Yoe's, FRlDAY.—Yesterday, an influential meet-
ing of the subscribers and friends to the York Yeo-
man School was held, when Lord Morpeth, who
presided on the occasion, delivered the following
speech, the major part of which is a reply to the
principal of that had been raised to the edu-
cational measure proposed by the Government ;
Lord MORPETH, on rising, said—Ladies and gen
tlemen, the report having been read, perhaps you will
all ,w me to address a few observations to you with
reference to the matter on which it treats.—(Applause).
I am always glad to avail myself of any opportunity,
however far hetween,or of any notice, hawever short,
to pay attention to the business and to the furtherance
of the York Yeoman School. With the continued
support of the public, I do trust we shall make this
institution, however small in its beginning, corn-
mensurate with the wealth and importance of the
county to which we belong. Ido not know that
I need allude to any other topic touching the affairs
of the York Yeoman School, or that I have anything
myself to offer beyond what will be fully supplied to
you by the report which has been read. In case
any further information should be necessary, our ex-
cellent secretary, Mr. Reed, will be able to furnish
all that is required.—(Applause.) With respect to
the subject of education on a yet wider scale, con•
sidering the definite proposals which have been put
forward by her Majesty's Government, considering
the degree of excitement, and lam sorry to say of
difference which they have produced, it will:hardly be
considered out of time and place if I trouble this
meeting with a few observations.—(Applau se.) II
admit that the matter does not strictly pertain to our
proper business. Ours is a purely voluntary under-
taking; it has proceeded thus far by voluntary con- ,
tributions and voluntary efforts, and I certainly do
not see how, in the nature of things, it
can ever
ex-
pect to be supported or extended otherwise. lam in
hopes that, on that account, we, the founders and
friends of the York Yeoman School, do not grudge
any assistance which the national liberality may fur-
nish to those portions of the community whose desti-
tution of the means of education is more hopeless
and more unfriended.—(Applause.) I do not pre-
tend that the scheme in question is perfect either in
its principles or in its details. If I had myself the
power, which some seem almost disposed to at-
tribute to the Privy Council, of issuing an
arbitrary edict, without reference either to Par-
liament or people, I believe I should prefer
a scheme which both did more and did less ;
which, on the ene hand, would have carried edu-
cation more extensively into all our towns and
villages ; and, on the other hand, would have ab-
stained more completely from any religious inter-
ference. I think it is not a time to shrink from pos-
sible misconception in the plain avowal of opinion,
but I confess that increasing experience induces me
to think that the State had better do more for
secular, and less for religious education. In the one
I think it clearly in its element, in the other it risks
getting out of it. But are not individuals bound to
act upon their individual opinions ? Certainly, if
they can give effect to them ; if not, the dictate of
common sense is to do the next best thing. I doubt
whether the proposal that the State should give its
attention exclusively to secular, without any regard
to religious education, would have found acceptance
in this room. I am sure it would not with the
country at large.—(Applause.) Indeed, it is easy to
imagine a few of the soft things which would have
been said about us if we had produced such a plan.
We have then proposed a scheme which, if it is dis
tinguished by anything, it is by an anxious, scrupulous,
I think almost an exaggerated deference for the reli•
gious convictions and susceptibilities of all the parties
with whom it can be brought into contact; it
respects the liberty of religious conscience with a
strictness which is not even to be found in the educa-
tions sys-ems of the United Statea. It takes what it
find,—it invents no regulation, it imposes no check
of its own, though I may myself regret that it does not
prevent others from doing so. But then we hear,
that though there is no professed, and even no in-
tended favouritism, yet virtually and practically there
will be a good deal. Now I have a very sincere
respect—and more, I have a real affection—for many
cf the objectors. They have, in their day, done very
much for education, and no one would'regret more
sincerely than I should if any single means of use•
fulness in their hands should be stunted or crippled.
I own I have little fear of it. Where I differ with
them mainly is, in being satisfied with the education
we have amongst us—with its quantity or its quality.
—(Applause.) I believe (differing from them) that
its quantity is miserably deficient—perhaps not in
their own neighbourhoods—perhaps not, compara-
tively, over our own broad Yorkshire, but over the
width of England, and that a great part of its
quality is insufferably bad.—(Applause.) I believe
this to be the impression of enlightened and im-
partial travellers who have passed through the
country and examined this subject with an in-
telligent and inquiring eye. Can any one read a
book like that of Mr. Horace Mann's educational tour
through Europe without a humiliating sense of
shame? What is there in our England which
should make us inferior in this respect to the United
States, to Saxony, to Holland, to Scotland ? I have
come here without statistics ; they may compute the
numbers receiving education, though I believe that
would not make out their case, but I am content with
"
the evidence of what I see and hear. lam content
with what passes at every petty sessions, where the
far greater part of the fine grown-up
young men and
women can none of them write their own names. I
am content with the details made out by chaplains and
governors of prisons, and I cannot resist the convic-
tion that the education of the mass of our working
men and women, and of that fearful multitude which
goes by the name of the poor,
scanda-
lously deficient.—(Applause.),
is glaringly,
Then, when in such
a state of things the leaders and ornaments of deno-
minations and communities come forward and say—
• You are interfering with our labourers, you are
interrupting our progress, you are weakening our
influence, you are subtracting from our numbers"--
sorry as I should be—incredulous as I am—yet when
such things are put forth as argument, I am forced to
say I really cannot much care.—(Applause.) We
are Churchmen here. It is thought that Church
schools will gain by the new arrangement; if so,
it
will be because they meet it with answer-
ing efferta—(Applause)—bus I disclaim any such
grounds for our proceedings. It is because I
know that out of the pale of the Church, beyond the
limits of the denominations, there is a vast destitute,
neglected mass, festering in our streets and alleys,
with every sight and sound of contamination choking
the accesses to every sense, without any sense of duty
to earth or heaven—upon whom no word ofinstruc-
tion ever falls—upon whom no breath of love ever
G
settles—those unclaimed by Lambeth, unknown toeneva, unconverted by Rome, I would invite, I
almost wish I could compel to come in.—(Cheers.)
I do not so much care to which fold, so that there was
a hope of teaching them that man is their brother, and
that " God is love."—(Renewed applause.) Then
there is another class I would for a moment
allude to as specially connected with this proposal.
Besides those who are to be taught, there are those
who teach. Both seem to me occasionally rather
overlooked in the heat of the competition which is
carried on between the supporters of opposing sys-
tems. Now I feel tempted sometimes to wish that
I could gather together the teachers themselves, the
actual schoolmasters of some of the most successful
and vaunted schools of the different denominations—
for it is, after all, upon them, and not upon the
wealthy patron or the respectable minister, that
the main part of the burden and of the glory
of the successful teaching must rest ; and
having them together, in a place apart, I should like
to put it to them whether they were so satisfied with
the amount of remuneration. they at present receive,
with the place they hold. in society, with the supe-
riority of the advantages it confers to what they might
station, that they
somethe railway
schools
obtain as a clerk in some opulent warehouse, or as a
thinksuperintendent
the
managers
in rejecting the offer. of additional remuneration, ad-
ditional help, additional distinction, which the State
is solicitous to offer them..--(Applause.) The wants
and deficiencies at
.which 1 have. now imperfectly
hinted are those which I conceive the scheme of the
at
of
Government would go a great Way, as far as it can go
at present, to supply and remedy.—(Applause.)
have not been able to refer to a speech which I made
in this city on one of these occasions, a year and a
half ago ; but I remember that I mentioned, as de-
serving the immediate attention of the country, those
specific points—the insufficient number of schools, the
inadequate salaries of schoolmasters, and the pro-
priety of giving them some retiring pension in their
advanced age. This was when I was neither a mem-
ber of the Government or of the Legislature ; and as
they are the precise points embraced in the recent
minutes, I have the satisfaction. of thinking that I
have only become a. party, in . company with my col-
leagues, to provisions. for which
.1 had been anxious
in an unofficial and private capacity. I will just add
thus much. I have more than once referred to
the manner in which those measures bear
upon the Church of England. Now, it has not
always been ray happiness to concur in the courses
which the Church has thought it right to adopt
with reference to education. At times I have
thought it too exclusive, at times too timerous. I re-
joice to witness the attitude she has assumed during
the recent discussions: I presume not to sound all
the motives in which it may originate, nor to divine
all the results it may aim at ; but I see that she is
putting forward no exclusive pretensions; that she is
not seeking to keep back .
from others what she is
willing to compete for with them—and let the
best friends and most faithful children of the Church
feel well assured that she ss not derive half the
credit from her long prescription, her wide posses-
sions, her august architecture, no, not even from

WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING.—Her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent has within these two or three
days been making rapid progress towards recovery from
her late severe attack of influenza, and to-day her Royal
Highness was so far convalescent as to accept her Ma-
jesty's invitation to join the dinner circle at the Castle.
The Queen and Prince Albert walked across the Home
Park this morning, and visited her Royal Highness at
Frogmore Lodge. At four o'clock this afternoon the
Queen's phaeton was ordered up to the Castle, and her
Majesty rode into the Great Park, the Prince Consort
driving. A close carriage followed in company, con-
taining the Ladv-in-Waiting, Countess Mount Edg-
cumbe, the Hon. Miss Murray, and Lord John Russell.
Colonel F. H. Seymour, Equerry.in-Waiting on the
Prince, accompanied the royal party on horseback, and,
after leading the way through the most beautiful drives
in the Great Park, the Prince turned his horses' heads
homewards, and returned to the Castle by the Long
Walk, after a drive of nearly two hours.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN DRURT.-‘‘ e regret to state
that Captain Drury, who was employed in Ireland,
assisting the Board of Works, hls fallen a victim to the.
famine fever in the district of Kinsale. He was one of
the old gallant, but neglected officers of the late war.
By his lamented decease the Government has lost one of
its most able and efficient officers.

Sisal, Feb. 22.
Sir, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of

mvself. our warmest thanks for the prompt as,istafice
rendered to us all; and also ow• heartfe.t gratifud2 for
all the kindness vouchsafed to us in our present unfor-
tunate condition.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.—FRIDA Y —The sup-
Ply of wheat is again very small, and insufficient to meet
the demand, which is rather large, so that we have a
ready sale for this article at 2s. to 3s. advance. Barley
IS in fair request, and brings full prices. Oats and shel-
ling are dull sale at last week's rates. Beans and other
articles remain as last stated.
SALE OF ADVOWSONS.—Yesterday a sale took
Rhine at the Auction Mart, by the Messrs. Smith and
!skin, of the advowsons of the rectory of Woodcbester and
the vicarage of Trocester, which were situated within a
few miles of Stroud, Gloucestershire. They were per-
petual advowsons, with the right of next and all future
presentations, and they adjoined Woodehester Park.
The income of the living, subject to the rates or tithes,
was estimated at about 4654 per annum, and there were
attached to it above 24 acres of valuable glebe land. The
population was about 900. It was knocked down for
3,2001., but was stated to be bought in. The income of
the living of the vicarage of Trocester was estimated at
about 3601., exclusive of surplice fees, Easter offerings,
&c., and the population was about 320. The land tax
was redeemed, and the parochial rates very light. It was
sold for 1,5201.
THE WEST INDIAN SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE IRISH.
—The following is an extract of a letter received yester-
day by the Lord Mayor from the Secretary to the Com-
missioners for dispensing Relief Grants, Barbadoes:—
" I have the honour to inform your Lordship that the
Legislature of this colony, commiserating the deep
distress of their fellow-subjects in Ireland and Scotland,
and not unmindful of the liberal aid rendered by the
people of the united kingdom to the inhabitants of Bar-
badoes in the times of their distress, has granted the
sum of 9,600 dollars (2,046/. 18s. 2d.) for the relief of
the distressed in the above countries." This, we have
the pleasure of adding, is independent of the sum of
3601. 12s. 4d., also received by the Lord Mayor, from a
committee of private gentlemen in Barbadoes.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE HOME OFFICE,
CHARING. CROSS.—Yesterday afternoon, while a number
of men were employed at the Home Office, Charing-
cross, which is now being attached to the Treasury, an
accident of a most deplorable character, and indeed which
it is feared will be attended with fatal consequences, oc-
curred to a labourer named Day Hurly, aged 30, who,
it appears, between the hours of two and three, was
standing at the foot of the scaffold, when a large brick
suddenly fell upon him, having fallen from a height of
upwards of fifty feet. The poor fellow was struck on the
apex of the head, and, it is needless to add, felled in-
stantly to the ground, and from the peculiar position in
Which he was standing at the time, he Las sustained, be-
sides a fracture of the skull, a broken arm, and a dislo-
cation of the collar bone, with other injuries. He was
placed on a shutter in a perfectly insensible condition,
and removed as quickly as possible to the Charing-cross
Rospital, and was immediately attended by Mr. Watts,
one of the house-surgeons, but so serious are his injuries
that no hopes are entertained of his recovery.
FIRE IN OLD FISH-STREET.—Last evening, be-
tween four and five o'clock, a very alarming fire broke
out at 22, Old Fish-street, Upper Thames •street, in the
occupation of Mrs. Ann Holt, box and packing-case
maker. It was caused by a spark flying from the grate
amongst some shavings, which set a large compartment
on the ground floor, used as a workshop, counting.
house, and store-room, in a general blaze. In the course
of a few minutes several engines arrived at the scene,
and although by the period that they could be got into
operation the flames were rushing through the windows
with great fury, by dint of great perseverance the fire-
men succeeded in confining the damage to the premises
in which it originated. Fortunately the property de-
stroyed was insured in the Phcenix fire-office.
PROJECTED PUBLIC DINNER TO Ma. Fox MAULE.
—Tbe town council having agreed on Monday to invite
the representative of the city to a public dinner during
the Easter recess, a deputation of the magistrates, con-
sisting of the Lord Provost and Bailie Wallace, went up
to Birnam Lodge on Tuesday. The invitation was most
graciously received, but as Mr. Mettle informed them he
was to set off the same evening to resume his official
duties in London, it v. as agreed to defer the entertain-
ment till after the close of the Parliamentary ses-ion.
Mr. Manic took the opportunity of stating, in case there
should he any intention among his constituents to call a
public meeting on the subject of the Government scheme
of education, that he thought it should be delayed till
after Lord ohn Russell's promised statement some day
next week, which the Right Hon. Gentleman antici-
pated would contain propositions calculated to remove
the objections of his friends, the Dissenters.—Perthshire
Courier.
TROTTING.—THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS MATC 11.
"—This much talked of affair, which, like others of great
promise, has ended in small performance, was brought
to issue yesterday, over ten miles of the western road,
commenced about a mile on the London side of Reading,
and ending nesr Maidenhead. The day was windy and
toe course dusty ; and as we have not yet got far into
April, and the wisdom of our ancestors has affirmed
a Peck of March dust to be worth a king's ransom, it is
a Pity some of those who attended the match had not a
market wherein to dispose of the flying particles where-
With their beavers and broadcloth were loaded. The
Mare chosen for the task of beating the Manchester
horse's time (which, it may be recollected was thirty-
five minutes four seconds in performing the ten miles)
Was called " The Wonder," and would certainly have
been " no wonder " if' she could not trot the distance in
the time set her by the " Conquering Hero." Mr. Caton
;was in the pigskin, and he started the animal steadily,
improving his pace considerably in the third, fourth, and
fifth miles, at which point fifteen minutes fifty-five se-
conds had been consumed. There were a good many
SPectators of the start, but few at the finish, which was
reached in thirty-four minutes ten seconds, thus beating
the Manchester time by fifty--four seconds. The animal,
although no "Phenomenon mare," evidently possesses
good pace and stamina, and was judiciously ridden.
STEAM-BOAT ACC IDENT.—Yesterday evening, be-
tween five and six o'clock, as the Cricket (one of the
tenidnges)
yboats running between Hungerford and London
r
was proceeding down the river, she ran against
a barge with such violence as to break one of her paddle-
boxes, and do other damage to the vessel. She was in
consequence unable to proceed on her journey.
A man who had lived much in society said that his
acquaintances would fill a cathedral, but that the pulpit

Exchange—Transactions to the amount of about 2,000/.
at 29d. and aboitt 10,0001. at 29kd.
Stock of codfish about 300 barrels, and the article is
much wanted.

Sisal without addressine, to Senor Don Joaquim Morales,
Spanish Consul, these few lines, as the only return it is
in their poser to make for his generous exertions, in
concert with their preservers, for their rescue from the
wreck, and for the benevolent reception he has given
them since landing.
Without distinction of nation, they have received
through him most valuable assistance and much personal
kindness ; and they would beg him to accept their very
grateful thanks, with the assurance that the service he
has rendered will not be soon or readily forgotten.

Sisal, Feb. 20.
Sir,—lndebted for the preservation of our lives to the
noble and disinterested conduct of the captain and chief
officer of the Spanish brig Emilio, to whom we have pub-
hely joined with yourself in writing the letter of which
a copy is enclosed, we feel anxious that such services
should be made known to those who may be influential
enough to bestow some further gratifying mark of public
approval. Under these circumstances, being ignorant of
the course to be pursued, and wishing to avoid any
troublesome appeal, we would gladly depute to you, on
our behalf, the attempt to bring these circumstances
under the notice of her Britannic Majesty's Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs.
If, in such cases, it is not unusual to take this step,
we feel sure that the present occasion is one which
would well deserve that mark of favour which we seek
to obtain for it.

We need hardly say how gratified we should be were
our wish to be complied with on the part of the Foreign-
office, or how thankful we should feel that any other of
those public bodies which are in the habit of bestowing
their approbation upon cases similar to the present one
should be made acquainted with the circumstances.
We are Sir, your obedient servants,
C. A. LEDWARD. E. J. L. ELLisoN.
