This volume embraces Berkeley's Idealism, Home's Sceptism, and many other " isms," to which such men as Condi!lac, Reid, Cant, and Fichte gave a temporary interest, though only to a very small portion of the com munity. The subject is extremely uninteresting, for it exhibits men, <4 great minds we admit, disputing about subjects which are beyond their co:nprehension, and occasionally quarrelling with each other, merely because the language of the one is unintelligible, or misunder stood by the oth e r. Th e y fi g h t w i t h shadows, and, as far as common readers can judge, would all be of the same way of thinking, if they had words sufficiently definite to explain their meaning. It is necessary, how ever, to know something of these wars of ideas which have made such a noise in the world,and the present brief outline of the tenets held by those of modern times, drawn up by Mr. E. 11. Lewes, will be found well calculated for the purpose. The result would lead to the conviction that the men called metaphysicians have hitherto been a most unprofitable race, and that the vortices of Des cartes, and the vagaries of Ilegel, of which, in the words of Dr. Ott, " absurdity is the basis," are just as useful to.society as all the rest put together. Mr. Lewes, who seems to be of the same opinion, thus con cludes his remarks on the History of Philosophy : " Modern philosophy staked its pretensions on the one question : Have we any ideas independent of experience ? This was asking, in other words, Have we any organtenz of philosophy ? " The answer always ends in a negative. If any one, therefore, remain unshaken by the accumulated proofs this History affords of the impossibility of philosophy, let bins distinctly bear in mind that the first problem lie must solve is, Have we ideas independent of experience? Let him solve that ere he begins to speculate. "And now, reader our task is done."

By the Rec. Francis Trench. 2 Vols. This is a book without pretensions, and therefore it disarms criticism. We cannot well conceive, however, what objects the writer had in view, f•r it gives little or uo new insight into either the faith or the features of Scotland. We have, it is true, a long and tedious account of the Auchterardef case and its results, with an outline of the speeches made in the General Assembly of the Free Church, held at Inverness last year ; but all the details respecting these have already been fully reported in the newspapers, from which, In deed, the reverend author admits he borrowed them. And, as regards the features of the country, and the habits of the people, the information is exceedingly scanty, the remarks in general have no novelty, and we search in vain for anything like a description of the sys• tern of agriculture for which Scotland is so celebrated, or any statistical details which can show that the country has any peculiarities whatever. It is, in fact, a simple diary which the writer made in his pony chaise, or at the inns where he stopped on his way, interspersed oc casionally with amusing anecdotes, and with devout meditations, which exhibit all the features of a sincere Christian and a man of amiable dispositions.

Rumours are rife that one, if not two, of the medals has this year been awarded in direct violation of the charter, independently of having been voted in opposi tion to constitutional forms. A strong remonstrance, we hear, has been made, which, if not taken into con sideration, or if, perhaps, the awards be not revoked, by the council, will probably become a case for the de cision of the Lord Chancellor. If sueh be the truth, and we fear there are strong grounds for its founda tion, we trust that the scandal of a public exposure may be avoided ; that a right and rigorous spirit of investi gation may be exercised by the governing body ; and that, if the outrage be proved, it may be brought 'home to the real delinquents. In the present stage of the pro ceedings, we refrain from further comment, and merel) give the subjoined statement of the apparent ILLEGAL AWARD OF ONE ROYAL MEDAL. The following notice is affixed to the first part of the " Philosophical Transactions for 1845," and the same notice has been affix( d to every volume of the " Philoso phical Transactions" published since 1837 : " Her Majesty Queen Victoria, in restoring the royal medals, has been graciously pleased to approve the fol lowing regulations for the award of them :—That the royal medals be given fur such papers only as have been presented to the Royal Society and inserted in their • Transactions.'" The second part of the " Philosophical Transactions for 1845" has been published, and does not contain the paper fur which the royal medal in physiology was awarded at the last anniversary meeting of the Society on the Ist of December. The medal has consequently been awarded by the council for a paper that has not been inserted in the " Transactions' of the Royal So ciety, contrary to the regulations ordered by the Crown. —Literary Gazette of Saturday. MANSFIELD GUARDIANS. It seems as if it were decreed that the guardians of Mansfield union should stand moat conspicuously before the world. It is not long ago that their names were called into question i❑ the House of Commons in re gard to the non-producing wheel ; since then, a ques tion has arisen against them on account of the room in which travelling mendicants were lodged during nights, said to be most unfit to place them, and the Poor-law Commissioners' attention was called, and they caused tho room to be improved. A month ago, the guardians, contrary to the spirit (and we think will prove contrary to the letter too) of the poor law Acts, passed a resolu tion that no able-bodied mendicant should be admitted into the union house for a night's lodging, though, by the law, they are compelled, before quitting the house on a morning, to perform a task of work in return for the lodging afforded them. Since this most extraordi nary resolution was passed, vagrants, who have been refused admission into the house, have committed various offences, such as breaking windows, gas-lamps, and taking provisions out of a shop, for the express pur • pose, as they stated, of obtaining lodgings at the police office and in prison. Some of these men having been taken before Major Coke, he, with a promptness which does him great credit, put himself in communication with the Poor-law Commissioners. The Commission ers, through Mr. Weale, Assistant Commissioner, in stantly instituted an inquiry into all this, and if we are not greatly mistaken, the guardians will once more find themselves at fault. We hope to be enabled to learn the result of Mr. Weale's inquiry, and put the public in possession of it. Since the resolution was passed, vagrants who had been refused admission into the workhouse have gone to Mr. Richardson, the present acting overseer of the poor, and demanded assistance. At some times he has sent for the police to remove the applicants, and other times given ,relief out of his own pocket, fearing his shop windows would be broken. Three weeks ago Mr. Ri chardson wrote to the Poor-law Commissioners upon the subject, and he received a reply from them to say the matter was one of serious consequence, and would be duly'inquired into. We never yet heard of any union workhouse, except Mansfield. being without beds for vagrants. At Mans field, they , lie upon straw at nights, and until bed time they are placed in another room on the ground floor, without a fire, scarcely anything (if anything at all) to sit upon, and provision not very bountiful. A con demned felon has a bed, a fire, and proper sustenance ; but a month ago, three or four vagrants found themselves so cheerless and cold in the lodging place, prior to being sent to their bed of straw, that they actually pulled up boards in one of the sleeping-places, put them into the firegrate, in the fireplace, and ignited them in order to be warmed. These things must not, and shall not, be longer tolerated.—Aottingham Review. RICHARD COBDEN.—And one at least of that body has won a larger measure of confidence and respect than per haps was ever before awarded, both by friends and enemies, to the leader of a great enterprise. Calm, indefatigable, in flexible; with singleness of purpose, never diverted to the right hand or the left; shrinking from no fatigue, shunning no opponent, and never yielding to an antagonist an advan tage in temper or argument; reasoning not for effect but to produce conviction, and carrying conviction by communicat ing to the minds of others, with the evidence of plain facts i❑ plain words, a belief in his own sincerity; the right cham pion appeared at the right time; the hour came and the man ; the man without whom public opinion would even yet have been so unformed upon the fallacies of protect ion, that no Whig or Tory ministry could have dared to propose more than a slight or temporary modification of the existing sys tem—the man who has given to this generation the blessings which without him would not have been realised till the next; and the honest thanks of all good men be given now, end hereafter the world's gratitude, to Richard Cobden. — Westminster Review. DETERMINED SulcinE.—Mr. Bedford OR Saturday held an inquest at the Chesterfield Arms, Stanhope-street, Mayfair, on the body of Mrs. Henrietta Herbert, aged 67, who destroyed herself under the following circumstances : Emma Herbert, the daughter of the deceased, residing at 6, Bolton-street, Piccadilly, stated that her mother had been living at Windsor, but was in such a low and desponding state of mind that she persuaded her to come to town, which she did about a fortnight ago, and lodgings were taken for her at Carrington-street, Mayfair. Witness was in the habit of seeing her daily, and on calling on Friday, to her horror, found her suspended by a rope to the bed dead. An alarm was given, and she was cut down, but a ' surgeon, who was in attendance, pro.. nounced her dead, and that she had been so for some hours. She was under an impression .that her land lady would turn her out of the hous e, when, in fact, she had always behaved very kind to her. Her manner had been ver y strangely altered of lat e, especially on trifling subjects. Mrs. Slater, the landlady of the house, gave evidence of the unhappy state of the deceaeed's mind ever since she had bred with her. She had often wished she was dead ; regretted very much leaving Windsor. and complained of the conduct of a young man named Barnard, who, she said, was setting her daughters against her. This, however, did not appear to be so, but was entirely a delusion. After some other evi dence, the jury were not satisfied without further inquiry, and the inquest was adjourned. IMPORTANT TO FISHERMEN.—FOUTteCH mackerel nets, two pieces of cordage, and two casks which appear to belong to an English fishing boat, have been picked np at sea by the French boat St. Jean, and taken into the port of Calais If these are not claimed before the Ist of April next, they will be disposed of by public authority.—Brigliton llcrald. TRADE AT BLACKBURN.—The cotton trade here is worse than it was a fortnight ago There is very little demand for manufactured goods, and prices are ruinous to the manu facturer. Yarns remain rather flat, and prices much the same. Power-loom weavers are at present fully employed, but those engaged in waiving by hand are in most mi sera bl e circumstances. Many of them have not much more th an h a lf work and wages are very low. Joiners, builders, and masons, have a tolerably good share of employment at the stations of the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton railway, and the Blackburn and Preston railway. Engineers, millwright::, moulders, smiths, and mechanics, are not so well employed as they were some time past. Block and machine printing, at Church, Parish, Accrington, Oswaldtwisle, and their neighbourhoods, are still flat; but hopes are entertained that as soon as the ministerial measures have passed the House of Lords things will be better.—Manchestel Examiner. SWITZERLAND. A foreign journal publishes the two follewing dis patches, which have been addressed by Lord Aberdeen to the British Minister in Switzerland : (No. 1.) " Foreign-office, Jan. 13, 1846. " Sir,—The intelligence communicated in your dis patch of the 24th of November, with respect to the affairs of the Canton de Vaud, and more particularly as regards the conduct of the Government of that canton towards the clergy, has been received with great regret by her Majesty's Government, and has excited deep sympathy with the persecuted pastors, among various classes of her Majesty's subjects. " So painful indeed has been the impression which recent events in that part of Switzerland have caused in this country that members of differelit evangelical per suasions have petitioned her Majesty's Government to exert their influence with the authorities of the canton groundsiT) behalfof separatedthe themselves who have, on conscientious the Church recog nised by the state. But, although this petition is con fined to the prayer that the Government of the Canton de Vaud will afford to those pastors their protection in the free exercise of the worship of God, and does not profess to seek for their restoration to the churches which they have for conscience sake been constrained to abandon, her Majesty's Governrient feel that it is not competent - for them to interfere, even in this limited sense, with the internal administration of an independent state. "At the same time I can have no hesitation in authorising you to express in any quarter in which you think a knowledge •f it may be useful, the feeling of deep regret with which her Majesty s Government have received 3 our report of the proceedings to which I have above alluded, as well as their conviction that perse verance in such a course must sooner or later involve the canton, and indeed the Swiss Confederation, in re newed troubles, and materially impede a settlement of the previously existing differences which her Majesty's Government have already had occasion to deplore. "I am, &c., (Signed) " ABERDEEN." (No. 2.) " Foreign-office, January 30, 1846. " Sir--Your dispatch (No. 4), of the 22d inst., en closing the note addressed to you on the 14th by the Council of the Canton de Vaud, relative to the differ ences which have arisen between the Government of that canton, and a portion of the clergy of the Na ional Church, has been received and laid before the Queen. " My dispatch (No. 1), of the 13th inst., will Nava made you sufficiently acquainted with the painful effect produced in this country by the proceedings of the Go vernment of the Canton de Vaud towards the seceding clergy, as well as with the opinion e ntertained by her Majesty's Government that a perseverance in such a course must, sooner or later, b e a ttended with results most detrimental to the welfare of the canton and indeed of the Swiss Confederation. " You .will have likewise gathered from that dispatch that the desire of her Majesty's Government not to in terfere with the internal administration of an indepen dent state, was the sole reason which prevented them from expressing those sentiments officially to the Go vernment of the canton. But, now that the Vaudois Council of State, invested as it is with full powers in re• spect to Church affairs, has itself invited her Majesty's Government to pronounce their judgment upon the pro ceedings which form the subject of the documents trans mitted to you on the 14th instant, her Majesty's Go vernment can have no hesitation in authorising you to express directly to the Executive Government of the Canton de Vaud, in answer to that invitation, the feel ing of deep regret with which they have viewed the course pursued by that Government towards the clergy of their canton. " The Council of State observes, at the conclusion of the letter which they addre sse d t o y ou on the 14thin stant, That a distinction can easily be made in the do cuments in question, between what bears a general cha racter and what is peculiar to the legislation and position of their canton.' " Her Majesty's Government are unable to compre hend how any peculiarity of legislation or position can be considered as justifying a d e p ar t ure from those first principles of civil and religi ous f ree dom, the mainte nance of which furms the distinction of civilized Chris- tian states, and had, till now,beentbe boast of the Can ton de Vaud. On the contrary, her Majesty's Government were entitled to expect that those cantons which call themselves liberal would have been solicitous to establish their claim to that title, by setting the example of a scrupulous regard, equally f or t h e r i g ht s an d liberties of t'eir own citizens, as well as for those of their con federates. " The respect which her Majesty's Government enter tertain for the independence of the Swiss Cantons, as for that of all Sovereign States, would, I have already ob,erved, have withheld thorn from expressing theiropinions in the present official form ; b u t the Vaudois Government having appealed to her Majesty's Govern ment for their judgment, they feel that t he y c a nnot give a better proof of the sincere interest they take in the welfare of the whole confederation, of which the Canton de Vaud constitutes so important a member, than by frankly, but with deep regret, expressing their convic tion, that perseverance in the course pursued by the Government of Lausanne, with resp ect to religi ous matters, must involve the canton, and indeed the Swiss Confederation, in renewed troubles, and by impeding a settlement of the previously existing differ ences, which her Majesty's Government have had al ready occasion to deplore, endanger, through the rup ture of the Fect•ral Compact, the national independence of all the Swiss people. " I have to desire that you will communicate a copy of this instruction, as well as of my dispatch (No. 1), of the 13th hist., to the Government of the Canton de Vaud, and that you will make known the senti men t s ex p resse d therein in any quarter in which the knowledge of them may be deemed useful.

A gen tleman, anxious to learn the result of the division before he went to church, waited the arrival of the post, and as soon as he heard the amount cf the majority he went to church, and handed to another gentleman, on a slip of paper, the announcement of Peel's majority.

A paper has just been placed before Parliament, showing the lamentable condition of the Iriah people, the dreadful maladies which have everywhere arisen out of the scarcity of food, and the frightful ravages which have already been made in the population by diseases of a contageous character. This paper is, in deed, a realisation of our gloomiest forebodings ; the particulars are of the most heart-touching description, and their authenticity is beyond the reach of incredulity. They are embodied as " Abstracts of the most serious representations made by the several medical superin tendents of public institutions (fever hospitals, infirma ries, dispensaries, &c.)in the provinces of Ulster, Munster, Leinster, and Connaught." These reports are dated daring the past February, the provinces and counties are given in due succession, the name of each establishment, and of each medical su perintendent is given in each instance, while the reports themselves are brief and emphatic. Of these we shall transcribe a few at random : ANTRIM—RANDILSTOW.N—Jaun dice: and diarrhoea exist from unsoundness and insufficiency of food. Breaking out of disease apprehended where destitution exists. CAVA N—BE LTURBET—DySpep:IB, diseases of alimen tary canal, dysentery, and diarrhoea are caused by un sound fjod.

(From the Dublin Evening Post.) An occurrence took place this morn i ng , in St- Cathe rine's Churchyard, which appears to us deserving of severe reprension and public exposure. Arrangements bad been made for the interment of a highly respectable citizen, the late Surgeon Roney, of Kildare -street, in the burial-ground of that church, where many mem bers of his family have found their last resting-place. As the deceased gentleman was a Catholic, his rela tions were anxious that a clergyman of that communion should attend the funeral, and read the burial service at the grave. For this purpose, as the law requires it, application had been made yesterday to the rector, the Rev. H. Hurst, for the necessary permis sion. This form having been complied with, and no refusal having been given, a Catholic clergyman accor dingly attended this morning ; but just as he was about to commence the solemn office, the sexton, or some other underling of the rector, made his way amongst the rela tives and friends of the deceased, crowded around the grave, and served the following notice : " To the Minister or Priest about to officiate at the fu- neral of - Roney, Esq. " I hereby warn you that if any religious services, otherwise than those of the Church of England and Ire land be performed in my church-yard by any one than an ordained minister of the church, and according to the rites of the Established Church, I will take legal pro ceedings against you." " 11. HURST, Rector of St. Catherine's, Dublin. " Match 11, 1846." This insulting and unnecessarily offensive proceeding caused the deepest indignation amongst the relatives and friends of the deceased. If permission had been refusf d yesterday, the interment would have taken place without the Catholic service, or the remains of Surgeon Roney would, probably, have been consigned to one of the Catholic burial-grounds. But, the feeling was na tural that his ashes should mingle with those of his family in the same burial-ground ; and it never could have been contemplated, when a day had elapsed after the application to the rector, that such an outrage upon the feelings of his relatives, and the sanctity of the grave, would have been attempted. It is thus, however, that the Established Church in Ireland confronts the Catholics of this country at every turn, and renders it impossible for them to forget, for an instant, the power still conferred on that Church by the law to insult the people with its arrogant ascendancy, even at the brink of the grave. Such mementos, at such ' a place, have a most salutary tendency—they remind the people of one of their most intolerable social and politi cal grievances. The Protestant incumbents of Dublin have already lost a large revenue since the establishment of the Ca tholic cemeteries. The exhibition in Catherine's church yard, this day, must strengthen the repugnance of Ca tholics to incur similar insults to themselves and their clergy for the future. THE NEW METROPOLITAN _ BUILDINGS ACT. On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylelsone Yes. try (the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair), Mr. NICHOLAY, pursuant to notice, brought this very important subject unier the consideration of the vestry. He said the ves try were probably aware that a new Act, called the Metropolitan Buildings Act, came into operation about twelve months since. During the progress of that Bill through the House, it was found to contain so many ex traordinary, unjust, and oppressive clauses, that even Sir James Graham expressed his opinion that such an Act could not long remain the law of the land.—(Hear.) It had formerly been the boast of Englishmen " that every house was his castle;" but since that Bill had passed, they had found only the shadow left and the substance gone. So oppressive were the clauses of this Act that an official surveyor could enter your house at any time, with a peace officer, upon the mere suspicion that you were having some alteration made in your premises. If yeti desire the slightest alteration in a chimney, want a bell wire to pas through a party wall, or even an inch or two taken out of the brickwork to let in a kitchen-range, you dare not do it without giving notice to the district surveyor, and in every instance the owner of the house had had to pay a fee.—(Shame.) Amongst the other absurdities of this Bill was the fact that, whilst it compelled you to build with brickwork of the most massive description, it would allow iron columns as supporters no thicker than mere laths. Indeed, no man could alter his own house without giving notice to the surveyor, under a penalty of fifty pounds. Sir James Graham, instead of bringing in this 1 Bill himself, had entrusted the matter to the Earl of Lincoln, and although suggestions were offered by prac tical men, not one of those suggestions were incorporated in tle Bill. There was another clause in the Bill which compelled any person who should build a wall forty feet Ion" - to build such wall four feet wide, and if the wall a I was eighty fret long then they were compelled to build it eight feet wide.—(Laughter.) Could any one believe the Legislature would pass a measure containing such a mass of absurdities ?—(Hear, hear.) There was now a Bill introduced fur an alteration of that part of the Bill relative to referees; and in this respect the law was monstrous, for, whether right or wrong, the party who was taken, in case of dispute with a surveyor, before the referees had to pay all expenses.—(Shame.) This new Bill, to which he (Mr. Nicholay) now referred, was called " A Bill to amend the Construction and Use of Buildings in the Metropolis and its Neigh bourhood," but ;t did not contain one word on the subject.—(Laughter.) It was only regarding these referees, who, monstrous as it might appear, were allowed to act as surveyors themselves.—(Shame.) He (Mr. Nicholay) had asked Mr. Hume's advice on the matter, and he understood from that gentleman that Sir James Graham was about to intreduce a new Bill, and had expressed his desire to receive information from practical men on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) He there fore begged to move " that a committee be appointed to co-operate with other parishes, and to petition Parlia ment upon the subject." The motion having been seconded by Mr. H. BIERS, Sir PETER LALRIE expressed his conviction that Sir James Graham had nothing to do with the matter, but that it was Lord Canning, the present head of the oods and Forests. _ _ _ Mr. BIERS said the Bill had already been introduced, and the names on the back of it were Sir James Graham and Mr. M. Sutton. Mr. BUSHELL said there was a committee in existence which had been appointed on the former Bill, and he thought the matter would be safe in their hands. Mr. BIERS said there was more wanted to be done than merely referring this important matter to a com mittee. He believed the object of Mr. Nichelay was that they should not only petition Parliament, but ap point a deputation forthwith to wait upon Sir James Graham.—(Hear, hear.) If they were going to wait until next Saturday, they might as well give up the mat ter altogether. He was glad to find that the public now began to feel the effects of this measure, for at tiret it was supposed it would only apply to builders. The great fault was in employing too large a staff, and use less officers, for which they had to pay 3,0001. a year out of the county rate. As well as the referees, there was another officer, that of registrar, perfectly useless. —(Hear.) He begged to assure the vestry that the parishes in the metropolis generally were very eager to take up . this matter ; and he was instructed by the authorities of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields to say, that they were quite prepared to join in the matter.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN read a letter which had been received from the parish of Kensington offering their co-opera tion also. Mr. HERBERT would just show how this Bill affected the public. He had been before these referees, who got 3,0001. for doing nothing. Under the old Act the tees in case of dispute only amounted to three guineas. Under the new Act the fees of these officers were at first Li. 17s. 10d., and out of that sum, although he (Mr. Herbert) was right and the surveyor wrong, the surveyor had two guinea fees handed to him out of his (Mr. Herbert's) pocket.—(Shame.) They then came upon him for five guineas for extra building., and his law costs were R 1., making in the whole 201. Another infamy was that the clauses were retrospective, and they were going to inflict an injury on the poorer classes by compelling a re-construction of all under-ground build ings, whilst that which was really wanted—a better sewerage was neglected.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. JOSEPH viewed this matter as purely a builder's question, and if the vestry took it up he should call their attention to Sir James Graham's Medical Bill.— (Laughter, and cries of ‘• Tha tis a doctor's question?) After some further discussion it was resolved to give the committee power to cooperate forthwith w ith other parishes on the subject, and to petition Parliament in the name of the vestry on the Bill. The vestry than separated. LOSCOE COAL Ain'sEs.—An explosion of fire damp (it is said) took place at the above works on Wednesday morn ing week. The noise was so great that the men who were working at another pit at some distance heard it. We hardly know with what truth, but it is said, the men might have avoided the calamity, as they were apprised of their danger. More than twelve pers ons are sufferers, and one of them, a young man of about 22 years of age, is dead. Seve ral of the poor men arc burned very seriously. We are very happy to speak in terms of commendation of the proprietor of the works, who has manifested the greatest sympathy for the poor sufferers. The very serious and afflicting accidents that are constantly happening in various parts of the coun try ought to speak with more than trumpet tongue to the hearts of every one who p ossess an atom of love for his fel low creatures. It has been demonstrated, over and over again, by the ablest philosophers, that our coal mines are not sufficiently ventilated; and that this, in many cases, is the sole cause of the accidents; and yet no means are taken to ' remedy the defect. Poor colliers are sent down into the pit to work—an explosion occurs—and scores of them (as in Wales and Durham) are launched into eternity. The news papers record such an accident; the philanthropist drops a silent tear; no means are taken to prevent a similar occur rence; and the matter is soon forgotten. But how long is this do-nothing system to last P.—Correspondent of Derby Reporter.
