EDUCATION OF TilF, POOR.

On Tuesday last a very 'interesting scene was
exhibited at .the. Central School (I3aldwin's Gar-
dens, Gray's,lontlane), the National Society
for the Education of the Poor in the principles of
the Established Church. It was the half-yearly'
public examination of the children, who displayed
a knowledo of. their religious and moral duties,
a proficieuey in writing and arithwetiC, that ex-
cited the astonishment and adMiration of the com-
pany.
The Duke Of YORK., who honoured the exami-
nation with his,presence, 'toOk a lively interest in
the business 'of the day. His Royal nightie:SS was
at t d eit by—
Gen:A.-al:Calvert and colonel Gordon, and was met by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Luticlou; Exeter,
Carlisle, Chester; P.ight lion. Sir John:
Rev. Archdeacon Pott, Rev. Archdeacon Cambridge, Rev.
Dr. Bell; the ingenious and benevolent Inventor of the Ma-
dras System cif Teaching, Dr. Carey, Mr. Russel; the Head
Master of the Charter-House, Lady Nichol, Nlrs.'Fisher,,Mrs.
P. Fisher, Mrs. Carey, and several ,Members of the Coin-
matte.
From the extensive and rapid progress which
this system of education is making throughout the
kingdom, we may confidently anticipat a very-
gratifying improvement in the 'religious and moral
-char:ft:ter of the people ; and we may hope that,
under Providence, these blessings Will not be con-
fined to ourselves, but that we shall,be the means
vf conveying the pure doctrines of Christianity,
as. exemplified in the beautiful fabric- ot.our Esta-
blished Church, to the remotest earners of the
globe.,
The progress made by the children of both
sexes within the last half year has been very great.
When the examination was finished, the !mar&
were distributed by:-the Duke of IroilK mid. the
ARAIIIntsHor.
Dr. RELL's experiment of conducting education
by encouragement; by rousing a spirit of emula-
tion and by rewards, in opposition to the plan of
carrying it on by servile fear ?Ind cruel punish-
ments, has now been fairly tried, and the most,
complete success justifies the propriety of the
measure.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J. 48.

Upon the suggestion of the ATTOTNEY-GENE-
RAL the Nisi Prins Sittings in London to-morrow,
(this day,) were postponed- acceunt of the
State of the strec:ts, which Lord ELLENBCYROUoIi
said, would prevent the parties and witty asses from
attending the tours.

Er-parte WILLIAM STURMAN.
Mr. GASELEk moved for a habeas carpi and cer-
tiorari to discharge a party committed to prison
upon defective examinations, under a. charge of
setting his house on fire in Half-moon-street.—
He did this _upon an exculpatory affidavit of the
party himself, going to prove an alibi, hut it. was
not corroborated, and did- not state wl.erein his
examinations were insufficient.

Lord ELLENEOROUGH said, a foundation must
be laid for an application. to find a flaw in the
Magistrate's examinations. If Abe Court were-to
take facts from prisoners; nobody would ever be
committed to gaol.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 28.
[BEFORE THE VICE- CIIANCELLORI

ASSIGNEES OF TIIICKEY, A BANKRUPT, V. ROUNDS

This was the case of a bill filed by the assig-
nees of the bankrupt under a second commission,
against the solicitor in that commission, to com-
pel him to account for the rents and• profits of
certain real estates which belonged to the bank-
rupt, and to have these estates sold. _ '

It appeared that the bankrupt had been inti-
tied to part of these estates in right of .his wife,
wbo had joined her husband in a demise of' the
estates for 1000 years, to secure a suns of money
borrowed Uy the- husband. This mortgage had
been purchased by the solicitor, who also, upon
the bankruptcy of the husband, 'purchased the
equity of redemption from the.assignees to whom
'the estates had been conveyed by baygain and sale
in the usual manner. A second commission hav-
ing for some reason or other been taken out, and
new assignees chosen, they filed- the present
bill,—upon the ground chiefly that tke equity of
redemption ought to he given up by the solicitor,
on payment to him of the sum which he had ad-
vanced for it, because, he being solicitor oneer
the commission, \could not, according to •a well-
known rule in equity, be a purchaser of the bank-,
rupt's interest.
It was, however, answered and objected on
the part of the defendant, that this cause could
not proceed further at present, „for two reasons,
Ist, because the wife was not a party, who cer-
tainly Ought to have been- so, ass the bankruptcy
of the husband could not conclude ,her interest;
she therefore was entitled to be present at taking
the accounts. 2dly, Because, the .fo-rmer" assig-
nees, or the survivor of them, if aliVe, or the
heir'af law of the,survivor,, LI they were ,both
dead, ought to have hecri parties or a party, in.
astnuch as, by the bai•Oin and sale, the legal
estate was • iii these assignees, the' survivor of
them, or the heir at law ; and the bargain and
sale had not been vacated.
The Vice-CHANCELLOR thought the objections
well founded, and the cawse was stopped till the
bill should be amended by adding the proper
parties.
