On Thursday a meeting of the patrons of the
orkshire Yeomans' Schools was held, at which

Lord Morpeth, who was in the chair, made a speech
of considerable length in favour of Government
Education. After six aking of the great want of
education amongst the lower classes, his lordship
made the following remarks, which we recommend
to the attention of the dissenting bodies.

Then, when in such a state of things, the leaders and

AN opportunity of relieving himself of a little of
the bile, or whatever else it may be, which excites
him, whenever the business connected with the

management of the Dock Estate comes before the
Council, is seldom neglected by Mr. Eyre Evans.
It seems as if he would travel from the most re-

mote point of her Majesty's empire of Great Britain
and Ireland, and we had almost added of her colo-
nial possessions, rather than lose a chance of bait-
ing a Dock Chairman or Deputy-Chairman, or
throwing a shower of grape, in the shape of insinu-
ations, taunts, comparisons, and direct charges
amongst the sub-committees and other members

of the Committee. The memory of the gol-

haunts him—waking and asleep, in sickness and

age, seems to excite in him a vitality and a restless
energy, which defy all external agency to repress

The proposal to substitute, for the present mode

Jff a diatribe upon dock management outweighed
their united efficacy. Well, the opportunity has
been enjoyed. Mr. Evans has had his speech—has
placed before the world the usual quantity of self
laudation, mingled with reprobation of the doings
of those who differ with him in opinion upon dock
matters ; and what is the effect produced ? No-
thing, except the establishment of the fact that Mr.
