The one is a compact, organised, single-minded body; the other is scattered, loosely put together, swayed to and fro by every change in the political atmosphere, and can offer no resistance that is sufficient to oppose the steady, unremittent attacks of its enemy. The two, therefore, must not be placed in collision. The vsry indifference manifested towards the national religion by the great hulk of the French people is the cause why so much danger is to be apprehended from the efforts of the church. Because a religion is dead, says M. Quinet, there is the danger. A living reli gion, like that of the puritans, may certainly mould the government into a despotic form, but it commu nicates to it, at least, a portion of its own power and energy, whilst a dead religion infallibly occasions death to the state and to the people with which it is politically and or g anically united. Bind a dead car lease to a living body, and watch the result. Sine! argument on this subject (continues the author) appears useless, I shall content myself with relating the following narrative. The events took place a thousand years before the modern era. A large number of captives, some taken in battle, other stolen from the coasts, were huddled together on a Greek galley from Tenedos. The master of the vessel was direct mg its course towards an Italian port, where he intended to sell his cargo. In the middle of the night, the captives broke their chains and got possession of the galley. Cheat was the rejoicing the sea had never heard such cries delight. " One thing troubles me," said one of the prisoners to his companions, "it is that you have left the rudder in the pos session of those who were taking you to the slave market." And he pointed towards an old man who apparently totally careless of what was passing around him, managed the rudder, and ever kept his eyes tiled upon a certain star. " What"' answered the captives " don't you sec that this old fellow is gluing up at the clouds, and does not care a rush for what is going on around him, You are afraid of that __„ worm-eaten handle in his trembling hands, but consider his mte ; it is madness to think that he tan guide this vessel. Yon are in want of a little hellebore, my good friend." So they turned their bock upon their friendly adviser, and sailed joyously [oWe:di the Fortunate Islands. The old man, still smiling, kept his bold on the rudder; and managed so well, that after creeping for some time etrec to the shore, he gave but a single turn, and 10, they were in port! They had arrived at Tarentum, a famous slave-market. In a moment the merchants who had been awaiting the cargo, boarded the vessel with arms in their hands, Sung Ithemselves upon the captives, loaded them with chains, and sold them for twenty denarii a-piece. Psis o that time forth none of the unfortunates ever heard IA of a vessel without making, who held the rudder? The reader will be able to see from the above, ' what is the opinion of the author on the subject in question. He believes that the catholic church has fixed and immutable tendencies that cannot be cor rected or changed—that if changed it ceases to exist. In the same manner as the whole body of natural philosophers in Europe would experience a disgrace lid failure were they to endeavour to prevent the magnetic needle from turning towards the north—se would all the priests in the world try in vain to hinder the spirit of the catholic church from turning towards absolutism. M. Quinet might have illustrated this position not only by the examples which he has taken from the practice of the church in catholic countries, but by the bigoted conduct of that portion. of the English church which delights in the assumption of the word catholic, as a budge to distinguish it from the other portion, which is content with the name protestant. "'he author, however, is at no loss for illustration. He is evidently full of his subject, and assists the facts and the arguments of the philosopher with the earnestness and the bitterness of the enemy. lie dues not forget the merciless persecution of which he has been the object, although it is but fair to state that he never descends to invective, or even draws a damnatory conclusion from insufficient facts. The style, like that of all his writings, is declamatory, but it is not inflated ; it is elevated but sustained. The question of the education of the people is involved in the larger one of the connexion between the church and the state. In countries where there is an uncontested state religion ' the question of education is at once resolved. The clergy, masters of the conscience of the people and of their rulers, must know better than any other persons what each sub , ject of the state should know or be ignorant of, that he may fitly enter into their views, which are, in fact, the secrets of =rO'went. As long as the state is regulated upon the f the priesthood, this priesthood is the sole possessor , 1 dike knowledge of things, human and divine. It alone beg the right of teaching. Such are the times of the tribe I ef Levi in antiquity, and of the Society of the Jesuits, legit ! Mei the principles of the council of Trent. Dotwhen, by the operation of mighty revolutions ' the religion which was once that of the whole state has been reduced to the sad condition of being obliged not only to tolerate hostile religions, but even to meet them as equals, then a question arises as to the consequent change in the principle of authority and public instruction. Now the first anomaly which would strike us is this. Supposing that the said religions preserve any portion of the power which regulates tuition, it follows that the doe ' trine of one radically destroying the doctrine of the other, the national tuition would amount to zero. Catholicism destroying protestantism, and protestant= with the same legal authority destroying catholicism, it is quite clear that as far as authority or legal sanction is concerned the result will be nought. Nay, it may be brought lower than nought, that is to say, the result may be (alge braically spooling) negative, if after this official re ciprocal. negation of protestant= and catholicism, it should happen that Judaism, with a legal sanction not in ferior in validity to that which is accorded to either of the two, should appear not only to destroy both, but also Chris tianity itself, which is the ultimate foundation of each. For this very reason, in all states where religious liberty is any thing more than a mere name, the clergy lose all right to direct the public education. Mr. Denison, and the fanatical majority . in the National Society, will shout anathema against this conclusion, but they may be assured that the worse of events, both abroad and at home, is forte d men whose minds arc not blinded by predet ermi ned solutions to the same. Every attempt to conciliate religious prejudice has failed, just in proportion as the prejudice is most honest. You cannot, as M. Quad well observes, make the Pope, Luther, sad the Chief Rabbi, sit down at the same table. The difficulty will only be increased if you endeavour to bring in the President of the Wesleyan Con ference, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Posey, the representatives of the independents, the baptists, the quakers, the Unntingelonians, and of a hundred other sects. Nothing demonstrate, so clearly the absurdity of the claim to educate the nation put for ward by the particular sects as this, that the recog nition of the claims of all destroys the authority of each. This, however, is not all. When a religion, or rather a church which has in time past exercised sovereignty over a people, ceases to be the relight of the state, what are we to understand by this phenomenon ? Is it the effect of chance? Certainly not. We are to understand that this religion at church is no longer the soul of the state—that rhea was before substance is now mere accident--4ine the church has no longer a complete mar prehension of the conelitution of the body politic. If the whole march of creeds testifies that civil life derives itself In cos direction, and ereissiestical life in anotlser, we snot seabeds, sorely,. that the know ledge of kings &eine end know, whia was in times past one mad indivisible, is now @operated. What can the clergy do in the ties of events of which they have no knowledge, soar which :they have no Gon na ? They are travelling in one direction and the world in another. They may stead on the shore and reprosch Society with demotion; they may look over the troubled ocean with ignorant terror, and smash rarity, and see the bolt over which they have sow no control, tossing en the waves, on its earn to a new world, full d incelearble s r= unknown wondos, hot they have With@ the Tomos, dry have no leetensions to the mimes which ragged. the end - or the art wile lowimbes the meas. T hese considerations, which have been pet do' ward with wonderful force by M. ani vikk Y has illestrated with extreorMory sip rem to us decisive. Believing, to we do esreioggiy, that Christianity is not osil, sot gir re " bat that it esir c flee lopment of man', and Meal wecannot, we cannot, however, so ler ever epee to thetimecoy alibi pest end the ewslitslisa st the ,ent as net to see that d2theiflese PO mo ths meridiem growth at None so ;3•=mossup ealltiosio th e itipaid id all the sciences, moral and physical, has taken place, if not outside of Christianity, at least outside of the church. Whence proceeds the greater strictness of ethical science? From its separation from dogmatic theology. Whence our greater knowledge of the principles of law? From the disuse of canon law. - Whence the freer development of political life? From the virtual separation between church and state. All these great elements of our social constitution owe their extraordinary growth to the fact of their being emancipated from the church. It is impossible to , deny t ha t there arc a thousand important ramifi cations in civil society with which the church has now nothing to do, which have grown up without , its aid, and will continue their course onward to perfection without its assistance. It follows as a - consequence that the education which society claims • for its younger members cannot be entrusted to the ecclesiastical body. This consideration acquires ad ditional force from the lad that amidst all differences of sect, there is one common ground on which all I meet—that of the nation. If English society Sou riches, in spite of all diversity of belief, the primary education given to English youth ought to be such as to keep back this sectarian element, which is sure to make its appearance early enough. The primary school should be a place where the younger generation may learn that in spite of startling dif ferenees of dogma, all members of society are of one u great family. 54 We must refer our readers to M. Quint's book for ja an admirable exposition of these principles, and of io others equally important. We take our leave of ri him with the following extract from his letter to the Is t Archbishop of Paris, which we commend to the espe wl - cial attention of those who are interested in the most ;;, important question of the day—the education of the ir people: s 16 0 TThosewho cause divisions are those who would have each , sects each church, a separate world, for ever shut up in it- ts self without any contact of education, even with what ap- 21. I proximates the most closely to it ; who :de,ire that future 20 ., I generations should meet nowhere within the rompu , s of a Ir common creed ; who wish that men front the cradle to the iO t tomb, should walk aide by side without union or recogni tion: who, finally, seek to make of France many Frances, M. each one in hostility with all the rest, each one accustomed 13 to launch eternal anathemas against the other. Those who unite and edify are those who, paying all due tact respect to particular churches, think that they are all eon- sa tamed in a still greater church—Clitistianity itself. For so this reason, far from systematically sequestrating each be- IC lief, far from sharpening and tipping with venom the points 14 - of difference, they hold it to be their duty to bring toge- I thee, even though for a abort alum of time only, the intelli y a - • genets that are destined gm ana oat and the same society. as.

The case of Mr. John Mainwaring, " of Eagle Hall, Cheshire, occupied the sitting. and he was sought to be placed on the list as having been one of the cs members of the provisional committee, who agreed to take at 100 shares. Mr. Cannon the secretary of the company, IL' was examined at consider able length by Mr. Williams ' who appeared as counsel for Mr. Msinwaring, but no direct evidence was adduced of any consent to act on the provi cis - sional committee by Mr. Mamwaring, though he agreed by letter to take shares, and the case was adjourned fur further 30 1 proof. The witness, in the course of his examination, admitted that he was one of the original promoters, but he NJ could not charge his memory with the fact as to whether 400 shares each were reserved for the 21 members of the II intnaging committee. Had no shares allotted himself, nor did he apply for any, though his signature appeared in the subscription contract deed ter 1,2301. ; but he did not know •• to what character or under what circumstances he signed it.

We believe'there is no doubt the charter has been obtained. It is much to be regretted that the late attempt to form a chamber of commerce in London has not yet borne fruit, for though the plan incladed many ob jectionable features, the necessity of such an este blishment is daily exemplified. At Leeds such an endeavour has been more effectual, and all the authorities of the town have united in its promotion. As very strong opinions have been expressed in favour of a chamber of commerce, we think its promoters should take some active steps for bringing it before the public. The public meeting at the Hall of Commerce, over which the Lord Mayor presided, has been attended with the happiest results in furtherance of the tribunals of commerce throughout the country, and while the chief magistrate is no doubt desirous to distinguish his mayoralty by the promotion of two institutions so important, it will be a pity to let the opportunity pass of publicly advocating the esta blishment of a Chamber of Commerce for ourselves. The names of Messrs. Rothschild and Masterman were appended to the circular, and the least they can do is to appear before their constituents and sup port the cause they have espoused. Daily some occasion arises fur the intervention of a chamber, and only this week a new regulation has been issued as to the Lombard.strect Post-office, without any reference to the convenience of the mercantile esta blishments of the city. At Amsterdam on Tuesday, the Bourse was firm, and prices were generally better. The last prices quoted are: Dutch Two-andm-Half per Cents., 571 to 9-16 ; ditto, Four per Cents., 881.

Besides the prospect of a continuation of the Bel gian lines to Trieste, through Munich and Salzburg, there is likewise some likelihood of a junction with the Netherlands lines. It is understood that the eminent engineer, J. W. Conrad, has been appointed by the Netherlands government to prepare a plan of a junction line. The merchants of Holland and Belgium will then have a complete communica tion by railway and telegraph with France, Ger man • , - Poland, and before long with Russia and Lom . y, while in this country even the telegraph system is deficient The increased traffic likely to be brought on the Belgian state lines will likewise benefit the West Flanders and other branch lines held by English capitalists. The traffic returns for the last week on the under mentioned English lines of railway, as made up to yesterday, are as follows: 1851. 1868. London and North Western....

The trade, however, was greatly depressed by the large arvivals of French Flour at this port and at Liverpool. In foreign Wheat hut ttw transactions took place, and ita value must be notul nomi nally the same as on Monday. Choice qualities of Flour supported late rates, but secondary and inferior ousts were easier to purchase. Barley in limited supply, and ,quite as dear as at the commencement of the week. fhe arrivals of Oats continue moderate, and the turn in price was in fa vour of the seller. In other articles there was no alteration. ARRIVALS LNTO LONDON FROM 21st APRIL to 23th APRIL. On. Ensli.h. Scotch. Irish. loretin. Wheat j 3030 / 8110 Barley MO Oats 2Ol 2too I 4590 Flour.

MARKET.-THIS DAY. ThenUmbeiofleastaie not very large:but more than adequate to tho demand. The small amount of business that is transacted may be quoted at the same as on Monday last. The supply of Sheep fresh up from our grazing districts is small ; we have several left over from Monday, and a fair supply of foreign. Trade is still very bad, sad prices remain about the same although there is rather more activity. Lambs are not so plentiful, and choice ones a little dearer. Trade is dull for Calves, and prices with difficulty maintained. From Germany and Holland there arc 52 Beasts, 240 Sheep, and 198 Calves; Spain, 90 Sheep; Scotland, 100 Beasts ; 300 from Norfolk and Suffolk, and 8.5 mach Cows from the Homo counties. vor mom orates •d.a d.
