moment quench the efforts of those who are willing, as far
as in them lies, to promote the benefits of education among
those around them ; and I believe, myself, that while $
compulsory system provides an asylum for the poor, yet at
the same time no injury is done to our noble and magnifi.
cent hospitals and infirmaries, and other public institutions
which are quite supported upon the voluntary system. I
believe that if compulsory instruction be provided by rates
for the poor, in all necessary education, there would be
amply safficient liberality on the part of those who are the
advocates of the voluntary system to provide the means of
gaining for themselves instruction in the higher depart.
merits for those who are qualified and competent, and
willing to receive the same. I say, let us do something.
To the advocate of secular education I would say I am per-
fectly willing his system should be tried, if ho can prove
to me that that system, when carried out in all its full
extent and length and breadth, will secure an education
on that higher point, without which all instruction is not
education—the knowledge of the relations in which man
stands to his brother and to his Creator. If he can prove
to me that secular instruction will enable the ministers of
religion, the clergy of whatever denomination, duly an 1
sufficiently to instruct all those committed to their charg
then I for one sin willing to try secular instruction. But I
will go one step further, and say that if I find a system, which
I believe is likely to be brought forward in a few days in
one large community connected with this diocese, which
secures to every person his right of conscience, to every
denomination the full integrity of the right of teaching the
tenets of their own persuasion to all who are willing to
receive the same,—which allows those who are disposed to
secularise our schools to secularise them, if they will, upon
their own responsibility, —which leaves to every dissenting
minister the power of teaching his tenets to all who are
willing to receive them,—which secures to the ministers at
the church of which I am myself one of the officers the
full power of inculcating the doctrines of that church in
all their extent,—then I would call upon you as men, as
brethren, as citizens, as Christians, to lend your aid and
assistance in its support. (Applause.) It is my duty on the
present occasion to advocate the usefulness and advantage
of public institutions like that in which we are assembled.
I will not insult you by dwelling on such a subject as this
before an audience like that I see before me ; but one thin;
I will say to you, one thing in deep, and earnest, .ara
anxious solicitude and interest,—it is the pain and sorrow.
with which, as I cast my eyes around, I see so small a por.
tion, as far as I can judge, of the working classes of Bury
present. And I say it because I am, unhappily, I fear, too

those town,
their absence meaning, I believe, most excellently
well, yet misled and deluded by not having had an
opportunity of adequately reasoning on their own
position, and not having an adequate opportunity of un-
derstanding what are their real interests. (Hear, hear.)
The interest of the master and of the labourer, and the in.
terest of the employer and the employed, can never be
really dissevered. There may arise fluctuations in trade;
there may arise angry feelings for a short time ; but any.
thing which tends to put the working men and their etas.
ters at issue with each other can only be the result of
something not altogether creditable to botk. (Applause.)
It cannot be creditable to the working man, because he
has not, perhaps, through want of training and instruc-
tion, been able to understand the obligations imposed
upon him, and the privileges he enjoys -the privilege of
turning, under God, the primeval curse of labour into a,
blessing. It cannot be creditable altogether to the em-
ployer, because, however much he may have done, he has
not provided these means of instruction which might have
made the labourer sensible of his real interests. (Ap.
plause.) I have touched on this painful subject with ro.
Inctance, but Ido so fearlessly. I speak now in that
spirit, I trust, of truthfulness which has ever actuated
me heretofore, and which, to the last moment while I ro.
main with you, will actuate me. Go on with the noble
task, and, in the honourable path which you have entered
upon, seek, as far as in you lies, the real benefit of those
with whom you live, and, depend upon it, there may be
fairly anticipated a successful result. There may be cir.
cumstances of doubt and difficulty which, for a while, will
cross your path, but, depend upon it, Providence in the
end, both to them and to you, will crown the issues.
(Loud cheers.)
The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. J.
Cheethain, M.P., Mr. R. Fort, and the Rev. Dr. Vaughan;
and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the proceed:

FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF BEAUFO.RT.

The mortal remains of this deeply lamented nobleman
were yesterday deposited in the vault containing the
ashes of the fathers of his house at Badminton.
The last sad offices of the dead were only completed
on Wednesday night. The hall was unadorned with
funereal paraphernalia, except that the floor was covered
with black cloth, and at the north end an escutcheon of
the deceased's arms was displayed. The coffin rested
upon a bier in the centre of the apartment. It
was covered with rich crimson velvet, and elaborately
ornamented. A silver gilt plate upon the lid bore the
following inscription :

"Henry,
Seventh Duke of Beaufort. K.G.
Born February 5, 1792 .
Died November 17, 1853."

A black velvet pall, with gold fringe, fell in grace' at

' folds over the coffin. Upon-a crimson velvet Cirshiorta,
at the head of the corpse,
,d . , was placed the coronet of the
deceased duke, setire feet a lid of feathers added
solemnity to the scene. Mutes were stationed at pro.
per intervals, and a faithful attache of the larnily off.
elated as " herald." The hall was lined with a picked
detachment of Gloucestershire Yeomanry Cavalry, of
which fine regiment the duke was colonel. Daylight
was wholly excluded, and the apartment was Mutt&
nated by a number of wax-lights.
The public were admitted at ten o'clock, and for
nearly three hours a continuous succession of spectator*
passed through the hall. Although, by order of the
present duke, no restriction was made, the visitors, with
few exceptions, were attired in deep mourning. Even
the humbler classes contrived to don some mark of out-
ward respect for their deceased lord, and all appeared
alike impressed with feelings of the deepest regret for
the loss of an honoured and beloved friend and master.
The more respectable inhabitants of the neighbour-
hood were admitted into the church at noon. A great
crowd of spectators, notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, remained in the park, from whence a good
view of the procession from the house across the flower
garden into the church could be obtained. The route
taken by the funeral cortege was marked by a double line
of the Yeomanry Cavalry on foot, with crape round
their left arms.
The church bell now pealed forth its solemn note, and
the procession having been formed, left the mansion.
The rain fell heavily as the mournful cortege passed
across the garden to the church. The Duke of Beaufort
walked uncovered, and appeared deeply affected.
The church was densely crowded, but not the slightest
confusion occurred. Every one present appeared deeply
impressed with the solemnity of the event which deprived
them at once and for ever of a beloved patron and friend.
The service concluded amid the scarcely suppressed
sobs of the multitude, and some hours had elapsed before
the church was cleared of those whose anxiety led then
to linger within the precincts of the sacred edifice.
