HENRY CALVELEY CoTroN, Esq. in the Chair; It was Resolved, Ihni e. t of fr; tiny . frete sfloptitiv . if they Are parable Pf tefiection, it may, however, he more reason ,tiLbly inferred, that they only reflected upon the da'nger to which they might expose themselves An their attempts to endanger the Country. As to "the Periodical Scribblers, who live by vending Weekly sheets of -Scurrility, Sedition, and Rebel lion, as they court prosecution, in hopes of giv ing an increased circulation to their . poisonous Pages, it is hJrclly to be expected that they will be restrained by the fear of Law o because they have no other source of subsistence, titan by the sale of factious declamation. We hope, however, that A strict watch will be kept over them, as oratorical effusions are beald and for gotten, but the venomous productions of the Jacobin Presses are read in all the common Pot -houses, disseminating more extensive fake hood and corruption ; and even those factious eribblers may be induced to put some restric tions on their pens, when they have reason to fear that they may be mended by the hand of Law.

AVAITHMAN HUNT, at the late Common Hall, has the follow- ing paragraph : " We congratulate the LORD MAYOR of Lon don on his having been so censured, and by such men. No wonder that Mr. HUNT thought his conduct " officious " on the day of the meeting'of the Mob at Sm thtield—to that officiousness is to be ascribed the preservation of the greatest and th e wealthiest city in the universe. We never• of this Mr. HUNT, and his brazen and bois terous sedition, that we are not almost inclined to wi s h for• the restora►ion of a custom which was once prevalent. In the Old German 'Empire it was a practice to condemn such persons as en deavonred to sow sedition and di,rurb the public tranquillity, to become the objects of pulslic no toriety and derision, by carrying a dog upon their shoulders, from one Cl at town to another. 'rite Emperor OTtio, and FRRDERIC BARRAUOSSA in flicted this nunishmeur on Noblemen of the highest rank.. Instead of a doe, we would suggest that ITHMAN be mounted upon HUNT'S shoulders, and the offender• obliged to carry his burthen from London to Stockport—the salutary effect of which process would be soon apparent, or we are much mistaken."

RESTER, t81;'). lEDITOR D t.sirotis to give every assist ance in my power to the different Societies esta blished in this Country, for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, I submit to the Public., through the medium of your Paper, (with great propriety denominated Clerical) a Copy of an Address, about to he circulated in this City on the subject, recommending, with all due defer ence to the Clergy of the kingdom, to have a nne priuttal and distributed in their re spective Parishes. 1 am, with much respect, Sir, Your faithful and obedient Servant, H,ARWOOD FOLLIOTP. AN ADDRESS — TS -7 PHE PUBLIC, In 'Wolf of the Collection to be made in all the Parishes in England and Wales, for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, acting in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, in con .sequence of a representation made to him by the Most Reverened the Archbishops, and the Right Reverend the Bishops, Members of the Society for the Propagating of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, having been graciously pleased to grant his Royal Letters to the Lords Archbishops of the Kingdom for a general Collection of Charity throughout England and %Vales, for the good uses of the said Society—the following statement of the past services, and future intentions of the So ciety, is therefore submitted to the consideration of the Public. The Society owes its origin to the benevolent exertions of some distinguished individuals in Church and State in the year 1699, who formed themselves into a Society for promoting the inte rests of Religion,—ln the year 1701 a Charter was obtained from King William 111. by which it was incorporated under the title of " the So ciety for the Propagation of the Gospel in Fo reign Parts,•• for the propagation and support of Religion in the Colonies beyond the seas belong, ing to the kingdom of Great Britain. The first efforts of the Society were directed to the American Colonies, 'to which it was then cus tomary to transport criminals from this country, — at the time the Society commenced its exertions that country was in the most deplorable state with regard both to the - means of religious in struction and religious worship, there being in that immense tract of country, containing a po pulation of upwards 185,0'0 persons, only five Churches, and scarcely any other places of rdi gious worship.—" It appear , ," says Bishop Tom line in his Sermon before the Society, " from in controvertible evidence, that in severallaree Pro vinces scarcely any congregations assembled for the performance of Divine Service ; the Sacrament of Baptism had not been administered for t wen , y years ; and that of the Lord's Supper for a touch longer period." _ _ Such then was the state of the American Co lonic!, when the Society first commenced its ex ertions in that quarter. In 1728, the Society bad made such exertions, that in some Colonies the Church of England had been by law e,tablished ; above six►y Churches had been built ; many religious hooks and trac:ii had been circia4ted ; and schools opened for the instruction of the Natives in the Christian Faith. to 1741, less than forty years after the esta blishment of the Society, we find, from the ae. *taint given by Archbishop Seeker in his Sermon before the Society, that with an income vtry disproportionate to the vastness of the undertak ing, near an hundred Churches had been built ; above ten thousand Bibles and Prayer-books had been distributed ; great numbers of Indians and Negroes had been brought over to the Christian Faith, and seventy persons were employed abroad in the service of the Society." In the year 1 . 771, one hundred and twenty-three Missionaries were employed in the American Co lonies in the service of the Society ; which num ber was, however, greatly diminished atter the de claration of Independence by the United States, by the Missionaries being withdrawn from those territories; the labnurs of the Society being con fitted by the Charter to the Colonies under the dominion of Great Britain. The exertions of the Society were, however, in creased in those Colonies in America, which re mained subject to Great Britain ; and there were, in IRIS, one hundred and six Missionaries em. 'toyed by the Society in North America, at an expense to the Society of 11,3801, The average expenditme of the Society halt greatly exceeded itb incoine,—Collections have therefore at different periods been nude under the authority of Royal Letters.—A Collection, which was thus made in 1741, amounted to more than 15,0001.; another iu 1751 to nearly 20,0001.; an other in 1779, ender the authority of his present Majesty, to 19,4741. 128. Bd. his Majesty con trihutina 5001. towards that sum. The Society has also been occasionally assisted by grants from Parliament, by which it has been enabled materially to increase the number and the salaries of its Missionaries. Thus it appears that the Society, aided occa sionally by Parliamentary grants. has been the Fob: support 'of the Established Church in the American Colonies.—Most of the Episcopal Churches also in the United States owe their ex istence to its Support ; and this 'was gratefully >ac knowledged by tt,ent in an Address in 1785, through the Archbishops and Bishops, to the NI-embers of ti>e Society for the Propogation of !Ale Gospel,--" a Society (to use their own words) to whom, under God, the prosperity of our Church is in an eminent degree to he risciibed. It - is Our earnest wish to be permitted to make, througit your Lordships, this just acknowtedgmen; to that venerable Society." • Since the establishment of a Bishop itj the Bli• tisit Donnuions in wit"; anti important field ha's been opened for the exertions of the se. ciety iit that'extensive and populous C ountry. The Society, in March 1818, placed 5000/. at the disposal of the Bishop of Calcutta ; tor the furtherance of the objects of the Society in India, at the same time inviting his more particular sog gestions as to the Most prudent and practiCable means of promoting Christianity in that . country. His Lordship's answer h as b een rece i ve d, and con , ;.. rains the most gratifying encouragement to exer tion, in the assurance, that " itt every attempt to e:iliOlten, to instruct, or to Convince, which does not Offer an open and direct affront to prev;tiling stiperstitions, there is not the smillest ground for alarfn ; and (hi: is (observes his Lordship) I be lieve, admitted by many, who once regarded sorh. attempts with manifest apprehension mote remarkable change of sentiment has Belt! m beea effected within so short a period." • lu order to the future propagation of ,Christia‘ nity in lodia, his Lordship in the first instance proposes the erection of a Mi,sitin College ac Calcutta, to be under the iimnediate superintend.. auce of the Bishops of Calcutta, for the reception. of Missionaries, on their first arrival from Eng land, in order to qualify them by the aequisitiott of languageS for preaching to the natives ; fur the education of native teachers to be eMployed under the Missionaries ; and lastly, to be subser:• vient to - the purpose 3 of revising the Transiatioug of the Scriptures and Common Prayer into the, languages of . . . The Bishop of Calcutta proposes to apply Ito this purpose the 5,0001. already placed at his dis posal by the Society for the Propagation of thts Gospel ; and tivo additional sums of 5,0t)01. each have been also given to it by the Society for Pro.. nutting Christian Knowledge, and the Churc h, Missionary Society. This is only a preparatory step to much more extended measures, and it is in aid of these im portant objects that this appeal is made, under the authority of his Royal Highness, the Prince Re gent, to the British Public.—The great import ance of the cause presents the most animating motives to exertion, and the high character and reputation of the Bishop of Calcutta afford the strongest assurance to the Public, that their bounty will be applied in the best manner, not only with energy •and zeal, but also with the .soundest judgment and discretion. Under these circornstatices this appeal is made to the piety and 'literality of the Public at large, and the Members of the Established Church in particular, that, under a doe sense of the immense importance of the object proposed, and the heavy responsibility whiet must attach to them, if they neglect the means thus afforded them of conveyidg the bless ings of the c4ospel to so many millions of human brings, who, immersed in the most horrid super stitions, are living. without God in the world, they Will not be backward in giving their support t'o exertions, which have for their end the most im portant design which can occupy the mind of man, even that .fur which the Redeemer carne down from Heaven—to give the knowledge oi Salvation to a sinful world.

A General Court Martial has been sitting. at Cloninel for two days upon a private of the 37th, who is charged with having shot off his. riOtt hand, when under sentence of Regimental. Court. Martial, in order to disable him from service. An instance of singular audacity and early de• realty occurred at the Wigan Quarter Sessions, ou Saturday, the 17th ult. A youth was arraign ed for housebreaking, to which,• with a' Sneering smile, be pleaded guilty, and on sentence for trans portation for seven years beyond the seas being onounced, he bowed to the Court,, and said, " I thank you, that is what I wanted !" and after cursing •a female who was in tears, for want of coinage, again bowed to the Bench, with that. fearless unconcern that excited pity troe► the, re flecting part. of the Court, and laughter from others ; he, with a firm voice, said,." Good bye lrt n I return, I will bring you a long-tailed. monkey." Nir. (JUICE, landlord of the Rose and Crown,' Wainer -street, Cold Bath-fields, having sold that onse, took apartments for himself and family near Merlin's Cave, until be could suit himself with another house. In Temos'ing in his furniture, he employed a strange man to assist. Atter the fur niture was deposited, he Lucked the room door and departed, and in about an hour after, the labourer he had in assisting him returned with a bag full, as he said, of other things he was to leave ih the room. The land'ord, seeing him load ed, and a key in his knot!, bud no suspicion, .hut permitted the man «i•go op stairs, who lee himself its with a key, Which it appealed after wards was a false key, with which he came pro vided, and the contents of the bag was bricks and straw.
