EVENING EDIT' COURT OF SEWERS, WEST- MINSTER. Alajoricy ... -9 The CHAIRMAN then reported on the Marquis of N.;r manby's Drainage Bill, stating that the Bill had Luton divided into two Bills as the Court had suggested, so that the drainage was kept distinct from the regulations respecting buildings and ventilation. The Bids were then la'd oa the table for the information of the Commis sior•.ers. The CHAIRMAN gave notice that at the next meeting the Court would have to consider the propriety of issuing a precept to the Sheriff, calling upon him to summon a Jury to make a presentment of property liable to be rated in the western division of the district. The Court then proceeded to consider as to signing war rants for levying upon the churches and other newly rated property in the Eastern division of the Westminster Sewer:. The CHAIRMAN complained of the great inconvenience of leaving such questions as these open, and impressed upon the Court the necessity of coming to a decision on the question as speedily as possible. He briefly recapitu lated the history of the proceedings in relation to the rating of churches, and concluded by saying that if it were decided to issue those warrants, they must be drawn up in such a manner as to throw the protection of the Court around those who signed them. He for one could not, holding the opinions be did, sign a warrant against the church. Captain BAGCE thought it would be dangerous for the Commissioners to sign warrants against the churches at present; and therefore he should move " that the signing of warrants of distress against the churches be postisolsed until the decision of the two Courts of Exchequer and Queen's Bench be determined." Sir G. !''ARRANT could net see how the decision of the Court in the case of Clselsea Hospital could determine the question of the churches. He should therefore move as an amendment that warrants of distress be issued against the churchwardens of the church of St. Martin's-in-the fields. Mr. WIIITE seconded the amendment. He would sign the warrant, and he apprehended that, being a qualified Commissioner, he should run no risk from doing his duty. On the contrary, if he refused to carry out the law, he should run the risk of being struck off the Commission—a thing which he should dread much more than any ecclesiastical censure. He had no doubt as to the liability of the hurches ; and, without asking the protection of the C o ,irt in any way, he was perfectly ready to put his name to the warrant. Sir J. S. LILLIE thought the only way of bringing the matter to it decision, was by immediately issuing a warrant. Ha did not see how they could recede. They bad ad vanced boldly until they came within sight of the enemy, and now they were showing the white feather.—( Hear. ) The i r were all sworn not to show any favour, dread, er malice, and hens they were showing dread.—( A laugh.) They were to be guided by law and not by any m'an's opi nions. He supported the amendment. Mr. GUNTER had signed the last warrant, and hoped that those who had not already signed, would now come forward and sign this one. He thought there could be no difficulty in executing the warrants, and be hoped they would be signed to-d ay. If there were not enough to sign without him, ha would put his name to the warrant. The Court then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ll Against it 6 Maj rity for issuing the warrant —s Sir J. S. LILLIE moved that the warrant be prapared And laid before the Court on the next Court-day for signe tore in such form as the Solicitor might advise, The motion was agreed to. 'On the motion that a wErrant bo issued against Mr. Madge, or the trustees of the Unitarian Cnaiel is Essex street, _ Mr. SMITH, the Solicitor, said he cquld not take upon himself to say that a warrant signed in an alternative would be a valid one. Mr. LESLIE—Can you issue a legal warrant out of the presentment? Mr. should think not, Sir. The CHAIRMAN—Which would be the most safe, to it sue a warrant against Mr. Mudge alone, or to include the alternative of the trustees ? Mr. SMITH —The most safe course would be to follow the presentment. Warrants were then ordered to be issued for levying dis tresses on various chapels, schools, and other public buildings. The next business before the Court was to receive the Report of the solicitors of the circumstances conneoted with the else, and opinion given thereon by Sir Wil jam Horne and Sir John Campbell in 1833, as to the right of the Commissioners to distrain for arrears of rate. The Report stated that on a case beiig submitted to the Law Officers of the Crown in 1833, those officers gave wpm ate opinions, as one of them, Sir John Campbell, was in the country. The opinions differed, and the Commis sioners desired the solicitors to procure a joint opinion. They accordingly attended the Law Officers in consulta tion, and on that occasion Sir John Campbell retracted his former opinion, and the joint opinion was in favour of the powers of the Commissioners. The solicitors were not aware that either opinion had been laid before Parlia ment. Mr. LESLIE moved that the Report be printed and cir culated among the Commissi Captain Wove seconded the motion. Sir J. S. LILLIE could not support the motion until he kuew the object of it. Mr. GODERICH should like to see the affair cleared up. Mr. LESLIE said his object was to show that the opi nions had not been fairly represented to the Court, and that the first opinion of Sir John Campbell was the one he was acting on in regard to Chelsea flospi!al. That first (pinion had rever been iesereed in their book, why be could not tell, neither was it returned to Parliament ; but th e last opinion was attached to the case. That was in explicable. Sir J. S. LILLIE, after that explanation, would not op pose the motion, which was agreed to without a division. Mr. Users moved that the present system of collecting the Sewers rates Le taken into consideration. He ob jected to the present system of collection, and alluded to the recent defalcation as a proof cf its inefficiency. It would not do to dismiss the present collectors ; but, as the places became vacant, the remaining collectors might do their duty. They were now paid 83. in the pound. The collectors of St. George's, Hanover-square, were paid only 3d. in the pound. They had collected 51,0001. and paid it into the Bank. Every Court-day many persons came to the Court aid paid th e i r rates. Now he pro posed to make this a head office for th e collector, and to have a young man appointed to that situation who would not be liable to the casualties to which persons in trade like the present collectors were liable. He should thee_ fore propose that the present vacancy be not filled up in order to introduce a new and improved system. He would not wish to throw off or reduce the present collectors, but be would propose that vacancies as they eccurrzd should nut be filled up, so as gradually to introduce au improved kw'•ir, and he would move to that effect. o Mr. UNWIN objected to the proposed plan. The nn appointment of a new collector would inflict great injury upon the owners of small houses who would have to pay the rates to which the tenants were liable. Mr. GODERICH seconded ildr. Leslie's motion. It Was an exceediugly bad plan to employ tradesmen as collec tors, as it always led to de fileations. The poundage given by the Court was a great deal too much—they ought not to interfere with the ,present collectors, but they should take that opportunity of introducing a system for gradually reducing the expense of the collection. Mr. UNwIN moved as an amendment that the pre3eni vacancy be filled up. Mr. &nuex seconded the amendment. Mr. BROUGHTON thought that the question of defalca tion had nothing to do with difficulties in business, but was an abstract question of positive honesty, and, in that point, he did not see how the new plan was to be better than the old one. He thought it could not be done at the rate alluded to, for there was no analogy between the collection of Parisk-rates and Sewers-rates. If they looked at the work done, they paid less for the collection of Sewers rates than was paid for the collection (1 Parish-rates. They could not at er the s)stem in the way proposed, because, if the vacancies were not filled up, they would not have strength enough to do the work. Sir J. HANSLER supported the amendment. Mr. WILLOUGHBY, although approving of the system of collection, thought the method of app,A„ting the cot. lectors, and the mode of remunerating them, well worthy of consideration. He thought it advisable that the col lector should not have any other occupation. Sir J. S. LILLIE thought Mr. Leslie ou g h t to h ave stated in his notice what alteration be proposed. Mr. Grigg supported the amendment, on the ground that the old system had anseered extremely well. li e did not consider the commission allowed to the eol. lectors too high. There could he no large defalcation if the rule prohibiting a collector from retaining more than 501. in his hands bad boon acted on. Mr. BROUGHTON suggested th.t no security should be taken from the Collectors, hut that they should be put in the situation of servants of the Court, and then, in the event of any defalcation, they might be indicted for felony. Mr. HAWKE ! cons i dered the poundage much too hige, and would support the motion. He thought, however, that a new collector might be appointed on a less poundage. An adjourned meeting of the Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster, was yesterday held at the Office of the Commissioners, Greek street, Soho. J. L. Donaldson, Esq., in the Chair. After the or2iinary routine business had been transacted, The CLERK reported that the Comptroller-General's Office, and various other offices in Whitehall-yard, and also the various offices in the Horse-Guards, had been omitted from the Poor-rate, and that the overseers bad reported that those places had been omitted on account of the impossibility of enforcing the rate. He further re ported that those places had all hitherto been rated to the Sewers'-rate, and that the rate bad always been paid, and the Court ordered that they should continue on the pre sentment. On the question of the expense of the traverse, which came before the Court on the examination cf the Bill of Messrs. Smith, thr solicitors, The CHAIRMAN proposed that it should be borne by the whsle Mr. LESLIE objected to that course. The expenses of Mediy and Prich:rd had been thrown exclusiv,ly on the Western District, and now it was sought to thruw upon the Western District a portion of the law expenses of the traverse, which was exclusively the concern of the Itane lagh District. Mr. BARKER thought that as the question decided by the traverse jury affected every district, the exrnse ought to be borne by the districts generally. Mr. GOODRICH thought it was clear under the rules of the Court that the expense must be borne by the whole district. Mr. HAWEES objected to throwing the expense upon the whole district. It was a mere local matter, and ought to be borne exclusively by the district concerned. The Court then divided-- For throwing the expense on the general district 11 Against it 2 The Court then divided. For the amendment Against it Majority Friday, the 23d of April, was fixed for examining didates Sir JOHN HANSLER moved—" That, for the future, the Sheriff be directed to summon a Special Jury on all oc casions." On the last occasion there had arisen a discussion as to whether a guinea or a shilling should be paid to each Juryman, and as a guinea was paid he thought they were entitled to have guinea men. The motion not having been sec - inded fell to the ground, and the Court adjourned to the 16th of April next. CAPE HOUSES, SHEEP, AND WAGGON DRIVERS. In the course of my peregrinations I had seen many very indifferent specimens of horse-flesh, but never did I behold such an assemblage of carrion as were paraded next day before the Clarence to take us across to Cape Town, a distance of some three or four and-twenty miles. Literally not one sound limb could be mustered among the whole set ; they ap peared to have monopolised every feiling which accident, disease, or ill teatment so often entail on the noble animal. They were each and every one like friend Petruchio's steed, "troubled with the lanipas, infected with the fashions, full of vvindgalls, sped kith spavinp, ' Bse. ; and as we mcunted their galled backs, we despairA of ever arriving at the end of our journey, bssidea having some slight misgivings if, by the attempt, we should not bring ourselves under Mr. Martin's Ac'. However, we were assured that only appea-- ances were against them, and that once warm in the saddle they would prove very Bucephalt ; and the event justified this prediction. The first couple of miles along the smooth sandy beach gave them an opportunity of making their limbs much more degage; and by the time we had reached the Halfway House, wt:ere we each had a glass of capital ale, they bowled along alike " bricks" over the fine broad asd level road which would not have disgraced an English turnpike. Hitherto we had passed over an open heathy country, on which were grazing large flock; of sheep remarkable for the size of their tails, composed of enormous masses of fat; and th e s ki pper, being a bit of a wag, assured us that in the more fertile parts of the country, where this was increased by the greater richness of the pasture, it was no uncommon thing to see a large flock of sheep, each tackled to a wheelbarrow, being unable in any other manner ta carry their tails The waggons, their extraordinary-looking drivers, and the large teams of oxen employed to drag them along, likewise attracted our attention. They are complete am belitory towns, in which whole families, carry ing every requisite of " board and lodging," often make journeys of seven or eight hundred miles into the interior, the teams of oxen not unusually consisting of eight couple, two abreast. These are guided by the most peculiar-look ing charioteers that ever graced the Hippodrome, the Olympic games, or an English " four-in-hand." The most prominent feature in their costume is the symbol cf their swaying a whip which in dimensions beats every thing that the imagination can picture. Then comes the large conical bat, built of leaves like the thatched roof of an Indian cottage, which it almost rivals in dimensions. Last, though not least, arc the " crackers." But the reader w ould in vain rack his fancy to find out the meaning of this term, which does duty for what the ladies more delicately (dear sensitive creatures I) call " inezpressibles." The euphonous appellation I believe originated from the peculiar noise made by these articles until long wear and constant use had somewhat suppled the stiff bullock hides (1 which they are constructed, and which, if not " built" on the wearer, are so firmly fitted to his nether parts, that, day and night, in health and sickness ; in the toils of travel, during the repose of the conjugal couch, they are said to be his inseparable companions, aye even in death. never "falling off" from their "close attachment" until the hand of time and decay scatter their ragged t emains to the winds of Heaven.—Old Sporting Magazine, MARKET INTELLIGENCE; IRISH MARKETS.

On the morning of the day above mentioned a servant mart belonging to Mr. Walker, of Maryport, was sent to the Whirchaven Bank to draw the purchase money to pay for an estate which his master bad bought, amounting to 2,800/. It appears, however, that the sum of 2,0001. had been paid through the Bank, and the man received the sum of 800/, the whole of which wes in sovereign, carefully packed up in brown paper. This amount in sovereigns being depositel in the saddk bags, the man instantly mounted his horse, and set out on his return home to Maryport, and was seen on the road, proceeding at a rattling pace. The man, however, bad no sooner reached his master's, and had dismounted, than be discovered that many of the sove reigns were loose in the bags, which bad burst, and no less than 238 of them were missing 1 The messenger immediately began to retrace his journey back towards Workington, in search of the lost gold, and at the bridge-end, on coming out of Maryport, he found not less than seventeen of the sovereigns lying nearly altogether. Proceeding onwards he picked up several more near the same place, and a number of odd ones on the road. A man named Joseph Graham found forty-six of these sove reigns, and another man named Richard Gill found twenty. eight; these were gathered near Flirnby. As Mr. Walker's servant proceeded, he heard of a gang of vagrants who had been seen pushing each other, and scrambling for the golden treasure on various parts of the turnpike. These vagrants, consisting of an elderly matt, two young mot, two women, and two child, ern had picked up large quart. titles of the money, and were traced to various places, and on then were found the sum of 464 l ss. 61d., and no less than five watches 1 They argued stoutly that the money was their own ; but they were taken into custody, and then admitted that they had picked up the sovereigns on the road, and said that they had given them all up. There is still a considerable por tion of the money missing. The man who bad charge of the money is very deaf. We are not aware of the precise amount of the sovereigns yet missing ; but through the activity of the police officers, and the honesty of other in dividuals, Mr. Walker's loss is much less than could hive been calculated on under such extraordinary circumstances. Carlisle Journal. OXFORD, MONDAY EVENING.—The Tract agitation increases. Every nerve is strained by the party to repair the blow they have received, and to intimidate their opponents. Protes-or Sewell has published a postscript, disavowing his supposed objections to the Tracts, and as serting that the proclamation of the Hebdomadal Board is not entitled to be regarded as the act of the University. The party openly boasts that, had the matter been referred to Convocation, a majority would have supported the Tract objected to, and a declaration is now in the course of signature both in Oxford and among the non-resident clergy, expressing " a grateful acknowledgment of the eminent services of the Tractites in recalling public attention to the dis tinctive principles maintainer, by the Church of England 1" On the oth er h and, Mr. Wilson's (one of the fourtutors) reply to Mr. Newman has severely affected the credit of the leaders, and great disgust is also felt at the jesuitical attempt of the latter to implicate the Bishop of Oxford in the charge of having sanctioned the Tracts previous to the api iear awe of No. 90. Undoubtedly i n t r i gue h as been at work, and still is at work, to cajole and intimidate the Bishops, who are less active than the crisis demands ; but even the Primate is said to be at length impressed with the serious appearance of things, and is currently believed to have in-isteddimoung Maitland, hothuet L am beth librarian, Mr. aitland, withd raw i ng hi mself from the Anglo - Catho lic societ y , of which Drs.

He is well known on the other side of the water, having once followed the trade of a tanner. Yesterday Mrs, Worlioys had a letter sent to her by the prisoner, in which he states that his father is an Esquire, whom he formerly offended, and that he wanted the money to equip himself in order to pay a visit to his father ; and he concludes with saying that he will let her have the money in a short time. Kemp, an officer of the N division, has been in pursuit of the prisoner since the robbery. A reward of 501. is offered for his apprehension. At the Middlesex Sessions on Monday, Morley, I the notorious impostor, who feigns to be deaf and dumb, was sentenced to he imprisoned in th , House of Correc tion fi r twelve months, with hard labour, for having fraudulently obtained from tie Baroness de Rothschild a donation of 74.

( Continued from our First Edition. ) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said by analogy to what took place in the House of Lords on appeals, he had a perfect right to proceed with respect to the codicil. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read and comment upon the evidence given in the Court below respecting the hand writing of the testator to the codicil in question, and con tended that there was a vet y strong body of evidence of the most respectable k.nd ageinst the codicil either being written or signed by Mr. Wood. He also cited many cases in which it was laid down that the mere proof of handwriting would not be held as conclusive. Their Lordships would remember many cases in which even the clerks of the Bank who signed the notes had been deceived, even where their own names had been forged ; and that during the warpapers were plentiful which were so well counterfeited es to deceive the Custom-house officers all over the world. 'I he rule requiring some circumstances concomitant with the writing was a most wholesome one, and he hoped would not be departed from on that occasion. His learned friends supported the Codicil on the ground of the probability of some or all the bequests. The parties fabricating such a document would take care to have probability on their side, but let him ask was that the case here? There wa; a bequest of 200,0001. to the Corporation of Gloucester—that was dated in 1835, and it was in proof that at that time he was very angry, be cause he had always been passed over in respect of the office of Mayor to which he aTired. He apprehended that there was abundant evidence to destroy the probability of the va lidity of the evidence. Where an instrument was intended to be burnt, although it was not destroyed its operation was gone; and the parties would be in the same position as if it had never been brought forward. The Learned Counsel said that he should not occupy any more of the attention of the Court, be lieving that if he had omitted any important point his Learned Friends would not fail to supply the deficiency. Mr. PEMBERTON then proceeded to address the Court en the same side. The Learned Counsel commenced his address by reading extracts from the judgment delivered by Sir Her bert Jenner. He was then proceeding to read a document in some former proceeedings to which Mr. Hitchings was a par when Sir F. POLLOCK objected to the reading of the document for the purpose of influencing the decision of the Court. The Learned Judges overruled the objection. Mr. PEMBERTON resumed. The counsel for Mr. Hitch ings had not called in question in the least the fact of the sig nature to paper, A being the signature of the testator. Upon what ground then was that paper questioned ? Upon the ground that Mr. Chadborn, who wrote that paper was beneficially interested under it. If the signa ture were good ; if the competency were good ; if an undue influence were nowheic suggested; it mattered not one farthing who wrote it. It was only necessary to prove that the testator, when he signed the paper, was acquainted with its contents, and aware of their effect. The Learned Counsel then cited the ease of Barrett and Britlin, Ist v. of Curtis, p. 613. In this case there was the most conclusive testimony of the only fact necessary to be proved, intention to benefit ,sir. Chadborn. The Learned Judge had made the fact of Mr. Chadborn being an executor beneficially interested a ground for looking with suspicion upon the will. The question was, did B refer to A. He (Mr. Pemberton) contended that if there were no sig nature, no proof whatever—if it were sufficiently established that B referred to A, then A was as completely established as if B itself had been established by two witnesses. Upon this part of the case he must protest most strongly against the deci sion of the Learned Judge. It was in contradiction of the principle universally acted upon. The rule was that you must have a distinct reference to some paper or writing; you must have a paper already produced which tallied with that description, and then if there were no other paper or writing which also tallied with that description, the reference was sufficient. That was the principle acted upon in all the cases it had been cited by his Learned Friend the Attorney- General. Ihe Learned Counsel was proceeding to refer to the case of Wood and Wood, Ist Phillimore, 357, when it being Four o'Clock the Court adjourned the further hearing of the argu ment until to-morrow.

TUNSDAY. .Huline and Williams were placed at the bar this morning on the Jury entering the Court. Mr. Wlmuss then proceeded to address the Jury on behalf of the prisoners. He came now to the consideration of the case for the defence, and he could not conceal from him self, that he had an extremely arduous, complicated, and im portant duty to perform,—arduour, not so much on account of the facts which had been brought to bear against the prisoners or of any difficulty he felt in combating those facts and the arguments raised upon them.— but arduous on account of the consequences which pressed themselves painfully upon his mind, and on ac count of the immense length of evidence that he had to wade through, and the complicated facts he bad to unravel. Th,t Learned Counsel then, in an able speech, which occupied in its delivery about two hours and Wee quarterp, proceeded to analyse the testimony of each wit ness in succession, commencing with James Cooper, aiid termina ing with Mr. Babe, the surveyor. He examined the evidence of the three approvers with much closeness, and pointed out the several matters in which their accounts differed from each other, and strongly urged that the d ee d was committed, not by the prisoners, but by Davis and the two Hardwieks, The JUDGE then summed up in favour of the prisoners, and the Jury acquitted them. CHARGE OF RAPE AGAINST A SURGEON. Robert 'lector, surgeon, was then indicted for a rape upon the person of Ann Tbistlcton, on Sunday, the 28th of March. Mr. Murphy was for the prosecution, and Mr. Wilkins ror the defence. The evidence was totagy unfit for publication. The Jury found the prisoner guilty. The Court adjourned at e'ght o'clock.—The prisoner %lid be brought up for sentence this morning. SPIRIT of the t ÜBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING 'APER! OP THIS DAY. (From the Globe.) The rapidity with which Opposition has retraced its course on the Ed uca ti on question , i s as unexampled in . the hi s t ory o f parties as it must prove gratifying to the Government, ard satisfactory to all who desire to see the poorer classes of the community supplied with the means of intellectual and moral improvement.

The annual vote for educational purposes, which we hope to see gradually but hugely extended, will henceforth be re= inldd di danger s __ garded as an essential part of the national expenditure ; and though we expect and desire that the mode of its application shall be watched with careful jealousy, whoever may be the Ministers of the Crown, we trust that there will be one supreme effort by the Committee of Privy Council for Education, to render the plan truly effective for the benevolent and patriotic purposes of its original projectors. (From the Standard.) if we allude to the treasonable menaces of the O'Connell party in Ireland, it is not that we have the slightest expectation that these menaces will ever he realised. We are well aware that the persons who employ them contemplate nothing but the making of a little money. We regard the braggadocio as likely to prove mischievous only by lowering the character of the . United Kingdom among fo reigners, and thus, to the extent to which credit is given to it, in diminishing the force of the Conservative principle in every country. It is a cer tain truth that the traitors and Jacobins of Frasee, and of most of the European nations, have bsen taught to expect the signal of anarchy from Ire land ; and thus the common intcri.sts of eivilizzcion are concerned in showing that there is no chance of that signal being given, loudly as the O'C,,n ne'lites may swagger about it. We do not, bows ter, expect that anything n e say can shame the absurd blusterers into silence ; but w e are not without a hope that others may be shamed from giving any atten tion to them. It is quite manifest that the U'Conneilite party feel this ; otherwise the increased vio!ence and acrimony of their threats would be difficult to no. count for—as men who are in pursuit of an objet which they believe themselve s strong enough to acLiese, never magnify unneceisarily the difficulty of the enterprise, by challenging honourable pride, and a just resentment of insults, to enli,t among their opponents. The stron g ma❑ is very rarely an insolent bully the strong and prudent man never. We are willing to illustrate this truth by the example of England. The power of England is never spoken of at home but when she is threatened ; abroad one hears of little else but complaints of E gland's power from the ill-disposed—exultati on at it from tit friends of order throughout the world. Like the hero of the Italian narrati' e, her trophies are the subject of wondering observation everywhere but in her own house. Even the O'Cnnnellite claim to a share in building up the fabric of British power and renown, though rather extravagant in its amount (for setting what has been done against the empire. by rebellion and " the state bordering on civi war" ;n one scale, and the services of O'Connedite soldiers ttrid sailors in the other, it is doubtful which wid p►eponderate)-- even the O'Connell•te claim to a share in building up the power and renown of the empire is a confession that such exist to an extent in which it is desirable to par ticipate. Yet, powerful as England is, she threatens no one ; and even when she answers the ridiculous threats of others, it is as one slightly whips a trouble some dog out of the way with the hind design of saving the noisy animal from a more serious punishment by the heels of a tormented horse. successful on the present occasion, the principle of his motion would soon he adopted, for there was a general feeling in its favour throughout the country. Any one turn. lite their attention to the subjet t, would find there were two principles at work in Eir ope and America. In bee° cnum. tiet where educai , n had b etri entirely e there wee ag , ing tendency tewarde centraizati ti e autt ie those coo toes where that system had pe evaded, the current wag sitting in favour of a freer system. In England, teed America there was a remarkable tendency le. wards centralization, while in Holland, Prussia, anti France there was an earnest desire for more freedom. In his opinion, a system which was based upon both principles was the best. He could not adopt the Prussian system under which children were sent to school under the paternal control of a policeman ; he would like a system which would give encou ragement without interference—superintendence with out control. - The great point was to give the people a habitual respect for education. When they had attained that point their object would be accomplished. There was no necessity for any compulsory plan in Scotland—in that country, much to its honour, a love cf education detcented from father to son ; and in A net ice there Was a gre oer proportion of educated people than in any other coneery in the world : all that resulted from education be ing deeply seated in the miff ceions of the pe He could not consent te any system of Gov, en meet which did nut come constantly before the House ; there should be an animal stetemen,, like that ot the Cletticellor of the Exchequer delver by the Minister of Education in his p'ace in Parliament, and borne by the vets throughout the country, Whatever other question of reform there might be, that of educational reform was the greatest or all. Many others like himself had done their best for the reform of the criminal law, but trier always accompanied the Acts with the oeclaration that such reform was not sufficient, and thrt instead ot a horror of puni..hreent, they should give s horror of crime. Tlitre could be no greater or more ch.erieg pro:- pect than to see the bright , uturity, when those who "ere to come after us should be wiser and better titan ourselves. By pursuing the course which he prope'e I, ho etas convinced they ssould cut ivete net only the a'- ,tenement of intellect, but the great interests of religion itself, and batter thln by any other method " Assert eternal providence, And justify the ways of God teman."—( He ir, hear.) Mr. S. O'BRIEN supported the motion. It was ma nliest they must exert themselves much more than they had done if they wished to gain to the people of this country the blessings of a good education. Iu the tones ef the Council of Education, it apperie t that in Wales there were 85,000 children and schools for oily 3,303. It appeared also by a Report of Dr. Kay, that in 1827 there were 1,675 individuals in the workaoutee f Norfolk, of whom only 10 could read and write well. Be enether Report, it appeared that of 181 000 who averi! Rtarried, only 33 per cent, of 6e males, an/ 49 per cent. of the females could sign their names. By the Ropoet of the Inspectors of Prisons, it appeared that mine-third of the prisoners could not read. Taking i differ eel- abstracts lad before Parliament, he found that the whole number of children at school in the three kiegdoms receiving daily Instruction was 2,193,000; whereas. supptsing one-fifth of the population to be under instruction, the number would he five millions. From a statement of this comparative amount of education in different countries of the world. Eng land appeared to be the last on the scale. In the state of New York, there had been appropriated within the last two years one million to the purposes of education. The Legislature of this country, reluctantly granted the sum of 30,0001. With respect to the disposition of funds, he objected to entrusting them to private associations. The Committee of the Council in whose hands the Educational grant had been placed, were too much occupied to act with efficiency. The Hon. Member proposed to appoint a Minister who should make an annual statement with re spect to the condition and prospects of education in this country. He was extremely glad to heir the principle of maintaining schools by public assistance advocated by the leader of the Conservative party. There was thae fell from him the other night in the debate on the Poor laws, that was most gratifying to him (Mr. S. 013.), namely, that the poor ought to have their children edu cated at a small expense. He was sorry to leave tree passed on the attention of the House for so long a period, but he believed that the subject of .education was the most important that could be brought under re marksdiscus- sion, ici ih that ew, h ee a ru ( v i led o d c . n c e u t r i occurredd fautssoea source m u tr he o ei inosfi subject tethe gratificationa. t t e t e d n t t l o a n t to him to find that this was no subject of party, and he trusted that the time was come when each t , a tv would strive to be foremost in the pod work of giving to the people a sound and rational eounatien. The motion having been put from the Chair. Sir GEORGE GREY slid he would not enter at any length into the subject before the House, seeing that Ire could not do so with advantage in the present state of the benches of the House, arising no doubt from the late pe riod at which the motion was Drought forward, and la cause, as ho believed, there had been no general expectation that the subject would be brought under the consideration of the House.—( Hear, hear.) He felt bound to state that he had great objections to the motion of his Hon. Friend, founded not so much upon the proposal itself ae upon the difficulties which he foresaw would arise in carrying it i 'to operation, He agreed with his Hen. Friend that this was a most important subject. He agreed with him also in ties opinions he had expressed as to the cis ficiency of education which already existed in this country. He :,greed with him, also, that the remedy required was that of rasing t h e character and improving the education of those to ;hum -the instruction of the people was cittruired. But he must say he thought his Hon. Friend had overlooked what had been done within the last few years on this subject. Look ing at the difficulties--looking at the feeliegs which tied been excited by the discussions on the subject which had taken place in that House and out of it—he certainly feared that if the proposal of his Honourable Frtend was seriously taken up it would excite those feelings and that discussion which was now happily allayed. Nevertheless greet good had resulted from these discussions, and from the propositions that been sub mitted to the House with regard to national education.

The attntion of the Legislature will shortly be directed at an early period of the present session to the present system of the new Post-office scheme, which, in spite of every sort of trick, misrepre sentation, and subterfuge resorted to for swelling or falsifying the real returns of revenue from it, is generally understood to have disappointed miser ably all the pompous preten'ces of its projectors and all the sanguine anticipations of its popularity-hunting pa trons, the Ministry.

GREENWICH FAIR —The kcal Magistrates, acting under the authority of the Commissioners of Police, have issued the same orders as the last year, regarding the limitation of the time in which this fair is to be held, pursuant to the regulations of the New Police Act. The time for clos ing the several booths and tents is eleven o'clock at night, and none are to be opened before six o'clock in the morning, any in. fringement of those regulations being visited with severe penal ties, which, it is understood, will be strictly enforced. These restrictions, which were acted upon for the first time at last Easter, met with little opposition from the stall and booth keepers, and the town and neighbourhood were comparatively free from those annoyances to which they had been subject for several years past. the fair will, as usual, he held in the large field across the river Ravensbourne from Deptford, on the Greenwich side. The Directors of the Greenwich Rail road have issued notices for the running of an extra number of trains during the Easter holidays, and several additional steam-boats will be placed on. A vessel employed to keep up the communica tion across the Danube, while the Pontoon-bridge is under repair, struck, on the night of the 19th ult., against one of the pontoons and was upset. There were thirty passengers on board, nearly all of whom perished. AIM IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

RI RIPP ON and BURTON, Wells-streat, Oxford -0 Established 11120. Gentleman was one of the most extraordinary he had ever heard. When the Committee should have reported, they would have the same difficulties to contend with as if the motion had been far an address in the first instance. Thee had nn power whatever eathedrals. Ile did not think that, much improv-o.eit wuull t.k in worlav of art, from the study of the monual .nzs in Wostinit.ster Ab bey. S6me of the nest of -them were not fit ed for a place of religions worship. and if they were to be removed, h - terevcr objectionable such a proposition might be, it would at least remove an 'appa rent incongruity. The fees hal been reduced by a volun tary sacrifice, on the part of the Dean and Chapter, of 1.400/. Tbe alme power that opened Westminster Abbey could open every parish church is England. It being an understanding that the Commitb e was to be granted, he was unwilling to dvtail the House; hut he wished to c all the attention of the Government to the retent danger to which the Cartoons had been exposed. He did not wish to remove the Cartoons, but he trust -d .hat some of the Ministers would be able to 'satiif , the 1 - I..tuse that those immortal works were not again likely to be exposed to a similar risk to the one from which they hid been s.c3 hap pily rescu: d. Lord MO a PET H said the. the Cbiof Commissioner of the Woods and Forests had b, en to Hampt©n Court yes terday, and he trusted that the measures adop-ed would be sufficient to prevent the chance of such a deplorable Ca lamity happening an that to which the lion. Baronet had DESTRUCTION OF THE CAROLINE. Lord PALMERSTON trusted that his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume) wind 1 not press the motion, of which he bud given notiee . for that evening, for the production of papers relative to our relations with America. If the House would permit him to express an opinion upon the subject, he would say that ho did not consithr it expedient Vint the pap, rs should b produced at present.—( Hear.) Negotiationa were going on at present on the subject. ale he could asswe the House that there was the most anxious desire Manifested by both Governments to bring the matt,ir to an amicable and satisfactory termination.— (Loud cheers.) An exceedingly strong feeling on the subject, however, esisred both in this country and on the other side of the Aria =tic, and while the negotiations vta•re going on between the two Governments, any debate on the subject would he! likely to dereat the very object the H in. Gentleman had in view. He trusted, therefore, he would consent to postpone his motion until after the rec , ss.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUME had certainly intended to bring forward his motion that evening. He was against all war, but. war between thia country and the Uioted Stet , s he looked upon as perfectly urinreiral —( Cheers.) After having heard the statement of the Noble Lord. he could have no objection to postpon e: his motion until after the recess.

GORDON brought up the Report on the In demnity Bal. The House, at Half-past Seven o'Clock, adjourned to Tuesday the 20th inst. FACTS FOR WORKING MEN. • Heavily as the man with 4/. a week is burdened with the Food Taxes, they are as nothing at all, in proportion to his income, compared with what is wrung from the hard toiling man who receives only IL a week. Supposing him to be married, aid that he has three children, the average number in a family, his weekly expenditure for food will be at least three-fourths of his income, whit& that of the man w'm has 2001. a year is not much more than otie-fouith of tnat sum. In the ealculati.ms we made last week, we showed that the man who lives on 2001. a year pays about 201. to the Food Monopolists, which is only one-tenth of his whole income. In the statement we are about to make, it will be sr en that his poor neighbour, who is ill able to bear any taxation at all, is forced to pay one-fourth of hi, in. cot, c to the Food Monopolists. From certain inqtdries we have mace, we ascertain that a man with a wile and three children, who earns 20s. a week, will expend three.fourths of it in something like the following manner:--- Flour, 2 dozen lb. a t 2 s. 3 d 4 d. 6 °atm, al, 18 k b 2 3 Potatoes, 2 sc ore lb . at 10 3 . Milk, cane quart pe r d a y Butter, lib. at 10d 1 2 Sugar, 11b 0 9 Cuffei, Boz 1 2 Bacon, 3lb at 7d 1 9 15 1 In many instances more butcher's meat will be consumed and less bread stuffs, but in that case the sum total ex pended on food will be about the same. Here, then, is 15s. Id. a week, or 39/. 143. 2d. a year, expended upon food. Now, a: the price of every ar ticle we have named is enhineed at lerA one-third by the ' Food Taxes, this poor man must pay 13/. 2s. Bd. a year out of his 521., while his more fortunate and more comfortable neighbour pays only 20/. out of his 2001. a-year. And yet, with such obvious facts as these, which must stare every working man of common sense in the face, bt every meal to which be and his family may sit down, the agents of the landowners have the assurance to assert, that the maintenance of the Food Monopoly is " a Labourers' Question !" More wonderful still is the melan choly fact, that there are thousands of working men whom that very monopoly has brought to the verge of starvation, and who, notwithstanding, are found at every public meet. ink. on the subjct, fighting the battle of the landowners. Verily, a more signal instance of that infatuation which is the forerunner of sw ft destruction, has seldom been wit nessed in this or in any other country. —Bolton Free Press. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TRIESTE, MARCH 23. -According to recent accounts fr im Athens, an article has been published in the i•fficial journal, the Courier, which eau-es a great sensation, and has increased the general excitement which it scented designed to allay. In the article it is declared " that the King, on appointing Mavro cordato to the post of President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs, did not intend to give his power, or any part of it, into the hands of the Minister President, but that Mavrocordato should he Minister in the same manner as all his predecessois had been. The English party. a. it is called, are particularly indignant at this declara tion. Measures were immediately taken by it to open a sub scription for the purpos e of securing to tlavrocorrlaio a pension for !Le, that he may riot be obliged to submit to whatever con ditions are proposed to him, bus be able to act independently. The Fret,ch Minister Resident, who has hitherto been much irritated, is said, on the other hand, to be veil pleased with toe cicala. ation.
