The New London Railways.

~teven new bridges across the river were projected, but
only one has been approved, and it is quite out the town,
being situated in the neighbourhood of Kew. The only
new terminus authorised is that of the Great Eastern, at
Finsbury-circus—but the Midland and Great Northern get
access by new branches to the Metropolitan and then to the
heart of London, while the North Western and Charing-
cross line connects the North Western with the large depot
at the latter spot. The Great Western is, as our readers are
aware, already in direct communication with the Metropoli-
tan. Thus we have in the central part of the metropolis
four great termini, to one or other, or in some owlet snore
than ono, of which all the railway's have access—Charing-
cross, Cannon-street, Liverpeolestreet and Finsbury-circus,
The next thing required is to connect the various systems
—and this is accomplished by the following lines= Metro-
politan (Extension to Trinity-square),Metropolitan District
and Grand Union, Metropolitan (Notting-hill and Bromp-
ton Extension), and a short line sanctioned by the Addi-
tional Powers Bill of the same company. These lines form
a continuous railway,which, starting from Moorfields (Fore-
street), runs eastward towards the Minories,where, curving
round, it proceeds by Trinity-square, Eastcheap, Cannon.
street, to the Thames Embankment, which it traverses as
far as Westminster-bridge. Then its course lies by the north
side of the Abbey, Victoria-street, close to Victoria station,
Sloane-square,and South Kensington to Notting-hill, where
it turns once more to the east, in order tojoin at Lisson-street,
Edgware-road, the present line of the Metropolitan, which
completes the circuit back again to Moorfields. This inner
circle is connected by a branch with an outer el) cle,of which
the West London Junction forms an important part. The
importance of this series of communications can hardly be
over-rated. The Great Western and Great Eastern are di-
rectly united ; so are the North Western and Month t astern,
the Great Northern, and the London, Chatham, and Dover.
The Midland also hasaccess to the last named comprehensive
system, and by means of the Metropolitan both the Midland
and the Great Northern can get to the South Eastern at
Cannon.street. The Metropolitan and St, J'ohß's-wood
line runs between the Finchley-road station of the Hamp-
stead and City junction and the Baker-street station of the
Metropolitan; while the rinchley, Willesden, and Acton
connects the new Midland with the Great Western and
South Western. The Great Eastern having got admission
to tho interior of the metropolis, is laying itself out largely
for suburban traffic, to accommodate which it has obtained
powers for a line running from Liverpool-street parallel
with the present main line as far as Cambridge-road, then,
turning due north, to Hackney, where it branches into two
parts, one passing by Stamford-hill to Tottenham and Ep-
ping, and the other going through Clapton to Walthamstow,
where it meets another branch from a little above Stratford,
and the two run north in one line to Woodford. A short
link places Alexandra Park in connection with the Edg-
ware, Highgate, and London Railway. Coming to the
Surrey side of London, we find the South Western, whit&
will obtain access to the City side of the river by the aid (A.

On Tuesday last there was; public distribution of prizes
at the Grammar School at Chipping Campden, an old foun-
dation recently restored, and, by public subscription, pro.
vided with newly-erected and admirably complete school
buildings.
The prize-giving was preceded by a service in the parish
church, at which an excellent and thoroughly practical ser-
mon was preached by the Yen. J. Sandford, 8.D., Archdea-.
con of Coventry. The prizes were distributed in the school
room, the chair being taken by the Right Hon. the Earl of
Harrowby, K.G.
The Earl of IlAnnownr, after alluding in eulogistic terms
to the Sermon of Archdeacon Sandford, who had travelled
over the whole field so exhaustively as to leave little for him
to say, remarked that it was generally admitted at the pre-
sent day that sufficient attention had not been paid to the
education of the great middle class of the country. Happily,
it was difficult to define any class in this land strictly, for
there were no hard lines of separation, but, like the colours
in the rainho w, they shaded gradually into each other; but the
middle class was most clearly defined as the intermediate link
between that which was undoubtedly the highest in social
position and that which was the lowest, and between which
an undoubted separation existed. It certainly was a class
that was not intended to be neglected at the time of the Re-
formation, for as soon as that great event took place it was
one of the very first objects of the leading minds in the
Church, and, though only partially, he was sorry to say of
those in the State, to make some provision for the education
of the middle class, in order that men might constantly be
rising out of that class to serve God both in Church and
State. But, unhappily. that noble project did not meet in
this country with the same success as in a sister country, and
under other auspices. Our great Archbishop Creamer had
noble projects of attaching to all our cathedrals eminent
seminaries of instruction, comprising every branch of edu-
cation which at that moment was known; but unfortunately,
through various causes, the cathedral schools had dwindled
in most cases to nothing, though within the last few years
there had been attempts to revive them, which he hoped
might prove successful. What, however, was not afforded
by the State was effected to a great extent by individuals.
It seemed to have been the first thought of men, especially
those who had sprung from the middle class themselves, to
provide for others the advantages which they had not always
enjoyed themselves, and in this spirit the leading merchants
or tradesmen had laid the basis of foundations which had
since acquired a world-wide reputation. To whom did we
owe the great foundation of the Charter-house ? To Thomas
Sutton, a worthy tradesman in London. To whom did we
owe the foundation of Harrow ? To John Lyon, a yeoman.
And so might one go all over the country, and find in most
of our ancient towns establishments which owed their
existence to the desire of men of the middle class, who had
acquired wealth, to offer the means of instruction to those
who, like themselves, might rise to higher station. But
these in process of time had fallen into that decay which
affected all human things, except there was from time to
time a renovation. He hoped the time of renovation had
now arrived, and that these old grammar schools would be-
come the foundation of that education of the middle class
which we all desired to see. (Applause.) As the archdeacon
had well observed, it was a wholesome fashion in England,
when we wanted any good thing, to see if we could not
attach it to some old one. He for one should be very sorry
if they were to attempt that which prevailed so much in
foreign countries, and make the education of the middle class
part of a Government system. Such system, of course, had
the advantage of being spread equably over the whole face
of the country, and of attaining a certain mechanical corn..
pleteness of result which was often wanting in our looser and
more irregular proceedings; but, on the other hand, by a
Government system the mind of the country was cabined,
cribbed, confined, and lost all that energetic self-reliance,
which was, atter all, the source of prosperity to a nation, as
it was of success to the individual. (Applause.) As many
of them might be aware, a royal commission was about to
issue to look into this question, and the commissioners would
no doubt be sending round queries to all the old grammar
schools, and make all the inquiries they could of private
schools, with the view of ascertaining what the deficiency
was, and of suggesting some remedy. His hope was that
before any new remedy was attempted they would try to
throw health and vigour into our old grammar schools. He
trusted we should find within a reasonable distance of every
district some old foundation which, with proper oare and
assistance, might be so revived as to supply the wants of each
neighbourhood. It might be asked, why should they be so
anxious to take up the old grammar schools? Well, in the
first place, because they were old, and it was a feeling deeply
planted in the human heart to be attached to anything that
had long existed. Independently however of this, he looked
to the principles which had guided the founders of these
schools, and he should be sorry to he left to the chance of
new discoveries to supersede those ancient
principles. He
should be sorry to see new foundations totally unconnected
with our national Church—new foundations which, with
the view of including persons of all varieties of faith, should
consent to eliminate religious teaching altogether. He
should be sorry to see an attempt at any new system in the
way of education which should not in some degree take its
roots in the foundations of our old grammar school system.
Of course there would be various difficulties. In the first
place, there were trustees who had to be consulted ; then
there were the wills of founders to be looked into, and more
or less to be respected. There were difficulties also as to
funds, which in many cases were very insufficient; the
funds for buildings were often still more deficient, and very
frequently there was the existence of an old master who
could not be easily displaced—a man who might have all
sorts of private virtues, but no qualifications for bis special
function. He hoped they were free from all these difficulties
here; they had not an old effete master—(laughter)—
wedded to old things, and accustomed to a jogtrot mode of
life—as he recollected one in a neighbouring tom in the

Was aware that there Wait something very attractive in the
higher branches of study; if a toaster, himself a highly
educated man, could find here and there a boy of higher
abilities and aspirations than his fellows, it was naturally
his delight to lead that boy on and hand him over to the
university. This
should not be neglected. but, on the
other hand, they must be provided adequately for the ma-
jority, the average ordinary race of boys, that they should
be well taught in those special dePaitraents of knowledge
for which their parents sent them to school. Particular
attention must therefore always be paid to the simpler and
more humbler branches of education.
(Rear.) It was their
duty, too, to try and incense, as the. Scotch would say, the
middle classes themselves with the idea that education, in-
stead of being rather an obstruction in practical life, which
was too common an opinion, was really an advantage. He
wished he could put strongly before them the success of our
neighbours, the Scotch, to whom he had previously alluded.
At the time of the Reformation our leading men in Church
and State desired to accompany it with an extension of
education to the middle classes especially, but the same
view was pursued, he must say, more consecutively, vigo •
rously, and successfully in the sister country, Under the
system which there prevailed, the whole country was spread
over with parish schools, which educated all classes, or—
for there might have been some change of later years, which
for centuries did so, the humblest being taught Latin as
well as their native tongue. It was not the feeling of the
Scotch middle class that to learn much was an obstruction
to practical work ; they did not think that a man was a
worm ploughman because his mind was developed, but, on
the contrary, they felt that a man was better practically the
mere.his mind was cultivated, and the result was that in the
