Who can describe the numerous important advantages that must result from such an institution, to domestic comfort, to social happiness, to civil order, to national reputation, to the honour of Christianity, to the perishing body, to the immortal spirit? What mind can estimate the value and extent of that good which is implied in the complete reformation of a single unfortunate female? To snatch the seduced from the brink, and the more depraved from the gulph of prostitution, and to place them under the mild discipline and salutary influence of such an establishment, is to connect every sort of charity together, and to include almost every good in one. To do this, is at once to "deliver the tempted," to rescue the ensnared, and to defend the persecuted. It is to save the perishing from ruin, to supply the destitute, to shelter the exposed, to give an asylum to the outcast, to instruct the uninformed, perhaps to reclaim the wicked, and to restore her who is covered with ignominy and contempt, to a condition in which she may respect herself and be respected by others. We hear that about 700l. was immediately subscribed. The names of the Gentlemen who compose the Committee, with a further account of this commendable undertaking, may be expected in our next. Subscriptions are received by the following, bankers: Messrs. Hankey and Co. Fenchurch Street; Messrs. Down, Thornton, and Co. Bartholomew Lane; Messrs. Forster, Lubbock, and Co. Mansion House Street; Messrs. Fuller, Chatteris, and Co. Lombard Street; Messrs Hoares, Fleet Street; Messrs. Smith and Holt, Broad Street; Messrs. Ransom, Morland, and Co. Pail-Mall; or by the Treasurer, W. Alers, Esq. (Hankey and Co.'s); and by the Secretary, Thomas Pellat, Esq. Fenchurch Street. We learn from Holland, That Nine Answers to the following Prize Question of the Amsterdam Society for the Increase of Religious Knowledge, have been received: "How comes it, that in our dark and sorrowful Times, Insensibility is 30 great, and a sufficient Attention to the Dispensations and Judgments of God is so little observable? and, What are the best Means and most applicable, to counteract the spreading of that Insensibility?" The answer of M. C. A. Vanderbroeck, preacher, at Oud-Beizerland, has obisited the prize. Dec. 18. The Rev. J. Atkinson, one of the tutors of Hoxton Academy, was set apart to the pastoral office over the church and congregation assembling in the chapel belonging to that institution, Mr. Buck introduced the service; Mr. R. Winter delivered the introductory discourse; Mr. Ford prayed; Mr. Clayton preached from Col. i. 7; and Mr. Stollery concluded. The congregation has in a few years increased from 200 to 1200; and three considerable enlargements of the chapel have been found necessary. It is intended in future to invite the assistance of country ministers, more especially of such as have received their education in this seminary, as it is found by experience, that while their diversified gifts are called forth in preaching to a numerous congregation, their zeal for the welfare of the Academy is kept alive, and their attachment to the tutors is strengthened and perpetuated. The students preach every Thursday evening. Twelve ministers have been sent out from the above Academy in the course of the last year. Jan. 1, 1807. The Annual Collection made at Surry Chapel, for the Benevolent Society for Visiting the Sick and Afflicted at their own Habitations, amounted to 159 1. rés. At this meeting, among other remarkable relations, an account was read of a man who had been one of Colonel Despard's confederates; but who became a remarkable monument of Divine Grace; and which shall be laid before our readers in our next Magazine. From the Methodist Magazine for November last, we learn, That the total number of persons in the Societies of Methodists, in various parts of America, according to the last Annual Report of the Seven Conferences in that country, is 130570; the number. of Itinerant Preachers is 500; · and of Local Preachers 2000.

ELEGY On the DEATH of the late Reverend and much-lamented Two famous Statesmen *, and two Heroes brave+, And Britain sorrows for the mighty dead. If polish'd manners, and if taste refin'd― If vig'rous intellect and manly sense, Lately, the Man of God exalted stood, Small spot of earth where rest his sacred bones, O much-respected, much-lamented friend, Oft, as thy people tread the flow'ry fields, At evening sit around the blazing fire; Of former times conversing, and the way * Messrs. Pitt and Fox. + Lords Nelson and Cornwallis. The Upper Avon passes by Warwick, washing the lofty walls of the venerable castle, from whence it proceeds to Stratford, distant eight miles, celebrated for being the birth-place of Shakespeare. Thus shall one speak, and heave a heartfelt sign, "He's dead! and Mem'ry aggravates my pain; "And soon, perhaps, when Heav'n's Almighty King "And soar to regions of eternal day! "Till that bless'd hour, much-honor'd friend, Adieu!" Wotton under Edge. MY JESUS. COMPOSED DURING ILLNESS Alas! tho' friends and neighbours die, And shrinking Nature shuts her eyes We shun the dart, we shun the sight, As tho' we never were to meet, Or to resign our breath! But let us view this monster near, And from the good man's mortal couch Here say, my soul, what terrors dwell: Does he view Death as sinners do? Calm and serene, he smiles to feel The last dissevering pain; Aud gain a rich reward! May I then seek this wond'rous gain! O be my Saviour while I live, My Saviour when I die! Evesham. J. C. |
