His Royal Highness, ou taking the Chair, said, • that In. twosome" iss it that day 'levied the tuterest be felt in their object, as 1w (shouted under amen , diapririlion. which, were not the cell so strong, would have compelled him to remain at house.— , ( Applause.) Mr. Wm. A L LEI opened the business of the (lay. On the subject of education, he sail. there was now bat out opinion, and the only cmr•iderstiou nearly was. how that ol,nnuss could he best prii. rooted. The worthy Geutlemen proceeded t o en force, is an impressive manner. the necessity of closely festering and improvieg the habits of the lower classes of society, no whose morals end ac. lions ass mach of the well-being of the community depended ; and he asked ise what seamier could this great object be pr tad but by the general data. woo or Out-Mims among them. When it were ne cessary that this diffusion should embrace so wide ' alipberv, testimony was swat to be considered-..and whet sonsteus presented it.elf in this respect in so :Imposing alight as that of the British and Foreign School Society. where so much was done. and at as 'sewage !spew. in large schools. of no snore than ewe or we shillings for each person, and in smolt awes not exceeding eight or eime , Theme Schools were massaged by a proper system, . • Os a good General conducted the affisirs of ass army, by a Weil-directed application of t h e efforts of those who held subordinate rank under loin.

Ile forcibly urged the siecersity of endeavouring, as muds as 'Kimble, to identity the poorer clamed themselves in the undertaking, and - take from them whatever trivial pecuniary as. they could afford. He cu t.red notch at large tutu the present flourishing situation of the parent IromtiStiois, of which he was Treasurer, and the great itiisrmintition of education it had caused n il o v e r the 5r0,141. In Ireland it was proceeding rapidly ; ur France it was spreading every where through the &Wets of the Cover 00000 esst of that country; sit Spain, where their relict - Amiens§ were out saligniiw, something was yet &msg. Prince Esterhiszy, the Duke of Saxe-Weiniar, and other Princes, had taken * lively interest its its progress in Germany. Its the Fast and West Indies, the same happy prospect had been opened. Its America. where hitherto it was only known by books, its in detelice was felt so strongly, that the most esicou levies prospects were held out for practical instruc. taws to settle in that continent. In Africa it was also extending ; ested in the settlement of Sierra Leone. mere than 1,000 lead now been instructed. 'From Christophe, at Hayti, the most flattering cot 00000 unicateon had beets received through his Mi vaster, Count Limoinple, who had received an in. structor fur thew schools from this country, who. in Iris letter. expressed the anxiety of his master, " For the propagation of human knowledge, leaviag every person free to serve the Almighty its his owu manner."—(Great applarse.)—fle hoped, that, whatever rivalry existed between this Satiety end the National une, was a rivalry to do good—though he thought they had to complain of the efforts of some men. from the episcopacy dowse to the churchwarden, who had used miworthy efforts on the occasion ; even ploschial bounty was, he knew, denied to some of the pour who would cot send their children to the National Schools.— The worthy Geetleman concluded by paying jest tribute to the efforts of the Dukes of Kent and Sussex, who. as well as their Royal Father, had been ibe steady frietels of ibis Institution in its struggling days, and by proposing a Resolution for the formation of the new local Society. Mr. BUXTON seconded this mutton in ass elo quent speech. He forcibly pointed out the merit usable value of education, and its great moral in devisee its society. and illustrated its importance by referring within nor own kingdom to the different state of the pollutant's' of two countries, in one of which *ducat, 0000 was universal, and in tlw other but comparatively diffused—he meant Scotland and Ireland : in the former, industrious habits prevailed, and crime was happily but rare—its the latter, how defferent was the picture ! Ile had resided fur a considerable time in Ireland. In making the combo!' which he had drawn, he meant to cast no imputation upon her people. fur lie did not believe there was on the fate of the earth a people more highly gifted by nature in tenet of intellect, or with warmer or more susceptible hearts.—(dp plause.)—But the fault lay in the neglect of time interests of that country—she was now ne a rly 700 years under the rule of this country, to which it was a just reproach, that until lately the genera l education or her people was a subject of so little general consequence. The eloquent Gentleman concluded by saying, that much yet remained to lie done. but he referred to the efforts of last year its the north-east district, as 1111eWilig that per!,tser. once was only neceetiary to call forth that spirit of public benevolence, .which in this country was ever sure to attend It good cause.—(Applastse.) The Rev. H. F. BERNARD, sit proposing the second Resolution, enforced the necessity of active exertions in forth-erne of the interests of the New Institution. lie lila be was seconded by the Rev. Mr. liARTha. The Lord Bishop of Noewtot rose, and was re ceived with loud and reiterated applause. He mod, that he rose with peculiar satisfaction to make the motion which had been jest put into his hand, and when he stated to the Meeting that it was in tended to convey an acktiowledgment to their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Kent and Sussex for their constant support of public benevolence, he was sure they would agree to it with the same eatisfaction he kit at submitting it to their approbation.—(Great epplause.)—Before he sat down, he would trouble the Meeting with a few words on the business of the day. It had been very properly said, that there was stow no necessity of dwelling on the object of the Meeting, with a view to inculcate into any man's mind the necessity of a general diffusion of educa tion—all opposition to such au op • • had now happily ceased. In looking at this subject, he could not conceal the deep feeling of regret he had felt at perusing, a day or two ago, in one of the public prints, an account of the state of Newgate, sheeting the alarming prevalence of juvenile de pravity, where four childen were in irons, and under sentence of death, one of them not more then nine years of age. This was a fact call ing for the immediate attention of all good men—the evil called for the application of au immediate remedy, and he knew of but the spreading of the linititution then before them.—he knew of no other way but by the careful and ac tive diffusion of education among the lower daises, that this growing evil could be effectually met...-. w a s not now he repeated a question of doubt ful disputation, whether education be or be slot conducive to order or good morals to society. No snail was now so bereft of his senses as to make the *object a matter of argument. M'ell had the Le gislature of Pennsylvania tarter years ago laid down the wholesome maxim. that it was far better to pre vent crimes throb to puisish thefts, and that to inform and reform the illicit race eras better (hats to ',mush 111111 eater 11l ill ate it. They hail a line practical ex ample of the success of so besacv,ileist a plan in the state presented by it bn.li of their fellow christians, one of the most of whom had that day addressed them (Mr. Wm.

Fielding, who haul so ;natty years efficiently presided at the Bow-street (office, had otter told a friend of his (the Illshop's), that its the course of a very twig period, he had never brought before lout, its his in igisterial capacity, more than six Sontelitheo. Such was the state of education in that country, that proper subortlinetion was infused intothe minds of the people, and such world he al ways found the result of au nuiverod system of edit. cation. An allusion hail been made to the National System of Education, which was confined to those of the Established Church. Its limiting at that Insti tution. mud at the British a.i , l Foreign one, lie would not scruple this day, w the face of the pub lic, to avow his decided preference to the latter— (Great applause)--end to asset t its better chaitu to the appellation of National than the one which had it, however meritorious were its objects. He begged to be unequivocally understood as appre ciating the merits of the National System, and of being ready to do all in his power to promote it; but at the same bine he would not conceal his pre ference for this system, brcanse it had toothitig of exclusion in its plan or character.—(Applause.)— He ardently wished prosperity to both, and to the one would say, whets it spoke of the other, s. Go, thou and do likewise."—(App/tease./—They had the greatest encouragement from Royal patronage, particularly from that of their Royal Chierineis and his Royal Brother, who were the subject of the Re solution he held in his hand, and whose universal attention to every useful and charitable institution, had been bong and deeply acknowledged by every well-thinking being in this etilighteued metropolis. —(Great applause. j GEORGE BYNG, F.: , (1. M.P. seconded this mo tion, and concurred in the tribute it paid to three illustrious characters. thi the general mote of society in this country, he thought it more eir lightened in the tipper and middle clams, than the same ranks abroad—lint Ise feared that the lower classes at home were more prone to crime, than people of the seine station in other states. Ile was therefore strongly in favour of education, to remedy this evil. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex. iu returoing thanks, expressed the great pleasure lie felt at finding his name is-sot-Wed with his Royal Brother's in the motion which had just barn so flatteringly carried. If he endeavoured to follow up the view of education which had been so niuch better elucidated by the Gentleman who had pre ceded him. he would be only weakening the effect of what they had already heard. Ills Ilou. Friend near him (Mr. Byng), had just said, that he thought the lower classes of society in this country were more vicious than the same class elsewhere. This. his Royal Highness would deny. Ile was indeed free to admit that here there was a snore numerous list of crinsivals; but the reason of it was, that here the law takes cognizance ()fa far greater portion of minor offences than the laws of other States resider penal—and in tins alone the difference consisted.— It was the policy of this country honestly to expose a criminal, while in others they concealed them.—(Applause.)—As to the cause or educa tion, lie was satisfied it moist * 'enmity triumph; and. said his Royal Hightwss, in conclusion, " it shall triumph, and this to the only arbitrary word 1 still ever use."—(Great applause.) The Rev. Rowl.Aun RILL ruse to move the Thanks of the Meeting to the Marquis of Tats stock. It had been well said, that where educe tion prevailed, tiolvrtety mid industry flourished— where it was not found, barbarism blackened the surface of society, if that could be called society ~. - where every man resigned himself to his own pas-, sions sod depraved appetites. Solomon had, us his Book of Proverbs, most admirably .enforced the necessity of education, and described the desolate condition of man when divested of this blessing. Thousands of poor children were yet unedu cated, and from their ranks the lists of crime were daily filled. Among these poor wretches many a tine mind and good disposition may have been planted by nature, but left for the want of cultivation in a state of rank weed. As to the state of c this country, he would not say much—though he could hardly avoid tosschiog upon a measure which had agitated conflicting politicians, he meant the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Aer. If this was intended by Ministers as a means of removing the evils of the country, all he would say i►► answer was, that the expedient ap peared as rational as to burn London to exterminate the bugs.—/Loud laughter).—Let the people, lie would say, be educated, and then the few ignorant demagogues that lay at the bottom of society may rove about unnoticed and forgotten. Indeed, in point of personal convenience, the Government ought to look a little more to the education of the people; for it would save them a great deal of the trouble they are obliged to take, if they assisted effectively in promoting the general diffusion of knowledge, and then, with the blessing of God, the pour people would be able to govern themselves. The Noble Prelate liras him, the good Bishop of Norwich, was a better ('Mend to the Established Church than any of these who pretended to be the loudest bowlers in its support—(Applause/—he took a true view of the hest interests of society, and the most perfect view of the sound doctrines of Christianity, which as a Pastor it was his duty to inculcate.— (Load appluuse.)—He forgot to tell them what perhaps they all knew—(A laugh/—that the Mar quis of Tavistock, to whom he was about to move Thanks, was the heir apparent to the Duke of Bedford—a member of that illustrious House of Russell, which from generation to generation Eng lishu►en were taught to revere as the hereditary de pository of patriotism and virtue. There was no fear of soy Institution while it could boast such Patrons as this.—( Great applause.)—He begged pardon of the Royal Chairman, who was an enemy to long speeches, for making this long sort of a short sprech.—( Mach !caresser tau' appluuse.) Mr. Macxxum seconded this motion, which was unanimously carried. The Royal Chairman read a letter from the Marquis of Tavistock, lamenting his unavoidable absence from the Meeting, but enclosing his sub ►enptson of 201.—/Applause./ Several other Resolutions for appointing the different officers for the new Institution were then severally proposed and adopted. The Thanks of the Meeting were then voted to the Duke of Sussex fur his conduct its the Chair. His Royal Highness contributed 5/. to the funds of the Institution ; the Bishop of Norwich 3!. mutually, the same amount he gives to the Na tional Schools. S'evasal other • sums wept subscribed by the Ladies, who funned a large part of the numerous company presets'. REPRESENT4TION OF DURHAM. M. A. Taylor, Esq. has, in compliance s. ith the request of a large body of the freemen, offered limn self as a Casidida'e for the City of Durham, at the next General Election. On Tuesday se' ght Mr. Taylor met the freemen at the Town-hall, which was crowded to excess, when he addressed them in substance as follows, and was repeatedly inter' opted with land marks of approbation : Mr. TAYLOR, after acme introductory matter, said, that he had been long allied to the County of Durham by family ties and connexions, and by a strong interest which he always felt in rendering service when he had the power to do so ; and fur the many assurances he had received of having de served the good opinions of the frcemen of that city, lie had long had a desire to represent them in Par liament, and this desire arose front a consciousness that he would serve them faithfully. The time for a General Election was fast approaching; if Minis ters did not dissolve Pailiament till the end of its term, it would even then be dissolved in the pre seat year. He had been called upon, and he, therelorr, being now at liberty, thought A his duty to attend to the call. He wished to be understood as not coining forward soliciting their auffiages for the purpose of serving some selfish end. He bad no selfish interest to serve, and w9ulti serve no interest but that of his constituents and the country. No ! he had never gained one farthing by his seat in Pediment, but he had spew thousands. Promises were empty things, without they were acted up to. He appealed to the freemen, if he did not at all times, when applied to, do every thing to the ut most of his power for their interest.—(" Always ! always 1" front &Jima parts of the Hall.)—The poor soldier and arsloir, or their widows and orphans, in distress, had ever been objects of his particular care. He had done a great deal in procuring sums due from the Public Offices for soldiers' widows and others, and had succeeded after they themselves had repeatedly applied, when they received no other answer than a most imperative frown, with 4 4 You must call again, I am busy now."—(A laugh.)—The poor, and indeed every one who up. plied to him for his assistance, whether in Durham, Sunderland, Stockton, or Newcastle, or in any other place, always found IR him a ready warrior of their rights, and in rendering service he always felt great pleasure, particularly in such cases as were deverving of his attention and care. He bad seen many country gentlemen since he came into this neighbourhood, all of whom gave bum sanguine hopes 01 success. He did not conic to serve any party, he belonged to none—he came to serve the City of Durham, as requested, and let who would conic forward to oppose him, he had determined to stand to the last. It would be necessary for him to say something of his past conduct during a terrier of many years for his country. and of his present political opinions. Hr belonged to no party. Ile gut into Parliament by his own gond chanscier. He never gave his vote to MilMier*, but when he coaseiencioubly believed he was dung his country 4 service; si u l when he opposed . Isusstera s he fofluweil equally the dictates of a heart true to Isis country's cause. Tie had been frequently offered place, but he would never accept it. lie challenged any man to contradict him, and he would answer him.—(Applause.)— How did the freemen of Durham like the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act? This Act he had opposed in every stage of its progress through the House, as he conceived it an intrusion on the just rights of the subject, without any cause sufficient to warrant its being passed having been bhewn by Mosisters. [Mr. COOPER 1,-re presented himself, and said, the Suspension Act was the best Act ever passed. Upon this observation great confusion took place, mid hisses, groans, and cries of " Put him out !"—" Put him oat !" resounded from all parts of the Hall.] Mr. TAYLOR here interposed, and begged that the person should remain. that he might have the opportunity to answer him. He would ask him, if he would like to be dragged sway from the bosom of his family, shut up in a loathsome prism', where none of his friends or relations could have ac cess to him. and at the same time be kept igno rant ol• the offence he had committed, or when he would be brought to trial ? Mr. Taylor then endeavoured to exemplify his argument on the impropriety of the Suspension Act, by citing the cases of the stale prisoners, recently liberated by orders from the Secretary of State. He was a friend to Trial by Jury ; before twelve honest Jury men of his country no ocent mail need to be afraid of being arraigned. He was also a friend of peace, which he would always support. Ile would never go to war till compelled to it. But, how ever strongly lie might advocate peace, he would never see an insult, or act of violence committed on any of his Majesty's subjects, whether on a per son of rank, or on a poor sailor of the navy, either by a Spanish Potentate, or by any posies oil eattlu, without immediately offering protection to the ut jured, even at the price of war. He mss MI enemy to the tax upon property. During the war, what ever he thought of its justness, he did not think •the Property Tax could be done without ; but when the war was brought to a close, aml a proper opportunity servril, he never was wanting at his post, till he had succeeded in removing from the shoulders of his countrymen that most oppressive tax, which they hail so long borne with patience. When the proposal was brought forward by that excellent man, Mr. Fox, to double the original Five per Cent. Tax, lie had opposed it, us he could not conscientiously sanction such is measure. The Corn Bill be had opposed, becanse he considered its passing into a law, to be injurious to the poor and the mechanic. Did any of them like slavery ? He had, at all times, when the subject was brought before the House, taken an active part to abolish the Slave Tratle, and as there was still room for im provement in the present law on that subject, he would always use every possible means to obtain the complete abolition of that degrading trallio. Ile was an enemy to all sinecure places, and unmerited pensions. He detested the too frequent practice of putting into the pockets of worthless indirduals, thousands, and tens of thousands, wrung bum an impoverished people. He respected the Coostitu lion, and he thought that a limited Musearchy was the best Int the happiness of the people. He was a friend to religious toleration. as fur as it can be granted consistent with the safety of the State. Oil every occasion he had supported those meastsres which he thought was for the country's good, and he opposed, whatever be thought tended to destroy the liberty of the subject. He never gave los vote for unnecessary taxation, nor tar supplies of mousey, without knowing well to what purpose then• were to be applied. Ile was now sixty 'seals of age, an age which, he hoped, would screen hum t. o a ti e im putation of seltisburss, es sio man could think that lie wished to he their Representative for any gam. His property was not large, but it was sufficient to secure to him every comfort of this world which is sit cessary for man; and it was sufficient to make him independent. ll• they elected him, he wouud pledge Isis life to seive them homstly and faith fully. At the close of this speech die Meeting broke up, and Mr. Taylor was cheered as he passed through► the streets. About five o'clock on IYralnesday afternoon a most stun k ing accident happened near the live-mile stone on the Har row.road, w litre • waggon, heavily laden, happened to slop for some lime, in which interval a flue buy, about four years of age, being at play, unperceived by any liersati, twi•ted the iron chain at the tail of the waggon, whirls passed between the spokes of one of the wheels, round his neck. The wag goner drove on his team, when, horrid to relate, the anfor tunate child's head was conaplett ly severed from its body. Yesterday as Richard Jones, coachman to Captaiii Gras. of 79, Upper Berkeley-street, was driving th• earl iage along the New-read, Mary-le.Bone, the horses look fright. and ran away (he not being able to hold them), and threw him from the box, at the curlier of John -street, Berkeley-square; he was dashed against the wall with great violence, and was so much injured on his head and aid., that great doubts are entertained of his recovery. The hunter were stopped at the end of the road.

The fleet had met with no accidewt except the sinking of one or two of the baggage-boats, liVe refire t to state, that very uopleusant accounts have been received front the homeward-bound ship 8015018, Capt. liEritAm. The Captain was obliged to put tutu Port Louis, for two very substantial reasons—mutiny, and a dis abled ship.

After leaving this port the !lumps were kept continually going till time ship reached Port boils. To add to these misfortunes, a most serious mutiny broke out amongst her crew ou the /3d of Jnue. One of the men, it seems, struck the Captain during some altercation, upon which he was ordered to be put in irons ; this was positively negatived by the crew, who immediately struck, threw the irons overboard, went below, and refused to do any more duly during the voyage. The passengers were consequently compelled to assist in performing the ditties of the ship, and to keep regular watch till they providentially reached port.

JAN. 19. The Dublin Petition against the Window Tax will he delivered to Mr. Sltaw on Wednesday next. The sigiettureo, if placed in single columns. would extend to the length of one thousand feet. , It is understood that a Deputation will wait upon the Marquis of Dowsishire. at Hillsborough, with the Petition to the Lords. On Thursday evening his Excellency Earl felt hot honoured the party given by Mr. Peel, by his presence. It is scarcely ntersvery to add, that al. though numerous, it was moot select, and included whatever is distinguished fur rank. worth, and beauty, within the circle -of society. The 'uteri. htinnteut was worthy ef the 'guests, and was con ducted in that style of taste and splendour, that might be expected from the known character of their hospitable entertainer. It was, altogether, the most brilliant exhibition of the kind that was aver witnessed in this country. and the feelings with which the company withdrew, ate lute hour next morning, will he long recollected by them with pleasure, and are highly hondlarable to their distin guished host. Lord and Lady Castlecoate will give a grand dinner on Saturday, the 24th instant, to a large concourse of the fashionable world, at the Custom house.
