Mr. Egerton, M.P., distributed the prizes at the Bolton Church Institution, and in the course of his, remarks alluded to the advantages of a higher than primary education. It has been constantly said about the present deplorable war that the real secret of the success of the Germans over the French was-,that their armies were better educated. This went to shew —and there was no doubt, he took it--that, the better education a man received, the more capable he would prove as a defender of his country in case of need ; and' in England they need have no fear that education would take away presence of mind, or cause men to lose courage in battle.

The Times of yesterday morning had th:?. following remarks upon the Council :—" The Cabinet will assemble this afternoon for'the first time since the 10th of August. Great events have occurred in the interim, but we are assured that the members of the Administration knew their own mind so well, and had so dearly determined the line of policy to be pursued by the nation under all circum stances, that there has beer no necessity for them to con sult on what has happened. The statement has been made by one of themselves, and natural modesty, which avoids self-praise, prohablymade it less than the truth, but, taking it even as it stands, we are overwhelmed at the pres cience and foresight of the Ministry. The armies of France have been annihilated. The capitulation of Sedan dwarfs all. previous experience. The_imperis,l regintelas _ . been swept away. A _Provisional Government, called by the populace of Paris to administer the affairs of the nation, has _ proclaimed the Republic, and is practically obeyed wherever FraLce is free from the enemy. But the enemy has overrun the country from the frontier to the capital, and now holds the capital invested and the Provisional Government locked up in it. He threatens more. His advanced guards, confroiting the west and south of France, effectually prevent the relief of Paris, and it seems a question of time when the country, beaten to its knees, will fall pros rate before the foe. Our Ministry, however, had foreseen everything. They knew their own mind. Their prophetic power must be vast and inscrutable, unless, indeed, ' the mind' they boast of is merely a determination that they will, through out all the chances and developments of the war, look upon it as they look upon the struggle between Caesar and Pompey—as a transaction of singular historical curiosity, but separated from us by 200 miles, as the other is by 2,000 years, and, therefore, presenting no possibility of interest or obligation."

Nature has received intelligence of the death of Dr. Augustus Waller, F.R.S., at Geneva. Dr. Waller is best known for his important contributions to the physiology of the nervous system, and especially for the introduction of a new method of investigation applicable to various important objects of neurological inquiry, which, not only as used by himself, but in the hands of others, has tended materially to advance the knowledge of that department. The Quarterly Journal of Science has passed into the hands of Mr. W. Crookes, F.R.S., who will from the pre sent time be sole proprietor and editor. Among the lectures to be delivered during next session before the Exeter Literary Society, are " Recent Researches in Spectrum Analysis," by the Rev. R.

Mr. Edmund Falconer, the actor, has been taken seriously ill at Margate, where he went a day's holiday between Saturday and Monday, and Mr. Sinclair has since played. his character in the drama of " Innisfallen," at the Lyceum Theatre. I understand that the medical advisers called in to attend upon Mr. Falconer, who re mains at Margate, have distinctly told their patient he must never exert himself again either as author or actor. " You take my life when you do take the means by which I live." —E. L. Blanchard. , It appears that the new serial story with which the September number of the Cornhill opened so very refresh ingly, was from the pen of George Meredith, one of the most original and brilliant of our later novelists. Judging from the opening chapters of his fresh and sparkling fiction, " Harry Richmond," it gives promise of eclipsing the merit even of his "Evan Harrington." Charles Lever's new Irish story is the one announced to begin in the October number of the Cornhill, to wit, the tale entitled "Lord Kilgobbin." May it rival in rollicking fun, frolic, and vivacity the harum-scarum, helter-skelter slap dash of " Charles O'Malley," "Jack Hinton," and "Harry Lorrequer," all rolled np together.

Mr. George Odger said be could not endorse Mr. Gladstone's reply. It was both illogical and Whiggish. He could not understand why the English Government should take advantage of a technical objection to refuse its recognition to the French ,Republic, while the Monarchical Govern ments of Italy, Belgium, and Portugal, to say nothing of Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, had acknowledged it. He could not divest himself of the belief that dynastic influence was at work in the matter. From all that he had seen while in France, he could say that the Republic was almost universally acknowledged by the people. He should advise a further pressure upon the English Government, by means of demonstrations and meetings, to induce them to do what he thought was their duty. Resolutions to this effect were carried with slight opposition. DR. LYON PL A YFAIR AT BI BM IN GHAINI. On Thursday night Dr. Lyon Playfair, President of the Midland Institute, delivered in the Town Hall, the inaugural address of the session 1870-1. Dr. Lyon Playfair on rising from his seat was received with cheers. These having subsided, he read an address of which the following is an abstract I do not remember that I ever began an address by a confession of in: ability ; for a man has no right to lecture to an audience unless he is capable, and ought to sink his per sonality in the subject matter before him. But when I began to reflect how I ought to address an assemblage of Birmingham men and women with any fitness to the occa sion for which we are assembled, I frankly confess that I regret ' having accepted the high office which you bestowed upon me. I knew how much I had learned in past times by visiting your manufactories, and how much remains for me to learn from the triumphs of industry in a town where a Watt and a Boulton, a Priestley and a Murdoch, an Elkington ind a Chance, a Muntz, a Hardman and a Winfield have laboured, so that it seemed to me a mockery that my small knowledge of science should be brought in comparison with your great industrial achieve ments. I became the more discouraged when I recollected the character and the ability of the man who occupied the chair at your last meeting. On this subject at least our sympathies are in common, for your esteem and admi tion for our late president are not greater than mine. Charles Dickens was a man of tender heart, who mourned for the sorrows, the injustices, and ills of mankind. He was a man of strong heart, too, and loved la .cruslitheinj U - tices and tear out the ills from society with his righteous indignation. Hence he was an' active social reformer, and produced, by his writings, many more effective reforms than profound politicians. There is scarcely one of his books in which he did not aim to eradicate or amend some evil under which society was suffering. The high admi nistration and the lazy clerks of the Circumlocution Office, the maladministrators of the Poor Law, the pom pous pleaders in courts of law, the dawdlers iu the Court of Chancery, the upholders of all sorts of beadledom, the minister of religion when he was blatant and hypocritical, the professor of philanthrophy when he traded on the woes of mankind, the sinecurist like the deputy chaff wax of the Patent Office, the idle and the criminal who preyed upon the earnings of society—all came under his lash, until they reformed their ways and served society with honesty and efficiency. Charles Dickens was not a mere novelist. A great man, of noble sympathies and beliefs, has de parted from us— one who was of the people, andi worked for the people—for their profit and advantage, as well as for their entertainment and recreation—and who tried to unite all classes of society, because his own breadth covered them all. One of his last public appearances was at our Institute, and our period for mourning has not yet passed away. All these mixed feelings confirmed me in my distrust that I had not done wisely in acting as your president. Bnt gradually I separated myself and my shortcomings from the' subject matter of your imitation, and became emboldened to ad dress you on the intimate union between science and labour. This union is far from being simple. It is not science which creates labour, or the industries flowing from it. On the contrary, science is the progeny of the industrial arts on the one side, and on the other of the experiences and perceptions which gradually attach themselves to these arts. So that the evolution of science • from the arts is the first circumstance of human progress, which, however, quickly receives development and impulse - from the science thus evolved. Industrial labour, then, one of the parents, and science is the child ; but, as often happens in the world, the son becomes richer than the father, and raises his position. It may not be the waste of an hour if we consider these relations more closely. Had I not been frightened with the length of the word, I would have entitled my discourse the inosculation of the arts and sciences. In one sense that means their embrace ; but in another it means junction with open mouths, as when two arteries join and mutually pour their contents into each ether. Well, this word has found a practical expression in the minds of the Birmingham peo ple when they founded this Institute ; and though it is long and pedantic, I will take it after all. The industrial arts spring clearly out of the necessities of man. Man is peculiarly helpless as regards his own personal and physical belongings. With an intellect which, when developed, approaches that of an angel, he has a naked, unprotected body like that of an earthworm. Covered neither with chitine, nor thick hide, nor with fur or feathers, he looks as helpless at his birth as the unfledged gosling ; but, unlike it, never gets a better protection from wind or weather as he grows older. Neither has he any natural tools with which he can labour. A man has neither in hands nor feet tools sufficient for his protection or suste nance. We know of no race of savages so absolutely wild as to possess no arts. One of the rudest races of savages the Mincopies of the Andaman Islands, robe themselves by plastering yellow clay over their bodies ; but even they have arts, for their canoes are large, and fitted for heavy seas, their fishing implements and arrows, and their shell chips for shaving, are effective. Such degraded tribes as the Diggers of the American conti nent, or the Bosjesmans of Africa, have primitive tools and primitive arts, which grow slowly only be cause their surroundings have stunted the development of intellectual observation and application. These are the faculties which enable man to take a position so much higher than that of all the animals around him, notwithstanding their natural physical advantages. Man has sometimes been described as a fire making animal, because none other than he has learned how to use it. Fire occurs naturally under various' circumstances on the earth, so that it wasquite necessary for the ancients to invent the fable of Prometheus, who had to climb for it to heaven and bring it back in a 'narthex staff, or stem of the giant fennel, which has a tinder that would keep it alight. In fact, fire is the essential condition for industrial development, and without it man would be a miserably helpless creature. It is his first substitute for want of fur and feathers as a protection against the inclemency of the weather. It is the origin of all his arts. He throws stones into the fire, and then casts them, when heated, into water, and thus boils his food. Soon he finds out that the water will boil in vessels placed upon the fire ; but the vessels, being made of wood, burn, so he plasters them over with clay ; the clay is baked by the heat, and he thus discovers pottery. Thus, step by step arise the arts—so slowly, indeed, that an acute writer like Archbishop Whateley believed that no savage tribe improved the arts, unless by introduction from another tribe of higher civilisation and culture. This is certainly a mistake. The growth of arts is indeed very slow ; but few savage tribes lose a step in progress when it has been made. The stone age was suc ceeded by the metal age. But in the progress of metallurgy it was comparatively easy to use silver, gold, and copper, which occur native, ready to hand for use ; and a far greater achievement to smelt a metal for its ores. The extraction from an earth involves an immense amount of experience already gained. It does not suffice that the material should be common around you. Clay, for instance, is found in every part of the world, and con tains about half its weight of a useful metal. Yet it is less than twenty years since that we succeeded in extract ing aluminum from clay, so as to use it for industrial pur poses. Dr. Playfair then proceeded to contend that science and art are only developed after long observation and experience ; and that a nation is observant or unobservant according to the necessities of its existence. He con cluded as follows :—lf a nation do not keep herself on a level with scientific discoveries, which are always mak ing and never ending, she must be content to slip back while the world is advancing. • A nation ought to resemble the globe on which we live, by being always in motion. That motion, however, is not merely of one kind, a mere turning round and round on its own axis for ever and ever in the same way. The world, while it does turn round, moves onwards with a rapid resist less sweep. Since I began to address you this evening, our world has moved in rotation only by a few hundred miles, but its onward motion has advanced it more than eighty thousand miles through space. It is this forward advance for which nations should strive. No fear of the progress of the world, though nations should stand still and vanish out of sight. Knowledge does not perish be cause nations decay. Just as an object attracted by the earth falls to it, with an ever-increasing velocity, so does human progress advance with an accelerating speed to wards knowledge. Pascal said truly, " The entire succes sion of men, through the whole course of ages, must be regarded as one man, always living and incessantly learning." This is a true enpression of human progress. Nations, like the ripples on the sand, may stand for a time, or make their impress so permanent that :we find them, as we do ancient ripple marks, in a fossil state, for study in future ages, or they may be obliterated alto gether by a reflux wave ; yet the tide of knowledge is flowing steadily onwards, and will cover the land in its appointed time. The address occupied about an hour and twenty-five minutes in reading. Dr. Playfair was frequently cheered, and resumed his seat amid loud applause. Prince Hassam Paella and Prince Mainnoud Bey landed at Southampton yesterday in the steamer which brought the Indian mails.

The Prince and Princess of Wales visited the Sutheriandshire volunteer competition at the Dunrobin ranges on Wednesday.

The whole building was destroyed, as well as the machinery. The loss is estimated at 210,000. THE FATAL FIRE IN LONDON. An inquest was held yesterday in the schoolroom ad joining the church, Bishopsgate-street, London, on the bodies of James Woolley, aged fifty, John Green, aged sixteen, Martha Turner, aged twenty-three, and Ellen Pope, aged eighteen, who met their death by fire, on Monday last, in Liverpool-street, Bishopsgate. The deceased were in the service of Mr. Bush, manufacturing chemist, on whose premises the fire broke out. The accident appeared to have been caused by the boiling over of some essence of musk in course of distillation which caught fire, and communicated with a large quantity of spirits, the conflagration spreading so rapidly that, notwithstand ing almost instant aid was at hand, the deceased were burnt to death. There seemed to be a considerable feeling among the poorer classes that the fire was caused by negligence, and that the warehouse was not such as should be tole rated in a populous locality, but the jury returned a ver dict of " Accidental death," recommending the heroic conduct of Stephen Byrne, who sustained an injury while endeavouring to save the life of one of the deceased at the peril of his own, to the consideration of the Society for the Protection of Life. LAW AND POLICE. SENDING CHILDREN OUT TO BEG.—Henry Ford and Charles Farrington, two shoeless little fellows, were brought up at Marlborough Street Police-court, before Mr. Knox, charged with begging in the Haymarket, under pretence of selling fusees. Police-constable 147 C stated that about four o'clock that morning he saw the two boys begging in the Haymarket, and one of them told him that if he went home without sixpence he would get a hiding. The children were detained, and the magistrate ordered the parents to be brought up. SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A HOUSE.—John Hyams, a cabman, was charged, at the Westminster Police-court, with cruelly ill-treating a horse. The defendant in a state of intoxication drove and beat the horse most unthercifully until the horse, covered with sweat and foam, bled from the nostrils and hips, and was wealed all over the shoulders. Mr. Woolrych said he had no moral doubt that the pri soner had savagely treated his horse. He should dea with him for the cruelly, and remand him till Tuesday for further evidence as to driving. Bail was refused.
