6 6 aupublic estimate of Dr. Watts, in his character of a Poet,
rests chiefly on his Hymns. The reader needs only, however, to
peruse these LYRICS, to perceive that he has claims to a higher
place among English Poets, than would be justly due to him merely
as the author of those favourite but often feeble compositions. In
a period like ours, there would appear to be no sufficient reason,
' why the superior intellectual value of the present collection should
prevent its rivalling the Hymns in extent of popularity—a circum-
stance to be desired by all who seek the advancement of virtue and
piety."—Preface.

Fontenelle assigns the right reason why an action
which would amuse and instruct us if it passed in reality,
might fail to please, nay, even disgust us, if it were exhibited
in representation ; viz., that we regard the latter as a work
of art, and look for those beauties which art, invention, and
management are capable of introducing.

(In the Corporation School.) -
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—TLC subject of
.Education in
the Corporation Schools of Liverpool, for a considerable
time has occupied a great deal of the attention of the
Members of the Town Council elected under the Mu-
nicipal Act, and the Irish system, which was introduced
into the Corporation school,has been found most efficient. At
the sitting of the Council yesterday it became necessary
to re-appoint the various Committees, and that of Educa-
tion stood first. Mr. Blackburn, who has just been re-
elected to a member of the Town Council by the largest
majority of any of the wards, moved the appointment of
the Education Committee in a most brilliant speech. The
United Kingdom is so much interested in education that it
is desirable that the proceedings at Liverpool should be
diffused throughout the whole empire, especially as she
is certainly taking the lead upon the great and important
subject of national education.
Mr. BLACKBURN having risen to move the appointment
of the Education Committee,
Mr. J. SMITH asked if that was the proper time to pre-
sent a memorial on the subject.
The MaYon thought it had better be deferred for the
present.
Mr. C. LAWRENCE said he had an unpleasant daty to
perform in rising to object to the appointment of an Educa-
tion Committee. He did so with great reluctance.
Mr. BL-acauns—Would not Mr. Lawrence find it
more convenient to move an amendment on nay motion 2
( Hear, hear.)
Mr. C. LAWRENCE—I am moving it as an amendment.
—(Laughter.) lam not going to object to the appoint-
ment of a Committee, but its oject and duties.
The MAYOR thought that Mr. Lawrence had better wait
until Mr. Blackburn had moved the appointment of a Com-
mittee.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
Mr. BLACKBURN said that, in rising to make the propo-
sal that a Committee should be appointed, under the deno-
mination of an Education Committee, to take charge of the
schools at the north and south ends of the town, which had
been erected by the Council from the funds of the Corpo-
rate estate and been maintained, very much to the honour
of the Council, and greatly to the advantage of the public, it
was his anxious wish to avoid saying any thing that could
lead to debate. The investigations which had recently been
instituted by various parties into the state of the Corpora-
tion schools, and the inquiries which had been made as to
the system of education pursued there had, he trusted, had
the effect, to a very considerable degree, of satisfying the
public mind with respect to those institutions, and of re-
moving those errors and misconceptions concerning them
which had so extensively prevailed. The opponents of that
system of education had thought proper, deliberately and if
their own accord, to make the school question a test at the
late municipal election.—(Hear.) The individuals who
had come before the public on that occasion had come
forward decidedly and avowedly as the friends of that
system or as its opponents ; and look to the result ! The
public had not thought proper to return more than four
of the opponents of that system. An enlightened and a
discerning public had proclaimed their opinion on the
subject in a manner which could not be misunderstood.
—(Hear, hear.) Had he no other fact to allude to, as
evidence of the state of public opinion, than that he was
now addressing the Chairman as chief magistrate of the bo-
rough, and 'as the representative of Pitt-street Ward, -he
thought that fact would be quite sufficient--(Hear, hear.)
He was quite aware that there were many gentlemen in
that Council—perhaps not many—for whose judgment he
lad.a high respect, who thought that:the Council ought not
to interfere at all in the matter of education. Now, had
the individuals on whom, in the first instance, the care of
schools devolved, been influenced by a mere regard for their
own comfort and quiet, and by a low and ignoble desire to
retain their own ascendancy in the Council, they would,
with those views, have done well and wisely to refrain from
any meddling with a subject on which there was sure to be
ae much difference of opinion, but he thought that the
Counc.j. did well in not pursuing that course. They were
not unaware Of the difficulties which must beset their path ;
but it was to their honour—it would be recorded to their
honour, that they ventured to grapple with those difficul-
and ascertain
culties—to look them manfully in the face,
lish schools, open to
whether it was possible or not to estal'
all classes of the public, without any con promise of the
principles held by any denomination of Christi whatso-
ever. He was quite willing to concede the princip:ft that, •
unless those schools could be conducted on a system whic.h
would throw them open to individuals of every variety of
religious opinions amongst them, they ought not to be con-
ducted at all ; for the Council were trustees of the public
property, and therefore bound to expend that property in
such a way as to be for the equal benefit, of all classes of
the community.—(Hear, hear.) He was prepared to hinge
the whole question on this point—whether the schools were
conducted on a system in which all classes of the commu-
nisy might safely and honourably coincide. If this could
not be proved, he was willing to give them up at once, for
he could not advocate their continuance on any other prin-
ciple.--(1-lear, hear.) The question then came to this—
were they so conducted—were they based on such a princi-
schools to all classes of ac‘ community ? It was his decided
ple as satisfied nil parties, and did, in effect, throw open the
opinion, after a close and caret examination, that such was
that the schools were
thefo founded

of Christians—and he could not but rejoice tliut it had
fallen to the lot of the Council of Liverpool in the first in-
stance to introduce a system which, if acted upon by Go-
i
vernment, and carried into effect throughout England,
Scotland, and Ireland, would confer an immense benefit on
the whole community, without the slightest interference
with the religious principles of any denomination of Chris-
tiani whatever.—( Hear, hear.) The community might be
considered as divided into three great sections—the mem-
bers of the Church of England, he Protestant Dissenters,
and the Roman Catholics. He thought that there three di-
visions included, in so far as education was concerned, the
whole of the community, and that a system which was cal-
culated to meet the wants and wishes of these three parties
might, with propriety, be denominated a national system
of education.—( Hear.) That system which was erroneously
denominated national, was so decidedly sectarian, that it
opened its doors to only one of the three classes, and ex-
cluded all Dissenters and all Roman Catholics—and with
regard to the mar e tolerant system of the British and Fo-
reign School Society, the regulation that the Scriptures'in
the authorized version should be read by all tile pupils, ‘ir-
• Wally excluded the Roman Catholics. Neither system
met the exigencies of the case, and it was therefore ofgreat
importance that sonic other system should be adopted which
would through the schools open to all classes of the com-
munity. Now, he contended that this system did meet all
the exigencies of the case, and that, as established in Liver-
pool, it furnished all that could be wanted or wished for in
in relation to this subject. Let them suppose that a con-
scientious Churchman wished to place his children in the
schools. Of course lie would wish that his children should
be educated in religious principles in-accordance with his
own views, that they should be allowed to read tle
authorized version of the Scriptures, to learn the Church
Catechism,
worship of the Established Church. Now, he (Mr.

•
Blackburn) was prepared to say, that at these schools all I
this would he done. The children would read the autbc-
rized version, th©y would have it explained by teachers and
clergymen of their own persuasion, they would read the
Church Catechism and the Church Collects, on the Sabbath
day they would be conducted to Church: and he demanded
what could any reasonable man ask more than this ?
(Hear, hear.) He would ask, what more was done for child-
ren belonging to the Established Church in schools especially
devoted to their education ?--(Hear, hear.) He was not
aware that even in those schools anything more was done,
and he would venture to say that it was not done better
in those schools than it was done in the schools of the Cor-
poration.—(Load cries of Hear, hear.) There was no dif-
ference as to the quality and degree of religious instruction
afforded in 'these schools, and that which they would receive
in the national schools, except, •perhaps, this—that in the
national schools, which were exclusive, the possib:lity was
(whether intended or not) that the children would imbibe
exclusive and sectarian principles and feelings ; whereas, in
the Corporation schools they would ha taught, both by pre-
cept and example, this beautiful maxim,—" Inasmuch as
in you lieth live peaceably with all men.l—(Hear, hear, and
loud applause.) As to the Protestant Dissenter, what did
he require which the Council were not prepared to ufford
him ? Far from having any objection to the authorised ver-
sion of the Scripture, he required his child to read that
version as a book from which he was to learn religion,
not merely to learn, to read. Every child whose parents
wished hint to read it, had the opportunity of doing so,
but the Protestant Dissenter objected to his child being
compelled to read the Church Catechism, and to go to
Church on Sundays. At these schools the child would
