There is, however, a far greater difficulty to be encountered before any system of National Educa tion can be made really efficacious in training the children of the poor as Christians and good subjects. The most that is now done is assistance in the construction of school-houses, and the training and payment of more efficient teachers ; but this, at the best; is supplying a want which is the least felt. By far the greatest difficulty is experienced in ob taining scholars, to obviate which there is but a choice of evils. The poor care little or nothing for the instruction of their children ; and the only attempt which has yet been made, as to a remedy, is to hold out inducements of a questionable cha racter, but which only can be justified on the ground of anything being better than leaving the poor children to grow up as heathens, in ignorance of everything but what they may pick up in the streets. The parents refuse to contribute even the small pittance of a penny a week ; and, to overcome this repugnance, the children are taught accomplishments equal to those of far higher station in society, and adapted to a condition of life much superior to that which the children can be expected to occupy. What is wanted is the inculcation of the first principles of the Christian religion, and for this purpose there is no lack of schools and competent teachers. The children only are needed, and to obtain these more stringent means must be used. We must go into the highways, and the lanes, and the hedges, and compel them to come in, or the alternative will be the growing up of our youthful population in total ignorance of their condition as immortal beings, with the exception of those who are now becoming discontented with their low estate by , being edu cated far above it. It is, perhaps, difficult to define in what way a system of national instruction can be made compulsory, without infringing too much upon the liberty of the subject, which is so dear to every Englishman. The difficulty, however, arises chiefly in large towns, and not so much in rural districts, where the children of the labouring classes are sent more readily to parochial schools. But in the densely populated manufacturing towns there are more facilities for turning the labour of children to some profitable amount, and far less moral supervision, so that they suffer from the cupidity of those who are their natural guardians. The most feasible plan is to prohibit the employ ment of children in factories unless they can pro duce a certificate of their attendance at a national school. Another step in the same direction would be to make the parents responsible for the expenses in all cases where children are convicted of petty crimes ; and then, with the aid of Ragged Schools, under efficient supervision, and the Industrial Schools attached to Union Poor-houses, we may hope to see some cheek to the spread of infidelity and its 'concomitant superstition, which .are be coming the shame and disgrace of 'christian England. It may have been supposed that, with all the recent exertions Tor the extension of National Education, the increased grants by Parliament, and the large amount of voluntary contributions, that the necessity must now be less urgent than it was half a century since. The fact, however, is otherwise. Formerly the population was more midely scattered, :and more under the supervision of:parochial authorities. But the vast increase of commerce and manufactures has drawn the labour ing 'classes together into large towns, where they are beyond all efficient moral controul. The growth of England's material wealth has been the source of her moral weakness, and the evil demands an active remedy, if we would not realize the pre- diction of GOLDSMITH " 11l fares the land, to hastening ills a prey. Where wealth accumulates, and men decay." The subject is one of far more real importance - than the threatened Reform Bill, fOr 'which there has been no demand, and which must result in promoting the strife of political patties, without the possibility of producing any good whatever. THE French Government has made a show of 'advancing a step towards the encouragement of increased trade with England by a !reduction of .the import duty on iron and coals. By a decree Which appears in the Moniteur of Wednesday last, the French duty on 'the importation of Pig Iron is reduced from about 565. Bd. to 445. per ton ; till Ist January, 1855, and afterwards, to 355. 4d. ; on bars and rails, from about £8 4s. 10d. and £6 12s, to £7 Os. 10d. and £5 ss. 10d. per ton ; till Ist January, 1855, and afterwards, to £6 3s. 4d. and £4 Bs. ; on Sheet Iron, from £l7 12s. to £ll per ton ; till Ist January, 1855, and afterwards, to £Bl6s ; and on steel, 'in bars, from £26 Bs. cast, and £52 16s. wrought, to a uniform duty of £l7 12s. per ton, till Ist ilanuary, 1855, and after wards to £l3 4s. per ton. The duty on coals is reduced in the Channel ports from 4s. 7d. to about 2s. 9d. per ton in French or English vessels ; and a uniform duty of ls. 41-d. per ton in the Atlantic and Mediterranean ports. It is said that these reductions will give rise to a largely-increased de mand, and that about sixty vessels have already been chartered at Bordeaux to bring both iron and coals ; and the price of the former article has con siderably advanced in our markets. This circum stance will, no doubt, eagerly be seized upon as - an instance of reciprocity corroborative of the wis dom of our present system of commercial policy, and perhaps may form an excuse for its further extension by reductions of our present rates of import duties on French wines, spirits, and manu factured articles. It will be seen, however, that the change presents but an infinitesimal dose of advantage to our export trade with France ; inasmuch as the benefit is almost . confined to the raw materials of coal and pig iron, which may tend to raise their value to consumers in this country. Had France really intended to increase its commercial relations with England, its ports should have been opened to our numerous manu factures upon equal terms to those on which we receive French silks, gloves, leather, and other manufactures. But, to confine the reduction of duty to such simple articles as the French people require in order to enable them the better to com pete with the manufacturing superiority of Eng land, is a species of selfish policy which calls for no concession on our part, and any attempt of the kind ought to be firmly resisted. IT is a grievous shame, in this age of boasted in telligence, a foul spot upon the escocheon of our national morality, that the law has hitherto been found altogether inadequate to protect our females in humble life from the brutal and savage cruelty of their husbands, from those who have solemnly sworn to protect, love, honour, and cherish them.

Kiberpoot :-:ztattbarb, TUESDAY MORNING, NOV.. 29,1853 , WITH the exception of the threatened reform of the Reform Act, we have as yet received no fore shadowing of the measures which are to form the business of legislation during the next Session of Parliament, unless, indeed, Reform is to constitute the sole Government business, and individual mem bers are to be allowed to indulge in their several crotchets. There is, however, the question of Education, "upon the introduction of which, last session, Lord JOHN RUSSELL claimed for himself more credit than he deserved. It is .a subject which is hardly likely to receive a satisfactory solution, involved as it is in peculiar difficulties. If it is to be purely of a secular character, it will not, and ought not, to satisfy the majority of the intelligent public who consider religious instruction of the first consequence, and which cannot be left as an open question in any system of national education. Again, if the religion of the State be made an essential element, then the Dissenters are in loud outcry about their claim to a share in State endowments ; and, when this point has been con ceded, and the Government has surrendered its right to decide upon what is Christianity, the Romanists make their demand ; and a pliable Board of Privy Council, not knowing, or pretending not to know, where to draw the line, appropriate part of the funds of the State to the propagation of superstition and heresy. Under such circum stances, it is questionable how far any improvement can be looked for at the hands of those who have at present the direction of public affairs, and whe ther it would not be better to leave the question in its present state until England shall have roe. NIERCIAL ADVERTISER for this offence to six months' imprisonment. Re did not, however, express any confident opinion as to the result of the change, but expressed his intention to apply to Parliament for further powers if it should prove to be ineffectual. It would seem that the punishment of six months' imprison ment, with all the comforts which modern philan thropy has given to our gaols, presents scarcely more terrors than the previous limit of two months' incarceration ; for such offences are being committed with a frequency revolting to humanity, while the details which the records of the London Police-courts present, are almost beyond the bounds of credibility that such human fiends should be permitted to exist. The Morning Post of Tuesday last contains no fewer than three of such cases ; two heard before the LORD MAYOR, at the Mansion-house, London, in each of which the offenders were tailors, and another. at the Thames Police-office, in which the offender is described as a Lancashire collier. On Friday, the police reports contained a similar case ; so that, within four days, as many charges of this disgusting nature .were heard before the London police-magistrates. The par ticulars deposed to on oath on these occasions, exceed the wildest dreams of romance, showing too terribly that " truth is strange, stranger than fiction." We subjoin a few extracts from the cases we have alluded to : Emma Curtis (the complainant) said—On Sunday morning, between three and four o'clock, he made me go to d stark naked, and he ripped up my stays with a penknife, took the bone out of it, and beat me on the body with the bone till it broke in three pieces. He was quite sober, and so was I, for I never drink. He had been out, and I was afraid to go to bed till he came home. After he had broken the bone he beat me with my hair brush. He then dragged me out of bed, made m( the bed three times, tried to st ngle me with f4nlr +ha v,nlL. has in his hand ;truck - me several times. f did not call out, for he said if I did he would dance upon my body. After having beaten me severely he went down stairs and to the bottom of the court, but he immediately returned, and began beating me again with the stick, and then the officers came into the room. The. Lord Mayor—How often has this occurred ? CoMplainant-:- -Ever since we were married in Ja has frequently used that stick upon me. lie has also thrown boiling water from the teapot upon me. lam in the utmost danger, and I throw my life upon your lord ship's hands, for I believe it is his intention to kill me. In the next case, Ann Wright, the complainant, said—Yesterday he said he would be hung for murdering me, as the man that was sentenced to be hung that morning would be hung. He hit me twice on the head with the sleeve-board, and cut open my skull in two places. I bled Nery much. He also struck me with his fist in the face, and continued to lmock me about for three or four minutes. I called out for assistance, and people came, and I went to a doctor to have my head dressed. I have been married to the prisoner three years, and he has beaten me every month since I married him. in the the third case, It appeared from the evidence of two respectable NS named" Sarah 'Valentine and Harriet Vent; Saturday evening, a b ou t h a lf- pas t s i x o'clock,, they —. the prisoner and his wife in Cottage-street, Poplar. The wife was burthened with a young child which the carried in her arms, and could not move so fast as her husband, who commenced swearing at her, and told her to walk on faster. The - wife said she was going as fast as she was able, on which the prisoner, with a dreadful oath, said he would inake'her go on faster, and struck her on the back with his fist. He then raised a heavy stick, which he carried in his hand, and struck his wife a tremendous blow on the nose with it. She fell as if shot, and the blood gtiihed from the wound over the footpath. The woman was insensible for some time afterwards, and her nose was completely flattened by the blow. A policeman, named Grimes, who took the prisoner into custody, pro duceda thick and heavy bludgeon,with which the prisoner had inflicted the blow on his wife, and said her nose was smashed. In the fourth case, which was heard at the Westminster Police-court, John Rogers, a low-looking fellow, was charged with the following brutality to his wife, who bore undeniable preofs of his savage treatment: — Margaret Rogers, the wife, who evinced throughout a strong desire to screen the defendant, stated that between two and three o'clock that afternoon he came home drunk and asked her for money. She replied that she had none, upon which he knocked her down and kicked her, and then threw the dinner which she had prepared into the street. Mr: Simons, Inspector of the B diVision.—Did he not :thrust his hand down your throat and hurt you very much ? Complainant.—Yes, but I only want him held to keep - the peace. Simons.—She has got marks onlher arm, where he s cut her with a knife, The woman's arm being bared, presented the marks alluded' to, there being one more severe than the rest. Mr • Broderip.—How came you with those sears ? Complainant (hesitatingly).—They were cuts with a knife. Mr. Broderip.—When were they done ? Complainant. —Two years ago. Mr. Broderip.—By whom ? Complainant —By my husband, but I don't wish to be hard with him. Mr. Broderip.—How did you get that black eye ? Complainant. —He gave me that last Friday week. Complainant further reluctantly admitted that he had been in the habit of treating her in the most cruel manner for a great length of time. Robert Adams, 158 B, stated that defendant thrust three fingers into her throat, and attempted-to tear her mouth open. He then struck her several blows about the head with his fists. Mr. Simons said that, from his knowledge of the de fendant and his habits, he should not at all be surprised to find him placed at that bar for murder or manslaughter. In all these cases the full penalty of six months' imprisonment was inflicted. It is fortunate for such despicable ruffians that those who administer the law are obliged to restrain their outraged feelings of 'humanity, or it would be almost impossible to say what extent of severity such savage brutality would justify. It is, however, a disgrace to our civilization that the law should confine offended justice to a remedy so manifestly in adequate, and the attention of the Legislature should be seriously called to the necessity of rendering it more efficient. It is becoming a question of some importance whether the abolition of corporal pu nishment, which was intended to be humane, was, in reality, a wise alteration. The successful in stance in which it was restored for the better pro tection of Her MAJESTY against assaults upon her person, affords some proof of its efficacy, and per haps it might be applied with advantage for the better protection of Her MAJESTY'S more humble female subjects. The objection that corporal pu nishment tends to brutalize a man is positively worthless, for such offenders are worse than brutes, and no punishment can be too degrading. It is said that in one of the prisoni of the United States of America a precaution against escape is taken by having the nose of each prisoner stained with a black dye, which is rendered indelible for the time of his sentence, and it has been suggested that such a remedy might be applied with advantage to savage husbands. It might be made a mark which should exclude them from all civilized society, and subject any publican to a penalty who supplied them with drink. Such a plan may not be infal lible, but it is clear that some alteration of the law is imperatively called for. Another mode might be to commit them for trial, and subject them to the consequences of assaulting with intent to murder. CONTINENTAL IsTzws has lately assumed such a deep tinge of falsehood, and become such a con fused compound of truth and fiction, that it requires more than ordinary skill, and some share of good fortune, to discriminate between them, and tell which to believe and which to reject. Of all that has lately come over the wires, the only thing that seems distinctly to be corroborated is the death of the QUEEN OF PORTUGAL, and the details of that event are accompanied with variations, the succes sor to the throne of DONNA MARIA being styled Dom PEDRO 11., V., and VIII., in the several accounts An event which is probably, however, of more importance, has recently occurred,and may have a considerable influence on future events. It is said that a fusion, as it is termed, has taken place between the two branches of the French house of BOURBON. Such an event a few years since would have been highly improbable, owing to the un willingness of the ORLEANS Princes to surrender the claims to the Throne of France, which they could only assert through the doubtful title of LOUIS PHILIPPE. Such hopes are, however, now at an end, and the restoration of the BOURBONS to the French Throne can only be effected throne' the lute ;Iligible title of legitimacy, or not at all unaer mese circumstances, it is not very surprising that they should be inclined to admit the claims of the elder branch, now centered in the person of the COUNT DE CHAMBORD, otherwise the Dix DI BORDEAUX, claiming to be HENRY V. of France, particularly as there is no prospect of any direci descendants and the inheritance would, in tl case, devolve upon the young Coat the eldest son of the DUCUESSE D'ORLEANS movement accounts, it is believed, for the ings and conspira( s which I rectionary proceet recently been more rife in France.

He had, he said, sold the hone, which was worth about les. or 17s. Remanded for a week. STEALING ROPES.—Michael Cosgrove, brought up on suspicion of stealing ropes from the Queen's Dock, on n••• • • _ for the p: On seeing that he was observed by the police, prisoner threw down the ropes and ran away.

OBTAINING A QUANTITY OF ROPES ON FALSE PRE TENCES, —John Sclioles, a man of decent external appea ,ace, was charged with obtaining 35 fathoms and 80 fathoms of new rope, value £l5 3s. 6d., on false pretences. He immediately disposed of the rope to a marine store dealer, named Murray, for the sum of £ll. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner, towards the end of last month, went to the premises of Messrs. Williamson and, Sparks, rope and sail-makers in Park-lane, where he saw their manager, Hugh Laing, to whom he represented himself as Mr. J. F. Robinson, residing in 108, Gill-street, mid saying he was contractor for a reservoir in course of construction for the corporation on the outskirts of the town, ordered 35 fathoms of white cordage of 3i-inc} diameter. In a day or two afterwards he called r 'l if ' -de, 1 - and saia the rope was not m, ,se would prefer it to be only Bi-inch, as he was afraid that first ordered would be too thick for his blocks. He got away the 35 fathom of at-inch rope, and shortlyafterwards returned to the mises of Messrs. V a C- • Vilhamson and Sparks, expressing his entire satisfaction with the rope which had been sent ; at the same time inquiring if they had any 31-inch rope, as he wanted 50 fathoms of that size. Mr. Laing showed him a coil of that diameter, telling him it contained 80 fathoms. Scholes, pretending to make some mental c,alculations as to the suitableness of the rope, concluded his pretended cogitations by saying he would take the 80 fathoms, which he did, and had it carried off with him. Mr. Laing deposed positively that he would not have given the rope to the prisoner unless he had believed him to be Mr. Robinson, and the contractor for the reservoir, as he had represented himself to be. Almost immediately on obtaining possession of the rope, he had it conveyed to the premises of -- Murray, a marine-store dealer, who, on the prisoner's own representation that he was a respectable party, backed by the decency of his appear ance and the verbal guarantee of a man who was with him, purchased the coils of rope, for which he paid £ll. On the application of Mr. Clough, the prisoner was re manded for seven days, that time may be afforded for the discovery of his accomplice. The prisoner, it seems, is well known to the police ; and the magistrate, after cau tioning Murray to be more careful in his future dealings with such parties, ordered him to give up the rope to the officers of the court. ROBBERY FROM TUB PERSON. — Margaret Kelly was charged with robbing a young man, name d J ames Garvan, of eight sovereigns, in a house in Peter-street, on Friday afternoon. From the evidence of the prosecutor, it ap peared that the prisoner and he were old acquaintances, and that on the occasion in question, on meeting her she invited him to accompany her to a public-house. He did so, and they had some drink ; into which the prisoner put something which stupified him. Before he was completely stupified, however, he perceived the prisoner put her hand into his pocket, and he saw her take his money. The prisoner, who was not taken into custody until Saturday, had only a small sum in her possession. She said the prisoner was so drunk when she met him that he did not know what he was doing ; and that he left her to go to the Theatre with two other women; that she was entirely it nocent of the robbery ; and that the alleged mixing of the drink was altogether imaginary. The case was remanded till next day. THE FORGED COTTON DELIVERY ORDERS.—Nancy Hindle, implicated in the cotton case, connected with which John Woods, late clerk with Messrs. Seddon, was a second time remanded last Monday, was brought up, and remanded till Wednesday. SUSPECTED CIIA.RA.CTER.—WiIIiam Thompson, alias Bargain Bill, was charged with being found loitering , - v sal, UN. in the morning of Sund a y, opposite the premisei of a wholesale tea merchant in St. Anne-street. The prisoner is said by the police-officers to be "one of the cleverest thieves in Liverpool, and one on whom the detecti v e s h ave h a d th e i r eyes f or a long perio d . Remanded till to-day. STEALING COPPER NAILS AND BOLTS.---- bout 60 lbs. and John White were charged with stealing Fan a ny, lying in of copper nails and bolts from thesi between one and 'William Bird the Bramley-Moore Dock, on Sunday,seen on board the two o'clock.

The affray, appeared, arose.out of onconstablesSunday Gilmore, an attempt made by Bradley to apprehend James Gilmore, one of the sons of Helen Gilmore, charged with an in innßPionert'neillin:e'sg decent assault upon a young girl, named Maria Catterell. On Bradley attempting to secure the prisoner, he was assaulted and struck over the head with a poker, and Briscoe corning to his aid, was similarly treated. All the male prisoners were convicted, and sentenced to pay a fine of ss.,.With costs, or to be imprisoned seven days each, with the exception of William Gilmore, who, along with his mother and sister, was discharged. ROBBERY OF TWENTY-TWO POUNDS FROM A LODGING HOUSE.—.Margaret Dee, an old woman, and her two daugh ters, Margaret Brown or Dee, and Mary Dee, and Cathe rine Holmes, were charged with stealing £22 in sovere from the house of John Howell, 46, Clayton-street, in which the three Dees lived, on Friday last. From the evidence it appeared that the elder prisoner, who was in arrear of rent for a month, induced Mrs. Howell to go into their apartment, leaving in her own a box in which she had the money ; while engaged with the Dees, some -of them contrived to get into Mrs. Howell's room from which the money was abstracted, and shortly afterwards the whole of the last-named prisoners decamped.
