(Much applause.) The subject of this introductory lecture has been chosen at once from a profound conviction of its importance, and a belief that this is ...wag wee for urging it upon public attention. A few years ago the lecturer would have begun by proving that the education of all dames was a good thing. The lecturer of the present day may assume that it is not only good, bat necessary for the well-being, prvbsops even for the existence, of mociety. lie need epemi no time in showing that the moral end intellectual culture of all, is the only radical meson of correcting the material inequalities of social life. By its aid our start ling contrasts of unbounded luxury and craving want, of 'Rational wealth and iudivid at pauperism, of wise enlightenment and darken goorance, cannot mooned be removed, but most be materially dimi nished . It is admitted that education, adequately conceived, implies Mooned forosight, more BliPtainCtl industry, more cheerful content ment. All these, political economy admits to be of matcria' and mea surable value. We have reached the etage at which in this country we are perwied in expectine that something may be dose. The atoll small ro.ces of ioolated wisdom have swelled into the note that roaches the public ear; the peers has taken up the cry • societies are active; differences dinoppear; blue books thicken; public money is granted ; the minister has dropped a hint ; expectation stands on tiptoe. Some thing must be el me tic education. There is one thing, however, to be remarked: the education of which we hear so much goes under the nameof whom/ eduattion. But we must not understand by tide teem "education of the nation." It means only the education of a part of this nation—its lower and lowest classes. It answers to what nt called " primary nitoution " in other countries. It does not con template the instruction of the middle and higher class amongst no. Ttl'ul is tacitly supposed to be already provided for. But before we consent to limit our efforts to what are technically ended " the masses," we must be certain that those above them stand in no need of our interterence. Is this the came! To suggest an anewer to this question is the principal aim of the present lecture. What are the provisions for education of the higher, middle, and lower chases, in England 1 The training of the higher class begins with the nursery governess, posensto the private tutor, or fashionable private school. This is its penury stage. The secondary stage is reached at one of the great endowed or public schools - Eton holding the nest rank, followed by Winchester. Westminster, Harrow, and Rugby. In this portion of his career, the noble or wealthy youth is still generally aided by private tuition. This part of his education may be said to close at eighteen or nineteen. Ile now parses to Oxford or Cambridge, and, if a nobleman or tanquam nobilis," obtains hie degree of Master of Arts in his eighth tram of actual residence; if neither noble nor "toinquam" noble, that of bachelor in his eleventh. Thus the formal educatoon of this clam doses generally at 21 or 22, and is by far the most expensive course of me class of any country in the world. What is embraced in this long red costly prusess of Instruction, imparted to those who are to form the landed sentry, the magistracy, and the legislators of the empire! The nursery governess toys the foundation of reading and writing, ad, alien she poen:sees that unfemanoic accomplishment, of arith metic. Parents oil the higher dims are often too much occupied by the movements or hotness of their Use., such as it is, to devote much stenti.n to their °tearing.

But, with bail exception, little is attended to except the coo -1 strung of certain Latin authors, the committing to memory n certain I minder of lines from Ovid, Virgil, and Ilmoce, the elanimting of singularly common-place Latin terms, and the spinning of monotonoue Latin verses. More attention is now paid to Greek construing and composition (Ilan traO teronerly the case ; and it is probable, from the character of the masters of tote vans furnished by King's College, tmetridge, that this study won be carried mill further, and with striete an 1 mere comprehrioive scholarship.

One may appeal to the Iwo:lecterns of all who have spent much time in either of our principal univemitist, whether a very large proportion of the wealthier student. did not enter them unealu cued, and leave them, to all mete! intents, in the same condition. The youth of the middle clues comprise two orders, those intended for the teemed protections, and those destined to the naval and military per vices,commeretetrade, and °User pursuite, not coneidered to require hie h Intellectual cultivation. For the education of the trot order we have the large public schoole already described, other endowed and grammar Pelmet% proprietary gime% and the higher clam of boarding-schools; for that of the wood a cheap and inferior variety of the suns genus of establishment. The education given in many of our grans maratchoob to confined almost entirely to Latin and Greek. itespect for the intention,' of the founder is pleaded as a reason for not ex tending the range of instruction in such echool.. In such cues, though there can be no reasonable doubt that the spirit of those Intentions is violated by the very adbennee to their letter, there exists no pewee to compel alteration except in the legislature. Grammar schools were either designed by their founders for the chil dren of their own district, or were open to all who chose to go to them. In mot mem they were intended primarily for the poor and indigent of the population; ftecesehonle in the real some of the term; but admitted a certain number of "foreigner,'," that is, pupae from other parte, as boarders. This privilege has been much abutted, and mist of them schools, giving an education now suited only to the upper claw., hare coved to afford any bruefit to the poor for whose behoof they were intended. The most comprehensive remedy of the abuses and mismanagement of ouch achools would he the State's interference by a general measure, remodelling them where neeemary, without too strict attention to the terms of the original bequeot. The object of the donor wifia food one. But the mean. he Instituted are no longer efficient to attain it. Two things mug be revered by State interference with these schools,— a good emote of etudies anal efficient maiden.. It might be necemary to divide ouch catabliehmeate, according to the gate of their locality and their reernose, into thereat claeses—the highest to teach Latin ' and Greek with other things, while in others the learned itutPlages should be replaced by something more useful to the scholars that would attend them. Such a measure, it is hardly necessary to add, should be carried out cautiously, and only on careful inquiry. In the pre e n ietary schools a more intelligent conception inapparent in the :Mend at to mathematics, history, and living at, well as dotal lan guages. These ochnols, most of which have grown op within the last ten years, are markel improvements on the old grammar rebook on the one hand, and the common boarding-AL-hoots on the other. The Intellectual instruction imparted in the latter is often of the most wretched order. nary puttees to prepare youth for the univereitiee, as well as for commercial occupations. Their apparatus is equaliy worthtese, in nine out of ten cases, fur both purposes. For the one, ten or twelve years arc resent in learning Latin anal Greek very badly ; in thematic. and modern languages still worse ; geography. Ligon., and natural philosophy not at all. Of course there are marked exceP tions to this unfavourabte judgment. But they only serve to make the general deficiency more apparent. In the commercial education of ouch schools, the Latin and Greek are not carried quite.. far; perhaps the latter is not entered upon. la its place Le substituted a modern lanruage, probably French, too often taught by an utterly illiterate native—more attention Is paid to arithmetic, especially those eminently worthless parts an which gounder the Mysterlo4l4 maimed tare and tret, mitigation, mato and hew°, demount and barter flaug= and so "through some dozen of commercial relate, reducible on p pie to three at most, and these unconnected, illiiarranged, and in nine eases out of tea, utterly wake, to the peace whet know, them." AU this is model on without the least attempt at explaining the pried plot contained in the rule.. " Many instructors, it h been mid by a competent authority, " If placed In the temple of truth, would be oblieed to ask, ' flow Khali 1 teach what I do not know !'

Similar absurdities to those involved in this method of temehine what is styled cyphering. recur in the instructions given at such schools In ecometry, better known as "Euclid," anal Algebra. Of aubjecte reallv Important in commercial ' education, such as phi-deal geography, the economy of trades and m inufeetures. the ponCiples of international anal commercill law, no trace appears Ia sChnolit of this clans. (Applauth.) There is a Mill lower order of commercial boarding retool., which have been truly described as very often "mere ergaguin," to which boys are sent out of the way, to be boarded anal Matched at 20f. al year. The attainments or occupations of parents In this class °Mil itarily prevent them from forming any opinion of the proems ma le by their children. The merits of the school are deft:Taunted by the shortness of the vocations, and the ornate penmanship of the half. yearly hill.

It is not ea, to describe the education of the lower and lowest class, re as to satisfy all parties. This department of the subject has re ceived much attention for the last few venni. Even a certain State superintendence and aid, by granta of public money, have been afforded It, on a entailer wade, from 1833 to 1839, and on an annually-increm. lag one since that year. Schools receiving aid from t'te,e grant, are subject to the Inepetaion of officials appointed for that purpoth by the Oemmittee of Council of Education. Their reports Mouth us with them. fit trustworthyeridence ae to the education of the hover orders in the two grad climes of school.—the National, In connexion with the Church of England; annul the British and Foreign, professing to admit children of all setae, =al using no catechism in their ingrue. lion.

But it is of compatatively little Importance whether ' , chattel accommodation exist for one in ten or One in twelve whether it should be afforded 10 one in nine, or ona in six. It is important to know whether the school' which 11 , , emit, are filled ; and how far, if they are net, this is owing to the quality of instruction given in Mein. Nothing ean be more fallarioue than to estimate ,ehool attendance lay the amount of school accommodation. Let its take the midland district of the Government inspection, which includes Chester, Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leicester, Wattrick, and Northampton, a mixed agricultural and manutehtring population, and therefore giving a tolernbly fair overage for the whole of England. The Itev. Henry Mondry states, that " in Si wheals sitting by Lim in 1844, erected to contain 11,147 children, and to provide for the educational wants of an aggregate population of 247,199, he found 6,351 children resembled. The schools were thus only foureseventhe full, anal but 1 in 3.5 of the whole population for whame benefit they were intended was under instruction in them. In 44 of the echuole which the same inspector rioted in 1013, erected or a population of 21'4,014, and providing accommodation for 10,317 children, he found 4.165 absent bled. lins3 of the population, only, therefore, availed themselves of these echoed% although I out of every I was of an age to go to school from 3to 13), and the reheat. were only half-full. It is gra- Wring to find, however, that this indifference on the pert of parents arm ee lees from their own want of education than from the miserably Insufficient gate of the wheels open to their children. Mr. Moseley actures u. that when the education of in the %thole has been rendered thoroughly efficient, or when en Impression, whether true or Glee, hae Wee produced on the minds of the parent. that it was so, he hie. invariably found their indifference to be removed. It la, he believes, the concurrent experience of per- POIVI interracial is education, that where a really good rehool is offered to the labouring claw., they are ready to make some thcrifice to secure for their children the benefits which It offers. . . Until a very recent period, we dare not say that parenta stye 1 Inexcusable for this apparent neglect. The mulifications and claims of an old-fashioned elementary schoolmaster were very often on a par with tho-e of the Alsatian instructor of youth questioned by Stouter, the pmleernor of Oberlin, in the Ban de la Ito Me. stouter began his pastoral office by reforming the village schonta. The 'rind!" d eatablishaient for the elementary in of the district 1 , 11. a mirmbe cottage where a number of children were crowded together, wild and noisy, and without occupation. The schoolmaster, a withered old man, lay on a little bed in the metier of the room. The following dialogue took place between St other and this functionnry • What do you teach the children P " ' Nothing, 'sir.' " • Nothing! How is that " Because I know nothing myself.' " ' Why then were you instituted achoolmaater P " Why, sir, I had . been taking care of the Waldbach pia, for a great numier of years, and when I got too old and infirm for that employment, they rent me here to take care of the children." (Much laughter.) We will not dwell long on elementary education. The subject is likely to receive sufficient attention in more important quarters The government inspection has already produced remarkably good effects. Various normal schools now exist for the education of elementary schoolmasters though there are gill inautlicient to supply the number of maters that would be required, if elementary education were in • ratiafartory state. The average instruction given in ouch schools in the midland oounties is still confined to a little very imperfect read ing, often only in one book, the New Testament; writing in copybooks for one-fourth of the pupils, a little arithmetic for one third—of whom about a fourth learn the four simple rules, one fifteenth the compound rides, and one fifty-third have advanced a* far as the rule of three. One ninth may be taught geography. but this by rote, and in a way little likely to awaken the intelligence, w rectal aphy, pro perly taught, may do, beyond any other branch of in The use of the Scriptures as the sole leading book ; the employment of monitor*, often as ignorant as the class they instruct ; the prevailing habit of teaching worth., without impressing their meaning; with the utter want of any industrial training; tend to keep our elementary schools below the level of usefulness, to which, with better and more numerous masters, they might coolly be raised. There is, however, a dawn of improvement in these schools, such as we can hardly be said to see in those of higher pretensions. The lower classes in Eng land bid fair to be better educated for their station, as far as formal instruction goes, than the wealthier and higher orders. Inoaleulable as are the benefits likely to flow from intelligent cultivation of this clan, they can not be realised without corresponding improvement in the training of the middle and higher ranks. It is their knowledge and practice which shape the lot of those below them in the social scale, and we should the more in on the deficiencies in ther instruc tion and the remedies for them, that there MeTllll a danger of these being overlooked In the demand for elementary education. I hare now taken a rapid surrey of the existing means of school education in England. It is not within my plan to notice those moans of 'supplementary education, ouch as mechanics' and literary institutes museums, and similar aids to self-culture, nor the all-pen 4 ading tau encei of the =the bininee of life and political institutions, though these two mar be said, in one sense, really to carry on edueation In this country. I hare spoken generally, because it is the general nature of formal educational means that it Is intended to lay before son. Before we can estimate their merits or faults we must have some sten- Jard to :L.:war, thorn Wz cast ha:: .tmeeption what elo cution is before we can determine if the machinery for it exists and is at work in this country. Education, roughly defining it, is the draw ' tug out the faculties at the whole man, in obedience to reason, with a view to the gate of life he is likely in ordinary circumstances to fill. It is beat divided under the •hree beads of phYsical, moral, and In tellectual education, addreased respectively to the body, the will, and the reasoning faculty in man. Of these moral education Ma been properly dercribed as "the foundation and the teat not only of every aystem of inatruclion, but of the whole nodal edifice. The first thing that strikes na in the present day, when we reflect upon domesto education, and colonially that of whorls, in their eel ition to the formation of morels, is either the total want of such achoola or their insufficiency with reference to thin object. We do net speak of a apeculatire and purely Intellectual inenlcadon of rurality. We do not nay that the edueation which is obtainel in honriling-schools en tirely neglect, to instruct us what we ought to do and what we o gbt to avoid. It is quite tree that our memory is charted with the names of a great 'miry vices and virtnes and that we are told something of the evils which result from site sad the happineas which proceed* from virtue, with the motive s which we hare for atigaining from the one and for practiahme the other. But this iagroction is extremely imperfect. Many actions are recommended an good which are indif ferent or really bad. Many motives are *soigne I to good actions which are either inautficient or vicious- Thia mode of instruction, however, does exist, and, right or wrong, we exercise oar talents on morality in the same way that we exercise them on a multitude of other subjects. But it is only our talent. that we thus exercise. It is, if you please, a pert of the I education of the understanding a branch oi • coarse of philo sophy—but It It nothing more : tee impressions we receive In relation to this do net extend tr our eilt—we are not taught to practise') the goal which we are taught to comprehend—in a were, the great thing that education neglects is the formation of character one morals., Ogg edirotten, sorb se it Is, be compelling us to perform a attain work, reeessanly inculeace certain yirtuee. Every kind of Ithmer requires us to have a certain command over ourselves ( exercises ow patience in o emitter or less degree, and makes es acquire habits of activity, application, and a tort of regularity. Besides, education e at not develope our sensitive and intellectual faculties, without, at the some time, acting indirectly upon our wills. It cannot awaken grad feelings in us without exciting us to do good. We also admit that this education Ls not absolutely confined to telling to what we ought to do. We are stimulated also to put it in practice by a more or less judicious custom of pride, or blame, reward or punishment. The Renee circumstance of the poplin they a wheel living torten:ea has, to a certain extent, the effect of reforming that which is violent or unjust in their wills, for each of the pupils it more or less restrained by the rest, and obliged to check hie evil disposition.. The result of education, then, it to render our habits more or ism moral, though it does not directly keep that object in view. But what we condemn in nth pre:reels that it does not make the formation of our moral habits a special object, became it doe. not subject the will an it does the understanding, to regular exercise, and does not reduce Nie -1 tee to a science like knowledge,"—by the practice of vir.uousactinties, habits of self-examination, cad a ml religious discipline, as distinct from committing to memory unexplained forme, and practicing exter nal observances. Ail this is at present neglected In most schools In !gland, Is It any wonder, when we consider the average character and attainments lof Dab masters and amistants,—points totally overlooked by . moat parent, in choosing a school for their ceildren? "By exercising a careful choice of masters; by showing gratitude and respect to mas ters and aseistante, who deserve such consideration; and by impress ing Ruch feelings on their children, regents merht do much for the amelioration of the schools in which their children we Mundell." (Applause.) On the part of mestere, their superintendence, eitber personal, or through trusted and trustworthy assistants, should extend as well orer the hours of sleep and relax ation, as over those of instruction; and elosilication of pupils according to age should be carried out in el three. As thing. are now, perhaps), the more liberty that is left to boys the better. Ordi nary masters know no raethed of retaining and exercising authority, but through feet. When this is the ease, such a euperintendence an is suggested would make the bulletins-wheel a little hell. But it is a lementable mate of things that, from the incapacity of instructors, boys should be driven to ouch caprieieus self-reed:then us alone is possible to their age and habit.. This miechice is most apparent in our largest schools: and whatever plaueible arguments may be ad duced by the advocates of the fagging at stem, there can be no doubt that the secret annals of Long-chember at Emu, and the Dormitory at Westminster, could produce Instance, of tyranny, on the 011 e hand, ; and nuflthing on the other, as fatal to the character of tyrant and victim as anything recorded of Eastern despotisms, (Much applause.) Next in import: owe to moral, is intellectual discipline. lion far is this secured by our modern school engem ! That m Meal directs itself almost exclusively to the cultivation of the leernel languages. Few will deny, on due consideration, and with proper knowledge of the sueject, that these languages, studied under competent masters, and with constant reference to wreck' distinct objects, do furnish the best intellectual diethline fir encountering the begone; of rife which we possess. But they met be studied systematically, and the teacher must be a per with very different conce ptions of his work, and knowledge of his subject, from tbnseof the clam now assuming the title dela-deal instructors.

What I represents this proem in ordinary schools, is, we need hardly sir , I without any of its aevantagee.

In our se - etein of elementary education, if that can be calked system which Le entirely weyetemetie, there are as glaring defects in forth moral and intellectual training as disgrace our higher schools. But the Weigh of the sslject is under direugion in so many quarters, that I may be excused from dwelling upon it here. The question naturally summits itself: is there a remedy or set of remedies for this condition of our erhathe, swop-eine it to be as burl m has been represented ! If so, where is it to be looked he! The mot of the nifschiefe complained of is in the ignorance and int-enmity of masters, which are maintained and sheltered by the absoluee want of intercommunication among those engaged in tuition, and of that unity which creates systematic actien and run only itself he produml by the operation of eitite external lower. That power moot re.ile in the State. Tlie interference of the state mint be directed to the education of mancr fur their meet onerous duties, the registration of those duly qualified, the eetiblishment of government schools in certain districts throughout Engiand, the regular inspection of thaw ghouls, and communication of the result. of the inepection to schoolmasters and the public. In fact, government should do much In the matter of masters and training establishments for the higher and commercial eitrenes, which It is now urged by almost all parties to do for elementary school. , only. Such a proposal is yore to be received with opposition and ahem, basest not early on self-interest or bigotry, but on et/M111 , 41, confused, notions of the limits of civil and religious liberty, even among earnest friends of education. The following considerations of a precise and enlightened author, already quotnl, may aid in dissipating alarm, and fixing tire bounds within which individual liberty and government control re.pectively ace " man has two distinct relation+, or classes of relations, to wards tie state : one comprehends his dune" as a citizen, wherein he is, or ought to be, wholly • uninainate to the state; the other compre. bends all his functions as a producer and enjoyer of wealth, wherein he hes, or ought to have, ail freedom that is not inconsintent with the proper diech.uge of his duties as a citizen." Now, if we contemplete the schoolmaster as one who is to form eitiz.tat for the due discharge of their social and political functions, it is clear he should be subordinate to the State in so doting. But, looked at as predwer of wealth, he has a right to be left so free In the exercise of his pursuits as the pub: ie interests will permit Ilds is the limit to his freedom. It is expressly to fix these limits, and pude* those who overstep them, that the society called a State exists. In exercise of the implied right given by the vital =enmity of maintaining these restrictions, the State requires the lawyer and the pevecian to go through a certain course of profegional eduartion, and imposes penalties for practising their pretensions without haring done so. On the same principle, it confines noxious and dangerous teaks to certain localities, and compels builders to comply with ce. taro regulations as to the building) thee erect. And it fa precisely on the mine ground that the State may claim, and, had it aced consistently and wisely, would long ago have claimed, the right to require that scheelmaster;shonkl go thronen a suitable course of Instruction, or at least prom their qualifleatione to edue ne by submitting to an examination from per sons competent to pronounce upon them. It bats been argued that the State his no right to direct eduedien, because if it have it rale logic illy assert that of directing religious teaching. This, it n said, would be destructive of "religions liberty." There Is, however, a distinction to be drawn here. Religion, as religion, is not the business of the Mate. (Great applauere The Slate of which we are members, for example, tolerates in its different sub jects not only Christian, but Jewish, llindoo, Mahometan, and other turns of faith. While it does so, it cannot be called Chris tian. But neither is it anti-Christian. It is true that Christianity is intimately blended with all our private ways of thought, our public institutions, our social systems. And this is good reason why the State should not meddle with the matter. (Applause.) "Christianity has rooted itself more deeply titan any legislation can do. It pervades all society ; its influence is above law ; it is a truth indisputable,—a truth which no man in his senses can deny, that modern mailiedion is Christian ; and that, if all state eetablisernents of religion were Alt} tidied, Christianity woull exist in the minds of the greet mass of the nation, and would be taught and propagated by zealous teachers. (Great applause.) If, then, Cluistianity pervades the mass of a nation. the political system, the government, cannot oppose Christianity, and It need not he identified with it. Christianity, though one thing as contrasted with MohammeeLinion or other religions, is not sae in itself. There arc numerous seers: all profs Christithity, but all differ among themselves in mine mattersof faith and ceremony. If all are allowed to differ, and all are allowed to protean Christianity se they choose, it is an idle thing to speak of a Christtui state if we understand thereby that the State is to be considered both a rat: z rcligt:fix bony. :t involvm a cantratholon sae State cannot be Christian In any given form without tring op posed tothase who are Christians in a different form. It follows, that In a State water,• all forms of Christianity are allowed, the State is not Christian; and It gives, or ought to give, no more encouragement to one farm of Christianity than to another. It allows to all the free ex ercise of their religion ; it subjects all alike to the wane rules and re straints; it gives its aid rand encourni,,ment to all on equal terms. The practical consequeneen of this must be, that whatever remains there may be in an old state of the identity of a Church and State, or, as it is sof uctimes expressed, onion of Church and State, the coons of events, if it proceed. , onwards in the game direction, must, in time, efface every trace of this union." (Much app Louse.) These considera tions indicate the grounds on which a State may coreaistently refrain from interference with religious teaching, while vet at claims the con trol of Its clocators, as of Its lawyers and plavnicians It lino con cern of the State, as a state, that a member of it should be Christian rather than Mthomcton, or belong to one rather than another of the many Christian denom tione ; hot It is a vonorrn or tho Mate thin all its member., as far as posatee, should, If rich, be acquainted with their duties, and habituated to fulfil them—if poor, should be frugal, self remmtlnx, patient, Industrious, rational, unnenniull in their pleasures, affectionate and orderly In their homes. It depends mainly on sound moral and intellectual education whether they shall be all this or the reverse. And the Christianity that in diffused through all social fife will not WI to impresa Itself on every educational lawmen, though catechisms and collects be excluded from our schools.

If it be argued that these acts were paned when the royal prerogative was strained to a point from which it hae long made', we may refer to the republican cantons of Switzerland and the free states of North America, which have both taxed themselves for this laudable purpotie. Resides the unity of plan and completeness of organization which government control could not fail to confer on schools, the necessity of such interference is demonstrated by the condition and character of our schools under the operation of the voluntary principle. They are emully Inefficient and expenave. On the score of economy we should be direct gainers by the establishment of a store uniform system, with masters trained in government normal schools, suppoi ted by local rates.

J. 31 ills, Deputy Coroner for Middlesex, concluded, at the Rcd House Tavern, College street, Chelsea, a lengthened inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Elizabeth Cotton, daughter of a respectable grocer, who died under circumstances involving serious charges against the management of the Itoyel Sea- Bathing Infirmary at West Brook, Margate. The inquiry hal been twice adjou ned previously. On one of these occasions the Deputy Coroner remarked that the case was an important one, the Royal Sea-Bathing Infirmary contain ing at the present time morathan 200 patients, and receiving annnal subscriptions to the amount of 2,000 f.; having fur its patrons, vice-patrons, presidents, and vice-presidents, sic., a long list of royal, noble, and distinguished names, at the head of which are her Majesty, its treasurer being Alderman Gibbs. It has a board in London of 21 medical gentle men, who have power to send patients, many of whom live in Landon, and when we see that the institution contains so many patients, some of whom are at a distance of 99 miles from their friends, it becomes our duty to go most fully and sAirthingly into the inquiry. Mr. John Cotton deposed that he was the father of the de ceased, who was fifteen yearn and six months old. Deceased died at witness's house, at nine o'clock, p.m., on Friday, the 2511 x of September. She came home from the Sea-bathing Infirmary at Margate on Wednesday, the 16th of September, having been there fifteen weeks. Her mother fetched her home. Mr. Godrich, surgeon, of Little Chelsea, saw her within two hours after her arrival. Mr. Godrich had seen her on the Monday, fifteen weeks before, and he attended her up to her death. Mr. Godrich on that occasion brought Mr. Warder, another surgeon to look at deceased's hack. Deceased went to the infirmary at Margate for a distortion of the spine, on a letter from her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, obtained through Mr. Godrich of Archdeacon Sinclair, Vicar of Kensing ton. Witness paid ss. 91 per week for her board, lodging, and washing. When she went there she was in good health, but too weak to walk. Witness went down to see her once. He found her sitting on an easy chair on the lawn. She then appeared in worse health than she was before. She com plained to witness of the food she had there, and said she could not cat the gruel, and •hat they would not let her have milk and water instead of it, unless she bought it with her own money. The broth also she could not eat, she said. By the Deputy Coroner : Deceased had laid on her hack fur six mouths and a fortnight by the recommendation of Mr. White, a surgeon, who attended her before she went to Margate. She was then apparently quite well. When witness saw her at Margate she was mach more feeble than before. EverytWng beyond the hospital diet had to be got at the patient's own expense. Deceased said the gruel did not agree with her. She did not complain of the quality of the gruel Deceased asked witness fur money to get food which the infirmary did not provide. The officers of the infirmary, when she wastaken there, demanded two months' payment iu advance, and had he net so paid the money, he would at the time she made those statements to him have brougnt her back with him. Did not see the wounds on her hack tiil the coroner and jury saw them. lier mother begged him not to do so. When deceased came back home she told witness the infirmary was not a comfortable place, and that when she could not ea' anything they toll her she might, have what she liked, but when she asked for a chicken they said they could not get it. Mr. Francis Guirich, surgeon, of Thistle-grove, Little Chelsea, deposed that he procured the letter for her ad mission into the infirmary as had been stated. About two years previous, the father of deceased asked witness to see his daughter, who was very ill. He saw her, and finding that it was a scrofulous disease, he told Mr. Cotton that he was afraid that the case would be alingering one, and would be attended with great expenses. Ile subsequently got her into St. George's Hospital, and, after she left there, he got her into another hospital. When she came hack from Mar , gate, he saw her again at the request of the father, and I examined her back, where he found a wetted which she said was the effect of a bed-pan, which had been placed under her hack That she took to her bed on the 3rd of September, at which time she had no sore hack nr tendency to it, or even pain there, not having before that kept her bed a single day. She then, after five or six dis applied to the nurse for a bed pan, which was given her, but it was not removed, except at night and morning to be emptied, for three days, and she had then dreadful sores on her back, and that she told the nurse of it, and afterwards the matron, when it was removed. Deceased also told witness that Mr. Field, the surgeon, had twice examined her back ; that she could not lie in leml, as it was most uncomfortable, being a hard straw bed. After Mr. Field's attention had been drawn to her back, it was dressed by the nurse with spermaceti ointment, and that she remained with the wound, which was attended with retentioa of urine, at the infirmary one week. The deputy coroner told Mr. Ostrich that what the deceased stated to him was not legal evidence, unless she felt at the time that she could not recover, and was dying. Mr. Godrich said his firm belief was, that when she told him that, she was convinced she could not recover. The deputy coroner said what the deceased had told him, might help to guide him in his opinion on the case ; but it was not legal evi dence. By the deputy coroner: When he saw the de ceased the first evening after her return, he found the had six wounds upon her person, one being on the spine; but the far largest one was on the issuer part of the right thigh. There were also two wounds on each hip. They were all distinct wounds, and had a bed-pan been put to it they would have been found to have formed the curve of it. He immediately saw, when she came home in that condi tion, that it was a hopeless ewe, and only ordered her bark and wine, and other strengthening things. When he first saw the wounds they were as one wound, extending nearly to the bone. Had since made a post ;torten' examination of the body, which has been reduced to writing.—The con elusion was this : From the peculiar situation and relative position of these wounds, we cowhide that they were not produced by irine on a Cot surface, but by the pressure of a ring of some hard substance against her person, and we COMIII(V, from the absence of morbid appearances in nay of the viscera, that bee death was caused by the wounds above dews shed." . . By the Deputy-Coroner: Did not examine the spine or spinal cord. The Deputy-Coroner here explained to the jury that in such cases, for the want of vitality in the parts, where them was any pressure, sores would occur. rhea. would even occur from cold water, rags, and were therefore more likely to do so from a hard substance. . Mr. A. W. Warder deposed that he agreed in the state ment which had been read, and with the evidence and opi nions of Mr. Godrich. Mr. Alfred George Field deposed that he was surgeon to the Royal Sca-bathing Infirmary at Margate. Srw the deceased after her admission. She had curvature of the spine, and paralysis of her loins. There was no other dis tinct sign of scrofula. The infirmary is instituted for scrofu lous diseases, and such other as can be bore itecl by a resi dence at the sea-side. At first, she being exceedingly weak, witness directed her bathing and tonics. Saw her daily in going his rounds. Witnets's attention was called particularly to deceased after her father's visit to her, wh:n she was seized with erysipelas in her face. She had always been on a bed from the time of her admission. Deceased never made any remark v - ittirse about her di'et. Might 'ace had the gruel altered had she complained of it. When the erysipelas occurred her diet was al.ered. Was not con sulted about a bed-pan being put under her. It was the place of the nurse to do it. Did not know there had been a bed-pan until his attention was called to her back. Deceased was dressed every day. On the 2nd of September she was taken with crisypelas. Could not sal what day his attention was first drawn to her hack. He was told of it by the head nurse, Anne Perrin. When he examined it saw no appearance of wound. There was only excoriation of far skin. Prescribed some alkalies. She was very much lowered by the erilypelas. Attributed the exerriatton of the skin to hie intinencr which she had had. Lying on straw beds is cooler than feathers. It is only summer institution, and is closed in winter. When he vi-ited deceased, saw no bed.pau, or marks of one. Did not know then that one had been used. First heard of the bed-pas haying been used by a letter he received from Mr. Godrich atter the deceased's removal. It was the ditty of the nurses to have told him Examined deceased the day before she left, on the morning of the 16th of Sep tember. There were actual sloughs, but the skin had not separated. Thought them serious wounds, and likely to prove Mud. Witness had directed the steward td writo to her friends, and to leave it to their discretion whether they removed her or not, which he did. That was after he was aware of the injury to her back. Mr. Gode.ch, iu answer to questions by the deputy coroner, said th it the wou n d s mus t h ave b een as bad for a day or two before as when he saw her alter her return. He could not believe that what he saw had occurred within 24 hours. It must be recollected that the muscles well all exposed down to the bone, and that eh, only lived nine days afterwards. Mr. Field's exam;nation resumed —When he examined deceased he did so minutely and carefully. She was not moved to a bed where there was a hu'e for a pan. His impression was that no bed-pan had been used, and that it was only from the pressure on the on eh bed. When she could not be removed, he ordered her to be provided with folded linen, to be put under her, and plenty of feather pillows were used to prevent the pres sure. Had no water beds; but if they had, the patients would not like them. Had no sir bed. Have plenty of linen to change, if soiled. Water beds would be available if they had them. Had been surgeon to the infirmary fur six months. The beds are rather crowded in the worth in the height of the season, and it would be advisable if they were less so. There was now not more than 100 patients at the close of the season ; but they accommodate 232 in the height of the season. Had no reason to think that a bed-pan had been used from what he saw, although he now knew that it had. Could not say what pillows—feather or straw pillows —were put under deceased, as he did not sec them, but told the nurses to put soft pillows. Sarah Fagg, the nurse who hail attended deceased, de posed that she did so under Mrs. Perren, the head nurse. Deceased while there always kept her bed. Ceuta not say when the bed-pan wax first used. Dee-eased requested to have it herself. That was two or three &lye after she had the erisypelas. There are only feather beds for the nurses, the others were all of straw. The pan was rather a deep one. She was placed on the bed with that under her. There was no flannel round the edge of the pan ; hut witness laid a linen cloth oa it. It was emptied two or three times in the day, and removed altogether at night, as it did not answer. There was a sort of red mark, from the pan, on her back when it was removed, but no sore of any kind. Called Mr. Field's attention to her back ; but could out say if de ceased was turned on her face several times. Dressed de ceased on the morning she left, with the assistant-nurse. There was no wouni then. The skin was not broken. Saw no wound underneath the deceasee's thigh. The spermaceti ointment was used three days before deceased left to cool her. All the beds are alike. There are no soap plasters for the back to preserve from injury. Straw pillows are used to nll the patients' beds. Did not know the length of the beds. The diet for breakfast was bread and butter and gruel, and good meat for dinner. They must buy tea and cuftee and things not provided by the infirmary.—By a Juror : The pillows were placed under her bed not because she com plained, but to make her comfortable. Mr. Godrieh recalled : There was no other wound on any part of deceased's body, or the faintest blush of pressure. Hannah Coteen, the mother of the deceased, corroborated her husband's statement, and in addition, stated, that when she took deceased down thet c, she drew the attention of the matron, in the presence of the nurse, to the shortness of the bed, as deceased's feet went over it and rested on the bed stead, when she promised it should be altered, but it never wee. When she went and fetched her home, her heels were black from being on the beepeets. She received no directions from the doctor to do anything to deceased's back. On her way home, deceased told her that the beef was so hard, and the mutton so fat, that she could nut eat it, and she used to change it for bread. Elizabeth Prater, a young woman, who was in the infir mary twelve weeks but a day, and left it; seen weeks age, deposed to deceased helping helping herself to the night stool, and said deceased's bed was too short by about four or five inches. The nurse could not make the bed without see ing that. Thought the head nurse more to blame than the witness Flag. The committee met once a fortnight, and went through the wards, but never questioned the patients. The meat wes fat necks of mutton, but nu cominittee days there was roast meat: and very good. The mutton consisted of leg and shoulders on that day ; they had only one other day in the fortnight roast meat ; the meat was always better on committee days than on other days. The deputy coroner then said that the result of the in quiries made at Margate, proved that the bed pan had been under deceased only one day, and that it wan removed two or three times during that day. The deputy-coroner then proceeded to sum up the evi dence, pointing out the points on which the jury would have to decide in their verdict, and concluded by saying he thought the committee ought to inquire into the facts elicited in the evidence, but not an inquiry like that lately held in St. Pancras, but an inquiry that would show them to be benevolent men, and that they were anxious to have the institution conducted properly. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of nearly threemuarters of an hour, on their re turn the foreman said the jury were unanimously of opinion "'That the cause of the death of Elie iheth Cotton was the consequence of the wounds caused by the injudicious use of a bed-pan, while in the Royal Sea Bathing Infirmary at Margate ; and the jury were further of opinion that there was gross neglect on the part of the surgeon and nurses of that establishment." Mr. Field complained of his being the only medical man included in the censure of the jury, when he had acted only under the directinns of the visiting physicians, Dr. Canham and Dr. Dennison.—The jury said it had never ap i scared in evidence that the physicians had seen deceased. They thought Mr. Field was a free agent in the matter. They could, however, state their reason why they censured hint if he wished it —The deputy-coroner stopped the argu ment, by deciding that the verdict could not he altered, as it hail been delivered and sign , d.—Toe jury expressed their thanks to Mr. Oodrich and Mr. %Vanier for their conduct in bringing the case before the public.—The inquiry then terminated. PUBLIC BATHS IN ST. GEoltlieS, EAST.—On Tues day afternoon, the vestry poll, which had been demanded relative to the adoption of baths and washhouses fur the poor in this parish, was closed, when a majority of 230 was de dared against the measure. This announcement was, we are told, received with " much cheering:* It is difficult to understand how, to have deprived the poor of the means of comfort and cleanliness for the sake of saving a paltry rate, can be made a subject of rejoicing or conirratulation. TREATMENT OF THE POOR IN ST. PANCRAS WORK- Rouse.—At the weekly meeting of the Board of Directors and Guardians of the poor of St. Pancras, held in the board room of the workhouse, on Tuesday, the following resolu tion was put : " The resolution of the vestry as to the man Whitt having been communicated to the board as follows: Resolved, that this sentry consider the reason assigned by Mr. L^e for dismissing the man Whitt from the carpenter's shop, is most unsatisfactory, frivolous, and absurd. This vestry do therefore respectfully request the directors will immediately cause this said man Whitt to be reinstated in his former occupation;' resolved, that this board concurs with the vestry in opinion that it was injudicious in Mr. Lee to have dismissed the man Whitt from Isis temporary employ ment under the circumstances in connexion with which that dismiss , d took place ; but this board, having regard to the paramount necessity of preserving order and subordination amongst the inmates of the workhouse, deem it inexpedient to reinstate the said man in his former occupation in the workhouse." After some angry discussion, Mr. Church warden Wagstaff proposed that the board consent to take the case of Whitt into further consideration, and that such de• termina•ion should be added to the resolution. The proposed addition having been 'assented to, the motion, as amended, was put from the chair and carried, and after disposing of some routine business, the board broke up. LORD NORTHAMPTON AND THE ROYAL SOCIETY. —Sir : )Iv attention having been directed to an article In the Lanett, full of mistakes and minstatements, I take the %malignity afforded to me by your columns, If you will give aie leave so to do, to contra dict the report that I have resigned the cake of president of the Royal Society. It is neither neceaary nor right for me to enter upon the other assertions containod in WA paragraph, but the well-known Let that I have long been anxious that the anniversary of the Itny.d Society should be held at a more convenient time thin the 30th of November. My obsemtions on that subject in my last year's address to the society, and the introduction of discussion an papers, sod of other changes during my presidency, and with my entire (anent renee, will show to the readers of the article in question how much accuracy they may expect In Its other statements. -I ani, Sir, your humble servant, NORTHAMPTON. —Peterborough, Oct. 13, MIS. THE DESECRATION Or TILE DEAD.—Some days back it was stated that a considerable number of human re. mains and fragments of coffins had been shot on the roads in the neighbourhood of Battle-bridge. The circumstance led to an inquiry, and inquiry has brought to light the following facts. It has been found necessary to enlarge St. Giles's workhouse, and in digging the foundation for the new buildings, behind the old workhouse, the workmen came on what appears to have been a disused and forgot ten burial-place. Before the fact was well ascertained some of the rubbish, containing the remains of the dead, was carted away and shot with other rubbish on some public thoreughfures. As noon, however, as the fact came to the knowledge of the guardians of the parish, and of the builder, care was taken to remove the rein-alai with de cency and propriety; and they have been, or are to be, removed to the St. Gilea's cemetery, St. Pancras-road. The bodies appear to have been very closely stowed in the ground, and not to have been more than four feet beneath the surface. The spot is now surround. .d with tenements very thieldy inhabited, and we are more surprised that people can exist at all in such a locality than that the neighbourhood is the abiding place of fevers and of other fatal diseases. Several hundred bodies have already been removed. The dates discovered on the coffins are the early part of last century-1728. A POLICEMAN DANGEROUSLY STAEtßED.—Yester day, shortly before two o'clock, Benjamin Wood, City Police.eonstable 526, was sitting at dinner with his wife, at their lodsri, tigs, Talhat-court, Gyeeelturch-syret, wheel , some words arose between them, which ended in the wife , throwing with great violence a sharply-pointed table-knVe, which struck him on the neck beneath the right ear. He was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he now remains in an almost hopeless state from the loss of blood. Immedi ately after the oocurrence the wife gave herself up at the station.house, Garlick-hill. Benjamin Wood is • mild in offensive man, and is deemed a very excellent officer. Ile has been attached to the force almost ever since it was first established, and was highly respected both by his saperior , as well as his brother officers. IN'zi' EiTB.—By Mr. W.

In February last deceased being then only 13 months' old, was entrusted to the care of a girl named Manly to nurse, who beat it vio lently. On its being taken home the most tender part of its person was found to be swollen with marks of violence and blood. A tumour formed, and subsequently " fungus h.cmatodes." As the only chance of saving life •an operation on Wednesday the 7th, was performed by Mr. Partridge, of King's College Hospital, but the child died the scree eight. The surgeon stated that the disease no doubt originated from • blow or fall. The jury returned the f Mowing Verdict, " that the deceased died from internal htemorrage, after undergoing an operation rendered necessary by the diseeso under which it laboured, but whether such disease was spon tateous or from violence there was no evidence to show." The girl Manly, aged fourteen, was 1. etured by th coroner.—DROWNED IN A WARRING TCR.— By Mr. William Carter, at the Pitt's Head Tavern, Grange-road, Bermointwey, on the body of Samuel Rob e r t Hodgki n ., age d eight months', whose friends reside at No. 10, Diamond street, Grange-road.

The surgeon pronounced life to have been some time extinct. In accordance with the medical testimony, the jury returned • verdict—" That the deceased died of sanguineous apoplexy, necelerated by intoxication." THE GREAT BRITAIN AND ADMIRALTY CHAR'. —lt has been supposed that Captain Claxt in, in his letter describing the cause of the Great Britain running ashore, re ferred to an Adinimlty chart, whereas he referred to a chart sold by some persons who call themselves agents to the Ad miralty. The error appears to have been participated in I' the Liverpool Mail, which, in its publication of the inst., has a paragraph saying: " I hive made epecial quiries as to the date of the erection of the St. John's Ligl which, it is said, was mistaken for the Calf of Man Light and find that this will be the third winter of its existene How in the name of common sense or justice was this ligl omitted in the Admiralty Chart:" This strange state- I ment has called forth from Mr. Bate, the agent for the miralty charts this contradiction : " The fact is, that the . John's Light has been laid down in all toe Admiralty charts since its erection, as may be seen by a reference to those chart.. It is also fully described in the Admiralty List British Lighthouses, published Bth May, 1546." ULTIMATE DESTINATION OF TILE STATUE.— Con mich rabic curiosity is being excited as to what tan Ire done with the Duke's Statue dB is obliged to descend from P present elevated position. It has been suggested that grand group might be achieved by placing it side by with the Achilles, who might be employed in holding v..

No animal has ever yet been found large enough to admit of his carrying out his uer.ol,- modating intentions, but the mammoth horse of the Hake just about the proper height for the purpoc... If the Do is to remain where he is, some support must he found him and perhaps a small group of Peninsular veterans might be introducA appropriately, as having hero the parties who raised him to his very high position —l'unch. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Ocr. INVEsTITI'RE OP THE ORDER OF ST. PATun n. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, by command of he Majesty, held a Chapter of the Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick, yesterday. The Earl of Fingal) was introduced by the Gentleman Usher and Ulster King of Arms, and kneeling received the honour of Knighthood. The Noble Earl was subsequently invested in the usual form with ' insignia of the order. STATE or THE CotxTnx.—Tho following accounts ceived to-day depict the deplorable condition of the count in Clare and Galway, the destitution of the maple, and violence to which, unhappily, they have recourse: (From the Clare Journal.) On Saturday morning, about five o'clock, sic men stopped a horse and car bringing oats to market, near filially hill, and ;mapped a gun at the horse. The animal started at the flash, and fell under the car, where he remained fur a long time, the peaple being afraid to give the owner assi.tance. At the hour of ten o'clock, a party similar in number stoop , a horse with a load of corn, on the road at Fowderhi near Ruan, and fired two shots at the horse, wounding him dreadfully. The owner entreated them not to • jure the horse, and he would return home with oats, but the legislators refused compliance with the quest. The police stationed at Roan immediately went pursuit, hut were not able to come up with the party. We understand there were no less than 111 paupers admitted into the workhouse of Ennistymon on Friday. This strong proof of the utter destitution prevalent in , neighbourhood. In different places within the last few do the people assembled in masses, and dug out for their of use the potatoes belonging to some of the large farmers. (Front the Galway Vindicator.) OORT, TrEsDtv AlnitNlNo.-1 am sorry to inform yc that on yesterday morning (Monday), we were threatene with a serious disturbance, namely, one thousand poor labourers entered the town on the George's-street-road, bearing spades and shovels, and were compell,ng some forty men to accompany them who were receiving employ ment on a line of road. Trey marched into the town, and assembled opposite Dean Kirwan's gate, who immediately advised them to go home, and that work should be got for them immediately. They did intend going on the Newtown line to turn out those who were working (at 84. a day). They were pacified when they saw the Rev. Mr. Nagle start for Galway to procure 500 tickets, apd Mr. Runt assured them they should be employed next day if Mr. Nagle got the ticket,. * Mr. Nagle did not bring them ; hut they were to be sent after him next morning, as the offica from whom they . are got was from home. The crowd, on Mr. Runt', assuring them of work, separated, and indeed starvation we strongly marked on their countenances, and many of them openly said they would do some seta of violence to procure themselves and their families food. FooD DIsTERRANCE IN OALWAY.—In my letter of Tues day's date, I forwarded to you an account of the disturbance In Galway, in which a poor woman lost her life ; the folios ing is a full detail of the melancholy circumstances in whicL it arose :—Mr. John Connor, with some twenty or thirty othersof his acquaintance, went, on Thursday last, ta invite the aid of the Rev. John Roche, R.C.C., in forming an escort for conveying the carts, containing meal and flour, out of the town and suburban parishes, and the Rev. Mr. Roche at once consented to act with them. Thee accordingly induced the carmen to proceed with them, Air. Roche taking the kad, Mr. Connor and his friends ataticning themselves in the rear, and, after mush remonstrance and no little fatigue. the escort had about forty cartloads of meal and flour cur rayed safe!). to Clare Galway. about six miles out t the town. Some of it reached Team that night Thus far all was well ; but shortly afterwards a most lament aisle occurrence took place at Boherbeg, one of the thorougl fares leading out of the team. It appears that the men oe this street, having proceeded to the cross-road at Bohermore to a-rc: t. a carts wh'.:h the Rev. 311. Fact: and el' otla.• parties forming the escort induced them to . permit to pass i safety, the women determined upon stepp ing any whith, the mean time, might come their way, and accordingly who. four or five other carts laden with flour and meal were pro. ceeding through Boherbeg, the women, frantic with hunger and the cries of their famishing children, rushed upon the provisions and eneeavoured to plunder some of them. Ia duiug so one of the starving creatures who, we have been cresiibly given to understand, had nothing but one meal fe a day and a half pr , vious, laid hold of the head of one VIII horsie, exclaiming the would have scene of the meal or i ea her iife. The driver at the same mumr:it .true, the horse Is i.h his wl:ip, the result of which was, that the unfortunate woman fell, when the wheel of the cart passed over her thro.,t, killing her on the spot.
