A meeting was held at Chelmsford, on Monday, to form

an " Essex County Branch of the London I ■incesan Board of Edeeation." The Essex Stqndard says, it was "a splendid assemblage of the piety, in- telligence, beauty, and wealth of the county of Essex.- The Bishop of London presided, and opened the 1,e,i:io,F.s of the day ie " a powerful and impressive speech ; " in which f.e 1..1.1 it down as the paramount duty of Churchmen to educate the rising genera:ion in Church princi- ples. The followin:e may be taken as a specimen of the Bishop's speech, and of the areeteients he addressed to his auditory- " The assemblage he was now addr,ssimmg were members of a church which derived a legitimate succession from the .apostles of the church which Christ founded on a rock, and agminst width the gates of hell shall not prevail; there- fore they could have no doubt as to the tbrce of gospel truth, or of the means of impressing it on the mind. It was therefore their duty, as Christians, to make others Christians as well its themselves ; it seas our duty. as Churchmen, to make them Churchnien—tu bring them within the pale of t!. at church which we believe teaches the Gavel in ell purity, and is foundvd on the precepts laid down by the Apostles teeniselvee—lo accustom them to all the benefits that result from the use of the discipline of the Cd arch, which only requires to be tried in all its fulness to show the team:jou, character of its great principles.
