12VF-4NT SCHOOL SOCIETY. /the drat Anniversary of Om society was held at the Free masons' Tavern, Quees.street, of Saturday het. The Mar. quid of Lex snow N, President of the Society, took the Chair at one o'clock. His Lordship was supnorteet by Lord Cakhorpe..l. Smith, Eicq.,11.1 ) ., T. Money, Esq.lll.P., Mr. Sykes, ALP., Sir Gregory Lewin, Rev. Mr. Scanty , Rev. Mr. Irving, &c. dec. Mr. Brougham arrived about three o'clock, and was warmly cheered as he en. peed the mom. There was a numerous and elegant atteedsoce of ladles. The Canadian Chiefs were present, and were accommodated with oasts upon the platform. The Marquis a IsitaliDOWN, on taking the chair, begged leave as tenths attention of the Meeting to the Report of the progress of the Infant School., about to be read to them. The establishment of these settoole had been but lately attempted, and be was happy to add it had been attempted with success. (Hear. hear.) The uti.' bey of them had been tried by the satisfactory test of experience. Re would not further occupy the attention of the :Reefing until aftet the Report had been reed. Mr. Wi emir; then read the Report of the Society. It was very favourably received by the meeting. From this interesting decu. met we make the subjoined esteems. The following is illustra tive of the very great progress of the Society in the course of the last year " Since we met last year assistance has been given for the este. blishment of many schools in different parts of the country, and ap. plisitions for like help still continue to be received. Besides the infant settoole which existed a year since. similar means of moral and intellectual culture are now in operation at Brighton, Liver. _pool, Hereford, Shrewebury, Worcester, Rosa Bath, Chelsea, Chelmsford, Kidelermineter, Southampton, Woolwich, Mill-kill, in Teal-street. and at Hackney, measures have been taken to prepare like instruments of good for thousands, who without them could hardly he expected to receive that preventive core and moral culture which their own present wants and the prospettee claims of society demands." The following instance of individual benevolence is too merito- Miss and too conspicuous not to be noticed and highly coin. mended. After stating the amount of the receipts to be 1,11136/. the Report proceeds In smcledidg this part of their Report, your Committee deem it well calculated to ensturage all who wish well to this Inetitutiem. When our agent went to Hereford, a lady, named Hooper, request. ed explanation from hint; and having been made ac q uainted with the aster, and practicability of our plans, she mire:used premises at an 'Kosice of T,3410/.. and caused them to be immediately fitted up. and opened as an infant school. What render. this act mote interesting is, that this lady is a descendant of Bishop Hooper, Mho with his brother reformers successfully la:toured to enligh en the people of this nation oo the subjects of civil and religious liberty • and has thus evinced, that a. she has inherited the name of be; honoured ancestor, she is a partaker also of his love cot his fellow. matures, and oi his willingness to give himself and his substance to promote their present and future welfare." The Report concludes by congratulating the Society on the sue. ens that has crow aed their past exertions, which it holds out as the best inducement to persevere, and thereby secure the perma nent sucesu of the undertaking. Mr.J.S Kyr it, M. P. in proposing the first resnlotinn, regretted that his Hon. Friend (M r. Brougham) was prevented by his engagements , in Calm from presenting it to their notice. it his Hon. Friend were present he would teed pleasure in congratulating the Society on the rapid pragrees it had made, and in enlarging upon the many useful objects of this excellent Institution. They had learned from the Report the great increase of schools for infant education during the last year, and the sucrose that had everwhere accompanied their introduction. Nor was it the children a l one who profited by these t schools, but wherever they were established the feelings of the pa. rents towards their children, and their regard for theni. was more af fectionate and attentive. The great object to be secured to insure the success of these school. was, that the masters or mistresses of them should be persons of kind feeling ; that they should he patient, I benevolent, capable of feeling high principles, and of acting from them—so that they might deal leniently towardi persons of the tender age entrusted to their care. The Society could not forget I that at its formation they had encountered great difficulty and con siderable opposition, but that opposition was nor yielding before the tried utility of the system it had adopted ; and they now new per. sons of the fitst distinction and rank in the country coming forward and supporting the principles which it had originally promoted, upon which the Society was formed, and by which it had prospered. The Hon. Gentleman instanced the echoed of Mr. VI ilson as a successful example, illustrative of the practical utility of the Insti. tution, and expressed his confidence in the permanent success of the Society, in spite of the prejudices by which it had been, and by which even in some quarters It was still, opposed. He concluded by moving the following resolution—" That the Report time read be received, and printed under the direction of the Committee." Mr. SY are, aI.P. in mending the motion, felt it was unneces sary to debate upon the merits of this Society. He would therefore confine himself to a recommendation of the principles of the Insti tution, which presented mote claims to support than any that for a considerable time back had been introduced to the notice of the public. At first, he was free to confess that the plan of infunine education had something startling in lt, but this error was corrected by experience—by seeing childrea from the tender age of 10 months, and two and three years, imbibing feelings and sentiments of benevo. hence. He war glad to find that the institution was patronised by maim high perionages, particularlyby two enifnent prelates, ,by the chief Magistrate of this magnificent city, and by many other persons of exalted rank t and he, (Ilt. S.) wassadsfied, that their uo!kipa ekets of the advantages of this Institution would not be disappointed. Nor were the advantages of )t positive only—there were negative advantages also to be derived from it. These would be found in the diminution of juvenile delinquency. He would state an in. stance which had conic under his own knowledge, which would il lustrate this position. Some time time ago lie had presided as Chairman of A Quarter Sessions : a boy of only eight years of age was tried on a charge of felony—he was convicted on the clearest evidence. After his conviction, he, Mr. S.) called the boy to biro, and conversed with him on the kind of life he had led ; he was told by the boy that be had been habitually engaged in the com =halm of felonies; and, with the utmost flippancy, he enumt rated fifty felonies which he had perpetrated. `l Hear, hear.) If this boy had been educated, or received the blessings which could be dc rived from such an institution as the present, there was every eta son to hope that he would not have been led to the perpetration of such crimes. He was apprehensive that too many instances of a si. milar kind could be easily enumerated, and found in many parts of the country, particularly in London, which made it more incum. bent on the inhabitants of this metropolis to he foremost in support of the present Society. (Hear. hear.) Mr. RUTT was desirous of bearing his testimony is entire ap. proral of the present Society and of its principles. It tended to promote what ought to be the object of all good Governments—the extension of knowledge amongst all classes of society, and the sr fording to every member of the State a fair opportunity of ad. t mincing himself in the community to which he belonged, by his virtue or hi. talents. (Hear, hear.) He was glad to see the Noble Lord who presided now occupy the chair on such an occasion. It was natural that he should be found the promoter of such a Society, as he was the descendant of an eminent person (Sir %{'. Petty) who had laboured succesifully, with Hartelh end others, to diffuse the blessings of general education to all classes of the community. and foe which exertion he was entitled more to the thanks of this coun try than any of the steel-clad Barons who had wrung Magna Charts :Tom the tyrant John, of which we were so boastful. (iese, hear.) He formed a contrast to another Noble Lord at the beginning of the late reign (Lord Grenville Carteret), who was adverse to cha rity schools, but who was consistent in his opposition, for at the same time that be was hostile to the enlightenment of the minds of the people, he was also hostile to the emancipation and enlighten ment of th e: slaves, ea he imprehended that If they became once en. lightened they wntild no longer be good slaves. Ile concluded by tneotioning, as an illustration of the r od drecta of the present system of education sot pled by this Society, the circuit). stance of having gone into one of their schools, and having asked a child of only three years of age if he thought God saw him when be slept / To which the child replied, " Yes, for he never sleepeth." (Applause.) Lord CASTES:Mei proposed the second Resolution. He congra tulated the semmy. on the success that had attended its exertions, and en the gratify ing fact that the utility and practicability of their plan hod been proved to demonstratien. The Noble Lord took a brief review of the progress of the Society, and concluded by mov ing that the Meeting receive with gratification the intelligence from &fermi pleb of the kingdom of the formation of infant schools, and the taadmeey from all those benevolent persona who have been interested .ke test establishment, of the very great advantage re sulting from them. ded the Resolution. and in approving of the rinciples of the Society. expressed his opinion as to the instruction that ought to be promoted in theme infant schools. It was not merely physical education to which they ought to confine them selves—that is, to a knowledge of nature and of the things about them, but also to moral and religions instruction, which, as a re ligious man, he should lay down as it Idispensible, and which would be found to tun these children here, fter for any purpose, political or social, wherein t h e y ma y b e called to act. He begged to state to the Meeting a successful experiment which he bad made, to esta blish a school according to the principles of this Society in one of the moat disreputed districts of Loniloo—that of Billingsgate. He had, together with two ladies, engaged in this undertaking, and he seas happy to stare that they had, wt.erever they had gone, met with generally a favourable and always a kind recepticn from those they visited. He recommended similar exertions to be resorted to in other districts, and had no doubt but that they would succeed. Sir ChtEGOIT LIWIN eloquently eulogised the support the Society had received from the ladle d. In addition to the tes timony borne by the Reverend Gentleman (Mr. Irving) to the advantages derived from an infant school in London, he could add the testimony of his experience in Yorkshire and Lincoln be was also happy to state that in Ireland a school had been established under the patronage of an eminent lady of rank (Lady Powerscoun). where fifty little children were receiving *be blessings of that species of education which this So eiety were sentious to promote. He had also to state, that although in the first Instance some opposition had been given by the Roman Catholic clergyman, when the principles of the Society were un denten& they had received his support. ( Hear, hear.) This So eiety had his best wishes, and should receive his most earnest sup port. He concluded by moving the following Resolution :—" That this meeting witnesses with sincere pleasure the interest the ladies of Ate reentry are generally taking in forwarding the designs of this Society, both by their liberal subscriptions, and by their personal at tendance at the schools, they were entitled to its wannest thanks, fur their promotion of the objects arid interests of the Society." Mr. BIOGGRANI rose to second the resolution. and was, on coming forward, warmly applauded by the Meeting. lie apokelo the following effect :—lt is with great pleasure that I rise to second the eltninticett which my Hon. Friend (Su O. L.) has broright forward ~,~! • 1=i,•1••• • • - THE BRITISH PRESS. in a manner equally creditable ,to the excellence of his understand ing and the goodness Of his hetet. I feel peculiar pleasure in con gratulating this Society on the very great progress it has mrde stage we last met here--a progress which proves how. efficacious has bees the system we have adopted, and at the same time evinces a disposition on the part of the people to promote the objects of the Institution, which 1 have ever deemed of paramount importance. and which I have always had closely at heart—the education of the poor. Next to the support we have received, l• look upon the opposition we have met with as another symptom of our success. We have been opposed in this undertaking. and opposed, too, in a quarter in which we have been opposed before. Mr. ST APi 1. r suggested that Mr. Brougham meant to say "sup ported before." Mr. Ba oe ea Ira st—No, I mean no such thing—l mean, "opposed before." Support was one sympto a of oneness and was useful ; but opposition was another symptom of success, and was also some times useful I mean to give those who oppose us full credit for their consistency ; and indeed when the opposition has been con. ducted with the candour and liberality which it has been on this occasion, it is highly serviceable. I cannot in much call it opposition, as the soggestion of some doubts as to the usefulness and practicability of the plan we have adopted. Such an antago nist have I found in • Rev. Gentleman, a Clergyman of th e E s . ! tithilshed Church, et Rath, who has done me the honour to address • letter to me on the subject of education. My Reverend Friend a gentleman for whose talents I have a high respect. expresses him. self hostile to the establishment of Infant Schools. I cannot but think the Rev. Gentleman-has net well weighed the eysteta, a hich he says is one of prennoure education, and which has a tendency (to use his own expression) to make the children " priggish little animals ." Now the precise in:ening of this word " pnycgish" I own I de not profess to undentehd ; (a laugh,) but 1 suppose that the meaning lie wishes to convey by it is that the children in these schools are pert, formal, and mechanical little persons. Now I can assure him it it no such thing, anti if the Rev. Gentleman will . only go into one of these Infant Schools, he will find that lie never saw children leas stiff titan they are, leas formal, or to use his own phrase, less priggish. (Laughter.) I can give him the as. susa'ice of my personal experience, that such is the fact, that the chttiren are easy and natural, and that the treatment they receive is that which is Lest for them and most agreeable to them. As I ha ye not really time to answer the Rev. Gent, by letter, I hope h e will take this explanation as a reply hi his communication. It is gratifying, however, to know that all the Clergymen of the Es tablieheil Church do not lake the same view as this Bee. Gentleman on the euliject of lancing education. As formerly, when Joseph Lancaster the Dissenter. took tip the subject of national education. the Clergy of the Established Church were unwilling to be outdone by the Dissenters, and they took up what it was very fitting for them to take LW, the subject of national education; so now they evinced a disposition to engage in infantine ' educatkm, and I heartily wish them every success. I hope that with us they may run an honourable rivalry; and I shall not be jealous, hot Isbell rejoice. if their exertions exceed ours. Scarcely six years have elapsed since my Noble Friend who now tills the Shaw. Int Hon. Friend (Mr. I. Southend myself, established the infant echoed in ‘Vestminster; and we have already not only ex perienced the good effects of its institution, but we have seen its excellent fruit also in the convention' of so leas a body than the Very Reverend Bench of Bishops (it laugh.) It was with infinite pleasure .hat ate meeting for establishing infant schools in London I perceive that tine Bishop moved and another seconded the resolu tion. Conduct like this deserves the highest commendation, and a greater act of charity and of useful benevolence they could not perform, though they were to live for lire hundred years, and to flourish all the time (a laugh.) It is by such conduct, truly Christian and truly episcopal, that they proved themselves worthy to watch over the care of souls, and to lie at the head of the Church of which they . were the earthly superintendents. This rivalry in good actions is a most gratifying spfctacle, and I will prove the sincerity of my admiration. for their conduct by sending them my mite on Monde), next. as a test of the sincerity of my praise of their conduct. The Right Rev. persons to whom I allude are the Bishop of London and the Bishop of Chester (hear, hear.) The former is, by virtue of his situation, peculiarly entrusted with the education of the children of the metropolis, and the latter is identified with its interests as Rector of the extensive pariah of Bishopsgate. They are amongst the moat plots- and learned of the Bench of Bishops; although 1 differ from them on many political subjects, and on re ligious questions too, I mean religious as applicable to questions of the policy of Church goverhment in some respects, yet I am glad on this °tension to bear testimony to their meritorious conduct, and I rejoice that in the glorious work of the extension of educe thin they are fellow-labourers with me. (Cheers.) I agree with my Reverend Friend Ihir. Irving) that the instruction in these schools ought to be most liberal ; that persons of all religious per suasions might resort to them, and that the religious hasons taught there should be such only as the members of all Christian creeds were agreed upon. The mysteries of no particular sect should be introduced into these schools ; they might safely and properly be reserved for aher-acquirement. iThe Resolution refers to the assist. 14 , CC which the Society had received from the cooperation of the ladies ; their services were invaluable from the natural advantages which their disposition and feelings gave them in treatment toward, those who were to be the objects of the Society's bounty. I hope they will not relax in their exertions, and that the great advantage which their sex will, in a peculiar manner, derive from this Society, will stimulate than to persevere. (Rear, Lear.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman in concinsion begged to add his recommen dation to that of his Reverend Friend Air. Irving, that they would Inc:quote infant schools in their respective districts ; that ogle district would, as it were. vie in the good work with another. By this arrangement and attention to local interest* the success of their undertaking 'maid be better secured by concentrating their force, than if they were to extend it, and thereby weaken it, over a large and unlimited tract of country, which would cause a jostling and conflsction of interests. (The lion. Gentleman sat down amidst general applause, and shortly afterwards retired from the Meeting.] The Rev. Mr. Sr•stLe eulogised the objects of the Institution in proposing the 4th Resolution, which was to the following effect: 1 --`"Fhat from the Increased interest taken throughout the king dom in the design of this Society, this Meeting strongly recom mends to the Committee to carry auto effect, as soon as circum stances permit, the Resolution of last Meeting, to erect a Central School at which Masters and Mistresses may be properly in structed. as this Meeting is fully convinced that the success of the system chiefly depends upon the efficacy of those who are entrusted with the education of the children." Mr. W. T. Mom IT seconded the Resolution, which was unani mously carried. The Marquis of LANSDOW N here intimated to the meeting that he was obliged to retire. He could not depart, however, without congratulating the Society on the success it had experienced. At first be had himself doubts of the utility. or rather the practicabi lity, of the plan i experience had removed those doubts ; but it was a reason why he should be more indulgent to the doubts of others.— (II ear hear.) lie would beg to cniclude by reading a letter which had ban handed to him since he came into the meeting. which was beautifully illustrative of the benevolent objects of the Society. The Noble Lord then read the following extract from the Spec tator:- LONDON LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTE. On Friday evening, after Mr. IPCulloch had concluded a course of lectures, the object of which was to show the great importance of the cultivation of commercial science, and of the employment of the leisure time of the metropolitan youth in the acquisition of knowledge, • meeting ties held at the City of London Coffee house, tor the purpose of considering the propriety of establish• ing a new Institution for those engaged in commercial and profess axonal pursuits, upon the plan of the 31echatiies' Inatirtite A number of the most respectable merchants, bankers, and traders, were present, sod between 000 and 71W of the young men beking ing to mercantile concerns. Joint Satyrs', Esq. 31.1'. in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said, that although he might not feel himself equal to the task of previding aver so numerous and respectable a meeting.,•yet no one could feel more deeply the importmee of the I object which called them together. '1 same spiritrthat gave rise to this meeting was extensively manifested in other parts of the country; and he doubted notjhat Inathutions of this nature would form the basis of infinite grosperity and happiness to the country at large (Cheers.) If thenrwas any truth in the stafements of the most profound observers of human nature. it rnitit be relied upon, that is proportion as man was intelligent lie in virtuous; and he need scarcely add. that in proportion to his virtue was his happiness. (Applause.) The day was past when those above them viewed intellectual cultivation as befitting only.* few privileged persons. A spirit of rational inquiry had gone, abroad. Its pro gress was irresistible. But he beliesed there was a general desire, founded on a conviction of its generd utility, that this spirit should be extended to all. He declared that nothing could be more bene ficial in this commercial city than a cultivation of the philosophical principles of commercial science, Mid that the vast mass of respect able youth in the middle rank in the metrapulia could not occupy their leisure time more advantageously to themselves. or more agreeably, than in the cultivation of polite literature, and the pur suit of that course of study which it was the object of chit institu lien to promote. In conclusion, he declared that no exertion should be wanting, on his part, to forward the interests of such an institu tion : and lie trusted he should manifest his teal by unceasing efforts. Mr. G. GROTZ, of the firm of Grote and Pre,cot, rose to pro. pose the fist Hrtielution declaratory of the opinion of the Meeting. that the cultivation of useful knowledge was the bent means of pro. moting the Itarminess and prosperity of a people; and that an Insti tution be row formed for the promotion of such knowledge amongst youth engaged in commercial and professional pursuits. Mr. 11. GILBERT objected to the wording of the Resolution, and proposed that the elms for w...otit the Institution was more es pecially intended, namely, the merchant,' and bankera' clerks, should be more prominently mentioned. It was one of the laws of the Mechanic. Institute that the control should be vested in a Com mittee, two-thirds of which, at least, should be mechanics. He hoped that &similar regulation would be adopted in thin Institution. This proposition was warmly opposed by a great number in the room, who felt that it would operate as an exclusion to them, and it was stated that the Institution would no doubt be conducted in such a manner as to afford useful instruction and entertainment to persons of every class, commercial and professional. Mr. Gilbert's, proposition fell to the ground. JOHN ABEL seconded the original motion in a speech warmly eul ,gising the plan.—Carried unanimously. G. P•ISCOTT. Esq. proposed that a Provisional Committee, at the head of which were Doctor Gilchrist and Doctor Black. should be appointed to frame a set of laws tor the Institution, and that in the course of the month a meeting of those who should be come subscribers should be held to decide on their adoption. He said the advantages of such an Institution could scarcely be over rated. There were many of the most respectable men who took a deep interest in it, and from the attendance that evening its success was beyond all doubt. W.ll' HIT MORE, Esq. (the banker) seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Dr. GILCHRIST, in moving the thanks of the meeting to Mr. M'Culloch, said, these who were present had heard that gentleman, a circumstance which rendered it unnecessary for him to say one word in support of the motion. Doctor SPICA/ seconded the motion, which was carried unani mously. Doctor BLACK moved the thanks to the Chairman, whose name was ever teen, whose voice was ever exerted, and whose purse was ever open, to aid the cause of improvement. Mt. 31•CuLLOCU seconded the motion, which was carried by ac clamation. The CHAIRMAN. in returning thanks, said he had been a trader in this city upwards of forty years. During that time he had ob served a gradual improvement in the feeling., manners, customs, and general habits of his fellow-citizens ; but now they were ad vancing Witt, an accelerated pace he had never before witnessed. For his ►ervices he was richly overpaid by having the honour of presiding at the formation of an Institution, in which would be found an active, and be hoped not an inefficient member. The meeting then separated, after upwards of two hundred had paid their sabseription►. " Would you do e handsome thing without return ? do it for an infant that is not sensible of the obligation. Would you ilo it for the public good ? do it for one who will be an honest artificer. Would you do it for the sake of (leaven? give it for one who shall be insueeted in the worship of Him for whose sake you gave it." The Noble Lord then retired from the meeting, atter which J. SMITH, Esq. M.P. was called to the Chair. Dr. BIRNIIECI proposed the fifth Resolution. He thought the main advantage of the Society consisted in preserving the good health of the children, and of imparting to them a good temper, the chief ingredients of human happiness. If the romanti.: and melan choly poet, Young, had seen these children, and the tendency of these schools to promote their future welfare, he would not have '` How sad a eight is human happiness To him who looks beyond the hour." --(Appleute.)--He begged to propose the following Resolution, which was duly seconded, andunanimously carried : " That the thanks of this Meeting he presented to the Trea surer Samuel Loire, Esq., to Mr. James (heaves. Provisional Secretary, and to the Committee, for their past services. That Samuel Hoer , E..q and Mr. Jame, °rearm, be reinested to con. unite their services to this Society, and tthat the following Gentle men be the Committee for them:timing year : Right Hon.

Allen, Esq. I Joseph Wilson. Esq. Mr. WittioN eulogised the services of the Marquis of Lana. down, to whose kind patronage the Society was mainly indebted for the success that it had met with throughout the country. He begged to propose the 6th Resolution, which was seconded by Mr. • STAN LY, and unanimously carried— " That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be presented to the Most Noble the Marquis of Lansdown, President of this Society, and to J. Smith, Esq. AI.P., for the seal with which his Lordship and the Hon. Gentleman have espoused the cause of this lnsti. tution, and for his Lordship's and Mr. Smith's obliging attention to the tinniness of this day." The Meeting then separated at four o'clock. The Joan Ball states that Mr. Dyson, one of the clerks of the House of Commons, is the author of the novel of Trentaine. Saturday being the 4th of June the young gentlemen of Eton College had their annual regatta. An article in the rrankpl Journal of the 29th ult. dated Berlin, May 24, states that the two Chinese, who are at Halle, had asked the King's permission to be in structed in the Chr'Atiati Religion. After having received, for ten months, instruction from the Rev. M. Tremann, they were baptised with great solemnity on Ascension Day, in a numerous Assembly of the Clergy and Civil Authori ties, and on the Sunday following received the Sacrament in St. George's Church.

We extract it for the purpose of extending, as widely as possible, the useful suggestion it contains:— It is spins time since I first entertained the idea ordispensing wi:h brick chimney., and substituting metallic flue pipes; sod which has, upon mature refl.etion, established such a conviction in my mind, of Its great utility, that I cannot forbear communicating my views of its imporouhe to the Economy end comfort first suggested to mg this idea ; and, upon due consideration, I am perfectly convinced that the interest anti happiness of society are materially connected with it. It is not contemplated by this improvement, to deprive the par lours and drawino-rooms of their present elegant marble tire-pieces and grates, if they should still be preferred —nor of the cheap wooden breast-works. But when brick chimneys are dispensed with, it will afford opportunities for tha construction of open marble fire places, of a much cheaper, neater, and more ornamental con struction, than the present style admits of. I would reconsinend that brick and mortar should be entirely abolished in the lire departments of all houses; and that the whole tire-place and breast-work should be only composed of pieces of marble, or other stone, and metal—arid that those pieces should be so cut and framed. including the, grate or open stove, with iron 'backs, that they may be all united together with screws or clamps, or other ornamental metallic fastening.; or else so let into each other, as possibly to supersede the necessity of using any other means of connec ing them. The whole of the fire-place and breast work, which, when erected, should only project on far into rho room, or stand nut far from the wall, as to allow pipes from below to pass up behind them, and Os° leave a space for the air of the room to pass in under the grate, or at the sides of the fire-pl tee and pane all around the heated iron back, and so along up the tru e pipe, and thine out again into the room rariied near the ceiling ; thereby putting all the air in the room into active circulation, nick ing it perform a regular revolution, posing under the grate or fire places, gsttiois heated as it passes up mound the pipes• and coming oat again above ; thus enabling us no longer to lose the beneflt of that quiescent atmosphere of warns air, which so generally .arises to the ceiling, and there remains totally useless. This mode of building a fireplace, will admit of thei r being taken a part Wooer found necessary) without the least difficulty, and can be made to conform to the crifferppf tastes and wishes of the persons, who may be succeeding ourchaSers or occupant* of houses, by the mere sub. stitution of different piece". thrateby making fire-places, in fact, pnrtahle machines. In order to make the grate or lire-place send oat more heat into the room, let their backs be brought out so far that they would be nearly flush with the whole front of the fire-place, and at the centre part ofthe mandepiece and breast-work where the flue commences, be a little senri-choular projection, (of brass, for instance) to receive the smoke, whi c h wou ld s h ow the sides of the fire-place to be built anima flush with the wall. Instead of allowing the heat to pass as, is now the case, tram open fire places into brick chimneys, let it ascend through metallic Rue pipes from the height of the mantlepiece, which will give from sic to twelve feet (according to the height of the ceiling) of perpendicular flue pipes. But in lieu of the perpendicular pipe alone, supposing (as Is now frequently the case in offices and stores, &c.) the pipe should be carried up and brought down again once or twice, before it is carried into the upper rooms, thus lengthening the flue pipes perhaps twenty or thirty feet, you may throw great additional heat into the room. Pipes running up and down in this way are more difficult to be kept clean than perpendicular ones ; but if they should be preferred), I believe there is a way of introducing instru ments into the horizontal parts of the flue pipes, through holes near the elbows, which enables them to be easily cleansed. This same pipe to be continued through the upper atones, with branches leading off into other rooms, if found necessary (as is not un frequently the case i n public (Aces, storen, and oilier places of busi ness), and all finally leading into a metallic flue pipe or pipes in the garret, which might be made very oruamental to run out of the roof. A niche should be made, of suf f icient breadth and depth, accord ing to the thickness of the wall, from the bottom to the top of the house, to let those pipes pass up through, to avoid making any un necessary projections in to the rootlet. Upon thin plan, one fireplace, in its ordinary consumption of fuel, either of wood or coal, may be made to warm. nearly the whdle house, which now, in large drawing-rooms particularly, often, but very insufficiently affords the necessary hest to keep them tolerably comfortable in cold weather. I suppose it will be considered necessary to have open fire-places in i the upper stories of houses—firanted. Let them be constructed upon the same principle precisely, as those upon the first floor. the pipes running up in the same way, parallel wits those from below, to the top of the house, or otherwise connect them with the principal flue pipe from below, as the flues are often united in brick chimneys. A cellar kitchen fire, upon this plan, might be made to warm nearly the whole house; then the only fuel that would be necessary for consumption in the upper stories, would be principally that which people like to sit and gaze at as a cheerful companion able scene. An elegant fire-plan and breastwork upon this plan, which might be made to far surpass any we Dow have in drawing rooms for beauty, need project out into the room s o very little, and need be of such little width that it would throw into the room nearly, if not quite, three fourths of the number of square feet which at pre sentare so uselessly occupied by huge stacks of brick chimneys and projecting breastworks. The use of this kind of fire-place and flue-pipe would have an other very salutary effect, that is, of abolishing that wretched class of human beings the Chimney Sweepers, the very sight of whom, from their comfortless appearance in the streets, are shocking to the feelings of human nature. In order to do this you have only to fix a brush, corresponding with the diameter of the pipe, upon the end of a strong wire, and long enough when inserted in the bottom of the pipe to push the brush to the top of the house, that would completely cleanse the flue from top to bottom, and which might be done with the greatest ease by the servants of the house once a week, or oftener if necessary. This same brush may be introduced into the pipe front the top of the house, attached to a chain chain or cord, if found more expedient than inserting it from below. This important subject of abolishing Chimney Sweeprie has for many years attracted the attention of some of the most distinguished philanthropists in Europe; yet, notwithstanding their great and anceuing efforts, they have but partially discovered the means of effecting that moat laudable object. But lam perfectly persuaded that if those great philanthropists had but thought of substituting the common sheet iron flue-pipe for brick chimneys, upon die plan that I have recommended, that that most humane object would long since have been accomplished. 1 would cost much Jess money than brick chimneys, and would remedy all smoky houses. I have but very little doubt whether amoky houses do not very often arise from the flues in brick chimneys being too large, so much so as to admit of two counter currents passing through at the same time, the one of hosted or ratified air going up on one side o' the flue, and a cur rent of cold air, whose specific gravity occasions it to descend down on the other ; thus dragging smoke down with it into the room, to supply the vacuum which the ratified current has a tendency to create, when the cracks and crevices of the room are not sufficient to admit the requisite quantity of air to supply that vacuum. A pipe, seven or eight inches in diameter, for the fire-place °Can ordinary sized room, never would admit of those counter-currents, for the size of the flue-pipe then would be only just adequate to the quantum of smoke to be carried off, which, according to toy ideas upon those subjects, should always be in proportion to each other. In that case, the current up the pipe would chance to be so rapid, as to take tip all the smoke, except when a room is extremely tight; in that case, the admission of external air into the room through pipes coming in behind the fire-place, might furnish a good remedy. But rooms generally are open enough, after all the pains that are taken to prevent it, to admit all the air that is neees sary for health, and supply a flue pipe with su ffi cient draught to take up all the smoke thereby almost entirely superseding the necessity of ever having those air pipes. Tlris improvement of dispensing with brick chimneys, and in deed with brick and monsr too entirely from tine fire departments of houses, would give warm rooms almost immediately upon the fires being built--thereby instead of having cold breakfast rooms you would have them warm. Fires would be earlier built up by servants in the morning, for then there would be a much less dread of the cold--eonsequently families would rise mnch earlier than they now do, which possibly might tend to save the half, if not the whole of an hour of every day out of at least one half of the year ; If business halfthe h only, that wouldi soyears bo hours. In savinura. gof time in one year of 91 In pulling down brick chimneys to substitute pipe, the old bricks would more than abundantly pay for all the labour required for that operation. If that should be deemed expedient. that for a greater certainty of guarding houses against fire, and abolishing sweepers, let the iron pipes be introduced into the brick chimneys. and out of the top, as high as the present chimney pots, which may be done with a very trifling expense; and by stopping up the chimney around the pipe at the height of the ceiling of each story, and per forating the breast work of each room near the ailing, you get the rarified air returned back into the room the same as upon the plan of the pipes without chimneys. The dreadful calamities in cities, arising from free, often proceed from brick chimneys. The adoption of flue pipes upon the plan above recommended, would, I think, furnish an effectual remedy against many of such shocking disasters. Yours, &e. ROBERT LAIVRENCE.

In Hannler we behold 160,000 of our fellow-subjects bufrering uneer the immedite effects of one of the most awful dispensations of Providence perhaps on record, or to which a nation could be subjected, and to a people, too, destitute in a great measure Of natural or arti tieial resources. You, Gentlemen, I preaume, will require no apology for the freedom of these obsirvations, which I have been induced to urge, not only by tour own public invitation, but also from a conscientious sense of daty ; sad I shall only beg to add, that unless something be soon done, and well done, in favour of the wretched Hatroverisns, they will never be able to retrieve themselves from the abyss of misery in which the dreadful calarnity of last win ter has plunged them."
