Lord Rocnenvssus in a short -speech, the greater
part of which was delivered in an inaudible tone, expa-
I4titted on the great benefits resulting to society in
41eneral from the labours of an institution founded for
the express pnrpose of diffusing the word of God.
They all knew from the best authority, what joy the
repentance of one sinner was calculated to excite, but it
was impossible to conceive the multitude of those who
might have been saved and convened through the in-
strumentality of their exertions. His Lordship con.:
chided with moving that the Report should be received
and adopted.
The Rev. JOHN ANGEL JAMES, of Birmingham, rose
and in an eloquent speech seconded the motion.
- The Resolutirm was then agreeed to unanimously.
Mr. Sheriff VENABLE& next presented himself.—
They were all aware of the efforts made in the present
sly to promote the education of the poor, and he was
pure they would agree with him in thinking that it
was necessary to give that education a religious and
moral tendency. It was true that the Bible Society
nintue in to give it that direction. He then moved a
Resolution of thanks to the President and Vice-Presi-
dents of the Society.—(Appl.tuse.)
The Rev. Dr. TitoarE seconded the Resolution.
a—To circulate the Holy Scriptures required a sacci-
Ace of time and money, which suggested the pro-
priety of inquiring whether it was necessary or not.—
Upwards of six hundred millions of people were still
destitute of these sacred lights; and the greater part
Of them were ignorant of the existence of such a book
as the Bible. If that was the case, the necessity was
abundantly made nut. With respect to home, they
bad this additional rut to shew that Bibles were
wanted—they had the fact that three millions of Bibles
had been already circulated, and that more were re-
quired. It had been stated, however, among other
objections, that there was no use in circulating the
book without *commentary to explain it. God had
done all he could in giving one boot:, but man said, we
must write another book to explain it. This, was, in-
deed, a singular instance of humility. It had also
been stated, that the Bible ought not to be circulated
without the Prayer Book, as if by so cluing they must
bring the Prayer Book into contempt. But they had
not brought it into contempt—they could not—on the
contrary, by circulating the Bible they had contri-
buted to circulate the Prayer Book, and it was a fact,
in fifteen years since the establishment of Bible Socie-
ties, there was an encrease in the circulation of the
Prayer Book, as compared with the fifteen years pre-
cedin.r, amounting to 150,000 copies. Another ob-
jection

,verthrek
here was

contrived

of the established Church, and Ministers of the Crown,
among whom was Lord Liverpool himself, who had
described the Bible Society as their best protection.
The Resolution was agreed to unanimously.
Sir C. S. HUNTER returned thanks on the part of the
President and Vice-Presidents.
Mr. Alderman Beciware came forward to move the
next Resolution.

The Rev. T. Moartassa, of St. Olave's Southwark,
rose to second the Resolution. 'Welt it necessary,
humble a member as lie was of the Church of Eng-
land, to shew that the meeting was not its enemy, but
one of its best friends If they looked at the state of
the world, they would see there was " distress of na-
tions with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring ;
men's hearts failing them for fear of the things that
were to come to pass." This was a great crisis, and
whoever looked at the state of Spain, Turkey. Russia,
and ether parts of Europe, must be struck with the
signs of the times; but in looking to the state of this
country, it was happily visible that the God of Gods
and King of Kings was putting honour upon it. and
every one must be struck with the great and useful in-
fluence w hick Great Britain maintained in the world.
Probably. siuce the time of the Apostles, there never
was so glorious a scene as that which was presented to
Christians sidle present day, and they should go on,-
doing all which they could towards calling human na-
ture oat of darkness into the light of Christ.
The Honourable and Reverend OSILARD NOEL wise
