readily perceived by the following example and table.
Suppose 4 person aged 20 commence by depositing 10/Y with this
Company, and continue to do so evdry year till he arrives at 50, he
will havepaid to the Company 3001., fcr which he will hold a policy
for 695/.125. 4d , payable to his representatives in case of death.
Should he, however, survive 50, and become unable to pay,* or not
be desirous of continuing his payments, he can either retain his
policy, and still remain assured for 6.5/. 125. 4d., or he may cancel
his policy, and receive in caph 3821. 17s. Od., being 62/. 17s. Od. more

4 LL MOPP'
S PALE ALE AND 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-
tribution of a calumny with other insidious attacks upon their
firm which they have reason to know proceed from an unworthy
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.

DR. GLOVER TO MR. ALLSOPP.
" Newcastle-on-Tyne, April U.

" Sir,—lt was not my intention, in writing the hasty note to
The Lancet,' to cast any reflections upon, or to implicate in any
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 tha symptoms it would
create ; but on experiment. I found that strychnine possesses such
wonderful bitterness, tha• it might perhaps be used as AN ADJUVANT
at least be 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 being 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, so
far as analysing and chemistry are concerned, with two kinds of iu-
quiries—lst, those which are purely scientifle ; and 2d, those which
are profitable. Ifyou wish me, in the latter capacity, to analyse
and report on your beer, I, or 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. Bottingen,
for which I am much obliged.

" Tours, &c.,
" R. M. GLOVER.

(Signed)

" H Allsopp, Esq.
" 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 weakeu
the confidence of the public in your beer. But that I am not now
in the habit of drinking Bitter Beer, I should be Zed to show my
confidenee by 4rinkl!ig pleritY of ite '
Messrs. ALLSOPP mid SONS beg hit 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 med•cal gentleman, for
one. lam not responsible that such a construction has been placed
upon the off-hand expressions of good opinion which have heels sent
to me from all quarters."
Mes,rs. 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.
Burton-on-Trent, Oct. 8, 1852.

THE NAVY GOOD SERVICE PENSIONS.

The captains' good service pensions, relinquished on
the promotion of Rear Admirals Waloot and Plumridge,
have been conferred on two of the senior officers on the
captains' list-namely, Captain Percy Glace (1852), and
Captain Char es Howe Fremantle (1826).
Captain Percy Grace is the 14th senior on the list,
end is the only officer who has been for years seeking
employment who has not obtained either appointment,
pension, or distinction. That gallant and distinguished
officer Captain Ryder Burton, it is true, is senior
to Captain Grace, but his severe wounds has obliged
him to refrain from seeking active service.
Captain Grace has served afloat 16 years. He is
third son of the late Richard Grace, Esq., M.P., of
Belay, Queen's County (the representive ot a family of
considerable antiquity, seated in Ireland since the days
of Strongbew), by Jane, daughter of the Hon. John
Evans, of Bulgaden Hall, grandfather of John Evans
Freke, sixth and present Lord Carbery. He is younger
brother of Sir William Grace, Bart., of Grace Castle,
county Kilkenny ; and also of Sheffield Grace, Esq.,
D.C.L., F.S.A., K.H., of Knole House, county Sussex,
a gentlemen well known in the literary and antiquarian
world for his pro ound and accomplished writings.
This officer entered tile navy Match 7, 1801, as first-
class volunteer on board the Ganges, 74, Captains
Thomas Francis Fremantle and George M'Kinley,
under the former of whom he fought, on the 2d of the
following April, at the battle of Copenhagen. On the
Home, West India, American, and Irish stations, Mr.
Grace was appointed to the Greyhound, 32, Captain
Charles Elphinstone and Edward Thomas Troubridge,
in which frigate he cruised for some time off Cherbur
and then sailed for the East Indies. On his return'
to the Greyhound Mr. Grace assisted at the des-
truction of a Dutch armed brig under the Fort
of Manado, and also at the capture of a simi-
lar vessel off the island of Tidore ; and on
the 28th of the same month, he proved himself an officer
deserving of promotion by his conduct in a smart action
with a Dutch squadron, which terminated in the surren-
der, to the Greyhound and Harrier sloop of the Pallas
frigate, and two armed and richly laden Indiamen. The
Greyhound, of which he had been nominated a master's
mate in November, 1806, and an acting lieutenant in
June 1807, being wrecked in October, 1808, off the coast
of Luconia, Mr. Grace and his companions had to per-
form a fatiguing march of 12 days over mountains and
through rivers and wools, hitherto unpassed by Euro-
pean, in a state of utter destitution. They then became
captives of the Spanish at Manilla, where they were de-
tained for a period of three months; but it was not until
after a further and most cruel imprisonment of eight
months at Batavia, whither they were taken by two
French frigates, with whom they had unluckily fallen in
while on their passage, en parole, from Manilla to Prince
of Wales' Island, that they were fully restored to liberty.
Being then, in September, 1809, allowed to depart in
the Piedmontaise frigate, Captain Charles Foote, Mr.
Gracie, whose promotion had been confirmed by the Ad-
miralty on the 28th of the preceding February, was
shortly afterwards, on the 30th of the same month,
plated in command of the boats. of that ship, and sent to
reconnoitre a flotilla of 20 Malay pirates, two of whom
he succeeded in capturing, alth.e ugh net without a loss of
2 men killed, and 20,including laimself severely, wounded.
The effects of the injury he received he still feels, but no
compensation has till now been granted to him. On the
16th March, 1811, he joined the Semiramis, 36, Captain
Churl, a Richardson, in command of ono of the boats of
which frigate he contributed to the capture of five French
vessels anchored four miles tic the Gironde. On the
morning of the 25th August he similarly assisted in
taking Le Pluvier corvette, ,of 16 guns and 136 men,
under the bat erica of Raven, and on that occasion his
handsome conduct obtained him the official thanks of
his captain. Mr. Grace, on the 12th August, 1812, was
appointed to the San Demingp, 74, bearing the flag on
the coast of North America of Sir John Borlase
Warren, under whom he evitnessed the attack upon
Crony bland, &e, and nerved until promoted to
the renk ot commander, on the 15 Juno, 1814. His last
appointment was, on the 17th January, 1822, to the
Cyrene, 20, fitting for the African station, where he
cruised, between the river Gambia and the Bights of
Benin and Bianfra, until Dec. 14, 1823, at which period
he sailed for England, where he arrived Feb. 7, 1824,
after having encountered a hurricane so violent that it
bed been found necessary to throw 11 of the ship's guns
overboard. He afterwards served in the Cyrene in the
Mediterranean. In November, 1824, Captain Grace
became senior officer in the Levant. He attained post
rank Feb. 1, 1825, and on the 20th August in the same
year was paid off. Captain Grace and those who had
been wrecked with him in the Greyhound were taken
from Manilla, to Batavia by the French frigates Can-
noniere and Laurel. When commanding the Cyrene he
was the first who commenced the destruction of berm--
coons or slave factories on the coast of Africa. Among
the vessels which were captured and detained by the
Cyrene and her boats, were the Aurora, Dutch schooner,
of 144 tons, 4 guns, and '26 men; L'Hypolite, schooner
(under French colours), of 95 tons, 2 guns. and 19 men ;
and the Caroline, French schooner, of 78 tons, 2 guns,
and 20 men.
Captain Charles Howe Fremantle is the son of the
celebrated admiral who commanded the Inconstant in
Hotham's action, the Seaborse at Teneriffe, and the
Ganges and Neptune at Copenhagen and Trafalgar, and
died a vice admiral when commander-in-chief in the
Medi' erranean. He is also brother of Sir Thomas Fre-
mantle, Bart., Chairman of the Customs. He was born
in 1800, entered the navy in 1812, and has served afloat
about 22 years. He was a midshipman on board the
Ramillies, 74, Captains Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy
and Sir Charles Ogle; under the first of whom ho served
at the blockade of New London, • assisted in occupying
the islands in Passamaquoddy Bay, witnessed the born-
berdment of Stonington, and joined in the attack on
New Orleans; was confirmed a lieutenant November
11, 1819, and continued, we believe, te serve, lat-
terly as signal officer to Sir Graham Moore, until
advanced to the rank of commander, April 23,
1822. He was afterwards employed in the coast-guard
service at Lymington, but resigned that appointment on
being invested with the coramand, June 24, 1824, of the
Jasper, 10, in which sloop he visited Mexico. Acquiring
his present rank August 4, 1826, Captain Fremantle was

he was appointed to the Albion, 90, and paid off that
ship about three years since.

The vacant appointment of naval A.D.C. to the-Queen,

SHEFFIELD SCHOOL OF DESIGN.

The annual annual meeting of the friends of thisjnstintion
and the distribution of prizes to the pupils took plee on
Tuesday last at the Music-hall, under the presidetcy of
his Grace the Duke of Newcastle. Thu large hal was
well filled by a respectable assemblage of lathe's an, gen-
tlemen, including many of the nobility, elergh an, gen-
try in the immediate vicinity.
At a quarter-past 1 o'clock Mr. Wighimih the
honorary secretary, commenced the prose dinis by
reading the report, which stated that—
" Since the last annual report of the council a coaplete
and important change has taken place in the manaePalent
of at:noels of design. The provincial schools have hiherto
been under the control and direction of the masts and
other officers of the London school, an arraegemot for
many reasons unsatisfactory. Under the sysSaa at
present adopted, all the schools of design in the ciiintran
that of London included, are placed under a eenral au•
thority established at Marlborough-house, entitles 'The
Department of Practical Art,' and forming aecunponent
pert of the Board of Trade. The two gontlemer placed
at the head of this department have recently laid en
official visit to Sheffield, and expressed thernseves in
every respect satisfied with the management and eliciting
of the school, and assured the council not only of the
continuance of the present grant, but of further assiltance,
on condition, however, that some steps should weedily
be taken by the town to erect a building suitablefor the
efficient carrying out of the extended system of art-edu-
cation contemplated by Government. Thataysiem em-
braces the universal diffusion of a knowlacigt of art
throughout the entire population. The mode ,n which
this system is proposed to be carried out is by the estab-
lishment, under the auspices of the Bstird *Trade, of
elementary drawing schools throughout „kingdom,
each series of schools having for its cot* ehool of
'design. -I'laaed as svenve in-thereisielklaefi
,

„"`k-
creasing population, we may expect shortlylselliliterne:
eons schools springing up. Is 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 positing it has oc-
cupied for some years. • The debt has increased materi-
ally; the attendance of pupils continues steady; the
studies are carried on in the s I me manner as heretofore,
and will be rendered mote complete, by the addition of a
Blass foe colour, which it is intended to establish forth-
with. Hitherto, such a class has been consitered unne-
cessary, and so long as the school was merely viewed as
an adjunct to manufactures, where form does, 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-
tisticel progress of the school the public have abundant
rinswtiittahii which
acth examination
they regard

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

R.A., gentleman whose high position in art entitles their
decision to be regarded with the utmost attention and
respect. But, in the opinion of the Council, the ix,„,,
effi-
ciency of the
school is to be found in the recently pub-

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 in Sheffield, and
i expressive
of the high sense they entertain of the services it has
rendered to ornamental art, and in particular to the ma-
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 that!' did somewhat hesitate
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 much on\ account ef
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 nehbourhood
that on this occasion, tit 7 inituudtately folhiwidg-that Urea
Exhibition which I hope will give a fresh impetus, not
only to schools of design, but to art and sct'ence gene-
nerally, you might have had occupying this ichair one of
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 throughout Europe,
neverthelesss I was not competent to instruct others ;
and I could have wished that you might have heard from
this chair such lessons as might have been impressed
upon your memories, and such as might have 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 maa professing claims to
etatemanship—that no ono occupying the toosition of a
legislator of this country, whether elective or heredi-
tarp, could not but feel the liveliest interests in those
arts and sciences which they are intended to develop°.
(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 are all agreed upon, namely, to enable
that industry to compute honourably and fairly in the
great race of rivalry which is now set before you.
(Hear, Hear.) lam convinced that the application of
art in this country, in every department of trade, has
now become a matter of vital necessity, and that if
you mean to carry successfully to the ends of the
I 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
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 congratulations;on 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-
fested in the school at Sheffield. We 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
speakany 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
to ywohuatthmaetyl.fdeoirniy be expected in so great
think that they come
in
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 educate the risinglNew-
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 the 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 oat 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 you the financial
accounts. You have received 600/. a-year from the Go-
vernment, and the whole contribution which this town
has made is 2001. Now, when I tell you that the
whole of the Government grant is expended in 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 sum of 200/., I think you will say that you are
not giving a fair trial to the experiment of these
schools, and are thwarting and crippling the efficiency
which may be expected from them. I say, then, first of
all, you want a better room and a better library. You
ought to have a fund out of which to devote 501. a-year
to the increase of the library and for the purchase of
works of art, accessible to all the students, which form
an important element in their study ; and you want also,
—and this I would impress not merely upon those who
take an interest in the school, but 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, les),
b- founded, I have no doubt, by private individuels in
the first instancy. When I talk of building a school in
the town of Sheffield, do consider how small the sacrifice

that out of some 40 or 50 great
s

firms in this town—l am not now alluding to minor
establishments and to individuals who would contri-
ute—that out of 40 or 50 first-class establishments
there are many which could contribute 1001., which
would be a mere drop in the ocean of that enormous
capital which is turned over every year in this great
place, but which wculd enable you to carry on this
school in a manner sufficient and creditable to you all.
I hope that any prejudices that may have existed among
some of your manufacturers have been removed. I
rejoice to know that on the last occasion of the meeting
of this selhool one of those that confessed himself,
on that platform,
,as having been heretofore luke-
warm to the interests of the ee.hoel, has since taken
a lively interest in it, end, having been successful in the
Exhibition in London, has acknowledged that to the stu-
dents of this school he is indebted for the success he has
attained. Those words ought to snake a great impression
on thee, who may be now, as he once was, lukewarm.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to look on this es a plain
scatter 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 Bed continuance of your trade, you
must adopt those means by which you will be enabled to
secure yourselves from the success of other countries,
end even other towns in this country. And you must
bear in mind, that, if you lag behind, they will speedily
pass ycu. Look across the water. It is not long since,
in this town, there were great apprehensions that your
trade was about to bo transplanted to America. Not your
trade, but the produce of your trade does, indeed, flow
into America. (Hear, hear.) The noble Duke then
alluded to the increasing appreciation for artistic excel-
lence in America. If (ha 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.
(dear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, you may applaud when
you. leder it, read that the -sum of 6001. yearly has
been contributed by the Government to this school. Do
tett`Orfalyetoiretaihda onethinw Depend- uponeit, ,here-:is'
feeling in the Legislature of this country. and throughout
:he country itself, that these contributions ought not
to be extended towards these institutions generally.
But while congratulating you upon this addition to the
orizes, I cunoot forbear expressing some regret that
lhose scholarships which were lately introduced have
been in some degree unsuccessful—not, I believe, from
any inherent fault in 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 flee arts ; what is to become
of thorn hereafter ? Gentlemen, we propose here to
mstruct in art, but we do not profess to make artists.
But the objection has sometting in it ; and I believe
the establishment of scholarship 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 Pvenitig, earassed and worn out in their
physical connition, and with their minds but little in
that state which enables them to appreciate the beautiful
or to embrace the lessons there given them ; and so it

of high art and artistic excellence in the various fabrics
of the country, your English Rafaelle or your Csllini,
you will beat the same time training up a race of men,
who will be enabled to make hereafter the fabrics of this
country ae 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
et -aeons, nevrea. 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 ; bat I think that all our ex-
perience 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

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 had been followed 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-
facturers to understand, to appreciate, and to employ
the clever, able, anti 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. There are 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 Loth e
some means of education in art which shall give t
full appreciation of what is beautiful--some means
of art-education which should accbmplish the ob-
ject in those schools ay, and in -the universi-
ties themselves—which we are attempting to give
the artisans in the schools in the support of
of which we are this day assembled. I have beard an
objection raised to this. Do not believe that lam
for, raatsl--
though you may be astonished at the objection, _ yet
I

assure you I have gravely heard it objected to the ex-
tending of art education, that wherever youperceive t e
arts greatly extended, studied, and appreciated y all
classes, there you will, in that very fact, invariably therh ;
per-
ceive the signs of the decline and fall of empires. Now,
I utterly disbelieve this statement. I believe that any-
thing more fallacious never was produced. It arises
from a little inaccuracy in chronology—a superficial and
insufficient reading of history. I say that, on the
contrary, you will find that empires have thriven and
have stood upon their greatest eminences when the arts
have been the highest—when all have appreciated them.
You will find that the arts have declined, and a vicious'
taste and style of meretricious ornament and faulty
construction have been introduced, in all instances, in
the gradual decay and demoralizations of kingdoms.
(Cheers.) I need not carry you back to the early As-
syrian and Egyptian empires; but if you study the re-
cords of those kingdoms you will find the facts I state
to be true ; and if you visit the remains of those king-
doms you will see with your own eyes the truth of the
assertion, and that everything that is vicious and bad
was erected in those times when the Governments were
fading, arel their kingdoms vanishing from the face of
the cart's. The same will anely with regard to Athens

nificent buildinge which even now astonish tre
eyes and excite the envy and admiration of those who
cannot imitate them—will any 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 eg-
grandizement led to the dowef ill of Athens. And I
behave but for the n'tection 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 au inaividual is of any value, let Me compere
tho 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 s.f
Spurts, whose town at this moment can scarcely be die-
corned—in fact, there ere 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 artesducation for all classes. It would
be most valuable as ertahling you, the manufacturers, and
the workmen, to exercise such knowledge as y Ott may,
p assess, 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 new
injuring the trade of this and many other towns. (Hear,
hear.) It is this vicious taste for novelty which lPads
manufacturers always to b© runri g of sr sure hng
new—which mattes them, instead of cooking for what
is beautiful and good, only seek that which is novel,
and, discarding that which is really of good Lino
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 sterling, except the morbid
brain of such men, ever intended such article to be ap-
plied. I had intended, had time permitted, to read one
or two passages from a book. Let me commend it to
your attention. It is the report of Mr. Redgrave, to
whom not only schools of design, but art in general, is
deeply indebted. While I depiecato novelty and a ser-
vile following of fashion, forgive me if I also deprecate
what'mhy justly be called the robbery of French aed
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 bruin, 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 emplo:,
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 lam no flatterer. I hope that what
I have said are truths; Waif they are Vie hs, I am afraid
they are somewhat unpalatable. But I have not ye;
done. I rejoice in the great success of the iron and steel
trade of this town, but regret the same cannot be said se
the silver trade. It is iu this branch of the trade the
the services of the school of design have been under-
valued and repudiated, and I firmly believe, looking to
the admirable qualifications of precis:a, metals for works
of art—looking to the fact, which I think all must feet,
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 ;—wnen we look to what use been done
in the works in precious metals in all former ages, that
they have a thousand beaudes, we must feel it is a dis-
grace to this town and to the country that they should
not bring the art in this respect to a higher pitch of ex-
cellence than they have. I feel that I have occupied
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 ball 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 hall, but let 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 excellence—that when you next meet,
its funds may be in 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. Ido 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 13
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 fine arts, have been
among not only the best fathers, the best brothers, and
the best sons 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. Baesesoes, seconded by Mr. RIDGE.
Mr. YOUNG Mumma., head master of the school, in
returning thanks, remarked upon the establishment of a
School of Practical Art at Marlborough House, and ob-

men, would not allow themselves to be judged by any

The noble Chairman then called up Mr. W. a
TIIIRTON, who had obtained the prize of ten guineas fur
a design for on article of Sheffield manufacture. Ir.
handing him the purse of sovereigns, the noble duke
shook the young man cordially by the hand.
The Montgomery Prize was awarded to Mr. C. GREEN.
and, at the request of the noble duke, the venerable poes
presented it himself. Iu handing it to the successful
candidate Mr. Montgomery said, "Let me give you a
word of advice. Always do your best, and you will d
better every time, and that is the way to succeed."
The various prizes were then awarded by the chair-
man, and the meeting separated.

This is true enoneh as far as it goes, but very false
if put forward as an a.e:vount of the whole matt sr,
Let us endeavour to auppfy the omission.
On the 17th of January, 1848, the government of
Louis Philippe was questioned by the Marquis de
Buissy, in the Chamber of Peers, during the debate
on the address, as to' its inteneion of ra'ilying the
treat) entered into with Ahd el-K eler. M. Guizot,
in his reply, instead of declaring frankly and clearly
that most undoubtedly the Government would ratify
-ne treaty to whieh the Duke ci'Auinale h elven
cis approbation, decleeed that the GoverntLenc, was
of opinion that it did not he'ong to a General-in-Chief,
even were he one of the king's sons, to engage poli-
'ically, witbout reservation or exa:ninetion, the king's
,overnment, and that "in the present question the
government preserved and intended to preserve
the full liberty of examination and &el-ion." If
these words meant anythi;ng, they implied the possi..
bility of the non ratification of the treaty. The
Prince de la Moscowa, in the same sitting, disappro v.
ing of the language thus used by the bon. Minieter
of Foreign Affairs, brougVit forward this dilemma :
—"Now, of two things, cve: 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 ; in 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
nis 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
gotiatioo. 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 tlee honour of
France, adieu to victory !" M. Guizot then
declared that " the Government had every
confidence that it was possible for it to coin-,
Bate 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 engagements
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 Lamoriciere and the Duke. d'Aumale,
Governor-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
chat the Duke had promised And•el-Kader tin it he
should be taken to Alexandria or to St. Jean d'Acre ;
such were the terms of the promise—nothing more,
nothing leas."
The report of the sitting states that these senti-
ments were received by the chamber with murmurs.
A. Guizot continued—St. Jean d'Acre was out of
he question, but, as Alexandria, belonged to Egypt,
the wovernment would eater into arrangements with
the Egyptian Government to allow the Emir to be sent
there. The discussion there dropped. Now, who
does not see that if Louis Philippe's government had
at first frankly ratified the treaty entered into, Abd-
el-Rader would not have been detained for nearly
five years in confinement? The whole fault, the
world has always thought, lay with the hesitatio_n
the
f
the government in ratifying the engagement of
Duke d'Aumale. This correction is due to history,
which will decide bow to apportion the disgrace of
