NEW ORLEANS. rilllE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this -I- SOCIETY, held at tae l'reeni.llo.li' Tavern on the 45th of May, was numerous and most respectasalt. The Report 'hewed how much goof the Society has been incru mental in effecting, with means comparatively small. It hai made grants in 393 cases; and, by the expenditure of £86,140 has been instrumental in providing an increase of accommodation in Churches and Chapels to the mono:A of 113,714 sitting;. Of this number 81,548 are for the use of the poor.Tlie assistance given by the Society has all but exhausted its fit:arcrs; and yet such is the increase.' and increasing population of the country, that Church room to a much greater extent is still required. Applications arc even more nu merous now than they were at any former period ; but unless the Public, whose aid is earnestly entreated, and on whom the Society depends (for it is supported entirely by voluntary contributions), shall supply the means, assistance can be no longer afforded. The Parliamentary Grants are specifically appropriated to the building of additional Churches, and in places where the population exceeds 4,000 persons—they cannot be applied to improve, enlarge, or re build. These are the great objects of this Society, and these objects have been promoted with nu inconsiderable success during the seven years of its existence. It has opened the doors of the Established I Church to thousands who were before excluded from joining in its worship. Will not. then, the friends of that Church come forward and enable the Society to continue its useful exertions? His Majesty has been graciously pleased to make a donation of £l,OOO, and the Committee cannot but indulge the hope that the example of the S.lvereign will be followed by his subjects in every rank of life, for every pound that is subscribed will be the means of furnishing an additional sitting. They can appeal to the good which has bees alroady done in various places, by supplying the spiritual wantl of the population. They may venture to say, that the interests M i ra hgion and morality cannot be more effectually promoted than by the support and encouragement of this Society. Don. se. 3. d.

We congratulate our countryglen on the abundance of rain which fell last night. The thunder-storm which accompan:ed it will, we hope, purfy the atmosphere, and, in some measure, lessen the heat tinier which we have for some time been suffering severely. We would nor for the world see the Negro la beurers, with all their faults, deprived of the innccenr and rational reveation of a dance occasi , nally after the toils of the week ;but the melancholy occurrence which happened in the parish of St. The may, on Saturday night last, points out the necessity of great caution and watch fulness, and chews that there people ought not to be al lowed to prolong their fe.tive enjoyments to a Ire hour of the evening. There are various and contrad:ctory re ports in town ; from these we gather that Mr. Drake, the Coroner fur the parish of St. Thomas—a Gentleman very advanced in years,and, we apprehend, a very mild and humane man—allowed 14.; negroes to join those on the neighbouring estate, Lion Castle, in i Joe and Johnny, as it is called : that he heard there was a great riot amongst them, mounted his horse, and rode to the spot, with the intention of endeavouring to quell the disturbance; and that on his using the whip to dis perse the rioters, they pelted him with stones, by which he was struck several times, and that soon after his re turn to his house he died. Mr. Reeve', the Coroner of the next pat ish, St. James, called an inquest on the body, which adjourned to sit again this day. The verdict is " That the riotous conduct of the two gangs of negroes mast have occasioned violent irritation of mind to the said William Drake, deceased. and that, in conjunction with a blow received from a stone , thrown by Little Plymouth, a man, the property of John Carew, I Seq. occasioned his death." To make up for the barrenness of news in the Eng lish papers, we may add, since the arrival of the packet, various reports in circulation, which, if true, will not 'only lead to some important changes in our judicial system, but materially affect our general politics. Of the several en dies of the day, the one most interesting, and wearing the strongest appearance of probability, is, that a Chief Judge for this Colony, and a C rcuit Judge to administer justice in the other Islands. will soon arrive.' Rumour gives the name of the Chief Judge—Nir. Hol royd, son of Justice Holroyd, one of the Judges of the Midland Circuit in England. That an appoit,tment o f this nature will take place we can hardly dr übt, and we apprehend there can be little difference of opinion amongst us on the subject ; it is so obviously necessary and important that so striking an anomaly as the admi nistration of the functions of a Judge by Gentlemen, however bighly-gifted, however pure, however just (and amongst eurJudges we can boast of such characters) yet unlearned is the law, should be removed.
