The following statemenc will doubtless be 
highly gratifying to the benevolent friends 
of the lower orders of society. During the 
last eleven months, the period of Miss How- 
ell’s visit to Norwich, three schools have 
been established, in which no fewer than 
two hundred and ninety-four children are 
now educated, and furnished with sufficient 
instruction to become useful and respectable 
members ofthe community. This great im- 
provement commenced with a school for 
forty-eight girls, under the immediate super- 
intencance of the Miss Gurneys; and the 
directors of the charicy schools, struck with 
the superior advantages of the new mode of 
education, adoptediit in their establishment 
also; by which means they were enabled to 
extend its benefits to ane hundred and six 
children, instead of forty, which they had 
before. An example like this could not fail 
of imitation, and accordingly another school, 
containing one hundred and forty children, 
was soon after projected in St. Paul’s church- 
yard, and is now completely arranged. No- 
thing so much evinces the excellence of this. 
Plan of education, as the striking fact that 
it has been eagerly adopted by persons of 
opposite opinions, who have emulated each 
other in spreading its benefits around. ‘The 
Court of Guardians, with a praise-worthy 
attention to the interests of those more 
immediately committed to their care, have 
prepared a room, which will be speedily 
Opened, for the instruction of about fiity 
children, belonging to the workhouse; and 
this is the first attempt with which we 
are acquainted, to provide a moderare but 
. Sufficient education for those who are placed 
in the most abject situation of society. On 
this account we consider this part of tne 
plan as the most important of any, and 
promising the greatest advantages.

fed by Mr. Bell, of Wallington, in this 
county: she was dried so late as the 29th 
of Jast September, and yet, by grass, hay, 
and turnips, exhibited the most myat that 
could well be expected upon so small a 
bone. Mr. Marsters, of Gaywood, shewed 
an excellent tywo-shear Leicester wether, 
which was slaughtered, and weighed 392\bs 
per quarter, with 18lbs." of tallow. mr. 
Coke, of Holkham, sent four south-dowa 
wethers, of which two were shearlings, and 
the other twoshear; the weight of one 
of the shearliags slaughtered was 25lbs.

were such as Mr. Coke always produces, 
very good. 
the premium for at least nine acres of water 
meadows, and one for at least fise acres: 
and two claimants of the premium for 
lucerne. ‘Phese claims were referred to 
judges, to be decided in the course of this 
year. The society ordered 50s. to be paid 
to each of the four meritorious labourers in 
husbandry, certificates of their merit having 
been previously sent to the secretary, uc- 
cording to the direction of the society. To 
George Reader, a cottager of West Tolts, 
for keeping bees, thie society ordered 21. 
At the same meeting it was resolved to 
petition parliament against the bill now 
pending to prohibit the distillation of spi- 
rits trom barley. ‘Che unusual precipitans 
cy with which this bill is carrying throuza 
the house, precludes the society from the 
opportunity of requesting a public meetiag 
upon the occasion, and has induced them 
to send the petition with all the dispaich 
possible to the principal places of the county 
for signature. Phe points upon which this 
petition is grounded, are,—Aist, Vhat the 
necessity which existed at the time when 
the prohibition was first instituted (viz. the 
abundance of sugar in hand) is now don@® 
away; and the Znd, That the badness of 
the seasoa during the last harvest was sucn 
as to prevent the barley crop from being got 
in as it ought: the comscquence is, that 
most of the barley was so much injured, 
that it is unfit for malting, and not sale- 
able, except at such a price as will not tee 
munerate the farmer his expenses of cul 
tivation.
