pieces taken off. The Banshee will be taken out of
dock to-morrow to have two of her boilers taken out,
having at present four. She will be tried down the
river at the measured mile in Se% Reach to ascertain
her speed with two boilers, and if found satisfactory,
she is to be sent to the Mediterranean station to serve
as a snail packet.

OCTOBER CIRCULAR, 1850.
We would remind the public that all TEA, bad or good, the
best or the most worthless, pays an uniform duty of 2s. 2M d. per lb.,
and is necessarily übject to equal charges for freight, porterage,
wharfage, dock dues, &c., consequently the commonest is much
heavier taxed, in proportion to its real or marketable value, than
either the medium or the finest class Teas. Thus, common Congou
costs in Canton only 7d. to Bd. per lb., but before it reaches the
English consumer it pays in duty and charges no less than 400 per
cent. ; . the medium class Tea, which costs 12d. to 15d. per lb., aver-
!ages in duty and charges not more than 200 par cent. ; whilst the
finest class Teas, which cost in China four times the price of the
commoner, pay no more than 100 per cent. It must be apparent
tha•, whit a fixed charge of 2s. fid. per lb. upon all 'Fes, mere price
alone is DO criterion of either good value or cheapness ; and we cope-
cielly direct the attention of those who are solicitous to economise
their expenditure that they voluntarily tax themselves double or
quadruple what they have any necessity for doing by purchasing
inferior Teas.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
TIIE FRENCH FLEET.—We announced yesterday
the departure of the French fleet from Torbay, at
four, r.m., Tuesday. On that day the French ad-
miral's ship was boarded by Lieutenant Westbrook,
in command of the revenue-cruiser Stag. On Wed-
nesday they passed close to Salcombe harbour, stand-
ing to the eastward, and at four, p.m., put back into
Torbay, and anchored, the wind being westerly.
Captain Chads C.B , returned to his duties at
Portsmouth from leave, on Wednesday, coming up
from Plymouth in the Sprightly,
Dr. Henry F. Williams, M.D., late of the Royal
Navy, has (since he resigned his employment in the
Ajax steam-guard ship, at Queenstown) received a
very lucrative and. honourable appointment at Calcutta.
Carndoc, late Holyhead, packet-steamer, was tried
on Wednesday (having.previously taken on board 16
tons of coal), along the measured mile in Stokes Bay,
to test her speed, to see what difference there would
be in working her engines with one boiler instead of
,two. The two boilers now occupying nearly all her
stowage, in her present state, she can only carry a
little more than one day's consumption of. coal; by re-
moving one boiler she would carry six days' supply.
She was tried on Wednesday, using both boilers,
when she made a mean speed of 13 nautical miles and
one-tenth. By using the steam of one boiler only,
she made 11 two-tenth miles—the latter speed being
very fast, and much superior to any of the English
steam-packets now in the Mediterranean. Captain
Henderson and Mr. Brunette, of the firm of Seaward
and Company, went out in her. She did not return
into harbour till after five o'clock.
Diligence, store-ship, Master Commander Mitchell,
went into Portsmouth Harbour yesterday morning,
to discharge her stores and invalid convicts.
Hogue, 60, screw-ship, Captain Macdougal, got
up steam yesterday morning, and went into Ports-
mouth Harbour yesterday morning at eight o'clock.
She went alongside the Blake, hulk, and will pro-
bably go into dock in a day or two.
Wasp, 12, screw-sloop, Commander Crozier, has
some trifling defects, which will detain her a day or
so at Portsmouth, when she will proceed to Plymouth,
to take out the coast mail on the sth proximo.
PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY.—Her Majesty's frigate
Cambrian, 40, Commodore James H. Plumridge, ar-
rived yesterday morning. Left Trincomalee on the
29th of July, arrived at Mauritius on the 18th of
August and left on the 19th, touched at St. Helena
on the 17th of September, and at Ascension on
the 22d.
Her Majesty's sloop Orestes, Commander Henry S.
Hawker, was at the Mauritius ; Commodore Christo-
pher Wyvill, in the Castor, 36, was in the Mozam.

Pelican, 95 days from Calcutta, bound to Liverpool,
in lat. 14 50 N., long. 26 30 W. ; on the same day
spoke the Dutch barque Rembrandt ; on the sth of
Oct., spoke the Ann Bedwin, two days from Cape
Verde, in lat. 14 50 N., long. 26 30.
Like the Mariner, which arrived here on Tuesday,
the Cambrian had north-west winds in the parallel
of the north east trades, and in consequence made a
very unusual home passage to the east of the Western
Islands.

Mr. HENRY, M.P., said that in consenting, at the
request of the committee of the Lancashire Public
School Association, to take the chair on the present

important occasion, he had to express his regret that
the office had not been confided to abler and more ex-

. _
pow( .lul enemy.—(Applause.)
Mr. Pnthrars, from Huddersfield, approved of
giving the society a national character.
Mr. J. JENKINS, delegate from Swansea, expressed
his concurrence in the resolution.

Mr. H. GASsBLL expressed himself to the same
effect, as did Mr. FOSTER, of Leeds.
Mr. COBDEN said he did not intend to make a
speech on the subject of national education on this oc-
casion, but only to touch on one or two points. First,
he bad no hidden motive in proposing to substitute
the word " public" for " secular" in the resolution.
All he wished was to avoid the appearance of hostility
to religious instruction. It had been suggested that
he should propose the question in the House of Com-
mons ; but that would be interfering with Mr. Fox,
who had already taken up the subject. When that
gentleman proposed his plan last year. he was listened
to so patiently that be (Mr. Cobden) began to think
his Bill would be carried. When, however, the mea-
sure came on fur the second reading it was met with
a burst of exclamations about irreligion and infidels
which was perfectly astounding. That was frequently
the way in which persons were met in the House of
Commons. No one now said we could have too much
education ; but that was once said. As to those who
contended we were en educated people, he would not
argue with them. Examine an agricultural labourer,
and he would not know the name of the next parish
but one. The present educational system was avow-
edly defective, and that now proposed for adoption
was the only one on which great numbers were
likely to be brought to agree. He hoped that the
Dissenters who stood by the voluntary principle
would soon see the necessity of joining them. Volun-
taryism in religion he approved of, but voluntaryism
in education was indefensible. He wanted to rate the
property in the dark agricultural districts for the pur-
poses of education. In by far the great majority of
cases the landed proprietors in parishes were absentees.
He wanted to tax their property.—(Applause.) The
proprietor* would never educate the people volun-
tarily. Talk not of the burden oh tar for education.
If we had schools in every parish we should want _
fewer gaols and barracks. It was disgraceful that a
network of military establishments should be spread
over the country because we were afraid of the dense
mass of ignorance prevailing in it. A rate for edu-
cation would be a profitable outlay. This was not a
party question, and probably would not be made
one. It rested on common sense and justice, and he
hoped there would be found men to carry out the
great object. He looked to the young men for this.
It was they who must maintain rivalry in the coming
time with the world, and 'especially with the young
giant of the west—America. Men were wanted to
canvas for money—that was the best way of obtaining
your object. A man required to be convinced before
he parted with his money, and when he did that be
became one of the most zealous of proselytes, and was
always seeking to procure other converts. In con-
clusion, he promised that whilst he had health and
strength he would devote his best energies to the fur-
therance of this great object.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BARKER, of Leeds, gave his definition of se-
cular education, and thought that some declaration of
the opinion of the meeting on that point ought to be
given.
After some further controversy it was proposed

perienced hands. He had called the meeting an im-
portant one, and he had no doubt they would agree
with him in considering it peculiarly so, whether they
looked at the astonishing progress which the Lanca-
shire plan of education had made in the public mind
since it was first proposed, about three years ago—to
the encouragement which had thereby been given to
continued and increased efforts—or to the cheering
hope which it held out that the advent of a recogni-
tion by the Legislature of a national system of secular
instruction, maintained by local rates, and under the
management of local authorities, elected by the rate-
payers, was not so distant as some of its friends might
imagine.—(Cheers.) After briefly describing the
objects of the meeting, the Chairman said,—lt was
thought that, by those changes, and by availing
themselves of the advantages of that strength which
lay in union, the great object of establishing a na-
tional system of education, in which all persons might
unite, would be more readily effected, that the prin-
ciples which they advocated were founded in com-
mon sense, and in a sincere regard for the improve-
ment of the social, moral, and religious condition of
the people.
Mr. SAMUEL LUCAS, of London, stated that the
Lancashire Secular Education Society arose in the
autumn of 1847, and was formed by some gentlemen
who objected to the minutes of the Council of Edu-
cation, then just published, and wished to agree
upon a plan of education which should be open to
all, irrespective of creed and class. These gentlemen
were of opinion that the people who paid for the
support of the schools should locally control them,
and, whilst they admitted that a central authority
was requisite to regulate the schools, they contended
that this authority should be elected. A scheme
based on these principles was propounded in July,
1847, and the first public meeting i❑ its support was
held in Manchester in January, 1848. Again, in
March, 1849, another public meeting was called iti
Manchester to ascertain whether the plan had the
support of the public. On that occasion the decision
was against the scheme, because the Church party
exerted itself to obtain the attindance of its friends at
the meeting. That defeat, however, only stimulated
the friends of secular education to fresh exer-
tions, and one of the results of those exertions was
the present meeting. Some friends of secular educa-
tion wished the question to be left to voluntary exer-
tions ; hut to prove the inadequacy of that resource it
was only neceAsary to state that the provision for
education in Manchester was less now than in 1835.
In 1835, when the population of Manchester was
200,000, the number of children under education was
20,000 ; now, with a population cf 300,000, the num-
ber of children under education was only 25,000. On
the 12th of December, 1849, a conference took place
in Manch( ster, which was well attended, but not so
numerously as the present. At the beginning of the
year the committee of the society thought the time
had arrived when the public feeling in Manchester
should be again tested on the subject of secular
education. Accordingly a public meeting was held
in the Town-hall on the 28th of March last, and on
that occasion a triumphant majority declared in
favour of the plan. Subsequently a petition signed
by 6,000 inhabitants of Manchester, in support of the
scheme, was sent to the House of Commons. The
feeling in favour of the plan continued to spread, and
the Manchester committee received letters from dif-
ferent parts of the country expressing a desire that
the local should be converted into a national move-
ment. In consequence of the receipt of those com-
munications delegates had been summoned from
various parts of the country to declare whether the
localities which they represented would contribute their
share of labour and money to the promotion of the
cause, for on those terms alone the Manchester men
would consent to convert their local association into a
national one.
Mr. A. WATKIN, after declaring that Mr. Lucas
was the parent of the scheme which they had assem-
bled to promote, moved the following resolution:—
That the Lancashire Public School Association be

resolved into a society to be called the National Secular

school A3sociation,' for the establishment by law, in
England and Wales, of a general system of secular in-
struction, to be maintained by local rates, and under the
management of local authorities specially elected by the
ratepayers."
Mr. Alderman WESTON, deputy from Birmingham,
seconded the resolution, and expressed an opinion
that the people of Birmingham would support a
scheme of national secular education on the principles
laid down by Mr. Lucas.
Mr. ConnaN saw no reason why the original name
of the association should be changed. The society
was first called the " Lancashire Public School So-
ciety ;" it was now proposed to call it the " National
Secular School Association." Ile knew that all that
was intended was to imply that there was nothing sec-
tarian in the scheme ; but the word " secular" meant
something more than unsectarian. He had sent for
" Johnson's Dictionary "—(A laugh)—and found
" secular" explained as meaning " not spiritual, re-
lating to the affairs of the present world, not holy,"
worldly. Now, he thought the association was not
unspiritual. It did not deserve the name of " irreli-
gious." The society sought to remove ignorance,
which was the parent of vice, and therefore it would
promote religion in its widest form. It would be un-
wise to give their opponents an opportunity of saying
that their scheme was not religious, and therefore he
suggested that the society should call itself the " Na-
tional Public School Association."
Several members of the committee expressed their
willingness to adopt Mr. Cobden's suggestion.
Mr. J. B. SmtTrt, M.P., said it would be necessary
also to substitute the word " unsectarian" for " secu-
lar," in the body of the resolution.
Mr. HoLvoKE protested against their being bound by
Dr. Johnson's obsolete definitions.—(A laugh.) For
his part, he liked the word " secular" better than that
of " unsectarian," the meaning of which it was diffi-
cult to define.
The Rev. Mr. M'KERRow hoped that the discussion
on this point would be postponed until the course of
proceeding marked out by the committee bad been
followed out.
Mr. R. Solly, delegate from Sheffield, and Messrs.
Barker and Heaton, delegates from Leeds, pronounced
in favour of the plan, but declared they had no autho-
rity to state what amount of money their representa-
tives would provide for carrying out the desired
object.
The Rev. Mr. BACON (Independent), of Newhaven,
Connecticut, said that the common school system
of New England was identical with that which the
present association sought to establish.
The Rev. R. Titoar, Rector of Burton Orery, near
Leicester, said it was evident that the last speaker
had been educated in the common schools of America,
and the result had been the acquisition on his part of
much common sense; he hoped that Mr. Cobden
would apply his practical sense to carry this queston
through the House of Commons.—(Applause.) The
principles which the association wished to establish
were secular education, local funds, and local manage-
ment. OF those principles he approved, and if they
were good for Lancashire, they were good for his
county, Leicester. As a delegate from the town of
Leicester, he could promise that the people there
would cordially co-operate with the Lancashire com-
mittee. Dr. Noak, of Leeds, was the Unit person
