He said he bad served three years on the schools commission, and be agreed with some of the ablest and most practical men in England t farmers must I begin the education of their chi! * in. life in order England to make it effectual. They co peekto make up by six or twelve months' teach the best school ever founded in England for the de4chincies of early education. With respect to several mattea‘agecting the agricultural interest, he had written to Eartiltertesoue suggesting the establishment of some central 'aithiirity connected with government for the special consideration of the farmers' i tontines, which in the various government office. had I hitherto been nobody's business. The burdens en Lai with respect to rates demanded Immediate attention, but he advised them not to be too sanguine in their expeeta,- tions as to what they could throw off the land as • whole , end place upon the moneyed interests of the count/y.l They must show the remedy for the present unfair state of taxation. The great diffitoilty was in increasing the national taxation without giving up local control.

Various rewards I were grante d to the crews of different lifeboats belonging to the institution, and to those of shoreboats, for saving life from shipwrecks on our coasts. Altogether, the institution this year has contributed to the rescue of 361 lives from various wrecks on our shores, in addition to having saved eight vessels from destruction. Payments amounting to 1.600!. were likewise ordered to be made on various lifeboat eetablishments. The committee expressed I their deep abhorrence and indignation at the attempt re cently made in a distant colony on the life of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, and an earnest hope that his royal highness would soon be re stored to perfect health. A benevolent lady bad given the institution the cost of the Lowestoft lifeboat, through Miss Prince and Mn. Pilgrim, of Brixton. The employee of Messrs. S. Northcote and Co., of St. Paul's-churchyard, having given an entertainment in aid of the lifeboat fund, Mr. It. Frankland had on their behalf forwarded the society a contribution of 271. 10s. 10d.

The Duke of Northumberland presented an additional contribution of 1001. to the institution. The prooesdiso then terminated. Tai REPORTZD MAIitRIAOZ Or MDLLE.

Arreencrrit OF LOLL MONTIZ. —ln his last letter to the Motioned Gazette, Colonel T. W. Knox, of New York, relates the following anecdote about Lola Monies: —" The death, a few weeks ago, of the old ex -Klng of Bavaria, the friend and protector of Lola Monter, has caused a revival of gossip about that noted and notorious woman. You may remember that she died here seven or eight years ago, in a condition bordering on desti tution. The physician who cared for her in her last illness never received pay for his earvioss, and the owner of the little garret where she died had a hill for several weeks' rent that he could not ool lect. The headstone that marks her grave in Greenwood was paid for by one of Lola's acquaintances, and bears the simple inecription. ' Eliza Gilbert,' with her age, which I do nos exactly remember. During her illness a lawyer of this city waited upon her physician, and told him that Lola owned certain real estate in Bavaria, pre sented to her by the King, and whisk she was at full liberty to sell, while if she neglected to sell it the property would revert to tke goverment at her death. They offered two hundred thousand dollars for • the title deeds, cc rather for her signature to certain papers they bad prepared. The or, sufferlag woman took the papers and o ff ered to consider the matter. lime was an opportunity to settle herself comfortably for the remainder of her life, to pay all her indebtednert, and fully compensate all who rendered her service.

Pim namsaimsj THE 0143T0/dB PARLIAMENT. BERLIN, NAY 7. At to-dyes sitting of the Customs Parliament, Our address brought in by National Liberals in veply to the speech from the throne, came on for debate. Herr von Beningsen, the repenter of the committee, supported the address, and Baron Thtingen opposed it. Baron Thungen said that, in the event of danger from without, the South Germans would fight side by side with the North Germans, but the former could not abandon the position in which they had been placed by treaties, ea would be the ease if they acceded to the ad • dress. Herr can Blankenburg warmly advocated that the House should pass to the order of the day, which was opposed by Herr Bluntschli, who main- Woad that the Customs Parliament must declare its Concurrence with the national idea expressed in the speech from the throne. Only enemies of the Confederation could vote for the order of the day. Upon division, it was voted by 186 to 150 that the house pass to the simple order of the day. • EXPLOSION IN BERLIN. - - - MOILER, !kr 7, warm).

The Presse of this evening publishes the follow ing statement characterising it as received from a trustworthy quarter at Berlin : "We understand that Count Von Bismarck, feeling convinced that in view of the claims put forward by Denmark, no immediate agreement upon the North Schleswig question is attainable, will at once address himself to Vienna with the view of arriving at a solution. The Cabinet of Vienna will be made acquainted with the want of success that has attended the negotiations. The Berlin Cabinet intends to state definitively its views as to the territory which it is possible for Prussia to cede without detriment to the national interests of Germany, and to express a hope that Austria will accept the offers made by Prussia to Denmark, as a fulfilment of Art. 5 of the treaty of Prague. The French Cabinet is also to be put in possession of the intentions of the Prussian go vernment. There are signs that Prussia is ear nestly seeking to obtain guarantees for peace by an approach to Austria." RUMOURED AFFIANCE OF THE PRINCESS LOUISE OF ENGLAND TO THE CROWN PRINCE OF DENMARK.

GLADSTONE'S RESOLUTIONS AND ?Hi 110ITSZ 0? Haring shown that all predictions of evil proved unfounded, and that we ate ones mere in south water, the times goes on to remark that though the resolutions have panted, Mr. Gladatou's fluvjenaory Bill has not the remotest charm of bcooniing law during OIL session. Mr. Aytoun's resolution, insising that no part of the secularised fund, of the frfsh establishment shall be devoted to the Lutheran's of the catholic re ligion, was go ill drawn that it dastard 1 aga , nst the application of any state funds in any way to such an object ; and a lune of otanftudoet ensue I through the asisooneeption to which this last phrase gave rise. Mr. Diarsell, who desmilsed the score as " • quarrel over the plunder," provoked Mr. Bright's wrath, and most un seemly recriminations marked the close of the diatomite. Liberal members clustered about Mr. Ay•oun, besevohiag hint to withdraw or slur ha motion. Mr. Mill was celled to order for turning his beck upon the Chairman in his eagerness to remonstrate with the refractory Sooschinan, and it was probably only owing to the abellisenee of the ministry from taking any part in the division that the resolution, after asst y altesstiens, was Beady rejected. It would have ham mega ist the ersdit bells of the hens and of it, most eminent members if it bad been mood that the chairman should " report progress" after Mr. Gladstone's resolutions tad been agreed to. The Daily .News takes it as obvious that the Maynooth grant and Regius, Domain, which are partial compensations for the injustice whisk the Irish chunk inflicts, prac tically fall with it. The equal application to all sesta of the principle of separatioa from the state now stands upon the record. Mr. Aytoua'a rumlution to disqualify Roman catholic. alone the Daily Hews fe -1 garde as exclusive and Invidious, while Mr. Greene'. amend ment was, to say the least, superfluous. In exprewing its solemn opinion that the protestant establishment of Ireland, the Itegivat Doman, and the grant to Maynooth 'lull be done away with, the present parliament has made its views of ecclesiastical policy clear. It must be left to the next House of Commons, should it sanction the votes and the incipient legislation of tts predecessor, to define the purposes to which the revenues thus placed at I its disposal shall be applied. Meanwhile the situation created by Mr. Disraeli's unworthy clinging to office, and which led to mash language at that which passed between Mr. Bright and Mr. Gladstone on the one side, and Lord J. Manners and Mr. Disraeli on the other, be- I comes almost unendurable. The house, recognising that an end must be put to a perilous crisis, may not wait for the initiative of ministers, but may feel constrained to address her Majesty on another subject than that of the Irish church. Mr. Disraeli is playing a deep and dark game, sad one which may be dangerous nut to himself or his party only. To advise the Queen to veto the intended bill, would, the Post says. be without a precedent since the reign of George 1., sad, in the opinion of the late Mr. Hallam, would be grossly unconstitutional. The Herald has the deepest sympathy with the Premier under his troubles. Never was a statesman badgered, hunted, insulted by his political adversaries as Mr. Disraeli has been ; never before was political hostility embittered by a personal enmity so unscrupulous, so yammer, so malignant, so unworthy of English gentle men. But Mr. Disraeli's assailants have carried this policy too far, and have aroused in his favour all the generous instincts of the English race. The Star describes Mr. Bright's speeeh ea the moat deadly piece of classical denunciation heard in the house for many years, if, indeed, it was ever paralleled. Par liament has now put its hand to the plough, and the Premier has to declare whether the crown or the peers shall be encouraged to frustrate its dislamately declared will. Letting forward to the Tories of the Suspensory nal lithe Commons, the Telegraph obeerrse thsA, in the pro bable event of the measure being thrown out by the upper house, the opposition must determine the difficult question whether they should move a vole of " no confidence," or accept the situation, and wait for the general election. A vote of " no confidence," if carried, would be followed by the resignation of ministers, or by an instant ap peal to the present constituencies. Mr. Disraeli's inflo. epee would probably be exerted in favour of the latter worse of procedure. On the other hand, should the go vernment be allowed to retain aloe, or should it choose to keep power despite successive defeats, the general oleo tion, under the new Reform Acts, might be expected to take place in November next, and parliament to meet towards the end of December. If the opposition think it advisable to facilitate this plan, those best acquainted with the technicalities of the question are of opinion that no difficulties stand in the way to prevent the assembling of the new parliament at the end of the present year. Tal curacß mzrrnwo AT ST. JAMES% HALL Several of our contemporaries this morning return to the meeting of ecclesiastics at St. James's-hell. The Times is amused by the confident assumption of the speakers that, given the state Milli have a church, that church can only be the church of England, and by the whole portrait of that church, aa it was drawn by the pencil of noble and episcopal painters. In truth, England no longer exists as an independent state with legis lative functions and political responsibility ; the state we have to deal with is the United kingdom of Groat Britain and Ireland. We should all know what to say if the Irish declared they could no longer tolerate the establishment of protestant churches in Great Britain, or if the Scotch foiled it impossible any longer to endure the establishment of prelacy south of the Tweed. Had these prelates just awoke from a oen tury's retirement in the Sleepy Hollow. they could not have made greater blunders. For all odesiastical pur poses there is a much wider and deeper gulf between the two British churches than between the Church of England and that of Rome, and this the Time, pro ceeds to illustrate by pointing out that a Scotch Presby terian minister would be obliged to submit to »ordination before adniisaion to an English hoodoo or pulpit, while the ordination of a Roman catholic priest is accepted. The Herald is moved by the remark, of some of the speakers to exclaim anew against the apostacy of Mr. Gladstone. It he and we, it says, live long enough, we may find him thirty years hence in another phase of belief, his old ecoviations returning on him with tenfold strength, all the mischief he could do, done, past, and eons, doing penance for it too late in sackcloth and ashes. Sydney Smith said that he had but one illusion left, and that was the Archbishop of Canterbury. From the Tele. graph even that illusion has gone. The meeting at St. James's-hall has dissipated the last thing left to us in an unromantic and material world. Instead of a great British Mikado veiled from sight—instead of an English Grand llama hid in the recesses of his pale**, we had an Anil biahop of Canterbury transformed into an old gentleman presidingoveran Irish row and " keeping order," Hyberitiee, by the very free use of a big stick. The Daily News observes that in the interest of liters. Owe it is impossible to accept Mr. Disraeli's description and defence of certain defeats of the literary character • bat in the interest of Mr. Disraeli himself and under th e charitable feelings the occasion creates, it is possible to believe them. la the period of Mr. Diwasli's own literary life Bokensisaim was the weakness of scene literary men.

The meting of the Council of the Royal Agricultural Society on Wednesday (Lord Walsaighain in the chair), received tbree deputations from towns anxious to provide a date for the agricultural show of 1869. The first was from Liverpool, and introduced by Mr. Grams, M.P. Its advo cates urged that a met comprising the show ground and trial ground, and consisting of about 150 norm, would be very admirably adapted for the pompom. It wee 'bleat a oils from St. Geor ge 's Hall, which was the centre of Liverpool, and the London and North-Western Rel way would provide a siding, and it was also adjacent to and accessible for persons cowing freer Birkenhead, CU thins, and Wales.

EVANUELICAL ALLIANCE.—Last evening the members and friends of this society held their annual .soiree invEreemaisons'-hall, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's inn -fields, under the presidency of the Earl of Chichester, who on taking the chair, after tea, exhorted the numerous company of ladies and gentlemen present to enter upon the consideration of the vital subjects about to be brought before them in a temper of mind free from a spirit of con troversy. It was of great importance at the present time to present a clear and united testimony bar revealed reli gion, and for the doctrines promulgated pt theßeformation as far as they are based on the Word of God. By previous arrangement, therefore, three addresses were to be delivered with that object. The first address was then given by the Rev. John Stoughton, who dwelt u the obligations resting on this nation, And especially on its Christian churches, to uphold and per petuate the principles of the Protestant Reformation ; the second, by the Rev. Edmund Clay, who urged 'the necessity for a vigorous and united defence of the revdied truths of Christianity " in these days of rationalism tnd Romani:bap tendencies ;" and the thinl by the 11ev. Dr. Octanua 1t inalow, who made some practical . suggestions for, be said, the gu i dance of the friends of Ch ristian union, " regarding the effective counteraction of P a p a l an d sceptical errors, and the extension of sound christian doldrums /waft all assess of the anemunity."
