EMI . amid the din of politica and the excite ment of a dissolution there is something refreshing in sock a seen as that presented hot week at the opening of the new St. Thomas' Charter-horn fiehooli. The interest in the Chinese question will, justly or unjustly, paw away like the interest in some throe.lolume novel of the day i but the condi ; tiles of our poor population—our Bedouins of the —4lmb—will continually force itself upon na whether IN will or Dot. The attempt to " shove by" the Msial problems of the day is worse than idle. The desartions of modern society, the collection of ::01111 worse of human beings, cannot be ignored. The min or do Ilimilii. mad =fed ore upon ns ; amp are wait oar gates, and must be dealt Ma. It is so lib to ignore their preen= as it 111.11061 have tom our the Roman Provincials , to tie preens* of the Ooths and Vandals. Like the mei of Hydra they spring up at our feet. -, It is hipamllie be shut the door against than, for - they haw sandy taken possession. It was a serioss problem it the great statesmen of Rucker:Tx how to prosont an Morin Morton in the population of Ls lea. That population has so enormously in ' enema in our day that, unless we exert ourselves to educate and civilise the masses, we must be con test to accept all the portentous consequences which . always attend the neglect of plain duty. It is idle to pretend ignorance. The results of leaving human beings to live and die without an effort to soften their hearts or to owners the bitter cup of poverty and toil are not a whit loss disastrous than the results of leaving them to perish without a morsel of food. The imperious demands bi the belly have for ages been obeyed even by the most despotic rulers—the no Ism urgent claims of the mind will, union we take bead, vindicate for themselves a hearing in ways not a little sad. _ . . There was something striking in the scene on Thursday last at these Charterhosse schools. The district in which they are erected is peopled by the lowest cleat. Twelve yams sip it was a wilderness into which scarcely ray miskwary bad penetrated. The inhabitants mit ke the most part of people who get their liesibrod in the streets; few of them rising above the mall retail dealer, and utterly incapable hem *eh own re ammo of instituting eellgiene end • educational estabkissmts for tbsmkes.

In this entitate district, as we have said, there' twelve years ago no schools whatever. The beginnings were mall at ant; a few children were collected ig the drifted shed of a blacksmith. This shed was men *mad iasufncient, and a fair parochial school was built. This, too, was soon celled to overflowing, and school amemmodation was provided for 1,400 children in good sesstaatial buildings secured for the purpose of education for ever. The cost of these buildings was as lee than 10,0001., the number of scholars 1,771. But the most remarkable fact connected with theme schools of Mr. Rooms and his friends is this, that they are self-eseppeetiag. These are no mere pauper schools. Though the children are drawn from the poor and working climes their parents pay for their education. The rate of payment varies from 2d. per week to U. per quarter, the total sum paid in scholars, flea amounting to 9001. Indeed, tinier we are mis lambed, although at the commencement two scales were axed, the parents placed their children on the mom expensive scale by preference, in order to in sure them the benefits of education. Thm, es Mr. llama maid in his address to Prince Auxin*, we Lee dose more than build schools and teach children.

A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, sad the or Lallotiovann meeting separated. WARDS. At a meeting of the leading conservatives of Manchester, held on Friday (Mr. Ames Crossley in the chair), it wee resolved—" That whilst this meeting does not consider that the general policy of the conservative party in this city is involved in the course which certain individual members, acting under exceptionable circumstanced!, have thought it proper to adopt in reference to the present conte►t, this meet ing is of opinion that it Is not desirable for the conservative party, as such, to pledge itself at present to any course of action.,• we have taught parents to nip the wort and to make great efforts to help it. Airtime, ALUM himself, in hie admirable address, observed: " The means which you have adopted to affect your work of benevolence appear no less deserving of commendation than the object itself. You have not been content with the bare attempt to force perhaps upon unwilling recipients a boon, the value of which might not be appreciated; bat you have wisely sought to work upon the convictions and natural feelings of the parents of the children you wished to benefit, by extending your awi dams to those who, by a mall contribution out of their hardly won earnings, have proved that they are awake to a sense of the vast im portance it is to their offspring that the meansof being fitted to pass successfully through life, and,by honest industry, to better their worldly condition, should be brought within their reach." Nor is this aIL They not only elevate the parents and educate the children, but they do so on the most liberal prin. cipkv ; for none are excluded, whatever may be their religious creed. This is surely a great boon. Differences comparatively trifling are merged, and in St. Thomas Charterhouse, under • clergyman of the r „a Church of England, it is proved to be a possible thing to conduct an admirable system of eduction without sectarian pardon. Such a fact seems to prove that, even in these days, some general scheme of education is not quite hopeless. The schools which we have just described having met with so much success, and the number of appli cant still increasing, it was found necessary to make additions to them. It was determined therefore to erect schools, of such size and completeness, and to maintain them in such thorough efficiency, as would secure even to the poorest em good en education as can be brought within the reach of any : and as Mr. Roores says-- though no compulsion will be used to give religious instruction to which parents object—our purpose is _ to - J make the children Christians, and to fit them to do their duty in that state of life to which it has pleased 000 to call them. Having, therefore, represented the wild state of the children to the Lord President of the Council of Education, the Committee made an extraordinary grant of two-thirds of the expenses of erecting the new buildings. These additional schools, erected at a coat of 8,6001., and capable of accommodating 1,000 children, were the schools which were opened last Thursday under the auspices of Prince ALBERT and the Prince of WALES. Thus the total sum expended in school buildings in this district amounts to more than 18,0001., and there is accommodation for 2,500 scholars. To these schools the poorest class will be admitted for a penny a week—though the demand is made more fee the purpose of tasting the reality of the interest which the parents take in their children" welfare than for any other purpose. Henceforth all classes in the once benighted neighbourhood of these schools will have the benefit of a sound education. From a deserted blacksmith's shed to school buildings erected at a oat of 18,0001. is a marvellous transformation. The parable of the grain of mus tard seed was not inapplicable on such an occasion. But although His Royal Highness was right when he said that the history of these schools was a striking example of the divine With that the prin ciple of good awe sown was not destined to be dor mant, still he was no lees just in eulogizing that energy and self-sacrifice which have enabled Mr. ROGERS, by great personal SIICERIONI, to achieve those mag nificent moults which ws have endeavoured to de scribe.

Mr. Meteoric Roza said they had worked moot earnestly for Mr. Lowe, but at the last hour he had thrown them upon their Dianeends. After anxious deliberation, in which every member of the executive committee took part, they decided that there was one man for the present emergency, end that man weer Mr. Turner. Iln (Mr. Knee) could hem evidence, alter being twelve yeas ooeocistod with him, that there was no man who had devoted more time and money than he had to further the intermits of thin city, and he had great pleasure in seconding the motion. Mr. OLIVER II ev woo n, in eupporting the motion, said he felt he wee MI doing that which they, by their acclama tion. bad alms y detailed. The CHAIRMAN, in imbedding the resolution, mid they were in the position that one active hour was worth two talking hours. If Mr. Turner had acceded to the request of his friends, his name would have been before the doctors long ago. He had now seceded to their earneet wishes in a moment of difficulty, and contrary to his own inclinations, and that constituted a double claim upon their gratitude. He felt persuaded that Mr. Turner would never disgrace them, and therefore he had mast pleasure in putting the motion. The motion was then put, and all but unanimously carried, amidst vociferous cheering. Mr. Tv amen then 'dammed tiro meeting. He had no wish to intrude himself upon the Manchester community, but they would naturally wish to know something about him. He came Into Manchester, in 1919, as poor ayouth as any in the town ; but he wee of respectable family. His fat t had become insolvent, and he himself, after strug gling in vain to retrieve the loudness, also became insol vent. He had wince, however, paid all his debts—(cheep) —and be had risen by honourable conduct and industry. If it was the decided opinion of the majority of the electors that the present nienibers should to returned again, he should not be disappointed ; but he believed they did not represent the feelings of the great majority of the electors.

He did not think Mr. Gibson was a valuable member.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (}MOM (AM OWN COIIRESPONDLNT.) PARIS, SUNDAY ITT-VINO. The Moniteur does not yet publish the budget, but the Presse (confirming my statement of yester day) says it shows a surplus of twenty-five millions. The Patric alludes to the fact of a surplus, but without mentioning the amount. I have little doubt that twenty-five minions is the exact sum, but it will be found to include an item of five millions, allotted to paying off a part of the state debt to the Bank, which appears contrary to the usual practice under the head of expenditure. The surplus, therefore, in ono point of view, may be said to be only twenty millions, but sub stantially it amounts to the larger sum. I have not yet seen any copy of the report accompanying the budget, but it will be found to contain the follow ing passage relating to that ticklish subject " sup. plemental credits," which have hitherto so cam pleteiy changed the aspect of budgets presented before the time arrived for comparing estimates with realities : . . ----.--- Doubtless it is searealy permissible to suppose, that the budget of 1868 will be exempt from charge. resulting from unforeseen calls. The natural course of human things, the life and movement of a great people, naturally lead to some such expenses every year. But the strictnesa with which the estimates of the revenue have been made, and even, we may safely say, undervalued., authorises ns to believe that the real resources of 18.58 will suffice to cover not only the expenses provided from the budget, but doe the extra expenditure not now foreseen, and that thus the surplus will be applied to its natural destination, the di minution of the floating debt. Last year, the report of the budget committee of 18.57 called the serious attention of the Emperor's government to the necessity of restricting supple mental credits, and confining them to rare and exceptional eases and moderate amounts. The decree of Nov. 10, 18.56, has shown the country that the Emperor, in his wisdom, bad foreseen this danger, and desired to avert it. The Pram says, in its weekly commercial review : - - • - • Business has boon rather dull throughout the week. A few provincial travellers have made purchased of "Paris articles," but the movement is as yet but trilling. It is hoped that within the first fortnight of mat SIM& a decisive activity will be perceptible. Retail sales have been pretty good in nouveau:is. The mild weather has led to purchases of spring patterns already. Reports from the provinces are not uniform. From Elbeuf, Tourcoing, and itouboix, they are pretty good, but &deices from Lyons and St. Etienne are not astisiactory. Badness in those town, japan• lyaed from several causes. People are anxiously inquiring tor the earliest indications of the coming silk crop. Fairs are already entertained that it may be as bed as the last, but manufacturers will not yet resign themselves to buy any great quantity of the raw material at the present high prices. Complaints are made of the absence of orders from America. The merchants of New York are frightened at the dearness of tissues. Moreonr, there is a large quantity of foreign tissues in the American market, which go off slowly an account of their inferior quality, and yet they check the demand for French menu- Lectures. It is not surprising, moreover, that foreigners should hesitate to buy, when we madder that silks are from thirty to thirty-five per cent. dearer than last year.

The budget for 1858 was presented to the Corps Legialatif this afternoon. I understand that it makes out a surplus of 25 millions, which sum is to be ap plied pro tanto (and it will go but a little way in deed) in reduction of the floating debt. The report on the budget estimates the product of the new tax at 14 millions. The Empe c orresided to-day at a sort of council war, composed of all the marshals of France now in Pans an several general officers. The eventalli ties of hostile operations in Algeria and China were brought upon the tapir. Prince Napoleon attended the council. At the Bourse the Rente opened very firm, at a slight advance on yesterday's prices, but business was not animated, and some heavy sales made after the rfponse des petites primes produced a fall. A considerable struggle took place at the turning point of 71, but at last that figure was fairly abandoned, and the closing prices were 70.70 for cash, and 70.90 for account, the fall in each case being 15e Mobilier, after having risen 10f., gave way, and closed 2.50 lower than yesterday. There was a good deal of fluctuation in the railway market. The fusion between the Lyons and Mediterranean Com panies continues to be talked of, but supposing the respective directors to be quite agreed among thaw selves as to the terms, whichis not altogether certain, it seems that the finance minister insists upon as- twin conditions, which raise difficulties. The Medi terranean shares rose rapidly in the morning, and were less influenced than other securities by the reaction which subsequently took place in the ltente—they closed 25L higher. Lyons rose 10d. The closing quotations of the other lilies were nearly the same as those of yesterday. The funeral of Midame la hlarechale Reille, the daughter of Marshal Massena, took place to-day IS Pere la Chaise. All the marshals of France now in Paris were present.
