We have received our despatches in anticitiatfou set the Overland Mail from India and China. The dates are : Bombay, April 3; Calcutta, March 22 ; Canton, March 9; and Singapore, March 19. The following is the summary of the Bombay Times:—The Governor-General returned to Calcutta on the ;th March, having visited Goa, Colombo, Point de Gabe, Singapore, Malacca, Penang, and Maul main, since leaving Bombay on the 2d February. He seems to have benefited greatly by his voyage, his health being now completely restored. Au address wes presented to hen by the inhabitants on his arrival, in reply to which he took oc casion to reiterate those assurances of a deter mine ion to adhire to a pacific line of policy, given by him at Bombay. His perfect site. rity in this is beyond all question ; and it is seldom indeed that the ruler of India, when determined on avoid ing war, reed fear the frustration of his purposes. He proceeds almost immediately to the north-west provinces, taking up his residence, as formerly, at Simla. Tee Marchioness Dalhoueie bad preceded him on the 22nd ult. The Commander-le-Chief of India will, it is said, spend the hot season at Subathoo. Sir Charles reached Lahore on tae 22nd of March. The Peshawar frontier of our rew nominions continues greatly disturbed. Tne com munication betwixt l'eabawur and Kobe', before poly occasionally interrupted, is now completely closed. Carrie Coke, senior officer on the spot, hearing that a detachment left in the hills', was threatened, proceeded immediately to reinforce it: he succeeded in his object after some sharp fighting and the loss of ten men, but it seems not ur.l lc• ly that he may be :orepelied to retire. Another expedition into the mita was in contemplation. The last was proc aimed a defeat by the mountaineers, who 10. ked on their triumph as the greater as the Commander-in- Chief was present with our forst when foi:ed. I No Kroner bad Captain Coke returned to Knt at on the 2nd f March than the Affreedies assembled to the number of 2,000 men, under Daces Khan, and advanced towards the tower held by us. They ap proached under regular breastworks, and suc ceeded in cut'ing off our eupplies of water. On the 3rd, the garrison being rendered hopeless, was withdrawn by means of negotiation. Tee enemy having thus secured their object, dispersed.— Definite cyders for the distribution of the troops at Mrottan have been issued. A regiment of native infantry (the 12th), one of irregular cavalry (the 3th), and a company of European artillery, are to occupy the cantonment of Pyre-bagh, a mile from the town. A regiment cf native infantry and a company of European artillery remain in the fort. An endless series of dust-storms hed been expe rienced, and the heats Sad commenced. We are happy to hear that the rumour current a fort night sines at Calcutta, of one of the Bengal native regiments at Nfooltan having exhibited symp toms of tnsuhordination, proves to be groundless. The details of the arrangements for providing supplies fur the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations have been published, and seem eminently judiciore. Colonel Mackeson, Ire political agent, and Captain Ramsay, military secretary to the Governor-General, leave far Europe to-morrow by the Cape on board H. M.'s steamer Medea.

THE NAME OP THE YOUNG PRINCF.—The Court Circular of yesterday announced that his final Highness Prince Albert honoured the Duke of WeHinson with a visit at Ansley House CD Wednisday. It is now understood that ha R yal Highness did so at the ezpreu de.ire of her Majesty, in order to convey to the noble duke the intimation that it was her Majesty's gracious intention to have the newly born prince baptized by the name of "Arthur," as a testimonial of her high personal regard for his grace, and in commemoration of the great and import.nt strvices he had renchred to his country. It will b- remembered that the day in question was also the natal day of the noble duke, which gives a further interest to this determination on the part of the Queen. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL Yesterday a court wu held for the despatch of public business, and in consequence of a requisition to consi• der the following motion :—" That the court do petition both houses of parliament in favour of the establishment of a system of national secular education." THI BIRTH OP • PRINCII. The RECORDER having stated to the court that the Lord Mayor had received a communication from Sir George Grey, announcing that the Queen had been safely delivered of a prince, Mr. DAKIN rose to move a congratulatory address to her Majesty upon the event, in accordance with the practice or the court, which was upon all occasions foremost in mina. lag its loyalty and affection to the sovcreiza. The experi• once of ages, and the present glorious condition of England bore the most convincing testimony to the superiority of the British government to the government of any of the continental nations, and whilst the rest of Europe wee agitated by political storms, Eng. liahmen clung more closely to their own vene rated institution. It was with feelings of the greatest plea sant he rose to move an address to the sovereign of these realms, a lady alike remarkable for the exercise of public and domestic virtues and a brilliant example to society; and he trusted that the event of yesterday would give to London a distinguished citizen, to England a distinguished subject, and to the sovereign great additional comfort and happiness. (Cheers. f He concluded by moving that a dutiful and loyal address be presented to the Quin on the auspicious occasion of the birth of a prince. Mr. BAILEY seconded the motion, which was carried amidst loud cheers. A committee was then appointed to draw up the address, and the usual formalities were ordered to be adopted u to its presentation.

NATIONAL /MOLAR IDOCATION. --- Mr. BENNOCH roes to submit the motion of which he had slain notice, " That the court petition both houses of Parliament in favour of the establishment of • system of Batioaal secular education." He regarded the subject as one of the most important character, and it was not without some trepidation that he undertook to introduce it to the court. The question was he admitted one of considerable difficulty. The solution was difficult, and he could have wished that it had fallen into abler bands. Still, as he felt that it was one of light and darknees, he considered they were hound to say which of the two they would prefer. Now as regarded the voluntary princiole," he was free to admit that that prin ciple had been of immense advantage, bat still he must say that he believed it to be an evil In many res pects, that it had roved to he a failure , and that none of its recent promises bad been »allied. (Hoar, hear.) Facts had proved that that which was called a " voluntary system" was a most " involuntary" thing. He appealed to the members of that court whether sash was not the fact. He bad handl »caved, within a very sheet time, from several " voluntary" institutions, no lam than fifteen invita tions to become steward to certain voluntary charities. What did that mean t Why, that the man who submitted to »apt the office would probably be called upon to pay I drawn times five or ten guineas, by being thus pressed into that miscalled " voluntary" service. Such a system was unjust to the benevolent, while it allowed the parsimonious • to Neaps. He sonaidered that Nem by sational provision alms that education mild be eff orally emend ; but when he sold that, he remembered also that the objection might be raised that such a national provision would be destructive to the independence of the people.. (Hear, beer.) That was, in fa c t, no objection at all, lot dipsadence upon the state in that Impels could not be considered to be more degradiag or spirit-breaking than i dependent,' on ladfvidusla—the very core of the voluntary prmciple Sack a principle was not only inefficient, but vo to the rtharecter of the parties under its •inlia sue, and in proof of that he might advance the instances given in the multi erieing from the workless of parochial schools, and schools attached to phone of worship. When- I ever c hildren taught by the system to nod and curtsey to their patrons, emerged, through any carmanistances, from the chum into which they were born. and thus rose superior to annum servitude, they were pointed oat as wonders, and dignified by the appellation of "prodigies." Such a result was most injurious to all parties, and even to Um system which fostered I'. Now, what th e advocates of the voluntary system would dole out in charity, he would give as a right, and by such means indspsro denoe would, he was sure, be inculcated far more extensively than it was under he existing system. It had been considered well upou the part of the government to levy a tax upon the public for the pupae of providing an efficient police force to protect the person. It had also been considered wall to levy a tax to provide for the poor and to prevent the necessitous from starving; but was it cot still better, he world ask, to levy a tax to overcome the demon of ignorance and to subdue the many evil. that followed in its oils t God forbid that he should undervalue then-reit:es of religious bodies' in the great work of education. It it had not been for the exertions of such bodies the people of this country might now be in a state of semi-barbarism. But id the case of the poor who needed educational privileges much even now remained to be done. He did not hesitate to declare that as a system he preferred religious education combined with secular ; but he must also say that he preferred secular to none, and that was then the question. (Hear, hear.) He considered that the bill brought in by Mr. Fox, the member for Oldham, was exactly calculated to secure the end sought, inasmuch as it provided " free schools for the people " of the " best description ;" " opporturty for the addition of direct religious instruction by other agency at the discretion of the parents ;•' and com bined ' local management with governmental supereieion." lie moved therefore that the court do petition both Houser of Parliament in favour of Mr. Fox's bill. Mr. WYLIE seconded the motion. Sir P. LAURIE said he was astonished to hear two men who had been brought up in Scotland—a religious zountry— advecaticg such a bill as teat which would have toe effect of giving to the ,peop:a au education unmixed with religion. Now be was a native of Scotland also, but although he con sidered, from what he had heard from %Ito Recorder, that the fate of the bill was sealed, he should move the previous querion as an amendment to the motion ben , e the court. (Hear, hear.) He believed the court could not be aware of the enormous pow-r proposed to be give nby the measure to the committee of the Privy Council. lie agreed with Lend John Result in thicking that the power with wicch it would invest that committee would be despotic, enabling them to tax the people to an awful extent, and to crier what queen of govt fitment they pleased on the mere report of any government inspector of schools. lie knew several of these who haft signed the re qoisition were conscientious oppocenta of church rotes. They objected to be compelled to psy for the propagation of religious doctrines which they objectc 1 to, and they ought not to support a bill com2eLiog others to pay for the propagation of irreligious 'ductal /13. Ho knew he was addressing those who knew too well the value of religion to ray that it was the only thing to be excluder trim the national education of the poor. He spoke w.ta the ex perience of a ma4istrate for more than 2.5 years, end he did not he,iotte to say that the great bony of (Menders in the metropolis w: re nut destitute et secul.r but of religious edu cation; and he knew that giviug only secular education was only glens( power without principle. (lieu, hear.) During the last twenty years the c aporat tun of London Lad subscribed •,st sums for giving raigious education, and why Because in each case the necessity had bean proved; but it secular education wes to be provided by the state that court must close the purse, and tell the eppiicants to apply to the parish. He telt he wu speaking to men who valued their bible, who I..ved reli gious freedom, and wi o knew and acted upon the precept of the woe man," Train up a chill is the way he should go, and when he is old he shall not . epart from it." ( Sir Peter Lourie concluded by moving the previous question. Mr. MAT 1 HE W roc md, d the amendment. Mr. D. putt' PE WIRESS thought the question was com pletely mystified by the obscurity of the espretiliwis, which were placed, as it were, in opposition to each !a:Li r, as if what was secular was necessarily contrary to what was roll- Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR ridiculed the distinction wh:ch had been drawn in the House of Commons between the words " secular" and "religious," and we. prOCtedlng CO point out the weakness of toe arguments usi.d by tLe op• ponents to the propos. d system, WilCll A MEMBER observed that there was no court. The officer of the Court then counted the members, and announced that the court was adjourned. IRISH SOCIETY OF LONDON. Yesterday the twenty-eighth annual meeting of this society wee held t the Hanover-square Rooms; the Marquis of BLANDrOItD, M.P. (the president) in the chats. The meeting was very numerously attended. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the meeting, said that it might be proper to direct their attention to one or two subjects suitehle to the occasion. o.le wise the present condi . ion of the society, as regarded the people and country of Ireland. No one but could perceive a signal instance of God's penal justice in the pestilence and famine which bad decimated the land, and in the re )ral and spiritual darkness wLiela covered the mass of the people. The question, therefore, was to consider how tar those things were instruments of the divine vengeance, while perhaps they might infer that those juogments were sent with a double view, not tidy to warn but to prepare the people for the reception of the eternal truths whte it was the privilege of that society to set before them. The work of this society in Ireland was a patriotic one, for her interests and welfare were indissolubly connected with these of this country, and if England brought blessings up in Ire. land she would reap them tenfold in her own bosom. What ever might be the responsibility of the government as re garded Ireland, the country would look with gratitude to the working of this and similar societies. It was a matter of importance that the means which were adopted should be such as would produce the results intended,*snd the best means was the unlimited and unrestricted diffusion of the Word of God. The peculiar ignorance this society had to deal with had led them to consider that the weapons they were to use must not be carnal ones, and that sue es must follow those means which were most assimilated to the example of our Saviour. It was ditticult to teach those whose minds were impregnated with error, and yet not wound or give offence, rod he believed ti:er the message of a kind and compassionate Saviour, brou4ht to their bonus and placed ►ffectionately before them, wthild be more effectual than any system of controversy, which, even though it might convince the judgment, yet lett the heart untouched. The S iCILETART then read the report, which stated in substance that the labours of the society had been blessed in the conversion of many persons in Ireland from R•manism and in proclaiming the truth to those who wire in error. The officers of the society in England had been reduced at the end of the year 1848-9, but it was found that the agency of the society suffered, and the services of tour or five clergymen had been secured in different parts cf England to promote the interests of the society, and the system had bees I round to answer. The income el the society front all sources was 9,0531. 135., the actual receipts being 6.758/. 10s., being a decrease of 8641. on those of last year. The labours of the society in Ireland had been successful, especially in having I obtained for its agents • footing in Tipperary. At exten sion in the number of clergymen employed in the leak mitt hoes hod taken place, there being now 14 spe.ktng Irish instead of seven, as before, while the total of the teachers employed by the society was 116. In Cork. 80 families, amounting to 400 persons, had become converts from Romanism. la Kerry, in one village, there had been 40 converts, in another 103, and in another about 200 ; and an English lady had given a sum sutfi:ient to pay the stipends of three teachers, and had offered to give half the stipend of • clergyman speaking Irish. lu Mayo, 450 persona, inhabitants of Lswisburgh, had renounced popery l in the last twelve months, and the schools were filled with children, there being at Ballynahinch 100 sebo!arr, while in the wild district of Erris there had been no less than 1,000 converts. The conclusion to be Idzawn from the operations of the society's mission, which reached from Donegal to Cork, was that the peasantry were willing to learn the truths of the gospel despite of the priests • and no leas than 26 distinct congregatons of the 'native Irish hal been aediered from popery by the society. The report concluded by an expression of belief that the Irish language was the key to an Irishman's heart, and that the Drat bible was extensively read ; and an appeal for Massed pecuniary aid was earnestly made by the society. According to the financial statement the gross income from all sources for the past year had been 9,0531. 131 , and, the expenditure 7,4941. 8.. Ild., leaving • balance df 1,66 W. 4s. Id. _ _ _ 'Th. Ea . zl - 04 GALLOWAY moved the first resolution for t►e adoption of the report, which was seconded by the Bev. Z. TOTTENHAM. The Bishop of CASHEL morel a resolution to the effect that the 'meeting rejoiced in the ►lessing which had attended the effort, of the society, and expressive of its belief that that success was owing to its foundation being laid by the teaching of t►e Irish posaentry and the circulation of the scriptures ansoog them in their own language. The Rev. F. Ct.OSE seconded the resolution. Several other gentlemen and clergymen addressed this meeting, which was concluded by the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. ----- Tax WINDOW Tex.—An active movement has been made in Hastings to petition the House or Commons for the repeal of this most obnoxious impost.
