exertion to insure Mr Taunton appears to be the favourite at present at the Cathedral and that the Children educated in the Diocesan and the different Schools connection with the National Society should attend the sight was truly gratifying there were upwards of 13C0 children assembled together The order attention and reguaritv which were exhibited in the conduct of this interesting gruupe was one proof perhaps not the least good effect of what has resulted from Dr system of education Two of the Choristers sung an Anthem from the IStli hereivithni shrill a voting mao cleanse his ways' xc most delightfully 'The service was audibly anil impressively read by the IVecentor the Rev Mr Crus and the Rev Dr ll indolpb one of the Prebendaries preached a most nppropriatc Sermon on a text from

friends and subscribers to the institution adjourned to (he Ci'tpter-hnuso to hear the Reports read by the Secretaries of the different Societies togither with an account of their funds itelhc The Right Rev The Bisiior presided who opened the business of the meeting in words as nearly as we could collect to the following purport Me said that he should not do justice to his feelings if in opening the business of the day he did not express the giatifica-tion which he hail derived from the scene they had just witnessed and congratulate the cling on this success ol their first attempt to assemble the children Iroin the different National Schools in Bristol and us vicinity They might have expected that like most first attempts it would have been attended only with partial success that some disorder and confusion would have arisen for which they would have been prepared to make due allowance But in the present instance no such allot-atice was necessary: all had Iwen regular and decorous Tins doubtless was principally owing to the excellent arrangements made by his Freud the Dean anl by ihe other gentlemen who had kindly undertaken to direct the proceedings of the morning but it was also partly to he ascrilicd to the habits of discipline and good order which the children had acquired hy their attendance at the National Schools ai as it afforded a irikmg proof if the beneficial effects produced by the Sch ols so it ought to operate upon all present as a powerful inducement to continued and increased exertion in their support 1 he Bishop procei-ded to say that he must beg leave further to trespass up the attention of the Meeting while he offered a few observations suggested by the proceedings of the day Among the charges which had been brought against the Clergy of the F-stab Iishcd Church (and all present knew that those charges wen stif ficiently numerous) it had been said that they were unfriendly to the general education of the people It required no small share of hardihood to make this charg at a time when four-filths of the clergy (he believed that he spoke within compass in mentioning that proportion) were contributing their money or their laliour or lioih to the support of schools for the education of the poor He alluded to the fait not with the view of claiming anv merit to the clergy on that account (they were only discharging their duly of which the religious instruction of the younger members of their ff ick formed an appointed and most important part) but for the purpose of shewing that the adversaries of the Church were less so-heitous respecting the truth than the number of their accusations Perhaps however when if was said that the Clergy were unfriendly the general education of the people the meaning may be that thi were unfriendly to certain schemes which had been for the accomplishment of that object To the charge so limited they should without hesitation plead guilty They were convinced that unless a system of education had Religion for its hash unle it was addressed not merely to the intellectual facultiesbutalso the moral nature of man there could be no securi that he would not pervert the knowledge which lie might acquire to his own in jury and to hat of society 'They therefore did object and must continue to object to any scheme which proceeded upon i he principle that provided a child was taught tn read and write it was not material how by whom he was put in possession of that knowledge Upon this principle it was immaterial whether the first book which was put into the hands of the child the book from which he was to acquire the elements of reading was one of thtisein the List calculated to form in him habits of piety and goodness or one of the licentious publications which as appeared from recent investigations tio often firmed a part of the furniture of an I rish cottage 'The present was not the proper ineot for entering upon the interesting quest ion residing the connexion between intellectual and mil improvement between civilization and We might admit that the very reception of Christianity implied a certain degree of civilization in him who received it that its sublime truths and exquisite morality could find no access to the mind of an untutored savage- But it by no means followed that as individuals or nations advanced in civilization a corresponding improvement took place in their moral character In France Int fore the revolution there was no want of science no want of literature no want of those arts and refinements the possession of which is supposed to constitute the difference between civilised and uncivilised nations But virtue was wanting and we know the result The history of that cventlul period afforded melancholy proof that a Philosopher may be as destitute of every feeling of humanity as little under the restraint of principle and conscience as the rudest Barbarian It was Religion alone which could change the corrupt nature of man Civilization only varied the forms under which that corrupt nature displayed itself It might be said that he (the Bishop) was a prejudiced person nor did he suppisc that his mind any more than the minds of others was entirely free from bias Yet he felt what he conceived to be a reasonable conviction that among the various schemes which had been devised for ameliorating the condition of the people two in the formation of which the Clergy of the Established Church had zealously co-operated less ambitious and pretending than some others would be proved by experience to be inferior to none in real utility He alluded to the institutions of Saving Banks and of National Schools of which the former enabled the poor man to turn his earnings the latter his time to the nest account the combined operation of both was to generate in him habits of sobriety frugality and foresight The leisure hour of the labourer and artisan were those in which they were exposed to the greatest danger: and the greatest benefit which could be conferred upon them was to furnish them with themransof passing lh se hours innocently and usefully All who heard him would remember in the of one who was himself a melancholy instance that there was no neccs-ary connection between intellectual and moral excellence a Poem in which the Cottager was described after the labours of the day were done as reading the Sacred Volumes to his assembled family unfolding to them its Saving Truths and guiding their feet into the path which leads to Heaven This was the mode in which the Clergy wished that the leisure hours of the labourer and artisan should be employed this was the picture they ished to realise being convinced that should they succeed in realising it they should do more towards promoting the real interests of the poor more towards securing the permanent prosperity and happiness of their country than they who represent them as men of bigotted temper and narrow views will ever accomplish by Institutions fur what is termed the Scientific Education of the Not that the Clergy objected to the instruction of the mechanic and artisan in those branches of natural and mechanical philosophy wh'ch are connected with their respective occupations but to the principle of substituting scientific or literary acquirement in the place moral imrovement as the ultimate object of education 'Hie Bishop concluded with observing that at a time when the Clergy were held up as using their utmost endeavours to obstruct the march of the human intellect it became necessary for them to show nut for the purpose of assuming met it but in self-defence that they were exerting themselves less ostentatiously perhaps but not less zealously or effectually than others to ameliorate the general condition of the People The Report of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge was then read by the Rev ltouch the Secretary a part of which alluded to a small debt which had sometime impeded the exertions and wishes of th- So iety to distribute more of its excellent books and tracts than it had been enabled to do which difficulty we believe was removed by several gentlemen instantly stepping forward with the Bishop at their head to contribute their quotas to its discharge 'This timely occurrence it is expected will enable sub-committee to mal arrangements in the course of the year to extend the benefit of the institution and the Very Rev the Dean announced an extension which had already taken place hy which books might now be had on application to the Muster at the Diocesan School where the Society's Depository is placed every day in the week except Saturday and Sunday between the hours of twelve and The Report from the Society for the Propagation of the Gosel in Foreign Ports was road hv the Rev Knight it wa long and interesting as it entered into some very pleating particulars of the progress which the Missionaries in Canada and other places were making in the dissemination of Christianity Churches and Schools were erecting in numerous places and the Society we think he said had now no less than 103 Missionaries engaged in its service We lamented to hear that in consequence of the great exertions which the Society had lately made it had been compelled to reduce its funded capital £23000 sum which we hope will speedily be replaced by the contributions of the supporters of this truly useful The Re port from the Diocesan School Committee was read by the Rev A Hellicar It alluded to the successful progress of the Schools and spoke in very flattering terms of the exertions of the ladies who devoted so much of their valuabletimeto its success Upon the whole we never witnessed a more interesting spectacle our only regret was to observe so few of those leading characters amongst us attend whose principles are well known not to be lukewarm in the cause of our Established Church and whose presence would have given tn the meeting that additional support and interest which it so well In a neighbouring city the Mayor and Corporation devote one day in the year to so good a purpose and we have witnessed the great room in
