They consist mostly, however, of particulars of marches in search, as said to l e, di o ffie f the e nemy, although Pees has not generally been adifficult to be found. According to the last despatch of the series he was at length, however, found by General Munoz, one of the officers of Menages, and vanquished too, which must be a novel incident in his career for the hitherto unconquered A4ro of the Apure. The engagement is stated to have taken place at Camber°, near the river Aramm, silty leagues from the small town of San Fernando.

Th y e society was stated to be prog ressin g mot satisfactor manner. INQUEST, YESTERDAT.—IMPURE ATSIOSPIIERE.-- No DMAlNAoll.—Before Mr. W. Baker, at the Sebright Arms, B e thnal-green, on view of the body of George Swiuby Sanders. The deceased lived at No. 37, Gloucester-street, Ilackney-road. He was consi lered a very healthy man until about a fortnight since, when he complained of extreme thirst, and he was afterwards found to be suffering from fever of a very malignant character. He continued to get worse, and expired suddenly on Monday last. Mr. Gavin, a surgeon, made a post marten' examination of the body, and attributed death to typhus fever, which was caused by his frequent exposure to the foul air of a cesspool outside the house, which had not been emptied for nine years. The drainage in the neighbourhood was also very insufficient, and numerous deaths had been caused by the impure air. Mr. Gavin stated that part of the district was in a very dangerous state, and the nuisances which existed ought to be immediately removed. Forty-nine deaths had occurred in the whole district since the 15th of March last, and out of the 19 deaths, 18 deaths had occurred in this par ticular portion of the district, which consisted of only 1,500 inhabitants. In several of the streets and alleys near Glou cester-street the cesspools were in a most filthy state, and in some cases the walls were render. d so damp that they were with difi.culty dried, even with the aid of a good fire. The jury expressed their surprise how families could live in such houses, and desired the coroner to write to the board of guardians to direct their attention to the neighbourhood, and devi-e some means to remove the nuisance. They re turned a verdict "That the deceased died Irons the effects of noxious vapours, and the insufficient drainage of the neigh bourhood." IRELAND. Dumas, Aran, 27.

In his discourse he fell foul of the " Irish ambassadors," which drew forth Mr. Stretch, chairman at the soirée, who illustrates the myth of Mahomet's coffin, in his relation with the two " halls." The presentation of the civic address, by the Lord Mayor and muuicipals, in their own proper persons, to the l'rovisional Government, was again discussed, and notwithstanding the opinion of counsel that the Lord Mayor might go without incurring the risks of the Crown and Government Security Act, the feeling of the body was in favour of " letting the matter drop"—the safest and most sensible conclusion at which their deliberations could arrive. The ltev. Thresham Gregg, after a long silence, has again taken up the old ground. About 2,000 "protestant operatives" answered his summons, and the Kentish lire blazed with unusual fervour when Mr. Gregg denounced repeal as disastrous to liberty and religion. Some protestants of the anti-union party attempted a diversion, but their efforts to ob tain a hearing were extinguished in a tremendous uproar, amid which cudgels were used, and the ob noxious unite favourable to repeal were driven into the streets. The meeting closed with an address to the Earl of Clarendon, tendering their services to his excellency as an " organised and armed force." An execution has been laid in the Castlebar work house, at the suit of a provision dealer, for a sum of 070/. There are no funds of course in hand, and the collection of a rate is fast sinking into an impossibi lity, while tie roar of pauperism swells louder and louder each day. The vice-guardians have appealed to the commissioners, but the reply was—" collect the rate!" Mr. Tidd Pratt, the arbitrator under the Savings Bank Act, gives very general satisfaction in Kerry, where he is at present investigating the accounts of the Tralee branch. Hence he proceeds to Killarney, where a wide field of fraud awaits his inspection. Few counties in Ireland have suffered more than Kerry during the past two years. Sixty thousand pounds are to be added to its other losses. The saving and industrious will not recover the shock for many years. The north is active in the cause of public order. The Belfast papers of yesterday contain accour.ts of numerous meetings in various parts of Ulster to up hold the government. The most important and in fluential was held at Ballymena, over which Lord O'Neil presided. The first county in insurrection during '9B was Wexford—it was also the last to retire from the struggle. " model" county now presents a very different appearance from the days of Scullabogue and Vinegar-hill. Lord Carew, the lord-lieutenant of the county, published a quasi proclamation, setting forth the singular quiet that pervades every portion of the county. He has communicated with all sorts of men, and the same narrative has been furnished by all. Wexford had suffered from the pike before, and rejects it now. The following is Lord Carew's letter : To roc lonelier...errs or rim COVNTT or Wrgroan.-1117 Primal a, — In these ominous times I have felt it my duty to investigate closely both by letter and personally, the Mate of public Mein r in the county of Wexford, and to examine the varioua report. as to its th prom. lam h a ppy that I am able to give my public teatimogy to e peace ot the county, and to thank y the reepected middle el:two in the tiller. and country, for your self-respect toyour own cheracter, and for your discountenancing everything tending to • breach of the peace.

At a meeting of the G rand Canal Company, yester day, to consider the terms of the consolidation of the stock and loan of the company, it was finally resolved that the consolidation should take place on the follow ing terms :—The lteduced Six per Cent. I)ebentures, for 1)21., to be registered as stock at 90/. ; the Reduced Fives at 75/. ; the Fours at 601. ; and that the present stock share of 1001. should be registered in the pre sent consolidated stock at 90/. The total amount of stock under the new arrangement is about 672,000!. The Banshee left Kingstown this morning, having on board Admiral Dundee, a lord of the Admiralty, and Mr. Ward, secretary. She steamed southward to Cork. The steam vessel Dragon, lies anchored at the North Wall, and attracts much attention. A brigade of twenty young men were to appear this day before the magistrates of petty sessions at Youghal, charged with " illegally assembling on the 9th of April to practise the use of arms contrary to law." 'the following is from the Dublin Evening Pest of this afternoon : The extensive property of the Duke of Buckingham in Ireland, comprising several thousands of acres—the sale of which has been committed to the judicious management of Messrs. Williams and Co., of Stafford. street, in this city— was yesterday opened by public auction, at the Chamber of Commerce, in Dame-street. The Buckinahata and Chandos :states, in the county of Clore, were the first submitted to salc, in six different lots; and, after several unsuccessful attempts on the part of the auctioneer to attract a purchaser, the sale was withdrawn. After which the entire of those six divisions were satisfactorily disposed of to one purchaser, at a fair rate of purchase. This day, tine estates in the Queen's Couuty were submitted to sale ; and, from the hour appointed for competi tion by Na Williams, the spacious apartments in which the sale was conducted was crowded with spirited compe titors. From this circumstance it would appear, that the sound at heart have no apprehensions about the peace of the country, and the security of property in Ireland. The example of the enterprising capitalist who yesterday swept the board, has been this day followed by a great number of persons, by whom a spirited competition has been carried ay on. e Sveral lots of the ueen's Count estates were this d disposed of, at prices varying from twenty to twenty-five year's purchase.

ELECTORAL REFORM: LETTER FROM SIR JOSHUA WA LMSLEY TO THE INHABITANTS OF LEICESTER. GENTLfiNthN,—I rejoice to nee the prompt and decisive response which Leicester has made to the appeal for the formation ot a truly national party. At no period since the passing of the Reform Bill has the necessity of political combination for securing a large extension of civil rig he hts been so urgent, or of such mo mentous importance, a. at t present crisis. Widely-spread and long-continued d cram thecomer. cial distress has s t ra itened the resources, anpot energit a of the middle class; while a dearth of employment has brought the working man with rapid steps in the pre sence of sharp misery and bitter privation. At this moment when an imperious necessity is enforcing the hard lesson ot cutting down almost indispensable wants within the limits of a narrow and decreasing . income, it is scarcely s urprising that tke conduct of the go become vernment a nd the working of the eystem, d the subject of earnest discussion and searching inquiry. On all hands it is admitted that the influence ot the, aristocracy in the lower h ouse is unconstitutionally great,' and that no hope can be rationally entertained of effrcting any reform which will benefit the people until they are fully and fairly represented. To enlarge the suffrage, therefore, appears to me to be the basis upon which all future measures of poitical amelio ation must rest. For this purpose I would give the right to vote to every mate adult occupant of a separate tenement, of whatever rent, including within this definition lodgers; the only restriction I would impose would be the test of twelve months' occupancy. This extension sf the franchise would at once raise the constituency from under one to upwards of three miLions. To secure the independence of the voter r would add the shelter of the ballot, and to increase tke responsibility of the representative I would shorten the dura tion of parliaments to three years. I labour under a deep, conviction that if these reforms were granted all that the people require must inevitably follow. The reduction of the expenditure by many millions annually, the annihilation of class privileges, the equalisation of taxation, and the applies. tion of state property to strictly state purposes would be the results of a House of Commons becoming the faithful reflex of the popular mind. It is because I believe that a large measure of reform will alone satisfy the just demands of the people, give lasting. security to the crown, and in creased stability to the institutions of the country, that 1 view the steps now taking to bring the two great bodies of the peo ple into active co operation with the most lively feelings of satisfaction. The hands of the advocates of popular rights within the walls of the House of Commons are greatly strengthened when the manses out of doors are combined in legal, peaceful, but determined agitation for the redrew of grievances. No moment can be more favourable than the present, and my faith in f or ho yof purpose and inflexible sense of right which form political rules of conduct to the great body ot my fellow.countrymen, leads me to hope and believe, that neither the coercion of power, nor the blaatlishments of rank, will cause them to falter in the great effort they arc now making to wreist from an unwilling aristocracy the rights so long unjustly withheld from the patient, peaceful, and suffering millions.—l remain, &c., Joan tA WALNII4I.II(. —lOO, W es tbourne-terrace, Hyde Park, April 27, 18.18. THE REFORM MOVEMENT IMPORTANT MEETING AT MANCIIESTER. Manchester (says war correspondent) is quietly gathering up its energies, to throw them into the struggle for a new parliamentary reform, having for its object a large re duction of the national expenditure. The meeting in Man chester, on Monday, to establish an association in the Colle giate Ward for this purpose, has been fidlowed by a meeting on Thursday night, in the Exchange Ward, one of the moat central read wealthy districts of the city, at was which a ni secon sed; i a ssociation, for a eimiler purpose, orga an d other wards are beginning to more. It is probable that when tho opinions of the burgesses have thus been tested, a grand aggregate g, will be held in the Free-trade-hall, to which some of the chief parliamentary Loden of the movement will be invited. The mode of establishing associations and then forming them into a league was that adopted by the anti corn-law leaden, and was found to work well by bringing to bear a greater amount of individual energy upon the movement than could have been otherwise expected. The most important meeting we have had here, however, this week, was a private meeting held also on Thursday night, of all the leading members of the late league council and of the ohi Manchester reform party. This meeting was held at the room lc Newhall's-buildings, formerly , the council room of the free-trade party, and is said to have been called in conse quence of the numerous inquiries made—in fact, the almost shoals of letters sent from the quarters to which the tree trade organisation extended—as to whether the principals in that movement intended to leave the country to its fate in respect to the electoral movement now commencing in other places, or to join in it. The meeting was called together more as a private conference than for general business purposes, a nd being strictly pri v a te, no reporters were admitted. Our correspondent, however, has been enabled to elicit the following particulars : Amongst the gentlemen present, were: Mr. Cobden, M.P. Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P., Mr. J. Kershaw, M.P., Mr. J. Brooks, Mr. W. Bickhem, Mr. S. Lees, Mr T. Bright, Mr. Woolley, Mr. .1. Simpson, Mr, Prentice, Mr. hie Mackie , Mr. J. Hampson Mr. \V. Morris, and Mr. P. Savil le,—men who were in fact,' the very soul of the late free trade movement, as they have been of almost every liberal movement in Manchester for many years. The meeting was a very large and crowded one. Mr. O.Wilson was also present, and being unanimously called to the chair, said they had been urged to summon together the gentlemen present, for that conference, by a nu rym rof communi cations from all parts of e count, be f ro m people anxious to obtain their opithnion on the present movement for reform, and as to their dialosition to join in that movement. lie represented to the meeting the great responsibility of joining in such a movement; and said nothing could justify it but the strongest and most extensive expressions of opinion in its favour. Those opinions should b epe licited, elicited, to be worth anything not in a mere general assent to resolutions, but by a direct appeal b to every person who was to oin in it, and he commenced y calling upon every gentleman in that room to express his individual sentiments. The result was an exceedingly long conference, in the course of which every gentleman in the assembly declared himself favourable to household suffrage, vote by ball, triennial parliaments, and equal electoral districts. In the course of these proceedings Mr. Cobden is under stood to have said he wa s aware a great many people w anxous for a reduction of taxation and for retrenchment, and he was one of them. There were those who had ex pressed a fear that this movement would defeat or delay i rather than forward that object, and he confessed that if he , thought that would be the case, in tact if he thought it I in it, wo uld not forward the obje ct, he would have no part because be believed that in a few y iear s' tab le. time a Mr. ve Cry obden large I reduction in our expenditure was nevi is said to have spoken with great energy, and to have awakened deep interest by his address. Mr. Bright also ce pressed his sentimenu in favour of a very large enfranchise ment of the people being absolutely necessary. A circular wee ultimately agreed upon to be issued to all the principal supporters of the late free-trade movement \ throughout the kingdom ' • and it is intended, in the course of t ime, when answers shall have been received , a n o ther meet- 1 ing shall be held to further consider the mattr. It appears evident that the parties who have got up conference are determined to make no false step, and will not move unless they are likely to have such an amount of support LS will ensure a successful result. The circular is in the following words :- 5, Newall's-bniklings, Manchester, April 27, 1548.—Dear Sir,—A number of gentlemen hare met here to-day, to consider what steps should be taken to proinote a cordial union of all classes of reformers re:vr of .rahneyt.raantWinncrienosoi"ngsypsutlTe expenditurePlenalf.",PZ: ing taxation are onus of the deepest anxiety, and they don A the slity of way permanent remedy being applied whilst file tax payers are fo'. the most part excluded from direct influence in Faille ment.

The first was that of two young men, the sons of a tenant-farmer, who were seen on their father's ground with guns in their possession, by a single game-keeper, and convicted, on his naked presumptive evidence that they were in search of game, although, for aught this omniscient functionary knew, they might have been on the out look for rabbits. The second was that of a tenant who had set a trap for rats, but the instrument (a borrowed one) being large enough to hold a pheasant, one of those interdicted bipeds found its way into the snare, and the farmer was caught by a . gamekeeper ' with the bird in one hand and the trap in the other. In the radical court both parties were found guilty, and fined, and the superior judicatory confirmed both sentences. The parish schoolmasters have lost no time in ring ing the alarum about Lord Campbell's marriage and registration bills. The presbytery of Edinburgh has appointed a day for a special meeting, to receive a re port concerning them. The "heather is also on fire" in Hose and Cromarty—the synod of that district having named a committee to watch over, in other words, to destroy them. From Nlaidenkirk to John o Groat's, there will be a cry against the measures. The organisation of the schoolmasters is complete, and they know how to agitate. To the clergy they will say the church is in danger, and the beacon-light will forthwith gleam from every kirk-session, presbytery and synod, while the general assembly will blaze like " Allow ay's hunted kirk" on the night Tam o' Shouter saw the witches. To the county meetings, " democracy," "innovation," " change," will be the spells to raise the demon of opposition in the bosoms of the gentlemen of the olden time, and finally to parochial boards and bodies civic, the question of coat will be urged, and that with fatal success. To all those opposing ele ments, what have Lord Campbell and Mr. Ruther furd to offer? A few cold remarks in the ministerial journals, and a few colder speeches in some of the town-councils, will be all the support out of doors but it is possible that within the house the bills may have the good fortune to be judged of by their merits. Should this disposition notappear probable,there is no thing for it but compromise with the schoolmasters. The Glasgow meeting, to consider the Lord Ads%) cate's Entail Bill,' resulted in a series of spirited - - resolutions: 1. That the system of en tails, which has increased with the moot rapid progress., and must necessarily soon absorb almost the whole surface of :outland, boo been attended by the most pernicious edicts, not only to the public interest, but aLso to the heirs of entail them selves their connexion s and dependehts, and that this meeting en tirely 'di sa pprove of any bill being passed not bused upon the en tire abolition of tne whole system, including the extinctionnot uf the p pam the resent, and the illegality of tuture ennui.; prays parliament to bill introduced by Lord Advocate ot Scotland, ihtituled " A Bill for the Amendment the of the Law ot Entail in Scotland," and which, aiming at certain partial palliation. art the existing system, • ould, in the opinion of this meeting, perpetuate the same nil under a slightly modified tons, and that • petition to both houses of parliament be signed by the chairman of this sleeting ,theordinaly. 2. That in particular, oniaideting the Lord Advocate's bill la a pro modification merely of the einem, tbis meeting, without fessed abating its objecuon to that system, in tot. disapproves of the bill more especially became it allows to remain untouched the protection of property an use to from the lawful debts of the pro prietors—and because it. not only leaves the extinction of the entail of stem to a progress in itselt slow and uncertain at the best, and de pendent entirely on the option of life.reaters, with co nsent of cer tain of the neat heirs t 2 entail to theentall thsir e staters or not as they think fit, but alto continues to all proprietors the power of creating new entails to an indefinite extent. 3. That these resolutions be printed, and copies sent to the con vener, of every county in Scotland, with a requeot that the same be laid before the April meetings on the 30th iniltant, and that they be also sent to the provosts of the Scotch Wins with a request that they shall he laid before the respecuve town 0011w:its, and that these several bodies he requested to pct: ion parliament against the bill, and that copies be alto torwarded to each of the Scotch memberx 4.

THE ARCIIIIIaIIOP OF CANTERBURY ON CONCERTS roe THE PEOrt.E.—At the artisans' weiree held last week in the Concert-ball, Liverpool, Mr. Rathbone, in the course of a humorous speech, said: " I may now tell you a story which I bane had some years by me, and which is somewhat connected with the Archb:shop of Canterbury a hen he was Bishop of Cheater. I have consulted some gentlemen, who think that, now he is removed from this diocese, delicacy need no longer exist. 1 happi ned to be sitting beside hint one day. It was at a military party. He was a clergyman l , a Quaker ; and, as we did not like talking about war and bloodshed—it was not in our way—we got on to tette the Saturday evening concerts. I took the opportunity of telling him how respectably they were conducted—how do e- li g htful it was to see young people of both sexes coming t gether, not exhibiting the slightest impropriety when there. And his reply was, Mr. Itathbone, these concerts, I be lieve, are doing a great deal of good, and I hope the gentle men of Liverpool will not only encourage the Saturday nights' concerts in your hall, but that they will spread over the whole town.' When we have it from royalty, from our nobility, and from our now highest dignitary in the church of Englan ~ I think that we may hold up our heads, not with improper pride, but with that self-respect which makes men respect others, and respect themselves."

Thursday last being the day appointed by his lordship to receive the address, a deputation from the corporation proceeded at one o'clock to Christ College Lodge, where they were received by his lordship. Mr. Ala. Brown said, in the absence of the mayor he had the great pleasure of forming one of a depu tation to his lordship, to present an address which had been unanimously voted by the town council, and which, lie might safely say, expreesed not enly the feelinge of the cor porate body, but of the town eentrally, and which he would now hand to the town-council to read.

Yesterday being fixed for the enthronisation 01 his Grace the Archbishop ot Canterbury a large concourse of the gentr Y" nd clergy of the diocese *mumbled at the Ca thedral of that city, to witness, or take p tit part in, the cere mony. A greater degree of interest than usual was excited from the tact that this was the brat time, for more than a centuey, that the cnthronisation of an archbishop in person had taken place, the solemnity having been during that period pertornted by proxy. Shortly alter 10 o'clock the cathedral doors were thrown open, and every available seat in the spacious chair was occupied. Ailanimion was obtained by tickets, of which no fewer than 900 were distributed. Amongst those present were the Marquis and 111 , irchionew o f Conyngham and Lord A lbert Conyngham, 1/r. Burnaby, the Vicar-General, Sir Brooke Bridges. Mr. Th...les, M.P. ; Mr. Rice, M.P. ; Sir F.. Hering, the Earl and Countess of Delavrarr, Lord and Lady Sondes, G. A. tVarr, ; the high sheriff of the county,the Right If in. S. It. Lusliington, Lady Sarah Finch and the lion. Col Finch,Lord Guernsey, Miss Plumptre, &c. There was also a very numerous sit tendance of the diocesan clergy, about 200 being prectnt. At elcv. it o'clock the archbishop, attended by the auditor, canons, minor canons, the archdeacon, the dean and vice dean of the cathedral, and the dean and suh-dean of the province (the bishops of Lichfield and Winchester), pro. coded through the nave b. tweet two lines of the clergy in their gowns, the choir singing the Hallelujah china:. The precession, while advancing through the extensive nave and aisle, presented a solemn and imposing appearance. The archbishop, robed as he appears in the House of Lords, was conducted to his seat on the north side of the communion table, whilst the Bishop of Lichfield and thesouth 13ishup side of Winchester took their places on the . The service then commenced. At the end of the lint le ;son the archdeacon left his stall and conducted the arch aishop, attended by the dean and vice-dean of the cathe dral, to the throne, which was placed in the middle of the church, and on which the archbilloP took his seat. The • vicar-general presented the mandate of enthronisation to the archdeacon, which was read by the auditor. The arch deacon then read the following form of induction: 1, James Croft, Master of Art., Archdeacon of Canterbury, do induct d , install, and enthrone you, the most reverend. father In God, John Bir Sumner, Doctor in Divinity, lord Archbishop of Canterbury, into the archbishopric and a rchiepiscopal dignity of the re of Canterbitro, and into the real, actual, and corporal p0K00.4011 of the same, with ill and singular the rights, dignities, honours, pre-entmences, and appurte nances thereof, and the Lord preserve your gang out and your coming from this time forth for evermore. Amen The service was then proceeded with, the choir singing the Ben , decac. The service being ended, his erace the arch bishop was conducted to the ancient marble choir, where the some form was repeated as before. blindelssohn's Te Dew?' leaving been sung, and the suffrages read, the archdeacon read the following prayer Al m i g hty God, the Inver of all good. things, who by thy Holy Sp irit Inver haat appointill divers orders of ministers in thy church, mercifully behold they servant John Bird Sumner, who is now admitted ple- to the e hi g h office and dignity of archbishop of this province, and so re him with the truth of thy &dries, and Isamu tints with innocency of life, that both by word and deed he may faithfully serve n o n in this office, to the glory of thy name, and to the edifying and well-governing of they church. Grant, we beseech Thee, that he may long live hap pily to rule this church, and that basing worthily fulfilled his eaters, at the latter day he may receive the crown th of and Oxide...n.B one laid 141 by the lord the Righteo us Judge, who live reigneth, God with the Father and tho Holy Ghost, world without each. Anion. The archbishop then pronounced the blessing in a loud and fi:m voice. The further ceremonial was then conducted in the chapter-house, where the archdeacon plsced his grata in the chief seat, saying , " Most reverend Father in God, I I demo; Croft, Archdeacon of Canterbury, assign and appoint' this seat to you as Lord Archbishop of Canterbury." The archdeacon then administered the following oath : My Lord Archbishop,—Von swear to inaintain the 'egghts and litter. tier of this chortle and to obscene the approood cust. thereof, and, as far so it CODOCCIIS yoUt ATOM, 1.0 MOW tile... to olle•erreal by others, solar as such e ns, and not repugnant to God's word, the law, statutes, provisions, and ordinances ot the realm or to her Ma. je,ty's prer ogat i ve , and not otherwise. See help you God. The archdeacon then said," 1, James Croft, Archdeacon and cano of this church, do promise to pay canonical obe dience to your grace, Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, as my diocesan and archbishop." Then the dean, the other ca nons, the auditor, the six preachers, the schoolmasters, minor canons, and lay clerks, in like manner promised ca nonical obedience. An act of the proceedings was then produced and signed in the presence of and attested by a notary public, and the assembly was dismissed by the dean, A Iteront Is CURRENT IN TILE CITY of the arrival of a special commissioner front the German diet, authorised to accept the mediation of England in the SAileswig.llolstein affair, and a strong belief is therefore entertained that this awkward imbroglio will be satisfactorily arranged.

ISBTI TX:Tn.—The annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this , society was held, last evening, at the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street, and there was a numerous attendance. J. Lobouchere, Esq.. the treasurer of the institute, presided. In opening the proceedings, the chairman alluded to the importance of Christian education at the contrast present presented moment. During the recent events in Europe, the by this country had been mainly attributable to the reli gious spirit of England ; and it was only by cordially sup• porting institations for the Christian education of the young, that our proud ition could be maintained. Sunday schools, in particular, pos had been eminently productive of good ; even in Ireland, they seemed like an oasis in the desert ; about 100,000 children there received the whole of their training in Sunday schools. In our own coun try, education was defective, both in kind and e 'tent, the average attendance of children at schools not being more than three years, obviously a most inadequate period. Sanday-schools came powerfully in aid of this defi ciency ; and if the friends of this society, and those actively cogaged in Sundayschool tuition, persevered in their lauda ble work, the beneficial results would ere long be visible. — Mr. Fleet, the secre tary, read the report of the committee , which stated that difficulties had been thrown in the way of the contemplated union of Church Sunday-schools, by the feeling of self-satisfaction entertained by the conductors of many . schools. The financial affairs of the institute were cheering. The receipts from annual subscriptions, collections, and donations had amounted to 1701. 19s. ; from sales ot publications, 1821. 4s. 6d. ; loan from a member of the committee, 1001. ; making, with some small items, 4771. 9s. Ild. The expenditure had been—for rent, 821. 10s.; rrtieles of the trade, 1321. 2s. ; pur chases, 891. 155.; printing, 171. 13s. 6d. An addition had been made to the library, ot 83 volumes ; the issues to readers had been 1,545, against 1,217 in the preceding year. By i rzturns from 85 metropolitan church Sunday schools, they I found that 1,988 teachers were engaged in those I. sc l o ot s;h total the number of scholars being—boys, 9,960 ; girls, 1, 21,581 ; the average attendants had been 13,4611. Three- 1 fourths of these s chools had lending libraries. oyi Thng e returns f r om the country . embraced 62 schools, empl 1,710 teachers, and giving instruction to 17,571 children ; the average attendants being 12,020; and the number reading the Scripture., 10,588. These statistics were avoedly m eagre, and formed only the nucleus of the w returns which s he committee hoped to obtain. The Rev. J. Harding moved the adoption of the report, and the appointment of officers The society, he otwerved, wee still in ts infanc Their object was instruction, not so much of t the bead, y. as of the heart ; he held that all i nstruc tion given on the Sabbath ought to be of a sacred cha racter; and he should not be sorry to see the teaching of 'yelling banished from Sunday schools C). Believing it to lie the will of God that England should have a church, he felt tt the nstituions labouring in coexion with the church must s have the divine a pproval.— nn The Rev. Mr. Jameson, of Amsterdam, seconded the motion. lie alluded to the recent disturbances in that city, anl said at and the other protestant cler g ymen of the place bad th receiv h e e d the expression of the satisfaction of the autho ritie he s at their Wort. rts fir the restora tion of peace and order. Rev. Whittemore moved a resolun, decla necessity of increase d exertion by the tio friends of ring the e th to counteract the effects of certain uteri publi cation., of a positively injurious dency. Some reprinted the worst class of French novels, whose effects were most demoralising. These cheap periodicals were chiefly read by young persons and children. To coun teract this appalling evil, was one object of the society ; and for this purpose it was not so much scientific, as religious in struction, that was n eeded. Of all means for imparting t his s rs instruction, those p ossessed by the Sunday school teache were most effective. Let them inquire whether these dread lal perodicals with poison in every page, had found their way into the hands of the Sunday school children; and if so, apply the prop er antidote, by furnishing good the im religious books. Mt. Fl e et seconded the motion, and urged lenience of supplying Sunday scholars with good books. The Rev. Mr. Power moved a resolution, impressing on the audience the necessity of supporting and extending Sunday shoots. Preaching and pastoral ai-itation were wholly in. elequate for their object, unless the aid of the laity was tailed in, in the form of Sunday school instruction and other means. Mr. T. G. Conyers seconded the motion. At the close a collection was made in aid of the tociq'sllllltlJ,
