On Friday the annual general meeting of the members of the
Town Missionary Society was held at the Freemasons' Tavern,
Great Queen.street ; John Dean Paul. Esq., in the chair. From
the report read by the secretary, it appeared that the object of the
society was to employ agents to read the Scriptures to the poorer
classes in the towns and villages throughout the country. The
society had been the means of originating 52 missions, employing
120 missionaries ; but some of them, owing to a want of sufficient
support, had been discontinued. Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool,
Bristol, Norwich, and Chelmsford, were amongst the towns visited
by the missionaries, and where a great many successful as well as
unsuccessful attempts had been made to improve the spiritual con.
dition of the people. The society maintained 15 agents; and the
income during the year amounted to 8011., while the expenditure
was 1,0871.; and in addition to which there were outstanding debts
to the amount of 601. The report having been adopted. and seve-
ral resolutions pa.sed, the meeting separated.
The anniversary meeting of the Sydenham Society was held on
Friday, in the rooms of the society, in Frith.street, Dr. Ayrton
Paris, President of the Royal College of Physicians, in the chair.
The report announced that the number of members was nearly
1,800, and that the proceedings of the society in the republication
and distribution of old and valuable medical works amongst the
profession were highly satisfactory. The operations of the society
had been greatly facilitated by the exertions of the numerou local
secretaries appointed in most parts of the country.
The anniversary meeting of the members of the Horticultur
Society was held on Thursday at their rooms, Regent-street, R. H.
Adly, Esq., in the chair; and amongst the members present were
Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., Sir Robert Price, Bart., M.P., and Sir
W. Middleton, Bart. The report of the auditors stated that the
income during the year amounted to 7,3521., the payments to
7,1021., and that the outstanding debts had been reduced to
9,557/. From the report of the Council it appeared that great
alterations and improvements had been made in the gardens at
Chiswick, the great conservatory alone having cost 2,0001. Con-
siderable expense has been incurred in obtaining foreign Irnporta. I
lions, and in sending out expeditions to collect all that was calcu-
lated to advance the science of horticulture. A Club for chemical
investigation had been formed in connexion with the Society, and
from the researches of which great hopes are entertai,ed. After the
adoption of the report, the Duke of Devonshire was elected Pre.
sident, and the members of the Council having been appointed, the
meeting adjourned.
Oss Friday there was issued, by order of the House of Lords, a
reprint of an account (first issued in 1835) of the ecclesiastical
revenues of all dignities and benefices of the sees of St. Asaph and
Bangor, on an average of three years, ending 1831. It thence
appears that the total amount of the average gross yearly income
of the see of Bangor was 6,580/., and of St. Asaph 7,408!. That
the permanent yearly payment made out of the revenues of the
former see were 2,1161., leaving a net yearly income of 4,4641.;
and that the permanent yearly payments out of the revenues of St.
Asaph were 1,1071., leaving a net yearly income of 6,3014
On Friday was held, at the Freon s' Tavern, the annual
meeting of the Camden Society (fur the publication of early hibto-
rical and literary remains). The. President, Lord Braybroke, took
the chair, and was supported by a number of gentlemen of eminence
in the literary and antiquarian world. From the state.nents made,
it appeared that the funds of the society continued prosperous, and
that the investment in the funds had been considerably increased
during the year. Four volumes of historical or literary Interest
aid value had been during that period issued to the members, in-
cluding an early translation of Polydore Virgil's History of the
Reigns of Henry VI , Edward IV., and Richard 111. Numerous
other works of great curiosity and importance were represented to
be preparing for publication, or nearly ready to be distributed to
the society. The expenditure had been upwards of 965/., but the
receipts, exceeding 1,1771., there remained in the hands of the
treasurer a balance of 2111. odd, besides numerous subscriptions
that had not yet been paid.
The Commissioners have decided that in future the Siring Cir.
c' .tits shall commence invariably on the lit of February, and that
on that day six weeks the sittings in London and Middlesex shall
take place. By this arrangement it is believed the terms will not
be disturbed, and the Winter Circuits may be dispensed with.
