;0 7 as the' The notices had been served, and they ha erything ready to go to Parliament, except the capital, which it was proposed to furnish to them by means of this arrangement.—(Applause.) Mr. Ca.aDwtox, Deputy-Chairman of the Churnet and Blythe Railway, then entered into some statements proving the advantages which would arise from the adoption by Parliament of that line, and its supe.iority over the London and Manchester and North Stafford shire lines. It was, in fact, the best and shortest line to London, its sharpest gradient being 1 in 100, and its lenth only 454 miles. JOHN HARLING, Esq., and W. BURT, Esq., spoke against the plan proposed; the former stating, on the authority of Mr. William Rawson, an advocate for the scheme, that the Churnet and Blythe line would cost at least 40,000/., while the presence of the North Stafford shire, supported by the Grand Junction and the London and Birmingham, would prevent its deriving any of the through traffic, the latter dwelling upon the fact that several of the provisional committee had not paid up their shares, and suggesting that the question of amal gamation should be referred to some able and experienced Parliamentary counsel for his advice. After a prolonged conversational discussion, in which Mr. Heron and Mr. Faulkner reminded the meeting that the North Staffordshire had to go to Parliament as well as the Churnet and Blythe, The CHAIRMAN rose, and proposed consecutively three resolutions—lst, declaring that after the state ments and explanations which had been given to the meeting by the representatives of the Churnet and Blythe Railway Companies, the meeting expressed its intention of uniting the interests of the two Companies. This resolution was carried by a large majority, only fire hands being held up against it. The second resolution carried oat the purpose of the previous motion, and the third (which with the second was carried unanimously), appointed Messrs. Wm. Hill and James Lees members of the provisional committee of the Churnet and Blythe Railway. CONTINENTAL LINES. ROCHEFORT, ROCHELLIE, AND POITIERS.—The plan for the proposed branch from Poitiers to Rochelle and Rochefort has been sent before the administration supe rieure. This is one of the most important sections ofthe west. The surveys for the branch were commenced in September, 1844, and were carried on with great ra pidity in the three departments of Vienne, Deux-Sevres, and the Charente Inferieure. This is the first line form ing a portion of the ensemble to be established in the departments between the Tours and Nantes and the Tours and Bordeaux Railways. ORLEANS AND TOURS.—The concessionary company appears able to open the first section of the line from Orleans to Bordeaux in the beginning of March next. In the department of the Loire the length of the line is 32,346 metres. The works are now so far advanced that barriers are being placed at the paths which cross the railway, while the building for the re ception of the car riages is carried on with th e g reatest activity on the part of the contractor , wh o has undertaken to finish them in the course of the present month. At Beauge nay, also, the works are far advanced. In the depart ment of Loire-et-Cher, in which the length of the rail way is 49,561 metres, it has been necessary to execute works of some extent to confine the waters of the river in their proper bed. The Directors having determined upon giving a fixed residence to each of the watchmen and others employed along the line, some delay has been occasioned in building their residences. The station at Blois is rapidly progressing. The length of the railway in the department of Indre-et-Loire is 33,447 metres, and on this portion the works have been carried on with the greatest activity. The guard-houses are finished, the barriers are being raised, and the stations of Vouvray l of Amboise, and of Mount-Louis are fast approach ing towards completion. The Tours stat io n, the dimensions of which are considerable, is proceeding but slowly ; but this arises from the great care necessarily bestowed upon a work in which the solidity and good disposition of the building are of such importance. CALAIS BRANCH. — The project of uniting Calais with the Belgian frontier has been for a long time past under consideration. "We learn from a good source," says the Journal de Calais, " that the English Company which has at its head Mr. Stephenson, the engineer, con tinuo s to be occupied with the project of uniting Calais with the Belgian railways by Gravelines, Dunkirk, and Fumes, keeping in the most dirt ct line. Agents of the Company have been lately at Calais conferring with M. e you, engineer-in-chief, upon the surveys which he had sdready made, and which might be made useful to them." - - RAILWAY SR ..R.E MARKETS.

To-day two men, at least six feet high, came here demanding a return of twenty shillings, and before I could ascertain whether it was due or not, they laid hold of me, threatening vio lence, and obliged me to call out murder, they fastening the door and the windows. As soon as they found help , ; ,,owing they ran away ; and last week one Joseph Lay rßinained wilfully there un the premises, shouting and th r o . t tening my before I could get a constable, who thrust him out with great difficulty.

Morning 30 minutes after 2 I Evening .. 49 minutes after 2. plaint at exclusion from Trinity College. So it has teen said that, since the establishment of the Uni versity of London, the English Dissenters have no reason to complain of exclusion from Oxford and Cambridge. But new colleges do not enter the race on equal terms with others of ancient name, hallowed by innumerable associations, and fortified by wealth and privileges accumulated through centuries ; and if the Roman Catholics of Ireland wish for a proof of this, they have only to look at the University of Lon don, still struggling against prejudices, and having re ceived to this day no aid which is worthy to be men tioned from the Government, in its arduous competi tion with the time-honoured and richly-endowed Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. But, after all, this is not a question of whether Roman Catholics and Dissenters complain or not, but whether unsectarian colleges are benefits, and ex clusive colleges, evils or not. That unsectarian col leges are benefits, and exclusive colleges evils, was the principle of last year's Irish Colleges Bill. This is an intelligible principle.. To continue to coddle and nurse an exclusive college in Dublin, is to tamper with this principle. If colleges should be unsecta rian, Trinity College, Dublin, should be made un sectarian also. This is not a case in which compro mise or compensation is admissible. We presume that Ireland is not to be legislated for on the principle that she must have some of both—some religious liberty, and some Protestant ascendancy—that she likes, and does not like, Protestant ascendancy,— " Non tecum nec sine to vivere possum." Queen ELIZABETH, who founded Trinity College, founded and endowed it, we are told, to be a nurser for the Protestant Church in Ireland ; but Queen ELIZABETH'S intention is no bar to the Legislature. We need not here enter into the question whether a gift to the State from a private individual hinds, or should bind, the State to perpetual observance of his will ; here the founder is the head cf the nation, acting in a public capacity. It was for the national benefit that Queen ELIZABETH consecrated Trinity College to the ad vancement of the Protestant religion ; and succeeding Sovereigns have followed her in tying up its honours and emoluments to the believers in that one form of Christianity which they have sought to thrust upon Iretid—how vainly, is known to all the world. It ha w come to be generally admitted that the Pro testant religion has suffered in Ireland by all the forcing which has been used, and that the interests of true religion dG not require exclusive seminaries of education. Is Queen ELIZABETH'S intention then to prevent us from applying the wisdom, bought by the experience of two centuries and a half, to legislation for Ireland ? While the genius of Protestanism in Dublin for. mally excludes a Roman Catholic from a scholarship Protestant Oxford is at its wits-end to prevent a Roman Catholic in everything but name from scan dalizing her Protestant pulpit. Dr. PUSEY'S period of suspension from preaching before the University of Oxford has expired ; and on the Ist of Febuary he is to preach the University sermon. Dr. PUSHY has not gone over to the Roman Catholic Church, as Mr. NEWMAN, Mr. WARD, Mr. FABER, and Mr. OAKELEY have done ; but can Protestant Oxford, can the Church of England, in which Dr. PUSEY holds the dignity of a canon, do nothing to prevent him from continuing to preach from her pul pits doctrines whose tendency is proved (if it requires proof) by the many conversions among his followers. " That the doctrines I taught at Elton," writes one of these converts, Mr. FABER, on the 9th of last month, to Mr. GEORGE ROBINSON, Rector of Cran ford, " which were what is vulgarly called Puseyism, were Roman, I entertain no doubt, but I was not aware of it myself. Other parties who condemned Puseyism es Roman were more clear-sighted." And again— " I do most fully confess, that in my judgment sub mission to the Roman Church is the legitimate and only consistent end of Puseyism." Dr. PUSEY is now engaged in editing a series of Jesuit writers, in the pr&-face to the first of which (Sunni) he expresses " his sense of the great value of the practica hints, and temperate and thoughtful cautions' —in hat book does the reader think ? Mr. WARD'S recent book on our existing practical corruptions"—the book for which Oxford degraded Mr. WARD from his degree, and which out raged all English Protestant feeling by its abuse of the Reformation. And this Dr. PUSEY is Canon of Christ Church, and a Professor of the University of Oxford, and is to mount the University pulpit on the Ist of next month ! Where is the Bishop of OXFORD ? Or is there is a Bishop of Oxford ? •" in In accordance with that death movement among the agriculturists, to which we particularly alluded in our last, a rather important demonstration was made yesterday in the public :assembly-rooms in St. James's-street. Animated with a sense of recklessness, and spurred on by a knowledge of their critical and precarious position, these earth-property orators, or, to use still more appropriate language, these mouth pieces of a despairing land-proprietorship, are becoming each successive day more violent in their vituperations upon the League, more virulent in their sarcasm, more resolute in their assumptions, more lavish of their rhetorical and statistical so phistry. No statement is too palpably insufficient for their utterance ; no allusion is too hackneyed for their application of it to themselves; no facts are too meagre and flimsy as a foundation to their num berless and monstrous theories. With particular reference to the Chairman of this meeting in the metropolis, namely, his Grace the Duke of RICH MOND, we shall content ourselves with remarking that his reasonings appear to be as sincere as they are decidedly unstable—that his earnestness is only surpassed by the paucity and inefficacy of his propositions. Lord BEAUMONT, however, demands a most remarkable scrutiny : his metaphors are of such enormous compass, his deductions are so extrava gantly irrational, and his whole view of the question at issue is so distorted and be-patched. Surely no imagination but his Lordship's could embrace the possibility of our representative (on some remote oc casion subsequent to the abolition of the corn-laws) " bending in lowly guise at the foot of the American President, and begging of him in mercy to spare the English a little bread, because (forsooth !) of a scarcity in England coincident with a scarcity throughout Europe." A imirable sagacity of de duction ! Most incontrovertible of positions! Thus, according to the insinuations of his Lordship; the he mispheres are occupied simply by the American and European continents. Lord BEAUMONT would, by the movement of his lips, tacitly annihilate all Asiatic and African territories, besides submerging by a ne • gative the whole of Australia and the bulk of our colonial possessions. A more vague figure of speech can scarcely be conceived, or one more audaciously beyond the swallowing powers of common sense ; and yet, so greatly did the wishes of the auditors preponderate over their reasoning facul ties, that the supposition was greeted with the most hearty and vehement applause. In the declaration, however, which followed immediately afterwards the noble speaker surpassed even himself. " He understood protection to mean such a system of legislation as would secure an abundant supply to the consumer; in fact, give the consumer as much as possible, consistently with a fair price to the pro ducer." There is an infinite amount of plausibility in this definition of " protection" —admirably accurate as a summary of what protection ought to be—but most wonderfully visionary as a portraiture of what if is. The " protection " which in reality arouses the ad miration of Lord BEAUMONT, is protection to the pro ducer exclusively, while the consumer, with exquisite impartiality, is left to shift for himself, under t k incl of impotent se/Tprotection. Such are a few of the fragmentary monstrosities which float in myriads along the gurgite vasto of such speeches as the one uttered by my Lora Th3AtimotsT. As indications of the political hurricane which is about to extinguish for ever these agricultural mo nopolists, they are interesting enoug h ; but, as sen s'ble and manly arguments agqiPst their c‘ppoilents, they are worse than untenable —they are prepos terous. They at once afford to the members of the League a subject for the smile of self-asslirance "4 the laughter of derision . We have received Madrid journals of the sth, with the report of the discussion on the Address in tiia Chamber of Deputies, the result of which we gave yesterday, as communicated by a telegraphic dispatch to Paris, The only part in the debate of the slightest interest is the speech of General NARVAEZ. In reply to charges made by Senhors SEIJAS and Hoz, he said it was no fault of the Government that the negotia tions with Rome had not been brought to a favourable conclusion. The Government had, throughout the whole business, neglected neither the interests of the nation nor the privileges of the Crown. "It has been asserted," continued he, " that the QUEEN was not re cognised by the POPE, but I declare that the relations between the two Sovereigns are most friendly, and that the Spanish Envoy in Rome is highly re spected, and treated as the Minister Plenipo tentiary of the Queen of SPAIN. Her MAJESTY has even in her possession letters from his HOLINESS who calls her his most beloved daughter.' The settlement of the dotation of the clergy alone prevents her formal recognition by the Holy See. With re gard to the marriage question, the QUEEN had not yet expressed any desire o►► the subject, and that when her MAJESTY should think proper to make a choice, the Ministers would hasten to inform the Cortes of her resolution." The amendment was rejected by a majority of 117 to 33, which shows that NARVAEZ has the complete control of the Chamber. The Three per Cents. closed at 35-1 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 23i for the 23d inst. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the busi ness before the two Chambers. At the close of the debate in the Peers, on Saturday, M. GUIZOT was ex pected to reply to the speeches of Baron Darin and the Count MONTALEMBERT, but, owing to the lateness of the hour, be deferred his remarks till Monday. On Saturday the Chamber of Deputies, in Committee, ex amined the extraordinary and supplementary credits for 1845 and 1846, which, after certain reductions, amount to 29,000,000 f. for the two years. The chief increase has been caused by additional rein forcements for Algiers. For the expenses of the fleet on the River Plata, the operations against the slave trade and Madagascar, the Minister of Marine demands 8,000,000 f., and for the losses by the fire at Toulon, 3,165,000 f. The credits re quired by the other departments are not large. In the Committee on the Address M. VITET read the draft to be laid before the Cham ber on Monday, when M. ST. MARC-GIRARDIN pro posed an amendment, to the effect that the Govern ment had shown an absence of foresight in the late events in Algeria, but the whole of the other members of the Committee were opposed to it, and the amend ment consequently was rejected. Several public documents of great importance had been laid before the Chamber by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Among others, two letters from M. GUIZOT to the French Ministers at London and Washington, rela tive to the annexation of Texas. Fro:n these, which we subjoin, it will be seen that the French Govern ment was extremely averse to the annexation, and also views with strong jealousy the encroachments of the United States on the side of Mexico. No Mini ster who regarded the interests of France, and the proper balance of power in the new world, could take any other view of the deceitful and outrageous ma chinations at work in that quarter. The following communications from M. GUIZOT on the subject will be read with interest : " TEXAS.—No. 7. "M. GUIZOT TO COUNT DE SAINTE AULAIRE. " Paris, Jan. 20, 1844. " Monsieur le Comte,—Lord Cowley has read to me a dispatch, written to him by Lord Aberdeen, on the pro ject. formed at Washington, of preparing the annexation or Texas to the United States' Confederacy. The prin cipal Secretary for Foreign Affairs expresses in that dis patch the wish to know if the King's Government be disposed to providing its Envoy to the United States with instructions similar to those which the Britattnic Envoy will receive to manifest the opposition of his Government to such a preject. You may announce to Lord Aberdeen that I shall write to the same effect to M. Pageot. Texaz , having been acknowledged as inde pendent by several of the great Powers, and particularly by that which now seems to absorb it, it is evident that we have a right to appreciate the act which would annihilate that independence, and to urge the objections to which it may give rise, as respects either right or interests. Those objections are numerous. It is known that even in the United States the wish for the annexa tion in question is far from being unanimous. If the slave states are very anxious for it, in order to subject to a system of customs' duties by which they are bound a coun try whose commercial competition they dread, and, above all, to secure to themselves, by the acquisition of an ally, a preponderance in the confederacy, the other states would, by a natural consequence, view it with extreme repugnance, and though it behoves us not to meddle with that internal contention, the consideration on which it rests is certainly not of a nature to make us lean to the side of the partisans of the annexation. Our direct in formation from Texas seems, besides, to prove that the majority of the Texian people are contrary to it, and that the th•aught of it is energetically rejected by the existing Government. It is, therefore, only by the aid of violence, more or less avowed, or more or less dis guised, that it could be accomplished; and, I repeat it, it would in no respect suit us to accept such a change without opposition." "M. GUIZOT TO M. PAGEOT. "10,h February, 1844. " Sir,—l have received the dispatches you have ad , dressed me unto No. 36, and the date of the 28th of De. cember last. What President Tyler's Message has disclosed, re specting the projects of the Federal Government, re garding the annexation of Texas to the United States, and what you have written to me about, it could not fail to attract my serious attention. That of the London Cabinet is not less excited as to this question, as you will find by the accompanying copy of a dispatch I ad dressed on the 29th of January to Count de St. Aulaire, in consequence of a communication made to me by Lord Aberdeen, through the medium of Lord Cowley. This communication referred to the opposition which the English Government proposed offering to any project of incorporating Texas with the Confederacy's territory, as well as to the instructions to be forwarded to Mr. Paken ham, Lord Aberdeen having wished to know whether he had the same intentions, I have desired Count de Sainte Aulaire to inform him that you would receive similar instructions. " The last reports from the French Legation in Texas, whilst telling me of the efforts of the Wash ington Government and its representatives at Anastie, to prepare the annexation, represented President Hous ton as energetically opposed to any arrangement of that description, and protesting that nothing of the kind should take place so long as he should direct affairs. The language held here by M. Ashol Smith is not less explicit. Nevertheless, it behoves us to know whether both faithfully express the opinion and wishes of Texas, and whether the question of the annexation to the States of the confederacy, if agitated in the Texian Cangress, would not be affirmatively resolved on there. That annexation would be lawfully justifiable, but in the event of its being voluntary, and not the result of violence on the part of the United States—and with us, as well as with England, it is, above all, on the resist ance of the majority of the Texian people to the accom plishment of such a project, that the opposition we should manifest would be founded. But, I shall add, that even should the annexation be volunt ar y an d f ree l y assented to on the part of Texas, considerations, both political and commercial, would not permit us to view it with indifference ; and that, under all circumstances, we must wish that that country remain independent. " In a political point of view a real interest of equi librium is connected with the preservation of that inde. pendence. The annexation of Texas, by extending the United States' territory to the Rio Grande, would yield the immediate consequence of bringing them in contact with Mexico, .bat is to say, afford them the means of invading and encroaching upon that country whenever they pleased. Now, it cannot suit us to see that barrier fall ; everything leads us to desire that a confederacy as powerful as that of the United States remain at a dis tance from the Mexican frontier, by the interposition of a state, also formed, it is true, of an Anglo-Saxon race, but still, and for a long time to come, feeble enough not to justify the same fears, whilst it would still sufficiently fulfil its destination of opposing the invasions of that confederacy. "In a commercial point of view we have also reasons for desiring the maintenance of the independence of Texas. Futurity has chances which we must not lose sight of ; and, from this moment, we might find in the Texas colonists a progressive element of exportation, and, above all, a real aliment for our direct navigation, an advantage which we have not, and can scarcely expect from the United States, " Lastly, Sir, for the very reason that France has beers the first of the European Powers to acknowledge the independence of Texas, and to connect itself with that Republic by a treaty of unity and commerce, does it not, as it were, behove our dignity to see that what we have so solemnly acknowledged be respected and preserved t " From all these considerations we must be naturally contrary to any project tending to the absorption of Texas by the United States. I know not what the tenor may be of the instructions sent from London . to Mr. Pakenharn, and consequently bow far the Engll4 Cabinet intends carrying the manifestation and conse. quences of its opposition; but I say enough as concerns us not to let you be mistaken as to the attitude you are to assume, and the language you are to hold, W e rpgilifea our opposition to any violent and forced annexe. tion of Texas to the United States, and even should that Republic spontaneously pronounce itself, as th e j ournals ' news announce, you would still have to express yourself in such way as to make it known and well recorded by the federal Government, that we cannot behold with in difference such an occurrence; and, in the event of its taking place, we could not dispense with very expressly ' making every lawful rmod as to the alterations that would result 41A the position and advantages our treaty with the Texian Republic has yielded us in that country. I, however, confide in your judgment and experience, and you will, besides, be enabled to come to an under standing with Mr. I'akenham as to this object, which is common to the two legations."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a very firm market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday. Sales 6,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation. Prices were very firmly maintained, and in some instances higher. A large business was done in shares, but scrip was generally lower. The movement in the commercial markets is not very decided, but for to- morrow a good many sales are declared, and the dealers who have become low in stock, as usual when the year is commencing, are now compelled, from the increasing demand for consumption, to come into the market as buyers. The deliveries, therefore, from the London ware houses are increasing considerably. Custom-house management, or rather mis-management, is pretty well understood, and it is astonishing that the frequency of complaint had not long ere this more effect upon the Board. Better late than never, however, is a con solitary saying, and it is hoped that the appointment of additional superintendents just made will tend to facilitate business at the docks, and serve as a protection to the fair trader into the bargain ; for what with delays and duties, the penchant for smuggling is not very difficult to account for; in fact, smugglers might teach a useful lesson on the quick delivery system.

MUT_ 11,1 Atit ONDON, TUESDAY. JANUARY 13, 1846. It will be seen from two dispatches addressed by M. GUIZOT to the French Ministers at London and Wash ington, published in another part of The Sun, that the Government of LOUIS PHILIPPE has been for some time convinced that the annexation of Texas to the United States is fraught with great danger to France as well as to England. We never had any doubt as to the view which the ICING and his sagacious Minister would take of such a wanton aggression, but, owing to the hostile feeling displayed towards this country by a certain portion of the Paris press, and their sympathy for the encroaching Americans, we hardly expected that their convictions would be expressed in such strong and unequivocal language. By acknow ledging the independence of Texas, the French Go vernment conceived that they had, to a certain extent, established a barrier between the United States and the defenceless republic of Mexico, and hoped that in time a state would grow up sufficiently strong to ward off further encroachments. But in this they mere com pletely deceived and literally " taken in." A regular plot had been formed between the chief men of the new, independent, and free, republic of Texas and the TYLERS and Poias to disarm all opposition to the annexation on the part of other powers. The Texian chiefs professed their sole object was independence, and all they required from England and France was to recognise the territory as an independent state ; and no sooner did they lead these two powers into the snare than they carried out the plan concocted in the United States, and joined that republic. Of course no country had a right to object to the mea sure. The Texians were free, and might do what they liked with their own. They are nearly all of Anglo• Saxon race ; they consider themselves too weak yet to stand alone, and they, therefore, coalesce with their strongest neighbour, to whom they are bound by so many affinities and interests. The acc mnplishment of this nefarious trans action was effected by deep and selfish cunning, and its astonishing success, as well as the very humiliation of England and France, which had been so egregiously duped, have emboldened the rulers of the United States to put forth higher pretensions, and to claim the sole right of managing affairs in the New World. M. Guizor expresses his just appre hensions at seeing the overgrown republic extending its frontier to the Rio Grande, and thereby coming into immediate contact with Mexico; for it was the wish of the French Government that a powerful state should be created in that quarter, with a view to protect Mexico against further encroachments. But in that he has been disappointed, and he, therefore, candidly declares that " the French Government eahnot behold such an occurrence with indifference." Louis PHILIPPE and his Ministers would be hopelessly blind if they did, for the uncontrolled dominion of the American Republic in the New World would be as dangerous to France as the uncontrolled dominion of Russia or Austria, or England in Europe. But if such were the feelings of the French Cabinet twelve months ago, what are they now, when POLK, with the most reckless daring, has defied all the European Powers, and forbidden them either to establish colonies in the northern hemi sphere, or interfere in any way whatever with the policy of the United States ? It is only sur prising that a bond of union has not already been formed by these states, and a manifesto issued, pro testing, in the strongest terms, against such lawless as sumption. America is now only ten or twelve days' sail from Europe; it is connected with many of the States by the closest ties of commerce, policy, and other in terests; it must always have a great influence on the affairs of England, France, Prussia, and Russia, and can they submit tamely to be interdicted from using their influence in turn ? But the affair requires no discussion. Every careful observer can see that the object of POLK and his party is continued encroach ment and additional conquests. General Cess, who seems to be the favorite orator of the Senate, and the right-hand man of the PRESIDENT, openly declared in that assembly that "he would go for all future extensions of our general area, where they could be rightfully made (witness Texas). There was nothing to fear from the extension of our borders," and then he broke out in violent language against Great Britain, and after such admissions about extending their "general area," grievously complained that they " had been charged as an ambitious and grasping nation." No European State would now dare to make use of such flimsy pretexts for universal dominion, and for the good of the people themselves they must be un deceived. They are still sadly deficient in civiliza tion an in many of the primary virtues necessary to consolidate a great state. They require, therefore, for some time longer the European schoolmaster to teach them the distinctions between meum and tuum, to teach them that honesty is the best policy, that they should pay off their old scores before they con tract new debts, and that England and France will not stand by idle while they are extending their " general area" to the Isthmus of Panama. The visitors of Trinity College, Dublin, have dis missed the appeal of the Roman Catholic student seeking admission to one of the scholarships of the College. They could do no otherwise. It was their part to interpret the existing statutes of the College ; and the published opinion of their legal assessor (Judge KEATINGE), must satisfy every one that the scholarships and fellowships of Trinity College, Dub lin, are confined by the statutes to Protestants. That is the law. The visitors cannot alter it. But other parties can. And the next question is, should it not De altered 7 In Belfast, Galway, and Cork, a Conservative Go vernment has planted three colleges, in which Pro testant and Catholic students are to mingle on equal terms, and all posts of honour and emolument are to be open equally to members of any Christian per suasion, Can it be said of religious equality that it is a good thing in Belfast and a bad thing in pnblin Sir R. PEEL, has given a Roman Catholic prePideut to one of the new colleges. But, while the very highest academical post is thus to be filled by a Roman Catholic clergyman in Cork, the very lowest place in the foundation of Trinity College, Dublin, is inaccessible to a Roman clttholic, Where is the con aisteßcy or common sense of this ? Oh r but it may bp said that the very establishment of these • three unsectarian colleges in Ireland takes away from the Xonuul Catholic all ground of cow- I PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.
