similar crim « , which has its origin in the basest - ovt-. of gain . The Stock . Exchange were * Jie prosecutors , and at a ^ reat expeuce iu detecting- the fn : ud , and bringing the perpetrators to pub Jit justice . The crime was first imputed to this bod y , aud it is not unusual to hertr very idle and unfounded sarcasms thrown
out against it . In so large a body there will , as iu other large bodies , unworthy individuals be found , but it is idle to make such a charge , in which so many of the members must necessarily be the sufferers ; and the whole contrivance of the fraud in
question » ies with the west , not the east end of the town . The anniversary meeting of what is termed the JSational Society for the Education of Children has been holden , and in it the Archbishop of Canterbury vindicated the propriety of the appellation which it has
assumed . It may be remembered , that we have called in question the propriety of this title , and have considered the society as a sectarian society ; but we hall be very glad to retract cur remarks , provided it can be proved that they have Jaid aside the sectarian sentiments which this
society first insisted upon , and have agreed io act upon the true principles of the gospel . His grace is stated to have said , that the schools patronised by the society were what

the children is a conformity to the ruTes of the school , a ^ oi ! in ^ less than this could be admitted wiihont the production of mu' " diffraction and confusion . Here 'h n the question re .-ts b . tween his grace and us . We called the sch ols se tarian not national schools , because we understood that th < - in

Nov . if this part oi the plan is given up , and the hil- < ren are ducateci from the
scriptures , as d such un criptural words and phrases as the following are not included . nam Iy , Trinity , God the Son , Go *] * h * : Holy Ghost , and the like ,, and nothing is urged offensive to any class of dissenters , we shall unite with iheir most sanguine supporters in wishes for their success . We v * ould have the
question fairly staud , and hope thit some of our readers in town will inquire into the sytsem pursued at Baldwin ' s gardens , of whose mode we have received a very favourable account , and let us know whether it would be consistent for a dissenter to send his children thither .
i . e whether a dissenter ' s child would or not be 'biig d to read or learn any thing out of the prayer book of the established sect , or any other book inculcating the peculiar doctrines of the sect , and whether the teachers do viva voce inculcate th ^ se doctrines on their
scholars The report of the number of schools is very flattering to the institution , and we rejoice in these exertions ; for the children will be taught to read their Bibles , and iu due time nmny of them will ex ; mine for themselves haw far the doctrines of ihe sect established by law mgrec with those established by Christ and his apostles .
