Wesleyan Missionary Society.-The an- be impossible for us in this limited epitome niversary of this society, which took place on to give even an outline of the eloquence disMonday, May 3d, in the New Chapel, City-played, or of the effects produced on this

road, was most numerously attended, every

Among the speakers were the Right Hon.
Sir George Rose, Dr. Steinkopff, Rev.
Richard Watson, Dr. Waugh, Dr. Milner,
G. Bennet, Esq. Rev. Robt. Newton, Rev.
Theophilus Lessey, &c. Several of the
speeches were both animated and argu-
mentative, others were eloquent and impres-
sive, and all were interesting. The report
stated that the number of missionaries con-
stantly employed is 210, that 20,000 children
are regularly instructed in their missionary
schools, and that the number of persons
in society, or church-fellowship, is nearly
40,000.-The amount of the contributions

may be added £6,500, a legacy from the
late Miss Houston.

Church Missionary Society.-This anniversary took place on Tuesday, May 4th, at Freemason's Hall, which was much thronged before the chair was taken by Lord Gambier. The company was highly respectable, and the speakers were numerous, and men of superior talent. Among these we noticed the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, Rev. G. Hodson, Bishop of Winchester, Dr. Milner from America, Bishop of Chester, Thomas Fowell Buxton, Esq. M. P. Rev. J. Hartley, Sir George Grey, Bart. Rev. W. Smyley, and the Rev. Baptist Noel. The report stated, that during the year, the income amounted to £47,328, and the expenditure to £48,120, thus leaving against the society a balance of £791.

Christian Instruction Society.-On the same day, Tuesday the 4th of May, the fifth anniversary of this society was held at Finsbury Chapel, J. Labouchere, Esq. in the chair. The report was deeply interesting, and recorded various anecdotes, many of which created some very affecting emotions. It appears that 26,000 families had been visited by the agents of this institution, that many adults had been induced to attend places of public worship, that about 2000 children had been added to the Sunday schools by their means; but that many tricts yet remained unexplored.

interesting occasion. It appears that a debt of £300 is due to the treasurer, and efforts to liquidate it were made on the spot, which partially proved successful.

Sunday School Society.-The anniversary of this society was held on the evening of Tuesday the 4th, at the London Coffee House, Ludgate Hill. The chair was taken by the Marquis of Cholmondeley, and the meeting was numerously and respectably attended. The report stated, that during the year, 389 new schools had been estab lished, which contain 37,197 scholars. Bibles, testaments, and school-books had also been distributed to a large amount, and the benefit resulting from their various efforts were obvious in the improved condition of the children. The Rev. John Wilcox, Rev. John Pyer of Manchester. Rev. Thos. Hargan, Rev. James Jeurigh of Wales, Rev. C. Day, Rev. T. Lewis, and the Rev. Charles Owen, addressed the assembly.

Several other anniversaries of minor character, but of kindred importance, were held as opportunity offered, some of which claim no small degree of public notice; but our attention is called to such as are more generally known, and have been longer established.

British and Foreign Bible Society.— The anniversary of this noble institution was held in Freemason's Hall, on Wednesday, May 5th, but through the indisposition of Lord Teignmouth, the Right Hon. Lord Bexley took the chair. The report as usual was long; but the variety it contained rendered it exceedingly interesting. The principal speakers were, the Bishop of Winchester, Lord Calthorpe, Bishop of Chester, Wm. Wilberforce, Esq. Dr. Milner, Rt. Hon.Chas. Grant, M. P. Rev. Rowland Hill, Rev. Daniel Wilson, Hon. C. J. Shore, Rev. Mr. Dixon, Dean of Salisbury, Mr. Worth Newenham, and the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. The income during the year amounted to £84,982, and the disbursements to £81,610. Of the sacred writings 434,422 copies had been distributed, and 111 new branch societies had been formed.

Society for promoting Ecclesiastical Knowledge. This society held its first andis-niversary at the London Coffee House, Ludgate Hill, the large room of which was filled with a most respectable audience. Apsley Pellat, Esq. was called to the chair.

The principal speakers were Dr. Winter, Rev. T. Binney, Rev. A. Tidman, Rev. H. F. Burder, Rev. J. P. Dobson, Rev. John Clayton, Thomas Wilson, Esq. Rev. H. Townley, and the Rev. Dr. Bennet. It will

hristianity. Although in an infant state, it is awakened a considerable degree of public tention, and the present anniversary can irdly fail to extend its fame and to proote its utility.

The report clearly delineated the objects id intentions of the society, and the beeches which were delivered excited a onsiderable degree of interest.

Among the speakers were, Rev. James latheson of Durham, Professor Hoppus of e London University, Rev. J. Morison, Lev. J. Campbell, Rev. Dr. Cox, Rev. Dr. Pye Smith, Rev. Mr. Stowell of North hields, Rice Harris, Esq. of Birmingham, lev. Dr. Bennet, Rev. Mr. Moase, and the lev. J. Cobbin.

Sunday School Union.-The annual meetng of this society was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on the norning of Tuesday, May 11th. At six 'clock a numerous and highly respectable company sat down to breakfast, and from hence repaired to the large room, which was soon crowded to excess. The chair was

sailors. For this end Bethel meetings are established on the river, and the floating chapel has regular service every Sabbath; a day-school has been opened at Wapping; libraries supply books for lending; a magazine is circulated among the watermen; and an asylum has been provided to receive their orphans. At this anniversary it was a gratifying spectacle to behold these orphans ranged in front of the platform. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. R. Stowel, Rev R. Dobson, Mr. R. H. Marten, Rev. Dr. Milner, Captain Gambier, R. N. Rev. C. M'Ilvane, Rev. J. Campbell, Rev. Dr. Styles, and others; but of their speeches we cannot enter into any detail.

Prayer Book and Homily Society.— The eighteenth anniversary of this society was held on Thursday, May 6th, at Freemason's Hall, Lincoln's Inn Fields, Lord Bexley in the chair. The title of this society assumes an episcopalian aspect, but it breathes a liberal spirit, and has been rengly useful. Its design is to

Speeches were delivered by the Rev. Mr. Pritchett, Lord Calthorpe, Archdeacon Hoare, Rev. Edwin Sidney, Capt. G. Gambier, R. N. Rev. Mr. Newman, Rev. D. Wilson, Rev. Dr. Milner, the Dean of Salisbury, Hon. and Rev. T. Noel, Bishop of Winchester, Lord Mountsandford, and Sir S. Hunter.

Under the sanction of this Union, missionaries have been sent into different parts, through whose assiduity fifty new schools have been opened, and about six thousand children collected in various parts during the two preceding years. The report traced the progress of this mission with much pleasing regularity, naming the towns and villages which had been benefited by its influence.

The meeting was addressed by the Rev. J. Blackburn, Rev. J. Pyer, Rev. Dr. Milner, Rev. D. P. Smith, Mr. J. R. Wilson, Rev. C. M'Ilvane, Rev. Dr. Bennet, Rev. John Brown from Ireland, Rev. T. Griffin, Rev. S. Wilson, Rev. Mr. Farrar, and the Rev. Mr. Hewlett. To increase the funds of the society, an extra-exertion was made on the spot, and £50 were subscribed. The meeting continued until about eleven o'clock, and though many must have been greatly fatigued with the long confinement, all appeared highly delighted with its proceedings. It may be justly questioned if a more interesting anniversary than this has taken place in the metropolis during the present year.

British and Foreign School Society.The anniversary of this long established institution was held at Freemason's Hall, on Monday, May 10th, when Lord Bexley, through the absence of Lord John Russel, was called to the chair. The report detailed the progress and state of the society, and furnished many instances of the benefits which had resulted from its operations in various parts of the world. This was an anniversary of considerable interest. The principal speakers were Daniel Sykes, Esq. M.P. Rev. Rowland Hill, Hon. and Rev. Gerard Noel, Rev. William Hamet from America, Rev. James Sherman, G. Bennet, Esq. Thos. King, Esq. Rev. S. Wilson, Mr. F. Fellenburg of Switzerland, Rev. J. Brown of Ireland, J. Labouchere, Esq. and the Rev. J. Sampson.

and navy in various parts of the world. The debt also, which at the commencement of the year amounted to £704, was reduced to £57.8s. 1d. In the mean while the number of subscribers had increased, the contributions had been liberal, and in nearly all its branches the affairs of the society presented a pleasing aspect. Among the speakers were Lord Bexley, Sir John Franklin, R. N. Capt. Colin Campbell, R. N. Col. Broughton, Rev. Edward Ward, Captain Vernon, R. N. Mr. Walker a lieutenant in the army, Rev. Mr. M'Ilvane, Hon. Capt. Noel, R. N. Rev. E. Sidney, Lieut. Rhind. Capt. G. Gambier, R. N. Capt. Elliot, R. N. Hon. and Rev. B. Noel, and the Rev. J. Halden Stewart. The anniversaries of this society, which has now subsisted about fifty years, has generally been interesting, but in few instances more so than on the present occasion.

Newfoundland and British North America School Society.-This anniversary was held at the London Coffee House, Ludgate Hill, on Wednesday, May 12th, Lord Bexley in the chair. The operations of this society being confined to given districts, the interest it excites bears a correspondent character. The report stated, that the accounts from the schools which had been established, were favourable, and that a balance of £139 remained in the treasurer's hands. Joseph Wilson, Esq. Rev. Edwin Sidney, J. Labouchere, Esq. Rev. Henry Budd, Lord Mountsanford, Rev. Thos. Harding, Rev. Thos. Sims, and Thos. Lewis, Esq. severally addressed the meeting.

Hankey, Esq. in the chair. The report stated, that through the exertions of this society the light of the gospel had been carried into various portions of the globe, that many had received the momentous truths of revelation, and that their prospects were pleasing both at home and abroad. The expenditure during the year amounted to £36,000, and the contributions to £39,678, for general purposes, and for particular ones to £6,641, making a total income of £48,000. The principal speakers were, Rev. Jno. A. James, Rev. John Hatchard, Rev. G. Munday, Col. Phipps, Rev. Dr. Bennett, Rev. Dr. Milner, George Bennet, Esq. Rev. Algernon Wells, Rev. Rowland Hill, and Thos. King, Esq. The subscriptions in the chapel amounted to £285.

Religious Tract Society.-This anniversary, like that of the Sunday School Union, took place in the morning, at the City of London Tavern. It commenced at six o'clock, on Friday, May 14th, the Hon. T. Erskine in the chair. The report stated many pleasing facts, which demonstrated the benefits resulting from the distribution of tracts. Some of these were remarkably striking, and awakened a considerable degree of interest. On each side of the Atlantic this powerful engine is in extensive operation, and the numbers circulated exceed common calculation. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. Dr. Smith, Rev. Dr. Milner, Rev. D. Stewart, Rev. John Boddington, Rev. John Dyer, Rev. D. Wilson of Malta, and the Rev. H. D. Stowell, who kept alive the attention of the listening audience with scarcely any intermission.

Continental Society.-The annual meeting of this society was held on Thursday, May 13th, at Freemason's Hall, the Hon. J. J. Strutt in the chair. The professed design of this society is, to propagate pure and undefiled religion, and to direct the attention of the people to the signs of the times. These intentions are effected by means of books and agents. The Right Hon. Lord Mountsandford, Rev. Mr. Mayers, William Cuninghame, Esq. Rev. Henry Pyt, Henry Drummond, Esq. Rev. Joseph Irons, Lord Mandeville, and the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, were the principal speakers.

Irish Evangelical Society. At this anniversary, held on Tuesday, May 11th, at the Finsbury Chapel, Finsbury-square, Thomas Walker, Esq. presided. The report stated, that the receipts of the year were £3134, and the disbursements £3103, leaving a small balance in the hands of the treasurer. Some alterations had taken place in the arrangements of the society. In Ireland the number of agents had increased from 24 to 51, and their exertions had been attended with general success. In Dublin their labours had been largely rewarded; in Connaught they had five missionaries and fifteen readers, and in the other provinces a force corresponding to their work. The British Reformation Society-This anprincipal speakers were the Rev. J. Black-niversary was held at Freemason's Hall, on burn, Rev. David Stewart, Rev. John Angel James, and the Rev. Wm. Irwin. Inde pendently of the common collection made on such occasions, some voluntary contributions greatly increased the amount.

London Missionary Society.-This anniversary was held in the Wesleyan chapel, City-road, on Thursday, May 13th, W. A.

Friday, May 14th, Lord Viscount Mandeville in the chair. The great object of this society is, to watch over, revive, and enforce the doctrines and principles recognized at the Reformation.

DEATH OF WM. LAURENCE BROWN, D. D. His learned and truly excellent gentleman, who was professor of Divinity, and prinipal of Marischal college, and one of the ninisters of the West church, Dean of the Royal chapel, and chancellor of the most ncient Order of the Thistle, died at Aberleen, May 11th, 1830, in the 76th year of is age. Dr. Brown was a native of Jtrecht, where he became minister of the English church, and acquired distinction and honours, by his publications alents. Driven from his native city by the French, he came to Scotland, where he remained honoured, useful, and respected, until death terminated his mortal career. From several works, his name has obtained publicity and increased reputation, but from no one more so, than his " Essay on the Existence of a Supreme Creator," for which was awarded to him the Burnett Prize of £1250. His remains were interred in the church-yard of St. Nicholas. funeral procession was attended with signal honours, the shops in the streets through which it passed being voluntarily closed, as a tribute of respect to his memory.

British Slavery-On Monday the 30th of Novr., 1899, four men, labourers, were sold by auction, at the Nag's Head and Plough, at Stapleford. The sale commenced by sticking a pin in the candle, when the highest bidder before the pin fell out, claimed the man as his rightful property for one month at the price he had bid. One strong hard-working man, with a family of small children, was sold for 4s. 6d. per week; another, with a wife and large family, for s.; another for 3s., and a fourth for 2s. 9d.; and it is understood that the sale is to be repeated every month.-Nottingham Review.

Potato on the Mountain Orizaba.-M. M. Shiede and Deppe, in a letter to Baron A. Humboldt, giving an account of their ascent to the great volcano of Orizaba in Mexico, mention, that they found the potato in a wild state, at a height of 10,000 feet above the level of the sea. It was about three and a half inches high, with large blue flowers, and tubers the size of a hazel nut.

Action of the Upas Poison.-The common train of symptoms is, a trembling of the extremities, restlessness, erection of the hair, affection of the bowels, drooping and faintness, slight spasms and convulsions, hasty breathing, an increased flow of saliva, spasmodic contractions of the pectoral and abdominal muscles, retching, great agony, laborious breathing, violent and repeated convulsions, death. The action of the Upas poison is directed chiefly to the vascular system. The volume of the blood is accumulated in a preternatural degree in the large vessels of the thorax. The circulation appears to be extracted from the extremities, and thrown upon the viscera near its source. The lungs, in particular, are stimulated to excessive exertions. The vital viscera are oppressed by an intolerable load, which produces the symp toms above described, while in the extremities a proportionate degree of torpor takes place, accompanied by tremors, shiverings, and convulsions. The natives of Macassar, Borneo, aud the Eastern Islands, when they employ this poison, make use of an arrow of bamboo, (to the end of which they attach a shark's tooth) which they throw from a blow pipe or sompit. The Upas appears to affect different quadrupeds with nearly equal force, proportionate in some degree to their size and disposition.-Memoirs of Sir T. S. Raffles, by his Widow.

Fire-Dresses of the New Police.-On Wednesday, March 17, 1830, Colonel Rowan and Mr. Mayne, the commissioners of the new police, were in attendance at an early hour, together with several superintendents and inspectors, at the office in Scotland-yard, to inspect several fire-dresses for the use of the new police in cases of fire, should they be considered available in saving the lives of the inhabitants of houses on fire. The inventor of these fire-proof dresses is the Chevalier Aldini. A large fire was made, and several of the constables put on the dresses. The outer dress is a kind of wire gauze, under which is another dress, also fire-proof, of a different material, and of a more pliable nature. The constables held their heads in the fire for above ten minutes without feeling the least heat; and also held a red-hot poker in their hands till it was quite cooled, without sustaining the least injury. After several experiments of a similar nature, the commissioners expressed their approbation of the invention, and intimated their intention of trying the efficacy of the fire-dresses in a few days on a more extended scale, as soon as the necessary arrangements conld be made for the purpose. From what we could learn, it is the decided opinion, that the fire dresses will be approved of by the commissioners, and, if that should be the case, it is intended to have a sufficient number of dresses at the different police stations, to be in constant readiness for the use of the police-constables in case of fire.

Luther's Bible.-In the course of the five-and-forty years after the first publication of Luther's translation of the Bible, it went through one hundred and one entire editions! One alone (Canstein) disposed of 1,670,333 copies between the years 1715 and 1795.

Natural Eloquence.-"Who is it," said the jealous Ruler of the desert, encroached on by the restless foot of English adventure" Who is it that causes this river to rise in the high mountains, and to empty itself into the ocean? Who is it that causes the loud winds of winter, and that calms them again in the summer Who is it that rears up the shade of those lofty forests, and blasts them with the quick lightThe same Being who gave to ning, at his pleasure? you a country on the "other side of the waters, gave ours to us; and by this title we will defend it," said the Warrior, throwing down his tomahawk upon the ground, and raising the war-sound of his nation.-From the Notes to a Speech delivered by Wr. Steele at Limerick.

Gleanings--Literary Notices.

To Keep Cabbages fresh.-When the cabbages are cut, leave about two or three inches of the stalk, the pith of which is to be hollowed out, taking care not to cut or bruise the rind; tie the cabbages up by their stalks, and then fill the hollow with water. By repeating this daily, they may be kept for several months.

Observance of the Sabbath in Demerara.-At all hours of this sacred day are the ears stunned, and the feelings hurt, by the sound of the anvil, the deafening noise of a thousand coopers and carpenters, plying their various tools. Cooperages, when in the heart of the town, are a grievous nuisance in any case; but, on the Sabbath, there is something about them so utterly revolting, that their noise has often sounded in our ears like the waspish buzz of libellous men, setting at defiance the dread Majesty of heaven and earth.-Guiana Chronicle.

Arctic Expedition.-The English expedition to the Arctic Pole (says the Moniteur) has safely reached the 67th degree of north latitude. The steam-boat has traversed the most dangerous seas of the globe. But, wishing to touch at the coast of Spitzbergen, she was overtaken by a violent gale of wind, which carried away her maintop mast. An English vessel happening to get among the ice, and being therefore abandoned by its crew, her mainmast was taken out by the steamer, as well as the provisions and fuel that were requisite for continuing the voyage to the Pole.

Antiquarian Discovery-In clearing away some buildings on the south side of Tooley-street, nearly opposite St. Olave's Church, for the purpose of form ing the approaches to the New London Bridge, a curious vaulted chamber has been laid open, of lofty dimensions. It is chiefly constructed of Kentish rag-stone, and the architecture is strictly of the Saxon or Anglo-Norman period: boldly turned semicircular arches rest upon short columns, placed against the side walls. These columns have capitals ornamented, in the true Saxon style, with four semicircular compartments. The building is supposed to be part of the inn or town-house of the Prior of Lewes, in Sussex, and must certainly have been constructed as early as the twelfth century.

A Curious Invention A young man, named John Smith, of Beilby, near Pocklington, has constructed a very ingenious and curious piece of mechanism. It is a species of clock-work for measuring distances; the works are contained in a small compass, and fastened to the middle of the axle-tree of his father,'s waggon. The machine has two pointers affixed to it, one of which moves round in one mile, and the other in thirty-six miles. There is also a hammer which strikes a bell at every revolution of the former Its face is ornamented with a painting, representing the Solar system. The young man follows the sublime study of astronomy also. The contrivance reflects great credit upon him, as he has had no mechanical instruction, but has worked at the farming business all his life, and has executed this machine after his daily labour was done.

Cultivation of Potatoes.-A French soldier placed half a dozen potatoes at the bottom of a cask, upon a layer of sand and fresh earth, three or four inches thick; when the stalks had risen to a few inches, he bent them down, and covered them four or five inches deep with the same mixture. He continued this operation until the cask was full. Six or seven months after, upon emptying the vessel (which stood in a court yard) he found that the half dozen potatoes had produced an enormous quantity of new ones, from the portions of the mother stems which had been successively laid down and covered.-Journal des Connais Usuelles.

Longevity.-The St. Petersburg papers announce the death of a man at Moscow, aged 150 years.

Medal of Sir Thomas Lawrence.-It is intended to strike a medal of the late Sir Thomas Lawrence, as one of the series designed to perpetuate the great men of the age. The medal is patronized by his Majesty.-The Athenian.

Bridge building.-It is stated, that Waterloo Bridge was estimated at £50,000, and cost nearly £1,200,000. -Southwark Bridge was estimated at £360,000, and cost upwards of £700.000. Neither of these bridges has paid the original subscribers one farthing.

Tithes.-It never was intended that tithe should be more than a tenth part of the produce of land cultivated in the simplest manner; and in Italy, to this day, no lands pay tithe but the lands in cultivation. from time mmemorial, forming but a small part of every parish. Laud brought into cultivation by the application of capital is never tithed.-World.

Wesleyan Missionary Society.-The regular income of this society for the year ending 31st December, 1829. amounts to forty nine thousand five hundred and sixty-three pounds, exclusive of a munificest bequest from the late Miss Houston, of six thousand fre hundred pounds, making the actual receipts of the year £56,063, being upwards of £6000 increase on the receipts of the year, 1822, and £13,000 more than the previous year.

To prevent the Smoking of a Lamp.-Soak the wick in strong vinegar, and dry it well before you use it: it will then burn both sweet and pleasant, and will amply repay the trifling trouble in preparing it.
