THE LORD ADIFOCATS of SCOTLAND ON THE NDUCATi'ON MINIMA On Saturday (ear the Edinburgh Angriest) a deputation from the Pam Church Teachers' Associetion had an interview with the Lord Advocate on the subject of the menet education minute. The deputation pointed out to lie Isedship the main objectioes urged agains . t the revised code, refemeg particularly, at hie lordship s request, so the subject of the breach of faith. This pave charge, they Mated, they preferred, Dot against parhatneut, bat against the educatioeal commit- Me of Privy Council. They have all along bees .lire to the feet that parliament could at any lime withdraw the grants. This temporary character of the scheme does not, they conceive, touch the question at Wee. The teachers have gone on the assumption acknow ledged on almost all bands to be quite sound that so long mparliament continues to (enlist§ the funds, the Privy Council ie bound to unplemeut engagements, on the faith of the permanency of which men became teachers and in. coned obligationa of various kinds. rhea, engagements are, io the revised oode, almost Al repudiated. Hence the charge of brea th of faith. His lordship stated that aa the education minute had enumated from a government de ointment its could sot be expected to give any opinion on its merits. He was aware that it was thought in many quarters that it would beer hardly on Scotch school masters. As the Privy Council system had Dever hese particularly well fitted for Scotland, as it was only temporary, sad as it was, moreover, a spendthrift system, his own opinion was that the time was now coins when it might be dispensed with here Altogether. The universities had been opened up; so, substantially, had the pariah schools, and ffiairefore the way was much clearer for a national system. There were, however, still difficulties to be imeountered. There was, fur instance, the financial one— how to supply the void caused by the withdrawal of volun tary contributioos ; and there woe also the much more de juertion of the management of schools. His lordship and believed that the difficulties, though great, were not insurniounteble ; and sboukl he me km way to introduce • measure, be 'hoped to have the medlar and effective support of the iatelligent classes of the cornniu oily. After thanking hie lookbip for Isis courtesy, and expressing the hope that be would introduce and be able to curry an acceptable educational measure, the deputation withdrew. Drava or P.G.M.

He will be detained here until the arrival of a detective from Loudon. THE SWEDISH EXPEDITION TO SPITZ BERGEN. (esor • oosansroesin..) NORWAY, Nov. 14. Some short time ago the scientific meeting at the University of Chriatianie was attended by Mr. Toreil, the chief of the Swedish expeditiou to Spitsbergen, et which be gave a brief but interest ing account of his experiences off that coast. It may perhaps be remembered that two vessels, the dEulus and Magdalena, left Tromso, iu Fin ruarkeu' on May 9, on a scientific excursion to Spitihergeu, having on board many eminent and learned gentlemen. The intention of the expedition was to take observations, correct the old charts, col lect geological, zoological, and other specimens, and take meteorological and other observations which weld be of interest to the scientific world. Owing to a prevailing north wind and the quantities of drift ice the vessels encountered, it was not till the 21st that they sighted Spitz bargee, and on the following day cast anchor in Oubb Bay, Danes Island, lat. 79.40 and lou. 10.45 east. On the 30th the expedition proceeded to Trenreuborg Bay, where they anchored Juue 7, in lat. 79.56.6 and lon. 0.16.38 east. It had been arranged to melte sledge excursions, dogs, &c., having been provided fur that purpose at Tromso ; but it was found that the state of the ice would not admit of this project being carried out. In the sun the therunaneterstood at 14 dog. warmth, and 7 deg. in the shade. This was unfortunate, as it pre cluded the possibility of many observations, ec., being taken. The ships now parted company, the 2Eolus re maining on the northern coast, while the Magda less explored the western parts. During their stay in these northern latitudes they were able to ascertain many points astronomically the old charts were corrected, and new harbours discovered. They met with some Norwegian sealing vessels which had been blocked up by the ice. From the discovery of a West Indian plant (Mimosa seandens), and from finding several bottles and also drift timber, it is placed beyond a doubt that the Gulf stream impinges on the coast of Spitsbergen. Moreover, they kept a journal of meteorological and magnetic observa tions which will be of great interest, and which doubtless in time will be laid before the world. Numerous drawings and photographs of the coast were taken. Also with reference to the diffusion of animal life and vegetable life at the depths of the ocean, many interesting experiments were made, molluscs, shell fish, and zoophytes being found at depths of 2,500 metres. the geological and botanical specimens that have been collected are said to be extremely curi ous. During their stay they succeeded in killing several Polar bears and walruses. Owing to the quantities of pack ice they were unfortunately un. able to extend their researches and explorations so far south as they bad intended ; still altogether the 'expedition has been eminently successful, and the results cannot fail to prove of great interest to the scientific world. The ships arrived at Tromati safely on the 25th September; all were in perfect health and excellent spirits, having escaped any attacks of scurvy. They encountered many storms and met with much thick weather, and had moreover one ar two narrow escapes from the ice. Petersen, the Dane, who as oompanied M'Clintock, and who has made so many voyages to the northern waters, accompanied the expedition. UPROAR FROM PARIS. (PLOY ova OWN CORIIEMPONDM.) PAR,h3, SUNDAY EVININO. All doubt about the immediate abolition of the entrance fee to the Bourse is removed by the ap pearance in the Momiteur of an imperial decree, countersigned by M. de Persiguy, repealing the decree by virtue of which the city of Paris was em powered to levy the tax five years ego. I passed by the Bourse this afternoon, and saw workmen bodily taking away the turnstiles. The Consfitu tamed 'ordains some curium confesidous as to the motives which led to the impost, and the disap pointing results of it. The object was to check the feverish speculation which all dame* of Parisian I society indulged iu for some time previous to 1856. The crowd at the Bourne became so great that the broken and their clerks often found it physically impossible to communicate with their clients. It was fancied that if a small entrance fee were este blislied it would be no consideration to merchants, capitalists, and private individuals with means, but would have the effect of excluding a host of small gamblers. , Experience seems to have shown, how rm, that if the latter class do not now frequent the Bourse, it is not di' franc entrance bibriey which keeps them away so much as the abolition of those small securities, going down as low as 25fr., and even Mr. the share, which working men need to gamble in and pass from hand to band, within the precincts of the Bourse. Now compa nies ems emernandife can issue nothing leas than 500 fr. shares. But it has been found that well-to do people who used to lounge into the Bourse as into a club-house where they might meet their friends, fell away from it when the fee was im posed. litany people shrunk from taking an an nual ticket still more than from paying a franc at the doors, for the reason that inscribing their names would be like asking the Prefect of the Seine for a license to gamble. The respectable part of the public was kept unt, the professional gamblers had the field all to themselves, and the brokers, in despair at the loss of numerous clients, gave theme gamblers more encouragement than be fore. The Comeittitionnel, now that the tax is removed, finds out that it was seriously unconsti tutional, since it prevented the free transfer of the public funds, which is the emeuce of the con tract made by the state with the public. The en trance fee produced a revenue to the city of about flo9,ooofr. Some time ago the syndicate of the Bourse would gladly have bought off the tax for a large sum, but I beer nothing said now about cent pensation. The decree in the Moniker seems to be one of simple repeal. The Patric takos credit to itself for having long opposed the lir. fee, and says it shall nuw strenuously advocate the repeal of the tax (dating only from June 23, 1857) upon the transfer of ne gotiable securities, which impost is a serious hin drance to transactions. The expectation, referred to by the Sieck , that this, (lay the anniversary of November 24, lila, would be signalised by a Aeries of liberal measures in the Munitcur, has not been realised. It seems that the Aftmiteur was deceived when it annownsed the arms& of the murderer Jul The authorities at Moutelimart felt sure that they Lad got him ; the man arrested had " irregular papers," gave lame accounts of himself, and had " several broken teeth, a scar over the left eye, and a strong German accent," just like Jud. He was sent to Paris, and considerable excitement was occasioned at all the railway stations on the road, by the report that the great Jud was in custody. Unfortunately, however, when the individual arrived in Paris he was proved not to bo the long " wanted " man. PAWS, SATUILDAY Evintisa. The Patric continues to discouutenance the idea of any substantial disarmament in France. Under the head of "Latest News." it says this evening : A Touloa journal armousose that the projected dis• armament extends to the navy. This news is as untrue with respect to the envy mri to the army. The Marine Admioinuatioa which sows so mach devotedmiss to the interests weeded to Its aye, is endeavouring to lighten the public burdens without in any way diminishing our naval tomw and in this view certain measures of detail are, it is yid, about to be taken ; as part of these measures, we bear that the Imperial yacht+ Aile and keine Hosteeme will be laid up, they not bring wanted at present. The same journal speaks of the squadron of evolutions, and women' that the number of its vowel+ is Jobe diminished. We believe we know that no decision on this subject has yet been come to ; but that in any cam: if any ships of the lies are to be withdrawn from this squadrou, they will be at agar replaced by iron-plated frigate+, a description of viral which, la a military point of view, will be superior in future to lise ships. I learn from a private source that the Atlantic squadron, so far from being reduced, is to be aug mented by three or four vessels. General de Goyon left Paris this morning to re sume his command at Rome with the higher rank, which there is but too much reason to fear is au indication of the Emperor's intention to occupy Rome permanently. The Marquis de Lavalette, the new ambassador to the Holy See, will leave almost immediately. General Miramou the ex-President of Mexico, expected at Marseilles to-murruw from Alicant. He wishes to go home, and offers to act iu con cert with the three powers for the settlement of the country. The French adventurer Lambert, who has ob- tained a diplomatic appointment from the new King of Madagascar , Radium IL, is expected in Paris. It is reported that tho bullion in the Bank of France has increased by 26,000,000 within a week, ten of which, however, are the prudtioe of a loan negotiated at Amsterdam. There is no doubt about the death of Father Lacordaire. He expired on November 21, at Smite, after en minimally long and painful ill ness. By his death there is a vacancy iu the French Academy, of which he was elected a member in February, 1860. PORTUGAL The following proclamation was addressed by the young King of Portugal to his people on amend ing the throne : Palace of Belem, Nov. 14. Portuguese—ln virtue of the impenetrable decrees of Divine Providence, and in coofonnity with the political in stitutious of the kingdom, I have been called to preside over the destinies of the nation.

The receipt& and disbursements are much higher than those exhibited in any preceding half-year. This n chiefly to be accounted for by the circumstance that for the first threw months the company's vessels were performing four different services monthly. The net profite would have been con siderably larcer but for tire less sustained in working the Auckland line during the period over which the notice of dineetiunance extended. This worries was finally given up in March, the colonial government not being willing to pa a subsidy proportioueto to the expenditure. The compa re s easels also ceased running on the Melbourne hue in J y.

The colonial government having expressed a strong desire for farther steam communication, the directors are anxious to meet their wishes in the meet liberal manner, provided the government will give sufficient encouragement. WEE? SURREY REGISTRATION.—The recent re vision of the electoral register in West Surrey has proved an impotent gain to the liberal cause. The con servatives, who engaged several ag,nta to attend to their interest, succeeded by new claims and sustained Aim:Lops to liberals in adding 221 votes ou their side. The liberals, on the other hand, with but one agent, Mr. Wells, of Percy - street, employed on their behalf, were successful iu new claims sod sustaii,ed objections in 357 cases, thus giving clear gain of 116 liberal votes, and encouraging a hope of the return of two liberal wombats at the west general election. -------- SALE OF VALUABLE BOOKR.—At a male of a libniry by Messrs.
