    The chief people therefore of the county may be considered as the supporters of the plan for educating the poor , accord ing to their first resolution 4 < in the principles of the establishment , and in schools for such purpose formed on Dr . Bell ' s system . " This society by another resolution connects itself with

    theAutijiationalSociety , to which an account of the state and progress of the Dorset society is to be annually transmitted by the president . Thus the Bellian system will have a fair trial in Dorsetshire ^ where we trust our friends will not be inactive ; and indeed we have not the least doubt , that the better education

    that is given to the poor , the greater success we shall have in instructing them in the prinefpies of Christianity ; and whatever anti-scriptural terms they liave learned by rote in their schools

    will easily be erased from their memory or at least cease to have any impress ion on their minds , when they-come to compare the three creeds in their prayerfrook with the simple and easy faith of the gospels .

    rn London the An ti-national Society has opened a school on Hblborn Hirl , and are preparing another in Baldwin ' s Oardens , Grays Inn i * ane , as the central school . They do not intend to open any more in the metropolis , being of opinion that their funds would be exliausted in partial efforts , and that it

    -would be more adyiseable for parishes either separately or in unison with others to provide schools for themselves , which if constituted on the system of exclusion are to'be considered as parts of ihe . genexal Ami-national body . The committee

    "however premise to afford Js £ si $ tance towards the building of these schools : "but more particularly in providing proper persons to inspect them , or in train-Ing persons for that purpose , " vVe are Jtiot surprised at these resolutions , which Mfranifest the first falling off from their original plan , —

    requisition for d meetmg , for a corn pi 1-mentary address to the Prince Regent ; and , in consequence , either themselves , or their more injudicious friends , issued papers , in which were severe reflections on the C tholics , and insinuations af the danger threatening us by a Pope Buonaparte . These were answered With

    asperity by papers on the opposite side of the question , and the appearance of things seems to have produced a wavering in the councils of the agitators of this unfortunate meeting . People , from all sides , crowded into the town , where they learned that the meeting was put off , but , as might be expected in such a multitude and on such an occasion *

    a not ensued , and the hall of meeting was broken into , and soon presented a scene of devastation . Happily no great mischief was done , indeed not more than the callers of the meeting can easily make up out of their own pockets . These individuals met afterwards in

    some other , place ; where they agreed on an address , which was left for si&natores in various parts of the town : but the Prince will take it but as a poor compliment , that an address must be in such a manner smuggled ; and , if the ministers did not devise the original sthdme , they will xiat thank the planners *> f it for their officiousness .

    The East India Company has applied for a renewal of its charter , andhas also published a correspondence with ministers on the subject , by which it appears , that the public is likely to be more consulted than it has been , and the strange anomaly O ^ foreigners enjoying an

    intercourse with th « east , frpm which our own countrymen are excluded , will be set aside . The state pf India is unparalleled in history . A company oft merchants , from being mere traders , has taken possession of immense territories : but their right to trade depends on charter , and , consequently , their whole aur

    thority will cease on the tKxpiration of thdt charter . To whom then Would th ^ tcrritories acq uired l ? y t hciki under the charter bejon ^ gr ? evidently to the sovereign of this country ; for a subject cannot possess idominion exckxsively of

    him . Hence it fgrecomes a matter of great political prudence , if a tifavr cfaartcr s | wiuM > tre ^ giianteScU tp make ; pro per regulations rospectixiK tjic cothm ^ rcial cdncerut 6 f ' the p ropitctqirs t ^ f . kildia stpeky « ad ^ he imaaasmm to b&m # rmcd
