Let us now come to the evidence how they ou g ht to comment is, a hotbed of ignorance, immorality, and in - fidelity. 'rom California, and diffused over the whole world, 1 which day she will sail from New York, and it is I adduced to dispr o ve the char g es o f want of temper, want fear of the Lord was the bcgi TIE quantity of gold now pouring into all the markets of the world, and the apparently inex haustible sources of its supply, call for the most serious attention of men engaged in monetary affairs, and in general merchandise ; indeed, of all persons of every class. It is coming from the east and from the west, and in a bulk that, a short time ago, would be regarded as fabulous. One lump is on its way from Australia, one hundred pounds in weight, and of the value of £5,000; and from present indications, and judging from present information, we may fairly conclude that not only many such will follow, but that the mines in that vast auriferous region will furnish -the metal in extraordinary abundance. From California the supply, far from diminishing, is largely increasing, and when the great quartz-crushing adventurers with efficient machinery, now in progress, shall come into full operation, the quantity from thence Will, in all probability, be enormous. We may form some idea of what will come from the receipts of the current year. According to the best accounts to be obtained, the gold received from California in all the Atlantic ports during the first ten months of the present year, ersding the Ist of November, have amounted to above eight millions sterling, of which Comparatively little remained in America, almost the whole having been sent forward to the great Money markets of Europe. The question, what influence will these unprecedented supplies of the precious metal, heretofore held as the standard of value, have upon the monetary affairs of the world, upon the relative value of gold and silver, and upon the exchangeable value of all commodities, is now becoming an all-absorbing one, which, however, it is very difficult to solve satisfactorily. Up to the present, the thirty millions or more of gold obtained from California, and diffused over the whole world, has had little effect upon general prices throughout Europe, and hardly any in England, while in Ame rica the discovery of the new mines has stimulated commercial enterprise by the extension of steam navigation, railroads,-and other means for the tran sit of men and merchandize. Thus experience has Shown that the relative value of gold and silver, and the general'financial arrangements of the world, have not been much disturbed by the amount of bullion already acquired from California. The demand for silver, and its consequent enhancement, which Sprung up a short time ago, has almost subsided, and the two precious metals have returned to nearly the same relation to each other which they held before the late discovery.; and it has been decided by competent authorities that even this temporary disturbance of the relative value of gold and silver Was not the result of a large and sudden influx of gold, but of other and very different causes. It should be noted, too, that the production of silver has, under the influence of .a rise in price, been sti mulated, and that there is every reason to believe that, both from'California,.Mexico, and other parts of America, the supply will in future be larger than before, and that the relative value of the two precious metals will thus-so far be pretty evenly maintained. But the new stream of gold from Australia, in ad dition to the former one from California, which May be expected toincrease largely, may, and we are inclined to think will, have very important effects upon the relative value of commodities in general, and may operate upon fundholders and other per- Sons having fixed means, and upon all descriptions of debtors and creditors in a manner that would work great injustice and loss to some, with, of course, gain to others. When the new world, with its treasures, was first discovered, such was the effect produced, and we can see no reason why similar effects, though in a much mitigated form, may not be the result of the prodigious quan tities of gold about to arrive from the east and the 'West. At all events, it behoves commercial men 'especially to consider well this subject. A plethora . 0 f bullion generally . stimulates enterpriseand trading activity, and it too frequently induces extravagant qeculations. We may probably see, ere long, an extraordinary rush of business, and an apparent Prosperity, but, with the dangers of a disturbance such as we have indicated, created by an immense influx of gold, we advise the trading public to be ware, and to act with more than usual caution and Circumspection. Tux GORDIAN KNOMF FRENCH INTRIGUE CUT WITHOUT THE SWORD. EVERYTHING visible on the surface of affairs in France indicates a peaceable solution of the diffi culties that lately surrounded the rival executive and legislative powers. The demand of the Rues tors of the Assembly, which was a bl ow a i me d a t the President's prerogative, has been rejected, after a stormy debate, by .a majority of 108. This triumph 43 f the government over the coalesced forces of the apposition was a fortunate event ; for it is quite certain that Louis Napoleon would not have parted with the power given him by the constitution with out a fierce struggle. By this vote all imminent danger of a conflict is removed; and until the broken bands of the various factions in the Assem bly finci some bond of union, which at present can lint even be guessed at, the President and his o vernraent may go on quietly. Louis Napoleon has Proved himself to be a skilful political general, for he has separated the Conservative and Democratic Parties opposed to him ; and now, one or the Ot her must come over to his side. Either the C onservatives must join him, and support his pre tensions to the presidency, or the Republicans l 'aost aid him against the old majority, as the °TI IY means of preventing the overthrow of the republic, and the establishment of an empire. In ; act the ma j or ity o f the Assembly are only waiting le (le /some decent pretext to go over to Louis Napo t," in order that they may be protected against ." Sociali s t s . I n th e meantime the President rritinues to review the troops and to ingratiate nllnself with them.

If they talk of reclaiming their bogs, they must fill their heads with the notion that the land to be recovered will be fatter than the richest eluvial soil of the New Continent. If they project chymical experiments on their turf, they must de lude themselves with the anticipation that they are about to supersede all the tallow, wax, and sperm trade in the universe; and to illuminate Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, with Irish peat candles of surpassing brilliancy, durability, and cheapness. They are not content to contemplate their little island as a comfortable well-doing portion of the British Empire, hut they must fancy it " the first flower of the earth, and the first gem of the sea," nothing smaller and nothing less. The project of a transatlantic steam communication between Gal way and New York was undoubtedly a very rational and legitimate one, if conceived in a mode rate spirit. But its first propounders thought of nothing less astonishing than the utter demolition of Liverpool, Bristol, and the other western ports of Great Britain, and the erection of Galway into the one grand receptacle for all the passengers and all the trade traversing between the new and the old worlds. The idea was preposterous, and so it was laughed at, and in time abandoned. But a clear-sighted American, one of the Anglo-Saxon race, has revived it in part, adopting that portion which was reasonable and practicable, that is, the 'establishment of a regular cheap line of steam communication between Galway and New York, and rejecting that which was extravagant and visionary. Mr. Wagstaff, the gentleman to whom we allude, has determined upon placing steamers on this line. He has visited 'Galway, seen that the harbour is good for the purpose, -and, being a person of activity and energy, he has set about putting into execution that which Irishmen talked of, but did not do. "One of Mr. Wagstaff's -steamers is, we understand, already built, and will commence running on the 1 - sth of December, on which day she will sail from New York, and it is 'hoped will arrive at Galway in eight days. Parti cular attention will be paid by Mr. Wagstaff to the accommodation of emigrants, and peculiar advan tages will be offered to induce that class to use this system of transit. That this gentleman is in earnest, and that he is to be relied on as a trust worthy and respectable person, is abundantly estab lished by letters from the acting representative of the United States in this country—Mr. Abbott 'Lawrence—letters which are not merely credentials of Mr. Wagstaff's respectability, hut official decla rations of the deep interest which the United States take in the due execution of the enterprise. Mr. A. Lawrence has pledged himself to forward imme diately all the reports and charts of the Irish har bours which he possesses to his government in New York ; and likewise to send, in a few days, duplicates of the same to Boston. We have no doubt that a regular line of steam communication between Galway and New York will now be estab lished, and that it will prove most beneficial to Ireland, as well as profitable to the proprietors ; but we think this will be accomplished without making Galway the entrep6t cf the world, and without destroying the old western ports of Great Britain. FRATRICIDE in LIVE UPOOL, YESTERDAY, A deplorable occurrence took place yesterday morning in Clive•street, Toxteth-park, being a repetition of the fatal -sin of the first two brothers. A young man, eighteen years of age, named William 'Blunt, was stabbed by his brother, Joshua Blunt—an elder brother, and by trade s blacksmith—in the house of their mother, a widow residing in the street already named. It appears that William, who is married, resides with his wife in another part of the town, and was in the frequent habit of going to his mother's house and assuming an authoritative com mand over his younger brothers. This led to frequent bickerings and quarrelling ; and yesterday morning, On William calling at the house. some angry words took place between him and his brother Joshua relative to the expen diture of a 'shilling. Joshua, who is a shoemaker, was at the time busied with his work at his stall, and in the heat of passion, arising from the provocation received by his brother, he seized one of his knives, sprang from his seat, and plunged the weapon into the heart of his brother, who dropped a corpse at his feet.—Police-iuspector Boyd was called in, and the unfortunate but irritated slayer of his brother was taken to the main bridcwell, where be now lies, manifesting the greatest remorse. To-morrow the case will be taken before the borough coroner, and subse quently before the police magistrates. ANNUAL SERMONS FOR THE LOCAL CHARITIES.— On Sunday, the annual sermons were preached in many of the churches of Liverpool and neighbourhood for the support of several of our local charities. The collection at St. Mark's amounted to £59 17s. ; at St. SAviour's, £3O 13s. 6d.; and at St. Michael's, Toxteth-park, £25 109. The Cork Examiner states that a few evenings past a most diabolical attempt was made to set fire to Killarney workhouse, combustible materials baring been found in various parts of the buildings. In the Sheriff's Court, London, on Thursday, damages to the amount of £5O was awarded against Count Revent low, the late Danish Ambassador, for turning his cook, Ann Harrison, out of doors on a cold rainy night with out adequate cause. The Courrier de l'lnde sailed from Havre on Thursday, for San Francisco, having on board a number of emigrants, men, women, and children, bound for California. Some of them are being sent out at the expense of the state, and others from the proceeds of the Lin got lottery.—Galignani. The Judicial Committee of her Majesty's most Honour able Privy Council will commence their sittings to-morrow, Wednesday, at the Privy Council-office, for the purpose of hearing appeals from the colonies and the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts.— Observer. Judgment is to be given this day in the long pending case, brought by the Stamp-office against " Dickens' Household Narrative." From a correspondence between W. Williams, Esq., M.P., and the Attorney-General, the cause of delay has arisen from a difference of opinion among the judges, The King's Royal Irish Regiment of Light Dragoons (Hussars), at present stationed at Hounslow, under the command of Lieutenant George Frederick Shewell, are said in military circles to be under orders to hold them selves in readiness to embark for foreign service at the Cape of Good Hope. This gallant corps returned from foreign 1823, and th e 17th L ancers i n the eamem o se n r t s h ic o e in of th e same year. a The papers talk of an English girl now performing at Trieste, destined (they say) one of these days to become the rival of Lind and Gri Vii. Her real name isAitcheson, mentioned was that of Mr. Clement, the proprietor of The Observer, who, in defiance of the direct prohibition of the court, had published a report of the trial of Thistle wood and Ings for high treason. This was a plain, tangible, and contemptuous disobedience of an order of court, and was, therefore, clearly and properly punish able ; but what had this to do with the charge against Mr. Ramshay ? Absolutely nothing, for it did not add a hair's weight to the argument that h- had done right in committing without a warrant, for an offence doubtful as to construction, and if punishable, only punish able by the mode pointed out by the County Court Act, which was not adopted. So much for the legality of Mr. Ramshay's proceeding. Let us now come to the evidence adduced to disprove the charges of want of temper, we of dignity, and want of calmness; the latter a quality so essentially requisite in a judge. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins is fond of introducing anecdotes, and we may mention one which strongly illustrates the character of the evidence given by his witnesses. A man was charged by a butcher with stealing a piece of beef. Two witnesses were called. who swore t hat they saw the prisoner steal the beef. "Oh !" says the latter, " if that be all you have to convict by, its all right. These two witnesses swear they saw me steal the beef, but I might bring you twenty who could swear that they did not see me steal it." So with the witnesses for the defence. Some of them stated that they had seen Mr. Ramshay behave with great courtesy and propriety, and with great kindness to poor suitors. No doubt they did ; but they were not present when his conduct was said to he the very opposite. How, then, does their negative disprove the positive evidence of those who spoke to his harshness, his violence, his highly-strained notions of his own dignity, and to the facts upon which the memorialists founded the charge of illegality? To be sure there was a tailor ; perhaps "one of the three tailors of Tooley-street," to whom Mr. Sergeant Wilkins made allusion ; and this magniloquent cutter-up of " uncon sidered trifles," wrapped in a plaid, with theatrical air and gesture, favoured the court with his opinion that Mr. Ram -shay was " the very personification of justice, and that lie -was blind to every thing but justice." Be it so. Justice -may be blind, and blind sometimes to the merits of the case. We throw in the tailor, however, but still we say that this appeal from the bar to the board does not serve the end of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, or help Mr. Ramshay out of the dilemma. The opinion of the tailor is in the same category as the evidence of many of the other wit nesses. It does not disprove the allegation of acts, and tares, and demeanour unfitted to the judicial bench testimony In our opinion, one of the gravest charges against Mr. Ramshay was, that he had invited a person to bring an action, by almost promising him a verdict. It does seem so contrary to every notion of impartial justice, for a judge to hold out a particular result to a suitor, that we had hoped to see such an imputation clearly and deci sively removed. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins said he should disprove the assertion, but he did not do so. Having disposed of the law of Mr. sergeant Wilkins, and analysed his facts—if facts they can be called—we need only refer to his behaviour to the witnesses on the other side. 'These, without an exception, were taunted, abused, and reviled. However, as many of them are known to be men of the highest respectability, and whose private character is universally esteemed, it is not neces sal., for us to defend them from such random and reedess attacks. And as for the sergeant's diatribes against the Press, they form but a sample of the same taste and judgment which urged him to parade tears, sobs, and sighs, and to conclude his oratorical display with an appeal to God and to every thing in heaven or earth. The Press has made Mr. Sergeant Wilkins what he is. It is hard, perhaps, that he should kick down the ladder by -which he has risen to eminence ; but the fourth estate will outlive the onslaught. Without Sergeant Wilkins, the Press would, perchance, have been where it is, but where would Sergeant Wilkins have been without the Press? Echo answers where? " Look on this picture, and on this," said Sergeant Wilkins, when contrasting the case of the memorialists with that of Mr. Ranashay. So say we, while we compare the course adopted by the learned sergeant with that pursued by Mr. Monk, who did not occupy three days in torturing the law, in trying to make the " worse appear the better reason," in hashing up stale jokes, which " made fools laugh, and the judicious grieve ;" but he temperately, moderately, and fairly applied himself to the simple facts at issue, and commented upon the evidence of the witnesses, and the character of those witnesses. For ourselves, we repeat that we give no opinion as to what the Chancellor's decision ought to be. Our remarks THE ROYAL INSTITUTION AND THE CORPORATION. Those of the public who take any interest in the lite rary institutions of the town, do not require to be told that a collection, in some respects one of the most interesting in the kingdom, exists at our own Royal Institution, in Colquitt-street. It is mainly a natural history one, but there are many very beautiful pieces of machinery, anti quities, curiosities, &c. ; and the collection of paintings laid out in a separate building could scarcely be matched as illustrative of an early condition of art. Notwith standing the prudence and economy which the committee always exercised, they found that the resources at their command were inadequate to secure the continual acces sion of new and valuable objects, which their own taste and information suggested as desirable. In these circum- stances, they offered their whole property !the schools only being reserved) to the town, on the sole condition that the town should afford this permanent support, and that the representatives of the present proprietors should have a joint voice in the government. It is enough, and more than enough, to say that the Corporation at first accepted this proposal, but that when it came before them a second time they did not confirm their previous vote. Lord Derby's bequest of skins, stuffed and unstuffed, to the number of some thousands, reopened the subject ; for it was naturally supposed that the conditions of trusteeship, which should be satisfactory to the present earl, might suggest similar conditions in the case of the Royal Institution. The negociations are still open ; the two bodies are still considering each other's proposals; and it is in these circumstances that parties like ourselves, possessing no pecuniary, hut a large moral interest in the matter, feel deeply desirous to see the whole matter reach are intended merely as a commentary on the case as presented and supported by the advocates on either side. We have never attempted to " hound on" any class agcinst Mr. Itamshay, and we shall not begin to do so now. We believe Mr. Ramshay to be a gentleman, a scholar, and a most amiable man in private life. It is for others to say whether he ought or ought not to continue to be a judge. It may be that Lord Carlisle will resolve the question in the affirmative, or be may feel bound to l feelings, and say to Mr. a favourable issue aut. she goes ny sue imam rwrit tre guerre or Alb er ti n i. She has been singing at Rome and Florence with a success which promises the highest things. We have been accus tomed to hear some such prognostications of every new debutante. Still, some day or other, a great songstress ought to turn up, and why not Miss Aitcheson ? A new star by this time is due to the musical world by The doctrine of chance. Referring to the Kossuth oration at Manchester, last the Sheffield Timex remarks—" Mr. Bright's speech was chiefly remarkable for an injudiciously worded attack on the London Times, the writers of which Mr. Bright denounced for 'writing to order,' using 'concealed anonymous pens,' and receiving five guineas a column. As to the two first charges, if they are true, they are no more true of the Times than of any other paper ; and as to the third, Mr. Bright, we suppose, takes as much se he can get for hie yarns and carpets inor, if all accounts be true, has he always refused to wield for his own purposes a "concealed anonymous pea." The anonymity of the English press is in some respects a disadvantage, but the persons who have chief reason to complain of it are the writers themselves, many of them possessed of much greater ability and information than most public men, and yet condemned to obscurity, while persoe Ms, Mr. bright are famous," On the one band, the members of the Town Council should be forbearing, and should remember that the provocation came from them. To adopt the expression of Sir Boyle Roach, they " turned their backs upon th:lnselves ;" and without questioning for a moment that they did so conscientiously, they gave offence and annoy ance to men in every respect as intelligent and respectable as themselves. We all -• nacity with which hard-headed or narrow-minded indi viduals cling to their own crotchets, when of the most trifling importance; and it is not every day that a respectable Corporation of thirty years' standing volun teers to merge its existence in that of another Corporation. The members of the Town Council, therefore, should not break off the negociations, nor hastily despair of an amicable termination ; for though they are the stronger party, the provocation came from them. On the other hand, the committee of the Royal Insti tution must see that the idea of ajoint management will no longer be entertained ; and therefore, if they be really desirous to come to terms, no allusion should be made to this. Every hour's delay strengthens the position of the Town Council, and tends to supersede the Royal Institu tion. Already a library and museum may be said to exist; and the public will not be satisfied that they exist on a small scale. In a few years they will eclipse anything that the town has yet known ; and if the transfer of the Royal Institution be deferred till then, its committee must accept without murmur such terms as are offered. That it will yet become the property of the town, even those who are most stringent respecting conditions seem to admit ; but upon the present committee it rests, in a great degree, whether their transfer shall be a valuable boon gracefully conferred, or an act of moral necessity, and of little value. discard all private a Rtimsbay, in the words of Othello, " Cassie., I love thee, but never more be servant of mine, SERGEANT WILKINS AND THE PRESS. Should the decision, however, be adverse to Mr. Ham shay, wo cannot help thinking that if the case of the memorialists admitted of a doubt in Mr. Ram y favour, his advocate helped to turn the scale against him.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Stn,—Without giving any opinion about the affair of Mr. Ramshay, permit me to mention a matter of fact relating to his advocate Sergeant Wilkins. Some of your contemporaries who lately carried their praise of the Sergeant to a length that, in my opinion, was fulsome, attack him now with great violence, insinuating, amongst other thinks, that it was remarkable for a counsel in great practice to quit town i❑ term. Now, to my certain know. ledge, Sergeant Wilkins gave back a score of briefs to go down to Preston on Mr. Ramshay's behalf; and the sneer about " hobbies" is quite pointless, for the quality of standing to the last by a client is only too rare at the bar. No notoriety attached to the case of Mr. Ramshay could add to the oratorical reputation of the advocate who delivered the speech on the trial of Barber, in 1844 ; the speech in the case of the Hounslow flogging, and many a hundred others well known both in town and in the north. I enclose my card for your satisfaction. B. C.

It is rumoured that an accident of a very serious nature has taken place on the Florence road, a carriage full of travellers having been swept away by a torrent over which they were attempting to pass by the bridge, which gave way under the weight of :he coach and the impetus of the water. THE STATUTES OF THURLES.—There is at last an im mediate prospect of the thunders of the Vatican against the system of mixed education in Ireland being resounded frotn every altar in the kingdom. The Tablet of Saturday believes that the statutes of Thurles are in the course of On the 29th of last month the first stone was laid of the new Protestant chapel at Turin, with the assistance of Mr. Lantaret, and in tho presence of Sir Ralph Aber. cromby, her Britannic Majesty's Ambsssador ; Count Redern, Prussian Minister ; Mr. Kinney.

Is any disappointment anticipated, or it is that his holiness has not. gone far enough for the bigots ANNIVERSARY OF THE LIVERPOOL RAGGED SCHOOL UNION The fourth anniversary meeting of this truly Christian and charitable Association took place last evening, - in the Lecture-hall of the Collegiate Institution. The Chair was occupied by Thomas Berry Horsfall, Esq., and amongst the gentlemen present on the platform we noticed the Revds. W. W. Ewbank e .W. M. FaDoan, 11. 11. Higgins, J. 11. Jones, W. B. S. Matthias, M. Tay lor, W7l Wright, V. M. White, Dr. Hume, C. M. Binell ; Samuel Holme. Esq., Edwd. Heath, Esq , Chris. topher Bushell, Esq., James Burt, Esq., Secretary, A. S. Ritchie, Esq., Treasurer. The attendance, we regret to say, although numerous, was not half so great as the im portance of the subject of the meeting demanded. The meeting having been opened with prayer, The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, observed that the society was for the purpose of promoting the es tablishment of ragged schools, an object of great and in creasing interest, and he rejoiced to say that the attention was being attracted to the subject which its importance demanded. He held in his hand an address recently de livered in Liverpool by a valuable and excellent member of the Ragged School Union, from which they learned that at present there were twenty-five ragged schools in Liverpool, and in these schools, in the course of the year, about 3.000 children were receiving what may be termed a partial education. These schools were supported by voluntary subscriptions, and he regretted, on some account, that it was so ; not that he would check the flaw of Christian benevolence, but, he should like to see the government of the country recognising the importance of these schools. They had schools for almost every class of society. Even in that building they had upper, lower, and middle schools connected with the various churches and chapels in the town. But what they wanted was schools for that class which, of all others, had a claim, not only on Christian sympathy, but on Christian good . They wanted schools for the most helpless, the most destitute, the most degraded of their population.— (Laud applause.) This union did not profess to support any school in particular, but went on the general principle of supporting the whole 25 schools, accord ing to their respective states of need. If there were any present who might question the extent of the state of ignorance which existed amongst the class of children to whom he alluded, lie would ask them to read the accounts given by the weekly and daily press. Since he had been asked to preside at that meeting, he had taken up the London Times, and had found therein a statement suffi cient to arouse to action the mind of every Christian roan. A youth had been called upon to give evidence in a most important case, one involving nothing less than a charge of murder. His name was given Edward Bolton, who stated that he was seventeen years of age, and lived with I" e - 4 s. The pre "ee magistrate question,' him as to his knowledge of, and the responsibilities attach able to, an oath, when the young man evinced the most deplorable ignorance :—he could not tell where God was; could not tell where people went who led a wicked ; and had never heard of the devil. tie (the chairman) had had placed in his hand a paper containing a little information as to the destitution, ignorance, and vice of some portion of the town of Liverpool. This document asserted that there were thousands of nominal christians who had never been in either church or chapel since their baptism ; thousands had never seen a catechism,—had never read a chapter in the scriptures, never uttered any form of prayer, nor knew not what to call themselves ; but he (the Chairman) thought the most appropriate title would be, heathens in a Christian country. (Hear, hear, hear.) In every one of these schools the Word of God was made the basis of education, (hear, hear,) and if this was not so, he would not stand there to advocate their support and spread—(hear, hear ;)—for the longer he lived, the more he was convinced that all other education was comparatively worthless. (Approbation.) 1k fearlessly maintained that either the individuals or the society which began the dissemination of secular educa- tion apart from religious instruction would he disap pointed in the end and aim they had in view ; for there was a higher authority than they, who told them how they ought to commence, who had said that the fear of the Lord was the beginning of wisdom. (Hear, hear.) lie did think that the committee and the community, for their duties were onerous anc xearisome, filmed period. (Hear, hear.) The SECRETARY then read the report, which will be found in our seventh page. The Rev. W. M. FALLOON came forward to move the first resolution, and in doing so observed that they were cngaaed in a work of great practical mercy, a work which was good in object, and good in its results, and only at the great day of final judgment would it be known what the extent of those resu'ts were. They naturally ex pected to meet with great difficulties, but at the same time looked to great encouragement resulting from the work in which they were engaged. They had found both, but they thanked God for the past, and took courage for the future. The resolution which he had to propose was as follows : "'That this meeting desires to return thanks to God, the source of all grace, for the measure of success which lie been pleased to vouchsafe tc) the society during the past year, and recommends that the report now read be adopted and cir. culated under the direction of the committee." r In all their Ragged Schools, he rejoiced to say, religious instruction was given from the Bible. These institutions had led them into the very depths of degraded society—into those awful regions which could be compared to nothing so appropriately as the raising of a flag covering a sewer, and which, on being removed, exhibited a mass of filth, corruption, and stagnation. Their experience had tanizht them what kind of characters the parents of these miserable children were. One of the leading causes of the evil and misery which they had become acquainted with was that of drunkenness. And yet, notwithstanding all the sin, and misery, and disease, and every species of evil which this monster vice entailed, the gin-shops still went on increasing in number. After further appropriate remarks, tl:e rev. gentleman recommended the resolution to the meeting, attd resumed his seat amidst applause. Mr. SAMUeL lioLmn seconded the resolution. After the call of the committee at the last anniversar sequence of a sudden call to the metropolis, he said he was then there to redeem his pledge, and to stand forward as the advocate of ragged schools. (Hear, 'Moon aunt,. .Inoa .41 evn were needed, and it became not a. , y man to shrink from the performance of a public duty.

There were many matters upon which men of different opinions could not act together; but if an enemy landed upon our shores, we should all rush into a general mass, and put shoulder to shoulder to repel the invasion. (Hear, hear.) If a contagious disease visited us, we should not ask any man's particu lar sentiments upon certain points, or inquire what were our divorsities Of opinion, but we should core operate to provide an antidote. Alas ! an enemy of a fear ful character had effected a lodgment, and was firmly entrenched amongst it. A disease of a contagious cha racter tainted our moral atmosphere, and unless it was checked by a moral antidote, it would cause putrefaction, and become still wider spread. To drop metaphor, let them look at the actual state of society in some parts of of this town. Many thousands of our populationwere sunk into most deplorable ignorance and vice, herding together more like brute beasts than human beings, and existing in the depths of filth and depravity. They never opened a book—for many of them could not read. '1 lieu never t thn nori pollute his holy name by curses and imprecations. The dram shop was their temple,—debauchery was the idol they worshipped.—and when foul diseases swept them away they passed into eternity like the beasts that perished, unconscious or careless of their own immortality. Their children became vagahonds, and begged and stole their bread. These infested our markets and public resorts, first, perhaps, to satisfy the craving of hunger; but they ultimately grew up to be dexterous thieves. The magistrates knew not how to dispose of these lost and neglected creatures, who were destitute of shame, who knew nothing of , moral responsibility, and who at last became callous of punishment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. liolme then read a touching extract from a work of Ciirlcs Lamb, on le poor, in the land . • of England,—the land of Bibles,—a land studded with benevolent institutions, and whose commercial enterprise gave a pulsation which was felt throughout the world. Let any one go into Vauxhall-road, and traverse the cross streets and alleys of that fearful artery of the town, and any description which they could give would fall far short of the dreadful reallty which they would witness. He himself had seen here, as well as in other districts, drunkenness in its most fearful forms; there sere here like the lowest animals. But the veil in a public as sembly must be drawn over these disgusting exhibitions, and if any remained sceptical on this matter let them go into these districts and they would see tha which would appal every mind. The local I had been attempting to improve the cond►t .gislature of ti poor, and in this I;,:ay had . done much by and giving to them a more abundant supply of water ; but unless the efforts of the council were seconded by associations like the one which they were then advocating, those efforts must prove abortive. The physical im provement of the people was to be blended with the moral. Why did we need juvenile reformatories, if Christianity had done its duty ? We were usually ex tremely sensitive when our pockets were affected, and yet we were erecting a new gaol at a cost of £150,000, the occupants of which were the miserable oljects of which they were speaking. Mr. 11. then read an extract from a paper drawn up by the late Mr. Rushton, showing that in prosecuting fourteen children the borough had been put to a cost of 1:8S9. How much would this have done towards giving those children Scriptural instruc • ragged schools ? Mr. tiolme then, at great length, con. tinued to argue in favour of ragged behooli, and con. eluded by seconding the resolution. Moved by the Rev. Mr. BIRRIELL, tecondial by A.
