NOTTINGHAM STATE OF TRADE.—LACE.—Our re

NOTTINGHAM STATE OF TRADE.—LACE.-Our report
this week does not materially vary from last week's
statement ; although we are glad to be able to state that
a slight reaction is observable in the increase of business.
Foreign buyers have been purchasing freely, especially
the Americans ; and this, with the orders which re-
mained on hand, has kept the work people more fully
employed. Some few houses have been exceedingly
busy with incidental transactions. Hosiery—We are
glad this week to have to announce a decided improve-
ment in this department. During the week more spring
orders have been received than the manufacturers at all
anticipated ; and there now remains no doubt that the
trade will continue to be fully employed, and to ex-
perience a very busy season.--Nottingham Guardian.

worthy of the name. Books, again, were almost entirely
out of his reach, fur I need not tell you that those large
and costly folios and quartos we now see on the shelves of
old libraries were totally inaccessible, by their price, to
the great majority of men. Book-clubs were unknown in
those days, so that the circulation even of the most po-
pular works was comparatively limited. We are told that
there were no newspapers in existence a century ago, but I
leave it to all who have seen them, especially those of the
earlier part of the last century, to compare them with
those we have at the present day, and they will see that
from such sources as those scarcely any valuable informa-
tion could be derived. But take the same class at the pre-
sent day, and, in the first place, they are comparatively
s the point to which I was anxious to come—it is by
such more wealthy ; in the next place, although I am far
from saying they are perfect in that respect, still undoubt-
edly the opportunities of attending instruction at school
are infinitely greater than they were ; and, lastly—and this
means of institutions of this nature that we are ready,
that we undertake furnish all those who will bring the
will to learn, with the requisite proportion of elementary
knowledge which is indispensable to all study,—to all
such, I say, we offer the means of obtaining instruction
unfettered by the obstacles which poverty might
otherwise present. (Great applause.) The time is
pretty well gone by when we shall hear of the danger
of educating the people ; we know very well the danger
now lies on the other side, that we shall leave them un-
educated. (Applause.) It has sometimes been sail that,
those the majority of whose days are spent in mechanical
toil have little leisure and little desire for any instruction
that deserves the name ; but you have sufficiently refuted
that assertion, and the manufacturing population of Man-
chester have abundantly refuted it. Nothing is more
creditable to the population of this country, and nothing
can render us more hopeful of the future, than the
manner in which those, the greater part of whose lives
is spent in daily toil for their daily subsistence, devote
the small remnant that is left, not to idle amusement,
but to rational and profitable instruction. (Applause.)
Nor will it again be argued, as it has sometimes been,
that to opon to those who have little prospect of rising
above their actual position in life all the sources of
English literature, is only to make them discontented with
their present state. I think we have begun to
recognise as
a public truth that which we all individually
and privately
feel in ourselves—namely, that there is no greater blessing
that Providence has given to man than that power which
we have by means of literature, of living out of
ourselves,
of forgetting our own troubles and our own individual
thoughts, in the thoughts -of the great minds of ages gone
by. (Applause.) If there is a cause for apprehension in
regard to education at the present day, it is rather that
we may perhaps be laying too much stress upon what
may be called the purely utilitarian and material part
of education. I do not mean to deny that every inven-
tion and every discovery by which a man increases the
power of mankind over nature is a great result not only
to the individual, but to the world ; but the number of
such discoveries is comparatively small, and to each
man, I believe, the great end of education should be,
not the vague and uncertain prospect of obtaining
future results for the world at large, but that certain
reward which he himself will reap in the increase
of the intellectual powers, and consequently the aug-
mentation of happiness. I don't believe that any man has
ever obtained great results in literature or in science
who did not love literature and science for their own
sakes. (Applause.) I believe it has occasionally been
urged against institutions like the present that those who
promote them attach, in the scheme of life, too great and
exorbitant a value to these as compared with other matters.
I think we must all feel that to any man knowledge cannot
be everything ; that knowledge is power, but that power
may be dangerous. Knowledge brings responsibility ; and
for him who errs with the power conferred by knowledge it
had been better that he had remained in ignorance. But
these results are not in our hands, and all that we say is
this—that the desire of knowledge is natural to man—that
it is one of the strongest instincts implanted in him by the
Author of his being ; and that, being so, it is an impulse
which he is bound to follow, and that we are bound. so far
as in our power lies, to aid him in following it. That is
the object we propose to ourselves—to remove out of the
path of the student, especially the poor student, all those
material obstacles which would encumber and retard his
progress. The results must be left to the efforts of the in-
dividual himself, and you may be content to leave them
contentedly and cheerfully in the hands of an overruling
Providence. (Loud applause.)
The Rev. Mr. THORBURN then read a report, giving a
history of the origin of the institution. The site of the
present building had been gratuitously granted them by
the late Earl ofDerby, who had enhanced the gift by a do-
nation of 100 guineas. Might such liberality ever distin-
guish that illustrious house, and bring down upon it, to
the latest posterity, the compensations of Providence and
the benedictions of society. The building had been erected
at a cost of 4,875/.,[and this had been met by subscriptions
up to 4,4811., leaving a balance due to the treasurer of about
3931., which it was hoped would soon be supplied by fur-
ther public contributions.
The Lord Bishop of MANCHESTER here rose and observed
that while he did not wish to depart in the slightest degree
from acknowledging the liberality of the house of Derby,
and was perfectly willing to hope and pray that the bless-
ings of Providence might rest upon them, he could never
consent to adopt the form that the " compensations" of
Providence may do so ; and he trusted, therefore, that he
might not be called upon to move an amendment to sub-
stitute the word " blessings" for " compensations."
The Rev. Mr. THORBURN said, as far as he was concerned
the alteration might be made at once ; he believed the
word "compensations" had simply been adopted from some
of Bishop Outler's arguments.
The Rev. C. RICHSON was then called upon by the chair.
man to address the meeting on the benefits of mechanics'
institutions. He was very glad to hear such a flattering
account of this institution, but it was essential that such
an establishment should be self-supporting, and theirs could
not be said to be so entirely until all the teachers in the
classes ceased to render their services gratuitously. And
they must, not lose sight of the necessity of sustaining
there the support which had been accorded so spiritedly
in the outset. At the present time it was notorious that
these institutions were, generally, failures, partly owing
to the deficiency of the members in the necessary primary
instruction, partly to the attempt to make such institutions
class institutions and under class management, and, above
all, owing to the lamentable proneness of the working
classes to waste their time by sotting in public-hcuses. It
must be remembered also that the kind of instruction
afforded by mechanics' institutions at their first projection
was much below the requirements of the present day. In
the education of the productive classes, it was now impera-
ative that they should have what was called secondary
instruction, so that children of all grades and classes should
have an opportunity for their development, which would
enable them to take the places which were now occupied
by foreign artists. He trusted that much would be effected
in this direction by the establishments in London promoted
by the Royal Commission and the efforts of Dr. Lyon Play-
fair and Mr. Cole. (Applause.)
The Lord Bishop of MANCHESTER then rose, and was
received with much applause. After expressing his grati-
fication at the successful establishment of the institution,
his lordship proceeded—Ladies and gentlemen, we have
heard much this evening, and most admirably said, with
respect to the advantages of institutions like the present.
lam not at all blind or indifferent to that advantage. I
should do wrong, and most wrong, if I did not to the ut-
most of my power endeavour to inculcate them upon you ;
but, at the same time, as has been well and truly said, the
subject is a large one, and embraces one or two minor
branches, which, on an occasion like the present, I may
not pass over without some Jefalcation of duty. It is
true the objects of this I jiiiition are most excellent ;
your primary classes will g itneans of instruction to
a large number of members te your town who are willing
to receive them ; your lectures will give, not, as has been
often and erroneously supposed, a complete, and accurate,
and minute explanation and illustration of the different
points they embrace, but will give, if properly and ably
conducted, a useful and valuable bird's eye view of the
study of that which in individual study has been already
passed over. And it has been well and truly said that
Your library will be of all others the most valuable, inas-
much as you give to the student the means not only of
perfecting the knowledge derived from the classes in the
school-rooms, of realising and perfecting the information
obtained from lectures, but also of working for 'himself,
and giving him that which is the peculiar privilege of
every Englishman—and God be praised has been for years,
and God be praised there is every prospect of continuing
so for a long time—of availing himself to the fullest ex-
tent of whatever power and ability God has blessed him
with. While I laud the means, while I entreat you not
to be wanting to the fullest extent, and not merely as
regards exertion, not merely as regards feeling, which
may evaporate before this evening has passed away, but
in earnest and indefatigable efforts to make thisinstitu-
tion,t as far as you possibly can effect it, co-operate
with another kind of institution, you ow, e another
duty to the community
among which you live—an-
other still more important duty to that God who has
placed you here, and imposed all the responsibilities under
which you exist. You may open evening classes, and have
lectures here, and present a library here, stored with able
instructors, stored with gifted writers, stet' red with all those
records of learning, genius, and talent which past ages or
the present age may afford ; but, unless you perform your
bounden duty, not merely intellectually,- but morally ; not
merely morally, but religiously; not merely religiously,
but civilly, to prepare youth to receive the benefits of that
instruction, you are failing in a primary and most essential
element of your duty in every respect. (Applause.) A
speaker who has preceded me has told you of the advan-
tage of secondary education, and I, for one, will never un-
dervalue it, but I will take his own illustration, I will fol-
low him on his own ground, I will take the very circum-
stance he himself has alluded to, and I will ask you to con-
sider that very circumstance alone, depending, as it does,
upon an entirely secondary and inferior branch, which
ought not to bo named for a moment in comparison with
those greater, and higher, and holier interests which affect
all the members of a large and important community like
this, as most of us know. He has told you of institutions
preparing in London under the auspices of the Royal Com-
mission, and promoted by Mr. Cole and others. It is per-
fectly true that for the last three-quarters of a century
art has been encouraged in England in a manner alto-
gether unprecedented ; it is perfectly true that the libe-
rality of George lll.—that the talent of West, and of
Reynolds before him, and of Lrwrence succeeding him
—that the labours of the Royal Academy of Arts, the
labours of other art institutions arising from principles
which I will not too curiously inquire into, but

your young, unless you second the measures which are pro-
