If . RI FISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. Yesterday the 21st Anniversary Meeting of this So ciety took place at Freemasons'-Hall. His Royal High- Tess the Duke of Sussex, who was expected to preside, not having arrived, it was proposed that the report of the Society for the last year be read, and that WILLIAM ALLEN, Esq. be requested to take the Chair until the arrival of the Royal Duke. A note was afterwards for warded to the Chairman, expressing the regret of his Royal Highness that a slight indisposition prevented his attendance, and adding his wishes for the welfare of the society. The report was then read. It stated the progress vt hich the society had made for the last year ; and the results were most favourable to the friends of educa tion. There were sixty branch schools in London alone that were now educating 10,000 childreniand the exer tions of the society were establishing others throughout England. In Ireland, also, the schools under the pa tronage of the society were gradually increasing, and the system of education which they inculcated was folio.' to work well in that country. F fteen hundred schools were now established there, that gave education to 100,000 individuals. The children were chiefly Ca tholic, and the Scriptures wet e read at all schools with out note or comment. The report went on to praise the Kildare street Society of Dublin, hiving that their exertions to educate the Irish poor would meet with in creasing success, and w ishing that they would, above all things, and in spite of all things, cling to the princi ples on which they had acted so long. The report de precated any system of education in which, the reading of the Scriptures should not form a part ; and in this it coincided with the opinion of Lord Liverpool, who had lately expressed an opinion to a like effect. The report vent on to state, that in Scotland there were seventy nine schools established, which gave education to 4,000 children; and a general review was taken of the pro gress which the Society had made in extending its bene fits abroad. In Denmark, under the patronage of the King, the British system of religious instruction had proceeded with great success. And in Sweden, also, the royal patronage was extended to the British schools with the best possible effect. In Russia little had been done during the last year. The schools . at St. Peters burgh, however, were going on well, and it was hoped that the present Emperor would follow the example of his late royal brother, in extending the system of reli gions education throughout his wide dominions. In the Netherlands the system proceeded with vigour and success, and' architectural drawing and vocal 'music were added, within the last year, to the other acquire ments of the pupils. In France, the report expressed a regret that the system of English school instruction bad made but little progress for the last two years. It was opposed and thwarted by the Catholic priesthood, who, on every occasion, strove to impede its extension. In Spain, .owing to the blind bigotry of the people, and the intolerance of the priesthood, the operations of the so ciety were considerably retarded. In Malta, under the friendly auspices of the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings, the schools established there were proceeding prosperously, and the numbers were increasing. The society had been able to effect but little in Greece, owing to the divided state of that unhappy and ill-fated country. The Greeks, however, had formed a general school establishment on , the plan recommended by the society, and great benefit had resulted. From Africa, the report continued to state, there was no intelligence of a cheering nature. In Persia, however, there was every prospect of the system of English education and instruction being speedily introduced. In Ceylon, sixty schools had been established that gave instruction to 3,000 children. From Calcutta, British India, South America, and the West Indies, favourable accounts had been received.. His Excellency the AMNASSADOR from the NLTHIRLANDS begged to propose, that the report which had been just read be printed, under the direction of the Committee. The Rev. ROWLAND Hsu., the Ref. EDWARD Uvula, and several Gentlemen addressed the meeting, which was numeroudy and fubiotiably attended. A collection was made In the room in aid of the funds of the society, and at four o'clock the meeting separated. The remains of the only son of Sir CHARLES Lessors, Bart. who was drowned whilst bathing, near Harrow school, arrived at Truro on Monday sennight, in a hearse drawn by six horses, which proceeded on Tues day morning on its way to the family vault at Mylor church, in which the body was interred on Wednesday. The Protestant Society for the Protection of Religious Liberty held its anniversary meeting at the City of London Tavern, on Saturday. The room was fulj, a large proportion of the company being females. The Marquis of LANSDOWN having taken the Chair, JOHN Witics, Esq. Secretary to the Society, made his report to the meeting in a speech of considerable length, ex planatory of the purposes for which the society was instituted, and the progress it had made, quoting several instances in which its interference bad tended to promote the cause of religious liberty, by determining the rights of dissenters from the Church of England to buiiat bj ministers of the establishment, in cases of lay baptism, kc. by resisting, se i:11 success, many cases of illegal ex action of Easter dues, Lite. &c. His speech was received throughout with loud cheers. He was followed by several Clergymen and others, on subjects connected with the business of the meeting, after which several resolutions were passed. The Noble Chaio man, on thanks being voted to him, returned his acknowledg ■tents in an animated and impressive speech, embracing a variety of topics, and concluded by expressing his cordial approbation of the views by which the society was actuated. The meeting then adjourned. Early in the morning of Thprsday, a large patty of smugglers had assembled in the neighbourhood of Dymchurch, and a boat laden (as is supposed) with tubs of spirits, being observed to approach the shore nearly opposite to llymchurch, the smugglers instantly , commenced cheering, and rushed upon the coast, threatening defiance to the sentinels of the Blockade; who, perceiving such an overwhelming force, gave the alarm, when, a party of marines coming to their assist ance, a general firing took place. The smugglers re treated into the marshes, followed by the Blockade, and from their knowledge of the ground were indebted for their ultimate escape. We regret to state that two of the Blockade seamen were wounded ; one severely in the arm, which must cause amputation, and the other in the face, by slug shots. There can be no doubt but that some of the smugglers must have been wounded, if not killed. One of their muskets was picked up, loaded, abandoned no doubt by the bearer of it on ac count of woundi. The boat, with her cargo, was obliged to put to sea again without effecting a landing ; and, notwithstandin g the vigilance a Lieutenants Westbrook, Mudge, and M'Cleod, who were afloat in their sallies on the spot, Irons the darkness of the nigh', effected their escape. POOR RATES. • 'Pie Select Committee appointed to consider of the several Returns made to the Order of the House in 1825, relative to the Sums assessed, levied, and ex pended, on account of the Poor in England'and Wales; and to _report an Abstract of the same, together with their Observations thereon, to the House( and to whorl) the Rep , rt which, upon the 20th day of May in the la,t Session • I Parliament, was made from the Select Committee on Poor Returns, was referred;—have, pursuant to the Order of the House, considered the matters to them referred, and have agreed to the fol lowing Report:— The amount of the Poor Rates levied in the year ending en the 2Sth of March, 1825, was £6,972,323, being more than that in the preceding year by £135,818, and also rather more than the sum levied in the year 18224, but less than that levied in former years, since 1811-13, with the exception of 1815-16, which it exceeds by a small sum only. These comparisons refer to the total sums levied, including county rates and other charges not appertaining to the poor. These other charges scarcely differ in amount from the average of the last three years, namely, rather more than -.Et,200,00n. The expenditure upon the poor only, in 1824-5. was £5,786,991, and exceeds, in a small propOrtion, that of each of the two years last preceding. The expenditure has not increased in all the counties. It has in creased in twenty-three in England, and eleven in Wales ; it has decreased in nineteen in 'England, and one in Wales. The highest increase is in Carnarvon, where it is thirteen per cent. Of the English counties, the increase is greatest in Bucking ham, where it is nine per cent. The increase is below one per cent. in Cornwall, Lincoln, Norfolk, and Shropshire. The greatest decrease is eight per cent. in Rutland ; in Westmoreland it is below one per cent. All the counties in which the Poor Rates bad increased last year exhibit an increase this year also, with the exception of Suffolk and Warwick; and in addition. there has been an increase in Bucks, Cornwall, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hereford, Hertford, Hunting don, Lancaster, Middlesex, Northampton, Salop, Somerset, Wor cester, Anglesey, Brecon, and Montgomery . Of the Counties in which there was a decrease last year, Chester, Devon. Derby, Durham, Kent, Leicester, Monmouth, Northum- 1 berland, Nottingham, Rutland Stafford, Surrey. Sussex, West- , moreland, York, and Glamorgan, still exhibit a decrease. Your Committee have inserted in their Appendix a continuation of the several Tables of Comparison which were added to the Report of last year. It will be found, that notwithstanding a diminution which has occurred in each of the last two years, in the Poor's Rates of Sus sex, that county is still the district of England in which the expen diture bears the highest proportion to the number of the people; and Lancaster is still at the opposite extremity of the scale. May 1, 1826.

She was accompanied by two of her grand-daughters. Her appearance be spoke perfect health. ELIICTION FOR WESTMORRLAND.—Last night the friends of Mr. BROUGHAM assembled at the City of Lon don Tavern, for the purpose of adopting measures for returning that Gentleman to Parliament for the county. Several resolutions were passed, expressive of the deter mination of the electors to oppose the LOWTHER inter est; and a Committee was appointed to act in London upon the subject, and a subscription to defray all ex penses of the election commenced. Hugh Owen, the suspected poacher near Drayton (whose arms had been torn off by a threshing machine twenty years ago, but whose dog pounced upon a hare whilst his master was seeking a strayed ass),was liberated from Shrewsbury gaol on Sunday, after enduring im prisonment six months, without trial by a Jury. LICRNSE TAKEN WITH A POZT.—A few days ago, one of the most popular modern Poets being on his way to London, at a short distance from the metropolis, was accosted by a respectable looking man, who in quired whether he knew a Mr. W. a Gentleman well known in the literary world. " Perfectly well," was the reply : " Then you are also probably acquainted with Mr. I am that individual," said the Poo. " Bless me bow fortunate !" rejoined the stran ger. " I have often wished to see you ; and although it is our first meeting, you will not, I hope, think me in trusive, if I request your autograph, for I have been collecting signatures of eminent men for some time past." The Poet drew some paper from his pocket. book, and wrote upon it his name. They parted. In a day or two after he had occasion to call on an emi. nent London house, the principal of which informed him he honoured his order. "My order! (said the Poet), explain yourself?"—" The 101. Sir."—" What 101.?"—" The money which we paid the strange Gen t:eman." It appeared, on further explanation, that as soon as the collector of autographs had got the much desired signature, he wrote above it, " Please to pay the bearer Ten Pounds," presented it to Mr. —, and received the money. SUNDAY SPORTS.—A writer of the 16th century, re probating the diversions then usually practised on Sun day, complains that " the Clergyman posteth the service over as fast as he can galloppe ; for, eyther he bath two places to serve ; or the there are some games to be playde in the aftern ,, on, as lying for the whetstone, heathenishe dancing for the ring, a beare or bull to be baited, or else a jackanapes to ride on horsebacke, or an interlude to be plaide ; and if no place else can be got. ten, this interlude must be playde in the church. We speak not ct ringing after matins is done." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Yesterday, Minaret illeiseass, a wretched creature, who had been placed at the bar at least forty times previously, was brought before Mr. Alderman Brown, by Joseph Horton, one of the patroles of Cripplegate Ward, who stated, that on the previous night he found her, rather intoxicated he believed, picking up men in the street., and he took her to the watch-house, where, after a short de tention. she was discharged, with a caution not to be seen in the streets again that night. Nevertheless, he saw her afterwards in Little Moorfields, about two o'clock in the morning, " pick up" a man ; and when he interfered, and desired her to go about ber business, sbe became noisy, and he therefore took her to the watch-house. Mr. Alderman Sans—What do you mean by " picking up" a man ?—Patrole.—l mean, your Worship, she began a conversation with him, and they were conversing when I interrupted them. Mr. Alderman BROWN observed to the Chief Clerk, that there was nothing indecent in a man and woman merely speaking to each other, and immediately turning to the wentan aismissed her, say ing, I shall not commit you this time, but take care not to be brought here again. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, William CuMier, a decrepit old man, seeraingly on the verge of 70 years, was put to the bar on a ckarge of stabbing Samuel Westerford, an old friend and acquaintance, with intent to murder or do him some grievous bodily harm. In his defence, the prisoner said he was standing in the passage eating some bread and meat with a knife in his hand, when Wester ford came up to him, and having first spoken sharply, and then struck him, he (prisoner) made a blow at him with the hand in which he held the knife. He denied that he said he was " deter mined to do it ;" he also said that when he delivered himself up he was tipsy, having taken two or three drams, supposing that he would net be allowed any thing to drink when once in custody.—Thepri• saner was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday, an officer in the army, named Berry, was brought up, charged with stealing a horse and gig. After some attempts at a private arrangement, the prisoner was plated at the bar. Mr. Luischard, son to the prosecurrix, deposed, that on the 26th April, the prisoner borrowed the horse and gig,, in question, from his mother, for one day, but neither bad ever been seen since. It was the impression of the family that they had been sold ; and the purchase-money appropriated by the prisoner. On being called on for his defence, Mr. Berry stated, that the reason of his not having returned them was owing to their having been taken in execution by Mrs. Luischard. Mr. Luischard—That I deny. Mr. Berry—The horse and gig, along with some furniture, were taken in execution some rime ago. They, with some part of the furniture, were bought in for me, and they were to be sent back to me. As this was not done, I determined on getting possession of them. They cost me some time ago 2001. Mr. Roz—Your conduct has laid you open to a criminal pro secution. Mr. Berry—The mother holds my warrant of attorney for 3301. a bill for 1501. and my own acceptances for 1.10/. Sbe had no right besides, to keep my horse and gig, and lam determined not to give them up. Mr. Roe—You labour under an erroneous impression. The property was absolutely theirs on their purchasing it. Mr. Berry—May I Ye admitted to bail? Mr. lina—lf I were sure you have acted merely from a wrong impre.sion, I would admit you to bail. Mr. Berry—l have had an offer for the horse and gig; but if I had sold them, I did not wish to keep the money. Mr. Roe—lf you do sell them, you will commit a felony to all Intents and purposes. Mr. Berry, not being provided with bait, was given back to the custody of the officer. QUEEN. SQUARE. Yesterday, .7ehst Proctor and Alain Anderson, two private soldiers belonging to the 3d Regiment Foot Guards, were charged before EDWA RD Mmumatto Esq. the sitting Magistrate, with a highway robbery.—lt appeare dl front the evidence of William Pullen, also a private in the same regiment, that he was quartered at the Crown public-house, in Down -street, Piccadilly. Tuesday afternoon he left his bille t company with Charles Clark, the landlord's son, for the purpose of getting a watch out of pledge at a pawnbroker's in Westminster. They repaired to several public-houses, and et the Feathers, in Grosvenor-place, Clark gave to the prosecutor his watch and 51. to take care of, at which time they were joined by the two prisoners, and several pats of porter were drank. On the party entering the house, he (Clark) received back his watch and money, and on their arriving at Hyde Park Corner the landlord's son, with another young man, left the prosecutor's eompany ; and on his (Pullen) reaching Park-lane, he was accosted by Proctor, and asked for the 51. that young Clark bad given him • he told him he had returned the money to his young master ;he replied it was a d—d lie. Prosecutor then took front his pocket a small flannel purse, saying, this is all the money I have, it belongs to me • upon which Proctor knocked him down, and at that moment Anderson forced the purse out of his hand, containing two half-crowns, and ran away. Prosecutor attempted to stop the prisoner, Proctor. but afterwards let him go, and the same evening went to report the circumstances to his superior officer, Captain Stopford, who was the adjutant of the regiment, but not meeting him, next morning the two prisoners were apprehended by Cooper, the officer, belonging to Queen-square. Several other witnesses were examined, but from their evidence it seemed they were not present when the robbery took place. The prisoners, in their defence, denied striking or robbing their comrade, the prosecutor; they admitted having drank with him during the evening, and his asking them to go- to his quarters in Piccadilly.—They were fully committed to liewgate for trial. UNION HALL Yesterday, two men, named Thomas Miller and George Marriott, were brought up to this Office to custody, before the sitting Magis trate, R. J. Cassese's, Esq. charged in conjunction with breaking open a house, in the occupation of Mr. Naylor, situate in Stangate. street, Lambeth, and stealing a quantity of cut-glass articles, con sisting of decanters, salt-cellers, and champaign glasses. From the evidznce it appeared, that the foreman in the employ ment of Mr. Naylor carefully locked and bolted the premises on Saturday night, leaving everything to all appearance in perfect safety. On the following morning, the workshop, however, was discovered to have been broken into and robbed of cut glass articles to a considerable amount, the thieves having effected an entrance by boring through the panels of the door, slipping back the bolts, and then opening the door with a skeleton key. The above property seemed to have been removed In baskets, as a quantity of straw was lying about on the floor of the shop. LAM BET H-ST BEET. 1 • J. Foram,' was fully committed, chatted with burglariously entering the house of bir.liead, a tailor, in Northumberland -street, Commercial-road, and stealing a quantity of cloth, a coat, a pair of trousers, and several silver spoons. Commercial report from Odessa states, that eighty ships havearrived there, and a greater number was daily expected. Trade wag, in consequence, looked on as reviving, and confidence Was returning. Sir GEORGE Les was thrown from his gig on Wed nesday, and very severely bruised. His fall was occa sioned by the stumbling of his horse, which bad its knees broken, as were also the shafts of the gig. Thursday night, or early on Friday morning, Mr. Fraser, jun. of Ardwick Green, with two American Gentlemen, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Bradford, were return ing from a pa ty in a hackney coach, when, on their arrival at the residence of the former Gentleman, the coachman, in descending from the box for the purpo3e of letting him alight, fell. The horses, alarmed by this, started off at full speed along the Stockport road, and pursued their course with such fury as to dash through the turnpike at Lcngsight, tearing away the staple into which the bolt of the lock ran. They kept on with such extreme ♦iolence that the Gentlemen within, alarmed for their safety, determined on adopting the very dangerous expedient of tlitowing.themselves out of the carriage. Mr. Lewis was the first who did so, and he fortunitely escaped without material injury. Mr. Bradford followed, and the horses kept on until , hey were stopped by the toll gate at Heaton Norris. Mr. Fraser, like Mr. Lewis, had by this time effected his escape in safety ; but Mr. Bradford, who was second ir. jumping out of the vehicle, was found to have sus. tained such dreadful injury, that he was taken up in sensible, and soon expire.

A youth named Laagley, the son of the late hang man, having been convicted at the Old Bailey f ,, r theft, was ordered to be privately whipped, and which sen tence is generally performed by the common hangman. The present Jack Ketch and his deputy, however, pre sented a petition to the Court, stating that they felt a repugnance in punishing the son of their predeces , or, who had initiated them in the art and mystery of their calling, and praying that it might be inflicted by some other City Officer. Mr. Seijeant AKABIN, on reading the petition, said, he would endeavour to prevent the feelings of the applicants being disturbed. Saturday evening, an inquisition was taken at the London Hospital, Mile End Road, before J. W. Umwsn, Esq. the Coroner, on view of the body of Wm. Guage, a lad seventeen years of age. It appeared in evidence that the deceased, on Monday se'nnight, owing to some dispute, challenged another youth, named Joseph Palmer, to fight with him: in consequence of which they met on Tuesday evening, in Heart Grounds, Bethnal Green, each accompanied by their associates, young and grown persons. A ring was made, when both stripped, and after lighting three-quarters of an hour, the de ceased, from exhaustion, was obliged to give in. He complained immediately after of violent pains in his head, and on being taken home became quite insets ible, in which state he remained until the following day. A medical Gentleman was then called in, who recom mended his being sent to the hospital. This was im mediately done, and he expired a few hours after his arrival. On dissection, a great quantity of extra vasated blood was found lodged in and about the mem branes of the brain, and the surgeon attributed it to external violence, and which caused his death. The Coroner, in summing up, said, that the present state of society was much to be regretted, when persons who had come to years of discretion could stand by and two youths of the age of the deceased and his adversary to fight three-quarters of an hour. Thecase, in his opinion, was that of " Manslaughter," and as the law made those persons who had taken an active part in the fight equally principals, the verdict of the Jury should extend to the seconds who had akted 03 this occasion. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of" Manslaughter" against Joseph Palmer, as principal, and Kendall, Spring, and Tasker, as seconds. MARRIED. Monday sennight, at Manchester, John Wagstaffe, aged 60. to Jane Martin, aged 73, both of Stockport. It is a remarkable cir cunutance that this couple of youthful lovers were joined together in the holy bands of matrimony some seven and twenty years do. Some time after this event, the former husked of the fair one turned from the wars (in which she supposed be had found a glorious grave), and wan, his bride. She was accordingly given up to him • for many years they lived comfortably togtthcr, and the disapp ointed swain took to himself another rib. la cosh-sear time she died, and soon after, Martin was gathered t kis fathers, and the youthful couple, thus left to follow the bent of their OWIII inclination, have now gone through the ceremony a second time, to the mutual satisfaction of both parties. They have a son living, the offspring of the former marriage, whose age is 26. DIED. At Edinburgh, on the 5d inst. in the 2.34 year of his age, Lieut.
