Sheriff Vex *SLIM was glad at being allowed
MI opportunity to support the objects of the So-
tiety. The stream of eloquence which they had
just heard bad horne away all their topics, nod
little was left Inui except en reverence of cordial
essoperation. There was one point which hr con-
sidered to be of vital importance. The feeling as
to the necessity of education, and the best means
er d i flu •i o g it amoug the lower classe, was general :
be thought that the objects of this Society were
peculiarly connected with that subject. It rust
be highly desirable, when the educittion was given,
to insure a good use of it by inculcatiug au inti-
mate knowledge of the Scriptures.
The Rev. Dr. Taoism: expatiated on the nature
and objects of the Society. and defended it with
some very expert logic from several imputations
which had been thrown on it, especially that of its
conducing to the overthrow of Church and Stale,
which he considered to be the most extraordinary,
inasmuch as they were in the constant habit of in-
viting and receiving the attendance of Ministers of
State on these occasions. He concluded by de-
scribing the treat increase in the transactions of
the Society, and strongly recommendiug the objects
of it to the farther patronage of the useosing.
Sir C. S. HUNTER congratulated the meeting es
the fulness and respectability of it, es also on the
attendance of the Lord Mayor, and himself. on
hairiag been is the Chair as Chief Magistrate at the
time of its ismnitutioia. He had before that only
teed the Bible as • scheel-boy ; mince then he had
Mit it mere ~needy. and had never quitted it
since. and be now felt that it would be a source of
comfort and coneolatioo to him to the rod of Ins.

Oaring mem& the object of its chastises from
the evtabliehuseut of hospitals and alms-houses
(pima sefeseie(r to the wants and diseases " which

inferior aster') to the diffusion of religions
knowledge, sud breaking the chains of heathen-
ism
and bigotry—mote to he deplored than the
yoke of slavery, from which enlightened and humane
senators bed sought to relrese the African negro. In
reply to the prejudices which had been set up against
the Society at having object■ inimical to the State
and the Hierarchy. he quoted that part of the ritual
of the King's Coronation, wherein the Archbishop
presented him with a Bible as the best good which
this world afforded, and tie only. tnerns of making
him really wise unto salvation.
The Rev. T. MORTIMER, of St. Olive's, South-
wark, considered the !present meeting to be one of
unusual interest. Looking abroad upon public
events, their uncertainty formed • consideration of
awful importance. He thought it plainly to be in-
ferred, especially from Greece and Turkey, that
the world was upon the eve of • great crisis, and
that a way, "a highway," was preparing for the'ad-
vanceme•t of the religion of Jeans. He remarked
upon the immense advantages of power and know-
ledge enjoyed by the British kingdoms, mid espe-
cially upon that I►ower which they possessed from
their empire in the East and West, of becoming
chiefly instrumental in the promulgation of the
.Gos-
pel toe!! nutionr, kindred'', and tongues. He con-
gratulated them on having outlived the malignant
heireda of religions coutrove►•y, end being enabled,
notwithstanding their faithful sittachment to sepa-
rate religious 'principles, to unite in the spirit of
Christianity ou behalf of this labour of love towards
their fellow-creatures, He wished to relate a sim-
ple anecdote connected with the objects of die So-
ciety, which had come to his knowledge. A poor
woman in the country earned 6rl. per week. besides
her cottage room, clothes. and vosteinince, by keep.
ing the porter's lodge. In a month she had saved
up Is. 3d., which she gave to time collector of the
Society toward■ a Bible and Testament. He made
up the remainder, and then asked her how she had
contrived to save so much money out of such small
resources. She replied that it was through going
without her tea. which had lost all its sweetness
instil she got Ito:session of her Bible and Testa-
ment.

Mr. J. Jaws observed, that he 17114 almost
as good a right to complain as the out% di-
vele who admitted Dr. Barrow to be a very
great prescher, but thought him rather us. un-
fair oue, inasmuch as he had left nothing for
any other clergyman to preach upon. He wish-
ed the rich to be iuvited to copy the example .
of the poor woman whose case they hid bees.

of America. Uu the other hand, there art a gentle.
mon pretent from Africa, who, from insuimount.

them that the good cause was tempering in that
port of the globe, and to assure them of the gra-
titude felted:trued by himself tied others immedi-
ately interested, towards the Society, for their u•-

mg, as they did, the zeal of those who were come
monly called Heathees, lie costa not but recoin.
mend the Society to redouble its euergies, lest
they should lose the start which they had at first
fake's.
Colonel BRANDT'S, who had been standing in a
pasture of very interestisig weakness, nutwithstaud-
ing the warlike *vetoer of his habiliments, now
addressed the suet-tine, assuring them of the grafi- •
tude of himself and iodine brethren, for the es- •
sistance which they hail received iu propugatiog
the light yr the Gospel. Ile anticipated the great
pleasure he *bald communicate by bearing home •
the intelligence of so full mid respectable a meet-
iug, hawing been held with a view to the good of
his countrymen and mankind at large. He hoped
that Almighty God would uu.ivt them, and secure
theta success in their great and pious undertaking.
Dr. WARDLAW, of Glasgow, took occasion is
area on the validity of the Holy Writings, which,
betides their iutrinsie evidenCe, had this extraordi-
nary plea to support it, viz. that if rejected fur want
of it, the same reason would coefound the llRlltorlty
41611 the poem, historians, and Obitosoprieni,-Which
had Coale down the stream of time, in company with
the Biblical writings. 'He added another argument,
which he conceived would prove a wry difficult
one fur infidelity to get over. Flow came it to
pass that the writings of a I.Ar übscere fisher-
men of Galilee should have become the theme and
topic of religious belief and controversy, of doc-
trinist dispute and logical meaning, for more than
eighteen centuries—and that it should moreover •
have produced, during the whole of that time, such.
extrusive and 'important effects on the government
of States and the aff'irs of muakind ? Surely
scepticism itself must admit that such a circum.
stance, of itself, formed a miracle in the moral
and intellectual economy of the world. He very . .
- ingeniously explained the eff:ete which the art of
printing and the estahlishmesit of Bible Societies
had brought about in conducing to the prevalence
of that influence. These effects were a subject bf
glorious anticipation to the Christian. They were
not limited to the sphere of the earth or the dont-
tam of time, nr contingent on the preservation of
the system. The eye of Hope towed them on-
wards into boundless eternity :
" Eternal Hope! ere yonder spheres sublime
Peal'd their first notes to sound the march ahem.,
Thy joyous pilafs began—but nut to fade—
When all the sister photts have der ;
When, wrapt in Gee, the realms of ether glow,
And heaven last thunders shake the worlds below,
Thula, undismayed, shalt o'er the reins smile,
And light thy lurch at Nature's funeral pile."
Mr. GeRRATT, Barrister at Law, stepped forward
to apologize for his brother's (Alderman and Sheriff)
absence. He read a letter from the worthy Sheriff'
for that purpose, which contained his donation of
ten guineas to the objects of the Society.
The Rev. J. MORRISON recommended that the
Mintier of the Society should be mainly left Open
the Ludtes, whose certainty of acting upon their
impulses in this labour of love was more to be de-
pended upon.
The Rey. J. B. WA HLI N. Chaplain to the King
el Sweden, spoke as follows Reis with inesitat.
• tan, although with gratitude, I accept the honour
-61 addressing aii assembly, uniting so many great
land venerable objects, which serve at mire to go•
courage and dishearteir the stranger. Your kind.
;laires, however, ha removed my fears, and. I.

of that heartfelt gratitude which my native eettiiti
entertains for your Christian liberality, in whoa

different to foreigners and monopolists of even
Virtue berself. Your • Bible and Missionary
Societies are the best refutation of such sit
assertion, and wherever your chums of liberality
of principles he contested, there will I; fur
one, declare myself your champion. My Lord,
it is a heart-rejoicing sight to witness the geotrel
religious interest which pervades all classes of this
highly-favoured land, where the Princesses, the
Nobles, and the First Officers take the lead to set-
ting their countryineu a bright example. Your
Lordship's presence here is au evidence thereof.
