ALEXANDRIA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. %, 1872,

We are more and more convinced every da,
that if the institutions, and laws and liberties n
this country are to be preserved, it must be .f
fected by general diffusion OF knowledge and
extension Of EDUCATION among the people-fron
the richest to the poorest man in the land
Where there is no national education, thor.
can be no durable legislation" Where III.
mass of the people are ignorant and unnform,
ed, there must be room for the Vaccinations a,
demagogues, and the arts and tricks of desioO.
ing political knaves. Public knowledge is II,
basis of Public Virtue, and Public Virtue is II.

"Therc is a mysterious light that directs ns

his process is not through the tardy avenues Of
syIlogism, nor over the beaten track Of anaV'

For whilst other minds vigorous and cultlvalea,

Economical mode ofpreparing Food for Cart

which are kept in Liverpool for the purpose of
delivering the coal brought thither from his
Lordship's mines, like most Of those used for
draught in that town, are particularly large; and

this description of horse, we certainly have seen
nothing equal, take them altogether, to his
Lordship's teams. They are fed in the follow
ing manner:-Statement of the nature, quanti
ty, and cost, ofthe food consumed by ten horses
during seven days. The outside current prices
are charged for each article, and Of course, the
different states of markets will vary the cost Of

been adopted in Ireland, as also in America, is
well entitled to be called economical.

translation Of paragraph of letter from gen
teman who is well informed, through direct
source, of the state OF things which led to the
late dissolution Of the French Cabinet. The
facts given may therefore, beimplicitly relied on
The letter is from Paris, under the date OF 18th
Nov.
sin consequence of intestine diSsentiOns, the
old Ministry was dismembered. and after ten
DAYS useless efforts, could not re compose
themselves. The King decided, at last, TO take
an entirely new Ministry, tie chief OF which
was the Duke de Bassauo, formerly Imperial
Minister. There were very honorable men in
this Ministry; but they had not come to an I'M
derstanding on the most important questions. In
consequence, there was disagreement amongst
them at the first debate. The first question
brought up was the American Debt, and it so
happened there were three of the new Ministers
who had voted against the law last year. They
consequently declared, that even if they were
convinced that they had been mslrd, they would
not pledge themselves to present the project of Il
law The King insisted, and declared it was
| necessity, under pain of a war. in which he
would not engage himself They all resigned
at the end of three days; SO at this hour we are
without Ministry; but what is certain is, that
the old Cabinet will come back with some mod-
fcations. 1t is the only combination possible,
and tits fortunate one for the indemnify of 25,
600, 900"
1t will be gratifying to the American people
to perceive, that the French King regards will.

in good faith-that the delays have not arisen
from disposition on his part, to defeat by ind.

right-that he has taken a stand in his executive
