has been granted for the education of the people in

the proposed recipients, namely, the Establishment
and Dssenters, are opposed In their views to
the manner of applying the funds One party in
sists on the reading and study of the Bible forming
one part of the education. Another Is opposed to
it, on the grounds of such course being likely to
lead to unpleas dlssenslons; whilst the bishops

In darkness, at which,, it the truth were told, the
ministry may not be I'll pleased. In the meantime
the poor suffer by these delays for they are nvari-
ably told when they petition for political equality
and rights, that they must wait and can only have
them when they are sufficiently ducated to exer-
else the trust, when placed in their hands, with
discretion. At all events, the delay arising from
the differences of the conflicting parties, is deep
injury lnfllctt d on the working man, which there
seems no present probability OF being removed.
The hands of the editor of the Times still In
the gutter. He has been bespatterlng General
Cavaignac with dirt, to prejudice HIM in the eyes
OF the world. To accompls h this he desecrates
the memory of the dead, and blasts the character
OF the living An obscure print at Bordeaux,
furnishes HIM with materials to charge the father
of the neral with saving the lite of citizen. at
the cost OF his daughters virtue, during the first
revolutionary outbreak. The victim was stated
never more been heard of. To rescue HIS fathers
memory from so foul charge, the general lns-
tuted inquiries, which were no sooner undertaken
than 1t was discovered that the eldest son of the
asserted victim was similarly employed. The re-
suit has proved that the charge Is utterly false
the lady, whose name is SO cruelty dragged before
the public, not only denies any ind lgnity being
offered to herself by the late Colonel Cavagnac,
but shows that she never left Bordeaux, where she
has long been respectfully married, and Is the
mother of a large family.
The result Of the American Presidential cleo
ton is anxiously looked forward to here, by the
government and the upper classes Upon the re-
suit will depend much that affects their political
interests. Indirectly, Ireland is the thorn that
sticks and testers In their sides. The well found.

IN the States may prepOnderate the side of Glass;
fills the arlstocrats with alarm And well it may,
as America, at favorable moment, when Eng,
land Is distracted, either engaged with foreign
power or domestic strife, might strike blow un-
der which she might not only stagger but fall with
an lnflctlon that might make it impossible to re-
sumo her former posture. This contingency,
added to similar uncertainty in France, on the
same momentous questions, entail most painful
suspense on those whose consciences remind them
occasionally that they have some misdeeds to
answer for
The English public have latterly been painfully
interested IN a variety of disclosures, which 90 to

nave been perpetraed, tor the sole purpose of pro-
curing money from burial societies, to which the
guilty parties belonged. In one case, wretched
and ignorant woman had buried, in brief interval,
no fewer than three children, which realized her

ten different societies, which she subscribed to,
beng ninety-slx dollars for the lnterment of each

hundred and fifty dollars This has happened IN
great, free, glorious and humane co lntry
whose people pay million and half sterling
year to keep up an African blockade to protect the
black slave, whilst its government will give
nothing to educate such woman this. Educa-
ton might not wholly prevent an evil like this, but
1t would lessen the chance. Atpresent, the amount
OF crlmepn England shows, that a frightful mass
arises from the people being brutalized and ground
down by the inhumanlty and injustice of their ru-

republican vine by the corrosive irrigation he has
been applying to Its roots.
The latest accounts from Ireland by wire show,
that when the troops removed from the hill OF M-a-

place. At Drombane, the chapel bells were ringing,
and large armed gatherings were at Castle Otway.

expected In France, Louis Napoleon being at the
head of the poll at Paris, and elected for several
places IN the departments. IF he makes no false
step he will probably be the first president of the
republic. The communists follow him in the
malorlties. Cavaignacs popularity is waning;
and it is feared he will not hold his ground
much longer The whole of Germany is still very
state The Frankfort Parlaments, and Its various
sovereigns will reate such a conflict of interests
as will make German republic matter OF ne
