Now ready, in 2 vols., Bvo., with Portrait, 305., THE LIFE AND CORRESPONDENCE OF Maria Deane, of Cheltenham. Bequests had also been left to the institution by the late Mrs. Maria Raisson, of Sheffield, £lOO ; and the late E. Weston, Esq., of Leicester, £l9 19s. It was decided to form a new lifeboat station at Abergele, on the Welsh coast. Henry Nixon, Esq., through the Manchester branch, had generously defrayed the cost (£470) of the boat, &c. R. B. Hesketh, Esq., of Gwyrrh Castle, had also liberally undertaken to build the house for the reception of the boat. It was stated that the lifeboat which had been exhibited at the Crys'al Palace during the Christmas holidays had attracted considerable attention. The committee passed a vote of condolence to the family of the late Matthew Butcher, Esq., of Great Yarmouth, who had long been a zealous coadjutor of the insti tution at that place. Captain A. Small, examiner at the Custom-house, Glasgow, had during the past year collected for the institution in that city and elsewhere £450. He has for many years rendered the society valuable co-operation in Glasgow. Ap plications were made to place lifeboats at Portland Island, in Dorset, and at Cleethorpe, on the coast of Lincoln. Reports were read from the inspector and assistant inspector of lifeboats on their recent visits to various lifeboat stations on the coast. The accounts of the institution for the past year were ordered to be sent to Mr. G. C. Begbie, the public accountant, who had been the auditor of the so ciety for the past 16 years. A cordial vote of thanks was passed to Thomas Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., and Sir Edward Perrott, Bart., for their able conduct in the chair at the meetings of the institution during the past year. The proceedings then terminated. lenge obedience., seeing that its vast superiority would be so legibly written on every high road, that the wayfaring man, oven though he were a fool, could not fail to see it ; and which would ulti mately yield to the natural passion for power, by reducing the inferior grade to the rank of serfs.' That is what every aristocracy would be obliged to do if it could economise all the power latent in its nature and communicated by its position. Fortunately it is equal to no such feat. A merciful dispensation of Providence or dains that out of every favoured class a large proportion shall every year go to the mischief. Thus other men get a chance of rising. Thus society becomes a series of moral buckets, the One set going up as the other set comes down. Aristocracy is like a magnificent stable, with all the appliances for turning out winners of the Derby, the Oaks, the St. Leger, the Cambridgeshire, and every other big race ; with fine-looking colts picked up at Middle Park, with John Days for trainers and Challoners for jockeys. But somehow one colt catches cold ; an other breaks a blood-vessel ; a third falls a victim to the arts of a scoundrel who mixes ground glass with its corn ; a fourth is poisoned by the stable boy; a fifth drinks too much ; a sixth is so fond of play that it breaks its knees; and so on throughout the series, until horse after horse has to be "scratched," and only a sorry couple struggle roiled Tottenham Corner on the Derby-day. In no sta'e of society, therefore, could an hereditary aristocracy continue to produce the natural leaders of the people. And the more that society advances the more hard it is for the nobles to hold their ground" against plebeian upstarts. With social progress comes a host of new openings for energy. Trade, manufactures, litera ture, and science all spur the plebeian to put forth his utmost ability ; and first they reward him with wealth or fame, and then with political power. First they are despised as too vulgar to enlist the energies of the noble; they grow into a mighty power which exacts official recognition ; and thus they create new orders of aristocracy, each of which competes with the hereditary class, and each of which is built on those per sonal qualities that rule the earth. In our days an aristocracy may still retain its titles, its places at Court, its claims to social homage, its po sition as an estate of the realm, and even the landed possessions of more than half a country; but it cannot wield a thousandth part of its old power. That power is for ever shattered. In this country the day is not far off when that power will be only a tradition ; when, as a class, the nobles shall again be merged in the ranks of the people, and when the influence of each shall be measured by the nature of his personal qualities and the extent of his pos• sessions. The revolution will, in all probability, be slow ani peaceable, but none the less will it be complete. Those who rail against the social and political forces which are working the change might as hopefully rail against the law of gra vitation. Nothing further has transpired to throw light upon the last Fenian robbery in Cork. The most ingenious suppo sition respecting it is that it is the work of the London swell mob. The conjecture is gravely put forward in a local paper. It would be very reassuring if it were pro bable, but the only ground upon which it is based is that "some over-dressed strangers have within the past few weeks been seen in the elty." The Feniaus have. coma reason to complain that their friends should seek to disown them in this way, and deprrve them of the credit of an exploit of which they peo:ably feel very proud. It is especially unfair after leading them to expect the highest approval for acts of reckless audacity, and manifesting so cordial an interest in their "chivalrous" proceedings. They do not deserve such treatment, for they have shewn that they really possess seine of the honourable feeling am punctilious courtesy attributed to thieves. Their lender promised Mr. Allport that he should hear from them through an anonymous letter, and it appears they have kept their word. On Tuesday he received one in the following friendly terms :—" Dear sir, agreeable to my promise I send you an account of the number of revolvers which we took from your shop yesteiday ; the number was sixty-three. I hope we did not put you to any inconvenience or trouble, and strongly re commend the sub-constable on duty at the other side of Patrick-street, when we were taking them, to promotion.' UNCHEON .

A meeting of the Metropolitan Working Men's Con servative Association was held last evening at their rooms, Westminster, for the purpose of expressing abhorrence of " Americo-Fenianism," and attachment to the throne and constitution of the country. Mr. W. Jones, F.G.S., occupied the chair. At the last meeting of the executive committee it vas resolved that, as no steps had as yet been taken in the metrop'...lis to give expression to public opinion upon the subject ci Fenianisin, it was their duty to take the initiative. AfterOe chair man had brie.ly opened .no proceedings, - -a long disassion ensued, from which it appeared that the Lord Mayor had been invited to take the chair at the proposed meeting, and was willing to accede to the request of the association; but, as Exeter Hall had been suggested as the place of meeting, it became a question whether his lordship should preside at a great public gathering outside the City. It appeared that this difficulty had not as yet been over come, and accordingly the consideration of the arrange ments was adjourned to a special meeting of the associa tion. It was announced in the course of the discussion that several leading men had expressed themselves willing to join in the proposed anti-Fenian demonstration, and to address the meeting, and that upon an occasion of the kind, unconnectedwith party or politics, there was likely to be a fusion of Conservatives and Liberals upon a subject essentially a national one. The secretary leaving announced that active steps were being taken to procure a suitable place for the meeting, which would be held on an early day, the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. policy of ld, apply L canna A Life-size PORTRAIT MODEL of THEODORE, KING of ABYSSINIA, is now added; also all the Kings and Queens of England, American Celebrities, &c.

Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held in its house, John-street, Adelphi—Thos. Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. There were also present Lord Henry Cholmondeley, Sir E. Perrott, Bart., Admiral Si r W. 11. Hall, K.C.8., Caj taro Arrow, deputy mast er o f the Trinity House; Col. Fitzroy Clayton, W. 11. Barton, Esq., Col. Palmer, Captain Ward, inspector of lifeboats to the institu tion ; and Richard Lewis, Esq., the secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, rewards amounting to £2BO were ordered to be given to the crews of the following lifeboats of the institution for their gallant services during the storms of the past month :---The lifeboat Edin burgh, and R. M. Ballantyne, stationed at Port Logan, N. 8., saved 15 men from the barque Strath leven, of Glasgow, on the 17th ult. Twelve months previously to the very thy, the wife and children of the captain of this ship had given a contribution in aid of this lifeboat. The Donna Nook lifeboat, the North Briton, saved the crew of six men of the schooner Esk, of Montrose, and rendered other ser vices to distressed vessels. The Licensed Victuallers' lifeboat at Hunstanton saved 15 men from the screw steamer Harmonia, of Hamburgh, making in all 31 persons rescued by this lifeboat since she was placed on her station in September last. The St. Andrew's lifeboat saved the crew of four men of the sloop Christian and Charlotte, of Peterhead. The late A. W. Jaffrey, Esq., of St. Mildred's court, presented to this institution the cost of this lifeboat, and of those at Whitby and Thurso, and since Mr. Jeffray's lamented death these boats have saved 48 lives from different shipwrecks. The Royal Berkshire lifeboat, at Aberdovy, North Wales, brought safely into harbour the schooner Jane Sophia and the smack Hope, both of Aberystwith, with their crews. This lifeboat has been instrumental, altogether, during the past year, in bringing three vessels into harbour which would have been totally lost without its aid, and of bringing ashore the crew of another vessel, which broke up immediately after they were taken off. The Parsee lifeboat, stationed at Palling, rendered considerable assistance to the distressed vessel Neid, of Colchester. The lifeboat Willie and Arthur, at New Brighton, rescued 13 men from the ship Thornton, of New York. The Thomas Wilson lifeboat, stationed at Whitburn, brought ashore the master of the brig John, of Hartlepool, and the Padstow lifeboat saved the crew of three men of the sloop Telegraph, of Port Isaac. The lifeboats at Hoyle, Margate, Berwick-on-Tweed, Bridlington Quay, Scarborough, Ballywalter, Rams gate, Drogheda, Caister, Fraserburgh, North Deal, and Great Yarmouth, had also rendered various -services to distressed vessels during the past month. Various rewards were also glinted to the crews of different boats for saving life from shipwreck on our coasts. Payments amounting to upwards of £2,000 were made ou various lifeboat establish ments. During the past year•the 'lifeboats of the institution have saved the lives of 785 persons, in addition to 35 vessels rescued from destruc i Lion. The institution has also grauted rewards fur saving 303 . persons from various wrecks by shore boats and other means; so that the society has con tributed altogether, during the past year, to the rescue of 1,088 lives from different shipwrecks. A sailor's daughter has forwarded to the institution, through Messrs. Drummond, a fifth donation of £lOO. A legacy of £lOO had been received during the past month from the executors of the late ars. Among the feudal beauties than we cannot bring back is, I repeat, an aristocracy which shall supply the natural leaders of the people. The force of circumstances has repealed the heavy protective duty on natural gifts, without which an hereditary aristocracy, such as that of old England, cannot exist. Even yet, no doubt, we are a considerable distance from free trade in qualities of heart and brain. Even yet the aristocracy have the best chance of getting the readiest and most pro fitable market for their statesman-like and soldierly wares. If two suen of equal abi lity, one the son of a duke, the other the son of a grocer, enter Parliament, the scion of nobility has the prospect of a seat in the Cabinet 20 years before the other; the one has a good chance of some day being Prime Minister, the other has almost none. On the other hand, the son of the duke is much less likely to be a hard worker than the son of the grocer. At Eton and at Oxford he finds it difficult to become a reading man, wh e n boating and cricketing offer so many immediate rewards. When, on coming to town, he takes chambers in the Temple, and reads law as a pre paration for political life, he has to stand a host of temptations to idleness, to dissipation, and to vice. Contact with some of the ablest young men in the country soon tells him also that nothing short of eight or ten hours' hard work a-day for years will put him ou an intellectual level with his plebeian rivals. The prizes for which those men struggle at the bar, or in Parliament, are so bril liant that, in sporting phrases, the " pace is tre mendous ;" and if a young fellow has a title, au assured position in society, a handsome allowance from his father, and the certainty of falling heir to some thousands a year, we cannot wonder that he declines to work like a dray horse in King's Bench Walk, Inner Temple, or in the committee-rooms of the House of Commons. Nor can we wonder that his ambition lessens with advancing years. If at twenty he aims at the premiership, at twenty two his ambition is very likely to soar no higher than a secretaryship of state. At twenty-five it may have come down to a junior lord ship of the Admiralty, whose chief duty is "to cheer the Minister." At thirty it is, perhaps, con tent with a seat for one of the family boroughs, and with the prospect of place at some future time when billiards have lost their charm, and a blue book shall have more fascinations than the Racing Calendar. So, between late hours, brandy and seltzer, Pall Mall and Newmarket, the chances are that the son of a duke, instead of going to the Treasury bench, will go to a very different sort of place. That is one of the merciful provisions by which nature guards the poor multitude against the tyranny of the rich few. Nothing is more clear than that, in the long run, circumstances make men. Take a thousand men of equal ability ; put five hundred to the blacksmith's forge, so that their muscles shall be exercised all day long, and their brains never; put the other five hundred into a philosophical class-room, or the House of Commons, so that their wits shall be sharpened by constant practice; and if no malign influence come in to defeat the experiment, a few years will place as great a difference between the ability of the hand workers and the brain-workers as there is between a mechanic and a North American Indian. Nor will the distance remain stationary. Day by day it will grow ; for while intellectual work affords a constant stimulus to mental development, manual labour stimulates only up to a certain point. Manual work demands thought dur ing the process of learning, and then becomes mechanical. The intellectual benefit which a skilled mechanic reaps from his toil is mostly got during the years of apprenticeship, and not during the years when the hand has become attuned to obey the impulses of the mind with the regularity of a machine. Nor does even that fact measure the disadvantages of toil. The children of the black smith will not start on an intellectual level with the children of the thinkers, though the two sets of parents were originally equal in natural endowments. Physiology has left no doubt that the one class will begin life with a much finer intellectual fibre than the other ; with a better made, better oiled, more powerful brain-machine. And even if that fact be denied, an incontestible and hardly less signal advantage rests with the scholarly families. The blacksmiths on the one hand, and the thinkers on the other, have been generating an atmosphere of ideas ; but while the ideas of the one are poor and closely connected with the anvil, those of the other are a mighty crowd, rich, subtle, highly organised,and running up into every crevice of human life. In each case they form links of association with problems which the full-grown man has to solve ; they are seeds which will fructify and grow under the heat of active life ; they are the primary materials with which thought is to work. Hence by the time that the children of the 500 black smiths and the children of the 500 students begin the task of formal education, they are already sepa rated by a mighty intellectual distance. The one set understand nothing beyond the forge ; and if a thoughtful book be put into their hands, they have not light enough in their own minds to see its meaning. The other are so richly dowered with links of association that they easily find their way through intellectual labyrinths in which their poor relatives would be hopelessly lost. Since they pos sess the materials of thought in abundance, the suggestion of an event, or a word, or a sound, or an image, leads them, as if by instinct, to fresh ideas, which, in turn, form new starting points. Hence, if an malign influence check the growth of those men, they will reach a higher mental stature than their fathers ; and in like manner their children will attain ahigher stature than themselves. Now, brain power rules in despite of laws passed to handicap it in the race with mediocrity ; and since the offspring of our five hundred students would always be grow ing more able than the offspring of our five hundred blacksmiths, it follows that, in the absence of any malign influence, we should in time have an aristo cracy which should be the lord and master of the iuferior caste ; which should hardly need to ch4l. E LEMENTARY ED UCA 2 lON. A parliamentary paper just issued, completing a return already made for England and Ireland, shows the proportional number of men and women in Scotland who, on marrying, made their mark on the register, and could not (at least did not) sign their names. In Scotland, in 1855, 114 per cent. of the men who married had to make their mark, and 22.8 per cent. of the women ; in 1865 the pro portions were nearly the same-11.4 per cent. of the men and 22.2 per cent. of the women. In Eng land, in 1854, 29.5 per cent. of the men, and 42.2 per cent. of the women, made their mark ; and in 1865, 22.5 per cent. of the men and 31.2 per cent. of the women. Ireland had no civil registration in 1855 ; in 1865, 40 . 6 per cent, of the men and 52.2 per cent. of the women made their marks and did not write their names. Thus in round numbers the proportion of the illiterate stool as follows, naming the countries in this order-Ireland, Eng land, Scotland. Of the men 40, 22, 11 in 100, and of the women 52, 31, 22 in 100. In Scotland education appears to be most backward in Ross and CromArty, as many as 33.8 per cent. of the men and 47 . 5 per cent. of the women made their mark in 1865. The county of Inverness is not very much better off : the illiterate were 27.4 per cent. of the men and 48.8 per cent. of the women. Then fol low the counties in which there is a large proportion of Irish-Dumbarton, Linlithgow, Renfrew, Lanark -all with a proportion of illiterates much above the average for the kingdom. The insular county of Shetland and the purely highland county of Sutherland have 28 in 100 of their women unable to write ; but the number of the men thus illiterate is in that county almost exactly the average, and Shetland only 7 per cent. The great county of Ehnburgh had only 6.2 per cent of the men and only 11 . 6 per cent. of the women unable to write in 1865. The greater county of Lanark, with its Irish immigration, has to acknowledge this condi tion of 15.1 per cent, of its men and 314 per cent. of its women ; and this county has more than a fifth of the population of Scotland. The successful work ing of the parochial school system of Scotland has been in the high proportion of persons in the rural districts able to write. The classification adopted in this return shows in the districts contain ing parliamentary boroughs 13.2 per cent. of the men and 26.4 per cent. of the women in 1865 making their mark and not signing their name ; in the districts not containing parliamentary boroughs, only 9.3. per cent. of the men, and only 17.2 per cent. of the women. It is a remarkable fact, and not exceptionally peculiar to the year 1865, that in all the 33 counties of Scotland only two-Inverness and Ross and Cromarty-show a proportion of men who had to sign by mark so high as tie average of all England ; and except in those two counties and in Renfrew no county in Scotland shows a proportion of men so high as the common English mean, who had to sign their names by mark. In 14 Scotch counti , a more than 95 in a hundred of the men who married in 1865 signed their names upon the register, and in 13 counties more than 90 per cent. of the women. The small amount of pro gress shown by the average for the whole kingdom in 1865 as compared with 1855 is to be laid to the blame of the town districts. The districts contain ing parliamentary boroughs had in 1855 only 12.7 per cent. of the men marrying who had to make their mark, but in 1865 13.2 per cent. ; and of the women the number was 24 . 8 per cent. in 1855, but 26.4 per cent. iu 1865. On the other hand, the districts not containing parliamentary b orou g hs had in 1855 9.9 per cent. not signing t h e i r names, but in 1865 only 9.3 per cent. ; and of the wo men 20 7 per cent. of illiteratesin 1855, but only Th ese fig ure s 17.2 per - cent, in 1865.5h0w where the whole United schoolmaster is wanted. In n tmen and t . of the he Kingdom 239,769 marriages were e registered in the year 1865, and 23.70 per cent. 32.98 per cent. of t h e women did not sign their names upon the register, but made their mark.

A DVERTISEMENT. - I.lonoWay ' S Ointment and Pills.- 13 - calth defences. —None save the strongest can with im punity pass through the sudden transitions from wet to dry, from cold to muggy weather so prevalent during the late autumn and early winter months. Influenza, bron chitis, cough, sore throat, diptheria, or quinsey will attack those most watchful of the health ; but they can readily arrest any of these complaints by rubbing Holloway's Ointment twice a day upon the skin adjacent to the af fected part, and by assisting its coructive action with ap propriato doses of his Pills. This well known, safe, and easy mode of treatment efficiently protects the invalid from present and future danger without weakening or even depressing the system in the slightest degree. Yesterday, at the Norfolk Quarter Sessions, some reference was made to the state of the country. The chair was occupied by Sir W. Jones, and among those present were Lord Suffield, Colonel Fitzroy, Mr. E. Howes, M.P., Mr. R. J. H. Harvey, M.P., Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., &c. Lord Suffield moved the adoption of an address to her Majesty, expressing the indignation and sorrow with which the magistrates had heard of the outrages committed in the metropolis and other parts of the United Kingdom against the lives and property of her Majesty's subjects by persons engaged in organising a seditious insurrection against her Majesty's glorious and beneficent rule. The address added that any steps taken by the Government to repress the odious conspiracy would receive the hearty and vigorous co-operation of her Majesty's loyal :sub jects in the county of Norfolk. The noble lord observed that, happily, Norfolk had been perfectly free from any of those dastardly, cowardy, and rascally attacks which had been made elsewhere, and he trusted that the county would continue to enjoy a similar immunity. lie believed that the present Government would meet any proceedings of the Fenians with the utmost firmness, and such was the only manner in which the occasion could be met.—Mr. E. Howes, M.P., in seconding the address, observed that in voting that clay £750 for the repair and improvement of militia depots at Norwich and Great Yarmouth the magistrates had given some earn , st of their desire to repress the conspiracy. —Mr. R. J. H. Harvey, M.P., said he feared there was a growing feeling of sus picion as regarded the Irish people, and that in some of cur largest manufactories there was a danger of ' Irishmen being dismissed just because they were irisheora ; thi was a feeling which he considered it desirable to prevent.— The Chairman, in putting the motion for the adoption of the address, expressed his concurrence in what had fallen from Mr. Harvey, and said he thought, if there were any body of men who deserved sympathy in the present unplea sant and terrible state of things, it was the loyal subjects of Ireland. In every step we took in repressing the present conspiracy, we should endeavour to dissociate Fenianism from Irishmen. We should repress steadily, firmly, and severely, and without the shadow of doubt, hesitation, or pity, every miscreant who participated in the shameful outrages of Fenianism ; and he believed that with such a policy they would be stamped out. But we must never forget that Ireland was in the main loyal. If any proof of this were wanted, it might be found in the fact that in trying recent political prisoners it had not been necessary to change the venue, as such offenders had been convicted by Irish juries selected without regard to class or creed. He believed Fenianism was the work of a number of men who had run riot in the late horrible civil war in the United States ; they had bean engaged there in a feast of incendiarism and blood, and now that peace was restored in America they were trying on the same thing here.—The address was adopted unanimously, and it was agreed that it should be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting, and should then be forwarded to the Home Secretary for presentation to her Majesty. At the Leicester Quarter Sessions Mr. Serjcant Hayes said the men who were really responsible for the outrages which had taken place were still at large, while those who had been arrested were mere dupes in the hands of others. He believed that the Fenian movement originated in America, and a number of Yankee Irishmen had gulled many of the lower class of the Irish population in this country into becoming their followers and carrying out their nefarious plans. But the time had arrived, in his opinion, when this matter must be dealt with severely. There were in this country a number of men who dare not shew themselves in the public streets in Ireland, but who could walk about unmolested and with impunity in England. It had been found necessary in Ireland to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act, and that appeared to him to be the only effectual remedy that could be adopted here. He could not see why the same remedy for the same evil, and the same punishment for the same men, should not be adopted in this country as in Ireland. If this were not the case it was an argument in favour of Fenianism, as the Irish people could then say that they suffered from the effects of unequal legislation. The adoption of this course appeared to him to be the only way in which the really responsible parties could be caught and their power for mischief prevented. At Cambridge an address to her Majesty, expressing a determination to support the Government, was agreed to. A gratifying instance of the readiness of working men u. protect property in a crisis like the present has been brought under our notice. The men employed in the Greenhead Mills, Glasgow, to the number of eighty-two, have presented the owners, the Messrs. Hohns Brothers with an address, in which they offer their services to watch in rotation the property of the firm during the New Year holidays, and for any longer period that may be thought necessary. As this action on the part .of the men was perfectly spontaneous, it affords a pleasing proof of the good understanding which subsists between them. selves and their employers, and sets an example which, if generally followed, would go far to defeat Fenian designs. At the Dublin Lord Mayor's Show, on Wednesday (tne successor of Mr. Joynt being Dr. Carroll) the streets, we learn, were thronged by a crowd which had a good deal of the American-Irish aspect, and the roughs who collected in strong force outside the City Hall showed little respect for the authority of the police, who did their utmost to preserve order with excellent temper. A vote of thanks to the outgoing Lord Mayor was passed with one dissen tient. Town Councillor Sullivan (editor of the Il'ation), in the course of a speech, said he had not taken part in the Lord Mayor's procession. Persons should be careful nowadays what processions they assisted in, and " cer tainly he had no desire to follow after the 12th Dungarvan Lancers." The band of the Lancers led the civic parade. The marriage of Miss Louisa Milbank, daughter of Mr. and the late Lady Margaret Milbank, grandniece of the Duke of Cleveland and the Earl of Wemyss, and niece of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, with Mr. Francis Arkwright, eldest son of the late Mr. Arkwright -of Sutton Scarsdale, was solemnised on Thursday at St. Paul's, Kniihtsbridge. The Archbishop of Canterbury officiated, assisted by the Rev. H. Langhorne. The briLle'B dress was of white silk, covered with magnificent point lace, and veil of same, with diamond and pearl ornaments. The Archbi4op read the service in the most impressive manner.—Pat.
