noble and horned lord's persisting in attempts to run down the Irish landlords, on the authority of state ments originating from parties whose only object was to attain an unenviable notoriety. lord BitounwAX Amid that he had done that of which he wag as tinted : She cases to which he had referred, no doubt sere meneptions to the general rale, but they wets • •id the lees teas on that coconut . The noble and imraed lord then presented a petition from Hull on die abject of juvenile offenders, stating that he . we ed with those who thought it would be right that the subject of the abolition of wampertation should come before the house in the daps of a bill. He was prepared to move that a c ommittee be appointed to examine into the execu tion of the criminal law, particularly with reference to the transportation of young offenders. Lord Rana'? thought the experiment proposed by Earl Gan, on a former night, was one of so much magni tude s ad importance, as to require an expression of des opinion of both houses of parliament upon it. Unless that coarse were pursued, it appeared to him that the prerogative of mercy vested in the crown might seemingly be endangered, if not abused. Earl GUY reminded the noble lord that the law of the pan try gave, and always had given, to the crown • de power of deciding how certain classes of offenders sentenced to transportation should be disposed of. The magnitude of' the change he had tat a for mer night propounded had been over rated, in asmuch as transportation as a punishment was not to be abolished, all that was to be changed was the places at which its consequences were to be car ried out. Lord BROUGHAM contended that a minister would deserve impeachment, if, because he was op nosed to capital punishment, be endeavoured to abo lish the system by the mere exercise of the pireroga live of the crown. Lord CAMPBELL was of opinion that all the government proposed to do might be done without an Act of Parliament. Earl GREY said, that ander the plan he had suggested, the punishment would not be capricious es it was at present, but would be subject to known rules. In the House of Commons, a new writ was ordered far the city of Canterbury, in the room of J. Bradshaw, Bsq, deceased. Lord BENTINCK presented a peti tion from the association of Spanish bondholders, stating that the only chance of redress against the had faith of the Spanish government was their coming So that house praying that it would take their claims into consideration, and afford them such relief as it might deem Bt. Viscount PALMERSTON, in answer to Mr. Hume, said, with reepeet to the Brazilian slave trade, that it was not the intention of the government to repeal the act of 1845, which declared the trading in slaws, carried on under the Brazilian flag to be piney, unless the government of that country should agree in a treaty for the suppression of the trade altogether. On the question of going into com mittee on the Landed Property (Ireland) Bill, Mr. Bonecx, in an introductory speech, moved the fol lowing resolution, " That any plans of relief for the distress of the Irish poor by means of loans to the owaers of property in Ireland, would be unjust and impolitic unless accompanied by &system of taxation, which would subject such property to the burdens already imposed upon all property throughout Great Britain." An animated discussion ensued, in which Sir R. Peet and Lord J. Roseeti. took p art, against the motion, which was eventually lost, by a majority el ninety-nye, after which the bill was committed, various clauses giving rise to some discussion. Nome° could be more temperate, more dignified, ar more just, than Lord JOHN Russent's declarations in parliament respecting Cracow. Had they pro seeded from the pen of the historian, instead of coining from the mouth of the politician, they could not have been a more solemn and considerate and frank exposure of the truth. Our right of complaint, or of retaliation, against the three powers, and especially against Austria, is fully proved. If we think it politic that the stipulations of the Treaty of Vienna should be considered null, sad that the HitiOHE of Europe should lapse into a state of nature, of war, or semi-war with each other, and in a state of chaos, as far as international rights are concerned, we have good ground and pretext for declaring that sueh shall be the case; and there can be no fitter mode of follow ing up the declaration than by mulcting Russia of the annual sum which Mr. Hume proposes to withhold. Let us, however, be fully aware of what we are doing. To certain parties, who entertain vague and sentimental ideas of foreign policy, it may seem very harmless and very liberal to have a fling at Russia ; just as, to certain other parties, it seems very spirited and inconsequential to direct diatribes and missiles against France. Both are determined not to go to war. They express a horror of it; and Mr. HUME declared thatsuch a contingency was farthestfrom his thoughts. There is, however, a state of rivalry, of mistrust, and El-will, which, in the present far-spreading relations of great empires, touching each other in so many minute points, geographical and political, becomes quite as dangerous, critical, and expensive as war. We have had ample demonstration of what it was to be on such terms with France, when every packet, every vessel, brought tidings of collision and dispute. On the shores of Africa, in the Oulf of Mexico, in the island ports of the Pacific, on the farthest seas of the globe, as well as in the seas and lands of Europ the authorities, and officers, and agents of England sad France were in eternal strife. Popular attention sae roused,—the journals on both sides thundered. lesisteas in France were obliged to spread sail before the popular wind, increase navies and armies, sanction searamtunents, and approve of bullying agents whom at heart they reproved. Ministers in England, having to deal with that lion-public in their country, which refuses to be roused or teased or resentful for small things, continued mild, and meek, and suf ferant, and courteous, which merely aggravated their neighbour's arrogance. Need we depict the dangers and the cost to us, both in character and money, of this diplomatic war—a kind of war in which England always has the worst? We have had similar experience of a semi-war with Russia. Public opinion was indeed less active and kiss roused on either Bide to take part in it. But the agents of the Russian government form a little public of themselves; and when the international rivalry , was at its highest, their agents, as we well know, stirred all Asia as well as Europe against us. Amongst other small items, this struggle of intrigue and riva lry with Russia forced us into the cost and the disasters of the Affghanistan war. For the last year we have had breathing time from the struggle with Russia. Whether it was that our retreat from Affghanistan emiciliatsd, or the general tone of European polities drew Remain closer to us, certain it is that we have seared to feel the active influence of Russian diplomacy directed against us, as it was our wont to do at Con stantinople, Vienna, Paris, Washington, Teheran, and in the states south-eastward of the Caspian. Mr. Hums's, motion is neither more nor lees than a revival of this extinct seed-war with Russia, and this at a time when we are worse prepared for it than, perhaps, at any period of our history. If any see doubt of this, we would first direct his attention to Ireland—the mention of the name is enough. We wield next point to Paris and Madrid. Indeed the difficulty would be to find the spot which does not abound in difficalties, dangers, and troubles to us. As to an ally, a support, a branch to rest on, we might send thrth Mi. Hume as a dove from our island Irk, and he might make the tour of the globe with eel Wing one friendly spot to light upon. If oar petition at home and in Europe is not such as to eseourage as to even a semi-war with Russia, mint is oar position in India ? We have just con gested there a grea t empire, which we fi nd - difficult to possess or gunmen, and which we either grudge or maw* afford the number of troops necessary to men. This newly-conquered region—for Sands insladed—eztande from Camwe to the Meath of the Wok It has re-awakened the fears et every tribe and every nation beyond, creating alarm "in in the court of Persia.

Bath is state of our immense Indian frontier, and its suesielbjest millions. And Mr. Hums beg s as, ke the mke of economising 100,0001., to set Russian Er r erJedowl, and gold lavished by Russian agents, Ira* at disturbing this immense frontier, and *err,* as into a hest of petty and expensive wars, ma week of which would ost more than all the Womb of all the Russo-Dutch loans that were ever eanmeted._ We do, therefore, deprecate any such vote as Mr. Hoya Prop, or any manifestation of opinion, stranger or less temperatethen rizr e riglXl3.

We do not join with the French at all in the absolute necessity, which they acknowledge, of two countries always plotting to rob a third. This has been done at Cracow, and it has also been done at Madrid. If this be pers i sted in, we most forswear all alliance, and stand the chance of isolation. The dream ,and delight of every liberal mind has long been, and must still be, the hope of England and France uniting, not for the purposes of seltaggreadisement, but for mutual security, and for the peaceable and fair protection of their popular interests and free governments, which spring up as the citizen classes develop themselves. If France, under guise of pro tecting such intereeta,merelylaboun for her own selfieh ends and for the predominance of parties who confiscate and retard public liberty, and constitute themselves, like Isvunrrz and Commit, the mere valets, not even of France, but of the Tuileries, we cannot keep company with France in so disgraceful, and mean, and unfair an alliance. We shall never abandon the hopes of a liberal and frank alliance with the French people. But as long as their government conducts its policy by such base trickery as that displayed to bring about the Spanish marriages, and as long as the French charabere uphold a minister and monarch in playing so vile • peat, we must really suspend any wish for intimate connexion. And whilst. thus &reed to suspend alliance with France, we must be excused from volunteering, upon any sentimental grounds, a quarrel with either Austria or Russia. IN another column will be found a remarkable let ter addressed to the editor of the Northern Warder, by a gentleman who has taken a very active part in the establishment of schools under the Free Church of Beadand, in which the real nature of the government pima of education is so plainly stated, and the futi lity and whined of the objections made to it, so shady exposed, that comatent unnecessary. We wry, however, remark, that on some of the topics in cidentally introduced, we do not quite agree with Mr. Lawn ; we do not comprehend the points at issue be tween the Free Church and the Voluntaries, and so far are we from sharing his objections to the Irish Board of National Education, that we be li eve that board to be founded on the best and soundest principles. Sines the date of Mr. Lawn's letter, Mr. BAINES has given a new and stampeded turn to the controversy ; he has turned from voluntaryism and dissent to the highest of' high church authority, and ised, as his leaders, Lord STANLEY and the Areh • of CANTERBURY ! lie avers that a parliamentary grant in aid of national education is unconstite un less accompanied by an act of parliament to establish the system and details of distribution. He must know very little of the history of oar times if he is not aware that such grants have been made every year since the commencement of the present century. For more than twenty years to the board that managed the Irish charter schools—fee more than ten years to the Kildare-place Society—and for more than ten years to the Irish Board of National Educa tion—a board originally constituted by Lord STANLEY himself. He must be strangely blind to what goes on around him if be does not know that parliamentary grants for the relief of Irish distr ess, for public works, for ordnance surveys, and indeed for almost every purpose to which such grants can be applied, involve the appointment of a staff of inspeo tors, overseen, secretaries, and clerks, just as formi dable to those who dread the extension of ppaatrtroonnaaggee as the staff annexed to the Educational Committee of the Privy Council. It requires no little courage to appeal to the oppo sition of 1839 for any constitutional principle, or fore anything on earth save an unscrupulousness in faction which has no parallel in modern history : The liberal' ministry was so weak that its adversaries saw that a slight accession of strength would enable them to overthrow the MELBOURNE Cabinet, and they' sought that strength by entering into allies* with every popular prejudice on which a factions cry could be founded. " Protection to British Indy* try !" " Protection to Colonial Interests !" "Me Popery!" "The Church in Danger !" and many dal lar devices were employed simultaneously, and, as we all know, with sines.. That such cries were restious and unfair we have the best possible evidence, and that is, the subsequent adoption by the Conservative party of all the measures which they thus denounced. If Sir ROBERT PEEL resisted the Educational Com mittee of the Privy Council in 1839, within a few months he became one of its moat strenuous promoters and supporters ;—if a majority of the House of Lords voted for its abolition, some of that majority in a brief space became active and energetic members of that body. Lord STANLEY, we grant, did not give such unequivocal proofs of repentance, but still he was a member of the ministry by which that Educational Committee was continued, and since his late seces sion from office he has not breathed a syllable against that body. How any man calling himself a liberal could take his authority from proceedings so obviously factious, is to us utterly incomprehensible. We sincerely wish that the proceedings of that unhappy time would be buried in oblivion, and that those who took a share in that factious opposition would be allowed the benefit of that repentance which their actions subsequently evinced. But when we find a precedent of faction quoted with approbation, is there not reason to fear that principles of faction have been adopted ? We regret that Mr. BAINES has recalled a course.. proceedings so sadly injurious to the charade: public man. Nemesis has had her Una. Oa *el announcement of the decisive majority which plated the late ministry in power, an eminent prelate, attached to the Conservative party, exclaimed, " There is now nothing to fear, except that Pales pad Opposition may be his future ministry." The Aar was prophetic ; the result jastitied the prediction. We have no fear that the great Dissenting interest et • England will adopt the factious and dangerous ipresedent so conveniently disinterred by Mr. BAINES for their guidance; nothing could more clearly mani fest the nature of the opposition which it is the object of that gentleman to get up; he wishes to be the Lord STANLEY of dissent, and we heartily wish his lordship joy of so faithful an imitator, and so sedulous a disciple. But we doubt the chances of what we may be allowed to call Slanierhip finding favour with the Non-Conformists in this country ; we ens believe that this unwary exposure of the direction is which they are about to be led, will came many to pause and ponder on the course they should Already several have begun to think that = li ts wisdom in the advice of the Oriental sage, " Blame not before thou bast examined the truth ; understand first and then rebuke." All the invasions of the constitution by prerogative, which Mr. Barns painfully enumerates, are utterly beside the none ; because parliamentary greats for educational and other purposes to be expended by a staff appointed by the executive are of yearly occur rence in England and in every free country. If Mr. BAINES contends that national education is not a purpose to which national funds should be devoted, there is an end of the matter,—he is beyond the reach of reason or argument—we leave him alms is hie glory. But there is a passage in the nonskid= of hie address which we cannot pima over ; it heasrds a prophecy, and it more than insinuates a threat. Gentlemen, the eye, of your constituents are upon . you. The Liberals and Thamenteri among them, with useedingly few exceptions, view the measure with a degree et dread amil abhorrence which words would ill express. It hmy firm conviction that unless this measure should be ahandensel, ear party at the coining general election will be Wad up end scanned to the winds. The scenes of 1784 ',JUMP mreneend. Lord Jam Bead will saceince hie party; amidea of his state education will SW into the hands of Manley tea Bentinek Now this is not the first time that we have heard similar threats from smell and one-ideed sections of the liberal party addressed to the general body— threats which simply amount to this: " If you in the legislature do not vote against your convictions to please us, we at the hustings will vote against our convictions to vex you." We heard the same me nem, and from the same quarters, at the time when the Dissenters' Ihapel Bill and the Maynooth grant were under discussion; and, irrespective of our opinion of those measures, we felt then what we feel now, that if a party could be held together only on the condi tion of submitting to such dictation, the u3oner it was broken and scattered to the winds the better. But we believe no such thing; we believe that now, as in times past, the liberals and the nonconformists in the electoral body will be guided by recognised principle, and not by avowed faction. r -T-- 1 , Whitt on this subject we may as well correct en error into which the Morning Chraniek has fallen. It represents the masters, trained in normal schools, as intended to form "an inferior order of clergy," to be admitted to the diaconate by the bishops. The principle laid down b 7 the Committee of Council directly contradicts this, and renders it impossible. It is not permitted seen to an inspector to hold a cure of souls, as the person aeoepting each office owes all his time and his entire allegiance to the state. If this be the rale with inspectors, it will be much more rigidlp the rule with respect to masters, who certainly will be allowed to perform no clerical func tions. 'Though how far the mere title of deacon may in some instances be awarded them, we know not. This terror of an " inferior order of clergy," to be reared by state funds in normal school,, is a bugbear of the BAINES school. Ir will have been observed, that in consequence of the Moms of Baron Purr, Beijeant GASELEE is sup plying his place upon the Oxford circuit. Without intending any disrespect to the learned serjeant, who possesses, we believe, considerable learning and ability, we may well express • doubt whether it is possible for any person in his position to perform the duties of the Bench as intidactorily as one of the su perior judges. If the assinitp et employing a me jesmt as one of the judges el melee wee an exception to the general rule, the ineonvenimete might net perhaps, require remark ; but expanse prom eat, as might be expected on a calesdatine of chodeek sae out of fi fteen judges, all adenoid in life, in alma every alternate monk disabled Emu perforedeg ide duties.

In providing for a temporary vacancy on the eir emit, the LORD CHANCELLOR is practically limited in his choice, not only by the restrictions of the law,' but by th e impossibility of inducing any serjeant in very extensive practice to interrupt it for the sake of • temporary, and not very profitable, appointment. He eon only appoint a judge, who has either, like the late Berjeent ATCHERLEY, almost retired from prac tice, or on. who has not yet arrived at the first rank in the prudes. When a junior seijeant is selected, it is evidently impemible for him, howeverlearned and able be nay im either to secure' eneral confidence in his decisions. et to exercise over the leaders of the circuit the stiMi, influence which ought to proceed from the Bea* Those under whom he held a junior brief a week before, and is likely to hold one again six weeks hewn, cannot be expected to regard him with asitraiss, or to yield their own opinions to his entimity. It is altogether unseemly that the senior Qessn's - andsant, for instance, who. after the law allows at the crown, takes precedence of the whole Ms et England, should argue Hay after day before a reof his own court. Though Stejeant Tstroune sespable of taking advantage of his relative position to diminish the doe authority of the court, it is impos sible that his rank and experience should not weigh with juries, though it may not influence the judge . : and we may presume that a similar inconvenience is likely to arise in the case of other leading counsel. The popular feeling on the subject was sufficiently shown, three or four years ago, by a high sheriff of more candour than politeness. At the Spring Circuit, in consequence of the pressure of business at the' preceding assize town, a junior serjeant had been' sent in advance of the judges to open the commis sion, and had been mistaken by the sheriff for the ridge, and treated with corresponding respect ving discovered hie error, the sheriff was greatly annoyed at having compromised himself by a degree of deference which he thought altogether beyond the claims of a mere setjeant. In the summer, when the judge in person entered the sheriff's carriage, he was astonished by the abrupt question—. Pray, my lord, are you a real judge this time, or have they fobbed us off with a serpent again ?" Another bad result of the appointment of a tem porary judge will probably be found in the increased number of applications to the court above for new trials, and of other modes of appealing from the de cisions at nisi Arius. In ordinary cases, even when the judge who tries the cause is of • different court from that in which it is depending, it is known that his opinion will have a certain weight with the court in bane, if any farther question is raised, or if his ruling is impeached. Attornies and counsel, moreover, are influenced by his opinion, even when they dissent from it, and require strong grounds to induce them to at tempt to overthrow it. It is evident that these conside rations will apply less forcibly in the case of a judge of inferior rank ; and that even if the chances of judicial error are not multip li ed, the probability of additional litigation is greatly increased. It will at any rate soon become n to re move the restrictions imposed by the act of DWAID 111., since the late opening of the Court of Comma Pleas to the bar in general, it is not likely that imp barristers will hereafter be ambitious of the expensive honour of the coif. The race of sergeants will die out in a short time, after many centuries of flourishing existence. It would still, however, be provide against the inconvenience of appointing ad. vocates of the second rank to fill the place of judges, who are temporarily disqualified from acting; and • mode may be suggested which would both remove the objectionable practice, and be otherwise beneficial to the administration of ustice. Of the fi fteen judges, fourteen are engaged on the eight circuits. the fifteenth remaining in town to attend at the judges' chambers. The business transacted at chambers which goes on both during the circuits, and at other times, is of • minute and technical kind, and is undertaken by all the judges in rotation. Besides granting writs of habeas corpus and certiorari, the judge at chambers exercises the jurisdiction of issuing summonses and making orders on innumerable points of pleading and practice, subject in some cases to an appeal to the court, in other cases deciding finally. The knowledge required to discharge these duties satisfactorily, is of • peculiarly technical character, and can only be acquired by long experience. Some judges who are well qualified for the higher duties of their office, find themselves em barrassed by the complication of petty di ffi culties .which they have to grapple with atchambers, of ques tions which no principle will help to solve, and which it is neverthelese of great importance to decide accord ing to established rules. " First, then, comes," said a late 'judge, "a white-haired attorney's clerk, and then a red-haired attorney's clerk, and then a black haired attorney's clerk, and I really do not know what any one of them wants." .

Why, then, did these Man chester men vote on the question? Why did Mr. OBEG speak, and Mr. CHEETHAM write, in favour of stopping the trains--instead of leaving the Scotch shareholders to decide on the matter P We admire sincere piety, and we prefer even an extra spice of Puritanism to the opposite error; but when a starched outward demeanour is combined with such lax habit. of dealing, the contrast is offensive in the extreme. After all this manceuvring, the Sabbatarians will carry their point it appears (if they do carry it), by some hundred votes, with more than 6,000 votes given on each aide. This cannot finally decide the question, which must continue to be agitated to the great de triment of the company's affairs. Really, the new directors are doing wonders. They have plunged the company into three or four law snits they are irritating the public by withholding proper accom modation; and they have allowed the Caledonian, by getting the Wishaw and Colinas into their hands, to afford a more direct line of transit between Edinburgh and Glasgow, than the railway named after these two cities. All these things must in time affect the divi dends : and for what the sacrifice is made we have indicated above. We have received the despatches of our Paris oar- respondent, with letters from our correspondents at Rome, Constantinople, Mosul, &c. • The Paris joanaL of Sunday are occupied princi pally, with reports of, and comments on, the defeat of the Cabinet on the question of parlia mentary reform in the Chamber on Saturday, which we announced in general terms in oar correspondence of yesterday. This result proves, that however absolute the control may be which the government exercises in France over the majority of the Chamber, there is above the government itself a paramount power in public opinion which will still, at least in extreme cases, assert its sway. The English reader may, perhaps, require to be reminded that no question can be brought before the Chamber of Deputies by any independent member without being first sanctioned by three, at least, of the nine bureaux or standing committees, before which all subjects of discusion must be brought in the first instance. In the present case every effort was made by the government to smother the clues. tion of parliamentary reform proposed for discussion by M. Duvergier d'Hauranne. The Journal des 'Wats published, on Saturday morning in its lead ing article, a denouncement of the discussion, and injunctions were sent to all the satellites of the cabinet, and entreaties to all its friends, to use their exertions to suppress the question. Notwith standing this, a majority was obtained in three bureaux, and consequently the object of the cabinet was defeated. In two of the remaining six bureaus there was a bare majority to support the ministry; the division in one being 22 against 21, and another 21 against 19. Taking the total result of all the nine bureaux, 360 deputies voted, of whom 173 gave their votes against the cabinet. It is not difficult to see, from this state of things, that the actual electoral system of France is not destined to be long-lived. The main features of the reform now proposed are, an extension of the suffrage by diminishing the amount of the qualifications of an elector, and by admitting in certain cases an intellec tual qualification in lien of the condition of property, the second feature being the augmentation of the , number of representatives. The Levant mail was received in Paris late on Saturday evening, bringing letters from Constanti nople to the 18th ult. An important modification had taken place in the Ottoman ministry. Naffs-Pacha had resigned the ministry of Finance, and was re ' placed by Sarim-Effendi, represented as being one of the most able men in Turkey.

The Italians are gifted by nature with a high order of intelligence, and whenever the swathing bands by which their very infancy is enveloped are removed, their native energies are in immediate evidence. The growth of public spirit in Rome, within a few months, resembles the 'sudden exuberance of a Russian er Cana dian summer. Among the clergy liberal opinions are professed with a marvellous enthusiasm, which, under the late Gregory, di frattesea memoria, would have not only barred all chance of promotion, but involved more serious consequences. The public journals teem with the effusions of clerical penmanship in favour of political reform. In yesterday's Cotemporaneo, so ably edited by the prelate Ouzel*, the leading article is on the " liberty of the press," and the same paper contains vigorous essays en the " right of petition," the necessity of a " penny postage," and the sacred duty of every citizen taking pet in politics, " it '.seluppansento della vita publica.

Akmadirla to 'Mesta Trieste to London 193 lel Totals By this table you will observe that, in the total of the six journeys, the Trieste Or German route has had an admn tyre over its rival of 78 hours, averaging thirteen hours on each journey. This amounts, I consider, to a decisive visteey over the Marseilles route, especial) y when the dr anseetances et these trial journeys are mmddered. Let us midi% them, the Idtsbances against which the Trieste route he/ had to contead. in the first place, it may be observed, that the Freneh courier service has been well oeganised for some years, while, through Germany, all the ananaements have been only provliional and hastily got up. Again, in the second and third trials, you will recollect that the Marseilles boat, the Ariel, made her un commonly rapid pass ges, while the Triage boat, the Ardent, has required fer ito pump (on an average of the six jour neys) not less than 1484 hours, or upwards of as days. On the other hand, the Led journey through Germany bas been aotompished (still taking the average of the six trials) in the spans of 106 6-8 homy, though here there have been difficul ties which will be removed by future plasm Yet, even in the incipient stage of the enterprise, aeither the mews of the Alps, nor the ineenvemence of a roues through seven distinct Matta (each requiring peculiar arrange ments) have prevented our maintairimg the speed and regularity of the land journey. It is possi ble that some patieulare in the above table may admit of alight corrections ; but the totals are certainly fair, and, on the whole, are allowed to incline favourably toward the Marseilles route, rather than otherwise. Thus, in the first two journeys, 24 hours are allowed in favour of the French poet ; beaase it carried the whole mail, while Lieut. Waghorn's courier carried only the despatches. The French journals may pick out some small points for criticism in this ointment, but they will find nothing like the assertion lately made by the Courier Francais and the Carrier de Mar seille, that, in the fifth journey, the Ardent leR Alex andria sooner than the Ariel. The two boats started from Alexandria at the same hour. What Trieste barn lost on the land journey may be all reduced to the imperiled ar. raragements of the service hitherto with regard to the rail. way-expremes. The twenty-four boon in the second journey were lost on the rail between Cologne and Ostend, and the same MOH will explain the lea of the ten hours is the led jimmy. In winter, the Rhine steam passage could not be employed, nor meld we avail ourselves of the Teams Rail way, while the Baden Railway has been employed for us only twice. In the seesaw tWee detests will be remedied; but let us only see the rails down frqpn Trieste to Ostend, and there will be no need of further argument, as there will not be a shadow of a doubt than remaining respecting the superiority of the German overland post. ERTlller SCHWAZZII, Editor of the Austrian Lloyd's Newspapers. London, March 8. CONSTANTINOPLE.—Our correspondent writes thus:—" Feb. 18.—Immediately on his arrival, M. Musurus, the Turkish minister at Athens, repaired to the Porta, where ho had a long interview with Ali Effendi, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. At the conclusion of the Interview, the grand council assembled, and remained in de liberation till late in the afternoon. The council will assemble . . again to-morrow, when a final determination will be come to with regard to the line of conduct to be adopted by the TSUI , sh government in the difference which has arisen between Greece and the Porte. A certain activity was visible in the arsenal this morning. Two ships of war Dave moved out to the entrance of the har bour and are evidently on the eve of departure. It was the unanimous opinion of the representatives of the five great powers that M. Musurus bad acted correctly in demanding has passports and returning to Constantinople, on the re fuel of M. Coletti to comply with the demand made to Dim ' through their envoy by the Turkish government." PARAGUAY.—Sir,—An extract from the British Packet—an English paper, published in Buenos Ayres—has appeared in Reverel of the daily papers, in which it is stated that Senhor Lopez, the president of Paraguay, had refused the terms offered by the Argentine government, and appeared determined to separate Paraguay from the Argentine Con federation. This is, I think, an attempt on the part of cer tain parties in Buenos Ayres, to impress the European pub lic with the idea that Paraguay has hitherto formed part of the confederation, and thus justify the conduct of the Buenos Ayrian government, in denying its right to be considered an independent state. It is well known to all who have visited South America, that Paraguay has been and still is as independent as either Chili or Bolivia ; and with an industrious and tractable population of above a mil lion and a half, physically superior to that of any other South American state, and a climate and soil producing sugar, coffee, cotton, and tobacco, in perfection, it is worthy of much more attention than it has hitherto received. Prom being shut out from all intercourse with foreigners, little has yet been done beyond producing a sufficient quantity of these articles for their own consumption ; while, at the same time, they have been compelled to manufacture all the clothing and other goods that they required. But if their independence wu ackaowledged, and the right of free navigation of the Parana secured to them (this being their only outlet), in a few yaws we should be receiving large supplies of sugar, At., the produce of free labour, in exchange for our goods. Not only would the opening of the Parana be beneficial to the Paraguayans; but the Ar gentine provinces on its banks—particularly Concentes and Santa Fee—would be equally benefited ; and a great portion of the produce of Bolivia, which is now conveyed to the shores of the Pacify by expensive land-carriage, would find its way down the Paraguay and Penns rivers. At present there would be no difficulty in obtaining from Boner Lopes a favourabb treaty, which would secure the exclusion of enery boa dee penises; but if it is to be still neglected by ZOMPpia undue, Sid sifted to depend on the adjoining aspire of der countenance and protection, we may expect a very different state of things to arise. Should it prove true that the provinces of Corrientes and Entry Rios have determined to be independent of the authority of Ream, it will do more than anything to secure peace, and remove all difficulty to the free navigation of the rivers, as the power of Roue would then be confined to the right bank of the Parana, and the provinces of Corrientes and Ectre Rios, under Urquiza, would form an effectual barrier between the Argentine provinces and the States of Paraguay, and the Banda Oriental.-8.--March b. Ijudge& The indirecMesa of the means by which the oppo• nents of Sunday trains on the Edinburgh and Glas gow Railway have laboured to prevent their being resumed, is painful to contemplate. In men who lay so mach stress upon strict compliance with an exter nal sanctification of the Sabbath, it is humiliatingly pharisaical. By the laws of the company, one share gives a vote, and five shares give no more. The Sab batarians had, for some time previous to the meeting of Friday last, been chopping out their shares into the greatest passible number of votes: they have been manufacturing "paper votes" alter the old Scotch fashion of the holders of " saperiorities" in counties.

Of this line 48 miles were under contract, and the position of one of the stations would be within 10 miles of where the company had from 70 to 100,000 acres of land.

MEETING TO OPPOSE THE GOVERNMENT PLAN OF EDOCATION.—A meeting was held last evening at the Eastern Institution, Commercial-road, with a view of oppo sing the government scheme of education. The Rev. An drew Reid, D.D., presided, and several dissenting clergy men addressed the meeting. In the motives which were urged for opposing the government plan, the speakers were nearly of one mind, and we shall therefore sum up their reasons as briefly as possible. The government plan, it was argued, is utterly adverse to the most important of all liberties—religious liberty. It was conteuded that religious instruction ought not to be the business of the state, end that, therefore, education ought not to be so, since, if worthy of the name, it must include relgious instruction —they cannot be separated. The necessity of such a plan was also denied, on the plea of there being as many as 1.876,000 children now educated at Sunday-whools, and that the retort it could scarcely he needful to lay out a mil - lion and a a half of money annually for a similar purpose. This, the Rev. George Smith maintained, would be the sum required for carrying out the government plan, epee a scheme which cannot but be baneful in its consequence, taking away, as it must, all freedom of thought and opinion, and perhaps forcing the child of Baptist parents, who had never been baptised, to go through the Church catechism, . intended for members of the Established Church. These objectioes to the plan of national education were also set forth in a series of resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. The meeting, with he exception of one or two slight disputer, was conducted harmoniously, and consisted of not less than 1,000 persons. In accordance with the last resolution, a. petition wee sign rd by great numbers of the assembly as they left the meeting. DEATH OP MR. HALL, THE PI:SLIM:MR.—This gentleman breathed his last on Sunday. alter stragglier; for some time with the most severe suffering. His, name, together with that of his partner, Mr. Chapman, has been for luny years &associated with the most successful lin Tory works in the department of fiction of the present day—those of Mr. Charles Dickens. The success of the " Pickwick Papers," which were published by Messrs. Chapman and Hall, gave them a celebrity in their profession, which has since increased with the growing fame of " Box." Mr. Hall's death will be ve/y widely lamented. INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.—ACCIDENT IN THE STAR LIGHT &mamma—Mr. Bedford held a protracted inquiry at the Salisbury Arms, Dorhain-street, Strand, on the body of James Hunt, aged 52, a frame-work knitter, late of Not tingham, who lost his life on board the Starlight steamer, belonging to the Iron Steam Boat Company.—William Lumley, 78, Great Suffolk-street, Borough, deposed that on Friday afternoon last he was a psi-roger on board the Star light steamer, having got on board at the Nine Elms Pier Vauban, and saw the deceased, who was inebriated. When the veinal reached the new houses of parliament withers wits seandiag at the larboard paddle-box, at which tion the dumped advanced from the fore cabin, and, going towards the amine skylight, he stangered, and witness pailed him to the partition of the cabin stairs.
