P. and V. P. in the Chair, supported by four of the other Vice Presidents; viz. the Earl of Crawford and Lindsay, J. L. Goldsmid, E. Cresswell, and E. Maitland, Esqrs. The Annual Report being extremely voluminous, the Rev. J. Wilcox stated the substance of it to the Meeting, announcing, amongst other things, that 43 children had been received into the institution since the last Report; — that a cotton manufactory had been established, together with a printingoffice for the employment of adult Jews; that a controversy had taken place between the Rev. L. Richmond and a Jew, at Bedford, through the medium of a provincial paper; that another learned Jew had challenged Mr. Frey to a public controversy in the Jews' Chapel, which Mr. Frey had accepted; and that there had been a considerable accession to the Society of Auxiliary Committees in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; through which latter principality Mr. Frey was about to make a tour, for the purpose of collections, in July and August. Members of several of the Auxiliary Committees attended, especially from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin, and Bedford, and communicated the resuit of their proceedings and collections. It was stated that the Committee intended immediately to commence the publication of a Translation of the New Testament in pure biblical Hebrew. A copy of the Travancore M. S. was exhibited, with specimens of another, which it is probable the Committee will adopt for the basis of their translation.-The assistance of Literary Men of every Denomination is requested, in order to insure the accuracy of what. may justly be considered a national work; and it is hoped will become a stupendous monument of literature. Plans were also exhibited of the New Erections which the Committee propose to commence during the summer, of a School House, other offices, at Bethnal Green; Chapel, Asylum, Manufactory, and where they have taken a piece of ground. Amongst other names mentioned as Additional Subscrib venor and Lord Dundas, the Bishops ers, were those of the Earl of Grosof St. Davids and Waterford, the Archdeacons Thompson, Grace, and Deans Digby and Macmuel, the Viper, the Provost and three of the Senior Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin. -One Irish Gentleman was announced to be a Subscriber of 50. per annum. Three Jewish lads, educating for the ministry, and who have discovered considerable ta lents and dispositions of piety, gave proofs of their attainments in their last year.

The Annual Sermon was preached at the parish church by the Rev. Melville Horne, late of St. Andrew by the Wardrobe, Chaplain to the Colony of Sierra Leone: after which a collection was made for the benefit of the inThe preacher even surpassed the stitution, amounting to £275. 2s.7d. efforts which he had before made, on more than one occasion, in tehalf of Missions; and pleaded this eloquence which could scarcely great cause with an energy and fail to convince and move his hearthe Clergy of the Established Church His especial aim was to rouse ers. to take a personal share in propagating the Gospel through the Heathen World.The Annual General Meeting of the Society was afterwards held at the New London Tavern, Cheapside, W. Wilberforce, Esq. M. P. one of the Governors of the Society, in the Chair, attended by T. Babington, Esq. M. P. Governor, C. Grant, Esq. M.P. Governor, H Thornton, Esq. M. P. Treasurer, and many other gentlemen; when a Report of the Proceedings during the last year was read by the Rev. Josiah Pratt, B.D, Secretary. From the Report it appears, that upwards of fifty persons, adults and children, are dependent on the Society, at its settlements on the Rio Pongas, in Africa; that the schools of native children, in that quarter, are in a very flourishing state; and that the Missionaries are invited to extend their labours, both southward to the Dembia, and northward to the Rio Numis; in which stations large schools are offered to them by friendly chiefs. These encouraging proposals will be embraced as soon as several Missionaries, who are waiting for a passage to Africa, shall arrive at their destination. The Society has also granted the sum of £250 per annum to its Corresponding Committee at Calcutta, to establish Readers of the Scriptures in the market-places of the principal towns in India. The Report likewise contains interesting communications from the Rev. S. Marsden, respecting New Zealand, and the best means of diffusing the light of the gospel throughout the islands of the Southern Ocean.-The Society's funds, it appears, are not adequate to the objects opening before it. Contributions will be thankfully received by Mr. T. Smith, Deputy Secretary, No. 19, Little Moorfields; and at the Banking Houses of Mess. Down, Thornton, and Co. Bartholonew Lane; Mess. Hoare's, FleetStreet; Mess.Ransom, Morland, and Co. Pall Mall. The Annual Association of Independent Ministers in the county of Kent, will be holden at Sheerness, July 10. Edinburgh Missionary Society. On Tuesday, April 2, the Edinburgh Missionary Society held their anniversary meeting. The sermon was preached by Mr. Brown, Inverkeithing, in Bristo Street Meetinghouse, from Isajah Ixii. 6. 7. -A Report from the Directors was read, in which they express their regret that they have so little intelligence to communicate to their friends, not having heard from the missionaries for six months; and the letters then received being dated as far back as April 1810. - These accounts were not very favourable. They had all, except one, retired for a time from the settlement of Karass. For some time before their departure, they had been in danger of their lives, and obliged to keep constant watch. Mrs. Galloway, a converted native, had died in the faith. On being asked, the day be fore she died, if she was afraid to die; she answered that she was not, for Jesus was the friend of sinners. Several of the natives who lived with the mission had been enticed away, but not one of the baptised, who were conducting themselves in a manner becoming the Christian profession. One of the ransomed boys had gone off; and it was supposed he had perished in the woods. It were much to be wished that the state of Europe allowed of more frequent intercourse with these Missionaries in the north, which would relieve the minds of their relations in this country from the great anxiety that they must feel, and be satisfactory to all who are interested in their personal safety and the success of the mission. Baptist Missionary Society. THE 21st Number of their Pe riodical Accounts is just published. It begins with a general history of the mission, from its commence eut to January 1810. This is followed by a great number of extracts from letters written by their Missionaries an account of the Proceedings of the Committee, and an Appendix, including the subscriptions, collections, &c. from Oct. 1809 to Oct. 1810; amounting, with the balance of the preceding year, translation of the Scriptures, and the extension of Christianity.

He intends to touch at Alexandria, in his voyage to Palestine; and to return, by the Lesser Asia, thro' the region of the seven primitive churches; to pass from thence to Athens and Corinth, and the larger islands of the Archipelago. - Dr. B will take charge of Bibles for distribution in his way, in Portugal, Spain, and Malta. Queries respecting the state of the countries he may visit, connected with the promotion of Christianity, or the elucidation of Scriptural History, will be communicated to him if sent to Mr.Hatchard's, 190, Piccadilly, London.
