CHURCH' L'ISSThM4Ry SOCIETY.
I Prom the flivepool Cotir'ite et-Wednesday:l
The Annual Meeting of the Church Missionary Society was
. held last night in the Musie-ball, which was crowded to an over-
flow.
The Rev. ROBERT PEnnsa Dunn:eon was called to the
Chafe, and addressed the Meeting in a short speech.
The Rev. W. RAWSON, one of the Sect:manes of the Auxiliary
Society, then read a very satisfactory and cheering 'report of the
proceedings of the parent I:isthmian and its auxiliary during the
ply-erling year.
The Meeting was afterwards addressed, at great length, Fr seve-
ral Rev. Gentlemer..
The Rev. G. C. Dnirrtre.n, of Present, enfireed ills necessity
of {wares to Almighty God, tar the smear of Ilisslonery effort* ;
mid related an interesting anecdote of • poor negro who had reached
England, and been boomed into tie Christian Church.
• fire Rev. T. Woonaor4-r, of Drayton, Ostonbhire, sue.
einctly reviewed the success which had attended the Society's el-
forts in preceding years, and called upon. its friends-to renew and
to Increase their exertions in the same glorious cause for the future.
The Rev. HUGH STowEt.t., of Ltallaughwin the Isle of Man,
expatiated with his characteristic ability on 'he necessity of edu-
cation to the youthful mind, not merely editcation In the worldly
knowledge, bet in the principles of genuine Christianity.- The
Rev. Gentleman narrated several pleasing anecdotes in the couise
of his stseeCh.
The *Re-.. T. BART LETT, one of the Secretaries of the Parent
lnstit'itinn, took a comprehensive retrospect of the wide and ex-
tended field of exertion occupied by the Society in Asia, Africa.
and America ; and read a variety of extracts of letters received
from the Missionaries at the various stations, all of which showed
the gratifying progress which Christian knowledge is making
throughout the Reuben world. The Rev. Gentleman, in the con.
clusioo of his speech, contrasted the moral state of the world;
before the light of Christianity penetrated its darkness, with its
present state ; and showed, that the Gospel which had raised this
end other nations of Christendom from the depths of ignorance of
superstition, and idolatry, had lost none of its divine potency,. Ile
depleted in strong language the degraded state of the Wombs
throughout the Heathen world, and announced thee.* distinct
Society had been formed in London, the funds of wisieli it was in-
tended to devote to the lifting them froin the deseedatton In which
they were now sunk.
The Rev. P. il'aok, of Kilkenny...lfeland, addressed the
Meeting in an impressive speech.
The Rev. J. Jones, Minister AT St. Andrew's Church, spoke
nazi, and the excellence sod weight of his observations seemed to
make • deep impresaion on the minds of the auditory.',
Several other Clergymen end Laymen addressed the Meeting,
which did not break op until a late hour.
HIGHBURY COLLEGE.

The foundation atone of the new College to educate young men
for the Ministry among the Dissenters of the Independent deno.
mination was laid at Iliy,hbury-park on Tuesday last by Thomas
Wilson, Esq., the Treasurer of the Society.
The Academy had been situated st Iloxton since the year 1721,
under the name of Iloxton Academy, and was found inadequate for
the purpose, in regard to convenience, space occupied, and salu-
brity, which has induced the benevolent individual who superin-
tended the business of the day to present four acres of freehold
ground to the Institution, the coat of which amounted to 2,0110
guineas, and will in future be tl.:signated Higlibury College.
The building is intended to correspond with the times in regard to
architecture, attd in a situation for prospect, 'salubrity, and comfort,
adapted to the health of the Students, and the purposes of the
College.
After the usual .ceretnonies, depositing the comms of the realm, and I
the plate, with the following inscription.,—
" This foundation stone of a building, erected by voluntary con.
tributions, for the purposes of an Academy, sometime at Houton,
namely, for affording gratuitous cd tcation, in sacred and userul
literature and science, to young men of piety and good talents,
who desire to improve their qualifications for preaching the Gospel
among Christians of the Independent denomination, was hid by
Thomas Wilson, Es& for more than thirty years the faithful
Treasurer and liberal 'Benefactor, June 23, A.S. 1826, in the
Pros_Jerous reign Of George the Fourth."
The Rev. George Clayton, of SS'alworth, delivered an inaugural
address, and the Rev. Joseph Fletcher, of Stepney, an appropriate
prayer. The ministers and gentlemen dined at Canonbury House.,
Islington. After thinner a beautiful model of the intended edifice
was exhihited, and the Chairman, Thomas Wilson, Esq. explained
the various departments, and the uses of them.
The General Meeting was held at the same place, and appropri.
ate 'speeches were delivered by the• Rev. George Border, I)rs. Mor-
rison and Styles, the 11ev. H. B. Jenla of Greenwich, J. Morrison
of Chelsea, J. Blackburn of Pentonville, Dr. Barris, the theologi-
cal tutor, the Rev. R. Barton of Somers-town, and J. Atkinson
of Southampton. The sum of 30001. received, was reported at the
close; and the amount of 20,000/. la expected to be raised by vo.l
luotsry contribution, to defray the erection of the building.

PUBLIC DINNER
~.1...----

[From the Freeman's Journal of Tuesday.]
The splendid room in the Frermasms'-hall, Dawson-street, was
yesterday a scene of gayety and ttu!y rational entertainment, on the
occasion of the annual dinner of the friends and subscribers to the
Denmark-street Orphan and Daily Schools. The company
amounted to seventy-six.
The Chair was filled by D. O'Cotx NELL, Esq.
" The King" was the first least given.
Mr. O'CoNitaaa, said tint( " tong life" to his Majesty was new
of the deepest interest to us all. It was 'wild to contemplate ary
premature accident that might deprive us of our present stay and
hope, and we should look with a steady and unwinking eye to our
situation. " Long lite to the King" was reiterated through the
room with loud, and certainly sincere and heartfelt, plaudits.
Song—" Clod pave the King," Mr. Morrippon.
" Old Ireland."

said, that a fearful combination was fcrmel
against this country., but it was in our own power to ret,der it
harmless as the screams of the sea-gull. We had spent nearly
seven hundred years in dissension ; and it was now clear that,
unless with unanimity, them was no prospect of a tcrminatiou to
such a state of things.
Song, " Irish Oak."—Mr. Mcirrisson.
" The Duke of Sussex."

In eulogizing this distinguished character, Mr. O'Cowxtr.r.
said, that his Royal Highness was the liberal and enlightened
patron of charity. Ile had established a system of well-regulated
economy, that left him not only able to pay his debts without
calling upon the nation for eleemosynary grants, but he was
enabled to extend a portion of his income to the relief of suffering
humanity. His tradesmen were never disappointed, nor was he
himself in any danger of having the horse upon which he rode
grasped by the hands of a bailiff, to satisfy a pecuniary demand.
(Loud plaudits.)
The Marquis Wellesley."
The CHAIRMAN said, we were much indebted to the Noble.
Marquis fir his vote by proxy in support of the Relief Bill.
Though that Bill not exactly such as could be wished, after the
Lords Lieutenant that we had seen, it was something cheering to
see the head of the Irish Government voting for Catholic Eman.
cipation under any fain. The Marquis Wellesley had succeeded
in tranquillizing this country; and our enemies may be assured
that, without violating the law, the most strenuous exertions would
be made in the cause of freedom. (Great applause.)
Song fir. Walsh.
" The Catholic Hierarchy."
Mr. O'CoNNELL painted the virtues of this amiable an 1 pious
body in glowing colours. So clear, and so ingenious were the an.'
ewers of the Catholic Bishops In the recent examinations, that It
was not found necessary to expunge a single line. What a con.'
trast did this present to another famous interrogation at the opposit!,
aide I Although the Catholic Prelates were, from the earliest
period, distinguished for their piety and zeal, they never stood'
higher than at present. (Long continued approbation.)
The Rev. Mr. Isldsruastoe returned thanks for the preceding
testimonies of confidence in the Catholic Prelacy, and lie could say
with truth, that every member of that venerated body was ready to
lay down his life in support of that faith upon which the lustre of
their virtues had reflected such credit.

The heath of John Finlay, Esq. being given, the Rev. Mr.
Griffiths said, that professional business prevented him from at-
witting as Vice-Chuirman, and he (.Mr. G.) was called upon to
fill his place. Than Mr. Finlay, there was not a more enlightened
or liberal Protestant existing. He could not better conclude, than
by proposing the health of their worthy Chairman. Here the ac-
' claniattons were continued so long. that it was a considerable time
before Mr O'Connell could obtain a hearing, for the purpose of
returning thanks.
" The Attorney-General."
Mr. O'CowtatEnt. was very warm in his praises of Mr. Plunkett.
He said he was always a friend to Catholic Emancipation, an
enemy to the Union, and that we should never forget, that when the
question was under discussion, he said. "if British eonnexion
were an injury to Ireland, he would give his allegisrlce to the
winds."
Mr. O'Coxxxt.r. took occasion to advert to Mr. Bellew's
opinion upon the late act respecting the Catholic Association. He
could not see any necessity for his giving this opinion, and without
being called upon, or without getting any fee! Formerly Mr. B.
had extolled the Catholic Association to the skies—now he saw
nothing but danger in any thing of a similar nature. But it was
very true, that Mr. Bellew had made great efforts to get himself
nominated on the Committee of twenty-one. Had he succeeded he
never would have thought of giving to the world this celebrated
opinion. All he (Mr. O'Connell) regretted was, that file Izt
'twenty-four hours pass without giving his own opinion, and he'
would so far imitate 3lr. Bellew in not requiring any fee for it.

Allan, the painter, whose picture of the Death if the
Regent Murray has been purchased for 800 guineas, by
the Duke of Bedford, has had two others bespoken by
the Marquis of Bute, of which the subjects arc to be taken
from Scottish history.
The forthcoming work of Milton. called De Doetrinn
ChriAtiona, will excite a good deal of astonishment among
the admirers of the poet. The work consists of certain
propositions, on which the writer argues• at length, and
which he enforces and illustrates by quotations from the
Scriptures. The publication of this book will prove
Milton to be what he never was suspected of being—an
Arian.—Nett. Monthly Magazine.
Major-Gencral Taylor's head-quarters are to be fixed at
Belfast; Sir C. Bingham's at Cork ; and Major-tieneral
Thoruton's at Athlone.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, THURSDAY, JUNR 38.
.11ENNETT V. I,IIIOIIT.
This was an action brought to recover a balance of an account
due to the plaintiff lot work and labour done by him for the de.
Pendant.
.
It appeared by the evidence that the plaintiff is A bud
had been employed Ly the defendant, s:ho is the widow of an of-
ficer of rank in the army, to do some repairs in her house, for which,
at the plaintiff's own request, he was to receive some furniture
which the defendart had to dispose of at a fair price, instead of
money. Some difficulty at first occurred about the price to be set
ppan the goods, but the plaintiff at length topk them at a valuation
less (as it was proved) titan what w furniture-broker would have
',given for them for the purpose of selling vain. When the
work was finished the plaintiff produced his bill, end aceordirg
to that it appeared there was a balance in favour of the defendant r
but this she was willing to give up. The plaintiff; however, do.
mantled to be paid a balance, insisting that the goods had been ra-
llied too highly. The defendant ranged the demand, and the co:-
sequence was that the plaintiff tholight proper to continence the
present action.
The only eircurty!•ahce peculiar in this casa was the conduct
the plaintiff's attorney and one of lila wiiheeSes.
This witness (a sham bail) was called by Mr. Guns EY, to prove
the adults:don of thedebt by the defendant et the t!o:o of tenting
her with the notice of declaration.
On his cross-examination . •
Mr. SOant.r.vr —lle admitted that he had obtained an inter,
view with the defendant, by writing to her an anonymous letter.
order to serve her with the writ. Ile denied that he demanded
lialf-a-crownfrorn her, but admitted that he said to her, the
as he was very thirsty, he should like to have a glass of brandy
and water, and that the defendant gave him a half crown instead.
which it...afterwards give to the plaintiff's attorney.
Mr. Scan LETT—What is your proftlaion, sir?
11itnesr—That is a question Which you have no right to ask
me, Mr. Scadett, It is altogether irrelevant tc the cause now before
the Court..

•
SCAIIitTT repeated the quesdoh.
Witness—Why, I am a server of writs by mansion, M jett
call, and I should be very glad to serve you with one.
After some other very Insoient replies, the C04711T told the wit-
ness that if he did not answer the questions in a decorous and pro-
per manner, he should be committed to prison.
The witness then said he had been a draper, tut did not knew
how long ie•waa since he had leFt of that business. though he had
nn objection to swear that it was not six years. Re had been ex.
quainted with the pinintiff 's attorney for about 16 months; and
was employed by several other attorneys occasionally.
Mr. SCARLETT then addressed the Jury on the part of tee de.
fendant, and commented with great severity on the impudence of
the last witness. [This witness was then standing ditectly oppo-
site the Learned Counsel, and was making the meat insolent gesturce
at hirml The Learned Counsel cautioned Jinn not to be found
guilty of the infamous conduct he had practiced agairtt the defend.
ant a second time, as he would stand a good chance of being trans.
pore!. The Learned Counsel then stated the defence which he
should be, able to establish, and which v..ould entitle the defendant
to a verdict. He should prove that the defendant's attorney had
called upon the pl.iintitra attorney, and proposed to go through the
accounts, and had offered that if be did not satisfy film (the plain.
tiff's attorney) that a balance was due to the deferiffant, lee would
immediately pay the costs and settle the action. The plaintiff%
attorney refused this offer, and said that as he seas indemnified hie
costs, he should go to trial, let whatever be the verdict.
Miss Knight, daughter of the defendant, was then called, who
proved that the last witness obtained access to her mother by means
of an anonymous letter; that he served her with a copy of a writ ;
and afterwards with a notice of declaration • that he demanded the
money for it ; and when her mother said site would take back the
goods and pay the plaintiff his bill, he placed his back against the
door and said the money should be paid before he left the room.
and then he would talk about the goods afterwards; lie said that
she was a swindler, and that there was a nest of swindlers in the
house; and lie then used some very gross language, after which,
when her mother had given him the half crown he left the house.
This witness also proved the nature of the contact botween the
plaintiff and the defendant.
Mr. George flunce, the defendant's attorney, was called, Ard
proved that he waited on the plaintiff's attorney and proposed to
inspect the accounts, and if there was no balance due to the defend-
ant, he would pay the costs and settle the action. That is the
gentleman (pointing to Mr. Pinero, who was then speaking with
Mr. Gurney).
Mr. SCARLETT—And what did he any to that ?
Mr. fir consent to be ronsuited.
The witness was about to answer the question, when—
M. OURNF.Y interrupted him and said, you have no rigit to

Mr. SCAD.I.ETT then folded up his inief and sat down.
