It is rumoured, that the learned judges of the King's Bench are divided in opinion as to the propriety of granting a new trial in the case of .Sir F. Burdett. The delay which has taken place in palling their judgment, confirms this report.

The Earl of Liverpool has announced his intention of taking that opportunity, to enter into a Com- prvhenvive^ie.sv.o.f, !bffea£^aitro^itf&i of the country, in its manufacturing, ag¬ ricultural, and commercial relations.— How such a topic will be treated by the noble Earl may easily be anticipated. The motion, also, being brought forward with the concurrence of Ministers, the committee will, of course, be granted ; and as the noble Marquis has judiciously confined the proposed enquiry to one de¬ finite object, the information that will be obtained, will doubtless tend to eluci¬ date that very important question. It will necessarily embrace the doctrines so temperately urged in the city petition, presented by Mr. Baring, and ascertain how far our present system of prohibito¬ ry and protecting duties operates injuri¬ ously upon our foreign trade,, as well as the degree of relaxation in that system which may safely be adopted. u We cannot, however, but depreci¬ ate the attempt which seems to be ma¬ king, of exciting a sort of angry rival ship between the agricultural, the commer¬ cial, and the manufacturing interests of the country. If they are to run a race for relief, and to seek their objects upon separate claims, they will either mutually obstruct each other, or win a barren tri¬ umph. The merchant cannot be cxclii- siv.li/ protected ; the farmer cannot be exclusively protected ; the manufacturer cannot be exclusively protected. The prosperity of the whole depends upon the co-ordinate prosperity of the part.-. This principle has, perhaps, been too much neglected hitherto, in our Legislative en¬ actments ; we have too often li-lemd to individual representations, and passed Inns to protect insulated portions of the national industry. Whether we can now extricate ourselves from the piecemeal system of legislation, is extiprnelv doubt¬ ful, lint we can, at Least, avoid a repe¬ tition of the error, and. in whatever we imw do, act upon general and compre¬ hensive views of the subject."

From tiie length of tlic Report of the Committee, and the great number of elo¬ quent speakers, w hi delivered their sen¬ timents en the occasion, we shall be able to give only a brief outline of the pro¬ ceedings. The Noble Chairman opened the busi¬ ness of the day by congratulating the meeting upon their having a^ain assem¬ bled upon so highly interesting and im¬ portant an occasion, from the business of which he would not long detain them ; but he should not be doing justice to his own feeling** or he (rusted to theirs, if he failed to oiler his sincere tribute cf res- pectand gratitude to the memory of his Royal Highness the late Duke of Kent. The report of the committee, a very voluminous though avowedly compressed document, was then, read by the'Rev. ivlr. Owen, assisted by the Rev. Daniel Wil¬ son. It commenced with the Foreign re¬ lations of the Society. In France, their exertions had answered their most san¬ guine expectations. Independently of the Parent Society, there were a great and increasing number of auxiliary ones, and not only were they supported by the Protestant part of the community, but by that which was exclusively Catholic. The Due d'Angoulemc, in reply to a letter which had been addressed to him, had expressed himself in the most friendly terms towards the society, and their ob¬ jects, and the Due deCazes had not on¬ ly expressed himself in a similar manner, but had subscribed 1000 livres in sup¬ port of tli ir funds. In the United Ne¬ therlands and its dependencies, Chris¬ tians of every denomination, and even Jews, exhibit the most earnest desire to possess the scriptures, and to support the societies by which they are distributed. From Switzerland, Hanover, Saxony, Wirtemberg, Prussia, Denmark, Rus¬ sia, Sweden, and Norway, the intelli¬ gence was of the most gratifying kind. Similar accounts had been received from the Ionian Islands, and from Athens where a Bible Society had been estab¬ lished, under the patronage of the high¬ est civil and ecclesiastical authorities of the place. ',1 he eighth report of the Cal¬ cutta b.hie Society, and that from Ma¬ dras and its dependencies, furnished a- bondant [n oof of the advantages derived from the labors of the parent society. In China; though ike jealous power of the ovc.ruTU "J1 1 'v to prevent tup government still operates to prevent the admission of the Holy Scriptures ; yet well founded hopes arc entertained, that the exertions which are making, will e- ventually succeed in shedding the light of the Gospel over that vast empire. Un¬ der the direction of that excellent man, Dr. Morrison, the whole Dible has now been translated into the Chinese lan¬ guage, and the one thousand pounds vo¬ ted by the Society for that desirable ob¬ ject had been appropriated thereto. The Nievv South Wales Bible Society hadbeen zealously Supp 1 ted by all the civil, mili¬ tary and ecclesiastical authorities in the colony, and its establishment promised the most beneficial results. The reports which had been made from the South Sea Islands were most gratifying. The whole Gospel of St. Luke had been translated into the Otaheitan language, and 3,000 copies had been print< d and nearly dis¬ tributed. Multitudes in those Islands can now read with ease, and many can even write and read, and it was common to see them sitting in circles under the shade of tree-, even till midnight, listen¬ ing with profound attention to the read¬ ing of the scriptures. In Africa and America, the kingdom of Hayti and the Western Arehipelago, there was unques¬ tionable evidence o\ the great and grow¬ ing success of that Holy cause, in which the society is engaged. In reporting the domestic concerns of the Society, the committee had the satisfaction of stating, that notwithstanding the untoward cir¬ cumstances of the times, commercial dif¬ ficulties, and anti-cluistian doctrines, they continued most prosper- :s; though, from the extraordinary exerth r.s which had been made, the expenditure of the Inst year had exceeded that of the prece¬ ding one, at the same time there had not been a corresponding addition to their funds. The reading of theJReport having been concluded— The Duke of Gloucester rose to move, that it be receivj dand adopted, lie said, it was tml) gratifying to observe that at <very succeeding anniversary the Reports wore more and more encouraging- \\ hen & •
