TIP?. UNITED STATES. •• 40X at tataLlArinfinT4 NEW YORK, MAwcll 22. The " ss hoei question," with which the working of the national system of education in Ireland has nntesppily made you all so familiar, is beginning to Mile a good deal of trouble here. " Religious in- I Amnon," se far as Bible-reading, the repetition of the Ten Commandments, the Lord's l'rayer, and the singing or t hsnting of a psalm or hymn, is part of the ahem tourer in the public schools in this as well as in the New &viand States. Up to the present time the r r.: lieu of Irish catholic have attended Sad taken heart in all the exercises without objee non or reciurstrince ; but of late year, they have bets getti.rg sufficiently w.merous to enable them to offer oppoietion to the protestant programme. In 1 this city "hey have mansged to exclude the reading ef toe scriptures by electing their own candidates at the committee of some of the districts ; but is Boston they have adopted the bolder course eti ordering their children to refuse to chant the esestnandun eta and the prayers is some of the schools when directed to do so by the teachers. In comet Sena of this stand, two or three hundred children nese limn expelled, awl the parents are en 'enraged sit:i sustained in their resistance by the priest/. h one case corporal punishment was very 'melanin thy resorted to to compel a boy to join in chanting the commandments in opposition to his father's a N WWI order,. He finally auccumiod amen the tort u e, and obeyed the teacher, but the etas bas been broullit before the police courts by the parents, and has c riled a good deal of excitement. Most people w4O take a calm and dispassionate view ett , the matte.. cud are more anxious tor the diffusion off keowledgo amongst the muses than fur the enessam of a/elan& teaching, deprecate in strong teems the course of tor sch en authorities in foreleg apes the catholic popile any practice of no great ins Co whiee. they have conscientious o feeders of a reegiou nature. The truth is, that these squabble. are but the beginning of • conflict, which all who know the catholic clergy know very well will arise sooner or later for the con trol of the retools, or at least for the control of the taxes, ct a portion of them, that are devoted to school pie poses, and anything which hastens it, or which weseens the moral position of the protestant. in entering upon it, is undoubtedly to be deplored. Rumours as to " the coining man" for the peed dency are of course rife, and, in fact, supply mate rials for all the political gossip of the day. Seward seems to he still the favourite of the republicans, and I have litt e doubt will receive the nomination. The experience of the last fifteen or twenty years has convinced everybody that the man is of far greater importance than his creed, and that a far better esti muss can be formed beforehand of the probable coarse to be pursued by his administration, by an exansinat ten of his own antecedents and character, than by the "platform" he adopts. Judged by this criterion, no one stands better than Seward. Ile has, through twenty-five years of public life, been the steady and leerier champion of an unpopular cause, and he has every year, in teyeeches and state papers, given abundant evidence of the possession of the highest order of talent. Ile is going to England this summer, and I believe his friends are extremely desirous that he should mike a long visit, so as not to turn up again on this side of the water until very shortly before the elect vn The popular nerves, as "the cam paign ' d-ows Lear, are generally in a highly sensi tive state. h. ;try tiling which a pom ible candidate says or does is canvassed with the utmost minuteness, and the suneirst indiscretion of language may seriously deluge a tonn's prospects. Seward is not a person to disgui•r his sentiments, or modify their utterance, when the ocm.sion calls for them, and therefore his great salty. and in fact nay one's in his position, on the eve of rue strug;le lies in silence. So when you get him hoer in England the republican party will feel greet'y obliged by your keeping him there u long as possible. When you have him it miy no: he out of place to say that you have, perhaps. Lie greatest constitutional lawyer of America. tier clearest-headed statesman, a powerful and oboe all a mot logical orator, and of all the public men of this country perhaps the least of a demagogue and the most of a gentleman. Perhaps no man us..ig to-day has discussed questions so vast and so matnewous with so much grasp and vigour is Seward. Except the British parliament debating on India, I ern imagine no Irene more intrinsically solemn than the United States Senate debating the question of slivery on this continent; and on that question no man has spoken more, and none so wisely and elope fitly as he. I can say all this with the more readiness, because I know nothing of him except his public life, and have never heard him open his lips except to d before &court of law the right of the sovereign eat. of New York to bridge one of the largest rise-s in the world, and that river in itsown territory. Topics of such magnitude as this need a robust Intellect to discuss them, and Seward rarely discusses at y other.

The only quake Is whether the winding up—for wilding up there most be—will be but entrust. d to those who have brought on title nate of affairs, or to tfficial persona, who will exercise an independent position. Mr. Lieklater asked either that the petition should be amended, by minims the words " contributories," or that the order should be made on the petition as the petition of creditors, as in that case another liquidator representing the creditors would be associated with the offioial liquidators. la the course of a eceversation which ensued es to the provisions of the various act, on this subject, Mr. Roxburgh observed that he was not answerable Sit what wee containedin he act of parliament. The Commissioner—lt is very lucky for you. (Inaghter.) Even if you were obliged to understand it, it would be some pressure upon your intellect.

Mr. Itirilien 7 gh—Thenthirorder will be for winding up in the usual form; and I shall now ask for a (unbar order to restrain all prooesdings by creditors.

Thera was a large array rt counsel on both aides, Mr. Janes, Q.C,, sad lir. Wilde, Q.C., being the respectito lesders. Mr. 'mem en behalf of the plaintiff, elearsotated the libel as one of the most foul and calumnious ever brought be fore a jury. The facts atheism showed theta January, Id4B, a gentleman named Riohazderia, who had previously been In business as a tailor, died in the neighbourhood a Liverpool. Mr. Richardson employed Mr. Titer's his legal 'dynamsr atoce he commenced busiaas in 1839 ; and his am, Mr. Robert Richardson, being aware of this, after his father's death called upon the plaintiff to auk hint If babel possession of • will. Plaintiff replied that he hid no will, and could not recollect ever having drawn one out ; but, at the request of Mr. Richardson, jam., he made a minute march of the office. Still the will could not be toned. Mr. M`Ciallan, the defendant, then called upon the plaintiff, and made the same inquiry, but still with the same result. This wee on the 9th of January, 1848, the day before the funeral, at which Kr. Tyree ma present, in consequence of an levitation which had been forwarded to him. Mr. Robert Richardson was deceased's eon by his first wife, and the widow wee his step mother. lie called one day at Mr. Tyrer'a office, again ask ing if the will had been found ; and at the same time be said that his stepmother bed been fiestrayinEurintity of papere, and that she might iaadvertently, or d esign , have de sailed the will. As a reason for his fe eling SILXIOUII upon the subject, he said that he was informed some large property in the Is le of Mats bad been settled by his father upon the widow, and be ma afraid that if the will were not found she would, in addition, take a third of the edam which amounted to about 10,0001., while the children would come in for another third. Hs said that be knew this was con trary to his father's wish end be bad no doubt as to ire being ultimately toned, but before any action wee taken upon it he should like to know what it was and under what circumstances it ma nude. Mr. Tyree suggested that a caveat should be entered in the Probate Court at Cheater. Mr. Richardson coincided, and they went together to Chester and bed the caveat entered. Title it appears, excited the anger of Mr. Il`Clellaa, sni Mr. Richardson consequently impressed his intention of withdrawing It. Mr. Tyner, therefore, at his request, wrote to the proctor on the same day directing its withdrawal; but be subsequently found that en the very next day (the 13th of January), while absent la London, Mr. Riehardson had caused it to he re-entered. Oa the 14th a will was found, end the mast was finally withdrawn. Mr. Tyree heard nothing more of it until last year and continued to be employed professionally by Mr. Ricliarchion, and by the firm with which the deceased was connected, down to the present year ,• with Kra. Riohardson, the widow, he held no communication after the day of the funeral; and so matters remained until November, 1838_ was the alleged libel appalled. It wee a pamphlet in s cri bed " Truth Is ateanger then Pieties," end the title was, " Legal Slimy; the Story of • Lswyer and a Widow" It was full of scurrilous abuse of a " Kr. Bedenough," who It appeared had victimised, or attempted to victimise the widow and family of • " Mr. Richeuough," end th at by lodging a caveat he had bees guilty of " downright knavery " end that there was "a deep blackness about his conduct in this affair." " Badenough" had been "guilty of inhuman allasy," "infamous behaviour," for "by fraud and false hood" be tried "to force his way into a peaceful and united family," and "with malice aforethought tried to make en irreconcilable breach between the son and his stepmother," " is order that he might more succeedully and effectually transfer • portion of Heir estate to himself." " Such men." the writer continued, "are a disgrace and a scandal to the whole class, ea well as a terrible scourge and peat to society." " Mr. Badenough" was abused throughout the pamphlet in the Name style u already quoted, and for the plaintiff, Mr. Tyree, it was contended that he was the perms alluded to. It was extensively circulated in Liverpool, and ha tow claimed compensation for the injuries he bad consequently received. - lie jury retired and after an hones absence returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 40e.

Cooper prosecuted; Mr. Metcalfe sad Mr. Phillips were coaami for the prisoner Walters. The other prisoner was natishaded. _ _ _ It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Thomas Smith, a stook sad share broker carrying on businees in Copthalb chambers, that on the 7th of March the prisoner Manner :ea cuss to his office, and asked him to sell sixty-eight shares in the Berlin Waterworks for a gentkusen named Horatio Oilmen He told the prisoner that it was late In the afternoon, and that it would net be fair to Mr. C lsgg ett to eiell the shares thin as they were lot very mach de4t in, and he advised that they should not be disposed of until the following morning. The prisoner, however, said that his instructions ware that the sharee should be sold, end that ha should take back the money. Mr. Smith then went Into the Stock Exchange, but his suspicions being aroused he made inquiries, sad the result wee that a policeman was sent for, end the prisoner was asked how he became pee staved of the shares to question, which ha had peer viously handed to Mr. Smith. He then said that he Ind been sent to fell them by two pitons who were waiting out ride, and upon germ into the street they found the mummer Walters end a man named Bennett standing together, and Maawarren was asked whether they wine the persons who bad sent him to sell the thane, and he at first said he could not tell ; but he afterwards stated that they were. Walters and Bennett were taken Into custody, and the latter gave a correct address, but Walters gave a fake one, acid be win committed with Manwarren upon the preeent charge. Bennett was examined as • lasers for the prosecutbn, sad, according to hS evidence, he saw the prisoner Walters at • public-ileum on the sth of March, and that he then told him be had basun sixty and seventy Berlin Waterworks shares to Bal/, end asked him the beet way to dispose of them.

Mr. Richardson the peoeecutor, who is the secretary to the company, was examined, and he proud that the instruments in question were emtificates, sad that • sum of 21. 10., had been paid upon each of the therm These eartificates had been paid into the office when the anseitat of 101 per share was pad in full, and he had not seen there since tee year 1867, end was not aware how they had got into circulation. . The Recorder, at the close of the cam for the prosecution, said it appeared to him that, considering the long period that had elapsed since those certificates were last seen by the pro secutor, the prisoners could hardly be convicted of stealing or receiving them. They were instruments that passed from hand to band, and they might have come innocently into the pomession of the nere. The jury the ore returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

Mr. Sleigh defended the accused. Mr. Superintendent Hannan requested that the persona charged only with being present should be discharged, and the magistrate discharged them accordingly. The evidence ma'am Butt was them gene into. In giving judgment—Mr. Bead= said he bad et ores yielded to the expressed wish of the superintendent and die charged the others who were brought up, and this was as ha had been; mustered to do, because he considered that persons might be there with no view to betting, or entrapped unawares, but at the same time ne was anxious that it should go publicly forth that all who were found in the house where betting we. soles on were liable to His. fine each. The question for him to d,Mde now, wee this a house within the meaning of the statute ? He would sera with Mr. Sleigh, that it must be where money or some valu able thing in lien shall be received In • house where betting takes place, but must totally differ with him In that the plain has no reference to a public-house ; if so, the act might at once be put upon the shelf MI altogether mel-es.
