THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1836.

necessary to sacrifice the best interests of the rising
generation among the working classes at home, we
should not hesitate as to the course we should pursue.
The health, the comfort, the intellectual and moral
improvement of the people, are in our mind objects of
paramount importance—objects in which not only the
present but future generations are more deeply inte-
rested than in any others.
We are, however, relieved from the necessity of
making any invidious comparison between the interests
of classes in this case. The manufacturers of York-
shire and Lancashire, who must be supposed to under-
stand what concerns their affairs, have declared that no
such grinding labour as some would impose upon
children, is necessary for the support of our manufac-
turing superiority. They can derive a reasonable
profit from their capital without subjecting children to
more than eight hours' labour per day ; and if they
can, so we apprehend can others, and this ought to
settle the question.

A discussion took place last night in the House of
Lords on the subject of the Ministerial plan of educa-
tion in. Ireland. Lord NARCISSUS WICKLOW
brought forward the question, and after insinuating
that the system was not what it ought to be ; here
hinting " a fault," and there hesitating " a dislike"—
for he was too shrewd to speak openly against it—
added with infinite modesty that he " begged it would
be distinctly understood that he had no desire of run-
ning down the system of education !" How like is
this to the conduct pursued by the Quaker on a certain
well known occasion I A dog in passing happened to
make a snap at his calf, whereupon friend Broadbrim,
whose sense of humanity would not allow him to beat
the animal, contented himself with just whispering
meekly in the ear of the bye-standers " mad dog I" So
acts Lord WICKLOW with respect to the Irish educa-
tion system. His discretion will not allow him to
attack it openly, so he contents himself with whisper-
ing " mad dog" in the ear of their Lordships, and then
takes credit to himself for his forbearance. But every
one can see through this shallow artifice, and appre-
ciate the spirit that prompts his remark, that " an
enquiry is essential to satisfy all parties." The Mar-
quis of LANSDOWNE replied to "Narcissus" in a brief,
but effective speech ; in the course of which he gave
a flat denial to two assertions made publicly in the
House of Lords some time since by the Bishop
of EXETER, to the effect, that certain works had
been used in an Irish school, as a copy for the chil-
dren, which were of a seditious character ; and that
in the same school a prayer had been used for some
Whiteboys, who had been executed at the preceding
Assizes. The Noble Marquis said that he had in-
stituted the most rigid inquiries, and found that there
was not so much as a single grain of truth, in either of
these assertions. It would seem from this, and a hun-
dred similar instances which we need- not here specify,
as they must be well known to the majority of our
readers, that the Tories are unable to speak the truth,
even by accident. Doctor Jots NSON used to say that
" the Devil was the first Whig," but the circumstance
of his being " the Father of Lics," convinces us that
he must have been the first Tory.

At the Croydon Conservative Association Dinner,
which took place yesterday, Sir EDWARD SUGDEN,
who was present, made a furious speech against the
Liberals, in the course of which, alluding to the
House of Lords, he said, that should it by any chance
be reformed, he would make a point of leaving the
country. This is intelligence that will spread a panic
from one end of the kingdom to the other. BROUGHAM
we can spare—MELBOURNE we can spare—O'CoN-
NELL we can spare; but who or what is to compensate
us for the loss of a SUGDEN? The very idea of such
a man leaving us, is enough to make us despair of the
Constitution. In mercy then to our sufferings, do
not quit us, Sir EDWARD ! As you are a pa-
triot, stay and comfort us in our affliction. Think
of your benighted country mourning in tears the set
of so brilliant a sun I But we cannot believe that
Sir EDWARD will have the heart to leave our
shores. No, he will remain with us, faithful to the
last, even though an ungrateful Whig Cabinet should
never reward him with a Peerage for_ his patriotic
devotion ! Should he, however, despite our delicate
remonstrances, persist in his intention to " bolt," we
trust Parliament will adopt some means for bringing
him within the scope of that law which prevents the
Heir Apparent from quitting the British soil. In
desperate emergencies, desperate remedies must be had
recourse to, and Sir EDWARD SUGDEN is a states-
man who must be kept among us at all hazards. He
is—to quote a sentiment never before quoted—" like
the air we breathe ; if we have him not, we die."

The whole of the Paris Papers of Thusday have
been received. The following is copied from the offi-
cial columns of the Moniteur

After the affair on the 24th, the Carlists withdrew to Olaguc
with 350 wounded.

On the 25th they were reinforced with three battalions.
The Christinos have remained at Larrasoana, and the en-
virons.

The Viceroy, Baron de Meer, has been superseded by Ge-
neral Epeleta.

On the 25th Cordova moved towards Logrono with two
divisions.

On the 27th the Carlists made a very feeble attack on the
right of the Christino line at St. Sebastian. They were re-
pulsed with a loss of about thirty men.
This includes the whole of the intelligence of any
moment received from the North of Spain.
The following extracts are from Thursday's jour-
nals :

" Thanks to heaven 1 there is every reason to presume
that Alibeaud has no accomplices, and that he will share with
nobody the hideous celebrity which he has sought for. The
most active and minute investigation has discovered no ves-
tige of a plot, and the arrests which have been effected, and
the number of which has been much magnified, do not appear
connected with the attempt. 'We doubt the possibility of com-
mencing the trial on Monday, as stated by some prints; but,
on the other hand, its duration is likely to be a short one. The
sacred rights of a prisoner's defence will be respected, but Fi-
eschi's rival will not have time to exhibit himself before his
judges as a dramatic criminal, and to display at length, in pre-
sence of the country, the stupid pride with which his crime in-
spired him. The laws will pronounce, and justice strike ; and
the name of the murderer will, we trust, endure less than the
disgust he excites."—lmpartial.
M. de Talleyrand has written to Louis Philippe, and ad-
vised him to shut up Alibeaud at Charenton.
Most of the persons arrested are not charged with having
participated in the attempt of the 25th inst., but with having
formed part of a society which for some time past the police
had watched with particular care. A paper says that, among
those persons twelve have been put into solitary confinement,
and that they are implicated in a rather old plot, the seat of
which was the Faubourg St. Marceau. It appears the affair
will be prosecuted according to the ordinary course.
The day before yesterday, the 27th, the forty-eight Po-
lice Commissioners of Paris assembled at the Prefecture,
under the Presidency of M. Gisquet. The meeting lasted
till midnight.
To-day four new arrests have been effected. Among the
persons captured are mentioned the ex-police agents, Gauchal
and Chapuis. Yesterday twenty persons were released.—

PARIS, JUNE 30.—Accounts from Madrid, dated June 23d,
have been received to-day. The kingdom of Valencia con-
tinues to suffer much from the excesses committed by the band
of Cabrera, which, has become formidable. It even appears
that it has entered Lower Arragon, where it must be hoped
that the Queen's troops, which are pretty numerous, will be
able to check it.
It seems certain that M. Aguirre Solarte had definitively
refused the office of Minister of Finance, and that no appoint-
ment will be made instead of him, before the approaching
opening of the session of the Cortes.
It may be remembered that part of the Grandees had of-
fered their property as a security for the public debt. The
means of realising this prospect seems to have been the object
of a late meeting of the Grandees of Spain, at Madrid, but
the result is not known.

Tl;eGovernment has given orders to pay to the holders oi
the Passive Debt, the amount due for the month of Mara,
they not having received any thing since last February.
A letter-from Toulon, of the 25th ult., says, " The Sphynz•
steamboat, which bas arrived from the Levant, and has brought
news from This, has on board the aid-de-camp of Admiral
