EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TT:MOAT EVINING.

The rumen of the electoral demonstration in Paris
against despotic government has fur surpassed the
most sanguine expectations that the frienda of liberty
had allowed themselves to entertain. Two oppoid-
tion candidates, MM. Carnet and Goudehaux, are
elected by enormous majorities. Cavaignac is at
the head of the poll, and although his election is
nut detinithe, owing to his not having obtained an
" absolute majority "—that is to say, more votes than
the totality of those given in favour of any other
names, there can be no doubt of his being elected
at the second trial on Sunday weiik. In the fourth
circumscription, the rival opposition candidates, E.
Olivier and Gamier Pawls, obtained between them
within 143 votes of the score of the govern-
ment candidate, M. Varin. In the seventh,
M. Lanquetin, the government candidate, had
but 236 more votes than those given to MM. Dari-

mon and Jules Bastide. In both these latter cir-
cumscriptions the bare majority of the government
candidates is insufficient, and there must be new
elections. It cannot be doubted that MM. Gamier
Fag4s and Betide will retire, and then there will
be every prospect of the election of MM. Olivier and
Darimon. Should these hopes be realised, out of
the ten seats far Paris five will have been gained
by the opposition ; and it is to be observed besides
that in the second circumscription M. Bethmont
ran M. Dcvinck very bard, being beaten by only
10,472 against 9,070. There are 333,969 registered
electors in Paris, and the government, notwithstand-
ing its immense influence and the extraordinary
efforts it has used, has only been able
to poll 110,325 votes, or considerably less
than one-third of the whole number. The total
number at prevent known of votes given to the op-
position candidates is 96,319, but this number will
be considerably augmented by the addition of the
odd votes given according to individual fancy to
people not regularly in the field, and which are
called " lost votes." Some votes also will have been
given to Led= Rollin and other refugees, and of
those no return will be made. It will therefore
turn out that, in one way or another, the number of
opposition and government bulletins actually depo-
sited in the ballot-boxes was pretty nearly equal.
Then, bearing in mind the fact announced by M.
Hausmann in his circular of June 21, that certain
parties had adopted abstention as a system
of opposition tactics, we arrive at the con-
clusion that the majority of the inhabitants of Feria
are dissatisfied with the political institutions under
which they live. Considering the opposition move-
ment was got up late in the day, under enormous
difficulties, in the office of two journals, the Sleek
and the Preu,e, it is really marvellous that the
pronunciamento should have assumed such exten-
sive proportions.
The official result of the Paris elections will be
declared et the Hotel de vino on Thursday. The
new elections in the three circumscriptions where
the majority is not absolute must take place pur-
suant to law on the Sunday week following the
proclamations.
From the departments the news is as favourable
to government as was expected, perhaps even more
so. The only opposition candidates elected, so far
as is yet known, are M. Cure at Bordeaux, Dr.
Henna at Lyons, and M. Potion at Amiens. Gen.
Cavaignac has not been elected in any of the de-
partments. M. de Montalembert is beaten in the

M. Bertron, the eccentric candidate for all the
circumscriptions of l'aris, whose address, though less
read than any other, is so extensively placarded as
to have led to the suspicion that the government
must have paid his printer's bill, with a view to
throw ridicule upon attempts at opposition, was ar-

suing the humble avocafion of distributing his own
handbills in the street. lie had, it seems, omitted
to have his circulars duly stamped, and therefore
was pounced upon by the sergents de vine and con-
signed to durance vile.
At the Bourse the result of the Paris elections
produced a little uneasiness; but this feeling was in
great measure counterbalanced by the triumphant
tone of the government despatches from the depart-
ments. The Rente fell 15e. for cash, and sc. for
account, closing at 6Rfr. 50c. and 68fr. 70c. Mobi-
Ikr fell Mr. The Mediterranean Railway rose 13c.,

THE EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE.
(THIS LAY.)

This morning the final meeting of the above con -
femur. was held in Willis's Rooms. The etas:dance, which
included many ladies, was of an influential character.
Amongst the gentlemen present were Sir Harry Verney,
Bart. M.P., Archdeacon Thorp, the Doan of Salisbury, the
Dean of Brittle], Mr. Edward Chadwick, Mr. E. Hiatt, Sir
Archibald Aileen, Bart., Sir John Pekingtoo, Bart. M.P.,
the Bishop of Oxtail, the Bishop of Durham, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Kinnard, the Right Hon. W.
Cowper, M.P., Mr. Samuel Morley, and Mr. Robot Owen.
The chair was occupied by the Earl of Gattevazt.
The CHAIRMAN said he bad been reluctant to accept the
humour of presiding over the vnteoing, ea he thought the
el. once should act entirely independent el any Acta party
er psememge. He expected that the greatest good imuld malt
been the labours of the conference, bat the real moors of
the movement depend upon the tone of the resolutions to be
adopted to day, and he hoped they would be so framed as to
inset with the coneurienie of the vast majority of the per-
sons present. He also treated that the misreading. would be
confined within a retainable space, and that each speaker
In the observations he ehould be plemed to make would in-
cline to the the of mercy. (A laugh.)
The %imp of Orman, as the chairman of the first /Me-
lion (A), 111•1 the following resolution, mi the report which
that teethe bad mote to; viz.—" let. That in the opinion
of Oda make of the confer.o the greater
sumarar of the children of the working admen in
the spasulawal, manufacturing, and mining die-
tsiete am removed from school when from nine to teu years

season destroys the effect of the education provided for them.
lad. That this section having inquired into the cause of
suet early removal, is of opinion that it is not commonly
to be tiered to the poverty of the parents, but,
in some mason, to objections to the rules of
the school.; in thers, to their impractical character;
in other. to an undervaluing of edwation by went' from the
insumewnry of the eiucation which they themselves re-
ceived, and (as a general rule) to the state of the labour
market, which imparts great value to the labour of children,
and thus lode first, to employers of pimento requiring the la-
bour of the children ; secoudly, to dissolute waits living upon
tho Inwood' the children s labour, thirdly, tothe premature and
the ruinous independence of life and action amongst the very
young, all of which causes lead to the withdrawal of
the children from the school. 3rd. That the section
cannot express these concluaions without adding. that
in its opinion, *hart some protection of children
from too early labour may in certain cases
' become necemacy,tt Is in the Improvement of education by
moral end religious inflonicee rather than by legislation that
the greaten remedy for them evils meat be found." The
right rev. prelate moved the following resolution That
'lt is the omnion of this conference that the pater num-
ber of the children of the working claraes see removed
from school at so early en age a+ seriously to interfere with
their education. That whilst thin conference is precluded
from entering on the question of legislative interference, it
would cell the attention of the friends of education to the
positive amount of good which may be effected as to increas-
mg the ago to which children continue at school by the
Im-
provement of the Pitman themselves, and by bringing morel
end religious influences to bear upon both parents end
children."
Sir JOHN F txmorosr seconded the motion, and observed
that the time for action had wine in the matter of education,
for while we had been talking other nations had been doing.
The great went was an improvement in the quality of the
schools. One practical step towards the extension of educa-
tion would be the adoption of the principle of half time in the
employment of children throng ut the whole country.
The system had been succemfully tested in Nottinghamehire
by Mr. Paget, M.P.,and he hoped eventually to bee it univer-
sally acted upon.
The Manlius of LANADOWNE supported the resolution, and
said that, without indulging in too sanguine hopes as to the
result of this conference, he yet believed it was destined to
be of most essential service to the cause of education. It
wee the first step towards overcoming the ototecles
that beset education, and if, hereafter, it should be found
that is difficult:ea could not be wholly removed, it would be
admitted, at all events, that this conference had pointed out
the way to mitigate them. The noble marquis adverted to a
plan which had been adopted in the printing establialunent
of Messrs. Spottiswoode, whereby education wee com-
bined with labour, and expensed a hope that it
would be generally adoVed by all large employers et
juvenile labour. Burke had said the British constitution
was the work of many minds in many years ; let our great
',yet.' of education be the work of many minds in one
age. (Cheers.)
Mr. MOHEMT OWEN IriAbedl.o move an amendment to the
resolution of the Baum of Oxford.
The CHAIRMAN sEked Mr. Owen to put his amendment
in writing, so that he might see whether it was relevant to
the original reeolution. 'rhis having been done, the chair-
man continued by remarking that the effect:would be that
the meeting would adept a propose] which Mr. Owen word
make. (A laugh.)
The meeting having refused to bear Mr. Owen upon such
an amendment, he mid he would put it in a more definite
form; but the Cu.tauns ruled that he mune", out of order.
The oaatimin min thee put and carried unanimnualy.
The Right Hon. W. Cowrae, M.P., reported that section
B had resumed ma —"That It appears that in Ger-
many and Switrerland the reguittions in form have produced
a miry general attendance in primary schools en the part of the
children of the la

rious moneires adopted in Central and Northern Europe for

Kr. Actaorn, M.P., seconded the reeantion, and said he
wee bound to admit that the difficulties in the way of edit-
eating factory children had ',prong not from the parent but
the employer. He believed the remit of the conference
weld be the adoption by the legislature of some large and
practical system of general education.

He moved the followime resolution for the adoption of the
meeting ,—" That reparation certificates and prize whams
