fore to which he has been raised on the present occasion may be considered as the due tribute of gratitude and justice on the part of his fellow Citizens, and there can belittle doubt that his official, conduct will fully justify their respect for , his talents, their sense of his services, and their confidence in-his consistency. The communication in our present Paper from the younger Mr. OWEN of New Lanark, with its accompanying documents, seems to us to set completely at rest the question between Mr. OWEN and the Lanark Presbytery, as to whether the Scriptures and the Kiri: Catechism are or are not taught, and sufficiently taught, in the New Lanark Schools. Our Readers are aware that we are sincere advocates for the adoption of Mr. OWEN'S practical plans for the employment, and for the education and moral training of the, working classes and of the poor, . because we are convinced that his projected ar rangements offer . a new and enlarged basis, on which the security and. happiness of the la bouring population, and a vast increase of prosperity to society at large; and to the state, may be certainly, safely, and permanently constructed. We are therefore glad to find that Mr. OWEN IS so completely- exculpated from the serious charge brought against him, of having, by the arbitrary exercise of his authority, endea voured to prevent the religious instruction of the children in his establishment. But even if that aarge had. been well, founded, it is obvious that. it could have formed no real objection to the adoption of Mr. OwEN'SiirOpo sitions ; for although 1w might have thought pro; per to exclude, religious instruction from the single establishment which is in his own hands,, , surely the founders of the other institutions, to be formed - on his practical arrangements for giving efficient, employment and education, would not necessarily be obliged to follow his example in this respect, but would be and are at perfect liberty 'to combine religious in struction with the other benefits and, ad vantages intended to be conferred on the new villagers. The whole of the contro versy which has arisen on this subject appears to us to he quite irrelevant to the princi- , pal or rather the real, question, inasmuch as it re lates, not to the efficacy or inefficacy of Mr. OWEN'S plans to accomplish their proposed ob jects, but to Mr. OW EN'S personal character, and to his persfmal practice, which are comparatively of no importance. In expressing our satisfaction at Mr. ONVENS' exculpation, therefore, We wish it ,to, be, understood that it. is for the sake of , his owfl character, and not for that of his plans, which - can in no way be pro muted or prejudiced by the mere co;isi iteration of, his individual merits or demerits. —Mr. OwEN we begive' :to be a good. man and a really disinteiested philanthropist.-- Mr. OWEN'S Pl4llsl,fe7oo2V to he admirably cal ciliated to banish "poverty and most of the other evils of human life from society.

The following is the Copy, of a Plan which has been submitted to the Lords Commissioners'of the Admiralty, having for its objectqlic promo tion of practical navigation ou board ships of ware and the improvemencof the condition of that very useful class of officers, Masters in the Navy : 1. A class of officers, to be denorniniated Navigating Lieu tenants, to take the charge anti navigating of his Majesty's ships (as the Masters now do); all Lieutenants to pass an examina tion at the Trinity House to become Naiigating Lieutenants, before they are eligible to command gun-brigs, cutters, schooners, &c.; this regulation would be an excitement to ac quire nautical experience, and would tend greatly to promote practical navigation in the navy. 2. Whenevee it so happens that a Navigating Lieutenant becomes the senior Lieutenant of the ship in which he is serv ing, he is, bona fide, to do the duty of first Lieutenant, and another Navigating Lieutenant to be appointed to succeed him in the Charge and navigating of the ship: this regulation would do away the idea that to become a Navigating Lieutenant precluded the officer from further promotion, and would clearly point out that the Navigating Lieutenants were equally in the military line of the service with the Lieutenant of a watch. 2. The command of all gun-brig,s,cutters, schooners, and store-ships, situations in dock-yards. &c., to be filled (as vacan cies occur) by Navigating Lieutenants only: this regulation would tend greatly to increase the number of Navigating Lieu - tenants, and would bring forward many officers of ability in the science of navigation it would be the means of training up many more to gain every Information by experience, and to acquire a local knowledge of the diMrent harbours, bays, roads, coasts, anchorages, fortifications, &c. &c., they may visit in his Majesty's ships. By the above means, the navy would be enabled to train and bring up her own navigating officers, without having recourse to the merchant service for auxiliaries as Masters: another circumstance strongly in favour of adopting a class of Navigat ing Lieutenants is, the great experience they would gain while commanding gun-brigs, cutters, and schooners, on the several stations where they might he ordered, as well as a local know ledge of the harbours which would be their particular ren dezvous ; and, to further the extent of nautical experience still more, it might be deemed expedient to change the stations of all vessels commanded by Navigating Lieutenants, once in every two years. All those Lieutenants who are now desirous of holding commands would' of necessity qualify themselves as Navigating Lieutenants, nor would it be requisite to limit the number • as admitting that there were twice the number of Navigating Lieutenants than there are ships in the list of the navy, it would not he detrimental to the service, because those officers could either do the duty of Lieutenant of a watch, or take upon them the charge and navigating of the ship ; on the contrary, it would rather have the effect of bringing forward a great many . skilful and jedicious navigators, whose abilities otherwise might never be brought into practice; anti it is gene rally.allowed, that of all the theories of science, that of navigar tion is the least useful, without the experienced and practical part. .The following additional suggestions on the same subject have been made to the Admiralty and NaVy Beards, subsequently to the delivery 'of the . plan ; and both, we understand, are at present under consideration The senior Masters on the list of the Navy to be superannuatea, and all the junior officers to be made Navigating Lieutuiants. As the Order in Council of 1804,. wherein :darters were made eligible to the rank of Lieutenant (and which has never been re. yoked), would give them. sonic claim to seniority with the Lieu. tenants, those Masters Who were made Navigating Lieutenants 'might be allowed to take seniority with the Lieutenants., from. the date bf their having served six•years io theMvy, it being the specified time required of 'Mates and Midshipmen to serve be for they are eligible to a Lieutenant's . commission : this would appear to he a Just and ete!.,table way of placing them on the list; for although some of the junior Lieutenants might be jealous at having a few of the ei-devani Masters placid over their heads,. yet, if the adoption of Navigating Lieutenants should be considered of importance and practical benefit to the sirviest, the Lieutenants and Masters should make an equal com promise, in•order to fix the time and equal point of seniority._ /is it may be considered that frequent promotions and removals, by invaliding, &c., would often occasion ships to be without navigating-officers, we will suppose ten sail of the line are fit te d for foreign service, averaging seven Lieutenants to each ship, including Navigating Lieutenants; suppose each ship to have in her complement of officers, two Navigating Lieutenants; the First Lieutenants of half the fleet shall •be Navigating Lieute nants ; the First Lieutenants of the other half shall be Lieute nants of divisions. This fleet proceeds to its destination, and the chances of service promotes the whole of the First Lieutenants; there are still left 10 navigating officers on board the fleet: ad mit that five more of the navigating officers work their way to ' first Lieutenants, and are promoted by the chances of service, either from an action or otherwise, there will then be left ten Navigating Lieutenants of this fleet.thatis, one to do the duty in each slut). We will now admit, that those Navigating Lieu tenants left rank promiscuously between the fourth and junior Lieutenants, consequently stand no chance of becoming First Lieutenant while the ships are on the station ; nevertheless, we will allow that five out of the ten have powerful interest with the Admiralty, and are promoted by them ; the same ship that took their Captains' commissions, could take out Navi gating Lieutenants to -supersede them. Admitting the Ad miralty: did not immediately send out navigating officers, half the ships being now without, is it possible that out of the remaining fifty Lieutenants who left England in this fleet (for I will not include the midshipmen who would take the . vacancies of the five Lieutenants of divisions, who were made in the first batch), that five could not be found competent to do the duty of acting Navigating Lieutenants on foreign station, where the navigation, perhaps, was not very difficult, until proper officers were sent out; if so, it shews in a stronger point of view the necessity for Improvement in nau tical seience. It will be observed, this case is in :he extreme: onlrontmenth of the Lieutenants of divisions being made Captain*, to 3-4ths of the Navigating Lieutenants: had there been a corresponding number of .Navigating Lieutenants made, there would havebeen eighteen left, two only, being promoted. 1 have' made this statement with a view to prove that the fleet would not- be in extreme difficulty, admitting all the promo tions mentioned to have takes: place, which, by the by, carries She greatest improbability with it.-4 Times. ) The following' is the chief argument in a Morning Paper of this day, in answer to the keatiOns given In The Quarierl,y Review for the support of our ParnEsTANI.

MORTALITY IN PARIs.---The Board of Health has preaedted its general report for 1822. The report states the linprovements already made, and those which seem yet necessary' to complete the salubrity- of the capital. The Board - makes SOITIe melancholy reflections on the ravages of the small-pox at Paris. During the year 1822, 1,236 peer- Kens died of that disease ; in. 1821, 112 persons ; and in 1820, only 41 fell "victiThis alarming increase," says the report, naturally lambi to the conclusion that the use of vaccination has dirmnished in the same proportion. Another cause of mortality still more afflicting. because it arises from the depravation of morals, bas diminished in a manner equally remarkable." The total number of deceases, in .1822. was 23,1317 in I8:11, it wa523,749; making a differenosof 68 more in 1822. The births in that year were 26,319, being an excess of 2 302 over the deaths.

WINDSOR, SEPT. 30.—As the day approaches which our gracious Sovereign has been pleased to appoint for his entrance to the Castle, every thing assumes the appearance of earliest preparation and solicitude for the attendant fete which is to be celebrated on the happy occasion. The weather alone wears a different aspect, and threatens, from the quarter to which the. wind has veered, to be unpropitious. Malignant stars seem to have presided over this change, so uncourteous towards the in habitants of Windsor, who have seen so many weeks uninter. rupted sun-shine pass away when they could better have spared it. Notwithstanding it has rained all the morning, however, our hearts are nothing dismayed, nor our hopes damped, al though every surrounding object is in that state. The dinner. to the poor in the Long Walk will take place to-morrow (Wed nesday) at two o'clock. Hie Majesty will leave the Cottage at three, when the interesting scene of the Dinner will present i tself in the most agreeable point of view ; his Majesty passing between the two lines of his subjects, who will no doubt by that time be prepared to give- a Royal salute with their glasses.—ln the Long Wallipeat activity prevails in placing , the dining tables which are to serve for this purpose, and fur which several carts are put in requisition. The or is already laid out in preparation for the sacrifice, and will be paraded through the town with great ceremony this afternoon, prior to his being laid down. In the mean time not a spit in the place but has its burden, nor a housewife but has her allotted portion of duty towards the great 'Festival of the morrow. A loyal and dutiful Address, to be presented to his Majesty on Thnrsday forenoon, has been prepared, and lies at the Town Hall, whither the townspeople flock in great Tim. bets to join their names to it. The Town Hall itself will afterwards become „a scene of festivity, as it Is intended to have a grand Public Dinner there on the day on which the Address is presented. The Address, in very appropriate lan g!iage, compliments his Majesty upon the commencement of his abode in the renowned " Keep otWindsor,"to which his presence is abotit to add new glories, already rendered memo rable by a long-line of illustrious ancestors. His Majesty will entertain a large and distinguished company to-morrow at the Castle. FASHION:II3I4: ARRIVALS. . . Ills Excellency .

An abor tive attempt was made (by an annymons letter in a respectable Morning Pa per) to check the increasing demand ; but this hottest effort failed in its intended effect, for the Market rose the next day, and there is little doubt but that the Tickets, which are now Sixteen Guineas, will rise to Twenty, if the great Prizes do not start To-morrow, The Ten Thousand Pound Prizes, fixed for the First Drawn last Thursday, and which had created so great an interest, was Sold by J. and StvrwalcinT, at their Old and Fortunate Offices, 37, Cornhill, 11, Holborn, and 38, Haymarket. The Number 8,49.8 was Shared in One Eighth, and Fourteen Sixteenths, the fortunate holders of which may, receive the value on demand,— The Wheel still contains Three Prizes or Twen. ty Thousand, One of Ten Thousand, and various, other Capitals.—Th e next Day. of Drawing To. morrow, , It is satu tuat Madame CATALANI supplied Jter self with a service of plate, of the value of 1,300/„ while she MIS iu Dublin.
