Xhe folhieing Account nf the Meeting, at wliich, thi- foregoing Henululiom were passed, is copicil from
the RocKiSGH.iM, and Hull Packet Netcspapers. ^

ON WrnnnDAV, November 24, an highly in««ret(lng Meeting was held in Geokge-Yabo Chapel, in this Town, for the purpose
of forminna Mr.Tiiooi'T MimiofiARV Socirr*.

Thr firr. J.ihem IVifm pmrhed a TPrv ncellent Sennon on the preceding Etening, fiom Isaiah Ixii. 7, wherein he shewed the
obligitio-i* whiih (,'hriMi«n» were under In pmy for the spjead of the Gospel, and to support the labours of pious Missionaries " milil
Jenisaleiluill become* pr|is«in^' earth." r I . i. ^ . t ^ > 4m

On •following nornnig, at (en o'flock,wle Hev.WtmlAhtt WjTsoWi preachM^ rery eloquent Discourse, from Reri^. B, 7.
Amcng mier expressions, were the following: "The British ai'.d i-oreign Ulbie Society has rolled a noble stream nf truth through
the worii but you roust send Christian Missionaries, to slsi-d upon its biiiits nnd cry, //o, erery o;ic Ihia Ihintcth, came ye to
•, the Kfiler},"

In the Afternoon, at two o'clock, the Gallery was completely filled with females; and the lower |Mrt of the Chapel was.crowded
toeocess. Mr. Jamri Wood o|)ened the Meeting with singing and prayer. Thomas TuoMrsoN, Ksq. M. 1>. was unanimously calk'd
(o the Chair : Me observed, the Methodists had long been eminent for their indiridual exertions in the cause of Missions, but that the
object of these Meetinj^s, was to unite their strength, as a religious body of people, that they might act upon a more extensirc plan. He
related some anecdotes well calculated to assist the Missionary cause, particularly requested the prayers of the poor, and concluded
wirh ohserring, " We had mther have your prai/ert than your elappingi ; we know you will feel much interested on this occasion,
but requctt you will refrain from giving those loud plaudits, which are usual at public meetings."

The first Resolution was moved by the Iter. JuAn Kfj/noltli, which he prefaced by contratting the rise and progress t,' (infidelity
ill Kinncr, with the rise and progress of Metba<lism in Kngland ; remarking, that in the year 17^0, the French Philosopher, Voltaire,
came nvir to this Country, to form an acquaintance with the Infidels here ; and that in the same year the first Methodists b^an their
I'royer Meetings, in Oifonl. In the year 1742, the Illuminati Clubs were formed in Germany, and that about the same tim«, the first
MciliodM Conference was held in London. These rival establishments were very dill'crently supported ; the one was countenanced
and upheld by men of rank and influence; the other, feeble in its infancy, was very generally opposed: but now the interests of infi-
dclity wrte gradually on the decline, while the cause of Vital Christianity, was prospering in the earth. He further remarked,
that by an astonishing I'rovidence, while Voltaire and his associates were battering down the outworks of Christianity, the Methodists
wrio engaged in strengthening the interior by diffusing the spirit of Ueligion throughout the iiatioa. He concluded by ibseniiig,
that as ill our feebleness we hnd made great and successful elforts to evangelize the heathen, so in the day of our strength we must
not lie backward in promoting the same glorious cause to a much greater extent.

He *iu seconded by Mr. fV. B. Ptummer, who after some prefatory remarks, urged the necessity of these institutions, from the
circumstance nf the Mission Fund being deprived of the labours of Ur. Coke, who was now in the decline of life, shut up in^iis closet
learning (he languages of India, previous to his voyage across the ocean, and to the commencement of his labours, as a Missionary among
^tr!lt,Ke^» iq a dislaiit land. Adverting to the " signs of the times," he observed, that the Almighty was calling back his mini^itirs
of justic^^nd sending foith his ministers of mercy. He instanced the change which had taken place in the condition of the degraded
Afrlcansflrthe abolitioiyif the.Slavv Trade^ iMvi^y the e%rts jif Chri^iaa Al^si^naries. Lastly, he anticipated thejLiie when
Africa ciWzed and enlightened by the preaching of the Gos|iel should have Black Bishops on the Bench, or Black Presb}fers in the
Chair, equal in wisdom and piety, tc their renowned countrymen, St. Cyprian and St. Augustine. \

The Rev. W. Warrener, who had been employed many years as a Missionary in the West Indies, gare some account of (he
rise and spread of Methodism, in the Island of Antigua, and related many very interesting anecdotes respecting both the Negroes
nnd the Planters. The beneficial influence of religion on the minds of the converted Negroes, was manifest in the loyalty of their
sfiitiments, theinirlty of their religious principles, and in the uprightness of their conduct, Mr. W. observed (hat when they spake of
the King, they called him "our good father King George," and when they mentioned Kngland, it was with the greatest repaid. They
had the s%me hopes and fears, the same joys and sorrows, as the European Christians, nnd no persons in any country could place a
higher value \\\vtn their religious advantages than these poor Blacks. When the l«land was expected to be invaded by the French, Mr.
ffarrener, and another Missionary undertook to raise a Corps of Volunteers, which they efi'ected to the number of Seven Hunilred.
On akkii^ some of them for what will.voii fight, they returned this memorable answer, "for our wives, for our children^ and for
our r.lu^l." A Planter being surprised to see some of his produce in safety, which might have been stolen with impunity, said to
■ Negro Watchman," How is it that (his has mil been s(olen, seeing you are all thieves? was answered, "No, Massa! the Ncgurswho
go to prayers, never teeve," this simple reply so afl°ectcd the Planter, who had been much prejudii;ed against the Methodists, that he
immediately sent for Mr. Baxter, the Missionary, to instruct the Slaves on his esta(e.

The second Resolution was proposed by the Rev. Thomas Simmomle, who after expressing the joy of his soul, on first reading the
Resolution! of the I^eeds Meeting, and his entire approbation of the proceedings of this day, concluded with observing, how heartily
the Friends of the Gospel, in his Circuit, would unite in promoting the designs of this Society.

This Motion was supported by Mr. S. MidilleloH, who i(ated the obligadous, which his family were unde- to support Methodist
Missions^ He observed, that his falher lived in on obscure par( of (he country, far removed from a Gospel Ministry, and that he first
heard the iound of Salvation, from the mouth of a Me!hodist Missionary, who was preaching in the Streets, of a neighbouring Town.
That having experienced sonietbing of (he power of the Gospel on his ow n miud, he ardently desiretl (ha( the same Gospel might be
preached to the heathen.

The Rrc. J. liiittiing delivered a very eloquent speech in the most easy nnd graceful manner : Ho noticed the unanimity of the
meeting, and remarked that a speaker here was so singularly circumstanced, that he had no objections to answer, no arguments to
refute, no difficult.^ (o overcome. The s(ato of the heathen world called for the purifying influences of the Christian Religion, and the
dangers m which iho heathens were exposed, pleaded most strongly for the interference of Christian Ministen, It l^rue, (he
Methodists have various Missionaries employed, but a wide field remainal yet untrodden, and they have no adequate means to enable
them to cultivate it. It had been asked "Have you any Missionary Colleges? Yes, the most extensive in the world. lie instanced
(he West Indies, where Missionaries were preparing for Africa and America ; the Prison Ships on the Medway and (he Hamoaze, from
which Missionaries would be sen( in(o France: He exclaimed, did no( every British heart triumph in (he vic(ories recently obtained
over French tyranny ; and would not every Christian heart (rii^mph in (he success of (hose missions over French infidelKy and wicked-
ness. Men nc( best in Societies, their example is inspiring to each other ; which of us, who are present this day, would have felt the same
Interest in the Missionary cause, hnd we been meditating in our own houses on this important subj-Hit. To evangelize the heathen
world, would require ilie exertions of all Christendom, and though we could not expect, in our day, to see this accomplished ; yet we
may, like David, pre|>nre materials for the temple of (iod, and thus contribute (o (he advancement of his kingdom upon earth. Mr. B.
concluded by saying, (hnt the public need not be apprehensive that the Subscriptions to the Mission Fund would raise more money than
ih" SociL'ty wanted, as new openings were presenting themselves daily. A man of respectability and piety had la(ely conceived it (o
be his du(y (n go and do good among the poor outcasts, at Bolaiiy Bay ; he had been instrumental in raising a small Methodist Society,
nnd had requested (hii( two Missionaries might lie sent from Kngland to (heir assistance.

Mr, John Hill, in very elo<|ueiit Iniigunge ilesirilied the stntc of Britain, previous to its conversion to Christianity. He was about
to give some account of (he exertions which had been made to ctangeli/.o the lieathen, but he was so unwell, that after several attempts
to proceed, he was obliged to sit down, to the great disappointment of nil present, who were prepared to receive much satisfaction from his
exertions in the Missionary cause.

The Rev. Jonuthan liarker stated, (ha( such were his feelings on (he present cccasion, that language could not utter what he
wished (0 express; (he sight of so numerous nnd respectable nn nssenibly uflbrded him great pleasure, and augured well for (hat cause,
in which they were at pre: ent embarked. The Methodists, he snid, had long been engaged in Missionary ell'orts, but now, a new and
extensive field presented itself to them in the I'Usi, (Ik call of Ciod was heard, and it was their bounden duly to obey it. Proper
|>ersans, he had no doubt, would bo found to go, and when he looked round, and %nw the marked interest, .lO manifest in the coun>
tenances of (he audience, he hesitated not to say, that (he means would be amply supplii'd; in giving a lidlc of our silver and gold,
we only gave (o God (hat which was his own, and llia( which lie had a righ( (o demand. He then read several extracts from a |>amphle(,
he held in his hand, pourtinying the abominable riles and monstrous extravagances of the Indian worship, adding a forcible appeal to
the judgmjat, and feelings of the present assembly.. A'ier wjiich h" ceic, l^'l, l<y U'l nnininted nddi^ss particularly callbig upon
the femal(f In the Gallery, to exert themselves to Hie utinosi, 111 so glorious n cnuse. v

The iter. (". /4/ii(orv in the course oi' an intciesting speech, read some extracts from Mr. Weslej's Sermon, " On the ginerel
spread of the Gospel," He gave some account of the exertions which hud lieen made to support the Missionary Society, which hatl
bi-en formcil at Halifax, and related several anecilot"*, w' icli had n teiideiicv to ii..luc" man) |)Prsoiis to lay aside the superfluities of
life, that they might more eflectiially help (ho Inslilulion. He concluded, vtilli observing (hat he hnd frequently remarked, tha( erer
since the repeal^ of the Conveniicle Act, and the inssing of the New Toleration Act, his Majesty's arms had been crowned with success.
Mr. John 7Hoiit/mm read |iart of a leller which he had received fro a voung man, who was eniploye<l by (iovernment, at Berbice,
In leaching a school, and instructing the Nntives, slating (he success which hud a((ended his Missionary labours. Mr. T. rela{e<l an
anecdole of an Indian Chief, or King, who a((ended by four hundred untriors, waifc.l upon one of (he Missionaries i'l Sou(h America,
nnd requested (hnl some (lerioiis migh( be sent Into his C:e,.,ilry lo Inst'Ui I his pen|ile, promising to take great cue of them. The
Chief ill uiKing his request, snid, that he look.il etery day into (A* jckI Imok which had been put inio his haiK.s, and that hewai
deleiminrd lo go nn more (o war unless he was cniiipelle<l.

Several a(her (ieiidemen dellvereil (heir sentiments in very animated sjieeches, • .ch *ol^v satisfaction of a delighted audience,
but our limits will not allow us to insert (hem. The S()eaker» were Dr. Ayre, Rev, ivletsrs. Welburn, Ingham, Furuess, Morley,
Ualler, Booth, and Drake, Mr. U. S|tence, of York, Mr. W. C. Elllsj and Mr. Sissison, of Hull.

Id mavinga vote of Thanks (o (he Chainnan, The Rev. Jamet II ood, delivered a v-v impressive spaech. which he closed with
nbsntlni, "That If not one shilling aridiiinnal wni ob(ained for (he Mission Fund by (h le l'.ii)lic Meeuni>, yet the benefit resulting
frtim tlwm, Would be incaleulable." I'he Meeting was closed by singing and prayer.

In tkf KVeniM, (he Rev. Jjatt Ovktimu, delivered a most excellent Disco ine from John, S Epiitle, 4 to 8 ». when the
Chapel was crowded wIC %lring and attendve hearers. At the saine lime, (he Rev. J^k.i Ifjctim, of Grimsby, ptwched at th»
