mit to the thraldom imposed by this h : ]\ : ho rla-ai-d for every person in the conntry , without reftrciiCi- io religions distinctions , a sufficient education , the national cost of which would ba true economy , ia the abatement of immorality and crime . Mi- Acland was averse to a division of education into religious and secular ; and hoped that no alarm would be raised on absolute principle , seeing that the success of the bill , which be honestly supported , would depend on the spirit in which it was carried into operation by all classes .
Mr . FbanciS Babijtg would be glad to see introdneed amongst the body of trustees a representation of-tbe rate-payers , go as to give them something like a control over the expenditure of the money whicn they would be called upon to pay . Ii 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 . Hardy , Mr . Mjlmeb Gibson paid he had so many objections to the biiL , that he could almost reconcile ii to himself to oppose the second reading . Tbe provisions ef the bill were confined to cotton and silk mills , and it would therefore opprate as a displacement of labour , by driving children to pin-making , nail-matins , & . c This was no imaginary difficulty , as was evidenced by the operation of tbe « chool clauses in the existing Factory J 3 iU , of which Mr .
Saotjkrs , ons of tbe factory inspectors , reported that they had placed the young persons in manufacturing districts in a worse pf >» :- ion than before , and had prevented no less than -ifl . frOO children from entering factory employment . The vice and immoral ty complained of did not exi .-t amongst those regularly employed in co * ton factories , in which the strict discipline was fatonrable to good habits , but-amongst the nnsettled and migratory population , whom the biU would not reacn . Txie compulsory attendance ai church on Sundays would be viewed as a very grievous oopre ^ ion by thf working clasps oi Ltd casbira , where it would be feit as an infrinfieinent of librrty to be deprived of the c-pvion of having their children ' s company Ano : h * -r objection was the deprivation of the constitutional right of control over the expenditure of the funds raised for education .
Mr . Misseas Strrrou ibenght that tbe operation of the pre = >^ ni mea : > ure would be to attract young persons to factory en . ployment , instead of driving them from it . Mr . Cow per was Katisfied that , looking to the state of the population , ana the coi . flicnng claims of rival parties , the prr-seut bill was the most practical measnre that could be propa ^ ' 1 . Lord Abhlet vindicated himself from the imputation of neglecting the rural population by staling that the doronwnts fr « rn which b « drew his facis related to the dense masses in manufacturing towns ;
and , though he did not hMd up the agricultural oistricts as faultless , he considered ihat ii was the duty of landed proprietors to see tbat their tenantry were broBght up in loyally to their Sovereign , and in the faith and fear of God . He adduced some details to shew the necessity of" the oil ] ; and seeing that there was a disposition on both sides to find r-ome oommon point on which they might unite in the great wark of education , be eotreatt-j * he Hou ^ e to secure the present blessed ppa « on of opportunity for wiping away our national oisgraee . Mr . Cobdex knew , from his own experience , that Dissenters were iioi or themselves sufficient to carry ont a scheme of national ertneatron . Bnt the nj »} nri « " of the working clashes id Lancashire were either Dissenters , or of u- - > religion at all ; and : hey would object to be conjpe . 'i *» d to pay ra'es for instruction in the tenets of me E-t 2 bli > ht-d Church . The depravity of Marchf-ter had been specially exhibited ; but tb ^ very £ ari > b in which the House of Commons stood was more depraved than anything that could be shown in Manch-ster ; and a large portion of the property in it b-lonced io the , D ^ an and Ctapter ot Wt-stEiiaster . He did not adduce this , or the condition of the agricui'nral districts , as a reason why no religious in ^ rucnon sh oul d bo siforded to Manchester , but as an evidence of the neglect of tbe Church , and as a proof that the present measure oid not tike a sufficiently t spanned view of ihe subject , of education . Sir R . H . li . gl ; s had claimed J or tbe Church therigb- of bc- ' . n « tne ** supreme instructress " of the people ; bui ihe Church bad gro > aiy Defected its du tj , and had no nghi to throw any obstruction in the way of general ui secuiar education . The Dissenting ministers in the north oi Eugiand had no disposition to oppose any measure of secular iBstraction ; but the Church routed jealousy a ^ -d animosity by perpetually iatmaing its clanns . He would no : oppose the -econd retaing of the bill , because nt svas anxioub to pronsoie any measure which tended vo imorove onr grossly deficient system of education bnt there were clauses in it which would be fatal tc its operation i not altered . Mr . Darby believed that a secular education wa £ no-guarantee of a m ^ ral po pulation . ! Afier some ob ~? rvaiions from Mr . B . Hope , L « rd Job : * Russjo . was glad tnat this discussion had taken place , and had been conducted with tempir , as it wonid tend to promote a similar spirit is the country , and ultimately promote the common objrcJ . The ract of a ia . ge majority of the manufacturing districts being Di-senters , mnat be taken iu : o aeeount in passing such » measure as this ; and there were various suggestions which might promote its smooth working . One important consideration was a noimal school for the training of a body of proper schoolmasters , for which the House , he was couvincrd , woaid willingl y vow an additional grant . Afipt a few observations from Mr . Ross , the question was put ibat the bill be read a second time , which was carriea , aad the committee settled for Friiay Dext . The ether orders of th" day were then disposed of , one of which was the third reading of the Dog ' s Bill , which met , as Lord Akthfh Lennox complained , with a dogged opposition . A division was taken , and the bill was carried by 6 G to 43 .

! . TO THE ED 1 TOB OF THE JfOBTHEBK STAB . SlE .. — On Saturday last , the miilocr&ts of Holmflrth , and U ; e neightoourbooa , called a public meeting for the , purpose or adopting a petition , praying for an imme diate repeal of the Corn L ^ ws . Having receiTtd an ! inviution from the Chartists of the above locality , I ¦ attended , and on Friday evening , delivered a lecture , in the Chartist room , on the subject ef Chartism , and the fallacy of Corn Law Repeal , unless accompanied ' by oilier measures . At the close of the lecture , I
? invited difcussion , but no person appearing the Chau-; - man remarked that as he knew there were many peri boub in "the room , who were opposed to Ghaitiam , and ¦ Its principles , and as they had now an opportunity of ¦ meeting an advocate of Chartism , he hoped they would i . avail themselves of the opportunity , and at one ? ceme forward . The Chairman called upon a member of tbe League ¦ who was then present , and ^ ho had previously ex-1 pressed a ¦ wish to meet a Chartist in discussion , but 1 eten this gentleman declined the invitation , though couched in courteous and gentlemanly terms . No oppenent appealing , the meeting then terminated , the ; best feeling prevailing in favour of Democracy .
On Saturday afternoon , I again -walked over te Holmfirth , intending to take a part in the pnhlic meeting ' , bat no sooner had 2 arrived in the Graveahip , than I was told that the constables had received orders to arrest me , if I dared to attend the meeting at the Town KsTl .

Holme . ) I told him that I was aa Englishman , and aa such would not answer his ir-soient interrogations Another of the League ( whose copper-coloured face displayed his devotion to tbe 1 > ottle ) displayed hi 3 intelligence by calling me a " D—d Tory tool . " and heaped upon me every ungentlemanly epithet his malignity coaW devise Darins this altercation a chairman -was proposed in a way not at all to be admired by the friends of fairplay , for the gentleman who took tho chair was carried bv some twenty persons , although thr re could notbeless than 700 or 800 persona in the room , Dot withstanding which the gentleman took thachair . p . ml after a shortspsech introduced a Mr .

Mr . Wadding ton and Mr . Mellor conducted the prosecution .
Before the commencement of the trial , the dnfenfendant stated that he had reason to believe that some of the jury were prujudieed aRainst him , and he therefore wished to challenge them . Mr . Baron Gurnet sajd he nad , iO risjht to do so , as he waa nut char Bed with felony ; ha might , however , g ive evirinnce to prove his statement correct . Defendant said ho thought lut should hiva hid a right to c ^ aiicugo the jury , and coastqumtiy ha was not prepared with proofs of the fact he had stated ; he was quite unaccustomed to the forms of a court of justice . He then requested that oue or two friends migat he permitted to sit near laim at the table , to assist bim in bis deftuce . Mr . Biron Gurnet ( sharply!—They may sit behind .

invited to deliver the lecture which had been complained ot . Two persons went to the Mayor to ask if they ough- ' not to meet He said he did cot know whether they had 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 lecturer responsible for the peace of the town , and he was willing to be responsible . No disturbance of any kind hod taken place . But there was a secret cause for this prosecution—he was a Chartist _
Mr . Baron Gurney —You are not charged with being a Chartist here . The reason why there was no farther disturbance might have been that yon were at once taken into custody . I The defendant—It 1 b of noi use for me to proceed further with my defence . I would convince you , gentlemen , of my innocence if allowed to adopt the line of defence which I had marked out for myself . Defendant went on to observe—What became of the boasted right to assemble publicly and discuss their grievances , if they were to be I dragged away to a dungeon for expressing their opinions at peaceable meet-

TORONTO , UPPER CANADA . Rob Roy , Younge-street , February 25 th , 1843 . Worthy Brothers . —Having on leaving Emjaud , in March . 1842 . promised Bevenil brothtrs to write to them on tbe present proppecs of Ainerija and cno-iving such information may be useful to members thinking of emigrating to this conn . ry , we have deemed it advisable to giva it brii fly through the medium of the returns , a printed doenment issued y the niasous' committee to the niemb « r 8 fortnightly . I- should be known that the public works in the United States hav ^ heen partially , and in many instances , toUlly suspended since the failure of their banks . At the present time , they are wholly suspended , it has , however , beeu autie ; pa . ted that these worts will bo resumed in tht ) COtning season . Bat , jndpnij from the speech of the Governor of New York ( the richest State in tbe Union ) , and the public press of the Unittd States , little hopes can be entertained of tuch anticipations being realized .
Tbe public -works in Canada proceed very slow ; and are magnified by the press into ten tiin * s their reality . The "wages ore much below the current wages of America , and tbe work is generally d-ne by that infernal bar . e , pitce-woili—double the number of ntB being freqatnVj kept to wb . tt tbe stone will employ . Tnese things , together with tbe unhealthy situations in which the works are going oa , make emigration to this country Very precarious and cnsdvissble , especially for those that depend on their 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—say ahvuf £ 100 ; with this tbey could , if judiciously managed , purchase a good plot of land , which would maintain
the family in comfort , and serve as a resort in dull times on which to employ themselves and families , dnriDg the suspension of their trade . Those in this position are the only class vt tradesmen tbat are in a way at all to be envied . Trarie fluctuates so much , and jobs ere bo far asunder , that a man absorbs want be gains on one jub in looking for another . On the other hand , the prodnce of a farm sells so low , tbat a man has to toil hard for a mere subs ' stence . This climate , too , is very disagreeable to many Eoropeans ; in summer it is txcessively hot ; in winter , extreme ' : y cold . These disadvantages , with the store pay system , ( truck system ) and other evils too numerous to meiitiou , ¦ will at ones make it evident , tbat emigration to tbit . country , under present circumstances , can by no means be advised .
Hoping the Society and its members are in health ) and prosperous circumstances , We remain , truly , In the bondB of un't-y .

" THEY MANAGE THESE THINGS BETTER IN FRANCE . " I A railroad is about to be constructed between ' Paris and the second city in France—Lyons : and it is I joteresting to eee how tbty sefc about these matters in l&fit country . 2 &e Government delivers to tbo companies , free of all charges , the land required for the whole lilies , nnd ' trtak 68 to complete tbe earth works , tunnels , bridi' ** ' - at it * 0 WQ expense , and builds all the statioi t * a 0 * termini . The tOBipaniea have to defray only tbe cost and laying d . ^* of the rails on roads constructed and levelled at && expense of the State , and to find the engines , cai * & £ «» . &c ., for the working of the lines . Tbe serious t-zpensts which have attended the formation of railwiT * ^ England , viz , the purchase of the land , and tteeonsfrnction of the works , are thus avoided in FraniV , and the liabilities to « rror in the calculation of the , vit are brought within Tery narrow
limits . The French Gove ^ iJnient trill grant a lease ot tbo line foi a period of fi oin 35 to 45 years , rent free , at the expiration of wbictt term the Government is to take possession of the railway , and to reimburse to the company the then actual Talne of the rails , engines , carriages , &c , to be determAfied . by competent valuers named on each side . France will be xnnch traversed when her railroads are down , and the more so , because we suspect travelling will be much cheaper than ia tbip country . — Brighton Herald-
