THENATIONAL SOCIETY.

The following are the resolutions to be moved at
the annual meeting of the National Society, 1842, by Arch-
deacon Denison:

1. Whereas the following sentence—referring to the al-
leged practice of managers of schools in union with the
National Society in abstaining from teaching, and giving
instruction in, the Catechism of the Church of England,
all scholar, admitted into such schools—it found in the re.
port of Joseph Fletcher, Esq., her Majesty's Inspector al
Schools. "Ifl am rightly informed, the practice of et
least half of the National Schools is to respect the &diem
of dissenters in this particular • so strongly does the moral
sense protest against the fundamental rule of their units
which refuses to do so ; and as the real interests of the
church are on the aide of the more liberal course, I would
fain persuade myself that a majority of her clergy will
avow, as well as practise it, and thus enter upon • new
era in our history, that of the established sehooL"
And whereas the Lord Bishop of Manchester, in • weed
delivered at a meeting of the promoters of the Manchester
and Salford education scheme, held at Manchester, Decem-
ber 2nd, 1851, has used the following language ; " My grit
for years has been both openly and privately expressed that
the chartertiLthe National Society has been imposing ea
the great of the clergy, of the community, of the law
dom. condMos the must degrading, and a situation the
most humiliating. It has made its first term of union awl
condition, that the children in the schools shall learn the
Catechism of the Church of England. Now, I believe,
maintain, defend tie Catechism ; but I will sk my re-
verend brethren molted me, and in the diocese not only d
Manchester but in the whole of England, in how many d
these schools has not that article of union been taken out first,
and in how many of these schools is it not, at the present
moment, deliberately and systematically violated.? So far
from contravening the charter of the National Society, I
have ever regretted, and I still regret, that • charter so ill
advised in wording was ever issued by the crown; and I
have sought, and seek to call on you to-night, to aid with
us in carrying the measure from a higher authority, the
' three estates of the legislature of this kingdom, which shall
override and overturn the conditions of that charter, at
release the clergy of England at large from this most im-
proper and unworthy thraldom." And whereas the par-
tite herein publicly imputed to manager, of schools in
union with the National Society is a departure from the pair
ciples of the charter, and • violation of the terms of unmet
This meeting hereby respectfully requests the committee—
in whom the government of the society is vested by charter
—to make public declaration that it is not with the sanction
and approval of the committee that such practice is pur-
sued in any case by managers of • school in union with the
National Society.
2. That this meeting deeply regrets the continued re-
fusal of her Majesty's goverunseet to make • building mast
to founders of a school who require it to be insertedis the
trust deed that the management of the school be solely to
the clergyman of the parish, with appeal to the bishop et

of her Tdqfesty's government to make a beildbig grant to
founders of a school who require it to be ireartad in the
Trust Deed that the master and Milani' Of the school be
