What could stimulate • man who is lord of • great estate, or a country gentleman with a peat eet•M_ ems • sixth man of almost say kind—aa • rule, what could stimulate that man to do something more? His position is so capital, he is so comfortable in life, is lotted epos with mob , has so much Influence, that there is lem:roso th e rasped , stimulus to him to make asp peat effort. Well, if you go to the other end of sosiety in this donut", yea lad you have, I don't know how many millicros of peopb who are totally unable to nabs thews efforts, became they have had no education whniever. mad their whsle Miele • seam amenable to get • living, Ned therefore they bays se epwsetaatte, es they have no as& ration, after any great dlieevny or invention.

Now, I maintain tide, the if we were to 'MAIM theenghwat the country • eyeless 01 yeismuy ettasatiaa, simple,. bat sound, and give to the gthe power to reed and the power to think that you lay • bread and great foandatioa from while would ip almost all else that you wont with regard to dieter* Ord amid educatiose, about which sane gentle- Era bin ben opeildai, and about which we have read se much during the last two or three mcothe. (Hear, *sr.) Speades el the United Steles, my lamented friend Mr. Oebdm. referring to the condition of mod to say that the Prussians were the Ya= Bumps, and from their education he believed they would be the most powerful =Wm in Europe, end beesaae they had followed to a very large extent—not exactly In detail, hat in the mane way—the system of the lJnited States in atdeavounne to give • sound eduction to their whole I people. (Hoer, hear.) There is no doubt that in future the strength of nations will depend very much epos that. (Hear, hear.) I don't mesa their strength in war, thought it adds immensely to that strength, but I mean theirstrength in the programs of invention, end of manufac tures, and of the creation of wealth and of self-respoot, and of everything that really tends to make one nation greeter than another. (Hear, hear.) Now, Mr. Mikes spoke shout the Heemington Museum. I don't know much about it, and Mr. Cole a a very pleasant person --(" oh," and a laugh)—whom I have known for many years. I find him very actively engaged in connection with hie office duties, and, at the same time, ,I tad him amailed by • very great number of persona. It Is hardly possible for anybody to be very active without coming in contact unpleasantly with somebody. (Hear, bear.) But now, with regard to the question of museums, nothing could be more reasonable than that you should have in Birmingham a good museum, another in Man chester, another in Sheffield, and so forth, for the purpose of allowing opportunities for the young, and for the old if they choose, to see what is ex cellent in manufacture and in art, for the purpose" of study and observation ; but really there is no cocain= to go . to the government for it. There are some very rich men in Birmingham ; it is said that they are not so each as some of the people of Manchester, but Manchester people are not so rich as they were some time ago—(laughter), — and I suppose some 20.0001. would go a long way to establish a very fine museum for a place like Birming ham. (Hoer, hear.) Well, and that is not • very large sum to raise. There are people Ia Birmingham who might give 5,0001., and they would not • day after hive the slightest idea that they were in any degree poorer or lees able to command all the comforts and luxuries of life. (Hear, hear.) In the United Staten men do these things more than they do here, and I suppose it arises from the fact that in this country we have • very powerful class a long way up above moat of us, and there is • general striving to get up there, and to make I eldest sons and families, and get into a titled and aristo cratic order. (Hear, hear.) Men who have any of these ambitions of course like to keep their money together, and they omit and forget something that is far greater and ' nobler. (Hear, hoar.) There were merchant peiness in the middle ages ; there have been some in this country, there are many in the United States, who set apart large dona tion' for great public purported'. I could mention some of them Ia the United States if it were , though they are not personally known to me, bat I heve read of them. (Hear, hear.) I have often wondered how it is that amongst our very rich men in this country there are not some of them who will set apart a por tion of their wealth for objects such as those of which we have been speaking. There are many men in Birming ham, there are still more, I ha ye no doubt, in Lancashire and Yorkshire and in London, who might give ten or twenty or fifty thousand pounds for a great public, object line this, and it would reet'y be in no degree an injury, but rather a blessing of the very highest order. Rich men have in all their pursuit of heroine.s commonly forgotten the greatest of all happiness which is permitted to rich men—that is, to devote some portion of their riches to the elevation and to the advantage of those who have been less favourably circumstanced. Meer, hear.) Therefore I do not very much favour the notion of going to the government and asking them to give a museum to a place like Birmingham. Why, having worked as you have worked for the last hundred years, in building up this great town, and the industry of this district—it is a monstrous supposition to say—and if any stranger were to say it you would say he insulted you— I repeat, it is a monstrous supposition to say that there is not public spirit, as we know there is abundant wealth in the district, to procure for Birmingham and the district, luite independent of South Kensington end of Mr. Cole anything that is neoeseary here for the purpose of teaching manufactures and art, and giving an oppor tunity for that kind of technical sistruction to the young men connected with the special manufactures of the dis trict. Now what I told Mr. Wright was that I was quite sure he would quarrel with me after I had said what he had been forcing me to say, but on the general subject of education I should recommend not so much of that feverish activity which I obeereed just now, for the queer iron of education is net one to be disposed of by any spasmodic effort. (Hear, hear.) It Ia • queetion of pro digious magnitude, and . the very . mtitest difficultyin this hen, Yesterday morning a breakfast took place at the Exchange, Birmingham, the oecesime being the ctlebratien of the reosnt visit of the selected minims to the Paris Ezhibillion. The chairman of the COMOAWN invited them te this entertainment. The Moron (Mr. Thomas Avery) presided; and amongst the company were Kr. Bright, M.P.; Mr. Dixon, M.P., Mr. John Jeffrey, Mr. T. 8. Wright, Mr. Bsbastlan Evans, M.A., and other gentlemen. The MAYOR, in opening the proesedinp, alluded to the peat service which had been rendered by the artisans' visit to the French Exhibition, and to the valuable reports they had presented in reference to it. The speakers who followed his worship were Mr. J. 8. Wright, Mr. W. C. Aitken, Mr. Coningaby (of London), and others. Mr. Diane, M.P., addressed the 'numbly at somelength, detailing his views on " technical education," ea avowed by him in a speech recently delivered at Manchester. Mr. BRIGHT, who was most cordially reeeived, spoke as follows :—Mr. Mayer,—Before I say anything upon the special object of this meeting, I must be allowed to thank you for the most kind expressions which you have used with regard to me. I am very sorry that there should be any great enbject on which yea and I axe supposed very much to differ, but if there be sash, I can only say that I give you full credit for purity of intention and for the haaaaaosavislioa whieb you give to rue—Cheer, hear)-sad I hope that in our walk in life, though we do net exactly take the same course, we may have an honest intention, if we can, to do something to help to the one great end which you have described as the promotion of the interests of oar fellow men and of our common country. (Hear, hear.) Now, with regard to the purpose of this meeting, I feel myself rather as if I had been entrapped on this coossion—(a laugh and " Hear, hear") — became my mind has not been running much for • long time past on the subject of education, and I find myself in the state of these 0011•OeVaitell friends of oars—(a langh)— who are being &egged on at a rate which almost bewilders them. (Laughter.) There is • very feverish anxiety to do something on the question of the education of the people. Now, years ago in dismeedng the question of the su ff rage, I have argued that the present state of ignorance in which we find a very large proportion of our own population was in itself • fact strongly oondemnatory of the character-- and I will say the unpopular character really—of the go- vernment of this country—(hear, hear)—and I ventured to make • prediction en more than one occasion that if by any means we could have in this country • thorough repre sentation of the people—l speak not now of any particular franchise either universal or household, or something abort of that, but something which should be • large and fair and honest representation of the people—that three years would not elapse before we should have established some general system of instruction—not for the rich, er for everybody, but for the great man of the people who live upon their labour and upon their weekly wages. (Hear, hear.) Well, we have had • bill pissed which ap proaches, otoeurse, within the limits of boroughs to that which the most democratic have aspired after in the ex tension of the franchise, and before that bill has come into operation, when the people are only looking at it, and wondering what it will turn out and what it will become, everybody has found out that the people are not edu cated, and there is a general rush into • new field of labour, and an excitement on that subject greater, I think, than has existed at any previous time within our me mory. (Hear, hear.) And it is a very happy thing to see that • good many obstructions—cobwebs one might call them, though they are somewhat more formidable, somewhat stronger—are being swept away under the impulse of this new feeling. I believe some of the assumptions of zealous members of the established church with regard to the question of education are being abandoned, and some of the scruples and objections held by zealous men amongst the nonconformists ere also found to be things that are not tenable, and they are disappear ing from the field. But still, with all one's gratification, I am not at all certain that there it not something like a precipitancy, • =shuns, in the propositions which are being submitted to the public ; and perhaps I shall be obliged before I sit down to throw • little cold water on some things that are being said, and that some men zea lously advocate. I do not believe in everything being done by government, and the speech of the gentleman who has taken part in this visit to the Pens Exhibition (Mr. Aitken) rather surprised me, especially as he, I believe, come* from the North of the Tweed—(laughter)—where people generally are able to take care of themselves. (Renewed laughter.) I think there is • very doubtful wisdom in proclaiming . that everything that is to be done, or almost everything, is to be done by government. As regards the expenses, if government did not spend so much as it does unnecessarily and unwisely in other directions, it would be easy—of course with far less national ex penditure than we now iron—to do even more than the greatest enthusiast arks with regard to this particular question. But at present, so far ulna see into the matter, I should not ask the government, either by grants or by rates, by one or the other or by the two combined, to do anything for public education, except foe that class of the people whose condition is to • large extent one of de plorable ignorance, and exhibiting very great neglect oa the part of the government in past times. (Hear, hear.) Now, the mar of the labouring population, whether in town or country, u we all know perfectly well, notwithstanding the loads of figures to the contrary, the Mee of the labouring lotion is not in a satisfactory condition with to its education. (Hear, hear.) I believe it is unfortunately below that of Prussia, and I believe also of Switzerland and some other countries in Europe, sad Infinitely below that of the corresponding class, if there be a corresponding clean, in the Northern States of the American Union. Now, for all above there are means ample ; I mean that all the middle classes, and all the classes above them, have certainly the means of educating their children. If they do not choose to Ito it I do not see exactly where the remedy is. There may be much done with regard to the better application of the endow ments which exist. There is no doubt that there is • pro digious sum throughout the country left by what some people call the piety or some quality of our &mestere. (laughter.) I do not know what it is, but it is MR.

On the business paper of the Metropolitan Board of Works the following notices for dissuasion to-morrow app . sar ' To motive report from special serausittes of the whole board, submitting the evidence taken by them in relation to the deposition' of Mr. Formes before the Registrar in Bankruptcy ; and to consider the following notices of motion on the subject : " By Mr. Silas Taylor—' That this board, bating lame ticpted the evidence of Yr.

One of the healthiest candidates was Artesian, who met with ready and uniform support at 100 tog. The retrogremion of Ring Charming encouraged the podium of his stable companion, Mount Palatine, to some forward, and 100 to 3 was several times booked in his favour.

PLNLANIAM IN CORR.—The Cork Reporter says : " Early on Monday morning telegraphic oominunications between Cork aod several towns iu the county was in terupted. The wires between the city and Ma. cram were dumb as well as those of Queenstown. When this become known considerable excitement was caused, and rumours of • most extraordinary and impro bable nature were circulated as to the cause of the stop ; page in the telegraphing. Large bodies of Feuians were ' said to be simultaneously descending upon the city, and this, coupled with the intelligence that the wires on the Great Southern and Western Railway were also cut, was amply sufficient to give the excitement such an impetus as could not be appeased for the day. Parties of work ' men were at once despatched along that line, and • breach was discovered In the wires in the neighbour hood of Blarney. This damage was repaired and it was then learned from Mallow that the wires were severed near Trak* and Killarney. In the course of th e day these were also repaired. Convenient to Denkettle station, on the gamesmen Railway, five wires ware cut in the one place, and were found lying on the ground twisted in inextricable confusion. These were very soon put to rights, end • close watch was set so that no TOCUtTellee of the outrage could possibly ensue. Be ' tween this and Bellinoollig on the Cork and Bedroom Railway, an entire pole was taken down and carried off, the wires being also cut. Still further on, and within two I or three miles of Macroom, the wires were again cut, and , • pole that was at the point of severance was removed and thrown hate the Selling river, adjacent to its junc tion with the Lee. This pole floated down for many miles and was picked up near Ballincollig. The wires hare not yet been repaired, and the occurrence has created much alarm among the peaceable inhabitants in and around Macroom. A strange - feature in the affair is that they were all cut at the earn* time, and over an ex tant of eountry reaching from some distance east of Cork M Tralee and Killatney. This shows a premeditation and organisation really suspicious, and goes far in saying that i Poniard= is not yet *stied.
