• thfoe was another instance of it. He (Lord Brougham) vi as then sitting in the company of a High Sheriff, whose official duties commenced in the present year, and who was of the Jewish persuasion.—(Hear, hear.) But I feel assured that he is not on that account held in less re spect by his fellow-citizens, as conscientous Christians, than he, as a Jew, held them as members of the Christian_ Church.—(Hear, hear.) Before he sat down he mould say one word more in respect of the school, the institution of , which they hod met o: i that day to celebrate, and he lui , d ed and trusted, nay, he felt confident, that the rules, established regarding the choice of professors and masters, vested as it was by the Act of Parliament in the Professors of the London U nive rsi ty, and of the Kings College, were such as would be found equa lly b ene ficial and useful. He could not take his leave of those who were assembled there, without once more expressing his high sense of the very munificent conduct of the Corporation of London, who had covered themselves with glory by the surrender of the funds 'devoted to the establishment of the schools, the insti tutkm of which they had met on that day to celebrate, and he had no doubt that not only there but far distant, the merit of the sacrifice would be acknowledged, and the chaise of gratitude be rendered to the City of London.---(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said that they were all aware the City of London returned four Members to Parliament, and they had then the honour of the presence of three of them.—(Cheers.) He (the Chair man) had been a witness to their conduct during the last Session of Parliament, and during previous Sessions, and he considered that the City of Londc,n was highly favoured and honoured in having four such• able representatives as it has at present.—(Cheers.) He hoped that all present would join in wishing them health 'to prosecute the arduous duties that were entrusted to th'em.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. GROTE returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN tha n proposed the health of Dr. Birk beck.—(Loud applf.Ause.) Dr. BIRKBECk expressed his acknowledgments for the honour thus conferred on him. There would now be afforded to the citizi.mi of London means of procuring education, liberal education, at no great distance from their homes, for tbr.:ir sons—education at what he doubted not must beco:ne a flourishing institution —and education that would not merely embrace the languages, but the sciences, and in the hall of which he hoped the parents, as well as the pupils, would assemble to participate in the experimental in struction and lectures that would there take place.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Health of the She riffs."—(Loud applause.) Mr. Sheriff SALOMONS saird, that to a certain extent he was a stranger among th•an ; but, if being born among them, and having passed 'ilis life among them went for any thing, perhaps he was - no such great stranger. And yet perhaps he was a stranger among them, for till within the last year or two th .e l aws made him a stranger.—( Hear, hear.) The. lay s had proscribed him, but he was still worse proscribed by the prejudices of the community—pre judices confirmed, perhaps, by the education that had prr.. vailed.--(IIcAr.) Then how grateful must he feel for the peculiar occasion on which they had assembled--t o cele brate t ) .ie commencement of an establishment 'hat would tend to remove unjust prejudices by advancing knowledge. —(blear.) lie believed that the noblest work in which man could be engaged, was the promotion of education. The Chairman quitted the chair, and was followed by Lord Brougham and the other compauy at the upper table. AMEIIICA. Sketch of the public career of the three principal candidates for the Presidency of the United States : NEW YORK, SEPT. 14. As the Presidential election is already an interesting question here, and has become the chief topic of conversa tion, I have thought that a sketch of the three principal characters who are aspirants to the Chief Magistracy, would be acceptable to your readers ; and I will commence by Mr. Van Buren, who seems to stand first in the estima tion of the public, and will probably be the successful can didate. Mr. Van Buren is a native of Columbia county. The period when he began to take an active part in politics was in 140.1, when he joined the democratic party, an - - A appeared as an elector in support of Morga:a Lewis, as Go vernor of New York. In 1808, he wa s appointe'l Surro gate of his county, and in 1812, was elected State Senator Dior the then middle district, which &lice he held till 1813, 'when the ascendancy of the Federal party occasioned his removal. In 1815, he was atypointed Attorney-General, and the following year was re-.elected to the Senate. In 1821, he was appointed a S ta t or in Congress of the United States, and was re-elected in 1827. He contributed mainly to the election of GenerP:t Jackson ; for next to the General he was then, as he' is 'aow, the most influential and popular man in the country., In 1829, he entered upon the office of Governor of New York, but he soon after resigned, in conse quence of his ap - dointment as Secretary of State of the United States. This office he resigned in 1831, and was soon after appointed IV‘inister to England; but his appointment was not confirmed 'by the Senate, and accordingly Mr. Van Buren was recalled. He was subsequently nominated to the Vice- Presickncy, the station he now holds. Of his personal appearance, or of his manner and ad.dress, it is unnecessary to speak, as his residence in England will have afforded opportunities for appreciating there his character and talents. As a ready and successful debater, he has few superiors. Several of 11;s speeches, particularly those in favour of the Bill aboliihing imprisonment for debt, and in support of the law for making provision for the officers and soldiers of the revolution, are regarded as the best speci mens of eloquence ever heard in the Senate of the United States. Those on the Panama mission, on the organisation of the judiciary, and on the right of the Vice-President to control the freedom of debate, are also highly creditable to his talents as an orator and a statesman.—Hugh L. White is a native of South Carolina, and is of Irish descent. He studied law in Philadelphia, and settled •arly in life in Tennessee. From the assiduity with which he devoted himself to the duties of his profession, he rose rapidly to high and honourable distinction at the Bar. At the age of 28 he was selected from a body of experienced lawyers to fill the office of the Judge of the superior Court. This seat he held till 1807, w'nen he resigned ; but he was im mediately after appointed District Attorney of the United States, and in the course of the same year was elected a Senator to the State Legislature. In this station he ren dered essential services, and was author of the new system of American land law. In 1809 he ryas appointed Judge of the Supreme Court, or highest appelate tribunal of his State, which office he held fol. six years. During the Greek campaign, when Gene - fa l Jackson was surrounded by difficulties, he was of tl'.o greatest service to that Com mander, by sending him recruits raised by his influence in Tenessee, and by the ~applies which he procured for his dis tressed and famishing army. In 1817 he was again elected Senator, and served with distinction the period for which he had been elected. He was one of the Commissioners under the Spanish treaty in 1820, and continued in that office tit t the expiration of' his commission in 1824. The follow;_og y ear , G enera l J ackson having resigned his seat in the F.;enate of the United States, Judge White was unani mo'asly elected to fill out the term, and in 1827 he was again elected to serve the next six years. During the pe riod of his public career, more weighty subjects have been discussed, more doubtful points settled, and more difficulties removed, than in any other period of American history of the same length. He has borne a part in al.nost every mo mentous question that has arisen, and is accordingly believed to be in no want of at least that experience which would fit him for any office in the Government. During Adams's Administration he was strongly opposed to the Panama mission, and equally so to the tariff. He has declared b;7, 1 .. self an enemy to extensive executive patronage ; tin inter nal improvement by the general P.,•) Government ver met his approbation. The last ofice held 'by him was that of Pre sident of the Senate. He nr,v; aspires to the highest in his country, and perhaps the tr.ast honourable in the world.— Daniel Webster was ho' n in the state of New Hampshire, and is about fifty-tlyeee years of age. His first entrance on public lif e was i n 1812, soon after the declaration of war, when, at tliAe early age of thirty, he was chosen one of the Re'dresentative s of his native State, to the 13th Congress. Ike was opposed to the policy of the war, and voted against Mr. Munroe 's Bill, for a sort of military conscription ; hut he was strongly in favour of augmenting the navy, ruld of treating an adequate naval defence. It was 0:1 these subjects, and in some debates an financial matters, that he save the first proofs of his talents as an orator and states man. In 1820 he was a I `.,letnhe r of a Convention of De legates, assembled in Br.ston, to revise the Constitution of Massachusetts, whe:f he delivered an address, which bears the strong impre - A of a superior genius, and may be consi dered as the 'ground work of his reputation. His second appearance '.n the national Councils was in 1823 to 1827, when in various discussions on the tariff, on internal im proveme-ats, the Panama mission, and other subjects, he exhibited those remarkable powers and vast intellect, which have raised him so high in the estimation of his countrymen. HGtv he has borne himself' in the Senate is well known to every one who is acquainted with the affairs of this country. In 1832, when the question for re-chartering the Bank came up, Mr. Webster sustained it with his usual eloquence and skill, though his efforts were not crowned with success. But there are two occasions on which he attracted particu larly the notice and applause of the public—namely, the two great debates of 1830 and 1833, when he overthrew the doctrine of nullification. To enumerate the speeches of Mr. Webster, and the triumphs he has obtained in both Houses, would exceed the limits of the sketch which it is here intended to give. Suffice it to say, that he is a man who stands in the first rank among the distinguished men of America, and who is particularly popular in the Northern States. Ills pretensions, therefore, to preside over the Tieftinies of his country are not without a good foundation. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1835. at borne. Arts, sciences, and education are stated to be advancing with rapidity t and public works ate earbAtAgea to the full extent of Whatever inein§ is at the disp6Bal `of the doirerhitehi: so far a flattering piettire Of dig state, .-2f: ountry, but we must not lose sight of the between Holland and • • Belgiumleads a good deg di . ,• ilu to fact that the rivalry exar.,.-Yier.:ron on both after mahirlg what appnts to us the hecss6l . y eltaWhaelcs., the affairs of Rolland cannot he said 'to be Ai AA tilitaVolitat)lo con ditioir. OA The - iantraty, we are persuaded that the Government is doing all in its power—short of a per fect reconciliation with Belgium—to ameliorate the condition of the Dutch people, The Number of the London Review, which has just issued from the Press, contains, among othei int& resting matter, a very admirable ;artidioli the " Irish Church Question." Ont hailers will perhaps smile when we recommend it to their perusal, as this i;tttri!sting and exciting . qt_teqioii, dictated appa rently by no spirit HF pArty. That an inhabitant of this counit-y tiVould be able at the present moment to ont'etnplate with philosophic calmness the question about which the fiercest contests of opposing patties are engaged, and on which their fate appears to depend ) will, to most people, at first sight appear impossible. For when great questions become mixed up with the interests of great political sections, it is almost impos sible for the merits of those questions to preserve their proper preponderance in our minds, over the interests of individuals. Those who are calm on these matters, are almost exclusively those who think little about them. The Reviewer in question appears, however, to us an exception. He seems to have appreciated the whole intrinsic importance of the question which he treats—to have given it his most sedulous atten tior—to have investigated it with a constant refe rence to general principles. The result of his reasonings is not the less overwhelmingly conclu sive against those who would maintain the present distribution of the revenues of the Irish Church. As they are not confin.tti to mere attacks on the opposite systera ot arguments, but are directed to the stir,;?lit of h very definite system, which the Re viewet would substitute for that to which he objects, they are less likely than the ordinary controversial ar guments to irritate the wavering mind, and they are more calculated to effect a change of opinion, inas much as they not only point out existing defects, but strongly direct the attention to attainable benefits. The Reviewer urges, not merely the reduction of the Episcopalian Establishment to limits correspond mg with the number of the members of its persuasion, and the application of the surplus revenue to the ge neral instruction of the Irish people, but argues for the payment by the State of the Presbyterian and Catholic clergy. The view which he takes of the question of the propriety, or rather necessity, of a public provision for the latter body is comprehensive, if it has not the merit of originality. But, by the intro duction of a much more expressive and correct phra seology into the discussion of this question, we think this writer has done a most essential service to the cause of truth. " It has tended much," he says, " to confuse the reasonings on this question, that anEstablished Church, and an Endowed Church, have been taken as synony• mous." And he explains the different modes in which a State may deal with different religious denominations : " It seems to us that no rational and stable legislation in church matters can be adopted till we recognize the princi ple that the state, as state, is no judge of creeds. Govern ment, in our opinion, exists solely for the protection of men's temporal interests. It ought not to carry its regards beyond the grave. It views religions solely in their temporal cha racter ; with their truth or falsehood, their greater or less tendency to promote man's happiness in a future state, it has nothing to do. It is the lord, not of the dead, but of the If' (says M. de Tocqueville in his very able work on the United States), it is of great importance to man as an individual that his religion should be true, such is not the case with the community. The community has nothing to hope or fear from another life ; and what is im portant to it is not so much that all its members should profess the true religion, as that they should profess some religion. Whenever the civil authorities interpose their judgment in ecclesiastical affairs, and decide upon articles of faith, they commit a double error ; they abandon their duty as civil governors, of consulting exclusively the present wel fare of the community ; and they invade a province which ought to be safe from their encroachments. " There are three modes in which the state may deal with different religious persuasionp. It may support the clergy and provide for the worship of all, or some, or none. The first of these systems has been followed in France, Austria, and Prussia ; the second in England ; the third in the United States. In order to compare the merits of these respective plans, as applicable to the case of Ireland, it will be first necessary to determine with as much precision as we may be able, the meaning of the principal terms by which these several systems are designated. " Religious teachers (says Adam Smith), in the same manner as other teachers, may either depend altogether for their subsistence upon the voluntary contributions of their hearers, or they may derive it from some other fund to which the law of their country may entitle them ; such as a landed estate, a tithe or land -tax, an established salary or stipend.' The former of these two methods is stow gene rally known by the name of the voluntary system ; the latter is called the method of endowment ; which name seems to us properly applied, whether the fund is derived from the gift of an individual, and settled on the object of his bounty in perpetuity, or is annually paid by the government. 13y the establishment of a religion, we understand not merely that it is endowed, but that it has received from the state certain political privileges ; that it has a legal precedence of other persuasions, and that its clergy are raised above the clergy of any other denomination, not only by their endowment, but also by their civil position. The Presbyterian church of Ulster affords a perfect example of a church which is endowed but not established. The same is likewise the case with the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches of Prussia. The king and court of Prussia are Protestant, but the Lutherans and, Calvanists (who are now for the most part united into one church) have no legal precedence over the Catholics. There are certain private endowments be longing to the ministers of each persuasion, and when these are not sufficient, the government makes up the deficiency. Both churches are jointly governed by the provincial con sistories, and neither has any rights which do not belong to the other. On the other hand, the Established Church of England and Ireland has legal rights which a simply en dowed church would not possess ; such as that its prelates have a seat in one of the Houses of Parliament ; that its members have an exclusive right of admission to the Uni versities of Oxford and Cambridge, &e. Now it is to en dowment, and not to establishment, that the voluntary church system is properly opposed, and hence it would not be fair to infer that because a person disapproved of esta blishments, he therefore approved of the voluntary system : he might think it both unjust and ifitkpedient for the State to single out one persuasion as the object of Its favour ; he might likewise think it injurious to society that the minis ters of religion should be left to depend on the bounty of their congregations, and therefore he might wish that the State should extend the principle of endowment to all. " We have already stated our titiirdbtli that the State should hold itself perfectly impartial with respect to different religious persuasions. This impartiality may be observed either by endowing the clergy of all persuasions, or leaving them all to be maititaitilld Oh the voluntary prin ciple, We , triltss that if there were only two alternatives in Ireland ? either to maintain the Established Church on its present exclusive system, or to leave all religious worship unprovided for, we should without hesitation adopt the lat ter ; being convinced that the Irish Roman Catholics will always remain disaffected to the State as long as the Pro testant religion is made the object of its undivided favour. It seems to us, however, a far preferable course, instead of abolishing, to extend the bounty of the State, and to endow the Roman Catholic, as well as the Episcopalian Protestant and Presbyterian clergy." For the proposal of paying the Catholic Clergy the Reviewer then goes on to argue is not on the principle, S votlatretparryuisionforthereligious but wants t t s h e necessity themn o of l a nity, that he combats the present system , which le aves the great mass of the Irish pe o p le wholl y un p rovided with religious instruction. Nor onthat does he attempt to palliate the evils of the Catholic religion, or extenuate its mischievous effects in Ireland: 14e finds in these very effects 'the stintiggst afgtinients fcif• pidviding for the Mintstgf6=--iff from aelvlidanee on the superstition of the people, and for supplying that poor and ignorant people with the best and most regular instruetion 3 in the deetrineB of the faith i ich they huid id be title; wilt& the Paris journals of have been received. The Courrier Fran raise states that the Ambassadors of England and Spain have, without any doubt whatever ; teriiiiiistrated with the Minister for foreign AitairS ) Eli the tiAd ftlith tilisk, , fied by the French Government with regard to the Quadruple Treaty. They stated that of late the Carlists had been tiltereti to transport arms and provlsitins into Navarre, without any hindrance on the part of the French 'authorities, whose duty it was to have preVelited a traffic as dishonourable to France as it was injurious to the cause of the legitimate SOVEREIGN of Spain. The Foreign Mi nister appeared unprepared to meet such a charge, save on the most general grounds. He assured Lord GEANVILLE and the Duke de FRIAS that their respective GoVernments had been misinformed; for that the surveillance was the same, although the local authorities were sometimes unable to watch the movements of enterprising individuals. He like wise addressed diplomatic notes to Lord MEItSTON and M. MENDIZABAL, denying in the strongest terms the concurrence of France 1n dlly scheme dangerous to the interests of her Spa nish MAJESTY. In his note to M. MENDIZABAL the Foreign Minister cautions him against paying any regard to mere newspaper gossip, to the prejudice of the honour of the French KING and Cabinet. It will not greatly surprise us if this remonstrance have a considerable influence on the future conduct of Louts PIIILLIPPE, and perhaps force him into an active intervention against Don CARLOS. M. TRIERS was from the first an advocate for armed intervention, and since his return from his provincial tour he does not scruple to say openly, that an armed intervention at the commencement, would have saved. Spain from the horrors of a ciyil war. The KING is too cunning to stick by Don CARLOS one hour after he finds that his case is hopeless. It is the KING'S character never to keep on amicable terms with the unfortunate, however closely he may be connected with them by the ties of consanguinity, or the claims of early friendship. He will, therefore, leave Don CARLOS to his fate, as soon as he is convinced that that fate is dark and inevitable The only news of any importance from Spain will be found in our extracts from the French Journals. They are given elsewhere. We learn from Galignani's Messenger that M. DUPOTY, who has succeeded M. JAPRENOU, as responsible editor of the Rffornzateur, was cited to appear yesterday before the Court of As sizes, to answer an indictment, accusing him of exciting hatred and contempt against the King's Government, and provoking disobedience to the laws, founded upon articles published in that Journal on the 15th instant. An application was made on behalf of M. DUPOTY to have the trial put off; but the Court refused this, and condemned him by default to three months' impri sonment, and a fine of 5,000 fr. The French Papers are unusually barren of into. resting intelligence. The Journal des Debats has a long article on the late commercial treaty between Aus tria and Greece, ratified at Vienna on the 9th of Sep tember, in which they claim the right of the free navi gation of the Danube, without reference to the dominion of Russia. We will endeavour to find room for this article in The Sun of to-morrow. The foundation•stone of the New City of London School—as will be seen by reference to another part of The Sun—was laid yesterday by Lord BROUGHAM, who took advantage of the occasion, at the dinner which was afterwards given in commemoration of the auspicious event, to congratulate the citizens on the prospect of a sound, practical education for their chil dren, which the new Institution opened to them. Our civic youth certainly stood much in need of some such _ . scholastic establishment ; and now that their wants are supplied, we think it but just and fitting that those of their seniors should be attended to. By far the greater majority of our Tory Aldermen require the aid of the Schoolmaster, to teach them, not only the first rudi ments of orthoepy, but the far more important lesson, how to discharge their public duties in accordance with the changed character of the times ; we should be glad, therefore, to see a second City School established, for their express benefit. Such an institution could not fail to be attended with the greatest and most last ing advantages ; especially to Alderman BIRCH, and some other Right Worshipfuls whom we could mention, whose strenuous Conservative eloquence at the Common Council needs only the aid of a little grammar, to render it all that eloquence should be. A few month's attention to Lindley Murray would soon suffice to give them this ; and then, what oracles would they not become If they are great in spite of education ; by virtue of it they would be irresistible. We wonder Lord BROUGHAM, who is such an advocate for the general diffusion of know ledge, has never directed his attention to the lament able state of ignorance by which our Tory Aldermen —not only in London, but generally throughout the country—are at present afflicted. We grant that they are scientific on all gastronomic matters ; and that no one—not even the illustrious Ude himself—is better qualified than they are, to supply hints for an essay on " the nature and properties of turtle-soup ;" but if we except their knowledge on these points, it cannot be denied that by far the majority of them are as inno cent of any acquaintance with Syntax or Pro sody—as incapable of substituting " we were," for "we was"—or of pronouncing the word " ap ple," without an " H," as they were when they first issued from their mother's womb. We hope his Lordship will take an early opportunity of investigating this branch of his great subject, with a improving the intellectual condition of our vievto Conservative City Dignitaries. They might be in structed at a very cheap rate ; and as we disapprove of the discipline of the birch, their occasional sins of negligence or obstinacy might be punished by con demning them to look on, as mere spectators, at a Lord Mayor's Feast. We have seldom read a more judicious, honest, straight-forward speech than that delivered on Monday last by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, to his constitu cntg, at Edinburgh. It is worthy of the man—of the Ministry to which he belongs—of th e cau s e which he advocates. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL speaks of the PEEL Government, and their attempts to rule the helm, in fiat opposition to th e w i s h es o f the peo p ; just inthe terms that such p ersever i ng f o ll y de serves and agrees in opinion with us— an op i n i on w l i e h we have expressed, at least, a dozen times— that the wisest speech the Duke of WEL LINGTON e ver made, was th at w h ere i n he declared that he should be mad if h e ever dreamed of accepting the situation of Prime Mi nister. Speaking of the House of Lord s , th e H on . bold little and Learned Gentleman seems to think, that if the by only e spheoowplae,front, and are properly supported or no appre hensions need be entertained of any future restiveness on the part o f our hereditary Legislators, reference ofCoinmons b House I ) .RLCE OF Si;0 1, 71(b; TP - ILS DA V AT ...XNE O'CLOCK.

Having given in The Sun of yesterday the substance of the King of HOLLAND'S Speech on opening the ordinary Session of the States-General on the 19th inst., v‘c consider it quite unnecessary to republish it at full length, as its details are wholly uninteresting. The only fact which it discloSes, beyond the usual run of common places, is the continuance, for an indefinite period, of the peace with Belgium. What steps have been taken to effect a reconciliation between the Go vernment of Belgium and Holland, the KING does not state, neither does he refer to _them ; but we T. assured that the Sovereig ns assembled pt To litz positively refused to entertain the question for an instant, though earnestly so l: :c.ited by the agents of the Kin g of Hou :ND to take his MA JESTY'S legitimate claims upon the Sovereignty of Belgiumi l :Lo their consideration. This may ac count fo: the peaceable tenor of the Royal Speech ; b".. we are of opinion that his MAJESTY has been wholly influenced by a want of money, and the un willingness of the Dutch people to submit to the im position of additional taxes. Holland is even now the most heavily-taxed nation in Europe--taxed to an extent ruinous to her manual industry, and fatal to her commercial enterprise. To impose an additional weight of taxation on shoulders already overladen, for the purpose of gratifying the pride of an obstinate Mo narch, whose narrow-minded bigotry cost him a king dom, would throw the whole country into the most dangerous state of political fermentation. Holland, then, will remain quiet for some time longer. Before she is in a condition to go to war, who knows hut that a second re-issue of protocols may suc ceed in preserving the peace of that part of Europe. We understand the number already issued from London does not exceed seventy-six---amounting in all to the small matter of seven or eight folio volumes These protocols have engaged the serious attention of the greatest diplomatists in Europe, and several the questions have been suggested in conclaves of all the Ambassadors, resident at the Courts of St. James's and the Tuilleries. When it is discovered that they have had the effect of co-operating with empty coffers in repressing the military ardour of his High Mightiness, the Puissant and Renowned Sovereign of HOLLAND,the world must b e fill e d w i th admiration of the wisdom which suggest e d suc h a mode of preserving thnv peace of all Europe I To the Dutch themselves the oyal Speech must, however, be very satisfactory ving T ; The so thattradeh o:t e he t o N lo G -: flies is stat e d t o be ialpro entertains hor Jes t h at t h e increase of the Coloniali reve nue will enr.4e him to diminish the burden of taxation • ", . • .Ndl&.

Lines ate In course of operation to the North, the West, the South West, &c.; and now we have one adve. , lsfl to the East, tinder the title of the Eastern Counties' Itaiimiyi which promises many advantages to that part of the kingdom. The superiority of the troiluroad over every other mode or inland conveyance, has been proved by such a weight of evidence, that it seems almost 6 work of supererogation to recommend it to public favour. The advocate of intro./foment, however, is ill qualified for his office, if he flatters hit - Ustilf that his task is finished when be has demonstrated the tiiifity of any of those plans of amelioration which the spirit cif enterprize, now so actively engaged in developing the national re sontees, is constantly bringing forward. He must not forget that the 6h9tacles which lie in his path cannot be surmounted, but by unwearied perseverance. He must return to the charge again and again, not dis daining to combat the often-refuted objection, and labouring to weaken, if lie cannot remove, the preju dice that clings to the " old way's." He must not lose his temper when a timid old gentleman tells him that to travel at a speed of twenty miles an hour smacks of revolution ; but endeavour to show that it is a harmless revolution, not of empires, but of carriage wheels. And when the " wisdom of our ancestors" is pleaded against the rapid movement, it becomes him to prove that the slow pace at which our forefathers jogged on, had no hand in rendering them the " glory of the world, and the envy of surrounding nations." In short while the march of public improvement is im peded by ignorance, interest, or prejudice, he must give " line upon line, and precept upon precept," to coun teract their influence. • That influence has been exerted in no ordinary degree against the rail-road system, but happily with out much effect. In spite of all the hostility direct and indirect which has been made to hear upon that system, it is making its way triumphantly, and it affords us the most heart-felt gratification to record its triumphs. What has the unprincipled opposition to this gigantic improvement in the mode of our internal com munication effected? It has undoubtedly occasioned a vast expence in the counter-exertions necessary to overcome it ; but if we look at the result, we shall see no reason to regret this, for it has been the means of proving to the Legislature, and to the world, the great advantages derived from rail-roads. It has served to prove that in point of cheapness, safety, and expedi tion—rather important matters in travelling—no mode of conveyance hitherto devised can compete with the rail-road ; that it is as well adapted to the transport of most kinds of goods as of passengers ; that wherever a rail-road has been introduced, it has increased the traffic of the district in an unprecedented manner, greatly raised the value of land, and given a new and powerful impulse to agriculture, manufactures, and commerce ; reducing at the same time the amount of the poor rate, not merely by contributing materially to the funds of the parishes through which it passes, but by the still more beneficial operation of supplying the poor with employment. These are the advantages which the promoters of the railway system have proved it to possess; and we appeal to any man who has the welfare of his country at heart, whether in a national point of view they are not of the first importance ? Nor is it to be forgotten that, while railroads thus confer inestimable benefits on the community, they promise a high and rapid profit to the individuals who invest their capital in them, thus combining, by a happy union, public with private interest. We might corroborate the foregoing statements by a reference to particular instances did our limits allow, but at present we are precluded by want of room. With respect to the New Railway Company to which we alluded in the beginning of this article, it appears to us to promise all the advantages that may be expected from a combination of the most favour able circumstances. The line is singularly well chosen, passing, as it does, through a level, rich, and populous district ; skirting an unusual number of towns and vil lages, at but a moderate distance from the sea coast, and far from that great source of opposition and com petition—Canals. The line commences at Shoreditch, and touching at the principal towns in Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, terminates at Yarmouth. The produce of these great agricultural counties will thus find ready access to the metropolitan markets, and its conveyance may be reckoned upon with certainty, as one main source of profit to those who may engage in this un dertaking. It may also be observed, that such is the nature of the ground selected for this railway, that not a single tunnel will be required throughout its whole course, and no embankment higher than thirty feet—circumstances which must greatly diminish the expense of construction.

THE MOVING BOG.—Regarding the late Ine s ' e f : ment of the bog of Sloggan, in Ireland , we have seen a ge"; tleman who was at that place last week. He informs that great pieces of the bog still continue to swell up 111 % run down a self-found:ch,:nnel into the river Maine, which I s about a mile distant from a. , e bog, and still it aPPear n a " level and full as if nothing of the kind had happened. 'a informant states that the quantity of mo ss which has sprefa itself over the adjacent lands is inconce ivable ; p ieces ° fr full rood in size swelling up out of the b o g and moving _°„ in a manner that seemed to the oeasa ntr y to be quite:l"j, pernatural. The news of thephelomenon spread raPT I over the country, and great multitudt's from Antrim, 13 ; mena, and Belfast continued daily to v :sit the s pot. s , innkeepers of Randalstown, which is a h•eut 2A- miles 1. tant, have erected tents in the vicinity o! the, bog. public highway is still filled up by the mo. lB After the subsiding of the first movements on the and Pa o . 24th ult., about 500 men were employed to clea2r sage for the mail, but were obliged to desist, ti .0111 large pieces of the moss rolling in upon them so as to en, that. 2 their lives. The first overflow on the 22d was so large and slud a great fears were entertained for the safety of Randalsto'lgto bridge, all who witnessed it believing that it would be l e . ried away. The force with which it poured o ut naaY, b , conceived, when it is stated that it burst quite a cross ' l ., river, which is of considerable breadth, and left a great Pe_f tion of moss on the opposite bank. Great numbers u_ 0 1117 , salmon, eels, and other fish, continue to be thrown for several miles down the river.

That moor game is decreasing nobody doubts, bl!.. that the black game attack and drive the grouse from tb?lel. feeding grounds, is a fallacy. In repeated instances th e black and moorcock have been seen snorting in. the 1 0 ° 5 0 friendly intimacy ; and should we pint, we do think,,aat, inch thick, to this complexion we must come at last rea l moor-burning, extended and rapidly extemiing , is th e g r to and leading bane of the grouse. Many farn:ers wally the opinion, that what is good for the sheep is equa ll Y A g nc ed' for the game ; that a rotation of heath should be t nr. e ;:, - 00 e by burning, and that the plant, when permitted to a nd a shrub, has the double effect of harbouring v ermin , But preventing the pouts from reaching their natural food. v to . this doctrine, plausible as it may appear, finds little fav ° 4 , in the eyes of gamekeepers. One of their number, a reela' as , ably shrewd person, treated the subject in the m ost sar. e . . ro tic style imaginable. " Why, a farmer asks leave to burn a little heather ; but in place of a little he burns a g r ba a deal, and then tells you that nobody can be more sorrY t _ a• he is that the flame spread so far, and could no t be stolieile Draining, too, prepares the land for a capit al bum biro ri to patches of crop creeping up the hills tempts the the eat warm food, and fills them with tape-worm after turn to the moors. Blackcocks are also fond of corn ;there they rem they stand it better, and, strange as it may aPPea r ' ra in is less difference between grain and gall, than between ghavo and heather." That these remarks are correct, we as i n g no doubt whatever ; the quantity of heather is dee r : win everywhere ; grouse, during the burly-gurly blasts ter, are suffering more and more from the want of woods and rarely, if ever, like the blackcocks, retire to the ow but then the great question is, whether it is better wo G r t s , stilt the welfare of the sheep or grouse ; or, give a preference to over-sporting to lands so well an t ho and cleaned, that they afford the laird more rent l a wo rld: tenant a higher measure of remuneration.
