Eat nestly do we hope that these religious-bickerings
are at an end ; and that all classes of the pauper
children will receive an education, which-, while it
will lay the foundation of their being used; intel-
ligent, and respectable members of society,-in their
respective positions, will not render them con-
spicuous for bigotry; but induce them to do unto
others as they would have others do unto them.
Our Continental advices do not contain, much
additional news of interest, or even importance.

The complexion of our relations with France are
beginning to be of a more satisfactory character.
It is said Count de Persigny has left Paris for

London, furnished with very conciliatory instruc-
tions from the Emperor. The reception awarded
to their Majesties, as they left for St. -Cloud, is
reported to be of a very cold character.
From Hanover; ,we learn that the Legislative
Chambers have again been dissolved, on account
of their opposition to the views of the Minis-
try concerning the proposed changes in the
fundamental constitutional law. The last dissolu-
tion took place for exactly the same reason, a.,301
the repetition of that step was to be anticipated,
for the electors had sent back the same representa-
tives, with the same electoral programmes. Nothing
is said of the Government having promulgated
any new electoral law, and thus the forthcoming
elections will most probably lead to the same
results, and to a third dissolution.
The Belgian Chamber was opened by the King
in person, yesterday. According to advices from
Brussels, it appears that the government intends
to introduce a measure of Custoins reform, of a
free-trade character. As in Prussia, arrangements-
for an adequate increase of the salary of subordinate
officials in Belgium have been deemed necessary.
From Vienna we learn that the only news to be
communicated is, that Count Leo Thun, the Mi-
nister for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Public Instruc-
tion, a day or two since tendered his resignation
to his Sovereign. His Majesty declared that he
was well satisfied with the services of the Minister,
and desired him to retain his portfolio.
Lord Palmerston has had the opportunity o:
delivering another speech, viz, at the Lord Mayor's
banquet at the Mansion House, London, on Mon-
day night. It was, however, very common place,
and did not give the 1,300 guests which the New
Chief Magistrate of the Metropolis had congregated
together to partake of his hospitality any inkling
into the future doings of the Government. It is
true he praised Lancashire, but extolled London
neat centre of trade and commerce in the

United Kingdom. Received as he was in Liver-
pool, he might bawl put in a word for the " good
old town." He forgot this : but, no doubt, the

wily politician had his reason for not alluding
to our docks, warehouses, and the many and
important advantages which trade and commerce
enjoy in Liverpool. In replying to the usual
compliment to her Majesty's Ministers, his Lord.
ship made a few observations only remarkable for
the repetition of his Manchester threat to compel
Russia to carry out his own interpretation of the
Treaty of Peace. "It now remains," said he,
" that the conditions of that Treaty be faithfully
executed—that they should be faithfully executed,"
he repeated, " and honourably observed." The
reply of Russia is obvious, namely, that it now
remains that the Plenipotentiaries who assembled
at Paris should meet together and decide who has
broken the Treaty. The appeal of Russia is to the
arbitration of reason; the appeal of Palmerston is
to the arbitration of the sword.
Kossuth has arrived at Manchester, and is to
lecture in the Free Trade Hall tonight, upon
Italy. On his arrival he was accompanied by his
friend and aid de.camp, Colonel Ihasz, who fought
during the Hungarian struggle o
i f independence,
and
,was the companion of his illustrious coun-
tryman during his captivity in the fortress of
Kutayah, in Asia Minor. There was a large crowd at
the station awaiting M. Kossuth's arrival, who was
greeted with the most enthusiastic cheering,"hun-
dreds pressing forward to the carriage, and shakds of
him by the hand. There must have been upwar
1,000 persons on the platform when his Excellency
arrived. He was received by John Henry, Esq.,
son of Alexander Henry,
Esq., the Lecture Com-
mittee, and a band of Hungarian and Polish
exiles. Having taken his seat in Mr. Henry's
at
carriage, he drove off to Mr. Henry's residence,
the Woodlands, Cheetham Hill. All the way
from
the station to the infirmary, his Excellency was
loudly cheered by the crowd whizli had assem-
bled in expectation of his arrival. In the
evening, a party, consisting of upwards of 200
ladies and gentlemen, assembled by invitation, at
Mr. Henry's residence, to meet the illustrious exile.
We understand he is to lecture at both Oldham
and Bolton, and it is bruited about that he may
visit Liverpool ere he returns to the metropolis.
Sir John Pakington is also to visit Manchester for
the purpose of addressing the citizens there on
the question of National Education. Truly, the
leading statesmen of the age are becoming notorious
for their itinerating lectures on the mental and
moral illumination of mankind.
..The election of mayors in most of the cities and
towns in England has passed off quietly.. At
Manchester, Mr. Alderman Watts was appointed.
At Salford, Mr. Heelis was elected ; at Blackburn,
Mr. Alderman Pilkington ; at Oldham, Mr. Josiah
Radcliff. Mr. Alderman Anderson was selected
for Lord Mayor of York ; and Mr. Joseph Under-
wood for Leicester. Mr. W. T. Higgings was the
fortunate candidate at Northampton, and Mr.
Edward Parry, owing to the peculiar financial
position of the borough, was re-elected mayor of
Wolverhampton.
Alluding to the vacant Judgeship, one of our
London evening cotemporaries of yesterday
remarks :—The reason of the delay in filling up the
office of Chief Justic3 is obvious. The Attorney
General wants a peerage, and the Whigs can have
no objection to such a man as the Attorney General
in the House of Lords. The legal and constitu-
tional problem is how to make a new Chief
Justice a peer of the realm ; and after the debates
which took place on the Baron Parke promotion,
we need not be surprised if the Government should
exhibit hesitation. But the friends of Sir A.
Cockburn confidently believe that all will be
arranged according to his own wishes.
