ASTLEY'S THEATRE.

The attraction of this popular establishment re-
ceived an addition last night, by the first appearance
of Miss Woolford for the season. The graceful,
agile, and fearless performances of this lady on the
tight rope, are too well known and appreciated by
the frequenters of Astley's to need either. _coni,__!

11ANCIIESTER COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION.—The
annual meeting of the Manchester Commercial Associa-
tion was held yesterday in the York Hotel-buildings.
Mr. J. A. Turner, the president of the association, oc-
cupied the chair, and opened the proceedings by taking
a brief review of the labours of the association during the
past year, observing that an increased supply of a good
description of cotton was one of the principal features of
the past year ; and he had no doubt that, if the East
India Company made better roads, there would be a re-
volution in the cotton trade of that vast territory. He
congratulated the mercantile men of Manchester upon
the manner in which they had passed through the last
year, when many eminent houses elsewhere were unable
to stand the pressure of the times. The secretary then
read the report, which was adopted. Mr. W. Gibb
complained that the principles of free trade had not made
that progress on the Continent which they were led to
expect would have been the case. He thought Mr.
Cobden should leave Liverpool to carry out financial re-
form, and take care of his own child, free trade, and not
to mind other people's children. Mr. Schuster said that
fee trade associations were being formed in Germany,
and one of the ablest advocates of free trade in France
had been made Minister of the Interior. The officers of
the association for the ensuing year were then appointed,
and, after a vote of thanks to the retiring directors and
to the president, the proceedings terminated.

FRAN

The Committee on Instruction has resolved that the
members of the seccnd section of national instruction
called de perfectionnement shall be nominated by the
corps which may hare an interest more or less direct
in the progress of public instruction, as, for instance,
the Institut, the College de France, the Ecole Poly-
technique, &c., &c. The number of these members is
to be from twenty-five to thirty, but they cannot deli-
berate without the members of the first section, twelve
in number. The second section is to occupy itself
with all the modifications to be made in general
instruction, in examinations of all kinds, and in the
drawing up of the programmes. The decisions of this
section will not be voted Aithout the authorisation of
the Minister of Public Instruction. This section ;is
to meet at least twice a year, or more frequently,
and always on the convocation of the Minister.
As to the third section of the Council of National
Instruction, which is to be called " Section of
Private Instruction,' the Committee has not yet
fixed its ,powers, but has only decided that the
surveillance specially confided to this section and the
first %hall be exercised in the name of the State, by
the intermediary of a corps of inspectors, charged to
inspect the establishments of all kinds, public and
private, lay and ecclesia,,tic. These inspectors may
be selected by the Minister from official, private, or
ecclesiastical teachers. •
