North Shields, Alnwick, Wooler, and Hexham, the collections have been very handsome. At Warkworth, Morpeth, Glanton, Branton, Blyth, and Horsley, which are smaller places, the collections have been quite as good as could have been expected. I had much pleasure in accompanying Mr. Bennet to several of the places he visited. Hexham and Horsley being out of Mr. Bennet's route, I visited myself. At the former place I attended a public meeting, and preached.

"I hope we shall be able to follow up what has been done this year, by continuing to send the Deputation annually to the dif ferent Presbyterian congregations in the northern part of this county. The interests of the Society may thus be considerable promoted. It is gratifying to know that at some places, where missionary collections had not been made for many years, great interest in the Society was evidently felt, and a willingness to aid it, as far as circumstances would permit, expressed.

BRISTOL.

"A. R."

The twentieth anniversary of the Bristol Missionary Society was held in that city on the 16th of September, and following days. The services commenced on Sunday morning (the 16th), by a public prayer-meeting at Lady Huntingdon's Chapel, at seven o'clock, on which day the Rev. J. E. Good (who has since settled at Zion Chapel, Bedminster,) preached morning and evening, at Hope

Chapel, Clifton. On the following morning (the 17th) the Rev. D. Jones, of Westerleigh, preached at St. Philip's Church; and, on the same evening, the Rev. J. E. Good at Zion Chapel, and also, on Tuesday morning (the 18th), at Lady Huntingdon's Chapel. On the evening of the same day, the Rev. R. W. Hamilton, of Leeds, preached at Bridge Street Chapel, and again on Wednesday morning (the 19th) at Castle Green Chapel, at which place the sacrament was administered in the evening, when the Rev. R. W. Hamilton presided; and, at the same time, the Rev. A. Fletcher, of London, preached at Bridge Street Chapel, to the young people connected with the different Branch Societies. On Thursday morning (the 20th) the annual meeting was held at the Wesleyan Chapel, King Street, S. Prust, Esq., in the chair; on which occasion an interesting report was read by the Rev. G. Legg, A.M., and appropriate addresses delivered by the Rev. Messrs. Wait, Hamilton, Fletcher, Good, Ramfler, Winter, Osborne, Macdonald, Lucy, and Gregory. In the evening the Rev. A. Fletcher preached at the Tabernacle, and again, on the following evening, at the Rev. S. Brown's Chapel, Ashton. Throughout the services, generally, there appeared to be a lively feeling of interest, in the great object of missionary exertions, excited and sustained; and the collections were, on the whole, as good as, under the peculiar circumstances of the times and the city, could have been reasonably expected.
