BRITISH and FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY,
WOBURN and DUNSTABLE, Bedfordshire.

A Public Meeting was held at Woburn, on Friday the 21st of August, 1812, for the Purpose of forming a Branch of the Bedfordshire Auxillary Bible Society, for the Towns and neighbouring Districts of Woburn and Dunstable;
His Grace the Duke of Bedford, President, in the Chair.
After his Grace had opened the Meeting, the Gentlemen deputed from the Bedford Central Committee, by Desire of his Grace, addressed the numerous and respectable Assembly in Explaination of the Nature and Design or this beneficent Institution.
The Resolutions were moved by Henry Hugh Hoare, Esq. seconded by the Rev.the Rector of Turvey, and carried unanimously by Shew of Hands.
Motions and Addresses were also made by the Rev.Dr.Johnson, the Rev.Messrs.Gauntlett, Nethersole, Whittingham, Ramfleur, Hunt, Patrick, Castledine, Wake, Keeley, Messrs.Hall, Runciman, Osborn, Drake, Martin, Camps, Grant, Tift, Salmon, and Wheeler.
Mr.Camps was appointed Treasurer of the Woburn District, and Mr.Scriven, Treasurer of the Dunstable District.
Mr.Salmon was appointed Secretary, and Mr.Wiffen Assistant Secretary of the Woburn District.
Mr.Watts was appointed Secretary of the Dunstable District.
Twenty-four Gentlemen in each District were appointed as Committees for the Conduct of Business.
The Annual Day of Meeting was fixed for the last Week in July.
Upwards of £150 was subscribed towards the Funds of this united Branch Society.
The Committee will speedily enquire into the Necessities of the Poor in their respective Districts, particularly observing the highly judicious Distinction recommended by the Parent Society, of selling as reduced Prices wherever they can do so with Propriety, and only giving where actual Necessity requires it. The Money for which Bibles and Testaments are sold will be wholly applied to the Purchase of more Bibles and Testaments at the Bedford Bible Depository, for the further Supply of the labouring and necessitous Poor of these Districts.
The unexampled Demand for Bibles and Testaments at the Parent Depository in London, precludes the Supply from arriving quite so speedily as the Committees desire, but as they are gradually and regularly issuing out, they will eventually meet the Wishes of the Parties concerned.

It gives us real pleasure to find that the efforts made in many places to capacitate the youth of both sexes, to read the scriptures, are commensurate with the measures taken to furnish them with them. - We learn that an exact an minute investigation has been made into the parish of Kettering, by the Committee of the Branch Bible Society in that place. - The result is such as must gratify every pious and benevolent mind, and is highly favourable to the present standard of religion and morals established there. - It appears that in a population of more than 3,400, only five individuals are found, between the ages of five and fifteen years, who cannot read: and of these five, three or four now go to school. - The following is an abstract of the enquiry made among the lower classes of the inhabitants :- Number of families enquired into, 546; number of individuals, 2,047; number of bibles in their possession, 605; number of families without bibles, 106; number of imperfect bibles, 125; number of persons who cannot read, 63; age of those who cannot read, between five and fifteen, 5; above fifteen, 58; only three or four of the above 58 persons appear to be under thirty years of age.

About six o'clock on the morning of Wednesday se'nnight, during a dreadful storm, the lightning split an oak tree, of large dimensions near the house of Mr.Marshall, at Hatton, Warwickshire, it entered at the top of the tree, and rended it in three directions to the root; the bark was thrown to the distance of 16 yards, and the tree left entirely bare as if it had been peeled. On the same morning, 11 sheep out of 13, which had taken shelter under some trees, on the farm of Mr.Murcott, of Baginton, were killed by the electric fluid; one was struck blind, and the other escaped without injury. It is rather singular, that a few years ago, 11 sheep were killed by lightning on the same farm.

A new-built farm house at Willesley, two miles from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, was burnt down about seven or eight o'clock on Wednesday morning last, owing to the lightning, which was truly terrific. The outbuildings were fortunately detached from the house, consequently they were saved; but were are sorry to hear, that very little indeed of the household furniture escaped the flames. The house was the property of Sir Charles Hastings, who, we understand, witnessed the conflagration. The engines from Ashby arrived too late.

Execution of Booth at Stafford. - On Saturday se'nnight, Booth was brought upon the scaffold to suffer the punishment due to his sentence. The most distressing occurrence took place at the time of his execution; the rope slipping he fell on the ground, and many people thought he was dead, but the unfortunate man got up and fell to his knees, praying to the Almighty for his misdeeds ! The assistants then prepared the scaffold again, but, owing to the most culpable negligence, the drop remained fast, when Booth gave the signal for it to fall; and it was not until much force had been applied that the drop fell, when the unfortunate criminal at length suffered the dreadful sentence of the law. - The number of people that attended was not no numerous as was expected, but all appeared much shocked at the suffering of the malefactor.

On Friday last, the trial of John Lomas, for the murder of his master, Geo.Morrey, farmer, of Hankelow, and Edith Morrey, wife of the said G.Morrey, for aiding and assisting him in the murder, came on at Chester, when after a trial of great length the Jury, without retiring, gave a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. The Judge then passed the awful sentence of the law upon them . - The prisoners were ordered for execution on Monday the 24th inst. On receiving his sentence, Lomas stretched out his hand, and exclaimed, "I deserve it all - I don't wish to live, but I hope for mercy." He maintained the greatest composure throughout the trial. Mrs.Morrey, the miserable widow, pleaded pregnancy; a Jury of Matrons was instantly impannelled, and they returned a true bill. Her execution, therefore, will most likely be procrastinated till the commencement of the ensuing year.




PROCLAIMATION of the EMPEROR ALEXANDER.
[Published by the Commander-in-Chief, General Bennigsen.]

"RUSSIANS ! - The enemy has quitted Dwina, and has proclaimed his intention of offering battle. He accuses you of timidity, because he mistakes - of affects to mistake - the policy of your system. Can he then have forgotten the chastisement which your valour inflicted at Dunaberg and Mihr, whatever, in short, it has been deemed proper to oppose him ? - Desperate counsels are alone compatible with the enterprise he has undertaken and the dangers of his situation; but shall we, therefore, be imprudent, and forego the advantages of our own ? He would march to Moscow - let him. But can he, by the temporary possession of that city, conquer the Empire of Russia, and subjugate a population of 30,000,000. Distant from his resources near 800 miles, he would, if victorious, not escape the fate of the warrior Charles XII. When, pressed on every side by hostile Armies, with a peasantry sworn to his destruction - rendered furious by his excesses, and irreconcilable by difference of religion, of customs, of language, how would he retreat ?
"RUSSIANS ! - Rely on your Emperor and the Commanders whom he has appointed. He knows the ardent and indignant valour which burns in the bosoms of his soldiers at the boasts of the enemy. He knows that they are eager for battle; that they grieve at its being deferred, and at the thought of retiring. This cruel necessity will not exist long. Even now the period of its duration lessens. Already are our Allies preparing to menace the rear of the invader; while he, inveigled too far to retreat with impunity, shall soon have to combat with the seasons, with famine, and with the innumerable Armies of Russians. - Soldiers, when the period for offering battle arrives, your Emperor will give the signal, will be an eye-witness of your exploits, and reward your valour.
(Signed) "Alexander."

Proclaimation of the Emperor, on the troops breaking up
from Drissa

"BELOVED SUBJECTS ! - In pursuance of the policy advised by our Military Council, the armies will, for the present, quit their positions and retire farther into the interior, in order the more readily to unite. The enemy may possibly avail himself of this opportunity to advance; he has announced this intention. Doubtless, in spite of his boast, he begins to feel the difficulties of his menaced attempt to subjugate us, and is anxious therefore to engage; he is desperate, and would therefore put every thing upon the issue of a battle. The honour of our Crown, the interests of our subjects, prescribe, however, a different policy : it is necessary that he should be made sensible of the madness of his attempt. If urged by the desire of obtaining provisions and forage, or goaded by an insatiable cupidity for plunder, he should be blind to the danger of farther committing himself at such an immense distance from his territories, it would become the duty of every loyal Russian - every true friend to his country, to co-operate cheerfully with us in impeding equally his progress or his retreat, by destroying his supplies - his means of conveyance; in short, every thing which can be serviceable to him. We, therefore, order, that such of our subjects in the provinces of Witepsk and Pkov, as may have articles of subsistence, either for man or beast, beyond their immediate want, to deliver them to officers authorised to receive them, and for which they will be paid the full value out of the Imperial Treasury. The owners of growing crops within the distance of the line of the enemy's march, are commanded to destroy them, and they shall be reimbursed their loss. The proprietors of magazines, either of provisions or cloathing, are required to deliver them to the Commissaries for the use of the army, and they will be liberally remunerated. In general, the spirit of this order is to be carried into execution in regard to all articles, whether of subsistence, of cloathing, or of conveyance, which may be considered useful to the invaders; and the Magistrates are made responsible for the due fulfilment of these our commands. - Alexander."
