WESLEYAN MISSIONARY MEETING.

Last evening, at seven o'clock, a highly num,_
roue and respectable Meeting of the Wesleyan Missionary
Society, took place at the Chapel, Great Queen-street, Lin..
coin's Inn-fields, for the purpose of receiving the Annual Re_
port of the proceedings of the Home Branch of the Society.
The Rev. Dr. CLARKE in the Chair, who enforced the neces-
sity of a co-operation, in order to promulgate the doctrines of
Christianity throughout the universe ; remarking, in the me-
morable words of the great Commander—" England expects
every man to do his duty," in this great cause. ,

The Secretary then read the Annual Report of the proceed-
ings of the Hoine Branch of the Society, which presented very
gratifying results from the unceasing exertions of the Mission-
aries,i in propagating the Scriptures : and it appeared that in
this branch of the Society 164 missions had been established,
and 175 schools for the religions instruction of about 11,564
scholars. The funds of the Society had increased considerably,
and a balance was left in hand, but the Report recommended
very forcibly the necessity of a larger supply, in order the
more extensively to carry on the
great undertaking.
JOsEpil BuTTEnvronTlt, Esq., M. P., in an eloquent
•
speech, recommended its adoption by the Meeting; which was
accordingly done, after some observations on the opposition ex—
perienced by the slissionaries in the Brest Indies.
The Rev. Mr. BRloas proposed, " That this Meeting do

The Climax(Am, in putting this Resolution to the Meeting,
recommended every person to consider well before he acquiesced
in the adoption of the Resolution, as ho did not wish to bind
persons to any thing which he did not consider well. He fervent-
ly hoped that Jerusalem, that land, which was once the seat of
Christianity, would be again rescued from the Infidels, and re-
stored to the rank it once held in the universe, he was the more
anxious on this point, as it was the land where the Apostles
revelations of Almighty God.—(Cheers.)—Fle then alluded first moved their mighty efforts to promulgate religion, and the
for-
cibly to the great struggle of Greece for its liberty against the
basest oppression that ever disgraced the annals of Christianity.
The Greeks he hoped would soon shake off the trammels of the
Infidel tyranny, and be soon enabled to receive the sublime
consolations of the Christian Religion, through the assistance
of the Missions of this Society.
The subject of the late insurrection in the Colonies was not
entered into at this Meeting.
