2 "d) Terry's and have a pint of she as I was amemaramed leis. I had to go in a narrow passage between Mika% and Platte and deceased ' s. At the corner of Bidden% I beard the first blew in Platte's shop. I was sled a or a yard and a half off. It was a heavy sane, ea ing deadly. I mean not on a block et board. It was a softer substance. I nave heard them stalls calves with a cleaver in killing them, and this seemed to me to be something like that. The blows were repeated three or four times, but I will not be confident which. After the first et second blow was given, there was a deep groan, often repeated; it was a moaning noise; I went up late the howe I was going to, and being so agitated, the first thing I said was, "Oh my God, there's reorder in Platte's shop' my brother-in-law was in the comer smoking, and laughed it off, but my wife came out, and my sister followed her; tin n my brother-in-law, Thome Bellamy, came nut. There was no light in the sleep ; we wen' to the tide of the shop, and asked Platte what he was doing; we knew bins by his voice. He answered, and said he was sick. I said, " Who have you got In the shop ? " end he replied, " Nobody ; I am sick ; I have hid some runt." My wife or sister asked him if they ehocild fetch him some water, and he mid no—he should be better directly. He would not hove a lig ht, or water. M y wire or siste r then charged him with having a girl is the shop, and he said be had not anybody in. I believe we all went up into the house again. Meer the moaning, aad on my going down a second time. I heard a snuffling or wheezing noise, as from shortness of breath, an& ceasing in a weakly manner. I did net hear any fall. Heard a noise as of a substance being drawn along the floor; at the time this anise was ening on, Platte eften beamed or coughe I, sad that was while the wheezing noise was going on. From the linus e I went on to Terry's. When I got to Terry's, I said I had heard something that very much distarbel my mind, and the comp an y partly laughed at me. I went again, and listened very soon afterwards at Pleas's:hop. Terry was not with me then. I heard nothine, ani mice I got into my brother-in-law's hoase, Plata (the prisoner) was sitting et the corner. I said, " Jack, I weld almost swear you had somebody in the elope' He mid he had nothing of the kind. I the matter to Terry's, feeling satisfied that nothing was the matter nee I saw him, He seemed in . no way alarmed or affected, nod that made etc feel more sat isfied. My wife and sister said that he had been in and washed his hands. I remember the day, from a wedding in the neighbourhood taking place on the same day, and when my wife mentioned • it, we recollected the circumstance. Robinson and Robert Lakin went with me the second time, and stood and listened. Saw so marks of blood upon Platte, when he was in the career. My wife thought he had got a girl in the shop at the time. If there had been a light we must haee seen it. The gas from the outside would light the inside of the shop, so that anybody could see what there was doing in it, though they mold not he seen from the outside of the shop. A few moittlis after this, a girl, Ellen Beresford, who wu pregnant by deceased, warted to know where ho was, and I asked Pleas if he knew, and he said he had heard of his being in llanthester, and one place or ether. Platte said he wanted some four or five pounds of Collis, and that he had been up to Brampton, where Collis's parents live, and got a part of it. I think he said the mother had given him the money. Elitabeth Harvey, wife of Thomas Hary the last wit ness, said : I remember Dec. 7, on a Sun day; I and my huiban I were at Bellamy's, in the shambles ; iind my hus band went out to the crass gutters near to Plates shop ; my husband was not out many minutes. In consequence of something he said. I went back with him to the shop, and there, shout twenty yards from father's house, I heard al feet and a men in• the place. I said, "Jack, what are you doing there ?" He raid, lam sick; I've had some rum at Pinks's, and it has made me very sick. I told him he had got some one in the shop, but he said he had not, he was going to lay down ; I t•,lcl him to come out of the shop or open the door, and he rented, because he said he was geine to lay down ; I asked him if Hannah was in the shop —that was the girl ho courted—and he mid . no, she was not ; my sister came down at the same t me, and she also asked him to open the door: we thumped on 'the door, aid said he had got some woman in, and we wanted to knew who it ware but he did not answer; my -sitter went to Paul Cooper's, to ask if this girl was in, and told that she was gene to church with her father; we then felt satisfied, and went into the house. In a little time, PlaOs came into Bellamy's house. I did not hear or see him come out of the shop. We asked what he had been doing, and henel he had thrown the lantern down and had cut his hand. (Witness in other particulars confirmed her huthande, statement) We told him to wash his hands and thee, and he did en. He might have asked to wash them, but I don't remember whether ho die so or not. He had a scratch on the left hand, and my sister tied it up with a rag. He said he woalfi bring Ilarmah from church, to let us see that she was safe. Ho went out and brought the girl, say ing,' Hannah is here ;" asfl I said I wm very glad that the onside. Ho din not appear to be teem , when he muse to our house. One of his knees was marked with dirt. My husband noticed ties when he was joking him. James Radeoni, keeper of the Chesterfield lock-up :Oa the morning of the 6th of September I went to el:it the pri son, veto was in melody ; he arrpearod rovell affected, and made the following statement ; it was voluntary, and node', WWI said to induceeim to speak :—" I am ineneent he said, of the murder of G.

He seemed every agitated. She then confirmed the ether witnesses' state went, in reference to the dirty and wet conditioa of the prisoner's a•th I'. John Bon er ear, en eating-house keeper, residing In the town, said thae he recollected the night of Sunday, the 7th .of December. 'About twenty minutes to 7 o'clock, the de ...ceased, Georeesteillis, came into his shop, paid for some pork Pk* which witness had trusted him two days before.

She had seen it me? s than once, and he told her that he had won it at a raffle at Mansfield, and wanted two pounds for it. She told him the t the was not In want of anything of the kind. The Coroner asked her it she had s ere conversation with the prisoner since the discovery of the remains ? She replied that she had. Oa Thurse'ay last she met him near the door of her own house, when a "wee:sone' arose respecting the discovery of the mutilated le ely. She inquired of him if it was true that it was the body of Collis. Re an swered that he did not know; he had not wen Collis for some time. She then observed that it was an awful thing If he had been murdered. noon which he replied that no one would murder him—he (the deceased) had done it himself. He further said that it was easy fur Collis to heals eat his own threat, and throw himself into the hole in %thin bis remains were discovered. He also stated that the donna had infisemed him that he would make away with hillier. and he was afraid that he would do it while he was eeilit him (meaning at the shambles). Henry Knight, the party who pledged the watch, and who was, at first, supposed to be implicated in the murder, stated that his brother, the prisoner Platte, gave him the watch to pledge, and he was told to do so in his own name. The money he pledged it for, l Is. be gave over to Platte as also the ticket. The watch pr oduced was the one he pledged. About the 22nd of February he bought a pair of boon, of Platte, they were sound boots and laced up the sides. Platte informed him that he had bad them made for him, but th e y were too large. He was to have given him bis. for them. He had worn them until ordered by Mr. Cotterel, the inspector of police, to hand them over to him. [They were rroduced, and the mother of the deceased said, to the beet of her knowledge, they were her sons.] The proceedings had not closed when our report left. COMMERCIAL e r MARKETS.

The market was brisk, and the demand for irrain was very good. KIDDERMINSTER, SEPT. 10.—The rise which took place last week in the price of Wheat was not supported at this day's market, transactions in the article being rather brisk, at prices varying from 6s. to 7s. per bushel, or at a decline of 64 per bushel on last week's rates. In other descriptions of grain quotations remained much the same as last week. NEWARK, SEPT. 9.—The market has been well supplied with Wheat to-day. The London market being higher, more money was asked here at the commencement of the market than was realised, although fine Wheat was making 2s. per qr. more than last week. The prices realised were, White Wheat, 60s. to 575. ; red, 475. to 545. ; malting Barley, 360. to 40s. ; griading, 275. to 295. ; Oats, 21s. to 28s. ; Beans, 425. to 445. ; Rye, 30s to 325. ; Peas, 355. to 375. ; Malt, 645. to 67*. ; Tares, 465. to 50s. LEEDS, SEPT. B.—We have a good supply of grain to this day's market, with a large show of samples from vessels near at hand. Wheat has met a good demand at an advance of 3s. per quarter on uew, and Is. to 2s. per quar ter on old. The little new barley offering makes 38a. to 41s. per quarter. Beans, Oats, and Shelling, each obtain the full rates of last week. _ ---- -- -- ----- DEVIZES, SEPT. 10.-We were only moderately supplied with Wheat for which the growers asked very high prices, and which sold rather freely at from 30. to 4s. a quer . ter above the prices of last week ; a small quantity only of it remaining unsold. Barley was in fair supply for the time of , year, and met a good demand at an advance of from 3a. to 4s. per quarter ; there were a few samples of new, for which prices varying from 38s. a quarter to 43e, were asked and , obtained : it was all cleared off. The supply of Oats was fair I and the sale free at higher prices. Beans and Peas were in I abort supply and met a quick sale at advance of from Is. to I 2s. a quarter. Rye was in short supply and but little doing: prices from 18s. to 20s. a sack. The supply of Tares was short and they were somewhat dearer • prices from 22.. to 255. a sack. We quote the prices as follows ;-Wheat, per quarter, best white, 56.1. to 625. ; Do., red,so.. to 60s. ; inferior do., 365. to 425. Barley, 31s. to 43.. Oats, 255. to 2Pe. Beans, new, 40v. to 45.. Peas, 365. to 41a. F lour, per sack, line, 45e. to 50s. ; seconds, 40s. to 455. GLASGOW, SEPT. 9.-A continuance of favourable weather has enabled the farmers to make great progress with harvest work, which is fast drawing to a conclusion in this part of the country ; and in the higher districts the cutting of Oats has become quite general. A large business has oc curred this; week in Flour at 295. per barrel. There has also been a good demand for Wheat on the spot, and to arrive- Dantzie and United States white have brought 30s. per boll. Some English of the ).resent crop has been sold at about equal to 265. far Red., and 275. 6d. per 2401 b. for White here. A eago of Limericic, of growth 1845, was bought by sample at ' 26.. There have beed scarcely any Oats offering. Old Oatmeal was sold at 42.. per 2801 b. Barley continuing very scarce, has commended high prices; 255. per 3201 b. having leen obtained for sweet 531 Danish for grinding. White Baltic Pease have brought 265. per 280Ib. There was a numerous attendance at this moraine's market, which was a good gull excited, sad price, uncertain. Quotations are 1.. to Is. Gd. per boll for Wheat, and (xi. to la per barrel for Flour overcast week's rates; end to-day a farther advance of ls. was realised for each. A parcel of new Limerick Oats brought Ss. per boll. Oatmeal was held la. to 2s. ,ler load higher. Ofßarley, Pease, and Deans there were scarcely any samples offering, LEITH, SEPT. 9.-We had a good supply of Wheat from the growers at to-day's market, which w is taken off quickly at an advance of 4s. to sa. per qr. fro as ads day week. Extreme rates were paid for a few paree. 1 11 far 'eau, 74.. being given for very superior old ; a good btu, ilaatt_wu done in free foreign, at Is. to 2s. per qr. more mono v.

MARX-LANE.—Tteo o'clock. —The little English Wheat at market this morning, was disposed of at Is. to 2s. per qr. above the rates of Monday last. Free foreign Wheat was generally held far a similar improvement, and where sales were made, that advance was obtained; but there was evidently less life in the trade than of late. American Flour in bond is held at 275. to 28s. per barrel. Malting Barley unaltered in value, but Grinding and Dis tilling sorts were in request, and maintain the improvement of Is. to 2s. per qr. noted on Wednesday last. The arrivals of Oats since Monday have been small ; the high rates which factors generally demanded this morning had the effect of checking business; the few retail sales made, however, were at price about 6d. to Is. beyond those of last Monday. Beane and Peas fuPv support their value. SRMSII. BbMint. per Cit.."'

The picking is general, and upwards of 200 pockets were pitched on market-day, which may be considered a good supply, but no extensive sales are expected before our large fair on Saturday, the 19th instant, by which time it is expected the trade will have become more settled between the planters and the merchants. The prime on Saturday ranged from 80s. to 925. per cwt., but them rates are barely maintained to-day. All our accounts agree in stating that the yield is far greater than the most ardent planter ever anticipated, and the duty was done yesterday and to-day, at as high a figure as 30,000/. Oa Saturday she duty was noted at 25,0001. and even this is the greatest amount paid since 1837, when it reached within a trifle of 36,0001. Oa Saturday there were weighed at the public scales 216 new pockets, old, 5 ; and during the week 28 new and 11 old. EAST RETFORD, SEPT. 9.—We are knit now in the very midst of the hop-pulling season, and hitherto we have had a most appropriate one. From all parts of the North Clay district our accouts are encouraging, and of a highly satisfactory nature. Many of the best grounds are pulling from 1,000 to 1,100 baskets (of air pecks each) to the acre ; and as some of our planters having weighed of certain portions of their stock they are enabled to form a better estimate of what they are likely ultimately to realize. In years when the crops are deficient and the quality inferior, It will only take from thirty to' thirty-five baskets to the cwt. when properly cured, but this year such is the enormous size of the hop in a general way, and the superiority of its condition, that it takes 60 baskets to the cwt., and it is with difficulty that 1 i cwt. can be squeezed into the North Clay bags of the usual size ; and we believe we may say, without any exaggeration, that several of our crack plantations will afford an average yield of more than a ton per acre. The dried samples we continue to receive from all parts of the dint are in capital condi tion, full of aroma, and stronger in „quaky than we have known them for several years; and alitliat we now want to crown the labours of our planters and td reward their industry, is flee, still, and dry weather. This' day (Wed nesday) is somewhat unfavourable, but it is th fiat wet day we have had since picking commenced ; an,' it can (scarcely be expected to last long, as the barometer is still rising fast at 2998. The Nottinghamshire duty is still backed at 2,7001. We regret to state that last night, betweOn nine and ten o'clock, the hop-kiln belonging to Mr. Skelton, of Lady Wood, near Tuxtord, was accidentally set on fire, and before the flames could be extinguished, the roof fell in, and all that was consumable was destroyed, including all the hops which he had got dried off, amounting to about one. half his produce. This kiln is most unfortunate, for on the 26th of May, 1843, its predecessor was totally destroyed by the same devouring element, as well as what it contained, including not less than 30 beet of hope of the previous year's prixince.—Doncoster Chronic(.

The trade is heavy, and it is difficult to maiatain Monday'. prices; 4s. 2d. is an extreme quota tion for the best Scots, &c., and 4s. for the most selling short horns. Inferior qualities are difficult to be disposed of. and many remain unsold. Trade continues active for Sheep; the abundance of keeping causes both a shorter supply and in creased demand; consequently prices are still high, although, owing to dulness of the dead trade, the butchers have pur chased fat stock somewhat lower. We had about 830 from Holland, which met a ready sale. The Lamb trade con tinues good for the time of year; Monday's prices are well supported. Calves are rather plentiful, and trade heavy, at a reduction of about 4d. per Blbs. We had 68 from Holland. The trade for Pigs is scarcely so good, yet very choice porkers are marking about Os. 4d.

SHREWSBURY FAIR, SEPT. B.—The supply of fat and store stock in our fair yesterday was most abundant. We have not had such a show of excellent sheep (or some years as was presented this mouth, the demand being good, and the prices asked and obtained were high. The best stores fetched from 21 to 21. ss. One lot of remarkably fine black-faced ewes making 31. We had the greatest number of rams ever seen in market at one time, and soldwell, many ss high as 51. to 61. each. The large fat wethers and good ewes made 6; per lb., but smart light weights made even more. Lamb sold at about 6ld. per lb. The pig market was completely glutted, consequently prices were somewhat lower than they kave been of late, but they sold at good terms. _ _ . SALISBURY, SEPT. B.—The supply of Cattle was above an average, consequently the sales were not concluded so early as usual, but a clearance was effected without diffi culty. Good Ox Beef fetched 10s. 6d to lls. 3d. ; Heifer,' 9s. 3d. to 10a. 6d. per score ; Mutton, 61d. to 71:1. per lb. SALYO6O, SEPT. 9.—The show of stock was again large, but not too good for the demand, which continues unusually extensive. The best Beef and Mutton realised the full rates of last week, say 6d. per lb. for the former, and Sid. to 61d. for Mutton and Lamb. All sold up. DERBY, SEPT. B.—There was a small supply of beasts : Sheep, an average one, with plenty of customers ; of lambs, calves, and pigs. there was but a small number.

THE Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the b'vitish Association has been worthily opened by Sir Roln RICK MURCHISON ; the original thinker, who hats given a new form, and completeness before unknown, to geological science; the English gentleman, who, like his precursors of the Elizabethan age, combines in his own person the patron of science, and the aspirant to intellectual eminence. His instructive and eloquent addres.s will be found in our report. It is not the least pleasing feature of our age that the autumnal meeting of this Association for the Advancement of Science, should now be as regular, and scarcely less attractive, ,qtalt the annual meetings at Newmarket or Goodwood. Whether e.'e Association congregate beneath the' smoky can ory which overhangs our great manui*turing mit e s , or in the less dusky atmosphere off the banks or Cain or Isis ; whether it take up its Vlll porary abode at Glasgow, where the Romans once reared the ba.-rier-wall between civilisation and barbarism, or in the region where Cunobelin, first of his race, assimilated himself to the genius of Rome ; it is sure to be attended brilliantly. The attractions of science rival the attractions of field sports. Though we speak lightly, our meaning is not to undervalue the importance of these meetings. Only fifteen years have elapsed since they began ; and already we can trace their influence for good, both in the extended field of scien tific research and the higher spirit is which it is cul tivated. Comprehensiveness and system are as essential to the science of observation and induction as to that of abstract speculation. Minute and isolated observations and experiments are but the efforts of individuals amassing materials out of which master minds build up new systems. In proportion as the facts of detail accumulate, each has its proper place assigned, by the instinct of superior intellects, in an organic whole. To direct and rectify these efforts, observations and experiments on a more extensive scale than individual means can institute, are required. The State must co-operate with men of science. The British Association has been happily instrumental in concluding such an alli ance between power and reflection. To its influence and representations are owing the simultaneous scientific observations instituted in England and I British America, at the Cape of Good Hope and in Van Diemen's Land, by the English and the Anglo- Indian governments, extended over a range of years. Nor have the results of the efforts of the Association stopped here. The example of the British Govern ment in this respect has already been followed by most of the continental powers. With respect to the manner in which this widening field is cultivated, the inßuence of the Association is not less obvious. The number of earnest and enthu siastic cultivators of natural history and natural science throughout England, has long been con siderable. But all who have had occasion to consult their writings, have been obliged to con fess that most of them, self-taught thinkers, isolated from scientific converse, have been cha racterised by slovenliness in their modes of induction, bad logic.in their exposition of inferences, and a deficient acquaintance with general science, favourable to crude and untenable generalisation. The British Association has carried the scientific world into the districts where these gigantic but un couth intellects have been, with disproportionate efforts, working out valuable but one-sided results. The latter have been taught to feel the superior facility and elegance with which the educated thinker and observer conducts his inquiries. The contact has been mutually beneficial. Our scholars have been brought into more familiar contact with practical applications of principles on a large scale ; our self taught naturalists, mechanicians, and chemists, have acquired the easy processes, and neat, finished mani pulation, of those bred in the schools. During the last fifteen years an immense change for the better is observable in the mass of English publications on natural history and mechanical science, both in respect of matter and style. Such results are not the less certain, because the annual meetings of the Association have proved attractive, and are meant to prove attractive to many who neither are nor can become efficient labourers in the vineyard of science. These meetings arc to our HERSCHELS and FARADAYS seasons of relaxation from severer study; the times when they meet kin dred spirits, or at all events miudsengaged in kindred pursuits, for social intercourse. Not a few there are, doubtless, among those numerous assemblages, who mistake the relaxation for real business ; just as many mistake the music and outward forms of public worship for the essence of devotion, or the turbulent excitement of political demonstrations for statesman ship and legislation. It is a law of nature that in religion, politics, and science, there should be always, apparently, a disproportionate waste of effort when compared with results. It is in the moral and intellectual as in the physical world. Nature, re dundantly rich in power, seems to take pleasure in its wilful display ; as the high spirited courser, not contented with carrying its rider to his destination, indulges in a thousand wanton bounds and curvets by the way. We are not blind to openings which the Associa tion has at times fairly given for jokes at its expense. Nor do we object to a good natured joke at a folly as it emerges and explodes, provided the enduring and substantial good be not overlooked. But it is revolt ing to hear common-place indolence flattered year after year, by the attempt to fix exclusive attention merely upon the foibles of this great, active, and most useful body. True wit will have its laugh at wis dom ; but it is a short one, and subsides into reveren tial sympathy ; the laugh of vacancy and folly is an other matter. The author of Canaille was the first who taught his countrymen to appreciate NEWTON. A Nan WARD could see nothing but matter for jokes, some good but more indifferent, in the pursuits of the Royal Society. WE regret to see the evident sincerity and determined resolve with which many intelligent men seem disposed to deprecate government interference with popular instruction. They labour hard to make out that the education of the poor is progressing satisfactorily ; that the schools already come very close on the wants of the community; that the quality of the teaching in them is by no means so bad as has been represented ; and that, from the increasing attention devoted to the subject, we may venture to expect that individual and local efforts will, in time, secure all the advantages, without any of the mischiefs, of state interpo sition. But we must believe that this complacency arises rather from fears of governmental control, than from real satisfaction with the general elemen tary education of England. It must be as well known to these reasoners as it is to the school inspectors, to the clergy of all denominations, to the gentry, to the magistrates, to masters employing workmen, and to intelligent workmen themselves, that elementary education in this country, as now con ducted, is a mockery. Few national histories can exhibit more remarkable instances of " the pursuit of knowledge under diffi culties " than our own. In none have lowliness of origin and narrowness of circumstances less effectually hindered men from the attainment of their true leveL Thousands, every century, rise to station, fortune, and . . . influence, with no more education than the imperfect reading, writing, and arithmetic of the national i school. These are the men whom no obstacle can check, no disadvantage baffle. For them the question of education or no education need not be debated. If their A, B, Cbe not taught them, they will learn it for themselves. Many of the elements which are active in such men, form part and parcel of our national character. As a people we possess an average of that perseverance, energy, and clear-sightedness, which they, as indivi duals, enjoyed to a rare degree. As they, in their histories, appear achievers of success with no advan tages of early culture, or but the lowest; we, in our national history, may exhibit but slight traces of any fatal deficiency of education. From a consideration of I our commercial and political fortunes, strangers might not unreasonably conclude that the English must be au educated people. The conclusion, let us point to our countrymen with what pride we may, would be false. We are what we are, in spite of a want of education ; which would have been destructive to a people less industrious, foresighted, and energetic. We are what we are, by virtue of those amongst us who have been originally educated or have made up for the want oT early instruction by subsequent self discipline. The development of the good which they have planted in our institutions, no less than in our trading and manufacturing systems, hzeheen impaired, retarded, or prevented, by the want of educational (raining among the mass less gifted than themselves. It is not probable that the reasoners against 00,0111 Sent interference will find many powerful gropp or t em Yew will share the horror of govern- ment control, or contentment with educatio — ; - 4 or even with such as we have now made unim We repeat our counter-conviction. Such u England does furnish, except in a few sr* a mockery. If it 1;e not already, it soon will be, a ts s i t that reading, writing, and arithmetic as s education. Rate them at their highest, are only means to education. To attain eves* subordinate dignity, they must be effectually thoroughly taught. Only to the mau who g ilt with ease and fluency, will reading ever ba nk , habit. When it has, the direction it takes, the it finds within its reach, the atmo s ph ere in why*l4 is enjoyed, must be considered before we can esti ft how far it conduces to education. Even fik utterance of words is useless, unless the mean's., the words be familiar to the reader. Educated' uneducated man, educated tongue and even sha h book, speak each a different language. The Naff s , agricultural labourers get through life with a vos s i, lary of some five hundred words, out of the forty th, sand which make up the English Glossary. s o xi the other means to education furnished at oss 4 6 mentary schools. They are nothing unless there t o mastered. They are mastered by a very small portion of our poor children. But if we widen the province of elementary e tion, and suppose it to aim at the end %rot means ; at the educing or drawing out the powers and affections; what becomes of the ea" our national and other humble schools to the aft ( educational institutions? how much of t h e p g done or happiness enjoyed in after life, is traotaVit knowledge acquired or principles developed strength at these places ? In putting this question we might go higher ti t national schools. New ntnch. clue::.'::: (it —To o prehensive sense of the word) is furnished, either ' private academies, public schools, or univera k otherwise than by the self-sustaining effort of */ pupil himself ? The great difference between ir and poor is, that the former possess the metal education, and, later in life it may be, the will tow them. The latter are left without these, the tools him who would shape his own character. Mutt elementary schools do not generally furnish e7en means of education, is proved, for .a la t class of them, by the reports of the fi t vernnient Inspectors for 1845. These repot moreover, illustrate the great advantage which as, result from the appointment of a Minister of Ed ua tion, and the establishment of a government eau tional staff and system. This system, of course, sx not aim at imposing uniformity of method, or rate ing subjects of instruction. All we understand byte words national education, is education over which a Government should exercise a superintendence; a to which it should devote, but not under unvarya conditions, aid in money, more proportioned the t present to the wants of our population. The funda of inspection should certainly be discharged by, compcter.t official body. Some of the effects of ma an inspection may be illustrated from this rem It shows what a mass of valuable informatis the inspectors may be the means of disseminating. illustrates their opportunities for observing la comparing the working of different system'., and to bringing the results so obtained to a focus from whit their vivifying heat and light may act upon tie, country, with a force which no individual or detaches enthusiasm can command, however devoted or a. lightened. These reports may be manuals for tie instructor as well as the minister; and the one la issued appears to us the most valuable that we haveyn seen. We recommend it to all men who, in their severol towns or districts, are preparing the ground for edt. cation. They will find it pregnant with instruction, warning, and encouragement. It establishes two grand conclusions. One, that our present elementaty education is what we have already called it, mockery; the other, that to a certain extent then _ _ . exists the machinery for making this mockery a We have received by our usual express the Pm journals of Wednesday. King Louis l'hilippe man. nues to reside at Neuilly. :Marshal Bugeaud Paris on Wednesday for Excideuil, whence he tri; shortly return to Algiers. The Dec d'Abrantes, Envoy Extraordinary of th; Emperor of Brazil to the King of Prussia, has arri in Paris from Berlin.

Letters from Algiers, of 2nd September, state the the news from the east and southern provinces is of serious nature, and contains apprehensions of a nes rising.

Our information from Madrid, of the 4th instant,' but a repetition of what we have already published Private letters state that the reports from the pro vinces are entirely silent as to the progress of de election and the prospects of the several candidate The marriage of the Queen with a Spanish Prins seems to give universal satisfaction; that of tie Infanta into the family of France becomes daily more and more unpopular. The Madrid journals art already discussing the right of' succession of the ;pa Bible] children of the Due de Montpcnsier. The Espanol maintains that : " The law of Philip V., which excluded the princes of t'le line of Orleans from the succession, not having been able gated, they are comprehended under the 47th article of the Constitution, and excluded." The same journal adds, "Itst if Ministers declare to the Cones that the Constitution ha superseded the law of *accession of 1712, England sad Austria have a right to oppose the marriage of a Priam d the House of Orleans to the heiress presumptive." A letter from Madrid states that the protest sent it by Mr. Bulwer was to this effect :—that he had learned with much surprise that the Spanish govern' ment had come to the determination to conclude simultaneously, and within a short period, the doub marriage of the Queen and her sister, the Infanta that the union of the latter with the Duke de Mont pensier could not be considered in the light of a meet, internal or domestic question, but as a European on of paramount importance, and likely to lead to Teq grave complications ; that in consequence he deemed it his duty to protest provisionally against the whok proceeding whilst waiting for further instructions from his government. The Lisbon journals state that the Mignelito instm rection of Abcam de Nobregn has been put down. ITALY.—BOLOGNA, At:G. 27.—0 n the day of the fiteof St. George a number of young men formed a pre cession and hoisted the tricolor Hag.

The wares are to be landed at the Lazaretto. The English ambassador at Naples has applied to the govern ment of the Two Sicilia for an explanation on this subject. BRUSSELS, SEPT. s.—Dos EsitiQuE.—The Infant Don Enrique, who was residing at Ostend, has just left that town for Ghent. The Infant is accompanied by M. Calves, kis aide-de-camp.
