PATRONISED BY THE lIONOURA DIX THE NAVY CHUBB'S PA.T ENT DET ECTOIt LOCK. THE Hon. Sir G EO. GREY, Bart., K.C.B '9 (the Commissioner), and the Principal Officers Of His Majesty's Dock Yard, Portsmouth, have given the Patentee permission to publish the following Statement of Facts relative to his PATENT . DETECTOR LOCK; namely, That hav ing, by order of the Honoutable Navy Board, lately supplied a considerable number of his Patent Detector Locks for the use of the Portsmouth Dock Yard, and being informed that there was a Convict on board one of the prison-ships at this port, who was notorious fOr picking Locks, (being by profes sion a Lock ilaker, and who has, till recently, far several years been chiefly employed in picking and repairing Locks in London), the Patentee requested the favour of Commissioner the Honourable Sir George Grey to send for this man, that lie Might exercise his skill in attempting to pick his Lock ; and the Commissioner having "been pleased to acquiesce in this re quest, the man was sent for accordingly, and one of Chubb's Pa tent Locks was submitted to his inspection, attire Storekeeper's Office, in the presence of several of the Principal Officers ; When, after a careful examination, lie said, " lie thought he could pick or open it with falseinstruments." He was therefore fur nished with files, and all the tools he stated to be necessary to prepare the instruments for, itis purpose ; and was directed to give notice to the Storekeeper when he should be ready to make the trial, for the •promotion of which a Itewiird of Five Pounds was promised him if he succeeded. In about three weeks after this time, he sent to say that he was ready; and, a time being fixed on for the purpose he com menced his operations in endeavouring to pick Me of tittr Locks, in the presence of the -Principal Officers of the Dock-yard ; but he could not succeed. Ile then stated, " that his failure was in consequence of his instruments not exactly fitting the Lock." To remove this impediment, the Patentee offered to supply him with some blank keys, which should fit two of the Locks, in order to his making another trial ; these were fur nished accordingly, together with a Lock exactly the same in principle arid in kind as those he had been trying, so that he might examine its construction, and make himself master of its principle. Shortly after he made another attempt to pick two of the Locks, in the presence of the Ilonourable Sir George Grey, and the Principal Officers of the Dock-Yard : his success in this attempt was not better than the first ; but he overlifted the Detector of each Lock. Sir George Grey then l i asked him, what he,would do in this case, supposing he had been making an attempt on such a Lock, with an intent to com mit a robbery He said, " I would go no more to the Lock, they would set a watch and catch me. He still drought, how. ever, that, by a further alteration of the instruments he could yet succeed more time was therefore given him, and every facility afforctpci him. Some time afterwards he again repeated his efforts, In the presence of the same Gentlemen ; but having, ' in his previous exp er i ments , over lif te d t h e Detectors, lie could not by any means dis e n gage t h em ; t hi s was d one for him seve ral times, with the Keys belonging to the Locks ; but, as often as they were regulated, on every successive trial he detected them again ; till at last he gave then, up, sayin g , " That he had used his utmost ability in his repeated attempts, and could not succeed : that these Locks were the most secure he had ever met with, and that he did not think it possible for any man t o pick or open them with airy false instruments whatever. The Patentee of the above Lock, in making the following observations, disclainis any intention of depreciating the meri ts , of other Locks, by describing their defects, or demonstrating their insecurity; but trusts the Detector Lock will entitle him to a share in the attention and patronage of tire Public ; as it possesses, in a much higher degree - than any other, the four principal requisites of a good Lock ; viz. SECURITY, SIM PLICITY, S'I'RENOTII, and DURABILITY. Its SE CURITY, particularly, is increased beyond calculation, by an improvement, which not only renders it impossible to be picked or opened by any false instruments, but also detects the first attempt to open it ; thereby preventing those repeated efforts, to which even the best Locks hitherto invented are exposed. In these Locks, the combinations admit of so great variety, that millions of them may be made, and yet one Key shall not pass any two Locks ,• and the Detector renders that variety infinite ; fur the instant that one or more of the tumblers are lifted beyond the place where the bolt is at liberty to pass, it overbite the De. tector, whiclithen hooks the tail of the bolt, preventing it from passing, and thus gives incalculable additional Security, Os well notiee: the tires t time the true key is put into it t o open it, that an attempt has been matte to pick it.,) anti renders all farther attempts useless; it being impossible to disco ver d ie first combination, to disengage the Detector, or the second, to remove the bolt; and nothing but the,true key can either re lease the Detector from its grasp on the bolt, or open the Lo c k. In reference to its DURABILITY, it is not liable to be in. jured by constant use in any length of time ; this has been as . certained, by an Iron-rim Lock having been attached to a Steam-Engine in the Dock-yard, .Portsmouth (to try the effect of friction), by which it was locked and unlocked upwards of four hundred and sixty thousand times, without receiving the 'keit injury. The STRENGTH of its parts, and the SIM, PLICITY of its construction, arc such, that no False Key, 'or other Instrument, intreduced into it for the purpose of open. ing it, can (without very great violence) injure it. The Patent Detector Locks, of every size, and for all the uses to which Locks can be applied, may be had of die Paten tee, CHARLES CHUBB, Portsca.

Soon after 12 o'cloCk, the Manor rose, and said, that as the present was a meeting of the Committee or the Society for Pro moting Christian Knowledge, it became him to open the pro. ceedings with the usual prayers to the Almighty for rte pros. perity and his protection, His Lordship then read the prayers in a very impressive manner, all present kneeling; after which The Bishop of CHESTER. addressed himself to the audience in words to 'the following purport :—He said, he felt a lively satisfaction—a.satisfaction which he had not words to express— to behold before him a meeting so numerous, antisotruly re spectable. It was highly gratifyi ng , in asmuc h as it convinced him, that there was abroad, not only a spirit of zeal in support of our holy religion, but also oflove for the Established Church, which was the 'beet instrument, under Divine Providence, of propagating true religion. Assembled as they were with a pare , tieular object in view, he felt it his duty to offer to their notice a few observation. He would be as short as he could in ex plaining to them his sentiments; firstly, because,' probably, a egreater part of those he had the honour of addressing were well acquainted with the - principles of Society; and secondly, be cause he disliked from his heart, the ostentation of being pro minent in speaking on public occasions. True charity is unobe trusive and retired ; she courts not public gaze, nor does she seek public appl ause , any f art h er thah may - be requisite to at tract the notice, and to conciliate theregatd of those who would otherwise remain in ignorance of her exertions and deserts; and he Would therefore confine his remarks within the shortest 'nits which the execution of the task he had undertaken would permit. Glad was be to observe at the meeting so great a number of the Clergy of the neighbourhood; but still more re joiced was he to see so numerous anti respectable an assemblage of the Laity, becausa it showed that the support and welfare of' the Society for promoting.. Christian Knowledge was not con fined to Ministers of the Goipel. He saw around him many old and valued friends of that venerable Institution, numbers of whom, no doubt, were• better acquainted with the subject than himself; but he Would observe, that when he (the Bishop) took on himself last year t in the veey e centraof the Metropolis, to forward the objects of the Society, he found hundreds who actually did 'not .know of' its existence! lle was aweee, some might say, that this ignoranc e was ow i ng t o the Inertness of the Society, 'but there had been no inert ness but what arose from the want of support; and if this had been the case, it certainly was not so now. That these' had been a discreditable indifference, he was not prepared to deny ; and he even found amonget.hisparishionere many warm friends of the. Church, who, strange to say supposed the Bible was never distributed by the Society unless it was bound up with the book of Common Prayer. This error, it was pretty obei ous, had originated in the misrepresentation of somaone ; hut he would not inquire into that. When he sought the contri butions of his parishioners, it was fairly stated to them, that the appropriation of the money would be confined exclusively to the Society. for promoting Christian Knowledge, which was strictly in its principles a Church Society ; and he was glad to say, that although his pari s h was situated in that part of Lon don abounding with seceders from the church, lie found many of them who gladly contributed towards so good a purpose. Far from dissembling the fact, we ought to avow with pride that this is a Church of England Society,. and we should cor dially co-operate in order to disseminate the pure principles of that church of which we profess ourselves members. The So. ciety first originated in the year 1699—a period when this king 7doni was threatened on one hand with the danger of Popery. and with atheism and infidelity on the other. It was formed to counteract their operation, and was soon afterwards divided into two branches; the one called the Society for the Propaga tion of the Gospel in foreign parts, the other called the. Society for the Promoting Christian Knowledge. The principal object of the latter was the foundation de charity schools, cconfinedtothe metropoli s , an d t h e f orma ti o n of paroorenerally can, chatical libraries; that of th e fo r mer to sending out Mission aries abroad. Let not th e s pl e nd ou r of later and more exten sive charities so dazzle our eyes, as to make us blind to the early and effectual labours of this Society. So early as 1740, there were no less than two thousand charity schools found ed by this Society, directly or indirectly ; and at present the metropolis exhibits to our view the great meeting of the different charity shools in connexion with the esta blishment; holden before this society—a sight the grandest and most, affecting that could be conceived !.—to behold from 10,000 to 12,000 children assembled together in the Temple of die Lord, what could be ,so impressive P—What -could sooner touch the sensibilities of our nature 1 (His Lord ship at this period appeared to feel the importance of the sub ject to which he adverted, and was generally cheered.)---He must apologize for being carried away by his feelings, but he did hope to.see an annual meeting of the children similarly educated at Chester, in that Cathedral._(Dear, hear ) Ile trusted he should be excused trespassing on .their time a little longer ; and he could not forbear adverting to the lamentable deficiency of such schools in this city. There was not one which gave public instruction on the Sabbath-day ; so that, when children, imperfectly educated, had arrived at an age in which they could earn something for themselves, they . were taken away from their present schools, and the consequence Was, that instead of having a school connected with the extae blishment to avail themselves of on the Sabbath, they .were obliged to take shelter in the seminaries, of weeders ; so that, in point of fact, we w ere actua lly e d uc ating children for Dis- Ise:here From the schools of the church. Did It not, then, be come us to establish similar schools ?—(flear!)—At the pre sent moment there were upwards of 300,000 children receiving the blessings of a ch urc h e d u c a tion, bu t that could not be done (as his Noble and excellent friend, Lord Kenyoo, had just ob served) were it not for the assistance of the Society for Promot ing Christian Knowledge. This' fact alone would establish its indefeasible claim to support from the friends of the church. But the object and influence of the. Society did not end here; it was always ready to glve. its assistance, and disseminate its instructive books, not only to children but to adults. The great increase of schools lutd of course given a great increase of readers, and ueless the church of England supplied them with thebooks they required, the Dissenters undoubtedly.would. The second great object in view bY the Society was the general dice tribution of the Word of OW. His Lordship wits aware that till within the last few years, the operatiens at' the Society were coitm o e f ea tie t i ive c l b y l l r i c m h ite r t a i lliebdutroautunid it, mul in us was given to it, the me. bees ed, and now enabled to dispense its i f t`sbl l e s se b i e ng .a trii e l aexlatern;eri ephere 'action: , There were more than lli,ooo subscribers on the Society'a hooka. and they were yearly anti monthly increas ing—he progiess was rapid. Ile would not stop to enumerate the laboure of its Leafier years. Suffice it, therefore, to say. that within the East fourteen years, at least fifteen millions of books have been distributed by the Society, of which a very great preportion wes - the COmaion Prayer, and the remainder useful and simple manuals of devotion for the poorest classes.-- A t the present thite, the Canimittee were employed in carefully revising the general tracts of the SOciety, in order to meet the errors and wants of the times in, the most ample way necessary, so'thet, irea short tinie, lie had great pleasure m stating, many mori'extellent tracts mid devotional books would be ready for . circulation. Ile must not, however, forget to mention the Fae - • roily ,Bible published by the Society for promoting Chrietian er . . 1. ibaHlvnt:)ryr(lci calculated socie t y, s l boa . d ny b ll g t e u eo t: andn—aenratherSociety;etexactlynwesl o ut r c f k t o ti I rct state,ealf; c erta i n l y ra d m i the t l hill ap p r ov ed d la s o mei ww i n : oirterh l g l k e sbi . inn'l d e g r ee ' de : snh h f s deei blessed f h a l t e w:t; ex pe ns i ve,i o l i.l rsd w a s slsat cen tu r y d o r l e eusdpalewrt than e 's a a w d a p oc ys fl 21,000 copies bad been sOld.: In- this iiiiiklibotabOod it might l e i a 's tracts, &c. were issued by the SO .

'might be excused saying; and he adverted to it with gratitude to God, that there never was a time when the work of infidelity' was, levekbusY and bold than at present; and proud wits be. to ray, that one great cause of this was owing .to the activity and influence of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.-: (Hear t)—lrastly, another object which the Society had in view'. was the distribution of the Scripture tesuch unhappy tnenkbers of the Church, who, straying from the paths of rectitude and virtue jnto those of vice, offended against the laws of their coon , try, and were imprisoned ; and not only to prisons were the beneficent views of the Society directed, but also to those soffere ing under the hand of' affliction in public hospitals and infir maries. Ile was fearful he was trespassing too much on the time of those who heard him, but he co u ld not refrain from stating the principle features of the views entertained by the Society. There was yet 'one point untouched and that was as to the progress of the Society in foreign parts, and particularly in the East Indies. The Society for the propagation of the Gospel had long ago supported Missionaries in the East, as it, did at present : and he could not but admire the devotion of those venerable and apostolic men, who would thus voluntarily forego the blessings and comforts we enjoyed in this highly favoured land, in order to preach to those who sat in darkeese the truth as it is in Jesus. Their exertions has recently been redoubled, and were most materially aided by the introduction' into the East Indies of an .episcopal establishment. District .Committees were there formed, Societies instituted, and large depote for books were established at Singapore, Calcutta, Madras, and other places. It was particularly gratifying to observed hat these books were' called for by the natives , faiter than they could be supplied ; and it was a most im portant fact, that the book of Conmion prayer—that axed, lent exposition of' the Scriptures —was principally sou ht for. • In order still further to aid the glorious prospect. each presented itself in that quarter of the world, a ,pant: had lately been made by the Society of 6,000/. for the foundation of a college at Calcutta, under the sanction and patronage of the Bishop, in order to prepare preachers'of the Gospel according t o the discipline and doctrine of the established church. He (the Bishop) would forbear to dilate on this interesting subject, but he must observe, that the avidity with which the scriptures, translated into the 'remota tongue, were sought fur at Tanjore, wasenost gratifying. Ile hoped and believed lie should not be deemed guilty of a breech of confidence in stating, that he had been favoured with a recent communication from that learned 'and excellent Prelate (Dr. licher) who now filled the See of Calcutta, in. which 'rte adverts to the anxiety manifested by the natives to send their children to the Missionary Schools, which were partially supported from the funds of the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge. Before heconclutled, the Bishop observed, that some years ago , _ a Branch Committee of ' the Society had been established in Chester, but it•was exclue Meet)? confined to those who were members of the Parent So.. clety, who paid their annual guinea. Now in the present instance he did not mean to propose that such a • quttlificae thin should be indispensable; on the contrary, the Corn. mittee would he happy to receive the mites of all those who were disposed to contribute in aid of a Society formed • for such really Christian purposes—from the poor as well as from the rich—in testimony of their good-will towards the holy -canoe in which they had embarked. Ile would, however; pro. pose, that none could he Members of' the Committee who did not contribute lialf-n-guinea annually. He was of opinion also, that it would be expedient to call occasional meetings, when a, speech or two might be made in illustration of the progress of the Society, anti for the information of those unacquainted with the magnitude of its object; but he was satisfied the views he entertained 'could not be efficiently supported,' unless by the individual exertions of' tire Members, and particularly of the• Clergy, who might personally seek the assistance of their pa. rishioners; and lie was persuaded no Minister of the Gospel' could be ashamed of interesting himself in a cause in which charity was united with Christianity. In his own parish in town obje (St. A object tfor which ialirchthlitsotuolaspli) convened;lie called a it ir as etin v g for the l as y i ti ne i* tended.; and nothing comparatively was done.

W. Vaughan, hart.,) who, although not connected with this, immediate neighbourhood, had nevertheless- attended as friendly to 'the establishment, and to t h e new Bishop of the, diocess.—(Hear, hear 1)-11e laid almost forgotten to state th a t.. a letter had been sent by that highly respected Nobleman, the- ' Earl of Stamford and IVlerrington, Lord-Lieutemint.of the county, to his friend Mr. Pearson, in which Iris Lordship ix - presses great regret that business alone prevents his being pre. sent ; and he (the Bishop) had also received one of the hand somest and kindest letters from Earl tirosVenor, at Learning. ton, in which his Lordship observee, that he delayed .till the last hour writing, in the hope that the ..health of, Lady Grin ienor might be sufficiently restored to enablehim to be pressot on the occasion ; unfortunately it was not so; but his Lord, ship expressed his warmest wishes Ibr the welfare of the Soctety.
