THE POLES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta—A statement has appeared in the Morning Herald and Standard of yesterday to the effect that 60Q poor Poles residing in London, and not participating iu the funds raised for their support, receive 12.s.weekly fitotn the "municificence" of the Hereditary Grand Doke •of Russia. This, if true, would be calculated to pal hate the well-known hypocrisy, cruelty, and blasphemy of the Russian Court, and is calculated to injure in the highest degree 'the charac*r of every Pole. What, Sir, 600 Poles base and degraded enough to accept alms from the Chieftain of the Cossacks !—of those very Cossacks who have cut the breasts of Polish women, violated innocence, and borne off in triumph expiring babies Falsehood—impudent falsehood! Thank Providence the liar has overshot the mark —he proclaims impossibilities. The simple fact is this ; the whole number of Poles residing in the United Kingdom is 600 300 only out of them do live in the metropolis, and, with the exception of about thirty indi viduals, we are all supported by the last Parliamentary grant. The ab ove R uss i an assert i on falls, therefore, to the ground by itself. Every Englishman may judge from Ibis of the veracity of Raissians and their friends in this country, and ought to do their utmost to defeat such vile intrigues. I most earnestly appeal hereby to every orator at the meetings of the present period to propose resolutions condemnatory of Russian impudence, tyranny, and blasphemy. Englishmen do your duty, if you do not wish to see Russian supremacy established de facto in your fatherland, as it is already all over the ontinent, from Teheran and Constantinople to Vienna 2 1isd IsZeoris. Britons do your duty, in order to prevent your name, venerated in Poland, from being branded with unmerited indignation. I appeal also to my own follow-sufferers to reject ail expediency-policy, and im mediately refresh their exertions in exposing the cunning and deep-laid schemes of Russia towards universal op pression. Let us concentrate our energies upon one point---the mask upon the face of our hideous enemy, and we will easily tear it into pieces. Fellow-country men! the emergency is of paramount importance Poles and Englishmen do mutually your duty. Fellow-soldiers ! the danger is great and imminent. Russian sway begins to bre .k ground in the capital of the civilised world! Up ! up to the breach ! I implore you, Sir, to give publicity to these my re marks ; they flow from the heart of a mourning hus band and desp,airing father—they flow from the feelings of a sincere mend of English liberty, Yours, respectfully, B. BENIOWSKI. Loudon, May 25. REPRES k ENTATION OF EDINBURGH.—At a meeting of en electors of Edinburgh in the Liberal inte ' rest, held at the Merchants' Hall, on Thursday, a letter was road from the late Speaker of the House of Commons annoutecing his resignation of his seat for Edinburgh. The Right Hon. Gentleman, after stating that he had taken the 1 , earliest opportunity of letting his late constituents know of his determination, proCeeds thus:_.. The intention of the Legisleture in Ressing the Reform Bill was to give real Ipower tjp the people, and that that power should be freely and honestly exercised. You have fulfilled the intentions of the Legislature. You have regarded the elective fran -11 ctii,e as a power that was to be used for the benefit of the public, and not for your pri.ate gain. If other constituencies had followed the same clear and honest course, it is probable that much of the present discon tent, and many of the dif f iculties in which the country is involved, would have been avoided. The efficiency and -virtue of the Reform Bill might then have been fairly tried. We should not then have seen large. sums em 'played in under m i n i ng respect f or public principle by seek: • 1 lug to seduce and corrupt a port i on of thet people whi c h i t - ' was the desire of the Legislature to raise and to elevate, by u ntrusting them with the a ctive Franchise. We might then have seen a House of Cummona returned by the free and unbias e. voice ef the people, which would sleeve given to that e* in tee S& ate which happened to be the object of their ,' recce such a majeri7y as would have enabled them to . ve conducted the Government with energy and effect." 'flirter reading thi, communication, it was proposed that Mr. Thonels Bebington Macaulay should be invited to beceme a candidate for the representation of the city, which, after some discussion, was adopted without a divisions—Edinburgh Paper. MEMOIRS OF SARAH, DUCHESS OF MARL 8011017611, AND THE COURT OF QUEEN ANNE: Bi, MN. A. T. Thomson, Authoress of " Memoirs of Henry VIII ." &e.---This is perhaps one of the best timed works that could have emanated from the press at'the present junc ture or " crisis." It is also one of the mo t complete, the author not only having consulted every valuable au thority and doctunent, but having also received valuable aid from sgeial gentlemen of the highest literary re pute. Situ as our youthful and beloved Sovereign is, with regard to her Household, tdiere are many events and passages 'connected with her predecessor, Queen Anne which are ci d by both parties i n ti ne S tate , as preeFdents more or • - s authorising, or be a ri ng u p on t h e t late expl anat i ons i n e two H ouees o f P ar li ament. But the work is profoundly interesting in many other points, holding, as it does, the mirror up to many accomplished scholars, statesmen, orators, and other public characters, whose name and fame are associated with that Augustan era.

BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONIETGE FOR 1839 . —We are requested to state that Mr. Colburn, of great Marlborough Street, has this day published ", B , a, rke's Peerag e an d B arone t a ge f o r 1839," a new en with important additions containing all the new crea tican* and much other new matter, the result of great r esearch and of communication with the various noble families, beautifully printed on a new plan in one large w oe, l'ith ata emblazoned title pate and upwards of the most engravings of Ar ms , & c. , price Tee bound; forming cem—.oete, the m ost conven i ent, and the cheapest work of the kind ever offered to the public.

The ship Fairlie, with Sir Mauri ce O'C onne ll C omman d er of the iorees- in Australia, his family and suite, and numerous other Passengers, arrived all well at Sydney. on the 6th of December. Sir Maurice was sworn in a Member of the Executive Council shortly after hit a NA HIGHLAND SOCIETY OF LONDON. On Saturday the 18th, the last Quarterl- , r's.Jrt Meeting of tnis patriotic Serf „ " tv, took place a the Freemasons' vern. The Hon. William Fraser, b!",,tnar of Lord Saltoun, was in the chair. Among other distinguished visitors, who honoured the company with their presence, were Captain Macdonald, and W. Young, Esq., president of the Highland Society of:Nova Scotia—a gentleman who bas done much to foster the mountain spirit of his native land, among the gallant people of that colony. After the usual toasts, " The Queen,"" Queen Dowager," the " Army and Navy," had been drank with Highland honours, Captain MACDONALD rose to return thanks for the Army and Navy, in the course of which he observed : While most respectfully and cordially acknowledging the distinguished compliment you have been pleased to pay to the military and naval professions, I avail myself of this opportunity of introducing to you Mr. Young, the first President of the Highland Society of Nova Scotia, lately arrived in this country, as one of the Delegates to Government from the House of Assembly of that Colony, where your Branch Societies are, by his talents, and the enthusiasm of Scotchmen, soon likely to become most use ful and infLential in promoting in the rising generation a sound British system of education, with sincere sentiments of loyalty to England and her noble institutions.—( Cheers. ) In Nuva Scotia and the adjoining provinces of New Brunswick, Cape Breton, and Prince Edward Island, there are upwards of a hundred thousand of our country men and their descendants, who, with our other fellow. colonists of English and Hill descent, will y ield to no province or country in this world in sentiments of de. voted attachment to our mos: Gracious Sovereign, and this great empire. —( Hear, hear, and cheers.) In the name of my Transatlantic countrymen, I beg to offer you all, Gentlemen, my sincerest thanks for your numerous marks of kindness, and particular:) , for having, three years since, honoured me, in conjunction with Sir Cohn Campbell and Sir John Harvey, with commissions to establish four of your Branch Societies in those flies. I hope you approve of the mariner in which your views have been accomplished ; and as my military duties may soon take me to another country, I have requested my accomplished friend Mr. Young to represent to the thou sands of our American Highlanders their great obligations to this illustrious Society, and particularly to the truly Noble Earl of Breadalbane and Sir George Murray (the right arm of the Conqueror of Napoleon), for lately so eloquently pleading our cause at the Colonial Office. All we require is, that instead of the books and schoolmasters we now generally have, that British teachers, British books, and British principles may be established among us; they will more effectually secure the colonies to the mother country than ten regiments ; they will have the effect of perpetuating to future generations our natural and eternal anxiety, that nothing in life or death shall ever separate us from this powerful and glorious empire. The Gallant Gentleman sat down amidst loud cheering. The health of Mr. Young, coupled with the High land Society of Nova Scotia, was afterwards proposed by the Honourable CHAIRMAN, and drank with en thusiasm, and Highland honours. Mr. YOUNG rose to acknowledge the honour that had been done him, and began by observing that he had seldom felt himself oppressed by so much embarrass ment. Accustomed as he had been to public speaking, for many years, at the bar and in the assembly of his own province, he was here in a new position, adddressing himself to a body of gentlemen, to all of whom he was, personally, a stftne•er, except to his friend beside him, whose partiality had led him to use the language of un merited and extravagant eulogy. It is true, Mr. Chairman, continued the Honourable Gentleman, that I took a warm interest, as well as an active part, in the formation of the Highland Society of Nova Scotia. The fame of the Parent Stock had long extended to us, but we had little expectation that so distinguished a body of our countrymen engaged in the prosecution of great national designs at home, would stretch forth to us the right hand of fellowship across the Atlantic, am!. permit us the high honour of an intimate connection. When my friend beside me, then, exhibited the Commission, addressed jointly to his Excellency Sir C. Campbell and himself; and brought his own pa triotic enthusiasm in aid of ours, we eagerly embraced the opportunity of associating together as a branch of this Society, and selecting such of its objects as seemed most adapted to our local condition. Some of them we conceived to be beyond our reach. Celtic an tiquities, of course, we have not ;—the martial spirit of our people, as of every other, depending on their own native energy, had hitherto slumbered in inaction, as the course of events had not yet summoned it into life and being ;—and the preservation of the national garb, and the music of the Highland tongue, seemed more ap propriate to the sons of the Gael, in their own native valleys, than to us whose lot had cast us in the new world. But the event has shown that where the materials are abundant, arid of a combustible character, a spark will soon light them into a vivid lime. When the plan was made known, all classes of Scotchmen and their descendants, Highlanders and Lo islanders, Catholic and Protestant, continued to a common obliv ion, whatever differences until then had divided them, and came for ward with the most cordial unanimity to enrol their names as Members of the Branch Society, and contri bute to its funds.—(Great cheering.) All acknowledged the paramount importance of the object we more espe cially aimed at, the instruction of the people, and communicating to thousands of children in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton the elements of a sound, moral, and religious training, from which they are now unhappily excluded. Nor is this all. A genuine Highland feeling has been called into play.—(Cheers.) As we are now engaged in a social meeting, you will permit me perhaps to describe our festivity as an index of the temper and disposition of the people. Something of the kind we find with us, as I believe it is with you, indispensible to the well-being of every Society, as the good wine that is now before us, lends a higher flavour and a racier zest to the objects of our graver thoughts. It was determined, therefore, at our Annual Meeting in March, that we should commemorate the formation of our own branch, and the question was, whether it should be done by a public dinner or ball. The elder por tion of eur memberspreferred the former,butthe younger, and more active carried the day, and, in order to permit the fairer half of creation to share in our festivi ties, a Highland ball was duly announced in Halifax. The effect was electrical. Old men, whose dancing days, like my own, seemed to have passed away, were seen busily engaged for days decorating the room with scarves, tartans, and claymores, and every tasteful va riety of Highland emblem.—( Hear.) We imported a capital piper, bringing him upwards of a hundred miles—(Cheers) —invited the Governor, all the heads of departments, and the officers of the army and navy, and assembled as happy a party of 500 guests as ever graced a ball-room in our province. A few cl:an-limbed, well made, and ardent sons of the Isles gave us a spe cimen of the Highland fling—( Hear, heat)—and the very spirit of enjoyment and uninterrupted good humour presided over and enlivened the scene. Fashionable dances with tv , , and I presume in England also, thoudi 1 have not yet had the opportunity of personal obser vation, are distinguished by a certain elegant langour. Some of our finest belles and most fastidious gal lants looked on at first with amazement ; but one after another yielded to the infection of the hour, and before the evening was closed, it was uni versally admitted that the airy mazes of the qumirillo and the fascinating and graceful move- inents of the waltz nitist viell to the Hie uui anima tion of the geeuineland reel, daf cod to the stirring music of ;he bagpipe.—(Hear, hear.) So much, Mr. Chairman, for matters of lighter moment, and now a f.w words for such ►►s are of gra►er import. Much has been sai,l of Lite of the loyalty of the British North American Provinces, and we have been called upon in various ways to proclaim it. In the Lower Provinces this is new to us—our loyalty was never talked of, because it was never questioned. It was as,umed as a matter of course, just as it would now be in Aliddlesex or in Edinburgh.—(Cheers.) In Nova Scotia and in I\i-'w Brunswick we look upon ourselves not as the inhabitants of a depend;ney—not as Colonists to be held sep,rate and dis iuct in an y sense from our feflow subjects at home,—but as a part and parcel of the British Empire, participltiog in the affections, feelings, and prejudices, if yo u please, and claiming all the immunities of Bri tish subjects.-4 Continued cheering.) Were we even dis posed to unite with Canada, we have not strength to maintain an independent government, end if we cease to be Britons, we must fall into the embrade of the American Rep , O)lic—a con,ummation devoutly to he feared.—( Hear.) Sir, we have watched with the keenest anxiety, the progress of that mighty experiment, now on trial in the United States, and have no de,ire to mingle our destiny with theirs. I have travelled in that country, and have the honour of being personally acquainted with many of her most eminent statesmen. I have heard the most ingenious defences that can be made of their institutions, and am more and more con firmed in the ardent, enthusiastic attachment, which I derive from birth and education, to British institutions, When my father, some five and twenty years ago, car ried me across t h e A t l ant i c, and sett l ed i n a British colony, was I less a Scotchman thin before, or incapa citated on th a t account f rom f ul fi ll i ng all the d ut i es, an d enjoying all th e pr i v il eges o f a B r iti s h su bj ect ? No where, in the wide extent of her dominions, has the Queen a body of men more devoted to her Government, and more ready to peril their lives and fortunes in her defence, than the inhabitants of Nova Scotia.--(Hear.) lids no longer depends upon mere profession. During the last session of Assembly, in the midst of an interesting debate, we received the as t oun di ng intelligence, that the State of Maine had dared to invade the territory of 1 .! ; . E m ir! o,:e simultaneous burst of indignation rok.; ::1) , . , 11•3.) All b , l,itiess was in- ME SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 27, 1839 stantly suspended—all party divisinng i m a ie d— a nume- ! rous Committee e-- ' for --pointed, and the House adjourned tew hours, that resolutions adequate to so extra ordinary an occasion might be framed. We required no time for deliberation, it was enough that our Sister Pro vince was in danger.—(Hear, hear.) Our hearts told us what we ought to do. I wish, Sir, that the British Government could have witnessed the scene of that night. We unanimously voted 100,0001., a very large sum, when compared with our whole revenue of 65,000/. ; and put 8,000 men of our militia at the disposal of the Commander-in-Chief. The immense multitude which thronged every avenue of our Province Hall, greeted these resolutions with cries of enthusiastic ardour, which plainly showed that we were representing in the Legis lature the genuine feelings of the people —( Cheers, and Hear, hear.) Sir, Great Britain, in some unhappy hour of divided councils, or ignorant negocistion, may perchance forget what is due to us and to herself. She may cast from her the warm hearts that would cling to her with the fondest affection, and the strong arms that are nerved for her defence in the New World. She may, perchance, abandon us—we will never voluntarily abandon her. Abandon our rights as Englishmen ! Never, never !—(Great cheering.) Here I have a right to speak as one of the Delegates of Nova Scotia. I landed a fery days ago at Falmouth, anti touched for the first time the English soil. I proceeded into De vonshire—in the morning surveyed in the Ply mouth dorky ard all the triumphs of modern art, ad% anted to their highest perfection, and in the evening of the same day was struck with astonisinto nt and awe by the an cient ma2nificetice of the cathedral at Exeter.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, lam not much given to the indulgence of strong emotions, my temperament being rather of a sober and rt flective cast. But as I stood in silent con templation, I felt my heart swell within me—swell with a proud sense of superiority, that I was a native and subject of this mighty empire. Which of the two, 1 asked myself, is more worthy of admira tion—the English genius of the eleventh century, that struck out this magnificent creation, or the British genius of the nineteenth, that has matured these noble combinations of power, and opulence, and skill ? (Hear, hear.) And think you, Mr. Chairman, that we will easily separate from a land that has held so glorious a career for centuries, and still exhibits all the signs of au en4uring and youthful vigour ? No, Sir—l have gauntly described to you my own feelings ; they are shared by thousands ; I may say, indeed, they are universal in the Lower Provinces, with whose opinints and sympathies I am intimately acquainted. —( Cheers.) One of the main objects of our Society is to propagate and strengthen this truly British feeling, by instructing the people and enabling them thoroughly to apprehend the important truth, that the security of life and property and true happiness are enjoyed in higher perfection under a limited constitutional monarchy, than under any form of Republican Government.( Hear.) Your Noble President, the Marquis of Breadalbane, when he headed the deputation to the Colonial Office in our behalf, little imagined that the President of the new branch in Nova Scotia, sat with him on the same forms at Glasgow College, and imbibed the same lessons of philosophy. I recollect as it were but yesterday the first speech his Lordship ever delivered, and, as Lord Glenorchy, he then displayed the germ of those talents which have since been so happily matured, and endeared himself by the same unassuming manners and virtues which I was happy to hear eulogised to-night.—( Hear, hear.) With his powerful influence, and that of the So ciety, I trust that some effective measure may be aided by the co-operation of Government, and that a province rich as ours confessedly is with mineral wealth, and in habited by a population of 200,000 souls, many of whom may be considered as the pioneers of civilization, will not be altogether neglected because it is at a distance.— (Hear.) This,Sir,l feel to be a subject of the deepest in terest, and susceptible of a great extent and variety of il lustration. But I have already encroached too much on the time dedicated to social purposes.—( Cries of " No.") Here then I must pause, with the assurance that at no moment of my life have I felt more highly honoured and gratified than by the reception I have met with at this board, and which the body whom I represent will receive as the most flattering compliment that could have been paid to themselves. As such I account it, for I am far from supposing that any merits of my own could have obtained for me so gratifying a distinction.— (Great cheering for some minutes.) Several other speeches followed, and the remainder of the evening passed off with right good Highland fellowship, the bagpipes occasionally playing up to the spirit of the scene, which was enlivened by—" The garb of Old Gaul, and the fire of Old Rome." Liktided and Commercial Interests of this country ;" " The Wooden Walk of Old England ;"" The Alt mory of the late Earl of Eldon ;" " Ships, Colonies, and Commerce ;" and " Prosperity and Perpetuity to the Pitt Club," followed. The Chair was vacated at a quarter past eleven o'clock, and the Noble Chairman and the other guests retired. cation, from the benefits of which any number of children shall be excluded by religious tests. In adopting measures for the improvement of the existing methods of instruction, by the foundation of a normal school, with the public funds, the rights of Conscience %voted have beets violated if the members of religious communities not connected with the Established Church had been deprived of the secular benefits of such an institution, by the adoption of any religious tests excluding them from a participation of those benefits. The controversy which has arisen upon this sub ject appears, therefore, to relate rather to the detail of the arrangements necessary for this object, than to the principles on which those arrangements should be bascd, if the preceding premises be ad mitted ; and respecting those details it ought to be remembered, th , t the plan adopted by the Com mittee of Council was approved, subject to such alterations as experience might thereafter suggest. That part of the arrangements in the Normal School which is the chief subject of animadversion in your letter, is comprised in the extracts from the minutes of the .Committee of Coun cil, Nos. 3,4, 5,6, 7,8, and 9. By these minutes the Committee avow their intention primarily to make ample provision for the religion , i instruction of the children trained in the model school, whose patents or guardians belong to the Established Church, by the appointment of a chaplain, who is to be a permanent officer of the normal school. " The religious instruction of the children is to be considered as general and special ;" and you appear to view with suspicion that part of the religious instruction which is described as ge nera; yet I may be permitted to remind you that our Saviour, who left 'us a form of prayer, has also given us an example of instruction in his Sermon on the Mount, by which we are taught how the practical duties of life may be inculcated with the sanction of his authority. In such instruction heresies are not found; and it is to prevent their introduction into the school, and it the same time to carry into execution " the wish expressed by her most gracious Majesty, both that the youth of this kingdom should be religiously brought up, and that the rights of conscience should be respected,' " —that provision is made for " periods to be set apart for such peculiar doctrinal instruction as may be required for the religious training of the chil dren, while at all oth er p er i o d s , following the example of our Divine Teacher, " religion is to be combined with the whole matter of instruction, and to regulate the entire system of discipline." You will permit me to observe, that I am unable to reconcile the approval you express in the early part of your letter, of the grants made to the British and Foreign School Society, in which religious instruction is professedly confined to the reading of the Scriptures without comment, and the observations at the close of that letter, in which you insist on direct doctrinal instruction being mingled with the whole course of teaching, as essential to asound education. As respects the hours of special religious instruc tion, it is provided, that " the parent or natural guardian of any" child, " not belonging to the Established Church," may "be permitted to secure the attendance of the licensed minister of his own persuasion, at the period appointed for special religious instruction, in order to give such instruc tion apart," that is, in an apartment separate from the school. Precisely similar arrangements are prescribed by the Poor Law Amendment Act, in clauses which were amended and modified at the instance of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, far the special religious instruc tion of children of inmates of workhouses, not be longing to the Establish e d Ch urc h, an d they have not been found to be the source of any inconve nience; nor have I heard that they have been ob jected to by the clergy. The minute which proposes to appoint a licensed minister to give such epecial instruction whenever the number of children in the school belonging to any particular sect is such as to appear to the Committee to- require such special provision, is a conditional arrangement, which, it should be care fully borne in mind, relates only to the model school, in common with the preceding provisions for special religious instruction. Such an appoint ment is not intended in any other school, because in all other schools the assistance of the Govern ment is to be regarded as coining in aid of private or public voluntary exertions, chiefly for the purpose — of - procuring an improvement_ in the meth - rids of instruction ; and in reference to ' the observations respecting this provision, made by a Right Rev. Prelate whose opinions are entitled to the most respectful attention, I must remind von that it forms one of the prominent features of the plan proposed to be adopted, that a chaplain should be appointed as a permanent officer of the normal school, while the appointment of any other reli gious teacher is conditional. At the hour of special religious instruction in the model school, it the parents or natural guar dians of any child, being Roman Catholics, reques' that he may be withdrawn to a separate apartment ; in order to seceive such religious instruction apart, the child, under such circumstances, may be per mitted to read the Catholic version of the Scrip tures—a provision which appears a necessary corol lary from the permission of docrinal instruction, with due respect to the rights of conscience. These are the arrangements by which it is in tended that 450 children shall be " religiously brought up, while the rights of conscience are re spected," in a public institution founded for the purpose of more effectually preparing a body of teachers for the instruction of the poorer classes in different parts of the country. It is scarcely ne cessary to repeat that the model school is not in tended to be applied as, in all respects, a type of schools in other parts of the country, the circum stances of which may materially differ, but its ar rangements are to be regarded as applicable solely to the children trained in this school. That part of the plan which relates to the candidate teachers provides for the religious instruction of those belonging to the Established Church, by the chaplain of the normal school, and commits the religious instruction of the rest, when required, to their own religious teachers. I do not presume to pretend that there are no " difficulties opposed by existing religious differences to the benevolent object contemplated in these pa pers, the extension of the blessings of a sound and religious education ;" but am I presumptuous in the hope that it it be conceded, that a paramount necessity exists for the immediate adoption of ex pedients for this purpose by the creati on o f a normal school, thos e w h o " y lament that any of their fellow-subjects dissent from the doctrine and discipline of the National Church," yet " cordially subscribe to the wish expressed by her most Gra cious Majesty, both that the youth of this king dom should be religiously brought up, and that the rights of conscience should be respected," will apply themselves rather to the suggestion of alte rations in the details not liable to graver objections than those started against the arrangements of the foregoing plan, than to the imputation of monstrous designs to its authors ? When you gravely assert that the minutes of the Committee provide a 4. summary way" for super seding the clergy, for diminishing the number of children educated by the Established Church, and destroying her influence ; or when you " say, with all the solemnity of conviction. that its effect, if carried out, will be not only to subvert the National Church, but to destroy all pure religion in the land; to produce general scepticism and infidelity ; and to pave the way for the restoration of popery ;" I venture to hope that a plain exposition of those de tails which concern religious instruction, and the relative position of the religious teachers in the normal school, may relieve your mind, and the imaginations of those to whom You have addressed Yourself, from some monstrous conception which has no foundation in fact. The objects of the Committee of Council would be defeated if the normal school failed to provide, in the most effectual manner, "the blessings of sound and religious education" for the teachers trained there, or to ensure that the children of the model school "should be religiously brought up, and that the rights of conscience should be respected." If this letter narrow the grounds of controversy, by removing any misconceptions of the views and intentions of the Committee of Council hitherto entertained, and if it be found in all respects con sistent with the respectful deference which is due to the Established Clergy in what relates to the reli gious instruction of those who are committed to their spiritual care, the object a the writer will have been fulfilled. I have the honour to be your obedient servant, JAMES PHILLIPS KAY. London, May 2b, 1832. . - PITT CLUB. The Anniversary Dinner of the Pitt Club, in com memoration of the birthday of Mr. Pitt, was given on Saturday night at the London Tavern. Lord Redes dale presided. The following Noblemen and Gentlemen supported the Noble Lord :—The Earl of Harewood, the Earl of Eldon, Lord Skelmersdale, Lord Kenyon, Lord Farn ham, Lord Hotham, M,P., Hon. W. Du ncom b e , M.P ., Hon. Lloyd Kenyo u , Si r John Gibbon, Bart., Sir G. H. Smythe. Bart., M.P., Sir J. Chetwood, Bart., Sir John Croft, Bart., Sir R. P. Glyn, Bart., Col. Conolly ; M.P., John Round, Esq., M.P., A. Goddard, Esq„ • M.P., Col. Daubeny, John Farrel-, Esq., Edward Van sittart Neale, Esq., J. H. Whitmore Jones, Esq. About a hundred persons sat down to dinner, which was of a good quality and served in excellent style. Messrs. Hobbs, Horncastle, Hawkins, Chapman, Bellamy, and Hawes, with Masters Chip and Martin, greatly enliveWtd the proceedings of the evening with several capital catches, glees, and solos. After the cloth was removed, and Non Nobis Domini sung by the professional gentlemen present, The CUAIRMAN proposed the first toast on the list, " The Queen." In doing so he said that, although at the present moment the party to which they belonged did not bask in the sunshine of Court favour, they were men not, thank God, in the slightest degree depressed. They had r.ot succeeded in the object of their ambition ; but they had done the next best thing, they had deserved success. And this they bad done with ' out sacrificing a single principle to popular clamour, or an Leta of their independence as a party to the votes of a few Radical Members in the House of Com mons. Though they had, at present, lost the counte nance of the Queen they were satisfied with the cir cumstance, inasmuch as they had taken the most ef fectual course to serve her Majesty and the country— (Hear, hear, hear)—and he was satisfied that by following that course they would ultimately re ceive the best thanks of the Sovereign. The Noble Lord then went into a brief, but detailed history of party during the reigns of the three preceding Kings, for the purpose of proving that the first, by hating the Whigs, secured the happiness of his people, and that the two last, George IV. and William IV. abandoned them upon principle when they came to understand the duties of Sovereign. The young and excellent lady who ruled these realms at present would, he had no doubt, when the veil of delusion was cast from her mind, dis card them also ; and then she would condemn their policy as much as she now seemed to approve it. A policy which alienated from the throne the affections of the Nobility, the Gentry, the Universities, and the pro perty of the country, was one which could not long stand the test of reason ; and once the Queen of this country had her eyes opened, it was impossible that she could sanction it. The present anomalous state of things could not last long, and a time would soon come when the Sovereign, in self-defence, would have to turn to the Conservative leaders for advice, and the Conservative party for support. Then they would be as ready to support her Majesty with all loyalty, as they were now to drink her loving health and long life. The Noble Lord then gave '° Our Sovereign Lady the Queen." " God save the Queen."—This toast was drunk with three times three, and all the honours. " The Queen Dewager and Le rest of the Royal Family," followed, and was drunk with three times three, all the honours, and great enthusiasm. Glee— " Health to Queen Adelaide." The CHAIRMAN then proposed, " The immortal Me mory of the late Right Hon. Wllliamm Pitt." Glee —(six voices), ‘• The Cloud-capt Towers." " The Navy and Army of the United Kingdom"—" Rule Bri tannia." Colonel CONOLLY returned thanl:s for the army. Lord HOTIJAM, return,d thanks for the Nary. " The House of Brunswick, and may they,l never forget the principles which seated them on the Throne of these realms." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing this toast, said that at the present moment, when her Majesty's Ministers were trusting so much to O'Connell and his tail— (Cheers)—it might be permitted to all true Conserva tives to express the hope contained in it. Glee--" With a Jolly full bottle." The CHAIRMAN then said, he proposed the next toast, because he believed that on it depended the right of the Sovereign to the Throne and the civil and riligious liberty of the country. " The Protestant Ascendancy."—( Great cheering.) Glee—" Great Apollo strike the lyre." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said that it only required a glance around the room to prove that the principles of Mr. Pitt were not, as their opponents asserted, out of fashion, obsolete, and unfitted for the present times. He then entered into a long eulogium on the acts of that Minister, attributing to him the sal vation of England at a period of universal anarchy ; and he strongly condemned those of the present Ministry.— " May the principles of Mr. Pitt always animate the Councils of Great Britain."—(Cheering) Song, by Mr. Hobbs—" The Pilot that weathered the Storm." " The Duke of Wellington and the House of Lords replied to by the Earl of Harewood. " Sir Robert Peel and the Conservative Members of the House of Commons ;" replied to by W. Duncombe, Esq., M.

KENNEDY, SHREWSBURY SCHOOLS. REVEREND SIR,-The columns of the London Papers Papers contains a letter extracted from the Salo. plan Journal, as addressed by you to the inhabi tants of Shrewsbury, calling their attention to a pe tition respecting National Education, which is now in course of signature in that town. The object of your letter appears to be to sup port the grave charge which )ou make against the Dian announced in the minutes of the " Committee of Council appointed to superintend the appli cation of any sums voted by Parliament for the purpose of promoting Public Education.'' You characterize this plan in the following terms : The Established Church educates too large a number of the children of the poor ; this will not do for her enemies. She is marked for destruction ; her clergy must be superseded—her influence de stroyed. And a summary way has been devised to this end." A chare of this nature from a Clergyman, hold ing an honourable and responsible situation, at the the head of one of the principal schools of this country, and thus entitled to attention on questions relating to public education, appears to require some notice. I have, therefore, permission from the Committee of Council to address the following explanations to you, in the hope that they may re move even from your own mind the groundless suspicions which you entertain, and prevent their dissemination. First, let me remove an impression, to the ex position of which a large portion of your letter is devoted. You labour to establish a connection be tween the proceedin g s of the Committ ee o f P r i vy Council, and those of a Society established a few year ago, under the name of the Central Society of Education. It is not necessary for me to express any opinion respecting the character of that Society, but I can distinctly state to you that no connection exists between its acting members, and the pro ceedings of the Committee of Privy Council. I may, however, inform you that the Society pro fesses to admit into its annual publications different and even conflicting views on the subject of educa tion, and that its members have never held them selves answerable for opinions on controverted points admitted into their volumes. The cir cumstance that a paper published in the Second Volume of that Society contains suggestions of a plan resembling, to a partiel ex tent, that proposed by the Government, is in no respect remarkable ; as the King of the Nether lands, at the close of the continental war, adopted similar expedients for the improvement of primary education in Belgium, which, being attended with great success, h ave b ecome a p art o f t h e hi story o f that country, doubtless known to the author of the paper you have quoted. When I assure you that the author of that paper had no connexion what soever with the suggestion or preparation of the plan adopted by the Committee of the Privy Council, you will perceive that you were in error in attempting to make the Committee in any respect responsible for the sentiments and opinions coo tained in that paper, but which you quote to a much greater extent where it is not in accordance with the minutes and views of the Committee, than where it is. It is quite unnecessary, therefore, that I should notice any of your remarks on the extracts you have made, as you were altogether in error in representing them as the opinions of the Com mittee, and in proceeding to sum up your com ments on the minutes of the Committee, with your remarks on these extracts. It is more important that I should state, as briefly as possible, the objects proposed to be ac• camplished by the plan, the general principles of which are stated in the minutes of - the Committee of Privy Council. The proceedings of the Committee are grounded on their conviction that the methods of instruction generally adopted in schools for the working classes in this country are so inefficient, that an increase in the number of such schools would be by no means an unequivocal good. The Committee were induced to believe that an editcatiom more suited to the wants of the poorer classes, and more capable of preparing them for the discharge of their domestic, social, and religious duties, will pro cure a larger amount of public sympathy and co-operation for " the extension of the blessings of sound and religious education,'' than could be obtained by the tlistribution of grants, having for their object only an increase of the num ber of schools conducted on the existing systems. ['he Committee, therefore, determine "to expend in grants for building schools, not more, in any one year, than 10,0001. ;" they propose granting a suoi " not exceeding 2,500/. to the National Society, and the British and Foreign School Society, for the establishment of the normal schools ;" and the rest of the proposed annual grant of 30,0001. they intend to expend in founding aid supporting a normal school, in gratuities to deserving teachers, and in providing for the inspection of schools, aided by public grants. Though the Parliamentary vote sought is small, the Committees have from the evidence laid before them of the want o f su ffi c i ent l y qua lifi ed teachers, or classesthe orffionfac may been of rt led me teacher h e school,r to i n believe, schools,, t which f o at r candidates establishment he poorer ore acquire the knowl e d ge necessary for th e exerc i se o f their future profession, and may be practised in the most approved methods of religieus and moral training and instruction," will promote the extension of the benefits of a useful education among the poorer classes, more rapidly than if a much more con siderable sum were expended on the extension of the education given in the existing schools. The minutes of the Committee are chiefly oc cupied with an account of the plan of this normal school ; and hence an erroneous impression appears to have been ddruseo that the plan proposed by the Committee for the management of the normal school is intended to be enforced in primary schools throughout the country, or at least in all schools aided by public grants. Because provision is made i n the normal school for the education of children in what is called a model school, it is erroneously presumed that every school, aided by the grants - of the Committee, or supplied with teachers from the normal school, must not only in troduce the methods by which secular instruction is conveyed, and provide for such instruction to a similar extent, but that they are to adopt the same arrangements for giving religious instruction, and especially t o secure in- the same manner, at the request of parent s not belonging to the Establish ment, the separate religious instruction of their chil dren by licensed ministers of their own persuasion, at periods devoted to such peculiar doctrinal instruc tion as may be required. This erroneous impres sion has apparently induced you to state that " the clergy are to be superseded," whereas the arrange ments of th e mo d el school, in these res p ec ts, are to be regard e d as resulting from those difficul ties, to which all us i on is made in the petition f rom the University o f O x f ord in the following terms : The petiti oners " do not conceal from t h e mselves the difficulties opposed by ex i st i ng re ligious diffe rences, to th e extens i on of publ i c e d uca tion ; and deeply as th ey l ament that any of t h e i r fellow. subjects sh ou ld dissent from the discipline of t h e N ational Church, t h e y c ordi a lly subscribe d subscribe t o t h e ex the youth of t his tressed doctrine or by her most gracious M a j esty, both ' t kingdom sho u ld be religiously brought up , and that the rights of conscience should be respected.' This pas sage i n the petition from t h e U n iversity o f Oxford, ind uces me to believe, t h at t h e petition ers concur with t h e C ommittee, in regar di ng the existing means for the education of the poorer classes of this quality and extent. The pet i t i oners can hardl y fail at the same time to perceive the growth of the i as lam enta bl y d e f ective , both in their c ) o o ti p l u it la ry r , convicti on , t h at t h e i n terference of the Executive G overnment is necessar y to the removal of these sills that whatever barr i er may be erected aga i nst the i nter f eren ce of th e State, the .accumulating we i g h t and pressure of public opinion will, ere long, break it clown ; awl that wh en t h at period shall arrive, the public innos cannot b e app li e d to a Plan- of national cdue EVES N G EDITION. _ .__.. en ______ resa L i ster, Lou i sa J en ki nson , G.
