We like by with disdain ; and we call upon the advocates of the new system to meet us in the fair houourabie field of deoate. Let them prove that regard for religion" can only be " pretended" requires that the study of theology should constitute essential part of the education of youth, and that they have . regard for it who purpose to discard it altogether. can •be substantiated, we will admit that our objec- unfounded, though we will never subsetibe to the scandalous and malevolent imputations which those objec _ have called forth. An argument, however, is at tempted in defence of the new system of education without religious instruction. It is said that " the new University, not being a mere nursery for the clergymen of any particular sect, but calculated for the wants of a population of every variety of religious creed, cannot, of course, possess a theo logical faculty." If, indeed, a knowledge of religious truth were of no importance but to clergymen, it might be as well that theology were not taught where clergymen certainly *ill not be educated, but the assumption is wholly false. The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are not " mere nurseries for clergymen," nor is it true, that because there may be some differences as to doctrine or discipline, a theological faculty is "of course" inad missible, In the fundamental principles of Christianity all classes of Christians are agreed; and as well might it be pretended that no science should be taught in the new " University" in which the Professors have differed from each other, as that theology should be wholly excluded, because in every particular article of faith all men may not be in a perfect state of conformity. The principal recommendation of the new metropolitan seminary is the cheap rate at which instruction is to be afforded. This advantage, we believe, is greatly over stated: the charge, we are informed, will amount to about 301. a-year ; whilst at Oxford or Cambridge, the expense for lectures on every subject, not excepting religion, does not exceed half that sum. It is true that a collegiate edu cation will altogether amount to five times as much as the expense of the lectures at the intended London Aca demy. But board, lodging, and apparel are included in the fermer case, while in the latter instruethm alone is all the Students are to receive. To those parents who live in the immediate vicinity of the new Institution, and who may be satisfied with an education for their sons without religious instruction of any kind, the embryo scat of learning may have irresistible attractions. But fcr those, whether Churchmen or Dis senters, who wish their childrim to be good Christians as well as good scholars, or whose residence is more remote, the new "University" will be no place to be selected for imbuing youth with the principles by which their man hood is to be guided. Again, we say, let the Dissenters have an Academy or S:minary, or University (if they arc pleased so to term it) of their own, and let Churchmen have another; bat let theohwy he a prominent featut eof both. Let not the CRC.. ceasors of a WATTS and a DODDRIDGE amongst the one, and of a Bannon , and a SHERLOCK amongst the other, unite in giving countenance to a plan, which, pretending to regard religion as supremely important, leaves it out of consideration altogether. A strange misrepresentation of a late speech of Mr. Ca NNI NG appears in a Morning Paper of yesterday. The Right lion. Secretary, after explaining the circumstances under which he had judged it proper to decline receiving the Minister from Buenos Ayres, added that " a partner in a highly respectable mercantile house in the City had been appointed Consul by that State, and had in right of that appointment called on him (Mr. CANNING) and tendered his credentials, offering then to enter upon the discussion of points of the highest importance. "But," the Right Hon. Gentleman continued, " he felt it his duty most positively to refuse entering into any negotiation with that gentleman on the subject of his mission. Ile could not acknowledge hint in any diplomatic character whatever. Besides which, that gentleman was the very person of all others from whom it would be most needful to conceal the particular information which would be disclosed in the course of that discussiun into which be proposed to outer." Mr. CA NNI NG'S objection was simply on principle that mercantile men ought not to be appointed Consuls, espe cially hem the new American States, with which our re lations are more of commerce than of polities. The British Consuls abroad have been strictly forbidden to enter into any mercantile pursuit. If they should be fewid transgressing this irjunctien they will imme diately be removed. The grounds of Mr. CANNING'S ob jection arc clear and intelligible. Every body must approve them. 'flee new States have undoubtedly erred in appoint ing mercantile men, however respectable, as their Consuls. But Mr. CANNING was careful to avoid casting any reflec tion on the individuals who had received these appointments. He spoke of them, as they deserved to be treated, as persons "highly respectable." In a Morning Paper of yesterday,' however, there is a quotation, purporting to be from "Mr. • CANNING'S speech in the House of Commons, July 5, 1823," in Which the Right Hon. Gent. is represented to have said that, "with respect to the case to which he had just alluded, he would only say, that if there was one Man in the City of London he would not trust with the intentions of Government towards South America, it would be the per sons appointed by the States of that Continent." The writer who selects this passage afterwards makes a general attack on the agents of the New States, who, he says, "do nothing but injure and disgrace those who have placed confidence in them." He adds, "To what an excess must not their base practices have reached, when the Minister for Fagot Allsirs, one of the most astute men of the age, roused to indignation, stands w 2 in his place in the House of Commons, and denounces the South American Agents en maw, Envoys, Consuls and all, without one redeeming exception, as a pack of jobbers and tricksters that he can hold no communication with ; nun who have sold their official influence, and prostituted the name of their country to the schemers of the many con spiracies got up in London to defraud the public." No misrepresentation was ever more groundless or inex cusable than this. Mr. CA NNING, so far from treating the South American convoys and Consuls as " a pack of jobbers and tricksters," spoke in well deserved terms of personal rerpect concerning these to wham he had occasion to refer. lie objected on principle, and we think justly, to the employment of British merchants as Consuls from the new States in this country, when there was no resident Mi nister, because it would in such cases be necessary sometimes to enter upon discussions which it would be peculiarly de sirable to conceal from them as being actually,engaged in mercantile pursuits. But there was not the 'Ugliest inten tion on the part of Mr. CANNING to throw a shadow of suspicion on the characters of any of the " South American Agents." , . 11 : 0 1 L IS I ii I, 1 . 1 t il 1 11 j -• 1 i' 1 1 111111& _-_-_-__________ .—__..-_-_-_,.,._ - _gt. _ tnankina PRICKS til , BRITISH STOCKS YESTERDAY. 3 per Cent.

The Drapeau Diane, a journal •v!:A is understood peculiarly to speak the sentiments of NI. nr tr ar a, throws some doubt on the reported recog titian of the independence of Hayti. Considering the po sition of that island in the American Archipelago, the ques- Cat:, in the opinion of the writer, becomes " entirely European." He admits, however, that " nothing is more to be desired for the mother country than an honourable .and advantageous arrangement with St. Domingo. But," Le adds, " such an arrangement can only be the result of a great system, in which other interests would be combined. 'l".te treaty will require much consideration, and above all, a !toed understanding between the parties interested." The oti:"r papers contain no allusion to the subject. like Journal dr Parii states that the Austrian Govern ment is meditating a reduction of the interest of its public debt, from to 4 per cent. Negotiations, it is said, have been already opened nit!, Messrs. ROTIIIICII/L1), and other capitalists, for a loan to pay off the dissentients. The Morning- CArGaide labours with great zeal to justify the exclusion of religious instruction from the projected " London University." If any doubts arc stated as to the propriety of this new plan of education, the party who ventures to state them is charged with " hatred to the education of the body of the people," and the public are told,that " as it would not be altogether prudent to display UM real motives of the dislike, a regard for religion is pre- tin', TUESDAY EVENING. The commercial interest is s till deprived of foreign intelligence tended.l' This is the mode in which those who, par ex from all quartets, and consequently there is much inactivity celienee, style themselves " liberals," reply to the argu in every department of foreign trade. India produce is not so much ments of their opponents. It is easy for any reckless or In request this day as it au during last wcelc, though there Is still unprincipled man to Impute base and corrupt motives to; a fair demand fur . .Sugars at the late improvement In their value. his antagonist ; and, t h ere f ore, t h e general judgment The mast eminent acznts anticipatMg a farther improvement in the 416.: value of sugar, none was offered this day for sale, unless some par eels of which the disposal was rendered necessary from &cum. stances. monied men holding their property in this article firmly for a further advance in its value. Rum remains in much the same situation as it was lux week. The extreme priors arc 3a. 3d. to Is. U. per gallon. Fine quality finds a consumption at the highest price; but at is very doubtful whether inferior qualities can be profitably disposed of to rectiners, and there is consequently only ►+demand for this description on speculation. The best qua lity of rum, with the protecting duty of Is. 3d. per gallon added to its current price, is at present dearer than the best qualities of neutral corn spirits, and consequently it cannot be used to ad vantage by the rectifier, and it is impossible to conceive bow low quality of Rum can in any degree be presumed to pro. duce rectified spirits in any manner equal in quality to the pure spirit distilled from grain. The future value of Rum, however, entirely depends on the future prices of spring corn. lithe harvest be fine and abundant, low quality of Rum will find no consumption amongst rectifiers, but should the barley crop be not large nor of sus perior quality, its value must preclude the competition of corn spirit with spirit produced by West India planters out of the refuse of canes, after ell the valuable ma•ter luta been extracted from them in the character of sup,. Speculators in Runts calculate on a short', barley crop, and they have, at all events, a prospect that their hopes will not be entirely disappointed, for on light lands, where the best barleys grow, appearances are at present by no means favourable. On the Stock Exchange a great deal of business has again been done this day. Consols opened at 91F.,i for the next settlement, and advanced to 91t1. Some heavy sales, however, afterwards caused them to decline to 914, and theclosing price was the same as the opening one. Money is again scarce, for which it is impossible to assign avy cause. Exchequer 11.11* declined iron 465. to 335. pre. mium—sorne supposing that sales of them were efiected with the view to place the proceeds of them in money stock, as being a more favourable investment at the present price; °then that scarcity of money alone could arose this sadden decline in their value. There is a coasideralat demand this day for the securities of the new American Republics, and this demand fur them tuts been more respectable sources than during tinny months. Celombian bonds are )1 and 'Mexican bonds / per cent, dearer than they were yester- day. The favourable news from Greece has caused an improve ment of one per cent in Greek strip. In other descriptions of Euro pean securities no alteration can be noted. At present there is much inactivity in t►te market for the shares of public Associations. So many attempts ate made to bring be. fore the public names for Joint.stoek Companies, without any other qualification. that the absurdity of them is hourly opening the eyes of capitalists, and it is expected that soon nothing of this description will find patrons, unless it be founded on correct prin. cirles, and unless it be supported by gentlemen of known honour and respectability. There ere many of these Associations whose prospects are fair, if not brilliant; but they are injured by others, which cannot survive more than one settlement of a time account, and which have no other object in view than to pay a few hundred pounds to those who have nerve enough to expose their characters to such unwarrantable purposes. The evil is, however, rapidly pro. ducing its own cure. COLOMIIIA.—In one of the recent numbers of the Con-1 stiturional of Bogota, now lying before us, we observe a list of persons eligible to serve as Jurors for that department for the year 1625, from which we conclude that the system, of Trial by Jury is now in active operation in that country. The seamen at New Orleans have turned out for an ad vance of wages, wanting to have '.20 to 2:s dollars per month in lieu of 16, the current rate.—New Orleans Paper, May 21. We have great pleasure in noticing, by an advertisement in an Exeter Paper, that on a requisition signed by the Bishop of Exeter, the Dean, Precentor, Archdeacon, and, Chancellor of that diocese, and several gentlemen of the highest respectability, a meeting of the inhabitants of the, city of Exeter has been convoked by the Mayor " for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of form ing a Committee in aid of the Society for promoting the Enlargement and Building of Churches and Chapels. If the example set by this learned and excellent Prelate were generally followed, the Society would be able to continue those valuable labours which at present, for want of funds, it is compelled to suspend. EXCISE IN IRELAND.—By the returns printed by order of Parliament, it appears that the gross main of the re venue of Excise in Ireland, (luring the year ending fah of Jan. 1/101 was X 475.732 1822 2.007.234 ion 1,674,40.1 1624 1.7311,346 laz - 1,964,073 YELLOW FE v La.—One of the most important questions for the public health, is to ascertain whether the yellow fever be or be not contagious. A very interesting fact has recently been mentioned on this subject in a Memoir pre sent... 4 to the Academy of Sciences by M. Costa. In the presence of that learned assembly, M. Costa, who is of ' opinion, supported by Messrs. Lassis and Lasserre, that the yellow fever is not contagious, has made a proposition which proves how strongly he is convinced of the truth of the cause he sustains. Ile desired, Ist, that the 31inister for the Interior should give orders to have brought from the Antilles, where the yellow fever generally rages, clothes belonging to the persons who may have fallen victims to that disease; 2d, that these clothes should be deposited in boxes, hermetically sealed and sent to Marseilks, or some whir part ; :Id, and lastly, that individuals in perfect health should clothe themselv( s in these habiliments. ; and wear them for forty (lays under the most strict supermtendance of a commission, composed ut• those physicians who may be most convinced of the doctrine of contagion. Well aware of the difficulty of finding men disposed to go through this experiment, and desirous to show his agree ment in the opinion of Dr. Lassis, he proposes himself along with Dr. Lasserre to be the objects of the experiment. —Journal des Debuts. The Emperor Alexander has resolved that his Am bassador to the Papal See shall distribute the sum of 5,000 rubles annually among the best young Russian artists studying at Rome. They are to copy the best paintings of the Roman school. To indemnify the Crimea for the asters which it has experienced, and to promote trade, the duties on raw hides and pot-ashes have been considerably reduced, for this year, in the ports of the Euxine and the Sea of Asoff, and in Bessarabia. The gold sand, of which large quantities are yearly obtained at and near Tekater inenberg, in Russia, contains, according to the latest ac counts, a metal hitherto unknown in Russia, which ap pears to be platina. Du nu N.—At a Meeting of the Catholics of St. Audeon's Parish, on Saturday last, some opposition was made to a vote of thanks to Mr. O'Connell, on account of his -" advocacy of the wings." Mr. O'Connell, in returning thanks, stated that he never would have approved of the Bill fur pension ing the Clergy, if it had not received the sanction of two of the most venerable and pious of the Roman Catholic Prelates. Ile also declared that he would never again firing forward or support such a measure, as he now felt convinced its ciliTt would he to retard, rather than advance, the Catholic iCause. This declaration was received with much applause; and the Meeting, having returned thanks to the Chairman, separated. • The Branch of the Bank of Ireland established at Clon mel commencAl business on Monday, discounting at four per cent. The Provincial Banking Company Bill having received the Royal Assent, nine branches of that establishment will be forthwith opened by the Directors, in the principal cities amid towns of Ireland. Sir Harcourt La‘s has addressed a letter to the Protest ants of Ireland, charging them, as they value his past services, and look forward to his future support, not to have any public procession on the ensuing 12th of July.

On his death, when his papers were examined, a list of names was dis covered, both of males and females, who had suffered in the American revolutionary war, to whom he had been in the habit of granting allowances to the amount of r,7,000/. annually through the hands of his banker in Lontlun, the only per son in the secret. Even the poor pensioners themselves did not know from whom their supplies Caine. When the present Duke obtained a knowledg4or this fact he exclanned," dds is a legacy left me bi my rather, and it shall be paid." Every individual who had thus lived on his father's bounty was immediately informed by the Duke's cimrrassioner of his Grace's determination, and they have received to this 'day their usual allowance.—British Tiavelh!r. It 'will give our readers pleasure to learn, that Sir W. Curtis is in excellent health. The worthy Baronet is at St. Petersburgh, and, with his friend Lord Willoughby, dined with the Empress Dowager a few days pre%ioua to the last communications from him. We understand that Mr. William Wellesley Long Pole has lately returned from the continent, and is at present in London. Mrs. 11rellesley Long Pole has, with her children, been fur some lime living entirely apart from her husband, and in a state of seclusion front all public society. We understand that Mr. It. W. Hay has been appointed Under Secretary of S:ate in the Colonial Department. The increase which has taken place in the business of that De partment renders it necessary to replace it on the same }Willy , on which it stood prior to 1516, when there were two Under Secretaries. Dr. Birkbeck is adding to his public services, by under taking to Mite a great and magnificent work, dtsplaying the useful arts anti manufactures of Great Britain, si milar to " lea Ails et Metiers" of France. Its publics-. tion will be commenced early next winter, and it wilt •be subdivided so as to accord with the means of purchasers of every degree of fortune. It will be strictly confined to the manufacturing arts, and each I ouch will he so fully il lustrat.d, that the engravings alone will employ fifty ar tiste during the three or four years of its progressive pub lication. Our literature and our national industry and genius hate long demanded such a preelection. Oatlands has afforded a SUC2C3SIOII of splendid gayeties for the last week. Mr. Ball I lughes has had several public breakfasts, which have been attended by numerous parties of the beau monde. Horse-racing, pony-racing, and other rural sports, bare affbrded a fund of amusement ; and the evenings have generally ended in dancing and music.

Extract of a private letter of the 26th ult. from Trieste: —" Captain Coinandiche, of the Austrian brig Omer°, ar rived here yesterday from Solonica. Ile was the witness of a battle that was fought near Cape Golonna, between the Greek squadron and that of Constantinople. Two Turkish frigates were burnt, another driven on shore at Zoo, and the crew was put to the sword. A few brigs and transport vcsaela mere captured, and the rest of the squa dron took refuge at Suda." The Milan Gazette states that the restored tranquillity of l'uvia has not again suffereil the slightest interruption, every thing having returned- to its usual course. The lec tures in the University proceeded in the customary man ner, and were attended with the greatest application and exactness, and the time fer the examinations approaching, the students were zealously preparing themselves for the occasion. FRENCH P.4/'ERs. [From the Drapeasi Ipso: of Sunday.] Same journals treat the question of the independence of St. Domingo with great levity. According to them the French Go vernment is at this moment negotiating with the power which governs that country, and the pecuniary conventions are said to he already fixed. Nothing eon be leu certain or authentic than the source of this news, and we think we muy be perniitted to contra. diet it without borrowing anything else titan the use of common sense. The pure and simple recognition of the independence of St. Domingo, abstractedly considered, is nothing, because it al , ready exists in fact, and every day weakens ancient rights, while it strengthens new ones ; but this concession acquires much more weight when we consider the position of this iland in the American Archipelago, and the inauence which such an act might have on the fate of other colonies. Taken in this point of view, it may be said that the question becomes entirely European. We may express wishes for the freedom of the Iberians, as we do for that of the Greeks. althom.;h there is a great difference be. tween the Turks and the French, and the Helenists and the negroes ; out the colonists of Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Cuba, Mar tinique, Porto Hien, St. Thomas, St. Bartholomew, and Antigua, have also an existence to preserve, and a property and a liberty whicb cannot be exposed to the dangers which might arise frost stich an event. To grant independence without restriction, and without any other advantages than a feeble indemnity in the way of compensation for property, is to sanction the appeal to force, and to open in a manner the way to insurrection. In this way the question presents a very simple combination, bus it becomes more complicated if we consider the greet interests which depend on it. St. Domingo is not the only colony which has detached itself from its mother country 4 one part of this island belongs to &pair. Mexico, Peru, and Brazil ate similarly situated. The isleud of Cuba is in a stole of ferment, and Jamaica, and other Europeon possessions in America, and even in Asia and Africa, mini. test a great inclination towards enfranchisement. For a period of forty years, during which England has recognized by treatit I the independence of the United States of America, no other power, however circumstanced, has renonneed Its rights Over distant pos sessiohs—would it then be becoming that a derogation from priori. plea which have hitherto remained unchanged, should be commerx ed by Prance, at the risk of what might result tram it. and fur a eoleny whose political importance is very much beneath that of South America, as respects Spain and Portugal ? Nothing. with. cut doubt, is more to be desired for the mother country than an ho. notirable and advantageous arrarigeniert with St. Domingo. But such arrangement can only be the result of a great system, in which other interests would be combined, and thus we may easily con ceive that much a treaty requires touch mature consideration; and, above all, &good understanding between the interested patties.

CHURCH ROBBERIES IN PARIS. The Court of Assizes at Paris was occupied on Saturday last with trials concerning the numerous and considerable robberies committed in several churches ; but to which the new law on seed. lege cannot be applied. as all the facts were committed before the law passed; besides which no sacred vessel has either been carried ()Woe profaned. The authors of the robbery at Suresne hare not yet been discovered. Antoine Guyard, a man a b out thirty years of age. and formerly subaltern of the Royal Guard, confesses himself to be the sole author of all the robberies, to the number of seven. Teen, which have been committed in the course of the year during the night, accompaided with the aggravating circumstaners of escalades , violence, and false keys. The fotlowing is a list of the churches in the environs of the capital which lie has robbed : The churches of Alone Valerien, 6everes, Belleville, Ville d'Array, Argenteuil, Poisey, Soisy-sous-Engliien, Aubervilliers, Bourget, and St. Gum ; in Paris itself the churches of Nntre. Dame des Vietoires. St. Gerinain l'Aaxerois, Sr. Scverin, Notre Dame de Lorette, Fillet; du Saint•Sacrement au Marais, and St, Sulpice. The lam-named church has twice been the t heatre Guyard'sAnisdectis ; the first robbery was committed by his entering a window in the Rue Palatine. lie then took two three-branched candelabra flora above the altar, and four of two branches from themillars of the nave. 'The second robbery took place in that part of the building called theiGenuan Chapel, from whence he took a bronze crucifix. three tab lets, two candlesticks of gilt copper, and two large curtains. From miler churches Guyard has taken cru cifixes of ivory. gilt and silvered brass candelabra, surplices. &c. At Argenteuil he took four silver hearts suspended to a statue of the Virgin. The whole of these articles were sold by the prisoner to dealers in curiosities and others, not put on their defence, except Therese Maingaut, who is accused of having received a part of the geode, knowing them to have been stolen. It was in his dello. titian that Guyard charged this woman, complaining bitterly that she and her husband had only paid him fifty francs for two beau. tiful tablets taken from St. Sulpiee, and which, according to his account, were worth one hundred crowns. lie asserts that misery alone drove him to commit these robberies, and because the robbing of churches offered greater facilities, and was attended with less danger. The woman Maingaut affirmt, that she was not aware of the articles having been stolen, and that she was not surprised to see church ornaments in the hands of Goyim], who pretended that he had several relations ir. the catirch, VIZ.-a sister, a nun ; and an uncle, a canon. The husband of this woman, who is a broker, has been already prosecuted for receiving stolen goods, and passing 1 false ( ai m M. de Peyronnet, Avocat-General, sustains the prosecution. The Counsel for the defendants are Alcssrs. Renaud and Clare:on Guya-11 thought proper to add a lone speech to his defence, which lasted mote than an hour, and which he delivered with astnnisiiing facility. • " Belonging," said he, " to an honourable family, but ruined by the Revolution, I was not born for crimes and whore% er may said, I was lillecl with religious ardour, and frequented the churches iu consequence. Having been reduced to a stave of frightful destitution, I one day went to the church of Notre-Dame des-Victoires, where the sight of a gilt crucifix tempted me. In short, I fell before the temptation of the evil spirit, and intrc. duced myself at night into the church ; long did I resist; I fainted on the steps of the altar, but at last my late co:tette:rd. and I consummated my crime. Since then I havasommittrd all the thefts with which you are acquainted, and of which I myself revealed a portion after my accusation. Never have I laid hands 'on any of the sacred vessels, althowth the opportunity offered and my cupidity incited me to it. Unacquainted with the theft et Suresne, I was recalled to myself by the touching discourse of nip Lord the Archbishop of Paris : it was then that 1 felt the hand of Coil and was delivered into the hands of justice." The Jury acquitted the woman Maingant, but found Guyard guilty, and condemned him to ten years' hard labour and ptiLl:c exposure. (The maxannne is twenty years.) 3fECKLE2VBURGII VESSELS.
