THIRTEENTH REPORT OF THE LONDON JOIN T-STOCK BANK. At a GENERAL MEETING of the SHARE HOLDERS, heil at the Banking-house of the Corr, :,7-.. rinces-street, Mansion-house, on WanNESDAY, the 10th of an aary, 1844, GEORGE TAYLER, Esq., Chairman. 'WILLIAM MILLER CHRISTY, Esq., Deputy-Chairman. DIRECTORS. Sir Felix Booth, Bart. Sir George Carroll, Ald. William Miller Christy, Esq. Wiliam Curling, Esq. John P. Darthez, Jun., Esq. Robert Farrand, Esq. , George Holgate Foster, Esq. ,William 0. Gore, Esq., M.P. Archibald Hastie, Esq., M.P. John C. Lochner, Esq. THE MANAGER—George Pollard, Esq. • SOLICITORS—Messrs. Tilson and Squance. The following Report was presented : Although the value of money, during the last half year has 'continued so low as to keep the profits of banking beneath their ordinary level, yet the Directors are gratified in being able to .present an account for that period, which they have no doubt 'will convey to the meeting very satisfactory evidence, under such . e iraamstances, of the sound and prosperous condition of the Bank. , After discharging all the expenses of the establishment, and Makin an ample allowance for bad debts, there remains a net cum of 16,4701. 16e. Bd., arising out of the profits of the half- Year, to be applied to a dividend upon the paid-up capital of the Company. The Directors have thought it right to make the dividend after the rate of six pounds per centum per annum, which will require them to take 1,5291. 3s. 4d. from the Guarantee Fund; but they are happy to call the attention of the Shareholders to the fact that, notwithstanding this deduction, that fund will ulffer very little diminution—the half-year's interest, which has b•en added to it, being nearly equal to the sum withdrawn. By the rot a ti on w hi c h h a s been established under the Deed cf.., Settlement, Alderman Sir George Carroll, John Peter aiir the z , Jun., Esq., Sir John M'Taggart, Bart., John Chris t°, pber Lochner, Esq., and George Scholefield, Esq., retire on this occasion from the Direction, but offer themselves to the Shareholders for re-election, and are the only candidates for the 'leant seats. 11 1 , 011 reviewing.the proceedings of the Bank at the close of me first seven years of its existence, a period marked by extra ordinary fluctuations andlnancial difficulties, the Directors are confident that the Shareholders will join them in feelings of Patisfaetion at the general result of its operations ; and, looking !,,t the imp rov i ng aspec t o f commerc i a l a ff a i rs i n thi s c ount r y, they eonsider themselves justified, not only in indulging an ex- Pectation that a more active and profitable employment may be found for the funds of the Bank than has recently been practi table, but also in anticipating for this important undertaking additional extension and success. The dividend will be paid On and after the 17th instant. D it The preceding- Report having been read to the meeting by Secretary, a dividend for the half-year, ending the 31st of was last, after the rate of 6i. per centum per annum was declared by the Chairman. Sir J. M‘Taggart, Bart., M.P. William Mitcalfe, Esq. Ambrose Moore, Esq. John Timothy Oxley, Esq. George Scholefield, Esq. Joshua Scholefield, Esq., M.P. William Shadbolt, Esq. Thomas Stooks, Esq.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PIM Election of Major Oliphant to succeed to the 1 present vacancy in the direction of your affairs being se cured by the withdrawal of his only opponent, Captain White- Evan, confirms the view of the probable issue of the contest ex pressed by me in my address to you of the Ist instant. A large and influential body of independent Proprietors, who have pro mised me their support, being thus released from their engage ments, I have, therefore, the honour to announce my determi nation to proceed to the ballot on the next vacancy. The constitution of the East India Company being no longer commercial, but political, the great object of the Government of India ought to be the moral and physical advancement of oar fnclian fellow-subjects. An intimate acquaintance with their languages, manners, and customs, and a practical knowledge of India, are consequently the most essential qualifications for those aspiring to a share in the administration of our vast eastern empire. Under these circumstances, having filled various responsible situations in India, during a period of fifteen years, I respect fully offer myself as a Candidate for your suffrages on the first vacancy, assuring you that having no other pursuit, should I be successful, I will devote myself exclusively to the discharge of the important duties entrusted to me, and to the promotion of the best interests of the people of India. I have the honour to be, with great respect, . Your faithful and obedient servant, W. J. EAST WICK. London, 22, Sloane-street, Jan. 10, 1844.

Yesterday evening, shortly before six o'clock, the parish of St. Paul, Deptford, was thrown into an extraordinary state of excitement, by the discovery of a horrid murder in Giffen street, Deptford. It appears that the father of the hapless children, whose name is John Fawley Dickenson, returned home from London soon after five o'clock, having been in town all day on private business, when, on going into the back parlour to meet his wife and children, he found her with her throat cut, lying with her head towards the foot of the bed, weltering in her blood, but still alive; and, en getting a light, he discovered his two chil dren, one aged IS months, and the other two years, lying at their mother's feet, next the head of the bed, with their throats so dreadfully cut that life must have become almost immediately afterwards extinct. In this dreadful state of things he ran out and informed the police, when Ewing, 160 R, Sergt. Lowell, 15 R, and Sergt. Roscoe, R, entered the premises, and immedi ately sent for Dr. Arthur, the parish surgeon, and another gen tleman, who came at once to the scene of horror, sewed up the wound in the unhappy woman's throat, and bandaged it. By this time the churchwardens, &c., had arrived and searched he place, and, after some time, they found a razor covered with blood, and with which the fatal tragedy had been enacted. The name of the father is John Fawley Dickenson, recently carrying on the business of a licensed victualler at the Peter borough Arms, Parson's-green, Fulham, where, it is under stood, he was unfortunate. His wife's name was March, and formerly lived at Kensington. The deceased children's names are Jane Eliza and George. At the time of the dreadful event Mr. Dickenson was keeping a lodging at No. 5, Giffen-street. In some boxes and drawers were found an immense number of pawnbrokers' duplicates for articles pledged at Bermondsey, Horselydown, Knightsbridge, and Kensington, and it is therefore evident that the family had been supported by such means for some time past. The following part of a letter was found in a box by the bed side :—" Dear Sir,—l now write to you for the last time. You said last night it was my fault, it was owing to my own misconduct, that I was now in my present distress; but that I deny. I say now, and always shall say, that you were the cause of my downfal at the Peterborough Arms. lam com pelled to write to you, as I could not express myself to you last night. I now wish to know if you will be so kind as to pay my rent for me?" The repoker heard Dickenson's wife say to the surgeon, police, and churchwarden that she did the deed herself. Some brandy and water and also warm tea was poured into her mouth, which revived her a little, and enable.] her to speak in a low tone. Mr. Dickenson, in a most distracted state, was removed to the Union for personal safety. Two policemen are left to sit up and watch the unhappy woman. CRUEL PUNISHMENT BY A SC HOOLMASTER. CIIELTINITANI, JAN. 9.—Cheltenham and the adjoining village of Wincheomb and neighbourhood have, during the last three days, been gainfully excited in consequence of a very pre valent rumour that Master Conrad Algernon Carter, the youngest son of Giles Carter, Esq., solicitor, of Winchcomb, who was an exceedingly promising youth, of twelve years of age, had come by his death in consequence of the severity of punishment which had been administered to him by Mr. Charles Lapworth, the master of the endowed grammar school at that place. Information of this circumstance having come to the knowledge of the Coroner, that gentleman deemed it his duty to hold an inquest on the body. Mr. Carter, the father of the deceased, deposed that his son, who was twelve years of age, had attended the endowed school at Winchcomb for three years, and he was a fine talented lad. Previous to the month of March last he en joyed most excellent health, had good spirits, and was of a robust constitution. During the latter part of that month, the master, Mr. Lapworth, for a very slight transgression, corrected him in a cruel manner. He beat him about the head, shoulders, and arms, until the lad was one mass of bruises, and he fell on the school-room floor from exhaustion, and fainted away in consequence of the severity of the punish ment inflicted. The boy's health from that period was broken, and early in the month of April he was confined to his bed. In May sores and ulcers broke out all over his body, and in the neck, which corresponded with the marks inflicted by the punishment. Witness said his son continued unwell from the nay his master beat him until the month of September last, when he became rapidly worse, and on the 31st of December death put a period to his sufferings. The Coroner and jury had caused the body to be opened, in order to have a post mortem examination, and to have medical testimony of the cause of death. Mr. Hawkins, surgeon, of Cheltenham, found the body, but more particularly the neck, ulcerated to a very great extent ; but after the most minute and anxious examination he was of opinion that the immediate cause of death was ulceration of the lungs. It was impossible to say what was the exciting cause of the disease, or whether it originated in the punishment de ceased had received from his schoolmaster. The jury returned the following special verdict:—" They find that the deceased, Conrad Algernon Carter, died of disease of the lungs ; but the jury cannot separate, after returning their verdict, without expressing their high sense of disappro bation of the conduct of Mr. Lapworth, the schoolmaster, towards the deceased in March last, when he inflicted an ex tent of corporal punishment on him which was unwarrantable, and done in a manner the most discreditable. The jurors also consider that after the deceased was allowed by his parents to return to school (although in had health) after the Midsummer holidays, at the particular wish of the school committee, in order to restore harmony and good feeling, the orders given by the schoolmaster, Lapworth, to the other boys, not to associate with or speak to the deceased, as they had formerly done, was cruel, imprudent, and injudicious in the extreme, and by no means calculated to reconcile parent or child." A GINNT PUDDING.—A plum-pudding, purchased by subscription, weighing two hundred and ninety pounds, mea suring six feet in length, five feet in circumference, and which took thirty hours in boiling, was carried in procession through the pleasant little village of Aughton, near this town, headed by a band of music, on Tuesday last, and, after having been submitted for some time to the inspection of the curious, was cut up and disposed of among a host of rustic visitors, who had flocked to the village, on account of its being the day when tho annual sports take place. The boiler in which it was cooked_ is a copper one, made for the purpose of boiling willows for basket makers, and from this boiler, the idea of the monster puddings eriginated, this being the third which has been cooked in it. When the pan was first put down about forty years ago, an in habitant of the village, named Christopher Beetham, jocularly remarked, " that it would boil a rare puddinr , for a plough man." This conceit so tickled the fancy of four or five gen tlemen farmers present, that they determined to have a pudding made as large as the boiler would contain, and that a similar specimen of the pudding tribe should issue from the same caul dron, every fi Aeon or twenty years. They furnished the neces sary funds, and the first pudding was boiled en the 2d of Janu ary, 1602 ; the second on the 2d of January, 1819 ; and the third on Tuesday last.—Lancaster Guardian. THE DUKE OF BORDEAUX'S VISIT TO ENGLAND. The following is a full report of M. Guizot's speech (ot which we gave an outline on Wednes day), relative to the court paid by Frenchmen to the Duke of Bordeaux. It appears he intended to remain silent after the candid and honest speech of the Duke of Richelieu, but was com pelled to reply to the remarks of another speaker : The Marquis de Verne thought that the last phrase of the first paragraph of the Address appeared to him to attack both the dignity of the Chamber and the inde pendence of its members. Was there, in fact, in the conduct of any one of them, anything that ought to excite the disdain which the Committee had deemed it necessary to express. In 1830, a Royal child, the loyal heir to a throne, had been included in the exile of his family. What reproaches had one to address to the young and chief victim of the fatal ordonnances? Providence had preserved that Royal child (noise, murmurs), and brought him to man's estate. He wished to gain information by visiting various countries, and for two years he had been travelling through Europe. At present he was in England. What was he doing there? Was he endea vouring to form a party? Was he calling around him adventurers and men at arms? No such thing. A few friends had crossed the Channel to express to him their respect and affection. One of the great men of the age, M. de Chateaubriand, led the way, and after him 2,000 or 3,000 Frenchmen of all conditions.—(Loud disappro bation, marks of denial.) He repeated his assertion -2,000 or 3,000 other Frenchmen had imitated M. de Chateaubriand. Who would dare blame their proceed ings? He would affirm loudly that the progress of civi lisation would prevent all blame or punishment falling on the meeting of the noblest sentiments around the most respectable misfortune.—(Noise and interruption.) His conscience as a Peer of France impelled him to ex press himself thus, and to call for the removal of the last lines of the first paragraph. M. Guizot observed that he had not thought it neces sary to speak after the D u k e d e Ri c h e li eu, for ho had endeavoured to withdraw from the act in question all political importance—he had represented it as an act of personal gratitude, of respect to misfortune. A man might testify respect to misfortune, and yet fail in other duties. Respect is due to this world to other things besides misfortune, and men had other duties as well as that suggested by gratitude. The Duke de Richelieu's address to the Chamber called for no reply ; but it was quite a different thing with the words just uttered. The sentiments of the address are, in the latter case, com pletely attacked, and a proposition has been made to re trench part of the first phrase. The sentiments of the address expressed the duties of the Peers and the duties of the Government. The Government intended to up hold them, and to remain faithful to them. The Marquis De Verac had demanded merely the re moval of two phrases alluding to a party improperly attacked. M. Guirot—lt was of that party (the Legiti:nists) that he was about to speak. He would not in any way elude the question. The various Governments in France since the Revolution had seen many culpable acts of parties with a most tolerant eye ; but at the same time they had used a proper share of vigilance. The present Government had not attempted to exercise any exagge rated surveillance over the Prince, to whom allusion had been made ; but when his presence in one of the great capitals of Europe appeared to involve one of two con sequences—either to place the French Ambassador in a false position, or to furnish matter for exciting men's passions—they at once declared that such a position could not last, and that if it was persisted in, the pre sence of the Ambassador appeared to them neither suitable nor possible. They declared that at Vienna in 1841, at Dresden in 1842, at Berlin in 1843, and every where, the declaration was received as a natural and legitimate consequence of their international inter course. Everywhere the complaints thus made were attended to. When the Duke de Bordeaux arrived in England, a similar position was foreseen. England was a country of great liberty and great pub licity. The Government was aware that the English Government was not armed against the consequences which they had treated of elsewhere, but at the same time they had a right to reckon on its loyal friendship. Their hopes in that respect had not been deceived. The Queen of England refused to receive the Duke de Bor deaux, and by that step gave a striking proof of her dis pleasure, and of her disapprobation of the political colour that was attempted to be given to this journey, and the consequences that might be drawn from it. After this resolution of the Queen not to receive either in public or private the Duke de Bordeaux, scenes took place in Belgrave-square, to which he should intention ally apply the epithet of scandalous ; yes, scandalous, in the eyes of all men of sense or worth in every country. It was the duty of the Government to demand from the English Government if they had no means of putting down what had been forbidden elsewhere—what would not have been tolerated in any part of Europe. The reply was, that they had no legal means of doing so ; but they at the same time expressed their profound displeasure, and openly manifested it to them and to others, declaring that they found the scenes alluded to absolutely scandalous, and they excited their severe reprobation. It was all that it was possible for them to do, or the French Government to ask for. But a grave fact, which the whole of Europe was struck with as well as we, was the disappearance of the quality of an unfortunate Prince travelling for im provement, and in its place the title of Pretender to the throne of France—of Pretender, in virtue of a right which since 1830 no French subject living under the laws can for an instant allow to appear. The Government knew that in those matters, there was neither for the Government nor the King any danger; the King's Go vernment was based on too wide and sure a foundation— it had too deeply identified itself with the great national interests and sentiments, to fear that any party could place it in danger. The experience of thirteen years did not allow any doubt to exist on the point—they had surmounted many perils of far greater extent— had overcome factions sometimes separately, and at others united together—all this they had done, not by their own merit, but by the strength of the natural position of the Government.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") They, therefore, felt no uneasiness, but other consi derations ought to occur to them. The Legitimist party had sent to London a certain number of their adherents. He did not hesitate to affirm that amongst those who had set out to render homage to an exiled Prince—now become a Pretender—many had gone, with regret very possibly, but most undoubtedly without being actuated by any ♦ery ardent desire—from being at all influenced by such or such a journal—without, in fact, any real political conviction.—(Hear, hear.) The meetings that were spoken of had been as frivolous as noisy. Had it not been well known that the proceedings were of an unimportant character, the Chamber might be certain that far fewer persons would have gone to London. He would go farther, and would ask, did his hearers suppose that they of the Legitimist party, who acted in a differ ent manner—they who, being Peers or Deputies, ab stained from going, did not deeply deplore and loudly blame what had occurred at London ? He had no hesi tation in affirming that by far the greater portion of the Legitimist party blamed energetically what had just been lauded in the Chamber. There were, doubtless, to be found in the Legitimist party many busybodies, but there are also many men of sense ; there are many who could conciliate their regrets or their affections with their duties as citizens ; those sincerely deplored the scenes which had lately occurred in London. He was very sure that there was in those no danger for the Government. Whether he considered the mass of the nation, or the Legitimist Eparty, he had good reason to say that the facts had nothing in them of an alarming character. Why, then, should they concern themselves with them ? Why, because in this world, Gentlemen, there was something else besides danger ; because it was not the question of existence alone that should engage them. There was an insult, a great insult—a political and moral insult. There was an enormous insult in the affair, for it in •olved with some a forgetfulness of their first duties. There was here no question of an oath, for an oath was not necessary to enforce the duties of obedience and submission to the laws of one's country ; and when those were openly and arrogantly neglected—when, so to speak, parade was made of that neglect, the disorder was immense—the insult of the most enormous descrip tion ; for it was scandalous for a party to escape from the laws of his country to go and abuse the liberty of a foreign country. This step might compromise the good harmony which prevailed between the two nations —it 'night bring about embarrassments, the danger of which it was difficult to foresee. This conduct, he could not too often repeat, was an insult which must cause uneasiness to all Governments, whoever they might be, and which they should visit at least by a severe censure. This was a plain and simple expression of facts, awl facts which they could not fail to consider a great evil. He believed that the Legitimist party, like every other old party in the country, united by deeply-rooted sentiments and beliefs, reckoned amongst its members men animated by noble and good feelings ; but the wisest, the most moderate, and the best intentioned in all parties, allowed themselves to be rxceeded by poli tical busy bodies. In fact, to use a vulgar expression, " the tail ran away with the head."—(Loud marks of approbation.) What was the duty of the Government in such a situation ? It was, doubtless, to protect the men of sense against those mischief-makers. This duty they would, with the assistance of the Chambers, strictly fulfil. There was another evil which was produced by such manifestations as these, and, in order to produce this great evil, it was not necessrry that a revolution should break out, or a civil war be organised. It was a great evil when discord was instilled into men's minds, when extinguished animosities were revived, when ancient prejudices and passions were again roused. This was what might have resulted from a step which the conclusion of the first paragraph of the Address wished to censure. Were they aware that it was not, perhaps, very ditlicult ;,0 revive in Franco revolutionary sentiments ? AT a MEETING held at LONDON HOUSE, on Saturday, December 2, 1843, it was resolved to form an ASSOCIATION for PROMOTING the RELIEF of DESTITUTION, and for IMPROVING the CONDITION of the POOR in the METROPOLIS, by MEANS of PA ROCHIAL and DISTRICT VISITING : and after sev_sral intermediate meetings, it was resolved, on Saturday, De cember 16, to adopt and circulate the following Address and Regulations : The object which this Association has in viewi s, not merely to administer immediate relief in cases of extreme destitution, or of pressing want, but to improve the social, moral, and re ligious condition of the poor, by means which have been tried, on a limited scale, in certain districts, and which have been successful in proportion to the completeness of the system which has been put into operation, and tine care with which it has been worked. It is obvious that to dispense pecuniary re lief indiscriminately, and with reference solely to the apparent or actual necessity of the case, without inquiry as to the past, or provision for th_e future, is, to say the least of it, but a half measure of charity, and has a tendency to generate or increase the very evils which it seeks to cure. An inquiry into the causes of distress, and into the best means of preventing its recurrence, by infusing into those who labour under it sound principles of action, and forming them to habits of economy, industry, and foresight, is obviously necessary, to ensure to the exertions of benevolence their proper results. Mere liberality in almsgiving, unaccompanied by an endeavour to remove the causes of that destitution which calls it forth, will not answer the requirements of Christian charity. This view of the subject plainly implies the necessity of com bining religious and moral instruction with the relief of bodily want, and of making the latter, as it were, a preparative for the former. And, therefore, although the primary design of the Association is, to furnish the means of administering to the extreme necessity of the poor, after due inquiry into the circumstances of each particular case, its ultimate object is, to aid in removing the moral causes which create or aggravate want; to encourage prudence, industry, and cleanliness, as parts of Christian duty, and to promote kindly feelings be tween those classes of society which are kept so far mender by the difference of their worldly conditions. And this may be effected, it is hoped, by a judicious distribution of the funds entrusted to this Association, through which individual bounty may be applied to the relief of distress without fear of misdi rection or waste. A few only of those charitable persons, who are at all times ready to give of their worldly substance to the sick and needy, have either leisure to make personal inquiry into each case which presents itself, or those habits of investi gation which are required for the detection of imposture. Dis trict Visiting Societies, when conducted on right principles, open a safe and ready channel for the distribution of pri vate alms. The description now given of the objects contemplated by this Association clearly marks out the propriety, sr rather the necessity, of attempting their attainment through the agency of the parochial clergy. They are, in virtue of their office, almoners, as well as instructors, of the people ; nor can it be doubted, that the evils under which the poorest classes labour in our crowded cities and towns, have been greatly aggravated by the inadequacy of our parochial system, with its existing machinery, to meet the wants of an overwhelming popu lation. Two things are necessary, in order to replace the social system in a healthy state ; a more direct and friendly intercourse between the different classes of society, and the general incul cation of Christian principles. In both cases the agency of the Clergy is indispensable, and will be, under the Divine blessing, effectual to these ends, if means are supplied far carrying on the work, which is now so immeasurably beyond their strength and resources. An Association, which aims at the attainment of this object, may surely assert its claim upon the charity of those whom Providence has entrusted with the means of doing good, and who are bound to use them for the glory of God, in promoting the temporal and eternal welfare of their fellow creatures. ASSOCIATION for PROMOTING the RELIEF of DESTITUTION in the METROPOLIS, and for IMPROVING the CONDITION of the POOR, by MEANS of PAROCHIAL and DISTRICT VISITING. 1.

Such incumbent, or curate, shall specify in his application the constitution of the District Visiting Society by which he proposes to dispense the money granted to him by the Commit tee, and the general objects to which it will be applied. 3. And shall render periodically to the Committee an ac count of the actual expenditure of the grant. 4. All grants shall be made for one year only, but shall be renewable upon similar application, at the discretion of the Committee.

It was the duty of the Government to combat this evil —to put it down by the opposition which it exhibited to: culpable manifestations.. Such were the Motives that led - the Government to regard as duties the. sentiments expressed in the Address. They should not quit the course of moderate and liberal policy which they pro fessed, but they should take every possible measure for the future, as well as at present, .to prevent the peace of the country from being at the mercy of rash attempts. That was the point which the Address aimed at when it declared that factions were put down, and The powbrs of the State, whilst they disdained their demonstra tions, would keep a sharp watch on their criminal ma noeuvres.' Yes, they should disdain, as they had hitherto done, all vain demonstrations. But when they' became revolting scandals, or threatening symptoms— the an nouncement, in fact, of criminal intrigues—they should resist them energetically, and, with th assistance of the Chambers, they were sure to succeed.—(Applause.) POPULAR EDUCATION. • • A public meeting of the friends of " popular ediea tion," as the bills had it, was held last evening at Marl borough Chapel, Old Kent-road, to adopt measures for establishing schools in that district on the principles of the British and Foreign School Society. The attendance was both large and respectable. Mr. B. Wood, M.P., in the absence of Mr. Hawes, M.P., occupied the chair, and was supported by Dr. Bowring, IsLP., Mr. D. W. Wire, Mr. Browne. the banker, Mr. John Donkin, Mr. William Cash, Rev. George Clayton, &c. The CHAIRMAN excused himself for saying nothing is his capacity as chairman, on the ground that he was quite unprepared for the honour, which was designed for Mr. Hawes, M.P., who would have been present., but for an accident which had happened to one of his (Mr. Hawes's) children. Mr. D - ONTIN then explained the object Of the sleeting, as stated above. Mr. J. ALDIS, in proposing the first resolution, re marked, that they were not now called upon to advocate the necessity for educating the people-the struggle now seemed to be who should educate them ; and he was glad to see that those now showed the utmost anxiety who were accustomed but a short time ago wholly to neglect the subject. The Rev. Nonconformist indulged in rather strong language. The following sentence may be taken as an example:—" We (the Nonconformists) have at any rata prevented a gorged and tyrannical priesthood from laying hold of the minds of youth, snatching from them all hopes of Christian liberty, and dragging these back to the darkness of the middle ages." He concluded by proposing a resolution to the effect that it was desir able to provide further education for the children of the working classes. Mr. W. OASIS seconded the resolution. It was also supported by Mr. S.BLACIBURN, and M. ried unanimously. Mr. B. Hawes, M.P., here entered the meeting, and was loudly cheered. Mr. B. Wood then quitted the chair, having first an nounced his intention of subscribing 50/. to the object_ Of the meeting. The Rev. G. CLAYTON proposed the next resolution. expressing approval of the principles of the British and Foreign School Society, and a determination to erect a school on the same principle in this neighbourhood. Dr. BOWRING, M.P., seconded the resolution moat cheerfully and most heartily. Meetings such as he now saw before him encouraged him in the course he had taken in opposine. the Factory Education Bill ; for he was persuaded when he opposed that Bill that the people might be left to educate themselves.—(Cheers.) It had been said that the Church of England might well under take the task of educating the people ; but how ill had the Church performed her duty during the many centu ries that she held her sway ? If they looked around ftsr the brightest spot as regarded education, they would find that in New England, where, 200 years ago, a small band of pilgrim fathers took up their abode, their descendants now declared that there was no spot on which the sun shone so well provided with the means of education. In the Protestant cantons of Switzerland, where there was no episcopacy, no one was permitted to enjoy the privi leges of citizens who could not read and write, and yet no one was excluded. In Prussia, the proportions of persons in the schools was as Ito 6. Denmark and Sweden also were much in advance of England. During the last three years he found that there were married its this country 367,894 couples, of whom 181,000 woman and 121,450 men could not sign their names to the re gister. In Leeds, only 1 person in 41 of the entire po• pulation attended any school ; in Manchester, the pro portion was 1 in 33 ; in Birmingham, 1 in 38 ; and in barbarous, despotic Russia the proportion was 1 in 48. Mr. D. W. Wire, the Rev. G. Rose, and other gentle men subsequently addressed the meeting. The Chair man also indulged in a few remarks ; and a liberal sub scription was entered into. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, JAN. 8, Six o'CLocK, O'Connell, after a powerful speech, during which his references to the State prosecutions produced a very visible impression amongst the vast assemblage, concluded by imploring his countrymen to be peaceful ; to refrain from tumult or confusion ; to observe the law strictly, and they would have a repeal of the union in connection with the Crown of England. While he lived he would prevent any separation, but when the grave closed over his mor tal remains, unless justice were done iu the meantime, it would be impossible to maintain the connection with England.—(Cheers.) The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then announced the Repeal rent for the week to be 539/. 12s. 11d. After which Mr. M"Terns.n was called to the chair, and the meeting adjourned to Mon day next. THE STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN, JAN. 9.—Summonses were this day served, by the Crown, upon several members of the Committee of the Repeal Association, who are required to attend as witnesses at the trials. Yesterday and this day sum monses were also served upon most of the reporters of the Dublin newspapers, who are required to give evidence on behalf of the Crown. As all the witnesses are to be eV eluded from the Court, unless the witnesses actually under examination, this summoning of the reporters will pro duce extreme inconvenience to the various journals to which they belong, as well as disappointment to the public. There are various rumours afloat as to volunteer witnesses for the Crown ; but nothing has transpired of a character sufficiently authentic or decided to belled upon. AGGREGATE MEETING OF ROMAN CATHOLICS. The requisition continues to be signed by the most influential Roman Catholics in Ireland, chiefly anti repealers, and many of them gentlemen of large for tune in the country, who have never taken any part in political discussions, but have been forced oat of their retirement by the exclusion of Roman Catholics from the special jury. Sir Robert Peel's subordinates in Ireland have raised a storm which he never can allay. It has been ascertained, beyond all possibility of doubt, that several of the Roman Catholics struck off by -Lbe Crown never had been connected with the Repeal Association, or in any manner whatever identified with the repeal movement. The attempt to defend the Government on this ground must, therefore, be totally unavailing. Mr. Hendrick, t wine•merchant ; Mr. Dunne, and other Ca tholic special jurors, excluded by the Crown, never had any connexion whatever with the Repeal Association. Amongst the new names signed to the requisition are the Right Hon. D. R. Pigot, Mr. Redington, M.P. - Sir Thomas Esaionde, Bart. ; Mr. J. 11. Talbot, Mr. Leni gan, of Castle Fogarty, &c. Two Roman Catholic bishops have already sent in their names. There are to be meetings in Cork and other towns. The Freeman's Journal contains the following : " Cork is in the field. We have now before us a private . letter, written on Sunday last, addressed to an in fluential gentleman in this city, from one of the first men in Cork, in which he thus speaks of the feeling excited there by the striking of the jury : 'We have had a large and influential meeting called at a moment's notice, and a requisition to the Mayor, call ing on him to convene a public meeting of the Catholics of Cork, to address the Queen and both Houses of Par liament was agreed to. I never witnessed a more deci sive expression of feeling, at the shameful conduct of the parties who sought to obtain a verdict by such means. Cork will do its duty.' We cannot doubt it, and so will Ireland. On Sunday next every Catholic congregation throughout Ireland will resolve itself into a meeting, after the devotions of the day shall have concluded, and each will give utterance to the feelings which the act of the Government is calculated to excite. Addresses to her Majesty, and to Parliament, will proceed from every . Catholic congregation." INCREASE OF THE BRAZILIAN DUTIES ON BRITISH GOODS. We (Liverpool Times) find, on examination, that the Brazilian Government has done nothing niece than the terms of the treaty between the two countries- authorises it to do, ia promulgating the increased valuations of British and other goods, which we mentioned last week. A friend of ours, who • himself assisted in framing the valuations of the tariff which has just been superseded in several of its articles, informs us that the mode of estimating the value of goods agreed upon by the two Governments, is by a Commission of merchants, partly Brazilians and partly foreigners. It was by such a Commis sion that the valuations promulgated by the Brazilian Govern ment on the 31st October, and which came into eperatioia on the same day, were drawn up. The following are the principal alterations : Old val. New vat.
