N'fIVE SCHOOLS in INDlA.—Theimmenseim- Penance of establishing Schools for the &Million, in the first pike: of European, awl ultimately of Christian Knowledge, amongst the Native Children in India, must be admitted by all who have seriously reflected upon the means of propagating the Gospel in the E:t•t. . . . Little progress can be expected in this great work, unless the mind has been prepared for the reception of Christianity by some previous instructi•m. This point was repeatedly rei t earnestly pressed upon the attention of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge by the late lamented Bishop 31 iddleton The :ideal tages to be derived from hence appear to be no less high), esti mated by Bishop Hebert and the opiniot. of persona best acquainted with the East, accords with the sentiments of these distinguished indivklugs. . To make provision for such instruction has long been an object of the Society for Promoting Christ.an Knowledge ; and it has for a considerable time had Schools in India under the superi , tend- Once and direction of Ito agents. With avilw to provide the weans of extending the system, the Society has resolved to form a separate Fund for the establishment of Native Schools in India, and "1115 fo: that purpose voted the sum of five thousand pounds, in addition to an anonymous benefaction of one thousand pounds, and another of two hundred pounds. It Is proposed to extend the benefits of this measure to all parts of India ; and to empower the Bishop of Calcutta, the Archdeacons of Calcutta. Madras. Bombay, and Ceylon, and the Committees of the Society at those places, to ap propriate portions of the Fund to the Native Schools in their re spective districts. The system upon which the Schools are to be conducted will be left to the derision of tile Ecclesiastical and Civil Authorities in India, in conjunction with the Committees of the Society, and the Managers of each local Institution. Grants of money will be made for the erection and enlargement of school houses ; books in English, and in the various native langu gee, will be provided ; and native achoimasters will be educatedawith the ssistance of the Soviet y. That the Native School Fund may be made in some measure proportionate to the vast field on which it is to be expended, and to the acknowledged importanot of its moat desirable and truly Christian object, the Society earnestly entreats the aid of the pub lic In donations or annual subscriptions.

I t was resolved that the following Statement should be submitted to the Public : The Committee who have been entrusted with the distribution of the money subscribed for the relief of the distressed Silk Weavers in Spitalfields, have now the painful task of announcing to the public, that while the funds placed at their disposal are very nearly exhausted, the distress which they were intendel to relieve remains undiminished in extent and severity ; in point of fact, it may be said to have increased, for the relief which the Committee has been able to allow to persons with families, has been so small as barely to support them, and that but scantily, with the neces saries of life, leaving no provision for the payment of rent, or of debts. contracted under the pressure of distress, before the coin- , mencernent of the subsctiption. About seven hundred persons who have received relief, have now obtained a small portion of work ; but their places have been more than supplied by those who were at work, and are now wally out of employ. The Committee have now been sitting every day (Sundays ex cepted; since the slst of January, in the Vestry.room at Sokol. fields Church. distributing relief ; and nearly sixteen thousand per. sons have been supported during the whole of that time, and are still supported entirely, upon the scanty pittance which they have received from this source. The balance now remaining in the Treasurer's hands does not amount to the sum rtquired for one week's distribution. Under these circumstances, the Committee feel it their duty to make an earnest appeal to the benevolence of those whom Prot i dence has blessed with the means of mitigating the distresses of their fellow-creatures; and persuade themselves that the foregoing simple and unexaggerated statement will produce such an addition to their funds, as may prevent the sudden drying up of those sources to which co many thousand poor persons have to 1.)ok for the moans of existence. Amount of Subscriptions received - .C 13,630 10 Amount expended . - 12.100 0 (Signed) C. J. CHESTER, Chairman. WM. HALE, Treasurer.

GENUINE SYRUP OF DE VELNOS.—The fol lowing Letter is an additional and recent Testimony in proof of the peculiar benefit attendant on the use of the Syrup : " Half-Ac►e, Brentford, Jan. 19. 1826. "Madam,—Fully convinced of the efficacy of your invaluable medicine, I am induced to make the following case known, for the benefit of those who may be suffering under similar affliction. My daughter had a severe attack of Typhus Fever in the autumn of 1824 ; her head was shaved, and immediately after it broke out, and formed an entire scab (so that her ears were scarcely visible), at the same time discharging a watery humour all over the head, with a thick matter out of the hole of each ear. After taking a few bottles of the Syrup she was restored to perfect health, in which she still remains; another autumn having passed without the least symptom of a relapse. In addition to the foregoing, I cannot but acknowledge that, on several occasions, I have received the greatest benefit from taking the Syrup, but particularly in the case of an ulcerated leg, occasioned by a severe blow. I beg to add, if Lean in any way be serviceable, as a reference, in recommentling the Syrup. I shall feel it a duty I owe, knowing the efficacy of it in many instances. I am, Madam, your's respectfully. W. FRANKLIN. " To Mrs. Canhain, 52, Berners.street." The great success of this Medicine in Scorbutic, Sappholone, and Syphilitic Complaints, Pains and Swellings of the Liver, die eased Skin and Glands. and all disorders arising from impure blood, is now too well known to require a detailed enumeratioS. As, however, imposture, like envy, too closely follows the heels of ' merit, and pretensions to imitate the Syrup, to improve it l or have discovered something of similar efficacy, may surprise the un wary, and fatally mislead the ignorant, Mrs. Canhsm owes it in gratitude to the public, to give warning of these dangers, and to refer to those proofs of the virtues and efficacy of her Medicine, as be found in her publications, which surpass, in number, respects hility, and authenticity, any testimonies of a similar kind that have been ever produced. The effects of the Genuine Vegetable Syrup are such as sot to interrupt either business or pleasure; it operates on the animal juices, and simply requires the common restraint of moderation In diet. It is a safe hut powerful substitute for Mercury, and removes all those diseases which an unsuccessful use of that mineral occa- slows.

Canham," in the hand-writing of the Proprietor, by whom it is sold, as it was by her Uncle and her Husband, et 52, Berners.street, at 13a. a bottle; and, by her appointment, at Mr. Realm's, 196.

EDIBLE ANIMAI s.—The Morooaas, a people on the fron tier between the south of Bengal and the kingdom of Avs (generally known as the Burman empire), seem to have abundance of provisions. Hogs, goats, dogs. can, fowl., fish, snakes and lizards, form their animal focal. Hoge and fowls they have in plenty; but they have much dif. ficulty in preserving the awns from the tigers. That young cats and dogs are excellent ettingitbere can be do doubt, as they are highly esteemed by the Chinese-.-the nation, next to the French, that has proceeded farthest in the refinement of eating. The Moroosas (says Doctor Hamilton) venture to attack tigers with abort spears, buil they dodlot eat such u they kill. •
