LONDON AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY:

A very crowded meeting of the friends of this institution
was held in the Egyptian Hall, Mansion-house, on Thank:ay,
the Lord Mayor in the Chair.
The Lord Mayer opened the meeting by stating, that he
hail given the use orThe Egyptian ball, considering ibis the
best use that could be made of it. st his institution was cal-
cuieted to enlighten the minds and improve the morals of the
lower classes by sluiing so, the ileties of magistrates would be
made much easier. His Lordship next intimated, that he load
received a letter from the Right Hon. N. l'ausitiart, express-
ing regret that lie could not he pi eseat, on accoutzt cf a Ca-
binet meeting held that day.
The Rev. Daniel Wilson then read the report of the cont.
mitteee. After setting forth that the progress ;red edects of
the institution wet e nut to be judged of by partial appear-
ances, but by latent operations and general results, it stated
the establishment of the Merchant Seamen's Auxiliary Bible
Society as one of the happy effects of tins institution during
the last year. The Aferehr lit•Beamen's Society was instituted
in January ; its object was to distribute Bibles to 120,000
111 Irish seamen, now destitute of them. Already had they
supplied 16.0a9 seamen with the word of God. ft next ad.
vented to the state of the several associations; some were
niviroidabb supported by a few subscribers; others flourish.
ell in high prosperity. The number of Bibles aud Testanteuts
issued darieg the last ‘eer by this society was, 1,6510 Bibles,
089 Testaments, total 2;319, forming an aggregate within six
)ears of 14,3.8 Bibles, 3,b76Tebtanielit4, total 20,132. It
Hest mentioned their attention to workhouses and asylums,
and bestowed high praise on the x •al and success of female
association.r. Their agents had penetrated into recesses al.
insist forbidden to the approach or inspection of our sex, and
they had obtained subscriptions frosts unexpected resources.
Some remarks were here introduced on the salutary effects of
distributing the Bible,such as keeping parents front gin shops,
children from unseasonable play in the streets, and servants
from idle gossiping. It lamented that the finances did not
hold the sante rank as the city itself did in the scale of wealth
and liberality. -Ste report proceeded next •to describe the
attention of the committee to criminals in prison. Thanks
were expressed to the Lord Mayor for bating given the
Egyptian hall to a society whose aim was to disseminate prin-
t iples which secure to the pour the protection of their rights,
to the rich the enjoyment of their opulence, to magistrates
the trite dignity of their office, and to Princes the stability
of their thrones.
The Rev. Dr. Thorp began an elabovate speech by con-
gratulating his Lordship on the importance of the object of
the meeting. The value of the Bible had been appreciated
by Locke, silt° had said that it had God for its author, sal-
vation for its object, truth, unmixed with any error, for its
subject. It msseau haul been our or the most pet vicious of
writers. lie had been found by a friend of his superintend. ing a young lady reading. 'file Irieuid, on seeing that the
book was a New Testament, exclaiwt d, " What ! teach a
cheat, a mockery." " Yes," said Rousseau. " it is a cheat
and a mockery; but where will you get such lliVi 11'`5011$
of morality ?"(applaese.) Bible Societies had a eliatin of posts
front London to Siberia ; yet they neither repre•sed nor
stinted 'ether charitable institutions. lie con,divled by
moving that the report now read, be received, adopted, and
printed.

Mr. I)avies, of the Common Council, after cem;rttulating lt;s
Lordship on presiding over so numerous and respv,;tale I{ meeting,
seconded the resolution.

It was carried unanimously.
Hobert Humphrey Martin. Esq. said that we ovief licit liberty to
the Bible. The effects of this institution were to promote good-will
and forbearam...e. He had seen the time when a Friend durst not
walk the streets, and when a Jew was tossed by his beard, till it ass
almost plucked from his chin. He had lately been to Paris, and
had had a Milanese servant there. When parting with him he
gave him a Bible. on the condition that he should read it, teach his
wife to read it, if he approved of it:give it to his children, and never
part with it. He took it on those terms. He,c,:iicluded by moving
sincere thanks to the Lord Mayor for the useof the hall, and for
presiding on this occasion.
Mr. NS' Aulay seconded the motion.
. . _

. -
The Lora Mayor returned thanks, said that he had no merits.
and observed that his object was to improve the morals of the lower
orders.

The Rev. ller,ry Watkins said, that if there was joy in Heaven
over one sinner that repented, how much joy must there be among
the blessed angels, from the results of that institution ? The Bible
was the magna rharla of sinners. Bible Societies had contributed
more than any other means to check the late progress of disaffection.
Those who had received Bibles from them could take the liberty to
think from tho Bible rather than from the Sunday newspapers. There
was one text which might keep the whole district of manufacturing
towns quiet and contented—•• All things shall wink together for good
to them who love Cod."

The Rev. Dr. Steinkopff gave an account of the progress of the
Bible Society in Denmark. Sweden, and Russia, and moved thaels
to the treasurer. secretary, and connbtces.
The Rev. .F. %V. Cunningham seconded the motion. He lamented
that the city of London had not kept pace with other places There
were many great vices peculiar to large cities; the circulation of the
Bible was tlieonly adequate means of counteraction ; London. as the
largest of cities, arid the source of many crimes. was therefore
peculiarly bound to contribute liberally towaids the circulation of
tl:c Bible. If the poor could he persuaded to set apart a penny in
the week for the Bible Societies, it would teach them independei.ce,
and wean them from parish support.
David Bevan, Esq., the treasurer, returned thanks. The balaree
last year was 71. ISs. 6d. After haying paid to the British and Foreign
Bible Society 'Anil. the balance this year was 151.45. 1 td.
Thanks were then given to the Lord Mayor for laic able and im•
partial condtict in the chair, and the meeting dispeesed at 4 o'clock.

Tuesday afternoon, about one o'cl•:ek, the inhabitants of
Grtystoke-place, Fettei-lane, were thrown into the greatest
