RELIGIOUS AND PHILANTHROPIC
INTELLIGENCE.

North Wales Academy.-The public examination of the students in the academy at Newtown took place on Wednesday, the 14th of May. It commenced at an early hour, and occupied the whole of the day. The result was highly gratifying to the ministers who were assembled on the occasion, and reflected great honour both on the tutor and the students; as the attention of the former, and the diligence of the latter, had evidently been very great.-Ín Latin. The junior class were examined in the Pastorals and Æneid of Virgil: the second class, in the Epistles of Horace: the first class in those of Cicero. All without any previous notice of the parts selected for examination.-In Greek. The junior class translated and analyzed a chapter in the New Testament. The second class were examined in portions selected out of Xenophon's Memorabilia and Plato's Phædon, without previous notice. The first class read parts of Demosthenes' first Philippic, and the 20th book of the Iliad, selected in like manner: they had also attended to critical lectures on the New Testament.-In Hebrew. The second class were examined in the 20th chapter of Ezekiel: the first class, in the 49th chapter of

Genesis and 10th of Joshua,-selected at the moment; from which it appeared, that in this branch of study they had attained great proficiency. The second class read and analyzed the 5th chapter of Daniel, in Chaldaic; and the first class the 26th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, in Syriac. The first chapter of Proverbs was selected, to form a comparison between the Welsh and English languages. The students were likewise examined in logic, geography, algebra, geometry, rhetoric, philosophy, biblical criticism, ecclesiastical history, and divinity. Three of the students delivered essays on the following subjects, (one of which was in Welsh,) "The Perfection of Scripture," "The Benevolence of God," and " Humility." From the whole, the friends and patrons of this Institution are encouraged to look forward with sanguine hopes and expectations, that it will be an increasing and lasting blessing, especially to that part of the principality in which it is situated, notwithstanding the loss it sustained during last year by the death of its late respected tutor, the Rev. Dr. George Lewis.

Baptist Home Missionary Society.-The Annual Meeting of this Society was held at the City of London Tavern; Edward Phillips, Esq. late of Melksham, in the chair. The Report stated, that this Society now affords assistance to upwards of one hundred village preachers, whose labours are carried on at about three hundred and fifty stations, which are situated in thirty-four counties in England, and seven in the principality of Wales-with which are connected one hundred and eight Sunday schools. The receipts of the last year amounted to £1059. 18s. 8d. being considerably more than those of any former year. Several new auxiliary Societies have been established, which promise efficient and permanent aid. In compliance with the earnest desire expressed by many of the subscribers and collectors to this Society, to obtain periodical communications from the journals of the missionaries, and general intelligence respecting the operations of this and similar institutions, the Committee have agreed to publish a Quarterly Register," to commence in the month of September. The Report concluded by stating, that "besides the balance which is due to the treasurer, the Society is under engagements to a considerable amount at five new stations, surrounded by not less than fifty villages and hamlets, where the sound of a preached gospel, or of public worship, is scarcely ever heard. To meet these increased demands, the present income of the Society is totally inadequate; it is, therefore, still necessary to urge all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ, and the souls of men, to exertions more commensurate with the moral and spiritual wants of our fellow countrymen."

Hoxton Academy.-On Tuesday, July 1st, the Annual Examination of the students took place at the academy; when the Rev. Dr. Winter, the Rev. Dr. Manuel, and the Rev. Joseph Fletcher, presided in the several departments of theology, languages, mathematics, &c. The junior class were examined in Cicero, in Æsop's Fables, and in a variety of principles connected with mental culture: they afterwards read several essays. The class of the second year were examined in Horace, in Lucian, on various subjects in intellectual and moral philosophy, and in the third book of Euclid's Elements. The class of the third year were examined in Livy, in Homer; and in Hebrew, in part of Isaiah: they delivered their preparations of a theological lecture, on "the argument for the authenticity of the VOL. VII.-No. 14.

scriptures, from the qualifications and characters of the writers;" and they were afterwards interrogated on the subject by the examiners. The class of the fourth year were examined in Sophocles, in the Chaldee of Daniel, and delivered their preparations from a theological lecture" on the operations of the holy Spirit in implanting the holy principle," after which, they replied to questions proposed by the examiners. A declaration was then signed by the ministers, who had been present at the examination, expressive of their cordial satisfaction and approbation. In the evening, the general meeting of the subscribers was held at the City of London Tavern, Thomas Wilson, Esq. the treasurer, in the chair. The report of the Committee stated, that, among the very considerable number of young men introduced into the ministry during the past year, five had been instrumental in giving origin to new congregations; that the number of students now in the academy is smaller than usual, but that twenty are on the list of candidates for admission. From the statement of accounts, it appears, that a balance of £555 is due to the treasurer. It is hoped that the friends of this important Institution, and especially that the ministers it has educated, will endeavour with greater zeal to promote its pecuniary interests, and will obtain in its aid congregational collections. On the evening of the following day, three of the students delivered short discourses in the chapel: Mr. Ashton, "on the design and efficacy of the gospel;" Mr. Varty, on the obligation of hearers to believe the gospel;" and Mr. Foster, on the duty of believers to seek the salvation of others." The Rev. W. Kemp, theological tutor, introduced the themes, which were delivered by two of the senior studentsthe first by Mr. B. Parsons, on the "holiness of God;" the second by Mr. J. Dryden, on the "omnipresence of God." Mr. Young, of Margate, preached an excellent sermon from 1 Cor. 4. 7.

Baptist Missionary Society.—The public services of this Society, commenced this year, as usual, by two sermons for its benefit, on Wednesday, June 18th. The first was preached in the forenoon at Queen-street chapel, by the Rev. Dr. Steadman, from Isa. lii. 10. the other in the evening, at Surrey chapel, by the Rev. G. Barclay, of Irvine, from Numbers xiv. 21. Thursday morning was held the General Annual Meeting, at Queen-street chapel, Benjamin Shaw, Esq. (treasurer) in the chair. The chairman briefly addressed the meeting, informing them that the debt of £5000, with which they had been encumbered the two last years, was now, through the liberality of Christian friends, completely liquidated. The report contained an interesting account of the present state of the missions, in various parts of the continent of India; in Ceylon, Java, and other eastern islands, and in the West Indies; with statements of a financial nature, and domestic proceedings and arrangements. The chairman, as treasurer, then read an account of the receipts and disbursements; which was received by the meeting with evident marks of high gratification. The subscriptions and donations for the past year amounted to more than £14,400, and there was a balance of £1200 in the hands of the treasurer.

Baptist Society for Promoting the Gospel in Ireland.—The ninth Anniversary of this Society was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on Friday, June 20, at 7 o'clock in the morning; J. Butterworth, Esq. M.P., in the chair. The Report gave a narration of the exertion of the Society's agents in preaching the gospel in

Ireland, in circulating and reading the scriptures, and in supporting schools both for the English and Irish languages. The whole money collected at this meeting amounted to £205.

Blackburn Academy.-The Annual Examination of the students educated in this Institution, took place on Thursday, June 26, before the Committee and friends; the Rev. Dr. Clunie in the chair. The students were examined in various parts of Cæsar, Ovid, Cicero, Tacitus, Juvenal, Xenophon, Demosthenes, and Homer; in the principles of natural and experimental philosophy; in the historical and poetical books of the Old Testament, in Hebrew; and on the evidences of the Christian revelation; in all of which they acquitted themselves to the great satisfaction of the company, and reflected the highest credit, both on their own diligence, and the abilities of their tutors. In the evening, two of the senior students delivered orations in Chapel-street chapel; after which a public meeting of the constituents was held, James Cunliffe, Esq. the treasurer, in the chair. The Rev. R. Slate preached on the preceding evening, in Mountstreet chapel, a very appropriate discourse from Mal. ii. 7. As some vacancies will occur at Christmas next, applications for admission may be made to the Rev. G. Payne, A.M. the theological and resident tutor, on or before Michaelmas next.
