IitELA.ND. ` , cousrr , Crir LOUTIT AUXILIARY At a numerous arm most respectable Meeting of the Ladies and 'Gentlemen of the County of Louth, held at , Castle Deigns:llnm-, for the pur pose of establishing an Auxiliary Bible Society— Lord .I.OC6LTS•I was-called to the Chair ; whets, in a short speech his Lordship stated,—That the ob eject of the Meeting was, to establish it perma nent and usefulliTarrch , ot the Bible Soriety in .his County, similar to - that in operetion in oilier Counties in Irelaird, and auxiliary to the Hiber nian •Bible Society. lie thought it was a mat ter of greet importance to any country, both lite the salie of -Religion itself, as well ns for the mot at inscruct ion of the people, that that book which Divine Providence had given to mankind RI their guide arid their conso laCen, should be . disseminated as largely and as widcly as possible entente all classes of the com munity, that the poor should have equal means ith the rich of ehteiving this invaluable bless ftie ; and that those in the higher classes of so ciety beieg made the cis-,noes thrinigii whom the hook was to be disiribeted to the luster orders, might be intuited themselves to consider its con teets, aed, by their own conenet, to enforce the pree'iral ditties which every page of the sacred voliene so deeply inculcates. For the satisfac tine of this Meeting, he called upon some_of those Gentlemen whom he saw presort, and who belonged to the Parent Society in Dublin, as well es his Right Honourable Friend, the Secre tary for Ireland, to waste what were the *deans.' cages flint had of istn. within their knowledge, from the formation of Bible Societies ; he would then leave it to tale Meeting to, judge whether a Society of this kind seas not likely to be advan tageous amongst themselves, He would only entreat those who nereed with him in the import ante of this object, not to allow the Institution, so peppily formed this day under the sanction and with the concurrence of their respected and Right Reverend Patron, to be frittered awry into a mere lotto or a name, without spirit or without life ; het he trusted no proper means would he left un tried, no exertion woold be wanting, to dissemi nate, amongst all classes of society, that book al truth, whirl) contains the words of eternal lite— which upholds every moral duty upon earth, anti sanctions and confirms every social tie. Mr. MATHIAS, being called on by the Chair, stated, that as Secretary of the Parent Institution, it was his duty to ley before his Lordship and the Meeting such information as would excite an in terest in favour of the Society ; which be did in a luminous And impressive statement at considerable length, He said, that within the space of 15 years, the Society has caused the Scriptures to be translates) into +impinges, circtilved consider ably above 2,30.000 copies of the Word of God, and expeuded on this important work above 700,0001. sterling. The Right Hon. Jonsa FOSTER, after expressing his hearty concurrence in what had been said, approved most highly of the proceedings of the Hibernian Bible Society, and complimented the Rev. Gentleman on his most luminous and in 'fileting statement. The Rev. Dr. SADLER, F. T. C. D. addressed the,Mteting at much length. The Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT said, he toss with much embarrassment, because he felt that, amidst so many persons distinguished by their ree silence in this county, he had no local preteu sions to intrude himself ; but he trusted the as. semis!) , would permit him, on account of the situ• "vio ls be had the honour to hold its Ireland, to claim the privilege of taking an interest in every measure calculated to promote the happine ss o f the Irish People—a peculiar, and, he might al most say, a local interest. From the kindness which he had experienced from them, from a conviction of their noble qualities, he felt an anxiety for their welfare far beyond the cold dic tates of official obligations—and among the mea sures likely to obtain that object, he believed So cieties of this nature to be the most useful and efficacious ; for, it had been well observed, thst, in whatever point of view we regarded this Insti tution, whether we look at it as men anxious for ;he political prosperity of the country, or as men ,interested in the sufferings of our fellow-men, or as ,Christians, it was equally entitled to our approba tion and support. Mr. Giant said, that we knew that Religion must form the basis of all political happiness and social order. This Might be com mott-plece truth—but it was the merit of this In etitution, that it is built not on a subtle theory, but on a plain and palpable truth, a truth sanction ed by the wise and good in all ages, and confirmed In the agonies of conviction by the worst of seen, who had endeavoured to separate national happi ;less from Religion—a truth recorded in those countries who have not renounced their allegiance to God—the hitter and bloody experience of those Nations who have dared to imagine they 'mild maintain political existence while they re pounce their God arid denied their Saviour. Mr. Arrant said, that, as men interested in the suffer ings of their fellow-men, they were no lose cailed upon to support this Institution. If life were a perpetual sunshine, if there were no sorrows but illose of guilt, nor tears but those of hailed envy or disappointed ambition, it might perhaps be possible to treat this subject with indifference—he said, perhaps, becausecven then he thought that there were contemplations, and hopes, and aspire lugs of thoughts, which no man who could feel the dignity of his nature, and appreciate the capa city of his intellect, would wish to tear from life, even though it closed for ever in the grave that re ceived his mortal frame. said Mr. Grant, we know that life, however chequered by occasions) gleams of sunshine, is bounded at each extreme by a dark abyss ; we know that there are sorrows which no human consolation can relieve, and that there ere griefs which, however distinguished by the splendour of wealth and prosperity, bleesi and weep in secret in the agonized heart ; we know that there are losses and piivations which blot out all the delight and fascination of existence. We know those sad realities: we know them from the lot of our fellow-creattoes—of those whom We love, and whom we desire so assist anti protect. And what other consolations can. we sepply but r4ose of a divine origin ; what other refuge than ii,e t3 - I , ..:ccies o. a; cing., who has c:4.*.eceatei the offices of co:7:'f)assioa by his example. Mr. Greta c!:s.'.n - i - z-et, that, as Christian', we be l:c-Trl diet sbl Sacred Volume contained the Cht,,rcr of o:tr zialvation—that in the contents of the Voinme set.re, involved the immortal destinies of out tellow•heings. From this belief, Mr. G. said, he could not separate the obligation to dif fuse that Volume. In other eves, if we 'possessed the ontithoes nr the remedy for any evil, we made no pilule in offering it. Why then, wirree the ha. zard is the greaten, and the misery tire der:set% and the remedy the most certain, should we heti-, tate and cast our eyes around to discover, it , pote.' sible, some plausible reason to excuse us from styportini: this Institution. Mr. G. them adverted to the objections that had been made to the Iristi t .. tutioes of the Bible Societies in general. The objectious had been most Ably answered by the Rev. Gclidetnatt (Mr. Mathias) who Illade the opening statement.—littt there was one to which Mr. G. wished to 'diode. The llntittitiOn4Vtii ac cused of being incompatible with the safety of the Established Church, fie was no less induced by inclination than by ditty, to be peculiarly sensitive of such accusations. !Veva, not enough for him, therefore, to Accede to the nlCooillre, Inertly be cause, on the first view of it, it seemed not incon sistent with the safety of the chinch ; but it t.- ctlme him, when such a charge was made, to exa mine it even with a religious scropulosity. And having so done in the .nresent .instance, he was persuaded, and he felt himself bound to express the persuasion, that so NT trout endangering the efitoch, no stronger' .defence could be raised for that church : no better security could he devised for it than the diffusion of those Volumes, , on which it wet; built and established. But it was the less necessary, Mr. G. observed, to dwell upon this . accusition in this country, since it was stir iicieatly answered by the fact, that a great portion of the highest Dignitaries in Ireland supported the ii-ibie Society Institution, anti that this So ciety in particular was about to enjoy the patro nage of the eminent person who is so deservedly placed at the head of the Itish Church. Mr. Grant then adverted to the other ojections *Lich had been urged against the Bible Society, and especially to the objection that it united all classes curl deporninatioos 01 Christians. Having dwelt at Annie length on these topics, be described ra pidly the astonishing progress of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and concluded with an ap peal to the feelings of his itudienee in behalf of this honest cause. In alluding to the Ladies, to whom the Resolution he was about to move re ferred, he said he was sure it required no per suasion to interest those among the assembly to %shoos the offices of charity and consolation pecu liarly helongcd, and who seemed then to be niost in their native eleauent employed in the tenderest and most compassionate of duties, in behalf of a Society %Olose sole object it was to relieve the sorrows and sufferings of human nature. Mr. STeVEN, in an able statement, skewed the happy results' that had arisen from the Ladies taking a part in these Societies. He enumerated many interesting anecdotes, and concluded with an appeal to the Meeting on the subject. Mr. J. L. Forrett also addressed the Meeting, T it ill • LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OP CHANCTRY.—The following natio', has beeu given relative to the future Sittings of th e Court :—" The Lord Chancellor will hold his first Seal before Term, on Monday, Nov. 1, in Lincoln's Jnn Hull. The second Seal will be on the Wednesday 1 - 014 - Ting, as Term commences on the 6th of November.—The Vice-Chancellor will commence his Sittings at his Court in Lin coln's Inn, on INlOnday, the Ist of November." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Ocr. tC. William Turner was tried for a nuisance iu stopping up a foot-path in a field named the Race Field, in Kentish Town, near the road leading to Highgate Tunnel. A number of nut! persons proved that the path in question had been open for upwards of 30 years past. The defence was, that it bad been a trespass ' path, but the Jury found the defendant guilty of the nuisance, and the path will consequently be opened. Richard James, a labourer, was found Guilty eif keeping a most disgusting brothel, in Letv 7 toner's-lane, in the parish of St. ales's. The de• tails were nauseous. It appeared chat the hous,e in question was frequented by the lowest prosti• tutee and thieves. The viefendent was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Cor rection. The prosecution was preferred by the parish Officers. Edward Brown cram found Guilty of assaulting John Jones, the servant of Mr. Willis, who keeps the Thatched - House Tavern in St. James -street. It appearel that Mr. Willis is the proprietor of certain inclosed land et Fulham, upon which the defendant lied trespassed by opening the fence and turning his horse in to graze. The defendant., and others, had a belief that they were entitled by Custom to turn their cattle upon the ground in question. Jones, by order of Mr. Willis. took the defendant's horse to convey it to the pound ; ti►e defendant met him with the horse, a,nd corn. menced a violent attack. The sentence was, that be be imprisoned two months in the House of Correction. The Court considered it necessary Lo make an example of the defendant, to convince many persons at Foillaftl that they were not to trespass with impunity.

They are County Sessions, and held litre by adjournment. In this county the Sessions are not held at one place, as is usual in most others; but on account ot the quantity of business, and the extent of the jurisdiction, are held - at four towns. They commence at Lan caster, and are then adjourned to Preston and Manchester successively, and ~end at Liverpool. They usually occupy about a month. The sitting at Manchester is generally about eleven or twelve days, and is a most laborious one. It comprises the business of the hundred of Salford, in which are situated the populous towns of Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Ashton, Hea ton, Norris, &c. Air.

In his charge to the Grand Jury, !he Chairman principally observed upon several important Acts passed in the last Session. He did not take the least notice of late events, or the present state of this county, except by merely stating, that an ap plication to the Bench li3d been made by several moat respectable inhabitants of some of the out townships to have the Watch and Ward Act en rorced in them. He thought it was necessary to urge the propriety of those townships putting this Act in force, but penhaps the measure could not be too strongly recommended at the present time. He was happy to observe, that the number of felons was much less than usual, and hoped this was not merely accidental. The business of this morning has been confined to Appeals, end there lies been nothiseg of any public interest. The number of felon prisoners in the Calendar is 151 ; of those for misdemean ours, 107.

One of the tall trees within the palisndo that encircles the jet (Pfau, was broken off about 20 feet from the ground; another very large tree in the area in the front of the garden, suffered a like disaster.— This latter was an old favourite of the Benchers, who bestowed upon it peculiar care. Some few years ago it was forced by a storra from its per penteleular, and to secure it a strong p 0.41 Wil3 pieced upon a plinth, on which it leaned as on a crusub ; but on Thursday night its unthragtotis heed, which has long sheltered the watch-box beneath, was carried away. Both these accidents were chiefly occasioned by the immense weight of congealed snow accumulated on th.e branches.
