SMITH read a statement of a great number of shipwrecks on the .eibiz Of Penzance, within the lost 12 mouths, and in which no less•than three thousand seamen were wrecked. One of the vessels only left the port of tendon last week. In con clusion. the Rev.

(Cheers, and thee of bravo.) The Rey. Mr. Itlemes moved eat second Resolution, in doing which he observed, .bat after 13 years constant intercourse wild sailors, it was natural foe him to carry about with him very wow feelings towards them, and all that concerned them. The hind et God lad been set on the Bethel Union in a most peculiar manner, but still there remained much to be done, and he hoped the meet. int would net mks their endeavours to continue to extend the use. fuJness of the institution. He was sorry to tine: there was such ea apathy among mime persons with regard to this Society' ; that such was the case wan et 'dent from the present state of its fund.; for surely if env real feeling existed in its behalf, members oral' deno minumis of Christians would come forward and retrieve its re sources. 800 however, since he had come to town he had been sorpriaot to find there was much acepticisra prevailing aa to the extent of the degradation and morel deformity of seamen. He had hentashed • tether the Terrteeentatnins which had been made were not highly coloured and exaggerated. Ile had been this day told that many famed that flue statement respecting the want of moral feeling among she seamen bad ken overurained. Ile had had thirteen yew' experience with those men; he had a character to support as a man. a gentleman, and a minister ; and he now would soy to any man that would come forward in the face of the world and express lan disbelief in those representations that had been made, he would tell that person., thst let all the accounts that had been given of thespiritual wants and degradation of the tailors be put alto. gether, that still so far from its being highly coloured. that not area mohair had ever been told, nor could one-half be ever told ; fur there was too much belonging to the character of an unenlightened sealer ere, to bear to be committed to print. Well did he remember when such oaths were so common on the seamen's lips, that no conscientious man could let those impressions come over his lips, even when speaking of the tie. madation of a seaman. W nere Chtistgleity was not reached there the same horrid things were 'till utterW, and the same holy name profaned. But it might be ph wird uan excuse for the apathy of toe religious world that they were unacquainted with these things. Well, be it so; but it wan theirduty to learn these things. (Cheers.) This they might do by taking in the Sailors' Mogoziee, a little blue-jaeketted monthly visiter, that come only sixpence. They could learn from that little book marks of the consequences of the interfereme of Providence that would compel them to become the trionds of the seaman. He wu happy in having the opportunity to cane torrent to give his humble testimony in contradtction to the str•Ol,ul upHoor entertained as to the representation of the de -1 twfrel mote of the unconverted seaman, and to the profanation and cenuotieseas belonging to that character before he was made a ,sellout. The Item. 31r. LLOYD seconded the Resolution. As there egos a set time appointed by the Almighty for everything under 'leaven, so it appeared that this was the set time favourable fur lirlttth len3len. .rots nation owed the seaman much, both in • tivil and commercial point of view. The Almighty would remove all apathy and suspicion. Tins Rev. Dr. Alouittsort said. the necessity of this society, and its utility, had been so fully set forth, that any further remarks from Mtn on those points were uecalltsl fur. In China there were from two to three thousand seamen who understood the English language ; of thootabout two hundred died annually. There was there a Bethel flag; but, alas! there was nos preacher. It was well known his pursuits were of a diferent kind, but while.at Can- too he hoisted the flag to prove the practicability of the measure. Ile wrote to America and to this country, retpiesting that person, should he sent forth . to preach to the par seamen there ; but from that day to this, neither Ainslie& nor Great Britain had done any thing. Personal service was much wanted. Ile did not mean to insinuate that other modes of promoting Christianity were of trifling import ance, but lie did mean to assert that personal service was more wanted than any other. especially as regarded this Institution. He regretted to Lear of sailors preaching to landsmen : he would have them devote themselves to the inattuccton of their fellow-seamen, sod in this way the Bethel flag would be again raised in China. Low zealously, and at the same time how humbly and devotedly, ought they to engage in these efforut t• and wherever they did this. he believed it had never been rowel that the Most High had with held his blessing. (Applause ) The Rev. Mr. Evaxsog accondcd the Resolution, and in doing so expressed his great obligations as a member of the Established Church to his Dissenting Brethren, for the example they had pet them in instituting this Society. He would give them every credit for it, and would combine in promoting their object without re'er ence to mere form. It was gratifying to perceive that these ex amples had been followed by the nirinben, of the Church of Eng. land. lie wished all denominations of Christians would unite in furthering so laudable as Institution. The Rev. Mr. SMITH now introduced a lad on the platform, who had made a piece of mechanism, representing a sailor on (leek, with a flag ill one hand, and the other resting on en anchor with his bat in it. By dropping a shilling into the hat, it made the figure give a moat graceful bow. Upwards of 111. had been collected in this way by the boy, for the benefit of the Society. The Noble Cuatnasew expressed his thanks to the lad, and hoped it might phase God to prosper him, and inspire hint with an inclination to pursue the saute zealous efforts in so pious a work. (The boy bowed, and was cheered by the meeting aa he lett the 11/0110 to station his ... grateful Jack" to receive the coutributious of the company. 1 The tier. Dc. lltonntsnx, from St. Petersburgh moved the next resolution. They had heard of shipwrecks of the body, but what w. re such sufferings compared with those of s dying sailor labouring under feelings of divine wrath ? flow was it possible for any in that aseetnbly to withhold term this society those means whereby this man might be sand ? Ile rejoiced In having seen many instances of the benefits of this Society. During the two last yews he spent in Russia, he never addressed a more attentive congregation titan those whom he pteaehed to, who were connected with ti.e Va. lie most cordially seconded the resolution. The Rev. Mr. SMITH said there were steersl ravel officers who bad aided the Bethel Union Society, and whoni be should like to hear tell their own stories. Capt. St xtrvist came forward, and lo a subdued tone of voice said he was the first to introduce prayer meetings on the River Thames ; but he would not detain the meeting with a detail of the particulars, as they might sees full account of them in the Sailor,' Alogarier. The Rev. Dr. llooTienoTn seconded the Resolution moved by Dr. Henderson; in doing which he observed, an impression had gone abroad that sailors were so ignorant and so depraved that it .was in vain to preach to them; but the facts they had heard this night were enough to refute such an impression. The Gospel was sufficient ler the chief of sinners. The celebrated Captain Josse had formerly been a Captain of a collier, an d being converted by a minister who preached at the port where ale was, the Captain be. came a preacher I.iniself in Whidield's connexion, to the blessing of th-iusands. This was an instance among many more of the effi cacy of the Gospel when preathed to seafaring men. Though lie. tog at a distance, the Rev. Doctor promised to render all the sup port he coeld to promote the object of the Bethel Union Society. The Rey. Mr. Dt;ss moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Committee and Secretaries. It would be presumption in him to anticipate to interest an audience like the present, surrounded as he was by so much talent and piety, especially at that late hour in the ewendig; but still it was difficult to restrain the feelings of a grate ful heart from expressing themselves. The Bev. Gentleman then spoke in high terms of the good revs of the institution, and ex pressed his heartfelt wishes for its prosperity. Mr. °collets BAILMY (who was announced to the meeting as a builder of wooden Gods—namely, a ship-builder, at Ipswich) se conded the resolution, which was tarried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. Smith returned thanks. . . . . Several other resolutions were then put and carried, and a hymn having been sung, the meeting separated at ten o'clock. A handsome collection was made at the door in support of the funds of the institution. EAST LONDON AUXILIARY BRITISH AND FORLIGV BIBLE SOCIETY. On Wednesday evening a meeting of the members of this So ciety took place at the Court House, Osborne-street, Whttechapel, for the purpose of receiving the annual Report of the Committee, bet in consequence of the very inclement stew of the weather it was not so numerously attended as had been anticipated. About six o'clock the Chair was taken by Jou x BuaxxLL, Esq. a Magistrate of the county. The Report was read to the meeting. It appeared that since the last general meeting 400 Bibles and 100 Testaments had been re ceived from the parent Society, making a total receipt of 7,363 Bibles and 3,238 Testament*. Of these 344 Bibles and 112 Testa ments had been distributed since the last meeting, making in the whole 7,175 Bibles and 3,106 Testaments, issued from the deposi tory of the Society to associations. subscribers, and for gratuitous distribution. The nrnount of annual subscribtions and donations received daring the year was 7 1 1. 25.; from associations 1641. ls. 5d.; and for Bibles and Testaments soli to subscribers at first cost and reduced prices 30/. 9n. Bd. The whole receipts for the year were 2651. 12s. 10d. The sum of 2001. had been paid to the parent Socie.y, and there remained in the hands of the treasurer a balance of 941. Dis. The Report was received by the meeting with the warmest marks of approbation. Mr. CHARLES DUDLEY, travelling secretary to the Society, congratulated the meeting upon the increased circulation which they • • had been enabled to give to the sacred volume. Previous to the year 1812, 430,000 copies had been distributed, but by a reference to the reports it now appeared that they had distributed upwards oil) millions of copies, which, if spread out, would cover a space of 781 miles In 1812 the Scriptures were printed In 19 languages only, but now they were to be found in 142 languages. In 1800 years after the birth of Christ the Bible had not been published in more than 40 languages. but in the few years which followed its circulation had been wonderfully extended, chiefly by the working of the divine spirit, and he now called upon the meeting as Christians and Briton,. not to relax in their efforts, for much still remained to be done. 'lnc Secretary then adverted to the assistance they had received in foreign countries from members of religious persuasions which had been inimical to a spread of the divine knowledge. In South America one of their agents. Mr. Thompson, had visited Chili. and the first customer he then encountered was a friar, who purchased 24 copies of the Scripture.; for himself and brethren, but I they had now a society established, the secretary to which had for ' merly been a secretary to the Inquisition ; and in France there were now several Bible Societies, but in former times a bible had been tied to an angel tail, and burned in • public square at Orleans.— Societies had also been established in Botany Bay, and a vast num- ' ber of bibles had been there distributed, and he had been informed by *friend that English convicts had -been seen holding up their • bibles in the streets of Sidney, saying " if we had been taught this at home we should never have been here." The speaker sat down exhorting the meeting to a perseverance in the good work in which they had engaged. The Rev. W. Newman, Rev. 31. Rain (a missionary to SibcrL') Rev. Mr. Fletcher, Rev. Mr. Stocks, Rev. Mr. Castleton, Mr. Cooke, Mr. Henry Knight, and Mr. Freeman, severally addressed the Meeting. In the course of the evening thanks were voted to the Duke of Sussex (Patron of the Society) to the Marquis of Hastings, for the assistance he bed 'Forded them in India. and to the Committee. The Rev. Mr. Fletcher, of Mile-end, moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Chairman, which he ptefaced with a neat and wept mentative speech, expressive of the gratitude due to that gentle man for the readiness with which lie had granted the use of the • present place of meeting, and for the pecuniary and other assistance he had always renlered them. Mr. Butt KELL returned Omuta, and said he should feel it a de reliction n( his ditty if he were not to lend them the assistance both t of his Intlitenee and his pocket. The Meeting (comprising many respectable females) then dispense. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT At PORTPATEICI —We have been informed by the guard of the Galloway mail, that on Thursday, the 13th inst. between five and six o'clock in the evening, a bullock-boat, having on board eight men, one woman, and a child, besides a number of cattle, which was on its passage from Donaghadee to Portpatrick, went suddenly down when within a mile and a half of the latter I place, and carried to the bottom every creature within her. As abc thus vanished like the " baseless fabric of a vision," without leaving a single " wreck behind," nothing as yet has been learnt of her name or that of her owntr, or in what manner the accident occurred. The sea was quite calm, and the weather favourable; and, under these cir cumstances, conjecture has yet been able to assume no other plausible cause of the misfortune than that some of cattle, as the bullock boats arc frequently in a crazed and rotten state, may have thrust a foot through the bottom of the vessel, or a horn through her side, and thus occasioned the water to rush in too suddenly and irresistibly to be pre vented.—Thinifi Cot. i'•r. At Edinburgh a magistrate lately fined a man 201., or in default of payment to be imprisoned for six mont hs, for assisting a soldier of the regiment quartered in the Castle to desert. The penalty imposed teas in compliance with the terms of 41:e Mt:tiny Act, which admitsof no mitigation in such rms. BR: PRESS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECONIPOCTOBER MEETING.

A much fuller company might have born expected from the grit number of matches and the prornis;ng appearance of the bill of fare for- the week, but the uncertain state of the weather has kept many of the custninany visiters away.

IFRON MYR CORMESPOIMENT.I It appears that our highly-respected townsman, Mr. Bolton, has had the offer of a Baronetcy. The off, r was conveyed to him, in terms the most handsome and flatter ing, by his Majesty's Premier, the Right Hon. the Earl of Liverpool, and the Foreign Secretary, the Right Hon. George Canning. That such a proposition should have been made does not in the least surprise us ; on the con trary, we know not a gentleman more deserving of the honourable notice of a discriminating and enlightened Co vernment than Mr. Bolton. It will be recollected that Mr. Bolton, at a period of public alarm, in consequence of Bo naparte's threatened invasion of England, stepped forward, and, at his own individual expense, raised a fine body of men, denominaterl the Royal Liverpool Volunteers, who, in discipline and appointment, were a credit and an honour not only to the town, but to the country. He has uniformly, on all occasions, warmly supported such public measurer as he conceived were best calculated to promote the time interests of the state ; and disregarding mioor considerations and expense, bas constantly manifested a steady adherence to sound constitutional principles. 'f he example and influence of such men as M►. Bolton, in the elevated rank of society in which they move, are highly to be valued ; and the Government have shown their judg ment in proposing the intended honour ; an honour which is not the less valuable, although Mr, Bolton has, in the exercise or his goal taste, thought properly respectfullx to decline it. The Westmorland Gazette, in adverting to this subject, has the following statement : " It is confidently asserted, that a Right Honourable Secre tary, on his late Visit in this neighbourhood, in the most hand. some terms informed his liberal host, that he had it in com mand from his Majesty the King, to make hint an offer of a Baronetcy, as an acknowledgment of Colonel B----'s public spirit, and his uniform zealous attachment to, and steady sup. port of, the Government of the country; but that Color. in the most dignified manner, immediately and unequivocally declined to avail himself of his Majesty's most gracious and batter ing condeecension ; requesting, at the same time, that his Right Honourable Fr;end would not fail to assure his Majesty that the Sovereign's approbation of his conduct was the highest reward he wished for, and even more than he had hoped to receive for the Were performance of those duties which every good and loyal sub ject' ewes to his King and country." 'TO THE EDITOR OF THE I3IIITISH PRESS _ _ Sta,—l quite agree in the justice of your remarks on the Bethel Union Companies, and am very glad to find 4 subject brought so fully before the public, as I have often thought it had long wanted it. 1 very willingly, too, give you the praise of mixing a full share of candour with your severity: but at the same time you must pardon me if I cannot approve of your putting the speech, which you give 1y anticipation, as coming from one of the Bethel Assem bly of to-morrow, in the mouth of a preacher of the Wes- Pyan Methodist connexion. There are a number of very good men, to my knowledge, belonging to this sect, who labour very earnestly, and with great success, in the cause of morality and religion, and I am sure it is hot your wish to weaken the effect of their labours in a good cause, by confounding them with the ignorant enthusiasts, of which the societies you so severely expo'e chiefly consist. I trust to your impartiality for the insertion of this, and am, 8:r, Youts,&c._ A LOVER OF JUSTICE. ° o w Our Correspondent must pardon , us if we cannot exactly assist the fellow-labourer in the Bethel vineyard. We should ill deserve the praise of candour which he is pleased to assign to us, if we did not admit that there are worthy men of all sects and of every communion. Many spiritual physicians, of sound zeal and sincere piety, are, no doubt, to be found among the 2lfethodists, both Arme nian and Calvinistic, and we honestly believe that num bers of hoth classes adorn the faith they profess. But if the Bethel water-ductors belong—or claim to belong—to the same college, it is not our province to classify them. The Wesleyans must themselves cut the connexion—Me have no rneans of doing it.—En. Pa. Pa. Cosemaactat. FEOSPEEITY.—On Wednesday there was not a single meeting of any description at the Court of Commissioners of Bankrupts. MIDDLESEX SESSION9.—The Grand Jury for the Mid dlesex Quarter Sessions were sworn in on Wednesday, be fore F. Conat, Esq. Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates. After the usual routine business of swearing in parish con stables, &c. the Court adjourned to Monday next, at Clerkenwell. Yesterday the prisoners who stand committed for trial at the ensuing Sessions at the Oid Bailey, were removed from the different prisons to Newgate, preparatory to their trial at the Seas ons, which commence on Thursday next. There are already about 200 prisoners. A short time ago, a boy who works in the coal mines at Bowling, had the misfortune to have one of his toes cut off, by the fall of a large stone. He managed to stop the bleeding, and wrapping up the toe in a bit of brown piper pursued his work till night. He then came down into the town, and with the utmost sang frnid, applied to a sur geon to set it on him again, producing it out of his waist coat pocket, where it had been six or eight hours.— Braekord Chroniefe. Fur several days the parish of St. Clement Danes has been infested with a gang of burglars, and no less than six attempts have been made to break i:.to houses. On Wednesday night a fellow was seen crawling over the tops of several, and at length he attempted to force open the trap-door at the top of the house of Mr. Lamb, pawn-. broker, in Newcastle-street. Assistance from Bow street was immediately brought, and the prisoner was secured. On his person was found a complete set of house-breaking ' implements. De was yesterday examined at Bow-street, and fully committer). AM iftic•s erinsa.—There exists in America an enor mous spider, whose size (the body alone being an inch and a half long), enables it to attack even small birds. M. Moreau de Jonnea has furnished a memoir on its manners, as observed by him at Martinique. It spins no web, but lodges in the crevices of the rocks, and throws itself with main force upon its prey • it kills humming birds, fly birds, and small lizards, ta king care to seize them by the knapc of the neck, knowing that thus they must be killed with the greatest ease. Its strong jaws seem to infuse a poison into the wounds which they inflict ' • fur such wounds are considered much more dangerous than they would be by their depth alone. It envelops itstggs, to the number of from 1,800 to 2,000, in a bale of white silk ; and its fecundity, joined to its tenacity of life, would soon cause the island to be overrun with it, bad it not active and in numerable enemies in the red ants, which destroy the greater part of the young spiders. The increase of buildings and spread of improvement in Brighton continue with unabated and astonishing ardour. In addition to the extensive buildings now in course of erection at the western extremity of the town, it is proposed to erect a number of large houses on the site of the brick ! Held immediately west of Brunswick-terrace. Several of the houses at Itiemp.town are now occupied, and the whole of these extensive works are in active progress.—Brig iron Gazette. A meeting of the working merharries of Brighton was held on Tuesday last, in aid of the Bradford cumbers and wearers. After an ineffectual opposition to the proceedings by a sensible tradesman namedllips, a string of resolu tions was passed, binding the niembtrs of the meeting to enter iato an immediate subscription to enable the Brad ford woolcombers to maintain the contest with their mas ters, and to form as Utdon of all the trades and occupations of the town.

The health of thatord Chief Justice, which is known at this time to be very Delicate, might be rendered worse by sitting in a newbeilding, Which at the present season must be unavoidably damp. It is, therefore, reasonable to stir/v.le that theUsirt. not: only on account of the Judges, but of all wheso attendance is required, will be well aired by stoves, and put in a pros per state before it is occupied. '1 he steps which led at the Exchequer in the Korth-east angle of the hall wets taken down on Monday, and a paeiage opened to this King's Bench Court. The Lord Chancellor's Court, WO Vice-Chancellor a, and the Common Pleat Court, will uii questionably be opened to r ece i ve t h e Judges etn , She first day of Term. Those Courts are now finished. with the exception of painting and varnishing the oak wainscots which in a few days will be completed. From a slight inspection of all the New tonne, , * think the Exchequer is the best. The ground allotted fa dim important seats of Justice left the architect no rto make them sufficiently spacious. The King'e .11; in consequently too small, and will be found less convenient, if possible, for the administration bf JUstier than the Westminster Sessions House. Part of the space has been appropriated to a Bail Court and the aveintes, s circumstance which necessarily makes the King's Bench Court smaller than it otherwise would have bees. - throne the new buildings were commenced there were only three Courts on the same side of the Hall, nirhely the EXche quer, the Common Pleas, and Chancery. New there by five, as Conete have been added for the View Chancellor and King's Bt-nch Bail. The High Court of Chancery, the most ancient and dignified it stitdton of the country, is worthy a handsome. commodious, pubic building. Tirli King's Bench and Cemmon Pleas arc tribunals which have stood for ages. They are of the h'ghest importarOe to the subjects of tl is realm, and the edi ice- where the hit is administered under the jurisdiction of either , Ceittet should not only be convenient, but a public °mintiest. Amidst the many improvements i s the City of West minster, which will hereafter mark the protection .granted to the arts under the mild reign of George t h e Fourth, us expect to ace useful public buildings erected, add mots especially those for the administration of the civil itot) criminal laws of the land.

The plaintiff In this action is the keeper of the well-known hors/ sepointory io Barbican, and an auctioneer ; the defendant, about the time When the circumstances oo which this attics # founded took place, was a stage-master, and mu several coaches on *Millington roads. Mr. Dixon now sought to recover 301., being the balance due on a sale twelve horses, which the defendant, Mr. Price, purchased of him at an auction on the 23d of December, 1823.

This was the plaintiff's case, end Air.

The LARD Curer Juertc4 was inclined to be of opinion with with Mr. Scarlett on the point of law, but thought if there wan day defence the point might be reserved, and the Cale go ea, to present the carries from coming agaib to trial. Mr. SCAILICTT then went on with his defence. He said lbw he was very glad his Lordship had reserved the point for ItUe, though he might perhaps be able to settle the ease very quickly in another way. lie then went on to observe on the very emissive transactions of the plaintiff, of his great acquaintanee with babas, and of the unlikelihood of a men of hie kw/Wedge of melt ODOI manners selling these horses on the credit of Mr. Price, while he was an uncertificated bankrupt. The name of Mr. Awe* had been mentioned. This gentleman, at the time, was a maw . muter, engaged very extensively in business, and having very gem credit; and Air. Dixon might very reasonably have objections I* Mr. Price's responsibility. He could hue tone at all to thole( Mr. Auger ; and he was prepared to show, by Mr. Nash, the agent of Mr. Auger, that the horses were actually sold on his stalks taking to guarantee Mr. Dixon for the price of them. Mr. Nash, the secretary of Mr. Auger, was called, end that a note had been sent, by Mr. Auger to Mr. Dlitoo, oer:: himself to guarantee Mr. Drson to a certain amount. The LORD Cuter JUSTICe briefly summed tap. There was, he said, only one question for the Jury to consider—whether than horses were sold on the credit of the defendant Price, or as ebto credit of another person of the Darn, of Auger? To prove thee they were sold on the credit of Price an answer. en the examinatie* ilf the commission, in which he says he paid 471. be bad borrowed et • friend, and that another friend had . peoentee4 him ai. more, Mr. Nash says that he took o note in writing fsolll Air. Anger to Dixon, desiring him to give credit to the amount of tAL in kis name. In point of law, thete was a great difference between giving your word and giving a note in writing. In the latter case yew err be sued, in the former you canno - . If the horses were sold. knocked down, sail delivered on the credit of Anger, the plaintiff Moat fail. Notice, it appears, had been give* to the plaintiff to Wm. duce the catalogue of the sale, which usually contains the names et the buyers. This catalogue had not been produced. Now, if she name of Auger was put down as the buyer of these horses, times was • good reason wiry it had not been produced, There .iii mo ther point which has been put, which seems to deserve =wider ation.—and that is, that it is highly improbable that Al;. Dinett would sell to en uncertiticated bankrupt. The Jury immediately found a verdict for the defendant. The LORD Cuter JuSTICI (on this verdict being declared) turned to the defendant's Counsel and said, in his good-humswasa way. " this is better for you, Mr. Scatku, than your poise ed law." TIM tile v QAIxIT T. Mr. TISDAT. said that this was an indichritht sigaiebt My, Garnett, for unlawfully refusing to 'errs the °liked constable in the srd of Cripplegate.
