BRIGHTON ROYAL DRITf§H SofIGOLS. (From the Brighton Guardian-) Thursday last being' the day A ppointed for laying the foundation stone of the. Schools, erecting in Upper Edward-street, and for holding a Public Meeting in connexion therewith; great interest . was C excited, more particularly a s it had been an nounce d that Lord 'John Russell would - .assist in the cere mony,- and take the Chair at the Meetings:. His Lordship arrived from: London (where, on the pre ceding day, he-had assisted .in the . opening of the • Londoit "U.Trti.viassity) about half-past one, being met by some of the*Gentletnens,l the Committee: After the ceremony Pf laying the Foundation Stone had been gone through, the Assembly. dispersed,.prO ceeding to the Old Ship Rooms: THE MEETING. At three o'clock, Lord John Russell, accompa ,. . tied by the Qentlemen of the . Committee; entered the large room of the Old Ship, and advanced to the platform 'which was raised at the upper end of the room:- MONTAGU BURGOYNE, Esq. proposed, " That Lord John , Russell be requested to preside," which.. being. carried by acclamation, his Lordship took the Chair, and - proceeded to open the business •of the day. He regretted the absence of Charles Barclay, Esq. M.P., who was prevented from at tending the meeting. His Lordship observed, that it" was unnecessary to occupy much of the time of those present in expatiating on the principles of the schools, the first stone of which he had just assisted in laying. They appeared to possess two principal features--they enforced no particular creed to the exclusion of others--and, works of industry formed an important part of education. With regard to the first of these," said his Lordship, " my opinion, the result of much and mature deliberation, is formed and not liable to change. re claiming your support in favour of these schools, it is not my wish, to -- injure the Established Church. While we regret that its Members do not co-operate with us, let us think as freely of others as we would have them think of us ; let us believe that they can not conscientiously act with us in forwarding this great work. But, above all, let the temper with which our undertaking shall be conducted prove that we are desirous. of conciliation,; let 'us reject dis cussions of a hostile character. Let.-our endeavours be liMited to the_spread. of knowledge,to all classes, and hope that our efforts may prosper under the blessings of Providence. —(Applause.) lhe other feature of these schools calk; for our warinestAppro bations--I refer to the industry which forms a mate rial part of the education and system of these schools. These advantage' conjoined give to the poor the full benefit of the establishment, which in culcates habits of industry for after life. The:know ledge they obtain will solace them while employed in works of industry, and the fruits of their industry will acquire for them that leisure during which fur ther knowledge may be - pursued." His Lordship having called for the Report, sat down amid great applause. Mr. BURGOYNE adverted to the unavoidable ab sence of John Mortlock, Esq., who had proved him self the staunch friend of this Institution. His con tributions had been princely.' Mr. SKENE then read-the Report. THOS. READ _KEMP, Eaq.M.P., felt it a great pri vilege to be permitted to move--,." That the Report be received, adopted, and printed, under the direc tion of the Committee.", War. ALLEN, Esq. (the TreaSUrer of the Parent Society), rose for the purpose Of seconding the mo tion proposed by the Hon. Member. He rejoiced to find the great work of education so prosperous. Its friends were no longer cautious in adopting mea sures for its advancement. Its advantages were now recognised even in Parliament, and the means. -of carrying it into effect were now only discussed. The principles of the Schools being on Abroad and com prehensive scale, were extensively useful; but the great feature " o f th e . plan was the. union: and po s operation of all who - lov4 : ireligitin--their - eatintry—, and mankind.—(Applatige.)" clEinot 'cine.stion sects," continued the speakersg'eueObjecit ca to com bine the efforts of all gocet men in this works— In 1818, the . mechanical part of are plan of our schools was in operation in. Russia, where the most talented few were chosen from the various regiments of Cossacks, to be instructed in the , plan, in order that they. might diffuse knowledge among their fel low-soldiers. I had the gratification of . witnessing this scene myself; and in a conversation' with Prince Alexander Galitzin, I took' "oeeaaion to regret that so fine an opportunity of' diffusing religious knows ledge should be lost. The Prince communicated my regret to the-Emperor, and, with his sanction, we prepared a selection from the Scriptures, which the Emperor received with favour, and ordered.the same to' be printed and distributed_ from Siberia to Odessa. This selection has since been translated into the various languages of the Continent, and has tended, in a very great measure, to soften down the. barbarities of former ages." The Resolution was , then put and carried. Dr. KING, in moving a resolution that the meet ing gratefully Acknowledge the liberal encourage ment of these schools which has been afforded by the Noblemen and Gentry who have already ex pressed their approbation of them, would state that he was a member of the Established Church, with the interests of which he could not possibly con ceive that this institution could interfere; and be was strengthened in his opinion by the fact of the head of that church being the patron of the Parent British Schools. There are those who complain of the incr ease 'of knowledge and education among the lower orders ; such objection is unfounded; the very words themselves contain a refutation. - Knowledge removes the peopl e from ignorance, and enables them to distinguishaiuseful good. Wits - Jot MACKiNNON, Esq., in seconding the resolution, begged to say that h e also was a member of the Establiabed Church ; and though he differed from the Noble Chairman in his seat in Parliament, and usually divided against him, yet he , would do him the justice to say, that no man deserved better of his c ountry.---(Applause.) —W hether he. be eon sidered as a senator, a n author, or as a priv ate gen tleman, he was equally estimable ; and happy would. it be for the nation, if every one were to pass .his time and devote his means to similar purposes, Mr. Burgoyne was entitled to thanks, both for his laud. able exertions and for his gallantry to the ladies. Mr. BURGOYNE returned thanks. Rev. J. N. GOULTY—My Lord,•assembled as we now are, to prepare the means for emancipatingthe moral and immortal mind from ignorance and au perstition4 We cannot withhold the expression of hallowed delight at the astonishing advance which education, philanthropy, and benevolence, have made among us, during-the last half century. Why, my Lord, it is scarcely more than that period since Granville Sharp—a name endeared to me as one of the ancestors of my own children—obtained, on be half of mere humanity, the glorious verdict of our highest Court of Law, that " The slave who seta his foot on British ground becomes that instant free." (APPlnose..) To this great triumph on the 2 , 2 d of June, 17.7 (after a long and arduous strug gle), may perhaps, io.no small degree, be attributed the subsequent strides of liberal sentiment. In the progress of the ten years which immediately fel lowed, the liberty of mind and its general cultivation began to excite attention ; ari d in. 1782 a beam of heavenly light d a rted across ou r m ora l h or i zon, in the establishment of Sunday Schools;by :Roht. Raikes of filoucester. That streak of light, my Lord, like the messenger of morn, has shone brighter and brighter in this meridian day. Theadmirablesystemsof Lancaster and Bell quicklyfollowed, an_,alulOst simultaneously our Missionary Institutions, about 179.5, which, by supplying-voluntary labourers in foreign landss.pre pared the way for those universal blessings, the British, and Foreign Bible and British and Foreign School Societies.—(Applause.)—And now behold ! one University in the Metropolis of Great Britain already reared, and this very day, this mensorable day, commencing its operations; and another Similar Institution projected, to do do increasing honour— (applause)—tothe reign of our gracious Monarch George IV., the friend and patron of Universal Edu cation, who, after the example of' - his Rev. and Royal Father, seems also to wish that" every child should be tangh..to read the With respect my Lord, to the, , itoble;Metropolitati Establishments to which khavO.,just-referred, we• would cordially and - iky iztly AY, -tney , 'their foundations be as itn perishable as the granite rock of the North —may their rivalry stimulate the exertions, and chasten and regulate the zeal of both, to bless more extensively and permanently " the great body of the people;" and soon4-=very soon—may the common , grave of- slavery, of ignorance, of superstition, and of bigotry, be covered.over for ever.—(Applause.) It is impaSsible, my Lord; not to advert without lively emotion, to the - - circumstance of our being honoured with your Lonlship'spresence on this oc casion. -It was fit, indeed, that the Committee of an Institution constituted as this , Society is, should have looked to some friend of universal education to lay the foundation-StOne of their- establishment: But it would have been thought by them to have been presumptuous to have solicited your Lordship's distinguished patron age of a merely local institution; were it not that in thk instance we particularly feel it to be inseparably connected with those principles of civil and religious liberty which have so long been identified with your Lordship's family, and which have lately received all but their final consummation under. your Lordship's personal influenee,wisdorn,and exertion., Under stich auspices, we desire this day to las broader and firmer, in our own minds, anti in this impoi•tant part of the empire, the foundation of those principles which are at once the Royal and the Na tional inheritance of our country ; an inheritance commensurate only with the eAltie of life, and with which the name of Russell will be associated, white England shall remain, and till religious liberty be consummated in everlasting bliss. I will not detain your Lordship and this assembly by any antieipa tions of- the*probable . results of this day's labour, al though it would he a subject of most delightful re &aim,. I move " that the night Hon. Lord :./ Russell be President of this Institution.". (Applause.) Mr. ISAAC BASS seconded the proposition, Wow being carried by acclamation, His LORDSHIP returned thanks. It is glorious to defend our independence—it is glorious that our fleets and armies have never been defeated nor dis graced; but it •is more glorious to reflect that in more than one instance, and in more than one age, we have contribute& to enlighten mankind. Mili tary and naval glory other nations may. have partici pated, but the glory of having achieved mental con quests is Great Britain's alone.—(Applause.)—His Lordship sat down amidst enthusiastic applause, and the meeting broke up. ATTACK ON THE MAGISTRATES AT FERMOY. (FRom OUR. OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FERMOY, OCT. 6. Ever since the unhappy occurrence here last July, . when one individual lost his life and several were wounded, this town has, more or less, been in a very troubled state; and so great has been the in subordination displayed by the populace against the authority or presence of the police, that the mem bers of this body have hot dared to go into the street without taking the precaution of being well armed. The butchers have shewn themselves most forw ar d to provoke "and assail them. It was one of them, named Duane, who first commenced the riot of July 20. A warrant was out against this indivi dual, who was charged with an attempt to violate the person of a young female. This was given to the police, who went to take him prisoner. On Thursday information was received that Duane was following his calling in the market, whither the police proceeded to arrest him. The butchers rose en masse, closed up all access to the market by bar rieadoing its sates, and dared the police to attempt 41‘ii . 4; the prisoner; un a short time the gates were uneloaed, and the butchers appeared armed with their cleavers and other weapons, and used every endeavour to provoke the police, four in number, to attack them. Some of them conveying Duane away to a place of safety, the police finally retired. On Saturday the butchers were brought before the Petty Sessions, and informations of a rescue and threatened assault having been taken, were ordered to find bail for their appearance at the Assizes ; in default of this, it was intimated to them that they would be committed to prison. They either, were un able or unwilling to find bail, and the police proceeded to handcuff them. .They resisted this, refusing to allow themselves to be put into the dock. The mob, who had assembled around them, joined them in resisting the police. In the. mean time, one of the Magistrates called out the military to aid the civil authorities--and the Magistrates, calling in vain for assistance, were obliged to handcuff the pri soners tlarhselves. Several of them were used in a very disgraceful manner. General Barry was thrown down, and trampled on by the mob : the Rev. Mr. Edgar was as violently assaulted ; and, the frenzy of the people being quite excited, bloodshed might have ensued, were it not for the arrival of the mili tary. One of the prisoners drew a dagger, with which he attempted to cut off the hand of the po lice-man, Levins ; he . failed in his purpose, only cutting off a part of his thumb, but at 'the same time almost severing his own hand from the wrist. The prisoners, eight in number, have been transmit ted to Cork gaol, and will be tried for an assault on the Magistrates. The Liberal Club here, it is said, will defray the expenses of their legal defence.— . Troops are hourly arriving, and the town is quite crowded with military, who patrol the adjacent en virons day and night. A person observed that the rustic amusement of cudgel-playing ought to be abolished, as it affected the security of the crown. It seems pretty certain that animal food is not necessary to sustaiu either the health or vigour of the human body. The Arabs of the Red Sea, who live, with little exception, on dates and lemons, carry burdens of much greater weight than can be borne by Europeans ; and .the Afghan, whose sole aliment is bread, curdled milk, and water, and who inhabits a climate which often pro duces is one day the extremes of heat and cold, undergoes as,much fati gue , an d exer t s as muc h strengt h, as t h e Lon don coal-heaver, who lives on beef and porter.

AN AWKWARD DILEMMA.,,,,— Some caution is requisite, in passing our opinion upon strangers—a cau tion, however, which new of us adopt. At a public levee at the Court of St...James's, A gentleman said to . Lord CIIRSTXRFJELp,..." Pray, my Lord, Who is that tall, awk ward woman yonder ?"

" That la ly, Sir," answered Lord Criesrsvist.o, calmly-- that lady, Sir, is—my wife !" • FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.. FRENCH , PAPERS. (From the Gazette' de France; dated Oct. 7.) CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. I rink m ants are still in the intoxication of victory, but great alarm had been excited by the landing . `of the Russians near Bourgas. On receiving this , news the Grunt} Vizier stopped at Ad r ianople. He appe ars to have entered into concert with Hussein pasha to attempt to relieve Varna.. The measures for the defence of the capital - are actively prosecuted. On the 7th of September fifteen thousand Kurdish cavalry landed at the Dardanelles, and at the environs of Constan tinople took the road to Shumla ; but the taxes in the capital continue to increase, and business is at a 'stand. Great care, however, is taken to provide for the wants of the . people. The Caimaean has lately made a general inspection of bakers' shops; on this occasion ttventy bakers' were nailed by' the ears to their . dwn . doors. During this cruel operation several of them 'smoked their pipes with the greatest indif ference. . The accounts from Odessa of the absolute prohi bition of exporting corn, have made a very painful impression at Constantinople, and the consequences may be fatal. (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) PARIS, .00T. 7.—lt now appe ars d ec id e d t h at our troops will return from the Morea, after %us ham Pacha haS embarked.. This is certainly impOrt ant, as it does away with all hostile views on the part of the French Government in the Mediterranean and hi Egypt; it also proves that France continues in the greatest friendship with England.

We have heard a report—so far as reports are of value before an event is definitively ascer tained—that there will be a decrease in the Quarter's Revenue of 300,0001., as correspond ing with the Quarter of last year.' But this de crease, even if correct, affords no ground of alarm, for it must be recollected that last year the duty on imported corn super-added upwards of 800,0001. to the quarter. This would give a positive increase upon the present quarter of about half a million, supposing matters to have remained stationary for the time being—a cir cumstance as improbable as it would have been unprofitable. The French Papers have no news from the Russian army—the next accounts from which will probably be through the Berlin State Ga zette. The Gazette de France says, on the authority of a letter from Constantinople, that the GRAND VIZIER was preparing with HUSSEIN PACHA to relieve Varna, for which purpose troops were proceeding by forced marches to the scene of operations. Whether they will be able to arrive in time remains to be seen. It is as serted that the Russians have raised the siege of Shunila without even having made an attempt to storm it—and now, if they fail in takingVarna, their game is up, for this campaign, at least—if not for years to come. But we cau hardly believe, after all the boasts which the EMPEROR set out with, his determination to have indemnity for the past and security for the future, that he will dare to desist even from this campaign without achieving some one grand feat worthy his own fame, if jot his hopes, and commensurate with the expectations formed by the world of his three hundred thousand men. If he fail in taking Varna, we would not give much for his head. That sickness to a very great extent prevails in his armies we can readily believe —,-hut that was a casualty to be expected when he commenced the war, and ought to hav, been prepared for; want of forage and provisions pressed on the troops before Shumla, is nothing strange—such misfortunes are the usual consequences attending an invad ing army, and the scantiness of the supply must be in proportion to the, number of the invaders. But for all these things ought not the Russians to have been prepared ? They did not surely expect that their march lay through a country flowing with milk and honey. They must have known from experience what they were attempt ing —that they were invading a land beset with langers as well as natural difficulties--and that, ,o use a common phrase, they had their work to \ ~ , K*~ ~, t~ ~,-,."~ v ~: Knowillg all these things, it appears to us'ltnarvellous hOw they could have hoped to carry their purpose by intimidation alone. )3ut we must do them the justice to say that their plan - of campaign - was ill-concocted and worse exectited. They lied the Means, but wanted the judgment to use them. They frittered away in detail what collectively , :would have at least insured them some cause of rejoicing amid their Imperial regrets. —Their - assurance or folly, it matters not which since the result is pretty nearly the same, exemplifies:the fable of the bundle of sticks in, all its disjointed weakness. Where they ought to be strong they proved themselves weak, simply because they trusted more to the credit of their arms than to the effective display of their might. But let us not reason upon matters which must be self-appa rent to those who attend to the march of political events. That the Russians can accomplish great things is undeniable ; they possess the power ; but in the present instance have neglected, hozu to use it. Varna is the key-stone of the: present campaign—if it fall not to the Russian valour, then farewell to the military glory-of Nrc trot As. • do. In another column will be found a letter from the Russian Consul- General, to a mercantile house in the city, respecting the cargo of a vessel bound to the Dardenelles. The cargo is cotton—and does not of course come-within the meaning of the articles mentioned in 'the Earl of ABERDEEN'S notification to LLOYD'S. At the same time we cannot help remarking . that the terms of the Consul's note savour very strongly of that affected moderation which has hitherto been played off by hiS Imperial MAJESTY. " You may if you witl—bnt enter if you dare," seems to be the pure English of the communication made by the Consul Gene ral. That Russia has a right to blockade the Dardanelles, or any other passage or port belonging -to Turkey, .there cannot be a doubt, so far as her rights as a Belligerent are simply con cerned, but when Russia had waived thoSe rights, under peculiar circumstances, she cannot be allowed to re-assume them with the previous consent of those who were interested in their previous relinquishment, and must -be equally interested in their subsequent resumption. It is upon this point alone that Russia has -either committed an error or provoked remonstrance, if not hostility. If Russia foresaw that the ex ercise of her fleets in the Mediterranean of all the rights of war, would not be welcome to other nations—perhaps not tolerated by them—then, indeed, it showed her dexterity and apparent self-denial in waiving the exercise of such rights. But .it cannot now be allowed to her to resume at pleasure what she was compelled to waive through necessity. We should not at all be surprised' to hear, if the Rus sian fleet insists upon blockading the Darda nelles, that Admiral IJALCOLM, in the due exercise of his discretion, should bring about another event as " untoward", as that of Navarin. Extract of a letter from Constantinople dated Sept. 11 : Several Maltese lonian vessels have arrived with the in tention of proceeding to Odessa, but in consequence of ad vices being received that the exportation of wheat has been prohibited at all the ports of the Black sea, most of them, and many under other flags, will abandon that intention. Preparations are making for the departure of a portion of the Turkish squadron at Bujakdere for the. Black Sea, and great activity is being used in the arsenal to get out some others. We received this morning German and other Papers to late dates, but their contents possess no feature of any political interest, with which we were not previously acquainted. The following are extracts : VIENNA, AUG. 26. The Courier de Smyrne, of SOth August, contains let ters from Alexandria of the 6th aid 13th of that month, relative to the visit of Sir Edward Codrington to Egypt, and the negotiation with the Viceroy respecting the evacua tion of the Morea. The first letters coincide with the ac counts already received by other channels. That of the 18th has some particulars of the terms of the convention more in detail, to the following effect : ALEXANDRIA, AUO. 13. 'Serions difficulties had arisen in drawing up the treaty for the evacuation, and it was feared for a moment that the stipulations which had been verbally agreed upon would not be carried into effect ; but by the exertions of the French and English Consuls the convention was signed on the 9th, in the evening. It is not yet made public, but the leading point is known, which is that the for. tresses now in the bands of Ibrahim Pacha are to re main in possession of the Turks, and to be furnished with provisions for four months. Besides 3,000 Albanians and 1,500 Moriote 'l'u►ks, who constitute part of Ibrahim's army, and are to be . distributed among those fortresses, 1,500 Arabs are to remain behind in order to make the garrison complete, so that Patras, Navarin, Modon, and. Coron, will be occupied by 13,000 men. GENEVA, OCT. 1. Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Helen of Russia, consort of the Grand Duke Michael, arrived here pn Saturday, and was waited on by, a deputation of the Syndics and Council of State, who offered her a guard of honour, which she accepted. The celebrated novelist, Cooper, has been for soma days in this city. FRANKFORT, OCT. 1. His Highness Prince Ypsilanti has passed through this city, on his way from Paris to St. Petersburgh. CASSEL, SEPT. 28. ,p,, According to the accounts from tlie Leipsic fair, the purchasers from Wallachia, Poland, and Russia, were un. commonly numerous, and it is said that large orders have been given by the Russian Government to Saxon and Silesian houses for ordinary woollen- cloths. Sp;LIN, SEPT.. 10. On the news that the Pacha of Usouch had assembled a corps of 10,000 irregular troops, in Macedonia, for the purpose of making a diversion in Setvia along the river Morava, in concert with the Governor of Nissa, Princi Milosch immediately left his residence at Posarewacz, and proceeded at the head of his household troops to Alexineze to collect reinforcements and march to the frontiers, while another Servian corps was distributed in the mountains to secure Prince Milosch in his rear, and to oppose any attempt that might be made by the Turkish troops. This prompt resolution of Prince Milosch is said to have made the Paella of Usouch desist from plan of entering Servia. Prince 1111ilosch, on the other hand, is said to have kept his troops ;together, and to have taken up a position between Alexineze and Busthewa cz, front:which he can easily move in any direction, as well towards Berna as towards the Danube. • •VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—Metalliques, 94 b-16; Bank Shares, 1,082 Extract from the Agent to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated Sept. 4 : His Majesty's ship Philomel, which brought despatches from Corfu, containing the plan of the definitive settlement of Greece by the three allied Ministers; for the acceptance of the Porte, is waiting for the answer daily expected, with which she will sail immediately. By the Jersey Constitutional, ieseived this morning, of the 7th inst., the :systeui - ol mono poly, it appears, is not confined to the British markets. The following is the extract alluded to : " We learn that certain millers have come to an un derstanding with those of Gnernsey,' - to cause a rise of 1 1. sterling on every sack of flour,--V., that the price is ac tually Si. 12s. per sack now, and iliatof bread seven sous, or 33d. per lb. The conduct, of these monopolists merits public exposure." By the Brighton, London . line of paCket ship, Capt.

B6/ for money and account, and 86i 7 for November; the tharkef has since become heavy, from a _general, disposition_ in the brokers to sell stock from all quarters ; for a moment the Hebrews purchased a few thousands, but after a short period desisted from their support. This species of panic was much increased, by a copy of a letter which has been received by a respectable firm, who are brokers in connection with the trade of Turkey, from the Russian Consul General, in re ply to an enquiry that had been made whether the Consul could give documents or certificates for a vessel on' the point of sailing, to prevent her deten tion by the Russian squadron actually blockading the Dardanelles, for. the particulars of which we refer to another part of our paper; the price of Consols has. consequently fallen to 861 I, and 86-4- for Novem-: ber.

I have no notion of setting littl e creatures d own to pore over printed letters, befo re it i s poss ibl e for them to understand any reason which you give for anything.
