'to 1 .42,1 1 VT A m fte 141'w,. A ND C 0 M MERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Aceounts from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and Prices were unaltered. The sales were estimated at about 5,000 bales. The Railway Share-Market Closed steadily at previous rates. The Bank of England weekly return, made np to the 19th inst., is not of a character to inspire confidence in the establishment of a lower discount quotation. On the contrary many will be induced to predict greater stringency, unless sole change for the better soon takes Place. What creates most attention is the keeumulation of securities, and the decline jo the bullion, but tne la+ter, it is hoped may soon be remedied by the arrival of Australian gold, which now on the passage, and may be considered over t itle. There is reason to believe that the total at the present moment exceeds , the aggregate given below, as 150,000/. to 200,0001. in gold and sove reigns was sent into the vaults early this week. The securities, however, in the face of preparations for the end of the month, are not likely to diminish, bat rather the reverse. The reserve of notes has been trenched upon to a small extent, but there is large increase in the other deposits to which this a dverse movement may be ascribed. The principal !teeas, and the changes they present, are as sub : Active Circulation Increase •• 9b,390 Bullion 11,188,560 Decrease , 29,901 Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 802,670 Increase Government Securities No alteration. • Other Securities Increase Notes unemployed Decrease The amount of hills drawn by the Hon.

EI STATE OF TRADE.—MANOESTEB, September 25. he cemparative inactivity noticed on Tuesday is quite ae marked this morning, and, though prices are floral 41y unchanged, sellers are not demanding the extreme 1- ees lately asked. Sti:l many kinds of yarn and „10 th are so low in stock, and the makers are so well su pplied with orders for them, that there is great firm ;eas in some cases, and this is to be expected. China f ittings of 71b. to B.}lb. weight are in some demand at : l el rates, and printed cottons are not likely to b e .. getteer with the present demand, their increased co st a'A depending upon dearness of cotton alone, but the Deceas e d cost of indigo, cochineal, and other dye stuffs. !Ilexes —Mining business has been very active, though ha llways an d th e f un ds have been depressed, with little b usin essk doing. The great extension of the mining war t)" , the short supply of stock, and the numbers of 05'ere through the medium of the Stook Exchange, 11 addition to the regular sources, render it difficult to I !‘'t , shares at times, and consequently prices advance a eldly when a good demand takes piece. On looking back at the state of the market six months ago, when the standard for copper ore was high (1501.) and copper leee in favour, we find that Bassett shares were 270 ; Frances, 340 ; Alfred C msol4, 23) ; West Bassett, 34 ; North Basset, 33. Then came the first fall in cop per. creating alarm amongst shareholders, increased week by week by the continued decline in the standard, ilhich fell in a few weeks to 1291. We considered at le time, and stated so, that the fall was temporary, 444 now we find it up again to 1491. 4.. But how stand i la nY of the copper mines ? Basset Etlnds at 20, or 2 0 less than before the standard dropped ; South Frances 40 , or 100 l ess ; North Basset, 16, or 17 less ; %Vest b asset, 26, cr 7 l es s ; and others in proportion. Many, b uereiere, seem to think that these shares are worth bu ying, even for the reduced rates of dividends, as they m ay again improve with copper. Shares in good pro r'sive copper mines are also receiving attention. — % (iv Journal of this day. T ,_511AR,21 LEIMIz 4 iTE I 6 v,is Day.) RAILWAYS.

GUILDHALL, ARROW ALDERMEN.—This being the usual day for disposing of cases in Petty Ses sions, Mr. Alderman Hale and Mr. Alderman Copeland took their seats on the bench this morning at the usual hour. Mr. Alderman C.ope!and took occasion to refer to the incorrect mann, r in which his remarks, in reference to apprehending a man in Bride- 1 83e, on suspicion of betting, a few days ago, was reported in The Sun. He certainly thought at the time, and said that the police man, in apprehending the man, searching him, and taking from hint his pocket book, watch, and money, acted uojustifiab y, and that the p&ics would be better occupied by looking after the stage in Capel-court deal. ing in stocks, and at the Baltic Coffee-house, where tly,u-ands of bane's of tallow were bought and sold without delivery, the difference only being handed over. What he wished to set right was that the report attributed th him that he stated tallow was eo!d in Capel Court, a statement (if uncontradictod) that betrayed great ignorance on his part of commercial transactions in the city of Lan lon. He thought it ra ther like a crusade against these men to apprehend them, take their property from them, and march them to the station-house like felons. Ile did not for a single mo ment— Mr. Alderman Hale—l thought your remarks at the time very improper, and with regard to the report in the papers I thought it a very fair one. Mr. Alderman Copeland—.l only want after having been connected for 40 years with commercial transac tions in the city of London to set myself right in a state ment I made here en a former Gcevion. Mr. Allerman Hale- I think it would have been very unbecoming of me had I come in by accident when you were bearing a case to refer to earthenware. I never f -peculated in a ca , k of tallow in my life in that way. It I had alluded to eartbE-nware— Mr. Alderman Copland.—lf you choose to take it to yourself, you are welcome. I only made the remarks in the course of my public duty. Mr. Alderman Bale.—You were not called on to interfere in the case in question. Mr. Alderman Copeland.—l stall always interfere when I think it necessary. I will not enter into any controversy with you here, but I must repeat that, when I see a man taken up, unjustly treated as a felon, and his property taken from him, I shall always interfere. Mr. Alderman Fiala— Well, I don't think it was be coming in you to interfere. _ Mr. Alderman Copeland--I am perfectly competent after 30 years to discharge the duties of my oce. I shall go where I can meet with more courtesy than I have met with here. Mr. Alderman Hale—You are quite at liberty to do ko. The alderman then left, and Mr. Alderman Humphery had t i bo sent for to assist Mr. Alderman Hale in dis posing of the business. WESTMINSTER. CaTELTY TO A CHILD.—Two respectable-looking women who appeared much distressed and agitated entreated the magistrate's interference on behalf of a clad they had with them, who had been much neglected and ill-treated. _ _ _ The applicants said they lodged in the same house as the child, in Tuftou-street, and as there was no land lady there they had considered it their duty in the exercise of common humanity to interfere. The child's father was dead and her mother had been married again to a man named Connor, a stoker at the House of Lord. He was continually beating the child, who was in a vay filthy and neglected state, and beat her severely with a policeman's strap both last night and this morning. Mr. Paynter—Did you see the assault committed ? Applicants—N.. We heard the child's, screams which were very distressing. Mr. Paynter—What is her age Applicants—Only nine years. Mr. Paynter—Has she any marks I Applicants—Yes, Sir. She is beaten very severely. The chili, who exhibitei the appearance of gross neg lect, was pl Iced before the magistrate, and on her shoulders being bared, they exhibited considerable dis colouration and contusion. _ _ Mr. Paynter—Have you examined the lower part of her person I Applicants—Yes, her, legs and: thighs are covered with bruises. _ _ Mr Paynter—Does the mother in no way interfere to prevent this ill-treatment of the child' Applicants—Poor creatur.., she cannot. All she can do is to cry. She is lying very bad ou a sick-bed, and is perfectly helpless. The child has been so frequently ill treated that her senses are being beat out of her. Mr. Paynter—Do you know what was the reason assigned for beating her Applicants—The reason this morning was, that when he came home to his breakfast the kettle did not boil — he appears to forget that this is but a mere child, and makes no allowance for her tender age, which a father should do. Mr. Paynter immediately granted a summons against ,he lather without payment of the acoustomed fee. TEIAMES. SINGULAR OPPOSITION TO A CLAIM FOR SiIC WAGES. —Mr. Smith, master of the ship Sea Star, attended be fore Mr.Selfe to answer a claim of a seaman named Scott for wages due to him for a voyage from Singapore to London at 31. a mouth. - - Mr. Stoddart appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Smith for the defendant. , Mr. Stoddart hasieg stated the case, The evidence d the complainant was to the eft et that he and some others of the crew signed articles to go to Shanghai, and that the vessel went to Singapore. The captain was not present when they signed the articles, and it was alleged by hire, com plainant, that other places had been introduced in the articles which were not there when, they were signed, At Shanghai seven of them asked for their discharge, which was . : refused by the captain who sail they should all go before the consu'. They went there, when after an examination before hire (the consul), he, believing the articles were regular, had them all sent to prison. Ile was there a month, at the expiration of which time he was sent on board with his hands handcuffed behind, and he remained in that position 18 hours. Some time after the captain promised him that if he would go to work again and behave himself like a man he would not deduct his wages from Singapore. , Mr. Selfe said that the captaio had no right to keep a man in custody out of gaol. The agreement bLtweee the captain and the complain ant from Singapore to London having been confirmed by a witness, Mr. Smith put in a claim for expenses for the main tenance of the complainant while in prison and for de duction of wages while there. Mr. Selfe said that ' , he law did not allow the first claim, and that the captain said he would not deduct wages if complainant behaved himself well from Singa pore. Defendant admitted there were now three in prison at Shanghai for the same offence at that of complainant. Complainant um allowed 181. 94. Paid' RAILWAYS. R. 100 'llnokghamsh. it. 100 (nyder?ale Jc.

RESTORATION OF DROWNED PERSONS.—For the re storation of drowned 'persons the method so strongly , advocated by the late talented physician and physiolo gist, Dr. Marshal Hall, is n method at once simple and efficacious. In the wedk:a l profession this is known as "the ready method of Dr.. Marshall Hall," and may not inaptly be regarded as his: last legacy to the cause of suffering humanity. This , method needs no apparatus _ ; all that is required being t hat the body of the drowned person, be it man, woman, or child, be placed upon its chest and abdomen, with the arms under its forehead, and then turned from lido to side, as one would roll a winecask or beercask in - process of cleansing ; but, of course, .more slowly and. gently, and continuing this rotary motion until full in :Litton of the lungs shall have taken place, Educated persons acquainted with the prin ciples of natural philosophy, and at the sometime having any knowledge of the structure of the bony and carti laginous chest in which it . contained the lungs, will at once perceive the reasons ion which is founded the advo cacy of this simple, methn d fur the recovery of persons pparently drowned. Wie cannot but think as welt as hope that much human lift will be saved when Dr. M. Hall's method shall becopu more extensively known and adopted. 92j 2 97A 7 90 89 97 i 5131 1034 4 96 f 8)~ WI 9O 77i 7 13i 74 I ~f) 121 14 .12 ..

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. "MB TIMES" AND THE Mg f lcl'lNG 0? THE EMPERORS AT STUTTGARO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER. Sir,—An article appears in the Times of this morning, evidently written to order. This article refers to the proposed meeting of the despots Alebrander and Napoleon at Stu tgard. The Times gives the go-by to the real object of the meeting, and would fain make it appear, according to the new light which it has recently obtained as to tho views and character of Louis Napoleon, that the French Emperor has no other object thin to secur) the'reace (f Europe. I have just returned from Paris, and have heard the subject frequent lydiscussed, privately, of course, among liberal Frc-nclimen ; and with your permis sion, I will give you their unanimous opinion of the, objects of the propoFel meetin g . I shall trans late a conversation I had with a distinguished member of the late National Assembly, as his sentiments were those of a'l the others with whom I cOnverei "Louis Napoleon," said my friend, " detests your country and Englishmen, however much his policy may force him to pretend the contrary. Your free institutions and your great prosperity, resulting from those free institutions, are a stand• ing censure upon hts own Government, and the infamous means by which ha obtained his present Position. He perceives that as long as England maintains her liberty his own power is in peril ; for we all look to England as our model in self government, and are continually making c impa risons betwixt your state and ours. At the pr,— sent time Louis Napoleon is obliged to court the English Alliance, for he knows that just now a war with England would destroy him. He knows well that England has only to supply the malcontents in France with arms, and to lend the refugee Ge nerals and others the aid of your ships, in order to upset him, and this almost without striking a bl o w yourselves. He is now quite aware that be is detested by the great majority of the French people, at least by the great majority of the Parisians, and by every man of the slightest pre tension to education and liberality. " It is on this account that this accomplished hypocrite seeks the alliance of England at present, and professes the utmost attachment to your coun try, in the same way as he declared, when President, his love for the Republic, and that he would be the most dishonourable of men if he forgot his oath, and did anyth'ng to upset .a form of Government to which ho owed everything. All these declarations were made to gain time. But, as soon as the pear was ripe, he made his famous coup d'etat, ' and laughed to scorn his former professions. " Depend upon it' he reserves a coup d'etat for you, and this meeting with the Emperor of Russia is a preparation for it. He orders his organs, 'French and English, to declare that his only ob ject is to propose a general disarmament among the armies of Europe. This is all fudge. The large armament in France is not kept up for the defence of our frontiers. It is kept up for the protection, against the people, of the Emperor, who knows well that if the immense garrison of Paris were dis banded, he would not rem'iin a week on the throne. The real object of the interview betwixt the two despots is the promotion of another Holy Alliance, which Austria and Prussia will afterwards be in vited to join. This alliance will have for its object, by joint action, and by the mutual co-operation of each other's armies, to crush the least attempt on the part of the respective nations over which they rule to throw off the yoke of tyranny, or to obtain liberal institutions. When this alliance has besn once formed and firmly consolidated, then gale vous, Messieurs les Anglais. Our Emperor will then think himself sufficiently strong to throw off the mask and show himself iu his true colours He will take advantage of your Indian disasters, and every other disaster, and dictate, or attempt to dictate to you, under the joint name of the alliance of despots. He will issue his orders to you, as he has already done to Belgium, to alter your laws with respect to the press and the asylum given in England to political refugees. Or otherwise he will threa en you with invasion. " I don't believe he will ever attempt to add England to France. This would be too dangerous, and he recollects the fall of his uncle. He will confine himself to the attempt to force you to alter your institutions, so as to be more in con formity with those he has octroyed to France. And your Queen and Prince Albert will be invited to lend their co-operation. Your Sovereign will be told by the alliance of despots—' We do not wish to unseat you, quite the contrary. We only wish to improve your position and your dignity, and to make your Government more in unison with ours.' And perhaps, as is natural, such a proposition may find a responsive chord in the breasts of your Queen, of Prince Albert, and of a great part of your aristocracy." Such, sir, is a free translation of what was said to me by my friend iu'Paris, whose name, of course, I cannot mention, as this would expose him to persecution, perhaps to transporiat;on to .Guiana by the man of whom the Times has now I e,;ome the eulogist, but who, I can assure you, has the character of having been one of the most distin guished liberal and honest members of the list Republican Assembly. Reform Club, Sept. 25. J. A. THE BOLYWELL-STREET SEIZURES. Yesterday being the day appointed for the hearing of the summonses, at the Bow-street Police-court, against the persons at whose houses the seizure of obscene books, papers, engravings, &c., were mede on Tuesday la-t, Mr. Bodkin again attended for the Crown, and the whole of the property was produced by the police. Superintendent Durkin said he had ( onmined the whole of these productions, and found the greater por tion of them to be obscene. A few did not appear to be positively obscene, and some were in sealed packets, but with inscriptions leading to the inference that the con tents were obscene. The first summons called was one against Wm. Smith, of 52, Holywell-street, who did not appear, bet was re presented by counsel, who proposed to consent to the destruction of the articles. Mr. Bodkin observed that as it was possible that pro ceedings might be instituted against the defendant, and that some portions of the books, &c., might ba required as evidence against him, no doubt he would be glad to have the evidence destroyed. 0 the part of the Crown he (Mr. Bodkin) could not consent to that, but proposed the adjournment of the case till the Crown should decide whether further proceedings should be taken, and al-0 that the magistrate should have time to perform the pain ful but inevitable task of exmining theAe things. Mr. Jardine was afraid he should be compelled to do so, and as that would not be possible in the course of the sitting, he thought the adjournment was the only course. The defendant's counsel observed that there were two pictures in miniature cases among the articles seized. He understood that the gold mountings were worth 20 , . and upwards, and he considered it was a question whether condemning the picture the magistrate was to condemn the gold in which it is mounted. Mr. Bodkin: When the things are being destroyed the police will deface the indecent pictures, and return the cases and mountings to the defendant. After some further conversation, the case was ad- journed. In the next case, that of Charles Paul, 2, Holy well street, the defendant's solic't Tsai 1 : I have to ask your worship, with Mr. Bodkins consent, to adjlurn the case to the same date, and in the meantime to consider whether the article; come under the act. Mr. Bodkin—Why, that is the vtry imrpose of the adjournment. The Solicitor—l mean to say that that will be wy objection. I shall not contend that they are nut obscene. The case was accordingly adj The case of Mary Wilson, of 40, Wych-street, who did not appear to the surnm , m4, was also adjourned. In the case of James Thornhill, of 33, Holy well-street, Mr. Mitchell stated that there were a much smaller number of books, and those chiefly consisted of a book called "Aristotle's Masterpiece," in respect to which it might be questioned whether it was obscene. There were, however, some prints of undoubtedly obscene character. The same council appeared in this case, and said Oat the books, &c., seized were not for sale, being part of the stock left by a previous tenant. In this case, and that of Smith, he undertook that no books of the kind sh , uld be soli, and invited the surveillancs of the police. The two remaining cases, those of Mary Elliott, 14, Holywell-street, and Iteves, 40, Wych-street, were adjourned to the same date. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) COVENT GARDEN.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN TURKBY.—A correspondent has sent us a statement which tends to prove the good faith of the Turkish Government in carrying out the religious liberty guaranteed both to Christians and Ma. homedane. At Constantinople a Turk and his wife and child have been baptized by the American missionary, Dr. Hamelin, with the name of " Freeman." It appears that on the 3d inst. two officers of the Porte went to the office of Dr. Hamelin, after previous notice, to investigate the case of the Freemen family, converted from Mahomedanism to Christianity. Dr. Hamelin at first demurred, but a strict examination took place. The officers of the Porte ex ,mined Mr. Freeman. The object was to ascertain whether he bad been driven from Islamism to Chri.tianity by any trouble or supposed wrongs, but the answers were deemed satisfac tory by the Turkish authorities. Mrs. Freeman was then subjected to the same ordeal, after which it was arranged that the Turkish lady and her daughter should have an interview together. The result convinced Dr. Hamelin that there was no compulsion in the case, and the ceremony was therefore performed. The account adds, "It is the will of his Majesty our Sovereign, and it has become the established law of the empire, tbat every subject without any exception shall enjoy entire religious freedom. The Mussulman is now as free to become a Christian as the Christian is free to become Nrubsulman." Two days previously Dr. Hamelin mar ried a young Protestant Armenian to a Turkish lady who had been baptised in Malta. SUICIDE. —Yesterday an inquest wa s held at the HAY MARKETS.

AUSPRAIJAN The Australian let ters received yesterday by the - mail steamer Columbian give, on the whole, a satis• factory account of the markets both at Sydney'and Melbourne. Although they presented little anima tion they were not encumbered with the heavy stocks hitherto complained of. The escort receipts from the Victoria goldfields - for the first half of the present year had boen 4,417,823/. against 5,435,9361. in the corresponding eriod 1856, and the shipments 5,011,9201. against 6,352,204/. The resolution of the Government of Victoria to admit the Mint coinage of New South Wales as a legal tender would, it was thought, cause most of the English sovereigns in circuhtion to be gradually sent back to this county. On the question of the marine insurance on gcods consigned to Australia the Melbourne Journal of Commerce has the fol lowing remarks -- " Tae far greater port'on of the cargoes of the Lan dau ships lately arrived have been extensively damaged, and n 3 doul.,t the London underwriters will be very averse to write particular average on Melbourne insu rances, except at very exorbitant rates ; but the fad lies not with the merchants h3i e, who, it need scarcely be remarked, however well insured, are nearly alWays is more respects than one losers by sca-darnaged gOode • and we are sure that they. would but too gladly 1u: parties to some system of supervi3ien which would check the overlcadirg of vessels at home, and from which cause chiefly the damaged state of the cargoes arisen. Particu larly of late, since so much railway iron and mat e rial is carried, all the cargoes arrive mere or less damaged, as the tremendous weight put in strains the yes• . eels, and opens their seams, end allows the water : to came through like a riddle. If the London brokers will not be more careful in filling . ships up, par ties here will b 3 obliged to give instructions for- • bidding fine gcods to come in any vessel having railway plant and timber on board. The latter article we may remark is even more objectionable than iron, for if shipped in wet weather it always steams and damages fi:e goods through and through, without leaving any trages of salt water on the outside package, and there is always much difficulty in getting Ll ,yd's agent to certify properly, and Vie underwriters take bold of every possible advantage, if the certificate is not fully worded, to dispute payment. While oa this euti.je.ot, we have to call the attention of our readers to tae instructions sent lately by Lloyd's to their agent, which bind him not to: authorise a sale on underwriters' acconnt'of gords which are damaged by the labels being disfigurtd, or washed off by salt water ; and as it seems that fresh difficulties are daily started by the London underwriters in settl ing claims, it would be as well if some combinel action on the part of importers here were to put the whole matter on some settled and satisfactory basis." FACTORY INSPECTORS' REPORTS. The reports of the factory inspectors for the half year ending 30th April last are just issued as an Svo. blue-book. That of Mr. L. Horner is long. In the half-year he says the reports of the sub-in spectors mark by the letter R in at least four facto ries out of five ; and when that letter is omitted, • inmost cases the irregularities have not been of a - serious nature. Still, he believe, over-working prevails to a great extent. Still lese he adds, does It mean thet all reasonable precautions have been ' taken to prevent accidents from unfenced hori zontal shafts and other machinery. The example • f those who have taken precautions has 'been followed to a very limited extent. Then follow tabu lar statistics of accidents. Those from m tchiuery present a total of 905, of which, however, 554 are _ • described as "lacerations, contusions, and other in- • • juries," leaving only 351 more serious cases, of which only 12 proved fatal. Of these seven were caused by the bursting of a boiler, and three others e by falling down hoist wells. Three appear to have ' been caused by machinery proper, as a raising gig, ,he carriage of a self-acting mule, and a drum. Much space is occupied in discussing the inutility - if the fees paid to ct rtifying surgeons for reporting accidents, which has cost 8,801/. since 1844 ; and Mr. Horner firmly believes that in his district three fourths of that sum has been expended without any • good whatever. If any person in a factory makes ' a false step and sprains his ankle, so as to be unable to work next morning, the accident must be re- ' ported. The millowner, under the penalty of pro- ' secution and fine, must report such accident ; and " the formidable numerical array of accidents which the inspectors are bound to report every half-year gives a most exaggerated and false idea of danger 1 from factory employment, and creates a mischievous -' prejudice in the public mind against it." Mr. Her- - leer would still require all accidents from machinery ; to be reported. The report next shows how 20 grants, in the aggregate amounting to 2051. (vary- • from 5/. to 20/. each), have been distributed to schools attended by factory children." The education clauses of the Factory Acts, end • whit is called the half-time system, occupy 15 pages of the report. It has been confidently and re- ' peatedly stated that this long tried experiment has proved a failure ; but Mr. Horner states that in his district (which has more factory children than any other), this statement is to a great degree errone ous. He admits, that a , lare e proportion of the • children holding school certificates have received instririon alone of is y to blame value;b in passing utforthis a d h e set legislature law, requiring factory children to be edticated, but proVidiug no more than that child ren s h ou ld b e f or so many hours daily within the four walls of a place called a school, and that a weekly certifica'e to that effect should be given to the employer, signed by a parson designated schoolmaster or •: schoolmistress. Nut a word is said as to the nature er quality of the instruction—that of. an infant school is deemed sufficient for the certificate. • The result is overcrowded schools, incompetent teachers, and, if not untaught, only half-taught children. 4 . Mr. Horner's remedy would be to multiply good . schools, and thereby iesetinguish mock schools. In April last he sent four queries, as to•pupil teachers, ' to the masters of some of the best factory schools in his districts, and the replies, which occupy six pages, are interesting, and bear out his conclusions. ' Most of the pupil teachers had previously been half • timers, and thus received the whole of the instruc tion qualifying them to be teachers. They learn generally as quickly as those attending school the whole day, and some of them have gained Queen's • scholarships, first-class cart ficates, and have been , appointed second and oven principal masters of .• good schools. Mr. J. A. Nicholls, in answering • the queries as to the Brit.sh School, Great Ancoats street, Manchester. adds : " I have no hesitation iu stating my opinion that the factory short t him system is the most favourable to the extension of education among the children of ' he working classes of any scheme yet devised ; and' . I am satisfied from my own experience that the ' progress of the children, on account of the rega laxity of their attendance, is as great, if it does not exceed, the progress of those who attend the whole day with the avenge regularity of national school' children. I wish the sys•em may be extended to' every empl yrnent in which children are engaged. There is very often a diffinety to find boys who' might become canciitlafes for the situation of pupil' teachers, whose parents will, or, in faCt, can afford' to let them work a whole year without wages,• which, after all, may not be paid should the boy be unsuccessful at his-examination. This is the great difficulty of the system.; and, therefore, I have had to get boys whose parents are better off, and are able to maintain them through all contingencies." • Altogether the evidence is s`rongly in favour of. the half-time system. Mr. Horner cites from a paper read beiore the Glasgow Philo •ophical Society, in , March last, by Mr. G Anderson (partner in a large flax factory there), the declaration that " The half time system established l,y the factory acts, consi dered as an educational measure, is a complete failure." Mt. Horner shows that whilst in the whole ofLanarkshire, in 82 cotton, woollen, worsted, and flax factories there were only 238 children, there were 308iu four cotton mills in Ashton-under-Lyne; so that this county, and not the neighbourhood of Glasgow, is the district for judging as to whether half-time is or is not a failure. In four months, of 1,104 factories inspected in this district, employ ing 21,554 children, only three millowners we. proceeded against for neglect ng to have certificates of school attendance. " Many millowners who now employ children have found out that they had been long needlessly subjecting themselves to inconve nience, from these mistaken apprehensions, and bad deprived themselves of the advantage of having,- trained instead of untutored piercers of 13 yeas of age." Mr. Horner next , gives his reasons Tor objecting to Mr. Anderson's suggestion of au edu cational certificate and an inspecting schoolmaster. some theclose In this district there ha s b een a gra dual increase for largest concerns, which em no ployed no child ren under 13 till time in of 1 principle of combini n g regular atten dance at school with wages yi e ldi ng 0 " employment is valuable and 11 13 , I f v h e a 1 m f v t o i t i e n r g ,• one of the The a 224. important, that it would be well if a careful inquiry were instituted to ascertain under whet. modificae tions it could be applied to other employments bo- Spottiswoode, the Queen's printer, of the , system sides that in factories." l a n ln il i l lg ust s r t a a t t i sa o m n, e l n lr Hor nerb.ymr gives in an appendix. ofladopted ri e t d in their seeing a es b ta ia le n li k sheiat certifi cate of school attend ance for the fore g one week,: Mr. Horner asked some of the children the cause„of near boys aodl their absence, and the ans wer w a s " th e Master was drunk."
