As a counter-irritant to the Conferenoe (which is beginning to act like a blister upon the temper of Parliament), this miserable Ashantee affair is an instance of one of those remote and unexpected questions which, amidst the vast variety and vagueness of British interests in all parts of the world, arise sometimes no bigger than a man's hand upon the horizon, and suddenly loom over Downing-street dark with menace and ominous of mischief. When the great Duke said that a great country could not have a little war, perhaps (as he was speaking of Great Britain) he did not mean that the smallest war must be greatly mismanaged ; but the dictum is certainly open to that interpretation. This untoward little African war, if, as one of the speakers remarked last night, war it can be called where there is no fighting, is no exception to the national experience in such cases, large or small. For it re solves itself into a question of administrative blunder and neglect. It is but one more chapter added to a very old story which we had almost forgotten, while we were acutely criticizing our American kinsmen ; a story of which an ex- Minister of War now speaks in the slashing style of a newspaper correspondent, as if he had never set foot in the War-office or enjoyed the confidence and companionship of the Horse Guards. Whom are we to blame f on whom are we to fix the responsibility, on the Colonial-office, the War De partment, or the Admiralty I—exclaims General PERE. When the Sec:armor of the AominsEtv protests that it is not a party question, the Oppo sition cheers the sentiment ironically. The fact is—as who could doubt last night I—this absurd and dismal expedition against the King of Asuisre.r., beginning and ending as it did in a swamp, has been , exag gerated by strong and natural personal feelings into a party attack upon the policy and conduct of a whole Government when a notorious Depart ment was the real and only criminal. The Under Secretary of the Colonies might have spared him self the trouble and the pain of defending that traditional colonial policy on the Gold Coast, in pursuance of which Governor PINE had solicited and received conditional and guarded instructions to take measures for the protection of the rights and honour of the British protectorate insulted and assailed by the King of Ashantee. Our African policy was not the matter of debate ; it is a policy for which neither the present nor the late Colonial Secretary can be held responsible, and which Sir JOHN PAK INGTON, himself a sometime Colonial Secretary, with at least as much discretion as good feeling, abstained from calling in question. The mover of the hostile motion condemned the Government for the misconduct of an expedition which had cost the country many valu►ble lives in v►in. A reinforcement of eleven hundred men had been sent toact underthe orders of Governor PINE against the tribes of the K ins of ASKS:NICE. That sagacious and experienced savngecontented himself with allowing Governor Pixie troops to perish where they stood without advancing ay ard to meet them. An unusually early rainy season surprised them lying out in a swamp, unprepared, unfurnished, unsheltered, and struck them down without mercy. Service upon that cruel coast is so murderous at all times, that wholesale mortality in a campaign, amongst, even in barracks, European officers, is easy to socou nt for. In the present instance the mortality was perhaps not more than usually severe among the otti - cersof theunseasonedtroops, but among the victims was a gallant end distinguished officer, whose name and fate could not but excite unusual attention and sympathy in the House of Commons. Could this deplorable, if not unusual, sacrifice of precious lives have been prevented, or at least mjtigated,by due forethought and precaution on the part of the responsible departments at home—the War-office and the Horse-guards I It would be difficult, we apprehend, for any dispassionate reader of these Ashantee papers, or any hearer of the debate last night, to acquit these respectable and privileged delinquents, though it may be granted that the Under Secretary for Warpersonifieswith exasperat ing felicity that happy mixture of indifference and disdain which is somehow identified in popular estimation with the inefficiency he is commissioned to defend. Toe SECRETARY of the ADMIRALTY was, we need hardly say, a much more plausible apologist ; we are bound to add that he was a much more sunicieut and successful one. The Admiralty had been accused of letting a whole month pass since Mr. Csaewr.LE gave solemn pledges to the House, without even taking up a trans port ship to bring away those unhappy reinforce ments rotting on the Gold Coast. Lord CLARENCE Pt.:ET declares that immediately after Mr. Cast. wEtt's promise to that effect the Admiralty ad vertised for tenders, that for the delay the ship owners and brokers are responsible, and that at Sir JulIN Hay's personal and urgent soli citation Her Mssturrv's ship Gladiator, a roomy and commodious ship for the conveyance of troops (not, as had been insinuated, a sickly and insufficient ship) was to sail to-morrow for Cape Coast Castle, and a sailing transport to follow on Wednesday next. The original inten tion of the Admiralty had been to despatch the sailing transport alone, with a steam frigate to tow her clear of the Bay of Biscay ; and it was calcu lated that she would reach Cape Coast Castle in six weeks. But these are details. The indigna tion of the House, which administered so severe a lesson to Government in the division, wee excited THE . EX UP S * S3TVRP4T i t, by suspicions of grievous indifference spOsjet on the part of the War Department, on the part of the Admiralty. Bat wee s not engaged in preparing for the defence of "as Dannewerke when this little war, but great disas ter, was being transacted in Aid:Antes I LORD ELLE/MOROI:KIR Made a masterly speech last night, using, as he observed, what might prove the hat opportunity of doing any good by bring ing under consideration the actual position of the Danish question. His address placed in a striking light the danger to be apprehended when well meaning neutral Powers, in the supposed interest of peace, hasten to supply that moral sanction which conquerors in an unjust war must always feel to be the one thing wanting to the achievements of force. Earl RUSSELL observed that, while the Conference is sitting, the month of the Govern ment is closed; and the Earl of DERBY said the same for the Opposition ; so that Parlia ment is quite excluded from the momentous trans actions which are now taking place in the name of the country. Lord DERBY intimates, indeed, that he has a great deal to say, and that he will say it when the present negotiations are at an end. But they must end either in a general agreement and a treaty, or in a renewal of the war. In the former event, of what use will it be to speak 1 Neither this country nor foreign Governments will care to know what Lord DERBY and his followers think when a treaty has been signed. Should, however, the negotiations fail, it will be, in Lord DERBY'S opinion, not only the right but the duty of Parlia ment to call upon the Government for a dis tinct and specific statement of the policy which they have pursued and " the course they mean "to pursue." Surely the Earl of DERBY'S language is very inconsistent. How will the right of Parliament to know beforehand the course the Government means to pursue be greater when the negotiations have been broken off than it is now I' Ever since the Conference met wo have been fail ing in our negotiations and shifting our diplo matic ground. At first we were for the Treaty of 1852, then we were for the partition of Den mark, and actually proposed a scheme to carry it into effect ; then we abandoned the line of division to which we had procured the assent of the Danes, and proposed another. Parliament knowingly suffers all this to go on, and that will be a good answer to Lord Desalt when he makes his promised attack on Earl RUSSELL'S policy. Lord DERBY repeats the customary language when, claiming credit for his recent silence, be lays down the princi ple that " her Marron's Government must bi " left, in all matters of this kind, with the ex " elusive responsibility for the course and issue "of the negotiations." Parliament can, if it will, forego its function; and leave the exclusive manage ment of foreign affairs to the Government, but it is idle to talk of the "responsibility" of Ministers in these days. The word once had a meaning as applied to the advisers of the Crown, but that is long ago. What Lord DERBY means is that it is convenient for him and his friends to let public affairs go from bad to worse without stirring finger, and then get up a grand party fight which may help them to office, but can be of no service to the nation. In nineteen cases out of twenti it will be found that when Ministers are doing that which cannot be freely discussed in Parliament, they are where they have no business to be, and doing something moat likely to be mischievous.

REIOLUTIONB IT EARL GREY. • Ou the lat of gyt Routh Earl Grey will mei In the Boum of I.oidi the following resolutions relating to Japan : " 1. That the relations between this oountry and Japan appear to this bowie to be at present in a highly unsatis factory dab : "2. That it is shown by the papers laid before parliament by command of her Majesty that the treaty concluded be tween bet Majesty and the Tycoon of Japan on the 26th of August, 1858, gives to British subjects in J span rights and priviltsges which the government of that country was avowedly reluotent to grant, and wee only induced to con fer upon them through dried of British naval and military power: "3. That the government of Japan has also bees induced by this same fear to make with other European nations and with the United States treaties generally similar to that which it hu concluded with her Majesty : "4. That under the above•uamed treaty British +objects ere entitled to claim admission into certain portions of the territory of Japan without being subject to the jurisdiction of its government, her Majesty having taken upoa herself the obligation of enforcing on their part good conduct and obedience to the law : " 5 That the reportn of her Majesty's diplomatic servants show that her Majesty ban riot turnable to fulfil this obliga tion. The provisions of the statutes ►uthorising her Ma jesty's consuls to try and punish British subjects for offences committed in Japan, and the means available for carrying these laws into effect, have proved altogether insufficient to prevent gross outrages and insult. from being indicted on the people of Japan by British subjects and persons assuming that character : "6. That the animosity *rudest foreigners excited in the minds of the Japanese by these outrages and insults his in creased the repugnance long felt by the most powerful alarm among them to increased intercourse with European nations, and has led to the per potation of some murders and several daring and desperate attacks upon foreigners ; diplomatic servants and other subjects of her Majesty hav ing been among the sufferers from these acts of violence : 7. That the government of the Tycoon has professed the strongest desire to prevent the commission of these crimes, sad to punish their perpetrators, but has declared itself unable to do so ; nor does there smear to be any reason to doubt the tenth of these declarations, since two tycoons and a regent of Japan have themselves been mur• clued, and one of the principal milliliters uarrowly escaped the same fete, owing to the hostility they had incurred from being supposed to favour an increased intercourse with foreigners ; "8. That in order to enforce a demand made by her Majesty e government of redress for the murder of a British subject it was found neossury to undertake hostile operations against one of the daimios, in the course of which eoesiderable loss was experienced by her Majesty's ships and a large and flourishing Japanese town was burnt to the ground : " - 9. That this cape ience of what has already taken place leaves little hope for the future of ate being possible to avert fresh collisions between her Majesty's subject' and the Japanese if the existing arrangements foe regulating the totercoutee between them are maintained unfiltered ; and if such collisions should occur they must sooner or later lead to a war which would necessarily cost many lives and much money both to this country and to Japan, and would probably bring upon the latter the heavy calamities of several anarchy and confusion from the destruction of its existing government, while there would be no means of creating any other authority to replace it : " 10. That, apart from all higher considerations, the true interests of this country, and c -nodally its permanent com mercial interests, cab lee that such calamitous results should not be risked by maintaining the existing treaty with Japan unaltered, and that it is dettrahle that the provisions of this treaty should be so modified as to place the future inter course of tho two nations on a better footing for the future : "11. That it would 'therefore be advisable that her Majesty's servants shou el without delay enter into a friendly communication with the government of Japan and with the governments of other nations having treaties with Japan similar to our own, for the purpose of determining what changes it would be expedient to make in the pro visions of these treatise : " 12. That an humble address be presented to her Majesty to lay before her Majesty the substance of the foregoing resolutions, and humbly to pray that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to take the same into her serious con sideration, with the view of adopting such measures as may be found best calculated to avert war between this country and Japan, and to promote an increase of trade and friendly iotercoaree between the two nations to their mutual advan tage."

The association has from year to year collected • large amount of evidence bearing upon the condition of middle-class education, and there has been a general concurrence of opinion that it is at present in a most unsatisfactory state. Several of the eminent men who have at our annual meet ings filled the oßoe of president of the Department of Edu cation, have expressed themselves strongly to this effect. Sir Job. Psldngton in his address, in 1857, remarked that it was great error to suppose that the only educetional diffi culties were those relating to the working classes. know,' he said, that the middle classes god themselves in • position of great difficulty on this subject. It is the re spectable tradesman, the small farmer, the clerk, and men of that descriptien who know not where to get education for their children, and who, practically speaking, pay very dearly for • bad article. The Right Hon. William Cowper, in 1858, said, The education given in the middle-class and commercial schools is, generally speaking, se faulty, in comparison with all other education, as it is bad in itself. It has great proton.. .ion and show without substance or solidity. There is no tenet icteodence whatever. There is no test of the capacity of the master, and no test of the success of his teaching. The parents are left to judge, after their own uninstructed no tions, of the excellence of the school, and generally pay most enmities' to what is really of the learn importance? In 1859 the Right lion. C. B. Adderley pointed out that the middle-clam have mama to be dissatisfied with their present means of edncation tho private commercial and endowed grammar schools Of the country ; and Sir John Shaw Lefevre, in 1861, speaking of the civil service exami nations for appointments, which are filled up from the middle classes, as • practical test of the education they re ceive, said, ' I may mention the incredible (aileron in ortho graphy, the miserable writing, the ignorance both of the else:enter, theory and practice of arithmetic. It is com paratively rare to find • candidate who can add correctly a moderately long column of figures, and many do not under stead commie notation so to write down is figures a num ber described in weeds. When the examination extends to English composition, or history, the performances of some of the candidates are poor beyond be. lief, and we are under the necessity of keeping the standard very low, in order to prevent the public iocon veairmos which would arise from an indiscriminate rejec tion.' Mr. Nassau &Moe, quoting, in his address to the association,last autumn, at E 'inhere', the above passage from his redeormot's observations, and enforcing it by his own opinion, proceeded to make the following sugges tion :—' The first step towards a remedy for this lamentable state of things, is to know aecurately the amount, and the causes of the evil. And for this purpose, I van. tare to propose that this association petition the crown to issue a commission to inquire into the present stele of the education of the middle classes in the British islands, and to eoosider, and report, what 111•411111€4, if any, are required for the extension of sound education to these dame. This recommeadation of their president was duly considered by our department of educa tion, and • resolution was unanimously passed request isg the council to use their endeavours for the issue of such • commission as was proposed by Mr. Senior. In the performance of the duty thus cast on them, the council approach your lordship today, and they may be permitted to say that the recent loss incurred by the also. elation in the death of Mr. Senior makes them the more solicitous that his advice, given on the lest oc melon of his performance of any public duty, should not be disregarded. The council would further observe that full and searching inquiry has recently been made into the state of education among two consider able classes of society ; the one by the commission to in quire into the revenues and management of certain colleges and schools, and the studies pursued and the instruction given therein the other by the commission 'to inquire into the state of popular education in England that much valuable information was obtained in each case, and that considerable improvements by legislation and otherwise have already resulted, or may be expected to result in the education of the children et the rich, end of these of the class who live by manual labour. These facts seem to con stitute a claim fcr some inquiry on behalf of that large por tion of her Majesty's subjects who cannot look for the edu cation of their children either to the great public reboots on I the one band, or the national schools oo the other. Earl Fertescum in a work just published, has pointed out the Jejune, of leaving this class in their present educational position, and has shown than an authoritative inquiry may be conducted on their behalf without involving any more interference with private instruction than has been the case with the commission already issued. This appears from the fact there are in this country some hundreds of grammar schools and other sodowed schools, which have never yet formed the subject of adequate inquiry, and which might probably be made available for supplying in • great degree the want of efficient education for the middle classes. It is true that these foundations were inquired into by the charity commissioners, but the investigations of that body were mainly directed to the amount and use of the endowments, and cot to the edecation imparted in the schools. The council would strongly urge on your lordship the noose city for inquiry into the whole • condition and management of these institutions ; and while sot prepared to recommend say interference with private schools, they suggest that the investigation of • COMMYSiON if properly cooducted, would probably lead to the communicstion of voluntary information, which would throw much valuable light oe the condition of middle-class educatioe, and the best means of improvise the same. For them reasons the council venture to urge an your lordship the favourable coalcieratioo of their request that • royal commission be issued forthwith for t h e purposes they have above in. dicated." MR. GLADSTONE AND THE FRANClTlRE.—Yesterday • deputatioa, consisting of Mr. J. P. Brown Westhead, M.P.. and Mr. Alderman Leeman, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his town residence, in Colton House-terrace, sod presented to him au address, which was elaborately illuminated, and bound i n • thi n volume. The address had been voted at a public ?ileitis( of the usesfranobised dames, held at York, and was signed by Mr. Ovules Ernest, the chairman of the meeting.

LAIIIST INTELLIGENCE. ENGLAND AND THE CONFERENCE. A letter from Vienna in the Boerstillifitk SOD. tains the following : The last confidential negotiations which have taken place between the different plenipotentiaries of the conference of London seem to prove clearly enough that England, which has limited herself hitherto to a moat obstinate ant hostile attitude towards Germany, now contends with more tenuity than ever for the line proposal by her of the Bchlei, and even goes so far as directly to threaten the great German powers with en armed intervention in use of a long resistance on their part. It remains to be seen whether these metnows will be this time more serious than those on many preceding occasions. If anything wen wanted to give for the moment more im. penance to this attitude of England, it would be the im pression foamed at the Tuileries by the news of the inter. views of the northern sovereigns at Berlin, at Kissiugea, and at Carlsbad. In any use the efforts which Itusaia is tasking to form a close atheism* with Germany will not be viewed in a favourable manner at Paris, but this is no rea- son why the august diplomacy of the Tuileries should hasten to cast itself into the arms of that same England which would be capable of noompeosing it, at the first critical moment that arrived, by a new edition of its Mexican (astnse's numums.) PRUSSIA, AUSTRIA, AND THE CONFERENCE. VIENNA, JUNE 18. The Press of to-day says :—" Prussia and Austria have agreed to consent either to the pro longation of the suspension of hostilities or to the conclusion of a definitive armistice only upon the following terms :—Denmark to consent to the cession of that portion of north Sleswig bounded by the Flensburg Tonder line, or at least to enter into negotiations based upon that line of demarcation." DENMARK AND THE CONFERENCE. COPENHAGEN JuNs 17, 11.32 A.m. Fddrelandet of to-day believes itself able to state that Denmark consented to the prolongation of the armistice for another fortnight solely upon the ex. press condition that England should maintain her original proposal for the division of Sleswig ; and, should it be rejected by the Germans, not to make, as hitherto, any fresh proposal on the sub ject of the division. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (rßolt ova owx coartisroansse.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENISG. There is a remarkable—not to say an ominous— silence in the French press on the subject of the really frightful outrage upon the sanctity of private dwellings committed yesterday. The Moniteur and Conslitutionnel do not even mention the fact—pass ing it over as too insignificant for notice. The iNbats and &Me, probably warned by the black man, reproduce in their third page, in small print and among trivial accidents and offences, the para graph in yesterdaV's Patric. The Opinion No tionak ventures upon a few observations this evening which completely confirm what I told you yesterday i.e., that the object of the extraordinary violent measure resorted to was to strike terror on the eve of the elections for the councils-general. The offence charged against the gentlemen whose domiciles were violated is that of belonging to an "illicit electoral association." The commissary of police's brief is headed "Affair Dreo and others." M. Dreo is 31. Gamier Page s' son in-law. The Opinion says that similar domiciliary visits have been made in many parts of France. The Pays—without alluding plainly to the above alarming facts—has a truculent article upon the elections, in which it asserts that politics must not be " permitted " to set foot upon the ground of the departmental elections, and says that what the electors lace to do is to show their gratitude by re-electing those councillors who go out by rotation, and qualifies all opposition candidates as " intruders and " birds of prey." Such language, when backed up by such acts as the police have just committed in Paris, is scandalous. If it were true, as the Pays pretends, that political men have no right to canvass for the councils-general, what is the meaning of the ad dresses which MM. Fould, de Morny, Persigny, and many other leading government men never fail to issue to the electors I I have not for a long time seen anything so like a reign of terror as that which now prevails. The Prase pretends to know that the congress of three sovereigns at Kimeugen, the announcement of which has made • great noise in a very short time, will, after all, not take place. Its explana tion—no doubt furnished by some embassy—and not very reliable, is that the Emperor and Empress of Russia and the Emperor and Empress of Austria happen, quite accidentally, to be going at the same time to take the Kissengen waters, and that of course they will meet ; that the King of Prussia happens also to be going for his health to Carlsbad, which is on Austrian territory, and therefore the Emperor of Austria cannot in courtesy do other wise than pay him a visit. The Prase affirms positively that the three sovereigns will not at any moment be altogether. Count Pepoli, the Italian minister at St. Peters burg, arrived in Paris yesterday, and proceeded immediately to Fontainebleau. It has been ni -1 moured that the object of his journey was to make arrangements for an Italian intervention in Tunis, which it was thought would present less incon venience than • joint expedition by France and England—powers which, however well they may be agreed upon a special point, can scarcely take military action together for any length of time without jealousy. The laditpeadance, however, mays that the project of an exclusively Italian occu pation is abandoned, and that the French Emperor has given it very clearly to be understood at Con stantinople that if existing grievances continue he shall redress them himself. It is announoed that the Japanese embassy, now at Paris, and which proposed to proceed succes sively to England, Holland, Prussia, and Switzer• land, has suddenly changed its purpose in conse quence of important news from Japan, and that it will return at once to Yeddo. The body of La Pommerais was exhumed on Saturday, in the presence of some members of his family, to be removed fur interment to his native place, Olivet. Madame La Pommorais wishes it to be made known that the lock of her husband's hair which she asked for was not cut off, as stated, by the executioner, but by the chaplain.
