tttering accounts of his progress in Scotland. Anothur
it.om Mr. Salt, Missionary to Warwickshir,., in which he
,:atcd that his success was rater indifferent, from the
people being unpreT2red, and from their hying kept in

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

Mr. Richardson's motion on the state of the country was
then brought forward, upon which the meeting resolved
itself into a Committee, Mr. MALING in the Chair.
Mr. RICHARDSON said that having given the notice of a
motion on this subject it became his duty to bring i for-
ward. Although the returns yet were few in comparison
with the great numbers in preparation, yet he thought they
could iwt devote their time to a better purpose from time
to time is the returns would be received, than to acquire
inforrn:ltion which would give them an opportunity of con-
futing their enemies.—( Hear, hear.) Ile would read
those returns which he had received. (Mr. Richards 9n,
a:id th ,se other delegates who had returns from their con-
stiue.icies, then read those statements, which were re-
ceive uith greet satisfaction.)
Joys, from Wales, read a statement of the neigh-
beat:hood from which he was deputed. It was very
lengthy, and spoke much of the people's determination of
attail,iog their object.
Mr. PITKRITIII.EY moved that The discussion of this
question should be postponed until Friday, in order that
:night have sufficient time to prepare their do-
in i reamer that would challenge those opposed
t i a stateu:•ent of their comparative wishes to
h•• tuse of the people.

The following characteristic anecdote of a Bri-
tish sailor will be read with feelings of deep interest ;
the subject of it was the father of Sir T. Trowbridge, now
one of the Lords of the Admiralty :--" A curious scene
occurred on board the Sans Pareille on the morning of the
Ist of June I Lord Howe's action); Captain Trowbridge,
ago tad been recently taken in the Castor, with his
nvoy, bound to Newfoundland, was a prisoner cn board
tl e French ship just named, where Rear Admiral Nieuily
bed his flag flying. After Lord Howe had obtained his
pc sition, and drawn his fleet in a line parallel to that of
the en, my, he brought to, and made the signal to go to
breakfast. Trowbridge knew the purport of the signal,
and telling it to the French Admiral, they took the ad-
vantage of the time allowed them for the same repast.
Trowbridge (whose appetite never forsook him on these
occasions) was helping himself to a large slice from
the brown loaf, when the French Captain observed to
him by an interpreter (for Trowbridge would never
learn their language) that the English Admiral showed no
disposition to fight, and he was certain did not intend it.
" What r said the English hero, dropping his loaf, and
laying his hand almost too emphatically on the Frenchman's
'boulder, while he looked him furiously in the face,
" Not tight I stop till they have had their breakfast ; I
know John Bull - well, and when his belly is full, You
will get it." In a few minutes after this, the fleet bore- up
to engage, Trowbridge was sent into the boatswain's
stere room, where for a length of time he leant against the
foremast, and amused himself in pouring out every invec-
tive against the French, and the man appointed to guard
him. Suddenly he felt the vibration of the mast, and
heard tt f4ll over the side ; when grasping the astonished
Frenchman with both his hands, he began to jump and
ceper, with all the gestures of a maniac. The Sans Pa_
route stun after surrendered, and Trowbridge assisted in
ge.tine her to rights and taking her into port.—Brenton's
Naval History.
