estimated.. by Balbi at 100,000, which is probably
within 3 0,000 of the truth. It has extensive suburbs,
fortress of great antiquity, adorned with Roman
sculptures. The chief buildings are its mosques and
caravanseries. The people derive their subsistence
from commerce and manufactures, in which the arti-
zans are very expert.. The satins and tapestry are
the most esteemed of its fabrics, among which gauzes,
taffetas, and cottons are to be mentioned. The trade
with the interior is facilitated by the caravans which
pass through Broussa, in the line between Smyrna
and other Asiatic towns; the trade by sea is carried
on by the shallow port of Moudaina, on the Galf of
Marmora. The clay called meerschaum is obtained
from a mountain close by Broussa.
The Debats of Tuesday, in an article on Abd-ele
Kader, endeavours to take from the House of
i Orleans
the disgrace of having detained the ex-Emir n cap.
tivity, in violation of a solemn engagement. The
Mats says :—" Abd-el-Keder gave himself up to
Gen. de Lamoriciere on Dec. 21, 1847. It is matter
of notoriety that the Emir had stipulated as conditionof his surrender that he should be sent with his
family to Alexandria or St. Jean d'Acre. Gen. de La-
moriciere, then commandant of the province of Oran,
accepted that proposition, which was ratified by the
Duke d'Aumale, the Governor-General of Algeria.
The Government of King Louis Philippe received oa
December 31, 1847, the news of Abd-el-Kader's
surrender, and of his arrival at Toulon. On Feb. 24,
1848, the council of ministers bad not as yet decided
anything concerning Abd-el-Kader. On April 24th,
1848, the provisional government caused Abd-el-
Kader to be transferred to the chateau of Pau, where
he remained a year, and from that place he was
transferred to the chateau d'Amboise, where he has
remained up to the present time."
This is true enough as far as it goes, but very false
if put forward as an account of the whole matter,
Let us endeavour to supply the omission.
On the 17th of January, 1848, the government of
Louis Philippe was questioned by the Marquis de
Boissy, in the Chamber of Peers, during the debate
on the address, as to its intention of ratifying the
treaty entered into with Abd-el-Kader. M. Guizot,
in his reply, instead of declaring frankly and clearly
that most undoubtedly the Government would ratify
me treaty to which the Duke d'Aumale had given
nis approbation, declared that the Government was
of opinion that it did not belong to a General-in-Chief,
even were he one of the king's sons, to engage poli-
tically, without reservation or examination, the king's
government, and that "in the present question the
government preserved and intended to preserve
the full liberty of examination and decision." If
these words meant anything, they implied the possi-
bility of the non-ratification of the treaty. The
Prince de la Moscowa, in the same sitting, disapprov-
ing' of the language thus used by the hon. Minister
of Foreign Affairs, brought forward this dilemma :
—"Now, of two things, one : either you consider
Abd-el-Kader as a robber—as a pirate, or you look
upon him as a hostile general, who has been conquered.
In the first case, have him hanged lb the second,
treat him according to the law of nations." General
Fabvier, also, spoke strongly against ,the doctrine
which M. Guizot had laid down, and in concluding
his remarks, said, "There is now neither further
ratification nor negotiation to make—Abd-el-Kader
is in your hands, he cannot enter into any further ne•
gotiation. Gentlemen, beware of touching that pre-
cious thing, the honour of France. Remember King
John, Francis 1., and Henry IV., those first
gentlemen of their kingdom I will only add
one word more—if you touch the honour of
France, adieu to victory !" M. Giizot then
declared that " the Government had every
confidence that it was possible for it' to coin-
liate respect for the engagement made with Abd-el-
Kader with what was due to the safety of France.
It was that task which the government had proposed
to itself, and when it thought that it had accomplished
it, the chamber would decide whether the conclusion
come to was well or ill arrived at." The language of
M. Guizot produced the most painful effect on the
public mind, so that when the question came on in
the Chamber of Deputies, in the debate on the address
in that house, M. Guizot found it necessary to alter
his tone. The matter was alluded to on Feb. 5, 1848,
when the Marquis de Larochejaquelin, in his remarks,
observed, " that many persons were struck with the
difference which existed between the engagepents
entered into by the Duke d'Aumale, and the conduct
pursued by the government. "How does it happen,"
asked M. de Larochejaquelin, " that when an
engagement of honour has been entered into by
General Larnoriciere and the Duke d'Aumale,
Gevernor-General of Algeria, the government now
retains Abd-el-Kader in a fort and leaves us
in uncertainty as to whether the word of France
will be kept or not ?" M. Guizot replied
that " his answer would be the same in that Chamber
as in the other; He had in the Chamber of Peers
reserved the right of the government to ratify or not
to ratify the resolutions of its generals, and of the
Duke d'Aumale like the rest; and that right being
so reserved, the government considered it its duty to
conciliate the engagement entered into by the Duke
d'Aumale with the safety of the state. It was true
that the Duke had promised Ahd-el-Kader that he
should be taken to Alexandria or to St. Jean d'Acre ;
such were the terms of the promise—nothing more,
nothing less."
The report of the sitting states that these senti-
ments were received by the chamber with murmurs.
Guizot continued—St. Jean d'Acre was out of
(he question, but, as Alexandria belonged to Egypt,
the government would enter into arrangements with
the Egyptian Government to allow the Emir to be sent
there. The discession there dropped. Now, who
does not see that if Louis Philippe's government had
at first frankly ratified the treaty entered into, Abd-
el-Kader would not have been detained for nearly
five years in confinement? The whole fault, the
world has always thought, lay with the hesitation of
the government in ratifying the engagement of the
Duke d'Aumale. This correction is due to history,
which will decide how to apportion the disgrace of
so long a captivity inflicted on a brave and patriotic

ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE AN D DR
GLOVER.
The circulation given to a statement tending to invalidate the
epression of 'Dr. Glover's opinion in favour of Pale Ale, compels
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS to connect this remarkable dis-
tributien of a calunany with other insidious attacks up
uon their
firm which they have reason to know proceed from anunworthy
and unneighbourly jealously.
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS, In reply, deem it their best
course to adopt the same line of conduct as in the case of the
similar perversion and mutilation of Baron Liebig's meaning, so
indignantly repudiated by that eminent man himself. They pub-
lish, therefore, without abridgement, the letter they received from
Dr. Glover, (having his permission to do so) ; a letter the more
valuable because it was not intended for publication, and is an unpre-
meditated evidence of that learned Chemist's just appreciation of
Pale' Ale.

SHEFFIELD SCHOOL OF DESIGN.

firms in this town—l am not now alluding to minor
esetblishments anti to individuals who would contri-
# u e—that out of 40 or 50 first-class establishments
there are many which could contribute 100/., which
would be a mere drop in the ccsnn of that enormous,
capital which is turned over every year in this g;cat
piece, bat which would enable you to carry on this
school in a manner sufficient and creditable to you all.
I hope that any prejudicee that may have existed among
sonic of your manufacturers have been removed. I
rejoice to know that on tho last occasion of the meeting
of this school ono of those that confessed himselt,
on that platform, as having been heretofore luke-
warm to the interests of the school, has since taken
a lively interest in it, and, having been successful in the
Exhibition in London, has acknowledged that to the stu-
dents of this school he is indnbted for the success he has
attained. Those words ought to make a great impression
on those who may be now, as he once was, lukewarm.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to look on this as a plain
matter of business, I say, then, subscribe your money for
objects of this kind in the same way that you would pay
money for the insurance of your goods. If you mean to
insure the success and continuance of your trade, you
must adopt those means by which you will be enabled to
secure yourselves from the success of other countries,
and even other towns in this country. And you must
bear in mind, that, if you lag behind, they will speedily
pass you. Look across the water. It is not long since,
in this town, there were great apprehensions that your
trade was about to be transplanted to America. Not your
trade, but the produce of your trade dcee, indeed, flow
into America. (Hear, hear.) The noble Duke then
alluded to the increasing appreciation for artistic excel-
lence in America. If (he said) you go into any great
establishment for the manufacture of silver goods in
America, it is ten to one that you will find one of the most
elegant pieces of workmanship was an English order.,
(Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, you may applaud when
you hear it read that the sum of 6001. yearly has
been contributed by the Government to this school. Do
not rely too much on this. Depend upon it, there is a
feeling in the Legislatuee of this country, and throughout
the country itself, that these contributions ought not
to be extended towards these institutions generally.
But while congratulating you upon this addition to the
prizes, I cannot forbear expressing some regret that
those scholarships which were lately inabduced have
been in some degree unsuocessful—not, I believe, from
any inherent fault its their establishment, but because
they have not been adequate in amount, and because
the time has not, perhaps, yet arrived at which their
value can be thoroughly appreciated. I think that this
system of scholarships will be most invaluable, and I
will tell you why. One question that has been asked
with regard to schools of design is this :—Why, you
are educating some 200 or 300 pupils in drawing and
in a knowledge of the fine arts ; what is to become
of them hereafter ? Gentlemen, we propose here to
.nstruct in art, but we do not profess to make artists.
But the objection has something in it ; and I believe
the establishment of scholarships is one of the most
effectual means of rectifying teat defect, namely, that
you are educating up to a certain point a number of
oung men, and not enabling them much to go beyond
that point. Why not ? Because almost the whole of
those pupils are engaged for 10 hours a day in their
usual avocations, and they go to school for one or two
hours in the evening, harassed and worn out in their
physical condition, and with their minds but little in
that state which eeabies them to appreciate the beautiful
or to embrace the lessons there given them ; and so it
must be. But if your institution had scholarships
which, hy a contribution of a sufficient amount to those
who had proved their excellence and their superiority
over their fellows in a fair competition, would enable
them to devote more time to those studies, and to divest
themselves of a portion of that labour which stands
in the way of the attainment of excellence —in
that case you would be elevating those few to
become designers and artists. (Loud Cheers.)
While in that way you are producing, for the promotion
of high art and artistic excellence in the various fabrics
of the country, your English Rafaelle or your Cellini,
you will be at the same time training up a race of men,
who Rill be enabled to make hereafter the fabrics of this
country as distinguished as those who, working under
the auspices of the great men to whom I have referred,
have left to this day works, though greatly inferior to
theirs, yet, I am afraid, superior to many which are fre-
quently produced as good works in the present day.
For many years, and even up to the present day, to a
certain extent, these schools have been condemned, and
we have been told that they have been an entire failure.
I think this has arisen from an ignorant impatience—
from an idea that they are to start all at once into the
full growth of manhood, and that the results are to be
seen in the year following their institution. Anything
connected with the arts and sciences must be a work of
time as well as of labour; and whilst I certainly deny
the failure of these schools, I say, on the other hand,
that, considering the difficulties they have had to contend
with, they have done a great deal, and in some instances
even have done wonders. You compare them with
similar establishments in France, but look at the schools
of Lyons, Sevres, and various others in the territories of
France, and consider how long those have been esta-
blished. That of Lyons has been established perhaps
100 years, and I believe is not by any means the
oldest school of that kind in France. And can
you expect from these infant establishments the
same results that you get from those which have
existed for so many years, and which have been
supported by very large contributions of money from
that source which in France does everything—the public
funds ? I say, then, that there is no Royal road to
art either in this country or any other. You cannot
create either the taste or the power of artistic excellence
in a day, or year, or 10 years. It is true that in ancient
mythology we read that Minerva came forth from the
brains of Jupiter an once in a full and complete panoply
of arts as well as of arms ; but I think that all our ex-
perisnce in these prosaic times will convince us that,
however great may be the genius of our people, we
must not expect Minerva either in schools of design or
in any other branch of manufacture or skill, or in any
of the different walks of life around us. I had hinted
just now the difficulties which these schools have had to
In the first place, I believe that they had,
opposition, but which is known as passive
elowntiellu not d wist any'
resistance, from the old designers in the different trades
_me, who were themselves incompetent to keep their
position, and were afraid of the competition which these
schools were about to raise up against them. Many
have seen the error of their ways, and have adopted
these schools as the means of improving themselves.
That difficulty, therefore, is being removed. But the
manufacturers of Sheffield will forgive me if I say that
there has been another difficulty in the way, viz., the
want of an appreciation of art, and of proper encourage-
ment on the part of the manufacturers. (Cheers.) I
believe there has been some mistake in the course
which hed been fsdlowed in this country with regard
to schools of design. If we have not begun at the
wrong end, we have begun at one end when we ought to
have begun at two ; for I believe that you gentlemen
manufacturers, as well as all others who stand on
this platform, or are sitting among you below, all
equally want educating in art. (Cheers.) I wish to deal
with this subject, addressing a Sheffield audience, not
in high-flown language, but as a matter of business ; and
I say, that in this, as well as other trades, the laws of
supply and demand equally apply ; and you have been
creating a supply, and have not been fostering a de-
mand, because you have not been educating the manu-
lecturers to understand, to appreciate, and to employ
the clever, able, and cultivated workmen. Igo further,
and say that there has been a defect in the education of
those classes which are the purchasers of those articles,
and that those in the highest walks of life want that
amount of education in art which shall enable them to
appreciate that which is excellent, and to purchase that
which is good and beautiful instead of that which is
vicious and ugly. (Cheers.) I do not mean by this
that they are all to become pupils in these different
schools of design, although I do think that there are
many who live within the circuit of these schools who
would do well to enlist themselves and their children in
them. Thero aro plenty of hours in the day for such
classes ; but I say my noble friend on my right, and I
and every body else—though, perhaps, some of us may
be a little too old now, but at any rate our sons—ought
to be sufficiently educated in art to appreciate that which
the skilled workman shall produce. (Hear, hear.) Those
who cannot attend schools of design ought to be edu-
cated in art at those places of instruction to which they
resort. In all those elements of instruction which are
given in our public schools, I should be glad to see
some means of education in art which shall give that
full appreciation of what is beautiful—some means
of art-education which should accomplish the o
ject in those schools ay, and
ties themselves—which we are attempting
the artisans in the schools the

You will find that the arts have declined, and a vicious

construction have been introduced, in ail int,tantn.s, in
tile gradual decay and demorelizations of kingdoms.
(Cheer,.) I need. not carry you back to the catey As-
syrian and Egyptian empires; but if you study the rc.
curds of those kingdoms you will fled the facts I state
to be true ; and if you visit the remains of those king-
your own eyes the truth of the
doms you will see with
assertion, and that everything that is vicious and bad
was erected in those tinter when the Governments were
fading, and their kingdoms vanishing from the face of
the earth. Tee sass', will apply
with regard to Athens
and Rome. Will
any one tell me that the works of
Pericles led to the downfall of Athens—I mean his
artistic works ? Will anybody tell me that the glo•
rious beauties of the Parthenon,
and all sbo other wag-

nificent buildings which even now astonish tee
eyes and excite the envy and adtd.ration of those who
cannot imitate them—will eny one tell me that that was
what led to the end of Athens? (Cheers.) Far from,
it. But it was soon after that time that increased licen-
tiousness and the thirst for unjust war and undue ag-
grendizement led to the dowtfsll of Athens. And I
believe bat for the attention which was devoted to the
arts in that city that its destruction would have come
before. (Cheers.) And if the fame of that empire, and
the fame of an individual is of any value, let me compare
the state at this moment of Athens and the pinnacle of
repute on which she still stands, although denuded of
those who founded that city—let me compare that state
and that city with the more rigid and stern people if
Sparta, whose town at this moment can scarcely be dis-
cerned—in fact, there are disputes as to the position in
which it stood. (Cheers.) I have been led into these
observations with a view of enforcing upon you the im-
portant results of art-education for all classes. It would
be most valuable as enabling you. the manufacturers, and
the workmen, to exercise such knowledge as you may
possess, and such taste as you may possess, in the pro-
duction of good articles. It will enable you to discard
that odious taste for fashion and novelty which is now
injuring the trade of this and many other towns. (Hear,
hear.) It is this vicious taste for novelty which leads
manufacturers always to be runri g after am() h ng
new—which makes them, instead of looking for what
is beautiful and good, only seek that which is novel,
and, discarding that which is really of good ano
sound construction, look only to some tawdry,ornament
or to some form, or adaptation of a form, which has
hitherto been unappropriated to any purpose to which
either nature or art, or anything, except the morbid
brain of such men, ever intended such article to be ap-
plied: I hid intended, had time permitted, to read one
or two passages from a book. Let me commend it to
your attention. Ir is the- report. of-Mr. Redgrave, to
whom not only schools of design, bat art in general, is
deeply iedebted. While I deprecate novelty and a ser-
vile following of fashion, forgive me if I also deprecate
what may justly be called the robbery of French and
other designs. I will not enter upon any moral consid-
eration. I will not say whether this kind of robbery is
more justifiable than any other, and whether those who
would scorn to appropriate their neighbour's goods, think
that they may fairly appropriate the result of their
neighbour's brain, and by picking to pieces the works of
French designers, and putting them into some new and
fantastic form, produce what they call some new English
designs, and perhaps register them accordingly. Let me
impress upon you to discard this practice, and to employ
-instead, those men to give designs for you which shall en-
able you to enter the race of competition, You will have
already found that I am no flatterer. I hope that what
I have said are truths; but, if they aro tru, hs,l am afraio
they are somewhat unpalatable. But. I have not yet
done. I rejoice in the great success of the iron and steel
trade of this town, but regret the same cannot be said or

honorary secretary, commenced the proceedings .hy
reading the report, which stated that—
" Some the last annual report of the conned a complete
and important change has taken place in the management
of schottls of design. The provincial schools have hitherto
been under the control and direction of thu masters and
other officers of the London school, an arrangement for
many reasons unsatisfactory. Under the system at
eresent adopted, all the schools of design in the country,
that of London included, are placed under a central au•
thority established at Marlborough-house, entitled `The
Department of Practical Art,' and forming a component
part of the Board of Trade. Tho two gentlemen placed
at the head of this department have recently paid an
official visit to Sheffield, and expressed themselves in
every respect satisfied with the management and efficiency
of the sshool, and assured the council not only of the
continuance of the present grant, but of further assistance,
on condition, however, that some stops shotld speedily
be taken by the town to erect a building suitable for the
efficient carrying out of the extended system of art-edu-
cation contemplated by Government. That system em-
lat aces the universal diffasion of a knowledge of art•
throughout the entire population. The mode in which
this system is proposed to ha carried out is by the maul):
liehment, under the auspices of the Petard of Trade, cd
elementary drawing schools throughout the kingdom,
each series of schools having for its centre a school of
design. Placed as we are in the midst of a large and in-
creasing population, we may expect shortly to see nume-
rous schools springing up. It will thus be self-evident
that an important and responsible position will or ought
to be held by the Sheffield School of Design. The school
continues to maintain the satisfactory position it has oc
cupiod for some years. The debt has increased materi-
ally; the attendance of pupils continues steady; the
studies are carried on in the same manner as heretofore,
and will be rendered more complete by the addition of a
class for colour, which it is intended to establish forth-
with. Hitherto, such a class has been considered unne-
cessary, and so long as the school was merely viewed as
as adjunct to manufactures, where form alone prevails,
perhaps it was. But in order to meet the extended views
now entertained by the Government, the establishment
of this class becomes absolutely necessary, Of the ar-
tistical progress of the school the public have abundant
proofs in witnessing the number of medals distributed
among the pupils, and which were awarded to them at
the recent exhibition of their works at Marlborough
Home. And the Council cannot omit the opportunity
of expressing the satisfaction with which they regard
the wisdom of Government in instituting an examination
of the works sent from the various schools of ornamental
art in the country—an examination entrusted to Sir C.
E istlake, P.R.A., D. Maclise, RA., and R. Redgrave,
Itt.A., gentlemen whose high position in art entitles their
decision to be regarded with the utmost attention and
respect. Bat, in the opinion of the Council, the most
gratifying, and conclusive testimony to the value and effi-
ciency of the school is to be found in the recently pub-
lished report of the juries of the Great Exhibition—a tea.
timony,be it renaembered,coming from a tribunal composed
of the most distinguished men of all nations, selected for
their special knowledge of the various subjects submitted to
their consideration; and. than with the following extract
from that report, Class-XX11.,p.499, the Council think they
cannot more fitly close the present annual report:—' The
jury think it deserving of notice, with respect to this
branch of industry (that of iron and hardware). that, in
all the communications which have been made to them
by the persons in it, they find observations commenda-
tory of the School of Design id Sheffield, and expressive
of the high sense they entertain of the services it has
rendered to ornamental art, and in particular to the ma-
nufactures of that place.' "
The Duke of NEWCASTLE then said—Ladies and gen-
tlemen, before I proceed to call upon those gentlemen who
have kindly undertaken to propose and second the reso-
lutions on this occasion, it becomes my duty to make a
few observations, occupying the honourable position of
your president for the day, to this crowded and most re-
spectable meeting. I confess thetll did somewhat hesitate 1
to accept the honour which was proposed to me by your
worthy president and fellow townsman, Mr. Barker, to
occupy this chair, which has been so much more worthily
filled on previous occasions, not so mach on account of
any unwillingness on my 'part to take my fair share in
undertakings of this nature, but because I did feel, after
this chair had been filled for some successive years by
various members of the aristocracy of this neighbourhood,
that on this occasion, so immediately following that Great
Exhibition which I hope will give a fresh impetus, not
only to schools of design, but to art and science gene-
-1 florally, you might have had occupying this chair one cf
those aristocrats of art and science to whom the country
is beholden in a great measure, for the success of that
Great Exhibition. (Hear, hear.) My reason is that I felt,
although I had taken a deep interest in the art and sci-
ence of this country, and generally throughoat Europe,
neverthelesss I was not competent to instruct others ;
and I could have wished that you might have beard from
this chair such lessons as might have been impressed
upon your memories, and such as might hare conduced
to the future success and prosperity of this school.
(Hear, hear.) But if I hesitated for a moment, I felt
that this at least was no concern of mine, and I was
most glad to obey the call of Mr. Barker, and addition-
ally so, because notwithstanding the reason I have
given, I al o felt that no man professing claims to
staterattnehip—that no one occupying the position of a
legislator of this country, whether elective or heredi.
tary, could not but feel the liveliest interests in those
arts and sciences which they are intended to develope.
( Applause,) I do not allude to those civilizing and
humanizing effects on the people of this country which
such institutions are so well calculated to promote.
(Hear.) Ido not allude to them—not that I undervalue
them—but because I mean, when I say it, that every
legislator ought to do everything in his power to pro-
mote those objects. lam sure that this is common
ground on which we :can all meet to promote and pro-
tect the industry of this country—to protect it in that
way in which we ate all agreed upon, namely, to enable
that industry Ol compete honourably and fairly in the
great race of rivalry which is now set before you.
(Hear, Hear.) I am convinced that the application of
art in this country, in every department of trade, has
now become a mater of vital necessity, and that if
you mean to carry successfully to the ends of the
earth that great trade which, to use an American
phrase, you are now "driving," you must persevere in
the applications of your minds and your intelligence,
and, by the assistance of your sons, do something to-
wards promoting those arts by which alone successful 1
rivalry can be maintained. (Hear, Hear.) You have
just heard the report of the council for the past year
read to you, and I think on the whole I may, like my
predecessors in this chair, offer you congratulationslon the
retrospect which the report holds out to you. As regards
the future, that I believe to be mainly in your own hands.
We have heard in the report of the prizes awarded to the
pupils brought up in this school. We have heard of the
interest which that department of the Government
which presides over these schools has especially mani-
' ested in the school at Sheffield. Vie have heard, more-
over, of acts of individual liberality from individuals in
this town towards the school, and I say that all these
things are matters of congratulation. But let me say—
for I wish not to come here to do otherwise than to
speak my mind to you—l hope you will forgive me if I
say that my feeling of satisfaction is not entirely unal-
loyed. Since I arrived in this town I have visited
rooms in which this School of design is held, and I must
fairly confess to you that I do not think that they come
in any degree to what may fairly be expected in so great
and flourishing a community as that which I am now
addressing. I have visited the principal room, and that
is bad enough. I have visited a room which is called the
geometrical school, and certainly my first impression
was—ls this a place in which to edam's the rising New-
tons of Sheffield ? I have visited the figure room, and
there I find a room on which the sun is streaming
at the present moment ; and I appeal to every lover of
art to tell me what tho effect of such a light must be.
I find a room in which every figure there placed has
those false shadows fatal to the education of those who
copy them, while it is utterly out of the power of your
able and intelligent master to make any other arrange-
ment in that building which you have at present. I say,
first and foremost, you want a better room. lam sorry
that is not all ; but before I make any further sugges-
tions let me briefly point out to yea the financial
accounts. You have received 6001. a-year from the Go-
vernment, and the whole contribution which this town

Inohoa/v.e
noN odwo,ubwth, nuts I tell you that the
whale of the Government grant is expended iu the
payment of masters (and that they are not overpaid
you will admit), and that the means for all other pur-
poses of the school—for the purchasing of works of art,
for the increase of the library—are dependent on that
small sam of 2001., I think you will say that you ere
not giving a fair trial to• the experiment of thete
schools, end are thwarting and crippling tan efficiency
which tiny be expected from them. I say, then, first if
all, you want a better room and a better library. Yea
ought to have a fund out of which to devote 50/. a-ye:
to the increase of the library and for the purchase of
works of art, accessible to all the students, which lore

take an interest in the school, bat the public generally
—a museum of art, accessible not only to the students,
but the whole population—a museum of art that may be
an appendage to the school, but nevertheless supported
by the public ; and which, if exertions are used, may

DR. GLOVER TO MR. ALLSOPP.
" Newcastle-on-Tyne, April 11.
" Sir,—lt was not my intention, in writing the hasty note to
The Lancet,' to cast any reflections upon, or to implicate in auy
way, respectable brewers of pale ale.
" When I first saw the statement about the alleged use of strych-
nine in bittering ale, I looked upon the assertion as incredible, both
on account of the price of the drug and the symptoms it would
create ; but on experiment. I found that strychnine possesses such
wonderful bitterness, that it might perhaos be used as AN ADJUVANT
at least by UNPRINCIPLED PERSONS. In short, my object was simply
to show that the thing was not altogether so .impossible as it ap-
peared at first sight to be.
" My opinion is, that hops should not enjoy the exclusive privilege
of bells; used for bittering beer ; but I do not pretend to discuss the
point with practical men.
" I know there are bitters which might be used beneficially, in a
medical point of view.
" With regard to analysing your beer, my time is taken up, sl
far as analysing and chemistry are concerned, with two kinds of in-
quiries—lst, those which are purely scientific ; and 2d, those which
are profitable. If you wish me, in the latter capacity, to analyse
and report on your beer, I, of course, can have no objection.
" I have to prepare for an absence of three or four days to-morrow,
and so beg you to excuse me replying to the letter of Mr. ]3ottingen,
for which I am much obliged.

" P.S. I presume you will hardly expect me to write to The
Lancet.' However, I shall be at home on Thursday evening, and
most assuredly I have no desire to say anything which could weakea
toe confidence of the public in your beer. But that I am not now
in the habit of drinking Bitter Beer, I should be glad to show my
confidence by drinking plenty of it.."
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS beg to refer to the letter of Mr.
HENRY ALLSOPP on this subject, in the Monthly Journal of
Medical Science " for October, in the concluding paragraph of which
It is said—
" I inserted Dr. Glover's good-natured remark on my Bitter Beer
as an incidental testimonial'--no more. I never called it a cer-
tificate,' nor did I apply to him, or any other medical gentleman, for
one. lam not responsible that such a construction has been placed
upon the off-hand expressions of good opinion which have been sent
to me from all quarters."
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS, in conclusion, wish to draw the
attention of the public and the trade to the fact, that, by this dis-
ingenuous system of attack and the perversions of facts gratui-
tously adopted, they are unwillingly drawn into that publicity the
courting of which is made an accusation against them.

the services of the school of design have been under-
valued and repudiated, and I firmly believe, looking to
the admirable qualifications of precious metals for works
of art—looking to the fact, which I think all must feel,
that there is something peculiarly inappropriate, I had
almost said disgusting, in seeing in a material of this
value a mere effort to amass a huge quantity of silver
with a view to expense, entirely repudiating all taste and
delicacy of touch ;—when we look to what has been done
in the works in precious metals in all former ages, that
they have a thousand beauties, we must feel it is a dis-
grace to this town and to the country that they shoulo
not bring the art in this respect to a higher pitch of ex-
cellence than they have. I feel that I have occupied h
much more of your time than I ought. But before I call
upon my noble friend (Lord Milton) to propose the first
resolution, let me beg of you not to leave this hall with
out a due impression of the importance of this school,
Let me ask you not to go home thinking no more about
the school or about its results till the next meeting shall
recall you to this hail, but lot me ask you, and espe-
cially those members of the fair sex who have assem-
bled here in such numbers to-day, and proved by
their attendance the interest they take—let me call upon
them at their fireside to enforce the merits of his school
upon those who may be absent to day, whether hus-
bands, brothers, or fathers, and so to exercise that influ-
ence on behalf of this institution—if, indeed, they are
persuaded of its
inexcellence—that when you next meet,
its funds may be a different position, and that we may
be enabled to boast that one of the great objects for
which the liberality of the Government is given is in a
fair course of being realized. In these arts, education is
no longer one of the luxuries of life, but one of the
greatest necessities for all classes. I do not wish to
place this particular branch of education higher than it
deserves, but it occupies a high position, apart from
financial and commercial considerations. It is one im-

portant element in that great structure of moral and in-
tellectual discipline of which religion must indeed be
the basis, but of which the ornamental arts are the apex.
I believe, if you will just examine this subject, you will
find that those who, in whatever walk of lite, have de-
voted themselves to the studies of the doe arts, have been
among not only the best fathers, the best brothers, and
the best suns in the community, but also among the best
and wisest members of the great family of man.
The noble Duke resumed his seat amid loud cheers.
The resolutions were then proposed and agreed to.
Thanks were voted to the masters on the motion of
Dr. F. BRANSON, seconded by Mr. RIDGE.

Mr. YOUNG MITCHELL, head master of the school, in
returning thanks, remarked upon the establishment of a
School of Practical Art at Marlborough House, and ob-
served upon the great responsibility that was assumed
by the managers of this department in exhibiting speci-
mens of various descriptions, not only of the best
description and most elegant and appropriate design,
but also others to which they had attached the short and
pithy criticism, "bad taste," " false principles," Sze.; and
he believed they had been driven to do that by the obs-
tinacy of some of the manufacturers, who being practical
men, would not allow themselves to be judged by any
but men acquainted with the trade.

PROPOSED ACADEMY OF ARTS IN LEEDS.—The
patrons of art will be gratified to learn that it is in-
tended to establish an Academy of Arts in Leeds. As
a necessary preliminary step efforts are being made to
obtain the support of the nobility and gentry and gene-
ral patrons of art to the undertaking, and already both
influential patronage and raid have been promised. The
Primary object of the academy is the general improve-
ment of art in the locality. In the plan of its promoters
it is not viewed as a rival iestitution to the School of
Design, but es an Kid to that admirable society in fur,
tittering the wady of the higher breeches of art to which
the School of Design may he considtred ee preperetery;
