NATIVE
SCHOOLS IN INDIA.—The initnense
Nimportance of establishing Schools tor the diffusion, in the
Wet place of European, and ultimately of Christian Knowledge,
amorgst Native Children in India, mist be admitted by all who
have seriously reflected upon the means of propagating the Gospel
in the East. .

Little progress tan be expected in this great work, unless the
mini has been prepared for the reception of Christianity by some
previous instruction. This point was repeandly anti earnestly
pressed upon the attention of the Society for Promoting Christian
Knowledge by the late lamented Bishop Middleton. The advan-
tages to be derived front hence appear to be no less highly esti-
mated by Bishop Heber ; and the opinion of persons hest ac-
quainted with the East accords with the sentiments of these die.
anguished
'1"0 make provision for such instruction has long been an object
of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge; and it has for
a considerable time hail School+ in India, under the superinten-
dance and direction of its agents. With a view to provide the
means of extending the system, the Society has resolved to form a
itrito Fund for the establishment of Native Schools in India.
t:s for that purpose voted the sum of Five Thousand Pounds,
in addition to an anonymous benefsetion of 100111. and another of
2091. It is proposed to extend the benefits of this measure to all
parts of India; and to empower the Bishop of Calcutta. the
Archdeacons of Calcutta, 31adras, Bombay, and Ceylon, and the
Committees of the Society at those places, to appropriate portions
of the fund to the Native Schools in their respective districts. 'floe
system open which the Schools are to be conducted will be left to
the decision of the Ecclesiastical and Civil Authorities in India, in
conjunction with the Committees of the Society and the Jlanagers
of each local Institution. Grimm of money will be made for the
erection and enlargement of School Houses; books in English. and
is: the various Native Languages, will be provided ; and Native
Schoolmasters will be educated with the assistance of the Society.
That the Native School Fund may be made in some measure
proportionate to the vast held on which it Is to be ex?ended, and
to the acknowledged importance of its most desirable and truly
Christian object, the Society earnestly entreats the aid of the public
in donations or annual subscriptions.

'RMI in SPITALFIELDS.---eAt a NIEETIPTCI
the CONIM:TTEE, held in the Vestry-room, SPltal-
'l 26, 1826,
WM. HALE, Esq. In the Chair.
Committee regret to state, that in consequence of the nearly
nl state of their Fonds, they are co»pelleti to confine
.. -: to relieving those only whu are entirely without work,
and even those on a reduced scale. giving to a man and his wife
but •n. a week, and to single persons 3s. The utter Insufficiency
of this ri lief is too evident to require proof.
As the distress for want of employment continues undiminished,
the Committee earnestly appeal to the benevolence of those who
have in their power the means of nittigating the distresses of so
large and deserving a body of then iellow-creatures, as are the
silk Weavers of Spitallields, and trust that the foregoing statement
will produce sash an addition to their funds as may prevent the
sudden drying up of those sources to which so msoy thousand pour
persons have to look for the means of existence.
