r meat are not disposed to recommend any general plan
for educating the people at large, for which the reason
advanced is, that the wide differences and keen
jealousies which unhappily prevail among the inilu-
ential sections of religionists in this country present
difficulties which would render any educational
scheme, intended to be universal in its application,
completely abortive.
It is to be lamented that the bitterness with
which the public mind still continues to be, more or
less, impregnated with the odium theologicum re-
mains an incontrovertible fact. Lord BROUGHAM,
whose whole life has manifested a continuous patrio-
tic ardour for conferring upon the masses of the
people the inappreciable blessings of education, yes-
terday conceded the leading obstruction to their de-
velopment to be that, much as the two great classes
—Churchmen and Dissenters—regarded the benefits
of education, they nevertheless preferred their love of
controversy, the obdurate maintenance of which
paralyzes every effort to cultivate, by any comprehen-
sive system, the mental faculties of the vast numbers
which constitute the humbler ranks of the community.
Under such circumstances, the Government have con-
centrated their energies in favour of the next best
step that could be taken—via., to extend Lhe existing
system in a variety of excellent ways. Additional
inspectorstare to be appointed—the best scholars are
to be instructed to render them eligible schoolmasters,
and, if they should not attain to tilt' requisite degree
of proficiency, employment to be open to
them in the great revenue departments—
schoolmasters and mistresses to be rewarded
with retiring pensions and gratuities—the pupils, in
towns, to have the means of gaining a practical
knowledge in agricultural and mechanical pursuits,
that parents may be induced to send their children to
school ; and, finally, to the reformation of schools in
workhouses will the Legislature be invited to afford
every facility. Such is the outline of the Marquis of
LANSDOWNE'S statement. It was generally ap-
proved of, and with good reason. It is a
most laudable endeavour to do much in a
direction where all that is desirable to be
accomplished cannot, for the reasons to which
we have adverted, be accomplished. We must get on
by degrees. All sound legislation is, for the most
part, a judicious compromise of opinion. Ne sutor
ultra crepidam. The Government are entitled to
great praise for the practical wisdom they have
evinced in the important suggestions which we have
enumerated. We hope their anticipations will be
amply realised.

For the first time within the memory of man two
measures of a great and comprehensive character
relating to Ireland, involving principles of great
importance and magnitude, declaring how and by
what means an entire people are to be fed during a
crisis of extraordinary difficulty, and on whom the
expenses thereby incurred are to be chargeable, have
been discussed in a calm, temperate, and statesman-
like manner, without any opposition being offered
on any side, and with a general approval of all parties;
indeed every one seemed for once to have resisted the
temptation of attacking those in authority ; and,
although some thought the Ministry went too far in
their propositions, while others argued that they did
not go far enough—while one declared that the Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland should be invested with full
regal powers—and another demanded the total abo-
lition of the office, while some declared against Go-
vernment interfering directly with the reclamation of
the waste lands, and asserted that the sum demanded
for the purpose, 1,000,0001. sterling, would be quite
inadequate to do any good, and others expressed their
most favourable anticipations of the good effects
thereof, esteeming it the most valuable of the projects
already announced, and one calculated to effect the
greatest and most beneficial change in the social con-
dition of the country—both Bills received their
second readings, and were forwarded a stage, without
a division, nay without a single voice being raised in
opposition to their progress. " Measures, and not
men," are now looked to on every side ; and if the
proposition is good in itself it is supported without
reference to the quarter from whence it originates-
These things, however, are too good to last. We
fear that it is but a temporary truce, and not a per-
manent and lasting peace, that has been effected, and
that when the enactments necessary for the present
emergency have received the legislative sanction, the
Senate-house will again become the theatre of fierce
contests and party dissensions, of angry recrimina-
tions and hostile divisions. The common enemy is
too formidable, the exigency is of too grave a
character to be encountered by a divided and dis-
united Legislature; but when that difficulty is
removed things will resume their ordinary course
and flow in their accustomed channels.

It would be very desirable if each measure was
considered on its own peculiar points and on those of
others immediately connected with it, and Honourable
Members should not be impatient because everything
that may be necessary during the progress of the
session has not already been brought forward, or even
alluded to in the Ministerial scheme. The first
grand necessity is to carry into execution the means
necessary for obtaining a present provision for the
people ; the hungry must be fed, the naked must be
clothed, the sick must have their wants attended to,
before any of the more permanent measures are even
discussed. The grand jury laws may and most
assuredly do want revision and an extensive reform,
but full time still remains for the most searching in-
vestigation (if such should be considered necessary)
into their mode of working, and the vile system of
road jobbery that has been effected by their means,
that too frequently has transformed many of the Irish
farmers and gentry into what, in one point of view,
may be termed " highway robbers," and for passing
the necessary changes into law.

We have as yet only reached the period when
Parliament has usually been assembled, and
when the preliminary skirmishing is about to com-
mence, and yet much has already been done. The
public works on roads are to be abandoned, save so
far as it may be necessary to complete the under-
takings already commenced. The destitute poor are
to be fed by rations distributed to them, and thus
their labour will be left free for, and applicable to,
that most important description of work—the fit and
proper cultivation of the soil—the adequate prepara-
tion for the ensuing harvest ; and a sum of money is
ready to be advanced by the Government (which will
doubtless be increased, if it should appear that there
is an urgent necessity for a larger expenditure in that
manner), in order to enable the more impoverished of
the small farmers to obtain the necessary seed to sow
into the land, which they are now unable to procure
from their own diminished resources. The
Irish Poor-law is to be extended with the
general approbation of the Irish as well as the
English Members. As in other matters there are
differences as to the details, and some of those having
property in that country have expressed great fears
of the effects of a concession of the right of out-door
relief to the able-bodied poor, we think, however,
that such a fear is unfounded; there are ample op-
portunities for the profitable employment of all the
labour of the country in the cultivation and improve-
ment of its soil, and the certainty that the labour
must be paid for, under any circumstances, will
stimulate the landlords to direct it into profitable
channels. They will thus be compelled to accept the
benefits and assistance offered to them by the nation,
and to bring their lands into the highest state of fer-
tility and productiveness. Like children, they contend
against the salutary medicine, which may at first be
unpleasant, but will assuredly produce the racist
beneficial effects. We most sincerely hope that all
the other measures relating to Ireland may be dis-
cussed in the same spirit and temper that has
hitherto characteriAed all the debates relating to that
country.

A letter from Homburg of 29th ult. says—

" When the late Landgrave, Philip Augustus, granted to
Messrs. Blanc, brothel s, of Nantes, in France, the exclusive
privilege of keeping the gaming-tables at the baths of Hom-
burg, the only condition imposed upon them was that they
should pay to the State an annual sum of 26,0(X) francs ; but
reserved to his successor the right of increasing this cont,i-
bution, or of withdrawing the privilege from Messrs. Blanc
and granting it to other persons. The new Landgrave, Gus-
tavus Adolphus, who has just taken the reins of government,
has exercised this right, and, taking advantage of the sup-
pression of public gaming-houses in nearly all the baths of
Germany, has signified to Messrs. Blanc that he should with-
draw their privilege unless they entered into an engagement
to pay an annual contribution to the State of 62,000 francs;
to pay annually into the treasury of the municipality of
Ilomburg 10.1,000 francs to be employed in the embellish-
ment of that capital ; to build at their own expense a theatre
at Homburg, and lastly, at their own expense, in the city, an
hospital for 150 sick paupers, and to have them constantly

taken care of without any charge to the Government or city.
However exorbitant these terms may appear to be, they
have been accepted by Messrs. Blanc, upon the only condi-
tion that they may be allowed to form a joint-stock com-
pany, with a capital of 3,900,000 francs, to be divided into
3,000 shares of 1,300 francs each, which condition the Go-
vernment has acceded to."

Madrid papers of the 29th ult. have arrived.
A Ministry is at length formed, under the Presidency
of tho Duke DE SOTOMAYOR. The following is its com-
position:—

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
There is to be a debate on the subject of the Mort-
pensier marriage after all. M. GUIZOT'S refusal to dis-
cuss the matter on Tuesday, his appeal to the patriotism
of the Opposition, was merely a trick, quite worthy cf
the other tricks which M. GUIZOT has practised in re-
lation to these marriages. The object of this trick was
discovered on Wednesday, when the Journal des _Mats
and the Presse raised a song of triumph over the
Opposition pretending that they felt themselves beaten,
that they did not dare to attack M. GUIZOT on the sub-
ject of the marriages, and that the silence of M. TRIERS
was a tacit admission of the injustice of the charges
brought by the Constitutionnel. On the meeting of the
Chamber M. TRIERS stated that he should have spoken
en the subject of the marriages but for the appeal made
to his patriotism by M. GUIZOT, and the declaration by
the Minister of the inconvenience which would attend
the discussion. M. GUIZOT then rose, and with mar-
vellous effrontery denied that he had made any appeal
on the subject, denied that he had attempted to
stop the discussion, denied that he had ever
said the discussion would be inconvenient, de-
clared that he had never seen any inconvenience in
a moderate debate, but added, that as he had not been
attacked, he did not see any reason to provoke discus-
sion. This brought up M. CREMIEUX, who reminded
the Minister that his speech, upon the conclusion of
which, on Tuesday, M. GUIZOT had made his remark-
able declaration, had been one continued attack on the
Government. It was finally arranged that the discus-
sion should take place on Thursday, and that M. Limns
should begin. A discussion followed on the Cracow
question, and the ambiguous words of M. G trtzcer's pro-
test are made use of in the Address :—"La France deiire
sineirement le respect de l'independence des eats, et le
maintion des engagemens, dont aucune puissance ne peut
s'affranchir, sans en affranchir en memo temps les autres."
These words are purposely ambiguous. They contain
an arriere pence, and are intended to be a covert re-
pudiation on the part of France of the Treaty of Vienna,
to be referred to as such whenever the day shall arrive
in which she shall find herself strong enough to carry
out her ambitious views of aggrandisement at the ex-
pense of her neighbours; indeed, M. VITET, the re-
porter of the Address, characterised it as a protest for
the past and a reserve for the future—a description, the
truth of which was confirmed by M. GunoT. The sitting
was enlivened by a Radical speech from M. DE GENOUDE,
the Legitimatist, which so horrified the other members
of the party, that they have excommunicated the culprit.
On Thursday the discussion on the Montpensier mar-
riage was commenced by M. TRIERS, who was speaking
when the post left, at which time he had been addressing
the Chamber for three hours. He went fully into the
question of the negotiations which had preceded the
marriage, and declared that he bad read with attention
all the documents, and he gave it as his solemn convie
tion that the Whigs had not in the least deviated from
the engagements entered into by their predecessors. In
every respect had they been faithful to the principles
laid down by England as agreed to with Lord ABER-
DEEN. Here the Honourable Member dwelt for some
time upon Lord ABERDEEN'S letter to the Due
DE SOTOMAYOR, Lord COWLEY'S dispatch of the
13th of July, and Lord PALMERSTON'S letter
to Mr. BULWER of the 19th of July, arguing
that Lord PALMERSTON had done nothing more than
had Lord ABERDEEN. It was, however, in consequence
of that dispatch of the 19th July, that M. GtizoT con-
sidered himself relieved from his engagements. What
was more, the; correspondence between Lord PALstEns
TON and M. GuizoT continued after this date, and his
Lordship reiterates and confirms anew his declaration,
that Don Ihuinx appeared to him the fittest candidate
for the hand of the QUEEN. How did M. GUIZOT

reply ? Let us, said he, unite our efforts in favour a

Don HENRI; and in conformity therewith, Mr. BULWER
receives orders to use his efforts in favour of
Don LIENRI. On the 22d of August, both Cabinets
are in accordance, or, at least, appear to be. How-
ever, Count BRESSON, at Madrid, is acting in a very
different sense. In London, it was said, Count
BRESSON was acting horrors—at Paris he was said
to have been doing wonders. He was, however,
not capable of doing either one or the other--
Count BRESSON had just executed the orders he
had received. On the 28th August the marriages were
decided at Madrid. He approved of the QUEEN'S mar-
riage, but certainly that of the Due DE MONTPENSIER
together ss e
was not, in a political point of view, worth the sacrifice
of the English alliance. " You have," said M. TRIERS,
"given given England a check ; but, mark my words, you
will have to pay for it." He proceeded to observe uponon
both marriages theasserin
that a
asser-
tion, he said, was not supported by the official docu-
ments. M. TRIERS thea condemned the policy pur-
sued ; in his opinion the marriage of the two sisters
with both brothers would have been best. Passing
from the policy of the question to the procedes observed,
he declared that they were abominable. The French
Cabinet, in the first place, was wanting in frankness,
Having decided upon escaping from its engagements, it
continued negotiations commenced under the emprise of
those engagements. Want of frankness was particu-
larly manifested in M. GUIZOT'S interview with Lord
NORMANDY.
The Opposition journals make some strong remarks
on the explanation given by M. GUIZOT on Wednesday
of his conduct on Tuesday, which explanation they con-
sider an insult to those Members who had addressed the
Chamber before hi. GIJIZOT made his remarkable de-
claration.
The Gout/Vitt/ouzel says—
" M. Guizot did not perceive that he only defended the
self-love of the anther at the expense of the statesman. It
was thought on Tuesday that M. Guizot, in presence of the
difficulties of the situation, and not to add to its gravity,
found it inconvenient to speak, and demanded the suppres-
sion of the discussion as a concession, as a desire which
every one felt to see peace confirmed. Yesterday, M. Guizot
himself declared that he wanted to avoid the trouble of
replying to adversaries who were not worthy of him. This
was strongly shown by MM. Berryer and Cremieux, who
pointed out how unbecoming was the explanation given by
111. Guizot of his declaration of the day before. But M. Thiers
had another duty—to take formal note of the reiterated de-
claration of M. Guizot that he had not appealed to any one;
that he saw no inconvenience in the discussion taking place, but
he was unwilling to commence it; that he had taking a pre-
cautionfor himself, and not for the country. In consequence
of that assertion, the motives which had determined the
Opposition to guard silence existed no longer, and M. Thiers
announced that he intended fulfilling the new duty thus
imposed on him by the declaration just made by: M. Guizot.
The representative Government is one of discussion, and it is
important with the dignity of the assembly that the gravest
questions that have been examined since 1830 should be
completely discussed. This is what M. Thiers expressed
amidst the applause of the whole Chamber."
We read in the Quotidienne:—" Our number of yes-
terday was seized at the post-office, and in our bureaux.
The warrant does not name the article which called forth
this act of authority. We have searched in vain for a
phrase or word which could have been a motive fur any
act of severity."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool has receded about %d.
per lb. for American sorts, during the present week. Brazils,
Egyptians, and Surat have been steady. The quantity sold
has been 27,040 bales, of which 7,800 American were taken
on speculation. The stock is 449,410 bales against 867,410
bales at this time last year. The average consumption per
week this year has been 17,226 bales, while last
year to the same date it was 32,582 bales, a
striking result of the effect of high prices. The
speculative purchases this year have increased, on the
other hand, by 26,800 bales. These are facts worth know-
ing, and will be appreciated accordingly by reflecting in-
dividuals.
The Share Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
firmer.
A great many Railway Shares were disposed of at Messrs.
Lamond and Co.'s public sale yesterday, and prices were
considered firm, although no great advance was noticeable.
The following are a few of the principal sales :
East Indian ...
Waterford, Wexford, and Valentia ...... 0 5 0
North Staffordshire
London and Manchester (Remington's) 0 7 6

The Bank of England returns to January 30 are of some
importance, as the following note of the principal changes
during the week will serve to prove :
Notes issued, 26,172,8701.; decrease, 593,3901.
Bullion, 12,901,658/. ; decrease, 541,222/.
Public deposits, decrease, 205,6171.
Other deposits, decrease, 695,895/.
Seven day and other bills, decrease, 11,303/.
Other securities, decrease, 383,5851.
Notes, decrease, 463,6151.
Although the exchanges were rather firmer yesterday
afternoon, the exports of bullion are known to be large this
week, at least half a million sterling, and the arrivals of
grain continue large, as well indeed as of other provisions.
There is nothing of particular novelty in the advices from
New York. The banks are stated to be in a healthy condi-
tion, and trade wos active as might be expected with such
large exports.
The Public Securities have been exceedingly quiet this
morning. Consols realise 91 to 91% for transfer and the
account day. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been
firm, at 4s. to 7s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have realised 92% to 931/8. Bank Stock is firm,
at 203 to 204.
Mexican Stock is still rather in favour, under the im-
pression that the mediation of our Government will be of-
fered. The Active Bonds are 223/4 to 23%. Spanish
Three per Cents. are supported at 34%. Dutch Four per
Cents. have been quoted 92% to 92%.
The Share Market is rather more buoyant.
