RA IL ROUZI.I. ON Porturz EnocAnos.—Earl
Russell, at the opening of the new Britiali School
buildinp at Mount Ararat, Richmoud, referring to the
modes of giving education, said have always been
in favour of the British reboot system of educatioo,
because, as my friend William Allen used always to
say, "They are schools for all." It is necessary that the
schools should not merelybe secular,hut that they should
combine religious teaching, which should not, however,
be sectarian. There will be plenty Of time when these
children go to church and chapel either to learn the
particular form of doctrine which their parents have
followed, or to adopt one which is more consisteat with
their own conscientious views. But I think while there
are young boys and girls at school it ought to he
suffieient for them to know what Christ his taught,
and from throe lemons and precepts to guide their
soodust in life.

Ma. BRIGHT ON TIM MINI' ANNIDNINTIL—At
the Northern Reform Union meeting at Manchester on
Tuesday night, to protest against the Lords' amend-
Brenta to the Government Reform Bill, Mr. Bright, in •
speech of some length, raid the imbrue as to seeing
papers was most foolish and vexation& What could
be more new or needless than It? He denounced the
mode of voting adopted for places haring three ;
members. He aged his countrymen to reject this new
worst device of their opponents, because it was • ,
principle diustrously fatsl to everything which we
comprehended, and which our forefathers bad compre-
hended, of the true pi ineiple of popular representation.
He infinitely preferred the practice of the robust
common sense of those who had gone before us to this
new scheme, whieh was offered to us with so many
professions for our good. He regarded it, be wads
without fear of whomsoever it might strike, u the
offspring and spawn of feeble min& - (loud cheers). A
petition to Parliament was adopted in furtherance of
the objects of the meeting.
MINI/RENAL BANQUET—At the annual banquet
given by the Lord Mayor of London, on Wednesday,
Lord Derby. in acknowledging the principal toast, said
he trusted that the great and overwhelming :question of
Parliamentary Reform being put wide, and having been
the means of terminating for, considerable penod of
time any agitation for future changes, Parliament
would feel itself at liberty to devote its attention—and
he could answer for it the Government would devote
its most zealous attention—to the introduction of
various commercial, social, and moral matters which
loudly call for reformation, and from which the atten-
tion of Parliament has been diverted by other qeestions
of a more interesting and exciting character—Mr.
Disraeli said be had seen several monopolies termi-
nated in his time, and recently the "monopoly of
Liberation; "and when the present hubbubhaa subsided
nothing more terrible will be discovered to have occurred
than that the Tory party has rammed its natural tune-
lions in the Government of the country—for what was
the Tory party unless it represented "national
feeling ?"
Novu Samos Flamm°. —The magistrates of the
Liansintffraid (Montgomeryshire) petty guidons had a

before them at the instance of the Board of ('on'
servators of the Severn fishery district the other day.
An old woman of the not uncommon Welsh name of
Elizabeth Jones was summoned for using • certain dam
on the river Verniewr (a tributary of the Severn) for
facilitating the catching of salmon. This was a very
unusual case; but the defendant did not appear to the
summons, whit* was heard in her absent)* The
facts were these : For some years put she has rented •

As they leap they drop into the net and so are captured.
