present building was not called a ragged echoed) that the
shoe* system was a parental one, and should be supported by
the efforts of the benevolent. It had been urged that ragged

Now, tie assurer to this was, that such a state M things was

wield protest against it. He would, therefore, lapses upon

bours from spritsai destitution sod ignorance, but they
would be iiipartiag to these an educaties which must be

es it my seem) if they devoted their energies to the aness-
plisheithe of this task they would ultimately reap as ahem
dent harvest from their labours ; for he had often obeened

all °barite* disposed persons to lend their mama
sure towards reclaiming the vast amount of temporal end
spiritual missy which unfortunately existed in this maw
polls. (Hear, bear.)
The Rev. Mr. HERSCHELL proposed the first resole-
ties, to the Mies that the great spiritual destitution in this
locality, arising from a want of scriptural education, re-
quired strenuous efforts for its removal, and that this met-
es' rejoiced in the establishment of a new and caniesodiess
school. la proposing this resolution, the rev. gentleman
took Gomm to covert to the origin of the schools. They
were fist established, he said, open a comparatively mill
sale, by a benevolent armies, who was anxiousto safer
the Leman of education upon the poor sou neglected Is
habitues of the district, and so rapidly had the amber at
pupils therms& that the premises were kneed to be Se
small. At length Sr H. Baker, having a spot of greuell
is the immediate neighbourhood, undertook to build this
eosessodious school, the annual rental of which, together
with the buildings already occupied, would be about 1101.
From prime appanass there could be ao doubt that
they should soon have at least 1,000 children to educate is
this school, and ha was happy to be able to state that great
program had been made by them who were receiving their
education is the school already established. The great
Sewn of their system of odeeatiom was to make the Bible
Se bask of all linowledge, and thus to impart secular
Ellia6ooo sanctified by the Holy Scriptures.
The Rev. Dr. WALPOLE, the rector, @sanded the rip
solution, and spressiid his high approval of the efforts
which were now beteg made to reame from ignorance and
destitution the largo sass of poor people who inhabited his
district.
The moleskin was passed unanimously.
Mr. H. DUNNE, of the Boroogh-road Schools, proposed
the sopped resolution, which expressed a hop that the
mote wealthy inhabitants of the parishes of Maryleboue
and Paddington would deem it their duty to support schools
which had been projected to alleviate the condition of this
snot wretched neighbourhood.
The Rev. Dr. BEAUMONT, a Wesleyan minister,
seconded the rosolutioe, deacanting, in the 0011TDO cd his
speech, epos the miserable condition of the poor peoples
dwellings, and urging upon the company present the necei
Mil there was for their interposition, to alleviate such a state
of thiop. This object they meat accomplish by supportiog
institutions like the present, which were &Wined to bri.ig
their poorer fallow asters from darkams to the light of day.
The resolation 'melee been tarried,
The Rev. JAMES BTRATTEN prepteed that at the
present juncture in our national MAW, whew popery and
infidelity ware vigorously striving to uproot evangelical re-
ligion, it was the especial duty at Christians of all &nasal-
settees to soils together for the promotion of scriptural
education.
Mr. BROUGHTON, the magistrate, seconded the resolur
Soo, and alluded to the prejudice which *listed in former
times against the *donation of the poorer theses.
The motion having been carried, the Rev. Mr. Itasca=
read a short list of subscriptions, and urged epee the meet-
ing the necessity of contributing towards the object in view.
A vote of thanks was then fused to the cheinse and
