FOX moved the second reading of the Education Bill. Mr. A. STAFFORD rose, pursuant to notice, to move that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. He believed that there was no person in that House, and few in the country, who did not acknowledge the importance cf the subject involved in, the B:11 of the Honourable Member for Oldham. All would admit the ability with which the Bill was intro duced, but it must he recollected that the House, in alowing the first reading, had not recognised the prin ciple upon which it was founded, but simply pledged itself to consider the merit of it. On the second reading of the Bill, the House was called upon to adopt the principle and to sanction it, and he therefore felt bound to come forward and record his ob jection to the measure. In the parishes in his immedi ate neighbourhood the children were educated•generally at the expense of the landowners, but in the re— turns to the House with respect to educe tion in the. country, no mention was made either of the number of scholars, or of the parties who had the expense of their education. He mentioned that not to controvert the proposition of, the Hon. Member for Oldham, that the state of education in England, was lamentably deficient, but to show that the House was not in possession of full information on the subject. In considering the question of educa tion the House would have to be cautious not to Violate the religious opinions of the public, and in the second place not to found a system of centralize• Lion in educating the - people. The measure now before the House proposed to disregard the religious opinions of a large section of the community, and in the next place to form a system of centralization of the most ob jeceionable character. There was a strong feeling in the country against merely secular education. to the exclusion of religious teaching combined with secular education, and he believed that milieu. Member in that House would stand up and contradict that assertion. Not only was the National Society for Education against the Bill, but the correspondence which had taken place upon the sub ject by the members of the British and Foreign School Society tended to show that that society was opposed to the Bill of the Honourable Gentleqaan. He looked upon the Bill as an invasion of the right of civil and religious liberty, because it proposed to abandon the principle that prevailed in the country, that religion should form part of every system of edu cation, and thereby set at naught the religious feelingi of a large -majority of the people of this country. The Hon. Gentleman, after making a most searching ana lysis of the provisions of the Bill, for the purpose of showing that it was founded upon a fallacious principle, and upon incorrect details, concluded by moving that it be read a second time this day eix months.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY seconded the amendment amid loud cheering. He believed that E o ' man but an infidel would maintain that that education was the best for man that was irrespective of religion.—( Hear, hear.) He was a member of a church that had always maintained that education should be accompanied and upheld by the ministers of religion.—(Hear, hear.) All experience told them that secular education could not lead to religion. He might be told that in England religion was too firmly based to be in any way endangered by secular education, but he believed that the introduction of a system of secular education alone would go far to endanger the moral and religious feelings of the country.—(Hear.) In conclusion the Noble Lord called upon the Go vernment and the House of Commons to reject a mea sure - that substituted secular for religious education, which could alone improve the morals and save the souls of all. The two contending armies were drawing near to each other, and the House had to decide which: they would choose—heaven or hell. Mr. ROEBUCK considered that secular education was a species of fashioning the human mind for the per formance of duties in this world, and fitting man for that which was to come, and whatever tended to so desirable a result was entitled to the approbation of all well-think ing men; and as ,the measure now under the considera tion a the House tended to that desirable end, he would give it his support. The education of the people came clearly within the duty and prerogative of Government, and even putting it on the lowest foundation, that of a mater of police, it was the duty of the Government to give encouragement to all that would improve the mind of the young, that they might be better qualified to dis charge the duty of citizens when they were advanced in years. In his opinion it was a mockery to talk of sal vation of souls when they allowed the mind to remain in ignorance and darkness. He denied that the measure was an attack upon tender consciences or s upon religious toleration or liberty. The language of religious liberty and tender conscience was .misplaced in the mouth of the lion. Gentleman who moved the amendment, when he refused to free the Dissenters from church-rates for the support of a religious establishment which they did not approve of. He did not expect that this Bill would be allowed to pass, but they might depend upon it that the strong and growing feeling out of doors upon this subject would very shot tly manifest itself in such a shape as to compel the House ere long t pass a measure for the general and unrestricted education of the people of this country. — (Cries of " Hear, hear.") The time of exclusive ministries and schools was fast passing away, and that period was rapidly advancing when the peaple at large must he benefited by e ducation, and its services not be limited to a sect or a party.—(llear, hear.) Lord ASHLEY opposed the second reading of the Bill, and stated it to be his solemn conviction that upon the decision of the House on this measure would depend the future history of the British empire. He believed that secular education would be pernicious without it was a ccompanied by the salutary and control ling Influence of religious instruction. He had no doubt - that in England more attention was paid by parents and relatives of children to their education than in any other country on the face of the globe, and it was, in his opinion, a fallacy to suppose that in Prussia or America education of the young was attended to more than it was in Eng land. He believed that the Hon. Member for Oldham was now perfectly convinced that he kad not the Church of England with him, or the Methodists, or any religious body who held the principles that religion was essential as a part of the education of the young. Such being the tact, how, he would ask, could he expect to carry on the measure to a successful issue? His opposition to the Bill was based upon the ground that no measure of education would be effectual, whether undertaken by the State or not, unless it was founded upon religion, and based upon that Eternal rock which no storms could shako or uproot. He trusted that her Majesty's Government, who did not discountenance the introduction of the Bill, would state upon what grounds they thought it could be supported.—(Hear, hear.) Members were called upon to support a measure, which, it it became law, would exclude all thoughts of religion. Tithes and church-rates were unobjectionable even to Dissenters, compared with the rates which would be im posed by this Bill. By this measure they were telling the people that in a state education religion was not ne cessary. The object of the state must be to make the people moral and good members of society, and he could not see how that could be done without religion accom panying educatior. Mr. MONCKTON MILNES supported the second reading of the Bill, considering its objects to be to sup ply the deficiencies that at present existed in the moral and religious education of the people of this country. He trusted that the Government would take this question into their serious consideration, and carry it through to a successful issue. The Kidderminster Election Committee was here sworn, consisting of the following Hon. Members: — Viscount Enfield, Mr. A. Stafford, Mr. Morris, Sir W. Jolliffe, and Mr. Bouverie. The debate was then continued. Lord J. RUSSELL—Sir, I should be very glad that any Bill brought forward for the purpose of promoting education should be such that I could fairly give it my support on its second reading; and in treating of this Bill I will endeavour to avoid as much as possible everything that may savour of passion or intemperance in stating my objections to it, and I will endeavour to make every admission which I think is fairly due to the author of the Bill and to the Bill itself. In the first place, therefore, I must say, notwithstanding some al legations that have been made, that I think there is still a lamentable want of education for the poorer classes of this country, and that it still remains a desi rable object of Parliament to promote and further the education of those classes.—(Hear, hear.) In the next place, I must say that I think an unjust inference would be drawn from the words used by my Noble Friend who seconded the motion for the second reading of the Bill this day six months, if it were to be contended that even if we were to establish schools whore none but secular teaching could be admitted, it should follow by a neces sat y consequence that these opinions would be inculcated by authority, or that those writings, some part of which we have heard read, would be at all prevalent among the teachers there. I very much doubt whether, eve n it l'arliwnent were to declare that certain schools should be established, and that secular education only should be permitted in those schools, giving the ordinary edu cation, teaching, reading, writing, grammar, geography, and history, you would fi v n e d op t l h e a t t he w r i e tl w i o t u h l e d p h r e e a v n a y ili i i n ig_ chlaibniattsioaniadto°aPdinoi;tiltshoefsethaeuthors as the standard of their creed and belief.

I own I cannot but think that any education on such a basis must be lament ably insufficient.—(Cheers.) I cannot but think that nothing but the most absolute -necessity should oblige P a rliament to come to such a conclusion, and establish, by preference as it were and as a matter of choice, an —.—L--------- _ CHEAT EDI LION OF MR.

Regent-street A PAIR OF POST-OFFICE PETITIONERS. —The fol lowing instance, for the accuracy of which we can vouch, may serve as an example of the unscrupulous manner in which the anti-Sabbatarians (for such, as Lord Brougham t ru thfully maintains, they practically are) get up their petitions to Parliament : —On Tuesday, the 25th of March last, about a quarter before eight in the evening, two lads were passing the vestry of Free St. David's Church, Ward-road, Dundee, when they were invited by the beadle,. who was in attendance, to come in and sign a peti tion against Post-office labour on Sundays. The petition bore to emanate from the congregation. The lads were known not to be members of the congregation, and they were visibly the worse for drink; but yet their signatures were thankfully accepted. Within little more than a quarter of an hour thereafter, they were both in custody on a charge of murder, committed immedi ately after signing the petition, within three minutes' walk of the spot they had done sot As the stand committed for trial, we refrain from entering upon the circumstances further than to say that we understand the affray commenced with out any provocationbeing offered to them by the deceased, who was an unoffending young man, quietly going home with his sweetheart, to whom he was about to be married; and the more the fatal stab, which one or other of them is said to have inflicted ,can be attributed to intlxication rather than to a deliberate fe'kuious purpose, the more disgraceful it is that the names of such persons should go up to the Legislature as consientiol is subscribers to a petition of the object of which, when they signed it, they could have had uo compreheuein whateyek~Scotaman. education for the children of this country in which reli gion should be entirely excluded—in which the immorta. part of man should be altogether forgotten.--e(Louo cheers.) To establish such a principle without an abso lute necessity would be a grievous falling off in out own duty both to religion and the people. I can imagine that there may be places where such secula , education may be the only education that is possible. I can imagine that, supposing the inhabitants; of a parish to be so divided by religious dissensions as to have come te the conclusion that it would be impossible even to admi the reading of the Bible in the schools of the distrits —supposing it to be utterly impossible for them to agree on any one point of religious teaching whatever — I can conceive that, under such circumstances, the State might say that, in such an emergency and extremity, ii was better to give secular teaching to the children than to omit school instruction altogether.—(Hear, hear.) But the propositions contained in this Bill differ as widely as possible from the propositions which I have just stated. The Bill, I own, appears to me to be as contrary to all freedom of choice, as little conformable to the usual liberty allowed to Englishmen on this subject, as any Bill which it has been my fortune to see introduced into this House.—(Cheers.) The course which this Bill takes is not a little singular. In the first place, . the inspector ap pointed by the Committee of the Privy Council, who has the confidence of the Committee, who may or may not have the confidence either of the Church of England, or of the British and Foreign Scho ol So ci e t y , or of the Roman Catholic body, or who may have been appointed' withdut any such testimonials, is to state in 'his report, first, whether there is an adequacy or an inadequacy of secular instruction in any particular parish.—(Hear, hear.) And observe it is not stated that he is to go by any rule in framing that report. He is not bound to say there are so many children, tbere are 500 children in a parish, and 100 of them do not go to any school or re ceive any instruction whatever. His discretion is far more unlimited—(Hear, hear)—far more wide, because' he is to state whether the education is adequate, and he is to pay regard to the effect of any exclusion, whether arising from the expense of schooling or from the pecu liar religious teaching adopted in any school, or any other cause whatsoever. Why, it will depend entirely upon the opinion of this inspector—it will depend en tirely on his opinion whether the instruction shall be held sufficient er not.—(Hear, hear.) The next step, after the inspector has made his report, is for the Committee of the Privy Council to issue an order to the overseers of the parish, directing the appointment of an educational committee. Here is no option, no choice for the parish, but immediately to appoint an educa tional committee. The educational committee, again, is to take into consideration the state of the parish, and raise rates in order to provide gratuitous instruction solely of a secular kind.—(Hear, hear.) Why, Sir, we must consider that we are here d ea ling with a country in which many .schools have been established, schools which, however they may differ on other points, gene rally agree on one principle, and that principle is totally opposed to that adopted in this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) We have the schools connected with the National Society, which require that the children shall go to church on Sunday, and that the Catechisni and certain formula ries of the Church of England shall beg, taught; and the Wesleyans, who teach the Bible in their schools, and likewise the Catechism , but do not insist on teach ing it, or anything but r eadin g the Bible, to those children whose parents object to the teaching of he catechism. The British and Foreign School Society, in the third place, which orders the reading of the Bible, and makes it indispensable, but do not admit any cate chism or the formularies of any religions body whatso ever. We have the Roman Catholic schools again, which are under the direction of their own priesthogd; many subjects of secular instruction are mixed with ' religion, according to the opinions of the religious teachers of that large community. Now here we have many differences. I have stated to you, without men tioning the Congregationalists, and various other bodies in this country, the various modes of conducting these schools and the matter to be taught ; but throughout all pervades this principle, that religion shall be the principal thing taught.—(Loud cheers.) Well then, Ido say that such being the case, if such are the prevailing opinions orthis people of this country, it is too much to come with a scheme which shall oblige the ratepayers of any parish to subscribe for the purpose of the schools to be supported or established by this measure, and thus de stroy those schools already established by voluntary contributions, for gratuitous education, which, accord ing to many teachers and persons having had experience in education, was held to be the very best method of teaching the people.—(Hear, hear.) What is. the feeling which has been excited by this proposition, I will not say amongst those belonging to the Established Church, but others? What is the feeling expressed by the Wes leyan •conamittee ? They protest " Against any such method these united conferences feel thems, Ives bound to enter an earnest and renewed protest. The children whom it may be deemed necessary to educate in whole or in part at the public expense are—equally with all others in more favoured circumstances—immortal beings, and any system of instruction which does no regard there in that light, and deal with their highest and most enduring relations, must ever be viewed . by these committees as essentially defective, and calculated, by its omissions, to exert a most dangerous influence over those who receive it."—(Hear, hear.) Sir, I believe that this is not the opinion of the Wesleyans only, but the -opinion entertained by others , engaged in the great matter of education in this country ; and there fore I say, in the first place, with the Hon. Gentleman who proposed the rejection of this Bill, do not interfere with the conscientious liberty of those great bodies in this country, whether belonging to the Church or dis senting from the Church, but leave them to continue the education which they have hitherto supported.— (Hear.) In the next place, as I have said, I think the education that you would give without religion, though it might, in extremity, be that which you would permit in certain cases, must be exceedingly inferior to any education which admits the teaching of the Bible.— (Hear, hear.) I cannot but think it would be a great fault, w hen you are providing a law for the instruction of the people of this country, not to inform them of the great and leading truths of religion; and I think, when you are teaching moral doctrines, you lose nine-tenths of the force with which they might be inculcated if you do not tell the pupil that these are the precepts which are given by I),vine authority—(Hear, hear) —which have received Divine sanction , and upon which their e ternal welfare or misery is to depend—(Loud and pro longed cheering.) But, Sir, when you shall have estab lished these schools, what can you expect will be the re sult? I cannot but think, according to whet I have already stated, that there would be, in the first place, very great discouragement to all those who are now occupied in teaching in schools supported by voluntary contribu tions. I certainly understood the Hon. Member who proposed this • Bill, when he asked for leave to introduce it, that the first and main object of tke Bill would be the supporting by rates of schools which already exist, and that any schools which were to be added would be sup plementary and in addition to the existing schools. But I own I cannot read this Bill without feeling that it is intended that these schools—these secular schools, are to be the substitutes for the existing schools.—(Float, hear.) How are the people of this country, who wish to avoid establishing such schools, if this Bill were to be come law---and you are to suppose the Committee of the Privy Council agreeing with the plan here laid down—how are the people of this country who may still retain their opinions in favour of religious instruction, and their love for their old teachers and their established schools, to which they have been accustomed, to' retain the power of maintaining these schools, and refusing to establish others for secular education?—(Hear, hear.) I find this Bill so framed that there remains no mode of escape, because it provid es that if after the p recept has gone forth—after the edict has been issued to the over seers of the parish to appoint this educational committee —if this committee shall not perform its duty in the manner prescribed, then it shall be lawful for the y Com mittee of the Privy Cou ncil to undertake to suplythe deficiency, 'by establishing a school or schools for se cular education under this Act, and exercising the powers given to the educational committee for that purpose. Why, here is a power given to the Committee of the Privy Council in these few words to force on the people t itle Privy free schools according to this scheme, and to frame and object.—(Hear.) such an l a e m yy ou u n p t o o n f th t e a m as s ti n o c n h :satetsheoretaLems7tteine fact, power,' Councilere s Renewed cheers.) When and which I cannot grant.--( a m p a o y w t hink necessary which,ne slsarreyp!oatr, t i h s is a o d b e j spotic the Committee of the Privy Council was established the Noble Lord who is now the President took especial care, in writing to me upon the subject, to say that he conceived the powers of the Committee ought to be limited to the disposition of grants made by Parliament for the purposes of education. Here is a limited power—Parliament making the grant and the Committee of the Privy Council disposing of it according to rules and regulations which are laid before Parliament, and if Parliament makes no grant their power entirely ceases. But according to this Bill a power of taxation is given to the Council which, even though the calculation of my Noble Friend the Member for Bath should prove un founded—even though the amount should be 1,000,0001. instead of 3,000,0001. sterling, is still an enormous power to confer, especially when not asked for by any parish, when not desired — even if not objected to—by the people.—(Hear, hear.) Seeing. then, that the Bill is so framed, certainly in'a manner different from what I bad originally expected, and certainly in a manner which I cannot believe will be in conformity with the opinions or wishes of the people of this country, I feel myself compelled to give my vote for tl;e amendment moved by the Honourable Member for Northamptonshire.—(Cheers.) I must again repeat, that I do not think the means pro vided for education in this country are such that we should rest satisfied.—(lisar, hear.) I think it would be most desirable if we could obtain, before we went any further into the subject, further information than Parlia ment now possesses as to the existing means of educa tion, and as to the schools which have been established since the year 1833, the date of the last full information on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) I think it would be most desirable likewise to ascertain, where there is a de ficiency of education, if that deficiency arises from want of schools to which parents might send their chil dren, if it arises from the state of poverty existing in the district, or, as the Noble Lord opposite tells-us, in SQIIIO instances from the employment of children o con- w eeessaseseeeas.... tenuously that there is no time lett for education.

After two years of continental convulsions and of European war, the happy consummation of our peaceful career could not be attributed to any fortuitous concourse of counsel, but to that continuity of purpose which sprung from wise and well-founded principle. He thought they owed great gratitude of her Majesty's Ministers for the peaceful condition of this country, and for the prosperity which she so largely enjoyed ; and, with that feeling, he begged to return to the distinguished assemblage before him his hearty thanks for the honour done to the British army, identified as it was with the welfare of the British people.— (Cheers.) Sir C. NAPIER, in the absence c f some one better qualified than himself to return thanks for the navy, telt that the duty devolved upon him to say how deeply the honour which had been done that branch of the service in drinking their health was felt by him, and would be felt by the navy. Connected as he had been with that service for fifty years, during no small portion of which time he had served abroad, in various parts of the world, it was not at all won derful to him that in that great city the health of the navy was always received with the loudest applause. The city of London was the great resort of the com merce and iedustry of the country, and he was sure they would feel that, if it had not been fur the British navy, and for the protection afforded by our fleet, they could not have carried on, in the same safe manner, trade and commerce with all the quarters of the globe.—(Cheers.) 'With respect to the recent mea tures which had been proposed for the regulation of our navy and marine power, he hoped he might be allowed to express an opinion, that it would greatly add to the energy of our navy, and that he trusted the energy and vigour of our marine would enable them to compete with all the nations of the earth. At this moment he might say their navy was engaged, not only with the known but the unknown parts of the earth. At this moment there were gallant officers and their crews struggling to discover a passage between the Northern Polo and the uninhabitable land that surrounded it. A. private enterprise, too, had been brought to bear upon that object; and Americo, in the most noble manner, had sent out to assist those whose lives were at stake in that service. Ile hoped it would not be long ere they would see their gallant brethren restored to them.—(Cheers.) The improvement of the mercantile marine which was contemplated by the Bill of the Government would be of the greatest importance to the country. He thanked them for it, and trusted it would give the service a greater supply of men—that it would tend to the promotion of greater discipline, and greatly improve the captains and officers of merchant ships, and would maintain sobriety and good conduct in the service.—(Cheers.) In making these remarks in the presence of the First Minister of the Crown, he hoped he might not be accused of indiscretion, and that the Noble Lord and those whom he addressed would ac quit him of any such error in the observations he bad made to them.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of the clergy of the United Kingdom, and with it the health of the Dean of St. Paul's. The DEAN of ST. PAUL'S, in re turning thanks, said that so long as the Church' lived in the regard and attachment of the intelligent portion of the commu nity, of which the chief magistrate of the metropolis might be regarded as the exponent, he felt confident she would live in the support of the people, while she maintained that moderate, tolerant, an d com prehensive character by which, longer than any other Christian c hurch, she had been distinguished. That character which during two centuries of fierce polemical contest, and one century of peace, she had unswervingly maintained, he had no apprehension of her fall, however the thunder might roll around her, and clouds charged with the electricity of dissension seemed to threaten her. He felt as little anxiety for her as he did, in similar circumstances in the physical world, for that most magnificent of Protestant cathe drals which arose in the midst of the great metropolis, and over which he had lately had the honour of being called to preside. lie trusted, so long as he filled that post, and lived among the citizens of London, no conduct of his would impair the respect and at tachment through which the Church lived, and on which hung her influence and usefulness.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR said he was sure the next toast was one which would afford the greatest satisfaction to every one present. He gave them " the Healths of her Majesty's Ministers," and coupled with it "the Health of Lord John Russell." Lord J. Russeee—l rise to return you all our most grateful thanks for the honour you have clone us, and those of her Majesty's Ministers present, in drinking our health ; and, in the first place, I deeply regret to say that my right Hon. Friend the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, and the President of the Board of Control, are unable to attend your hospitable board this evening. In receiving the hospitality of the city of London, I can never forget the mighty changes that have taken place with which this city has been so intimately connected—connected too with ancient times and early beginnings —without feeling that we are now, in modern time s, beholdin g g rowin g up around us the present state of society, and this vast city, affording room for human growth and civi lisation. lam happy to perceive that you continue // s hose efforts of coomerce which, while they add to the /,..---// / i. o rt ./ I_, ~ ___ ; .. 4 _ bonds d are of this . country, will tend to unite in the -.,.! p . it ..i. - ?; -,.., .• tt , . 4: 1 r '.1,. i __ of amity all other nations, and bind in one feel ing the general influence of mankind. My Lords and _ -- gentlemen, you have done us the honour of drinking e". ' - ''' • , e,.... . our healths as 'persons intrusted with the important - -- -- 7 4 e office of advising the Sovereign, and directing the go vernment of the country. During the time we have had the honour of holding cffice there have been times of difficulty, times of famine, times of distress. • -q SD. We hare had a scarcity of some kind of food, amount ing in one part of the empire to actual famine. We have had to contend with great distress in this me tropolis, as in other large towns ; we have had to contend with times of rebellion, and with attempts at the separation of the united kingdom. It would not be proper for me in this place if I were to ven ture into political topics, or in any way to talk of the political distinctions which exist in this country ; but this I will venture to say, that we have not been despondent in those times ; that we have not quailed before the efforts of our enemies in any extremity, and that in times of commercial distress we gave at least our best attention and our best labour to restore commercial prosperty. I can answer f,:r the spirit which has animated us in those difficulties, and I trust it was not unworthy of Englishmen. I trust it was not unworthy of their great country, whose affairs we have the honour to direct.—(Cheers.) Let me assure you that we shall endeavour to conduct . those affairs for the future in the same spirit—that we shall consider the institutions cf the country are never so safe, are never so honoured, as when they receive all the amendments of which, from time to time, they are capable—that they will never throw aside anything that is useful merely because it is ancient—that they will never reject .' anything that is strange merely because it is new.— (Cheers.) It is by combining that reverence for antiquity, by promoting that respect for the principles on which our ancestors have founded our institutions, and at the same time adapting them to the present age—it is by this combination of respect for antiquity and regard for all modern improvements, that the freedom and happiness of this kingdom can be secured. —(Cheers.) I. am happy to observe that there is again near me the. Ambassador from France, whom, on a former occasion, I heard so well say, that his presence among us was a ,token of intimate political union between the two countries. May it long con tinue ! I believe that the union and intimate alliance of two such countries—countries which have anciently proved their prowess in arms so well that they need not be daunted by any foe who may wish to oppose them, and who, in later days, have, in literature and civilization, proved that they could do . all which could promote the one or the other—the union, / say, of two such countries can do nothing ' but promote the peace of the world and the welfare of mankind.—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR said, that on an occasion when they were at peace with all the world, it was with the greatest satisfaction he rose to propose " the Health of the Foreign Ministers," and to couple with them " the health of the French Ambassador.' The FRENCH AMBASSADOR—My Lord Mayor, my Lady Mayoress, I beg leave to thank you, in the name of my colleagues and of myself, for the honour you have done us in drinking our health. I begin to . be somewhat familiar with City legends. 'remember having read in one of your quaint chronicles some strange accounts of the military duties which were formerly imposed on the members of your corpora tion. At one time it is " that such of you as are well skilled shall be got ready, and that good, apt, and able persons of quality be armed with corslets, pikes, and bills, and dressed in yellow cloth, to fight with Flanders." At another time it is that you aro to send forth ships to annoy the King of Spain. Again, you are summoned to send forth, pinnaces for the suppressing of the Dunkirkers. When on such occasions the brave citizens of London were assetn bled, with what a burst of patriotic warmth they must have responded to the royal summons I If Gog and Magog could now but re-echo the words they hare heard uttered against offending foreigners, what dreadful things we should hear at this moment I Now, thank God, you appear in this splendid hall, not to provide means to suppress or annoy your neighbours, but to greet them with a gracious and hearty wel ceme. At the Mansion-house not a bitter drop is to be found in the loving cup, and with the sincerest gratitude we acknowledge the cordial reception you have given us, and the honour you have bestowed upon us in drinking our healths.—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then proposed " the health of Earl Grey and the House of Lords." Earl GREY, in thanking them for the honour they had done him and the members of the House to which he belonged, said that he could not reflect upon such a tribute of respect without remembering the long series of years during which the city of London and the Howe of Lords had occupied a conspicuous place in the institutions of the country. Both were ancient corporations. The House of Lords dated its origin front the earliest days of our history : and, while cen turies had rolled away, and amid all the changes that those centuries brought forth, the present House of Lords and the present corporation of London had preserved unbroken, and from generation to ge neration, that chain of succession which united the present to their past existence. He felt there was use in allowing their minds to dwell on such recollections of the past, but while they were bound to acknowledge with grati tude that it was to the favour of a gracious and over ruling Providence they owed the blessings enjoyed by this kingdom longer than by any other nation— the blessings of universal peace and of well-directed liberty,—whilst they humbly acknowledged, among secondary comes, as a result from those causes, the influence of their institutions, they might be permitted to recognise the disposition which had been so long felt among Englishmen, to look back upon the past with reverence. It was that disposition which led them, when their institutions wanted improvement, not to lay them wholly aside ; and he believed it was to that disposition they owed the stability of govern ment which had furnished them with so many elements of success.—(Cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON rose to return thanks for the House of Commons—l am sure I main deeply sensible of the great honour that you have done me in coupling my name with the compliment you have paid to one of the noblest assemblies of Englishmen — the Commons House of Parliament. It is indeed natural that when we are assembled in this hall you • should not forget, among your ancient institutions, and in the kind recollection of your various public bodies, the house of Commons, for between that House and the city of London there are those natural links of connexion which unite the principles of com merce with the principles of political liberty ; for while the city of London is the great representative of commercial principles, so the House of Commons is the peculiar guardian of the constitutional liberties of the country. Liberty and commerce go hand-in hand, and whichever happens to take the lead is sure to be followed by its companion. While commerce t p o a vceosmthet commerce y for i ts proper constitutional security l a i b n e d r ty, s t. b liberty ; c g o i v in e - s merce turns the mind of man to consider how the natural freedom of action and the intelligence of in tellect could be made most valuable to mankind ; and constitutional freedom gives to the commercial man that liberty of action without which commercial prin ciples can never be fully developed. It is on this account that we have seen that wherever political is fully devel o p ed, no matter how confined the liberty is how uncongenial the soil or unpromising the climate, we see commerce taking root, springing into youth or attaining to its full development, and that we have some small states, and even individual cities, rise to absolute wealth and political dominance, which never have been attained to by greater and more mighty empires. Whatever be the natural ad vantages which may have been bestowed upon this happy country—whatever the courage and skill of your seamen—whatever the intelligence and enter prise of your merchants,—whatever may be the safety or facilities of your ports,—and whatever the benefits of your insular position, you never could have enjoyed this proud pre-eminence in commercial prosperity in which you stand unrivalled, if you had not enjoyed the happy institutions which have been handed down to us by our ancestors. But commerce has higher aims aid higher views than the mere accumulation of wealth. It contributes to the happiness of all mankind, by enabling the different nations of the earth to satisfy their wants by the productions of the most distant portions of the globe. Commerce tends to allay these animosities which exist among the different portions of mankind. While making, them dependent on and better acquainted with each other, commerce tends to secure the peace of the world, and I may venture, without any exaggera tion, to say, that this link of amity, whether i b o t fbe of - s eN a 'en stron l b e l e t on dt of h o e f the , gold or of silver, or o.f_scjolirtt:o munoiroenf,ratogilaensiumbastte u substance ins friendship, than the strongest obligations of treaties —(Loud cheers) —and therefore I ma y sa y the main tainers of those g reat p rinci p les, while p ursuin g their nor i peaceful r g elations own honourable functions, and acquiring wealth for themselves and their country, have deserved, and still gst the greatest bene dfth factorsof ee s e ,, , ) fa t o ncmdo abmnkme toass ure id I are regarded obns a l w sensible, with feelings always beg a rn ob to return you my best you that the Members of the of peculiar obligation, of the honour you do th em when you recollect them in the ball of this great city. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL returned thanks in a short and appropriate speech, for the bar of England. Sir G. GREY proposed " The health of the Lord Mayor," and in doing so observed, that he had no doubt the cooperation and assistance which he bad received from the Chief Magistrate of the city of London on all occasions of difficulty or danger would . no doubt be afforded by the gentleman who so nobly entertained them that evening, should any occasion unhappily arise. He was rejoiced to think, however, The Loin MAX O A thanked the convex l y f u r th e that such was not likely to be the case.--(Cheete,) . V r , l • LIBERALS (I) WHO VOTED AGAINST MR.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—A wrought-iron bridge of very large dimensions is now in course of construc tion by the extensive iron founders , Messrs. Finch and Wil ley, ofWindsor-foundry, Liverpool, who have erected substan tial temporary premises for the purpose. The bridge has been designed by Mr. Brunel, the civil engineer of the line, and is to be thrown across. the river Wye. Its extreme length will be 600 feet, there being four arches or spans, one of 300 feet, and three of 100 feet each. As the navigation of the river cannot be interfered with, the immense span of 300 feet is rendered necessary. in order to prevent the erection of piers or other works, as a founda tion on which to rest the mass of iron work which will be brought into requisition. The principle adopted is that of suspension from a tube by diagonal chains, which carry the girders on which the line of rails is laid, and besides many other improvements being introduced to adapt the bridge to the peculiarities of the situation in which it will be required. The contraction and expansion of the iron work is provided for with the greatest exactness; oscillation and undulation from any of those causes by which they are usually produced on railway bridges, will. be effectually pre vented. The roadway will be nearly 100 feet above the level of low water mark. Large cylindrical pillars are to be driven into the ground near the margin of the river, and from these and the piers which form the extreme points of suspension the main support for the structure will be derived. The iron likely to be used in the bridge and cylindrical pillars will amount to 2,000 tons. To expedite the work, a large and very powerful engine has been erected, and extensive ma chinery breugbt into working order.--Monmouth Merlin. ..
