LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of the friends and subscribers of
the Liverpool Auxiliary to the British and Foreign Bible
Society, and of the Ladies' Branch Society, was held last
evening at the Collegiate Institution, when the large hall
was well filled by a highly respectable assembly of both
sexes. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester
occupied the chair, and among the clergymen and
gentlemen on the platform we observed the Revs. John
Jones, Wm. Falloon, Wm. Rawson, J. B. Lowe. F.
Parry, H. Hampton, VT. W. Evrbank, T. Dover, Hul-
bert, S. Minton, Duck, D. Anderson, W. W. Wright,
C. W. Lawrence, Lister, Butler, Marian,
Moss, Dr. Raffles, Newstead, H. S. Brown,
A. F. West, Spence, W. Graham, and R. Kirkus,
and Messrs. Chas. Inman, Adam Hodgson, T. B. Hors.
fall, Thomas Crook, R. Houghton, Edward Cropper,
John Cropper, W. J. Tomlinson, Thomas Carson, T.
D. Anderson. Collett, J. H. Macrae, W. H. Moore,
Howell, Filcher, W. Cook, James Crosfield, John
Eden, Wm. Maples, R. A. Payne, D. Godfrey, Samuel
Job, Leather, E. Jones, J. R. Jeffery, F. Neill, &c. &c.
The proceedings having been opened with prayer,

The Lord BISHOP of CHESTER said it gave him pleasure
to meet them on7e again on one of those occasions, which,
like the present, periodically called them together, to
take sweet counsel with one another, in fulfilling their
duties as Christians; and be felt peculiar gratification in
being amongst them this time, feeling such an interest as
he did in the welfare of the British and Foreign Bible
Society, a feeling which he was sure would be parti-
cipated in by all those present. (Hear, hear.) He
would not detain them long by any prefatory remarks,
and he hoped that the speeches would be shortened as
much as would be consistently possible, in order that
they might not intrude the proceedings to so late an
hour in the evening as usual. He believed that the
present was a most critical period for the people of
the earth, particularly for the inhabitants of the Conti-
nent of Europe. He would instance a singular confir-

on of his remark. Doubtless many before him had
read that remarkable document sent as a message
from the French President to the Chamber of the National
Assembly in that country, and which referred particularly
to the spirit of war abroad among the nations of Europe.
What a contrast was presented by the disturbed state of
foreign countries to the peaceful condition of our own
happy land ; and what a different position was that
of foreigh potentates compared with the security felt by
our own most gracious sovereign in her late visit amongst
us, surrounded by her beloved people, guarding her,
under the blessing of God, from all evil ( hear, hear).
But God had placed in our hands the true weapon
for contending against this most unholy spirit, the
true weapon for spreading the knowledge of the truth,
as it was in Jesus, and that weapon was the Bible (hear),
and the object of the society was to manufacture that
weapon, and drill soldiers—soldiers of the Cross, not of
the sword—in the use of it [ hear, hear). He was glad to
heir that there was a plan being organised in this town for
providing a greater number of Scripture readers than there
had been hitherto, and he hoped it would be carried out
in the true spirit of Protestant love and faith, and that
thereby a knowledge of the saving doctrines of the Gospel

would be carried to the hearts of all those who were now
in ignorance of the means of salvation. (Hear.) In con-
clusion he would call upon the secretary to read the report.
The report stated that the progress of the society during
year bad been varied. Like the cloud which
stood between the people of Israel and the hosts

lie pas

of Pharaoh on the margin of the Red Sea, it had
its bright and also its dark side. The report went
on to say, that among the many wonderful objects
of the Great Exhibition in the Crystal Palace, none

were more pleasing and instructive to the contemplative
mind of the Christ!an than the sight of the bible printed
in almost every known tongue in the world. It was there
to be seen printed in 121 more languages than it had ever
been before, and the British and Foreigh Bible Society con-

tributed in a great measure to the accomplishment'of this
great work. It appeared from the report that the total
income of the society for the past year was £103,000,
being an increase of £ll,OOO over that of last year; the
number of copies of the Holy Scriptures was upwards of
1,000,000, being an increase over last year of nine
hundred copies ; and the total numbe

the formation of the society, in 1804, was upwards of
24,000,000 ; the number of meetings held on behalf of
the society, in England and Wales, was one thousand D.
hundred and ninety-four, being an increase over last yeas
of 161, and 137 more than had been held in any '
year. The report regretted the loss of -
supporters of the holy cause, and enumerated among
those connected with our local institution the names of

lued friends and
