The Anniversary Meeting of this laudable In-
stitution was held on Tuesday, at the Freemasons' Tavern,
Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, for the purpose of
reading the Report, and snaking arrangements for the future
year, when a most numerous and respectable company, con-
sisting of Bishops, Reverend Divines, and various Noblemen
and Gentlemen of distinction, attended.
The Right Reverend the Bishop of LONDON was called to the
Chair, on which the Report of the SoCiety was read by the Secrp-
tary, Dr. PA alma; which stated, that the Society have issued,
on the Society's terms, 4,038 packets of books to their Members,
between the audit of 1023 and 1824, consisting of 43,867

livered gratuitously, and a considerable number of religious
papers for Sunday schools—" Stonehouse on Drunkenness,"
Invitations to Church," and other works of a religious ten-
dency, have been circulated by the Society. The total number
of Bibles, &c. issued to members on the terms of the Society,
granted gratuitously on special applications, and delivered to
members for their gratuitous distribution, amounts to 1,454,818,
including Bibles, New Testaments, and Psalters, Common
Prayer-books, other bound books, small tracts, &c. and books
and papers of a religious nature.
The Report announced several instances where the Society

derable effect and diffusion of knowledge in various parts, and
it met with considerable applause.

where a sumptuous entertainment was provided for upwards of

THE SOCIETY_FOIt I;;.NI4ARGING AND EUILDLNG

CHURCHES AND CHAPELS.
The Sixth Anniversary Meeting of this Society
was held yesterday at Freemasons' Tavern—His Grace the
Archbishop of CANTERBURY in the Chair.
There were also present—the Archbishop of York, the Bishop
of London, St. Asaph, Chester, &c. ; and also the Right Hon.
Lord Kenyon, and Mr. Justice Park, and a very numerous
body of Clergymen of the Established Church.
His GRACE directed the Report to be read by the Rev. Mr.
Barrett, which stated, that the funds of the Society were nearly
exhausted, and rendered it necessary to appeal to the public-in
support of this laudable institution. It enumerated the num-
ber of Churches and Chapels that had been built and enlarged
in the course of the last six years, by grants from this Society ;
distinguishing the grants of each year, and amounting in the
whole to 64,800/. ; thereby affording free sittings to no less than
91,000 persons of the poorer class of society, who would other-
wise be deprived of having the Gospel prsached to them.
His GRACE then read several Resolutions, and eulogized the
exertions of the Committee, and trusted it would be found that
they had done their duty, and that benefits had been de-
rived to society at large. Ho corteltiffeT by uoving that the
Report now, read be ..printed and circulated by means of the
Newspapers.
Mr. GIPPS, in supporting the Resolution, bore testimony to
the unremitting exertions of the Committee, and to the great
benefits that had been derived from the Society..-
Mr. Justice PARE, on the next Resolution being put from
the Chair, begged to call the attention of the Meeting to a most
important fact, that in no one instance had the expence in-
.
curred amounted to 11. a head for the sittings.
After some further observations from Mr. W. Cotton, Lord
Kenyon, the Archbishop of York, and others, in support of the
Society, an Address was voted to the Public, praying their be-
nevolent interference.
Thanks were yoted to his Grace the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, and the Meeting dissolved.
