Bewdley, 48th April, 18H. JOHN CAWOOD., „
An anonymous writer in The frorcester Herald of last
Saturday t s asserted that the paragraph in your Paperuf
the 8111 i ,st., respecting the Third AnniveisAty of the
" Bewdley Sunday ,school Association in Aid of the Church
Missionary Society," is •` evidently finial the pen of the Rev.'
Patron st the liewdley•Missionary Nucicty." That paragraph
is nut troth the pen of the Kee. fatron.
The anonymous writer " distinctly denies that the Meet-
ing was respectably attended." The Meeting, in every pos-
sible sense of the term, ~vas very respectably attended. Tu
deny the respectability of the Meeting (to say nothing of
many most retpectahle persons from .neighhouring places), is
ail insult to a great proportion of the respectable families of
Bewdley.

The anonymous Writer asserts that the Speakers on the
above occasion, or as he calls them, " these enlightened
Masters of Theology, are School boys." The Speakers at the
above Meeting, with the single exception of the young Gen-
tleman from India, were lint School boys.
The young Gentleman from India, the only School boy
among the Speakers, is the sou of the Otlieer now command-
ing the bt h Regiment of Native Cavalry ateawnpore. He
left India in his ttth year, and is now nearly Iti. He is. an
intelligent observer, and a competent witness of the facts
which he related, and thoroughly detests falsehood. But the
anonymous Writer declares that—" doubtless he had we II
rehearsed the part he was to act;", be bad nut rehearsed his
part at all.
" Some idea," says the anonymous Writer. " may be
formed of the eloreoce :IA argument displayed in the de-
fence of Penny Subscriptions from the Penny Speech of the
Journeyman Coppersmith." This speech will be published
immediately, and then some idea may be formed of it.
" It is extraordinary," says this anonymous Writer
" that this Meeting is called the Sunday School Assci-
elation in Aid of the Church Missionary Society." When it
is recollected that the Bewdley suncay School Association
was first formed in that School, carried on for several years
by the Teachers of that School, and all its public business
transacted within its walls;—it is not extraordinary that it is
called " The Bewdley Sunday School Association." lt,is so
called for the same reason as the must excellent Society for
promoting Christian Knowledge it called the Bartlett's
Buildings Society.

•' Though the Rev. Patron his received the collections and
donations for the Bewdity Nunday School, he has never,"
affirms the anonymous- writer, " cundeseendi.d to ►ay before
the Contributors any account of the expenditure." The Rev.
Patron has.thuoght it his duty, at the time of • the annual
Charity Sermons, to inform the Contiilintors.uf the state, of
the receipts and expenditure ; bat he has nut sent printed
accounts to the Subscribers to the Bev/airy Sunday Schools,
as is done to the Subscribers to the Bewdley Charity School,
because there are no Subscribers to the Bewdley Sunday
Schools.

" The donations and collections for the. Bewdley Sunday
School are,ono way connected with this Missionary Society;
and although received by the Rev. Patron, he has never con-
descended,'' &c. ,Ttie insinuation in this paragraph is 'so
contrary to truth, that " the Rev. Patron" is reluctantiy
compelled to publiah the following Statements, from. which
it will appear, that the Sunday Schools are very considerably
imiehtto,to him.

The Sunday School in Bewdley contains nearly SOO Chil-
dren; and the Sunday School in Bewdley, Forest nearly iuo.
For both Scknols there are about 30 Teachers. These two
Schools are supported by anneal Collections after Sermons,
and sums sent on account of these Collections, which, how-
ever, have always been exceeded by the expenditure. The
Children of the Bewdley Sunday School fur It years have
been regularly taken to Church every Sunday; and have been
rewarded with Clothing, Bibles, Testaments, Prayer Books,
and other Books, in proportion to their attendance, improtie-
went, and good behaviour.
It is only added, in reply to the last insinuation of the
anonymous writer, that the " Rev. Patron" is aSultscriber
to the Bewdley Charity School ; and at the request of the
Committee has preached the annual Sermon live times fur that
Institution. •

We received last night the Paris Papers of

Tuesday last, and this morning those of Wednes-
day. The Liquidation Projet was voted in the
Chamber of Peers on Monday, with the same
silence as in the Chamber of Deputies, and the
forms were gone through with equal, if not
greater rapidity. It was referred to a Special
Committee, the Report received, the Articles
voted, and then the whole Projet unanimously
adopted by 106 Peers, the whole number present,
and all in the same sitting. •

Ott Tuesday the Chancellor of France, at the
bead of the Bureani of the Chamber of Peers,
presented the Projet to the KING, as adopted by
that Chamber, and it has thus, we sulipose, be-
come a law.

The second number of The Courier du Midi was
seized on Sunday at the house of the printer.
Oue of the Journals mentions a very serious
dispute between the children of two quarters ot
Lyons, who pelted each other with stones. Be-
tween 30 and 40 ot them were taken into custody,
of whom four of the ringleaders were detained, to
be placed at the disposal of the judicial authority.
In the Chamber of Peers on Tuesday there
was no business of importance, and the Deputies
had no sitting.

The trial at Albi was expected to finish on
Monday last. Madame MANsoN delivered a long
speech in the sitting of the 29th ult. apologizing
for her conduct, which we are told made a consi-
derable impression upon her hearers.
The Court is not expected to go to St. Cloud
till July.

The Duchess d'ANootmErds proceeds shortly to
the waters of Bourbon,le.

A Letter from Smyrna states, that the oriental
Greeks had seized upon the Holy Sepulchre al
JerusaleM. The Abbe de F0R81N4A1.79014, whc

was then at Jerusalem, bad set ont in consequence
for Constantinople, to address remonstrances to
the Tu►kish Government,

The accounts from Constantinople mention, that
the conduct of the Divan, with regard to Serria,
was in direct opposition to the wishes of Russia,
in consequence of which the Russian Minister had
required new instructions from his Court.

The Emperor of RUSSIA left Warsaw the 11th

this month (May.)

On the 23d of April, at 10 o'clock in the morn-
ing, the ship I'Espoir, was wrecked at the mouth
of the Havre d'Arcachon, and nine unfortunate
seamen drowned. In the apace of one year 38
fishermen have been the victims of their excessive
boldness. A second subscription has been set
on foot at Bourdeaux, in behalf of the widows
and children of the nine unhappy sufferers.
The possessor of an estate, near Mayence, has
made discoveries which promise a very abundant
v►ntage. Having cut off the shoots of several
kinds of grapes, he set them in a very hot bed,
and they not only gave double the quanti;y of
grapes that they produced last year, but sprung
up with greater rapidity.—(Journal de Purls.)
