The General Nleeiing of this Society was held on
Wednesday, in the gfC-Il hall of the FreetnasonN' Tavern,
which A' 4* completely tilled. Tie number of the clergy
of diilirrwt denominatmns was iut net e.
Lord TeroNmourn was titrammously called to the
chair, and opened the bmittets of the day in a bhort
speed'.
The refort, which was voluminous, was read by the
secretary, the Rev. 1)r. Owen, and gave a detailed ac-
count of the great progress the society teas making in the
circulation of the Set p ores in all parts of the world.—
It was received by the meeting with the utmost gratifica-
tion and applause.
Lord ILtaßowhY, in a short speech, moved that the
report should ire received
Lord MORTON seconded the motion, which was car-
ried unanimously.
The CHANCELLOR of the EICHESHER congratulated
the society upon their increased and increasing success,
and moved the thanks of the meeting to their president,
Lord Teiimmouth.
Lord TEIGNMOUTH returned thanks.

l'he /3,5110 i) Of GLOUCESTER said, he had long been
a friend to the society, and as much as he rejoiced at the
report of their last year's labour that had been lead to !
the meeting. He rejoiced inure especially that the Bible, '
and the Bible only, was likely to become the religion of
the country! and that the increased circulatiou of the
Scriptures was not confined to one country ; but was
rapidly spreading over all the countries of the earth.—
Coanges were taking place in other countries, of which
it wa, impossible, WWI certaintity, to anticipate the con-
sequences. lie did not int..nd to oiler political opinions
but it was evident that tiesponc power was giving way,
that ratnina I power was gaining and that natious
who never benne had that liberty might soon enjoy the
a.lvantage of the 111.rebtrielCII consolation of the Holy
Scriptures, which alone were able to preserve liberty irons
degeneratmg into licentiousness. Superstition was also
giving way with despotism; and the field for the bene-
ficelit exertions of Society was every day widening. It
w of importance that the distribution of Bibles should
keep pace with tile education of the poor, which was
going on with such r. pid stricks in all quarters. The
powers of ilarituess were at work, and Inc press, in its
abuse, continued to seas forth blasphemy; and it was
to counteract this that the Speiety slitnthi ru ou in their
efforts to stop the evil, for which the best antidote seas
to be linniti in the press itself. His lordship concluded
by moving the thanks of the meeting to the Dukes of
York, Sussex, Cambridge, and Gloucester, for their pa.
tronage t.
I.old CALTHORP seconded the motion, which was
carried with acclamation.

The Duke of Gt.tructisrEn, who was the oily Royal
Duke present, 'Assured the itiectlig that he felt in the
Hoist sensible manner the kindness of the fetling that
had been expressed towards his illustrious relatives and
hintsdf. firs Royal Highness declared, that they felt
no higher gratification than in forwarding the interests
of SliCil Sueirties, awl conirattoLved the 'netting on the
great progress they had nude, so fir buyoud what could
he expected at its first estalilisitturnt.
Thanks were 'wed to tile l'hAirman, and the Meet-
ing concluded.
