I met a man, a venerable man, " Whose days had dwindled to the shortest span," Near Aligate Church the aged stranger stood, And leaned upon a staff of knotted wood ; While ever and anon he raised his eyes With looks of miegled pleasure and surprise. Seeing Min there, I stayed my onward walk, In hopes, at length, of getting him to talk ; Then stepping up, " Good morning, sir," said I; " Good morning," was the grey-haired man's reply. " I can't help looking (said the man of yore) At that great house which now we stand before : 'Tis twenty years ago since I was here, And what a mighty change—oh, dear ! oh, dear ! There's an extensive warehouse—there's a show— Who would have thought it twenty years ago ! But will you (asked the venerable man) Explain the houses on so great a plan ?" " With all my heart (said I) ; I'm always glad To give instructions where it will be had. This is the Mart of MOSES, so renowned In all the land and all the world around. Part of the warehouse, venerable sire, Is set apart for GENTLEMEN'S ATTIRE ; Attire which xo one had the luck to know Ere MOSES opened—twenty years ago. The splendid house which yonder you behold Is but a sample of the garments sold, And understand (said I) that cheapness there An equal prominence is found to bear. MOSES and SON were first in all the trade, By whom reductions in the price were matte. A HAT MART (I continued) you will see On turning round your eyes to eighty-three— Such hats and caps are purchased there (said I) As you have never witnessed years gone by. - A BOOT MART • Also helps to swell the pile Put on your glasses, Sir, 'tis worth your while , MOSES and SON in Boots and Shoes have shown That none can match the value of their own. FURS, SHAWLS, AND HOSIERY Likewise form a part, And help to magnify that giant Mart. MOSES arid SON in goods like these as well Successfully endeavour to excel. THEIR MART FOR OUTFITS Clearly shows alike What advantageous bargains we may strike ; And thus have I endeavoured to convey, A faint idea of that superb display." With this I cut the friendly chat asunder, And left the "Auld Man" gazing still in wonder. A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application. Notice.—The Fur and Shawl Departments are now replete with every novelty of the season. Observe.—Any article purchased, either ready-made or made to measure, if not approved of, will be exchanged or the money re turned. Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public against imposition, but having heard that the untradesmanlike false hood of being connected with them, or it is the same concern, has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state they have no connexion with any other house in or out of London, except their own Establishments, as iollows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 155, and 157, Vlinories, 83, i,4, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey—Frimley, Bag shot, December 31,1850.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, who for a periA of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provision for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a faintly so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. 'ferries, Farq7inar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—An important meeting was held here last !light, at the Albion Hotel, called toge ther under the designation of a " social soirée," at which was put forth by the Hon. Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire a sort of manifesto indicating the policy he and his friends aro disposed to take on the leading ques tions which are likely to come before Partiamont during the approaching session. The parties invited to the soiree were the leading members of the committees in South Lancashire and Manchester, having charge of Ile registers of voters, at whose suggestion the meeting is said to have taken plaer , . Mr. Alexander Henry, M.P., and Mr. Brotherton, M.P., wore present, and took pi rt in the proceedings. Mr. George Wilson took the chsir. The Right Hon. T. M. GinsoN then rose, and was . _ received with loud and universal cheers. He said—Mr, Chairman and gentlemen, I can of course hardly be ex pected to occupy your time with a lengthened disquisi tion upon many of our public affsirs; I must simply re mark upon such points as strike my mind as being the most worthy of our discuesiou at thin moment, and which have occupied the greater part of my own atten tion.—(llesr, hear.) Our worthy chairman spoke in very high terms,—but they were terms of truthfulness, —of the success of the commercial policy which was ad vocated and carried by the leading rainds in the northern parts of England. I think he expresqed, in the remarks he made, not .a bit more than the plain and naked truth. But since those questions have been settled,—no, not settled, because in the matter of free tradee'ett the sim plifying of our tariffs, and in carrying out those princi plea upon which the repeal of the corn-law was based, there still remains much to be done—(Bear, hear) — still, since the great keystone of monopoly was removed, since the repeal of the corn-laws was carried, my Hon. Friend Mr. Cobden and the gentlemen who have acted with him in the House of Commons have no reason, I think, to be at all ashamed of the sauces that has at tended the policy which they have supported in reference to our finarces.—(Heer, I;eer.) Fur let us look back. What was the state of affairs in the year 1848? We found the Ministry assuring Parliament that the country was in a state of panic at an impending French invasion —(Hear)—that it was necessary to increase our arms meats—that not a man could be spared. But I think I say truly that this part of England, especially Macches ter and the neighbouring district, and the gentlemen who are not politically connected with that district, were not overwhelmed with these imaginary dangers, but that they stepped in and tendered what I believe was prudent advice to the Government, and checked them in a career which, it is my belief, had they carried it out, would have led the country into great difficulties, and would have been the ruin of that Government itself. Now, Sir, I think we may take credit to ourselves, and not only to ourselves, but to the party—and those gentlemen who have taken an economical view of these matters, and a prudent and a temperate view of these things, they , may take credit to themsel ves , f or h av i ng rescued Go vernment from the pressure that was brought to bear upon them, and for having enabled them to resist being carried into this unhecessrry extreme of expenditure.— (Cheers.) There was a five per cent. income-tax pro posed; two per cent. in addition to the income-tax; an increase of all your estimates, Well, when the matter' had been well discuessed, a complete change of policy took place. Instead of Government coming forward and saying, " Wo can't spare a roan; we are threatened with a French invasion," and all the rest of it, why we find that they can spare a great many men, that they have reduced very considerably the expenditure; and here we all are, sleeping as comfortably at nights, and as little alarmed at these impending dangers, as men could possibly be, with a considerable—l don't say very consi derable, diminution in the public expenditure.—(Cheers.) And now I trust we are going to reap the fruits of that reduction of the expenditure, and increase the income arising from a more sound commercial and financial po licy, in the removal of some of those taxes which op press the industry and prevent the employment of the capital of the country.—(Hear.) I will say this, that I do not advocate the dealing with taxation entirely upon what I may be permitted to call the narrow grounds of whether there is a surplus or a deficiency.—(Cheers.) It may be said that it is more easy to make an experi ment in our finances when we have a surplus than at a time when the immure augments the expenditure. But the late Sir R. Peel set an example, which I think the present Government would do well to follow, of' not basing our financial changes upon the mere fact of whe ther there is a surplus of money in the Exchequer, but upon a well-considered scheme of financial policy, to re peal those taxes that are the most oppressive to the in dustry of the country, and which in the greatest degree contract the enjoyments of the people.—(llear, hear.) I want to see our taxation based upon something like well considered principles, and, even if there should be a de ficit at any particular time, I see no reason why a Mi nistry should not persevere in endavouring to carry out those financial arrangements which would enable them to remove oppressive taxes without injury to the revenue, and with great benefit to the people.--(Cheers.) The experiments which Sir R. Peel made upon taxation are pregnant with valuable lessons to statesmen. I wish them to profit by those lessons, to see that you may re duce a tax without losing revenue. —(Hear, hear.) I would mention, for example, the tea duty. I believe if' that were dealt with in a dexterous and sagacious man ner, the revenue which might for a moment appear to be lost would be replaced.—(Hear, hear.) I was told by a gentleman, who is perh a p s as competent as any man i n England to judge o f thi s quest i on, that if a person h a d to farm" this revenue, in order to make it as large as t h h e n couid be w duty on mn o u tild reduce ffneshnul te d h b el e uty re .— du ( n A nd ppla ( u i s i c e e n ) r, A h g en ain ro . The duty on foreign and colonial coffee should be equalized; and this might be done at the present time without the slightest d erangement to any interest what ever; because we ar e export i ng, as I believe, our own colonial growth, and th ere f ore you might, without com plaint, get rid of an obj ect i ona b le differential duty, an d place the coffee duti es on a proper footing.—(Cheers. ) There are many other taxes which are also open to great objection. I hoar that the window-tax is doomed. —(Cheers.) It was very nearly c ar ried during the last session of Parliament.—(Laughter, and applause,) But I have a notion, from w h at I read in the papers that have the credit at least o f g i v i ng something like a fore shadowing of what th e v i ews of the Government may be, that there is to be a mo di fied house-tax to ta k e the place of the window -tax. I can pronounce no opinion upon the policy of that change until I see the measure; but I would miler see the thing done clean, and the tax entirely removed at once, without substitute. — (Loud applause.) There is one description of taxa tion to which I have turned a little attention, and which some may consider to have obtained some thing like a claptrap title, though I don't think so—l allude to the taxes on knowledge.—(Applause.) I hold that every country that professes to desire the diffusion of knowledge among the great mass of the com munity, who profess to b e anx i ous to make efforts for the education of the Peopl e, i s not acting consistently with itself if, at the same ti me, it maintains fiscal impe dimants to the diffusion of knowledge.—(Applause?.) I do not ask simply for the the paper duty to be repealed, but also the newspaper stem —(Cheers)—and the ad vertisement duty.—(Renewed applause.) I b el i eve, w i t h respect to the paper duty, th at i t i s a quest i on b ear i ng P intimately upon the interests of the labouring classes, and especially in these districts. I know that it is thought that the amount of paper duty on a book is really so tri fling, that it would not make ab ove a fract i on of a penny of difference in price, and that it is not of the slightest consequence to the consumer. But that is not the point of view in which I regard this tax.—(Elear.) Paper consists almost entirely of wages and duty; it is the con version of a comparatively worthless material into a va luable article by the more application of labour.—(Hear.) it misosttheinodnislypudteasbelyripdtoieosnof And, therefore, as regards the w or ki ng population it appears to me to be a duty that w e oug h t to get rid ' of ltayaicxnh roftiahrlests: much a p oun d upon a ll if we can. With respect or t ,c o u t l h at e io d n iff an u d sion a s o m f a lt u n p o r w ic l e ed f g o e r ms speculations 0 1 a f t itohnes community.— when mm u y n o i u t y a .— r e the cha nce of success t among odepe n t h d e u w p o o r n k s i n largo r c g l a e s s c e i in crease the risk of all literary t fli h ut y e eero p aau r rt . o uh) fi rae t v ; let that that nt d pacata t yu h n r a aar t el , i the paper that is used in the speculation, and that it is not to be returned if the publication does not sell. Therefore it does act as a very material ch ec k upon the spread of cheap and good literature amo ng t h e mass of the community.—(Hear, hear.) It seems strange now that the proprietor of a little work lik e t h e Family Herald should have to pay 3,0001. a yea r to Government in duty on the paper he uses in his little penny publica tion, distributed among the working classes.—(Hear, hoar.) Does not this lessen the chances of success of such an undertaking, and make all the difference of the capitalist being able to carry it on or not? — (Applause.) Therefore, it is in vain to reply that the duty on a large book or expensive publication is so mi nute that it is not worth consideration. I regard it as a tax which prevents, in the first place, the employment of , and, thus b o th in labour in the conversion of a worthless materi a l i n t o a useful article; and as a tax that prevents the diffusion of referent© knowledge to tthe among physicaltbe wor a k nd ing m c lasses condition of the masses, I think it would bo wise to deal with the paper duty. —(Cheers.) Now, I :know that there is about the stamp duty a prejudice iu many minds. 11 1, for one, hold that if you want progress in a country, you must have a free press.—(Hear, hear.) You must have competition in your press.—(Hear, hems) You must have an un shackled press, and you must have a cheap press.—(Ap plause.) You cannot diffuse facts amongst the great body of the people, and facts are the foundation of all right knowledge—(Hear)--without ycu can publish newspapers at such a price as that the poorer classes can buy them .--(Hear.) I therefore advocate the re moval of the stamp duty on newspapers. I know there is a feeling (not common with the whole of the press— God forbid! but amongst a portion of the press) that the established newspapers are in favour of being taxed, be cause it keeps other people out of the trede—it creates a congestion of capital in that particular article.—(Hear, hear.) I don't believe that opinion to bo shared by the great majority of the Liberal established press of this country. Why, for people to desire their own taxation for their own benefit seems, on the face of it, a mon- iGibson, G. J.

The advertise ment duty is another branch of this lot of taxes.—(Hear, near)—and the repeal of which I know would be eery beneficial to the trade of this country, and to the established press Tho advertisements are the source from which flows a great portion' of the profit of the newspaper—perhaps the greatest—and to fine people Is. 6d. for every time they advertise in a newspaper is e sure way to drive them to find out come other mode of making known their wants—the sure way of crippling the newspaper press, and of destroying its independence, and of preventing it from having all those means of sup port to which it is legitimately entitled.—(Hear.) If a man puts a bill on a wall, or in his window (though I am not sure whether it ought not to be stamped), you doe,t fine him is. 6d., but you say to him, "If you put it into a nowspaner I will fine you ls. 6d. for making known your wants there." Why is that attack upon the press? Why, if it is right to have a duty upon advertisements, don't you put it wherever you find the advertis rnent? As a very able writer once proposed, you should have an exciseman to follow the town crier 'hrough the streets of the village, and every time he is going to announce that a sele is to take place the excise men should step up and say. " Don't speak till you pay me my 18d."—(Cheers.) That is the principle of the tax. I say, if the penny postage was an advantage to the nation—if the greater facility of communication in various ways which has arisen in this country be appre ciated by the country, and be beneficial to the trade and industry of the country—l say that the facilities of making known your wants through that legitimate me dium, the newspaper, must be a great boon to the trade and industry of the empire.—(Cheers.) And what is the amount of this tax? A paltry 158,0001. a year! Why, the advertisements in the United titat6aritpers are legion as compared with ours; and I maintain that, in the com petition between countries, a check to communications of this kind must have a very prejudicial effect. I hope we may sea that, with a little pressure, these duties may he removed.—(Cheers.) Government are in a little trouble just now with respect to this newspaper stamp. The thing has slumbered fur many years ; and it seems they ire now beginning to look round amongst the small publications that are in circulation amongst the humbler classes of society and endeavour to exercise a species of censorship—that is, not the Government, but the Stamp-office, which acts according, I suppose, to its own discretion. I don't know who .advise them. They are the Executive in fact.—(Hear, hear.) They are now singling out some small publications, leaving: licat others ions,and h " that are p d r o e w ci; n d b y y th st e same thing them, thing untouched. Within a short time three or four publications, published monthly at a penny, most respectable publication, giving a very useful record of the facts of the month, have been inter- fered with by the Stamp-office. There was a little paper called the Norwich Reformer, published monthly, and a letter came to the publisher from London, telling him that he was publishing a column of news, and wanting to know what he had to say why he should not be pro secuted. Well, as an hon. friend of mine said to me, " he'died of fright."—(Laughter.) But that is not so. Lin did not die spark out; but, after some controversy with the Stamp-office, he brought his little publication out without the most interesting part of it, namely, the column of news.—(Hear, hear.) Then there was an other, the Stroud Observer, which was a most respect able paper, in the hands of most respectable people, doing a vast amount of good, as I am informed, having attained a circulation of 17,000, only published once a month, and not coming into competition with any daily or weekly newspaper, and circulated mainly amongst the working-clas,es. Down came a letter from the Stamp-office to ask why this gentleman should not he prosecuted for issuing unstamped news?--(Hear.) He wrote a letter, expressing no wish to break the law, and promised that he would not persist in publishing the paper if the Stamp-office would forego the prosecution, and that bargain was agreed to. But I say, if the prin ciple is right, they are bound to carry the thing on.— (Applause.) They must say, " We, mean to stamp all the monthly publications that contain any news. Stamp all or none; let us have no favour, no privilege; and, above all, let us have no censorship of the press at So merset-horse in the Strand."—(Applause.) A prosecu tion, as we were publicly informed by one•of the Minis ters (the Under-S'cretary of State,. I think) last session, is about to take place against Mr., Charles Dickens.— (li[ear, hear.) And for what? For publishing a work 'called The Narrative of Current Events—a most excel lent periodical, containing a compendium of the news of the month. This prosecution is about to go on; and if they succeed in carrying a verdict against Mr. C. Dickens, all the other monthlies must look about, fur the Stamp office cannot then stop and allow the law to be broken by so many with impunity as it now is. On these very grounds, because it is administered with such in equality and irregularity, I think the stamps on,, newspapers ought to be abolished.—(Hear, hoar.) I have thrown out these few observations as concerning matters that I should be glad to advocate in our finan cial system. But I think that our electoral system can't stand where it does.—(Cheers.) We advocate a large extension of the franchise, a better distribution of the lectoral power, an abolitiOn of that system which enables 1 0 0 -5 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 -1 1 0 2 00 - 1 00 - 1 0 0 - 5 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 10 0 o 10 of - 1 0 0 - - 1 0 0 - - 1 0 0 - 1 00 - 5 0 0 - 2 00 - 3 00 A.

The name of the young woman was Sophia Julia Olney, about 20 years of age, and, it was said, had been very respectably brought up, but had recently been out at service. About four months ago her master and mistress left town, and she had their authority to draw upon one of the clerks for her wages and any expenses which she might be at for the household. She overdrew to the amount of a few shillings, and this led to extraordinary excitement, and ultimately to her death. She went to her brother-in-law's, who is a tutor, and declared she would not go back to her mistress, but declined to state the reason • she was, however, p reva iled on to return ; but again left, and was found living in Red Lion-square. Her brother-in-law took her to his home. She had written to him to say she had done wrong, and was determined to destroy herself. On Monday week she went out in great excitement, her brother calling on her to come back, but she would not, and the same night her bonnet was found on Waterloo-bridge, and her body near it in the river on Friday last. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased destroyed herself while in a state of temporary insanity." [ADVERTISEMENT.] llolloWay'S Ointment and Pills have cured a Bad Leg after every other Remedy had failed.—John Eastman, Esq., of Buenos Ayres, states to Pro fessor Holloway, in a letter dated 11th September, 1850, that a native gentleman of that place hurt his instep some time ago in consequence of which a wound soon formed, and gradually increased, until it spread from the foot to the knee. He was under the medical attendance of a native doctor for several months, but his remedies had no good effeet whatever; he therefore deemed it advisable to have recourse to Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which have effected a perfect cure of his leg, and be now enjoys the best of health..--Sold by all Drug gists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. little corrupt boroughs to have as much power in the Legislature as boroughs like Manchester and Liverpool and Leeds.—(Hear.) I suppose that at the present time it is considered that every man who presumes to have an opinion on public affairs should be able to say ex actly what should be done with the Roman Catholic hierarchy.—(Laughter and applause.) I am not so far advanced on this important branch of political knowledge as perhaps many others, although I have read a fair supply of arguments, of logic, and of declamation upon the eubject in the papers,—nearly the whole press has been teeming with " No Popery." Occasionally I fancied I was reading the Morning Herald, from the tone of the leading article, and,-making a minute exa mination satisfied me that the paper I had hold of was the Times.—(Laughter.) In fact, the whole of the London morning press, with some orae exception, seem to me to hare taken views which—no doubt quite sincerely and with great talent—the Morning Herald has been taking on this subject for some time past.— (Hear, hear.) Now, what is to be done, people say, with the Roman hierarchy?—(A Voice—" Let them alone.") A gentleman came to me in London and asked me to sign a memorial which was going about against the Roman Catholic bishops. I said, " It is an impor tant matter, especially for an M.P., to commit himself to a public document of this kind; pray what is your ground for asking me to sign it?" " Oh," he said, " you must really join; every man who is loyal, or who is not indifferent upon religious matters, must join. The time is come; we can stand it no longer; we must join in checking the progress of the Catholic power in this country," which ha considered would be materially beneqted by the episcopal organization.—(Laughter and ulcers.) My reply was this—" I am a staunch Protes rant; but tell me in what way these Roman Catholic bishops will interfere with my civil liberty—(Hear) — with my religious opinions —(Hear, hear) —or with my Purse.—(Loud cheering.) Don't you think it might be wise for people to mind their own affairs, and look after their own bishops?"—(Cheers.) The fact is, gen tlemen, I really am quite at a loss to know what to do with what is called the Roman Catholic hierarchy except to let it alone.—(Cheers.) There may be some pet scheme hidden in the recesses of Downing-street, but, as far as I am capable of judging, I am quite at a less to know upon what ground a country which professes to have adopted the principle of religious liberty, to be pro gressing towards the abolition of the word "ascen dancy," and the repudiation of the word " toleration"— (Cheers)—a country which professes to ask for religious equality—upon what rule can such a country make the Roman Catholics an exception to the rule?—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) If the Roman Catholics were to cpme to Parliament and say, "The head of our Church, the Pope, has given us bishops, and we ask you to give these bishops legal recognition—powers by law to en force their jurisdiction," then I should say that such a demand must be visited with the most strenuous oppo sition.—(Cheers.) But if amongst themselves they sup port those dignitaries by their own voluntary contribu tions, having no jurisdiction except such as the free will of the English Catholics choose to accord them, then I say that it is extremely difficult, without violat ing those principles of religious equality on which I am prepared to take my stand—(Cheera)---to bring forward any legislative enactment bearing upon it the stamp of disability upon religious grounds. The American papers seem to wonder what is the matter with us.— At Wootton there is a greyhound weathercock. Two lads passing by, one said—" I should think yon grey hound, though good at a turn, and well winded, tries in vain to catch his prey." "And if so," replied the other, "he does not need to be unhappy, for he has plenty of fresh air every morning for breakfast, is an excellent pointer, and the moat exalted dog in the neighbourhood." (Laughter.) A correspondent of one of them wants to know whether the nature of the demand of the Roman Catholic bishops was that they should share in the temporalities of the Church—(Laughter)—for he though t there must be more, in order to create such a burst of what is called indignation, than the mere attempt to carry out amongst themselves their own ecclesiastical discipline.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) I am afraid that the Church party, who feel that their time is coming—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—think it good policy to get us into a quarrel with the Pope, in order that they may be safe.—(Hear, hear.) I contend that it is in the direction of our own Church, in the direction of that " ascendancy" principle, that we have to turn our atten tion.—(Cheers.) If we allow ourselves to be carried away by these bewilderments, and be contented with hunting a red herring instead of a real fox—(Laughter) —then we are not using those political advantages of which we are possessed to the best account.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) But this question involves many mat ters important to this country. If you make a retrogade step with regard to religious equality, it is not clear that you may not do so in civil and commercial freedom. —(licar, hear.) The same principle of injustice is at the bottom of political economy, commercial monopolY. and religious monopoly.—(Lear, hear, and cheers.) Favouritism to class against class is at the bottom of all these monopolies; and we should combat the ascendancy principle, whether wo find it in religion, in politics, or in "Damcrec•—(Cheers.) It was the desire to favour a few which lay at the root of the support of the corn law; it is the desire to maintain favour and privilege in a class that creates such opposition to the extension of the franchise; and it is the desire of maintaining prin ciples of ascendency in the Church that roused this animosity against the Roma n Catholics.—(Hear, hear. ) I hope, therefore, whatever course I may feel it my duty to take in Parliament upon this question, that you will believe I am actuated by a sincere desire to carry into practical legislation those principliiii of religious equality which I believe to be bv3t calwl4tod to promote • A A 014 • • . , .• 4i't , Opp, , , - • C LIr r• k c .‘ - 77 '2 • I N ., t .. xt A A ' I if,IS ;A I' . .1/*/ -4; - Ay , • , • , ',• L§ -7 -r • „„.. -4. .z• 54 -5 „ 1. 4441 ‘./H :,•,1 "1" 111; N —' //. 01 T • [PRICE SD. ,-6 7/' - , 4vr . tireient pregtetes•t- the education &40 . mkt; ' 0 - n'ez t thee; is gradually assuming an impor ettf; ' .hitinste e e. • 7: - - - -'1,,„ pabfic mind.—(Applause.)
