SCHOOLS tOR ALL.

Yesterday the first Anniversary Meeting of the
Southwark Auxiliary School Society was held at
the Royal Free School, Borough-rued.
At an early hour in the day the room, though of
considerable rise, was entirel►• crowded, chiefly by
Ladies 14 the first respectability, whose presence
gave a cordial pledge of their valuable co-operation
in prom an% the interests of this laudable Insti-
tution.

At ten o'clock Lord Viscount A LTDORP (the
President of the Society) entered the room. untended
by a number_ of Gent Milieu who have taken an
active mid successful interest is the diffusion of
general education. The Noble Lord, in biking
the Chair, informed the Meeting that he did so
only in the absence of the Illustrious Duke who
was to houour the Meeting that day with his pre.
some. mot who might be shortly expected. It
would forward the business of the day to have the
Report of the Society read, which lie requested
Mr. Harper would proceed to do.
The Rev. T.. Houma, in compliance with the
Requisition from the Chair, reed the Report, which
detailed Os a clear sad peropicuoss manner the
im-
nseuse advantages derived by tacitly frees the
general educatiou of the lower classes, and pointed
out the superior *demonises for this purpose which
the British cud Foreign School Society possessed,
as it embraced persons of all religions persuasions.
The Report gave • flattering picture of the pro.
great of the Southwark Auxiliary Society, to which
it invited the support of all classes in the Borough.
The Rev. Dr. COLLYER rose, to move the first
Resolution—/jar Resolwilosss see Adeertisereenti—
that the Report just reed be adopted by the Meet-
ing. The Rev. Gentleman enforced •in eloqueut
terms the great value of unit moral and religious
education whit It thieve schools diffuse throughout so
large a portion of the lower classes of society. The
tisue had been when the education of the lower
classics was looked upon with a different eye from
that which now 'nuked it; it was, however, no
longer • spiestiou that educations should be uni-
versally diffused; knowledge bad gone forth, and
like the bull could toot be checked in its glorious
progress by human hands. The only remaining
consideration was 110/1 it could be diffused and
guided fur the best happiness of mankind ; in this
view, from the structure of the British and Foreign
Schools, they were entitled to pre.einineut pstrun.
age and support.—( Hear.)
The Rev. ROWLAND Hue came forward to
second the first Resolution. The Rev. Gentleman
repeated the observation he hoed made at a former
Meeting, in reply to an observation which had
fallen from his Royal Highness the Duke of Sus.
sex. The illustrious Duke had paid that these
School Societies were entitled to the support of
fiersosis of every persuasion and opinion, for they
had halting whatever in them political. From
this expression he at the time entirely dissented,
and had stated to his Royal Highness, that on the
contrary, lie thought theta highly political ; for
what could be more political fur a Government
that waisted to make its subjects peaceable and
loyal men, than first to give the poor of every per-
suasion that moral and religious education which
these Societies gave to every age and every sect,
and by suds means to guard them ageism' the deer)).

Would a people rebel against a Government that
put the Holy Scriptures into their hands; and
taught them to reed the divine word, and to coin-
este twenty and peace ?-140, they would not, end
they would be the first to stand out in support of
that Goveromeist ; and sure lie was, that when this
system was loaves-sally disseminated, instead of

—(Applease.)—The Rev. Gentlemsai then made
an impressive appeal to the fair pint of his auditors,
who needed no stimulus to urge them to acts of
beneficence and liumisisity its behalf of the female
children iii the School ; pie particularly pointed out
the service which the Ladies could do the lostitu-
tioo by teaching the tender children of their sex tbe
early use cif that valuable little machine—the
needle. He enforced in • striking masiner the great
mural advinitiitges, both to society and the individual,
which follow the habit of early nolustey—aisil

efforts of this Society, said its , every day

beggar how to reedited work, from that moment
the individual ceased to live by idlenesti and crime.
The moment, therefore, that they educated Ilse
poor, they paved the way to the speedy abolition of
that siumonce, begging.---(Applasse.)...The Rev.
Gentleman paid a just complionnot to the vetierable
King, slid to the Dukes of Kent and Sussex, for
the interest they had eliewii to these establishments,
and said, that as the work of education went on, a
complete reformation would take place in the
habits end morals of the lower chitties. " We must
go on with the great work," said the Rev. t)ieist'',
" until we root out pauperism, tag, rag, and bob-
tail."--( Loud laNghter./
Mr. CHARLES BARCLAY, M.P. rose to move the
fecund Resolution, and as it eibbraced is euitalle
tribute to their Royal Nighttime" the Dukes of
Kent and Suesex.he could not fur that reason alone
regret the momentary absence, of the latter, as his
presence would render it impassible to siwuk with
that plainness usi the .abject of his merits winch
their feature end extent deniauifeil.—(The Honour-
able Gentleman had proceeded thus far when the
arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex
was announced, and the Royal Duke took the
Chair amid greet applause.)
Mr. BancLay resumed, and alluded to an ex-
pression just used by the Rev. Divine (Rev. R.
Hill), to which he could aim altogether swept. H a
Reverend Friend had said, that isi a short time,
when universal education hid covered the land, the
children of beggars would soon be no longer found.
His Rev. Friend should•uot have said " soon," for
the instant these children received the seeds of edu-
cation, that instant they would cease to hey,•.—(dp-
pluese.)—He then eulogised the philanthropy of
his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, and hoped
the Royal Duke would soon be swain among them,
side by side with their present illustrious Chairmen,
pleading the cause of universal education' and chit-
rity.—(Applasue.)
Mr. WILLIAMS seconded this Resolution, and
concurred in every thin,. that had been sisirl in
praise of this valuable Cstitution. The value of
general education teas like the air we breathe, un-
boussded, and wheiever it was diffused must cheer
with health and comfort those who tasted its bless-
ings. He declared his cordial wishes for the pro-
motion of the interests of the British and Foreign
School Societies, stud highly approved of there
auxiliary branches to give local effect to the system
of education.—(App/ause.)
The Rermt. CHARIMAN rose to return thanks,
for himself and his illustrious Brother, for the
honour the Meeting had joist done them. The
Resolution had only done them justice in giving
credit to the interest they uniformly felt to promote
the principle of universal education. And lie land
the satisfaction to state, that perhaps before witty
days had'pemed they might spin see his illustrious
Brother presiding at a Meeting like this.—(Great
epplause.):-.The Royal Chairman rheas stated that
he had intended a Meeting on the previous; day,
which lard en object similar to the present. At
that Meeting allusion lied been snide to the efficacy
of education in preventing victims from being en-
trapped into that species of crime expreiely con-
nected with a term which had unfortimately of late
crept into our language, under the title of " blood-
tttttt ey." There would be nu vic t i ttt for the aban-
doned plotters who sought this detestable reward. if'
the poor were early taught to reed, and lead the
moral life which they must pursue, if they attended
to the precepts of that book put into their hands sit
these schools.—(Applasese.)-.-ln every view, whe-
ther moral, religious, or political, sue:ety was
deeply interested in supportisig these institutions,
and he woald ever be fousid at his post advocating
their claims and euforciiig their necessity.—(4lp-
phase.)
The Rev. J. TOWNSEND proposed the third Re-
solution, and advocated, in 1111 eloquent manner,
the cause of education. He justly said. that the
Parent Institution of these School Societies had the
merit of stimulating into action the authors of the
Establishments called the National Schools, which
would Heller have had existed were it nut fur the
beg' • gof Joseph Lineastrr.—(llear, hear.)--
So that they might take credit to themselves for
having celled forth the Irbours of Archdeacon
Thomas, and the other respectable characters
alto had stepped forward to diffuse estimation ou the
principles of the Established Church. Between
that system which eir.:s called the Natiolial and this,
there could be leo other rivalry than that of seeing
which could do most to diffuse education in every
class of the community. The Rev. Gentleman ad-
verted to the cheapness of the Ins-sent play, and
the facility it afforded of making education uni-
versal, which could nut be done in former times,
from the dearness.of instruction, arid other impecli-
talents, now happily removed.
The Rev. Dr. SCHWABE 'seconded this Resolu-
tion, and gave the Meeting is gratifying account of
the progress of education on this system in Isis 1111.
tive country, Germany, and the rapist strides it
was making over the population of other parts of
the Continent.

Lord ALTMOIRP, in returning thanks for him-
self and the Vice-Presidents, assured the Meeting
of his dordial and unceasing support to this foot-
tutiou. because its principle was univerwsl, and it
extended the benefits of education to toll chigoes at
the community& without any distinction or disqua-
ti cat io is. —(Appio use.)
Mr. FAVILE. (of the Common Council) pro-
posed the fourth Resolution, and referred to ihe
early struggles of the Society, when though want
of funds it tottered to its here, and whets he had
&ergs the greatest mod best supporters of it tremble
for its fate. Often had lie filet in Comtnittee iss

premises warm erected, those great ■nd lamented

Fox, who were liktiOlt ill to slate of despair et the

orercoiniog its difficulties. If these great end

Mr. W A L LEN (of the Society of Friends),
in proposing the fifth Resolution, lamented thot
the task devolved upon him to appear in public on
this occasion, and for the niotneeit abandon that
privacy in whirl, he always wished to remain while
performing the duties that attitehrel to lain in fur-
therance of the objects of this leisritiitioo. Ile
was highly gratified at seeing this Meeting so ex-
cellently attended. It was the first example of the
anniversary of the Auxiliary Society, which was
the first established to aid • the great object of the
Parent institution. They were slow happily spreed-
iug, and would, in the end, complete the %hote
circle of the plait laid down by the British and Fo-
reign School Institution. Allusions hail berm aptly
made to the connection between ignorance and de-
lisiqueticy, and he had to state to the Meeting that
lie was one of those who had been engaged in us)
inquiry on this subject, as to the state of juvenile
depravity in the metropolis, and the result of their
investigation was, that ignorance oils tie parent
of all these juvenile delinquesiciee, mud th it
its in) case had a child reared at the losti-
tuition been found to lapse into vice.— (App/orise.)—
The worthy Gentleman referred to the times of
antiquity, to chew th .t when it was intended to
keep a State in subjection—to keep it in ignorance
was the mode adopted by the conqueror. and ef-
fectual it was fermi in the result. Mush had beets
liitely said on the subject of the prisons, and as he
raw a worthy member of the Corporation of Lon-
don present (Mr. Favell), he could speak Ins sen-
timents 'dandy and unequivocally on that subject.
His fixed opinion was, that while tlie viiscine re_
inaiiied in their regent plan and condition, in vain
could any moral umelioration in their inmates bet
hoped for, to the extent that it ought to be efUct.

The present system of the prisons, so far friar 'feud-
ing to the preservation of society,' kept t up a con.
stint successive education of crime.—(Hear.)—
Then as to the mode of inflicting capital punish-
ments, this was a disgrace and scandal to the
comitry.--s(Heur, hear./—FI sd they not heard of
the late instance at the Old Bailey, %%here execution
was done on persons of that sex, whose very faults
were treated witts the pity of every manly mind.
This execution (mid not for any such crime us tour.

cited, had it been done iii America, universal hor-
ror; in France, in Switzerland, in Holland, the
same feelings of disgust. Wes England then alone
the country in which such spectacles ...mild be en-
dined ? If so, wretched indeed woe his country,
when the private security of its society could not be
p -ed, without outraging the best feelings of the
heart.—(ilppluase.)-1 here was a way of prevent-
ing these sad spectacles, and the Legislature awl
the 111 l of universal education could go hand
its hand to remove the stain from the coutitiy. La-
bourers in the cause were alone wanted ; money
could be had from various quarters, and from a
benevolent public; hut the chief waist was of pc,-
bolle who would take an active part in looking into
the subject, and giving their aid to carry it *
effect. The worthy Gentleman then drew a most
satisfactory picture of the growth of the universal
school system, within the short iwrind of two years,
on the Continelit. fu France 483 schools had beet)
established. and it was fr.itir,mg to lean,. that at
a late examination, the !Oiliest prize, the gold
medal, was given to Francis Martin, who had beto
tent over Mom the Borough School, to inculcate
the system in the schools ;dirtied. It was right to
mark this liberality on the part of Framer, for Met,
tin was a Proteomert.--(,lpp/aiese.)--In Spain,
schools were established.—(Applouse.)-1.1 Arne-
rice every thing was doing, raid the State of Pelvis

PREVENTION OF FORGERY.
Mr. SRA* o.riti, before they adjourned. lie wish-
ed, in the most respectful manner. to call the atten-
tion of the Court to a matter that affected their
feelings as men. and one to which he believed their
I)irectoia had given, sod Vero then giving, a greet
degree of eonsederation: He alluded to a plau for

of persons employed in forging Bank notes, and in

temptation to forge, and the facility with which
that crime could be effected, were very much die-
proportioned to the chalice of detection and of
punishment. Ile. therefore, ruspectfullv submitted
to the Court of Directors, that stfipe piddle auto:.
cation shoilld be made in the NeWspapers, or
through some other channel, ,in order that the
tendon of artists might be called to the subject,
by which means their notes might be better formed

effect, yet it would chew to the public that the
batik were ant inattentive to this very important
matter. He believed, although the Proprietors
were peifectly satisfied with the conduct of the
Directors; oat this and other polio, that the public
were not equally so, with respect to the manufac-
ture of Blink notes. The pbbhic would, he con-
ceived. lie much better satisfied than they were

greatly to reditce the eril. A plan had noshed been
pin into his hands, whichy he thought, would tee-.

respectfully suggested to the Court of Directors

THE BRITISH PRESS.

LON DON,

FRIDAY, MARCH (20. ISM

The rumour of an immediate dissolution of Par•
fitment has been revived within the last few d.o)s
with increased confidence. So actively have the
Members of she Muse of Commons been em-
ployed in writing to their political friends in the
country, it is with difficulty a stranger ions been
able to procure a frank. Great numbers of them,
availing themselves of the present short adjourn-
went, have left town to Nineties their constituents,
to renew old promises, and make new professions.
The idea of an immediate dissolntion, it thus ay-
pears, is seriously entertained at head-quarters.
where the beet information might be expected :
and yet there are apparently strong grounds of
doubt, if net of incredulity, upon the soilsject.—
The public business in the House of CallllllollB is
or that important nature that cannot be broken Off
or brought to a conclusion in fi few days. The reason
of the year is also unfavourable. The fermentation
of a general election would be More felt in the
spring than at the close of summer. -We hove shoo
the repeated assurance of lord (741TLICREmal,
his place in the House,. distinctly declaring his
ignorance of any intention of as immediate dis-
solution, an assurance uot. given übiter, but in
positive answers, in contradiction of direct charges
of the actual existence of such intention. It is
also to betaken into account that the Minister at
the present moment reposes on a bed of down, and
that every thing goes ou smoothly in the House of
Commons -under the auspices of an imposing
majority.
