It continued a minute, and the direction was from North to South.' At the beginning it was accompanied by a low and hollow sound, which was succeeded by a loud rumbling. The sky was serene and calm, but the day before there was a violent storm from the South, which continued for 24 hours.

SLOANE...STRUT BtiLR ASSOCIATION.. -The Eleventh Annual Meeting of the friends and supporters of this Auxiliary, was held yesterday, at Augges's Manufac tory, Knightsbridge, the Right Hon. Sir G. Rosa, Bart. in the Chair, supported by several eminent Clergymen, and a highly numerous and respectable assembly. The' Chairman briefly called the attention of the Company to the Report of the Committee of the last year's pro ceedings, which was read at considerable length, and detailed the operations of the Society. The sum of 13011. had been received in subscriptions since the tormation, and 1,917 Bibles and 274 Testaments had been distributed ; 251. had this year been remitted to the Parent Society. The Report concluded by an en logium on the Ladies' Committee, for their active co. operation and an entreaty for farther aid. The Report being agreed to, several Gentlemen addressed the As sembly on the importance of Bible Societies; thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting separated. Yesterday, the Thirteenth Annual Meeting of tha North-West London Auxiliary Bible Society was held at the Argyll Rooms, Regent-street; Sir T. BARING, Batt. M.P. in the Chair. From the Report read, it, appeared that the Society had circulated 13,416 Bibles; that they derived considerable assistance from the Ladies' Society, from which they received, in aid of the funds of the Society, a sum of 1361. Ils.; but they still had to express their regret at the low state of their fonds ' • so low, that they we r e on l y ena bl e d to send SOLI to the Parent Society. It concluded by warmly ap pealing to the Meeting in support of the funds of tbn Society. Several Resolutions were passed, and t b . Meeting broke up. A countryman was boasting a few days since, .that. be had signed no less than four Petitions in owe day,. " twa to the House o'Lords, and twa to tire House o' Commons." And what were they about Thomas?" a neighbour asked. " Ou! for emancipation to the slaves and the sma' notes." " And what ken ye about either slaver) Or sma' notes, Thomas?" " Deel, gin the truth were kept, John, ur.co little, but I did the ane to please tt e Minister, and the tither to please the Laird."— th Courier. MR. SECRETARY CANNING. " The rank Is but the guhwa stamp,— Tke nun's the sowd for a' that."BITIIIIIIR Seldom has this saying of the eloquent and sagacious ploughman been more completely verified than in the case of the present witty, brilliant, and (which are more to the purpose) liberal, manly, and inflexible Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Many, very many, of those who have held the situation which he now honours, have depended wholly upon that situation for respect while they lived; and, when called from this world, their chief, and indeed their only public monument, has been found in the obituary of public men. How different is it in the/vase of Mr. Canning; No Secre tary has done more for the honour of the national name : he found that name breathed in the conclaves of despots, as one which was all but won to their cause, and muttered in the assemblies of the free as one which bad done every thing short of actually drawing the steel and discharging the gun against them. He has not been four years in office; and how stands the character of England I among foreign nations now? Does any one fear that she will exert her power either in the perpetration or the prolongation of slavery— slavery of any kind, whether of the body or the mind ?—No. She has not merely regained her former altitude, but she has risen to one_ still higher—she has given the right hand of her fellowship to every people who have dared to be free, and have shown themselves capa. ble of being so. Look at the wide extent of those States in the Northern and Western parts of South America, which, but a brief space ago, were so bound in the fetters of European tyranny, that to them the richest bounty of Heaven was unavailable; observe how they are becoming thronged with people—bow those people are exerting themselves in industry ; and glance your eye forward for a few years to anticipate the triumphs over Mental and religious darkness which must' follow the career of civil light, will add to , the value and comfort of the human race; and when you have done so, you will be able to form some idea of the good that has been done—or at least so aided, that without that it would not have been done by the manly, yet unobtrusive policy of the British Secretary. Never was there a man of splendid talents, and sterling inflexible integrity, so much and so beg belied as he. He was a mere orator, or rather Parliamentary buffoon—he was a needy adventurer, who might be bent any way where lay the smallest bribe—be was even worse than all these—an ingrate to his friends, and a traitor to his country. These thins were said ; and they were, without inquiry, believed. But all the while Mr. Canning was perhaps the most staunch and unbending politician in the whole House. There is not an instance in which he sacrificed his principles to his interest; though there are many in which he sacrificed his interests to his principles. Never did he come into office by the abandonment of aay one position which he bad once firmly taken up; but several times has he retired from office for the sake of his principles, when temptations lay thick, and, to most people, irresistible, around him. We have, certainly with no bias in his favour, watched him under several Administrations, and in the discussion of many questions. Up to a certain point, be was the advocate—the brilliant and efficient advocate—of the men sures of Ministers; but upon no question—that is, upon no doubtfel question, was he ever what is called a thick-and-thin man. Thin was always a point at which he stopped, and beyond which neither force nor favour seemed capable of moving him. He, in the exubesi ance of his imagination, sometimes ram out into sallies which you could not altogether approve; but never was he found once prosti tuting his great talents by a deliberate attack upon any of the broad and defined principles of liberty. 'His conduct in coming into office (refusing to come in under any shackle), and his conduct in office, are the best commentary upon his principles; and, taking them altogether, there are really few public men of any kind, and certainly no public man of the same talent and exposed to the same temptations. that could stand so severe a test. It is utterly impossible to do Mr. Canning justice as a public speaker: nit bold, open, and manly air—the sniffle us hastens which shows how securely be feels that the victory will be, or ought to be, on his side—the grace of ha gestures—the music of his voice—and the exquisite effect of his cadences—it is impossible to describe. Huskiason can be mote profound; Robinson, In his happier moments, can be fully as clear; Tierney can be as biting; Brougham can be more terrible; Macintosh can (or rather could) be more ornate ; and scores that could be named are more lengthy but, whether we regard the aspect of the man, the manner in which he delivers himself, or the general principles upon which he pro ceeds, Canning, in our opinion, stands without a rival, and with but little chance of a successful imitator. When, in addition to those brilliant qualities, the boldness and value of Ms conduct are taken into the account, we have no hesitation in saying that, taking him all in all, Mr. Canning reflects more honour upon his bigh office than any officesould reflect upon him.—Dissersteri Ga.-sus. We learn by the Sierra Leone Royal Gazettes that his Majesty's ship Maidstone, Commodore Mien, had arrived at that anchorage on the 11th December, from leeward, after an absence of seven months. The whole of the squadron under his orders had been most-actively employed, and no less than 14 slave vessels had been captured, whose united tonnage amounted to 1,690 tons. The Maidstone boarded, amongst other French vessels, a corvette, fully manned and armed. which had sailed originally with 1,000 human victims on board, but had, previously to the Commodore's falling - in with her, put 250 on board another vessel. Inert Areasows.—A few days ago some contraband tobacco was seized at Kiltealy, and lodged in the stores of the Fairfield Distillery. The Excise officer, having determined to remove the booty to Enniscorthy, pro ceeded with it to that town, accompanied by a guard of three policemen, well armed. They had scarcely advanced half a mile, when they were met by about three hundred aremen, who drew themselves up in battle array, and seemed resolutely bent on coming to dose quarters with the men. Whether those female warriors were armed cap : a-pie or not, our informant does net state; but certain it is that the seizing officer and his party were seized with a panic, and the former, think ing it better to •• live to fight another day" than trust to the uncertain issue of a contest on the present occa sion, ran off with all possible speed, and did not even wait to recognise the enemy's position. The three policemen, however, had sufficient courage to maintain their ground, If, as history tells us, the conqueror of the world was subdued at the head of his victorious troops by one woman, need we feel any surprise that three men, bachelors, should have been disheartened when attacked by three hundred such adversaries? 44 'Tis woman, dear woman," as the song says, •• that robs us of pleasure, robs us of ease; and, add the Elcise officer and his party, of tobacco also I They knew that there was no remedy, and that, even if they could have set fire to their magazine, it would have ended only in smoke" . As the heroines presented such a formidable front, and as their owe leader had retreated, . it.would have been abiurd .fi.r them to •• show fight" . under such circumstances, and therefore the poor police men very wisely sum ndered at discreti ,, n, throwing themselves on the mercy of their fail assailants. They were deliberately seised, placed on their backs on the ground, amidst the laughter of the captors, and hi ld there until the entire of the tobacco was carried away. They were then set at liberty, and the victorious Ama zons gave them three cheers on their departure.— Wexford Retold. REV. M.R. IRVING'S CHURCH. A Meeting of the Subscribers to the new National Scotch Church was held in Croecctreet, Hatton Garden, on Monday evening, for the purpose of forming an Auxiliary Committee in aid of the funds, and for disposing of the vaults under the Church. Mr. laviao opened the \letting, and the Steers.* av read the Report, which stated, that they had paid to the Contractors 50001. and upwards, and that they had a balance of 59/. in hand; and they anticipated considerable assistance by the sale of the vaults. He exhorted them to use their utmost exertions in collecting the out standing subscriptions, and in getting stew ones. Mr. Num.: hoped t hat the congregation would encourage them as much as possible, by making a point of putting something, how ever small, into the plate after the services. A Gentleman suggested the propriety of abolishing the custom of eollecting money at the doors for the purposes of the new Church. It ought to be given to the poor; such was the ancient practice of Scotland. . . . . Mr. Ammo admitted that it was the ancient prattice of Scotland, for even the children in Scotland prided themselves in giving' to the poor; and it was a common practice in his father's house, to send out for halfpence on the Saturday night, for the purpose of supplying the family. It was, indeed, a part of the ceremony of going to Church, and that was the reason why there were no poor laws in Scotland—but this was an ezirtrardinary aeccuion, they had an abject in view, and they ought to depart froin the usual custom until they bad attained heir object, and formed dui? congregation. Mr. Mate said, that he most fully concurred in the observation of his friend Mr. Nisbet. The congregation had nut done enough ; their exertions had not been oommensurate witi► their wealth.— They might build a Church that would bulb as many people as that which they were now erecting for some 6 or 8,0001.; but they wanted a Church that would do honour to the Scotch nation. It they did net do their duty in this instance, they would disgrac: their country, and instead of that•building being a monument of Scotch munificence, it would be a monument of Scotch ',title and parsimony. Mr. klaezerrosti thought the subscriptions would assume a p.m aspect if the congregation were called together oftener. lie said also that two of his friends who bad put their names down for five guineas each had refused to pay, because they were excluded by the Trust Deed, which had lately been executed, from taking any part in the concerns of the Church, or in the election of a►►y torture Minister. Mr. Irmo said, the draft of the deed had been read to the con gregation, and agreed to, with only one dissenting voice. It had been regulaily engrossed and executed, and of course could not be altered. But those who felt themselves aggrieved had one remedy, and happy should he be to see them avail themselves of it. They ' could qualify themselves to vote in the election of any future Minis ter, by joining themselves to the Church, and taking their seats'at ' the table of the LOUD. An Auxiliary Committee was then formed; the prices of the vaults were fixed by the Committee; thanks were voted to the Rev. Gentleman for his assistance, and the Meeting adjourned. '.• A Correspondent in a Morning Paper, alluding to the build ing of this National Scotch Church, after stating the estimated ex pellee at 16,0001- has the following pertinent enquiries and remarks: "Did not the intention of erecting this new National Scotch Church originate with the congregation convened and meeting on the 10th May, 1823? Was net the Re 4. Edward Irving appointed by that congregation so met to be the minister of their new church? Did he not sanction that meeting with his presence, and sign the resolu tions then unanimously agreed toy Has not all power been since taken away from that congregation by some deed, which no doubt is considered a good one, and vests that power, which originally was congregational, in the communicants only? If these questions are not denied, then, Sir, as 11,0001. are still wanted, let the com municants raise the money themselves, so as to give them the power to appropriate that money when 40 raised." The receipts for duties at the Custom-house, New castle, in the quarter ending the sth inst. amounted to nearly 100,0001. COURT OE COMMON Coustmc.--A Court of Com mon Council was held yesterday, st Guildhall. Mr. Him the Chairman of the Improvement Committee, in presenting the report on London Bridge, deemed it .proper to inform the Court, that a conference having taken place viiiis . the Secretary to the treasury respect-1 ing the sum of inon-i which would be requisite fore continuing the rebuilding of London Bridge, and to' obtain which a Bill was now in the House of Commons, .and about to be reported, the Government desired that rabey should • have security on the Bridge-house estates, 'for any sum which it might be expedient to advance the Committee for the purposes required. It was further proposed, that a Trustee should be nominated by Go vernment, to whom the security should be granted, aiid that the Government should be entitled to a prior claim on the Bridge-house estates. The proposition was ac ceded to.—On the Motion of Mr. HICK, it was moved that a conference should be held with his Majesty's Judges, for the purpose of considering the convenience and propriety of removing the Fleet prison. Mr. Al derman WAITHMAN observed, that he believed Govern ment would have no objection to the removal of. the Fleet prison, and he thought that the ground on which that building stood was so valuable that the removal would be effected with little expense. After a few words from Mr. DIXON, the motion was agreed to. FRIENDS or FORRIGNERS IN DISTRES3.—This Society celebrated its anniversary dinner yesterday at the City of London Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of Suisse presided, in the room of the Duke of Yotte, for whose absence he pleaded the injunction of his physi cians against going into crowded assemblies. The Royal Chairman was supported by his Excellency Prince Po-• ctosac, the French Ambassador, and other persons of distinction, both foreign and native. The general as semblage, however, was not •so numerous as on the preceding anniversary ; and the subscriptions, although liberal, tell short in amsunt of those of list year by up wards of 1001. In the course of the evening the 11.9yal Doke took occasion to explain the nature of the charity and enforce its claims to suppo• t. The objects of the Institution are, to grant relief to indigent foreigners here, without distinction of country or religion, espe cially to those who are not entitled to parochial aid; and to furnish the means to such as are desirous of re turning to their own countries. From the support which the Society has hitherto received, the Directors have been enabled to afford temporary relief to 19,673 fo reigners of different nations, and to grant ?usual pen. sions towards the maintenance of 60 individuals, most of whom are between 80 and 90 years of age, and al. most all have spent their lives in improving the cons me:cc and manufactures of this country, but . are now totally disabled by age and infirmity from earning s livelihood, or returning to the places of their nativity. After proposing a variety of toasts, all of which were received with the greatest cordiality, hi s R o y a l High.' ness retired at ten p' clock. The proceedings of the evening were considerably enlivened by the singing oil Signors DE BIGNIs and Soca, and several of our native, vocalists ; and the performance of Mr. FURSTRNAN upon thefitge. The subscription list amounted to 7111. FACILITY 07 INTERNAL INTRIICOURSZ IN ENGLAND. —Some common yet curious calculations, evince the singular facility and frequency of this interviurse.
