A vets respectable meeting was held at the Sessions lein-e, Bedford, on Ft May last, to commemorate the lOtli y of the Bedford and Bedfordshire Auxiliary Bible Society. His GI ace the Duke of Bedford took the chair, and was *appalled by F. Pym, Esq. M.P. and several clergymen soil g,•utlenmu. Tile noble Chairman opened the business of the day in a neat speech. His Grace then read the report of the committee, by which it appeared that in the last year 51io Bibles and 9ls Testaments have been distributed; and since the institution of this Auxiliary Society, 10,917 Bibles and Testaments have brew circulated. The sum of had been transmitted to the Parent Society, and a ba eis illumining iti the hands of the treasurer of 831. The Rev. Mr. Hughes said it was impossible for him to discharge his duty without adverting in terms of great commendation to the spirit and language of that report, which the rev. gent. highly eulogised, as well as the com mittee. Ile next adverted to the general operations of the Society, and especially to the weal success which hail attended the limitish and Foreign Bible Society, since its commencement iu IhOr. Prisons bad been known to ti 41 el eight or nine bundled miles to implore the copy of the Bible. The rev. gent. said " peat bIICCeSS had at tended the Society, but we are but now beginning to know the wants xf the human lace. What are four millioda of copies of the Scriptures among the hundred millions who ale destitute of them ?" Mr. Hughes concluded im elo quent speech, by urging continued and increased exertions in the peat cause. were voted to the Chairman, after a variety of adobe:q.t.' , from different gentlemen.

The eighth mini VerSilly meeting of the Brighton Ladies' Bildt Association was held on Thursday evening, at the o.d Ship Tartru Assembly-louni, Brighton, which was tilled on the occasion by u ino:4 respectable company, a Fr rat portion of whom were females. Sir David Scutt, Bait. very ably presided, ■nd the report was satisfactory. ........ M A ZS On Wednesday the 11th anniversary meeting of the Dl,•u.cficstcr and Salford Analliaty Bible Society was held iii (lie large room of the Exchange•bnildings. By half_ past two o'clock (the time announced for the commence era of the proceedings) the room es as tilled to excess in ci y part, and great members went away, unable to pro cure admission. The Borouglireeve of Manchester was en;led to the chair, and the repot t of the Auxiliary Society tor the last year was rend by the Het W. Ruby. A number of resolutions were them submitted to the tut eting, all of which were prefaced by eloquent ad -4:1 T!.e Kt v. Dr. Collyer took a review of the objections s Lich hail been at ditlerent times, and by different per sons, urged agaiust the Bible Society; and remarked er i their inconsistent and contradictory nature. After tiying out on the disorganization of the 'uciety, they now exclaimed against its union ; the pronounced it a danger. WO conspiracy, and declared that its objects must he inimical to the church or the state. Perhaps the °petal tions of the Bible Society would be the best answer to al cavils. Whilst its opponents had been reasoning on hy putletical objections, the Society had been translating the Scriptures into more than lon languages, and dissentinat iliC (Item throughout the world. the Rev.

About half-past nine o'clock on Sun day morning the deceased set off to Islillbank to meet Horner; I and others followed. limiter came about twenty minutes tiller the deceased an ived at Millbank, with some friends.— When Horner arrived,' he and the deceased threw up their huts, a ring ens formed, and they began to fight. They fought for about a quarter of an hour, and Horner could not COWL' up to the scratch when time aas culled. The deceased of coui se aon the battle. The ring was broken iu.

He stood before Horner, and thrust out his list to strike him, and Horner struck him in return. The deceased fell. Ido hut know if Horner fell during the last round. The deceased one senseless when taken up, and was carried to a doctor in Idurshatu street, aho bled him, but it did nut recover him the least. There were bets laid during the tight by the seconds ;and others. The deceased's second did not urge him to continue the tight, but wanted to take him assay several rounds before lie teli senseless. Thy• Coroner asked if there was any fusilier evidence, and receiving au amasser in the negative, he addressed the jury. Ile said that he was himself passing the l'euitcwiary when the light, a hick cu.t die deased his life took place. A more disgraceful scene, perhaps, never was ezhibited, and it was it disgrace to n Chriwisis country that such brutal and illegal practices should lake place on a Sunday morning, without the interference of the police. Not a Sunday morning had elapsed for a number of weeks. without a boxing match taking place at Millhank, and lie trusted that, fillet this event the police would abate the nuisance. The Jury would, no doubt, be satisfied that the deceased died front the effects of the blows orfAlls when fighting; and lie would state to them that the law ats clearly defined upon the subject of boxing. All the twilit:oldies laid down to be an unlawital practice, anti the law aahl, that " justifiable sus Old where the death of a person had been caused by accident, of where, in a sadden affray, a person killed another in self defence. But in a cause like the present, where the parties met some days after the original quarrel, and deliberately stripped to tight fur money, and during the illegal act one Milli received violent blows that caused his death—claws :timed at parts of the body of the most dangerous, and likely to produce sucn an effect, lie could find no excuse for it. It was clearly " manslaughter," in the eye of the law, unless the jury thought the act was attended attic malice, and t hen it ails " minder." Verdict—" Manslaughter against Edw. Horner." NOR 1 1:1Y. The following notice was posted on Monday last at : Lloyd's MONDAY, OCT. 150--Extract of a lever from the agent at Landetiuttl. in Norway, dated September 22 :-.•• A new Light house is erected on this coast within my district in Christiana river, within Fader Light, which is very useful to guide ships in dark nights naming or beating up or down the river, the want of a light on these Fuglehuk Rocks having proved fatal to many vessels. " The Fuglehuk Rocks are the three south-east of BoHazen*, lying outmost rocks; they are lying close to one another in a straight line from south to north. The Light-house is 42 feet above the surface, and is a light eclipsed every half minute, to distinguish it from the Fertler Light, and will for the first time be lighkal on the Ist of November next. In case the wind and sea are so high that a vessel in the night cannot beat up from the coast, which is very difficult, as the current sets on the shore in heavy galore, and not having a pilot on board, she may with safety now run for Ferrier Light, and from thence steer for the new Fuglehuk Light, where a vessel in tolerable smooth water can keep her cruising in sight of the Light omit the horning; she will always keep her place, as the current from the Drum and Christiania river is under her lee side; or if the vessel has a pilot on board, he will from thence at any time run the ship to a good anchorage."
