NEw HOUSES AND NEW ;ir : From the a, ulei iat sirs by ad day a ill The the interest I have for many years taken in the improvement of the character and condition of the w er k i a .. e c lasses, I was struck with an article, • fe ow days ago in your par?, whidt gave a matacholy, becalm . ..lite, • of the fatal effects of inhabiting ' e w e s 'mime the Plast er is dry. it is not dap alone teat kills the inmates, but a cottitant . c .ti eb-aa tic tionof a • nou s gas from the l ime , which d . y atiut th e f:„ No legislative regulation, as suggested, worLd avail to prevent the premature occupation of dwelliniaj, espec i a ll y 1„. the humbler classes. The forced lose of several months' or assn weeks' rent is a sacrifice the builder will consider great oppression. Now, there is a remedy for this crying ee l, which would satisfy the most impatient builder, as well an eecapier. There exists a cement calculated to supersede teeth l a th and plaster, which makes a much more perfect wall, a r ea' in two or three days, and from which no 'baleful . s h s iatioe arises. It is called " Interace," discovered (by ;joy) while same experiments were making in the geology of fcsalization, and the mysterious induration of stones. Though plastic and easily wrought, it becomes as hard as m arble when dry ; makes a varied and beautiful scagliola for balls, casts of statues, busts, bas-reliefs, and gems ; while it the houses inside and out far better than any cement yet known. It costs a little more than lath and . plaster, but the expense more than met by six or eight weeks' rent laved; or, more cogent yet, by health and life preserved. It has been patented in the three kingdoms, and in several countries of Europe . and the United States. A very eaten- Use building firm in London hold a license for making an d apping it, and, introduced by them, it must make its wa y. When used in building, it not only resists damp, but cures it e ffectuall y in old walls, provided it does not arise from bad drainage. Of this valuable quality I have seen several testimonials. It arrests the progress of fire, which lath accelerates. As • ground for mural painting the " Interaco" is quite unrivalled. The painting on it has all the effect of fresco, and eaves papering and re-papering,' becoming quite refreshed by simple washing. I have seen beautiful specimens of this application, as like wise of scagliola - marble, granite. verde-antique, tes sellation, and other imitations. But m y object in adverting to it now is its wholesomeness for the houses to be erected fur the working classes, both in town and country. It has been proved for 'even or eight years.—JAMES Stmesme-33, Northumberland-street, 'Edinburgh, Nov. 19. THE " TlNtEi n AND THE FALSELY-PREDICTED FA IIINE.—The Times claims the merit, in some degree, of having brought about the falsification of their own appre hensions. " We believe that it is in part owing to the repre sentations which we ourselves put forth in accordance with fears unfounded, indeed, but at the time very general, that we may attribute the :xtraordinary effort; recently made to treasunt grain from the interior of North America to the come" The articles which are relied upon to have produced this effect appeared on the 7th and the 19th of October, neither of which had erect reached the United States when the last mail left ! It is, therefore, not easy to understand how they could here sup e rinduced to those events which, by the end of October, convinced our contemporary of his pre vious errors.—Economist. A SITE FOR THE WELLINGTON STATUE.—So, th,sas to the honest opinion expressed by your taper, and despite the weathercock Tise.s, the statue is to come down, to be placed wheresover tt shall please heaven or the winds, or "the Competent p erson s,. fee heaven's sake do try to make them plane it in some open space, as far renewed as possible from sumitinditur houses or build ings (why not the centre of Hyde-park) ; certainly not on the Parade, where it will have the appearance of looking over the llorseq.mardi —just as it appeared to be peepin; into the garret windows upon as progress down !'ark-lane.

'DIE SMITHFIELD NUISANCE. —On Blaekfriars bridge, in the early part of the morning, a young child named Elizabeth Drawbridge, whilst in the act of crowing the carriage way, was knocked down by an ox proceeding towards Smithfield, was trampled upon and gored. She was conveyed in a hopeless condition to the residence of her parents.—ln the market, between three and four o'clock, a young married woman residing at No. 10, Green-street, Friar-street, Blackfriars-road, named Tailor, was run against end knocked down by oxen. She sustained such injuries, that her recovery is not expected. She was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital.—Shortly afterwards, in the Blackfriars-road, a child named Wade, crossing the road, was tossed by an ox coming from the market, endangering the child's life.—Mary Ann Binical, a married woman, residing at 30, Geswell-street-road, while crossing Earring don-street, was ran over by no less than four beasts, and severely wounded. BEET-ROOT BREAD.—A baker of Vienna has made a discovery, which, at the present moment, may prove of high importance—the nee of beet-root in making breed. Two loaves, one consisting of one-half, the other of five-eighths beet root, the remainder being of wheat flour, were sent for the inspection of the Minister of Agriculture and of Commerce. The loaves were baked ou the 30th October, and on the 20th November retained all the taste and appearance of a good household bread. The bread is made in the usual manner, only with less water and a little More salt. The beet-root must be grated at the moment of making use of it. The Austrian Minister has ordered different experiments to be made, which, however, it is easy for any person to do themselves. THE SEWAGE COMPANY AND T/IE CITY AUTTIO- UtTtEs.—Sir: Having been for some years engaged, how ever humbly, in attempting the improvement of the sanatory condition of the people, by advocating all practicable mea sures for the removal of nuisances, I beg, through your valuable journal to inform your correspondent, " A Constant Reader," as he is evidently unacquainted with the real case from which he furnished the public with a sort of ex parte statement, that the reason why " the anti-improvement authorities," ai,be was pleased to style the City Navigation Committee, refused to allow the Metropolitan Sewage Manure Company to lay down their pipes and mains along the "banks" and "bed" of the river, was, first, because, after a careful examination of the plans and estimates of the company, the committee were unanimously of opinion that they would be much to blame, to say the least of it, in sanctioning any project, the plan for effecting which they believed to be not only quite impracticable, but totally in adequate, to the objects sought to be attained. Secondly: Because the recommendation of the " select " committee to lay the pipes along the " river banks or bed," was in direct opposition to the evidence adduced before them, which was to the effect, that leakage was of "rare occurrence," when the pipes (water) were laid down in "hard, solid read," and of course the opposite result followed the laying them down in soft and uncertain ground. This flagrant error haring passed apparently unnoticed they, on public grounds alone, interposed to prevent the al ready much-neglected inhabitants of the locality under their jurisdiction, being subjected to an unnecessary and dangerous annoyance. Your correspondent laid much stress upon the " recommendation of the legsislature." But of whom was the select committee who made that recommen dation composed ? Amongst them were three promoters tad one registered promoter, of this particular company, who took good care to be present at nearly all the sitttings of the committee, which a reference to the minutes of evidence will substantiate. It does not, therefore, follow, because this particular company, recommended as it was, did receive, after sundry heir-breadth escapes, the sanction of the legis lature, that the plan must of necessity be a practicable one. —A. T. B. ACCIDENT TO VISCOUNT CLIFDEN. —Yesterday . , between one and two o'clock, the following accident occurred to Viscount Clifden, the son of Lady Dover, and nephew to the Duchess of Sutherland. He was mounted on a high- Spirited horse, and in the act of crossing the Richmond Rail way bridge, in Roehampton-lane, when the animal reared, frightened, as it is said, at a timber carriage, and placing his fore feet upon the parapet, threw his lordship on to the line, and literally across the metal. His lordship was speedily rescued from his perilous position, and conveyed with nil doe alacrity to the residence of Lady Dover, at Roehampton. ACCIDENT FROM GUN COTTON.—On Sunday even ing, James Richardson, a young gentleman residing in Bcs borough-terrace, Pimlico, and several other young men, were ie the kitchen trying experiments with gun cotton ; a can dle fell on the cotton, which instantly exploded, blowing out the windows, and when a light was procured, Richardson was found lying on the floor, with his face much injured, sad his right eye totally dest royed. The other parties pre sent were more frightened than hurt. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN CLERKENWELL.— About two o'clock this morning, a fire of the most terrific and de structive nature broke out upon the extensive tallow melting factory of Messrs. Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell. The discovery was not made until several minutes after the mt,hwalc, consequently the flames had obtained a feat hold, and before the engines arrived, the entire building . was en 'eloped, with the devouring element . The first engine upon he spot was front the Far ringdon-street station, which was tuickly followed by nine others, but through a scarcity of 'stir, they could not all be worked. By about an hour after the outbreak, the firemen succeeded in arresting the Abort buildingPrss of the flames, but not before the About 6 o'cloc and contents were wholly consumed. this morning, a dense body of smoke vas observed issuing from part of the ruins, and scarcely ' M I the discovery been made before it burst into flames • It pis▪ s however s oon ex ti ngu i s h e d .

On the morning of the 26th ult., the vessel was l ing off Shadwell, and was about l eav i ng the river. The ' deceased was ordered to let go the ropes, and was walking along the side of the ballast lighter for that purpose. when his foot sli n' t and t o fell into th: river and was aroerned. His body was not recovered until Sunday morning. Verdict, "Found drowned."-- DEATH FROM BEING BUN OVER.—By Mr. W. Payne, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital; on the body of Caroline Thomas, aged 30, the wife of a copper-plate printer, living at Dorring. ton-street, Leather-lane, Holborn. About 11 o'clock on Friday morning deceased was crossing Ray-street, Clerken well, when she was knocked down by a horse in a van be longing to Mr. Syrett, Glarahouse-street, St. Luke's, which was loaded with furniture, aad falling against the fore off wheel, it became " scotched" or fixed, and pushed her along the ground a distance of twenty yards, before the horse was stopped, when she was extricated and conveyed to the hos pital, where life was found to be extinct; her death, on a post-martens examination being made, having resulted from fracture of the liver and spleen. Several versions of the occurrence were given, some impaling furious driving and great culpability to the driver, whsle others exonerated him from all blame, and the latter preponderating, a verdict was returned of " Accidental death," the driver receiving a warning from the coroner to be more cautious in future.--.. ANOTHER DEATH BY FIRE.—By Mr. Baker, at the Earl Grey, Mile-end-road, concerning the death of Edward Kendall, aged two years. Oa Thursday evening deceased was left in charge of his cousin, a girl about ten years of age. The girl left deceased by himself' for a few moments, and during her temporary absence, his clothes caught fire. His screams brought her to his assistance, and she extinguished the flames, as she supposed. Directly afterwards the fire, which had been smouldering in the child's linen, suddenly burst forth, and before any one could render any assistance, the poor child was in one mass of fire. He wax burned in a most shocking manner, and died on Sunday. Verdict, "Accidental Death." The corcner severely admonished the mother for her neglect.— DEATH FROM A BOAT CTSETTINO.—By W. Carter, Esq., the coroner for East Surrey, at the Bull Inn, Barns -terrace, to investigate the circumstances connected with the death of Mr. G. R. Sharp. aged 19, a student at the College of Civil Engineers, at Putney, who was drowned on Friday • last. Little snore than two years since, a brother of the deceased, also a student at the College of Civil Engineers, lost his life by drowning near the same spot and under almost similar circumstances. A third brother also lost his life by drowning, in the East Indies, five years since. The deceased was (with the exception of a sister) the sole sur viving member of a highly respectable family. He was a young gentleman of great promise, and would, in a few months, have left the college for Cambridge. David Breegore, a waterman, proved, that on Friday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, he was at the White Hart, Barnes' -terrace, when hearing that a cutter had been swamped off the Bull Inn, he launched a boat, and rowed to the spot ; he saw eight gentlemen onthe Middlesex shore, and in the river a cutter turned bottom upwards. Wit ness took out the drags and searched for the body, which was not found till the following day. Deceased had on a heavy pea jacket Witness had kuown him for two years, and considered him an excellent amateur waterman.—Mr. W. HaMen a student in the college, deposed that on Friday afternoon last, the deceased, witness, and seven students went up the river in an eight-oared cutter. They hired the cutter from Searle'w, at Putney...She was called the " Black Prince," and was above 60 feet in length. She was not a wager boat or " out-rigger;" she was about four feet wide at " midships." They proceeded up the river, the tide being in their favour, in comparatively . still water, until they reached Chiswick Ait, when the river began to as.stime a rough appearance. They kept c:nse in the Surrey shore, until they reached Barnes-terrace, when the deceased, who was cockswain, steered for the opposite shore, the invariable course adopted by watermen. The cutter had made three parts across the river, when some waves met her on her quarter, and she instantly filled. They were all immersed ' and began to make for the shore ; he (witness) swimming by the aide of deceased for some distance. He had previously given deceased an oar to assist him, which he let go shortly afterwards. Witness, seeing that the boat had turned bottom upwards, made for it, and on reaching the boat turned round, and saw deceased sinking when near to the shore. Witness considered he sank from exhaustion. He never mole again or called for assistance. The wind was blowing strongly from the south-west, but we had no fear .of the boat living. We were all used to the water, and had rowed in thi regattas. We were all perfectly sober and steady, and had often used the boat before. By a juror Have you permission of the principal of the College as to when you go out ?—Witness When we have no tasks, we can go where we like. This evidence having been cor roborated, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidentally drowned," and that not the slightest blame attached itself to any person.—DEATH FROM A FAt.L.—By Mr. W. H. Payne, at Guy's Hospital, on the body of Timothy Hen nessy, aged 23. On Saturday morning last the deceased was walking along a plank at a atone-wharf in the Waterloo. road, having been engaged in raising some river gravel, when he suddenly slipped on one side, and fell from a height of above twenty feet, sustaining such injuries as to cause his death in the above hospital the day after. Verdict —" Accidental death." THE OLDBURY COAL-MINE EXPLOSION. DUDLICY, MONDAY EVENING.—The inquiry into the particulars of the accident was resumed hero to-day, before W. Robinson, Esq., the coroner for this division of the district, in which several of the bodies are lying. The following are the most important features in the additional evidence adduced:—Holland, the son of the " buttio " (de ceased), stated that he (1 , 1 not know how long it was since the air-headings had been cleaned out; and one of the jurors observed that much would depend upon this ; that he had worked at the pit two years, and be believed it to be a safe one if the air-headings were cleaned out once a month. The witness further said, that he never remembered the air-head ings being cleaned out : they had certainly not been cleaned for the last 4 months.—Edw. Foley: I work in Mr. Parker's colliery ; I first went six months ago. I left the Friday before the explosion, because' was frightened at the sulphur. I observed that it existed when I first went there ; it blazed round the candle, it continued there, but was worse on the Friday I left. I dreamed a comical dream in the night, and was frightened to go. I had told the men I did not work there because of the sulphur. They said there was a great deal of it, but I did not communicate my fears either to the ground-bailiff; the "buttie," or the " doggie." I had often seen the latter usingthe safety-lamp. I intended to have gone back to the mine had it not been for the eagle sion.—A. juror observed that it could not have been sulphur which blazed round the candle, or there must have been an explosion before.—John Nathaw, a miner, at Tividale, said, I worked in Mr. Parker's colliery for five weeks; I left it twelve months ago. It was exposed to evils all the time I was there ; by evils I mean sulphur, and there was so much of this, that we have frequently been obliged to put out the lights. I have been a miner 23 years. One night while I was there it fired a little from my candle, hut no one was hurt. The mine wanted air. In my opinion the air-heading ought to have been carried to the out-rib, instead of being carried seventy yards from it in the gate-road. I frequently told the " buttie " and " doggie" this; and that we would not go to the mine every morning " brushing" away the fire-damp and sulphur. It fired the day before I went. I tried the lamp, and found that the sulphur was three or four yards thick. Holland said that as soon as certain alterations were made it would he safe enough. (By a juror.) The air-heading was never cleaned whilst I was at the mine. The general custom is not to drive the air-headings sufficiently far, on account of the coat. I never worked in any colliery in which there was so much sulphur as in Mr. Parker's. I think it is better to get the air by gate-roads, than by air-headings. Not one accident happens in a score, in collieries, but what arises from neglect. I never met with a single instance in which the air-headings were carried sufficiently far. The air headings in this colliery were worse than in any I ever saw; and I have worked in at least a dozen collieries.—.l. Shaw, a miner, said, I worked in Mr. Parker's colliery about 3 months ago. I was there about a year and three-quarters ; I have been a miner all my life. I left this colliery on account of the existence of damp and sulphur. I complained to all the men in the pit, and told Mr. Holland, the buttie, that I should be obliged to leave the pit unless there was more ven tilation; he did not make me any answer. I have seen Mr. Parker, the master, in the pit, but never complained to him. There was an explosion m this mine twelve months ago, and one man killed. I have worked in a pit five or six years without its firing. I was down this pit the day the accident happened, and consider that there would be air enough to make the works safe if every spout was kept pro perly clear. This mine was much given to sulphur when the wind was in the south-east. On examining the pit on the day of the accident I found that the spouts were completely blown down. Mr. Silas Elwell, a mine-surveyor, who had examined the pit, stated, that in the course of his observa tions, he latched "to a point where the air had been car ried across the gate-road, by a trough,. to another heading ; these were used in all collieries, but, in his opinion, they were inefficient, they being deficient in width; this one was one foot nine inches square, and carried the whole of the air into the work ; this air-heading extended about twenty yards further on, and then discharged itself into a gate-road. He considered them too narrow. Since Friday the air-headings had been cleaned, and there was a greater quantity of air in the pit in consequence. The witness gave a description of the manner in which the air passed into the workings, and stated that no air had been car ried within one hundred and twenty feet of the back of the stalls of work ; and proceeded to state, that the colliery had been worked, as usual in collieries of this de scription, both as regards the gate-roads and the air-head ings, but, in his opinion , the latter should have been carried 120 feet further. In some cases the air-headings required to be cleaned out every week in others, every month ; and, in reply to a question by a juror, he said that this acci dent might, perhaps, have been prevented, had the air headings. been cleaned out before, instead of since, it oc curred ; judging from appearances, his opinion was that there had been generally a great quantity of sulphur in the pit, but he believed it might have been worked so as to pre vent any great explosion. The air-heading was defective, in consequence of its being too narrow; further it ought to have been carried on the south-side the gate ' mod up to the back, and wider the whole dfstance ; the air-headings are almost invariably driven too narrow'; this he regarded to be injurious. In this mine it was crop work, in which there is invariably more sulphur than deep work. He thought a plan might be adopted by which the sulphur would be kept down. He believed that if the air heading had been driven far enough and higher there would ~as bee. been an exnlosion in that part of the pit; he had heading so far from the work.—The inquiry was proceeding at the time our report wu despatched. A public meeting has been held at Dudley to-day, at which it was resolved to memorial se the government to appoint mine inspectors, and adopt such other measures 1 1 2 may be necessary to protect the trees of those engaged in the perilous employment of coal-ge,,eing. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1846. IRELAND. - - DUBLIN, Nov. 22. THE CftaletitLiou's " INTAILIABLE " ROLE. The mem bers of the medical profession arc ig a state of high excite ment at the indignity offered to the healing art, a feeling in Whitt: the distillers deeply sympathise. A requisition signed by ',largo number of the physicians and surgeons of Limerick kas been issued to convene a public meetirg on the subject, I and obtain an expression of the public will. It is not likely the community will heartily respond to this call, and men would prefer to see " medicals," like all other professional men, pursue their legitimate calling. In England, the " profession" is actuated by no such lofty ambition. Sewn cut gee is there the principle. But in Ireland, where we have no true aristocracy, medical and such like gentlemen rise beyond their *neinl grade, and aspire to commissions of the peace, and such like unfitting distinctions. The Chancellor will not yield, for he feels he is right. In this course he will be the rather confirmed, inasmuch as the " practising solicitors have coma forward with their protests against the rule. PROVINCIAL COLLEOES.—The Evening Pdcket of last night states, on "good authority," that overtures have bees made by the government to the heads of the University re lat:ve to some arrangement whereby the Provincial Colleges may be brought into closer connection with the University. It is not stated how the proposition has been received by the board, but it is not improbable, whether the union take place now or hereafter, that the old and new systems will be brought into harmony. The heals of the old body are not ill-disposed or illiberal. MR. MORGAN JOHN OTONNELL.—The rumour that this gentleman hadbeen appointed a Poor-law Commissioner, and that he was immediately about to undertake the Irish business of the commission, is entirely without foundation. There is not any vacancy at present, and there will not be, at least before parliament assembles. Of course, therefore, there can be no vacancy in the representation of Kerry. GIALWAT RELIEF COMMITTEE.—CONDUCT OF A LAND LORD.—Mr. Nicholas Lynch, of Barna, chairman of the 1 Galway Relief Committee, has resigned that post in cense -1 quenee of some recent discussion suggested by his proceed ings in the distribution of tickets for employment on the public works. Members of the committee had observed that many of the tenants of Mr. Lynch, who held ten and twelve acres of land and who had stacks of corn in their laggards,; had yet obtained tickets entitling them to employ ment from Mr. Lynch. The committee contended that such persons were not proper objects for relief, inasmuch es they could not be considered destitute. Mr. Lynch admitted the fact, but justified his act by stating that, in every in stance, such corn as the tenants had belonged to himself, as those tenants, in every instance, owed him more rent than the corn, if sold, would produce. Parties so circum• stanced were, he contended, properly entitled to employ ment, and he was perfectly justified, therefore, in affording it to them. On the other hand, the guardians contended that the corn must be esteemed the property of the tenants, unless Mr. Lynch legally asserted his claim thereto, in which case he ought to have it removed to his own farm-yard. While the corn remained with the tenant, it was his pro perty, and he was, therefore, not destitute while he held it. Besides, the employment of such people on public works as had corn in their haggards enabled them to overhold their corn, and tended to raise the price of food in the public markets, and it manifestly placed the landlord of such a tenantry in a better position than his neighbour proprietors. as it enabled his tenantry to pay their rents to him. Senti ments in accordance with these opinions had been put for ward in the Galway Freeman newspaper, upon which Mr. Lynch declared that unless the committee should come to a resolution declaratory of the propriety of his procedure, he would resign his position as chairman and as a member of the committee. The committee, however, agreed to a resolution declaring the facts respecting Mr, Lynch's tenantry, above stated, to be true, and the comments made upon them, which were very strong, to be just. Mr. Lynch forthwith resigned his office of chairman, and left the committee. THE J vitt' Svarem.—The evil practices brought to light in the trial of the Belfast combinntors in the p , tty jury sys tem, have been strongly brought under the notice of the government. It is said, in consequence, that a searching in quiry will be institu'ed relative to the preparation of the jury lilts, which will lead to the further result of a general revision of the jury laws, a system which amply requires supervision and purgation. Lim ERICK. —The Society of Friends arc in treaty for the Mona de Plate, to establish soup kitchens. They are to com mence this week. The consumption of Indian meal has decreased fifty per cent. in Cork, eince the opening of the soup depots by the same benevolent body. AVERAGE Cost OF PAUPER MAINTENANCE.—ITI Bel fast the average cost of each individual is le. 81(1. ; in Lime rick, ls. 11(1. ; same in Ennis; and in Newcastle, 2s. COMEINATION.—The Limerick Chronicle says the Alban steam-ship, Commander Bradshaw ' arrived this morning at the quay with the wreck of the Swallow from Askeaton ' river. Owing to the combination existing between labourers belonging to the Askeaton district, the muster and crew of the Swallow steamer last week had failed in the attempt to get off that stranded vessel.—We are credibly informed that the last effort made would have proved successful, were it not for 250 labourers employed, having struck for ss. a-day each, at this very moment that united exertion upon the purchase , then brought to hear was certain to glide the Swallow from the bank Into the Shannon. THE LATE GALES.—The Limerick Chronicle says, Fri day morning, at 7 a.m., the schooner Kate, of St. Ives, sailed from Tarbert fur Tralee, with the schooner Sea Lark, and screw steamer Senator, also fur Tralee. They were over taken off Loop-head by the storm, when the Kate; came to for shelter off Kileredane, end there lest both anchor, wind lass, and cables. The Sea Lark, in putting back, was seen to disappear immediately off Loop-head, and is supposed to have foundered with all hands. 'f lie Senator, in ruuning back, was driven into Ballybunnion bay, dashed ashore, and it is feared will become a wreck. The gale was reported one of the severest ever experienced in the river or on the coast The Kate is since come up safe to the quays. Captain Bowler, of the Energy, reports having passed a ship water logged, and deserted—the word " Hero" on her stern. SCOTLAND. TILE FREE CIIDRCII AND EDUCATION.—The compact or gauisation of the Free Church of Scotland, hitherto so remarkable in practice, threateus to be materially affected by the demon of politics. At the late Edinburgh election it is well known that both Mr. Macaulay and S.r Culling Smith's election committees claimed to have the Free Church as their own, and aitheugh the election, with all its dust, has passed away, the ouistion, so far as the journalism of the body is concerned, remains as slublou,s as cwt.. The North British Review, hitherto understood as the quarterly organ of the Free Church. roundly declares (in the November number) that the Maynooth grant was not a religious question, that the government of Lord John Russell is a promising one, and significantly hints that evangelical men should at last learn wisdom and support it. The lessor expositors of the Church deny all these positrons, and wish a return to the old theory of " all fur the Church and something less fir the State." The clergy will, for the most part, oppose the Review, and the Whig lawyers will support it ; and, as to the people, it is difficult to say how they mayact. But it is not merely with " settled questions," as theßreiete calls the class represented by the Maynooth grant, that the tug of wu • -ill be fel: ; the coming topic of national education will place the two parties in a hos tile attitude. Lord John Russell has announced a ache= of education, and so has Dr. Candlish. Which is to be sup ported ? Lord John's plans are unknown, but Dr, Cand lish's have been announced. Sir Roger de Coverlet' said that " Church work was slow," but now it is " State work that is slow," for the clerical leader out-distances his politi cal competitor. A school for every church, model schools in every district, grammar schools in every large town, normal colleges in Edinburgh and Glasgow—such is Dr. Candlish's programme, and already he has commenced agitation in the =, and opened his coffers far the receipt of supplies. chers are to be supported by a " sustentation" fund, Mannar to the clerical one; and it, in anticipation of the whole, has been in operation for some months. It is action with the Edinburgh Baines, not statistics, and therefore he will prove a more formidable enemy than the Leeds oppo nent of Government. " The bruit goeth it shrewdly," that the Whig lawyers in the Free Church will declare for Rus sell—but they will not likely be able to carry the Church courts with them. The levelling of the parish schools may propitiate the Free Churchmen, but proportionally will kr tate Established Churchmen, and thereon bangs a difficulty. Lord John will, in England, find thorns under the rose, but in Scotland the thistle will be found redolent with prickly spear, like quills on the fretful porcupine. Swoon's:co.—An illicit trade in commoditiescharged with high duties is at present carried on to a great extent on the western coasts of Ireland and the Highlands. Contraband agents are perambulating the country and disposing of the illegal importations, which are disposed of much to the disadvantage of the regular traders. Glasgow, it is said, is the head quarters of the smugglers and a ready market it is found to be for disposing of any thing that may be illegally imported. Sr. ANDREW'S UstrvEastry.--The Senatus Academicus of the - University of St. Andrew's have unanimously con ferred the degree of LL.D. on Lord Campbell, formerly an alumnus of that University. GLASGOW.—An intelligent correspondent sacs: "There never was a period in my recollection when party feelings were so much in the back-ground as at present Peel is about as great a favourite among liberals as Russell; and the latter is not very strongly opposed by Tories. Our municipal elections under the new act are a proof of this. You are aware that one board of fifty councillors now manages the whole of the municipal and police affairs ; all the other police commisaions and local magistracies being extin guished. Previous to this election there were only one im two conservatives in the town-council. A very general. desire was felt that it should be otherwise in the new, and accordingly there are now some twelve or fourteen. Dill seaters prevail as before. Our new provost, Mr. Hut* like Mr. Black in Edinburgh, is the first dissenting provost. But religious considerations were entirely lost sight of in the election. Both our present members it is expected, will stand again when there is a parliamentary election, and if they do, any opposition if offered, will be hopeless." STIRLING B1:80118.—The latest notice of the canvas is this district is contained in the following communication from respectable source " None of the candidates are entirely to my mind. On the whole, I have a notion that Mr. Alison has the best chance of the three. Captain Spier has already been In parliament, and voted well, besides being active on the liberal interest in this part of Scotland. But he withdrew ' ' penes, and I am not aware that his circumstances have bet tcred since. Mr. Smith is too Par off. Mr. Alison is princi pally known for his rapid acquisition of wealth as an iron master, and his strong free-kirk predilection." STEWARTRY or KIRECUDBRIGHT.—ft is the general understanding that the Solicitor-General will not again come forward for the county. Bargallie is spoken of as his suc cessor. There is, however, a strong feeling in favour of Mr. Constable Maxwell The conservatives have not made any appearance at the late registrations. They are understood to admit that they have no chance. Feeling their inability to return a man of their own party, the more liberal among them express much regret that they he;;, not acquiesced in Mr. Maxweh's election. They :.:O ashamed of the bigoted spirit that Wed evoked to drive him from the field on account of his being a Roman Catholic. The liberal leaders, also, feel that ebullition of intolerance as a disgrace on the Stewart . ry. Mr. Maxwell, too, has won golden opinions of all parties by the business-talent and application he showed in the local railway movements last session, " There is no doubt," says a correspondent, "a deep spirit of Presby terian intolerance in the Stewartry ; Cameronianism and Catholicism are here in close contact : still think if the Liberal party and the independent C onserva ti v e s ( a power ful body) were to unite it could be overcome in Mr. Max well's favour." EALILIRIL BURGHS.—The Tories have been very active at the registrations in this district. Mr. Wilson has the character —justly or unjustly we know not—of being a " despotic liberal," and many of his own party express little regret at the result. If Lord Lincoln chooses to stand again he will be returned with ease. SHETLAND.—AR active canvass is in progress against the sitting member, who has given dissatisfacti on t o man y by hi s inattention to l ocal business, ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH ...LICH GLAEGOW RAILWAY. —As the seven o'clock train from Edin burgh was proceeding at a rapid rate near Winchburgh, on Friday night, the engine was thrown off the rails, and a number of the carriages overturned. The passengers, engine-driver ca , and stoker, though very much al arme d, for tunately escaped with their lives. It appears that, from the late rains, the bank at one of the deep cuttings in that neighbourhood had given way, and a quantity of rock and earth had fallen across the rails, thereby causing the acci dent. The engine was disabled, and both lines of rails blocked up. An engine had to be go,. from Edinburgh, when the line had been partially cleared, and the train enabled to proceed to Glasgow, where it arrived about twelve o'clock, nearly three hours beyond its usual time. WALES. THE WELSH EDrCATION Ft*ND recently set on foot by the Incorporated National Society, amounts at present to upwards of 2,200/., in annual subscriptions, while donations ts nearly SUOI. have been promised. It is intended by the committee, which consists of noblemen and gentlemen con nected with the principality, as well as members of the National Society, forthwith to publish the returns of schools in each parish of Wales and the county of Monmouth, and to adopt measures for establishing institutions far training teachers in North and South Wales. In addition to this, the committee contemplate the establishment throughout the country of diocesan boards of education, as in England, in order that duly qualified teachers may be provided, and a fund will be raised fur aiding the efficient annual main tenance of elementary schools during such a period as may be necessary. Sir Thomas Phillips has accented the office of honorary secretary to the committee. PROVINCIAL, LANCIBIIIItE. E [PLOSION OF ♦ STEAM-ENGINE.—OR Friday after noon last, a locomotive steam-engine employed in the con veyance of earth to fill up a valley on the Blackburn, Dar wen, and Bolton Railway, at Over Damen, exploded from being overcharged with steam, and the engine-man, a per son of the name of Heaviside, was thrown sixty yards in the air. When he alighted he was of course dead; his features were hcrribly disfigured, and could scarcely be recognised. The stoker was at a distance, but was much scalded. A DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY WAS MADE IN LIVERPOOL ON FRIDAY, In the middle of the day a lad who was carrying his master's cash box into a court devoted to offices branching out of Chapel-street, was knocked down by a fellow with a bludgeon, who ran off with the cash box. He was pursued by a crowd of nenrly 300 persons, yet strange to say (dropping the stick and box), he escaped. the poor lad remains seriously ill. CAPTURE OP BUROLARYI,—LIVERPOOL, MONDAT.—TO day, four men, George Martin, John Wright, Miles Fits morris, and James Davis, were brought before Mr. Rushton, charged with burglariously entering the spirit vaults of Mr. James Tracy, corner of Leigh-street, Parker-street. Two decanters of wine had been drunk. Nothing else was missing. Mary Ann Kirby, a servant, said she was going to bed between twelve and one o'clock, and saw four men (whom she could not identify) standing at the front-door of Mr. Tracy's vaults. Two of them appeared to open the lock and went in, while the other two walked about for a while, and then turned up Leigh-street, towards the back-yard. Sho caused information to be' given to the police, and Inspector Savage mustering five men, so arranged them as to render escape impossible. Davis was found under a table in the Feathers Hotel, to which he had gained access from a window in the back yard; said the other three prisoners were arrested in the vaults. Several chisels were found, and it was discovered that an attempt had been made to break through the wall into a watchmaker's shop. The prisoners were committed for trial at the cessio s, WABWICKSIImE. EsTA lILISHMLNT or INFANT SCHOOLS AT BIliM !NON AIL —A public meeting was held in the Music Hall, at Bir mingham, on Friday evening, for the purpose of promoting the establishment of Infant Schools in that borough, smiler the care of the parochial clergy, but open to eke younger children of all without distinction. Lord Calthorpe occupied the chair. G. F. Munlz, Esq., M.P.; R. Spooner, Esq., ; the Hon. Frederick Gough, and numerous other in fluential gentlemen were present. Letters of apology for absence, and expressive of cordial concurrence in the objects of the meeting, were read from Earl Howe (who promised a site for the building., and intimated that her Majesty the Queen Dowager would give a donation of 500, the Earl of Dartmouth, Lord Lyttelton, the Bishop of Worcester, C. N. Newdegate, Esq., M.P., and others.—The noble chairman, in the course of en able speech, cbscrved, that in a great and populous town like Birmingham, the advantages arising from Infant School' were likely to be very considerable, because it frequently happened that the children were sent at a very early age into the manufactories ; and his lordship strongly repro bated the conduct of those pasties who spoke of the tenden cies of manufactures as an incurable evil. Ile attached much importance to these schools in influencing the tone of society through their parents, inasmuch as he could not doubt that in many cases parental affection had drunk in from the lips of children lessons of reproof, which awakened their conscience, and perhaps reformed their lives.—Mr. Muntz, M.P., also ' , poke iu favour of the establishment of these schools. He had opposed (he said) the government scheme of education introduced two years ago, because he believed it to be too sectarian, and he would not have stood there that evening had he not been assured that the advan tages' these schools were intended to confer should not be held out only to children whose parents belong ed to one particular church or party. He consi dered the first lessons taught as exercising the most important effects on after life. Not only so, but he found the man who could read and write, and think for himself, always asade the beet and moat trustworthy servant. He expressed his regret that the state of education in the country was insufficient, and declared his concurrence with any movement where sympathy was elicited for the poor. The Rev. J. Garbett pointed to the beneficial results erasing from the establishment of these schools by the guardians in Birmingham tweets years ago.—ne Hon. F. Gough re marked on the painful fact, that in Birmingham, which was comparatively well attended to in this respect, no fewer than 7,000 children were without the means of education.—Many I other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and at the conclu sion subscriptions were announced, amounting to nearly 1,0001. GLOrCESTERSIDRE. Tots LATE GALES.—BRISTOL, Nov, 23.—A vessel be longing to :London, celled the Durango, front Alexandria, Orbottle, master, was towed into Rin,groad this morning by a pilot-boat, by which she was fallen in with in a disabled state. She has suffered meet severely front the effects of the late tempestuous weather, sod, had she not been picked up, must probably have drifted on shore. Her mainmast, mizen-mast, and foreyard are gore, and she has last all, or nearly all, her sails. She was Wand for the port et Glou cester; but I hare been unable to ascertain the nature of her cargo, or who are her consignees. Intelligence has like wise been received at our commercial rooms, of a schooner called the Union, laden with oats and barley, and bound for this port, having gone ashore in Angle Bay. She has also sus tained much injury from the effects of the late gale; and Lloyd's agent is of opinion that it will be found necessary, before she can be got off again, to get out the whole of her cargo. 'Rusk. SPOITIt's SECOND QUINTETTO for the Pianoforte, two Violins, Viola, and Violoncello. 0p.130. Wessel & Co.— Since the death of Beethoven, who, in every branch of music to which he applied his mighty genius, put comparison with any one else out of the question, and the more recent death of the illustrious Cherubini—Spohr and Mendelssohn have divided between them the undisputed supremacy of the musical Parnassus. They may be regarded as rivals ; but it is a rivalry consistent with affectionate personal friendship : and no other living musician can enter into competi tion with either of their. In the class of concerted chamber music for instruments, °aglow stands next to them, but at a very considerable distance. Many of li Quintets for stringed instruments (a form of composition to which he has especially devoted himself) are deservedly in high favour both among professional performers and ama teurs. They are exquisitely finished and full of delicate touches and beautiful traits of melody and harmony; but their beauties are chiefly those of detail. They are like large pictures finished with the nicety of miniatures, but deficient is grandeur of outline, and in breadth and force of colour., In these respects, as well as in boldness and originality of thought, both S pohr and Mendelssohn are greatly his sups- riots. Spohr (as is well known) before he became one of the greatest of Handel's successors in the oratorio, was the most accomplished violinist of his time ; and ds concertos, quartets, &c., for that instrument, have been well known for many years. It is only recently that he has begun to com pose for the pianoforte ,• but the few works he has produced for it show a thorough knowledge of its powers and effects. His second Quintet for the pianoforte and stringed instru ments, now before us, is his very latest work, and has just been published in London from the original German score ; the London edition being, of course, printed in separate parts. We have examined it with a degree of satisfaction which is enhanced by finding that, while it displays all the . . mileh hotti.r lialelthated for general use than many of Ns greykos work'. Our amateurs, both male and female, ME rapidly improving in instrumental performance. By means of the many concerts expressly dedicated to classical chamber music, they are learning to know and to love the highest and purest pro ductions of the art: and it is to the influence of such concerts, whether carried on by associations of amateurs, such as the "Musical Union" and the "Beethoven Quartet Society" (formed by the late lamented Mr. Alsager), or by individual professors, that we look for the correction of much that is vitiated in the present fashionable taste. The ladies tope niftily, who frequent these concerts (and they are very numerous) are learning to estimate at their true value those displays o mere mechanical dexterity which pass at present for the highest aim and object of pianoforte playing. Any well educated lady performer, whose taste has been thus cultivated, will be able to " atiack " this quintet of Spohr ; and the innumerable , private quartet parties now to be found in every put of London, and in many provincial towns, will furnish amateurs able to execute the other parts with taste and correctness. Such performers will find it full of in terest. It commences with an allegro moderato, in D minor, the opening of which, consisting of short, abrupt, dissonant chorale , struck with great force on the pianoforte, the inter vals ,between them being filled up by soft phrases of harmony breathed by the stringed instruments, is new and impressive. This ides, mingled with a melodious second subject, is carried through the whole move ment. The scherzo which follows is less rapid, and is consequently both easier and more pleasing than such movements generally are. The adagio, in A major and in twelve-eight time, has for subject a moat beautiful and expressive strain, treated with that unity of design and variety of e ff ect of which the greatest masters only are capable. The whole terminates with • bold and vigorous finale, in the relative major of the original key. The tmpretenon produced by the • hole piece is the sense of beauty arising from smoothness and repose. The passages for all the instruments are generally kgato, round and flowing; the strong and rapid passages, occasionally introduced, tending, by the effect of contrast, to heighten the prevailing imps salon. TROISIEME NOCTURNE POUR LE PIANOFORTE; COMPOSE PAR S. THALBERO.—Though we have always been the reverse of partisans of the school which Thalberg has formed, and of which he is the head, yet we willingly render justice to his great (and, in some respects, unrivalled) powers. His own compositions are full of beauties of the very highest order. They are original both inform and sub stance; and this originality never deserts him even while clothing the ideas of others with his own harmonies and accompaniments. Under his fingers the most ordinary sub ject of Donizetti sparkles with a thousand bright and beauti ful colours which the composer himself could net even have imagined ; while the grace and expression of hie own melodies, and the depth and solidity of his counter point, are not less remarkable than his unparalleled rapidity and brilliancy of execution. For the evil which Thalberg has occasioned, he himself is not properly responsible. It is no fault of his that he has riven birth to a host of imita tors, who, with something of his manual power, but with out a tithe of his genius, have copied his faults without his beauties. Nor is it any fault of his that boarding-school girls are taught to convert into unmeaning clatter and discordant noise, music, which, in his own hands, is per fectly clear, smooth, and flowing. What we have desired of Thalberg is, that he should accommodate at least a per tion of his published music to the wants and capacities, not of professional virtuosi, hut of the best class of those who cultivate music as one of the accomplishments and charms of social life. Nobody knows better than himself that the most beautiful music is not necessarily the most difficult; and that, even in his own most brilliant compositions, the most exquisite passages are the most simple. Whenever, there fore, we meet with an entire piece from his pen, written in this style, it gives us a joy proportioned to its rarity. Such apiece is the Nocturne before us. It is his newest production, and is, we hope, the forenmner of many more of a similar kind, and by which he will more than compensate for all the mischief which, we will not say he has done, but which he has originated. It is a short andantino, fol lowed by an allegro agitato, a good deal in the manner of Mendelssohn's " Licder ohne Werte," in which a fine vocal melody, rising from a sweet and serene expres sion to a high pitch cf impassioned melancholy, is Sustained and enforced by a rich accompaniment. At first sight it may frighten many amateurs, who are not at all alarmed by rattling flights of demisemiquavers, by the extreme keys in which it is written, commencing in B major (five sharps), and passing enharmonically into E flat minor (six fiats); but this is a difficulty which every pianist (even though an amateur), who has been well taught and made familiar with the scales in every key, ought to be able readily to surmount. For such players only such music fa fitted; and, thanks to improved methods of instruction, their number is increasing every day. We repeat, then, thatTlialberg, by music like this. will more than compensate for all the " sound and fury, signifying nothing," inflicted on the public under the sanction of his name. ri d e Drama. ST. JAMES'B.—Monsicnr Perlet, whose first appear ance was announced to take place last evening, was pre vented from appearing by continued indisposition. In con sequence of this, three pieces were subgititteil, in all which Mademoiselle Bmhan performed. These were one-act trifles, Le Roman dune Henry, and Les Rivaux d'eux-menu 5, followed by the three-act comedy, Le Bonhomme Richard; a piece which, after the impression it made upon us on Frday evening, we were by no means tempted to sit out a second time. M. Pcr/et's illness, of course, greatly embar rasses the manager; for, though Mlle. Brohan is admirable in her own walk, yet it is a limited and subordinate one, and does not enable her to shine alone, a " bright, par ticular star." We hope that matters will be set to rights by the admirable comedian's speedy . recovery. n °Li 'lr.—Another phasic of the conspiracy that scents going en at the theatres against Shakspeare was de veloped here last night, in the form of Jack Cade, a melo dramatic sketch, or whatever it is called, from Maks peo#e's Henry 1 . 1. As there is no particular political ex citement on foot just now, so as to make " Jack Cade" a eireonstance, we are at a loss to imagine what can have induced the manager to sanction the abortion, unless, I indeed, by way of a joke. In this ease, the notion was a • decided hit, for the audience laughed consumedly well nigh throughout. It is, however, precisely the ludicrous point of view in which a work bearing the name of William Shake peare is thus presented to the mind of en audience that we object to. It appears to us a clear grievance that Shaks peare should, whether by barbarous mutilations of his text, or by the absurd inefficiency of its embodiers, be held up, we will not say to the contempt, butt to the diminished respect of any but playgoers. For we ca nnot conceive but that persons, not thoroughly conversant with the written words of Shakspeare, and not 'wholly iml mod consequently with unalterable venerationforhien, must, after, for instance, seeing Macbeth," as he appears just no wat the Surrey, or" Jack Cade," as he is presented at the C dympie, go home with some doubts on the subject. Such is imp art ' to our notion, infinitely worse than specific buries lue, which, in deed, except in cases where the work traces tied is in itself absurd, produce no effect beyond the passin g . laugh at the humour of the jester. As to the manner in which this . " Jack Cade " got up, the scenery is mitre' aely good, and Mr. Maynard surprised us by his very fair to stment of the principal character. His last scene was quite e ffective. His indeed was the only portion of the affair which . lid not afford food for mirth. The rest was wholly laughable. SADLER'S WELL?. Otway's tragedy, " Venice Preserved," was performed at this theatre last n. 'fflit. This tragedy, by far the best of its unfortunate autht r 's, has its dramatic defects ; but several of its scenes are so s Cective— its pathos is so touching, that it is not surprisi it still maintains its place as a theatrical favourite. In " Venice Preserved" the only character that stands prominen ti y . for ward is that of Belvidera ; not only is she the pro., unent character, but she stands alone of her Rex. Her repre 'ag ai ve last night was Miss Laura Addison, and if her mp `rso., ration was not complete, it was natural and finished. , Ole character is not, we should think, one of great histriot tic difficulty. Nothing rigidly severe or terribly appalling it demanded. Pathos is the pervading characteristic o the play, and a just display of the emotions, as distin guished from the passions, though often difficult of attainment, is not the highest reach of art. Miss Addison was eminently pathetic. The scene in which she successfully endeavours to recall JafTer to his duty to his country and to her, and that in which she makes her proud father relent, though too late, were well conceived and truly rendered. She exaggerated, perhaps, a little when Jairser takes leave of her " for ever." She has a peculiarity of pronouncing some of the vowels very broadly, and a slight mannerism, which time may be expected to eradicate. Mr. Creswick was effective as i'ierre, and Mr. Marston, as Jafreor, gave a tolerable portrait of a very difficult and in consistent character. The other characters were of the ordi nary level. The house was well filled. AND CLERICAL NEWS.

The notice of the application was headed merely " in the matter of the petition of right," and not " in the cause of Monckton v. The Attorney General." Kr. Anstey then asked that the communes be
