      as we must estimate toat compositbn , it yet detract * little from the infinite praise of Spencer ' s varied and » u » tained powers . "Whether a * a repository of the nchwt poetical language , or as a monume nt of the noWeat faculties of intelleet and imagination , the " Taerie Queene" eqaally demands our wonder and our love , in a degree which ean onlvbe surpassed by oar reverence for the solemn and ' lblime purposes which were to its antior as th » muse of kis inspira tkm . Let us be forgiven , however , if we intercede for ab » poets who preceded Spencer , to obtain a mtlderjudgment than if Spencer bad already written ; and let as ntt be though ; too bold in behalf of the humbler class of whom we have now been

      treating , if we claim for them the praise of being the harbingers of tat great moral poet , to announoe his possible approach , and to prepare for him in the breasts of his countrymen & wider and a warmer welcomt . "We can scarcely regard it here as an indifferent conrnderatioD , that , for nearly half a oentary , th « popular poetry of England ha d ! ° . ow ? * character « ° earnest and serious , and so aithful to the laws of our spiritual nature .

      Mcmc as a Branch oy Educatiok . —Here let me protest against the doctrine that it is not part ar ought to be no part , of the business of an lnstraetor to teach the means ef rational wjoyment to the people . That music is a means of . vocial wjojmeBt , will be , admitted r and that ought to be a sufficient argument for rend « ringit , if possible , a nseaus » f enjoyment t » the poomt members of the community . After all that caa be done for tbe amelioration of the condition of the workiDg classes they will have to submit to quite eBougbofprivatian ' as compared with the lot of a rich man , without withholding from them any innocent source of pleasure which we might enable them to command .

      I hav « n * sympathy wish those wha think tkat the iaty of indmiiials , er of legislators , with regard to tbe masses , ends in teaching them resignation , and submission , and in enabling them at bent to earn their bed by tbe sweat of their brow ; but who wonld do nothing to cheer their hearts , or gladden tbeir existence , by throwing a little sunihina into the cottage , as if nature had designed them tt be merely living , nwv » f , animated machine * , existing not for themselves , but solgl y to furnish the means of gratification to a superior raw of mortal * . Happily , however , for the lot of the poor , nature has not left it to our own cold hearts to decide thu question . Some amount e-f pleasurable r « laxation from

      labour i * necessary to every condition of animal existence . The slave will have it , though he work in chains for six days out of seven ; or without it he will die , aad thas escape the lasb of his cruel taskmaster . Some change of a pleasurable character , ta » li » v * tb * BaoHDtotty of a life of labour , k neoe « - ¦ aij for •« j butwhatis- nwt to the purpose , we ean withhold it from none—we can merely ehoow tfctform it shall assume . This is , then , the real question at issue , whether we shall leave the people , while in a low moral state , to eboosa their

      own sources of gratification ( although wa may know that while in that state they wiS choose ««* ttstfit a * of a low and debasing character ) , or shall we fir * t enable them to appreciate , and then place within their reach rational and intellectual enjoyments ? In short , w ill you haveprize-Bghting , bull-baiting , Tom-and-Jerry amusement * , a taste encouraged for witneaong executions , and reading of murders ; will you have intemperance , as a means of excitement , rendered all but nniversal ? or vrill you allow an art like that of music to be cultiTated

      in their place , and teach society to obey th « lawe of harmony , both in a moral and scientific sense ? I am aware there ar » many objections which may be urged , and which are continually urged , against the theory I have advanced . We may at oice admit , that a lovt « f music , ill-regulated , and misdirected , may become an evil ; but what i « the object of education if it be-not to teach us bow to regulate aar pursuits whether of business or pleasure—to teach us bow to distinguitb between the use and abuse of that which is good , and to impress upon the mind th # lesson , that what is useful in moderation may T > e hurtful u excess ? It will , perhnps , be long before we shall see in this country , that which may

      often be witnessed ia Saxony , a party of agricultural labourer ? , instead of lounging about the door of * . beer-shop , sitting under tbe shade of a tree , in the cool of a summer ' s evening , resting from the fatigues of labour , and each with a little book of music in hU hand , joining in a chorale , and singing bi « part with a correctness of style and intonation that would sot disgrace a public singer at one of our vocal concerts ; but if we art ever to make approxi-Hiatioa to such a state of things , it must be , not so much by giving our attention to adult * , as by teaching the elemeatary principles of sauric in scho » lg . — B , icktorit Lecture oh the Introduction of Vocal Mtuic ai a Branch 0 / Education .

Westoby , brewer , in the chair , it was resolved , " that the Corn Law is the result of our landowners having an undue influence in the Legisl ature of this country , which laws have , with other monopolies , raised the price of food , clothing , and shelter to sack an extent , that our manufacturers are no longer able to compete with foreign rivals;—That the operation of this law has spread starvatioa , crime , disease , and death among the wretched habitations of the working classes : —That this law is , how . . ever only one of the manifold grievances contmtd and inflicted on tha ptoplf by tht Aristocracy

      having the effect of parsJyttag tht energies of the nation , driviag many of tur most enterprising men to foreign lands , consigning our youth to a premature gravt , causing industry to seek that grave as its only rtfogt , and spreading destitution and discontent among all classes : —That bowed down with a mighty mass of accumulated bad laws , tbt working classes of this country hava- neither means nor time to spare for the effective agitation of tbe reform of those multitude of abuses hit by bitir-That , therefore , this meeting resolves to concentrate all its energies , and at once strike at the root of % U and every abuse , by demanding Universal Suffrage , as the obIt means of obtaining those just rights , which have been so long withhold . from , th e waking classes ef tfeia caantry , "
