Mr. BRIGEIT has taken full advantage of his Irish experience. Like many former travellers in that country, he has fancied that he could, during a tour of a few weeks' duration, make himself thoroughly acquainted with the various evils and abuses by which that unh ippy fault is S ffl lc ted, and solve the problem that had puzzled the natives, aye, and would-be legis lators, for centuries. TLie Honourable Gentleman is, however, resolved that he will not "bide his light." He has conceived a plan for the satisfactory s,,ttle meat of the Irish Church question, that fertile source of dissension and discord—the establishment of per fect "religious equality "—and the removal of all future disputes on the subject of " the loaves and fishes." This be has pubiisbed in the form of a letter —to which we gays, insertion in our impression of yesterday—which is to be laid before the Conference about to be held on the subject of " the existing ec clesiastical arrangements of the country," and for it he apparently hopes to have the concurrence of all parties engaged in the contest. His scheme has at least the merit of simplicity. He sets out by assuming that the most perfect" equality " before the law for the different religious sects that exist in Ireland—which singularly enough he limits to the Protestant Episcopalian —the Presbyterians and the Roman Catholic Churches —is indispensable. It is not enough that there should be universal toleration—that !very man should be allowed to worship his Creator I . l ' the manner which in his soul and conscience h believes t o b e most acceptable to the Deity; a nd that without incurring any disability or disqualifica tion on account of his opinions. No, that would be rejected with scorn, unless every honour or emolli ent accorded to the one were participated in by the ether, and the rival Churches were made like the two Kings of B rent f ord, it smelling at the one nose gay." How then is this desideratum to be attained ? .. _ Is it by elevating th r e os lto i - o m - n - anCaThoii; and Presby terians to the same position the Episcopalians,—by a llowing the "Protestant" word is Mr. BRIGHT'S —" to remain as it is , or, at least, to ocontinue to be a S ta t e Church, building up at its aide a Catholic Es tablishment ; a nd to com p lete th e scheme, a Presby terian E3tablis hment also, having a batch Catholic Pr e lates and P resb y tererian Divines in the House Lards ?" No, —this scheme of equality, w hi c t of l he seems to think would meet the views of Lord Jones R USSELL and Ear l GREY —be declares would, in hisl opinion, be, and must necessarily be, altogetherth er hn. practicable, —a matte r on which we suspect e will be the most complete unanimity throughout tse f the land. I t re q uires no subtle length and breadth o reasoning or prolonged argument to prove the absur dity of having "two Established Churches in Ireland —the one Protestant, and the other Catholic ;" or of naving in the House of Lords " Protestant and Ca tholic Bishops elbowing each other on the right reverend bench, guarding the temporal and spiritual interests of two Churches which denounce each other as idolatrous or heretical." That pint may, there fore, safely be dismissed without further discussion. But if it be impossible to elevate the Roman Ca tholic* ad Presbyterians, it is comparatively easy to STTN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 18%2, pull down the Episcopaihns, and thus to achieve the required equality. The condition of the squire and the labourtr would he assimilated, ;is well by stripping the former of his wide-spread Lmaiiis, and compell ing hiin to earn his daily bread by the sweat of his • brow, as wall as by endowing the latter with man si,:ns, packs, and all the 4ppliances for a ii' e Ot luxu rious indolence. Mr. BRIGHT adopts this course. His equality starts from this point, that " henceforth there is to be no Church in Iceland in connexion with the State." This is so simple and satisfactory a proposition that the Hon. Gentleman anticipates from it a very general and cordial welcome, not only from all outside the pile of the Establishment, but from many of its members, who are enlightened enough to see wheat is right and just enough to wish it to be done, so that but little doubt cen remain of the suc cessful termination of the onslaught about to be com menced on the devoted victim. Another question, however, remains to be disposed of—What is to be done with the spoil ? How are the funds now in the hands of the Irish Church to be appropriated ? Here, too, there are two modes of arrangement. " The first and most simple plan would be to absorb"—convey, the wise call it—" the revenues of the Established Church, as the livings become vacant, and to apply them in some channel not Ecclesiastical,in which the whole population of Ireland could partici pate. There are, however, objections to this plan which Mr. BRIGHT admits to be " of some force," viz., " that it would be hard on the Protestant Epis copalians, after having so long pampered them with a munificent support, to throw them all at once on their resources; and that to withdraw the Regium Donum from the Presbyterians of the North when they have no other provision made for their religious wants, would be to create a just discontent among them." Another and more complicated arrangement is con sequently necessary, and that the Hon. Gentleman has "ready cut and dry" in a form for which he an ticipates " a general concurrence of opinion in its favour in Ireland, and a great amount of consent in England and Scotland." He first assumes that Church property in Ireland is worth 500,0001. per annum, which on a sale would realize 20 years' purchase, or 10,000,0001. sterling. This assumption is, we fear, not very well founded. Even if 500,0001. per annum were realized at the present day, which, under the existing circumstances of the country, we greatly doubt, it would not, if offered for public competition, produce anything like 20 years' purchase—indeed, scarcely half that amount. It must be borne in mind, that well-circumstanced, real estates are now selling, with rare exceptions, at 14 or 15 years' purchase, and that they have even recently changed hands at a much lower figure. Could it then for a moment be supposed that "tithes"—at all times a very objectionable descrip tion of property, and peculiarly so when a scramble was going on for the appropriation and general con fiscation of every kind of Church property—more espe cially of anything savouring of an ecclesiastical origin, would bring twenty or even fifteen years' purchase. The notion is perfectly ridiculous. It shows that Mr. BRIGHT'S Irish experiences are not quite so ex tensive, or his information so accurate as he fancies. But putting the amount out of the question, as the principle does not depend thereon, let us see what he proposes. We shall adopt his own language. He says : " Let an Act be passed to establish a Church Pro perty Commission' for Ireland, and let this commission hold in rust, for certain purposes, all the tithes and other property now enjoyed by the Established Church ; let it, in fact, become possessed of the 10,000,0001. sterling, the income from which now forms the revenues of that Church, as the livings and benefices become vacant. It would be desirable to offer facilities to the landed pro priotors to purchase the tithes at an easy rate, in order that funds might be in hand to carry ont the other arrangements of the scheme. I ha►e estimated the total value at 10,000,0001.; it might not reach that sum if the tithes were sold at a low rate ; but, whether it were 10,000,0001. or only 8,000,0001., would not affect the practicability or the justice of this proposition. Let this commission be empowered and directed to appropriate certain portions of this fund as a free gift to each of the three Churches in Ireland—to the Protestant Episcopa lian, the Presbyterian, and the Roman Catholic Church. Whatever is thus given must be a free gift, and become as much the private property of the respective sects or Churches as is the property of the Free Church in Scotland, or that of the Wesleyan Methodists in Eng land. It must no longer be a trust from the State, liable to interference or renal by the State, or the 'equality' and independence of the Irish sects will not be secured." What then is to be the amount of these gifts ? As there is to be " equality," Mr. BRIEHT assumes them at equal sums, or about 1,000,0001. to each, without reference to the numbers or exigencies of the parties. We cannot help thinking that the Regium Donum, which was no longer to be granted by Parliament, was the matter which the Hon. Gentleman had in his eye when fixing the amount. One million sterling might be considered a fair equivalent for the 40,000/. per annum now bestowed on the Presbyterian clergy. The same sum given to the Roman Catholics, would purchase —allowing 1,0001. for each of one thousand parishes—a house with from ten to twenty acres of land for the clergyman ; but, in return for this boon, the grant to Maynooth, 26,000/. per annum, should be withdrawn. One million more should be given to the Protestant Episcopalians on constituting themselves into a free Churbh. And in the plenitude of his bounty he would, " BO long as they undertook to keep the churches in repair," permit them to re tain possession thereof at a nominal rent, for their own use only; but when unable to keep them in repair, that they should be at the disposal of the Commis sioners to let or sell as they might think proper ! The balance of the fund, the 5,000,0001. or 7,000,0001, as the case might be, to be reserved for purposes strictly Irish, and directed to the educational and moral im provement of the people, without respect to class or creed. This is apparently a pleasing partition. The Stats would get off all payments to Presbyterians or Roman Catholics,and pocket soma five or seven millions,—the Presbyterians would exchange an annual grant of 40,0001., subject to a yearly discussion and division for a million sterling in hard cash. The Roman Catholics would touch the like sum in consideration of surrendering the provision for the maintenance of r,laynooth, with whom, we suppose, Trinity College would, on a like principle of "equality," be required to divide its estates,—while the Episcopalians would get the same amount as compensation for that cf which they were deprived. No provision is by this projects made for the life estates of the present incumbents. Nor is it said into whose hands the million is to be paid, or what secu rity would be taken for the appropriation of the funds to the required purposes. Nor is it necessary, for the retention of the churches by the Episcopalians at once violates the principle cf equality, and renders the measure unjust and oppressive, so that it will of course be at once repudiated by the " conference." It is unnecessary for Mr. BRIGHT to declare that he is neither Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, nor Pres by teriar. The lengthy document he has just pub lished contains intrinsic evidence of the fact. The Irish as well as the English Church requires, urgently requires, extensive reforms ; but Mr. BRIGHT has not indicated the character of the reforms that would be acceptable to the people of "the United Kingdom." He has not discovered the solution of the Irish riddle, and may on that point justly exclaim, " Davus, non (Edipus sum." Happily for the people of England there are visible at the present moment, in various directions, the most strenuous endeavours to aid in the more general diffu sion of enlightenment. An educational movement has been so long talked of, that at last it has been ac tually, though almost imperceptibly, commenced. At first the experiment was tried in Ireland, and, after some bickerings between the opponents and the sup porters of the enterprize, it was found to work toler ably to the satisfaction of the unprejudiced. Addi tional attempts have recently been made to impart yet greater advantages of a similar character to different schools at present existing in that part of the United Kingdom called Great Britain. The nationel schoolmaster having stepped across St. George's Channel for a time, has returned to the grander task, it would seem, in a grea t measure , a lmost, one may say, re-invigorated. Very recently a series of novel ar rangements have b een a d ventured upon b y th e autho rities of the Educational Baard, and under the par ticular sanction of b er M AJESTY ' S G overnmen t , through the anticipated efficacy of which numerous and considerable benefits may be extended to the poorer scholars of all denominations. Allusion is here made, of course, to the regulations affecting the ripply of elementary which will henceforth be furnished to eleemosynary places of tuition at some thing less than the trade price, upon this ono simple condition, that the charitable efforts in each particular locabry shall respond in earnest to the genero99 pro position of the CI-' , /veralnent. We are anxidoc bait this may be cl&triy understood. It is but right, in - deed, that it should be thoroughly comprehended. Without pretending to be punctiliously exact in the proportions, we may contrive, in one or two words, to afford the public a simple and familiar illustration. Everybody, of course, knows well enough that in- 't-uction necessitates books, and that books necessitate a rather formidable item of expenditure in every large establishment. Anxious to obviate as much as pos sible the difficulties presenting themselves in this manner as obstructions to the spread of enlighten- went, the Ministry have determined to supply a por - • - - tton of the funds required in the purchase of works of an educational character, and, beyond this, to furnish the works themselves at a rate so extraordinarily mo derate, that it could alone be secured by the interpo sition of Government. Supposing, for example, that the guardians of some particular charity school are desirous of procuring volumes, the trade cost of which would be little less than 2001. in the aggregate, those volumes will be placed within their reach for say 901., with this additional assurance, that 301. of the 901. will ;in advanced out of ;he National Exchequer, if the remaining 601 be only subscribed by the benevolence of the local congregation. Assuredly we may be allowed to eulo• gise this as a most humane and generous provision ; a provision which reflects the highest credit upon the Cabinet, one, moreover, which we doubt not, must be responded to by the faithful of all denominations throughout the country with alacrity, and even en thusiasm ; a provision which augurs admirably for the still more rapid advance of the great educational movement, while it animates our confidence in the sublime hope of the moral as well as the physical development of civilization. Subsidiary efforts are, meanwhile, being strenu ously attempted is a variety of quarters—efforts which must inevitably prove beneficial to a nearly _ . miraculous extent, if only enforced by perseverance. _ . In spite of the detestable taxes upon knowledge, cheap literature is no longer exclusively pernicious. Periodicals issued at the weekly cost of twopence, or of a penny, or even in one recent, and we may add, respectable instance, a halfpenny—supply the very poorest classes of the community with wholesome information, insinuated sometimes under the alluring guise of mere amusement. CHARLES KNIGHT began the good work years ago, in his Penny Magazine, and that good work is nowadays thriving marvel lously well in a thousand directions, though in none so appreciably as in the Household Words, scattered among the hearths of the population by the hand of CHARLES DICKENS. The printing press, in short, is doing silently for the cause of education what has been left undone by the Cabinet, and noisily talked of by the Legislature. Meanwhile, this unsystematic and almost unconscious, but at the same time most effectual, and most beneficent development of the intellectual capabilities of our generation is being aided—nobly and assiduously aided by some of the most distinguished men of the age, by some of the more eminent students of statesmanship,and some of the most shining lights of our national literature. Scarcely any intelligent observer can have forgotten the grace ful tributes paid in this manner, not so very long ago, to the popular aptitude to receive instruction, by the liberal-minded and gentle-hearted Earl of CARLISLE —upon those occasions, we mean, when he presented himself in the capacity of a lecturer, before the indus trious mechanics of Yorkshire. Elsewhere, in our impression of this evening, will be found a somewhat remarkable instance, that the same intellectual appetancy of the multitude has not appealed in vain for sympathy to the large heart and comprehensive genius of the most accomplished man of letters of the reign of VICTORIA. It is well, too, we think, that the public should conn with especial attention at this juncture, the elevating and humanizing principles in culcated in Sir EDWARD BIILWER LYTTON'S oration upon Knowledge. Delivered within the walls of the OLD SHIRE HALL at Hertford, that oration has already resounded as far as the metropolis, and will be re- echoed, we doubt not, very generally through the rest of the United Kingdom. It comes to tha people as a timely warning against the dangers that should be avoided in their ever-active and indefatigable search after information. It reminds the reflective, moreover, of the precise value and importance of what is designated knowledge, and in doing so illustrates, by the happiest and drollest metaphor imaginable, the absurdity of allowing either Knowledge or Liberty to become the curse instead of the blessing of hu manity, the ruin instead of the palladium of our insti tutions. What could be more delightfully unanswer able upon this point than the observation Know ledge and Liberty are designed to be the safeguards and the directors of our social system. (Hear, hear.) You approve that definition ? Pardon, then, a very homely illustration. We do not fear the watch-dog while be guards the fold and directs the flock; but we look at him with very great suspicion when we meet him foaming at the mouth, and rattled out of his wits by the noise of a tin canister tied to his tail. (Cheers and laughter.)" There is, alas 1 but too much truth in the exquisite wit of the next allusion, when the orator continued—" Look, for instance, at France : for the last eighty years they have made such a clat• ter about all the grand results to be expected from liberty and enlightenment, that enlightenment and liberty have been frightened away by the din— (cheers)—and men in that country seem more disposed to get rid of the watch-dogs altogether, than to run the risk of having them driven into madness by the hollow clang of that everlasting. canister." Magnifi cent, indeed, and encouraging is the contrast glaring upon the general recognition from that subsequent reference made by Sir EULWER LITTON to the posi tion of things in this country, when towards the close of his remarkable oration he alluded to the legacies bequeathed to Englishmen by their glorious fore fathers—those legacies, he exclaimed, which have been "a literature more splendid than that of Greece, an empire more colossal than that of Rome, and a political constitution which still towers aloft in majestic symmetry, because the depth of its foundation has allowed for additions to its structure"—a sublime and truthful image, which called forth, as it deserved, the loudest acclamations. Addresses of this thoughtful and elevated character cannot but influence most benignly that intellectual development which is, of all, the peculiar characteristic of the present generation. Grateful are we then, grateful must be every iutelli gent and humane observer, on recognizing the efforts thus made by Genius to smooth the difficult pathway of Education to the People —to strew it with the blooming apophthegms of philosophy.—to glorify it with the divine light of experience—and, by so doing, to render the advance of Civilizition subservient, in the most effectual manner, to the diffusion of Chris tianity. If Catholics wish to grin political respect and in fluence, they must be consistent and generous. When they first started their Religious Equality movement a few weeks ago, we admonished them that a mere selfish Irish Catholic agitation would never do. Englishmen can understand the politicians who would, in any,new move, endow all sects equally, or those who, like Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, and the more consistent Dissenters, object to all State endowments of religion, but they do not understand men whose only object, while clamouring for equality, is to enrich their own sect, under the fiction of restoring property to its original uses. Englishmen understand also the men who carry out their principles most fully where they have most power to do so; but not those who, with all the legislation and Government of a country in their hands, falsify every principle which they avow when they are a minority. We warned our Catholic friends, in particular, that unless they in terfered actively on behalf of THE MADIAIS, then just sentenced to a barbarous imprisonment at Florence, their noise about religious equality would be esteemed as mere cant. We reminded them that every Eng liQh Protestant, of whatever sect, must feel, when two worthy individuals were sentenced to a felon's punishment simply for reading the Bible and be coming Protestants, that it was not only cruel P -rs c ution, but a gross in su lt u p on hi s own e faith. The Prussian Charge d'Affaires did so feel it, and remonstrated. And if the Catholics feel so deeply the prohibition to assume territorial titles in England, what would the: feel if conversion to Popery were punished as ? they now see that were not far from th mark. A little time since n noble foreigner coine, most hmourn.bly de puted from Genevp, to soliit English intervention will the GRAND DUKFI thrug'n the frotetnnt Alli- ance—a boly with whose panizin proceedings we have neither felt nor shownany sympathy. He bore, however, a letter of th© nest reasonable kind, ad- dressed to the Chairman .f the Alliance, the Earl of SuArrEssurtv, which, at the request of thp Noble Lord, appeared in all the leading morning journals. A deputatiol of highly - respectable noblemen and gentlemei was appointed to visit Tuscany, and intercede wth the GRAND Dugs for the liberation of the prismers. Amongst these, was Sir CULLING EARDLEY who, probably expecting only to put him in the wrong, writes to Mr. Lucas, M.P. for Meath, and Editor of the Tablet, to know from him, in wri6ig, whether he might convey to the DUNE any expre:sions of indignation from Mr. LUCAS, at his gross lnd barbarous violation, not merely of religious ecaality, but of the humblest measure of toleration. Mr. LUCAS had been amongst the loudest in raising the Religious Equality cry; hence, as is universally confessed, Sir CULLING'S re quest was pre-eminenty reasonable. Mr LUCAS had himself agreed that "the first step towards attaining the blessing of secure homes and safe altars, must be the destruction of everything in the shape of privilege, precedency, monopoly, or unfair advantage on the part of the Established Church." How, then, does the pupil of the Jouits wriggle himself out of his awkward position? Why, with about three columns of irrelevant scolding,and one argument ad rem—this to wit, that persecuticn is a question of majorities and minorities ! If the Government be absolutely Catholic —if, as in Tuscany, it has in times past burnt and banished Protestants out of the laud—then it is no persecution to punish those who become Protestants, and who would, like honest men, teach what they be- lieve ! If so, assuredly Catholic Emancipation was a blunder ; and earnest Protestants, taught by Mr. Lucas, will exclude every Catholic from the slightest share in the government of the country. The Revs STOWELL and MACNEALE will know how to brandish Mr. Lucas's arguments at Exeter Hall. What Mr LUCAS lacks in argument, however, we are sorry to see, be can make up in a WHALE style of abuse : to make men Protestants, is the work of "souping, swindling, mammon proselytism ;" it is " to make men devils, or anything, if it were possible, that is worse, rather than allow them to save their souls in the pure way in which their fathers worshipped GOD." We fancy Mr. Lucas has given the coup de grace to the religious equality movement. If he be its representa tive, the hoax is too transparent. We dare say Mr. LucAs may be acquainted with another fact or two, of which, however, we take the liberty to remind him. An old tried and ardent ad vocate of Catholic Emancipation, a writer and speaker of high standing, whose avowed creed for Ireland was, diseidow all sects,or endow all equally, was in the last Parliament member for Bradford. He had voted against the disendowment of Maynooth, by which he lost some hot anti-Catholic voters, but, unpardonable sin !—he had voted that the Pope of Rome should not have the liberty of forging titles out of English ter ritory. For this he could never be forgiven. Tuscan mercies only for such Protestants ! Well, an opponent to Col. TIIOMPSON was put forward, a nominee of the Orange Vicar,;and the Orange Club; pledged against Maynooth to the backbone. No matter. The real advocate of equality for Catholics must be punished at all hazards. Accordingly, the priest and the Ca tholics, in obedience, it was credibly rumoured, to a missive from Cardinal WISEMAN, watch the contest till near its close. The run is close, Col. THOMPSON is a-head ; but at the eleventh hour, down comes the priest with thirty-six voters, who had always voted on the liberal side before, and ejects by a majority of six their real friend, the liberal Col. THOMPSON, in favour of the Orange Club nominee. To gratify the meanest, most malevolent spite—spite worthy only of the beings amongst whom Mr. LUCAS classes unhappy Protestants, the father of Free Trade and one of the ablest Liberals in the House of Com mons, is ousted to make room for an intellectual and political Nobody, (worthy iron-master though he be,) sod a pledged foe to their Catholic equality I Ow" 6 ) two banre. Sir C rTLLIN a EARS. - LEY, when a candidate for the West Riding, was pro bably himself a victim to the same sectarian spite. He had been an active theological opponent of Popery. When, however, he appeared as a candidate, he consistently avowed firmly the same views on Re ligious Equality at the hustings which he had always maintained on the platform; his theological warfare with Catholics had not dimmed his perception of their just claims as citizens. Yet it was thought that the Catholic voters who only abstained from polling, (for they had no Cardinal then to order them to vote for an avowed enemy to their social rights,) were about sufficient to have given Sir CULLING a majority. If Catholics will pursue this spiteful con duct, if they will place Orangemen in power, and exclude their political friends, from pure vindictive ness ; if they will, in addition, defend the most cruel persecution where their religion is dominant, and refuse to show any British feeling of the rights of conscience, let them not be surprised if they be dealt with according to their deeds, rather than according to their words. Tuscany and Bradford will not soon be forgotten. We have emancipated the Catholics from penalties ; let them emancipate themselves from the bitterness, bigotry, and sectarian selfishness of a bygone age ;—or it will be thought that those need another CROMWELL who understand not the blessing of living under Queen VICTORIA. FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON —Seats will be erected around the parish church of St. Mary-le- Strand, the proceeds of which will be appropriated to the parochial charities. Her Mojesty's ships of war, in going up or down Channel, continue to drop their colours half-mast high on passing Dover Castle, and the same ceremony is also ob served in passing Weimer Castle. RETIREMENT OF MR. INSPECTOR FIELD, CHIEF OF TIIE DETECTIVE DEPARTMENT OF' METROPOLITAN POLICE. —Atter long and arduous service of twenty-four years in the employment of the government, this meritorious officer re tires on the good service pension. His urbanity of manners and conciliatory di-position endeared him to all those con nected with him both in and out of office ; and he leaves the service with the most valuable of all advantages, a good name and irreproachable character. THE GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANY.—The half yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Globe Insurance Company, was held yesterday at the offices in Cornhill, and the usual dividend at the rate of six per cent. per annum, free of income-tax was declared. The chairman (Mr. Fresh field, M.P. in the course of his address to the meeting, gave a favourable account of the progress and present position of all the departments of the Company's business, and of the results which had attended the revised scheme of lite insurance. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, deputy-chairman, and directors. Awls COUNTERFR IT Com.—Yesterday evening an adjourned meeting of the Committee of the Tradesmen's National Protection Association for the prosecution of per sons passing counterfeit coin, was held for the dispatch of business, at the house of Mr. George Waite one of the di rectors, in Shoe-lane. During the short period which has elapsed since the organization of this body, the knowle 'ge of its objects and intentions has extended to a large con nexion of tradesmen and merchants engaged in extensive ways of busiress, from all of whom the warmest expres sions of Ppproval and ready co-operation have been received The supineness of the law officers of the Mint in exerci sing that particular part of the functions of a public prosecutor which is devolved upon them, has at length produced the necessary amount of inconvenience in public affairs to occasion an effort, by combination, to per form them ; and in the vigorous operations of this associa tion will henceforth lie the great security which the public must look to from the systematic victimization of the titterers of base coin. At the present time, the machinery of the association is almost ready for immediate working, and con sidering the enormous amount of fraud which is willingly submitted to, rather than incur the annoyances and cost of a prosecution, it is impossible to believe that the public will not largely avail themselves of the admirable aids which this association proposes to afford, by the exercise of which alone society can be delivered from one of its most virulent plagues. The chair was taken by Mr. William Kirk, the chairman of the association. Two directors were addedato the list, and arrangements settled for immediate business. Mr. Brad don the solicitor to the association, announced that he had that day submitted the rules and regulations to Mr. Wm. Payne, the counsel of the association, and that that gentleman had approved them. — DESTRUCTION OF THE LATE CHARTIiT'S HALL By FIRE. —This morning about two o'clock the Assembly Rooms of Webber-row. BLit( kfriar's-road, were discovered on lire by a policeman. The flames spread most furiously. and ere the arrival of Mr. Braidwood, Mr. Connorton, Mr. Henderson, and others with several engines of the Brigade and West of England firemen, the whole building and contents were en veloped in flames. On the arrival of the firemen every endea vour was made to prevent the extension of destruction, but the fire extended its fury to the adjoining houses in Black friars-road, as also Webber-row. The engines being kept, however, constantly in operation, by five o'clock the fire was extinguished, not, however, until the entire destruction of the lecture-room, dancing-room, and Every valuable. A coffee shop also, adjoining, taken but recently by a Mr. But cher, was also greatly damaged, as also the house of Mr. Smith, Blackfriars-road, a chemist and druggist. The assem bly-rooms, let occasionally to Southwell, the lecturer, are not instfred ; and as to the cause of the calamity, nothing could be ascertained. A meeting had been held in the rooms on the previous evening, and upon the company leaving, all was left apparently perfectly safe. Insurances were partly effected in the Sun, West of England, and other offices. THE TURKISH LOAN. '11.3 Levant Mail arrived yQsterday at 'Marseilles, bringing news from Constantinople dated the 16th instant. The Sultan hall refverl to ra4y the loan. How ever, an indemnification will be allowed. There has been no insurrection in Constanti nople, and M. De Lavalege did not demand his passports. Prince Callitnaki, the Turkish Ambassador in Paris, has been recalled, and is to be replaced by Vely Pasha. NEW MARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Matches : Presto beat Pan.

CITY, Two o'CLocK The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted to 20.000 bales, and the market still tends upwards. American kinds were* to 4; Egyptian, 1; Surat, higher than on Friday last ' • Brazilian was without ch ange . S pecu l ators took 35,000 bales American, 2,000 Egyptian, and 400 Surat. The sales included 14,000 American, 1,000, Bahia at bid to 104 d. Railway Shares were active, and a consi derable advance was established in prices. In the produce markets this week, there has been a good business done. Sugar has been steady, and coffee which was drooping has rallied and advanced rather decidedly. The importers expect a further rise of some extent. Spices are rather dearer. A good business has been done in tea; and tallow con tinues very firm, as the shipments from Russia are retarded. In cotton there have been large purchases. Saltpetre is at full rates, and cochineal steady though quiet. Jute has been dull. The accounts from Cal cutta are of a nature to support prices, the exports of produce being small. The report upon the indigo crop was the same as previously. The amount of business done in the scrip of the Turkish loan has made the settlement to-day a very heavy one. and there is considerable loss end gain on either side according as parties have speculated. During the excitement some curious circumstances have occurred, In one instance, a telegraph dispatch was forwarded to Paris, directing the purchase of 5,000 Turkish. By mistake this was construed into 50,000, and a loss stared the party in the face of at least some two or three thou sand pounds. The rally yesterday allowed of a retreat without loss, and the party has reason to congratulate himself on his lucky escape. Of course, it is only for mere jobbers that the Turkish Govern ment can provide indemnity or compensation, but those who bought from first hands have a legitimate claim. According to statements made, a premium of 71.103. is to be allowed, but other versions make it 51. We think the latter would be a more likely sum, taking the average premium that has been realized from the commencement—viz., 3to about 10. The contractors, of course, will be entitled to their commission, and there will be, in any case, a great loss to the Ottoman Porte. Every one sees now that political feeling is at the bottom of all this, and the designs of Russia are more clearly laid bare since the loan was announced than for a long time past. Impoverished as the credit of Turkey appears to be, its pretended friend and ally —the Emperor Nicholas—will have had the credit of mulcting it, most unnecessarily, of a large amount. The English Stocks are more dealt in for money, but there is no speculation going on. Consols have been 100 k to 3 for transfer and not a bargain, it is offi cially noted as having been done for time. The New 31 per Cents. have been quoted 103-i- to 1, and the 3 • per cent. Reduced Annuities, 99g- to Bank Stock is up to 223 k, and 224 i. East India Stock is worth 275. The premium on Exchequer Bills is 76s to 78s, on East India Bonds, 84s to 87s. The Foreign Stocks have been neglected, and the settlement of the account engages attention. The scrip of the Turkish loan has bean 44 to s'j premium. The Swedish is k discount to par. Peruvian De ferred Bonds are steady at 62 to Equador Stock is at 5. Spanish 5 per cents, bring 514, and the De ferred 25. The Passive have been at 61. Dutch 21 per Cents. are 641 For Railway Shares there is a very buoyant market again with a further rise of to 1 per cent. in the cld lines. Large dealings have been entered into in Caledonian, Chester and Holyhead, Eastern Counties, North and South-Western, and South- Eastern. French Shares are mostly at full rates, and Belgian also are good. The Mining Shares are supported. Anglo-Cali fornian has been at bto y.
