GERMAN LUTHERAN CHURCH, SAVOY.

The Members and Friends of the above Church
dined together on Wednesday last, at the Freemasons' Tavern,
in Celebration of the 130th Anniversary of its Formation.
Soon after five o'clock, the Reverend W. KurEit,,D.D.
took the Chair ; he was followed into the Room by the Rev.
Doctor Steinkopff, the Rev. Doctor Schwabe, the Rev. Mr.
Scholl, the Rev. Mr. Burekhardt, the Rev. Mr. Trescbow, the
Rev. Mr. Tiarkes, &c. &c.
Amongst the names, of the Stewards., we noticed those of
Messrs. P. R. Poland, G. Kohlbeck, N. (lading, J. G.
Ilentsch, C. Appold, A. Knye, J. G. Kolbe, J. Nlrcidner, J.
Kohlbeck, J. Manger, 'G. Poland, H. Wagentreiber, P. Po-
land, F. G. Wolf, F. Renck, C. Teuten, W. Wust, J. H.
Bitter, &c. &c.

The party having partaken of an excellent dinner,
The CHAIRMAN Informed the Meeting, that they were
there assembled for the purpose of Celebrating the One Hun-
dred and Thirtieth Anniversary of the Formation and Establish-
ment of a Place of
.Public Worship, in which they were al-
lowed to worship their Creetor according to their own opinions,
and in their native tongue. This toleration looked at in a re-
ligious point of view, was of the greatest ahantage, but there
were also other considerations which must induce them to praise
it highly—it had the peculiar effect of bringing them, and
keeping them in a body as countrymen ; it had the effect of
uniting them in that bond of union and friendship which must
be equally gratifying and beneficial to all.—(Applause.)--Be-
sides, the Lutheran Church in the Savoy was a monument of
more than a century's standing, in rayonr of the religious tole-
ration and protection which they (its members) enjoyed; nay
further, they had to boast of the encouragement which that
Church and. its School had received from the excellent
Ministry of the country, and others who had praise-
worthily exerted themselves in the promotion and secu-
rity of the interests of both; There was still another gra-
tification to which he felt himself bound to call the attention of
the meeting, namely, the attendance of Ministers of other
Churches upon that occasion. This was to him, and would be

ceive the Ministers of the Swiss, the French, the Dutch, and
the other Reformed Churches, all mingling in the same great
cause—the advancement of religion, and the improvement of
the condition of mankind ?—(Applause.)—He would not de-
tain the Meeting longer',
_but would propose to them a toast,
which, as good and loyal men, they would receive with the
loudest and unanimous applause. They would receive it as
men from a foreign country, who in an especial degree enjoy-
ed the protection and countenance of the British Government,
and more especially as a body whose church was favoured by
an annual bounty. He proposed " the health of his present
Majesty, and may God bless and preserve him."-:-This toast
was drank with three thnes three, and followed by loud and
reiterated applause.
The CHAIRMAN 84id, he had next to propose a toast, which
he felt convinced would be received not less warmly than the
former. They all knew that it was not so much the exalted
rank, as the amiable virtues and endearing qualities of the
Royal Family, which rendered them beloved by the people.—
He begged to give " the Duke of York and the rest of the
Royal Family, with three times three."—(Loud applause.)
The CHAIRMAN said, the objects for which that Meeting
had assembled, rendered it a peculiarly pleasing duty on his
part to point out those distinguished individuals to whom they
were indebted for countenance and support, and foremost in
that rank stood one of the Royal Princesses,who had for several
years kindly condescended to become the Patroness of the
School belonging to the Church, since which period her Royal
Highness had taken the kindest interest in the prosperity both
(Atha establishment and the Church itself. lie therefore beg-
ged to propose—
" The health of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Clarence,
the kind Patroness anti Benefactress of the Savoy Lutheran
School," with three times three.—(This toast was received with
great appleuse.)
The CITAIRMAN had now to car the attention of the Meet-
ing to the very •excellent Minister who so laudably and suc-
cessfully exerted himself in favour of that Church, the esta-
blishment of, which they were met to celebrate. lie could
assure the Meeting, that they could not better support the in-
terests of that Church than by supporting and encouraging its
excellent M inister --(applause) —a gentleman who had for many
years performed its duties zealously, faithfully, and success-
fully—(Hear, hear!)-.That Reverend Gentleman's
philan-
thropy, zeal, and general kindness, were known to almost all
around him. He had therefore only to propose—" Prosperity
to the German Lutheran Church in the Savoy, and to its ex-
' cellent Minister, die Rev. Dr. Steinkoplf," with three times
three—( Loud applause.)
The ltev. Dr. STEINKOPFF rose to return thanks. Ile
freely confessed himself to be so overpowered by his feelings,
that he was' incapable of giving utterance to that which he so
fully felt—a due sense of the kindness of his Rev. Friend, as
well as of the approbation with which that respectable assembly
had honoured ]tun. And yet he felt it necessary to say a few
words upon this most interesting occasion. It was pleasing to
an individual to look back to his past life, and consider the
ninny pleasing scenes through which he had wandered during
his progress ;.--nay, it was pleasing sometimes to look back
upon the trials and difficulties through which be had passed
;
that which was so pleasing to an individual, would be equally
so to a congregation, and therefore it was, . that that congrega-
tion could not turn back but with feelings of satisfaction upon
the early institution of their now flourishing establishment,
and upon the manner in which it had been supported. That
Church had but a very small beginning. It was first held
in a • private room, subsequently_ a small Chapel was pro-
vided, and at length, in 1768, their present neat and
convenient building was erected. The Reverend Gentleman
here entered into a history of the Church, and the Clergy-
men who officiated in it from its establishment down to his
own Ministry, which commenced some three and twenty years
kco, and in the course of his observations dwelt particularly on
the great merits and services of Dr. 13urckhartit ; a Gentleman
who had unceasingly exerted himself in support of that Church,
as well us in promoting the general advancement of religion
and prosperity amongst his fellow-creatures. It was now 23
years since he (Dr. Steinkopff) had first the honour of meeting
die members of his congregation, anti being, in that very room, ,
introduced to them as their Alinister. How Many of that
venerable congregation had been since removed How many
of those to whom he had been attached by the, sincerest ties of
friendship, were now no more ! But still he felt cheered at
seeing many of his old friends around hint. One Gentleman he
saw whose age was 86, another 80, another, 76, and more than
one of 70; besides, he knew that there were others, who were '
only prevented by age and bodily infirmities front attending.
He could not express the affection which he ever had felt and
continued to feel for his congregation ; it had ever afforded him
the greatest delight to perform the sacred functions of his office,
and he could with truth declare, that the happiest hours of his
life were passed in the performance of the sacred anti endear-
ing
duties.—(Applause.)—lfe felt that the interests of his con-
gre(gation were bound up with his own—their honour, pros.
perity, and happiness were essentially connected with, and in-
separable from his own. Before he sat down he begged to in.
traduce to the Meeting a clear and valuable friend.of his—the
Rev. Mr. Burckhardt, a Gentleman whom he had found it ne-
cessary to call in as an assistant in the perthrmance of his mani.
fold duties ; and be could assure the Meeting, that he had de-
rived the most powerful assistance from the exertions of that '
Gentleman.—(Loud applause.)—Mr. Burckhardt was a young
man of no ordinary attainments, anti from what he already
knew of him, he could venture to predict that lie would meet
with the general approval of the congregation. Ho was glad to
find that the Ministers anti Members of other Churches attend.
ed upon this occasion.' For himself, he should feel ashamed if
lie confined his wishes of success to his own church—he wished
equal prosperity to all—he hoped they might all flourish, united
In friendship and unanimity in the great cause of religion. The
Rev. Gentleman concluded by thanking the Meeting most sin-
cerely for the honour they had done him in drinking his health
—(Loud applause.)
The CHAIRMAN, after pronouncing a warm eulogium upon
Reva
the merits of the late Dr. Burckhardt, proposed " The Health

therefore, called upon the Meeting to give their young friend a
warm and cordial reception,
and prove to him that he was most.

hope that lie would follow in the steps o his a artily predeces-
sor, he proposed "The health of the Rev. Mr. Burckhartit,
,
and 'success to his Alinittryl with three times three." This
toast was received with peculiar marks of approbation.
Mr. BeraCKHAEPT returned thanks, but as the Rev. Gentle-

' man spoke in the German language, . and in a tone so low as to
be only occasionally audible to us, we were unable to collect
more than the substance of his speech. He regretted that he
was unable to express in English those feelings with which the
kindness of the Meeting had so powerfully impressed him .
e.
He thanked them, from his heart he tfianked them, for the h
nour they had done him, and he hoped that lie should be al-
ways found worthy the approbation of his countrymen and
fellow-citizens—(Applause).
The Cilia 'TITAN observed, that however anxious they might
be to support their own Church, they ought not to forget others
which, however they might differ upon - points,- agreed with
them in principle. But before he entered further upon this
subject,z he had to propose— •
' The Health of tke Elders and Churehwardens of the Lum
theran Church in the Savoy," with three times three.
Mr. Wor.s•E : Gentlemen, I rise with feelings of gratitude
in behalf of myself and the 'Elders and Churchwardens of the
Savoy, to return you our sincere thanks for the honour you have
done us in drinking our healths in so handsome a manner. We
likewise beg you to accept our best thanks for the honour of
your Company this day. I have only to add, that no efforts on
our part shall be wanting at any time to further the good of the
Church.
Air. STEINEOPFF said, he rose to propose the health of a
Gentleman, in whose favour he was perfectly confident of se-
curing the unanimous opinions and feelings of the Aleeting; •
he meant the " health of their Worthy Chairman, the Rev.
Dr. Kuper, and the Congregation at St. James's."2(Loud and
reiterated applause.)—The Gentleman whose name he had
mentioned, was one to whom both he and the congregati nee,
on
were greatly indebted. In every thing which had been do
they ,had experienced the friendly assistance and kindly feeling
of the Rev. Dr. Kuper.--(The tout was drank with loud al''
