The CHAIRMAN then read a paper, drawn up by him- I ►elf, on the duty of providing education for the colonies. The Rey. JOHN CLAItKE, of Btown's Town, Ja maies, moved a resolution declaring that the Conference regarded it as a duty incumbent on the friends of educritioa in this country to continue to afford htdp in the British colonies, and particularly those which had been rvatly delirzred from slavery. The Rev. 31r. HENDEILSON, of Jamaica, seconded the resolution. Yesterday, a conference of the friends of voluntary and unsectarian education, in connection with the Veleta airy School Association, was held at Crosby llall, Bishops gate-street ; Mr. 0. W. ALExAm.o.:I, the treasurer, is the chair. The CHAIRMAN, having opened the proceedings, The Rev. J. 11. HINTON read a paper, beaded, " On the religious character of our pallie schools." lie said he had die :led his subject into two parts, treathn in one of the rule Which had Leen followed with regard to education. and in the other ex mining the character and claims of the deviations from that rule. The rule had been to make education religious. The plan generally pursued had no tia 'retied origin ; it spree g out of tile rectums of those who had the management of educistion. Education, when in the hands of the schoolmaster, was the same process es when in the lianas of the punt. Ile ligious culture was one of the most impottent parts of the schoolmaster's duties; and if efforts of this dais were wanting the effect must be most pernicious. The truths ef relogion carried with them a moral force which conal be derived from no other quarter. As regarded the deviations from this rule, he hal especially in view the plans forpevering England `cat:: schools for secular educa tion. The desion of establishing seen schools oririnateil in 1836, and it had recently been revival by the Lancashire Public School :emaciation. The views and objects of that body were to be found in a voliene published in 1850. Ile slid apt with to clinrge the members of that association with designing to exclude religio n. education, believing that met of tea at set a high value on such education. The (inc.:ion was, what was memit by sce'itar eauctision, and aow it was to be given? Ihe National Association had propounded the doctrine in the broadest light. They said " secular education " included eye eythiug which was not theological, or which did not favour the tenets of some religious sect. This attempt at explanation 'bowel the dune, r which attended a definition ; for if the idea were fully curried oat all reli gion would t; i excluded. The weird " secular " wes now being nsed by the association in a avec which it lied never previously booth. The confusion of the exatting deenments was greatly increased by the attempts mule to explain them. Contusion was worse confounded by Mr. Cobden's declaration at Manchester the other day that we were not yet arrived at a period when it ceuld he said what secular education actually was. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) Tha word "seetarieu " as much required definition as any ether which was used in the argument. Pr. Beard con ten-led that the Bible should be excluded beeeese a large ekes of ;arsons regarded it with suspicion, nod because common - education must be supported on a ceramist ground. The plen of the National Association comprised only the existetes of God and the duty of love and revels once tar Ilia. (Cheers.) What right had the association to eeleele atheists from their system? On their own ;retinas each an (illusion was not justifiable. To say of a scheme of education that it wr.s not to be sectarian was to say that it •va. to be Christian. Christians were divided into sects a/I'T on points of discipline and church govern ment. Dr. B aid complained loudly that the system had been melted"goalies a' This was a mistake: it was only deistical ; and he was sure the British public, when they understood it, would shrink from it with unconquerable repugnance. One of the writers of Cie asocietion said it would be et:retitled that the object of education was to prepare mad fur the duties of this life. This was not admitted; it turned part of the battle-field at the outset. The proper object of education wes to educate can es what he really was. (Ileac, hear) The advocate* of .he news_yetem were trying to mace out a cans tar impatient a ;albite tax, and it was to be feared that if the tax were was , : imposed many of the arguments would soon be abeeeloneal. According to Dr. Davidson, eel:gam, 4 decatien more net c meted on by a secular person. Thiel was rank l'usosi-m—(laughter)—and as such he (Mr. Hinton) proterga ramiest it. (Cheers.) He then dissected the details of the Leneashire pain, and prononneal the system impractical:at and inefficient. If religion were excluded, children would naturally be led to enter tain': eibte If its :rah. Thus the education imparted would not nay bo nen-relieiotes, but anti-religious—(hear, hoar) — and childreu would grow up to follow in the steps of the infidel. (Cheers.) The Err. J. IF2ltNETmoved a resolution declaring that in the !shipment fit the confereaee it was indiapensable that the education "item in public schools should be religions,l and that no anon Ameat for religions instruction collateral to a system of st ea:ar education could effectually supply the religious culture reemired. Ni. S. Uhl,diS, of Manchester, seconded the resolution. As a delegate of the voluntary school committee of Man. cheater, forested about tw months ago, ho wished to say that tat ceamittee was a:weeding in accent:ince with the views of this as= elation. The principle whica they held was, that education was a parental duty, as tee entially so as the proviiliug fool and eaelter. (Hear, hear.) lie would braely glawie at the state of parties at Manchester. Man cheater mid been far two months the bat the-tield of two rival associations. Public rueetiiags and s.sir.ert had been held almost clely ' • and the gentlemen on both sides had abused each other almost daily. (Laughter.) He then quote , ' some extract* (roan a pamphlet, in whites one of the asso ciations wet LICDOUXIDeII by a member of the other. It was felt, however, by the committee which he represented, that if some coecessioas were made on both sides, it was not im preiteb!.• that the two contending parties would unite. lie was assured the other day by a member of the National Association, that he saw not the slightest prospect of its success withent the essietince of the voluntaries. It was feared that the scheme of the Salford Association was most likely to :le :opted by parliament, being introduced ureter the auseicesul the privy council =dot Sir J.

Hence it uppears that Lot week toe mew Witty a! young persons wu 11 per cent., of persmui in middle life 26 per cent., and of those of advanced age 31 per cent., abode the average. The increase in the present return above that of the pn:vieu, week. - hai been dented almost eseluaitcly from the aged part of the population. • From an examination of the table of fatal causes it will be perceived that affections of the respiratory organs greatly prepoaderatc on the list. The increase of eases enumerated ela.4 is shown in the nurnbc:.: of the k t live weeks ; viz., 11$, 163, 256, 298, and 333. These :2.33 ..1.-ath+ of last week are distnbuted under particular heads in the following manner: laryngitis 2; bronchitis, 156; pleurisy, 4; pneu monia, _133; asthma, i 30; others of the same class not de signated, S. In the corresponding weeks of the previous three years neither bronchitis nor pneumonia exceeded SS, and the whole class scarcely numbered more than 200, or were about 130 leas than in last wee!, l'hthisis or ennsumption also exhibits an increase, the numbers during the four weeks in November *aarini beta 125, 123, 135, and IGI, and last week the fatal eases of this ' disereu rove to 180. In the tin weeks corresponding to lost, of 1611,10, the deaths by plithisis ranged from O'J to 136, and w hen influenza was epidemic, to 108. Laq week the mortality attzthuted to di- , eases of the rpm& is or epidemic class was nearly of the some amount us in the previous retain, namely, 24a deaths. Small-pox carried off 21 children and 3 adults; measles, 17 children; scarla•ina, 13; hopping-cough, 31 ; croup, 6; thrush, 2; diarrl,,e.a, 26 roses;pe dysentery, 2; cholera, l; influenza, 7 ; pu Tura, 3; ague, 1 ; remittent and infantile fever, 1 • typhu., 61 ; rheumatic fever, 3; puerperal favor, 5 (bele; 4 utht c cases of women dying after childbtrtli); erysipelas, 7 • and syphilis, 1 child and 2 adults. it appears that fever has inteeased to a small extent on the preceding week. Last week the births of 788 boys and 710 girls, in all 1,528 children, were registered. The average of six corre sponding weeks in 1845-30 was 1,371. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean dilly reading of the barometer w,u above 30 in. on every day of the week ; on Monday, when it was higheA, it was 30•15 i . in., on Wednesday 30.150 in., and the average of the week was 30.131 in.

'the mean temperature of the week was 35.8 (leg., or about 3 clegrees below the ave rage. The wind was in the north-west in the earlier part of the week, and changed to south-weld or. the last two days. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1851. BA IL WAYS. TILLS DAY. Two o'CLocc. Though business in shares m not very brisk to day, the market is altogether better, and an advance has taken place in nearly all the leading stocks. Caledonians, Midlands, Great Westerns, Lanca shire aed Yorkshires, Brighton, North Westerns, Midlands, North S!afforcls, South Easterns, and York and North Midlands, are all quoted higher than at the close of business yesterday. The market for French shares is tirm, and Cen trals, Northcrns, and l'aris and Strasbourgs, have been transacted at an advance. .ea to.duy ay to I p.m. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx, There is no particular feature in thCraaritetioithe home funds to-day, beyond a slight increase of firmness, and a fractional improvement, by whichthedifference between the prices at present ruling and those which prevailed prior to the French crisis, is reduced to less than 1 per cent. 'the rise in the French funds is pointed to as indicativo of returning confi dence amongst the monied classes, and as affording grounds for a , sympathetic movement here, bat there are nut wanting persons who refuse to attach the least importance - to the Paris quota tions, liable as they are to perpetual action on the part of the executive. In the proclamations of the l'resident reference has already been made to therise in the Renter-, as a proof of the favour in which the recent proceedings aro held, and it must be owned the support of the market in this view must be' an object of considerable importance with Louis Napo leon. _ _ _ . . The preparations for the settlement of the Consol account which expires to-morrow, arc mainly en gaging the attention of the dealers in the Stock F.xehange to-day, and so soon as these shalt have been completed, the course of prices will La more distinctly shadowed forth. Consols opened this morning at the rally of established yesterday afternoon, and have since improved another eighth, the present quotation being 971 to 1; for money and to-morrow, and 98 for the 10th January. Thu rate of " continuation" rules at 1 to 3-16, and the tendency of spe;Adation appears to have been "bullish." The government broker continues to invest in Reduced Threes.

The price of Mexican is sup porttd, notwithstanding the unfavourable tenor of the advice,, received by the committee and those in the journals. 'lnc probable delay in the payment of the next dividend referred to in the communication given below has been anticipated by m'ny per sons, whilst by others the whole conduct of the Mexican government is regarded with increasing dissatisftctiou and distrust.

In continuation of our record of the movement of specie, wo have to chronicle the shipment of 133,9001. by the Brazil steamer yesterday. Tho failure of Messrs. Edward Fyffe and Sows, en gaged in the East and \l'c-it India trade, was an nounced yesterdly afternoon, but it is not expected that their liabilities will prove very considerable. We have received the following The committee of dlcxictu, bondholders have received ad- v , :IT& ber, at which date the English letters by the October pactet had not yet been reenved there. Mr. Falcennet had, on the 10th of October, had an interview with the President oa the subject of the January dividend, and the cabinet had in consequence resolved to ask the legislature for permission to provide for it by the sale of cotton li censes. If the le ttqature should assent to this, the govern. tnent would have'a chance of raidng the money by way of loan. Mr. du k.:•:parsa charged ad int:riat with the depart ment of finance, nal of whoie conduct Mr.Falcounet speaks in very high terms, had matured him that great i.iforts would be made tor the payment of the January dividend, and at the same time esvressed the hope and the request ti, it sume indulgence and patience may be shown by the bond holders, should the payment of it be somewhat delayed. Altogether Mr. Falconnet expresses great confidence in the present cabinet of the President. Mr. Eseandun had paid the instalment of 75,000 dub., due on the let ult., on ac count of the cotton licenses, somewhat in advance, in order to enable Mr. Falcunnet to 'send them by the present packet. At Vera Crux the circulation and export duties had been levied upon this amount,whieh has reducedthc amount sent to 70,181 dohs . 93 c.. but Mr. Faleounet had succeeded in obtaining a promise from the government that those duties should be returned, and that no duty should bo levied on the export of any future instalments from Mr. Escandon and Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh. 3ha cabinet had also taken into further con sideration the claim of the bondholders to intern: ou at least one-half of the money assicnt I to them out of the American indemnity. It did nut appear probable that M. Olarte would proceed farther in the matter of the claim which he has set up against the bondholders, at least not is law. Matamoros still held out against the insurgents on the 23th Oct. last. General Avalos had, to conciliate them, abolished prohibitions, and reduced the import duties 34 per cent. at that port. Besides the 70,481 dollars 93 cents above referred to, which come to the committee on account of the arrears, the packet brings toward; the payment of the dividends to Colonel Facie 42,000 dollars from Vera Cruz, but notbiag from Tampico, as the greater part of spode fur shipment at that port was left behind. We have also received a communication from Col. Facio, in which ho states that the amount received by the I)ee on account of the Mexican dividends is 42,000 dots. front Vera Cruz, besides 76,186 doll. to the order of Baron Goldsmid. The business transacted ycsteeday in the market for foreign exchanges was rather limited. Short Paris was dor.e at a decline, and closed 25.12 1 to 17 1 ..; ditto, 3 months, 23.35 to 40. Amsterdain was in great demand, and left off 11.173 to 18. Hamburg was also in Lie request, at 13.10 tot. Frankfort wet a shade lower, viz., 120} to i. The exchanges en Italy were extremely dull, us were also bills on Spain and PortugaL For Vienna and Trieste there was sone demand at 13.13, but only a few negotia tions could be effected, tho merchants not being anxious to draw at so unfavourable a rate.

ARIGNA (IR191t) IRON COMVANY.—Yeaterday the Master in Chancery Senior, to Allunn it was referred to inquire and ascertain whether it wasexpedient or necessary that this company should be wound up under the act of parliament, decided, at a meeting of the parties interested, that it was : and, should not the decision Le appealed against, an official manager will be appointed fur tho pun pose. The company was started in It3B, for the purpose of working the Anglia Iron Mines, in the county of Antrim ; and between that period and a short time back, when it ceased to carry on business, about 300,000!., derived front calls and deposits, bad been expended. There was now about I,oooi. owing for debts, and a suns of 10,000 !. belong ing to the company invested under its act of parliament, ! and which could not be divided among the shaeolielders without bringing the company under tho winding-up pro cess. Mr. Cater, one of the directors of the company, ap peared as counsel in support of the petition to wind up; and Mr. W. li. James, of Basingitall-street, for Mr. Parker and others, against it, on the ge end that there were legal difficulties iu the way of a divisEm of the money. Tho mines were originally sold to the company fur wor'aing pur poses at 2,0001.

SOCTII WALES RAILWAY.—The: Aberdare and Merthyr tunnel on the Vale of Neath Railway is rapidly progressing under the superintendence of Mr. Ripon. A large number of men are constantly employed, and, no the ground has proved more favourable than was at first anti cipated, it is expected that it will be compLted sooner than was at first looked for. The masonry is of the most sub stintial description. The present inconvenient and uncer tain mode of conveyance by omnibus from the South Wales line to the station of the Taff Vale Railway will, it is ex pected, be obvi-ated by the removal of the latter to the sta tion of the first-named line, which arrangement would prove a great convenience to passvugers. A junction would be made from the Taff Vale line, passin g up to the South Wales station, and closely adjacent to which, it is said, the principal station of the Taff Vale will be erected. It is ru moured that • parliamentary contest is likely to ensue be tween the Taff Vale and the Vale of Neath, respecting which of them companies shall form a branch line into the ewmdare Valley.

The gale commenced Irons the south-eastward, and blew in tremendous gusts for 12 hours, extending along the whole of the coast from Madras to the mouth of the Roughly. At the latter place several light ships were driven on shore, as also the Precursor steamer, although riding with two heavy anchors. A French and one or two hnglish ships of some sire were driven from their anchors, and but little hope was enter tained for their safety. The coast in that portion of the bay was literally ...rowed with the wreck of the chips and aftedendr lulling for m u lial o f half an w hour, hom ve e redwe re E round tirpe N 3 ll . equal The lotto to the north-west, and continued to blow for several hours. The l'recursor, being on a mud bank, was got off with the loss of her rudder. lier passengcrsand crew were eventually put on board the Erin, in which vessel they came on to Sues. From the perfect calm which prevailed, there can bo little doubt that the centre of the cycloid passed over the head of the bay. 141 IS 191
