      , Collision on thb River . —GRiVESEND , Jan . 20 . —A very serious collision happened on the river last night , ' nearly abreastof the entrance of the Thames and Medway Canal , which ended in the foundering of a fine brig called the Spray , Mr . Turnbull , laden with coal , and bound from Xewcastle to London . About eight , o ' clock the Royal Victoria steam-ship , from Leith , was observed coming up tho channel , and on nearing this place it is customary when practicable for them to sheer a little to the Kent side , in order to take on board the usual river pilot . The Royal Victoria is said to have done so on this occasion , and at

      that particular moment a smack under canvass had got so in the way of the brig as to entirely prevent its being seen by the steamer until they were close to each other , The engines of the steamer were with all despatch stopped and reversed , but the way she had on and the sharp tide , which was running drove her on to the brig with considerable force . It was soon found that Bhe was fast filling witb water , and the crew lost no time in saving what they could , and making their way on board the Royal Victoria ; Shortly afterwards the Spray went down in several fathoms water . Had the vessel not been laden and lying at anchor , it is thought that she" might have been got nearer in shore , where her chance of being raised would have ' been greater . Captain Rowland , the harbour-master , has already made arrangements to remove the wreck out of the way of the navigation of the channel . It will be blown up if other means fail . The steamer did not sustain any iDiury . -

      Accident at the Lyceum Theatre . — On Wednesday evening , during the heavy gale , the frame-work of glass piate recently erected to protect the line of gas letters which announce the pit entrance of the Lyceum to the ^ frequenters of the Strand was carried away by a gust of wind , and came down with a loud crash .

Adulterated Pepper . —On Wednesday the following fines were inflicted by the Court of Inland Revenue upon grocers found in possession of adulterated pepper : — £ 80 upon John Stott , 15 , Gray ' s inn-lane ; £ 10 , J . S . Chadwell , Great Suffolk-street , Southwark ; £ 5 , Henry Smith , 23 , Bermondsey-street ; John Reynals , Union-street , Southwark ;

      and Thomas Hart , of the same locality . ¦ ' The Mcmmt . —Since tbe discovery of the mummy in the crypt of St . Stephen ' s , a great number of persons visited , by permission , the spot where the relic lies . It is stated that the remains will not be removed for fear they should , by being disturbed , become entirely destroyed . It is intended the * itould remain in their present resting p ' ace , and that (• ie wal' should be so rebuilt as to admit ot the carious in such matters having a view of the ancient relic . - A . general opinion prevails that several other bodies will be discovered in or near tbe crypt j and the speculative suppose that trea-Bure of a more substantial and lucrative nature must also he

      deposited in the vicinity of the ancient dead . The Eablt Cmsiko Association—With a view to relieve this society of an old standing debt , amounting to nearly £ 300 , Mr . Hitchcock , the silk mercer , of St . Paul ' s churchyard , recently stated that he would double any sum that the association might raise within a month from that date ( 5 th of November last ) . Encouraged by the munificence of this proposal , the members at once commenced a vigorous canvass , which resulted in their raising withis the period specified £ 406 . It is stated that , although thin sum exceeded what was anticipated would be collected , Mr . Hitchcock readily handed over his check for the same amount , thus placing a balance exceeding £ 500 at the disp osal of the association towards defraying the expenses of its future operations .

      Destructive Fire . —On Wednesday morning a serious fire broke out at Old Ford , near Bow Church , on the premises known as the Wick-lane Works . The buildings were nearly 200 feet in length , aboat sixty feet wide , and from fifty to sixty feet high , and were in the tenure of Mr . James Allen , paper stainer . The firemen succeeded in getting the mastery over the flames , but not until the premises , with the exception of one house , were all but destroyed . The stock-in-trade and buildings -were insured in tbe Alliance Fire-office . Deatu from an Explosion ofNapiha . —Mr . Goole expired in the Middlesex Hospital on Wednesday morning , in consequence of the injuries he received from the accidental explosion of Naptba at his residence in Wardour-strect , Oxford-street , after experiencing the most dreadful agonieB . Every effort was made to alleviate the poor man ' s

      sufferings , but the usuries he had sustained were of so serious a nature as to counteract the medical skill of the establishment , and mortification ensuing , death put a period to his existence . It was most wonderful that more fatal results have not attended this explosion , as the whole family of the deceased were present at the time ^ all watching with apparent interest the preparations of charging thenaptha lamp . At the moment of the ignition the room presented an awful spectacle , resembling a burning cauldron , in which were confined several human beings of both sexes , and all more or less on fire . Tho wife and children were dreadfully burnt , but the flames were fortunately extinguished by tho persons who rushed to their assistance . The deceased was a steady , hard-working man , and he has left a large family bereft of all mean 3 of support by this distressing calamity .

      - Os Saturday , a woman named Alice Lacy was run over and killed by an engine at Sileby , near Leicester , on the Midland Railway , where the line is crossed by a footpath . Darikg Leap . —A convict , under sentence of transportation for ten years , made a daring attempt to escape last week from the New Bailey prison in Salford , by leaping from the outer wall , which is guarded on the top by a eldvauxdc-frise , and is about nine yards in height . He alighted with such force as to stun himself completely , and was instantly recaptured . The only injury sustained was a severe bruiains , and , strange to say , no bones were broken . Ox Swsdat morning the Jane and Margaret , a collier brig of Newcastle , was discovered to be on fire about a mile off the shore from Yarmouth .

      Fire at Messrs . Lawsos ' s Podsdrt . —A fire broke but on the 16 th inst . in the model house attached to the foundry of Messrs . Liwson and Son , machine-maker ? , Mabgate . After the engine had been plaving about five minutes upon the flames , the roof of the building fell in , and it was evident that the whole erection would inevitably be destroyed . By this time two of Phillips ' s patent fire annihilators had been prepared by Mr . Superintendent James , and were discharged by him into the lower room , by which the flames were extinguished almost immediately , and the air was so purified that the firemen were enabled in less than

      a minute to enter the building , and play tho engine with effect upon the burning embers , all appearance of fhme having b 3 en completely destroyed . As it was found utterly impossible to provide means to get the annihilators into the upper room , Mr . James resolved to discharge four of them in the room helow , in the hope that they would have an effect upon the fire which was still raging above . This he accordingly did , and the result was suchas far to exceed his expectations , as the flumes were at once extinguished and in a short time afterwards the fire was got completely under . *

      Lamentable Accidest at Matmck . —We record with much sorrow a most dreadful accident Which occurred at Matlock , on the 10 th inst , and by which a most respectable professional man , practising as a surgeon at Buxton , and his son , a boy of ten or twelve years of age , lost their lives . Mr . Cumming happened to be at Matlock for the day , and in the afternoon took a pleasure boat in order to indulge his son with a row on the river Derwent ; the recent rains had much swollen the river , and the rowers seem to have approached too near to the weir near Mason Mill ; the force of tho current carried the boat over the fall , but Mr . dimming and his son appeared to be uninsured by the descent , and the boat grounded at its foot . ' The unfortunate parent made the most desperate efforts to save his child , and repeatedly gained his feet after being drawn down by the current , but the power of the stream proved too great for long resistance , and the father and son were washed away to the depths below before the eyes of the anxious spectators . Mr . Cumming has left a wife and seven children . —Derbyshire Courier .

      sergeant , proceeded to the Post-office , where the accused and another clerk were on duty .

      GOVERNMENTAL SOCIALISM IN IRELAND . TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —We have , in this city , a prosperous andpopu * lar society , called the " Board of Manufacture and Industry , " who appear to be not only talking , put doing . They have invited a " Meeting for Consultation , " to be composed of some of the best and most influential men from all parts of Ireland , and to assemble the last week of this month , for the following among other purposes : — " 1 . To adopt moasures for converting the workhouses into self-sustaining establishments . " 2 . For extending the means of education , and directing its chief force to industrial instruction , in all places , whether colleges , schools , prisons , or poorhouses .

      " 3 . For organising an extensive and available system of banking and currency , to represent the labour of the people . ' . " 4 . For taking steps toremove the dutyoff the manufacture of paper , off newspapers , and off all agencies for disseminating knowledge . " My object in now addressing you is to draw your attention to the " Suggestive-Report" of the council of this society , on the subject of Education , which seems to me so good as to deserve a wide dissemination . I enclose a copy , and respectfully ask its insertion in the " Star . " Yours , truly , William Pare , Seville Works , Dublin , 13 th January , 1852 .

      " The fivst thought of every people should be to educate their young . The first duty of a state is to educate its people . This eduoation should be wide-spread , aoceasible , and practical . The cost of the people ' s education , should be the first charge upon all property . It should precede the tax for the government—for the poor—for the police— ¦> for the army , and for the public creditor . Upon education , as' the basis , all the other interests of society rest . If the systems of a people be defeotive , so also . will all be their education of agriculture , manufactures , commerce , industry , finance , morality , religion , and government ; " The question naturally follows , what should be deemed ' education ? ' Education to be useful should teach more than the use of letters and tho use of figures . A mere 'literary education' will . prove a broken staff to the man

      who depends upon it for bread . The worst paid men in society , and generally the poorest , most Bhifting , having least personal oredit , are literary men . "Eduoation should begin with ohildren when they aro crawling round their cradles . Before they can speak they may be taught ! That is the age at which the first and most lasting conceptions and ideas are formed in the young brain , and if the child be mismanaged around the mother ' s knee , it is the next thing to ' impossible' to recover it to regularity , or subject it to discipline ever after . Sfc . Paiil relates that he Baw upon a mother ' s bosom , a pair of twins , one of which only at one time oould she supply with milk , and observed that one of the babes grew pale with rage at the preference given to the other . Mothers are . the great educators of society . How careful , then , should the state

      be about the education of all the females in its jurisdiction ! "This is the vulnerable part of a nation . This is the critical point whence a nation ' s destiny radiates . The mothers of every family in the land should be reached by the agents andjagencies of education . Theology or the mode of worshipping tho Deity should not be meddled with in the most remote way by the agents of general education . All religious education should lie left to the various missions of religion already on foot . The nation , which is composed of all religion ? , should not suffer its agents to meddle in any way with the great theological disputes of the age . A strict neutrality on this point must be observed by the educators . v ; " Familiar , educational papers should be scattered and read in each farm-house and cottage of the island . Mothers should be taught how to rear their children . They should be made aware that to beat them when they cry or

      misbehave—to curse and damn them , and call them brats , ' ' puppies , ' ' little villains , ' when they are perverse—to set them to ' play' to get rid of their importunities or their care—to let them amuse themselves in torturing a cat ; a dog , a bird , &c—to eat and drink all things and everything that comes in their way—to go from day to day unwashed , uncombed , with filthy , ragged dress —to have no ideas implanted in their minds but those of coarse tumbling , cruelty , unbridled appetites , thumping , boxing , wrestling , swearing , gasconade , and bravado , prepares their children to become ruffians . These tendencies take root in the child before the age of throo , are confirmed at seven , and never after can by any system of moral , religious , or collegiate education be eradicated . After education only hides these tendencies , which are sure to break out at intervals even in persons occupying the highest plaoes in every station of life !

      " Education must reach the cradle and the nursery , or it fails in its mission , and leaves us just where we are , and where we havo been for many a year . It must teach mothers how to rear their young—yea , every mother in the land ! To accomplish this requires a very different , and a far more comprehensive staff of teachers than we at present possess in Ireland , and therefore requires that the nation should bo called together through its trusted thinking men , to assume and begin the great duty of educating tho people . " Assuming these our premises we proceed to ' suggest ' under this head : — " In the first plaee , we should require of the state tho annual appropriation of £ 500 , 000 to the purposes of education for the next three years ; and one million a-year for each six millions of the population ever afterwards . To fortify this demand we have only to show the governing powers what is going on in the United States , to which our countrymen are flying . In the State of Massachussets

      iwnose capital is Boston ) , the population is 900 , 000 ; the annual sura levied for , and applied to , education , is 750 009 dollars , at 4 s . 2 d . tho dollar—that is , one hundred and nfty thousand pounds sterling , or about 3 s . 9 d . a year to each person . To Ireland , with a population of six and a naif millions , only one hundred and twenty thousand pounds are annually appropriated for education ; or 4 Jd a year to each person . In the State of New York , with a population of three . millions , there are 15 , 000 paid teachers besidos inspectors and state officers of education . In Ireland , with double the population , there aro but 5 000 teachers , including all superiors , inspectors , and officers so that tho Americans estimate education beyond ua in tho ra « o of about thirty-fivo to five . When we add to their schools their teeming , untaxed newspaper press , throwing out its million of newspapers every morning , at a halfpenny and a penny each , we may then estimate the immenBe distance we . aro behind them , and be made aware of someone ot the reasons why , and to what , our people are daily ft *

      " If we would make one step towards arresting the wasting ' Exodus ' -one available step towards raising up ttus fallen people—we must look this great question stea-Qily and at once in the very fnce . ? ' If we aro told b y the authorities that' money is scarce , ' we answer , ' you find two millions one hundred thousand pounds per annum to support ' paupers , " who are paupers merely beoauae they were educated ; ' we answer , ' you find one million sterling a year for arresting , trying , condemning , and transporting " criminals , " who are criminals only because they were not eduoated '—we answer , ' you find five hundred thousand pounds a year to pay , maintain , and discipline twelve or thirteen thousand policemen , who aro required merely because the people are not eduoated' we answer , « yon find two millions a year to support the one third of the whole British army permanently in Ireland under the plea , of law and order , who demoralise our vounir

      people , and which law and order would never be disturbed if the people wore educated . ' We are told that money is scarce at the very moment the Lord Chancellor get 3 £ 8 000 per annum , the Chief Baron gets £ 6 , 000 ger annum , ' the judges get each £ 4 , 000 to £ 5 , 000 a year for trying felons at a moment that chairmen of sessions get £ 800 to £ 1 , 000 a year for trying petty thieves-that seventy-one stipendiary magistrates get from £ 300 to £ 500 a year eaoll for punishing turnip stoalers , and that thousands of others aro getting from two hundred to two thousand pounds a year each for some nominal ' services' which it is said they aro performing for the people . ' " Thus , then , are our resources applied under the account oi Ireland : — For supporting the poor ( i . e ., the ignorant ) .. .. £ 2100 000 For supporting and transporting criminals ( I . « ., the > T ^ ignorant ) . ;¦ ¦• .. ¦ .. . . . ,. \ ' " ° ifinnnnn For supporting the police in Ireland ..
