In every place - there rise church schools; but where others are nu niorous and- tho Church schools do' not filtr nish ample acenuiniodations . for all the chit dren,,the government committee allow the establishment of additional. schools. The Government contributes certain -propor tion; prObubly near ono half, to the erection of the buildings, and then aids in the sup port of the teachers, reserving the •rightjo inspect, and supervise the schools. ` The . Wesleyans, under this system have I established at Westmiuster,..London, a ,large normal or training school fur teachers, at the head of which is Rev John Scott, a min - of• very superior abilities. This training school enjoys a high reputation, and is pro nounced by the Government inspectors in their reports to bo of a very superior order. Its fine building is wholly free from debt, and its prosperity is annually increasing. The number of schools establiihed under this system is reported at 434, being an in-' Crease of 13 during the year. In them a`ce 52,650 sekolarb, being au increase of 5,497 E. • But the small proportion of . day seholari is seen plainly in the fact that more than eight times as many attend the Sabbath schools. These report 427,814 scholars, being an in crease of 22,046 during the year. A number of interesting speeches were made On the resolutiocs offered and adoPt yed.and a general feeling of delight prevailed in the committee. ; In the deberationi l . Mr Fariner,-Mr . Heald, Mr Kay,and oth er-leading laymen, took a very - acti i part. On Tuesday the Missionary Comm ttee of Review held its Sessions. Thisl is ilitk , largest and generallY the most interesting committee of the conference. It kesented. the appearance of one of our annual confer ences. The report preacoted a whaar of interesting facts, such as thecommedement by Mr Cox in the Chinese lati ring of goverameatal a's- Nools in Madrip=al.4-.. pm ; ergnig the %/overa wing liberty in ,e matter would be ful, Ay that instructions hid been given to protect missicinaries and their property. The report states that the S3ei r ety had received last year 1.119:000, dr about 6575,000, and that now, it was free from a debt which had embarrassedit far_ several ycars. Dr floele, one of tbe Secretaries, gave a very interesting statement of a conversation held with Dr Bunking, who is too feeble to attend, showing his deep anxiety to arrest the movement now looking towards re-open ing 'th.e African slave trade. Dr IH. sta ted that be had received authentic infor • motion that 6000 negroes-were' assembled at ; ago; ready to be transported by French • merchants—that of these 300 Kroornon had signed an agreement, as they thought, to gp to the %boon river, but found that• they had signedin agreement to go to the West Indies fbr eight 'years. : That the Wesley an missionary had'been compelled to leave Lagos on acconniof ill benith some time before, or he might have aided in '(saving i• these poor Teo* from the trap into which they had fallen. ~ He urged the pecossitv of immediately sending a successor, :as' the missibnaries were the only friends of . the negroes there. This scheme, started bythe French Government, for colonizing their West India Islands with African laborers, apprenticed for eight years, is destined;yet to exercise a powerful influence, as I fancy, both for good and evil. '_'lt will be eviL‘ in deceiving the negroes who are induce& to enter into it-- it twill teporarily rrest h e civilizing' process o th e coast of a Africa= it will increase-the power of slavery in , Af-• rice for-a time—And a large proportion of these apprentices will not live ; to see the day of freedom. i On theother nand, it will bring a large number of Africans into con tact with a higher civilization; and if the French Government keep its faith to them ‘,.... ..at im wimularea ny me - ttope Mele vation—it will fill the ialands with ; labor. ing popalation.who will compete with slave labor, and multiply those products now in. sufficient for the world's demand- 7 —will, refl. der it impossible,,by the overwhelming num bers.of the colored population, ever to re setablish slavery!--will,eiercise a powerful influence on contiguous islands and coun tries, which our own southern. States will powerfully feel--"and finally willbsik into Africa, civilized and elevated &borers. But if the French Government sh ld break its faith and establish slivery, then a long lour dark, dreadful night shall envelop • us in its gloom.
