To the young, this visitation is peculiarly addressed,-since neither youth nor beauty, - neither estimable qualities nor amiable manners, neither royal birth nor ornamental acquirements, — neither family affection nor universal esteem, could snatch from the grave the Princess Amelia, at the age of twenty-seven!

Society. At the 13th Anniversary of this Society, held April 22, il ap. peared that there are 38 schools now under their care; which are attended by about 1500 children. The Committee are very desirous of extending the benefits of this Institution to a far greater number of the poor, ignorant, and careless children of Elinborgh, &c.; and, therefore, earnestly solicit the prayers and contributions of all who love the Lord Jesus.

Edinburgh Lancastrian School Society. A Society with this title has lately been instituted, for the purpose of facilitating the invaluable blessing of a good education, by establishing and supporting one or more schools, as may be found necessary, on the plau practised by Mr. Joseph Lancaster, in St. George's Fields, London.

Hibernian Sunday-School Society. -A respectable Society has been formed in Ireland, to promote the establishment, and facilitate the conducting of Sunday Schools in that part of the United Kingdom. They design to procure and disseminate the most approved plans of conduct ing these seminaries, to supply them with spelling-books and copies of the sacred Scriptures at reduced prices, and by contributing to defray the expences of such schools, where necessary, without interfering with their internal regulations; and as to religious instruction, contining themselves solely to the sacred Scrip

tures.

At the head of this laudable institution, we see the names of the Bishop of Kildare, several noble Ladies as Guardians, and a respectable Committee of Ministers and Gentlemen. Subscriptions are received by the Right Hon. David La Touche and Co. Dublin.

We rejoice at the commencement of an Institution so essentially neces sary to the welfare of Ireland; and hope it will meet with the most effectual support.

THE exertions of the Society in Scotiand, for propagating Christian Knowledge, during the past century, it is well known have been attended with the most beneficial effects in the Highlands and Islands. Many thousands of our countrymen have been taught to read the Scriptures, and prepared for occupying important stations in the various departments of society, who, without the educa tion received at Society Schools, must have been entirely excluded from these advantages. By the last Report, which has been published, it appears, that the number of childrea of both sexes annually attending these schools, amounts to nearly 16,000 The revenue of the Society is completely exhausted by the annual expenditure; yet there are many exter sive districis where schools are greatly wanted, to which the Society has it not in their power to extend their aid. With a view to remedy this evi', and to diffuse more widely the benefits of education to the rising generation in the High lands, the Directors of the Society have it in contemplation to bring forward a plan, by which they may be enabled to accomplish this object, without infringing on the funds appropriated to the support of their ordinary establishment. The funds to be raised by a voluntary subscription, and placed under the management of the Society; not to be accumulated, but completely expended every year; and Accounts of Receipts and Disbursements to be regularly published. It is proposed that the teachers shall devote their attention exclusively to teaching children to read: that unmarried persons only shall be employed in this service, which will preclude the necessity of those accommodations which the Society are accustomed to demand for their ordinary teachers. These are a few of the outlines of the Plan, which is not yet sufficiently matured to be laid before the publie; but, it is hoped, it will be prepared in time to be submitted to the General Meeting of the Society.
