TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1848.

m direct the attention of our readers to the
zP°l74,7sqt of the meeting to aid the Cheltenham Na-
-4ai;lroa Training Schools for Masters and Mistresses
tr-rolnexion with the Committee of Council on
aZzikzztion, held on Tuesday evening, as announced
m47-7.2r last. The opening and concluding speeches
Dr. "M'Neile were as usual very effective, espe-
*thikli where he exposed the folly and fallacy of
.Crcznt:f,m, and provided answers for loyal operatives
lir ,',..lleir possible encounter with Chartist advo-
s.. Mr. Close's speech was an admirable and
-..ttrzatrAensive exposition of the question of educa-
f/, and leaves little to be desired in the way of
LiCizmation as to the actual position of the Church
m ..-mkrence to the present educational crisis.
Tile -allusion in Mr. Nolan's beautiful speech to
,411 p izte lamented Dr. Tattershall, was gratefully
-arzni by the entire meeting. The solemn still-
IftirST, that in a moment pervaded the whole Assembly,
Jez mrticl how completely in unison with the feelings
to speaker, were the sympathies of his audi-
4==, 11S he paid an eloquent and deserved tribute
th memory of departed worth and learning.
Sqls:ily gratifying to Mr. Nolan and his country-
:awn). must have been the reception given to the
-mime of Trinity College, Dublin, when he casually
=s1:1 gracefully mentioned the University of his
ewmvt,rv, in connexion with those of Oxford and
r.4.7:312.-ridge. The evening being far advanced, the
Dr. Carpenter had time for little more
few suitable observations in seconding the
Irazilntion. On the whole the meeting was very
-.3macrx-.4z-sful.

77: Tr. carnage, which for four days made the
t of Paris literally run with blood, has at
ceased. The fiendish energy of her th0u5,x..4.:16
,x..4.:16 of starving artizans and thieves has been
out; and we can now sit down calmly to
,rtn the object of a movement, diabolical alike
-.lFix its consequences and in the wanton cruelty, with
iii7Vsch it was endeavoured to be carried out, and
rairirh has resulted in a sacrifice of human life, un-
muzzle/led in the history of the most sanguinary

The; impression, at first created in the minds of a
-Ik.wer. portion of the British public, was that this
ilmeetierection was the unpremeditated and frantic
of the ouvriers, suddenly dismissed from the
- cal workshops, and thrown upon their own
3e.e.e --ec_tes, at a period when employment had left its
,Lez.ee...a7.7 channels; that it partook of the character
ere tlose disturbances, which have occurred in times
,:rehation of trade, in the manufacturing districts
*se ...es country. A closer review of its features,
• sr,e-': ever, chews convincingly that it was quite dif-
element and in finitely more dangerous in its character.
It was riot a simple ertto?!te, but a premeditated effort
zt !solution. The plan of operations, in the first
7.3.0•1t.S laid down with consummate military skill;
tree _details were of the most perfect description, and
materiel must have taken both time and money
- -provide, to a far greater amount than could be
eeurned to be within the reach of the destitute and
~;reeate classes, engaged in the outbreak. Its
:,.E.:-.1:77.',,ane0us character, of itself, forbids the idea
-fir: entertained of its having been the effect of a
ebullitien of popular:passion. There must
iia•vz been to produce it all the elements and ma-
. -eery of an extensive and thoroughly organized
eseass-piraey ; stratagetic skill to lay downethe scheme
.mot: the Works required, aided by local knowledge,
-11=e17 flea ample supply of money and ammunition.
Amel,.above all—and, perhaps, this is its most clan-
Arttrous feature—there must have been amongst the
azravirators the most entire confidence in each
at...:er, and-the most perfect subordination, without
vsziaiern it would have been impossible to mature such
'meat operations with the secrecy which characterized
-Vat: ;preparations for this insurrection.
There must have been, then, mixed-up with the
mein who fought at the barricades, confederates of
3iro-ene standing and influence in the world, a con-
!iis-esion. which it is deplorable to have thus forced
Impon•us, when we consider the atrocious objects
tr... which the movement was-resorted to—viz., the
o;Kflage of Paris in the -first place, and finally the
exeepleodriction, in even an aggravated form, of the
-707-est excesses of the reign of terror of the first
itEeeeiteh revolution. It is almost inconceivable that
'..i.f.idesee can be found men of education and standing
ik...caciety willing to ally themselves with the dregs
- aprthe streets and the sweepings of the prisons and
f..-enegalleys, for the promotion of such measures as
• -'_,oQta contemplated by the communists and so-
rists—ready to convert a civilised nation into a
ieat community of fiends, and to wade through
4'421; of blood and unutterable infamy for the
erxecmplishment of a mere vision, the prompting of
le.„dis;ea.sed and distorted imagination. Yet such
7.zteil are to be found by hundreds in the demo-
, exrlißed metropolis of France, pouring _out the
zioisori of their infidel doctrines through the
malstrins of the press and in the clubs and salons.
`They are to he found even in the assembly itself.
...T•fir the hopelessly poor man, or the incorrigibly
.IE-Khonest, we cannot wonder that doctrines, which

..mconise the right of men to help themselves to
property of their neighbours, should possess
x.gractions. The recklessly dissolute may see
---izz.uty in a system which inculcates the abolition
i.cif,a.ll moral ties and the utter destruction of social
,rialencies. But, amongst men of a higher griide in
r-imcation or social position, we repeat it is almost
..ime,_ppssible to conceive the possibility of their being
..siLtaTtained, unless we pre-suppose the existence of
,a,eamplete distortion of intellect and principle.
:'Ssich a distorted state of feeling does exist in
- -lEzance, and pervades all classes of the metropolis
esszyviialiy. It has grown up beneath a godless sys-
Item of education and of life ; and been sedulously
_ metered by an infidel press and a shameless and
:=erupt literature. It was this feeling which ex-
.l3raise,d itself in the clubs of Paris, from the lips of
.431wl men as Barbes and Blanqui, Flocon and
:,Scibrier : and the same, but in a coarser phase,
-Tstiaieb. dictated the atrocious war cries used by the
insurgents, and the still more atrocious butcheries
-,--zummitted upon the unhappy victims, who fell into
'weir power during the struggle. From these we
lrzow now the extent of the danger from which
f:re.nce, and, we may add, Europe, have been
-gics..tched by the firm conduct of the troops and
IGtiards engaged in the cause of order. A day's
Athsamph of the insurrectionists would have deci-
.zzaated Paris, and perhaps razed it to the dust ; and
ould have driven forth its fierce and demoralized
;population to carry the torch and the dagger
roughout France and Europe..
:For the present we have escaped this danger;
:nut the snake is only scotched, not killed. The
.sanguinary spirit is only kept down by the strong
c 4 of military power for a time, to break out
"ith•ie* 12 on the first relaxation of the watchfulness of
:Authority. The mob have learnt a lesson from the
mast struggle. Unsuccessful as it has been, it has
Aught them with what comparative impunity to
thamselves such a struggle can be carried on; that
,Ithe finest troops in the world fight at a terrible
41.;rfadvantage against barricades and in close streets ;
-mad by those classes who formed the bulk of the
--trumbatants who resisted so stoutly—by the libe-
ated convicts and professional thieves of Paris,
-with the hope of unlimited plunder and outrage
JAaare them,—no amount of danger will be regarded
-attfficient to deter them from further efforts. A
*O4 valve must be found somewhere to get rid of

such a population. However strong a form of
government may be adopted, the existence in Paris
of a hundred thousand unemployed and half-fed
artizans, mingled with twenty thousand desperadoes
of the worst class, is incompatible with the main-
tenance of law and order. They must be draughted
off wholesale, and their leaders, however high in
station, must be placed beyond the power to do
harm ; or, as the alternative, we can see only before
our eyes the prospect of a military despotism in
France, and the commencement of another disas-
trous crusade against the liberties of the world.
