The following is a.more detailed account of the Annual Meeting of the Subscribers to this excellent Insti tution, which was held at the Central School-house, Baldwin's gardens, Gray's-inn-lane, on Wednesday last, than has hitherto appeared :—There were present the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishops of London, Salisbury, Chester, Wor'- cester, Exeter, and Landaff, ,Lords Kenyon and Calthorpe, Sir James Langham, Mr. Wilberforce, &c. &c. The Arch bishop of CANTERBURY took the Chair. The Reverend Dr. Walmsley, honorary Secretary, read the Report of the Com mittee for the last year, by which it appeared that 82 new schools had been formed in different parts of the kingdom, making the total number of schools 1790, in which were in structed. upwards of 250,000 . children, being an increase of up wards of 12,000 over the number of .the preceding year. The Committee had given 3,4251. towards establishing 39 schools. he total receipts of the Society for thejtar,amoinited to 3,6341., and their funded propertY amounted to 3,6001.—The A_rchhishop• of Canterbury, us soon as , the Report had been read,. proposed that it should be received and adopted. It is a most remarkable. circumstance, as it strikes my mind, observed his Grace, that an Institution has been maintained, for the spaes Of eleven years, by the private contributions of a very small number of persons; a considerable proportion of whoni are now present. Small indeed has been their number, compared with the exten sive usefulness of their labours ; which, within the period I have mentioned, have formed establishments for the 'risque-, don of youth in sound morals and true religion, throughout so many parts of this United Kingdom and its dependencies. You have indeed largely Wanted the system throughout the empire, but much remains to do : there are yet many places in which no schools exist, and there are others where your exer tions will be required to support those which are already founded. You have heard with regret, that, in some in stances, schools have fallen to decay. This has been supposed to result from the peculiar distresses of the times.. I 4 e may indulge the hope that these causes will not long remain ; but perhaps the fact has arisen from other causes not so satisfac tory to reflect upon, but" which lead me to observe to my brethren, that the education of the people properly, and of right, belongs to the Parochial Clergy, and that it is their pecu culiar duty to look to the instruction of the poor.--Lord•Ken yon proposed the thanks of the. Meeting to the Archbishop of Canterbury, for his Continued services as President of the So ciety.—Sir James Langham, Bart., John Round, Esq., and Lord Calthorpe, each addressed the Meeting :—" The growing usefulness of this Society," said his Lordship, " appears to me at the present moment to have peculiar claims to our support. When we find the friends of baneful doctrines so industrious in the dissemination of their infidelity and blasphemy,: how strongly are we called upon to uphold an Institution, which at at an age when the human mind is most open to impressions of good or of evil, instils into its pupils that pure, sober, • reason able, active piety, which the doctrines :and the:services of our ,Church are equally calculated to teach; encourage, and in •spire."—The Archbishop of York proposed thanks to the-Trea.:' surer, Joshua Watson, Esq., whose time and whose purse were ever dedicated to the service of this Society, or of some other institution of charity or benevolence,. but whose retiring mo " desty would be too much wounded by the public mention of his merits, to permit his Grace to speak longer on a theme on which he would otherwise delight to dwella-,The Bishop of Salis bury seconded the motion, and Mr. Watson expressed the pleasure he experienced in finding his services acceptable, and his readiness to continue them.—The. Bishop of:.Chester pro posed thanks. to the Ladies' Committee ; and the Bishop of Llandatf to the Secretary.—Dr. Wahnsley expressed his ac knowledgments for the favourable notice of, hislabours, and hoped, 'that, through- , the kind assistance of Mr. Johnson, he might be able to continue them.—The Bishop of London said, the Report shews the plan is extending itself through every. part of the country.. Can we then.forget the person who was the original inventor of the system,. and who may be called the . father of each school, and may look upon them all as so many families, 'which have .originated - froth" himself ?—Sir James 'Anglian, in seconding the-motion, observed, that whilst Dr. Bell was in their thoughts, he had reason to believe that., they were much in his, the Doctor having stated his great; regret at being prevented attending. The increase of the num ber. of schools, observed Sir James,.does not necessarily imply much extension in• the knowledge, of the system itself. We have many of us observed, that the Masters of country. schools have often been more anxious to display some ofsthe mere contrivances and evolutions which strike the eye of an ordinary ' observer, than to impart to their scholars that perfect know ledge and intelligence of each particular lesson, which should form the basis of that which-is to follow, with a view to bring all other kthools to the standard of excellence exhibited in this. I beg to suggest the idea of appointing Masters, whose pecu liar duty it may be, with the concurrence and at the request of the Managers of other schools,• to examine the state of each, to acquaint the public with the merits of those which may be well conducted, and to regulate and reform those which stand in need of correction.—We have much pleasure in stating, that in several parts of England the Clergy of some of the principal towns, who have by their superintendance of the greater schools become most practically versed in the National System, have at their individual charges performed circuits throughout con siderable districts, and have thereby not only restored to order many schools in which the plan was imperfectly followed, but' have also introduced it into others in which it was before un known.—The Bishop of Worcester, the Rev. Dr. Shepherd, Archdeacon ,Cambridge, Archdeacon Watson, Lord Kenyon, and Archdeacon Pott, severally moved and seconded the usual votes of thanks ; and after supplying the vacar..ies in the Com mittee, the Meeting adjourned. THE WEATH ER. . . Extract from a Meteorological Journal for May, 1822, kept at B the Observatory of the Academy (Dr. uRNEY'S) Gosport. " The first part of this month was cold, with several wet days, and very blighty winds from E. and N.E. which cut off much of the young fruit, particularly pears and plums, and partly burnt many of the leaves on the windward side of the trees : the ',ado' part, from the 12th, was generally fair, with scorching sunshine, equal to what is felt in the height of sum mer, notwithstanding the winds prevailed from the eastern side of the meridian. Much gossamer appeared throughout the period, both within doors and about the walls and trees : its texture was remarkably fine, and the webs of the common size, having been spun by very small spiders that are peculiar to the present season. Slugs, grubs, palmer and shell snails, have this month augmented in size and numbers, and have made much havoc in the gardens. " From the increased temperatire since the 12th inst. the mean thermometrical heat of this month is 4 deg. and 2-fifths. higher than the mean heat of May for the last seven years: it is nearly 70 deg. higher than the mean of last May, and 65-100th of a degree higher than that of last June ! Although the barometer has been gentle in its elevations and depressions, yet uncommon changes have occurred in the diurnal tempera ture of the air, as well as in spring water. On the 12th the external thermometer only rose to 52 deg., and on the 21st, it rose to aoi deg. in the shade--a difference of 28} deg. at the same hours in the afternoon in the short interval of nine days. The heat of the 21st, which kept up till nearly 6 P.M. was equal to the hottest day of last summer, and 21 deg. higher than in any day of May during the last seven years ! " The dry winds and hot sunshine have also produced an unusually great evaporation, upwards of half a foot in depth ; and several heavy thunder-storms have been felt in London, Birmingham, &c. " The atmospheric phenomena that have come within our observation this month, are one anthelion, three parhelia, five Solar halos, lightning in the evenings of the sth and 16th, and one gale of wind from the West." Between three and four o'clock on Tpesday afternoon, a heavy thunder-storm from the north-west passed over this city. The peals were loud and frequent, and tht lightning remarkably vivid. It was accompanied by a mixed shower of rain and hail of such violence that the lower parts of the Old Town were completely inundated in a few minutes.— The flood was so great, and at the same time so sudden, that two children, who had been amusing themselves at the back of the Castle, were surrounded by the water rushing down to the North Loch, and would inevitably have been drowned, had not a boy gone in and carried them out.—( Edinburgh Courant,• June 6.) s FOR THE SUN. STATE OF EUROPE. MR. EDITOR-The mind that delights to roam in the wide field of political speculation, must ne cessarily view the present situation of affairs, both in Europe and in America, with consider able interest. Such a mind cannot be' deluded by the Vain semblance of cairn and quietude which seems td prevail in one portion of the globe, but will rather compare them to the awful stillness in the air, which is frequently the fore runner of an approaching storm. However smiling outward appearances may seem, the practised eye,or the deep reflecting mind,can pierce through the deceitful vision, and perceive the genius of , discord and of anarchy, silently, but actively, employed in undermining the peace and the hap piness of society. That this opinion is not the mere phantasm of a timid mind, nor the idle vi- Sions -of a weak alarmist, is proved abundantly by the spirit of insurrection which evidently exists, not only in Ireland but in France, and in other parts of Europe, where it is, how efer,- more confined by the strong hand of power. For it must be obvious that in times Of difficulties and -of trouble the peace and tranquillity of a State can be better preserved and more effectually secured under an absolute than under a limited or mixed form of Govern ment ; because the former, by forbidding at once every discussion on its acts and operations, pre vents the fatal effects which seditious writings, or incendiary speeches, generally produce upon the mind of the unreflecting multitude. It does not, however, in the least follow from this that the existence of such a Government is proof against the operations of those who may undertake its destruction ; but the progress of these operations must be less rapid-in their march, and, better con oealed in 'their organization. Hence the decisive explosion is generally, more sudden, more unex pected, and consequently more fataland terrific. It is, indeed, easy to counteract the open attacks of an avowed enemy -; but-how'guard against the secret machinations of a foe that-conceals -his deadly purpose- beneath the mask of friendship, and of.devoteduess a- - Notwithstanding the innumerable difficulties against which the Government of this country had. to contend,it hasOowever, succeeded in quench ing the rising flames of sedition,- nod in stifling the voice of - anarchy, conveyed to the:public ear through - the captious , medium of Radical Reform. The just severity-with which the law has visited the open propagators of these pernicious doctrines has much abated the zeal of the secret abettors of rebellioniAnd by a steady - perseverance in a line - of conduct at once so firm, so equitable, and so praiseworthy, the peace of the country may remain undisturbed, and the fabric of social order will stand firm and unshaken.—ln Ire land the case is, unfortunately, widely dif ferent. The principles of discord and of disaf fection originate, in that country, in several local causes. They must be attributed as much to the reat sufferings of the Nation (a most dreadful and heart-rending_ picture of which was laid some time since before the House of Commons by an Honourable Baronet,) as to the peculiar charac ter of the people, and to the active interference of disloyal and discontented men. What mea sures the wisdom of Parliament may devise to al leviate the sufferings of the Irish people, it is difficult to foresee, more especially with the pre kent financial embansssments of the country ; but it is most devoutly to be hoped that some effec tual remedy will be discovered and-applied.— This consideration is no less deserving the serious attention-of the Legislature, than the distressing situation to which the Agriculturists are unfortu nately reduced-; for both are engines which the evil-disposed will not fail to set at work - for the purpose of disturbing public tranquillity; The same spirit of disaffection, and a similar disposition to effect a change, may be traced in every continental State, and -in all of them is the march of the Government more or less embar rassed by this avowed or concealed inclination. It was their conviction that such a secret dispo-, sition did exist, that induced many of the So vereigns of Europe to guarantee their respec= tive existence, and gave birth to the Holy Al liance. This spirit of innovation, after breaking forth in Spain with irresistible violence, was smothered, but not extinguished, in Naples, and has now reared its terrific head in Portugal and in Turkey. Nor are its operations confined to these distant parts of our Continent; they have assumed a form somewhat serious in a neighbour ing country, thus proving that the revolutionary volcano which broke out there with such de structive force within the space of thirty years, is far from being wholly extinguished. The events, so much of them, however, as we are allowed to discover, that have recently happen ed in France, must occasion no trifling degree of alarm in the minds of every kind of legitimate Monarchy, for its future tranquillity. The political horizon of that country se e ms indeed overcast with many a threateoing cloud, and it is highly probable that the demise of Louis XVIII. would bring the fate of his dynasty to a crisis. Although the partial disturbances that have broken out in various parts have' not as sumed a serious aspect, they still prove that the abettors of rebellion are actively employed, and they are, no doubt, intended to try the temper and disposition of the people; and more especially of the soldiery. If supported by a loyal army, and faithfully assisted by an active Police, the cause of legithnacy..must eventually prevail ; but should these two main props fail, the whole fabric must fall to the ground. There are un doubtedly in France, as in every other country, la set of men who sincerely wish to enjoy the PRICE' SEVENPENCP;. sweets of 'peace, under the protection of: ,the ex isting Government, and this portion of the people is probably the most numerous; but it consists, unfortunately,'of those who are the least likely to act with energy and decision. In all coun;- tries, and more especially in France, we usually find the well dispoSed shrink from a - contest with the daring and the turbulent, and thus se cure the success of these enemies of order, and often prove the instruments, or at least, the in direct 'causes, of their own destruction. The events of the early part of the French Revolu tion, while. they prove the truth of this fact, should also serve as a beacon to Warn' the loyal of the shocks they ought to avoid ; but, unfortu nately, we seldom find the existing generatichi profit by the errors' of its predecessors. The political storms that . 'have agitated this country, during a long'series of years ; cannot immediately subside ; nor can the ideas of berty, or of military pre-eminence, be easily eradicated from the minds of an unreflecting multitude, or of a nation naturally- warlike. If . the Chief who once led the French soldiers to' rapid conquest be now at rest in the tomb, the military mania , he introduced and encouraged still exists, smothered, but not extinguished. So much, indeed, has the. present generation of Frenchmen been accustomed to war, that a life spent out of a camp is considered as an unna tural state of existence. It is not, however,_ these-feelings, nor yet the desire, of • - once more filling Europe with the terror of the. French arms, that operates upon the public mind at pre sent, but rather the anxious desire of effacing the foul stain' which the capture of - Paris by the Allied Powers has imprinted upon thacha racter of the French armies, and of the w.bole nation ; galling indeed to a high-minded- nation, must be the reflection, that a host.of •foreigners :invaded its-territory, took : possessiOn of its capi tal, and stripped it of, those. spoils which bore witness of the success that had 'hitherto attended the arms of the great nation. ' That such feellUgs must, and do, exist; is.no less Certain than it is evident that they must tend, more or less, to .en danger the internal tranquillity of France ;• to these causes must_ be added the peculiar circum stances' under which the present Government has been established. - •;Though restored to the Throne. w,hich his fore fathers had occupied during a long series of ages, Louis XVIII., owes his. Crown. to. the .successes of the enemies of. France, and.not_to - the Tefiitn ing affections of his.people.' Like Henry IV. he has indeed conquered.. his Crown but it is with the assistance of foreigners, and not through the loyal and . de.voted exertions of any portion of his subjecti: liis, family, as well as himself, are nearly =- strangers to .the present generation of FrenChmen. .:-As a . nation, they must remember, with sentiments of affection and of pride, the names of Louis IX., Henry IV., and LouiS XIV. ; hut the-connection- .between these good and great Sovereigns with the Bourbons of the present day has been so much - brokon by-The . revolution, and the events • which .accom*ied it, that the Alembers . of , the - reigning family 'are considered more under.the light of intruders than as the legitimate possessors of the Throne , ortheir ancestors. • Hence the situation in which they stand in respect to the nation is . particularly awk ward, and lays them more open to the attacki of the men who would seek to better their fortunes by a re - volution of any sort, and of those whose attachment to their former leader', renders them anxious for a change.of dynasty. ,In this respect the death of Buonaparte is-perhapl'an event truly unfortunate for the Bourbons, and the sOn - may prove a more formidable rival to them than the father. The latter was indeed outlawed by all nations, but, unfortunately for the 80 - urboUs, the former is connected with one of the most power ful of the reigning families in Europe, the ancient rival of the Bourbons. If the events which have taken place both in Spain and in Portugal will have no great in fluence upon the. affairs of Europe, a storm is brooding in the East,.which threatens effectually to disturb its tranquillity. The Ottoman Power, once so formidable to Christendom, bas.been for some years on the decline, and seems now on the verge of total destruction. It is much to he feared, however, that the changes which such au event must produce will prove an apple of dis cord among the Sovereigns of Europe ; awl it is difficult to discover what plan will be.adopted to preserve that balance of power, with Ont which no permanent peace can be secured. Ere long the question of peace and of war must be decided. The immense forces assembled by Russia cannot be kept inactive dpring any great length. of time : and.the negociations that have been carried on with singular activity must now be just draw ing to a close. A. few weeks, or days,will spew, therefore, whether the Turkish Empire has been► doomed to inevitable destruction ; and probably give us an insight into the arrangements which such an event renders absolutely necessary.

RIOT IN THE FLEET PRISON.-Friday after noon BARBER, the Sheriff's officer, and his as sistants, proceeded to the Fleet Prison to levy an execution on the goods of a man of the name of EDGAR, confined there for debt. The nature of their errand beingmade known to the prisoners, they commenced an attack, and in the affray Bavber lost his hat, and was relieved of the sk:r's of his coat, and his attendants were not treated with less ceremony and had it not been for the timely interference of the Warden they would have been dragged to the pump.
