imputative neceeaiky that exists for providing increased
accommodation in England sod Wales.

tag; laid hokum ot uo sticiety that tio intimately affected
Moisten* of the national church 'or the great object of
}he berets. of religion as the Incorporated Clam! Dd-
ing Society The object of the society was to provide the
accommodation that wee needed for our vest and daily
increasing population. Since the begianing of the century
the population had doubled, but no corresponding in-
crease to the number of churches had taken place.
Elam we must suppose that fifty yeahago the coun-
try was provided with churches far beyond the number
required, or that a very great increase indeed most take
place in the existing number in order to provide for the
wants of the increased population. It was (so to say) au
mil that the increase of the population was Oct equal
throughout the country, but was chiefly entitled to the la
towns, where, in many instances, they, found that whore
there were but a few hundred inhabitants 30 or 40 year.

The Bishop of LONDON moved the first moieties, " That

fathering atheists, rendered increased efforts sosessary es

eommodalthe is our sheathes for the poor people. He re-
pelled tholes el the Queen's Uttar, which, be said, in a
manner united, while it existad, the sovereign with the
people to the importast week of providing increased church
or.T irdiati'roan Hoer spoke to the same resolution,
end advocated espeoially the slums of the large manufac-
turing towns to Merethed church soommuodation, remarking ,
that, however great might be the &atheism of London in
Its sestets parishes, he believed upon the whole Loudon
was, in a religious point of view, a very fsvourable=
nip of • large town as compared with many a
!peeking of the new churches which had bees built by pri-
vate neutilleeoes, and the readiness with which the poor
availed themselves of church accommodition when it was
provided for them, he instsooed the magnificent church re-
cently built by Hr. likroyd at Halifax. which he said was
1.11 s duly crowded on /Sundays by the hard-banded sofas at

Ths resolution was carried.
Sir Tiros. Femurs moved that the meeting recognises
with thankfulness the blaming which has attended the ex-
ertions of the society during the forty-three years of its
existence, and commend it to the support of the members of
the church as an efficient means of increasing the provision
for public worship. He estimated that a penny in the
pound on the property of the country would in ten years
produce • sum of 10.000,0001., which would be sufficient
to provide permanently church accommodation for
the entire population. He also called attention
to the deficiency occasioned in the funds of the society
by the withdrawal of the Queen's letter, which at a trifling
coat had produced 250,000/. between 1826 and 1851, when
the letter was withdrawn. At present the society's
become was by no means equal to its expenditure, and
melees its funds were largely recruited by the contributions
of churchmen, it must largely reduce its grants.
The Bishop of CARLIBLIC seconded the motion, and ad-
verted to the great necessity which existed in the diocese to
which he had teen so recently appointed, both for church
building and church restoration. He mentioned several in-
stances is which the diocese of Carlisle had been assisted to
erect or restore churches by the twisty.
The motion haying been carried,
It woe moved by Bishop SPENCIE that the very insole-
cant provision made for the poor in many of our densely
populated towns and in widely extended parishes of the
agricultural districts, renders the erection of schools,
h i churches, and nusaion owies n such localities most de-
sirable, sod that the society's special fund for promoting
this object is deserving of more liberal support than it hem
hitherto received. _ _

Rowast.t. and the Rev. H. WHztrite
spoke to this resolatioe, after which the Archbishop pro-
pounced the benediction, and dissolved the meeting.

CHURCH OP ENGLAND YOUNG YENS SOCIETY.
The seventeenth annual meeting of this society
was held last evening, at Exeter-hal. • the Bishop of
CARLISLZ In the chair. Prayer having been offered,
The Cssnexiar, in opening the proceedings, said be would
reserve to himself the privilege of a chairman of being far
the most part a listener, and to keep in riSeTTweolearthing be
might hive to say for the conclusion. He first call
on the secretary to reed an abstract of the report, after
which several gentlemen who had kindly undertaken the
task would address them ; and he trusted that Hod would
give eloquence to the speakers and attention to the hearers.
The hEeIIITART then read an abstract of the report,
which stated that the committee had to tell them
that the society bad had disappointments as well as
successes, but the latter far outweighed the former. The
society had been instituted eighteen years. line branch of
the maw had ceased to sent ; another, formed in Wel-
worth, had disappointed them, and was sow in abeyance.
Four new branches had been oiened, at Bow, Berniondeey,
Narylebone, and All Saints', The extension et
the operations of the society ailed for increased exertion as
the pert of its members. The society must be regarded in
two aspects—that of a parent society and is its local form.
The committee should mention. as put of the wczakz
formed, that a large number of sermons lead bees p
at fit. Mary's' Aldermanbury. fleveni leanest es
subjeceehad been delivered at Hadley's Hotel, which
l been very successful. The committee returned thanks
to the Bishop of Lemke, the Dean of Westminster, and
other clergymen, for the assistance they had rendered to
the society. Severel meetings had been held at the central
mane ; a system of periodical conferences had been in-
augurated, which tended to throw the members together ;
Bible and literary chases had been instituted, and lectures
had been periodically delivered ; the library bad received
various additions during the year ; the committee had an
financial difficulties, and at the close of the year had a small
balance in heed. .

The report was adopted.
Several other weaken addressed the meeting, aad the
chairmen baring made a few remarks, the proceedings ter-
minated.

A Uea►nt Ltra.—Mrs. Ann Macrae, to whom a
civil list pension of 501. has just been awarded, was moo-
eiated with the late Joseph Lancaster in his earlist effort.
for the promotion of popular education. Before any insti-
tot ion for the training of teachers for their work existed in
England, Mrs. Macrae was busy under his direction, sod with
the sanction of the late Dukes of Kent sod Sussex, Lord ,
Brougham, and others of Lancaster's friends, in travelling ,
through the country. organising new schools for poor girls,

superintendent of the MOdel School, and subsequently and •
for many yean she had the supervision of the training de.
pertinent for female teachers. During that time she pre-
pared the ant systematic manual of teaching needlework
which had ever bees published for the guidance of female
