Beatunont, Regi,tei—white wand. , i The Anniversary Sermon in behalf of this Na tional Institution was preached by the Lord Bishop of Gloucester. His Lordship took his text from the flOth Psalm, verse 6—" Let every thing that bath breath praise the Lord. He commenced by observ ing that the Psalmist had taken every opportunity of extolling the providence of the Creator. In the fervour of his mind he had called upon every class of the animal world to join in the praise of him to whcm they owed their existence ; that part of the creation which, though vocal, was irra.ional, could praise him only by fulfilling the purposes tit its exist ence ; they were incapable of expressing an articu late idea; but the praise to be rendered ,by man, the highest class of animals, consisted in the exertion of those divine faculties, which Heaven had implanted in his soul for the happiness of himself, and the be nefit of his Hlow-creatures. His Lordship entered into a very learned and philosophical enquiry as to the nature of organic life, throughout the regions of air, earth, and water ; remarking, that in every thing that partook of the animating principle, there were certain component parts on which depended the right economy of the vital system. Refleilions upon this doArine, by learned and ingenious men, had been attended with discoveries of the utmost im portance to mankind in general: in our own times the principle by which organic aaion was stimu lated, had been developed in a manner which tended to exalt our ideas of the Author of it The disco veries of science fully justified that apostrophe of the Psalmist, " Fearfully and wondettully are we made !" and proved the assertion of the Greek sage, who, on seeing a human skeleton, exclaimed, that it could he no other than the work of a divine hand. The Author of our being had dispensed the vital principle, more or less, through every part of the animal frame, and as the means of the continuance of that vitality, had so ordained that the atmosphere should correspond to the nature of the being whose existence it supported ; therefore it was, that a change of the atmosphere, adapted to the existe ice of every animal, produced a temporary alteration with regard to its irritability. The facility with which respiration was produced by the atmosphere we breathe, was one of the most striking instances of the goodness of divine Providence ; the operation of that atmosphere enabled man; without any effort, to exert the faculties with which he was endued. Were it so ordered that the exercise of his organs depended upon himself; he might not feel an inclina tion for those exertions which were necessary for the execution of the several works of industrious busi ness; hut, by the gracious will of his Creator, he was relieved from all soliCtude with regard to ani mal motion, and was consequently left at liberty to direff his faculties to other objeacts., His Lordship having much at large commented upon the various circumstances connected with corporeal existence, adverted to those which had a reference to mental preservation. He observed, there was in the mind of every human being, from the hour of his birth, a pre-disposition to the prolongation of life ; we were born with a pre-disposition to Jove life ; on this love of life was founded the origin -of those necessary arts by which it was preserved. It was this princi ple which taught us to provide for our sustenance, and seek raiment and shelter to protect us from the inclemency of the seasons; it was this principle by which we were urged to obtain those objects by the sweat of our brows, the labour of our hands, or the more a4live exertions of the mind ; influenced by this principle, mankind were urged to risk the dangers of the watery element for the purposes of com merce and tfansportation ; millions had conse quently perished, and among them, many had been abandoned to death when, perhaps, they were only apparently dead and their case was merely a sus pension of the animal powers. The pre-disposition to desire life, impelled us, whenever it was in dan ger, to have recourse to the means of preserving it; thus, on the bed of sickness, hope never left the dying patient while any means of relief presented themselves ; and thus men, in the overwhelming flood, eagerly laid hold of whatever came near them in order to save themselves ; frequently it had happened, that he who would have saved a drown ing man, had been draw!' down b) the person he would have preserved; from the same pre-disposi tion to love existence, proceeded our abhorrence at scenes of death, and tae sight of a deceased person was an object which excited painful feelings; and if considerations of friendship or consanguinity, or the idea . of what might be our own fate, mixed with those feelings, they were highly aggravated. How much, therefore, was it the duty of eery man, by the exertion of his powers, to save that lite in others which he was so anxious to preserve in himseif. How powerfully was he appealed to to reflcl, when contemplating a person apparently dead, that probably there were remains of life, which, by proper applications, might be aroused into action. That such was often the case, the re cords of this society sufficiently proved. 'fne goodness of Heaven, in communicating life to man, had been further manifested, by implant in in his mind the love of arts and sciences. That principle was not only the source of ingenious and amusing speculation, but it had proved of the highest benefit to mankind in general. In other ages, manufadures, commerce, and navigation had been carried to the highest pitch ; but it had been reserved for the present age to conceive, promote, and improve a system, which had for its object, the recovering of that animal motion, which, through external causes, had been interrupted. Various were the causes by which organic am iability, the genial warmth of life, and - the, principle necessary to vitality, might undergo a temporary suspension, but in many cases the life was apparently destroyed ; there was an insipient tendency to animation ; this Society considered it self merely an instrument in the hands of Gdd to mit those fatidties with which man was endued, . iiw adituidstring relief to these whe **re ITV reittlr the victims •of death..lt. considered that, however inanim a t e an d however ghastly might be the appearance of the objea in whom the principle of life shamed destroyed, that probably the hour of death was not come ; that what was inert, migin be exerted into action ; that what was refrigerated, might become warm. With what success their ef forts had been attended, there needed no other proof and testimony than those, who, by its means, had been saved from premature death. His Lordship addressed himself pointedly to about forth or fifty persons who were in the body of the church, and who had been indebted to the Society for their lives, and thus proceeded : " How beneficial have been the exertions of this Society ; speak, you, who best can tell ; you who were in a state of torpid insen sibility ; who had become as though you were dead; say, what were your feelings when waking, as if from a trance, you again perceived the light of Heaver., and beheld the friends who were most dear to you ; do you express what were your emo tions when• you found yourselves after death re- I I stored to animation and new life; did not your hearts burn with gratitude for the beneficence of this So- ciety ? doubtless you rendered to men that praise which was due to them ; but doubtless you first raised your souls to Almighty God, who had endued man with such infinite powers for your preservation. Unless the Lord had raised you up such friends, and had given to the human species such faculties and dispositions to exert them, you who are now . rejoicing in life and health must have gone to a pre matufe grave ; perhaps, too, at an hour when you were unprepared ; how thankful then ought you to be for the mercy of Him, who, by preserving your lives, through the means of this Society, has enabled you to prolong the work of holiness and redemption." This apostrophe drew tears from the eyes of those to whom it was addressed. Some were so affeeted they were obliged to be taken out of the church. His Lordship intreated the congregation to pray for the success of the Society. He desired them to re coiled, that in the course of those manifold events to which mankind were subject, it might come to pass that those who had /Alert° enjoyed life might labour under the temporary suspension of it, when no effectual relief was at hand, but that which the Society afforded. Every husband, father, son, or brother, in fad every relation in social life, were al ternately effected by the casualties which threatened to deprive them of persons who were dear to them. The subject therefore came home no every one's bosom. It was consequently the interest of ourselves, and those we valued, that we should en courage this Society; but there was another consi deration more generous in its nature : the wealth and prosperity of the country depended upon its commerce and industry ; thousands must be em ployed in exploring the bowels of the earth ; thou sands must be employed in the progress of unwhole some arts and manufactures in close cities ; and thousands must be employed in braving the dangers of the deep ; all those were liable to the accidents which it was the object of this Society to counter act; and, ther..l,re, upon this ground, christian charity, personal interest, and the love of our coun try, called upon us to support such •an institution as this was • with such a spirit was this Society actuated, that alt hough it direded its first and most anxious care to the country which supported it, yet it did not stop there ; it turned its attention to other climes, and the inhabitants of distant lands had cause to bless it. Other benevolent charities had for their objects to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and re lieve the sick ; but the charity of this Society was directed to the immediate preservation of life itself. The object of the Society was to glorify God by cherishing that gift which was the first of all—the gift of life. Among all the ads, said his Lordship which could testify benevolence, or show our grati, tude to Heaven for that life he had bestowed on us, there was none that could be more grateful to the Author of it, than to prove the sense we entertained of that inestimable gift, by cherishing it in others, and using our utmost efforts for its preservation. His Lordship concluded his most eloquent discourse by an appeal to his auditors to support, to the utmost of their means, this truly glorious, valuable, and phi lanthropic institution. The church was so extremely crouded that hun dreds were excluded from admission. We observed several Noble Lords and Members of the House of Commons : among the former were the Earls Stam ford and Warrington among the latter, Mr. Al derman Combo, Mr. Fonblanque, &c. &c. We know not what the subscription was, but we have no doubt it did honour to those whose liberality had been appealed to by the impressive exhortation of the Right Reverend Bishop. ws- • • _,31 General DALRYMPLE and Mrs. SMITH are among the last arrivals at Brighton.

The Bath Harmonic Society gave, last week, a splendid fete at Sidney Gardens. Part of the gar den was converted into an orangery, where the branches were loaded with a profusion of the most delicious fruit. In a deep recess appeared a Bardic Minstrel in Druidical robes, with a triple harp in his hand, which was tuned to the melodies of ancient days. At one o'clock the bands were distributed to the ball-room and different parts of the gardens, for the accommodation of such as chose to dance. At two a bugle horn announced the opening of the orangeci..ancl the dtpat of ices, jellies, and other .refre e haacass, which were dispensed with great abun dance.

Exchequer, the '2sth of March, 1803. OLD BAILEY'. SATURDAY, APRIL 23, John AP Kay, Henry Foss, and Peter Catefrotii, were capitally indicted for forging a five-pound note of the British Linen Company of Edinburgh ; and M , Kay was indicted for uttering the same, knowing it to be forged. It appeared from the evi dence, that thee; men had entered into a combina tion of the most nefarious kind, of forging in Lon don the notes of a respectable Scotch Bank, some of which were endeavoured to be.passed in London, while others, by far the greater part, were to be cir culated in Scotland. It also appeared, that Catapodi furnished the plate, .Foss procured a seal for giving the paper a stamp, similar to that on the genuine notes, while M'Kay filled up with a pen the names of the Cashier and Accomptant of the British Linen Company. One of the notes was passed by Isl‘liay at the Cock and Lion public-house, East Smithfield, to a Mr. Newell, who gave him change for it. Se veral Gentlemen attended from the British Linen Company, and proved that the notes produced were spurious, and that the names adhibited to them were tOrgeries. An attempt was made to pass another note in the following manner : the landlord of the St. Andrew public-house stated, that a man named Piper came to him on the .sth December last, and wished thv landlord to lend him 41. on a 51. note of the British Linen Company. The landlord, upon looking at the note, discovered it to be a bad one, restored it to Piper, and cautioned him not to offer it again. He swore to the note shewn in Court as the same, from a drop of grease which was in the middle of it. M'Kay and • Piper left London to• ther in a vessel for Dundee, in Scotland, but infor matiop having been given by Mr. Newell, who had been Wpm,' upon by one of the motes, to die Agent 7' a: i •1 A& I t $
