ROYAL SEA-BATHINO INFlRMARY.—Yesterday morning,
at a General Meeting of the Governors of the above Insti-
tution, held at the London Coffeehouse, her Royal Highness
the Duchess of KENT was appointed Patroness. On the 11
instant, her Royal Highness honoured the Infirmary with a
visit, and was received by J. Taddy, Esq. of llartsdown; T.
Warre,'Esq. of Ramsgate, and J. A. VVarre, Esq. M.P.,
*three of the Vice Presidents, who attended for the purpose of
receiving her Royal Highness and her illustrious attendants.—
Dr. Brown introduced the Noble Personages through all the
wards, exhibiting to them such patients as were most worthy
their attention, and fully explained the benefits of the Institu-
tion. Amongst the patients were those who, after being blind
for years, had obtained their sight, the lame had been enabled
to walk with strength, and numerous persons (if not cured),
who were incapable of attending to business in order to main-
tain their families, received relief and strength sufficient to fol-
low their different occupations, and give bread to their
guishing children. The Duchess and her humane attendants
appeared much gratified, and were pleased to express their ap-
probation of the Charity in a most feeling manner when they
retired.

SUFFOLK BIBLE SOCIETY.--On Monday last
(7th inst.) the Suffolk Bible Society held its eleventh Anniver-
sary Meeting in the Guildhall; Lord BRISTOL in the Chair.
The report of the proceedings for the year, stated the satisfac-
tory progress of the Society, and the great good it had effected.
A series of customary resolutions was moved by the Gentlemen,
amongst whom, Lord Calthorpe and W. Wilberforce, Esq.,
M.P., addressed the assembly at great length. The Minister
of the French Protestant Church, in London, produced a copy of
the New Testament in Russ, being the first opportunity afforded
the natives of the great northern empire of reading the Gospel
in their own language; he stated likewise, that the number
of Bible Societies were now 2,400, and that not less than five
millions of copies of the Holy Scriptures had been distributed.
We learned, likewise, from one of the Reverend speakers, that
the Bible had been translated into 100 different languages,
through the means of the societies, and that translations
were now in progress of 40 more. The Rev. Mr. Elliott
regretted that the society had met with so little encouragement
in Bury, as in a population of 10,0001. souls, not quite 1001.
per annum had been subscribed. The Guildhall was not at
all crowded, nor was the meeting attended, as far as we could
see, by any of the resident Clergy of the Established Church,
and only by a very few from the neighbourhood. In the lay
part of the assembly there was a very palpable predominance of
the dissenting interest.—( Bury Gazette.)

POTATOE GROWING EXTRAORDINARY.-Mr.
W. Richardson, of Crowle, took up last week upwards of one
hundred and twenty sacks of fine potatoes from one acre of
Crowle Yorkshire Moors, commonly known by the appellation
of Yorks/tire Waste, and which has been used as a turbary, &c.
from time immemorial ; and to walk upon which ground three
years ago was not feasible. The land was planted the last Fri-
day in May.—( Doncaster Gazette.)
~ rhe barn, corn, &c. lately consumed by fire,
on the premises of R. 'Vswcn, of Hawkhurst, we are glad to
hear, were all insured. The child who set fire to the loose straw
which produced the mischief, said she was told to do it by
some gypsies, between whom and Mr. Winch there had been
some disagreement on the subject of hop-picking.—( Kentish
Gazette.)
