Those schemes are coolessedly emnrehometre in the widest sense. They are limited, is het, by the canapes only of Christendom itself. Wherever Christianity prevails it is the political ambition of Rome to gain ascendancy and deminioe--seeendaacy over the civil conscience, of men, and dominion over their social interests and national institutions. With this new, education in all its branches and in every stage of development, from the primary wheel to the scientific elate of • wrivereity, is watched with vigilant eye, and grasped, wherever poosible, with exclusive hand. If the rising genera the wawa be Maculated successfully with the belief in macerdataliemb they may grow ni 3 lightened mow, {oral citizens, and morel men, but the power of the Church will not be incresesel, and the democratic habit of asking questions, inquiring reasons. cud exacting responsibility from those M lofty tulles, whether clerical or lay, is not likely to be abated. And this habit, which is the fruit, the precious and pricelas fruit, of Protestantism la literature, in society, sod in public life, Ultra-Mos tamale in every free ',matey is labouring to destroy. With signal pliability and subtleness indeed it yields much and long, in order to secure a well-es tablished footing, ere it avows its real purpose and design. Before the paean of the Relief Act of Pe*, mid for some time afterwards, Catholic teachers in England and Ireland complained that the sons of the wealthier classes of their communion were not allowed to enter the Universities as equals with their Protestant brethren, and to compete for collegiate hewers and emoluments with them. Now the tone is altogether changed. Pious persons arc admonished net to pleas their sow in contact with the youth of other perwasiotri; no demand is any longer made Sot the unsectarianising of Dahlia University; while t►at of London, as well as the Pro vincial Colleges of Belfast and Cork, where complete equality exists, we pieced under interdiet by the Prelacy and Priesthood attached to High Church Catholic principles. The attempt to establish an exclusive university under clerical auspices is steadily persisted in ; and until a new institution shall be able to afford something worthy of the name of a university education, the Roman Catholic gentry sad middle clams are counselled to he content to seed their sons to no seminary of the higher kind. What seems to as far more important as a sign of the times, precoooitory measures have brim already taken for breaking up, if possible, the system of neutral or unsectarian instruction that has been maintained for upwards of flue and twenty years in Ireland under the auspices of what is celled the National Board of Bisect/ea. Prom the hour that Archbishop CULLEN 'seamed the reins of ecclesiastical government in Ireland, as religious viceroy of the POPE, it was felt by many that the system in question was likely, sooner or later, to be exposed to his hostility. It was impos sible not to recognise in all that was publicly said and done by him a foregone conclusion against the policy of compromise with, and toleration of, direst born the views of the Propaganda. Dr. enamel predecessor in the Roman Catholic primacy, se well as his predecessor in the the of Dahlia, was deeply imbued with the policy and piety of seeteetee peace; sad with two or three exceptions the Rama Catho lic hierarchy, up to the period referred to, steedsly and strenuously supported the scheme of N•tiaaal Edscation, not perhaps as the most mead dent with dogmatic theories, but se the best that could be obtained,—,s a really efficient method for imparting the advantages of a mend and pare course of practical instruction to the multi tudes of children whose parents were of their docks. The presence, up to the day of his decease, of the late Archbishop &traitor, at the Mixed Board in Dublin, was nfficient guarantee against any design or tendency to proselytism; and the continuance, stow then, of Bishop Dee rill in a like capacity, constituted in itself a plain and palpable answer to all objections founded on the plat of Roman orthodoxy being endangered. So long as the last-named Prelate retained his seat at the Board, it was obviously diffi cult to sisal its teaching openly as " contrary to " faith or morals," and as the first attempts el the sew Archbishop to engage the sus picions of the parochial prieothood, or of the laity of his own immediate diocese, on his aide in the matter, threatened to prove siessesedal, the impatience of the Vatican was mused that the affair amid take time, and that the fortreos of popular enlightenment and mutual toleration' mad be written) mined before its gates were motile& Seven years have accordingly been diligently Veld la preparations for this and other enterprises et • Mettler character. As vacancies have occurred la the Raman Catholic hierarchy, they have been systematically filled up by mco, generally of ability, bet always of known attachment to Whs. Moetane views. The traditional privileges of eke bon by the priesthood of each diocese, which formed • salutary check ulna Italian fanati cism, have bees sternly trampled under foot by the Papal Legate, whose cominees have, we belie,,, is almost if set in every instance, bees sonaremed at Rams. A compact arid docile majority ia the national Synod—should that be appealed M— hos t►us Wee seamed ; tte minority are helpless I &amnion is all over ; ii:cut and absolute aseeedeaey has bees raised, and inexorably, as far as the Pre lacy an camersed, it will henceforth be used. It is not permitted to tb penetAte• the solema mysteries of intolerance. The result.sidkfimy and sad, are all that meet Rai" nain rye. Not very long since we *el that" . tloe •ve nerable Bishop Dzima had Inceived a nab date to attend in Rome in terms whose accusatory significance is not to be mis taken. Ere he quitted his native shores, he disused it prudent or necessary formally to resign Ida mat ass member of the National Board of Educa tion. No clause, at least no adequate cause, was 'Weed; sad the act, as may be 'apposed, gave rim Is army doubts and perplexities in the minds of them who hod all their lives been accustomed to look up to the exemplary Bishop as a pillar of the Church ...se-militant here on earth. Then rumours spread that 1)r. DENTII half regretted what he had done as inopportune and precipitate, and some went even the length of saying that if ever he came back from Rome, he would vindicate the consistency of a long life spent in soothing rather than exacerbating differences, and preaching Christian equality, not sew. Irian rivalry and ambition, by resuming his seat in the Direction of Mixed Education. We are not to pry too closely into personal sentiments or motives. These, after all, signify but little. The purest and stateliest life-bubbles on the surface of the stream pass out of sight and remembrance, but the current of affairs flows on without being perceptibly changed. The power of resistance in the Roman Catholic Prelacy and Priesthood of Ireland to the arbitrary dictates of foreign domination seems fur the present to be gone ; and unless among the laity there rises up a spirit such as that we have seen in Catholic Belgium and in Catholic Piedmont, we must prepare to see education in every grade, and intel lectual culture in every form, reduced beneath the yoke of clerical domination. The other Roman Catholic members of the Board have not yet withdrawn ; and some of them may not do so for some time. Bat the way is paved for sepa ration, and all confidence in the durability of the salted system is paralysed. The next thing we shall hear of probably will be a demand ham Parlia ment of separate grants for the different Communions. All the bigots and firebrands of every sect will swell this cry, until the existing system Is overthrown; and, that once accomplished, if accomplished it shaald be, they will then instinctively turn on one another with uncontrollable animosity. What a prospect for good and just men in Ireland of all Ton proems of living on other people's property, at all events after the process of detection has set in, does not appear conducive ton robust state of health. Mr. CAMERON, of the British Bank, was for some tines so gnat i sufferer ea to render his absence at Continental watering-places a matter of profit' ne cessity. Colonel WAUGH, of the London and Eastern Bank, has long been in the same interesting and premier condition; and now Mr. J. C. STZPIIENS —the active and indefatigable jackal' of that pro digious golden lion— has been suddenly obliged to decamp tram Edinburgh under stress of an raininstime which has proved too much for his nervous spawn. The man has been asked questions which have violently disagreed with him, because they have left him no alternative between the commission of perjury and the confession of plunder. The tormentors have followed him actor the borders : the Land of Cakes offers an asylum for runaway couples, but not for runaway insolvents. There is no Gretna-peen for eloping bankrupts. The Scotch law professes, in deed, in cases of insolvency, to exclude as irrelevant all inquiry into the moral turpitude, or even the cri minal !aches, of they who apply for its protection, except In so far r either may have had a ten dency to affect the amount of the dividend. Bat this rule, although it occasionally stopped the investigation at a much caviler stage than would have been the MO on this side of the Tweed, did not prevent a very thorough exposure of the mismanagement to which the depositors end shareholders of the Lead= and Emit= Bank have been victims. Mr. STLPIIINS was made to tell his own story, and a very pretty little romance of rsa eality was the result. Originally an assistantenr pea in one of her kLuarre's regiments in India, this dexterona adventurer, in the beginning of 1856, became the manager of the London and Eastern. He does not appear to have brought anything of his own into the concern, except an instinctive know ledge of dupes and an acquired connexion among nabobs. He wan also en adept in the new philosophy of banking. His capacious mind had thoroughly mastered the theory that a bank is primarily an institution for collecting the savings of the indus trious as material for the enterprises of the specula tive. With these qualifications and this guiding principle he set to work on a scale of " greatness," that Mr. JONATHAN WILD would have admitted to ba baroic. Colonel WAVGH, Cato of Belgravia and Branksea Coatle—now of Malaga, or some other Andalusian or Mediterrauean ',treat auspicious to nerves shattered by Baokruptcy—found Mr. STEPHENS eminently useful to him. The Colonel was jut in the position which makes Bank accommodation especially desire- be.. He was doing the Nabob in Belgravia--his wife's millinery bills (since shown up in Basingball-street) rivalled the outlay of Empresses—he had built him 'elf a castle at Branksea Island, and had found a vein of clay there, which only wanted a Company to mark it. To this magnieoent millionaire, STEPHENS, ssi ad acquaintance, was only too proud to do the bassi of the Bank. It was to serve such enter prises, sad such a man, that shareholders subscribed sad depositors invested. A more legitimate appro priation of the savings of industry could not be de sired than the support of Mrs. WACOWS wardrobe and opera-box—the Colonel's castle and clay-pit. To these laudable purposes Srtritru4--always, of tonne, with the sanction of the directors—devoted out of the Bank funds an aggregate of some 240,000!., which happened to be within a trifle of its whole paid-up capital. The late _ however, by no means confined his attentions to Colonel WACGA ; he found time and opportunity for various other deve lopments of the modern theory of banking. Di rectly or indirectly ho became a partner in some half-dozen other concerns, by the simple pro. was of advancing the capital of the Bank, either on insufficient security or no security at all. At one and the same time he had on his hands the following bond frie undertakings :-1. A commission agency to India. 2. A wharlinger's business. 3. A watchmaking business. 4. An upholstery buri sm. 6. A pianoforte manufactory. In all these enterprise., except one, he was a partner ; for all alike be supplied capital by dipping more or less deep as the specusion required into the Bank till Sacb were a few et the little facts that came out on the Edinburgh examination of Mr. STEPHENS ; it is hardly to he wondered at that, after roar days of this sort of week, he became nervous in his manner and =famed 'shim answers ; in fact, that he experienced all the inci pient symptoms of that description of malady which bas so often made Continental travel a painful necessity to gentlemen in like interesting situations.

And to their explanation I would reply that those who have read the accounts in the newspapers are just those who would avoid seeing the print, while a picture attracts the eyes of the ignorant and brutal in the street who are precisely those who are likely . to be morally injured by the spectacle. Consider ing, on the one hand, the increase of the wife-beating proportion of our street passengers, whose imagine. tiOfts need no instruction in the art of tormenting ; and, on the other, the relatives of those who have died in India, I think Messrs.

IXPkESS FROM PARIS. ,„imperial decree in the ifortitestr of today in flounces that foreign brandies bare to pay oh impor tation into France a duty of 25fr. per hectolitre of pure alcohol. (ROY OCR ORX PARIS, WIDWEIDAT EVININD. A duel was fought on Monday, Dec. 14, between M. Chili d'Est Ange, jun., the son of the recently appointed Procureur Imperial, and a gentleman of ancient family, the Marquis de Penan. M. Oleic d'Est Ange, jun., has for some years been known at the Palms as a rising barrister, and on his father's prosnotion, the conduct of a chronic law snit of very long standing, between the Marquis do Person and his wife, a lady of high lineage, which had been entrusted to M. Chine d'Eat Ange, the father, was transferred to the eon. The latter had almost immediately occasion to make a speech in court, for the purpose of obtaining an order that the Marquis do Person, who had been permitted to visit his children at their school every week, should in future be only allowed to see them once a month. In the course of this speech the young advocate made some remark+ which induced the marquis to send him an insulting letter. A hostile message at once followed, notwithstanding representations made to M. Chile d'Est Ange by the leaders of the bar that it was against the principles of the order to fight in justification of any remarks made in the performance of the duty of an advocate. A long negotiation followed, but without tending to any amicable arrangement, and ultimately a meeting took place, at an early hour on the day above men tioned, in the Avenue Villiers, near Themes, on the outskirts of the Bois de Boulogne. M. Chan. d'Est Ange was accompanied to the ground by M. Caumartin, advocate, and the Dine of Rovigo. I have not heard who were the seconds of the marquis. The duel was fought with sword+. After several pawn the Marquie de Parma received a wound in the right wrist, which rendered him unable to hold his weapon, and the seconds declared that the honour of both parties was satiatied. It is said that a pro mention will be instituted, with the view of laying before the public a full explanation of the affair, and in that case it will be the duty of M. Chair d'Est Ange, senior, as Minister of Public Justice, to direct the prosecution of his son for a breach of the law. This proceed ing, however, wiU not infer any severe Roman vir tue on the estimable Procureur Imperial, for a trial for a duel is never a serious affair, and always ends in either an acquittal or a ridiculously light sentence, I learn that the Emperor will shortly preside at a grand sitting of the Council of State, in which a decision will be come to respecting the bill for Agri cultural Assurances, which has been rejected by the commercial section of the Council. It is more than doubtful, notwithstanding a caricature of the Charicari representing a street in which a leg of mutton, a calf, or a joint of beef is seen hangigg out of the window of every story in every house, whether the abolition of the butchers' monopoly will not be indefinitely adjourned. lam assured that the project which the Municipal Council has rejected was signed by the Emperor himself; but as they insist strongly upon reasons affecting the city funds, an impression prevails that the Emperor will give way. As to the bill for the alteration of the usury law of 1807, which has been for some time before the Council of State, I understand that it has been refetred to the Procures., Imperial, to make a report upon it. It seems to be quite certain that the vacant seats for Park will not be filled up until after the Carps Legislatif re-assemble in January. The supposed reason for this is the desire to avoid an appeal to the constituency which elected earaignac,aarnot, end Cioudchaux, whilst the impression made by the suppression of the Proud is warm in the public mind. It is perhaps doubtful, however, whether anything will be gained by this procrastioating policy, for besides that the electors of Paris have shown that their memories are not short, they will be likely to resent the meeting of the house for important buaineis while they remain unrepresented. The Bourse was firmer to-day, owing to an im pression that the Bank of France would to-morrow extend the reduction of its discount to 6 per cent. for three months bills. The Route fell 40e. far cash, and 3k. for account, closing at 68fr. 80e., and 67fr. Mobilier rose 16fr. The Orleans Rail- way rose 12fr. 60e.; Northern, 62fr. 60e.; Lyons, 12fr. 50c. ; Southern, 71r. 50c.; and Eastern, lfr. 23c. Western left off without variation.

The route takes by Mr. Newell was that of keeping as near to the cornet of Italy as posslble, owing to the great depth in the direct course between Malta and Code. Opposite Mount Etna the profundity wee found to be Immense. The weather was very favourable, and the submergence was effocted most suooseefully. As soon as the telegraphic ooremanicatios was completed the Elba fired a salute, and the crew cheered heartily. Mr. Newell and Mr. Liddell are expected to lease Cagliari in a few days foe England.

UNITED STATES, Extraordinary frauds have been brought to light during an investigation of the business of the board of health of Philadelphia by the finance committee of the common council of that city. There has been going on for a long time a system of fraud by which huge amounts of the city money have been appro priated, one of the prudes, being the presentation of false bills, which would be passed by the board, and a warrant, properly vouched, drawn on the trea sury, the proceeds going into the pockets of mem bers of the board. A fugitive slave cue hu caused much sensation at Brooklyn and New York. A young man of 24 years, nearly white, belonging to James Stead, th e keeper of some billiard-rooms at Augusto, in Georgia, took in the steamer Florida, on her last trip for ew York, as a second-class passenger. Be wee not discovered until the vessel was rear New Yea, and upon arrival the fugitive was ironed and hurried off to a house in South Brooklyn, where he remained in close custody three days, until a writ of habeas corpus was issued by Judge Culver. On the imms ditto return of the writ, the fugitive •as started on the underground railroad for Canada. The captain of the steamer, two special policemen, and the owner of the house where he WAS confined, bus been held to bail on • charge of conspiracy and kidnapping. . There is but little political news by this arrival. The opening of Congress and tho President's mes sage are eagerly expected, and the New York Herald says: It is reduced to a moral certainty that Mr. Buchanan, in his message to Congress, will adopt the Hams programme of the Lecompton Convention, and sustain that programme for the settlement of the slavery hour —provided always that this question of slavery shall be submitted to the populw crucible of a fair and honed election in Kansas. On the other side, it appears to be equally certain that th e hostile attitude ounted by Governor Walker will be supperted by Mr. Senator Dmglia, of Illinois, Senators Gain and Bro. &rick, of Califon* and other Northern democratic mem bers of Congress, and by some of the most prmithentof oar Northern democratic journals, and upon the broad ground that "popular sovereignty " requires that the Kamm State constitution itself, and the whole of it, should be submitted to the people, slavery and everything The hero York Tinted gives us the following : It is now understood at Washington that the adnuaithe don, during the sitting of the Conatitutional Convention in Hanna, bad a secret agent engaged in advising its Jumbos, and through whom portions, if not the whole, of the sohrdele as published, were dictated by the executive. There is stated to be also abundant evidence that, Mewed of signing their names to ea engrossed copy of the constitution, the members of the convention placed their signatures to a bleak sheet of parchment, which oeu'd be appended to any doze mot at pleasure. It is elated that a Vigilance Committee is now actually being formed throughout the territory, to oppose any effort to wry into effect the result of the &li beralism of the Constitutional Convention. • THE ARMY OF BELIEF: THE VOYAGE TO INDIA. Extract of a letter from an officer in one or the sailing vessels conveying troops to India, dated Point de Gale, Oct. 29, 1857 : Sea," Sept. 7, at lat. 17 S., lon. 24 W. " I write a few lines in ease of meeting a blue ward-bound vessel, which they say it is not unlikely we may do about this latitade. Hitherto we have had a favourable voyage as regards weather, though the wind has not always been in the right quarter for speeding us on to our destination. The temp. rat are was remarkably cool about the Line, ALTO* raging about 76 deg. in the caddy, and as yet it hu never been above 80 deg. Fahr., a very pleasant degree of warmth with a sea-breeze blowing through the vessel : it now every day grows perceptibly colder, and the captain intends going as far south as 40 deg. lat., when of coarse it will be very cold indeed. We exceed the sea, as the sailors term it, about 7 deg. or 8 deg. North lat. We are now getting into the spring of this part of the world, and shall soon be on the look out for icebergs. After two or three weeks of cold weather we shall be running up towards the Line again on our way to Ceylon. We touch at Point de Gallo for orders. " Our captain is a gentleman, and a pleasant fellow, and my brother officers are agreeable companions. Our table is very well found—supplied with fresh rolls and bread every day as good as we could get at home : the suppliesof everything, indeed, are mat liberal, and with health nothing could be more agreeable than the voyage has hitherto been. The band plays every day after dinner on the poop, just filling up the time from dessert to sunset, which is here about six o'clock. Our dinner hour is three; at six we take coffee ; from eight to ten o'clock bit. cults, wines, fix., are on the table, and books, whist, chess, or round games form the occupation of those who prefer the caddy to the deck. The incidents of oar voyage have been few beyond the ordinary cir cumstances attending a sea life. We have caught and killed a large shark, got a flying fish or two on board, and have made several attempts to hook the dolphins which occasionally follow us, but without nouns. Some of us are working h ard at Hindus. tani. Our crew consists of one-third Malays, one third Chinese and the remaining third lAMIII and as the orders are given in Hindostani to all, we already hear something of the language about us, but, as might be expected, it is only a very cor rupt patois, and would, I fancy, be understood Very little by any but sailors. The Hindoos had elu desl the other day to celebrate what they call their Christmas-day, or greet day they have their tom toms on board just as the negroes hare in the West Indies ; and what with that sounding forward and the bagpipes to the men dancing midships . of an evening, while the echo of our band is still in our ears, we have plenty of music. Oet. 17.—We have exchanged signals with several vessels, but have had no opportunity of =- manic:sting more closely. We aro now speeding oa towards Ceylon with the trade-wind, having lately escaped from the cold and stormy latitudes mine south. A week ago we were shivering in 37 deg. South lat., with high winds end mists; now we have a hot sue, and can hardly put on clothing light enough. The thermometer in the middy stands et 80 Fair. At noon yesterday we were in 18 deg. S., to-day at noon we shall probably be in 141 deg. S. Point de Oalle is in 6 deg. IS., so we may be there in ten days or a for night. The steamer from England arrives at Oalle on the 23rd, and stays 24 houre, and as we hope to get news by it from bane op to the 26th September you env, imagine bow much we are interested in our anticipated visit to Oalle; and, besides, it is there we are to learn ore destination. We had very stormy weather &Wattle ' island of Tristan d'Acunha on the 18th of last mouth, , and cold weather, with occasional gales and raja , from that date till between 70 and 80 E. kn., whet I we turned northwards. We went as far south* ' 43 deg. The general health of every one on bead ' has been very good; we have had no death, altheagb over 400 on board. Noon : The observation bin jog bees taken, and we are found to have run 248 mils since noon yesterday. " Oct. 29.—We arrived off Point de Galls hat night. We have been delayed by calms, and we as now about being transhipped to a steamer for Cal. cotta." The Special Diet of Coburg, in its sitting of* 13th, again rejected, by 16 votes to 16, the bill manna 1 6 the government for affecting a union between the Dabs of Coburg and Gotha.
