PUBLICATIONS. MR. G. W. P. BENTIN CK, MP., ON for what unfortunately most men fight with the most zeal — they are fighting for dollars. (Hear.) Their position now is exactly the converse, in my humble opinion, of what their po sition was in the days of what was called the American rebel lion, when they were themselves fighting to evade the taxes imposed by the mother country. They were thus described in those days by one of the greatest poets in this country—a man equally remarkable for his talents as a poet and for the extreme liberality of his opinions. He:went over toAmerica fully impressed, as many others have been, with the perfec tion of American institutions ; he remained there a few months, and he described them in these four shirt lines : " Those vaunting demagogues, who nobly rose From England's debtors to be England's foes; Who could their monarch in their purse forget, And break allegiance but to cancel debt." (Laughter and cheers.) That was the opinion of an ultra- Liberal poet a good many years ago ; and therefore you will not wonder, perhaps, that people less liberal may not think very highly of their position at present. But what is the relative position of the North and of the South ? Why, the Northerners owe their very existence to a successful rebel lion. But for the results of that successful rebellion, they would have been like any other colony of this country, sub ject to the Government of England, subject to the taxation of England, and virtually subjects of England, as I am happy to think we all are. Ido not envy their separation; but if the North—if the United States of America—were justified, as doubtless they conceive that they were, in the act of rebellion which successfully separated them from the dominion of this country—l wol i ki ask, in the name of com mon sense and reason, upon wh'Et ground can the Northern States object to the Southerners following precisely the example'which they themselves had set not seventy years ago ? (Hear, hear.) What is the meaning of Federal in stitutions ? What is the meaning of Republicanism ? Ism not, I confess, p irtial to that description of government. I am an Englishman, and therefore, 1 hope, I have other feelings and other views. But what is its meaning, if it has a meaning? Why, it means in plain English, this,—if you take it as a question of States, it means that every State is at liberty, whenever the time arrives that it is no longer convenient to be a member of the federation of which it has hitherto formed part, to take its own line and set up for itself. Ipm inclined to think that Republicanism means even more—that every individual who has the means and power has a perfect right to set up for himself. (Laughter.) I know no limit to it. I confess I know no limit to the length of the tether which ought to be given to those who uphold republican institutions, and, therefore, I am at a loss to understand upon what grounds the North can have any cause of complaint against the South ern States for exercising a right which is admitted and almost inculcated both by Federal arrangements and republican institutions. (Hear.) But why is it that wherever one goes, in all parts of England, one always finds—thoroughly as I believe the institution of slavery is detested in this country —every man sympathising strongly with the Southerners, and wishing them all success ? (Cheers.) I do not beg the question, but all I can say is, that as far as my experience goes, in the length and breadth of the land where I have travelled, I never yet have met the man who has not at once said, " My wishes are with the Southerners." Why is that ? I think there is more than one reason for it. In the first place the good sense of Englishmen has shown them that the ques tion.of slavery must be entirely eliminated from the discus sion; that it is altogether a thing apart, and that it is mere hypocrisy and fraud to try to introduce it. There is no re ference to the question whatever in considering the relative position of the North and the South, or the relative position of this country with reference to those two belligerents. Then why is it that we sympathise with the South, as I venture to think, from the way in which you have received my remarks, you agree with me that we all do ? We do so for these reasons. First, they have fought—to do them justice—with a degree of gallantry almost unexampled, un der circumstances of the utmost difficulty, under every de scription of privation ; they have fought like heroes for their homes, their wives, and children. (Cheers.) That alone is enough to enlist the sympathies of Englishmen, and I trust in God the time will never come when it will not enlist their sympathies. But there is a still stronger feeling. The turn of events has resolved into this—Englishmen love liberty, and the Southerner is fighting not only for his life, but for that which is dearer than life—his liberty. (Hear, hear.) He is fighting for his home, for his liberty ; he is fighting against one of the most grinding, one of the most galling, one of the most irri tating attempts to establish tyrannical government that ever disgraced the history of the world. (Cheers.) I venture to think that that in itself is a sufficient ground for what I believe is the universal sympathy, with one or two excep tions, which is felt on the present occasion towards the men at the South. This frightful struggle has been going on for nearly two years ; and I would ask whether it is possible in history to find records of such attempts at the establishment of an undivided tyranny as are to be found in the history of the last two months of the Northern States ; or whether we have not had sufficient proof that of all tyrannies, the most odious and the most galling is the tyranny of a de mocracy. (Hear, hear.) I for one loathe all tyrannies ; but if am bound to undergo the greatest amount of suffering morally that any man can be called upon to endure, namely, that of writhing under a tyranny, at least defend me from a tyranny of a democracy. But there are exceptions to every thing ; and men have been found in this country whose business, I might almost say whose trade, it has been to praise American institutions. lam happy to think that, for the honour and the credit of old England, the number of those men is very few; and I believe those attempts have been chiefly confined to democrats working for their own selfish purposes, and to hired spouters who are deputed to speak in the name of some so-called "association," and who are afterwards remunerated for their services for speak ing by handing a begging-box round the country, and by attempting to dignify that begging-box by the appellation of a testimonial. There was an association of this kind a good many years ago—l am not going into the merits or de merits of the views which they held—but they practised this system most successfully. They endeavoured to persuade the labouring population of the agricultural districts that the best thing for them was to depreciate the price of the pro duce of their labour ; and they endeavoured to persuade the people of England that they were struggling to obtain cheap food for the people,when their one great object was to obtain cheap labour for themselves. (Hear.) Those are by-gone days, but a new association has been shadowed forth lately, and the professed object of this association, coming under very similar auspices, is to persude the people of England that the best turn they can do themselves is to set to work at once to destroy those means by which they have hitherto maintained that maritime superiority which for centuries past has constituted the pride and the security of this cram try. I have no doubt that when the proper time comes the begging-box will again make its appearance—(laughter). and that we shall have appeals made in the name of the country for these disinterested patriots ; but I have so much faith in the good sense and the honesty of EnglisLmen,that I believe these stipendiary patriots will be met as they de serve, and that all the wretched compound of trash and trea son which they have poured forth will meet with the con tempt which it deserves. (Cheers) But, gentlemen,there is one comfort--that the praise of Northern institutions is confined to that class of men to whom I have ventured to advert. It is a distasteful subject, and happily there are few of them ; but I am glad I may venture to think that you agree with me in my appreciation of them. But at all events there is no doubt that the great mass of Englishmen loathe tyranny in all shapes, but they loathe more especially the description of tyranny which has been practised on the in habitants of the Northern States during the last two years, by what is called a Republican Government. And if that alone were not sufficient to explain the strong feeling in.favour of the South which exists in this country, there is a ten-fold stronger reason for it, and that is, in the downright barba rism and brutality—l use strong words, but I contend that they are justified by the circumstances, and am prepared to abide by them —which has characterised those who have had the conduct of affairs in the Northern States. I have already adverted to the proclamation which was lately issued as a tardy and lame attempt to induce the people of this country to believe that this is an "abolition" war, be cause, after all, all their legislation and all their acts have reference to us and our opinion of them ; they think of no thing else. The only idea they have is what is said of them in England, and they have not heard much that will please them, I should think, for some time past. (Laughter.) That proclamation really was a piece of clap-trap, in the first place to catch the people of England. Look at its real meaning and its real bearing. The object of it was to encourage and arm the blacks, to infuriate those unfortunate to and misguided people, to put arms into their hands, a w. generate, merely for purposes of aggression upon men t u they cannot defeat in fair fight, one of the moat horrible that ever massacres of old men and women and children disgraced the annals of the world. Thattingtrhe proclama tion which has made such a sensation disgust every honest weeks; and that is enough in itself to But there is man with the author of such. a document. anything upon record worse than that.

KING'S LYNN, OCT. 31. The annual meeting of the Marshland Agricultural Asso ciation was held last evening, at Terrington St. Clenient's, near this town. The chair was occupied by Mr. G. W. P. Bentinck. M.P. for West Norfolk, the hon. gentleman being supported by several of the leading inhabitants of the district. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, Mr. R. PITCHER proposed the " County Members." (Cheers.) Mr. BENTINCK, M.P., in acknowledging the compliment, alluded to the rule by which party politics were excluded from discussion at the meetings of the society, and then pro ceeded to observe--But there axe questions which interest, and which I may say are convulsing the whole world, upon which it would be disrespectful to those whom I have the honour of addressing if I should be silent upon the present occasion ; and perhaps the most prominent of those ques tions is, that most marvellous and most melancholy state of things which exists on the other side of the Atlantic. (Hear.) There is nothing, probably, in history which can be compared, in point either of the marvellous or of the horrible with what is goin g on i n th a t country, which for merly used to be called the United States of America. How far they at present deserve that designation I leave it to you to decide. The interest felt in this country upon the sub ject is immensely increased by the deep stake which we our selves have in the solution of the question, and in the wide felt misery now prevailin g in various parts of the country from the existing condiqo of things in the United States ; but there is one view of the question upon which I would venture to express a very decided opinion, and to which I would venture to call your most especial attention. Whenever any question has been raised in public meet ings or elsewhere upon the state of things on the other side of the Atlantic, the attempt has been made to in troduce into the discussion the elements of the merits or the demerits of the institution of slavery. Now, I beg to begin by stating, as far as my individual opinion may be of interest in the matter, that no man in the kingdom loathes more sincerely than Ido that institution. I believe it to be barbarous; I believe it to be anti-Christian ; I be lieve it to be everything that is detestable ; but I for one am not prepared to be blinded by my feelings —or if you choose to call them st, my prejudices —against the institution of slavery, into looking at events in America through what I contend is a thoroughly false medium. I contend that the question of slavery has nothing whatever to do either with the feud which is now going on between the Northern and the Southern States, nor has, nor ought it to have, any thing to do with the light in which that feud ought to be regarded by the people of this country ; and I will tell you why I hold that opinion. In the first place, let us take the conduct of the United States themselves with reference to the question of slavery. What has been the conduct of the Northern States ? Premising that they are now upholding what they call the standard of the abolition of slavery, what has been their conduct ? Why, in the first place, they have invariably upheld and maintained up to the outbreak ofthe present civil war the institution of slavery; and they have gone further; they have declared that the black man is unfit to exist within the precincts of civilisation. They deny him the rights of a human being, and yet these men now arrogate to themselves the title of Abolitionists. 'Why, there never was a ranker, a grosser, or more monstrous farce than their attempting so to designate themselves. So long as slavery was, profitable to them, they were perfectly prepared to support it ; the moment they saw a pecuniary advantage in declaiming against slavery, they began to de claim against it, and that is the' abolition" feeling in the Northern States of America. But they have gone further. They have issued within the last few weeks—almost within the last few days—a proclamation, not against the institu tion of slavery, but inciting the slaves in the South to acts of murder and arson, which at once describes the feeling with which they originally looked upon the institution of slavery, viz., as one which was only to be dealt with for political or for profitable objects ; and they have at the same time shown that they are utterly divested of the com mon feelings of humanity. (Hear, hear.) Let any man for a moment figure to himself what would be the effect in the Southern States if the proclamation of Mr. Lincoln on the subject of slavery were acted upon. Why, it would lead to a wholesale massacre of human beings, black and white, so extensive and so horrible, that I will undertake to say there is nothing in the history of the known world which could be compared to it. And yet these are the men who now turn round and ask for the sympathy of Englishmen in their newly-assumed character of the abolitionists of slavery I But, gentlemen, lam afraid there is a still darker side to this picture. I may be right or I may be wrong, but at all risks it has been my habit, not only here, but elsewhere, to say what I think—(cheers) —and to take the chance of what anybody else may have to say in reply. Now I, for one—and I say it with grief and deep regret— am bound to assert that even our own beloved country does not come out scot-free in point of reputation upon Ihe ques tion of slavery. I only advert to this because the attempt is being constantly made to enlist the sympathies of Eng j l - lishmen on behalf of the. Northern States of America upon the plea that they are sincere Abolitionists, which I think I have succeeded in proving that they are not. But Igo further, and I say that this country is not in a posision to take that high line. I say it with deep regret, but I chal lenge contradiction when I assert that this country is not in a position to take up the high line of saying that at all costs and at all risks we will stand out for the abolition of slavery. What has been the conduct of this country? It is perfectly true that many years ago we spent £20,000,000 for the purpose of emancipating our West India slaves. The spirit in which that was done was admirable ; and no man probably within the four seas of Britain will be found to dispute the good intentions of those who promoted and who carried that measure. The manner in which it was carried out was melancholy, for the result of it was that you spent £20,000,000 for the simple purpo se of deteriorat ing the po s iti on o f the slave whom yo u meant to benefit. But that is another question. The point to which I want to come is this —some years subsequent to that a contro versy arose in this country upon the merits of which I am not now about to enter, but which must be extremely familiar to those whom I have now the honour of address ing —the controversy of Free Ti ads and Protection. Among the points fought and argued with reference to that question, a motion was made in the House of Commons calling upon the Parliament of England, after they had sanctioned the outlay of £20,000,000 for the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, further to evince their detestation of that in stitution by putting a duty on slave-grown sugar, as opposed to sugar the produce of free labour. That was a clear and distinct issue raised-." Will you, or will you not, confirm the verdict which you have given by the expenditure of £20,000,000, by patting upon sugar the produce of slave labour a differential duty which shall give in the markets a preponderance in favour of sugar produced by the labour of free men ?" Well, what was the answer of the House of Commons ? They said, " No, we think we have a higher duty to perform ; we will not do anything even for the pur pose of putting a stop to the institution of slavery, which shall militate against the great principles of free trade." I am not going to enter into the merits or demerits of that financial measure, but I ask, " Are we, after such a deci sion given by the Parliament of this country, and with the consent of this country, to put ourselves forward, and to say that we are champions of the abolition of that institu tion ?" Why, the thing is simply absurd. But what was the sequel to that ? We went on, up to two years ago— the Manchester millowner, the country generally, Great Britain and Ireland united—accepting without hesitation and without remorse slave-grown or slave-produced cotton, as long as it was profitable, and as long as it was conve nient to work that cotton, and it could be done beneficially ; but the very moment the supply of cotton failed, up rose all those gentlemen in arms and said—" Oh, we must sup port the North, because we cannot submit to this fright ful atrocity, this enslaving of our fellow-men, and we must support the North, who are the honest Abolitionists of that system." Why did it never occur to these gentle men before, that all this cotton was produced by slave labour? As long as they could benefit by it and they filled their pockets by the produce of slave-labour, their mouths were shut ; but the moment their pockets were shut their mouths wero open—(laughter)—and we have heard nothing ever since but the shouts and cries and cheers of Abolitionist meetings, in order to explain that we Englishmen are all brutes if we do not unite in the cry for the abolition of sla very. Well, we all join in that cry; but I can say this, that I would have voted, if I had been in Parliament then, against that very vote which preferred slave-grown sugar to interfering with the principle of free trade; and I would now give my vote against it most cordially and most honestly, because I was never an assenting party to it as long as I could put money in my po c k e t b y th e t ransac ti on . But that is not the case with those who are most open mouthed in this matter. What I come to, then, is this—in the name of common sense and reason, before we begin to discuss the question of the feud on the other side of the Atlantic, let us drop the question of slavery, and as English men, let us be thankful if nobody revives it, for it is a down right mockery to introduce that question into the discussion. (Hear, hear.) Having t old you frankly my own feeling s as one detesting sia;Fery; and asked you' to put thai question aside altogether ; and having, I think, given You fair rea sons for that request, let us for a moment, since thiE; war is convulsing and exciting the whole world, consider what was the design of this marvellous war—for marvellous it is for its magnitude and its results. There is a very distinguished statesman, who now holds the portfolio for foreign affairs, who on a former occasion, in talking of the feud between the Northern and the Southern States, described their position in those words —that the North was fighting for empire, and the South for independence. I quite accept the latter asser tion, but I deny that the North is fighting for empire. The men of the North are fighting for what most men fight, and - e CL'.~' - //-2 Second Edition, Now Ready, in 2 vols., 215., • FEMALE LIFE IN PRISON, By A PRISON MATRON.

(Hear.) lam not asserting that there are not hun dreds and thousands of men in the Northern States who are men of education, of right and Christian feeling, of civilised habits and ideas. Far be it from me to make so unfounded an assertion. But there is a farther lesson to be learned. The result of these much• vaunted institutions, which we have heard praised before, and which we shall ! again hear praised by hired spouters of associations, is this, that the nation becomes so brutalised that the civilised man disappears—he is afraid to put himself forward; he is ashamed of his country; he has no voice in the conduct of her affairs; and the whole nation is turned over to the control of men such as Lincoln and Butler, whom I do not hesitate to denounce, after their conduct in the last few months, as men who are a disgrace to civilisation. (Hear, hear.) But, gentlemen, if we look, as every man of right feeling must, with regret upon these horrible scenes, it is always wise at least to profit by experience. I cannot help thinking there is a grave and serious, and valuable lesson to be learned by every man in this country, and I think we have seen the fruits of that lesson. lam speaking in no party sense— and I think you have known me some years now, and know that I am not a blind partisan, that I always say what I think, without reference to party or men, and that I only uphold measures—but I see a change in the mind and feeling of the people of this country upon the question to which lam about to refer. 1 think the lesson which has been.taught us by the state of affairs in the Northern States of America has not been lost upon this country. I thi n k we have learned to estimate, in latter years more fully th an we did formerly, the blessing of those institutions under which it is our good fortune to live. (Cheers.) I think no man who has given the commonest attention to tIA progress of the history of Europe, and of the world gene rally, can have failed to observe that, under Providence, this country for many years past has been most signally and remarkably blessed; that, speaking with due humility as to the dispensations of Providence in the future, up to the present time we have been indebted mainly to our political institutions, I may say to our monarchical institutions, for that happy state in which we have lived for so many centuries ; that absence alike of foreign and of civil war, the parallel of which is not to be found in the history of any other country. I am quite aware that strongly as I for one feel in favour of the monarchical institutions of the country, circumstances have of late years given to those institutions a position and a hold upon the feelings of the people which, under ordinary circumstances, they might not have had. It has been the happy fate of this country to have been for nearly a quarter of a century reigned over by a Sovereign whose public and whose private character have alike tended to endear her to her subjects, and to adorn those institutions, and that Go vernment of which she has been the head. (Cheers.) But making every allowance for the tendency which the virtues of the Sovereign, both public and private, have had upon the minds of men to endear to them monarchical institutions, I believe the feeling of loyalty and attachment to those in stitutions is one of the deepest and strongest feelings of the hearts of Englishmen; and so long as that feeling con tinues to exist, under Providence, we may defy fate and confidently hope for the welfare and prosperity of the coun try. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, we may at least derive a lesson from this. We have our party views and party objects ;we have our party fights—l wish I was keener about them, but that does not matter ; but those who take a deeper interest than I do in party feuds will, at all events, not think me presumptuous if I ask them—whenever those questions which are happily now in abeyance are again brought before us, and we are called upon to discuss the merits or demerits, or the possible improvement, of the Con stitution of this country, of its Government, and of its repre sentation—to pause and to think carefully before they tamper rashly with those institutions which up to the pre sent time have made this country the envy and the admira tion of the world. (Cheers.) But it is impossible to leave this question without touching upon the only remaing sub ject in reference to the state of affairs in America, which really after all is the most important one. There is a very old saying that it is no use crying over the past. What are we to do for the future ? That is the position is which this country and much of Europe finds itself in refer ence to the state of affairs in America. (Hear, hear.) What is to be done ? I have ventured to think that there is but one rational, one just, one beneficial course for this country to pursue, and that is at once to recognise publicly and officially the independence of the Southern States. (Cheers.) I am not speaking now under the impression of the events of the moment, because, however unimportant the fact may be—and I do not ask you to lay any stress upon that—l ventured to urge in the House of Commons the opinion which lam now venturing to put before you. I urged it to the best of my ability, and, like many other good inten tions, it failed in its effect, and produced no result whatever. But I then held, as I now hold, 'the opinion that the at tempts of the North to reconquer the South must be futile and hopeless ; and all I ask you to consider is this, whether, if I were justified in that opinion, which I held and ex pressed in March last, the present position of affairs in the Northern States does not at least confirm that opinion ten fold. (Hear.) It appears now to be perfectly hopeless that the North should ever conquer the South. There is no prospect of a termination of this horrible sacrifice of human life, except by the recognition of the Southern States by this country and by France ; and, therefore, upon that ground alone I venture to urge it. The enly argument I have ever heard against it is this—we are told by learned men that it would be an outrage upon what they are pleased to term international law. That is a subject too abstruse to enter upon. I do not understand it. I am not equal to it; but all I know is this, that as far as international law is concerned there is ample precedent for the recognition at the present moment, and even at a much earlier period of the war, of the independence of the Southern States by the Government of this country. Recollect what we did with respect to Bel gium ; recollect what we did with respect to Greece. These in themselves are precedents perfectly sufficient to satisfy, in my humble opinion, all those who choose to argue the question upon the point of international law. But there is a much more serious view of the question than that. What has been the effect of this war in America upon an immense portion of the population of this country ? What is the amount of distress which is now being endured, and that with an amount of patience, forbearance, sound judgment, and good feeling which, I say, reflects honour upon the people of this country generally. What is the amount of distress which is being endured, and which can be attri buted solely to the effects of the war ? Why, it is incalcu lable. We are told, day after day, that the numbers of those who are suffering are increasing. There seems to be no limit to the extent of it. We are told that if cotton were once introduced that distress would cease. I say again, with precedent in our favour, with the existence of enormous dis tress in this country, and putting aside as I do, as mere piece of hypocrisy and absurdity, the introduction of the element of slavery into the discussion, I say, without r I efer-. ence to party, w ithout reference to anything but what . be lieve to be indispensable to the welfare and character of thisinde pendence country, that we are bound at once to recognise th of the Southern States of America.

Gentlemen, —I am directed by Earl Russell to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th inst., including r esolutions d agreed to, at a me e ti ng of the citizens of London, preside over y Mr. Western Wood, M.P. for the City. In the last of these resolutions Lord Russell is requested "to use all means within his power to obtain the with drawal of the French troops from Rome." Lord Russell directs me to observe, with regard to this resolution and many others of a similar tenour which have been agreed to at various public meetings, that the only means he can properly use to obtain the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome consist in friendly represen tations to the Government of the Emperor of the French. These have not been wanting on the part of her Majes ty's Government, as the papers laid before Parliament have shown, and similar representations will be made whenever it may seem necessary or expedient to make them.--I am) gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, E.

His subject was the general instruction of the people. He said the Scotch parish and burgh schools, founded at the Reformation, constituted with the Universities a system of popular education which was an example to the civilised world. It was mainly owing to its educational system that Scotland had triumphed over its physical disadvan tages, and acquired respect throughout the ceorld. He turned to England with humiliation. The ex ample of Scotland had been followed by North America, Canada, by many continental States, and recently even by Italy, but it had not been followed by England. There was no great nation in which the education of the people had been more benevo lently and effectively provided for than it had been in America. Whatever they might think of the political institutions of that country, no one could deny the sagacity with which the founders of the Republic resolved that a democratic form of Govern ment could be safe only with an educated and en• lightened people, and therefore established a sys tem of national education which was the greatest blessing in that country. As in America the na tionalsystem of education dated from the commence -1 ment of democratic independence, so in France the first great and systematic improvement dated from the Revolution. The system was ce remodelled and improved by Guizot, andhad sin under gone further revision. France had now ln thletaalydvtahne tage of a well-devised scheme. policy had been accepted and avowed—that poli tical freedom ought to be associated with popular intelligence. It was some years since a liberal and well-arranged plan was adopted by Piedmont, and, though the plan was not yet fully matured for the whole Italian kingdom, it was being cared for with a spirit and intelligence most honourable to the Italian people, While such had been the progress of other countries, England had remained compa ratively stationary. It was not till the beginning of this century that a few enlightened and eminent men drew attention to the deficiencies which threatened the national character and prosperity. Foremost among these had been Lord Brougham, the president of this institution ; but neither he nor his fellow workers had succeeded in giving Eng land anything that deserved the name of national education. The Privy Council system did not de serve to be so called. It was an accident, a pro visional arrangement, a temporary expedient, which, while Parliament had been unable to agree upon anything better, had grown and extended till it stood in the way of real amendment, and afforded a handle to those who desired to impede principles which had been successful in other countries. If the Privy Council system was to be seriously regarded as permanent, it was, in his opinion, the most costly and least efficient yet de vised. He believed the statement by one of our leading public men to be true—that the English were the least instructed of any Protestant com munity in the world. No doubt, progress had been made, the profuse expenditure of the Parliamentary grant had done good, the public mind had been awakened, and much had been ac complished by individual benevolence; but, never theless, the humiliating statement remained essen tially true. In 1858, weary of struggles and conflicts which had impeded every attempt to carry any measure through Parliament, he obtained a Royal commission to inquire into the whole subject, and the commissioners had presented their report. That report was able, elaborate, and conclusive, and he knew of no objection against the Privy Council system which it had not confirmed. It showed it to be extravagant, unequal, unjust, and defective., Whatever improved system was adopted, it ought to be based on the principle of local action and self government. To education alone had Parliament refused to apply this popular principle, and it was in England alone that this had not been adopted. It was with deep regret that the friends of education had heard Government did not intend to act on this, valuable and comprehensive report, and that for the present we must rest contented with the Revised Code, which touched only the outskirts of the ques- , tion, and left the evils and deficiencies of the present system uncured. He regretted that Scotland had. allowed her excellent system to remain stationary, and had failed to adapt it to the requirements of the times. England had not adopted a national system, Scotland had not adequately carried out hers. Both had been unable to agree upon a remedy, and what was the cause ? Was it not sectarianism ? Was this a cause of which their consciences approved? They had in their common Christianity, at least one bond of union. Might we not hope to see the day when all should yield sectarian differences on points on which they need not interfere, and should bear in mind the first Christian duty of charity ? Sir John pro ceeded to point out the moral effect of education. Ignorance was the common enemy. While we dif fered and delayed that enemyadvaneed. He trusted the statesmen of the country would before long face the question with a determination to overcome all difficulties which sectarianism interposed. He then dwelt on the advantages of the Scottish system in respect of middle-class education as bridging over the distance between the University and the com mon school. It could not be denied that Parliament, was mainly influenced by the great English middle classes, and it was therefore essentially necessary to provide for these classes a sound education. Sir John then dwelt on the necessity of ineluedningas tory and the modern lang uages , as w olass the e micsr,inarkson the educational higher courseotstud a y. He ce inhthis; plian a . de f some P Edinburgh, and on th e o bj ects of the P hilosoph s philosophical institutions. He conc l uded by adverting to the common interest Sc o tl an d and England had in the question of ed uca ti on, and by expressing a hope that they would act to ge th er to effect an object which had hitherto baffled the power of Parliament, but which would, when obtained, confer an invaluable boon on an intelligent and grateful people. Sir John was very warmly applauded throughout. ~'G--- The uncle of the unfortunate Mr. Dillon, who was killed in the lath duel, writes :—My poor lost nephew was an Englishman, born in England, and never in his life in America, or in any way connected with that country, or with Ireland either, as some of the papers have wrongly. stated. His late father was an English Protestant clergy man, of the Established Church, and nearly allied t o an English peer yet living. From his early youth he has almost always lived on the Continent, and completed his education (which was of the first order) in Belgium. I may add that I have every hope and confidence in the measures adopted by the French auth or i t i es for bringing the offend ing parties strictly to a ccount, and that justice will be fully sat l is t fl o ed ught never to be Wonderful to ns that epi demics of social passion should recur t , i w oi l l i as ile w it e do . nothing to improve the reason of each genera talk of education —and we enjoy talking of a rt, e and its pleasures. Mr. Roebuck enjoyed talking of it on behalf of the peasant last yam.; and Lord P a l merston enjoyed talk en behalf of the young last week. We are all so sen sible of the pleasures and advantages of intellectual acqui sition and entertainment, that we are delighted to open institutes for the working-classes, and schools for children. But, amidst all the spread of education, and all the mul tiplying of schools and colleges, how much is done towards curing the unreason which is the great evil of human life and character to all but the very few who are gifted with a judgment which seems scarcely to need cultivating but only employment on varied material ? The children of educated parents are brought up in and with their parents' opinions ; if they quit those opinions, it is usually to betake themselves to views pre cisely opposite, and under the influence of prejudices as strong as those of their education. The children of unedu cated parents, who are sent to school by the State, under one form or another, are actually excluded, by the very condi tions of education, from any effective use or cultivation of their reason. It is the one thing never proposed, never con ceived of by anybody but a very small sprinkling of parents!, who, reasonable themselves, endeavour to put their children In the way of being so. The events of this autumn may show us some of the consequences. Far and wide, abroad and at home, this year seems to be the jubilee of unreason. —Once a Week.
