• POE? OP LONDON BIBLE SOCIETY.
On Thursday afternoon a highly respectable meeting was
held in the King's Concert Room the Haymarket, for the
purpose of promoting the interests of the Port of London So-
• ciety for spienelhig religious knowledge among the Straits.
Witterineis, and Lighterinen of the Port of London.
M. Wtinceriiitct: having been called to the Chair, stated
the objects of the Meeting.
Tlic Rev. Mr. Iruoveit reed the Society's Report, describ-
ing the purchase of a ship of war, and converting it into a
floating chapel, and the other important measures adopted, and
the exertions employed to diffuse a spi-it of religion and mo-
rality among the seamen, ,Src. both at home and abroad.
The Earl of ROCKSAVAGE moved a resolution, that the re •
port be received and ciroulsted.
lord CALTHORPE had great pleasure in seconding the resti-
tution.
The motion was then carried unanimonsfy.
Sir C. MISTER rose to move a resolution, that the inimicl-
thin of morality and religion among Seamen, would he not only
useful to themselves, but advantageous to their country.
Mr. R. 11. MARTEN read a letter from Captain Young, In-
Spector of transports, at Deptford, in praise of the objects of
the Society, and declaring that, through its esertions, the can.
duct and language of seamen scd %Mennen on the Riser bad
improved in an amazing degree.
The Rev. It. HILL said, one of the greatest honours of his
life was to open this Chapel. It was open to clergymen of all
denominations but be was sorry that many were kept away by
mire; which lie hoped the Dignitaries of our Church wouhl
small for and abolish ; for Cie sooner they were annihilated.
he was sure, it would be the better. Ile expressed bis asto-
nishment at the avidity with vatic* seamen received religion-
instruction. Ile concludeod by seconding the motion, which
was also carried unanimosly, as were the others proposed to
the meeting, which then adjourrwA.

Abouticven o'clock on Monday morning, the inhabit •
ants of Great Queen-street, Westminster, were 111.11113t11
by a fire which broke out in the house of Sir Charles
Flint, in the second floor. Several engines very soon
arrived, and the firemen exerted themselves so effectually,
that it was put a stop to before it communicated to any
other apartmerit,.ekcept that in which it broke out.—
The cornices, fomiture. Ike: were destroyed. The acci-
dent was ascribed to a servant maid hating carat/41y
placed a lighted candle under the window-curtain.
Awl/4AL SIMPATIVT.—On the day of great thaw,
a Spaniel was observed, opposite to llsionville, floating
down the Moselle on a small piece of lice. It is not
known how the poor dog got into that situation ; but he
set up piteous elks. Having passed one of the dogs
belonging to the decoys on the left of the Aloselle, that
intrepid animal dashed into the river, soon reached she
unfortunate Spaniel, and seizing him by the neck, swam
on shore with hint amidst the ..cclarhations of the
spectators.
Ditemartri ACCIDZIOT iiY SNOw.—On Wednesday
sennight, a most melancholy circumstances took place
at Troutsdale, ill the pariah of Brominism, about three
miles from Hackneys, in Yorkshire. The stow had ac-
cumulated on the side of the hill, at the foot of which
was a cottage, oeetcyied by a poor man of the name of
Breventler, his wife, and three children; when, ones... •
pectedly, the whole mass of 'snow fell down into the
valley, and with its weight crushed the grillage, and
buried the hapless inmates amongst the ruins. After
about five hourvorlainitir, they were dug out ; but the
King of Terrors had added to his innumerable conquests, •
and their spirits had fled to happier habitations.
Mr. Russell, the actor, met with an arenlerit a few
days since, when playmg in Raymond and diner; at
Brialitrin. The lady as Alarsuerile, discharged a pistol
in the direction of Mr. Ittissell (Raymond), which con-
tained in the powder a shot; it struck him in the fore- •
head jtsst between the eyes, occasioned a considerable
effirdon of blood, and was violent in its ellieet By the
timely applicatiOn'nf leeches, Mr. Russell at reknit ay- -
pears not at all inconvenienced from the occiirrener.—
On searching the cannister, in which the remainder of •
the powder was kept, another shot Was found.
FoRCI.Le AIDOcTION.—On Sunday last, about two •
o'clock p. in., as the Waterford and Limerick mad
co ch was proceeding between Tipperary and Limerick,
it was stopped about eight miles f he former place, -
by a piny of people from 20 to 30 in number, seven or
ei,4tt of whom were armed. When they stopped the
...anti, Bottle, the guard, who was in his place Mislaid: •
discharged a pistol at one of Orin. who win armed. and
who held one of the wheel horses, by which hoveceived
a wound in the neck in near the ear, as he fell against •
the horse which he had hold of, and the coachman saw
the blood flow from the wound. Immediately on Battle
discharging his pistol, another of the party struck him
with a stone, as the coachman believes, and knocked
Mtn down eff the mail boot, on which he was standing
at the tinae, anti afterwlitis stone of the party dragged
him 3C10,3 the toad, and thr. w him against the ditch.—
The asatsilamt then opened the door of the coach, and •
forcibly look out a young woman, who was an inside
passenger. Twoof them took her awayacross the fields, •
while the rest remained on the road, until the coachman- •
Dm le, came off the box, and got Bottle into the coach.
into which he pot the arms. They then permitted the
coachmati to drive off, and he met no Anther imerrup.
titan until he reached Limerick. Tile young woman, we
untlerstatid, was going to Limerick for the purpose of
being married.
Accrnearr.—On Tuesday last, a boat in which were
two young men and a lady, in crossing the Thames he.
low the Tower, rail foul of a large hawser, which they
dal not perceive, and not being able to manage the boat,
and the tide running high, they were all precipitated
into the river. Two ye:lnquiet' who witnessed the acci-
dent pulled up to their assistance, and with much diffi--
talky secceeded in saving the female and one of the men,
hut the other could not be found. It is said the party
live at Liinchouse, and that they were at a wedding ill
S.inthwark, where they spent the morning.
By a return of coals imported into the port of
London, and delivered in the year 1822, it appears
that the total quantity was 1,199,511 chaldrons.

to posterity far beyond the fame of victories or con-
quests:—
(COPY.)

excellent father, leering Funnel, dui ;ng a long 'cries of years, a
wrest valuable aed ext.:nave library, consisting of about one hun-
dred and twenty thousand volumes, 1 hare resolved to. present
this ocillection to the Bluish Nation.

Whilst I have the ratisliaction by this means of advancing

every public and pnvate virtue.
1 desire to add., that 1 have great pleasure. my Lord, in

On Wednesday List an announcement was made
at the Stock Exchange by the brokers of Mr. Solo-
mon Cohen, of his inability to pay the losses be has
incurred by the full of the funds. We recollect no
event of this nature for several years past that has
excited greater regret. His transactions, both in
the English and lueeign funds, are said to have been
on the lav;iest scale.
The Deccan Prima Claw has been terminated, by
a decision in favour of the army of the Deccan, un-
der the command of Lieutenant-Gen. Sir Thomas
liittlop, Bart. K.C.B. The principle upon which
his Alujesty hes proceziled in awarding the booty in
question is that or tietualcapture. The prize, there-
fore, taken at Poonali, Namore, Muhidpore, and
the other places, is given to the respective divisions
of the army of the Deccan by which it was taken,
wi,h a direction that Sir Thomas Hislop, as the
Commander in Chief, and his General Staff, shall
allure with each division, and that the corps of oh-
sarvation, under the commando(' the late Bri:,'adier-
G.me...ti flatA•man, as having moved towards Nag.
pore for t;IC 11111:..):Q of co-operating with , the troops
at that place, and buying actually engaged and de-
feated a com,iderable force belonging to the Rajah '
of ilerar, shall participate in the booty captured in
Ifiq c. !Mal and territory. We understand also, that
the (Avila of the East India Company to u moiety of
all tie pz:zat cuptnrcd during the war has been dis-
alimmLand we cannot but consider, both in reference
to general principle, as well as to the particular eir-
ctimitance • of this case, most just and wise; fir the
Company have nut only obtained, by the result of
the war, an extensive accession of territory in the
finest part of Itlia, but has added, we believe, up-
wards of two millions sterling to its annual revenue.
We understand from good authority that a volun-
tary solicitation has been wade to J. W. Parkins;
Esq. by the electors of Arundel, to offer himself for
the represeutution of that borough, vow vacant by
the decease °Mfr. Blake. Mr. Parkins has accepted
the invitation, and left town for Arundel.
At a Vestry meeting on Friday, the proposition
for erecting a new Church on the north site of
Brighton, in the wide opening between Richmond-
place and York-place, was carried, without a dis-
sentient voice. The expense of this building is es-
timated to amount to 12,0001.
The ruins of an extensive city, said to have Leen
discovered a few years since in Guatimala, Mexico,
has been surveyed by a learned Spaniard, and draw-
inaa made of its curiosities, which have been sent to
London, and will soon be presented to the world.
The city had been covered tier ages with herbuge
and underwood.—Jainnica Royal Gazelle.
