Fernand Foy has desisted from offering himself as a candidate at the election of the 281 h, and begs all his friends to vote for tL Leclerc. M. Goldenberg, member for the Bail-Mine has re signed his seat in the Assembly. By a sentence of the Court of Assizes of La Charente, M. Durance, advocate and representative of the people, declared guilty of having, by the publication of an article in the Batch. de D.rilogne, beginning " Democrats of La Dordogne!" and ending, " 'Vise la Itepublique!" in stigated the inhabitants to civil war, but ineffectually, has been condemned to viz months of impris3nment and 2,000 fr. fine. The article was written nearly • year ago. By a decree published in the Monikur of to-day, the expeditionary army of Italy is reduced to one division. The general of divisioa, Clemeau, comman der of the Sth and 6th military divisions, is appointed to the commend of this " division of oocupation." General Ilareguay d'Hilliers is authorised to nturn to his seat in the National Assembly. The question of Rine is likely to form once more a rallying ground for the opposition. The Pope is at R Anr, with Frerch bayonets about him; and mem- I bets of the sacred college frequent the soirees of Gen. Baraguay &Hillier', indicating a restoration of good understanding. Wl•at moment, say the opposition, more ftiv, arable for soliciting his holiness for gua metres of crinstituional government, and an admis sion of laymen to office ? The 13 nine is quite stagnant, owing to the state of suspense with regard to the result of the election. Even bets are made on the candidates. I understand that the Brussels courier, who brought to Lorrdon on the 7th the notes to be signed for the settlement of the Spanish affair is still waiting for the sigr store of Lord Palmerston. This delay is the Mew unaccountable, as the note signed at Madrid by Pidal on the 31st may he said to have been dictated by the British Foreign Secretary. The changes pro posed by Lord Palmerston in tne note drawn up by the Spanish government were, if I am correctly in formed certainly not of a nature to excite scruples at Madrid. It had been demanded at first, on the side of Buffeted, that Sir H. Bulwer should return to the pest tram which he was so unceremoniously ejected. This demand is at present modified into a regret that any objection should have been entertained by the Sparrish goy, rement to this obvious and na oral ter mination of the dill ranee; but that the British government having in the meantime employed the vslusble toilette of S.r H. Bulwer upon negotiations in another part, from which they could nut be diverted with..ut detriment to the public service, was the less dispersed to theist upon this pint. The Spanish note rates that by the expulsion of Sir H. Bulwer no offence had been intended to the Queen of England, or to the English government or nation. Lord Palmerston altered England and Eoglioh to Great Britain and British. The rote then alludes to the grave circumstances smiler which this step was taken. Lord Palmerston replaced the word " grave" by "alarming." These are all the changes which bis lordship proposed. The three councils-general of agriculture, manufac tures, and commerce were yesterday occupied with the customs sl stein to be established between Algeria and France. The principle of the plan proposed by the government is the commercial assimilation of the mother country ant the colony, the prcducts of the trio countries being reciprocally admitted free of duty. By that system, it wan supposed the contection between them would be rendered more intimate. The committee named by the three commits proposed to adopt the government measure,' with two or three slight modifications in no way interfering wish the genersl principle on which it is based. Several members opposed the introduction into France of articles from Algeria, conceiving that I such a course would establish a dangerous competition for the proeuee of France ; in a few years the Fiends markets would, they believed, be glutted with corn, and other produce from the colony. In consequence, M. de Banana: proposed that a duty equal to one fourth of the present one should be imposed on corn, oil, oil-seedy, tallow, skins, and raw wool, from the colony; M. de Lissrac proposed to m.ke it on)y one eighth, but to raise it afterwards; and, lastly, M. Bubbly proposed to lay a duty on wool only, that heir g, en hie opinion, the only article that was des tined to became formidable to French agriculture. All these amendments were opposed by MM. Conan, Lest.boudoie, and Darn. How, they asked, could differences be established between France and Algeria, when the letter at present formed part of the French territory ? If that were the case, ell the blood end treasure expended would be a complete loss. The fears of Algeria throwing an immense quantity of goods into the Freech markets, they argued, were quite chimerical, as it produced at present not enough of corn to supply two-fifths of the French army. If oil and wool were imported, they would merely take the place of the same articles imported from foreign couctrite. What was most probable was, rhot the colonists, in consequence of the dearness of labour in Algeria, would cultivate such article as were not pro- duc.d io France, snub as cochineal, tobacco, cotton, mulberry trees, itie. The duty, if levied, consequently would be of little service to France, and would be of an immense injury to Algeria, as the very fact of their existing, were they only nominal, would deter cipitalists from having anything to do with the colony. This.: considerations led to the rejection of all the amendments proposed. The only modification of any importance adopted was, the augmentation of a drry on foreign iron when carried to Algeria to two- thirds of the duty prevailing in France, the bit pro posing only one-half. The object of this increase is to give some ea•isfaction to the French iron trade. " We have announced," say. the Coastitutionnel, " that M. de Itaynevsl wu named ambassador to the Holy See. He is replaced at Naples by M. Waleski, whose post at Florence is to be taken by M. do Mon treacly, at parent minister at Hanover. This latter Reath tarn is to hare for successor M. de Ferrier's, First Secretary at St. Petersburg. AI. de Talleyrard is appointed to the place left vacant by M. de Fer rier*,; M. de 31enneval is to be First Secretary at Vegans.; anti M. Guitant, Second Secretary at Madrid." The Moniteur of the 16.6 ult. stated that the num ber of clectura inscribed in the department of Seine is 353,500; out of this number, those who voted on the 101 Mar.h were 260,198; number abstaining from voting 93,302, or nearly a quarter. In the sitting of the Legislative Assembly to-day the &bite on the budget of agriculture and com merce was resumed. After a discussion, in which MM. de thareocy, Gen. Lsmorciere, and Richard do Centel took part, the amendment of the latter, pro po.ing the application'of the 300,000.: net down for the encouragement of horse races to the worthier object of promoting a useful bitted of hoses, by offetin4 prises for fine stallions and bro. V.-nun es, was rejected. M. de Lamont proposed, on the contrary, au aug mentation of 200,000 fr. This, together with an amendment of M. Itochet, proposing to quadruple the augmentatioa was rejected, and the chapter adopted. Chapter 9, assignieg a sum of rather more than half a million tor the national manufae.nres of the Gobelios and Sevres chins, was adopted without dircussit n. On Chin.lo, which assigns a stun of 1,165,0001 r. to the comereatoire of the schools of site and trades, M. Raudet pr. paid a reductio: of more than a mil lion. M.

We may more correctly trace and determine the advancement and actual condition of the working clean, by examining what they have done for them selves, than by numbering and prying into the cha ritable and pseudo-charitable instituuons which are ostensibly intended to improve them. The abundant streams of English charity h:ve not flowed upon an unfruitful soil; the working classes have largely benefited by the philanthropic exertions of the ' wealthier and more enlightened classes. This cannot be disputed ; but it is nevertheless true that the per manent and solid advancemer t of the industrial popu lation is a labour which the working men must ulti mately perform for themselves. It is well to show an open hand to the hungry—a re fuge to the to.lorn wretch, who is sick of his evil ways—the hospital to the fainting poor—the asylum to the desolate in youth and age ; but 'hese charities, glorious though they be, are neither educational nor economic. They may soothe the fallen, but they cannot prevent the fall: they may give the starving man a crust, but they cannot give him that independence which his labour should command, nor that enlightenment which will raise him in the social scale. In truth, the need of charity is the token cf a distressed and degraded condition : our many charitable buildings, though they typify the nobility of a few, betoken the forlorn poverty of the great masses. Thus, a critical review of the cha ritable societies of the country wcu:d only lay bare the extent of popular misery without suggesting any re medies. Such an exposure, though it might pan der to a morbid taste, could do no lasting good to the community. It might bring to light some curious processes for filtering the bank-notes of the benevolent through cer tain 'pongee, called secretaries, assistant-secretaries, under-assieteat-cemetarifs, &c., till five guinea. subscribed to relieve distress are reduced to ten shil lings for the halt and bliud, the remainder being de posited as sediment upon the sponges, perhaps in the ehepe of white kid gloves, or a fashionable waistcoat. " It is wouderfel," said a we►ver to me the other day, talking of a charitable society, " how the shil lings dwindle to sixpences before they come to ue." No charitable institution is too poor to support a few sleek officials. It is only within the present century that men who have had the welfare of the industrial community 1 1 at heart have seen that it must remain with the 1 1 working man to assert himself and inate his wai -1 tion, and es:ablish his proper share of power. The charity of the rich may lighten the load of his 1 misery, bat he must not regard the boon as a right, nor so far forget the dignity of his manhood as to be content to pick the crumbs from the wealthy man's table. His strength most be in his own right arm and cunning brain. He must have prudence—foresight. In his heyday he must learn to lay op for the winter of his life. The bees of our human hive must learn to garner up their honey for the days when the towers are dead and the blast blows cold. They most study the arts and sciences by the practice of which they are to eat bread. A little knowledge will not suffice, even to the mechanic, in this age of scien tific : application he must know not a little. To bear the battle well, he wants knowledge and a sufficiency of food to feed himself and family, and enable him to lay by a moderate store for his helpless year.. In the present state of matters, I fear a very small propor tion of the labouring population command these mo derate desires ; but though the needy condition of the labourer is to a great extent beyond his control at pre sent, it his not been proved on his behalf that he has arrived at a knowledge of the beat method for eco nomiaing and husbanding the means he has at his dis posaL Doe, not the Spitalflelds weaver pay more for his ounce of tea than the Marquis of Westminster disburses per ounce for his ? The working man who borrows a small sum of money pays about two hun dred per cent. interest for the loan, whereas the opu lent speculator raises thousands at two per cent. Ile pays more for his coals than Baron Rothschild would pay; and his clothes are purchased at the tally-shop. So mach for the provision of his phyaioal comforts. As regards the means of education which are at the command of the industrial community, though there is still much to find fault with, there is more to commend and rejoice at. The foundation of Mechanics' Institutes in 1823, by Dr. Birkbeck and others, marked the dawn of a more general enlight enment. " Here," said the doctor, when presiding at the opening of the London Mechanics' Institute, " hereafter the charms of literature shall be displayed, and the powers of science shall be unfolded to the most humble inquirers; for to 'the feast of reason' which will be here prepared, the invitation shall be as unbounded as the region of intellect. For an undertaking so vast in its design, and so magnificent in its objects, (nothing short, indeed, of the moral and intellectual amelioration and aggrsndiaemeot of the human race) the blessings of heaven, I humbly trust will not be implored in vain. If, in this institution, we seek to obey the mandate which has gone forth, that knowledge shall be increased; if we act in obedi ence to the injunction, that in all our getting. we should get understanding; If we succeed in proving, that for the existence of the mental wilderness, the continuance of which we all deeply deplore, we otiFht 'to blame the culture not the soil ; ' it by rendering man more percipient of the order, harmony, and bene volence, which pervade the universe, we more effec tually assert eternal providence, ' and justify the ways of God to man • ' and if thus we shall be the happy means of rend ering it palpable that the immortal essence within us, when freed from the deformity of ignorance and vice, has been created in the express image of God, then may we confidently hope that omniscience will favourably behold oar rising sun• lure, and that in its future progress, Omnipotence, without whose asidstance all human endeavour, are vain, will confer upon us • portion of His powers." The design of Dr. Birkbeck and his coadjutors, in establishing mechanics' institute., was to afford the best possible instruction and the most intellectual amusements to the poor man at the most moderate cost. The idea of such institutions undoubtedly ori ginated with Professor Anderson, who founded the Andersanian Institution at Glasgow some years bef fro the establishment of mechanics' institutes. Thu ' " Andersonien Institute" gave some influential parties in Glasgow the notion in 1823 of Amain a =esti& association for working men under the name of the Glasgow Mechanics' Inst;tute. Cleland, in hie history of " The Rise and Progreso of the City of Glasgow," comments upon the foundation of this institution in terms of high praise ; and it undoubtedly did its portion of good in luring working men from the tap-room to the lecture hall. These institutions for mechanics, established in the first instance in Glasgow, rapidly rose in every town throughout the kingdom; till in villages numbering only some few hundred inhabitants, bares were whitewashed to re ceive classes bent upon knowing something more than their alphabet. The immediate success which crowned Dr. Birkbeck's efforts showed how esger the industrial classes were to avail themselves of every opportunity given to them for their improvement. He fold them that they might compass a large share of knowledge, and they responded heartily to the good ness and worth of his teaching. The noble lecture halls erected in the large manufacturing teems were to be the intellectual homes of the working men ; thither they were to bend their steps, after the labour of the day, and fled amusement in the vivid exposi tion of scientific principles, or the refining graces of fiction and of poetry. They were to have their singing classes, their drawing classes, their elocution classes, their French classes : the avenues to extensive know ledge were to be thrown open to them; they were to drink deep at the living fountain. These were high sad noble aspirations; how far they have been fulfilkd, and how far the means adopted were adequate to the end in view, are questions which I shall seek to answer in the course of my inquiries. It is certain that the experiment of Mechanics' Insti tutes has been extensively and vigorously tried. In New Brunswick, Canada, Nova Scotia, the Cape, and New South Wales, throughout England, Wales, Scot land, and Ireland, the institution founded by Dr. Birk heck has been closely copied. The mechanics of Fredericton, Quebec, Cipe Town, and Sydney share the advantages of reading-rooms and lecture-halls with the weavers of Manchester and Glasgow. This wide application of a crude plan very fairly leads to the inference that it contains at least a wholesome germ. The query to be resolved is, has the germ ben nursed and enlarged : has it borne its full promise of fruit? It is no easy matter to manages Mechanics' Institute. Amusement must be combined with knowledge— the powder must be offered in jelly. Whether the late acknowledged depressed condition of these insti to'e sbe the result of mismanagement or the simple effect of the dire poverty of the mechanic class, I shall have ample opportunity of judging ; bat I may con fidently premise that the idea as originally conceived by Dr. Birkbeck has been imitated servilely, and that the managers of these establishments have failed to adapt the principle laid down for them to the varying exigencies of the time.. There is no authentic ac count of the present number, wealth, and influence of these institutions in print ' • the only approach to such a general statement may be found in last year's re pat of the committee on public libraries, in which Mr. L aialey is made to say that the total number of persons belonging to mechanics' institutes for England and Wales does not exceed 13,000. If this gentle man had taken the trouble to write to the secretaries of the Yorkshire, Northern, and Lancashire and Cheshire unions of these institutions for their several reports he would have found that the members of the Yorkshire union alone amount in num ber to 13,000, those of the Northern to about 8,000, and those of the Lancashire and Cheshire to not less than 10,000. Taking a mode rate estimate, therefore, of thet.ipsjitutions in the northern counties of England, they alone include up wards of 30,000 members. I ,have been at some tr.uble to arrive at a just estimate on this head, and I should have very little hesitation in putting the muter of till Mechanics' Institutes of England and Wales down at 100,000. Yet the assertion has gone forth to the world, clad in all the authority of a par liamentary blue hook, that the members of these most popular institutions do not exceed 15,000 in number! Such slovenly statements are the more mischievous, as their exposure tends to bring the facts of accurate witnesses into disrepute. In addition to Mechanics' Institutes, working men support reading cubs, political societies, and other educational associations. I shall endeavour to ?ass them all in review and to sift the good fr,..m the bad. The mein object to be gained by the survey I am about to take is the balance of economic with educt tional associations. The tendency of those who have laboured for the advancement of the workir g classes has, undoubtedly, been to furnish them with books rather than with the knowledge how to eke out their scanty pecuniary means to the greatest advantage. The ir.ortil has been put before the physical ; or rather, has almost excluded any consideration of the physi cal. The working man may meet establishments on all sides where he may obtain learning at the most mederet'e cost; but in their zeal for his intellectual advancement, his advo cates and friends have forgotten to show him how he may economise his money, and make it produce a larger amount of physical comforts. Trey would send him to school without pausing to bear whether he has had his sufficiency of food beforehand. Only they who speak from experience can convey any idea of the hardship of mastering the alphabet or listening to a lecture upon an empty stomach. It is at least a plausible argument to trace the first symptoms of decay in mechanics' institutes to their onesidedness. They offer cheap intellectual aliment to the mechanic, but they ignore the economy of his stomach alto gether ; they tempt him with the use of a library for a few shillings, bat if he wants cheap physical necessities he must look elsewhere. Where, in the present hour can he look ? Low living and high thinking is a good sounding maxim ; but it has yet to be proved that Chatterton world not have written finer things than his Rowley poems had he enjoyed a credit with his hatcher and baker. I shall begin my inquiries in the City of London. Within this small area are concentrated examples of the manifold shifts and expedients devised by poverty to make the best of its hard case. Blanket clubs, hat clubs, shoe clubs, beef clubs, and goose clubs, are among these associations. I shall find men reading the serials in mechanics' institutes whose wives are starving at home, and who look about in vain for an economic institution that would provide their creature comforts at a fair and liberal rate of payment. The poor man asks for an economical larder as well as an economical library. THE CITY SHERIFFS COURT.—Yesterday morn ing, R.

A conditional order was made yesterday in the Court of Quen's Bench for a writ of mandamus to the corporation of Dublin, commanding them to proceed to the election of a Lord Mayor. The application, which was made in the came of Mr. Samuel Wanchob, was for the issue of a peremptory mandamus, but the court, notwithstanding the arguments pressed by Mr. Brewster in support of the application, made the order only conditional with six days notice to show cause. A search was made for seditious papers in a club room at Cork, on Monday night. A number of per sona, chiefly tradesmen, were found assembled, and their names were taken by the police, and the docu ment found among them, and paraded as " seditious" by the local conservative journal, was headed " De mocracy all over the World," nod addressed to the "Nationalists of Cork." William Murphy, conv:ca d at the lest C irk AA sizes for morder, was executed on Wednesday. Two privates of the 74th Highlanders, stationed at Clonmel, committed suicide this week without any obvious motive. One of them, named William Wil liams, a native of Sligo, liew out hie brains wits his musket on Monday evening; and the other, Duncan Love, a native of Glasgow, followed his comrade's example the following morninp, a circumstance that rendered the act the more strange being the fact that the two men were entirely unacquainted with each other. The London correspondent of the Freeman describ ing an interview which the terant right deputation had on Wednesday with Sir It.

At the half- early meeting of the City of Dublin Steam I'acket Company, held yesterday, a long report frem the directors was read, relating to sundry mat ters of great importance to the company; among the rest, to the contract for the Holyhead mail service, which they had just obtained; to the loss of the Royal Adelaide; and to the ruinous opposition which has for some time been carried on between that and other Irish ateam packet companies. The report chiefly dwelt on the history cf the opposition, and touched briefly on the recent neootia'ions with the Admiralty for the packet service. To enab!e the company to c wry out that contract by purchasing ad,litional vessels, the report recommended the pro prietors to grant the necessary powers far rai , ing a sum of 20,0001. by way of mortgage on their land and buildings in Liverpool. After the loss of a motion for adjournment, the report was adopted. The f.llowing allusion was mode to the loss of the Royal Adelaide : The cause of the loss of the vessel cannot now hit weer taidtd. Most prohably it was occasioned by an extraordinary and sadden increase of the violence of the storm at the moment when she wain the narrowest part of the charnel. The directors are pa!suaded that the loss MU not attribut able to thus, in cimmand ; Captain Bety being a study experienced pilot, and well acquainted with the navirsticsi, having been engaged on the London line and in the sonic* of the company during the last twelve years.
