The intelligence received from the United States, up to the 18th of March, though not very precise in its cha racter, nor announcing any decision on the Oregon q'ies tion, is altogether, however, more important than any which kas arrived since POLK'S offensive and violent Message. Thanks to the firmness of the British Go vernment, and a portion of the British press—nearly the greater portion, we are glad to say—both the Senate and the President begin to consider seriously what may be the effects of a war with England. The Senate is evidently in no hurry to come to a decision—not from any love or respect for this country ; for the great ma jority of the M embers are as hostile as any of the re presentatives of those inland states which neither British ships, nor cannon, nor bayonets can reach—but from a regard for the safety of the union, and a fear of unfor• seen events which may spring out of a war so unpro voked, and a selfish and unjust policy, denounced as much by French and German writers as by the press of England. They begin to see that if a war, under such circumstances takes place, they must fight single liacded with the most powerful nation in Europe, that they can expect no sympathy from any one European state, for all were alike insulted by PoLa's Message, and that even the people of France, so long attached to the United States from former recollections as well as policy, is more indignant against them than the people of the United Kingdom. The manner in which General ASS conducted himsk lf, when at Paris some eight or ten years since, and the rude and haughty manner in which the _large sum of 25,000,000 f. was extorted from the Charot.er of Deputies for losses said to have been sus tained by the M ilan decrees, have sunk deep into the hesxts of all true Frenciimen, and they have sunk the deeper, because the money w - As extorted from a friendly poopl.e, who cheered on the American patriots to resist the &spo.,ism of the mother country', And who mainly contributed to that independence and power which en abled them to enforce this base act of ingratitude. But, independent of these considerations, by no means light, t h e Americans know that a struggle with Eng land', when seriously provoked, is a fearful alternative; their statesmen, and their merchants, and slave owners know, if the common people do not , that since the days of the obstinate .and imbecile GEORGE 111., and his still more imbecile Miniztry, the strength of England has never been put forth in any quarrel with the Republic - that the collision of 1813-14, was merely an episode in - the great contest with the French, and that when the principal war was brought to a glorious termination. the -English people and the Government looked upon the THE SITN, LONDON, - SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1846. American affair as a sort of by-play or adventitious scene, which must necessarily close with the great drama. Affairs are new different. Pretensions are put forth to which no independent European nation can submit — encroachments are made upon a neighbouring state of the most unjust, violent, and deceitful character—the very existence of all the British colonies in the New World is endangered by this invasion, as well as by threats not disowned by American statesmen or Ameri can presidents ; and should a war about the Oregon commence, it would involve many points, in comparison of which the navigation of the Columbia, important as it is, or the fixing of any particular line of latitude, or the possession of Vancouver Island, or any island or territory what. ever in that quarter, sinks into absolute insignificance. American statesmen have long been well aware of these facts, and they now make no concealment of their ap prehensions. Mr. CAL- OUN but the other week earnestly impressed upon the Senate a speedy adjust ment by compromise, because, " among other measures, the settlement of our controversy with Mexico depended upon the adjustment or non-adjustment of the conflict ins claims to Oregon between us and Great Britain. In the event of a war upon this question, Mexico would at once act upon the offensive, and by Mexico on the south, under the discipline of British officers, and by British steamers along the sea-board, the Canadians on the north, a British fleet upon the lakes, and the Indians on the west, we should be enfiladed on every side." Be sides, it is well known they have no navy, no war-steamers, that can for a moment be taken into account with those of England. They have no debt, it is true; at least they acknowledge none, but that is counterbalanced by a very important consideration—they have no credit. No human being, not even a Yankee, would lend money to the American Government, and any loan-contractor commissioned by President POLK to raise money on the Exchange at Hamburgh, or Amsterdam, or Paris or London, would be received with universal derision. We put all this, however, out of the question. What Eng land wants is only justice, the settlement of her rightful claims on the shores of the Pacific, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico, and a security that her colonies shall not be endangered by such wanton acts as the annexation of Texas, or by the enforcement of such preposterous and insolent claims as those put forth by American senators in regard to the interference of European powers with the political affairs of the new world. Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord ABERDEEN have only to re main calm and firm in their purpose, for that is the only certain means for preserving the blessings of peace. As a better opportunity is now afforded us, by the Easter recess, for taking into consideration matters not immediately comprehended in the current Parliamentary business, we gladly take advantage of the interval to emphasise (by repetition) our opinions upon education as a means of exercising a vast moral influence over the multitude. Our views upon this particular theme received a fresh illustration only yesterday in our reference to the last monthly meeting of the magistrates for the metropolitan county. It is, however, with renewed pleasure, that we observe almost every successive day some circumstance transpiring which tends materially to enforce the advisability of some official interference with the social condition of the humbler classes of our fellow-countrymen—some equit. able exchange of principles, such as the resignation a an exclusively penal system for the purpose of interpo lating certain pages in the criminal code of an educational character. That irresistible sub- current of public opinion, which ultimately subverts every fallacious doctrine, moral, political, and social, is, we firmly believe, pressing forward rapidly and evenly to the realisation of that scheme, the advocacy of which we regard as one of our most sacred duties. Everything shows that this under-stream is working, and that too with indomitable assiduity; the noise of its progression occasionally bursts up through the silent superficies by which it is otherwise concealed. In this manner, establish- ments for the instruction of the destitute children of this great capital have been organised with much sagacity, and have already received considerable encouragement, under the generic title of " The Ragged Schools." The introduction of elementary works into the cells of such institutions as the model prison at Pentonville, was an indication of the same secret movement. Something of a similar nature was apparent in the demonstra tions elicited by the Recorder of Birmingham, and the City Solicitor, and an increase of influence was imparted to those demonstrations by the influential patronage which came forth like a necessary sequence to each. Nor, indeed, could the adjournment ~f the Honourable the House of Commons be per mitted before the question of education in at least two of the divisions of Great Britain had been mooted— first, by the Member for Coventry with reference to Wales, secondly, by Mr. WYSE, with reference to Ireland. These facts of themselves would be, undoubtedly, sufficient evidence that a large proportion of the most powerful members of the community is striving boldly and unswervingly in the proposed direc tion. Nor are the instances we have already adduced all that can be enumerated : a spirit equally en lightened and benevolent has manifested itself in other quarters deserving of especial attention, and if we mistake not, such efforts are only the precursors of others yet more strenuous, and extending to a somewhat more comprehensive unaminity. Nobly has the Mar quis of WESTMINSTER pressed forward amongst the foremost of these peaceful agitators to proclaim himself the champion of his less elevated countrymen, and to insist upon the excellence and feasibility of some ame liorative measures in their behalf. This grati fying announcement was repeated by the Noble Marquis at the Dorset Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday last. He introduced it unostentatiously enough, as a mere appendix to a motion of local interest for some modification of the plan adopted at the county gaol ; nevertheless, the nobility of the cause then sup ported by the Marquis of WESTMINSTER cannot but bruit a mere whisper in its favour like a trumpet-blast over the land. There was something practical as well as concise in the language uttered by the noble speaker ; he seemed anxious to place the matter in its most common-sense light, and while insensibly engaging the hearts of his hearers, to arouse their co operation through the medium of their sound reason. Thus he demonstrated how infinitely tardy the inhabi tants of this country were in the effectuation of this im provement, by reminding them that already the Parisians had allotted a portion of their prisons to the moral tuition of juvenile culprits, and that so admirably effectual was this arrangement in its opera tion, that " if a cnild was even about to fall into evil, he was brought by his parent and immediately incar cerated." Thus again the Marquis appealed, we will not say to the cupidity, but to the regard to economy by which society is so wonderfully guided in the adoption of any novel scheme : " He could give them one instance of sixteen children, at Liverpool, that cost, from the frequency of their re-committals, 60/. a piece; whereas at an establishment in the county of Warwick, out of 77 children 64 had been returned to their friends, and usefully and profitably employed fur many years ; the expense of these children was only 251. a piece." Let England, however, look to her sluggishness in this instance, and become abashed into some concession to the advancing spirit of the age; let that Parliamentary paper just issued, containing the tabular statistics in cident to education in British India, be generally exa mined : it comprises many incentives to our home exertions, though we must acknowledge that yet more might be expected from the prodigious wealth and extraordinary area of our Oriental possessions. The amount devoted to the purposes of native education during 1843 by the Indian Government was 830,772 r. lla. Ip. ; and that for regions extending throughout the several presidencies of Bengal, North-Western Pro vinces, Port St. George, and Bombay. But a very competent authority has elsewhere calculated the distance we are behind other countries on the score of education. Mr. KAY, the Travelling Bachelor to the University of Cambridge, in a very ex cellent work recently published, says : " Unless the State steps forward to assist the Church and the Dissenters in an efficient manner, so long must we remain by far the worst educated country in Europe —a country where towns of the importance of Oldham and Rochdale have only 1 in 150 of their inhabitants receiving education, whilst in the cantons of Berne and Vaud in Switzerland, the proportion is 1 in 41." Such is the opinion cf one whose ideas must be re ceived as in some measure authoritative as the mouth piece of one of our universities. In another portion of his volume this gentleman has, if possible, a yet more striking antithesis. He proves that, for the edu cation of England and Wales alone, forty normal schools, at the very lowest computation, would be ne cessary for the training of our schoolmasters, and then expresses his mortification at our only possessing five such establishments. The subject, however, is of such paramount importance, and has been treated hitherto w ith such egregious injustice, that it swells out to an al most interminable length. We must, nevertheless, hope, and strive courageously for its definite settlement. _ _ _ The Madrid journals of the 4th inst. contain the his tory of the late Ministerial crisis. It appears that EcaNA. and PEZUELA, not being able to agree with NARVAEZ, Bonoos, and ORLANDO, on the subject of the decree for the regulation of the Stock Exchange, resigned, and that their resignation was ac cepted. On the 3d of April General bIAzzEBEDO, a strong partiAn of NARVAEZ, was appointed in the room of PEZUELA, but on the same day GONZALES BRAVO, for whom NARVAEZ had des tined the portfolio of the Foreign-office, not only refused to join the NARvAEz Ministry, but resigned his post of Ambassador to the Court of Lisbon, and announced his determination to energetically support a liberal line of policy. NARVAEZ being unable to fill up the vacancies occasioned by the refusal of GONZALES t3v.s.vo and the retirement of Exuma, tendered his own resignation on Saturday, which was accepted by the QUEEN, who immediately sent for M. ISTURITZ (who was Prime Minister at the period of the Revolution of La Granja, and who under the MIBAYLORES Cabinet was Minister of the Interior), and commissioned him to form a Government. M. IsTnarTz, who at once acceded to her MAJESTY'S desire, was immediately appointed President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs. General ARSIERO, who remained with Mom, PIDAL, and MAYANS, to the last in the MARTIN= DE LA Rosa Cabinet, was appointed Minister of Marine. ECANA remained as Minister of Justice, and there was every probability of Mom resuming his portfolio a, Minister of Finance, and of his friend PIDAL, who has already afforded him great assistance in carrying out his financial reforms, also becoming a Member of the ISTURITZ Cabinet. This is the most efficient Ministry that has been formed in Spain since the downfal of ESPARTERO. ISTURITZ, although a Conservative Moderado, is a con stitutionalist and a statesman, and Mom is certainly the most honest, firm, and trustworthy financier that Spain has yet produced. If the intrigues of NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA do not overrule the Cabinet (and M. ISTURITZ is not the sort of man to submit to the dictation of a Camarilla), the future prospects of Spain are brighter than they have been for years past. For the sake of that unhappy country, it is to be desired that the ISTURITZ Ministry should last, and that its chief should acquire the confidence of Queen ISABELLA, who cannot have a better tutor in the art of reigning as a constitutional monarch than M. ISTURITZ. It appears from advises from Bayonne and from the north of Spain that the movements of the In fante Dox ENRIQUE are strictly watched, both by the French and the Spanish authorities, as it was suspected that his object in repairing to France was to place him self at the head of the discontented in Upper Arragon.

Exchanges—London, 37i ; Paris, 16. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The annual promenade of Longchamps commenced on Wednesday, and although the weather was remarkably fine, there were but few elegant equipages. Thursday and Friday are, however, the grand days. On the Thursday the weather was not quite so fine as it had been on the preceding day, but the Champs Elysees were crowded, and the number of carriages out was very great. Madame NARVAEZ, who is by birth a French lady, had left Paris for Madrid, to join her husband. She arrived at Bordeaux on the 6th. The Moniteur contains a report of Marshal BUGZAVD to the Ministe of War, dated April the 2d, announcing, on the authority of information received from General MARCY, the retreat of ABD-EL-KADER to the country of the Ouled Sidi Chikks, within two days' march of the Morocco frontier. The march of the light column of General JOUSSOUF had been delayed several days, he having been obliged to wait for the arrival of the barley and provisions which he had seat for to Boghar and Teniet-el-Ilaad the only points where he could procure resources. The dispatch of the Marshal incloses a re- port from General LIMORICIERE announcing the submis sion of several of the native tribes, and stating that he was marching to reduce to obedience the tribe of the llamas and several others, which had made overtures to him, and which had heretofore supplied ABD- EL -KADER with the greater portion of his cavalry. The Moniteur likewise contains the official report of General CAvAIG NAC'S victory at Tlemcen, an account of which appeared in the Semaphore de Marseilles a few days since. The Arabs were under the command of MOHAMED BEN ABDILLAH, a pretended prophet, calling himself " the chosen of GOD, the image of the LORD JESUS, JESUS resuscitated," and he had written in his prophetic cha racter to GeHerRICAVAIGNAC, calling upon him to submit. The prophet, however, did not trust to spiritual weapons alone, for he had collected from among the emigrant Arab tribes who had taken refuge in Morocco a force of from 700 to Soo cavalry and 1,200 infantry to fight for the faith. General CAVAIGNAC, at the head of 300 cavalry and three battalions of infantry, attacked and routed these fanatics, killing a hundred of them. The French loss was one officer and one private killed, and nine wounded. The National, under the head of " Important tidings of the insurrection," gives the following intelligence 'rom Poland : " Events are becoming more and more conspicuous, and the insurrection, transiently repressed, is reviving and recovering fresh strength. W e have this day learnt, by our private correspondence, the situation of the insurgents, their precise organisation, and the unex pected succour that a felicitous direction has yielded them. We need not tell the reasons that prevent our publishing these details, but we can announce that, on the 22d, the insurgents had an encounter with a squa dron of Austrian cavalry, and completely routed it, after killing twenty-five men. This first success was not the only one. On hearing of this defeat, the com mandant of the troops assembled in the environs of Tarnow, sent on two battalions and three squadrons. These forces advanced against the insurgents, who re tired to the forest, wherein they had entrenched them selves ; the march continued thus on the 23d ; and, after some skirmishes, the Austrians stopped at the ap proach of night. Fires were lighted by the insurgents ; nut, whilst the enemy were in front awaiting daylight to continue their march, the columns of peasants took up positions scarcely accessible to infantry, and inacces sible to cavalry. Whilst this was passing to the south west of Tarnow, another column of insurgents, after re inforcing themselves at Wornski and Borec, surprised at night the Austrian garrison at the little town of Chrzanow, and massacred it. On the subject of the Polish insurrection, the Presse observes:— " We eannot help noticing the circumspection main tained by all parties in England in presence of the in surrection of Cracow. The English have abstained from all manifestation calculated to encourage a movement which could have no other result than to entail fresh misfortunes on the heads of a population worthy of a better fate. This conduct appears to us much more skiltul and wise than to chant the " Marsellang" without an echo, to throw to the wind phrases which are hero merely ridiculous, but which may be homicidal else where, and to make much ado about abortive subscrip tions." Suleiman Pasha, the new Ambassador of the Sublime Porte, presented his credentials to the King, on Wed- nesday. The Constitutionnel announces that the Palace de Joinville has been appointed to the command-in-chief of the Mediterranean squadron, by a royal ordinance of the 29th ult. Rear-Admiral Hernoux, Aide-de-camp of his Royal Highness, was to act as Major-General, and to be assisted in his functions by Captain Touchard and Rear-Admiral Quesnel was to command a division of the squadron. The Journal de Debats has a long article on the Irish Coercion Bill, consisting for the most part of a summary of the late debate in the House of Commons on the sub ject. The following is the concluding paragraph of the article in the 'Mats:— " Sir J. Graham considers that the poor of Ireland are sufficiently well off as to their church to be able to dispense with a mode of subsistence being ensured to them. This is certainly a very great eulogium addressed to the Catholic Church; but is the Protestant Govern ment of England, with such ideas, right in maintaining this monstrous anomaly, which imposes on an impercep tible minority the supremacy of a hostile creed, enriched with the spoils of the national church? It is impossible that such a paradox can be much longer maintained in an enlightened country. The relation between landlord and tenant will be always difficult to regulate; it is one of the greatest evils of Ireland; but by its side is another which the law can reach, and that is, the position of the national church. As long as these twe great questions are not courageously grappled with, Coercion Bills, cur few measures, the re-enactment, in fact, of the codes of the middle ages, will be only temporary palliatives of the evil. Ireland may be kept down, but she will never be pacified." The ConsOutionnel contains a long letter officially ad dressed to Count DE CASTELLANE, from Vienna, and which report attributes to the pen of Prince METTaR-. NtcEr. This letter contradicts the statements made rela tive to the massacres alleged to have been committed by the peasantry of Gallicia at the instigation of the Aus trian Government. It also contains some curious details as to the state of the peasant proprietors of Gallicia since the abolition of serfdom in 1811, when each peasant be came possessed of a certain portion of land, which he can neither sublet, subdivide, nor part with; to which he cannot add by purchase, from which he cannot take any by alienation, of which he cannot be deprived, and which descends to his heirs for ever, subject to all the fiscal imposts and to the jurisdiction of the lord paramount. The following appears in Galignani's Messenger of Thursday : " The Harmonic whaler has just arrived at Havre, after having touched at Papaeti. She left that harbour on December 16, and after a rapid passage of three months and a half, brings the latest news that could arrive from that part of the world. Dispatches have been received by her for the Government, the dupli- cates of which are on board the Somme store-corvette, which left Otaheit2 at the same date. Their contents have not transpirei ; but the Journal du Havre says that, from the information it has been able to colic ct, the state of distrust and secret hostility which has ben so long existing between the French authorities, the natives in their entrenches camps, and Queen Pomare, who was still taking refuge in the windward islands, continued to subsist without any improvement. The French occu pants, confined to s small portion of the shore, where works of commurication and defence protected tht ir position, were a!narst entirely without intercourse with the interior of the island, and each day their position was becoming more difficult." The Funds opened at a rise on the Paris Bourse on Thursday; but, owing to a report that the arrangement concluded between Baron DE ROTHSCHILD and M. CHARLES LAFITTE, respecting the Western Railroad, had been cancelled, they afterwards declined. This re port produced a similar effect on the Share Market. Spanish Stock alone improved.

There is no cotton market report from Liverpool to day, as yesterday was observed as a strict holiday. Most of the private letters from the West Indies were opened to-day by our City merchants connected with the trade in that direction. Their contents, as communi cated to us, are of a satisfactory character, very gene rally speaking. The Bank of England's return, published last evening, as compared with the one preceding, gives the following results:— _ _ A decrease in the amount of the notes issued of 87,2651., or to 27,181,4801. An increase in the Rest of 9,5371., or to 3,799,5081. A decrease in the public deposits of 245,5991., or to 7,074,0261. A decrease in the other deposits of 340,8811, or to 16,763,0471. An increase in the day and other bills of 11,8671. or to 965,4461. A decrease in the amount of bullion held, of 162,0241., or to 13,525,5211. It will be apparent from an inspection of the returns connected with other deposits, that cash lodged with the Bank of England and the Accountant-General, for new railway deposits, is gradually finding its way back into circulation. The Stock markets have been very thinly attended this morning, but still a very fair amount of business has been entered into. Consols for the account have been very steady at 964 For the first transfer day next week the quotations have ruled from 961 to 96i. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has been rather tint at a tall from 275. to 245. and 255. Bank Stock has fallen from 2064 to 206 ; and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. from 97 to 96i. Not half-a- dozen bargains have been made in the Foreign Fundy this morning. Mexican Bonds have fallen from 32 to 314. Portuguese Fear per Cents. have been done at 571, tie Two-and-a -Half per Cents. at 591. and the Four per Cents. at 92. Many bargains have been made in Railway Shares this morning, but prices have not varied to any material extent. The official list is annexed.

LONDON SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD MAYOR, RECORDER, and ALDERMEN.) These sessions were holden this morning. The cases set down were principally for assaults. APPEALS.—The RECORDER, on tiking his seat, said that the Court had c, me to the decision of adjourning the Court for the purpose of hearing appeals. This, for the convenience of the public, for the first day was ge nerally occupied in criminal cases, and persons were thus frequently kept in waiting to no purpose. The Court had fixed this day fortnight. An application was made that one of the cases set down for hearing to-da y be adjourned till next session:. The RECORDER said he could not grant the applica tion, the Court must be inflexible in the rule unless under special circumstances. Mary Ward, a young woman, was indicted for assault ing Mrs. E. Page, licensed victualler, of No. 17, Minories. It appeared from the evidence, that on the Saturday evening mentioned in the indictment, the prisoner and others were drinking in front of the bar, and about seven or eight minutes to twelve were told it was time to leave, on which, without the slightest provocation, the defend ant threw a pint pot at the prosecutrix, which struck her on the mouth and knocked her down. s 0 n ' e a n i t i , ris a o n n d er to was find s b e a n i t l en fo c r e d 2 t O7 ) fourteen .tokeep days' impri sonment, peace far twelvemonths. _ _ A man named Jones, was indicted for violently assault ing three police constables named Brand, Butler, and Templeman, in the execution of their duty. The prosecution was at the instance of the authorities, and Mr. Ryland and Mr. Laurie appeared on their behalf. Mr. RYLAND said that this was a case of assault under very extraordinary circumstances. It appeared that on the 2d of March the officers were conveying two pri soners to the justice-room, Guildhall, when they were surrounded by a crowd, amongst whom the prisoner was the principal, who attempted to rescue the prisoners, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the original prisoners could be got before the magistrate. The pri• wrier and another were then secured, after a very despi rate resistance, and the prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, but at the instant he struck Brand, police-constable 227, a violent blow under the ear. Ott this the Alderman rescinded his order, and sent the prisoner for trial. The City authorities deemed this to be a case for prosecution, for as they were most anxious to bring the officers to justice when they mis conducted themselves, they were also anxious to protect them to the utmost when they were faithfully and pro perly performing their duty. The officers were called and proved the violence in flicted. The prisoner appeared to be quite sober; he was so desperate that it required seven officers to secure and handcuff him. Oti their way to the Comptor, he turned round to one of the officers and said he would mark him, and serve him out when he got out. he prisoner denied the assaults. The turnkey of the Compter said that the prisoner had been confined there for theft.—Verdict, Guilty. The RECORDER said, that the prisoner had been con victed of a series of most violent attacks. It was a very high offence to commit an assault in the presence of a magistrate in the performance of his official duty, and for that alone he would formerly have been indicted. The sentence of the Court was that he should be im prisoned for four months in the House of Correction, and afterwards enter into his own recognizances to keep the peace for three years. SIR F. TRENCH AND LORD LIN COLN. To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l have been much surprised and annoyed to see in the Times of this morning two letters of mine, Which ought not to have been made public without my sanc tion. I called at your office to inquire how y, u kid become possessed of them, and by what authority you had published them, but could not obtain any satisfactory ex planaiion. I had caused these letters to be printed, to secure uni formity of paper and type, with sundry hints for the improvement of the metropolis, which are in my pos session, but they were not intended for publication, and my printer assures me that no copy has escaped fr,na his office. I hope, therefore, you will give immediate insertion to this expression of my regret and indignation at the dishonesty or breach of confidence which has placed these letters in your hands. I have the honour to be your obedient humble servant, F. . TRENCH. 85, Pall-mall, Wednesday night. P.S. Thursday, 11 oclock, A.m.—l have this moment received your note, in which ) ou state that the letters in question " were sent by a correspondent to your office, printed as a circular, and with an intimation that they were at the editor's service." In reply, I beg to ob serve that they were not "printed as a circular," nor " intended for circulation," as your note intimates ; and I must repeat my regret that letters bearing my signa ture, should have been published without my sanction. F. W. TRENCH. [Sir F. Trench asserts that the letters were not "printed as a circular." When two letters are printed upon one sheet, and folded as if for the purpose of being sent by post, we were until now under the impression that they were in the form of " a circular." W hy, too, letters should be print d in this or any other form which are not intended for circulation, we are at a loss to con ceive. Our belief, when we received them was, that they had been forwarded to our office by Sir F. Trench him self.] Times. THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.— Between 800 and 1,000 persons availed themselves on Friday of the privilege of proceeding over the state apartments. The great majority of these parties had fortunately provided themselves with tickets previou,ly to leaving town. Others, however, who had not adopted this necessary precaution, were either compelled to pay most exorbitantly for the Lord Chamberlain's tickets, or forego altogether their intended visit to the Castle. A set of persons, in Windsor termed " guides," have always a good supply in hand of the Lord Chamberlain's admissions, which they obtain through the medium of their agents in London, from one of the four respectable parties who have been specially appointed to issue tickets, at their respective establishments, to all per sons who may apply for them. In many instances, in the course of Friday, five shillings were modestly demanded, and given, for one of these tickets, which admit seven per sons ( and which are to be procured gratuitously in London), by parties who had visited Windsor, without being aware that admissions were not to be obtained in the town. There is very little doubt that a stop will speedily be pat to this description of traffic, by causing some pl ea to be ro c m arried g into effect, so that the public may d in be Windsor f ndsor for the s im position, either by an office being; opened being abolished issuing of tickets, or by the ticket y_ altogether. It being now upwa rc,s ofour months since any public L otification appeared of the f places where ad missions to view the interior of Windsor Castle are to be obtained, it may save those parties , who are about to visit the royal re sidence, some little trouble, as well as prevent their being imposed upon, if we insert the list. They are as follow : er an Moon, 20, Threadnee dle- street ; M r. Mitchell , .Al3l3r.()%ielldrnßond-street ; Messrs. Colnaghi, 14, Pall-mall East ; and Messrs. Ackermann, 96, Strand. We may , observe that it was contemplated, when no persons would he allowed to enter the Castle but those provided with tickets, that the sight-seers would be far mere select than before; but the fact of the Lord Chamberlains cards of admission being hawked about Windsor at from Is. to .ss, each (the price being regulated according to the demand, pretty clearly proves that, when the demand is not very brisk, any seven persons who can muster a shilling amongst them (or a trifle more, as the case may be), can purchase a view of st the state apartments," without any regard to the 46 select" character of the parties themselves, THE COST De FASHION.—It is said that five hundred millions of dollars are spent annually in the United ,States for such articles of dress as are subject to the fluctuations of fashion. Of this sum it is computed that 16,000,000 are spent for hats, probably about 20,000,000 fur caps and bon nets, and fur other articles of dress not less than 400,000,000. EASTER TERM.—The ensuing term will conlm enew op Wednesday next, upon which day the .4.ord Qiituieellor will entertain the Judges and members of the inner bar with the usual Easter Term dej W e4ner at his Lordship's ho use , whence they will prooeed to estminster Hall, about 9 4 . e g'eloc*.' METROPOLITAN TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION. A soirée and an aggregate meeting of the Friends of the Metropolitan Temperance Association was held, last evening, in the Royal British school, Cowper-street, City-road, Mr. John Cassell in the chair. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting upon the formation of the Association, and expressed a hope that by an union among the various societies in the metro polis, tl e consummation so devoutly to be wished would be accelerated. HP regretted the want of previous cor dial co-operation, but he trusted they were now in a position to achieve great triumphs in the cause of tee totalism. He next referred to the advocacy of temperance principles by the press, as a proof of the rapid progress it was making throughout the country. He could not, how ever, but lament that greater efforts were not made by the religious portion of the press to disseminate prin ciples of a character so well fitted to prepare the minds of men for the reception of the great truths of the Gospel. He complained that the conductors of the Wesleyan Magazine had refused insertion to a temperance advertisement in t hat publica tion, and had in other respects acted very partially, and had, in fact, manifested the most decided opposition to the teetotal movement. He could not un derstand what right the editors of that magazine had to complain of the Americans being anxious to stifle dis cussion upon the question of slavery, when they them selves endeavoured to stifle the promulgation of princi ples in which 600,000 immortal souls were involved in one of the worst kinds of slavery that ever existed under the canopy of heaven. He was glad, however, to congratulate them upon the growing strength which the cause was, day by day, acquiring, notwithstanding all the disadvantages with which they had to contend ; and he was satisfied that if they continued their united exer tions, they would, ere long, have the satisfaction of reap ing some of its fruit. He urged them not to relax, but rather redouble their labour in their philanthropic cause. Mr. D. WALTERS next addressed the meeting, and drew a graphic picture of the squalor and misery at tendant upon drunkenness, and contrasted it with the comfort and happiness of a life of sobriety and morality. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. Bayliss, Mr. Whittaker, 1)r. Oxley, Mr. Buckle, and the Rev. Dr. Campbell, of the Tabernacle. A collection was then made to defray expenses and for the general pur poses of the association. Mr. HUDSON then addressed a few observations to the assembly ; after which the meeting separated.

N %NAL INTELLIGENCE. CHATHAM, APRIL 10.—The Raleigh, 50 gulls, Cap tain Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., has this week received on board nearly all her sea stores; she will be put out of dock on Monday next; she will then drop down to Folly Point, off Gillii gham, to take in her guns, powder and shot, and to be completed in her painting previously to her proceeding to tea. Tw4.nty-seven seamen riggers have been drafted from this dock-yard for her. The Southampton, 50 guns, will be taken into dock on Monday, vacated by the Raleigh, to make good defects and to be fitted for sea. The Cockatrice schooner, fitted for a victualling ves sel fur the coast of Ireland, is completed. She is taking in part of the frame of the Nankin, 50 guns, ordered to be built at Woolwich, after discharging her cargo. She will be given to the victualling establishment at Deptford. The Cressy, 80 guns. Shipwrights have commenced laying the blocks to receive the keel of this vessel, or dered to be built on the Ist slip, from plans proposed by Messrs. Cruise, Reed, and Chatfield, the late committee of naval architecture. The following workmen have been superanuatel th week from this yard, viz., W. Finnis, leading man ►.. shipwrights, at 341. per annum; Robert Hall, shipwright, 201. per annual; John Mirton, caulker, 241.; Juhn Bower, 221.; Charles Friday, 201.; and Thomas Bever stok, ropemaker, at 24/. per annum. LICENCING MEETING.—To-day a special session was held at Guildhall for the transferring licences to inn; ale houses, &c., and it was also the first transfer of billiard and bagatelle licences under the new Act of Parliament. No applicationswere made in either case, but on the Court :Ming to hear appeals, an application was made by Mr. G. E. Ilealey, for a licence to a house in Old Change, which had been refused on the adjourned licencing meeting, It was now shown that the refusal had been founded on the state ment of the applicant, that he had taken a lease of the house condit.onally on obtaining a licence. It appeared that he had mistaken the question, and now produced the deed. The house had been shut up for two years by the former pro prietor, and the applicant had laid out a large sum of money. The licence was granted. ALARMING STEAM-BOAT ACClDENT.—Yesterday the Laurel, a Richmond steamer, while proceeding on her first passage for the season, with upwards of 150 passengers on board, ran foul of Battersea-bridge, in attempting to pass through one of the arches. Considerable damage was done to the vessel, and her stern and one of her paddle-boxes much shattered. Several passengers were thrown down and injured, and the consternation among the crowd on board . , was dreadful. The steamer put back, in a cr i pp l e d state, to the Yorkshire Grey, at Chelsea, where the , ;?ssengers were landed, and subsequently proceeded i'2, another steamer to Richmond. The old bridge at Battersea is a very danger ous one at all times for steamers to pass under, and numerous accidents have occurred there. It has been frequently com plained of by the civic authorities, coroners' juries, and by the lightermen and bargemen, and ought to be demolished, and a new bridge erected. ST. JOHN'S GATE.—The owners of this ancient struc ture have relinquished the idea of cotnpoing the gate and have determined to re-case it w i t h stone where defective. The ornamental portions, such as embattlements, labels, tkc., are to be restored by the public, under the direction of the com mittee and Mr. W. P, Griffith, architect. A HINT TO PAROCHIAL AUTHORITIES, &c., CON CERNING GAS.—The r e d uct i on l ately made in the price of gas from 9s. to 75., is a mere farce, as the daily complaints of numerous respectable tradesmen that their gas expenses per annum (with the same number of lights) are heavier than before aulliciently attest. The reason is obvious, for Stipp:using the companies now obtain 10,000 cubic feet . from ehaldron of coals, and after a time they were to thln e kitpr a u n pru dent to reduce to 55., they have only to feet, and extra baking and produce 14,000 or 16,000 i t ereduction. But they at once more than counterbalance not means, as, in pro portionis the consumer benefitted by this? By deteriorated, so will the give e b t i h c -eet, coal as the quality becomes it may be attributed the great heat, of light, and to this ca burners require a largerusivans y to sustain the same degree and deleterious effects experienced where gas is used. These facts have been proved by of Parliament, and chemists before com arliament, and cannot b e con troverted,mittees of both Houses and the only matter of surprise is, that the con sumers of gas in London have so long suffered such a dis araefu l s ystem to exist, as the remedy is with th emse l ves, iiiidt e hey ought by this time to be fully aware that the com panies w ill do nothing except by compuisios. Why not take the matterinto their own hands, and form district gas cousumers' companies, or (what perhaps would be preferable), let the parishes take up the business and manufacture their own gas, as in Manchester where from the profits o f th e gas establish- went, the watching, lighting, paving, and other rates are paid, and this too when the price of gas was only fss. per 1,000 cubic feet, and It was from the same source that the funds wero provided necessary for Wilding their splendid town hall.— Correspondent of the A4ilder.

COMPRESSED AIR LOCOMOTIVE (From the Manchester Courier.) A competitor for the supremacy which steam has so long and justly held in this country, as the means of expeditious travelling, and for most manufacturing pur poses, was, during last week, introduced to the notice of the Manchester public, among whom, it is scarcely needful to add, are many men fully competent to inves tigate and give judgment upon the merits or the new candidate for popular lave= and support. The con ception of condensed air as a motive power recommends itself at once to the judgment of the merest tyro is science ; but though the conception has always been an palpably correct, a practical development of it has never until the present time been produced which was competent to the end the theorist hoped to attain. A Mr. Arthur Parsey, whose name, though but littleknown to fame as yet perhaps, must soon, if his adaptation of the pneumatic principle be found efficient, take rank with that of Watt, and others of our giants in science, has produced a machine in which the difficulty of ap plying the power economically and with regularity has been overcome, and that in the most simple manner. Mr. Parsey has patented his engine, and a company is formed for the purpose of obtaining from him the benefit of the patent right of his invention in Great Britain and its colonies by means of licenses for its use. Under the auspices of this company a working model was sent down to Manchester, and exhibited in the Ex change ante-room, Mr. Parsey and his son attending to give all necessary information respecting it. W e saw the model, and were much pleased with it and its in ventor, whc displayed an anxiety to give the fullest details respecting the working, without thrusting the interest of the company, with which of course his own le bound up, upon the notice of his visitors. When we entered the room the engine was traversing a miniature railroad with great and noiseless speed. The simple carriage does not differ from that of the common locomotive in form, so that the engine can work on any established line; unlike the atmospheric mode of pro pulsion, which requires an expensive line of tube in ad ditiont the ordinary rails. At each end of this carriage an egg-shaped receiver, for holding the condensed air power i i h s t p o la a ce la d. From rgeoyli these reservoirs nder,calledar soeiv th er e , ar , con ductedaindisfron it into two smaller cylinders, where it works two pistons, which act by means of cranks upon the driving wheels in the ordinary manner. The regulating of the power is effected by a simple expedient: a piston is let into the large receiver, and supported upon it is a spiral spring, which is connected with a nicely-regulated valve in the pipe, which admits the air into the receiver. This spring is adjusted to the admission of a certain power, and no sooner does the air in the receiver exceed that power than the spring closes the valve, and, of course, shuts up or diminishes the passage for air, returning to its original place as the power is expanded. After the examination of the machine comes the ques tion, in what particular is it superior to the steam Jow -1 motive ? The great expenses of steam-engines may be comprised under the general heads—cost of coestrue - Lion, cost of maintenance in proper working order, and the production of propelling power. On all these Mr. Parsey claims a great superiority. The eng ines can be built at a decreased cost, say one-fourth of the whole. The wear and tear will not be anything in comparison with that of a steam-engine. Oae grea S destroying agent in the steam-engine is the heat neces sary to generate the power, and the heat of that power when generated ; in the air-engine there is no action beyond that upon the pistons of a body nearly of the same temperature as the atmosphere, while the ZS chinery is certainly not more complex than in the com mon locomotive. The stoker and hi s co k e an d fire will be dispensed with altogether, and with him w ill dis appear all the annoyances of heat, smoke, dirty tenders black chimney, specks of coke, and the hundred little things which teach railway travellers how to make a virtue of necessity. The condensation of air will be carried on at stations on the line, certainly not mor e numerous than at present required f or co k e and water. Eight pounds of coal in a stationary en gine, at 9s. a ton, will produce, it is asserted, the sam e amount of power as 601bs. of coke, at 20s. a ton, in a steam locomotive. The air, when condensed, can be kept ready "bottled for use," and " warranted not to deteriorate in quality by age." Then as to the facility for moving upon a line.'Tte engine will be lighter than the locomotive by a ton or two perhaps, the advantag e gained by the removal of boilers, fire-boxes, chimneY s ' &c., being lost in the weight of metal for the receiversA the tender also will be absent. But as the engine el' require to be made up to the same weight as the loeo' motive in order that the wheels may bite on the rails, It is proposed to carry the requisite weight in goods, or 111 reserve bottles of air, over the receivers, thus renderint that weight pecuniarily valuable. A train can be starts" with greater facility. For a locomotive to get up steal requires a long time; an ai r eng i ne can b e c h arge d an ready for starting in a few minut es ; w h en th e steall 2 ,l , 1 up in the locomotive it must b e bl own o ff an d wa nr; if the train be not ready for starting—in the air-engle„ the communication has only t o b e s h ut off fromtiel reservoirs, and the power remains r eady i n un di n i n isba volume, for use when wanted. The risk of explosion'_. of boilers is avoided, for the reservoirs only taining air of a low temperature are not exposed the expansive power which wea k ens steam generate ' . : after they attain a certain temp erature. T his is shoe"' by the circumstance, that the small.
