FRANKFORT, MAT 31. The following is a traoalatim o f t he tog of Prossia's letter of invitation to his royal confederates to hold the congress of Princes at Berlin, which has just been concluded. The one we have selected is addressed to the Grand Duke of Baden, but with the exception of the titles they are all identical : le the present important and critical moment, when the result of I e conferesees of the Union Parliament is to he laid before the ailed governments for their mini a anu as the general state of the affairs is Germany bas arrived at , a mor significant point, your Royal Highness ell) no doubt and It natural for me to feel the want of having a pivotal , tionferetee with my high confederates, in order to come to a mutual understanding as to the joint steps tc be taken by us, that the good work begun by as say he brought to a astir Ilvtore conclusion. It was. therefore, with the greatest plea sure that I received the proposal from His Highness the Duke of Saxe Cohere Gotha, fir a meeting of the princes of those stales which signed the treaty of the 26th May last year, as soon as possible, and they should wettable at his ducal residence at Gone, each accompanied by • responsible minister. I have been induced to accept %hie proposal the more readily, as the subjects which must necessarily be brought under discussion, concern the most im portant and vital interests of each state, and the personal poutin of its ruler. Amongst them may be mentioned, a ,volution encasing the acceptance of the imprinmeno of the constitution of the Union, ea agreed to by the Erten parliament, as well as a dose examination of the revised netitution, la order to weigh the merits of the question, if, ender existing drawee:mots, farther improvements cannot b• introluced; to dais* those punts of the sonstitation which aught to be left over till the de fieitive regulation of the German affairs shall hen taken plan ; and lastly, to tooe tea providers] decision as to the establishment of a simple ointment the Uaion. Tiede, these circumstances, I have had so hesitation in exposing to his highness the Duke of Ssze.Cubarg 0 Alia my perfect readiness to accept his proposa But is the meantime the German affairs have entered a new stadium, which ought to claim the immediate attention of all the German governments, sad makes a quick decision doubly desirable. The interim, instituted by mutual and (ritual 'Mend, for a certain period, has come to an • :Ora nge, and his Majesty the Emperor of Asstria has invited the German goveraments to send plenipotentiaries to Frank fort, in order to some to a decision about a new interim, and at the same time to deliberate apes the definitive regulation of the general constitution for the whole of Germany. In both of thew objects it is y wish and intention to act in full concert with my allies of the Union. It will be imperatively weemeary to come to an undentancing and joint line of policy as marts the future paeitin of the states belonging to the Union of the 26. h May, 1649, towards the interim, es well as towards the totality of the Orman confederation. The safest and quickest mode of attaining this desirable end will be a personal and confidential exchange of send meets by the prime themselves. The higher the duties inirinswl on us are, the more desirable is it that we should personally come to a mutual widmtanding as to the manner of dischareing them with all the weight of our united Jolla eon. The joint interests we have to ispresent, the mutual feeling of the most lively sympathy for the Centralisation of our beloved Oerniaay, which animates us, end the sincere confidence and goodwill existing among as, will be sun to make the proposed cocfress end in the withed.for result, and give li the G erman pea • the best guarantee that the work so heartily sommenen by es will be concluded in a manner cempatatile with the best lettersets of those countries com mitted to our charge by Providence. Tour royal Winans will no doubt agree with me that the proposed 000 , 111•11011 ought to take pleas as soon as ra mble. Ac it will be iseosmiest ter me to leave Berlin be ore the 16. h inst. oa account of the approaching nuptials of my niece, the Prisms Una/Otte, I hope yea will take it kindly when I herewith invite you sad the other allied Princes to come personally to Berlin to onto with me and me allies on the before mentioned important mahjong. As time presses, I beg you to favour me with your visit, in coin pasty with a reepoi.sinle minister, on the Bth last. at the latest. It will for the Finest remain undecided whether or not we shall have anther meeting together to deliberate further upon the state of slain. AO I as acquaiated with the lively interest which year royal highness takes in our united endeavours, and coo visaed, as you ass doubt are, of the positive necessity of our acting in tee orient oosoert, I flatter myself with the hops that you will readily mode to my wishes, and I have no hesitation in declaring my belief that this personal con ference of Gerona sovereign princes will lead, with God's assistance sad blessing, to the wished for happy result of the peaceable development of oar beloved fatherland, and the desired unity of Germany. With the assurance of my deepest respect sad most classes friendship, I remain, your royal highness's friendly diepated ends sad brother, ( **sod) _ FRIDIRICI WILLIAM.

THE ASSOCIATIONS OF WORKING MEN. NO. It. -- --- With the view of arriving at a jest estimate of the advantages offered to working mete by the Leaden klecileinee Institute, I have visited attain of the workmen who are, or have been, connected with it. I was first directed to the abode of a working shoe ' maker livings in a bye street in the vicinity of Golden square. Whoa I entered the workshop to which I had bees divested, I found there a iniddlenged man, dressed in hie working costume, pursuing hie art, and taming aaide at intervals to direct two young boys who were practising the violin at his side. My ap pearance dissipated this curium picture at once, for the youths quickly disappeared, and left me alone with their father. When I mentioned the object of my visit, his eye brightened, and he began in a rapid and cheerful voice to trace the history of his con nexion with the Landes Moshanied Institute. lie first referred me to hie Mimeo printed by Mr. Frederick Mil in his work ea miltinal education, which ran thus: MY nom Ywo oflaleg the Landau Mesismise Inetimtioa was a desire to MUM Wirmiffie ed ffiemeiry howled's, and to meet with wadi me were is pealwalleff the objects.

As my habits were always of • metal description, I eaanot my how it would have beta with me la the respects named is this gaieties bed I age he emesimial with intel lectual sea. However, It Is Mahal) the direst tandeney of 'mechanics' lainimatiens to peewee seed med. In society ; for surely the mu who is ardeatly pluming knowledge wiU hate neither time sere disposition for extravagant* and is tampeream. Moreover, knowledge always imparts a feeling of reepectability, which naturally produces that care and eeesasay which aze so meential to the prosperity and happiness of the working mu. Could I, indeed, reduce the p:easore my exonextes with the isatisitiou km :afforded me to linear ur superficial admeasurement, I might, perhaps, find for it some solution ; but even then it would present • task of scassiderahl• labour —so meat, so reed, so pun sad perpetual has been the plea sure I have derived from my consextem with this Loudon Methane' Inatitutien. I ceaseienflously believe I have been far happier la mantel= witn the institution than I should have been apart from it ; sad it would be 'meowing), easy to show that such as have taken an interest in me, sea have been sonneetel with me, have largely shared that happiness. Oat of the multitude of mesons that may be assigned for so mita, withholdier from Joining mechanics' institutes, 1 shall take the liberty of noticing the following, which I am enabled to do from my personal acquaintance with many individuals of the several chases hereafter aimed. 1. In consequence of such institationa not being suffi ciently advertised, there are many who an entirely unac quainted with the fact of their existence ; and many others, who, though they have some knowledge of such establish monta, have yet no adequate conception of their nature and utility_. 2 There are other to whom the nature and advantages of mechanics' institutes time limn explained, who, notwilli etudes* are of opinion that the subjects there to be learned are of no use in practical life, and are therefore anwority of their attention ; which is an error (outdid, I comeeive, on the false notion that theoretical knowledge is not sar viceable to the operative inectiesic. 3. There is in this country as immense number of opera tives that may be deemed somewhat intellectual, who are actuated by as opinion of the comparative merits of the pro em:lnge of mechanics' institutions, which in my view is most seriously se roneoms. The clam I allude to ass poli ticians. They conceive all their duadvan.ages and griev ances to result from politio.l causes, and refer whatever they c insider wrens to the misgovernment of the country ; end they accordingly think that I °Weal knowledge and political exertions are of the greatest possible importance, while science and literature are comparatively trifling and worth less. 4. There is another clue of society who withhold from end object to mechanics' institutions on the ground of, what appears to me to b., religious prejudice. They alege that they are erablishments detrimental to the prosperity tit religion ; tnat their tendency is to puff up with pride of human know ledge, to lead the soul from Ood, and often to involve the mind in the whirlpool of infidelity. 6. Teem is a great number of individuals whom poverty prevents from participating in the benefits of mechanics' institutions ; some win would :gladly do so, bat cannot sure even the sixpence per week; and any others whn might, gerbille, afford that small sum, but are still hindered by mete r harriers than this,--such se their destitution of clothes wherein to appear decent led respectable, and their want of liberty from their employment. 6. There is another very largo class of society whine int estine ia life pr. elude the possibility of their joining such intitutes ; aa stsopoien, bakers, brewers, &c. 7. o.hers there are whose taste lens them to isstitutioas of a more exciting and amusing character, such as the thr. etre the free - and .easy, the hell-mak and the eoecert ; a teen which, in my °plaint, completely iocapecitwes them fur the quiet and sober siudire that ought to be pursued in r msechasice institution. All these classes I have contemplated as morally At to be members of institutions of the n a in question ; but there are ;Alien, in vast numbers, whose im morality may be justly considered as the reason why they are not found seeking useful knowledge. lam not aware that anthing could be done in regard to the general cha racter l ithe institution to which I belong that would render it more attractive. Its internal siperatiom could be made more efficient by an accession of room for the accommoda• tion of a larger camber et clams. I enquired whether he bad anything to add to the evidence given to Mr. Hill; and whether be bad any reasons for not attending of late a society to which he owed so mull. I also begged to be put in possu 'ion of his opinion as regards the general utility of Mechanics' Institutes to working men, and the cause of their decline in popularity. In reply he gave me the following narrative of his late experience : " I did nut leave off attending the London Me chanics' Institute from any cause prejudicial to the institute, but because I had determined to employ all my leisure hours in giving two of my children sound musical instruction. I think that these institutes, as they are carried on, are more adapted to the conve nience of tradesmen than to that of working men. I have been a member of the institute from its founda tion, and was present at the preliminary meetings at the Crown and Anchor. At that time, Lord Brougham, the Doke of Sussex, and other noblemen, took active interest in mechanics' institutes. Sir Francis Burdett subscribed a thousand guineas to the London Mechanics'. About fourteen years ago the subscription was raised from 245. to 261.; and I should think this rise had the effect of excluding many mechanics. I won a prise of ten guinea', which WSJ presented to me by the Duke of Sussex, for a Prise Essay on " The Lever." I had made ooesider able advance in algebra and geometry before joining the institute; but I owe a great deal to it. I learnt French there under M. Merlet, who is now a professor at University College. Ido not find that mechanics generally pursue a steady coarse of instruction in mechanics' institutes; the fact is, after • long day's work, they want amusement. But I think these in stitutes are beneficial, bee wee they imprees a man with • muse of the value of learning; and if they do not do himallthegood which it is possible to derive from them, at iont they determine him to give his children a better sissatton than he himself has bad. I subscribed to the London Mechanics' for the space of eighteen years : I am now an honorary member. I have given warns of instruction to the members at vari ous times, in grammar, geometrical drawing, and perspective. Six months gratuitous service uan in structor entitles a member to honorary membership. I conceive that the modelling class is the meet useful to working men ; it is always well attended. Some time ago I proposed to deliver a course of lectures on education in music to the members; but the committee rejected my proposal because I did not offer to include a concert in illustration of my views. Our experi ence has always tended to prove the necessity of having purelj amusing lecture. It would not be possible to supply any refreshment to the members in the present premises of the London Institute: every nook and corner is occupied." My next informant is a working optician, living in Pentonville. His statement is intelligent and inte resting: it ran thus:— " All the facts which 1 shall give you shall be such facts that I def 7 contradiction. I have been ow : netted with the institute close upon twenty years, if not quite twenty. I am, most certainly, a working man. Twelve hours a day, ever since I was fourteen years old—those have been the hours, clear of meal time : from six to eight will give two hours for meals. My trade is that of an optician—that is, making lenses for telescopes. I conceive that I have bens ti by my connexion with the institute. In the first place, it has been the menu tTi ; of introdasins roe into that society of men I amid not hays joked bet for sash an invaluable inedtution se this is, some of whom are my &Meerut Mends and well-wishers —mr willing to give is. their advice and assistance, whatever may be the eirenastasses of theme—in some came a few orders. I know working men who attribute their worldly semis to their connexion with the institute. One young maa, who was only teceiving from six tees to eighteen shillings per week, by persevering in We study of architectural drawing, obtained a mites tins, within a tow yesze, of 1001. per annum. Ano ther young Rao, who worked as a carpenter at the bench, by the same coarse of study, lett the beach and took to the desk as a draughtsman. "Another instance. A young man, a tailor, studied in the same Wass, became a draughtsman, and a few weeks back I had the satisfaction of seeing his name amongst a list of others with the title in the parish-book of ' gentlemen,' candidates for guardians of the poor. " One more cue. Two persons, profiting by the in struction received in the chemistry class, have ob tained first-rate standing in their business. " I could give several iutances of the benefit de rived from the study of the Preach language to per sons now settled @broad, and some at home. I do not attribute the datum of members to the increase of subscription. My opinion as to the cause of the institution not prospering so well as it did is that it arises from there being so many institutions, that the novelty has ceased. Apia, the facility now offered by the railways for short trips into the country ; and last, not least, the cheap Moraines and immense num ber of plum of entertainment. Ido think that the sale of cheap refreshmente would be a benefit both to the institute and subscribers in general, personally knowing some that hav e l e ft f rom th e want of such a convenient*. " I thinktie institute might be carried on with 800 subscriber., if it were not for the heavy mill stone clogging our heels. The rent alone is 2291. a year ; then consider rater, &c. I do not agree with you that the existence of the heavy debt arises from a false economy or bud management, for when our num ber was much higher we were compelled to have a librarian as well as a secretary, those two officers re ceiving 1701. a year, while at the present time the duties of both are performed by one at 901., thereby saving 801. per annum. "As to the lectures being sufficiently practical, I de not think they are so, but it happens unfortunately whenever the committee engage scientific or mecha nical lecturers they are the worst attended. As to the working men having punned a steady course of study in the institute, I can confidently say I know many, both formerly and at the present time. I do not see how the convenience of working men could be more studied is the classes or the lectures, as neither commence before eight to half-past eight in the even icg. The classes best attended are the arithmetic, architectural, ornamental and drawing classes gene rally ; the French clue, elocutior, and music classes, also the writing class. The most useful I consider the architectural and ornamental, arithmetic, writing, French, and practical geometry, all of which are well and regularly attended. Many working men, to the best of my belief, attend regularly." 1 have given the foregoing statement verbatim, conceiving this course to be at once the faired and moat satisfactory to the members of the institute to which it refers, and the most convincing to the general public.

Considerable progress, we understand, has been made In the preparations for submitting to public oompeti tne the design for the vitae building that will be required to carry out this undertaking on a scale commensurate with the dignity of the mains. We have reason to believe that the following information on the subject will be found to be substantially norrect. The building will be 2,300 feet long, tether more than 400 feet anon, and the rooted area will probably extend to about 900,000 square feet, or upwards of 20 acres. In the centre of the so u th front, opposite Prince's-gate, will be placed the principal entrance and offices. There will be three other great outran's* in the centre of the other side of the building. Gangways, 48 feet wide, clear and unin terrupted excepting by seats, will connect the en trances, and at the intersection of these main lines it is proposed to form a grand circular hall for sculpture, 200 feet in diameter. Considerable spaces surrounding the old trees (which must be carefully preserved) will be fitted up with refreshment rooms surrounaiog ornamental gar den, with fountains, &c. The vast area destined to be filled with the products of all climes will be covered with remarkably simple iron roofing, of 48 feat span, running from teed to end of the building, supported by hollow iron columns resting on brick piers, and covered very probably with boarding and slate. The extent of the roof covering the main will be 96 feet. The lowest line of the main roofing will be 24 feet high, and the deer height of the central gangway will be about 50 feet. The floor will, fee by far the greater portion of tha area, be formed of boarding laid on joist. and sleeper walls. The external enclosure. will in all cases be con structed of brick. The light will be principally derived from skylights. The central hall will be a polygon of 16 aides, tour of which will open into gardens reserved around it. Its main walls will be in brick, and about 60 feet high. The covering of this rplindid apartment will be in iron, and probably domical. As the conditions with regard to time, &c., must neces easily be most stringent, contractors will, no &alit, be required to deposit as actual sum of money as security for the fulfilment of their respective contract.. The whole building must be finished and delivered up by January 1, 1851. Contractors will, we understand, be required to tender on two ',stem', one involving a resumption, after the termina tion of the exhibition, of property in the materials supplied by them, end the other proceeding on the supposition that ber Majesty's commissioners become bone fide purchasers, and tele* the risk of a subsequent disposal of the building upon themselves. In the arrangements of the design it has been the aim tr specify such materials and combinations as will be likely to be most valuable after the s xpiration of their temporary em ployment in the building, so that the cost for use and waste," as it is technically called, may be the least possible ; concession will, however, be permitted, and indeed invited, to suggest and tender for the use of other materials which may probably in their opinion prove more economical. From the varied and aisticct nature of the wenk and the simplicity of the plan, a division of the contracts into the two classes best suited to the dif ferent plants and connections of engineering and architectural contractors will be quite feasible, and upon this basis it is more than probable that &coarse' specifications for the sewage, the central hall, and a portion of the iron roofing, for other portions of roofing nod walling, and for the central ofilees and respective sets of refreshment rooms, &c., will be prepared. From what we have ascertained of the actual state of the drawings, &c., we have little doubt that another week will not pan. away without same decided step being taken by thc commtites in inviting the attention of the vast body of iced. ligent and able contractors whom spirit and enterprise have cone so much to elevate the scientific and structural character of the public works of Greet Britain. ST. ANN'S SOCIETY. Yesterday the anniversary festival of the Royal Ae like of St. Ann's Sxiety took place at the London Tavern, Bishopegate-steeet. Viscount FIIILDING in the chair, supported by Hon. and Rev. F. Powys, Mr. Sheriff Nicoll, J. W. Freshfield, H.q., High Sheriff for Surrey. Rev. Dr. Croly, Dr. Mayo, Rev. 1). Laing, F.R.S., Jas. Hors lake, Esq., R. Halswell, Reg F.R S., P. Hardy, Rol., F.R.S., R. Vensittut Neale, - Esq., &c., numbering in all about 170 gentlemen. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to St. Ann's Society," stated that the in stitution had now existed many years. Few people would have thought that an institution which ori tiontod in a small day school in the year 1709 anchor the charitable auspices of a few private indivi loafs belonging to ti.e Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge), and which at that time numbered only 30 boys and 30 girls, should before the year 1150 have sent out into the world upwards of 2,000 persons. Yet such was really the came, and it afforded a gratifying proof of the charitable feeling which existed in this country. In his (the chair man's) opinion, this institution had a double claim on the charity of Englishmen, inasmuch as it not only afforded as sistance to the child, but also to the parents. He was happy to say that the number of children in the asylum had been gradually increasing of lats. that the fends were also im proving, and that the usefulness of the institution was becom ing more and more extended as its objects became better known and appreciated. In proposing the present tout, he thought it neciseary to remark that there were many guests at the table who owed their education to this society, whilst on the other hand, he grieved to say that there were at this moment children in the asylum whose parents had formerly been benefecten of the institution.— The children at present receiving their education in the asylum having pawed round the room, one of the boys delivered an address from the 114 v. Robert Montgomery's poem of " Better Days." A report was laid before the eompany, from which it ap. pissed that during the recent fearful visitation of our lead, not a single case of that most distressing malady occurred amongst the many children under the Sower ' a charge in its asylum, and the present as well as gene ral state of health so remarkably prevailing there demanded acknowledgments no leis fervent and done. The driest@ of that direful Manus must ne ' assearily increase the number of claims upon this charity, bat the committee feel well assured that no special appeal used be made ea that aeomant. It ia a source of gratification that few children have for many years left the Society's charge without at leas the offer of an eligible situation; it le ens of peculiar gratelatioa that of the six children admit ted instantly and gratuitously to the full benefits of this imamate, on the rein of a somewhat similar one is Paris, -ens only, the youngest, reaming nadir its charge.

This society had its annual concert last night at the Hanover-square Rooms. It is a valuable institu tion, well deserving of public encouragement and support. Its object is to extend the benefits derived from the Royal Society of Musicians to those female members of the profession who cannot share the advantages of that society; and its afi'sirs are managed by a committee of ladies, with great pru dence and success. A concert of this description is hardly a subject for criticism. The performers give their services gratuitously, and the managers, conse quently, have little control in the selection of music. Much novelty cannot be expected, and the singers naturally choose what they are in the habit of performing and can execute with the smalle t trouble to themselves. The principal Rature of the concert was Mendelssohn's Concerto in 0 minor, the most beautiful tf all his compositions f r the pianoforte, played by M. Charles Kant u Mendelssobn himself would have played it. Halle has to superi ras a pion st, and he has the ra e modesty of abstaining front public displays of his talents as a com poser. Thoroughly conversant with the works of the great masters, and deeply imbued with their spirt, he is, of all our pianists, the most consci entious and faithful interpreter of their ooncepttoni. His performance of Mendelssohn's concerto was de lightful. The grand allegro was executed with won derful fire and energy, and the lovely slow move ment was like an Italian song warbled by the voice 9f Sontag. Piatti also played& solo on the violoncello— • fii.e exhibition of tote and execution; and Blagrove performed a polonaise of i:ayseder with great light ness and brilliancy. The vocal music, such as we have already described, was sang by a host of per formers, including Miss Birch, Mrs. Noble, Min P. Horton, Miss Louisa Pyne, Mr. Benson, Mr. W. Seguin, Mr. Sims Reeves, and a good many others. The room was full, and the audience seemed much gratified by the entertainment. NEW SAVINGS BANK. BILL. TO 1111 . 11ITOR OF Tl■ DAILY NEWS. SIR, —The bill latelj introduced for 'Ye amendment of the law for savings banks has led to much discussion, sad will inevitably encounter mach opposition. The friends of these valuable national institutions are much gratified at the real interpositioa of government security for the de posits; but on the other hand they are alarmed and indeed disgusted at use proposed swamis.' interference with the interim! 'management of the hanks. The costessplated radical changes would create an entirely new machinery, not at all required for the objects proposed, and would entail an unnecessary large annual expense upon the country, which could be saved without loss of security to the govern ment. A par liamentary return shows that there are 521 beaks in England, Wales, and Scotland. The late defalcations, which took place in the bank at Rochdale led the govern ment to cause a strict scrutiny to be made into the finan cial state of each bank in the kingdom ; and the result showed that irregularkies esuted in not more than sin cut of these 621 banks. woe tug on • wise and prudent principle, the country has all along afforded facilities to savings banks; and it is right that government should interfere to prevent for the future irregularities in any banks. But such interference ought to be ands in a spirit of strict justice to all parties interested, whether trustees or officer., and without the creation of more government officers than security to the country roguing. In any practical legislation for such na tional institutions, it should be forgotten that6ls banks have in thirty-three years safely accumulated upwards of 2G minima of deposits. Tee government are to interpose their security by giving additional powers to the commissioners for the reduction of the national debt, aad for the first time proposing to name officers to act in the internal management of the banks. The powers of the commissioners are to be very treat. They may prescribe the form of keeping the bank accounts, and regulate the times for transacting the business. They can require whatever return they wish to be certified by the trustees of the banks and by &octane. The auditors must also certify their examination of the confarmity of the de- ' positore• pass-boeks with the books of the betik. But the ' moot isspormat and all-sufficient check to be furnished to the commissioners is • daily return, by one of the officers ap pointed by them and the secretary of the bank, of the daily receipts and payments on account of depositors,—by that m acs ascertains(' from day to day, without any possibility of error, the exact liabilities of every bank in the kingdom. I Let the government select one competent officer to discharge such a duty, and all additional espensive legislation is • wanton expenditure of public money. But farther, the so vernment are to appoint inspectors, with plenipotentiary powers, to examine the &Heirs of every beak. With such powers of regulation and inspection by men practically acquainted with the management of 841•111$11 banks, no lots should ever onus to depositors or the country. But the government is not to be satisfied with these moot ample guarantees. They are to insist upon usurping the virtual control and internal management of each bank, by the appointment of an cfficer, to be styled treasurer. Both auditor. and treasurers are not required. Buck excessive caution is quite uncalled for, can only be promoted by per sons ignorant of the working of savings banks, and would in r.aliy take from the depositors • hap annual sum in the Asps of • reduction of interest. This should act be done unless imperatively n . With premien bankers the general argument is =ltle that three new officials (two of them appointed by government) are altogether super tlu .us. From the nature of the duties to be performed by them, they could be more effectually discharged by assigning the whole duties to one officer instead of two; and that also wi - bout interfering la • derogatory and unnecessary manner with the internal management of the banks by the presort trustees and managers. These views could be distinctly proved before a select committee empowered to receive evi dence. The advisers of the Chancellor of the Exchequer must have been theoretical, not practical men—it is believed ',soya', not beakers. The proposed sew legislation should not alone be examined on the merits of the scheme, but should be considered with reference to the general state of the existing instantiome. The new °teen would In feet entirely control and supersede the present trustees sae maanagen ' which would be an unjust and unwise policy unwise, because it would narrow 'he scope of these institutions, which, although suvtaiaed at wee annual expense to the country, yet return it one bun deed-fold by creating prudent and saving subjects ; unjust, Nieuwe, without general fault being proved or even alleged, it would injure the officers of basks whose usefulness has been promoted by their exertions. The elating injustice of such a i oroesedine is palpable, and should not be Stained unless ts absolute r eeemay las proved in order to obtain se curity to government. Not thi slightest objection ought to be made to every C. misery guarantee. The trustees of every bank will cheerfully oo•operat• with the government to provide every security. But it is winter:Med, by men long aequabeed with the minagennest of savings bank., that the proposed multiptisa ti of wmeramest damn is as unneces.sry as it will be costly. Bo thorough a change as the present bill would eff.et should not be at mos arbitrarily made withoutrielitie rate etaminatim before a-eempetent tribunal. It is obvious that • committee of the whole house is not a d.t place for /undoing the details involved in each an inquiry. It should be made by a seism committee. There the general *- sent of saving. banks amid be shown to have effected t he true object of these institutions, sad that irreguly in this kingdom is quite ezesptional; while Sil• pro posed bill, In order to correct that, is quite general in its application. The innocent and guilty are to be treated as equally criminal. Is it possible test, without good cause being skews, soma most ma insist upon such an injaaties If the government were originating • new scheme, and also interposing their security, ti would be right that {key should take the real nuinsqesteat; but when, after a lapse of sore than thirty years, they only sow dies it nearer, to amuse • partial management, sad really undertake re. spinsibility, their measures of inteeforease should = l 7 b• such a. are indiepesselsle Sae prowesese the country from lee.

If the following intelligence, published by the Freeman of this morning, be fully borne out by the result, it will materially affect the interests of th e Queen's colleges i n Ireland, and most probably lead to the suppression of at least one of them. We have good authority (says the Freeman) r.r stein( that his Oran the Primate has recently received a most im portant and decisive letter from Rome on the subject of the government colleges. We have been given to under stand, that according to the interpretation this letter gives to the late rescripts, catholic clergymen cannot hold office in, or °therapies be instrumental in alvanciog the project of the Gluten's colleges. We believe its content. are to be officially communicated to the Irish bishops, and that thou bishops are to instruct the laity against sending their yoath fa edit.. cation to the condemned colleges. Mr. Fagan has announced his intention of retiring from the representation of Cork as soon as the Irish Franchise Bill shall have become law. He says, in his address to his isonstitnents, which appears in the Cork papers,— Hsu nay experience in parliament induced me to believe that my continuing in the representation would have con ferred the slightest advantage on my fellow-citizens or my ems. entry, I would willingly have submitted some years longer to the personal sacrifices I was making. But, alas! the truth is, that neither so humble an individual u I am, nor aty other Irish mun'or, can do anything in parliament single-handed. To be of any value, you must either sup port the Minister is all his ." mares, and then you may get a few crumbs of patronage for your constituents, or yon must joie cordially the opposition. You must belong to one or other of the parliamentary parties. The Irish mem bers can never form a distinct party in the house. There is no principle of cohesion amongst them ; and when they enter parliament, they instinctively, with Sew exceptions, tali into the ranks at either side at the house. The mere independent member acting without concert with others can do n 'thing, and if he were to continue sacrificing health and fornne to the end of his existence, he would • fleet no good at all commensurate to his own personal sacrifi es. The extensive estates of Mr. Deane Freeman, situate in the counties of Cork, Kerry, Limerick, and Tipperary, and yielding a gross rental of .bout 3,7001. per annum, were set up tot sale yesterday,b fore the commissioners, in 23 lots. Tne Cork property, consisting of eight lots, was first altered, and the competition for each was carried on with cousider able spirit. One only was postponed for want of an ade quate bid. The other seven realised the gross amount of IO 8901. The Kerry property, cuneisting of two lots, beoustitt 2,3501. The Limerick property, con•isting of leads and im propriate tithe rent charges, produced 16,67-51. The sale of • tow lots of the imprupriate tithe rent charge was post posed. A portion of the Coritestates of Sir James Cotter was nest wt up, in two lots. which remised respectively the same of 4001. aad 4,0001. The third sale was of the estates of Mr. Tagaial O'Brien, situate in the counties of Galway and Roscommon, the first of which was bought in trust for the Earl of Clancarty at 4,2251. The sum of 3,7001. was bad for the Roscommon property, but the commissioners ad journed the sale to the 7th of July. A properly in Tipp.. racy was neat put up in sin lot•, fur which 1,6101 was offered, but ae this was also deemed below the adequate value the court postponed the sale genera.ly to the 9ilt of July. Ths last sale of the day was a pro; erty in the county of Cavan, yielding a prefit rent of Ib9l. i.s 9d. yearly, iutle. pendent of 9t acres .'f land at present untenanted, which it was considered would let at 581. per annum. It sold fir 3,3201. The proceedir.gs disl.seLteassinste until an advanced hour of the evening. CLERICAL RRRRRR MINTS. Rev.

THE SUICIDE AT THE LONDON BRIDGE TAVERN.— Yesterday evening, the inquiry, which has been twice adjoutoed wee resumed and eoneladed by Mr. Payne, at the Harrow, Borough market. relative to the death of a female, about thirty years of age, of very respaetable appearance, who committed suicide at the Loadon-bridge Tavern Iva Thursday fortnight with sulphuric acid.—The Coroner inquired of inspector Yates what further iafornuition he had to lay before the jury 2—Smith, 495 H, who had b. en appointed by the in spector to find out the deceased's relatives, said that be had not succeeded, and that he did not think he should obtain any clue.
