The American ladies, who' repeat the same strain, and.

The lady who emulates the fame of the Novellas and
the M-eratis is "Grange." She•wes, with her sister, de-

of property, wherein statistics and subtleties abounded,
and the issue of which was evidently to rest with the-ad-
vocate most deeply skilled in cunning of legal fence. The
grand pa.nre of forens7:c arms came off in the first law
courts of Paris. Madame Grange •undertook the entire
maintenance of the case for herself and her sister, whtk
opnosed to her was no less able an advocate than M. De-
tangle. In the presence of each other the learned prac-
titioners looked in the eyes of the spectators at fearful
odds. It was as though a raw Temple student had risen

to vanquish Sugden. or an Arhligeoinbe pupil to break the
guard of the accomplished Angelo.
The lady was nothing daunted at odds that made the
sreetators or auditors tremble. As M Delangle opened

THE PRIVY COUNCIL OF TH
SOCIETY.

NATIONAL

The following declaration has been signed by a large
number of the clergy and laity, with the view of counter-
acting the efforts of the G. A. Denison party in the Na-

We, the undersianed clergy and laity of the Church of
ngland, feel deeply interested in providing for the la-

cioles of the
Secular instruct

bed Church, combined with good

We are at the same time of opinion
that the proceedings of the majority at the last two an-
nual meetings of the National Society are calculated to
produce the serious misconception that they declare the
feeling of the whole church with regard to the educational

nd may thus tend materially to mi
v which it is already surrounded. We desire,

therefore, to state our decided co-' nvietior

-That many members of the National Society

awl a large number of the clergy and laity of the church
awl managers of church schools, are far from believing
that the Proceedings of the committee in Council are
" inimical to the education of the poor in the principles of
the Established Church."
Secondly—That the minutes of the Committee of Coun-
cil, including the management clauses aq at present exist-
ing, are upon the whole sound and judicious, and calcu-
lated not to interfere with the legitimate authority of the
clergy, bnt to create and keep alive amongst the laity an
interest much to be desired in the promotion of the great
work of national education, as well as to raise the standard
of education, by furnishing a better trained and better
paid class of masters and mistresses.
We are, therefore, prepared to act in the spirit of the
resolution which was rejected at the meeting of the Na-
tional Society on May 29th, and to declare that " it is
highly desirable that the most amicable relations should
exist between the church and the Committee of Council
on Education ; and that both the cause of sound religious
instruction and the interests of the church will be pro-
moted by their friendly co-operation."

prebendaries, 32 ; rural deans, 29 ; beneficed clergy,
