t ju—r backhand-How ill:th to grow rich and powerful? Very one will answer—By cultivating and making ‘produco, tive what nature has given them. So long as their lands remain uncultivated,” no matter how rich by nature, ,they are still no source of 'wealth {but when they bestow labour upon them, and be “a to plough the fertile earth, they then me a source 0 profit. Now, is it not precisely the same case with natural powers of mind? So long as the rennin uncultivated, are they not valuelss? Nature gives it is true, to the mind talent, but she does not learning or skill ; just as she gives to the soil fertility, but not wheat or corn. ' In both cases the labour of man must make them productive. N , this labour applied to the mind, is what we call educa- a Word derived from the Latin, which means the edit:- eating or bringingfortb the hidden powers of that to which it . is applied. In the same sense also we use the word culti- aatwn—re say,“quva the mind,”just as we say“ cultivate theiaoil. a a From all this we conclude that a nation has two natural sources of wealth: one, the soil of the nation, and the other, theatisd ofthe nation. 80 long as these remain uncultiva- Mthey add me or nothing to wealth or power. Agncul- ture makesthe one productive, education the other. Brought under cultivation, thcam'l brings lbrth wheat .and corn and good while the weeds and briars and p018000“5_])lapt8 an all meted out; so mind brought under cultivation brin forth skill, and learning,“ sound knowledge, and principles; while ignorance and prejudice, and bad passions, and evil habits, the weeds and briars and poisonous plants of 1% are rooted out and de- Ayn ignorarn‘t man, therefore, adds little or nothing to the Wealth ofthe country, an educated man adds a great deal ; on ignorant man is worth little in the market, his wages are low, because he has got no knowledge or skill to so ll. Thus in a woollen factorya skilful workman may get $10 or 815 a week, wliilcan unskilled workman must be content ,with 81 or 82. In a store or a counting house one _ clerk gets $1,000 salary, because he understands book-keeping or the value of goods, while another who is ignorant, gets no- thing but his board. ' ' \Ve see these differences too when we look at nations. Thus China has ten times as many inhabitants as England, but England has a hundred times as much skill; therefore England is the more power- ful of the two, and frightens the government of China by a ' e ship of war. . _ ‘ bus, too, amongtbe nations of Europe, Prussia is 'more powerful and prosperous than any other of the same size on the continent, because all her people are educated, and that education is a Christian one, making them more] and indus- trious as Well as skilful. If then, the education of the. pelt:- lc be necessary to the res icrit ' of the nation, it is t. e Ruty ofthe government 05 milieu do provide for it ; that is, to see that no child grows up in ignorance or Vice, becaps'e that is wasting the productive capital of the country. '1 his education tooshould be a Christian education, in order that children when they grow up should be honest, faithful, and temperate;for if a man be a liar or a drunknrd his know- ledge and skill is worth little to the country, because he Will never be trusted nor employed. None know the v f education but those. who have received it; it is re the duty of every child who has been wefl attested himself, to use his influence when be up, to extend it to others, and if he be a legislator, to make it national and universal in his country. CORN FROM AMERICA. A large meeting assembled in the Corn Exchange, Man- chester, in September last to bear a statement, by Mr. James cans, of Ohio, on the capability and willingness of America In) supply Great Britain with corn. Many hundreds ofper- sons were unable to obtain admission. Mr. Cobdcn was the chairman ; and there were present several leading members of the Anti-Com-Law Lea ue. Mr. Cobdeu, in opening the business ofthe day, 0 served that the ruling classes in England were taught to pore over the past history and obscure geography of ancient Greece, with its paltrywivers; but they remained profoundly igno- rant of contemporary history—of America, and its natural wealth and vast streams, where the best flour was sold fora penny a pound, while unskilled labour commanded 45. to Be. nday for wages. The knowledge offsets, however, mlist bear down the com-laws— ‘ “When it comes well understood that in America, which now, b the magic of steam navigation, is brought within a fortnight} sail of us—that along the whole sea-board of America there is now stored up abundance of flour, abund- once of pork, and abundance of beef; and that the Ameri- cans themselves are anxious to send that pork, that beef, and that flour to feed you, and are anxious to set our spindles, and your wheels, and your looms, and your miners in motion, to take in exchange for these things our manufactures; when that is known, and sufficiently aown through the country, I have that faith yet in the force of truth, and [have that faith in the energies and in- dependence of my countrymen, that [believe it will be im- possiblefor an act of parliament to dam up those supplies which Divine rovidence has intended for you.” He quoted a letter from his brother, written a few weeks since at Baltimore— “It is useless for Britain to expect a lar e trade with America unless she consents to take the agricu tural produce of this country. Ispent last evening with a large provision dealer, and he tells me that the warehouses are full of bacon, bread, and beef, and that he can hardly sell it at any price. He said he had just received an invoice from the in- terior of the country of one hundred casks of prime bacon, consisting of ham; and shoulders; and he did not believe, when theyarrived, that he should be able t-i sell them for as much as would pay the expences.” Mr. Girtis delivered a long speech, showing, by the evi— dence of statistics, how America could provide, to the point . ofsuperfluity, for the wants of Britain, increase as they might, tosn indefinite extent. It is impossible, in our pre- occupied space, to give an outline of Mr. Curtis’s able ac- . count;and it is the less necessary, since we quoted lar ely from bias iccch on the same subject delivered at the an- chester uti-Corn-Law Conference. He reminded those who Mfufid for independence of foreign nations in the sup- ply of ood of an apt precedent to the contrary— “He asked those who doubted whether Britain could be supplied from abroad, if they had looked at the capabilities . of other countries for doin this? Had they looked at what India could produce? ad they looked at what America could produce, or what Russia could supply ? There was Barbary, a country which once supported Rome in its great- ness. It was new comparatively waste; but it was just as capable as ever of cultivation, and only wanted the hand of commerce to hold out the inducement." America, without encoura meat from a demand here, already produces fifteen mil ion quarters of wheat ; and so anxious is she to furnish the supply for Britain, that Mr. Cur- tis is confident her citizens would confine their own con- sumption to Indian (mm, were it necessarv, in order to re- lease the whole amount of wheat requiréd by this country. - Already some is sent through Canada, as colonial wheat, to $28 of the opposes and trouble of that circuitous course.

Quénisset was a Communism-— “ You will recollect that I wrote you on the day ofthe 1“? tempt a brief account of the procession of the Seventeenth Light Iiifiintry, and ofits escort of‘meu in blames ifhat ‘some ofthein preceded the troops, while others were mixed up with the soldiers.’ I was struck With that fact; as it ap- peared to me, who know nothing ofimlitary athtll‘Si that an observation I heard from a competent Judge at I‘euiple Bari the day on which the funeral ot'Queen Caroline took place, applied—namely, that ‘ the people were so mixed up With the Guards that not a man of the latter could have acted had an order to resist the populace been given.’ Such was pre- cisely the notion of this proceeding of the men an blouse, of whom I spczik. Qnéuisset was to kill one of the princes, it did not matter which ; and this was to be the Signal for the armed conspirators, who were in very great numbers at each side of the procession, to aid those unarmed, when the latter should turn upon the soldiers, and (attempt at least to) wrest the muskets out of their hands. Ifthis failed, enn- tlier calculation was made. The soldiers, infuriated at the murder of one of the Royal Dukes—upon their own Colony]. perhaps—and at the attempt made upon themselves, would probably have butchered every man, woman, and child With: in their reach. A general insurrection throughout Paris would (as the conspirators calculatedlI take Place; and scenes would ensue of a character too orrible to contem- plate, and be wound up Ileaven only knows how.” . The Court of Peers met and formally constituted itself for the trial of the accused, on Tuesday. It is expected that the preliminaries of the trial will occupy some time. GREAT BRITAIN.

Captain Blackwood’s attention» is also to be direc- ted to the whole south face of New Guinea, and the many islands which lie between that Island and New South Wales, and which now give shelter to hordes of Malays, but which, with our increased commercial connexions, must be cleared of these pirates, and rendered useful. They present many fine harbours, and are capable ofyielding an infinite variety of valuable products. ~ The Earl of Shrewsbury (a Catholic peer) has just pub- lished a pamphlet “ On the present posture of Aflhirs,” in which, condemning those “ who make the presumed inte- rests of religion a plea for the extreme of violence in their political opinions and conduct,” and, alludin to the call made on the Roman catholics, “to unite against Tory vio- lence,” he says, before he follows this advice, he is “ much more inclined to consider first, whether the new government may not administer the affairs of the country full as much for the true interests of religion as the old.” His lordship adds, “ At any rate, religion has nothing to gain by a state of anarchy and revolution, or, indeed, by any success of the movement party.” Denounciiig the proceedings of Mr. O’Connell as full of mischief, he observes, that be “ must either mean more than he tells us, or that all is charla- tanism ;” and, though still calling himselfa Whig, the noble earl will give his support to the present government—to the opponents of whom, particularly to the anti-corn law peo- pde _(fi'om whom his lordship totally dissents), he gives some vice.

House of Commons, Sept. 24. An interesting conversation arose in consequence of a su gestion from Sir C. Napiér that there should be a naval 0 am: at the board of ordnance. In the course of the con- versation, . Sir C. Napier declared that, in the whole course of his life, he had never seen a good musket or a good cartouch- box on board a British man-of-war; and be challenged any naval ofiicer on either side of th to say that the arms were of any but the very worstlfvvfissible description.

The late Chancellor of the Exc E3- quer, Mr. Baring, gave a kind of half approbation to t e mode of meeting the deficiency which the new government resorted to, but at the same time complained that no glimpse or glimmering was afforded of the plans 'which the present chancellor contemplated. _ Lord Palmerston admitted that if the large measures pro- posed by the late government Were to be rejected, the pre- sent plan was better than immediate taxation. The country had been pleased, by returning a conservative majority, to place the present administration in office, and the first fruit was an addition of £2,500,000 to the national debt. He hoped they would not find the new ministers dear at the money. He thought the house had a right to know from those ministers—not, indeed, what Were the details of their plan, but what was the principle of it. Unles they had made up their minds about that, they should not have used the budget as the instrument of turning out the late ad- ministration. They were not entitled to blame the expenses of the army and navy; for they had ever urged increase instead of diminution in our armaments. What might be their intentions in the corn-laws none knew. There was an obvious difference among them on this point ; and though it might be reasonable to give them some time for agreeing among themselves, yet there might be a limit to that delay, ' and parliament ought to be again assembled in the course of the autumn. The degree of the existing distress might be disputed; but none could deny that it arose in no small measure from the corn-laws. All the members of the House of Comtnons who vacated their seats by accepting oflice in the conservative adminis— tration have been re—elected. In no case has anything like serious opposition been attempted. Lord Stanley made a very excellent speech on the hustings, and avowed such an earnestness of union with Sir R. Peel, as can leave little doubt that they will act energetically and cordially together. He declared that the new government was not to be a. promising government, like the last, but a performing go- .vernmeut. Ministers, he said, were reserved in what they ,stated now, because they wished to consider maturer and fully to understand what they were about before they pro- posed measures to parliament. They were, he said, deter- mined to do their duty, and he hoped in a few years hence the people would say of them that, though they did not promise much at the beginning, at least their performance was the greater. As to the distress of the people in the manufacturing districts, he admitted it was deep and gene- ral, but he denied there was any truth or justice in the state- ments which attributed the distress to the corn-laws. There was, indeed, a cause for it, he said, but it was in the rash excess of trade into which the manufacturers rushed, when, by banking accommodations and other temporary circum- stances, a large demand was experienced. Their ruinous competition with each other, and their attempts to extend their business beyond all natural limits, had produced sub- sequent stagnation and distress of the working people. The Queen will in a few days take up her residence at Buckingham Palace, preparatory to her accouchement. In London, as well as in the country, murders have been committed to an extent rarely met with within so short a period in the chronicles of such events; while the horrid mania for suicide appears to have reached‘even children ofa tender age. The state of trade in the metropolis and throughout the country, it is gratifying to be able to state, shows symptoms ofimprovement; and this must be accelerated by the com- mercial difficulties on . the continent having begun to abate. The accounts from all parts of the country on the state of the harvest may, on the aggregate, be pronounced to be satisfactory; and we sincerely hope that, as the season pro- gresses, the various evil prognosticatious with which we haVe lately been haunted will be found to be dispelled. Foreign affairs afford little room for remark. The best proof thatthere is no serious danger in the internal state of France is afforded by the anxiety evinced on all sides to secure a share of the loan of which M. Humann has given notice.
