OHN :INCLAIIt., Secretary. To the Right Hon. Lord Ashley, M.Y.- AN APPEAL IN BEHALF OF THE NATIONAL SOCIETY TO THE FRIENDS AND PROMOTERS OF SOUND CHRISTIAN EDUCATION THROUGHOUT ENGLAND AND WALES. The National' Society has now for upwards of 27 years carried on, unobtrusively, but laboriously, and, it is believed, effectually, the great work of promoting the education of the poor in the principles of the Established Church. By its charter of incorporation the society includes in its committee of management, besides a stated number of temporal peers and Privy Councillors, the whole of the right rev. bench, and has thus been enabled to exercise a beneficial influence over every diocese and district in the kingdom. For many years the ,resources of the society arose entirely from the vo luntary contributions of individuals who had at heart the instruction of the young in the principles and practice of genuine Protestant Christianity. The contributions to its funds were by no means in proportion to the magnitude of the object to be effected; but-so judiciously were they hus banded and expended, that in the year 1833, nearly half a million of.children were receiving education under the super intendence of our parochial clergy in schools connected with this truly Christian and patriotic association. In that year the society for the first time received assistance in its benevolent labours from the public Treasury. The sum of £20,000 was voted by parliament for the purpose of education, no part of which was ever appropriated to the National Society itself, though a considerable proportion was set apart for schools recommended by the society to the Lords of the Treasury. The conditions required by their lordships were, that the tenure of the site should be secure; that the edifice should be suitable as well as substantial ; and that reports npon the state of education should, on being called for, be presented to government. Their lordships confined themselves to these equitable and well-advised requirements, because they gave no aid to the maintenance of the school, but only assisted in its first erection ; and assisted only at the rate of 10s. per head for every space of six square feet allotted to each child. Their lordships acted upon the principle, that the managers of the school, by whom four-fifths of the cost of the building were paid, and the entire maintenance of the schgol was de frayed, were entitled to the privilege of deciding as to the qualifications of the teachers, and the system of instruction to be pursued. Their zeal in the cause of popular education ; their rank in society, as belonging to the middle and more educated classes ; and, in someinstances, their station in the , church, entitled them, it was conceived, to this moderate ex ercise of confidence on the part of the public. Any inspecs tion of the school, to ascertain how the parochial clergyman was discharging his duty to the younger members of his flock, was left to his ecclesiastical superiors. , The foregoing arrangement for the diaribution of,the na tional bounty continued in operation for the space of five years. The amount was not large, or rather, indeed, was trivial, in comparison with the magnitude and importance of the national object to be attained ; and, indeed, the method of distrPeution was not free' front serious objections; yet the plan encountered rio resistance from. the Church, and was ac quiesced in by the community at large. A new impulse was given to the progress of education, and an expectation raised, and-gradually confirmed, in the minds of its supporters, that the parliamentary bounty will continue to flow—and, per haps, even More copiously—in its accustomed channel. No suspicion arose, or could in candour be expected to arise, that the ordinary annual gift would be all at once encumbered with new conditions. The year 1839, however, has brought an unforseen change. During the last sessidn the sum of 4:30,000 has been voted for educational purposes ; not, as before, with the full con currence of both Houses of Parliament, but by the lower - house alone, contrary to the declared wishes and solemn re monstrances of the upper. A Central board, consisting of four privy councillors, all of them laymen, to the marked exclusion of the spiritual members, has been for the first tune established, and to their discretion has been committed the distribution of the grant. In exercising this discretionary - power,. the board thus constituted were unhappily persuaded to betray suspicions as to the zeal and judgment, not only of the originators and promoters of schools throughout .the country, hut even of the National Church itself. They re quired the inspection of all schools which should hereafter be aided by public money; and would not be satisfied with an inspection carried on under the authorities of the Church, a but insisted upon appointing an ipspector of their own ; who, without inquiring into what had hithegto been considered the most important point for examination, namely, religions knowledge, should ascertain merely the state and progress of what is now termed secular instruction. In this new con dition annexed to public grants for educational purposes, the managers of schools, and especially the clergy, to whom pro fessionally the superintendence of education is confided, could not be expected to concur. An inspection by Church authority, so far from resisting, they would have courted ; but not only had they reason to apprehend that this inter ference of a g overnment functionary would lead to further and very perilous encroachments on their pastoral influence, but they considered the measure as in itself objectionable on various grounds; and more especially from its tendency to make religion be regarded as a secondary instead of a primary and paramount consideration.. The clergy, therefore, were precluded by conscientious scruples from accepting the aid so ungeneronsly and cruelly restricted. Meanwhile many friends of practical education, trusting to the wonted assistance of parliament, and to the hitherto un failing co-operation of the National Society, not only pro jected plans of new schools, but proceeded to carry them into execut:on. In several instances, the minister of the parish, foremost as 'became his holy office in the good work, made himself persOnally responsible for the whole of the dencien . eicaoyhiela ! the:public grant was expected to supply. But .suilderily.this resource fails him, unless, as has been stated, • lie &mats 'to conditions which he considers dangerous and dealle i g e : . •., mg . , . .4R n iquene : A a lutiep e cam e eption of the difficulty.and ern baraas the clergy were reduced by their zeal fbe pdpillanaalulia),ioined with their high-minded reso lution, rennin to ! auffier,,,fpr, conscience sake than do violence tO their 'Fr:Amelia, if s ;Would he necessary for the public to evade iiresantien e of the .volimainons correspondence, zln un et•aae 10.00.1sittairs, which, .during the last three leoettis, it has been my painful task to: peruse.

' In other cases the, apPlicant, after accepting the offer of the Committee of Council, has opened his eyes. to the danger lurking under the plausible pretence of unauthoritative go vernment Inspection ; has heard of the acknowledgement.by the Committee of Council that regulation A is only "fur the • present year;" and will be afterwards succeeded by more stringent measures ; has ascertained what is the ultimate ob ject of the philosophical educationists - by whom government inspection was first proposed ; lies begun to look upon it as the first step towards transferring the superintendence of education from the Church to the State, and thereby either introducing into schools a generalised Christianity or banish ingShristianity from them altogether ; and has written to me earnestly soliciting assistance from the society that he may rid himself of the offensive bond and return the money. - When the applicant has from the first considered himself precluded from accepting the grant, he has the_Christiau firmness to decline it, alllieugh lie-is almost driven to accept it " by urgent necessity," or thereby " brings himself into • a strait ;" o r m us t " make himself responsible for the deli ' ciencY ;" Or " fears ,he lEtbit AbanclutiDis present. project ;" or " from the, poverty of his pariah must take upon himself the whole exeense ;" or " will be, involved in great enibar rassreent ;" or" is - called upon to pay a large sum which Ile has only the means -of meeting to a limited extent;" or "is ' subjected to greet i inconvenience, having, on the faith of the government gitasit,made preparations the..cost of which he,-• will lie obliged to defray ; ' or- " finds himself at a stand still, with - the future !all dark, and at a l oss w h a t t o d o ." Sometimes my correspondenc e has afforded me the grati fying intelligence that the applicant will not call for assistance l'i ma the National Society, because it is " not to the society, bet to parliament, that he looks for redress of the wrong he has sustained ; or because " the promoters of the school, who strongly objected to the proposed inspection, had sup plied all his wants ;" or because " he was enabled to carry `tin his buildings' through the very great munificence of a 'neighbouring landowner ;" or because " he will endeavour to procure the !sum required from other quarters, and trusts that his parishioners will not ultimately suffeafrom his per formance of a duty which he owes no less to them than to himself;" Or because " he call afford to complete the school tediclings froM hia own resources, and considers it the duty Of every individual to strain every nerve at this crisis to ren der hiruSelf rather a help than a burden to others." A painfulecontrast to these gratifying communications is afforded by the many letters I have received from every quar ter of the kingdom, in which the parties inform me, that as they cannot, under present circumstances, conscientiously accept public•inoney, and consider the whole cause of sound Canstien ediliaition in tile greatest jeopardy, they have either tc , ir th e present abandoned their whole. design of building selioors,•ol. htiVe contracted the dimensions of the buildings, iir kill be satisfied with one school instead of two, or with Sunday schools instead of week-day schools, or will not now jsyov"ide accommodation for the master and mistress.

PURCHASE OF BIRKENHEAD FERRY • (From the Liverpool Journal) The corporation are now in treaty for the purchase, which we hope there will not be a mordent's hesitation to complete, of the valuable estate constituted of Birkenhead Ferry and Hotel, and about nine acres of the adjacent land, with all the shore down to low water mark. The price, £65,000, though large, does not seem an extravagant one, even without refer ence to prospective improvement. The old corporation showed much less than its usual judg ment in purchases, in not securing the whole of the Birken head estate belonging to Mr. Price, which a very few years back might, we have been informed, been had for £lOO,OOO, and which, even under the ferry monopoly, which has tended greatly to check improvement, has immensely increased in value=possibly to six or seven times that amount. The ad vantages of such a purchase, not merely to the corporate estate, but.to the general interests of the peopleof Liverpool, would have been incalculable. • , The advantages of the present purchase are great and ob vibus. If merely sold off, or let on lease, it • would afford a fair investment for money. It gives the corporation, in con junction with the Wallasey estate, the monopoly of the only sites on that side of the water suitable, either in respect of convenience or economy, for the construction of docks ; and, more than all, it affords them the means of securing the pub lic the free navigation of the river, by affording a landing place for competition in the conveyance of passengers at the lowest possible cost. To say nothing of the steamers, the corporation could . not 'do a more useful or popular thing than to afford a free slip, at which the poor boatmen on the river might earn a living in fine weather, by plying, which they do now under. great disadvantage, being compelled to land pas sengers on the open beach, since they were driven from the ancient highway at Woodside. Under the acts constituting the Liverpool dock trust, the bond debt contracted in their construction, amounting to nearly a million and a half, is secured on dock duties payable ,equally by all vessels which enter the Mersey, whether they discharge in the docks or at Runcorn, or any other point on its shores. This guarantee, to which :the public faith is pledged, at least so long as the debt remains unpaid, has been frequently assailed by parties having an - interest on points of debarkation higher up the river, backed by the' representatives of Manchester and the inland towns and counties ; and at this moment the Harrington dock company have a hill before parliament for effecting that object. It was the stumbling-block in the last conservancy bill, and stands in the way of every attempt to improve the navigation, and will stand equally in the way of the proposed warehouse bill ; for we do not believe that the legislature will ever con sent to mortgage the whole commerce of the Mersey, to the extent of six - or eight hundred thousand pounds. to build warehouses in Liverpool; or that the money can possibly be borrowed on the particular security of the docks and ware houses to be constructed. Such .being the case, the Liverpool corporation and the dock committee have looked with great and well-founded jealousy on the formation of any docks by other parties on the opposite shore, which might not only compete with their own, even under the disadvantage of double dues, from the cheapness of the site and natural facilities of construction, but might add new and formidable opponents to a list al ready sufficiently formidable of the enemies of their claim to tax the commerce of the river; and their purchases on the shore of Wallasey Pool were dictated by the same judicious motives as now prompt the one proposed on the creek of Tranmere. No such objections, however, apply to the con struction of docks there, to a certain extent, by themselves. Whether it would be politic to construct docks for the pur pose of discharging, and warehousing on the spot, the car goes of inward bound vessels, is certainly a doubtful matter, and will continue doubtful so long as there are the means of further dock accommodation within the present line of quays; and when those are exhausted, the question will he, whether it is more politic to contend with the sea on the ex posed north shore, or to go to the natural shelter on the other side of the river. But we think there can he no question that it Would greatly facilitate the commerce of the port to have at Birkenhead a dock for the reception of flats em ployed m transferring the merchandise shipped at LiverpOOl, like the basins at Ellesmere port, Runcorn, and Weston Point, at which the different great canals, the feeders of our commerce, debouch. The necessity of such a port will be the more decided, when the Birkenhead and Chester Railway is completed, as a means of transferring to this shore, or from it, the heavy goods, cattle, and bulky articles of dif ferent kinds which that railway will most certainly convey. The finance committee deserve great credit for their fore sight in this matter; and we again repeat our hope that there will be not a moment's hesitation in. ratifying a contract every way desirable. ( From the Liverpool Courier.) We are glad to see that the Town-council is turning its attention to the, opposite margin of the river, with a view to taking advantage of the facilities which it affords for mer cantile acconoodation, in the event, of Liierpool continuing to proceed,at her 'present rate of commercial and territorial advancement. The report of the Finance Committee, to which allusion is made abeve,' referred to the subject of the Birkenhead j - Iotel; and other 'property, with the right of ferry, whicli.the Corporation; it appears, haVe now an oppor tunity of purchasing, at the sum of .£l ,000. The quantity • of land; exclusive of the shore, is stated at 43,000 square yards, the space available for dock's, and capable of extensive increase bY Mean's - of purchases under parliamentary powers, at 300 yards by 110.' It is greatly to be regretted that this purchase was not • made conjointly with the old one . at Wallasey Pool, or, ante rior to that period, when the entire estate of Birkenhead might have 'been pnrchaSed for £lOO,OOO or under. It af fords another illustration of the good policy of anticipating the wants of commerce, by purchasing land likely to be re quired for commercial purposes while it can be purchased advantageously. • 'The position of Birkenhead is one of incalculable importaziee to the port of Liverpool. In the event of new chicks • becoming, necessary, it may be a question whether Birkenhead would not present a more eligible site than the remote extremities of the present lengthened line on this side of the water. There are a variety of ways in which the interests of the port might be promoted by the formation of docks at Birkenhead. It might be•advisable:to remove thither the timber trade, which now absorbs so much valuable space on this'side,; or a steam dock might be constructed, to admit the larger class of ves sels of that. description; or, thirdly, it might be made the depot for Iriih produce, so as to save the inconvenience and expense of warehousing in Liverpool, previously to its being sent up the country. - To whatever purpose; however, it may be applied, the reasons, foe, the Corporation taking it into their hands are sufficiently Obvious. They involve, 'pros pectively, to our 'raindS, - the whOle question as to whether Birkenhead shall lie "a SUbSidiary adjunct or a formidable rival to Liverpool. Should the Council let this opportunity slip, other parties may ' ,, et possession of the grdund, and form docks along it, to the s,rious detriment of the trade of Liverpool. There seems to be a...natiiral reason, too, why the Corp Oration, as conservator; Of the river, should . .be in possession of the ferry, which may be termed, and is, we be lieve, so considered in'laC the king's highway. The sum :demanded' it large, it is true; but the time is fast coming when it will - be - Much larger, should the property he even attainable at any price - . Much of the uncertainty which would formerly have hung over such a spechlation is now removed. Birkenhead is already a flourishing town, and there are many certain indications of its future eminence. It will very shortly be the terminus of a railway to Chester, connecting the shores of the Mersey with the important mining districts in that direction, and giving an impulse to business in all its departments. It is extensively resorted to as a ready and cheap retreat from the turmoil of the town, and for those advantages of a pure and salubrious atmos phere which cannot so easily be obtained on this side ; and new residences and public buildings for the accomodation of ' the accumulating population are springing up on every side. There can be no question, therefore, that this is the point towards which the Stream of prosperity is now setting ; that `consequently, if decks are to be constructed on any part of the.opposite coast, it must be here and that, whether con verted to dock purposes or not, there can be no doUbt that the proposed purchase will prove a safe speculation.' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. We stated, on Friday evening, that we anticipated the Chester Cup entry-would be " superior to that of last year." It proves, numerically speaking, to be so'; exceeding last year's entry by three horses, and amounting; to the largest number :ever known for this stake, viz. forty six: It re mains, however, for the evnoscena to say, whether the qua lity of • the field is as good as :the extent is great. Leaving 'them to • settle 'this point, we may simply obServe, that the list, as far as the entries have gene, does not look so pro mising as the last one ; but, if the sport is -equally good, there will, indeed, be little occasion ter complain. Y ester day the gelding entered by - Mr. Massey was backed for a good deal-of money, the acceptor tiring the fieldsmen at 100 to 5. Lanercost and Cowboy were then supOrted it 20 'to 1, the former to win at least £5OO. Neither Abraham New land nor Malvolio go down at the price which was the ex treme of the -tharket a week agp, as should be almost disposed to think that - the closeness in the offers, against two or three,: leaves it a doubtful point to write the absolute premier. Twenty to one was at noon offered against two or three, Malvolio we did not hear named. Twenty-five to one was offered against any of Colonel Peel's lot, and 100 to 6 would have been taken on " All Ireland." Melbourne was asked after, but no price transpired. Great changes will no doubt appear when the handicap comes out, and the latest day must be the 14th. As near as we can collect the market, an aver age scale is thus : THE CHESTER CUP, p.p. , 100 to 6 on the field.—off 20 to 1 against Tubalcain.—t 20 to 1 Sir Thomas Stanley's Cowboy.—t 20 to 1 20 to 1 25 to 1 25 to 1 Mr. Isaac Day's Caravan.—t 25 Lord Westminster's Sleight-of-Hand.—off Lord Westminster's Sir Ralph.

Molineux (take 40 to 1 freely); 200 to 30 v. Gambia (off).—Mancliester Guardian. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—There was a good general inquiry both for goods and yarn yesterday ; but, as a great majority of the spinners and manufacturers held out resolutely for .higher prices, which the buyers in general were not disposed to give, the amount of business did. not quite correspond with the extent of the inquiries. In some few cases an advance was given ; in the remainder the full prices of the previous week were obtained ; and, generally speaking, the market wore a firm and healthy appearance. - ROCHDALE FLANNEL • MARKET.---MONDAY, JAN. 6. To-day is scarcely - deserving the name of a market ; very few buyers have attended, and those have made limited pur chases. There is generally a scanty attendance on the mar ket days. that occur between Christmas day and the " new market," which, this year, will be held on the 13th instant, being as late as it can possibly fall. Wool has been rather more inquired after, and has met with a better sale at the old prices. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JANUARY 7TH.--From all we can learn our report of improvement in this market last week, is fully confirmed to-day. A gradually increasing demand for goods is generally apparent; and purchasers of the raw material are pretty extensive. Prices, too, are on the advance. Orders are more plentiful, so that the warehouses begin to wear a more stirring appearance. Work, too, begins to be more plentiful; but we fear a great mass of operatives will have to struggle hard during the winter months, until a re vival of trade becomes more general.—Manchester Guardian.

Standard Office, Three o'Clock. LIVERPOOL MARKETS.—This DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. Within the last three days the arrivals into this port con sist of 297 quarters of Wheat from Ireland, 4056 quarters coastwise, and 2306 quarters from abroad ; of English and Irish Barley 863 quarters, of Oats 5254 quarters, and of Oatmeal 4026 sacks ; but of Flour and other articles the supplies fresh in for to-day are trivial. The duty on foreign Oats is raised to 108 9d, on Beans to ss, and on colonial Oats to 2s per quarter. On all other pro duce it remaids the same as last week: . The Corn trade, from the close of Tuesday's market until to-day, remained extremely dull and uninteresting; and continued throughout the whole of this day's market to exhibit a similar want of animation. A few limited sales of foreign Wheat, to ship northward and to Ire land, formed the only transactions in this grain worth naining for that purpose; and the millers, being still very inactive, all descriptions of both old and new were deci dedly id. or 2d. per 70 lbs. cheaper. In the value of free Flour, however, although taken off sparingly, we have no change to 'note ; and of bonded samples very few parcels have been sold. Barley,. Malt, Beans, and Pease, being equally dull, were severally the turn, lower, and Oats as well as Oatmeal, com manding very little notice, hardly sustained our last quota- A ARIVA] From the 7th to tk LS OF CORN, 9th January, inci Wsive.

Since our return of the 31st ultimo, upwards of 10,000 qrs. of Wheat have entered this port Coastwise, consisting principally of Foreign growth, duty paid ; but from Ireland or direct from abroad. the arrivals of this Grain were inconsiderable. Of English and Irish Flour, including about 6500 barrels from New Orleans, Philadelphia and New York, and of British and Foreign Barley, Beans and Pease, we have to note a moderately fair accession, with a further good stipply of .Irish Oats and Oatmeal. In addition to these, by the payment of duties last week, 49•.0 qrs Wheat and 9062 barrels of Flour have been placed upon the free market, affording a good show of samples for to-day. Although a tolerable number of town and country mlilers attended this morning, the Wheat trade remained extremely languid ; and with a general disinclination to purchase beyond a very limited amount, in order to serve the wants of needy buyers, all descrip tions of both old and new Wheats declined ad per 701 b from the rates of this day se'nnight. At the same time, all sorts of free Flour moved off very sparingly, haidly supporting former prices ; and although a few thousand barrels recently changed hands at 31s 6d in bond, the demand has subsided, and 31s per barrel the highest price obtainable to-day. In Barley we have little or nothing to report, the market con tinuing bare of fresh samples; and for Malt, Beans and Peas, the trade was heavy at our last quotations. In Oats and Oatmeal the transactions to-day were likewise upon a very limited scale, all but the finest qualities of the former being Id per 451 b cheper. \Yak:AT, per 701bs s. d. s. d.

The late advanced rates of Butter arc steadily maintained, and the stock of the finer sorts having got into few hands; more atten tion is given by the consumers to the medium descriptions.—Very little doing in Pickled Butter, and last quotations may be therefore considered nominal.—There is a very limited demand for Beef and Pork, the same being entirely confuted to ship stcres.—The Bacon market remains inactive.
