1 county with Which he was most intimately acquainted.
The communications to which he referred most distinctly
stated that the measure had given the greatest satisfaction
in that county to all classes of -Dissenters.
ecdouin.rotym
The Rev. R. Galena:is (one.of the Deputies from
Northamptonshire), stated, that here his lordship was alto-
gether misinformed ; that he (Mr. Griffiths) was inti-
mately acquainted with the state of feeling among the
Dissenters in that county on the subject, and that the mea-
sure had given the greatest dissatisfaction there.
Lord ALTHORP, after again repeating the expression of
his surprise and disappointment that the measure had not
proved satisfactory to the dissenters, and; stating that he
conceived the concessions made to that bodF'svere so libe-
ral as ought to obtain their approval of th'e measure, said,
that he would be inclined to give every attention to the
representations which the deputation had now made, com-
ing, as their statements did, from the representatives of so
respectable a body ; but wished them distinctly to under-
stand that he could not feel himself justified in holding out
to them any hope of any other measure being brought for-_
ward on the subject by the government.
The unanimous opinion of the deputation, on hearing
this announcement, was, that rather than accept so partial
a measure, they Would prefer the present state of things.
They intimated this to his Lordship, who again expressed
his regret that they were not satisfied with the measure.
The interview then broke up, after having- lasted upwards
of an honr.
The United Committee of Dissenters met yesterday, at
one o'clock in the afternoon, at Dr. Williams's Library,
Redcross-street, to learn the result of the interview whieh
the deputation had with Lord'Althorp on Saturday. The
resolution they came to, on the particulars being stated,
was that of the dePutation themselves--namely, rather ta
continue as they were than to accept so partial and imper-
fect a measure as that proposed by Government.
They further agreed to recommend to all the local com-
mittees and congregations throughout the united kingdom
to get up and forward petitions to parliament immediately,
praying for a far more liberal measure of relief than that
of Government. The united committee are to have a.
most energetic petition on the subject, ready to be pre-
sented to parliament on Thursday, and expect that those
whOi will be forwarded from all parts of the country will
be equally explicit and uncompromising in enforcing the
claims of dissenters.
It was stated at the meeting yesterday by the aeveral
deputations which had waited on members of parliament
with the view of ascertaining the probable extent of sup-
port on . which they could rely on this occasion from the
House of Commons, that in the great majority of cases,
those members had expressed themselves unwilling and
afraid to oppose the measure of goveinment, lest ministers
should thereby be thrown out of office, but all concurred,
in acknowledging the great power, wealth, intelligence,
numbers, and respectability of the disienters. They
also acknowledged that the government or parliament
could not long resist the union and determination of dis-
senters, and expressed their fears of the issue, adding, that
it was wholly impossible for government to stand, if the
dissenters should desert it.
The United Committee also referred to the question of,
a separation between church and state. The feeling was
almost unanimous in favour of such separation ; but as
there was a diversity of opinion among the members as to
the propriety of petitioning the legis ature in existing cir-
cumstances for the abolition of the union between church
and state, the understanding come to was, that the united
committee should not at present make that abolition part
of the prayer of their petition.

The necessity, however of establishing voluntary church
associations throughout the country, on precisely the same
principle as those existing in Scotland, was more clearly
seen and more sensibly felt by the committee, in conse-

The twenty-ninth annual meeting of the British ad Fo-
reign School Society was held yesterday, in the great
room of Exeter-hall, Strand; the right hon. Lord- J.
RUSSELL, M.P. in the chair ; for the purpose of hearing
the committee's and treasurer's reports for the year just
ended, and of discussing the objects and plans of the
society.
On either side of the noble and patriotic chairman were
numerous distinguished individuals ; amongst whom were
—Lord Morpeth, Lord Mount Sandford, the Earl of
Chichester, Sir George Strickland, Bart., M.P., Mr.
Buckingham, M.P., Mr. William Allen, treasurer (allu-
ded to as one of the oldest and best friends of the society) ;
Mr Dunn, Secretary to the society ; the Rev. Mr.
Hueigh, of Glasgow ; Mr. Josiah Conder ; Mr. Charles
Lushington (Brother of Dr. Lushington), late from India;
the Rev. Richard Knill, of St. Petersburgh, &c. &c., ; all
of whom addressed the meeting, which was densely
crowded, and composed, in a large proportion, of ladies,
in favour of the objects of the society.
The NOBLE CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the
meeting, said he felt much pleasure in alluding to the
parliamentary grant of 20,000/. made to the Society since
their last meeting. The sum, it was true, was small ;
but the effect which it produced, as showing that govern-
ment was favourable to the objects of the Society, was one
of great utility—having induced the public to subscribe to
the amount of 60,000/. for the promotion of education and
towards the building of school-houses. ( Hear, hear.)
The more the Society proceeded, the more he was con-
vinced of its good. Its plan was to admit children of
every sect into its schools (Applause) ; and having been
founded on the principles of religious liberty, with a scrip-
tural education for its basis, he trusted that on those
principles it would continue to be conducted. ( Hear, hear. )
The noble lord then announced a subscription of 100/.,
which he had that morning received on behalf of the
Society from the Duke of Bedford (his lordship's venerable
father), and concluded amidst much applause.
Mr. DUNN, secretary of the society, read the report of
the committee, which commenced by congratulating the
meeting on the auspicious circumstances under which the
affairs of the society then flourished—unincumbered b
debt, and effective in its various departments. (Cheers.)
It stated that the number of schools in this country and
Wales had increased one-third during the -last year, and
that they now amount to 3,445, at which 166,600 children
are receiving the benefits of education. (Applause.) The
committee rejoiced that a sum of money was placed at the
disposal of his Majesty for the erection of schools. By
the public meetings held in the various towns throughout
the empire, a sum of 29,383/. had been obtained towards
defraying the expenses of the schools. The report then
alluded to the various places in England where schools
have been established, embracing Redruth (in Cornwall),
Durham, Blackburn, Oldham, Sedgley (in Staffordshire),
Stafford, Sheerness, Chudleigh (in Devon), Torrington,
Devon, &c. &c., in several of which the large populations
were in a state of ignorance, and in some of which three-
fourths of the population could neither read nor write. At
Sheerness, it continued, with a population of 7,000, there was
only one school ; and such was the want of education
there, that the workmen in the Dock-yards subscribed
2501. towards the erection and establishment of schools on

he Society's plan, in shares of 15s. each. (Cheers.) In
Chudleigh, the poor offered to subscribe one
.penny a week
towards a school ; and in Cornwall, the mining labourers,
having but twelve shillings a week wages, subscribed and
made up a voluntary contribution of sixty pounds, which
they presented to the Society. (Much applause.) The
foreign transactions of the Society were described by the
Report as most favourable, including France, Italy, Asia
Minor, South America, New South Wales, the Islands in
the South Seas, the East and West Indies, Montreal, Ha-
lifax, &c. ; and concluded by stating that liberty of con-
science, the abolition of all religious tests, and, as already
stated, a Scriptural education, formed the basis of the
proceedings of the Society ; and by hoping, that as the
expenses were greetly increasing, the annual subscriptions,
which were lamentably deficient, would improve ; and that
the friends of the Society—much of the funds of which
were derived from voluntary contributions—would use in-
creased exertions to promote its interests.
Mr. ALLEN (treasurer) then rose to read the " Cash
Report," the income side of which commenced with a sub-
scription of 100/. from the King (the announcement of
which was received with cheers). It then proceeded
through the various other items derived from various
sources, including auxiliary societies, donations, a bequest
of 600/. from the late Rev. Rowland Hill (Cheers), profits
on sale of books, legacies, &c. ; amounting altogether in re-
ceipts to 4,162/. 95., out of which the expenditure
amounted to 3,618/. 14s. 10d., leaving a balance in hand
of 543/. 14s. 2d. The treasurer then proceeded to observe
on the great importance of training masters and mistresses
for conducting the schools, their success depending on the
proper training of those persons. For this purpose'the
society found it necessary to enlarge their premises in the
Borough-road, so as to enable them to be in a condition to
send out any year one hundred effective teachers. Having
alluded to several other matters, Mr. Allen concluded by
hoping that the government would continue its support to
the society, which now required greater pecuniary assist-
ance than ever.
The NOBLE CHAIRMAN assured the meeting that
Government did not intend to confine its support to the
grant of 20,000/. mentioned ; and that it had now under
consideration the object of granting funds to the Society'
for the purpose of establishing Training Schools.
A series of resolutions were then proposed and seconded
by the Noblemen and Gentlemen above enumerated, em-
bracing the gratitude of the Society to his Majesty, the
Government, and the Supporters of the Institution,
together with various other objects connected with the
Society ; and the speakers, in every instance, bore testi-
mony to the great good produced by the schools both at
home and in foreign countries.
Thanks were voted to the noble chairman ; after which
the meeting separated, subscribing very liberally at V,‘,e
doors on their departure.
