The success that has attended this exhibition far exceeds Cho expectations of even the most sanguine of its promoters. Yesterday fortnight the exhibition was pub licly opened, and up to last night no leas than 182,0 C) persons have visited it. Every day during the fortnight some special attraction in the shape of vocal or instru mental performances has been provided, and it is only fair to add that nothing seems to bare been left undone by the committee to render those performances thoroughly enjoy able. Last Thursday the attendance of visitors numbered as many as '22,0j0; indeed, the hall on this occasion was so inconveniently packed, that inspecting the article' exLibited was out of the question. The great rush of visitors of course takes place at night, and up to the time of closing every night last week a dense crowd thronged the building. Notwithstanding the great crush on these occasions, it is most gratifying to record that nothing has either been broken or missed up to the present. As is already known, it was originally arranged that the exhibition should remain open only a fortnight, but the committee have found it necessary, from the continued crowded state of the ball, ►nd in compliance with the request of a large number of persons, to keep the exhi bition open for an extra week. It will therefore remain open till next Monday. on which day the closing ceremony will take place, at which the Chancellor of the Exchequer will preside. The LORD CHARTILLOR said he had crest ple .r, stating to the civic authorities that her Ilap,sty f sp. proved of the course which the citizens of Led ;. adopted in electing Mr. Hale u the future mayor of tt... great city. . . The loving rup went round, and after en ;e • courtesies with the Lord Chancellor, the civic party r,tire.l. and returned in their carriages to the Guildhall. The Lord Mayor elect will be sworu into utr....e Guildhall next 'Tuesday afternoon.

This munificent institution wet built and endowed by Mrs. Ripley, widow of the late M. Ripley, of Liverpool, at • cost, it is said, of 140,0001. Mr. Ripley died in 1852, but his widow, carrying out his believe. lent project to the letter, will happily take pot iu the oyes. ing ceremany. The Bishops of Manchester and Chester are also expected to attend. It May be mentioned that the adjudicators have com pleted their work, and in a day or two the committee will be put in possession of their report as to whom prizes have been awarded. The committee have in course of prepara tion handsomely embellished cards for prizes, and arrange ments are being made for every exhibitor to be presented with a suitable and elegant memento of the exhibition, to be presented at the distribution of prizes. The Earl of Shaftesbury will present the prizes. The distribution will take place as early as possible after the closing of the ex hibition, but it is feared from the elaborate nature of the arrangements necessary to be made that it will not take place sooner than 80[110 time early in January next.

In a large, old.f.ehimied, Out growing Lowe, there seem. to be no such thing as a echoed al.peopiiete to the wants of the small shopkeepiog and superior artisan class. . . . Their houses are tot well kept ; the rooms are untidy and not even clean ; the ways are unpunctual ; the meals are badly cooked ; the clothes are badly got op ; and if there is a servant, there is endless turmoil with her. The mistress says the maid doe, sot do her work ; the maid finds the mistress on re►.onahle and harsh; and the master and the children feel that both the charges are tine. There has been so much erring out, all over the country, for something which shall be to this order of society what our regulated and assisted schools are to the labour ing clam, that many good citizens and sensible women bestir themselves to see what they can do among their neighbours. Of these one lady ham an expe -1 pe riment of her own. She fits up sod opens a convenient house, in an easily semasehle elution, settles in it a mistress of high qualificetioes. and • housekeeper who has risen through the ranks of domestic see vice to be fit for the pre; sent business. Under her, the girls are to learn household work in the best style—cleaning, cooking. laying the table, and so on ; while the proper school-learning is of a better quality than can be found anywhere else within retch. W here the pleas ere got fairly to work, there will be a regu lar dinner pros ided for the smallest payment. for girls from • ilea. nee; meantime, the lemon of laying the cloth, Ike., goes e, for the ache of those who bring their dinners. This lesson is rather baulked. hnweeer.snit the superiors are much vexed, In the sort of dinners disclosied—vis, stale pastry, h.• got w th money given at home for the girls to spend es they like. Thin phenomenon hastens the plan for the good hot dinner at the school—the roast leg of mutter, or sirloin. with vegetablen, the limb stew, end other good things, to be cooked be the girls, in turn, in view of the table to be kept in the tutu.e home of each. But the girls have no mind for the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, or the stew, or anything else that sen.ihle people like : they go on buy- ju g stal e p‘str, no their war to ochool, nod pay more for it than for the comfortable dinner at their command. In a little while ditheulty arises about the minstrel ',Art of the schooling. Strenge to say, the m o thers do not like that their daughters should learn to wash china property, to demi furniture, rub up silver, and spread • table ; and even the fathers object to any time being given to the art of cookery, On the whole, ths very superior mhoodleareing is gra c i onn l y screlited, if not appreeiand ; but the industrious element is fat..l. The pawnbroker', daughter is absent on the elms when it is her turn to sweep a room or make the bread ; the cabinet-makee n girls are sleep, miming on ironing days ; the lieendreisee girls cannot corns any more, unless they are ezeineed from all but bank and map and pen work . and thus the -hem, is brought to an end, the school is closed, and the husbands and children of these inhaler., pupils will have to go through the wretched old expenence of domestic discomfort and wrangling. b-ca um the wife and mother does not know Low to keep house —Hum Afartinesu, in the Corn hill Maga:tot for November.

TIIE Universityof Oxford,byits governing body, has once more confirmed its repeated refusals to pay the Regius Professor of Greek for his work. Last March, it will be remembered, tho proposal was carried as far as to Convocation, where it was lost mainly by the votes of the country clergy, who had been assured that the " ark" was in danger. The adverse decision now announced is that of the Hebdomadal Council. The subject was brought before this body by the Vice-Chan cellor, who proposed that, "in consideration of " the labours of the Regius Professor of Greek, a "salary of 4001. a-year be paid to him." This moderate proposal was lost by a majority of one; four Heads of Houses and two Professors, of whom we regret to see Mr. MaNsct was one, vot ing against it. The Dean of Christ Church and Master of Balliol supported the motion, as also did Dr. PC,EV and Professor MoUNTAGEE BERNARD. These names sufficiently show that it was a question of honour and justice, and not one of theological orthodoxy, that was decided on Monday. Dr. PUSEY ham taken the course that was to be ex pected of his character, in refusing to listen to the appeals made to him on grounds foreign to the merits of the case, and in renewing the atteiupt to terminate this long struggle in the only way con sistent with equity. Dr. PUSSY is at this time waging an uucampromiaing war with Professor JowErr's opinions with the weapons of learning and logic, and very lately ho endeavoured to ob tain a judicial condemnation of his doctrines ; but he has a sense of what is due to the character of the University, and perceives that it must on no account be associated with an act of injustice. But another view has prevailed. To polemical zeal the reputation of the University for fair dealing has seemed a thing of light account when com pared with the triumph of a theological school. To impartial spectators it seems that, even in the interest of such opinions as the President of St. John's would approve, it was important that Mr. Jowevr should not be allowed to remain in a position of advantage which the youngest member of the University can appreciate. Admit, for the occasion, all that is alleged against the Professor of Greek—and that he teaches un sound doctrine from the chair is, we believe, io.t alleged—the question arises, Can the party which is wholly right in the theological controversy— the party which, to use the words of the Arch deacon of Taunton, is "on the Lord's side"— accept so much as a Greek lesson at the hands of • heretic ? Is it decent to be in debt to the man you spend your time in publicly denouncing? Is everything la;vfol in dealing with those of whose opinions you disapprove ? Such would seem to be the opinion of Mr. MaNsei. and his associates. I t appears to be assumed th at, Mr. Jow r opinions beingso bad, nobody need have scruples about taking his unexceptiuii::,le Greek without paying him. We should have thought that the situation in which this line of conduct leaves those who adopt it would have been intolerable, and that the first care of these ullo oppose the Professor of Greek in the name of unsoundness of doctrine would have been to depose hiin from the position of a creditor. However this matter maybe decided in a conclave of Oxford from the public point of view the case is cry simple. Here is a Professor who, from the date sof hie appointment, has been lecturing on the Creek language and literature for a salary of 401. a year. His merits as a teacher are a.:.• knowledged, end the estimate in which he is held by the undergraduates is shown by the numbers who freipietit tiis lecture-room. It is proposed to increase his ssdiry by 3601. a year. It is shown that no re= hits n that may be taken on that pro position will alert the Professor's position. He is safe in his chair. He will not go, and he can not be removed. So far as he is concerned, no change of opinion is to be effected either by in creasing, or even diminishing his salary. And so far as his labour for the students is concerned, the amount of his salary is immaterial. For many year, term after term, Professor JuwErr has dhcharged his duty in a manner to command admiration. The pulslic, which listens with wonder and defereoce to the disputes of theologians, claims to he a jocks of such a case, and holds firmly the opinion tte.t. a man who does honest work has a right to be pai , l for it. It is a misfortune for the University that a majority of its governing body should bend ano:her opinion. To Professor Jewarr the decision of Monday last is a matter of small COllBe.lllVll ,- 5., but it is a serious thing when the morality of the rulers of a national University is thus diecndited. While, however, we record these regrets, le: 11, to justice to those members of the •uneil who have striven, though in thi.; instant . nuanced ; fully, to remove a reproach from a great And learned body. Although defeated to-dsiy, thy yi•t .ee the fruit of their labour, and %indicate, 46 Li. deserves, the honour of their University.

President Lincoln has made a speech stating that some persons have construed Seward's remarks into a threat that if he (Mr. Lincoln) was defeated in the presidential election he would do what he could to ruin the government.

The people need not be uneasy on the latter point, since their will, constitutionally expressed, must be law fur all.

Sheridan reports that on the 10th the enemy at tacked his army at Cedar Creek before daylight, turning and driving most of his line in confusion, and capturing 20 guns. Sheridan hsetened from Winchester, found the army between Middletown and Newtown driven back four miles, formed a COlll - line of battle in time, and repulsed the entmy's attack at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. At 3 o'clock Sheridan attacked the enemy, drove and routed hini, capturing 50 guns, including those previously taken by the Confederates. Unofficial advices state that the attack upon Sheridan's army was made by Longstreet during a dense fog before daylight. The Federals ware surprised, and their left com pletely turned. They tied in disorder, abandoning their breastworks and 24 guns. Sheridan then rallied his troops, attacked the Confederates, drove them from Middletown across Cedar Run, the cavalry pursuing them beyond Fisher's Hills. Confederate General Ramseur was killed. The Federal General Bidewell was killed, and Generals Wright, Grover, and Ricketts were wounded. Sheridan captured 1,600 prisonera. The correspondent of the Neer York Herald es timates the losses of Sheridan at 5,000 men. Stanton reports that the telegraph is working to Atlanta. Southern despatches indicate that Hood is about to change his base of operations to North Alabama, where he will be joined by Beauregard, for the pro secution of the campaign against Bautaville, Ala bama.

THE INSURECTION IN VENETIA. A letter from Feltre, in the &mein/ Urt Bresciana states that bands of insurgents still occupy various points of Frioul, and the territories of flelluno and Treviso. It adds that young men repair singly to the Cadore (a valley in that neighbourhood), where the majority of insurgents are assembled. The Austrians have fixed their head-quarters at Udine to prevent the insurgents from crossing the Carnia. A public prosecutor has arrived there from Venice in order at once to confluence the trial of the pri soners that may be taken. Turin letters state that the Venetian emigrants in that city, without founding any very sanguine hopes ou the movement in Venetia, have not wished to remain insensible to what is taking place. They have held a meeting, at whi c h Baron Tecchio presided, and opened a subscription at which a sum of I,ooofr. was immediately col lected. A mixed committee has been also formed to organise a subscription under the name of the °bolus of Venice. The members of this body are M. Macchi and M. Levy, deputies ; M. Monti, physician ; M. Corrado, an ativ.)cate ; and Rossi, a workman. OVEMBER THE TWO EMPERORS. A litter from Nice of the 29th tilt. •ye : In the unexpected visit which the Emperor Napoleon yesterday received from the Czar, the latter wore the oaf form of a colonel of his guard, and was accompaaied by a very numerous suite. The two sovereigns retired into • private saloon, where theyrentained in conversation for more than half an hour. The Emperor Napoleon was dressed u a general of division, and accompanied by the members of his household when he returned the visit. The Emperor Alex►nder received him on the ground floor, where his cabinet is situated. The two sovereigns were again tCtz d-Oe for nearly three-quarters of an hour, after which i they pro ceeded to the apartments of the Empress, on the first door. Tho visit altogether lasted an hour. Those interviews of the two Emperors will doubtless open ► vast field for corn. meets. What took place! What was said I confess to you that up to the present time everyone near their Ma jesties u impenetrable on the subject. I mast, however, say that Baron de Badberg, the admitted negotiator of this meeting, was in high spirits yesterday, and wore with evi dent satisfaction the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour with which he had been decorated. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN 0011YESPONDINT.) PARIS, TCESDAT EVENLNG. This is All Saints' Day, one of the greatest public holidays in the year. The shops are all closed, so is the Bourse, and politics are in a state of suspen sion. The streets are crowded with promenaders in winter clothing enjoying the sharp keen air of a finer day than we have lately had. The evening papers do nut appear. The case of the Courtier du Ditnattche, alluded to in the Times of Monday, is materially understated by that journal, and the writer's misconception of the true point conveys a wrong idea of the French law on the subject. The grievance of the Courrier du Diuuotelte is not that its suspension, instead of following immediately upon its two warn ings, was delayed for a year and a half, but that it was suspended twice in respect of one and the same set of warnings. It is the second suspension without any new offence having been committed, which in the opinion of M. Gigot, the advocate of the Council of State bar, was illegal. I have no doubt whatever that M. Gigot is right. The I cou p d'etat legislation says that after a journal has been visited by two warnings it shall be liable to be suspended at the good pleasure of the adminis tration for "a period not exceeding two months." The present Minister of the Interior construes these words as meaning " any number of successive I periods not exceeding two months"—an absurd construction which no minister ever thought of before, and which is contrary not only to the manifest spirit but the plain letter of the law. The question is too plain to bear discussion, and, elastic as is the conscience of the Council of State, I think it impossible that it can side with the ad ministration in the present instance. The wrong, however, like most wrongs inflicted by French government functionaries, is probably one without a remedy. The Council of State may declare the decree of suspension illegal, but it cannot indem nify the Courrier du Dimanche for the heavy loss entailed upon it by the illegality. A French minister may set all law at defiance, but an autho ritative declaration that he has done so, in the rare cases where one can be obtained, does him no harm and his victim no good. The Rouen Chamber of Commerce made a report iu April last, approving of China grass as a valuable substitute for cotton, and expressing a hope that an establishment for the preparation of the new textile material might be formed in their city. At that time the quantity of CLina grass submitted to them was too small for a thorough investigation of its capabilities; but latterly a second experiment has been made on a larger scale, and the Almtitcur assures us that it was completely successful. The prizes for the late international shooting match at Vincennes were awarded on Sunday. In the list of laureats I observe the name of an English gentleman, a Mr. Biggs, of Leicestershire. He fired with a government Enfield rifle at the longest range, 300 metres, and won a gold medal, although competing with small bores. Among the latest news from Mexico, given by the Metsitettr, I observe the rather startling fact that General Caatagny—the same who, when a colonel, made the famous offer to the Emperor to invade England to hunt for accomplices of Orsini —on taking possession of the town of Monterey, the capital of the province of New Leon, appointed ' a number of natives to various civil employments, and issued a decree enacting that anyone refusing to accept the place provided for him should be punished by six mouths' imprisonment, "accord ing to law." The Temps regrets that General C:l4- tag oy should have omitted to give the date and the text of the very curious law on which his decree pro fesses to be grounded. Is it a law of the detestable government which the French army went to Mexico expressly to overthrow ? Is it one of the enactments of the virtuous Miramou I Or is it a French article imported into Mexico together with the indepen dence, prosperity, financial order, and numerous other blessings which are understood to follow in the wake of an invading French army 1 "At all events," says the Temps, "the author of this mar vellous law, whoever he may be, has paid a charm ing compliment to the primitive simplicity of the manners of the Mexicau people ; in France it would certainly never be necessary to imprison people iu order to make them accept salaried places." The Madrid journals publish two very singular royal decrees countersigned by ilarslaael Narvaez, and dated 27th October. The first orders that the professional educa tion of the Prince of the Asturias shall commence imme diately, and be continued in conformity with the develop ment of his faculties, the Queen reserving to herself its supreme direction. The second appoints six military °dicers, under the superintendence of General Antonio- Sanchez Osorio, as the young prince's professors. :CITRATE OF SODA.—The Fire-Marshal in New York directs attention to the necessity of placing under stringent regulations the storage, within the city limits, of nitrate of sock. ilia report, just issued, says ' 'ntil re ' cently the belief prevailed that the article ass a compare. tine), wife one, so tar as its storage was concereed.

CUBAN LABOUR QUESTION.--The Dictrio 41€ to Marina of the 9th of A iignit last contains a length editorial article on the Cuban labour questio n , ca ll e d f ort h by • series of local communicatMus on the necessity of changing the condition of agricultural labour, replacing the principal agent thereof by aeotber which will be something more than a simple machine. The article, although admitting the oecessity for such a change. goes on to say that the correspondent ought to know that " the evils of society cannot be always so easily extirpated as those of au individnal," and, io elucidation of the argumeet, shows that if the present system of labour be suddenly altered, its effects would be far from beneficial to those sought to be benefited. The article then goes ononto prove that until a proper system of foreign emigration b e i n t ro d uce d , not hi ng can be dope prectie illy with the question. The argument, however, preemie the ides that • desire now prevails among the higher classes of society in Cuba to abolish the vil lanous and utterly inhuman system of slavery which exists is that island, and to substitute for it a tom of paid labour which will be jest in itself. and which will commend itself to the respect of mankind throughout the world.-2'itio York paper. PICTUHM. There in no objection, as far aa we can see, to the practice of picture-dealers in getting together a number of pictures and inviting the public to see them. The exhi bition just opened at 53, Pall-mall, is one of this kind, and decidedly a good one. It contains IGB pictures, • large per centage of which are well worth seeing. In landscape sub jecte it is perhaps richer than the exhibition at the French gallery. Two, entirely new, by the elder Linnet!, are alone worth a visit. The subjects of these are, we might almost say of course, "Scenes in Surrey," only that one, of them (117) is celled " Windsor Forest fifty years ago." aca the opposite well of the gallery hang several pictures by the sons of this extraordinary landscape painter, and the comparison of their pictures with those of their father and master will be most interesting to those who care to study an artist's mode of working. There is no doubt but in the Linnells' we have the nucleus of a noble school of landscape painting, threatened, however, with • great danger—that of begetting man maim in it pupils. It may be as natural for the sons of Mr. Linnell to paint like their father as it is for the handwriting of any son to resemble that of his father ; but we have only to turn to some other pictures in this collection—say, for example, to those of Mr. C. Stan field—to see how easily the habit of imitation fixes itself in the practice of the young painter. and holds him a slave for ever afterwards. We shall, how ever, be better employed at present, perhaps, in indicating the character of some of the more noticeable works on view. Conspicuous amongst the figure-subjects is a picture by Mr. E. M. Ward, a reproduction of his " Death of Montrose," which loses in force by being rendered on • smaller scale than the original painting. Mrs. E. M. Ward has com pletely adopted her husband's style, but at the same time works with something more than a merely imitative faculty. Her picture (36) on the subject of the " Princes in the Tower "is one of the best she has yet produced. Mr. A. Johnstone has two pictures (IV and 127), both painted in his clean bright manner, and both touched with a senti ment that always seems capable of stronger expression. The better of the two pictures is 127, representing the parting of Robie Adair and the lady at the door of the theatre, and illustrative of the passage in the balled : . . . Ana when the play was o er What m=ale my heart sae sair it was pariah.: with Ittibin Adair. Sidney Cooper and David Roberts are both represented by characteristic works, and the same may be said of Red , grave and Creswick. John Phillip has one picture here, but that one is a splendid specimen, a half-length figure of a Spanish woman, painted with extraordinary boldness. We hardly remember any example of colouring by this master at once so daring and so harmonious in the opposition of the colours selected for the drapery of the figure. It is putting Mr. W. C. T. Dobson's picture (75), "The Fire Gatherer," to a severe teat, to turn to it immediately after leaving Mr. Phillip's ; few pictures would bear it with advantage ; and certainly Mr. Dobson's will not, any more th►n one of Sir C. Eastlake', would. There is great merit in the picture here exhibited ; it is indeed one of the very best be Las ever painted, rich in colour, harmonious in tone, and pervaded by real sentiment, but it lacks what we must venture to call manly strength ; it is all sweetness—and cloys. Before putting down the catalogue, we may call attention to (LW), "San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice," by Mr. J. B. Pyue. This picture is worthy of being better hung, and is interest. Mg as affording something like a promise of an improved style of colouring by this excellent painter. For a long time past his pictures have appeared "chalky" in tone. In the present work there is no such fault ; the sky especially is painted with a warmth and transparency that leave little to be desired. The water, again, is capitally painted. We re gret that the composition of the picture is not equally satis factory with the painting. The foreground, on the right of the spectator, we think • mistake; it wants breadth and repose to be in keeping with the rest of the picture, the op posite side of which is excellent. The sea views of Mr. E. Hayes, of the Irish Academy, deserve attention for the knowledge of nature which their execution indicates ; there is • real salt water look about their breaking waves that nothing but • likeness to nature can give. The fault of thie painter is a certain artificiality of composition ; his piece of wreck, or fisherman's boat, is mostly too judiciously placed, —he does not sufficiently value the accidental s& • source of picturesque effect. THE STRIKE IN SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. At a recent meeting of the council and friends of the Working Men's College at Wolverhampton, adder the presidency of Lord Dartmouth, the Recorder of Wolves.. hampton (Mr. J. J. Powell, q.c., and M.Y. for Glouces ter) concluded his address to the working classes with these observations: I know that there are even now some persons so mistaken as to suppose that it does not conduce to the public benefit that working men should he educated, and I regret to learn from a statement of Lord Lyttelton that many greet em ployers of labour io this and a neighbouring county have withdrawn their subscriptions from some educational institutions upon the ground that it makes the working men die patented with their lot in life, and more exacting in tbeir demands for the wages of labour. I entirely concur iu the Admirable remarks of Mr. Lloyd in reference to the ignorance of the working classes, and, indeed, I am afraid we may say the ignorance of the public generally, as to the plain and simple elements of political economy. It would well become anybody, especially working men, to study that subject, arid I would most emphatically recommend those who withdrew their sulecriotione from educational institu tions front the fear that education makes working men dis contented— I say I would emphatically recommend those gentlemen to turn their attention to the study of political economy. (Hear, hear.) If only masters and working men were properly educated such disturbances of the labour market. these this district and other districts are at pre soot suffering from would never occur. (Cheers.) Without in the slightest degree entering into the merits of the question between the workmen and their employers in this neighbourhood —a question, indeed, which Ido not understand, and on which 1 .m not competent to express; an opinion —I will say that the barbarous custom of resort ing to what are called strikes to settle disputes between mestere and men as to the rate at which the one shall buy and the other shall sell labour is a disgrace to the civiliza tion of the age. (Applause.) There never was a strike and , there never will be a strike, that was Dot or will not be die- • estrous both to masters and to men, and the melancholy feature of the matter is this—that there is not the least necessity for the great evils which arise from these strikes, evils which °steed tar beyond the parties immediately concerned, evils injuriously affecting the workmen's Moe cent wives and families, aid indeed, all the members of the community. (Applause). I will show why there is no necessity for such evils. In this country we are not much accustomed to think the French superior to our selves ; we are very loth to admit that such is the case, but there is no question that in this particular matter the French are far in advance of us. Strange to say, from the earliest ages —(it is not the result of modern political economy)—but from the earliest ages io France there hey, existed institutions called " Consetle des Prud'boniness " the duties of which councils are to inquire into and adjudi cate upon dispute. between meters sod workmen on the subject of wages, and the plan punned is as simple as possible. Is every district, and with referee°, to every class of trade and manufacture in that district, a cowed is appointed, the masters electing three members sod the men Dore. A president is chosen to preside over their discus sloes. if the sierisioo of the council be not acquiesced in, an appeal lies to the Chambers of Commerce, but, as I as certeioed, when in Paris a few weeks ago, although on an average 4,000 or 5,01.10 cases ere annually brought before the council in that city alone, appeals are almost, if not quite unknown. Thus that large number of cases is settled be tween the masters and men without soy disturbance or diffi culty whatever. (Applause.) And what estranger still is that, although these councils have power to adjudicate, end although by law the adjudication Mgr be made au binding upon the parties, es would be the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction between litigant parties io this country, vet so admirably is the eaten' managed that out of these 4,000 or VICO eases, of which three-fourths relate to wages alone. the great majority are not adjudicated upon at all, but settled by the conciliatory action of the council. I trust some of the working men will hear what I my, not because! say it, hut because I thisk they must use at once that the way I have described is a much mom rational way of settling their disputes with their masters than by resorting to the terhamos end expensive practice of a strike. I pie some the workman wants only what is fair, acid I presume the master only wants what is fair, and if as, why not resort to some such system as exists in France to settle their differ. sties, instead of Being on in the absurd way in which they have been going on lately to their own detriment and the injury of everybody else. ( ppleuse ) not suppose that what I have said is foreign to the subject before the meeting, or of the resolution I have to propose, because it strikes me they are intimately connected. I believe it is by the agency of such institutions as this college that we can aloes look for the enlightenment that will adopt such a course as I have suggested ; and as it would be equally for the benefit of masters and men, all ought to com►ine to maintain this and similar colleges. I trust that they will do so, sad that in the result they may feel and enjoy with the rest of the people of this country— The softening arts of Peace, Whateer the humanising Mimeo teach The godlike wisdom of the temper'd breast Progrewilve truth, the patient force of thought ; Invrstigation calm, whose elk:4A go • Cr. Command the world . the light that leads to Heaven . Kind equal rule, the go,eromefil of laws And ell protecting Prre,l„m. which alone Sustains the name and dignity of Man. (Applause.) I have great pleasure in proposing "That this meeting warmly roomettes the benefits arising from sound education among all classes of the community ea one of the best moans of promoting order, good•fellownhip and Prugtose."
