      _ Ijord Brougham mado a long harangue in the House of Lortis , on Monday last , on the Bubject of i ^ v ?! education - At on ' e point iu bis discourse , tb * iNoblfi and Learned Lord appeared to be altogether gnodued by bis own eloquence , aud by the t « 5 ol ^ petioii of kisBervices in the " schoolma ^ ex ' B " canst He pauBe < t-felt « red—shed , a Jeiw gracious ^ rf ^^^^^^^^^ ^ m ^^^^ % iS ! ed , with hu wonted Mlf ^ onfidehc ^ ofteclQ ^ « f his rhetorical journey . The audience -was not , we must admit , excited " iu a similar fashion , lie general feeling seemed , on the contrary to be—that t . ie . Noble and Learned Lord ' s speech was a piece of solemn and stupid pedantry .

      On this subject of education , lx > rd Brougham has beemn tho habit , during the whole of his public * ife , of uttering an immense amount of nonsense and cant . He talked , last uidit , of the ueceesary connection that exists between ignorance and vice ; and urged 011 Government , some plan of National Education , as funiishiii ^ ' ilie only sure cormtite of a frightful evil . What , let us aslc , does Lord Brougham moan by " ignorance ' . " \ Vtt admit \ hat " ignorance" of his various duties , on the part of an individual , is apt to be very closely allied to "vice ; "' and nothing can bo more certain , than , that from sound moraf , and religions instruction alone mav man acquire accurate notions as to his " duties . " Lord Brougham , however , attaches a totally different mcaninjfto the term "ignorance . " His Lord < hip believes that where there eiists the power of readii ! -: and writing—an J where

      ¦ that power nas been freelv exercised—there , of necessity , knowledge" must r " esid 9 . The "knowledge , " in short , to which Lord Brougham perpetually refers , is " knowledgo"' of opinions , merely , — not of truth : —of opinions , which 111 the vast majoritv of cases are worth less than nothiug ^ -ainl ¦ which at all events , exist in a -state ' of perpetual flux . Truth—religious and moral—is immutable : — and " knowledgs"' in all its varieties k valuable , in proportion as it approaches to this eham-tfer of immutability . What Lord Brougham puff ? and vaunts as " knowledge" ig not troth—is not wisdom . Do we require proof of this assertion ? We may find that proof in the person of Lord Brougham himself . His Lordship possesses much of what hi these days is styled " knowledge ; "' vet he haj achieved jx > s . « essiou of wonderfully few " " truths' '—whilst of " ** wisdom , '" he is absolmcly guiltless .

      As to the alleged connection between " ignorance " and ** ¦ vice "—we repeat , that between vice and ignorance of moral and religious truth , there exists an inseparable alliance ; but we do , most emphatically , deny , that thero exists any necessary connection between Tice , and i ^ Tioraucv of the " thinrs which Lord Brougham styles " knowl ( vlge . " The proof surrounds us on every Bide . " Knowledge "—of the " nseful" Etamp—is more widely dilfuseu at the prosent day , than at any previous period in the history of the world ; yet , oy the admission of Lord Brougham himself , the march of " vice" has of late , been even more rapid than the march of " kllOWlt > Jee . " The " knowledge" in which Lord Brougham trusts , never vet staved tho progress of " vice : — uavtliat

      , very "knowledge" is itself an active cause ' in the generation of those vicious habits , which strike the eye of the observer of the labouring poor of the present dxv . Lord JJroTj ^ ham and all th « tatfioben of the sect of which he his an organ , have , with iuerediblo activity , disseminated , under the specious name of " knowledge , " a system of opinion * - , which when reduced to operation , infliet robbery and oppression on the great body of the labouring classes . . Tke abasement aad starvation of the producing poor have Le * n , practically , the aim of Lord BrousH-ani's existence . His cuckoo-cry of devotion t « iht * interest * of " the people" reeolvee itself into a clamour for lht diffusion of a knowledge of the art ? of reading aad vrrkimr . Governments mav rob ihe poor

      arid welcome—proviiiing governmeutg shall teacli every poor man to hold a pen ! Lord Brougham ' s " knowledge" taught him that the revolution which robbed the hand-loom weaver ? of threi . ' -fonnhs of their hoaest earnings was fraught with ticking ? to that order of men ; and he has attempted to " diffuse , " as widel y as possible , the " knowledge" of his precious opinions on that subject . In like manner , Lord Brougham ' s " kuowledgo" Iead 3 him to the conclusion that tke Ncir Poor I ^ w above all other processes tends to " elevat « the moral character of iho poor . " How the ¦ widest possible diffusion of so palpable a falsity might tend to check the spread of " vice , " it would assuredly r-crplex a casuisi to detenniue !

      Lord Brougham ' s "knowledge" ( despite his exceeding cleverness , and unsurpassed activity of intellect ) is a hundlo of rubbish . Theoretically , almost all his Lordship ' s opinions aTe false ; when embodied in action , th « y are cniel and unjust . Lord "Brougham and his fellow quacks have laboured to array the various orders of EQckty in deadly hostility again .-t each other . They have added incalciilably to the amount of misery and vice which they found in the world . They hav « inculcated the principles—and taught the language—of social revolution . "Abolish the Poor Law of Elizabeth —deprivo the labourer of his chartered

      rightsthrow him upon his own resources , and bv that process , elevate his moral character . " ijucli has been iha jargon of Lord Brougham . And what has been the application by the oppressed labourer of ths doctrine of the great " tchoolmaster J " "Down with tho institution of property—take from th « rich th » power of oppression—let the labourer enjoy the whola fruiia 01 " his own industry —and let the idle consumer b « thrown upon his own resources as a pr # duter . " Thus ar « th « ingredients of the " useful-knowledge" chalito returned to the lips of the men who have prepared it !

      If viee is to be banished from the habits of the labouring poor , tho labouring poor must , iu the first instance , bo protected from oppression and injustice . Knowledge , too , they mnrt be provided with—a knowledgo of moral and religious obligation , and of all these collateral truths which rest on the great truths of religion and morality . / 3 for Lord Brougham ' s " useful knowledge" —it is , ih its essence , fako and worthless—and in its " diffusion , " it involves a disruption of all the bonds that now connect together the various orders of society —Morning Herald .

      On th » morning of Monday , the 5 th instant , we published the following paragraph : — " The following changes are confidently spoken of as likely to tako place at the close of the session : — Mr .

" On the evening of that gams day a cannonade of contradiction opened upon us from all the journals regarded as Ministerial organs . The denial was , ae the reader may perceive , not more prompt than it was entire and authoritative : —

      qaer ; Mr . C . Wood ' s succeeding Mr . F . Baring at Treasury is about to realise tho elevation we announced for him ; Mr . E . J . Stanley will , we are happy to find , he prevailed on to continue in the omce which he fills so em ' oiently , hut we repeat that the transfer alluded to was at the time in contemplation . -, and as to the only other name in the list , that of Mr . Poulett Thompson , a new -writ for Manchester will probably he moved for this morning ; but , if not , it is nevertheless certain that he will go out to Canada as Governor-General . Such is the state of the rase after this thundering volley of contradiction . s .

      Should < authority , " however , be iu the mood for more contradictious , wo will give the opportunity bv adding that Mr . Laboudicre will succeed Mr . Poulett Thomson as President of the Board of Trade ; that Mr . Vernon Smith will succeed Mr . Labouchere as Under-Secretary fur the Colonies ; that Mr . Shiel takes Mr . V . Smith ' s Sccretaryt-hip at the India Board ; it is said that Mr . Moore 0 teiTall . succeeds Mr . C . Wood as Secretary at the Admiralty ; and it is certain that Mr . W . ysci- ( thc new writ for Waterford was moved for last night ) takes tho scat of Mr . O'Fenall at the Treasury . Ao arrangements have yet been concluded with respect to the accession of the Earl of ClarendoU and Mr . Macaulay to tho Administration ; and who that wishes to see a Liberal Government sttong and efficient will not exceedingly . regret

      And now to return to the authenticated faleehood of three weeks ago . We impute no blame to our conteanporarieB , who , doubtless , believed they were rendering a Bervice to the cause of truth , whilo they obtained for themselves a fair aud honest advantage . If it was at our expense , they v ? erc entitled also to assume that it was occasioned by our fault . We do not charge any one of them . witli willingly becoming * ' the shameless herald of a lie . " But wo cannot extend our charity to the "authority" by which they were pnmiltaneously deceived , nor regard this mode of tampering with the newspaper prees as a trifle to be forgotten , or a harmless trick'only to Lo remembered with a smile .

      If the Administration be so regardless of its own character as to acquiesce in a fraud , some portion of the disgrace of which must needs be reflected 011 itself , it should at least stop there , aud not become , even by implication , a party to proceedings , Uie manifest tendency of which , is tlie degradation of the press . Wo say nothing about the immediate agency . We inquire not into the evidence ' of authority in the contradiction ; evidence which satisfied our contemporaries , not unskilled in these matters . These are questions for tho parties concerned , whom vre leave to treat them according to the degree of interest which they may ¦ ' . severally feel in setting themselves right with the public , aud with their own sense of honour . Nor- ' shall-. we advert to the gross want of good feeling , and of tound policy in thus ropaying . the services of . journals by which the Govornment has be «» n ably

      supported . That want is most disgracefully glaring . Neither aro we disposed to hunt for Bimilar -instances , as a set-off , in the dealings of other parties with other journals . There is t-jiough that t 6 discrcditahle in the present instance , to call for our protest against proceedings only worthy of that vulgarest , and-vilert species ofanthority , which seeks t « confirm its rule bj the . abasement of mind and the corruption of opinion . If the press can beau object of scorn to any member of any British Administration , ho must bo sadly out of his proper position . The mistake must soon be brought home to him of thinking ; that he can put tricks npon it with impunity . The utmost of hit ; success ran ' only vnd in crippling his own supporters , should their forbearance hold out long enough for the soM-savrih ' co , —Morning Chronicle .

With regard to the second question , the blockade of the River Plate , he was aware there had been no cessation of the conduct that had been pursued in that part of the globe ; but he had the satisfaction of assuring the Noble Lord that the Government of France was most anxious to bring those proceedings to a close , and ho was in confident hope that , erelong , that would be k-o .
