SALTPETRE.—To -day a fair business was concluded privately, but at auction 400 bags were mostly taken in, Calcatta at 25s to 253 6d for 15i to .1 per cent re fraction. Mr. Brownlie's carters, who found them all in a state of intoxication. Strac ban and Lyle were lying in bed, scarcely able to articulate a single word, while a second bed in the same apartment was occupied by the woman, Watson, and Strachan's eldest daughter, a girl about 20 years of age. How the party spent the rest of the day and evening it is impossible to tell, for nothing more was heard of them till 2 o'clock on Friday morning, when. Dr. Smith, of Paisley-road, was aroused from sleep by Neil Strachan, who told him there was a woman 'either dying or dead in his house. Dr. Smith immediately hastened thither, and found the lifelesn body of Margaret Lyle lying on a bed mangled in the dreadful manner we have described. The police having been called in, Strachan was taken into custody; his daughter, Christina Strachan, was subsequently apprehended, along with her brother Neil and the man Watson ; the unknown woman is still at large. Spots of blood were discovered on the floor, on the walls, on various pieces fof furniture, and on the clothes of the elder Strachan. The plaster of the wall near the spot where the body was lying was knocked off in several places, and the wall itself was indented, as if by a weighty instrument, showing that a severe struggle had occurred. On searching the house further, the police found a poker, marked with blood, with which there can be no doubt the murder was perpetrated. Various other indications were disco vered, all tending to show that a terrible crime had been committed; but the frightful spectacle pre sented by the body itself was sufficient to prove that the unfortunate woman bad been deprived of life by an almost unprecedented degree of violence. The prisoners were examined on Friday, before the authorities of Renfrewshire. We understand that young Strachan, his sister, and Watson denied having any knowledge of the manner or cause of the death of Margaret Lyle, and declared that when they left the house some time on Thursday evening, she was lying in bed in a beastly state of intoxication. The statement of Neil Strachan, the father, was that he sat drinking with his friends until he became uncon scious ; that in this state he was put to bed ; that he did not recover till the middle of the night ; that he then felt Margaret Lyle lying beside him; that he found she was dying, and got up to afford her every assistance in his power ; that he endeavoured to pour some whisky down her throat, but finding that im possible, immediately proceeded for medical assistance leaving the dying woman alone in the house. We have seen that when he returned with Dr. Smith the woman was dead, but it has not yet been stated that, on examining the body, the doctor ascertained that parts of it had been recently washed, or that the floor of the apartment was flooded with water, exciting the suspicion that an attempt bad been made to obliterate the traces of murder.

Mr. AL GIBsoN, M.P., said he had the honour to in troduce to his Lordship the deputation of gentlemen who represented an association called the National Pub lic School Association, which was composed of indivi duals. belongin g t o almost every religions denomination in the country, who had associated themselves together for the 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 the room several ministers of religion connected with various denominations, and he thought the society was composed of persons of influence representi ng near l y all the different religious denominations. He would not go into the details of the plan, because several o o n f t t h h e os g e en to tl p e i m cs e ; n the rating ratepayers, themselves i f ofbp ur o t es h enet o t o would woult d address his hsiasyLoit wasrdship not a compulsory system. It was merely to enable those common schools, rather than leave them to be supported by the vol un t ar y su b scr ipti ons o f a few. scontributing minded,h the ave burden d e power by sup porting the support of m useums an d „ i nst it ut i ons o f t h at 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 wo u ld g i ve 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 numerously signed petition. He believed th e measure was founded 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. _ R OYAL MARIONETTE THEATRE, ADELAIDE-STREET, WEST STRAND.

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 country 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 gratification 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 the 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 wills the most substantial proof that they are giving expression to the se ,- ti 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 rem,ved ; 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, end its prices, below 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 commands 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 from school to spend their holida3 s, 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—Faanion, Durability, and Cheapness. Nor have they neglected to provide for the Year 1852 every Article in the Outfitting Department. Furs, the last im ported from the far-famed hunting staticns, 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 Minories, or New Oxford-street, corner of llart-street, will convey some idea of their dcrermination in reference to the year 1852. No sacrifice of time, talent, or money, will be considered, No exertions 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 deportrnents 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 accoant 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 bidding 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, tini vers illy acknowledged as the cheapest, most talented, and unrivalled Clothiers, Tailors, Outfitters, and Merchants in the World.

Export of wheat from the East coast to Belgium still continues, and in the absence of counterbalancing imports this must sooner or later tell on the value of the article. We had a good show of farmers' wheat at market to-day, and which being iin dry condition met very free sale at fully is per qr more money than the rates current last week; orders for Bel gium, very fairly limited, were returned unexccuted. More inquiry for foreign, and any fresh arrivals would meet fair sale, but granaried parcels are mostly with drawn from the market.

(From the London .New Price Current, Jan. 6.) SUGAR.—To-day the West India Sugar market opened contrary to general opinion. There was a desire on the pert of merchants to realize, and a reluctance was shown by refiners as well as grocers to operate. The rates accepted privately were 6d under those current previous to the holidays. Indeed, at the public sales a reduction of 6d to is took place ; 170 hhds Barbadoes were, however, all sold, fine yellow went at 37s to 38s, good mid and good 35s to 36, 6d, mid 32s 6d to 34s Gd, low 31s to 325, mid grainy 343; 309 hhds, 14 trcs 19 brls Demerara, low and mid brown 27s to 28s, good to fine 28a 6d to 29s 6d, common yellow 30s to 30s 6d, mid and good 31e 6d to 345, good to fine crystalized 38s to 41s, mid 34s 6d to 378, ord and low 32s to 345. The total purchases amounted to 790 hhds, Lc. REFINED.—To-day there was no further rise for Re fined Sugar; the home trade demand was, however, good, and supply limited. Brown Lumps realise 44s to 44s Gd. Crushed Sugar is dull of sale for export, and can easily be obtained at last week's terms. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon only a small demand prevailed fur Mauritius Sugar, and at auction 1,600 bags of the new crop were sold at 6d to is decline, and went at 285 6d to 32s 6d for low to good mid refining. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar submitted to public sale was extensive, and amounted to 15,500 bags; of this rather more than bait found buy&'rc, while Benares, of which the chief part consisted, went 6d to is per cwt cheaper, low to middling selling at 338 6d to 35:4, good mid to good 35s 6d to 375, fine and superior 37s 63 to 495; other kinds, however, generally sup ported former rates, dry date mid and good selling at 29s 6d to 335, low and good grainy yellow 33s to 37s 63, brown ditto 29s to 325, low and mid like Mauritius 26s to 29s 6d, better sorts 3ls to 335, and soft brown 22s to 23s Gd per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day the private operations in Foreign Sugar were small for all purposes, and in in some cases rather lower rates were acceded to. At auction 130 baskets Java duty paid were sold at easier terms, brown went at 28s Gd to 29s al, and ord to good grey 30s to 345. Molaassfs.—Honey is yet in small supply, and there are several buyers; low to find Jamaica realises from 36s to 56s per cwt. Tamarinds are wanted, and stock is still on the decrease, West India fetches 20s to 30s, and East India 8s to 125 per cwt. Cocoa.—This afternoon the demand was not better for Trinidad Cocoa; at auction 460 bags were nearly all withdrawn on account of the low rates offered. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was sought after, but stiffer rates being demanded operated against business privately; at auction the sound of 400 bags was taken in at 40s 6d for real good ord. Plantation met with attention, but at previous terms holders were disposed to realise; at public sale 112 casks 117 bags all found buyers, mid realised 50a 6d to 51s 6d, low mid 49s to 50s, other sorts 41s to 48s 6d, and triage 36s to 425. Of Bahia 1,200 bags were mostly taken in, mid at 355; a small part sold at 37s for good ord; and 12 barrels Berbice at 45s 6d for fine ord. TEA.—Since this day week a large demand has beeu experienced for Congou from home dealers, and specula tive purchases have also been made. The descriptions most in request have been those under is per lb, on which an advance of id has been obtained ; other sorts fully sustained previous terms. General quotations are for low Congou Bd, good ord sound Bid to 9d, blackish leaf 9W to 1 lid, superior and Pekoe kinds is to is 6d. In Souchong operations are upon a more extended scale, and rates are firmer—low to mid selling at 9d to 1 Id, and good to fine is to is 10d. Oolong sells more freely, common at 10d to Is, and mid to fine at is ld to is sd; there is also less disposition on the part of merchants to realise. There is at present no rise to record for Green, the demand is however on the increase. Hyson of low and mid qualities realised is to is 3d, good to fine is 4d to 2s, superior 2s 2d to 2s 10d. Gunpowder Canton 9d to Is Id; good to fine Hyson kind Is 9d to 2s 4d; inferior Is 3d to is 8d; Imperial Canton 11d to is Id; Hyson kind Is 3d to 2s 6d; Young Hyson, good to fine is 3d to 2s 6d; low to middling is to is 2d; Twanktsy Ild to is 2d, and Hyson Skin 10d to is 4d. In Scented Orange Pekoe several transactions have taken place and at firm rates; good to fine selling at is 2d to is 9d; inferior and mid 10d to is Id, the former being most in request. In Flowery Pekoe there is, however, still little passing, good to fine can be obtained at is 4d to Is 8d; low to mid is Id to is 3d: Caper rather more in request at led to is 2d, and scented ditto at lld to is 5d per pound. HIOE.—To-day little was done privately in East India Rice, and late rates are barely supported, several parcels being declared for auction. SPIRITS. —Few purchases have been made in Lee ward Island Rum, and holders appear disposed to sell at Is 5d to is 6d proof. East India is rather cheaper, limited transactions having taken place at is 3d to is 31d. Demerara is in a quiet state; supply is more plentiful, and rather lower prices are accepted; sales of 30 to 40 over proof having been made at 2s to 2s 4d. In Jamaica pur chases have been immaterial by shippers or home dealers; fine quality 34 to 38 over proof can be obtained at 3s 2d to 4s 2d, good mid to good 32 to 35 over 2s 2d to 35, mid 2s 6d to 2s Bd, and low quality 28 to 30 over proof 2s 3d to 2s 5d per gal lon. Hum is 2d to 5d cheaper than last season. Full terms are demanded for Brandy—Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1851 being held for 4s 2d to 4s 4d, 1850 ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1848 ditto 4s 9d to 48 I Id, 1848 ditto 5s 3d to 5s sd, older 5s 7d to 6s 6d, low to mid 2s 10d to 4s, and Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 4d. British made Spirit is still quoted at 9s 8d to 95 9d net cash, and Gin at 8s for 22 per cent under proof; the market is, however, quiet. In Geneva limited sales are made at is 7d to Is 8d for ord, and fine Is 9d to 2s. Imnoo.—The demand continues trifling for East India, both for shipping and home consumption; those parties that are inclined to sell are compelled to accept rates at 2d to 3d per lb under the last quarterly sales, as the accounts from Calcutta are favourable with respect to the crop, which is expected to reach 120,000 mounds. Full rates are obtained for Spanish, and at present little is doing. COCHINEAL.—This afternoon the demand was good, and at auction 450 bags of Honduras were sold at full rates, and realised 2s 8d to 2s 10d for low to good mid Silvers, black ord to good 3s 3d to 3s 9d. 10 bags Mex can blacks 33 per lb. PuovisioNs.—ln consequence of rather lower terms having been submitted to tor Irish Butter, operations are to a fair extent. Carlow, Clonmel, and Kilkenny realised 72s to 83s, Waterford 66s to 725, Cork 74s to 765, Limerick 65s to 70s, Tralee and Sligo 64s to 68s per cwt. The demand for Foreign is decidedly brisker, and rates rule firm; Friezland fine fetched 88s to 90s, other sorts 615 to 76si Cloningen fine 60 3 t o 66 4 i n f er ior 52s to 565; THE PRESENT TO LORD GRANVILLE. A letter, of which the following is a translation, has been addressed by Lord Granville to M. Sallan drouze de Lamornaix, returning thanks for the hand some present recently received by him from the late Commissioner for the Great Exhibition : " Monsieur le C o mmissaire-Geaeral,—l have the ho nour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, in which you inform me, in such flattering terms, that, it at was thu decided suggestion by col a ' the Minister of Commerce, decree of the P r e s id e nt of the Republic that I should bo presented with a coifre in ebony, ornamented with paintings in Sevres porcelain, as a testimonial of the part taken by me at the Great Exhibition in London. It is with a degree of satisfaction, which I find it very difficult to express, that I accept this magnificent present. I shall always regard it as a precious testimony that France has appre ciated the desire which the Royal Commission had of .justifying th e con fidence so nobly placed in it by the Go vernment and the people of France , and I shall preserve this rich specimen of the progress of industrial arts among you as one of the most valuable memorials of an enterprise which has not a little contributed to tighten the bonds by which the two countries are united. " I beg, Monsieur, that you will act as my interpre ter towards the President of the Republic, and all those who have taken a share in doing mo this honour, in ex pressing all my gratitude. " I am happy, Monsieur, that this communication has been made to me through you, who in all our frequent communications have shown, together with a great zeal for those whom you represented, a desire at the same time to facilitate the labours of the Royal Commission; and I avail myself of this opportunity to repeat the as surance of my most distinguished sentiments. " GRA.NVILLE." COLLEGE ROBB.ERIES . IN CAMBRIDGE Monday, Henry P a d w ick Butler (medical student) At the Cambridge Borough Sessions, holden on was put to the bar, charged with stealing two gold watches, a dressing case, and other articles, from the rooms of members of Magdalen and Emmanuel Colleges. The particulars appeared in The Sun at the time the offence was committed. The trial excited intensw interest. There were now three several indictments against the prisoner, and he pleaded guilty to the first, which charged him with stealing a gold watch, the property of Mr. Brown, of Emmanuel College. No evidence was offered on the other two, and he was for mally acquitted on those charges. Mr. Leapingwell, who appeared on behalf of the prisoner, then addressed the Learned Recorder, characterising this as a most melancholy case, as all the prisoner's friends were highly respectable, though he (Mr. Leaping well) would be one of the last to urge that eircum.• stance as any extenuation of the offence of the pri soner. He trusted, however, that the Court would allow the previous good character of the prisoner to weigh somewhat in mitigation of punishment, and begged to assure the Court that, in the event of its sparing the pris oner f rom a sentence o f transportation, it was the fixed d e t erm i nat i on o f hi s f r iends to send him out of this cou n t ry.

Leapingwe ll p ro ceeded to cha racterise this as one o f t h ose mys t er i o us cases which sometimes occurr e d w h ere the o ff en d e rs had previously , borne irreproach a bl e c h aracters, w ere in good circum stances, and had no apparent motive for the commis sion of felony. M r . W. Musgrove, residing nea r Old K Charlton, —eat, who had b een the prisoner's preceptor for 18 months, and h a d k nown hi m 10 years, gave him a high character f or gen e ros i ty an d kindness of dispo sition and trustworthiness in every respect. The pri soner left school about ten months ago, and had since been on visiting terms with the family of witness. Mr. Musgrove stated that Colonel Arbuckle was to have attended to have given the prisoner a character, having known him from his childhood; but was de tained. Mr. Leapingwell proposed to put in a let ter from Colonel Arbuckle, but the Court rejected it, and the prisoner, who seemed during the late trial to be struck with the most acute sense of his degraded position and to desire to avoid the public gaze, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner's late father was a surgeon in large practice at Charlton, in Kent ; his mother is s till living, and th e whole family have been in the habit of moving in the best society. MURDE R , - I N GOVAN, NEAR GLASGOW. It is our painful duty to record the particulars of a barbarous murder, committed late on Thursday night on Frid a y morn i ng on the body o f a Margaret Lyl e , r es iding in the vicinity o f the o rearly med village o f G ovan, near Glasgow. Though seve ral persons ar e i n custody charge d w i t h the per petration of the bl oo d y deed, and though the whole womannagreater i eh part of them may be found to have in it s commission, we understan d t h e evidence rh has been co ll ec t e d p o i n ts more di rectly to one of their nu m b er, a carter o f th e name o f Neil Strachan, as the person w h o ac tually caused the death of the unfortunate beeno t implicated w which woman. From the isolated position of the heuse in which the murder was com mitted, and the fact that all who could have any knowledge of it are more or less the objects of sus picion, the precise circumstances are as yet involved in some degree of mystery; but enough is known to show that the deceased was beaten to death in the most cruel and barbarous manner by one or other of the , persons now in custody. The features are swelled to twice their usual size, and are disfigured almost beyond recog ni tion. The head is cut in several places ; the neck and shoulders are one mass of wounds ; and, in short, the whole body is covered with bruises as if it had been hacked by a raging maniac. The house in which this horrible murder was per petrated forms the extreme corner of a range of low brick buildings standing in the fields near Bolton street, South ginning-place, and used as stables by , Mr. Brownlie, con tractor. Th ey are completely de tached from the surrounding houses, and, with the exception of Neil Strachan and his family, who re sided in two small apartments at the end of the range, were untenanted. Strachan is an old gray-headed man, a widower, and the father of four children, two of them under ten years of age. He is described to be a quiet, inoffensive person while sober, but one of those who go mad under the influence of intoxicating liquors. It is alleged he had formed an improper con nexion with Margaret Lyle, the supposed victim of his passionate violence. This ill-fated woman:was about,3o years of age, w as unmarried, and was the mother of two or three ill eg itimate children, of whom Strachan is said to be the father, though he never acknowledged the paternity, nor allowed them to live in his house. She usually resided with her mother in Long Gavan, but frequently left her home to cohabit with Strachan, and was regarded by all who knew her as a woman of profligate habits. It appears that Lyle, a female friend of similar cha racter, and a labourer named John Watson, met in Strachan's house on Thursday morning, for the pur ' pose of passing the day of the New Year in their own way. They were visited in the forenoon by one of 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 has 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. Tinderly Timmins (Mr. R. Romer) is a retired citizen of a very petulent nature, who is the terror and torment of his second wife (Miss Maskell), and his daughter (Miss Eglinton), and more particularly 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 th e e l a b or t e an d 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 swee th ear t , t h e "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 &lineation, and narked it with a completeness of conception, that shows he 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. COURT CIRCULAR . WINDSOR, JAN. 6.

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 beat plan that could be adopted for facilitating the great object of education would be through the medium of a mun i c ip a l, borough, or parish rate, applying a fund so raised to the support of such portion of education as co u ld b e 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 which 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 be offensive to the religious principles or scruples of any party, nor to interfere with the religious teaching of any body of professing Christians, or even of the members of the Jewish persuasion; but they said to religious teachers of all denominations, "Do your duty, and permit us to do a duty which is evidently incumbent on some one to perform in a country where such a lamentable amount of ignce:ance prevails." The Legislature had provided a system, of education which had been of immense benefit tr, 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 know to bo 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 preferr e d, h owever , d we lli ng on th e prin ciple they were desirous of initiating, and would be thankful if 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 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 gious scruples of any body, would give all classes an amount of instruction by which they might be able to conduct themselves as rational and efficient members of society, and do good to themselves and their common country. The Rev. W. Mauteow said that Mr. Bailey 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 of religion. it recognised the teaching at any parti c ular time, and in a way that might seem most expedient to the teacher, of those great moral principles which con stituted the practical part of religion. It recognised the Divine Being, the love of him and love to one another, and the obligations of truth, justice, honesty, kindness, and charity. There were difficulties, he admitted, in con nexion with that question, which t he association had taken into consideration. One of t hose was, that a C l ass of persons connected with the e xistin g schoo ls , and wh o had wish l e o d n g t o be r e e n ta e i n n g t a h g e ed minantabgeewmoernkt of of tuition, naturally those schools. Another was, that other classes, comprising No nco n formists,Friends, Jews, and indeed a larg e number of members of the S ociet y of those who belonged to the Established Church, h a d a con scientious objection to the endow p ar ti c ular class of religious opinio and feelingsa n Tent of any o c jhl endeavoured th a e n y d thought o u s g t hit sti ll stronger objection to the end owree h a w f - d opinions opposed to their own, and Ii" any religious w ere erroneous. The association not do better than ju s t of those parties as o L u o lci rdsh l ip the arrangement they h a d made. It was that schools far harmoniseas they the principles ld. n e e I s h or tly bring before hi s shou ld become free schools, uonodser h. a t l h r e ea d d i y re i c n ti o e n m o is f tepnrcee sent or future management, and receive a certain sum they complied with y scholar per week, provided that t h at th the conditions prescribed as to in spection;should not take e inculcation of doctrinal religion cified hours; place in the schools within certain spe that the attendance of the scholars and the inculcation of doctrinal religion shou ld not be the i com pulsory ; that inculcation of doctrinal religion s h ould not be part of the school education ; and that no part of the rates should be applied directly or indirectly to the teaching of . d octrinal religion. 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, th a t 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 in which religious instruction was paid for out of a public rate. The opinions, however, of their body were so well known on that point that he would not enlarge upon it. In con clusion he might observe that the Society of Friends in Manchester had thought it right to issue a do cument relative to one of the educational plane, whi ch he should be happy to present to his Lordship as more fully explanatory of their views respecting it. Mr. W. RA.YNER WOOD Sl need le, the Noble Lord how this measure affected the ciples of civil and religious liberty, of which hie had always been the stanch advocate. Four years age 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 l e he would read an extract to his Lord s hip. It was as f o l- .'e 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 in the religious principles of particular deno minations 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 sanction of his approval. Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P., said he wished just to notice the great affinity, he thought ho might say the identity of this scheme of education with the plan already so suc cessfully carried on in Ireland under the direction of the Government. The arrangement proposed in the schools was as nearly as possible the same; there was the 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 loeg as the schoolmaster was merely a sort of journeyman minister or clergyman, they should scerely 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 exclusively, 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 schools. The object of the deputation was, therefore, to raise English education to the standard of Irish education, there being this differ ence between the cases, that the criminal returns for Ireland showed the efficiency of the schools there in the continued decrease in the per tentage of criminals who received instruction, while no such result was obtained in this part of the kingdom; and as they had often heard of " justice to Ireland," he hoped in this matter it would not be too much to ask for justice to England. Lord Joser 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 such 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 mast 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 taking 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 Foreign 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, cateohisms, or any thing that would exclude those who agreed to the read ing of the 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 great many schools established by the Wesleyan body, who require that the whole of the Bible shall be read in those schools, and are not only against excluding religious in struction, but against the reading of portions only of the Scriptures. That shows that the tendency of all those different societies, and I might add the Congregationa lists and others; and the employment of the sums they have collected have all been directed to combine reli gious with secular instruction. And I think, though it is a system that may be changed, Sou must not omit that fact as an important element in the consideration of the schools which already exist. It is!proposed by this Bill to combine the maintenance of the new schools with the schools now existing. That would be very much a matter of 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 in favour of a combination of religious with secular instruction. Perhaps I may have some prejudices myself on this subject. I have very long 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 which the Government has adopted, and which is in force in Ireland, and has worked very successfully. But I think it hardly follows that although it is the best for Ireland that it would be the best for this country. 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 ono thing, however, that I have seen with great satisfaction, with regard to Manchester. Al hold in my hand the protest of the Society of 'on Bill, y et I think it • from the facts that have been laid before me evident directed to the • • principle that t p r o i u en g d h s heir objections are not l against the Local Education is particular provisions of the Bill itself; and I thuik . t ere seems to be in Man chester a great majority of . those we, pay rates who of a local rate, but rather to the because men in general do not say they are are w illing to concur in paying rates for the improvement a more te thanfor educationalthey ow of education. I think that . is a very encouraging cir cumstance,pay ; and their being willing s be a se y t fi t inhat schemes of this kind produce much purposes proves the ready to pay to be derived from it. I wish only farther to ta a i ,l pli h y ope you will go on with your scheme, in which they hold education, and the great with out, of course, pledging myself to m part h good that and n an d take on the subject, but because I think that even fai lureswith regard to the schetne of Sir J. Graham, to which I have referred, although it was met by a great deal and clamour at first, yet the ul timate PPo ma o ter s e it s i u o l n t 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 iu 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 being 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 m ind to love 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 when afterwards br ou ght un der the inculcation o i f nc r i e p l l i e g s 6. The Rev. Dr. BEARD said, in relation to a remark of Lord John Russell, that the Bible was used in the British and Foreign Society schools—the Bible was not excluded from the schools by any provision of the Bill of the assoc i at i o n, which gave th e p ower o f c h o osing school books to the school committees; and if those committees that A majority of resolved on introducing the Bible, it would be introduced. ati w o h n o ai w e - e u re bl t ic o In regard to his Lordship's statement, ratepayers had given their consent to be ls y - o a n T' d the rate for educa tion, he (Dr. Beard) might state that t t h h e o lN ee h . ad li ht that those who were signatures.
