FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated March 28.) PARIS, MARCH 27.—1 t is affirmed that the Treaty concluded between France, Russia, and England, is definitively signed, and that the most perfect harmony exists on the subject between the three Courts. It is said that this Treaty will speedily be made public, and that it has been sent to Constantinople, to be notified to the Turkish Government. A Courier from Nice has brought word that the health of M. de Ferronayes is sensibly better, but not sufficiently so to allow him to resume the duties of his office. It is added that he 1611 set out, at the end of the month, on a visit to the principal cities of Italy, particularly Venice, Rome, and Naples, where, perhaps, he is destined to MI the pOsi of Ambassador. It is affirmed that the arrival of this news has furnished the Ministry with a pretext to return again to the necessity of at length ap pointing a successor to M. de Ferronayes. It seems certaix that this necessity was discussed in the Coun cil yesterday. ' (From the Message?* dcs Chambres of Friday.) PARIS, MARCH 26.—The official .part of the Illoniteur of this day contains a Report, presented by the Minister of Public I►►struction to the King upon that subject, and the necessity of organizing it in a complete and advantageous manner. His Excellency states to his Majesty that the legislation, relative to public instruction, is composed of a multi tude of acts, among which it is often difficult to dis cover the regulations actually in force from those which are abrogated. The legislation respecting the University is evidently incomplete in divers po►nts; it is essential to modify the regulations, to add new ones, to extend the teaching of law, to perfect that of medicine, to restore to the Grand Masters the nomination of Professors, and lastly, to ameliorate the condition of those functionaries. This Report is followed by a Royal Ordinance, divided into six heads, the object of which is to carry into effect the suggestions contained in the Report of the Minister.

BERLIN, MARCH 22.—General Count Diebitsch, commander-in-chief of the army, gives a report of several successful reconnoissances from Pravadi. Major-General Kuprianoff, who left Pravadi on the 7th of February with three battalions, one cannon, end 100 Cossacks, took possession of the village of Assalbeli, drove the Turks out of it, and took 200 oxen. On his return to Pravadi he intercepted a division of the enemy, who followed him, and put them to flight. The loss of the Turks was consi derable : we had three killed and two wounded. On the 19th the same General proceeded to the village of Markoftcha, where the Turks, unable to withstand his impetuous attack, were dispersed, leaving behind their artillfry and horses. Though the darkness of the night favoured their flight, they had twenty men killed, and the commander of the division was taken prisoner. We did not lose a' man. In Markofteha we found a considerable quan tity of biscuit and barley. According to a report of General Daucray, the Turks, 3,000 strong (both cavalry and infantry), made a sally from Giurdzevo, but falling in with several regiments of Cossacks, retreated partly to Giurdzevo, partly on the ice to Rudsclink. On the 19th they made another sally with a greater force, but with no more success, being obliged, after a short action, to retreat into the fortress without having caused us the slightest loss. General Count Langeron reports that he had found at Tournoul 7 cannon besides the 44 first mentioned. The inhabitants and the garrison - of Nicopoli, terrified at the quick reduction of the fortresses of Kale and Tournoul, which was accomplished under their eyes, and fearing to see our soldiers under their walls, are flying into the interior of Bulgaria, in spite of the vigilanee and the punishments by which . Tchapan Ogiou endeavours to keep them in the fortress. ODESSA, MARCH 7.-From the 4th to the 6th of March. two ships have arrived here from Varna, and 99, laden with as munition, have sailed for the se veral conquered fortresses.—Prussian Slate Gazette,' March 23. EGINA, FEB. 10.—The inhabitants of Livadia havelately sent an address to the President of Greece, to express their gratitude for the deliverance of their country. Several laws on the organization of the troops have been published ; the French legislation is fol lowed in every thing relative to the army. The organization of the courts of justice will also re .,,:emble those of France. Business is improving here ; new buildings are rising on all sides. The population of the town consists of three classes—the Eginatans, Ipsariots, and Athenians. The greatest activity prevails in our port and in the dock-yards, where new ships are constantly building. The numerous marine of the islands, formerly engaged in piracy, is now employed in commerce ; but bath the islands and the continent of Greece suffer greatly by the interruption of the corn merce with Odessa, which prevents them from obtaining corn from that port. VIENNA, MARCH 18.—The Austrian Observer publishes further particulars of the expedition of Count Dandolo, to claim from the Greek Govern ment the restitution of the captured Austrian ships, with the result of which we have been long ac quainted. BRUSSELS, Mailer' 27.—We are happy to see that several of the opposition Journals do justice to the spirit in which the new project of law respect ing the press is drawn up. The Helena Christina, Captain Martins, has arrived from Batavia, and we suppose has brought accounts later than 20th November, but none have yet reached us.—Brussels Papers, March '2B. SYRA, FEB. 2.—We hear that the Sultan will not accede to the proposals of M. Jaubert. It is evident that the plan, pursued by the Allied Powers, of making proposals to Mahmoud will never succeed. They must act without him, and he will then agree to what they have done. If they would declare to-day that they positively and irrevocably recognize the independence of Greece, and that the Mores, the Cyclades, Attica, Livadia, and .Negro pout, are acknowledged as a. separate state, and that any attempt of the Porte against it will be considered as a declaration of war, the Porte must yield to necessity. The Sultan may contradict the Divan by refusing to accede to the terms proposed, but will never venture against .the will of the Divan to declare war against France and England. VIENNA, MARCIt 17.—Metalliques, 97i ; Bank Shares, I,o93l.—Allgenzeine Zeitung, March 22, The first instance that occurs of election bribery was so early as the 13th of ELIZABETH, when one THOMAS LONGF, being a simple man, and of small cipa city to serve in Parliament, acknowledged he had given the returning officer and ethers, of the borough of Westbury, 11. to be returned member, and Vas for that premium elected ; but for this offence the borough was amerced, the member was removed, and the officer fined and imprisoned. —Blackstone. A gentleman of the name of WADE, who resided in Bond -street, Waterloo-bridge, died about a week since of pulmonary consumption ; by his will, made with a full knowledge of his approaching dissolution, but while his faculties were entirely unimpaired, he directed his body to be given for dissection, for the benefit (as he expressed himself) of his surviving fellow-creatures, and to give an example to others.. The person who thus set a common prejudice at defiance belonged to the commercial class, and was little likely to have been influenced by an abstract love of science. We notice this fact at.a moment that a Bill has been brought into Parliament on the sub-. ject, as a proof both that the antipathies on this point are fast losing ground, and that the topic is one which excites the attention of persons wh o , b y t h e nature o f t h e i r avo cations, might he supposed heedless or ignorant in such roatters...—Sunday Paper. The bankruptcy of one of the principal firms of Coach Proprietors, Messrs. Eames, of the Angel Inn, St. Clement's, has excited a great sensation amongst persons connected with the coach btisiness, both in London and the country. Their failure is attributed to the unusual opposition that has taken place on almost all the roads out of London during the season. On the Western road the fares have been as low as 20s. in, and 10s. out to Exeter; to Southampton 10s: in, and ss. out ; to Liverpool, 20s. in, and 10s. out ; to Manchester, York, &c., the s►me opposition has produced a similar reduc tion in the fares, and so great has been the competi tion, that to make a display of a " good load," pas sengers have been conveyed long distances for no thing. The failure of a Coach Proprietor is, in most cases, attended with the most ruinous conse quences, involving the credit of many persons, who have a " piece of road," as it is termed, or, in other words, persons who horse the coach and drive it some 16, 20, or 30 miles. The two principal pro prietors, one in London and the other in the country, receive the whole amount of fares, carriage of par cels, &c., and they settle - with their co-partners once a month—a failure, therefore, at the time the whole proceeds of the coach for a month are in the hands of oue proprietor, must be attended with the most serious consequences. Another circumstance connected with the failures is the distress it brings upon a number of industrious men who are em ployed as coachmen and guards. EXTRACT FROM lANNING'S HISTORY OF SURREY...—. At Mersham, in the county of Surrey, was formerly a capital mansion, the residence of the SOUTH. ccrrEs. The family were Roman Catholics, and are said to have quitted in disgust, on being refused burial for one of the family in the chancel, by the then Rector (Salt. Rousts.) The loss of this family was long felt in the pa rish, and a grateful remembrance of their extensive chari ties has I , een handed dowa to the present day. During their residence, no calamity or casualty happened to an in dividual,: no unproductive season occasioned a scarcity, but rea ly assistance was given. The last Lady SOUTHCOTE is said to have been constantly stationed, at certain well known times, on her garden terrace, overlooking the road, prepared to head every petition, and to answer every claim upon her benevolence. Such (adds the present worthy Rector, in giving this account) was the family to whom burinl in the church was refused, because they were Roman Catholics !" Such are the effects of the attempts to excite agitation in remote parts of the country, that it is not an uncommon circumstance for individuals resident in Lon don to receive letters from their friends at a distance, in quiring after their personal safety, in consequence of the alarming state of the public mind in the metropolis!!! MALT DUTY.—It is in contemplation to call a county meeting in Norfolk, to consider the propriety of petitioning for a reduction in the Malt Duty ; and it is said that one, if not both, of the :county Members, will attend to give their sanction to a petition on the subject.— This question is of the greatest importance to Norfolk, and all other barley districts. AN ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.-Lately an Irish recruit arrived at the depot. A common soldier seeing the raw fellow, exclaimed—" Well, Paddy, how do the 'tatoes taste in Ireland?"—" Ah, jewel, (said the recruit), 4; I can't give you a taste of the 'tatoe, here's a taste of the stalk," and with his thorn stick knocked down the soldier, to the great amusement of the bystanders. Western Timis. THE BLACK FLY IN TURNIPS.—A farmer who farmed extensively, bad his turnips subject for many years to the attack of the black fly, in common with most of his neighbours. He was advised by some one who had tried with success what he recommended, to rub the turnip seed among flour of sulphur, and to let it lie amongst it for some short time, and then sow both seed and sulphur together. By perseverence in this practice for fifteen Years, he evaded the attacks of the fly all that time; which was as long as he continued to farm.—Afinzuul of Science and Literature. Two men have been travelling through the county of Wilts, during the last week, with a covered cart laden with printed tracts and hand-bills against the measures of Ministers on 'the Catholic question. The men state that they have already given away upwards of a million of tracts.— Cambrian. VORACITY OF THE COD.—OII Thursday afternoon, when a fisherwoman in the market was cutting up a huge cod, to her great surprise she found a marot, or wild duck, in the stomach. It was cleaned, carefully examined, and no doubt remained that it had been gobbled only a very short time before its destroyer swallowed the hook which brought both to market.— Scotsman. The Fair at Cow•bridge, on Tuesday last, was the dullest we have witnessed for some time : there were scarcely any dealers. Stock suffered a fall in price, and various reasons were assigned as the cause; some were of opinion that the taking the one-pound notes out of cir culation was the cause, others that there was at present a very great scarcity of money, and that that was the prin ciple cause. Which of those opinions may be correct, we know not.— Cumbrian. PERILOUS TIMES.—A woman from the other side of the Spey having been on an errand to a neighbour ing clergyman's manse, last week, was asked what news she had from the place she had just left. " Och ! on ;" replied the woman, " bad news i ndeed. The KING has turned Papist; and's gaun to cut aff, wi' his ain hand, the heads of every body that winna turn Papist too. A priest," con tinued the poor woman with the utmost seriousness and apparent concern, " A priest in our place has been for some time past seeking money to build a chapel ; but he's geen't a' up now, because in a month or twa he's to get the parish kirk."—Elgin Courier. REMARKABLE FACT.-14011 a field on the farm of Newhouse, in the parish of Lesmahagow, which has been ploughed for time immemorial, as the ploughman was lately turning over the soil, with the horses at their usual pace, one of them fairly sunk down, and became embedded among the channelley subsoil. It proved a labour of no small difficulty to disinter the animal. After he was released from his imprisonment, five men descended, and entered a cavity completely over canopied by the sur face ; and, from their report, there was room for five more. There was no appearance below which indicated that the spot had once been a sepulchre, as neither bones, nor urns, nor huge stones, nor ancient reliques of any kind were found,—nor did it appear that it had been a vault over-arched. It will be gratifying if any correspondent can throw light upon such a cavity.—Scotsman. A FACT.—So much alarm has the unceas ing repetition of the term, Catholic Bill, created, that the mania has taken possession even of children ; and it is much to be feared it has become a bugbear to thousands of mature age, who have given themselves as little trouble as children to make themselves acquainted with the real na ture and form of the terrific animal. Not many miles from Lanark, as a few little happy urchins were going home from a country school a few days ago, indulging in their wonted gambols, in all the mirth and plenitude of youthful glee, their sport was suddenly and unexpectedly interrupted by the approach of a bull, whose aspect at the time was rather alarming. Immediately their fun was converted into real flight. One little girl, more nimble than the rest of her companions, ran uttering the most piercing cries, until, scarcely able to breathe , she came up with a man who stopped her and inquired into the cause of her terror. As soon as language could find vent— pointing backward to the unsuspecting cause of her fears, she sobbed out piecemeal, " Oh, can you tell me if that's the Catholic Bill ?" Glasgow Free Press. THE EYES.—It is a remarkable fact, and no less so as having remained so long unnoticed,: that in Britain the dark-coloured eye is always found to prevail in the neighbourhood of coal mines, and where coal is used as the general fuel ; while, on the other, band, the light or blue eye belongs to those districts in which that mineral is not used; and notwithstanding the numbers of persons continually pouring into the coal districts from other parts of the country, in consequence of the demand for labour, yet the prevalency in the former of the dark eye espe cially among the children, is so evident, that whoever will take the trouble to make the abservation, will most assuredly acknowledge the accuracy of this statement. In what way the sulphurated hydrogen, Bac., occasioned by the coal fire affects the pigment of the iris, it is not now my intention to inquire. I consider it sufficient for my present purpose to establish the connexion between the use of coal and the dark colour of the eye ; though, from repeated observa tions, I feel assured that there are more curious facts con nected with the subject than have yet come under the notice of physiologists ; and which, when properly deve loped, will considerably alter the bearing of many opinions hitherto entertained.—Price's British Physiognomy. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 30,11:1829. The Catholic Relief Bill will be read a third time this evening, and forwarded to the Lords, before whom it is expected to be read a second time on Thursday or Friday, with a large majority. The Tories are now so " resigned to their situation," that it is said they intend to offer no opposition—the Earl of ELDON excepted—who is resolved to die—game. We call the attention of his Majesty's Govern ment, and especially that of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, to an article from the Morning Chro nicle of this day, recommending a more enlarged cir culation of Newspapers as the only and hest means of conveying instruction to the people upon all matters touching their interests, and putting them upon their guard against the designs of the insidious. We have all along maintained, that if the duty upon Newspapers were reduced one-half, their circulation would be more than quadrupled. They would thus doubly benefit the revenue, and strengthen the hands of Government, by con veying correct intelligence at a cheap and ex peditious rate to all parts of the kingdom. It is notorious that the duty of 3s. 6d. upon every Advertisement deters thousands who would other wise advertise daily, or weekly, from advertising at all. In fact, there is no commodity or species of property under the Sun so exorbitantly taxed as a Newspapaper Advertisement. Let the Advertise ment be one line or twenty, it is taxed 3s. 6d. duty ! We feel persuaded that if the Duke of WELLINGTON would but look to this business, much public benefit would be the consequence. The Stamp acts, we know, are in course of revision, and it would be well if their whole spirit were so framed as to benefit the public generally while they increased the Revenue. The thing is perfectly practicable, and ought there fore to be enforced. The Hamburgh Reporter and other liamburgh Papers of the 24th March have been received, from which we make the following extracts. The wea- tber seems .to be daily getting more mild in the North of Germany : srocicnoLm, MARCH 13. Last Wednesday her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Albertina, who has been frequently much indis posed during this winter, had so serious an attack, that a solemn audience, which a deputation of the Diet and the Chief Officers of State was to have had of the Crown Princess, to congratulate her upon her recovery, was obli ged to be put off. Yesterday morning, however, her Royal Highness was better, and though a speedy recovery cannot he expected, yet there is every reason to hope this morning that she is out of danger. IiAMBURGII, MARCH 20. After an interruption of the navigation from 9th Jan. the first ships hare arrived to-day, as well those that have re-entered at Cuxhaven as some oyster-ship.

Admiral Heyden bad bad several buildings erected on the island, for magazines. FRONTIERS eF SERVIA, MARCH 6. The appointment of Redschid Pacha to the poet of Grand Vizier gives new life to every branch of the Admi nistration. The Turks never had a proper plan for a cam paign, and the issue was usually determined by unforeseen contingencies, every Commander following his course, without attending to any thing but the corps under his own special command. This was evidently the CU! in last year's campaign, when the Turks were unable to take ad vantage of such events as seemed favourable to them. Redschid Pacha, who has acquired a more enlarged knowledge of tactics in his campaigns against the Greeks, will remedy this evil, and -make all the operations tend to one general object. Orders to this effect have been sent to all the Pachas and the Go vernors of fortresses. In the latter there are to be com missioners, forming a kind of council, to control the con duct of the Governors. This last measure is founded on the diminished confidence of the Sultan in the cow. wanders of the fortresses, since some of them, after having capitulated ; have voluntarily remained prisoners with the Russians. The number of troops said to be ordered to the army on the Danube is immense, but the statements are evidently extremely exaggerated. VIENNA, MARCH 18.--Metall►ques 97 3-16.—Bank Shares 1,094. We take the following from a Morning Paper, whose columns have lately exhibited the most for lorn specimens of " Revolution--Anarchy — Church and State is danger—Constitution broken doin— &c." and nobody to avert the one or save the other, unless the fair Ladies of lirmel Hempstead step forward. One thing is quite clear, that the alarmists are now put to their last shifts i— " A Meeting of Ladies of the vill of Hemel Hempstead, Herts, takes place in the Town Hall, this day, at twelve o'clock, for the purPose of considering of an Addreka to the Princess AnousTa, petitioning her Royal Highness to in tercede with his MAJESTY to save the Protestant Constitu tion of the country." Perhaps Mr. JOHN HALCOMBE may take a hint from this, and get certain ladies of the Strand to join in a petition, praying that the Catholic Bill may not pass into_ a law, as it will infallibly affect their character, and, being subversive of the Protestant Constitution, greatly tend to corrupt the morals of the people.

THE KING'S COLLEGE.--Preparations are at length commenced for obtaining possession of the site mentioned some months since on the east of Somerset House, for erecting the new College.

The LORD CHANCELLOR,..Rp - ou the application of Mr. HORNE, ordered this appeal to stand perempto rily for, hearing on Monday next. WILSON V. CARMICHAEL. Mr. HORNE opened the crass appeal this morning in this case, involving questions upon exceptions to the Master's Report. Mr. Wilson, the appellant, was the executor of the late Mr. Andrew Carmichael, a solicitor of eminence, whose principal assets con sisted of debts due from nearly 200 persons. For the recovery of these debts, the executor was under the necessity of instituting a great number of suits both in Courts of Law and Equity. In many instances re ferences had been made to the Master, whose reports upon exceptions were confirmed by the Court of Chancery in Ireland ; against'that decision Mr. Wil son, the executor, appealed. We left Mr. SUGDEN addressing the House on the part of the appellant. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied this morn ing in hearing petitions in bankruptcy, none of which possessed any public interest. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANG E . There was a good supply of Foreign Wheat last week; but very little English or Insh Corn, and not much Flour coastwise. I Superfine samples of English Wheat are so scarce, that the mil. lers are obliged to give for such an advance of le. to 2s. per quar ter; but all Other descriptions meet a slow sale at the same terms as quoted on this day se'nnight. Barley for malting fully indin. tains the terms of last Monday : other sorts are very dull in sale. Beans and Pease of fine quality have rather improved in value. Oats are not plentiful ; but there has not been much demand to. day, and they may be quoted much the same as last week. There is a moderate sale for Flour, at no alteration in prices.

The temporary rise last Saturday scarcely lived that day out ; for during the present week most articles have been offered on the same terms that were current a fortnight ago. The attendance of country dealers was exceedingly small to this day's market, and the transactions have been so very trifling, that it is difficult to make out a price current. Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Pease are all dull, and a shade cheaper. Fine dry New Beans are Is. per quarter dearer. Malt as last noted. Flour is Is. per sack cheaper, and. Oatmeal witkout variation.

A meeting of the Irish Bishops at present in London was held last week at the residence of the Primate of Ireland. There were not more than seven or eight • present, end of these the Bishops of KILDARE, of Dwarf and (we understand) of Mourn also, dissented from e petition which is to be presented to the KING on Satur day next, against the Relief Bill at present in progress through the Commons' House. There was also a meet- . ing of the English Bishops at the palace of the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY, and we have to congratulate the cause of civil and religious liberty on the fact, of which we have been assured, that twelve English Bishops have declared their intention to support Ministers on the ap preaching division on the Relief Bill in the House of Lords.— Observer. Madame CAMPORESE arrived in England on Friday, and has, in a very handsome manner, commuted to give her gratuitous aid at the Concert at Guildhall ow Thursday morning next, for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian refugees. There is said to be some expectation that Lord GRENVILLE will make an effort to attend in his place in the House of Lords on the second , reading of the Catholic Relief Bill. BOROUGH OF SANDWICH.—A contest has suddenly arisen in the borough of Sandwich, just vaCate4 . , by Sir EDWARD OWEN. Sit HENRY FANE was expected to have been returned without - opposition. On Thursday Sir W. CURTIS canvassed the borough, but gave up, there appearing but little chance of success. Mr. Parer, a bar••. rister of the west, has since started, and is determined to stand a contest. The assizes for this county commence next . Saturday. The calendar is, we understand, very heavy.--.. Birmingham Journal. In Paris, the distress of th• Portuguese re fugees, who sought an asylum at Brest after the affair of Terceira, appears to have created a great deal of sym- pathy, and to have been relieved in rather a novel man ner. A subscription was opened for these unfortunate men, and a ball at 20 francs the ticket took place at Vaux- • hall, for their benefit. The tickets thus sold amounted ; to 1,600, and the number of persons who attended to 1,200. We mention the circumstance only to h are an . opportunity of noticing the singular composition of the party assembled fur this benevolent object. Among • them were found Liberals and courtiers, Princes of the blood, and Paris shopkeepers. But the strangest appear ance of all in such an assembly wan that of the Marquis and Marchioness of LOULE. The Marchioness, w ho is Don MIGUEL'S sister, danced with Gen. SAtnaratA , who headed the sufferers for whom the ball was given. Thus the sister of the usurper, herself persecuted by huts' attends a charitable entertainment to relieve the victims of her brother's perfidy and persecution. A SCOTTISH S OLOMON .--in old tlunegt, r when the landlord of an inu presented his guests w ith deoch an dornis, that is, the drink at the door, o r the, stirrup-cup, the draught was not charged in the reckon - ing. On this point a learned Bailie of the town of Forfar' pronounced a very sound judgment. A., an ale-wife is - .Forfar, had brewed her " peck of malt," and set the quor out of doors to cool ; the cow of 8., a neighbour of: A., chanced to conic by, and seeing the good beverage , was allured to taste it, awl finally to drink it up. Whet , . A. came to take in her liquor, she found her tub erilptY , and from the cow's staggering and staring, so as to b e tray her intemperance, she easily divined the mode in which her , " browst" had disappeared. To take due vengeance on:. Crommie's ribs with a stick was her next effort. The roaring , of the cow brought 8., her master, who remonstratei: with his angry neighbour, and received in reply a demand , for the value of the ale which Crummie had drank up. 1 3 - 4 refused payment, and was conveyed before C., the Bailie,' " or sitting magistrate. He heard the case patiently, Ea then demanded of the plaintiff A , whether the caw had eat down to her potion, or taken it standing. The plaintiff An' . swered, she had not seen the deed:committed, but she sap': posed the cow drank the ale while standing on her feet adding, that bad she been near, she would have made her: use them to some purpose. The Bailie, on this admission, so lemnly adjudged the cow's drink to be deoch an dorlds--.- 4 stirrup-cup, for which no charge could be made, ,without violating the ancient hospitality of Scotland.—Sir Walter Scott. THE GERMAN CHARACTER.—You will: probably find the Cermans in their life, as they appear their literature : the inward world of thought and feeling has always predominated with them. They have been led to national exertions more by indistinct impulse and entho-. sittsm, than by calculating intellect : and while the love of liberty has ever warmed the Geiman breast, it, hat burned most fiercely when their right of freedou conscience was impeded. It i s thi s , th e i r contempla tive tendency, which has led them to enitivate the pleasures afforded in the seclusion of domestic life, ratee than to strive for those inalienable rights which alone eau secure private happiness. The German steps from, the, narrow circle of his family into the boundless field of spe-: culative research; hut, unhappily, he too often forget°, that it is only by his exertions for nutional welfare that he can give a practical value to those researches. Na. people has ever more actively and successfully eulti-, vated the empire of ideas—none neglected more deplor ably the affairs of the commonweal and of actual life., The Germans will be found admirable fathers, virtuoug,_ members of society, loyal subjects, eminent scholars, but, careless citizens. There have, however, been otTuggles glorious ones—for national union and independence.; hoc the rousing spirit has Leen checked and stifled, and the • people soon lulled into a contemplative slumber by the evadle-song of their many thousand cosmopolitical writer's who, with few exceptions, have neglected to affora scope for public life and national activity. When. Gentlemen, I shall have made you acquainted' with the organization of that admirable language ; when, you, yourselves shall have acquired a thorough knowledge of it, and of the treasures which it contains,—then I shall feel truly gratified, if you will participate with me in the belief and hope, that, like the mysterious statue of Memnon, it wilt resound its finest tones when warmed by . the' sun 0 ( liberty, which in your own free and happy:eito:tintri'has, called forth so many masculine, so many Undyini sounds. —Professor Mullenfeld's Introe44cto4 .Leetnre - at, the London University.
