MEETING AT THE BRISfOL GUILDHALL.
A numerous and most respectable Meeting of the
Inhabitants of the City of Bristol took place on Tester-
terday s4night, at the Guildhall, for the purpose
of forming a Charitable Institution to pelpetuate the
memory of the late distinguished Philanthropist RI-
GUARD REYNOLDS.
The Chair wat filled by the worthy Chief Magis-
trate,
Mr. HAYTHoRNR, Who, throughout the whole
proceedings, testified the most anxious zeal in pro.l
znotipg the object of the Meeting.
In moving and seconding the Resetlotions, .--,---
SMIIII, Esq. ; R. H. DAvrs, Esq. M.P. ; Rev. T. T.
BIDDULPH ; Rev. W. DAY ; Rev. W. Ttionr ; .1.
Bornotwoittu, Esq. M.P. ; H. Batour, Esq. ; the
Rev. Mr. COWAN; the Rev. M. 144%1.71110E; Dr. POLE;
and Dr. STOCK, severally addressed the Meeting.
The second Resolution having been read, the Rev.
W.TtionPz rise to second it, and addressed the Chair

in nearly the following words :
" Mr. Chairman, Sir—Never surely were the inha-
• bitants of Bristol convened upon a more solemn or a
more affecting occasion than the present—to mder
a gratefuf tribute of respect to one of the best ortnen,
and to perpetu. t..! the memory of a Philanthropist, of
simpler and manscendent excellence—Thousands can
testify that he was an ornament of our nature—an
honour to our City—the glory of the Society to which
be belonged—and a blessing to the Empire and the
World. When the eye saw him it blessed him—
when the ear heard him, it bare him witness—he was
eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame ; the cauw
which he knew not he searched out • he made the
widow's heart to sing for joy; and the blessing of
the outcast orphan, ready to perish, came upon him.
He is now gone to that country 66 from whose bourn
'no traveller returns;"—and while Bristol, with her
widows and her orphans, are weeping over his ashes.
the whole nation has reason to lament his departure,
That departure, however, was attended with Many
alleviating circumstances; which, aloough they may
deepen our sensibility, are calculated to assuage the
violence of our grief. We sorrow not for this righ-
teous man, as those that have no hope. We enter-
tain the faith of Christians, and cannot give place to
the despair of heathens., He hath rested from his
labours, and his works shall follow him—not to pro-
cure his title; but to justify his hope of the Tree of
Life, and of entrance within the Gates of the Heavenly
Jerusalem. We adore that kind and indulgent Pao.
vzosscs, which spared his Valuable life for so many
years, and thus p.rmitted him to mature those plans
which he had projected for the relief of misery, ages
after his decease. We congratulate our fellow-citt.
seas on the honour they have done 'to themselves,
by assembling on this day, to embalm his memory
with their tears—to catch with his falling mantle the
sacred flame that glowed with such fervour in his
bosom—and to do what within them lies to give im-
mortality to a name, so deal- and so venerable. That
we may be enabled with more facility to transcribe
his virtues and copy his example, let us review the
characters of that benevolence by which he 'was so
eminently distinguished.
" The benevolence of Richard Reynolds, Sir, was
of the highest order. It was liberal, diffaiive,
uni-
versal—NNot narrowed by party prejudice, nor bound-
ed by the limits of party connections, it embraced
the Family of Man—yea, the whole circle of living
beings, endowed with a capacity of pleasure or of
pain. In its contemplation of the vast, however, it
did not overlook the minute; in Its comprehension of
the whole, it did not, like the modern philosophy,
neglect the parts of which that whole is composed...
Its operations were regulated by the respective claims
nature, of gratitude, of friendships of consanguinity,
of religious connections, of moral worth, and of the
various degrees of wretchedness amongst the unhappy
objects upon whom his bounty was bestowed.
Proceeding, in the first instance, from compas-
sion, it was afterwards purified by religious- priuci•
ple—and strengthened by a sense of his awtul re-
sponsibility. to the great LORD of All for the talent
with which be was intrusted. Compassion, impro-
perly cultivated, degenerates into an useless sensibi-
lity. The pleasure that attends it, soothes and deceives
the heart. An inttiesting account,of human wretch-
edoess.excites its pleasorable.sympathetic emotions;
the owe utters the law of kindness ; the man club,'
in his virtuoitaescosibility, and thus becomes the

,
dope of selfelleceZeit.

offensive smells withinthivery sphere of infection-.
to' give time, and thought, and talent, and labour,.
and property—this is the substance, and not the slia•
dow of virtue; the, pleasure of sensibility may be
greater; but greater also is the dagger of self-deceit
Death-bed scenes, eloquently deeeribed, delight the
imagination ; but they who are most delighted, are
not always the first to visit a dying neighbour, and sit
up all night, and wile away the cold swear, and
moisten the parched lip, and remove the phlegm, and
contrive easy postures, and hear with fretfulness and
drop the pious thought, and console the departing
spirit ! Alt, no l These boasted children of senti=
mental benevolence may often repair to the teentle of
*virtue, but not to sacrifice. Extreme sensibility is a
mental disease ; it unfits ui for relieving the mise-
table, and tempts us to turn away, like the cold-
hearted Priest and Levite ; it avoids the sight, and
suppresses the thought of pain—stops the ears to the
cry of indigence, passes by the house of mourning,
and abandons the nearest friends, when sick, to the
cue of the nurse and the physician, and, when dead,
to those who mourn for hire Land all this under the
pretence of delicacy of feeling, and a tender heart 1
le Sea was not the benevolence of the Bristol Phi-
lanthropist. Those acts of bounty which flow from
the influence of sensibility soon fail; like the good
seed fallen on stony ground, they soon spring up,
and as soon sithet. But the benesolence of Richard
Reynolds, purified, strengthened, and animated by
Christian principle, was steady, uniform, and per*.
vering. Neither ingratitude, nor imposture, nor op•
position, nor even the frost of age, could chill its
ardours, or 'relax its exertions:
e It was active and industrious; his eloquence
was mitt that of words, but of deeds. He said little,
but be did much. He left others to define benevo-
lence; he studied the practice of it. While the sickly
child of sensibility was weeping, be was extending
relief. While philosophers were disputing whether
philanthropy arises from selfishness or instinctive ten-
derness, or modes of education, -or the fotce of early
and local associations, or from the combined influence
of all those ses—heedless of their contentions, he
eias exempllfrng in real life, privately and before
the world, the character of the true philanthropist.—
Their speculations he reduced to action ; their ab-
stract notions ht embodied; and to their airy no-
things he gave net only a local habitation, but a
reality, a substance, and a form. Like his beloved
I Mesezn, whose spirit he had imbibed, and whose
'example he closely copied, be wen* about continually
doing good.
" His beneficence was gitided by wisdom and-dis-
cretion. It was not scattered promiscuously and at
random, but bestowed upon such objects, and in such
a way, es he deemed (and he was a most excellent
judge) the most effective in promoting the individual
and the general good. To furnish employment for
the healthy and the strong—to supply the wants of
the really indigent and necessitous—to ease the
aching heart-of the father, who, after toiling the live.
long day, finds, instead of rest at home, that he is
called to hear, what he is least able to bear, the cries
of a numerous family demanding 'breed, when he
has none to give ; to assuage the sorrows of poverty,
overtaken by sickness, or overwhelmed with misfor-
tune; to smooth the furrowed cheek, and make the
winter of age wear the aspect of spring ; to act the
part of a father to helpless orphans, on whom no
parent of their own ever smiled ; to supply fhe want
of sight to die blind, feet to the lame, and speech to
the dumb; to rescue vice from guilt. and infamy,
and ruin ; and during the season of reformation,
afford a shelter from the fury of the sehrin ; to relieve
the distress. and yet spare the blushes of those who
have known better days, by administering that
bounty, which they, in the time of their prosperity,
were ready to administer to others—dise were the
employments of Richard Reynolds--these the objects
of his beneficence—these were the offices of mercy in
which he delighted !
e 4 His heart told him what to do; his conalnce,
as the Vicegerent of HZAVISN, reminded him of the
claims of moral obligation, and insisted that it must
he done. His head deVised the means, and arrang-
ed the plan of action; and his hands, obedient to the
dictates of hi* heart, and the mandates. of conscience,
were ever ready to execute the plans which his head
had formed. Thos his whole existence was conse-
crated to the cause of benevolence
" If we love the modesty which concealed the
hand that bestowed the princely donation, we revere
the courage which occasionally stepped forward to
avow himself the donor, when his design was to
stimulate others to follow his example. His whole
conduct was marked by the most consummate.
wisdom • and left us at a loss whether to admits
most the benevolence of his heart, or the powers
of his understanding—the deeds of mercy which
he performed, or the manner in which be perform.
ed them.
le All this prudence and benevolence was adorned
with moiesty and humanity. So far was he from
being inflated with the pride of wealth, that he spoke
the genuine sentiments of his heart, when he said to
'a friend who applied to him with a case of distress,
My talent is the meanest of all talents—a little sor-
did dust ; but the man in the parable, who had bnt
one talent; was accountable; and for the talent that
I pOssess, humble as it is, I am also accountable to
.the great hoed OF ALL.' Hjs bounty was not the
result of fear, like the obedience of a slave who trem-
bles under the scourge of a haughty tyrant. 'lt was
not excited by the prospect of remuneration, not
extorted by the dread of punishment, nor performed
with a view to inn* an inheritance in the kingdom
of Heaven. All such sentiments he rejected with
abhorrence—placed his whole dependence for eternal
life upon the sciveeeign mercy of Gon, through the
propitiating sacrifice of his REDO/ a; and it the
gates of Heaven had been closed: and the flames of
Hell extinguished, he would have loved mercy, and
delighted hi acts of charity i He laid claim to no

body was the temple of the Max GHOST ; built in-
deed with a lowly roof, but attended with Cherubim
and Seraphim. Tnere an altar was erected to the
living GOD, whence the flame of devotion, and the
incense of praise, ascended day and night. In that
Temple, as in the Jewish Sanctuary, the Shekinah,
the visible symbol of a prtsent Dore, was enshrined
above.the mercy seat, and occasionally shone forth,
and shed a glory all around. In his measure he was
tilled with the fulness of Gee.
66 No wonder if benevolence like his was a source
of happiness to himself, as well as of relief to others.
It was a spring shut up—a fountain sealed—a gar.
den enclosed, which the eagle's eye never saw, and
the foot of the unclean beast never trod. Enamoured
with the c'tarms of virtue, he delighted to behold
her native beauties, and to obey her sweet commands.
He practised benevolence, for the sake of the plea.
sure with which the practice of it was attended. He
felt a luiury in doing good, and he determined to
enjoy that luxury. ' His own experience taught him,
that the GOD of Mercy, who formed the heart of
man to be the dispenser of his bounty, has ordained,
that like the vital fluid, which goes from the heart,
to diffuse lite and genial warmtlethrough the whole
system, it should return, in the course of circulation
not impoverished, but enriched, to the source whence
it flawed. His goodness might sometimes be re-
quited with evil, but this moved bins not. He knew
that no. deed of Mercy could be waned; that some
ministering angel is stationed in every department of
the moral world, to gather up the fragments that fall
from the table of benevolence, that nothing may be
lost. Actuated by these noble principles, he held on
Atie glorious career, still scattering blessings around
him; until he resigned his meek and gentle spirit into
the hands of his Ramtemeat ; to enjoy the fulness of
his love, and to behold the brightness of his glory,
in the regions of eternal day. By relieving the mi-
serable, he made himself friends of the mammon of
unrighteousness, many of whom had gone before
him, and have now hailed him as their benefactor,
on his arrival into everlasting habitations.
" Now, Sir, let u• turn aside, and visit the sacred
place where his-remains are deposited until the hea.
'vens are no more. Low lies the hoary head that. was
crowned with glory ! Dim, and no more with ar-
dour bright, are those eyes which once beamed with
kindness and with love I Cold and silent as the clod
of the valley is that heart, that glowed and beat
with the purest affection ! Torpid and benumbed
are those feet that carried him to the hovel of anguish
and and those hands which su often hushed
the orphan's cries, and wiped away the widow's
tear ! Ia ruins and desolation lies that temple where
Goo took up his dwelling, and shed :abroad the effu-
signs of his love ! But shall this edifice always lie
in ruins ? No ! the Hoei Seiner will rebuild the
sanctuary which he once honoured with hi.; presence,
in a more glorious form—as the tabernacle in the
wilderness WAS taken down, to be erected on a more
magnificent scale on the Mount of' Zion. Dot this I
say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of Heaven, neither can corruption inherit
incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery ! We
shall not all sleep, but we si;all all be changed in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump. For the trumpet shall sound. and the dead
shall be raised. Corruption shall put on incorruption,
'and mortality shall puts on immortality. Thus, in.
corruptible and immortal, formed and fashioned after
the model of the glorious body of his REDEEMER,
Shall Reynolds rise from the dust, and, before AMlD-
bled worlds, be placed at the right hand of the Soya.
REIGN JIDOR. Then, be that sicced' upon the Thtone,
in his own Glory, and in the Glory of his Father, ,
with all the angels of GOD around him, will say to
the man whom he loved, g Come, theu blessed of my
father, and inherit the kingdom prepared for thee
frinn before the foundations of the world. For I

thirsty, and thou gayest me drink—l was naked, and
thou clothedst me—l sets a stranger, and thou I
tookedst me in—l was sick, and in prison, and thou
visitedst me.' Still adorned with that modesty for
which he was so conspicuous, in the vale of sort owe,
he replies, 6 Oh, my LORD, when saw I thee hung[)
and thirsty, and naked. and a stranger, and sick, Red
in prison, and ministered unto thee ?' Then shall
the Kew say, ' For as much as thou bast done ;t
unto the least of these my brethren, thou halt done
it unto me ; enter thou into the joy of thy Lout) I' "
This admirable display of eloquence was fre
quently interrupted by bursu of applause.
The fourth Resolution was moved by Mr. SMITH,
and seconded by Mr. BUTTER HOU Ell% M. 1% who spoke
to this effect :
's In rising to second this motion, I ought, as a
stranger and accidental visitor in this city, to apolo-
gize for presenting myself te your notice, Sir, and to
this very respectable assembly; but the task having
been assigned me, 1 could not teluse offering my

eloquence which has been copied forth by my Rev.
Friend (Mr. Thorpe), eloquence which was the more
powerful and touching, because. it was the language

was a citizen'of the world; his benevolente extended
far and wide. Na doubt many persons in this large
assembly could bear ample testimony to this, and
relate abundance of interesting prove' of it, if the
time would allow. A • ticular instance having per
