DR. BOOTH delivered the inaugural address on
Monday evening at the third meeting of the United
Association of Schoolmasters. Dr. Booth chose for
his subject " Systematic Education," and proceeded
to show the inutility of mere statistical knowledge,
in the acquisition of which too much time was now
wasted without any adequate reward, giving many
striking illustrations of the great progress made in
all branches of science and art, and their tendency
to promote the welfare and well-being of mankind,
and asserting that the best means for fully developing
the desire for knowledge among all classes was by a
system of competitive examination. Dr. Booth then
replied in detail to all the arguments against such a
system, and concluded his observations with ex-
plaining his views upon education as follows :
My view is this. We shall never radically improve
education until you create a demand fur it. I sin convinced
that the relation of supply to demand bolds as strictly in
this case as that of iron or coal. This is the great principle
to establish. Once let it be widely known and clearly
understood that a new order of things has arisen—that,
however it may have been heretofore, men will be promoted
for their industry and talent, instead of by personal favour,
or through family influence. 1)o this, and immediately
two distinct consequences will follow. You will have
employments more economically, because better filled than
formerly ; but far more than this will be the result. Edu-
cation will receive an impetus which could be given it in no
other way. I have no doubt whatever on my mind that
within the last two years the Uovernment has done far
more to promote and improve the education of the middle
classes of this country, and to stimulate their energies by
throwing open the appointments in the civil service of the
East India Company to unrestricted competition, by estab-
lishing examinations for official situations, than if they had
founded fifty colleges in different parts of the country, and
endowed 500 professorships in them. The means of
knowledge and facilities for learning are not difficult to
obtain in this country. Everybody you meet is willing to
give the struggling student a helping hand. What we tack
is the strong propelling motive to indefatigable effort.
Make education a necessary of life, and not merely a luxury,
and depend upon it men will procure it, come by it how
they may. Create the demand, and the supply is sure to
follow. Whether England shall elevate the tone of its edu-
cation or raise the standard of its instruction is not a
question for a Government to decide ; it does not depend
on the Lords, it does not rest with the Commons ; it is a
question entirely within the control of the people them•
selves. Let the employers of labour promote only the edu-
cated and the industrious, and an ample supply of the edit-
eated and industrious will be forthcoming. Let them do
this and thou urge the tiovemment to follow their example.

Annual commercial circulars are now being issued in
considerable numbers. They all bear evidence of the ac•
tivity of trade during 1g56, and many dwell with
something like v tone of dissatisfaction upon the dearness
of money having eaten large() into profits. From a casual
perusal of some emanating from our great manufacturing
seats, it appears that fears are entertained that raw mate-
rials may experience an advance during the current year.
The Trade Reports of the week are quite as satisfactory
as those of last week.

THE PRESS.

infinitesimally small. The statutes, at large,
consist now of some forty or fifty huge and
closely-printed volumes; when the winnowing
process is completed—which it will be, if
nothing occurs to interrupt the work, in little
more than two years—these forty or fifty
volumes will be reduced to four or five. Nine-
tenths of the statute-book will have disap-
peared, containing a mass of obsolete and re-
pealed and expired enactments; while every
act in operation, and most of them in an im-
proved and consolidated form, will be retained.
As a proof that the work has already made
material progress, we may mention that the
whole of the criminal law has been consoli-
dated into eight different bills, all of which
are now ready to be laid before Parliament.
These bills will embody all the existing pro
visions of hundreds of previous enactments,
scattered at random through the statute-book.
The same operation is being performed with
the mercantile law, and the law of real pro-
perty, both of which subjects we understand
are nearly completed. The preparation of
these consolidation bills is intrusted to cer-
tain members of the Bar selected fur the task;
but the still more responsible duty of revision
and general superintendence is undertaken by
Sir FITZROY KELLY, at whose suggestion, and
through whose untiring efforts, this great
work was commenced. He has been power-
fully assisted in his labours by Lord WENSLEY-
DALE, by the late Chief Justice Jl:fly's, and by
Mr. GREAVES.

We sincerely trust that nothing may occur
to retard the progress of this truly national
work. If Sir FITZROY KELLY succeeds in com-
pleting the task he has so auspiciously begun,
he will have earned the title of the greatest of
our law reformers, for he will accomplish that
which the most eminent of our jurists and
legislators never previously ventured to
attempt.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 24, 1857.

POSTSCRIPT.

RUSSIA.

A Russian squadron, consisting of three screw cor•
vettes and tour steam gunboats, is in the roadstead
of Copenhagen. The destination of this squadron is
the Amour river.

The Russian screw frigate Askold, of 360 horse-
power, carrying sixteen guns and a crew of four hun-
dred and seventy men, has arrived at Kiel. Her
destination is Japan.

THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S HEALTH.

The private accounts of his Majesty's health
received from Potsdam are even legs favourable
than the bulletins, which scarcely exhibit an im-
provement.
A letter from Berlin of the 19th, in the Elberfeld
Gazette, says :

We learn on good authority that the royal ordinance
which is to confer the temporary direction of affairs of
State on the Prince of Prussia will be signed to-day or to-
morrow, the King being now well enough to be spoken to
on the subject without any danger.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 17th, in the Bceroen-
halle of Hamburg, says •—" Several conferences
have taken place during the last few days at the
house of Baron de Werner, Under Secretary of State,
at which Sir H. Seymour and Prince Kallimaki were
present. The object of them, we are informed on
good authority, was to deliberate on some very
important communication received from England.
It may be seen that the affairs in India are im-
proving from the fact of England renouncing the
political tergiversations of which she has lately
given proof in the question of the Principalities.
Her policy has resumed a firmer character. There
is no longer any rea-on to fear that the English
Cabinet will abandon the Porte, or that Austria will
remain singlehanded to defend the rights of the
Sultan."

The Moniteur contains a decree promoting Gen.
Camou to the rank of Grand Cross of the Legion of
Honour, and Generals de Sevelinges, de Faitly,
Cler, and Baron Marion, and Colonels Desaint,
Polhes, de Waubert, de Geniis, Dubos, Montandon,
and de Grimaudet do Rechebonet, to that of com-
mander. Other decrees promote forty-three officers
of different ranks to be officerA in the same order,
nominate 441 officers, non-commissioned officers,
and privates to be knights, and confer thirty-eight
military medals.

The Ripon, with the heavy portion of the East
India and China mails, arrived at Southampton on
Thursday morning, with 170 passengers, among
whom were some refugees from Delhi.

THE PRER'g, OCTOBER 24, 1857.

Scarcely had Mr. Fairbairn ceased speaking when,
moved by an involuntary impulse, a tremendous peal
of cheering arose from all parts of the building. It
was renewed again and again—sometimes for the
executive committee en masse, sometimes for Mr.
Fairbairn—sometimes for Mr. Deane, the general
commissioner, but always hearty—always warm and
general, and accompanied by such an enthusiastic
waving of hats and handkerchiefs as would have
moved the most impassive. The united bands, too,
seemed carried away by the same fervour, and gave
vent to their feelings in another grand repetition of
the National Anthem. But when this was over,
prodigal of applause as if they bad never cheered
before, the shouts of enthusiasm and farewell broke
out as loud as ever. Suddenly they ceased, and the
crowd made a general set towards the place of exit,
which nevertheless very few went out of, but, as if
loth to quit the building for ever, almost as suddenly
came back again, wandering about the wide saloons,
and casting long, lingering glances on the great col-
lection, which none could hope to see again assembled
—at least in Manchester. Then, after a few fluctua-
tions, the great tide of visitors set steadily out. For
a time the current flowed evenly enough, but some
3,000 or 4,000 visitors displayed such an anxious
desire to be the last to quit the building, that, in
order to prevent a trial of patience, which might have
proved too much even for the patience of those
" much enduring men," the executive committee, it
was necessary to prevent those who had once left
from again returning. Thus slowly the great mass
was edged towards the door amid continued outbursts
of cheering for the executive committee, Mr. Fair-
bairn, and Mr. Deane, until the gates closed upon
the last of the 1,300,000 visitors who in ail have
visited the Exhibition. Thus, then, the Manchester
Exhibition of Art Treasures was finally closed after
a brilliant and famous career. The admissions since
the opening in May have been as follows (as nearly
as the retains can be obtained) :

The financial result will not be known for some
time to come. There are people who anticipate a
deficit of 10,000/., but the more sanguine think that
should the building fetch a good price the receipts
from all sources will nearly, if not quite, cover the
entire outlay.

MOVEABLE COLUMNS.

We have been given to understand, writes the
Poonah Observer, that three Moveable Columns are
to be formed in this Presidency—one in thrzerat,
another in Scinde, and the third in the Deccan, the
head-quarters of which will be at Poonah. The Dec-
can Column will consist of two siege trains, one
troop of Horse Artillery, two field batteries with
Europeans attached, one regiment of Dragoons, one
regiment Native Light Cavalry, one regiment Scinde
Horse, three European Infantry regiments, three
companies of Sappers, one Native Infantry regiment,
and a Belooch battalion,

It is expected that the column at Poonah will be
formed here in November, and all three will move
towards the north west, itajpootana and the Niaatn'i
country. A land transport corps will be attached to
each column, and the whole will form the "avenging
bray of Ole pot bay P 001411719

The Deccan moveable column will, fve understand,
be commanded by Brigadier-General John Jacob,
C. 8., and will be organised under the immediate
supervision of his Excellency Sir Henry Somerset,

RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY.

THIC letter written by Lord ELLENBOROUGH to
the Win3hcomb Agricultural Association on
the subject of our military prospects in India
is characterised by all that massive sense and
breadth of comprehension for which his Lord-
ship's mind is remarkable.
Lard ELLENBOROUGH looks straight away,
far over all that factitious and ephemeral ex-
citement which marks the columns of the
London press, into the realities of our Indian
future. He knows that our anticipations of
a triumph, at once speedy and permanent, are
as ill-grounded as our indignation at past
atrocities is misdirected. He knows that
whatever brilliant exploits may be performed
and whatever semblance of tranquillity re-
gained under our existing management, no
stable settlement of the Indian empire can be
hoped for until the magnitude of the task
before us is more fully comprehended by the
country—until all classes shall perceive that
the pacification of this mighty region is not to
be the work of a few years, but of an entire
generation ; and shall rouse themselves in
consequence to corresponding efforts
It is, of course, towards our military effi-
ciency that the exertion of Englishmen must
in the first instance be directed. And the
question is how, not merely to send out some
fifty or sixty thousand troops to India at the
present moment, but how to keep up that steady
influx of soldiers which will be demanded for
very many rears to come. Some weeks ago
we directed the attention of our readers to this
very point, and we are happy to see that it is
now taken up by Lord ELLENBOROUGH, and set
forth with his accustomed perspicuity. How
are we to support a constant drain of soldiers
for the next quarter of a century?
The Duke of CAMBIIIDOX tells us that re-
cruiting is proceeding briskly, and that 800

LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL,
Prescribed by the most eminent Medical Practitioners as the
most speedy and effectual remedy for
CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, GOUT, RHEU-
MATISM, SCIATICA, DIABETES, DISEASES OF E
SKIN, NEURALGIA, RICKETS, INFANTILE WASTING,
GENERAL DEBILITY, AND ALL SCROFULOUS

AFFECTIONS,
Contains iodine, phosphate of lime. volatile fatty acids—in
short, all the most essential curative properties—ill much larger
quantities than the Pale Oils manufactured in Great Britain and
Newfoundland, mainly deprived of these by their mode of pre-
paration.
The well-merited celebrity of Dr. de .Tongli's Oil is attested by
its extensive use in France, Germany, Russia, Holland, and Bel-
gium, by numerous spontaneous testimonials from distinguished
members of the Faculty and scientific Chemists of European re-
putation, and, since its introduction into this country, by the
marked success with which it has been prescribed by the Me-
dical Profession.
In inuumerable cases, where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil had
been taken with little or no benefit, it has produced almost im-
mediate relief, arrested. disease, and restored health.

I should say, taking guns from Dinapore knit now. Nine
officers of the mutinied regiments at Dinapore accompany
Outram, to act, I believe, as mounted staff. When the
fleet was opposite Chupra, the collector and magistrate
came off in a boat, with the intelligence that the Ghootkas
at Goruckpore were surrounded by Nana Singh with a
large army and guns, and the Uhoorkas showed a dis.
position to bolt. This intelligence was, I believe, con.
veyed in a native letter ; for my part I can hardly believe
that 5,000 Ghoorkas would allow themselves to be
quietly surrounded. However, General Outram fired a
gun to bring all steamers to, and after a good deal of
backing and filling the James Hume was ordered to pro.
teed as rapidly as possible to Buser, take on board Eyre's
battery and the detachment of Fusiliers (that will arrive
from Arrah), get seven days' provisions for the fleet, and
return to the mouth of the tiogra, and follow the fleet up
that river, which it was to go up as far as it could ; but though
this has not been countermanded, the whole fleet are still
going on, and the Gogra is left far astern. So I suppose
the idea has been abandoned. It seems to me it would have
been great folly to have ca►ried out these intentions, as
the Gogra channel is not known. There are no pilots nor
coal, and many strong forts, with heavy guns mounted
on the banks. The Madras brought down intelligence
from Allahabad that people from Oude are crossing over
to that place in hundreds. This looks fishy. The way
the 9th Regiment have been knocked about, is the most
extraordinary of all. They were first ordered to go to
Allahabad. When they had got some way they were told
to stop at Iluxar ; they were then ordered back to Dina.
pore, and when they had nearly reached that place they
were told to go back again. Who issued these orders I
don't know, but they seem to me most malapropos. When
a few days may be of such importance to Havelock,
twelve days and an immense amount of coal have been
thus wasted.

Lucknow is, I believe, still unrelieved. Koer Singh, I
fancy, has been too severely handled ever to return ; but
to the admirers of the now disarmed Dinapore regiments
Government may look as the men who have lost them
Behar (for lost it is at preaentl, the most fertile province
of India too, which is said to pay a seventh of the revenue
of Bengal. How much for the opium sales next year and
the year after time will show. It is quite certain there is
no use in sending small armies to Lucknow. Witness
Havelock's force—a braver, better, or better handled army
never marched. but impossibilities cannot be accomplished.
A large army should be assembled at Allahabad, say 5,000
men, with three complete batteries—cavalry, alas ! is not
to be had—this would relieve Dicknow. rhe force could
be augmented by the Lucknow troops, and could then be
marched to the relief of the Delhi force.—Hurkara.

at a banquet at. Wick. In the course of his speech
upon the occasion Lord John Hay denied that the
Indian revolt had been foreseen or predicted. He de-
fended the rule of the Company, and he thought that
the charge made against the Indian Government of
gross acts of spoliation and annexation had been
made only by those "not sufficiently acquainted with
the question " ; for, continued the noble lord," though
it is not to be denied that considerable annexations
have taken place, the people have greatly benefited
by the change, and no annexation has taken place

THE MONSTER CANNON, the patented invention,
we believe, of Major Blakely of the Royal Artillery,
has been conveyed to Woolwich-marsh for experi-
ments, and subjected to a series of preliminary proofs
by the firing of seven corresponding 36-inch shells,
the minimum charge of powder, 10Ib., being increased
at the progressive rate of 101 b. until the fifth shot,
when the charge was doubled, and the seventh and
last was increased to 1501 b. The result was as fol-
lows :--First charge, 101 b., over a range of 230 yards,
the shell being embedded about five feet in the solid
earth ; second, 201 b., 500 yards ; third, 301 b., about
780 yards; fourth, 401 b., 1,500 yards; fifth, 501 b.,
about an equal distance with the last. The sixth
charge, containing 1001 b. of powder, obtained a flight
of about 2,250 yards, and the last, amounting to 1501 h.,
passed some distance beyond the butt, and was
buried to an immense depth in the earth. The ex-
periments were considered extremely satisfactory,
and are to be continued on some future day with
heavier charges of powder, and in the presence of
Lords Panmure and Palmerston.

The Third West York Militia, now assembled at
Doncaster, are upwards of 800 strong, and are daily
receiving recruits. As soon as the men receive their
full equipments they are to be sent to either Alder-
shott or Plymouth.
It is intended to increase the Second Regiment of
Warwickshire Militia to 1,500 men. Soma of the
officers have offered fur Indian service.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1857.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL expressed his conviction
at the dinner given to him at Birmingham on
Thursday week, that in January or February
next, when Parliament met, we should have
the assurance that the sanguinary mutiny
and rebellion in India had been entirely sup-
pressed. He based this conviction on the
number of reinforcements which are already
pouring in from our colonies and from the
United Kingdom. There is no doubt that
when all these are assembled we shall have an
immense force of Europeans quite able to
put down all opposition that they may meet
with ; but as we may be sure that the rebels
will not be so considerate as to come down to
the landing-place at Calcutta to be destroyed
by them, they will have to seek the rebels and
get at them as they can. The policy of the
latter will probably be, as it has been hitherto,
to leave them undisputed masters of the
ground, unless when they judge them to be in
such numbers as may safely be attacked and
destroyed ; returning and reoccupying the
spot, if there be anything left to plunder, when
our soldiers have moved on. In short, we
may expect a long and a very trying cam-
paign. Our well-known resolution to give no
quarter to the rebels leaves them no choice but—
like every animal, whether man or beast, that
knows his pursuers have doomed him to de-
struction—to make the best play for their
lives they can. It is only tame deer that
allow themselves to be captured and
carted when they think that they and their
pursuers have run long enough. No doubt
the King of DELHI would be glad to get out of
the scrape if he could ; for he cannot escape
with all his wives and children and treasures
and comforts about him when Delhi falls.
We fear, however, that they who construe
messages from the King of DELHI into signs
of early submission on the port of the Sepoys
reckon without their host. There is, in fact,
nothing to prevent the latter leaving Delhi
without asking us permission when they
please. If they could march out en masse
several miles to attack Brigadier NICHOLSON,
and afterwards return to Delhi at their leisure.
it must he clear that as fur as egress and
ingress are concerned they are masters of the
situation, and have as regards that matter
nothing to fear from us. Lord JOHN will
probably find that what holds good of the
navy holds good of the army as well ; and that
a stern chase is always a long chase, more
especially when, as will be the case in this
instance, it is a chase by line-of-battle ships of
a host of inferior but much lighter craft. In
ordinary wars the mere vindication of supre-
macy usually terminates the contest, and that
in India was always a comparatively easy task
But where we have to pursue and cut up
thousands of rebels on all sides over a space
of some hundreds of thousands of square miles,
the term of three months is rather short for the

hibited at this early period is not very
reassuring, more particularly when we re-
member what a similar spirit led to at Cabul
when the outbreak occurred. In any case, it
is likely to prove a great impediment to the
speedy settlement of the rebellion which Lord
Joni; RUSSELL has staked his credit on. nail
proper counsels prevailed, in the outset, snob
an early suppression of it might not hay,
been impossible; but with a (18.0 fling abd
Vernon Smith for the drivers of the India
state-coach, we must not expect to progress
either at a very safe or at a very rapid rate.
Each probably knows just as much about the
business as he does about the driving of a
railway locomotive ; and if the country chooses
therefore to leave itself to their guidance, it
,must not be surprised at any accidents that
may occur.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS.

NORWIC u, Friday.
At an early hour this morning the Ontario, of
Shields, a full rigged vessel of 700 or 800 tons, struck
on the Barber Sands, off Great Yarmouth, and
became a total wreck. The mate was picked up by
the Calstor beachtnen. It is believed that he is the
only survivor, and that the captain, his wife, and
twenty-two other persons were drowned.
It is also reported that another vessel went down
during the gale which prevailed on Thursday night,
with all hands lost.

most incontestable proof that the Conserva-

present crisis but those of justice and pa-

Why say so much about supporting the

failed to support Government in an emer-
gency like the present ? But because we sup-
port, it does not follow that we may not criti-
cise; and bemuse vigorous action Is necessary
now, it does not follow that we may not inves-

shall have ceased. HonAcE lauded those who

THE CHOLERA.—The recent outbreak of cholera
at Stratford has been inquired into by the officers of
health. Their report has not yet appeared, but the
general impression is that bad water and worse
drainage were the immediate causes of this outbreak
of disease. Since the 2nd of October fifteen cases
have occurred, of which seven have proved fatal.
General district meetings are being held to consider
the propriety of at once adopting precaut onary mea•
sures. Meanwhile, the public health continues good ;
1,003 deaths were registered last week, being
upwards cf 100 below the average. The births ex-
ceeded the deaths by 7872.
