SPIRIT OF THE ££ Q > S P BESS . { Fran our Contemporaries ef this Morning . ) SaaPTUBAL EDUCATION . Xew proofs axe eonikrcially presenting themseTres of the necessity that exists for s large extension of the means of Scriptural Education in this country . The sadden aad " -wide ; spread cf the principles of infidelity , under the much misapplied name of " Socialism / ' among the ignorant part of the population , raid the number of men "who ha-ve been persuaded to < sntemplate a total change of our national institutions by " physicalforce" are deplorable-evidences of that gross jrnoranc « which leave a populace open io be deluded oy the shallowest and most dangerous sophiaus . When ire examine the statistics of Education , and find that so large a proportion of the population is uneducated , and that thexa do not now exist schools in which they could possibly be
educated , we cannot be surprised that errors of monstrous ° tzc , should spring np , and threaten to-cerropt 3 if not to destroy , society . A siKiKrsG proof of the want of Scriptural Edu-• ation , and of the bad effects it has produced , xra 3 exhibited in this town on Wednesday last , when the Mends of Education and of the Scriptures met , according to public announcement , to promote ' the education cf the children of the poor , on the catholic and Christian principles of the British and Foreign Seho <) l Socam .. That Society 13 a . Tulnntary Association of persons in the upper and middle classes , ivho benevolently contribute iheir money te ' aid the tcorking classes in obtainhig ihe bat possible educ ? iionfor their childrenat ihe tnost moderate cost
, The Society docs this by ^ promoting the formation of schools , by improving Yhe p lans of instruction by publishing books ilkstra ^ ive of iho = e improved plans , and by training young persons of both sexes i ' ortlie important office of teachers . Its head estab-3 i » hmeiit is the Borough Hoad School in London , " . viiich . may be safely pfoaounced one of the best ? swfe in the irorld , perhaps the Tery best , and ^ Licii to a baserolent mind is one of the most de--irsbtful spectacles tobeseen in the metropolis . Prom lais establishment excellent ieachers have gone forth Cu psblic schools in all parts of the kingdom , and . several are in fHw io-we . Jn the schools of the
Brit : ? c ; isd / Foreign Sehool Soeietv , boys and girls are fdreated with a view to ihe best " development cf - ? eir minds , the improvement of their Leart 3 , and the f . tiing of them for £ t ? lions of usefulness ^ in life U £ c zirls lesm se ^ dp ^ , knitting , and many branches of" hessewifrry , s ~ -xeU as the " most , important Lrasihrs ofgenerii knowledge .

Seen beinz the character and operations of the 2 rhish and Foreign School Soekij—so purely bene-Tolent , so enlightened , so five from all party " , or sectarian spirit , so conducive to the best interests of the population , but specially of the poor—it might ^ seza an impossbiliiT ' thai 3 jit set of men , bni more - particular ] y men connected with the working classes , ih / ould regard it with any feelings but those of pleasure and gratitude . "What might have been supposed En impossibiliiv , howaver , ~ ha s actually taken place . Gb Wednesday last , as we have said , a public iteet-5 % of the friends of Scriptural Education was held in the-Cusuaer- hil Buildings of this town—the room
Laving been engaged ty Xisut . Fabian , the active sr >] Toilazitcropic agent of the British and F oreign tchoi-i Society—for ihe purpose of extcmliag the iCIeney of the Society . A set- of those deluded men calling themselves " Socialists , " with one c-f their lecturers or sinister ! , named Fleming , at their cead , aad oiher notorious Socialists and Chartists—Sot these two denominations eeem to comprise the same- individuals—assembled by previous coaceri ibr ? hspurpose of defeating the benevolent cWect of the meeting ? Their sasibers wore sufficient for the Sarpose , and their very firs ; act showed thpir etenninsnon to overturn the proceedings of-the friends of Scriptural Edncition . XJeuteuat ;

Joshua JTo&son , the Socialist and Chartist priatoy of iLe Northern Star , should take 'ie chair . A great j . siober of hands—we believe a majority of those ii ? ihe jroosi ^ -was raised for the amendment : the

"W ' e aeqnit them of hostilirv U <

We mass conclude , thereu-tc , thatthsirhosuiity arises solely from the fact that , r ' ~ -- Soly Scriptures are Tea&asd taught—da 3 y rr ad :- - . admircxily taught—in the schools of the j * Jr : ilsh and Foreign School Society . And we repeal , 'di ? -l this oppositioiiis indeed lamentable evidence of the need that there is that Scriptural Education ieald be extended much farther than it is at pre ,-*"; ax . ll is one of -ih » most striking proofs that has come-to our knowledge of the spread" of InfideBty , 'in-l of tb . G audacity witii rfiiea infidelity is Taow - " pi'aly assailing ifrnns Revelation . Still more Kaentabie is it when we consider the frightful diaricieT of the system called " Socialism , ' which is

" Snch _ 2 re the principles of llr . Owen , the founder and apostle of " Socialism ; " and we 1-ii } h \» they are substantially held by his followers . With this hideons system extensively prevailing , i £ 2 tkiBjr its real , features under the sednctions of iuu'de oad ^ aBGing , alluriiigit 3 dnpe 3 with visions of 3 common stock of property , and making large prof ?« ions of beaeTolence , the Christian public axe Kirelv called npon ta testify , their sense of . the eyils « :- ? - * Socialism , " aiid of the unspeakable importance '

Verily W 8 begin to fear that our local Boasell ilagistrates- ? rill be the death of us , as they have been of their own magisterial reputation . Scarcely aweekpasses over our heads but something occurs which places in melancholy contrast the conduct and character of the men -who hare undertaken to be the conservators of the peace of this borough ,-with the character and condurt of the gentlemen who , for political ends , were made to giTe place to them some three or four years ago . Our readers will remember the unenriablo figure which the
¦ Leeds Jnstices cut when called upon to adjudicate in the case of White and Wilson , charged withconspiracy to aid the Chartist plan 3 . From day to day were those men remanded , until copies of the depositions could bo sent to the Homo Office , and instructions received from thence as to the disposal of the accused . Ultimately the defendants were committed to York Castle , -with great parade , no fewer than a dozen Magistrates , wno had previously been sat for an hour and a half in solemn consultation on their case , being present on the Bench when the committal took place , and when bail was refused .
We have a vivid recollection that wa had great difficulty in refraining from langhing outright jat the formality with which the Mayor consulted Sis magisterial brethren as to whether the defendants , or Air . Clarkmu tneil solicitor , had urged anything to induco them to refrain from committing them , we having heard , some half hour before , an order given for a chaise and four horses to b » got inreadinesi to convey them to York . But the best of the joke remains to b » told . We statedlast week that the two defendants , White and Wilson , had been liberated on bail , by order of 2 \ ir . Justice Littledale , -who had ^ xed the * mount of their recognizance * a * » T » ry small sum . We have sine * learnt that when tho Magistrates made their return to the order directing them to transmit the
depesitions against the defendants to the Court of Queen ' s Bench , in order that his Lordship might judge from their perusal whether it was a case in which he ought to interfere , they did not confine themselves to th » mere sending of the depositions ordered , but they had also the folly to annex thereto the letter of INlr . -Phfllip ps ^ the Under Secretary of State , containing explicit directions to them not to admit tho defendants to bail . Whether this was done as an excuse for their harsh conduct , or to show to his Lordship that they had on all occasions such humble ideas of their qualifications for the magisterial offioe , that they did not-venture , « ven in such a trifling case , to act without advice lroni the little Lord who had treated them , we are unable to say : but wi » « an state that the Learned
Judge was much surprised at such a procedure , and said it was decidedly improper . S ? dag the Iamen » b 3 e figure that our local Magistrates exhibit in this " matter , it would seem a ] mc- £ t impossible that beneath the depth to . which they have been already plunged there . -. should be a deeper still . Yet , unhappily , so it is : the exhibition which Mr . Justice Mnsgrare made of himself at the Brewster Sessions , . on Monday , ( an account 61 which we have reported elsewhere ) , must grieve all who with to see tho Alagisterial authority in this borongh respected . We- cannot trust ourselves to speak of the conduct of any man who seeks by the use of any influence which may temporarily appertain to him in his public capacity , to promote his private interests ; we therefore leave the report to speak for itseifl
A strong sensation hasbeen created in the borough by a report that the only new license which was issued by the Borough Magistrates at the Licensing Sessions on Monday , was granted only on condition that the parties applying shonld defray , the costs incurred by theso magistrates in resisting an appoal against a former order of theirs in JBrewster Sessions , for the refosal of a former license to the same house . Wo are xeluotant to believe that there can b » any truth in the rumour , but we mention it in order to giro the parties concerned an opportunitj of setting thomsBlTes right with the public . The magistrates of Leeds cannot , surelv , have so far forgotten their official oaths " not to sell justice , " as to have given any real foundation for sucha statement ; if they Bare , they hare greatly degenerated from their immediate predecessors , whose places they 30 nnwortliilTiold . - . .
liesides ccsung us twice aa much as under the old system of corporate Government , their public duties are not now half so well or satisfactorily performed as under the old regime . —Intelhgenoer .

THE NEW BIGOTS . "We refer to another column for an account of a scene at a peblic meeting convened on Wednesday last , in the large foom of the Commercial Buildings , certainly of the niostlatolerank description we have ever witnessed The meeting was convened for the specific purpose ol hearing information on the subject of the plans of the British and Foreign School Society ; the room was engaged , and the chairman advertised ; and a large m » et in ^ of ooa sexes accordingly attended at the hour appointed . "When ito advertised : chairman "was called upon to preside , however , he -was received with nootinrs ; another chairman ~ was proposed by a party which had previously packed the room ; and without even the j \ . r : n of cZvxing ihe several proposals lo be put to the meeting , the latter yraa unceremoniously bawled into ihe chsir .
Mr . Joshua Hobson may have been quite as well q'ailiSed to occupy that position as Jfr . Edward Baines , M-P . —the advertised chairman ; but certainly the mode of procedure adopted by his party to place him there , ¦ vr . ia an outrage upon all the order and customary on ,-uch occasions . As well might any uproarious party -1 street-Brivriers have packed tho Socialist place uf lyt-ttiai . and -riolwitty put a stop % o its proceedinga , bv ondnct similar to tiiat of the combined Chartists aacl Socialists on this occasion . The room was engaged tnupaid for by Hhe parties who called the meeting for th > . - evening , and , ttierefore , was as mnch their property during that peri » d , as the Socialis ; Chapel , in Soatli Pnrc . de , is Hhe property of the Socialists , who occupy it for their purposes , pro tempore .
lu iu > t , suca attempts , 11 persevered in , must strike at the : root of a mast importan * privilege—that of free puoiic liiscussion . Any knot of organized claqueurs mayUito put down meetin t 8 called togethw for the best ] .-os « ble objects , and effectually interrupt the deliberative proceedings of every public body . A small frattional minority in » population may thus" as offectnaJ 3 y cfceci all public discussion as the most oppressive edict of any government . Conduct such as was displayed on the occasion referred to ; is , to say the least of it , by no means calculated t * j-ive impartial observers a hi ^ h idea of the principles entertained by the parties who could en ^ aae in so disgraceful a seene . To us it appeared as if the issue of the rankest bigotry and intolerance . The putting forward of their Priest , especially , by the Socialists , thus to put down liberty of diseussion , smacks far too much of the old bijotry t « be at all to our Wring .
We are aware of ihe exasperation which has been engendered by the late Whig attempts to put down Chartifit meetings , as irell as by the contemptuous tone -which has been assumed towards this p 3 rty by the journal represented by the gentleman advertised to take the chair . But all this we hold tolwno excuse in pallintioa of conduct so revolting and outrageous to all the rational usages of civilised soiiety , as that displayed during the opposition ef Wednesday evening . —Times .

We have expressed , in our first edition , our curiosity to know how the Mercury "wauld seekto extricate its Proprietor and Editor from the undignified position in which he figured on Wednesday evening . Here , then , we have it , and a enrious rpecinien of Mercurial logic it is . The far gT eater portion of i ' ac- Mercury ' s long article is devoted to laudatioi' -- of the British and Fore : rn School Society , and to abuse of the Soeialisrs . Tiiis is a very fiiinsy covering for the disgrace of Jlr . Baixes .

Foreign School Society , which we regard as a .. Teryvaluable Educational Establishment ; but we cannot permit even a deaerred eulogium on this sooiety to be made the meani of diverting attention from the disgraceful conduct of Mr . Baimbs ; much less of transferring the dium to other parties , vriioh is evidently the intention , of the" MerewyV ribald abuse of-the Socialists . " VVe hat « herer admitted Theological diseussion into our paper , nor shall we ever do so ; we- leaTo therafere tht attaoks of the Mercury on the principles ^ of Soaialism to bo Foreign School Sodety , which we wgardM
answeredby tho S *« alist 8 in their own organ . We repeat that the importance and value of th » British and Foreign School Society was not / ' questioned at the meeting ; the question of the character ndi tendencies of Socialism has nothing whatever to do with 'tht meeting ; and ! these two matters have merelybeen very clumsily lugged in by ^ ^ the Mercury for the purpose of shielding Mr . Bukks from the well deserved expression of public censuTs for one of the most shameless insults evar offeredi to an assemblage of Englishmen . This , however , shall not serve his turn .
As a public man , Mr ; Baines is fairly open to public censure ; and he may rely upon it that neither stratagem , sophistry , the wilful peryetsion of facts , nor the invention and bold : promulgation of falsehood , shall screen him , so long as ih * Northern Star exists . It may be all very well for Mr . Mercury to wriggle and writhe ; but we shall take leave to hold him pretty tightly to the faets : and we imagine that whoever looks fairly at those , will see Mr . Bautes in the character of one who is cither
utterly ignorant of all the decencies of civilised life , or determined to defy and outrage them ; while he will see , in tho Leedx Mercury , the wretched bully who backs out his pal without the slightest regard to truth or fairness , and tho contemptible hypocrite -who lies with a religious front , and outrages every principle of morality , while whining about the "importance of Divine Truth , " and the lamentable disregard thereof by iufidola .
The facts of the case then , are simply those : —A "Public Meeting" of the inhabitants of Leeds was called together to " consider th © best meana" of helping forward an object which tho promoters of the meeting denominate a "National " , one . The Mercury chooses to call it a "Public MeetiDg of the friends of Scriptural Education . " This attempt to narrow the character of the meeting , is in full keeping with the invariable tactics ' . ' of ^ the Mercun / , ' which are , whenever facts are wanting on which to ground its reasonings , to assert them at once , and talk as if
they actually existed . This narrowing is intended to justify his blackguardly attack upon the Sooialists , as though the character of tho meeting had precluded their right to interfere . Uiifortunately for onr nei ghbour-t credit , this , like mosS other of his false assumptions , cannot bo justified upon the plea of ignorance ; the placard calling the iaeeting , and containing no ntch restriction , having beau printed at his own office . The llet&ury , therefore , naust have known , and did know , that the meeting was oona fide a meeting of the inhabitant * of teeds . Now , every ehild who ha 3 kiown or heard
anything of publie basincsi ; in England / knows that no right is more distevetly and UDirersally admitted than the right of every " jmbli * meeting" to came the person who shall proeide over its deliberations . When we consider the amount of power which eonventionaliuageplaeea in the harjds of a Chairman en such occasions— % powor to antoy , harass , ard interrupt the speakers by ^ frequent objections to their line of argnmeni , or to refuse putting to the meeting motions that may bo brought before him , « n the plea of their being irrel « tant , —it will be seen at enoe that this , like almost , erery
other universally a «» epted etiquette , ha « its foundation in rational propriety . It is always regarded , therefore , and rightly bo , as an impu-i dent slight to th » public , for any parties haTing the management of a Public Meeting , to advertise a chairman . N « one know * this hotter than Mr . Baines ; and his paltry setf-stlfi « i < mcy and vanity in suffering the " M . P . " to be thus paraded in his person , by the ignorance or . th « diseourtesy of hia friends , was well and properly ^ rewarded by the indigoanoe of the meeting rightly expressed in his unequivocal rejection . But though it was an impudent ^^ thing in Lieut . Fabian to advertise lir . Balms , and not lesa impudeaiin Mr . Baines te permit himself t « bo adTertiwd . aa
expected t * taka ohair , " the bliokgnardisni of his attempt to held it , in defiaoire of tho meetiDg , surpasses everythiug in the annals of publie bnsiness in this couutry . If it ever had a preeedent > it must have been in some irunkery disputation of the lowest charatUr . We arc not willing to believe our . religions" M . P . likely to hav » thut learnodit ; and must therefore give him : the credit of having invented , and made the \ first experimen * inj ibis mode of conducting publie . business . If we annot congratulate him upoa that sort of success which he might have desired to attend hiaefei «< in this new sharaotcr , the fault is net oura , but that of the naughty publie who rofused to submit to hi 3 dictation . .
Thig is tLe very head and front of tho offenoe cpmmittwl against Mr . Baines ' s " dignity" on Wednesday night . Mr . Baixm was vain and foolish enough to imagine that because Ihe ton pounders of Leeds , or a pcrtien of them , had eommitted the indiscretion of empowering him to write "M . P . " after his name , they had also empowered him to treat , not only themselves , but the whole publie of Leeil 3 , with whatever indignity he ohose : the meoiing thought proper t » convinpe Mr . Baines that if he did net know anything pf common civiiity and good manners , they did ; and they gave Mm a practieal lesson thereon , which we opine will not be seon forgotten by the Honourable "Member . " -
The repert of the . pre * eedings , as given by the Mercury himself , bears no evidence of the slightest attempt on the part ef any one to interfero with , or thwart the avowed object of the meeting . The sole matter of offence was tho impudent attempt to ihrustthe " M . P . " down the throats of the people , and te bully them into submission to the awallow . The people spued Mr . Bainm npag \ in ; and the Mercury thinks it a very 'Sun ^ nannexly ? ' thing that the ill-mannered *' Member' * should be thus treated . -:.- ' ¦ - :. '' : ¦
We have n * doubt that if the offended Dignitary and his indiscreet friend , whom the British and Foreign Scheol Society , —exhibiting , as we think , very bad judgement , have appointed thoirernissary —had been " mannerly" enough to allow the meeting te proceed , peaceably and orderly , that the : bjeet of the meeting would have been attained , and- "that the' excellent Society , for the promotion of whose interests it was called , have no one to thank but their wnomissary , asd his friecd , the " unmannerly M . P .., " for the discomfiture of their expectations from the people of Leeds . We are not like the JMertwry , ^ assertingfalsehoods , and reasODitig from tnemasfaeta . ^ We speak of the actual ocsurrences of the ttTening . We refer to the Mercury ' s reportj dressed-np for the occasion
as it evidently is , for the truth of every word we say ; and -yve repeat our assertion , that no attempt was mad » by any one to thwart , or iaterfore with the avowed object of the meeting ; and wo will add our belief , that if any such attompt had been made , it would have failed . It is , indeed , a wretched and paltry evasion of factsr-a vile and filthy covering for Air . Baines ' s want of common decency—in the Mercury to seize upon the slender
circumstance of Mr . Hobsos ' s happening ; to be a Socialist , to divert thaattention of his readers , from his own misconduct and the consequent indignation of the meet ing , to the popular prejudices against the Socialists . 2 >\> t less vile and fiscally is ; -bis attempt , io . strike a faint blow at Chartism through the sides of Socialism , h \ iusinuaii ^ ^ that these two parties are one and the same—the . truth being , as he well knows , that they liuve ne niuuaer of eonnexion with oaeh other .

O , no ! we begthoil /^ c ^ Vpardon . / "Lies come so thickly , they areihard to count 1 " ; There h yet another j > topf ; tie assertion tjiat Mr . HoBSOii was propolejd to ; the chajr b y a Socialist . So saysi the leading articlo of the 3 fer « ir ^ ; the fact being , as testified ¦ ¦ by / tho : Mercury ' s-xe ^ oH , that th& Chairman was proposed by Mr . G . Whit ? j whom the Mercury as well as ^^ eyerybody ^ else in Leeds knows to be anything but a Socialist ; and thai Mr
SxAwsFiitD who seconded : the / nomination , is a M 6 thpdi 8 t Locsd Ereacher .. This lie will , of course , do Eomething toward inducing peoplo to believe the unsupported assertion of the Jtferc « rjf , thatMr . Baines was ejected from the chair , by the Socialists , who had- " assembled , by previous concert for the purpose of defeating the benevolent object of the meeting I" and not by the good sense of the inhabitants of Leeds , for ^ his impudent thrusting of himself / upon them , unasked . We
are : quite sure , however , th ^ t we fiay now leave Mr . Bainbs , who will hereafter ho long : remembered as tho " fli-manne ^ ed M . P . " and his Becond self , the Afercyry , of veracious notoriety , to enjoy the blushing honours -Which this night ' s adventures heap upon them . ; andto receive , the congratulations of all fair , honest , and respectable persons , for the successful manner in which the interosts of the British and Foreign School Society haVo been sacrificed to the peraonal Vftnity of Mr > Baines . ,
Our contemporary of the Intelligeneer i with a policystrongly characteristic of his party , chooses to exult over . ; the-whole affair , as a mere flooring ¦ ¦ of the Whigs . For this purpose he cdnfounds together the British arid Foreign School Society and the Ministerial scUctfto for " National Education ;' - speaking of the meeting aa a 'fflrst attempt to prop up the Ministerial scheme of Natipnai jEducation . " Now we imagine that bur contemporarycan scarcely be ignorant of tho fact j that . the British and Foreign School Soeioty , aud tha Ministerial scheme of Educatipri siro : two different things . He represents the indisposition of tho meeting to submit to the insolent personal dictation , of Mr .: Baines , as arisiBg from an oppoBition to the object
of the meeting , and accordingly ho says '' the opponents of the infidel ^ ^ Ministerialschemc 1 mustered in great numbers . " No > y we must again repeat that there is iio evidence furnished in the report of th » Intelligencer ^ ;> ny more than in that of : tho Mercuty , of . any attemptj oi- even , of any intontion , to opposo the object of the meeting . It wa ^ simply a personal matter between the meeting and Mr . Baines . The whole question was whether the " M . P . " should parade himself ; like a peacock with his tail outspread , as the lord and master of the meeting—or whether he ¦ .. Bhould be . made practically to recogniso the constitutional procept , about -which ho is fond of ^ prating , that the people are the iegitimatesource # f allpower .
We shbn ] d have felt no surprise if the Intelligerieer , * "Tort" Papery openly ; and ^ thereft ) re honestly , opposing democratic movements , had demurred to the right , of the Meeting to appoini their . own Ghairman—and hadi -m ^ ported the ? ' advertised chairman ^ in his assumption Of aa ondelegatod i authority . We opine , however that the friends , of freodom will be somewhat astonished ' at the course ; pursued upon this
subject by the Leeds Times , ] which prbfesiies to be an esseatiaUy tiheral Paper of the " Rational Radical school . " the Time * is shocked and scandalised at the " outragepus '' proceedings of the parties who refused , on Wednesday evening to bow down and worship lir , Baines ; and he / dilates upon it , in an v article which though less lengthy , is equally aisingenuous with that of his excclleni compeer and ally , tho Leeds
Mercury . He starts ^ off by saying , " The meeting was convened for the specific purpos * , « f hearing informa , tionon 1 iue enojoct of the ^ uiins of the Britis h and Foreign School Society . " Now : wo arc Tery sorry that our Contemporary , before writing this sentence , did not read the account given by Ms 6 wii Reporter , or look " at-tlie placards by which the meeting was called , aad . -which 'were posted on the walls all over the town ;; because if he had h « -would have seen that the meeting was not " conyened for tho purpose of hearing information , " but for that of ' taking into consideration the best means of oxtending the
important object of the British : and Foreign School Society . " This was a subject of discussion which might havo called forth a Tariety of opinions as to 'the various means of doing this , which might have been brought before the meeting ; irad this of itself was a sufficient reason why no Ghairman / soou > d have been advertiaod ; and why the meeting should have been naturallyHndlgriant at any such procedure ^ There was nothing ; therefore ,: wonderful , nor anything which ought ; to have excited the displeasure of our ; Liberal . contemporary , in thefact that' ' ' When the advertised Cbairhiari traa / callea upon to preside ,-ho was received ; witii ho 6 ting 8 and howlings . "
The assertion which immediately follows that on Mr . HpnsbN ' s being proposed forthe ; Chair , he was " unceremonlousiy bawled : '" into > it , without even the form of allowing the several proposals to be piit to the ileeting , " and / which , thai it may be strongly"marked by his refers , ' hB-h ^ i > rbite ^ -Ui Xteuci -T ? - # : c 4 n Bcarcely deal with , in termg which wo would-willingly ipply to any Journal professing to adyocate Radical principles , if the : i ^ t <^ of- tbe : ..

Ho too , like bis friend , the : Mercury , lays the-whole blame upon tho Socialists , whom he affirms to have " packed . tho room ; " he laments most feelingly that this should hs | ve been done ; talks of it as being " calculated to istrike : at the root of free public dvseusBibri , " and as : '' conveying to impartial obsirvers no hiih idea of tho . prinpiplea ; of the party who could engage in so disgraceful a acehe ; " but , like hia mpndacious ally , be , too , forgets to ; ' furnish any evidence that : this was done . His talkingv « f the Socialists" putting forward their Priest" is even more contemptible , while it is hot less false ; than the ravings of tho Mercury . /
He makes . a great point of the room ' s hayingboen engaged ,: and paid for , by the . parties who called tho meetmgfor the evening ; In this he nitghteeinitoihave had his cue / from his friend the i / ercary , V Who also makes a gr «» i merit ' / ot ' tie saine thing . We know not as to the fact of whether the roonv iiad actually r | cen paid for ¦ in / adyancei not being aware of what the . requirement of the trustees of the room mi ^ ht have been : bui this we do know that we have again and again attended Lieut FABIAN ' S meetinjis on behalf of the British and Foreis-n Sdiool . Society , in Tarious places ; and that in every instarico collections were lnade at the Meetings ; anA other moans resorted toy for the purpose of raising money , not merely to . defray the expenses of the room , but also ( those of the Society , to further whose , obiectstho meetings Wer ^ hdldeu .
We cannot suppose ; there was any iutentiontpmiko Leeds an OXCOptipiL Had the " uninanneriy bniwle' -s allowed- tho" meeting te . go on , we should : doubtless have learned , tbat . uithen : estimjition , one of tho "best means" of extending the important object of the British and Foreign School Society , would be to subscribe liberally to ita funds upon tho spot .
