mit to the thraldom imposed by this bill : he »* : a : inid for every person in the conntry . without refere : ;? -e to religious distinctions , a sufficient education , the national cost of which wonid be irne economy , in the abatement of immorality and crime . air Aclakd was averse to a division of edacation into religious and secular ; and hoped that no alarm would be raised on absolute principle , seeing that the success of the bill , which he honestly supported , would depend on the spirit in which it was carried into-operation by all classes .
Mr . Fhascis Babikg wonid be filad to seB introduced amongst the body of trustees a representation of the rate-payers , so as to give them something like a control over the expenditure of the money whicn they would be called upon to pay . It was of great importance that the bill should be carried , not by dint of numbers , but by cordial support and cooperation . After some observations from Mr . Hardt , Mr . Milseb Gibson said he had so many objections to the bill , that he could almost reconcile h to himself to oppose the second reading . The provisions ef tho bill were confined to cotton and silk mill 3 , and it wonid therefore operate as a displacement of labour , by driving children to pin-making , nail-making , & 3 . This was no imaginary difficulty , as was evidenced by the operation of the school
clauses in the existing Factory Bin , of which Mr . Sacxdbus , one of the factory inspectors , reported that they had placed the young persons in manufacturing district ? in a worse position than before , and had prevented no less than 4 *> . 000 children from entering factory employment . The vice and immoral ty complained of did not exUt amongst those regularly employ ,-d in cotton factories , in which the strict discipline was favourable to good habits , but among-t tr . e unsettled and migratory population , whom the bill would not reach . The compulsory attendance al church on Snndays would be viewed » s 2 very jrr ievous opnre ^ ion by the working classes of Lin cashire , whrre it would be felt as an infriDgpment of hbprty to be deprived of the op ' . ion of having their children ' s company . A nojh «* r objection was the deprivafion of Jbe constitutional right of control over the expenditure of the funds raised for
education . 2 tir . Mis- VBKS Sxtttos thonght that the operation of the present measure would be to attract young persons to factory employment , instead of driving them from it . Mr . Cowpeb was satisfied that , looking to the state of the population , and the conflicting claims of rival parties , ibe pn > ws £ bill was the most practical measure that could be proposed . Lord Ashley vindicated himself from the imputation of neglecting the rural population by stating that tha documents from which he drew his facts
relalea-to the dense masses in manufacturing towns ; and , though he did not hild up the agricultural districts as faulrless , he considered that it was the duty of landed proprietors to see that their tenantry "were bronght up in loyalty to their Sovereign , and in the faith and fear of God . He adduced some details to shew the necessity of the ImIL ; and seeing that there was a disposition on both sides 10 find > ome oommon point oa which they mishi unite in the great werk of education , he entreau-d the Hou ^ e to secure the present , blessed = »» a-on of opportunity for wiping away our national disgrace .
Mr . Cobdes tnrw . from his own experience , that Dissenters were not of themselves sufficient to carry out a sebeme of national eoucjrion . But the msjoriiv of the working clas = es in Lancashire were either , Dissent-ors , or of no religion at ali ; and ihey "Wonld oiject to be con = pe'led to pay rates for instruction in tne t ^^ eis of tne E-tabiL-htd Chu rch . Th »* depravily of 35 anchp-: !» r had bp ^ n = pi cially .-xh'bited ; but ihe very ^ aiish in which the Hou « e of Commons stood W 3 s more depraved than anything that could be shown in Manchester ; and a large portion of the property in it brisked to the D-an and Ccapter ot Westminster . He did not adduce this , or the condition of the asricnl'ural districts , as a reason why no reliidoiis instrocnon sbocJd be afforded to
Manchester , bit as an evjdince of th * neglect of the Caurch , and as a Droof that the present measure did no * t » ke a ,. sutEcieaily < s&and-d view of the subject of education . Sir R . H . Ii . gliH had claimed lor the Church tbe right ol b = ? m £ tne " supreme instructress " of the people ; but the Lho'ch had grossly Delected its dnty , and had no riirbt to throw any obstruction in the way of general or secular education . The Dissenting ministers in the north oi England had no cisposuion to oppose any raea . ~ u .-e of secolar instruction ; bai the Cnnrch ronsed jealousy a ;< d aninios'ty by p-rpetually intru ling its claims . Ho would no » oppose the second reading of the bill , because he was anxious to promote auy mca » nre which tended to improve our grossly deficient system of education ; bnt there were clauses in ii which wonid be fatal to
its operation it not altered . Mr . Darby be'ieved that a secular education was no guarantee of a moral population . -After some observations from Mr . B . Hope , isrrd Joh > - JU'ssex was glad that this di ^ 'Ossion had taien place , and b * d been conducted with fmper , as it wouid rend to promote a similar spiru in the coud'tj , and ultimately promote the common obj . - -ct . The fact of a large majority of the manufacturing districts being Di .-senters , must be taken inro account in passing such a measure as this ; and there were various suggesiioDs which might promote hs smooth working . One important consideration was a normal school for the training of a body of proper schoolmaster ? , for which the House , he was convinced , woaid wiUinsW vote an additional grant .
After a few observations from Mr . Ross , the question was pai that the bill be read a second time , which was earned , aad the committee seUled for Fri- 'ay next . The other order ? of the day were then disposed of , one of which wa 3 the third reading of the Dog ' s Bill , which met , as Lord A kthuk Lennox complained , with a dogged opposition . A division was taken , and the bill was carried by 66 to 43 .

NOTTINGHAM CHARTIST PETITION . The following is tbe Nottingham Chartist ' s petition , ajfreed to at the Democratic Chapel , Rice Place , on tbe 21 st instant To the Hoxourab ' e the Commons of Great Britain arid Ireland in Parliament assembled . The Petition of the inhabitants of Nottingham in public meeiijig assembled , Sbeweth , —That ynnr petitioners deeply deplore tbe disturbances which toet place in August last , and
being opposed to anarchy , confusion , and violence , they feel bound to state their conviction that much of the excitement and the evil consequences arising therefrom were produced snO prolonged by tbe unconstitutional , arbitrary , pnd factions cocdnct of some part of the magistracy , which conclusion your petitioners have arrived at , from tjcts ¦ which at that time transpired in the district in which yonrpetitioners r-side , and which facts they feel convinced that th < = y gh&ll be able to prova if inquiry was instituted for that purpose by your Honourable House .
That the conduet of the magistracy Dot only had the tffec" of pro 3 onjjir . £ the disturbance , bnt i many instances their treatment of the parties who were apprehended dnrins ? and subsequent to the same disturbances on charges of being connected therewith , "was unconstitutionally and uineot-ssarily severe , and fonnded npoa an assumption of power ¦ unkno'wn to the laws , which your petitioners submit is tbe worst of tyranny , and a grievance and oppression to which her . Majesty ' s liege mbj-cts ongfct n « t to be subjected , and in otfcer instsccr-s . as wm tne case in the district in which your petitioners reside , tbe manner of selecting the parties previous to their ex imination wbo were bo apprehended ,
and the expressions made use of by the magistrates at tbeir examinations , and the means which were made nse of to obtain tbeir convictions , upon their trials , and at -which trials in this district the same magistrates ¦ who apprehended and committed the prisoners presided , -was an ontrage np . on the proper and impartial administration of laws , and as snch was calculated to lessen the respect for the la'ws , and cause a repulsive feeling to exist towards those who administer them , to the great detriment of her Majesty ' s liege snhjecls snd the p « ace of these realms , instead of producing those S 32 u * - -iry efiVcts which wottlfi arise from a due administration of
justice-We therfciore hope that you will institute Buch inquiry as will lead to a full investigation of the facts of the case , and prevent as far as m&y be a recurrence of the liie lamentable circumstances , and your petitioners ¦ will ever" pray .

TO THE ED 1 TOB OF THE NORTHERS , STAB . SlB .. — On Saturday last , £ he millocrats of Holrofirth , ancrite neighbourhood , called a public meeting for th « pnrpose or adopting a petition , prajing for an immediate repeal of the Corn Law * . Having leceivbd an invitation from the Caartists of the above locality , 1 attended , and on Friday evening , delivered a lecture in the Chartist room , on the snhject ef Chartism , and the fallacy of Corn Law Repeal , unless accompanied by other measures . At the clow of the lecture , 1 lavited discussion , but no person appearing the Chairman remarked that as he knew there were many persona in the room , who were opposed to Chaitiani , and its principles , and as they had now an opportunity of meeting an advocate of Chartism , ha hoped they would avail themselves of tha opportunity , and at ouw come
| ; forward . I The Chairman called upon a member of tbe League who was then present , and who bad previously expressed a viih to meet a Chartist in discussion , but even this gentleman declined the invitation , though couched in courteous and gentlemanly terms . No opponent appearing , the meeting then terminated , the best feeling prevailing in favour of Democracy . On Saturday afternoon , I again waited over te Holmfirtb , intending to take a part in tbe public meeting , but no soontr had Thrived in the Graveship , than J was tcld that tbe constables had received orders to arrest me , if I dared to attend tbe meeting at the Town HaH .

respite of this threat I went to tbe meetiri ^ -. there found a great number of the working c ! . !* spb w&ttiiu ; cuts * de , and as a considerable time had elapssc ! , and the door = —unopened save whtn the L . ^ raa eavadmittance to those" of their own party , I requested the Chartists to appoint a chairman , and was just preparing -to deiiver a lecture in tbe open air , vhun tbe door was opened , and I accordingly entered with tbe rest and made my way to the platform ; no sooner ha-. l I gained the same thnn I was rudely mei by three of tae League party , who immediately told me that if I did not immediately leave the building they would ciye me in charge of the constables , who wera then in attendance ; one of the three asked me if I was no inhabitant of the Grave ( referring to the Graveship of
Holme . ) I told him that I was an Englishman , and as snch would not answer his i ; sotent interrnz-itiona Another of the League ( whose copper-coloured face displayed his devotion to the bottle ) displayed h ' . 3 intelligence by calling me a " D—d Tory tool , " and heaped upon mo erery nngentlemanly epithet his malignity could devise Daring tbis altercation a chairman was proposed hi a way not at all to be admired by the friends of fairplay , for the gentleman who took th-3 chair was carried bv some twenty persons , although thfre could not be less than 700 or Suopcrsons in the room , notwithstanding which the gentleman took the chair , aud after a sbortspeecb intro . ' nced a Mr . Ti / tker totbv wt » ting , who opened fire by stathn < thai tue wuikii . ^ classes of this country were perishing by thousands ,
atid all in consequence of the operation of the Corn Ltwb . How such men as Me . Tinker dare venture to remind tbe poor of their poverty , when they know full ¦ well that thry ( the manufacturers ) have , by tha introduction of machinery , done more tocrn . « b the labour of the poor , than any other body in existence , is beyond my power 3 cf comprebension ; but , Air . Editor , much has been , said of the dangerous sentiments of Ctiartisni , ami tbs folly of i ? s leaders ; will it be bi licvei that this . Mr Tinker , actually told the meeting tbat he wouj . i tather see the poor p * -mii by the sword than euVmiit to be starved out # f existence . Ho doubt he would ; 1 . 0 doubt he could like another strike , anotb . fr commission , another league outbrtiik , in order to intimidate ih « Government and cruth at the same time tbe stem and unyielding principle of democracy , which has hitherto
laughed to scorn tbe malice of its nt-nd- ) ike foea . Mr . Tinker spofce of bn-iking up the foundations of society , and by expressions such as these strove to spread abroad the venora of his malignity ; but the workiDg men wonid not listen to bis wild rhapsodies , and he was nit - by such a burst of terrible txtcration , that be turned pale and Beem « d ready to faint . At this critical moment , some of his friends hnnfl ^ hhii ,-i : i orange , and he tucked and stamnierud , an'l shuuk anil stormed , nioie like a maniac lhan a Christian in a :. Talk of sucking pics , but this gentleman , although much given to granting , nevertheless he , on Saturday Isst , displayed , for the amusement of his ru Uence , a ' i ! the properties of a bucking goose . Tbe Ltaeuers were perfectly paralysed when they witnessed the s ' . ronu spirit of opposition ¦ which Mr . Tinker ' s spttch hail crea ' ed .
The Chairman , nevertheless , introduced another gentleman , a pt-rftct D : uiosthci'es , a fair sample of miadlc class intellig- nee . 1 would ha-ve sent you the pith cf their arguments , bnt , alas I I am unable ; for nothing like argument , ¦ was pro 4 uced . Nothing bnt fustian , fume , rant , anil vnlcar declamaton . At this poir . t <> f the proceedings , the Chairman was about to put tbe iv . tion . but he was shopped by Mr Cunningham , ( a dartist and an inhabitant of t > o Grave ) , who movid an amendment to the orijjinn ; motion , which ho did in a masterly manner . He vt . s followed by another Chait st iwho « e name I am nut acquainted withi . ¦ who nobly performed hi * duty . Tbe motion and amendment were then submitted to the meeting , and tbe amendment -was carried despite of the macceuvrinc of the Chairman .
At this siase of thft proceedings , the disappoint ?! LtragneTs seemed ar . x ^ cus to kick np a row . Accord - ingly , not wishing to cive them a pretext , 1 told my friend Cunningham to give it out from the platform that 1 wonlii proceed to the Chartist lecture room , ami deliver a lecture , in the course of which I would provthat the J > . agners concocted am' carried out the lati < strike , and that 1 woui . i admit dwrnsion come from whatever source it might . When Cunningham njide this announcement , a pirtv of the L ~ : umers rushed upon him . End the ruffiins cut him from the lip to the chin . 1 myself saw hi 3 arms livid and »' . isc-oloured from the effects of the treatment
he aet with at the bands of ihe « - ! u ? ld and mercenary g-mlemen . But to be brief : 1 l . cturd to a largi- a'ul animated audience ; instancing the or . dnct of the L * a ? uers , their frequent attempts to crush Chartism by bludgeoning its advocates ; their conduct during thv stnkw ; and the means tak ^ n to i ff-ct the same . I challenged discuBsirtn , but in vain . The creatures of th < j League , although present , wore dumb , aud durst not speak ; ami from the spirit displayed by the Chartists of fiolmfinh , I feel assured that th « humbug question of repi-al wiil not be levived in Hoimflrth agdn for some time ; for never did the Leaguers txptrieiice a more signal and inglorious defeat .
Mr . Tinker stated that the . Lt-ugne did not , like the Turies , empioy an Irish oiator . What an egregious ass this Mr . T . must be , or be would have knowa that the Lt-ague owe much to the service of the G ta * . Irish orator , O'Conuell , not to mention Irishmen wuh long names , fuch as—R . R . R . & < -.., and many othtr 3 tu whom I might alluile . Hoping you -will sjive tbis a place ia your next , I remain . Yours respectfully , Ori behalf of ihe CUanists of Hohnfirth , D . Ross .

Wr . Baron Gurnry—You may hold your convictions as you pleasu , K : r ; but you have uo right to ho ' l out to the people that the Government is t ^ ranaiuai that ' s a crime . Tbe Defehda . kt—1 will contrast / my ( anguage with that used in 1831 by the - > iery inagisUau . who cMUimttev ! me . I am the disciple of the agitators of that pe-. iod , and , whll . it following tbeir example , the language attributed to me is much less iuflauiuiatory than tbat which I can show was used . Mr . Baron Gurnet—I cannot allow it . Tbe Defendant—Contrast the language used by me with that used in 1831 by Mr . Mullor , one of tae learned counsel for the prosucution , wuich I will rrurt from tbe Leicester Chronicle . ' ¦ JVIr . Barou Guuney—1 will not allow anything yon are supposed to hava said to be justified by what might have been said by other peopia . I have nothing to do with that .
The Dbfenpakt—I am merely saying that I did not use such expressions as were used by these Ken'lemeu , even supposing that what the wituertes have uftid is true , which i flatly deny . 1 am not goiDg to put them in as evidence , my Lord . Mr . Baron Guhney—Very well , it cannot be given in evidence , and therefore cannot , be { introduced hero . The Defendant continueu—If he bad expressed hfs opinion of the police , his own class had been v ill tied with impunity . Had they not been oalled a dirty , unwokbed , swinish multitude . Upoa tbe paltry evidence which the jury Lad heard he bad been dragged from bis bed at midnight to & gaol , and kept four weeks in
confinement there waiting for bail , fle was on his way borne to Liverpool , bis native town , vvben he was invited to deliver the lecture which had batn complained of . Two persons went to the Mayor to ask if they ought not to meet He said he did not know whether they bad a right to do so or not Why did he not send a policeman to tell him he ought not to be there ? If he had done so , he ( the Defendant ) would have left . Instead of which he said he would hold the lectuier responsible for tbe peace of the town , and he was willing to be responsible . No disturbance of any kind bad taken place . But there was a secret cause for this prosecution—be was a Chartist . j
Mr . Baron Gurnet—You are not charged with being a Chartist here . The reason why there was no farther disturbance might have been tbat yon were at on % taken into custody . i The defendant—It is of no use for me to proceed farther with my defence . I would convince you , gentlemen , of my innocence if allowed to adopt the line of defence which I had matked out fot myself . Defendant went on to observe—What became of tbe boasted tight to assemble publicly jand discuta tbeir grievances , if they Were to be draa ^ ed away to a cmugeon for expressing their opinions at peaceable meet-

The Government delivers to tbe companies , free of all charges , the land required for the vrhole lit . es , undertakes to complete the earth vforks , tunnels , bridges , &c , at its own expense , and builds all the stations and termini . The companies bbvc to defray only the cost and laying down of tho rails on roads constructed and levelled at the expense of tbe State , and to find the engines , carriages , &c , for the working of the lines . TbeBeriortB txpensts -which have attended the formation of railways in England , viz , the purchase of the land , and the construction of the wcrkfl , are thus avoided in France , and the liabilities to error in the calculation of the cost are brought within very narrow limits .
The French Government -will grant a lease of the line for a period of from 35 to 45 years , rent free , at the expiration of which term the Government is to take possession of the railway , and to reimburse to the company the then actual value of the rails , engines , carriages , & . c , to be determined by compete , t valuers named on each side . France *? ill be much traversed when her railroads are down , and tbe mere bo , because vre snsptct travelling -wui i >« much chtaper than in this country . — Briuhlon Herald-

Is should be known that the public works in the Uaited Stntcs havo been partially , and in many instances , totally sueoended since the failure of their banks . At the present time , they are -wholly suspended . It bos , however , been anticipated that tbese works will bereenmed in tba coming season . Bnt , jadeins ; from tbe speech of the Governor of New York ( the richest State in the Union ) , and tbe public press of the Unit-, d Stated , little hopes can be eDtertained of tuch an . icipitioi . s being ri > :
ilizpri-TberH - blic 'Woiks in Canada proceed very slow ; and are magnified by the press into ten times their renlity Tte wa ^ es are much below the current wages of America , and tbe work is gtnerally dmie by that ir . ffcrn .-il bar . o . piece-work—douWe the number of men being frequently kept to ¦ what the stone will employ . These things , together with tbe unhealthy situations in which the works are going on , make emigration to tbis couDtry very precarious and un&dvis&ble , especially for those that depend on tbe : r trade for subsistence . The only class of men we could at all advise to come to this country , are those with families , having a little capital—Bay about £ 100 ; wiih this they could , if judiciously managed , purchase a good pl t of land , which would maintain
the family in comfort , and Berva aB a resort in dull times on -which to employ themselves and families , dnring tbe suspension of their trade . Those in this pohition are the only class of tradesmen tbat are m a way at all to be envied . Tra'ie fluctuates so much , and jobs are so far asunder , tbat a man absorbs what he gains on one job in looking for another . On the other hand , the produce of a farm sells so low , that a man has to toil hard for a mere Eut > s stence . 3 This climate , too , is very disagreeable to many Europeans-, ip summer it is excessively hot ; in winter , extremely cold . Tbese disadvantages , with the store pay system , ( truck Bystem ) and other evils too numerous to mention , will at once make it evident , tbj > t emigration to this country , under present circuu . stances , can by no means be advised .

Rn applied many foui terms to the police . He called them blue v ; impircs , nonr . natoii by a certai : i party . Hd
th « n ri ^ lftd what weio the necessary qualitications fot a poiiceman , and saiU h-J muat be a man of no character , gifted with lying , deceit , i . nd chicanery , bloodthirsty ; imi ikeeitful , ready to do or swear anything hia masters wished him . He said ha call- d them the unboiled blue , and whtn the duy of boiling came , woe to the unboiled . H-j then spoke of the army as 140 000 hired assassins . Uo went on to show that the protony of the poor nun waa not protected , aud , pointing to a factory , said , " If a poor man was to go into that factory and stenl a quantity of oily , dirty siutF , not worth sixpence , he would be apprehended as a felon , the magistrate would call him a felon , and he would be sent to prison for his offonce ; but what was dom- to the muster or manuf « tctur « r who , by tbe aid of
Riachintry , robbed the poor m .-. n not only of sixpence , but five or six shillings every wotk from his wages ?

After ho had unished his diBCuUrse , a hymn was given out by him j two or threebyinna were sung in thx course of the evening . One began with :
" Men of England , ye are slaves * Briiten by policeuitue stages ; If tbeir force ye dare repel , Your * will bu the felon's cell . " That was sung by t ? 4 e peoplo . defendant gave out two lines at a time . I went away aftt-r that . He gave some noticd of bis coming to Leicester ngain , and hoped he should see thtm again .

Tho churches and chapels had be . ; n vie terl by large bodjes of men in procession .
O « pa-exanimtd by the defendant—I heard you say Sir Rubrtt Peel and Sir James Graham were two moat unhappy men , in this unhappy country at this unhappy time—iU ujihtei )—and that th « y had brought all thoir f ;; rc < s to bear against the people during tbe late stiUK ^ le for freedom ; but it hnri only proved that their power was too Weak to put the Chartists down whenever thpy were prepared to dtin » nd the Charter , if tl . ty -would bo but firm and united . I don't know whether you sai < i when they were strong enough to get the Charter the Government would not oppose tiltni . I don't Know whether jou said that £ 9 . 000 had been eolkettd at one meeting to christianize tha blacks , and at another £ 5 4 s had been collected for the relief of the
destitute poor of the country . I did not take a report ot make tot * s of your addi ess , Afterwards I put down the observations which you made in a rough manner , antf then again , by ld-jfcing them over , I remembered more particularly what yea said . I have seen a copy ot my examination befora the magistrates since I was txn mined . I received it from the attorney for the prosecutiuu a few fiays back . I went to the meeting by desiro of the governor of tho borough gaol . You did not call upon the people to i-a : ike an attack upon any JBan or Sfat of men , nor blame tbe law for protecting tbe rich . There was no tumuit at tbe meeting . The only noise arose from the responses to your sentiments . There were moba of people before you came te Leicester but none after . .
Re-examined—Defendant was taken into custody the same uigbt . Thomas Agar , a sergeant of police , corroborated some parts of Marshall ' s eYidence , varj ing , however , the ? xpressions .
