MR. IRVING.

This morning soon after twelve o'clock, the Presbytery
of London met at the Scotch church, London Wall, pur-
suant to adjournment, for the purpose of proceeding in
the case of the Rev. Mr. Irving.
As it was understood that the Presbytery were to pro-
nounce their judgment to-day, the church was filled to
suffocation.

At the commencement of the proceedings some discus-
sion took pl4ce upon Mr. Irving's putting in his claim to
be heard in reply to the speech delivered by Mr. M4nn
(on the part of the trustees) on Friday, and it was ulti-
mately agreed that Mr. Irving should be heard.
The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to address the
Presbytery in a very long speech, which it was probab!e
would last for several hours ; and it is expected that judg-
ment will not be given until late in the evening.

PARK.

A meeting of this society took place on Monday at the
theatre, Albemarle-street, Lord Stanley in the chair. The
report of the state of the society was most si.tisfactory. It
stared that the society had gone on increasing in prosperity
each succeeding year since its formation. The gross
amount of the income of the last year was 17.6621., being
an increase over the preceding year of 1,857/.—(Hear,
hear.) A similar increase also appeared on compaling the
corresponding four months of the past and present year ;
the reeeirs during the former being 3,330/., and those of
the last 3,7551. The society had been formed in 1827,
and ite progressive increase of prosperity would be best
shown by a statement of its annual receipts mine, then.
In 1827, they were 4,0791. ; in 1828, 11,515/. tin 1829,
13,991/. ; in 1830, 15,806/. ; an .I iu 1831, they
amounted to 17,662/. The number of visitors to the gar-
dens, in 1830, was 224,745, and, during the past year,
was 258,936 : the gross income derived from this source
during the former period, was 9,7731., and, during tle
latter, 11.425/. There had been 320 fellows admitted
since the last meeting, making the present total number of
fellows 2.074, after deducting 45 deaths, and 15 resigna-
tions. The report then proceeded to enumerate a long
list of rare and valuable animals and birds which had been
added to the collection during the year. In particular the
attention of the meeting was called to the splendid dona-
non of his Majesty of all the animals confined in the Me-
nagerie at the Tower of London. In accordance with his
Majesty's wish, where there were duplicates, the Surrey Zo-
ological Society, and foreign societies of a similar nature, had
been presented with some. The visitors to the society's col-
lection of Zoological curiosities had been, during the past
ye ar, 11,636, and the receipts 333/. It was the intention
of the society to devote 1,000/. annually to the improve-
meat of this department, and to the obtaining more suit-
able and extensive premises for displaying the specimens
collect. d. Arrangements had been ervered into with the
Gmunissioners of Woods and Forests, by which they had
obtained a grant of nine acres and a half ot land in the
gent's-park, contiguous to their gardens, and which
were intended to be appropriated to the uses of the society.
It was stated that five members of the Council had retired.
Lord Althorp was one. lie had written a letter, stating
that his zeal for the interests of the society was unabated ;
and should "any change chance to take place," which left
him more at his leisure, he should be most happy to ri sume
his situation in the Council and devote his time to the ad-
vancing the prosperity of the society.
The different ballots having been concluded, thanks
were voted to the Chairman, and the moting separated.
