For some time before the appointed hour, numbers of
carriages continued to drive up to the entrance of the
noble building, and before the opening, the room, which
is very capacious, was graced by the presence of great
numbers of the most distinguished families ani indivi-
duals of the town and neighbourhood. In the upper gal-
lery,
we observed also most of the pupils of the schools
in connection with the society, and other young persons,
in neat attire ; and the whole, including the crowded
platform, presented a spectacle highly pleasing to all in_ 1
terested in the good work of scriptural education.
About twelve o'clock, the Lord Bishop of the diocese,
followed by numbers of the clergy and gentry, entered
the room, and, his lordship taking the chair, arranged
themselves around him. The front seat of the choir im-
mediately behind was chiefly occupied by ladies, and an
appropriate voluntary on the organ gave additional solem-
nity to the occasion. Amongst those present we observed
the Revs. Dr. Tattershall, Dr. Byrth, Dr. Booth, W.

the room and lower gallery, many of our influential towns-
men, including our respected Mayor.
The proceedings were opened by singing the 100th
Psalm, and, after some appropriate prayers, read by the
Rev. the Secretary,
The LORD BISHOP rose, and addressing the assemblage
as Christian friends, said that in opening the business of
the day it was not necessary for him to state that they
were met to receive the annual report of the society, or to
do more than allude to the circumstances under which it
had been formed circumstances which had greatly
changed outwardly within the last seven years. In what
degree these circumstances would affect the prospects and
support of the society they were more competent to form
an opinion than himself. Those who were acquainted with
the facts (and we understood his lordship to allude to the
present improved system pursued at the corporation
schools) had informed him that though the object in view
had also been taken up elsewhere, those circumstances
ought to operate in favour of the society, though they
might have in some degree diverted public attention from
it. He hoped, however, that the society would not he
allowed to suffer in consequence of that change, or in
other words from its success when it stood alone; for it
would be hard if, because those who supported it i
