We lately made a few observations to show that the priesthood are totally unfit to be en trusted with any control over the education of the people. We should be sorry if it were thence to be inferred that we think the control of education should be placed in the hands of the Government. Our opinion is different, and we should be disposed to leave education, like trade, in a state of freedom. We notice the sub ject, because we see it broadly laid down by an E:eaing CJntemporary that Government has two leading duties to fulfil—first, to super intend national education, so as to train up a population to the enjoyment of rational liberty, and the maintainance of public order—(we hope to see this carried out on a larger scale than has hitherto been accomplished ; and, secondly, to frame lass for the maintainance of both these national blessings, and the punishment of those that infringe upon them. We cannot assent to either of these proposi tions, and, in paiticular, we cannot agree to the assertion that it is the chief duty of Government to superintend the national education and train up a population to the enjoyment of rati ona l liberty. Betbre discussing the point we will venture to notice that the word Government seems to be used both to sig nify the Executive and the Legislative powers, for it is described as superintending, which can only be imperfectly done by the Legis lature, and, to be effectual, must be done by the Executive ; and it is described as framing laws, which is exclusively the duty of the legisla tive power. It is more easy to trace the source of the jumble, which we notice to avoid con fusion, than defend it. It is, in fact, a copy from practice. The Ministers, for the time being, are the Executive Government, and as they chiefly submit Bills to the Parliament, which passes their Bills in preference to all others, as long as they retain its confidence, they are a lso the law-makers. Their double functions are represented by the word Government. The definition is of itself valuable, for it at once warrants the conclusion here in England, what ever it might do in Prussi a , th at t h e Minis ters for the time being ought not to have the su perintendance of national education, and the framing of laws to ensure that and all other de sirable things. At present the Ministers are the organs of the Parliament, the Parliament is composed exclu sively of the aristocratic classes, and all the de mocratic classes would be opposed to in .creasing the power of the aristocracy. The 'Globe objects to the Chartists providing for their own education and the education of their children and fellow-workmen, because that would train men in their peculiar opinions ; but this objection applies with much greater force to the aristocracy taking by law the control of the education of all classes into their hands. They would train up a ll t h e ot h er c l asses t o be 'servile to them. In the opinion of the Chartists both th e L eg i slature an d the I Executive, as now constituted, have already too much power ; an to win their sanc tion to a scheme of national education, planned by the Legislature and carric 1 into execu tion by the Executive, it will be indispensa- ble first to make the Charter the law of the land. There may be some reason in the present existence of a different order of things why we thould refuse to give effect to the Charter ; but we have no desire to see a new scheme adopted, on the recommendation of a few theorists, which would be sure to encounter the hostility of all the unrepresented. A more certain means of increasing the existing alienation, and of bringing about great disorder, could scarcely be devised. When we find it asserted that Government must superintend education, and frame laws for the maintenance of public order, we are driven to inquire into the fitness of the Government for the task. School education is only a small, and, in our estimation, the least important part, of the education which is required for youth of both sexes. Besides that, there is the domestic and moral education, and the apprenticeship to a trade, or the bread-winning education. What can Government—whether we speak of the Ministers, or the few gentlemen, all of one class, who compose the Legislature—know of the best means of educating the females of various classes and conditions for household and other labour, and our males for seamen, engineers, cotton-spinners, ploughmen, &c. &c.? They can know little or nothing on the subject, and they would be led by the nose, as they are now led, by some strong-willed, dogmatic, quackish, self seeking persons under the name of Commis sioners. They would fancy, as they now fancy, they were making laws and giving effect to their own will, when, in fact, they would be only carrying out, as very humble instru ments, the schemes of some artful or mis chievous enthusiast. Government, then, which is constituted to protect the rights of individuals, not like a parent to train up subjects as if they were children, seems to us incapable of superin tendiug national education to advantage; and were it to undertake the task it would only become an instrument in the hands of some clever schemers. Perhaps, however, when the word " national" is used nothing more is meant than the educa tion of the poor. The lower classes are to be trained. That we understand. That we can se through. Laws are to be framed to punish them if they are not ,strictly obedient under all kinds of sufferings, and to whatever may be the will of the aristocracy. National education means, then, only the education of the working classes, and that is to be superintended by an aristocratic Government to the greatest possible extent, in order to make the working classes the quiet slaves of the governing aristo cracy. We hope the working classes will have spirit and wisdom enough to prevent the con summation of such a design ; and we take the Chartist scheme of encouraging the people to provide education for themselves, as an earnest, both of their determination to prevent that, and of their certain success. We are afraid that our Contemporary, when he talks of framing laws, confounds obedience to the aristocracy with public order. There is no aristocracy in the United States, but there is public order. The two things are not there fore inseparable. A few centuries ago public order in Europe consisted of feudal sla very ; but now another kind of public order reigns, which seems, in its main features, less the result of positive institutions than of that pro gress which upset the reign of the feudal Barons and established the present mixed regime of the upper and middle classes in its stead. What may be considered public order a hundred, or even twenty years hence, it is impossible to say; and how can the Government, which must be igno rant of that, train up the people to be prepared for it? What would happen, we believe, would be this. To preserve its own power as long as pos sible would be the object of Government, and it would endeavour to train men up to that end. If it could wall in the country, the great mis chief which it would cause might be unknown, but a trading community like ours cannot be so shut up. Our society would and must share the general progress. It would imitate the good in other States ; it would outgrow, as it has already outgrown, the Government; and the more that extended its power, the more it attempted to train the people according to the will of some education-mongers, the greater would be the mischief when the public order, forced forward by the progress of society in opposition to the Government, could no longer be resisted. We are as little dis posed, therefore, to place national education under the control of the Government, as to place it in the hands of the priests, and see no sure hope of peace and prosperity except in leaving the people—who are, probably, as wise as the Government—for this purpose to educate themselves. We must again direct attention to the admir able tactics and perseverance of the Anti-Corn law League. A meeting was held at Manches ter, of deputies from the different Anti-Corn law Associations, on Thursday, an account of which appears in another part of The Sun. It was then resolved to summon a meeting of the League in London, whenever Mr. VILLIERS shall bring forward his motion on the Corn-laws. It was also resolved that the deputies, when they come to London, shall wait personally on the Members of the House of Commons, to ascer tain their views on the bread tax. If the depu ties carry out this resolution, they will ascertain the motives, as well as the votes of the Members, and be able to instruct the Anti-Bread-taxers, throughout the kingdom, to choose proper re presentatives at the next general election. We have no doubt, however, that the members of the League will work this part of their scheme as well as the other parts of it. They are zealous, straightforward men, whose interest in the ques tion amounts to a passion ; and they have got hold of a principle which inspires them with en thusiasm. From month to month, from day to day, the language of the League has become more direct and energetic. They speak truth with authority, and their words find an echo in the human heart, exciting ghastly fear in some, and glowing hope in others. Mr. VILLIERS said of the League, with equal truth and justice,— And if we have been able to make converts and rouse men from indolence and ignorance upon this subject, when we con sider what gigantic power is opposed to us—a power which derives its influence from its social position, and its pecuniary means, can you see any reason why our efforts should not suc ceed?—(Cheers.) And it is owing to the energy and sacri fices of various kinds that have been made in this district, and by many gentlemen around me, for which we are indebted to the disclosure of facts—the circulation, and disclosure, and the impression upon the public mind of facts connected with these laws—that I believe no subtlety, or ignorance, or clamour will ever be sufficient to suppress or efface.-4 Hear, hear.) And, Gentlemen, I am satisfied that if their contemporaries do not appreciate the services of the League, they will be appreciated by posterity. Their services are appreciated now; their op ponents confess their power by revilings, and their friends by their hearty approbation. One excellent effect has followed their bold, straight eoosreedpteoa lte the and the Chartists . f orwar d conduct. It has gone a l ong way to procure for the m the support of the work ing c l asse s, and to reconcilelatthteer Corn-law ar p p The Legislature, which is chiefly honest e nthusiasm, which is likely composed of land lords ; and an have organised ato affect them, will be doubl y welcomed, di rected against those w ho legis lative system of plunder. Th e workmen, we b e lieve, are therefOre coining over to the Corn law at Repealers, and the Liverpool Opera tive As sociation was appropriately Man chesterrepresented by Mr. DUFFY. It is impossible that the working classes should not be deeply affected by the bold, moral principles espoused by the League, and should not become the zealous sup porters of the total and immediate repeal of the tax on bread. They have hung aloof for some time, because they have mistrusted the League, but that mistrust will vanish before sincere lan guage, and all the industrious classes will, ere long, unite to throw off the tax, which the idle landlords have dared to levy on their bread, and the restrictions they have not been ashamed to impose on industry and enterprise. We publish to-day a second letter on the subject of the tenure of land, and on the rela tion between landlords and labourers. Such letters are a very significant sign of the great interest which the people take in the subect. The landlords know best whether their right so founded in undeniable and eternal justice that it will bear the strict investigation, which they are now forcing the suffering people to undertake. If it be not so founded, as all property now mainly de pends for its validity on the consent of others, they will rue the day on which they ex cited the people, by their arrogant, unjust pre tensions, to search into their titles. Those who have examined the question most will give them the least encouragement to persevere. That their property be protected it is essential that they respect the property of others. From this golden rule they have departed, and have set an example of class rapacity, which cannot fail to beget imitation, and from the imitation of which they have the most to lose. The communication from Weymouth, which appears in another part of the paper, will be read with painful interest by every sincere friend of the Established Church. The proper deport ment of the defendants, and the very reasonable plan they suggested for setting the question at rest, contrasts strongly with the arrogant and per secuting spirit of those employed for the recovery of the Church-rates. Had the proctor and church wardens been bribed to throw additional odium on this harrassing and unjust tax, and make Dis senters hate more and more this lordly Church Establishment, with its wealthy Bishops, rebel lious Deans, meddling Clergy, and Popish doc trines, they could not have taken more certain means for effecting the purpose. The imprison ment of fifty THOROGOODS could not give such a heavy blow to the Church, as has been inflicted by her injudicious supporters at Weymouth. it will rouse to battle even the mild and peaceable Quakers. We refer our readers to the report of the proceedings, that they may judge for them selves. The following important intelligence is taken from the Augsburg Gazette of the 11th inst. : CO N STA NTI N PL R 24.—Accounts from Teheran of the 14th of February, received by way of Trebisond, bring the important intelligence, " That the differences that existed between Persia and England are entirely 'ettled, the Shah of Persia having declared himself ready to restore the fortress of Gurian, which was taken by his troops in the last war." In consequence of this the British Ambassador was imme diately to return to Teheran. Madrid Journals of the 7th inst. have been received. On that day the Senate formed a House and voted thanks to the army fbr the ser vices it had rendered Spain. The report of the Committee pronouncing the legality of Queen CHRISTINA'S abdication was also adopted. The Chamber of Deputies stood adjourned till the 10th inst. On the Bourse the Fives were at 25 13-16 for cash, and 26 5-16 tbr sixty days. The whole of the Paris Journals of Wednes day have reached us. The only political news of importance found in them is embodied in the fol lowing paragraph, which we copy from the Temps:— , 4 We give the following fact a.; official : " The Five Powers who signed the Convention of London, prepared a treaty of defensive alliance against France. Lord Palmerston wished that it should be signed immediately. Lord Melbourne, more prudent, communicated it to King Leopold, his habitual mediator in those kind of communications. Leo pold, in his turn, informed the principal person interested. This put an end to all irresolution, and we re-enter the Euro pean concert, on condition that the other Powers will renounce the idea of forming an alliance against us." if the debate in the Chamber of Deputie s failed to elicit the secrets of the Cabinet, it helped Europe to another exposition of the po licy of M. TRIERS. N othing more remarkable has appeared for many months in the columns of the Journals, than the speech delivered by that gentleman on Tuesday. Crowded as are our columns, we must endeavour to make room for the substance of this remarkable speech, in which the ex-Minister so well depicts the dishonesty of his policy : _ _ _ M. Thiers rose and said—The Hon. M. Guizot has declared that he never concealed his policy, neither did I ever conceal mine. Therefore it is the more necessary now to put an end to what 1 call a comedy.—(•' A comedy on your part, indeed," exclaimed a voice.) some people have denied that we had in terests in the east. Marshal Sebastiani here observed that they were right. M. '1 hiers thought, on the contrary, they were wrong. A Foreign Minister, who was as good a judge of the French interests as the French themselves, said to a French Ambassador, " We see what at bottom is the true policy of France on the Eastern question ; this policy is not European. France possesses the north of Africa ; she has an army there of 70,000 men. Close to her are the Pa chas of Tunis and of Tripoli—poor Mussulmen Princes who tremble before France. And a little farther there is the Pacha of Egypt, who possesses the Red Sea and the Euphrates. This France commands, directly by the north of Africa, indi rectly by her alliance with the Pacha of Egypt, from the en trance 01 the Mediterranean and the Straits of Gibraltar to the Red Sea and the Euphrates. Such a state of things cannot suit us." There were three lines of conduct to pursue in this ques tion. The first was to propose immediate war on the Eastern question. The second was that of the note of the Bth of Oc tober, so much blamed. In what consisted this polie/ ? The policy of the note of October the Bth, was first for lc ranee to get time to make her war preparations. During this time the Pacha might suffer reverses ; the note provided for them. It did not abandon Syria ; but it foresaw that while France remained quiet, the Pacha might suffer. But the French Cabinet wanted to save the chief portion, the foun dation of the Egyptian power. The loss of yria certainly hurt French pride. But, in reality, the Pacha lost therein a position much more considerable for France than fur himself —that is, a position commanding the passage of the Euphrates and the Persian gulf. But, for the Pacha himself, Arabia and Syria were sources rather of weakness and expense than of power. The Pacha, if he remained true and real sovereign of Egypt, despite of the vassality, that is, having a fleet, army, Sze. was still a useful ally for prance. And h knew this so well, that he was rejoiced at the note of the Bth of October. But what did we want? To negotiate with serious means for the object demanded by the note of the Bth October. We knew that two of the fuwers were supporting interests not their own, and yielding merely to anti-revolutionary prejudices. It was therefore we resolved on a serious armament. With this force we should have obtained some concession, but you, with your four hundred thousand men, have obtained no thing. For the Pacha, instead of being Sovereign of Egypt, is degraded into the situation of a dependent functionary. I comprehend that Syria is set aside. I would blame your sign ing any condition with respect to Syria, since it would be shar ing with lour other Powers a protectorate that France pos sessed alone. As to interdicting the passage of the Dardanehes to armed vessels, it was nonsense. For time out of mind it was forbidden to traverse internal waters, and this prohibition is a law of nations. If anythini , was meant by the Treaty it meant to prevent the English from going to attack Se bastopol, and the Russians from going to attack the lonian Islanus—events that we should desire, not prevent: It was wrung at this moment to prejudge what alliance France would attach. I regret the bream) of the English alliance-1 am disinclined to the Russian alliance. But were it wise to re turn to the English alliance, it is neither wise nor dignified to say so or do so now. There was evidently a league forming against France, in case France refused to sign ; and to en• force it, the Treaty is signed. This 1 deprecate. The mo ment that one Cabinet says to its predecessor, " You were for war and we for peace," from the moment that such means were used fur procuring a majority—from that moment all force is lost to the country. So Turkey was to be dismembered for the be nefit of France ! The patriotic TRIERS had re solved upon declaring MEHEMET ALI King of Egypt, provided he was prepared to recognise in the person of Louis PHILIPPE the virtual Sovereign of Syria! Oh; M. THIERS ! M. THIERS ! You have made a sad business of it. You are, after all, but a clever political moun tebank. In a few days M. Humann, the Minister of Finance, will present to the Chamber of Deputies a project of law for the suppression of the six mints which still remain at Lille, Rouen, Nantes, Bayonne, and Strasburgh. The same project of law will ask, it is seen, for a special vote of credit for four millions to enlarge the Mint at I-aria, and to add to the machinery. It seems to be decided that all the coin is to be coined in future by means of steam-engines, by presses with plan of Thonnelier. It seems that the fetes on occasion of the baptism of the Count de Paris, will be deferred for some days. The grand concert in the gallery of the Louvre will not take place till after the 10th of May. The Prince de Joinville set out last night for St. Omer. Mr. D--- calling himself homme de lettres had come some time ago to inhabit a lone house in the com mune of Montrciuge. Yesterday Mr. Gabelateau, Com missary of Police of that commune, went to the house of Mr. D—, where he seized a chest containing pis tol bullet moulds and some powder. A letter from Mont pelier says that the preliminary proceedings against Numa Raymond, on account of threatening letters addressed by a secret society to a rich merchant of 31ontpelier, requiting him to remit the sum of 50,000 francs, are going on without inter mission. .Several persons have been arrested at Montpelier, Nismes, Marseilles, and other towns in the south. The Journal of the Eure and Loire of the 15th says, it is reported that the three companies of the centre of the National Guard of Evreux are disbanded, and that the Royal ordinance his been received at the prefecture. We shall wait for the official account to judge of tins measure. —Le Commerce. A SCENE IN TILE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIt:S. The National observes that during the debate on the supple mentary credits in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, when ogisi,Ledw deG harmoniouserecnritees, when ever M. Titters criticised the feeble policy of M. Guizot, the his gave his totheir Le b re el b l v o r w e i nj alone upon his bench, flourished his wooden knife in token of defiance, and M. Jacques in chorus with his colleagues. M. Dangerville passed through centres _ he centres from top to bottom screamed several fits of frenzy. T Piscatory turned round in a rage to out " Order, order !" a stout rioter with white hairs, and by no means a white pocket handkerchief, who repelled the interference with indignation. The conqueror of Austerlitz alone, leaning on his e lb ow, was wrapt in meditation in the deaf man midst of the confusion, lik e a around man who is unconscious of a stormraginghim. M . Guizot found it necessary to ascend the tribune, and giv e t h e with unbounded torrent another direction, and was received fatigued.

The debat e the items was declared to be concluded, and they passed to A few members alone re composing the credit, demanded. mained, and millions upon millions were voted without a - tingle otFervation.

The private letters from America give rattier an un favourable view of monetary inara:ter;, but no:ice in some branches of trade a slight increase of activity. No perm.- nent and extensive improvement in this respcct is expected befcre the political questions now pending beween the two countries are in a fairer train of settlement.

On Wed nesday evening she again departed for Boston, with sixty-four passengers on board. COMMERCE OF HALIFAX.—There have been, exclusive of coasters, 152 vessels cleared out for foreign voyages, and about 100 entered at this port since the Ist January last, making an excess of 41 vessels outward, and six or seven inward, over the report for the corresponding quarter of last year. 'I he mail of Saturday brought accounts of another melan choly and disastrous fire at St. John's, New Brunswick. Ac cording to the accounts, it appears it had laid waste eight fine stores on the east side of Prince William-street, with several buildings in the rear, and, melancholy to relate, has resulted in the loss of several lives. _ _ _ The Ha mburgh Mail of the 13th April has arrived with papers of the same date, bringing the Exchange upon London 13 144, same as per last arrival.

LiTERATUA E. 13 ELLS AND POAIEG RA IVA 'LE ,N Maxon, Lor,c6,n, 1841. Brownin, , , the, ataboy " Parace,” will not, we Teal, add inueh tt) iii, repinaion by this dramatic atewpt, which he entitles " Pippa Passas "—why or wherelbre, we are utterly at a loss to determine—and which, it seems, is the first of a series of plays intended to be carried on under the equally enigmatical title of " Belts and Pomegranates." The best, or at any rate the most intelligible, account we can give of the pre sent dramatic effort is, that it is a collection of scenes, strung together without rhyirie or reason ; and that at the termination ofeacli scene, a young Italian girl, by name " Pippa" is heard singing, or talking in a dialect which, in places, strongly , reminds us of the late Mr. Irving's " Unknown Tongues." The play, in fact, is throughout a quaint riddle, and as we are not (Edipus, but simple Dawns, we cannot undertake to solve it. Yet there are some fine things in the drama; one scene in particular, between a woman and her paramour, after the murder of the furmer's hus band, exhibits a play of the passions of alternate tenderness and remorse, which satisfies us that the author possesses sterling dramatic powers. There are also several poetic passages in the piece—a few of which we proceed to extract at random. And first, here is a speech of a roman tic youth to his mother, the descriptive touches in which are excellent Last year's sunsets and great star s That had a right to come first and see ebb The crimson wave that drifts the sun away-- Those crescent moons with notched and burning rims That strengthened into sharp fire, and there stood Impatient of the azure—and that day In March a double rainbow stopped the gorm— May's warm, slow, yellow moonlit summer nights— Gone are they, but I have them in my soul." There is much simple truth and force in the following apostrophe addressed by an enthu siastic young sculptor to his mistress, who is sit ting with him in his studio, while he is endea vouring, but in vain, to proceed calmly and me thodically with his statue of Tydeus : " Oh, my life to come? My Tydeus must be carved—tis there in clay-- But how be carved, with you about the chamber? Where must I place you ? When I think that once This room, full of rough block-work, seemed my Heaven Without you! Shall I ever work again ? Get fairly into my old ways again?— Bid each conception stand while, trait by trait, My hand transfers its lineaments to stone ? Will they, my fancies, live near you, my truth? The live truth—passing and repassing me— Sitting beside me ?" • SUMMER MORNING. Hayward, London, 1841. Mr. Miller is a poet who has studied in the best school—that of nature. All his images are drawn fresh from life, and suggested by his own feelings, instead of being gleaned, second-hand, from ideas supplied by his poetic predecessors. This is particularly the case with his descriptions of natural scenery, and the various emotions they excite, in which it is plain to see that the author has himself witnessed and felt all that he so . simply and forcibly paints. His " Summer Morning" is a poem wholly of a descriptive cha racter ; it is a series of homely rural pictures, selected with great skill; vividly, but not taw drily, coloured; and finished with the care of Newton's miniature paintings. We give a few passages, which will serve to impress the reader with a• highly favourable idea of Mr. Miller's poetic powers : On the far sky, leans the old ruined mill, Thro' its rent sails the broken sunbeams glow, Gilding the trees that belt the lower hill, And the old thorns which on its summit grow. Only the ready marsh that sleeps below, With its dwarf hushes, is concealed from view ; And now a straggling thorn its head cloth show, Another half shakes off the smoky blue, Just when the dusty gold streams thro' the heavy dew. And there the hidden river lingering dreams, You scarce can see the banks which round it lie ; That withered trunk, or tree, or shepherd seems, Just as the light of fancy strikes the eye. Even the very sheep which graze hard by, So blend their fleeces with the misty haze, They look like clouds shook from the unsunned sky, Ere morning o'er the eastern hills did blaze— The vision fades as they move further on to graze. What varied colours o'er the landscape play I The very clouds seem at their ease to lean— And the whole earth to keep glad holiday. The lowliest bush that by the waste is seen, Hath changed its dusky for a golden green In honour of this lovely summer-morn : The rutted roads did never seem so clean, There is no dust upon the wayside thfirn, For every bud looks out, as if but newly born ! The tines which we have marked in italics, possess infinite poetic beauty. The word " dreams" as applied to the river, is quite Spelt serian ; and the line, " The very clouds seem at their ease to lean," conveys as perfect an idea of repose as could possibly be suggested by the imagination. The freshness, too, and the beauty of the early morning landscape are happily il lustrated by the image of the buds looking out, "as if but newly born." We quote one more passage, which is remarkable for its cheerful, animated character : How sweet those rural sounds float, by the hill ! The grasshopper's shrill chirp ring's o'er the ground, The jingling sheep-bells are but seldom still, The clapping gate closes with hollow bound, There's music in the church-clock's measured sound. The ring-dove's song, how breeze-like comes and goes, Now here, now there, it seems to wander round; The red-cow's voice along the upland flows, • His bass the brindled bull from the far meadow lows. HINTON CHARTER HOUSE ALLOTMENTS. There are few places in which the allotment system has flourished so vigorously as in Hinton Charter House. On Monday last, April 5, the tenants sat down to the half yearly dinner, given to them by Mrs. Symonds, of Hinton Abbey, the proprietor of the land. The rents were punctually paid, and the dinner displayed a plentiful supply of roast beef, veal, and mutton. At one table presided Harold Brooke, Esq., and at the other the Rev. T. Spencer. After dinner Mr. Spencer proposed the healths of Mrs. Symonds, and of Mr. and Mrs. Brooke, which were received with the utmost enthusiam and drunk with long continued cheers. Mr. Brooke re turned thanks in a suitable speech, and proposed the health of the Allotment Tenants. One of the tenants then proposed the health of the Rev. T. Spencer, the tried friend and well wisher of working men. Atter the hearty cliceiing with-which the toast was recived Lad subsided, Mr. Spencer said he was much gratified with the kind manner in which they had drank his health, for which he returned them his sincere thanks. He had also been pleased with the term well- wisher," used by tha person who had proposed hi. health. His conscience told him that it was an appropriate term, for he did most heartily wish them well. But he was glad, after so many 'years' trial of the allotment system, that there were sub stantial advantages as well as good wishes ; for several years be had tried to introduce the system without suc cess, but at length it was introduced, arid, at that tone, he promised them that as long as they kept the rule , , they would find that Mrs. Symonds would keep her en gagements with them which were of the most liberal nature. She had engaged that they should have the land at 30s. an acre, without rates or taxes :—had she kept her promise ?—( Yes 1 yes I from all parts of the room.) She had also promised, what was probably peculiar to this parish, that as long as a tenant observed the rules and kept his ground in cultivation, he should not only keep the land without danger of losing it in his own lifetime, but should, at his death, transfer it to his widow or son, so that all the labour and manure bestowed upon it should be for the benefit either of himself his family, otherwise one might sow and another reap; one family might labour / and another receive the fruits of those labours. After making a few remarks upon the importance of cultivating their minds as well as their gardens, Mr. Spencer requested Mrs. Spencer to read some extracts from a book describing some admirable schools, for the working classes, on the Continent, to which they listened with great interest. Mr. Spencer concluded with assuring them that, before ten Scars were gone by, there would be means provided, in England, for every working man to obtain for his children an education as good as that of which they had just heard. Though the tenants exceed 60 in number, there has never b en any ailui e in the payment of rent. Wiltshire Independent, MUSSELBURGH.—On Tuesday evening a pub ic meeting of the inhabitants w as h e ld i n th e Town- Hall, Musselburgh, to petition Parliament for the modifi cation of the duties on corn, and other articles of import. James Wilson, Esq., was called to the chair by accla mation, who shortly stated the object of the meeting, after which resolutions recommending a reduction of duty on corn, timber, coffee, sugar, &c., were proposed and unanimously agreed to. The principal speakers were Mr. Kemp, merchant, Musselburgh, and Mr. Millis, Pres ton-pans. The mce:ing was very numerous, the Town hall being completely crowded, and the audience were most orderly and attentive. A meeting of the Kent and Sussex Agricultural Asscciation took place on Wednesday last at Penhurst, in Kent. The ploughing match, which was vigorously con tested, was held in Lord Dc Lisle's Park, and the ploughs were numerous and most ably and skillfuhy worked. After the labours of the day the party retired to the Lei cester Arms, where they dined, Da‘id :SalomonF, Esq , in the chair, the Earl of Delawarr, who was to have presided, hawing sent an ap!ogy expressing his regret at his un avoidahlk! absence. A number of agricultural gentle men and the farmers of the two counties supported the Chairman. In the course cf the evening, which was spent most convivially, a great deal of ag icultural information was elicited and many oth r proofs were given of the utility of agricultural associations.

FUNERAL OF SIR RONALD FERGUSON.— The remains of this gallant officer and faithful representa tive cf Nottingham were deposited yesterday in the !Cerise!_ green cemetery. The funeral trains consisted of four mourning coaches with four horses each, and about ten pri vate carriages, among others the carriages of the Duke of Sussex and Mr. Fox Maule. A number of persons we re collected about the grave, and seemed to take a melancholy interest in the ceremony. It appeared from the inscription on the coffin that he was in his sixty- ninth 3 ear. TRADE OF DUNDEE.--Little encouragement seems to prevail in freighting vessels to the Baltic ; yet we era glad to see that many of our large class of ships are going to North America. Seven sailed in the first six days of April, five of which with cargoes of bale goods, &c. Also, the Mountain Maid, Wighton, 198 tons, sailed for Newcastle, to take coals to Quebec; and the Fairy, Nicol, 247 tons, awls from Cromarty with passengers for Que!)ee.

CHAIN-BRIDGE OVER THE DANUBE.—A coffer-dam for a new chain-bridge over the Danube, at Perth, is proceeding very vigorously under Mr. Adam Clarke, an English engineer, assisted by thirty English workmen. Their solidly constructed piles have hitherto withstood the immense masses of ice brought down by the Danube, to the great enhancement of the fame of English engineering. On Thursday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the new Directors elected on Wednesday last—viz., John Cotton, Esq., John Loch, Esq., Charles Mills, Esq., William Henry Chicheley Plowden, Esq., Henry Shank, Esq., and Henry St. George Tucker, Esq., took the oath and their seats.

THE DEAN OF YORK.--Tuesday a meeting f the rate-payers of the parish of St. Michael-le-Belfrey, York, was held in the vestry, amongst other business, to consider the propriety of presenting a dutiful and loysl add ess to the Queen, on the subject of the late proceed ins against the Very Rev. Dr. Cockburn, Dean of York. Tee Rev. W. Taylor, the vicar, presided, and there was a numerous attendance of parishioners. It was stated, how ever, that proceedings were in pi-egress for the reversal of the sent. nee, and it was thought advisable not to proceed further at present, and the meeting accordingly separated, after agreeing to an address to the Dean, expressive of their concern at the late proceedings, and of their hope that ere long he will be restored to the high office of which he has lately been deprive:l.—Doncaster Gazette. ANTI -CORN LAW DEMONSTRATION.—We perceive that our Corn-low Repealing friends have changed the place of gathering from the Riding-school to the Trades' Hall. The reasons have not transpired. Possibly they may have had some misgivings of a certain kind ; and, to keep all right, the whole af fair is to be a dinner in the Trades' Hall, tickets eight shillings each. We do hope that the parties get ting up the concern will never bring men from Lone don and other pens of the country to talk for one evening to about three or four hundred individuals. Surely they will give the people, the poor, ignorant, deluded people, an opportunity of hearing the wise ones of the earth, if it were but for one night. They will all be listened to, and perhaps the people's eyes will be opened so that they may perceive the error of their ways. Why not have another meeting such as was held at Leeds ; let us have a little civic chat together. and if it does no good why it will do noharm. By-the-by. it is whispered that Dan himself is to be there. Well, we feel convinced, that the working people of Glasgow will rejoice to see him; they will rejoice to have an opportunity of testifyieg their respect for his honesty and pure inten tions. He must be prepared, however, with a good belly ful of wind, for the working-classes of Glasgow have a grea. deal to ask.—Scots Times. MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Archdeacon Ry der, with his usual kindness, had invited a juvenile party to meet his sons at Billinterry for the Easter holidays, consisting of Master hers of Castle Ivers, and Mater Henry Boyle D. Freeman, son of the Rev. Richard Deane Freeman. On Saturday last these young gentle men proceeded to Busby-park to shoot rabbits. The elder Master Ryder tried to draw the ramrod of his gun, his brother holding the stock, while he pulled the ramrod ; the gun by some means went off and shot Master Ryder severely in the side. Doctor Campbell of Fermoy, and Doctor Barry of Rathcormac, were soon in attendance. The poor sufferer lies at Bushy-park, the seat of Mr. Campion, where ever3thing that medical skill can suggest, and the most unceasing kindness supply, is being done for him. Since the above account reached us, we have heard that the melancholy accident has terminated fatally. The poor lad breathed his last on Sunday evening._ Cork Constitution. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. -----About one o'clock on Monday morning, two young men, tradesmen, w. re coming up Greenside, both of them the worse for liquor, and observing a light in the window of a public huese in a sunk area in Greenside - p l a ce, a pp lied a t the door to be admitted. The landlo rd, however, ref us e d t open the door, and the young men, supposing that th e window was at the bottom of the area, resolved to leap down and force an entrance by that means. In this cal. colation they were wretchedly mistaken, the area was se veral storeys down from the stree t, and the conse q uen ce of their rash resolution was that o ne of them had his le g traCtured by the fall, while the oth er, still more unfortu nate, had his back broken. They were both conveyed to i the Royal Infirmary, where the latte Edrin unf urortunate Paper. sufferer died early on Tuesday morning. — EASING OFF.—The rush for office at th e bgh Custom-house is diminishing at a great rafe...
