SPORTING A SPECIAL EDITION of the "REPRESS," esatainiag the malts of the daft Races, Is pub lished every evening daring the Sporting Samoa, at six o'clock. THE speech delivered by Sir (home Gm at the recent meeting of the Northern Association of Mechanics lamitutions, will be read with interest by all who have nal faith in the intellec tual prover, of the people. There is in it a hearty and healthful tone of feeling, which we often pain fully miss in the set declamations of eminent persons called upon without much thought or reflection to assist at sack assemblages es that which lately took place at Merrick. Let to frankly confess that we have oftentimes been disappointed at the smooth sterility of noble and honourable reiteration of threadbare commonplaces about the general ditto. sion of intelligence, and the general tendency Of reading to make people orderly and decent ; and that we have eome times been thoroughly disgusted with the condescending air of intellectual patronage into which learned and scientific orators have been betrayed in addressing their hard-toiling countrymen. If popular instruction were nothing better than an suaiiiary dodge in aid of the police, we should wholly despair of its eventual triumph; and if rank and learning really believed in the power of know ledge to raise men up to the true level of self-respect, they would never venture on their impertinent pla titudes, of all plsoes in the world, at meetings of Mechanics' Institutes. We rejoice to find so mulch of the contrary spirit in the address of the Right Honourable Member for Morpeth. From idiosyn crasies of temper and deportment, Sir GEORG& has not unfrequently been accused of coldness and hauteur. But whatever may be his bearing when in company or collision with his fellow-politicians, no man, we believe, is more beloved in the intercourse of private life, and no man is evidently more capable of entering sympathetically into the working man's way of looking at a working man's question, and of saying out unaffectedly the right and the true thing regarding it. Iho quarter is given by the honourable Baronet to the timid dilettanteiam which mourns over the pre sence of newspapers in a mechanics' reading-room. If. says, with truth, that the daily and weekly press has gradually become a vehicle of conveying to the minds of those who have but a few hones in the week to spend in reading of any sort, the gist of all the most important circumstance', moral and material, that are taking place around them, as well as a good deal of the cream of the current literature of the day. It is • force to talk of this as giving super ficial notions. Society at it' present high-pressure speed could not exist at all if any numerically important proportion of its members were devoted to profound research, contemplation, or study. To do is the groat baai•e+e of life ; and to do one thing thoroughly well, so as to make your bread by it, and bring up your family decently, is the primary duty of a rational man. After this is done he has no time, and seldom either physical or mental energy, left for what may be called learning; and the choice for him, therefore, simply is between having a correct general notion of what the rest et the world is doing, sad saying, and thinking sheet, or of remaining • niers money-grubbing, bread. eating, sod beer-drinking machine, which might me well have no soul at all in it. To tell such • mma, at seven o'clock of a winter's night, that it is hater for him to sit down io a volume of physical geo graphy , mathematics, or Let* than to betake him self to a good work of fiction or a well-edited jour nal, is, in our opinion, worse than woke'. The advice will not, indeed, be taken ; its absurdity and inhumanity an too glaring; but the impression left upon the mind of him who rejects it is mis 'hien= in the extreme. It tends to confirm the d•ngmous impression between elms sad class that " between nt and you there is a great gulf " fixed," and that there is little mutual appreciation or intelligence between the overwrought many and the over fastidious few. The Ex-Minister jostly observes that the cul tivating and humanising power of pare and powerful fiction is • thing quite inestimable. Vicious and vulgar tales are deleterious in their effects, no matter of what class their readers may be. Bat it is es nonsecsioal to esafemid the great and glorious productions of imaginative mind with the tawdry and garish caricatures wines and printed, not to teach but to sell, se it woad be to object to mound books of medicine, bemuse then are to be bad for halt-s-erown or a shilling tee Sam as many thievish or trumpery volumes of some quackery. One of the highest duties of those who direct Me. chanim* Institutions is a ausfal selection of their libraries. Bat we arms very mach with Sir GIORGE GRIT t h at eansrahalogivallis . ' and variety are of more importable than the observ.uiee of any very rigid ride of exclusion. To load the shelves of sorb institutions With ' , WWII/ or demoralising productions would obvlosaly flagrant 'bum of treat ; bat all attempts' to shot mat speculative opinions, or testis the appetite for fres &mamma, must prove to be eimpirioaL Neither would we land say recipe to tho exclusion. of any clam of books on the ground that they fall under the category of light reading. What a toil-vtora man wants is most eases is mental rafreahmeat, sad you ought to afford him the means, within oaf* bet very wide limits, of choosiog what sort of refresh ment he finds most congenial. Give him the habit of reading first, and trust that his taste will gradually gravitate towards reality and truth. If you have not faith enough for this, you are lamb` tampering and trifling with the gravest of social questions, and the odds are that you will aocompliah some little harm. What we have been say ing, has reference to there'd ing and mental culture of adults. In a certain sense principles the very appalls must be applied to the days of tutelage. The reading room is one thing; the school is another. The keen stimulus of dis tinction and of competition does not admit of the desultory habits of reading which in after life are allowable, if not Dummy. We have so often advo cated the system which at length seems about to be generally adopted, of mending the examiners to the districts where youths are trained and taught, from the highest seats of learning we possess, that we need hardly do more than note with satiafaction the high degree of appreciation which that system seems to have met with in the northern counties of the kingdom. We have no doubt that gradually it will become an established part of our whole in tellectual system ; and that its effects will reach far beyond the mere conferring of middle-claas degrees upon a given number of successful stadents. Me chanics' Institutes may not in themselves be the most competent seminaries for preparing youths to pus an academie examination in the exact sciences, or in the dead languages; but they are eminently fitted to awaken, in the first instance, the intellec tual ambition, both of parents and children, and to create a social temperature, in which mental excel lence is likely to be valued as it deserves, and per severing study is likely to be honoured and encou raged even by those who do not themselves share its labours.

(nom ova oU PARIS. THURSDAY ITN:NINO. " Dearth of news " threatens to become a stereo typed phrase as the heading of foreign correspon dence. The Perla journals literally lack the vitality to abuse one another this morning. The Uaive►s allows a truce to MM. Ravin, De la Bedolliere, and Paradol ; but, to keep its hand in, crosses the Chan nel, and sets lance in rest against Henry VIII. and the Reformation. The old cry—" Pillage ! Sacri lege ! Blasphemy !"—meets one's eye every ten lines. In truth the text of the sermon is that " The Re formation was Pillage." On the other hand the &iris saddles ultramontanism with the affair of the Sisters of Charity in Lisbon—easerts, at least, that when all is known it will be found, under the respected guise of the Sisters of Charity, to have engaged in a strife with the civil authority. The writer of the article in question (M. E. de la Bedollidre) defends Freemasonry from the imputation of having any hand in the business, and takes occasion to do honour to that great institution. He says that In Belgium Freemasonry raised to honours the wise and able Inhabiter who so happily reconciled order and liberty. Freemasonry presides over the advance daily made in Pied mont in the path of amendment and reform. In Naples Freemasocry Is • counterpoise to the despotism of the King sad the arbitrary sway of the cardinals. It may even have bars Freemasonry which suggested to the Czar the emancipation of the serfs. The feet alone of its being the suspected origin of all the reforms which have been accom plished in Europe la moues to bring upon it the hatred of the clerical party. But that party is mistaken as to the extent of its influence. Masonic lodges are as numerous in France as elsewhere ; bet we do not see that they exercise any lnfluenn on public opinion. It is not likely that Free masonry would depart from its fundamental principles of humenity and brotherly love to outrage humble servants of God. Ask any Freemason, and be will expose nothing but horror sad scorn for the Lisboa rioters. It is not probable that the explanation of the affair given in en evening journal of yesterday was considered satisfactory by the Siiele. Your readers shall judge for themselves. It is in the form of a letter written by M. Alfred &Impact to the Pays, in which he says: The Portuguese people, so patient, kindly natured, and easy to govern, en mot galley of this anti-social erne. It origins*s with eon unreffeeting persona, who are misled by false Ideas of animal supremacy and dignity. These inearllefli of WA) dletarbasee are to be found neither mem the euitexracy, whether Ifigualite or constitutional, ser the Indssmisse sad peeestal middle class, nor even among the lower cease, absorbed la the facile plenums of the for .dew, but—we regret to say it—among the Indies editors of the prime of the sentry. The disergannUon to which the Pentegsme pram is • prey, • desire of popularity, personal rivalries, She ealgeseise of petioles, will bring about each • rook whemeverpeopie tea Bing around their own miserable prelensitme the clea of the national honour is danger. Order ea to their material interests, which they leave to Legal, they think bat of obtaining respect for an inde pendents which nobody thinks of assailing. Imagining tbareesirea beeseseady menaced by foreign Invasion, every thing affords them a pretext for keeping up agitation in the public mind. Like all weak people, they have recourse to vblaoce In order to conceal their apprehensions; and, overshooting the mark, they compromise by their monies the muse which they think themselves trilled upon to defend. It is not only in the ranks of the democratic pram that the guilty persons must be sought, but in those of the sanatoria' prams also. We here publicly ao case the chief editor of the anoi-official journal, the Porter fen, of having been the loading Instigator of the troubles which have afflicted Lisbon, ail the following fame will prove : —On the eve of the day of our leaving that city we were walking in the Puerto (public garden) with our friend M. Irivy Jordao, • distinguished lawyer, • member of the Academy of Sciences, and one of the hoeing sad most re markable municipal counsellors la the espial. We were w eaned by a young man, who was presented to us as • brother writer, be., the principal editor of the Portliguies. The conversation fell upon the oesdetnnation pronounced by the Upper Chamber of the polemics of the fortogres, ea to the expected arrival el some sisters of the oceeretratton of St. Vincent-do-Peal; which body it is known is already in operation at Oporto with the full meant of the Inhabitants of that populous and industrious city. " I will not yield." cried the young man, in great enitenent, " and I will oblige them foreigners (the sisters) to re-embark, even if I pay the populace to Meta them." We could not help Aeries with K. Jordao the dawn inspired in us by these words. " What," I said speaking the first, " would you have the courage to Weak Lam* pious women, who one among you to perform • work of charity in your horrible prisons, and your unwhole some hospitals ? I pity your courage, but allow ma to ques tion your reason." The editor attempted to explain his conduct, "We Portuguese," be said, tt maw fro m n o supremacy arrogated by Europe In oar domino quesdons. IWe are foreigners In our own land. That state of things moat be altered. If you find the ministration of you I Biotin of Charity so useful, keep them to yourselves, bet do I not loins them upon us." I observed to him that these pious woman had been formally sent for to Portugal at the request of the centre of Oporto, and instituted by a royal decree; that if it was not thought desirable to rani the say longer, the proper mune was to bring about the repeal of the ordinance ccastitutionally, and not to act with the brutality of savages; that it wen to my the least, singular that • minority should thus impose its prej dins and dislikes open a majority; that in de . privies the poor of the spirituel and materiel aid of the sisters, he wend ant off Lab= from an edentate which Oporto vaned most highly ; and thee, alluding to the fami liar appellations mutually applied to each other by the Inha bitants of the five principal cities of Portugal, I mid the tripe-dealers of Minn (tripeiree) wend rejoin greatly at the Madame of the ceickee-hearts (news de sorktr). I had to deal with ate of those headstrong matures with whom the but enpuents are of no avail. I lea him no less Indignant than eagry ; my *lead K. Jordeo obeerving that he was regarded ea • hot-heeded man, even by bin own party—thst the ministry had already once taken the editorship of the *wad from him, bat that high patronage had awed his reeteratims to R— OM each dangerous and najsMileble meads ought not le be noticed—that he himself attached ne imperious tr. the Menke sad attacks of such an adversary ; that he was pars sseelly exposed to his daily attacks for having athempid le improve the public gardens, but that he had no Mho to him ea that &coma; because he regarded him as • maim We sew ass how the culpable peadblbei en nouseel to me have base Willed (Oa the pet fed the !big there is) worse than • weaken; three behead • amid of and a forfeiture of the presise meek to the Tema govermen.

Prance nano and troubles as am; but at the same time she will be re peeled, end will est allow her well-known gensmaity and her alt-bstrayed etelidesee ra be abased. I have given the concluding passage, not because ft throws any light on the question, but because of its peculiar tone of ambiguous threatening, observing that the letter occupies the leading columns (glorified by largo type) of the semi-official Pays. The o;rstitutionnal has a long article against free trade, a subject on which it is as ante diluvian as is the Univers on its religious hobby-hone. The time appears ill-chosen for the parade of these prohibition doctrines. The new ally of France and England is about to revise her tariffs, in order to meet the commercial views of those two countries. It will probably occur to M. Michel Chevalier and his friends to avail themselves of the occuion thus presented, and to urge the serious consideration of the hose branch of the subject. How, in point of fact, can France conscientiously auk China to place her on the same custom-hoose footing with England ? What reciprocity has she to offer China, under her present system of ultra-protection--a system which show s her to the world, commercially speaking, a century behind England ? We shall probably hear more on the subject from the Debate. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1858,' The Zedependesee Beige meets the English com plaints of the Vißefroze& lease with ► back-handed blow, bearing on our occupation of Perim. The Pieammetsee Gazette states that the so-called session of the port of Villafranca to Russia consists of the mere gratuitous concession of an old deserted bagme, which is to be turned into a depot for provisions and fuel (the French word combustibles is certainly somewhat suggestive of Russian aggression). This version of the affair has been thought sufficiently important to assume the form of a telegram, dated the lath inst. The Gazette do France, in spits of its satisfaction, upon principle, at the slight to England which some see in the act of cession, thinks the preoedent a very bad one, and holds that the Continental powers should interfere and represent to Piedmont that, under the present system of European equilibrium, no nation has a right to cede or let any portion of its territory. " What could be said," it concludes, "if the King of Naples were to sell a port to England ? What was said when it was reported that this latter power had bought the Isle of Perim ?" The Bonne opened this morning rather' doubtfully, until it was found that the settlement for railways and Mobilier, of which some ap. prehension. had been felt, was accomplished with remarkable facility, and without leaving mush reports. After this the Rents was kept up with extraordinary vivocity, and nee to 73fr. 25c. ; but at two o'clock a sudden relapse began, and the Rente fell to 72fr. 75c., closing be tween that and 72fr. 800. Other securities to-day experienced the same vicissitudes. Mobilier closed at 920 fr., Orleans railway at 1,422 fr. 60e., and Lyons at 855 fr., it being inferred, from the extensive transactions effected, that there was a disposition to sell in order to meet the settlement. The examination of the Sultan's affairs brings to light debts hitherto unknown. The Sultans, do not like the new reforms, and stand up for their husbands. The Sultan has in part yielded to the soft persuasion, and has been reconciled to his brothers-in-law. AMERICA.

The questions between England and France, on the one hand, and the Venezuelan government on the other are likely to be settled satisfactorily. Antigua has been visited by an earthquake. The islands are healthy, except Cuba. The reports from Demerara and Trinidad are favourable for the crops. THE RUSSIANS AT A certain degree of misgiving has been caused among the English friends of oonetantional Sardinia by some extraordinary announcements in one or two English papers, stating in effect that Sardinia bed sold the port of Vi Barents, in the Mediterranean, to Russia, for a military arsenal. The report has already been contradicted in a telegraphic despatch from Turin, and pending the receipt of the definite Intelli gence which our Correspondent in that capital will not fell to send when he learns what importance has been at tached to the subject here, we publish the following extract from the letter of the Paris oortespondeet of the Times, dated Wednesday, September 16: "When a summer lake lies smooth as glue, the suddee ar rival of a water-fowl beootnes quit* an event.

(Rear, hear.) This court thought proper to perpetuate that event the striking of a medal, a copy of which was seal to the King as well as to some of his minis ten, snd I may say that his Majesty is also anxious to per petuate the event by a similar act.

Mr. Clifford, the member for the Isle of Wight, brought forward the more of the Isle of Wight pilots in the House of Commons last session, and complained that many of them were starving, and that the Southampton pilots had unfair advantages over them. Formerly there wee no die unction u to duties and privilege* between the Southampton end Isle of Wight pilots. They all took charge of ships to end from the sea and Southampton. Cowes, or Portsmouth, for which they were paid alike. When Southampton was made • packet port it was found to alter this arrangement. The large mail packets to be taken up Southampton Water at all hours of the night, at all times of tide, and in all kinds of weedier. This the Isle of Wight pilots could not undertake to do, not being sufficiently acquainted with Smith , ampton Water and great delay consequently took plebe in landing the foreign mails. The Southampton pilots were therefore separated from the Isle of Wight ones. The latter now take ships to and from the sea and Cows or Portsmouth, but not from Southampton, and a homeward bound South , ampton ship only so far as Leap Buoy, in the Solent. The re the Southampton pilots get on board, and supersede the others. The sea boundary of all the pilots is three miles beyond the Needles. The pay of the Isle of Wight pilots is 6s. for each foot of water a ship draws, provided her draught be under 17 feet, tie. a foot if her draught he between 17 and 20 feet, and 7e. a foot if above 20 feet. The pay of the Southampton pilots is, for taking a ship from Leap to Southampton, 2e. • foot if the draught be under 17 feet, 3e. a foot if between 17 and 20 feet, and ea. a foot if above 20 feet. For outward bound ships their pay is Se. a foot if the draught be under 17 feet, 7soa foot if between 17 and 20 feet, and '94. • foot if above 20 feet. If • pilot take charge of • ship beyond the Na boundary he gets extra pay, called distance money. The chief Income of the Southampton pilots is derived from the outward bound trail packets, which am deeply laden with soil, and whose draught of water is consequently great, The homeward packets are light of draught, because their coal is almost consumed as they approach Southampton. laThe pilots pa 41. each for a license, 21. each a year to have it renewed, aid 2} par oent, on their earnings for a superannuation fund. Bach mail packet company keeps its own pilots, and the chance custom is struggled for. Many of the Southampton pilots, who do not work for the maft packet companies, are badly off. Two or three pilots generally work together, and keep aamall sailing vessel, worth three or four hundred pounds, to live in while they are on the look out for homeward ships ; and a man and bey to take cue of her when the pilot boards • gip, and to take him on booed again when be leaves a ship at the sea boundary. Mr. Clifford stated to the Homo of Commons that while Cu Isla of Wight pilots are not allowed to take ship. to Southampton, the pilots of the latter port can take a ship to Cowes Or Portsmouth. This is an error, for none but Isle of Wight pilots can take a ship to the last named porta. Thee pilots are certainly not allowed to take ships to &mthampton, because they are not so competent to do so as the pilots of that port are. The grievance of the Isle of Wight pilots really is that while they are obliged to give up homeward bound Southampton ship at Leap, Southampton pilot, are sot compelled to give up outward bound chips at that place ; but the reasons are that the last named pilota are quite com petent to take ships through the Needles tothe sea boundary; aid there would be unnecessary delay, therefore , in stopping So change pilots. The Southampton pilots are 24 in number. They us ensued into three classes, spooring to their experience and degrees of skill ; those in tt clue bring privileged to take charge of the largest ships, the second clam of smaller ones, and the third class of the 'moldiest vessels. There are • great many more Isle of Wight pilots than Southampton ones. The former ars called sea pilots, because they Icing in Southampton ships from the sea and do not take them up the river. They call their Southampton brethren mud pilota, in derision, because of the mud In Southampton Water. Three pilots have been drowned lately, two outside the Needles ' and one in Lymington river. Sometimes a South ampton pilot has been tetra on to Lisbon when the weather has been very bad. Last year the man who piloted out the United States frigate Plymouth from Southampton Water was taken into the Atlantic. A fierce storm arose outside the Needles which lasted throughout the British Channel and into theme Bay of Biscay ; and the pilot would have been takes on to the United Staten If an Bast India liner bound for London had not beet met with. The Ifiereni mOdeeCyvlTiclittell7rereM; on shipping are levied are curious. Thus .hips bound for Southampton pay so =eh per ton burden for lighthouses, ro much per mast for the booms of Southampton Water which mark out the deep channel, and so much for every foot of water the sh 4 draw, for pilotage. The latter mode I. not an unreasonabEe one when It is considered that a long and heavily 'ldea mid ateerner drawing upwards of 20 feet of water going down the stroked channel of Southampton IVver, which is a tidal owq with a shelving bottom, is very difficult to guide, and that it nitride part of the stream for each a ship is not halt to wide as It would be for a ship drawing a foot or two lea water. In dark nights pilota steer by compass after they get inside the Needles, the lighthouse at Hurst Castle forming a stem light, until the Cshbot —or the Spit" light, uit is sometimes called —becomes visible. Often snail packets are steered by complies up Southampton Water, the Calshot light funning a gown Hatt until the town lights are teen. At the entrant* of the Solent there are two lights, one at Hurst Carle and the other near the Needles. The latter is ocossionelly cloud °moped, and iavi.ibht ; but the former is generally made out, and guides the steamers through the narrow western entrance of the Solent. A lighthouse on the outer Needles rock is nearly co4eted, which will greatly improve the navigation in that n • boyhood. Althous the bringing of a large mail packet up South ampton Water at night, at low water, is a difficult matter, the shill and nerve of the pilot are oftentimes most tried is taking out an outward-bound packet in the daytime. AU the Southampton mail packets leave at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, immediately after the mall is put on board. This prompt departure is observed in accordance with the moil contract, and also to get through the Needles before dark. If the tide be ebbing, the bow of the packet ports up the river, end she has to be turned round to go to see ; bat to do this with a huge ship of greet draught, and nearly 400 feet Img, by steaming, moires enormous sea room, since a ship will not answer her helm unless she is going at considerable vied, and a large reseal cannot turn abort round. Some times she is turned by a tug steamer dragging her stern round ; at other times, when the tried is favourable her jib sheet motets in getting her hrd to sea, but jou, reape, ae she gem athwart the stream, in the ad of turning round, the rash dike ebbing tide will catch her stern, and drive it down the rimr as fasts. the jib is driving her bow down; sad the Velim e sleamar is them Wm a skittish and oarsoolfat ir br . es, on, she rune down the stream, driven the vial sad tide.
