PRUSSIA.—MERLIN, APRIL 12.—The first ple nary sitting of the united diet was opened this morning by Prince Solor-flohen-SolnieLich, as marshal of the united diet, with a short speech. He then announced the three secretaries named by him, in concurrence with the three estates, two of whom immediately entered on their functions. The royal commissioner then presented the general order of the proposals, which was read, together with the annexed special proposal, on which the marshal appointed the com mittees for the pri paratory reports. Count Von Schwerin then proposed the drawing up of an aldrein of thanks. This proposal being carried by a very large majority, a committee, of which Count Solna. Barath is preq . dent, was appointed to draw up an address. The question was then put, whether the assembly should imme diately make use of the power given it by the 24th section of the regulations, to publish its discussions, which was unanimously carried after a short debate. On a motion by the Deputy Ilansem.mn, that the Marshal should immediately name ade putation to examine those regulations, and to propose those wishes which might be formed for any change in them to to decided by the assembly, it was observed that such wishes could be brought forward only by way of petition, as prescribed by the regulation. The motion was set aside after a sh-,rt debate by referring to this mode, the marshal, however, pro mising that any proposals referring to this subject should be forwarded as i ly as possible. The plenary assembly then adjourned, and the deputies of the three orders, nobles, burghers, and commons remained in their plies. The general statement contains several proposals to be laid before the diet, among which is the general account of knees for 1847. PETERSBURG, Meeca 29.—The Emperor Nichllas was attacked on the 23rd March by an indisposition which, it was fe►red, might result in bilious fiver. In this case, the intended journey of his Majesty to Warsaw, and a projected meeting of several members of the royal family in that city, would be necessarily deferred for a couple of weeks.

Yesterday morning a meeting of gentlemen favour able t. the governmeat proposal took place in the city, in the large room of the London Tavern. The Right Hon. the Lord Miyor presided, and was supported on the platform by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Llandaff, Mr. Sheriff Kennard, Mr. S. J. Liyd, Mr. W. Cotton, Mr. J. lAl:sou chore, and a great number of clergy of the city and the sur rounding parishes. Every part of the spacious room was crowded ; but the occasional interruptions showed that the assembly was not wholly composed of the friends of the mea sure, though the dissentients were too insignificant to offer any effective opposition to the resolutions. The Loan MAYOR, in opening the proceedings, said he had the greatest pleasure in acceding to the request of a number of his fellow.citizens, by taking the chair on this momentous occasion. It was agreed, on all hands, that edu cation in this country was lamentably deficient; and means had consequently been taken by the government, in corn pliance with the express wish of the country at large, for ex tending education to the crest mass of our fellow subjects. The want of education being admitted by every class of per sons, he had been greatly surprised at Eliding that an oppo sition had suddenly been got up to a measure which had appeared formerly to be approved by all. (Hear, hear.) He was at a lose to understand this, especially as the opposition appeared to arise hem the die senters—a body of enlightened persons who generally either took the lead, or ably followed up, every good work. (Hear.) Why they had new altered their minds ho could not comprehend, unless they thought the Established Church would get a preponderance of patronage or influence. If such was the case, it was a most unworthy jealousy on their part. (Cheers, and " No, no.") He was glad to hear this denied, fur it would be a serious reflection on the dissenters to suppose them actuated by such a motive. (Hear.) He cordially concurred in the views entertained by the govern ment, and thanked them personally for assisting all those enlightened persons who were anxious to give education to every class of her Majesty's subjects. He trusted that those who dissented in some measure from the Church, would cordially co-operate in assisting to carry out this great public measure. (Hear.) The Bishop of LONDON moved the first resolution— That the ethelisi reports a inspectors or abools, and the infonna tka solkand bygoeletics and voluntary associations, save in showing Me pest ills elsrmtesy=r td i which eti t lLetiatA thiscountry an the mom of t, weal some pest public effort shall be mode to Imes,* Me quality, as well as to increase the quantity of gebnary instrealea. Mere wtU be little hope of any speedy and 'Mutual Insprespimast M the untaught maws of the populatka of Great Batas. He had felt it his duty to come forward and declare his sentiments on a question of the moat vital importance to the interests, not merely of the church, but of the country at large (hear, hear)—to its dearest and most valuable in stitutions—to the continuance and improvement of its social and moral character. The present was a most important crisis in the social and moral fortunes of this country. The question now at issue was neither more nor less than this: whether or not a great attempt should be made at that social and moral reformation of the people of this country of which they stood so much in need; whether the tide of religious and useful knowledge which had for some years past flowed at an unsteady and faltering rate, inadequate in its supply, not altogether such as could be desired in its quality--should be now propelled with an in creased impulse, in a greater mass, and with a more pure and salutary quality, to fertilise some dry and barren places the land which have so long needed the wholesome in fluence of religious and useful instruction. (Hear, hear.) The question was neither more nor less than this: whether that tide should any longer be suffered to flow as it had hitherto done, but should be augmented to a certain extant by a stinted measure of aid from the public funds—whether its volume should be augmented and its quality purified, or whether, on the other hand, that tide should be rolled back by the efforts of a few who thought it was taking a direction which however advantageous for the best interests of the country at large, would, to a certain extent, interfere with their sectional interests and views ; and whether on that account the tide, not merely of instruction but of civilise tion itself, should be rolled NA, or at least impeded, he the nest 20 or 30 years? This was not a matter width might safely be allowed to wait five or sic years ; the evil which it was proposed to meet' was continually grow ing, and if not arrested it might soon overwhelm the efforts of the country and paralyse all attempts made at its mitiga tion. (Hear.) Without entering into the religious part of the question, he would contend that the social and moral improvement of the country depended on the extension of instruction amongst those who formed the base of the great social pyramid. (Hear.) There was a lamentable connexion between physical destitution and moral depravity; the former must be removed before any successful attempt could be made to obviate the moral evils, the religions ignorance under which large mares of the people laboured. (Hear.) But that was not a question for present consideration ; the government had not overlooked this important point. A very few statistics would suffice to show the necessary connexion between ignorance and crime. In 1840 and 1841, in 20 counties, having a population of nine millions, there had bees convicted only 59 well-in structed persona ; the remaining 32 counties, with a popula tion of seven millions, did not furnish one convict who had received more than the merest rudiments of instruction. The county of Middlesex, with a population of 1,676,616, in those two years, had no t produced one educated convict, — using the word educated in the proper sense of the term, and not confining it to the mechanical arts of reading and writing,—though instruction to that extent only was not without its effect. In 1846, more than 1600 persons under 16 years of age, had passed through the House of Correction in Coldhath-flelds; of those, 630 had been tried at the Mid dlesex snaking ; and it should be recollected that a child could not be committed to prison without the most serious moral injury. From September, 1843, to April, 1846, 2,030 young boys had been in custody for trial, being an average of 66 per month ; end some had been in custody nine or ten times. From 1836 to 1848, a space of ten years, the number of persons charged with offences in England and Wales had been 262,444; of these, 84,613 could neither read nor write; 137,383 could only read, or read and write imperfectly • 22,169 meld read and write well ; and only 1,6 N had rece ived a sepsder education. This proved that the very cheapest thing that maid be, done was to educate the people. If all the Emory upended in bulks and prisons had been mad Is oeseatiogilie people when young. what a different aspect weld the emir, now present! The unquestionable result ef these Beres was that the amount of crime varied in an (mousse ram to the extent of education in my district. (Hem.) In the disturbances in the meanibelmeinsf asthieftM years ago, it was ascertained that the meat of IsMira= and violence was just is peeped= le the Amass et !Means and moral Munition, and the eensesdem Where= *Do nne* and depravity mold met he desbeed ; aid We only way to raise the condition of the people wee to extend the means of imam:don. That theme mew were now defi cient, no one denied, though pospie *OA diver a thousand or two to the numbers. It wee ..swiss* that from 800,000 to a million of the children 4 the froo.ft, or about one-sixteenth of the whole powlsifen, was doelleate of the means of instruction. This maim was set Ode* unedu cated ; if uneducated for good, they wise ewe to he edu cated for evil ; they were eagerly laid held OW the emiaea ries of evil, and assiduously trained up to the arts of dis honesty and vice. (Hear, hear.) Sorely, then, the duty of the government to interims lOW mot be doubted. By what means could government he this ?

Subsequently, the memos of Dell sad lastasia eppeered ; and then the dicea bow be Who ea aetlve puffs popu lar education ; but aortably the March mast 'IOW the credit of having been first la the field. (Hear.) Whet had been since done ? The childela taught in the day mho& of the National Society had heard es follows:—In 1813, 40,048 ; in 1833, 400,839; ha 1837, 694,911; in 1847, about 957,000. Against this sander, the number taught in the dissenters' day schools, asfaruhe had been able to collect, was 70,000. (Hear, bear.) What, thee, sum the govern. ment to do ? How were they to deal wdl the arietiog state of things? They well knew that the church woad accept no plan of education in which the religious hatraction was doled out, at intervals, and by different pour, and thu enbordinated, as it were, to the me meth hapselmet waiter of w yk r inatmiation. (Heir.) chime ww, in het, THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 17, 1847. educating the people at present; neverthelees, they had con sented to concur in a system by which assistance was given tram the public funds, on equal terms, to dissenters and churchmen. Hitherto the diwenters also had concurred in this arrangement; but now they objected, and said—" We will have none of this, because the church will get too much!" (Hear, hear.) But why was this? If the church would get the moat, it was because the gave the most. (Cheers.) Not only le, but because she showed the most effective schools ; unless this was done by the church, it would not be in a position to claim the greater amount of assistance. (Hear, hear.) Under such circum stances the government could not consistently refuse assist ance, because a small minority protested against it, and thus placed themselves in the way of the public instruction. It was impossible to get rid of the agency of the church— (cheers and some hisses ) — any more than that of the dissenters. In this argument he put out of sight the important fact that the church was an establishment of the country, and rested the case solely on the ground of what was now dote by the church, and what she bad done in the last 150 years for the cause of education. (Hear, hear.) Such being the case, he sou confident the govert.ment would persevere in the course they were pursuing. One important feature in the new plan waa,that the evstem of inspection would be improved and ex tended. (" Hear, hear," and some interruption, with a cry of" We want no money.") Who wanted money ? Not the church, hut the million of poor uneducated children. (Cheers.) If the diennters did not want money for education, why nod they taken it for the len thirteen years ? (Cheen.) In conclusion, be would ask whether the government and the people of this enristien country would outer the cause of education to be injured, and the tido of know ledge to be rolled back for years, because a small section of the people objected to this step being taken. He called the dissenters a small body with all respect ; he spoke numerically and comparative l y; he spoke of them with reference to the number of the people at large. Stould ' this movement on the part of the government be defeated, which he did not believe, the church would not be dis (*imaged in its efforts; and he believed that their Christian brethren would afterwards regret having thrown obstacles in the way of popular education, and retarded its progress, i instead of being, as they ought to be, its ardent sup ; porters. (Cheers,) Mr. S. J. Loll, seconded the resolution. He was con ; vinced that it was the great and primary duty of the higher classes to provide for the moral and religious instruction of those beneath them. He would not hese such an important duty on grounds of expediency or policy, but on those high considerations of duty which ought to actuate every one who was awake to bis position with regard to the present time and to futurity. No man living in a christian country could say he had done his duty, if he had omitted any exertion which tended to promote the education of those below his own level. (Hear.) Firmly believing that the government had been actuated by • sincere desire to discharge this great duty—a duty incumbent on each individually, and still more on theta., who were bound together as a state—(cheers, and expressions of dissent)—and that they had sought to do this in way the least objectionable to the professors of dif ferent creeds--(hear, hear)—he felt called on to support this measure to the utmost of his power, knowing that it was only by public support the government could hope to suc ceed in such a course. (Cheers.) Mr. A. CAMPBELL said he wished to support the resolu tion, as one of the working claws. He contended that the dissenters had made this a party question, instead of mani festing a desire to extend popular education. The resolution was then put and carried all but unani mously, some twenty hands only being held up against it. The Bishop of LAMDAPP moved That it is the duty of a wise and paternal government to promote religious and moral instruction as the beet mean of preventing crime, and securing a uncommon of good and useful citizens, and that this meeting, belleviag ignorance to be one of the prolific sources of vice, condders it a solemn duty to support such public measures WI may tend to remedy the social evils which are the result of moral and reli gions destitution. He thought it scarcely possible that any opposition could be raised to this resolution, taking as it did the lowest,—the merely temporal ground, —on which rested the duty of in. strutting the people. He had hoped that the dissenters would have become auxiliaries to the church in supporting this measure, knowing how much of doctrine they held in common with the church,—that they would have supported it, as a common blessing to all bodies of christians. He had certainly anticipated that the Roman Catholics would have opposed the measure. He had been all through life, the consistent advocate of the relaxation and removal of those disabilities which weighed unnecessarily on the members of that body ; but this was a wry different thing from actively supporting errors against which the church and the Ilia *enters alike protested. He thought that all wits held the scriptures to contain the whole counsel of God, and to be the rule of faith, might safely be entrusted with the education of the people ; but to those classes who held the scriptures in a different light, or who denied somefof the more important doctrines of revelation, he could not eiinscieutiously extend the same liberty. He was firmly pledged to the support of the reformed religion of the country; and he trusted the , government would not give way to the unreasoning clamour ' that had been raised, which would put oe the same footing those who only differed from the church in some matters of discipline, and these who differed on the most essential doc trines. _ _ Mr. J. LABOUCHBRE seconded the resolution : perfectly agreeing with the sentiments of the right rev. diocesan, as to the deficiency of the existing education, be would ask what was to become of the rising generation of a population increasing at the rate of a thousand a day ? (Hear, hear.) Not only were the means of education deficient, but they were wholly inefficient for the purpose. Mr. Alston's inquiries had shown that in some schools in the midland districts, 70 or 80 children out of 100 could not read a chapter in the Bible in , a proper manner. (Hear.) He felt thankful to the govern ' ment for the step they had taken; sod the poor of Ireland would also thank them. Not only so, but that neglected and useful class, the schoolmasters, would also thank go vernment for the trifling assistance afforded them to smooth their declining years. (Cheers.) As to the objection that had been raised, that the church would derive the greatest benefit from this measure, he was bold enough to say that it was more favourable to dissenters; for in those dissenting schools which received grants from government, it was ex pressly stipulated that there should be no religious exsmina tion by the government inspectors, such as took plant in the church schools. (Hear.) It was true that the friends of the church schools would never shrink from the examination ; they rather courted it, and thought it an advantage. (Hear. hear.) The great public demonstration of this day would strengthen the hands of government, and would at the same time convince those among them who valued the Bible them selves, that any attempt to separate religious and mule: instruction would be effectively resisted. (Hear.) Mr. J. R. SCARBROUGH supported the resolution. He alluded to the proceedings of the meeting at Exeter Hall, on the preceding night, and said that the object of this chairman had evidently been to malign the church, and the same animus had been shown by all the speakers. The Rev. Dr. RussEtt moved That the experience of many yes,s has now proved the Inadequacy of voluntary exertions for rupplytng the educational wants of the poor and industrial climes of the community ; and this meeting view. with satishiction the manures which have revicatly been announced by her Majesty's p erneelt, offering asaistance to voluntary efforts without euperaedtet them, and at the same time respecting the reli. gtoui scruples of those who decline to ..knowledge the Eatablislied Church as the authorised teacher of the people. If the objections to this =centre previuled, what was to be come of the existing schools, the government grata being withdrawn? The consequence would be that our gaols would be trebly filled. (Hear.) In such an event the church would no doubt de its duty; he said this in the name of his diocesan, and about 500 of his reverend brethren by whom be was accompanied. Had the voluntary exertions of the church and dissenters been sufficient, the government would not have come forward ; and it bail only done so in obedience to the urgent cry of the nation—of the poor who were perishing from lack of knowledge. (Hear.) For the last thirteen years, all parties had agreed in one thing—in accepting government eel (hear, bear) ; and because a small party now chose to say they would accept it no longer, were all the others therefore to be deprived of this assistance ? (Hear.) Nothing could be more unjust. The present plan of the government was one of great national benefit; and he entreated his Christian brethren not to allow petty animosi ties and sectarian feelings to rob the country of a boon so valuable. (Hear.) Let them unite under this motto — "The support and improvement of the poor; the honour of our God.' (Cheers.) Mr. J. D. POWLES seconded the resolution. A GENTLEMAN, whose name we did net learn, here wished to propose an amendment, but the Lard Mayor decided that it could net be entertained—the meeting b; cog avowedly one of the supporters of the measure. After considerable interruption, the resolution was put, and agreed to. Mr. W. Corroa moved— That the Menke of this meeting be given to the Lord Mayor, for his kindness in presiding on the present ecession ; and that kis lord ship be requested to transmit to the Pr eat of the Privy Council a espy of the evolutions that have hem now adopted. As one who had been engaged fora number of ' , earl in promoting the instruction of the working classes, he hailed the measures of government with the greatest delight. There had always been a great want of qualified teachers ; and this measure would tend to supply the deficiency . Mr. W. DAVIES seconded the resolution, which was put amidst considerable disturbsace,—the gentleman who had wished to propose the amendment, and his friends, loudly clamouring for the right of " free discussion," and calling out for " the amendment." The LORD Mason having suitably acknowledged the resolution, the meeting separated at a little before five o'clock. POPLAR.—A public meeting in favour of the government plan of education was held last evening at the Tewn Hall, Poplar. There was • large and respectable aseentbly, consisting of the moat influential persons in the district —Mr. C. P. Wairn was voted to the chair. The Rev. J. A. BAYNES, minister of the Cotton-street Chapel, Poplar, in moving the first resolution, observed that it had long been said, as a stigma upon any kind of minister who attended public meetings, that hewn • political dissent r ; now he was not afraid of being called a political dissenter, but he was fearful of having to accuse himself of cowardice in the people's cause. He therefore came forward on that occasion to move • resolution with regard to the government plan of education. He thought it would be next to an impossibility for government, if they touched the subject at all, to please all parties ; the problem that the old man and his ass could not solve, government were not better able to explain. For his own port, he thought that the minutes did not go far enough in some places, and went too far in others ; but to the general principle he gave his cordial support. Another objection which had been made was, that the plan was not required, and that the ends could be worked by private benevolence. Now he knew of no place where so much benevolence existed as in Poplar, but he asked them were the wants of people is that district fully met? (No, no.) And if in this pari such was the can, what could they say to the wide ex- pause or the country, where multitudes were dying in =leery and toiling in ignorance. (Hear, hear.) He held in his hand a report presented to the government in 1843, with regard to the quality of education in a number of dis tricts in Yorkshire, and he believed that very little improve ment had taken place since then. These shines it war the duty of the government to remove, and he believed that the poor man bad as much a right to claim from them in 'Unction to prevent crime, as laws to punish it. (Cheers.) The countries of Anetria and Prussia were instanced by the oppesen of the present plan, as showing the ill effects of government education • but the system was widely different, as he Instanced by the catechism of the former country, reading therefrom some extracts inculcating various principles of blind submission to sovereignty ; and he asked what was the general condition of the people of those coon trice compared to our own? There existed there a despotism which was widely distinct from the government of th is country, which could not, therefore, be subject to the same evils ; he said then that those who talk e d of government education being the introducer of despotism promulgated a gross fal lacy. It was nothing but the struggling upwards of the God-like influence within men that had so recently obtained from Prussia the commencement of a system which might eventually establish the liberties of its people. Then there was another fallacy abroad on the subject—government did not propose to give them a new catechism or impose a new system of teaching, nor would the schools be of a more reli gimes character than at present. Every school now I existing was essentially a religious school, became religion was taught therein; and, therefore, if the government gave one penny to three schools, they must pay for teaching religion according to the opposers of the plan; but he con tended that they paid for the schools and not for the reli gion. Then it was manifest that the plan was directed for the secular improvement of the community and not for the religious improvement, for while it provided for the superior quality of the regular instruction, they left the religions in struction as they found it. Mr. Baiaes went on to center d upon the general principles of what he advanced—the pre sent want of education and the applicability of the proposed measure in supplying it; concluding a long and impressive speech, during which he was continu-ally interrupted with applause, by expressing an earnest hope that by the adoption of the proposed plan, there would be a new title added to the many proud ones of the Queen, which should be prouder than any other—that of " the educator of the people," which he was assure" would be the muse of a more bright and glorious destiny for the land. He proposed a resolution to the effect that the meet ing were fully sensible of the insufficiency of voluntary aid for the purpose of education, and cordially approved of the general principle of the government plan, without pledging themselves to its details. Mr. ROBLKTSON seconded the resolution in a few words, and it was about to be put to the meeting, when Mr. !Weems tone to move an amendment That the education of the pandit is not within the province of go termed. _ Re proceeded in a long and distursive speech, often bearing but little up . .an the question, and occasionally quite apart from it, to argue in opposition to the scheme, aware, he said, that three-fourths of the people, and even one half of the non conform:des of the country were against him, but denying that the fact constituted them in, the right. He was re ceived, however, with a continued opposition; which regaired continual exertion on the part of the chairman (anlious, as he said, that so impartial hearing should be given to both aides) to suppress. Mr. Sewell seconded, and Mr. Ockendon followed, on the same side, amidst much conflation and dis order; and Mr. O. F. Young then replied in favour of the resolution, which, together with the amendment, wee then put to the meeting—the former being carried with but few dissentients. _ _ Mr. thitsuis, a schoolmaster, then moved the adoption of a petition to the legislature, founded on the resolution which had been adopted. Mr. THOMPSON seconded the resolution, which, after some opposition from Mr. Morris, was curled by a large majority. Some complimentary votes concluded the proceedings. GENERAL CONFERENCE OF OPPONENTS TO GOVERNMENT EDUCATION. About forty members of the conference met at ten o'clock yesterday morning, at the Hing's Head, Poultry, to armor,e future business. The flee. S. Ganam took the chair. Mr. At . azAYDsa suggested tha t a fund should be raised for three purposes : to °pi:l...e the government measure ; to repay, for such schools as were willing, money received from *ovens ment • and for the establishment of schools on the voluntary principle. He himself, if other gentlemen would do the like, would subscribe 1001. towards a fund of 10,0001., or 2001. for a fund of 20,0001. It was also proposed that as many delegates as possible should crowd the lobby of the House of Commons between the hours of three and four on Monday next, to speak to their respective representatives as they went to the house ; and it was arranged that gentlemen who had re turned to the country should be written to with the same views. On the question of advertising, they were emphati cally warned not to advertise in the Deity News. Mr. E. Biases, Jun. hoped that if the dissenters were defeated in this measure, they would still think it their duty not to give the matter up. He had thought that the mea sure being carried would be a death-blow, but he now saw that it would not he irrevocable. Ministers should be given to know that the movement would never cease until it met with success. Mr. MASSIE then moved : That the canton iiiii;ll;deT; the Home of Commons by Lord John Russell, in *newer to the question of Sir James Graham, relative to the minutes of the council on education OM Thunalay evening, the 15th, gives increased countenance to the belief that the government is acting a disingenuous part, with a view to propitiating the Roman Whelks °none side, and the Wesleyan* and a section of the Ma- Untied Church on the other, and that this afford, another illustra tion of the evils and dangers of intrurtlng the great intercom of edu cation and religion to a committee of council, which may wry its policy and principles from day to day to suit a temporary expediency. It was agreed that this resolution should be advertised in six newspapers, some of them being the evening papers of that day. Mr. l3At'eno proposed, and Mr. iltattng, after much dis cussion and repeated correction, moved : That this conference, In its deep mum of the ern* which thighs this country if the government warms he euelied, and with the toll knowledge they pow:matte elnweettkedremiiamis,Mtlimaslies warranted and ematr simian ilMlemt Mgr 'echelon Met he wed tion to the interfeement peorommlcklipepoloreinoldiaWWWWN cease until the appehemmt WM* eimia eof "era on aloostlen shall have hem reellie4 and hoir hem mid espeitelloo thi sew =item will be cycloid thecephost anatry ee doe in every oameMmehmal enothei I C Y e eatattain ef this The resolation a ti OM 'Md.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF CAPTAIN G. B. Dowses, R.E.—A melancholy oecurrenee took place en board the General Steam Navigation Company's steer-ship Rarer, plying on the Yarmouth station, during the last trip made by that vessel. The Ramona left Yarmouth at five p.m. en Wednesday evening, ander the charge of Capt. Dawson. Among the passengers was Capt. Downes, of the Royal Engineers. The night turned out rough and mnallT, a heavy sea rolling during the early part of the passage. fhs steward of the vessel states that about kalf-part one o'clock on Thursday morning he observed the gallant captain walk ing up and down the deck smoking a cigar. Shortly after. wards he requested the steward to make up his bed for the night on the sofa. This was the last that was seen or heard of the unfortunate gentleman. Some two hours subse quently one of the sailors discovered a hat lying in the starboard fore sponson, and on conveying it Into the cabin it was aseertained to have belonged to Capt. Downes. A close teazel was immediately made for the gallant officer, but it was found that he was not on board the vemel. The first impression was, that he must have thrown himself overboard shortly after having been seen by the steward ; and this presumption was afterwards strengt hened by the fact of his manner having been remarked to be parti cularly reserved during the voyage by several of his fellow- Mt%His. carpet bag was opened by the captain to identity, and in it were discovered three letters which gave the desired information. The only other things contained in the bag were a night shirt and a brush and • comb. On the arrival of the Ramona of the Custom house, on Thursday morning, information of the melancholy occurrence was given at the office of the company, by Capt. Daemon, and we understand from inquiries which have been made, little doubt appears to exist that the gallant captain must have thrown himself overboard while labouring under mental alienation. The weather, it should be stated, had moderated before the gallant caption was mimed, and there was scarcely any swell on. The spot is supposed to have been near the Mouse light, twenty miles below Gravesend. INQUEST, YESTLIIDAT.--THE LATE Loss Or LIFE We FIRE MARTLEBON E.—Before Mr. Watley, M.P., at the St. Marylebene workhouse, on the bogy of Anna Wil son, aged 74, who was burnt to death in her bed on the morning of Wednesday lad. Henry Wilson, • boy 9 years of age, who resided with deceased, his grandmother, at No. 10, Maryleboneeourt, said, on the sight of Tuesday last, when they were going to bed, the deceased (as was her custom) placed her lighted candle on a chair near the bed side. About twenty minutes after twelve on the Wednesday morning be was awoke by a sense of salfsealiem, and ma tiag upend finding the room full of make, sae thetas ht fire, he ran to the door and called for the sultana of the lndgers, but bef , re they arrived the bed sod bedding was in flames, end his grandmother still lying upon it. The candle stick was found under the bed, and it had no doubt fallen from the chair, and having ignited some articles under the bed, caused the conflagration. Deceased wan conveyed to the infirmary of Maryiebone workhouse, where she expired frem the injuries received about three o'clock the same morning. Verdict—" Accidental death." BURNING OF TIIEDROGIIEDA STEAMER AT SEA. We yesterday published a short account of this afflicting disaster, which occasioned an awful loss of life. We have since derived, from various sources, further parti culars. Our Dublin correspondent writes The Grange Uaile steamer, for Drogheda, left Liverpool on Tuesday night, at eight o'clock, in command of Captain Rawdon, and betides her passengers, was laden with flax and corn. The fire was discovered when the vessel was off Holyhead; it originated in the coal depositrries and by spontaneous combustion. The captain ti•ems to have though that he would be able to extinguish the flames and make his port, and, therefore, continued his course. Unhappily be did not succeed, and the whole of the passengers and crew would have certainly perished had not a Ringsend ( Dublin) hooker fortunately discovered them, and saved sixty nine souls—twenty tour ef thecrew, aud forty-five pasacogers. The crew ef the hooker acted with the greatest humanity— saving everybody who appeared on deck—the captain ex cepted. He remained on bard until the last moment, and then flung himself with a life-buoy into the sea. lie was picked up by the hooker's boat soon after, but life was extinct. An inquest was held to-day upon the captain's body, when probably some further circumstances as to this deplorable transaction will be brought to light. The steamer has en tirely disappeared, and none of the parties on board saved anything save their clothes and the money on their petsons. It is supposed that at least 30 persons have perished. The Freeman's Journal states that most of the passengers —of whom the number has been variously stated as being from 100 to 250—had gone to Liverpool with the view of emigrating to America; but, being unable to find vessel., were returning. These parties, being provided with free ticket., there names did nbt appear on the ship's books. Many of the passengers were cattle dealers, and from a conversation with one of them, it appears that about six a.m., and after the steamer had passed Holyhead, all on board were aroused by the cry of "fire, fire." An awful rush took place towards the deck, and the confusion became so great, and the people so alarmed, that none of them we met appear to have any knowledge of the state of facts, or the condition of the ship. The only thing they remembered was that the vessel was on fire ; the bunkers or coal-holds baying ignited in the first instance. Every exer tion was made to subdue the destructive element, but the vessel wan so crowded, arid the consternation so terrific, that the efforts made to save her were retarded, and proved unsuccessful. The scene, as might be expected, is said to have been one of the must harrowing nature. For a long time the captain was most sanguine in his hopes of subduing the fire. In this state the fire raging below, but not ap pearing above, the vessel kept on her course till about seven o'clock, when she was observed by the Bossy fishing smack of ltingsend, when those of the passengers and crew who were on deck were rescued from their awful condition. On nearing her they found the people on board screaming, and many of them clinging to her sides. At the time the Remy came up, the flame had not burst out, bat was still confined to the interior. Sixty-nine persons were taken on board ly the aid of Imam—the smack standing off, lest tho fire might be communicated. In addition to the above the following general information was obtained : When the first alarm of fire was given, one of the steamer's beats was lowered, but the rush of people into her was so great that she swamped and almost all perished. The crew of the steamer, with the exception of the captain, were all saved ; and the skipper of the Bevy states that the mate told him the unfortunate gentleman could have saved himself, but that he refused to abandon his vessel while there was the most remote chance of saving her, and that he vowed ho would not stir until passengers and crew were all safe, a determination which cost him his life, for it appears in the last extremity he took the life-buoy and jumped overboard. A poor woman, one of three saved, could tell no more of the occurrence than that abe was awoke out of bed, and in the general consternation which prevailed she leaped overboard, and was picked up in a boat by a lad named Upham. When she recovered she found, to her inexpressible joy, her husband safe on board the Beasy. The passengers saved, with the exception of the persona sent to hospital and a few others who sought and obtained refuge about the quays, took their departure yesterday evening by the train for Drogheda, aa did also the mate of the ill.starred steamer and all the crew. The body of the unfortunate Capt. Bowden lies at present on hoard the Belay, and the coroner's inquest will, it is expected, throw some light on this very melancholy aff,ar. WRECK OP THE ROCHE6TER.—WEXFORD, APRIL 14.—The Rochester, Truman, packet.ship, from Liverpool to New York, struck on the north end of Blackwattr Bank yesterday morning, and it is feared will be • total wreck. The greater part of the passengers have been brought here by the Arklow, and the remainder were being saved by other boats. It is reported there was 150,0001. of specie on hosed. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, Aran. 15. The free church synod of Glasgow asd Ayr has, on the motion of 1)r. Buchanan, resolved, by a majority of 60 to 16, to petition against the education scheme. This synod is the largest provincial court of the body, and as Dr. Candlish sat in it as a corresponding mem ber, and voted in the majority, there can be little doubt that this decision will exercise a considerable influence over, or at all events may . be predicted as indicating pretty correctly, the opinions of the ensu ing general assembly of the free church. The free presbytery of Arbroath have without a vote come to a similar resolution. A class of minis ters of the free church, amongst which is Mr. Guthrie of Edinburgh, Mr. Lewis, of Dundee ' &c., will still in all likelihood continue in favour of the scheme ; but there is every appearance now of their being in the minority . . Notwithstanding this unlooked-for termi nation, It is all but certain that if the education grant is agreed to in the House of Commons, the free church, like the Ulster synod, will ultimately avail themselves of its support. The low rate of interest allowed in the national security savings banks, is causing the depositors in the Edinburgh institution to withdraw their money wholesale. The city of Glasgow bank has established a branch agency for receiving deposits of five shillings and upwards, at a trifle above the current rate of " umber.' Tan Niw CHEAP DAILY Parza.—The advent of the North British Mail, which took place on Wednesday last, demands especial record se an important fact in the history of the Scottish newspaper press. It is the first attempt to establish a regular daily paper upon a plan net widely different to that of the London journals, its acknowledged prototype being the Daily Newt. The North British Mail inseam to have a regular staff of reporters, besides correspon- dent' in London and at the packet ports. It professes to re ceive mush of its intelligence from this capital "by ex pert" irb piss, in short, resources similar to those of a preptely sproisted London paper. The price is, of course, tifferpeme. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. Tee Season or EDUCATION.—An adjourned meeting to the Town Council of Manchester was held yesterday, to con. eider the government scheme of education. The Mayor pre sided, and there was a fair attendance, though several influential members of the body known to be opposed to the scheme were absent, including Mr. Ald. Kershaw and Mr. Ald. Bard. Mr. Councillor Metcalf brought on the subject in a dispassionate speech, in which he referred to the statistics of Manchester and other large towns, to show that there was a great want of education, and the hopelessness that volun taryism could ever effect the object sought. He then moved that petitions be presented to both Houses of Parliament in favour of the measure.—Mr. Ald. Kay seconded the motion, and it wee ported by Mr. Goadeby.—Mr. W. Shutdo wn* an amendment to the effect that the ques tion mot eonle within the scope of the duties of the esentedL-11r. Oyte seconded the amendment.—Mr. Ald.
