ANNIYERSARY MEETING Or THE AUXILIARY
LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY.-The following
account of the Meeting was handed to us :—The
Meetings held in this city, during the present
week, in aid of the " London Missionary So-
ciety, established in 1795," have proved that
the citizens of Bristol, amidst the many calls
ou their benevolence of a local nature,
are very far from forgetful of the degra-
dation and misery of Heathen nations. Upwards
of 6001. were cheerfully contributed towards the
cause of Missions ; and a spirit of union, harmony,
and love, pervaded the large assemblies in a degree
scarcely ever witnessed, even on similar occasions.
ThedetAiled account ot the operationsof theSociery
abroad were satisfactory in a high degree; and prove
that wherever Bibles awl Missionaries find their
way, all the blessings of civilization follow in their
train. Special interest was excited by the fact that
several dt the Society Islands, in the South Seas,
are now professedly Christian. The public idols
are burnt ; and laonrarre, the King of those
Islands, has sent his household deities to tine
Directors, to spew what " foolish gods" he has
I.),:en accustomed to serve. The largest of these
was exhibited, it is simply a log of %yowl, about
three feet long, covered with a matting rather cu-
riouslywrought, and decorated with feathers !
To remove such miserable • superstitious, and to
teach these and other benighted heathens a
" mote excellent way" is the design of Mis-
sionary Societies ; land the following collections
prove the interest of our fellow-citizens in this

important cause :

It is rumoured that several new arrangements
in the Law Department of this count: y will take
place at. the commencement of the November
Term. Report says, that Mr. Justice DAY means
to retire. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL will be the
new Judge, but it is understood that he ac-
cepts the lowest seat in the King's BtMeb, upon
the express condition of being promoted to the
Chief Justiceship, whenever it may become va-
cant. Mr. Sergeant Joy will succeed the SoLt-
crroa-GriNr:RAL. The new Sergeantship, it is
believed, will be conferred on Mr. Chaittnan
'IORRENS, though Lord MANNERS is Olititi'SlOOCl
to have particularly interested himself in favour
of Mr. Lri.Feov.—(Dublin Freeman's Journal.)
EDNAM MEETING.—OII Tuesday the 2211 tilt.
the Edwin) Club met us usual, to celebrate the
birth-day of the great l'oet of the " Seasons," at
his native village, Capt. R. IVALKER, R. N. in the
chair. Many appropriate toasts were given on
the occasion. Mr. Lundie presented to the meet-
ing a small painting of the poet, in miniature,
which had been sent to him for that purpose by
the Earl of Buchan, with a letter, in which he
requested their acceptance of it. This miniature
is.a copy from the original portrait of 'I homson
by Slunglier, which is now in his Lordship's col-
lection, and gives to the physiognomy of the poet
a more pleasing and animated expression than
what is usually seen. The meeting accepted with
much satisfaction this appropriate present, and
drank the health of the donor witl► due respect.
An open Committee, which "as to meet at Ed-
nam yesterday, was appointed to inspect the dif-
ferent proposed sites for the long delayed monu-
n►ent, to examine the plans which have been
made, and to report to a general meeting in Octo-
ber, by whom it is expected it will be definitively
arranged, so that the work may he contracted
for, and begun as soon as the season will permit.
