At the sitting of the Council yesterday it became necessary to re-appoint the various Committees, and that of Educa tion stood first. Mr. Blackburn, who has just been re elected to a member of the Town Council by the largest majority of any of the wards, moved the appointment of the Education Committee in a most brilliant speech. The United Kingdom is so much interested in education that it is desirable that the proceedings at Liverpool should be diffused throughout the whole empire, especially as she is certainly taking the lead upon the great and important subject of national education. Mr. BLACKBURN having risen to move the appointment of the Education Committee, Mr. J. SMITH asked if that was the proper time to pre sent a memorial on the subject. The MaYon thought it had better be deferred for the present. Mr. C. LAWRENCE said he had an unpleasant daty to perform in rising to object to the appointment of an Educa tion Committee. He did so with great reluctance. Mr. BL - acauns—Would not Mr. Lawrence find it more convenient to move an amendment on nay motion 2 ( Hear, hear.) Mr. C. LAWRENCE—I am moving it as an amendment. —(Laughter.) lam not going to object to the appoint ment of a Committee, but its oject and duties. The MAYOR thought that Mr. Lawrence had better wait until Mr. Blackburn had moved the appointment of a Com mittee.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Mr. BLACKBURN said that, in rising to make the propo sal that a Committee should be appointed, under the deno mination of an Education Committee, to take charge of the schools at the north and south ends of the town, which had been erected by the Council from the funds of the Corpo rate estate and been maintained, very much to the honour of the Council, and greatly to the advantage of the public, it was his anxious wish to avoid saying any thing that could lead to debate. The investigations which had recently been instituted by various parties into the state of the Corpora tion schools, and the inquiries which had been made as to the system of education pursued there had, he trusted, had the effect, to a very considerable degree, of satisfying the public mind with respect to those institutions, and of re moving those errors and misconceptions concerning them which had so extensively prevailed. The opponents of that system of education had thought proper, deliberately and if their own accord, to make the school question a test at the late municipal election.—(Hear.) The individuals who had come before the public on that occasion had come forward decidedly and avowedly as the friends of that system or as its opponents ; and look to the result ! The public had not thought proper to return more than four of the opponents of that system. An enlightened and a discerning public had proclaimed their opinion on the subject in a manner which could not be misunderstood. —(Hear, hear.) Had he no other fact to allude to, as evidence of the state of public opinion, than that he was now addressing the Chairman as chief magistrate of the bo rough, and 'as the representative of Pitt-street Ward, -he thought that fact would be quite sufficient--(Hear, hear.) He was quite aware that there were many gentlemen in that Council—perhaps not many—for whose judgment he lad.a high respect, who thought that:the Council ought not to interfere at all in the matter of education. Now, had the individuals on whom, in the first instance , the care of schools devolved, been influenced by a mere regard for their own comfort and quiet, and by a low and ignoble desire to retain their own ascendancy in the Council, they would, with those views, have done well and wisely to refrain from any meddling with a subject on which there was sure to be ae much difference of opinion, but he thought that the C ounc . j. did well in not pursuing that course. They were not unaware Of the difficulties which must beset their path ; but it was to their honour—it would be recorded to their honour, that they ventured to grapple with those difficul and ascertain culties—to look them manfully in the face, lish schools, open to whether it was possible or not to estal' all classes of the public, without any con promise of the principles held by any denomination of Christi whatso ever. He was quite willing to concede the princip:ft that, • unless those schools could be conducted on a system whic.h would throw them open to individuals of every variety of religious opinions amongst them, they ought not to be con ducted at all ; for the Council were trustees of the public property, and therefore bound to expend that property in such a way as to be fo r the e q ual benefit, of all classes of the community. — (H ear, hear.) He was prepared to hinge the whole question on this point—whether the schools were conducted on a system in which all classes of the commu nisy might safely and honourably coincide. If this could not be proved, he was willing to give them up at once, for he could not advocate their continuance on any other prin ciple.--(1-lear, hear.) The question then came to this— were they so c onducted—were they based on such a princi schools to all classes of ac‘ comm unity ? It was his decided ple as satisfied nil pa rties, and did, in effect, throw open the opinion, after a close and caret e xamination, that such was that the schools were thefo founded n c d a e s d e . on He a p w r i O n u o l i d p venturewhich to no say,mn c o 1.,",! object to rea -oinbaion e on the f c d l id of n any et r ;;: m csoonnascbileynatinodusfai rl opinionsy— a principle o r an any n which dua of Christians —and he could not but rejoice tliut it had fallen to the lot of the C ouncil of Liver p ool in the first in stance to introduce a system w hich, if acted u p on b y Go i vernm ent, and carried into effect throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland, would confer an immense benefit on the whole community, without the slightest interference with the religious principles of any denomination of Chris tiani whatever.—( Hear, hear.) The community might be considered as divided into three great sections—the mem bers of the Church of England, he Protestant Dissenters, and the Roman Catholics. He thought that there three di visions included, in so far as education was concerned, the whole of the community, and that a system which was cal culated to meet the wants and wishes of these three parties might, with propriety, be denominated a national system of e ducation.—( Hear.) That system which was erroneously denominated national, was so decidedly sectarian, that it opened its doors to only one of the three classes, and ex cluded all Dissenters and all Roman Catholics—and with regard to the mar e tolerant system of the British and Fo reign School Society, the regulation that the Scriptures'in the authorized version should be read by all tile pupils, ‘ir- • Wally excluded the Roman Catholics. Neither system met the exigencies of the case, and it was therefore ofgreat importance that sonic other system should be adopted which would through the schools open to all classes of the com munity. Now, he contended that this system did meet all the exigencies of the case, and that, as established in Liver pool, it furnished all that could be wanted or wished for in in relation to this subject. Let them suppose that a con scientious Churchman wished to place his children in the schools. Of course lie would wish that his children should be educated in religious principles in-accordance with his own views, that they should be allowed to read tle authorized version of the Scriptures, to learn the Church Catechism, worship of the Established Church. Now, he (Mr. • Blackburn) was prepared to say, that at these schools all I this would he done. The children would read the autbc rized version, th©y would have it explained by teachers and clergymen of their own persuasion, they would read the Church Catechism and the Church Collects, on the Sabbath day they would be conducted to Church : and he demanded what could any reasonable man ask more than this ? (Hear, hear.) He would ask, what more was done for child ren belonging to the Established Church in schools especially devoted to their education ?--(Hear, hear.) He was not aware that even in those schools anything more was done, and he would venture to say that it was not done better in those schools than it was done in the schools of the Cor poration.—(Load cries of Hear, hear.) There was no dif ference as to the quality and degree of religious instruction afforded in 'these schools, and that which they would receive in the national schools, except, •perhaps, this—that in the national schools, which were exclusive, the possib:lity was (whether intended or not) that the children would imbibe exclusive and sectarian principles and feelings ; whereas, in the Corporation schools they would ha taught, both by pre cept and example, this beautiful maxim,—" Inasmuch as in you lieth live peaceably with all men. l —(Hear, hear, and loud applause.) As to the Protestant Dissenter, what did he require which the Council were not prepared to ufford him ? Far from having any objection to the authorised ver sion of the Scripture, he required his child to read that version as a book from which he was to learn religion, not merely to learn, to read. Every child whose parents wished hint to read it, had the opportunity of doing so, but the Protestant Dissenter objected to his child being compelled to read the Church Catechism, and to go to Church on Sundays. At these schools the child would not b ; e n c d on: t p i e ie ll r e e d fo t r o e, dtoheereithweras; allthere 's t these schools compul siontha APPREHENSION of ONE of the INCENDIARIES. On Thursday morning, about two o'clock, as the Glou cester mail was passing the farm-yard at Gangsdown Hill, near Nettlebed, occupied by Mr. Deane, the passen gers discovered the thatched roof of one of the stables in flames. The guard and some of them broke open the stable door, in which were sixteen fine coach horses be longing to Mr. Costar of Oxford, and two men who had the care of them fast asleep ; the whole wore saved. The two last horses which stood in an inner stable were carried out by some men, in doing the clothes of one caught fire, but he received no other injury. Had not the fog thus providentially delayed the progress of the mail a little be yond its usual time, both man and horses must have perished. The property consumed were three stables, a a cottage in which the shepherd lived, and two large barns full of oats, the property of Mr. Deane of Mays Farm. Yesterday morning shortly after the servant of Mr. Garlick (at Beggar Bush Hill, one mile from the former fire) came down stairs, she alarmed the family, stating the woodhouse was in Limes. The inmates got up directly, and soon succeeded in putting .out the fire without doing much mischief. The girl stated when she came down stairs she found two men in the place who had just set it on fire, who threatened to murder her if she made any alarm, and they would do it some other time. This morning as the Birmingham coach was passing the house, the coachman Thornton discovered the thatch of a pigstye and a stable in flames. With the aid of the passengers and a few persons who collected, the fire was got under after destroying the thatch of the buildings and some poultry. As soon as the coach arrived at Henley, Thornton returned back with Stephens, our active policeman, and from circumstances which transpired after his arrival, he was induced to sus pect the servant girl, about 17 years old, of being Vie in cendiary, and on the course of the afternoon she confessed having committed this act, as well as that of the preceding day. She will be examined here to-morrow before the county magistrates, and there is every reason to hope some chain of evidence will be disclosed as may lead to the apprehension of the perpetrators of the other conflagration at Gangsdowa Hill. THE- MARKETS. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING LAST WEEK. the Protestant Dissenter could ask for, and that party amongst them were perfectly satisfied w ith th e school s as now conducted. With regard to the ,Protestant Dissenters generally, they would not be likely, in any national system of education, to attach much impor tance to the arrangements made with respect to the Sab bath day, provided there was no compulsion ; for he believed they were in the habit of attending to their own families on that day, and taking them to their own places of worship, whiell be thought a much better plan than sending them to public schools to be conducted to church or chapel en masse. The Council had, therefore, provided for the wants of Churchmen and Protestant Dissenters ; but they had also provided for the wants of the Roman Catholics. It was hardly necessary for him to enter into any defence of the system, as opening the schools to Roman Catholics, because it was made a prominent ground of attack against them that they bad thrown open the doors of the schools to Roman Catholics. The Roman Catholic children were not com pelled. to learn or to attend to any thing to which the con scientious convictions of their parents led them to object. Whether those convictions were well founded or not, the Council had no right to discuss. They were bound to re spect conscience, even when it could be proved to be in error ; and no man, under any circumstances ought to be compelled to do that for his children to which he had a conscientious objection,—whether well founded or ill, it was for himself, and not for the public, to discuss.—( Hear.) it might be said that all this was mere theory—that expe rience bad proved that these schools VVere not acceptable to a large portion of the community.—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) He was prepared to rebut that assertion by facts. It was true that in the North School a preponde rating number of the children were Roman Catholics, and, it was not to be wondered at that it was the case, consi dering the great exertions that had been made to excite an unfavourable opinion with regard to these schools in the minds of Protestants generally.—( Hear, hear.) The won der was that so many came to the schools as did, but the case had been altering materially of late ; the plain common sense of the community had gradually overcome the influ ence that had been exerted upon it. It had been discovered that various prejudices and apprehensions were unfounded ; it had been found that the children were receiving a valu able education and sustaining in no respect any injury what soever, and the number of Protestant children attending the North School had greatly and , rapidly increased. — (Hear.) In the South School there was about an equal proportion of Protestants and Roman Catholics, and, of the two, rather more Protestants. In the North School the number of the Catholics was greater, but the disproportion was continually on the decrease. According to a recent return there were in the boys' and girls' schools 549 Ro• man Catholic children, and 154 Protestants ; in the infant school there were 100 Protestants—so that in the North School, though there was an immense preponderance of Ro man Catholics residing in the neighbourhood, who stood in need of education, there were now 250 Protestant children in constant attendance, which was a decisive proof that the prejudice against the schools was dying away.—(Hear.) In theory, in principle, and in practice, therefore, these schools were calculated for the general benefit of the whole commu nity, and with great piopriety they might be supported by the public fands.• On these grounds, therefore, he moved that the Education Committee be now re-appointed.— (Loud applause.) Mr. JORDAN seconded the motion. Mr. C. LAWRENCE was quite aware how the business might be expected to end. Ho therefore begged leave to move that these schools be sold. At the same time he was quite sensible what fate awaited the motion. . A very great proportion of the population of this town were of the same opinion, as some few of them (Mr. Lawrence and his friends) there. He did it merely from a conscientious feel ing. He rose to propose that the Committee to be ap pointed, instead of being what was called an Education Committee, that that Committee be appointed. He should say that (residing from a paper) inasmuch as the Corpora tion schools had been the occasion of great ill and conten tion, and the mode of conducting them was not likely to be' satisfactory to the public altogether, it was advisable that the same should be sold, and that the Committee now formed be denominated a School Committee, for the pur pose of reporting to the Council the best mode of carrying into effect of this resolution. -- Mr. SHAND seconded the amendment. Mr. J..SMITII handed in a memorial from the " Conser vative Burgesses" of West Derby Ward, solemnly protest ing against the introduction of the Irish system into Eng land as a gratuitous assault on the established religion of the country, and calling upon the• Council to sell the schools as the only fair, honest, and impartial course which they could adopt. Mr. G. H. Lawaerscg supported the amendment, as suggesting the only remedy for the unhappy state of things in which they were now placed by the Council's persever ance in this system of Irish education. They ought to re trace their steps on this question, as being contrary to the principles and conscientious views of the members of the Church Establishment. They surely deserved some. little Consideration, being supported by almost every clergyman belonging to the establishment. He was sure they would restore peace to the town by retracing their steps,, and, above all, they would do away with religious agitation. They (the Tories) never wished to make an election tool of the Bible.—(Laughter, and loud cries of "oh! oh I") He was sorry that its influence shauld be removed, and hoped it was not too late to reconsider the question. Mr. Aldermen Brown suggested that the memorials in filvour of the schools presented at the last Council should now be read. The MAYOR thought this hardly necessary, as they were read at the time. Mr. EARLE did not wonder at. all, now that the tide was setting the other way, that the opponents of the schools should wish them to be disposed of.—(Hear, hear.) The tide had now come to the Council's side of the nuestior, and hence the wish that the schools should be disposed of. (Laughter tied applause.) Mr. BoLro,f was astonished to hear it raid by any gen tleman capable of iefketion that the schools should be dis posed of for the sake of peace and quietness. If that prin ciple had always been acted upon, neither Parliamentary nor Municipal Reform would have been obtained—all that was bad and corrupt would be suffered to remain unaltered —and no amelioration of the institutions of the country could be procured. lie thought Liverpool peculiarly adapted for the introduction of this system, on account of the large proportion of Irish inhabitants of the working classes, who had not the means of educating their children. He con tended that the Protestant children derived greater advan tages from these schools than those of . any other class, inas much as they were provided with sittings in the Churches of the Establishment on Sunda,s. lie was most strongly opposed to the idea of selling the eei.: ol2 - Mr. WALIISLE,Y would merely make one remark upon the memorial. It commenced by asserting that the Irish system had been introduced into these schools. h.. beFged to state that the Irish system of education had not ben introduced into the schools, but merely the Irish extracts. Mr. DAVID HODGSON should have been very happy on this his first introduction into the Council, if on this question he and his friends bad been in a different situ ation, for he apprehended, with the Honourable Coun cilor who had moved the amendment, that it must serve but as a protest. He should under other circumstances I have been almost content to continue in silence, and to await in patience a more suitable and more favourable opportunity for coining forward with the various argu ments that might be used,—an opportunity when he should by practice have attaieed• a greater efficiency in expressing his sentiments,—a greater facility in communicating them, —and a better chance of grappling with the eloquence and superior manner, from habit 'and natural powers, of stating the case, such as Mr. Blackburn had just exhi bited, than he felt he should now have. Conscientiously feeling, however, as he did feel on this deeply important subject, he could not allow the opportunity of offering his protest to pass without expressing, imperfectly as he might express, some few sentiments on this subject ; if he understood the ground on which the lii li system was in troduced into this town, it was, that Co the uncil might include all parties, in order, through that conciliation, to give effect to a better system of e ducation. Now, notwith standing what Mr. Blackburn had said with regard to the late election—and far be it from him (Mr. Hodgson) to throw down any thing that night be c onsidered as a matter of discord on so deeply interesting a s ubject—apart from either municipal electio n or p olitical question, lie would ask that gentleman, and he would ask the whole Council, what conciliation had been the result? Had it not been a bone of contention, separating the very bonds of society ? Had it not separated those who, for the last half century, had been engaged in the turmoils of hostile electioneering, —who had not yet been able to unite Hear, hear.) Had it not changed the character of this town, which had hitherto been known and famous for the healing of the tem porary discord that electioneering parties had occasioned durin g the period of the election ? Had it not been pre viously remarkable how little these had been recollected, and how soon the wound, if any, had been healed? But was it so now ?—(Hear.) Was not discord prevailing from one end of the town to the other? He would ult say, if hie could anticipate all the great good that Mr. Black'. urnt seemed to anticipate from this system,—he would not tay that even the harmony of social intereourse,--nay, even the public peace might not for a time be sacrificed ; but be would ask if the Irish system had inherent in itself the boon cf that compensating good in prospect ? None what ever. If it had not served the purpose of conciliation, and that it would not serve the purpose of conciliation, he had no earthly question whatever,—what boon did it confer ? Had it added any thing ? If it had added any thing it must be according to some Irish arithmetie,-- it must add by subtracting—(Laughter, and cries of " Oh, oh,") for surely it had added nothing to what they possessed before. They were pursuing a systetui of husbandry from which he confessed he thought they would derive little profit. In their top-dressing they had not provided for drains, nor had they removed their briars • and thorns encumbered th e su r f ace . He was of opinion that a system of national education—he meant not to speak harshly with regard to it—that any system of na tional education was little better than a system of national folly.—(oh, oh.) He thought that as long as men enter tained different views of sacred things, it was impossible that they could meet together on this subject,—it was im possible that the cause either of religious truth or sound knowledge could be promoted in conjunction with untruth and error. An eminent author of the present day observed that " an advance in knowledge without religion is like that of our first parents to the tree of knowledge—an advance unto death,"—and he (Mr. Hodgson) was of opinion that a system of education which under authority treated alike truth and error, was incapable of communicating sound moral or religious instruction. Men were wiser in their generation ; he need not appeal to them in the world's affairs, for they were all acquainted with them, whether they thought that they would be likely to promote honest dealing and morality by countenancing in their trans actions the issue of base money mixed up with the stan dard coin of the realm.—(Hear, bear, and laughter.) Such he considered the system of national education now under consideration. He would not now take up more of their: time,—but when they said that they respected the conscientious spruples. of all classes of the community with- out taking upon themselves to decide whether those scruples were well or ill founded, he would ask them to consider the scruples of the largest class of the community.—(" No.") The Church of England was, he believed, the largest class of the community ; he believed that the Church of Eng land had most unequivocally expressed its sentiments against the system ;—he believed also that the Church of England was the wealthiest body here ; he believed that they con tributed more largely than any other class to the funds ap propriated to the maintenance of these schools : and were the public funds to be so appropriated, against the will of so large a proportion, both in numbers and weight of their fellow-citizens ? He was not at all disposed—not in the least disposed—to impugn the Motives of any of the gentle men 'around him for having tried this experiment ; he be lieved that they wished to try it as an experiment, and some of them had told him that if it did not answer, they would oppose it. Now, if it had not failed, as an experi ment, he was at a loss to know what failure was. The elections (lid not present to him the view which Mr. Blrickburn had taken. He' had not interfered much ; but if the papers were correct, the Conservatives had gained five members at the last election; and four at this. He knew this—that it took a long time for men to attain to _ such a love of truth as to throw off their own consistency. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) " I appeal," said Mr. Hodg son warmly, " to many of those present"— The MAYOR—Perhaps Mr. Hodgson will address him self to the chair. Mr. HODGSON was not aware that he was breaking any rule oforder. He appealed to many of the gentlemen pre-; sent, if they had moral courage to - speak out, to say whether the experiment had answered their expectations.—(Loud and general cries of "It has.") He could not tell who did not speak.—(Laughter.) He would not take up more of their time now.—( Hear.) The subject might be considered by sonic as worn somewhat threadbare ; but it was one of deep and vital importance—one not for the working of men's heads, but of conscientious men's hearts. He did sincerely wish that they would consent to the sale of the schools, in order to secure the peace of the town,—in order to remove from themselves the charge to which they were exposed—that of an undue and unfair appropriation of the public funds,—in order to remove from themselves the responsibility of a system of education in which ho thought the opinions entertained here and elsewhere, and especially in the Council itself, showed that they were altogether in the wrong. With these remarks he would conclude, sincerely wishing that he had a better chance of success. He hoped that there would be a change in their sentiments. He had no personal interest whatever ; but he was sincerely desirous for the victory of truth, and hoped that conviction would be brought to their minds as to the error of the course which they were pursuing. Mr. W. W. CURRIE was extremely glad to bear from his young friend; the new Member fol. \Vest DerbrWard, that the question of the schools and of the Bible •Vas not made an election question, because it satisfied him (Mr. Currie) that he, at least was sincere in that declaration, and gave the lie to what was certainly a very general im pression in the town.—(Hear, bear.) He (Mr. Currie) had, however, too much reason to believe that the fact was otherwise, for he stated, on his own responsibility that one gentleman of the party disl say that he considered the school question a perfect Godsend, and that he hoped the Coun cil would persevere, and not give it up, for it was the best trump the Conservatives had, and by it they hoped to win the elections.—(Loud cries of " flear,hcar. 4 ) The newly elected member for Everton Ward had said that the opi nion of the Church population had been unequivoCally ex pressed against this system—that it had produced nothing but discord—and thatso long as it was continued it would have no other effect, and that the experiment bad not an swered. Now he would ask the Member for Everton Ward, and he would ask the Council whether the experi ment had had a fair trial ? whether the ministers of the Church, to whom the people naturally looked up, had acted the part which their feelings ought to have dictated to t h em ? He impugned no man's motives ;he had always respected the clergy, but be asked whether they had not persisted in representations which were not founded in fact, and w Welt were calculated to produce that very dis cord of which the Member for Everton Ward complained? —(Hear, hear.) Bui it was not the fact that the Clergy, as a body, were opposed to the system. Mr. Currie then stated that the Hon. and ktev. Baptist Noel, Minister of Bedford-street Chapel, Louder', a gentleman whom lie eulo gized as a steady and consistent Member of the Church of England, and generally acknowledged as the head of the Evangelical party, had gone over to Ireland, and spent six weeks there, for the express purpose of examining into the system of national education. The result was that Mr. Noel declared, - in a work which he had recently published, that whilst he was opposed to the errors oT the Church of Rome, he did not see anything in that system of education which the promoters of education, or the lovers of Ireland, ought not to approve of.—(Hear, hear.) Oa the contrary, he declared that he did not see how any other system of education could be adopted in Ireland. After stating Mr. Noel's opinions more at length, Mr. Currie. concluded by expressing a hope that the Council would not go away with the impression that all the Clergy of the Church of Eng lard were opposed to the system. Mr. Hopt;sox wished to ask whether Mr. Noel's opinion referred merely to the system in Ireland, or to its introduc tion into England ?
