EDUCATION •.01,1171E POOR.

Mr. Jowl Lascarrzst has lately been establishing
schools in various places, and lecturing on his plan oaf
education. Among many of the schools, is one at
-Bristol end Canterbury; to each of these places he
had the most respectable invitations, and his lectures
met the approbation of his hearers, who received his
details with acclamations. The goodness.of the Kitts
and Royal Family in patronizing and supporting this
serrecuted Quaker, is highly to their honour, and their
patriotic concern for the education of the poor is
equally endearing to their subjects. At Bristol the
school is ready -to open for SOO boys, • at Dover one
for 300 was completely organized in two Weeks, by a
lad of 17, who established the school at Clewer, near
Windsor which was visited by the Queen and Prin-
cesses last summer. The Queen also saw this.lad and
knew he was a member of die established church. It-
was kr who organized a school at Canterbury in the
Archbishop's old palace :—in the very place where
Lellards were tortured for ha.vieg Bibles, 300 hitherto
poor neglected -children, are now taught to read.
What a contrast even since the days of Archbishops
' Becket and Land ! At Canterbury there were SOO
boys admitted in two days, so great was the want of
education in that populous city, and so deeply was it
felt, that every benevolent heart in the place was alive
to the important object. At Lynn and Cambridge,
schools for 300 each, are expected immediately to
open, under the sanction of the clergy of the places
and all the respectable inhabitants. It was an ex-
traordinary circumstance to see a Owlet- in the town
hall of Cambridge with an audience of 7 or SW persons
called together at six hours notice to hear a lecture,
the • majority of the University being present, and the
King's Professor of Divinity in the Chair. The lec-
ture was received by the Assembly with the highest
approbation ; the establishment of a school was pro-
posed, and above 108 guineas subscribed before the
audience left the room ; the next day the subscriptions
L were nearly double. The thanks of the meeting were
lven to Mr. LANCASTER, for his instructive lecture.
A Quaker lecturing on education—an audience of
'Clergy and Students listening with the most marked
'attention for two hours to the details of this loyal-and
liberal plan of education ! Could any thing mark in
equally indelible colotirs, the liberality of the Univer-
sity of Cambridge? For the particulars of this of
education we refer the Reader to the last number but
one of the Edinburgh Review, which contains a most
masterly performance on this subject ; believed to be
written by a Clergyman of the Church of England. •
We are truly happy to sec Mr. hyscAsrEn has his.
advocates among the Clergy, who, as a body, have
been unjustly branded for the act of a few, as the
abettors of ignorance. *We believe almost every thing
which has been written in the different Reviews, &c.
in favour of this economical system, has been written
by Clergymen, and more are ready to take up their
pens in its favour.
