Verdict—" Accidental death." 13111178 M AND FOREIGN SCIIOOI..S'OCIETY. Yesterday the Twt•ntv.Bnt Anniversary Meeting of the British and Foreign School Society was held at the Freetown,'" Tavern, Great Queemstreet. At an early hour the Hall was crowded with Ladles and Gentlemen ; and soon after I 3 o'clock, the Committee entered upon the platform. Mr. CLAYTON then said, that hit Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex had promised to preside in the Chair upon the occasion, hut as he feared that he would not be in time to preside at the com mencement of the proceedings. he had motioned that Wm. Allen, Etq should take the Chair until his arrival. Wm. A t.t.s:sr. Esq , the Trecturer of the Society, was then elecictl to the Chair, and requested the attention of the 3leeting while the Secretory read the Report for the last year. 'fur Rev. 3lr. Cavan , then read the Report, which, after en. Wiring upon the utility of the Institution, stated that " In these schools Mtn bore and 3410 girls are educated. Since their first establishment, 113,122 boys and 7.89-2 girls have received instruction, snaking a total of 24,1/1.1; and they bear so high a character in the neighbourhood, that the number on the books is always full, and 119 children are at the present time waiting fur admission. '• f tts the Greek youths who were mentioned in the last Report, as having then resided a short time in the Central School, three were placed under the eine of benevolent gentlemen, who bad undertaken to bear. in whole or in part, the expenses of their education. One of them has been since compelled, through ill nets, to return to Greece. Seven still remain in the Society's house, and arc pursuing their studies with characteristic diligence and ardour. The progress they have already made is highly creditable, and furnishes another proof of the ef fi ciency of the littlish system in stimulating and intproving the human mind. Nicholas Vlacas, the young man who came with them, has re. turned to Greece, fully lualitied to teach the system to his country. men. •, The advantages at the Central School, as a training establish ment. have been eni 'yet) since the last annual meeting, by 23 individuals, three of whom were missionaries. Seventeen schools have Inen supplied with masters. and temporary assistance has been frequently renaered, when, by the illness of the teacher, or other 1 . 3U1101, it was required. The friends of the Society will doubtless be gratified by the information. that since the first establishment of your Institution, about 700 individuals have learned the system at the Central schools, most of whom am now %Nicely employed in promoting the education of the young.. Many of them are resident in foreign countries as missionaries. schoolmasters, &e. and have introduced the rift Ish system with much teal and efiect. " The Committee •are again under the painful necessity of ad verting to the crippled and exhausted state of the funds of their Society. Notwithstanding the utmost economy, the expenditure of the last year has amounted to 4:121. IN. 2d. more tlwu the actual receipts.• " The Society fbr Promoting the Education of the Poor In Ire land, meeting In Kildare-street, Dublin, founded on the same liberal principles as the British and Foreign School Society, and distinguished by its firm adherence to those principles, proceeds in its splendid career with unabated real. From the very able and interesting Report of that Society, lately published, your Com mittee learn, that during the year ending February 2, 1824. 281 new schools had been added to the list, calculated to contain 18.539 scholars; and that the whole number of schools under the patron age of the Society is 1.500, and the number of children instructed in them upwards of 100.000. It will be remembered that in all their schools the Holy Scriptures are read, without note or comme it. The sum of 11,1:14(,1. Bs. Id. had been expended in grants of mm ey or school.requisites. Two hundred masters anti one hundred and eight mistresses had been received into the training school during the year ; making a total of 1,171 teachers, male and female, who had received instruction since the establishment of the Institution, most of whom are now actively engaged in the work of education." `• Those teachers, who upon inspection, were found meritorious, received the award of gratuities, in proportion to their merits ; the sun thus expended antoonted to 11,3.58/. tis. lid. In the cheap book depsrttnent also, the progress during the last year has been entirely a :ii•f loory; the number of volumes issued from the Depository was 132.477, making the to:al. from the opening of the Depository, in Nwrember, 1817, of 1,080,933. This brief abstract of the pro. ceedises of a kindred Institution will, the Committee are per :waded, be received with unmingled pleasure by the members of the British and Foreign School Society. Tney feel assured that there will be among them but one opinion with regard to the principles, plane, and operations of the Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in Ireland ; they dectn it right to have their entire acquiescence in die system it has adopted, and their cordial gotel wishes for its increasing success; and they hope that the Committee and members of that Society well, to use the expressive language of their own Report, • above all things, and before all things, and in despite of all things. cling to their principles.' " " Since the last annual meting of this Society, the Commis sioners of Irish Education It - trlley have published their Report. The system of Instruction whica they recommend as best suited to the Irish population is mainly the saute as that adopted by the Kildare-creet Society, with these modifications, however, that the Commissioners advise the appointment of two masters to each school, one Protestant and the other Roman Catholic, and that the Scriptures should not he used iduring school hours. Your Com mittee retrain from offering any opinion on the general features of the plan suggested by the Cotnroissionere. Nevertheless, deeply impressed with the importance of a religious education, founded solely on the Scriptures, they must be permitted to say that they shoUld most earnestly deprecate the adoption of any system of in. struction, especially under the Sanction of the Legislature, in which the r.a.iieg of the Scripture did not form a prominent part. On this subject they !me the happiness to concur entirely in the sentiments expressed by the 'tight lion. the Earl of Liverpool on a late pub lic occs.sion, and with him, • cannot but look to religious educaliwa as the only sure foundation of all useful knowledge.' '• The excellent system of parochial instruction established in Sco - land soon after the Reformation must be viewed as the chief cause under the Divine blessing, of producing the high tone of moral character by which th at country has been long distinguished. The increase of the population, and the changes that have taken place in society since the period adverted to, have led to the forma. time of various benevulcnt Institutions, whose efforts have proved eminently succeseful. The Society for Promoting Education in ' the Highlands and Islands, formed in 1818, and recognizing simi. lar principles to your own, imparts the blessings of knowledge to 4.111)11 clialren, who asse.rble in 77 schools. The Model School at Inve ness, containing 323 children, flourishes under the superin. tendence of 3lr. Chutes Pickton, whose labours in New York have been noticed in fernier Reports. A punk examination, which took place last year, affnaled pleasing evidence of the good progress of the children, and the assiduous zeal of the teacher. Under the patronage of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge there are 284 scOnols, containing 13,541 scholars. The Edinburgh Gae lic School Society has 83 schools, with 40011 pupils; and by the Glasgow School Society 43 schools are supported, containing about 20SO children. In all these schools, an your Committee believe, the Holy Scriptures are constantly read." '• Your Committee have no new information to communicate relative to the Schools in Poland. In Germany and Prussia the instruction of the young is secured by law. In the Netherlands the British system is now firmly established. The Model Schools at Brussels, with residences for the master and mistress, are now completed, and the system is in rail action. In addition to the ordinary branches of instruction, the boys are taught architectural drawing and vocal music. Handsome donations from the King, the Princes, and the town of Brussels, testify that the importance of elucalion is appreciated, and the excellence of the British system acknowledged. . _ " Since the last annual Meeting, elementary lessons in spelling, reading, and arithmetic, have been prepared in modern Greek, ready to be used as soon as opportunity offers. They have also sent a supply of slates and lessons to Athens, for the use of the Schools established there. Several letters have been received from bleorgius Constantine, whose departure for Greece was mentioned in the last Report. lie was first stationed at Trip 1iT7.11, where he soon established a School, containing one hundred and twenty children. Their Fevre's, and the good or der and subortlin..t on preserved in the school, excited much asto nishment an er the inhabitants. The pleasing prospect was, how ever, quickly beclouded by Pie approach of the enemy, And Con standee was obligAl to leave the place. The Government have pro posed to establish under his care a school, at Napoli di Romania, and to employ him in teaching the British system to young men who will be sent to him for that purpose trom various parts of. Greece. Your Committee have been much pleased with the letters of this yountman, evincing a piety and zeal, from which the best fruits may be expected ; they trust his life is spared for long use fulness. It is• also their duty to notice the interest taken in education by the Greek Legislature and the desire to enjoy its benefits, inanifksteil by the tuition at large. A Cm tral School hat been established at Argos, and an Inspector. General of Puolic Instruction appointed. The schools at Athens contain 400 scholars. School. have also been opened at Gastouni, Missolonghi, and other places. 111 hen it shall please the Al. mighty to break the arm of the oppressor, and to let the captive go free,' the general establishment of schools on the British system will be the means of conferring the highest benefits on Greece, and of furthering that moral renovation which those who know the pre scot character of the Greek population state to be greatly needed." His Excellency M. DE FALK rose to move the first Resolution, that the Report be approved of, and printed under the direvion of the Committee. His imperfect knowledge of the English language would prevent him from trespassing on the time of the Meeting, but he amid not avoid expresing a hope that the Netherland, would, by their future exertions, prove themselves worthy of the• flattering manner in which they were mentioned in the Report. (Cheers.) The Rev. ROWLAND HILL begged to remind the Meeting of the neuess:ty . of educating the rising generation; which, with out the exertions of the present, must become a set of complete barbarians. When he said education, he meant telig us eau. cation, which was indispensable; for if they were not taught to fear God they would nut honour the King, and, nameable thetnsetves, they would seek to manage others by snob law. The R*. Gentleman then adverted to the Principality of Wales, where the people are brought up in the utmost simplicity, so that Government had no trouble In governing them. in Scot land, he said, it would be an affront to ask a man if he could read. The principles upon which the Society was tanned were !Metal. There W“. 4 no distinctinn between the Diasenterti and Members of the Church of England. The object was to instruct children on universe! principles, And it would be cruel to .thrust the Dissenter beck from looking at the Sacred Voluine, mitosis he nttended in the sante places of worship as his Mretathera. (Cheers.) lie had had the honour to know the late Recorder of London Sir John Syl wester), and, in a convmsation with him, lie (Sir J. Sylvester) said that he thought education of itself did more harm than good ; that it was necessary that it should.be founded on religious pria. THE BRITISH PRESS. e im es: and he added,when children abided by such instruetinna they were seldom peen at the Old Bailey as criminsls. ((sheers.) The Rev. Oentleinsn concluded by mecoudintt the Resolution, which WAX then put from the Chair, and carried unanimously, as were all the others. The Rev. E. fIITTNO rose for the purpose of proposing the second Resolution, to the effect that the most grateful acknowledgements of the Meeting were due to his Majesty. Cie his continued paten_ rage of the Society. He felt convinced, from the exctlleitt Report which had been read. that the Society was an instrument in the hands of GA, preparing the way for the Gospel unto the father. most limits of the earth. It was manifest that all their exertions to circulate the Scriptures nom be vain unless the people to who.ti they were sent were also taught to read them. It was manifest that the labours of NI issionaries.must be fruitless unless educe ion was first instilled. In fact, the 3lissionaries, were compelled to stay their lahoure in preaching, and torn their exertions to instruction ; therentre he contended that the Society should not be regarded in itself,but rather as an instrument necessary to the operation of other instruments in spreading the Gospel throughout the world. ile had no doubt but that the Lord had raised and extended the power of the Society todo good beyond its ability ; lie therefore came for. ward with great delight to commend the Society to the orayers and the exertions of every one then present. (Cheers.) lie thought they ought to abide by the principles laid down for their guidance, for he felt convinced that if they attempted to do more, they would do lees ; they should confine themselves to teaching to read the Scriptures, and lessons out of them. (Cheers.) The British nation should regard itself as the depositary of the Scriptures, chosen, like the Jews of old, for this purpose. They were evidently chosen to circulate them, and for this had the Almighty suppressed 'menial rebellion, and extended its commerce and promoted amity between it and all other nations. (Cheers ) The British Mille were the honoured depositaries of the Lord—his chosen instruments for send. ing the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the globe. The Rev. Gentleman next alluded to a plan loiggest cd for making those schools support themselves. He thought the thing quite practice. ble, even in the peorest part of the cites of .the empire. The plan had been tried in Glasgow by Mr. Chalmers amongst the lowest refuse of the Irish,population of that city—a naked, rude, and tin. civilized people, full of the seeds of vice and abomination. lie formed a Sabbath school fur the children of those people, who were more like young colts from a common than the children of Christian parents. He gave them neither clothing nor charity ; but after the first few weeks they came, actuated by a sense of pride, decently clad. There were other schools, elan in Glasgow established in a similar Tanner. It at last struck the young man, that the parents were grown sensible of the advantages of education, and he proposed to them to support the school without resorting to publiccharity. One penny a week they were told would be ' , Noires!, upon which they said they would give sixpence, rather than lose the benefit of the school. This showed that it required only a little manage ment, in order to carry the plan suggested into execution,by which means a large portion of the funds would be at liberty to enlarge the foreign operations of the Society. It was the first time he had had the honour of proposing a vote of thanks to his Majesty, and he felt the which it conferred upon him. (Che Ts.) He had to ask the suffrages of a free people for a liberal stove. reign. (Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman next adverted to the time when the hand of bigotted domination in the church cast forth some of its best members, who were not suffered to approach within a certain number of miles of any city. Those persons laid the foun dation of the Non-conformists, who preserved the Scriptures and wrote their thoughts, even when no longer permitted to publish them, until at List the world saw the Church of England like a babe sucking its nourishment from the Nonconformists. (Great cheer. ing.) He then concluded by snowing the Resolution, and express. log a hope that the Society might long enjoy the patronage of bis Most Gracious Majesty. Mr. J. VAN OVEN seconded the Resolution, which was carried by acclamation. The Rev. Dr. RUSSELL (of Dundee), said that if the Report which was before the Meeting failed to make an impression on the minds of all present, he was convinced that nothing which could fall from him would produce any effect. He rejoiced that the So- ciety took for its foundation religious instruction. It was the duty of all who heard him, as Christians, to extend the circulation of the Word of God. All the great moral results which were pro duced in the world had been brought about by knowledge. (Ap. obtuse.) This great truth had been exemplified in the character and precepts of the Saviour. The benefits of the Society were not limited to the numbers taught to read : those who were taught would convey the knowledge acquired by them to the offspring with which they were blessed; and thus the advantages of the Insti tution would beextended to future generations. The circumstance' alluded to by the Rev. Mr. Irving proved forcibly a fact of which all those who had considered the subject of education were already aware—that where education was general, or that the parents were impressed with its value, they were always anxious mat their children should not be dependent on foreign aid for the attainment of knowledge. The R.T. Gentleman co .chided by moving the thanks of the Meeting to the Presidents, Committee, and other officers of the Institution. The motion was secni.tkal,without observation,by Mr. MI L L•R. The Rev. G. SA MP30,1 (County Derry). in min! , to propose the next Resolution, took occasion to observe, that he was one of those who thought that Institutions like the British and Foreign School Society, were calculated to raise the character of England above all the nations of the earth. Such Inatitutiona it was, which rendered England the glory of the world, the asylum for all Who were opPritsted, and the refuge for every species of 9 iMeese., The objects of this Institution were to burst the cliams of the slave, to give hit soul space to walk abroad, and to make him in body and mind redeemed, regenerated, and disenthmlled. (Applause.) Its motto was : " Nil humeni ame alienum," It was confined to no sect, to no class, to no colour, but embraced the human race, without rejecting the people of any clime or any country. It was justly said that rea.mi was the distinction between man and the brute end it might be said with equal truth that know ledge was the distinction between the slave and the freeman.— Corning to this Meeting he had spoken with a young Greek, whose father wow murdered. The scimetar of the Mattomedan was glaring red with the blood of Christians. The representatives of those heroes who stood at Marathon and Thermopylm. and who were quoted as examples of all that was noble and glorious, were sutforing under the oppression of the infidel barbarians. If Eng. land was, alit had ever been, the beacon of the distressed and the refuge of the suffering, and the condition of Greece was known and the difficulty of educating the population of that interest ing country was rightly understood, he was sure that funds would not be wanted to educate a thousand Greeks. But the benefi.s of the Institution were not confined to foreign countries. It operated powerfully and beneficially at home, in ex-ending knowledge and removing prejudice. It hsd been improperly stated on a former occasion, that lie had said the proceedings of the so. ciety in Ireland were opposed by the Roman Catholic priests; on the contrary, his statement was, that in the district with which he was connected, there had been no opposition, but that candour on the part of the agents of thehociety was met with confidence by the Irish people. His observations were the result of personal experi ence. In the parish in which his father lived there were about tour hundred children Ueing educated in the Society's schools. A ma jority of those were Catholics, the rest chiefly Dissenters. Amongst these children the word of God, without note or comment, was read. There were eight schools in his district: one of them was kept in the church, and another, for want of a more convenient place, in the Roman Catholic chapel, where the Scriptures were freely cir culated, and that the Protestant version too ! (Hear.) He had been told by one, to whom perhaps be ought to bow, for he was a dignitary of the Church, that he did wrong in taking part in pro. moting the interests of this institution, because it was calculated to spread sectarianism. In this he should only answer, that all he valued was Protestant—those from whom he was im mediately descended belonged to the Established Church. He was the direct descendant of the first Protestant chaplain of Harry the Eighth—that Sampson, who wrote a treatise which had raised him to the mitre, and did infinite service in pro moting the Reformation. For four successive generations the head of his family had been what he now was, a minister of the Esta blished church, and thus connected with it by conviction and feel. ing, it was not likely that he would support any institution having a tendency to undermine it. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, he would oppose any institution having such a tenancy, and if the church was assaulted, would stand fearlessly in the breach. But he was satisfied this society was only calculated to promote love Ind peace, and good will to►ards men. lie sincerely wished it a long and pro.perouseominuance,bensuse he considered it a refuge fur the op. p tl, a glory to its founders, and an honour to England. (Ap plause.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by moving the following resolution : " The on reviewing the progress of education in this country during the twenty-one years which have now elapsed since his late. hlsjetty honourtd the itri.ish system by his patronage, this Meeting is atficted by mingled emotions of gratitude and regret._ gratitude for the progress which has been made, and regret that so much remains .to be accomplished, and that even in Great Britain there is reason to believe that not less than 400,01)0 children are still unitrovided with the means of education." The Rev. Mr. Dal N, of Pimlico, in seconding the Resolution, took occasion to ohaerve that in advocating the cause of this insti tution, there were iio arguments to overturn, no objections to be met, aid it requ•red no eloquence to recommend the object of an institution, of which all who were acquainted with it concurred in acknowledging the utility. It was too much the practice to take it for granted that the objects of such an institution were ge nerally understood, and he thought he should be doing service to the Society by just reverting to its proceedings, from the period of its establishment, about 2'2 years ago, to ii present condition, when it might be said to have arrived at maturity. Twenty-tour thousalid children were now being educated in the schools of this Society, and between four Hai five hundred local richaols were established. lie calculated that not less titan sixty thousand chil dren had received mental culture through the instrumentality of the British and Foreign School Society. The effects of such an extensive system of education could not he estimated; they would last through succeiedve generations. There was an abatement, however, from the joy which he would otherwise feel upon review.. ing the proceedings of the Society, and this arose from the conside ration that there were no less than four hundred thousand children without education within the boundaries of our own island. It was the wish of the late venerated Soverven of this kingdom that every child should be taught to read the Bible, and lie trusted that the Society would never rest until there was not one untutored child hi England. (Applause.) The Rev. Dr. PHILLIP!' took this opportunity of returnin g Pia-As for the effective aid which the soci:ty had afforded to South Airce. It was vain, he thought, to eulogize the system of educa tion pursued by the Society, as its merits were universally appreci ated. All the objections to that system had been triumphantly vanquished, and a very general sentiment now prevailed as to its utili y. In the Wand of illatlageecar the Society hal effected touch good. It wax the custom 'of the inhabitants after death to remove the bodies of their friends to the graves of their fathers, and this elbourd cratom was productive of mach inconvenience add the loss of many lives. It had been dope away, however, and the King conceived that he owed the destruction of this absurd custom to t''e establishment of•the Soeiety'a ACllOrdll. With regent to the Hottentots, whit the Missionaries had to depend upon was, the in creasing knowledge of the rising generation; and it was extraor. denary to observe the change effected by the introdgetion of the British system of educstion amonest the Hottentot!: Education was the purest an least ohjectionnblemodr,which was used in those days of benevolence to increase the sum of human happiness. He !sincerely hoped it might continue to be used with increased effect. fie was pained to hear that the funds of the Itestitutton were ci►. etimsertbed. If the of nent retrenched a little in their luxuries, the Society would have ample funds. Many gentlemen carne to the meeting of that Institution in a carriage and four, and sup ported the expense of such an eqnipage for appearance; but woold a carriage and four add honour to the name of Allen (the Chair. mna) ? (Applause.) He knew he was trespa.sing on delicate ground ; but he could not abstain front asserting the abstract pro. position, that the benevolent character only was to be estimated, and' not wealth, nor honour. nor equipage, which attracted the admiration and notice of a few fools. (Applause.) 'Use Reverend Dentleman concluded by moving the thanks of the Meeting to the Duchess of Kent, the Lady Patronesses, and the Ladies of the Cmirnittee. Mr: %VEY MOUTII felt great pleasure in seconding this resolu do I. because lie knew that when the Ladies of England were called upon in the cause of charity, their hearts were always responsive to that call, anti their best exertions devoted to the furtherance of so benevolent a work. It was observed by a female writer of some celebrity, that there was scarcely an instance of a wise man having a tonlish mother; and this observation could scarcely be denied, considering the opportunities which mothers possessed in early life fur inctileatiog the principles of morality and religion in the minds of their children. Having been called upon to propose this resolution, he could not help referring to the Duchess of Kent. His late Royal Higlineaa the Duke of Kent had often filled the Chair of that Institotion, and he was glad to see that the same priticiplet which actuated his Royal Highness, in fostering the In. stitution, were retained by his ilium:Mutt widow. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. Titomesow, front South America, detailed his pro. ceedings amongst the newly recognized States of that interesting part of the globe. He stated that the authorities in that country had acted with the greatest liberality, in reference to the Institu tion. The success of theNnetety's Schools in Bumps Ayres was must encouraging. The head of the Government in Peru also seemed most anxious for the establishment of the Society's Schools This good feeling, he could assure the meeting, was not confined to the higher orders • it pervaded all classes. In same schools, the zeal to acquire the eletnentary branches of learning was so great, that where the pupils had not paper, they practised to write on the leaves of the American aloe, which was found very useful for that purpose. From personal experience he could assure the meeting, that throughout the States of South America, all classes seemed desirous to nromme the ditrusioo of a system of universal-educa tion. The Learned Gentleman concluded by moving the thanks of the meeting to the Government.' of the several States of South America, for the encouragement affinded by them to the system of British education. The Rev. Mr. CRUMP seconded the resolution. Mr. ItoquEeatit.TE, the Minister Plenipotentiary for the Mexican Government, rose to move the next Ronolution. He ad verted to the gratifying description given by Mr. Thomson, of the progress of the Society's schools in South America. These ad vances, he said, had been made in the spirit of love, and without blood and ernehieit. Ile next adverted to the independence of Mexico, which was achieved by moderate conduct, without violence, and without oppressing any class. In this it differed front the French revolution. indeed the two revolutions were quite different, whether the means or the end were considered. The revolution of the South American states was not for the overthrow of order, hut to establish it. Its effects were a transition from darkness to light. from superstition to Christian morality. Ile thought it must be admitted that every nation was happy in proportion to its know ledge. and the prevale• ce of religious principles. This was the true inundation of the greatness of England, and of that rank which she held amongst the nations of Europe. The fate of Spain, that beautiful country, which was worthy of a better tate, but which superstition had sunk from its rank amongst nations, was also an illustration of that principle. (Hear.) In looking to the new states of South America, he felt that the foundation of their permanent independence rested upon the improvement of the lower cirses. It was not enough for a man to be able to earn his own subsistence; It waaalsoessential that he -should understand the duty he owed to God and to society, (applause); and there were no means better calculated to diffhse this knowledge than those afforded by the British and Foreign School Society. Every friend Mille Institution might rest assured that there were many friends to the Society in South America. This gentleman concluded by in forming the meeting.. hat Mr. Lancaster was tow at the Caracas, employed in the establishment of schools, from which he anticipated the most extensive advantages. The combination of religious and political liberty he thought were absolutely necessary to secure the happiness of Mankind. To tunduce this happy combination was ' the object of the British and Foreign Seoul Society ; and as such he considered it deserving of the gratitude of the amid, and of the support of all persons anxious to promote the interests of Chris tianity. This gentleman's knowledge of the English language war limited, but those of his observations which were intelligible were ex tremely pertinent, and uttered with an earnestness which gave them additional force. He concluded, amidst repeated manifestations of applause, by moving the following Resolution : " That regarding the circulation of the Holy Scriptures„ . and the general diffusion of education, as kindred measures of the highest importance to the religious and moral welfare of mankind. this Meeting cannot but rejoice that, while the Sacred Volume has been translated into so many languages, the British system has been successfully introduced into almost every part of the world, thereby preparing the way for the profitable use of the Divine Book." - The Rev. Mr. BIALOBLOTZKY, of Germany, seconded the Re. solution, which was then put and carried. The Rev. Mr. Icittvaux p.opoaed the acknowledgments of the Meeting to their Royal II ighn.sses the Prince of Saxe Coburg and the Duke of Sussex, for their continued patronage of the Insti. tution ; and also the thanks of the :iming to Wm. Allen, Esq. for his conduct in the Chair. The Rev. BENJAMIN Itaysote seconded the Resolution, which was carried by acclamation. The Cirat R maw returned thanks for the honour done him, and then read a letter apologizing for the absence of his Royal High. netts the Duke of Sussex, owing to illnrss, arising from fatigue, in consequence of the rumber of public meetings he had presided over during the last week. The Meeting then dissolved. ROYAL BENZ VOLE [From the Glow Pattern.] We anticipate much good from the munificent donations of his Majesty (mentioned below), for the relief of the dis tressed workmen in this city and Paisley. We estimate this not so much by the amount of pounds to be bestowed, se by the amount of influence which it will have upon all classes. There is a pleasure in being identified with the great in any undertaking, and this plea Sure is greatly en hanced when the object is to relieve the wants of suffering fellow-creatures. We expect then to see our wealthy fel low-citizens, who are to meet on Tuesday, rallying around the standard of benevolence, which the Sovereign has planted, and sending forth to the distressed working classes a sum worthy of that public spirit, by which Glasgow has hitherto been characterized. In makin. , these remarks, however, we should never forget th a t subscription money may alleviate the distress at the moment, without at all affecting the grand source of the evil. We hope Ministers will yet be able to remove those restrictive laws which shackle the free intercourse of trade, and by setting the currency of the country upon a proper basis, give to trade that stability which it has lost. " Whitehall, 31ay 9, 1826. "ly Lonn—l am commanded by the King to acquaint your Lordship, that it has not escaped his Majesty's observation that the manufacturing poor of Glasgow snd its vicinity have hitherto borne with exemplary patience the severe distress to which they have been exposed through the want of employment. " In the firm confidence that they will continue to evince that peaceable demeanour and submission to the :aw, which give them PO strong a claim on the benevolent exertions that have been made, and will no doubt still be made, for their relief, the King desires that his name may be added to the list of subscriptions at Glasgow fur the sum of One Thousand Pounds. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship 'a most obedient servant, " ROBERT PEEL. " The lion. the Lord Provost, &c. &c., Glasgow." His Majesty has also, says the abisgoto Courier, trans mitted Five Hundred Pounds to Paisley, for the same be nevolent purpose. We regret to find, by the accounts from that quarter, that there exists but too much cause fur the interposition of charitable offieei. The Glasgow courier of May 12, says the following is an extract of a letter received in Glasgow from a highly respectable merchant in London:— " 1 have seen a very intelligent man from France, who informs me that the manufacturers in that country are in a state of the greatest suffering, very little better than they arc here, only they make less noise about it. They have no demand at all, in propor tion to the quantity produced, and they are turning off' their work men without any ceremony. lle tells me also, that the mercantile clan have been sustaining heavy losses. Nome most extensive and dontstrotts shipments have been made to St. Domingo, which they have completely glottal. When the treaty with that island was pronotigated, the people thought they had nothing to do but to ship as fast as they could, and that those wko were first would reap the greatest share of the golden harvest! Their operations to mmy parts of South America, &c have equally disappointed them. lle knew of two large cargoes sent to Colombia in 1824, from which not a single return had yet been made."

We have been informed that it is atta a whetter of doubt with some, whether a change in the value of the rix dollar may noe yet be made by his Majesty's Govemmint, and two shill hogs, it is conjectured, may be the rate at which it may be utti. !timely fixed. Such doubts can scarcely exist in the mind of any person acquainted with the nature and history of bur currency, or with the deplorable effects of a sudden or ..rbitrary alteration in its talue. Who is to pay the two shillings, and who are to receive them ? The shopkeepers and small dealers owe a balance, say, of &00,000 dollars to the English or foreign merchants, for goods to be disposed of by them in small quantities or by retail. Raise tit, dollar from one shilling anti sixpence to two shillings, and you in create the debt f.-rini 37.500/. to 40,0001. What right has the cre ditor to this ? But grant hint the right, how can the unfortunate debtor raise the money to satisfy it ? As the dollars ascend in value, he gets fewer of them for his grinds. Competition soon de termines that part •if the Argument. Ilia ruin would be inevitable. Besides, how is the alteration to be effected ? Is the Foglisis Government to offer two shillings for each dollar to the present holders ? There are some men in the colony who would like that very much. But if England think it just to pay two shillings, we beg to a.sk her rea.tto for withholding the other two. Four ABA lings was the original price paid ny the colonists fat these perplex ing pieces of pap.s.r. But who can be so blind as to neglect the ob. vious Injustice of paying two shillings to holders who never Fare more than the value of Is. 6d. for a dollar in their lives ? Vet such are many of those who evince the greatest anxiety on the sub ject, while others, who have lost by the depreciation, having now no dollars to dispose of. could receive no redress Whatever. Government, it is said, may cause the dollars to rise insensibly, by destroying Is porti In of the currency. How is it to get possession of that portion ? By taxation. This would be en odd way of set tling a debt due to the community. It would be saying, in effect,— •• Gentlemen, we owe you evrtain sums of money, which we are now shout to pay you very honestly ; but we cannot create cub, you conceive. Therefore let us see what you have got in your pockets. Aye, that one Is mots, he sot ood as turn out the lining of the other. So ! Now we intend o burn tl•is, in order to in crease the value of the remainder, and you will discover, in the curse of a short time. what a great benefit Isas been twittered on you." This of comae will never he attempted. Certain revenues, originally pledged for the dollar, will probably in the end be employed in redeeming it. They are large, and may be increased by thermic of the Government farms, and probably also by an improved method of book-keeping. But this redemp tion should not at any time alter the value of the dollar. The eon fusion, the loss, and distress, which would most certainly follow Soy such alteration, as unclosed transactions now exist, in thin Co hotly, would be terrible. It is our opinion, that mo r e real tittering would arise from a sudden advance of the dollar to two shillings or two and sixpence, then has been experienced by the slow diprecia lion from dr. to Is. fld. ; and also that it would fall chiefly on the same parties. _ NVe are aware that this has not been a popular view of the sub ject. But it k the true one. We lament the loss sustained by in dividuals as well as that of the community, and we trust that our claims on the justice and humanity of England will prncure solid remuneration as far as it is now practicable. But we must remon strate against remedies which, however fair in appearance, would be fats! in their operation. _ EXtrit.'t of a letter from Albany, dated February 21, 11326. " An unfortunate affray took place last Thursday morningait the Coffer Fuse. A Caller writhing to pass the boundary of the meeker, in the direction of the barracks, was struck by a soldier; the Cater immediately returned it, by throwing a stone, upon which the,eol. dier caught hold of the beads round the neck of the Coffer. Other Coffers began immediately to interfere. Lieutenant De Lisle went to the assistance of the soldier. and the Callers began thrashing both the officer and man. The'Caffer picquets and guard were int. ntediately turned out, and came running up to the Market, fol. lowed by most of the men in the garrison, in their fatigue dresses, armed with sticks and stones. The Coffer*, on seeing this, made off to the bush behind the place where the market is held. The officer commandink them gave orders to surround about 20 or 30 of the most peaceable Caffers, the majority of whom were Chiefs, fur the purpose, as this officer asserts, of obliging them to remain and consult with him what was to be done with the Caller that had struck Mr. De Lisle. The soldiers not being able to effect their purpose by surrounding them, the Caffers being so much on the alert, were thrown into such c o nf us i on tha t th iey mmediately made a charge with their bayonets (separating at the same time from each other), and followed by the men who had come nut with their stick* and stones. The Coffers immediately made a rush, and used their weapons in apiost desperate manner, leaving the marks of their dexterity pretty thickly distributed amongst the soldiers. NVhat the Callers suffered I am not yet able to ascertain. Ons poor woman came forward to show a wound some ut feeling fellow had inflicted with his bayonet in her arm. " I am sorry to say there are few weeks pass without some. dl.. turbance happening; and it is solely occasioned by bad manage ment. This, market being so considerable, and so beneficial to the Colony generally, I am surprised to see it so neglected. " I should feel obliged if any of your Correspondents can Inform me under whose jurisdiction this market lies. In one instance the Landdrost suspended a trader's license for two weeks ; the Com mandant bas also suspended a trader's license for two weeks. If we apply to the Landdrost about the market, directly or indirectly, we are referred to the Commandant ; and it' we apply to the Coin. mandant, we are referred to the Landdrost."

Horrocks, aged apparently abotit six years, was produced in Court under the fidlowing circumstances : Wednesday week, Mr. Moscrop, overseer of Little Bolton, was requested to visit th.: infant, who had been placed by the overseer of the township of Ainsworth, in the care of J. Haslam, of Turton. street, Little Bolton. who received Hid. per week for that purpose. On going to his residence, Mr. Moscrop found the miserable little sufferer in such a state, from usage of the most barbarous descrip tion, that he was induced to take him directly away, and place him in the keeping of Mr. Howarth, the deputy constable. He then prnured a warrant for the apprehension of Haslam, who absconded. The unfortunate little fellow had the mark of a cord deeply im pressed upon his neck, as if he had either been actually hung up, or so tightly confined as to inflict a most galling entrance into the very flesh ; and he appeared to hold his head on one side, as if severely injured by some sudden wrench ! His back, and indeed the whole aids person, was lacerated in a shocking manner ; and his appearance altogether, though naturally a fine child, was truly deplorable. The Migistrate directed the overseer of Ainsworth to receive the child ag tin Into his care ; and said that he should be bound over to prosecute, the nofatent Ilaslam could he discovered. The father of this wretched little outcast was transported ; and the mother recently abandoned it to its fate. BilOT HERTA' ArrEcTioN.—diary Jury, on the informs. tiou of her brother, If.
