The Right Hon. Admiral Lord GAMBIER, G.C.B. President
of the Soeisty, in the Chair ;

It was Resolved, on the motion of the Right Hon. CHARLES
GRANT, M.P. one of the Vice-Presidents, seconded by the Trea-
surer, Joni: THORNTON, Esq.—To make the Annual Grant of
One Thousand Pounds for the year 1826, to Bishop's College,

former Grants, as might not have been appropriated, and might
he requisite for the purpose, in founding two Theological Scholar-
ships in the said College, for the education of Missionaries—such
Scholarships to bear the name of " Bishop Heber's Church Mis-
sionary Scholarships"—the Committee being desirous thereby to

At an Open Meeting of the Committee, convened for One
o'Clock of the same day, in order to consider in what manner it
might be proper to notice the lamented death of the late Lord
Bishop of Calcutta, the following Minutes and Resolutions were
adopted :
The Committee being anxious to record their deep feelings of
regret end grief, occasioned by the death of the late Bishop of
Calcutta,

On the Motion of the Rev. T. T. TifostasoN, M.A. Chaplain of
the Hon. East India Company, on the Bengal Establishment ;
seconded by the Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT, M.P. ;

It was Resolved—That while this Committee would bow with
submission to the will of Almighty God, they cannot but deeply
deplore the loss which this Society, and the Christian Church at
large, have sustained by the death of the late Right Rev. Reginald
Heber, Lord Bishop of Calcutta ; and, whilst they contemplate
with gratitude to the " Giver of all Goodness," the strong faith,
ardent seal, unaffected humility, universal love, and incessant
labours of this distinguished Prelate, terminating only with his
life, they feel themselves peculiarly bound to commemorate his
attachment to the cause of Missions, and more especially his wise
and parental superintendance of the Missionaries of this Society,
labouring within his Diocese, by whom, they trust, no less than
by themselves, that he will ever be remembered as a bright ex-
ample of those graces which most eminently adorn a Christian
Prelate.

It appearing to this Committee that the establishment of the
English Episcopacy in India has been attended with the most
beneficial consequences, in reference to both Europeans and Na-
tives, but that its increasing cares will press too heavily on any
one Prelate,

On the Motion of Sir /War. 'WIRY Isaias, Bart., seconded by

Colonel SANDYB,

It was Resolved unanimously—That while the Committee beg
to express, on behalf of the Sosiety, their respectful and grateful
acknowledgments to his Majesty's Government, and to the Court
of Directors of the Hon. the East India Company, for the sup-
port which they have given to the establishment of Episcopacy in
India, they unite their humble requests with those of the vene-
rable Societies for Propagating the Gospel, and for Promoting
Christian Knowledge, for the appointment of such a number of
Prelates as may be competent to the discharge of the weighty and
increased duties of the Episcopate in India.

A Memorial, grounded on the foregoing Resolution, having
been read, on the Motion of Lieut.-Gal. Patres, seconded by the
TAZASURIR,
It was Resolved--That th• Aismoitied which has been read be
approved; and that a copy thereof be presented to the Right Hon.
the Earl of Liverpool, First Lord Commissioner of his Majesty's
Treasury ; to the Right Hon. C. W. Wynn, President of the

tors of the Hon. the East India Company.
