That in regard to a legislative sewn, the subeeribers are of opinion with the late lamented Dr. Chalmers that "then is no other method of extrication" from the diflienities with which the question of education in connexion with religion is encompassed to this country, than the plan suggested by hint as the only practicable one—namely, "Teat ia any publ'a measure for nelping on the education of the people, government [should] abet.in from introducing the element of religion at all into their put of the scheme, sad this not because they held the setter to be hisignificant—the contrary might be strongly expressed in the preamble of their act—but on the ground that, in the present divided state of the Christian world, they would take no togaisancas of, just bemuse they would attempt no control over, the religion of applioants for aid— leaving ibis matter entirely to the parties who had to do with the erection and management of the schools which they had beta called upon to waist. A gnat by the state upon this rooting might be regarded as being appropriately and ex clusivity the expression of their value for a good secular education." 7. That in order to secure Me ocelldenee of the people of Scotland generally is a national system of ideation, as well as to *mum its esMency, the following should be its main features :—ht. That local bleeds should be established, the members to be appointed by popular Andes, on the prin. ciple of giving the franchise to all male heads of fa milies being householden ; sad with them bards should lifs the selection of masters, the risenl management of the schoob, and the right, without undue .atorfeeence with the muter, to direct the branches of education to be taught. 2d. That then should be a rasing superintending authority, so constituted as to s -cure the public confidence, and to be responsible to the country through parliament, which, without superseding the locA boar Is, should see that their duties are not neglected —prevent abuses from being perpetrated through carelessness or design—check extravagant expenditure—protect the in terests of all partim—colfect and preserve the general sta tistics of education—and diffuse throughout the country, by communication with the local boards, such knowledge on the subject of education, end such enlightened views SI that authoritative position, and their command of ahem the highest Intellects in the eciuntry, may enable them to :mom sannicate. _ _ _ Were each a eyehole adopted, the subscribers w of ai l . ohm that it would be quite unnecessary, either for the 'egislatus or any esonhol authority, to dictate or control the e."Ateation to be 'sported in the national schools, or to prterrilos any subject to be taught or book to be used; end should • measure founded on these suggestions boons law, not only would the subscribers feel it to be their duty, but they ooditleu.ly believe the ministers sad relloiss sononst nines in the venous localities would use it to be theirs, to as all their inlittenoe in promoting seek arrangements as, in the working of the plan, would effectually secure • suund religiose alumni= to the children attending the schools. The above resolations were prepared by a committee ap pointed at a recent eonferenes in Kiintuargh of friends of national education. The reselatioss are at present in eosins of eirnatare, and any (Misdeed the moss desirous of expres sing Weir approval of thus, will have an opportsaity of doing so, by oossounicating with any of the members of the winatires before Thursday the 81.1 Instant.

The commodore ordered the cola maader and surgeon of the Raleigh to board them, sad inquire into the state of health and comforts of the emigrants; end it is satisfactory to know they were all found to be very healthy and comfortable. Fever was very prevalent at Bahia, and had carried off several of the inhatutants. The squadron was distributed as (allows.

That shortly before, or at toe beginning of July, 1848, Oranatelli and Scalia by direction and on behalf of the laid usurping government, had entered into& contract with the defendant., the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Packet Company, f.r the purchase of two steam ships, of which one had been lately built, and was nearly completed, and the other was then being built, and both of which belonged to the same company ; and such contract was to be subject to the ratification of the said usurping government.

That the usurping government was infurcnrd of the said contract, ant on the 10th day of July, 1848, declared that such g overnment ratified the same. That the defendants had been informed of each ratification and me morandum ; that the steam-ship in the contract referred to as the lent advanced of the two steamships then build leg at Northileet had sumo been so far completed as to be ready for sea, and had been denominated the Bombay; that in the latter part of July and August, 1848, the usurp ing government applied divers sums of plaintiff's revenue, being moneys paid into plaintiff's said royal public treasury at Palermo (ot which they bad taken perfusion as aforesaid) in purchasing or procuring bills of exchange for the pewee of such bills being remitted to England and applied towards completing the purchase of the said steam ships, the Vectis and the Bombay, and the Sicilian moneys so applied were equivalent, and the bills of exchange so purchased or pro cured amounted, to the total sum of 20,0001. and upwards of British money, and were made payable to the order of Granatelli acid Scalia, and were remitted with directions to apply the same towards completing the purchase of the said steam shim, and the defendants received such bills and ap plied them or the amount thereof in paying to the company, who well knew how and whence the money was obtained, the first instalment of 20,0001. payable under mid contract, and certain other sums in respect of the payment of the second instalment of the purchase mousy in the month of December, 1843.
