LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 14. THE Royal Commission appointed in 1884 to investigate the state of elementary education in Scotland has just presented its second Report, in cluding the recommendations which, after full consideration, the ascertained facts seem to justify. Them is no country in the world from which Eng lishmen may learn mom concerning the means and advantages of populareducation than from Scotland, which since the times of the Reformation has been in possession of a thoroughly national system for the teaching of the youth of the country. We need not cross the Tweed to mark the benefi cial results. We see them in the positions which Scotsmen coming south take, by virtue of their superior acquirementa, in the competition of busi ness, in the professions, and in the public service, to the great advantage of the community in which they are content to merge their national character. Last night it was acknowledged in the House of Commons that a qualification for the electoral franchise, which would have been thought too low for England, would be safe for Scotland, because of the more general diffusion of educa tion there. In Scotland education is prized by the poor, and recognised as a title to respect by the rich, and no pains are spared to obtain it. One of the Assistant Com missioners of this inquiry met two children the summer before last on a Highland moor, and found that their father, a shepherd, and another herd lodged, boarded, and paid between them, a young man purposely to teach their children, in a region where there were no schools, and where even this arrangement could only be carried out by the children of ono family going every Monday morn ing to live with the other until Saturday night. Nevertheless, even Scotland is inadequately supplied with elementary schools. The national provision for education, consisting of the Parochial and Parliamentary schools established by law, and maintained by local charges, falls far short of accomplishing its object. More than two-thirds of the education of the rural districts of the country is furnished by schools of a supplementary character, for the most part denominational, and together with the national schools, assisted more or less by grants from the Committee of Coun cil. The quality of the teaching in these schools, however, is in a large measure defective, while the state of the buildings and the appliances at hand are very unsatisfactory. The remedy most obviously suggested by this state of things is the extension of the Parochial or National system on a scale proportioned to the wants of the whole population. The Commissioners, however, do not feel justified in recommending this course. They do not think it practicable or even desirable to throw aside or at once to take over, at the ex pense of the nation or of the locality, schools which have been created by volun tary efforts, or to supply from national funds or from local assessment the contributions at present furnished from private sources. The conclusion w hey have arrived at is, that "by • " judicious improvement of the parochial or " national schools, and by taking advantage of the " existing schools outside that system, combined " with a reasonable modification of the rules on " which the Privy Council grants are administered " and the extension of Government inspection, the " existing schools may be rendered thoroughly " efficient, and that provision may be made under " which these schools may all in time assume a " national character." As the nationalization of all the schools of Scotland is so much insisted on, it is worth while to learn what, in the opinion of the Commissioners, are the notes of a national system, especially as they are agreed that the Privy Council system with which we in the southern portion of the island are familial, neither is national nor can be made so. In their view, " a National System" implies 1. That there should be some recognised body invested with legal power to establish as many national schools as may be required, and to prevent the establishment of /1141 Ht 2. That t h e law shall enable the inhabitants of a dis trict to raise each funds aa may be necessary to erect and maintain a boob, instead of leaving them to be erected and m►intained by voluntary efforts. 2. That the schools shall be public and national ; or, in other words, that every parent shall be entitled to claim admittance for him child into any such school ; but that if THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1867. he objects on religious gro dr to any part of tie ieaffeee• Con, his objection is to be 4. That any inspection of national abeam AA'Alt denominationaL It will be seen at once why the Commissioners, while claiming for Scotland the full advantage of the aid supplied from the public treasury while the present Privy Council system lasts, are not prepared to foetid their proposals for the extension of education in that country entirely upon it. The Privy Council system professedly aids voluntary local effort. It c:uutot guarantee an equally dif fused education. It grants aid where it is least re quired; it gives much to districts most competest to provide themselves with schools, while those dis tricts which are least competent receive little or no aid. Moreover, the managers of denominationst, schools claim the right of excluding children from all instruction, unless they are willing to ac cept the dogmatic teaching of the Church to which the managers belong. The Commissioners pro nounce a very decided op on this last point. They say : It has been seen already that the parochial school par takes of the character which is common to all Presbyterian schools, of being entirely undenominational as respects the attendance of scholar. In this respect there never has been in Scotland any material difficulty arising from what is called the religious or conscience element. So long ago as 1829 the Education Committee of the General Assembly reported that " the teachers had been directed " not to press on the Roman Catholic children any instruc " tion to which their parents or their priest might object, " as interfering with the principles of their own religion." In 1832 the same committee again recur to the subject, and state that "by this toleration theme Protestant schools have " been e • erywhere acceptable and attractive to the Catholic " population." Moreover, in the case of all Presbyterian schools established under the Committee of Council, the feu-charters contain a conscience clause. By these means security is given to parents that their children may absent themselves at the time of religious instruction. Such at present is the tolerant system pursued in all the Presby terian schools. In some of the Episcopalian schools, how ever, it is otherwise. According to Mr. Seller, the rule in most of these schools is that the children should not be compelled to learn the Church Catechism ; but in two of them it was held to be incumbent, and in one attendance at chapel was also deemed necessary. In this school, which derives aid from the parliamentary grant, and in which there were 92 on the roll, there were only 19 Episcopalians. In the other school, out of 98 on the roll, only 33 were Episcopalians. The contrast between the conduct of the managers of the various denominational schools becomes more striking when it is observed that while 2,623 Episcopalian and 7,000 Itoo3/0 Catholic children enjoy the benefit of the conscience clause in Presby erian schools, there are 4,000 Presby terians in Episcopalian schools who enjoy no such protec tion. Such being the existing state of matters in some of the denominational schools in this country which derive aid from the Treasury, it seems impossible to reconcile the omission of a conscience clause with the claims of justice. We therefore think that no school ought to be entitled to any public aid unless the parents of the children who attend the school may claim the protection of a consrienre clause. The most important part of the Commissioners' recommendations relates to the advantages to be offered to those denominational schools which shall eminent to be so transformed as to become national. The existing schools, it is acknow ledged, are all wanted. They represent an immense amount of energy in the cause of education, and large funds drawn from volun tary sources. They have buildings, masters, and other appliances more or less efficient, actively engaged in and adapted to the work of teaching. To throw them away at once would be extravagant ; it is proposed, therefore, to take' them as they stand, and under their existing man agement, into the National system, subject them to inspection and supervision, and admit them to participation in the grants made by Government. In order to accomplish this object some central authority is indispensable, and it is, therefore, proposed to constitute a Board of Education, four members of which are to be chosen for three, years by the Universities of St. Andrew's, Glas gow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen, and four fur the same term by the chief magistrates of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, and Aberdeen, three to be chosen annually by the Commissioners of Supply for the counties of Inverness, Perth, and Ayr, and three permanent members to be named in the Act of Parliament. The Board will have to determine the number and character' of schools required in each parish or burgh ; to incorporate into the National system as many of the existing schools as may be deemed requisite ; to authorise and enforce the erection of such new schools as may be required ; and to insist that all school buildings shall be efficiently maintained and the teaching be efficiently conducted. They propose that National Schools—i.c., Parochial, Adopted, or New schools—and no others, shall share in the present parliamentary grant, and that every National School shall be open to scholars of all denominations. The Adopted schools, remain ing under denominational management, will be entitled to claim their share in the parliamentary grant, but not in any local rate raised for edu cational or other purposes, that being the price which the managers and subscribers will pay for retaining the management in their own hands. These, omitting a number of working details, are the leading recommendations of the Commissioners. It is remarkable that they should be presented with the authority of noble men and gentlemen representing a great variety of political and religious opinion—of the Duke of AROYLL, Lord DUNFERMLINE, Sir JAMEB FERGUS SON, Mr. MONCREIFF, Mr. MURE, Mr. MURRAY DUNLOP, Mr. BLACK, and Dr. Joint BROWN. They doubtless afford ample material for discussion, but of whatever improvements they may be susceptible, we believe the general opinion will be that the plan they set forth is a great advance, whether liberality or comprehensiveness be considered, upon anything hitherto proposed in England with so great a probability of being supported. The Globe announces that Mr. Gladstone has " joined the League," and predicts that he will soon be in Hyde-park arm-in-arm with Bailee and Bradlaugh. Our contemporary appears not to know the difference between the National Reform League and the National Reform Union—neither of which, however, can yet claim Mr. Gladstone as a roeirber. The Globe asks whether it ought to laugh or weep over Mr. Gladstone's address to the Reform deputation on Saturday. We should unhesitatingly say —weep. COLONIAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this society was bald l as t even i ng i n t h e Weigh House Chapel, London-bridge, Mr. J. Spicer in the chair. It appeared from the report, which was mul by the Rev. A. Ilannay, the secretary, that in the Australia, and New Zealand there were now about 2.50 churches, almost all of which owed their existence to the indirect influence or the direct aid of the society. During the 31 years of its existence the society had received and dis bursed only about 127,000 f., but this did not represent the whole money power called into action ; for the polo ales, encouraged by the society's bounty, had eagerly helped themselves. The churches in the Australia. were, with few exceptions, supported from colonial resources, and by the establishment of colleges and the organisation of missionary societies they were laying hold of the future in • spirit of independence not unworthy of their lineage. The report furnished details of the work of the society in the Australia,, New Zealand, South Africa, and the British North American provinces. Reference also was made to the death of the Rev. J. L. Poore, last March, to whose enthusiasm, wise daring, and personal self. ' denial the success of the society's mission in Australia was largely owing. The report having been adopted, ad d-rams were delivered by the Rev. R. Ashton, Rev. Dr. Tanking, Rev. J. G. Rogers, Rev. W. Marshall, its.

THE /400TCH REFORM BILL. As far as the borough and county franchisee are concerned, the Times thinks no dissatisfaction is likely to be felt in Scotland ; but the part of the bill dealing with the redistribution of seats is open to much criticism. It was confessed last night that the additional members to be given to Scotland will be also additional members of the House of Commons, and, though no successful opposition may be raised to this course, ➢lr. Gladstone was justified in insisting on its necessity being established. Though there is no magic in 658, that number ought not to be increased without premediWion. The proposal to grant ad ditional members by the process of subdividing counties, also, ought not to he sanctioned except upon mature consideration, and still more open to objection is the proposal to strengthen the existing groups of lowland boroughs by adding to them towns not now directly represented. It is plain that this system of strengthening boroughs is very like a plan of weakening counties. These questions, how ever, are not sufficient to affect materially the good im pression with which the Scotch Reform Bill has been re ceived. In a second leader the Tones ridicules the antagonism of the liberal party out of doors to the English bill. The cream of its argument is that if a man will not pay the cost for the possession of the franchise, he most be at somebody's mercy or disposal ; and it is quite as well he should be. Noticing the puerile vituperation and petulance which characterised Mr. Disraeli's prelude last evening, and observing that the use of such railing as designating men as " obsolete incendiaries " and " spouters of state sedi tion " is specially unbecoming in the representative of • government which quails before Mr. Beales, the Daily News proceeds to his theme, remarking that the Scotch proposal is, save in the lower figure selected, substantially identical with the amendment which Mr. Gladstone proposed in the English Reform Bill this session. So liberal a measure as this will no doubt secure the end for which it was framed. Many of the Scotch borough members are taken captive by it. They will give Mr. Disraeli rarer blanche with the English bill, in order to save the Scotch bill. The device of the government is not without cleverness. But it will fall into its own trap. For the liberal measure of enfranchisement granted in one pert of the kingdom cannot long be withheld from the other. In its borough franchise and in the enfranchise ment of the Scotch universities the bill is satisfactory, but in its other points it is radically unfair, and framed to secure the aggrandisement of the county represent►tion, and the increase of landlord domination in the counties. The Poet thinks it was indiscreet in Mr. Disraeli to allude as he did to the speeches at Carlton-house-terrace on Saturday, and regards ea in even worse taste his mis quotation of Pope's celebrated lines on Addison, and their application to Mr. Gladstone. As to the Scotch bill, the extensive changes which it effects will give rise to ac in vidious comparison between the political conditions of the people of the two countries which certainly will not tend to diminish that agitation which Mr. Disraeli so much deprecates. The government journals, the Herald and Standard, re joice over the character of the bill, and the manner in which it was received by the house. The Star, congratulating the Scotch boroughs on the offer of household suffrage which has been made to them, condoles once more with the inhabitants of the English boroughs that they are not considered by the ministry so worthy to be entrusted with the franchise as their Scottish brethren. But the Scotch adviser of the ministry is not less astute than Mr. Disraeli himself. The two university members are as certain to be conservatives as the members for Oxford ; two conservative members are rendered certain for Ayrshire ; two obtained for Lanark ; Renfrew and Dumbarton are rendered secure, end an additional conservative is provided for Aberdeenshire. This is a pretty good result to be obtained from such an unpromising country for conservative principles as Scotland. In the sister kingdom, says the Telegraph, Mr. Disraeli had a very simple problem to solve. He could expect to gain votes in Scotland by none of the political juggleries at his command. But what is thus given to the country which has no compound householders can no longer be re fused to England, and refonn can be " eettled " only when household suffrage shall be made the uniform basis for the franchise of the British Islands.

In any action for libel the court or judge may, on the application of the de fendant at any time during the proceedings, order that the plaintiff shall give the defen dan t security for the pay ment of defendant's costs, and that all proceedings in the cause shall be stayed until such security shall be given." FATAL EPPECTR OF THE TEMPEST ON FRIDAY.— The storm of Friday soon after mid-day appears to have extended its violence across the country from the Dun mow district over Saffron Walden and Into South Can. bridgeshire. Simultaneously with the crash experienced at Dunmow and the neighbourhood about five minutes before I o'clock Mr. C. Houghton • commercial gentleman from the firm of Green and RObson, of Saffron Walden, was travelling in his gig near Shepretb, in Cam bridgeshire, when the lightning, followed by terrific peals of thunder, was so dreadful all around that his horse be came almost unmanageable. He proceeded on to Barring ton, which is about two miles from Shepreth, and here be found the inhabitants of the village in the greatest con sternation, terror, and alarm. Mr. Prime, the son of a respectable farmer, had dismounted from his horse near a stack of corn where four men where sheltering. Sud denly the electric fluid struck him and two of the men to the ground, and one labourer was found to be dead, and another seriously injured principally in the lower limbs. Mr. Prime not only felt the shock severely, but his nether garments and boots and those of the others were rent by the lightning in • most singular manner. Mr. Hough- ton informed our correspondent that he sew the body of the dead man in a cart with one of the others being carried to their home, and the deceased's hat was cut in a starlike form, so that doubtless the flash was received on the head and caused instant death. Other sad and fatal occurrences from the same storm were ru moured in the town of Walden on Saturday, especially a fire of property at Swaffham, Cambridgeshire, and ifru feared that it will be found that much damage and loss of life were caused by the severe tempest —Esser Herald.

(71011 OCR OWN PARIS. Mot AY EVIIIILIKI. The Marquis de Moustier's communication to the Senate and the Corps Legislatif seems to con tain no arriire penile, but to accept the great work of the London Conference not as a temporary settlement of what has been called the accidental and merely symptomatic Luxemburg question, but as a definitive removal of all causes of a Euro pean war. Europe will be justified in constru ing this message as a solemn renunciation of all those aggressive designs which the dangerous friends of the empire and the worst enemies of France, the Cassagnacs and the Oudroults, have lately openly avowed. It is impossible that the French government can have the face, within any short period, to say it wants Belgium and the Rhine frontier when it distinctly accepts the with drawal of the Prussians from Luxemburg as the " cessation" of an entire situation of which France has complained for fifty years. I cannot now believe there can be any foundation for the opinion of those pessimists, and there are many, who say that this treaty is only a postponement of the war for two or three months. No doubt the logical conse quence of the settlement ought to be disarma ment and a very great modification of the Army Organisation Bill. I am sorry to observe in the Debuts of this morning an article contend ing that the armaments should go on upon the principle Si via pacem pare bellum. The Indipendance Belge, of Saturday evening, said, " The armaments of France are now the only cloud which threatens the peace of Europe." The Bourse was firm. Rente rose 25c. for cash, and 224 c. for account, closing at 69fr. 15c. Other securities were, however, lower. Italian fell 45c., and Credit Foncier 7fr. 50c. A new version, probably not the last, of the famous mot, Messieurs les Anglaia, tires les premiers, has been raked out of some old chronicles on the occasion of the 122nd anniversary of the battle of Fontonoy, which was fought on May 10, 1745. In some memoirs left by the Marquis de Venous, who was on Marshal Saxe's staff during the battle, there is the following passage : Towards the middle of the day Maurice de Saxe said to an officer, who, seeing the Dutch were hors de combat, thought the battle was gained, " Let us now try the Eng lish; we shall find them harder to digest." The hostile forces took up battle array so close to each other that the English officers ►t the moment of halting their troops caught the eyes of the French officers and saluted them c.p in hand. The French officers returned the salute, and then a captain of the English Guards, named Lord Charles Hay, stepped forward as if to parley. Count d'Anteroche, a lieutenant of Grenadiers, advanced to meet him. " Monsieur," said the Englishman, " why don't you make your men fire!" "No, sir, replied d'Anteroche, "we never fire first" (mss nr limns jamais les premiers). The two officers again exchanged salutes and returned to their ranks. The English at once commenced firing, and so terribly that a thousand of our men fell. It would appear from this, if I understand the anecdote aright, that it was not out of politeness, as generally supposed, that the French declined to fire first, but because it was part of their tactics to dare the enemy to close quarters.

A correspondent of the Figaro, speaking of ths gratuity given to waiters at Paris cafes, warns the public) not to suppose that their money goes to the waiters.

Tbs mete they have taken is by the Danube, the Lour Caul, and the Maine. They have been already 17 days on dill journey. While in the Danube the voyagers met with a violent tempest, in which a large steamer was strudel and several mills thrown down. On the rand betroth the Danube and the Mains they had to pies through 19 locks. The yacht has now left this place to continue journey on to Paris." Two elegant little Swedish screw steamers we , tried on Saturday on the Seine, starting from the Champ de Mars. They have been sent to the Exhibition as speci men, of the boats in use at Stockholm.
