SURREY.
The performances at this theatre opened with a
romantic drama, in three no., by the author of " The flu
oretary," " Tbe Adveaturer, or Plots La Spain."
It missists of the attempts of Piquilkt Alikigis (Mr. Cies-
wick), an adventurer, to discover Ms real lather. He is
thrown into most awkward sitaatinas, sad at length becomes
mime aicieter of Spain, having obtained the object of his
wish.,. This ploy wee followed, for the smoggiest of the
holiday folks, by a burlesque celled " The Them Felucca."
The story tares spas the attempt of three primes to mem
the daughter of a king et no very gnus mental pretatirom
from a souls evil genius who detains her in a fortified
dwelling no ens knows where. Two of the primes fail
is their attempt, hot PT keg? Faithful being as-
sisted by a fairy, ultimately delivers the primer,
acd, as is usual, receives her hand in return.
This novelty shown& in plitical repartees, all taking the
liberal side, MU* were wall received by the audience. It
may he eampared to the introductory Mlles of a eantotaisie
wifkost the subsequent changes into the pantomimicel cha•
reefers. We saw.' particul.rly notice the last scene of the
abode of the Fairy Court on the Like of Gems,
the brilliancy of which has seldom bean exceeded
on any stage.

ASTLEYS.
Mr. Batty's Barter Lovelty is entitled the " Four
Sons of Aymos ; or the Days of Charlemagne." The plot
of the piece may be thus told. A swain Count Mauve
(Mr. Crowther) hula, assassinated Came Arnow, suer
the belief that the count had married a lady as whom his
(Count Masigia) affections were placed, is animated by the
most bitter tulips of hatred towards the four Pons whom
the count hal left behind his, and determines,
by y means in hie power, to lease their
&erection. The better to offset his (inject, he
consults a neausanser, who informs him the.
neither E.rth, Air, Fire, or Water, can conquer the foie
eons of Arson, but that they OM alone be subdued by
the influence of certain passion* which have power over
them. Riciterd, ft* eldest son (Mr. G. Belem) is given to
gaming; Mooed (Mr. N. T. Heckel, the second son, is en.
tirely under the effect of the tender passion of love ; Raul
dUr. Ltwrence). the third eon of the count, is given to
rinking ; sad Renaud, the fourth and last son, is of a most
quarrelsome and warlike disposition. The peculiar pas.
eons existing is the minds of the four sons of
Cowrie Arms are brought into active operation throsoh
the agency of the four demon', of Loos, of It'or, of Gaming,
and of Irene, who act under the orders of Count Masegis.
Exactly twenty years after the day upon which the mutter
of the four sons of the Count ka4 married their father
she summons them to her presence, and informs them
that there is a certain lady named Welts (Miss E.
Lovedsy), who, although she is living as a poison girl,
is actually the &whirr of the great Emperor Charle-
magne, aid makes her sons swear that they will restore her
to her father. To this they agree, and the wife of
twee Ayreow then aouustosieatas to her sons the fact that
she is an immortal spirit who had assumed the human form
for the space of twenty years only, and that that time
having expired she mot return to her immortal state,
which she dies aesordingly. However, before she deparu
this world, she gives each of her sons a ring, which is to
have the effect of protecting them aesinst the attacks of
Count Mosixis, who employs espernatsral limey to
further his designs. Tot four eons of Agin** tun pro-
ceed to the Valley of Aosee, where they dinover
Odette, with whom, we should state, Coast Roland bed
previously fallen in love, not knowing her to be toe daughter
of the Emperor. After encountering several difficulties
thrown in their way by Count Maui., and rescuing Odette
Iran beiag sold as a slave in the market at Bagdad,
whither she had been conveyed by the maohinetions of the
Count, two of the son cf Aymon—Richard and Roland
present her before Charlemagne, when her identity is proved
beyond ail doubt, althoegh Count Maugie has brought forward
a daughter of his own, whom he has endeavoured to make
the Emperor believe is Me (the Emperor's) own child.
Count itaugis finding his fraud is diecovered, attempts to
murder Charlemagne, but is slain by the four sons of
Aeolian, and thu the piece ends with a tablets, amid loud
apples's.

Tna INDCBTIMAL EXHIBITION OF 1831.—A meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Smthampten was held yesterday,
at the ClaildhaN, nesided over by the Mayor the borough
(Richard Andrew*, E'en.), to appoint a local committee to
act is conjunction with the royal oomosiesionen for promot-
ing the greed Exhibition of Industry, and to adopt measures
to raise tunds and ensure an effective representation of the
industry of this locality at the intended Exhibition. A
committee was formed to raise saberriptions, and it was
resolved that the workmen in the several large manefacto-
rise in the town should be requested to appoint a represen-
tative of their own from each factory to act on the local
committee, sad mat them in their objects.
Ma. SHAW' AND TENANT RlOTlT.—Yes'erday, at
the monthly meeting of the London Farmers' Club, held
at the Club rooms, lEarkfriers, the subject of tenant right
wee intro .need by Mr. Shaw, and discasiod at cosaiderable
length. At the close of the discussion the following resole-
tics was agreed to unanimously, " That in case of mina-
time between the landlord, or the iaeomiaa tenant, and the
outgoing tenant, justice to the parties say be amply secured
by defining is the agreement the peeled ever which the claim
for compensation should extend, the operations or articles
for which the tenant should be entitled to claim, and, as far
as postible, the nature of the evidence which should be fur-
slatted to the valuers in ease of reference cr arbitration."
A service of plate, subscribed for by tenant farmers, was
then presented to Mr. Shaw by Mr. Hughes, on behalf of
the club, in as address highly eulogistic of his able, eon.
sisteat, and persevering advocacy of tenant right during the
last seven years. Oa a salver there was the following in-
scription " Telma right. —To William Shaw, Esq., as a
mark of esteem sad admiration for the weer in which he
hes so loeg and ably advocated the tenant fusser'* rights,
this token is offered by some of thole friends who appreciate
the condeet of the man and the justice of the cause." In
hie reply, Mr. Shaw stated that, highly sehe appreciated
this testimonial of respect he felt that the best reward of
his exertions would be the establishment of tenant right
throughout the country.
EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIT6-0110 of the loco-
motives belongieg to the London and North Western Rail-
way " blew up," on Tuesday last, under somewhat
extraordinary circumstances. The accident took place upon
what Is celled Wolverton Bank, just beyond the locomotive
workshops, a few minutes alter six o'clock in the morning.
The driver had, with the assistance of another person, been
reversing the engine—the gear working very stiff—and was
about to give the engine steam, in order to push a luggage.
engine out of the way, when the boiler burst with terrific
violence. Nearly 25 cwt. of the shell was thrown over some
buildings, and to a distance of about 200 yards, and the
engine dome, weighing some five hundred weight, was
thrown about 300 yards in another direction. Two or thus
wheels M the engine were forced off by the explosion. The
Brehm wee not torn asunder, and to its withstanding the
shock is to be ascribed the miraculous escape of the driver
and kis assistant, who wen on the footplate.

ti;114;; J. F. TUCKER rose to move the fleet mina
tia, sad proceeded to speak for • time amidst vest elamenr,
but towards the eines obtained • better beans', and was
mace cheered. He said—Mr. Mayer, Engliamea, sad
fellow citizens: It Is at the request of others that I occupy
the plus in which I stand this mooning. I have yielded to
their request, not from any pleasure I have in engagemeste
like the Dreamt, bat from a stroag sense of duty. (Hear,
hear) My pl , indeed, would be very much dimi-
nished by the remembrance that I stand here la opposition
to many whom I namely respect and love; but I do feel
it • oresslag ditty to aid in decoding a sonety which, if not
wilfully anarepreunted, has ban greatly misundirstood. I
will not stay to prove that there is a vast amount of ignorant*
amongst the masses by whom we are surrounded. The
proof of that I lave to those statistic* of education
with which the public has been plentifully supplied.
(Hear, hear.) Now, here is • scheme which pro-
fesses to contribute something to the enlightenment of
this dense ignorance, and it proposes to do so in a most
comprehensive manner—not crowding schools together at
select parts of the town, and laving the most needy die-
tricts in utter destitati .n, but bringing everywhere the sup-
, ply most homes the uneasily. It proposes to do so also
in the manner best suited to our British independence. It
retains the municipal *lt sent of our coestitution ; ad,
instead of entrusting the support and management of schools
to the whim of the ministry of the day, or to committees
of privy council, it *treats the support and management
to the people themselves. (Ohara.) Niw these I regard
as cardinal advantages belonging to our system. I know no
other s) stens that has been ever tried, in any way present
advantages such es these. (Hear, neer.) And there I' one
other advantage which, for myself, I cannot prize too highly.
Under this system nothing will be taught in the schools but
what all men must acknowledge to be true. (Hear, hear.) !
There will be no danger of one man teaching one doctrine in '
one school, and of another men teaching en opposite doctrine
in another. (Cheers.) There will be no danger of one
schoolmaster enforcing the creed of Mr. Gotham, and earlier
the creed of the Bishop of Elan. (Loud cheers.) I ask
those who take the trouble to hear me whether this is no
advantage. For my own put, I hold it se a great principle
that no part of the buds to which all anti ihute should go
to the support of opinions from which any conseiertiously
dissent. Under this system there will be committed no in-
justice such as this. All that would be taught in these
schools would be such as we should all agree spas. (Hear,
heal Bat I am met with an objection—en objection
put most fearlessly, moat diligently, most unwesriedly
by the reverend canon on the platform by my side. Of that
gentleman I desire to speak with sincere respect; widely as I
differ from him in some things, I can hold cordial commu-
nion with him upon many others, and I hope for the time

called this scheme a godless, graceless scheme; in one word,
be has called it. irreligious. Now, the questita is, whether this
accusation is corteet. 111 thought thisscheme anfarearable to
religion, I should prefer that my tongue clove to the roof of
my mouth, rather than utter any word is its advocacy. If I
thought this aches. contrary to religion, I would rather leap
over at once to the side of Mr. Stowell, and attempt to echo
his fervent elenuncialoa. (Cheers.) But the question is, is
the accusation correct I would first appeal to reason. Is
it likely that the larrer aequaietance a man obtains with the
works of Ged—for this is the real meaning, after all, of secu-
lar instruction—he will lose any of his reverence for the
name and fur the Word of Gail ? Is it likely that the man
who merely looks at the surface of creation must needs be
the more devout man dun be who penetrates and dives be-
neath ? Is it likely that the workaan will deteriorate in re-
ligious fermi tg just as be becalms in intelligent* to trace the
wonderful affinity ad cohesion that are observable in the
atins' creation ? For myself, Mr. Mayor, I
should be afraid to utter a sentiment such as that.
In my view that sentiment throws discredit on religion
altogether. Once convince me that the more • man obtains
of knowledge, the lee, he is likely to preserve his piety;
once endue me with the teatime nt that ignorance is the
mother of devotion, and whether I choose—(Here the
interruption biome so great that the rev. gentleman was
obliged to resume hie seat for • few minates).
The MAYOR said he mast again earnestly request the
gentlesaa In the back part of the room to endeavour to be
more orehrly. He bad noticed that in a large meetiag, • few
men might make a great disturbance and interraption ; but
he knew also that if the good sense and intelligence of the
meeting were unfavourable to the clamour, and in favour of
the choir, the disturbers of the meeting could easily be
ejected He again appealed to the meeting to listen calmly.

Mr. TUCKER the. proceeded: My friends, I was just
now saying, could you convince me that the more a man ob-
tains of secular knowledge the less he is likely to have of
piety; could you imbue me with the sentiment, that [gno-
mon is the mother of devotion, and then, whether I chose
to retain my ignore:us or no, I should certainly give up my
devotion altogether. But mine is • happier sentiment than
that. As> stem that will not beer light let it perish ; but
that same light which shows the worthlessness of the mare
mock jewellery and mere paste, will aLe skew you the lutes
of the diamond and the beauty of the pearl. There are men,
who, from time to time, rise from this world of ours, and are
regarded as lights of the age ; and the opinions which they
form and promulge on any subject to which they have
given their serious attention, are opinions which we should
Bun to—not indeed with slavish adherence, but with re-
spectful consideration, and when I utter the name of the
late Dr. Chalmers—(hear, bear)—l think I name one of the
lights of the age. None will my that that eminent men was
indifferent to the interests of religion ; and yet what was
his opinion with regard to the matter to consider which we
en met to-day ? A. year or two before the doctor's death
there was groat agitation in the religions body with which
be was connected on this very subject ; and almost the last
words the doctor wrote contained a sentiment to this effect :
that inconsideration of all the difficulties of this much vexed
question, the beet way would be to go to government for a
secular scheme of education, and leave it to the religions de-
nominations to supplement religion. (Loud cheering.)
Now this is what the Lancashire Publics School Society pro-
poses to do; and yet for proposing to do this it is taunted es
irreligious. If you will indulge me, and appeal to fact,
there is no question so truly an English ens as this. How
will the system make any answer to that gelation ? I point
the Englishmen to New England. I point him to that new
country across the water which bears the name of the old,
and where more than two centuries ago a band of men of
whom old England was not worthy, took refuge from the
intolerance of their own home. (Chem.) Hardly had they
(nand the soil around them, hardly bad they provided food
and shelter for their children and their posterity, before they
erected • great scheme of free-school education, which has
grown into magnificence through the two succeeding centu-
ries, and nourishes in full vigour at the present day. Now,
you may ask, how is this scheme regarded by religions men
la New England ? I can give an answer, trots private in-
formation, on authority on which I can fully rely. A friend
of my own last spring went over to New -England, and I
begged kia to make inquiries among a great many religion
men in New England is to the acceptance of what are
there called " common schools." He returned from America
In the antemn, and this was his answer:—" The ccension-
school system has the general confidence of religions men—
(cheers ) ; aad as to its ellects on the toes of society
and morals, this is all I have to my: raise
Lancashire to the level of Massachusetts, and
"l
raise Manchester to the level of Boston, andi
think you do a most patriotic deed." (Hear, hoar.) I men,
therefore, take the liberty to protest aren't the misrepre-
sentations of Mr. Stowell. (Land cheers.) Ido so respect-
fully, but Ido so steadily. If Mr. Stowell will presume to
judge of the motives of those who advents this scheme, let
him beware lest they judge of his motives in opposing it.
(Load cheers.) I for one do not pretend to do so. Mr.
Stowell's Mater and mine has said, " judge sot, that ye be
not judged." (Cheers.) Mr. Mayor, I have done ; and
these being my sentiments I have great pleasure in ending
the petition. I move the following petition, to be alined en
Whaler this aupetieg by his warship the mayor, as chairmen :
. .

" This petition humbly sketwetb,—

The Rev. HUGH STOWELL, MA., then roes amidst
tremendous confusion, and after several ineffectual attempts
to obtain a hearing, eald—Mr. Mayor, I rise to propose an
amendment to the enclitics& which has been submitted to
this meeting, his to the following effect—" That instead of
the petition which has been submitted, the following be the
petition addressed to both houses of parliament, to be signed
by the mayor oa behalf of this meeting: That your peti-
tioners are deeply persuaded that, in order that education
may be of muck avail to a country, it mast be Christian
eduction. (Cheers and hisses) That it is the duty of the
state to provide such education and no other for the children
of the poor in this Christian land; and that they regard
with strong disapproval a bill now before parliament for pro-
aiding secular instruction for the people, without at the same
time securing that it should also be Christian in its character.
(Oh, oh.) Your petitioners therefore pray your honourable
house to reject that bill, and to sanction no measure for the
furtherance of national education which does not make pro-
vision for the moral and religious, as well as the istelleeteal,
culture of the children of the poorer classes." (Cheers and
Mmes.) What I could not approve in the case of my own
family, I would not inflict on the families of my working
brethren (Hear.) I oppose the system of the Lancashire
Public Shoo! &satiation, because I conceive that it is an
utterly inoelequats system as applied to man. (Oh, oh.)
Por man is not simply a being formed for time, but capaci-
tated for eternity ; he is not merely • being who has an intel-
lect to expand, but • heart to culture and moral affections
to be trained, for Gad and for his hied. (Renewed con-
fusion.) Are you afraid of truth? (No.) If you dare not
listen y at are afraid of your cause and are cowards. I em not
afraid to listen to all your arguments ; will you not listen to
mine in return? (Renewed uproar.) We con aids. this scheme
to be objectionable because won* it enures intellectual cul-
ture, it makes no certain provision whatever for spiritual,
morel, and religious cultivation. (Oh, oh, and hisses.)
It provides that the one shall be given, it forbids
that the oasr shall be given. (No, no.) I have ex-
amined the scheme In vain to find that religions instraa
tion is part and parcel of it. It reverses the proper rule of
our conduct in regard to the things of time, ter we are
taught " to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteous-
ness." But the Lancashire Public School Association
appears to me to invert the order, and to say " Seek first the
secular, and afterwards seek the spiritual and the eternal."
(Hear, hear.) I believe that he that knew ma, knew best
the order for man ; and I believe that the glory
and greatness of England (and after all it is
the most glorious nation oc the face of the
earth), and still more the glory and the greatness of Scot-
land, are her scriptur.l schools, and is mainly dee to that
amount of the religious element which has pervaded and
ito largely penetrated the instruction of the children of the
poor. (" Oh," and " Hear.") lam well aware that it is
replied, that the state has only to do with secular instruction.
(Hear, hear) But I have yet to know that the state ought
to be a secular thing; though the state is for time, it is sub-
ject to the God of eternity. There is no power but of God,
and the powers that be are ordained by God; sad if they do
his will they will " nen up • child in the way he should go,
that when he is old he may not depart from it." (Hear.)
But a state has to do with toe civil condition and moral be-
haviours( its subjects. Then,taking that lower grouad,though
I do not abandon the higher, I will meet my opponents
upon that ground, and say—lf • state is boned to educate
its people at ad, it is bound to educate them in the very best
manner. (Hear, hear.) It must educate them in the manner
that will most instil into their hearts sound principles— which
will most lead them to obey the laws that that intellectual
culture enables them to understand—(" hear" and ep-
plause)—which will give them those moral aid religious
sentiments which are the substratum of all law and of all
loyalty in • wellordered Christian community. If it makes
no provision for the Christian and the moral, that state is
unfaithful to herself, and to the best intensts of the commu-
nity over which it presides. I know that the fashionable
reply is, " Leave religion to the parent; the state has to do
with the secular, bat the parent has to do with the spiritual."
(Hear, hear.) I entirely demur to that sentiment. If the
parent is bound to see to the spiritual Instruction of the child,
he is also bound to see to the secular instruction of the child;
and the tame argument that would exonerate the state from
giving religious iastruetioa would equally exonerate it from
giving secular instruction. We have been told the mover
of this petition that intruding Is not neaewrily irreligious
because it is simply secular. (Chun.) I repeat, with all
respect for that gentleman's philological skill, that if he looks
to the root of the term freeness, he will find it is the
simple primitive religion, and 11 contend that the epithet
irreligious is foirly affixed upon a system which leaves fell-
gi_on altogether out of the question. (Hoer, hoar.)
We are not wanting to try some new and hazard-
ous experiment in education. (Hear, hear.) Have the
Lancashire Public School Association model stools, that
they have tried for a sufficient time in order to test
their soandneas of principle, and bring them to that
touchstone of experience which Mr. Tucker is so in
love with, and which I 11211 so is km with? My Christian
Mends, the practical touchstone is to be men in Scotland.
It is to be seen at this moment in senti.infidsl France. (A
Voice " They have a religious system of education.") I
say In infidel France, where the bitter fruits of that system
are each a lintel amount of socialism and onantunians.
(i Hear," " Oh, oh," and uproar.) There It is clearly
proved hat such • system in the upshot, will lead to a
fearful recoil upon despotism ; for such despotiemearune are
now being adopted in France to maintain public tranquillity
and protect life and property, as I pray God may never be
demanded in our own free land. (Load sheets.) I believe
I am not making an unwarrantable amenmption, when I
trees the disorder and disorgenleadea that affect that
unhappy country to the system of 'decodes that has beg
upheld by the government in that lead; and I appeal upon
this subj at to a late article in the Loudon Times. (Oh ! Oh !)
I appeal also to the Incendiary principles and democratic re-
volutions:7 doctrines of the secular schooltneetere of that
country. It has been proved that they are the normal
teachers. and that their schools are the normal seminaries of
communism, socialism, anarchy, and rain. The shrewd and
dispassionate Guizot says religious instruction is necessary
for the people, and that if the New Testament were iatra
dueed into the educational department In the schools, it
might in some wise prove an antidote to the fearful poison
that was being distilled there. But I object to the
system of those whom I am opposing, benne I 'attend
that the obstacle in the way of sweater education in this
country is not the religious element. The whole of their
scheme is based upon as gesamptiow. They sesame that the
people would be educated if it were not for religion. They
assume that, cut oat religion from a national system, and
the people must be educated as a matter of course. (No,
no.) I have no hesitation in sayiag that if you were to poll
the Inhabitants of Manchester you would find that, of the
protestant population of this city—(oh, oh)—there are not
one-tenth of the whole who would say they would
not send their children to school because the bible
is read there. It is a libel upon the working
men of Lancashire and of England to my that
the bible is a bugbear in the schools. Why, the working-
men of Lancashire would net send their children to a school
when the bible is shut out; but to a school when the
word of God is upheld as the rule sad standard. They say
they don't wish to exclude the religious, bat the asnarian
element. Then, let their plan include the whole bible and
I will not oppose them any longer. (Cheese.) The
scheme, as I understand it, is to give this county rate
inclusively to those schools from which the bible is ezdaded ;
thee I say they make the government the great panes of
irreligious schools, and withdraw its patronage hem the
religious schools of the county. (Applause and hisses.)

, sines whin would have afforded us an opportunity of re.
fiyatsigito then. We will thee undentand the matter, and
it in a way worthy of air great and important cause,
es I believe we are all some* men, and have no object is
'dew bat the promotion of the general good. We do not
en get° eye, but we might net for that rune to call the
motives of each other in question. A great deal bee been said
about the vain sad importance of the Bible. I perfectly
spree with what Ina bees said; but we have not met to
dams the principles of the sacred volume, we have met to
madder what are the educatioaal circumstances of the noun.
try, sad by what means we really can steers a better and
more exteasin system of education for the people than now
edam. It is a lamentable feet that, although we have had a
church established by law, which ttu had at its command
about Um million of money—(loud cheep)—yet, notwith-
standing all the religious and secaliu appliances which that
church an command, and which that church ought to have
employed, we have one third of our people unable to read,
nearly one-half unable to write. (Hear.) It is outgoes-
tiesably true that there are at the present time 750,000
children, between the ages of 6 and 125 years, that are re-
ceiving no instruction whatever, neither secular nor re-
ligious—(hear)—and it is equally mu* that every 10 years
we cast out upon society somewhere about 15 'millions of
seals that have received no education, no secular instruc-
tion, no religious ad moral training. I ask, then, is such a
state of society to exist ? Look at the facts of the saes. We
now pay eight millions for poor rates. Although oar po-
pulation has not doubled since the commencement of the
present nature, yet crime has increased fivefold. (Hear.)
We pay 2,000,0001. for the prosecution of criminals, and
we lose by public theft somewhere about 3,0000001.
Now, then, it is perfectly evident that the educational
agencies hitherto at work are not adequate to the Citollol-
- of the oouatry. We have beta told that
it is the duty of the scuts to establish religion ; and Mr.
Stowel has quoted a outage of scripture (very little appli-
cable) in support of his argument, that the powers that be
are ordained of God. (Cheers.) And he intended to show,
I suppose, that these powers ware in duty 'Lund to impart
to an a religious education. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.)
Has he forgotten that the powers of which the apostle Paul
was speaking were heathen powers ; and, if there ie any force
in his argument at all, those powers were bound
to establish the heathen religion ; and not only
so, as the state must only establish that which it
believes, it may establish any kind of error, or any
clue of religious opinions. I love my Bible as devoutly and
sincerely as Mr. Stowell or any ads friends can do, but I
advocate the rights of conscience. I maintain that every
man should think for himself with regard to religious
opinions; that these are matters which lie between con-
science and God ; and unless Mr. Stowell can work some
miracle on behalf of those evangelical sentiments that he and
I hold together, and unit,' he can give some sign frem
Heaven that he and I know better than our neighbours what
is the truth, I contend we mast allow freedom of opinion,
and Ist every man stand or fall to his own master.
We have, for example, Jewish subjects. Are we
to introduce the whole Bible into our public
schools, contrary to their wishes and right to__ judge
for themselves. They reject the New Testament. Weil, I
ask, if we are to have the Bible, which version of it are we
to have? I 400 no right we have to exclude the Douay ver.
sion, and to insist on the authorised see; and, therefore,
finding we cannot agree about this, I say, let de have simply
a scheme of secular and must instruction and education.
(Cheers and interruption.) Is it absolutely neeeesary to
introduce the Bible into our national schools, or into any
class of schools supported at the public expense. Secular
knowledge is a subject in itself. We ail recognise the
advent's.' of reading and writing, and being able to carry
on the oornspondence and Waimea of life. I hold that a
philosopher is better than a savage; and that an educated
man is less likely to become a vicious men and a disturber
of the public than the man who has been trained
in ignorance and vice. I object to the reasonings
of our opponents in reference to the forcing of religion upon
the community; because I boll it absurd to maintain that
we are to give no enlightenment to a people steles' we can
give religious knowledge and opinions along with it. Have
we not duties which we are bound to perform to our fellow
subjects in that 'nighty, that misgoverned, that oppressed
lead of India. We have millions of Hindu's and Moham-
medans there, and is it to be said that we are not to communi-
cate to them secular knowledge, and endeavour to civilise,
elevate, and improve them tied we an able to force
our religious opinions upon them. It has been
&Lund this morning that religion would be seriously
injured unless the secular and the religious should be
blended • but why cannot religion be taught at other
times, and in other places ? (Cheers.) Is it to be
supposed that Mr. Stowell or the rev. gentlemen who have
supported him are to ones preaching—that all cur Sunday
school teachers are to withdraw from the religious educe.
tioculestablishment ? Is it to be supposed that Cnriatian men
its not to continue to distribute the Bible and to distribute
tracts? (Cheers.) I hold that the sphere of religious influence
would be greatly widened if we had secular education ; I
hold that the Sunday school teacher would be able to give
the :whole of his time to the communication of religious
instruction ; that the home missionary and V... minister
would be able to speak to our Lancashire people in a language
they well understand; and I hold, too, that the Bible and
the tract would penetrate into the millions of homes from
which they an new excluded in consequence of the igno-
rance of our people. The conclusion of the whale matter is
this, that our opponents will do nothing because they can-
not do everything. He opposed the amendment with all
his heart. (frond sheen.)

The Rev. JOHN BY WATER (clergyman) supported the
amendment for some moments amidst a scene of uproar
which Nam description, and which was to some extent at-
tributable to the reverend mamma's want of temper.
The MAYOR hers rose to say he had filed the meeting,
and Do disclaimed favouritism to either side. (Cheer.)

Mr. BYWATER oontinned—After dismissals g any in-
tention to impute ;infamous to the mayor, he said he came
thereto oppose the Lancashire School System out of a love
for his bibia.

Mr. PETER RYLa NHS was received with great cheer-
ing, and mid he wall recollected that at the meeting held
there four months sr, a large number of clergy were
present, who backed as Mr. Stowell when he said the
people were satisfied with the miantee of the council of
education; !MOM,* were they tow? (Much laughter.) The
nomad mamas (Mr. Stowell) had said that we had a
smog egadussita Y km: all he (Mr. Hyland.) could say
was, that if the dela had a system, sad were educating the
people, this meeting would not see him here. (Cheers.)
But they were not educating the people ; and, while they
refused to do the duty themselves, why did they oppose a
just end equal system when proposed by others? It wee not,
certainly, oscines the church was too poor. He congra-
tulated hie friends that, whilst this meeting had been going
on is doors, another meeting had been holding out of doors
which had already come to a decision in favour of the Lau-
cash4e Public School system. (Loud cheers.)

Dr. JOHN WATTS was received with much cheering,
but it was followed by clamour which prevented hit being
heard for some time.

The MAYOR aid, =Mat nub laughter—
There's a vita thee =Wog, gent~
Weft a little loager I

Mr. WATTS proceeded, amidst much interruption, to say
that he thought if there was any design towards man in this
universe, it was that his mental faculties should receive a
higher development, and that was the aim of the promoters
of this meeting. There was a mental famine, and all that
was *ought was to supply It with mental food. It struck him
the working men had the greatest interest in this aim;
ter not only would intelligence teach them better how to
ears their bread, but it would enable them better to support
their lot and make the best of their panties In those times
of want end suffering which so often came when they could
not earn their bread. Be wan glad to ese that the question
between them and the church was much narrowed to day.
The Rev. Canon Stowell said if they taught the whole Bible
in thee* whoa. ha would not oppose them. Well, Mr. Stowell
woe a shurchman, and surely he would be content with the
Bible as taught in the church, end he would oak him if ever in
the whole round of the church services in the Prayer Book,
the whole Bible was taught ? (Loud sheen.) If Mr.
Stowell would be content with it, they had no objection to
extracts being made from the Bible on the principle of the he-
m= in the Prayer-book. Kr. Stowell had pointed, as a warn
lag against what he called an irreligious system of education
to the fat* of a neighbouring country-0 France ; but
never let it be forgotten that the national educa-
tion of Frans was under the priesthood up to
the time of the great revolution. (Loud cheers.) Rc-
volutioas were not the consequence of secular education. but
of Ignorance and the increase of y opulation whore there was
no bred.
The MAYOR now proceeded, after a stormy debate of five
hours, to put the question. The result was, that the amend-

seat wee siltation', and the original motion carried by a
large majority. The annocetement of the Mayor to this
offset was received with cleaning cheat.

THE ANTI-TRUCK MOVEMENT IN STAF-
PORDSHIRE.-MIETING AT DUDLEY.

DUDLEY, MONDAY EVENING. -- The agitation
against the " treat" or " toasty system," so extensively
premised in tide part of the country, galas ground rapidly ;
assostiations are in course of formation in all parts of the
district, and to-day a large meeting for the purpose was
held here, the Mayor in the chair. His worship convened
tise meeting se the rt gelation of nearly two hundred of the
MGM reggillahle persona in the perish, and there were pre-
sent dsttelsYaee from BEAMe end other towns.
Mr. ENGLAND, brewer, moved—

He said that there would be no difficulty in showing
that the system of truck was cruel, arbitrary, and unjust
to the working man: it degraded him greatly, and bene-
fited no one mein the hard-hearted tommyinthster ; it
deprived the pommels of the means of raising himself even
in the elate its which he was stationed ; it deprvid bins of
the means of in any way providing for his family or himself
in the hour of sickness and need ; for those calamities which
the severity of his labour and the damp of the dungeon in
which the poor miner was abut up, necessarily exposed him
to. Surely each a man was entitled to the hire of his labour,
instead of being compelled to go to the " lemony shop" sad
receive goods at 20 and 30 per cent. above the market price.
Such wee the state of things at the present time,
end it had been so for years, gradually getting
worse. It had been at td why the men did
not extricate themselves from the difficulty. The
feat was. they had not much power to do so, the " tommy
masters" were so numerous, and those who paid in money
always so full of bends, whereas, if the men did not agree
to the system, they knew they would be discharged, and in
these times work was so difficult to be had that they dare
not risk the chance of Leavitt( their employment. SJOIO of
the nonsense' were hucksters and even haberdashers, and
the men knew ;if they did not purchase from them, what
would be the oonstquenee. but, to escape the scandal of
keeping these shops themselves, they were farmed out.
They had tined • great deal lately about the distress
of the farmers, but this " Weems' farming must be
a good thing, for he heard the other day that
• tommy shopkeeper" to an ironical's:sr offered
another iroomaster • better annual income, if he would send
his people to be trucked at his shop, than the profits which
the b. 500 acres of land in this country would produce,
supposing wheat to be at Se. &bushel. (Cries of " Shame.")
Now of all the instruments of cruelty that was ever thrown
up from the bottoming pit to enable one man to (Tyree'
another, this was the masterpiece. (Hear.) It was an
engine the grinding qualities of wh.ch must ever be regu-
lated by the humanity or the cupidity of the man who em-
ployed it. Happily for that town, and to the credit of the
othaufacturers, the system was n. 4 so extensively in operation
there as elsewhere, and the purpose of the establish [Lint of an
asseciatiou was rather as a preventive than e cure ; they
saw the storm approaching, and thought it better to take
steps to counteract it to fore it set in.
L. LESTER, Esq., seconded the Resolution. The
" teensy" system was, as his experience had shown to
him, bed in every sense of the word ; and he was very sorry
to have heard that some of the most respectable manu-
facturers in the town had declared that unites the " tummy
system" was put down they would be compelled to adopt it
in self defence.

Mr.IIOLBIN, es-mayor, in moving " That an emaciation
be now formed to embrace the borough and neighbourhood
of Dudley, and to be called ' The Dudley Anti-Truck
Amociatioo,' for the su,iptesaion of the illegal, unjust, and
degrading pramice," said that the effect of the truck sponse
in this part of the country had been to increase the pools'
rates, end to drain the trade from the retail shopkeeper.
Mr. LINNIiY, of Bilden, said that the registrar in his
perish had reported the number of children burned to death
in a short time, whilst the mother' were waiting nt the
tummy hop, to be twelve ; they had, however, now com-
menced in good earnest to put down the system, ar.d he
hoped they would succeed; one person h. d already suc-
cumbed; and =other against whom there were inform st'....ns
for penalties to the amount of 1,0001., had intimated r
purpose to shut up his tomospehop. and he had no doubt
but that others would follow; he understood that some
of the ironmasters had threatened to open shops
in the towns, and by under-selling ruin the re-
tail trader ; let them do that. All they askod
was that the men should bs paid their wages in
money, end spend it where they liked. The masters u ere
trying in every possile manner to evade the law ; one
method was by giving checks on banks tu3co:mected with
the concern ; he hoped, however, that they would b., able to
beat them in that device ; cheques for less than twenty still-
hogs had been refused pejment by the bankers, and if the
men who received such would sake them to the association,
they would sue the parties issuing in the county veer:, and
se bring them within the operation of the Truck Act. It
had been said that the pressure of the times had induced
the middle class to assist the werkieg men in this meter;
bet if the middle clue had felt the screw, had not the
working men doubly so ? He understood that the iron-
masters had already subscribed 6001. to defend the inferma-
tions laid against them. The association with which he warn
connected nad subszr.beel 1,0001., and they were determined
to have the best legal assistance available. (MTe•er.) That
such an iniquitous system should ba practised by the rich
iroemsatere was contemptible ; it was no uncommon thing
to meet one of these magnates in a splendid equipage, and
the nest haU hour to see him at the tommy-shop, measuring
yards of tape, or selling lolly cop or blacking. However,
the association had already worked some good : a poor
woman told him (Mr. Linney) last week, that at her tommy.
shop, the price of soap, sugar, and other articles, was re-
duced a penny a lb ; and at another place, in cone quence of
an apprehension that informations would be laid, tnere was
3001. paid lest week in wages, instead of 501., as heretofore.
The speaker strongly advocated the necessity of union
amongst the working men, and further said that they had
received ieformation to the effect that it the pre.ent law
was not sufficiently salutary for its object, government were
prepared to assist them by Waging in another bal.
Mr. HARRIS, of Bilston, said that the working men
must help themselves; they must refuse to Like tze tenuity
tickets altogether, or if they did receive them, band them
over to the association that the case, might be inecstig, ted.
This gentlemen acknowledged the assistance the Dully News
bad re n'ered to the movement.

The meeting wu addressed by Messrs. Granger, Harrison,
Cooke, and other gentlemen ; the whole of vie retoluziona
were passed unanimously, and a vote of tucks was passed
to the Mayor for pnedtng.
To-day I was ore table informed that the irontnisiers
who pay in Truck get a profit of five shillings per tun over
those who pay in money.

LITERATURE.

The Quarterly Review.

The 172nd number of the " Quarterly Review,"
just published, is a good and interesting one ; the
articles, with one or two exceptions, not ova-bigoted.
The first fills op what was a reproach to Euglibh
criticism, the want of • tribute to the genius of Leo-
pardi, tl e Keats of Italian poets. Even the hopeless
infidelity of the poet and philosopher does not pt event
the writer in the " Quarterly " from doing him
justice.
A good review of "Rinke's Memo:rs of the Rouse
of Brandenburg" follows, jealous of Prussia, after the
fashion of the Aberdeen and Mahon school, which
will not see that Prussia is essentially German, and
that Austria never can be German, or represent Ger-
many in an age when nationality is something.
The reviewer does justice to the excellent institu-
tion of Queen's College for Young Ladies, but is
rather severe on Professor Maurice.

" Grote's Greece" is treated in a spirit worthy of
the great and classic historian.
Mr. David Urquhart gets a severe handling after
the ancient fashion of Quarterly Mohawking.
A review of " Facts or Figures" seems from the
pen of Mr. Newdegate, whose great iv..therity arid
statistical bible is Spackman !
How has Lord Clarendon excited the spleen of the
Reviewer ? The " Quarterly" used not w b.: of so
bright an orange.
" Central and Southern Europe" is very illiberally
treated in a rambling, spiteful, and mendacious article.
The writer pretends that the accusation, published in
the Z Mei against Kossuth, for presenting Count
Zichy's spurs to the Puha of Widdin, was never
answered. It we. not only answered, but completely
refuted, in these columns. Acd its repetition by the
reviewer merely places him in the base category of
the first cowardly calumniator.
The last article is the romance of Louis Philippe's
escape, minutely and interestingly told. But it pro-
ceeds on what is altogether an error, that there was
the least danger to the fugitive king, or the least
desire to retain him. The fact is, there was neither
peril nor romance in his escape. Whatever there
was of the kind existed but in his own ex-royal ima-
gination. The writer adopts M. Quiz •t's blunder of
asserting, that the great English resolution suc-
ceeded, and that the great French revolution fulled.
The reverse of that would be nearer the truth.

rary Vindicator adds " never were such shank of
ejectment notices levelled against the unfortunate

Quarter Sessions in Thule. and Nenagh." The
Newry Examiner says:
Ws resolved a letter from a Drogheda enrempondent, stat-
ing that between twenty and thirty fanlike* (numbering
shout as* hundred individuals) were meetly ejected from
their ,holding on the Morniegton property, situate on the
sea shore, three miles hem Drogheda, in Meath.
Another attempt is said to have been made on the
life of a soldier of the Athlone garrison, on Wednes-
day night last.
A steamer called the Maid of Galway, or Galloway,
is reported to be on shore at Balbriggan.
A Derry paper states that there has been an
inereue of 1639 in the number of emigrants who left
that port during the quarter ending in March in the
present year, as compared with the numbers leavingl
in the corresponding quarter last year, the numbers
being respectively 354 and 1893.

Mr. Aleianderitobirt Stawsrt, fur many y ears re-
presentative of the county of Londonderry in puha-
went, died last week at Rockhill, Letterkenny, the
residence of his brother.

The subject of fin cultivation continues to absorb a
great deal of attention in almost every part of Ire-
land. In the Limerick papers a second letter from
the Messrs. Russell appears, reiterating their encou-
raging proposals on the subject, and stating the pro-
rns they have made in carrying out their designs.
They have engaged one of the most experienced and
skilful agriculturists employed by the Royal Flax
Satiety of Belfast, to give instructions in the
culture of /11, and superintend the operations
fur that purpose which the Meson. Rus-
sell are about to undertake. Efforts of a
similar nature have been far some time in progress in I
Cork, and Waterford is also directing its attention to
the same branch of icdastry. In fact, people are
beginning to look about them for carious modes of
turning their capital and labour to account, and any
improvement or new direction to industry that might
be suggested would not fail at this moment to attract
attention.
A meeting is about being held at Lurgan, the centre
of the cambric manufacture of Ireland, to co-operate
with the committee appointed at Belfast in making
arrangements for sending forward specimens of the
staple industry of the north to the exhibition of 1831.
On Friday morning 20 cottages were bent down
in the village of Crinkle, near Parsonstown, and but
for the efforts to extinguish the fire, made by the
soldiers of the 89th regiment, stationed in the neigh-
bouring barracks, it is probable the whole village
would have fallen a prey to the flames.

towards Kingston, two man named Carter sad Dyer got late
Day's cart, and another mu named Bishop got Late the one

eats Holden gave Bodes fear-peace halfpenny to pay the
Robin Hood gate, which was the next towards London.
The whole of the vehicles stopped at the Fighting Cocks,

men had some beer sod gin, and they set oft again on their'
way to L'utdoa about twelve o'clock at night, and
almost every thing that occurred of that must
be left to coajeentre. The unfortunate deceased,
It appeared, was the toll collector at the Robin

Mr. Cluirnock, at the close of the ease for the prosecution,

to address them for both prisoners, sad he submitted that
the ease was so confined, and there had been such a mar of

This wise special jury one. The deeds/atlas alleged that
die plaintiff had caned to be delivered to the defendants
certain goods to be kept by the defendants, and that they
kept them so negligently that the goods were lost.
The plaintiff, Mr. Samna Smatkant, is a cotton waste
deafer, at Manchester; the deleadaate were the London and
North Western Railway Compeny, carriers from Manchester
to Birmingham and • variety of other plans; and the action
was brought to recover 331. 41. 6d., the value of
twenty-three begs of waste whisk had been lout
through a swam delivery, and for whisk the
plaintiff alleged the sompay IMO responsible. On the 3rd
of July last the plaintiff, being informed that a person named
With, m who carries on bulletin se a cotton waste dealer at
B:rminOare, would punkas, the goody, forwarded to him
the twenty-three bales. Two days afterwards, the plaintiff
received from the railway coalman the usual receipt, with
the following addendum to it : " The consignee has refused
to rosin the goods, stating that they were not ordered ;
places to state how we shall dispose of the goods." The
plaintiff went to the railway office, and requested them to
keep the goods for a while at Birmingham, and charge ware.
house rent for them. There the minor rested, but from
time to time inquiries were mode to ascertain that the
Cirwere sate. Some time in the month of
essber, the plaintiff being desirous to diem* of
the ban, went to the railway company to icquire what had
become of them. Mr. Smethurst received from the railway
mmapsny a nen, stating that the consignee had taken sway •
few bags, and that the others had been delivered at the
White Hone, in Bradford-street, Birmingham, and signed
for by J. Willoughby. Bmethunt, from this, supposed that
Withers bad taken the cotton, and wrote to him for the mak,
but received back &communication expremiag surprise at
the request, and stating that to had never reesived the goods
at all. Inquiries were mad*, whoa it appeared that a man
named Willoughby, • hemp dresser, who was oensionally
employed by Withers, had, without the authority of
the latter, got some one to buy three bales of
the cotton waste. Having sold thee, and procured money,
he paid the charges upon the remainder, and got them
away. They were curled to the White Horse public-
house in Bradford-street, there delivered, and afterwards,
it appeared, sold to Withers at 10s. per cwt. below the con-
tract pries.
It appeared, on behalf of the defendants, that the railway
company had delivered the goods (at least the last 20 of the
bales) to Willoughby, without his having ;produced any
authority ; and, under the direction of his lordship, the jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.

plaintiff; the defendants were Messrs. Offley, Webb,

was brought to recover 1311. 135., with interest st 6 per cent.
from July, 1848. Mr. Forrester, on behalf of the :11rin in
question, came down to Liverpool two years ago for the per.
pose of establishing • branch business, and, as a strong in-
ducement to parties to test the wine, so:d, it was alleged,
undue the condition that if those who purchased were not
satisfied with their bargains they might return the wine at
any time within three years and get back the purchase
money, with 6 per ant, interest upon it. Under this induce-
m sat the plaintiff purchased to the amount of 1311. 155.,
and now claimed the benefit of the condition.

A witness was then examined. who swore that two
letters produced were in the handwriting of the male pri-
soner, and it was also sworn that his real name was Stone.
Mr. Bodkin intimated that the case was now closed.

Mr. Parry then proceeded to argue that there was no
evidence to prove the fraudulent pretence. It was certainly
a suspieions circumstance that the two letters to the Duke were
In different names, and that the male primmer had assumed
another name when taken into custody ; bat this circum-
stance, he conceived, did not bring the case legally home to
the prisoners. The only eviler's* against the woman was
that she had left a card and • letter at Apiley house signed

butcher, at 153, Highstreet, Shadwia, by wounding him in
the arm with a chopper. The case was a distressing one, in-
asmuch as the principal witness against the prisoner was her
own eon, lama Kirtland, a bey about 13 years old, who
wept bitterly whilst riving his evidence,. He Mated that on
Saturday week the 23:11 alt., his mother was somewhat in
liquor, on what!' his father, who was chopping a sparerrib of
pork at the time, called her a bad name. She said 011 you
all me that again I'll strike you." He repeated the words,
on which she sa•tched up the chopper and struck him a blow
on the arm. His father went into a neighbour's shop and
