The half-yearly General Meeting of this Srciety, was held yesterday in the chapel of the male establish ment at Roston, but very thinly attended. E. T. Fon- Tea, Est. Tteasurer, having been placed in the Chair, sead the Report of the Institution for the last six months, which stated that in that period 69 fem Iles had been admitted, and in the whole year 139 ; and of males 49, and in the whole year 89. Total, since the establish ment .•t the Institution 723. THoltas MIIIIIILIOTT, E.sq. complained of the great expenses which had bten incurred, and stated that the number of Sub scribers bad fallen off one fourth. W. LONG, Rsq contended that the stock of the Company was ,E9OO over that of last year. He admitted, however, the neces sity of reducing the expenditure. The Report was then agreed to, aid several unimportant reso• lutlpn. having been passed, the Meeting broke up. PARISH MEETING. Yesterday evening a Meeting of the Parishioners of Bethnal Green took place at the Workhouse, for the ptirpo e of considering the propriety of opening a Ge neral Subscription, to meet the extraordinary demands lately ma.ie upon them, it being admitted that no as se,smist could be sufficient to meet the demands. Mr., Wont), Senior C►.urchw.rdea, in the Chair. Mr. Homawoon said he had accompanied the Depu tation of the Weavers to the Board of Trade the day befvre ' where they had an in•erview wi th the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but no satisfactory answer could be obtained. He then entered into a frightful view of the distresses of tie parish, and concluded by suggesting the propriety of inviting the adjoining pariskes to aid them, in prop 'sing that an application should be made to the Lord Msyor, to assi.t them in the undertaking; Mr. 13ftuTron, ihe Vestry Clerk, delivered his senti ments at considerable length, as did also several others, when it was agreed that an adjournment should take place, for the purpose of inviting the surrounding pa rishes to join them in going befgce the Lord Mayor. and to request of him to C4ll a General Meeting at the Man si• n-house.—Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting separated. Auston CnAPIII..---It will be fresh in the recollection of most of our readers, that some time since the conduct of the Rev. ALEXANDER FLETCHER excited much public attention • and that after proceedings in Chancery, he abandoned his right to Albion Chapel, and gave pos session to the Synod of Scotland. Since the above pe riod, the pulpit has been supplied by various Ministers from Scotland, among whom was the Rev. JAM EsGRAY. His labours wore approved ; and finally the members and congregation gave him an unanimous call to be their pastor. The ordination took place on Tuesday, at Albion Chapel, according to the Scottish Presbyterian form, and attracted a very considerable number of per sons, consisting of members, seat-holders, and a great many Ministers of the different denominations of Dissen ters; among the latter sere the Rev. Dr. Monalson, from China ; Rev. Dr. Cox, Rev. Mr. Youctlkx, Rrv. Mt. jiicestts, Rev. Mr. CAMPIaLL, &c. &c. also the Rev. Di. WAuoti, Itev. Dr..l Ace., Rev. Air. littoAD- YooF. and the Rev. Mr. Wounicow. The Rev. DAVID STtWA nr, of Dub in, began the set vice with.ps ayer, and the Rev. Dr. JACK prs•uchtd the nomination service ; alter %%Nob the Rev. Mr. BRO4DVOOT ordiiined the young Minister (Rev. - Jateas GRAY) and the Rev. Dr. Wssuon.concluded the service with a charge to the Mi nister, and address to • the congregation. The chapel wos well filled. About 130 of the friends of the Minis ter afterwards dined at the London Tavern. In the early part of this month, twelve or fourteen Inen, whose faces were disguised, went at a late hour to a farm-house near Douvaines, 14 miles from Geneva, and knocking it the door, they begged to be admitted, stating that they were travellers, and had mistaken their road. I'hs farmer awoke his servants, and, suspectin g that these people were robbers, he told them to depart, as their intentions would be frustrated; he informed them that he possessed no money, and was determined to resist any forcible entrance that might be attempted. he banditti walked ;nun t the farm, eipecring to find sonic weak part which they might attack with safety. Two of these miscreants climbed over a strong fence that protected the court=yard. The farmer perceiving them, fired his gun, 'and brought one of them to the ground. The wounded map vvas,carried as ay by his comrades, who. after, deliberating a few minutes' de parted. They afterwards went is another farm, halt a mile distant, and here they were successful in their attack: .having obtained admittance into the hobse, they car rigid of every article of valet., and meeting with some resistance, they murdered the' farmer and one of his servants. The -blows which deprived those unfor tunate persons of their lives were infllctcd . with,a sharp estelPably a bcgtl c.

Smith coming out of the house knocked him down, and strut* him repeatedly over the head with sonic blunt instrument. Maser was then conveyed to his home in a very dangerous condition, and the parish of St. John's, Hackney, having afterwards taken up the cause of the wounded man. a warrant was bbtalned against hlrs Smith, who was apprehended and brought before Mr. Tweet:an on Monday, by Attficld, the officer, and committed to Celdbatb= fields prison, on the affidavits of Sir William Blisard and Mr. Hunt, the attending surgeon, that their patient was not out of danger. Yesterday, previous to the examination, a consultation was &id by the surgeons, and Sir Wm. Blizard and Mr. Hunt were agaiti in attendance before the Magistrates, to report the.coutlitiob of their patient. Mr. Purley, the Vestry Clerk of Sc. John's, Hackney, attenir4 for the prosecution; Mr. Bannosma and Mr. Iftmemasrs ap: peared to defend Mr. Smith.; Sir William Blisard being sworn, said that he could not post' tively state that the man was out of danger. He did not, how" ever, think there was any immediate danger, and in that opinioif 31t. Hunt, the attending surgeon, coincided. Mr. Ilitooasex said, that as there was no immediate ilanze'rt and the only apprehension was from the patient's liability to take cold, or suffer from improper treatment, he hoped the Alajstrat, would admit his client to bail ?

SAVIOUR'S CHURCH. Yesterday a numerous meeting of the Inhabitants of St. Saviour's Parish was held in Vestry-meeting, convened on some business respecting fees; but there was an un usually respectable assemblage, for the purpose, as we understooJ, of rescinding a re.olution, passed at the last Vestry, in favour of the demolition of the nave and other portions of the ancient edifice. On the minutes of the proceedings of the former Vestry btjng read for confirmation, _ _ Mr. T. SAUNDERS ruse and moved for thwe parts which respected the pullin g down and rebuilding the ancient structures should be rescinded. He stated that since the. lust Vestry Mieting was held, he vras happy to find ihat a consideruble change had taken place on this subject, which-was so important for the credit of the pari-h, and so interesting to all persons of taste and the public at large. Not only had the public dis cussion which had arisen created a considerable change of feeling in favour of the ancient edifice, but the sight of the Choir in its state of beau:iful reitoration, as it was first thrown open to public inspection on Sunday last, had wrought conviction in the minds of many who might not have been expected to appreciate its merits. On Sunday, a number of the Council of the Anti• quarian Siciety, and other indsviduals of high raids and acquirements, had visited the Church, for the purpose of inspecting it, and they all concurred in expressing their admiration at the manner'in which one portion of it hid been restored, and of concern at the danger with which the remainder was menaced. The edifice was unanimously agreed to be the finest specimen, in the metropolis, or the whole kingdom, of the English pointed style of architecture of the 11th and 12th centuries. Mr. Soma seconded the motion. Mr. HARRIS wished to know from Mr. Gwilt, the architect, what would be the probable expense of re storing the nave, and what'number of persons the new seats would accommodate? Mr. GWILT replied, that the expense of restoration would probably be one-third less than the expense of rebuilding—(Hear, hear). The number which the re stored Church would accommodate was 1000, or about double the number. who now attend Divine Service. Mr. &us warmly opposed the restoration ; he yid, that by rebuilding they might obtain a gallery, and ac commodation for 2,000 persons; they might also have a vault, and more warmth and comfort than in this great edifice, which would always be cold and expensive. Notwithstanding what the newspapers said, he would still say that this was an old, heavy, cumbersome, ugly, and monastic building. They did not copy the old style of building with ships; then why should they with IChurches?—(Langhter.) Min in garrets. with ink and I l paper, might dictate to Kings and Churchwardens as well as chimney-sweepers; but it did n.,t follow, that either Kings or Churchwardens should attend to them—(l.aughter). Mr. HAMM moved, as an amendment. that the consideration of the subject should be adjourned to that day six months. Mr. BARCLAY, Mr. Porrs, and a number of most respectable inhabitants, supported the original motion, which was carrie I by a 14rge majority, as was also a resolution in favour of the strict restoration of the old Church. The edifice is, therefore, safe for the present, it the friends of the ancient remains are on the alert agairbt surprise or re-action. MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS. At the Adjourned Sessions, yeaerd.ty, several unid teresting casei of assault were disposed of. AN AMAZON. Mary An Sullivan, a lady who.e Amazonian ex ploits have mule her the terror of the parochial autho rities of St. Giles's, and have Imo her for the greater part of the last three years 44 in durance vile," was brought into Court yesterday from the House of Cor rection, where she had been consigned on a charge of riot, for the purpose of application being made to have a detainer lodged against her, for a breach of the arti des of the peace which were exhibited against her in May last. Mr. ALLEY was retained for the appellant, and from his statement it appeared, that in May last the above named female was convicted of an aggravated assault upon Mr. Bigg, the assistant overseer of St. Giles's, and sentenced to three months imprisonment, and at the end of that period to find sureties to keep the peace for the year next ensuing. Not being able to find any per son so foolish as to become bound for her, she remained in custody till the l3th January instant, when the Ma gistrates compassionately consented to discharge her upon her own recognizance. The same day she went to the workhouse in a state of drunkenness, and pushing past the porter, (*creed into the presence of Mr. Bigg, and, under pretence of making it up with him, pulled him about in a manner no way agreeable. After some difficulty she was secured, and being taken be fore a Alagistrate (Mr. Conant), was committed for as sault and riot. It was further stated that Mr. Bigg consid,red himself in danger from her violence, and the Court was therefore called upon to order her to find hail to the articles of he peace exhibited against her in May last, :loci the term of which would not expire till May next. Alt. PHILLIPS, on het behalf, hoped the Court would make no such order. The fact was, she had on her dis cl.arge gone tti the workhouse for the purpose of making it up with Mr. Bigg, and giving him a kiss; but Mr. Bigg, although he might perhaps have no objection to a kiss from a younger lady, had no desire for one from her, and he therefore gave her into custody for kissing him. (Loud isitester.) That was the whole of the matter. Mr. Bigg—N.; she did not kiss me: she only attempted to do it. Mr. Puturrs—Oh ! then, s►e tried to do it, but did not actually perpetrate the hist upon him—(Continued laughter). The defendant, whohad ►een with dilleulty kept silent hitherto, here exclaimed, " I only wanted to kiss him ; and I'd shake bands with him now, and kiss him and be friends, if he would but consent." Mr. At.tay—Yes; ►ut it would be one of Judas's kisses. The COURT finally declined granting the application made on the part of Mr. Bigg, but at the same time said she must remain in custody till bail was found for the assault for which she had hies committed. Yesterday afternoon, as some men were pulling down some old houses in Gray's Inn-lane, the building sud der►ly gave way and fell, burying in its ruins ten of the men. Seven were extricated horn the ruins, dreadfully cut and bruised. Four of them severely injured, were carried to the hospital, and two were conveyed to their dwn homes. One elderly man was carried to a neigh bouring public-house quite dead. Two pennies of Ethelred the First, were discovered a short time since, among the ruins of Ethelbert's Tower, 'Canterbury. The coins, which are ofgreat rarity, have different legends on the reverse, and are in the finest sta. e of prestivation. They are in the Canterbury Museum. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. '"=4lille Wee. or Fu m: Wirsoor.—Mr. Aldermen Weidman having complained of the misrepresentations that had appeared is the I'apers respecting the state' i f_Fleee.street, press. rated a Report to the Loan bias-roe, which detailed the examinations of the witnesses who had attended the Vestry the day before. The Report also mentioned, that the condition of Fleet-street had been tar a long time progressively improving—that groups of thieves were not to be seen prowling about day and night, and chat robberies were far from being frequent—that modest females were not subject to in sult there; that, in fact, the character of the street would not sink in the comparison with any other equally populous thoroughfare in the City of London. The Loan MAYOR was rejoiced to say that Fleet street had beta fitted greatly by the inquiry that had taken place, and that not one of those evils, which had been repre ented as grievous, and appeared to be most formidable, was any longer to be apprehended.— .Alderman Weinman referred to the Vestry Report, which con tained the plain statements of thtopolice and the inhabitants, all of whom concurred in saying, that Ilea-street was as well superin tended by the police, and as free from offensive characters and houses as any populous street in the metropolis. Mr. Butterworth stated, that he certainly considered the Report at variance with the fact. He had lived in Fleec•street for many years, and be must declare that lie had wever wen that street in so disgraceful a condition as it had been latterly. the public were certainly greatly indebted to the Lord Mayor for due promptitude with which he had attended to the application for additional alk cers, whom it had been found necessary to employ, in order to check the evils which were now declared not to have existed. After a great deal of conversation, in which it was stated, that Fleet street was now as free as any street from bad characters, and that the public-houses were couducced in an orderly and Viet manner, the Alderman and Common Council of the Waed returned thanks to the Lord Mayor, and retired from the Justice Room. GUILDHALL. A well•dressed old man, who had been followed some hours by a Crcditur who casually met him in the street, yesterday appealed to his Worship to rid Mtn of this annoyance. The Creditor said the applicant owed him hat It. but be had taken in all his neighbours to heavier amounts, and be was deter mined to *se where be was now living, let it cost him what trouble and expense it might. The old Gentleman bad put him to the expense of coach hire just now. Mr. Alderman tistrre asked the complainant why he bad not paid for the goods? Applicant: lie. cause I was not able. Mr. Alderman Sets= : Then, why did you take the goods? I shall not assist you; but, (turning to the Cre ditor) I advise you to be peaceable, and not to obstruct him, by walking before him. _ _ The old Gentleman departed much disappointed, the Creditor still close in his rear. BOW-STREET. Joseph &rat, otherwise Assam:, an African Jew, who has wan dered to this couwry, from the ancient town of Salke, in Africa, with a venture of silks, spices, rhubarb, &c. was brought before the Magistrates, yesterday, charged with hawking his wares without a license from the Hawkers' and Pedlars' Of f ice. Poor Joseph could speak no English, beyond the different de nominations of the English coin; and therefore he had provided himself with a sprightly Hebrew, from Duke's-place, as an inter peter ; and the fact of his having gone from house to house, in the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, offering his wares for sale, without license, as aforesaid, being hilly proved, his interpreter was directed to ask him what he had to say in his defence ? The interpreter put the question in Hebrew; and Joseph having given him a shortanswer—ending with a melancholy shrug of the shoul ders, which lifted his blur gaberdine some us inches from his heels.; the interpreter replied—" Oh ! he say noting at all ; only he wish hisiself and his merchandise safe back at Sallee !" He was convicted in the full penalty of £lo—the Solicitor of the Hawkers' Office insisting that it was necessary to make an example; but, at the instigation of his interpreter, Joseph appealed against the conviction, and entered into the requisite securities to prosecute his appeal at the Quarter Sessions. Several publicans were fined, fqr allowing certain of the lieges to remain tippling in their taprooms, &c. at unseasonable boon; upon the inhumation of that anti-bibasious pervmage i Muter Johnson—who, if he could have his way, would never s ailer any man to " take his ease in his inn" after twelve o'clock at Right. ChrtitAGICOUS RESISTANCX or LICAL PKOCCII3.—For tome d-11 put, Brown's lane, Spitalhelds, hai been kept in a state of tumsk and confusion in consequence of a currier, named Edward Lausson, said to be insane, having armed between thirty and forty men in his house, and put the whole of his extensive premises in a state of complete Cordfication against all officers who might attempt to execute any legal process. The first person who entered was the King's Tax Gatherer; he and his attendants were vety roughly used, and speedily ejected. For this resistance a warrant for an assault was immediately granted at this Office, and one of the Police officers was directed to execute it; but he was effectually resisted. Yesterday, Lawson displayed a placard, inviting the dis tressed weavers to come to Isis assistance in resisting the iAse; but his call was not obeyed. The warrant of Bankruptcy was after wards executed, but not without considerable resistance being ex perienced by the officers. Having at length forced their way into the premises, the offices. found nearly thirty pikes, which consisted or a long pole, with a knife, about eight inches long, suck to the end of it. Some of the knives were ground on the back, imitating a cut and thrust sword. They found also the front part of the pre mises strongly barricadoed with large pl inks of mahogany, and with large hogsheads full of brick-bats, and the whole of the pre. mists in a state of defence calculated to resist military power, and Lawson, his brother, and a man were brought to the office, an 1 on exanunation before SAaroas Twreoats, Esq. lAwson and his bro ther were committed to the House of Correction for further exa mination. Lawson is slightly wounded in the thigh. It appears that the multitude collected in the street on this nem 'ion, amounting to upwards of a thousand people, behaved wi:h a propriety that reelects the highest credit on them, particularly at a dine when so many thousands in the immediate vicinity ace in want of employment. it was noticed that when the officers were making the breach Lawson's sister addres.ed the multitude front the window, calling upon them to fight in their own cause, and not let her brother be taken. The multitude answered her by hisses and groans, at the same time encouraging the officers to do their duty.

To tese may be added, though' not immediately on the site, the new Church, a chastely elegant edifice, which is just corn. pleted, and the tower of which is visible throughout the district. These are principally results of the opening of the Regent's Canal, which, as they were pi obahly the last, if any, object of the original projectors, presents an instance of collateral advantage highly encouraging to the spirit of useful enterprise. Everywhere we see its benefits, but here it has oonverted a mere waste into a cheerful and even populous town. One of the old ceremonies in Spain, to notify the Queen's p i rmancy, was her going in a chair to out Lady Da , all the grandees following on foot. This image was of wood, and used annually on her festival to weep most copiously, which drew tears from all the congregation. One day, the preacher observing a person with dry eyes, called to him—how he could for bear weeping wteu the Holy Virgin shed fisods of tears? " Ah I reverend lather," answered he, " I am the per son who yesterday fixed her in a nick, in doing which I drove three large nails into her back : if ever she was able to cry, it would surely have been then." It was observed one day to a cele.nated living cha racter, who is remarkable for his hospitality, but more remarkable for an independent spirit, that will not suffer him to be a hanger-on at the tables of the great ; that he was" a man more dined against than dining."

MA It LBOROUG H STREET. FOIIIIIN MARRIAG/M—Yesterday was the do appointed by Mr. , Winklield and Mr. Hitchcock for the Seal decision of this la. I portant case, the particulars of which have appeared in our Paper. In the course of the morning Mr. Grist entered the office and gave into. Mr. Dirsit's hands the Act of l'arliament, which was brought forward by Lord Holland in July, 1823, entitled " An Act to render Foreign Marriages valid." Mr. Grist stated that he had not been aware of such an Act until a Gentleman in the office had informed him of the circumstance, and he considered, from the wording of the Act, that it wu totally free from every objection which the defendant's party could urge, as the Act went to render valid retrospectively as weU as for the future, all marriages on the Continent, either in the army or navy, provided they were per formed by a Clergyman of the Established Church. Mr. Dr en, ou reading the Act, observed, that Consuls were left out by the term factors; and British factories in a foreign coun try were stated to possess the same privileges as aq Ambassador's house; and if the house of a Consul was considered as a factory, it went to overthrow all objections. Jun, however, at the close of the office, none of the parties Making their appearance, Mr. Dyer sent over to Mr. Winkbeld, who inaptly attended; when Mr. Winklield stated that there had been a consultation of the different parties at his house, and were then there; when an arrangement was likely to take place, by Mr. Vedas agreeing to give Mrs. Podia a sum of money (we believe about SOL or VOL) but the question as to whether the marriage was valid or not was nut argued; although he was not inclined to give up one tittle of the validity. Mr. Drift replied, that Lord Holland's Act, and which Mr.G. - ist had brought with him, set aside all doubts upon the subject. IV Hemmen, an Irish labourer, was charged with having com mitted a riot, and with having assaulted a Mrs. Lamb, at her own house in Henry-street, Hampstead-road. Mr. Tkessiger and Mr. Drawn, a solicitor, appeared for the complainant. Mr. Theesiger said that the complainant occupied a house in Henry -street, Hamp stead, she was a widow and had resided there fur above 20 years.-- She had let out the lower part of her house to a man named Keifer, who carried on the business of a coal-deakr. This person wished to obtain possession of the house, and be had insulted and annoyed Mrs. Lamb because she refused to give it up. She, however, gave Keffer notice to quit, and put in a distress on his goods at Christmas last. On Wednesday Keifer having hired about seven or eight fel. lows of the lowest description, at a shilling a head, went to Mrs. Lamb's house, where they forcibly obtained an entrance, and the amen, under Keffer 's directions, threw the goods belonging to the poor weasels into the street from the windows—china, glasses, and mahogany tables and chairs were all destroyed. They then nailed down the windows, and fastened Mrs. Lamb in her room, where she remained all night without a single article of furniture being left for her use. Mr. Keen, a baker, residing in Henry-street,deposed that on Wednesday evening he beard the cries of " Murder I" and on going into the. street, he saw the prisoner throwing the goods out of the window. at Mrs. Lamb's horse. He endeavoured to enter the place after a mahogany table had been thrown out of the window, but Keifer and his men said that none of Mrs. Lamb's friends should enter the house that night. Miss Lamb stated, that when the men entered the room, ski ran out to procure assistance, and on her return she was pushed down stairs by Keffer, who 'truck her, and his sister in law also assaulted her. Her mother was nailed in the room all night, and she (witness) was compelled to remain in the street all night. Hannan, in his defence, said, he was hired by a nun to do half an hour's work for a shilling, but he sai d that the goods were taken down very carefully, and were not thrown out-of the window.
