RELIGIOUS AND PHILANTHROPIC
INTELLIGENCE.

Sunday School Union.-At the Annual Meeting of this Institution, on Wednesday, May 9th, the Report being read, stated that the Committee, alarmed at the consequences of Mr. Brougham's Bill, had appointed a Sub-committee to watch its progress-that they called a general Meeting of Sunday School Teachers, who all agreed in deprecating the measure, as calculated to injure the Sunday Schools.

Many of the Unions also held separate Meetings, and adopted resolutions against this bill, and instituted investigations which (says the Report) satisfactorily shew the great inaccuracy of the Parliamentary Reports, the data on which Mr. Brougham has founded his proposed legislative enactments. The following is a brief summary of the returns received from the different Unions and Reporting Societies:

Blackburn Independent Academy.-The fifth Annual Meeting of the friends of this Institution was held at Blackburn on the 27th and 28th of June. On the 27th, Mr. Coombs, of Salford, delivered an appropriate discourse from Jer. xxxiii. 22. Next morning, at an early hour, the examination of the students commenced at the Academy House in the presence of the Committee and other friends of the Institution, Dr. Clunie, of Leaf Square Academy, in the Chair, and continued till two in the afternoon; after which, the Committee proceeded to the ordinary business of the Institution. The course of examination was conducted in the same order with that which was adopted last year, and was highly creditable to the diligence and talents of the students. In the evening, two of the senior students, delivered discourses at Mr. Fletcher's chapel: Mr. Birch, "On the commission given by Christ to his Apostles;" and Mr. Wild, "On the character of the Apostle Paul, as illustrative of that commission." In the course of the last year, four students have completed their Academical terms, and are now settled as follows:-Mr.Carnson, at Preston; Mr. Burdekin, at Stone; Mr. Robinson, at Cratfield; and Mr. Stowell, at North Shields. Since their removal, three students have been finally received on the foundation, and two have been admitted on probation. Cheshunt College.-On Thursday August 23, was celebrated the 29th Anniversary of the opening of Cheshunt College. Two of the senior Students delivered orations: viz. Mr. Lacy, on Christ as the Rock of Ages; and Mr. Wood, on the Spirit as represented by living waters. The Rev. Dr. Waugh preached a most impressive sermon from Phil. i. 18. "What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice." A large party dined together; after dinner, several Ministers addressed the company; and Dr. Waugh was unanimously solicited to favour the public with his discourse. The buildings recently erected for the accommodation of twenty Students are now completed. To the benevolence of the religious public the Trustees of the Institution appeal, to enable them to defray the increasing expense which must necessarily be incurred by the proposed increase of Students. The Annual Meeting of Ministers of the Countess of Huntingdon's connexion was held on the preceding day at Spa Fields Chapel, The

Rev. T. Young, of Margate, preached a most appropriate sermon on Eph. iv. 3. Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace,” which all his brethren present have requested him to publish.

Naval and Military Bible Society.—We earnestly call the attention of the religious public, to this excellent and peculiarly national Institution. We think, however, too highly at once, of the patriotism and the Christianity of our readers to suppose that any arguments can be necessary to excite an interest in its behalf, and to secure such a continuance of support, never better merited, as may enable the Committee to keep pace with the increased demands, which continue to be received for supplying Sailors and Soldiers in his Majesty's Service, with the Holy Scriptures, beyond the simple statement of facts, with which we have been furnished.-Such, we regret then to learn from its officers, is the present state of the Society's Funds, that although the debt reported at the last General Meeting has been considerably reduced, there is reason to apprehend that there will be no balance in the Treasurer's hands prior to the Anniversary, unless some timely resources in Providence are afforded, towards providing for the future supplies of the Sacred Volume, in answer to the numerous urgent applications from several home and foreign stations, which hitherto, for want of the necessary means, have not been complied with. It is worthy of remark, that during the last year, 10,142 Copies of the Word of God have been supplied, chiefly to individual Sailors and Soldiers in his Majesty's Service; which, with the exception of the years 1816 and 1817, when the British Army in France was so amply furnished with the Holy Scriptures, exceeds the issue of any former year since the formation of the Society in 1780.

Calutta School Society.-On the 25th January 1820, the annual examination of the head pupils of this Institution took place. The examination consisted of two parts: First, of the Hindoo boys educated in the indigenous schools, that is, the schools under native masters, in which the boys pay for their own instruction; and secondly, those whose education is defrayed by the School Society. Of the former class there are 86 schools in different parts of Calcutta; the total number of boys exceeds 2,800. They were divided into four sections: the first was examined in reading; the second in general geography, &c.; the third in spelling; the fourth in arithmetic. Specimens of their writings were also exhibited. The elder pupils, educated at the Hindoo College, were next examined in English;—and the first class in miscellaneous questions in geography, astronomy, and natural philosophy; when the readiness and accuracy of their answers surprised and gratified every one present. The three lower classes were examined in reading, arithmetic, &c. in all which they afforded much satisfaction. The Meeting was closed by an examination of a number of Bengalee girls, belonging to a school instituted by the Juvenile Society for the establishment and support of Female Bengalee Schools. The knowledge of the difficulties which existed in getting Bengalee girls under instruction, with the presence of so many (upwards of 20,) and the encouraging progress of those who were examined, added much to the interest of the Meeting. The expenditure of the Society far exceeds its income.

Society for the Relief of Aged and Infirm Dissenting Ministers.-The Annual Meeting of this Society was held on May 29, at the King's
