BIBLE SOCIETY
INTERFtOPTZO pY AIR DAHL ENzmus OF RELIGION.

Monday
evening a very numerous and respect.,
able Illeeting•of 0161i:wipe Bible Auociation took place at the
Church. of St. Leonard's, Sliorediteh, for the purpose of re-
ceiving the 13th Report of that Society,
ciety) rose and endeavoured to obtain a hearing ;
Mr. Tar.ort (the 'Secretary of the Christian Evidence So-
but the Meet-
ing, who seemed to be as well aware of his person they they were
of the object of his visit, raised such a cleat ping cry of turn
him ant, turn him out 1" that it was almost impossible to catch
a word he said.—Cor/ile was supposed to be present.
The Bev. Mr. FannEtt commenced by complimenting the
Ladies upon their eaertiona, as well as the beneficial effects cc.
suiting bent them, which be thought must be extremely grate,
ful to their feelings. The Rev. Gentleman then took an en.
larged view of the state of the Society, and of those stations
where the Gospel was not'known, and the gradual improvement
resulting from knowledge of the Scriptures, all producing in
its advancement civilization and peace to thosawho were igno,
rant; and stated that where infidelity and opposition to the
Bible were most prevalent, robberies, murders, and tyranny
were melt predonuriant,--( Here Mr. Taylor vocifereted " No,
no, no !")—His friends joined, and a scene of confusion en.
sued, which puts description out of the question. Alrhen order
was in part restored, the Gentleman lamented the interruption,
but to prove his assertions he would appeal to the horrific scenes
at the early part of the French Revolution ; and in glowing
terms depleted the carnage that resulted from those times.
Taximu and his associates appeared unable to bear the
powerful appeal of the Rev. Gentleman,. and
Mr. Tart.oft rose and exclitlined—" It's false, it's false."
He also seemed inclined to address the Meeting, but was pre.
vented by the cries of " Turn him out,"
The Rev. Mr. Cuosny insisted upon either Mr. Taylor's 3i.
lenee, or that he should leave the Meeting.
Mr. BURNELL (a Magistrate), said he would call upon the
officers to assist him in the exercise of such a duty.
eit this period several Ladies in the galleries faluted, and the
uproar exceeds description,
After the dissolution of the meeting, a kind of a rush wag
made to get at that part of the Church winch it was expected
Mr. Taylor would pass through, and the isle where it was
thought he would go by was completely chokt d. Ile wished to
address the meeting, but the officers in clearing the church,
cleared the church of him. tie was however followed by a vast
crowd of persons along Shorediteh, as fur as the turnpike-gate,
when, in order to get rid of his companions by a stratagem, two
of his associates suddenly darted down the street. This, for a
moment, bad the desired effect, as it drew a part of the popu-
lace in pursuit, thinking that Mr. Taylor was (moor the rooters.
The majority, however, were not to be deceived, but continued
to &How Taylor (hissing and crying send him to the watch
house") until a coach arrived, when he and a few others got into
It and two having mounted behind, the coach went off at full
speed.
