LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1844.

"Few now-a-days," says the Spectator, " willdeny
the necessity of placing a civil education within the
reach of all classes who are required to obey the law,
and therefore should be enabled to know what they
are to obey ; few will deny that education adminis-
tered by the Church must be practically denied to
Dissenters ; and therefore, in some shape or other,
education must be attainable without the ecclesiastical
accompaniments. The onus, however, lies on those
who assert that secular and ecclesiastical education
must go together—a task not yet performed." There
is much truth in our weekly Contemporary's re-
mark that a system of popular instruction ad-
ministered by the Church, " must be practically
denied to Dissenters," for it is impossible that Dis-
sent, holding the views it does on the subject of the
Establishment, can ever permit its children to receive
their education at its hands. The two parties do not
merely stand aloof from, but are in direct antagonism
to, each other. The dogmas which orthodoxy clings
to with the most rigid tenacity, are precisely those
which heterodoxy holds in the greatest abhorrence•
The former maintains the expediency of a close al-
liance with the State as being advantageous to the
interests of both; the latter repudiates such alliance
as being fraught with injury to the cause of true re-
ligion, and tending to no worthier or more useful ob-
ject than increasing the influence of priestcraft. Or-
thodoxy, though not absolutely opposed to it, is in many
instances jealous of freedom of opinion and inquiry;
whereas it is in this same freedom that heterodoxy
has its foundations. The one would confine educa-
tion within narrow limits ; the other would have it
comprehensive in its range, and conducted on enlarged
principles. It is clear, then, that if the Church is to
administer instruction to the masses, Dissent must
keep away from its schools, and either allow its
humbler and poorer children to continue in ignorance,
or else instruct them in institutions of its own. But
as education carried on on this system must be con-
fined, comparatively speaking, to the few, and
cannot possibly embrace the majority of those
who stand in need of it, we see no reason

why the Spectator's judicious view of the ques-
tion should not be adopted, and popular instruction be
afforded " without the ecclesiastical accompaniments."
The experiment is well worth making, and none but
High Church bigots could offer any objection to it;
but surely it is not the duty of Government to legis-
late solely in accordance with the prejudices of these
people, who, however noisy and blustering they
may be, constitute, we are willing to believe, but a
small -portion of the community ! The notorious
failure of Sir .1. GRAHAM'S Education Bill the year
before last—notwithstanding, as we admitted at the
time, it had some good points in it—must have con-
vinced him that either some such medium plan as our
weekly Contemporary suggests, must be adopted, or
else the great question of national instruction
must be abandoned altogether, and the masses
be left to shift for themselves. But this is
not for an instant to be thought of. If
there be one public necessity more pressing than
another—if there be one " great fact" more generally
acknowledged than another—it is, that the people
should be put in possession, with as little delay as
possible, of the inestimable blessings of a sound prac-
tical education, adapted to their own particular wants,
and the character of the age in which they live, and
which hundreds of them may, perhaps, at no distant
period, assist to mould. There is no such sure
guarantee for national tranquillity as national educa-
tion. Instruct the people, as they have a right to be
instructed, not in slavish accordance with this creed or
that, but in the comprehensive truths of religion and mo-
rality, and you at once quench the blazing torch of
Swing, and put an end to the midnight excesses of Cap-
tain Rock. Of course, however, the Post is in arms to
resist the Spectator's suggestion ; and in reference to the
Church's claims as sole instructress of the people, says
that the only " education which will make the autho-
rity of the laws respected, will be one which by the
cultivation of the moral faculties, shall induce not
only the knowledge of virtue, but the love of it,
and by the ministration of religion shall rear
a race of loyal citizens, honest men, and faith-
' ful Christians." This is perfectly true; but is the
Church the only party capable of educing the moral
faculties of the people, exciting in them a love of
virtue, and making them good citizens and good
Christians ? Cannot Dissent put in practice an
equally valuable system of instruction, and educate
the masses, quite, as efficiently as the Church, in the
sublime truths orreligion and morality ? We have
no patience with such one-sided bigotry as that ex-
hibited by our morning Contemporary, and feel
assured that it will find an echo in the breasts but of
few, even of his own party readers.

have Princes, or had, of Ponte Corvo, Moskowa,
Eckmahl, and many other nobles with foreign titles,
all calculated to humble continental States, while we
have not one member in the House of Peers with a
title that can recal any painful feeling to Frenchmen.
If the writers in these journals had any sense of pro-
priety, or common fairness, they ought to acknow-
ledge the fact, and render England an act of justice,
by saying that she had shown great moderation in all
her victories, and that only in two or three instances
had she imitated Imperial France. But nothing would
satisfy these fire-eaters. Were Queen 'VICTORIA to
turn the " Waterloo Gallery" into " Louis Philippe's
Gallery," or call it by any other name, however flatter-
ing to their national pride, they would say the new
title was only the offspring of fear, or granted to M.
GUIZOT as a bribe for some atrocious sacrifice of the
interests of France. These remarks are not addressed
to the great body of the French people, whom all who
know them must admire for their honesty and
bravery ; they are addressed to the most bitter ene-
mies of France and England.

We have received Madrid journals of the 4th inst.
Great anxiety prevailed in the capital respecting the
new measures to be proposed by the Government on
the meeting of the Cortes. It was generally believed
that the Cabinet would hang together till that period
at least, and submit to the Chambers a plan for re-
constructing the Constitution, and establishing such
organic laws as might seem advisable. In case the
measures should be rejected they would resign in a
body. The Heraldo announces that the conversion
of the Floating Debt into Three per Cent. Stock had
been at last concluded at the rate of 40 per cent.
It was believed that the publication of the two de-
crees for the converson of the Floating Debt and the
convention with the San Fernando Bank, for the pay-
ment of the interests on the Three per Cents., would
take place simultaneously ; but the Minister of Fi-
nance had wished to keep the two affairs distinct, in
order to avoid everything that might promote specula-
tion in the public funds.
The Three per Cents. were done at 27k, the Five
per Cents. at 20k, and the Coupons at 27, at 60 days.

The following telegraphic dispatch announcing the
arrival of the KING of the FRENCH at Windsor
Castle, on Tuesday (not Monday, as stated yecter-
day), appeared in the Paris journals of Thursday :
Calais, 9th of October, Four in the Afternoon.—
' Windsor, Bth, Five in the Afternoon.—The KING
arrived in good health at Windsor at two o'clock.
Prince ALBERT went to Portsmouth, and met the
KING on board the Goiner. The QUEEN received
him at the bottom of the grand staircase of the
Castle. His MAJESTY received from the population
on the road the most lively and cordial welcome."
" The London papers of Tuesday," says Galignani,
" reached us late this morning (Thursday), the wea-
ther in the Channel yesterday having retarded the ar-
rival of the Calais packet. 'We subjoin the fullest de-
tails of the arrival of his Majesty Louis PHILIPPE in
England, the fact of which had been already re-
ceived by telegraph. It will be seen that the special
attentions of the KING'S royal hosts, and the reception
of his MAJESTY by the people, were in every sense
equally worthy the ancient character of England for
hospitality, and of the illustrious monarch upon whom
they were bestowed."
The Journal des Debats bas a long and excellent
article in support of the KING'S Government, and
against the war party in France. "We at once
admit," says that journal, " that, if it were possible
that foreign nations could mistake the spirit which
animates the Opposition journals for the expression of
public opinion in France, they must indeed form a
poor opinion of us. They would believe us to be a
quarrelsome, meddling, boasting people, affected with
an incurable Don Quixotism ! All Europe is aware
that France enjoys—thanks to the wisdom of her Go-
vernment—an unheard-of degree of prosperity and of
liberty, of which no other nation affords an example.
Europe well knows that the French Government,
whilst it maintained general peace, never suffered
any injury to be inflicted on our interests or on our
dignity. She knows that recent victories have again
conferred honour on our arms in Africa, and con-
solidated French dominion in Algeria. All Europe,
in fact, is unanimous in celebrating the humane,
liberal, and pacific Prince who places his glory in
never having sullied his reign by any of the crimes
which politics have too long excused, and which the
folly of men have sometimes classed amongst great
actions. What opinion would Europe • form of us if,
judging of France by the Opposition, it could believe
that we were impatient to quit this state of peace and
of tranquillity, that we were tired of happiness, and
that we had a thirst for the drama of revolutions
and of war ? What would she think of us if
she could mistake for the voice of the country
the cries of the Opposition, which sees not, or
will not see, the honours which the crowned
representative of France and of the Revolution
of July is at this moment receiving in a foreign
country are honours paid to the Revolution ? Oh !
no doubt we should appear very small, very mean,
;And incapable of enjoying true glory and true liberty !
Fortunately, however, France is known to foreign
nations, and that gives us confidence. We fear not
that the Opposition be confounded with France. The
Opposition is small, quarrelsome, and basely envious.
France is great and peaceable. These people who are
driving their country into war, are revolted when
they are called the war party ; and they are right in
some respect in rejecting this qualification. Their
common sense tells them that war would be a fright-
ful scourge for the whole earth. If they were to
plunge their country into a war, they would be the
very first to lament it and groan in their hearts.
Their success would confound them. They court
passions which they know to be bad and baleful.
They blame with their mouths that which in their
consciences they approve of ; and if they had less con-
fidence in the wisdom of the Government they insult,
in the courage of the Minister whom they treat as a
coward, they would not venture to be so bellicose
in their language. M. GUIZOT will maintain peace—
and this is their reliance. The war they make is but
a war against the Ministry. If, however, their suc-
cess should be greater than they wish—if the country
should in the end fancy itself dishonoured—oh,
then, indeed! so much the worse for France! She
would hate to get out of her difficulties in the
best way she could. What would you ? One
must be something, and when one is not in the
Ministry, where can one be if not in the Opposi-
tion ? Let us then make opposition ! The KING is
going into England. The Queen of BRITAIN came
first to visit him in France—all Europe is attentive,
and more than one King, perhaps, looks in spite on
this union of two Governments who hold in their
hands the peace of the world. The Constitutional
King of FRANCE will receive in a free country
marks of sympathy, which are not granted to ab-
solute monarchs. We are no longer in those days
when to be prodigal of caresses, while
,the parties
only thought of cutting one another's throats, passed
for a master-piece of policy. This approximation of
the Revolution of 1688 to the Revolution of 1830 is a
great and solemn event. But M. GUIZOT is Minister!
The KING'S journey into England is, therefore, the
coup-de-grace of our national dignity, and in the ex-
pression of its spite the dynastic Opposition goes far
beyond the radical Opposition. We have said that
the Opposition is well known abroad; but, happily,
France is well known there also, and, this

No popular rights derived from ancient, and almost
forgotten charters, or from local custom having the
force of common law rights, are so liable to produce
encroachment, and even to final usurpation, as forest
rights and rights of common, in the poorer inhabi-
tants of various districts in this country—which are
still more or less uninclosed. On this account we
have always endeavoured to watch every indica-
tion bespeaking (under pretexts however colourable
or plausible) a design to press an Inclosure Act in
respect of such localities as we speak of. We have
reason to believe that our efforts in these cases have not
been altogether unavailing (in some instances) to
arrest, and perhaps to avert, a species of spoliation on
the ancient rights of the community, and especially
the poor, to which legal chicanery and speculation are
too often not only consenting, but suggesting and
abetting parties. By such means it is that in the
neighbourhood of the metropolis, and in the su-
burban vicinity, of all our great towns, by slow, but
sure, degrees, the parish green, the village common,
the green and pleasant lanes, the old familiar grove,
with its tall elms or beeches, and its cawing rookery ;
the " close," or the " croft," with its trim hedges,
and its usually nearest path out of the " people's
hive" into the silent but more cheerful country ; the
green, destined for the sports, and even the copses and
woods, resorted to by the holiday folk for their plea-
sure and recreation—one by one disappear. They
are expunged from the very map of the district.
These open spaces, these breathing grounds for the
people, are absorbed, the people know not how, into
the sudden possession of individuals, the people know
not whom. Some interloper drops, as if from the
clouds, upon the land; and it is as effectually secluded
from those who were wont, as their fathers had been
before them, to enjoy its healthful amenities, as if
clouds enveiled it for evermore. What the demands
of increasing trade or extensive manufactures have
not laid off in streets and warehouses, and mills
and factories, these fortunate " squatters by Act
of Parliament," suddenly surround with trenches,
which yield, in due time, to the park fencing, or the
more substantial brick wall. In districts purely
rural, the wondering peasant is first astonished at ob-
serving some favourite ancient tree falling beneath
the axe of a strange woodman, under the authority
of the " strange gentleman" who has just come down
to occupy the great house hard by, and is taking in
his right of common from the waste. In a few days
more, more trees are felled, hitherto regarded by the
same peasant as objects sacred as the neighbouring
church itself from such profanation. The work goes
on. It is everybody's business to challenge the autho-
rity by which it is all done ; and, therefore—nobody
challenges. The villagers are hemmed in, cribbed upon
here ; shut out there ; curtailed in this hundred ;
shifted in that ; till at last neither common nor
croft, nor grove, nor green, nor copse remain to
them. They are ousted. The fortunate owner of
" the large white house" is discovered to be entitled,
under some smuggled-through " Private Bill," to the
five hundred acres of waste (that had afforded exer-
cise, solace, and health, to five hundred of the poorer
people, haply for five hundred years before), about
the same time that his first drains are cut, and his
first gate-posts are set up.

This is no exaggerated sketch of the history and
results of an Inclosure Act. For many years past
there have been, at least, a dozen of such illustra-
tions supplied by every session of Parliament. But
these are not the only modes in which the rights of
common and waste, that we desire to protect, are
shamefully infringed upon. Let us take, for example,
one of the most perfect and noble sylvan remains of
which this once forest-covered country can now
boast—(and it is within even a walk of the metro-
polis)—we mean Epping Forest. We have lately
witnessed, with indignation as well as regret, the
barefaced encroachments that are being daily made,
on the common forest land, in the immediate vicinity
of the Bald-faced Stag, at the top of the hill above the
Woodford-gate; again, in other parts of the Forest
in the neighbourhood of the property of Mr.
CONYERS, of Copped Hall; of Mr. MILLs, near
Theydon ; and at other points which we could name.
Some of the gentlemen whose estates adjoin the
scenes of these encroachments are, if we mistake
not, Forest officers themselves, rejoicing in the title
of " Verderers." Are they, also, the landlords of
the tenements built there ? And if so, under what
title do they assume the power to lease the soil, for
their own benefit ? If they are cognizant of the en-
croachments we speak of, especially the felling of
timber, do they permit them as landlords or as
Verderers ? Who derive the benefit of the timber
felled—themselves or the tenants ? Is it the right of
either ? Does it, or does it not, belong to the
Crown ? Are the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests aware of these proceedings ? May we ask,
too, what took place last week at the "Forty Days'
Court," at which it was understood Mr. COPELAND,
M.P. (who has, with a degree of public spirit and
disinterestedness highly honourable to him, protested
against the inefficient discharge of their duty by these
Verderers), intended to compel more explanations on
these points, or, failing in that object, to originate a
petition to the Crown for the removal of the autho-
rities in question. The matter involves important
public privileges and interests ; and we shall -be
happy to receive any authentic information about it.
We cannot afford to see Epping Forest desecrated by
squire-jobbing in "waste lands,"

it is that gives us confidence. 1:1: e have no

is she who has given to her Government force enough
to establish order and maintain peace amidst conspi-
racies, plots, assassinations, revolts, and intrigues

The French Opposition journals express great in-
dignation that an entertainment should be given to
Louis PHILIPPE in the Waterloo Gallery ; but the
Queen of ENGLAND cannot help this. It is the only
hall in the Castle fit for such a purpose ; and if there
is anything offensive in the name, the complainants
are the parties to blame. The French Imperialists
set us the example. They have their bridge of Jena,
and their pillar of Austerlitz; and why should not

betwden Lieutenant Rose and the French naval cap-
tain at Otaheite, has excited some bitter remarks
from the war party, as if the insult, if insult it was,
had been offered to the French officer. Several of
the Ministerial papers contradict the report as intelli-
gence had been received by the French Government
to the 11th of May, while the affair is stated to have
taken place on the 7th of April. The following ap-
pears in the Moniteur :
" Reports from the Governor of the French establish-
ments in the Pacific arrived to-day (Wednesday) at the
office of the Minister of Marine and Colonies. These re-
ports are to the 11th of May. They make no mention
of the accident which is said to have taken place relative
to an officer of the English navy, and of which several
journals of this morning have copied accounts from the
London papers. No new engagement has taken place
since the affair of the 17th of April, in which the insur-
gents entrenched at Mahaena were defeated and dis-
persed. On the Ist of May the King's fete was cele-
brated at Papeiti with pomp, and amidst the most per-
fect order. The chiefs of all the districts of Otaheite end
of the island of Eimeo were invited to attend. Almost
all of them were present at the ceremony, accompanied
by the principal personages of each district, and they
showed dispositions of goodwill and of conciliation, which
Governor Bruat considered as very satisfactory."

The greatest excitement took place on the Paris
Bourse when it was known that the contracts for the
Orleans and Bordeaux line of railway were finally
declared. The Constitutionnel gives this account of
the scene :

" The adjudication was scarcely terminated, when the
speculators hurried off in their cabriolets to the Bourse.
It was a veritable steeple chase. In the Rue de Varen-
nes, the horse of one party having come down, the per-
sons in the cabriolet hurried off, to arrive at the temple
of fortune, without giving a thought to the fate of the
driver and horse. We may well say temple of fortune,
since in the first hour the shares of the Mackenzie Com-
pany realised as much as 90f., and those of the Company
Bartholony 125 f. of prime on the share of 500 f."
The following appears in the Siecle

" There has been scandalous goings on at the Bourse
during the last few days. The promises of shares of the
different Companies which intended to offer tenders for
the Orleans and Bordeaux Railroad were made the ob-
ject of frightful jobbing. Never was the gambling now
prohibited by law carried on in a more barefaced way.
Simple promises, which the following day might prove
to be valueless, were sold at considerable premiums, and
this in spite of the King's Commissioner, who is ap-
pointed to see that the Bourse does not degenerate into
a mere gaming-house. What is the meaning of these
negotiations ? The subscription itself for shares in
undertakings of which the naturo and condition are un-
known is very irregular, the parties who subscribe not
knowing what they pledge themselves to, or what they
obtein_ because they are ignorant of the extent of the
sacrifices agreed by the managing Committee ; but, as if
this irregularity were not great eiveigh, a new one is
introduced. Simple hopes are made the ground of spe-
culation, and large premiums are paid for the shares of
the Company which appears to have the greatest chance
of obtaining a contract."

CONCLUSION Uh' THE INQUEST

The inquest was resumed yesterday, when after the
examination of several witnesses, Mr. Hutchbury, at
twenty minutes past four o'clock, the foreman of the
jury, said they had heard sufficient evidence to enable
them to make up their minds as to their verdict.
The CORONER remarked that it was for the jury to
call for more evidence if they wished it.
The jury replied that they had heard sufficient.
The CORONER then ordered the room to be cleared,
which was immediately done.
After deliberating about a quarter of an hour, the
jury found the following

LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.--On Friday
evening Mr. James Raleigh Baxter delivered a lecture
at this institution, on the design of a self-supporting
society, in conformity with the Christian religion. Em-
ployment
tio
n in agriculture,
everything a s th
relating to the society,e main pursuit, and mu-
tual co-op co-operation
comprised the groundwork of the system proposed. Mr.
Baxter took a clear and comprehensive view of the com-
petitive principle, as advocated by the political econo•
mists, first considering it in the abstract in contrast with
the charities of Christianity ; and then, with reference
to its results, as evidenced by statistical facts. The ar-
gument, which was strong and logical, went to show
that the wealthy and the poor increase together in an
inverse ratio, by competition, while the middle classes of
society gradually become extinct', and which was the re-
sult in the Roman Empire towards its decline.
FECUNDITY OP I'HE CANARY.—There is a person
living near Cowley Hall, in the parish of Hillingdon,
, who has a pair of canaries, which have had no less than
six nests between the 2d of April and the 4th of this
month (September), hatching sixteen canaries, two
nightingales, and one greenfinch, making in all the large
number of nineteen. The whole, with the exception of
the nightingales, which by some accident got smothered
in the nest, have turned out strong healthy birds. The
total number of eggs laid by this pair during the season
was twenty-four,
CAUTION.—A practice has been lately discovered
in this neighbourhood which leads to a suspicion that a
system is adopted by some servants of obtaining fic-
titious characters; it therefore behoves masters kid Mis-
tresses to be very circumspect in reeeiving, without due
inquiry, any character which they may obtain from
parties referred Ile. In the case we have reported to us,
a female o.l.'plied for a situation as cook, and referred for
her character to a clergyman living at a village in
Suff.:at; a letter was addressed to this evntiernani and a
satisfactory reply, as to competency o.ll'd ttaracter, was
received; but the answer was couched iii such singiilar
language, and the orthography sd iiidiff4eikt; that
the
deception was at once di3cov4?td, and the woman re-
jected. We hope, fet the sake of example, that the case
will be thorottgnly investigated, and the parties ills' -
cated exposed,— Ozeineford Chronitle,

Yesterday it deputation from the distressed Needle,.
women's Society, accompanied by Mr. Alderman Pare;
brother, the President of the society, and the honorary
secretary, Mr. Roper, had a long interview with tin§
Poor-law Commissioners on the subject of the low prices

their anxious wish to afford all proper assistance to meet
the wishes of the deputation.
A KINDRED FEELING.—At a meeting of the

The Bank of Ee3lend returns to the 7th instant, on a
comparison with the previous weekly statement, offers
the following features only deserving speCial allusion:—
A. restriction in the paper circulation of 279,9251., as
regards the issue department ; a further increase in the
public deposits,- under the banking department ; but a
slight decrease in the general 'moments, a trifling re-
duction in the rest, and a diminution in the bullion, to
the total amount of 319,949/.
There are no later arrivals to-day fre.xn any qua ter.
A fair business has been done this week le, the general
produce markets ; and the same satisfactory feature
distinguishes them ; viz., an absence of speculation.
Indigo has improved within the last two days ; anti the
lorge Colonial Wool sales have gone off favourably.
The Public Securities have been firm to-day. The
purchases on account of the Sinking Fund will
be limited to 43,5191., as regards Stock, but
there will be again 400,0001. invested in the Exchequer
Bills, made out pursuant to the Act 57 Geo. 111., cap.

Whatever objection an exact criticism might offer
all attempts at varying, in fantasia, the purest effift

Mr. Cohan has taken but few liberties with t.'4'":,
charming air, and has had the tact to preserve ,"-
tenderness and feeling throughout the whole of "r;
spirited and sportive variations. The work is dew'
