"Few now-a-days," says the Spectator, " willdeny the necessity of placing a civil education within the reach of all classes who are required to obey the law, and therefore should be enabled to know what they are to obey ; few will deny that education adminis tered by the Church must be practically denied to Dissenters ; and therefore, in some shape or other, education must be attainable without the ecclesiastical accompaniments. The onus, however, lies on those who assert that secular and ecclesiastical education must go together—a task not yet performed." There is much truth in our weekly Contemporary's re mark that a system of popular instruction ad ministered by the Church, " must be practically denied to Dissenters," for it is impossible that Dis sent, holding the views it does on the subject of the Establishment, can ever permit its children to receive their education at its hands. The two parties do not merely stand aloof from, but are in direct antagonism to, each other. The dogmas which orthodoxy clings to with the most rigid tenacity, are precisely those which heterodoxy holds in the greatest abhorrence• The former maintains the expediency of a close al liance with the State as being advantageous to the interests of both; the latter repudiates such alliance as being fraught with injury to the cause of true re ligion, and tending to no worthier or more useful ob ject than increasing the influence of priestcraft. Or thodoxy, though not absolutely opposed to it, is in many instances jealous of freedom of opinion and inquiry ; whereas it is in this same freedom that heterodoxy has its foundations. The one would confine educa tion within narrow limits ; the other would have it comprehensive in its range, and conducted on enlarged principles. It is clear, then, that if the Church is to administer instruction to the masses, Dissent must keep away from its schools, and either allow its humbler and poorer children to continue in ignorance, or else instruct them in institutions of its own. But as education carried on on this system must be con fined, comparatively speaking, to the few, and cannot possibly embrace the majority of those who stand in need of it, we see no reason why the Spectator's judicious view of the ques tion should not be adopted, and popular instruction be afforded " without the ecclesiastical accompaniments." The experiment is well worth making, and none but High Church bigots could offer any objection to it; but surely it is not the duty of Government to legis late solely in accordance with the prejudices of these people, who, however noisy and blustering they may be, constitute, we are willing to believe, but a small - portion of the community ! The notorious failure of Sir .1. GRAHAM'S Education Bill the year before last—notwithstanding, as we admitted at the time, it had some good points in it—must have con vinced him that either some such medium plan as our weekly Contemporary suggests, must be adopted, or else the great question of national instruction must be abandoned altogether, and the masses be left to shift for themselves. But this is not for an instant to be thought of. If there be one public necessity more pressing than another—if there be one " great fact" more generally acknowledged than another—it is, that the people should be put in possession, with as little delay as possible, of the inestimable blessings of a sound prac tical education, adapted to their own particular wants, and the character of the age in which they live, and which hundreds of them may, perhaps, at no distant period, assist to mould. There is no such sure guarantee for national tranquillity as national educa tion. Instruct the people, as they have a right to be instructed, not in slavish accordance with this creed or that, but in the comprehensive truths of religion and mo rality, and you at once quench the blazing torch of Swing, and put an end to the midnight excesses of Cap tain Rock. Of course, however, the Post is in arms to resist the Spectator's suggestion ; and in reference to the Church's claims as sole instructress of the people, says that the only " education which will make the autho rity of the laws respected, will be one which by the cultivation of the moral faculties, shall induce not only the knowledge of virtue, but the love of it, and by the ministration of religion shall rear a race of loyal citizens, honest men, and faith ' ful Christians." This is perfectly true; but is the Church the only party capable of educing the moral faculties of the people, exciting in them a love of virtue, and making them good citizens and good Christians ? Cannot Dissent put in practice an equally valuable system of instruction, and educate the masses, quite, as efficiently as the Chur c h, i n th e sublime truths orreligion and morality ? We have no patience with such one-sided bigotry as that ex hibited by our morning Contemporary, and feel assured that it will find an echo in the breasts but of few, even of his own party readers. have Princes, or had, of Ponte Corvo, Moskowa, Eckmahl, and many other nobles with foreign titles, all calculated to humble continental States, while we have not one member in the House of Peers with a title that can recal any painful feeling to Frenchmen. If the writers in these journals had any sense of pro priety, or common fairness, they ought to acknow ledge the fact, and render England an act of justice, by saying that she had shown great moderation in all her victories, and that only in two or three instances had she imitated Imperial France. But nothing would satisfy these fire-eaters. Were Queen 'VICTORIA to turn the " Waterloo Gallery" into " Louis Philippe's Gallery," or call it by any other name, however flatter ing to their national pride, they would say the new title was only the offspring of fear, or granted to M. GUIZOT as a bribe for some atrocious sacrifice of the interests of France. These remarks are not addressed to the great body of the French people, whom all who know them must admire for their honesty and bravery ; they are addressed to the most bitter ene mies of France and England. We have received Madrid journals of the 4th inst. Great anxiety prevailed in the capital respecting the new measures to be proposed by the Government on the meeting of the Cortes. It was generally believed that the Cabinet would hang together till that period at least, and submit to the Chambers a plan for re constructing the Constitution, and establishing such organic laws as might seem advisable. In case the measures should be rejected they would resign in a body. The Heraldo announces that the conversion of the Floating Debt into Three per Cent. Stock had been at last concluded at the rate of 40 per cent. It was believed that the publication of the two de crees for the converson of the Floating Debt and the convention with the San Fernando Bank, for the pay ment of the interests on the Three per Cents., would take place simultaneously ; but the Minister of Fi nance had wished to keep the two affairs distinct, in order to avoid everything that might promote specula tion in the public funds. The Three per Cents. were done at 27k, the Five per Cents. at 20k, and the Coupons at 27, at 60 days. The following telegraphic dispatch announcing the arrival of the KING of the FRENCH at Windsor Castle, on Tuesday (not Monday, as stated yecter day), appeared in the Paris journals of Thursday : Calais, 9th of October, Four in the Afternoon.— ' Windsor, Bth, Five in the Afternoon.—The KING arrived in good health at Windsor at two o'clock. Prince ALBERT went to Portsmouth, and met the KING on board the Goiner. The QUEEN received him at the bottom of the grand staircase of the Castle. His MAJESTY received from the population on the road the most lively and cordial welcome." " The London papers of Tuesday," says Galignani, " reached us late this morning (Thursday), the wea ther in the Channel yesterday having retarded the ar rival of the Calais packet. 'We subjoin the fullest de tails of the arrival of his Majesty Louis PHILIPPE in England, the fact of which had been already re ceived by telegraph. It will be seen that the special attentions of the KING'S royal hosts, and the reception of his MAJESTY by the people, were in every sense equally worthy the ancient character of England for hospitality, and of the illustrious monarch upon whom they were bestowed." The Journal des Debats bas a long and excellent article in support of the KING'S Government, and against the war party in France. "We at once admit," says that journal, " that, if it were possible that foreign nations could mistake the spirit which animates the Opposition journals for the expression of public opinion in France, they must indeed form a poor opinion of us. They would believe us to be a quarrelsome, meddling, boasting people, affected with an incurable Don Quixotism ! All Europe is aware that France enjoys —thanks to the wisdom of her Go vernment—an unheard-of degree of prosperity and of liberty, of which no other nation affords an example. Europe well knows that the French Government, whilst it maintained general peace, never suffered any injury to be inflicted on our interests or on our dignity. She knows that recent victories have again conferred honour on our arms in Africa, and con solidated French dominion in Algeria. All Europe, in fact, is unanimous in celebrating the humane, liberal, and pacific Prince who places his glory in never having sullied his reign by any of the crimes which politics have too long excused, and which the folly of men have sometimes classed amongst great actions. What opinion would Europe • form of us if, judging of France by the Opposition, it could believe that we were impatient to quit this state of peace and of tranquillity, that we were tired of happiness, and that we had a thirst for the drama of revolutions and of war ? What would she think of us if she could mistake for the voice of the country the cries of the Opposition, which sees not, or will not see, the honours which the crowned representative of France and of the Revolution of July is at this moment receiving in a foreign country are honours paid to the Revolution ? Oh ! no doubt we should appear very small, very mean, ;And incapable of enjoying true glory and true liberty ! Fortunately, however, France is known to foreign nations, and that gives us confidence. We fear not that the Opposition be confounded with France. The Opposition is small, quarrelsome, and basely envious. France is great and peaceable. These people who are driving their country into war, are revolted when they are called the war party ; and they are right in some respect in rejecting this qualification. Their common sense tells them that war would be a fright ful scourge for the whole earth. If they were to plunge their country into a war, they would be the very first to lament it and groan in their hearts. Their success would confound them. They court passions which they know to be bad and baleful. They blame with their mouths that which in their consciences they approve of ; and if they had less con fidence in the wisdom of the Government they insult, in the courage of the Minister whom they treat as a coward, they would not venture to be so bellicose in their language. M. GUIZOT will maintain peace— and this is their reliance. The war they make is but a war against the Ministry. If, however, their suc cess should be greater than they wish—if the country should in the end fancy itself dishonoured—oh, then, indeed! so much the worse for France! She would hate to get out of her difficulties in the best way she could. What would you ? One must be something, and when one is not in the Ministry, where can one be if not in the Opposi tion ? Let us then make opposition ! The KING is going into England. The Queen of BRITAIN came first to visit him in France—all Europe is attentive, and more than one King, perhaps, looks in spite on this union of two Governments who hold in their hands the peace of the world. The Constitutional King of FRANCE will receive in a free country marks of sympathy, which are not granted to ab solute monarchs. We are no longer in those days when to be prodigal of caresses, while ,the parties only thought of cutting one another's throats, passed for a master-piece of policy. This approximation of the Revolution of 1688 to the Revolution of 1830 is a great and solemn event. But M. GUIZOT is Minister! The KING'S journey into England is, therefore, the coup-de-grace of our national dignity, and in the ex pression of its spite the dynastic Opposition goes far beyond the radical Opposition. We have said that the Opposition is well known abroad; but, happily , France is well known there also, and, this No popular rights derived from ancient, and almost forgotten charters, or from local custom having the force of common law rights, are so liable to produce encroachment, and even to final usurpation, as forest rights and rights of common, in the poorer inhabi tants of various districts in this country—which are still more or less uninclosed. On this account we have always endeavoured to watch every indica tion bespeaking (under pretexts however colourable or plausible) a design to press an Inclosure Act in respect of such localities as we speak of. We have reason to believe that our efforts in these cases have not been altogether unavailing (in some instances) to arrest, and perhaps to avert, a species of spoliation on the ancient rights of the community, and especially the poor, to which legal chicanery and speculation are too often not only consenting, but suggesting and abetting parties. By such means it is that in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, and in the su burban vicinity, of all our great towns, by slow, but sure, degrees, the parish green, the village common, the green and pleasant lanes, the old familiar grove, with its tall elms or beeches, and its cawing rookery ; the " close," or the " croft," with its trim hedges, and its usually nearest path out of the " people's hive" into the silent but more cheerful country ; the green, destined for the sports, and even the copses and woods, resorted to by the holiday folk for their plea sure and recreation—one by one disappear. They are expunged from the very map of the district. These open spaces, these breathing grounds for the people, are absorbed, the people know not how, into the sudden possession of individuals, the people know not whom. Some interloper drops, as if from the clouds, upon the land; and it is as effectually secluded from those who were wont, as their fathers had been before them, to enjoy its healthful amenities, as if clouds enveiled it for evermore. What the demands of increasing trade or extensive manufactures have not laid off in streets and warehouses, and mills and factories, these fortunate " squatters by Act of Parliament," suddenly surround with trenches, which yield, in due time, to the park fencing, or the more substantial brick wall. In districts purely rural, the wondering peasant is first astonished at ob serving some favourite ancient tree falling beneath the axe of a strange woodman, under the authority of the " strange gentleman" who has just come down to occupy the great house hard by, and is taking in his right of common from the waste. In a few days more, more trees are felled, hitherto regarded by the same peasant as objects sacred as the neighbouring church itself from such profanation. The work goes on. It is everybody's business to challenge the autho rity by which it is all done ; and, therefore—nobody challenges. The villagers are hemmed in, cribbed upon here ; shut out there ; curtailed in this hundred ; shifted in that ; till at last neither common nor croft, nor grove, nor green, nor copse remain to them. They are ousted. The fortunate owner of " the large white house" is discovered to be entitled, under some smuggled-through " Private Bill," to the five hundred acres of waste (that had afforded exer cise, solace, and health, to five hundred of the poorer people, haply for five hundred years before), about the same time that his first drains are cut, and his first gate-posts are set up. This is no exaggerated sketch of the history and results of an Inclosure Act. For many years past there have been, at least, a dozen of such illustra tions supplied by every session of Parliament. But these are not the only modes in which the rights of common and waste, that we desire to protect, are shamefully infringed upon. Let us take, for example, one of the most perfect and noble sylvan remains of which this once forest-covered country can now boast—(and it is within even a walk of the metro polis)—we mean Epping Forest. We have lately witnessed, with indignation as well as regret, the barefaced encroachments that are being daily made, on the common forest land, in the immediate vicinity of the Bald-faced Stag, at the top of the hill above the Woodford-gate; again, in other parts of the Forest in the neighbourhood of the property of Mr. CONYERS, of Copped Hall; of Mr. MILLs, near Theydon ; and at other points which we could name. Some of the gentlemen whose estates adjoin the scenes of these encroachments are, if we mistake not, Forest officers themselves, rejoicing in the title of " Verderers." Are they, also, the landlords of the tenements built there ? And if so, under what title do they assume the power to lease the soil, for their own benefit ? If they are cognizant of the en croachments we speak of, especially the felling of timber, do they permit them as landlords or as Verderers ? Who derive the benefit of the timber felled—themselves or the tenants ? Is it the right of either ? Does it, or does it not, belong to the Crown ? Are the Commissioners of Woods and Forests aware of these proceedings ? May we ask, too, what took place last week at the "Forty Days' Court," at which it was understood Mr. COPELAND, M.P. (who has, with a degree of public spirit and disinterestedness highly honourable to him, protested against the inefficient discharge of their duty by these Verderers), intended to compel more explanations on these points, or, failing in that object, to originate a petition to the Crown for the removal of the autho rities in question. The matter involves important public privileges and interests ; and we shall - be happy to receive any authentic information about it. We cannot afford to see Epping Forest desecrated by squire-jobbing in "waste lands," it is that gives us confidence. 1 : 1 : e have no apprehension that one will be . confounded with the other. The Opposit .... ;- ,,a is petty, quarrelsome, - - t and basely envious— 'rance is great and peaceful ; and blind, indeed ration ' ' must they be who doubt of her mode- ; 9r. , aer peaceful spirit, her profound ..per the proof s s he h as g i ven during a seri(l-2,scretion, es of four teen years. It is she who has put the curb on the restive parties, and who, despite of the Opposition, has left it to flounder in an impotent minority. It is she who has given to her Government force enough to establish order and maintain peace amidst conspi racies, plots, assassinations, revolts, and intrigues more dangerous perhaps than open violence ! With out the support of the country what could the Go vernment have done ? How ably, without going further back, did it bring back to order the spirits excited by the follies of 1840. No, no ! Be quiet ! You may be called hot-headed, narrow-minded, fractious, but the dignity of France will not suffer ; for you are not France, nor will France be judged of by you. We thank neeven that her cause is not yours 1" The French Opposition journals express great in dignation that an entertainment should be given to Louis PHILIPPE in the Waterloo Gallery ; but the Queen of ENGLAND cannot help this. It is the only hall in the Castle fit for such a purpose ; and if there is anything offensive in the name, the complainants are the parties to blame. The French Imperialists set us the example. They have their bridge of Jena, and their pillar of Austerlitz; and why should not England have her Waterloo Gallery, Wpt el l oo . bridge, and Trafalgar-square ? They have Dukes of Dtdmiltia,, Rovigo, and Montebello. They The accounts in the English papers of the affair THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING OCTOBER 12, 1844 betwden Lieutenant Rose and the French naval cap tain at Otaheite, has excited some bitter remarks from the war party, as if the insult, if insult it was, had been offered to the French officer. Several of the Ministerial papers contradict the report as intelli gence had been received by the French Government to the 11th of May, while the affair is stated to have taken place on the 7th of April. The following ap pears in the Moniteur : " Reports from the Governor of the French establish ments in the Pacific arrived to-day (Wednesday) at the office of the Minister of Marine and Colonies. These re ports are to the 11th of May. They make no mention of the accident which is said to have taken place relative to an officer of the English navy, and of which several journals of this morning have copied accounts from the London papers. No new engagement has taken place since the affair of the 17th of April, in which the insur gents entrenched at Mahaena were defeated and dis persed. On the Ist of May the King's fete was cele brated at Papeiti with pomp, and amidst the most per fect order. The chiefs of all the districts of Otaheite end of the island of Eimeo were invited to attend. Almost all of them were present at the ceremony, accompanied by the principal personages of each district, and they showed dispositions of goodwill and of conciliation, which Governor Bruat considered as very satisfactory." The greatest excitement took place on the Paris Bourse when it was known that the contracts for the Orleans and Bordeaux line of railway were finally declared. The Constitutionnel gives this account of the scene : " The adjudication was scarcely terminated, when the speculators hurried off in their cabriolets to the Bourse. It was a veritable steeple chase. In the Rue de Varen nes, the horse of one party having come down, the per sons in the cabriolet hurried off, to arrive at the temple of fortune, without giving a thought to the fate of the driver and horse. We may well say temple of fortune, since in the first hour the shares of the Mackenzie Com pany realised as much as 90f., and those of the Company Bartholony 125 f. of prime on the share of 500 f." The following appears in the Siecle " There has been scandalous goings on at the Bourse during the last few days. The promises of shares of the different Companies which intended to offer tenders for the Orleans and Bordeaux Railroad were made the ob ject of frightful jobbing. Never was the gambling now prohibited by law carried on in a more barefaced way. Simple promises, which the following day might prove to be valueless, were sold at considerable premiums, and this in spite of the King's Commissioner, who is ap pointed to see that the Bourse does not degenerate into a mere gaming-house. What is the meaning of these negotiations ? The subscription itself for shares in undertakings of which the naturo and condition are un known is very irregular, the parties who subscribe not knowing what they pledge themselves to, or what they obtein_ because they are ignorant of the extent of the sacrifices agreed by the managing Committee ; but, as if this irregularity were not great eiveigh, a new one is introduced.

E'en he who chain'd the monster War, and tamed his myrmidons, And strove to teach by acts and speech Gaul's frantic factious sons, To teach that Peace has brighter charms and blessings for their race, Than e'er the course of Victor's force could in his triumphs trace Then hail and welcome to the Prince! his gen'rous aims advance, All glory to the peaceful King, the good old mais of Franco.

CONCLUSION Uh' THE INQUEST The inquest was resumed yesterday, when after the examination of several witnesses, Mr. Hutchbury, at twenty minutes past four o'clock, the foreman of the jury, said they had heard sufficient evidence to enable them to make up their minds as to their verdict. The CORONER remarked that it was for the jury to call for more evidence if they wished it. The jury replied that they had heard sufficient. The CORONER then ordered the room to be cleared, which was immediately done. After deliberating about a quarter of an hour, the jury found the following THE ADDRESS OF THE CORPORATION TO THE KING OF THE FRENCH.—The Lord Mayor iss ue d di rect i ons yesterday, that the deputation appointed t o wa i t upon Corpor a ti on Add ress, past ten o'clock.

LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.--On Friday evening Mr. James Raleigh Baxter delivered a lecture at this institution, on the design of a self-supporting society, in conformity with the Christian religion. Em ployment tio n in agriculture, everything a s th relating to the society,e main pu r s u it, an d mu tual co-op co-operation comprised the groundwork of the system proposed. Mr. Baxter took a clear and comprehensive view of the com petitive principle, as advocated by the political econo• mists, first considering it in the abstract in contrast with the charities of Christianity ; and then, with reference to its results, as evidenced by statistical facts. The ar gument, which was strong and logical, went to show that the wealthy and the poor increase together in an inverse ratio, by competition, while the middle classes of society gradually become extinct', and which was the re sult in the Roman Empire towards its decline. FECUNDITY OP I'HE CANARY.—There is a person living near Cowley Hall, in the parish of Hillingdon, , who has a pair of canaries, which have had no less than six nests between the 2d of April and the 4th of this month (September), hatching sixteen canaries, two nightingales, and one greenfinch, making in all the large number of nineteen. The whole, with the exception of the nightingales, which by some accident got smothered in the nest, have turned out strong healthy birds. The total number of eggs laid by this pair during the season was twenty-four, CAUTION.—A practice has been lately discovered in this neighbourhood which leads to a suspicion that a system is adopted by some servants of obtaining fic titious characters; it th e ref ore b e h oves m asters kid Mis tresses to be very circumspect in reeeiving, without due inquiry, any character which they may obtain from parties referred Ile. In the case we have reported to us, a female o.l.'plied for a situation as cook, and referred for her character to a clergyman living at a village in Suff.:at; a letter was addressed to this evntiernani and a satisfactory reply, as to c om pet en cy o.ll'd ttaracter, was received; but the answer was couched iii such singiilar language, and the orthography sd iiidiff4eikt; that the deception was at once di3cov4?td, and the woman re jected. We hope, fet the sake of example, that the case will be thorottgnly investigated, and the parties ills ' - cated exposed,— Ozeineford Chronitle, i ftie Rev.

VERDICT " That the said Thomas Dryden, George Dryden, Robert Dryden, and James Dryden, and Edward Ni cholson, together with ninety persons, being employed in working in the Haswell Colliery, were therein and then accidentaliy burnt, scorched, and killed, by an ex plosion of fire-damp, and we further say that no blame is attributable to any one connected with the pit, and we also further say that the said Thomas Dryden, George Dryden, Robert Dryden, and James Dryden, and Edward Nicholson, came to their death by accident, and so say we all." The verdict was then recorded by the Coroner, after which the jury were immediately discharged. Thus terminated the long and painful inquiry con nected with this melancholy occurrence—an occurrence, which, considering the awful amount of life that has been sacrificed, has seldom been equalled. A subscription has been set on foot for the benefit of the relatives of the sufferers, which already approaches to near 2,0001. The owners of the Haswell Colliery have contributed the munificent sum of 7451. FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, OCT. 10.—The average price of wheat, last week, was 19E: 21c., and that of rye la. 47c. The prices are nearly the same as for several weeks past, and there is consequently no change in the import and ex port duties. Several merchants of Brussels have just addressed to the Minister of the Interior, and the Minister of Finance, a letter, remonstrating against the projected augmenta tion of the duties on printed calicoes imported from England. The Princess Mary steamer left Ostend on Tuesday, with 110 passengers, among whom were several inhabi tants of our provincial cities, who avail themselves of the fine weather, as well as the cheapness and convenience of this mode of travelling, to visit London.

(Before the AssisrANT JUDGE, and a Bench of Magistrates.) Mr. Peter M'Donald, master-shipwright, a well dressed man, surrendered to take his trial for assaulting Richard Morley, the foreman of a gang of ship-caulkers, on the 9th of May last. Mr. Woolridge appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence. It appeared, on behalf of the complainant, that he was engaged with other men, by the defendant, to caulk the Blessing brig, lying in the dock adjoining Duke's yard, Limehouse. Some disagreement ensued between the parties, as to the progress of the work, and the defendant struck him a violent blow on the mouth, and otherwise so severely assaulted him that he was laid up for eight days. Mr. CLARKSON, for the defendant, characterised the prosecution as a trumpery one, that ought never to have been brought into Court. The jury found the defendant Guilty, and he was fined 81 UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) John Newman, a young man in the employ of an oil and colourman in Harper-street, Newington, was charged with presenting a pistol at John Homer, a policeman of the M division. The policeman stated that on the preceding night, while on duty in Harper-street, his attention was called to the prisoner, under the Influence of liquor, flourishing a pistol about. The policeman went up, and, addressing the prisoner, advised him to go home, upon which he immediately presented a pistol at him, at the same time muttering a threat. The policeman wrested the weapon from him, and found it was loaded nearly to the muzzle. The prisoner said, that a bottle of turpentine upset in his master's shop, and that, in saving a portion of it, it made him very unwell; that his master gave him a glass of brandy to turn the sickness, and that it made him tipsy, and, while in that state, he took the pistol out of his master's roan, and had no recollection of what took place afterwards. The prisoner's master being present, Mr. COTTINGHAM gave him a severe lecture on the impropriety of having such deadly weapons within the reach of the young man, who might have shot the policeman on the occasion, and that his (the master's) conduct was more culpable than that of his servant. The MAGISTRATE, haying cautioned the prisoner as to his future behaviour, discharged him. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BETTING AT MANCHESTER --FRIDAY.
