(From the Morning Advertior,)
Mr. Ewart's motion for 4. the establishment of Schools
o' Design in the Manufacturing Districts," stands on the
notice book of the House of Commons for to-n.orrow.
Tim of jeet embraced by it is useful and important. It
will be recollected that we did our utmost to ree,:mmend
the establishment of such provincial schools of design, as
advantageous accessories to the Government School of
Design, established at Somerset-house—the necessity,
with reference to the competitive prosperity of our foreign
trade, we urged upon the notice of Government long prc-
vious to its institution. We supported that measure prin-
cipally as we now do that of Mr. Ewart, in consequence of
the ii resistible mass of convincing evidence brought by
the beads of all the great commercial houses in th? country
before the " Select Committep cf Arcs and Manufac-
tures." That evidence proved the great inferiority of
t'-e staple manufactures of this country in taste of design,
in consequence of the uneducated condition of the great
body of ariisaror employed in those manufactures, and the
consequent depreciation of the commercial reputation and
of the finanelal profits of the country. Mr. Hurne's motion
lzst night, for opening the public museums, may (as we
have often contended) be regarded as a. valuable accessory.
to the same vital object of " educating the public eye," and
improving and clevating the taste of the various arts of
design allied so intimately with our staple manufactures.
We coasider the ciaject of :u 'h branch provincial schools
of (Liign as those proposed by Mr. Ewart as equally
im-
portant in a commercial as in a social point of view. They
tend to promote the profits of trade, and increase social
comforts in an equal degree, as they tend to augment the
moral refinement of the working classes, and raise. the in-
tellectual cuaracter of society.

(From the Cork Southern Reporter.)
On Thursday evening, at seven o'clock, a large as-
semblage took place at Conway's Royal Horse Bazaar,
Sullivan'is.quay, for the purpose of hearing a lecture on
the effects of the Corn-laws, by Mr. J. J. Finnigan, of
the Manchester Anti-Corn-law League. The placard
calling the. meeting concluded with these words—
" Irishmen, look around you, and what do you behold?
A starving population .and absentee landlords rioting in
luxurious profusion, by the means of enormous rents
raised through the unhallowed influence of the iniquitous
Corn-laws."
