IT is not often that we are able to quote Sir Joins T. Courainoz as a sound expositor of liberal and progressive opinions. Prone to look at the past rather than the future, his views of public affairs are sometimes deeply tinged with that meditative and sentimental conservatism which belongs to natures sensitive and refined rather than robust. His defence of church rates, for example, this time last year, was a fine example in politics of what Mr. RI:1111LIN calls the " pathetic fallacy " in art. But there is little trace of this reactionary weak ness in the lecture he delivered at Tiverton last week on " Public Schools." On the contrary, the address is remarkable fur the breadth and libe rality of its general views of education, especially in its most important practical aspect, as affecting the middle and lower classes. Sir J. T. Coax• RIIK:C told his hearers that the whole question of Education had engaged his mind for many years, and as the result of his study and observation he his arrived at views much in advance of those still current amongst many of even the more intelligent members of his party. In the first place, while urging the importance of raising the general standard of education throughout the country, he places the ne cessity for this higher national progress on its true grounds. "He had felt the deep. " set anxiety for the spread and improvement "of education among all classes. The wants of " the country and the circumstances of the times " he believed made the call for its extension and " improvement more urgent He had said before, " and he repeated it now, because he was con " winced of the truth of it, that the irresistible ten " dency of the times was not so much to increase "education as to bring into activity the political " power of what were called the lower classes of " the country. This was so marked a tendency, it " 1 was so regular in its advance, so vigorous in its " springs of action, that it could not be over " looked. It therefore became their duty to strive " to make the classes in question fit to exercise " the functions cast upon them." Sir J. T. CoLERILma truly says, that the irresistible ten dency of the times is to bring into activity the political power of all classes, and especially of those who have hitherto possessed it in the lowest degree, or not at all. In other words, it is inevi table that the rights and duties of citizenship should gradually become more widely extended amongst the people. This is the great law of r.ditical progress, and its workings in any country %ill he seen just in proportion to the vigour and frveduut of national life. In a free country like our own political power must necessarily spread amongst all classes, and education is needed to fit for its exercise. These just views of Sir J. T. Cotganeas are in striking con treat to those we recently quoted from the Satter day Rrririr on the subject of middle-class educa tion. The Conservative journal objects to any substantial improvement of middle-class educa tion, on the ground that it would tend to raise the pupils above their station. The Conservative judge strongly urges a higher standard of teach ing on the more rational ground that it would fit them for their dirties. Our weekly contemporary assumes that a good education would unfit sell siblo youths for the pursuits of trade and corn :nerve. It would not be difficult to show that such an assumption betrays not only a grievous misconception of the true end of education, but a radical scepticism as to its real value. Education is not designed to make a man either a lawyer or a grocer. Its true aim is to train and discipline the faculties of the mind, and thus fit them for prompt and vigorous use in the active business of life. And if such training has any intrinsic worth at all it must tend to strengthen the judgment and improve the character, instead of leading youths into fatal mistakes, and making them gicator fools than they otherwise would have been. Sir J. T. COLEILIDOS answers another and more selfish objection urged by our contemporary against raising the standard of Middle-Class Education. It is that "the market of in " telledual labour being rather glutted," middle class youths ought not to be tempted in any way to compete with the class above them who are now educated for intellectual callings. This auda cious chdin to a monopoly of intellectual rewards loses sight of the fact that of old both classes, the higher and lower, enjoyed together the advan tages public school education, and that the highest amnia in English literature include many who rose from the lowest ranks of the middle class. Sir J. T. Cotsittnur, rejecting the plea of privilege and monopoly, urges the far more just and genet ens doctrine that educational ad can tages should be extended se widely as possible. Those who are rrally superior will then justly take the tint place. "In order for the other classes to " preserve their places in society they must be " diligent in their own education. It would not " do to rest upon tradition or upon privilege, for " if they still desired to lead they must make " thetie.elcus fit to be leaders. They must strike " out with the most skilful swimmers in the race. " While all around the underwood of the forest " was making vigorous shoots, their own growth " must not be neglected lest they were overgrown. " Let them feel no dismay, for the stream which " might overwhelm if they attempted to stop it " woubl become a sourest of abundant blessing if " they dinscted its course aright." After considering the general end of education Sir J. T. Commix:it goes on to deal with means for securing it ; and here he naturally looks with fare nr on public schools as among the best instrumeuts of education. As an Old Etonian he has a generous partiality for Eton, whose leading idea he describes as " The union of liberty of action " and mdependsmos of thought in the boy with, " that maintenance of discipline and subordination " without which no school could exist." He is indeed disposed to complain that in these days tilt scholarship of the place has rather fallen below its, traditionally high standard. But the grounds of his adverse criticism are certainly narrow, and present Etonian will probably reply to it in the familiar phrase, Laudator temporis acti. The praise, however, which the learned lecturer bestowed on Eton and public schools generally as affording scope for active boyish discipline of the most valuable kind is in the main well merited. These great national institutions have un doubtedly many advantages over private schools, not only in their higher standard of attainments and more efficient means of teaching, but in that practical moral training of the playground which is derived from the mutual influence of boys on each other. Private boarding-schools do not, and generally cannot, afford such scope for the free development of the more robust and manly virtue. of character. They are almost of necessity strongly affected by small partialities, narrow standards of excellence, and injurious personal influences. There can be little of that vigorous public opinion, strong to reward and strong to punish, which, acting continually on the whole social system of a mixed multitude of youths, proves such a valuable discipline in our best public schools. But public schools are at present inaccessible except to the wealthy few. The practical question is w hether schools having the special advantages which public schools posse. might not be multiplied at a compara tively cheap rate over the country. If some plan could be devised for effecting this, the urgent problem of middle-class education would be in a fair way towards solution. THE LATE RIGHT HON. JAMES WILSON. Another heavy blow and great discouragement has fallen upon the hopes of reformed administra tion in India. Death has struck down suddenly and unexpectedly the man who, but a few short months ago, was specially selected by the home Government as the ablest and most trustworthy instrument at its disposal for the redemption of Indian finance from the ruinous state into which it had fallen, and already, ere he had time to see the first results of the bold experimental policy he had instituted, he is summoned from the scene of his arduous labours without time to think who shall enter into them. JAMES WILSON is no more. Within • month from the death of Sir HIRRY WARD of cholera this second distinguished administrator has perished in its merciless grasp. A telegram received yesterday afternoon at the India House contains only the brief announce ment of the event, which occurred on the I Ith ultimo, and of the fact that the funeral, as is ciritoinary in the region of the tropics, took place on the following day. The Executive at Calcutta is thus deprived of its most vigorous and versatile member, while the Executive at Madras is mourning its energetic and experienced chief. Losses like these may, and we trust will, in due time be repaired, but not easily or speedily. Faith in the fertility of free institutions to furnish a suc cession of competent and courageous mon to fill every post, civil or military, which the rule of an empire needs, forbids our doubting that the places now lamentably vacated, may be filled up wor thily from the ranks of that clams of self-made men to whom Wsau and Wn.sow belonged. But we know too well the influences that commonly sway the dispensation of patronage to feel too confident that the next hest men will be forthwith placed in the room of those whose premature loss we de- plore. Mr. WiLso,r, as most of our readers are doubt less aware, was the architect of his own political fortune. In trade, to which he devoted the earlier years of his life, he was not successful ; and when he began to turn his attention to statistical writing for the daily and weekly press, he was almost unknown to politicians so called. k'rom the coin- inencement of the great controversy regarding the abolition of Protection to Corn, Sugar, and Shipping, he took an active part, but rather with his pen than as a speaker. Nature had not, indeed, conferred upon him any of the gifts that render a man pleasing or impressive as an orator. Though always full of information, and capable of presenting in lucid order a vast array of arithmetical facts, he never was able to overcome a formality of expression and a monotony of tone which rendered his best efforts better to read than to hear. While, therefore, a useful ally to the Anti-Corn-Law League, he rarely took any pro minent part in their public demonstrations. His principal share in the Free Trade struggle was that borne in the pages of the Economist, a journal established by him with the aid of cortain in fluential persons of the Whig party. Through the same influence he was enabled to enter Parlia ment in 1847. His first speeches were listened to with more of curiosity than approbation, for he was too rigid a financial doctrinaire to find favour with the Tory Opposition, still smarting under their recent overthrow, and angry at the defection of their great leader and his staff; and there was nothing about the new member for Westbury to propitiate the humour of the pow aerate and fastidious section that traditionally supported a Whig Ministry. A short time, how ever, elapsed before he contrived to show his apti tude for the details of business ; and he was ap pointed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL to one of the Joint-Secretaryship' of the Board of ControL Little was said or thought in Parliament about India in those days. Lord DALHOVSIE had been nominated Governor-General to please his relative and patron the Duke of Wexamsorow ; and had the errors and excesses of his policy displayed themselves earlier than they actually did, they would not have been severely criticised by either of the great parties in the Legis lature. Mr. WILSON'S time was conse quently applied almost exclusively to the preparation and defence of the financial measures of the administration, more especially those relating to the reform of our colonial tariff. In the protracted discussions that arose upon the Sugar Duties, and in those respecting the remis sion of our ancient differential charges on foreign and colonial produce generally, the proprietor of the Economist became better known as a useful and ready parliamentary speaker. At the general election of 1852 he was reelected for Westbury ; and on the formation of the Coalition Ministry under Lord Aaearotms, he was made one of the Secretaries of the Treasury, a post he continued to fill under Lord Patrxasr►x until 1858. On the noble viscount's resumption of office in 18.59, hu was appointed Vice-President of the Boanl of Trade ; but was soon afterwards promoted to the post of Finance Minister of the Supreme Council of India ; in the discharge of the laborious duties of which he has now sunk into an untimely grave. Of his fiscal and financial policy in the East wo have so frequently and so fully spoken that it is unneceseary to recapitulate its leading features here. His mission was, as speedily as possible to make the current revenue balance this salmi THE EXPRESS. WEDNESDAY E expenditure.

So far ho seemed to have maintained himself steadfastly and successfully against all hindrances and thwarting'.

You will not fight against the armies of any of the powers, but will free those unhappy Italian provinces from the bands of foreign adventurers which infest *ern. You do not go to revenge injuries done to me and to Italy, but to prevent the popular hatred from unloosing itself against the oppressors of the country. By your example you will teach the people forgiveness of offencea, and Christian tole rance to the man who compared the love of the Italian fatherland to Islamism. " At peace with all the great powers, and holding myself aloof from any provocation, I intend to rid Central Italy of one continual cause of trouble and disoord. I intend to respect the seat of the Chief of the Church, to whom I am ever ready to give, in aooordance with the allied and friendly powers, all the guarantees of independence and security which his misguided advisers have in vain hoped to obtain for him from the fanaticism of the wicked sect which conspires against my authority and against the liberties of the nation.

The following statement was published by Le Nord in a very prominent =Liner in its paper of Tuesday " We have been for several days in possession of an important communication, which we have hesi tatsi until now to insert, notwithstanding the con fidence we hme in the correspondent by whom it is transmitted to us. We give it to-day, after having received from him a confirmation of its cor rectnass. It appears, moreover, to us to be enough in keeping with the present situation of affairs. " It relates to an arrangement under three heads, which has quite recently taken place between Eng land, Austria, and Prussia, and which has for its object to prevent any ulterior intervention of France, by arms, whether in Italy or elsewhere. The three points referred to are these :—The throe powers would engage— " Ist. To oppose any military intervention of France in Italy, under whatsoever pretext. " 2ud. To oppose any other military intervention of France in Europe without a previous under standing with the powers. "3rd. To oppose any territorial extension of France, whether by means of conquest or of bargain. "If we publish to-day . these particulars, which have been in our possession for several days past, it is because we have ground for believing that we are not alone in our knowledge of them, and that the principal cabinets of Europe are already ac quainted with them." In another editorial article Le Nerd proceeds to say : "We will not dwell upon the above statements ; not, indectl, that we have the least doubt of their authenticity, but because we do not think it would be opportune for us to aggravate, by exposing their eventual bearing, the impressions they are calcu lated to produce."

I learn also that Count Cavour is about to address to the Sardinian agents in the different courts of Europe a copy of that document, with a circelar note in which the cou duct and the acts of the government will be explained and justified. To give explanations in that manner on grave affair' is traditional in Sardinian diplomacy, and in such serious circumstances as the present the custom could not be departed from. M. Poerio and M. Mancini, who were the only two Neapolitan deputire who refused to return to their country after the amnesty, are now preparing to leave. They are warm partisans of immediate annexation to Pied mont. The municipality of Marseilles has adopted an ingenious manner of celebrating the visit of the Emperor and Empress to that city ; it has decided that 100 f. shall be deposited in the savings bank for every female child lore of poor French parent. in Marseilles on the Bth, 11th, and 10th of the present month. M. C. Berrier, a manufacturer of Liege, recently deceased, has bequeathed to the civil hospitals of the town the sum of 223,M0f., and the reversion of his dwelling house, on condition that the administration of hospitals shall pay to hie widow en annuity of 10,000 f. during her lifetime. DIMPLE/TT or Tug SEXE3 IN VII/FORIA.—Some remarkable facts respecting the disparity of the sexes in this colony are disclosed in the census of 1837. Sir Henry Barkly, the goveruor, in noticing these facts, says in a despatch :—" It now appears that, though considerable Me prweement in this respect took place between 1854 and 1857, yet that the effective disproportion at the latter period was far more serious than would be deducible from the fact of there being 153 males to every 100 females in the entire population. Since tabling the portion of it above the age of 20 years. there were no less than 217 males to that number, the proportions below that age being pretty nearly equal. The effect of this disparity may be more clearly deduced from the tables relating to the "conjugal condition of the people," which show that there were 88,335 unmarried men of 20 years of age and upward*, to but 12,541 unmarried women of corresponding nes ; ar, to raise the age of marriage for men to 21, and lower it . to 15 for mimeo, there was still an excess of 61,850 bachelors, not to add 5,112 widowers. Even this comparison, however, fails to convey a full sense of the evil as it aerate- the gold fields, when) it appears that the per oentage of unmarried men is to that to be found - in the seaport towns as 61 to 39 ; or, to state the case in another form, where the bachelors are to the spinsters in the proportion of more thee 9) to 1. There ere, moreover, 8,096 mimed men, chiefly iu the mining districts, whose wives are not in the colony. It has been allegOil during the agitation of the laud question that this state of thins is attributable to the difficulty of buying small allotments suited to agricultural purposes (for the miner's right itself sanctions a certain area for residence) ; but this idea is not borne out by the figures, which mani fest an extraordinary disposition on the part of the gold diggers, despite the unsettled nature of their mama, to enter into matrimony. This may be judged from the fact that only nine per cent of the women on the gold fields above 20 are unmarried; and whiht in Great Britain the proportion who marry under that age is only 21 per sent., these tables show that 30 per cent. of the girls between 15 and 90 are here married. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (non ors own GOIMBFONDIVT.) PARIS, TOINDAT Evznine. Although the Opinion Nationale, no doubt in this instance wrongly informed, doubts the fact that the Emperor of Austria is going to Warsaw. the Pays and Paris have received instructions to say that they know - for a certainty that the an. nounced interview between the Czar, the Emperor of Austria, and the Prince Regent of Prussia will take place at Warsaw in the early part of October. The Nord of Brussels was seized to-day, au,l it i s rumoured that it contains the text of a convention between Prussia, Austria, and England. The Opinion Nationale contains the following news from Italy, which appears to me later and more authentic than any I have met with this evening beyond that contained in the regular telegrams : A corps of volunteers, under the orders of Roselli and Masi, entered the Roman States on the Bth, as has been already stated. We learn by • private despatch from Turin that the Piedmoutese army is to pass the frontier and enter the Marches this very day. Notwithstanding all the noise that diplomacy makes about it this movement was foreseen. The Poem of Turin announced the day before yesterday—in a dubitative form, it is true—that General Cialdini had en. tered the pontifical states at • point opposite Cattolica ; the news was ally premature by three days. . . This virile resolution of the cabinet of Turin proves that Della Minerva's mission has failed. He was sent to Rome to deliver an ultimatum to Cardiva Antouelli, and to de. mend an answer within an hour. It was the general opinion at Turin that he would not be received. • • • The occupation of the Marches will necessarily involve the nomination of Sardinian commissioners ; we are already assured that MM. Qualtiero and Facioli, both Romans and tried friends of the liberty of Italy, have been selected. • • • Five thousand Austrians, the pick of their brilliant army, are concentrated on the Adriatic coast at Sinigagliy and between Pesaro and Ancona, with the evident object of covering the latter place. General Caddies force con. sista at present of about 20,000 men. The army of General La Marmon, which will ultimately be commanded by the King in person, ig 40,000 strong, and is quartered in the neighl)ourho,d of Alarm. The Pays and Patriz say that the telegrams give " exaggerated " accounts of the insurrection in the Roman states. At the Bourse there was less business done than yesterday, but the tone of the market was firmer. The Route rose 10c. for cash and 15c. for account, closing in each case at 68fr. Mobilier fall lfr. 25c. The Northern and Southern railways rose 2fr. 50c. each ; Eastern fell lir. 25c., and in the other lines there was scarcely any change. Some speculative transactions took place in Piedmontese Route and railway shares. The French journals, in giving an account o: the presentation of the sword which the O'Donoghue and some other Irish gentlemen have been deputed to give to Marshal M'Mahon, omit to state that the sword bears the inscription, "From oppressed Ire. land." I did not think that the Marshal, whose Irish glories have hitherto been thrust upon him, would have accepted a tribute presented under such cir cumstances as to imply his acquiescence in an asser- tion at once false and seditious. That Ireland should give a sword to a gallant French general of Irish descent is well ; but it is not decent that the Duke of Magenta, one of the first captains of a powerful Sovereign, who professes to be in alliance with the United Kingdom, should countenance the machinations of a small faction who choose to call Ireland " oppressed." I will still hope that the obnoxious word which people read in a shop window in Dublin was scratched out before the marshal condescended to take the sword iu his hand, and the rather au because in his return-thanks speech there is nothing objec- tionable. The Irish deputation waited on the mar shal at the illations camp on Sunday last. A mem ber read a complimentary address to the marshal, signsd by the O'Donoghue, M.P., as president of the committee which raised the subscription, and by Mr. J. P. Smyth and Mr. T. D. Sullivan, sem tariee. The marshal, who was surrounded by his aides-de-camp, having received the sword, replied : Gentleraeu,—l am extremely moved at the sentiment* which you express for me, and I request you to tell the Irish, whom you represent, how grateful lam for the testimony of esteem and sympathy which you offer me in their name. This testimony, by its spontaneity, has proved to me that green Erin has preserved those chivalrous ideas. that vivacity, and that warmth of heart which have at all times distinguished her. I will one day leave this magniil. cent sword to my eldest eon Patrick ; it will be for him as for me a new pledge of the close ties which must for ever onite him to the noble country of his ancestors. The marshal afterwards entertained the members of the deputation at dinner, and invited several generals and superior officers to meet them. The weather iu Paris is unusually cold for the season. The Memorial de fa Loire states that at St. Etienne, in that department, two days ago, the cold suddenly became as great as in November; and that the cause of it was believed to be a heavy fall of snow on Mont Pila and the neighbouring mountains. The Constifutionnet states that a subscription has been opened in the two new departments of Savoy for the purpose of erecting a monument at Chars. Wry to commemorate the annexation to France and the late imperial visit. The monument is to be made of the green marble of the country, and sur mounted by a group representing France and Savoy. The bas-reliefs of the pedestal bill represent the passage of Mount Cenis by the French army in 1859 ; the proclamation of the votes for annexation at Cluueb4Sry ; and two episodes of the imperial visit. The Echo Agri ate Rays : The question as to the rights which a farmer possesses as regards sporting on the land he tante has long been die. cussed by law writers, and has led to contradictory deci. sions by the tribunals. Three views ware taken of the matter :—The first was, that the right belonged to the farmer to the exclusion of the landlord ; the second, Utah it appertaieed to the owner, to the exclusion of the occu pier ; ►ud the third, that it ought to be eujoyed by both. The jurisprudence which h►d inclined to. wards the second opinion appears at present to declare for the first. A decision of the Imperial Court. of Caen recently gave • judgment which declares that the owner must be presumed to have transmitted his tight to the farmer, when no formal reserve to the contrary is in. eerted in the lease. The same court has also decided two other questions which have occasioned much centre. ; oese as to whether • farmer can shoot at all seasons without • license in en enclosure depending as his house ; and the other whether • watercourse can be considered a sufficient enclosure within the meaning of the game laws. The court gave an affirniative judgment on both points. A FLARE-UP FOR EMS EMPEROR'S Vvtrr TO NH% —The ifeasager de Him states that two immense heacone formed of firewood, well saturated with pitch and gr are being raised on the minima of Ifout-Chative. Onene be lighted on the night of their SL.josties' arrival, and the other at the moment of their departure. The glare from them will, it is expected, Ise reSoeted en the crest of the Alps, and over the whole country of Nice. SwiTzsairx D. —The Nuectnlwrg Correspondent says :—" The Swiss Federal Council has just addressed mother note to the powers. In this document the council psrticnlarly dwells on the fact that the French government has eoruntenced works for fortifying Tannin. The Federal Council, in oinsopence, invites thu powers to insist on the inaintensucc of the Onto quo uutd a Lciaference shall have decided on the reciprocal situation of Savoy sad the fled. vetic confederation." 7 ki
