BIBLE MEETING.
Tuesday a meeting of the Southwark Anxiliary
Bible Society was held at the Ilorns4avern, at Kenning-
ton, lor the purpose of receiving the 10th annual report.
It was uurst minieroully attended.
At a little after twelve o'clock, Charles Barclay, Es.q•
was called to the Chair. He, in an eloquent speech,
apologized for the absence of Earl Spencer, and congra-
tulated the meeting on the prosperous state of the insti-
tution. He concluded by calving On the Secretary to
real the report.
The Bev. G. CLAYTON then proceeded to read the
report, which stated, in stroll,' and impressive language,
the prosperity of the Southwark Bible Association. It
stated the contributions for the last and former years to
be onwards of 20,0001. After the report was read. the
Rev. Charles DAIon rose, and in an impressive speech
dwelt on the inestimable benefits resulting front the cir-
culation of the Bible in this and distant climes.
Toe Rev. ROWLAND 111 LL commenced by urging the
mcessi ty of di,seminating the holy liook. lie contrasted
the conduct of those who read the book of reliehus
knowledge, with that of those who pursued a different
courv, and described with force the effect of the mode
adopted by the distributors upon seamen, whose character
had Lndergone a complete change within the last few
years. He called upon ►he meeting to enquire into the
state of the most civilized of mankind, and told them the
result of that enquiry would prose that without a doe
sein.e of the precepts of scripture, and a due observance
of them, civilization produced but few benefits, and had
no °Mel' titan a temporary influence upon the morals of
society.
After Pereill speeches from other members of the
society, the Ric. 'Ali-. Clayton p r pbed the thanks of
the "netting to Charles Barclay. Esq. which being car.
tied, tilt meeting adjourned.

To-day we have received accounts of Saturday's date
from the tomtit. _

.....
From Cork we learn that on Tuesday last, abort five
o'clock, p.m an armed itarty attacked the steward of
John I.tsaght, Eq. of Mmint.tiorilt, half a mile from
liallycloA, and after beating him severely, deprived
loin of his gun. The bandit.i, we also learn, set fire
to four houses in the neighbourhood of Ballyhoura, near
Hut evant, on Wednesday, which unfortunately were
con-imed. Two of these were the property of a tenant
of John If. Barry, Esq. of Ballinvonere, and hut fot
the timely arrival of Major Carter's police, who reached
the spot in a quarter of an hour after the fire crnnmenced.
the cattle in one of the houses would have been burned.
Another belonged to James Hill, Esq. and was situated
on the lands of I'L.nethigeen; six cows, also this gen.
tleman's property, were killed at the same time by the
banditti. The fourth house burned belonged to Mr.
Sherlock, of Ballybnitm.
From the city of %Vaterford we learn that threatening
notices continue to be posted tip.
Ott Thursday the m igist rates of the county Kilkenny.
at special sessions, resolved to memorial the Lnrd
tenant to place the baronies o' Dells, Knocktophor,
lvert, the town and liberties of Callan, and that part of
the barony of Siielleloghee, west of the King's-Over,
under the insurrection act forthwith.

We are sorry we cannot communicate any abatement
of the Whiteboy system in the county Limerick. The
hillowtng list of outrages is from the Limerick Chronicle
of Saturday:—
About the hour of 12 o'clock on Wednesday &girt,
the houses of J. Hogan, R. Regan, T. Roche, J. and
P. C..rmodv, on the lands of Rathcannon, in the neigh-
bourhood of Athlacca, were broken into by a number of
armed men, who, after having severely wounded Hogan
and Regan, directed them to surrender their farms within
a week, under pain of death, and the destruction of
their houses and stock. A similar order was also deli-
vered to the other above named iudividnals. The herds-
men of the late T. Lyons, Esq. and Mr. L. Roche, on
said landq, were also desperately beaten by the same
party, and ordered to apprize their employers that their
farms must be immediately surrendered.
Thursday five meu in female attire, and well armed
with blundet busses and pistols, went on the lands of
Tiercona, near Ballingarry, acid caused the men who
were ploughing for Mrs. Nlolcahy, to cease work mt
pain of death, and ordered Mrs. M. and her sons to
quit the farm before Sunday's visit; the fellows also went
to other denominations, and issued similar orders to
diff.rent landholders.

Extract of a letter, slated Newcastle, March 29 :
" The noted offender, P. Dillane, alias J. Rock, who.
with his accomplices, have hitherto kept the neighbour.
hood of Newcastle, and the adjecent mountains in a
stateol terror, was this morning apprehended in a cabin
on the monntains behind Mount-plummer, by a party
of' the rifle brigade, under the snperintendence of that
very efficient magistrate, T. P. Vokes, Esq. accompa-
nier' by Lieut. Percy, and a party of the mounted police.
This day, as a very respectable farmer of the name of'
Raliegh, was in act of placing stock on the farm and
lands of Main, near Castle Mahon, whit h he took
from Major Sullivan on the 25th, his cattle was instantly
drove from oft the farm, his furniture, whicfi was on
carts, seized and demolished, his men placed on their
knees to shoot them ; which was not carried into effect,
by swearing lint to atte:-sot coming there again ; this
was at the hour of 12 siei tck us the day, and in the
presence of several spectators. Thursday night, a ser-
vant of Major Sullivan's, teamed Collins, on the farm
of Coolygorman, was attacked and dragged out of his
bed by a party of insurgents. who, after heating him
cruelly, swore him to nit the farm. The same night a
field belonging to Mr. I'. Cronin, of Ross, was malici-
ously turned up by these legislators, has ins conveyed
several ploughs and horses into the field, with which
they executed their lawless night yolk. '[he Rev, Mr.
lio,zan, parish priest, of Newcastle, Irons his pastoral
admonitions atttl exemplary zeal, has succeeded in getting
arms from his deluded parishioners, four stand of which
were Chit day handed over by him to G. Massy. F..‘9.
From the vicinity of Croons we have received a list of
very disgraceful outrages.
ExEctmoN —.lfutliitgar, March 28 —Yesterday, T.
rts:istitford, Pattick Gilligan, Matthew Boykin, and John
Per.d. the four unfortunate men who were found guilty
on the Whiteboy Act at our last assizes, underwent the
dreadful sentence of the law, at Johnstown, Barony of
Delwin, in this county.—At seven o'clock, A.M. the gal-
lows, packed on drays, and the executioner in a post-
chaise, moved forward to the above-mentioned pl ice,
escorted by three companies of the 19th regiment of foot.
and a large party of police. At nine the unhappy con-
victs, attended by the Rev. Mr. M'Cormick, Roman
Catholic chaplain, and Isis assistant, entered two car-
riages, and set out for the same destination, strongly
guarded by a troop of the Ist dragoon guards, and a de-
tachment of horse police. During the journey front the
jail to the place of execution, (about eight miles), the
clergymen were assiduously engaged administering that
spiritual consolation VI peculiarly necessary nu tht se
awful occasions. About two o'clock the procession
reached the awful spot, and while the gallows was
erecting they prayed fervently and incessantly. Shortly
after they were li lied into eternity, and after the
usual time their bodies were cut down, put ion separate
coffins, conveyed back to town, and deposited in the gaol
yard for interment. The peasantry collected to witness
this awful spectacle were not so numerous at was ex-

PARIJAMENTARY PAPER.
The Select (: ))))) mince appointed to isolate into the alle-
gations of Cie several petitions winos have been ;pre-
sented to the house in the last and precept sessiwis of
Pa:Hainaut, coinplainia; of the distressed state of the
agriculture of the Visited Kingdom, and to report their
ouservations thereupon to ilk anise.
Coitsideied that among all Ilse important olijet is refer-
red to Them, none could be more deserting of tads ea nest

suggested for ;dialling some temporal y relief to the tits
tresses of which the tames ens petitioners with so non

the averages prices Of ruin dui Atig the late weeks*, to be
ogressively increasing rattle' than diminishing.
Your committee do not vet the to determine, whether
the present state of the corn non kit is owing to an excess
-of ps eduction, or to what extent that excess may reach,
beyond the usual and requisite Supply or eiliether the
necessities of the occupiers of land cause an unprece-
dented eagernesa to dispose of noir produce at almost

years.
Such an excess of supply beyond demand can have no
other etlect than to continue the depression of price, and
increase the oceisinulatiwi of the stock anima hood t while
it is evident, from the piesent very low rate of pi ice Oil

Two other modes have the, cfore been under the consi-
deratioss of y our committee; by the first (Si %shall it was
proposed, that one nulliuu of Excheipter Bills should lie

ment, and las big op in souse, a certain potion of wheat
grown in tile United Kingdom; and by the second, that
facility and eacourageseteot should be offered to individu-
als to deposit a part of their stuck in wet eliouses, so that
they might not be forced to come into the market simul-
taneously, anti melee the disadvantage of excessive com-
petition, but might be enahl..d to non until the supply,

danger of its being drawn into precedent, the claims

articles of domestic produce, whenever they might be

a'llow'ing all articies,as 1111161 us possible, to hind their own
natural level, by leaving the supply to adjust itself to the
demand, discourage your Collillinit e ft oni recommending

their own discretion, the Goveisintesit iiiterfering no
otherwise than Icy snaking advances upon the commodity
depurated, which would be repaid, mint a low rate of in-
terest, as Saudi as the article should be bionglit to market.
Fur effecting this object, two different modes have been
taiggestrd ; by one of which it was proposed, that when
the weekly average pike is under bus. (the impost scale
aetuaasdug as at present) wheat should be aimed, subject
to a monthly allowance of sexpt iiee per quarter, until the
errge price should reach 655.
The %%bole quantity slot to exceed 600,00 d quarters, and
the time for %stitch the allowance should be payable LIU/

Nut more than a certain number of quarters, nor less
than another specified number of quarters, to be Awed on
the part of any individual or firm.

ithdraw it at any time, waving his claim to allowance, or
rrtwitting it.
