$14.1 IL app.- ••• to ma now, that the only way of gettmg eta of t favouritism and the influence of governineet, is by telt, g aw..y tee votes from tha dot Muth There is nu ott.• r way. Without that is done it always must prevail. V. hen this won brought to your notice by the Seen tory of the Atlmirelry, did your grace auth..riee the i-sue of the circuler of the 19th April, 1152, which cancelled Sir Francis Baring's circular of 18149?—Well, I sanctioned it. I was cognisant of it. But did you authorise it ; did you give directions to the secretary to prepare the circular of the 19th April, 18,52 ? I did not. You did net ?—1 did not. I was cognisant of it, but 1 did not give those directions. But hetwe it WAS issued war your grace cognisant 01d?... Before it was issued I was cegnisent of it. I wish to know, did your grace spptom of it ?—No; on • every oceasioa when it was mentioned to me by Mr. Staf • ford in his repnreentations I objected to interfere. I would sot interfere bemuse I had not sufficient expert :trice, but he afterwards represented to me that Mr. Parker's circular bad bee n written by him, ord that it was not a minute of the board, and that he, as secretsry, had the same power as Mr. I'a,ker had. lie said, also, that be would do so on his own responsibility. Did he beteg in before your grace the original circular of Mr. l'arker, t., which be referred ?—No; he did not. When he brought you the circular of the 19th of April, 1111, did your grace affix your signature or initials to it ? lie did net bring it. You did sot thou see the circular which bad been pre pared by Mr. Parker, so as to know whether or w.t Sir Frauds Iltriog's initials were affixed to it ?—I did not. If it had been brought to your grace's notice that the circular of Septemh r, 1819, had affixed to it the initials of the First Lard, should you have considered it necessary to take some farther consideration before allowing that eir euiar to go forth—the circular of Mr. Stafford ?—I can hardly answer what I might have done under the circum. stances. Sir Francis Bartell's name would not make it a legal document without the name of another Lord of the Admiralty. T 1 to Sir Frauds Baring's name being attached only showed that it had the sanction of the First Lord ?—Yes. But this circular, as 1 understand, went forward without the sanction of any lord annexed to it?—Without the sanc tion of any lord annexed to it. Now, on the list of April, a few days after this circular bad been issued, Admiral Parker, in his examination, stated to the committee that he placed in your grace's hands Sir Ball win Walker's letter of resignation ?—I have looked very carefully into that part of Admiral Parker's evidence, and 1 find he is very uncertain about his dates. I may mention at once that, until November, when it was referred to in the House of Commons, I did not know his letter of resignation bail been sent in, or had exiated. Admiral Parker, in his evidence, distinctly states that he took Sir It tldwin Walker's letter, tendering his resignation, to the Admiralty to the Duke of Northumberland on the same day. Has your Grace any recollection of that ? None whatever. I have referred to all the different points in the evidence relating to Sir Baldwin Welker 's resigna tion, awl Capt. Milne 's evidence as to Sir Baldwin Walker • having mentioned that he wrote the letter when Admiral Porker and Captain Milne were is the room, and Captain Milne is asked when it was, and says the 25th or 26th of April. hen you have no recollection of Admiral Parker having either given you the letter or having related to you the pur port of that letter ?—lie never mentioned a word of the letter. lie may have indirectly or indiscriminately have discussed the purport of the letter, though he never men tioned that there was a letter. Do you remember when be dimuseed first the purport of the letter '—On the 26th of April, which was the first day I heard of the order being out, and the minute of the 19th April was brought to my knowledge on Monday, April 26, by Admiral Parker himself making the complaint from Sir Baldwin Walker. Captain Richards has brought to the:notice of the commit tee a private letter written by Captain Pelham to Captain Richards, the superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, in quiring whether any political influences were at work to hold back Appointments for the promotion of men in the mike in Chatham yard; now I wish to ask your grace whether that inquiry was at all instituted by your grace's command ?-11y no means ; I never knew of it. In that letter, Captain Pelham, your private secretary, mato., " My chief is for the best man for the public service, and scorns a job;" and he writes to Captain Richards re specting the appointment of a man to the metal mills at Chatham by Mr. Steifod, the man being reported unfit by Captain Richards; and to this Captain Richards sent • reply on the 24th April. Dues your grace remember whether that reply was brought under your notice?—lt was; the Meet complaint was from Sir Baldwin Walker early in April, and Captain Richards came to me on the 12th or 13th April. Captain Richards, in his letter, says he requested an in terview in order to disabuse your grace's mind upon the question. It would appear, therefore, from his letter, that he asked fur an interview after he had written one letter, which it appears your grace granted. Now at that inter view did Captain Richards bring under your notice the cams relating to Ridgway ?—Yes, he did. lie showed how Ridgway had formerly applied to Sir F. Bering for his intervention ?—Yes, he did. And he entered fully into the cue, and showed that Ridg way had violated the spirit and words of the circular of 1847 ? —Yes. Aud then Captain Richards stated that he was satisfied with the interview with your grace, and that you it:pressed to him your conviction that he was doing his duty be. neatly and honourably ?—Yes, as a matter of course, as an officer, I was perfectly convinced that he was doing his duty, and that he was right in not interfering wild matters of political influence* The words I made use of hi Captain Richards in parting were, " It you ever have any isterferince in your duty, or if you ever have anycompMd to make, come to me, and yowl may rely upon it I will sap pert you." it taco, any accusation was made against Captain Richards that be interfered at all in politics, it would have been a violation of the order, and I understand you to say you quite acquit him of any lia imputation ?-1 had a question about it, no such imputation ever came to me. I only moieties my belief in the character of Captain Richard" but there was a question. la Captain Rickards' reply to Captain I'elham, he " begs and entreats that the ease may be thoroughly sifted." Now when this was brought to your grace's notice at the inter view, did you feel no satisfied, that you considered no in quiry amimary ?—1 knew nothing about the letter. I was nut cognisant of the letter. Captain Richards had bees to me to explain the matter in full, and he said eery millmaily that he as influenced, u he was ordered art 10 Inks any part in politics. Captain Richards impression was that he had rose Me letter to you t—lt might have been, but I was not swam of it. It might have been. Captain Richards in his evidence states that he asked your MOB if he might have permission to read the letter from Mr. Stafford to him ?-11s might have done so, and it is !rely likely he aid. Did you hear from Mr. Stafford any ground for suppos ing Captain Richards to be a political partisan ?At this meanie I don't recollect my question, certainly, with re- Spit to Cartel' Riabards. Now was your grace aware that Sir Frederick Smith bad ap p lied gee the promotion of Ridgway ?—I never heard one weed about Sir Fmderick Smith, or of any election con nected with any one of the dockyards, either directly or in ane*. stith April it appears you saw the Surveyor of the Navy, and you had seen him previously to your representing to the Secretary of the Admiralty the annoyance the sur veyor brit in regard to the issue of the former circular ?—lf I may explain, there is some little indistinetaess in the reeol' tuition of Admiral Parker on that subject. It was on the morning of Monday, 26th April, that Admiral Parker came to me to say the Surveyor of the Navy was very much annoyed and vexed at Mr. Stafford's cancelling the cir cular of 1849, that he considered it was a slur upon his character, and Admiral Parker spoke very warmly end justly on the subject, ae he was an officer who felt anything like a slur, and he also said that it would lower him in this estimation of the superintendenM and officers, and he dill not think that if the slur remained on the yor's chair ter that he would remain in his office I told Milled Parker 1 we. quite confident Mr. Stafford never merit Mg disrespect to the surveyor, and that I would send him We Admiral Parker's room, where I understood the was, to remove any impression from the surveyor's s that such was the case. It was an interview that MUM five or Wx minutes, and it was very ardent on the part of Admiral Parker, and very proper. After the interview on the 26:h of April was a circular submitted to your grace for approbation ?—I sent for Mr. Stafford, and told him all the circumstances—all that Ad miral Parker had told me. 1 said it was considered by the surveyor that this cancelling had cast a stigma oa the sur vey' or, and I am very much afraid he will resign his office and if he did resign his office, 1 said, though you, Mr. Stafford, may treat it lightly, it is a much more serious thing than you seem to think ; for if the sur vc does resign his office, lam not prepared to propose a ISOCOIMOY • . he has done his duty and good service, and I thought th at good service should continue. Upon that, Mr. Stafford went to Admiral Parker's room, where the whole of the circumstances, I believe, took place about the minute that was agreed to. At the end of half an hour they came into my room, Sir Baldwin Walker and Admiral Parker together. SBaldwin Walker explained to me how very much he we. annoyed, and explained to me the matter very muck in the Name words as before, that he felt the circular was a censure on him, and which I of course felt a wish to remove. In a few minutes Mr. Stafford came in with a minute, and mad it to Sir Baldwin Walker and Admiral Parker in my hearing. Sir Baldwin Walker, when it was read, said, "I am perfectly satisfied)" and Mr. Stafford 31:16Weled that it should be read to the board as a minute, and they all went away. It does not quite agree with the evidence already given, but that was the cue. Then you bad read the circular before it was submitted to the board ?—lt had been read in my room to the Sur veyor of the Navy and Admiral Parker, and I was pre sent, and that was the first day that I heard of the cir- ! cuter of the 19th of April having been issued. I did not know when it was issued. I observe that in Captain Milne's evidence it was brought to his notice by the sur- j veyor also, and the surveyor's letter was read in Admiral Parker's room to Admiral l'arker. Captain Milne does nut quite fix on the date. Ile seems to think it was on the 24th, .9 Ih, or of April. 0 Then are the committee to understand that this was the fine time your grace gave your sanction to the circular of the 19th April ?-1. was cognisant of it before it was is sued, and I knew :bat I was responsible for it, but this we. the first time it was brought before me, and thus we knew it. It was a very sate point. I knew it. I fully countenanced it, Admiral Parker fully countenanced it, Captain Milne fully coantenaneed :no r. - true ayr -- : tai it, sad certainly were nspoalible for it from that eery mo- u.ent. how tar t.ie 1.111.-1. .o members act ti.e Ii std wire answerable I don't know. In the circular of April 2fi, 1852, it is stated that the eir eu:.re of February' ;', V 417, will be strictly adherrd to, and th it their lordships deemed it advisable to revert to the sys. Gan then in force of having a:I communications addressed to the Admiralty itt the first instance. As your grace by this step sanctiohed the reversal of a system that had been •sys tem at the Admiralty for some years, may I ask your grace upon what grounds this reversal was based ?—May I ask what the matter is—what we cancelled was reverting to Lord Auc'clsnd's original rrgulation for promotions in the dockyard, which were these :—The master shipwright on a vacancy named three person+, and sent them to the super intendent, who erased one name which he thought the least worthy of promotion. The superintendent then sent these two names to the secretary, who selected one, and that se lection was the whole of the patronage the secretary had in promotions. The circular of 1849 made this alteration. The superintendent sent these two names to the surveyor, and the surveyor selected one name, and so had the pa tronage. The question of patronage was one known to Lord Auckland and his successor. It was reverting to Lord Auckland's regulstion, and my opinion now and then was that Lord Auckland was right. 'Does your grace mean that the surveyor had the absolute choirs of one name, or that when the two names were sent to him he forwarded them to the Admiralty with his remarks ?—I do not think ho was justified by the circular of 11549 in making the selection, but he always did, it was a matter 1 never knew anything of, and of which I was not cognisant. But, on reading attentively the circular of 1849, 1 do not think it justified the surveyor in taking the pa.ronage. The circular of 1819 merely, u I understand, ordered that the correspondence from the superintendents should go through the surveyor before it came to the Admiralty ? So I understand. _ Alter some further questions, and the examination of Commodore Eden and Captain Hamilton, the committee adjourned to ti.is day. PLYMOUTH. The committee in this case met again yesterday morning to resume the inquiry. Mr. Aglionby iu the chair. Serjeant Kinglike said it now became his duty to state to the committee that since the sitting of the commit tee on Saturday, his learned friends with whom he acted in this case and himself had taken into consideration the evi dence adduced before the committee ; and the deter mination to which they had all come was, that they despaired certainly in the result of having a decision of that committee in favour of the sitting member (Mr. Mare). There was no doubt whatever that promises of places had been made to voters in his interest at the last election, and the hon. member was now aware of it, through persons for whose acts he was responsible; but these persons appeared to have laboured under is false impression in making those promises, that there was no distinction in such cases be tween • member seated and a candidate soliciting the suffrages of the voters; in other words, they thought that as soon as a man had promised his vote, they might legally extend to him any patronage they had it in their power to bestow. That that was a mistake no man could doubt, but still it would probably be held as • justification, to some extent, of the conduct of the particular iadividuals who entertained that erroneous notion. He (Mr. &taint Kinglike) therefore, under these circumstances, did not mean to perplex the case by any further opposition on the port of the sitting mem ber, but he was anxious to call the h .nourable gentleman to give the explanation to which he had referred. Before he sat down he wished to state that the course which he and his learned friends were now pursuing Emanated en tirely from themselves; it was • voluntary act, without any semblance whatever of any arrangement between them and the cuuosel on the opposite side. After some cooversation between the committee and counsel on both sides, Mr. Mare was examined. Be denied having made any promise to Koopman, and, in continuation said, with re. gard to King I have no remembrance of him whatever. I do not even recollect his name, and can only dismiss his ease with this general remark, that I always declined to nuke a3y promise to any voter. With regard to (leach, I never made him any promise to procure a situation fur his son in St. Katherine's Dock. The Chairman : Did you ever receive a letter from (leach ? —Mr. Mare: No, I dun't remember that I ever did. Of course, alter the election, I had a number of letters every day from Plymouth ; but it would have been perfectly im possible fur me, with my large business, to attend to open all the letters that I receive. Mr. Churchward, therefore, kindly undertook to open all the letters which came to me ' from Plymouth until I could get a private secretary, and he was in the habit of forwarding to me such letters as requked my personal attention. I never received any letter of (leach from him, and I think if I had I should have been led immediately to inquire what was the pro mile which I was there stated to have made. Mr. Church ward made no communication to me of any such letter. The Chairman.—Do you think that if he had received such a letter, he would have felt it his duty to communicate it to you ?—Mr. Mare : Most certainly ; I think he would. I think be would have asked me what was the promise which I had made. The Chairman.—When did you hear of this letter ?—Mr. Mare : This morning for the first time. The Chairman.—Have you communiaated with Mr. Churchward on the subject I—Mr. Mare : No, I have not had an opportunity of so doing. Mr. Glyn.—Wee Mr. Churchward in your employment at that time ?—Mr. Mare : Certainly not ; he never has been. He simply went down with me .to Plymouth to m ust me in the election. ln answer to a question from the Marquis of Chandos, Mr. Mare said—l do not remember the name of the man Collins. I have nothing to do with the admission of persons into my yard at Blackwell. I never interfere in the filling up of vacancies there. The Chairman—Hu Mr. Churchyard any authority to fill up vacancies there !—Mr. Mare : Certainly not. It he sent a letter of recommendation to the manager it would be attended to just the same as a letter from any other person. ' I may say that instructions were given to employ any man coming from Plymouth, without asking any questions as to his politics, whether they were liberal or conservative. We have employed men from Plymouth long before the elec. Lion indeed, we have men in our employ from every dock yard in the kingdom. Mr. Dunlop—Do you wish to make any statement as to the instructions which you gave toMr. Churchyard?—Mr. Mare—l stover gave Mr. Churcbward any instructions directly. Ile was not instructed to make promises on my behalf ; nor. on the other hand, did I give ham any instruc tions not to make promises. It was through Mr. Baldwin, of the Morning Herald, who is a personal friend of mine, that Mr. Churchyard went wi h me to Plymouth. Mr. Churchward is stab-editor of that paper, and when there was a question as to who should go with me to Plymouth, Mr. Baldwin said, " Why not take Churchyard ?" He was much more fitted to instruct me than I him in election matters. Mr. Mars then retired, but was recalled by Mr. K. James, who said he had a question to put to Mr. Mare. Mr. IL James—l am desired by those who instruct me, to ask Mr. Mare whether he referred the applications which were made to him to Mr. Churchward in all cases ? Mr. Mare—When any parties tusked me a favour, I im mediately said, " I can bear nothing of the kind; it would vitiate my election;" and I referred them to Mr. Church ward. In answer to the chairman, Mr. Mare said—l did not: think that any favour which was asked after the vote had been promised was illegal, and my impression was that mine was one of the purest elec tions which had ever been carried on. If a person had been asked and granted conjointly with the promise of the vote, I certainly should have considered that a bargain. Mr. E. James having declined to crowexamine Mr. Mare any further he withdrew, and the room being cleared, the committee proceeded to deliberate ; but four o'clock arriv ing before their decision could be announced, they ad journed until eleven o'clock this day. CORK (CITY). This committee resumed yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock. Mr. Fitzsimons, cross.examined by Mr. James, deposed that in his opinion the sheriff acted with partiality. Colima Bell commanded the first division of the Royals, and was on duty at the last election. It was his opinion that persons voting for Colonel Chatterton were exposed to great danger, and that the civil authorities did not exhibit sufficient activity. ' Oeneral Manncell stated that he was the commander-in- Chief of the Cork district. On the polling day at the last election he had rescued Capt. White from a meb of people. Colonel Chatterton's voters were in his opinion exposed to considerable danger. At the close of the examination of this witness the com mittee adjourned until this day. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the above society took place yesterday, at the School-house, Borough•road. The • public meeting was fixed for 12 o'clock; but the proceed ings commenced at 10, when a careful examination of the pupils, to the number of 700, took place, and was exceed ingly satisfactory in the evidence it afforded of their general progress. The president of the day was the Right lion. Lord J. Russell, M.P.; and along with him on the plat form were Lord Ebrington, Sir E. N. Buxton, the Bishop of Manchester, Sir John Slauttleworth, Mr. Ilindley, M.P., the Be,. W. F. Close, Francis Itennoch, Esq., &c. &c. Notwithstanding the wetness of the day, the meeting was fully attended. Among the visitors at the morning exami nation was Mn. Beecher Stowe, who was obliged to leave before the general meeting. The proceedings were opened by the Chairman calling on Mr. Dunn, the Secretary, to read the report, which after adverting to the promising condition of elementary 1 education in England, furnished a rapid sketch of the aociety's proceedings during the year. It appeared that " during the past year the Boys' Model School has admitted 812 children, and the girls school 430 children. Twenty seven pupil teachers ate apprenticed by the committee of • council. Important alterations have been made during the year at a cost of 1,0631. 3s. Bd. Towards this 3001. hes ' been granted by the committee of council. In the Normal I College for young men 160 students have been admitted. In the Female Training Establishment 143 young women, • 60 have been examined for certificates of merit, 140 teachers I have been appointed to schools. During the year 54 new schools have been established for 7,000 children, 295 town. r Wm been visited by agexts for school inspection, 97 public meetings have been held, and 24 lectures delivered in dif r ierent parts of the country, 124 grants in money or school I material have been made. Important efforts liars bees THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1853. uh.ile pr..incee oduc..tion in the colonies and in fun ign per a. TLe Asia of school astiterial at reduced prices liJs TLe balmier sheet shows an expenditure of nearly 19,000!., and the society urgently appeals f..r in creased seh•criptions." The Bishcpol MANCHESTER, in moving the printing of the report and the appointment of the committee, expressed hie grey at not having been present at the entire examination of the children that morning, but for the most important part he could answer, that the institution was working as well as ever. (Hear, hear.) He had himself been engaged for 20 years in education, part of the time in co-operation with the lamented Arnold, and could therefore give en opinion of same value iu fasciae both of the verbal accuracy, and religious spirit with which the children had Finn their answers in the holy seriptures. (Hear, hear.) The report was full of most interesting matter. He could heartily re spond to the wish expressed in it by a brother-clergyntan, that every village might contain a British school. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that the parents did not wish to have their children educated ; he feared that that was too true, but the reason was, that the education offered was not practical. (Hear, hear.) That objection, however, was oonspletely obviated by the truly practical system of this osisty. (Hear, hear.) From experience of his own populous diocese he could speak to the value of its operations. Crime was rapidly disappearing there, and Its believed that that result bad been happily accele- Mod by the general adoption of the separate system in poems and the classification of criminals—the latter wee am having gone tar to break up the gangs with which the north had formerly been infested. The Factory Bill had also done much, and the half-timers were rapidly becoming valuable aids to educational progress. He had been happy to hear in the report the approbation expressed of the minutes in council, for he felt that those minutes had been the means of educating hundreds. (Hear, hear.) Turning to another topic, he must say that he disagreed with the Dean of Hereford as to the sufficiency of the self-sustain ing.system. At this moment many of the young men trained in this school had left the schools for other occupa tions, and many were placing themselves in a false position by endeavouring to eater the ministry of the Church of England. This must be met, but it could only be met by making their rewards as teachers permanent and supporting. Such • result could only be attained by a pubic rate, which, in his opinion, would by no means interfere ith the voluntary system. He believed, how ever, that by the adoption of a system which he was about to indicate, the voluntary system might be rendered much more effectual. Look to the parallel ease of the legal relief of the poor ? How much had that system improved the condition of the poor, and yet it had not at all diminished the spontaneous charity which fed the hospitals, the dis pensaries, and the asylums. (Hear, hear.) The right rev. prelate h aving complimented the society on the liberality which gave to all sects a common platform, proceeded to tell a striking anecdote of a wretched boy of 12 years old, who even at that tender age had been eight times in prison. Oa the ninth he was so worked upon by the pious chaplain of the gaol, that he gave every promise of reformation. However, on his discharge, he found that in the interim his mother bad gene to the union, and that he had no home to go to. He struggled with his destiny for two days, but at the end of that time hunger prevailed; he stole bread, and was again scat back to prison. Again he reformed under the chaplain, but one day being found reading his bible on his bed, which ho had unrolled for the purpose, contrary to the regulations of the prison, he was reproved and stopped by the warder. He obeyed at once, but the same warder returning in an hour, found him a wretched suicide, sus pended from the window of his cell. (The recital of this anecdote created a powerful impression on the meeting.) He (the Bishop of Manchester) submitted that this was a state of things which called for the immediate and powerful interference of both the government and the people. (ileac, near.; The right reverend prelate concluded by moving the adoption of the report. iscount EBiLNOTON seconded the resolution, coinciding with the mover as to the necessity of an education rate, especially in the western counties, where wages were low, but by no means coincidently with smallness of families. (Cheers and laughter.) In conclusion, the speaker com plimented the chairman on his introduction of the recent educational measure of the government. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. The Rev. F. CLOSE (Cheltenham) moved the second re solution, declaring the necessity of continued exertion. He congratulated the meeting on the progress of education during the last ten years, which he thought was mainly attributable to the judi cious measures of her Majesty's government. It had all, he believed, been effected by the rapilly extending system of pupil teachers combined with government inspec tion. The taste for christian education was rapidly extend ing, and, he believed, would extend still more, and that the people would all send their children to school. were they sure that body and soul would both be attended to. Any disinclination that at preseat existed was attributable to the badness of the schools, and, he believed, that wherever a good schoolmaster established himself, he would, coule pisi coml., get a school about him, whether he was British and Foreign, denominational, or voluntary. (Hear, hear.) It they wanted a pauper education let it bo free, but if they wanted an elevating education it must be paid for. The people valued only what they paid for, a remarkable proof of which existed in Scotland, where it was quite common to see bare-legged children paying sixpence • week for school. (Rear, hear.) But the fact was that Sandy was a shrewd fellow, and calculated that if he gave his children • good education, they would soon be able to buy shoes and stock ings for themselves. (Cheers and laughter.) For these reasons he did not wish to see the self sustaining system thrown over altogether. He would mention a gratifying fact which had been communicated to him by • Cheltenham magistrate. The writer said that, when four years since he entered the magistracy, Northleeeli jail could not con tain all the criminals, and enlargements were projected, whereas the other day he found on a magisterial visit, that there were not prisoners enough to turn the treadmill that supplied water to the jail. (Loud cheers.) Much of this was of course to be attributed to emigration, and something to the improvement of trade, but his (Mr. Close's) belief was, that after all this striking improvement was mainly attributable to to the spread of education. (Hear, hear.) An empty jail and a full school were things that all well wishers of the country should endeavour for. (Cheers.) Dr. DUFF 'seconded the resolution with an eloquent dis sertation on the spiritual and temporal advantages of • sound scriptural education. The resolution was agreed to. The Rev. F. JOBSON (Wesleyan minister) proposed the third resolution, offering the grateful thanks of the meet ing to her Majesty and Prince Albert, for their continued patronage and munificent support. (Goad cheers.) Mr. WzaraaLar (Moravian minister from Antigua) seconded the resolution, bearing a warm testimony to the advantages which Antigua derived from the fact of its being under British rule. The coloured people there, especially since "Uncle Tom" had come among them—(cheers) — thanked God that they were under British rule, and the little children devoured what they called " The Topsy Book " with tears of grateful appreciation of the advan tages of their own position as compared with that of their bleak brethren in the United States. (Loud cheers.) The rev. gentleman gave a premising account of the schools of the island, but urged the necessity of increased pecuniary assistance. Tee revelation was agreed tn. The Rev. Dr. HOBEY (Baptist minister) moved a vote of thanks to his grace the Duke of Bedford for his liberal sub serlpSions, and to Lord John Russell for his kindness in presiding at the present and former meetings. I Sir JANIS K. 8/lUTTLYWORTIL in brief terms seconded the resolution. The SzcarriatY (Mr. Dunn), in putting the resolution, announced that, in addition to former gifts, the chairman had that morning put down his name for 201. (Loud cheer..) Lord J. EVINELL rose to return thanks. His lordship said—Ladies and gentlemen, I will detain you but for every short time in thanking you for the kindness with which you have received the resolution which has just been proposed to yen. Indeed I have some doubts whether I should be *ad In *staining you at all ; and whether, having occu• pia Ibis chair so often, you would not have been better pkissil to see a new face, and to have some novelty in the aniset of your proceedings. (Loud cheers, and cries of "no, no.") Still I cannot but feel that, having taken a warm interest in the affairs of this society, from its earliest days, and recollecting how loag it is since it was first assisted by mz father, who took a warm interest in the sys tem of education which Joseph Lancaster introduced into this country, I cannot but feel a great gratification in seeing the position in which the question of education now stands. It is Impossible net to see that that which I stated a year ago from this place—namely, that we were hastening to a period when the question would be ripe for a more ex tended application, and for new measures, is now happily becoming realised. (Hear, hear.) And let me add also that the last steps will be much more rapid than the first, because in the first place we had to rely on the energy, zeal, and benevolence of a few persona who took a wiser view of this question than the majority of their country men; but towards the end of the struggle, when education becomes more general, you have other sentime n t s t o a pp ea l to, and those who remain behind, and who happen to have property in the towns and villages which are left without schools, and in remote districts, will be actuated by shame, and will feel themselves open to the reproach that they have taken no part in the education of their fellow countrymen. (Hear.) Some question has been raised today as to the best mode of promoting education. Now, we (the British and Fo reign School Society) have always endeavoured to promote it in connexion with religion. That was from the commence ment our principle, and will, I trust, continue to be so (cheers)—but, at t,ie same time, as many reflections have oeen thrown out against those who promote secular educa tion, I may, perhaps, say , without beirg an a d voca t e of opinions from which I differ, or of a scheme from which I entirely dissent, that in some instances the mode in which religious education has been given, has given some advan tages to the arguments, and some plausibility to the scheme, of those who promote merely secular education. If all those who unite religion with education would consider that the child has body and mind as well as soul, and if all would act according to that theory, there is no doubt but that a union of religious with secular edu cation would be the sole education thought fit to bring up men and women for this Christian community. (Cheers.) But when part of that lesson is forgotten, when the body and the mind are very much neglected, and that which is taught of rclgiun, is so con ducted into the paths of theological difference, and of the oretical opinion which divide christian sects from one another, then, the man who is for secular education steps in and says, " These children are entirely occupied with reli gious differences ' and with niceties which th e y d o no t com prehend, we had better put aside religious points, and Ict education be given at different times and by different per sons." (Rear, hear.) I think, that we who belong to the British and Foreign School Society, have always done beet to avoid that error, and I believe that in the future education of the people of this country it will be much more avoided than has hitherto been the csse. (Hear, hear.) I certainly can never think that in the schemes put forward by those who are in favour of steuka education, the great purpose of education is sutFi. enntly answered. There are those who say that on two drys in the week half a day each, and on Sunday for the whole day, there shall be religious teaching and instruction. They thus, as it were, give up •wo days for that which is religious instruction—in fact, the education of the soul; while they have four days in the week fur that which is se• cular education whir. I sty that that is a u.ost unhappy and a most unwise division, and that neither in respect of time nor subject is it the education which the future people of the future nation of Euglanal ought to six...he. (Loud cheers.) I ray, then, that these questions of secular and re ligious e ucation ought to be mixed together—that instruc tion should be imparted so as to educate at once body. mind, and soul; and when that is accomplished, you may be proud of your work. (Cheers.) With these few senti ments, in accordance I trust with those which have always been adopted and followed in this society, I beg to thank ou for the attention and approbation I have received; and y I trust that this great cause of education will prosper more and more every day. (Loud cheers.) The proceedings then terminated. Raw iintelitunce. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-TESTERDAT. StillNu, 1W BANco.—Baroas CEli► Jcerice J►aTls, Ma. Jthnics CASIFIW&LL, MA. JUSTICI WILLIAIM, AND Ma. JVbTICIC TALFOI3IIII. 0113113 A:•ID ANOTHER.—FLIONT AND ANOTHER. —TiII SELECT VESTRY UT Si. STEPHEN, \VAL/MOON. This case, which has been so many years before the courts. was brought forward again to-day, upon cause being shown against a rule to set aside an order of Mr. Justice Williams, which had been made a rule of eourt,and the execution issued thereon ; and to direct that 1,7351. ss. 52. paid into court by the defendants, under an order of Mr. Justice Platt, should be paid out of court to the defendants, and that the plaintiffs ahould pay the costs. The facts as stated to the court were, that the action in form wa, (rover for a parish book, but the real question involved was, whether there was legally any select vestry of the parish of St. Stephen, Walbrook. The case was tried before the late Chief Justice Tindal, and the verdict was for the plaintiff, subject to a special care for the opinion of the court, and with leave to the parties to turn the matter into a special verdict. The case was argued in this court, and judgment of nonsuit was ordered to be entered. The parties then turned the case into a special verdict for the Court of Error, where it was argued for two days ; but the court had greaediffieulty in coming to a con clusion, in consequence of the form in which the matter came before them, and they directed a venire de novo. It was, however, at the lame time recommended that the parties should go before Mr. Justice Erle, and ask him to settle the verdict. This course was adopted ; and when the parties were before his lordship he suggested a settlement of the dispute on those terms:— that the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas should stand ; that the select vestry should he at an end ; the coats of both parties to be paid out of tho parish funds. It was agreed that this proposition of Mr. Justice Erle should be brought before the meetings of the different parties in terested in the litigation, and the result was that it was acquiesced in both by the plaintiffs and defendants. Sub sequently Mr. Justice Erie embodied these In an order, which was afterwards made a rule of court ; and this order disposed of the principal point in the case. Still, however, disputes again arose, and the result was that the case went down for trial a second time in accordance with the venire de novo directed by the Court of Error. The case accord ingly came on for trial before Mr. JuaticeWilliams,at Guild hall, on the 3rd July, 1850. The learned judge ex pressed his regret that the case should came down again for trial, "as it had in fact been ar ranged, and the only matter in controversy was the construction and meaning of the learned Judge's ar rangement ;" and he suggested that counsel might somehow or other arrange the rule. The consequence was, that an arrangement was agreed to in these terms "In the Com mon Pleas. Gibbs and another v. Flight and another.— By consent of the parties, an order of nisi prius to be drawn up, containing the following terms :—The record to be withdrawn ; the cause and all matters relating to it, by the consent of the parties, to be referred to Mr. Justice Erie, who is to have power to direct in what manner the former rule of the 22nd March, 1848, is to be carried into effect, and from time to time direct and decide what enkeht to be done, *NI in case of any doubts respecting the con struction of his lordship's order, or anything relating thereto, the matter to be referred beck to him brie' genetics ; and amongst the rest the costs of the speei4l jury to be in his lordships' direction. If Mr. Justice Erie declines to accept the above reference, the matter is to be referred to Mr. Justice Williams, who is in every respect to have the same powers." Mr. Ju-tice Erie did decline to act in the matter, and Mr. Justice Williams was therefore applie I to. Ile at once undertook it ; the matter was argued before him, and he made the following order Upon hearing corneal on both sides, and upon reading the affidavits of Michael Gibbs and Thos. Whitaker, and of Thos. Flight and Wm. Fredk. Bock, I do order, direct, and decide, that the defendants do pay to the plaintiffs, at the office of their attorneys, Messrs. Phillips and Sons, 11, Abchurch-lane, on the Ist March, 1833, between the hours of 10 and 4, the sum of 1,7351.55. sd. . • unless in the mean time the said sum be paid to the plaintiffs out of the funds of the parish of St. Stephen, Walbrook. Dated the 10th August, 1852." On the 11th August, copies of this order were served on the defendants and their attorney; on the 2nd November it was made a rule of court ; on the 4th and Gth November this rule of court was served on the plaintiffs and their attorney; on the 4th November the order was registered, and the certificate of registration was served on the defendants and their attorney. In March, 1853, the plaintiffs issued execution for the 1,73,51.55. and gave the defendants notice of it. Mr. Justice Platt stayed this execution upon the money being paid into court ; ant the rule was then obtained which was now brought before the court. Sir Frederick. Thesiger and Mr. Cowling appeared to show cause against the rule being made absolute, and Mr. Bramwell, QC., Mr. Wiles, and Mr. Jones, to support the rule. - Sir F. Thesiger drew the attention of the court to the dates above mentioned, and submitted, upon the authority of reported cases,that the defendants were too late in attempting to upset the order of Mr. Justice Williams, which was made a rule of court so long ago as November last. The defen dants had allowed Michaelmas cud Hilary Terms to pass without objecting to the order, and it was concluded that under the circumstances they could not now do so. Ho un derstood that it was contended on the other side that the nature of the document signed by Mr. Justice Williams was equivocal, and that it was not clear whether it was an order or an award. If it were an order, it was said that the judge had no authority to make it ; and if it were an award, it was said that it was bad in form and inoperative. He submitted that the document was a judge's order; that it was always treated as such ; and that it was perfectly valid. If, however, it were not a good order, still he submitted to the court that the defendants were clearly too late in making this application. Before he sat down he thought it but justice to the learned judge, Mr. Justice Williams, to refer to same observations which had been made in a public meeting, and reported in the Morn ing Herald, as to the motives which actuated his lordship in settling this ease. Mr. Rock, one of the defendants, was the speaker, and he was reported to have said that "instead of the case being tried before a jury, for which the advocate' would perhaps get 301., it was referred to him, by which in private he got 3001." Mr. Bramwell—That means me, and does not apply to his lordship at all ; it applies to the advocate. Mr. Rock tkea rase to address the court. He denied VI at he had made the statement imputed to him ; and he heped that they would not pay any attention to what was reported in Grandmother— The Chief Justice—This is quite irregular. Mr. Justice Cresswell—fray, sir, alt down. Sir F. Thesiger—Am 1 to understand that this gentleman did not say it? Mr. Rock—l did not say it. Sir F. Thesiger—lt is quite sufficient to sey that the words were not directed to Mr. Justice Williams, but to couusel. (Laughter.) Mr. Bramwell—lie (hes not say that. Sir F. Thesiger—l will pass it by, and say no more. Mr. Justice Cresswell thought it not altogether unfor tunate that this should have been published, for it showed what the judges were likely to gain in reputation, if they were ever called on to act as arbitrators. Mr. Bramwell then addressed the court in support of the rule. He complained that the coats had been much in creased, in consequence of the unnecessary length of the documents in the cause. As to what his client was re ported to have said, he submitted that it was clear that it referred, not to the judge, but to the counsel. Mr. Justice Cresswell said there was a good deal of ob scurity in the report ; but whatever might be the meaning of the first part of the passage, the speech was un doubtedly an attack upon the learned judge, for the speaker was reported to say that " lie defied Mr. Justice Williams to carry out his order, far anything so monstrous had never befo:e been heard of. Let him knew that British eyes were upon him; upon the strength of which he (Mr. It.) would repose." The Chief Justice—What trash it is; the publication ought to be sufficient punishment. Mr. Bramwell—My client say that nothing of the kind took place, and it is cot in any other newspaper. Mr. Justice Cresswell-1 dare say that parties who make speeches on occasions of this kind are not so much en gaged the next day as not to read themselves in print. (Laughter.) Mr. Bramwell continued—lle complalued that the other side had refused to allow them to see a copy of the wr.t of execution which had been issued, and under threat of which they had been compelled to pay this 1,735/. into court. The learned counsel then continued, that it the document signed by Mr. Justice Williams were au order, it was clearly an in valid order, for his lordship had no power as a judge to make it. If it were an award, the Were= to his lordshiit did not give him power to make it, and beyond thh., ev:n if he had power to make an award, still the present ens was informal and bad upon the face of it. Another point was, that tho execution was bad, for the order of Mr. Justice Williams was not such an order as execution could be issued on. The Court took time to consider the matter. Decision postponed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YESTERDAY. Bkrou Al it. CUMMIS , IONLU 1 . 111LL1141. IN RE FREDERICK ANNESLEE.

Mr. Commissioner Phillips remarked that he called that a " business." The learned Commissioner asked the in- solvent what he meant by attributing his insolvency to the speculation called " Salle de Velantino." The insolvent said it was a kind of Casino. Mr. Commissio er Phillips—And what is a Casino? I have heard of such a game at cards. i It was stated that n casino pliant a dancing establish. ment. It was kept ut Saville House. The bail were examined and accepted, the learned Com missioner remarking that he was not char whether he was right in accepting bail in the case. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Roche was brought benne the Lord Mayor, in custody of Russell, the detective officer, charged with having offered a stolen Bank Post-bill, for:37/., fur payment at the Bank of England. Russell said the prisoner was on Saturday, at half past 3 o'clock, given into my custody in the Bank, for having presented a Bank Post-bill, which had been stopped, having been stolen that day. Ile said the bill had been given to him to get changed by a person from Messrs. Pigeons, in Throgmorton-street. _Funnell, the officer, anti I then &Z.- cumpinied him to Throgmorion-street, and the priloner went into Messrs. Pigeons' shop, and pointing to a young man, named Thomas Lambert, said that is the man who gave me the note to get changed. Lambert at once denied the truth of the accu.atioa, and waa much surprised. The indorsement on the bill, "Thomas Roche, 3Z .- Lime-street, City," is the prisoner's correct name and address. We then went to the Bank, when Lambert said he knew the prisoner very well intim' four or five years ago, and was in the habit of speaking to him when they met, and I then detained the prisoner. Thomas Lambert, porter to Messrs. Pigeons, wholesale druggists, in Throgmorton-street, said—l know the pri soner by eight. I might have seen him on Saturday as I went in or came out, hut I don't remember it. Ile is a porter who plies in Throgmortou-street. I did not give him the Post-bill, and I knew nothing at all about it till the officers came to the warehouse. We were not in the habit of employing him as a porter, nor did I know where he lived. Mr. S. Smith, of Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, piano forte manufacturer-1 lost the Bank Post-bill produced at about half-past 12 on Saturday lest. I put it into my pocket-book at home, and I put my pocket-book into my right-hand inside coat tail pocket. I took an omnibus in Tottenham-court-road and rode to the Bank. On going into the Bank and taking out my pocket-book I noticed that the fastening of the clasp was loose, which was not tie case before I put it into my peeket. I examined the bock and missed the bill, which I had placed in one of the pockets of it, and I gave information of my loss to the authorities. There was a man in the omnibus wha sat on my right side, and who had on him a Muckintosh cloak and suddenly quitted the omnibus in Newgate-street. I don't know who that man was. Mr. It. Curtis, clerk in the public drawer office of the Bank, said, I received some information about the 13 ink Post-bill, and subsequently the prisoner presented the bill, a eying that ho caste from Messrs. Pigeon and Co., 31, Throgrnorton-street, and that he was a ticket porter. E. Knight (72).—At 20 minutes after three on Saturday I saw the prisoner standing by the private door of Messrs. Pigeons' premises as I was on duty. A woman asked him to mind her basket, which I thought was rather strange, and I waited at the corner of Angel-court, which is very nearly opposite, and I there saw a man respectably dressed I go up to him and give him a paper, which the prisoner took I his glasses from his pocket to rend. They were together about a minute and a half. Tbo prisoner then folded the paper in four and put it in his pocket. It was about the size of the bill produced. I then saw the prisoner go to wards the Bank. The man who gave the prisoner the paper was not at all like thew itness Lambert, but was much tabor and more respectably dressed. In answer to the catraordinaay statements made by the witnesses, the prisoner said—l was waiting at the place. de seeibtel tor a person for whom I was to go on an errand, when a man came up to me hastily from behind, put the bit in my hand, and told me to run off immediately to the Bank and get geld for it, and come bask to Messrs. Pigeons with it. Iron oft' as fast as I couln, aft( r just aivinga glance at him, and presented it to the cashier, who asked me if my name was Smith. I replied in the negative. Ile then asked me whit; my name was. I told him, and I wrote my name and address on the bill. I dal not suspect there was anything wrong, till I was desired to go to Messrs. Pigeons. I went in thinking there might be some mistake, which could be rectified there, and I certainly did say that young man was the person, but how he came to be connected in my mind with the person who employed me to go, I cannot imagine. I rim now firmly convinced that neither he nor anybody else in the premises was the party. I am very sorry for making the charge, and cannot tell how I con founded the two persons together. The Lord Mayor remanded the case till Friday, but said he would accept good bail. MARKETS.
