Four years ego he had the honour of addressing a memorial from Man chester to the Marquis of Lansdowne, in favour of the adoption of a national system of education, from which he would read an extract to his Lordship. It was as fol lows:—" That your memorialists would rejoice, above all, to see established throughout the country a compre hensive scheme of national education, by which the great mass of the people would be provided with sound mental, industrial, or moral training—the children of different faiths taught in the same school their common duties, and the spirit of mutual respect and toleration—and in struction iu the religious principles of particular deno mina;ions left to the teachers of each denomination." With reference to this association, he had only lately become a member of it; but he believed the provisions of the measure now submitted to his Lordship's conside ration were entirely in accordance with those principles to which he had understood Lord Lansdowne to give the saecii en of his approval. Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P., said he wished just to notice the great affinity, he thought he might say the identity of this scheme of education wish the plan already so suc cessfully carried on iu Ireland under the direction of the Government. Thu arrangement proposed in the schools was as lamely as possible th e same; th ere was th e same separation of secular from religious instruction, and the same attempt at combination of persons of different reli gious opinions; and, in the view of the projectors of this scheme, the result would be the elevation of educa tion itself. So long as the schoolmaster was merely a sort of journeyman minister or clergyman, they should scarely expect that secular instruction should attain to that high character which it was so desirable it shoUld assume. The differences between this and the Irish system were chiefly, if not exc:usively, those which re lated to the rating and to local management; but, as to the schools themselves, they wished to adopt the regu lations followed in the Irish school.. The object of the deputation was, therefore, to raise English eaucation to the standard of Irish education, there being this differ ence between the cases, that the criminal returns for Ireland showed the effichncy of the schools there in the continued decrease in the per centage of criminals who received instruction, while no such result was obt a i ne d in this part of the kingdom; and us they had otters heard of " justice to Ireland;' he hoped in this matter it would not be too much to ask for justice to England. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said—l have a very few remarks to trouble you with on this subject; but in the first place, let me say I think the country is indebted to you, gentlemen, who are making an effort on behalf of educa tion. I have very long felt that the state of education in this country is not anch as we should be proud of, and indeed such as we ought almost to be ashamed of; and, therefore, I think any gentlemen who have com bined for the purpose of improving the education of the country, whether they succeed or fail in that object, de serve credit for making the attempt itself. Of course there is no privaie end to be obtained in that attempt, and your labours can only be for the advantage of the country itself. With regard to anything further, I have to state that I must not be understood as express ing the opinion of the Government, which has not come to any decision on this subject at the present moment, and, I may say that any of the remarks which I may myself make on the subject must be taken as subject to further consideration and reflection by myself. The question mentioned by some gentlemen as to the Govern ment proposing a scheme of national education is one that requires to be very deeply considered before it is adopted. The Government of Lord Melbourne once proposed what they thought might be an improve ment in thegreat system of education; and that; was only carried in the House of Commons, in a Committee of the whole House, by a majority of two. Sir James Graham, again, under the Government of Sir R. Peel, proposed a scheme of public education, and afterwards made alterations and concessions in the plan—and very properly made them—to meet objections; but at last he was obliged to abandon the measure altogether. Upon the whole, there are circumstances which show the diffi culty in the way of the Government proposing a scheme of national education. My own opinion is that the question is advancing to a solution; but I know it is the opinion of Lord Lansdowne, and it is also my own, that the question is not at present in such a state as to be ripe for the Government undertaking it; and under- Liking it prematurely would be more likely to mar the object than to promote it. So far, then, as to the Government. With regard to your particu lar scheme, I wish not to say much about it; but I wish, gentlemen, to consider—and I think the Government would be obliged to consider, if they undertook it—what the state of the country is, and what the opinion of the public would be regarding it. When there were only Sunday-schools existing in the country for the poorer classes, the British and Fosfeign School Society attempted to establish a more general system of daily instruction. They made it necessary in their schools that instruction in the Bible should be given, they refused to accept any creeds, catechism:, or any thing that would exclude those who agreed to the read ing of tho Bible; but that evidently included religious instruction. When the National School Society was set up, they required instruction not only in the Bible, but instruction in the Liturgy and the Catechism of the Church of England. There have been, also a groat many schools established by the Wesleyan body, who re quire that the whole of the Bible shall be read in those schools, and are not only against excluding religious in struction, but against the r.-acting of portions only of the Scriptures. That shows that the tendency of all those different societies, and I might add the Corgregatioun lists and others; and the employment of the sums they have colleted have all been directed io combine reli gious with secular instruction. And I think, though it is a system that may be changed, you Few not emit the; fact us tin important eltmint in the consideration of th e schools which already exist. It isirreposed by this Bill to combine the maintenance of the new schools with the t . c b4 A ds now t xistieg. That would be very much a matter tit detail, and would depend upon whether they could be maintained in a way to which these societies would agree. I think that at present certainly the gene ral opinion of the country is iu favour of a comnination of religious with secular instru,tion. Perhaps I may have sonic prejudices myself on this subject. I have very leag belonged to the British and Foreign School Society, and have very much adopted their views on this subject; but that may be a prejudice. Mr. Fox says, and says very truly, that this scheme is very similar to that scheme w hich the Government has adopted, and which is in f or ce in Ireland, and has worked very successfully. But I th in k it hardly follows that although it is the hest for this country. Ireland that it would be the best tor That, I think, is a point which may be disputed. I do not wish to say anything further with regard to this particu lar scheme. There is one thing, h oweve r , to,, that I have seen with great satisfaction, with _ rega rdte Ma nchester. Al thoughb protest I hold in infliand ,o f the Society of Local Education Lill, yet I think it is Friends against the t bathave been laid before me evident from the facts e not that their objections are to directed to the principle of a local rate, but n r Ithink the particular provisions of the Bill itself; a of d there Seems to be in Man chester a great majority those who pay rates who aro willing to c oncur in paying rates for the improvement of education . I thin k that is a very encouraging cir cumstance, because men in general do not say they are to pa y more than they ready now pay ; and their being willing to paY rates for educational purposes proves the estimation in which they hold education, and the great binefits to be derived from i t . I w i sh only further to sa y, that I hope you will go on with your scheme, with out, of course, pledging me self to any part that I can take on the subject, but because I think that even fai lures in schemes of this kind produce much good ; and with regard to the scheme of Sir J. Graham, to which I have referred, although it was met by a great deal of opposition sad clamour at first, yet the ul tirmete result was that great efforts were made to promote education, and great advantages ensued from that attempt. I will certainly say further that I do not share in the opinion of those who think that there is any hostility between secular and religious instruction. My opinion certainly is, that if the whole country was to say " We must give up all hope of combining religious with secular instruction; it is in vain to attempt it any more, and we can only by general consent give secular instruction," I am con vinced that so far from that beiag hostile to religious instruction it would prepare the minds of the pupils who received this secular instruction for the reception of re ligious instruction, and would make them better able to understand that which the ministers of religion would themselves have to communicate to them. By giving them secular instruction, however, you may seek to convey it, you cannot fail to lead the mind to lore and venerate the Deity, whose wisdom and beneficence are seen in the works of creation; and to love our neigh bours—not to mention those great moral doctrines which, although not religion itself, cannot fail to prepare the minds of children, as I have said, for the reception of its great principles, when afterwards brought under the inculcation of religion. The Rev. Dr. BE A RD said, in relation to a remar k of • Lord John Russell , that the Bible was used in t h e British and Foreign Society schools — the Bible was not e ded of the ' f rom the schools by any provision of the Bill assoc iation, which gave the power of choosingschool books to the school committees; and if those c o mm i ttees be introduced. resolved on introducing the Bible, it wou ld a majority of In regard to his Lordship's statement, thata rate for ratepayers had given their consent to National Public educa tion, ho (Dr. Beard) might state that that those who were School Association having thought a s those who were to to receive the education, as we l l, bt o gone beyond the pay for it, should be consulte d, b among their supporters ratepayers; and while they a epayers, they had received many of the largest of the t f th eir r Bill 55 , 000 signatures. to n petition on behalf o The deputatione h b ow ed their acknowl e d gments to rew. his Lordship, enhd lion.

FAREWELL, OLD YEAR! marked by the revolution of Empires and the convelsion of Kingdoms, by the progress of Arts and Exhibitions of Industry, fraught with events which will be recorded on the historic page, forming an epoch interesting to the Philosopher and the Mechanic — a great step in the progress of civilization, and a bond of amity to the hostile tribes of the human race The gathering of all Nations in the chief commercial city in the world, has been an event long to be remembered. The magnificent outlay, amazing preparations, and highly cultivated taste displayed in the memorable Exhibition, aroused the attention of all classes— from the unskilled barbarian to the professor of science—from the beloved Sovereign of our ceuntry to the most distant member of her extensive empire : millions visited the metropolis during this display, and the inhabitants of the City received numerous additions to the sources of gfatification every day unfolding. Great as was this expo sition of the resources, skill, and industry of all nations, approved and instructive as were its results, E. MOSES and SON, though they had little to learn from the styles and fabrics of dress presented in the World's Show, being connected with all the most celebrated con tributors, and engaging the same talent in the manufacture of their clothing ; yet thy had the pleasure of tendering their attention to thousands who visited their Establishments, and favoured them with their support : nor were they less gratified by the spontaneous manner in which approbation was manifested towards their great business undertakings, all based on such a system as gratifies the observer while it secures the proper advancement of society by diffusing a correct and elevated taste. This they assert with the most substantial proof that they are giving expression to the senti ments of thousands, who will long remember their business Establish ments as the principal attractions of the City. The Glass Palace may henceforth be little regarded, or may be entirely removed ; but E. MOSES and SON, encouraged by the confidence and patronage of thousands, will endeavour to render their Establishments attractive by the magnificence of their Stock, its adaptation to all Seasons, its' unparalleled elegance, and its prices, telow those of any other house in the kingdom ; they therefore hail the New Year, in the spirit of tradesmen, posted up to the present moment, ready to meet all the commards of their friends and patrons in the City or in the Country, to supply at any moment the most appropriate style of dress at the lowest rate, or to give imme diate attention, and, they doubt not, great satisfaction to those Gentlemen who favour them with their orders in the Bespoke De partment. For festive occasions they invite an inspection of their elegant fabrics and most modern styles. For Winter Wear they recom mend, with the highest satisfaction, their endless variety of warm and comfortable dress ; they also request the attention of Gentle men whose Sons have returned 'rom school to spend their holidays, to pay a visit to their City or West End Establishments, and to select from their varied and immense Stock of Juvenile Dress, which has the three following requisites combined—Fashion, Durability, and Cheapness. Nor have they neglected to provide for the Year 1852 every Article in tte Outfitting Department. Furs, the last im ported from the far-famed hunting stations, manufactured to the latest styles, and preserved from the destruction of the moth by a peculiar process. To particularize Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots, Shoes, &c., &c., &c., is unnecessary. A visit to E. MOSES and SON'S Establishments in Aldgate and Mino - ies, or New Oxford-street, corner of Hart-street, will convey some idea of their derermination in reference to the year 1852. No sacrifice of time, talent, or money, will be considered, No exer lions which vigilant and persevering tradesmen can make will neglected. No opportunity of gratifying the diversified tastes of their Patrons will be allowed to pass unimproved. But, by massive outlay of capital, extensive business transactions in the first circles of fashion, by unabated zeal in all deportments of their daily increasing trade, they are resolved to make such an impres sion on their Friends, Patrons, and the Public, as will ensure to them the celebrity of the first Clothiers and Outfitters in the World. It is their ambition to maintain the honourable distinction they have already attained ; to meet the claims of an improving state of so ciety ; to extend the benefit of Free Trade ; to turn to the most profitable account the interchange of nations; and to incorporate with these events the reduction of price on those every day requi sites, Elegant and Serviceable Dress. In the execution of these gigantic designs they are cheered on by the encouragement they have already received ; and in biddier , farewell to the Old Year, they express their highest sense of obligation for the support awarded to their establishments, and hope, ere the close of another year, they will have the satisfaction of being, as they always have been, uri vers illy acknowledged as the cheapest, most talented, and unrivalled Clothiers, Tailors, Outfitters, and Merchants iu the World.

It was this feeling, founded on a true estimate of the noble and resolute character of my friend, Sir John Franklin, which induced the gallant young Pim to propound his adventurous scheme. It is on the same principle of meeting Franklin that another project has been started, in the most generous manner, by Mr. Beatson, which I shall bring before the Royal Geographical Society at its next meeting, and by which it is proposed to attain the same end by penetrating to the north of Behring's Strait in a small screw steamer. Let us, therefore, trust that, in addition to any we ll concerte d sc h em e devis e d by our Admiralty for following in the track of Franklin, other means may be devised, through the cooperation of England and Russia, by which the intense anxiety that is felt may be set at rest. Above all, let us put away despondency until ev ry possible means shall have been exhausted. Let us were rescued providenti a ll y an d b roug h t b ac k a liv e a nd cling to the ho well to Archangel, after pe that, as five ou t o f s i x Russian seamen Passing upwards of six years in the frozen Arctic region of Spitzberge“where they ob tained abundance of animal food), we may yet see a portion, at least, of our gallant missing crews return, even though the supplies they carried out with them from this country may have been long ago exhausted.

A philanthropical friend of mine brought the above mentioned anecdote of th e five itessian seamen into the_notiee'of therl . bite liWufinuat o r&some ntimber of the Morning Chronwle, to which I have here no ac cess; but the facts are given in minute detail in the Annual Register of 1774. Bourne-mouth, Jan. 4. METROPOLITAN OMNIBUS SERVANTS. A meeting was held on M on d ay at t h e I n f ant School-room, Paddington-green, " to cons id er th e means necessary for the improvement of the mental, religious, and physical condition of the omnibus servants of the metropol is.„ There was a crowded attendance. The Rev. M. A. CAmmiELL, vicar of Paddington, presided, and briefly stated the object of the meeting. He regarded the question of the omnibus servants as part of a much greater question—the better observ ance of the Sabbath. It was only by bringing public opinion to bear on the matter that an a lt era ti on cou ld be e ff ected. Two omnibus propriet ors h a d th at morn ing called upon him, and expressed th e i r rea di ness t o co-operate in the object of this meeting, and no doubt many others would be ready to do the same.— (Cheers.) The provident fund which h as b een esta blished in connexion with this movement could only be efficiently supported by co-operati ng w ith th e employers. The object of this fund w as t o g r an t pecuniary assistance, with medibal a tt en d ance an d medicines, to the sick, and to. as s i s t th e w id ows o f members ; the erection of an asyl um f or th e age d and feeble, and the establishment of a school for the children of members. Towards this association a fund of 1,500/. was already raised.—(Hear, hear.) of the Christi▪ an religion, no l e s s than of justic e an d h uman ity, The Hon. A. KINNAIRD moved, " That this meet ing beli eves it t o b e in accordance w ith th e acknow ledged pri nc iples that no class o f men s h ou ld be employed in ordinary labour to such an extent as t t i o on be an de d p r r e iv st ed fo o r f btohdeyopapnod mi▪ ncy opportunity of He expressed his confident religious instrue monalready effected would gain this boon for he belief that omnibus a t s ervant s , ervan public t s ,opas it i had other social and political reforms. He had not the slightest hos tility to any of the proprietors, and be lieved th a t they would generally co-operate in the movement. At present the omnibus servants were employed for 13 or 14 hours a day, with but 15 or 20 minutes for dinner, subject to reduction for loss of time in their journeys. One man stated that he had driven seven years on the Paddington line, and never had more than one Sunday to himself in the course of a twelvemonth. He had 45 minutes for his meals, but could not get them at home. He commenced work at eight in the morning, and left off at eleven at night. He would gladly go to a place of worship if he could. Another stated—" I have been a driver for fourteen years. Seldom can get to a place of worship. I have sometimes asked master for a day's rest on a Sunday, but his reply has ale ays been ' Rest ielleneyou are dead.'- Ali wife is a religious woman, and it is a sad trouble to her that I can never go with her to church." A third—" I leave home for the stables at half past seven, and I never see my own door again until twelve at night. Week days and Sundays are all alike to me. I get two or three Sundays in the course of a year, but I have to sacrifi ce my wages an d em ploy a sub stitute." A fourth_" I am time.keeper at . My day's work co mmences at nine i n t h e morni ng , and finishes at ten a t n i g h t. I have no l e isure f or meals, but have t o ge t t h em as I stan d i n th e stre e t. I never have a S un d ay ' s rest. " A f if t h—" --- I am on the Islington .road. I h ave one Sunday in every five, but am generally so worn out that I am glad t o spen d most o f that day in bed. I should r e j o i ce to have every Sunday to myself : and would w illi ngly sacrif i ce my d a y's wages for this purpose. I was on c e a Sabbath school scholar, and know that I ought not to work on the Sabbath, but what am Itodo ? I have no other em ployment tc, go to, and my w if e an d family must no t starve:' Some people supposed that this was a healthful occupation. The reverse was the case. the men were much subjec t to bronchial affections, from their constant exposure to the weather, and these frequently led to consumption and premature death. There was no doubt that, by ar rangement amongst themselves, the proprietors might secure not only the convenience of the public but the spiritual and temporal welfare of their men. — (Hear, hear.) He rejoiced to be able to state that on the Holloway and Islington line the men had been re lieved from about twenty or twenty-two journeys on the Sunday. — (Cheers.) Mr. EDMUNDS, an omnibus proprietor, of Pad dington, said that there h a d b e en no alteration whatever on the line referred to. The statement a b ou t their beginning at eight o'clock in the morn ing was an exaggeration; he did not believe - that the men worked on the average more than twelve hours. The proprietors had been very anxious to assist the provident society, And had subscribed about 100/. towards it ; but they wer e muc h dissatisfied with the way in which it was conducted. As regarded the Sabbath, there was no doubt some arrangement might be made ; but he doubted whether it was possible to get the men to rest on the Sunday. The wages were paid out of the driving money, and varied from 25. 3d. to 2s. 6d. per day. Mr. GRA Y, another proprietor, denied that the men we re ill-paid or ill-used, though they might be hard worked. No class of men bad less to do with their masters than the o m nibus drivers. Their wages we re high i n comparison with those of the servants of other tradesmen ; and they could afford to take a day's rest at the cost of a day's wages. He himself had never had an entire day's rest since he was fifteen years of age; but he knew how essential it was, and let the i men take t.—(A vo i ce , " Th ey must pay for it. ) Yes, they could afford it well enough; be knew that on on e roadthey had been making three guineas a week in th e summer. The Rev. G. Ftet, in seconding the resolution, said be had met with several eases in his pastoral charge of omnibus i servants who su ff ered extremely from their necessarily .rregular. hours and habits, which destroyed digest ion an d impaired the whole system. He deprecated any angry feelings, and trusted they would have the co - operation of the proprietors generally. The Rev. Dr. Bnaris though t it w ou ld h ave b een better if the clergy of the d i st• rict had first had an in terview with the omnibus p ro prietors. He believed no one could deny that the drivers and stablemen worked on the average fifteen hours a day. He knew that some of them had not more than six or seven minutes for dinner, and not above half a n h our i n th e whole day. But the mo st ser ious part of the case was that their duties were q u it e as heavy on the Sun day as on any other day, and with the stablemen more so.—(Hear.) Altogether there were 11,000 of these persons. Mr. EDMUNDS_—Nef no. Four thousand is the outside. That is one of the m isrepresentations we complain of. Dr. BURNS contended that the principle was th e same, whatever the numbers might be. The men ought at least to be treated as well as the horses they drove.—(Hear, hear.) secretaa y Mr. J. SCULLY, t h e of the association, said he could positively state that since the last meeting at Islington, at leas , t , twenty of Mrs. Wil son ' s omnibuses, the " Favorites, rested on the Sunday, thus setting at liberty mo re than sixty men. Mr. EDMUNDS persisted, that ther e h a d b een no re cent alteration. Wilson s omnibuses had never run the whole of the Sunday ; and some of the Paddington omnibuses did the same. Mr. SCULLY said that di▪ d not alter the fact as to the others. Notwithstanding Mr. Edmunds' state ment about the number of men being only 4,000, he knew that there were between 9,000 and 10,000 licensed men on the books at Scotland-yard.—(Hear.) The resolution was then put and agreed to. Sir HARRY GORING, Bart., expressed a hope that not only all the omnibuses, but gentlemen's carriages, would be stopped from running on the Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Molineux and other speakers fol lowed, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the Reverend Chairman. R T :P m U ov ß em L e l nt C o A f . reaction o n • REPUBLICANISM NlaNpolEeonUßis EUROPE. (From f oni the th s e pir N it e o w f larger scale continuation (F o r —a reaction produced in France and generated in Europe by the ignorance, folly, violence, and want of skill in the originators and promoters of the various revolutions of 1848. Throughout the Continent So cialism, irreligion, violence, and folly, which marked the revolutions of 1848 and 1849, have ruined the cause of well regulated liberty all over Europe, for at least some years to come. Louis Napoleon has, no doubt, violated the constitution and the laws of France in his coup d'etat; but all revolutions are vio lations of existing laws and constitutions, and he may assume the same ground of necessity and expediency for the course he has pursued, as Ledru Rollin and Lamartine did when they assumed, without authority or warrant, the supreme government of France, which they held but a few short months, in consequence of their want of talent and fitness for their purposes. Republicanism in France and Europe, for some years to come, has been ruined by the ignorance and inefficiency f such men as Lamartine and Ledru Rollin, who did not know how to conduct the great movement when they had it entirely under their con troul, and in their own hands. Yet we do not alto gether despair of France or Egrope for all time •to come.' they must run another cycle of ten or fifteen years under imperial rule, or what will be the next thing to it, before another generation can be taught talent, religion, intelligence, and morality, capable of carrying true Republican government into operation. With all the intelligence and philosophy possessed by France, the people of that country seem to be, from their previous habits and religious notions of a thousand years, unfit for Republican government conducted on the plan of checks and balances, as we understand it in the United States, or as it is under stood even in England and other Protestant countries. None of the southern countries of Europe—Spain, France, Italy, Austria, nor even Hungary, can be capable, for a long time to come, of establishing Re publican self-government on the principle of checks and balances—freedom of the press and of thought— as we enjoy it in this country, or even as it exists in England. If a republic were established in England and in the countries of the north of Europe to morrow—in Holland, Prussia, Denmark, and Sweden —the people of these countries, from the habits of thought and self-reflection which the Protestant re ligion gives them, would be at once capable of self government, as they have shown themselves to be capable of self-intelligence and self-dependence in the concerns of religion. [PRICE SD. THE MANCHESTER PUBLIC SCHOOL ASSOCIATION. tolaMil in troduce . DEPUTATION TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. Yesterday at one o'clock a deputation of gentlemen interested in the principles of the Manchester School Association had an interview, by appointment, with Lord John Russell, at his official residence in Downing -street. The deputation was composed of Mr. Milner Gibson, M.P., Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P., Mr. Thomas Baxley, Presi dent of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce; Mr. W. Rayner Wood, deputy-lieutenant of the county of Lan caster; the Rev. W. Walker, M.A., incumbent of St. James's, Oldham; the Rev. S.

Gipson, to his Lordship the deputation of gentlemen who represented an association called the National Pub lic School Association, which was composed of indivi duals belonging to almost every religions denomination in the country, who had associated themselves together for as purpose of promoting a better system and more efficient plan of national instruction, the object being to carry a measure through Parliament, if possible, with the view of establishing common schools in which a portion of education should be given, that portion being secular instruction. He believed there were in th e room — tifvergl ministers of religioh connected with various denominations, and he thought the society was composed of persons of influence representing nearly all the different religious denominations. He would not go into the details of the plan, because several of the gentlemen present would address his Lordship on those topics; but he would merely say it was not a compulsory system. It was merely to enable the ratepayers, if so minded, to have the power by rating themselves of contributing to the burden of sup porting those common schools, rather than leave them to be supported by the voluntary subscriptions of a few. That was a principle which had been already applied to the support of museums and institutions of that kind, which were rather germane to this question. Many of them were maintained by the public rates; so far, there fore, as that went there was no great novelty in the plan. The ratepayers would have the power of resisting the adoption of the measure, if a majority of them in any district were desirous of so doing. The gentlemen who represented this association were anxious to bring their plan under the consideration of the Government, and they hoped that the Government would give it a favour able reception, seeing that it had met with such very general support from the members of all religious deno minations, and was recommended by a very num erous l y signed petition. He believed the measure was found e d on the principle of justice to all persons, excluding, as it did, none from the benefits it proposed to confer in the form of secular instruction. Mr. BAILEY, president of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, said eieoodn h f E a aspttpaoibllaylosir Established egwth t hehn h eoed e , 0 al popular country was universally in favour of general education. The intelligent classes on every hand in Manchester were in favour of education becoming as universal as possible; and it also fortunately happened that a large majority of them believed that the best plan that could be adopted for facilitating the great object of education would be through the medium of a municipal, borough, or parish rate, applying a fund so raised to the support of such portion of education as could be received indifferently by all. Though they (the deputation) had associated for the purpose of establishing secular instruction, they were by no means indifferent to the religious instruction of the rising generation; but, at the same time, they did not think it was the business of the schoolmaster to be come a religious teacher. They thought, on the con trary, taking into account the division between the various religious bodies throughout the country, that if there could be a system under whieh a schoolmaster could give secular instruction to the ignorant, leaving religious knowledge to be supplied by the ministers of religion, the happiest results would ensue ; and as in this country religious instruction was amply provided for, they were of opinion that provision should be equally made for the dissemination of secular know ledge, which was so requisite for the guidance of the people, especially in this age when it was in the highest degree desirable that the ignorant should be able to understand the laws they were called on to obey, and to become in all respects useful members of society. The association, of which he was a member, did not propose to convey instruction in a way which would bo offensive to the re li gious principles or scruples of any party, nor to interfere with the religious teaching of any body of professing Christian!, or even of the members ot the Jewish persuasion; but they said to religious teachers of all denominations, '. De your duty, and permit us to do a duty which is evidently incumbent on some one to perform in a country wh,re such a lamentable amount ot ignorance prevails." The Legislature had provided a system ot education which bad been of immense benefit to the poor creatures in manufacturing districts. The little girls under it had not only been taught reading and writing, but the equally important accomplishments of knitting and sewing, which had been productive of immense advantages to those who had sought employment in the manufac tories. The boys, too, by means of the education they received, were able to undertake the performance of much superior duties in these establishments than formerly. But that system had not proved adequate to the necessities of the case, and they therefore hoped that his Lordship, whom they knew to be the friend of edu cation, would give some attention to the subject, with the view of proposing to the country a comprehensive scheme of education. Though he had a draft of a Bill which he wished to put into the hands of his Lordship, the details were by no means so perfect as they could wish. They preferred, however, dwelling on.the prin ciple they were desirous of initiating, and would be thankful it the Government would take the subject into consideration, and propose some great measure which might be satisfactory to all parties. In Lancashire, in particular, it was satisfactory for them to find that the largest ratepayers approved of the scheme to which he :waphniicsheacothne now called the attention of his Lordship, whilst various classes in the community looked with great favour on the proposition ; and the deputies looked forward to the time when a united effort would be made which would result in a scheme of education being propounded on some prinCiple which, whilst it did not invade the reli gions scruples of any body, would give all classes an amount ot instruction by which they might be able to conduct themselves as rational and e ffi cient members of society, and do good to themselves and their common country. The Bev. W. M'KERRoIr said that Mr. Bszley had stated that their scheme was a secular one, but it was not on that account hostile to religion; on the contrary, they thought it was well fitted to promote the interests religious of religion. It recognised the teaching at any parti cular edient to Jews , b p : a i l re n tn n i g iuo ° lu l asr n dt erroneous.:o l b a i j n s e t s d o he t ..i. la e time, and in a way that might seem re association lo ve to one another Divine Being, the love of him and the e tit teacher, uted tne p or practical ithoseeal part great of re i moral igi p r inciples ei).

They did not think there would be any lack of religious instruction if that scheme of theirs was carried into execution; they thought the zeal which would be manifested among professing Christians and ministers of the Gospel would do much to supply the deficiency of their schools in that respect. Mr. W. F. HOYLAND, a member of the Society of Friends, said he had much pleasure in having that op portunity of stating very briefly to his Lordship, on behalf of the Society of Friends in Manchester, that they took a deep interest in this important question. They would rejoice to see the benefits of a sound and liberal education diffused as widely as possible throughout the community, more especially among the ignorant and destitute classes. Entertaining those views they had taken some pains in investigating the two schemes brought before the public. With regard to the national scheme, they did not observe anything in its clauses ad verse to religious liberty, or that would interfere with the rights of conscience, nor anything in its provisions to which they could conscientiously object; but they would feel a very strong objection to any system iu which religious instruction was paid for out of a public rate. Tho opinions, however, of their body were so well known on that point that he would not enlarge upon it. In Friend; e lusion he might observe that the Society a . of Er°Jo in Manchester had thought it right to i ssue which cement relative to one of the educational p lans, he should be happy to present to his Lordship as more fully explanatory of their views respecting it. 'T...:',ttrtt Nbttton GERMANY. The Berlin Ministerial journal of the 4th inst. publishes the provisions of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between Prussia and Holland, the conclusion of which was some time since announced. The chief points gained by Prussia are a reduction of the tolls levied on the Lower Rhine and its navigable tributaries. The droit fixe on the Lower Rhine, and all the duties on the Mass and Yssel, are abolished. The pilot dues in Holland are reduced one•half ; for the transit through Holland and to Belgium the reduced rate of tolls, after the abolition of the droit fixe, will alone be levied. Prussia assures to Holland a continuance of the advantages it had obtained by former treaties. Traffic will be facilitated by the loss of time in unloading and weighing goods being no longer necessary. The transit cargoes will be sealed and accompanied by a Custom-house official. Holland and the Zollverein accord each other, for their respective produce, the advantages allowed, or that may be allowed, by them to the most favoured nations with whom they have commercial' treaties. Thus the wines of the Zollverein will be admitted into Holland on the same terms as those of France. A variety of articles of German manufacture are al lowed to be exported to the Dutch East Indian pos sessions on the most favourable terms of the colonial tariff, or at about half the general rates; among them are woods, drugs, soap, Nuremberg toys, electro plated goods, watches from the Black Forest, leather, fancy goods, velvets, and mineral waters. FATAL AFFAIR WITH THE NEGROES AT LAGOS. At the moment that the -- Screw Company's Cape Mail packet Harbinger was leaving Sierra Leone for England, on the 17th December, her Majesty's screw ship Niger, 14, Commander Heath, arrived from Lagos, and boarded her, with dispatches from Com modore Bruce for England. These dispatches, it was un d e r s t oo d, contain o ffi cial information to the Admiralty of a desperate and fatal fight with the negroes at Lagos by the Niger ship's company ; in which affair Messrs. Dyer and Hall, mates of the Niger, were killed, and nine men were also killed and wounded. It appears that for some time there has been a dis play of some very ill feeling between those on the coast who are desirous of suppressing slavery, and a party whose " occupation has gone" by the activity of the cruisers in putting down the slave trade. The former party have been zealous in their endeavours to prevent the latter from bringing slaves from the in terior to the coast market ; and the slavers, on the other hand, have attempted by every means to coerce our friends, until at length they have come to blows. The Niger, cruising on the coast, determined on a demonstration against the blacks, landed her boats to protect our allies and to drive off their enemies, when a bloody encounter ensued, and the seamen and marines of the Niger, being overpowered by numbers, were obliged to retreat, fighting their way to their boats, with the disastrous casualties above reported. The commander-in-chief, Commodore Bruce, in the Penelope, 16, steam-frigate ; Captain Lyster, with the Seulark, 8, and one or two other men-of-war, ar rived off Lagos, from Ascension, after the fight, and remaining there, dispatched the Niger to Sierra Leone, to complete provisions, and to take down a detachment of the West India regiment, when it was expected the commodore would commence active operations against the slave-dealing wretches, and, it is hoped, will inflict upon them such a chas tisement as shall avenge the -deaths of the gallant officers and seamen of the Niger, and shall finally put a finishing stroke to slave dealing in that quarter of the coast. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDI TION AND LIEUTENANT I'IM. TO THE EDITOR OF TIME TIMES, Sir ! —Although I have during the last fortnight re ceived letters from Lieutenant Pim, dated St. Peters burgh, informing me that ho had been most kindly re ceived by all the Russian authorities to whom he had been addressed, and that be had been most zealously aided by her Majesty's Minister, Sir Hamilton Sey mour, I desisted from alluding to a subject in which decisiveman of s y te e p Ur h r a e d ad b e e r e s e aretak taken deeply e i s n p t e e e r t e interested d t h e until beld sem pro posal of the young British officer. His object was to traverse Siberia to its north-eastern extremity, and thence to endeavour to reach the mountainous lands far to the north of Bebring's Strait, beyond which it was conjectured that Franklin and his companions might be frozen up. Lieutenant Pim had already informed me that the Russian geographers, and particularly the explorers of Northern Siberia, with whom he had been put into communication, were opposed to a plan which, from their experience and acquaintance with the condition of the regions to be travel led over, they looked upon as impracticable but that he still hoped to overcome all objections, and to have it in his power to risk his life in the good cause. I have now, however, received distinct information through his Excellency Baron de Brunnow, that the Imperial Government, after having taken the most lively interest in this as in every former effort to rescue the missing expedition, had satisfied itself, on the unanimous report of the persons who had Most studied the subject, that the execution of the plan which the noble and courageous devotion of Lieutenant Pim had led him to conceive, was oppos e d by insurmountable obstacles. these circumstanc E s, the Emperor could not con sent Under to allow the life of a British officer to be perilled in placedav n a i d ; m b o. u u t r Middendorft c h o a u t n s t t r il y l, ra b eingain the desirous of doing everything which might be possible , the Imperial Government had Zembla, the other of Nor the r nineeee at communication nhde E explo rer a Easter n r w n i w ith Siberia—ine M.

" Really," he whined, the moment he was placed at the bar, "it is enough to make me shed every tear I have, to see myself between two gendarmes for having made a mistake about a hat!" " A mistake !" said the President, ".that remains to be seen." "It was an error, impartial President, a simple error, and I submit it to your equitable justice and your lofty wisdom." A stout gentleman deposed that, when he was playing at dominoes at a café on the 29th Nov., the prisoner walked off with his hat; and he said that he could not have mistaken it for his own as he car ried it in his hand. " That was because I was too hot!" " Too hot on the 29th Nov.! No—but the real reason was that it was too big for you."—" I was tormented with domestic anxiety," said the prisoner, " and took the hat without knowing what I did."—" But it seems that you are a regular hat stealer, as not fewer than forty-seven hats were found at your lodgings!"—"That proves, President, that I had no need to take the hat of this gentleman. And the fact is that those hats were not stolen, but were purchased by me. I have a passion for hats, as other people have for horses, or other things. But a friend of mine, who formerly lent me money, is now ready to lend me his oath, to prove to you that ho has confidence in me, and that will satisfy you that I couldn't have stolen the hat." The witness swore solemnly to the good character of the accused, but the tribunal, nevertheless, condemned him to thirteen months' imprisonment.— Galignani. PUNCH'S THEATRE. On Monday night an " Original Dramatic Sketch," by Mr. Charles Selby, indited for the purpose of re introducing Mrs. Charles Selby, after an absence of eight years, was successfully produced here. The piece is neatly written, and bas many allusions to the principal actress, exculpatory of the attacks which time makes upon slim figures, turning graceful girls into very stout dowagers. Mrs. Selby formerly played the elderly parts, such as Mrs. C. Jones for so many years shone in, but in the present instance the matronly has been doubled with a touch of the fast lady, such as Vestris and Nisbet have so long held a monopoly in ; and a descriptive song of a march, sudden attack, and victory, are sung by• the Indian widow. The manner and style, though not so re fined as we have seen, were not without point and effect, and the entire absence of voice was made up by emphasis and acting. The plot of the piece is extremely simple. Mr. Tin der torment l y of fmmh i iniss Timmins (Mr. o w n ß i ) f . a (Missßomer)n more m is l ip sa kr a eti)y rue, particularly a i a r r n e l d d citizen of a v er y petulent nature, who is the terror and his daughter Mr. Brown Jones, " a gentleman from a fashion able linendraper's shop," who is dolorously and madly in love with the daughter. The curtain rises with Mr. Timmins in a great state of pertur bation, in anxious expectation of his " sister from India,' Mrs. General Hydrabad, the " military lady," enacted by Mrs. Selby. When she arrives the Indian temperament breaks out, and the eastern hurricane quite overpowers the petty tempest raised by Mr. Timmins. The dinner, the sleeping, the entire arrangements are all wrong. The Asiatic servants light a fire in the area, so that the engines are called, and a mob beset the house, and the tumult is only subdued by the lavish liberality of the lady, who is herself restored to good temper by the visit of two distinguished Anglo- Indians, Sir Bangalore Bungalow, admirably burlesqued by Mr. Hudspeth, and Colonel Howitzer very characteristically made up by Mr. W. Attwood. Restored to her usual complacency, the military lady, after singing the elaborte and charac teristic song descriptive of a battle and victory, we have already alluded to, provides for her brother's fa mily, and particularly for the disconsolate lovers, and then bestows herself on her old sweetheart, the " Bengal Salamander," Colonel Howitzer. The piece was well received throughout, and is sufficiently lively and characteristic to deserve the success it achieved. Mr. Rogers, as the Count of the Counter, with cravat and coat of the finest fashion, and an utter disregard of his pronunciation and grammar, threw a great deal of character and fun into the delineation, and marked it with a completeness of conception, et shows be has a right appreciation of his art. It was by far the most artistic personation in the piece. His avoidance of vulgar sayings by a periphrastic form of speech was very funny ; for instance, his telling his sweet heart that " she is what houses are made of," and that everything is "right as the article on which the cook places the tea-kettle," with several of the like sort, produced a great deal of mirth. Altogether the piece may be said to be well contrived and constructed, and elicited very genuine applause, both in the course of its acting and at the conclusion. U w ß as T the Ci on it ly CU L AR.
