SOLOMONS' newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES and VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons , From James Blundell, Esq , I have now tried for some time the Messrs. Solomons' newly .nvented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they are far preferable to my vision than any other Lens; the relief is very great, in particular by candle light, and in course of use for a length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every object very distinct; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like myself, may stand in need of them. " JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D. " No. 1, Great George-street, Westminster." - , " We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer ence to every other kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and soften bright and brilliant light.—George G. Sigmond, Esq., M.D., 24, Dover-street; J.

In' consequence W t. -he gross imposition in the Country it is neces sexy to state that no Travellers are employed by the above Estab lishment. DR. SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD. Persons of weak, delicate, and IMPaired Constitution , , suffering under such symptoms of debility as betray the approach of formidable disease, and without timely assistance. in danger of falling a prey to Nervous, Hypochondriac, or Consumptive Affections, may prevent the fearful result, by a timely application to this well-known specific remedy. There is nothing more common than to see the mind enfeebled by disease. This is the case more particularly with the NERVOUS. To all such, whatever will invigorate the enfeebled organs, assist their healthy functions, and support the general strength, will assuredly re lieve, and for this purpose Dr. Solomon's Cordial Balm of Gilead is particularly prepared. In Trembling of the Limbs, Palpitation of the Heart, Vertigo, Fla tulence, Lowness of Spirits, and veneral Debility, and in the Symp toms of a Cold, Bilious, and Consumptive Habit, its efficacy is vi ry great. Whether used to give relief to those who have reason to re pent an excessive indulgence of the Passions, or the Habits of fa shionable Life, too great attention to business, or juvenile indiscre_ tions, that strike at the root of health and vigour, it will be Lund an invaluable bracer and invigorant. ALSO, THE ANTI-IMPETIGINES, or SOLOMON'S DROPS. They are ass Effectual cure for such disorders as originate in a De praved Habit of the Body, as Obstinate Eruptions, Chronic Rheuma tism, and those hard, schirrous, and often indolent tumours that af fect the glands of the neck, under the chin, and most commonly be neath the ears. For these complaints the whole Materia Medica has been tried with very little success, and lamentable to state, a large por tion of the community is now suffering under the accumulated evils arising therefrom, whom the Anti-Impetigines would restore to health and vigour, if recourse were had to it Iliustrati, ns of the efficacy of the CORDIAL BA LM of GI LEAD, and of the A NTLIMPETIGINES, are given in the GUIDE HEALTH,to which also contains much interesting information on Health and Disease, particularly on the origin and treatment of such disorders_ (l as result from imprudence and fashionable vices. 4, Soelheliapy4l%idi:s;srsii4NrV.s.Suntgteorn,, 150,80 Church-yard;43xfordstreet Oxford-street; Mr.T hmomacaks,Bilui,tl23er: Whitechapel ; Ha * nay and Co., 63, Oxford-street, corner of Wells. street; J.

IIE FLoons.=Three days of continued rain, and the melting of the snow, have covered the low grounds in the neighbourhood of Lincoln, with a mighty mass of waters. The drainage has never been so tried for twenty years past, and had the works been of no greater capacity than furmerly, the devastation must have been immense. As, however, there are now much better facilities for getting rid of the waters than heretofore, all mischief is controlled, and it is beautiful to see bow serviceably the system is capable of acting. A lad was drowned on Saturday week, near Saxilby; he was driving a horse that hauled a Derbyshire ketch-boat, and the road-way being quite covered, the horse stepped off the bank and fell into deep water.—Hull Observer.

I premise by saying that, as a barrister, I joined the Northern Circuit for the first time at the present York Assizes—that I have not had any discussion or disagreement with any individual member of the Bar or Northern Circuit, previously to the occurrences to which I am about to allude—that I was at college with several of them, and was unaniously elected a member of the Bar mess on Monday the 11th inst., on the introduc tion of Mr. Cresswell and another member, having been introduced to the first named person by a letter, which I invite him to publish without the name of tire writer, from an eminent Queen's Counsel, who had two months previously spoken to Mr. Cresswell, in--Lorrckm, about me, and received his consent to propose me. As I have been very unwell for a month past with an affec tion of the throat, I left the dinner table at 7 on Monday, and did not dine at mess again until Saturday, being the day on which the whole bar are expected to attend, but dined with the Judges one day. On Saturday I was detained in Court all day by business which I bad no op portunity of introducing, and at last was relieved from it by the kindness' of a gentleman at the bar, purposely to enable me to save my fine by attending th e mess , it b e i ng then six o'clock. Before * leaving Court, however, I made an appointment with Mr. Seymour, the Under Sheriff, to meet him at nine that evening, for the pur pose of my being sworn before hint as a Master Extra ordinary in Chancery, to an affidavit ,pElk.,:aat import ance, which I had unexpectedly received from town, and which required to be sent back by that night's post. I had supposed that this arrangement would leave ample time for the dinner. I must here mention that I have not lived in technical legal society, and though of six years standing at the bar, and never till the 11th instant joined a circuit, and knew, consequently, only the usages general among gentlemen, and not that peculiar custom about to be mentioned, namely, that of impeding the parting guest after dinner, which was still usual among English squireens about A.D. 1700, and yet perchance lingers in Lap land. Also, I must add that my proposer had never spoken to me since my introduction to the mess, when the only advice he gave me was (with my six years standing) to take the lowest seat at the table, which I have always done, and also that all my seconder had told me, as I recollect, in the way of advice was. " not to be seen with attorneys." I went to the Music Hall, and found nearly ninety members din ing. After dinner a ceremony, which I deemed a mere farce, of locking doors, was- gone through by Mr. Watson, who, I understood, was elected mes senger or doorkeeper for the evening. An hour probably after the locking, or form of locking, several members came in without knocking. I draw a veil over the pro ceedings which ensued, and at once say that at a quar ter to nine I wrote in pencil the following note (the original is now deposited with Mr. Etridge), and gave it to Mr. Watson, the doorkeeper; it was as follows : " Please to let me go : I have appointed nine this even ing to be sworn to an affidavit in a lunacy petition coming on before the Chancellor on the 20th, in my own private affairs, which must be forwarded by post to-night. C. F. Barkley." Mr. Watson having spoken to the Hon. Stuart Wortley, said he must refer me to the Junior, Mr. Mon teith. After showing the slip of paper to Mr. Ho; gins, I walked over with it to the Junior, Mr. Monteith, who does not remember having seen it, but recollects my applica tion ; Mr. Adolphus was then speaking, and who, instead of pointing out any form of obtaining permission to de part, said—" I can do nothing, wait five minutes and all will be over ;" or words to that effect. I returned to my seat, and contemplating Mr. Seymour's not choosing to be detained so long after his appointment for nine, and fearing great difficulty in getting sworn elsewhere so late, and not being in health to travel to town direct day and night on Sunday if I lost the post, I was in great perplexity and anxiety about my affidavit, and at last at half-past nine, believing my course sanctioned by a remark from an older member, I rose to go away, it being two hours after the removal of the cloth. On reaching the door, having gone round to take my hat and coat, I found Mr. Watson had arrived before me, and with his back to the door he denied me egress. I remonstrated very quietly, saying only " Mr. Watson, I am not a child." Presently the guests commenced booting and making indescribable noises directed at me. Mr. Watson now said aloud to the party, and for it I thank him, " Mr. Barkley really has irn.;' portant (or urgent) business." Supposing it, I conjecture, to be of another description, there was then a sort of merriment, mingled with a growling of " Hat off," " Scat," &c. In compliance I returned to my place without my hat, and from it addressing the whole room, alleged th e n at ure o f my bu siness to the effect of my note above written. The noise then redoubled and became more angry, on which I added firmly that I pleaded the general usages of society, and that as I had even told the nature of my business, I therefore must go and would go. On this Mr. Cresswell from afar offarose,and most imperiously and authoritative ly told me he spoke the sense of the meeting (and this made mein error suppose him in the chair. I now find, how ever, that he was a volunteer, for he had a senior present, viz., my successor as a candidate for York, Mr. Serjeant Atcherley), "and that if I insisted on going I could never return." I thereupon, without hesitation, said that, although the most humble member of the circuit, and he the leader, I maintained my right to go, and that I accepted his alternative of giving up the mess, and to it I would never return. I walked again to the door, which Mr. Watson opened, and I arrived at Mr. Seymour's house, at ten minutes to ten, and disturbed him at his supper. I supposed the matter would end here, I having clearly and distinctly withdrawn from such arbitrary scenes for ever. Judge my surprise and indignation at receiving, next dav, Sunday, at half past twelve, a visit from Mr. Monteith, the junior, with an epistle containing the following passage, decided upon three hours after dinner, it is true, and with which I end my narrative, for the present. The passage alluded to is, " Resolved, that Mr. Barkley be hereafter excluded from the Grand Court of the Northern Circuit, and that the 71. 7s. be returned to him, which he paid into the wine fund." This money I refused, as having already resigned, and therefore having no lien, and not being able to accept charity. Thus has a gratuitous and supererogatory offence been offered me, which (where the true cause, namely, that I wished in the year 1839, to leave a dinner table, two hours and a half after the cloth was removed, when all had taken wine enough, and I was pressed by urgent business, may be unknown), is calculated to prejudice me in pub lic opinion, in society, and as I have beard a hint, pro fessionally. If that prove so, then must 1 investigate the pretension of any body of persons, Ist, to arrogate im portant functions under the cover of convivial purposes, and to raise inferences injurious to those who do not join them, which they thereby force every one to do ; 2d, to subject those who do join them, the serious as well as others, and even to compel them to witness mat ters, I will no further allude to, by fines and penalties, when fresh from harrowing scenes, such as that of Satur day's trial ; 3d, to cr..st a stigma for ever on the repute tion of any unfortunate gentleman, who cannot su b mit to be bearded under such circumstances as I was placed in, by the Member for Liverpool, by Mr. Cresswell, with whom nearly the whole blame of this occurrence rests ; first, as having neglecte d to advise an d inform me, and subsequently to prote ct me ; and thirdl y , as:having led and concentrated against me, if what I am informed be true, the feelings of men under excitement an d im perfectly comprehending the matter ; and finally, f or having driven me by his alternative, into an i mpasse, moral as well as physical, in which situation no man of any spirit could have hesitated to adopt my course. Some of the meeting may have begun to hoot and so forth , for e xcite ment, and on l y ended in earnest ; but this is dangerous Play w h en a man has honour and his interests both jeopardised. and his sense of the injustice of the parties acutely roused. There is an awful levity in such a course. As I be lieve in the justice of the public, which fears with rea son all monopolies, I shall pursue, and I believe its opinion expressed through its org ans wil l support me in so doing, my humble professio nal duti es in Court, and my other legal avocations on the Northern Cir cuit, which with me are now a duty. I hope, also, to find courtesy and consideration from some individual members of the bar. If conseq uences, in jurious to my pecuniary interests, flow, however, from that source, then I shall look to another remedy, and another class of the same profession, f or pro tection. Thi s p u bli c ity is painful to me, an d w i ll be more so to all those connected with me ; and for the gentleman who introduced me to Mr. Cresswell, I d eep l y feel, but a public duty combines with my personal inte rests, in bidding me thus arrest the disastrous whisper of slander. No body of persons, however powerful, can h a permitted by a free man, in this free land, to interfere directly, or otherwise, to impede by combination, any man's individual course in earning, or in adding to his means of li ve lih oo d . —l appea l, Sir, to public opi n i on, and —I h ave t h e h onour to rema i n , your obedie n t h umble servant, CHARLES F. BARKLEY, London, 20th March, 1839. Fanny Eisler met with a fall on Wednesday last at Paris, which is likely to keep her from the stege for two or three weeks. The intelligence of the Old Newcastle Bank, or the firm of Sir M. W. Ridley, Bigge, and Co. having, by a conjunction with the Northumberland and Durham District Banking Company, become extinct, excited a considerable sensation during the pzu Cweek, and has been for several days one of the principal topics of conversation. Messrs. Lambton and Co.'s highly respectable establisment is now the only private bank left in the town. —Tyne Mercury. IEXTRAORDINARY DEFENCE OF BIGANIY.— At the Tyrone assizes, a man named Henry O'Neill, was tried for bigamy, and in his defence called as a witness his second wife to prove that she had bought him from the first wife, and had paid her 3/. for her husband, being 1/. more than she asked. This witness said that the first wife had told her she had bought the prisoner with her father's money, and that she had therefore as much right to sell him as a cow or a pig. The prisoner on this seemed to feel that he had made out a complete case. The Jury, however, on being charged by the Judge, immediately found him guilty ; and, to his dismay and horror, his Lord ship sentenced him to seven years' transportation. PUBLICATIONS. In a few days, THE MARQUIS of NORMANBY'S SPEECH in the HOUSE of LORDS on LORD RODEN'S MOTION. Ridgway, Piccadilly. RENT. Dr. FLETCHER, in handing in twenty pounds from Bury, and twenty pounds from Heywood, towards the national rent, took that opportunity of stating that his short visit to those places had been productive of results the most successful with regard to the non-intro duction of the Poor-law into the former place. The attempt of putting that horrible measure into operation there, had been completely defeated. He had been instrumental in doing this, and to prevent the recurrence of a similar attack on the peoples rights, a vestry had been elected, the composition of which was of the right sort.—( Hear.) Dr. Fletcher reprobated the conduct of a Mr. J. Plint, a Baptist missionary, who had advised the people of Heywood to uurn their looms on the 2d of March, in order that no means might remain to them to earn their bread, which would com pel them to an outbreak, which he (Dr. Fletcher), took every means to prevent, and he was happy to say that the people were amenable to reason, for through all the district they had agreed to delay the expression of their feelings until after the presentation of the petition. From the Westbury Working Men's Association, 21. Mr. SANKEY handed in 45., being the weekly subscrip tions of five Journeymen Compositors, of Marylebone, who Mr. Sankey said had attended a meeting at which he presided, on last evening, held at Chesney's Rooms, Foley -street. -The meeting was numerous and respect able, and the greatest unanimity prevailed. Letters were read' from Mr. Bussey, giving very en couraging details his success in Yorkshire, where the people are all anxious to come forward in support of the Charter. Messrs. Bussey, Marsden, and Ryder, got leave of absence for one week. A letter was read by Dr. Taylor, from Mr. O'Brien, giving an account of his mission. Throughout his progress the agricultural population were most enthu siastic in their support of the Charter. At Chichester he would have a meeting in the Town Hall, on Thurs day, at which the Mayor was to preside. Deputations from the various towns in his route waited on him to induce him to delay his return, in order that they might be sufficiently organised into permanent Associations. FINANCES. The report of the Agitating Committee brought up by Mr. CARPENTER, recommending the payment of ten pounds, being the balance due to those members of the Convention who attended public meetings in London and its vicinity, over what had been received at those meetings, gave rise to a long and animated discussion. It was opposed by Mr. Richardson, Dr. Taylor, Mr. James Taylor, Dr. M'Dowall, and Mr. Pitkeithley, on the ground that the money of the people of the North should not be expended in agitating London, which was, or ought to be from its position, the working people in it being paid better than in the country, therefore better able to contribute funds for that purpose than the impo verished districts of the North. It was supported by Mr. Burns, Mr. Feargus O'Con nor, Mr. Neesom, and Mr. Hartwell. They argued that no expense should be spared to produce a proper feeling in the minds of the people of London, who - se apathy heretofore could only be accounted for, in conse quence of their not having a rallying point where their sentiments would be found to concentrate in a manner to promote the desired effect. The Report was adopted by a majority of eight. THE RIGHT TO ARM. The Committee appointed to make extracts from the Morning Chronicle (which extracts the readers of The Sun had before them last week) reported that they had collected the extracts, and had them ready for publica tion in a cheap form, that they might be distributed among the people. Its adoption was moved by Dr. Taylor, and seconded by Mr. Skevington. Dr. WADE opposed its being printed without it hav ing been subject to the opinion of Counsel. Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR did not wonder at the Reverend Doctor's opposition to the arming of the peo ple, it was but right that he should do so, as he was, by his profession, not at liberty to do otherwise. But if the worthy Doctor happened to be an Irish Parson, he would feel no qualms of conscience on this subject ; more than that, be had no doubt but like his brethren in that country, the worthy and Reverend Doctor would take every opportunity of using arms against the people. Surely the Reverend Gentleman could not object to what was recommended by the Morning Chronicle. That paper recommending the people to 'firm before theybecame united was an argument against Dr. Wade's advising union, before they should have the means in their hands of making that union effective.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'Connor) recommended that the matter should again go into Committee, that it might be considered whether it would or not be prudent to have some portions of it published in the public press. Mr. HURLEY supported Dr. Wade's view of the case. Mr. Whittle, Mr. Sankey, and Dr. Fletcher sup ported the adoption of the extracts. The suggestion of Mr. O'Connor was finally adopted. REPRESENTATION OF STROUD. Upon Mr. FROST having got the sanction of the Con vention for a week's absence, he stated, that although away from them he would still be found doing his duty to the people. He would to-morrow attend a public meeting in Gloucester, and on Monday next he would be present at the great meeting which was to be held in Stroud on that day, where he would not fail to put forth the conduct of Lord John Russell to his constituents in a light that would not fail, he supposed, to ensure that Nobleman an opportunity of re tiring from the representation of that independent town. He (Mr. Frost) would, on the dissolution of Parliament, which was an event that would speedily take place, contest that borough with his Lordship—and from what he knew of the people of that place, he was very confident of being returned in place of his Lordship. —(Hear, hear, and much cheering.) The thanks of the Convention was given to Mr. HARNEY for his impartial conduct in the Chair ; upon which the Convention dissolved. MU _.;e. D--, a young lady, who gained one of the first prizes at the last competition at the Conservatoire de Musique, and promised to become an ornament to the stage, was a few days ago standing alone with her back to the fire, when her dress was caught, and immediately burst into flames. She ran out on the stairs screaming for as sistance ; but before she could be relieved was so dreadfully burnt, that she soon after expired in dreadful agony. She was only sixteen.— Galignani's Messenger. MILLWRIGHTS.—There is, we regret to have occasion to state, a " strike" at present among the mill wrights or engineers of Newcastle. These men require an advance of Be. per week each in their wages, which their employers are unwilling to grant. The regular wages of journeymen have been for some time past, s believe, 245. per week, and with over work, we are informed, their earnings have been frequently as much as 30s, per week. Some of the masters, we have reason to think, have offered 2s. per week more,- but the offer has not been accepted.— Tyne Mercury. - OUR COMMERCIAL SYSTEM.-" Tuscany," says a report furnished to Dr. Bowring by the Tuscan Government, "essentially an agricultural country, and in no respect a manufacturing rival of England, has great reason to complain of the want of reciprocity on the part of the latter state. Most of the articles which Tuscany does or might furnish to England, are loaded with heavy, and many of them with prohibitory, duties by the British tariffs. Oil, tallow, wine, potash, juniper berries, are all oppressed by proportionally heavy duties, such as to prevent the extension of demand. For example. juni per-berries, of which a bale costs in Tuscany about 61.105.,- 4s. 4d., has to pay duties in England amounting to 171., or 1 ls. 4d. sterling. The cost of our wines is exceed ingly little, and it may be stated, without hesitation, that the duty on them payable in England is 1,000 per cent. Alabaster and scagliola works, organzine silks, manufac, tured silks, cream of tartar, are liable to heavy duties, and mostly levied on the quantity and not on the value. Equally heavy falls the duty on borax—Tuscany being the only European country that produces it." The duty on straw hats is 31. Bs. per dozen. The effect of this sweeping rule, is to tax the finest kinds to the extent of about 50— the coarser to the amount of 300 per cent., and thus to de prive the poorer classes of a cleanly and tasteful article of dress. But, like most restrictive attempts, the evil falls chiefly on ourselves. _ TELEGRAPHS.—Lieutenant Watson, superin tendent of the telegraphs in Liverpool, is now in Hull, at the invitation of the Chamber of Commerce, for the pur pose of making a survey and estimate of the expense of such an establishment from this port to the sea.—llull Observer.

NATIONAL EDUCATION. A most numerous and highly respectable meeting took place yesterday at the Freemason's Tavern, pursuant to notice, for the purpose of adopting resolutions to promote a comprehensive system of national education. Among those present we noticed,Sir Culling Eardly Smith, Mr. Baines, M.P., Mr. Charles Lushington, M.P., Sir Charles Style, M.P., Mr. Andrew White, M.P., Mr. Pease, M.P., Mr. Samuel Gurney, Dr. Liefchield, Dr. Fletcher, the Rev. R. Ainslie, the Rev. George Clayton, the Rev. Mr. Kirk, from the United States, the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, and several other per sons of eminence. Sir CULLING E. SMITH was unanimously called to the chair, upon taking which he shortly stated the ob ject of the meeting, and adduced as evidence of the went of education in the people ; the fact of Sir Wil liam Courtenay, better known by the name of Mad Thom, inducing a belief' in the 19th century in the county of Kent, that he was Jesus Christ. He also stated that the course pursued by the Chartists pointed out the necessity for education, because he would ven ture to say that but for the want of education the people would never be induced to follow the precepts pointed out by those individuals. In conclusion, he trusted that every person present would obtain an im partial hearing. Sir CHARLES STYLE, M.P., proposed the first reso tion, which was to this effect—that since the most vigorous measures were eminently and urgently required to render national education universal, that meeting could not but express satisfaction at the disposition recently manifested by the Government to afford addi tionional facilities for the instruction of the people upon liberal principles—especially at the expression of her Majesty's wish that the youth of the kingdom should be religiously brattetft), and the rigs or'conseience respected. It was incumbent on those who wished for a system of education based on religious principles to be up and doing, and boldly to set forth their opinions on the subject, in order that they might be brought under the consideration of the Legislature, and pressed upon the attention of the Government. The promoters of the present meeting called upon the Christian commu nity of the country to aid them in the great cause they had in view—namely, that of obtaining a national edu cation for the people of this country, and at the same time to secure that religious instruction based upon the rock of Christianity—the Bible. The object also of the present meeting was to resist every attempt whether it came from the Church or any other religious denomination, to infringe upon the rights of conscience. He most cordially con curred in the views that were taken by the present meeting, and he would do all in his power to aid so important an object. The Rev. D. LIEICHILD seconded the resolution. He went to the full extent of the fundamental principles of the glorious Reformation, for by that the Bible, and that alone, was the religion of Protest ants. What was the proposition of Government ? Why to lend assistance to all who sought to embue the children of the country with sound and religious educa tion, leaving them to adopt such a course in giving that education, as seemed just and right. He for one, re joiced in such a proposal, and he should therefore, se cond the resolution most cordially, which would have the effect of assisting that proposal. The CHAIRMAN before putting the resolution stated that lie had had an amendment put into his hands which he would read, and then ask the opinion of the meeting whether it ought to be put or not—for his own part, he must say, that he could not see that it had any relevancy to the subject of the present meeting, the object of which was to promote a com prehensive system of national education. Captain ACHERLEY believed that the present meeting was one for free discussion, and such being the case it was the duty of the Chairman to allow the amendment to be put.—(Confusion.) The CHAIRMAN said that considering the amendment was not within the limits of the purposes for which the meeting was convened, he should take the sense of those present before he put the amendment. Captain ACHERLEY —It is the public that make the meeting, and not the Committee ; and I insist on the amendment being put.—(Great confusion.) The CHAIRMAN said be should read the amendment, and then take the sense of the meeting upon it. After some observations from Capt. ACHERLEY, amid great confusion, in which he denied that the Chartists were rebels, The CHAIRMAN put the amendment to the meeting, which he declared to be negatived, and the original re solution carried. C. HINDLEY, Esq., M.P., proposed the next resolu tion, to the following effect :—That, as voluntary exer tions were oot at present to be depended upon, it was incumbent on Parliament to make a grant for national education. In allusion to what had just taken place, he felt bound to state that he was, as much as any man, a friend to free discussion, but there was a time for every thing.—(Cheers.) With reference to the present reso lution, he would ask what was the reason voluntary ex ertions could not be depended on in the cause of educa tion ? Why, because the people did not duly appreciate its importance.—(llear, hear.) He was sorry to say that the generality of the people wished more to know what a man was worth, than what he had in his head. In his opinion, while wealth was preferred to know ledge, it was idle to talk of placing England, as far as education was concerned, high in the scale of nations.—(Cheers.) The generality of the English squires felt more for their fox-hounds than they did for the lads and lasses that danced on their village greens. —(Great cheering.) In some parts of the country cri minals were employed to teach children.—( Hear, hear.) From what cause did the meeting think ? Why, for the purpose of saving an expense of 401. to the country. —(Cries of " Shame.") What was the amount of the Parliamentary aid proposed ?

" not say those gentlemen were not actuated by good mo tives, but supposing that persons who had bad motives in view had come forward at a meeting in the country, he knew the course that would be pursued there—viz., that of turning them out.—(Great cheering.) There was, however, in metropolitan meetings, a species of refine ment that he had never before witnessed, they heard everything but that which they ought to hear.—( Cheers.) He was sorry to have occasion to make these observations but it appeared to him necessary, in order to carry out the objects of the present meeting, that there should be no farther interruption. The resolution that he had to propose was, " That since the public money ought not to be granted apart from the right and power of securing its faithful and effectual application, it was essential that the Government should have the right of inspecting all schools, and testing the qualifications of all teachers, where aid was granted by Parliament." He considered that if the people were called upon to contribute to a system of national education, that system ought to be universal.—(Cheers.) A person present inquired if be would admit Roman .1 Catholics and Jews into the schools. Mr. BAINES could see no objection, provided that opinions consonant with those were entertained by the Committee. A. WHITE, Esq., M.P., seconded the resolution. lie was not unfriendly to the Established Church, but he objected to the arrogant claims it had put forth. —(Hear, hear.) He considered it highly improper that that Establishment should have all the benefit, of the public grants for education. If any distinction was made it ought to be in favour of those schools, the instruction in which was based upon the Holy Scrip tures alone. It was the want of sound education, in his opinion, that had led to the committal of a vast quan tity of crime in the country. The resolution was carried unanimously. The Rev. Dr. FLETCHER proposed the next resolu tion, which was to the effect, that as government could not superintend every system of education in the coun try, local committees should be appointed, and that in parishes or districts where only one school was aided by the Government, no child should receive religious in struction which its parent or guardian should disap prove of. The Rev. A. WELLS seconded the resolution. Mr. PEASE, M.P., supported the resolution. li e was for hating, with general education, general liberty. --(Cheers.) He trpsted that the example which Tad been set by that meeting would be followed through out the country, and that the result would he the es tablishment of a general system of education. The resolution was then put to the meeting and declared to be carried unanimously. The Rev. GEORGE CLAYTON moved the next resolu tion, which was to the effect, that it was the opinion of the meeting that the division of responsibility to local committees was the only mode to be adopted to insure an efficient system of national education. In his opi nion, there ought to be no exclusiveness or monopoly in education. He felt proud of the course that had been pursued by the Illustrious female who now swayed the sceptre of this great country.—(Cheers.) She bay; shown herself a true scion of the House of Hanover, and proved herself worthy of her Royal grandfather, whose greatest wish was, that every poor child in his dominions should be taught to read the Bible. The Rev. Mr. KIRK, from the United States, se conded the resolution, which was declared to be carried unanimously. Mr. ALEXANDER proposed the next resolution, whieN was to the effect that in all schools wholly sustained out of the public funds, it was essential that no religious formula should be introduced which would exclude any persons from being teachers. The Rev. JAMES FREEMAN seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. WILLIAM ALLEN moved the last resolution, which was the appointment of a Committee to carry out the objects of the previous resolutions. The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously, and the Committee ap pointed. A vote of thanks was then proposed and carried to the Chairman for his able and impartial conduct in the Chair, and the meeting separated. THE ARMY.

Accounts have been received from St. John's, Nerd Brunswick, to the 25th ult., by which it appears that the Governor was preparing the Militia for active service, and that detachments of troops had been moved upon the disputed territory.

Friday the first division of the 15th Hussars arrived at Chatham, under the command of Major Sir W. Scott, prior to their embarkation for the East Indies. The same day a detachment of the 51st regiment marched to Gravesend, to embark for New South Wales, under Captain Rolfes. Detachments of the 13th light dragoons, consisting of ninety-two men, arrived at the depot, Maidstone, from Canterbury, on the 20th and 21st inst., under the com mand of Captain Knox and Lieutenant Hanson.
