A few weeks since several Yeung Men •f this town formed theraseH’es into a $.»ciety. under the name of “The Young Men's Bible Society of Alexandria.” A desire to assist in dispensing the light of divine truth prompted to this measure, together with a conviction that in this united capacity, their exertions would be more efficacious than in any other; and j more satisfactory to themselves. Their •bject in common with all Bible Societies u to supply with the word of life, the des- j titute among themselves, and to send it to those who are perishing for lack of knowl edge. Although this Society commenced ia the midst of discouraging circumstan aes—Yet, its prospects have gradually brightened, and the number of subscri bers has increased to upwards of forty, j The managers cordially invite theircoe.- I als and all others favorably disposed to unite with them in the work ot benevo lence. All donations, however 'mall, will be thankfully received, and faithfully ap plied to the object mentioned. It septus hardly necessary to present any consideration to secure the friendship of the public, to an institution like this. Once the .'or.nition of Bibie Societies at tracted genera! attention, now they excite but little, unless circumstances of uncom mon interest are developed in their oper etions. They are now renamed not as intruders, but as -a tiling of course iu ave xv well regulated Society. Once they had to contend with much opposition. A host of adversaries strove to L»*iile their exertions, aud even threat ened their existence. The cause of truth a id virtue however, has so far triumphed that open opposition has been silrnced aud humbled; sa that now, none are found iu the ruuka of opposition to Bible Socie ties, but such as are enlisted against the tyuthofGod. I To defend the utility of Bible Societies Wo arc not now called. It is too late for this. The question his long since been a*tiled. Both reason and experience have sealed their utility. None can lock over their history, without discovei ing a of evidence to attest this truth, auf tcient to put incredulity to -he blush. And if it he true that the Sacred vcl- 1 urno is the foundation of all morality, the 1 sategnard of virtue, the sure friend ot t 9 . j peace, of refinement and happiness in civ- j il society, who would not wish that ht ( light might be diffused among all nations : —that it might ahii.e with tenfold lustre i In our own; and soon irradh.te heathen tends. Aud that this i» the ca»e does not history proclaim: look hack upon those ( count.tea and societies, where it has dwelt. Wnerever it has been per mitted to exert its iuiluence unshackled by the i devices of men, it* iuiluence has been sal- ' ■ tary. Literature and science ha\e iiour. islied, pore virtue and prosperity ha\e prevailed; it has shed down upon man everv thing which can digni v uni adorn 2us nature, or promote aud establish ms oomfort. 13at to consider the DiMc as connected •nly with the present life, would be Going h great injustice. That u is tne chief source ot liti ,iau happiness, ought it s true, to secure it t ie tri.ndsiup ol every man; bu. tins m una of its accidents, not its itiliei end. It eo.n:ucnd* itself to our attention bv cons.derations of far higher moment; by its connection with our fu ture intereso, and by the provision which it offers to secure them. Its grand object is co un.o.vl just views of God, of me char acter and destination of man,and the plan «f redemption; tnat wonrlc ful expedient Ot divine love, which is t • admiration of Angels. *nG the only hope and refuge of a e<.iitjr world. Here life an 1 immortality j are brought to light; here the way ol es- ' cape from death, and of restoration to the favor oi God is made known; and here a firm toundaTn»n is presented to man enve * eped in darkness, and overwhelmed with doub:s. and working in despair, upon evhich to build his hope. The Uibie is then not only the friend and safeguard of ♦•ere thing near to man in this wor.d, ^stia Use werii v# earn*. T*ae away , >. tkis, and you undevaiine the pill .rs upon which the iabnc of civil Society is reareu —You leave the moral woild in darKiiess, and betray the dearest interests ot man. Who can repress the wish that its ligh» might be as extensive as the light ot the •uni Who w ould not rejoice to be instru mental in depositing this precious trea» ure in the bosom of every de*titute fami* iy I And let none eav that to effect thi», more Bible Societies are unnecessary. Hie number of destitu e, exceeds all be lief, and almost all calculation. Even in those parts of our own country, where the ministrations of the gospel are cjoyed, investigation has discovered that the number of families without the sacred volume, far surmounts ell previous suspi cion. To supply such with the bread ot life, together with those multitudes who people the region and shadow of spiritual death, what exertions are necessary? Be foie this can be accomplished generations must sink down to the grave; unless there be a great increase both in the number of those engaged, and in the zeal and energy which they bring to the work. Iso dan gcr therefore can be apprehended from the formation ef new Societies to help •or ward this mighty object. Too muc h can. not be done until the work be finished And long ere this, our eyes will he closed in death; even should male and female, youth and age, enlist with becoming zeal in this hallowed employment. Great danger however, is to be apprehended from anethei quarter, the slothfulness and inactivity of Societies already tunned. For such is the natural iudolence of men where self interest does not stimulate, and so numerous their secular avocations, that they are prone to become weary in welldoing. But consider the nature and tendency of that employment -which her* claims tour attention: it is the work of benevolence; one productive of the puiest pleasure, and one which will be crowned with an honor far eclipsing that of kings and heroes, in that day when ail human works will be seen in the light of eternity and weighed in the balances of the Sane* tuary, VEGETABLE PRODUCTION.

It appear* by 'he account, that all wa» done in the case that coo'd have been done; and the con nections of the unfortunate individuals who were lot-t on board, have now the satisfaction of baing assured, that their friends were not left to experience the most di* reusing of all calamities —that of perishing of hunger in such a dreadful i situation.
