NEWCASTLE, WEDNESDAY The fourteenth annual meeting of the National Associa ciation for the Promotion of Social Science was opened here to-day, under what appear to be very favourable auspices. His Grace the Duke of Northumberland suc ceeds Sir Stafford Northcote as president, and a large number of visitors are assembled in the town with the prospect of a good week's work before them to be pleasantly intermingled with evening reunions and off day excursions. There will be as usual daily sittings of the Departments of Jurispru dence, Education, Health, and Eeconomy and Trade, presided over respectively by the Hon. Lord Neaves, Dr. Lyon Playfair, Mr. Robert Rawlinson, and Sir W. G. Armstrong. The list ,of questions to be discussed is of a most comprehensive character. A ladies' conference will meet, as at Bristol last year, for the discussion by ladies only, of such subjects as, being included in the objects of the Association, come peculiarly within their province. It has also been ar ranged that an International Arbitration Conference shall be held, the object of which will be to obtain some expression of sentiment as to the best means of avoiding such unhappy differences as have led to war between two continental nations, with both of which this country is cn terms of the mos? friendly affiance, and as to the means best calculated•to secure a permanent peace. Several evening lectures .will be delivered, and on Friday night.a meeting of working men will be held. The pro ceedings, to-day, commenced with Divine service in St. I Nicholas's Church, the sermon being preached by the At all Libraries.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given.

At the evening meeting in the Town Hall, his Grace the Duke of Northumberland (President ,of the Congress), delivered the following address :—My presence here as your president is owing to the pressing invitation of a number of gentlemen (the chief of the municipality of this great town at their head), and in deferring to their wishes, I have been actuated at once by the desire to gratify them, and to offer this mark of my respect for the Associa tion, of my warm participation in its efforts to forward the improvement, and promote the welfare '.if the human race, , and of na) anxiety, in so far at least, to assist in the solu tion of the numerous and all-important problem which such an undertaking comprises. The congress could hardly select a place of meeting in which such questions are more prominently brought into notice, or more peremptorily require such solution, from the remarkUle variety of causes affecting its social condition. There are few counties or cities in the empire in which the present holds out promise of so "mice future progresS—none in which it is so strangely mingled with the past. To this day ancient customs, habits, and phraseologies linger amongst us, and curiously grafted onthem is the composite structure of a population in which almost every part of tae United Kingdom and most foreign nations have their, re presentatives. And in harmony with this fusion is the quaint juxtaposition of the monuments of remote anti quity, to the edifices which mark the increase of the wealth and the growth of the commerce of the present day. Within sight of this hall, affording so noble a proof of the riches and power of its founders, arises the ancient castle which gives its name to the town, though its title of " new " goes back eight hundred years, when the son of the Norman Conquerer built it to secure his iron rule over the ruins of a country which he had de vastated with the most ruthless cruelty ; the old Nor man bulwarks which have so often rolled back the tide , of Scotch invasion, and habitations still standing as later specimens of the structure of a border town of the middle ages. You may trace close by the wall built by the labour of the German legions, and almost within its shadOw (if the.exaggerated expression may be permitted to me) the manufactories in which the greatest improvements in the terrible apparatus of modern warfare have been originated and perfected. The wild hills where for miles around no sound save the bleat of the sheep and the cry of the moor fowl is heard, give birth to the noble river at our feet, laden with the merchandise and traffic of nations teeming with human life, its crowded banks inhabited by men of all lan . guages, trades, and avocations. To the scanty but fierce population which only maintained its existence of yore under the conditions of being ever prepared to defend it- self by the sword against the continual irruptions of an irreconcileable enemy, has succeeded a generation leading a life of laborious tranquillity, undisturbed save by the dis tant thunder of foreign strife, though it is not exempt from sufferings of a less fearful description, among which may, I fear, be reckoned that of having far outgrown the means at present available for providing for its religious, moral, and intellectual requirements, notwithstanding the liberality with which modern bounty has supplemented ancient endowments and foundations. Since you last assembled, considerable progress has been made 'in the changes in the social system, which have been, at divers times, recommended by members of this society, and •formed the groundwork of its deliberations, both as regards our social economy here and our relations with foreign nations. They are, doubtless, but forerunners of still greater changes, the signs and indications of the tendencies, whether for good or evil, which animate the mass of our nation, of the educated as well as of the uneducated classes. We are one people, united not only by an equality in the eye of the law, which is perfect in all respects, save where the necessity of the personal independence of the legislator, elected or hereditary, invests him with certain immunities; but we are bound together by ties so close, by the interchange of duties, by the requirements of interest, ambition, aye, and of kindness and goodwill , that I believe neither ancient or modern history can skew an instance of so mighty a nation, composed of such various materials, and animated by such a restless activity, where so much real community of spirit has existed ; and where, theoretically at least, if not practirally to the desired extent, the interdependency between all classes is so fully recognised —certainly none where so much independence of action and idea was exercised, with the same entire freedom, and with comparatively so little of the license too often mistaken for it. Let me not, however, be misunderstood —my words must not be supposed to imply that I look on the present state of geneFal society as by any means what it should be, or the feeling between class and class as actually and entirely satisfactory. I only mean that it is a mistake to insinuate the existence of a rigid line of demarcation between the interests and feelings of one class, and those of another , asce ndin g and descending as they do through an unbroken, though it may be often an attenuated chain, 'from the highest to the lowest. He who listens to the warning voice of political foresight will hardly escape the conviction that we are arrived at one of those periods in the history of the world when a great change is impending. The impatience of all authority which pervades society, the fluctuation of the popular mind, unable to rule and unwilling to obey, are universal. They are proclaimed in the successive trial and failure of every form of government on the Continent, and signs that we have not escaped the same influence are palpable enough. The great moral earthquake of the last century is still at work. Its miserable conse quences are but too strongly exemplified in the tre mendous conflict still raging in France, no less than in the internal and social condition of that unhappy . country; nevertheless, the warning avails not to pre ve nt the impulse communicated by it from hurrying us too forward to the extinction of the institutions, ideas, and manners of our predecessors. Borne along by the rapid course of modern legislation, while the direction of that course can be but dimly foreseen and calculated, we can estimate its rapidity by the disappearance in swift succes sion of the ancient landmarks, monuments of the political and religious faith of our forefathers happily, however, hitherto without the more baneful adjuncts which have marked its progress in other countries. In this respect, we have as yet enjoyed a happy distinction and immunity, owing to the peculiar habits which those institutions have created among us. These habits, it is to be hoped, will survive and remain the best testimony to the intrinsic excellence, as well as special adaptation to our national character, of the institutions by which they were formed, and will perhaps tend to perpetuate in some other shape the benefits of which these institutions were formerly the channels. That the labor is of this association may lead to such a result, is the best wish that I can frame for its future utility; that they may assist, by the light its dis cussions may throw on the necessities, desires, and tenden cies of society, the statesmen of the day to equalise the mo tion and smooth the track of the social machine, what ever may be the form and nature of the authority which is. hereafter to direct it. The more the legislating body partakes of the character which respects nothing but the visible and the practical, the more necessary it is that the local institutions, habits, and ideas which regulate the social life of the nation should be rooted in the affections of the people, and approve them selves to all minds as wholesome and beneficial, if they are to survive the despotism of democratic legislation. I am not, I think, diverging into political disquisition by reminding you that, by the operation of recent enact ments, the whole power of returning the representative portion of the Legislative Body of the kingdom to Par liament has passed into the hands of a class w hose numerical superiority constitutes their principal claim to such a preponderant influence in the State, and that the counterbalancing influence of wealth, knowledge, and property, it has been the study of our legislators to render nugator , To those who recognise the inevitable conse quence of the change which has taken place with respect to the depositaries of that power, from which the governing authority is, in fact, though not in theory, an immediate emanation, it will appear most desirable that the depart- ments on which devolve the executive functions of the State, should partake as little as possible of the ephemeral cha racter of the transient administrations of the day, or of the capricious and arbitrary nature of the legislation of the assembly from which these administrations are taken — that the executive departments should be permanent, easy of approach, and impowered to pronounce through their chiefs final decisions on questions submitted to them. Yet in proportion to their merits will be the rapidity of their absorption of the minor though cognaie powers now en trusted to local bodies, and I acknowledge that I look with the utmost jealousy on all progress in this direction. No one is more aware than myself of all the in conveniences and drawbaoks attending the petty in trigues by which local and municipal action is almost always encumbered. I have played a certain part on that stage, and have had personal experience of the mischief arising from them ; but still, with all this full in my re collection, I must own that I dread the tendency to a' change which shall, by degrees, induce my countrymen to avoid the trouble of administering their own affairs, and to withdraiv themselves from the annoyances and labour of the parochial, municipal, and other duties connected with the localities in which their lot is cast, to deprive them of the best school in which they may fit themselves for duties and offices of a higher class, and to inflict on the central government, many which it can but most inadequately discharge, and, above all, whilst leaning on it for . every petty detail of local administration, shall tempt them to blame it for every trivial shortcoming. Seeing what has been done in foreign cities, both in the way of artistic and sanitary improvements, it is difficult not to contrast unfavourably the condition of our large towns with those of corresponding importance on the Con tinent, and to forget the price at which these improvements have been purchased. Like the persons mentioned by that charming writer, Miss Edgeworth, who pestered her father, the :great machinist, on the subject of some me chanical invention of his, and on being told that it would not work, always asked whether it could not be made to do so by a spring ?—so whenever anything in their theories par ticularly difficult, disagreeable, or dangerous, must be met, minds of a certain class are ever ready to call on the Government to supply their own lack of ingenuity or courage. This " Government" means, in plain English, a chief of department who can be but very partially informed as regards local wants and circumstances, deriving his knowledge of details from virtually irresponsible subordi nates, and liable in acting upon their recommendation and in accordance with thilf strict traditions of office, to come to decisions - from which no appeal lies, save to himself. To my mind, the line to be observed by the central authority, is interference only for the purpose of enfoicing obedience to the law, not with the processes by which the end is to be effected, though it may assist in the character of arbitrator in promoting harmonious combination for public purposes, and in preventing the clashing of selfish interests so warmly contended for in the late discussions upon this much debated matter. Yet, the measure now be come law must be considered rather as a preliminary preparation for the fulfilment of a scheme, than a scheme itself. It has not proscribed religious, though it has dogmatic, teaching in the schools hereafter to be created by rating, and the Country must be congratulated on having brought to bear the practical good sense of the nation on this all important point, at a moralist when the authors of the measure might have been induced to yield to pressure in the opposite direc tion. Holding the conviction that education in its proper sense is the fostering and directing the growth of the spiritual as well as the intellectual part of man's nature (though I am somewhat loath to repeat what many will consider an universally acknowleged truism), I esteem it a miserable mistake to look on instruction, which is only conveying information, as satisfying the real requisites of society in this . matter, which ought to be the fitting of the man, not only for the discharge of the duties of the station allotted to him here below, but for the far higher one he ought to aspire to here, after—the education of the whole man, not merely the cultivation of the intellect ; cultivate, manure the soil as you will, unless the light and the dew of Heaven fall upon it, poisonous fungi and loathsome weeds will be your only crop. "-Intellect alone is a poor moraliser" (I quote from a pamphlet which many members of this society have doubtless read). " The answer given to an English M.P. who inquired of the governor of a large Prussian prison if there were many uneducated inmates," was : "We have not one unable to read and write, whilst many of the prisoners are highly educated ; " mark the word, " knowing for example, three or four languages." Let me quote, too, the exclamation of a Prussian philanthropist :—' What in the world does it profit a State to have thieves who can write, and thieves who can cypher ? they are only the more dangerous." In the midst of the storms of debate, and the obscurity of the future of the education movement, one bright ray of light has cast a cheering gleam on this question, and that is the determination shewn by. the people of England that their children shall not be deprived by law of the benefits of religious instruction in the schools they will be compelled to pay for. I am sufficiently narrow minded to be convinced that there is not a sect which really believes in Christ whose doctrines would not form a better foundation for a man's life, than a mere set of philosophic axioms, which, asserting no hold over the heart, impress them selves but very feebly an the ordinary under standing. The sermon on the Mount taught by mere human authority in the same way as the philosophy of Greece, would, I doubt, have as little influence over a man's conduct, as that exercised by the wisdom of the Athenian sages, or the Maxims of Confucius. That philf,- sophy has failed to essentially ameliorate or elevate man kind, whilst the Christian religion, in spite of, and even perhaps through the very antagonisms which have sprung up in the midst of the Christian Church, has had a power for good, to which leaving out other proofs of a more general and cogent description, I hope our meeting here to-day is A true, though perhaps a feeble testimony. The question of compulsory education, properly so called, can hardly be said to have received a solution anywhere, and I may well hesitate to express an opinion u p on it. In the crowded state of the population of this country, the difficulty of providing the means of subsistence is so great, and with regret it must be confessed, the ignoring of the advantages of instruction so common, that compul sory measures would be severely felt ; and the more so from the entire freedom hitherto enjoyed, and in this direction too often misused by the people at large. A great impulse has been given to the education of a particular class by holding out the chances of obtaining Government employment to all who arrive at a certain degree of attainment. The plea for this is that it enables Government to obtain the greatest amount of talent for public purposes, and to prevent the admis sion to these posts of unqualified individuals through private interest. I entertain very grave doubts as to the good effect, either to the GOvernment or to the individual, of this measure, and not less as to the advantages derived from it by the community at large. The competitive examinations, now the only mode by which entrance is to be obtained through the straight and narrow gate which admits to Government em ployment has two great disadvantages—firstly, that of being in itself a very unfair and unjust test as regards the candidate himself ; and, secondly, of affording no proof of his real fitness for such employment. With respect to the first, it must be obvious that the candidate's success must depend quite as much on the attainments of his fellow-competitors as on his own ;. it is complicated by the great variations unfairly introduced year by year into the standard by which those attainments are estimated, whilst there is on the part of the examiners a natural and ever-inereasing propensity to raise their requirements. The result is that a practice has been introduced too well known by the title of cram ming; that is, gorging the memory with knowledge which the mind is not required nor enabled to digest, so that success becomes a matter of memory rather than of intel lectual power. As to the second point, the candidate who is successful too often brings to the service of Government a mind and body exhausted by premature exertion, to whom the drudgery of the petty duties of official routine is disgusting, the more so .as he is conscious of being fitted by superior attainments, if not by superior intellect, for far higher posts and occupations. These duties, are, therefore performed grudgingly, and wit hout spirit, and relinquished for any employment holding out brighter proipects than the niggardly pay doled out by the parsimony of Government to its servants. I will not dwell on the cruelty to the candidates rejected in competition from no fault of their own, and yet on whom the disappointment of failure and a certain stigma must rest, than which there are few things harder for the young to bear, or more injurious to their characters. I shall not enter further on the subjects to be mooted in the Educational Department in the Congress, but we shall all I am sure agree that one of the principal objects we should aim at is the affording to those who are anxious to acquire knowledge the means of prolonging their education, and adding to their stock of information, by providing facilities for a progressive course of studyi and this I hope will be come one of the points of discussion prominently brought into notice. Yet, in treating this question, it must ever be remembered that after all the acquisition of mere abstract knowledge plays but a minor and subordinate part in a man's life, and that it is in proportion as that knowledge fits him for the peculiar post he has to fill, that it is really a solid and substantial benefit to him. The education of a man whose position in the world indicates political life as his proper sphere, or upon whom the cares and duties of great possessions are to devolve, must evidently, if it is to be successful in fitting him for his career, differ in many respects from that given to the man intended for a special pro fession. The foundation, however, of both must be identical in one point, namely, the creation of habits of s teady application, and to this end, whatever may be said against their exclusive use, qassical studies, as well as mathematical, are at least good, though thorny introduc tions. We often hear the dangerous classes spoken of. The dangerous classes in my eyes are not only the idle and vicious, which can be kept under control by the common energy of a decently administered executive, and from w hich little but occasional outbreaks are to be appre hended. Still less that of the industrious labourer, artisan, or mechanic. It is rather that of a highly instructed class, raised in its own esti mation above mechanical labour by its superior acquirements, finding every avenue to advancement thronged and impeded by its own daily increasing num bers, and without any outlet to its powers and its energies, whilst its sufferings are rendered more acute by its sharpened intelligence. This is, as far as I have been able to observe, the class whose discontent is most perilous to the commonwealth, and I think that your atten tion may .be drawn, not in vain, to the dis cussion of methods by which these sufferings may be avoided, and these energies find vent in useful employment. Whilst the topic of education has formed the principal part of parliamentary labours of the past session, two very important measures have passed, which I rejoice to see, as fulfilling on the one hand the object of promoting the peaceful intercourse of nations, and on the other that of restraining and curtailing the facilities hitherto existing for making this country an entrepot for the warlike material of beligerent nations— the former to allow of a change of nationality not hitherto permitted by the laws of England—and the other an act forbidding the sale of ships of war to belligerent nations, and the recruiting of men in this country for service in their armies. To Tess on to other subjects which will c mie under discussion, the improuement in the administration of the law, the creation of new tribunals, and the improving and perfecting the modes of operation of those already in existence, are matters upon which I do not consider myself ustified in detaminefou by any observations of mine. I have alluded to the possibility of advantageous altera tions with regard to the Summary JurisdictiOn, and I wish my remarks to apply especially in its connec tion with the Police, whose efficiency would be un doubtedly improved by . the enlargement of the areas to which its action is now in many cases confined, and being thus freed from the possibility of the exercise of local or private influence, not to mention other most important functions which this body would then discharge with greater facility and efficiency—in no instance is this com plete independence more required than in their connection with the sanitary regulations affecting great towns, where the penalties imposed by the law bear heavily on the offenders, and its execution is entrusted to parties having often a decided, though perhaps, not a direct, interest in the matters on which they have judicially to decide. lam happy to see that amongst the subjects to be sub mitted to your attention, a systematic plan of emigration is likely to be fully canvassed, and that there are those amongst us who will bring to bear on it the experience of many . years of foreign service in a great variety of our colonies. Hitherto Government emigration may be said to have been confined almost entirely to the labouring class, and to the protection of that class its attention has been solely directed. No one thinks that it ought to have been less. But it may be a question whether it might not go further and that by some admixture of emigrants of a higher class great benefit might not be conferred on both. It is very gratifying, whilst considering the advantages to be derived from an extending scheme of emigration, to remark the favourable results exemplified in its effects on a class which has nothing to look to but its own exer tions, that of children brought up in reformatories under industrial instruction. On examining the returns of the character and conduct of those discharged from these asylums, the superior positions acquired by the youths who have emigrated is very remarkable. Out of every hundred discharged at home from the Philanthropic Society at Red Hill, twenty-nine have turned out unsatis factorily ; whilst of those who have emigrated, but seven are entered in the category of failures. The experience gained from the management of the reformatory of which I have already spoken, and the mode by which the above men tioned results have been obtained, lead me to comment upon another but not less important theme, namely, that of the propriety of adopting a different course from that hitherto pursued in the treatment of those whom poverty, msanity, or sickness, compel to seek maintenance in establishments supported by public funds. Hitherto it has been thought best, and probably mnsiderations of mere expense would justify the conclu sion, that the pauper, the orphan, the lunatic, and the sick, should be massed in vast and ever increasing estab lishments, large schools for the children, vast asylums for the insane, great hospitals for the sick. The success attending a contrary system as regards the orphans— namely, that of separating them altogether from all association with pauperism, and committing them to the quasi parental care of private families, seems to indicate that in the kindly protection and education of feeling to be ob tained in the family lie the best hope for the future welfare of those whom misfortune has deprived of parental love. I will bring these remarks to a conclusion with the expression of the hope that in the discussions on these and other subjects, in the several sections, during the ensuing week, the animating spirit which will prevail, will be the single - hearted and sincere desire to 'ameliorate the existing—" rather than," in the words of the great Dr. Chalmers, "to take to pieces the actual framework of society for the purpose of reconstructing it in a new way, and on new principles which is altogether fruitless of good, and often fruitful of sorest evil, both to the happiness and virtue of the commonwealth." My creed is that though nothing is easier and nothing more sure to find favour with popular ignorance and this love of innovation than to ascribe all the sufferings of society to the laws by which it is governed, or the form of the Government entrusted with the administration of those laws, there is a higher and a truer view to be taken. The task undertaken by this association, namely, that of investigating and elucidating the- original sources of the principal evils complained of, will, if it be properly dis charged, make palpable the humbling fact that it is to our own individual misconduct, to our continual abuse of the powers conferred on us in our several ranks and situations, if not against the letter, yet too often against the spirit of these laws—to our own inherent self-will prompting us to follow the dictates of our own desires and appetities, without reference to the consequences either to ourselves or others, that most of them are to be attributed. The cure is frequently within our own grasp, but it requires a power of self-control and self-restraint which no human law can enforce, no human institution do more than en courage. If in the studious and careful inquiry into the sources of the wrongs, the wants, and the sufferings of those around us, and of the feelings to which these give rise, it is granted to it in any degree to assist those who under the constitution of this country are virtually its rulers, in redressing those wrongs, satisfying those wants, and relieving those sufferings thereby diffusing as much of content and goodwill as mere human laws are capable of fostering, it will have, done a good work of which it may well be proud, and I hope my presence here may be accepted by it as a testimony of my sincere wish that its success in this high enterprise may be such as may fulfil the aspirations of its most ardent ambition.
