EARL RUSSELL ON EDUCATION. Earl Russell has for a long series of years taken the chair at the annual meeting held at the Borough-road Schools of the British and Foreign Bible Society. He did so on Monday last, and was attended on the platform by Lord Lyveden The report of the society shewed pro sperity. It appeared that seventy-six students had left the training colleges to take schools in various parts of the country, and ninety-eight candidates had been admitted ; that the number in residence up to Christmas had been 169, and since, 191; that the college of Stockwell is quite full; while at tie Borough-road there are only eleven vacancies. Of 169 students"presented for examination not one failed. In the schools under the direct control of the committee 1,300 children receive instruction from seven teachers and nineteen pupil teachers. Permanent teachers have been provided for 134 schools:. Thirty colonial and other schools abroad, have received grants of books and school materials, and teachers have been provided in several cases. From the financial statement, it appeared that the money received from all sources, without including the balance in hand at the beginning of the year, amounted to £13,4£6 12s. 11d.; the payments, inclusive of legacies in vested, being £13,635 6s. sd. Earl RUSSELL, in speaking to the meeting after the reading of the reports, referred to the high patronage which the society had obtained. His Majesty George 111., the Duke of Kent, father of her present Majesty; Mr. Wilberforce, the advocate of freedom ; Dr. Maltby, Bishop of Chichester ; Dr. Stanley, Bishop of Norwich, and father of the present Dean of Westminster ; and Dr. Burnet, the Non conformist, had all been friends of the society. All creeds might come under the shadow of the society. "This society has never contended for Episcopacy or against it. We stand here for the support of Christianity, leaving to the churches and chapels of the land to dissemi nate those views of Christian doctrine which they believe to be conformable to truth. It' has happened to me, and lately, to consult the various formularies of our various Churches—theie of the - Church of England, of the Pres byterian Church, and of the Roman Catholic Church—but I find in none of them so good a sermon as the Sermon on the Mount. It is that doctrine that we have given in our British Schools. The children read the Bible, and there they obtain the lessons that Christ gave to the multi tude in general, and the commands and direc tions which he gave to his disciples." Hia lordship went on to say that he was grieved that the Church of England had thought it right to commence her educational course on a separate principle to that acknowledged by this society. Passing to the great want of this country, the earl lamented that England did not stand preeminent among the nations of the world in an educational sense. The strength of the people of the United States was in their educational system. The German declared that the security of his country agdnst foreign invasion was that every -soldier was educated. " If this (the noble lord continued) is the security for international institutions—if this is the seeurity against external dangers —as men the mcst able and intelligent assert that it is—l say let us have in this country that security for our internal freedom, and that security for our independence of all foreign control. We have it not at present, but fortunately we have a Prospect that, although not in the present year, but in the next, it may be obtained. IT( r my part, I am not disposed to depart from the prin ciples which have ever animated the British and Foreign School Society. I think every information ought to be given in our schools on subjects of general know ledge. I think every encouragement should be given to the exercise and Play of the uralerstanding ; t.ut I think all the instruction should be accom panied with religious knowledge ; and that that part of man which every philosopher acknowledges is the most essential part of him—his soul—is not to be neglected in the education we provide. Ido not say that the State—if there is a provision for rates or contributions by the State in one shape or another—might not think it fit, and wisely think it fit, to allow of secular schools; but secu'ar schools are not entirely deprived of religious information, because they are usually connected with some religious com munion or other, the members of which and the pastors of which take care the children taught in them shall not be altogether deprived of religious instruction. I trust that the denominational instruction which has hitherto been given in a large measure by the parochial clergy of the Established Church --the denominational instruction which l:as been given in a large measure by the religious teachers of the various Dissenting com munions, I trust that this religious instruction will not be lost sight of in any plan of education which the Govern ment may tl.ink fit to introduce to Parliament, and that while systematic education shall pervade the land, and t e at , rcnoois snail be established threughout it, we shall be permitted to teach in tin in, not denominational instruction, but shall Le permitted to give that instruc tion in the Bible which has always been the mai k and distinction of this society , . Schools must then be given to ; there mus t b e no une d uca t e d town -07. i e p r . y distract be lis \ a , l e i Ie :that this will be so before long."—Lord Lyveden, who followed Lord. Russell, deprecated the com pulsory plan, on the ground that it would interfere with the voluntary system, which bad hitherto worked well and effected much flood. The annual meetin g ME PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL AMONG THE JEWS. Propa gating the Go s p e l among the Jews was presided over by the Earl of Ca van. The report spewed that in Lon don, Manchest er, Birmingham, Bristol, Adrianople, Algiers, Konigsberg, Galatz, Heidelberg, Russia, Italy, of the British Society for Germany and Hungarya considerable number of Jews and Jewesses have be en b aptised and received into the Chris tian Church. Eff orts were now being made to establish a home, asylum, orphanage, and school in London for converted Jews and their children, and also a home for missionaries, and a sum of £1,920 bad already been sub scribed for that purpose. Th e general income of the society had been £4,000. The Rev. Mr. Pennefather, Dr. Herschel], the Rev. T. Jackson, the Rev. Mr. Fleming, and others addressed the meeting. COLONIAL AND C ONTINENTAL CHURCH SOCIETY. The report of this society, read at St. James's Hall (the Earl of Harrowby chai rma n), stated that the home income for the year had amounted to £18,466165. 9d., and the colonial and continental income to £14,801 38. Bd., being a total income of £33,268 Os. 58. ; making with the balance of last year ( 4 2,187 3s. 5(1.) a total of receipts of £35,455 38. 10d. The expenditure had been £32,797 N. 10d., leaving a balance of £2,657148. The agents em ployed consisted of 107 clergymen, 69 catechists and teachers, and 49 female teachers. Mr. Charley, M. P., and others addressed the meeting. RACCI D SCHOOL UNION. The Earl of Shaftesbury again occupied the chair at Exeter Hall, the meeting being that of his own institution —the Ragged School Uni on . From the report, it appeared that during the past year there was 267 Sunday schools, having an averag e attendance of 32,000 scholars ; 182 clay schools, with 2 4,000 children attending ; and 207 evening schools, with nearly 10,000 children present. These figures shewed an increase in the average attendance as compared with last year's report of 777 in the Sunday iehools, and more than 1,900 in the day schools. M ISCELLANEOUS. The Irish Evangeli ca l Society, the National Home for Ladies, and the Prot es t ant Reformatory Society held their meetings also on M onday. The London Missionary Society hold zneetiL,6 thiough out the week. The Poet Laureate has been unanimously elected an honorary Fellow of Trinity College, Cam- bridge. CHEAP HONOUES.—We notice from time to time in our Eur o p ean exc h a nges th a t the " degree of LL.D. has been conf e rred upon " some obs cure person or other which distributes honours so freely"bythehad hearing abroad, and we have no idea of the price at which it sells thorn. —New York Times. o n Saturdaynight S TABBING WHEN a serious affray took place at the village of B e dli ng t o n.

IMPORTANT DECISION.-Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, who was accompanied by Lieutenant Sheppy, the Super intendent of the East and West Ind:a Dock Company's Police, applied for summonses against the owner of barges . for leaving them in the West India Dock basin without any pethin on board. 'Mr. Young sail the accumulaticei of empty barges and craft at the several entrances of the dock, in the dock basin, and other portions of the. dock, had been found so inconvenient and embarrassiug to the dock company, the dock masters, and other servants of the company, that it was determined to proceed against the owners for penalties to stop an increasing evil. Accidents' had been caused, the commission of robberies facilitated, and other dangers had been caused by the practice. Some times empty barges had been left without any one In charge for 10 and 11 days, and a large amount of room occupied which ought to have been devoted to ships and barges engaged in delivering and receiving goods and cargoes. Ile. Charles Young then read a portion of the 104th clause of the. West India Dock Company's Act of Parliament Its follows :—" If any ship, lighter, craft, or vessel shall be left in the said dock or docks, basin or basins, lock or locks, cut or cuts, with out any person or persons on board, the master or other person having the command of every such vessel, or the owner or owners thereof shall for every such offence for feit and pay any sum not exceeding £3; and the owner or owners of such ship or vessel, shall be answerable for all the injury that may be sustained by any other ships or vessels, or by the said company through neglect thereof." Mr. Lieut. Sheppy confirmed the statement of Mr. Young, and the summonses were issued. WESTMINSTER. RECKLESS DREVING.—John Knight, the driver of a light cart, was charged with imperilling the public in the fol lowing manner:— Mr. Reginald York, 37, Princes -garden; said that yester day evening he hired a hansom cab at Knightsbridge, and had proceeded a little distance towards Kensington, when the defendant drove his cart right into the cab, which, with the horse, Ras much injured. Complainant was thrown forward with great violence, and his hat was broken to pieces. Fortunately he was but little hurt, although placed in imminent peril. Mr. Arnold inquired the rate at which the defendant was going. The gentleman replied that he was going at the rate of ten miles au hour although the road was in a very crowded state at the time. lie was drunk. Defendant said ho Lad settled for the damages done to he cab with the proprietor of it. In answer to the magistrate's inquiry, Mr. York said .hat his hat cost a guinea. Defendant denied the drunkenness, but it was clearly proved by two or three witnesses. Mr. Arnold convicted him in the penalty of 40s, a gui nea for the hat, cad 40s for tho damage done to the cab, or one mouth in default.

The owner of the horse said there was nothing the mater with the horse, and he certainly should work it again, and the society's officers could do what they liked. WRECK ON 7'llE 11. (Sll CO 4,5 T. WEXFORD, May 8. A vessel which bad been riling in the South Bay was seen to part from lice anchors and go ashore this morning during a n)rth-eawerly gale (says Mr. Ca4ldan, the collector of her Majesty's customs). The Civil Service lifeboat of tit! National Lifeboat Inaltudon promptly proceeded to the spot under sail, the sea running fe.arfuly high on I.er beam. On nearing the scene of the ..vree';, some_men_w4m.... seen on ikard. The 1 feboa.'s anchor was then let go, she veerel doNII, and was fortunately the means of saving the four men. After several attempts in the heavy surf to row tff the lifeboat, by the vio lence of the sea, was driven asln , re, and was imme diately hauled up by those on the batch, all on board escaping unhurt. Two of the vessel's crew, before the arrival of the lifeboat, took to their boat, which on being put over the side was dashed asl:ore, and they were with difficulty saved. The vessel was the schooner Handy, of Wexford, bound to that port from Dublin, with a cargo of wheat. The lifeboat men report that they have additional confidence in their noble boar, after her performances on this occasion. This valuable life-boat, which was presented to the Institution by the gentlemen in the Civil Service, through the indefatigable exertions of Jas. A. Dow, Esq., and others, has already been the means of saving 44 lives from different wrecks. THE NAVAL RESERVE. Yesterday about 250 men of this force were gathered together in the Minories previous to marching down to London-bridge to embark on board a river steamer, and proceeded by water to Sheerness, thera to join her Majesty's ship Agin court for a fortnight's cruise and training in the Channel Squadron. These, however, were not the only body of men which assembled yesterday for the same purpose, for one may say that at all the great stations of l the Naval Reserve throughout the United Kingdom a similar muster went on, and the men were all volunteers, who had come forward in answer to an invitation to train for two weeks on board the regular ships of war. Though this is the very busiest time of a sailor's year, when the spring opens up all the coasting trade and the traffic of the North Sea, and the men can get engagements at almost any terms, no less than 1,900 responded voluntarily to the call, and were yesterday embarked from various ports for service on board her Majesty's ships Duncan, Agincourt, Hector, St. George, Mersey, Done gal, Black Prince, Trafalgar, Royal George, and Valiant. The object of this movement is to give both the officers and men of the Naval Reserve a good acquaintance with the real routine of the discipline of the Royal Navy. In mere seamanship they have nothing to learn, for the men of the Naval Reserve are the very pick of the Mercantile Marine, and their lieu tenants and commandersjare the most skilled offi cers of our finest lines of steam and sailing vessels. The Naval Reserve now numbers about 16,000 men.

PROCESSIONS IN CORK. Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply to Col. Forde, said he Lad not received the report he had sent for from Ireland with respect to the reports of par;.3 , procession with banners having taken place in Cork. O'SULLIVAN'S DISABILITY BILL. On the order of the day being read for the second read ing of this bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, in accordance with the directions received, he had taken care to provide wit nesses to support the preamble of the bill, and that they were row in ; , ttendatice to be called in. Ile had also ap pointed the Solicitor-General for Ireland, Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, and Mr. Barry to represent the crown, and he begged to move that the witnesses be called in. Mr. MAGUIRE rose to meet the motion with a direct negative, but before doing so ho would read a letter from .the person most deeply interested in the proceedings. The hon. number then read a letter ho had received from Mr. O'Sullivan in which he stated that the language he had used did not represent correctly what he meant to convey, that lie woull be the first to aid the saving of human life, that under the peculiar circumstance he would retira from and resign the office of mayor of Cork, and ho had taken the necessary steps to carry out that intention. Uuler such circumstances he hoped it would not be thought necessary to go on with the bill. The O'DONOGIILTE said Mr. 07Sn2livan had under -EMI that eight to write to the p..oper officers nt Cork placing his r6ignasion of the office of mayor in their hands, and he fait quite sure that Government might rest cet tain that the iurpose of Mr. O'Sulli van , guarantee d as it . . • _ w,,ttld be by himself, and the hen. member fur Cork (Mr. Maguire) would bu fully ztud houo4rably carried out. (hear, hear.) Mr. GLADSTONE said he felt it right to say that until that moment he was totally unacquainted with the contents of the letterjust read, but as he understood it was to be clearly taken that Mr. O'Sullivan had absolutely, though not technically, resigned the office of Mayo: of Cork. He could not distrust the statements of Mr. O'Sul livan, even had it not been supported by the unimpeach able guarantee of the two hen. gentlemen who had just spoken ; and under such circumstances he did not think it wouli be desirable to proscute the measure against the gentleman who had volun tarily divested himself of the office of Mayor of Cork. But it would be wise to consider the bill with respect to future Mayors of Cork, and, if on the resignation of Mr. O'Sullivan he should again be re elected, they would then be again in the position in which they then stood. Under such circumstances he should pro po.io to postpone any further consideratiod of the bill until a successor to Mr. O'Sullivan as Mayo: of Cork had been elected. (Hear, hear.) The object of the Government had been fully attained, and as that was so, he would move the postponement of the consideration of the bill. (Hear, hear.) After some discussion the motion of Mr. Gladstone was agreed to. [LEFT SITTING. LAW IMELLIGENCE.—(/his Day.) QUEEN'S BENCH. THE CASE OF MADAME RACHEL.

THE CASE OF MR. GREEN. Mr. MONSELL said the matter relative to Mr. Green, who had been colonial chaplain for many years, D. Colenso, and Dr. Gray, being in a very complicated state, the noble lord at the head of the Colonial Department would consult the law officers of the Crown before taking steps in the matter. THE PATRIOTIC FUND. Mr. CARDWELL said the patriotic fund commissioners reported through the Secretary for War, and when th,ir report of the matters they had Leen investigating was complete, it would, of course, be sent to the Secretary for War, and he would at once produce it if it was requisite.

If Mr. Edmunds desired to have his history recorded he had better find out some other chancel than the Trea sury. Mr. BENTINCK gave notice of his intention on an early day of calling attention to the subject, and concluding Lis statement with a motion. CRIME IN IRELAND. Mr. C. FORTESCITE, in reply to Lord 'Tom lisnirits, said there was no possible effort or exertion that was not being taken to put down the shocking state of things that disgraced certain parts of Ireland. With respect to legis lative measures, the subject was surrounded with, enormous difficulties, arising principally from the difficulty of procur ing the evident* to insure a conviction. He could assure the noble lord the Government were using every means in their power to meet the evil, and, amongst other things, they were considering the best mode of rendering the power of the Lord-Lieutenant more extensive an effectual. THE INCOME TAX. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. Miller, said he had discovered the memorial to which reference had been made the other evening. It had bean sent by mistake to the inland Revenue Office. With ro spect to its prayer, altering the day for collecting the tar, there would be great inconvenience if the day originally fixed was altered, and on the other hand it was said great inconvenience would arise if it was not altered. However, it seemed to him that the lesser inconvenience would be caused if the original arrangement was adhered to, and therefore he thought it best to let matters remain as they stood. ORDERS OF THE DAY. On the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE, the orders of the day were postponed until after the notices of motion relati ve to Pauperism and Vagrancy and the Courts of Justice New Site. THE NEW LAW COURTS. Mr. CRAUFIIRD wished to know if the right hen. gentleman the First Commissioner of Works would state how much the new proposition would cost, and at what hour he would bring his motion forward?
