universities have, by the admission of lay professore, and the lax manner in which the religious tests have been e nded, been in a great measure emancipated from ecclesiastical control The popular education of Scotland continues, and will continue to be a r eligious education, because the Scotch are a religious people. The religions education or training of children in Scotland continues, and will continue to be in the main Calvinisto-piesbyterian, became, that is practically the creed of all but two churches in Scotland, that is, of an immense majority of the peo ple. But this religious character of Scotch educa tion implies no dependence on the established church and requires no such dependence to perpetuate it. From what has been said, it is obvious that Lord IIELGI'NeS bill, in its broad outline and general principle, did little more than give a legal recogni tion to the actual condition of the educational system of Scotland, and provide for its extension and in masa efficacy. To fall back upon the parochial system would be to recur to a state of affairs utterly inapplicable to the existing state of society; to a state of affairs which in fact never existed in the way Mr. 31.tciteNztE and Sir ROBERT INGLIS apprehend it. The parochial system of education as conceived by these gentlemen does not e xist, and cannot be introduced in Scotland. Some such scheme of education as that chalked out by Lord MELGUND is the only possible system foe Scot land ; the choice lies between it and none. Yet Lord MELGUND'S bill has been rejected on the second reading, though countenanced by ministers and supported by a majority of the Scotch represen tatives. And this result is attributable in part to the narrow party spirit of the Scotch thrice., in part to the high church propensities of some English mem bers, and in part to a lamentable ignorance of the actual state of affairs in Smwland, which is not confined to Scotch members. Mr. ADDF.RLEY, who voted with Mr. Fox, could not eibly have opposed Lord MELGUND had he not been deceived as to the state and wishes of Scotland. The clan MATHESON could not have voted in a body against Lord MELOUN D,had not long abeenoe from their native country left them imperfectly acquainted with its actual condition. The division on Lord MEI, GENO'S bill is a triumph of political bigotry making ignorance its catepaw ; and the narrowness of the majority is our warrant that it is the last victory such &contemptible alliance will be permitted to enjoy, at least in so far as Scotch education is concerned. FRANCE. PARIS, TIMWODAY ETZNIWO. To-day were opened the restored galleries of the Louvre. Everybody knows that for years some of these splendid halls have been occupied by masons' ladders and heaps of mortar. At last the result of these labours is presented to the public ; and the magnificent moms emerge richly clothed from the tangled and chrysalis web of scaffolding and rubbish. The President was there, surrounded by ministers, generals, members of the institute, artists, and a crowd of the ornamental sex. He spoke, but his dis course steered clear of all political allusions, and dwelt upon the fine arts, which he felt it was one of the important features of his mission to encourage and foster. The ceremony . took place in the great squarehall, where lovers of the divine art have so often gawd with marvel on the immense Cana Marriap of Paul Veronese, and was prefaced by a speech rem Al. Leon Faucher. After the President had replied, and complimented the artists upon their courage and l perseverance, he proceeded to bestow the commander ship of the Legion of Honour on M. de Nieuwer kedge, the director, and inferior grades upon some other artists. The Salle des Sept Cheminkes followed, with its magnificent frieze the gallery of Apollo, closed for SO years, was res tored to the public eye ; and last, the incomparable vista of pictures stretch ing away to the Tuilenes opened its magical per spective, with a pure and equally diffused light, now streaming in from the roof. A burst of applause from the numerous spectators hailed this noble sight. To-morrow the unprivileged may gaze their full. I must not forget to add that the President closed his speech by some warm acknowledgments to M. Leon Faucher, which have drawn the more notice in the Chamber, as reports had prevailed that the Minister of the Interior was about to be superseded. To-day M. Leon Faucher presented in the Assem bly a bill for continuing to the government, until June 18.52, the faculty of suppressing clubs. Mur murs from the Left made known the democratic objections to the bill. The minister read the state ment of motives, and insisted upon the necessity of not allowing those nests of agitation and anarchy to be reopened, unless they wished to have to contend with an arm ed insurrection. (Murmurs on the Left. He demanded urgency for the bill. The demand was opposed by M. Pierre Leroux, who said that by consenting, the Assembly would only merit anew the reproaches of the President by acceding with alacrity to the measures of repression proposed by his government, while they retarded his ,4 of justice and relief towards the suff'ering times. (Various movements.) M. Chaper said that les was present at the banquet of Dijon, and that M. nem Leroux had misquoted the words of the Pnalistat (Fresh noise.) Urgency was adopted. M. Larabit yesterday presented the following pro- position to the National Assembly: 1. That the Assembly shall express a wish for a revision of Art. 4.5 of the Constitution as far as regards the re. eligibility of the President of the Republic. 2. That suds revision shall not be deferred to a new Constituent Assem bly, but be referred to the s ecereignty of the French people, called to freely vote at the election of the President of the Republic. 3. That to this effect a proclamation of the Assembly shall inform the French people that to it alone in virtue of its sovereignty belongs the right of de clanng by its vote whether it will or will not re-elect the same P e 'dent of the Republic. The committee on the Municipal Bill has revoked its decision to give a share in the appointment of mayors to the executive power, and has committed the nomination of those functions to the municipal councils. This is a triumph for the legitimists. De Panat has been re-elected third questor. In answer to the accusation of the Dijon speech, that the beneficent intention of the President had been thwarted by the Assembly, the Dibats pub lishes a long list of charitable laws passed by the Chamber, one only of which, the law of public baths and wash-houses, was brought forward by the govern ment. M. dc Mornay, an intimate of the Elysk, is de puted on a journey to England. It is said that he will have some interviews with the Orleans family. Lamartine administers, in the Pays, a dignified rebuke to the republicans for applauding the speech of General Changarnier, as if those representatives who had confronted the real dangers of May 13 and June 23 had need of the patroaiaing assurance of a military officer that they might deliberate in peace. One must needs blush fur the publican Assembly that, in its anxiety to be reassured against imaginary coups Atat, could with enthusiasm catch at the sort of order of the day which closed a speech fitter for a camp than a tribune. Humiliating and deplorably puerile are these prostration. before a military uni form, which denote an entire absence of the mascu line virtues and severe dignity of men who honour military talent and courage in the field, but who respect in themselves the character of citizens and representatives. Such is the substance of this de served reprimand. There was nothing new at the Bourse. The Fives closed at 91fr., with a fall of 20c.; the Threes fell 13c., and closed at !Mfr. 30c. GERMANY.

The Danish succession was of COWIE a very prominent subject, and the Sp . Zeitung says that Russian diplomacy was not exerted in vain to bring Prussia into a full ease ment with the views of Russia on this important point ; yet this ravelled question is likely to become still more com plicated by the protest the Duked Augastenburg is about to lay before the Diet against the violation of his claim of succession. The duke appeals to the resolution of the Diet of the 17th Sept 1846. The Austrianpapers are much troubled about the absence of the King of Prussia from the Ohnuts conferences. It appears that apartments bad been prepared for his majesty. It wee given out that on the 2nd of June he would be at Olmuts, and it was not till the departure of the Emperor of Russia that all hops of seeing the king was abandoned. The Austrian journals remark that not a single Prussian notability was present at the interview between the two emperors. The inference drawn from these facts is that there exists by no means a perfectly good understanding between Austria and Prussia ; that the obstructions to an entailer cordiak betwixt them were not removed at Warsaw. Several . papers go as far as to say (which is much beyond the truth) that as the conference at Warsaw was not fol lowed by a congress at Ohnuts, these royal interviews have had no political importance. The Prince of Prussia, accompanied by his son and the two Grand Dukes of Russia, Nicholas and Michael, who are now in Berlin, will, on the sth, go to Warsaw, where they will meet the Emperor of Russia. The Lloyd and the Coast. Blatt of Bohemia say that M. Baumgartner will only hold the portfolio of commerce for a short tune, and that he is to be succeeded by Prince Kiln, who is one of the most determined opponents of free trade and the new tariff. A letter, dated Vienna, May 30, says: - - - - - . There is no news from Olmuta of a definite character, though, from the importance of the subs likely to come under discussion there, the eyes of all Germany are turned in that direction ; and not a step will, or can, be taken at Frankfort till the result is known. General Baytau, in deed, furnishes the only subject of interest. He is one of those unfortunate gentlemen who are always getting them selves into hot water, yet never come clean out of it. It appears that, feeling himself much distressed that no invi tation from the court to Olmutx had reached him, he thought proper to go without one ; and the next day it was whis pered that the hero had received rather a summary order to return. The reason given for this is the soreness of feeling between him and the Russian general, Paskievitch. The public, interested in Austrian affairs, will doubtless recol lect the sharp correspondence that took place between these warriors during the Ilungsrian war. FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1851. by the pastors and congregation of the Swiss church there. But the whole facts remain yet untold, end are worthy of recapitulation. It is already known that in January last, by order of the authorities at Florence, numbers of persons were formally prohi bited, by a document called a preretto, from attending protestant service at the Swiss church. The Italian service in that church, usually performed for the benefit of Italian Swiss, was ordered to be I suspended; and a large number of persons were thus deprived of their usual religious ceremonies. Herr VON ltEcwoter—a Roman catholic himself, by the way—was consulted by the consistory, in his character of protector to the Swiss church, and, in reply, advised the temporary suspension of the ser vice. In doing so, he admitted the right of the Tus can government to act in direct contradiction to the constitution sworn to by the Grand Duke, and which stipulates, amongst other things, complete tolerance for every creed. As ambassador of the King of Paused, a protestant, and as representative of a people the great majority of whom are pro testant, it was his duty to protest against the illegal proceedings of the Tuscan govern ment, and support a church which had been founded under the immediate patronage of the king. Instead of taking part with a government which had stopped a relous service by filling a protestant church with gensdarmes, he should have bees*, first to protect the religion of his king, practised under great difficulties and restrictions in a forage country. In the correspondence between the Prus sian minister and the consistory, the latter stigma tized the presence of Tuscan policemen at the Swiss chapel as an insult to the King of PRUSSIA, and asked permission to have in future the Prussia arms exhibited over the doors of the chapel. They uu rgge d in strong terms the right of a large number of Italian protestant@ to a religious service in their own language, and declared their intention to ap peal to the king directly, if the minister gave no ear tidactory reply. • "The consistory then indulged hopes that their eonespondence with Herr VON REUMONT would be submitted to the KING at Berlin, and they were net mistaken ; but he so mutilated portions of it as to paralyse its effect. He even suppressed portions of the correspondence and admitted that he had done so because he thought it too strongly worded and likely to do the consistory harm. The real motives of Herr VON RECMONT cannot it is supposed have been these given to the consistory, but must have been in view of supporting a partial and unfair account of the gate tion as already placed before the Prussian government and tending to show that the presence of Italians at protestant service was essentially a political and propagandist affair. The hostility of Herr VON Hsu- MOST is, indeed, evident front the report he drew up to present to the KING, and communicated to the consistory on the Bth of May. In this document he described the steps he had taken with the Tuscan ministry, in view of obtaining pension= to perform the Italian service, a boon which he said might be granted if the consistory consented to admit to the service by tickets, exclude every Italian, keep the service private, and let all doors be closed as soon u proceedings commenced. " The liberality shown in conceding an Italian ser vice, whilst all Italians were shut out, is worthy of Tuscan diplomacy. Herr VON REUIIONT said these von the terms which his government had advised him to adopt, and on the acceptance of which the cabinet of Florence might shut its eyes to the per formance of the service. He further added that the Pliedea government only considered the Swiss as a mere legation chapel. " The consistory refused to give their assent to this report, and asked for two days to deliberate. At first this delay was granted, but before its expira tion the Prussian minister sent word that he had been unable to wait, and had sent up his report to Berlin, adding that if his proposals were not ac cepted, he would take no further steps with the Tuscan government. " Thus it is, that in a fair and civilised city, in the year 1851, the celebration of protestant worship has been stopped on the order of a minister representing i o rdered out country. The pastor of a flock has been out of the country, merely because he had esseeebled some of his congregation after service to read and explain portions of scripture to them. His curate has been taken to gaol, torn from his friends, who were allowed no time to bid him good bye, and not even allowed to take any articles of dress, even the most necessary. In this state of body and mind he has been hurried away and marched between gensdarmes for seven days like a felon, placed at night in receptacles where the worst criminals were confined, and forced to mingle with them ; and thus made to cross on foot the whole of Pisa, Lucca, Pictra Santa, Massa (in which state he was ironed), and Samna. 'His crime was that of assisting in reading the scriptures for his colleague, who has been exiled. "All this takes place too in Italy, the land of Roman catholics, who in England cry out so lustily about religious intolerance on the part of the English government." THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. (By Electric Telegraph.] (PROM ova OWN CORIMPONDINS) PORTSMOUTH, FIIIDAY Mosaiso. The Prince of Wales, lndiaman, passed up Channel this morning, and landed her mails at this port. She brings news from the Cape to the Bth of April, but none of importance. Matters were in a state of great uncertainty. The governor of St. Helena had gone in H.M.S. Sampson with troops to the Cape. Sir Harry Smith had issued an order for a further levy of 700 burghers, to be raised at a cost of 2,000/. Her Majesty's steamers Dee and Hermes were still plying, taking troops and levies to the mouth of the Buffalo. Lady Smith was about to follow Sir Harry to Graham's Town. THE HUNGARIANS AT Referring to the telegraphic dispatch in yesterday's Repreu announcing the arrival at Southampton of the Sultan, with Loizar Meuaroo, 49 other Hungarian officers, and 40 Hungarian soldiers, our corres pondent informs us that Massaro, took leave of Kossuth, at Kutaysh, on the 6th of May last. The great Magyar was . . . than in bodily health, but much broken in spirit, owing to his long captivity. He Item again been promised his liberty, in September next, by the Turkish government ; but faith has so repeatedly been broken with him through the machinations of Austria, and Russia, that there is no certainty when he will be suf fered to go at large. Keemtles wife and child were with him, and about 2d Hungarians, who are still prisoners In Kutayah. There are now remaining prisoners in the Turkish dominions, about 40 Hungarians. Memaros is a tall, handsome man, bald-headed, with an immense beard. As soon as be landed from the Sultan, he waited on the Mayor of Southampton, to ask if any assistance could be rendered in this country to his compatriots, some of whom were destitute. He stated to the mayor that they had been treated with the utmost kindness by the captain, officers and crew of the Sultan. It wee affecting to see this man standing before the mayor, with his head uncovered, and with a voice trembling with emotion, beseeching hospitality. He spoke English pretty well. He had learnt it, he said, in his youth, for the purpose of studying English literature, and never thought then he should want it for the purpose for which he was then employing it. The Mayor offered to place him and the principal Hungarian officers at one of the chief hotels at his own expense, and to see that assist ance was rendered to the rest of his companions. Madams, however, remedially declined the former offer, and said he would prefer remaining with the Hungarians. He had sufficient to provide for himself; all he begged was some temporary assistance for those of his companions who were destitute. After his interview with the Mayor he hurried down to the docks to acquaint the Hungarians that he had been saccerful. The Mayor sent immediately • telegraphic message to Lord Dudley Stuart to announce the arrival of the refugees, and instructed the town clerk to write to Sir George Grey to inquire if the government could render any assistance to the Hungarians and facilitate their transit to America, where they were disposed to go. The superintendent of police was instructed also by his worship to allow each refugee assistance, to enable him to get temporary bed and board in the town.

The generality of sights which have been long anticipated, disappoint upon actual inspection, or even if admired and run alter for a week or so, soon fall off in attraction according to the old saying of " a nine days' wonder." Not so with the Great Exhibition. Every fresh visit only increases the gratification, every new day brings its increasing shoals of visitors of all ranks, races, and physiognomies. Yesterday, notwithstanding the stormy weather, the interior was a perfect anthill in populousness, acomplete Babel in the variety of tongues. There need to be no more complaints of congestion about particular localities. Galleries, side eourts, and even the remotest nooks are now filled to overflowing, and the articles of utility are as minutely inspected as the Lahore jewels or the Koh-i-noor. The long arcade in which the French me rinoes are displayed was yesterday thronged with fair visitors, who were incessant in their inquiries of their male companions as to " which colour would become them best," but we are sorry to add that these questions seemed to be generally received in rather an abstracted manner by the parties to whom they were addressed. Even the American wilderness is becoming populous, especially after luncheon time, the visitors apparently wishing to make up for the very slender fare they get at the refreshment tables by look ing into the well-filled casks of beef and pork which form so important a feature in the Transatlantic contributions. By the way, the quantity and quality of the viands dispensed at the different bars are the subjects of frequent complaint, but any observation is met with the reply that Mr. So-and-So has paid 4,000/. for the contract, and must be remunerated. The evil becomes more serious as the company becomes more pervaded with the democratic element, and is only to be met by a general in vasion of previously prepared sandwiches. RECEIPTS TTATERDAT.

We should think, if the events at Boston bad failed to dentoastrate to the absurdity of this allegation, that the mon recent manifestations of popular indignation with which the doctrines of the protectionists an regarded, displayed in the Isle of Wight and at Tara worth, where they made the place too hot to hold them, will undeceive them.— Worceottrshire CAnntiok. DENMARK. According to a leading article in the Augsburg Allgsszeise Zeitus9, Baron Pechlin's return from St. Petersburg, and Count Moltke's return from Paris, both unexpectedly, has caused it to be supposed that the plan of succession lately put forward by the Danish government, and according to which the young Prince of Caucksburg, a child of seven years old, is to be proclaimed heir to the united monarchy, has met with no favourable reception from either the French or Russian cabinets. The return of Baron Pechlin was so little expected, that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. de Reedtz, had but just left Copenhagen, on his way to Warsaw, when he arrived. ITALY. Our Roman corrcspndent's letter of May 31, informs us, that Calandrelli, the colonel of artillery who conducted the defence of Rome against the French, and became triumvir for a few days after the resignation of Mazzini, has been tried and con demned to death. The note of Cardinal Antonelli, published by the Independance Beige, notwithstanding an official dis avowal in the Giornak di Rome, had produced • strong sensation among the French officers. Patrols of French cavalry, guarded by mounted sbirri, were searching the country-houses for arms. C ardinal Vizzardelli had died. PERSECUTION OF PROTESTANTS LN FLORENCE.

This day is the anniversary of the battle of Curtatonc and Montanara, in which two places, during the Italian struggle for independence, the few Tuscans who figured in the cam paigns of Lombardy withstood fur seven hours the fury of the Austrian hordes. Duriug the last two years this day has been allowed to be commemorated by a service for the dead in the church of Santa Croce, which is our Pantheon. Everything passed off quietly in 1849 and MO, and it was a touching sight to behold the widow, the orphan, and the parent, bereft of his brave boy, come forward in deep mourning and strew Bowers over the tomb-stone, on which the name of those who fell an that memorable day is engraved in golden cha ncing. This day, however, has not only not passed of quietly, but the church has been profaned by the bayonet of the Austrian and the report of muskets from our own harden gendarmes. The church was filled with perhaps 12,000 Florentines— men, women, and children—and the solemnity of devotion prevailed at the beginning of the service, when about ten gendarmes, or policemen, stationed in it were seen to with draw. Presently, however, cries of distams echoed , loud through the aisles of the church. What caused it ? Would you believe the cruel and barbarous scheme con cocted to put an end to that sad and touching homage thus rendered to our beloved dead ? Several gendarmes, dressed in plain clothes, approached the tomb-stone above described, where old men and youth ful children, where aged matrons and young maidens, were scattering wreaths of dowers and shedding tear. Without any provocation, and yielding blindly to orders received, these wretches began to strike right and left with their sticks this ineffensire and sorrowful group. The alarm thus raised, Austrians and gendarmes ap peared with their muskets on several points of the church, as if by enshantmeut, the former pushing with their baymets the peaceful and unarmed crowd before them. A sense of confoirm missed which it would be impossible to describe. When ea the squire before the church, the meter pieties Milts thousands assembled were making the beet et their way to their homes, a company of carabineen or gendarmes received orders to lire, which they did, with out the result being yet ascertained. The indignant and horror-struck citizens removed in the greaten disorder from that barbarous spectacle, worthy of • heathen, but certainly not of a Christian and civilised town, such as ours has for ages prided itself on being. Hedged in as we are by the Austrian bayonets, we can only mother in silent despair the deep-rooted hatred and choler which preys upon Our minds and hearts, and weep overeat unfortunate country, appealing to all men of dis cernment and justice to say whether our populations will not be justified in committing examen, when these are the means need to ensure them • lasting peace and the blessings of sober institutions. It b reported that there are two dead and twenty wounded. I write in the greatest coolness of mind, and by enbse quent news you will And that what I have said is strictly comet.

The "catalogue raiment" for the grand day, if it fell short by comparison with Tuesday, was in itself satisfactory as to quantity. We cannot say much, however, for the character of the sport ; the earl iiiiee.pearance of the two " cracks" of their respective years—The Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur—and the scratching of Nutshell on Saturday last, having left the grand prize to the competition oft!, mud class animals, and sadly detracted from its interest, both as a betting race and as a source of attraction to the public, manifest in the little notice taken of it at Tattersall e, and still more obviously, in the inferiority of the attend ance, compared with former Cup days. The list, fortu nately, had a strong feature in the New Stakes, always a sporting race, and on this occasion rendered more than usually interesting by the advent of two of the leading favourites for next year's Derby, viz., Lord J. Scott's brother to Elthiron (also brother to Miscrrima and Wind hound), on whom large sums have recently been invested at and 2.5 to 1, and Col. Peel's colt out of Queen Anne. The Visitors' and other plates tilled well, so that, as we have before stated, there was no lack of amusement. To the "shortcomings" we have referred to must be added the rival and cheaper attraction in Hyde Park, and the doubtful state of the weather in the morning, each serving to prevent so great a crowd as we have been accustomed to meet on Thursday. Notwithstanding these drawbacks the gathering was enormous, and long before the commencement of the races the appearance of the various stands would have suggested anything but a fulling off to those who have not been habitual attend into at these meetings. The first race was get, as on Tuesday, for half-past one; but it was not until a few minutes of that time that the illustrious party from Windsor Castle arrived on the coat se. The proces sion consisted of six carriages and four and four pony phaetons. In the first carriage were her Majesty, the Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha and the two Princesses. In the second, with Prince Albert were the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the Duke of Wurtemberg, and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. The visitors and suite consisted of the Prince of Leiningen, the Dukes of Wellington, Norfolk, and Rut land; the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marquis of Abercorn, the Earl and Countess of Eglinton, Earl and Countess, Jer sey, and Lady Clementine Villiers; the Earl and Couutese of Granville, Earl and Countess Grey, Earl and Countess of Yarborough, Lord Seymour, Lady C. Gower, Lady Alice Lainbton ' the lion. Miss St. Maur, Lord Dufferin, General Weinyes,Colonel Bouvcrir, the lion. Miss Seymour, Sir F. &ono, etc. Her Majesty was received enthusiastically, and her ap pearance at the window of the Royal Stand, with the royai ahlildren, was greeted with prolonged cheers. The course was cleared immediately alter, and at two o'clock the first i event of the day, the Visitors' Plate, came off. With re ference to the Emperor's Plate, which was neat in the order of running, we should state that the betting, owing to the uncertainty that prevailed as to the intentious of the Russborough party, was for a considerable time at a stand still. It was known that Lord Eglinten had been in treaty fur him on Wednesday evening, but it was not known that his lordship's offer had been declined ; in fact the public were kept completely in the dark until a few minutes past one o'clock, when it was officially announced that the horse would not run: As a matter of course those who were "on " exclaimed loudly against Mr. Mangan, giving vent to their anger in terms too strong to be mentioned. Little need be said of the race : Wool wich, the property of two or three parties connected with the "ring," waited on the favourite until within the dis tance, and won in very clever style by a length. Of the succeeding events it is only necesary to refer to the one to which we have already alluded —viz., the New Stakes. Fur this 12 came to the post, Brother to Elthiron, on whom odds were laid at starting, winning cleverly by a length. To this followed the 701. Plate, immediately alter which the Queen took her departure auieLt demonstrations of re spect and attachment creditable to the " lieges" and evi dently gratifying to her Majesty. The weather, generally fine on the occasion of royal visits, took an unfavourable turn immediately after the Cup race, and, until after the but event was decided, was wretched ; the rain never ceased, the (mune became a forest of umbrellas, and the formation of a regular betting ring was out of the question ; in fact, from the time the Queen lett saute qui petit became the order of the day ; to obtain a listof the f'ashionables under such circumstances, was out of the question, but we may venture to say that if the attend ance showed a falling off in numbers, it was in other respects scarcely inferior to former "cap days." The bosinees details of the day were got through satsfactorily, and we must do Mr. Hibbard, junior, the justice to add that he proved himself a very competent starter. The races, which were brought to a close shortly after five o'clock, resulted as follows _ . lab) intelligence. EQUITY COURTS.—YENTEn u.t Y. Simms TIK MASieit or IRK Rom.. TRYE T.

This suit a J 9 instituted by the executors of the I ite ('ol. 011ney, of Cheltenham, to have his estate administered, and certain questions arising upon his will determined by the court. The testator was entitled to this c several niortg.iges on the estates of Lord Aldborough, in Ireland, for 12,01,0/., 20,000/., and 5,010/., and being desirous of bequeuthing the money for charitable purposes, and under toe impression that the Mortmain Act, 9 Geo. 11., c. 30, applied to Ire land, which it does not, and being therefore desbous of eroding its provision. , ' he entered into an agreement the 2nd of January. 1836, with William Charles King far a nominal sale to hint of the several mortgage debts for 36,000/. ; and by hi, will dated the 3rd of January, 1839, the testator gave this 36,0001. to the plaintiffs on trust, to invest the same in government securities, and accumi.: ate the income during the life of his wife, and then to tear. er so mush thereof as should be equal to tar value of 5.,•1A0. sterling into the names of the mayor and cora:oration of Gloucester, upon trust, in the first pLce, to raise 1,3001., which sum he dircetcu should, in the event of any land awing given or granted to Ca, said mayor and corporation for the purpose of his ehr...,ty within the period of 10 years next att. his decease, under the provisions 9 Geo. 11., c. 36, be laid out and expended in or toward the foundation and build'aig and furuighing a substantial hospital or almshouse for the city of Gloue, , ster, according to the scheme or plan which he hail drawn up and signed for the due regulation of the hospittl or alms house, which he intended should be founded and established in due time atter his decease, and he directed that the assi due of the 8,4410/. should be laid out for the benefit of the city of Gloucester upon the trusts declared by hint in his said scheme or plan toe the foundation and endowment of the said almshouse ; and his testator directed other part of the said trust monies, equal to 8,000/. sterling, to be transfctred to each of them, the mayor and corporation ot"lewkes bury, the minister, and churchwardens of Cheltenham, and the ministers and churchwardens of Winchcumbe, to be applied for the fouia:ation of almshouses in each of thoito places, in the name manner as he had directed us to the almshouses intended to be founded by him in Gloucester. And he directed that no part of the said trust monies should be applied in purelinting laud, and that in case no land or site should be granted or conveyed for the purposes aforesaid within ten years after his decease, then so much of the said trust monies as should be incapable of being applied for the pur poses aforesaid should sink into and form pail of his resalu ary personal estate. which he gave to certain parties therein named. The testator died on the 16th January, 1836, and his widow in 1838, and it was not till January, 1846, that the eorporatious of Gloucester and Tewkesbury, and the churchwardens of Cheltenham and Winchcombe respec tively, procured grants of lands fot the erection of the anus houses intended to be founded by the testator. The con veyance of the land in each ease was executed before the completion of the ten years from the testator's decease, and all of them enrolled in Chancery according to the requisi tions of the Alortmain Act within that period, except that to the corporation of Gloucester, which WRY not enrolled till 21st January, 1846. The questions now discussed were, first, whether a gift of mosey to be applied in builel:ng an almshouse, in case land should be given for that purpose by some other party, was valid, having regard to the provisions of the Mortmain Act; and, secondly, whether, aupposlug such gift to be valid, the donecs of the bequests for that pur pose in this case had respectively complied with the eonddion of the testator as to procuring a grant of land for sites within ten years after his death, which depended on the question whether the grants could be considered as made within the meaning of the testator; although, as to that to the corpo- THR VISITORS' PLATE of 100 eOTS, and 2,5 for the second (handicap), by sub of 5 goes. each ; one, round and a dis tance._ _ _ Mr. Stephenson's Minna, 4 yrs, 7itt Mr. Nestire Artisan, a yrs, yet 101 b IA.

NOILISON.—INJUNLTION.. The plaintiff and defendant had been engaged in a part nership as " manufacturers and vends es of Munson'si I.lni versal Vegetable Medicines," under an agreement, origi nail), entered into between James Morison, the father of this defendant and inventor of the medicines, and the father of the plaintiff. The plaintiff and defendant had succveued to the shares of their respective parents in the concern. In the original deed of partnership Morison covenanted to com municate the secret of the process of !nuking the medicines to Meat, awl Moat covenanted not to communicate ouch secret to any person whatsoever, and it was awned that Morison should remain the sole proprietor of the secret. Prior to the forroatiou of the partnership, labels to be an nexed to the medicine% were prepared by Munson, and left 'by him at the Inland Revenue Office, Somerset House, where blocks or plates were prepared ter stamping such labels. The secret of the manufacture had been communi cated to Moat, the father, by Morison. Upon the dissolu tion of the partnership u question arose no to the light of user of these tamps. The defendant contended that. as the sole property in the secret of making the medicines was preserved to his father by the terms of the deed, the right of user of the stamps belonged to him as an incident of such sole property. The plaintiff, on the other hand, :contended that the right of user of the stamps and the property in the blocks was part of the partnership property, awl he claimed to have a shore in such user in proportion to his share in the partner:hip. This right he had been unable to assert at the Suimpsettiee, where the title of the party who originally took out the stamp was the only one recognised. f he object of the hal was to restrain the defendant from preventing such user by the plaintiff of the label stamps. The Vice-Chaueellor observed that from the statements upon the bill, the plaintiff appeared to have elm:anvil a knowledge of and an interest in the secret of the manufac ture, and that an injunction could not go iu his favour tin less it appeared that he had either lawfully acquired such knowledge and interest, or that he had dealt with the de fendunts upon that understanding. As neither of these points were established in the bill to the satisfaction of the court, the injunction must be refused, but without costs. ST.

The de fendant denied that his works extended under the plain tiff's land, and contended that the court had no rigut to grant the inspection asked for.
