PUBLICATION OF THE SCRIPTURES. • A numerous Meeting of the Publishers, Booksel lers, Stationers, and all others interested in the sale of the Hdly Scriptures, was held yesterday evening at the Globe Tavern, Peet-street, to take into con siderntion the recent attack made on the trade, with respect to the sale of Bibles and Prayer-books. Mr. LEIGIT, Bookseller, was called to the Chair.—As t'ele nature of Lige attack may not be known to the, generality of our Readers, we shall endeavour to ex plain it by giving, in a fey: words, a short abstract of a Report mule by a Committee, appointed on Thurs ' day evening to investigate into its extent. It appeared from that Report, that for two or three years past bills in Chancery had been filed, and silently ope rating under the instruction of a patentee, against persons selling Edinburgh Bibles or Common Prayer- Books. These bills have been compounded privately, to the no small gain of the Attorney employed, and vexation of the party attacked. During the last term a hundred injunctions were. obtained against different Booksellers in London and the suburbs ; and ninety are entered for the present Term. The Clerk of the solicitors, Messrs. Foss and Co. is generally the in former. • At first the injunctions were only levelled against Bibles printed at Edinburgh, but lately they have been extended against Bibles, Testaments, and Common Prayer-Becks, printed in England, with Commentaries and Notes. This proceeding has spread terror and dismay through the writ:re 'Booksellers both in town and country; especially as they have. been likewise infoenied, that " they cannot, under the " existingdaw, sell any Bible in the English tongue, " or in any other tongue whatsoever, of any transla tion, with Note or without Note," which is not printed at the Press of the King's printer, or at the Press of the two Universities. The sufferers by these prosecutions have been chiefly among the petty retail dealers, who, it was §npposea, would willingly enter into any terms of compromise offered by the Attor ney conducting these processes, rather than incur all the risk and expence of a Chancery suit. The whole tale dealers have in general escaped free from at tack, though latterly some of them (Mr. Wood, in j the Strand ; Mr. Wilson, at the Exchange ; and Messrs. Arch, of Cornhill) have been visited by the same annoyanee as their less wealthy brethren. As this system was rapidly spreading in every direction, the trade took it up, and assembled yesterday even ing to discuss the propriety of resisting it with all the energy which such an invasion of what they deemed their long-established right demanded. The impropriety, if not the illegality, of these vexatious measures on the part of the Patentees, was strongly in sisted on ;and the judgment of Lord CLARE in the case of Grierson, the King's printer at Dublin, v. Jackson, (Ridgeway's Reports, 301), was stated to be decisive of *the Matter. In the course of that case, which origi nated upoe an application for an injunction to pre vent the defendant from printing an edition of the Bible in numbers, with prints and notes, Lord CLAIM asked if the validity of such n patent as the King's printer enjoyed, had ever been established at law : a id said, that he did not know that the Crown had a right to grant a' monopoly of that kind. He further aided, " I can conceive the King, as head of the Church, may say, that there shall be but one man who shall print Bibles and Books of Common Prayer for the use of Churches, and for particular purposes ; but I cannot conceive that the King has any prey°. Ls-36re to grant a monopoly as to Bibles for the in traction of mankind in revealed religion. If ever there was a time which called :loud for the dissemi nation of religious knowledge, it is this—and there five I should with great reluctance decide in favour of such a Monopoly as this which most necessarily confine the circulation of the book. As to very par ticular purposes, I have no doubt that the patentee hi; an exclusive right to print Bibles and Prayer books---bet unless I am bound very strictly, I will • not determine upon motion that no man but the King's printer has a right to print such works as these." It was mainteined that such testimony as this was enti tied to high consideraeon, as it proceeded from .a NAlern an who was much attached to the prerogative of the Crown. Great stress was also placed upon a document which had been eetorted by the Patentees . or their Attorney, from a poor individual, by which he bound himself, under a penalty of £2OOO, never te sell a copy of the Bible, Testament, or Common Prayer, which did not come frc-m the King's Printing Office, or that of the two Universities,-and by which. ha also bound himself never to take any steps to dis solve the injunction obtained against him. The Report being read, it was moved and seconded that it should be adopted, on which Mr. Saciertswone, of the King's Printing-Office, said, he conceived that the Report was, in some respects exaggerated. Ile did not mean any disre spect to the Committee in saying so, but he cer teinlycould not but state, that there was no design as was alleged, to suppress the circulation of the Scrip tures, or deprive the public of the benefit of those Commentaries which were made on them. Such never had been, and such, he was confident, would never be the design or intention of either of the two Universities, or his Majesty's printers ; for, on the! contrary, they were actuated by more liberal and en lihtened motives. He was convinced the course the Lniversities and King's printer had adopted was dic tated by humanity —(a taugli.l He was sorry to see there was not that calm, dispassionate attention to dui cpcstion which its importance deserved ; but he had stated facts. Mr. Hoyt felt the meeting were obliged : to the last speaker, 'for explaining i hat had occurred On at Inmer'ocCasieni, when he (Ir. 1-Tonc) was nOt present ters; 1.1:e meeting . now could .avail itself i of .the oppiiitti.: tity to . inquire how the prosecutions Origihatted;:a. perhaps the- might have &pie so :Om more quarters! thin one. Ile had'net consulted with the Cpnbnliti l ei v but the claim of the Universities and Kiig'sPrio . stood on different grounds, and . were nut the Sable it all in the eye of the law: - He therefore would ask, whether the prosecutions hid commenced with 0- _ }Zing's prime - is? Mr. lirorriswoDs declined answering the question, and could wily rats to the proceedings m the Cotat . of quintal. M r:Hos z repeated his question as a matter of course. The CH A tam A rt—Are you authorizedto answer such. a question by those with whom yolk are in company?' • Nlr. :WatoratAN (agent 'to the tYpiversty of Catfi hiiJgc, for the sale of IliEdes) spoke to order. Thai pemitpdy proved .1411 ob j *.ect of the I .lTeeting Wad certainly, to pet rid of the' prosecutions; and, on tte part . of the Lniversity of Cambridge he could say, the prose endow had been carried to a length which they never anticipated. Let them be unanimous, and the cause would he trium phant—for, to waste their time on questions of this kind would.be useless.in the entente. A GENTLEMAN said he could easily answer the question . put to• Mr. Spottiswode, as he had seen a letter sent to Mr. Bigg, of Parliament-street, from Messrs,Toss and Son, stating that by order of Mr. Strahan they expected him to call on them next morning, Stith an account of the profits of what Bibles, &c. he had sold. Another GENTLEMAN, who is a Pawnbroker, said he knew above G'.; injunctions had been served on Pawnbrokers, and he trusted they would of course be included among Booksellers, &c. Mr. BALDWIN—of course that is done. Mr. Mawm lair stated he had requested the Syndi cate of the University of Cambridge to meet on the subject, and he could assure the Meeting that the proceedings at law would be finally dropt against those who were not violently determined to persist in breaking the law. The motion for agreeing to the Rep9rt was then put, and unanimously adopted. Mr. OFFOR stated the second Resolution, which was, that these disgraceful proceedings were tot known to, nor sanctioned by the two Universities. This being seconded, Mr. HONE rose. The Reso lutions, he considered, were not meant to take the Meeting by surprize. He dissented totally from the one now read, for he was persuaded the proceedings were known to both Universities. It seemed to him most extraordinary that the Universities and the King's Printer should have instituted proceedings against poor men, solely because they were poor. The claims of the Universities were totally destructive of the circulation of the Scriptures. The publication .of the Bible by Numbers had induced many to read it, who perhaps would never have had such an opportu= nity to know its sacred contents. Mr. MAWDIAN explained, and stated that the pri vilege of the King's Printer was confined to England, as Scotland and Ireland had King's Printers of the same description ; but the two Universities could is sue Bibles and Prayer Books in every part of the United Kingdom. He believed the prosecutions would not be cmtinued. Mr. JOIIN Wires contended the Resolution ought not to pass, as the evil was one of a peculiar magni tude. The evil affected not merely the wholesale dealer, but the poor, and the widow, who became the victims of spies and informers, hired for the pur pose by the Universities, for the very end of entrap ping them. It was their duty not to prostrate them selves before the two Universities, for these bodies had sanctioned the proceedings, his Majesty's Solici tor General being employed in the Court .of Chan cery to obtain the injunctions in their name, as well as that of the King's printer. He would recommend an application to Parliament, and if the system were to be continued, it would be infinitely better at once to have the penalty prescribed, than to have the pockets of Messrs. Foss and Son filled at the expense of the poor, the widow, and the orphan. He trusted the motion would be withdratvn, and a Committee appointed with powers to act and report. He had seen several pawnbrokers, and from them he under stood that a Committee of that body had been ap pointed, who would with pleasure correspond widi any Committee of the London Booksellers,(Hear.) The motion was then wldxlrawn. Mr.Wttle then moved that * Committee of twelve be appointed, with leave' eri 'tt4d . 'to their nyinfieti, and full powers to adopt all necessary mess tres to terminate the proceedings. Mr. TAYLOR, in seconding the motion, said the patent right had begun in the reign Of Henry Vlrt. when almost every thing was ialtject to patents.- - This was abolished - in the reigti bf James L. tti they became so totally O t ipressive as to leave no longer any doubt of their tyrannical tendency. Should the pl-esent system succeed, then England would life soup !placed in the same dismal state as Spain in respect of ignorance. Mr. HONE agreed cordially with the motion of Mr. .Wilks, and suggested that it might perhaps have been . proper to add, that a public meeting should be here after called to receive the Report of the Conimittee. He merely threw out this observation, but did not in tend to make it the subject of any motion. Mr. ALLEN, (a Sojicttor,) considered the Meeting solelycOnvened 'for business, not for long speeches. He attended on behalf of Mr. Blanchard, of the City road, who had been' served with au injunction, by which he was prohibited from selling a Bildt with a few notes and marginal comments. He approved of the appointment of a Committee, and was conF.dent such enlightened bodies as the two Universities woald never consent to persecute the poor and the widow. He recommended an application, therefore, to be made to them,' and he was fhlly persuaded they I would never consent to . harass persons in such distress, as many of the pieserit sufferers were. Mr. BAITER conceived the patents bad been much mistinderstoct; fcir, on the contrary, nothing could be More clear or decisive thin they were. The ion tents were not granted'till Edward 'VI: * Henry VIM merely' give the ' permission to print, but gave no exclusive right to anyone.

His Lordship sat in piivate chamber, and proceeded with the Mo- , aft4r which, the Lunatic Petitions which were in the P;ver of Causes set down for hearing this day Were severally disposed of. His Lordship then heard some tankrupt Petitions. ' The ca'e of De Moro v. De La Torre was ordered to stand till Tuesday. His Lordship intimated in the course of the morn ing, th:.t as be would not have to attend the House of Lords on Appeal Causes till Wednesday, on Mon day and Tuesday he should preside in the Court of Chancery at NVestminster ; he would therefore, if able, give judgment on Monday in several causes which at present stand over for that purpose. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY 2!. FLETCHiIt V. INGLIS. This was an action on a policy of insurance on a vessel called the Contest, of which the plaintiff was, owner. In 1813, the vessel was taken up by Go.' vernment for the transport service, and on the 17th l of October in that year, the defendant, on the appli cation of the plaintiff, underwrit the present policy, containing the usual risks, for a year, which period would of course terminate on the 16th of October, 1814. The Contest continued in the employment of Government; and in July, 1614, being at that time lying in Bologna harbour, she, in the nitrlit between the 4th and sth of that month. groundel false, as it is termed—that is, on uneven ground ; and by this accident some of her knees were broken. This, how-' ever, did not operate so as to prevent her continuLig to fulfil her contract with Government. She made everal voyages afterwards between England and France ; but in 1815 she was taken into dock for re pair ; and on her being surveyed, it was found that part of her false keel was gone, her flooring da maged, and several of her knees broken. She under went a thorough repair, and in August, 1,•::16, and not before, the plaintiff gave notice of the damage' he sustained in Bologna harbour, and the amount of repairs; which, however, the defendant refused to pay, on the ground—first, that, in consequence of the plaintiff's delay, he had lost his claim, as lie ought to have given immediate notice to the defen dant on the vessel receiving the injury in Bologna harbour; and, secondly, that this could not be con sidered as a damage arising from the peril of the seas, inasmuch as tt occurred whilst the vessel was ,lying in harbour. Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT, however, held, that' this was an injury arising from the peril of the' sea. The only question which the Jury had to con• sides was, whether the plaintiff ought not to have given immediate notice of the injury she sustained on the sth of July, 1814, and of the repair she was undergoing afterwards, that the underwriter might have superintended those repairs, if he thought pro per?—The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for ' the damages laid in the declaration. ADMIRALTY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS. THE SHIP HERCULES. This was an appeal from sentence of condemns. don passed upon this vessel by the Vice Admiralty Court of Antigua, which was in these words—" For a breach of one or other of the Navigation Laws."— The Hercules armed vessel, it appeared, was fitted out from this country, under the command of Brown, the owner, a British subject, who, it appeared, hail accepted a 'commission under the Spanish South- American Ihdepencletits •to act as a privateer. He had also chartered her to carry merchandize, the propetty of individuals among the Spanish Patriot., .who vout part-owners with himself of the cargo on board, and which consisted chiefly of goods which had arisen from prizes of war. - The circumstances under which• the seizure was Made by his Majesty's ship Brazen, Captain Stirling; mere shortly these:l--The- Hercules, after a long voyage, being in want of refreshments, and also ii- Turing repairs, Captain Brown stood ofr the port of Barbadoes, where he wrote to Sir James Leigh - , the, ! Oowericcii, to permit him to come in fOr the aboe iporposts. The application to come in was refused; but he was 'alb:wed to water and provision, after which he proceeded on in his course of destination. Ile fall in soon after with the iltiFen, when he was boarded by her, and his papers examined by Captain Stirling. The lattei not venturing to Make a formal. seizure, then proposed m refer the matter to his Ad ntiral ; and for that purpose requested Brown, the owner, to consent to accompany him into Ilarbadoes. This Brown consented to do, and they accordingly proceeded thither. On a further inspection of the papers, (a suspicion of t h e Hereitles having been en gaged in piracy, and the plunder of British vessels, the original cause of suspicion on the part of Cap, taro Stirling was so far removed,) it was a ll ege d s W . was permitted to proceed where she pleased; and ac cordingly was in the act of again pursuing her desti nation, when in her course she was again approachod,, and taken formal posiession of by Captain Stirling,' who thereupon broke open her hatches, seized her papers, and removed the Captain and crew, proceed ing with her to Antigua, where, notwithstanding the formal protest of Brown, the owner, she was con demned—not upon the original ground of detention, namely, on suspicion of piracy, but for a breach of one or other of the navigation Laws. After hearir.g the argwveats of Counsel for the se veral parties claiming, viz.
