RIK CATION.
Mr. .1. IiRoWN then premesled to read his paper on "The

fie ant their first meeting, he could think of nothing
too suitable than • discussion of 'some of the upeete in

thou it the subject he had chosen might be fitly consi-

Ingenious method of satisfying his opponents, s. e., to
direct the Inspectors to fine the schools if they were not
satisfied with the state of their religious teaching. Ile
believed the seeming suddenness of the change now intro-
dueel was almost totally in consequence of the too
radieal alterations hr ,ught about by this revised code.
Before tint time, if the luspectors were satisfied with the
were' efficiency of the school and the competency of its
teachers, three grants were made :-1. A espitation grant
to the aeldsil ; 2. A grunt to the master accenting to the
stanilint id Ids certificate t 3. Grants in payment of pupil
tea.bera. Besides those there existed (1) a primitive of •
pen.ien. That was 01l swept away by the review' code,

called " Payment by mules." mere was much to be

urger classes were often considerably advanced in the
sithiecti .inct) ilullOilliUSlCO.l extra, sp,eisl, or seem/Ole,
while children of inferior ability were said to be neglected.
But the ouppo,sal cause of this defect was not the real
cause, but it was the children's irregular attendance and
remature leaving. The Revised Code, no doubt, secured
the attention of the teachers to the more backward
scholars, but at the same time it did great harm in lower-
ing the general tone of the school, and in the injustice
It did towards teachers, who were compelled to consider,
not whet kind of instruction was absolutely beet, but
what scold pay beet. It tuight be that the work done
WAA more evenly diffused over the whole of the children,
but the work was of • lower character than when the
teacher was more free to control it. The revised code was
in foree, with 'Felted modifications, until the year IW%

were further developed and added to on the Issuing uf the
Education Act of 1870, when the New Code wee iutroduced
by Mr. Forster, who said at that thee that he hoposl before

slight sketch of the history of former codes of education,
end endeavoured to show the necessity that existed for •
change, he would consider, secondly, how the new code
would affect thew objects, and bow it might beet he
workol in this country. The "Standard Work " and
" Evening Schools" were dwelt urea at length, showing
how the 1105" Cole affected them. and with regard to the
latter Mr. Brown remarked that any person over IS years
of age, approved by the Inspector, might act as it. teacher.
That provision was also tussle, for any day school in which
girls were taught; any female teacher over IS, approved
of by On, impector. now counting as • pupil teacher, and
ho should like to gee a similar provision for boys' schools,
for three reasons-first, because of the difficulty of obtain-
ing suitable boys as pupil teachers ; second, because young
well teachers are of very little value for their first year
or two ; sea third, because we are training more pupil
teachers than can possibly find room in the training
colleges, and more than will be required as masters.
Lord Bandon has already warned *clod managers against
overstocking the market with male teachers who cannot
get into the colleges, or finsl deployment should they be
able to get there. iii 1575 there would be 1,900 unable to
find room in the colleges ; in INN, 3,3e0, and so on in pro. •

teachers might be employed advantageously In boys'

then alluded to the removal of the 15e, limit: the
encouragement for scholars who had reused section 6 to
be instructed in higher subjects, a presentation • I

the extra sad/tenni to small schools. There were also one
or two points more agreeably
.dealt with than before, such
as the ells:ration of the term "visits of !mph,* and the I
music "fine." One objection he had rebut to the revised
code was its injustice to teachers-in taking away the
money value of their certificate., and in quietly dropping
the promise of a pension. Since the publication of the
new eel,: a concession had been made on the subject of
pcn.ions; but it was far from satisfactory, both in amount
and manner of distribution. In conclusion, Mr. Brown

POPERY IN THE CHURCH.
To As Editor.
The "Vigilant Committee" which was appointed In 1C74
to watch the inroads of Popery in the Established Church,
and to take action accordingly, though supported by the
body of the English Presbyterians, and by individuals
aruongst the Wesleyan', to whom the Church of England
were greatly indebted, °oilers& We now see the Progress
of the Popish party in our Church gradually to un•Protest-
antis. it.
The worst symptons at this most eventful crisis are,
that people are getting accustomed to the Ritualistic
' practices carried on, and now attend places of worship
where unsound doctrine is set forth, which at first they
did not like to do, and also that the Evangelical body are
not standing their ground. Some are giving way as to
preaching in the surplice, others supporting surpliced
choirs, others suppressing the great doctrines of grace
which are the great safeguard against the reception of
these Papistical doctrines. Surely these who hold the
great vital truth of the Reformation ought to be alive to
what Is going on. It would appear little can be done to
check this fearful attack on our Protestant faith. The
public press inform' us that the "Real Presence " has
been openly preached in the diocese of Loudon, and yet
no notice has been taken of 11. Nothing appears left
to us who by God's grace are kept in the true faith of
our departed forefathers and martyrs, but to "watch"
the course of events and to "stand fast," and to be
determined not to give way one iota in any one *ins
which as the least tendency to Popery in the Eatahilihed
Church.
We believe in erery diocese there aro some Evangelical
men who are ready to adhere firmly to their principles,
and to act as °Million requires, but them appears • fearful
falling off of such men.
In the midst of this sifting time in our Church we have
to thank God for the spiritual revival in our country,
independent of any Church, and that " Christ " is received,
and held as the " Foundation," "hope," and " Refuge."
of the perishing titular.
May God awaken the members of our Church to see our
danger, and rigorously and unitedly to stand by each other,
to moist the determined organised efforts of the enemies

TILE INAUGURATION OF THE SWANAGE LIFE
BOAT.
To LA. lettitor.
At this intimating occasion yesterday • religions service
was conducted by the Rector of the parish, but the Non-
conformist ministers of the town had not been asked by
the committee either to walk in the procession, or to be
associated in any way with the act of worship that was
celebrated.
, As an important principle is involved in the matter,
I think the committee should explain the reason of this
omission.
It was understood that the life-boat was the gift of the
National Life-boat Institution which know.' neither sect
nor party, and whose benevolent work is supported by all
classes ; why then has this exclusiveneasbeen shown. unless
It is intended that it shall be a Church Life-boat, to rescue
only drowning Episcopalians—to be mannedand supported
only by Church men!
But why, Sir, are Dissenters to be excluded from taking
part in such a beneficent enterprise! Is it tit;nittnttaheiLy

I I sincerely trust the Nonconformists of the town will
I not so deeply feel the affront offered to their represents-

On Thursday, at Bristol, there was a liberal supply
of English wheat, mostly new, for which, as well as
foreign, a decline of is to 25 per quarter was accepted,
with only a small business doing, but more inquiry at
the close, Barley was 6d per quarter lower on Black
Sea qualities, and is to 2$ per quarter on new Irish
and other descriptions. Indian corn dull at a rednc•
tion of is to as per quarter. New oats pressed at a
decline of is per quarter, Irish blacks only realising
22s per 3041 b ex-steamers.
On Friday, at Mark-Lane, heaviness characterised
the trade. English wheat was in small supply, but
there were liberal importations from abroad, but as
the condition and quality were not excellent the sales
effected were few. The top figure for fine white
produce was sac Barley was dull and somewhat
lower. Malt was cheaper in some instances. Oats
were very plentiful, and where sales in them were
forced some concession was made. Maize was hardly
inquired after, and no material change occurred in
either beans or peas. Flour was inactive, and prices
favoured buyers in nearly all cases. At Andover
wheat was in fair supply, but of indifferent quality.
Trade was slow at is per quarter decline. Barley
and oats unaltered. Good attendance. At Coventry
dulness pervaded the trade, and prices receded is to
2$ per quarter. Old samples maintained last week's
prices. At Derby old wheat sold at last week's rates,
and new wheat is lower. At Dublin, in foreign
wheat rather more business passing at late rates.
Indian corn held for an advance of 6sl to gd. In
Irish wheat prices rather in favour of buyers. At
Lincoln old white wheat made from Sss to 605 • old
red. Sos to 53s ; new white, Sos to S6s • ' new red, 445
to 45s per quarter. Large show of barley, which
was is per quarter less money. At Liverpool the
demand for wheat was of a retail character, and prices
were occasionally id per cental lower, particularly for
secondary descriptions. Flour nominal. Beans, 6d
over Tuesday. Ptas, Oats, and barley as last. Indian
corn in limited request, at 6d per quarter advance.
Mixed American, 3e's 911 Per 4801bs. At Stamford
slow trade for wheat at is decline. At Wakefield
millers showed no disposition to buy wheat. Holders of
fine wheit do not press sales. No alteration in quota-
tions, except new English, which is again Is, and
common sorts 21, lower. With limited sales barley
now begifis to come forward more freely. Maltsters
are buyers of finest sorts; inferior qualities meet
I little attention. Barley is dearer. Oats steady,
