Ir is pretta plain, end we say it with the most
ofecgasa regret, that there is smell hope for any
o.theien of. the tars cos knowledge--small hope

vest • v'al and political questions. as long as Lord

On Tuesday night, Mr. MILNIR throe brought
beamed !assertion for the repel of these taxes, which
dr supported by one of the talks: and ablest speeches
reer heard in parliament. The hon. gentleman made
a crest impterion. The feeling of the hour was
aith hes. Mr. Dtsitazu, to his honour, and in
street contrast with so much mock liberalism
ou the benches opposite to him, supported
the motion. So did Mr. RORBUCIC in len-
:eye equally forcible. To their argatmeets
the CUANCI.LLOR of the Zimmer/xi opposed the
certainly Krone argtneasts of the dilapidated °mai-
:ion of his budget, the massy demands upon it, his
oen nopreper• el and undigested scheme of flutece,
a-d the impossibility which he felt of persuading the
,u-e or the country to accept any new tax of his
,if,isirg. After the almost decisive vote on the
w • d•w tax, to have consented to the repeal of all
taxes that Mr. Mitten Osumi demanded, was
a-ireely to te expected from Sir CHARLES WooD.
Ard the holm felt it ; for a very great number of
staahrre, who were, and are, prepared to condemn
these tate,. joined in the vote to support them, rather
tar, in concert with Mr. DISRAELI, dry up too lust
doily the existing sourest of revenue. The mere list
it liberals whw did not vote, or voted the wrong
way, shows that fear for the maintr

is quite manifest, from the progress the pigsties
tea made, from the tone of the !loose, and from
the injustice aid partiality of the tax itself, which
the Cif.tscetwit of the EXCHEQUER could only yen-
mit to partiallc excuse by assertions utterly devoid of

with eq.al justice and liberality he pointed out

astir, we suppose, for his secriking Mr. Fox's bill

eightsd and neglected classes.
After all that Lied Joss Russet'. has said and
spikes to t'.e subject of education, for him to turn

which cesi. a all value to education as education, and
"Lich rot fines its worth to the instilment of religious

prittipltts of conduct another. These tasks one
ray unite in time and effort, but we defy any
one to unite them In reality. It is incumbent

but the bible is not fitted to teach grammar, nor is it

we are moved and how utterly we are confounded by

plus among the causes celibres. It is every way
fitted to awaken attention, and to lame a Wang im-

in many places attenuated chain of circumstantial

Twelve mortal days did the trial last; ten of these
were principally occupied in the examination of wit-
tyres. Oat of the mouths of nearly a hundred wit-

Invariably fair and unexaggerated tone in which tes-
timony was brine ; the judicious manner in which
legal acuteness was tempered and restrained by a
regard to whiit was just and nnrally decorous; the
(Warn di.c:imination with which judge and jury
kil:ovred the long and tangled chain of evidence,
were all highly honuurable to the men of New
