AitlS INSTITUTION.—Yester-
day the Annual Friends of the General Benevo-
lentrthNle T
Institution for the Relief of Decayed Artists, took-place
TnTnSBDEiNnnEeNr-
o o
at the Freemasons' Tavern, and was most numerously attended
by the lovers and encouragers of the Fine Arts.—His Royal
Highness the Duke of YORK being prevented by urgent busi-
ness from attending, as was expected, Sir WILLIAM ELFORD
was unanimously requested to take the Chair.—Among the
Company present were, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Mr. Shee,
Mr. Chantrey, Mr. Wilkie, Mr. Turner, and most of the
Royal Academicians. The Secretary's report of the state of
the Society was most satisfactory ; and at the present Meeting
several very liberal donations were made towards the increase
of its funds. Numerous patriotic toasts were drank, and hi-
larity and good fellowship crowned the day.
PORTEUSI AN BIBLE SOCIETY.--.The novel cir-
cumstances of this Society circulating their Bibles with a Gene-
ral Index of Contents, and with the more instructive and devo-
tional Chapters marked for the help of young and inexperienced
Readers, appears to have excited a considerable degree of inter-
est, and drew a highly respectable audience to their First Gene-
ral Meeting, which was held yesterday at the Freemasons'
Tavern. The subject having been recently adverted to in the
House of Lords, strongly recommending the adoption of a simi-
lar plan for the use of the Irish Peasantry, appeared to give
an additional zest to the numerous Speakers who delivered
themselves with animated confidence as to the utility and ulti-
mate success of the plan' and operations of the Society, not
merely as opening another door for the more extended circula-
tion of the Holy Scriptures, but affording at the same time a
peculiar facility in their more general and profitable reading.—
file Chair was taken by Major MOODY, Royal Engineers, who,
in the course of the day, enumerated various anecdotes tending
to shew the utility of the Porteusian Bible, and particularlythe satisfaction which was manifested at New York, when, as
soon as it was examined and approved, a Meeting of the inha-
bitants was immediately convened, with a view to the forma-
tion of a Society upon a similar plan.
INDIA.—Died on the 15th December last, at
frngolee, on his way from Ilydrobad to Eltich-
pore, ItoscaT GREIG, M. D., Staff Surgeon at
Elichpore. Thus, in the prime of life, society
has lost one of the best of men, whose talents,
accomplishments,. and amiable disposition, en-
sured him the love and admiration of all that
knew him. He has left a young widow and four
lovely infants to deplore their inestimable loss.
