The Autiâ€"rent agitation in Ireland seems to gather strength and importance. The late harvest has been peculiarly unfortunâ€" ate for the husbandman over the greater part of Europe aund will be followed by pri« vation and suffering among tens of thousauds of the people, but in Ireland it has wellâ€"nigh precipitated a large part of the country into open rebellion. The farmers are unable on account of the bad harvest to pay their rents, the landlords are very exacting,as landlords gencrally are, and Ireland being ever ready to lend a willing ear to the vorce of demagogues, an ngitation bas beeu cxcited in reference to rents and the land systom generally, which in some respects seem to vie with the great O‘Connpell agitationâ€"although with infinâ€" itely less show of reasonâ€"against the ponâ€" nl laws of over fifty years ago.

Mr. Gladstone on School Life. At Wellington Collage, one of the many pu‘lic schools which are dotted over Eugâ€" land, Mr. Gladstone, in answer to an adâ€" dress presented to hirg by the boys of the school, spoks at leugth as to English Pubâ€" lc Schools and the purposes of educawon. These public schools have increased very much of late years ind formed a more disâ€" tinguishing characteristic of the country than anything eise, and to which no precise parallel could be found anywhere else. Alluding to the Public School system, M. Gladstone said that it had ome capital deâ€" youths brought within its rango as if they were intended for one and the same destiny in life without any regard to the differences oftheir several capacities. However the| old system had a great merit which was that it kept in view "beyond, all other things not merely the aequiring such inâ€" formation as might be valuable in examinâ€" ations, not merely the adapting of faculties to professional success, but in the highest aud in the more inward sense, the educaâ€" tion of the man. Now, gentlemen, knowâ€" ledge has two great aspectsâ€"all the knowâ€" ledge you acquire. In one of them it is a ‘eommodity ; it is a thing, which I may say you buy, by paying for it the price of labor and exertion, and with the intention, just as you Lhave a similar intention with regard to other commeodities of life, of turning it to account, and muking it serve the purposâ€" es for which you obtainedjit in some or in . various particnlar respects. But besides being a commodity which is to serve the | several purposes of life, knowledge has a greater ar.d a higher power, It is an eduâ€" cating instrument. The great business of l this training is not merely to enable you to obtain professional success. It is to make you men, to make you men in the highest legree. It is to bring out all your capaciâ€" ties, not for the sake simply of the purpose they are to serve you in life, but for their own sake, ‘The whole oflife is, after all, simply an efucation, and the professions, the businesses to which you may be hereâ€" after devoted, nre only parts and portions of that education. Do not suppose they: are ends in themselves. Their ends, as far as you are concerned are in the effects that they produce upoun your character aud your faculties, and there comes into view what undoubtedly must be admittte be do the davger of the new system, of the modern spirit in education. I do not know whether it is owing to our degeneracyâ€"I am afraid it is the truthâ€"that we have a much smaller amount in this nineteenth century of the disinterested,‘ardent, enthuâ€" sinstic love of knowledge for its own sake t an our forefathers had 50 years ago. But be that as it may, and it is not necesâ€" sary to examine the question, this is unâ€" doubted, that our system of education is now marked by a method of sharp compeâ€" tition and of immediate rewards. I acâ€" knowledge all the benefits of that methnod ; L see the grentresults that it has produced; but there is a perilin it also, and that is the peril of your believing that when you have gone through the competition, when you bave obtained thre prize, when you are realizing professional success as the conseâ€" quence of early Cistinetion, that you shonld look upon that success as the end of your education, The end of your education is the effect which it produces upon your selvesâ€"the state to which it brings yon, and in which it leaves you. And the distinction is a very real one ; for there are many who acquire much knowledge, yet whose minds remain comparalively barren, simply beâ€" cause they have been content to look upon that knowledge as a more commodity, as a mere tool intended to work out some erâ€" terior purpose ; and they have forgotten that it is only part of a great, comprehenâ€" sive, an l noble process, to which we are all subjected in this life, for the unfolding and the ripening, and the purifying of character for enabling us in the highest sense to disâ€" charge our duty to God and to man. | It is necessary for you all not only to be stirred up to the keen pursuits, which I should be the last to discourage, of these prizes which are open to you, cither at school or in colâ€" shroud ot Bentinek, who lately was shot in the hand, died suddenly ou Monday last.

Well, gentlemen, you are here destined for many careers. But rely upon it that it is not for this or that profesâ€" sion aloneâ€"it is for allâ€"that the benefits of education are intended.

You know that when a ‘pu'iod of depression comes it beurs upon the poorer classes. Their savings have been laid up for a rainy day, and that rainy day having come they have to be tuken out ; yet when you find theso savirgs still reâ€" maining in the bank and a larger sum beâ€" mg put in, you krow that the foree of the depression does not affeet them very seriousâ€" ly. Further, it will be remembered that the tide of emigration which hitherto had flowed into the United States from Ergland almost stopped, and â€"those who continued to go thither were equalâ€" led in mnmber by those who left the United States for England. This was eaused, of course, by the knowledge o! hard times prevailing in the former country, The contrast between the condition and conduct of the masses in the two countrios was very gieat. You know that across the border towus were in the possession of lawâ€" less mobs, many places were infosted with idle, dissolute tramps, and a state of affains existed almost destructive of the social organization.

The more they are extonded the more certain it is that there will be an excessive nccumuilation of capital, and so the period of depression will be extended and intensified beyond what it would be uuder a system of free trade. There could not be a more convincing proof of this than to LOOK AT THE MASSFS OF THE POPULATION in the United States and in England durâ€" ing the course of the late depression. It is amazing _ to cousider what the position of the masses was in England during the vory height of the distress as compared with their former condition. There is an index which is most instine tive, and that is the amount of deposits in the savings banks, which are used almost or quite entire‘y by the lower classes of ‘ the population, ‘The amount of theso deâ€" On the effect which protection or restrictâ€" ive legislation must bave in increasing the burdens of the people Mr. sslake said : â€" B; a restrictive tariff you ereate monoâ€" polies that id not exist before, and these caunot be broker up for some time after the introduction of the tariff, in proportion to the dificulties in the way of establishing similar manufuctories. | Supposing there are two or three manufacturers in a certain line in Canada who are supplying the market under a «ysteimm of free competition, and you suddenly impose a prokibvitive tariff, it will be obvious that the two or three manufacturers can command profits equal to those they reaped under the former sysâ€" .
