DIAL WEIGHING MACHINES.

MARRIOTT having obtained his Majesty's
H Royal Letters Patent, for an improvement in Weighing
Machines, begs leave to recommend them go the Public, as the
most perfect .and useful article for that purpose ever constructed;
for accuracy, simplicity, expedition, and portability, it stands
unrivalled, as it INSTANTLY &hews the exact weight of any article
front One Ounce to a Ton, without the use of Weights, thereby
saving time and labour. Being perfectly portable, it may be used
in any situation—its universal utility must therefore be undeniable
for Domestic purposes; in Shops, Warehouses, Coach Offices,
Varket Houses, Berns; on Wharfs • at Races and Fairs; for Cattle,
Corn, I lay,Woul, 5t....; or for Loading heavy Articles, it may be
attached to the chain of a crane, and shew the Weight at the time
of craning; it may be also made with a chair to weigh Persons.—
From its extreme simplicity, it is scarcely possible to be in ;
yet. if it ever should be so, chore is an adjusting Screw which will
gnome:star* correct it.

General Bonnemains having left a garrisOn of Royalist
troops in Almeira, continued his march by Motril, where
he arrived on the 4th. In this expedition he gave freih
proofs of his zeal. He particularly praises Colonel de
Choiseul of the 19th Chasseurs for having perfectly se-
conded him. Meanwhile General Loveredo, who left
Grenada on the 30th, with five battalions of infantry,
two Regiments of Cavalry, and seven pieces of artil-
lery, directed his march on Malaga. He arrived there
ilon the 4th. Riego had gone off during the precedifig
night with about 2500 men. The troops which re-
mained there under- the command of General Porras
were made prisoners. They were in number 145, in-
cluding 1.12 artillerymen, 20 Officers, and 130 horses.
General Porras and his Staff had the same fate. Gene.
ral Saint-ehamans having dispatched in the direction
of Velez•Malaga the 20:h Chasseurs, supported by a
squadron of the 10th Dragoons, these troops charged
the .enemy's cavalry along nearly three leagues, and
took a regiment, called the King's Dralzoons, its Colo-
nel, a Lieutenant-Colonel, and a Chief of Squadron, 16
Officers, and 140 privates mounted, it:cl besides, a fine
squadron of horse artillery, 100 strong.
On leaving Malaga, Itiego had sent off, under the
convoy of a brig and an armed vessel, ten large boats
with hostages, and the money raised in the country._
Immediately on his arrival, General Loveredo dis-
pattll two gun-boats in pursuit of the convoy, which,
they overtook, and compelled the armed vessel, and
eight of the boats, to return to port. Rego took the
road to Velez-Malaga, hoping, no doubt, to gain Car-
diagena, but the movement of General Bonnemains
obliged him to throw himself into the mountains, and
Count* illolitor has taken measulesfUr cursuingzhine.
The operations of the siege of Pampeluaa commenced
on the I'd of this month. To enable- the• engineers• to
reconnoitre, the approaches and to open the trendies, it
was necessary that all the enemy's outposts should be
driven in. Marshal Lauriston accordingly caused' an

CITY OF LONDON AUXILIARY BIBLE
SUGIET

The Anniversary Meeting of the friends of this Insti-
tution- was held yesterday, at twelve o'clock, in the
Egytian Hall (Manion-House). The floor of that mag-
nificent chamber was exceedingly crowded; the plat-
form ste have seen mud) more numerously attended on
former occasions. Shortly after twelve o'clock. the
LORD Mayon, accompanied by ta•o Ladies, the Right
Hon. Lord 1!./xnnY, Mr. Alderman BROWN, Mr. Alder-
man TuomPsom, and several other Gentlemen, pre-
sented themselves to the Meeting, and were extremely
%Tell received.

The Loßu JlsYon, having taken the Chair, addressed
tl:e Assembly. I lis Lordship said, that before he called
on flick worthy Secretary to read the Report which had
been prepared, they would allow him to express his re-
gret that inJi.perisable busines of a public nature had
prevented his being as punctual to the appointed hour
as he could have wished. It was unnecessary that he
&mild prs'ceed to discuss the nature of the Institution
which they had met to commemorate, since eve® ar-
zurnent that could be urged for or objected against it,
hid been long since exhausted. It was at length de-
cide.►, by experience and time, that though in a few
cases some errors might possibly arise, and some mis-
aiefs might result, as regarded the minds of those who
were extremely ignorant and uninformed, from a pert'-
. sai of the Scriptures, yet, on the whole, the general dif-
fusion of the Bible among all classes was one of the
grmtte.t blessings that could by possibility be conferred
on them—(lleur, hear). His Lordship concluded by
requesting the Secretary to read to the Meeting the
Committee's Report.
The Secretary then read the annual Report, of which
the following are extracts:
" If your Committee have no surprising details to furnish of a
splendid success—if they make the frank avowal that the fruits of
their efforts have not been so abundant as on a former day, yet
they are not without the cheering persuasion, that the following
statement will inspire the joy and awaken the gratitude of the pre-
vent Assembly.
s' The Committee have the pleasure to inform you, that they have
teceived in the past year, In subscriptions, and on the sale of books
sad donations, £406. SA. 7d. and in remittances from the Associa-
tions, £519. 18s. Id. and that they have paid to the British and
Foreign Bible Society £715. Cs. 71 making a total of £15,921.
4.. 4d. paid to the Elretit Society since the establishment of the

_ .
•• The Committee have distributed, during the past year, 1,043
Bibles, 032 Testaments, making a grand total of 31,752 copies of the
Holy Sculptures circulated by your society."
The annual meeting being convened earlier than usual, the fol-
lowing explanation is given:

" A. the use of this Hall was given by the Chief Magistrate of the
City, and as it has been with considerable difficulty that arrange-
ments could be made amidst the pressure of business at the close of
the Mayoralty, it became of importance to fix the anniversary at a
/different period of the year. It is therefore proposed to transfer
gradually the public meeting from the autumn tospring.
" The Committee have to acknowledge with gratitude the import-
ant services which are performed at the Ladies' Branch of the So-
ciety. There are connected with that Society about 150 Ladies,
Who have, during the past year, cellected from among the poor
0E357, and who are new paying weekly visits to upwards of 604)
industrious families, in order to receive their humble bat cheerful
subscriptions."—The report having been read—
Lord 13Ext.iiv rose, and congratulated the Lord
Mayor and the Society on the appearance of so large
and so respectable a proportion of the inhabitants of
the metropolis at this season of the year, when an at-
tendance by no means so numerous might naturally
have been expected;—(lierrr.) This circumstance he
could not help looking upon as a certain indication, that
since the period of the last meeting of the Society it had
lost none of its former supporters. He (Lord Bexley)
derived pleasure from the recollection of having been
present at the first establishment of this auxiliary insti-
tution; and it was not without being reminded of some
matters that excited in his breast many serious mike-
tions, that he adverted to an occasion happening so
many years ago—reflections as to the condition of him-
self at that time, his friends, and his occupations ; .as to
the situation and prospects of this Society, apd, abOve
all, the situations and prospects of this Ireat country.
He could not but recollect, that at the period to which he
alluded, the country was engaged in that protracted and
awful struggle which was to determine the stability of
its greatness, and the existence of its liberty ; he could

not cease to remember that Great Britain was then, if
be might use the phrase, in the crisis of her fate : that the
great question was then undeterrhined, whether the extra-'
ordinary individual who had usurped the throne of one of
the greatest Powers in the world should prostrate at his
feet the independence and happiness of all Europe; or
whether England,under Pao VIDINC; would be enabled
to arrest his career, defeat his projects, and Successfully
combat the many and mighty dangers by 'which she
was threatened. He thankedActxt she had since oter-
come them all. When he referred to those eventful
times, he,could not help adverting to his own political
engagements, and to the unremitting anxiety• and ap-
plication which they had occasioned ham ; nor could he!
refrain from expressing his gratitude for having been
assisted to reach, at last, a hiven of peace and quiet-
ness; and after a long season of trouble and uneasiness,
to enjoy the calm pleasures of a peaceful repose—
(Hear). He could not allow the present opportunity
to escape him, without offeting a very few words in re-
lation to the signal success which had attended the great
cause which was advocated by this Society. When the
establishment of so admirable an institution was first
proposed in the City of London, its friends were told
that their cause was hopeless; and when they talked of
the benefits to be derived from translating the Bible into
:forty or fifty languages, they were assured that their
hopes were visionary, and their expectitions exagge-
rated and unreasonahle--(Hear). Happy he was, how-
ever, to find that since that day those hopes and expecta-
tions had been realised beyond the most sanguine anti-
cipations for the Meeting lead now the satisfaction of
knowing, that not 'in forty or fifty languages only, but
in 110 different tongues, the Bible had either been
already published, or was now preparing for publication,
through the exertions of the Parent and Auxiliary So-
cieties—(Hear). The number of Auxiliary Societies
established in aid of the principal'lnstitution had more
than doubled in the same period ; for there were at
piesent; in` this kingdom alone, no less than BQO Auxi-
liary Bible Societies., In various countries abroad there
existed two thousand Associations of the same sfescrip-

tion—( Hear, hcpr). The flame which had been so au-
spiciouslikindled here, seemed to have sin rad itself with
equal promptitude in foreign parts ; for at that former
period to which he had alluded, there existed only six
Foreign Bible Societies. The Meeting might now look
round them, and count, in different States, twenty-six
National Associations, in correspondence with our own,
and having six hundred Auxiliary Associations to sup-
port thern:—(Hear, hear). In Great Britain, almost
every district possessed an Auxiliary Society ; on the
Continent, though it could not be denied that much had
been done, there remained yet much to do. Amidst this
galaxy which shed so bright and healthful a radiance
over this kingdom, the City of London, as it was to be
desired, shone a resplendent luminary. Placed in the
situation which they occupied, as the Citizens of the
Capital of this great Empire, it well became the inha-
bitants of London to shew that commerce might be de-
voted to nobler purposes than the acquisition of wealth,
or even than the establishment of our national great-
ness, which_ has hitherto been the just and constant sub-
ject of our eulogy and attention. lf, therefore, they
wished their country to be powerful without ii.justice,
rich without luxury, great without wickedness, it be-
came them, by every means, to encourage and support
institutions like this of the Bible Society—(Heetr)—ln-
stitutions whose establishment would rank them among
the benefactors of mankind. The Noble Lord con-
cluded by moving the first Resolution.
Mr. FAVELL felt particular pleasure in seconding this
resolution. He remembered that at the first institution
of the Society he had had the hoaour of supporting a
similar proposition. The Noble Lord who preceded him
had well observed, that at this season of the year it was
matter of considerable congratulation to witness so nu me-
rous and highly respectable an assemblage ; and he (Mr.
Favell) most again congratulate the Ladies—the wives,
daughters, and female friends (as he might call them),
of this ey:cellent Association—on the encouraging pro.
spects which now rewarded their kind exertions in its
favour—(Hear, Tliey, who like himself, were its
public advocates, laboured, on these occasion!, under a
considerable disadvantage ; because, from the length of
time that this Institution had existed, they had, of ne-
cessity, very little new to say upon the subject. He
could only express a hope, therefore, that raOVIDENCE
would continue to smile upon their labour; and he did
trust, that he might appeal for the demonstration of its
favours to the success with which they had been hitherto
blessed. Wherever these Associations had been esta-
blished in the City or its vicinity, their good effects had
been sensibly felt; and it was found, tl4at among fe•
males, all who were the fi iends of the Institution, had
become better wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, friends,
than they had been before they were connected with it.
Before he sat down, he would observe that there was
one topic which seemed well worthy to attract the at-
tention of their Chairman ; and it was this—that the
establishment of the Auxiliary Society had proved
most beneficial, not only to the Parent Society, but
also to the Magistracy of the city of London, by
operating towards the rreiention of crime—(Applause).
—This sort of preventive service, effected by the di&
fusion of the Bible, was one of the highest utility ;
and much as all who heard him, in common with
their fellow-countrymen, must feel indebted to the hu-
mane exertions of those benevolent individuals who de-
voted their time, talent, and attention to the improve..
ment of prison disciplir.e, their thanks were due in a
yet greater degree to that institution which prevented
the commi,sion of crime—(Hour). From one the late
prison discipline reports, be observed that out of 119
female convicts whom the Ladies had visited in the pri-
son of Newgate, it appear ed, on examining them to that
fact, that only three or four had been either brought up
in the schools, or had in any way participated in the
advantages which had been furnished by Bible Associa.
tions—(Hear). This fact alone might manifest the vast
importance of supporting such societies, and the inti-
mate connexion which subsisted between their well-
being and the well-being of the Magistracy, by their
tendency to prevent crime. That they did so, any one
might be immediately satisfied, who would compare the
condition of a family, however poor, which was thus
placed in possession of a Bible, and a family which, like
too many in this great metropolis, was without the sa-
cred volume. In the one case, good order and good
morals—in the other, profligacy, vicious habits, and
consequent crime— marked the effects of possessing
the Scriptures, or chewed the miserable results of an
ignorance of them. The Honourable Gentleman con.
cluded by briefly contrasting the pleasing example
afforded by a Lord Mayor and Aldermen, and a She-
riff elect, who were friendly to an Institution founded
on the liberal principle of disseminating the Sacred Vo-
lume to all denominations of Christians, without dis-
tinction of sect, with that frightful picture of intole-

twice and bigotry which the neighbourhood of that Hall
presented only a century or two ago, when men of the
purest lives and most unquestionable piety were impri-
soned, insulted, and even executed, for their religious
opinions.. He hoped that ilitovinzxce would give to
the efforts of this Society " the wings of the morning"
wherewith to fly to the uttermost parts of the earth, to
promote peace and good-will towards men—(Hear).
This Resolution was carried unanimously.
The Rev. Mr. HALL, in proposing the second resolu-
tion, observed, that London possessed a claim to
pre-eminent distinction among the cities of the universe,
for its opulence, its vastness, its population; its public
walks, its munificence and spirit, its progress in arts
and sciences; but the same distinction, in former ages
of the world, had attached to Babylon, Nineveh, Car-
thage, and Tyre ; and these, and Rome herself (vainly
called the Eternal), had perished in their turn from the
excess of luxury and grandeur, .and were now utterly
extinct. Rome, indeed, still languished on, in a state
of enfeebled and miserable existence ; but she was the
mere wreck of her departed might and her ancient re-
nown. The successive fall of these magnificent capitals
was mainly attributable to their want of a great and
general moral principle, which might have stemmed
the torrent of popular corruption, and withstood the
influence of those inevitable evils which are entailed by
luxury and power ; but he did hope that London, from
the multitude of her benevolent institutions, and espe-
cially from that strong feeling of piety and religion on
which this institution was founded, was destined, im-
movable in that moral principle, to remain to the end of
all things, great, mighty, and respected, amidst the cities
of the world. The Rev. Gentleman then combated the
objections which had been urged against the society, and
concluded by moving the second resolution.
Mr. LAURIE (Sheriff elect) seconded the resolution.
Had he consulted his own feelings, he would have been
at the back instead of the front of the platform. The
Bible was a rock on which all might rest, and a foun-
Lain at which all might drink. The civic Palace iu
which they were met changed masters every year, yet
he trusted that each new one would be more zealot',
than the other in supporting•that Bible, the first trans-
lation of which was patronized by the City of London,
though it was in vain attempted to be destroyed by
burning all the copies that could be got, at kit. Paul's
Cross. He concluded by seconding the Resolution,
which was carried unanimously.
The LOUD MAYOR returned thanks for the honour
which had been paid him; and doubted nit that all
Chief Magistrates of the City would be happy to give
the same assistance and encouragement which he had
been able to give to this society.
Mr. Alderman BROWN also expressed his acknowledg-
ments for the compliment paid to himself and his col-
leagues, though he felt that as they had simply per-

EAST INDIA 110 USE.
-sr--

A Quarterly General Cow t of Proprietors of East
India Stock was yesterday held at the Company's House,
in l.eadenhall•street.

The minutes of the last Court having been read,
The CuLAIRMAN (W. WiGnAm, Esq.) proceeded tolay
before the Proprietors a variety of Papers which bad
been presented to Parliament, since the last General
Court. He also submitted to the Court sundry docu-
ments relative to Haleybury College.
Mr. HUME took the opportunity of inquiring whether
any Report had been drawn up by the last College Co-
mmittee? It would be satisfactory to know hove the Col-
lege had been conducted during the last half-year : whe-
ther it had been conducted quiet and peaceable, and
free from disturbance ?

The CHAIRMAN had the satisfaction to state to the
Court,that at the last visitation, which occurred in June
last, the situation of the College was in every respect
entitled to praise.
Mr. Hume wished to know whether any alteration had
.been made in the statute? They had been told by the
late Chairman (Mr. PA PTISCHI), that the recent disturb-
ances in the College were under consideration of the
College Committee, who would be prepared at an early
period to lay the result of their inquiry before the Court.
Under these circumstances he should be glad to learn
whether the Committee had come to any determination,
and what it was?

The CHAIRMAN answered, that the College Com-
mittee bad made a report on this subjecr. It was now
before the Court of Directors, but they had not thought
it necessary to alter any of the College Statutes.
Mr. Hyrax inquired whether there was any objection
to producing that report ?
The CHAIRMAN was sure the Hon. Proprietor would
not press for the production of a document on which
the Court of Directors had not founded any proceeding.
After a few words lion] Mr. It. JAcxson and the
CitAttistAn, the conversation dropped.
Mr. HUME asked how many Cadets, exclusive of those
in the College, had been sent out to India during the
last year ?

The CHAIRMAN answered, that 131 Cadets had been
appointed to India, and 35 appointed to the Military
Seminary—making a total of 166.
Mr. Home strongly impressed on the Court of Di-
rectors the necessity of adopting some means by which
every young man whom they sent out to India should
be completely instructed in the Oriental languages.
The CHAIRMAN was then about to put the question
of adjournment, when
Mr. Hume rose, and having referred .to what had
fallen from Mr. Pelly at a former General Court, rela-
tive to the case of Mr. John Hinde Pelly, entered into
a defence of the course he had pursued with respect to
the grant which had been proposed to the latter Gen-
tleman, and contended 'that every statement he had
made was borne out by documents. He expressed his
conviction, that if the Court of Proprietors had been' in
possession of the documents, which were now accessible
to them, more especially the Penalty Bond, when the
case was formerly before them, the question never would
have gone to a ballot, but would have been negati►ed.
After a few words from the CHAIRMAN and Mr.
GRANT, the Court adjourned.

A paragraph appeared in most of d! Morning
Papers, and has, we understand, produced tonsiderable'

sensation in the City, which states " that Consuls ha
actually been appointed to several of the South Ameri•
can States, on behalf of Great Britain."

We can assure the Public that nothing farther lin
yet been done in the matter, beyond what Mr,
PLANTA lately stated in his communi:ation to the
body of Merchants who applied to the Right Hon,
the Foreign Secretary, on the subject. The esta•
blishment of Consuls to several of the South American
States is still under consideration merely. None hare
yet been appointed, and when they are appointed,
which will probably be ere long, it will be for comber.
dal purposes solely.

We have given in another part of our Paper some •
further extracts from the Paris Journals of Monday,
which explain more particularly the recent operation
in Spain. It would seem as if something had iota-
vened to cause a postponement of the intended attack
on Cadiz beyond the period originally fixed for it.
Whether this delay has originated in a sense of the dif-
ficulties of carrying, by a coup de main, the strong works
of the Isla, or in a new hope that the negociations might
be resumed, with a better prospect of a successful issue,
we are unable to determine; though the sudden
order to the Marquis de TALartu, the French Mi-
nister at Madrid, to proceed to Head quarters, would
countenance the latter part of the proposition. It would
be difficult to discover any other motive for his journey,
but to assist at some diplomatic conferences ; unless it
was thought that his presence would be considered as
a mark of respect to the KING, when his Majesty-should
be set at liberty. The former opinion, however,
seems the more reasonable of the two ; and it re-
ceives further support from the circumstance, that his
departure had been delayed by the arrival of a courier
from Pall', who is said to have been the bearer of some
important communications. On the following day he
proceeded on his journey ; and it is possible that the
French Government, having taken into its consideration
the terms proposed by the Cortes, may have sent out
new instructions to the Duke d'Atiootmeats, containiag
a modification of its former demands.

In the meantime, the whole of fhe intelligence is
the French Papers agrees in representing the attack
upon the Isla as finally resolved upon; whilst ir de.
scribes the preparations as fully commensurate to the
object in view. The French troops, it is also said,
burned with impatience to be led to the attack; 14
bating a little of the ardour of the figure, it is probable
that their late success against the Trocadero may have
inspired them with the wish of engaging in a far more
difficult and perilous adventure. It would be rash to
speculate on the issue of such an attertipt, though east
enough to anticipate the effects of an unsuccessful Pia
A very serious miscarriage might even now tura d*
tables against the invaders.
