MORNING SUN THE NEW ROMANCE. been made in all the ye the very slow addition to tha a t rs pro th g a re t ss h w av h e ich sin h c a e s If elapsed." t ß ru n e t , it it is is no in t d t e rn ed e elap d se e d r . f ' n ' l, won that the progress has not been much accelerated since the reign of ELIZABETH. The writer ap pears not to discriminate between the commu nity and individuals. The progress ofknowledge is in the community, and is latterly very rapid; the slow addition subsequently is confined to the improvement of the education of individuals. This comparison does not apply to the same class of phencmena. If the proposition were confined to the " education exclusively of the upper and middle classes,"as he seems in his mind to con fine it, by immediately after asking whether those classes are more educated than they were in the days of ELIZABETH, we should not dissent from it. In those days, " though a new direc tion has since been given to education," indivi duals were as much trained, and their faculties, bodily and mental, as much developed, consist ently with the knowledge of the community, as they are at present. In our time compendious processes have been found out for more easily ac quiring certain branches of knowledge, but indi viduals are not now more nor better disciplined, consistently with the knowledge of the age, than they were then. Another correction of this writer's view is to be found in the sort of knowledge and dis cipline which were then and now extant. Com paring the haughty Baron shut up in his castle, ignorant of letters, the prey of furious passions, indulging chiefly in the chase, in gaming, or in war (such was the whole genus at the beginning of the war of the Roses), with the polished courtier, addicted to literature and the cultiva tion of the gentle arts of the reign of ELIZA BETH, the change is undoubtedly one of the greatest which can be traced in the character of man in the course of such a short period. Since the reign of ELIZABETH there has been nothing like a similar change in the pursuits of the upper and middle classes. They have undoubtedly gone on cultivating letters, and eloquence, and the fine arts ever since, as they cultivated them in the days of ELIZABETH. At about that period, too, was fixed the scheme of moral discipline and education, through the instrumentality of the Church with the Universities, which has since undergone comparatively little change, except in details. Now, it is clear that there can be no extension of the cultivation of letters corresponding in im portance to the change from non-cultivation to the cultivation by models previously established in other nations ; and no extension of a species of moral discipline equal in importance to an entire change in the scheme. It has been clearly impossible, therefore, that any such vast change in the education of individuals could take place between the days of ELIZABETH and our times as took place between those days and a period 150 years before. The Reviewer seems to us unconsciously to have given himself a very satisfactory explana tion of the comparatively stationary condition of the upper and middle classes, which is of no in considerable importance at the present time ; and to bring which before our readers is our mo tive for adverting to this subject. In speaking of the system which the Reformation displaced, it is said " the learning of the monks was worse than no learning at all." " The first step towards the improvement of mankind was the entire re moval of that miserable mass of superstition, jargon, and absurdity, which passed by the name of education in the middle ages ; a system under I which advance was hopeless, learning unlovely and unloved, and mind transmitted nothing but the laborious barbarism which it had inhe rited." "It was," he adds, " through the temporary decline of the schools, uni versities, and professions, such as they had been, that the sixteenth century was enabled to become a learned age." He calls the previous system a miserably wrong system. "It sub stituted conformity for truth." " The Church enforced, instead of teaching obedience, com pelling men to abnegate their judgment and their will, instead of directing where to distrust and control them—a system under which Con stitutions lived on while man was dwarfed into moral insignificance." Such remarks are nearly as applicable to the system which was esta blished at the Reformation, and has been fol lowed till within a few years, and is now fol lowed, as far as possible, in the English Church and Universities, in whose hands the education and discipline of the upper classes are exclusively placed, as to the system which it superseded. The Protestant Church has carefully imitated the Romish Church of the middle ages, and has substituted conformity for truth. It has en forced that conformity by bribes on the one hand, in the shape of rich preferments, and pe nalties, in the shape of exclusion from political rights, on the other. It has enforced, even with out teaching obedience. It has, as far as it could, compelled men to abnegate their judgment and their will, and has dwarfed them into moral insignificance, in order that the in stitutions of the Church might live on. The error which had rendered the education of the middle ages an abortion, was repeated at the Reformation, and a miserable mass of supersti tion, jargon, and absurdity, was subsequently, as before, taught and enforced at our Universities. There useful learning continues unlovely and unloved, and mind transmits to mind little more than the laborious barbarism which it has inhe rited. Conformity is still the main principle, but whether it be conformity to reason or su perstition, is a question of very doubtful nature. Individual man does not fashion society; it is mainly determined by the progress of popula tion. The same portion of the surface of the earth, for example, cannot subsist an equal number of hunters as of agriculturists; thus the number of mankind in relation to the sur face of the earth, determines at all times the pursuits and occupations of the majority of every society. A proper education for individuals in every age, subsiduary to the inculcation of the principles of justice, which are as old and more indestructible than the hills, must accordingly consist in training them, and developing their faculties consistently with the mass of the occu pations of society. In our country the great number of the people, compared to the surface of our island, has com pelled the mass of the community to engage in careful and minute agricultural occupations, and in minute manufactures, of which the great and striking feature is, that man enlists in his service a prodigious amount of mechanical power. When we look at the many sources from which the use of that power enables us to draw our subsistence, we cannot fail to adopt the conclusion, that the great progress of knowledge, in modern times, has been to enable man to overcome nature by studying her laws. If, about the sixteenth century, the importa tion into England of the fine arts and literature from a more advanced nation, the extraordinary discovery of America, the influx of the precious metals, and the improvement of agriculture, rendered it then fit and proper for the educa tion of the upper classes to be chiefly directed towards literature as a means of improvement, the different circumstances of society since have required a different education for those classes. But the system then established has been, with trifling alteration of detail, dogmatically adhered to; and the Universities have, to the utmost of their power, resisted all attempts to effect changes and improvements in education. They stand in the same relation to society now as the monasteries stood to society in the sixteenth century. While the circumstances of society have required a different education for the upper classes, our rulers have been only anxious to hold fast by ancient insti tutions, the form of which, at least, has been pre served, but man has been dwarfed into moral insignificance. The simple, but noble, and correct system of BACON and LOCKE, though it be vilified by mystics, teaches us that the mind is framed, corrected, and informed, by external objects. We refer to that as the ultimate standard of 411 truth. HENRY DE POMEROY. By MRS. BRAY. Author of " Whitehoods," " Trelawney," &c. in 3 vols. post Bvo, IS NOW READY AT ALL THE LIBRARIES.

To make it that as much as possible is the great object of communicating knowledge by the old and the instructed to the young and the igno rant. What, then, can be thought of a system of education for the upper classes, intended chiefly to preserve a conformity to ancient errors, and prevent the conformity of the mind . to existing changes in society? Is not that a miserable mass of superstitous jargon and absurdity ? and does not such a circumstance account for the slow improvement in the education of indivi duals, particularly the upper classes, while the progress of knowledge, far from being less than in the sixteenth century, has been, since then, rapid beyond example. There could not, of course, be much improvement in Latin, Greek, and logic; but in chemistry, in mechanics, in astronomy, geography, in all the useful arts and social sciences, the progress of the community in knowledge has been greater in the last than in any previous hundred years. In these ought the upper classes to be instructed, and of many of them they are kept in ignorance. These observations may enable the reader to form a tolerably correct notion of the value to the public of that Puseyite theology which is now causing a schism in the Church; of its value to the authors themselves that can onlybe estimated by their vanity and self-esteem. They are no doubt delighted with it on account of the pains it has cost, and the notoriety it has gained them. in the Threes, for 6,200,000 reals,. were done at 211 for cash, 22 9-16 for sixty days, and forty two bargains in the Fives for 25,640,000 reals, at 321 for cash, 332, 321, 34, 331, 34, at various dates, with the 10 coupons, and 201 for cash; 212 for sixty days, with the two coupons. There is no important news in the Paris Journals. ,A squabble which took place in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday relative to the Census, occupies a considerable portion of their leading columns. M. LESTIBOU- Do's having proposed an amendment upon the Census paragraph in the Address, the Minister DUCHATEL ascended the tribune for the purpose of showing how comparatively popular the mea sure was. Of course so matter-of-fact a Minister was expected to demonstrate his facts by COCKER Or DILWORTH, and Al. DUCHATEL, whose notions of correctness are always arithmetical, produced his returns. M. DUSSOLIER, an Opposition Deputy, thought such reasoning might be unsound, and asked permission to quote an instance. The Chamber readily, the President permissively, and M. DUCHATEL from the tribune smilingly, granted it. ' Thus encouraged, M. DUSSOLIER made his way to the tribune, ascended the steps, and only began to clear his throat fur an oration, when he found himself cheek by jowl with the Minister. He knew one municipality he said, where the majority were opposed to the census ; but where a contrary report had been made to the Minister, he at once ordered five hundred francs to be given to the hospital of the town, to reconcile the inhabitants to the report We learn from good authority that the ru- made to the Government.

The President shouted giant monopolies of food and sugar un- in chorus, rang his bell, and looked as nervous touched, and the • increase of the revenue is not as if he was under the influence of a third to be obtained from the augmented resources of bottle of Burgundy. M. DUCHATEL looked the people, then a property-tax will deserve, and will no doubt recei ve , th e most strenuous op- daggers at his companion in the t r ib une; b ut position. M.

THE ENEMIES OF IIdPROVEMENT.—" It;" said Mr. Christopher, " at the Meeting held at Bos ton, on Wednesday, of the _Boston Agricultural Association, " it were true that foreign corn could be bought for 265., the lowest maximum duty compatible with safety to agriculture ought to be, as he had before said, 30s. the quarter." Just in proportion, therefore, as the 'Americans, or any other people, by skill and care, may grow - , corn at a less and less cost, just so must the landed aristocracy insist on raising the duty and preventing the result of their exertions from reaching the people. Suppose the Americans were to pass a law, that, just in proportion as our manufacturers invented and improved machinery and produced cotton-cloth cheap, just in that proportion should the import duty on cotton cloth be raised in America. Should we not, would not all mankind say, such a system was a relic of the grossest ignorance and barbarity? Now, our Corn-law, as described by Mr. Chris topher, is still more foolish and mischievous than such a supposed law in the United States, inas much as food is more essential to existence and well-being than cotton-cloth. Mr. Christopher, at Boston, spoke of a clamour against the growers of corn. No such clamour has been got up or has existed. The clamour has been against the owners of rent, who have no more to do with growing corn than with preserv ing the sweetness of the atmosphere. GOOD AND BAD LA WS.—A writer in a Tory journal, one of your would-be sagacious philoso phers, observe s , " that almost all , our good law s are older than the Revolution of 1688. Almost all our bad laws have been enacted since that period." This philosopher forgets to mention how many very bad l aws, enacted pr i or to 1688, h ave b een abolished sin ce t h at per i o d. what law s we now have, of a p r i or period, have been carefully p re . served from amongst many b a d la ws , an d pre served because th ey are supposed to b e good. That a prodigious number of bad laws have b een passed sincel6BB we do not deny; many of the good laws, passed in the same period, are those which repealed the bad laws of a former period, and they are quite forgotten. The case may be il lustrated by a comparison with literature. A few books, of great worth, are selected and preserved from amongst the mass which the stream of time washes away. If a man were, therefore, to say that all the good books of the world were written before 1700, and that all the bad books have been written since, he would make a similar assertion Among the imp or t ant intelligence brought by the Levant Mail, is the following text of a treaty, concluded between Sir JOHN M'NEIL, the Eng lish Ambassador, and the SHAH of Persia : Art. 1. The merchants of the two mighty States are reciprocally permitted and allowed to carry into each other's territories their goods and manufac tures of every description, and to sell and exchange them in any town of the respective countries. And on the goods which they bring into, or carry out of the country, the same amount of customs du tiesptthrie3ea, peen which ihro b ynei nations demanded andxe,li kedoenpefctrmeo these, honrenst manner the , onm o no n ogs e dot n oe t mdf e as r i avtno n adu g ksre t en h ds h e oEau c l o tul t be made on the merchants of the high contracting parties on any pretext, or under any denomination ; and the merchants, or other persons, dependant on or connected with the high contracting parties, in each other's do minions, mutually shall enjoy the same aid and support, and the respect (or honour) which are enjoyed by the subjects of the most favoured nation. Art. 2. As it is necessary for attending to the affairs of the merchants of the two parties, respectively, that from both Governments commercial agents shotrad be appointed to reside in stated places, it is there fore arranged that two commercial agents on the part of the British Government shall reside, one in the capital and one in Tabreez, and in those places only, and on this condition, that he who should re side at Tabreez, and he alone, shall he honoured with the rank and privileges of Consul. But, as for a series of years a resident of the British Government has resided at the port of Busheer, the Persian Go vernment grants permission that the said resident shall reside there as heretofore, and in like manner two agents of the Persian Government shall reside, one in the capital of London, and one in the port of Bombay, and shall enjoy the same rank and privileges that the commercial agents of the British Government shall enjoy in Persia. " This commercial treaty we, the Plenipotentiaries of the two high contracting parties have agreed to, and in witness thereof, thereunto set our seals."

The principal intelli gence they bring is interesting to our mercantile classes. On the 3d instant, that portion of the PRESIDENT'S Message, which relates to the Tariff was referred to the Committee of mann factures in the House of Representatives, after a tie division by the Speaker's casting vote. The manufacturing interests are well represented in in the Committee, of which Mr. SALTONSTALL of Massachusets, is Chairman. An important meeting of Iron manufacturers of New Jersey had been held, at which instances were brought forward of the treatment of the United States, when they were English Colonies, to show that England had always endeavoured to prevent them from becoming a manufacturing people. The conclusion, however, was, all we ask, is a reciprocity—if England will close her ports against our produce, let us retaliate by levying duties on her manufactured articles. NICHOLAS BIDDLE, Jos. COWPERTHWAIT, SA MUEL JAUDON, JOHN ANDREWS, and THOMAS DUNLOP, had been charged with a conspiracy to defraud the stockholders of the Bank of the United States; and, except ANDREWS and Cow- PERTHWAIT, who did not appear, were held to bail in *lO,OOO each to appear before the Re corder. The Attorney-General of New York as sumes the direction of the prosecution. A Treasury Note Bill had been introduced, and proposes an issue, or re-issue of 5,000,009 dollars. The Bill, it is said, is certain to pass, as the majority on the first stage was 133 to 33, but the House of Representatives seemed in no disposition to hurry it to a conclusion. The pe cuniary embarrassments of the treasury continued. The Bill for establishing a Fiscal Agent, or, as it is now called, the Board of Exchequer Bill, bad been strongly opposed by Mr. WOODBURY, the ex-Secretary of the Treasury, and seems by no means popular. Attempts which have been made to promote repudiation in Pennsylvania have signally failed, not one repudiator was to be found in the licluse of Representatives. In Maryland a Bill has been reported, which provides for the resumption of payment of all notes and liabilities of the banks in twenty days after the passing of the Bill. A refusul to re deem, or the issue of post notes, forfeits the Chartei of the Bank. Governor SEWARD, of New York, had opened the Legislature of that State by a long Message, which is said to have agreeably surprised the people by the statement that the indebtedness of New York is only '17,000,000 dollars. It re commends some alterations in the banking sys tem. He disapproves of rechartering banks ; when the term of the charter expires, if the business of community requires the aid of another, a new one ought to be established. These Journals contain nothing additional of the Creole, or the right of search. The Illustrious left the Hudson on the 4th for Bermuda.

In the United States District Court at Portland, it has been decided that the tackle, apparel, and furniture of a foreign vessel wrecked upon our shore, and landed and sold separate from the hull, are not goods, wares, and merchandise imported into the United States within the meaning of the revenue laws. Also, that goods taken and landed from a foreign vessel wrecked upon the coast, are not subject to forfeiture under the 50th section of the Act of March 2, 1799, ch. 122, by being landed without a permit from the collector. The news from Venezuela was to the 14th September. The most profound tranquillity previdled throughout the Republic.

The Chronicle has a leading article on the subject of Dr. Gilbert's appointment to the Bishopric of Chiches ter, wherein our Contemporary observes that this ap pointment is a distinct declaration of the hostility of the present Ministry to the doctrines of the Puseyites—a most intelligent advertisement to the world, that while Sir Robert Peel is in power, Puseyism will not be the road to preferment in the Church. The Chronicle adds, that this will settle the question of Puseyism. The Times praises Sir Robert Peel for his appoint ment of Mr. Cresswell to the vacant Judgeship, ob serving, "a new election must, of course, take place for Liverpool, and although the existence of the Ministry would not be at all affected by the loss of the seat, yet a severe moral blow would be inflicted on Conservatism, were the Liberal party successful in returning their can didate. Sir R. Peel, therefore, runs a risk in enabling the Whig party again to contest the representation of the town ; but this does not for a single instant influ ence his Government in the selection of a person whom they consider in every way competent to administer the laws of the land." The Advertiser remarks, in an article on the subject of our commercial restrictions :—" Let the cry of industry be not for short time, but for plentiful food—not for mo nopoly, but for freedom of trade —not for restrictive laws, but ;or fair competition. Artificial regulations are com plicated and injurious. Our national level will speedily and certainly be attained by the withdrawal a the un righteous interference of legislation. What that level will be, it needs but little consideration to determine." The Post, alluding to the efforts of the Puseyites to strengthen the discipline of the Church, says :—" At the very time Wten it is quite evident that the greatest exertions of the Church are necessary; when an extra ordinary spirit of mental activity is abroad, w hi c h must produce immense results for good or for evil, according as it is guided by a devotional and reverential spirit or the contrary, the religious world would banish from the field of labour those who are willing to devote great learning and great talents, and to sacrifice anything or everything, for the good cause of the Christian Church." The .Herald comments on the Times' recent support of Puseyism, as a proof of its tergiversation, and ob serves, "there are not in the whol e range of modern periodicals any lectures in which the doctrine of sacri ficing principles to expediency, and the justification of means by their proposed ends, can be studied with greater effect than in the pages of the Tracts and - the broad sheet of the Times. The political tergiversations of the Journalist are, so to speak, kept in countenance by the religious backslidings of the Tractarians.? MONEY—TRADE—CONIMPRCE. From late inquiries into the condition of the working population of Stockport, it has been ascertained that the heads of no less than 1,150 families who are destitute of work, were brought from the agricultural districts. The hosiery and lace workmen at Nottingham are at this moment in a state of great excitement, conse quent upon the attempted reduction by the master manufacturers of their wages. No less than 6,375 persons were carried down by the Great Western Railway on the day of the christening. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

A Dutch galliot, sugar laden, from the West Indies was lost on the coast of Dungeness on Friday morning the Crew, of seven, were fortunately saved. Orders have been given for preparations to be in stantly commenced for- a grand review in Hyde Park, expected to be on a scale equally grand with that which took place before the Allied Sovereigns in 1814. A boat with nine men was lost off Derry a week ago ; another boat, with ten hands, is reported to have perished at Dungloe. LAW AND PO LICE, At Bow -street on Friday Michael Haplon, a City policeman, was fined 31., for assaulting, on the 24th instant, William Crispin, one of the keepers in St. James's Park, and also obstructing him in the perform ance of his duty. A young girl of the name of Sarah Lewes, in great distress, applied to Mr. Maltby at Marlborough-street, for his interference with the authorities in St. James's parish, that they might take her into the workhouse. Nicholson, the relieving officer, having been sent for stated that he knew nothing about the girl, but he would do as the officer of St. George's had done and give he r a shilling to go and sleep th at n i g ht i n the parish from - hich she had come last. " That will not do for me," Magistrate, " you must take h er i n ' now,' and if you do* not take her into the house immediately, will enforce stn.:- tly the provisions of the Act of Parliament, an d inflict the . 4'1411 lialty upon you.

He was ordered, of ;tnurse, to re fund the over-charge, and - at the same time his license was impounded. PINE ARTS. Several ancient tombs hi Lye just been discovered at Malta, containing urns, lac . hryrnatories, and sepulchral lamps. In one of them, net Civita Vecchia, a quantity of pulverised dust was found, and among it the strange relic of a v hale, nearly sevc al feet in length, with frag ments of other bones. To hind a monster of this species in the centre of an islanct in the Mediterranean sea waters, where the living whale was never found, is ac counted very extraordiivary by the Maltese geologists. LITERARY JUTE SCZENTITIC. The moon exhibited a very beautiful phenomena on rriday morning in E pgland, which was 91served 0149 We may well say with a French Journalist that the question of the census appears fated to raise storms. Of , the tempests produced by it in the provinces our file for the last year contains a painful and disastrous record. It excited in the French Chamber - of Deputies, on Wed nesday a hurricane hardly less disastrous than agitated so long the quiet city of Toulouse. When the article in the Address relating to it was under discussion, the Minister of the Interior boasted of the comparative po pularity of the measure. Another Deputy rose to cor rect him, confusion ensued, and the President putting on his hat rushed out of the Chamber. We will here quote the observations of a few of Thursday's journals relative to this affair : The Courrier Francais says :—" Amongst the most dramatic, if not the most important, incidents of the sitting on Wednesday, was the circumstance which in terrupted the studied speech of the Minister of the In terior. K Duchatel boasted of having obtained the con sent, or rather the silence, of 37,000 municipal councils to the operations of the census, when M. Dussolier de manded to speak in order to controvert the Minister's assertions. The President and the Chamber had a right to object to this interruption, but after having authorised this digression, the matter ought to have been suffered to take its course. The trial was too severe for the impar tiality of the Centres, and for the firmness of M. Sauzet. They permitted M. Dussolier to state, that when it was falsely reported that the municipal council of Noutron had agreed to the form of taking the census, the Minister of the Interior presented 500 f. to the charitable fund of the town, but when the Hon. Deputy wished to add that the fact having been contradicted, the gift was w ithd rawn , the cries of th e Ministerial Deputies drowned his voice. We shall not'attempt to describe the scene which en sued. M. Dussolier scaling the tribune to maintain his right—the President called upon by the C entres, and calling the orator to order—the Opposition alone pre serving a calm and dignified demeanour, in the midst of the awful confusion which prevailed—the Deputies, in fine, quitting their places, and thus compelling M. Sauzet to adjourn a debate which he was incompetent to direct. The President's incapacity was never exhibited in a more prominent manner, and the Ministers had reason to re gret the concession they made to their equivocal friends of the left centre, by adopting such a candidate." The Presse after regreting the affair remarks :—" In order to do all parties justice, we must observe that we have already accused M. Sauzet of being deficient in the most essential qualities of a President, and it would appear that he was determined to give the most extraordinary proof of the justice of our observation. His conduct during the disturbance in the Chamber was beneath description. Never was any Pre sident so deficient in energy. M. Sauzet exercises no influence over the assembly. It was solely his fault that the public time was totally lost on Wednesday, and in this assertion we shall be borne out by the testimony of every member who was present." The Univers observes that the question of the census is decidedly fatal to good order. It excited a Parlia mentary disturbance in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, as it excited popular riots throughout the country. The debate was proceeding heavily, and ap peared about to close, when a scene took place in the Chamber nearly as scandalous as that which occurred last year during the debate on the address. A Member of the Opposition, M. Dussolier, having endeavoured to keep possession of the tribune against the President's declaration that he was out of order, M. Sauzet was at length obliged to put on his hat and adjourn the debate. The Moniteur Parisien states, that out of 223 National Guards composing the company of which M. Dupoty, the editor of the Journal du Peuple, was an officer, 85 only presented themselves to elect an officer in his room. Of these 53 voted for M. Dupoty. " The Mayor could not proclaim the validity of this election," continues the Moniteur Parisien, " for the very best reason, M. Dupoty having incurred the loss of civil rights by the sentence of the Court of Peers, he was no longer entitled to serve in the National Guard as an officer, or even as a private." It must gall the King excessively to find, on the part of his darling National Guards, such an open contempt for the assumed prerogatives of the Cour; of Peers.
