LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1844.

The death of Lord A73'240E14 and the changes
which that event must necessarily produce—first, a
vacancy fur Horsham, whose present representative
becomes a Peer ; next, the all but certain promotion of
Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK to the judicial seat in the
Exchequer, creating a vacancy for Huntingdon;
third, the raising of Sir W. FOLLETT to the Attor-
ney-Generalship, requiring a new election for Exeter
—and, lastly, the acceptance of the Solicitor-Ge-
neralship, making a vacancy either for Cambridge
or for Woodstock—cause considerable speculation
as to the result of these elections, and as to the
conduct the electoral bodies of these constituencies
will pursue. The mere question of Whig or Tory,
is one but little raised at election contests now; some
broader,aon, and_ bolder, and more intelligible principle of
ac

a view to the wielding of political power by some
favoured leader, is now submitted to the constitu-
encies. Free trade—abundant and cheap food—mo-
derate labour, not forced to excess by the necessity of
working to procure the means of existence—form
the great, the important subjects, now prominently
submitted to every constituency. For this change in
the subjects upon which the electors have to think
and consider, the country is indebted to the Anti-
Corn-law League, and to the able and zealous advo-
cates of that body, in Parliament and out of Parlia-
ment. And it is a " great fact," that a body of men
like the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League,
should have been able to bring the public mind into
such a state that, even amidst the turmoil of elections,
which in this free country hive long been the chosen

scenes for the free exercise of every base, and selfish,
brutal, and degrading passion ; where freemen have
sought to barter their consciences for gold, and their
consciousness for liquor—the voice of argument and
of truth shall even there be heard and attended tc.
The triumphs of London and of Durham—the not
inglorious, though unsuccessful, contest of Salisbury,
show the strength and power of free trade principles.
And although Devizes, Hastings, and Christchurch,
gave no laurels to the League, they bore testimony to
the energy, the zeal, and the courage, with which the
apostles of free trade can disseminate their principles,
in places where, some few years back, the men-
tion of such notions ; would have roused the very
stones, against the intruders upon the agricultural sto-
lidity which then pervaded those boroughs.
Not a contest of any kind ought to take place in
England, where the voice of the League should not
be heard. In every borough, every county, the op-
portunity ought to be seized of discussing those prin-
ciples, which, sound as they are, require to be ex-
plained and expounded to men whose prejudices cause
them to dread innovation, and whose ignorance re-
quires enlightenment. Not a -chance of procuring
the return of a free trader should be omitted, and
every means should be adopted to call honestly into
exercise the franchise in favour of free trade principles,
and to prevent that buying and selling of the electoral
right, which, in many places, is the only understood
notion of free trade at present.
But we do not counsel the League, nor do we
think it advisable for them, to put forward candidates,
and to go to the poll with candidates, when the chance
of success, so far from being even remote, is totally
impossible. We object to a majority against free
trade being compulsorily and needlessly recorded,
without necessity, and against all good judgment.
We object to any splitting of interests, or apparent
alienation from one common liberal purpose, of per-.
sons who should be found under the same banners,
but who, knowing and feeling a contest hopeless, dis-
like being forced into it by any persons, or for any
purpose whatever. We object to a plan of action
which contemplates only defeat, and which seems to
ensure complete and apparently entire discomfiture,
by excluding' as many friends from the ranki as pos-
sible. The constituencies of England are, as yet, to
a very great extent, corrupt; the seekers and the
sought of corruptionists. They must be taught,
trained, and drilled, before they can be relied upon in
action. As well might raw recruits be put to face
veteran soldiers in the open field, as the uninstructed
electors be placed against the means that corruption
uses. The first great object of the League ought to
be to inform, educate, indoctrinate the people, with
the knowledge of free trade principles, and the inju-
rious effects of all monopolies. Show the people that
their own true interests consist, not in legislation for
a class, but for the whole people—not in aiming at
the benefit of the few, but at the good of the many.
When they have effected this—and seeing what they
have already done, it cannot be long to wait until it be
completed—there is not a constituency in the empire to
which they may not appeal with confidence of a suc-
cessful result. The cause of the League is a righteous
cause ; it must and will prevail ; and the name of
COBDEN will in after ages be heard of, when mono-
poly is only mentioned, as a monster which he mainly
assisted to destroy.

The Morning Post and the Morning Herald have
got up a " very pretty quarrel"—as Sir Lucius
O'Trigger would phrase it—on the subject of the
Agricultural Protection Society, which seems ;to be
as much disrelished by the„ former, as it is approved
by -the latter,. journal. The Post accuses the first
Tract of that. Society, which has just issued. from the
press, of coldness and insipidity, and of having a de.
tided tendency to send the farmers to sleep. The
Herald, on the other hand, avers that it is a dispas •
sionate appeal to the good sense of the great - body of
the people, as to • whether the agrieulturists are not
justified in the course which they have taken ; and
addA, that " to have filled' such an Address with
warm and spirit-stirring exhortations to energetic
action, as the Post would recommend, would have been
a practical blunder of the most palpable description."
It is amusing to see two journals, both professing
Toryism, both zealous in its cause, and earnest in
their denunciations of the antagonist principle of
Reform, thus going to loggerheads together on a sub-
ject of comparatively little moment, and the exact
merits of, which none but themselves can understand.
The Herald, it appears, is too tame for the Post—the
Post too uncompromising fur the Herald. This is all
that we can make out respecting the difference be-
tween them, except, indeed, that the Herald is of
opinion that the present Government is the best of all
possible Governments, while the Post insists—to quote
a homely adage—that it is "no great shakes?! Yet,
despite this discrepancy of sentiment, we frequently
find both journals fighting side by side in the ranks of
Toryism, and bespattering their mutual opponents with
an equal amount of Billingsgate, and, in particular,
laying the lash on the unhappy backs of Messrs.
COBDEN and Biloxi with all the energy they can
muster ; so that we are really not a little perplexed
to know what is the reason that they are just now so
inveterate with each other. Perhaps they will
vouchsafe to enlighten us on this point; and mean-
while we will proceed to make a few comments on the
following diverting passage which appears in the Herald
of this morning :—" The predicament of the agricultural
body, at present, is that of parties in possession ; and
who desire nothing more than to be let alone. They
want no new legislation. They require no agitation.
Their whole object is to maintain their present posi-
tion ; and this object will be more effectually achieved,
not by raising the country into a flame, but by calm-
ing, as far as may be, the agitation which has of late
years existed." The naiveté of this passage is inexpres-
sibly entertaining. Who does not know that the mo-
nopolists " desire nothing more than to be let alone ?''
Who requires to be told that "they want no new
legislation ?" Who entertains a doubt that their
" whole object is to maintain their present position ?"
As a matter of course they are actuated by
these feelings, for however injurious mono-
poly may, be to the rest of the community,
those who thrive by it—fatten on it—and turn it to
a most profitable account, are naturally anxious to
maintain the system just as it is, without the slightest
alteration or improvement. But because the mono-
polists entertain these views, is that a valid reason
why the country at large should entertain them ?
The boroughmongers were not less anxious to main-
tain possession of the rotten boroughs ; but Lord
GREY, with the people at his back, did not consider
this a sufficient argument against Reform. The
Herald adds, in reference to the Anti-Corn-law
League :—" We should be glad to see the Protection
Society endeavour to force from the League, by a
public demand, an explicit statement of its real
objects. It is almost a unique example
of success in the trade of fraud and imposition that a
set of men, who will neither tell the public who they are,
nor what they are really aiming at, should yet have
succeeded in drawing from the public a contribution'
of several thousands of pounds." The League, we
conceive, has already quite sufficiently explained its
" real objects," and surely there is no need that, for
the twentieth time at least, it should repeat its ex:
planation' Itslreal ;object is to put down monopoly
—as our Contemporary knows right well, notwith-
standing his affected ignorance—to show favour to
none, but to see that fair play is given to the indus-
try and enterprise of all. As for the Herald's cow.,
plaint that the League will not " tell the public who
' they are," has not the leader of that great'Con-
federacy already told the public that he is the son of a
Sussex farmer; and does not the whole country know
that he is an intelligent Manchester manufacturer, a
Member for Stockport, an able speaker, a judicious
man of business, an object of fear and abhorrence to
Mr. BANRES of Dorsetshire, and a thorn in the side of
Sir R. PEEL? If the Herald, on the part of the
public, is anxious to gain more particulars respecting
the great leader of the League, we dare say' that, on
making due application to him, Mr. COBDEN, who is
a courteous gentleman, will supply him with all ne-
cessary information respecting his age, his habits, his
studies, where he was christened, and when he was
married !

The cause of " Popular Education" is one which,
in the abstract, is calculated to enlist the universal
suPPort of the 'community. All classes—the noble and
the commoner, the rich, the middle, the poor, the des-
titute, the desolate—have, prima facie, a direct inte-
rest in its progress, an ultimate interest in its success.
For, what is the natural tendency of educationl'
What is its inbvitable result (unless in cases where

that result is wilfully or wickedly perverted, by means
not necessary to be here. recapitulated, but easily to
be conceived in connection with "corruptors of youth
and teachers of false doctrines") ? This natural ten-
dency is now to remove, and hereafter to obviate, the
brutalizing effects of ignorance. To exalt the intel-
lectual faculties of our fellow-creatures above the at-
mosphere of dangerous error and sordid prejudice—
to raise their physical condition beyond the degrading
influence of that prejudice. and error—these are the
elementary principles and objects of education, in its
largest sense. It follows, that the true welfare of a
State must be identified with the application of such
principles, the attainment of such objects in respect of
the greatest possible number of its subjeets.
In fact, then, we find, accordingly, all men of all
shades and divisions of opinion, moral or political,
concurring in the doctrine " that it is expedient to
provide education for the people." But the instant
you prepose any organised- scheme of instruction—
any working plan to regulate and define the nature of
the learning to be taught, and to provide for the mode
and means of communicating it—all this unanimity
appears to dissolve. The general proposal, which all
hands are eagerly extended to receive, is like a
globule of quicksilver. Once touched, it falls into an
uncertain number of molecules,—all equally globular
and shapeable to the eye, but: diverging in twenty or
thirty different lines; and caught up and manipulated,
each according to the fancy of tile individual operator
by whom it has been seized—all chance of applying
the original globule to its -destined purposes is lost.
In the same way a large and well conceived plan of
instruction for the people seems fated, in this country,
to fall in pieces, the instant it is brought into actual
contact with the forms .Of practical administration.
One party runs off, with his little scheme of exclu-
sively Scriptural education ; another with a project of
exclusively economic instruction ; a third with a
theory of purely technic.l initiation ; a fourth, with
proposals for a course of tuition devoted entirely to the
acquisition of practical acquaintance with manufac-
tureS, or the processes .of particular trades. All this
has beereso visibly shown. in recent examples, memo-
rable for :the important bearing of the proposals
brought, forward, and for the signal failure of those
proposals, that we need not insist upon the point. The
Facfory Education Bill was a signal exemplification
of the -most certain method for defeating a great and
good object by the attempt -to secure a minor one, in
the shape of patronage to a party. Its failure has ne-
cessarily left an incredible number of young persons,
who are incessantly engaged in .the pursuits of manu-
facturing labour, without any education at all, lend-
ing the ultimate fate of a graceless squabble about
the ".sore of education to be given, and the " exclu-
aive control" over it which has been claimed
on.behalf of "ministers of the, Established Church."
In, the meanwhile what appalling evidences does
every day's experience present to us of the necessity
for a general scheme of sound, moral, useful educa-
tion, not limited by the defective scale of the so-
called " national" system adopted in Ireland,—
(which is no more than a mere Board monopoly)
—nor yet to the halting progress of our parochial
system in England, which, though better, is very in-
complete, and badly superintended ! The multipli-
cation of crimes, and the increasing intensity of their
character, against order, property, and life, are ter-
rible indications of the volcanic evils that are in
active combination, as it were, beneath the surface of
society. We are unwilling to particularise in order
to corroborate this assertion ; for we deeply feel the
responsibility of all journals in these days, in giving
publicity to frightful excesses and enormities of
sanguinary guilt that operate (we greatly fear) to
encourage in the more ignorant masses of our popu-
lation, a hideous monomania. With the habitual
contemplation of great crimes, even cultivated
minds lose the healthful instinct of involun-
tary repugnance and disgust, which only gives
place, first, to a species of morbid curiosity as to
details; then to an apathetic toleration of their
horrorsifinally, to a Mysterious excitement of imi-
tation. In proportion to the uncultivated character
of the mind to which such descriptions thus address
themselves, is the feebleness of the innate and original
principle of abhorrence they should be calculated to
excite.

The recent cases at Taunton—the suicides and
murders that have still more recently occurred in one
family at Deptford—but we must close the dismal
list we have but half unfolded, with that which yes-
terday added to the bloody record, the overwhelming
tragedy at Whitwell, in Norfolk, with its four infant
victims -to the brutal frenzy of a father (!)—these are
catastrophes that appeal, with the solemnity and force
of voices issuing from the' tomb, for preventive legis-
lation. Let those who Imagine that the duty of edu •
eating the people is accomplished by a strict ad-
herence • to this or that particular canon of
even "evangelical" teaching, as it is called, learn
from the last atrocity we have. just enumerated, the
absurdity of supposing that such a course of training
necessarily constitutes all that it is indispensable fre.

most inconceivable and

ture to predict that it may not be proved hereafter
that this wretched culprit WAS one of the " Bible-

been claiming infallibility for this their " one " an l
" all-sufficing" educational dogma? It appears that

A _Methodist Ranting preacher ;
afterwards a. minister of a new sect called the
"Revivalists ;" and that after slaughtering his four
innocent children—the eldest of them but five
years old, the youngest ten weeks—" he was con-
veyed to Norwich Castle, singing psalms the whole
way !" It is scarcely necessary to add, what
our readers will have anticipated, that the miserable
man, in answer to those who questioned him, ex-
pressed his conviction .that " he had done well in
what he had done ;" for this is but an ordinary phase
of fanatical prepossession in perpetrating crimes, front
JOHN of Munster down to Naei.oe, the Quaker. But
we do hope and trust that those into whose hands the
business, or direction, or control of a large and bene-
ficial scheme of popular education may hereafter fall,
will feel it to be their first duty to inculcate'in'the minds
of the young the primary duties of man to his Gon,
and to his fellow-creatures, to his family or kindred,
and to society; the reciprocal duties of obedience and
protection between a parent and child,—and State
and parent. Let these elementary principles of cha-
rity and goodwill be the first and chiefest moral les-
son impressed on every pupil. The internecine
struggles and atrocities related of the Jewish people,
in the earlier periods of their history, and their im-
placable opponents, may be better be taught when
the pupil's mind is sufficiently matured to note the
difference between the traditional authority for dread-
ful facts—unquestionable as it is,—and their applica-
tion as any rtde of duty of conduct.

The. Madrid 'journals of the sth are chiefly filled
with details of the religious ceremonies observed on
Good Friday. 'lie Cabinet, it appears, has had a
meeting relative to the proposed alterations concerning
the press, and it was understood that an ordonnance
on the subject would Ase published forthwith, and
also for declaring martial law at an end. The Depu-
ties, who had been imprisoned now for three months,
had been allowed to receive the visits of their friends,
and great crowds took advantage of the circumstance
to leave their names at the prison.
The Bourse remained closed.

The affairs of Otaheite egain occupy the attention
of the Path journalists. The, arrival of an officer
with dispatches from Admiral DursTrr Moran has
excited considerable curiosity ; and, as the Govern-
ment appear anxious to conceal their contents, some
of the Opposition papers infer that the intelligence
from that quarter is not favourable. The Siecle,
however, asserts the contrary, and states that the
delay in publishing the documents arises from the
embarrassment into which the Government is thrown
by disowning so hastily the sets of a public func-
tionary, who had merited well of his country. "The
officer arrived from Otaheite," says that journal,
" with dispatches from Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS,
and who is said to have brought a most favourable
account of the colony since the establishment of our
sovereignty, must have been in no slight degree as-
tounded at the reception he has met with. He ex-
pected congratulations, apd. perhaps an ovation ; but

cumstances which he, no doubt, was commissioned

to lay before the Minister of Marine. The advent of
this officer, who was a member of the Commission
for insuring respect to the protectorate of France, and
has since been Aide-de-Camp to Admiral DUPETIT
THOUARS, is a political event of incontestible gravity.
The disavowal by the Government has not yet been
discussed and decided upon by the Chamber, thanks
to the humility of the Ministry, which has dis-
pensed with an approval, and contented itself
with a suspension of sentence of condemnation.
The Ministry owes to the Chamber and the
country a full communication of all that has
now come "to its knowledge." The National
also calls for explanation on two grounds. " Either
the dispatches," it says, " justify the conduct of the
Admiral towards Queen POMARE, or they justify the
Government which has censured the conduct of the
Admiral. In the latter case, the Government owes
to the country and'. to itself to make known the docu-
ments; in the. contrary case, - it owes to the country
and to itself to retract a disavowal which it made too
hastily." The. affairlit is expected will be brought
before the Chambirs in a few days. From another
source we learn that Queen PoMARE is not the only
person with whom the Admiral has quarrelled. Some
of his own countrymen had rebelled against his au-
thority, and the disputes became so serious that he
was obliged tO'eXpel them from the island. The fol-
lowing is the account given of the transaction taken
from the Journal du Havre :
" Scarcely had the Governor-General been installed, when
he bad to contend against difficulties which, this time, were
not got up by the, English, but by our fellow-countrymen
themselves. It appears that several Frenchmen established
in the island have experienced some prejudice in their inte-
rests from our having taken possession of the country, and
have complained much of M. Moerenhout, who was the French
Consul, but whd; since our occupation, has been promoted to
the post of director of the interior of the new colony. The
charges brought against this functionary were laid before the
Governor-General, who did not consider them to be well
founded. The persons who complained of injury to their in-
terests, instead of waiting patiently for a more opportune mo-
ment to demand justice, persisted in their accusations, and in
such terms that the Govenior-General thought it necessary to
expel them from the island. Among these we may men-
tion Al. Desentis, who received orders to quit, and who
eventually took his departure in the Jonas, of Nantes. M.
Desentis intends to appeal to the Council of State, not
merely against M. Moerenhout, but also against Admiral
Dupetit Thottars. We shall not go farther now in our reve-
lations of the details which have reached us, and which
are of a nature to give pain to all , men, who desire that the
name of France Aliould be respected in those distant coin,-
trik s."

M. REINE, the officer who brought over the dis-
patches, had an interview with the KING on Wednes-
day, in the presence of the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, the Minister of Marine, and blarshal SOULT:
He afterwards proceeded to the British Embassy, and,
had an interview with Lord COWLEY.

The Railway Committees for the two lines- to
Bordeaux and Lyons were constituted on Thursday,
when M. DE LAMARTISE was chosen President for the
latter line, and M. DIITAERE for that to Bordeaux.

A petition in three parts, calling for the immediate
abolition of slavery in the French colonies, signed by
workmen and workwomen of Paris, has been pre-
sented to the chamber by Messrs. ISAMBERT, DE LA•

The betting at the .West-end of the town yesterday
was very much in favour of Mr. Kelly as Solicitor-
General. He•was freely backed against Mr. Thesi-
ger, at considerable odds, whilst Mr. Godson and Mr.
Wortley- were scarcely named. Indeed it is felt by
all parties that the two latter gentlemen have not
the slightest chance. Mr. Godson as Solicitor-Ge-
neral, of whom nothing at the Bar was ever heard
or Mr. Wortley, who, ever since he had a silk gown,
has found to his cost. that he had mistaken his power's
to lead! Sir Robert Peel is too good a judge of ta-
lent, to make either -of them Solicitor-General ; the
first might address the Ouse,. ALS he ealls it, -without
gaining attention ; the secon4:4oe. -failure both in and
out. There is no doubt that Mr. Thesiger is the fa-
vnurite 'of Bar, but. Mr. Kelly has the talent
Neither of them is certain of his seat— Mr. Kelly
lose Cnizridge ; Mr.- Thesiger cannot sit for 'Wood-
stock gra lut the consent of the Duke of Marlbo-
rough, and that is doubtful; so that the only retugt
for Peel's future Solicitor-General is in the borough
of Huntingdon. Still we should say that Mr. Kelly's
chance is the best.

We have been greatly pleased by a survey of th,.
improvement,: effected, and in progress, at the Surrey
Zoological Gardens. - Statues, casts, &c., by Coade
and Seeley, made after the very best models, have been
erected in various parts of the grounds, greatly to the
embellishment of the scene. One of them, a cast.
after Canova, struck us as one of the very best vcc
have seen. Danson, Tolbin, and other artists, are at
work upon the new subject, and Southby is preparing
all his resources. The collection of animals and birds
has been very greatly increased, and the condors and
ostriches are the finest ever seen in this country.
What a change has a few years effected in the
public taste ! Formerly all was vanity and dissipa-
tion—now, the mind and-intellect are catered for, and
nowhere mare so than at the Surrey Zoological
Gardens.

Her Majesty has been pleased to approve the appoint.
ment of Sir Frederick Pollock to be Chief Baron of the
Exchequer, and of Sir• William •Follett to•be-Attorney7
General. Vacancies are thus created for Huntingdon
and Exeter. We believe that Sir Frederick Pollock will
take his seat on Monday, that being the first day of term,
unless prevented by the trials now going on at the Old
Bailey.
