THE CASE OF FUALDES. "7"- The exrtaordinary trial which some years ago took place in the south of France, in consequence of the assassination of M. Fualdes, and which, on account of the evidence and conduct of Madame Manson, and other remarkable circumstances connect. ~.1 ith the case, engaged at the time the attention of all 'Europe, is likely to become again a subject of ptillic interest, if the fact stated in the following letter be true : "Toulouse, September 26. " Moosieua—l beg of you to give the greatest publicity to the following statements: • " 13ousquier, who was at first implicated in the charge, and afterwards cited as a witness in the proceedings relative to the assassination of the unfortunate Fualdes, died at Backe, on the 20th of this month. Before he died be made and signed the following declaration : " I, the undersigned, being on the bed of death, wishing tri appease the remorse of my conscience, and to repair. as far as I am able, the wrongs I have committed, do declare before Coo, who searches my heart, and knows that I speak truth, that all thal I deposed relative to the assassination of ill.- Fualdes is corn pletely false • that it was only the fear of death with which I was threatened that induced me to say I was in the house of Fiance!, and was present when the body was thrown into the river; and that it was only to save my life that I made tit.e said declaration, which I now of my full and free will retract, de siring that this retraction may be made public at my death. " ' Given at Bodes, in one of the Halls of the Ilutel-Dieu, Sept. 4, 1821.' " (Approved and signed by Bousquier ; after which the re gistration, &c. follows). " Tnis declaration, under seal, was presented by the Abbe de Seguret to the Vice-l . resident of the Tribunal of Itodez, who, on the 21st of September, drew up a minute of the transactinn, and ordered the document to be depodted.

CTA,TE OF EDUCATION IN NEW SOUTH IVALES. (From the Sydney Gazette of January d). An interesting scene was witnessed at the Church of St. Philip's, Sydney, on Monday last, it being the second anniversary of the foundation of the Male Or phan School, where a Sermon was preached by the Rev. THOMAS REDDALL. After the Sermon, the children were examined by the Rev. Preacher, suitably to their re.pective ages and studies, according to the National system of education, very much to the satis faction of his Excellency the Patron, and the Members of the Committee ; and all present were surprised to see the specimens of shoes and clothing made by the children ; when his Excellency distributed six silver medals, inscribed-4. The hest reader ;" " The best writer r 4. The best arithmetician ;" 4. General good conduct and gardening ;' " The best tailor; and " The best shoemaker ;" and also a number cf books on various subjects to other deserving boys; after which they were regaled with an old English dinner of roast beef and plum-pudding. When it is re membered that the National system was practically unknown in the Colony until the arrival of the Rev. THOMAS REDDALL, who is charged with a parti cular comunission for its introduction, the proficiency displayed by these native-born youths, from so short a course of instruction, stimulates a pleasing hope of the benefits to be reaped by the corning ge neration, when the advantages of the system are ex tended to ali the Public &hoots, whereby the natural talent of every little colonist may be fully developed ; that as vice and ignorance have been the danger of the past, so wisdom and knowledge (with virtue) may be the stability of the future. FEMALE AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY. Yesterday a Meeting was held at the City of Lon don Tavern, for the purpose of forming a Female Branch Bible Society, and Ten Female Associations, in connection with the City of London Auxiliary Bible Society. At an early hour, a numerous as semblage of beautiful and elegant females had col lected, and at twelve o'clock, the Great Room was completely filled. Among the company seated on the platform, two Indian Chiefs of the Mohawk tribes in Upper Canada, were objects .of general attention. One of them, a young man of remarkably handsome features and commanding appearance, was dressed in the full military costume of his country ; his com panion, who was also an Officer of the highest rank, was dressed as an European, and was only distin guishable from the Gentlemen who surrounded him, by the deep copper tinge which characterises the complexions of the North American tribes. Mr. BEVAN having been voted to the Chair, pro ceeded to explain the object of the Meeting. He said, Bible Societies, since their institution, had pros pered beyond all expectation—the reason wit's, they were the work of GOD. But though the success had been great, it was found the basis, though broad in the commencement, was capable of being extended, and the object of those by whom they are supported, now is to extend the knowledge of the Scriptures to the whole world. For this purpose much remains to be done, as it is calculated that there are still 600,000,000 of our fellow-creatures on the globe, Iwho have not yet received the knowledge of the Word of Life, and to attain it all classes and de grees of Christians shauld unite. And how much may be done by those who may, comparatively, be called the poor, 'can in some degree be judged by considering that five persons, at a penny a week will equal the rich man's guinea a-year. 'And certainly no more effectual means could be taken to extend both the contributions in suppor t of the Society, and the reading of the Scriptures, than the formation of the Society, which it was the purpose of the Meeting to institute. The Rev. Mr. J. Owes said, it was rather novel to call on females to undertake th 4 duty alone. Some might possibly suppot - e, that the delicacy of the fe male character might be injured; that the molest re tirement which 'increased their loveliness might be endangered, or that their attention to domestic duties might be interrupted ; but the experiment has been lately tried, and none of these consequences have ful lowed. • Indeed if they were likely to follow the pro posal would mot be made by lathers, husbands, bro thers, .and masters. But females • ill find, that, in perfect consistency Leith their other 'avocations, they can devote a portion of -their time to the service of Gun, by promoting the knowledge of his Word. In Livet pool, Manchester, and other places, females have lent their active assistance to the Bible Societies established at those places, and the hest effects have been the result. The City of London Auxiliary So ciety has a high character; hut moreirom the great ness of the City, than the extent of its operations ; but from this day it will rise to the majesty to which it is entitled ; and while our Monarch is receiving the homage of nations long hostile, our little S‘ciety will become a glory amongnations. He concluded with moving, That a Ladies' Branch Bible Society be formed to act in conjunction with the City of Lon don Auxiliary Bible Society." • Mr. Fa ESH NI A N seconded the Resolution. Since tht formation of the Ladies' Bible Society in Liverpool, 371 Distsici Ateietiet had been formed, 15,000 copies of the Scriptures had been distributed, and £5OOO had been collected. Ladies' Societies were unifoi mly successful—there was no insta ce of failure. The Rey. J. HUG;IES said, he should lament, if, while ether towns wsre enjoying the blessings of Fe : . male Wile Societies, London was not to enjoy the same advantage. The Rev. Gentleman pis isosed that her Royal - Highness the Duchess of Kent be 'the President. He said, a letter would be lead from her Royal Highness, declaring her acquiescence. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent had been the zea lous Patron of Bible Societiei. It was the determi nation of the British and Foreism Bible Society, as far as PROVIDENCE shall give means, to supply every individual in the world with die Scriptures. Much had been done by the London Auxiliary Society -25,000 copies of the Set iptures had been .'istributed, but mote would be done by the LaSic,' SAcietY, to he this day formed, in a year or two, than in all the • time that is past. In Manchester £llOO had been obtained by the Ladies Society in a year ; and in Plymouth, Dock, and Stonehouse, £10&X) in the same time. At a Meeting in Lancashire, last year, a Gen tlsrean said, that in Liver p ool the Ladle, were the head and feet of the cause; bat anoti.er s ell re marked, they were in truth the life and soul of it. At the same Meeting it was stated, there were 1500 persons in the neighbourhood without the Scriptures; and even in London, it was found that many hun dred families were in the same state. Wealth could not be better employed than in oisseminating the knowledge of divine truth. A letter was read from the Duchess of KENT, stating her willingness to be the President of the Society; and one from Miss VA NS:TTA /IT, expressing her readiness to be one of the Vice-Presidents, and inclosiog a do nation of ten guineas. Kr. LUKE rIOWA RD, a Member of the Society of Friends, in seconding one of the Resolutions, said, the Scriptures told us, that the male and female were one itiJESUS CHRIST, and we might be allowed, thet efore, to infer that they were one in all Christian graces, and in all good works. 'This consequence flowed as naturally as the stream from the source; and if the male and the female wete one. it was clear, that with out female co-operation the great work of charity would only be done by halves. The Rev. Mr. CLAYTON said he rose to execute a very pleasing task, which was, to bring to the notice of the Meeting the two illnstt ions strangers who had that day honoured them with their presence. Their 'rank was that of Chiefs of the Mohawk tribes among the North Amelican Italians ; and their re,idence was in Canada, not far from the celebrated falls of the Niagara. Their object in coming to this country was to settle with our Government some claims on the British settlers connected with their own interests.— The Meeting would be more especially delighted to learn that these distinguished strangers were 1 lends to the cause of religiorr and humanity, and friends to the British and Foreign - BibW Society. One of them had been a correspoodent of the Society. He now stood before them in the regimentals and costume of his native country; his name was llsande, and lie was a son of the Braude who was associated in many use ful labours with the celebrated Captain Norton. The name of the other was Kerr, and they each held the military rank of Colonel. The former individual was ready to address the Assembly, and to state his owa• views and wishes respecting the present Institution. The Indian Colonel BRANDI: immediately rose, bowed in a 'graceful manner to the assembly, and spoke the following words with a correct English accent:-4 It is with great pleasure that I rise to ex press the satisfaction I feel in being present at one of your meetings for promoting the diss . emination of the Scriptures, without note or comment, through all parts of the world. The happy effects of your in stitutions have been felt even in nor remote part of the world, and I shall be rejoiced at the opportunity of telling my poor countrymen that I have been pre. sent at a meeting in the great metropolis of England, where one of these Societies was first promoted. I hope, ere long, to witness the happy effects of this Female Branch Society ; and I sincerely hope the meek and lowly Jesus will continue to aid you in all your exertiuns.”—This short speech was .received with much applause. The Resolutions for the formation of the Society, and appointment of Officers, were all carried unani mously ; after which Tha..lss were voted to the Chair ! man, and the Meeting adjourned. • We perceive in the 11.iihlicloes Papers, that the reception of Sir HENRY WARD in that Colony was most flattering and friendly. Sir 111MRY arrived la e in July, Aith his 'family and suite, all well.— lie soon alter convened the Legislate; e; and his Ad dress to them appears to .have teen mrst favourably received, as the House of As..embli immediately pesented his Excellency with a Bill of Se.tlemant for 13,000 annually, as long a, he a2ministcted the Government.
