COMMIT rEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
(Conrinued from the S rat of Saturday.)
The Rev. TINIMILL THObtPSON WALMSLEY, Secre-
tary to the National Society, stated that this Society
was wholly supported by voluntary contributions and
donations. From the establishment of the Society in
1811, to the beginning of 1815, the whole sum re-
ceived has been rather more than £21.,000, the greater
part of which had been applied to the erection and
enlargement of buildings for schools ; since that time
£6OOO had been received in consequence of a strong
appeal to the public. The income of the Society in
annual subscriptions, was about £l5OO a year. The
Society had erected entirely at in own expense, the
National School in Baldwin's Gardens, Gray's-Inn-
Lane. Up to June ISIS, !V schools had been
erected. or enlarged by the partial assistance of the
Society, in sums from £l5 to £5OO. Considerable
supplies of elementary books had been furnished ;-
336 masters, and 86 mistresses, had been employed
in the principles and practice of the National system
..—who were now, with few exceptions, conducting
important schools in town and country, and besides
a great number of children who had already quitted
the different schools, after having received a compe-
tent share of instructian, more than 100,000 children
were actually returned to the Committee. as at th it
time under a course of education, in 570 schools for-
merly united to the National Society. Since that
period, about 140 schools had been united, in addi-
tion to that 570. In this calculation he included
Sunday Schools. •
Some of these schools had existed previously to the
formation of the National Society. He could not give
any estimate how many of the 122 schools, assisted
by the Society, were new schools.
Witness then delivered in a list of the grants made
by the Society to diocesan and district Societies, or
schools in union with it. In the year ending June
1814, it consisted of 40 different grants, from £l6
to £3OO each, amounting in all to ,6'3812. 10s.
When the Society makes a grant of money to a
school, it impoies these terms : —That the school
shall follow the National System of teaching as to
mechanism ; that the children be instructed in the
Liturgy and Catechism of the Church of England,
and attend constantly Divine Service, at some Church
or Chapel under the Church of England, unless a
satisfactory reason be assigned to the persons having
the direction df the school, and that no religious
tracts be admitted into the school, but such as shall
be contained in the Catalogue of the Society for pro-
moting Christian Knowledge.
The witness gave the following list of Schools in
London, united to the National Society :

To the Westtninster National School the Society
has given alrsoo, to St..Saviours £lOO, to the Saint
Martin's 41200, to Whitechapel £5OO, to Mile-End
£3O, to Limehotise £3OO. Many of the Schools in
this list are old charity schools reformed and extended.
The witness said, that the present annual subscrip-
tions at the different schools would educate a greater
number of children but for the want of space. He
believed that among the lowest orders there wat a
sreat desire to send their children to school. The
'society never made any nbjection to receiving chil.

The Rev. R. StmrsaN, who had the charge Of the
Whitechapel Free School, stated, that this School
was founded in 1813 by the ‘Vhitechapel Society ; it
was supported by ennui( usinns and was in connection
with the National Society, which contrionted inwards
its formation by the donation of a sosall sum of
money.—The establishment was not suggested by
the National Society. but arose from local exertions.
Its union with the National Society consisted in the
same system of instruction being pursued and the
same religious instruction being givt:ll. The White-
chapel Institution WAS not merely a school, but di.
vine service was performed there by the witness.—
Previously to the witness being at the head of the
school there was a master from the National Society,
and the witness had also an extra assistant thence ; at
present the establishment could go on without fur-
ther assistance. The witness had received his instruc-
tion from Dr. Bell's book ; he had seen it practised
at Baldwin's gardens, but had never attended regu.
larly there. The income of the establishment for 1815
was 5e1,254 10s. 2.1. ; the expenditure £Bl3 2s. 10d.
the remainder of the income was applied to liquidate
the balance of the former year and to repay loans,
on which £l,lOB still remained due. The establish-
ment could teach 1,00) children, and 700 actually
attended. The numbers had much increased since
he first came—at that time there were between 3 and
400. They paid 4d. a month, which was given away
in rewards, but when the parents were so dissressed
it was not exacted. The mistress's salary was ‘7O,
his own £157 los. •

Being asked how the number for which the school
was calculated was not full, he said that they could
not at once persuade the lower orders to conform to
their wishes. He thought there were ample means
to educate all the uneducated children in the neigh-
bourhood ; some children came to the school from
other pat ishes ; borne from Bethnal-green and Spital-
fields. He supposed there were many children ut
Catholics or Dissenters. There were also some Jews;
he did not know to what extents There were children
not of the establishment in his school, but the num-
ber was very inconsiderable compared with the whole.
There were many uneducated persons in the neigh-
bouring parishes, but he thought there were means
of educating them if they would embrace the op.
