SPIRIT OP THE PITBLIO JOTTRI4AL . the Times devotes a leader to the topics shed by the commercial circulars which have jus beenAgOactaLLEvY in such great numbers. The sale of agricult s meats last year was beyond all precedent, and is s Mt" creasing. The American cheese imported last year was nearly half as much again as in the year before, but yet . has met with successful competition from our own produce. This speaks well for importers, home producers, and con sumers. Our wheat crop, not to speak of other grain, is computed to have been shor t by about three million quarters, which will have to be made up by increasing the imports to about ten millions. We need not say what this means for our shipping, and the foreign demand for our manu factures. The p:Jtato crop, by the way, was the worse since the great failure. Tim.; killed, or e:-:patriat:.s.d, about two of persons —so our .Trish :tale nri t:c3 aro c:ally assuring 113 ; %via pr,;baLly dvs!.rey nor banish one sing'.o human being; so much improved arc cur circumstances since MIS. Cotton, which cur rnanuf.4etur:r3 a f.r.v years ago were moving heaven and earth to chealien by all manner of men" 'gas been cheapenin:; rather too fast last year ; so fast, inc.oed, that it was bar lly possible to exe7l7te an order fast enough net to be bcat,n by the fall in price which had intervened. It appears, however, to be thought that prices will not fall lower, and that we have attained to what was the consum mation most wished for some years ago—a steady and suf ficient eupply of cheap cotton. Freights are high, thanks chiefly to the short harvest and the Abyssinian expedition. " The past year has been uneventful in the dried fruit trade," the only incident seemingly being a currant crop of indifferent quality, leading to some " bold" speculations. But it is evident these luxuries are in as much request as ever. The shipments of hemp from the Baltic last year were several millions of tons short of the year before. Whether the crop of last year, believed to be abundant, would supply the deficiency is not known ; nor, indeed, does it much matter, as we are now importing an immense quantity of Sisal hemp—a new fibre from Mexico, strong enough for many purposes. Indigo has been very remunerative to the importers. There is no reason to find fault, we are told, with the year's operations in linseed. The metal trade, with the single exception of tin, has been as bad as bad could be ; but " we have seen the worst." In petroleum, which nol,:ody had lu ten years ago, there have .. oeen heavy stocks and declining prices ; but the Consumption, chiefly among the poor, still increases. An expected home rival 'to be made out of coal will not pay, and - we may expect better days for . petroleum. The silk trade still drags. The worms and the mulberries are not numerous enough to make up for partial failure. As for sugar, it is enough to ob serve that we are consuming more than ever, and that, strange to say, the United States are producing more than ever. Under ter. we have chiefly to - note that Indian tea is gaining upon Chinese for some qualities and uses, and that the grocers have formidable rivals in the publicans. Our imports of timber have been increasing enormously, and we are now importing immense quantities of wood worked for house building. Tobacco, we are told, ought to rise, expecially the better qualities. The imports of wine are increasing, except from the Rhine and Portugal, and it really appears that we are becoming again a wine drinking people. Last on the list, the import of Austra lian wool, which a few years back, even while in its embro state, was one of the wonders of the age, has been much greater than ever, but has been actually beaten this last year by the imports from the River Plate, and, as • might be expected, the prices have gone down con siderably. • 4.W1 , A "(TER Covert-garden Op SUP. _ _ _ .•••••••.'" !~ VANTS?

By MATILDA BETITAM EDWARDS, A special meeting of the Birmingham Chamber pf Corn 'nerce was held yesterday afternoon ; Mr. George Dixon, M.P., in the chair. The circular stated that "TL , council have received application from the Government to furnish information en the subject ; they therefore wish to obtain such facti as will estaLlish the need of tcchn:cal education, and to suggest the kind of technical schools required. Facts are, therefore, requested bearing upon the question." There was a large attendance. Mr. Bernhard Samuelson had promised to attend, but at the last moment sent a telegram regretting his inability to do so ; Mr. Mundel7a, of Nottingham, was present. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, explained that at the last meeting of the Associated Chambers of Com merce this subject had been discussed, that had led to an interview with Lord Hobert Montagu, and the result was an inquiry on the part of the Government as to what trades had been injured by the want of technical education, and what was the best plan to adopt with the view to bring about a remedy of the evil. The great importance of the subject was beyond a doubt in Birmingham ; their trades were not only extensive, but of a very varied character. They bad Art Schools. The question was now about having Science Schools.; and they must shew to the Government that they could not afford to wait ; the time had come when the Go vernment must take the matter in hand completely. Mr. Mundella then entered into a detailed account of his ex periences of the educational system, and more especially of technical education on the Continent. He referred to Mr. Samuelson's pamphlet, and expressed his opinion that if we had much to fear from France, we had more from Germany. He entered into statistics in reference to the educational system in Saxcny, which he described as the best in Europe ; not a child, in that country could pos sibly be taught less than what was called the " primary education " there. With respect to our manufacturing industry, he said that, in his opinion, we were not going back : we were moving on progressively, but that un fortunately other countries were progressing much faster • than we were ; they were applying art and science in a way which we at present do not understand. One result was that at that very time, as he knew, silk was being sent from Nottingham and Leicester to be dyed black ; that was because of our defective knowledge of chemistry. Those were cases which must be met. The defective education among our people was truly lamentable ; there was a family of fifteen in the district which Lord John Manners represented, not one of whom could either read or write ; not 10 per cent. of our working population were fit to touch " technical education ; " many years must elapse before much could be done, but we must set about it at once. What the country wanted was as thorough a man in the education movement as Mr. Cobden was in free trade. Mr. Field, an American merchant, and chairman of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce, expressed similar views. Thirty years ago, he said, in every hardware store in America, one-third of the value were goods sent from the Birmingham district ; now the value was not 1-10th. English manufacturers did not possess the faculty of adaptibility as did those of America; they used our raw material and sent the goods to various markets ; here the brain power was wanting ; that was only to be got through the school. Here the men set up their rules and raised difficulties with manufacturers which the educated men of other countries did not. The educa tional screw was wanted from the bottom before we could get to a better system. Mr. John Lowo was for begin ning- at the foundation, and not attempting too much at once. In his opinion the working men had been made too much fuss of in late years, and they were immensely better paid than labour in other countries ; he wanted to see the " City Arabs " in a course of training, instead of going for " technical education" at one great leap. Mr. W. C. Aitken admitted that much was required for the lower class, but for technical education we could not afford to wait. A discussion of a somewhat discursive character took place, which lasted nearly three hours, but scarcely a suggestion of a practical character was made. Mr. Wag ner said that the foreign manufacturers availed themselves of our best models, and Mr. Mundella observed that UNOHEON BAR, GLASSHOUSE-STREET (One door from Regent-street), CUISINE FRANCAISE, &c.

Glen, 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment, have been planed under orders for embarkation, to join the service companies of their respective regi ments in India. During the last few days extra precautions have been adopted by the officials for the safety of the powder magazines at Upnor Castle, Chatham, in compliance with instructions received to that effect. fler Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Adder has been relieved of her ordinary harbour duties, and is moored off the arsenal, a number of warrant officers and seamen, in addition to the ordinary vessel's crew, being placed on board for special service by day and night ; Lieuts: Morrell and Oliver, of the Wellesley, 72, having charge of the vessel and crew. A couple of Armstrong guns have also been placed on beiard, and during yesterday nettings to prevent boarding parties getting on board the vessel were being fixed. Throughout the night armed boats' crews are constantly sailing backward and forward along the harbour frontage of the castle, and every boat passing after nightfall is challenged and over hauled. A careful survey of the approaches to Upnor Castle from the land side has been made by Gen. Murray, accompanied by the officers of the Royal Engineer establishment, and every precau tion adopted by the posting of sentries and patrols of police-constables to prevent any access being gained to the arsenal.

A troop of Indian jug glers and slack-rope performers—six females and 12 males—have arrived here from Bombay on their way to London, and leave for England via Mar seilles the day after to-morrow. They exhibited some of their wonderful feats on our stage on Saturday night, and are to perform again to-night and to-morrow night. Cholera is reported to have broken out at Reggio, and the pestilence is said to be carrying off victims at the rate of 100 a day. This disease is also said to be lingering in Sicily, and at Catania cases occur daily. The crew of the armour-plated ship Prince Con sort, 31, Capt. Edward A. Inglefield, were paid off in Keyham steamyard on Saturday, in the pre sence of Admiral Superintendent the Hon. James R. Drummond, C.B. The Prince Consort has not been dismantled, and it is expected that she will shortly be recommissioned. The iron troopship Himalaya, 2, Capt. S. B. Piers, which has just landed Royal Marines at Queenstown, returned on Saturday to Plymouth Sound, where she will shortly embark Royal Artil lery for Dublin. The screw steamsloop Columbine, 4, Commander James E. Erskine, from the Pacific, last from Queenstown, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. The paddlewheel steamer Salamander, 6, 818 tons, ,220-horse power, Commander G. S. Nares, having been dismantled on her return from lustralia, has been put out of commission and paid off into the third division of the steam reserve in the Medway, under the superintendence of the officials of the steam reserve and the dockyard. On the screw being paid off, a gratuity of £l5, together with a silver medal, was a war d e d by the Admiralty to Colour-Sergeant J o h n B ar tl e y, Royal Marines, for long service and good conduct. The Salamander has been in commission rather more than four years, during the whole of which period she has been at tached to the squadron on the Australian station. On being paid off the continuous service men among the crew were granted leave of absence for the usual period. The Salamander is one of the old class of paddlewheel sloops, several of which were built some years since, but most of which have now disappeared from the official list of the Royal N avy. Her Majesty's screw gunvessel Espoir, 5, 80- horse power, recently put out of commission after a term of service on the West Coast of Africa, and since attached to the third division of the steam re serve in the Medway, has undergone a complete re fit, by order of the Admiralty, for special service in the Thames. On Saturday the Espoir proceeded round to Purfleet, in charge of Lieut. Arthur L. Clarkson, of the Formidable, flagship of Vice-Ad miral Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.8., Comman der-in-Chief at the Nore, who has been appointed to the temporary command ; a party of 25 seamen, one caulker, two warrant-officers, and six non-com missioned officers and men of the Royal Marines being placed on board for duty. Orders were received on Saturday at Plymouth Citadel for the embarkation early this week of two batteries 7th brigade Royal Artillery ou board the troopship Himalaya for conveyance to Dublin. The batteries selected are said to be the 7th, under coin nvind of Captain Orr, and the Bth, Captain Taylor. On receipt of this order Colonel Pellet S. Green, who was absent on leave, was telegraphed to return immediately to the Citadel. A detachment of 20 artillerymen belonging to the 7th brigade are under orders to leave Plymouth to-day for duty at Pem broke. During the last few days a large number of re volvers have been issued from the armoury stores at the Ordnance establishment, Chatham, and yes terday the first, supply of them was distributed for use in Chatham dockyard, it being intended to arm the police constables on duty at the naval establish ments at the port with that weapon. Extra vigilance is observed by the police on duty in the river in preventing boats approaching the dockyard in which are persons not known to the officers, and after nightfall every boat passed in the harbour is chal lenged by the police• constables on duty. We have to announce the death of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Dickson, of Hardingham, Norfolk, yester day afternoon. The deceased was a midshipman on board; the Minden at Algiers, and was educated at the Royal Navy College. Ile was born in 1798. He is succeeded in the baronetcy by his brother, the river. Large supplies of rifles and other small arms con tinue to be received at the Ordnance establishment, Chatham, from the Tower, whilst the utmost ac tivity is observable in all the departments of the establishments in landing and storing the arms in the armoury, the workmen being employed long after the customary working hours of the day. Up to the present time the whole of the arms have been conveyed from the Tower to Chatham in the barges belonging to the War Department, some thousands of valuable arms being on each of these occasions confided to the care of the ordinary men belonging to the barges, the number of whom on board is only four. Within the last few days the attention of the authorities has been called to the highly incautious manner in which these cargoes of rifles are for. warded down the Thames and Medway to Chatham, and the facilities which are afforded for attacks on the vessels conveying them, the effect of which, there is little doubt, will be that each of the War Depart ment transports, while engaged in removing arms, will in future be securely conveyed from the Tower to Chatham. The detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry on special night duty in Woolwich Arserfal were last night relieved by a detachment of the Royal Artillery, who took up their duties at six p.m., to continue during the night. All leave and furloughs are stopped, and no passes are granted after eleven o'clock: The same restrictions are kept on the river as ordered during the past 10 days. All ships passing up the river after nightfall are carefully questioned and overhauled if exciting the smallest suspicion. At 4 45 p.m. on Sunday the steam tender Bustler, Master Commander Draper, while lying at her post at the Red Powder Buoy, off the Royal Arsenal, was run into, during the prevalence of a thick snow drift, by a collier brig. The Bustler was struck in her starboard bows, damaging her berthing, &c., and the brig sustained some con siderable injury, but was able to proceed on her way. The commander and crew, who are all armed with six barrel revolvers and loaded rifles, instantly manned the deck, and were ready with their night signals in anticipation of an attack. The armour-plated screw corvette Pallas, Capt. Lambert, steamed into Portsmouth Harbour on Saturday to make good her defects. The newly launched screw gun-vessel Pandora steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday for a preliminary trial of her machinery before she makes her official trial of speed at the measured mile. Orders have been received at Portsmouth for the screw storeship Supply, Staff-Commander Bawden, recently returned from. the Mediterranean, to be taken into dock to receive a new shaft. A general list of defects has been sent in, and it is probable these will be made good before she leaves again for Woolwich, and will occupy some time. A court-martial, under the presidency of Capt. F. B. Seymour, A.D.C., was held at Portsmouth yesterday, on board the Victory, flagship of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley, for the trial of William Read, ordinary seaman, serving on board her Majesty's ship Irresistible, stationed in Cowes Roads. The prisoner was one of the crew of the captain's galley, and on being ordered to join the boat and arm himself with one of the revolvers which had previously been loaded and issued for the use of the crew, and proceed in the boat to row along the shore off Osborne at ten o'clock at night, he refused to obey the order, de clining to give a reason ; but on the following day, on the quarter deck, he stated that " he would not take up arms against the Fenians." The charge was fully proved, and the prisoner was sentenced to five years' penal servitude, which also involves that at the expiration of that period he will be dis missed her Majesty's service with disgrace.

She will then proceed to Cork and to Pembroke, where she will deliver No. 31 steam launch for the use of that yard. Forty additional shipwrights were yesterday taken on in Woolwich Dockyard at the cost of the War Department, in order to complete the man-of-war ship Meanee, now fitting as an hospital ship for Hong Kong, and to prepare her ports, &c., in readi ness for departure. Her Majesty's 11-gun screw steam sloop Royalist was yesterday docked at Woolwich to undergo a final examiva'ion preparatory to being commis sioned for sea.

The Cambridge Independent says :—" There seems A be but one opinion in the university as to the probable senior wrangler ; his name is on every one's lips ; and we do not think we shall damp the ardour, or in the least way hurt the feelings of the fortunate second wrangler by repeating it. Mr. Moulton, of St. John's, is the gentleman we allude to, and according to all accounts he is rather above the average of his year ; we fear, however, that the test of being a member of the Church of England will interfere with his chance of a fellowship, and his name, with many others, will stand recorded in university annals undistinguished by the familiar asterisk denoting fellow ship. This ought not to be ; and all liberal-minded persons must regret that it is so ; but we trust the year is not far distant when this narrow-minded restriction will be numbered among the things of the past." CURIOUS IMPERSONATION. —The following curious incident occurred in the Lower Castle Yard, Dublin. A woman applied to the police at the lower end of the yard for admittance at a late hour, and was refused. She then made her way round to the upper gate at Ship-street, and succeeded in borrowing a portion of the corporal's uniform, including great coat, shako, and belt, containing sixty rounds of ball cartridge, and made her way back to where she had been previously refused admission. She was allowed to pass, but the policeman on duty, suspecting all was not right, followed her up to the guardroom at Ship street, when he arrested and brought her to the station house. On Saturday she was brought before the police magistrate and sentenced to a month's imprisonment. The corporal, who belongs to the 74th Foot, is under arrest, and will be brought before a court-martial. DEATH OF PREBENDARY BLAND.—The death is announced of the Rev. Miles Bland, a name which for a long succession of years past has been a household word at Cambridge. He was educated with Adam Sedgwick, the Professor of Geology, at Sedbergb School, and the two pro ceeded together to St. John's College, Cambridge, where they commenced residence in 1804. Mr. Bland took hi s B.A. degree in 1808, when he was second wrangler, Mr- Bickersteth, afterwards Lord Langdale, being the senior wrangler of the year, Mr. Blomfield, afterwards Bishop of London, the third, Mr. Sedgwick the fifth. In the same year he was elected a Fellow of St. John's, and in 1809 was appointed assistant tutor. In 1823 he accepted the college living of Lilley, near Luton, which he held up to the time of his death. In 1826 he was presented by Bishop Law to a prebendal stall in Wells Cathedral. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Society of Antiquariesf and the Royal Astronomical Society, and the aathor o, several mathematical arid philosophical works. His best known work is " Bland's Equations." EXTENSION OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN IRELAND. —Dr. Carroll, being the first Roman Catholic Lord Mayor of Dublin elected since the repeal of the statute forbid ding the display of the insignia of civic state in a Roman Catholic place of worship, determined to avail himself of the liberty accorded by th 4 recent Act, and accordingly proceeded in state on Sunday to Marlborough_ street Cathedral. A procession was formed, all the civic officers were present, and a number of the Roman Catholic members of the corporation attended in their robes of office. There was a great crowd assembled at the cathe dral, and the Lord Mayor, on descending- from his car riage, was loudly cheered. Cardinal Cullen, who arrived shortly afterwards, was greeted with equal warmth. A pew richly ornamented, and bearing the name and arms of Dr. Carroll, was placed near ti altar. High mass was celebrated, after which Cardinal Cullen preached. In his sermon he made " That a passing allusion to the presence of t he Lord Mayor. day," he said, " they saw, for the first time for a number of years, th e Lord Mayor of that great city and his colleagues coming to that church in their insignia of office to offer up their prayers at the altar of the living God. Hitherto that was not allowed to be done. But a few years ago this country was oppressed by penal laws, and their forefathers had been prosecuted for their adherence to the Catholic faith. The law which prevented a Catholic Lord Mayor from at tending divine service in his robes of office was a remnant —a vile remnant—of those penal laws. But it had been removed ; and how? Was it by secret societies, or assas sination, or the blowing down of houses ? Was it by violence and rebellion that these rights were obtained ? No; it washy rfte , 2ful and constitutional conduct." After a brief allusion to the " Pagan systein of education " now established in Ireland, Cardinal Cullen concluded his ser mon by exhorting his hearers to obedience to the dictates of the Catholic Church. The religious services having concluded, the Lord Mayor again enteredhis carriage, and proceeded to the Mansion House, amid the cheers of the large crowds that lined all the .streets through which the procession passecl, The Herald remarks that, taking things at their worst, it appears that the ordinary stock will still pay a divi dend, certainly not so great as th - at of two years ago, but 'me that will make the Caledonian compare favourably with almost every other inculpated railway. On the whole the report, if not exactly all that could have been dc. - :,ired, is very much better than most people had expected. It furnishes a new proof that railway companies, like other joint-stock undertakings, have been going a great deal too fast of late years, but it proves also that, aft :r all the errors of the past, there remains some solidity in this kind of property which may tend to reassure those who a little while ago were ready to part with it at panic price. With careful management and honest accounts there is no reason why the Caledonian should not again become a favourite investment, though it will, of ccurse, be some time before it regains the position which it held before recent damaging disclosures and disquieting rumours. The Times has opened its columns to a " Briton" who preaches a Jamaica cure for the disaffection of Ireland and of the Irish in England—martial law, and Governor Eyre to administer it. The folly of these things may make their wickedness innocuous. But, as the Daily News observes, when such extension as this is given to the terms Fenian, rebel, and traitor, and such a remedy is prescribed ; when a war of authority against opinions and against the constitutional advocacy of a purely legal change is preached up, we cannot wonder that some men should shrink from becoming just now the servants of Government. Sober and responsible statesmen, however, are not to be judged by the language of excited and irre sponsible talkers. It is important that the task of pro tecting society at a time of outrage and panic should be discharged by men who are responsible to the Government, whose duties Arc prescribed by law, and who are bound to obedience. A body of self-appointed and self-governed watchmen, holding no official rank, might degenerate into a committee of vigilance ; and in moments of excitement would be far more likely than an organised police force to be hurried into arbitrary and lawless acts. The motives which have led many persons to withhold their services as special constables from the Government, though not unintelligible or frivolous, appear to us mistaken or insuf ficient. According to the Standard, it is by no means certain that we shall not have to adopt martial law in Ireland. We have in that country a population who dislike us and distrust us, and are fast beginning to look upon the Fenian as heaven-sent deliverers. These are people among whom the contagion of sympathy may any day produce some act of madness which will cost innumerable lives. To meet this we must shew unwavering unanimity in our resolution to hold Ireland and put down treason. What may come afterwards may be another question. But it will become the character of the .7. ouse of Commons, of the press, of the British people, to make it felt at once that Fcnianism must be stamped out at any cost. Any attempt to turn the existence of that conspiracy to account, with a view o. forcing the country into ill-considered measures for the amelioration of Ireland, must be discountenanced. Ii this tone is adopted—if it is honestly maintained by all parties at this formidable crisis—we shall probably have no need for martial law in Ireland. If any other policy is adopted, martial law will be but a small portion of the trouble in store for us. We shall have a whole nation madly rushing on destruction in the wild idea that they are backed by the American people, and enjoy the sympathy of the British people. This policy need not interfere with the progress of Irish legislation. Of that we hope to have much. But it must not be allowed to be supposed that Parliament or the country will for an instant recognise the right of these conspirators to stand between them and the Irish people. Anxiety for Ireland's welfare, compassion for Ireland's sufferings, we may still feel, but what we must show above all things at this crisis is a determination to maintain. British rule in Ireland at any cost. EMPLOYMENT IN BETHNAL-GREEN.—The First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, &c., has decided on increasing the bathing lake in Victoria Park to nearly double its present size. The works will be commenced immediately, and, f,Alowing the best precedents of the public works carried on in Lancashire during the cotton le distress, will be clone by task work. In this way, wh employment will be given to many in the East of London willing, but at this time unable, to find work, a permanent public improvement will be effected with economy and despatch. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE. —A young gentleman, named William Chaine, has committed suicide in Dublin by swallowing a large dose of prussic acid. He committed the act in the parlo ur of Dr. Lyons, in the presence of several female relatives, to one of whom, it is stated, he had been paying his addresses, the rejection of which had determined him to put an end to his existence. In his pocket was found a letter addressed to his mother, in which he stated what he was about to do, and requested her not to think he was mad, but that he was broken , hearted. NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE.
