The Earl of HARROWBY presented a petition from 420 licensed victuallers and beershop keepers in Man chester and Salford, and a petition from the inhabitants of the same places, in favour of an improved system of licensing public-houses and beer-shops. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented a petition from Maitland, N ew S out h W a l es , p ra yi ng for ce r t ain alterations in a bill conferring a constitution on the colony. CLERGY RESERVES IN CANADA. The Earl of DERBY said he was credibly in formed that the Canadian Legislative Assembly had passed an amendment to the address for dealing immediately with the clergy reserves in the colony ; and he understood that this step would probably lead to interference with all church property in Canada including Roman Catholic endowments. He wished to know whether the Government bad re ceived any intelligence upon that subject, for if the report turned out to be true, it might serve as a reason for the Government reconsidering the measure which bad been passed, allowing the Colonial Legislature to deal with these reserves? The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the Government bad no official information on the subject. The last despatches received from the Governor-General of Canada was dated the 17th June, which was the day on which the last mail left Quebec. This despatch contained the speech of the Governor- General to the Assembly. It was right to add that no official or written information as to the address could possibly have reached Halifax at the departure of the last mail. The information received in this country, and published in the newspapers, was derived by telegraphic message from Quebec to Halifax, a journey which the mad occupied four days in making, and it appeared to have reached Halifax four days subsequent to the departure of the mail to Eng land. The despatches of the Governor-General did not give any reason to suppose that such an amendment would be proposed, but he (the Duke of Newcastle) rather supposed that it had been passed than it had not, as it was not unlikely that, in a popular assembly like the Legislative Assembly, the government of the colony might, by a coalition of members, be defeated upon ques• tions relating to the church. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. Lord CANNING, in moving the second reading of this bill, said a strong feeling had pervaded the minds of all classes that the Universities of Oxford and Cam bridge did not fully discharge their duty of educating and training the youth of England, and that if their great wealth and educational resources and privi leges had been better administered, larger results might have been attained. The noble lord then entered into a detailed account of the circum stances which led to thu introduction of the bill, the object of which he described to be to lay down, be yond all risk of disturbance, the fundamental principle of self-representation, both the University of Oxford and its colleges being left to carry out the reforms mule by the bill in the manner which should seem to them best. I • hon. bart, had quoted, were to be found in a pamphlet written by the Rev. Mr. Hume, a non-resident clergy man of the city of London, who expected to have his income raised by the operation of this bill from 3001. to 6001. a year. As a resident in the city of London, con stantly mixing with its inhabitants, he could state that the city was generally opposed to the bill, and he hoped the house would meet the wishes of the citizens by throwing it out. Mr. CHRISTOPHER opposed the bill, as its direct tendency was to overthrow the parochial institutions of the City. Besides the bill was indefinite in its provisions; it neither mentioned the churches that should be pulled down, nor the districts where the new churches should be built. That was not the way to legislate on the mat ter. No doubt there was a superfluity of church accom modation in the City, and a corresponding amount of spiritual destitution in the suburbs ; but if they were to remedy the evil according to the principle of this bill, let it be done by a measure which should specify the churches to be pulled down and the spots where they should be rebuilt. Mr. S. HERBERT observed that no one had dispated the fact that the majority of the City churches were without congregations. This had been produced by the progress of trade and commerce ; the houses and build ings remained as of old, but they were not inhabited by human souls but filled with bales of cotta n goods, sarsa parilla, and God knows what, and the consequence was that most of the City churches had fallen into disuse. Now would it not be better that they should be removed to where they were really wanted, part iculary if at the same time they could so extend and iw prove the City parishes as to restore them to their form er condition— getting rid of non•residentr sinecurist cl ergymen, and once more filling the parish churches with. pious and at tentive congregations. For his part he th ought it would be, and though he did not believe the details of this bill were sufficiently complete, he yet felt th a t the principle was sound, and he should therefore Tote for the second reading. Lord R. CECIL did not deny that thea•e was spiritual destitution in the suburbs, or that some of the City churches were ill attended, but it would be an un exampled species of legislation to dest roy at one fell swoop the rights of parishioners witho nit previous in- quiry. Mr. T. HANKEY disputed the assertion of Mr. Moffatt that the citizens of London wer t) generally op posed to this bill. They disapproved of nsany of its de tails, but they were favourable to its pr.itnciple, and if the house would read the bill a second tit xie, all their ob jections could be removed in committee. Mr. HENLEY warned the house to 13. e cautious how they recognised the principle that, when -.the inhabitants of a parish fell below a given number, say 500, they should be liable to have their church pu [Pad down, and packed off to another place. Mr. MASTERMAN said all the information which had come to him on this subject was the very contrary of that stated by Mr. Hankey. Sir J. DUKE also declared that the feeling of the city was generally adverse to the bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE believed the citizens of Lon don thought this bill was a disgrace to t't to parties who brought it in, and would be a scandal to the Parliament that pas-ed it. Mr. HENRY DRUMMOND wished t o ask the pro moters of this bill two questions, if they were thus to deal with consecrated ground, what was; the use of the farce of consecration—(a laugh)—and ha, ring answered that question, he would next ask them what was the use of having bishops except for the pmrpese of conse crations. (Laughter.) The house thee divided, when there ap Teared— For the second reading 59 Against it Majority —B4 The bill was accordingly thrown outt amidst loud cheers. The other 12 o'clock orders were there disposed of, and the sittings were suspended at four o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock, and iv as [LEFT SITTING.] (LEFT SPEAKING.)

The S tlisbury and Yeovil Railway Bill wAi considered and ordered to be read a third time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented from Manchester and other places against the ,ale of intoxicating drinks on Sundays; by Mr. GROGVS, from the Corpo , ation of Dublin, against the extension of the Bills of Exchange Bill to Ireland; Mr. WISE, from Hanley, in Stafford shire, against the extension of the Board of Health Bill to that district; Dr. PHILLIMORE, against the Church Building Acts Amendment Bill ; also a petition from the merchants and inhabitants of London, praying to be heard by council at the bar of the house against the same bill ; by Sir J. PAKINGTON, from 41 incumbents of churches in the city of London, in favour of the Church Building Acts Amendments Bill. CHURCH BUILDING ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved the second reading of this bill, and briefly stated its object to be to give autho rity for pulling down certain superfluous churches in the City and re-erecting them in other parts of the metro polis which were destitute of church accommodation. (Hear, hear.) The house was aware that owing to a change of circumstances most of the City churches were now little better than useless, because there were no parishioners to attend them, and the Bishop of London and his clergy were of opinion that the buildings should be pulled down, the sites sold, and the materials and proceeds applied to erecting churches in those metropolitan districts that most required them— that was the simple object of the bill. It embraced no new principle, because a similar measure had already been extended to other sees, and since the measure was one of necessity, he hoped the house would experience no difficulty in adopting it. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE moved that the bill be read a Second time this day six months. He denied that there any superfluity of churches in the City, while he contended that the deficiencies which were said to exist in certain districts, could be supplied by the contribu tions of th e places themselves. This bill interfered with the rights o f Parishioners in a most unjustifiable manner, not only i n tar London, but in Bristol, Ches had yet been York, and .various other places, and as no proof given of the necessity of this measure, except as regarded the city o f think the house would be • London. He did not arbitrary measure as this. lus ts in very exceptional one. It tvaset passing such an `tee of r L ic o h n h d a o d n to make it the place of their resid rn e live in the suburbs, but would thenceased live housed had gona to disregarding the claims of the poor be justified in accommodation (Hear, hear.) P Th e T a ll to Church cumbenta of many of these churches hade- to the in the opening of their pews that the poor were a° r , t g e , ed ,. of them, and now, because they wanted tofoll"` affluent parishioners into the suburbs it was"l their forsooth, that the churches were superfine a arge , a ed : necessary, simply on the ground that they neverweraend attended. But why were they not attended Onlybe- cause while the rich found it convenient to retireto the suburbs, the poor though forced to remain in the City were kept out of the churches, not by their own wish but against their will to serve the interest of the incum bent. (Hear, hear.) There was a great constitution a l objection in this bill ; it proposed for the first time in the history of this country to pull down churches, break up church-yards, transfer church rates and tithes from One district to another without the consent of the pa rishioners. (Hear, hear.) The powers of the bill were to be put in force merely at the will of the bishop, the leariihioners were to have no voice in the matter, and that being so he was right in stigmatising the bill as shocking, arbitary, and unjust. (Cheers.) Mr. HADFIELD seconded the amendment. Sir J. PAKINGTON replied to the objections which had been urged against the bill, which, he said, could be all removed in committee, as they appeared to go to the detail., and not to the principle of the measure. The attack which had been made upon the clergy of the City, Was as misplaced as it was unjust; it was said, that they supported the bill, because it would put money into their pockets, but it would do nothing of the sort. It might have the effect of increasing the stipends of one or two of them, but to say that the advocacy of the Clergy was attributable to sordid motives, was a calumny which could not be sustained. The right hon. gentle man then proceeded to give a number of facts and figures in support of his assertion that the Church accommodation in the City was highly superfluous, and in the suburbs of London deplo rably deficient. He cited various instances where the churches and graveyards had been pulled down and broken up for secular purpoees—for promoting health in some cases, and the interest of commerce in others ; as, bt witness St. Katherine's Docks, and asked the house ~> whether it was not of far greater importance that this should be done when the object to be secured was the st removal of a large amount of spiritual deitution. ltitr4=. - i . „:, Mr. MOFFATT said all the statistic,' which the right THAMES NATIONAL .REG:.ATT.d.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 185 4. with pushing education through every possible avenue that we can find for it. Now, I think that the Society of Arts, in their forthcoming exhibition, are likely to be most u.sefel for this purpose. This society numbers among its members some of the most distinguished men in every line of life that we have in this country, and yet I do not value the society so highly for having pushed any particular branch of science, as on account of its universality and its versatility in shaping itself to the wants and feelings of the present age. (Cheers.) As a body, they are a rough-and-ready, bustling com munity (laughter) they are constantly pushing themselves into corners where I really believe they have no business to go at all—(renewed laughter)—and where, if the Government attempted to follow, nothing but the most irretrievable ruin and confusion would be produced. (Cheers.) I had myself grave doubts of the expediency of a society like this mixing itself up with that most difficult question—strikes and lock outs ; but I believe the conference which took place on that subject has resulted most usefully ; not only in the discussion of it ; but the attacks that were made upon the society for having embarked upon that topic have, as forcibly as anything could do, brought before the minds both of workmen and employers the real grounds upon which that most difficult question rests. (Cheers.) There is another exhibition to be opened in a neighbour ing country, in which the most liberal conditions are proposed to the British exhibitors. The Society of Arts took themselves to sugzest certain modifications, which were adopted with the utmost liberality by the French Government; so that there can be no doubt that the exhi bition at Paris will be a highly successful one in every respect. Another thing they have done. They have circulated a proposal amongst local bodies in different districts, who, it has been suggested, should establish themselves as treasurers to take care of the savings of those working men who may wish to visit Paris when this exhibition takes place. (Hear, hear.) I look for ward to the result as one of the greatest use in opening the minds of the working classes in this country, and as highly calculated to aid in cementing still further the union which now so happily subsists between the two countries. (Hear.) As one of the Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851, I do not wish to be supposed to attribute results to that Exhibition which may not be justly traced to it, but among the circumstances which attended it were the intermixture of foreign with English workmen, the intermixture of foreign and English ex.hi bitors, and the singular probity and honour which cha racterised the awards of the jurors ; and without being considered invidious, I may particularly mention those from the neighbouring country, as they formed the , 1 greater number. And I think some small influence of the same sort may have been exerted in producing that cordial feeling which exists between the combined armies and the fleets of the two nations, which have exhibited nothing but the most generous rivalry and anxiety to be distinguished in company with each other, in defence of what we and they consider the just rights of civilisation and the interests of Europe. (Hear, hear.) To such an extent is this feeling carried, that when the French sailor wishes to compliment the English sailor, not being able to find words to express himself as he could wish in our language, he slaps him •n the back, and cries— " Brave, Jackey." (Loud laughter.) I now ask you most cordially to drink the toast of the Society of Arts, and join with me in wishing that it may continue its course of usefulness, and by its future exertions confer immense benefits, not only upon the population of this country, but upon the people of the whole world. The noble earl coupled the toast with the names of Sir C. Eastlake fur the fine and industrial arts, Mr. John Dillon for manufactures, and the Lord Mayor for com merce. Sir C. Eastlake, Mr. Dillon, and the Lord Mayor having briefly acknowledged the toast, Mr. C. KNIGHT proposed the " 355 Institutions in Union with the Society of Arts." He felt singularly honoured in being permitted to propose the toast, seeing that these institutions represented more or less the pro gress of educ ition in this country. It was a great thing to see assembled so many distinguished men connected with arts, manufactures, and commerce, He dwelt on the vast number of mechanics' institutions which had sprung up in a few years. He recollected, only a few years since, that such institutions were comparatively unknown, and he now found 355 such institutions in union with the parent society. Mr. EDWARD BAINES returned thanks, and said lie had seen the rise and progress of mechanics' institutions. The Society of Arts had attained its centenary, and for two-thirds of that period its benefits had not been ex tended to the working classes. Mechanics' institutions had not been in existence more than 30 years, the Lon- ' don Mechanics' Institution taking the lead, when it was held in an old chapel near Falcon-square. There were now in the country 800 such societies, and in Yorkshire there were societies numbering 20,000 members. He believed that the mechanics' institutions had a great in fluence in sustaining the Society of Arts, and in making possible the Great Exhibition of 1851, and the magnifi cent Crystal Palace of 1854. He wished all prosperity to both, and again returned thanks on behalf of the in stitutions in union. Lord Viscount MAHON gave, the distinguished foreigners, commissioned by their respective Govern ments to take part in the Educational Exhibition, and with it coupled the names of M. Milne Edwards on the part of France, and on the part of our brothers of Ame rica, the Hon. Henry Bernard, of the State of Connec• ticut. • M. MILNE EDWARDS said, that France could not but feel deeply animated by that generous and enlightened sentiment which actuated the promoters of knowledge assembled in the spacious hall of that fairy castle. (Hear, hear.) He begged leave to state on the part of the Em peror (by whom he was ordered to visit this country) that he felt a deep and warm interest in the cause of education. (Cheers.) Amon, the most powerful, gener ous, and Christian features of the present age was the diffusion of knowledge in all classes of society, from the highest to the lowest. (Cheers.) France had long been desirous of instilling into the minds of all her citizens those elementary notions of science, of literature, and of art, which were sought to be protected in a special mode by the Society of Arts. The two nations which in former ages cau4efl so much blood to be shed uselessly, and led to the infliction of so much misery upon mankind, were now rivals no longer as slaughterers in the field of battle, but as the benefactors of the human race. (Cheers.) In the work of civilization England and France could be no rivals. (Cheers.) In history we could find no period in which such successful and powerful efforts could have been made. Our great predecessors in civilization—the Romans —had but a slight influence over mankind, compared with that actually iii the hands of England and France. Their steamers, like the radii of the glory which crowns the two nations, were sweeping in all directions, carrying their example to the most distant shores. (Cheers.) Our predecessors, the Romans, quailed and fell before the invading hordes of Scythian barbarians. England and France would in their time be more fortunate. (Cheers.) The Hon. H. BARNARD, of Connecticut, United States, also returned thanks on behalf of the Foreign Commissioners. The early settlers of Connecticut, he said, were graduates in the grammar schools and uni versities of this country, and it was to them tha`, they provision —a n d if t h ere was ever to be a owed it that they had insc r ib e d on the laws of the State the simple monument erected with an inscription upon it to the State of Connecticut, he trusted it would be the words of that law—it was an injunction on the authorities of the towns that they should not allow of so much bar barism to exist in the midst of this State as that of a single child who was unable to read the Holy Word of God and the good laws of his country. (Cheers.) He trusted he would be permitted to say that there were many of the public men of the State with which be was connected who had had much experience of public life, who stated that in the course of 50 years they had never seen or met with a single native-born citizen of Connecticut who could not write his name or read the laws of his country. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman concluded by , proposing " Success to the Educational Exhibition, which was drunk with loud cheers.

( From the Report of the Registrar• General. ) In the week that ended last Saturday the total num ber of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts was 1,290. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53 the average number was 990 ; and if this is raised in proportion to increase of population it becomes 1,089. There is, therefore, an excess in last week's re turn of 201 above the estimated amount. The numbers returned in the four weeks of June have been 1,110, 1,085, 1,153, and 1,290. The rate of mor tality in London has been high for some time, but at the end of the quarter the registration of many coroners' cases, that occurred previously, was completed, and to this circumstance the heavy return of last week is in great measure due. Scarlatina appears to be gaining ground, the deaths referred to it last week numbering 72. Small-pox was fatal in 10 cases, measles in 22, hooping-cough in 35, diarrhcea in 25, typhus in 47. Six children died of syphilitic disease ; a man of hydrophobia. Last week the births of 920 boys and 844 girls, in all 1,764 children, were registered in London. In nine cor responding weeks of the years 1845-53 the average num ber was 1,453. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.618 in. The reading of the barometer was 29 . 98 in. at the beginning of the week, and 29.82 in. at the end of it. The mean temperature of the week was 57.9 deg., which is 3.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was 6.4 deg. above the average on Sur.day, and was below it during the rest of the week. On Tuesday and Saturday it was 6.6 deg. and 8 deg. below the average. The highest temperature of the week was 80 deg. on Sunday ; the lowest was 45.5 deg. on Friday. The mean dew point temperature was was 52.4 deg. ; between this and the main temperature of the air the difference is 5.5 deg. The wind blew mostly from the south and south-west. The amount of rain in the week was 0.52 in., most of which fell on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

THE SOCIETY OF ARTS. The centenary of this society was celebrated on Tuesday by a grand dinner at the Crystal Palace. The Duke of Newcastle was announced to take the chair, but his Grace was unable to do so. Earl Granville in conse quence presided. From 750 to 800 gentlenten sat down to dinner, which was served with an abundance and excellence highly creditable to Mr. Horne, the head of the refreshment department at the Palace. The enter tainment took place in the basement story, where, a few days ago, the directors and shareholders of the company gave a dejeuner to the distinguished foreign visitors present at the opening of the building. If on that occasion the arrangements deserved commendation, it was still more due on Tuesday, the number of persons present being greater, and the proceedings being charac terised by a succinctness most unusual in the post prandial celebrations of this country. It was after five o'clock before dinner commenced, and at half-past eight all was over, the lists of toasts exhausted, and the com pany on their way home, much gratified with an enter tainment which had been brought to a close before it became tedious. The society has every reason to be satisfied with the demonstration made yesterday in its favour. More convincing evidence of the recognised utility of its labours could hardly be given. The Crys tal Palace Company, tracing their patronage to the society, gratefully offered its members the facilities for celebratiug their centenary in a worthy manner. Dinner over, the Dean of Hereford returned thanks. Earl GRANVILLE then rose and said that the Duke of Newcastle had been prevented from being present and taking the chair by the departure of his youngest son in the Dauntless for the Baltic. Every father who heard him would understand the validity of such an excuse. The noble Earl concluded by proposing, in happy " The Health of he r M a j es t y the Queen. " terms, The toast having been received with loud cheers, The CHAIRMAN gave "The Health of his Royal High ness Prince Albert, President of the Society." He was sure the toast would be received with every mark of re spect and regard, when they considered how valuable his Royal Highness's connexion with that society had proved to science'and art. As president of the Society of Arts, he believed the connexion had proved most use ful both to the society and to his Royal Highness. The Society of Arts had most materially assisted iu carrying out those propositions which his Royal Highness had brought forward for the promotion of art, while he be lieved the society had materially benefitted by the com bination of talent and position which his Royal High ness had brought to bear in support of an institution in which his love of art and science had induced him to take so great and lively an interest. (Loud cheers.) The toast was responded to amid loud applause. " The health of his Royal Highness Albert Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal family," having been drunk, Mr. HARRY CHESTER rose and said,—As chairman of the council of this society, I have been requested by my colleagues to propose a toast. Upon ordinary oc casions those who visit this remarkable building come here as visitors and guests of the Crystal Palace Com pany. Upon this occasion, however, we are here in a somewhat peculiar character —being in one sense the guests, and in another sense the hosts of the directors of the Crystal Palace Company. I have, my Lord and gentlemen, to request you to drink " Success to the Crystal Palace," (loud cheering) ; and I will blend with that " The Health of the Chairman of that company, Mr. Laing." (Renewed cheers.) I take it the mem bers of the Society of Arts are, generally speaking, per sons having a lively personal interest in arts, manufac tures, commerce, and, education, and no one who has any special and real interest in these objects can fail to feel a deep interest, in the success of the Crystal Palace. (Hear.) I will 'rot say it is the Palace--I would rather say it is the happy and natural home of arts, manufac tures, commerce, and education. (Cheers ) I now simply ask you to drink this toast, and, coupled with it, the health of Mr. Laing, a gentleman who, I am sure, has exerted himself, and will continue to exert himself, to provide for the recreation and instruction of the visitors to this wonderful structure, as well as for the profit of those public-spirited individuals by whose means the innumerable works of art with which this building is enriched have been collected together. I give you, my Lord and gentlemen, "Success to the Crystal Palace Company, and the health of its chair man, Mr. Samuel Laing." (Loud cheers.) Mr. S. LAING, M.P., in replying, said—l regret ex ceedingly that th e a b sence of my friend, Sir 'Joseph Paxton, whose name is so much more appropriately as sociated with this noble undertaking, should make it in cumbent on me to reply to the present toast. The popu lar sentiment has so connected his name with the enter prise of the Crystal Palace, that I confess that it is with a feeling of disappointment that I now get on my legs to addres s y ou , an d that I do not see Sir Joseph in his proper place. That absence I regret exceedingly on the present occasion, because it is obvious that, associated as he is in the eyes of the nation with the Crystal Pa • lace, he would more properly than myself welcome be neath its crystal dome that parent society, the Society of Arts, to which we are Bo deeply indebted. I think that there is another reason why we should be exceed ingly glad to hail and - welcome the Society of Arts. It is evident that if the Crystal Palace is to carry out those objects for which it has been designed, it must be asso ciated with the education and advancement of the people of England. (Cheers.) We have practically to carry out the HoratirAn maxim, and mix the utile with the dulce. As regards the agreeable, there can be no doubt that we have succeeded in providing for the people of the metropolis a most agreeable resort. There is no doubt that those who are now above stairs are enjoying a great deal of harmless in struction —(laughter) —and that the Palace every day becoming an essential part of the existence of the citizens of London. It is, in fact, an approximation to the most agreeable part of continental enjoyment, where they look on the most beautiful in nature and art undisturbed by the inclemency of weather. I am not disposed to underrate the educational advance ment to be made in such scenes, where we are stir rounded by the sight of all the most charming in nature and the most excelling in art. For the general diffusion of education, however, among the masses of the people, we must trust to the operation of associations such as this, and to men who come up like those whom I see around me representing them. (Hear.) If we were to attempt to take into our hands the ferule of the school master, an , :t say to the million what we think they should particulariy attend to, and I believe that we would most assuredly not advance, but render ourselves ridiculous. (Laughter.) If, on the other hand, gentlemen like those whom I see around me will take the ma ter in hand and organise it, then a great deal of good may result to educa tion. I do, therefore, trust that our connexion with the Society of Arts—from whose loins I may say we have sprung —may be the means of promoting co - operation be tween us in our endeavours for the same object. I can now only return you on my own part, and on that of the Crystal Palace Company our most sincere thanks for the honour you have done us, and I hope that the Crys tal Palace --sprung from the Society of Arts —may turn out to be an institution of which the parent society may never have reason to be ashamed. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said,—Gentlemen, the toast which I have now to propose to you is that of the " Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce." (Cheers.) The only thing which I have to consider in proposing, and you in accepting, the toast is, whether the objects of this society are desirable in themselves, and whether the attempts to carry out those objects have been successful or not. With regard to the objects, I really should have imagined that there could have been no doubt upon the subject. (Hear.) But it having happened that within a very short time two of the most intellectual and highly-cultivated members of the Legislature —one in each house—have thrown some disparagement upon the necessity of elementary educa tion and the use of trying to instil arts and sciences among the masses of the people. For my own part, I cannot help thinking that it is a proof of the overwhelming con fidence which such highly-cultivated minds feel in them selves that they indulge in what appears to me such a perfect fallacy. (Cheers.) I maintain that here is repre sented pretty well the sense of this country. Among us there are some of the most distinguished representatives of the intelligence of some:of the most highly-cultivated countries in the world. If any one of the 750 gentlemen who are here present is inclined to take the line of argu ment which I have just distinguished, I will undertake to argue it with him, and I would do so not from any confidence in my own liabilities, but because I believe that, however inferior the understanding of one man may be to another's, if they take up an argument upon a proposition of Euclid, the one who argues against that proposition in the long run must get the worst of it. (Laughter.) My challenge does not seem to be accepted. I therefore prenume you agree with me that the object of this society is a desirable one. (Cheers.) With re gard to the means of carrying it out, I have read the ad mirable aSidress, and I think it is impossible for any one to have beard the report read to-day, and not to be struck with the manner in which this society had gone on fissom small beginnings to a great result ; how it has, fron t the almost exclusive attention and interest of higher classes, come to be regarded with deep into s•est by the middle and even the lower classes of so ciety. (Hear, hear.) I cannot help thinking that the educational Exhibition which is now intended to be re opened, and which has been, owing to the untiring efforts of the council of this society, aided by one or two other gentlemen—will be of the most beneficial effect, not only as giving information respecting education in this and in other countries ; but as bringing the attention of the public still more to the subject. lam one of those who think that immense progress has been made both in ele mentary instruction and in the necessity which all classes of English society feel fora greater admixture of instruc tion in :nanufactures and science than has hitherto been giver.. I believe by the efforts of the State, by the efforts of pubiic bodies—both as laymen and of religious bodies —and, I may add, by the efforts of individuals, immense assistance has been given to the cause of education in this country. The mode of imparting education has been immensely forwarded and improved. A race of teachers utterly unknown a few years ago has been created. Without referring more in detail to anything which has lately been done by the Government, I believe that the regulations which have been adopted within the last Yr./at will, within a very few years, show their result in a very largely increased measure of instruction, both in scienc e and in art, being given in the elementary schools of this country. (Hear, hear.) But when I when w e compare hav e said this, so far from being proud of the progress we have made, I feel that there is a lamentable defi ciency_oveT carrying , the power s and resources of this great nation. (Hear, the state of education with conscientious objections believe, Plans ;have been suggested—many of which, I gin "el:e ' those conscientious would work ve well if all persona would corn and only (s, nment or any 0 themus objections out—but anya r it e foisu particularuseless nd ed either,,,3nia political i when i i f e o n r other body of men to force down for the moment, and religious feelings, (Rear, hear.)

Familiar as thes e gardens are to the inhabitants of Cam berwell, Kenningto n , Walworth, and parts adjoining, it is doubtful whether the extent of their fame is commen surate with their merits. A river is always found to be an almost insuperable barrier to the inhabitants of a me tropolis, and, though there is no more difficulty in crossing a bridge than in g oing down a street, the " other side of the water" alvva s conve s a notion of a sort of Ultima Thule oven to those who would eagerly seek the other side of the Channel. trouble of Now, in the case o f the Surrey Gardens, there are certain peculiarities the contemplation of which well repays the on- 1 Y do we see pyr o technic art turned to a purpose never passing th a t magic boundary , the Thames. Here dreamt of by the old conventional contrivers of rockets, stars, blue lights, and golden showers. A magnificent "set scene," remarkabl) oven as a picture on a large scale, is set up on the borders of a lake, with the real sky at the back, and is a striking object by clay, while it is the vehicle for the fireworks at night. Chusan is the place represented, and it i s ac t ually bombarded, until, history giving place to fancy, it blows up into a storm of rockets. Fire-rafts that float on the real water blaze till they fall to pieces and sink, and what with the flames on the lake, and the explosion at the back, a tableau is presented that is actually marvellous. Nor is variety scorned by the exhibition. Before the bombardment takes place the inhabitants of Chusan are supposed to amuse themselves with a "feast of lanterns," and the lake is covered with all sorts of fantastic fireworks and transparencies. To these sports of peace the noisier manifestations of war come in as the terrible supplement. The proprietors of the Surrey Gardens are almost puri tanical in their notions of decorum, and, such enemies are they to late hours, that the fireworks are le off as soon after nightfall as possible, becoming earlier and earlier as the year declines from the summer solstice. There is an orchestra, and there is singing (of very good quality), but the art of Terpsichore is not acknowledged in the Ken nington Arcadia. Indeed, the various amusements are all more or less of the grave and instructive kind. There is a good stock of wild beasts, there is a collection of work ing hues to be seen in every stage of industry, there is an elephant which draws passengers in a car round the gar dens at a penny a-head, and shows wondrous skill in turning round a corner ; there is an elastic bridge, which gives strong evidence of its elasticity to all who cross it, communicating—what was so much desired by the Em peror Tiberiue—a now sensation.
