The Right • Honourable. the PRIIINDINT• assisted by tie Rev. W. Draurnr, read a selection ot pas sages front the Reprt of the past year, containing theneost interesting facts which had occurred in the verse of those proceedings, now become ton cbusi derable:and voluminous to be recited in detail. The following Statement represents the Receipts. and Expenditure, together with the number of Bibles and Testaments issued within the year s The -Issue of Cinpies of the Scriptures, from March IR, ISIS, to March 91, 1816,. was 198,168 !Mks, and 1,0,068 Testaments, -making the total limed, item she ONIVIIDATICRTIODt of tbr Instittitionv to the lest metaioned period. 654,427 and 888546 .

The Expend Lure of the Year 103,6110 18 8 Obligations of the Society, including Orders given for ,Bibles and Tes taments, about 36,000 0 0 • The Cataiscataase of the EXCHECOIIOI moved, that the Report -be adopted and printed. and spoke as folio ws i " MY Long—l am sure it would be wholly unne cessary for me to use'any argument in support of the motion - I am -,bout to propose, for receiving and printing the Report we have just heard but it may not be altogether superfluous to express, in a few words, the pleasure and admiration with which, in common, I am convinced, with every other Gentle , maropresent, I have listened to the facts it contains. It appests to me, indeed, (if I may be allowed to judge the feelings of ethers by my own), that the pleasure of attending a Meeting of this kind, though not Tess deliizhiful than it has ever been, has some what changed its characte,r, and is of a more calm and iraequil kind than it was some .years ago. In the rally Meetings of the Society, though me had mace to excite feelings of gratitude as well as hope, it was impossible totally to subdue the apprehension, that the rising Society might 'be crushed by opposi tion, stifled by inveterate. though groundless preju. dice, or alike for want of support, amidst the apathy aid iadifference to all religious feeling. which *Opened so generally to pervade the notion. We could not suppress a recurring doubt, whether, after the 3apse of so many ages and generations. (during Which the progress of the Gospel had been checked, and while its outward acknowledgment remained, at the best. only stationary. its inward and real efficacy had suffered deep and fatal inroads, at one time from superstition, and more recently from the wide spreads • tog influx of irreligion and infidelity), it could be rt. served for our own time; to witness that establish. went of divine truth. which. though we had the authority of revelation to rely upon, as ultimately eel*, was invisible in its approach, and hidden from us as to the time and circumstances of its ac- Complishment. But ler some time past, and above.' • tflll at the present moment, these apprehensions and adenffits seem dispelled by a joyful certainty, and to leave so room for any other emotions dean those of Admiration, gratitude, and universal love. -We see - the Goebel rapidly extending itself into every region if the world, and we feel ourselves, in however humble a-degree, and with whatever unworthiness, the instruments of so glorious a work. We not only discern the dawn, but see the rapid diffusion, and almost the bright effulgence,. of the light of Heaven. If, then, as I trust, we have the happiness to wit. mess one of the great eras of the establishment of Christianity, we have abundant reason for additional ratitude, in one circumstance, in which it has dif fered from those which have preceded it. In the for. liner great periods, of the first promulgation of the Gospel, and thi restoration -of pure religion at the Reformation, the progress of truth was opposed by every effort of human policy and power. Amidst savage wars, and unrelenting' persecutions, religion obtained her painful triumph. But we now behold tier progress unopposed, (except by the harmless weapons of mistaken controversy), sum' whemvar public authority has interfered, it has been, .not awl check, but to encourage and support it. tip rise if the Earth have indeed deed ith and its Rxkn law - loins cotixsel so:ether, but it has not been again! tha Lard, and .gainer his dinewed—it has not been to ex. tioguish the light of the Gospel in the blood of its professors—but to acknowledge its authority, and 'extend its influence. 0 You will perceive, my Lord, that I am patti.. culatly alluding to .a very remarkable transaction which has distinguished the past year ; and whit; differed so widely from diplomatic forms, and from the ptiecirles of. ordinary policy, that it is not sm.. prishig that at first it should have excited some de. gree of jealousy and suspicion—l' mean the Secret Treaty, concluded and signed at Paris, by the Empe sors of Austria and Russia, and the King of Prussia. The confused and imperfect notions of. this proceed . log, which iit first crept out, naturally occasioned curiosity, and even alarm, rather than confidence ; but to those who had the opportupity being ate *shoed with the real and genuine history of this ar rangement, and of knowing the siaerity and inte grity of the principles from which it siriginated, it afforded the gratitying• and hitherto unprecedented •spectacle, of a union of Christian Sovereigns, dif. Arias in their respective modes of religious persua sion( but agreeing in a public recognition of the di. spirit. Emperor of Russht.to St. Petersburgb;thet. - ilt-ger ceived the fullest elucidation. When wit kern the Report we hive heard, ; the seawall which r rt great Sovereign entered late the coriitrits . ,the Bible Society, it becomes impossible longer tate as to the real sentiments and intention/ tit Ws :heart, in the transaction we have been considerlapo In giving the Bible to every nation of his Vast tkon* nions in its own language, he flied the real 1.44414411 t appropriate ratification to the Christian Treaty: " Nor ought we, though the Emperor Of has assumed that pre-eminence in this great Work, to which the extent of his dominions, *aird'the great ea 'tent of his power entitle him, to forget the services of other Sovereigns and Princes of Europe, recorded 'in the Report. Even here we cannot stop. It is not tlo Christian Princes only that we owe acknowledg ments for a reverend reception of the Gospel, and *filling aid in its diffusinn. The Persian and the Tartar, the Mahomedan and the Heathen—as well es the Jew, appear to lend a ready assistance in the distribution of that 'divine book. whose *twines , :may hope its heavenly Author is opening their.hea4e ,to receive. . •, " Such, indeed, has been the extent of the So eiety's operations abroad, and such an impulse dents to have been given to the minds of men, by the PROVIIMINCE which, I trust, inspired and has blest its endeavours, that, could we now be prevailed on to stop short, 'to abandon the great work so far advan ced, and to relapse into indolence and apathy, I be lieve that, though in Many countries it might lan. guish, and in some degree•be checked in all, instru ments are prepared sufficient to carry it to a happy accomplishment. But I am far indeed from awe bending a change which I should think so whin choly anti so disgraceful to my country.' Every thing recorded in the Report concurs with the appear ance of this Meeting, in testifying that the ardour of Britain, in this glorious cause, is not abated, that she will continue to be the mainspring of this great, re ligious, and moral renovation of mankind, and evince the sense she feels of the blessings she enjoys, by the, most earnest endeavours to extend them to all the human race. '• I ought to apologize for haying been the first to address your-Lordship, but I hope I shall be excused, in consideration of the shortness of the time which it is possible to me to divert from official business, even on so interesting an occasion." This Resolution was thus seconded by the Bishop of GLOUCLITS2 : " I thank my Right Honourable Friend that he has made this motion in so ample a manner, as to make it necessary for me to say only a very few words. I rejoiceto find, that though the pressure on the country has been great, during the last year, yet charity dues not fail. Opposition has been revived. but it has been ably and decisively defeated. Indeed i facts begin now to speak. We find mug examplei of the practical results of disseminating the pure word of GOD. At thr first origin of the S eelet y ,/a: the plan w.ts new, men naturagy reasoned on the probable tendencies of it. Different men argued in different ways. One set of persons argued on the probability of its lessening the circulation of the Book of Common Prayer, and endangering the safety of the Church. On the contrary, such friends of the Society as were also Members of our Ecclesi astical Establishment, conceived that its tendency would be to increase the general regard for the For mularies and Authorities of the National Church, while it promoted true piety and virtue among our people. And now have facts confirmed, or over thrown, these opposite reasonings, The circulation 'of the Prayer Book has not. been lessened : it has, on the contrary, greatly increased, during the whole period since the formation of this Society—a suffi cient evidence that the Established Church- is more firmly seated in the affections of the community. The forebodings of those who argued on this side of the question,ore now absolutely forgotten.- In the mean' time, the ether tendency which the friends of our So ciety thought to be the most probable, begins toappear. The effects of the Bible are becoming dailyanore and more visible. And what are these effects ? Let the Report of the Southwark and the Westminster Auxi liary Societies—let the testimony of our excellent Foreign Secretary, declare. The drunkard becomes sober, the profligate chaste, the swearer fears an oath. May the Got of the Bible grant that this tendency may increase year by year ! May the time come, when. the word of GOD shall be in every heart an in corruptible seed, which shill bloom and blossom here, and bring forth fruit to everlasting life 1" 1 • C. BARCLAY, Esq. M.P. ,for Southwark, moved . Thanks to the President, irt very appropriate terms. This Motion was thus seconded by me Bishop a sAusovair : . . • ••• ' , -..7 # " Tht very eminent and long tried . , . .

Gentlemen—ln rising to make my acknowledg ments for the honour which you have coalerred on me, by your resolution of tbanks-forinpaervices. I id cannot but express my gretitn fir the mercies of a kind•Paonnesca, in persnitti _ tile once mote to st; otad• the Anniversary of, our tution,asd to re: juice with the Members of is en the occunselated proofs which have this day been laid .befere them, di the good which It bat done, mak doing, in the world.: The British and Foreign Bibb SoCiir has now is-' fisted twelve years, and everrenciceeding year his ins, posed new claims on our gratitude and the. • to ALMICIUTY Goo for the favour with, prosp , red the work of our hands. •• ,- r vAri , 66 When I look back es the circommaitees whkh 1 led to the formation . , of our Socierj• and to the pe riod in which it took place. —.-wtien I cousider the HIV pulse which it has imparted to thiChristian *arid, , and the counteraction which it has excited to the enfold% fen I ..: remotest moon 'of the earth, btft of coinmu• slimeing the records which contain the glad tidings of taimmosn to nations Inhere his name was unado -04 and uuknown. Xs To discover a spot on which Christians • of all A - bOominations might meet in friendly communion, rise a labour of love in which all might cordi and conscientiously cooperate, seemed an at. Copt exceeding the combined powers of human in.,' gfisstity and benevOlence. - This, however, has been aomplished by the instrumentality of the British and Foreign Bible Society, which has itself become the untre of that beautiful union of the divided' Members of the Christian Community, new, for the first time, exhibited to the world. We see, as it were, the very soul of Charity, embodied in the form and substance of our Institution, diftuing a vital warmth, subduing prejudice, expanding the affec-, dons, and animating the Members of it with love te GOD and man. • GCD grant, (says the pious and erable Head of the Zurich Clergy, and I wish to 'attesting spirit r 4 his prayett•-•Gon grant thiat tit% apenion among so many lovers of Christian'tfoth,, may daily take deeper root; inluder that it may ad minister largely to the. growth of that holy .and vent sable Church, which our gracious SAVIOUR has re served to be built up for himself in these last days, thereby fulfilling his own declaration— , There shill ‘ite be one fold and one Shepherd.' What a magni fi cent and sublime spectacle is even now presented to us in the contemplation 6f the numerous Bible Societies spread over the face of . the earth, animated by one spirit, and operating by the same means, to the same benevolent cad I What an opening for the most .glorious hope ! What an excitement to active and emulous exertion, are afforded by the contemplation 1 But our hope and gratification would be more en larged, if we could bring before us, in a visible form, the effects produced by the charitable labours of these Associations—if we could collect into one view the numerous. instances in which the Scriptures distribu ted 'by them have proved the source of consolation, hope, and jdy, to the poor, the desolate, and the af flicted ; of reclaiming the vicious, of edifying the well disposed, and of kindling the flames of charity, piety, and devotion in the human breast : of this we are assured, that the comfort of individuals in this life, as arising out of the hope of a glorious immor tality, the peace, order, and happiness of society, will ever be in proportion to the influence of that Holy Book which we circulate and recommend, on the heart and lives of mankind. It is sufficient for us to know that' we have laboured to promote these blessed results, and we may, with humble confidence. leave to Mu, whose grace descends as the dew, the growth and increase of the seed of the word which we have so abundantly sown. In this confidence, I trust that the British and Foreign Bible Society, which.. will ever be deemed the glory of this Kingdom, will also prove a rnaip Pillar of its lasting prosperity. 4' With these sentiments, I need not assure the' Meeting that I am equally sensible of the honour which I derive from my station in the Society, and of the responsibility attached_ to it. It has ever been my anxious wish, in reliance on His aid, *hose pro ' vidence often deigns to accomplish the greatest.pur poses by weak instruments, to discharge the duttesof that station, in a mode proportionate to my sense of their importance, and to merit your approbation.— For the unanimous expression of it. I beg leave to offer my cordial thanks." • The Hon. CuanLes SHORE, eldest son of the Pre. sident, moved the Thanks to the Vice-Presidents. The Bishop of CLOGHER moved Thanks to their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York, Kent, Cum berland, Sussex, and Cambridge, and to his High: ness the Duke of Gloucester, for the patronage given to the object of the Institution. For himself and his Royal . Brothers, his Royal Highness the Duke of KENT, in a dignified and im pressive manner, declared attachment to the cause, and determination to persevere in supporting it. Admiral Lord GAMBIER, with a short but expres sive introduction, moved Thanks to the Committee. The Rev. Dr. THORPE (Secretary to the Hibernian Bible Society), moved a Resolution of Thanks to the Treasurer. The Bishop of CLonra moved Thanks to the Se creteties. The Bishop of Nonni= introduced the Resolution 'olThanks, which be moved to the Presbyteries in Scotland, in the following manner :—.* The interest ing Report read this day by our noble and excellent *indent proves must clearly, not only the extent hut ire beneficial effects of this Institution. I should Attie your patience if I were to dwell on this subject, nor is it neeessaryi for very few would presometa r e l ee ti f i e restitin the truth of the assertion. I would • e only Observe, that there is not a people on Barth who have supported with snore assiduity and 'Unbounded liberality this Society than the kingdom of Scotland; a people not so remarkable for their wealth as their industry, their genuine evangelical fiety, their highindependent spirit, and their love of Ilieli . gious and civil-liberty ; a kingdom the moral con- Idiom of which proves, beyond all controversy, that F it general education - of the children of the poor, and she distribution of the Sacred Scriptures, are the surest means, Wider PikerDeNee, of promoting not -only the happiness of the poor themselves, sbut the welfare df every Government to which they belong, ty encouraging those habits of industry, morality, and religion, which the Bible inculcates, in a way . which most effectually ultimo: the understanding and ineuenees the heart.
