LANC4STERIAN MEETING.

.......,ip=

On Wednesday, the 4th inst. a General Meeting of
the Inhabitants of the Wards of Aldersgate, Bassi-
sham, Coleman-street, Cripplegate Without and
Within, and of the extensive and populous Parish
of St. Luke, convened by public notice, was held
at Brewers' Hall, for the purpose of instituting a
Society for the support of a school of 1000 children
On the plan of Mr. JOSEPH LANCASTER—et which
were present Mr. Alderman WOOO, Sir Wm. Pcommt,
Alderman, Mr. Sherif Heirsiereploarn inexeow,Esq.
M. P. and a numerous nssembly of Gentlemen of
the highest respectability, resident in that district
of the metropolis.
Mr. Alderman WOOD having been called to the
Chair, read a letter from Mr. WiseraxmAD, stating
his regret that his detention at the House of Com-
mons, until five o'clock in tie morning, would pre-
vent his attendance at the Meeting; but that from his
local connexion in the neighbourhood of the intewd-
ed school, as well as from the warm• attachment he
had ever felt to the cause of the Education of the
Poor, he should give his best support to the intended
[
establishment. Alderman Woes opened the beefi-
ness of the day, by expressing his regret at the ab-
sence of Mr. WHITBREAD, because he-had hoped to
have seen him preside at the Meeting. lie then stated
that he was aware there would not be wanting many
who would avail thenisebres of the opportunity of his
tiling that situation, to impute to that Meeting poll-
•tical views, which they would indignantly disclaim.
To such imputation he should be personally indif-
*rent' as it was his invariable practice to act consci-
-1
rentiously, and to obey only the impulses of his
heart, sanctioned by iiis realm; bet on an occasion
of that kind, it wai of the very highest importance
'that the public should be convinced that any seek im-
putation was incorrect. lie then proceeded to show,
that the present institution had been contemplated
long before the formation of the National
Society —that he had called ON Joseee LAB-1
casrve, requesting his advice and assistance in the
establishment of a school in the Ward of Crip:
plegate, which he intended at his own expence;
but Mr. LtNCASTER pressed him not to think of it in
that way, as the expence of edw*ting 100 children
would be equal to 1000, and therefore recommended a
Meeting of the inhabitants of the Ward and Neigh.
bourhood ; that he acquiesced in that recommenda-
tion, and introduced Mr. LANCASTER into the IVard
to see if a proper place could be found for the deli-
very of a public Lecture by him ; that an applicui
tion was therefore made to the Master of the Brewers'
Company for the use of the Hall, situate in the Watd
of Cripplegate, and that such Lecture had been de-
ferred only in consequence of Mr. LANCASTER'S jour-
ney into the West of Ragland, and his subsequent
visit to Ireland. And that as the absence of Mr.
LaNcasesa had been so long protracted,and as, from
the extension of his sphere of esefidness, his return
was yet uncertain, he had thought that further
delay was improper, and the Meeting had been con-
sequently convened, with the concurrence of Gentle-
taco belonging to different religious denominations,
and entertaining different political principles. .
