Although the recent rains which have visited nearly all parts of the country have assisted in improving the aspect of agricultural affairs, prospects, as yet, are by no means encouraging. The hay crop threatens to turn out a failure, unless a plentiful supply of moisture is almost immediately vouchsafed, and all spring-sown corn is still very backward for the time of year. The wheat plant appears to have escaped with the least in jury, and, with the exception of being very stunted in growth, the prospect of affairs is less discouraging. The complaints respecting the backwardness of the crops through the continued drought is not confined to this country. In France, although it is admitted that the late rains have tended to mitigate the injury sustained by the long-prevailing drought, the accounts are still far from favourable. Wheat appears to have suffered least, but it is stated that the rye in many places has been almost entirely lost ; owing to the continued dry weather at the period of its coming into ear, there will be short straw and very small ears. The colza crop, too, has failed. Maize, beet, and potatoes are still safe, but their growth is very slow from lack of moisture. With respect to the hay harvest even half a crop would exceed the expectations now entertained from the parched condition of the meadows. Lean cattle will, it is expected, be cheap; but fat stock, on the other hand, will be exces sively dear. The vines are reported to have suffered greatly from hailstorms, but at present appearances are favourable. The fruit trees in the cider districts promise heavy crops, but unless copious rains should fall within the next week or two agricultural prospects will be very discouraging. From the United States also, the reports are unsatisfactory. The growth is unanimously repre sented as very backward, owing, not so much to the severe weather experienced during the earlier part of the year as to the subsequent unexceptional dryness. Under even the most favourable circumstances the harvest cannot fail to be very late ; but it must also be borne in mind that the plants gene rally are vigorous and of good colour, and doubtless a suc cession of heavy showers would promote a luxuriant and rapid growth, and entirely change the appearance of affairs. There has been a continuance of steadiness in the grain trade during the week. The prospects of a late harvest and the diminishing supplies have strengthened the value of wheat, and notwithstanding that the busi ness has not been brisk an advance of is per quarter has been generally obtained. At present there is every indi cation of the value of wheat being well supported, and unless the prevalent dry weather gives place to a more moist atmosphere it is very evident that a further ad vance will take place. All kinds of flour have tended upwards in value.—Magnet. The appearance of the crops throughout the Fylde, and in the rich agricultural districts lying to the north and south-west of Preston, has been greatly improved by the refreshing rains of the past few days. Wheat has suffered much from grub and wireworm, and though in some places an average crop is expected, in others that is not at all likely, and the quality must be inferior. Pastures are doing well in most parts, and there is at present plenty of top grass. Potatoes are Strong and healthy everywhere, and promise more than an average yield. There has been a magnificent show of bloom for fruit, and a good in gathering of most kinds is expected. In fact, this part of the country never presented a more hopeful appearance for a good harvest than it does now, wheat in some places excepted. —Times. The drought has now become severe throughout the country, the pastures and the green crops generally being much in want of rain. The young wheats have made some progress under the influence of hot forcing weather, but rain is much wanted to stimulate vegetation. The growing crop is now undoubtedly backward, notwithstanding the progress recently made, and every delay will add to the difficulties with which, in our variable climate, the plant has to contend. We do not mean to convey the idea that the crop is in danger of failure, or that the defects now apparent could not be remedied by a fair spell of favour able weather. But the complaints of backwardness and sickly appearance among the new wheats are not confined to the United Kingdom, the position of affairs in many parts of the Continent being apparently more serious. The pastures are in many parts bare of grass, more especi ally in thinly-wooded districts, where sufficient protec tion from radiation is not possible on account of the absence of trees, and great difficulty is experienced in obtaining sustenance for the cattle. As a natural consequence heavy inroads have been made upon the stock of feeding stuffs on hand, and prices have tended upwards for all descriptions. It will be invariably found, however, that such a state of things materially adds to the value of all cereal produce, and imparts a proportionately ' firm tone to the wheat market. All things considered r there was, therefore, ample room for the improvement in values which has taken place, and the question now arise, whether the advance will be maintained, or whether supplies from abroad are likely to be more than equal to the requirements of consumption on this side. —Bell's Weekly aegeoyer. JUNE 7,1870 L MR. FORSTER ON THE EDUCATION BILL. The proceedings at Bradford on Saturday, touching the Education Bill, were interesting and important. Mr. Forster, Vice-President of the Committee of Council was waited upon by a deputation from two public meetings —both representing the views of the National Education League. Several gentleman enforced the views of the League in speeches. Mr. Forster replied to the various strictures offered. After observing that he was in great measure hampered by the reticence due to his superiors, the right hon. gentleman went on to say :—The Rev. Mr. Pilchard made a remark with regard to the delay which he thought existed in the bill, and there, I think, there was some misconception. He has stated that he thought there would not be immediate action on the part of the bill. But there will be immediate action, and I am sure I look forward almost w ith fear and' trembling to the extent of that action whioh will be required from the department with which I have 0 do ; because the first thing is to ascertain exactly the deficiency of education throughout the country, in order that measures may be immediately taken for the pur pose of supplying that deficiency, and not only will it be immediate action but immediate action of the mod qtrin fient and of the most onerous character. Then Mr. Whitehead spoke with regard to the mode of electing the boards. In that he was aware that a good deal of the objection had been met by the amendment put on the table of the House. In the debate on the second reading the objection made to the persons elected and to the mode of-election was -almost__ entirely with referehce to the rural districts, and having been misled by what occurred in my own neighbourhood, I discovered that I had given a plurality of votes where I never intended to do so. The amendment prevents that, and it establishes the ballot. It therefore meets Mr. Whitehead's objection so far as the rural districts are concerned, where I think the objection was most felt. But there I think Mr. Whitehead had not carefully read the Bill, because his argument against the mode of election was mainly on account of the additional labour which it would give a town council which has already got as much in hand as it can do. We do not contemplate the town council itself being the school boa - rd ; all its labour would be to elect the school board, which, I suppose would be done at one sitting , and the reason why we have taken the town council as the electing body is that on the whole it seemed to us—but that is not a matter of vital importance—that the toWn council of -a borough, chosen as it is by household suffrage, would make the best body for electing the school board. We have not limited their power of election ; town councils are not boards to elect their own members—they may elect those that they consider best fitted for the school board. It is, as I say, a question that is eminently open to argu ment in committee, but hitherto I must confess that I have not heard any argument which does not leave me with the conviction that in taking hold of the town council as the body fitted to elect the school board, we are taking hold of the best body. Mr. Forster then proceeded to deal with the question of compulsion :—This matter of compulsion is the only matter upon which anybody has a right to say that I have changed my opinion. Anybody who has studied my previous speeches with regard to education, either here or elsewhere, and fairly judges them by the bill which I now have brought forward, will find in that bill I have corried out every principle that I have previously advocated, with this ex ception, that I have changed my viev?s with regard to compulsion, and I confess I am now convinced that we must rely for the future very much on the principle of direct compulsion. But although I have changed in this matter, although you are of the same opinion, I do no:, believe that it is yet the opinion of the majority of the country by any means, and I think it is doubtful whether the proposal will meet with the acceptance of the House or the general acceptance of the country when carried, but I am convinced that this is eminently a matter in which those who advocate compulsion must take care not to go before the feeling of the country. If yon have a bill at once which will establish compulsion all over England, you will have such an opposition to that attempt as would probably make it impossible to work it. I have very little doubt, if the bill passes as it stands, Man chester would put the compulsory principle in forcy, and I believe that, if Manchester would take it in hand, it would work so well as to tempt other places to follow the example, and also give the Government power, by the support of public opinion, to apply it over the whole country. But that, again, is a question on which we should be very glad to see the feeling of the House when we go into committee. lam not in the slightest degree saying anything disrespectful of the advocates of direct compulsion, when. I say that no Government can at once pass such a m easure simply because of their declaration in its favour. The next question—that of free schools—was brought for ward by Alderman Cole who gave a very ingenious and apposite illustration of the case of the rich man and the poor man. I don't think that the rich parent or his child would be able to despise the poor man or the poor child be'canse the latter had his pence paid for him. You must remember tbat in all these schools only one third of the entire cost is paid for even by the rich parent; so that there would be a great absurdity in the child of the rich man throwing it in the teeth of the poor child that the State provided the whole of his education, when, at the same time, he himself would be receiving two-thirds of it from the same source. Mr. King says that, after paying the rate, it would be a very unreasonable thing for the working man to be obliged to pay the pence for his own children. I say that is not an unreasonable thing at all. I venture to say that what he would pay in the way of rates would be nothing to the value he receives. Take the case of a man who occupies a house of £lO a year rent, and who has three children ready for school. He pays a rate of three-pence in the pound—the maximum rate contem plated under the bill—which would amount to 2s. 6d. a year. I say that man has no right to come for Ward and say—" I perform my duty to my children for half-a-crown a year." I say that above that, if he is able he ought to pay twopence a week for his three children. There may be cases when the parents are unable to pay the pence, and then our bill provides that they shall be assisted. On the religious question I really can not' do more than just explain the principles upon which the bill was brought forward. The first of these principles was that the State, meaning by the State the Imperial Go vernment, should not in any way interfere in religious education. That is carried out in this bill as it was in those bills that Mr. Bruce and I brought forward in 1867 and 1868, and if anything it is more carried out in this bill, because here we have at once done what we only contem plated carrying out in the previous bills—we. have abolished the religious inspection of Church schools, and consequently no money of the State can be paid for finding out whether any religious teaching be given or not. But while we think it right to carry out' this principle we would not prevent any . parents who wished it to have religious teaching given to their children by the same schoolmaster and in the same school as the other teaching is given. These are the two principles which have been carried out in the bill ; and when the time comes I shall be prepared to vin dicate either before you, or before the House of Com mons, my belief that in carrying them out we have in no ?way transgressed the principle of religious equality. Remember this, that although you may say you dislike religious teaching, there are very many parents who may like it, and if we were to say by Act of Parliament that they should not be allowed to do this, they would feel there was a great injustice forced upon them. I merely say this in ex planation of my views in bringing forward this measure. The objections stated to it here and in the country, cwith regard to the difficulty of leaving this matter to school boards, deserve the best attention, and the Government are . prepared most closely to consider them in co mmittee. It IS, however, becoming more and more the conclusion of all those who have studied the question, that it would —as I ventured to state in bringing the bill forward—be a monstrous thing if in a Christian country the Bible, and not merely Bible reading, but Bible teaching, was excluded from the day schools You will not be surprised at my saying that, although it has always . been a great pleasure to me to find myself agreeing upon important questions with my constituents, and although it has always been very painful to me to find myself differing from them—and few things have given me greater pain than to find that, upon this matter, I am supposed to disagree with some of my warmest friends yet his is a question of infinitely too much importance to the country for me to do anything except what I feel to be right. I should regret if you continue to differ froth me ; but I still believe that when you have weighed all the arguments on both sides and have endeavoured to put yourselves in my position, and in the position of the Government, you will not strongly differ from me, if at all. But if you were to do so, whatever be the conse quences, I should not be fit to be your representative an hour longer if I allowed this to weigh with me on such a matter for one moment. The question is one of the most important. Its importance I endeavour to realise. It is my duty to come to the best conclusion possible, and I can only state that I shall be guided to the conclusion simply by what I consider to be my conscientious duty. Our Taunton correspondent states that the recent paragraph describing a trapeze accident at Cook's Circus Taunton is incorrect. No such accident has occurred. THE MORDAUNT CASE.—The statement is re peated that Sir Charles Mordaunt intends to appeal from the' decision of the Court of Divorce to the House of Lords at the earliest opportunity, and thus to endeavour to obtain a bearing of his suit against Lady Mordaunt. THE FACTORY ACTS AND THE PRINTING TRADES. —We understand that the Secretary of State (Mr. Bruce) has resolved to collect statistics relating to the letter press printing and other trades embraced by the Factory Acts Extension Act. The information will be collected by the Factory Department, and will be published only in the gross, returns from individual employers being re garded. as strictly confidential.—Printers' Register. MISS, MORGAN, M.D.—Miss Frances Elizabeth Morgan, M.D., who lately took her degree at Zurich, and now holds an appointment as under-assistant in the General Hospital of Vienna, is mentioned as having been present on the 30th ult. at the distribution of prizes in the great hall of the University. This is the first instance of the admission of a woman to the annual meetings of the Academy of Vienna. The Neue Freie Prase, in reporting this incident, describes Miss Morgan as an American lady. It appears that she is an Engli h , woman, • PRICE 1(1 STAMPED 9d, PARIS CORRESPOND EN C 141 SUNDAY EVENIN4., The 011ivier Ministry have been in great perplexity, but they have so far weathered the storm. M. 011ivier has shewn himself equal to the emergency, and con trived to check themovements of his adversaries. Friday's debate in the Corps L6gislatif is not a day to be for gotten readily. M. Duvernois moved an amendment to the effect that the speech of every councillor should be published with his own name. M. ' 011ivier opposed it, and the result was a most mor tifying defeat, the minority, which included M. 011ivier, only numbering eighteen, and the majority being 197. Another struggle ensued on the question as to whether the public be allowed to be present during the deliberations of the Council, and here again the Government was defeated, they being 83 against 117. M. 011ivier did the best thing he could under the adverse circum stances in which he was placed. He informed the Corps Legislatif at yesterday's sitting that no position was more attacked or more difficult than that of the Ministry. It found itself every day at issue with various factions 111 the Chamber, who made inad missible demands. The Cabinet was still the Cabinet of the 2nd of January, to all intents and purposes. It -wag_slevoting all its powers to the task which it had received from the SoveTergit, the Chamber, and the nation—of establishing a peaceful Arrol durable liberty without revolution or disturbance. He waked the Chamber to decide upon their position. M. jerome David having complained of the course taken by Ministers, M. 011ivier said :—The Ministry respected the rights of the Chamber, but their opponents should respect the rights of honest men who devoted them selves to a ' difficult task. He concluded by saying "Our position is a false one and we seize the first opportunity to extricate ourselves from it. (` The occasion is a bad one.') lam told the occasion is a bad one. I reply that no opportunity is bad when the object is to decide upon an equivocal position. (Tres bien.) I appeal to this assembly—even to the Opposition, to those who have favoured the Parliamentary system — to say whether it is not the right—nay, the obliga tion, of a Ministry, when it finds that a certain portion of the majority has fallen away from it to call at once for a. declaration of confidence in order that every one may de clare his opinion freely. We have not had enough of power ; we are ready to abandon it ; but in order not to incur the odium of deserting our duties, we can only yield at the command of the Sovereign or of the Cham ber. If we do not inspire you with confidence, say so." M. Bethmont propceed to withdraw his amendment re specting the right of holding public meetings, but the Ministerial members insisted upon having a vote to esta blish the confidence of the Chamber in the Government. The order of the day was unanimously agreed to. As may be expected, these stirring scenes have given rise to variouS rumours and conjectures. The Independance Beige, writing before the result of the sitting of yesterday was known, says that only three weeks • have passed since the great Imperial victory, - and already the Ministry which organised that victory and expected to reap its results is more shaky than ever. If parties were so organised that it was pos sible to find another Cabinet, the present Aministration would not endure through the Session. The Senate is not much more favourably disposed than the Corps Ltlgis latif, and' the Independance thinks it likely that the Ministers will avoid some of their difficulties by drawing up a new electoral law with a view to a general election. Yesterday morning the excitement in political circles _ was very great, and the fall of the Ministry was confi dently looked for. It was even said that three or four Ministers had wished to give in their resignations, and that M. 011ivier had some trouble in turning them from their purpose. The Siecle is in exultation, and asks even now how long the Cabinet is likely to last. It is crumbling, it avers, under the burden of its own mistakes. The time is past when M. 011ivier was constantly offering to resign his post. He knows well enough that the resignation would be welcome, and he lives on from day to day waiting until the Corps L4gislatif puts the finishing stroke to this Ministry of the Greek Kalends, which has no root in the country. The Debats refrains from commenting on the victory achieved by the union of Right and Left, but asks why, since the Right has become sufficiently con verted to Liberalism to satisfy the Left, why the Cabinet did not seize the opportunity and take the initiative in this matter of the Conseils G4neraux ? Why need it shew itself more conservative than the Conservatives, more royalist than the king? The Debate hopes the result will induce M. 011ivier to assume fresh ground, for he will not find it difficult to distance MM. Duvernois and Pinard, Baron J6rome David, or M. Granier de Cassagnac. The Left have held two meetings—one on Friday even ing, at which M. Buffet spoke strongly in favour of sup porting the Cabinet, and one yesterday, in the Chamber itself, convened by M. d'Andelarre. It was decided that the lesson administered to the Cabinet was sufficiently strong, and that the Left would vote with M. 011ivier in a question of confidence. The result of this, you know. M. Gr4vy has written to M. Picard declaring that the Radical Left cannot unite with M. Picard's seventoen unless they completely disavow the sentiments and speeches attributed to them. The Carnarvon Herald states that Mr. Bright's health continues steadily to improve, and the right hon. gentleman is able to take regular walking exercise, the weather being mild and favourable. THE CAVALRY SWORD PRlZE.—Orders have been issued from the War Office that a prize of £3 for the best swordsman in each troop of cavalry in which thirty men compete will be substituted for the squadron prize of the same amount formerly granted. The Church of Ireland was yesterday to base pro ceeded to elect Synodsmen, who will for the next three years constitute the several Diocesan Synods. To these bodies will be relegated in great part the task of organising the machinery of the Church in their respective dioceses. Liverpool has lost another of her merchant princes, Mr. Robert Rankin, shipowner, who died at his residence, Bromborough Hall, on Friday night, aged 69 years. He was for many years a member of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, and was on the commission of the peace for the borough. The Bishop of Manchester preached a sermon at Halliwell on Sunday, in aid of the Sunday schools. His lordship pronounced emphatically in favour of religious education, and declared that the friends of the secular system grossly exaggerated facts and difficulties. Chris tianity he declared to be the foundation stone of all true education. A certain lady in Bangor, a few days since, having begun housekeeping in a new house, sent her Irish maid of-all-work upstairs, telling her to take out and clean the windows. Biddy disappeared in the upper regions, and all was quiet. In a little while, however, Madame, the housekeeper, went up to see how the window cleaning was progressing, and to her horror found that the blun dering girl had minutely followed her directions ; for the putty being soft she had dug out every pane of glass, and after washing them carefully, had piled them up on the floor ! A TRAGEDY PREVENTED.— It is a gratifying novelty to be able to announce the frustration, instead of the success, of a murder design. Such an event has taken place at Shepton Mallet, Somersetshire. It would seem that a woman named Ann Chappell, who was at one time in very good circumstances, and kept the Mitre Inn m that town, had, in a great measure owing to her own misconduct, suffered a reverse of fortune, and had been obliged to obtain refuge in the union. This fact would seem to prey upon her mind, for towards the end of last week her mother, who resides at Evercreech, received a letter from her, in which she stated that she was tired of it, and had resolved to ask leave to go out, and should then take her three children into a certain field, which she named, and put an end to them and herself altogether. The mother, knowing her daughter's temperament, took alarm at this threat, and lost no time in forwarding the letter to the master of the workhouse. That functionary put himself in communication with the police, and it was resolved to keep an eye upon her movements. On her asking the leave for herself and the children, as she had threatened she would do, it was granted, and Police sergeant Elms was sent for, and it was arranged that he should follow her closely. She took her offspring in the direction she had indicated, and at the moment that the officer thought that she was about to effect her wicked purpose, he rushed upon and arrested her. He found that she had armed herself with a large and sharp pair of scissors, and it is feared that she purposed murdering the little innocents with that. She is now in custody, and expresses her intention of murdering the children as soon as released,
