THIS DAY, and on SATURDAY, TUESDAY, and
THURSDAY NEXT, at Two o'clock precisely, by Profes-
sor CLARK, of the University of Aberdeen, on his NEW

ing and colouting mater, destroying the insects, and withdraw-
ing frs.m solmion large quantities of solid matter nut separable

SIR ROBERT PEEL'S SCHOOL.
The inansgement of Sir Robert Peels's charity school
at Tamworth would be a matter of little interest to the
public, but for the illustration which it has recently
afforded of the peculiar morality of the Prime Minister
of the country, and that of his clerical and other de-
pendents ; as well as of the purposes, political and op-
pressive, to which, in Tory hands, institutions, pro-
fessedly fir eleiri!y and instruction, may be perverted.
The subject was first brought before the public by
the followieg extract of a letter from Mr. Acland, the
Anti-Corr-law lecturer :
" There is in Tamworth a grammar-school, founded
by Sir Robert's father, for the gratuitous education oftho
children of the inhabitants so long as a Peel shall repre-
sent the borough ; and I tun credibly informed that the
master (Savage by name, and, as it should seem, servile
by nature) informed the boys a few days since that he
had received a letter from the Prime Minister, ordering
him to discharge the children of all those who had
signed the petition! The way being thus prepared, the
relieving officer and his colleagues went round to the
parents of the children to inquire' if they had signed
that important document. And the public may believe
that some disclaimers were the consequence."
In consequence of this statement, the Standard
published a letter to Sir Robert Peel from Mr. Savage,
describing him as " the clergyman who has the general
charge of Sir Robert Peel's school at Tamworth in the
Right Honourable Baronet's absence, and the party
ref/erred to in the calumny which he exposes." It will
be observed that no question is raised about the mas-
tership of the school. That the master's name is Sa-
vage is no part of the charge. It is a circumstance
which, whether correctly or incorrectly assumed, is al-
together incidental. The fact has since come out that
there is another, or subordinate master.r- under Mr.
Savage's control ; that this other master has dismissed
some boys ; that this other master has questioned one,
at least, of the boys on the subject of the petition ;
and that this other master has been embroiled both
with children and parents relative to the Corn-law
question. Knowing all this, which it is passing strange
if his principal does not know also, Sir Robert Peel's
clerical friend and agent writes thus for the benefit of
the public :
" I have been told that one or more parae-raphs,
ginally in The Sun newspaper, have been copied into the
provincial papers, stating that I had dismissed from your
school the boys whose parents had signed the petition
lately sent from this town. I trouble you with this, to
assure you that there is not the slightest shadow of an
excuse for such a falsehood. No boy has been dis-
charged from your achooL for any cause whatever, for
many months, nor have I spoken to any of them on the
subject of the petition. I have the honour to be, dear
Sir, your faithful servant,
" Tamworth, Oct. 17." " R. C. SAVAGE."
The disgraceful equivocation of this seeming denial
is like that of the two thieves in the fable ; the one
did not steal the leg of mutton, and the other had not
got it. A direct falsehood would have been more
manly, and not less moral. And the lie which the
writer palmed (for a few days) upon the public, goes
beyond the occasion. Mr. Ackland had not stated
that any boys had been actually dismissed. He had
only imputed the threat, not the act. Why, then,
does the Rev. R. C. Savage deny the dismissal ? Ap-
parently, because he knew (which Mr. Acland did not)
that there had been an expulsion. Ho adds an accu-
sation, for the purpose of contradiction, to those which
bad actually been made, not because it had been falsely
asserted, but because it had really occurred. We were
going to say " like master like man ;" but tsuly the
man outdoes the master in superfluous equivocations.
It may be inquired how we obtained the knowledge
of these most discreditable facts. We had them from
no private source. They rest on no Anti-Corn-law
authority. We have not sent down a reporter to in-
vestigate. The Morning Post of yesterday, in the
exuberance of its indiscreet zeal as the organ of the
new Premier, publishes them under the voucer of its
own " Correspondent." We shall give the whole of
this curious statement. After an introductory sentence
or two, the writer begins with the impression that this
professed charity has been prostituted to political pur-
poses in the borough :
" The school in question was founded and endowed by
the late Sir Robert Peel about the year 1820, and from
that period until the present time a number of boys,
varying from sixty to eighty, have been clothed and fed
upon the foundation. How far the charity has been used
for the promotion of party political purposes will appear
from the fact, that at the present time, out of the seventy
boys in the school, at least two-thirds of them are the
children of Sir Robert's political opponents—that is,
where the parents possess tile franchise. The only qua-
lification which has ever been demanded or required by
Sir Robert Peel is this, that the children be of indus-
trious habits and good moral characters."
Of the boys whose parents are voters, two-thirds are
the children of persons opposed to Sir Robert Peel.
We should like to know in what way these parents find
it prudent to vote. Soon after the election, the Morn-
ing Post (" save me from my friends," may Sir Robert
exclaim) published the curious fact, that sundry voters
at Tamworth gave one of their votes to Sir Robert
Peel, although they were opposed to him in politics.
On that occasion we expressed a desire for some light
upon the how and the why of so inconsistent a proce-
dure. The working of the charity school may be taken
in part explanation. It dispels a portion of the mystery.
But to proceed—
The Rev. R. Savage, as master of the school, and
as the " party referred to" in the charge, flatly, though
ungrammatically, denied the fact of any conversation
with any of the boys " on the subject of the petition,"
The real " party referred to," viz., not Mr. Savage,
but Mr. Tuflield, has been personally examined by the
Correspondent of the Post, as has also the boy with
whom he did sulk "on the subject of the petition."
The result is thus given
" In perfect keeping with the inaccuracy of the state-
ment put forward by the Opposition prints, it should he
observed that though the Rev. Mr. Savage possesses and
exercises tho right of superintending the affairs of the
school, yet for twe.sty years the mastership has been
vested in Mr. T. Tuffield, who has the entire control of
the boys; and I have been assured by this respectable in-
dividual that the only allusions which was ever made to
the subject of the petition within the walls of the school
was a passing question proposed by him to one of his
pupils, whether it was true that he had signed the docu-
ment alluded to. The boy, who does not appear more
than ten years old, replied that he had done so, and furs
titer stated that a brother, fourteen years of age, was the
party that induced him. This I have had verified by the
child himself, and therefore, however far it may go to ex-
pose the absurdity of that proceeding, it goes equally far
to show the absurdity and'acrimony of the Radical fac-
tion, who resort to such expedients fur the promotion of
their degraded purposes."
Now, if Mr. Tufficld has the " entire control" of the
boys, why did Mr. Savage put himself lomat d to
make the assertion which Mr. Tuffield could not
make ? Why did Mr. TutEeld look quietly on at the
promulgat;on cf what he knew to be false ? And why
did Sir Robert Peel, to whom Mr. Savage's letter was
addressed, allow his own name thus to serve as a
voucher for what (in some points at least) he must
have known to be a deception? We suppose the cate-
chism is taught in this school ; but who catechises the
teachers and patron ? Quis custodcs custodiet
The preceding extract only goes the length of prov-
ing conversation with one boy on the subject of the
petition. The next and last complains of the insubor-
dination of " numbers of the boys," and connects that
alleged insubordination, through the parents, with Mr.
Acland, and consequently with Corn-laws and petition-
ing. It goes distinctly to the fact of a recent expul-
sion, thus completing the demolition of the Rev. R. C.
Savage's epistle. It is in reference to an expulsion
(which had not been asserted) that he replies emphati-
cally, " I trot6le! you with this to assure you that
there is not Out slightest shadow of excuse for such a
falsehood." Now hear the evidence of the Morning
Post Correspondent :
" I am credibly informed that Sir Robert Peel, with his
usual promptitude in the despatch of business, has writ-
ten to the Rev. Mr. Savage, with a view to a full investi-
gation and exposure of the facts. In the meantime lam
in a position to assert that, until within the last few duds,
there has not been one boy expelled the school ; and the
cases which have more recently occurred arose entirely
from the negligence and bad conduct of the pupils. There
is, however, one fact which cannot be deplored too
deeply. The harangues of Acland hare produced in
the minds of many of the lower classes a feeling of dis-
affection which, until now, was never experienced in the
borough. This is more remarkable among the recipients
of Sir Robert's bounty than any other class of people.
So much is this the case, that numbers of the boys have
within the last few weeks appeared to forget tne rela-
tionship in which they stand to their master, and all
these cases have been followed up by insolence on the
part of the parents. Mr. Tuflield assures mo that never
during the whole period of his mastership has the spirit
of insubordination shown itself to such a pitch, and the
parents seem to justify the assumption, by saying that,
'lf Sir Robert turned them out, Acland would take
them in '"

At first the writer seems disposed to connect the ex-

of the Rev. R. C. Savage's denial) with other " bad

Anti-Corn-law petitioning was the real occasion, is fully
proved by the subsequent portion of the paragraph.
The alleged " insolence of the parents is identified
with all the cases. And the expression, "If Sir Ro-
bert turned then: out," plainly, implies the threat which
constituted Mr. Acland s original charge. The

EVENING SUN.

.11E W BEER TRADE.

ene Seventh Annual General Meeting of the Sub-
scribers of the Metropolitan New Publican's Protection
Society, and others connected with the above trade, was
held yesterday at the London Mechanics' Institution,
for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Commit-
tee for the last leer ; to determine the manner in which
the sum voted for the Pension-fund should be appro-
priated ; and to elect officers for the ensuing year.
The Chair was taken by Mr. Penry at hall-past four
o'clock. He said, as it was their wish that he should
preside over them he would do so, and he would not
detain them longer than to say that he regretted that
the meeting was not more numerous, and that they had
not got a Chairman better qualified than himself. It
was a general meeting, and it was the duty of every
Member to attend it, as upon that occasion the Com-
mittee came before the members to justify their pro-
ceedings. He then ceded upon the Sserctery to read
the Report.
Mr. BISHOP read the Report. it recapitulated
the proceedings of last year respecting the Beer-law
Amendment Bill, by which the beersellers obt lined the
privilege of keeping open their shops to a I.ter hour,
and other important privileges, upon condition that the
qualification for a license should be raised to le/. in
London and other large towns, I I/. in other towns, and
Si. in what were called the rural districts. Scarcely
had the Act come into operation when a new reading
was put upon its clauses by the authorities of the Ex-
cise. The Committee, and those who conceded the
qualification, understood that the 15/., 11/., and 8/. re-
spectively, was to be the fair statue{ value of the house
and premises held by the applicant for a license, but the
Excise authorities considered and contended that it was
to be the rating value. Such a reading was never for
a moment contemplated by the Committee. The Ex-
cise ultimately referred the question to the law officers
of the Crown, and they were compelled to say that the
questions left to the law officers were fairly put. On
the 30th October, 1840, the Secretary was made ac-
quainted with the answer, and it was against the trade
—they were of opinion that the law made it imperative
upon the Excise to take tie rating value, and that the
overseers had no right to c:n;eler in any way the an-
nual value. As it was certain that the Excise would
act upon that opinioe, and as it would destroy at least
two-thirds of the existing houses, the Committee cone-
municated with tl.e Chancellor of the Exchequer. A
deputation bed an interview with the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman, the Chairman of the Excise being present.
They urged upon them the great detriment which such
a reading of the Act would prove to the public, to the
revenue, and to the beer trade, and that the clear un-
derstanding among all parties, while the Bill was going
through Parliament, was, that the value should he the
clear annual value of the house and premises, and not
the rating value. The Chancellor of tho Exchequer
had admitted that the literal carrying out of the Act
would be attended with some inconvenience and diffi-
culty, hot as to disturbing the law as it at present stood
he would not be a party to it. He advised them to
allow the law to take its course, in order that experience
might enable them to see how it would work, and to
suggest the proper remedies. The Committee were
consequently obliged to submit, but they complained
that good faith had not been kept with them. Another
question had arisen between the trade and the Excise.
Formerly when a beerseller let his house a license was
granted as a matter of course, but the Excise autho-
rities had latterly declared that the license would not
be granted until the name of his successor appeared on
the rate-book. In consequence of the remonstranees
addressed to them, however, they had subsequently come
to a different conclusion. The Report then referred
to the annual steam-boat excursion and dinner, wi ich
had contributed considerably to the funds of the So-
ciety. There bad been only ten informations against
the Society in the course of the year, and out of these
there had been but two convictions, in both of which
trifling penalties had been inflicted. The Report com-
plained of the want of co-operation on the part of the
country trade, and suggested the importance of unity,
energy, and perseverance in carrying out the objects of
the Society.
The statement of receipts and expenditure for the
past year, showing a sum of 280/. placed to the credit
of the pension fund, and 1201. for the use of the Society,
was then read by the Secretary.
Mr. ROLLING moved the adoption of the Report,
and Mr. S. Fenneee seconded it.
The question was put and agreed to unanimously
The SECRETARY thou ca!!ed the attention of the
meeting to the regulations which had been prepared by
the Committee for the apportionment of the widows
and orphans' fund. He would first read them for the
meeting, and then they would be put by the Chairman
serivtim. The Secretary then read the regulations as
follows :
" I. Agreeably to the 33d Rule, the widows or the
orphans of any benstller arc eligible to the benefits of
the pension fund : provided that, prior to his death, the
said beerseller was a member of the Society, and a
contributor for not leas then three successive years, to
its funds.
" 2. The amount payable to a widow, shall not, in
any case, exceed ten pounds ; to an orphan, five pounds;
but not more than ten pounds to any one family.
" 3. No application from, or on account of, a widow
f or orphans, will be received after the lapse of one year
from the death of the member, nor if at the time of his
death he was more than nine months in arrears.
"4. Upon application to the Secretary, A blank form
will (if al! arrears are previously paid up), be delivered
to the party applying ; which form is to be filled up
agreeably to the directions thereon ; and when signed,
and attested by the signatures and addresses of four
recommending subscribers (of whom not more than two
can be on the Committee), it is to be returned to the
Secretary, for the Committee.
" 5. Should the party applying be in a state requiring
immediate assistance, a statement to that effect should
accompany the application ; upan receipt of which the
Committee may, at their first ensuing monthly meeting,
vote such sum (not in any case exceeding 51.) as may
appear expedient.
" 6. No application received after the last day of
July,i n any year, can be included in the list to be sub-
mitted to the general meeting in the October follow-
ing ; but it will be entitled to be inserted in the first
list made out subsequently.
" 7. Prior to the annual general meeting in October,
a list shall be made out by the Secretary of the appli-
cants who have given the required notice ; and the
names and addresses of the same shall be sent, at least
seven days prior to the day on which the meeting is to
be held, to every member of the Society, accompanied
by or appended to a notice of the time and place of
meeting ; so that, should it be necessary to proceed to
a ballot, the list of applicants so sent may serve as a

in his letter. ThLt. little loophole we will first stop up
before leaving him to the shame he has earned. The
Post Correspondent says that the expulsions took place
" within the last Jew days." The clergyman tells his
patron that "no boy has been discharged from your
school for any cause whatever for many months.' Is
it possible that the expulsions might have been
prompted, decided upon, and carried into effect, in
the interval betwceo the two letters ? Credat Ju-
eccus ! for the clerg3man dates on Sunday, and the
Post Correa pondent on Tuesday. Supposing, there-
fore, that the Rev. R. C. Savage broke the Sab-
bath by posting his fetter to Sir Robert Peel, as
well as by writing falsehoods, only Monday is left
for the time deseribed as " the last few days," and the
" recently" of the whole work of expu!sion. And then
as expulsions ercn from charity schools are not usually
performed extempore, the clergyman must have known
that what he denied so peremptorily on Sunday was
about to be perpetrated on Monday, and that it must
become fact before his equivocating contradiction could
beaomo public.

And here we leave the parties in this contemptible
affair, from the highest of them to the lowest, to di-
vide amongst themselves, as best they may, their seve-
ral proportions of convicted disingenuousness. We
congratulate the parents of the expelled children ; for
contact with any of the set is moral pollution. Those
who may wish to know yet more of the thorough dirti-
ness and falsification to which the borough in question
is subjugated, we refer to an article from the last num-
ber of the Manchester Times, headed " The Tamworth
Petition."—Morning, Chronicle.

_.,
TREATMENT OF AN ABOLITION-
IST ON THE OHIO.
(From a Correspondent of the Neu, York Herald.)
It-having been my lot to witness, during my passage
down the Ohio river from Pittsburg to this place, an
incident of some interest, I beg leave to communicate
the same for the amusement of your readers.
In company with three others I embarked on board
a two-oared skiff on the sth instant, this, on account of
the extremely low state of the river, being the only
practicable means of getting down the Ohio to Cincin-
nati. And here let me remark, for the benefit of all
persons coming West, avoid the Pittsburg route, un-
less you are willing to be caught in a trap as easy of
access and difficult of escape as an eel-pot. We pushed
our way down the river, sometimes sticking on a sand-
bar, and again whirling through a " shoot ;" now up to
our middles in water hauling her off, then with trem-
bling hands clinging to the sides of our frail bark, ex-
pecting every moment to he served up for a meal to the
fishes of the Ohio. The first day we made eight miles,
stopping for the night in Olin township, Pennsylvania,
where we were financiercd by the landlord, and abused
by his Dutchman. Next day fetched Industry, thirty-
five miles from the town of Pittsburg, tho-
roughly tired, and heartily sick of skiffing it ; stopped
at a miserable tavern, and regaled ourselves with rusty
bacon aad musty bread. Third day came to Steuben-
ville, 75 miles from Pittsburg ; found a good house and
attentive landlord. It needed no one to inform us that
we had got out of Pennsylvania and into Ohio. Here
we encountered an individual for whose especial benefit
this letter is written. He was sitting in the bar-room
as we entered, and was quite ready to make our ac-
quaintance. After a little he signified a desire to ac-
company us on our voyage ; we consented, and it was
arranged that he should take passage with us on the
morrow. On retiring to my room the landlord informed
me that the individual whom we had selected as our
travelling companion, or rather who had pushed himself
upon us, was an itinerant abolition lecturer, who came
to the place to promulgate his doctrines, but having re-
ceived sundry intimations of equestrian exercises on a
rail, of a coat impervious to water, composed of tar and
loathers, and having been favoured with a significant
nod from Judge Lynch, he thought it expedient to put
out for other diggings. This was quite enough to de-
cide our course ; the fate of poor Tray stared us in the
face, and on the following mornirg we netiflel the
aforesaid individual that he couldn't go in our boat no
how. We pushed on, leaving him on the wharf boat
looking after us with wistful eyes.
During the day a small steamer, called the Two Pol-
lies, passed us, and who should we see standing by the
wheel-house but our abolition acquaintance. I wish I
had time and space to describa the Tsvo Ponies., but
" Paulo majora canainus."
Suffice it to say, she was all that is uncomfortable,
destitute of sleeping, Eating, or other conveniences;
built for running in six inches of water, charging an
exorbitant price, and crowded with passengers. Being
quite used up for ail practical boating we took " Hob-
son's choice," and got on her, towing our skiff astern.
We soon discovered that the abolitionist had been busy
in promulgating his doctrines, and that a storm was
brewing. At length he fell foul of a Kentuckian, and
' declared to him that he considered him no better than
a negro and avowed himself an abolitionist. Ken-
tuck's blood was up. " You an abolitionist! Let me
look at you. You arc the first of the varmint I ever
laid eyes on ! You can't go further on this boat, no
how." The rest of the passengers joined in the deter-
mination. We had now arrived at Wheeling, and
all voices were clamorously raised to set him ashore.
The matter was noised about on the shore that such
an animal was on the boat. Judge Lynch, surrounded
with his ready officials, stood on the bank in awful
majesty. The poor devil begged like a dog—" Oh, gen-
tlemen, don't ; I won't say another word during the
whole passage ; I'll stay anywhere—Pil sit in the skiff
—do let me stay." " No, by G—d," says Kentuck,
" ashore you must go." " Pitch him here," cried Judge
Lynch, " I'll adjudicate upon him." The Captain, a
very clever fellow, although commanding a poor apology
for a boat, hesitated what to do, when a voice from
above decided the matter. It was that of Tom Hamil-
ton, the pilot standing at the wheel, a regular rip stayer,
who can whip his weight in wild cats and eat them for
bre tklast. With extended arm, and flashing eye, he
roared forth—" I've taken a solemn oath never to turn
a wheel an inch on a boat that carries an abolitionist,
and by h—ll and scissors I'll stick to it." The poor
wretches jaws fell—

" Obstupuit, steteruntque coma, et vox faucibus h:psit;"
the sweat started in big drops from his ashen brow, he
felt his doom had come.
But a voice of mercy from sweet woman's lips came
forth for his salvation, and instead of landing him on the
Virginia shore, he and his plunder were deposited on the
Ohio bank, and as the boat proceeded on her course
Mr. Weller (for that is his name) stood gazing on our
track, a striking example that " the way of the trans•
gressor is hard." lam pushing my way for the furthest
west, and should this find favour in your eyes you will
hear from me again.
