Mr. DANIEL MATHER said it bore on its face that it

an evident partiality to the direetom.

' land at this moment to regard to edooatioa, there is. be no

lasd, where the pevie us sot likely spontaaeously to pro-
vide isstreedas for themeless ; that the qaidity of oda=
tion, eves where it does exist, is item as defective as its
quantity ; sad that this is a mats of things reirsizing an im-
mediate remedy.
2. That the subscribers hold it to he of vital and primary
importanes that =and religious instruction be somaiseiciated
to all the youth of the lead by traction duly qualified ; and
they express this =eviction in the fall belief tail that will
never be any Marva= of educating in Scotland oa a
popular and national basis, which will not carry with it an
extended distribution of religions instruction ; while, from
the smog religious views mania= by the great mess of
the people of this country. and the interest which they take
in the matter of education, the subscribers cm athe in-
crease of knowledge only aa enlargement of the desire and
of the capacity to communicate a full religious =awns
to the paeratios whom paresis have participated in this
advantage.
3. That the parish ..keels of Seeitiand are quite inadequate
to the edusatiimal wants of the eoustry, , and are defective
and objectionable in atiosepiesie of the smallness of the
class bunted with the patrosage, the Mated portion of
the sosanunity tam which the teachers are minted, the
general mat of their remuneration, and the system of
mammas= -iuble to the schools, ialerriag, ma it does,

quired by the neessities of this popaisMs, whose supporters

4. That the =Mere appointed nadir the system contem-
plated by the saboaibers should not be required by law
to submit= any religious t• st ; that mem= Moe= for the
training of teachers shoeLl be oolobliolied; that, under a
general arrangement fee the maimed= of the =diem

come a candidate he_ mg maid under th• notional system ;
and that parities timid Is mode he the adequate remune-
ration of all tesehenvolmo may be so appointed.
5. That the duty sad tearsamildlity of esuustaicstiug reli-
eou instruction to children have, is the opinion of the eub
scribers, been committed by God to their punts, and
thump them to each teaehees es they may choose to intrust
ith that duty; that in the numerous schools throughout Se=
laud which have been rounded and supported by private cos-
tribstios, the idling' *lesion has always held a prominent
place; and that, wen the power of selecting the mason
tieing the branches to be taught, and managing the schools,
et
present vested by law in the heriton of Scotland and the
Preslateriss of the established church, to be transferred to
the bias of families under a Mimi system of education,
the subscribers would regard such an arraagemest as afford-
mg not only a basis of union for the great mass of tn. people
of this country, but a far better security than say that at
present exists both for a good leader and a pod Christian
oduatios. _ . _

6. That in regard to a legislative sewn, the subeeribers
are of opinion with the late lamented Dr. Chalmers that
"then is no other method of extrication" from the
diflienities with which the question of education in
connexion with religion is encompassed to this
country, than the plan suggested by hint as the only
practicable one—namely, "Teat ia any publ'a measure for
nelping on the education of the people, government [should]
abet.in from introducing the element of religion at all into
their put of the scheme, sad this not because they held the
setter to be hisignificant—the contrary might be strongly
expressed in the preamble of their act—but on the ground
that, in the present divided state of the Christian world,
they would take no togaisancas of, just bemuse they would
attempt no control over, the religion of applioants for aid—
leaving ibis matter entirely to the parties who had to do with
the erection and management of the schools which they had
beta called upon to waist. A gnat by the state upon this
rooting might be regarded as being appropriately and ex-
clusivity the expression of their value for a good secular
education."

7. That in order to secure Me ocelldenee of the people of
Scotland generally is a national system of ideation, as well
as to *mum its esMency, the following should be its main
features :—ht. That local bleeds should be established, the
members to be appointed by popular Andes, on the prin.
ciple of giving the franchise to all male heads of fa-
milies being householden ; sad with them bards should
lifs the selection of masters, the risenl management
of the schoob, and the right, without undue
.atorfeeence with the muter, to direct the branches
of education to be taught. 2d. That then should
be a rasing superintending authority, so constituted as to
s -cure the public confidence, and to be responsible to the
country through parliament, which, without superseding the
locA boar Is, should see that their duties are not neglected
—prevent abuses from being perpetrated through carelessness
or design—check extravagant expenditure—protect the in-
terests of all partim—colfect and preserve the general sta-
tistics of education—and diffuse throughout the country, by
communication with the local boards, such knowledge on the
subject of education, end such enlightened views SI that
authoritative position, and their command of ahem the
highest Intellects in the eciuntry, may enable them to :mom
sannicate. _ _ _

Were each a eyehole adopted, the subscribers wof ail.
ohm that it would be quite unnecessary, either for the
'egislatus or any esonhol authority, to dictate or control the
e."Ateation to be 'sported in the national schools, or to
prterrilos any subject to be taught or book to be used; end
should • measure founded on these suggestions boons law,
not only would the subscribers feel it to be their duty, but
they ooditleu.ly believe the ministers sad relloiss sononst-
nines in the venous localities would use it to be theirs, to
as all their inlittenoe in promoting seek arrangements as,
in the working of the plan, would effectually secure •
suund religiose alumni= to the children attending the
schools.

The above resolations were prepared by a committee ap-
pointed at a recent eonferenes in Kiintuargh of friends of
national education. The reselatioss are at present in eosins
of eirnatare, and any (Misdeed the moss desirous of expres-
sing Weir approval of thus, will have an opportsaity of
doing so, by oossounicating with any of the members of the
winatires before Thursday the 81.1 Instant. The list of
euhsrribers will be published Immediately thereafter.

arrival of the Raleigh, 60, Captain the Hon. Geo. Hope,
bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Sir T. Herbert,
K C.B , which ship sane into harbour this day at noon.
Her dated sailing are, Monte Video, 27th Oct. ; Rio Ja-
neiro, 14th Nov. ; aad Bahia, 2od December. She had a
long psmageowiag to calms and contrary winds. The Ra-
leigh hasbrought home the Harpy'e officers sad men, with
the exception of Dr. Gimlet, who volunteered to remit
out, the Harpy in future being manned from the flag-ship.
Several invalids from the squadron also came home la this
ship. Among them are two men belonging to the Helaine,
who had their arms blown off whilst exercialauat the great
gnus at eight-quarters on her parsegs out. This dreadful
aceidentooeurred whilst the men were reaming home the
cartridge, the man whose duty it was to have stopped the
vent-hole having for a moment removed his thumb, when
the gun suddenly exploded. On 16te nit fell in with the
Statesman, from Plymouth for Port Phillip with emig, rants ;
and on 9th iast.the Boadicea from Liverpool for New Orleans
also with emigrants. The commodore ordered the cola-
maader and surgeon of the Raleigh to board them, sad
inquire into the state of health and comforts of the emigrants;
end it is satisfactory to know they were all found to be very
healthy and comfortable. Fever was very prevalent at
Bahia, and had carried off several of the inhatutants. The

CAPTURE OF A DARING GANG OP HIGHWAYMEN.
—By the activity and skill of oce of its OMAN, Sergeant
mull, No. 70, the county of Gloucester constabulary
have been enabled to capture a daring gang of highway-
men, whose exploits have for a long time created so mach
ounternation and alarm, that many busmen have deemed
it unsafe to go to market unless armed for defence. Several
robberies of the most daring kind were committed (princi-
pally in the Sonsersetthire ne ighbourktod of Bristol) re-
cently and a Shin a few days of each other. Mr. Thomas
White, a farmer at Batcombe. while within a few hundred
yards of a farmhouse on the From* road, was attacked by
two armed men who demanded his money or his lite, dragged
him from his bone and comminuted riding his pockets. He
called for assistance upon which they throttled him and
stuffed his mouth with dirt, and having robbed him dooms
loose cash (hie notes being fortunately in a private pocket)
mule off across the fields. Mr. Joseph Writ, termer of Wick,
was similarly attacked on Lanadowe. The robbers eragged
him from his hone, robbed him of his watch, pocket book, a
handkerchief, &a and having cut his rein and stirrup to pre-
vent Ms punning them decamped. Mr. =kiwi of the Bullion,
Chelwood, Somerset, was waylaid at the bottom of Kaowls
Hill by five wen men, who secs -d his horses bead, pulled
him from his gig and plundered him of the property he
had about him, after welch they aside Mr acme the fields
in the direction of Keyntham. At about an hour later on
the ume evening, Mr. B trrow, a brighten ith and farrier,
carrying on business at H. pukes, was stopped when at
about a mile frost has home by the same gong, and robbed
of • 61. note end emu other alnico. The villain. nearly
strangled the unfortunate man, who, opus bang dragged
from by hone, resisted until throttled so tightly that the
blood gushed 'tom hie nose and can. Up in receiving in-
, formation of the robberies, Sergt Ha:OFG suspicious at ones
fell on a moserious head of men known as the t' Bonham
and Dm:km(l gang," and with some other cionstahles be
captured fin men, named Samuel Bryant. Wm. Powell,
W. Gunning, Samuel Rogers, and John Rogers, and sub-
selicendy a beer. house kim pee named Bit Tremlett, and a
as named Joseph Britten. The prisoners having under-
gone an examination or Saturday afternoon, before the ,
count' justices, Samuel Rogers, John Rogers, Britton,
°mantas, and Bryant, were all eenunitted for trial.
