Mr. BAZLEY, president of the Manchester Chamber
of Commerce, said happily the popular opinion of this
country was universally in favour of general education.
The intelligent classes on every hand in Manchester were
in favour of education becoming as universal as possible;
and it also fortunately happened that a large majority of
them believed that the beat plan that could be adopted
for facilitating the great object of education would be
through the medium of a municipal, borough, or parish
rate, applying a fund so raised to the support of such
portion of education as could be received indifferently
by all. Though they (the deputation) had associated for
the purpose of establishing secular instruction, they were
by no means indifferent to the religious instruction of
the rising generation; but, at the same time, they did
not think it was the business of the schoolmaster to be-
come a religious teacher. They thought, on the con-
trary, taking into account the division between the
various religious bodies throughout the country, that if
there could be a system under which a schoolmaster
could give secular instruction to the ignorant, leaving
religious knowledge to be supplied by the ministers
of religion, the happiest results would ensue ; and
as in this country religious instruction was amply
provided for, they were of opinion that provision should
be equally made for the dissemination of secular know-
ledge, which was so requisite for the guidance of the
people, especially in this age when it was in the highest
degree desirable that the ignorant should be able to
understand the laws they were called on to obey, and
to become in all respects useful members of society.
The association, of which he was a member, did not
propose to convey instruction in a way which would
be offensive to the religious principles or scruples of
any party, nor to interfere with the religious teaching
of any body of professing Christians, or even of the
members of the Jewish persuasion; but they said to
religious teachers of all denominations, "Do your
duty, and permit us to do a duty which is evidently
incumbent on some one to perform in a country where
such a lamentable amount of ignce:ance prevails." The
Legislature had provided a system, of education which
had been of immense benefit tr, the poor creatures in
manufacturing districts. The little girls under it had
not only been taught reading and writing, but the equally
important accomplishments of knitting and sewing,
which had been productive of immense advantages to
those who had sought employment in the manufac-
tories. The boys, too, by means of the education
they received, were able to undertake the performance
of much superior duties in these establishments than
formerly. But that system had not proved adequate to
the necessities of the case, and they therefore hoped that
his Lordship, whom they know to bo the friend of edu-
cation, would give some attention to the subject, with
the view of proposing to the country a comprehensive
scheme of education. Though he had a draft of a Bill
which he wished to put into the hands of his Lordship,
the details were by no means so perfect as they could
wish. They preferred, however, dwelling on the prin-
ciple they were desirous of initiating, and would be
thankful if the Government would take the subject into
consideration, and propose some great measure which
might be satisfactory to all parties. In Lancashire, in
particular, it was satisfactory for them to find that the
largest ratepayers approved of the scheme to which he
now called the attention of his Lordship, whilst various
classes in the community looked with great favour on
the proposition ; and the deputies looked forward to the
time when a united effort would be made which would
result in a scheme of education being
,propounded on
some principle which, whilst it did not invade the reli-
gious scruples of any body, would give all classes an
amount of instruction by which they might be able to
conduct themselves as rational and efficient members of
society, and do good to themselves and their common
country.

The Rev. W. Mauteow said that Mr. Bailey had
stated that their scheme was a secular one, but it was
not on that account hostile to religion; on the contrary,
they thought it was well fitted to promote the interests
of religion. it recognised the teaching at any particular
time, and in a way that might seem most expedient to
the teacher, of those great moral principles which con-
stituted the practical part of religion. It recognised the
Divine Being, the love of him and love to one another,
and the obligations of truth, justice, honesty, kindness,
and charity. There were difficulties, he admitted, in con-
nexion with that question, which the association had
taken into consideration. One of those was, that a Class
of persons connected with the existing schools, and who

Another was, that other classes, comprising Noncon-

belonged to the Established Church, had

be
the i
compulsory ; that inculcation of doctrinal
religion should not be part of the school
education;
and that no part of the rates
should be applied directly or indirectly to the teaching
of
. doctrinal religion. They did not think there would
be any lack of religious instruction if that scheme of
theirs was carried into execution; they thought the
zeal which would be manifested among professing
Christians and ministers of the Gospel would do much
to supply the deficiency of their schools in that respect.
Mr. W. F. HOYLAND, a member of the Society of
Friends, said he had much pleasure in having that op-
portunity of stating very briefly to his Lordship, on
behalf of the Society of Friends in Manchester, that
they took a deep interest in this important question.
They would rejoice to see the benefits of a sound and
liberal education diffused as widely as possible throughout
the community, more especially among the ignorant and
destitute classes. Entertaining those views they had
taken some pains in investigating the two schemes
brought before the public. With regard to the national
scheme, they did not observe anything in its clauses ad-
verse to religious liberty, or that would interfere with
the rights of conscience, nor anything in its provisions
to which they could conscientiously object; but they
would feel a very strong objection to any system in which
religious instruction was paid for out of a public rate.
The opinions, however, of their body were so well known
on that point that he would not enlarge upon it. In con-
clusion he might observe that the Society of Friends
in Manchester had thought it right to issue a do-
cument
relative to one of the educational plane, which
he should be happy to present to his Lordship as more
fully explanatory of their views respecting it.

Mr. W. RA.YNER WOOD Sl need le,
the Noble Lord how this measure affected the
ciples of civil and religious liberty, of which hie
had always been the stanch advocate. Four years age
he had the honour of addressing a memorial from Man-
chester to the Marquis of Lansdowne, in favour of the
adoption of a national system of education, from which le
he would read an extract to his Lordship. It was as fol- .'e
lows:—" That 'your memorialists would rejoice, above
all, to see established throughout the country a compre-
hensive scheme of national education, by which the great
mass of the people would be provided with sound mental,.
industrial, or moral training—the children of different
faiths taught in the same school their common duties,
and the spirit of mutual respect and toleration—and in-
struction in the religious principles of particular deno-
minations left to the teachers of each denomination."
With reference to this association, he had only lately
become a member of it; but he believed the provisions
of the measure now submitted to his Lordship's conside-
ration were entirely in accordance with those principles
to which he had understood Lord Lansdowne to give the
sanction of his approval.
Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P., said he wished just to notice
the great affinity, he thought ho might say the identity
of this scheme of education with the plan already so suc-
cessfully carried on in Ireland under the direction of the
Government. The arrangement proposed in the schools
was as nearly as possible the same; there was the same
separation of secular from religious instruction, and the
same attempt at combination of persons of different reli-
gious opinions; and, in the view of the projectors of
this scheme, the result would be the elevation of educa-
tion itself. So loeg as the schoolmaster was merely a
sort of journeyman minister or clergyman, they should
scerely expect that secular instruction should attain to
that high character which it was so desirable it should
assume. The differences between this and the Irish
system were chiefly, if not exclusively, those which re-
lated to the rating and to local management; but, as to
the schools themselves, they wished to adopt the regu-
lations followed in the Irish schools. The object of the
deputation was, therefore, to raise English education to
the standard of Irish education, there being this differ-
ence between the cases, that the criminal returns for
Ireland showed the efficiency of the schools there in the
continued decrease in the per tentage of criminals who
received instruction, while no such result was obtained
in this part of the kingdom; and as they had often
heard of " justice to Ireland," he hoped in this matter
it would not be too much to ask for justice to England.
Lord Joser RUSSELL said—l have a very few remarks
to trouble you with on this subject; but in the first
place, let me say I think the country is indebted to you,
gentlemen, who are making an effort on behalf of educa-
tion. I have very long felt that the state of education
in this country is not such as we should be proud of,
and indeed such as we ought almost to be ashamed of;
and, therefore, I think any gentlemen who have com-
bined for the purpose of improving the education of the
country, whether they succeed or fail in that object, de-
serve credit for making the attempt itself. Of course
there is no privaie end to be obtained in that attempt,
and your labours can only be for the advantage of the
country itself. With regard to anything further, I
have to state that I mast not be understood as express-
ing the opinion of the Government, which has not come
to any decision on this subject at the present moment,
and, I may say that any of the remarks which I may
myself make on the subject must be taken as subject to
further consideration and reflection by myself. The
question mentioned by some gentlemen as to the Govern-
ment proposing a scheme of national education is
one that requires to be very deeply considered before
it is adopted. The Government of Lord Melbourne
once proposed what they thought might be an improve-
ment in thegreat system of education; and that was only
carried in the House of Commons, in a Committee of
the whole House, by a majority of two. Sir James
Graham, again, under the Government of Sir R. Peel,
proposed a scheme of public education, and afterwards
made alterations and concessions in. the plan—and very
properly made them—to meet objections; but at last he
was obliged to abandon the measure altogether. Upon
the whole, there are circumstances which show the diffi-
culty in the way of the Government proposing a scheme
of national education. My own opinion is that the
question is advancing to a solution; but I know it is the
opinion of Lord Lansdowne, and it is also my own, that
the question is not at present in such a state as to be
ripe for the Government undertaking it; and under-
taking it prematurely would be more likely to mar the
object than to promote it. So far, then, as to
the Government. With regard to your particu-
lar scheme, I wish not to say much about
it; but I wish, gentlemen, to consider—and I think
the Government would be obliged to consider, if they
undertook it—what the state of the country is, and what
the opinion of the public would be regarding it. When
there were only Sunday-schools existing in the country
for the poorer classes, the British and Foreign School
Society attempted to establish a more general system of
daily instruction. They made it necessary in their
schools that instruction in the Bible should be given,
they refused to accept any creeds, cateohisms, or any
thing that would exclude those who agreed to the read-
ing of the Bible; but that evidently included religious
instruction. When the National School Society was
set up, they required instruction not only in the Bible,
but instruction in the Liturgy and the Catechism of the
Church of England. There have been, also a great
many schools established by the Wesleyan body, who
require that the whole of the Bible shall be read in those
schools, and are not only against excluding religious in-
struction, but against the reading of portions only of the
Scriptures. That shows that the tendency of all those
different societies, and I might add the Congregationa-
lists and others; and the employment of the sums they
have collected have all been directed to combine reli-
gious with secular instruction. And I think, though it is
a system that may be changed, Sou must not omit that
fact as an important element in the consideration of the
schools which already exist. It is!proposed by this Bill
to combine the maintenance of the new schools with the
schools now existing. That would be very much a
matter of detail, and would depend upon whether they
could be maintained in a way to which these societies
would agree. I think that at present certainly the gene-
ral opinion of the country is in favour of a combination
of religious with secular instruction. Perhaps I may
have some prejudices myself on this subject. I have very
long belonged to the British and Foreign School Society,
and have very much adopted their views on this subject;
but that may be a prejudice. Mr. Fox says, and says
very truly, that this scheme is very similar to that
scheme which the Government has adopted, and which
is in force in Ireland, and has worked very successfully.
But I think it hardly follows that although it is the best
for Ireland that it would be the best for this country.
That, I think, is a point which may be disputed. I do not
wish to say anything further with regard to this particu-
lar scheme. There is ono thing, however, that I have seen
with great satisfaction, with regard to Manchester. Al-
hold in my hand the protest of the Society of

I have referred, although it was met by a great deal
and clamour at first, yet the ul-
timate PPomaoterseitsiuolnt was that great efforts were made
to promote education, and great advantages
ensued from that attempt. I will certainly say
further that I do not share in the opinion of those who
think that there is any hostility between secular and
religious instruction. My opinion certainly is, that if
the whole country was to say "We must give up all
hope of combining religious with secular instruction;
it is iu vain to attempt it any more, and we can only by
general consent give secular instruction," I am con-
vinced that so far from that being hostile to religious
instruction it would prepare the minds of the pupils who
received this secular instruction for the reception of re-
ligious instruction, and would make them better able to
understand that which the ministers of religion would
themselves have to communicate to them. By giving
them secular instruction, however, you may seek to
convey it, you cannot fail to lead the mind to love and
venerate the Deity, whose wisdom and beneficence are
seen in the works of creation; and to love our neigh-
bours—not to mention those great moral doctrines which,
although not religion itself, cannot fail to prepare the
minds of children, as I have said, for the reception of

The Rev. Dr. BEARD said, in relation to a remark of
Lord John Russell, that the Bible was used in the British
and Foreign Society schools—the Bible was not excluded
from the schools by any provision of the Bill of the
association, which gave the power of choosing school-
books to the school committees; and if those committees

resolved on introducing the Bible, it would be introduced.

title on board, and seven-eighths of those who had
embarked with light and bounding hearts, were sunk
in the ocean. The fearful catastrophe was occasioned
by fire, the most frightful and appalling of the many
contingencies to which mariners are subjected in the
exercise of their perilous vocation. It was about
twenty minutes before one on Sunday morning, ac-
cording to the statements of Mr. VINCENT, the only
surviving officer, and of Mr. NEILsoN, one of the tees
passengers who escaped, that the fire was first ob-
served. She had left the Scilly Isles well behind at
the time, being more than one hundred miles in a
west-south-westerly direction. Within less than ten
minutes the flames were bursting up the fore and
main hatchways. The alarm was forthwith given,
but too many, alas! of the passengers and crew were
never enabled to reach the deck, being either suffo-
cated by the dense smoke or reserved for a still more
painful death in their berths or cabins.
Every effort was at once made to check the progress
of the conflagration. Captain SYMONS, who on the
first alarm had rushed on deck in his shirt and
trousers, gave directions that wet swabs and other
things calculated to smother the flames should be
placed on the gratings of the spar deck hatch, and a
hose was brought to play on the main deck ; the
deck pump was also kept at work, and some hay that
was stowed away between the engine-room crank
gratings was ordered to be flung overboard, a
command that was partially obeyed. The
main body of the hay, however, speedily
became ignited—the men, half scorched, were
obliged to abandon the pump and hose from the ex-
cessive heat. The flames seized on the hencoops and
paddle-boxes, and it became but too painfully per-
ceptible that no particle of hope remained of saving
the ship or cargo, and that every effort should be
directed to the preservation of the lives of as many of
the unfortunate persons on board as possible. This
could only be achieved by means of the boats. But
here comes the most melancholy part of the narrative.
Through some sad mismanagement, occasioned by
the confusion that necessarily prevailed on every
side, the alarm and suffering from the fierceness of
the conflagration, and the brief time within which the
objects should be accomplished, the boats, although
sufficient, it is said, to save every soul on board,
could not be made available. We are told by Mr.
VINCENT, that " the mail-boat was lowered with
20 or 25 persons in it, but was immediately
swamped and went astern, the people clinging to each
other. They were all lost! The pinnace was next
lowered, but she hung by the fore tackle, and
being swamped, the people were all washed out 1 !
In lowering the second cutter the sea raised her
and unhooked the fore tackle, so.that she fell down
perpendicularly, and all but two persons in her were
washed out.
Here is a catalogue of horrors affording another
appalling instance of the utter inefficiency of ordina-
rily constructed boats for all purposes other than
" harbour use" and "passing muster" with the au-
thorities. In a gale of wind they are swamped by
the sea; in a calm they are buried beneath the over-
whelming weight of the affrighted sufferers. A ship's
boat of ordinary construction must be lowered
from the ship's side systematically, davits cleared,
gripes and slings cast off, and, most important of all,
tackles unhooked, or be prevented from thus detach-
ingthe sea, when the boat yields to the surge of
themselves
at all times sudden and violent to-
wards the afterpart of vessels of large ton-
nage. With life-boats of proper construction,
placed in an accessible part of the vessel,
sue was available. Where
these tedious and jeopardizing preparations would be
avoided. We are told that the ill-fated vessel in
question was supplied with throe of the latter descrip-
tion, but that only were
the other tiest Were they doing dity as part of
the paddle-box, and from the newness of their
fittings difficult to unship ?
or were they stowed
" on board," beyond the reach of sudden emergency?
These are subjects that must be thoroughly investi-
gated,r' and clear, distinct, and unequivocal answers

Even
of the three life-boats said to be on board,
only one (ofo theGllEE above
was made
available, and it was by paeans thereof
that the lives of the scanty remnant-21 out
of 162 —wore preserved. Three boats only—the
life-boat, a dingy, and a gig— got afloat. The
dingy could not possibly have lived in such a sea,
but those on board of her were taken into the life-

tain Commissioners to inquire into their causes of
complaint. Had Earl GREY held the office he now
holds in 1815, would he have sent, instead of re-inforce-
ments to the Duke of WELLINGTON, to check
NAPOLEON'S advance into Belgium, three Com-
missioners to Brussels, to inquire into the causes
of complaint, which the Emperor of the French
might have against us ? Had he done so, his
conduct with regard to the French chief,
would not have been one whit more absurd
than his conduct with regard to Kafir chiefs has
been; The consequence of this absurd conduct is
now evident; as is well observed by the Cape Town

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 31.—His MAJESTY has been
indisposed for some days, and though medical bulle-
tins are issued, the nature of the illness is not stated.
This morning's bulletin says
nas DIAJEsTY is
improving,
"but he will be obliged to keep his bed for
some days.

MELANCHOLY OCCURREN CH.—On Sunday after-
noon, about two o'clock. a fine little girl, lye years of age,
daughter of Mr. Proctor, one of the resident officers of the
London and North-Western Railway, at Edgehill station,
near Liverpool, was playing about in front of the station, and
just as a train was approaching she endeavoured to run
across the line, but before she could reach the other side the,
poor child fell, with a leg and an arm lying across the out-
side rail. The entire train passed over he severing the
arm and leg, and after lingering in excruciating agony until
Monday morning, death happily put a period to the unfor-
tunate sufferers misery. Another disaster arose from the,
same catastrophe. The ticket collector, John Normanby,
seeing the imminent danger of the little girl rar to her aid,
but before he could accomplish his humane Lairpose the
buffer of the engine knocked him down, and he fell com-
pletely doubled up against the platform. He thus escaped
instant death, although the injuries he has sustained are of
so serious a nature that he now lies in a very precarious
state. On inquiry on Monday afternoon our reporter was
informed that Normanby is progresssing as favourably as
can be expected, but that very slight hopes are entertained
of his recovery.
DISCOVERY OF Two DEAD CHILDREN IN FLEET-
STREET.—Last night, at nine o'clock, as police-constable
362, of the City force, commenced duty, his attention was
drawn to a large bundle lying in the passage of No. 6,
Pleydell-street, Fleet-street. On proceeding to the spot, he
discovered the bodies of two male children enclosed in a
kind of white sheet; he at once conveyed them to Dr.
Hutchinson, of Farringdon-street, who pronounced both to
be full-born infants; life, however, was quite extinct. No
clue has been gained of the perpetrators of this unnatural
crime.

themselves vanquished. The first step, then, towards a
satisfactory termination of the war would be an ordi-
nance embodying the Colonial Militia. To attempt this
through the modium of our present council would be
madness, and any endeavours to enforce it would only
increase the difficulties of the Government. No ordi-
nance would secure the obedience of the people, unless
it issue from their own representatives. Consequently,
we regard as the first step towards the salvation of the

The Cape of Good Hope accounts received this 1 norn•
ing are deemed very unsatisfactory, and, aecordi ng to
the letters, the trade of the colony is suffering very
much in consequence. The loss of cattle was forch ig up
prices, and consumers would be much affected in c °nee•
quence. The Governor, Sir Harry Smith, appears to be
condemned as inefficient.

With the accumulating mass of capital, invest ments
must eagerly be sought after in all quarters who revel'
the least chance exists of a moderate return; and, cer-
tainly, when we review the past in regard to el :fining
operations, we see very great encouragemea t for
a judicious and moderate application of every
man's surplus means. There is no occasio a to
go into headlong speculation, or to participate in every
scheme, got up for the main purpose of being sol d out
at a premium; but, although in this line, as in of here,
there are plenty of bubbles, some very sound underta kings
likewise exist, and if there be not too much staked i n one
enterprise, or, in plainer terms, if the money heti :nded
to be applied is distributed over a " picked there
seems no greater risk than in other concerns. Lot
year mining received a great impulse, and a stet n el'
ceeding 300,0001. wee embarked in it. Tle 's is
an unusually large amount, we are told,
but new mines have engrossed about one-I lirdt
and the outlay having been for machinery and plant
will not occur to the same extent again, and mat ly of
the mines will begin to pay dividends this year. The
amount of dividends paid is a fair test, and taking Bri-
tish mines the total would be saniewhat under 25G, 0001,
Louking down the list, we find the Devon /rest
Consols paid no less than 401. per a hare,
only 11. being paid up. Wheal Buller paid
701. upon every 51. subscribed. Wheal Basset 60t. upon
every 10/. 55., and South Frances 42/. upon asele paid
up. Some minor shares yielded a few shillings, but have
had only 1/. or 2/. eabscribed per share. The se, it
must he remembered, are all mines sit acted
in the United Kingdom. It is not deli rable
that mining undertakings should be unduly push. i for-
ward, however, because machinery, labour, and
other expenses, are fictitiously advanced, and wbe a the
reaction sets in, deception and suffering result I o ell
classes, but there is ample room for profitable wet king
in many directions without placing our En ooel
in foreign companies. California and Ausi mita
both hold out temptations, and we state
now, as we have always affirmed, that a handsome re'
turn can bo obtained if the management be honest ; and
able. The variation in prices last year was interea tins'
but not to the same amount as in 1850. L Iva
Great Consols advanced about 30/. per share, 'heal
Basset 701., and West Buller, 175/.; St. Aubyn and
Grylls from 4/. to 101., and Wheal Lovell from 11
130/. Some mines are lower, and among them A lfreu
Consols have fallen 31.; Wheal Mary Ann, 261.1 and
others more or less. In Ireland there seems to kw fair
prospects for the mines that are in operation, at id in
Wales late discoveries of importance have been maJ le.
It is stated that about thirty of the clerks employed
by the London Joint-Stock Bank, conceiving theme elves
under-paid, and not advanced as their is terits
and the work required kof them would jta stiff,
have made a joint representation of their ti WlO
and of their intention to " quit the service" if gs eater
liberality were not exercised towards them, and whi eb, it
is further said, they had been led to expect. 'W't be'
lievo an amicable arrangement has been come to.
There has been
.a heavier market for Public Semi West
and the amount of business done has been small , the
Cape news being so unfavourable. Consols have been
97 to k, but are now only 964 to 97. The great
additional outlay that the Cape war must ocei scion
us, is a serious drawback to Stocks. The New T jaree'

The final arrangements regarding the Paris and
Lyons Railway were completed on Monday, the subscription
being divided, as has already been stated, between the Pans
bankers and the English applicants. The amount appor-
tioned to the latter is one-third. The shares have already
been quoted at to 4 premium.

TuE FIRST OluNinus.—The honour of having in-
vented the omnibus is due to M. Baudry, a native of Nantes.
The first omnibus
.that ever ran made its appearance in the
streets of that city. in the year 1826 ; and in the short space
of time that has since intervened the manufacture of mat
most convenient of popular vehicles has extended to all parts
