This threefold divi sion of the language has always existed, though the great balk of the people, up to very recent times, may have only been familiar with the first and its limited range of Dec.., verbs, and adjectives, chiefly compared of strong plain monosyllables of Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian origin and their immediate derivatives. At • very early period of English literary history many of these excellent Siren words, whether used by the peasantry or in the colloquial intercourse of the upper classes in remote coun try districts, were not considered proper for the purposes either of polite conversation, of pulpit oratory, or of the I poet or pro ,e writer. Puttenham, in his " Arta of Eng-1 loh l'oesie,"published in 1582, eleven years before Shake- ream had given to the world "the first heir of his in- motion," his beautiful poem of " Venus and Adonis," defines the somewhat narrow topographical limits of the current literary English of his time, and prescribes to the neophyte in poetry what language he shall employ. Our writer, therefore, at these days, shell not follow Piers Plowmen, nor Gower, nor Lydgate, nor yet Chaucer, fee their longues" is now out of use with us; neither shall be take the teruis of Northmen, such as they use in 1 daily talk, whether they may be noblemen, or gentlemen, ',their best clerks (clergy), nor in effect any speech used beyond the river of Trent ; though no man Can dewy that theirs is the purest English Saxon at this day. Yet it is not so courtly nor so current as our Southern English is ; so more is the far Western man's speech. Ye shall, there- ' fore, tape the usual speech of the Court, and that of London, and the shires lying about London, within sixty miles end not much above," All onr greatest writers from the days of Shakespeare to onr own have, consciously, or tuntonscionsly, acted upon Puttenham's advice ; and not withstanding the boasted increase of education amongst • us and the flood of newspapers and periodicals poured out ' daily and weekly over the country, it is to be doubted whether the hulk of the peasantry, except perhaps in Scotland, understand literary English, or could make much, if any, sense out of Pope, Addison, or Johnson ; Thackevay, Grote, or Macaulay ; or the leading articles of the daily papera —Bfackwoods Magazine for October. HOOD Et PERSECUTOR& —Foremost among perse cutors was Rae Wilson, Esq., an amateur writer, and warm friend of Irving, who ceaselessly attacked him with abuse, ch a rging his comic poems with " profaneness and ribaldry, and for one most innocent allusion to a corn mon-place figure—the dove with the olive branch—ac tually with blasphemy ! It is necessary to refer thus to Hood's provocation, for much censure him been cast by re ligions people on the " Ode to Rae Wilson," which, al though it would be improved by the omission of two or three passages, is certainly • castigation not • whit too severe for the libeller to whom it was addressed. Had Rae Wilson and his clique alone persecuted the luckless author of the " Comic Annual," the annoyance would have been great enough ; bus unfortunately the old homely proverb of the results of giving • bad name followed. Worthy, but very silly people were told that Theresa Hood was a s co ff er a t all religion ; but instead of inquir ing if the charge was really true they forthwith took upon themselves the right to lecture him, Little ran the reader imagine the persecution poor Hood -- especially when in ill-health--endured from these self-constituted preachers. We have seen penny tracts, suitable enough to be thrust into the fist of eastermongfr, sent to the writer of some of our sweetest Poetry, and letters filled with coarsest appeals to a " hard ened conscience" addressed to the author of " Eugene Aram's Dream." Sometimes only a single text, but al ways miserably ill-chosen, written in large hand, would be sent, or a imeation as to what comfort the" Comic An neal " would afford him on his death-bed ? That sone of these foolish writers really meant well, we have no rea son to doubt ; but it was always a difficulty to us to ac count for the virulent feeling of the greeter number. To Thomas Hem?, not unnaturally, all the writers seemed linked together in a bond to torment him ; and he would sometime s turn upon them like the stag at bay. Wo could scarcely wonder then at the concentrated bitterness of his sarcasms, or that sometimes the least offending came in for the heaviest share of punishment. We have gone into this subject more at length because not only has there been great misunderstanding on this subject, hut few writers lin", we think, undergone more unmerited persecution num through so many year.. —BrilisA Quarterly Barites, new ber. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TUIQRAMI.) TIIE RISING IN THE PAPAL STATES. FLORENCE, Oar. 7. Tito Opinione denies the statements of some Italian and French papers, that the United States Legation in this city had officially protested against the arrest of Garibaldi on the ground of his being an American citizen. The Opiniotte says, that in compliance with the wish of some of Garibaldi's friends the legation only took some semi-official steps to ameliorate the general's position in the fortress of Alessandria, but did not follow them up, having learnt that Garibaldi was not only treated with every indul gence, but had been sent back to Caprera. Accounts received here from the Papal province of Viterbo announce that the insurgents have abandoned Bagnorea, which has been re-occupied by the Pontifical Zousves. Advices front tho frontier state that the number of insurgents in the province of Viterbo has con siderable increased. They are divided into three bands, which are daily receiving reinforcements and being joined by the inhabitants. Insurgents have made their appearance between the towns of Orte and Viterbo, and others coming from Fara have been seen near Nerola. Garibaldi has published a proclamation violently ' attacking Signor Rattuzi., and continuing to counsel the deliverance of Rome. FLORENCE, Ocr. 7, 9.10 P.M. . . A great number of volunteers have arrived at the Papal frontier, seeking to elude the vigilance of the Italian troops, and reach the Roman terri tory. The Pontifical forces are chiefly concentrated at Rome, Viterbo, and Civita Vecchia. There are only very small garrisons in the other towns. ROME, Ocr. 6, 5 P.M. Official accounts published hero relative to the engagement between the Garibaldians and the Papal troops at Bagnorea state that the insur gents, who had occupied the town for the last two days, were driven out by the Pontifical Zouaves, who dispersed and routed them completely after two hours' fighting. The Garibaldians are said to have numbered 500 men, of whom 70 were killed and wounded and 110 made prisoners, while the Zouaves had only a few wounded. GERMANY. AUCiSBITUG, OCT. 7. Yesterday the King of Prussia arrived here, and was received most cordially by King Louis IL of Bavaria, who wore the uniform of a Prussian Hussar. Their Majesties subsequently dined together, the dinner lasting two hours. BERLIN, Ocr. 7, EVENING. To-day in the North German Parliament the President read the reply of the King of Prussia to the parliament's address, delivered to his Majesty at the Castle of Hohenzollern, in response to the speech from the throne. His Majesty spoke as follows :—" I receive with joy the address of the parliament, as it is a proof that the seed of the past year has successfully germinated. The address expresses feelings and hopes which I fully share, and which may one day ripen towards their ful filment. You recall in your address the spot on which it is presented, and truly the fact that the old and hereditary castle of the Hohenzollerns should on the day of its consecration witness an address from a parliament of North Germany, pre sented to myself, proves that Providence is with the race which sprung from hence, and that Providence has been, and is, with Prussia." Prussia has addressed invitations to Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Baden, Luxemberg, and Austria, to send representatives to a conference in Berlin to consider the questiona of the postal system and of a postal convention between Austria and Ger many.

At,`TION AGAINST AN OPERA SINGER.—The Tri bunal of Commerce at Brussels has just given judgment in an action brought by M. Letellier, manager of the The atre Royal de la Mongtaie, against the tenor ginger Dalin rens, belonging to the establishment. Tb's artist was en gaged at a salary of 5,5001. a month, and was bound to sing ten times every font weeks, extra appearances being paid rzof. each ; and in case of his refusing to sing • de duction of equal amount from his salarywas authorised. On the Bth of last month the programmeat the theatrewas sud denly changed in consequence of the illness of one of the artists, and M. Dulaurens being called upon to sing refused, on the ground that he had not received sufficient notice. The house had, in consequence, to remain closed that evening, and the money received had to be returned. Hence the action. For the defendant, it was contended that he was liable only to the forfeiture of 550 f. ; but the court took a different view of the meaning of the contract, and condemned him to pay M. Letellier the amount of loss canoed by the suspension of the performance, and to all the costa of the action. An expert was ordered to ascer tain the extent of the lose incurred by the manager. PLEDGING GIRLS.—Girls are pledged in certain parts of Raj tans by way of security for money. A case of this description lately transpired at Kisbengurh. It was brought to the notice of the governor-general's agent, who remonstrated with the maharajah, and his highness in reply informed him that although in inferior castes, such as that to which the plaintiff belonged, the impledgment of children was a common occurrence, still at the agent's desire be had had the girl restored to her parents, and the tbakwar censured. We gust this de testable practice will be at once done away with.—Hindoo Patriot, Aug. 12. The captain and crew of the brig Lady Franklin, 199 tons, were landed at Dover at 5 p.m. yesterday, rod received into the Sailors' Home. This ill-fated vessel was run into and sunk by the steamship Danzig, of Leith, at 1.30 a.m. The captain and crew had only just time to scramble on board the steamer, and were unable to save any of their clothes or other property. LONDON, TUESDAY ICVKICINO, OCTOBER 8, 1867. ITALY. (rßox cum ows cosazaroxpr.n.) FLOEKNOE, Oar. 4. Since my last letter the ferment throughout Italy on the subject of Rome has increased with redoubled energy. The release of Garibaldi from his temporary confinement at Alessandria, the ex traordinary demonstrations of sympathy exchanged between him and the army whilst he was still in custody, his speech to the troops from the fortress balcony, telling them that when the time came, and it was not far distant, they would be able to turn out their enemies, the Pontifical Zouaves, with the butt-end of their guns, co/ ealtio del lora futile, and his positive assurance that no con dition had been imposed on him at his liberation, a statement pronounced before the eager multi tude who were expressing frantic joy at the gene ral's release, his emphatic words—" The revolu- ; tion at Rome cannot fail—it will take place soon ; we are bound to give the movement every en couragement and aid ; and we shall undoubtedly do so in order to gain possession of Rome, no matter what fiends impede it, be they clad as Bona parte' or as priests"—all itigains open declarations, made by such a man, eneh a moment, seem titunistakeable indicatio _ of the hero's faith in it j; forthcoming events, and • e success of an appa rently impending mov ant. Meantime the volunteers have actually passed the frontiers ; outbreaks have taken place in several parts of the Roman territory near Viterbo and Froeinone, and the greatest agitation prevails in Rome. The Roman papers, on the one hand, affirm, however, that " the bands of marauding Garibaldians have been re pelled by the Pontifical troops, the latter being everywhere welcomed by the populations of the dis tricts which had been subjugated where they were looked upon as restorers of order and peace." On the other hand, we learn from the Rifonna that " a company of Viterbese volunteers, from about 90 to 100 in number, took up arms outside the town on the 30th September, marched to Bomarzo, leaving Viterbo quietly, in order probably not to attract attention and cause interference. At Bomarzo the national government was proclaimed. On the same day, at 3 p.m., the insurgents marched on Acquapendente, and took possession of the gates just as the Pontifical Carabineers were retiring within their barracks. The Carabineers resisted until made prisoners. The insurgents got possession of the government strong box. Their ranks aug- , mented, and after proclaiming the national go vernment, they once more marched off." It would seem that, in consequence' of the revolutionary movement at Romano, and the violation of the Papal territory by the Garibaldian VolunH teers, a demand for assistance had been made to the superior officer in command of the Italian troops by the Pontifical authorities. A telegram had been, in consequence, despatched to Florence demanding special directions. The answer received was that the troops were to keep at their post—i.e , not to cross the fron ' tier, or otherwise interfere. At Rome a secret ' understanding is suspected between the French ' and Italian governments. Cardinal Antonelli is reported to have exclaimed, in reference to this, "La veers del Reno inoomincia del Tevere," (The war on the Rhine commences at the Tiber). The troops which have been sent from Rome to help.in defending the provinces have had strict orders " to return on the first symptoms of reverses, however slight." It is reported that at Civits Vecchia there are a French and Spanish man-of-war, both full of troops, ready at any time to disembark " if required." The Diritto informs us that Menotti Garibaldi entered Mcmtefiaacone, and that the Pontifical sol diers fled at his presence towards Rome. Whilst these events have been occurring, young enthusiasts ' are by hundreds making their way daily towards the frontier. At Sienna, a day or two since, some 180 youths got into the train—they of course had neither arms nor reds shirt on at the time—under the very noses of a picket of soldiers. No sooner, however, was the train in motion than they i simultaneously shouted "Evviva Garibaldi!" mak ing the object of their journey obvious enough. Others are every day starting from other provinces, and even from Florence. On the other hand, we have seen the proclamation with which the Roman Junta retires seemingly from the scene of action, whilst deprecating the difficulties of the present situation. Opinions differ as to the final result of these movements. Some moderate and sensible men think the moment has actually arrived for the transformation of Rome into the capital of Italy to take place. They say that France cannot, dares not interfere ; that Prussia is at her heels to keep the balance of freedom true to Italy ; that, consequently, the Italians ought to make the most of the present opportunity, and energetically push on to the acquirement of their entire rights. Others, equally earnest and sensible patriots, be lieve in French intervention. Public feeling is much divided, and great anxiety is everywhere felt, as all seem to think that some crises is at hand. In confirmation of all previous inductions, we read in a despatch of the Dintto, published this day : "General Garibaldi took boat yesterday at Caprers for the purpose of embarking on the mail steamer for Leghorn ; he was, however, arrested, taken back to Caprera, and the island itself is now under the guard of the Esploratore." Whilst all thin doubt and agitation prevail, and the vital interests of Italy are at stake, science has enthroned its peaceable retreat within the capital. Florence has been ever since the 29th ult. the abiding place of the International Statistical Con gress, the meetings of which have been held in the Senate-house every day. This is the sixth Congress held on the same subject. Brussels (1853), Paris (1855), Vienna (1857), London (1880), and Berlin (1863) have in turn been visited. The distinguished Italian economist Paaini proposed, on the occasion of the last Congress, that Florence should be ap pointed for the following meeting. The members who have gathered here on this occasion from all quartersare European celebrities in their speciality. Large numbers—some 600—have graced the Con- 1 gress by their presence, and benefited it by their "labours of thought." It was interesting, in the opening speech, delivered by one of the members of this International Congress, to find an Aus trian (for such was the nationality of the speaker) congratulating Italy on the eminent position which she now occupies among nations, and expressing warm interest in her welfare. Of course the Congress has been duly feted on all sides. A grand banquet was given to the members last evening at the Paglisno Theatre, which was splendidly decorated and illuminated for the occasion. To-morrow the Congress closes. The King has invited the members to a dinner at the Pitti on Saturday next, and this evening a grand concert is to be given to them at the Pergola. AMERICA. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPOND/WT.) NEW YORK. SEPT. 26. There is a good deal of speculation going on in the newspapers about what the President will do when Congress meets, -or rather before Congress meets, and various theories have been propounded by the Washington correspondents, some on what they call good authority. One, coming from a demo cratic source, is that he will resort to force, and disperse the body when it attempts to meet ; anotheAß that before it meets he will have the prin cipal radicals arrested and indicted by a Mary land grand jury for a conspiracy. Although these stories are wildly improbable, there nevertheless seems to be no doubt that there are amongst his advisers men who would not be sorry to see him resort to violence ; not only this, but who urge him to resort to it, in the hope that something good for themselves may turn up in the disorder. But these people haste not as yet got the upper hand—l do not think they over will, not because Mr. Johnson would not like to follow their advice, but because he has not nerve enough. His courage, luckily for the country, seems to evaporate in speeches and proclamations. Those who believe that he will attempt a coup d'itot do so on the theory that he cannot without stultifying himself refrain from following up his late proclamations by some decided action. But then this is ascribing more logic to his character than it has ever given any sign of. He will stul tify himself, wo may be sure, and will do so with the most perfect simplicity. He issued the pro clamation because ho thought it a good thing to de; but it contained internal evidence that it was an isolated act, and not part of a series. There is no coherence whatever about his performances. He travels all the time in the same direction, but he never keeps for more than a week at a time on the same track. Although the republican aonven tions throughout the country are very shy of em bodying impeachment in their platforms, this is mainly because they are unwilling to seem to im pose any policy upon the majority in Congress. That impeachment will be attempted, and success fully attempted, when Congress meets, I still be lieve, although it is true, at the same time, that Mr. Johnson has only to keep quiet for a fortnight even to create a strong feeling in favour of letting him alone, so great is the reluctance to add any thing to the troubles and complications already existing. The dismissed generals are going about receiving what are called " ovations." Sheridan is no orator, and therefore receives his honours almost in silence, but Sickles is an old politician, and can make a Very good speech; and he has now to make one nearly every day, or rather every night, for it is mostly after dark that he is called out. He de fends his policy in South Carolina very success fully. The 'trona* point made against him by the President was, as yen know, his having issued an order staying the issue of execution on judg ments of the United States courts for debt. He justifies this, however, on the ground that it was just as necessary to the reorganisation of society and the restoration of industry as anything he did, almost as much as the preservation of order. The close of the war found South Carolina in • condition of which I suppose it would be impos sible to form an idea from the experience of any recent European wars. The State was devastated, , and not only this, but the large portion of its white population was left helpless to a degree, which no European can understand. Nothing that can happen to any man not on the throne in a free • country can reduce him to the condition of slave ' holders who have suddenly lost their slaves, and especially slaveholders like those of South Carolina, who had always been remarkable for an almost Chinese imperviousness to outside influences and ideas. They were utterly bewildered by finding themselves left face to face with their own neces sities, and were perfectly blind with rage. They had not only to accustom themselves to the use of free labour but had to labour themselves, and if their creditors had been allowed to come upon them while going through this ordeal, their re covery would have in most cases been impossible. It may of course be said that the arrest of legal process by military officers is a dangerous precedent ; but it is no more dangerous when the process is that of the Federal than when it is that of the State courts, and no objection is made by Mr. Johnson, for none can be made under the act of Congress, to the district commanders dealing with the State courts in any way they see fit. But he denies the right of Congress to arrest the action of the Federal courts under any circum stances. This point, of course, involves every point in the controversy ; to concede it is to concede everything. If Congress cannot authorise a com manding officer at the South to suspend the execu tion of a Federal writ of fi. fa., it cannot authorise him to refuse obedience to • Federal writ of habeas corpus ; and if it cannot do this, the recon struction process is at an end, and the South mart be released from coercion. As far as regards the danger to public liberty which Mr. Johuson pro femme to find in General Sickles's action, there is, of course, no difference in principle between resist ance to one court and resistance to another. If a military officer, by tying the hands of one judge, puts freedom in danger, he does it equally by tying the hands of another. The source from which the judge's authority emanates is of no con sequence. The essence of the peril, if peril there be, lies in the fact that the officer's will becomes the law of the land. There ap pears to be little question, however, that in this objection to Sickles's action Mr. Johnson thinks be has made a grand discovery, and that it has furnished him with a weapon that will carry havoc into the radical ranks. But lam bound to say that he produces very little impression on the public mind anywhere by his points. His selection of Binckley as " acting attorney-general," to argue the case against Sickles, has deprived his legal posi tion of all respectability in the eyes of even hie owu friends. Some of the hardest things said of him just now are said by the democratic papers, which utterly repudiate him as a democratic leader, and the republican contempt and indifference are stimulated by seeing that he apparently produces no impression and raises no expectations at the South. [STAIdPSD, la. ADDITIONAL] The New York Constitutional Convention has adjourned until November. It has not nearly I completed its work, and has fallen far short of what was expected of it thus far. The suffrage question still remains unsettled ; the same thing may be said of tho judiciary, and of muni cipal governments. The committees on these sub- Pieta have all reported, but the convention has not acted on their reports. The moil on the, judiciary recommends tenure of office during good behaviour, or until the age of event years ; and election. The country diatricts,"it was felt, could never be induced to go bach to tlnaold system of appointment by the governor, because they feel they get better judges under the present system of popular selection than they did under that. This is of course, very far from true of the large cities, but unfortunately, as far as this is concerned, the former are the ruling power in the State, and they cannot be induced to change their own ways for the benefit of the city, and it is doubtful whether they would be willing to make an exception to their general democratic theory in the case of the cities. It is generally acknowledged that the plan now proposed would work well everywhere but in New York, and it would perhaps work well in New York if it were not made a separate judicial dis trict electing its own judges, as it is now.

The negotiations that have been pending for a long time between the King of Prussia and the ex- King of Hanover concerning the future financial position of the latter have now been brought to a satisfactory conclusion, chiefly in consequence of the declaration of his Prussian Majesty, that if the question were not finally settled before the end of September he should no longer be able to act in the matter by his own free will, but should then have to bring the future arrangement before the Prussian parliament and be guided by their decision, which would probably not be so favourable as the terms now offered. This induced the ex-King to sign the convention at the eleventh hour, and matters were further facilitated by the absence of a formal abdi cation, as was at first insisted on. But the docu ment has a political importance, for, though only nominally of a financial nature, by it the ex-King virtually recognises the new order of things, thus ad mitting and indirectly confirming his abdication. By the terms of the treaty King George is to receive the sum of 16 millions of dollars, and the summer palace of Herrenhausen, near Hanover, with its domains, is to be considered his private property, but placed under Prussian administration ; as one of the principal conditions is that he is never again to reside in his former kingdom. Nothing is said in the convention relative to the interest on the 1 600,0001. standing in his name in the Three per Cent. Consols, which he will, therefore, continue to enjoy ; but it is stipulated that he shall deliver up to Pr ussia the money and state securities that he managed to send over to London last year, and which are now lying in the Bank of England. The reports that have been for some time circulated respecting the conversion of the ex-Queen Marie to the Roman catholic church are now officially con firmed, and Father Blachard, a catholic priest, who was last year banished from Hanover for his in trigues in the interests of the Guelphic dynasty, has assumed the title and writes on his visiting cards " Father Confessor to her Majesty Queen Marie of Hanover." Within the last few days the treaty between the Crown of Prussia and the ex-Duke of Nassau has also been concluded, the principal stipulations being as follows : The ex-Duke receives the nominal sum of fifteen millions of florins in Prussian funds, bearing 411 per cent. interest, with the interest on the same from JAIL 1, 1867 ; the palace at Bieberich on the Rhine, with its gardens' and circumjacent domains ; the Castle of Weilburg, with its gardens and appurtenances; the palace in the Sonnenberg-street at Wiesbaden, with the gar dens and buildings belonging to it ; the hunting lodge on the Platte, near Wiesbaden, with the forester, dwelling-house and garden ; the so-called Saupark, near the Platte, with an area of forest land ; the forest of Grub, near Wiesbaden, with the Greek chapel ; the estate of Hornau ; and the stock of wines conveyed last year for security to Strasburg, but subsequently claimed by Prussia. (The value of these wines is esti mated at a million of florins.) The ex-Duchess is to remain in the possession of Konigstein and its domains. The Crown of Prussia undertakes the payment of the apanage of Prince Nicholas of Nassau, the half brother of the ex-Duke Adolph, amounting to 18,0008. per annum, as well as the pensions and annuities hitherto payable out of the domain fund, and further the war loan contracted last year with the house of Rothschild at Frank fort. Finally, Prussia abandons her claim to re imbursement of the 10,6008. appropriated by the ex-Duke for his own private expenses out of the domain fund belonging to the state. On the other hand, the cellar of choice wines at Rudesheim belonging to the state, and which fell into the hands of the Prussians last year, has been officially transferred by the Minister for War at Berlin to the Finance Department, and is to be brought to the hammer. It contains fourteen casks of the best description of Rudesheim wine. The nomination at Bradford is fixed for Tuesday next, end the polling for thelollowing day. !►t tho first meeting of the committee on Friday, the 4th, for carrying out the arrangements for the ensuing Lord Mayor's day, Mr. Deputy Tegg was elected chairman, and Mr. Jame' Allen secretary.

Another boy died yester ay morning, named Nolan, and the other lads, Lynch, Lee, and Webb, remain still in a very precarious condi tioh there being but slight hopes of their recovery. NOVEL RESULT OF A STRIKE.—On Saturday, at the Huddersfield Police-court, Messrs. Liddell and Martin, woollen manufacturers, Lindley, sued John Hincbliffe, broad power-loom weaver, for compensation under the Masters and Servant. Act, in consequence of lou sustained by them through Hinchliffe and 18 other weavers ceasing work before they had finished the piece then in their looms. Mr. John Sykes prosecuted, and Mr. J. I. Free man defended. On the 12th September certain rules were adopted, and copies placed in the weaving shed of the prosecutors but one of the rules which the men had pre viously agreed to not being satisfactory to the operatives, nineteen of them struck weak on the 26th September, having their pieces unfinished, and causing a loss to their employers of 461. 61., and the defendant was sued for 2/. 6s. 3d., being one-nineteenth part of the lose. After • bearing which lasted three-and-alkali hours, the case was determined in favour of the prosecutors, and the defendant was ordered to pay 21. 6s. 3d. and the costs. THE WSATH ER IN SCOTLAND. —The high and piercing winds which prevailed in the early part of Let week gave place towards the close to calm but very cold wintry weather. There was a keen breeze from the north during the day on Thursday and Friday; and at night there were several degrees of frost. Saturday was bright and clear, and somewhat milder; but there was again treat after nightfall. A heavy fog hung around the city during the whole of yesterday (Sunday), and some rain fell in the afternoon, but the evening was fair, though cloudy. The cereal crops have been almost wholly secured during the last week, and potato lifting is now pretty generally com menced. All the Leith and continental steamers, for whose safety some anxiety was felt inthe end of last week, have now arrived, or have been heard of.

[TWOPENCE Sat JALIINS KAY•SNUTTLEWUt:TN'S SCHOOL RECOLLECTIONS. On Saturday evening, the 28th ult., about 400 pomade of all ages, who had been scholars in the Bamford Sunday school, accepted an invitation from the present teaches' and friends to tea. After tea the minister of the place, the Rev. Jwstre BROWNX, took the ohau, briefly addressed the company, and read some letters from old scholars who could not be present. Mr. Browne also read the following interesting letter from Sir J. P. Kay•Shuttleworth, Bart., a former superintendent: " Barbee, Westmoreland, Sept. 7.5, 1867. "My dear Friends,—l regret that I cannot hope to avail myself of your minister's iuvitation to be present at the meeting of the old scholars of the Bamford Sunday school. Probably few among you know that, for two or three years before I went to college, and while I was living with ray uncle Fenton at Batutord-hall, I took • very lively intermit in your schooL I was a youth between fifteen and eighteen years of age, and I devoted my leisure to the organisation and management of the boys' school. 'Robert Porter, a deacon of the independent church, bad charge of the girls' school. As th ese early events of my youth have never faded from my memory, nor lost their hold upon my feelinp, some of say remembrances may be I interesting to you. Among the moat prominent of these is my association with Thomas Jackson. He was the son of the minister, and my moat active sasistant. He was then a youth, learning his trade as • sboeuraker. He wee crippled in the foot and leg, and of by so means • ro bust constitution ; but he had a wiry vigour of frame, singular activity and energy, and considerable mental power, bet only a very bumble elementary education. He had then much quaint humour, was prone to be arch and sarcastic, and was full of practical jokes. Beneath this surface there was a depth and amputees of pur pose, and • sincere and fervent piety, which directed his whole after-life. He taught in the Sunday-echool very re gularly, and with great energy. • • • • • I was fond of accompanying the deacons in their visits on Sun days to remote folds' and hamlets in the hills of Black stone Edge and Todmorden, or sleet the range from Hnowl-hill to Rowley-moor. I remember long walks with the deacon, John Crabtree; his pious conversation on the way, our &Irina at a weaver's cottage in some far distant fold' on the edge of • wild moor, the simple breakfast of oatcake or oatmeal porridge and milk, the gathering of the neighbours, and the primi tive scriptural greetings sometimes uttered, the simple eel-vices, and the quaint, rather dogmatic discourse of my friend John. The mid-day meal of eggs, bacon, end oat cake ; then the walk home, and the arrival at Rumford in the twilight or night. In these walks John bent his whole influence to induce me to become • missionary ; but I had an eager thirst for knowledge, and longed to go to the university to study science, history, and metaphysics. You know that the mantle of John Crabtree fell ou my friend, Themes Jackson, who; in after years, while he sup ported his family by working at his tends as • shoemaker, became adevoted missionary amongthe military hamletissul remote villages of our Lancashire and Yorkshire highlands. I have often heard him preach. His discourses were care fully prepared. They were characterised by much of the quaintness of the old divines, and deeply tinctured by • severe form of Calvinistic theology. But his icination prevented his style from being harsh, and the geniality of his disposition gave • winning sweetness to his manner, so that the sternest doctrines of his creed were not repulsive from his lips. I visited him from time to time to imbibe somewhat of the spirit of his earnest life, and give him some slight proof of sympathy in his labour.. Thus I came to know that Thomas visited many outlying congre gations of weavers, miners, and labourers on the borders of Derbyshire and Cheshire, and along theßlukstone Edge range of hill.. He walked great distances to places re plete from any public conveyance. He commonly lodged on the Saturday and Sunday nights in the cottage of the deacon or other prominent member of the little con gregation, and conducted the worship on the Sunday, either in some small chapel or in • cottage. There must be in many secluded places a lively remembrance of the earnest, nuwearied man who spent his life in such humble but faithful imitation of Christ. I have a heartfelt plea sure in holding up to you the example of this noble hearted, good man—in pointing to his simple, cheerful life—to his struggle with natural infirmity of body, and his triumph over it, and to his self-sacrificing labours under the influence of fervent religious zeal. At last, he bad to suffer under grievous chronic disease, which slowly wasted his strength, until his life flickered out. But his hope rose as his vital fore, failed, and he died strong in faith and full of charity. I wish I could remeuiber as much of John Ashworth who was one of my scholars in your Sunday school. Yon know that John Ashworth is the missionary of Rochdale. He has published beets, of which some hundred thousand copies hare been sold. He has done more than any other man to keep alive and spread the faith in Christ among the manual labour class in the valley of the Roche, and his missionary labours extend to many distant pieces. Early in the cotton famine I visited Rochdale with a friend, to make myself acquainted with the orpoisatioo of relief there. We were in the stores from which bread, meal, soup, and other food were given, and were examining the forms of their amounts, and the modes of distribution. Two members of the relief committee were explaining to us their methods, when one of them said to me, • I am one of your former Sunday scholars.' At Bamford Chapel?' I inquired. Yes,' he mid, 'I am John Ashworth.' I did not before that know that John Ashworth bad been one of our Bamford Sunday scholars. Since that time I have read all John Ashworth's tracts, and watched his career. My conviction is that be is • noble-hearted man, with • natural genius fur his work as an evangelist. You ought to rejoice, as I do, that your Sunday echoed has pro duced such • man. I would not have you, however, think that the Sunday school can do all that is needed in the instruction and training of youth. The Sunday school was the root from which sprang our system of day schools. The force which makes religious training the chief aim of the elementary day school was derived from this root. The congregational organisation of our school system had the same origin. Long before even en lightened statesmen and leaders of public opinion cared for the education of the people the congregation had begun the work in the Sunday school. When the government first attempted to organise national education, it not only found this machinery ready to its hand, but it also, after various experiments in other directions, found that the churches and congregations contained within themselves a zeal and purpose as to public education which existed in no civic body, not even in the parliament itself. Even now, when great political changes have niade the edu. anon of the people • necessity of the state, I cannot conceive that any purely civic body like a com mittee of ratepayers or • town council can, in the present state of information, opinion, and feeling, without mite chief, supersede the congregation in the management of the school. On the other baud, the congregational ..:drool will have to become • public school, in which the civil rights of the minority, however small and humble, will have to be respected. On this beans the schools, which have sprung from the root of the Sunday school, and retain both the original aim of religious training and the congregational organisation, may well be included in • national system supported both by the general taxation and by local rates. Your Sunday school has, as I am in formed by your minister, borne its natural fruit —a congregational day school, attended by eighty &cholera from what I know of the district. / think this number ought to be greatly increased. That increase would be insured if your children came to school at an earlier age and remained to a later age, and if they were kept more regularly at school. Few grow up without sumo schooling, but the period of their instruction is too short and too much interrupted. You ought not to confine your exertions to the payment of the school pence, but to make whatever sacrifice of wages or of home services is required to assure to them a thorough elementary educa tion. The Sunday school will be regarded more and more as a part of the religions organisation of the congregation. The day school will, I hope, always retain the object of bringing up our youth religiously, but it will also be adapted to the political wants of the state, and to the civil rights of the minority. We do not mato revolu tions iu England, but our institutions grow and speed like our oaks. So this school system, which has had a congregational origin, will grow, change, and spread until it is national. New I bid you Godspeed. I have written all thew words from my heart. I often think of l'..inford, and I should not wonder if, among my last thoughts, is tbe Sunday school in the organisation and management of which I, 4.1 years ago, received the first impuhe to ob serve, inquire, and ponder on the methods and discipline of schools for the people.—l am, my dear friends, your sincere well-wisher, (Signed) "JAMES P.

The law is clear, that the ex•otdieial power is sufficient to arm the government with all proper authority.
