Zarifint s ASSAULT, &C.—Yesterday a rottleman named fir. mending in York-street, Westminster, was brought up en warrant, by John Welle, the officer, obtained against him by his lode, for committing a most desperate assault upon her. deteric teeing her valuable dresses, and turning her out of doors at eleven o'clock at night. Mts. White stated, that on Friday she returned home to her husband from the country, where she had been on a visit to her filmed*, and no sooner hail she entered the house than he began booting her in the most cruel manner, without the least cause or provocation given on her part. After he had thus ill-used her she endeavoured to soothe his anger, in which she after some time sue. ceeded ; but still he remained sullen, and treated her before the servants with the greatest indifference. Next morning he resumed his ill.treatment towards her, and in the evening his temper isoclinic so violent that she was obliged to fasten herself in her bedchamber :a hopes of avoiding him, but he forced, the door open with a hatchet, and began to beat her in a most unmanly manner with his clenched fists, and gav:, her the injuries, on her eyes that then pre. minted themselves; he then brake open her drawers, and death. tidied all her dresses, and then took her by the shoulders and tuned her out of doors. Tile Magistrate called on Mr. White to explain his conduct. Mr, White said, that the story of his wife having been nn a visit to her friends was as false as sbe was incontinent; the fact was, that about a niontli since she eloped from her home with a fellow named Harvey, who was enabled to carry her off with the money site bad stolen from him, and sbe fled with her seducer, leaving rum and a young infant that was still at the breast. He had pup. sued them all over the country, and at length ascertained from a clergyman of a small parish in 'Worcestershire, that they were tieing together as man and wife. On receiving this intelligence ht fumed a resolution never to see her again, or to allow her any in tercourse with his child. He had never seen or heard of her until Friday, when she returned with all the impudence imaginable, and insisted en coming 'into the house; after a Mail of persuasion he allowed her to enter, and when she had gained her end she began 14 aggravate him in a manner he could not well describe, and de claerd that the child she was now pregnant with belonged to her pecatper= thus worked up to the highest wrath, be committed the °nom alleged to him. Ilmeet.mqb said he felt foe, his situation, but still he had no right to take the law into his own hands. .le.. White declared that she was induced to leave her husband on account of his ill-usage totter; and that he had actually given thefirentienian he alluded to tiOl. to take her of his hands. The Magistrate thought there were faults on both sides, there fore he should dismiss the warrant. The complaint wu dismissed accordingly. "IrdliffiljarClN AIMING - COMMA' I ES.

There were also present a number of elegantly. dressed and interesting femeles, who appeared to take a deep in. tenet in the proceedings of the Meeting. The back slid more denied parted' the platfolens aPPeoPeleted to the speakers and Corninittee. was occupied by several young Greeks, whn had derived instruction in the Society's schools. They were dressed in their tuitional cnstuine, and presented a most into. • resting and gratifying appearance, being extremely fine-looking youths, and generally front tea to twelve years of age. SIIIItea another part of the platform we noticed the Canadian Chiefs, who appeared, to excite considerable attention. At half-past twelve o'clock the Chair was taken by _DANIEL SYKES, Esq., ilt consequence of the absence of his Royal High ness the Duke of Sussex. The CHAIRM•it Said, it became his duty to ley before the meet ing two communications, one from his Royal Highness the Duke of seessex, which s'atetl that his Royal Wetness had been pre 'vented by the occurrence of unexpected bounces from attendleg at stile hour appointed for taking the chair. His Royal Hi hews ex pressed his determination to attend in the course of -the day if pos sible. (Hear.) The next communication was from the Bishop of Norwich., expressive of that Right Reverend Prelate's admiration of, and cordial concurrence in, ,the objects of the Society, hut pleading the infirmities of an octogenarian as an excuse for his ab sence on he present occasion. The Report was then read, and contained a summary expose of the progress made by tine Society during the past year. With re spect to die funds of the Society, they had been augmented by bequests and legacies—one front the late Sir F. Buttner of 5091. ; a second of Wee from Thomas 11'ilkinson, Esq.; and a third of 200 L from the late Earl of Crawford and Lindsay. The goes re ceipts for the invested fund during the last year had been 4,6741. lee 3 and their debt had been consequently reduced 2,0001. The Society hail to regret that there existed but a small number of auxiliary Societies, yet felt crateful' to their friends of Bath, Bristol, and Plymouth fir their support. Thmugh the charnels afforded by Branch Societies in thole places they had re. aired 100/. The Society felt justified in pressing their claln•s upon the public at a time when 30,0001. was devoted to the eats. bliehment and suppers of home schools alone. The central school ! of the Society, hi the Borough-road, maintained its high repute. tion under the care of Mr. !Nekton. Twenty.three thousand two hundred and thirty-seven children had received education and in. struction through that school since its ertablishnient, and at eresent it was attended by 000 children ; 60 more were anxioushy &ratting an opportunity of edmiesion. The fourth anni versary examination of this school was held on the 24th of March. and was attended by Lord Viscount Althorp, the Countess of Dar .'ey, and many other illustrious personages, who expressed great satisfaction at the progress of the pupils. In this school were seven Greek lade, who had been brought over to this country by Captain Illaquiere; and their adveocement in the knowledge of the English language :.lid other useful branches of education, during the six months they had 1-en in the school, was highly satisfactory. in the metropolis there were 60 other schools, exclusive of the central one in the Borough, containing about 10,000 children. In the past year wants had been made to various schools, in slates, lessons, &c. to the amount of 1511. 13s. 3d. The schools on the British system throughout the country were very numerous. In the Highlands end Islands of Scotland, there were 75 schools, containing many thousand pupils. Looking to Ireland, the Society trusted the day would come when it might become a rival to Scot land in the religious education of its people. There 1490 schools were established, which afforded instruction to 100,000 children. With regard to foreign countris—in Russia, the prospect, of the Society were gratifying—the cause of education was proceeding ; the model school established in Petereburgle under the patronage of the Emperor of Russia, and the direction of Mr. Eleard.continued to be conducted web its usual success. The British system of education had extended even to the frigid zone, and in Tobolsk, the capital of Siberia, a school was eetabliehed which afforded educa tion to 1,00 children. In Decmark scriptural education had made great progress, and &model school was established at Copenhagen. In Sweden much had been done, and in the Netherlands the pros pects were highly tattering. A model school had been established at Brussels, and contained 390 scholars. In France difficulties still existed, particularly . throtigh the provinces, but in Paris those obstacles had been in a great degree surmounted, and 45 schools were established, which were attended by 8,000 pupils. The So ciety had received no ieformation from Spain since the period of the last anniversary ; but from Portugal they had a most satisfac tory account to communicate. A model school was established in Lisbon it the Royal expense, and tinder • decree, dated September Mg his Portuguese Majesty offered every encouragement to the British System of education. In Tuscany 30 schools were estab lished. and in the City of Naples three, one of which contained 500 cbildren. Even within the Papal territories, and the immediate states of the Church, there were four shoots established. (Hear.) In Malta much was due to the exertions of the Marquis and Mar. chionese of Hastings ; and under the patronage of Lord Guilford education hail made great advances in the lonian lelands. A person I had been sent out to Greeee for the establishment of schools, and one had already been set on foot in Athens, on the Lancasterisn system, and another in Argos, which contained 150 children. In India the prospects of the Society were gratifying in the extreme. A Schrol-book Society had been formed at Calcutta, for the pur. pose of prieting and circulating elementaty books in the reeve language% of the country. Two of the native Princes had each con tribated 1,000 rupees to the attainment of the object. in North America the progress of education was satisfactory; and in the various schools of South America the pupils were numerous. In the State of Buenos Ayres alone 50 schools were established, snd the New Testament had lately been translated into the Peruvian language, by a descendant of the Inca's. (hear.) The Report concluded by calling on the friends of education to come forward in support of the Institution. Christian charity blessed these who gave and those who received, and persevered in its self-denying efforts, affording to the mind present satisfaction, and pointing to I future honour and reward. W hen the day arrived when the accrete of all hearts would be disclosed, the devoted labourers in the cause of God would, see the result of their cares and toils, and hear the approving words—" Well done, good and faithful Servants, enter ye into the joy of your Lord!" Lord Jour, Russets. rose for the purpose of moving the first Resolution, and expressed the distrust and diffidence he felt in coming forward on the present occasion, and in so prominent a situation, to take a part in the proceedings of the Meeting. It leas rally in the capacity of delegate for his noble father (die Duke of Bedford) that lie ventured to trespass on their kind indulgence._ It would be in their recollection that he had contributed at the very commencement of their Society, arid lent his aid to its establish ment.--(11earo-11 e had now to refer to a communication from the Duke of Bedford which lie held in his hand, and in which his fa ther desired him to convey to the Society the regret be felt at being unable to attend or bear a part in their proceedinee on the present occasion, his ill-heslth operating to prevent his attendance upon public niectirge; at the same time he begged to give utterance to his good wishes for the prosperity of the Society, and ittclnse a draft ler :he putpowe of being appropriated to their funds.—(llcar.) Having thus i.tformed the Meeting of the sentiments of his respected feiher, he needed only to say, front his own personal knowledge, that it was a matter of satisfaction and pride to that individual that he had been a contributor to the Society, and in any degree acces sary to its sauces. His own sentiments were entirely favourable to an Institution whose. object it was to raise the humbler classes from a state of igoorance to one of knowledge and information, and to place in their hands an instrument which, supposing them to possess talents and ability, could not eat to raise them into a more elevated situation in society. (Hear.) But still farther was it the ten. dency and effect of the British and Foreign School Society, to put into the hands of the poor an instrument which would enable them to direct their course thmugh life under the best guidance, which was calculated to keep them clear of vice here, and provide for them the rewards of true religion and virtue here. after. (Lend cheers.) le hearing their Report read, which he had done with the greatest and most sincere pleasure, he had been much struck by the extent and magnitude of the scene of their exertions. The greatest and most cetera:uml conquerors had com monly founded their fame upon the conquest of two or three connirier ; but here was a Society which, without spending the blood or spreading the eccastati;,:i necessary to a conqueror'. fume, acquired a more lasting glory and extended fame, by spreading the infltience of education, religion, and knowledge. tttrnugh every rine:ter of tile globe. (Cheers.) He was particularly desirous of adverting to that part of the Report which retered :o their domestic exertions, and was pleased to observe the ptinciples of education adopting in Ireland, on a more extended scale than formerly. It was a gratifying thing to learn that 1,500 schools had been esta blished in that part of the kingdom. (Hear.) While Statesmen in other places were pursuing various plans for the Improvement of the couotry, it was extremely gratifying to observe this Society pro ceeding in its progress to confer a great national benefit, and with a degree of purity of intention and singleness of object that could not for a moment be mentioned. (Cherie.) Stich was the situation of things at home. and he thought a still wider and greater field was ttoc:;ing abroad toe their exertions. It had been a favourite observ ation with some of the old philosophers, that the whole world was never at once proceeding in a course of improvement ; w h ile one state became enlightened others were sinking into ignorance ; but it apecared to be the peculiar good fortune of our own tinier to re ' verse that state of things, and afford a proof that the a hole woild might be aevancing in knowledge at one tied the same time. Civi -1 liastion was at thia moment proceeding in a rapid career through the remotest pares of America, awl science long extinct was again rekindling in Greece. (Cheers.) It had been the mamice with a certain class of philosophers among the Creeks to retire rata the.nselves and seclude them from the world in silence, for an almost incredible length of time, for the purposes of study and re- Motion. and when they had stored their minds with a multitude of thoughts and reeectionmtbey came forth into the world fur the pur pose of coternuuicating the fruits of their long and painfully se quire(' wiedom. Ile trusted the fate of Greece herself would soon be capable of a comparison with this conduct of- her own sons in old tittles, and that after the long lapse of ignorance and barbarititt, she would swoon be enabl,el to come toward with ail :he light anti Willi- I wee a knowledge and science, and tulded to them, that n:tv kind of knowledge (the knowledge of religion), wheel it was the abject of 1 1 their Society to impart. (Loud cheers.) He wished it were in his power to extend to Spain and Italy the same sort of hopes and ex peciaticns as he indulged in upon the subject of Greece. But he feared that with the stogie exception of Tuscany—and to the Grand Duke of Tuscany tilt Society was under deep obligations—the state of Italy wits at present nearly hopeless. Fonda , did he wish that I delete land to be restored to lice original briglianss, but feared the • i i 1;" -- =- _ ~.. gear, - thirrhtid - Jssord maw _ . schaphi If this feisty I foe Ids Pod heregald SWe kelp yielding dtat them foisted a school foe Moisten Bests Is laugh); it world be7ii be nefici 1 if all the f of Europe were as evil a school somewhat eadeolding the antra{ school at des Racial n the Borough. and when England and AMAMI might act In the capacity of monitors. (Cheers and laughter.) Scowls America opened a fine prospect to their view. There was offered an ample held for their exertions. It was ROW relieved from that thraldom to which Spanish injustice had condemned it. It ' was strange that it never for a second occurred to its conquerors to improve the condition or attend to the happiness of a country which Must so amply repay them for their kindness. No, they hunted , demo its initabitams with dogs, and never once were betrayed into a single act towards them which humanity or justice could dictate. The people of that immense country were then free. He trusted that they could continue to deserve the name of freemen, and he doubted not that in the progress, of civilisation they might one day pneluee specimens of art not inferiot.to the master works of Greece and of Italy. (Applause.) Mr. ALLEN. the Treasurer, informed the meeting of a fact which (he said) the delicacy of the Noble Lord withheld—that the Duke of Bedford's subscriotioti elm 1001. (Applause.) IV's. It'*ws, E.g. M.P. seconded the motion. Ile did not think it necessary to advocate the propriety of education before such a meeting as the present. At the present enlightened e' it would indeed Ise a waste of time to say one word on the po licy of a general instruction. (hear, hear.) All, he was sure, must feel gradfild at the Report just read ; it must cheer them to find such mighty ends produced by means so small. In considering the want of education endured by /to many of their fellow-creatures, all eyes • naturally turned to Ireland. (Hear, hear.) After some observa tion,' as to the anxiety which prevailed in that country for infor mation, he expressed a hope that such a system of ioatruction may be pursued in Ireland, as would bring the youth of all persuasions together, so that (in the words of a distinguished individual)" those children who had knelt around the common fountain, may, in after lifs ' when enjoying the full green) of knowledge, remember their early associatiors, and look with kindly feelings on the companions of their infancy." (Hear, hear.) lie had lately attended an exaati nation which look place at one of the schools of the Society, and he assured the meeting that he never saw children who answered bet ter—that he never saw children who answered more appositely the questions put to them from the Saired wrLinees, and In such a way too as to show that what they said was not got up for the occasion. The Report was then adopted unminionsly. The Rev. S. Dwrotur, cf the United States of America, pro posed the next )(isolation. The Reveret.,l Gentleman detailed at some length the measures adopted by the American Government to promote education in that country. There there was no distinction between Catholic and Pi otestant ; every sect was allowed to pursue its own course unmolested in America; every village had its school, and in the. State with which he was nest acquainted every family, and not only every family, but every child, had its Bible. Ile was convinced that no Society was calculated to do more good than those whose anniversary they were celebrating ; and he was convinced that if its objects were better known it must receive com- mensurate support. Mr. MANTAKis. of Corfu, seconded the Resolution. It afforded him great pleasure to have an opportunity of returning thanks, in lois name and that of his countrymen, to the British public, for their kind exertions to instruct them, to teach them to read the Scriptures, and to regulate their action.: according to the moral lessons contained in that sacred volume. The light of education, through the Mfluence of this Society, was spreading itself over every country in tie universe. and more par ticularly over Greece, which Moe so long lain in darkness--(ireece, once the mother of arts and sciencen; that country feels grateful for the benevolence of England, and he trusted that she would not show herself undeserving the support she received. and that the generous feelings of his countrymen would testify their gratitude to this country for the kindness she now bestowed on her. (A o. plause.) The exertions of the Society were most successful; schools were established already in Argos and Athens. Oh, may Athens once more (exclaimed Mr. Maneakis) rival her former greatness ! May she once mare be the mother of arts and of heroes. (Applause.) May she once more hold tl:r.t eminence amongst the nations of the world which at one period her superior civilization entitled her to. Much was dune tor Greece by the Society ; a translation of the Testament in modern Greek, of which lie had been the editor, was now widely circulated through that country. He undertook the translation under the patronage of Mr. Allen, the Treasurer of the Society. (Ilear, hear.) He remembered meeting that benevolent individual some. years back at Corfu. when on his return from Russia, where lie had been unceasing in lois efforts to remove the darkness of ignorance. After sonic further remarks, Mr. Maneakis went on to say, that Ladies' Schools were particularly wanting in Greece. Ile trusted that the Ladies then present would interest themselves in their favour, and extend to those who ap proached so near to the English Ladies in elegance, the blessings of education. (Applause.) After again expressing the many ob ligations which Greece was under to the British and Foreign School Society, and also the many benefits conferred on it by Englishmen, and particularly by Lord Guilford, who established a seminary at Corfu, he implored the Meeting to persevere in their course of be nevolence, that the poor as well as the rich might receive instruction, and the darkness which so lung enveloped Greece gin e way to the light of civilization. (Applause.) The Rev. (I. CLAYTON moved the next resolution. Ile said that though it was ungrateful and disagreeable to his feelings to indulge, on such an occasion as the present, in tones of complaint, or strains of lamentation, still he could not sit down without ex pressing his regret at the small and inadequate support received by the Societe. Ile could not but complain that a Society calculated so admirably to extend the blessings of education, should in these halcyon days have to contend with crippled funds and limited corns. (Hear, hear.) He could not disguise from himself that the support which it received was not commensurate with its known claims on the charity and clemency of the community. The Rev. Gentleman, after remarking on the many obligations which the Society was under to his Grace the Duke of Sussex, who had so o f ten presided at its Anniversary Meetings, and lent on all occasions his warmest support to its objects, said that that illustri ous individual must, he was sure, have been kept away by busi ness the most pressing, from honouring them that day also with his presence. The Senate had, however, supplied them with a Chairman, whose virtues and talents must shed a lustre on any proceedings with which he was connected. The Society, he thanked God, wanted not patronage ; it already enjoyed the coun tenance and support of floe most exalted in the land. it wood not in need of patronage, but of the individual assistance of the moral and religious portion of the community. (Hear, hear.) Mark the progress of this- Society; it is not upheld by a party, nor does it contitie itself to the education of a particular party. No, it ex tends its exertions to tne instruction of all parties—of all re ligions—of all classes, and of all sects. (Great applause.) Thin is its rale, both in this and foreign countries, in its march it takes all tinder its wings. (Ii ear, heur, hear.) In the true spirit of Christian beneficence, it says, in the words of the great Redeemer, " I bring you all glad tidings." This Society gore forth in the garb of simplicity ; it puts not on gaudy para phernalia; it pretends not to go to great lengths in the instruction it affords. Some there are who wish it to bear the armour of Saul; but it prelims taking the little pebbles of the brook to de. stray the giant of ignorance. (Applause and laughter). After some further observation!' the Rev. Gentleman said, the Society was charged with mutilation of die Scriptures. Ile would tell the persons making such a charge, that selection was not mutilatirn. (Hear, hear.) He would tell them that the adaptation of particular passages of the Scripture% to the calibre of the youthful mind, was la, no means derogatory to the stared volume. (IL ar). Ile could not forget that in it there were ' , Mellows dim a lamb might fathom, and depths in which a Isev:athan might play (applause), that it contained " milk for babes and strong meat for men." (Hear, hear, hear.) We (said the Nev. Gentleman) make the moral passages of the Scripture the basis of our education—on that we build our moral instruction; and here let me say one word as to our Borough school : the system of that seminary has often been con founded with the Society, as it' all. its efforts were confined to it ; that school, Sir, is merely the head-quarters of it; but the depot at which our teachers receive that instruction which they go forth to disseminate in every country under the sun. Much though I al. noire the system of education adopted in that school, there are other considerations which excite my admiration still more. I admire, Sir, the grandness of the scheme, which compre hends the universe as its 'There of action, and wishes to shower the blessings of education on the inhabitants of every nation, however remote. (Applause). He was astonished that the funds of such a Society. increasing though he adml t.d they ware, did not exceed their present amount, particularly when other kindred societies were supported as they were. The II ble So ciety had an annual income of front ninety to one hundred thou sand pounds—the Missionary Society received 41,0001. a year. Did it then accord with the claims of equity, not to !my of gene rosily, whilst these institutions received such support, that the British and Foreign School Society had to proceed crippled in its means, and restricted in its funds. (Applause.) So much so that were It not for the noble beneficence of their Treasurer, the Society must long since have been stranded on an unrelenting shore. Ile wished most fervently that all present saw in the same light he di I the objects of the Society, and that they inoculated others with the same feeling. Then, indeed, the Society would have no reason to complain of inadequate funds. He implored them, however, inn to be disheartened. Ile remembered that the opening prospect was almost appalling and overpowering, and now lie rejoiced to see it assume a noligniticence which its most warm advocate could never have anticipated. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Gentleman lucre went into a detail of the Society's exertions in the islands of Ceylon atlii Madagascar. In the latter they met with unpoirallelled success ; the youths courted instruction. and showed a devotion to the study of the arts which would confer honour on the most civilized nation. South America too opened a wide field for im provement. In Colombia much had been done. and so eneceotsforl svu the Society in Quito, that ar the present moment a public moms:cry was occupied by a Bible School.

To proof of this observation, he adverted to a statement which bed Yea made at a public meet ing the other day. That statement comiesed ea comparison of the educated with the uneducated part of the population in the four provinees of that country. and the neMberof schools in each. In I Ulster, the most enlightened, and cemequently bat-regulated of the four, they were as 1 to 18 ; in Leinster as 1 in 86 • in Con. naught, which was invariably more disturbed than either Of the pre ceding provinces, as I in 183; but in Munster, which was the great scene of insubordination and insurrection, they were as I to 173. (Hear, hear.) The necessity of a well-educated population, in crier to secure peace and tranquillity to a country, was very evi dent from that statement, He turned with peculiar pleasure to the exertions making to enlighten the people of South America, through the medium of this and other similar 'Patience. The pro gress of those principles in every quarter of the globe must be preg nant with delight to every Christian mind. There were two sys tems of education which were commonly acted upon—the Madras and the English system. It was not his desire to give the pre ference to either ; they had both been the vehicles of great good, and were like two streams taking their rise from the same fountain, and running, one through one portion of the world, and the other through a different quarter, hut both carry ing with them the great est advantages. (Hear, hear.) Since the period of his coming to I England, he had witnessed with pleasure many public meetings of a kind similar to the presennand in all he had been delighted with 1 the spirit of unanimity that appeared to prevail. With those sen timents he contemplated the progress of the present Institution with unalloyed feelings of delight. He wished the two streams might continue to flow on successfully, and both proceed in their course till they reached their common end. The Resolution was then put from the Chair, and agreed to. NICHOLAS CACUARATO, a native of Cephalonia, and, as we understood, one of the native Greeks who had been brought over by Captain Blaquiere, and received instructions under the auspices of the Society, next addressed the meeting in a brief. but correct manner. He expressed the sentiments of gratitude and admiration entertainei by himself and his countrymen towards those benevo lent inch* , duals who devoted their valuable time, talents. and ex ertions in an attempt to promote the blessings of education among the nativ , s of Greece. 'I he object of those amiable persons WAS to raise thetr unhappy fellows from the state of degradation in which they were at present stark, and cause the sun once more to shine on Greece. ( Hear.) He bid only to repeat his own individual senti ments of graitude and thanks, and assure them that the Greeks appreciates! the exertions their benevolence led them to make in their canoe. !The young Greek, who was dressed in the national costume, and whose interesting manner appeared to excite the deep I attention and sympathy of the Meeting, then retired amid loud , I cheers.] 1 Er Srarsto RICF. M.P., rose and said, if he merely con suited the dictates of his own feelings he would not have obtruded , ' himself on their attention. but since lie had obtained a knowledge' of the principles aed objects of their Society he was fully e 013.: Tinted of its utility, and would be always ready to promote its interests to the utmost extent of his power. (Hear, hear.) He could not avoid congratulating the Aleeting on the pleasing scene they had just witnessed. It was truly delightful to see the young Greek who had just addressed the Meeting—their fellow creature, that was, their fellow-countryman, lie might say, as they had now trade him—',Hear)—it was, he repeated, truly pleasing to see him came forward in that place, with the symbol of their common faith', the cross, upon his breast, and to observe him led to love England, and to reflect that in future time he would be ready to serve her. (Cheers.) To extend education to other coun tries was only the discharge of a duty; but with respect to Greece, it was the payment of a debt which we owed her. (Ilea.) It was delightful to think, that in discharging our duty and obligations to that country, we were making a retut.i for the benefit and pleasure we had received front her hands. In return for those obligations, for the pleasure anti instruction afforded us in our youth by her mighty masters, hip were now sending to that country the word of eternal life, whici alone surpassed in beauty and iinportance the glorious works we had received from Greece. (Cheers.) (7on nected as he was with another country which had been mentioned in their Report, lie wished to offer a few observations relative to Ireland. lie had to thank the Gentleman who stated the diatins guishing principle of the British and Foreign School Society, which in his mind was its highest recommendation. 3lnst other institutions were more or less sectarian in their character. This Institution was not sectarian, but Christian. (Hear.) They bad not been induced, with a subtle and refined philosophy, to analyze the rays of light they transmitted. and separate them into their arena degrees of purple, blue, and violet. (Hear. hear, hear.) No, theirs had not been the separation of the light into its distinc tive and characteristic c llours; but the union of the sunshine, which was to bless, cheer, end animate the human race with the true light and heat of religious charity. (Loud cheers.) It was not their ob ject to force the conscience of any man—they merely assumed the benefit of education, but above all of religious education, and sought to extend it by promoting the circulation of extracts from the Scriptures, which enforced the moral principles about which all were agreed, and excluded the dcictrinal points, on which men might be permitted to differ. He felt convinced this was the just and proper system, and with reference to the Scripture lessons he had made them the basis of the education of his own children. (Cheers.) Ile was happy to say, that the cause of edu:ation pros pered in Ireland ; he could say this from his own observation, not withstanding it had been partially impeded by obstacles, which must ever exist in that country, till conciliation be nut only talked of hut acted upon. In his own part of the country, he knew in stances of many of the most deserving and infl uen tial of the Catholic people and priesthood. who out of their small ineans and their poverty, contributed all that could be spared, and gave their best exertions towards the education of the prier and ignorant. (Hear.) Ile knew one school, containing I.OOU boys, which was mainly sup ported by the exerions of the Catholic Clergy, and in which the Scripture lessons were taught. (Hear.) He trusted the Meeting would excuse him tor laying those facts before it, which he thought likely to correct some mistakes that existed on the subject. He had no doubt that the British and Foreign School Society had adopted a system which would filially recommend itself to Ireland. by the benefits it was calculated to confer. The Honourable Gentleman concluded with moving a resolution, indicative of the pleasure of the Meeting at the progress of education in Greece. 1 Sir. OTOSINET.L said he cheerfully obeyed the call - which had been made upon him, though it had not been his intention when he entered the room to take any active part in the proceedings of the meeting; not that lie meant to say lie had come among them without a wish to express his sentiments upon some facts relative to the treatment of his ill-fated country, hut he had not Expected the opportunity now aired. He had visited that room with the intention of being a silent witness of their procenlings, and if he now took a more prominent part in the business of the day, lie trusted lie should be able to restrain himself within the bounds of moderation. He implored the Hon. Chairman, if he found him ' indulging in blameable ebullitions of feeling, to prevent them ; and • it', in the recollection of the woes, the sufferings, and the atrocities inflicted on his unhappy country, his Feelings should get the better of his judgment, ' , e again appealed to the Hon/nimble Chair man to restrain him at such a moment with- , the bounds of order. He professed himself to have experienced unfeigned delight at many facts which had been laid before the Meeting. However they might elitkr upon peculiar opinions lie trusted they were all agreed and prepared to combine in extending the benefits of Christian education to the lower and more ignorant classes. (Hear.) He returned thanks to the Rev. Gentleman (Mr. Clayton) who had said that the only panacea for Ireland was conciliation. He would give the Learned and Rev. Gentleman a shorter word, and tell hint that what Ireland nanted was justice. (Hear.) It was also with great pleasure he had heard the free and independent subject of the United States (Mr. Dwight), with all the Repub lican simplicity of his manner, declare thst Catholic and Protestant were equally encouraged in his native land. He would be glad that his American friend would ge to the school for Statesmen, with which they had been threatened, and tell them that no danger existed from the equal encouragement of Catholics and Protestants. (Ilear.) He had felt equal pleasure in listeni• gto the Greek youth who had addressed the Sleeting . The recollections of his younger days had stolen on his memory when he seemed to himself to hear the living voice of Greece in the accents of her child. He • triumphed in the everts of this day is they respected Greece, and rejoiced that the turbaned monster no longer violated her fair fields. He looked with peculiar pleasure upon the struggles of that country fur liberty and indepenthence, because lie thought the fate of Europe and her independence intimately connected with that Cilla.C. What did they nut owe to that country, if they loved liberty and hated despotism; if the arts ' were dear to th e m they must love the country that produced them. In Greece the earliest poets sung, and heroes bled, and patriots showed that devotion to the country which had immortalised bait. lie would edvocate the cause of Grew, and invoke " 'rile shades of the illustrious dead, Ye who at Marathon and Lcuctra bled," to aid the efforts of their descendants. He would now return to Ireland—the land of blares, where there was no liberty, and a total want of justice, not the result of the ignorance of the people, but of the corruption of those who should admi nister it. He assured the Meeting a great deal of ignorance prevailed on the subject of Irish affairs in a far higher and inure cultivated country. The Learned Gelid-tun then proceeded to advert to the Monks and Sisters of Mercy who were insti tuted for the best purposes in Ireland, and whose services were effectual and available in the prosecution of their several object*. There was a school in Waterford upon this principle, in which 1,150 boys were educated. The Learned Gentleman then pro ceeded to allude to certain proceedings with respect to education in hdeivasiisionureduptohnenai subjecttha t he Ireland, as conducted by institutions distinct from the British and Foreign School Society ; and the remarks not appearing to be In h h a a i r i m t n o n i y i i s a p d os th i ti t the t t ee , 1 i t u l g c s it o e f an tt f leeting , of so much in.portance as that of education in the sister country. Ile thanked the Meeting fur the kind indulgence with which they hoard him. and wished to mention wily one tact in addition to what had before fallen from him : that admirable man estnblished a worm of education which he thought sufficient for a boy to get through in 1-1 years ; in the end he fourth that he miscalculated, and that the quickness of the children enabled them to acquire in eight years what he supposed them incapable of doing In lees than twice ilia: number. 'I he Learned limileman, alter some further observations, said he was tHIXiDDA to impress two facts upon the ticketing:-Ist, That education was widely disseminated in Ire land; and secondly, that it was wrong to attribute to them igno rance, when in troth there were, comparalivdy speshing, more people in Ireland who could read and write than in England or Scotland, sand Waimea sod turbulence crostsl this country, 11T.4 ...minium be. tween the Spartan and the Helot? The Learned Gentle man con. eluded a very eloquent and impressive address with seconding th e Resolution. The Rev. Mr. Poet then rose amidst cries of " order," from the Gentlemen around the Chair. Mr. ALLEN put it to Gentlemen whether the business of the Meeting was to be interrupted by debates on matter not connecter' with the Society in its objects. If they waited until the bust ness was regularly gone through, then there would be no objection to bear them. After another ineffectual effort on the part 01 the Rev. Mr. POPE— Mr. ALLEN proceeded. He said the Society had to make gre at struggles in its infancy: now owed but 2.009!. If they had that sum it would enable them to cancel their debt. I was objected to them that their system of education was too li m i ted, and that they did not go far enough in their instruction — Persons making that charge should bear in mind the extended field which the Society , ' had to watch over—that they undertook to educate the whole community ; with such small means they could not teach them the arts and sciences; they afforded them moral cultivation. At the same time he wished to inform the eeling, that it was the intention of the Society that the childrer, for the future, should devote every morning and evening to the learning some trade, which may enable them to support thernsel lee in future life, and enable them now to defray some of the expense of their education. (Hear. hear.) Ale. Allen then entered into a long and interesting detail of the objects and progress of the Society, and concluded with the expression of a hope, that these Gentler en who followed him would abstain from all political or controversial topics. Mr. ROCAPVERTE, from Mexico, moved, and The Rev. Mr. Iluatira seconded the two next Resolution.. Two other Resolutions were moved by the Rev. Mr. EvAN5Olr. and seconded by Mr. al tLLAR, who deprecated the introduction if any extraneous topic for the purpose of exciting a debate, and least of all did he or the Society wish that at its meetings an attack should be made on any other Institution. A vote of thanks sae then passed to the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN said, that if in the course of the debate belled allowed the introduction of any irrelevant matter he begged to apologise to the meeting for his remissness. He expre.sed thanks foe the very flattering compliment paid him, and declared the deep interest he took in the Society and its proceedings. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 9. The supply of all Grain was very short during last week, but this morning we had a large show of samples front Suthilk, Essex, and Kent, chiefly 'Wheat. The Mealing trade opened very dull this morning. which is principally attributed to the continuance of tine weather, which influences the minds of our buyers. The best runs were oftcred at much less prices than last Alardey, and the few sales efircsed were at a reduction in prices of 4s. to 5.. per quarter. and the middling and inferior samples from :is. to 6s. per quarter. We had but little demand for either malting or grinding Barley, and prices were the turn lower than this day week. Thellat trade was very heavy, and Is. per quarter cheaper on Friday; but at this decline there was some briskness in the sales to-day. Both Bea?' and Pease ruled very dull, without being materially lower In price from the quotation of last Monday. There was scarcely an inquiry for Ilapeseed or Linseed, and the latter article was chary. in Foreign Grain warehoused since May, 111.22, there was . •!7 doing, and the Wheat bonded previous to that period is for the present. Maw 9. There is a great deal of businers doing here this morning 1: 1 : 1 : 1 descriptions of Cattle. The show of Beef, as to quality, is in ferior to last week, and the very best go off in consequence readily at fa. per stone. The sale of Mutton is also brisk, and small Fon plete %Ye:hereof all kinds, but nothing else, fetch as. Bd. whim is 2d. beyond the price in our figure list. The Veal and Lamb trades ate in the mime lively state ; Calves of the choicest sines and qua lity are quickly purchased at eas. Gil.
