Now, it is in regard to this - proposition beyond all others, as we conceive, that the delayed or repressed antagonism, not merely of opposing politicians, but of conflicting religionists throughout the country, will, sooner or liter, be very energetically manifested. It is by that, far rather than by anything else that could have been suggested, that the people out of doors will be aroused and excited beyond measure. The suggestion embodied its thii amendment will be as the fluttering of a re - I flag in the eyes of ama I bull when it comes dis t:uctly within view of the Irish Orangemen. We question even whether it may not prove equally irritating when it comes to be fully appreciated, here in England, by the Lew Chum!) party, and by a very considerable proportion at any rate of the dissenting body throughout the United Kingdom. The situation again, to say the least of it, is aufliciently eccentric. Here are the Catholic Bishops of Ireland, with one voic.-, declaring mast solemnly and moat deliberately th it they will accept no endowment whatever at the hands of the Government. An I here, in direct opposition to that announcement of theirs, is an Ex-Pre.nier and an Ex-Leader of the Liberal Party—l personage of no less importance than Earl RUSSELL, the very man, by the way, who wrote the Durham Letter, the very man who, in thtt historical document, iuveighed against what he was pleased to call " the mummeries of superstition"—here is this very L)rd RUSSELL i yoposing to ask Parliament to award large suns of money—the surplus accruing out of the realisation Jf the property of the Iris's Churs.th immediately upon its disendowment—among other purposes- 4 .0 what• end ? Actually to the end of building up churches, of awarding glebe lands, of opening up graveyards for the use, for the service, for the occupation of the Roman Cstho'ics of Ireland. Turning the tables, that is, urtainly, and with a engeanee! Levelling up, that is, complete'y and :horouglily ! Why a prop ositi.) a lik s that khvarrs. to absolute sigoificauco -ae - once the , uggcstion for levelling up, as it was set Earth on'y last year by Lord M tio when he was addre..-.slng :louse of Co.n•nons i r his then otlieial capacity as f Secretary for Ireland. The compensation regard to Maynooth, as embodie I iu Mr. GLADSTONE'S bill, is, in point of fast, a mere trivial item in the account of appropriation as compared with this for the building of Churches, for the dlotting of glebe lauds and for the opening of Grave yards. The Catholic Episc3pacy of Irel and all the .vhile, remember, intimating as plainly as very simple and very solemn words could intimate anything, that the Church committed to their governauca by the Holy See will accept nothing in the shape of an endowment from the British Government. Even as 'natters stood in regard to that ques ion of the Maynooth compensation just now referred to, it has more than once been conscientiously objected to that portion of the Irish Church Bill now before Parliament, that it is in one s:n3e a violation of the original intimation given to the country by the Liberal Party, to the effect that no portion of the funds accruing from the sale of the property of the Irish Church immediately upon its dsestablishmcnt and its subs2iumt disen downment should, under any circumstances, be de voted to religious purposes in dealing in Ireland with the different confronting denominations. In order to make good that virtual pledge or promise to he whole country, it has been argued that the com- pensation to Maynooth ought by rights to come from he ConEolidated Fund, and not from the surplus . - funds obtained from the realisation of the Irish Church property in carrying out the scheme of disen dowment. But, contrast with that clause in the bill relating to Maynooth with this amendment now projected 14 EArl RUSSELL ! So extraordinary is the transformation of the whole policy of the Government, in regard to the Irish Church, involved in the acceptance of any such amendment as that by a considerable majority of the House of Lords, that the prospect becomes again imminent, not merely of an autumnal s.ission, but of a collision at last, not altogether improbable, between the Lords and the Commons. BLUE-BOOKS, notwithstanding their homeliness, often supply information as interesting as it is important ; and rarely has any of these uncouth documents afforded a more gratifying record of pro gress than that contained in the sixteenth report of the Science and Art Department. The functions of this department, which is under the rule of the Committee of Council on Education, are diverse. It distributes the aid given for the promotion of elementary and scientific drawing, the geological survey is under its guidance, and it has the care of the South Kensington Museum, and minor institu tions of the kind. But none of its duties is more im portant than the administration of the fund set apart for the encouragement of scientific training. It is but a short time since technical education, so long talked of, first received practical attention. Already s t t l b w ! t e i s i e u I s t : i a e r n e c e gz i a i n t n a t n e c , l s i f :: :t c i r n e g a sai apart a g rt . a l s t u w m a os f o l n Bo e y 0 for promoting the teaching of science as applied to mechanical industry, first came into operation, and in that year nine schools or classes, with a total of 800 .scholars, received aid. Th enumber of students increased at the average rate of 1,000 a year up to 18G0, when the total was 0,835 in 158 schools. In 1807 there was a great advance, the numbers being 10, 9 20 and )1 9 . Last year the progress was still greater, the totals being 15,000 students in 300 schools. Nor do these figures represent the entire advance of the movement, for the returns shew that the attendance at lectures, the readers at libraries, and the visitors to scientific and industrial exhibitions have alzo multi plied greatly. roubtless a good deal of 'this remarkable progress • its character, of such really vital importance, that it is worthy of being taken at once into very serious consideration. After the word " ap plied," in the twenty-sixth line of the sixty-eighth clause, Lord RUSSELL proposes to ask their Lordships in Committee to insert these words—" to the benefit of the Irish people : and whereas it is desirable to satisfy as far as possible upon principles- of equality as between the several religious denominations in Ireland, all just and equitable claims ; and whereas provision has been made in the foregoing part of this Act to satisfy the just and equitable claims of the representa tive body of the present Established Protestant Church of Ireland, in respect to churches, grave. yards, ecclesiastical residences, and glebe lands ; and whereas the Presbyterian Church in Ire land and the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland have just an 1 evitable claims, such property shall be applied—(l.) To the buil ling of churches or chapels, the building or purchase of ecclesiastical re sidences, and the purchase or grant of glebe lands not exceeding thirty acres, attached to each such re sk once, to the Presbyterian Church and clergy in Ireland. (2.) To the buildings of churches or chapels, the building or purchase of ecclesiastical residences, and the grant of glebe lands, not exceeding thirty acres, attached to each such residence, to the Roman Catholic Church and clergy of Ireland. (3.) To the purchase or grant of lands when applied for by petition of the inhabitants of any parish or parishes for the purpose of grave yards for Protestants of all denominations, and members of the Roman Catholic Church. And is to be attributed to Mr. WHITWORTH'S miificent bequest. In the spring of last year this geleman announced his intention of founding thirtytholar ships, each of the annual value of £lOO, or the further instruction of young men in the thry and practice of mechanical industry. Itcannot be too widely known that these aluable prizes are open to anybody who )ssesses the industry end the perseverance to pretre for them. In order to be successful, the capetitor must have a moderate knowledge of thdeading branches of science, and be equal to the praical use of some ordinary tool. It is perfectly iinaterial whether he display greater proficiency in ;knee or in mechanical skill. Thus, the artisan rith fine workmanship and a modicum of scientific kowledge, and the student with a little practal skill and greater theoretical proficiency, coipete on equal terms. But theory or practice lone will not suffice. Besides these scholarships, M. 'WHIT WORTH has founded sixty exhibitions, alue £25 each, tenable for one year. These exhibiions were des'gned to be rreparatory to the sclolarships, and they have been satisfactorily climsed of. Increased interest in scientific traning has been awakened by this noble gift, whit, in fact, has given the movement precisely the impalse which was needed. But proof is not wanting that the working classses are rapidly learning to appreciate industrial education for its own sake. The number of schools and students have advanced during the past year by 50 per cent.; but the increase was very great in the previous year, when Mr. NVHITWORTII'S intention had not been announced.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT'.) PARIS, THURSDAY, June 24. The Belgian Railway Commissioners have again been sitting, and again have they been unable to hatch any thing. The Patrie, which makes no attempt to conceal its ill-humour, is obliged to confess that its hopes of a settle ment have been disappointed. It says that some points, which it was expected had been: given up by Belgium, have again been made the subject of dispute, and the imbroglio remains just where it was. The other day the Patrie triumphantly announced that the Brussels Cabinet had yielded—that King Leopold would not brave the danger of holding out any longer, and therefore the question was settled. It now appears that this statement was merely a disin genuous hint of what King Leopold might expect if he did not yield, not a piece of information that he actu ally had yielded, Another meeting is to be held this week. " France," says the semi-oflicial paper, "continues to do everything in her power to bring about an understanding," leaving it to be inferred that Belgium does not. Two pieces of disquieting news caused great excitement. on the Bourse to-day. First there was this Belgian dead. lock, which, of course, was magnified on the Bourne into a statement that the negotiations bad finally and irrevocably broken of ; and there was a rumour to the effect that the Emperor bad . made a very warlike speech at Chalons. Both reports were exaggerated. It will be seen that the negotiations have not been broken off, though they are in a bad way at present. As to the speech, consi dering that this is the tenth anniversary of Solferiuo, and that the Emperor ought naturally to feel a little bellicose inspiration, there is positively nothing warlike in it. His Majesty was rejoiced to see that his soldiers had not forgotten the grand cause for which he and they had fought ten years ago. They were •to keep in their hearts, he said, the remembrance of the battles.of their fathers and of their own, for the history of the French wars is the history of the progress of civilisation. Of course, if people are so minded, they can find reason for gamin this statement. As the Emperor thinks that possible that be may be meditating iilittte — ittrepitOgtsi! But not the slightest approach to a specific allusion does this speech contain. It is scarcely posSible that anything milder could be said by a sovereign address'ng his old soldiers on the anniversary of a great victory. Another item of news from Chalons is of con siderable interest. We are told that three Prussian officers recently put up at one of the hotels at Chalons, and were present at the _ _ manoeuvres executed before the Emperor on Tues day. They were dressed in plain clothes, without any decorations ; but their identity was soon found out, and they were requested to withdraw, by an order from Marshal Niel. One of them is attached to the King's staff. They went away with a very bad grace. As many officers of all nations are now at Chtilons, it would be difficult to understand why these three Prussians were regarded with such jealousy. It appears, however, that they had not been accredited by the Prussian Ambassador, they had not announced themselves to one cf the French generals, as the other officers do, and, moreover, they had given expression to some very uncomplimentary opinions. Two 3 - ears ago, says one of the papers here, a prince of Prussia came to the camp incognito, and was much struck with the fine appearance and proficiency of the French soldiers. He is reported to have said "What a misfortunt• not to command troops like these." The three officers who were requested to withdraw seemed to have entertained quite the contrary idea. The tr:al of the schoolmaster for falsifying the electoral returns in his commune has excited great interest here, but I cannot agree with the coMplaint!, raised -by some of the Liberal paperS. They argue that the jury truckled to the public prosecutor in acquitting the prisoner. Well, the facts are very clear. This wooden-headed schoolmaster took out sixteen bulle. tins which had been recorded in favoUr of the Opposition candi late, and changed them for voting•papers in favora of the Official candidate, announcing first that all the votes but one had been given fur the latter, and afterwards that he had been unanimously supported. That is, in a small commune in which sixteen votes out of fortytwo had voted for the Liberal, this worthy official had the audacity to record a unanimous decision in favour of the Imperialist. The whole affair was so clumsily managed, the certainty of detect:fin so plain, that the pubic prosecutor could hardly have been far wrong in pronouncing tl e schoolmaster an idiot, and moving for an acquittal en that ground. There was really little justification fm punishing such a wretch. What may justly be com plained of is, that ignorant maires and ignorant officials of all grades are entrusted with important dutica in every part of France. THE COUNTESS D'ALTETRAC. - The case of the Countess D'Alteyrae, whose proceedings against Turd Willoughby D'En.sby raised so much stir some time since, was before the Court of Bankruptcy or. Thursday. Her larlyship has spent some time in prison, but of late has been allowed to be at large. A sitting for last examiration and discharze was now held. The bankruptcy is ascribed to insuflich.my of income, law expenses, and pressure by creditors. The accounts chew debts of £5,20 ; property given up, £6,350 ; surplus, JA2O. Her ladyship's expenditure is returned at £2,000 a year. The following statement is appended to the balance - sheet : " I am entitled to receive from Lord Willoughby D'Eresby, under an award dated 4th April, 1868, and made by W. Vernon Harcourt, Esq., Q.C., an annuity for my life of £1,200, payable half-yearly, namely, on the 14th of October and the Ist of April, and a further sum of £lOO per calendar month till such annuity shall be legally secured and settled by the said Lord Willoughby n'Eresby ; estimated value, £6,000." It being stated that the accounts had not been fileci in time, the hearing, after some discussion, was adjourned. .4 PASSAGE FROM THE LIFE OF DEFOE, -.4. Some recently-discovered papers of Daniel Defoe do no , resent the author of " Robinson Crusoe " in the mos' favourable light. Truth, indeed, will be rather ;;;accept able to those who from childhood have been led to regard the celebrated writer as a hero. Some letters discovered in 18G4—which are all in the handwriting of Defoe himself, and of unquestionable authenticity—shew that in the year 1718 the writer was engaged by the Whig Government of Lord Sunderland, as he had been a few years previously by that of Lord Townshend and Sir Robert Walpole, to exercise a species of secret influence over the high Tory publication called 111ist's Weekly Journal, as well as another periodical of the same stamp, called Dormer's News Letter. This he did by introducing himself to the proprietors of those journals, representing that he was under the displeasure of the Government (as in fact he had been some time before), and so obtaining the management of the papers—• ostensibly with a view to advocating Tory principles, bat really with the design, as he expresses it, of " taking the sting out " of the comments am paragraphs of news, amusing the • party, pre- venting their setting up more violent organs, and " disabling " and " enervating " the journals in question, " so as to do no mischief, or give any offence to the Government." Ho also himself commenced, and carried on for several years, a monthly review, called Mercurius Po/it/cm, which, by a mild expression of Tory, or what we should now call Conservative, principles, still further " amused " the bamboozled party, and prevented th starting of independent journals. Mr. Mist, the proprie tor of the Weekly Journal, seems to have justified his name, and to have had at first no idea of the purposes to which his periodical was being put. Defoe, when ever ho suppressed anything very strong against th. Whigs, told him that he did so to keep the concern clear of a prosecution ; but it would seem that ultimately Mist himself came into the plot, and, upon the Government foregoing a prosecution for some piece of sedition which had obtained insertion despite of Defoe's vigilance, under took to act secretly in favour of the Government. The Journal had been set up in the Pretender's interest, and oue part of Defoe's work was not only to suppress the treasonable matter which thus came into his possession, but to hand it over to the Ministers. The connection between Defoe and Mist continued with a brief interrup tion until July 1720, when the former refused to be further responsible for the general conduct of the paper, though he contributed to its pages for some time longer Several papers pirblLh a very old opinion of no Solicitor-General Sir Bounden Palmer and Dr. Deane, Q.C., t tie effe et that no means at present exist for trying, bpforo ally tribunal competent - to decide the Tie.

The remains of the ltight Hon. Edward John Baron Stanley of Alderley, have been interred in the family vault beneath the ancient and venerable pariah church of Alderley. The body was brought down to Alderley park on Saturday night from London. The funeral was conducted in the plainest and simplest manner; but the bug line o: mourners, exclusive cf those who were connected by family ties with the deceased peer, bore testimony to the estimation in which he was hold. Tho Dean of Westminster conducted the funeral service, THE AFFAIRS OF THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. The affairs of the Duke of Newcastle were before the Bankruptcy Court on Thursday. A petition had been filed against his Grace for the purpose of securing an equal dis tribution of his estate amongst the creditors. The petition is presented. against Henry Pelham Alexander Clinton, Duke of Newcastle, of No. 10, Carlton-house terrace, in the county of Middlesex, and of Clumber Park, in the county of Notts. The petitioning creditor is Mr. Robert Morris, of Carlton Chambers, Regent-street, who claims £IO,COO on a joint and several promissory note, given on the 22nd of October last by the Duke and another peer, with interest thereon at 30 per cent. per annum. Mr. Bagley appeared for the petitioning creditor ; Mr. George Lewis represented Mr. Padwick, who had been summoned as a witness ; and Mr. Davis and Mr. W. H. Roberts appeared for the creditors. The proceedings were strictly private, and were con ducted in a little room in a remote part of the building, from which the representatives of the press were excluded. At the close it transpired that only one witness, Mr. Padwick, had been examined; and further proceeding were adjourned till Monday. Thursday was the last of the five days appointed for the sale of the Duke of Newcastle's Tam and penateg, and the mansion in Carlton•house-terrace is now denuded of all that it contained, save those objects of family tradition reserved as "heirlooms" by the protective order of Baron Martin. The dispersal of such very small household gods as belonged to the pantries and servants' rooms completed this remarkable sale, the catalogue of which is perhaps one of the most comprehensive on re cord, including as it does the Duke's cigars, ivory-handled walking.stick, racing calendars, and other little personal and private possessions, and his very clothing. Court swords, dress hats in their tin cases, and " a crimson velvet robe" were also brought to the hammer. Very high prices have been the rule throughout this sale. Many pieces of furniture must have been sold for at least their original cost when new. A centre fauteuil, with a lounge and chairs en suite, their frames being andail{; their upholstery crimson satin, brought 200 s _ gUi l ne m a's r ; c c ntwO tai tin .robroidered panels mann was sold for GO window curtains fetched 93 guineas ; a marqueterie table less than two feet long, 84 guineas ; two pair of ormolu candelabra, 81 guineas ; a pair of "moderator" lamps, 28 guineas ; another pair, 25 guineas ; an Axminster carpet, 18 feet by 16, 58 guineas; another carpet of the same kind, 33 feet by 21, 110 guineas ; a walnut-wood cigar-case and stand, 40 guineas ; and a small pair of ebony and tortoisehell cabinets, 44 guineas. The Duke's cigars, which were known to be excellent, were contested with great spirit by smokers who " don't care what they pay for the right thing." Mingling with the crowd on the several days were the Earl of Abergavenny, Lord Carysfort, Lord Cowley, the Marquis of Lorne, Captain Archdall, and Sir E. Halse. Many ladies were also present, most of whom, as well as the greater number of those gentlemen above named, were buyers. HER MAJEST Y. WINDSOR CASTLE ) June 24.

BRADFORD, June 24.—There has been rather more wool sold since Monday—the tone of the mar ket is steadier and more cheerf al. The reduction in the Bank rate of discount, and the firmness in cotton, have not been without a beneficial in fluence on the demand and the prices of wool. Quotations are very firm, and, in the case of the best classes of wool, have a slightly hardening tendency. In worsted yarns there is more in quiry to-day, and a few bona fide orders from the Continent are also placed at prices slightly in advance of those realised about a week ago. Spinners as a rule are rather firmer in their quota tions, and, although there is on the whole a slight improvement manifest, the aggregate business doing is far from satisfactory. The general de mand is confined to a few spinnings, such as 30's super, and 30's, 32's, 36's, and 40's lustre, both for home and foreign acciu4t. There is little change in the piece trade ; if anything, there is rather less business doing on home account, the unsettled state of the weather having a prejudicial effect. A steady business is doing for the Continent. Owing to the firmness in cotton warps and in wool, prices have still a hardening tendency. MONMOUTHSHIRE, 231.—The annual wool fair was held this day at the Newport Cattle Market, where was a large quantity of wool offered and a better attendance of buyers than have been known for the past two years.

HEARTLESS ROBBERY BY Two GERMANS.--Tvio Ger mans, named John Seggerton and Snoss Brute, were brought before Mr. Page; in custody of Police-sergeant Kenwood, of the II division, from Liverpool, charged with robbing three satin!. Germans of watches, clothes, and money. On the 19th of May last the five men were all employed on the establishment of Hall and Boyd, sugar refiners, in St. George-in-the-East, and all lived in the same house in Pennington-street, Rateliff-highway. The prisoners remained at home on the above mentioned day. The prosecutors went earlier than usual, and the pri soners took advantage of their absence to break open their fellow-workmen's boxes, and rob them of their watches, money, and clothes,:and they they absconded. Kenwood traced the prisoners to Liverpool, where he arrested them yesterday. They walked a portion of the distance to Liver pool, and one of them obtained work as a sugar b a ker. They sold one of the stolen watches in Warringt on , and travelled the remainder of the distance by railway. The property stolen from the box of one man was valued at £9 10s., and the others each lost clothes, money, and a watch, to the amount of XI The prisoners admitted they robbed their fellow-countrymen, and each criminated the other.
