~- EDUCATION nv ErcBAND.-f3o~ better evi-
dence is required to show The rapid increase Of
vice and crime among an nnedncated people,
than is contained in certain remarks recently
made before Parliament by Lord Ashley. when
he brought forward his motion for an address
praying her Majesty 'sfnmedia,e consideration
Of the bes, means ofdiffusing moral and relig-
ious education among the working classes.-
After enlarging on the general Importance of
education, and the great increase Of population
dnring the present century, he drew the a;ten-
ton of the house TO the present state OF crime
and ignorance. and Of moral and intellectual
degradation in Manchester, Birmingham. aud
other popuous districts, among the lower
classes, especially by the younger portion Of
them. Drunkenness, cnrsing, promiscuons
intercourse with The sexes, were frightfnlly
prevalent among the youth. They knew no
religion-no God the only knowledge possess
ed by great numbers Of them was that of the
exploits Of Dick Tnrpin, and Jack Sheppard.
Lord Ashley stated further, that it was re-
markable fact. that the better educated poor
were no, found among the insurgents in any
uf the late disturbances. He thought that if
the present deplorable state Of the uneducaed
masses continued twenty years, it would pro-
duce convuIsion which must overthrow the
whole fabric Of society. Too much money
canno, be expended in the cause Of Education,
and we earnestly hope that this subject will
ever receive the high consideration OF our ru-
lers.-Eve. Gaz.
