NATIONAL &INLAY MAGUS.

On Tuesday a deputation from this body waited
upon the Menials of Salisbury, the Lord-President of the
Conseil, at the Privy Council-close, Downing-street, to
request his lordship to exercise his influence toward& the
opening of the South Kensington Museum on Sunday after-
noon. The deputation included • large number of gentia-
..,vars:tyamiz.:

flue his lordship es the representatives of the working dams

that time, as now, the object was to Impress upon thegovera-
meet the fact that the opening of museums and picture gal-
leries on Sunday afternoon would not only benefit the work.
In; men themselves, but would greatly tend to the moral and
social advantage of their families. Since that period they
had heard no objection raised to the principle, except ow,
which appeared to him of a most frivolous nature, se it was
board upon the argument that the result would lead to Me
employment of • larger number of platoons on Sunday Men
at present. Hs (Sir J. Maintain) was quite parmadel Mat,
If his lordship had an opportunity of testing the fact, he
would soon discover that those gentlemen who now appeared
before him would in such ease be the last to advocate the
principle they were now contending for. They were too
deeply impressed with the conviction of the tolveintaae that
would scene to the working classes from a day of rest, to
join to any movement which might lead to any employment
befog imposed upon them on the Sabbath. Although the
deputation which hia lordship resolved sans twelve =ear

emplary demeanour on Sunday', end he noticed that in the
morning their practice wee to go to church, and in the after-
noon to the gdlerise of art, whilst in the evening they would
enjoy their peaceful walks. The result was that be cams to
the cmclusion that Dresden was in • much higher state of
order and cultivation then say city be could mention in this
country. Sometimes objections were raised by those who
were opposed to the priecdple they were contending for, os
the ground that in Roman catholic countries the same

day ss were observable in this country; but thin,
be urged, was not a fair argument. If any comparison wars
to be raised at all it 'humid be made with protestant countries;

W malted from allowing the working damns the privilege
of wishing public institutions on the Sabbath.

Dr. BARLOW spoke of the state of things which existed
at Copenhagen, in regard to this subject. The churches
were opened lunch earlier than In this country, and the
morning service was concluded at 11 o'clock, when the
people were admitted to the various galleries and art iestitn-
thins ; and in the afternoon, at 2 o'clock, it was their practice
to attend divine service again. The result was that the
churches were frond to be lunch better tilled than when the
working classes were excluded from the benefits they now
Yr. KENNY spoke of the debasing amusements to which
the working men were now invited on Sunday., because ft
was known that there was no opportuniiy for them to find
relaxation of a more elevating sad instructive character.
Dr. CARPENTER, on behalf of the acientitic grad, urged
upon his lordithip the fact that the conduct of the working
people in the gardens at Kew on Sundry afternoon was mart
exemlary.
Thpe Marquis of SALISBURY, in roily, sale the subject
was one of gnat importance; bat at themes time many con-
flicting opinions were entertained concerning it. For him-
self, be should direr no opinion ; but would take the
addresses ha had received into his serious cataideratios.
(laterally speakieg, he could mate that his earnest wish was
to afford every posable facility to the public, more especially
to the working elan's, for diverting them from public-houses
and leading this to more healthful and Instructive places.
He could say no more. There had been deputations to the
government, with very strong convictions, on the other side
of the queerket ; and he wad hardly say that the pnijadices
on all aides ought to be respected Wore the government could
arrive at any conclusion on the subject.
Mr. LOA DEN sold, in the meantime, he presumed, the pre-
sent deputation might infer that his lordship held out some
hope to theme
The Marquis of SALISBURY replioi that he neither hold
out hope nor the raves.., all he could say was, that he would
give the subject his beat earliest consideration.

As we stated yesterday the triennial conference of
this society commenced its sittings on Tuesday morning, at
eleven o'clock, at Freemasons'-hall. There was a large
attendance of member*. Among the gentlemen present
were Mr. Adam Black, M.P., Mr. Titus Bait, M.P., Mr.
Frank Crossley, M.P., and Mr. J. likaeseeld, M.P.
Mr. B. BAINES, M.P., was the chairman at the But Mt-
ting. In opening the proceedings he expressed his convic-
tion of the truth of the fundamental principle on which title
society is based, namely, that the Divine Founder of our
religion ordained his church to be aelf-governed and self-
sustained, and did not intend that it should ever be made
subject to the support of compulsory taxation or to the con-
trol of the civil authorides. What they claimed for them-
selves and for all churches fa perfect liberty; end they
claimed that liberty for liberty's own asks end because
they believed it to be a Christian duty to maintain
liberty as the noblest and beat of ell things. civil and
spiritual. Bet they claimed it not only for liberty's
sake but for the sake of truth, and for the sake of
purity, because they did not believe that where liberty
does not exist there is fair play for truth. If,
said the bon. gentleman, the attitude which we are emu.
gelled to mamma in this country, u nonconformist', is some-
times of an aggressive nature, yet in reality, and in
spirit, and in truth, it loot a defensive nature; it is because
we have to defend ourselves against laws and usages which
have been pared and established in centuries gone by, and
which invade the rights of free churches in this country; It
is, therefore, not in the spirit of aggression, not for the sake
aggrersion, that we ever call in question the laws of the
country in which we ere placed, bat in the absolute spirit of
defame, standing up for thou rights and those liberties
which belong to ell countries end to all men;_ and I trot we
' shall never be deterred by any measure of odium or obloquy
we may bring upon ourselves from assailing ell the sells
which are inconeiatent with our principles, until we have
chased *very vestige of them, evils from the statute book.
After referring to church rates as fast vanishing, he concluded
by declaring his unalterable attachment to the principle, of
the amity and their ultimate moms.
. .

The Wendel smut of the executive committee was then
read by Mr. CARVELL WILLI/on, the secretary. It set
out with stating that, notwithstanding the occurrence of
many stirring public events which might have diverted pub-
lic attention from the society's objects, It was the happmeas
of the executive rommittes to spade only of unabated exer-
tion, and of almost continuous success ; and, es regards the
public) at large, to exprim a belief that, during the last three
years, the progress of sound ecclesiastical opinions has been
Mitrthan at any previous period. The genital election of
ed resulted in an increase of the political strength se-
gulled in 1862, but that which had just taken plea had not
proved equally satisfactory. Still, they had no resent to
emptiest that they had suffered any sntetanUal loss; for in
several cases the defeats bad beset In the persons of those
whose votes could not coeldently be relied upon while most
of the victories had been at the expense of members who had
beta steady voters in the hostile retake. In regard to church
rates, there had been week a demenstrstion as would probably
may the bill of Sir John Trelawny through the Commons
as triumphantly as teat year. The upholder. of the union
between church and Mate had put forth but feeble efforts, and
the Neat Riding bad elected Mr. Crossley, notwithatindtng
that he was opposed expressly on the ground of his being
friendly to the society. Three additional years of opposition
to church-rates had done much to Mates their extinction.
The last conference wee congratulated on the conversion of
a parliamentary minority of 48 into a majority of 43 ; and
now that majority had been nearly doubled. They had de-
feated an attempted government compromies by the largest
majority they had ever obtained ; and their own bill bad
been, for the first time, placed on the table of the House of
Lords. Tedious as this wartwe might appear, the well-
wishers of this moiety had no reason to be dieentiefiod with
its continuance. Every 'yeer the amount wrung from the
community in the form of ohurch-ratee is diminishing. They
wore training increasing numbers to assert the rights of con-
science by an exercise of their parochial power and they had to
meet a growing demand for tteir pu and con-
tinually to afford to fresh applicants legal dyke, the value
of which was gratefully acknowledged. The iefiessce of the
society was thus reeking itself felt in a oosstsaly extending
circle. While, therefore, parliament was urged to plunk up
this root of bitterness, there would be completion for delay
in the feet, that while church-rates were tenaciously de-
fended to rave the est.*" ment, they were vaniebing and
undermined. reference

the establiahment was being After a retera—_
to the partial success of the movement tor abolition of
eccleeletical teats at the univereitise, the levet mated that
the position of nonconformists in relation to the ancient
gramme scho is had been changed for the worse by the
dicta= of the Lords :matinee in the Itmliseter School case.
The dissolution of pa/limiest had prevented the bill for
r, undying this being read a second time, and it would now call
for energetic action; though, to meet reasonable objcetions,
it would be prudent to modify it. The conference was
congretalated on the hots that the Jews bad been
admitted to Parliament, and that Ministers' Money
had been abolished in Ireland. It was reasonable
to expect that parliament would shortly extinguish an
anal-goos exaction—the annuity to—a for the abolition
of which had been reed a second time by a majority of forty.
The establishment of the new testamentary and matri-
monial courts bad weakened the ecclesiastical marts, and
the committee had been auceessful in obtaining Important
modifications of the banal laws, which, however, most he
still further improved. The occurreoas of the Indian mutiny
had elicited, to a remarkable degree, the leniency of modern
opinion In favour of the principles of the society; but the
Indian government would require to be closely watched.
The colonies wore referred to as showing that God has not
given to man a religious system dependent fur its &Maslen
on the patronage of governments. The committee, thus.
fore, had been making fresh efforts to interest an inctrused
number of individuals in the society's operation', and with
such sweeps that the tremors'', account showed the Income
to be larger by m re then 6001. that at any former period.
The report concluded wi.h the expression of • conviction
that fifteen yeses of patient toil had received an ample
reward, and the meanie could accept with fresh srdour
the onerous responsibilities which would yet red upon them.
The financial statements showed the receipts to be

3,2211. 16e. 3d.
Dr. PEARCE, of Northampton, moved :--" net the con-
ference, in receiving and adopting the report of the executive
committee, views with unqualified satisfaction the continuous
growth of the society's influence during the fifteen years
which have elapsed lance ite formation. That it entertains
the confident expectation that the steady advance of public
opinion in favour of the society's objects, and the facility and
RONEY with which its operations have been conducted, will
not only cell forth the continued exertion of those who have
hitherto been its esrsest supporters, but will secure the co-
operation of an Increasing number of the friends of
voluntaryism." He believed the prospect. of the Liberation
Society were brighter than they had ever been before. For

Chairmen and the other members of parliament pre-
sent having bee obliged to leave at this stage of the pro-
cestiege, Mr. E. °Mowed., of Ipswich, took the chair.
The Rev. A. ReeD, in secondiog the resolution, said be
certainly looked forward with hose and encouragement upon
the primer they had made. (Rear.)
The Rev. Mr. Rostrum?' of Cambridge, proposed as an
addendum to the readatioa iha following porde :—.• At the
mime time this conference would entrees en worst hope
that the executive committee will find it praetioable to bring
the great question of church and state Wore the Ise/Is-
tan at en early day." He th-ught the attention of the com-
mittee bad of lets hem directed too much to queetloua of de-
tail. and had not sufficieetly asserted its fundamental prin-
ciple.
The Rev. JAMIE Iteasrxt, of Kettering, seconded the
adeendani.
Kr. Hiatt opposed the *Meg the words suggested to
the resolution. The qsestion had been brought before the
legislature in a concrete shape every time a bill had been
brought forward for the abolition of church rates, and every
time the question of state and church in the various relations
they sustain to each other had been diecuceed. Under them
circometances it did seem to him very important that we
should continue in that course which had Where, proved a
successful one.
Dr. Ronson, of Glasgow, spoke egainet the addendum.
Dr. PORTER believed that the adoption of this addition to
the resolution would have the practical effect of throwing
the whole question, considered irs relation to parliamentary
hectic., three or four year. back.
The Rev. T. H. MORGAN, of Birmingham, directed the
attention of the coofereore to the difference between the
Oxford and Cambridge middle-class examinations, the latter
of which he considered by no means so liberal as the former.
The resolution was then pat and carried unanimously.
Mr. APSLIT Pattin moved the following resolution:—
"That the carrying of the Church-rule Abolition Bill
through the Hoses of Commons, with the decisive defeat of
an objection .b'. compromise, end the sub...quest emend

written in the coarse of some correspondence on the subject
with members of the legislature, and which gave a very lucid
exposition of the principles held by the moiety on this im-
portant point. (Cheers.)
The resolution wu then passed.
Aldermen HARRISON, of Wakefield, moved That the
cooferenoe highly approves of the steps taken by the com-
mittee at the two general elections which have occurred since
the last conference. That It urges the importance of con-
tinued effort to ONSeis• the number of representatives
pledged to en the society's parliamentary policy ; and
more es y it anticipates the increased responsibility
which well devolve on the friends of religions equality, when,
by en extension of the franchise, political power will be given
to large numbers, who, it is believed, will be prepared to
employ it in furtherance of the society's objects.,
The motion was seconded by Mr. JII.IIIIAK COLNAN, of
Norwich,

A &emission ensued as to the wording of this resolution,
which was carried in en amended form.
The Rev. HENRY RICHARD moved:" That this con-
ference records its concurrence in the views of the executive
committee expressed in their minute of the 18th November,
1857. in respect to the future relation of the government of
India to the religions of the people of that country. That,
while impeding with great gratification the general preva-
lence of similar sentiments, the conference feels it to be need-
fill to watch with vigilance the course of the Indian adminis-
tration, that there may be no adherents to a policy which has
worked injurioualy in India, and been decisively condemned
by the people of this country." He felt there were two
errors which the government of this country had committed
in connexion with India. The first was the fact of its
taking under its patronage and pay the impure religion
of India, placing its own officent, professedly Christian
men in positions which obliged them to administer
the ;Airs oft he Hinton and blattommedan temples ; and
the second error mom from the government having acquired
(be would not stay to inquire In what way) possessions in
India, seized upon the ecclesiastical endowments of the
Hindoo and bishommedan temples, and appropriated them
to its own purposes, awarding a certain sum annually to
the swam of the native worship, by way of compensation.
He maintained we had no right, having mud that property,
to withdraw the compensaUon, unties we restored the ori-
ginal endowments.
The Rev. H. Emote seconded the resolution, which
was carried, and the Conference adjourned for dinner.
The evening sitting commenced at six o'clock, Mr. Dun-
can bliLaren, the Lord Fromm of Edinburgh, in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in referring to the two prominent Scot-
fish queetions in connexion with this movement—the annuity
tax, and the parochial schools—expressed him conviction that
both of them were deserving of she highest attention from
the friends of religious freedom. He concluded by adverting
to the hold which the people of Scotland preserved upon the
sympithies of the liberal party, inasmuch as nearly two-
Mir& of the members returned to Parliament by that part
of Great Britain were avowedly liberal in politics.
Dr. FOSTER, of Lambe, then read a paper upon the Dis-
senters and the Endowed Grammar Schools, in which he set
forth the several disabilities under which dissenters laboured
in connexion with these Institutions.

—ir774l;a;;;;;J7•;iii;iii7lerislature having opened
the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge to all classes of
her Majesty's subjects, without distinction on the point of
their religious belief, it is now time, in the judgment of this
oteterence, to carry further the principle thug recognised by

E'
That
tiv":7indlosi for by the recent decision of the Court of Chan-
cery is the ore of the Ilminater Grammar-school; in which
it hr been laid down in conformity, as it is believed, with
existing law, that the requirement in the foundation deed of
any school that the mestere shall be • honest and discreet'
men, sad shall teach 'godly learning,' necesearily excludes
dissenters from all share In the government or teaching
thereof. That the conference is gratified that the executive
committee has already prepared and introduced bills into the
House of Commons for altering this state of the law ; and
while prepared to recommend any concession required by a
liberal construction of the justice of the case, it is not dis-
posed to deprecate the threatened opposition of the esta-
blshed clergy by abandoning in any degree the claim of all
her Majesty's subjects to share equally in the government
and teaching of schools, now confined to the church of Rag-
land only, by the present doctrines of law." He believed
that the judges of the law rude had interpreted the law of
England according to the principles upon which they could
alone 'atomiser it whilst there remained anestablished church.
(Hear, her.) Even toleration was inconsistent with the
principles of an established church ; it was only unsaying
by one law what wee established by another. Under the
ohmmeters, they were making a most deadly thrust upon
the principle of as establishment by standing forth and so-
Ins that in regard to school,, the endowments of which
might be said to have pared into a ettie wherein they be-
came national property, they were as much the properly
of dissenters r of churchmen. They desired to get the
principle thoroughly recognised by law, so as ti command
the rent of all reasonable user, that it woe not necessary
even in the eye of the law that an honest man should be a
member of the establishment.

The Rev. 8. MANNINO, in seconding the motion, gave ea
secount of the proceedings of the commissioners in regard to
the Promo chartists, and wee followed by the Rev. E. Dell,
et Coventry, who entered into similar pa:Wakes with re-
gard to the dieroaling charities in that city. The purport of
both thane amounts was to show the prejudice existing
against diesentieg endowment., and the admission of die-
eenthw trustees to endowments of a general character, and
the positive *natioe under which dissenters laboured in

slr. COLMAN of Norwich, said he and other dissenters
had been placed on the trust of one of Edward Vl.'s
grammar taboo* but that this was owing to the influence of
popular feeling, and was in defiance of the law of the came.
The Rev. S. ROBINSON of Cambridge, stated the injus-
tice of excluding diameter; from the enjoyment of fellowships
In that university, and suggested that • clause should be bl-
eated in the resolution setting forth the propriety of extend-
ing the principle to three fellowships. As a followahip in •
university was not an office, dissenters were not excluded
firo;tila law ; whether they obtained their right or not
di
in the present cane upon the university commis-
stoners, on the one head, and the authorities of the univer-
sity an the other, end it wee very doubtful whether, between
the two, the right would be withheld.
The ROT. Mr. MATHESON, of Nottingham, having spoken
to tb• resolution, it was put from the chair and cereied una-

nlinonaly.
Dr. ROBSON, of Glsegow, moved the next resolution:—
" That the existing teats—by which the masters of the paro-
chial schools in Scotland are bound to subscribe s declaration
of their adherence to the established chnra of that country,
and of their willingness to Le subject to the decisions of its
clergy and church courte—are • violation of the principles of
religious liberty, and ought to be abolished."
Mr. DiLLwva, M.P., said he had that evening moved the
Srst reading of the Bill for the Abolition of Roclesiastical
Tests in the Ancient Grammar Schools, in his place in the
Rouse of Commune, which would be brought in on the fol-
lowing day, and would be unopposed on the first rending.
The resolution having been seconded, was then nasal- '
measly passed.
The Rev. EDWARD PRICE moved "that the conference
congratulates the friends of voluntaryism in Scotland on the
' second reading, by a decdaire majority, of a bill for the aboli-
tion of the annuity tsz. in Edinburgh and Montrose and
smicipates that persistent action in tie suiport will slimily
lead to the extinction of the impost."
Dr. Roesote said that Unanimity tax was a most obnoxious
one, end was met offensive in its operation.
The resolution having been eeonnded, was carried nem. die.
The Rev. ALEXANDER. Elsa moved "that the confe-
rence, believing that the Begium &num is a grant bad in
principle and operates most mischievously, is glad that it is
determined to offer to It such opposition as will be likely to
hasten its abolition."
GEORGE CAVENDISH, Rel., Mayor of Sunderland,
seconded the resolution.
The Rev. Mr. BARRETT, of Croydon. drew attention to
the state of religious liberty in the West Indian colonies.
The resolution wee then passed, and the meeting adjourned
