TIIE FOUNDER OF SITN.D.A.Y MUOOLS

It is intended to raise a memorial to Robert Raikes in
the city of his birth. The founder of Sunday schools was
I orn in Gloucester in 1735. and in 1757 he sucivedoil his
father as editor of the Gloucester Journal. which had been
ifunded in rra Rallies was struck in paining through
the streets with the filthy conversation and disreputable
c.induct of the children, and he suggested ton woman who
had some talk with him on the subject that she should
have a few of the children on the Sunday and teach them
to read. Tour women eventually undertook the duty, and
to civil of them R likes paid • shilling a Sunday. He told
the clergy what he had done, and they highly approved of
it. Soon his scheme got noineil abroad, paragraphs
appeared in the newspapers, and the clergy generally took
the matter op. So, too, did the Nonconformist ministers,
Itaikes died and the only memorials of him are a
tonilsitone in a churchyard, a share of a tablet in the
Cathedral, and the inscription of his name in the paper
which he founded. It is now proposed by the Baptists in
Gloucester to erect large lichoohi, a hall capable of con.
taming 450 persons, clam-room, and a teachers library,
together with a bust of Raikes. The aid of the Baptists
all over the kingdom is being asked, and Mr. Spurgeon
has sent .f. 5.

THE SPANISH PRETENDER.
Don Carlos, followed by his staff, has entered France.
The telegraph gave immediate information of it to the
French Government, who transmitted the news to its
representatives abroad. urging them to give the utmost
publicity to these happy tidings. As soon SS Don Carlos
but entered France, the General commanding the French
Military Forces of the Frontier Departments, conformably
with the orders of the Minister of War, waited on hint,
to inform him that, according to custom, the officers of
his staff might retain their swords, and even the horses
belonging to them personally, but that he and his staff
would, have to submit themselves to the orders of intern-
ment which would be communicated to them by the civil
authorities. Don Carl., visibly depressed, appeared
quite disposed to conform to the intimations given him,
and begged that his thanks might be conveyed to the
French Government for the courteous way in which he
and his suite found themselves received, and his officers
seemed pleased at being able to retain their swords. The
French Government, on its part, hastened, it is said, to
inform the Spanish Government officially of Don Carlo's
arrival, and to congratulate it on the happy conclusion of
the war. Don Carlom asks to remain iu France, but it is
probable that the French Government will refuse him
this favour.
The rejoicings at the final defeat and flight of Don Carlos
continue, and preparations are being made for a
grand reception of the victorious army next week, with
thme days ,if festivities, bull lights, etc. The sub-
mission of the 'artists is said to have been entirely un-
conditional. It is stated in a Paris telegraiu that Don
Carlos is co gto this country. On entering France,
he was told by the Prefect of the IlasselePyr,M6es that he
could not stay there, but that perhaps the French Govern-
ment would permit hint to temporanly reside in the north,
at DePple, forinstanee, or Boulogne. Thirty thousand men
will at once lie sent to Oda as rid of or, intuit A.

Mr. E. J. Read is diepuoel to take a aoinewliat alarming
view of the present state of the British navy. Ile has just
written a letter in which he intim tins that we have only
twelve ships at the present ~,,, snout which conoitute the
seagoing ironclad navy of Great Britain.
A RILL OF A MUST IMPORTANT CHORISTER has been
quietly introduced into parliament and has received a
second reading in the lime of Commons. It relates to
oyster fisheries, and enacts that any perrons exposing for
sale, or having in their possession, during the months of
May, June, July, and August, any oysters, rater br.l, or
spot, shall be liable to a penalty. The virtual effect of
this will be to put • atop to all dredging operations round
our coast from the It flay of May to the let day of

CARDINAL NIANNINO ON PALIPPRISMI.—CAPHDDI Mantling
preached yesterday afternoon to a crowded congregation
in the mission chapel of St. Mary's. Ilolywell place,
Hampsi ma. on behalf of the new school building in connec-
tion with that chapel, in whirl. about sixty boys and girls
are educated. The cardinal sail that England, the richest
sf all countries, had attain it a stain and a shame not to be
found in countries which Englishman assumed to despise,
he meant pauperism, an intense demoralidd state of
poverty. Poverty in itself was an honourable state, but
mtuperisca something altogething distinct from poverty.
Pauperism was that wretched condition of men and of
families out of which there was no rising be any effort of
their OWa. And what did it come frond It would take too
long to endeavour to say. One reason he would state: the
overwhelming pro.perity of the rich, the closeness at the
hands and the hearts, and the ignorance in which the rich,
lived and died of the state of the pour who lived and died
round their dwellings. The poesession of wealth and
prosperity gathered a selfishness and unconsciousness of
the otfueringS of the sufferings of others, so that men
were wrapped up in their own daily indulgence and were
forgetful of those who were in want.
