TO THE' CHARITABLE AND HUMANE.
AFEMALE, near Forty Years of Age, of
unexceptionable Character and Connexions, who for
many years supported herself respectably,' and for some years
contributed to the Maintenance of her Father and Mother by
her Needle, is now SUFFERING under the GREATEST
DISTRESS. For these last two years, in consequence of the
reduced price of Needlework, and the injury her sight had
sustained from too much application, she has scarcely been
able to keep herself alive, and has auffered hardships and pri-
vations that few persons could have survived, and of which the
bare recital would shock the feeling heart. She has long, but
in vain, endeavoured to obtain a Situation in a Family._
Though she is well acquainted with domestic affairs, is active
and steady, and can bear confinement, no one will engage her,
at her time of life, in any capacity, because site has not been in
service, Could she, through the kind Contributions of the Bene—
volent, obtain a small sum, she might be enabled to get up
a little shop, to procure herself the means of subsistence.
Those who feel benevolently disposed to assist the unfortunate
Advertiser, who will gratefully accept what they may kindly
bestow, however small the donation, will please to inquire for
A. 11., at Mr. WHELDON'S, No.lo, Russell's-place, Great
Russell-street, Covent-garden, Her Landlady, to whom site
is in arrears for rent, has been very indulgent, but as she is in
great want of the apartment which the Advertiser occupies, it
must be given up on Saturday next. Where the unfortunate
Advertiser will then lay her head Heaven oply,knows, should
tlds application, her last resort, prove unsuccessful.

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS

DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVIIRPOOL COW EXCHANGE. June '29.

The importation of Wheat and Oats has greatly exceeded
the last, but it is in consequence of the arrival of a further
quantity of foreign Corn 3 1468 quarters of the Wheat, and
4188 quarters of Oats, are of that'description. We have had
a fair demand for good English and Irish Wheat since last
Tuesday and nearly 000 quarters have been exported to Ire-
land. T'o-day's market was but indifferently attended, yet the
holders of Wheat were not inclined to force sale, and our last
quotations were fully supported, and in one or two instances
exceeded, but no weight of business was done. There were
buyers of Oats from the country, but not to any great extent;
the importers were ready sellers, at 0. to ld. per bushel under
our former price. Barley is at present dull of sale, and droop-
ing in value. Malt, Beans, and Flour, maintain last week's
rates; but Oatmeal could have been bought on somewhat
lower terms. The demand continues for Bonded Flour, but
does not Improve the prices.

BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE.

BAYONNE, JUNE 2G.—.We have received news
from :Madrid of the 21sk When the King arrived on the 19th
he was escorted, not only by the French Garde du Corps, Chas,
Acura, and (3/ens-craws, but also, by the Spanish troops con%
mended by General Otesada. The French were under the
orders of General Digeon. The departure of the Garde du
Corps is positively fixed for the 29th inst. Corn has sensibly
decreased, but bread is still very dear. The King immediately
on his arrival . gave orders to nll the Intendants to have all. the
Juntas of Purification installed without delay, in order, he
says, to determine the fate of persons holding offices. Accounts
from Mahon say that the fete of St. Fen'Nand was celebrated
with great pomp, because the amnesty was published about the
same time, and some good was expected from it.. general Ca.
Pape, who is confined in the same dungeon as the unfortunate
Riego, was arrested by the Constitutionalists returned from
France, in the King's name, as this General traversed the coun-
try proclaiming Charles V. at the head of a body of troops
which sensibly increased. The Captain-General, having no
troops to oppose to him, armed the Constitutional prisoners,
and sent them against the rebels, who were defeated. The
King will remain only a short time at Madrid, but will go to
the baths at Sacedon. The fah, Ifith, and 22d regiments of the
line, and the 12th of Chasseurs, have returned to their canton-
ments in the environs of Madrid. Oa, the 20th there was a
great Council of Ministers and Foreign Ambassadors, on
count, it is said, of a note addressed by the Spanish Govern-
ment to that of France. The King has been out, accompa-
nied, for the first time, by the Spanish Garde do corps. A
great quantity of wine and brandy, belonging to M. Ouvrard,
which he intended to smuggle, have been seized by the Spanish
Custom-house officers, end will be immediately sold.
Since the publication of the amnesty, no. Liberal is sure of
his liberty • accordingly, those in. Andalusia and EStreniadurit
who would have nothing to fit it if it were literally executed, fly
to Gibraltar for refuge. At Cadiz, an Fnglish loan is spoken
of, to make war on the Algerinca, and that it is to be fifteen
millions of pounds sterling.. All possible precautions are taken
at Cadiz against the yellow fever, some eases .of are Will
to have occurred in the environs.

On Monday the King was present at a grand bull-fight, at
which three Picadores were • dangerously wounded, and five
horses killed. • •
The drought is excessive in all Spain; processions are every
where
.made to implore rain, but the Priests pretend that Gon
will not listen to these prayers, because so many Liberals are
unpunished. They have even made oon. himself diclare
this, in a letter found in the hand of a. famous Pradonna at Sa-
ragossa. One would think we were in the thirteenth century.
The seven ship of war building in our arsenal are to be com-
pleted with all possible dispatch.

improvement to this splendid Palace. A small temporary
porter's lodge is now building, at which the workmen employed

COURT OF CHANCERY—(Tms

The LORD CHANCELLORWas occupied in hit
private chamber for a short time prior_ to
coming into Court this morning. On taking -his'
seat, his Lordship said he. had now gone through,
the papers in that long litigated Cause of Brown
and De Tastet, and would dispose of that pal-t2,-.
which related to Mr. Courtenay's Report pa:.
Tuesday.
SENDING LETTERS TO HIS LORDSHIP.—Iiii
Lordship then said, -there was a cause-of exparte
Smith, in which he had meant to have given judg-i
ment this day, but as Mr. Smith had thought' lit
to Write to his Lordship a letter, which he now,
held in his hand, and also to forward him Bevel-rd:-
affidavits, he should not do -so without making:,
the other side acquainted with their contents.
lie had had frequent occasion to deprecate such.:
conduct, but in the present instance he made:,
every allowance for the- anxiety of that gentle—
man ; still -however it was but fair that all should
be aware of what was communicated to the Court,
and, until the Counsel on the other side had read
the papers, he should postpone giving judgment..

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(Tms DAY.)
EX-PARTE CARTER IN THE MATTER OF MIN.,
CHIN, A BANKRUPT.—This cause, which has been
so often before the public, was this day again set
down for hearing, on a motion made by the par-
ties. On its being called on, Mr. BEAL]) said he
had received no notice that it was to be heard,
and had not had the affidavits, After some COQ-.
versation, the Vice-CBANcier.Loa ordered it to
stand over, observing, that the system of having
causes set down for hearing ought to be put a
stop to, unless the parties appeared when it was
called on.

PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MAT 7.

Lord CA RBERY presented a petition from Thomas Allen,
the agent of Francis Stephen Dillon, one of the claimants of
the Roscommon Peerage, praying that the consideration of the
claims to the said Peerage might be postponed, as the peti-
tioner's client, being a prisoner for debt in Dublin, had not
yet been able to procure certain documents necessary to
his case.

Lord REDESDALE presented a counter-petition from an-
other claimant, of the name of Dillon, stating that he had been
in attendance for forty days with his witnesses, and praying
that the consideration of the case might not be unnecessarily
postponed. _ _

After some conversation, it was agreed to postpone the fur-
ther proceedings on the claim until the 13th of the present
month.

Lord CARBERY presented a petition from the Clergy and
other Inhabitants of the Diocess of Cork and Ross, which
complained that a School had been removed from Ross to Cork,
and that the Salary allowed to the School had been taken away
by the Board of Education, and prayed that the same might
be,restored.

Lord RAVENSWORTH presented a petition from a
Parish in the County of ,Durham, praying for the abolition
of Slavery.%
On the motion for the second reading of the United General
Gas Bill, the LORD CHANCELLOR stated some objections to
the wording of several clauses, and hinted that the measure re-
quired more consideration than it appeared to haVe received
elsewhere. He reminded their Lordships that no redress could
be obtained from the company except in their corporate capa-
city. He observed, that one Clause provided that their capital
should not exceed 1,000,0001., but how much that capital was
to be, whether 1001. or 100,000/., was no where stated.
After a short conversation between the, LORD CHANCEL-
LOR, Lord REDESDALE, and the Earl•of SHAFTESBURY,
the second reading was postponed till Monday.

MR. BOOTH, THE ACTOR.

( From a New York Paper of (FMK 7.)
We regret to state that this gentleman, whose
great improvement as a tragedian has of late be-
come so conspicuous, has been afflicted within
these few
days with mental derangement.
It is
said that this has been occasioned by the sudden
death of his wife. It has been found necessary
to place him under restraint, to prevent him from
doing injury to himself or friends ; but it is
hoped that by the kind attentions of the family
under whose charge he now is, his recovery will
be speedily effected. His benefit was to have
taken place on Wednesday evening.
ANOTHER AccouNT.---We regret to learn that
this distinguished actor was seized with a violent
fit of insanity on Saturday. On Friday night he
played Othello, and in some passages is said to
have been inimitably fine,• while in others it was
thought by some he was turtling the character of
the Moor into burlesque. In the dying scene he
even excelled himself. But before the drop of
the curtain, he turned over facing the audience,
raised his head upon his hand, and said," There,
what do you think of that !" These circum-
stances were looked upon as very strange at the
moment ; but no further notice was taken of it
at the time. About eleven o'clock on Saturday
he was in the entrance of the theatre, conversing
with #ilr.Woodhull, when suddenly, but with au
air of calmness, he said to W-- " I must cut
somebody's throat to-day, and whom shall I
take ? Shall it be Wallack, or yourself, or
who ?" Woodhull asked what he meant. "Why,
I mean what I say," replied I3ooth. 'Woodhull
then observed that he was grasping a dagger
wbsststa t a
by
under his coat ; and at the very moment Wallack
pasosoeddhaulioi
ncga'lleid3oohtillinniaatdettale sane a
le t hire,it
pass
turning round, the blow missed its object. Wal-
lack then rushed into the street, and Booth alter
him; and Woodhull after him, Booth gained
upon Wallack, and just as he was making a
plunge at his back, Walinek providentially
stumbled and fell, and Booth passed over him.—
He was then seized, disarmed, and secured. In
the evening he was taken to the house of a friend,
where he is treated with every kindness and at-
tention. He has become tranquil, and it is hoped
that he will soon recover from this painful indis-

iosition. [Miss Johnson, in Desde►nona, cer-
ainly ran a risk of being murdered by the
ealous Moor in good earnest, and may felicitate
►erself upon her escape.]

Letters from Malta, under date the sth of
June, advise the arrival there of the merchant
ship the Little Sag?' from London, hound to
Greece, with specie for the account of the Chris-
tian population of that interesting part of the
world. His Majesty's frigate, the Active, had
also arrived there from off Algiers. At the date
of the Malta letter the Marquess of ILtsumos,
the expatriated Patriot, was hourly expected to
arrive to assume the Government of that island.

rsTITION.

" To his Excellency Str.RALru .botrs Woopronn, Bart.,
timrnir and Corontandor-in-Chief in and over the said
Island and its bcpendencies, Vice-Admiral of the same, etc.

We, your Petitioner-a, his Majesty's loyal and dutiful sub-
jects, the free inhabitants of the Island of Trinidnd, respect-
fully approach yOur Excellency.
" We have read with grief and eliFnay the draft of an order
in Council, laid.by his Majesty's I.llinisters before both Hout.es
of Parliament, on the 15th chi of Mardi hat, and declared to
be intended for the improvement of the condition of the slam
in this colony. .

" We recognize; to the fullest extent, the power of the
Crown, founded upon those principles of British justice which
have secured to the meanest subject of the realin the undis-
turbed enjoyment and use of his property, until lie has re-
ceived full and fair compensation.
•
" We arc sincerely impressed with a grateful sense of our
Gracious Sovereign's beneficent intentions. We dutifully
sympathize with his Royal wish to meliorate the condition, and
promote the moral improvement, of the negroes, by adopting
measures in which due regard shall be paid to considerations of
justice ; which, by tempering zeal with caution, may lead to
practical good ; which, without harrassing the fortunes and the
safety of any classes of his Majesty's subjects, may promote the
welfare Of the slaves and that of their employers.
" We appeal fearlessly to your Excellency to witness. that
every heart in this island beat in unison with this his Royal
wish : that. these, his Royal words infused joy and gladness
Into the breast of every inhabitant of the colony.
" Animated by loyalty, and by gratitude, we feel it to be
our first duty, to aid in promoting these his gracious intentions.
and to oppose ourseltes to every obstacle, which may tend to
disappoint his beneficent views. Actuated by these senti-
ments only, we, the 'free inhabitants of the colony of Trinidad,
respectfully beg leave to express to your Excellency, our
solemn conviction, that the. execution of the whole provisions
and clauses of the aforesaid Order in Council, will inevitably
prove rui:•:ous to the property of the master; injurious and
demorilizing to the slave; peculiarly hazardous to the lives of
the freecoloured inhabitants, under part of the :Ifith clause of
that order ; and totally subversive of our gracious Sovereign's
benign intentions.

%I.c, your Petitioners, therefore humbly pray that your
Excellency will be graelously pleased, under the authority
vested y,ou-by thelaws now in farce, to stay the promulga-
tion and, the execution of the proposed Order in Council, until
a true representation of its eflects may be made to his Majesty's
Ministers, to be laid at the foot of tbe throne for his Majesty's
gracious consideration.

" And by so doing your Excellency will avert that catas.
trophe which must otherwise involve every class in this Colony
in one common ruin; and will deserve the sincere and grateful
thanks of a loyal and affectionate community.
44 And we your Petitioners shall ever pray," &c:

MAURITIUS, FE.n. 25.—0 n the 23d our untor-
tunate colony again experienced the fatal effects
of a hurricane. Already what we know to have
occurred in Port Louis, and learn what happened
in different parts of the island, convince us that
the disasters caused six years ago by a similar
scourge, frightful as they were have been surpassed,
and that the colony 'has suffered in a manner the
most fatal both for its commerce and its agricul-
ture. During the night between the 22d and
230 there were few indications of the approach-
ing tempest ; but after 12 at noon 'on the 23d,
the mercury in the barometer began to descend
tepidly. The -h..fore and the hour after
the betting of the sun were the period when
the storm was at its utmost fury. yesterday
morning the roads presented a frightful spectacle :
vessels cast no shore ; others run foul of the
bridges and distillate(' ; and the whole in a state
of damage of which there has been no parallel
seen here for more than 30 years. The build-
ings m:ist exposed to the effect of thehurricaneove,re
the houses
.of the Champ de Loll and the ltoval
College. One of. its most extraordinary -results
Was the shock, given to the house Lafargne.
This immense edifice, by the force of the
wind, was so nearly overthrown, that it ap-
peared ready every moment to fall and crush
under its ruins forty children, and the per-
sous employed in their instruction. All of
them, however, had time to escape, for the build-
ing remained nearly in the same slate (luring the
remainder of the storm. Though the damage sus-
tained was nearly equivalent to ita total destruc-
tion, the edifice slid not fall to the ground. A
fire broke out at the period when the storm Was
at its height, but the house in ‘vhich it occurred
being insulated, no further mischief occurred.

aver by
a Kiehn line
Ab:ol.yto,
The following evidence was received on the first day'of the
inquest, which was adjourned until Wednesday evening, for the
purpose of receiving more satisfactory evidence :
Richard Stubbs, Esq. of Highgate, being sworn, deposed
that on Alonday last, about half past nine o'clock, he was pro-
ceeding to London on the top of Graham and Co.'s Kentish-
town stage.coach, when the accident occurred, at the time
the horses were going at a moderate pace, about seven miles
an hour; the coach had two horses attached to it, and the
number of passengers on the coach was that allowed by Act of
Parliament. On the arrival of the coach nearl Opposite the
tavern, the deceased, who was on left hany
d of the
road, carrying an earthenware jug, attempted to run across
the road, while the stage-coach was driving, and another stage-
coach was at the bead. The deceased, as be was passing
across the road, was 'knocked down either bfthn
pole of the
coach or the horse's chest,
and the wheels of the coach passed
completely over his body. Witness was so very much agitated
that he observed no more of the accident. When the accident
occurred, the coachman alighted frotn'the box, and rendered
the boy every assistance in his power. Witness did not think
that there was any racing or competition between the stage-
coaches at the time; (lid not think the coachman saw- the de-
ceased at the time; did not hear the coachman call out to the
boy.

Robert Aldham, Gentleman, of lientish-town, being sworn,
deposed that he was an outside passenger on Graham's coach
when the accident took place. He saw the deceased. run over
by the wheels, after which he Fot on his legs and attempted to
run, but he fell down. He spit-blood after the accident. The
coach was on the near aide of the read. If witness had been
driving he could not have prevented the accident. The coach
wal going at 0 or 9 Milts an hour.
Thomas Goss, of'Mansiield-cresent, deposed that he saw the
accident. The two'coaches were driving in the London direc-
tion at a quick rate. The coachman called out to the deceased
ten or twelve yards before the accident happened. The horses
were galloping at the time the two near wheels passed-over the
deceased's body.
Mr. Thomas linxley, of the Temple, was sitting on the.
dickey when the accident occurred ; he thought it an accident.
Mr. Charles Larab thought no blame was attached to the
coachman.

Mr. Smith, wine-merchant, said the coach was running ten
or twelve miles an hour. Could not say whether the horses
were galloping or not.
The inquest was resumed yesterday, when several other wit-
nesses were examined, and the Jury, after a very long consulta-
tion, returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," with a dcodand
of 51. on the coach, &c.
Mr. Graham, after the verdict was delivered, offered to pay
the expences of the deceased's funeral.

FATAL PUGILISM.

TILE KING v. COItNELII WILLIAMSON.
Mr. STARKEY moved for a writ of Habeas Corpus to bring
up the body of Cornelius Williamson, committed on the Co-
roner's Inquest, on a person named Butterworth, to Lancaster
gaol. The object was to bail the defendant.
It appeared from the affidavits on which the application was
made, that the deceased had a dispute on the 15th of June
with two brothers, named Williamson. Cornelius Williamson,
who is a shopkeeper at Ashton-under-Line, fought the deceas-
ed, and threw hint on the floor. The deceased died in the
course of the conflict, having struck his head against the wall.
The Jury found, by their verdict, that his death was occasion-
ed by a blow.

GAMING HOUSES.
The ATToatiE v-GEitzna.r. moved for a rule to shewcause
why an Attorney of the Court should not restore 4801. to John
Fielder and also why his name should not be struck off the
rolls. He had taken the money from Fielder in consideration
of not calling for judgment upon a conviction for keeping a
gaining-house: Fielder was afterwards called up and received
judgment.
The Counr said lie might take a rule for striking his name
off the rolls ; but Fielder being a particep, -there could
be no reason for restoring the money.
Rule granted to show cause why the attorney's name should
not be struck off the rolls.

LEWIS V. WALTER.
This was an action against The rimer newspaper for an al.
leged libel on the plaintiff; an attorney, who had been nOnsuited
on the ground that an allegation in the declaration that the libel
was of and concerning him in his character of attorney, was
not proved in evidence. On a motion made for setting aside
the nonsuit and granting a new trial, the Court took time to
consider the case, and now held that the allegation in question
wits divisible, and on the authority of the case of May v.
Brown, decided the other day, they made the rule absolute.

PAPAL JUBILEE.--The latest intelligence from
Rome states, that on Thursday the 27th of May
the Pope caused the general Jubilee for 1825 to

city. It will commence on Christmas Eve this
year, and continue twelve months. This event is
of every twenty•fve years recurrence, but poli-
tical circumstances prevented its taking place in
1800.

The )Ate genial rains have been most fortunate
for the crops of every description, and for the general impreve.
meat of the land. The Wheat is bursting finely into ear ; the
Barley anti Oats give promise of a most abundant crop.—'lime
rains,. although so highly beneficial for the Grain, has very
much impeded the Hay harvest; but little has been got in, and
that in very indifferent condition ; the general mowing h is not
commenc Ai in these part;; the Gras .continues growing, and
a great weght will be found upon the ground should the season
prove fine.—The general appearance of all the crops of Grain
is tine in the extreme. The Potatoes, of which great quantities
have been planted, look very promising, and chew an early
blossom.—The Saintfoin and Lucern crops have proved most
abundant, and are found highly useful to the mulch cows and
working horses. These forwlvrd grasses are getting very much
into request, many farmers th:s year have planted Potatoes in
order to clean their land for sowing Saintfoin and 'ilium next
spring.—The Carrots promise a very heavy return.—lops art
much recovered ; the crop will be an average one this seasom—
Apples and Pears in some parts have suffered front the late
frosts, but a good year may be expected.—Stock of all kinds
keep up their pric.l, good stores are much in 'request;. L 431,
generally speaking, farmers' faces are considerably shortened,
this is a cheering symptom.

posed bias, therefore, of the Slave Proprietors,
from motives of self-interest, against every- pro-
ject for the improvement of the Negroes, we
are strongly inclined to believe that mischievous
,xaggerations are more to be apprehended from
the pretended friends of the slaves than from
Weir masters. We can never forget that one of
the principa I arguments urged by the former in
favour of the emancipation of the slaves, is the
greater cheapness of free labour ; and we there-
fore look with an eye of the greatest suspicion
on the designs of philanthropists, the end of
whose benevolence is to extract from the labour-

ing population of tropical climates an immense
increase of severe bodily toil, and to reduce the
amount of the remuneration given for a less se.
rere exertion of labour under the present system.

LITERARY NOTICE.

LEM IRA of LORAINE. A Romance, in Three Volumes.
me merit of this work entitled it to an earlier
attention, particularly as we understand that it
was written by a Lady nearly connected with
a family distinguished for genius and learning,
from one of whose members the public have re-
ceiverl an admirable translation of the ./Eneid,
and from another a translation of a play of 2E3-
chylub (narked by extraordinary erudition, criti-
cal acumen, and poetical spirit. The romance of
Lemira of Loraine consists of a mixture of histori-
cal facts and real personages, during the time of
Louis XI V., with scenes and characters resulting
from the imagination of the fair Author. It seems
to have been her intention to form in her heroine
a model of female excellence. Lemira has all
the dignity suitable to her rank as a Princess,
all the amiable qualities that can adorn the
sex in every relation of life. She -is involved in
scenes of the, most affecting and trying descrip.
lion, but she preserves the uniform dignity of her
.character, and never relaxes in her zeal for vir-
tue, in tenderness, and in all the amiable quali-
ties that give value to the female character. In
Mellidor, she has given a counterpart of moral
excellence in a character, brave, dignified, hu-
mane, and patriotic. The fable is by no means
free from improbabilities, but it is obvious,
that the mere events of ordinary We are
.not to be expected in works of this nature.
it is sufficient if 'the incidents and situa-
AWN are such us do not exceed the limits
of absolute possibility, .and are calculated to
.excite a strong; interest in the Reader. Such
is the case with this Romance. Many of the
circuum•nstances are deeply affecting, and it is im-
,p,rssible to be begin the work and not feel such
sympathy with the principal characters as corn-
wls the mind to pursue the narrative to its final
result. But the fair Author has not drawn mere
‘irtuous and noble characters, but others of a
-lighter and of a darker nature, as in the careless
'but amiable Rosalie, the perfidious Villeron, and
the licentious Melanie, as well as in the faith-
-fel and affectionate Flora, and others. We will
not give a►► outline of the fable, because, in
the► first place, it would occupy more space than
we are able to spare, and in the next we will not
forestal the interest which the work will assured-
ly The language is correct, varied, and
animated ; the sentiments are always appro-
:priate to the persons. A moral energy and a
delicate refinement characterize the work alto-
,getlker, and it is impossible for the Reader to
rise from it without being strongly touched with
sensibility, and deeply impressed with the interests
,of virtue.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.

Yesterday the General Meeting of the British
and . Foreign Bible Society was held in the large room of the
Freomasons' Hall. Lord T 1: la x3lO UTIf in the Chair.

The Secretary read the Report, which gave a detailed ac-
count of the great progress of the Society in every part of the
globe. The issue of Bibles in new dialects had been greater
during the last year than on any former occasion. They had
copies of the Sacred Volume printed in the Esquimaux and
Otaheitan languages, and the light of Divine truth was now
penetrating in the most benighted countries. The account of
the Scriptures having been printed and circulated throughout
Ireland in the Irish language, was received with particular
applause. It had also been printed in the Welsh language,
with notes. The Report mentioned that since the last Anni-
versary 47 new Auxiliary Institutions had risen to their aid.—
The statements contained in it were throughout received with
marks of high satisfaction.
The Earl of HAttnownr, the Earl of It °DEN. the Bishop
of LITCHFIELD, Lord BEXLEY, Sir CHARLES GRANT, Mr.
GURNEY, Sir C. IsoLts, and several other Gentlemen ex-
pressed their high satisfaction at the progress that had been
made.

The Rev. Dr. Moanrsos stated that the Bible was already
made the test book in several of the Chinese Foititutions, and
he had no doubt of its making due progress. The French Ad-
miral Count VERUAULL gave assurance of the successful pro-
gress of the Bible Society of Paris ; and the whole of thc pro-
ceedings of the day were in the highest degree satisfactory._
Thanks were unanimously voted to the Piesident, Secretaries,

nurse, that she had a concealed treasure of gold, silver, and
bank-notes, amounting to between three and fbur hundred

where it was hidden. Previously to her death, a relative, who
had been informed of the circumstance, came and took poses-
