Ten 130TENNYINT EDUCATION ELAN ILO obtained the
rapport of the Liberals of Exeter. The Reform As-
sedation of that city met last week, when a spirited
discussion ensued. The following resolution was adopted
unanimously :—" That this association, while fully recog-
nising the important» of moral and religious instruction, feel
strongly oonvineed•or the necessity of a national secular edu-
cation, and deeplyregret that sectarian preJudiCes should
shimsjskiterto prevented the accomplishment of so desirable
ass instrument in the suppression of crime, and the various
social evils ble from an ignorant population." It
was also resolved that the substance of the fore-
gain r be embodied in a petition to the House of
000111601/1, and that the members of the dity be requested to
present and etitt its prayer. A committee was accord-
ingly appointed lot that objeet.

SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, MAACK 16.

The Olasgato Constitutional is accusing government
of mat-administration of the crown ecclesiastical
patronage, and hints somewhat broadly that it is
worked so as to promote Free Church views ; which
is a simple absurdity. Only one member of govern-
ment belongs to the community in question, and many
proof" could be given of an attention to the business of
his own department too strict to admit of mach inter-
ference with the arrangements of the Home-office. On
the accession of a new ministrY, the practice is to
select a leading clergyman in the Mirth of Scotland
for the purpose of consultation in regsvd to the filling
up of vacant livings in the gift of the Drown-Irre-
sponsible power, betrayer, is not given to the clerical
referee, as political considerations have their influence
in such appointlnents ; and as political and e.-elesilue.
deal predilections will not always point to et' same
individual, occasional jarrings will take place. • The
Constitutional, doubtless, refers to the crown appo2nt-
meats to the parishes of Oirvan and Tarbert, both ef
which appear to have been made without pre-
vious consultation with the pariahionera. This
the letter of the law certainly does not demand, but
usage and good policy would as undoubtedly have
dictated it. That the omission, however, proceeds
from any intentional hostility to the established
Church is altogether out of the question.
The food rioting at Wick has ceased, and grain is
being shipped without exciting disturbance. The
soldiers are also leaving. A great many labourers
are removing from Wick and the adjoining districts,
for the purpose . of obtaining railway employment,
under the auspices of the Edinburgh Destitution
Committee.

Leith 18 about to export grain to Antwerp, the re-
verse process having taken place only a short time
ago. Letters have also been received from Rotter-
dam, urging the Leith merchants to ship wheat for
that port.
The salmon fishings in the Tweed and Tay are re-
presented as most unproductive.
