      May Sports, Old And New. Old England—Que...

      MAY SPORTS , OLD AND NEW . Old England—Queen Bess—the May Queen—and ihe Dance on the Green—have often been vaunted by poet and historian , who were fond of depicting Elizabethan England as a scene of Arcadian pleasures . Of the beneficent sway and virgin innocence of the good Queeu Bess , Maiy _, Leicester and Essex , the slaughtered Irish aud the executed Papists , could , no doubt , most abundantly tell . We have read , too , of a stately Court-Pageant held on a May-day by her virgin Majesty at Greenwich , and that the lordly courtiers made rather too free with

      tne rustic Queen of May , whereupon the English Queen , waxing jealous , reproved them , wail even boxed my Lord of Oxford ' s ears , a pugilistic predilection which Ehc was wont to evince on more than one occasion , as Lord Essex also practically experienced ; but notwithstanding these May-festivities of the olden time " like us not , " they lack the true spirit of festivity—freedom . There was abundance of good cheer—but it was the vassals _' joyatthe master ' s alms . Even this faint echo of olden jollity has faded away—and the only

      relic of these nationai festivities has dwindled nto an old lady ' s annual breakfast to chimney sweeps ! It was reserved for Democracy to renew May-day merriment , on a holier ground and from a purer source than that from wliich it ever drew its _inspirations . Instead of being the short saturnalia * n which Labour forgot its pen alty of Poverty , and rank condescended into a temporary equality of amusements , ( a satire upon class-distinction , ) we look forward to a National r " esUval , commemoiative of Labour's triumph , and the assertion of Man ' s

      equality , when the Chartist Freemen take possession of their promised Land . It is more than the land of which that day will hold out a realized promiseil is the guarantee of a new era in man ' s social and political existence . In _another part of tin ' s Number will he found the speech of the Prussian King on granting his _ucw ConstiUition . He inveighs bitterly against the idea of a piece of paper thrusting its pale face between himself and his prerogative , while

      he forgets that the best page on which to write the Charter of men ' s liabilities , is the soil of their native land . We bave always held that the dead letter ofa Constitution was a nullity , where the living spirit of freedom was not abroad among the people . Legislators carefully frame tlieir Acts of Parliament so loosely , that it is commonly said a coach and horses may be driven through their every clauses ; hut were thev even framed with all the strictness with which

      the expounders of that law can bind the unfortunate victim who falls into their clutches , Monopoly would still And means to turn and twist them to its purposes , where not deterred by the determined attitude of tbe people themselves . The palladium of the British Constitution is but a golden armour for the rich against the poor ; and the only security for the observance of justice , is the power to enforce it . That power cannot support itself on air ,- —an abstract principle , though it can never die , may _subside into a negative existence ; it requires the

      corporeal reality to in due it with action , to give it the power of bearing forcibly on the phases of society . As a great thought is lost without tlie tongue to . speak and the hand to execute , so does a popular movement , based upon a great political truth , need similar practical agency ; tlte slave requires a moment's respite from despair to collect his energies , and frame his plan for thc campaign against Monopoly ; he wants a p ' ace of shelter , where io recruit his strength and gain breathing-time in the struggle . ' , This is given him in |

      the Laud . We look on every Chartist farm as _, an oasis ia the desert of Monopoly \ where those , ' who are not yet themselves on thc promised Land , may gain fresh courage far their pilgrimage . __ It is a focus for Democracy—since the gossips at the cottage door will talk of " the past and present , —compare what they suffered at the hands of other * , what thej won at their own ;—while thc passer-by

      will say : •— " Whose are these beautiful cottages ?" and will be answered : " They are the homes of men , who saved for their children and tbeircbildven ' s children the money others hate squandered at the beer-shop or the tobacconist ' s . " Then will he aay to himself : — "Now I see at last that the hour of Monopoly has gone by ; working men are grown thrifty , frugal and united ; when the millions combine , it is time for their tyrants to tremble I "

      And the foundation ol all this will be our May festivity!—a festival of great joy , but ol mighty import as well— . Working men ! do honour to the day : for it wiil be a saint .-day in Labour , calendar and a holi day in tbe religion of Humanity !

      Th_ -Tkisat -Unmli .._Un-Ml._*Ger. When ...

      TH _ _-tKISAT _-UNMli _.. _ _UN-Ml . _* GER . When we formerly asserted that Prussia would be the first despotic monarchy to receive a Constitution , we were not deceived as to tbe nature of the concession extorted from the hands of Prussian Royalty . We knew that the under-current of popular feeling was at work , bubbling slowly to the surface , and throwing up its sparkles in tbe Press . We watched the Autocrat , seated upon the hollow glitter of his throne , eyeing in turn the bayonets of his army , and the aspect of his people—and we saw it was merely a matter of time , as to how long the worn-out fortress of Prerogative would be able to

      sustain the siege of youug opinions , we beheld the monarch , 1 'ke an insect on the brink of a precipice , alternately putting forth one feeler , then another ; first cautiously endeavouring to check the inarch of innovation by the hand of Power , then shrinking back terrified , and attempting to win an artificial popularity by the tongue of deceit;—an alternate dealer in bayonets and claptrap . At one time imprisoning men , because they dared to speak like such , and then buying the shouts of popular favour , by granting amnesties to those whom he should never

      have condemned ; now cowering back under the shndow of Russian supremacy ; then stepping forward iuto the light of German nationality , while the people were heaved to and fro , like a ship beneath an unsteady helmsman—now roused to anger , and then again lulled into confidence . But , although this game lasted long—too long—the wary king saw that the lime fov temporising was gone by ; the Press spoke out too plainly—the people might be deceived once too often—the hour had arrived for the next great move in the drama of Kingcraft . ; '

      We can well imagine the spirit in which the king framed his opening speech : be was obliged to mount and ride the horse Kevolution , or be trampled under its feet ; but , after mounting , he endeavours to rein it hack . At first he tells the Diet of " the noble edifice of representative freedom / ' subsequently heinfoims thera , they are not for a moment to imagine " they are to play the part of what are called representatives of the people . " He speaks as the " heir of an uuweakened crown . " Did he not say to himself , " My crown IS weakened , or I should not be obliged ' ¦ to enact this farce to-day ? Ah ! my father was a " lucky man ! It is true , he promised the people a " Constitution , when Napoleon set his foot upon his " neck : but wben they had saved his throne , then he

      " refused compliance , and was fortunate enough to es" cape constitution-free ! Hepreservedtheunweakencd " prerogative ; but tunes have changed , and erowns " must yield . France and England have got an " awkward knack of dealing summarily with rcfrac" tory kings ; Prussia may learn the trick ; and 1 " have no particular inclination to become a royal " martyr . Well—1 shall succeed yet—bribery . " place-hunting , and patronage , will do my work as " well as tbe uuweakened prerogative . " Bear wit ness , England— ( theking alludes to England in his speed ))— " where there is as glorious a despotism ' * as heart can desire : —bear witness , France , where " a Constitution leaves the king all his power , and " relieves him of all his responsibility . Yes , —

      con" stitutious ave the cards for kings to play ;'—and thus Frederick William gave his _subjecls a Constitution ! Ah ! It is a sign of the times when kings are reduced to tbis extremity ;—constitutions are extorted frem despots , —and , grand proof of popular progression and royal weakness ! without a bayonet being reddened or cannon fired . True , the measure is but a mockery—it gives the Prussian people the glorious privilege of voting money whenever the

      king wants it , while the latter may _raue taxes without their consent , whenever he is obliged to resort to that last argument of kings , —the bayonet . Bnt , though worthless in itself , it is of paramount importance as tbe herald of popular victory . Despotism maintains its throne but by tbe hand of Force—prove that it is not iuvincible ; make it retrograde once , and it is lost for ever . This has been done in Prussia . No doubt every nerve will be strained to exclude all democratic dements : no

      doubt bribery and Government patronage will tell as powerfully in Prussia , as in France or England ; but it will be only for a time . The bird of Liberty will hover near the nest it has once built for itself , and scare the tamed and dazzled eagle from the beautiful land it bas made its prey . The king seems to have felt the truth of this when he says—I Know , certaiuly , that many will mistake and

      despise this jewel—that to many it is not enough . A portion ofthe Press , for instance , demands outright frrim me and my Government a revolution in Church and State . * * * But Prussia , gentlemen—Prussia cannot bear such a slate of things . Do you ask , why 1 I answer , cast your eyes at the map of Europe—at the position of our country—at its component parts ; follow the line of _otar borders—weigh the power of our _neighbours .

      A significant hint that Russian bayonets or Austrian hussars would be brought ovor the confines by the first symptom of enfranchisement ' , and his Majesty as significantly tells them—You are free to bring petPions and complaints , after mature deliberation , to the foot of the throne . Those are the rights , those are the duties of the German orders ; this is your glorious vocation . But it is not your province " to represent opinions , " or

      bring opinions of the day or ot this or ot tbat school into practical operation . That is wholly un-German , and , besides , completely useless for thegoed ofthe community . 1 here eivc you my royal word that I should not bare tailed you together had 1 the smallest suspicion that you would otherwise understand your duties , or that you had any desire to play the part of what are called representatives of the people .

      This is frank , at least , —this is , iudeed , a *¦ glorious vocation . " It reminds us forcibly of th e old gentleman who held a shilling out of one window of the postchaise , and a shilelagh out of the otber , and told the postilion , — " You drive as I tell you , you shall have tbe shilling—if you don't , you shall have the shilelagh . " But we strongly suspect this Chamber of " Petitioners , " though it may be venial now , will gradually become imbued with more democratic elements , as the " pressure from without" begins to tell , and then it will neither care for thc shilling , nor be afraid of the shilelagh . That Press is still at work , of which the king

      says—Jin a portion of it a dark spirit of destruction prevails—a spirit that entices to revolution , awl tiv . deals in the most aadacious falsehood , disgraceful to German fidelity , and Prussian honour . May it go on exposing the " dark spirit of destruction , " that inhabits thrones , —the " audacious falsehood " of " royal constitutions , " and the truth of that great adage , PUT NOT YOUR TRUST IN PRINCES . ******** r _** _r _+ _*****^ _Q _0 _^****** _++ _**^ _r-f _** _W _+ *

      Parliamentary P.Ev1ew. National Educatio...

      PARLIAMENTARY P . EV 1 EW . NATIONAL EDUCATION o . THE GOVERNMENT

      SCHEME . The mental destitution of England bas _supersciltd for the time being the Irish Famine in the Ilouse of Commons . Mr Duncombe ' s motion of Monday night , for referring the Government Scheme of Education to a Committee of Inquiry , has occupied almost the undivided attention of thc House , with the exception of Wednesday , and it is not improbable , from the other amendments on the paper that the subject will continue to occupy the Legislature for some time to come . Thc paramount importance of the question will fully justify any amount of time that can be bestowed on its consideration :

      and whatever may be the immediate result of the discussion , it will no doubt tend to promote a clearer -comprebension of the bearings of a subject which lies at the very foundation of national and individual well-being . The aspect in which the question now presents itself in Parliament , if not altogether satisfactory , is still gratifying to those who have watched its progress . Many of our readers can , no doubt , remember the time when the _ielea of thc working classes needing any education at all was scouted as being most absurd , ureposterous , and even dangerous to

      the Constitution as by law established , by " noble lords" and " hon . members , " and all tbe idle classes who lived by preying upon industry . The permanency and security of our national institutions were supposed to be guaranteed by the ignorance , brutality , and debasement of the " lower orders . " So long as they could be made and kept " the great unwashed , " all was right with the classes who basked in the golden sunshine of Church and State , We have lived to see a great change of opinion among a . classes on this . point . From whatever motives the avowal may spring , none now advocate

      ignorance as a social blessing—except , indeed , that peerless and enlightened City knight , Sir Peter Laurie , who lately , from tbe height of his magisterial chair , assured the wondering auditors that education was the parent of crime , and that the increase ofthe one had multiplied the other . ' With this famous exception , which , looking at the peculiar character of tbe worthy kni ght , may perhaps be taken , like all exceptions , to establish the rule—we repeat , all classes , however they may differ as to thc mode of giving instruction , agree that education ought to be universal .

      But at this point divergence takes place . One party takes its stand on the principle that the Government has no more riglit to interfere in education than in trade ; that , in fact , the instruction of the people ought to be regulated by the same principles of political economy eg they apply to comnicrce _, and that competition , voluntary effort , " buy in thc cheapest and sell in the dearest market , " are principles equally applicable to the manufacture of minds and the fabrication of cottons and cutlerv . Another and a lareer uartv hold and cutlery . Another and a larger party hold

      the opinion that voluntary effort is incapable of imparting either general or effective education . While admitting the utility of tl . e voluntary principle in its own sphere , they agree that there are certain social necessities of the highest importance to physical health , mental cultivation , and moral ex cellence , which it is totally incapable of grappling with . The same reasons , they say , which make it necessary for men , by combined effort , to supply water , light , and drainage to towns , apply to the provision of education , by general and united exertion . Water , light , and _puie air , are as requisite to physical health , as education is to mental : both can best be supplied by combined efforts and under a general superintendence _.

      At this point , however , a fresh difficulty arises , even among the supporters of this general principle of combined , instead of voluntary effort . Who shall have the superintendence of the National Schools * The Church did claim the right , because it was a recognised and established portion of the Constition . It does not now take that ground , it asks only for its fair share of the superintendence ; that is , over

      its own schools . The Dissenters , or at least that portion of them called Nonconformists , which excludes the Wcsleyans and Roman Catholics , demur to even the exercise of that right , as calculated to put into the hands of the Church an instrument of proselytism , which may ultimately utterly subvert religious liberty in tbis country . That is , in brief , the point of dispute at the present moment in the House of Commons .

      To us , the quarrel appears to originate altogether in a mistake , as to the true constitution and functions of National Schools . The duties of man to man , the knowledge how to perform these duties aright , the information requisite to form a usefu citizen , come naturally under the cognizance of the State , which deals with the temporal and political welfare of society alone . Man ' s duty to God pertains

      to another sphere . The ethical problems of society are capable of solution ; the dogmas of theology are not . Whether the advance of knowledge will ever render them demonstrable , remains to be seen ; but , at all events , we are justified in saying , that at prescnt _^ no man can demonstrate anything ou those mysterious aud deeply-interesting controversial topics , which have occupied men ' s minds for ages , and which are as far from settlement as ever .

      Belief we have plenty , assertion plenty ; and respect is due to all conscientious belief and _conscieiitiou * - assertion ; but it docs not follow that because a man sincerely believes in a particular creed , that therefore that creed is right , or that you are to surrender up to him your inalienable privilege of judging for yourself , or of permitting him to inflict what you deem an erroneous belief , on yonr child . A National System of Education , to be advantageous to all sects and classes—to be in effect National must strictly exclude all mere dogmatic or theological

      instruction , and confine itself exclusively to secular education . Religious education falls entirely within the . province of the professed teachers of Religion . It ought not to be introduced into the National Schools , because , in fact , such intrusion must necessarily destroy the _distinctive character of such schools . The teaching of the creed of any particular sect must inevitably exclude from them the children ofthe conscientious members of all other sects . Yott make sectarian , not universal institutions ; and thc instruction itself makes bigote . _insteitd of enlightened

      citizens . There are , however , those who , admittiug thc general correctness of this reasoning , object to National secular schools , on political ' grounds . Thoy see , upon the Continent , proofs of the manner in which National Education is made subservient to the purposes of despotism , and perverted into an instrument for inflicting mental slavery , and political degradation ; and they fear that the establishment of a system similar in Us machinery might tend to the same result in this country . For these objections wc have thc highest respect , and did we believe that they were valid , should be the last to say one word in defence of a National S ystem of Education ; but it appears to us , after having Viven the

      Parliamentary P.Ev1ew. National Educatio...

      matter the most mature consideration , that they cannot be sustained . The parties who urge them leave out of sight an essential element of tbe question . In the Continental Nations , where National Education is established , the Government is more or less despotic , and rules the people . In England , on tbe contrary , tbe people rule the Government . Sir 11 . Peel ( no mean authority on this particular subject , ) has made the memorable declaration"That henceforth whatsoever party may have the direction of affairs , must govern in accordance witb public opinion . " That opinion makes and unmakes

      majorities in Parliament—majorities in Parliament seat and unseat Ministers . The Sovereign is merely the iiidex-liand making their acts ; and by a natural process we come . jack to the press , thc public meeting , the petition , the _huntings , the popular _association—in short , all tbe machinery by which , in this country , opinion is created and governments controlled . Here is tbe great safeguard against the

      political perversion of National School *? , conjoined with that sturdy love of liberty which is indigenous to the Anglo-Saxon race that love of managing their own affairs—of thinking for themselves , anil of speaking ont their thoughts , which they carry with them to every quarter of the globe . All tbe tendencies ofthe age favour the growth of this feeling , and every movement extends the power of tho masses —throws more and more into the bands of tlie

      veritable people , that power in the control of public affairs , which is demanded by tbe great principles of democratic justice . National Schools , so far from weakening that power or arresting those tendencies , would , we believe , increase both , because they would augment the knowledge , which is synonymous with power . The behest of an enlightened national will would , therefore , be irresistible ; and that will would never either choose slavery , or submit to it .

      It was necessary to make these cursory general remarks , to show the reader from what point of view we look at the Debate of the week , and the Min sterial scheme . The latter we have from tbe commencement condemned , on the broad grounds of its inadequacy to meet the evils it professed to remedy j and secondly , because of ita unconstitutional nature—its insecurity , because dependent upon the will of an irresponsible body , and hot an Act of Parliament ; and its possible perversion to the purposes of sects and parties .

      Nothing tbat has transpired during the debate has altered these opinion ? . The Premier himself , followed by other members of the Government , make th .- * - confession that the measure is imperfect . Tlicy agree , also , that it is unjust , especially in its treatment of the Roman Catholic portion of the population . The only apoloev _offired for these

      _iraperft't'lions . defects , mil for this injustice , is , that the Government dare not attempt more for fear of the Church , and that they have been obliged to _exclude from any participation iu the benefits of tbeir scheme , whatever these may prove fo be , a large section ofthe community , in deference to the monstrous bigotry and intolerant prejudices of another section , the _Weslev _. n Methodists .

      With this Ministerial confession Mr Macaulay ' s brilliant speech of Monday night , in _answer to Mv Duncombe , so far from being a defence , is , in reality , a censure of it . lie proved triumphantly , aud in a style of masterly oratory which has few equals in this country ( though we object to some of the arguments and illustrations ) , not only the extent and nature of the evil to he remedied , hut also the right and duty of the Government to act upon it . Why , then , shrink from this duty ? Why allow sects or creeds to terrify yon fr . > m the performance

      of that whieh , on taking the oaths of office , you promised ? Why snccuinb to organised sections of th : community , an . l not only withhold justice , but inflict injustice ? Why , with a clear view of the injury inflicted upou society by the absence of the necessary machinery for developing tiie mental and moral power of the millions , and thereby conferring both a negative and positive benefit on the country of incalcttl-ble value , do you hesitate to propose a measure of which you acknowledge , aud elaborately prove , tbe paramount importance ? The

      Ministerial reply to these questions is the most self-condemnatory ever uttered . They see and know their duty , but they dare not perform it . Instead of taking their stand upon principle , they palter , and peddle , and higgle , ami chaffer for political support they barter thc fate ami destinies of the millions for the votes which , at the next general election , will , they trust , give tbem a place on the Treasury benches for the next seven years ; and having done this they have the astounding effrontery to turn round , and wonder that other parties are no t prepared to applaud them for being cowardly , selfish , and unjust .

      In addition to the general objections we have made to the scheme , many occur to us which tlte space already occupied will not permit us to enter upon at present . One , however , is of such , a grave nature , that it must be referred to the uncomtitu tional nature of the scheme . We have always understood the Government of this country to be vested in the Soverei gn , thc Lords , and the Commons in Parliament assembled . This inestimable foundation of public liberty , won by the valour and determination of our forefathers ,

      should be guarded with the most watchful jealousy . The slightest encroachment upon it is calculated to subvert tbe freedom and prosperity of the people . The minutes of the Committee of Council on Education are , in our opinion , a direct and most dangerous infringement of this first principle of British liberty . They propose to institute a vast amount of educational machinery , by which the fate and character of the people must inevitably be seriously influenced in future , without giving Parliament anv control in thc practical

      direction of that machinery . 1 he plan is dependent ou tbe will of the executive , forthe time being . To be so dependent is an evil of the greatest magnitude . Ifthe schools arc beneficial fo the public , the tenure of their existence is insecure . The Government may by new regulations diminish tbeir usefulness , or altogether pervert them ; there is no guarantee of a permanent nature offered for their continuance on publicly beneficial grounds . The object io

      framing so unconstitutional a measure , we believe , was to escape discussion in Parliament , and collision with sects . It has failed , and , under any circumstances , should be abandoned , Whatever we have , large or small , let it be based upon an Act of Parliament . These arc not the days to acquiesce in stretching the prerogative of the Crown . _Oilier objections may probably be alluded to ou future occasions j meantime , we must here dismiss the subject for tbe present .

It isevideut , however , that the mill-lords and

      political economists are determined to fight the battle to the last : every manoeuvre and trick that the forms of Parliament allow will he resorted to , in the hope that the measure may be so retarded , that its passing in the House of Lords may be reudered impossible , before the end of the Session .
