During the last two centuries a grand principle has been gaining ground amongst the civilised nations of the globe—a princ:ple which has gradually in noculated the minds of tile populace, has infused into them something of the more elevated ambition of philosophy, has imparted an astonishing impetus to intellectual enterprise, and is now rapidly tending to the improvement of our social condition, and facili tating the revelation of the secrets of nature. Ever since the unsound theories ofAiusTomE were exploded, and the inductive and experimental system pro pounded instead, that mighty principle ha, - -; been accu mulating to itself additional vigour, and its paramount claims upon the attention of man have been suc cessively recognised by one army of disciples after another. We mean the principle- that more enduring glory may be acquired, and more substan tial advantages achieved, by the extension of human knowledge than by any other earthly endeavour that the imagination of mankind can conceive. That glori -orts principle, first germinated in the chamber of the philosopher, has been already disseminated to an astonishing extent am ong the multitude. The con quest of the difficulties ,'f science, the fabrication of the masterpieces of art, the simplification of the nbstruser studies, and the application of the various laws which regulate matter to Our own use and ad vantage, are considered to be icnongst the noblest objects for the attainment of which i'he human intel lect can strive ; and this, not L ierely by the mechanician, the astronomer, the cherni.lt, or the ma thematician, but by agriculturists, mer 'chants, and eiv4igw indiscriminately .

The allurements of philosophy have proved themselves to be unlike the aerial [music and the golden showers of CALMAN : the most extrava gant visions have been realised by yielding to those allurements. All the incalculable advantages which may be con ferred upon mankind by the diffusion of knowledge may be, in some measure, estimated by the extraordinary blessings already derived from that source. Many eminent personages have been so impressed with the truth as to have devoted the energy of many years to the popularisation, as it may be called, of science generally. Lord BROUGHAM has fought that good fight in England. M. ARAGO has done so in France ; others have arisen in other countries who have en eavoured to emulate the conduct of their predecessors. Excellently, however, as such efforts are calculated to inform the people of the facts which have already been acquired, and to foster those germs of discovery which are lying dormant in so many quarters of the community, much remains to be done before the great crusade after knowledge can be ade quately commenced. It is not merely necessary to dis seminate the fruits which have been already culled, but it is necessary to sow fresh seed and to irrigate the soil anew, so that fresh fruit may be produced for future distribution. The facts already accumu lated by philosophy are marvellous enough, it is true, but additional facts must be divulged and collected : the march of science has only just commenced. The source of all our discoveries and inventions must, therefore, be consulted, if we hope to obtain more of similar blessings : the national intellect must be kept in a healthful and constant state of activity, and this never can be done systematically, unless the most eminent of our philosophical minds are brought, periodically, into collision. From the interchange of thought consequent upon the assem blage of such men ; from their mutual collation of arguments and calculations; from the sub mission of the results of their 3everal labours to the scrutiny of each other ; from their constant retiospec tion of what has already been accomplished, and from their constant survey of what still remains to be accomplished, most material advantages must neces sarily follow—the stores of philosophy must thereby be increased by the addition of new data— unexpected trains of ideas will be occasionally sug gested by this communion of intelligent and original minds—and those trains of ideas may ultimately lead to the detection of some of the great motors of matter. The secret of steam-power was not developed under half such propitious auspices—or the mystery of the compass—or the combination of lenses into a telescope—or the phenomena of electricity—or the venous and arterial circulation. The British Association, now assembled at South ampton, occupies, to our thinking, the eminent position which we have endeavoured to illustrate. It forms a kind of guarantee that human knowledge shall not re trograde ; it is a national stimulus to the national intel ligence of great Britain, and, by inference, to the in telligence of other countries. To our mind, it fulfils precisely the office which was so much wanted : it promotes science by that interchange of thought be. tween contemporary philosophers which we have al ready particularised as so necessary. By deriding this Association, as some individuals are unfortunately accustomed to do, derision is cast indirectly upon such men as Sir JOHN HERSCHEL, Sir DAVID BREIVSTER, Dr. BUCKLAND, Sir RODERICK MURCHI SON, LEONARD HORNER, Professor WHEATSTONE, and ()then, who by their illustrious efforts in the vineyard of knowledge have conferred so much that is valuable upon humanity, and have thereby entitled themselves to so much deference. The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge was formerly maligned as likely to generate a feeling of infidelity among the popula tion,—this outcry origicated among the pharisees of religion, and if believed by its authors was clearly the result of a purblind bigotry. The British Association is taxed with being productive of no prac tical benefit to science,---that baseless aspersion can only originate in something akin to indifferentism as to the avowed objects of the Association. 1 The discourse uttered on Friday evening by Sir RODERICK IMPRY MURCHISON, the president for this year, was a magnificent retrospect of what has been already achieved through the instrumenta lity, under the immediate auspices, or at the sugges tion of the British Association. That eloquent and comprehensive discourse was a refutation—if any was really required—of the charges levelled at that emi nent body. It enumerated with a masterly per spicuity the deeds which had been done since the first establishment of the Association, —the geographical discoveries under Sir JAMES Ross ; the meteorological observations at the Royal 1 Observatory of Kew ; the zoological researches of FORBES and OWEN ; the geological labours of its associates ; the monster telescope of Lord ROSSE ; the ichthyological works of Sir JOHN RICHARDSON ; the dynamical mathematics under RoistrzsoN, and the engineering of RENNIE. In proposing a vote of thanks to the eminent Professor who delivered that discourse, Lord PALNIERSTON en larged in glowing and beautiful language upon the advantages as well as pleasures resulting from the cul tivation of scientific knowledge, and especially the ad vantages resulting from such societies as the British Association. To the noble and deserved eulogium passed upon that association by her MAJESTY'S Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, we refer the reader. It con denses into a few brief sentences the merits of its members and the beneficent consequences of its meetings. One beautiful sentiment uttered by the Noble Lord incidentally we cannot refrain from placing directly before our readers' attention. Re ferring to the contemplations and results of science, Lord PALMERSTON observed :-- " They are not only useful as conducing to the enjoy ment and to the prosperity of mankind; but they must have a considerable and salutary effect on the minds of men, for is it possible that those who are in the enjoy ment of great aad overweening prosperity must not be brought to feel a more proper sense of their position, when they see the utter insignificance of this globe as compared with the mighty universe, which the telescope of Lord Rosse unfolds to the eye? and is it possible, on the other hand, that those who, brcken by misfor tune, are bowed down by affliction, should not find a :etree of resignation and of patience in that science by which they are more especially reminded of the great duration of time, and which shows the small period of time during which they ate destinQd to suffer in this world, as so small and insignificant compared to the great eternity to which they belong, as is a grain of sand to the earth which they inhabit, or that earth itself to the mighty universe of which it forms so small and insigni ficant a portion?" As calculated to disseminate these lofty considera tions, as well as to extend the scope of human intel ligence, we look with peculiar satisfaction on the an nual meetings of the British Association. The general half-yettrly meeting of the proprietors of the South-Eastern Railway Company took place on Thursday, when the directors presented the usual report respecting the state and prospects of the com• pany. The document was looked for with much anxiety, in order that the public might know under what pretences the managers would attempt to justify the late increase in the fares and charges for con veyance, and also whether they were prepared to brave the storm of public opinion, and to persevere in the unwise and injudicious course they had adopted, or gracefully to acknowledge their error, and make all the amends in their power for the mischief already done and the odium incurred. It was also hoped that in the event of a continuance by the directors in their suicidal policy, an earnest protest would be offered by the general body of the proprietary, and that the sense of the meeting would be testified in the strongest manner against the recent change—a change which was adopted by the directors on their own responsibility, without the opinions of the general body with respect thereto being asked for, or desired. . _ The report (a copy whereof appeared in The Sun of yesterday) was chiefly remarkable for its total disregard of the interests of the public. In every line it breathed the spirit of monopoly. The whole end and object appears to be, how and by what means can the greatest amount be extracted from the pockets of the public ? It is not pretended that the former reduction of rates was not attended with be nefit to all classes ; that a larger sum was not thereby earned by the company, and made divisible amongst the proprietors. On the contrary, it appeared that I the increase, as compared with the corresponding half-year of 1845, before the reduction bad taken place, was 37,653 first-class, 87,712 second-class, and no less than 271,068 third-class passengers ; on the latter an increase of more than 200 per cent. True it was that a greater quantity of ground had been travelled over, consequent upon the opening of the Tunbridge Wells branch, and that from Ashford to Canterbury and Ramsgate, but it will be found that the increase more than corresponded to the ad ditional distance, and it is well known that it takes some time fully to develope the resources of a rail way, and that a far less number of passengers have recourse to it during the first months of its existence than when it has been for some time in operation ; a great increase of profit may therefore reasonably be looked for from the several branches on future occa sions. The directors, however, seize on the fact, that notwithstanding the increase in the amount received, and in the number of persons carried, the amount per mile per week earned, in 1845, was greater than that earned during the last half-year, to say that it thereby became incumbent on them to reconsider the scale of passenger fares, and to adjust them as seemed reasonable, after the experience gained on a trial of twelve months at the greatly reduced rates. This is the only explana tion they condescend to give, the only apology they offer to the public for the great additional charges they have made at the close of a session of Parliament, during which they relied in the strongest manner on the reductions they had previously effected as giving them a claim upon the nation, and as sufficient in itself to overrule the claims of a rival company, offer ing great advantages to the inhabitants of the northern parts of Kent, and to all continental travellers ; they do not mention how much less was the amount per mile earned during the last half-year, nor how that was calculated. They could not possibly suppose that branches just opened would have earned as largely per mile as the main trunk, which had been in full operation for no less than ten years, and which enjoyed peculiar advantages as being (for the present) the route by which a great majority of travellers to the continent must travel. We call upon the directors, if they wish to be sup posed to have acted in a fair and bone; fide manner, to publish a comparison of the rates per mile earned over the same ground on the fares in operation during 1845 and during the corresponding period of the present year, at the reduced rate ; without pretending to the power of divination, we will venture to pre dict that it will be found to have been more remune rative at the cheaper rate. If this be the case, what can be said of the conduct of those who put forward, as an argument to justify the increase of fares, certain circumstances, when, if the facts con nected therewith were fully and truly set forth, it would appear to be strongly in favour of the other course. Let the directors, then, if they wish to be acquitted in the eyes of the public, state what the earning has been during the corresponding por tion of the years 1845 and 1846, or the portion that was, during both periods, opened to the public—say from London to Dover, exclusive of the branches. Lord TORRINGTON, in seconding the adoption of the report, ventured to attack the public press of the country for the animadversions which they, in the honest and fearless discharge of their duty, thought it necessary to pronounce on the conduct of the directors in raising the fares of the line He expressed his regret " that the writers, without looking into the facts, and with out making inquiries into the circumstances, should make such statements, that they should have opened such attacks without strong and serious grounds on which' to base their assertions." Now, with all respect for his Lordship, we conceive that there were ample grounds for the observations offered. Those contained in The Sun were based on the simple fact of the in crease of rates, which has been found to be opposed to the experience of the past, which has clearly estab lished that in every instance in which reductions of fares have taken place there has been a more than proportionate increase of traffic, and that there has been a mutual benefit to the public and the com panies therefrom. We also thought that this pro ceeding was peculiarly objectionable on the part of the South-Eastern Company, being in violation of an implied contract with the public. Their advo cates had made the committee-rooms resound with praises of their disinterested conduct in the reduction of their fares, an argument of which they re ceived the full benefit. We pointed out how unjust it was that persons who, on the faith of the existing fares, had taken country residences along the line should now be subjected to a greatly increased expenditure ; that it was very unfair, not only to compel persons to travel an addi tional distance by a circuitous route, but also to charge them for the extra space. These were the arguments used in The Sun, and we defy the Noble Lord to show how they are in any manner shaken by the very lame explanation offered, and to which his Lordship referred with so much complacency. He took peculiar credit to the company for charging only one penny per mile for third-class passengers. We I believe that the Legislature are fairly entitled to that praise, and not the company. Mr. SALOMONS made an appeal to the proprietors highly creditable to himself to induce them to retrace their steps ; but, with some few honourable exceptions, the assemblage were blinded by mistaken views of fancied pro fits, and disregarded the prudent and sensible ad vice offered. We again emphatically warn the com pany to pause. Should they persist, a heavy retribu tion must await them ; the public will not suffer themselves to be treated in such a manner with ime punity. They may now domineer in fancied security, but they will awake to the disagreeable consequences at a very early period of the next session of Par liament. A letter from Rome, dated 28th August, which appears in the Augsburgh Gazette, has the follow ing : " It is stated that Cardinals Vanicelli and Dellagenga, the one legate of Orbix and Pesaro, and the otber.of Bologna, are about to give in their resignations. From the late events their positions are no longer tenable ; the partisans of the ancient regime are still agitating, and to that must be added that the Propaganda in Paris and in London are not content with the amnesty. They dream of a kingdom of Italy, and endeavour to gain over the youth ; the people, however, reject this odious idpa, and the persons who have been amnestied show them selves worthy of the clemency of the Pope. Cardipal Gizgi has lately addressed a circular to alt the authori ties, calling upon them to oppose every tendency to re volution. The Government has already given proof that it will not overlook any negligence on the part of public functionaries. Dr. Fossi, Governor of Fazenza, has been brought before the tribunals, and his place giver.; to another. MM . . Gorge and d'Asti, directors of police at Foligno and Pesaro, had met with a similar fate. The former only escaped being massacred by putting op a disguise, in which he got off. His Royal llighness the Prince de Joinville is expected to arrive here this day. He is charged with a special mission from the King, his father, to the Pope. lie will stay only one clear clay at Rome, and then return to Naples." The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelligence from Constantinople of the 27th, and from Athens of the 30Lh ult. The Constantinople journals state that accounts had been received from Trebisond of the suppression of the revolt in the Adjara, and of the capture of its chief, KEUR HUSSEIN BEY. At Erzeroum the people w ere st ill in an agitated state, and the guard at the Persia n em b assy was doubled. The cholera was ravaging Teheran a n d several other cities of Persia. One of the sons of ,the Smut had died, and so great was the alarm that the SHAH and his Ministers had fled from the city, and the members of the corps diplomatique were about to follow their example. At Athens the Chamber of Representatives was still occupied in discussing the budget. A royal decree has been issued fur the colonisation of the Thracians, Bulgarians, and Sgrvians, resident in Greece. By this decree they are all to be united in one establishment, instead of residing, as hitherto; in different parts of the country. The decree consists of 34 clauses, fixing the regulations of the colony, and the attribution of the different officers. Madrid papers of the sth have arrived. It would appear that Mr. BULWER, on being in or med of the double marriage, had made a condi tional protest against the MONTPENSIER alliance. This fact is now admitted by the Government organ, the Heraldo. The opposition to this marriage on the part of the Spanish nation was daily increasing ; the Carlists and the Pro gressistas are joined in their opposition by the more powerful section of the Moderados. In the Cortes M. PACHXCO will lead the opposition to the project for the MONTPENSIER marriage, and the Tiempo says, that so afraid are the Afrancesado party of encountering discussion, that the announce ment to the Cortes of the marriage of the QUEEN will be immediately followed by the reading a decree dissolving that body. There was a rumour in Madrid that the preparations for the marriage of the INFANTA had been countermanded. It is said that the mar riage of the QUEEN will take place on the 18th. General PEXEALA having been appointed Inspector- General of Cavalry, has resigned the office of C,p tain-General of Madrid, which has been conferred on General SHELLY. The troop, which were concen trated on the Portuguese frontier, have gone into cantonments near Seville.

We have received the Paris p.tpers of Thursday. The Journal des Debats has an article which may be looked upon as official on the subject of the mar riage of the INFANTA to the Duke BE MONTPENSIER• After designating it as for Europe a great " political fact, for France an event of immense national import ance," it thus continues:— "The marriage of the Infanta to the Duke de Mont pensier is a pledge of a complete reconciliation between Spain and France. It re•establi-ihes that traditional in timacy which had been so unfortunately broken. It may now be said without fear that there has been for nearly half a century a wide breach of continuity in the history of France and Spain. Those ties, which were formed by nature, and strengthened by religion and good policy, were unhappily broken by the Imperial-invasion. The hand of violence can never he laid with impunity upon the liberty of a people —upon their national in dependence. The recollection of this has long dwelt in the hearts of the Spaniards, and, perhaps, has not even yet completely disapp€ tired. Nothing can be more likely to efface the last traces of dissa tisfaction and consummate the entire reunion of the two nations, than the happy alliance that has just been agreed upon. The marriage of the Infanta of Spain with a son of France will, we are convinced, be the seal of oblivion put upon all painful remembrances, and mark the close of this unfortunate era. The Pyre nees will stand fast, Ifut there will no'longer subsist be tween the two countries, those moral barriers which are more powerful still than those of geography. At no period could the re-establishment of this ancient in timacy have been made under more happy auspices. There was a time, still not very far back, when it might have been accomplished, but not in a manner so com plete. When Spain had no strength but for incessant revolutions—when she expended all her energies in re bellion, and presented to the world no other spec tacle than that of an anarchy whose source was in the laws, France could not so closely identify herself with Spain without rendering herself in a measure a participator in a state of things in hostility to her own nstitutions,ther own policy, and the:principles of her own Government. Spain has happily saved herself from this anarchy. In these latter years she has secured the durability of her free institutions, by founding them upon the basis of order. Since the reform effected in her fundamental law she has become a truly constitu tional country—she has, in fact, a government. As the law no longer allows citizens to organise inde pendent military corps, and thus establish permanent revolt—as the provinces can no longer dismember the monarchy, and the local authorities can no longer place themselves above the Central Government, and scatter to every extremity of the kingdom the fragments o the executive power, from this day a representative and constitutional Government is founded in Spain, upon regular, solid, and natural bases. This is a work which undoubtedly can never be accomplished in a day —Spain has undoubtedly still to pass through many trials before she can reach the end; but she is well on her way—she must march forward rapidly—and France will now have greater interest in encouraging and supporting her in her endeavours. It is a great advantage to France to have acquired new points of contact with a country in which order is being daily more and more consolidated, and in which nothing is wanted but order to bring forth all its immense resources. Com merce will naturally follow in the same path as its policy, and Spain must necessarily become one of the most vast and valuable marts for the produce of France. But this is not meant to indicate that France has either the pretension or the desire to exercise an exclusive influ ence over Spain, or to take advantage of her natural means of action, to exclude the interests of other coun tries. Even when most intimately connected with us, Spain will not the less retain her full freedom of action towards her other allies, and n ill continue to be com pletely independent in all her relations. France seeks only to draw more closely in Spain those bonds which are rendered natural and indispensable by proximity of territory, by historical tradition, by relationship of sovereign families ; but she does not aspire to create for herself, in any other respect, any species of monopoly, or any exclusive preponderance." ' The Debate next maintains, that although the re vival of the family compact is not thought of, the marriage between the INFANTA and the Duke DE MONTPENSIER is of great "dynastic interest," since it sheds fresh lustre and eclat on the House of ORLEANS, and is another step towards uniting the great BOURBON family, now occupying three of the first thrones in Europe.. The first step towards this reunion was the recognition of the Queen of SPAIN by the King of NAPLES ; the next the marriage of the Duc D'AUMALE with a Neapolitan Princess; and the third the marriage of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER with the Infanta of SPAIN. A free-trade association is about to be established at Lyons. - The Due DE MONTPRNSIER, who is to be imme diately created a Major-General, has arrived in Paris. The Prince DD JOINVILLE was expected at Rome, charged with a special mission to the POPE from King Louis PHILIPPE. The account of the expulsion of the French from Otaheite, which was published a few days since, is contradicted by the Journal du Havre. The last accounts from Otaheite were to the effect that some hostilities had taken place, but that the natives had been repulse 3, and a piece of cannon captured from them. The accounts from Algiers are up to the sth. The country was tranquil, but in the neighbourhood of Constantine a caid, named LAKIIAL, distinguished for his partiality to the French, had been set upon by a large number of Arabs and shot, and his mules horses, and baggage taken off. His attendants fled at the moment of the attack. According to the Akbar, a French envoy had arrived at Tangiers, to treat with ABD• EL-KADER for an exchange of pri soners. The Courrier Francais says :—" An order has, it is said, been sent by telegraph to General DE BAR, Governor of Algeria ad interim, to prepare an expe ditionary body of 5,000 men to enter upon a cam paign immediately after the return of Marshal t3no EAUD."

SPAtN. (From the Times.) MADRID, SEPTEMBER 6. Ll Heraldo declares that the marriage of the In fanta with the Duke of Montpensier will take place, notwithstanding the resistance to it on the part of any Foreign Power. El Tiempo says that M. Bussen was to present himself to-day at the Palace, and demand, in a formal manner, the hand of the Infanta, the Queen's sister, for the Duke of Montpensier. El Espectador vs as sY.:zed to-day by order of the Political Chief. Mr. Bulwer, British Minister at Madrid, sent, at one o'clock this day, a second note, of a strong and ener,o,:ctic character, to Senor Isturitz, on the subject of the merriage of the Infanta with the Duke of Mont pensier- He warns Senor Isturitz of the danger that will probably follow a perseverance in that scheme. He maintains the right of England to interfere in the marriage of the Infanta, which, by the law of the connty:y, is of as much public importance as that of the Queen herself. He declares that England, of all °eller nations, has a right to interfere, as her armies bled and her treasures were squandered in sustaining the independence of the country. He regrets that so much mystery and secresy have been ohtivrved by Senor Isturitz on the subject; and fears that thereby he incurs a grave responsibility. Even if the Cortes agree to the marriage, it will nevertheless not cease to be a question of public im portance and interest to all Europe. The Queen of Spain is an independart Sovereign in her own states, but she cannot disturb by any act of hers the rela tions that exist between the Powers of Europe. A Cabinet Council was summoned at two o'clock in consequence of the above. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)

A YOUNG MID'S IDEA OF A PLEASANT DAY.— CROSSING THE LlNE.—Extract from a letter just re ceived by a clergyman, near Salisbury, from a Naval Cadet on board her Majesty's ship S —t, on its voyage to China :-1846, May 3.—We are approaching Nep tune's territories. We expect him to hail u; so-night, and we are making preparation for him. Men are sta tioned on every top with buckets of water to pitch down on the crowd as they go forwards to see who is hailing us. As we expected, Neptune hailed us, and asked what ship it was, and where from ? The Captain came on deck and answered him. As soon as the men beard him hailing us, they all ran forwards to see who it was, and then the buckets of water came pouring down upon us. Everybody got wet through. The captain invited him to come on board on Monday. Accordingly every thing was prepared to receive him. We got the fore trysail triced up to the forecastle in the form of a bag, and filled with water. We got the fire engine rigged, and everything ready. There was an old gun slide, which was covered with old flags for his Majesty to sit on. He came on board about nine o'clock. As soon as he came on board, all the culprits who had to undergo the operation of shaving were thrust down below, and all the hatches shut, so that we could not see anything /hat was - going on. Mr. M., the master, went up first ; then came the different officers of our berth. When it came to my turn the constables came down and blind folded me. I was then led on the quarter-deck, where the first thing was the engine playing right in my face. I was then dragged on to the forecastle, where the bar bers caught hold of me, and led me to the brink of the bath, on board which I sat down. They then began lathering my face all over with tar, and to scrape it with an old scythe, notched like a saw. When they thought I had had shaving enough, they pulled the plank from under me, and down I went right into the water. The moment I was out I got hold yf a bucket of water, and flung it at the first person I met. This went on till all were shaved, and then they piped hands to dry decks, which was the signal to leave off, so we ran down be low and got a good wash, and so ended almost the most pleasant day I have ever spent. SURREY SESSIONS.—The next Surrey Quarter Sessions will commence on Monday, at the Court House at Newingtoa. COURT CIRCULAR.
