• RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETE

Thursday morning, at six o'clock, the Friends of
this benevolent Institution met at the City of London
Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street, JOSEPH Ravxvt, Esq
in the Chair. Several rooms on the first floor were
appropriated for breakfast, and at seven the Chair
was taken in the large Hall, but from the immense
numbers present, many were obliged to retire for
want of room. The Report was then read, and stated
the number of Tracts issued last year to have exceed-
ed three millions and a half, that gratuitous supplies
had been made to the Army and Navy, the Collieri
on the Thames, the crews of the four ships going on
the Arctic Expedition, the Convict-ships and Prison,
&c. In New South Wales above 3000 had been
gladly received, and a valuable accession of strength
to the Society had taken place in Russia, Sweden,
Denmark, Iceland, Malacca, China, &c. At Berlin,
and twenty other places in Prussia, Societies of the
same nature were also formed, and it was expected
that translations would be made in the Polish and
Wendish languages. Their funds were rapidly in-
creasing, and this year amounted to 61321. Os. 10d.
but they were under engagements for various grants
to promote the printing of Tracts, in different parts
of the world, 300/. and for printing paper 270/. mak-
ing in the whole 5701. The Meeting were then ad-
dressed in several interesting speeches by R. Man-
TEN, Esq. the Rev. Dr. HENDERSON from Russia,
Rev. Messrs. RICHMOND, WARREN, WARDLAW (of
Glasgow), SAUNDERS (Rector of St. Anne's,. Black-
friars), Buaorat, PHILIP (of Aberdeen), IlLurr, and
Waxy (of Sudbury), &c. The speeches detailed
some very important facts relative to the success of
the Society, and a variety also of interesting anec-
dotes. One of the Russian Princesses has for some
time been busily employed in translating sevcial of
the Society's Tracts into the Russian language, and
under her patronage and that of the Emperor ALEX-
ANDER, above 200,000 have been distributed in
Russia, exclusive of many thousands sent there by
this and other Societies. The Emperor had been so
highly gratified with reading the tract of " The
Dairyman's Daughter," that he sent very valuable
ring to the Rev. LEIGH RICHMOND, author of that
and other excellent tracts; and, in a letter to Mr.
RICHMOND, expressed his earnest wish for the success
of the Society. There were Societies now formed in
every part of Russia, Siberia, among the Calmuc
Tartars, and even under the wall of China. This
was a strong encouragement for the parent Institution
to proceed in its labours of love.—At ten the Meeting
separated, highly gratified with the proceedings of
the morning, and a liberal collection was received at
the doors of the Hall. It was a matter of the deepest
regret that there was no place sufficiently large to
accommodate these Anniversary Meetings ; but mea- ,
sures have been adopted to erect a building by sub-
scription, for the better convenience of the Public. '

Amongst the early luxuries of Covent-Garden
Market on Saturday last, were ripe cherries in pound
punts, at two guineas thepunet, had green pease at
three guineas the half-sieve!
