The consequence of this one error will appear all but fatal at once to the whole cause t-i education if we only rcilcct that the one-tenth still remaining uneducated are always at hand to corrupt and mislead the one-tenth that arc educated. In truth one-half of the whole rising generation arc still in the hands of the dissenters, or the infidel and chartist, to strive Hgailltalld wcakeu all the prin- eiplesofttieotherhalf. The next error is in the imperfect growth and neglect hitherto uSwfuni education. This has been almost exclusively left to what are called dame-s- iehuvli, wiiose existence in every direction just both to parents and children, of some education or some riddance at that age of troublesome ignorance. But the actual demand forasysten.atie education ol in- fancy is only now rising in our thoughts as a pos- sibility, and only recently connected in anywise with our national system. The further lack is, that of proper appeals to the the laity in each separate parish, resident or non-resident, who in tlic, proportion of their several properties ought to be invited to furnish tocether the means of instruction to their own tenants and labourers. The want of this has been the paralysing of the best efforts and largest (even unwarrantable; donations of the clergy themselves, towards the regular and efhcieut ar- rangement of schools, in anything like the due or full proportion of the actual need. A kindred defect, of the most ominous and grave nature, felt at this moment most yi-ici ottsly and confessedly in the factory districts, is that ot an efhcieut, or rather suj/ickut, episcopal supertu.end- euce.

m agnrttlturr, dc. The following Essay on the Churning of But- ter, by Mr. Ballantine, who has been an extensive dealer in Scotch butter for thirty years, and has a large dairy farm in the neighbourhood of Edin- burn, has attracted much attention in Scotland, as detailing the best system of inuiiugc»ueiit of this inipoitant branch of tlie dairy farmer's labours. Wc strongly recommend it to our readers, 'flic testimony given by Mr. Ballantine ill favour of churning the entire milk, is a point which thev will do well to consider. To our minds it estab- lishes some strong facts against the making of butter from ei ciLLii. Ilr. iiullantine says In the summer season, tlw luilk of thirty cows is placed at tIlL, iiioriiiiig iii two ziiie coolers of sufficient capacity, and allowed to re- main there to cool till evening. It is then drawn off by cranes or siphons into vats sufficiently large, not only to contain this quantity, but also the evening's meal or milking, w hich is mixed with it; anel these vats are then put by, to stand to- tollv undisturbed, till the whole acquires a suffi- cient degree of acidity. The time required for this purpose varies a little, according to the heat of the weather and temperature of the milkhoiisc. The point is ascertained by the formation ol a strong thick brat or scum on the surface, which then becomes uneven. The two succeeding milk- ings are treated in the same way, kept of course, in separate vats, and after standing for at least two entire days the whole is put into the churns By this method the dairy churns three days in the week. Some oiflie milk is thus a little longer kept than other portions, but this docs not effect -t¡'jality 0" tl, The "Ji:k- and wnda 'S- churned m the Tl-li'Vhv- J ing ,hat1 Of TUlda)' Wednesday, iuiu Ii^f' morning, on the Iurday and Thun,; (:\l:! nigs; and tbt of F nday and Saturda■y r day morning.

AN EXTRA Ol\J>o;Ry,n avaricious man, who kept a very scanty table, dining ope day with his son at an ordillarv in Cambridge, whispered in his cnr, Tom, you lnut cat for to-day nnù to-morrow."

CouuAon.—Some British Officers, who were prisoners at Verdun, went one moruing into the billiard-room, intending to play, but, finding the tables engaged, they requested the players to al- low tliem to take their places whell the game was finished. One of the players who (was a baker) turned round, and said he should not do so, as he and hi. friends were determined to prevent the English enjoying the amusenwnt of playing at billiards. Voung Lord-, who was one of the Otlicers present, and who was standing close to the baker when lie made this insolent speech, seeing the window wide open, seized the culprit by the collar and the breech, and threw him into the garden. Fortunately, tlie man was not ôe- riously injured, and, after making ti?e uf mut oP'I' probrious language to the British Ollicers, the Frenchmen illistcJ that Lord should give tiie baker satisfaction for the personal insult, and that he should for this purpose meet him with pistols the following morning. Lord agreed to do so, notwithtanding the advice of all his friends, who urged hilll not to lower himself so much as to fidlt with a paltry tradesman. Lord how- ever, only said, in answer to all the arguments used to dissuade him from it, "Do you think I will affront any man without givillg satisfaction lie, therefore, went out the next uwmillg, and the baker having Jired at Lurù- without wounding him, waited to receive his Jire in return. The Nobfe-man, instead of discharging his weapon, said to the baker, Although Lord-- has con- descended to allow a baker to tire at him, still, he cannot degrade himself so much as to level his pistol at a baker if, therefore, you are not satis- fied you may lirc away till you are." The baker and his friend werc so astonished and dL?ii?l?t?d with the Nobleman's courageous and resolute conduct that they acknowledged their error and promised to avoid giving further offence to the liritish pri::Mners,-6ililit\.u'Y Anecdotes in the Unit- Scnicc Mar/. A Cuitiot s Dm;)( STOIIY.—Miss II, 11. was on a visit to lr, and 11being very intiiliate with the latter, shared her bed. One night she was awakened by the violent sobs of her companion, and upon ent. eating to know the cause, shc said, "I have seen my dear brother, and he has been taken prisoner." It is scarcely necessary to inform the reader that Major Andre Was thcn with the .British army dunllg the heat of the American v?ir. B: soothed her friend Ihoie:e:l": v h:sI t llu ;:l I:: starcd up, exclaiming, they are t?yi?ig him as a spy," and she described the nature of the Court, the.proeeedings, and the appearance of the judge, and prisoner, with the greatest minuteness. Onec more then the poor sister's terrors were calmed by her friend's tender representations, but a third time she awoke, screaming that tliey were hang- ing him as a spy, on a tree and ill his regiment- als, with many other ciicunistanccs'. There was no more sleep for the hi ends they got up and cntered each in her own pocKet-book thc particu-I lars stated by the tenur-otrickl'n sister, with the dates, and UJth agreed to keep the source ot their own presentiments aml fears hom the pour mother, fondlv hoping that they were indeed built oule- ly Ol" the baseless lubric of a vision." But, alas soon as ncw», in iliusc day, could (;:oss the Atlantic, the fatal tidings came, and, to the deep awe as well as grief of the young ladies, every cir- cumstance was exactly imparted to them as had been shadowed forth to the fond sister's sleeping hmey, and had happencd 011 the very day preced- ing the night 01 her dream!

AN ESTAIIUSIIMLXT DOG.—The Minister of a parish, in the pleasant valley of the L'rr, had a dog in his posstsssion which was wont to attend the latuily, regularly e\ery ;:j¡¡mlay to Church, where it remained very quietly at kISt, it it did not join in the services. Hut tile dIsruption came, and changed all tÍlse things. The Clergyman kit his l'aîÏsl1 Church, and now pieachcd m sollie tem- porary place of worship. Not so, however, his humble friend of the canine race. Oil the first Sunday after the secession, the dog came alone to the iiiaiisc pew, and snuffed about in great tribu- lation at finding it empty: he remained, how ever, during the service, and has continued regularly ever stnee attenùing the Established Church as formerly, even though he ha to prueecJ thiher to all alone bv himself."

He then sprung his mine by the aid of a lucifcr match, in the hope of thu bringing down the best part of the covey, but instead of which he blew him- self, burning his face and hands, and making a terrible flight ol' house i'. The silly iellotv hur- ried off to a doctor, having had quite enough of gunpowder. IIISTOICY.—On the 22d of March last as the Marie Louise, a Belgian ship, was home- ward-bound, olf Brest, a sailor named Dcrichler, fell from the topgallantmast into the sea. The wind and sea were so high that it was found inl- possible to lower a boat for his relief; but a hen- coop was thrown to him, which he succeeded in reaching, and to which he clung till lie was lost sight ot. So one could tell how long he had corn- batted with the violence of the stonu, otrugglillg against certain death, or in how s hort a time he had yielded to fatigue, and sunk beneath the waves. Nothing more was heard uf him, and the crew regarded him as dead. On the 13ih of last month, the day that Queen Victoria landed at Ostend, this poor ",Iilur laudell there also, lie re- lated that he had kept himself alloat for twenty- four hours, and that 011 the IHoruing after his im- mersion he was discovered by an Knglish vessel, which put oft a boat to his assistance, awl,;avecl him. In this he made a voyage to the Indies, and then returning to England, instantlv eroosed over to Ostend. What a joyful surprise tur hi" aged mother, who had wept for live months — t reltd, paper.

Sr. OI.AVK'S Ciifiirn.—A meeting of the pa- nshionei's of St. Oluvc's, Southwark, was held on xhujsdav, to consider the he.>t means of res- tormg the church, which haeilatclybcendestroyed j by fire. ihe church was partially insured in the i Phoenix Oiiice, which had handsomely, without dispute, paid into the Westminster liank, on ac- count ul the churchwardens, £ 5,9.30. Two pro- posals were submitted to the meeting, one to restore the church oil its present site. and the other to seek a new site, and sell the ground on which it originally stood, which, from its having a river frontage, it was calculatell would produce! The firt proposal was almost unanimously adopted, and a committee elected to enquire whether it would be most ex- pedient to entirely rebuild the church, or to retain such poition as was yet standing, throwing a roof over the walls, and building a new tower In the former case the expense, it was calculated, would be ;tbullt ti(),Ooo, in the latter, about one half the sum. To the neighbouring Hectors, who hall offered to accommod71te the parishioners to the best of their power, the thanks of the meeting were offered, and a resolution come to that the boys' schoul in Bermondscy should be fitted up as a temporary place of worship until the church could be restored.
