the evils our working classes suffer under are social,
arising we presume from the peculiar relations
which exist between man and man amongst us, and
what does he propose to do ? Why, instead of
remedying those evils, to perpetuate and extend them
in all quarters of the world. We conceive Mr.
WARD'S social philosophy to be erroneous,—and
never did we read a debate which made us so
sensible of the importance of legislators obtaining
correct views of political economy. Mr. WARD'S
whole speech turned on the one-sided, and there-
fore false, theory of Mr. MA L

"ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 6.
" On the 4th instant the Pacha sent for the Consuls•
General of England, Russia, France, and Austria, to corn-
municato to them a letter he had received from Ibrahim
Pacha, in which he states that the Turkish army,
commanded by Hafiz Pacha, had taken possession of
several villages, and was only siz leagues from
Mount Tab. This violation of territory and an
attack of the Turkish cavalry on a picket of Egyp-
tian cavalry, was evidently a beginning of war, and his
Highness wished to take the advice of those Consuls as to
what he had to do, and communicate to them the instruc-
tions he was going to send to Ibrahim Pacha, which were,
that it was agreed that the General-ia-Chief, Ibrahim
Paella, was to evacuate several villages, to leave between
the Turkish army and his own an open space, and then
he was to ask for explanations front Hafiz Pacha, of
his conduct; and in case that these villages should
become occupied by the Turkish troops, to consider this
new aggression as a declaration of war, and to repuhe
them by force. A written account of this conference a: as
drawn up, and each of the Consuls sent a copy to their
respective Governments. The Nile steamer, carrying these
orders, left at three o'clock, p.m, On the same day, at about
five o'clock, an Egyptian steamer from Alexandretta,
brought despatches from Ibrahim Pacha, dated Aleppo,
29th May, according to which the Turkish troops were
only three leagues from Aintab. Hafiz Paella had distri-
buted gowns of honour to the elders of the villages, and
published proclamations, calling the Syrians to revolt,
furnishing them with arms and ammunition, and already
ten or twelve villages had revolted against the Egyptian
power. Ibrahim Pacha adds, that not being able to wait
any longer for orders from his father, and to prevent the
insurrection from spreading to Aleppo, he was marching
immediately with seven regiments of cavalry and 140 pieces
of cannon, to Telshair, where he has given orders to
Soliman Pacha to meet him with an army.
In consulting the European Cons-,.15-General as
to the line of conduct which he should pursue, the
VICEROY was fulfilling, a written pledge which lie
had previously given them, declaratory of his pacific
intentions. We subjoin a copy of this document:—
‘, Note forwarded in the evening of the 16th of May to
the Consuls-General of Russia, France, Austria, and
England.

We were amused at the impudence of Sir GEORGE
CLERK on Monday last. To expect anything like
principle from Sir GEORGE would be to evince a
thorough unacquaintance with the structure of that
gentleman's mind as well as with his political cha-
racter. He served an apprenticeship, and attained
the rank of master, in the craft and mystery of
jobbery under a system of government of which
that science formed an essential part. So expert,
indeed, did he prove himself in all the branches of
his calling, that he was at last raised to the im-
portant post of Jobber-General for Scotland. It

is needless to say what the man must be who is
qualified to hold, and who, moreover, has actually
for years held, this office. Suffice it to hint that
scrupulousness of conscience cannot be numbered
among the possessions of such a man. He must
be far above all vulgar prejudices, and must not
even shy at what would make other men's hair
stand on end. Such a one is Sir GEORGE CLERK,
and from his character it may easily be i►,ferred
how sincere he is in his fears for the cause of or-
thodoxy in Scotland from the introduction into that
country of the Government plan of education.
Like the rest of his kidney who hate the light, for
reasons of their own, he bates popular education of
all sorts and kinds, because it tends to elevate the
people in the scale of humanity, and, conse-
quently to render them less fit for being treated
like beasts of burden, the only way in which,
according to the true principles of Toryism,
the working classes ought to be treated, or
can be treated, if these classes are to he kept in
what is called their proper place. He would,
therefore, rather not see an efficient system of edu-
cation introduced into Scotland. He would infi-
nitely prefer going on with the ineffective system
of parochial instruction—for education it can
hardly be called—which exists in that part of the
kingdom. When he asserts that this so-called
national system " hasgiven the greatest satisfaction,"
and that, too, " because it is intimately connected
and interwoven with the Established Church," he
asserts that which every one acquainted with the
matter knows to be a positive untruth. The pa-
rochial schools of Scotland are not held in that high
degree of esteem by the people which it suits Sir
GEORGE'S views to make it be thought they are ;
and one reason of this is the very reason which he
assigns for the "satisfaction" which they afford,
namely, that they are interwoven with the religious
system of a sect, and, consequently, partake of all
the evils which a sectarian character cannot fail to
give to education. But in addition to this inherent
blemish in the constitution of these schools, they
are, in the great majority of instances, conducted
in a superficial manner, and on a plan by no
means suited to the wants of the people, or,
which is much the same thing, to the necessi-
ties of the times. Schools, like all other institutions
to be useful must keep pace with the improvements
of the age. The education which they are in-
tended to impart, cannot fail to re-act upon them-
selves, and if they do not adapt themselves to the
progressive demand thus made upon them, they
inevitably sink into contempt.
This, we fear, has been, to a considerable extent,
the case with the vaunted system of parochial educa-
tion in Scotland. In every locality Where sufficient
means exist—in all towns of whatever size—schools
embracing a more extensive range of education and
more suitable to the ever-varying form of society,
have been established, and are maintained, by vo-
luntary subscription. These flourish, while the
parochial schools in the same places fall into decay.
In the whole of the parish schools of Scotland
there are about 64,000 scholars, while in all the
others, of various' sorts, the number is three or
four times as great. 'Would there, then, be any
harm in infusing a little new vigour into the Scotch
parochial system of education ? 'Whether the
Clergy have done their duty, or what they claim
to be their duty, in the supervision of those schools,
we will not take upon us to say ; but certainly these
Reverend persons cannot point to their thriving
state as a proof of their faithfulness. Let it be re-
membered, too, that an annual grant of the public
money goes to the augmentation of the salaries of
schoolmasters, and the right of the Government to
look to the benefit derived from it to the people at
large, may perhaps appear, to those who can think
calmly on these matters, not quite so unreasonable
as Sir GEORGE CLERK and his friends would
wish to make it out. As to the charge which the
Jobber-General makes against the Ministers, that
they mean to establish Catholic schools in Scot-
land, we can only say that we are afraid it rests on
no better foundation than the Non. Baronet's
creative imagination. Would it were true ?

" filo Viceroy pledges himself to M. Consul-
General, &c., that in case the trocps of the Sultan, who
crossed the Euphrates mar Bir, shall retire to the other
side of the river, he will order his own army to execute a
retrograde movement, and will recall his son Ibrahim Pacha
to Damascus. Further, in the event of this pacific demon-
stration being followed by a similar retrograde movement
on the part of the army of Fl. fie Pacha beyond Nlalatia,
his Highness will enjoin the Generalissimo to return to
Egypt.

Moreover, his Highness the Viceroy adds of his own
accord, that if the four great Powers consent to guarantee
the continuation of •peace, and to interest themselves in
obtaining the hereditary reversion of the government to his
family, he will withdraw a portion of his troops from Syria,
and be ready to conclude a definitive arrangement condu-
cive to the wants of the country and calculated to guaran-
teeits security."

This includes the whole of the news from Turkey
and Egypt. We are still disposed to believe that
war between the SULTAN anti the VICEROY may
be, and will be prevented for the present. Should
the SULTAN'S illness prove mortal, important
changes may be expected. This is not unlikely, as
his distemper is said to arise from the agony of his
mind, while brooding over the dismemberment of the
empire during his reign, and the influence of a pro-
phetic dread that the glory of the Osmanlis is
dimmed for ever.

Letters from Tauris of the 20th of May an-
nounce that the Shah of PERSIA is still suffering
from his old complaint—an inveterate war fever.
He was then preparirT to establish a mil;tary camp
at Sultanieh, as a preliminary step to the re-com-
mencing the siege of Herat. The same letters re-
port that the inhabitants of Bushire on the Persian
Gulf, had risen against the English troops, and
that great numbers were killed and wounded on both
sides, before peace was restored.

It is with pain we find ourselves obliged to recur from
time to time to the jealousy of England, manifested not
only by the French press but by the French Legislature.
In the Paris journals of Tuesday, the whole of which
we have received, we find the Report of the Committee
of the Chamber of Deputies appointed to inquire into
the expediency of granting an extraordinary credit of
ten millions of francs (400,0001.) for increasing the
French fleet in the Levant. The Report, which is drawn
up with much ability, and a considerable display of his-
torical information, recommends the grant as necessary to
counteract the ambitious designs of Russia and—wonder
of wonders—Great Britain! Lord PALMERSTON may
well stare when he reads this passage in the Report, and
truly it looks ominous when it is remembered that the
fleets of England and France arc charged to co-
operate as mediators and umpires in a quarrel not their
own. After contributing to the dismemberment' of the
Turkish empire by the seizure of Algiers, Constantino,
and the extent of a no-inconsiderable kingdom in
Africa, it requires some assurance on the part of French
deputies, to propose measures for counteracting the ag-
, gressive designs of England ! The Journal des Debra:,
too, which can philosophically descant upon the benefit
which France would derive from the occupation
of Alexandria, repeats the language of the Report
with -all the•gravity of an exponent of Court oracles.
No good, but much mischief may result from such
groundless and ill-timed intimations.

There is little domestic news in the French papers.
The following paragraph from the Presse—a Ministerial
paper—of Tuesday is only of importance :
" Au infernal project has just been defeated. the admi-
nistration of the Opera was informed yesterday (Sunday)
evening, that the theatre was to be set on fire that night,
and that it had been concerted to profit by the confusion
which such a disaster would occasion to take possession of
the Hotel de Ville, at the moment when the authorities
should be occupied at the scene of the fire."

Great preparations are making at Toulon to fit out
the vessels destined for active service in the Levant.
The Corvette left the harbour on the 20th, to serve as
an advice-boat to Admiral LALANDE. She carried
despatches for the French Consul at Tunis.

The Constitution/2d states, on the authority of a
Contemporary, that M. Louts AUGUSTE BLANQUE
is at present in London.

Highly important intelligence has been received
from the East. By letters from Constantinople of
the 7th inst, we learn that the Turkish fleet, con-
sisting of thirty-five sail, of which eight are ships
of the line, and eleven frigates, with 6,000 men on
board, had received orders to sail with the first fa-
vourable wind to the coast of Syria, where the men,
with a large additional reinforcement from Galipoli,
are to be landed to co-operate with the army of
HAFIZ PACHA. The SULTAN, though seriously
ill of dyspepsia, which threatens his life in the
event of any unusual excitement, has resolved that
nothing shall deter him from attempting
the subjugation of his vassal. That nothing
might be left undone to rouse the religious
zeal of the Turks, his Highness submitted the
question to the decision of the Doctors of the Mo-
hammedan law, who, after the most careful consul-
tation of the Koran, unanimously declared the re-
duction of the VICEROY to be a sacred and obliga-
tory duty. They ground this duty upon the
usurpation of MEHEMET AL[ of sacred rights
appertaining to the holy office of Caliph and Chief
Imaum of the Faithful, and of the Government of
the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, the birth-
place and tomb of the prophet, to the interruption
of the pilgrimages of good Mussulmans. In fact
war appeared so imminent that the Ambassadors of
England and France at the Porte sent instructions
to the respective Admirals of the British and
French fleets in the Mediterranean, to interpose to
prevent hostilities between the Turkish and Egyp-
tan fleets, with a discretionary power to employ
force, if necessary.
But this is not all. By accounts from Alexan-
dria, received by the French Government on Satur-
day, but for some unexplained, and to us inexpli-
cable reason, not published till Monday night, it
appears that hostilities have actually commenced
between the armies of the SULTAN and the VICE-
ROY. The following is the official announcement

no news, I,ith the exception of an-official dispatch from
ESPARTERO, announcing his occupation of Amurrio,
Larrimbe, Sarucho, Iseria, and Respaldiza, by which he
compelled the Carlists to evacuate Balmaseda.- This is
an important movement, and if followed up may lead to
the retreat of the Carlists from Durango and Estella.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

This was an action to recover compensation for the
breach of an agreement entered into by the defendant,
who had contracted to purchase the plaintiff's business of
surgeon, &c., and to take the assignment of au appren-
tice's indentures. The latter part of the agreement de-
fendant declined to execute, and the plaintiff had thereby
been obliged to pay 301. premium to another master, and
incur other expense.
The Jury found a verdict for plaintiff—damages 531.
HILMORE V. SANDERS.

Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD stated the case to the jury.
The plaintiff was lessee of a house in Bruton-street, which
he had taken of General Hopkins, fur seven years, from
1828 to 1835. Of that lease defendart subsequently took
an assignment ; but as this assignment would not discharge
the € riginal lessee from the lessor, ecFendant agreed,
on a bond for 2,0001., to bear the plaintiff free and harmless
from all costs, damages, &c., which might, by any default
be incurred. The last half years' rent being in
arraar, an acticn was brought to recover it by Ge•
neril Hopkins, against Mr. Hilmore, who by the
advice of Mr. Sanders, raised a question on the case,
aheiher the obligation was to pay a half year's or a quar-
ter's rent only. The Court of Queen's Bench decided
against Mr. Hilmore, and defendant paid th,3 half year's
rent. But he had not paid the coats; and the present
action was to recover the amount of 461. taxed costs, and
19/ the plaintiff's own costs, which he had paid his so-
licitor.

Mr. GURNEY was for the defendant, and said he could
raise no point for the defence, except the solicitor for Mr.
Hi!more had stated that the expense would not amount to
nore than 12/. or 151. This however, was quite negatived
by that gentleman, and the Jury found for the plaintiff.

ELLIOT V. WIGGIN.
This was an action to recover damages for injury done
to the furniture of a house in Wimple-street, which had
been let by plaintiff to defendant upon a covenant to return
possession with all articles, either of fixtures or furniture,
undamaged, save by the usual wear and tear, or by fire.
The plaintiff alleged the damage to amount to a very
large sum. The defendant admitted only to the extent
of 151.

The case was of such a description, involving a hun-
dred or two minute pirticulars of the various articles in
the house, his LORDSHIP directed a reference, as each par-
ticular would be obstinately contested.
This was agreed to by the Counsel on both sides
(Messrs. ERLE and RICHARDS).

MARSHALL V. ROBSON.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD stated this, which was rather a
" queer," case. The plaintiff was a tradesman in the
City ; the defendant was the proprietor of that important
work, " Robson's Directory," and doubtless had a high
sense of the dignity attaching to intercourse with great
narnes.—(Laughter.) Both parties happened to have
been together in an omnibus, and on getting out, plaintiff
asked defendant fur an account he owed. Defendant upon
this flew into a passion, and as plaintiff followed him,
threatened to give him into custody f.ir obstructing him,
which he accordingly proceeded to do, the policeman
being very reluctant to receive the charge, and only con-
senting so to do upon defendant's agreeing to assume the
whole responsibility. Plaintiff was then taken to the sta-
tion-house, but the charge was instantly dismissed. The
action was to recover damages for this trespass. The
defendant's plea was that he did not authorise it.
Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS was for the defendant, and
submitted that it was not a case, at all events, calling for
heavy damages.

Vie Jury retired, and were in consultation when our
reporter left.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—The Cot-
ton ma, ket continues in a very depressed state. The sales
are scarcely 1,000 12..,g5, at barely yesterday's prices.
Arrivals this morning—French and Ostend mails ; ship
letters from Pernambuco, Jamaica, Newfoundland, and
south Australia.
We have received the Launceston Paper of March 7.
( From the above Parer.)

. . .
We gave among our Sydney extracts last week a report
of alit fell from Sir George Gipps at his late opening
of an Extraordinary Session of the Legislative Council,
in reference to the further imposition upon the colony of
expenses in the convict establishment, hitherto defrayed by
the Mother Country. From that report one thing is very
cl;:ar—the Home Government arc resolved to make the
Austr .lian Colonies feel the supremacy of the Mother
Country. The representations of the Legislature and of
their Governors are treated with contemptuous disregard,
and it will now of course become a question with the colo-
nists, whether the transportation system,as its expenses are
now to be defrayed, will be such as they will find it to
their interest any longer to encourage. We look forward
with some anxiety to the proceedings of the Sydney
Council.
The late arrivals have brought a very considerable ac-
cession of capital to the colony, and the settlers being
most of them men of energy and skill, we trust they will
soon experience the advantages of the climate and pastures
of South Australia.—South Australian News.
Up to the present hour the information received from
the East, that hostilities had taken place between the
Turks and Egyptians has not had any effect on the Bri-
tish funds; indeed, the various information received on
the subject is still of a citradictory description; a skir-
mish may have taken place, but we still expect that the
interference of the European powers will prevent anything
of a decisive nature, which would cause tho peace of
Europe to be disturbed.
Consols opened this morning at the leaving off prices
of yesterday, 93,11 for the opening, with little doing asyet.
The papers received by the overland express do not
bring much news of importance from our armies in India;

The Dutch Mail has arrived with papers of the 26th
inst, bringing the Amsterdam prices of the 25th. Two-
and-a Half per Cents 541; Five per Cents, 101.
The above papers do not contain any political news of
importance. Money can be obtained in the British Mar-
ket at a very easy rate on good securities from day to
day, but for any lengthened time, such as a month or
three weeks, a high premium is demanded. A report
prevails that the Bank Directors are going to add another
per cent. on their discounts, making it 6 per cent. ;
they will be justified in this measure to counteract the late
document issued by the United States' Bank to assist in
the monopoly of cotton.

THE CHARTISTS IN THE METROPOLIS.--
A meeting of the Chartists was held on Monday evening
on Stepney-green. They were addressed by Messrs.
Hartwell, Moore, Spencer, and a Polish colonel, who
stated he had lost the grant allowed to him by the Govern-
ment, in consequence of his advocating Chartist principles.
A resolution was unanimously passed to apply to Lord
John Russell to grant them ten thousand stand of arms for
the protection of life and property in the Tower hamlets.
NATIONAL GALLERY.—The number of per-
sons who viiited this Institution was, in 1836, 125,747, in
1837, 113,937, and in 1838, 397,649. The number of
students in 1538 was in oil colours 40, in water colours,
chalk, &c., 60.—Parliamentary Papers.—By the same
return we see that the number of persons visiting the
Tower has increased from 30,005, when the price was 2s.
to 40,701 since the price was reduced to Is. The sum
received in ten months, under the old system, was 9501.

CHURCH EXTENSION.—A respectable but not
numerour meeting was held yesterday in the Freemasons'
Hall, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament in favour
of adoptinc, immediate measures for Church extension.
Lord Sandon' took the chair, supported by Lord Ashley,
Lord Ingestric, Mr. Plumptre, Mr. Hardy, the Rev. Hugh
Al• Neill, and a numerous body of the clergy, who had it
all their own way.
