NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE EDUCATION OF THE POOR, IN THE PRINCIPLES OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. BRIDGEND DISTRICT SCHOOL. THE Annual General Meeting of the Bridgend School was held at that town, on Friday in the last week, and affords us a gratifying subject of notice. Notwithstanding the wetness of the morning, the company present was highly respectable: amongst them were, the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, Lord and Lady Jas. Stuart, Sir John and Lady Nicholl and family, Mrs. and Miss Grant, of Gnoll Castle, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Knight, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Harding and family, the Misses Talbot, Rickards, Bennet, &c. Major Mackworth, Rev. Mr. Hancorne, Rev. Mr. J. Traberne, Rev. Mr. Robert Knight, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, Mr. Smith, of Newhouse, Mr. Verity, &c. &c. An excellent sermon on the occasion preached by the Rev. T. Davies, Rector of St. Nicholas, and a liberal collection (upwards of 321.) was made at the Church, many persons who were prevented attending having sent donations. The children was were then conducted to the new schoolrooms, just erected, and capable of containing nearly three hundred children. Those present (above two hundred) were publicly examined, and their progress was very satisfactory.-They were then regaled with a plentiful dinner in the Town Hall. The whole exhibition was highly interesting. The following Report from the Managing Committee to the General Meeting was read, and ordered to be entered on the minutes : REPORT. The transactions of the past year furnish the Committee with a very gratifying subject for their Annual Report to the General Meeting of this Institution now assembled. It will be recollected, that in October, 1822, certain resolutions were circulated among the subscribers and others connected with the neighbourhood, setting forth the great advantages which the lower classes had derived from these schools, while, from the precarious tenure of the school-rooms, and the death or removal of a large proportion of the original subscribers, great risk existed that the highly valuable blessing of religions and useful education would be lost to the rising generation of a very numerous part of the community, unless by great exertions sufficient funds could be raised for the building of new school-rooms: but, on the other hand, if by a successful effort, that object could be accomplished, a prospect would be afforded both of extending the benefits REMEMBRANCER, No. 71. of the institution, and of rendering them more permanent.-In the Report of last year, the incipient success of those resolutions, and further details of the proposed measures, were stated to the General Meeting. Hopes were at the same time expressed of final success:-those hopes have since been completely realized-the funds have been raised-the school-rooms have been built, and are now occupiedthe number of children has been greatly increased, there being already admitted 131 girls and 82 boys, making together 213, notwithstanding the school for boys was discontinued from Christmas last until the new rooms were finished.-The sum raised by donations amounted to 2001. 178.* besides the liberal present of the site by Mrs. Powell; and a grant of 2001. was obtained from the National Society. The building (which has been erected in the simplest and least expensive mode, consistently with its being substantial) has cost including the fittings up, the sum of 446l. 9s. 5d. Some few additional donations are still expected, possibly sufficient to make up the deficiency of their amount to meet the cost incurred, without breaking in upon the annual subscriptions, which are barely adequate to answer the annual expondituret.-The Committee, however, cannot help expressing a further hope, that the annual subscription will not only be continued to its present amount, but will be increased by new subscribers, or (if necessary) by enlarged subscriptions ‡-since, surely, no person in any manner connected with the neighbourhood, and possessed of The Donors:-Sir J. Nicholl, 201.; Dr. Arnold, 51.; C. Franches, Esq. 51.; Bishop of Landaff, 201.; Mrs. Van Mildart, 31.; Lord Clarendon, 10l.; Lord and Lady Adare, 301.; Rev. J. Harding, 51.; Rev. T.

MEETING OF THE BOMBAY EDUCATION SOCIETY. ON Wednesday last the Annual General Meeting of the Bombay Education Society was held in St. Thomas's Church, at which the Hon. the Governor, the President of the Society, took the Chair. The Meeting was attended by Mrs. Warden, Lady West, and most of the Ladies Directresses, by the Hon. Sir Chas. Colville, Mr. Warden, Sir Edward West, Mr. Meriton, and others of the principal residents in Bombay. The business of the day commenced with the examination of the children of the two Central Schools, in which the proficiency displayed gave general satisfaction to the Meeting. The medals annually allotted to the most deserving scholars, and some prize books were then presented to the boys by the Hon. the Governor, and to the girls by Lady West. The general appearance of the pupils received the marked approbation of the Visitors. The Report having been presented, and some parts of it read by the Secretary, a Resolution was passed, approving of it, and ordering it to be printed and distributed to the members of the Society, Several Resolutions were then moved by the principal persons present, expressing the thanks of the Society to the persons from whom the Institution had derived assistance during the year, and especially to the Ladies Patronesses and Directresses, for their superintendence of the Girls School, and to the Venerable the Archdeacon, the Clergy, and other Members of the Managing Committee. The usual business being thus disposed of to the satisfaction of all who were present, the subject of the buildings proposed to be erected for the accommodation of the two schools was introduced by the Archdeacon, who explained to the Meeting the views and proceedings of the Managing Committee respecting it. The Meeting had to regret the absence, occasioned by a domestic calamity, of the Engineer, who has, with great pains and assiduity, endeavoured to meet the wishes of the Society. There was, however, exhibited a sketch of a plan, which is calcu lated to give ample accommodation for the numbers for which the buildings are desired, and which received the approbation of the several persons who examined it. When this subject was under consideration, while it was admitted by every one present that the accommodation which is now afforded for the Boys School, is totally inadequate, and that no suitable spot of ground can be obtained for building within the Fort; some discussion took place respecting inconveniences apprehended from moving the Girls School into the country; and a question arose, as to whether, or not, the Resolution of a special General Meeting held in the month of September last, approving of the removal of both schools, was to be considered final. This having been determined in the affirmative, the Society, it appears, will avail themselves of the grant made by Government of a piece of ground at Byculla,affording ample space for both schools, and possessing every advantage in point of healthiness: and, provided a plan and estimate be finally arranged, with every assurance attainable that the expense will come within the means of the Society, the work will proceed under the direction of the Building Committee, who were instructed to consult the Ladies Directresses respecting the accommodation of the Girls School. We trust that all the friends of the Insti tution will join in giving their cheerful support to the determination which has been adopted, and cordially assist in carrying on a measure which has been judged upon the whole most advantageous to the charity.— Bombay Gazette, April 14, 1824.
