Unquestionably about the most popular of all the Ministerial appointments made by the Earl of DERBY in the process of constructing his Administration, was that by which the Admiralty Board was announced to be presided over by his Grace the Duke of NORTHUM BERLAND. From the outset we asserted as much, and every month that has elapsed since the formation of tha existing Cabinet has only tended the more en tirely to convince us of the accuracy of our first im pression. It was simply natural, indeed, that the Royal Navy of England should be presided over by one of the officers in that profession. As natural as it must always be, of course, for the soldiers of Great Britain to look for a General or a Field-Marshal in the responsible office of Commander•in-Chief. Yet, such being indisputably the case, we have had the chagrin of beholding the affairs of the maritime service of the United Kingdom entrusted to the guidance —not of a sea-captain, but of a civilian ! A gentleman in black—mind ! with the libel Act before us we don't say, expressly the gentleman in black, but a gentleman in black—instead of a gentle man in blue, has been authorised to exercise supreme authority over the whole of the naval system in—of all countries in the wide world—England. Even upon gala days the disgrace thus reflected upon the most national of our warlike professions was but slightly shrouded from observation. Then, if no mere gentlem an in black paraded in the midst of a glittering group of veteran flag-officers—it was s imply because " the presiding genius of the place" was transformed for th e , onceinto a Right Honour able Administrator, bediztned in the Windsor uni form ! Happily things", ne _ w-a-day s not so managed. Since the DERBY Ministry was gazetted in February, the naval officers of this country have had the satisfaction of bearing in remembrance the fact that one of their own number is n ow formally installed at of the Board of Admiralty—and that number," no less disti n g uished a sailor than his G race the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND. Fortunately the circumstance here referred to has proved already one fraught with no empty satisfae.. tion. Already within the last six or seven months, namely, ever since the Earl of DERBY and his col leagues were inducted into the localities renowned as the favourite abode of power in Westminster, being, in fact, removed to Downing-street just as the pre ceding Ministry were settling uncomfortably down in Queer-street—we have found repeated cause to con gratulate the nation at large upon the restoration of the original order of things in regard to the system of maritime organization. Several " crying abuses" have in this manner been already effectually removed. Several acts of justice have, in a manner equally prompt and praiseworthy, been Performed. Descending to more minute particulars - "the shameful indifference displayed in reference to the incomplet e s t a t e o f the Nelso n Testimonial in i • raai sme - square—one of the most melancholy insterid of ( as it should have been) one of the most glorious sights in the metropolis—has been anything but emulated by the Board of Admiralty, now that it is presided over by a sailor as devoted to his profession as his Grace the D uke of NORTHUMBERLAND. Pre parations it will have been remarked by all those who have recently beenin front of the National Gallery h a ve been some time auhl • eg for affi x ing the l as t br o nze to the pedestal—th at commemorative of the earliest victory gained brionr immortal hero, which hePurchased a n may be said to ha ve Earldom for his comman din g hero that by officer by hismem Vincent,orDabolees an dis obedience of orders off Cape St. Nis y one bear in recollection poor TOII grotesque little woodcut of NELSON'S statue on the s ummit of that unfortunate column in Trafalgar-square the imperial eagle of Russia perched upon the cock e d hat, holding in it s (the eagle's not the cocked hat' s ) claw a purse of five-hundred sovereigns, and under neath—. " There are more things 'twist Heaven and Earth, Horatio, Than Were dreamt of in your philosophy." Unluckily the disgrace cast upon the nation by that miserable 5 001, cannot be so very readily e ffaced. Insomuch, how ever, as the suppletnentary o dium of negligence in this matter of the monument is concerned, his Grace the First Lard of the Admiralty appears to be eager by every rea3on able means to remove from the national escutcheon one portion at least of this odious blot of ingratitude.

Al a a THE SUN, mon ial to its long-desired and by many long despaired of state of completion. Simultaneously with these honourable efforts to "set the finishing touch" to the principal among the national tributes to Lord NELSON, there have been making other efforts yet more honourable to compen sate to some small extent the deplorable neglect shown for forty-seven years towards one of the officers of that heroic and immortal commander. During the last few days we have had the satisfaction of referring in our naval intelligence more than once to the recent bestowal upon Lieutenant Jour" POLLARD of the lieutenant's out-pension of Greenwich. It is griev ously characteristic of the naval service of England that such should have been the tardy recompense ac corded to a brave old tar who was born as far back as 1787, and who entered the maritime profession, in which he has been so disgracefully overlooked, as early as 1797. Lieutenant POLLARD, the .signal midshipman on board the Victory at the memorable battle of Tra falgar, has thus, it will be observed, had to wait until 1852 for even a feeble recognition of his eminent claims upon the country—and this recognition bas only been accorded now that the Board of Admiralty is presided over by a distinguished brother officer like the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND. Whenever the Great Unpaid have a chance, they notoriously distinguish themselves ; at times they move us to anger by the pertinacity with which they apply themselves to the persecution and prosecution of unhappy violators of the Game Laws ; but some times, also, by way of relief—mingling comedy with tragedy—they indulge the public with a touch of the ludicrous. As a matter of course, the Great Unpaid know very little of the law; nor can they be blamed, though they may pitied, for their ignorance —save and except, indeed, that they are scarcely justified in undertaking the performance of judicial duties, without possessing a requisite knowledge of the law. On Saturday, the complaint of the Anti-Cruelty to Animals Society versus Cremorne Gardens—with which the public have been dosed, usque ad nauseum, —was brought before the Magistrates at Ilford Petty Sessions. It was then and there known (for it had been publicly announced previous to that day) that tha proprietor of the gardens had determined not to allow a repetition of anything of the sort com plained of. The Society, however, having got a po pular case, we n t i n f or th e i r " p oun d o f fl es h "—i n the shap e o f a fine or conviction. Now and then, by Way of showing that it lives, the Society niakes a grand display : we earnestly wish, that, for the sake of humanity, they would be half as vigilant as re gards the ordinary cases of cruelty to animals which are daily cccurring in the streets. They have such magnanimous sympathy for ballooned ponies and bulls, that they take them from Acton to West minster, and thence into Essex. But we never hear of their watching and prosecuting the bull biitings and bull-rushings in the classic vi cinity of Smithfield. Let then Mr. Thomas only take his stand in Snow-hill on any Friday in the year, and we promise him an abundance of cases to bring before the magistrates. This Cre morne case, however, by its notoriety, will be " meat, drink, food, and clothing" (like the ale of the Lich field Boniface) for the next twelve months. At Ilford, on Saturday, the complaint was, that Madme POITEVIN had gone up on a heifer attached to a balloon, which bad ascended from Cremorne Gar dens, of which Mr. SIMPSON is the lessee. (We may state, parenthetically, that we really have been unable to discover the interest, in any way, of pony or bull ascents. They are, to our taste, as absurd as what are magnificently called "polanderic feats.") The magistrates present, at these Petty Sessions, are said to have been Mr. W. DAVIS, Chairman ; and Messrs. G. FRY, 0. MASHITER, and M`NAUGHTEN. Mr. THOMAS, the secretary of the Society, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. PARRY, as counsel, and Mr. LEWIS, solicitor, for the defendants. At the commencement of the proceedings Mr. THOMAS said be wished to inform the magistrates that a course had been suggested by Mr. PARRY, who appeared for the defendants, which was this, that they should plead guilty, and consent to pay the full penalty of 51. each, they undertaking that in future no such exhibitions should take place at Cremorne. They also proposed to take the opinion of the magistrates as to whether Madame POITEVIN was legally liable to the penalty, as it was alleged that she was at the time acting under the direction and control of her husband. If the Bench approved of such a course, he, on the part of the prosecution, had no objection. This, which involved the great point sought by the Society (namely, the conviction), might have settled the matter, one would have thought. And so it would before a Stipendiary Magistrate who bad common sense—but not so with the Great Unpaid. They determined to make a field-day of it, to hear what the lawyers bad to say, "to confine themselves to the legal points," and to have the honour and glory of speechifying thereafter. So they heard counsel at great length, his last sentence being, " I need cite no authorities to show that it has been uniformly held that where a woman acts in concert with her husband, and in his presence, she is taken to be under his con trol, and is not in any way liable in point of law. I am grateful for your courtesy in allowing me to make this brief statement; you have given me a lati tude wich I know I could only have received from your courtesy; and I rely upon the strong feeling and sense of justice that characterise English tribu nals, that you will take into consideration not only the fact itself, but all the circumstances connected with it, and that you will be of opinion that Mr. SIMPSON was not altogether unjustified in entering into the original engagement. I will say on his be half that no man feels more, after what has been said upon this topic, than Mr. SpiPson, that he never again ought to allow, and he pledges himself per sonally that he never will allow, any ascent of animals to take place." The Chairman is said to have then delivered the following remarkable speech : " We all of us feel the deep importance of this offence, and the question was one which—l believe I can speak truly—we were all determined previously to come to a conclusion this day upon the subject. We now, is this situation, are not sitting as an ordinary tribunal—we are here as judge and jury upon a most deeply-important question regarding the welfare, and peace, and morality of this kingdom. I have no doubt, in my humble aitliat iml - -1 have n . o doubt whatever but that the eyes, not only of the E perhap s the pleasre, retire with pub/to are on us at this instant, but let us matt er ...... (se e r e s all Europe are upon this most serious I therefore shall, with the greatest the two points which brother . magistrates to consider we shall enter into first point—a n d _think have been selected. The the details understand it—is whether formation; and the next etail? of the accusation or in shall or es under point is whether, as regards the oireum control of her husband or the lady, she was not? Under these we must take care this that high feel that no decision of our s Jed (?) for many years. Therefore jog which has prevailed i n on this sub °Wuittrvirill retire and consider the subject.

And then, the exquisite finish, that " perhaps THE EYES OF ALL EUROPE are upon this most serious matter." With the exception of Justice SHALLOW and Sir R • PEEL'S " three tailors in Tooley-street, calling themselves we, the people of England,' " there never was such grandiloquence as this. " The eyes of all Europe," we assure the public, are not directed either to Essex calves or Essex magistrates ! _ • After another speech from the Chairman—thrice as wordy and six times as absurd as the above—in which he is made to say (we hope erroneously), " As a boy I was schooled in a public-house, and there were c onstantly scenes of riot and disgusting exhibitions," —each defendant was fined 51. and costs, being exactly what had been offered, in submssion, at the opening of the cased But, then, had the matter been cut short at the commencement, we should iv have bad the Chairman's " eyes of all Europe" harangue. So, he appeared as a magisterial " Sir Oracle," and said his say. It is true that he attempted to explain w hy he was diffuse and tedious. "Perhap," said he, after alluding to his own early schooling, "per haps I am extending my observations a little more t h an is needful ; but I t hi nk the case does require a little more expression of opinion on the part of gentle men lik e ay.rselves than any ordinary transaction that LONDON, TUESDAY might be brought before us. It is to •be borne in mind that the civilization of this country has proceeded upon, besides the acts I have brought before you, one of the most important acts, indeed, of the time with which you must all be familiar—l mean the humane policy that dictated the emancipation of our slaves within the last twenty-six years, and therefore everything we can do to uphold that humane conduct we are bound to do." What con nexion Negro Emancipation has with Madame POITEVIN'S heifer, we are quite unable to ascertain ; it is only " gentlemen like . OURSELVES" (i. e., like the magistrates who sit in Petty Sessions at Ilfordand have such a brilliant and oratorical chairman), who can possibly show this. Happy Ilford ! blessed with such wise and great and good Unpaid ! Take their own words for it, and they are the salt of the earth. The self-complacency of this Mr. W. DAVIS, chair man of the Ilford justices, is exquisite. Each Essex " thaw-bacon" (as COBBETT called them), who lis tened, with gaping mouth and erected ears, to the " eyes of Europe" oration, musthave departed smitten with intense admiration of " gentlemen like our selves," and chuckling over the idea that " Ilford Justices had licked Lunnon lawyers and French fur reners, any how." It must have been a glorious ex hibition —almost equal to the performance of Hamlet by the late JOHN LISTON, or that of Romeo by the living ROBERT KEELEY ! This melo-dramatic scene occurred, at Ilford, on Saturday. Yesterday, at Westminster, Mr. ARNOLD —a stipendiary magistrate who dispenses justice, knowing the law—gave his judgment on a parallel case, against the same defendants. A sensible, well reasoned, plain-spoken judgment it was. Having compared the conflicting evidence, as to whether one of two ponies who went up with a balloon (and had previously done so 150 times, without apparent hurt or harm,) was injured by the ascent,—having come to the conclusion that it was not proved " that the animal suffered either from pain or fear on this occa sion,"—having giving his opinion that the putting the animal to the risk of an accident was an act of cruelty, but not within the intention of the Act of Parliament,--and having fully and properly declared against ucb exhibitions (which will not again take place), Mr. ARNOLD considered the case as not proven and dismissed the summonses. Both judgments, that at Ilford, as well as that at Westminster, are correct, we doubt not. In one, the defendants admitted the charge, in the other they rebutted it. But the contrast be tween the way in which the judgments were given ! Mr. ARNOLD did not say that he was sitting "as judge and jury"—nor that the matter deeply involved " the welfare, the peace, nor the morality of this 'kingdom"—nor that " the eyes of Europe" were upon him,—nor did he connect the subject with that of Negro Emancipation—nor, in a word, did he go out of his way for the sake of dit.play. He did his duty es a sound lawyer and good magistrate, and, in so doing it, has made a contrast between the paid and the Great Unpaid magistrates not much in favour of the latter. The days of the Great Unpaid—" gentle men like ourselves"—ar e com i ng t o a c l o se, we hope. The great easiness of the money market, the low rate of interest, and the prospect of a continuous and abundant supply of bullion from California and Australia, have induced capitalists to look anxiously for favourable investments. Already the Three per Cents. are above par. Stock and shares of every de. d scription are at fair prices, the " quotatio ns b ei n g well supported." Under such circumstances , dearly . a b n o d ught oth e e x r speculationsteachesperienceate that ul foreign d the stream of bullio n from our shores, will be brought prominently for w ard. The moneyocracy, tempted by the promise of a higher rate of interest, or perhaps by calculated to loans, and i a v ns t , the hope of getting off the bonds or coupons at handsome premiums, will rush into such under takings, and create an excitement, that will speedily be carried to the utmost degree of intensity. The money, which retained at home, would afford ample employment to the industrious classes and ensure remunerative wages to every man able and willing to work, will be sent out of the country, not only being rendered of no practical utility, but be coming almost mischievous, through the spirit of gambling excited. It is therefore highly desirable that Euglish money should be invested in English securities, or in speculations to be carried out in the British dominions—whether in the mother country or in the colonies is of little importance. Among the most important of these securities, to which we would once more direct attention are the shares in the different railway lines, many of which have recovered from the undue depreciation under which they were so long labouring, and afford as safe in vestments as any that can be named at the present moment. We believe that the dividends of the great trunk lines have seen their lowest points, and that while prospectively there may be an increase, there is but little, if any, danger of a reduction from present rates. But still there is a sort of vague and undefined fear that prevents parties from retaining their invest ments, even if they should have made them on advantageous terms. They become anxious to realise their profits, and sell out in order to do so, not reflecting that such favourable opportunities may not again arise. Nothing ,but full information as to the position and prospects of the several undertakings will remove this erroneous impression, and convince capitalists of the propriety of seeking permanent in vestments in the stock of the great railway companies. The dissection of the railway balance-sheets for the second half of the year 1850, for 1851, and the first half of 1852, which has just been put forward by Mr. WADESON, of the Stock Exchange, contains much sound practical in formation, and will be found well worthy of perusal. It gives, in a condensed form, in a single sheet, 01l that ought to be known respecting the principal companies for each of the four last half-years —the average number of miles open—the gross re ceipts and the traffic receipts—the working charges (including taxation and Government duty)—the pre ferential charges, whether as loans, guarantees, or otherwise—the reserve, depreciation, or renewal fund —the total receipts and disbursements—the balance applicable to dividend—the dividend paid and ba lance carried—the maintenance of the way and stations, and the general locomotive work, showing the per-tentage of working expenses on traffic receipts. The synoptical view thus afforded, and the oppor tunity for comparison thereby allowed, will at once satisfy the inquirer of the soundness of these great concerns. The year 1851, of course, constituted an excep tional period. The extraordinary traffic occasioned by the Great Exhibition produced a vast increase in the receipts when compared with the corresponding portions of preceding years ; and it is no ordinary praise to say that there is little, if any, falling off, but that in almost every instance the high position assumed in 1851 has been fully maintained. We commend then railway stock to those seeking safe investments, and Mr. WADESON'S dissection of the several balance-sheets as a trustworthy guide to the value of that stock. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The market closed firmly, and, as compared with Friday's rates, prices of the lower qualities have recovered the decline of id. per lb. The sales included 100 Bahia, at sid. to 6-kd. ; 500 Egyptian, at 6d. to 10d. ; and 800 Surat, at 3/d. to 44d. per lb.—Railway Shares were very dull, without any material change in prices. The Stock Markets are generally heavy this morning from the want of business. The absence of so great a portion of the members of the Stock Exchange, and of the public for the shooting season, is the cause of the existing dulness. The s bonsol Market is flat at a further fall of i f per cent. in prices, whilst the dealings are limited, and for the most part composed of sales on account of private individuals. The present quotation is 99t to for Money, and 99 to 100 for Account. The unfunded Securities remain unaltered. The March Bills are 725. to 755. premium, and those dated in June last are 675. to 70s. premium. India Bonds 84s. premium. The Foreign Securities aro more or less flat, at a de cline in quotations. Peruvian Deferred Bonds are per cent. lower than yesterday. Sardinian are also not quite so good, and on the Turkish Loan sales have been pressed forward rather eagerly to-day, and the premium has in consequence receded to 10i to 1. Portuguese and Spanish Securities, however, keep steady. Austrian Scrip has r ece ded fully per cent. In other Stocks there is no alteration deserving of special notice, and the amount of business doing is very moderate. Chilian are quoted 1051 to 107, and Grenada Deferred 121. Mexican are quiet at 25k. Spanish New Deferred are 23k. Dutch Two-and-a-Ralf per Cents. have risen to 654. In Gold Mining Snares there is very little doing, and Noveau Monde are weaker. The Railway Share Market is very dull, and a fall of I to t per cent. has taken place upon the principal lines. French Shares are also lower. QUARTER TO THREE. Consols 991 Ditto Account.

This elegant theatre opens for the season on Sa turday next. The entertainments announced are, a new petite comedy by Mr. Boucicault, in which Mr. Walter Lacy will make his first appearance under Mr. Kean's management. Mr. Lacy will also un dertake the role of Chateau Renard in the ever popular romantic drama of the Corsican Brothers, Mr. Charles Kean, of course, sustaining his celebrated characters of the Dei Franchi. That admirable farce, A Roland for an Oliver, is to be revived on Saturday evening, the part , of Maria Darlington being committed to that very talented and charming artiste, Miss Carlotta Le Clercq. In the opening comedy, Miss Heath, a lady of whom report speaks favourably, makes her debut on the public stage. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. All the admirers of national music, taken in a cos• mopolitan sense, ought to pay a visit to St. James's Theatre. The airs and melodies of the Tyrolese mountains, the cebrated " Jedel" of the Zillerthal, and the national instrument not only of Tyrol, but of the Bohemian Alps, the " zither," may be heard there to perfection. The company of Tyrolese singers now performing at St. James's Theatre, for a limited period only, are old friends of the English public; on their appearance they were greeted with a friendly round of welcome. The " Hunter's Echo in the Fo rest," and the " Laughing Chorus," were encored, and each individual performance gave the highest satisfaction; the perfect manner in which they keep time together, blending their voices in one har mony, is admirable. Herr Veit Rabin's per formance on the zither is deserving of special notice. The zither is a member of the guitar family —the only difference being that it is laid flat upon the table, is consequently somewhat different in shape, and has sixteen strings instead of four or five. This instrument in the Bavarian and Bohemian mountains, or rather in the valleys they encircle, as well as in those of Styria and Tyrol, is the favourite instrument of the villagers. It may claim as old an ancestry as the harp of Erin, the bagpipes of Scotland, the violin of Italy, or the guitar of Spain. Its tones are wiry and wild, but in the hands of a skilful performer, a good zither is capable of giving forth the softest sounds. Sufficient proof of this was given last night by Herr Veit Rahn), who, in his performance of "The Evening Bells," elicited tones as soft as those of the most delicately fingered harp, and notes as clear as his own mountain rills. An Irish air, sung by Herr Ratner, by desire, gave great satisfaction to the audi ence. We do not doubt that at the present moment this novel entertainment will prove most attractive. CREMORNE GARDENS. THE THIRD SAFE PARACHUTE DESCENT BY MADAME POITEVIN, AND ASCENT OF THE LARGEST BALLOON EVER CONSTRUCTED. The name of Poitevin has been brought before the public rather invidiously during the past week, at all events it now stands pre-eminent in the annals of aeronautics; for not only has M. Poitevin produced the largest and the handsomest balloon in the world, but he has also rendered easy and safe that which has hitherto been considered difficult, indeed, impossible and dangerous. The inflation of this immense machine (which requires only the ball and cross to render it a very correct representation of the dome of St. Paul's) commenced at half-past seven o'clock on Sunday morning, and at five o'clock last evening had taken about 120,000 feet of gas. Some idea may be formed of its extraordinary ascending power when it is known that, in addition to the aid of 40 men, it requires nearly two tons of sand, distributed through 200 bags, to prevent its ascent till the ap pointed time, which was to have been six o'clock, but owing to the number of gentlemen anxious to accompany the adventurous and scientific proprietor, and the difficulty of making the English assistants understand the French directions, the ascent did not take place till half an hour after that time, which, it must be admitted, was a trial to the patience of the immense number of spectators assembled, but when it did take place the simultaneous burst of applause from the assembled thousands, the cheers, waving of banners, and distribution of bouquets from the aris tocratic party who had purchased their transit to the clouds,, marked the gratification they one and all entertained of the grandeur and splen dour of the ascent. In about five minutes the parachute began to expand, another mi nute passed and the elegant little machine was seen gradually descending, followed for some time by its immense partner, no doubt managed by M. Poitevin to give his party a good opportunity of watching the descent, till, without oscillation or apparent risk, it landed its intrepid occupant in a garden in the neigh bourhood of Clapham-common, from whence she was driven through cheering multitudes back to the gar dens, to receive upon her presentation at the theatre, within forty minutes, the warmest welcome. The party of twenty-five ladies and gentlemen who occupied the car descended in safety in the grounds of Mr. Good. child, of Beckenham, and made their appearance at the gardens by ten o'clock, and testified in very warm terms the delight they had experienced in their trip, and the high sense they entertained of the superior aeronautic knowledge and talent .of M. Poitevin. The next ascent will take place on Thursday. The gardens were densely crowded. LECTURE ON SHAKSPERE. Last evening a lecture was delivered by Madame Steinberg, on the Genius of Shakspere, in the theatre attached to the Western Literary Institution in Leicester-square. The subject being one which has almost been exhausted by writers, as well as lecturers, the lady attracted but a small audience, though her merits are of no mean order, and certainly deserved a little more encouragement. Her language is ele gant, perspicuous, and scrupulously correct, and her mode of delivery easy and emphatic. One great fault, however, she had, if in a lady it can be properly so termed. She is a little too much inclined to hero worship. Shakspere is her idol, and all who vesture to insinuate an imperfection in his works or his life are actuated by spleen, jealousy, or vindictiveness. Throughout his whole productions there is not a blemish, error, or defect—they may be read by all with profit and by the most innocent maiden without a blush. Where others find the poet at fault she discovers a beauty, and from every ob scure sentence or expression she evolves a wide stream of light. According, in fact, to her definition, he is not only the paragon of poets, but an imperishable and perfect model of truth, morality, and wisdom. Of course, none dispute the genius of our im mortal bard, but there is a limit beyond which praise defeats its own purpose as well as de traction. A great porti on o f t h e l ecture consisted of a refutation of an article recently published in Chambers's Journal, in which it was stated that Shakspere was not th e au th or o f the plays passing under his name, but that they were the production of some poor half-starved student from a foreign country, I who was kept locked up by Shakspere, and the emanations from whose transcendent intellect he ap propriated to himself. The fair lecturer was mightily indignant at so sweeping an accusation, but the ap pearance of a solitary article of this description, when anything in the shape of novelty is so eagerly seized upon, was scarcely of sufficient importance to justify so lengthened a reference to it before a public audience, especially as the authorship has rem ained undisputed for more than two centuries. --- EDUCATION IN DRAWING.—The Committee of Privy Council for Education have recently issued circulars to the inspectors of schools directing them to aid, by every means in their power, the system proposed by the Depart ment of Practical Art for causing elementary drawing to become a part of national education. It is intended to teach the very simplest elements of drawing in all schools willing to bear a small proportion of the necessary expense, and then admit the qualified scholars to study in a central draw ing school in every town. The importance of the new scheme thus set on foot will be fully appreciated when it is remembered that until the public ignorance in such matters is removed no expensive or successful effort cau l:li b: sou (l made lAroNn t D o s raise the standard of taste in desi g n amoun g our manufac turers. — Times. t urers.
