Lord John Russell has addressed a similar letter to his Royal Highness the Chancellcr of Cam bridge My Lord Daka,—Having announced in my place ia par- Hamm the intention of her Majesty's minimum to advise ' that a royal commiseion should be appointed to iegttiot into the mate and revenues of the univenities of Oxford and Cam bridge ; into the petrisiose of the statutes by which the said 11111infsi 'Ws sad their several oollegcs are governed, and to report their opinions whether any niellettret can be adopted by lite crown or by parliament by which the interests of religion sad wised learning may be promoted in the readmit of education ia the said universities. I an anxious to explain to your tt , so the views of her Majesty's confidential sensate in rcearamending this memos for her Majesty's appraise tiom I will sot enter here into the question of the legality of such a commission. Had it been proposed to exercise powers going beyond inquiry and report, sub • question siti.,ht ester into consideration. Bat the present commission will be a commission to receive evidente and to report opinions without powers to determine any question or to prescribe Gay cows*. It becomes the more expedient that the views which are entertained on the subject should be explained. No one will now deny that in the muse of three centuries the inertias of general knowledge, the growth of guiders literature, the discoveries of physical and chemical science base rendered changes in the cosine of study at our na tional 'infirmities highly expedient. ,The usiversities them 'elves have aeknowledged this expediency, and very large reforms of this nature have been adopted both at Oxford and at Cambridge. These improvements, so widely conceived, hfleat the highest credit on those Warned bodies. The object of the proposed commission is not to interfere with thee* changes, but to facilitate their programs ; not to mene the decagon of t►e universities by an authority ab sera, but to bring the aid of the crown, and if necessary of parliament, to agent la their completion. This can be done in two ways: Pint , by ascertaining ' and recording, for the information of the Q.lttri and the two houses of 'milkmen% the new regulatioes which have bites promulgated, and the mode in which these ref elisions sire expeigxed s to t!keetT.ct. s - See;idly, by obtaining a knowledge of the obstacles which are interposed by the will" of founders, the retention of customs, and the dcciuons of competent authority to the full development of that large and improved system of study which the universities have sought to establish. I will explain the nature of the obstacles to which I allude. In many eases the advantages and emoluments of the separate colleges are limited by the wills of the founders, either to the nativel of some particular county or district, or to the scholars educated in a particalar school, or to' some instances to the drseendents o f the founder and his family. Such restrictions casnet fail to be injurious, and t injorions in proportion as the field of choice is narrowed by the particular condition annexed to the advantages of the college. In other icstances the directions of the founder's will cannot be complied with under the existing law, and in arch instances it might fairly be considered whether the interests of learning and the wants of the country may not be better considered by an expansion of the governing statutes. Matters of this nature, however, require deliberate and c.lig inquiry. Commissioners conversant with the state of our universities, and versed in a knowledge of the general polity of our law, will be of essential berries, as well in pottering out the path of safe improvement as in marking t'ee dangers of heedless innovation. moue qu- gloss may and must arise in the coarse of this inquiry. For instance, has the school which has the privilege of commanding fellowships or Whiff advantages in any particular college laden off or increased in numbers and esasequence since the bequest was made ? Hs the family of the founder left few or many descendants to enjoy his bounty ? In the case of religious services prescribed by the toundtr, but now prohibited by law, does it appear to be the wish of the founder that in case no such religious services could be pertormai the foundation was or was not to aid in the purposes of education ? In the *moot royal foundations, how far has the crown the power of consulting the good of the university in the application of the endowment of a former sovereign ? These and similar question. require are for their aleesigation sad prudence in their solution. For this purls , as the utmost care will be taken in selecting com missioners, who may not only be well qualified for their im portant task, but who may irepire confidence and respect by their character and position. I have the honour is be, my lord duke, your faithful end obedient servant, May 8. J. RUSSELL. Ilia Grace the Duke of Wellington. Cory of Letter from the Duke of Wellington to Lord J. &moll.

This combination of professorial and collegiate instruction is met important and beneficial, and roma of the late changes in our •ystera have been designed to redoes this combined instruction to greater efficiency, when it had suffered some temporary interruption from the unforeseen and unintended effects of earlier usasnres of reform. But experience proves that there is no reason to apprehend any obstacle to the full development of the unites sity system, as to the instruction of the e conger students, wiliest from my of the collegiate customs or statutes. The recent regulations are only the latest of several somas sive measures of academic reform. The studies of this place has* 5.4 continued, as would appear to be assumed in Lord Jain Russell's letter of the Bth inst., the same, or nearly the sew, during the last three centuries • nor if it oily of late that they have bun alter e d or enlar ged. Two centuries ago—in 1636—the university revised the whole body of its statutes, and the academic system of study was admirably arranged at a time when not only the mature sad faculties of the human mind were et a rly what they are still, and must of course remain, but the principle' also of sound and enlarged intellectual calm» were far tram imper fectly understood. In process of time further changes and improvements be came requisite, and the university ha far tt• last hal •i.sentury since the year IMO, been continuall y eagand in a series of academic reforms designed to adapt the system to shared circumstances, or to the advanced state of science in some departments of knowledge ; and if these reforms, limier., well designed, have not always so completely answered the expectations of their author", or if they have not always met the wishes of all the members of the academic legi'ure, still from no quarter wha.auever has any obstacle or obstruc tion been opposed to the full development of the system of the mole ty, and it courier justly be said that our reforms have ever failed to produce their full effect through the supineness. ind.fference, or incompetency of the public in structors of our youth, whether the professors is the uni versity or the tutors of colleges. /3' far, then, as respects the university, its institutions, and its recent regulatioss, whether with reference to the uni versity itself or to the aid derived to its institutions from the 001. am we humbly submit th a t a royal commission will obstruct, , inetead of wiring, the natural progress and im provement of the academical system ; sad this is the declared, indeed, the only declared, object fog the appointment of such a eommiseion. anous suggestions, in d eed, are subsequently thrown out, and various quations raised, in lard John Russell's letter to your gram, besting upon the state and well-being of the repents colleges, but only indirectly affecting the welfare of the university. The several colleges in Olford have been founded at various times from one to six centuries ago, in some few instances by royal, but chiefly by private saunifinnee. They have exercised an important and very salutary influence upon the discipline and the sduzation of the university. But it should be observed that they have not been usually founded, or in all cases endowed by subsequent benefactors, directly for the education of youth, but for higher purposes The education of youth ha, in moat instances, been super added to their other duties by the heads and fellows of colleges, of their own free will, to the .great advantage of the community. It may very well be that modern founders and benefactors might, in some Instances, improve upon the ancient regu. lations it they were creating colleges anew of their own bounty ; but it does not follow th a t th e f ormer f oundat i ons arid endowments, when they are in no instance injurious to the community at large, often highly beneficial, ought there. lore to be disturbed. If the rearietionB upon the elections to fellowships, for example, might in some cases be advanta geously modified or removed, still their removal would not to any considerable extent benefit the cause of education or woad learniug, and the nature and amount of the existing restrictions, moreover, have been greatly exaggerated. Fellowships are not commonly restricted to particular schools, but only scholarships, or probably fellowships from which there is a subsequent election to the actual fellow ships. The schools in question are for the most part our great public schools. The districts, again, from which con fined fellowships are filled up often comprise several populous counties. It is not often, if ever, that the mere lineal de scendants of founders have a claim to these, but the kindred of the founders traced collaterally, and also beyond the founder to his remote ancestors, and embracing therefore very many families, and opening a wide field of choice. The degree of preference, moreover, is often so slight, that what are called confined fellowships may be, and sometimes are, filled up from other districts besides what are prescribed. If the colleges themselves would sometimes gain by the removal of such restrictions, the university at large, snd the general course of education, would be bat little affected by the change. Tutors of colleges are not neceinarill appointed from the fellows on clout foundations, or from e fellows of colleges at all. Even the colleges themselves are sometimes benefited by the various provisions under which their fellows are elected. One uniform principle of election, or one kind of qualification cr standard of merit, would be prejudicirt to the general interests of the several societies, end through them to the country. But it should be especially recollected that in all instances trusts and vested rights have been created and have been sanctioned by the crown or by parliament, which could not now be generally abrogated without groat detriment to the future interests of charity, and great injustice to the persons and families and districts in , erested in these endowments. Similar remarks would apply to the statutes of colleges, which have also been supposed to require situations through the aid of a royal commission. In many instances there already exists some power to re vise and alter ancient statutes, vested either in the colleges or their visitor.. Wherever such powers are felt to be wanting or insufficient, and the colleges and their 'fatars desire ad ditional powers of alteration, we do not doubt that the legis lature, upon a proper application made to them, would not be inuisp sad to confer such powers upon them. But for none of these purposes does the apoointsaent of a royal commission appear to be requisite or desirable. The preceding ob dons apply to the objeets of the pro posed royal ounnibsion with referees* to the university and to the coil's.' separately, and the university in teepees of education. la each of these relations the commission would appear, we respectfully submit, to be uncalled for, if not positively injurious. And, generally, we would take the liberty of expressing our conviction, that inch a commission would entail several injurious *fleets upon the university, by no means contem plated by her Majesty's ministe rs. However friendly their intentions towards the universities and colleges, the appointment of such • commission, imme diately succeeding the attacks repeatedly made by persons very inadsqustety acquainted with these bodies, would be commonly and naturally regarded as even desired to continue cad to sanction these attacks. It would obviously tend, also, not only to interrupt our latroirs and studies, be to check and °Ma'am the natural and healthy progress of improvement which has of late sears proceeded as rapidly as is consistent with the proper working of the academical system. Aud without entering into the question of the legality of a 01111111illike appointed only to inquire and report, it is obvious that it would be of the nature of an unconstitutional proceeding, since it would seek to attain indirectly what could not be directly attained without an open violation of tne constitution and of the rights and privileges of her Majesty's subjects. And we respectfully submit that her klajery's dutiful and loyal subjects ought not to be exposed to the painful alternative of either withholding evidence front a commission so appointed, lest they should betray their trusts and sanction a pro ceeding apparently unconatitatlocal, or of allowing her Majesty's commissioners to inure only to imperfect informs.

The pri soner had previously given bins • paper containing the names of Dr. Moore and ether medical gentlemen, who, the prisoner stated, had relieved him with money. This paper the prisoner tried to burn, but was prevented. Dr. Moore, Bavtlr-row, identified the prisoner as having obtained 10e. from hint about that. maths ago by represent. inn himself as connected with some friends of his in Corn will. lie bad since ascertained that the prisoner's state ment was false. There were about 20 other gentlemen in court who had been duped by the prisoner, but Mr. Bingham did not think it necessary to hear their evidence, as there was anott.er charge against the prisoner, which would for the present remove the case out of his jusisiliction. Mr Rote, superintendent of the Darer police, produced • warrant granted at the general quarter scssioos in Dumber last, for the apprehension of the prisoner, on the charge of absconding from his bail, he (the primmer) being at the time under remand for fraudulently obtaining money and goods from various tradesmen in Dover. Mr. Bingham then directed Mr. Rote to take charge of the prisoner, and convey hi. to Dover. MONEY MARKET. ?VENDEE EVENING. At this, the fourth day of the indigo sales, Cata logue B was commenced. Prices ruled much the same as on previous days, but with a little uneven ness,,as is usual in this catalogue. In all, 1,549 sheets passed the chair, of which 679 were with drawn, 450 bought in. and 520 sold. Smyrna letters of the 6th mention sales of 3,000 quintals of madder roots, at 225 p. In other products scarcely any business was doing, with the exception of %Words, of which staple about 2,000 quintals had been taken at 67 p. with a firm market. In oil, owing to the unfavourable accounts from Europe, scarcely anything had been done, and prices were looking down. The new crop of opium was expected to be large and prices to rule low, probably at 94. 6d. to 10s. per lb. in July. Five slants were loading with general cargoes for Liverpool, and six with Valonis for various ports. The exchange on London was 111 p. St. Petersburg letters, of the 11th inst., estimat9 the supply of new tallow at 110,000 to 117,000 casks. Contracts had been effected of 600 casks for May and June. at 110 to 111 R. cash ; and of 200 casks for August, at 107 R.; some settlements had also been made amongst the Russians, at 110;, with 10 down. Business in general was quiet, it being Easter week. In flax, scarcely any thing was doing, as meet of the dealers were up the country, and the only transaction reported was 100 tons Archangel, at 1121 It., 1024 and 924, for lit and 2nd crown and Zabrack. In hemp only a few parcels of clean had exchanged hands on the spot at 871 It., and 90 R. cash. Nothing was doing in linseed: the supply was estimated at 275,000 diet., of which about 65,000 have been already contracted for. In iron no transactions are reported : for 60,000 pds. PSI in first hands the price demanded was 1.50 (1,125 re.); and for PSI and Guricffs, ex pected in May and June, 124 and 122. The weather was warm, with a westerly wind. No arrivals were as yet reported at Cronstadt, bat the gulf was ap parently clear. Exchange on Landon, 38 to 37 15-16. The Emperor had addressed an ukase to the minister of finance, authorising him to issue, in virtue of the ukase of the 22nd August, 1849, the twenty-fifth series of Billets de Credit of the empire, amount ing to three millions of silver roublee. The returns of the British trade with the port of Amoy which have been received by the last overland mail preterit some gratifying results, and show the steady yearly increase which our trade with that distant quarter has enjoyed. The returns are in ster ling at the exchange of 41. 4d. per dollar, and are given on the authority of the consulate. During 1849 67 British vessels entered the port. The total value of British imports for that year was 246,2261.; ex ports, 45,2971. ; making a total of 291,5231., against a total in 1848 of 97,3731., being an in crease on the year of 191,15 W., or two hundred per cent. The total trade of Amoy with other foreign nations was, in 1849, 93,283!. against 116,043!. the previous year, being a falling off of 21,760!., or about twenty per cent. The greater part of the English imports consisted of shipments from Canton, Hong- Kong, and Singapore; and the principal exports were to Singapore and Sbanghae. The other foreign ves sels which entered the port of Amoy were, 11 Spanish from Manilla, 6 Dutch from Java, 3 American, 1 Danish, 2 Prussian, 1 Bremen, 1 Portuguese, 2 Siamese. The official returns of British trade for the neigh bouring, but almost inaccessible and dangerous, pert of Niogpo, for the year 1849, are anything but en couraging. The total value of the imports is 5,1871., and the exports 8331., making a total of 6,0201. ; of which not one third consisted of British products. The consulate of Niogpo was established by Sir Henry Pottinger, simultaneously with there of Shanghae and Amoy, at which places the British trade is considerable, is greatly on the increase, and is capable of still greater development than it has yet obtained ; bat at Niogpo there is no such prospect, and the experiment of fostering British trade at that port by the establishment of a consulate at an expense to the government of at least 1,6001. a year for the last eight years should now be abandoned. If one-half of this yearly amount was expended upon a consular agent at Bangkok, Siam, (whose king monopolises the entire foreign trade in his own person, to the exclusion of the regular trader, and sets at defiance the stipulations of the treaty concludtd in 1826 with the East India Corn panyait would be much better employed; and we then might hope to see the trade of Siam with our flou rishing settlement of Singapore again revive, and Slam once more become what it formerly was—one of the most promising outlets in those seas for British manufactures with which our settlements in the Straits have held commercial intercourse. We have on former occasions called attention to the frequent in fractions of the treaty by the trade•monopolising po tentate of Siam, and it is to be hoped that the mission which the Governor-General promised the Singapore merchants should be sent toßangkok will effect those changes in the fiscal laws and exactions at present imposed on the trader, contrary to the express mean ing of the treaty, which we have a right to demand, and that the British trade with Siam will be put upon a safe, permanent, and equitable footing. wain siOClLL—lsloy 20. 8 per Ont.

We are without arrivals of Oats from 'our own coast or from Ireland, but from abroad 13,000 qrs. have come to hand daring the week.
