With tuen like these. my Lord, I shall ever remain in error, nor shall I desert those errors feedfor the drunken death bed of a Pattie. or the delirious war-hoop of the surriris•ing fiends, who would erect his altar on the ruins of society. In my opinion it is difficult to say, whether their tenets are more ludicmus or moredetestable. They will not obey the King or the Prince, or the Parliament or Constitu tion, but they will obey anarchy. They will not believe in the Prophets—in Moses—in Mahomet—in Christ— but they believe Tom Paine I With no Government but contusion, and no Creed but scepticism. 1 beli e ve, in my soul, they would abjure the one, if it because le gitimate, and rebel against the other, if it was once -established. Holding, my Lord, such opinions as these I should consider myself culpable, if, at such a crisis, I did not declare them. A loirdr of auy country, I yet • draw a line isetween patriotism and rebellion. A warns friend to liberty of conscience. I will not cottiound tuletation with infidelity. With all its ambiguity, I s hall die its the doctrines of the Christian taint ; anal with all its errors, 1 am contented to live under the glorious safeguards of the British Constitution." During the course of this speech, Mr. Phillips was frequently interrupted by the loud and enthusiastic ap platise of the Meeting. His Lordship came forward, and took the occasion of expressing its high terms the powerful effect of Mr. Phillips's eloquence—the Bible Society, and, indeed, Christianity. were indebted to the exertions oi that Gentleman. Mr. Alderman BRIDGES, the Lord Mayor Elect, staid, that after the blaze of eloquence which had de lightid the Meeting, he would not trespass for any length of time upon their attention. He agreed with his •Lordship, on the propriety of using every means to check the progress of works of infidelity. The Rev. Daum. Wicauss next addresseil the Meeting at 'considerable length, and with vita' effect. _ _ The Rev. Mr.STEINKOPET, a German Missionary, stated, that in his own country there were 700 Bible Societies; so great, indeed, was the dissentinati.4l of *he word of God that three Roman Catholic Priests in germany were known to have distributed three hundred ousand Bibles.—( Hear, hear !) The Rev. JOSEPH HUGHES and Mr. Alderman IjIRCH spoke at considerable length. The following Resolution was then put and carried unanimously : Resolvev—That the warmest thanks .of this Meeting be given to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, (or his willow attention to the business of the Meeting, and fur his able and judicious conduct in the Chair, 4his day. . . .

ABERDEEN, Ocr. 27: On Saturday and Sunday last, we were visited with one of the most tremendous gales which Lave been experienced on this coast for many years. It commenced on Saturday afternoon, and continued during that night, and till late on Sunday night, blowing from N. and N.N.W. in squalls of tmexam pled violence, accompanied with snow and sleet ; and we regret to learn, has been productive of most disastrous consequences to the shipping, but more particularly along the coast. From the direction of the storm, the shores of the Moray-tiith have chiefly suffered ; the various creeks and harbours from Buckie to Kinnaird's Head presenting one continued scene of devastation ; among which, we are grieved to mention, that the new harliours of Banff and Macduff have sustained incalculable dama g e. The works at Macduff, to which the noble and patriotic proprietor had roatributedSo largely, are nearly de stroyed. At Retihyth, Cullen, Portknockie, Buckle, and Rottensiough, great quantities of herrings and other property buve been carried off, and many fishing boats dashed to pieces. At the last mentioned creek, the sloop Industry was put ashore, and has become a wreck—crew and part of her materials caved and at Portsoy the piers, which had stood above 100 years, have been carried away, and about 10001. value of herrings lost. During the violence of the . gale, public worship was entirely suspended, the people being employed iu endeavouring to save their property,.and secure their dwellings. A foreign brig, loaded with flax and flu seed, is on shore in Band: bay, and hei mate said to be drowned; and a vessel, loaded with herrings, driven ashore at Port knockie, crew saved; but the cargo entirely lust. At Peterhead, the sloop Aid, loading oil at the South Quay, was driven from her moorings, and totally wrecked on the west side of the bay; about 20 tons of oil have been saved, and 16 lost. We are also sorry to learn, that the breakwater at the new harbour received some considerable damage, but the extent had not exactly been ascertained, owing to the continued violence of the surf. We subjoin the following from our correspondents at Fruserburgh and Stonehaven: - FRASERBIIIIGIi. A shocking spectacle present itself this morning on the north side of tinnaird's-bead lighthouse, where during the night the brig Adonis, of Liver pool, had been driven on the rocks, and dashed to pieces, and all on board perished ; the wreck of both vessel and cargo strewed along the shore, exhibiting an awful catastrophe, the carg o Consisting of hemp and tallow. Several dead bodies were repeatedly seen this forenoon, dashing against the face of the rocks by the violence of the waves, one of whom had thwappearunce of having been a passenger, as he had on a long black cloak. Several articles of chil dren's clothes have been also washed ou shore. On a small pert of the stern was " Adonis, Liverpool;" and on a signboard, " Adonis, George Atkinson, for Oporto." S'fONEHAVES. From the violence of the easterly-storm between Saturday and Sunday, a run of the heaviest sea that has been seen here for a long time back, rolled into oar harbour, which is quite open to the storms from that quarter, and is ut best but poor shelter for ves sels during the winter season. About one o'clock on Sunday, a small sloop, belonging to Wm. Smart, of this place, broke from her moorings, and was dri ven with such force upon the beach beyond the harbour, that, in the course of a few minutes, she was literally dashed to pieces—scarcely a plank or deal in the whole hull but was broken into different parts. She had on board 163 barrels of cured her rings, all of which. except S casks, are totally lost. None of the crew were on board at the time she broke loose, or they must undoubtedly have perished. Mr. Alexander's sloop also broke from pert of her moorings, but Mrtunittely her bead-rope stood firm until she got re-fastened, or she must have shared the same fate as the other; but unluckily the head ropes of Smart's vessel gave way first, when she instantly swung round before both wind and water. The greatest part of her standing rigging and sails are saved. The lute storm has been severely felt elm; the North Devon coast. On Thursday a fishing•boat belonging to Clove!ly, with seven men, was lost in sight of that romantic village, one only being saved. This melancholy accident is touch embittered by the reflection, that the six unfortunate individuals have all left behind them wives and families to the extent altogether of 35 children! One of the men was called Brent, and formerly attended Dock mar. ket. Several other lie, ring boats were dispersed i:t different directions, wine being driven on the oppu. site coast. An American ship possed up channel on Thursday, laden with cotton; she, had on board five men, taken off the wreck of a brig laden with timber in the Chops of the Channel. There men report their vessel have been laid on her beam ends in a gale of wind, but on her masts being cut away she righted, when two of the crew fell overboard and were drowned. The survivors remained on the wreck, living on raw salt pork 14 dsys, when the American vessel happily fill in with them. The Funds have remained in a state of depression during the psi week, although the panic that ortifiu. ally produced it does not appear to have spread into the country, so as to have produced front thence, as had ne n expectvd, any retnarkabe influx of orders for this sale amuck. Toe prices are now as low a• litt-v were at that memorable period, the eve of the negneiation lug the 133 t loan, whets a sudden rise of 3 or 4 pet a ccina produced euuaeyta•uces so disastrius to the itiftetalatora for a fall. That similar results will 116W.CIISlie, is week!. however, be hazardous to predict. The arguments on which the advocwes for a further tall rely, are, the altered state of the country, her distre sed commerce and internal troubles; to which are added, an increasing rail.. of extreme, combining, with the diminution of the revenue, to induce a limber claim by the Goverment on resources already exhausted, or taxed to the u st. To these the other party oppose the assertion, founded on exper.ence, that the very extent and activity of our commerce -.expose us to these seasons of distress.; that a re-action is tenth', and will bring with it prosperity to .our cnnnterce, and imorovenictit to our finances, in the same proportion that both have suflired ; that the popular tumults, confined to a few districts, will shortly be suppressed by the arm of power, and that their future recurrence will be prevented by some wise and powerful legislative enactments, that gloomy .piessages are but ties characteristic of the country, 'end that all classes - of pes so•.s enga t cd iu the blvectilo ions of commerce, or of the motley market, and who have despoi.ded of the Cowls try, will eagerly turn their views, nu the least chanse a& circumstances, in an opposite direction. At the'Siock. exchange money has been extremely abundant, and money stock so scarce as to produce little -difference iu value between that and the purchases made for the account.. The rate of continuation, in capital so em ployed, has not produced more thall4 or 3 per cent.— The public, it is believed, have nut generally been sellers of stock ; those who possess It hesitate at disposing. of it at the present prices; though it does not appear, on .the other hand, that those who had prev'ously sold are inclined to reinstate themselves.; the majority, partaking of the existing panic, hold .in the expectation of a further depression. Standard gold is now at 78s. Gd• the ounce, and would be still lustier, but the demand for it is extremely limited.— We are sorry to state, that the Rhine packet, from Hamhurgh, which arrived at Leith on Thurs day, brought accounts that the Albion packet, from Leith to Hamburgh, had run ashore on the coast of Holism!. We learn that Captain Hosie, of the Rhine, en his passage down the Elbe, spoke a Blankuncse boat, who related the unfortunate circumstance. NVith the exception of the sugar, the greater part of the cargo is saved, and there are also hopes the vessel may be got off. . Thursday an expPriment took place at the Rot•ul Arsenal Woolwich, of a new method of pla,ing sights on the guns and carronales used on board ships of war, thereby affording a grafter facility in pointing those weapons. The invto.iion is that of Gen. Sir William Congreve, and, it is said, is very superior to any thing that has hitherto been pro duced. Admiral Sir C. Rowley, Sir E. Blackwood. the Hon. Capt. Spencer, and several other distill guished Military and Naval Officers, were present. Wednesday a brace of partridges lodged in the burying-ground belonging to Mount Street work house. near Park-lane, which was observed by a Gentleman whose windows overlooked the sane, and shot one, but the other escaped.
