who had been for some time used to the style of writing in the
London schuitis. He resolved to place all hie pupa's at the sand

Your Committee has been intormed that there have existed in
Path a t:unahcr of Schools sitiolar to the Ward Schools tit Lon-
don, in which about 4,oun children have been usually vett:cat, d.
tati estimate' has been made that in that city there are at least
10,1) 0 children without any means of insa -inn; it has also
been ascertained that the &wawa' part of tae depreileinits cont•
named in Pena are by buss from twelve to litteen rani ot age,
who can neither read nor write, but are id a btite ot the grossest
ignorance.
The eatraordlnarrfatakkeof the British System are now ap-
preciated, and it is expected that progressively a number of
bchoole will be imehhshed adequate to the wants of the whole
community.
'rhe Prefect of the Seine and the Mayors of the Twelve Ar-
rondissements of Paris have paid particular attention to the pro-
gress of Mr. Martin; -and it is with the utmost pleasure that
your Committee are able to anouunce, that a Decree was issued
on the ad of November, by the Pretect of the Department of the
aeisie, under the authority of the Xlinister of the Interior, ap-
pointing the Committee already named, with the addition of the
Duke de lx Rorbetoucault. Deudeativille, and Mons. Benjamin
'Menet, a Council of Instruction, authorized to establish wawa.
in the twelve Arrondissements of Voris, and in alt the Communes
of the Department of the Seine.
Already active measures have been adopted for the isitroduc-
don of the Systeds Into the Departments. Count Lynch has un-
dertaken to establish a Sellout at Bourdeaux ; and by a letter
, under elate of the Ist instant, the agreeable news has been retel-
-1 ved that several persona hail beau sent to Mr. Martin to be qua- ,
hfied to convey theaystem in all direction..
Your Counaihtve reel assured that these details will be recei-

tensive benefits to mankind at large, which must result ft mit the
establishment of this System of Education impetus the Continent of
Europe, cannot be conceived. Even 11l the infancy of the hied-
tether at Paris, a striking-example has occurred: the Emperor
ot Russia having charged a Gentleman of his Court to examine
&lithe Institutions for primary Instruction, he visited Mr. Mar-
dies School; Aver having stayed there a considerable time, and
ezamined all the proceedings, Ile repres-ed himself in glowlug

degree inimical to the firmer System further than he
could not approve of an lustitntion which limited its
benefits to the children of °lie religious sect.—
Such a system, in fact it was impossible for any li-
beral mind or heart to admire— ( Loa and reiterated
applause.) The British and Foreign School System
made no distinctions, and was alike open to the chil-
dren of all religions— (apitairrete)Alld he was happy
to state, that in home t easepitellt was
made by which one day in the week would be de-
voted to religious education. The Clergymen
of the Church of England, as he sincerely hoped
they would, would then have an opportunity of
instrncting such as professed their religion, and
every other Clergyman of whatever religious persua-
sion would have the same facilities of giving instruc-
tions to the children of their respective flocks—(ap-
ileac.) Thus he hoped the wish of our revered So.
verciAtr, so frequently quoted, that every child
should be able to read and .understand the Bible,
would eventually he accomplished.—(emisnue.) His
Roy-... 1 Highness then adverted to the necessity of co.
operation between the Bible Sucieties and the British
and Foreign School Society ; considering as he did,
that the former with( tit the assistance of the latter
would be completely nugatory.
Count LIEVSN (the Russian Ambassador) rose to
second the resolution proposed by his Royal high-
ness, in doing which lie expressed his thanks for the
flittering manner in which such allusion had been made
to his Imperial Master, and assured the meeting that
the Emperor of Russia was must happy in following
the proud example which England had set to the
rest of the world, in prontotiug the great and impor-
taint work of universal education.— ( Loyd cheer: )
Mr. BitOUGIIANI now rose and said, that though it
was impossible for him to add to the impressive
spuecli of the eloquent and illustrious person who
had last addressed them, in favour of the great prin-
ciples which the society ackarowled4ed and main-
tained—an ardent etestic to promote universal in-
rine ion, and a ti%ed and rutted determination to
sueport religious tile, oion—His ohjectan rising was
to propose a vote of thanks to the illustrious pot sons
high ins their .lists, one. of whom was lien present.
