MELVILLE, and others, and opposed by the Rev. H. A. WCODGATE, the Hon. F. LYGON, and Lord REDESDALE, who replied to Sir J. Pakington's re marks generally. The Liberation Society, his lordship re marked, did not take any action in the matter. They were very well content with the way in which the present Go vernment were aiding them, and they wisely kept quiet. If a manager of a school felt that he could accept. the Con science Clause, and that he got more from the Government grant than he would from the local board, let him accept it, but let him bear in mind that he was imposing a burden on his successor which he might object to.

In like Birmingham the circumstances of trade and employment was very different. (Hear.) Nothing could be more clear than that legislation affecting so many persons and interests should be preceded by this respect, as, indeed, in all others, the new cable has an enormous superiority over the old and ill used rope which was first laid, and which, to the amazement of all those who knew its real condition, nevertheless remained in fair working order for a few days. If such unexpected results were obtained from the old cable, which the advancement of elec trical science since then shows to have been thoroughly ill-adapted for its purpose, it is not over sanguincl , to expect a far more favourable conclusion to the present enterprise, every step in the conduct of which has been marked with the most jealous care, not only to guard against the dangers known to exist, bnt against other emergencies which ex- against it. The discussion lasted five hours, and the audience thinned rapidly towards its close. an impartial and honest investigation. (Cheers.) Unless that was done through action on the Home Office it would not be done at all. The principle of interference had been admitted by Parliament, and carried from one step to another.

In size, in strength, in better condition, better insulation, and better outer covering the new rope is never less than three times as good as the old one, while in many cases, and these the most important, its superiority is four or five times greater. Though a much larger cable, its weight in water per mile is less than half that of its unfortunate predecessor, its breaking strain is 7.1 tons, against 34 tons, the maximum strength of the old rope. The method of joining up the two-mile lengths in which it is constructed is also a great im provement upon the soldered joints in the wires of the first cable, while the standards for insulation and " conductivity" are as high as those devised for the posed interference might go.

The annual meeting of the Worcester Archidiaconal Board of Education was held at Worcester on Tuesday, and was very fully attended, notice having been given by Sir J. Pakington of his intention to move a resolution in reference to the Conscience Clause recently introduced by the Committee of Council on Education. The Bishop of Worcester took the chair, and among those present were Lord Redesdale, Lord Lyttelton, Hon. F. Lygon, M.P., Right Hon. Sir J. S. Pakington, M.P., Mr. Vernon, M.P. Sir E. A. H. Lechmere, Ven. Archdeacon Sanford, Ven: Archdeacon Hone, Rev. Canon Wood, and a large number of clergy and influential laity. The Rev. 11. J. HASTINGS read the annual report, which noticed that et a speCial meeting of the Board held in Octo ber a memorial against the Conscience Clause had been adopted. The grants made in the last year by the Board had amounted to £220, and the total grants since the Board was established to £4,650. Lord LYTTELTON moved the adoption of the report, and said the delay in the completion of the arrangement for uniting the dioceses of Lichfield and Hereford in the manage ment of the Training College had arisen from some unex pected requirements of the Charity Commissioners. The secretaries were reappointed on the motion of Lord Redesdale, seconded by Archdeacon Hone, and thanks hav ing been voted to the Dean and Chapter of Worcester for the use of the Chapter-house, Sir J. PARINGTON rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice in relsrence.to the Conscience Clause. He said he moved this resolution with feelings of great pain, because he felt implied by a sense of public duty to take a course which he had reason to believe was opposed to the ,views of a 140 body of the clergy of the_ diocess, for whose character and ability he had the highest respect, and whose motives he warmly appreciated. The question before them, as he viewed it, was this—ln those localities where only one national school could be established and in that school the doctrines of the Church of England and no other were to be taught, the question arose what was to be the position of the dissenting minority. Were the Dissenters to feel that they were protected by a Conscience Clause—that they who contributed their share to the revenue, from which grams are made to those schools,were to have the advantage of their teaching, and that they were at liberty to call on the manager of the school to relieve their children from being taught doctrines to which they (the parents) ob jected, the parents taking the responsibility of that to which they objected? Was that, he asked, to be their position, or were - they to be a proscribed class, not standing on an equality with their neighbours, and not receiving a fair share of the benefit of the grants which were made from the revenues to which they contributed ? (Hear, hear.) Was it to be considered that the education of the children of Dis senters was a matter, not of right and justice, but of favour on the part of tho clergymen of the parish in which the school was ? And above all, were the Dissenters to feel that a different measure was dealt out in different parishes, in one parish the clergyman by grace and favour admitting the dissenting child to the school, while in the adjoining one perhaps he was excluded ? That was the definition which he made of the question.; and he thought they could not hesitate as to which Of the alternatives they should choose. His (Sir John's) conscience told him that as a matter of charity, as a matter of justice, as a matter of policy in reference to the interests of the country, they were bound to take the side which he had chosen. He had been asked why he, as a member of the Established Church, appeared as champion of those who differed from him in religion, and his answer was an easy and simple one. Irre spective of the grounds of abstract justice and right, by which the conduct of every public man ought to be regu lated, he had two main grounds for taking the course he had done. First, he was convinced that it was for the interests of the Church to take the liberal and just course ; and, secondly, he would say that he as a public man for many years had done all that lay within his poor power to aid in bringing about a state of things in England by which the blessings of education should be brought to every door, however humble or remote, and he - was con vinced that whatever they did to this end their labour would be vain unless they could find some solution to the religious differences which up to the present time had been the great impediment to the progress of education. (Hear, hear.) Sir John went on to explain that the question now mooted by him was not the same as that on which a vote was taken at the last meeting of the board,and reviewed the arguments which he had then employed in discussing the motion at that time before it. At that time he heard a good deal of apprehension expressed which ho could not feel, and of theory in which he could not concur, and he met those ap prehensions and that theory by facts which, he ventured to say, wore much stronger than theories. He had heard an argument advanced by tee:ewe. Mr.• Seymour tu would be impossible for him not to attach great weight, were that argument well founded. Mr. Seymour argued that the admission of the Conscience Clause was opposed to ordination vows. He, as a layman, would not pretend to argue that question with a clergyman, but when ho heard the Bishop of the diocess express his concurrence with the Conscience Clause, and say that any such argument about the ordina tion vow was exaggerated and fantastic—(hear) —then he dismissed the argument altogether. (Hear,hear.) The argu ments which he (Sir John) made use of were these. He told them of a parish within his own personal knowledge where the clergyman was bound, as he thought, by the terms of his union with the National Society to admit to his school none but members of the Church of England. In that parish were three families of Dissenters who would not send their children to the school to be taught Church doctrines, and the children of those three families were consequently un taught. How could they doubt, that such exclusion must have inspired a feeling of hostility to the Church in the minds of these three families ? He should like to say to those who opposed his resolution, what they would say, as Church people, if those three familieewere to be called upon either to violate their religious feelings or have their children brought up in ignorance ? He ventured to say that one such fact as this outweighed a thousand theories. Where the Con science Clause was introduced, instead of hostility being ex cited a feeling of harmony and good will would be promoted, and in numerous instances the children of Dissenters be came communicants of the Church. (Hear.) The question now before the Board was whether if any of the schools in the archdeaconry of Worcester accepted the Conscience Clause, they were to punish them for having taken this little step in a liberal direction by depriving it of any grant from this board? That questionhad actually arisen. The school of Barbourne in the archdeaconry having accepted the clause, a grant had been made to it by this board, and he had been told that it was an illegal grant, not authorised by our position with the National Society. Sir John then produced the correspondence on this subject laid on the table of the House of Commons last session, and quoted the opinion of Sir J. IL Coleridge as to the inconsistency of the terms of union with the National Society in opposition to the opinions of the National Society itself. He considered the National Society lend involved itself in a most difficult position, and he moved—" That in the opinion of this meeting the rules of the board ought to be revised so as to enable all Church schools within the archdeaconry which are in need of assistance to benefit by its grants, whether they have or have not accepted the Conscience Clause." The Rev. Mr. LEA seconded the resolution. He thought he might take the Conscience Clause as the law of the land. (No, no.) He did not think the present Government would disturb it, and the head of the Educational Depart ment under Lord Derby's Government was a supporter, if not the promoter of it. Lord LYTTELTON said he felt bound to consider this ques tion on the merits of the Conscience Clause itself. He did not think they could simply content themselves by saying that they could see no objection to the provision of this hearers ers pamphlet, that had h read, a d, C on science Clause, he thought they should do more than this. With reference to the Barbourne school which had been alluded to, he much doubted whether the school had unw illingly accepted the Conscience Clause. In replying to the arguments of Sir - John Pakington he would proceed t o consider what this Conscience Clause, as it was called, really was, and he had to apologise for introducing in his remarks subjects of pu r e theology. His views on this subject had been before the public for some time in a w hich, perhaps, however, few of his present and he should have to repeat in substance been advanced in that pamphlet. He would assume that the clause must be considered strictly as mean ing neither more nor less than what it said, and that it was worked bona'fide. The Conscience Clause permitted that children or Dissenters attending Church schools should not be required to attend Church, and that they should not be taught the doctrines of the Church in certain specific formu laries. It meant nothing more nor less than this. Let them take, therefore, a Church school, with a Church teacher, a Church manager, and a clergyman at the head of it. What was taught in the school? The Bible was taught in it. He hoped he should not hear in that place that the Bible, of all books, was to be read in the school, but that not one word of note or comment was to be offered on the text. (Hear, hear.) The Bible was to be read and taught as they read and taught history and geography ; in neither of these were the managers restricted. The master of the schools, therefore, were to read and explain the 'Bible and every part of it ; and in what sense, ho asked, could they teach it except in the sense of the Church of England ? (Hear, hear.) What did they get the children of their schools to school for? The manager said to the parents, " I ask you to send your children to me in order that I may be a fellow-worker with you, that we may be fellow-workers in God in train ing up your children to be good citizens of this world and of the next." And suppose he had a bad child in his school, what was he to do with him ? He could not point out his duty in the words of the Catechism, and could only talk to him about the evil consequences in this world of his con duct. But that was not teaching in the sense in which children should he taught. The Conscience Clause would With respect to the extension of Government manu facturing establishments he thought it impossible to view their increase without uneasiness. (Hear.) He was not opposed to all Government establishments of that description, but contended that the Govern ment ought not to establish any manufactory for goods which they could obtain from the public at large, except as a check on the manufacturer's prices. (Hear.) Nothing could be more unfair than to use public money for the purpose of competing with the private trader ; but beyond that there was another objection, and that was the opening which such a system afforded for the distribution of patronage. The country owed a deep debt of gratitude to Mr. Cob den for the manner in which he had brought the subject before Parliament during the last session, and he hoped that in the course of the next session his hon. friend would again introduce the matter with a view of putting an end to the Government manufacturing establishments, which were not only hostile to the manufacturer, but deeply hazardous to our finances. (Cheers.) With regard to the Partnership Law Amendment Bill, he would only say, that after carrying forward the measure as far as he could in the last session, he had a consultation with some of the influential members of her Ma jesty's Government, the result of which was that Mr. Milner Gibson promised to introduce a bill on the sultiect. That bill, which had. been prepared, was simple and short, and he (Mr. Scholefickl) pre ferred it to his own, and hoped it would be carried to a successful issue. (Cheers.) With respect to the law of bankruptcy he thought the less the Go vernment and the lawyers had to do with the dis tribution of assets of bankrupts the better. (Cheers.) That matter ought to remain mainly in the hands of the creditors, and the Government ought, under no circumstances to interfere, except where the cre ditors abandoned all attempts to recover the assets, or where fraud existed. (Hear.) There was only one other point on which he wished to make a re mark. We were now making great progress in com mercial prosperity, mainly through the efforts of his hon. colleague and Mr. Cobden to remove the impediments which formerly prevented the exten sion of trade. (Cheers.) The country was from day to day becoming richer and richer. He wished he could say that our commercial morality grew with equal rapidity, but regretted to say that was not the case. (Hear.) He did not mean to assert that chambers of commerce could do much to en courage commercial morality, but it was their bounden duty to recommend to the commercial community a more complete adherence than they had hitherto manifested to honesty and good faith. (Cheers.) He did not mean to say that there were not men as perfect in commercial morality as in former days, but unfortunately there had crept in amongst them a desire to achieve wealth by means not consistent with honesty. Had it not been for this the protection of trade marks would never have been required. (Cheers.) The report which was taken as read, was on the motion of Mr. J. S. Wright (the vice-president), and Mr, Wiggins (the mayor), received and adopted. Mr. BRIGHT apprehended that the subjects for discussion would be a little monotonous. Happily they were not only various but important, and on one or two of them he wished to offer a few remarks. He concurred with his hon. colleague as to the change in the course of the proceedings of the Foreign Office as indicated by the visit of the two gentlemen connected with that department to whom reference had been made, but he warned all present not to be too confident in that matter. It took a great deal to eradicate evil principles from the human heart, and evil principles and practices from a Government department. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He derived some little consolation from what occurred respecting foreign affairs, during the last session. We might hope that they would be come less complicated than they had been heretofore, and that the statesman who in future should preside at the Foreign Office would impress on the ambas sadors, ministers, charges d'affaires, and the whole host of those gentlemen who enjoyed good salaries abroad, that they should consider the trade of this country and the trade of the world as very impor tant, and that it was necessary for them to under stand something respecting it, and not look upon any question of commerce that was submitted to their notice as if it were an unwelcome thing, with which they would rather not soil their hands. (Cheers and laughter.) The old Foreign Office had been pulled down, and he had suggested that all its traditions should be buried in its ruins. Lord Palmerston had caused a new building to be erected, and he hoped that as the exterior of the office had been changed its interior principles and policy would be ,changed also. (Cheers.) If the spirit of the Foreign Office should be changed and recognise the grandeur of the commercial interests of this country, it would be able to do whatever was neces sary, just as if it were constituted in any other manner. It was clear that the effect of the agita tion of the Bradford Chamber of Commerce, of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, and of the associated chambers, had been considerable, and every member of those bodies must feel that he had been doing good service to the country in trying to bring the department of the Foreign Office to some more clear sense of the magnitude and importance of the commercial interests of the kingdom. (Hear.) Another subject of great importance was the Factory Act. lie gave to the ant act all the opposition in they were able to render patentees, and those who opposed patents, no strong opposition was likely to be given to the system of patents. (Hear, hear.) He considered that great harm was caused by the granting of patentsfor inventions of a trifling nature. If we had never had any patents, and it Was proposed to give a lump sum to the inventor, or a monopoly in the shape of a patent, it would be said if a man claims such a monopoly over the whole country, the invention would be one of that magnitude which would confer great benefit on the country or on some particular trade. In that case it might be proper to give him some £5,000, or a patent for seven years. But now monopolies were given for the most unim portant and trifling inventions, and in any trade persons were always in peril of litigation on very trivial matters. (Hear, hear.) He regarded the granting of patents indiscriminately, and the grant ing of a monopoly by the Crown, to be detrimental and contrary to public interests. (Cheers.) Suppose a man in Birmingham to invent a machine that very day, and register it ; and suppose a man down at Newcastle to discover something bearing some re semblance to it, involving in some degree the same principle, and intended to bring about the same result. He should object to the first man having his patent, which would not only give him the monopoly of his own invention, but absorb the invention of another man many miles away. (Cheers.) He did not mean to say that that was a conclusive argument against patents, but it was a reason to induce Par liament to pause before giving further monopolies. (Cheers.) So far as he was concerned, he should never ,support such a scheme. The specifications on which the patents were based were of the most vague and complicated character, and it was impossible for any number of scientific men or any judge to define clearly what was meant by many of those specifica tions. It was quite impossible to do justice between the parties, and to ascertain, whether from ignorance or dishonesty, if something was included in the spe cification which the patentee did not invent. (Hear.) The public had a great interest in the question, and if a patentee• took out a patent including things to which he had no right—if the patent should prove bad in law, the man ought not to be allowed to dis claim and repudiate the things which he had mono polised, and by legal processes worry out those who were carrying on the same trade. (Cheers.) If the power of disclaimer were altogether abolished, and a man would not guard his own interests at once, he ought to suffer from the loss caused by his igno rance, bad management, or dishonesty, and the public should be free from the monopoly which he had endeavoured to gain. (Cheers.) The state of the -law on this subject with regard to costs was perfectly frightful. The costs recoverable by the winning party were a miserable percentage of the costs actually incurred. The whole system was one of great and grievous oppression, and the report of the commissioners merely touched the subject, with out probing the grievances which exist and attempt ing th remedy them. (Cheers.) The utility of these chambers of commerce appeared to him to be grow ing every day. He believed that the chambers of Manchester and Liverpool had not yet joined the associated body. They might have some good reasons for not doing so ; but if they had honest and open objects on behalf of the great principles of commerce which affected all trades, it was a great pity that they had not joined the associated chambers in order to render their operations more beneficial. (Cheers.) Every sagacious man in the Government was coming to a discovery which they had been very long in making—that a statesmanship which attends to the material interests of the country not less than its great political inte rests, is a statesmanship which the country re quires. (Cheers) Of late years the statesmen who had done most for the country were those who had filled the office or attended to the duties of the Chancellor of the Exchequer—Sir Robert Peel, and after him Mr. Gladstone. (Cheers.) It was an unfortuate circumstance, but historically true, as he had once stated in the House of Commons, that the Whigs had never produced a Chancellor of the Exchequer, and many of the leading Whigs ad mitted the truth of this statement, merely putting in a plea for Sir Robert Walpole. (Laughter and cheers.) This system of policy had been of late the path to influence, and honour, and usefulness. That opinion was now spreading among efficient men of all classes, who were every day becoming more and more anxious to meet the views of the commercial classes throughout the country. (Cheers.) If the chambers of commerce were united, and disclaimed all protection and petty and rival interests, and were open and generous enough to look at all those great questions which affected the whole nation, andi a_ if they would go to Downing - street and to Parlia ment ment with that magnanimous feel in g , u meet, both in Downing-street and in Parliament, t, they to would far greater attention than wo uld have b e en given them at any former period , and confer great and lasting benefits would be able to u on their country. no p interest in doing (Cheers.) Parliament had now wrong in what it called minor matters. The House of Lords did not s et itself against propositions of tat nature. On the Conservative side of the House of Commons they had got over the fear of change on these subjects, and there was an openness in their minds could be appealed to. (H ear, h ear .) He which ha d g reat- pleasure in thinki ng t h at t h e grea t a nd growing influence of the chambers of commerce was attributable to a considerable extent to the course which the Birmingham Council had taken ; and he should be most happy to assist his hon. col league in furthering the objects of such institutions, which were worthy of pursuit by the great com mercial and trading interests of the kingdom. L , ( Loud cheers.) Persian Gulf cable, and the tests are continuous in every portion of the manufacture. Nearly 900 miles of the cable have already been made, and are beau tifully coiled away in the .large tanks in the Tele graph Construction Company's works, lately those of Messrs. Glass and Elliot. Fifteen hundred nau tical miles have yet to be manufactured to complete the tale, exclusive of the shore ends, which will be most massive, and in length some 30 miles. The factory now turns out 14 miles a day of completed rope, which in four months' time will give 1,350 miles, at the present rate of working—though, of course, as the days grow longer so in proportion will the hours of labour. It is considered, therefore, that the work would be well advanced if 2,000 miles had to be completed instead of 1,500. Two hulks have been placed at the disposal of the company by the Admiralty—the Iris and the Amethyst. As soon as the Iris, now off the works, is filled with her quantum of 250 miles, she will be towed down to the Great Eastern, and the Amethyst will take her place, and in this manner, for the next four months, the shipment of cable will be continuous. The cable is wound on board these hulks at the rate of little over two miles an hour, and, as the days are short and there is little night work, the rate of shipment is not much ahead of the rate of manufacture. During this winding on board the hulks, as during every other process, the tests for insulation and " conductivity" are continued with the same scrupulous care. The interior of the Great Eastern is undergoing important alterations to fit her for her duties as a cable-ship. The great object with such ships is to get as few coils of cable as possible—in fact, if pos. sible, to have it all in one. Large, however, as the Great Eastern is, she could never hold the Atlantic cable in one coil, for, apart from its weight, which is 5,000 tons, its bulk in one mass would be gigantic —a coil of 58ft. in diameter and nearly 60ft. high, enough to fill Astley's Theatre from the ground of the circus almost to the roof. It is disposed there fore in three circular tanks—one aft, one amidships, and on forward. Each of these tanks is of solid wrought iron, water-tight, built on what is called the 30-foot deck, and with some minute differences which are not worth mentioning, are all as nearly as possible alike in size—namely, 58ft. diameter and 20ft. high. The forward tank is from the shape of the ship smaller in diameter than those amidships and aft, but the lengths of all are alike. This tank is entirely finished, and will be filled with water to-day, in readiness for the reception of the first - portion of the cable. The after tank is about three parts complete, but no commencement has yet been made with that which will occupy the midship por tion of the vessel further than the removal of the cabins, decks, and indeed the entire interior portion of the ship. In order to sustain the enormous additional weight which will be placed on the decks when the whole of the tanks are on board, the deck on which the tanks are erected is being strengthened by a system of knees and deck-beams, while the lateral pressure of the cable against the sides of the tanks will be overcome by an arrange ments of beams and supports, with the object of confining the dead weight of the cable to the centre of the ship, and preventing or rather overcoming the outward pressure of the enormous mass when the vessel is rolling—as the Great Eastern does roll—at sea. This, not the least im portant portion of the work, is being executed by Mr. Canning, the company's engineer, to whom is also confided the general superintendence of the equipment of the vessel, the experience that gentle man gained in assisting to lay the former Atlantic telegraph cable being of great advantage in mak ing the necessary preparations for the present un dertaking. The three tanks will hold respectively 817, 803, and 633 miles of cable, giving a total h,dyveahtsyihesoleirllctideexp length of 2,253 miles. No final arrangements have yet been made as to the rules to be followed ill laying the cable, but it will, of course, be coin n ought Atlantic,to b ( a menced from this side of the Atlantic and carried across to Newfoundland, to get the benefit of the westerly winds which generally blow in summer. Steaming against a head wind, the Great Eastern. is as steady as a rock. The rate of steaming across will never exceed seven knots an hour, and at this rate the great object of the expedition All will, it accomplished in from 10 to 11 enough how ever, depend on fine weather, so in t_ tehveerytewrrihfieree gale amst this misfortune, how sufficiently proved. Ag care or skill on the part of the com panysl e trebly ene o ever, no g uard, and at present this seems the only cloud can unter.ed b cloud over the prospects of the New Atlantic 'elegraph• , COOPER."—The following passage from Every Day Papers, by Andrew Halliday, London, 1864, ii. 257, explains the origi n o f th i s mixture o f s t ou t a nd porter : Lome brewers, who are jealous for the reputation of their beer, employ a traveller, who visits the houses periodically, and tastes the various beers, to see that they are not reduced too much. This functionary is called the Broad Cooper. When the Broad Cooper looks in upon Mr. Noggins, and wants to taste the porter, and the porter is below the mark, Mr. Noggins slyly draws a dash of stout into it. And this trick is so common and so well known, that a mixture of stout and porter has come to be known to the public and asked for by the name of " Cooper."—Notes and Queries. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Fear not.—Though surrounded by circumstances disad vantageous to health, these remedies, properly applied, will cut short fevers, influenza, inflammation, diptheria, and a. host of other complaints always lurking about to seize on the weak, forlorn, or unwary. The superiority of Hollo way's medicines over others for subduing disease has been. so fully and widely prOved that it is only necessary to ask the afflicted to give them a trial, and if the instructions folded round them be followed, no disappointments will ever ensue or dangerous consequences result. In hoarseness and ulcerated sore throat the ointment should frequently be rubbed upon the neck and top of the chest ; it will d g arrra est the increasing inflammation, allay disquietude, an dually cure.
