" Salvation ! Let the echo fly
The spacious earth around ;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound."
The Rev. J. M o ND AY, a Missionary from Chinsurab, in
the East Indies, seconded the Resolution. Ile bad been told
in London, not to waste the time of a Meeting in discus-
sing the importance and necessity of all persons uniting to
promote the interest of societies for the conversion of the
e
heathen, but to state at once what bad already be d
for the salvation of those benighted people, an d to en
shone
to what extent the societies already formed had been suc-
cessful. The first object had been to establish Schools ;
it was with great difficulty the Gospels and other books
could be introduced into these establishments but such
had been the change, that they had since been sought after
with the greatest avidity. In scarcely any of the schools,
for a length of time after they were instituted, did th
80
e
number of boys exceed 30 ; they average now,
from
to 160 ; equal success had also attended the Schools esta.
blished for the instruction of Adults. 11light they not
then say, they had not laboured in vainall , or
the spent

strength for nought. The chapels in
stations were well filled with attentive hearers,
and the
prejudices that formerly existed were rapidly dying away.
It ight trul be said " the fields were white already unto
hem harvest."y
lle would now relate an anecdote to the
t
deaf and dumb from his birth,
meeting t a little boy,

ire-
specting his knowledge of God—to all of which questons

society.Gntleman) could
assure them eeting that the state of in Calcutta had
very much altered within the last few years, there were now
Alissionary Societies in that city, at which considerable
sums were raised yearly ; the Government were very
favourably disposed, and several members of the Supreme
Council, Judges, together with the Officers of the Army,
regularly attended their evening worship—but he felt con-
vinced there was no occasion to tell them these things to
stimulate them to liberalityvein all the places he had
frequented large collections had been made, but he could
not conclude without relating one striking instance of zeal
for the missionary cause that occurred at Maidstone. A
poor labouring man, as he passed the- plate, with tears in
his eyes dropped five shillings into it, and the next morn-
ing when he (Mr. Mundy) was at breakfast, the oor
fellow again made his appearance, and said, " 0, Sip! I
could not test satisfied without bringing you five shilliogs
more it is all that I can afford, having a wife and six
small children dependin on me for support, and I can
only get twenty shillings snagek." The Rev. Gentleman
related several other anecdotes, amongst which was one of
a military officer, who from embarrassed circumstances
could not give money, and had therefore sent his sword and
helmet to the Society for the purpose of their being sol
for the benefit of its funds; and another, of a village in
Kent, where he was preaching sometime sin

GEORGE BENNziT, Esq. then addressed the meeting.
He bad listened with delight to the last speaker, and be
(Mr. B.) could bear witness to the truth of thenteresting
facts be had detailed. Ile had il company w his Rev.
Friend visited the school:, and knew well the exertions of
the Missionaries, and be could assure the

success might truly have been de
glowing colours. The natives of the East were now
kneeingfuly
convinced of the folly and sin of bowing the
idolatry. In the Presidency of Madras great good had
been achieved ; but for further particulars on this interest-
ing subject he would refer them to the last report of the
Missionary Society. The speaker then proceeded to re-
late the success that had attended the anal other
the Ailbus-
sionaties in the South Sea Islands, and ther parts

JOHN HARE, Esq. seconded the resolution, and begged
the Society to accept of a donation of 50/..—(Cheers.
Rev. J. MottaisoN next addressed the Meeting. lii
thought they had met that day under very happy circum
stances, the place they were assembled in offered a subject
of congratulation, belonging as it did to a sect who dif-
fered with them on minor points of doctrine. It" clearly
showed that the time was fast approaching when
" Judah
should not vex Ephraim, nor Ephraim envy Judah." The
sainted spirit of John Wesley would look down with de-
light on that assembly, in which different sects united in
one common cause, having for its aim the glory

On Saturday an inquest was held before Mr,
STIRLING, coroner, at the Buffalo's-head, New
road, Marylebone, touching the death of Thomas
George Young, an Excise-officer, stationed at Brent-
wood, in Essex, who committed suicide. Verdict,
temporary mental derangement.
An inquest was held before the same
on Coroner at
the Lion Inn, Shepperton, Middlesex, body
of John Green, aged 36.
Emma Alderson, a servant in the family of Charles
Chevill, Esq., of Walton-bridge-house, stated, that
on Wednesday morning, having occasion to go into
the garden behind her master's house, she was sur-
prised to find a strange man lying across one of the
footpaths in the garden; he groaned heavily, and
there was a quantity of blood about his person. She
instantly returned into the house, and alarmed the
\
inmates, when her master and a man-servant went
into the garden ; they found the deceased very
I shockingly wounded in the throat, from which the
blood was gushing very copiously. Verdict, " that
e the deceased cut his throat while labouring under
,t temporary derangement."

there were nearly 1,000 persons present.
It was moved by William Ashton, and seconded
by Patrick Flanigan, that Samuel Hoyle was a fic

The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed he meeting
He considered it a very great honour tto
be selected
to preside over such a meeting. He considered •
the poor of a country as the strength of that country.
Though they were met there to discuss the differ-
ences at present subsisting, between the manufac-
turers and their workmen, they were not tied exactly
to confine themselves to such a discussion, but ight
go to the source from whence their grievmances
flowed. ,
FRANK MIRFIELD hoped the weaverse

to Doncaster raced. He was Prime Minister
and
received a• large salary; it would. therefore be ad-
visable to send over a few persons to
represent to
him personally the distresses of Barnsley, and to so-
licit his Grace's benevolent assistance towards alle-
viating it. He did not think be would give a great

PATRICK FLANIGAN then proposed that a deputa
tine should be sent to the different towns where the
linen trade was carried on, for the purpose of ascer-
taining the rate of wages which they were respec-
tively paying. In the course of his observations, he
incidentally dropped a recommendation to them to
send a deputation to the masters, to see what they
would do. This remark was met by cries of ." We
will have the list price and nothing else."—" Itsbad
enough that."
FLANIGAN—I do not want any thing else.
Considerable noise having taken place, the Chair-
man rose to order.
FLANIGAN then proposed the following Resolution :
" That a deputation be appointed to go to Wigan,
Manchester, Darlingtoa, Knaresboough, Leeds, Brunton,
York, Scc., to procure front those towns as exact a hat of
the prices that they are paying as can be procured, and to
report the same to. a meeting, which shall be called imtne-

This Resolution was carried by a large majority.

persons to form the proposed deputations :—James

Barnsley, Friday Evening, Eight o'
Our reporter has just arrived from Barnsley, and
states that the town has been perfectly tranquil dur-
' ing the whole of the present week, and still remains
so. We are sorry to have to say that 110 adjust-
then- of the differences has yet Thoun place between
the masters and their weavers, gh we think that
some disposition towards reconciliation is to be per-
ceived, and in our next paper we hope to have the
pleasure to announce a termination of the contest.
The following is a copy of the memorial presented
to his Grace the Duke of Wellingtansweyr, of which
on, b the Barns-
ley deputation, with his Grace's
the subjoined is a copy :
" TO THE LORD NOBLE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON,
FIRST L COMMISSIONER OF lIIS MAJESTY'S
TREASURY, &C. '
" May it please your Grace,—The distressed and
suffering linen-weavers of Barnsley humbly beg
leave to approach your Grace for the purpose of
laying before you the deplorable situation toresent which
your memorialists are reduced by
the p un-
paralleled stagnation in every branch of the trade,
manufactures, and commerce of this county, and
particularly to state, that from concurring causes,
their misery has become so great as to deprive them
of most of the necessaries of life.
" Your memorialists humbly state, that the remu-
-
neration for labour has, for several years, been gra
dually decreasing--3o much so, that the labouring
population of the town of Barnsley cannot, as a
body, at the present price of labour, procure what
is necessary for the maintenance of themselves and
families ;—that, at present, a further diminution of
labour is proposed by several of the principa lows l manu
ate
-
facturers of the town, but that the present
of wages is suchlas to disincline your memorialists
from consenting to, or being able to endure, any
further reduction.
" To enable your memorialists to withstand a
further reduction of their wages, a trifling contribu-
tion from your Grace would be received with grad.;
tude, but your examinesmorialist are more anxious that
you would carefully into the causes which
so extensively operate in lessening the demand for
labour, and which bring in their train poverty, misery,
and wretchedness among all classes.
" Your memorialists beg to state a fact,
for the
consideration of your Grace, that since the princi-
ples of ' free trade' have been in operation, the
trade of the town has been declining, and although
there has been a greater exportation's f linen goods
under the new policy, yet the qtity of goods
manufactured had been gradually decreasing so that
at this period, notwithstanding the increase of the
export trade, ther t more than two-thirds the
ntity of goodse manufactured which were before
qua
the new policy was introduced.
" The public calenders where the goods are
a
finished bear d
Wretchednessnco of yourble evidence of this fact, and
the hunger nalists
are additional testimony.
" May it therefore please your Grace to
ascertain
whether it be not more the interest of this nation t 3
have sure mid regular employment for its own
labourers at home, by a natural demand for their own
manufactured goods, rather than pursue a system
1
which deprives the labourers of England of the
labour of consuming the produce of their own
labour, and which only offers an uncertain, and,
sometimes, ruinous trade abroad.
" And your memorialists will ever pray.
" Signed by the-Chairman in behalf of the meeting."
THE DUKE'S ANSWER.
" The puke of Wellington received the deputa-
tion from the Barnsley weavers very graciously, and
after expressing his regret at the outrages that had
been committed, and his sympathy in the distress of
the weavers and their families, he assured there that
their memorial should be laid before the Board of
Trade, by whom it would receive due consideration,
and that they should hear from him speedily."

The Duke of WELLINGTON was, on Thurs-
day, observed laughing heartily
