We announce with regret that Dr. BIRKBECK, the President of the London Mechanics' Insti tute, and the patron, promoter, and founder of such institutions in every part of the country, died, yesterday morning, at his residence, Fins bury-square. He had been ailing for some months, and his death was not unexpected. In him science has lost a devoted student, and the working classes an ardent and affectionate friend. Dr. BIRKBECK was in his sixty-fifth year, and, beyond the circle of II*: patients, by whom he was much trusted and Waved, was best known to the whole empire as the author and champion of scientific instruction to the working classes. It is now, we bAieve, nearly thirty years since he first undertook to deliver lectures to them at Glasgow, and from that time till within a few months of his death he was unwearied in pro moting their instruction. Not only did he ex plain, on various occasions, to admiring audiences, the truths of mechanics and chemistry, he also lectured on the principles of physiology, and taught the members of the Mechanics' Institute by specimens, and even by the human subject, the anatomy and functions of life. There was scarcely one branch of the mechanical and phy sical sciences on which he did not occasionally lecture, and not one which he did not improve and adorn. His language was eloquent as well as simple, and the influence which he wielded over great numbers of men, supposed to be rude and unpolished, was overwhelming while he was speaking, and will be beneficially remembered by many persons to the latest moment of their lives. Though not obtrusive, though never courting fame, though little known to the noisy, bustling, political world, we, who have watched his course and his proceedings for nearly twenty years, venture to assert that no man in this age and nation has done so much to improve and soften, to elevate and adorn, the minds of the working classes as Dr. BIRKBECK. We trust that he will not be allowed to pass from amongst us without some proof—for our own honour—that we were sensible of his worth. Dr. BIRKBECK, though not the author of the address which first appeared in the Mechanics' Magazine, nor the originator of the suggestion to establish a Mechanics' Institution in London, was one of the first persons who united himself to the projectors, and, if he may be called the founder to whom its success was owing, Dr. BIRKBECK, whose influence, talents, purse, and zeal, gave life and soul to the scheme, may be called the founder of the Lon don Mechanics' Institute. It would be unjust, knowing, as we do, the fact, not to add that the person with whom the suggestion originated was Mr. J. C. ROBERTSON, a gentleman remarkable for the usefulness and fertility of his schemes ; but to Dr. BIRKBECK is mainly due the honour of setting the Institution on foot. He was una nimomly elected its President, and continued to preside over the Institution, always assisting it with his counsel and his services, till his death. The London Mechanics' Institute was the parent of the many similar institutions that are now to he found in several parts of the metropolis, and in almost every large town of the empire. They have already done much to promote scientific knowledge throughout the kingdom; and the great impulse which they have given to human improvement, begun in 1823, will be imperish ably connected with the name of Dr. BIRKBECK. At a meeting of the Mechanics' Institute, last night, the lamented event was announced by reading the following, letter from Miss BIRK BECK : " My poor father, as you are aware, has / been a great sufferer for many months, but still we had hoped that he would have been spared to us for many years; but it was not so willed, for at six o'clock this morning he expired. Late last night he called me to him, and dictated the inclosed note, which he bade me send you, showing how interested he felt, even in his dying moments, for the Institution : "My Dear Sir—l should have liked to have been present at another Anniversary of the In stitution, but it is not permitted. I have read the programme, and I do not doubt but all will be successful." • Dr. BIRKBECK lived to see the 18th year of the Institution completed, and died within a few hours of the time when many of his grateful scholars were preparing to celebrate the 19th birth-day of the Institution. On several occasions lately the Times has drawn attention to the reports which it has dili gently published of an investigation still pending into the manner in which the union workhouse of Sevenoaks has been conducted. Very dis gusting and very revolting scenes, as may be ex pected when you open wide the doors of every ward and every dormitory of a workhouse, have been placed before the public. We have read the accounts and the comments in the Times with great disgust, and we will not disgust our readers by repeating them. We will content ourselves with saying, that in this union workhouse, sixty one persons more were placed after it was said to be full; that seven boys slept in one bed, and five in another ; that the itch, and the terrible disease called goitre, prevail from the dampness of the situation and the crowded state of the workhouse; and that, altogether, the place is more loathsome than the most crowded and Worst prison in this empire. To the Times we are indebted for a knowledge of the fact that the Marquis of CAMDEN and Colonel H. AUSTEN, an opulent country gentle man, lately constituted the Visiting Committee, and that the workhouse has been frequently visited by the Rev. Dr. D'OYLY. But the Times does not tell the public, which we desire to im press on our readers, that this Sevenoaks Union is not in the manufaCtarimg districts, but in the heart of one of the finest rural districts of the county of Kent. Memory will not serve us to enumerate the noblemen's and gentlemen's seats which are within a very few miles of Sevenoaks. Besides the Marquis of CAMDEN, the Earl AMHERST, and the Marquis of DowN SHIRE, we believe, Earl STANHOPE, Sir HENRY H ARDINGE, Mr. HERRIES, with scores of other noblemen and gentlemen, have all spacious mansions and parks in the immediate vicinity of the beautiful town of Sevenoaks. There may be a paper-mill or two, and there is, we believe, a a silk' mill in the district ; but the character of the district is that of rural beauty, embellished with a great number of noble parks and magni ficent mansions. In this district, and under the eye of these noblemen and gentlemen, and on the tillers of their estates, have the disgusting and revolting atrocities, described in the Times, been practised. Agricultural and clerical Kent is doomed to be instructive to the nation. When Thom found believers and followers within the sound of the Cathedral bell of Canterbury, Kent re vealed to the astonished world how deplorably and thoroughly the rich clergy had neglected and injured the people ; and the same kind of testimony which Thom and Canterbury bore to the cha rac t er o f t h e pr i est h oo d , d o the horrors of the S evenoaks ' un i on workhouse, surrounded by noblem en ' s seats, of England. bear to the character of gentry The morning post has taken a f a ir a d van t age of a hasty and incomplete expression of o ur thoughts in yesterday's Sun, to represent our argument as confused and perplexed. W e w ill now reprint the sentennleveri quotedtte by the Post, as take fruoum, and we trust the citomoupglleittiotonl(:faviet willbee us, yor e Post all pre gake to thethe sentence : e ho n i mark bodyin f text for misunderstanding italics the additions we " The Corn-law avowedly compels the consumers to give more labour for theircorn than 'they would have to give if there were no Corn-law, abolition of the law would therefore lessen the quantityTheof labour required to be given for corn, or lower the natural price of corn, and at the same time, by fein more persons, increase the sum of l abour in the e co g munity, or means of paying for corn and all other thing s ," The Post denies, for the Pro-Corn-law men, " that the law compels the consumers to g i ve more labour for their corn." What then do they mean when they assert " that the abolition of the law would lower the price of corn, and drive large quantities of land out of cultiva tion?" That could not be the case were the foreign corn to be imported with the produce of less labour. Their whole case, all their ar guments, imply an avowal, and, therefore, we used the word " avowedly " that the Corn law compels the consumers to give more labour for their corn than they would have to give were there no Corn-law. The men of Manchester, for example, would then purchase the flour of Ame rica for about one-third less labour than they are now obliged to give for English flour. The Post admits that " the Corn-law makes corn dearer," but it asserts that " it makes labour dearer." We cannot understand this proposi tion. Corn and labour are exchanged for each other, and both cannot be made dearer. "La bour," to use the language of ADAM SMITH, is the "first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things." "What is bought with money or with goods," he says, "is purchased by labour as much as what we acquire with the toil of our own bodies." Labour was not only the first and original purchase money; it continues now to be the only pur chase-money of all the wealth of the world. It alone purchases and pays for corn, and to us, therefore, it appears nonsense to say the Corn law makes both corn dearer and labour dearer. One is the measure of the other. " Dearer" ex presses a relation between them, and nothing else ; and it is an impossibility that both can be made dearer. These few observations appear to us to prove that the Corn-law, on the admission of our op ponents, enhances the price of corn to the con sumers, or increases the quantity of labour re quired to obtain the necessary supply of corn ; that it consequently diminishes in pre cisely the same ratio their means of pay ment; and that the abolition of the law would reduce the quantity of labour required to obtain corn, increase its quantity, and augment the means of payment. If we have established that point, we call on the Post to surrender, for it admits if it were proved that the abolition of the Corn-law would increase the means of payment for corn, the case of the Pro- Corn-law party must fall to the ground. The Madrid Papers received are of the 23d inst. On that day ESPARTERO entered the capital in triumph, having effectually crushed every germ of the Christina rebellion in the Northern provinces. Though pressed for space, we cannot omit quoting the following graphic description of his entry into Madrid, from the pen of an eye-witness. The letter is dated the 23d ult., and was penned immediately after the occurrence it records : The Duke de la Victoria is again quietly lodged in the capital. He reached Guadalajara last night by sun set ; stopped there for the night, and entered Madrid to day, by the Gate of Alcala, at half-past one o'clock. Only one fueling hailed his approach here the Spaniards now know Espartero. The windows and balconies of the houses in the direc tion of the intended procession were hung with tapestries, and filled with spectators. The concourse of persons abroad was immense. The handsome arch, composed of a skeleton of wood, covered with evergreens and flowers, at the top of the street of Alcala, received its last touches of embellishment only a few minutes before the spectacle commenced. On a tablet above the arch, supported by two allegorical figures, was the simple inscription—" Al Pacificador de Espana—La Villa de Madrid." ro make the English reader understand this, I hare only to re mark, that " villa" in the Spanish language means, as used here, the "corporation." In the open spaces between the columns forming the wings of the main arch, were also placed statues of an emblematic character, the whole form ing a fine termination of the vista presented by the great street of Alcala, filled with masses of the people, mingled with their fellow -townsmen in uniform. At the particular suggestion of her Majesty the young Queen Isabel, one of the fine state carriages of the Palace and six horses were ordered out to convey his Highness into town. I say at the special instance of the Queen, because I have reaso. - ,; ' to know the compli men t or i g i nate d entirely witl ner self. Otherwise, it was E s p ar t ero ' s w i s h and Intention to have entered on horseback. At one , ; 3 c - lock a long line of carriages, proceeding towards, the gate of Alcala, announced the progress of :se corporation of Madrid going to meet the Regent, and officially welcome him to the capital on roaching the gates of the city. By this time he had arrived at the Espiritu Santo, and entema alone in the open carriage appointed for him, amidst the cordial greetings of the National Guards and numerous spectators who went out in the morning to meet him. At the Gate of Alcala he was addressed by the Corporation in a congratulatory and complimentary speech. From this point to the Palace his reception by guards, troops of the line, and the people, was one continued s uccess i on o f c h eers and rejoicings, acknowledged in his usual admirable manner. Though suffering from a cold, he appeared in excellent spirits, and much pleased with the hearty welcome of the people. To the spectators in the balconies of the British Embassy opposite, his acknowledgments were. particularly marked. Preceded by the Corporation, and followed by a nume rous escort of general offiers, cavalry of the line, and of the National Guard, be proceeded direct to the Palace, without stopping at the Town-hall, the battalion of Na tional Guards, who went out to meet him in the morning, bringing up the rear of the procession. On arriving there the carriage drove up to the foot of the grand staircase, the scene of the terrible events of the memo rable night of the 7th, and was received by her Majesty in the Throne-room. The meeting, I am told, by one present, was truly affecting. The ambition of, the Duke to serve the interests, and resign unimpaired into the hands of.her Majesty, on coming of age, the trust reposed in him by her and her subjects, has become in him a feeling of paternal affection. Young as is the Queen, I have every reason to believe that she fully appreciates his services and dispositions towards her. Having stopped about half an hour with the Queen and Infanta, and appeared with the former at the principal balcony of the Palace, to the great gratification of the people, who were assembled in large numbers below in the Court-yard, he proceeded to his own house in the street of Alcala by the same route he entered, and still accompanied by the Cor poration and escort stated above. It importance were now attached to omens, a favourable one might be formed of the Duke's visit to the Palace of Queen Isabel. While engaged with the Queen in the Throne-room, I observed three magnificent eagles wheeling exactly over the Palace for nearly a quarter of an hour, to the no small annoyance of the innume rable pigeons that inhabit the exterior " attics" of that noble building, and which were kept in a sort of pro nunciamento all the; time by the presence of their aerial sovereigns. There is but little political news in the Paris Journals of Tuesday. The rumours in the poli tical circles were, that a dissolution of the Cham bers was resolved upon; that the Ministers would be defeated at the elections; and that a modification of the Cabinet would take place. The last is the only rumour to which 'we attach any degree of credit. The Chambers are about to enter upon their last sessior,, and the KING is sensible that be could not h o p e to gain anything by their dissolution. As a majority of the m :. , mbors would readily support a Cabinet in which M. TRIERS, M. MONTALIVET, or M. MOLE had a seat, provided the first -named little gentleman did not figure again as Minister of Foreign Af fair, it is very likely that some changes in the Ministry will take place. The mercantile world has but little confidence in M. HUMANN, the Mi nister of Finance, and at Court he is anything but a favourite. His, therefore, will be the first dismissal. No Minister ever was more popular abroad than M. GUZZOT, but at home he is re garded with the utmost suspicion. We there fore consider his retirement from office as ex ceedingly probable. Europe will regret this, but a day is not distant when France will lame,lit it still more. sion, have refused to answer, not acknowledging the authority of that tribunal. The Sabine and Dunori French ships of war sailed from Pensacola on the 14th of October. They had lost ten men of their crews by the yellow fever, which raged there. Among them was M. Michael, the surgeon of the Sabine, who died in the United States' Hospital after six days' illness.--Le Commerce. A woman at Duysburg, in Belgium, aged 39, and who had never had any children, is mentioned by the Inde pendant of Brussels as having just been brought to bed of three children, a boy and two girls. The Phare of Bayonne states that on the night of the 19th inst., during a violent storm, a shock of earthquake was felt at Biarrita, and along the coast from Boucau to Hendaye. It appears that it was the roadway planking of the suspension-bridge at Blagnac, in the - Dordogne, which gave way the other day, and not the suspending chains. The waggon which was going over at the time was laden with several heavy pieces of iron machinery. The waggoner hung on by the bars of the bridge, and was not thrown into the water ; and only one person out of five (not eight, as was stated), who were precipitated into the water, was drowned. All the horses, except the one in the shafts, perished. The trial of Messrs. Arsac, Gasc, and Roaldes, late Mayor and Deptity Mayors of Toulouse, for unduly exercising ther functions as such after the Prefect had sent to them the Royal Ordonnance for their dismissal (the lull particulars of which we gave at the time of the disturbances in that city), has been pendinr , before the Correctional Tribunal of P au f or severa l' days. The sentence was given on Saturday, when the accused per sons were condemned to the penalty of 100 f. each and costs. The defence set up was that the Royal Ordon nance contained a legal informality by not stating the day for the re-election of the Municipal Councillors ; but this was over-ruled. Messrs. Arzae, Gasc, and Roal des immediately gave notice of their intention to appeal against the sentence. M. de Rubelles, editor of the Journal du Bourbonnais, has been fined 50 francs by the Correctional Tribunal of Moulins, for wearing a foreign order without special permission. The Courier de la Gironde of Bordeaux states that M. Loste has been named Juge-Commissaire in the bank ruptcy of Messrs. Balguerie. " This nomination," it adds, " promises an active and conscientious liquida tion." The Globe says that several stoppages . of firms have occurred at Bordeaux simultaneously with that of Messrs. Balguerie. The prosecution by the family of tl a late M. Lafarge against the Indicateur of Tulle, fo the libel we have already more than once noticed, was brought to trial on the 18th inst., before the Correctional Tribunal of that place. The case was argued with great warmth and ability by the advocates of both parties ; but the Tri bunal decided against the accused, and condemned the responsible editor to pay a fine of 300 E, and damages of 600 f., and to the insertion of the judgment, at his own expense, in the Gazette des Tribunaux, the Album de la Correze, the Progres, and the Indicateur.

Should such be the case —which we do not believe—France will be placed in a position of considerable difficulty. She has pledged herself to support the Bey of TuNis ; but, were a naval force sent against him, she could not do this without countenancing the rebellion of a vassal, and thus justifying the joint interference of England, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, who are bound by the Treaty of the 13th July, to maintain the integrity of the Turkish empire. The Courrier Francais has, with astonish ing naivete discovered that Mr. BANKIIEAD, our Ambassador at Constantinople, is the author of the correspondence published in the London papers, attributing to France the attempt to em broil Turkey in a quarrel with Greece. The au thor of this ingenious discovery will he telling us next, we suppose, that Mr. BANKHEAD Was the author of Madame DE SEVIGNE'S Letters, and that Count DE PONTOIS assisted PASCAL in the composition of his thoughts !

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1841. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND IL)ttbitt " Who runs may read." VOILZIGN. The long delayed ratification by the Ottoman Porte of the treaty of July 13, 1841, for the closing of the Dardanelles, has arrived at Paris. It was delayed by the intrigues pf Russia. A change, or rather , modification, of the French billet, is now generally looked for in Paris. M. Guizot, it is thought, will retire to make room for Mole, Mohta lint, or Thiers. The fortifitions of Paris are suspended; the con tractors are nearly all ruined, the Engineering Depart ment having enforced the exeeution of their engagements with the utmost severity. A large body of workmen are consequently thrown out of employment, and they will doubtless augment the difficulties of the Ministers. Another source of embarrassment is the apprehension that a Turkish squadron will be sent against Tunis. The Cabinet knows not what step to take. The Presse is for a declaration in favour of the Tunisians. This would be but a preparatory step to the seizure of Tunis by Franco, which England must oppose. Here, then, is a peck of troubles for France. The wife of Don Carlos—the late Princess de Beira— is seriously indisposed, This occurrence is likely to be made a pretext for insisting on the liberation of her hus band. Despatches to Berlin and Vienna on the subject have already been transmitted by the Prussian and Aus trian Ministers from hence. Prussia, it is added, will peremptorily insist on the early termination of Don Carlos' captivity. A letter from Toulon of the 25th ult. has the follow ing :—" The number of sick in Africa is very great. The five sail of the line engaged in transporting troops to the various points of that country are each to bring back 200 of these invalids, and every preparation for their comfort' on board is made. The officers of these ships are discontented at seeing them converted into hospitals, but as the other vessels are insufficient for the purpose, this appropriation is indispensable. The Ma rengo, Alger, Diademo, Genereux, and Ville de Mar seille, will bring home the 23d of the line from Oran, the 62d of the line, it is believed, from Constantine, and such of the soldiers as are discharged from service. By these changes the army will gain between 4,000 and 5,000 effective men ; but the aggregate number will be the same as at the opening of the campaign in the spring —viz., 80,000 men." The Ccloyne Gazette says :—" The contraband is ac tive on the confines of Russia and Prussia. The peasants have formed a kind of armed corps to carry on the traffic. The penalties are severe. The Russian smug glers are sent to Siberia. The Prussian smugglers are kept till they pay double duty, which is so severe that they are seldom ransomed. A pound of cotton pays 70 roubles duty."—There is an easy remedy for this demo ralising evil. Reduce the duties and there will be no smugglers, The Regent of Spain has returned to the capital, which he entered in triumph on the 23d ult., amid the acclamations of the people and the National Guard. " The Regent," says a Spanish Correspondent of the Moniteur Parisipt, "before returning to Madrid, re ceived from all parts petitions for amnesty and clemency. At every station as he passed along the people thronged to greet him. On the Queen's birthday he gave a grand reception at Saragossa, and his saloons were crowded. The inhabitants of Bilbao presented him an address, de manding justice on the truly culpable, but at the same time calling to his notice those heroes with whom he had been united in affection at the bivouac, and in the hour of danger, and concluding with this appeal—' Clemency —clemency for Bilbao ! ' The Regent will cast a deep stain upon his name if the cleinency so generally im plored be refused. The Correo Nacional announces that the publisher of the Cangrejo has been condemned by the jury to „six years' imprisonment for an article in that paper, and that all the persons in prison in Madrid under sentence for offences of the press have been removed to the prisons of Las Penas de San Pedro, where they are to undergo their sentence. One of them is said to be upwards of seventy years of age, and in a bad state of health. The Spanish Government is very much to blame in authorising these prosecutions for political offences. Espartero ought to signalise his return to the capital by setting all this class of offenders at liberty. The number of letters which have passed through the French Post-office have more than doubled within the last twenty years. PUBLIC OPXNXON. The Times, alluding to the question of the relations existing between the Porte and some of its former Chris ti= provinces, remarks :—" It has been pretty generally agreed by all the Powers and the statesmen who have applied themselves, with more or less disinterested anxiety, to cure the disorders and to invigorate the frame of the Turkish Empire, that repose was the condition most essential to the recovery of its health and vigour. But, unfortunately for the theory of those who hold that since the signature of the collective note of July, 1839, all Europe has acknowledged a common interest and a common policy in Eastern affairs, the Porte has conti nued to be agitated, not only by internal intrigues, but by a series of occurrences which perpetually exhibit its own embarrassments, and to invoke the interference of its allies. The note sent by the Turkish Government on the 28th of October to the representatives of Eng land, France, and Russia, is an unequivocal symptom of the fresh perturbation in the relations existing between the Sultan and his former Christian provinces."— Whether existing in a state of peace or war, the days of Turkey, as an influential and independent Power, are, we fear, numbered. She is a doomed kingdom, though possibly for a few years, a variety of accidental causes may occur to protract her fall. The old fanaticism, which was her great strength in war, is gone ; and the reforms, substituted in its stead, have not yet acquired sufficient vigour and stability efficiently to supply its place. At present, the pacific dispositions of the great European States maintain Turkey in a state of compara tive integrity ; but let these dispositions be but once dis turbed, and the Powers be wholly taken up with their own interests, and from that moment Turkey's fate is sealed, and she becomes a Russian province. The Chronicle thus alludes to Lord John Russell's answer to the Plymouth Address, and the comments made on it by the Tory Journals :—" The first source of annoyance appears to be the confidence expressed in, and accepted by, Lord John Russell, as the champion of free trade, in opposition to the Tory monopolist confederation. Having a Premier of their own, whom nobody trusts, and who has been baptised " Judas" by every section of his followers in turn, they naturally wish the antagonist force to be in the same predicament. They know what their own feelings would be in case of discomfiture. The thought of defeat makes the eye of Sir Robert Peel himself glance furtively at the picture of Actaeon. They are startled at the closer drawing together of the bonds of union and confidence under circumstances of discouragement ; so they have re course to the theory of quackery and credulity for a solution. Generally speaking, an expert and un scrupulous quack is the last person whom the more cre dulous class of patients will be content to distrust.' Lord John Russell unscrupulous !' We should like to hear of a public man who has alienated more followers by the very fact of his unyielding scrupulosity, even while re taining their high 'respect for his integrity and courage." —Were not the Tories in fear of Lord John Russell, they would not, through their organ, attack him as they have lately done. It is his high moral influence over a large portion of the more reflecting classes of the com munity, that makes them dread every sound political opinion that falls from his lips, as if it were fraught with ruin to their own prospects. In a word, his Lordship is a thorn in the side of Toryism, and long may it rankle there 1 The Post is still disqtiietefi itt spirit about the stern truth. tellings of the Liberal press, as is aft - lent from the following passaje s—" Whatever may be the opinion of Liberal ' Mennets of Parliament on either side of the House of Commons, we adhere to the judgment which we ha ve on Inure thalt one oecosion expressed, that good order, and the liberty which depends upon good order, cannot be expected to eXist in this or in any other coun try, whore the outrageous tillseilbtids Of theress are per mitted, as in this country they now are. e aft!rm that free discussion is one thing, and the freedom to publish, without any sort of let or hititleanee, whatever violent or inflammatory falsehood may happen to occur to the heated mind of a party writer, is quite another. That the one thing is a good, and the other an evil. That the one ought to he encouraged as an aid to intelligence and' freedom, and that the other ought to be punished as a gross offence against good morals, good manners, and the peace of society."—The real meaning of all this farrago of words is, that the Liberal partials should not be permitted to write any thing but what is pleasing to the Tories. They should drop no suggestions but such as are in accordance with the beat interests of Sir R. Peel and Co, If they act otherwise, and insist on telling the truth, careless how that truth may offend the delicate ears of Toryism, then they should instantly be put down as a nuisance, and proscribed as heartless, unprincipled fire-brands. This is good Tory logic enough ; but every unbiassed reader's common sense will at once supply an answer to it. The Her dt?'tilts Cothmenis on Lord DtingarinoWs letter respecting the Oxford Professbrship of Poetry :—" His Lordship who is alt M:A o f Oittbrd-.4tut of Christ Church (Dr. 1 4 11seys own college)—is exceedingly dis trttsed on account of the opposition to Mr. Williams' pretensions to the chair of Poetry being founded on grounds so irrelevpnt' (!)' as these or those special theo logical tenets.' Now it is because we, too, can say with his Lordship, that we are attached to that noble University and deeply interested in its welfare,'—that we protest against the assumption that the grounds of objection to Mr. Williams, for one of its professors, in a chair—the lec tures of which Of an ctinil Yik l o l „ J • - 3 - owl to exercise the tn,M ready and pettnanent influence On the minus o, those who attend th em — are i rre l evant , W e a re not astonished at his Lordship's declaration that he under stands not the object of such opposition' when he thinks fit to dispose of all doctrinal differences, embracing opi nions even the mos: schismatical or heterodox, under a general category of these or those special theological tenets,' which ought never to disqualify for the chair of Poetry at a Protestant University Of all the liberalism we have yet hoard preached—that liberalism which, in matters of religion, is distinguished by an almost imper ceptible gradation of characteristics from latitudinarian ism,—we never remember to have heard any proposition suggested so mischievous or indefinite." DX ONMY—TREIDE—CONIMMITME. The Editor of the New York _Herald boasts that the Federal Government of the United States, with the ex ception of a trilling loan, is the only one in tho world out of debt, and added, by way of postscript, " Perhaps the Chinese Government may be out - Of debt, hlit fie don't know certainly."

During the heavy gale on the 24th ult., the schooner James Cook, of Limerick, bound from Sligo to Glasgow, struck on the Galshedy Rock, and immediately went to pieces.

A numerous meeting of the Surgeons of the Royal Navy, was held yesterday at the Thatched House Ta vern, to vote some testimonial to Sir Win. Burnett, Phy sician-General of the Navy, in token of the high respect and esteem in which he is held by the medical officers of the service. It was stated at the meeting that 9511. had already been subscribed, and, agreeably to the wishes of the Physician-General, it was resolved to have his por trait painted by Sir Martin Shee, and 'an engraving pre sented to each subscriber ; the residue to be expended in purchasing a service of plate for Sir William. MAW AND POLICE. At Marlborough. street this day, a young fashionable gentleman, said to belong to a noble family, but who assumed the vulgar name of Smith, was charged with at tempting to wrench off two door knockers in Piccadilly this morning, about two o'clock, and having one in his possession, supposed to be stolen. He was accompanied by several respectable looking gentlemen, and when asked what lie had to say for himself, the usual question put by Magistrates to thieves, his reply was " I think I had taken too much wine." Upon which Mr. Maltby said "I shall fine you 3/, and in default of payment commit you to the House of Correction for fourteen days." Having pulled out a well filled purse and smiled at the idea of a man with plenty of money being sent to the treadmill, he handed over the amount to the gaoler and walked off. TINE _ARTS.
