The FIRST ANNUAL REPORT of the SOCIETY for the PREVENTION of CRUELTY to ANIMALS.--Insti tuted 1824. It is with great satiSfattion that; in tire charac ter of Secretary of the " Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Aminials," I am enabled to present to the Members and friends of the Insti tution, this their first Annual Iteport. The wise, the liberal, and the humane, among our country men had long been impressed with the necessity of checking, a disposition too prevalent among tire less' reflecting minds, towards barbarity-, in their treatment of the inferior animals.---Persons of feeling and judgment considered, that such cruelty was not only evil in itself, butt tended to degrade and brutalise the character, and to pro duce acts of Violence and outrage, in the inter course of mankind with each other. These re flections produced many religious and Metal-ex hortations from the pulpit and the press ; and at length the Legislat Lire interposed its authority for the repression of this species of cruelty. Still it was obvious ; that an Institution directed to this object, could alone- produce a steady and per tnanent effect oh the general habits and manners of the community. Such was the origin of the Institution several zealous and excellent indivi duals determined to • form, and the result was the establishment of the present Society, on the 25th Jerre, 1824. It is the fate of all laudable undertakings to encounter, irf their outset, prejudice and ridicule. This So , ciety 4 undaunted by such opposition, has per , sued its progress with a steady pace. Its object was to prorriote and extend the practice of hu , manity to all the classes of aniniated beings in the creation; and the means which it resolv e d to em ploy for this purpose, were, ie the first place, ra tional persuasion, and should that fail, then, legal compulsion. No sooner was the Society esta blished than its attention began - to be turned, with great anxiety to the best methods of effect ieg the desired change. It was obviously mutt congenial to heneVolent feeling to act'lry the gentlest inducements, to introduce elementary works impregnated with humane sentiments, into schools, to cause short tracts, essays (having kindness to brutes as their subject), to be circu lated among the lower classes; to interest the professors of physical science in the cause of hu manity, to ehgage divines to dwell upon that part of the scriptural duties in their sermons ; and lastly, and above all, to enlist that powerful and ceaseless engine, the Press, in the same sacred cause. This course has been unremittingly pur seed. It was, however, soon found (what in fact was anticipated would be the case) that the force of persuasion alone would not be sufficient to effect the desired change in the habits and manners of cer tain classes of indiVidUals ; and that it would he absolutely necessary to proceed, in some in stances, by the terrors of the law. It was, theri.- fore, determined to exercise a vigilant inspection, especially over drovers, and others habittially employed in the care of cattle ; and if they Should be found indulging in brutality, to bring them before the proper tribunals for censure or punishment. With this view the Committee first took care to ascertain by legal advice, how far the law would support their exertions. These points were really and satisfkctorily determined, and the reqttisiter meastites Were adopted ac cordingly, when occasion presented itself. In the course of the year, one hundred and forty four convictions for cruel and improper treatment of animals have taken place l chiefly among bul lock drovers ; but partly alsd among those who have the cate of horses,and who by furious riding or driving mit only injure these:anitnals,but incur great hazard of destruction to human life. We have every reason to hope that the necessity for legal interference will gradually Cease: but painful as is the discharge of such a duty, the Society will not shriek from it, whenever it is called for by cir cufmstatices of peculiar atrocity. The scccess of these combined methods of exhortation and pro , secede') has been most satisfactory. It is im possible for any one, whose mind has been turn ed to obseriations of such matters, not .to be struck With the marked difference which has taken place within the last twelvemonth. if there was one spot in the kingdom_ more dis graced than another, by the repetition of baths,. roes cruelties, wreaked, week after week, on poor dumb and defenceless animals, it was Smith field-market. The scene thereys now so much changed, that we can hardly recognize the same unfeeling class of met', that used to he employ ed in driving, or rather torturing; cattle. Som e of the most respectable inhabitants of the houses which surround the market-place have borne written testimony to this fact, by a letter ad dressed to the Committee. The Cruel sport (as it was deemed) of bull-baiting had disgraced the populace of many parts of England for cen turies. There were even towns hi which it was regarded as a legal privilege of the inhabitants to indulge their savage delight, once` a year or oftener, with the contemplation of a noble animal chained down to a spot, send then.wof ried. into a state of fury ; While fee, on his part, gored, tossed, and m ang led the poet dogs hich Were set upon him by their cruet masters. The Committee used every filtql OS to impress per sons, possessing influence and authority, with the odious and inhuman character of this mis-named pastime ; and it is gratifying to state, that those efforts 'lave led, in corny instances, to' the sup. pression of so disgraceful and unmanly a practice. The persons who have encouraged it hate beetf , shamed into silence ; while Magistrates and other have interposed to put down meetings evidently calculated to produce disturbance to the public peace, and danger to the lives and limbs of indivio duals. From these facts it may not be unrea sonable to conclude, that there is a ground to hope for an entire abolition of bull-baiting, at no distant peribd, throughout our country. What ha , been said of bull-baiting may be applied to simi lar diversions, such as hear-baiting, badger-bait iug, and cock-fighting. They all alike spring from the indulgence of au unfeeling barbarity ; they, have all alike been denounced and decreed by the principles of the-society ; and they are all alike becoming dolly leSs frequent. The course of these observations neX't lead to a topic of a very interesting nature, connected with a different branch of the labourS Of the Society. The cruel ties hitherto . considered, have borne upon the face of them no pretence of extenuation or excuse, on the ground of any real and solid advatitageS which they Might. be supposed to produce. But it could not .but be known, that there are cases in which a won't Of natural tenderness cloaked itself under . the pretence of a love of science, and a desire' to promote the pub lic good. This assembly will be aware that certain barbarous and, disguSting scenes haVe takeu place in public lecture rooms, were animals . have been tOrtured; with studied ingenuity, as it were, to show off the dexteritr of the executioner, and to extort applatise from the astonished, but unfeeling spectators. The Com mittee will not shock the ears of this audience, with a detail of the horrid tortdres to whiCh animalS of every species hare been expoied, sometimes by causing them to faint and recover many times by the application of gases, or the force of the air-pumps, sometimes by submerging them under Water, sometime by exposing them to the bite of venomous reptiles, trom which nature teaches 'them to recoil with instinctive terror, sometimes by bleeding them to death, sometimes by galvanic experiMents oti their muscles, nerves, -and brains, and sometimes by nailing them down to a table, and cutting them up alive. Even this brief odtline Must be horrible to . a feeling mind f what would it be, if you were to sit for hours wit nessing the callousness of the Operater, and the screams and convulsions df the poor mangled ani mal. The Committee were sensible that considera tions of mdch delicacy miffed thernselVes up with this question.. They felt that it would not become them to stand forward rashly in the face of the public and accuse every person Who might try phy sical experiments on living animals of cruelty; they knew that men of. high name, particularly in the medical profession, had taken part in some such operations: and they were therefore unwil ling to conclude that there might not possibly be limits within which those experiments might be justified by the practical benefit derivable froin them to medical science. Actuated by these con siderations, the Committee has desired letters to be addressed to the principal practitioners in medicine and surgery hi the metropolis and other parts of the kingdom, requesting their opinion whether such a justification of the 'practice in question could be supposed to exist. The answers' received from those gentlemen were extremely candid and liberal ; and to some of the most re markable passages in those communications, the Committee feel it impottant to call the partiCillar attention of the present Meeting. This assembly will readily participate in the satisfaction df the Committee on finding the opinions of these distinguished persons so congenial with the views which they themselves entertained. If no other result had followed from the for. mation of the Society, than the bringing for: ward, under such Sanction, sentiments, replete with candour and benevolence, it could not be said that this Institution had been formed in vain. The passages already cited will remain upon re cord for the guidance , of futdre students, who will be ashamed to deviate from rules so distinctly, and at the same time so eloquently, laid down by these eminent members of an enlightened and beta' profession. Bdt the case does not rest here. The CoMmittee have received a declara: tion front Bath, signed by thirtpeight Physician§ and Surgeons, and one from 'Newcastle-upon- Tyne, signed by twenty-nine, ail of whom engage by their example, influence, and disSnasidit to dis countenance those cruel anatomical experiments upon living animals, which, to thegi disgrace Of sci ence as they say, are Made sometimes withent utili iy, and freqdently without any adequate end, un der the pretence of promoting medic'al science ;" and they earnestly recommend this subject to the serious consideration of all stu d ents in anatomy, entreating them, under a sense of moral prin ciple, not to be misled by the practiCes of ethers who have thoUghtlessly, but unfortunately, de graded researches otherwise so meritorious and important. Thus may we venture to believe that their labours, during the last twelvemonth, have produced a salutary impression on two very different classes of strcie'ty : they have inditced the drover to remit big brutality,- and they have taught the medical stude'nt that cruelty was no essential requisite to his professional pursuits.— ' The general effect - on the Public mind has not been less gratifying. We have been cheered by the approbation of the virtuous, the wise, and enlightened ; and we have had occasion to learn that many persons, formerly unused to reflettiOn and -the government of temper, in their treatment of inferior anitrials, have, by the - publicity given to the proceedings of this Society, been In d ti feel the pro priety and the duty of a different conduct ; thus demonstrating that the seeds of humanity, though dormant in the heart fora While, may yet be elicited by proper cultiiation. Perhaps a more unequivocal proof of moral improvement among such men, cannot well be afforded than this, that some of the very individuals before al ducted to,. who were associated in ttie rudest PRICE SEVEr;IPEN ‘ tt offices of life connected with the care of cattle, and who partook of the coarseness and aspeiity of their companions, have actually become Mem bers of this Society.—The Committee are far from claiming to themselves the merit of those beneficial changes which have been „produced to relation to the conduct of individual's towards the anfmal creation. They feel that the main_ and . principal cause of such a moral improvement is ov%ing to the existence of this Society ; but they also feel, and they deem it a duty to acknowlechts, that incalculable benefit has resuliie from the mannei. in Which the people at large have been awakened to this branch of their duties by the voice of Religion sounding from the pulpit, and by several able productions of the periodical press. Let all efforts conspire, in this labour of love and dislnterested benevolence, to produce one .htimanNing and grateful result. Let us not be weary in well doing,. hilt go on as long as there remains any Such blot on the .character of our country, .as itihurnifrity or cruelty in any shape, If it be shown to the, lowest of the eta. mal tribes, it is in the heart, and, assoredly it will bring, forth its fruits of bitterifess , to our fa milies, our friends, and our country. The Corn mittee.cannot close this Report without announc ing, that_ they have received information of A Branch SoCiety; which is about to be established at Wakefield, and another at Liverpool. of nearly forty years, fallen into such a ruinous state, that it can no longer be inhabited without extensive repairs, and is so far gone as to be unworthy of being restored. It may be so re paired as to be occupied for a short time, but must soon be abandoned. 2. But even were the building in a more perfect condition, it is now no longer sufficiently large to accommodate the increas ing number of students, or tit for the dignified purpose to which it is appropriated, as the established U n iv ers ity o f a very rising Colony. The population of the Diocese of Nova Scotia is becoming daily more numerous, and the demand for a liberal education is, in consequence, proportionally enlarged. Men of sound reli gious principles and extensive acquirements are wanted for every department, but particularly for the ministry in the Church of Christ. An official Report, just received,slieWs that in one of the five Provinces which are included within the Diocese, only six teen Clergymen are scattered over the immense ext e nt of 27,000 square miles, where the population is increasing wonderfully every year. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel has, at this moment, occasion for more than fifty additional Missionaries in the North Ametican Colonies alone; and the formation of the two West Indian Bishoprics, and the earnest endeavours which are iid wisely 'taking for the spiritual instruc tion of the Negro slaves, are likely to render King's College of still more importance and use. They certainly render its pre- - sent building arid its present means, altogether unfit and unequal to answer its present and probable future opportunities of doing good. 3. Without any imputation of improper hostility to other forms of doctrine and Church government, it may be fairly stated to those who love their own holy faith and discipline, this if the College at Windsor be not supported by the pious ndt benevolent, an attachment to the principles of the Church of England and of our happy Constitution must, in Nova Scoria, decline. There are other establishments rising up, which are not Conducted upon the same principles, and from them even the children of the members of the Church of Eng land must, if this university fall, be compelled to derive their education. Or, if they do not resott to the dissenting establish ments of Nova Scotia, they must gather their knowledge and form their sentiments in the Republican Colleges of the United States Of America. Thus nurtured and instructed, it is natural to conceive that they will imbibe opinions which are anything but favourable to the religious and political institutions of Eng land. It is impossible to Writhe others who conscientiously endea vour to propagate their own views of the Gospel and govern ment, even *here they differ from our own ; but surely if we have any reverence for our own, or any real belief in their truth and excellence, we must conscientiously contribute to prevent the utter ruin of at) University, which is their principal. support in a very important Pro Vince of the empire. We shall do our utmost to provide a sound Episcopal branch of the Church of Christ in, America, with the means of educating for itself, what it so greatly wants, a succession of sound Episcopal ministers. • Impressed. with these considerations the Society for the Pro pagation of the Gospel has founded scholarships for the educa tion of Clergymen. and granted 500/. to relieve the exiffencies of the College. The Society for Promoting Christian trials, ledge has also made a donation Of 5001. for the ,teligions objects of the Institution; and several distingilished Indivi duals have followed the example. But to give some temporary repair to the present Building, so that it may be used until another is completed ; to engage in the erection of a new and sufficient edifice ; to provide ad. ditional Professors, Tutors, and Scholarships ; to furnish the necessary Philosophical Apparatus and Books ' •—these are ob jects, to which the Subscriptions already received are extremely inadequate. It is, therefore, to enlarge these funds, and procure additional Subscriptions and Donations front the liberality of those who are interested in the progress of science and the pro pagation of sound religious, and moral, and political principles, that the Governors of King's College have ventured to make an appeal which` they are sure may be properly, and hope will not be unsuccessfully made: „ , Contributions in money, books, and "philosophical appatatiis of every kind, will be most thankfully received by Sir Scrope Bernard Morland, Ban. M.P., 50, Pall Mall, who has been the kind Agent of King's College for many years. Other friends of the Institution, in different places, will forward the object of this Address, and supply information to' those who may re quire it. During his short stay in England, the Bishop of Nova Scotia will gladly afford this information, upon application to him at 200, Piccadilly. It may likewise be obtained from the Secre tary to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, 42, Castle ttreet, Leicester-square ; from the Secretaries to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, Lincoln's-inn-Fields ; and at Cambridge from the Lord Bishop of Bristol, and the Rev. the Masters of Trinity and St. John's Colleges.

FRENCH INSOLENCE AT CADIZ. ;We have already given au account of some recent proCeedings at Cadiz in which in English merchant was subjected to v e ry improper,treata tneat by a French General. ' le fol l owi ng tl • Statement in an .Evening Paper of yesterday, given on the authority of its correspondent at Cadiz, is confirmatory of the letters on the sub ject which have already appeared Tim Stir; : " On Monday,, the 11th 1825, Mr. received . Polite letter from Cpunt Ferriere, a Naval Officer commanding a French vessel of War in the Bay of Cadiz, stating that he had received a billet from the Ayuntamienta; but that, preyious to taking possession of his lodgingl; he had thought proper to send his boatswain en shore to -examine them. lie stated that he should require a separate kitchen. counting-house,.&c. Mr. replied in terms eqbally polite to the Count, re gretting that it would not be in his power toliave the honour of receiving him, as. he had removed nearly all his furniture over to Port St. Mary% and that he had given up the house in which he then was. The following day an individual from the Ayuntamienta called, in Mr, —'s absence, in company with Count Ferrieres boatswain, and 'Was informed by 111 r. clerk,_ that they might examine the house, and CODe vince themselves that it, was, impossible to receive the Count, in consequence of there not being any furnittfre in the house. " The individual from the Aluntamienta expressed himself satisfied, and told the boatswain to inform his master that ha had better procure another, billet. On the following day, the 13th of July, a corporal and four or five French soldiers took possession of Mr. —'s hoise, and kept him and all in the house prisoners for nearly two hours. A French Officer then called, and, ingoiring for the master of the house, said to hini, command come here by the comand of the krentli GoVernment, to know whether you will receive Count Ferriere or not ?' _Mr. replied, that he could not receive him, for reasons,which he had stated by letter to the Count, and verbally to the Ayun tamienta.
