GLASGOW, Dee.G.-During the last three weeks a great quantity of rain has fallen hereabout', and dry weather is much needed to enable formers to proceed with Wheat wow ing, which is greatly in 'neer. Last night we bad a smart touch of hest; but it has 'gain turned to wet. The imports at Grangemouth from abroad since the 29th ult., have con sisted of 1,000 qrs. Wheat, 100 qrs. Beans, and 30 qn. Peas. Cossiwire they have been equally limited; but to the 3,560 barrels Flour, and 2,500 qrs. Wheat have arrive= Canada, and 2,650 brls. Flour, together with 1,630 qrs. In dian Corn, from the United States. From Ireland, about 1,680 qrs. Oats, 1,200 loads Oatmeal, and a cargo er two of Barley, have come to hand.'t.With the exception of a little inquiry far bonded Wheat, the trade has remained in a very inactive state, and both Oats and grinding Barley have been offering at lower prices. At this day's market the trade ruled without animation; but sales of Wheat were not peened at lower prices, and there was rather more inquiry than of lats. Flour wie offering at Gd. per barrel under la= week's quotations. Oats fully Gd. rer boll cheaper ; but at the reduction buyers appeared inclined to purchase. Oat meal, 6d. to Is. lower.

DANTZIO, Dee. 2.-Our navigation continues open uncom monly late this year, fortunately for the arrival of supplies from Po/and, which, favoured at last by an increased depth of water in the Vistula, have reached us during the put month to the extent of about 7,000 lasts of Wheat. About 2,500 lasts of the same have been sold in the market, and the remainder stored on importers' account. Prices have detained considerably , particularly this week, during which they hays ruled as foows Fine high mixed, 6The. Nabs, 435. to 445. ; fair, 6111 e. to 621b5., 41s. to 425. ; poi sail fine mixed, Gllbe., 395. to 40s. ; inferior and lighter tions, 365. to 375. These prices leaving no littlel dn ert parties in the interior, they have ordered sale. not tete maimed on the same terms, but prefer waiting for a better demand , _• factors are therefore firmer, and parties seeking to buy wou ld have to pay more money. A great part of the late pureheses of Wheat will remain here in the hands of speenlaters ; the remainder is in coarse of shipment. About 1,000 lasts may be still on the way hither by water, among which man hundreds of old Upper Polish 'Wheat, after a long protracted passage of eight months. Prices in Poland and in the interior arc still higher than with as, and growers little inclined to sell ; after a time, however, they will be obliged to look out for purchasers, and these will, we hope, be very cautious, considering the uncertainty of the value of Wheat under the action of free trade in Eng land.

Ir will be perceived from an aivertisement which appears in our columns this day, that the govern ment has determined to proceed with the Irish col !ogee, and that, in despite of Jolts of TUAM and of the fors., some thousands a year are to be spent on pro fessors destined to instruct the Irish in Greek, Latio, history, and English literature, logic, jurisprudence, English law, agriculture, Irish language, and se forth. We give the government all credit fur its constancy . in this affair, although in questions which involve the power to bestow places to the amount of three or four thousand a year, such constancy me; be very well expected. Be this as it may, the fountains of knowledge are to be mu vided, and all that remains to be asked is, will the Young Irish drink of them, or will their priests per mit them to quaff of a spring of which they are not the dispensers ? The answer rests with the Roman catholic laity of Ireland. And that answer has far mere importance than the fate of these colleges. For if once it could be shown, as we think it can and will be shown, that the Homan catholic body in Ireland is not a mere flock of ignorant millions herding behind a few fanatic prelates and clergy, but a large lay.popu lotion, with the name interest', aspirations, intelli gence, principles of freedom and fraternity, which mark the lay brethren of any other sect, an immense por tion of the bigoted hatred and exclusive prejudices of Englishman would vanish with the conviction. There is no dogma more universally and i em phatically preached and insisted on at present than that religous teaching, and no other teaching, can secure the lower and triddie classes from the conta gion of revolution. l'hiloisophy, or lay teaching, or thinking for one's-self so gene'ated, is universally stigmatised as dangerous not merely to salvation, bat ,to the conservation of social order. And when churchmen or sacerdotal dissenters boldly declare that instruction of any kind is poison unless neu tralised by a certain tefusion of religions teaching, the middle classes, stricken by the panic of continen , el revolution, are much inclined to accept the rule, not so much out of regard to the religious welfare of the population, as to the political welfare of the state. Now, we think this a great mistake. Religious belief is of paramount importance, not only as a linking on of this world with the next, and as a very general arid powerful motive of good conduct through life ; but experience abundantly . shows how moral, and rational, and prudential principles serve as aids and as supplements to religions principles. Read Dr. AesonVe memoirs, and examine what was his system of education. 'The principles he wished to instil were two—those of religion, and those of homer. He wished the boys to be Christinis, but he also insisted on their being gentlemen. We instance Dr. Au Lies philosophy of education, not so much be cause it was that of an eminent teacher of youth, but because it is universally the English principle of education in and out of families. Those parts of conduct which religious motives will not reach, we apply honourable motives to. For our own pest we should prefer moral and rational motives to new* honourable ones, the latter being rouserhat attributes of caste. But that is unimportant. What we would assert is, that however in dispensable religious principles may be, some other principles are always employed in the education of every Englishman, and, therefore, may be considered necessary. Now, where they are perhaps meet ne cessary, is in the philosophy, and in the rules, of poli tical thinking and conduct. The world hu been much shocked by the murder of Count Rossi by , the Romans; and even still more shocked, perhaps, by the whole Roman population sympathising with and heroising the assassin. We agree with our tory contemporaries that such a symptom of utter demoralisation has not been for ages displayed by any people. But what is the people thus shown to have principles of public conduct the most demoralised in Europe? Precisely that people which has been most exclu sively reared under sacerdotal government. The Romans, we hope, have had religious teachers enough. Aud what has religious teaching made of them P The worshippers not merely of revolution but of assassi nation. Wherever a priest-ridden people in these times have thrown off the yoke, they have indulged forthwith in the enjoyment of assassination. Paris and Berlin have both had revolutions also. Both cities are remarka ble for emancipation from an exclusively religious education. In both the dagger of the assawin has been unknown. There has been fierce, manly fighting in both—anarchy if yen will, and great licen tiousness of philosophic theory—but base and san guinary crimes have not been committed. \Vu shouldsay then, that for political education, other elements are necessary , than an exclusively religious teaching or direction. We believe, we might here add, thatalmost all the Irish rebels, now exratingtheirsen tenon, were bred in religious seminaries. No country, therefore, more than Iceland demands lay seminaries, lay instruction. And when we say so, we by no means wish to separate and contrast laymen and ecclesiastics. The Irish Roman catholic priesthood numbers a large proportion of liberal men and even prelates who, like GANGANELLI, would be prompt to aid the cause of secular education. Pits IX. himself, notwithstanding his rescript, which is nothing . but an unavoidable answer to a captions question, is no enemy to lay education. And, we believe, eleven of the Irish catholic prelates are favourable to the principle of these colleges. We have good hope . s; therefore, that the scheme of education, persisted in by the government, will be efficiently supported by the more liberal of the Irish prelates and the more influential of the Roman catholic laity ; and that the youth of that country may be en abled to imbibe models of admiration and principles of conduct in schools less bigoted, sacerdotal, and pro vincial, than those which have hitherto tainted Irish philosophy and politics with absurd puerility and mo nastic exclusiveness. A SESSIONAL paper, entitled "Public Appoint ments," was delivered yesterday. It purports to be a return "of all new places created, and appointments made, since the 19th day of March, 1845, whether by act of parliament or ey any other authority, and of the names of the persons appointed to them." Cori- ously enough, notwithstanding this, not one of the 1,414 appointees is named. They are all anonymous. This is not the only omission. The 1,414 are stated in a note to be "exclusive of clerks and others temporarily employed." The word " others ' includes, we presume, all the gentlemen ap pointed to temporary commissionerships. that Ingenious device for making interim provision for serviceable partisans till something perms neat opens, which has been so liberally resorted to of late years. The cost of temporary clerks " and others," is said to be included in a sum of 21,7471., which is designated " incidental expenses." Again, it is observed in a note explanatory , appended to the I sum total of " expenses of the establishments in con nexion with such new appointments," that " in many instances the total expense of the establishments in connexion with which new appointments are made, is returned as applying to the expense of the new ap- ' pointments only, instead of the entire establishment." But the fact is passed over in silence that out of the 46 government offices which have made returns of new appointments, 31 have omitted to make any re turn of the additional expense for establishments in curred in consequence of the new appointments. There are other sources of vagueness in this return. " All new places created and appointments made" may possibly include new appointments to old places; and there are certainoolonial appointmcntsenumerated, respecting which it is not explicitly stated, whether their salaries, are to bo defrayed by the imperial treasury or the eolenial treasuries. From the cir cumstance, however, that in the Colonial-office return care has been taken to note that when three assistant secretaries of state with a pt kis writer and registrar, were appointed, two assis tant under-secretaryships were discontinued, we pre sume that all the new appointments enumerated are to newly-created places. And from the cir cumstance that we are reminded twice over that the salaries of the Bishops of Newcastle and Melbourne and of the special commissioner for the New Zealand Company are paid from colonial and other funds, we presume that all salaries, allowances, and expenses to which no such notandam has been attached arc paid out of the imperial exchequer. In deed, we find some of these colonial items figuring in the miscellaneous estimates for 1848-9. The truth is that this return is less the fruit of any desire to obtain or afford information, than a piece of party bush-fighting. Lord LINCOLN moved for a return of the new places and their expense, " and the names of the persons appointed to them, " as mat- 1 ter for a personal thrust at ministers in a tender point. And ministers have contrived to make the return after such a feahion as renders it as little available as possible for his purpose, or for any other. Never theless, the tax-pas ing public may extract some use. fed information from it, as we proceed to indicate. Between the middle of March, 1843, and the middle of April, 1848, there were created 1,414 new places under government, and appointments were made to them. The total of salaries and expenses, on account of such new appointments, was 297,2761. The total expenses of the establishments in connexion with sash new appointments is returned as 630,6361. We have already noticed thatthe total expenses of the whole estab liehments in connexion with the new appointments, are said to have been returned as applying to the new establishments "in many instances." But we have also drawn attention to the fact that out of 46 go vernment offices which have made returns, only 15 have stated what the expense of the additional estab lishments will be. And we may add, that, among others which have failed to make any such statement, are the Admiralty, the Foreign and Colonial Offices, the County Courts, and the Customs. There can be little doubt that the numerous omissions will amply compensate for any excess in the few statements given. Had there not been a considerable chance of this being the case, care would doubtless have been taken to correct the return before issuing it. Now 1,414 new places, meting the country one year with another 927,9124 are a pretty considerable addi tion to the national burdens, and to our host of piece men, to have been made in the coarse of three years, by the remnant of that party which took office with professions of " reform end retrenchment." We rea dily admit, however, that the number of new places, and their cart, are not of themselves sufficient to warrant a judgment as to their propriety or impro priety. Much will depend upon the circumstance whether these appointments have increased the effici ency of old departmental of government, or provided for the discharge of any duty of government previ ously neglected. But it must be kept in mind that even though all the 1,414 new places could be proved I to be expedient or indispensable, and their services afforded at the most moderate cost, it would still be incumbent upon government to shew that they had provided for them by retrenching useless expendi ture in other quarters, or that no such retrenchment was possible. It would extend this article to a most unread able length, and thereby defeat our purpose in penning it, were we to attempt, on the present occasion, to examine into the merits of all the 1,414 new places. Bat there are some of them so glaringly indefensible u to require immediate ex posure. Several of the new places in the customs were obviously required, on account of the increased trade of Liverpool and other places, to afford mer chants due facilities in passing their goods. Some of the Poet-office appointments were doubtless called for I on account of the enormous increase of correspondence consequent upon the adoption of the penny postage. Others of the new places may appear upon examinee tion to have been equally proper; but there are some which admit of no defence. For example, under the head of consular appoint-. meats we find a consul for Abyssinia with 5001. a I Tear, and an allowance of 4001. for house rent and expenses; a vice-consul at Mourzouk with 2001.; and l a consul at Ohadames with 5001. The ingenious inventor of the Abyssinian consulship has been unable to find a "local habitation" for his consul. The truth is, that Abyssinia approa thes the Red Sea only at one point, in the vicinity of Maesowah. Lord VALENTIA, some forty years ago, persuaded an unfortunate London merchant to freight a vessel to that port with • view to the Abyssinian trade. That one vessel created a glut in Massowah from which the market has not recovered to the present day. The other two places we have named are still more egre g_ions jobs. Mourzouk, the readers of DENHAM and CLACPERTON may remember is an inconsiderable town about halt-way between Tripoli and Bornou; and Gha dames; is a dilapidated resort of wild Tuaricks in the de sert a considerable way to the west of Mourzouk. Three or four of the British expeditions engaged in African discovery passed through Mourzouk; Ghadames has been reached by only one European traveller; there is no chance of either being visited by another British subject for at lead a century to come. There three appointments are palpably fruits of that coquetting which is constantly in progress between a certain association of dilettanti promoters of geographical dis covery and our government offices, considerably to the increase of government expenditure, and the impairing of government efficiency. Turning to the Colonial-office we find some jobs equally gross. There has been expended 1,1001. in sending a lieutenant-governor and chairman of quarter sessions to a colony upon paper called North Australis, who have since been recalled because there were no colonists, and because the place proved unfit for settlement. There is being expended an annual sum of 4,3751. upon a civil government staff at La buan, where there is not as yet a single settler ; and to this must be added 7001. for a consul-general and his secretary at Borneo. We are to pay 1,0001. a year to a nondescript officer termed "manager of currency," at Mauritius ; and 3001. for a chaplain to preach to the wild oxen, the only subjects of the governor of the Falkland Islands. We are to be taxed to pay 1,3001. a year to a lieutenant-governor of St. Lucia, though the revenue of that colony is in excess of its expenditure, and though its expenditure might be diminished by a judicious re-distribution of official duties. In the Admiralty, appointments quite as indefen sible might be pointed mat : for example, the sums spent upon the additional inspectors, Who have not prevented the dilapidation exposed to &parliamentary committee la-t season. The Railway Commissioners' Office, with its annualll,6ool. of salaries and 13,5221. of establishment expenses, is admitted to be a nui sance that would be dear if given gratis ; and to this must be added 3,7301., the cost of the Admiralty Har bour and Railway department. These are specimens of the contents of a return which will repay more close examination and more detailed commentary. it; I To any one inexperienced in our English habits of commercial legislation, the proceedings that occurred in the Thamcs Police Court on Tuesday last must have We. az d es t7 d th n ese ot thi a n li g tlle l pe nre r e p n le c xin r g a . ny of trade has acquired a more than avera ge h t -^ tune, we are accustomed to see it invariably etch bered with so much help, and smother, d beneath th great a weight of " protection; as to afford a w ee. bly severe test of the intrinsic stamina width at enable it to bear up against so ma n y we ll i nteraieu; lets and hindrances.

But taxation is not the dbly grievance of wpb the coal-merchant has to complain. There are echo annoyances and restrictions not represented by l b * , payments, but in the end occasioning a lose rot y a real. A specimen of these—one out of many v . eties—came before Mr. YARDLEY on the day o w mentioned. Mr. BRODIE, master of the IS collier brig, was summoned to the police having discharged his cargo of coals in contra • of the terms of the " Coal Whippers Act; he had made himself liable to a 101. penalty, e t default of . payment imprisonment for a term tot ceding six months. The defendant, it app ti k upon reaching the " Pool" had found himself utg to procure a " gang" of registered %hippies, chile: the moment ho required or at the wegen he tire,,,t and bad therefore got a set of irregular and an workmen to perform the job. For so doing he upon the face of the enactment, clearly guilty of he breaking and liable to the statutory penalties. According to the best history of the Whippers Act" which we have been able to p it was originally designed as a protection of waterside labourers against the avarice of the pop;; cans and middlemen. Certain public-houses el* the river banks were used as houses of a: by the whippers, who very speedily be ar , nearly dependent upon the keepers of thou ple a and mulcted by them in a large per cemagesp z their profits. Between debts and drunkenly,' the poor whippers lost to these gentry very nue ) the whole remainder of their earnings. To reined, this crying evil the act was passed which appointed' board of commissioners, established an office anda t e, tered list, where the captains of incoming col a , might apply for whippers, and where also the mo o were engaged, the prices regulated, and a dedutioen one farthing in every shilling of the money am was fixed as the maximum of fees to the office. So far all was perfectly unobjectionable. Bat et ] Was the statute stretched into a prohibitive enactuit against the coal-owners, and the employment cf glistered " whippers," and those only, made compeller upon the captains? Why should it not be left the discretion of the employer to get his co work done in his own manner ? Such interference must often prove, as Air. Bit me seems to have found it, annoying to the Is degree. It appears, indeed, to be one of those pa pi:melees embarrassments to commerce which enema trade at so many points both by land and see, b no where with more troublesome frequency thin the port of London. Nor are coals the only antic subject to this species of restriction. The importer a pipe of wine cannot have it conveyed from thedoe to the vaults beneath his warehouse by any bet t ticketed cellarmen. The system in fact prevails a extensively.
