LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 30.

As the minutes of the Council of Education become
mere generally known, the ministerial measures find
a large increase of advocacy, and a sensible diminu-
tion of hostility. Condemnatory resolutions were
proposed in the Town Council of Hull. but they were
rejected by a majority of two to one, and the follow-
ing series, warmly approving the measure, adopt,,d
in their stead :
I. That this council, haying had its attention drawn to
the late minutes of the Committee of Privy Council on Edu-
cation, rejoices to learn, that her Majesty's government is
deeply impressed with the duty of providing the means of a
sound moral education for the ch.ldren of all classes of the
people, without respect to creed, sect, or party, as propoad
in the plan embodied in the minutes aforesaid—a plan
which council gratefully accepts and corlially supports as an
excellent instalment of a still more comprehensive measure.
" 2. That considering that sums to an amount exceeding
twenty millions sterling, are annually voted to defray the war
and criminal expenses of this country ; and regarding the
necessity of an annual appeal to parliament, as the best safe-
guard against abuse in the application of any portion of tLe
public income, this Council prefers that the money required
for the purposes of education—even to the amount of two

~na—should be the subject of en annual vote, rather
than be embodied in a bill, which would remove the grant
beyond the direct control of the people and their representa-
tives in parliament.
" 3. That while this Council regards with the utmost
jealousy any extension of the irresponsible power and patro-
nage of the Crown, it views, not only without distrust, but
with entire approbation and general thankfulness, the multi-
plication of schools and school teachers, the provisions pro-
posed to be made for inculcating habits of juvenile industry,
and the prospects of advancement held forth to pupils distin-
guished for scholastic attainments and high moral conduct.
Believing that many of the vices and most of the miseries
that keep the poor in a state of moral and physical bondage
proceed wholly from ignorance, thit council recogaiws in the
plan of national education, partially develop:ld by the pre-
sent government, the enlightened policy of a really-liberal
administration, Intent on increasing the happiness and per-
petuating the liberties of the people. And that, femme&
as the effect of an increase of national education mat midst-
rally tend to improve the condition of the working dews,
and consequently render them more independent, the ru-
moured alarm about the liberties of the people of this manu-
try being endangered by any number of schooisigniMti
school-assistants, school-apprentices, and school-impels%
is utterly groundless and absurd.
" 4. that the townelerk of this borough be instructed be
draw up • memorial, embracing the substance of the forego•
ing resolutions, to be forwarded, with the corporation's semi
Milled, to the Lord President of the Committee of the Privy
Council on Education; and that printed copies thereof be
sent by the town-clerk, on behalf and in the name of this
council, to the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, and the 'honourable mem-
ben for this borough."
We approve these candid and judicious resolutions,
because they lay amide all considerations of church
and sect, and place the question on its right basis,
the general advantage of the entire community. It is
to us inexpressibly painful to fled men seriously
contending that the state should only be known
to the working classes of England as a con-
strainer, an avenger, and a punisher, and that
it must never present itself to them as a
guide, a protector, and an instructor. Until the
present yew, it was received as an aphorism that
