A T a MEETING of the PROPRIETORS lA. of MARGATE PIER and HARBOUR, held at the TOWN lIALL, on WEDNESDAY, the 7th day of April, 1824, FRANCIS COBB, Esq., in the Chair; The Proprietors of the Pier, fully sensibleof the great public convenience and utility, of the Landing and ,Shipping Place now building, and being aware that the idea originated with the Chairman of the Directors, who is constantly-promoting their and the Town's best interest, wish to record their 'entire approbation of the measure and with the view of evincing their obligation, unanimously resolve that Mr. Jarvis be respect fully requested to permit the - Landing Place now building to be called or known in future by the name of " JARVIS'S LANDING PLACE." _ . By order of the Court of Proprietors, STEPHEN SACKETT CHANCELLOR, Clerk. WESTMINSTER BIBLE SOCIETY. The Anniversary of this Society was-held on Saturday, at Willis's Rooins. Previous to commencing ibuti ness, a letter was read. from Lord BEXLEY, stating his nabi lity to attend that day as their Chairman, he being obliged to. be present at a Cabinet Council. Under these circumstances Lord CALTHORFE was unanimously called to the Chair. His lanitnsurr. said, that no one could feel more sorrow than himself at the absence of Lord liexley,eho had always distin guished himself by his activity, in-bAelf of this Society, and who was one of its most valuable supporters. Before opening the-Mceting he was desirous of bearing his testimony to the ex: cellence of this Institution: When it was remeinbe:ed that . this district contained the House of Legislature, and that from this district the laws of the land were sent forth, it was suitable that its inhabitants should make themselves most active in dis semminating that higher law that was inculcated in the Holy Scriptures; and that that law which was sanctified by the most holy and sacred Doctrines should demand' attention' from all classes of the community. He trusted that through the unceas ing exertions' of this - Institution this would be attained; and that the name of this country for its religion and obedience to the holy will of God would be exalted higher thaß it had• ever yet been. It was a most indispensable duty to those that moved inathe higher ranks of society to prove their zeal in the diffusion of the Book - of Life ; that would be always found to be the best protection from those dangers that attend upon rank, riches, and luxury, and - procured fbr the world that medicine that healed the wounds of sin.—( Hear, hear !)--lie Would now request the attention of the Meeting to the Report of the CoMmittee, which , would be read to them by the Sect etary. The Report was then read. It stated, that though the sums subscribed were not quite equal to those of former years, yet they misted that there would be no relaxation in future efforts. Six hundred, and ttienty-six pounds had been paid to the Parent Society during - the present year, of which 1138/. - had been supplied' by the Ladies' Society ; the distribution of the Holy Volume amounted to 1,000 Bibles and 654 Testaments ; the total number that they had distributed were 27,969 ; and the 'total amount sub scribed was, 14,0391. There were, in this . district, about 41,000 families, many of whom- were 'unprovided with the Bible, and what was found peculiarly unpromising was the di. minution in . the numb er o f co ll ec t ors , w h ic h created. a m a t e , diminution in the funds of the Society. The' Committee was happy to notice the accession of .the Countess.of Liverpool and Sir George Rose to their hit of Vice-Presidents; and concluded by exhorting the inhabitants of Westminster to continue their exertions in so good a cause. Lord BOCESAVAGE felt that he was not competent to de scribe his high admiration of this Bible Society. It was one of the chief glories of this country, and he was happy to see it un der such hi g h patronage, for rank and title could not be better bestowed than in assisting so meritorious an institution. As long as it exi s t e d he trusted the blessing of God would be showered upon it, and he moved with great pleasure—" That the Report now read be received and adopted, and that it be printed tinder th e di rect i on ofd the Committee." Dr. STEINKOPP was most happy in seconding this motion. The Society, it was true, had undergone many difficulties, and sufFered many losses. There was no longer to befound among their numbers the late Marquess of Londonderry, pr Mr. Whitbread, both of whom hail so strongly supported its in terests. The Institution has lost the support of die Rey. Mr, Owen, and of many other valuable friends, but thotigh they had been removed, the Society, through the blessing of God, was still flourishing. They had, at first, found some difficulty in obtaining persons to perform a .most important task—that of translating the holy volumes into the various languages, hut those fears were now extinguished, and he was happy to sea near him one of the Learned Gentlemen (Dr: Morrison) who had so eminently contributed towards its translation into Chi.. nese. In fact, in almost every part these .efforts had been, or promised to be, crowned with success. From Spanish South America, they had received•requests to send over 5000 Bibles, and in Germany upwards of 500,000 had been distributed.— When he was there, last year, he saw seven cases dispatched to a remote village near the Black Forest, and the inhabitants were so anxious to receive them that several thousand addi tional copies had been sent for. In short, it was impossible to describe all the good that had been done in that country and. France, Lapland, Iceland, the Coast of Labradore, and places even .still • more remote. Eternity alone eoultl develope them in their full exellence—(Hear, hear !)—Hewould now second the motion, which was carried - unanimously. Lord 'BARHAM was quite unaccustomed to epealr in public, but could not let this opportunity pass of stating how cordially he participated in the interests of this' Society, the benefits of which, as the Rev. Gentleman who had - just sat down had ex pected it, would only be fully developed in eternity : if they looked round them in this great town, they wonld•be forced- to admire the many noble structwres • thanthe hands of men had erected upon the eaath, but how much more worthy of admiration was the building that God had set up in the land, and to which he had honoured them by summoningthem as Agentaa-(Hear, hear !)—lt was this that should animate them to go on, and this that caused these meetings to be, as it were, a resting plate where they might I ook around them in their pilgrith age th rou - gh • life. He would now more. with' much pleasure, " That tie most cordial and respectful thanks - of this meeting be presented to their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York, Cumberland, Sussex, and Cambridge, the Tamils - to the Westminster Auxiliary Bible Society, for the honour of their countenance and support." ' Mr. GRANT, in seconding this Motion, was anxious to pay his tribute of respect to the illustrious personages connected with the Motion just read, and at the same time he would callthe - at-. tendon of the • Meeting to the Report that had been read ; and while he regretted, with the Committee,' that sonze relaxation in their exertions had taken place; he would express his conviction that this Institution would never decline; for it had some thing within that acted continually as a renovation. Those - Societies that were formed for extending earthly science and knowledge might, indeed, decline—for they appeared only to the more worldly senses-of men ; but an : institution like this a that combined in its principles all the best motives ,of man kind, and appealed to the most powerful affections of the hu man mind, must warm them into a nobler exercise of their power, and prevent any diminution in its strength—(Hear the passion it appealed to was• the passion of heaven ; its know ledge • was derived from the most divine sources, and• the truth it looked to was a nobler troth than philosophy had , ever die covered. Its intreaties rested on the most tender and affecting. sensations with which the human heart was conversant;: and it established its strength not on the fluctuating , foundation of human opinions, but in the essence of heavenly truth, and in the benevolent purposes of God.—(Hear, hear !)--So long, therefore; as this was so, and that on. one side there was po verty, vice, and death, and on the other wealth, and power,. and happiness—while on the one side there was the intense ness of misery, and on the other the extreme of heavenly bliss, so long would there be a supply of heart s an d h an d s to work and devise and' beat in this general anuse--(Applause.).— He remembered that when this Society had first sprung up, therehad been objections made to it : these objections . had al-. most been forgotten, they had now become the facts of obsolete history, and in after ages, if it were mentioned, they would be regarded as fabulous history—(Hear !); they had been passed by in the rapidity of events and in the triumph that this society had achieved; those objections had been made,. but the best answer that could be returned was to let those whostarted them - see all denominations uniting ;. all sects rallying to one point, all forgetting the minor points of, difference and collecting to.. gether in that fold of which Christ was the shepherd—(}fear, hear !)—When be called upon them to assist this Society • lie would not appeal to those commands - laid down in the book of life ; that belonged to a more sacred place, and to more .lial lowed lips;. but he•would call upon them in the name of that common sense and-common feeling which taught • them that it inVolved ultimate haPpinees and inward consolatiOne—alear The CHAIRMAN stated, that he was sorry to be unable to continue in the Chair any longer, but he had a most imperative call to another place ; his Noble Friend- on his right (Lord Rocksavage) would have the kindness to supply his place.— The Noble Lord last mentioned then took the Chair. Mr. Eval,s, M.P. then moved; " That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be presented to their-Graces the:-Vice-Patrons, the Vice-Patroness, the President, the Most Noble and Right Honourable the Vice-Presidents, to the Countess of Liverpool, and to the -Right Honourable Sir G. Rose, Bart., for his kind ness in accepting the office of Vice-President; also- to the Treasurers, Secretaries ; And Honorary Committees of these : be requested , trooreotnhetiinrice their.services."p atmrmo aud supports, and that they Rev. Mr. TOWNSEND observed, that as he approached this Meeting, his mind had, been turned towards an expression of our Saviour : " What is man profited if he gain tit - Whole for his soul ? This sugg e , world. and lose his so u l, or what can be given i n exchange sted to him , the duty that devolved on this Institution most forcibly, for if one soul was worth a world, how valuable must be the Nix milli ons o f sou l s t h at were now existing on the earth, and k new - not the light o f Ch r i st i an i ty . It was now two thousand yeast since Christ had been on the earth; and made known his blessings to the children of men, and what had the Christians -been doing since that time, that there were six millions found ignorant of his hilly word? They hatUbeen neglecting his interuats, , and contending abbut points . of difference that were not worth the disputing,Lin the'compari son—(Hear, hear!)—He - corided the motion with all his heart..- • Dr. Monnisiyir sai the _habits of his life bad not been favourable in public speaking,. he had been shut up, in hisrontn translating the holy volume--(Hear!)-11Iiieb. had 'been said about the circulation of the Bible, which he would not purupon the footing of charity and benevolence, but urge it as an abso lute duty, and the feelings of any heart that had extieriencedthe change wrought . by the Bible,.would instruct the owner muse his utmost to circulate that sacred book throughout the world— ( Hear!)—He had to move, " That this Meeting; considering the 'condition of the world at large, is forcibly struck with the amazing disproportion which exists between the actual papola drat bf the globe, and the number of copies of the Scriptures, which by the combined exertions of Bible Societies throughout the world, have:yet circulated; and they:conelude from this tact that it is their indispensible duty to urge on the .wealthier parts of this district the importance of liberal animul contribu tions to this Society." • Rev. Mr. ROBERTSON seconded this motion. In the Ork ney Islands, from which he came, there were two Bible: So cieties formed already ; the inhabitants were not very rich, but they•contributed their mite most readily, and he would venture to assert that there was not a single family there ,and the popu lation consisted. of 20,000, that was without a Could the inhabitants of London say as much ? He was happy in second ing the Resolution. Sir GEORGE ROSE then proposed," That this Meeting con templates, with sincere. gratitude, the valuable services of the Ladies and Gentlemen who compose the 'several Associations, Committees, and the Collectors within the Westminster Dis trict; and that in the - Care takento supply the industriotis and poor classes with-the Sacred - Scriptures, this Meeting entertains the pleasing expectation of great religious 'and: moral improve ment in society, throuh the Divine blessing ; and this Meet ing aCknowledges ; with- thanks given to Almighty God, the -various instances of his blessings-on the labours of this 'Associa. tiOn, which have come to the knowledge of the Committee." The 42notion was seconded by Dr. WINTan,, and carried unanimously.—Thanks were then voted to Lords Chlthorpe ing was then adjourned. and Rocksavage for their conduct in the Chair, and the -Meet.

Soldiers, Sailors; and Marines, Natives of Scotland, who ha.ve, died or been disabled in. the service. their country, was cele brated on Saturday evening at the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street. His Royal Highness the Duke of YouK was expected to take the Chair, but was prevented-by. indisposition from attending. In the absence of his Royal II ighnese, -Lord ELGIN. presided. After the cloth was removed, Benedict vs eit Deus in danis suis was given with great effect by Mr.'BrOadhurst, Mr. Phil lips, and the other professional Gentlemen who attended. The CHAIRMAN then proposed .",the health of his jesty;" with four times four. In proposing this toast, his Lord ship took occasion to observe, that the gracious visit of his Jesty to Scotland testified the respect which the. Royal Person bore to that part of his dominions, and was attended with many gratifying effects. The health of his Majesty was drank with enthusiasm. " The Royal Family," was next - proposed, and rank. The NOBLE CHAIRmAN next rose to propose " d the health of the Duke of York, the President of the institution." All present, he had no doubt,iamented the absence of his Royal Highnesa ; the Mize's°, 'when they were aware, that illness prevented him from appearing ;inning them. his Royal High nesS was justly a favourite with the purple of this country. It was by his excellent arrangements,' is great zeal and abilities, that the army of Great Britain, dui-Mg that awful contest which agitated the world for so many years, and which termi hated so much to the honour, the safety, and the...glory of England, were put in- - a situation that enabled them-to per form those great achievements which saved the country. in his public situation, no- person could be more efficient than his Royal Highness ; and,. in private he was the advocate of charity, and the supporter of every useful and benevolent In stitution. The health of his Royal Highness was received with applause. Lord SALTOtIN rose, and read a letter',which he had that evening received : : it was written by Sir Herbert Taylor, at the instance of his Royal Highness; and stated, that his Royal Highness regretted that indisposition prevented bins from pre siding upon this occasion. " The Duke of York and the Army," and ." the Duke of Clarence and -the Navy," were next proposed and drank, Lord SALTOUN -next rose and-proposed " the health of Lord Elgin." His Lordship, he said, was a Ngblepleal well-known as-the patron of the Arts, and. the supperter of institution that tended to promote the interests of the empire, and, of his native country in particular.—The health of his Lurdsldp was received with applause. Lord ELGIN returned thanks. He said, that he regretted that some person more competent to preside over the Meeting had not been called to the Chair. He admired the objects of this useful and benevolent Charity, and would always gladly exert himself to promote them , where any . exertion .. of his could be in any degree considereduseful. He concluded, by returning thanks to the company for the handsome manner in which his health .had been received. • The next toast proposed, was, • " His Royal Highness the Duke. of Sussex, under whose auspices, while President of the Highland. Society, the Caledo nian Society was first proposed"--(applause.) The " Caledonian Asylum," was next proposed, and receiv ed with loud cheers. Immediately after this toast wa s g iv e n, th e b o y s o f t h e .In stitution were introduced into the room—they. were dressed in the Scottish costume ; their fine healthful appearance. ex cited the admiration of all . present, as • it atforthd the. most practical and the most gratifying proof of fha value of this Nol4 Charity.. The boys ware drawn up immediately behind the Chair. Mr. STEWART NICHOLSON, one of the , Directors,. rose, and in a very animated speech enlarged on the objects of this charity. lle entered into-a statement of the progress of the In stitution, and strongly and eloquently recoinniended it to the patronage and support of the- public. . As evidence of the,pzogrel3..s made by the boys at the Caledo nian School, the lion. Gentleman read the following Report of the Minutes of the.Lond-on Presbytery : All theboys in . the • sylu m without any.e::ception, and almost with equal proficiency, read out of the Scriptures with distinctness and understanding, and were found proficient in spelling. With the exception of those who came at the last term ; arid- the term preceding, they have made respectable pro gress in English Grammar. Nearly one half of the whole are conversant with the first principles of the Solar System and of Geography, and are in the way, of becoming acquainted .with the history and manners and customs of the various nations of the world.. And in arithmetic, the whole, without any excep tions, were found acquainted with the first rules ; about two thirds have advanced so far as to the Rale of Three, and fully one-third are acquainted with Vulgar and Decimal Fractions. Their writing have us equal satisfaction.; and. in all the secular parts of education, there was evince,: much carefulness on the part of the teacher, and conesponding progress on the part of the boys, . But what the Presbytery has most pleasure in re porting; is the state of religious knowledge and feeling in which they found the youth. Here their teacher, the Rev. Mr. Lees, has approved himself worthy of the-Church by which he was ordained,.ancl of the trost.committed to his charge—a faithful steward over the souls of the children. " The Presbytery cannot conclude without congratulating the Directors of the Caledonian Asylum on the state of their Institution. The style of education is truly Scottish—plain, substantial, and unostentatious, wherein conduct is founded on religion, and character formed by - piety ; and while tbin , s con tinue so well ordered as we have this day found them, a blessed thing it is for every Scottish youth who finds his way to the door of this , Asylum, and obtains a place among the little ones who are therein training up for the-life that now is, and the life that-is to come." - _ _ After Mr. gicholson concluded, " Scots wha hae wi' Wal. lace bled" was sung by the children with great animation and effect, Shortly after they. retired, followed by the applause of the; company. The next toast was,' The Highland Asylum of London, the Parent of the Caledonian Asylum." The Rev. EiftvanD Ittvißo returned thanks..

The gratifying scene . they had that night witnessed, he believed affected and delighted every per son in thatroom, nor would it be lost on the interesting objects of their country.

Li T,A4l‘x, AN INQUIRY into' the AUTIIENTICITY of iiiriotts PICTITRES and PRfNTS, which, from the decease of the Poet to our own tirnee, ,have been offered to the public ay PORTRAITS of SIiiiKPEABE ; containing a ,careful examination of the evidence onwhich they claim .to.lr ceived; by which the pretended Portraitsl!ayl,?gpri redacted, the genuine confirmed and established. 11lu s trated byAccu rate and Finished . Pigr,ayings by the ablest Artists, from such Originals-as were of indisputable attthority... ; By 4,..,5t Boeppi, Esq. W. have : given the title, page of this,worknt length, lrecauser the. work • itself, ,consisting, of minute investigations, references, and consecutive argninents„ hardly admits.,ef insulated extractg. The dramatic productions of our great, our uh 4 riValledi Bard, have, been ,examined iwith elaborate nicety, ,and. refinement, that, criticism may :fairly be said to -have. ,accomplished. all that criticism could accomplish. But admira tion admits of DO limits in considerin* the wonderful effusions Of - 17isitOnse. — N6 - 44ifir — ' - in any age has ever, indeed, even .approaclked:to equality of geoius, His .-penetration.. into the human heart, and his delineations of ail'tts simplest and most complicated movements and affections, cannot but excite astonishment. It is the boast of our conritry to have given. birth to -this ivon. derful Poet, and his, name, therefore,: is Inti mately connected. with the national glory.. All that criticism coeld effect, as we have said,. has been done in order, to develope his: meanings, amidst the mist which time has spread over his works, though much, very much, still remains •to illustrate. his beauties. Much also has been done to trace his history, and, perhaps, we must .now relinquish all hope of making. new disco veries in that respect. Mr. - Mar.oNE, whose laudable industry deserves the gratitude of every admirer of SHAKSREA aF,and, of Course, , of every enlightened reader,_ brought forth mail ; valuable Biographical Notices, which might have been more successfully pursued if death had not deprived the world of a sound scholar, an acute critic, and a worthy man. Having so comprehensive a view of the mind of our great Bard, it is natural thatman, kind should be anxious to know something of the person of this great ornament of human nature: Mr. BOADEN, whose literary talents are well known by his dramatic and other works, and who has always been an enthusiastic admirer of our Poet, may be fairly considered as well qualified to make a:satisfacto r y inquiry upon this interesting subject, and he has obviously_ spared no labour in the attempt to asci!rtain the Point.' Indeed, his entleavours ought grit to be styled an attempt, for he appears to be completely success ful in proving what may be deemed' a certain similitude of the - great original. We will state the general contents of the work, because it is not well susceptible of extracts. After a general introduction on the interesting and important na ture of the inquiry, Mr. Boa Ins: examines, first, MARTIN DROESHOLIT'S Print of SIIAKAPEARE,oe the title-page of the first folio of his works, col lected and published by his friends and fellow performers. The lICCU racy of this Print, faithfully copied in the present Work by SWA I NE, is sup ported by some verses, to which • BEN' JoNsest has annexed his initials. As this Print appeared a few years after the Poet's death, and when hundreds, from curiosity, admiration, and personal inter-. course, must.have been too well acquainted with. his features to admit of imposition, it must be inferred, whatever may be.its demerits in.point of art, that it bore a complete resemblance of the poet. 1 1E11J/sus and CON.D . ILL otherwise would. .not have attempted to foist it on the world, and BEN :I OHNSO N never would have supported it by . the authority of his sanction. Mr. BOADEN, therefore, decides in favour of this Print, but he examines the pretensions of all other imputed re, presentations of the Poet with most diii4e nt tit tention, acumen, and candour. The. next of the general heads into which the volume is- divided is the bust at Stratford-npon- . Avon, of 'which_ there is a fine'priiit from Rn accurate dfawing by Mr. JOHN BOSOEN, son of the Author, a portrait painter of considerable Merit. Then follows an examination of the Chandos Head froth the late Mr. 0. - Hustenavv's drawing.-- Both of these prints are admirably engraVed 'for this work by Sctuvra. Then follows a notice . of the Portrait by ZUCCIIERO S supposed to.be SIIRKSPEARE. After a slight hut satisfactory dis, proval, Mr.-Boaoxn proceeds to.examiee the pre tensions of the portrait by CORNELIUS J SNSEN, beautifully engraved iti tnezzotinto by C. Tuallya, and finally the Felton Head, by an unknown artist. We have not room for a !note; ample notice of this interesting work, hark. WOnld be unjust to Mr. TRIPHOOK, the publiifier, to conclude without observing that 'by the handsome` manner in which he has brought' it forward, and the distinguished Artists who have furnished the prints which enrich-it, it may be inferred that he is iLintthlye gluaiurdya, it as s,e,onislicbeirensotfi.iiethpebeitmwprr,tsaont;,.4en contributes, to the. glory.-of our country, anti whose works must excite. the admiration. of alt. :future ages. • A Jabourer, whitriployed iu excava44)g tke mould, near the barrow. on . the Church Downs .for atones,, dug op the remains of a human slteleton, :which hi careftik buried: - If o came also in contact with a large , amphoraana Tit:, former he had nearly secured entire, knit - not having beeu sufficiently cleared from the surrounding earth, it was, in tieing - raised, unfortunately broken The other was Mutilated in the_ act of digging.
