—"
That in the provinces of British America, where the Ro.
man Catholic religion is established, it assigns salaries for the
support of Presbyterian Min'.sters.
That in each of the Presidencies of British India, it supports
a Clergyman of the Church of Scotland."
On motion of William Miller, Esq.
It was resolved unanimously, that the measures now recom-
mended be adopted; and the Chairman do forthwith appoint
a Committee to carry them into effect, and that a book be open.,
ed for subscriptions of voluntary donations, for the purpose
intended.

The following Gentlemen were appointed a Committee :
Wm. Miller, and Robert Scott, Esqs., Dr. Thos. Willis, Dr.
John Anderson, and Dr. Robert Neilson.
A subscription nearly amounting to 1,0001. was immedi-
ately made. Several individual sums were to a large amount,
two in land for building it on, if approved, each amounting
to 3001.

We (West India Gazette) should be sorry to throw any thing
like a damper on this laudable undertaking ; but we are appre-
hensive that the situation of the Kirk will give rise to as much
discussion as the situation of the House of Congress in America.
We have given some consideration to the subject in a satistical
point of view, and we conceive that the proportion of Presby-
terians in the country may be about fourteen or sixteen to one
of the town.folks. This certainly makes a great disproportion
in the way of convenience, whereas were the building in a cen-
tral situation, many for hose local convenience such a com-
pliance was made would most necessarily attend. On the con-
trary, few people would go from the town, fire or six miles in
the country, being much less accustomed to excursions under a
burning sun, than the sons of rustic toir--add to which, the
want of places of • entertainment for men and horses,' so very
easily procured in the town. If our calculation of the relative
proportion of Presbyterians in the town and country be any
thing near the mark, we are fearful of the result. The white
population are on the decrease, and every day manifests the
truth of this preposition. We are not in such grave under-
takings, to indulge in snaring into the regions of fancy ; we
are to penetrate into facts, and to weigh well their conse-
quences. An elegant church, amply endowed by the rich, will
adorn the town, and if well supplied by a pious man, may be
productive of much good. «e have only further to suggest,
that it (irarnmar School Establishment in this town, or its im-
mediate vicinity, might be placed under the superintendance
of its Minister, who should be a young man, which would
add to his emoluments, as well as to the wealth of the town.
If conducted on liberal principles, we have no doubt but youth
would be sent from every quarter of the country, to a town
whose salubrious atmosphere is equal, if not superior, to any
other in the island."

THE STOLEN INFANT.—Yesterday several re-
spectable inhabitants of the parish of St. George the Martyr,
Southwark, assembled in the vestry-room, to consider the ex-
pediency of offering a greater reward, and adopting other mea-
sures for recovering the infant that was stolen from a little girl
to whom it was intrusted, near the King's Bench prison,
short time back.-- Weller, the father of the child, was in attend-
ance, and stated the steps which had been hitherto taken to.
wards recovering his offspring. The poor man was, as might na-
turally be expected,'very sorrowful. A letter was produced which
was received through the two-penny post, but as
rio ni vaenrry erwen
ac:attltlacheti to the communication, it was considered
to be unworthy of credit. The letter intimated that the child
would one day • be restored, and it desired the parents to be
consoled. It was written in such a manner as to raise an in-
ference, '-'"ul•P°,ing that any reliance was to be placed on it At
an, that the infant was somewhere in London. One of, the
cornposiri the vestry conceived the measures which
had been adopted by the Alagistrates at Union-hall, were as
likely as any towards discovering the lost infant. The great-
est publicity had been given to-the case, he said, and he was
not aware t.,i a better mode. In the coarse of the discussion,
that case was alluded tq, in which (iovernment a few years
ago took an active part towards discovering a child that had
been stolen, but was after wards found in tiollend, and re-
stored to its friends. The present case, :t wax remarked,
was different f,rom the one above-mentioned, for here the child
w„, unable to give an account of itself, whereas in that case.
the child had related several of the facts relative to the felony,
which led guilty' 'individual. After
consultation,a short
by the vestry to form aComm
et,owtb hc:Pwreahsi wsaccordingly_apprehension
agreed6he
tvestry done, consisting of the
church Wardens and overseers of the poor, with some other pa-
rishioners. Resolutions were then drawn up, recommending,
subscriptions to be opened for the purpose of increasing the
reward offered for the recovery of the infant, and the appre-
hension of the person who committed the attrocious act. After
which a liberal subscription was toride,• and the vestry •then
i•roke up.
