EVENING SUN TURKEY. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, N0v.23. Egypt has been unusually dull in politics, and every. thing else, for the last six weeks. Surmises have been made by some as to probable changes and new introduc tions in the government of the country ; hopes were en tertsCthed by others that' free trade would be shortly in troduced, and consequently a great impulse given to commerce ; but all has been going on in the usual way, the old routine of business has been adhered to, and, if any change should take place, it will probably not be be fure many months have elapsed. The Ramazan is over, and the festival of the Bairam began on the 16th instant. Said Pacha, in the absence of his father, held the usual levee at the citadel of Cairo, and all the officers of the State paid him their respects in the Nizam dress; and not in the Turkish uniform, as had been confidently foretold by many. Mehemet Ali is still in the upper country, where he is superintending the gathering and the despatching to Alexandria of the crops of the year, and the sowing of seed for the next sea son.. Ibrahim Pacha is in the Delta for the same pur pose, and Said Pacha is at C a iro, enj o yi ng himself quietly, studying languages, &c. Bogh;.)s Bey some time ago issued a notice that, for the encouragement of trade, any person might build boats on the Mahmoudieh canal or on the Nile, under the following conditions. viz:- 1. That the captain and crew of the boats should be all Egyptian. 2. That the flag carried by the boats should be that of the country, and that they should pay the established tonnage duty. The Oriental having brought advices from Europe of the advance in prices of grain and pulse, Boghos Bey has suspended all sales of co:nestibles for the present, and, it is supposed he will not sell i' . 4.produce until the rise has been confirmed, and that t he will demand higher rates. In the absence of the Paella, his Excellency has it all his own way, and makes and suspends sales at pleasure. OF SYRIA . SYRIA FRONTIERS TioN 0 , ,, ,.. 05 . 7BETRouT.—CESSA- H.M.S. HECATE, NOV. 27 I l L h i !U S. ]eft l i sten to write a few lines, to inform you that we . . eYroit on Saturday even i n g last, the 2oth instant, bearing dispatches from Colonel Itose,.Btc., the senior navalilig the Syrian afiiiirs. For the p ast imo ?thcer, respecting been nth iau e ,„ o l i i ti g dread_ of our departure, the Dr uses have, up the time fal havoc amongst the Christians, all directions, and burning a great 6 ten" them in pZiaachele,e,butnd intended villages to the south of Be~•rout, n umber of their their ravages as far north as :Yextended cileighbo.ur making a descent upon that e its, and, indeed 04h troops had taken up a position in the til Turk hood, and their presence no doubt saved Art present there is a cessation of hostilities is , 1 1 3 •Rdeed, it is to be hoped that this nefarious warfare the mostrs to a close, as the Druses were re!urning to their houses. The town of Beyrout is swarming with mountains:. who have taken refuge, and more . especially . o f peaceful portion of the community, consisting of the aged and women and children. We left the Thunderer in St. George's Bay, as also an Austrian corvette and a French corvette. The Scout was on the coast to the south. We have encountered very heavy weather for some days past, wind right a-head, the fuel was all consumed, and we were obliged to have recourse to all the wood that could be rummaged out in the ship. MALTA. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 28. We have no other m o ve men t t o no ti ce than the arrival late on Friday evening of the Iberia, contract steamer,_ with the mails from the loni an I s l an d s an d G reec e, after an unusually long passage from Corfu of four days and some hours, having encountered tremendously boisterous weather and strong head winds ; indeed she had but a few hours' supply of coals left when she reached our har bour. We are much gratified in being able to announce that her Majesty's brig Weazle, touching whose safety some fears were entertained, as she was supposed to have long since left Corfu for Malta, and indeed had the Iberia not broUght intelligence of her being safe at/.ante, the Medea was under orders to go in earcli of tidings of her. It appears she had sprung a leak, and the Medea will leave early this morning for Zante to convey caulk ers-to put her to rights. The Medea will perhaps con tinue on the lonian Islands station, the Vernon having ended from Corfu for Malta on the 21st instant, though ft was repotted at Corfu that the Magicienne would be her relief. ller Majesty's steam-packet Alecto arrived from Gi braltar yesterday morei ew eith the London mails of the 15th inst., announcing the glad tidings of her Majesty's h av i ng given birth to a Prince of Wales. The Alecto did not, either on her voyage to or from Gibraltar, fall in with either of the four ships of the line or the Acheron, which have lately left this for the west ward. She left on the 22d instant the Implacable, Has hangs, and Lizard lying at Gibraltar. The Oriental arrived from _Alexandria at two o'clock this morning, bringing the India mail, That portion of the mail which is intended for the overland route will be despatched to Marseilles at t hree -o'clock to-day by the Polyphemus steamer, which will convey thither Cap tain Williams, of the Stromb o li , whose charges against Mr. Erton, midshipman of the C am b ridge, arising out of inferior, and the comparatively high price obtained for it is attributable to the gambling transactions of the native speculators. Good qualities may now be quoted at 745r5. to 725r5. per chest. 1,280 chests have just been shipped per Sir 11. Compton. FREIGHTS have not varied much during the month, and may be quoted as under :—To London, 3/. 10s. ; Liverpool, 3L 15s. ; China, 16rs. to Macao. There is no available tonnage for the Clyde. THE MONEY MARKET. There appears to have been no alteration whatever in the prices of Government paper, and we therefore again quote the rates of last month, viz. :- 5 per Cents. Transfer Loan, 10Srs. to 109 rs. 2d 5 per Cents. Loan, par to 4 per cent. premium. 4 per Cents. Loan, 89rs. EXCHANGE ON LONDON has risen slightly since our last, and the rate of six months' bills may nob be quoted at 4s. Old. to sell, and 2s. 00. to buy. The average of remittance may be considered about 2s. ; 30 days' sight bills are at ls. 1 lid. CALCUTTA AND MADRAS.--Exchange has further de clined. The rates are at present 99rs. for bills on Cal cutta at 30 days, and 10Ors. to 100-Ars. for bills on Madras. CHINA.-210rs. to 212 rs. per 100 dollars appears to be the rate of exchange on China. BANK SHARES.—Shares in the Bombay Bank remain at 24 per cent. prem. PRICE of BUl.LioN.—Sovereigns, each lOirs. to lOrs. 15as ; Bank of England notes, lOrs. to 104 rs. per .C. Our accounts from Constantinople come down to the 17th ult. The preceding week had been entirely occupied with the religious ceremonies performed at the close of the Ramazan, and the solemnities of the Bairam. The ceremony of the Kadirghedjessi, which pre cedes the latter by four days, was celebrated with the usual pomp in the Mosque of Topkhane, during the night of the 11th. Pious Mussulmans believe that it is on that holy night the Prophet reveals to the angels, charged with their execution, the decrees of Providence Ibr the ensuing year. The Sultan repaired thither by water, in great state, escorted by the whole Court and a number of the principal functionaries of the various ad. ministrations. On his landing he was saluted by rounds of artillery, and fireworks illumined the march of the cortege to the mosque. During the prayers the square of Topkhane, in which an immense crowd had assembled, was also lighted in the same brilliant manner. On his departure from the mosque the Sultan was conveyed back with the same ceremonial. The weather was extremely favourable, and no accident occurred, although an im mense concourse of people encumbered the square of Topkhane and the adjoining streets. On the 12th the Sultan attended prayer in the Mosque of Yeni-Djami, and on the 14th ult. at two o'clock in the afternoon, and towards sunset, the land batteries and the ships in the arsenal announced the opening on the following day of the feasts of the Bairam, which were celebrated with the usual solemnity. The three days devoted to them were spent in the customary visits of ceremony, and all business was consequently suspended. The affairs of Greece continued to perplex the Divan, and two three-deckers and eight frigates, then ready for sea, were believed to be intended to make a demonstra tion on the coast of that country. -The Tahiri Bahri strainer sailed on the 15th for Candia, with 800 men on board. The Count de Pontois embarked at Constantinople on the - 13th instant on board of the French steamer Veloce, direct for Toulon, according to the Impartial, whilst L'Echo de L' Orient states he would perform his quaran tine at Malta, but, not having made his appearance, the former is most probably correct. The French Government steamer Acheron, which ar rived at Smyrna on the 18th instant from Beyrout, brought intelligence from thence of the 15th that the situation of affairs in Syria remained the same, and that the hostilities between the Druses and Maronites still continued, and were in favour of the former. The Porte has sent an officer to Syria for the purpose of endeavouring to put an end to this religious war be tween the two sects. The Daphne and Beacon arrived at Smyrna on the 16th instant, the former from Vourla. The Austrian frigate Venere, bearing the flag of Ad miral Bandeira, sailed on the 16th instant from Smyrna, for Constantinople, where she will undergo repair in the arsenal. The Nile, Egyptian steamer, was to leave Constanti nople for Alexandria on the 18th or 19th instant. Very boisterous weather had prevailed in the Bos phorus, no less than five vessels had gone on shore in the Dardanelles, one of them an lonian braceira, Madonna di Agrili (the Captain and crew having been suspected of making away with part of her cargo, had been put into prison), was totally lost at the entrance of the Straits, and but very little expected to be recovered from her. The Austrian vessel Marianizza, Captain Tuppar, from Malta, laden with stones and other goods, bound to Constantinople, went on shore at Barber's Point, but owing to the ski]- hiltless of the Captain, and throwing all the stones over board, she got off again, and had arrived at Constanti nwle. Then followed an English brig (name not stated), but she got off during the night. After this the Helen, of Liverpool, laden with a cargo of bale goods, which hove broadside on the beach, where she remained for 36 hours bumping away, and the sea washing clear over her; but, notwithstanding, she had not made any water, she woqld have to discharge her entire cargo before she could get afloat again. Lastly, the English schooner Admiral Nelson, laden with oil from Leghorn, went on shore in die bay of the Dardanelles, but she got off again by assistance from the Consulate.

Sir George Fitzgerald Hill, Bart., v. Thomas Bigge and Edmond Waller Rundell. Mr. Erle, Queen's Counsel, and Mr. Merivale, were heard for the respondents.

OXFORD, DEC. 4.—The Professor of Political Eco nomy has signified his intention to deliver some supple mentary lectures on colonization on Monday next and four following days, at the Clarendon, at two o'clock. The following gentlemen have been elected scholars of Jesus College :—L. C. Wood, J. Morgan, and R. P. Williams, all of the same College. Messrs. E. K. Kars lake, of Christ Church, and R. R. W. Lingen, of Trinity College, have been elected fellows of Balliol College. The election of a fellow on the Michel foundathin of Queen's College will be holden on Thursday next. There were forty-eight candidates for University ho nours at the public examination just concluded ; of which four are placed in the first class, seventeen in the second, nine in the third, and nineteen in tho fourth. A few appear in the latter, who, tho ug h th ey were not candi dates, yet were judged to merit that distinction, and a few were unsuccessful. Lord Crewe's trustees have appointed the Rev. W. Darnell, of CorpuS Christi College, to the perpetual curacy of Bamburgh, Northumberland. The Lord Bishop of Salisbury has instituted the Rev. E. Prodgers, of Trinity College, to the rectory of Upton Lovell, Wiltshire, on the presentation of the Lord Chan cellor. The Lord Bishop of Worcester has licensed the Rev. H. R. Surtees, of St. Mary Hall, to the curacy of Henley in -Arden, Warwickshire. The Rev. H. M. Barlow, of Wadham College, has been licensed to Christ Church, in the parish of St. Clement, Norwich, FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS, DEC. 2.—Yesterday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a fire broke out in the British Queen steamer, lying in the. Little Basin at Antwerp, which was happily extinguished without having done any damage of consequence. THE HAGUE, DEC. I.—Baron Van Kessel, Member of the Council of State, died here yesterday, after a long sickness, in the 74th year of his age. He was a highly distinguished Statesman, and filled many important offices in the time as well of the Empire under Napoleon as under the King of the Netherlands, both before and since the separation of Holland and Belgium. He is the author of numerous and most esteemed works. AMSTERDAM, DEC. I.—Aderording to our private let ters from Batavia, of the month of June, accounts had been received from the Moluccas of a famine in the south western islands, in which many persons had perished. In the island of Kesser alone 237 persons had died. The Government at Batavia had immediately taken measures to send rice to the people. The English ship Miranda, Captain Heryen, was wrecked on the 25th of May, near the island of RecaS, below Sumanap, and abandoned, in a sinking state by the crew, who reached Soerabaya in the boats. It was feared that the vessels sent by the Sultan of Sumanap to save the cargo would not succeed, as the ship probably went to pieces soon after it was abandoned. BATAVIA, July 25.—Last month the water in the high mountains cf the Freanger Regency was frozen. The oldest people cannot remember that such a thing ever happened in Java before ; and at Tjanjer (near which the ice was found) nobody ever saw water converted into a hard substance, and those who saw it hanging to the sides of the rocks fancied it was glass. ST. PETERSBURGH, NOV. 22. On Saturday last his Excellency Lord Stuart de Rothsay, lately appointed Ambassador to Her Britannic Majesty at this Court, had the honour to deliver his credentials in a private audi ence to the Emperor.—Journal de St Petersburgh,Nov. 23. BUTCH FUNDS.—AIIisuRDAm, Dee. 3. a note written by the latter to the former, having been de clared proved before the Court-Martial held on Thud _day last, on board her Majesty's ship Monarch, and of which Rear-Admiral Sir John Louis sat as President, the youthful officer was sentenced to be dismissed from her Majesty's naval service, and to suffer an imprison ment besides of six months, to reckon front Ars arrival in Englanar. The Circassian yacht, Captain W. Lyon, from Malaga to Gibraltar, has arrived bringing Viscount Cas tlereagh. PROXOTION.—Mr. Rushbrooke, Mate of the Monarch, to the rank of Lieutenant, and appointed to the Calcutta. The Hecate arrived yesterday with despatches from Beyrout of the 20th instant, bringing intelligence that the sanguinary warfare between the Druses and Maro nites still continued. Syria generally is in a very un settled state, and trade at an end. The French steam-packet from Marseilles of the 21st instant, chic yesterday, has not yet arrived. The Medea steam-frigate left this morning with the London mails of the 15th instant, brought by the Alecto, fer the lonian Islands and Greece. SHIPS IN PORT.—The Howe, 120, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Mason, K.C.8.; Ceylon, '5, bearing the flag of R ear -Ad m i ra l Si r John Louis, Bart.; Impregnable, 104, Monarch, 84, Ganges, 84, Vanguard, 80, Cambridge, 78, Savage, 10 ; steam-frigate Medea ; steam-packets Prometheus and Polyphemus ; steam tender Locust, Peninsula and Oriental Company's steamer Iberia, French steam-packet Minos, and Leonidas. SOU TEI AMERICA. , FALMOUTH, DEC. 4.—ln addition to the information conveyed in our communication of last evening, we are now enabled to furnish you with a list of the Ministry summoned by General Santa Anna, in his capacity as Provisional President, on the abdication of Bustamcnte, viz. :—Don Manuel Gomez Pedrasa, for Home and Fo reign Affairs ; Don Francisco Garcia, for the Trea sury ; Don Jose M. Pernel, for the War Depart ment ; Don Crispiniano del Castello, for Public Instruc tion and Industry. Although this change was quite new, and the position of the Government thought to be a difficult one, still it was expected some good results would arise from the new order of things, and more especially so to commerce ; indeed hopes of a revival of trade were fully indulged in. The consumo duty, which in the course of the political pro ceeding was reduced to the old scale, would, it was gene rally believed, likely remain so. The weather still continues most tempestuous and un settled. During agale, however, this morning, the (Great) Liverpool steamer, for Malta and Alexandria, took her de parture; and the Alert packet, for the West Indies, made preparations to follow, but afterwards furled topsails, seeing no probability of doing any good by putting to sea. The ship Orient, of Belfast, Taylor, master, from Madras, ith a cargo consisting of cotton, sugar, indigo, tea, &c., , and bound to London, ran into port during last night in great di s t ress , with eight to ten feet water in the hold, having been struck by a sea on the 29th ult., in a heavy gale of wind, and which shook the vessel consi derably. Had she remained out twelve hours longer, it is more than probable she would have foundered, as the crew could not gain on the water, and were nearly ex hausted on arrival. Prompt and effectual assistance was afforded from the shore, and it is intended to land the cargo forthwith. PORTUGAL. Faixouru, DEC. 3.—The steamer Tagus arrived this afternoon, and after landing the Peninsular mails, pro- ceeded in the evening for Southampton. Passengers :—Mr. and Mrs. Rees and family, Captain Shirley, Major and Mrs. Roche and family, Madame Lample, Messrs. Hewitson, Meinetzhazen, Sehoenkopfl, Robondo, Jones, Vanzeiler, and Waghorn. Also arrived the packet Pigeon, from the Brazils ; nothing new at Rio de Janeiro, whence she sailed on the 21st October. The exchange keeps high, being at 31f On freight 10,0001., of which about 7,0001. is on account of the Imperial Brazilian Mining Association. I LISBOX, Nov. 29.—The Government having been au thorised to raise 500 contos in cash towards meeting the deficit, and also to capitalize a portion of the arrears, is en deavouring to carry the same into effect by a common operation, in which hitherto it has not been very success ful. The holders of the Government paper for arrears of salary due to the persons in its employ, officers of the army, &c., are offered 4 per cent. per annum, and those who hold the paper given for pensions, &c., to persons not in active employ, 3 per cent. The Government is limited as to the amount, and can only at the utmost capitalize 500 contos of the former, and 2,000 of the latter ; the object is to induce the parties capitalizing to advance money to the Government. In consequence, however, of the 10 per cent. tax on the dividends, and the somewhat unsettled state of things, the funds here are lower than they were, which of course acts unfa vourably for Senhor Avila's operation. The Five per Cents, are quoted at 49 to 50, but I hear that sales have been effected at lower rates. The Government will have difficulty, therefore, in raising money at 10 per cent., unless a reaction akes place. The numerous commercial failures and depressed state of credit gene rally, necessarily augment the difficulties of the present Government, which, however, I trust and believe, will be eventually overcome, if the peace of the country be only preserved. A numerous and powerful association, of which the Duke of Pahnella is the head, has been formed for the purpose of devising ways and means for making roads on a large scale. They calculate that 600 leagues of road will be required, which would cost on the average, 8 contos (2,0001.) a league, and, with the bridges, &c., the whole would not cost less than 6,000 contos, or near a million and a half sterling. The idea, I believe, is to recommend the imposition of an additional property tax, to the amount of from 25 to 50 per cent. on the present decima, which would guarantee the interest on The money expended on this great undertaking ; while the landed proprietors, farmers, &c., upon whom the tax would fall, would, no doubt, be amply reimbursed by the advan tages of being able to send their produce to market, from which they are now quite debarred ; and a great deal would be exported from Portugal which is now nearly va lueless, from the same want or communication. The ad vantages to the country will be immense if the land lords and farmers will only submit to be taxed for it. I forgot to mention that aportaria was issued from the Foreign-office, ordering that Pascoal Plume, the Consul for Tuscany at the Havannah, shall no longer be allowed to give Portuguese papers to vessels there. He formerly acted as Portuguse Consul, until that office was abolished ; since then he has continued to sign papers, and has no toriously encouraged the slave-trade to an enormous extent. An attempt was made on Monday night, by the pri soners in the gaol called the Cova de Moura, to break out of their prison. There are 600 or 700 desperadoes there, all sentenced to transportation, but allowed to re main for years in prison ; they broke open some doors, but were soon put down. Most exaggerated reports were spread about here. There was no one either killed or wounded. is Baron_al Marechal, the Austrian Minister at this Court, Nuncio, Mon se i daily expected here. There is a report that the Pope's their way from Malta for L r Capuccini, has • d. and o Indus, line . arrive The Revengegms,islibnoen.of TbahtetleLyshnixps,scahroeonoenr of war h as arrived from ylymouth.

It is blowing agale to- - SONNET, TO THE MEMORY OF THE LAMENTED DR. BIRKBECK. The grave hath claimed its own ;—its rightful earth, Mortality hath lain it down to sleep. Affection for the noble dead may weep, And the heart's tears fall o'er the tomb of worth ; 1 Yet from the grave shall spring to second birth That fame, so calm, enduring, whose mild ray Grew not up from the strife of sworded day ; Nor came the halo of its radiant girth From scenes of blood, and tears, and woe, but where The trammelled sons of toil stood from the crowd apart Gath'ring, e'en at his call, to learn the art Of s sdom, self-respect, and freedom, there, In purity, sprung up that holy fame That to all time shall wreathe the gentle Birkbeck'sname. IL B. GREENWICH POLICE.—On Friday Mr. Jeremy said he felt much pleasure in stating that another half sovereign had been forwarded to him for the benefit of the girl Eliza Lovelace, by a gentleman who had read the report of her destitute ease in the newspapers, Rumours, DEC. 3.—The Pigeon packet, Lieutenant T. James commander, direct from Rio de Janeiro, whence she sailed on the 21st of October. Only one passenger (a lady, who died on the voyage). From 15,000/7to 20,0001. in treasure on freight. The intelligence by this arrival is very immaterial. Her Majesty's ship Dublin arrived at Rio on the 13th of October, from England, and sailed again on the 20th, for the Pacific. Admiral King left for the Cape, in the Southampton frigate, on the 17th preceding. The Rio Grande emeute remained in statu quo. The tax for granting means to the Go vernment to meet their financial deficit had not yet passed the Senate, and both Chambers wo u ld sit a month longer to bring the important measures of the Session to a termination. Exchange, 32i ; Stock, 74%. Eleven, P.M.—Also arrived, late this evening, . the Express packet, Lieut. Herrick, from Mexico. Her dates are, Tampico 7th of October, Vera Cruz 24th fol lowing, and Havannah the 7th ult. On freight about 114,000 dollars only. The news brought by this vessel, although her passage is short, has been in effect nearly all anticipated by the recent steam arrival at Liverpool from Boston and Halifax, and the lateness of the hour prevents our saying more this evening than that Santa Anna was in full possession of power and authority, and Bustameate deposed. Great stagnation of business pre vailed throughout the Republic, and the prospects are gloomy as to a revival, for want of public confidence. The (Great) Liverpool steamer, with the Alexandrian mails,:and the Alert packet, with the West Indian mails, have been prevented from proceeding on their respective voyages in consequence of the extreme severity of the weather, and remain. Among 'arrivals to-day the fol lowing : Dutch galliot Eendragh, Lemmin, from Am sterdam for Genoa, out 37 days, leaky and damaged ; Ironside (iron brig), Brown , from Newcastle f or St. Thomas's - Audax (clipper), White, from Londo n f or St. Michael's ; Jordeson, Jordeson, from London for Odessa, out 24 days ; Chase, Powell, from Liverpool for j Alexandria • also Sir Hyde P ar k er i n hi s yac h t from Cowes for Gibraltar. -.HE JOURNALS AND LRTTERS OF THE AtrrHoß or "EvELINA."—The announcement of the above publication, as may be imagined, has excited no slight degree of attention and curiosity.

When we call to mind that the person who formed this resolution, and adhered to it during the whole of her long life, was one of the most remarkable and justly celebrated women, not merely of her own, but of any tune or country—that her family position, no less than her celebrity, commanded for her an intimate in tercourse with all that was illustrious in English litera ture and art during their most illustrious era, and that the results of such resolution are now to be given to the world precisely as they left the hand of their writer (the omissions required by personal and family considerations being alone excepted), the curiosity and interest such an announcement must excite, will scarcely be increased by anything that could he added descriptive of the work.

READY. has pocketed the 360,0001. of which several parties have been defrauded ? If not Mr. SMITH, who is this gigantic spoiler of the public ? Who could have influence enough over him to induce him to forge Exchequer bills to such an enor mous amount, from which he derived no benefit? Mr. SMITH thus described the mysterious indi viduals : • "Pecuniary difficulty, arising from misplaced confi dence, and liabilities of a very limited extent,.nOt exceed ing a few hundred pounds, although beyond my means to meet, first exposed me to the suggestions of those who tempted me to obtain a temporary relief by the fraudulent fabrication of Exchequer bills, to be pledged fir a short time, and then to be redeemed and cancelled for ever. I yielded to the temptation, but without obtaining the pro mised relief; and, once committed, I became in the power of the tempter, and my retreat has been prevented.' It was not his own thought, therefore, familiar as he must have been with Exchequer bills, that tempted him; it was other persons, and they must have known of the possibility, known even of the feasibility, of forging Exchequer bills, and perhaps knew that the thing had before been successfully done. The dark and mys terious inquiry in secret at the Home-office, the commitment of Mr. SMITH on a lame confession, and his present declaration that he was tempted by others, who must have known the whole mode of managing the issue of Exchequer bills, and never derived any advantage from putting into circulation forged paper to such an enormous amount, involve the subject in inscrutable mys tery, and give a solid ground for the very worst suspicions. We cannot understand Mr. SMITH'S assumed motives for remaining here, founded, as he says, on a notion • of honour, while a halter was, as it were, round his neck, when he might have fled from the country, in order to give a full explana tion when the detection should take place. During the long period of my distress, therefore (he says), although I was nearly overcome by it, yet I was induced to continue the commission of my offences to avoid im mediate disgrace, and forbore making a full disclosure of my previous criminal conduct, which I had often desired to do. I therefore always resolved, that whenever the time of discovery should come, that I would remain and instantly avow myself as the solely guilty official person, and make the best reparation in my power, by prevent ing unnecessary alarm and agitation to the public. I de termined that I would bear the whole consequences of my guilt, and not permit the innocent and honourable persons in the office, whether high or low, to be subjected, to unjust suspicion." Who can believe that statement? We do not. Mr. SMITH never expected detection. He lived on in complete security, and those who beguiled him promised him to the last perfect safety and impunity. No man sins so egregiously certain that he will be detected and exposed; and Mr. SMITH, the instant the hope of impunity had left.him, would, we believe, have fled had he not instantly fallen into the gripe of the law. That statement is meant to conceal the real motive of Mr. SMITH'S conduct, which appears to us to be a wish to sacrifice himself and take on himself the whole official guilt, for those who, knowing the feasibility of forging Exchequer bills, had tempted him to commit OR offence. The termination of the trial has put an end to all present means of investigat ing the subject; the public are left com pletely in the dark ; but not so the Ministers. They have received, and possess, all Mr. RA_ pAr.Lo's communications. They investigated the matter for several days at the Home-office ; they knew, it is therefore to be presumed, all the par ticulars to which Mr. SMITH has alluded. If the public be not made acquainted with those parti culars, it will be universally suspected that the Ministers have strong motives for keeping the public in the dark. If, after Mr. SMITH'S con duct, any favour be shown him in the penal colonies, it will be suspected that he pleaded guilty from a hope, if not from a promise, of finding favour. If the whole matter be net cleared up—if those individuals who tempted Mr. SMITH, and who have plundered the Exchequer, or individuals, of such enormous sums, be not dragged into day—if the dates of the first forgery be not stated—if all the agents be not named (for Mr. RAPALLO is supposed to have become an agent at a late period oL v plie transac tion)—if the share of the several individuals con cerned be not made kno.wn—the public will have reason to be dissatisfied, and to entertain the gravest suspicions. For the honour of public men the matter must not be left enveloped in its present mystery. Mr. Baron PARKE'S observation, that Mr. SMITHS conduct " entailed ruin ou hundreds of individuals, and loss to many of their whole for tunes," has excited much uneasiness. We hope that it is not to be considered as an exposition of the law on the case, as Wit were settled in the minds of the Judges that the Government can not be held responsible for the forgeries. If that be the law, a number of individuals will, indeed, suffer serious loss; but we shall wait till the case is tried before a competent Court to believe that the Judge means so to decide. If that shall, however, be considered as the law, the Govern ment must be prepared to pay off all its Exche quer Bills, for they will no longer be " current money with the merchants." We have heard of one banker who has already declined receiving Exchequer Bills. We have always thought that the question of payment or not would mainly depend on the knowledge of the individuals holding the bills that they were improperly come by, and that, where no suspicion of complicity existed, the Go vernment would pay -the bills, which its own dishonest servant had issued. On this ground we regret that the trial has failed to supply the public with any information, and that the words of Mr. Baron PARKE imply that the whole loss will fall on the individuals who hold the forged bills. But Mr. Baron PARKE has, we trust, been remature in expounding the law, and the Go vernment will not inflict ruin on individuals by the wickedness of its own servants. The Lord Bishop of RlPON—the words are so printed in the Tory Journals, with a view of re storing to the princes of the Church some of their lost feudal grandeur, and of endowing them with a Puseyite veneration in the minds of the people, and so imposing on and cheating the public understanding— the Lord Bishop of RIPON stated at a great public meeting, held at Wakefield on Thursday last, to promote educa tion, that England was on this point behind several other nations. It was a humiliating fact, with respect to Europe at large, that, with the exception of the two extremities of it, Russia and Spain, England stood the lowest in the scale of popular education. There ought in every coun try to be one-fourth of the whole community receiving a general education. He doubted whether in any country the maximum had ever been attained. In Wurtemberg, perhaps, the highest of any country, there was one-fifth of the population submitting to education. His Lord ship then referred to one of the cantons of Switzerland, where an immense sum was annually granted for the education of the people, and to the fact that a law had been passed in Austria preventing any man from being married, or any tradesmen from employing workmen, until he could read, write, and cast accounts. His Lord ship next alluded to th e sc h oo l s i n Scotland, established in every village, and supported by a tax on the landed proprietors. With respect to England, however, it proved a lamentable exception to the rest of Europe, for in this country only 1 out o f every 11 or 12 were under primary education ; and if that were the case with re spect to England , they must be satisfi e d th a t i n t h at diocese, comprising as it did a large manufacturing dis trict, the average must he still less favourable. This is a sad and a humiliating fact, but to whom is it humiliating? To th e b u lk o f t h e people ? No. To the master manufacturers ? No. To the clergy? Yes. To the law-makers, to the gentry? Yes; to them it is deeply humi liating, had they any right feeling, but they seem to have no shame on account of their own scandalous negligence. Whose duty is it, and has it been, to educate the people ? Not that of the master-manufac turers, or the people themselves. The duty of the first is to preside over their establishments, to devise and execute new fabrics, to make and sell cloths and iron, and supreminently well have they perfOrmed this duty. The duty of the second is to assist the masters, and contribute to the production of useful articles, and nobly have they done their part. The duty of the clergy is to educate the people. To perform that duty they are set apart, exonerated from all produc tive labour, amply endowed, and richly paid. Our ancestors, not unmindful of the great social task confided to the clergy, appropriated most munificent estates for the purpose, which have increased in value as society has increased in numbers and wealth; but the clergy have misappropriated these endowments, and perverted them to enrich the priesthood. Wretchedly as the people have been fed, they have been even worse taught; and the old reply of the farmer to the parson marks with great accuracy the relative duties of the parties. When Hodge was reproached by his Reverence with being better fed than taught, Hodge rejoined, "True, for I feed myself, and you teach me." To fied and clothe society is the business of th e farmers, manufacturers, and their workmen; to teach it is the express business and duty of the priesthood. The statement of the Lord Bishop is therefore damning proof of the mis behaviour of the priesthood. On this proof, however, the priesthood now found a demand for further favour and further power, and ask for greater opportunities to be still more criminally negligent. Not conter with their present dominion, they grasp at th, whole education of the people, that they may consign them to still greater ignorance and still darker superstition. It will be worth while to consider for one mo ment the manner in which the duties of the pro ducing and the teaching classes have been per formed. Our education, says the Lord Bishop, stands the lowest in the scale of Europe, save and except Russia and Spain. Our productions stand at the very head of the civilised, world. In com parison to the size of the country and the num ber of the people, England, in wealth and me chanical power, is the foremost of all the nations of the world. Honour, great honour, this to the producing classes. Disgrace, great disgrace, this state of education to the teaching classes. Ad mirably have the producing classes done their duty, and scandalously have the teaching class neglected theirs; yet, with an impudence which surpasses even their negligence, they continually reproach the producing classes, and continually assume to themselves the Godlike merit of pre serving and sustaining society, and continually demand more power and more wealth. That simple statement is quite sufficient to establish the view which we take of the duties of the educating and producing classes, but it may be not inappropriately enfbrced by the little we know of the production and distribution of wealth in former and present times. In 1696 the population of England and Wales was estimated by Mr. GREGORY KING at 5,500,000. According to the late census it is now 15,911,321, or it has increased nearly three. fold; for the sake of simplicity we will say threefold. In 1691 the nett income paid into the Exche quer, according to Mr. CHALMERS, in his" Com parative Estimate," was 4,249,757/. Taking round numbers, let us assume that it was in 1696 5,000,000/. Last year the payments into the Ex chequer on account of Great Britain were 44,000,000/. sterling. The population of Scot land is 2,628,957, or more than one-sixth of that of England and Wales. We substract, there fore, one-sixth of this revenue to obtain the re venue now yielded by England and Wales alone, which makes the revenue last year of Eng land and Wales 37,700,000/. While the popula tion, therefore, has increased since 1696 three fold, the revenue has increased sevenfold. Whatever may be thought of the manner in which the Government has done its duty to the productive classes, there can be no doubt whatever that the productive classes-- in providing the Government with a revenue sevenfold as great as in the reign of King WILLIAM, and more than twice as great as their ancestors provided at that period, man for man— have amply done their duty to the Government. Each man now pays more than double the sum, for the services of the Government, which each man paid in 1696. In 1696, the rental of England and Wales was estimated, by Mr. GREGORY KING, at 10,000,0001. It is now, according to Mr. M'CuL- Locit's calculations, in his statistical work, at the very lowest 30,000,0001., which we believe to be an under estimate ; but, assuming that the rental has increased only to 30,000,000/., even that is a greater increase than the population. About 1696, the revenue of the Church, in England and Wales, was estimated at 577,000/. ; at present it is at least 3,500,000/. ; or, while the population has increased only threefold, the in come of the priesthood has increased more than sixfold, exclusive of sundry grants made to them, to the extent of nearly 3,000,000/. within a few years, and yet they are not contented. We are sensible of a discrepancy in these statements, between the great increase of the in come of the priesthood, and the increase in the rent of land; and we are inclined on this, as well as on other considerations, to suppose that the pre sent rental of England and Wales is much under estimated by Mr. M'CuLLocH. At the same time, it is not to be expected that the increase of the rental should have kept pace with the in crease of the rental should have kept pace with the revenues of the Church. The latter, till the Tithe Commutation Act passed, was derived from a share of the gross produce of land, which increased as the production increased ; the former is paid only out of the net produce, and after all the expenses of cultivation have been paid. Besides these contributions of the working classes to the revenue of the State, the rent of the landowners, and the income of the clergy, there is another branch of wealth, we mean the profit on capital, which has increased in a much greater ratio than either the rent of land, the income of the clergy, or the revenue of the State ; but we do not pretend to have any data on which to calculate the increase since 1696. It is certain, however, from the great num ber of persons who now live in opulence and ease, without toil, that the increase in the amount of profit, all of which is yielded by la bour, has been very great indeed. Taking into consideration this great increase—the increase in the income of the clergy, in the rental of land, and in the revenue of the Government---it must be at once apparent that the working classes have energetically done their duty to society. Their condition as to education, as to food, clothing, and lodging, proves, on the contrary, that the other classes have not done their duty towards the working classes. They have not not obtained a due share of the wealth they have produced, while their education has been almost wholly and shamefully neglected. Do we from this statement infer that the priesthood should be encouraged to educate the people more and control their edu cation ? No. We infer frOm it that the priest hood is totally inefficient to perform the duties prescribed to it. We infer, too, from such facts as the establishment of mechanics' institutes that the productive classes, if not interfered with, and if allowed to have a due share of their own productions, will educate themselves. In fact, they have done this for all useful purposes The prime object of their education, and of the education of all men, is to enable them to per form their duties, the chief of which is to get their own subsistence; and if the education of the working men enables them amply to provide food, clothing, comforts, and conveniences for society, their education is what it ought to be No other education is of any importance coin pared to that; and that species of education, the apprenticeship by which trades are learnt, the working classes confer on one another, and no other persons can confer it on them. For them book education is an amusement, a recreation, a pastime, which they would do well to cultivate; but it is not n ecessary to the performance of their duty as producers. As members of a politica l society they have duties to perform in relation to the Go vernment and their fellow-citizens, which require a considerable degree of education, but this edu cation they must give themselves, or get it as they can, and the priesthood and gentry will only use the power of giving it, if they have that power . to corrupt and •mislead the people. So EVENING SUN far from concluding that the priesthood she" regulate the public education, it is clear,ere t ll3 duties over the education w hi c h ena bles the dift classes to p er f orm eac h hi s res p e ctiven du they can have no influence: They may be able o zi.ve educate pri es t s , b ut t h ey canno t e ducate a na i l' maker, an en g i neer , or a sa il or .

The most important news brought by the Over land Mail from India is the anticipated rupture with the King of Burmah. THARAWADDIE has never forgiven the thrashing given him by the English in 1824-5, and gladly seizes the period of our conflict with the Chinese, to be revenged upon us. But the Bengal Govern ment is not so ignorant of the intentions of THARAWADDIE as to be taken unawares. Lord AUCKLAND had a force of two thousand five hundred bayonets, and twenty-five heavy guns and howitzers at Moulmein, while an equal number of me:i and guns were ordered to reinforce them. The Burmese had an immense number of gun boats on the Irrawaddy, but it was supposed that two ships of war, two armed schooners, and eight excellent steamers, at the command of the Bengal Government, would make short work of sinking the whole of them. It was generally supposed that Mr. BEAUMONT SMITH would plead guilty; his doing so, there fore, only so far disappointed the public as it has completely stifled those disclosures which the examination of witn esses an d the defence were expected to elicit. Why was it supposed that Mr. SMITH would plead guilty, when our law offers every criminal, defended by a sagacious Counsel, so many chances of escape? He had engaged Sir THOMAS WILDE to defend him ; that Learned Gentleman is known never to give up a cause ; it could not have been anticipated that lie would recommend a plea ofguilty, and the gene ral anticipation must, therefore, have been founded on the circumstances of the case itself. The pub lic had marked how it had been secretly inquired into at the Home-office ; what lame e•-•idence was produced against SMITH at Bow-street, and HA PALLO at the Mansion-house; and there was a general suspicion that strong motives existed somewhere for huddling up the case as closely and snugly as possible. Hence the general be lief that SMITH would plead guilty, in order to withdraw his case as speedily as possible from the public eye. If such suspicions existed before the trial, what passed on Saturday has confirmed them. Mr. SMITH declared " I never derived benefit, even to the small e x t ent necessary, to re li eve me from my comparati ve l y trifling embarrassments, and I am at this moment in debt f or money actually borrowed from sources unconnected with Exchequer bills, to pay off my original incum brances." Who has derived benefit, then ? Who .t. , k' • • ", • ~ Zs, .....14,04k. , • ~ ,,, — V , .° ' 4 i -- ~,,. , i ,,— ti'4. . ~ 4 bit
