures. It was by ascertaining a similar want in Southampton and its neigh- bourhood, that a strong case had been made out, 15 years ago, which had led the committee of this society to urge the formation of a society at Southampton. An exami- nation of Southampton and its neighbourhood liad proved that among 41 5 persons there were found no more than 539 bibles and 128 testaments. The town, like many other places, had outgrown its institutions, and tlie neg- lect of public worship had led to the neglect of the ifible. So appalling a case called forth immediate and vigorous exertion. 4 todetjf was formed and liberally jiatro'uized. ( The town and neighbourhood were divided into districts. Many young men, and others more advanced in life, took their weekly rounds, and collected the small instalments of persons who wished to supply themselves with bibles or testaments at reduced prices. When any subscription was paid up, the subscriber received a ticket which en- titled him to his book. This mode of collecting was afterwaids superseded by a Ladies' Association. It had been objected that the work of collection was unsuitable to the sex. It was forgotten that Paul himself had com- mended those " women who laboured with him in the gospel." It was not duly remembered, that the great Founder of Christianity himself had peculiarly honoured the sex ; and that of women it had been truly said, they were " last at the cross and earliest at the grave" of their Lord. Experience had proved that none but women of steady Christian principle would long continue in the ne- cessary devotedness of labour and diligence required in carrying on a Bible Association. Such women, however, through God's blessing, had been found in Southampton, who, like the sisters of charity that have sn much honoured another body of Christians, have made the duty a serious business, not indeed to the neglect of other duties, but with a steady zeal, above all praise. Their good offices in this way had led to other charitable institutions, particularly to the sale of blankets paid for by small weekly instalments, to the teaching of nume- rous adult females to read, and to various collateral deeds of mercy. With these associations have been combined half- yearly public distributions of the bibles and testa- ments paid for by weekly subscriptions. Of these he confessed, while the expeiiment was untried, he had not been without his fears. He feared the feelings of the re- ceivers would be hurt, that they would conceive them- selves healed rather as beggars than purchasers, and that there would be an air of ostentation about the whole affair, alien from the meek and quiet spirit of pure re- ligion. The event had, however, disappointed his fears; and he owned that he expected much more permanent good from the meetings held in the evening, when plain people were at leisure for these public distributions, than flom ar. v other public meetings of this society. They engaged the social spirit of human nature in promoting pure feligion. The information then communicated in animated addresses from persons well acquainted with the operations and effects of the society had the effect of most usefully enlarging the minds of plain people to con- sider the spiritual necessities of others, and thus to en- courage that desire to relieve them which is a perpetual result of the operation of the great principles of love to God and good will to man, oil which all revealed religion is founded. How much it was possible that this good end might be effected, persons might easily convince themselves, who would peruse one of the most delightful books that had every passed the press, the lately published Memoirs of Oberlin, a Christian pastor in a rugged part of Switzer- land. It was the happy tendency of these frequent meet- ings and associations to make the plain man in humble life feel that he was thus elevated into the honourable moral rank of the joint benefactor of his species. Most advantageously did this amiable and kindly temper con- trast with that sour malignity which was generated so extensively in this country 37 years ago by political meet- ings. There men met to encourage strife and hatred; here to promote mutual and general charity. That these meetings have most effectively promoted the great end of the bible society, would be testified by the number of bibles and testaments sold in Southampton, amounting now to 12,74* 0 copies. The circuit in which these hail been sold, included probably about one sixteenth of the population of Hants. He would leave it to that meeting to calculate whether the county at large had not a great deal yet to do. He would take leave to remind this as- sembly, that the whole county has raised not 3.^ times as much money as Southampton. But the whole county ought to have raised 16 times as much as Southampton. Therefore,— but he would put the corollary of this pro- position into a form that might spare the feelings of the gentlemen, and pique the curiosity of the ladies. Pudet have opprobria VOBIS. Et dici potuisse, et non potuisse lefelli. G, Eyre, Esq. briefly moved the thanks of the meeting to the Right Reverend Prelate who had so ably filled tiie chair, and had taken so warm and sincere an interest in the proceedings. This motion was seconded by Sir Matthew Blakiston, Bart, who expressed his high grati. fication that a Prelate so disposed to promote the spiritual welfare of this diocese had been called to preside over it_ His Lordship, in acknowledging the vote of thanks, expressed his warm approbation of that spirit of Christian love and union with which Christians of different deno- minations unite in this great and good work. He had lately received in the Island of Jersey, from a missionary whom he saw there, and who had long been resident at Colombo, a translation of the book of Common Prayer into the Cingalese language. He hail read with much pleasure on the title page of that book the following words; Printed in Colombo, at the Weslevan Press, at the expence of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, except the Psalms, which were presented by the British anil Foreign Bible Society." This he consi- dered to be a pleasing instance of what can be done by acting in concert in the spirit of Christian harmony. He would now close the business of this meeting with the last paragraph of the Parent Society's last report, " When you further recollect the multitudes who vet want this holy book, say, is it a time to ielax, or fold your hands, is not the commandment rather, Go forward ! Should you not say, In the name of our God we will set up our banners, through God will we do great things." The collections amounted to lioZ. The annual meeting of the Southampton Auxiliary Bible Society was held on Wednesday, in the Town- hall, which was completely filled by a very re- spectable audience. The chair was taken by Sir M. Blackiston, Bart. The Report having been read, from which it appeared that the number of bibles and testaments sold this year had exceeded that of any former year, the chairman rose and observed, that having been yesterday at the meeting at Winchester, he was much impressed with the energy and seriousness with which the Right Rev. Prelate who presided there urged the conducting of meetings of this kind under the influence of a devotional temper. He considered this to be a mighty and glorious society, whose object was to raise the race of man from the falling con- dition into which a departure from God had plunged them, to aspire to the honour of being what the Scripture denominates sons arxl daughters of the Almighty. The Bible was not a mere code of morals— it was an instru- ment by which the spirit of God renovates the soul of man. Hence the prayer of our Lord: Sanctify them by thy truth ; thy word is truth. lie would therefore urge the friends of this sociciy to pray earnestly that, while llie word of God is circulated, the influence of his spirit may accompany it. Rev. Dr. Wilson thought it desirable that a spiritual tendency should ever be given to these meetings: such had been the wish of his Diocesan yesterday at Winches- ter. The society rests on the most important consider- ations that can be urged on mankind. He conceived that there never had been greUer need to call the Christian Church to recognize the supreme authority of the Holy Scriptures, People were too apt to lay hold on single truths, and to consider thetn too exclusively. It was therefore most important, to recur continually to the pure principles of the word of God. There was much scepticism abroad. The Christian ministry was designed to call men to a renewed communion with their God, to rivet afresh the link that connects earth with heaven. The Bible Society subserves the same purpose, and is preparing the way for the future purposes of God towards man. He trusted that the increased perusal of the Bible was preparing the way for its being universally recognised us the sole standard of opinion. Rev. Archdeacon Grace was cordially attached to the Bible Society. He considered it as one of the noblest institutions that it had ever entered into the heart of man to form. He would rather, indeed, attribute it to a higher source, and say that it had proceeded from the Father of lights. He would unite in praying for it, with the earnest aspiration, " 0 that truth and righteous- ness may extend over all the world." Rev. J. W. Carey heartily concurred in the designs anil proceedings of this society. He had the pleasure of being donnected with the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge; a society venerable for its antiquity and its objects. That society was in its constitution exclusive. In this society he could concur in the cause of one Lord and Master with all who aimed to communicate to man- kind at large the words of eternal life. The Rev. Thos. Atkins, in moving the third resolu- tion, expressed himself to the following effect:— Amidst the encouraging features of the times in which we live, I will venture to affirm that the one that appears pre- eminently so, is the attention which is paid to the dif- fusion of the Sacred Scriptures. This was the mode by which, under the blessing of God, the reformation itself was effected. The Scriptures were brought from the con- cealment, in which for a thousand years they had lain as hieroglyphic!;, and as dead as a mummy in an Egyp- tian tomb, they were raised to their proper elevation as the source of all authority on subjects of religion, and the arbiter of all disputes. It was by constant appeals to ihetn on litigated points that the work was carried on, and the Bible became in the hands of those barded he- roes the reformers, as a moral lever by which they sub- verted in a degree that unwieldy mass of superstition which for ages had been accumulating its impositions on mankind. Still the reformers had but few of those advantages which we enjoy. The number of the copies of the Sacred Scriptures was small, and the difficulty of increasing them was vast. The subject of biblical interpretation was but little studied and less understood The religious bodies were placed in an attitude of hosti- lity against each other, on subjects of doubtful disputa- tion ; the mass of the people was brutually ignorant; and if the reformation was as the rising of a moral sun, like the one in the natural world it shed its rays in the first instance only on sopne loftier eminences, whilst the humble spots, the unenlightened multitude were enve- loped in almost midnight gloom. But now we labour under few of those difficulties with which they had to contend. By the discovery of the art of printing, and the . astonishing improvements lr. ade in that art, copies of the Scriptures mav be multiplied to an indefinite extent, and circulated with the celerity of a telegraphic dispatch. Mcr. e correct principles « f biblical interpretation begin to . prevail: a spirit of conciliation amidst the different sects of religion has happily increased : the public mind is moused and instructed ? and elements of change aie in active operation, which may produce results the magni- tude of which no earthly power c » n describe. The ex. tensive diffusion of the Sacred Scripture is of vast im- portant t. as it will give additional effects to the preach- ing of t! j" gospel. The latter is the appointed instru- ment for rlie renovation of the world, for it hath pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them, that believe it is as subsidiary to this end, that I rejoice in the wider circulation of the word of God. Let it be re- membered that the preached Gospel does not operate on us in the way of a charm. Religion, though divine in its origin, is reasonable in its nature, and the mode in which it is implanted in the mind does by no means contradict rne established principles of our mental constitution. It is not by a blind impulse that men are led to that which is right, but by the anterior perceptions of an en- lightened understanding, and the consequent concurrence of a renewed will. This renders it of the greater importance, that there should be a principle of intelligence in the minds of his auditors to which the minister of religion can appeal. The voice of the living preacher, though that preacher be endowed with all the argument that can convince, and all tile eloquence that can persuade, will be likely to vanish into air, excepting this exist, and from whatever cause it may arise it will be increased by the reading of the word of God. A comparison of that which is preached with that which is read, will arouse attention, deepen impression, force conviction, and carry a renovating in- fluence into every compartment of the inner man.— Nor are we to expect an influence less beneficial from the circulation of the Sacred Scriptures, in the extirpa- tion of error and the establishment of correct views of divine truth. Errors have always appeared in the uni- versal Church to pollute its purity and disturb its repose, generated as they often have been by unsanctified know- ledge, they can only flourish in the shades of ignorance. Let, however, the broad day- light of the Scriptures shine upon the spot they occupy, and the healthy at- mosphere of eternal truth be made to circulate itiere, these rank weeds deprived of their appropriate aliment will languish and die. There is a practical good sense in the mind of the multitude, which, unfettered by sys- tem, unwnrped by prejudice, will operate as a conser- vative principle against the influence of those errors which sirring frpm dogmatising ignorance or scholastic pride. If it be objected that all the results that might have been expected have not as yet been achieved, I would reply that much may have been accomplished where but little meets the eye, and that we ought to take into our calculation the evils which have been averted, as well as the positive good attained. For my part I cannot but regard it as a proof of the prospective wisdom of the Most High, that he should anticipate the scenes of na- tional distress through which this country has passed, and in which even now it is found, the effects of which press with the greatest severity on the lower grades ol society, by instrumentally diffusing amongst them SKII a portion of scriptural knowledge. as has supported suffer- ing, subdued irritation, and suppressed the ebullition ol those feelings, which, had they issued without restraint from an ignorant, afflicted, exasperated populace, might have poured the fury of a moral volcano over this highly favored land. Should, however, no effect as yet have been accomplished correspondent with the cause, it must be evident that the circulation of the Word of God bears the more evidently upon it the impress of a preparatory scheme. For on the assumption that God has a design to bless the world, on assumption let us remember by no means gratuitous, since on tire dark scenery of the future there is delineated by the perils of prophecy, a brighter picture of holiness and happiness than hope ever realised or faith enjoyed ; antl considering this as yet in reserve, what I would ask, could be so effective in preparing for this result as the object in which we are engaged ? Let the incorruptible seed of the Word be widely scattered, and deeply implanted, ai d though for a time it may seem to bi lost, yet when the Spirit in his more copious effusion shall be poured out from on high, a living virtue shall impregnate the mass, fruits of supernal excellence and endletS duration shall appear, and " the desert shall blossom as the rose." Rev. J. Davies spoke as follows: Without denying the doctrine of a superintending Providence altogether, with- out excluding Jehovah from all effective interest in the government and administi ation of the affairs of this lower world, it is impossible, I conceive, not to recognize in this institution a most powerful and favoured instrument for the accomplishment of bis great designs at the. pre- sent period of its history. We are scarcely in a condition to form an adequate idea of its importance. The subject has become so familiar to our minds, I had almost said so common place to our apprehensions ; that like some of the most magnificent and salutary operations of nature which are daily presented to our notice, it has lost, in a great degree, that power of impression which the sudden and unexpected burst of such a phenomenon upon our view could not have failed to exert. We have been accustomed to contemplate the society under all the variety of its aspects; in the vast extent of its resources, and in all the magnitude of its achievements; in the noonday splendour of its prosperity, as well as amid those clouds and partial eclipses by which its bright- ness has been occasionally obscured, that, like the great orb of day, it has almost ceased to attract cur attention as any thing out of the ordinary course of nature. We have so frequently witnessed in thought and imagination its mighty strides over tire length and breadth of our desolate globe, we have so often listened to the records of its proceedings and met to celebrate its triumphs, that those intense emotions of gratitude, admiration, and delight, with which its operations ought to be regarded, are too prone to settle down into a habit of cold and insipid approbation. Those who attendeil the meeting of yesterday doubtless recollect an impressve reference which was made by one of the speakers to those feelings with which the departed spirit of a real Christian would be likely to contemplate the proceedings of an assembly like the present. To form indeed a just conception of the character and importance of the society, to be duly sensible of the effect which it is calculated to produce upon a devout and enlightened mind, we must imagine one of our pious forefathers of two or three centuries ago, raisetl from his tomb, and presented with a map of the globe as brought within the range of its operations. Were such a strange spirit to appear for a while among rrs, one who hail left our world just as the volume of inspiration was breaking loose from its fetters, and was vet rare and precious on the earth ; were such a one to he informed pf the existence, and the achievements of this institution, and of its almost innumerable ramifica- tions, and dependencies : were lie to visit its sacred and capacious treasury, and to be told that in common with its affiliated branches in different parts of the earth, it had been the means of circulating in one quarter of a century more than ten millions of copies of the sacred volume, an amount larger, according to the best calculation, that had been circulated throughout the whole progress of the preceding 1800 years; were he moreover to be reminded that the same inestimable volume, confined until a period comparatively late to a few learned and dead languages, is now read by the people in nearly 145 living languages, and that throughout every rank and condition of human life, from the monarch on the throne to the peasant at his toil, there is lire same dis- position evinced to aid the progress of the cause; that from the highest to the lowest point of latitude, from the encircling arch of the first meridian to the remotest line of eastern or western longitude, scarce a spot of any considerable magnitude can be discovered, which does not exhibit some pleasing result of the labours of this society. I do confess that I think the effect upon such a former inhabitant of our world, would be perfectly rapturous and over- whelming. Is it too much to suppose that such a one after a deliberate survey of this wonderful work of God, would close his eyes afresh with tire lan- guage of the venerable patriarch^ trembling in delightful extasy upon his lips, " Lord how lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation ?" Is it extravagant to imagine ( for Ac would best know the value of the Scriptures and of the'blessings they are calculated to impart), that he would return to his com- panions ill bliss with feelings refreshed and animated by the scene, and that in common with them he would strike his haip in a tone of deeper and louder melody of thanksgiving and praise. I am aware indeed of the probability of forming an undue estimate. of what has already been accomplished by this society. We may not be altogether free from some illusion while we survey the extensive and animat- ing scene of its labours. But there is also the opposite danger of undervaluing those efforts. We know well how little this Institution hath done in comparison of what remains to be done. Great and small are merely relative terms. They mean little or mucli acccording to lire usual and acknowledged standard. And upon that principle of calculation the Bible Society hath certainly done much. It hath done more than the combined and collective efforts of mankind had ever done before wiih a view to the same object. It has done enough I will venture to affirm, to fill heaven with joy and delight, earth with gratitude and hope, and hell with vexation and alarm. To the last part of this assertion I was much struck with what I consider a strong testimony in the language of an excellent East Indian missionary recorded in the last report of the Parent Society. I do assure you, says that pious and enlightened man, that the going forth of the word of God, accompanied as it is by education, is becoming a terror to heathenism. Of this combined effort of Scripture and education in throwing down the barriers of superstition, and in bursting asunder the chains of ignorance and idolatry, a zealous ecclesiastic of the 18th century appears to have been quite aware; for, in reference to the labours of the reformers in diffusing these blessings, he addresses his flock in terms somewhat like the following. " They have invented a new language, which they call Greek. You must be carefully on your guard against it. It is the mother of all heresies. I observe in the hands of many persons a book which they call the New Testament: it is a book full of daggers and poison. As to the Hebrew, my dear brethren, it is cer- tain that no persons can learn it without instantaneously becoming Jews." Allusion has been made to the recog- nition of the paramount authority of Scripture as consti- tuting the grand principles of the reformation, in the course of yesterday I had an opportunity of observing a picture which apjreared to me illustrative of this fact, as well as of the hostility with which it has always been regarded by the powers of darkness and idolatry. In this representation, Luther, surrounded by a bansl of his as- sociates, is exhibited as engaged in translating the Bible with a candle burning before him, while three personifi- cations of evil assisted by the prince of the power of the air are eagerly endeavouring by means of suitable instru- ments to extinguish that light. Many vehement blasts frcsa the same quarters have been directed against the translations and operations of this Society, but instead of e « tuiguishioc this candle of the Lord they have only had the effect of kindling it un'o a brighter blaze, and rf. dif- fuaing its beams to a wider range. Such indeed must be the effect of every instrument em- ployed against the holy cause, for it stands intimately connected with the welfare and extension of that Church which is founded upon a rock, and against which the gates of hell slu. ll not prevail. In endeavouring to form an estimate of the labours of the Bible Society, and of rhe probable effects of those labours, I have sometimes imagined the same combination of effort directed t. o the circulation of some book of known and acknowledged mischievous tendency. Suppose so many hundred so- cieties in til2 four quarters of the world had been insti- tuted for the express and avowed purpose of circulating such a treatise. Suppose it translated into so many languages, and poured forth like a flood of iniquity over the whole face of the population, what erroneous ana incalculable evil— what pestilential and contagious in- fluence must we have expected to result from such a measure. Can we conceive any thing more likely to poison every spring of moral feeling, and to impregnate the whole mass of society with the seeds of impiety, profligacy, and death. We should require no statement of well authenticated cases ( though such would not be wanting) to convince us of the malignant process that was carrying on. Independently of the evidence of individual instances, we should argue upon the broad principle of cattsc and effect, and should expect the former to be followed by the latter with all the certainty of a law of nature. Now, without ascribing to the Bible any abso- lute and inherent power, acting in the way of an opus operatum, it is surely not too much to claim that it should be placed on a level with other books, and that it should be regarded as calculated to do good, as much as they are to do evil. And taking this low ground of general tendency, and leaving altogether out of our estimate the sacredness and divinity of the Bible, the good which it must be assumed to have done, and is in course of doing, ill the wide extent of its diffusion, by means of this institution, is beyond all human calculation. Such an organ for the dissemination of the pure word of God must have been important in every condition of society, and at every period in the history of the world. But to tile circumstances of the present times, and to the general aspect of- the xrolitieal world, . it seems to be adapted ill a more than ordinary degree. The popular mind has now been excited by revolutionary agitation, and expanded by education and instruction beyond all former precedent. Mankind have now awoke out of their lethargy; and have undertaken to assert their rights. The yoke of despotism has been broken, and the forms of government are gradually recasting on either side of the Atlantic. In such ail order of things above all others the soothing directing and controling in- fluence of scriptural truth, is imperatively demanded. That influence which alone can cement together in mu- tual harmony, peace and goodwill, the discordant ele- ments of civil commotions and strife ; that influence which will at once appease the tumults of anarchy, and restrain the exorbitancy of power. Who knows but that in the designs of an all wise Providence the late troubles in the east in which the standard of the false Prophet was dishonoured and defiled in the dust, were intended to open a way for the volume of eternal truth into the heart of Turkey. Who can tell but that the disciples of Ma- homet, bleeding with their recent wounds, have been thereby prepared for the express purpose of receiving that oil of consolation which that volume so richly sup- plies. Who can tell but that ere long that emblem of victory which is recorded to have blazed on high before the eyes of the founder of their capital, will wave in la- dient glory over the mosque and the minant, inscribed not with the hostile intimation " Hac vivee," " Conquer by this;" but with the pacific and encouraging motto " hac vive," Live by this. The classic soil of Grece is already open to the labours of this and other congenial institutions, and imbrued by the principles and ennobled and elevated by the spirit of tl e Bible, that region of lofty and interesting associations will rise to more than its pristine grandeur: and it may be hoped that at no distant period the extensive republic of South America, taught by their intestine commotions, the hopelessness of attempting the regeneration of states, without the in- fusion of Christian principles, will welcome at every point of access the same messenger of peace. 1 o rise to the level of their duties, to keep pace with the progros of the times, and to stand ready to enter upon every open- ing of usefulness which may present itself. It is obvious that this society must relax in none ot its exertions. In the noble simplicity of its principles— principles which blend together the varied lines of talent, rank, and cha- racter ; of titles, denominations, and professions, with- out neutralizing one shade of their former distinction into one blessed harmony of holy and affectionate brother hood. It is possessed of the surest pledge under the divine blessing of permanent efficiency and success. Upon that principle so sound, so godlike in its character, I trust that no encroachment will ever be attempted, but that in the full and unreserved recognition of it, the society will proceed in its bright career of mercy and good will; thus embodying the spirit of this maxim of the sainted Baxter, " Unity in things necessary, liberty in things unnecessary, charity in all." Rev. J. S. Baker pressed the necessity of prayer for the success of the society, andconsideied that blessings might be expected in proportion to its constancy and fervour. Mr. John Bullar congratulated the meeting on the cir- culation in this town and neighbourhood of more than 12,700 bibles and testaments, so that there could be no occasion to complain of any want of local efficiency in this institution. But there was reason to regret that the disposable finances of the society, by which they could aid in the general plans, were not greater. If the nrure recent inhabitants would feel it their duty to assist this society as many had done, whom, in the lapse of 15 years death had removed, the committee would soon be em- powered to enlarge their remittances. The large circu- lation now made in the town and neighbourhood of tes- taments to Sunday schools, considerably reduced the funds, because these testaments were sold at a very low price, and as many as 9li( i copies had been issued during the last year. If young persons in respectable families would make small collections of petty weekly sums, they would materially assist this department. He should have the pleasure of presenting this morning the sum of hi. 12. t. raised by a few young persons. To show how available such means are, he would mention that the sums received from the same, quarter in a course of years was nearly H0/. He regretted that the Bible Society had not a larger measure of support, on a ground that ought to interest every friend of his species; he meant on the ground of its tendency to improve every where the mental and moral condition of the human race. There were abun- dant proofs of the absolute tendency of revealed religion to do this. He held in his hand a copy of the Acts of the Apostles in the language of Tahiti in the South Sea, actually printed there. Hire was a foundation laid for the ameliorating influences of literature, as well as of religion. To those who took an interest in the history of our species under various and peculiar circumstances, he would earnestly recommend the perusal of Ellis's Poly- nesian Researches: a book in which the coequal progress of religion and civilization of every kind is admirably traced out in the midst of a most instructive picture of a state of society new to European observation lie hoped that the friends of missions would feel that the cause of these important institutions ought not to be promoted at the expence of subscriptions abstracted from the Bible Society. Where the missionary goes he must deposit the Bible, otherwise the good he effects will scarcely survive himself. The report read this day had taken strong ground, in urging the duty of a liberal support of the Bible Society, from the unexampled facilities possessed by this nation of obtaining access to almost every part of the earth. When our island was first discovered by the Romans, it was alluded to by their poets as the re. molest of all barbarian nations, and as cut off by the unsociable sea from all the world : that every sea is to us what a late statesman once called it, the turnpike road of the universe. It carries our commerce to every point wheie access can be had. Never did more active commercial spirit pervade a nation, never was a people more restlessly alert to open every possible channel of traffic. But all this eagerness, all these means of com- munication open the world to us for better and higher purposes. With reference to these, the plain scriptural maxim is, that no man liveth to himself; whence arises that other matchless precept, Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. And consider this as a debt ever paying still unpaid. The Committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society have acted in the spirit of British Commerce. They have never found an opening, without making a venture. Let us support them in con- tinuing thus to act. And it is but to look to the variety of openings that are presented, to convince ourselves that a support is needed as active and decided as that with which we manage our own business. In Western am! Southern Africa we have access without hindrance. In the islands of Mauritius and Madagascar we are wel- comed. In the latter island, thousands can now read, though six years ago there were not half a dozen. We have openings in the inland Seas, ill the Mediterra- nean, the Red, tile Black, the Caspian, and the Persian Gulf. In Smyrna we have means of distribution. A late traveller through Greece, who distributed the Holy Scriptures there, had found that while not more thar. 3 or 4 persons asked him for alms, hundreds of people had asked him for books. From Malta the Scriptures flow into various parts of the coasts of the Mediterranean, and into Egypt and Abvssinia. We have openings imo the dreary regions of Siberia. Though the empire of China is shut against us, it is impossible to hinder our putting the Holy Scriptures into the bands of thousands of Chi nese on its outskirsts. In India, beyond the Ganges, we have access to the rapidly advancing settlement of Singa- pore in Malacca. We have access to the Burman empire, with its population of 19 millions, who are very generally able to read jnd write. As- to India, within the Ganges, there is absolutely no hindrance to access. The same may be said of New South Wales, New Zealand, lire numerous South Sea Islands, parts of South America, the West Indies, the North American Indians, Labrador, and Greenland ; while, on the continent of North Ame- rica, we are animated by the kindred spirit of the people of the United States, who arc at once directing their eneigies abroad, and making them bear with vast effect ai home oil their rapidly increasing population. He considered it, therefore, to be clearly our duty to go forward, considering this good work, prosperous as it h_ a » been, as yet but in its infancy ; answering steadily to its calls as a matter of impetative and constant duty, ami indulging a firm though humble confidence that a design to spread every where the great principles of love to Gad, and goodwill to man, must meet the approbation of Hint whu forgets not any work of faith or labour of love. ' It remained only for him to say, tint their noble president who had been detained from the meeting this day, had s-. nt his usual handsome annual donation. In proposing the thanks of the meeting to Lord Ash town, he was con- fident that his Lordship's patronage was as cordial as it hail been stedfast. The collections exceeded 4( 11. The Rev. Mr. Elwin, Rector of Bradfield St. Clare, has very liberally, and without solicitation, matle an abatement of 15 per cent, on his tithes for last ynar. DORSETSHIRE. " AT the GENERAL, QUARTER SES.

CARLSRUHE, Oct. 20.— The Duke of Buck- ingham passed through this city a few days ago, and likewise Mrs. Wyse ( whose maiden name was Letitia Buonaparte), coming from England. It must he in the recollection of our readers that a . Mrs Wyse, ( the daughter of Lucien Buonaparte) attempted some time back to drown herself in the Green Park. The lady has, we should think, lived to congra- tulate herself upon the failure of her experiment; for she is now the bosom friend of a Noble Duke, at present so- journing on the Continent, who, in company with his fair guide, a short time since, attempted the ascent of Mont Blanc. We are not apprised of the success of this undertaking, as our correspondent left them at Chamouni, when in a forward state of preparation for the journey.— Brighton Gazette.

OCTOBER 31, A numerous meeting took place on Tuesday at St. John's House, to revive the County Auxiliary to the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Lord Bishop of the diocese in the chair. A full and correct report of the proceedings appears in the preceding page. On Tuesday the remains of the Venerable Gilbert Heathcote, Archdeacon of this diocese, were de- posited in the family vault at the College. At a very full and respectable meeting of the cre ators of the late Andover Bank, holdenon Wednesday last. Sir Lucius Curtis, Bart. in the chair, it was stated by die solicitor to the assignees that there was a balance of 28,000/. & upwards in hand, and the reason a dividend had not been declared was, that four Chancery suits had been commenced by creditors claiming a preference over the general body. Proposals were then read for a settle- ment of these suits, and the creditors unanimously agreed that although it might not be advisable to accept the terms offered, yet tin f it would be very desirable to come to some amicable arrangement, and consented to the Assignees compromising the suits in any manner they should think fit, at the same time expressing a desire that it should be done with as little delay as possible. The Assignees weie thanked for the zeal and discretion they had shewn in conducting the affairs of the bankrupts. A spod show of sheep was penned at our lair on Friday the 23d inst. but the attendance of dealers was not nujnerous; business, however, was more brisk than at Weyhill, though the improvement in price did not ex- ceed 2s. per head, and this may be said to be confined to ewes. Lambs were not in much demand, A few pens of prime ewes sold as high as 29t. The general prices were— ewes 18J. to 27*.; wethers 22J. to 21k.; lambs 12*. to 24.!. The cheese pitched was estimated at nearly 200 tons, which proved to be more than equal to the demand, and consequently a considerable reduction in price was submitted to.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY— On Thursday even- ing last, about seven o'clock, as Mr. James Reeves, a respectable yeoman of Kingsomborne. was returning from Romsey market, he was attacked about a mile and a half from the former place by two footpads armed with bludgeons, who pulled him from his horse, and, after a severe struggle, succmled in rilling his pockets of a pocket book, containing four 5/. notes of the Romsey Hank, 12', in sovereigns and half sovereigns, a canvas bag containing about 4lls. in stiver, and , a stop watch, with the « ni* ker's name " John Bramley," of Andover, engraved Oil it. One of the villains was an eldeily man, ucaving a luund ffockj the other * young man with p. fustian jacket. Mr. Reeves was very much beaten about the head, and in various parts of the body, but fortu- nately he reached home, where surgical assistance was promptly rendered, and he is doing well. Yesterday morning two men, named Rogers and Griffin, were ap- prehended at a public- house in Romsey on suspicion, and committed to the gaol of that town for examination. On Sunday evening last, about seven o'clock, a detached oat rick, containing about 40 quaiters, standing ori Lee Fat in, near Ramsey, in the occupation of Mr. Richard King, jun. was discovered to be on fire, and the whole was consumed. There is not the slightest doubt but the tire was occasioned by an incendiary ;' and the Hants, Sussex, and Dorset Fire Insurance Company, where Mr. King is insured, have offered a reward of 50/. for the ap- prehension and conviction of the party who committed the diabolical act. Southampton. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31. The annual meeting of the Southampton Auxiliary Bible Society was held on Wednesday at the town- hall: an interesting report of the proceedings will be found in the preceding page. The paragraph which appeared in our last, respecting the seizure of some cases of wine in this town, was erroneous, as it would appear therefrom that the agent of the vessel was involved in the transaction ; but we learn, from good authority, that such was not tile case, as the wine was not consigned to the agent, nor is lie in any way concerned in the affair, except as having, in his ofticjal capacity, entered the whole cargo of the vessel at the Custom House.—( Our correspondent, who furnished us with the paragraph alluded to, acknowledges the error which he made as above.) The Isle of Wight steam vessels, the Medina and Malmesbury, will discontinue running for the sea- son after this week. On the 22d inst. was married at Northwood, Isle of Wight, William Knight, Esq. of London, to Harriet, youngest daughter of John Eames, Esq. of West Cowes. Monday last died, Mrs. Susannah Bird, a maiden lady, much respected, aged 80 years. (..> In an adv. of the Sale of Mr. Rogers's Nursery Stock, which appears in the 1st page, the following should have been added :—" Catalogues Is. each ( to be returned to purchasers), may be had of the auctioneer, and at the Hampshire Advertizer Office, Southampton." NEWPORT, Oct. 29 HIGHWAY ROBBERY— On Saturday night last, about ten o'clock, as a woman of the name of Wheeler was returning home from this market, where, as had been her custom for many years, she had been to sell butler and poultry, & c. for the farmers in her neighbourhood, she was stopped near Shorwell, by a young man of the name of James Low, pulled from her horse, and robbed of three sovereigns, and very considerably injured in her person.— Having known Low for many years, and the night being suffi- ciently light for her to idenufy him, she caused him to be apprehended next day, and on Monday he was brought before Sir Richard Bassett, who committed him to our borough gaol for further examination on Saturday next, when there is no doubt he will be fully committed to the county gaol, in order to his being tried at tile assizes.— Low, whose parents have resided in Shorwell for many years with unimpeachable character, is a sailor, and for a considerable time past has sailed in a vessel belonging to Liverpool, from whence he is lately returned. The Miehaelmas general Quarter Sessions for this Borough was held at our Guildhall on Tuesday last, before the Right Hon. Lord Yarborough, Recorder; the Right Worshipful the Rev.

SPECIAL, CONSTABLES ON THE 5th or No- VEMBER.— We are happy to say that we have an over- whelming force of special constables, so that there is no doubt but that the- peace of tile- City will be fully secured on Thursday evening next, the 5th instant- The Ma- gistrates will administer the oath this day to the few remaining pir- ams who may choose to volunteer their , » . ivi'. e.. oil the above- namedoccati » n. The Rev. John B. Maude, M. A. Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford, has been presented to tye Vicarage of Monk Sherborne, in the county of Hants, vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Hall Patrons, the Provost and Fellows of that Society. FONTHILL ESTATE.— In the vicissitudes of this celebrated place, after its magnificent Abbey has become a desolate pile of ruins, and its various splendid attributes have vanished in all directions, that portion of the estate which fell to the lot of Mr. Mortimer wrs on Thursday brought to the hammer at the Auction Mart. This tract consisted of about 1200 acres, including the clothing mill at Tisbury, with its appurtenances. Mr. Robins, of the Piazza, officiated for his brother, Mr. Geo. Robins, who was prevented from attending in conse- quence of indisposition. The property was divided into three lots, the first of which was by far the most im portant, as it included the whole of that part callcd the Park, together with the Pavilion, and the fine varied scenery around it. The number of acres it comprised was about 1000, and the estimated yearly value 1285/. In recommending this lot to the attention of his auditors, Mr. Robins indulged ill the picturesque to a degree that might bid defiance to the most vivid imagination,— de- scribing the Pavilion as one, compared with which, the blissful retreat of Gil Bias must have sunk into insignifi- cance,— for the bowers of Lirias were but Kennington arbours to the - shades of Fonthill. A gentleman named Marsh was the first bidder, starting with an offer of 25,000 guineas. Competition then went on rapidly, until at last the sum amounted to 40,600/., and no further ad- vance being forthcoming, Mr. Marsh was declared the purchaser of the first lot. The clothing mill with the premises adjacent, consisting of 38 acres and 24 cottages, was the next lot put up, ana this also fell to Mr. Marsh, who raised his biddings from 2500/. to 12,000/. Mr. Robins stated, at the same time, that Mr. Mortimer had expended not less than 38,000?. in the erection of the mill. The third lot, called the Lawn Farm, comprised 107 acres of rather inferior land. It was knocked down to a Mr. Coombes for 4900/. Fonthill now exists only in name,— yet it will for ages serve as one of the number- less monuments which record the frail and unstable cha- racter of earthly grandeur.— We understand that a gen- tleman in this neighbourhood, in conjunction with others, would have given 35,000/. for the two principal lots; and on his own account bid 4725/. for the Lawn Farm ; and it is believed these were the highest bona fide biddings. On Tuesday last a meeting was held at the Angel Inn, Chippenham, to take into consideration the propriety of establishing a society for the prosecution of felons aud protection of property, when it was unani- mously resolved that a society should be formed, to be called " the Chippenham Town Prosecution Society." The Westbury Watch has commenced its operations, and the inhabitants feel its importance at this season more than in any former one, as several serious depredations were committed before its commencement. The watch being established upon an improved plan, it will be difficult for thieves or disorderly persons to avoid detection. The inhabitants have come forward with a liberal subscription for the purpose of providing great coats for the watchmen and for defraying other expences. We understand that the Tyrolese Minstrels, the Rainer family, had had it in contemplation to give one of their pleasing concerts at Crewkerne, but were prevented, owing to some prejudice entertained against their performance by the proprietor of the assembly- room there. Warminster autumnal fair was held on Mon- day. About the usual number of sheep were penned, a very considerable part of which were driven home again, the owners preferring the chance of spring prices to those which were offered, which were still lower than at the , late fairs. The show of neat beasts was considerable, j but very few were sold. The pleasure fair was much | larger than for several years; and, with the fineness " of the day, attracted a very numerous attendance. EMPLOYMENT OF THE PAUPER POOR.— At a vestry meeting held at Melksham, it has been resolved to take SO acres of land, if they can be procured, for the purpose of spade husbandry, and the employment of the pauper poor, who are now in a state of idleness. I BIRTH.— At Fulbeck, Grantham, Lincoln- shire, on Monday last, the lady of the Rev. Edward Fane, of a daughter. On Tuesday last was married at Bremhill, by the Rev.
