On Tuesday morning last the Lord Bishop of Ely held his Vi-
sitation in the parish church of Ehatteris, when 49 youtig persons
of both sexes were confirmed. After the ceremony his Lordship
se; ofrfor March and Whittlesea, to perform the same ceremony at
both places that day.
On the same day the Sixth Anniversary Meeting of the Branch
Bible Society was held at fladdenham; the Rev. Mr. Hall, of St.
John's Coll. in the chair ; who opened the business of the day in a
neat and highly appropriate speech, delivered in the spirit of the'
gospel, stating the great good that had been done by the Parent In-
stitution, in sending the word of God, without note or comment,
to heathen nations; and that the possession of that word was the
cause of all those blessings that we, the inhabitants of this highly.
favoured island, were in the daily enjoyment of. For if the inhabr.
ants of heathen nations were idolaters, were not our forefathers the
same? and we owed it to nothing but the introduction of that inva-
luable blessing amongst us that we were found in so much more
enviable situations. 'file resolutions were moved and seconded by
the Rev. Messrs. Drake, Harris. Green. Maid, and Sandiford ;
Messrs. Tebbutt, William and Edward Camps. The Rev. Chair.
malt closed the business of the meeting by exhorting his hearers,
but particularly the ladies, who were at all times ready in every
' good work, to come forward in aid of the Lord in the,god-like
work, and to remember what an honour the Almighty was putting
on them in calling upon them to be his fellow-workers in help-
ing in the gond cause.
The company was very respectable: the collection amounted to
about eleven pounds.

CAMBRIDGE TOWN SESSIONS, MONDAY, JOLT 1).

The Dizettre-RtconnEa,7; his charge, congratulated the
Grand Jury on so respectable and numerous an attendance. He
should never cease to deplore that, on a former occasion, the Court
had found it necessary to vindicate its authority in this respect. He
was extremely happy to observe, on looking over the calendar, that
there was no case of peculiar atrocity, nor one that presented any
legal difficulty which needed explanation from him. But there
was one circumstance connected with the calendar which called
for some observations. It contained the names of ten delinquents,
five of whom were under ten years of age. He knew not to what
these numerous instances of early delinquency, in a place which
ought to set a moral example to all others, could be ascribed. Ile
had no reason to think that education had been neglected ; but
whether it arose from the circumstance of greater temptation being
in the way of youth, from the neglect or the profligacy of tile
parents, or from any other cause, they, as good citizens, would en-
deavour to trace the evil to its true source. The Learned Deputy
then adverted to the pending topic of a town gaol, and said that new
and unexpected difficulties had sprung up, and had presented them-
selves in almost every shape, but he assured the Jury that the Cor-
poration had not for a moment lost sight of the subject, that it was
to them one of unceasing anxiety, and they were unsleeping in
their vigilance, in their attempt to supply this, he must call it, pub-
lic necessity.

Last week, a woman happening to pace through a nail
near Bruit, in the county of Limerick, to which was a bull, was
gored to death by the animal ; and what is remarkable, she was on
her way to the Sessions to prosecute the owner of it for an assault.
An inquest was held at Armitage, on the body of T.
Gibson, a boy about six years of age, who fell out of allay waggon,
by which he was so much bruised as to shed blood from his ears,
nose, and mouth, and after languishing fora week, expired of the
injury thus received.
Yesterday morning, the body of a voting man, drowned,
was picked up on the Surrey side of the 'River, near the Patent
Shot Manufactory, and instantly conveyed to Christ Church Work.
house, for a Coroner's Jury. The deceased is supposed to be one
of the unfortunate sufferers, among many, who lost their lives m
Sunday last, while bathing.
