LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1935.

Lord BROUGHAM brought forward the subject of
National Education last night in the House of Lords,
in a speech marked by all the spirit and earnestness of
his earlier days. On no occasion did he ever press
into his service a more irresistible body of argument.
There was little or nothing of theory in his observa-
tions ; he stood upon the broad, firm ground of fact ;
and disposed of the objections of those who pretend—
for there are still such sophists to be found among our
legislators—that crime is commensurate with educa-
tion, by references to data, drawn from a variety of
sources, which place the question beyond the reach of
further cavil. Perhaps the most important, certainly
the most curious, parts of his Lordship's speech, were
his allusions to the inquisitive character of infancy,
from which he inferred the necessity of establishing in-
fant schools. " That man," said the Noble and
Learned Lord, " had only half learnt his lesson, whose
experience had mot taught him that a child was much
more capable of learning before, than after, six years
of age. His faculties were more acute—his attention
was more lively—his memory more retentive—and his
habits less decided than they were, after that age. A
child under six years of age is neither listless
tror idle—neither indolent nor vicious, but is by
nature an active, inquiring, curious, and learning
little animal. From two years of age a child was in
a state of constant learning ; and so strong, so perse-
vering, so irrepressible was the curiosity which pre-
dominated in his mind from two till six years of age,
that he would venture to say that he learnt more dur-
ing those four years, even when he did not go to
school, and more of what was useful to him in after
life, than he did in all the after part of his progress,
though he might live to' be a philosopher of eighty.
We were so accustomed to the use of the knowledge
acquired at that period of our lives, that we were apt
to forget its vast amount—that it, in fact, compre-
hended our acquaintance with all the objects of ex-
ternal sense." His Lordship added, in corroboration
of the truth of these remarks, that wherever infant
:ehools had been established, whether in England or
on the Continent, they had necessarily been attended
with the happiest results. On this point no
man's authority deserves more respectful consideration
than Lord BROUGHAM'S. His whole life has been
devoted to the subject. Since he first commenced his
jabours in the cause of education, an entire generation
has sprung up, no small portion of which has been
enlightened, solely by the means which he placed at
their disposal. It was not the old age, but the man-
flood, of England that wrested the Reform Bill from
rt reluctant Oligarchy—the intelligent, middling classes,
and those immediately beneath them, of our great
manufacturing districts—and these grew up, as it
were, under the fostering superintendence of Lord
BROUGLIANI ; who provided for them, when young,
that sound, practical education, which, now that they
are in the full vigour of life, they have turned, and
are daily turning, to such admirable account. All
the swords that were drawn at Waterloo, would
never have given us the Reform Bill. It was the
::hoolmaster's primer—and that only—which achieved
the victory. But though education has done
much, more yet remains to be done. As yet
the battle is only half fought. Captain Sword still
lagers in the field, and so long as this is the case,
Captain Pen must keep, night and day, on the alert.
Never ineleed was a question more immediately press-
ing than that of education. Bigotry—under her
new plausible appellation of Conservatism—is hourly
endeavouring to rally her scattered forces ; and can
,enly be counteracted by corresponding exertions on the
part of the schoolmaster. Wee a general system of
education once firmly established, not a day would
lass, but its advantages would be felt. Ignorance is
not merely the curse of the individual—it is the one
great demoralizer of the nation. Hence priestcraft has
its rise ; hence despotisms are built up ; hence
monopolies and exactions of all sorts originate.
But once educate the people, and you place freedom
air a vantage-ground, from which she can never after
be removed. Not a page of history but enforces this
great social truth. We see it in the early wars
4)f old Rome ; it is inscribed, in characters of
Mood, in the annals of the York and Lan-
caster factions ; it is the only serviceable lesson
Iv, draw from the records of the feudal system—that
monstrous system, whose sole prop and buttress was
the ignorance of the nations whom it ground to atoms
beneath its tread. Perhaps a more signal example of
the ruinous effects of the want of education among the

people, as never exhibited than during the reigns of
CITA RLES V. and FRANCIS I.; where we find,
year after year, all Europe convulsed to its centre,
for no nobler purpose than to gratify the per..
sonal jealousies of two individuals ! As for
the millions who constituted the people in those
days, history wholly loses sight of them ; they had
actually DO existence, but were mere slaves, to swell the
train, and echo the sentiments, of two as vulgar,
though showy, tyrants as ever cursed a kingdom
with their sway. Thanks to the enlightenment of the
present day, such despotisms can never again raise
their head among us. Nevertheless, it is still as much
our duty as ever, to help forward, by all means in
our power, the great cause of education ; for not to
advance, is to retrogade—nay worse, it is to undo
much of what we have already done.

The formation of the REFORM ASSOCIATION
which we announced yesterday, will, we are sure,
be hailed with the greatest pleasure by every well-
wisher to the great cause of national regeneration.
The enemies of the people, and of every measure that
has the benefit of the people for its object, have, in
this case, deprived themselves of the advantage
of the argument which they craftily employed against
the Political Unions—namely, that such Unions tended
to promote agitation. They have themselves here set
the example. Instructed by the success which attended
their unprincipled attempts to corrupt the elec-
tors at the last general election, they now see that
a good deal may be accomplished by indefa-
tigable exertion. They have, therefore, organized
anti-reform Associations all over the Kingdom ; the ob-
jects of which are to inculcate their mischievious
principles, and to get the names of their par-
tizans entered on the register. They are evi-
dently contemplating a dissolution, and as surely
as they succeed in their registration scheme,
so surely will they dissolve the present House of Com-
mons. The Reformers must therefore, in self-defence,
organize Reform Associations in order to be prepared
for the conflict. The present Association has now
started into existence under the happiest auspices, and
we are sure we shall not be considered sanguine, if,
looking to the importance of the object in view, we
anticipate the establishment of a branch Association in
every parish in the kingdom, before another month
passes over our heads.

The case of Mr. CHILDS will this day be sub-
mitted to the consideration of the House of Commons,
when it will be seen how the representatives of the
people will deal with so flagrant an instance of oppres-
sion. That any punishment, such as the perpetrators
of this enormity are capable of feeling—any punish-
ment beyond the execration of every human being en-
dowed with right feeling, can be inflicted on them
is, we fear, not to be expected. What they have done,
they have done under the colour and protection of
law. The axe must, therefore, be laid at the root of
the tree of evil. The law which can thus be con-
verted into an instrument of torture, for the gratifica-
tion of private revenge, must be forthwith repealed, and
the possibility of such outrages prevented for the future.
The public will judge from the tone of the debate
whether it will be more expedient to wait for the formal
abolition of the obnoxious impost levied under the
name of the Church-rate, or to adopt the plan which
the Irish have found so successful in ridding them-
selves of tithes. If this insufferable grievance be not
redressed the one way, it most assuredly will the other.
We trust, therefore, that his MAJESTY'S Ministers
will give an explicit assurance, that it is their intention
to lay before the Legislature a measure for the total
annihilation of. this persecuting tax. Nothing
short of this will be satisfactory to the people.
Any attempt to disguise the nature 9f the thing
by making it a burden on the land tax, or any
other branch of the national revenue, will be
deservedly scouted as the grossest of imposi-
tions. It is not the amount of the payment, but the
principle involved in it, which is so objectionable—
and which is objected to, be it observed, not by
the Dissenters alone, but by all Churchmen whose
minds have a tincture of liberality. The state of
Ireland shows the impossibility of levying a tax upon
a people who are resolved not to pay it. Let us
then take warning by the example. Let Church-rates
be abrogated by the Legislature, before the people arc
driven to the dangerous experiment of proving to their
rulers that there is another mode of relief. That
things are tending fast to such an issue, the occur-
rences at Bungay are not the only symptoms. Pro-
ceedings are now taking place at Manchester which
are likely to convince the people of that opulent city,
whether passive resistance be, or be not, an effectual
remedy against an unjust and oppressive impost.
Several seizures of goods have been made within the
last week for non-payment of Church-rate. From
Mr. S. FARRAR, goods to the value of upwards of
four pounds have been taken for a Church-rate of
seventeen pence, and from Mr. J. FARRAR, to nearly
the same value for a rate of eighteen pence. The
goods were seized in the warehouses in Manchester—
the rates were due in Prestwich. They were sold at
an auction-room, bought in by the public, and car-
ried in triumph to the owners' warehouses amid the
shouts of the populace, and the bitterest execra-
tions vented against the Church authorities.
In another case, a horse and harness, worth fifty
pounds, have been seized for a Church-rate of one
shilling from a person of the name of BUCKLEY,
although property of less value, and amply sufficient
to answer the demand, was offered by him—a cir-
cumstance which, we should think, invalidates the
seizure—Mr. BUCKLEY has been put to great loss by
this wanton act of cruelty, which has created no small
sensation in the town. Hand-bills—(one of which
has been sent to us, and is inserted in another co-
lumn)—have been circulated, calling upon the people
to attend the sale, and show their sense of such tyran-
nical proceedings. When will this infatuation end I"

The whole of the Paris papers of Wednesday have
been received. They contain a report of the tenth
sitting of the Court of Peers, in which the question
of the competency of their Lordships to sit in judgment
on the discontented artizans of France, was formally
introduced and argued by M. DESAUBIEREZ and M
MARTIN (du NoRD), the Procureur-General, the
former against, and the latter in support of the com-
petency of the Court. Immediately after the formali-
ties for opening the Court had been gone through, the
Procureur-General informed their Lordships that he
had issued instructions to the whole of the accused,
apprising them of the intention of the Court to
hear any arguments against its competency which
they had to offer, before it proceeded with the evi-
dence ; and that the answer he received from the
whole of the prisoners, who had previously refused to
hear the Act of Accusation read, with one indvidual
exception, •was, that they would never again attend
the Court unless they wete overpowered, and dragged
into it by force. This was a degree of violence which
he (the Procureur-General) did not think it neces-
sary to have recourse to ; inasmuch as the obstinacy
of the accused would in no way whatever interfere
with the judgment of their Lordships, who, if com-
petent under any combination of circumstances,
to try the conspirators, were equally so to pronounce
judgment upon them in their absence, when such ab-
sence was an act of mere volition on the part of the
accused. The Court having put the question, whe-
