Sir GEORGE GREY'S remarks are always worth
attending to; the right hon. gentleman has a con-
siderable amount of practical knowledge which he
turns to very good account in his speeches. Last
Friday he addressed a public meeting in aid of the
Morpeth Young's Mutual Improvement Association.
Sir G. GREY occupied the chair, and very ade-
quately fulfilled the task that was assigned to him.
It is true that it was by no means a discouraging
prospect that presented itself to his view in contem-
plating the affairs relating to the society then die..
cussed. Daring the two years that it has been in
existence it has made great progress in many ways,
and it has become possessed of several valuab!e
works, besides having enjoyed the privilege of
many lectures on divers subjects. It is a great thing
for any town to have such an institution within its
walls, for it must tend in a great :mature to pro-
mote the welfare and improvement of its citizens.
There are advantages to be derived from these
societies that are above and beyond the mere in-
tellectual acquirements that they induce and foster.
The habit of devoting idle hours to refined and
elevated employments works twofold in a beneficial
sense, it improves the whole character of the indi
vidual, and also it prevents many undesirable and
deleterious pursuits being carried on. Sir G. GREY
pointed out to the young men that such a society,
if they availed themselves fully of its opportunities,
would benefit them in various ways. Besides relie
gious and moral instruction, they would have faci-
lities presented to them of preparing themselves for
those competitive examinations which were now the
doors to all employment in the civil service of the
country. There is no doubt that the temptations to
which idleness to invariably exposes have been the
means of involving many young men in diffieulties,
and inducing them to lose their acquirements for
want of practice; thus when their time of trial has
come they have failed either partially or entirely,
and thus ruined their prospects at the outset
of their career. The chairman very effec-
tively impressed upon his hearers the necessity
that existed for training the mind after the routine
duties of school were over, and quoted in connection
with this subject of education as distinct from in-
struction some striking expressions of the Arch-
bishop of Youx. " Education is the training of
the whole mind for the world around it, for the
duties it has to discharge here, and the services it
has to perform to its GOD and Saviour, the mental,
moral, and rcligidus training of souls marked by
God for His own," This is as good an explanation
and as true a warning as could be given on this
difficult and much debated subject. How few
really take it in this sense, what with " cramming"
for examinations, and reading up exactly what
is supposed to be wanted, very little care or thought
is bestowed in many cases on what ought to be
the chief aim and object of all such undertakings
—the improvement of the mind and the formation
of the character on the highest acd holiest princi-
ples. How true was the remark of Sir G. GREY
that many waste their youth in all sorts of unpro-
fitable engagements, while, on the contrary, they
should bear in mind that youth was especially the
season for mental culture, for the acquisition of
knowledge and the formation of principles. "
It
was the seed-time of a rich harvest they were all
to see hereafter." The more such topics are dis-
cussed, and the greater stress that is laid on these
matters, the better, for the indifferent may thus be
won over and in time made to see the error
of their ways in consuming their precious time
is idleness or wasting their energies by acquiring
superficial knowledge of things that require minute
and careful investigation. Great credit is due to
those gentlemen occupying a distinguished position
in society, who have so often come forward to
further the objects and promote the efforts of such
societies and institutions as that now discussed.
The advantages of their attendance cannot be too
much overrated, their names are a tower of s;rength,
they incite and emulate the rising generation, and
urge them on in the path that lies before them. Il
the young members of such institutes find that their
progress is considered a matter of importance to the
most eminent men in the land, that their menta'
Vulture and moral advancement aro thought to

LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 11, 1864.

The arrival of the Bombay mail brings as varied
intelligence, although none of it is happily of a very
important charac..er. The general tenour of the
news is pacific, though there are not wanting in-
dications of the increasing dissension between the
Indian Governors and the central authority at
Downing-street. Sir CHARLES WOOD, indeed,
seems to be outrdoing himself in his Indian per.
formanees, and the report which we mentioned as
a vague rumour merely, that on the retirement of
Sir C. TIIEVELYAN no other Finance Minister will
be appointed, now comes to us in the Bombay sum•
mary with the authority of a statement. "It is
stated'. that Sir C. TREITELYAN will leave India
in April next, and that thenceforward the manager
of the finances will be merely a sccretary. The real
heat; of the Indian exchequer will, we presume, be
that accomplished financier who once ruled in this
metropoiis, and who gave anything but satisfaction
to the English public. If Sir CHARLES Wood is
going to carry his narrow and oppressive theories
into the Finance Thpartment, just as the Indian
exchequer is flourishing, we miy look for a very
undesirable change in the administration of the
public musty. Very certainly he will nut imitate
or continue Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN'S liberality
towards public works, for, although our Indian
tSteretary prides himself upon the encouragement
he has given to railroads, he has shown anything
but a favourable countenance to the water works,
which in India aro of even greater consequence. It
is an extraordinary step to take to withdra iv the
Finance "Minister altogether, and we expect that
Parliament will have something to say to it. Sir
C. WOOD'S proceedings are not looked upon with
much favour in India, and the Governor of Madras,
Sir W. DENISON, has actually refused to carry out
his instructions relative to the position of the Indian
Iced affairs, on the grounds that they are opposed
to the Royal wished, and are in open eontrayention

we should expect to distinguish any administration
of which Sir JOHN LAWRENCE is the head. The
Governor of Bombay has assembled a Public Works
Conference in Poona with the object of determining
the operations of that department, so that Govern-
ment may arrive at the best conclusions with a view
to improving the communications of the country.
A commission has been appointed to examine into
the working of the telegraph throughout all India.
It seems that great delays and irregularities have
occurred, so that their causes and origin are to be
investigated, and the efficiency of all the employes
inquired. This is a very necessary step, since the
safety of a province might depend on the prompt
and accurate working of the telegraph, and it has
been relied on by competent authoritiee for virtually
adding a large number of men to our regular army,
since by its means, in conjunction with the rail-
ways now opening throughout the country, troops
can be quickly and readily summoned to the scene
of action from distant quarters. With regard to
the pending dispute with the Bhootanese, there is
a prospect of their being brought to terms, for an
old pretender to the Throne in Thibet has chosen
this opportune moment to threaten Thibet Proper,
having raised a large force in Chinch. Cense.

ing. A large supply of ordnance has been
shipped from Calcutta to Assam, and other
preparations are progressing, so that we may
hope the affair will be brought to a speedy set-
tlement. Russia is still pushing on her designs
upon India, and we have just now very evident
proof of them, for an embassy has just been de.
spatched from Kokand, an independent state in
Central Asia, to ask the advice and assistance of
the British in reference to the Russian attempt to
make a highroad for troops through that king
dom. The inhabitants of Kokand are apparently
sharp enough to see what this forbodes. What
the Viceroy will advise remains to be seen. He
is now en route for his Durbar at Lahore, at
which he is to receive all the chiefs of the
Punjab. For the first time since the mu-
tiny of 1857, which added so terrible a
celebrity to its name, Delhi will be one of the
stations selected. We regret to find that the
Viceroy's expedition has been chequered by
domestic effiUtion through the accidental death of
Sir ALEXANDER LAWRENCE, son of the late Sir
HENRY. All must sympathise in the Viceroy's
sorrow for the sudden and premature death of his
young relative. His return is looked for with in-
terest, since it will bring with it the opening of the
Legislative Session at Calcutta, which is expected
this year to be of considerable importance. The
members have certainly need to be on the alert to
counteract, as far as it lies in their power, the per-
sistent efforts of the Home Government to centralise
the administrative power.

be consequently affecting the welfare of the com-
munity, it must encourage them to go on and
prosper in their up-hill task. Too much praise can-
not be awarded to those who thus persevere in their
attempts at training and improvements. They are
often surrounded by temptations, and beset with
those who ridicule their endeavours, but if they
succeed in their noble works their reward is certain
and their success is sure. No losses of fortune that
they may meet with in after years can deprive them
of their own intrinsic wealth, a well regulated
heart and a cultivated mind. These will remain to
be their inalienable possessions to smooth the rough
road of the highway of this world, and lead them
on in their efforts to reach another and a better.

It must be a matter of general regret to all who
take an interest in the welfare of trade and the
well-being of their fellows that the attempts which
have recently been made to bring about an under-
standing between the masters and men of the
Midland' collieries have hitherto proved fruitless.
The origin of the strike is doubtless familiar to
our readers. There has lately been a fall in the
price of iron at the rate of about per ton, and
in order to neutralise the effect of this it was
resolved to reduce the wages of the colliers six-
pence a-day, many of the masters being both iron
masters and owners of collieries. Toe colliers
loudly protested against this reduction, but
in vain, and some two months ago twenty
thousand of them- struck work. They argue with
some show of reason that the burden should fall on
the workers in iron rather than in coal, but the
masters retort that coal is the principal ingredient
in iron manufacture. The colliers ought to bear
the loss. However this is hardly just, since if the
price of coal were greatly reduced the colliers
would suffer for it, not the iron workere. So the
matter has gone on for two monthe, with all the
usual features of a prolonged strike, the loss of stop-
page to business, and inconvenience on the part of
the masters, the hardships and struggles on the
part of the men and their families. The iron-
masters have been forced to get their coal
from North Wales and the North of
England, thus introducing a dangerous rival
into the trade whose advent both masters
and men may hereafter be disposed to regret. Under
these circumstances Lord LEIGH, the Lord Lieu-
tenant of the county, and some other independent
noblemen and gentlemen, wisely and kindly endea-
voured to meditate between the contending parties.
They convened a meeting of the owners and the
delegates, and made a modest proposition to which
the men acceded, but the masters unhappily refused
to agree. They have thus prolonged the unhappy
dispute which has already occasioned so much dis-
tress to the men and loss to themselves, and we
cannot help regretting they should not have shown
a fairer spirit of conciliation and compromise when
they had so favourable an opportunity of making
up the quarrel.
