TDB. RIGBT HON. W. E. GLADSTONE.

Yesterday seventeen years had passed since the
foundation of the Liverpool Collegiate Institution
was laid, and 14 years had elapsed since the open-
ing of the schools. The Rev. Mr. Howson, the
highly gifted and much respected Principal, availed
himself of the opportunity to follow the examp net
the great public schools of the country, and a
day apart as a "Founders' day." At half-past 11
the whole of the boys from the three schools met
the governors and several of the founders in the
great hall. Among those present on the platform
were--the Right lion. W. E. Gladstone, M.P.,
Mr. Brwn, M.P. ; Revs. D. M`Neile, A.rclidea-
con Jones, D. Hirsch, Cowan, Anderson, Dr.
33:glee, Principal, H. P. Linton (Divinity Lec-
turer), and H. G-. Vernon (chaplain of St. Aidan's
College), H. Jones, Barry, John Stewart Apple-
ton, Lawrence, Denny, and Dr. Hillcoat ' • Alder-
man Cooper, My., M. Gregeon, Mr. Josias Booker,
the Rev. C. W. Underwood, of the upper school ;
Rev. J. Cox, head master of the middle school ;
and Mr. J. Michod, head master of the lower
school ; also the studonts of St. Aidan's College, cf
which institution the 11ev. J. S. Howson is one of
the council. _ _ _

The Rev. Mr. HOWSON (Principal) took the chair,
and, after a hymn had boeu sung, addressed the
meeting.
Mr. GLADSTONE, on rising,. was received with
loud cheers. He said,—Mr. Principal and gentle-
men, and—l scarcely know how to address you,
the principal portion of my audience ; I cannot call
you fellow-townsmen, for you are not Liverpool
men yet, and lam hardly a Liverpool man ; but I
Was what you now are—a Liverpool boy, and
therefore, if you will allow me, I will call you fel-
lo w-townboys. And I assure you cordially that
that name is no more than a faithful and significant
sign of the interest that I earnestly feel in your wel-
fare, and of the satisfaction and pleasure which it gives
me to come among you, and to witness the results of
the devoted labours of those who are employed in
giving you instruction. (Loud cheers.) I have but

little to say to you, for the limitation of my own time
is in point of fact, your surest security that I should
not unduly trespass on your patience. till.ut my first
duty is to congratulate you, sir, on what we have
seen here to-day. There is no situation more hon-
ourable—nose more arduous than such a situation
as you fill, and none, I will confidently say, which
gives to those who perform it a stronger claim upon
the sympathy and support of the community ; be-
cause, although your labours are not unrewarded
substantially, yet they are labours which severely

-task the ener'gie,s both of mind and body, and their
are labours of which the reward, substantial as it is,

is one little appreciated by vulgar minds. I trust,
sir, you will always continue to receive that which,
after the favour of the Almighty and the approval
of your own conscience, which I have no doubt you
most value in heart—the reward of a future distinc-
tion—but above all, the gratitude and affection of
your boys. And certain I am, from the sight 1 have
seen, that the relation which subsists between them
and their teachers is not founded on those vulgar
and false ideas which schools of a certain fashion
one.: brought, unhappily into vogue' ; but they are
the relation of paternal care and love and confi-
dence of the admiration and affection of the boys.
(Chearree You have reminded us to-day, sir, of the
youthfulness of this institution. I think you said
the schools were opened in 1843—that is to say,
they are 14 years old, or, in other words, I believe
they have come to the years of discretion ; and if
what I have seen to-day be the result which they
have produced in the early state of their minority,
they are such as, I think, augur well for the future.
(0 eers.) It is true, undoubtedly, that you have
but little of the stores of classical lore in which
the universities abound ; but you have, I hope,
in your Principal a representative of the great
institution to which he belongs, and he has,
I trust, before him a long career of constantly in-
creasing and accumulating honour, ripe manhood,
answerable to the vigorous youth of the college over
which you have presided, and then a green old age,
such as is the happy lot of rainy similarly engaged
in this favoure 1 country—the green old age of
which it is the double characteristic to have attained
to full maturity of wisdom, but to have lost no-
thing of primitive and original vigour. Now, sir,
am ashamed to venture even a single remark on
the subject of education, which you have handled
s) ably and so widely in the discourse we have heard
from you. But one word I will venture to say,
fur it is no more than just to you, considering I
have taken the liberty of coming among you to-
day. I do not enter into the question which you
have opened—that most important question be-
tween what is called the public-school system of ,
England and the schools conducted upon the basis
of this great institution, which do not, as a general
rule, imply the necessity of the removal of boys
Loin under the parental roof ; but I think we can
all feel that the differences of the institutions are
alinirably suited to the differences in character,
and that both the schools that are founded on
what you term the public-school system, and like-
wise the college of the nature of that over which
you preside, may find ample and abundant scope
in educating the youth of England, may each of
them by its own proper functions satisfy a want
which it would impossible for either of them to
satisfy if they steol alone. I have no doule', sir,
that you borrow largely from those ancient and
venerable institutions the sacred fire, if so I might
call it, that has so long burnt upon your altars ;
nor have I any more doubt, on the other side, that
those institutions have much to learn from you,
and that they likewise will learn it ; that, through
the medium of your career and experience in an
inslitutioia like this, they will practically and ex-
perimentally learn the nature and direction of the
changes and extensions that they must make in
their system, aid how and when to apply those
changes. And if it be the characteristic of change
in the educational establishments of this country
that it is ordinarily slow, yet we are fully entitled,
on the other hand, to say that it has been almost in-
variably sure and safe, and that the best of that sure-
loss and saftty is that we never perceive a disposition
to recede from that ground whichhas once been made
no unwise and hasty adaptation of experiments an
at andonnsent of which, after theyhave been adopted,
would entirely shake the confidence of the youth of
this c,,untry in their teachers in the institutions
where they are receiving their education. I greatly
rejoice to think of the manner in which, in the
sceools of this country, the union of an ancient
classical training with those important accomplish-
ments which are demanded by the specific events of
the age, and by the various classes of the comenu-
n ty, is carried out. I cordially rejoice that the
disposition to adopt these extensions is now felt—
and I will venture to speak more confidently of the
institutions with which I have the honour of being
most intimately connected—in the University of
Oxford, and I believe also in the University of Cam-
bridge, and they will, with no reluctant and no lag-
gard hand, be found co-operating with you, arid
lending you all that is within their power of sup-
port and assistance; viewing you, not as antago-
nists, not as rivals, but as co-operators and friends
in the great work in which you are so well engaged.
And from what we hive seen and heard to-day I
in convinced, if I needed to be convinced, that the
mode of teaching here pursued is not pursued as an
ohjecb of ambition to the master—not as a mere
m ,ans of making daily bread—not with the mere
v ew of attaining temporary popularity, but under
the deep conviction that life is a serious and earnest
matter ; that the daily duties to be done by us all,
by you who aro growing up, as well as by us en-
eaged in its labour and its battle—that those daily
&vies are matters of record before the et, rnal
throne ; and that, as it is, there is nothing more
miserable than the destruction of a human soul
and its depravation ; and that, on the other hand,
DO: hing in the existence of man is more glorious
than the training and developing of the human
oul in all its powers and capacities to answer
the purpose for which the Almighty has sent
ni into the world. (Cheers.) Now, sir, I re-
joke to think that this institatiln w;11 be, as
I believe it is, an important moans of strength-
ening the connexion between Liverpool and the
ancient universities of the country. I never visit—
': frankly own, I never visit this great seat of enter-
ran and commerce without deeply wishing that
that connexion gould be strenethened and extended,
for if it could, itwould be for the 'benefit of both
parti( a. Then

I think an impartial of server will see that those

I say, it is an honour, and an ornament, and a
benefit to Liverpool that by the energies of her own
citizens has been founded an institution like this,
which tends to place the flower of her youth in
schools in more vital connection with those
ancient Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

THE INDIAN MUTINEERS.

(From. the Times.)
We hear that the Calcutta Government com-
plains of the English publio feeling in Calcutta as
savage and vindictive, as absorbed in a blind and
undiscriminating exasperation, as resolving itself
into the mere hatred of a dark skin, into a pure
unreasoning antipathy to the Hindoo. This, it is
said, is very wrong, and not only wrong but foolish
and impolitic. As a matter of fact, the natives
do not, as a general rule, dislike us or wish ill to
us ; many of them have in the very thick of these
outrages, rescued Englishmen. It is unjust
and ungrateful, then, to speak of all Hindoos
as rebels and traitors, but it is impolitic also. Wa
want the services of the natives ; we cannot do
without them. Whatever modification our Govern-
ment and army may undergo there, the natives are
necessary to us. The official link which connects
the English Government with the people of India
must be, to a great extent, of native material.
Who is to undertake all the subordinate magistra-
cies and collectorships ? Who is to do the servile
work in campaigns, to say nothing of strictly
military service ? It is obvious that the English
will sink under such labours. How will even the
merchant and indigo planter buy or sell without
the medium of the Banian, or the Gomashta, or the
Dewan ?
Now, if this is Anglo-Indian public feeling in
the Peninsula, all we can say is, that so far from
sympathising with it, we would heartily join the
Calcutta Government in modifying it. If this is a
true representation of it Calcutta public feeling is
very different from public feelingat home. There is
this great difference, —that public opinion here has
always made the distinction between a mutiny and
a rebellion, between the soldier and the ordinary
native. We ourselves have all along expressly
maintained that this has been a military revolt, not
a national one. Here there has been no feeling
against the Hindoo as such. We do not say this
as any matter of moral triumph over our country-
men in the Peninsula. We can easily understand
the sort of things that people say on the spot from
sheer disgust, horror, melancholy, and temporary
despair. Events strike much more strongly on
the spot. These Anglo-Indian expressions of feel-
ing are probably rather a vent to outraged hu-
manity, just as ejaculations are to bodily pain,
rather than deliberate statements. The first idea
which an earthquake inspires is to distrust the
very solid globe itself ; when the earth has once
given way under one's feet, one feels as if one could
never rely upon it again • the very beauty of
nature appears so much treachery, and under every
smiling cornfield and glowing vineyard we suspect
a latent volcano. Persons who have been travel-
ling in a train when an accident has happened, even
though they have escaped hurt themselves, have felt
a certain giving way of an inward railway faith, as
if they could never travel again with exactly the
same sense of security with which they travelled
before. The English in India have naturally some
of this feeling. The Peninsula was, to all appear-
ance, quiet, prosperous, satisfied. English influ-
ence and English law were gaining ground every
day, and the rule of a hundred years seemed to
leave produced as its results an established obedience
and a natural loyalty, when the volcano burst, and
the sepoy mutiny disclosed rebellion, barbarity, and,

feel his faith in the Hindoo shaken to its basis, and
that he should say to himself, " Well; it's of no the;
we have given them a good Government now for a
century, and this is the result." There is no won-
der that he should for a moment despair, and that
despair should speak in accents of indignation. The
truth is that this sort of language expresses all sorts
of feelings. Its uppermost expressions are those of
burning resentment, but this very language of re-
sentment is the vent at the same time to gloom and
despondency. We do not lay claim, then, to any
moral triumph over Anglo-Indian public feeling,
but we must at the same time call attention to this
distinction between public feeling in the peninsula
and at ltbme—viz., that we have never been bitter
against the mere native. We have from the first
stigmatised the outbreak as a military one—an ex-
periment of wanton ambition, the offspring of all
those motives which produce military revolts—ra-
pacity, insolence, ferocity, and passion. But we
have let off the native population at large, t,4)
easily some have said, who interpreted our consi-
deration for the Hindoo as a mask and a disguise,
which we wished to throw over the Indian outbreak
itself, to conceal its importance and its depth.
But, though we would caution our countrymen
in India against an indiscriminating exasperation,
which would involve mutineer and ordinary native
in the same guilt, we do not go along with the
Calcutta Government in its absurd attempts to
hamper the military commanders in the execution
of justice upon the mutineer. It is very easy for
half-a-dozen civilians iu a room to draw up
a set of instructions, no single one of which
will be open to objection, and yet the general
effect of which will ba to hamper military ju,-
tice. To issue such a set of instructions, having
avowedly fur their object the mitigation and dimi-
nution of punishment, is at any rate to tell our
Brigadiers beforehand that we suspect them ; that
we think them savage, bard, unfeeling men, who,
if left to themselves, will massacre everybody they
meet, and overrun the whole country with fire and
sword. Fancy au Engli-h General, who has had
the example of brave, noble, and benevolent chiefs
of the service before his eyes ever since his boyhood,
being told exactly how he is to proceed, and cau-
tioned at every step against punishing innocent
men. "Do not kill everybody you see ;if a man
has simply fed turkeys, or carved satinwood, or
ornamental slippers, or broidered saddles for the
last year, he is not to be hanged ; if you come to a
perfectly inoffensive village which it can be proved
for certain has done no Englishman any harm,
which has done nothing for the last six months but
grow rice, or tobacco, or cotton, or Indian wheat,
do not burn it to ashes. and put all its inhabitants,
men, women, and sucking infants, to the sword."
Did the instructions simply amount to this, their
very unmeaningness would hamper our command-
ers, because they would naturally suppose that the
Government regarded them as savage men, and
would therefore weigh every act of severity which
they had to perform in a rigid and suspicious ba-
lance. Generals who are not trusted by a Govern-
ment act under a disadvantage. How much bet-
ter, when armed rebellion and outrage have put a
country under military law—when ordinary civil
justice is for the true necessarily suspended, and
British rule must use extraordinary means for its
vindication—to trust your military commanders.
What particular use for issuing cautions and antici-
pating cruelties ? Are English Generals made of
such unfeeling stuff ? Is that their character in his-

have there been wanting citieswhich have exempli-
fied in a most significant manner the felicitous con-
nection between the pursuits of learning and the
enterprising spirit of commerce and trade. There is
nothing in the engrossing character of commerce,
in its demand upon time, or in its influence upon
the mental habits of those engaged in trade, which
ought to create a difficulty in those who pursue it
between their love on the one hand of religion and
duty, or on the other of that literature and those
ennobling pursuits which add so much both to
sweeten the cup of life and exalt its natural and
moral tone. 1 hope that this influence on the in-
dustrious classes will go forth more largely into
those great and powerful centres which cultivate
commercial enterprise. We should all join in the
hope that the great Universities of the land may be
found practically to associate more largely than
heretofore with what may be called the trading or
middle class of the country. I, for my part, parti-
cipate in the satisfaction which, no doubt, you have
all felt in seeing these Universities during the pre-
sent year, I may say at a moment's notice, but in
all heartiness and in a spirit not to be mistaken,
offer to place themselves at the bidding and com-
mand of those who, like yourselves, are endeavour-
ing to organise a plan whereby education not given
in the Universities themselves may, nevertheless,
be brought to the test, and may receive the stamp of
merit from the authorities connected with the Uni-
versities. I heartily wish well to such a scheme.
(Cheers.) There is one other subject upon
which I would venture to say a word, because it is
a subject of importance even in Liverpool. I say
even in Liverpool, for I don't think there is a place
in the country so independent as Liverpool as to
the necessity for a demand upon the public service
fur employment. Such is the march of Liverpool
—such the growing extent of its field of commerce
—that within a comparatively short period it has
quadrupled its population. Such, I say, is the
rapid extension of that field that it opens legiti-
mate fields of employment for more hands then can
be found available for its services. (Hear, hear.)
But, at the same time, I dare say it will happen
that many among you will be looking to the pub-
lic service ; and I cherish a hope to see the en-
trance into that public service put upon a footing
more honourable to education and industry than is
has been heretofore. It is not satisfactory, sir, in
my mind, that people should go a-begging for j üb-
lic office—in my mind public offices should not be
considered as favours bestowed upon individuals,
but as opportunities for rendering useful, arduous,
and honourable services to the country. And
if there be opportunity for such useful, arduous,
and honourable services, the conferring of these
should not be held as a matter of favour frora

the State. That which is called patronage
may be a curse and plague upon the country ;
and, upon the whole, I am inclined to
think that it is. But in the nature of.
things you
cannot get rid of it altogether. There is indeed but
one way in which it could be got rid of. This system
of patronage is most rigidly employed in the en-
trance to the public service. If a man wants to get
his son into the army, or into the navy—into any
branch of the civil service, even to a landing waiter-
ship in the Customs—it is a matter of political beg-
ging, a matter of political influence. (Hear, hear.) I
say this with great respect, in presence of a member
of Parliament, who, I am sure, has bad as little to do
with this sort of thing as myself. I may be permitted
to hope that the day is coming when the basis of en-
trance to the public service—l don't now speak of
promotion for merit, for that could hardly be left
open to competitive examination—but I trust the
day is coming when, as far as regards entrance into
the public service for young men, nearly every
office that can be named will he held up in the face
of the country as the prize for the best candidate
who offers himself to gain it. (Cheers.) .It will,
in my opinion, be a great and happy day, amid all
the difficulties that attend this subject, if we can
see, as I really believe we shall see, these offices of-
fered as the premiums and rewards of honourable
exertion to the boys who, however they may have
distinguished themselves by their talents, character,
and conduct at schools, feel that their natural career
lies in the direction of rendering service to their
country as the holders of public offices. Now,
Sir, I have run out the limited sand-glass by which
lam bound upon this occasion. I should be reluc-
tant, after what you have so well done upon this
subject, to detain you any longer. I shall there-
fore only say that the disjointed remarks which I
have laid before you will serve—if they serve
nothing else—as a proof that my interest in this
institution is cordial and sincere. I will only say
one word more before I conclude, and I will
take my text from a name that is at present an
honoured name—a name of great popularity in
England, and one regarded with interest in every
homestead of the land. There still remains
in some quarters a vulgar notion that there
is a natural antagonism between corporal and men-
tal excellence. I trust that corporal education will
never be forgotten—that the pursuits of manly
sports will always receive the countenance and en-
couragement not only of the boys who engage in
them, but of the masters who are responsible for
these boys. There is a great deal of cant abroad
that the bookish boy, or the hard-working, stu-
dious boy, although very fit to sit and study with
book in hand, is not fit for the practical purposes
of life. There is much of that cant abroad, and I
would, for the purpose of putting a more liberal
system in force in regard to entrance into the pub-
lic service, read to you an example iu point. I
have selected from the Athenaeum of a few weeks
ago a passage which 'elates to a man around whose
name there is now concentrated more of public in-
terest than about the name of any other man of the
day. I mean Gen. Havelock. (Great cheering.) It
appears that Gen. Havelock was a Charter-house
boy ; and the writer in the Athenaeum—l am not
responsible for the authority—but he states, what
is not altogether improbable, that at school General
Havelock had a nickname, and the nickname was
" Old Plalos." There are very good scholars here,
no doubt, but I am not quite sure if at a first glance
they would understand the term. It appears that
"Old Phlos" is an abbreviation, and tbat without
the prefix it means philosopher. The paragraph in
the Atherveum, runs thus :—" 'Old Phlos' is a
name which we are sure must be now making the
hearts of old Carthusians dance with pride and de-
light. The Charter-house has boasted of many
scholars who have sprung into eminent men ;
among others, Crashaw, the poet ; Addison and
Steele, the essayists ; John Wesley, the religious
reformer; and L ,rd Ellenborough, the Lord Chief
Justice. To the list will surely be added ' Old
Phlos.' The pet name will be remembered by Car-
thusians, whose memory can go back some 40years
or more." And what was the character at school of
this Gen. Havelock who is now distinguishing him-
self by a temper, a courage, an activity, a zeal, a con-
sistency, and a dogged and dauntless resolution equal
at least to that of any man England has produced
during this century ? Tile paragraph in the A the-
nceum, proceeds :—" They will not have forgotten
the gentle and thoughtful lad who used to stand
looking on while others played, and whose general
meditative manner procured for him the name of
6 Philosopher,' subsequently diminished to ' Phlos,'
and occasionally applied as ' Old Phlos.' " That
young and popular philosopher is the soldier at
whose name the hearts of Englishmen beat with
honest ride. " 014 Phlos" of the Charter-house
.
!s Havelock, the hero of Cawnpore. (Great cheer-
ing.) This is my last word. 1 conclude by wish-
ing prosperity to this institution—its heads--every
one of its pursuits, and each and every of its de-
partments. (The right hon. gentleman concluded
amid loud cheering.)
The assembly then separated amid renewed
cheers fur Mr. Gladstone.

tory ? Are they rough, uneducated men, too,
know nothing about public opinion at home, and
how strongly we feel here against unnecessary bar-
barities and undiscriminating vengeance ? Our Gene-
rals in India are, we Lucy, fully up to this home
standard; they have no wish to violate it ; they
naturally want to stand well with the public when
they come back here to enjoy their hard earne I
laurels. It is not likely that they would d-li-
berately tarnish their good name by ferocious and
bloodthirsty acts. They have nothing to gain and
everything to lose by such tactics. Shall we
1)5 told of what the 10th at Dinapore has
just done ? That is nothing to the purpose. We
know that the English common soldier will
behave at times with a wild justice, especially
when he has heard that the women and children
of another British regiment has been massacred,
after experiencing cruel indignity and torture.
But we are talking now of our Generals. They
are the persons whom these instructions are
meant to influence ; and we suspect that they
do not want those instructions, at.d know per-
fectly well how to execute military justice so-
berly, temperately, and judiciously without them.
When a country falls naturally under military law,
leave it to the action of that 1 w. Military justice
is not necessarily bad because it is not civil justice.
It may be exercised with as much firbearance, in
proportion to the circumstances with which it has
to deal, as civil justiceca,u be. Our Generals will
not be able, perhaps, to check all brutality in their
soldiers ; who can stop the passion of an army in
its very triumph, wLen, inflamed by wrong, it
enters at last the devoted city ? There is a terrible
when, after the long
its climax. But our

Generals will, we apprehend, do what they can,
and do what English Generals always have don
to suppress as far as possible all that deserves the
name of ciuelty.

THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE AND THE INDIAN FUND.

—A. subscription from the clerks, sorters, and letter
