CHRISTI.IN 2"REATY.

In our Paper of Jane to, we have noticed this Treaty,
which was is ;t year concluded at Paris by the Emperors
of Austria and Rossi'', and the King of Prussia, as ex-
plained by Mr. Vansittart at the annual meeting of the
Bible Society, in his Speech on the motion to print their Report.
Hat the Minister did not condescend to explain the legal anti
constitutional difficulties to which he Winded, as preventing our
Sovereign from uniting iu, though they did not prevent him
►rota fully concurring in its spirit and principles ; and if nothing
more WAS designed, than is comprehended in this explanation,
it wus to promote the diffusion of the Holy Scriptures through-
out their ropective dominions.
Mr. Bunting, in the 4-Gorse of a long and very Inminons ad-
dress on the motion to thank the Secretaries, gave the follow-
ing tribute of praise to our revered Sovereign " I hope that
is not improper to express my opinion, that the peculiarly
i gious character whieli has marked the life and reign of Geo.
the Third, is a circumstance a Lich, under the blessing of God,
has most materially contributed to uphold the interests and
Influence of the Bible iu the present age. At a period, when
the infidel rollers of some continental nations were actively com-
bining their efforts with those of pretended philosophers, and
plotting the destruction otChristianity ; hew mischievous must
have been the consegnences, humanly speaking, if our Sove-
reign had adopted similar views, and embarked in similar anti-
ehristian projects. Happily for this Empire, and happily for
Europe and the world, whose moral prosperity sec ms to be in
a great manner dependent on on the state or.moral feeling and
energy in our country. George the Third was a Christian on
principles and has employed, in various ways, the influence of
his exalted station in the patronage and maintenanre of true
religion and virtue. It has been stated in print, although not
so generally known perhaps as such a fact deserves to be,
that on the publication of Dr. laland's View of Deistical
Writers, his Rot al Highness (now our most gracious Sovereign),
then in the bloom of youth, purchased a number of copies of
that work to the amount of MI. in value, merely for the pur-
pose of distribution among his personal friends.

The Bishop of Norwich exerted his habitual philanthropy
and liberality in his speech on the motion for thanking the
Vresbyteries of Scotland; in which he said—" There is not a
people on earth who have supported with more assiduity and
unbounded liberality this society, than the kingdom of Scot-
land ; a people not so remarkable for their wealth as for their
industry, their genuine evangelical piety, their high indepen-
dent spirit, and their love of religious and civil liberty—a king-
dom, the moral condition of which proves beyond all contro-
versy, that a general education of the children of the poor, and
the distribution of the sacred scriptures, are the surest mean,
under Providenee, of promoting, not only the happiness of the
poor themselves, but the welfare of every government to w itich
they belong, by enenuaaging those habits of industry, re- raltty,
and religion, which the Bible inculcates in a way which most
effeetnally informs the understanding and influert:•es the heart."
14.8. Some Dutch Bibles and Testaments sent to Sur:nam,
In South America, found a ready sale. The Jews %vete the
principal purchasers of the Bibles, as they undo ,statell the
Dutch, but not the Hebrew, the language in whitri the scrip-
tures are read in their synagogues.—Report, p. 83.
IV patience and perseverance of the Negroes at Berbiee,
in learning to read, is thus described by a Correspondent :
•"fhey never appear to he tired; as soon as their work is done
In the evening they begin to learn with all their hearts; some
of them walk a considerable distance."

Mr. 'Dint, who, when Clerk of the Ordnance, so freely
handled the public money, and ultimately evaded justice by
running away, it is said, not long since in France, in cir-
snmatances very different from his former flourishing con-
dition.
The practice among tradespeople of exposing their goods
upon chairs and forms upon the pavement outside their doors
has increased with the decline of trade, and since the intro-
duction of Bazaars. In this state they appear like lost or
abandoned goods, and tempt the needy or dishonestly-disposed
passenger to pick them up. A man was apprehended in
Oxford-street for a robbery, in carrying off a bundle which lay
thus in his way, with many others, in front of a shop in that
p met. He was, we are assured, the sixth person arrested for
a similar offence lately committed at the same shop.
Ta our last we gave the particulars of the execution, in the
Old Bailey, of Boyce, Maycock, and Gregory. The latter
maintained his innocence to the last; but declared that he
freely forgave the person on whose evidence he was eon-
deinned. We have seen an affidavit from Elizabeth Coward,
the witness alluded to, stating, that she was to have been
married to *Gregory; that at his solicitation she had handed
ben the stock receipt for 251., intending, as she could not then

ht 11.11.1 to sell the same, that he should raise some money on it;
on witch occasion he promised to meet her on the following
Numbly, which failing to do, (as she now believes through mis-
take as to the appointment) she experienced great disappoint-
ment, and being applied to by a person connected with the
Bank of England to know if she had consented to the transfer,
she, while buffering i-alonsy and seeking revenge, and igno-
rant of the extent of pankiliment attached to such an offence,
readily became a witnes and deposed on the trial (as was
really the trent') that she t. :,1 not given authority for the said
transfu r, though from snost.i.i.lit circumstances she believes
that Grego') must have le. leratond that she did. The affi-
davit concludes thus :—" Deponent ,urAier ....iith, that sinee
she has heard that the said W. Gregor!, is order( d for execu-
tion, she has fell the most severe remorse at being the sole wit-
ness, whose testimony has, in the ...vanntli of anger, 'lupine]

most pure and honourable; and that, had he kept the before
mentioned erittagt mesa, be would have avoided his awful situa-

MAXIMS OF INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY.
BY DR. B. FRANKLIN.

Willemtier that time is mimes. He that can earn 6s. a
day los his labour, and gars abroad, or sits idle one half of the
day, thooalt lu• spends but 61 during his diversion or idleness,
ought not to reckon that the only expence: he 1145 really spent,
or throw n assay, 3s. besides.
Remember that credit is money. If a man lets money lie in
my hinds after it is tine, he gives me the interest, or so much
as I can make of it, &Irina that time. This amounts to a con-
siderable sum it' a man has large credit, and makes a good use
of it.

Remember that money is of a prolific genetating nature.
Money can beget money, mid its offspring can beget more, and
so on: :Ss. turned is Gs.: turn it again it is 7s. Sd. and so on,
till it becomes MI. The more there is of it, the more it pro.
dnces every turning; so that the profits rise quicker and
quicker. He that kills a breeding sow destroys all her off
spring to the thousandth generation. He that murders a crown,
destroys nil it might have produced, even scores of pounds.

Remember that six potintl3 a year is but a groat a day. For
less than this little sum, which may daily be wasted in time or
expeuce unperceived, a man of credit, may, on his own secu-
rity have constant use and possession of lOW. So much in
stock, briskly turned by au industrious mail, produces great
advantage. . _ .

Remember this saying, a that the good paymaster is Lord of
another man's purse."• He that is known to pay punctually,
and exactly, to the time he promises, may at any time, and on
any occasion, raise all the money his friend can spare. This
is sometimes of great use; therefore never keep borrowed
money an hour beyond the time you promised, lest a disappoint-
ment shut your friend's purse tlir ever.
Good natured creditors (and suck one would always chase
to deal with, if one could) feel pain when they arc obliged to
ask for money. Spare them that ;mitt, and they will respect
you. When you receive a snot of money, divide it among them
in proportiou to your debts. 1)o nut be ashamed of paying a
small sum, because you owe a greater. Money, more or less,
is always welcome; and your creditor had rather be at the
trouble of receiving 101 voluntarily brought him, though at ten
different times or payments, than be obliged to go ten different
times to demand it, before he can receive it in a lump. It
shows that you are mindful of what you owe, it makes you ap-
pear careful, as well as an honest man, and that still increases
your credit.
Beware of thinking all your own that you may possess, and
of living accordingly. It is a mistake that many people who
have eredit fill into. To prevent this, keep an exact account
of your r • pence: and income. If you take pains to mention
particular-, it will have this good effect—you will discover
how sonde +•ally small trilling expellees amount up to large
sums; and will discern what might have been, and may fur the
(Wore, be sa.ed, without occasioning any great inconvenience.
In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as
.i!te way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry
and Fraga!ity; that is, waste neither yon• time nor money,
but make the best use of both. He that gets all he can, and
saves all he gets, (necessary expences and acts of charity ex
cepted u, will certainly become rich; if that Being, who governs
the world, to whom all should look for a blessing on their
honest eudeav ours, doth not in his wise Providence otherwise
determine.
