Lord DUNCANNON laid upon the table the report o die Commissioners of public instruction in Ireland. SCOTCH CHURCH. 54) 2 9 ; 4I 10 Earl HAREM OOD presented a petition from a place the name of which we did not hear, in support of the Este. Wished Church of Scotland. Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions from places in Dumbartonshire, Bamf, Kilmarnock, Perth, and eight other places, against any grant to the Church of Scotland, and three petitions in favour of it. The Noble Lord also presented a petition from Perth, for the amendment of the laws—a petition for the repeal of the duty on newspapers—and one from the Glasgow Radical Association, for the removal of all Bishops from the House of Lords. Upon this latter he (Lord Brougham) did not intend to found any motion at present. A message from the Commons requested that their Lord ships would allow the Earl of Caledon, and the Earl of Charleville, to give evidence before the Committee appointed to inquire into the nature of Orange Lodges in Ireland. Mr. E. WILMOT and others, from the Commons, brought up the Birmingham Railway Bill, with their Lordships' amend ments, to which the other House had agreed. The Bishop of EXETER gave notice that on Thursday next he should present a petition from the Rev. William Baker Stoney, Rector of Brunsboole, in Mayo, complaining of the conduct of the Church Commissioners. EXECUTION OF WILLS. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Execution of Wills Bill. The Noble Lord proceeded at some length to point out the importance of this measure as af fecting the disposition of real and personal property. Lord ABING E R thought it was very important that the matter should be fully discussed before any change was effected in the law in this respect. Some of the alterations he (Lord Abinger) approved of, others he thought were objec tionable, and all he asked was, that ample time should be given to discuss the provisions of the Bill. Lord BROUGHAM had no objection to the Bill being re ferred to a Committee up stairs. Lord MALMESBURY suggested that the second reading should be postponed to Monday next. Lord DENMAN approved of the principle of the Bill. Still discussiou was of course necessary in any alteration of so important a law ; but this Bill had been year after year be fore the House of Commons, and its provisions had undergone very ample investigation. Under all the circumstances, he thought that referring the Bill to a Committee up stairs would meet the objections of the Noble Earl (Malmesbury). After a short conversation, the debate upon the second reading was adjourned to Monday next. LAW PATENTS. Lord BROUGHAM reported from the Select Committee on the Law of Patents, that they had made certain amend ments, which he moved should be printed. Lord RODEN presented a petition from the Reverend Harcourt Lees, praying to be allowed to give evidence before the bar of their Lordships' House relative to conspiracy which was on foot for the overthrow of the Established Church in Ireland, and the separation of that country from Great Britain.—( Hear.) Although the petitioner was a little wild and hasty in his notions, he (Lord Roden) was aware that he had stated many things which had come to pass, and he agreed with the petitioner in believing that such a conspiracy did exist in Ireland. After one or two other petitions had been presented their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at three o'clock. Colonel VERNER presented a petition from 1,400 land holders of the county of Belfast in favour of the Newry Road Bill. Sir M. S. STEWART brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the Clackmannan Railway Bill. Lord J. STEWART brought up the Report on the Ayr Harbour Bill. Reports of the Committees upon various Private Bills were brought up by Sir W. Folkes, Sir G. Clerk, Sir R. Ferguson, Mr. Tooke, and other Hon. Members. Sir E. WILMOT presenteda petition from the magistrates, clergy, and other inhabitants of Birmingham, praying for a legislative enactment against drunkenness. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. PLUMPTRE presented a petition from the Agricultural Society of East Kent complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for some measures of relief. Also a petition from a parish in East Kent to the same effect. Sir E. KNATCHBULL supported the petition. He hoped some measure on the subject of tithes would shortly be brought forward, as the petitioners believed that it would afford them substantial relief. Mr. PLUMPTRE then presented petitionsfrom Margate and another place, complaining of the present mode of licens ing ; also a petition from four clergymen, who had been for merly officers in the British service; praying the House to take the case of the two officers of Artillery who had been dismis sed the service for refusing to assist at the Roman Catholic ceremonies at Malta, into consideration. The Hon. Member expressed his determination to bring forward a motion upon the subject, and take the sense of the House thereon. Mr. SHE IL said the case of the two officers alluded to had excited very strong sympathy, and he believed there was not a Roman Catholic Member in that House who did not sympa thise with them.—(Hear, hear.) The Roman Catholic soldiers had been exempted from attending any religious place of worship but their own, and he saw no reason why the Protestant soldiers should be placed in a worse position, THE SUN, LONDON.

Mr. RUTHVEN rose to deprecate a discussion upon mi litary discipline, but The SPEAKER suggested the propriety of the Hon. Member refraining from any further remarks upon the subject until it should be brought before the House in a regular form. STAMP DUTIES ON NEWSPAPERS. Sir W. COCKBURN presented a petition from the in habitants of Wells, praying for the repeal of stamp-duties on newspapers, that they might have the benefit of cheap and good knowledge. Dr. BOWRING supported the petition, observing that this was a subject of consummate importance and general in terest at the present time. It was the duty of the House, when it made new laws, to make those laws known, and they could not sufficiently extend the knowledge of them. Many of those circumstances which they had cause to regret, and mostof the grievances under which the labouring classes suffered, were to be attributed to the inaccessibleness of political know- ledge. Mr. M'CANCE (we believe) presented a petition from Belfast, to the same effect. Mr. RUTHVEN supported it. DUTIES ON FOREIGN TIMBERS; UNITARIANS; AND THE SCOTCH CHURCH. Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from a large body of his constituents with whom, however, he did not concur, for the repeal of the differential duties on foreign timber. Also another from the Unitarian Dissenters of Bath, corn- plaining of certain clauses in the Dissenters' Marriage Bill, particularly those that draw a distinction between the position of the Dissenters and the members of the Established Church. And also a petition from the town of Port Glasgow, against the grant to the Scotch Church. As he might not have an opportunity of saying anything during the discussion of that question in the House, he would take the liberty of saying that the majority of his constituents were opposed to the grant. In the town of Kilmarnock, a public meeting was held, and it was determined to have the whole of the electors canvassed, and he had received a return from the Provost, from which it appeared that the result proved that there was a majority of 13 opposed to the grant. That was not a very great majority certainly, but he was aware that a still greater majority of the non-electors of the boroughs which he repre sented were of the same opinion. This had been ascertained at several public meetings. Mr. GIL LON presented a petition from a congregation of his own constituents against the grant. Many statements had gone abroad respecting the great preponderance of feeling in Scotland in favour of the grant ; but he hesitated not to say, that three-fourths of the population were against it. TIMBER DUTIES. Mr. BINGHAM presented a petition from the great body of shipowners and others of Newcastle, praying that the House would not allow any alteration to be made in the timber duties. The petitioners expressed their conviction that any change that should transfer the trade in timber from the Colonies to the Baltic, would be in its consequences ruinous to the shipping of this country. As there was a Committee sitting upon this subject it would be unbecoming in him to an ticipate what the result of their enquiry would be. He would merely express his confidence that the enquiry, if compre hensively carried on, would be satisfactory to the country.— Petition referred to the Committee. FACTORY BILL. Mr. BR OTHERT ON rose to present a petition from an individual of the name of James Turner, residing at Man chester, complaining of certain practices connected with the Factory Bill, and which he was confident, when in formed of them, the House would be of opinion ought to be dispensed with. It would be in the recollection of the House that an Act had passed two years ago for regu lating the labour of children in factories. That Act required that no children under eleven years of age should be employed in factories, without producing a certificate of a surgeon to prove that they were of a proper age. The surgeons, it ap peared, were empowered under the Act to charge sixpence for each certificate they gave. A practice had obtained of requi ing the children to produce ce rtificates every time they chamr,ed their employers. This he conceived to be a very injurious practice, and, generally speaking, it was so con sidered—tor his part, he thought it also a very unjust one. By the returns made to that house, it appeared that there were 356,434 persons employed in factories, and that 64,237 certifi cates had been granted up to February last. 1 hus the chil dren of Manchester had been taxed to the amount of 5201. in consequence of this charge. This he conceived was a great evil, and ought to be done away with.—( Hear. hear.) Mr. M. P H ILL IPS considered that the matter complained of was a very greet hardship on the poor people. He had never expected that the Bill would give satisfaction to the class of people for whom the House vr, a- then and he now regretted much that he had been so true a prophet. The House would surely think that the payment of the 6d. was in deed a hardship upon people whose average earnings did not amount to more than 3s. per week—it actually operated as a preventive on the poor children from going from one employ ment where work was scarce to that of another master. He was sorry that the petitioner had not pointed out some means whereby the money for the certificates might be drawn, in case the House should consider it necessary to retain that clause. The matter was well deserving the attention of the House. Mr. C. II ANDLE Y was also of opinion that the matter was well deserving of the interference of the House, because in many cases he thought the inspectors had far exceeded their duty.—( Hear, hear.) One of them, Mr. Richards, who was in the populous district of Man chester, had laid down a rule , whereby he had ap pointed 150 surgeons, from whom only he would receive cer tificates. He had also made it imperative upon a boy or girl of sixteen years of age who changed their employment to produce a certificate ; and yet if, from any cause, they were within the month again to change, they must again produce a fresh certificate, which made such a patronage as the appointment of surgeons valuable. In his report that gentle man stated as his reason for always requiring fresh certificates, that the children were much in the habit of changing from one master to another, and he thought the tax would have the effect of making them more steaoy ; but he (Mr. H.) doubted whether the Bill gave him any such powers. The other two inspectors had not made such a rule, but the House would be much surprised to find, from a return then on the table, that for certificates alone in those two districts the poor children within eleven months had paid 4,000/. In Manchester, where only 14,000 children were employed, not less than 5001. had been paid for certificates. The Hon. Member for Manchester regretted that a remedy had not been suggested ; but he (Mr. Handley) thought that repealing the Act of last Session would be a remed y .— ( Hear, hear, hear.) If some limitation was not fixed as to the age at which children should be employed in these factories, the relief the House was anxious to afford them would not be obtained. He had been told by a respectable manufacturer in Manchester, that even if a child was un der ten years' old, the surgeon would grant a c ertificate that the child was twelve, if the manufacturer said that the child would be useful to him. He was deter mined, when the estimate for the payment of the inspectors was brought forward, to oppose it until their reports, which he had frequently moved for, were laid upon the table. Mr. AGLIONBY bore testimony to the respectability of the petitioners, and should most cordially support any mea sures of the Hon. Member opposite for the relief of the work ing classes. After a few words from an Hon. MEMBER, whose name we could not hear, the petition was laid on the table. Mr. Sergeant JACKS ON presented a petition from D. Kelly, residing near Tralee, whose son had found a forged note, and for which he had been prosecuted, and sentenced to 14 years' transportation. The Hon. and Learned Member feared the House could not interfere, but he thought it his duty to pre sent it. The Hon. FOX MAULE said he should make inquiry into the facts stated in the petition. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON then presented a petition from several hundred inhabitants of Cork, praying that no further grant of public money might be allowed for Maynooth College. The petitioners complained that the interference of the Roman Catholic Clergy had done away with all freedom of election ; and that the Roman Catholics of Ireland were well able to support that establishment, as they paid in voluntary contribu tions to one man, more than would support the College twice over. Mr. O'DWYER said the interference of the Protestant Clergy at elections was much greater than that of the Roman Catholic Clergy. The latter had only moral influence, while the former had also their votes, which they invariably gave in support of principles obnoxious to the people of Ireland. Mr. SHAW denied that there was any comparison between the two bodies. The Roman Catholic Clergymen proposed and nominated candidates, and dragged the freeholders to the place of polling in a manner which, if it had been done by Protestant Clergymen, he (Mr. S.) would consider most dis graceful.—( Hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL took the liberty of saying, that the statements of the Right Hon. and Learned Gentlemen were totally false. It was true that Catholic clergymen had spoken at elections, and seconded the nomination of candidates ; for in stance, one of them seconded Mr. Vigors, a Protestant Member. Their speeches were printed and published, and it would be seen that they did not deserve the character given them by the correspondents of the Right Hon. Gentleman as to their existing violence. Were there not many persons in Ireland who would be ready, and were exceedingly anxious, for opportuni ties to prosecute them, if they said one word that could make them liable ?—( Hear.) But their protection was that they carefully avoided violating the law, while, as men and citizens, they exercised that right to which they were en titled. But, on the other hand, there was violence used against the Catholics by the Orange party, particularly in one county, for no other reason than because they were Catho lics. Was the Right Hon. Gentleman aware that almost all the Protestant Clergy interfered with elections ?—(" No, no," from Mr. Shaw and other Members.) The Hon. Members cried, " No, no," but would they tell him one place in Ireland where they did nol s ?, He would tell them of one where they did, and he could mention names, if he chose.--( Cries of " Name, name I") MrosMahony, of Dromore.—(Hear ) But 'he utterly denied the charge against the Catholic clergy. Mr. SHAW. would call the recollection of the House to a recent occa.Son on which the Hon. and Learned Member made the same assertion respecting other correspondence which he (Mr. Shaw) had received. Mr. O'CONNELL would be glad to know to what case the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman alluded? Mr. SHAW—To the case of Daniel Murphy,--( Hear. ) Mr. O'CONNELL—Oh 1 I am glad you mentioned that, for there was not a single statement then made that was not contradicted by your own documents.—( Hear. ) Mr. SHAW—I leave that to the judgment of the House. Mr. O'CONNELL—So do I.2 r (Order, order.) Mr. RUTH YEN deprecated this discussion as wandering towards disorder.—( Hear.) Mr. CALLAGHAN took the opportunity of rescuing the place from which the petitionfame, from being chargeable in the gross with such sentiments:" ... In fact, he had looked at the names, and found them to be those of persons who did not reside within several miles of Cork. The names of many respectable clergymen were attached to it, and no doubt they were de voted to the duties of their profession ; but the first name he saw was that of General Henry Barry, who was before a Committee of the House the other day, and whose name was struck off the list of voters for non-residence. There were a great many other names of the same description ; and if the Hon. Member had shown him the petition before he presented it, he would have given him that information privately which he now gave thus publicly. HAND-LOOM WEAVERS. General SHARPE presented a petition from the hand-loom weavers of Dumfries praying for relief. LICENSED VICTUALLERS. Sir J. Y. BULLER presented two petitions from places in Devonshire, complaining of the increased duty on spirit licenses. TITHE EXACTIONS. Captain PECHELL rose to present a petition from Pechell, a Captain in the Royal Navy, and a proprietor of land in Hampshire, comßlaining of the oppressive conduct of the Rev. Mr. Kemp, the Vicar of his parish, in putting him to great expense, by instituting a suit for tithes in the Court of Exchequer. He intreated the indulgence of the House for a few moments whilst he stated the facts of this case as well as he could. In 1826 the Rev. Mr. Kerhp entered into this Vicarage, and found that a composition of 191. 9d. had been paid by the peti tioner—the real value of the tithe being about 71. Mr. Kemp gave noticethat this compositions should cease, and that he would levy tithes. The petitioner feeling the value of keeping a good understanding with the clergymen, agreed to continue to pay the amount of the composition, though so much more than the value of the tithe. Mr. Kemp demanded an increase of 201. per cent., which was, of course, refused. The petitioner, still desirous of keeping up a good feeling, agreed to refer the matter to some arbitrator, to settle their differences. He did not wish by his remarks to cast any reflection upon the clergy as a body ; he hoped this case was singular, though he recollected that a case of a somewhat similar nature had been presented a few nights since. Mr. Kemp chose as arbitrator his own solicitor, and introduced him to the petitioner to settle the dis pute, in consequence of which he derived a benefit from the conversation, which was not intended for a professional man. Mr. Kemp immediately gave notice that he would claim the tithe of turnips generally. The petitioner required a specific demand to be made of the claim. The clergyman re fused to do this, and the consequence was, that he claimed for 3/. 65., and succeeded in proving only a third of his claim. This could be much better settled by an arbitrator, or before two ma gistrates ; but Mr. Kemp chose to bring a suit into the Court of Exchequer, and he would shortly state what had been the consequence of that proceeding.—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member then referred to the proceedings in this case in the Court of Exchequer, and said that in his opinion the Lord Chief Baron ( Lyndhurst) had mistaken the case. That Noble Lord had decided that the Rev. Mr. Kemp had a right to the tithes of turnips before the hurdles are placed, unless the sheep were allowed to graze over the whole field.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Now this was contrary to the feelings and opinions, as well as the practice of the farmers of the County. He would not further detain the House than by stating that the claim made by the clergyman was 31. 6s. ; a valuator said that 30s. was the utmost ; the costs of the clergyman were 2381. but reduced on taxation to 2071. 18s. sd. The petitioner's own bill amounted to 1101. 10s. id., although the Coun sel for the petitioner, then the defendant, seeing the gross ness of the proceedings, actually acted gratuitously, and the solicitor who acted for him was actuated by the same motives, and made no other charge than for the costs out of pocket.— ( Cheers and laughter.) The whole amount of costs incurred in the recovery of this sum of 31. 6s. actually amount to 318/. Bs. 11d. The Gallant Member then moved that the petition be brought up. Mr. E STCOURT felt obliged to say, that he could not think that the case had been fairly stated. It was impos sible that the Reverend Gentlemen would have ran the risk of expending upwards of 2001., for the purpose of recovering the trttling sum of 3/. 65., if he could have gone befo , e a Magis trate. l'he only object of the petition appeared to him to be, to show the hardship of the proceeding in the Court of Exche quer, and to lay before the House th.• fact of the Lord Chief Baron having t.:ken a wrong view of the matter. If such was the ob j .ct of the petition, it v.a , properly enough brought Houic.—(l - lear, hear, hear. If such were re;,l'y intention, tin- [louse would tal<e time to consider of 111. e,, before coming to a decision. He for one was inelini L I t o b,.- lieve in the law of the Lord Chief Baron, in preference to that of the Gallant Officer. He had no doubt but that the clergyman had been driven to take the course he had done. The ATTORN E Y- GENE RAL said that it seemed to him a very proper petition to bring before the House, in order to spew the state of the law of the land as it at present stood, and in order to induce the Legislature to alter it. He must protest, however, against that House being in any manner considered as a Court of appeal from any of the Courts in Westminster Hall. Though he differed from the opinions of the Noble Lord who decided the case, still he was eminent for his learning and impartiality ; arid he had uo doubt but the decree was made in str:ot conformity with the law of the land.—( Hear.) In fact, the Gallant Officer had stated that the decision was founded upon other decisions of 150 years ago—it was to be borne in mind, that during that time there had been no alteration in the law, and the Learned Baron was bound to take the law as he found it. Mr. HUME did not understand the petition to be brought forward in the nature of an appeal at all, but for the purpose of showing the absolute necessity for a change in the law, which as it now stood obliged a party to incur an ex pense of near 4001. in the recovery of a paltry sum of 31. 10s. It was all, too, for the support of the Church. —( Hear, hear, and cries of " No, no.") Would any one say that tithes were to be appropriated to other than Church purposes. This suit was for the purpose of reco vering tithes—therefore, for the support of the Church, which, in consequence of these iniquitous suits, had become a curse to the country. He trusted that the Ministry would not allow an hour to pass which they could possibly avoid, before bringing in an alteration in the law in that respect. Sir ROBERT INGLIS said a few words which were to tally inaudible in the Gallery. Mr. GILL ON considered the petition properly brought for ward for the purpose of calling the attention of the House to the nature of these proceedings. The clergyman in this case demanded the tithes of turnips, when he was perfectly sure of getting his tithes of the sheep which were to be fed off them, and of the corn to be grown on the land. According to the report of the Hon. and Gallant Member lawyers were about to loose their distinctive appellation. The rapacity which usually attached to them had in this case gone over to the clergy. Lord SANDON did not consider it fair for Hon. Members to bring forward such gross charges, and stigmatize the con duct of parties who could have no opportunity of defending themselves in that House. Upon the very face of this case, it was clear that the other party would have something to say upon the matter, for it was impossible to believe that, for the recovery of 31. 6s. he would have willingly gone into an ex pense of upwards of 2001. PLURALITY OF VOTING. Mr. A. CHAPMAN presented a petition from Whitby against beer and spirit shops. And one from the same place, against the repeal of Sturges Bourne's Act. Mr. HUME said that Sturges Bourne's Act, instead of taking away the rights of the people, would destroy the plu rality of voting, which was an unfair monopoly. Colonel EVANS said Sturges Bourne's Act was so ob noxious, that wherever it was introduced, a perpetual feud had been the consequence. Mr. GO ULBURN was surprised that the Hon. Member for Middlesex should oppose plurality of voting, after support ing a similar clause in the Poor Law Bill.—( Hear. ) Mr. HUME assured the Hon. Member that he entered his solemn protest against that clause, as inconsistent with the whole Bill. A message from the Lords announced that their Lordships had agreed to several bills, for which see Lord's Report. CORPORATION REFORM. Lord STANLEY gave notice that upon the House going into Committee on the Municipal Corporation Re form Bill, he should move an amendment to obviate the frequency of elections of councilmen, and also some verbal amendments which he did not think the Government would o ppose, as they were intended toll render the working of the Bill more effective. Mr. C. BULLER gave notice that he should move an amendment, to the effect that all elections of common council men should be annual.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. GROTE gave notice that he should move an amend ment that it should be competent for any municipal corporation to direct the votes of the qualified rate-payers at all such elec tions to be taken by ballot. —( Hear, hear. ) Mr. GOULBURNE, on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Member for Tamworth, gave notice that he ( Sir R. Peel) would move as an amendment, to the 6th clause of the Corporation Reform Bill, that the payment of rates should be as necessary for the' qualification of electors under this Act as under the Reform Act: Sir R. INGLIS gave notice that he would move that the new Bill should not come into operation in any burgess till it had been accepted by an absolute majority of the same.— ( Great laughter on the Ministerial side of the House.) AFFAIRS OF TANJORE. Mr. SHEIL renewed the notice he had formerly given respecting the Commission appointed to inquire into the affairs of the late Rajah of Tanjore, for Tuesday next. Mr. FINN moved for certain returns respecting the Courts of Petty Sessions in Ireland, which was ordered. IMPORTATION OF CORN. Mr. P. THOMPSON, in answer to a question from an H on . Member, said that a ißill to prevent the illegal importa tion of corn from the islands of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey, was now ready, and would be introduced into that House as soon as possible. Mr. GILL ON asked the Lord Advocate what legal autho rity the General Assembly of Scotland had to suspend on a lawful working day the industrious pursuits of the labour ing classes ?—(Cries of " Hear, hear.) He asked this question, therefore, in consequence of the General Assembly having appointed July 3d as a fast-day in Scotland. The LORD ADVOCATE supposed the authority of the General Assembly arose out of its spiritual character, and that it was considered to be altogether indisputable. The Report of the Committee of Public Instruction was brought up, which upon the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL was ordered to be printed. Seine conversation took place between Lord J.

At the Gymnasium, however, the number of pupils is seldom above twenty-nine or thirty, so the professors can de rive only a small additional income from that source; at the school the number fluctuates between three hundred and feet hundred, and there the school fees must form a-very material part of the remuneration to the professors. The French and English masters, and the other teachers, are paid not very li berally, but evidently sufficiently so to procure the services of respectable and competent men. There is a standing Com mittee composed of four Senators and the five principl clergy men, under whose controul everything connected with the schools are placed. This plan, which I have endeavoured to make clear to You r readers, has pleased me much, and is the same, with sliglig modifications, on which the higher order of public schools are established all over Germany. There are three or four similar schools in the neighbourhood—that is to say, within 50 miles; and that of Lubeck, I have been told by some people, is eve° superior to that of Hamburg ; at all events an advantageou s spirit of emulation exists between the two. The comme rcial department. however, I am led to believe, is incontestibly so ,erior to Hamburg. I have been somewhat diffuse on this subject from two nlos tives.

I; might form a feature in the C 0 1" potation Reform Bill to require every Corporation to devote a portion of its funds to the erection of such a school, and' where a better plan could not by suggested, the German pla n might be adopted. My second motive is to call the attention of the English. public to the school in question. Many children are sent ovet" to the Continent for education, and very frequently, I fear, pa rents afterwards find cause bitterly to repent the step. 1 , 11 France schools are on a worse footing even than in England , and children returning from French schools seldom bring an/ thing back with them but bad morals and a smattering of the language. Tho public schools of Hamburg and Lubeck, on the other hand, are establishments of acknowledged eminence ; there the sons of the best families of the place, and of many of the wealthy or noble families of the country round, are educa ted, and the constant vigilance of the public authorities is ex ercised, to maintain the efficiency of the establishments. t 6 be professors all receive one or two pupils as boarders into their houses, and their charges, though higher than those of a boarding-school, are by no means exorbitant. The En g lis h h and French teachers do the same, and thus an advantageoesa opportunity is offered to parents who wish their children to, be educated abroad, of placing them at a first-rate public school , and securing them at the same time all the enjoyments of English Family. THE ENGLISH IS HAMBURG. (From the Morning Herald.) HAMBURG, JUNE 2. My Dear Herald,—The most important event that has re• cently happened in Germany is the junction of Baden with the Commercial Union of Prussia, and it seems that there is now not the least doubt entertained that Frankfort and Nassau will join in a few weeks. There will then only remain Hanover, Brunswick, Mecklenburg, Oldenburg, Holstein, and the three free cities of Hamburg, Lubeck, and Bremen, that will not have been brought under the direct commercial control of Prussia. All the rest of Germany, excepting always the Aus trian States, will then form one great commercial State, con taining a population of about 25,000,000 of inhabitants, with whom it will be of vital importance to England to enter into friendly relations, by agreeing to a cessation of those Custom house hostilities by which the intercourse between England and Germany is at present so materially impeded. It would be vain to regret a state of things which, however desirable it ni:ght have 11:.cn to have prevented it, has now been completely ; it cl i o7;[ ( 1 be the business of our Government, by liereediate i n waken the effects of a powerful coaliioh thicett , ( l , :Ig.,;inst our commerce, Unfortunately Cue party ,t,-uggle going on in EiLlaial is calculated to destro) a groat measure her influence on the Continent. No one knows, though of course every one builds up a fabric of Tutu. rite on the shadowy basis of his hopes and fears, which of the two contending principles will finally triumph. The conse quence of this state of things is most injuriously felt by all our foreign Ambassadors. The greater part of them are sedu lously occupied in shaping their conduct in such a manner that another change of Ministers may not necessarily call for a change in the diplomatic appointments to this or that Court ; and even where principle and duty are preferred to official se curity, an English Ambassador finds his influence completely lamed, by the opinion, either real or affected, which prevails there, that the Ministerial arrangements of England for the time being are to be considered only of a temporary character. Such a state of things has now continued for nearly five years, and most ably has Prussia taken advantage of it to draw nearly all the minor States of Germany within her power ; those that still remain independent are enumerated above, but in all of them the agents of Prussia are actively engaged in endeavour ing to complete the commercial subjection of Germany, Han over, Brunswick, Holstein, Oldenburg, Mecklenburg ; and the three Hanse Towns ought to be prevailed on immediately to form a counter union under the protection of England. Den mark, Belgium, and Holland might possibly be induced to join it, in which case a balance of commercial power would be re established. The accession of Baden to the commercial league will pro bably be found more injurious to France than to England ; but the same liberal policy by which England may yet rescue the maritime States of the North of Germany, would have en abled France to have preserved Bavaria, Wirtemberg, and Baden, from the clutches of Prussia. Let our Statesmen be careful not to lose sight of the important fact, that not one of the maritime States of Germany has yet joined the commercial league against us, and not one of them will join it, if England offers them terms as advantageous as those which Prussia offers ; but that every one will join it if precautionary mea sures are not taken, and that then the whole of Germany will be sealed against the produce of English industry as effec tually as France is at this moment. The announcement that their Government had joined the league seems to have come most unexpectedly upon the people of Baden, On the 18th ult. the Second Chamber were occu- Cod with the discussion of a resolution directed against the Diet of Frankfort. Von Rotteck had brought the resolution forward, and supported it by a speech of even more than usual energy. His speech was ordered to be printed by the Cham ber, but has since been suppressed by the Government, and every attempt to insert a report of it in any German paper has been baffled by the implacable vigilance of the censors. The Ministry did not meet the resolution with a direct negative, but contented themselves with referring it for consideration to the Sections of the Chamber, which was agreed to after an ani mated and prolonged debate. Immediately after the close of the debate, the Minister of Finance entered, and astonished the assembly by announcing that on the 12th (six days pre viously) a treaty had been signed at Berlin, by which Baden agreed to join the Commercial Union. The Chamber was invited to sanction :the treaty by their vote, and as it is well known that a number of the members are favourably disposed to the principle of the measure, there is no doubt that the Government will immediately be able to obtain the requisite sanction. To some of the merchants the effects of the measure will be ruinous, as not only the higher rate of duties immediately comes into force, but upon all goods already admitted into the Grand Duchy and deposited in the Government warehousee, the extra duties will have to be paid. So completely, said, had the negotiation been kept a secret, that not one merchant had cleared a greater quantity of merchandize than was necessary to meet the current demand. Baden binds itself to these painful terms without even entering upon the imme diate enjoyment of the advantages which the Union holds out, for the Custom House line against her is to be maintained for three months longer, with a view that the stocks already in the hands of the retailers may meanwhile be consumed. I have written at such length upon the subject of the Com mercial Union, that I have scarcely left myself room for any local gossip. I promised, however, in my last letter to give you some account of the public school here, and shall now proceed to the due discharge of the obligation so incurred. The public school, properly so called, is divided into two de partments—the classical and the commercial. Each of these two branches is again divided into five classes, and to each of these ten classes is assigned a separate class room, under the immediate superintendence of a master responsible for the management of his class. The whole is under the manage ment of a Director, who acts as class-master to the first clas sical class. Each of the other four classes is under the super intendence of a Professor, and another Professor acts as Vice Director over the commercial school. The fourth and fifth commercial classes are looked upon in the light of a prepa ratory school; children of six and seven years old being re ceived there, and on being promoted from the fourth class, they advance into the fifth classical or third commercial class, accordingly as their friends intend them for trade, or for one of the learned professions. The average number of pupils at the school fluctuates between 360 and 400, making an average of about 36 or 40 for each class, but the fact is that the higher classes are much more numerous than the inferior ones. None of the acts of tyranny, so disgraceful at our own public schools, can here be exercised against the younger boys by their seniors, for no boy, under any pretence whatever, is allowed to enter any class-room but his own, and for any irregularity within the class the class-master is of course responsible. The class master is not, however, confined in his tuition to his own class, but may be appointed to give particular lessons in every class where the Director may think his services likely to prove most available. For instance, one professor may happen to be most eminent in mathematics, and his services may, therefore, be required in several classes besides his own ; another in natural philosophy, and so on. But at no time is there more than one master present at once, and while there he cccupies the undi vided attention of his class. A great saving of time is the consequence. In English public schools (at least it was so i n my school days), the boys are congregated together in large class rooms, where they sit witb books before them till they arc successively called up. This is a sad waste of time, as it is impossible for any master to say whether the boys are pro fftably employed while thus left to themselves,_ putt 4.. t. the THE TRAVELLER. CORN AVERAGES.
