The noble earl said with regard to sometime affeeted, and which is naturally attendant the locality in which and for which it is intended to found upon the pn•vious excitement and rise, has at present a new literary and :scientific institution, I find in the papers that liaise lawn put out that the sphere of the operations of reached its limit. The advance to-day is most per this institution will emnprac the parishes of St. James, St. ceptible in Lancashire and Yorkshires London and O George, Hanover moan, St. Martitiaaia-the-Fields, and North Westerns, Midlands, and Cakdnians, but the St. Ann'e, Soho.

(Hear.) Within their precincts are the mai- I deuces of a large proportion of those who constitute the most wealthy, the moat edurated, and the most powerful of the cleaves of what we may, without undue pretension, call the foremost people of the world—(cheers)—the residences of statesmen and of warriors whose lives make hiatury—(cheep)—of beautiee, who if we may credit some historians, often make a great deal of underhanded history theonelyes—(leughter)—of authors, gat authors, of one whom I think you have wisely sale rise president— (cheers) —Mr. Babmaton Marsolay—(load eigsrlsg)—aad I who, I feel, ought now to be tilling that place I so tmor- !

The only consolation fir his alieeitec is rit the hope that he is himself engaged in that work, not of the artist, kind, but of writing history--(hear, hear) — which will abide and make his name immortal. (Cheers.) The noble earl, after a few Nether Ma sa:nations, said: I believe that idlt•ness is one of the most trying as well as irksome conditions to which humeri nature is subjected, I or of a thousand I'ICOIIII4I, I n thousand fialita, that at least mama' and occupy the mind ; but idleness—an empty mintl-•ii like a pinwheel house, which, void of t111.131t1., Is occupied by u demon, who enters, takes up his abode, and makes the state of that zumis soul worst: than those already under hi, spiritual mastery. (Hear hear.) I do not want to prescrilw—l :should be ill :jualifica, and little aarranted in so doing—the pursuits and amusements which may lie innocently and profitably pursued. But in this 1,11 must agree with me, that there are in this overflowing town many facilities ear wrong and temptatioas to vice. None can dispute the exiatence of tavern orgies, and other places of resort, attire refined, perhops, but not least dangerous snares, into watch many full, not from deliberate purpose or prtaarrangt d de pravity, but from the temptations of example and the void of an unoccupied mind. (Hear, hear.) It is in the hope off n•-cuing some front the•a: evil, that we tender that which, if well nreived and well used, has :t direct tendency to em ploy and interest the mind, and has at least a maatble ten dency to reline and ennoble it. (Cheer.) Yon wilt have the court details rend the precise plaa of opt-rat ion pmpoatal in founding this institution —if there should he good-sill cliouah here—(hear)—and in these parishes spirit and that, sufficient to justify the formation of sneh an institution—from those who have taken an active part in setting on Mot this most laudable and, if properly supported, most valuable undertaking. (Hear, Mara It is intended, if proper support is afforded from without, to procure suitable premien., hasina a reading-noon supplied with the best reviews, cabs, üblications, and paps rs ; a library, furnished with literary works of greater bulk and higher pre tensions; a lecture-room, where kettltei 011 mom priate bottled, will he delivered by celebrated and competeut professor". It is also intt oiled, in addition to this, to open elaasee for the different Manche; of ust rut knowledge- - such us drawing, chemistry, and others of the I art. and miencta, enabling the membi re to acquin useful I information, and add to their stock of knowledge. It has been said lay 14 great poet, that " a little learning is a dangerous thing." Supposing that to be true, it i. not necessary to stop hen- to discuss what course is indi cated. is it that we should have no learning at all ? (.. No, no.") I think that would Ire a dangerous thing, but I know, and l am glad to know, that it its an ire meanie thing. ((•lostaa.) If "a little learning is a dattgaroue thing," then the only course of notability and s defy open before us :scams to be to take the beet means in our power to make that little learning large. (Hear, hear.) I um sure I need not remind an audience so intelligent a. that, the class of persons air whom this institution has been designed, that no scientific or literary institution- tarn all devotion to Mail-Moat study—run stweetal in making all pngligies of nitrating tor miracles of (Hear)! It will be enough if our proposed institution show that it is capable of producing such an amount of improvement au shall mark the age in which we live with a higher charac ter, giving a wider spread to wisdom and philosophy, and adding a new string to cur lyre. It is the legitimate object of our society to afford, especially to all whose lists are en gnrtscd with the drudgery of labour, or distracted with the clatter of this busy and steaming life, the means and oppor tunity of raining nature refinement, and of enabling them to minim 16111110 1111,101 instruction, literature, and the family of the sciences. The noble earl here said lie had no chain to speak upon the sciences, although his friend, Sir Henry De la Beelle, Out by his side, who was so Well 111101101.11 to cornet him, if wrong; but he could not help quoting to them a very beautiful extract from a statement which had recently fallen tooter his notice. The noble earl then read the extract, to which we have no reference, but which ex plained in a popular style how some of the tiecertained truths. of science had placed the wonder' of truth at the command of the people. The noble earl then con cluded neatly as follows these transcen dent revetations I feel that human literature must fall at first sight its pale pretension and droop its wing. lint even after the contemplation of the loftier arthiteeture or the heav,ns, the most brilliant features of the earth, the deep solemnity of the ot-a, still upon the human eye and the human soul, the form and face of human beauty will exer cise most poteut witchery, and the utteringe of butane genii'. will ever strike home to the heart of 111101. (Cheers.) Verbalist some of you will ft-cl inclined to avail your• salves of the classes proposed to be t:stublished in languages en that you may master the abun dant mamma of style thought, and fancy which other itations of Europe have mastered for themselves; but still will remain in our Saxon tongue those treasure:4 you can always appropriate to your.els es, the unparalleled opu lence of Shakespeare ; the sacred harmony of Milton • the gentle fancy of S penc e r; the nervous energy of Dryden ; the polished brilliancy of lope ; the even flight and tender tone of 60146111W'; the moral dignity off:ow - per. (Cheers.) I will descend no nearer te our uwa time lest I should give causs• fur controtersy. It is to such pursuits which you may follow in our institution that you will owe that improve ment of the mind and heart which none but the debased &alive. There were two points which induced me to come forward on this occasion. One is that the rules lay down no principle of exclusion on the ground of difference in religious convictions and opinions—(cheen)—and the other is that I know the project has engaged the sanc tion awl the active spirit of a minister of religion, to ecaliplary and judicious as the rector of this pariah of St. antes. (Loud cheers.) Iliear ney will be a guarantee that inaproper and questionable productions will not be ulloa:d to be admitted Mae. (Hear, hear.) Having gives a few wards to the adrantagou of cultivating both litera ture and science, I du not propose to advert to the subject of rtaigion. These lips have no special privilege fur that high theme, but it is assuredly not because I undervahae it vast importance. (Hear, hear.) But I should not consider the religion that would oppose or thwart the diffusion of sound and useful knowledge as traitorous to its own claims and suicidal to its own ex istence. (Hear, hear.) Watch then for good, and let each of you direct his course to that study which seems mot appropriate ; and I hope and trust that the institu tion may grow and flourish under the combined influences of faience, literature and religion. I thank you for the attention you hese given rue, and I coufidently leave the subject in your hands. The noble earl concluded amidst loud cheering. Yesterday, the committee re-neumbled, Mr. E.

Sir 11. 11a11 -The c, 1111 l Mace are plared in thin difficulty in come qu. nee of the et 'dente given previously and sort"- hammed je-terday, on which a special report was made to the house. Mr. Serjeant Kinglake contendid that the committee had M power to nuke a special report. The only report which they mould snake was as dual out, 'I he Chairinan-1 10 you iliqiute the power of the com mittee to report to the Inouye the course of proceeding con cerning the Owner rot witnesses Mr. Serjeaut Kinglake-1 certainly fin. I can lind no precedent fur it under the net of parliament. It is said there ire authoritii* the other way: hut the only Case that I tan dud hearing in that direction is the Ipswich election caw, reported in Knapp and llolder, in the year WC,. The learned counsel quoted this case, stating that although Pilgrim and tither witnesam had absconded, the committee went on with the scrutiny, but that they never dreamt of making a report to the house until they made it part of their final report. Me hail looked through the journal. of the house awl through the authorities soil could Mid no cat in which a committee bail c o me to any special report b...dire milting a Mal one. They I. of conic to spe cial rewsion tttt .., but hail always reported the subject matter of those remlutione to the bowie at the time of their final determination. It was on this special report and not upon a final one that the House of Commons had proceeded to exercise their authority, mud to give au order for the war rant to be issued. Ile disputed the power lif the coininittce in this resin et entirely, and wished to intercept the course they had adopted, beaus, the sitting member was present at great expense anti ready to receive their decision. 'lice construction of the act of parli 1111 l i•nt was clear upon the question. which was a most important one as regarded the act dune by the house itself, and a. regarded the liberty of the persons in custody on the authority of the Speaker's warrant. Alter quoting the Canterbury, Camelfuril, and other COW. in support of his position, Mr. James. Q.C., followed on the same side, affirming that the question was not only important as involving a principle but with r.•terence to the character and dignity of the house. It was of vital importance that their pro ceeding* should be regular in view of any proceedings that might be instituted in a court of law with reference to env indictment the House of Commons might think right to direct. or with refen•nce to any mis-state snent, penalty, or perjury. It was essential to the convic taco of any individual before a judge or jury that the com mittee should not in any way have exceeded their power. It war essential to the sitting member, to the dignity, of the house. and of importance to the public, that the committee should be right in point of law, and that nothing should take place to detract from the respect in which these tribunal* were held. The atal question about the issue of the Speaker's warrant was another matter altogether. Sir It flail—There is no doubt of the meaning of the II it 12 Vic. sees. 81 and 87, that the committee may de cide that t hey may report their derision to the house as regards the general merits of the petition; and by the 87th section it is clear also that if the committee come to any resolution other than those mentioned, they may make a s cal report to the house, with their opinion, at the time inform the house of their dual determination. That r and conclusive as regards the final decision of the Mammaittee in reference to the cam of the petition. There we all agree. But the difference that arises is as to the powers mum under the 83rd section. 1 construe the 83rd section In this way : that we are compelled, under that maction, to do certain acts, but I do not think it preemies the committee from exercising their judgment in reporting on any special circumstances that may arise and which have mimeo in the prosecution of this case. Let us look at this point we hare to consider. We are appointed here to try a Cent, and circumstances ',We which bring us to the ! sonshisMa that it is utterly impossible to try that am, and that it is one which we felt it our duty to =to the house, stating that sub circumstances have to prevent a fair prosecution of the case, if we are to believe the evidence of the witnesses yesterday, and of the ' witnesses who preciously gave evidence.

Mr. lIERCItEI.I. complied, and stated that in compli ance with the instructions lie received from the chairman of the fur ker meeting, he communicated the resolution,. then passed to the &mid of Inland Revenue, and in an swer to that communication he had received the following letter: " Inland Revenue, Sumerset-house, April 7, 1841.—SiL,— The Board of Inland Revenue have had under considera tion the resolution passed at the general meeting of the Laud tax Corniniasonsers for the county of Middlesex: 'That the unredeemed portion of the land tax payable by that port of the county of Middlesex inscribed ru tile act 38 Deurge 111., c. ill the rest of the county, is charged with the sum of 107,8011. Ids. 7d., be assessed by an equal pound rate upon all property liable to the tax, within every hundred, lathe, wapentake, rape, ward, or other divisiou within that part of the said county.' I stn directed to observe, that the board deem it necessary to romatuuirate to you for the information of the cummossioners by whom the re,olutiou in question has been adopted, tile view which the board take of this matter. With regard to the pro posed alteration of the 811111.1110 W charged on divisions, the board hold that it does nut admit of any doubt that the I comuussioners of land tax are precluded by the Land Tea Act, 38 lieu. 111., e. 3, see. 7, front altering the MIMS Ur proportions ehargeilon each hundred or division of a noway, where the sums have been charged in the terms of that mai:taunt in proportion to the sums which were assessed upon the same hundreds or division: respectively by the act 4 William and Mary, e. 1, and with respect to an alter ation in the quotas charged on the several parishes within a division, 1 am directed to observe that the land tax has been assessed in the present mode, and the quotas charged uu the division have been assessed in the several parishes in the *mile proportions as are now charged therein during a period of nearly two centuries. l'roperty has been bought and sold and otherwise dealt with on the faith of the perma nency of the practice which has so lung prevailed in that respect, and any attempt now made to alter that practice would, in the opinion of the board, not only be attended with difficulties almost insuperable, but if successful would operate with great injustice. Under these circumstance's the bard cannot but consider it highly inexpedient that any new mode of charging and assessing the land tax should be adopted whereby any alteration would be made in the amount payable in the parishes within any division.-1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS Kti , ll:{l." Sir JAMES HAMILTON wished to know what the meeting bud to do after the reading of that letter, unless they were to set authority and the law at defiance. Ile thought en adjournment had better be moved at once. (Applause.) Hr. PAINE (the coroner) moved that the assessments for the ensuing year should be the same as heretofore. Dr. SAYER seconded the motion. After some diseussion, in which Mr. COppock, Mr. Offer, Mr. Neate, Mr. Nurthall Laurie, Mr. hirby, Sir JAW. Hamilton, and other commissioners took part, Mr. Payne's motion was carried in the following terms :—" That the quotas to be assessed within the several divisions pursuant to the resolution of the last meeting be the same sums as have been assessed therein respectively during the last year." , It was afterwards resolved that the above resolution be forwarded to the clerks of the divisions for them to carry the same into execution. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. siderable this week, but prices have undergone no change. The last sales arc : British North Ameri can ;(301. paid), 131; Commercial of London (20/. paid), 25, 254; Loudon Joint Stock (101. puid), 17Z, ; London and ‘Vestminster (201. paid). 271, ; National Provincial of Englund (35/. paid), -10; National of Ireland (221.

The calculations of Messrs. Itailton and Suns on a certain number of railway stocks in which an in vestment was made last year very well illustrate the effect which during the lust twelve mouths has been produced on railway prices. They say, For the eight weeks preceding the 26th March, a pro gressive weekly improvement took place in the unguaran teed capital of the twenty-three railway Mies we make our weekly estimate upon, until it reached an increase of 541 per cent. on the 19th March, but fell back 2 per cent. with the week ending the 26th, still, however, leaving an ad vance of 52; per cent. since the 26th April, 18.i0. We net against the lust week's prices of the twenty-three lines the dividends declared at the last half-year's meetings, as far as they have taken place, that nu person may labour under any mistaken view of the fact as regards the real position in which he stands under the present anomalous state of the railway market. Our statement shows a profit on the 26th March of 383/. Bs. 14.—being 421 per cent. ou 7331. 16s. 3d. invested on 26th of April last, making it now worth 1,1171. 4s. 44.—and upon the then reduced value of 96,000,0001. of unguarantced psid-up railway capital con nected with the twenty-three lines au improvement of 50,0412,6431. This sum of 50,092,61:3/., it will be understood, is of course fictitious, as it has only reference to the mar ket value of shares, whereas the greater part of the shares never go into the market at all. Taken as a convenient assumption of the proportional effect pro duced, it will show that so fur as those commercial men and capitalists are concerned whose shares do come into the market, a very great degree of relief has been experienced in the past year by them, and it cannot be doubted to the great advantage of the public. Persons who were unwilling to sell at the prices prevailing twelve months ago have been induced by an advance of 50 per cent. to do so, and thereby liberating their capital, have been able to engage in new branches of business. Of the 96,000,0001., it may very fairly be assumed that por tion is held by the mo Thp t rethe ac .moeyri t ola i tra v edere • 50,000,0001. is now the subject of wills, deeds, trusts, settlements, or otherwise in such a condition as not to come into the market.

It held out hopes of complete success. Large donations of books had been promised to the library, and lecturers of high distinc tion had promised their gratuitous services and assistance. The names of several, distinguished in science, were men tioned—among them that of 1/r. Forbes. The rules of the society were then read by Dr. Laukcster. Sir HENRY DE LA BECHE next addressed the meet ing in an able speech, in which he vividly, and in a style suitable to the probable attainments of hu mixed audience, ; explained in many ways the various practical applications of abstract science to the improvement and happiness of man —the advance of civilisation. Sir Ilem speech was received I with cordial applause. Ile concluded by moving the first 1 resolution, to the effect that the St. James's Literary and I Scientific Institution be formed. Dr. LANK ESTER seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The second resolution was moved by W. FUZZLAND, Esq., and seconded by the Rev. W. S. EDWAUBS, and was to the effect that the following noblemen and gentlemen be the President and Viee-Presidents of the Society. The Right. Hon. T. B. Macaulay, President.

Thanks were then voted to the Earl of Carlisle, and the noble chairman having acknowledged the compliment in • short but able addendum to his speech, this highly rasped able meeting broke up at about half-past ten o'clock.

THE NATIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL AsSOCIATION.— On Tuesday evening, one of a series of ward meetings in advocacy of the National Public School Assoeiatieni was held in the Oddfellowa' Orphan School-room, Fullmer street, Manchester. Mr. Councillor Goadsby presided, and, addressed the audience on the advantages offered by the secular system. lle believed it to be the largest, the most tolerable, and the most practical plan yet submitted to the public. Ile would invite parties who doubted the efficiewcy of the secular plan to pay a visit to the school room in which tiny were assembled, where about ninety children were taught, whose parents were Jews, Roman catholies, and others of the greatest diversity of creed. Or. J. Watts, who spoke at some length, considered that one reason why education woe not more common, was the didiculty of attending good schools, in conse quence of the expense. The full mental destlopinent of the youthful part of the population was necessary in order to enable them to earn their own living, and to become useful members of society. Dr. Watts pointed out the propriety of the ratepayers having a control over the management, and showed that this was an advantage peculiar to the National Public School Association, such not hieing the ease in the proposed Manchester and Salford scheme. Ile regarded the National Public School Asso ciation as being the most practical scheme ever brought forward, and proceeded to detail the mode of electing the school committee, the county hoard, &c. The schools would be free of expense, and the doors would be open for all who might choose to come.--The chairman read the copy of a petition to the House of Commons, pray ing that an act might be passed for the establishment of a general system of secular instruction, to be supported by local rates, and managed by local authorities, elected by the ratepayers specially tor the purpose.—lts adoption was unaniruously eacried.

SIIREWSBI:RY AND ILAlLWAY.—Yee terday the shareholders in this railway assembled for the fourth time, at the Swan llotel, Wolverhampton, fur the purpose . of receising the report of the scrutineers upon the votes given on Mr. Ilolland's amendment for an adjourn ment to the 9th May next ; Mr. 0. Gore, M.l'., in the chair. After the report which appeared in yesterday's Ezpress was despatched, the agents and supporters of the committee of inquiry expressed their determination to remain in the room without adjournment until a vote was taken upon tho substantive resolution proposed by Mr. Scutt. An arrange ment was come to at half-past 9 o'clock, and the meeting was adjourned until four o'clock on Wednesday, to receive the report of the scrutineers. Accordingly, noon after the hour appointed the scrutineers appeared, but, in conse quence of differences as to the mode and conduct of the scrutiny, were unable to make the expected report. A more friendly feeling, however, appeared to exist, and it was resolved that the scrutineers should give a report according to the best of their judgment, based upon the reports of previous ,scrutineers, in order to decide, without farther It annoyance, o e u n red the in maj th o e r co ity .. for or of against the day that t am m en a dmeit. meet ing of the board in the morning the majority (who are opposed to the majority of the shareholders) elected Mr. Knox a director (in the room of Mr. Austin), he having re corned his secretaryship.
