At the Annual E • PPlng Agricultural Meetin, on - Friday, the President, H. J. ComrEus, Esq. , I alluded in the following terms, according to the Essex Herald, to th e present condition o f - agri culture : Last year I told you I hoped the Corn -laws wou ld not be altered. I hope, as Si r R o b ert Peels F! d that he is not a class man, and that he d oes not loo k i l otht.. right or to the left, but to the nati on at large ; and I hope in Leh t he has done we shall not feel ourselves injured or eeceived. I hope we shall see the cloud passing by- 7 --1 can say no more than this, that I hop e we shall see better times, for I consider the present times very gloomy and very miserable for the agrieur tural interest ; but within the last week things have got a little better, and I consider the news which England has received on the subject of peace with America, one of the greatest things for this nation; for if we had l'cen obli,..;ed to. go to war with that country where should . We have been then ? I hope Sir Robert Peel has . done what he thought right for the good of the nation ,and that w h a t h e has done will be found to have that (-Feet. I hope Providence—fur as I said to fir Robert reel, we have two P's, Providence and Peel—l hope Providence will give prosperity to the lauded interest, and that I shall have the happiness of meeting you next year underibetter circumstances. There is testimony, then, to the fact that the landed interest is beginning to grumble. The injury itr - has done , to others is now returning into its own boamn. Its calamities, however, are only beginning. The hopes entertained by. Mr: CONYERS, that things are getting a little better, are dashed to the ground by the fall in Monday's. markets. The peace with America, on which he relies, and which he justly praises, is an excellent measure ; but unfortunately for England it is ac companied by a tariff, which, he may learn from yesterday's Sun, and from another part of our present impression, will have a fatal effect on our trade. The advices from the manufacturing districts are held in the City to be very unfavour able. Not only does the continued turn-out check consumption, but we are told that it in duces foreigners to withhold orders or carry them elsewhere. The price of agricultural pro duce is likely, therefore, to sink still lower and cause still more " gloomy and more miserable times for the agricultural interest" than it now experiences. It is a somewhat curious coincidence that the average rate of duty at which 2,457,931 qrs. of wheat have been imported under the new scale was Bs. 4or within Id. of the fixed duty pro posed by MiC i Arhigs. Being brought in on the eve of our thin harvest, which has turned out almost infinitely better than the bad seed-time experienced last year induced persons to ex pect, that quantity has brought agriculture into its present " very gloomy and very miserable" condition. Had the Whigs succeeded in carry ing their fixed duty, an equal, and probably a greater, quantity of corn would have been im ported. It - might not have come all at once, like the importation under the sliding scale ; some of it would have been brought in before the period when the duty under the present scale sunk to Bs., and some of it the holders at that period would have kept in bond, certain that they ran no risk of not being able to enter it hereafter at the same rate ofduty. The fixed duty, too, might have given a greater impulse to our trade than the sliding scale; but this would have been about balanced in its effect on prices by the greater quantity of corn imported. As the agriculturists are suffering now and complaining, they would have suffered under the Bs. fixed duty ; and the Whigs, had they been successful, would have had to bear the odium of ruining the agriculturists. Their opponents would have made no allowance for the harvest; all the blame of the reduced prices would have been ascribed to their measure, and they would have become ten times more unpopular than at present. They may now be thankful that they did not succeed, as we are, for the blame of injuring the agriculturists can not now be shifted from the Corn-laws. That the Whigs did not succeed has rescued them from the unpopularity of ruining the poor agri culturists, which will now fall on the devoted heads of their rivals. the ground is to be cultivated on the fourfold Essex system, or on the Scotch system ? Agri culture, like other arts, sprung up as society ad. vanced, and it is trespassing tco much on our credulity for the Parliament man to tell us that our manufacturers must submit to be ruined by his laws intended to promote agriculture, because man is obliged to labour for his subsistence. A Tory journalist found out yesterday that agriculture was preferable to manufactures, be cause it was the parent of steady and regular habits. Such an assertion must be made to serve a purpose, for anything more contrary to fact cannot well be conceived. The agricul turist has in winter little or nothing to do, and he goes hunting or poaching, or would go if he were allowed, because he has no occupation. In other seasons he labours, as in hay time and harvest, sixteen hours a day. His labours de pend, too, on the weather as well as the seasons, and he sometimes begins his day by sowing, and then the rain drives him into the barn to thrash. If the barn-floor be occupied, he may make hurdles ; and if there be no hurdles wanted, he may go to sleep, or go to the alehouse. His oc cupations are neither continuous nor certain, while the bulk of the artisans, excluding brick layers, stonemasons, &c., working under shelter, go day after day to their labour by the cluck, and leave off work as the clock strikes. The machines on which artisans depend, are models of regularity ; the weather, which forms the habits of the agriculturists, is proverbially uncertain. If the assertion that agriculture is favourable to steady and regular habits, as con trasted with manufactures, be not made with a view to deceive, it is the offspring of unobserving ignorance. It is, however, on such grounds as that it is man's first duty to cultivate the ground, and that cultivating the ground gives steady habits, that our manufacturers are to be malevo lently doomed to decay, by those who claim respect and obedience from manufacturers as their protectors and guardians. We publish in another place a brief history, written by an English officer, of the circum stances which led the Boers of Natal to leave the colony of the Cape of Good Hope. It agrees with much which we had previously heard, and and is confirmed by the proclamation published by the Boers themselves. From both documents it appears that they left the colony after giving notice of their intention, assigning their reasons for their conduct, and receiving the sanction of the Lieutenant-Governor of the colony. He said, according to the Boers, that " it was an in.. dubitable right that a man, not satisfied with the, administration of a Government, had liberty to abandon it." We cannot part company from Squire CON. YERS, till we have directed the reader's attention to his almost blasphemous alliteration : ".4s I said to Sir R. PEEL, we have two P's—Provi. dence and PEEL." In the mind of the Squire, therefore, and probably in the minds of kin dred squires, PEEL and Providence were, some months back, placed on the same level. They were expected to be equally efficacious in saving and aggrandising the agricultural state, and they were equally honoured by the squires. The flattery of the Frenchman, who placed on the statue of BONAPARTE the inscription " Voila mon Dieu," was a bold piece of impiety; but it is nearly equalled, in all but its boldness, by the sneaking impiety of Squire CONYERS. An old and respectable officer, long since dead, we believe, who used to say that nobody looked after the Eurydice but GOD ALMIGHTY and GEORGE LUMSDAIN, was considered a profane man in times much less chary of speech than at present ; and what then will be thought of a squire —one of our pattern men—who can flatter Sir R. PEEL by telling him that the nation has two P's—Providence and PEEL ? " Man-worship," said Mr. VINCENT, in a speech delivered a few days ago, addressing the work ing classes, " has been your bane ;" and now that man-worship has been scouted by the work ing classes, it is adopted by the squires. LITERATURE. QUARTERLY RE VIE W. No. XL. Murray, London.! The question whether Mr. Pitt excelled in written composition as well as in oratory, which ' has been often discussed, and on which no de cisive opinion has hitherto been pronounced, has at length been set at rest,by the publication of his official correspondence with the Duke of Rut land, who was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ire land in 1784, about a year or two after Pitt's first accession to power. This correspondence, of which an able notice appears in the Number before us, exhibits the illustrious statesman quite in a new light—namely, as a vigorous a d graceful writer, whose style has all that suc cinctness and felicity ofexpression which is seldom arrived at, except by continual practice. Among his letters to the Duke is one, dated 1786, wherein, alluding to a peerage which his Grace requested him to bestow on a mutual friend, he says :—" A variety of circumstauees have un avoidably led me to recommend a larger addition to the Brilish peerage than I like, or than I think quite creditable ; and I am on that account very desirous not to increase it now farther than is absolutely necessary." This passage is not a little remarkable, when we bear in mind that it was writteu by a Premier, who, at a subsequent period, increased the peerage to a greater extent than any two of his successors. " Pitt's inuso rooms" was a phrase of the day in every one's mouth, and %%as strictly applicable to not a few of his new creations, by whose means chiefly it was that he carried his favourite project of the Irish Union. From the above passage we see that in recommending such a multiplication of honours, he did considerable violence to his own feelings, arid yielded only to the force of in exorable circumstances. Of' his correspondent, the Duke of Rutland, little need be said. He was no great politician, but, nevertheless, he made a highly popular Lord-Lieutenant, being possessed of many of those showy qualities which the Irish like; his nature was frank and social, his munificence and hospitality un bounded; his address was conciliatory to a degree ; and his love of conviviality so great, that he fell a victim to it at the early age of thirty three. If we remember rightly, Wraxall has related many pleasant festive anecdotes of him in his Memoirs; and his character shows to great advantage in Crabbe's Life, prefixed to the last edition of his poems. " Marshal Blucher" is an interesting review of a bio graphical memoir of this veteran warrior, pub lished recently at Leipsig, from which it appears that he was born in 1742, and served through the latter part of the famous seven year's war, under the Great Frederick. He was con sequently far advanced in life, when, on the general rising in Germany against—TNapoleon's despotism, he took the command of the Prussian forces; but few, if any, among his younger military contemporaries, exhibited more energy and decision of character. He was brave as a lion, an adroit and ready tactition, and, as Bona parte observed of the British soldiery, never knew when lie was beaten. " His jests," says the Reviewer, "frequently of a description ill calculated for chaste ears, extorted grim smiles from lips black with the cartridge, and sent laughter through the column, while grape-shot was tearing its ranks. When he checked his horse in the hottest cannonades to light his pipe at the linstock of the gunner, the piece was, pro bably not the worse served. Towards the close of the campaign in France, the infirmities of age at one moment almost induced him to contem plate the abandonment of his command, and to retire into the Netherlands; but the spirit tri umphed over the flesh, and though unable to remain in the saddle for the last attack on Mont martre, he gave his orders with calmness and precision from a carriage. His appearance on this occasion must have taxed the gravity of his staff, for, to protect his eyes, then in a state of violent inflammation, the grisly vetern had re placed his cocked-hat by a French lady's bonnet and veil !" We quote an amusing extract, re specting Blucher and Wellington, while engaged in the battle of Waterloo But now, it is assumed in the contest with them, that no man can throw off his allegiance to a Government, and that once a slave, he must for ever remain a slave. We think it be comes all men to protest against such a doctrine. Weknow that it is fashionable—that it is insisted on in the case of our seamen, but that does not make it just. A Government is established for the benefit of all the people, and if some of them find that it is not fur their benefit, they have, so the Lieutenant-Governor said, an in dubitable right to shake off its authority. The contrary principle asserts that man is made for government, not government for man. It is a relic of the imperial despotism of old Rome, which ought not to be tolerated amongst us; and if, on this ground, Lord STANLEY has decided on reducing the Boers to subjection, England has allowed her Minister to engage her in a career of injustice. " The 18th saw Blucher again in the saddle. at the head of BuloW's newly-arrived division, urging its onward course, and his own, like Milton's griffin through the wilderness, cheering the march-worn troops till the defile of St. Lambert rang to his old war-cry and soubriquet Forwards'—reminding them of the rain which had spared so much powder at the Katzbach, and telling them of the promise of assist ance which he stood pledged to redeem to th e Eng lish. Nobly, indeed, was that promise redeemed, and the utter ruin of the French army is to be ascribed to that assistance. Ungrateful we should be not to acknowledge such service, though we cannot subscribe to the theories, whether French or Prussian, which gave it the full merit of saving from destruction an army which had, while as yet unsupported, repuised every attack and annihilated the French cavalry. We know that no thought of so disastrous a result crossed the minds of those about the Duke's person, and that officers of his staff who left the field wounded towards the close of the action, did so with no other feeling of anxiety than for the personal safety of him they left behind. His servants, who, in the village of 'Waterloo, had the opportunity of witnessing the inci dents of the rear of such a battle—which try the nerves more than those of the fray itself—knew their master well. The manoeuvres of the kitchen were conducted with as much precision as those of the Foot-guards at St. James's. Reign what confusion there might in the avenue of Soignies, there was none in the service of the Duke's table, and the honour of the Vattel of his establishment was preserved free from stain as his own. The opinions concerning the American tariff, which we quoted yesterday from the Leeds Mercury, are shared, we see, by the Glasgow Argus. That journal says : The new duties are, in point of fact, prohibitory against numerous and important articles of British trade, and they have given rise to the most seri o u s apprehensions, in regard to the future, both in Glas gow and Manchester. We know of one house in this city that ship from 40,0001. to 50,0001. value every spring and fall, who declare that they will be com pelled to abandon the trade, and only refrain from doing so in the meantime because the provisions of the tariff are so monstrous that the American Govern ment can scarcely persist in them permanently. An other house has cancelled orders to the extent of 15,000 pieces printed cottons and de-laines ; and we have heard, also, of large orders for ginghams, and other articles of manufacture, being in like manner countermanded. These are specimens of the " benefits" conferred by the new tariff upon Glasgow ; and we might proceed to enumerate many others. We pre fer, however, to make way for the following letter, which we have received from Mr. John Pattison, of this city, a gentleman who is extensively engaged in the trade with the United States, and whose views, as being those of a practical merchant, are deserving of attention. From Mr. PATTISON'S letter we take two ex- tracts : To give you some idea how the new duties will affect the manufacturing interests of Glasgow and Paisley, I will shortly state, that printed muslins and all moderate printed cottons, of which the great bulk of the trade consisted, are virtually prohibited, such cottons, twenty-four inch wide, now paying six cents or three pence the yard duty ; Delaines, or cotton and woollen mixed goods, pay same as cottons. Ginghams, nine cents, or five pence the square yard; Madras and Verona handkerchiefs, say 120 per cent. to 150 per cent. duty ' • muslins, 71 cents, or 3.-',d.. square yard; silk goods, or of which silk is a compo nent part, two dollars and a half per lb. of 16 oz. ; so that a Paisley silk and cotton shawl, which weighs about a pound, and costs 6s. to 75., will pay a duty of ten shillings ! Iron will now pay from 55 to 65 per cent. To add to the severity of the law, all the duties are to be paid cash down on entry. To sell, under the old and moderate duties, if you got any profit, you were compelled to give a credit of eight months ! I cannot help thinking that this prohibitory measure has been called forth by a spirit of RETALIATION, springing Fro Fro m t h o e u ttaol talent n S t i r displayedß . Peel's b tariff. the Presidenty * in * his Message on the V e t o -- t h e modera th ti e on and go o d esent sense evinced by Mr. W e b s ter—and feel ing of the American people generally—there no doubt that, had Sir Robert Peel proposed acanbe mode ratefixed duty on bread stuffs, he would h ave o b tained a commercial treaty on the most fair and liberal terms —an arrangement which would have proved highly beneficial to the great landed interests of America— east, west, and south—as well as of vast importance to their mercantile marine—and it would have saved our manufacturers from the ruin that threatens them. The treaty of Lord Ashburton is all very well, and no wise or good man can object to it; but frightful as war is, it were better for our mercantile and manu facturing interest, in a pecuniary point of view, to be so engaged, than to be thus shut out from a market our necessities so loudly called for. Our friends in Canada, however, have good cause to rejoice —they will have a rich harvest to gather in supplying the smugglers of the United States. Whether the Tories meant to destroy our trade with America or not, and, from what their journals have said the world will give them credit for meaning it, they are accomplishing that object. Till Sir ROBERT PEEL took it into his head to modify the tariff and the Corn-law, and modi fied them as if he had intended to keep out the produce of the United States—for none of his changes are beneficial to them—the American Government and people might nourish some hopes that English statesmen would consult the best interests of their own country, which is also the interest of America. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tariff and Corn-law have put an e nd to all tho se hopes, and are the true parents of the Am erican tariff. O ur trade was suffering before fron t our own legislation, and now it is doomed to suffer still more bahly h ave tl ? so that the Tories will pro le satisfa c ti on o f d e populating half our manufacturing towns. manufactures, th To ju s tif y their malevolent designs against they ut forth s ome o f t h e strangest reasons imaginabl e. re joices in represen,taintgulthe Essex agri cu lt ur i sts i n Parliament, said A Mr. P ALMER , who day, that it is the first e d E ut p y p a in n g d m the e e t first o n labourF ri imposed on man by the ALMTGRTY, • d, a duty and a labour that '. h i e s hould cultivate the growl of which man, in some stages of his existence, PALMER mea n th a t , has no conception. Does Mr. The war seems, we deeply' regret to say, likely to be carried on in a manner which the whole civilized world will condemn. The arm ing the Indians during the American war has always been held to be a disgrace to our country, The Dutch Boers, say certain busy agents, are instigating the Kafir tribes against us, either to their own or our misfortune." Colonel CLOETE says, in his dispatch, that the Kafirs would plunder the Boers as soon as his troops with draw. In remonstrating against employing them to make war on the Boers, he implies that em ploying them had been contemplated. To wage a war against the emigrants, in order to compel them to return under our dominion, and to carry on that war by the aid and assistance of savages, will be to inflict on Great Britain an indelible disgrace. " That he ever returned to eat the dinner so pre pared was certainly not due to any avoidance of per sonal exposure on his own part. Of Buonaparte's conduct in that respect on this his last field-day we have seen no account on which we could rely. We have no doubt of his sang froid under fire ; but whe ther Waterloo witnessed its conspicuous display we are ignorant. On divers celebrated occasions he is known to have abundantly exposed himself; but in general he would seem to have been as free as our own commander from the vulgar ostentation of court ing danger, and in most of his greater battles there was little call for it. We have heard that Bertrand, at St. Helena, set much store by an opera glass had discovered the English We believe that neither the through General Duke nor his staff succeeded at any moment of the action in identifying the person or exact position of his great opponent, though few great battles have brought rival leaders so near. That our chief was everywhere except in the rear is well known ; and the casualties among his own staff, of whom many were hit at his side, bespeak the hot service he went through. Danger pursued him to the last. After sixteen hours in the saddle, he was alighting at his own quarters, when the spirited animal, long after wards a pensioner in the paddocks of strathfieldsaye, as if conscious of the termination of his labours, jerked out his heels in a faslion which a slight change of direction might have made fatal to his late rider. Such an exploit would have rendered poor Copen hagen rather more famous than the little gentleman in black velvet, so often toasted in our Jacobite revels of the last century." In speaking incidentally of the battle of Waterloo, the Reviewer takes the opportunity of exposing some of Mr. Alison's mis-statements on the sub j ect, in his "Hist o ry of the French Re volution," and in reference to his assertions that the Duke occasionally threw himself into a square, and, in consequence of the severe loss amongthe day, i to the . his staff, " was obliged, in the close of casual assistance of a Portu guese, who stood near, to carry the most neces sary ordersr —in reference to these assertions the Reviewer observes, " We are able to assure Mr. Alison that the story, however generally current, of the Duke's occasionally flinging him self into a square, is a fiction. He never once was in that position throughout the battle of the 18th. For Portuguese read Piedmontese. The young gentleman in question was of the family of De Sails, a subject of the Sardinian Govern ment, and in its service. The mission he under took was one of danger, for his uniform made him liable to be taken for a Frenchman by the brigade to whi c h he carried the Duke's order to advance. " Were you ever in battle before ?" said the Duke. " No, sir." "Then you are a lucky man, for you will never see such another." The Reviewer next proceeds to com ment on the historian's statement that the Duke of Wellington was surprised by Napoleon, and proves, we think, quite satisfactorily, that the statement is wholly withouttoundation. " Poems by Alfred Ten n yson" is a favourable notice of the works of the most promising young poet of the day, whose " Locksley Hall"—a production full of original beauty—displays much of that force of expression and fervor of emotion, which we find in N. of the minor poems of Lord Byron. •L'ir- Tennyson has all the luxuriant imagary o f • Reates, without any of his effemi nate sensibilit y, and wilful caprices of rhyme. He feels strongly, ) and occasionally evinces much subtle power of thought; but he_should beware of dabblin g in metaphysics, which is the rock on which Coleridge split. The " Orestea of Eschy lus" is evidently the production of a sound clas sical scholar, and of one, too, - whose heart is in his subject. "Policy of Sir Robert Peel" has already been noticed in The Sun. It is unm ea _ sured praise throughout, and even defends the Income-Tax, on the grotintts of its "novelty," and "objectionable character." Objectionable enough, it is, God knows; but as to its ," no velty," it is s g far from being novel, that it- i s neither more nor less than a State plagiarism from the Whigs. THE SUN, LONDON, WE EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2l, 1842. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—The Queen and Prince Al bert enjoyed their early walk in the Slopes as usual this morning. In the afternoon the Royal party left the Castle for a drive in the Great Park ; her Majesty and the Prince in a pony phaeton, his Royal Highness driving ; followed by the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Lady in Waiting, and the Hon. Misses Paget and Stanley, the Maids of Honour in Waiting, in a pony carriage. The Equerries in Waiting, General Wemyss Bouverie, at tended her Majesty and the Prince on horseback. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal have been taken their accustomed airing to-day. Accounts of the state of the health of his Majesty the King of Hanover have been received in town up to Friday last. His Majesty had recovered from the effects of his recent illness, and intended to take his departure from Dusseldorf on the following day, Sa turday, the 17th inst., on his return to llanover. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, accompanied by his Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and attended by Baroness Ahle feldt, arrived in town yesterday afternoon from Kew. Baroness de Moncorvo, the Portuguese Minister, and Baron Brunow, the Russian Minister, visited the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister, and Mr. Colquhoun, Diplomatic Agent for the Hanse Towns, transacted business at the Foreign -office yesterday. The Earl of Aberdeen has returned to town from Scotland. THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I am requested by his Highness the Duke of Brunswick to apprise you that the extract pub lished by you in your paper of to-day, as if taken from the Lancaster Guardian, containing some state ments in which his Highness is made mention of, is wholly untrue and without foundation, and would seem to have resulted from some malignant purpose. The editor of the paper first publishing the statement complained of, exposes himself obviously to the sus picion of being aware of the falsehood thereof. I trust, therefore, you will see the expediency of publishing a denial in accordance with this intimation. His Highness has directed legal proceedings to be in stituted against the promoters of the scandal. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Baron AUDLAN ' Equerry to his Highness. 38, Bryanstone-square, Sept. 20, 1842. Au. SAINTS INFANT AND SUNDAY SCHOOLS, ISLING TON.—On Monday last a very neat and commodious building, near the end of Southampton -street, Pen tonville, was opened for schools for the use of the children of the poor of this district. A meeting was held on the occasion, at which H. Pownall, Esq., pre sided, and which was attended both numerously and respectably. It was stated that the total expense of the building and fittings-up was 6001., of which sum 570/. had been raised; the annual expenses, however, would be 701., and the annual subscriptions at present were only 301. The Vicar of the parish, the Rev. D. Wilson, observed, that the district comprised 6,400 souls, and was the poorest of the nine districts of Islington, and this was (so far as he knew) the first and only school for the poor ever erected within it. The Rev. J. Hambleton, minister of the chapel of ease, also remarked that the late Vicar, the present Bishop of Calcutta, used to call Bell Isle (within this district), the Kaffraria of Islington. The Rev, Mr. Child, in a neat address, congratulated the meeting on having, by completing the building, arrived at " the end of the beginning," and urged them to follow up their good and hallowed effort. "It is in paro chial schools," said the Reverend Gentleman, " that the battle of the Church is now to he fought." At the close of the meetinc , the Vicar announced, that 20/. had been contributed by those on the platform towards the deficiency of 301.; and, as he supposed the company would not like to be limited to making up the remaining 101., their contributions beyond that sum would go towards the annual expenses. The amount collected eventually reached 351., enabling the school to open clear of debt. bredket afterin thi T s city ere t h w e a s l a m r ; e s s t t i p n r fl o u b x a b o l t y o a a t ts :t e 'e v e s t r e r r d e a m y e ' m s any harvest, and in general the samples are of superior quality.

His Grace the Archbishop of ARMAGH has — as was to be expected from a BERESFORD—been entering his earnest and deliberate protest against the National System of Education esta blished in Ireland by the late Government. At his annual visitation of the diocese of Armagh, held in that city on Thursday last, his Grace thus expressed himself on the subject :—" The Established Church of the country must always feel interested in the education of the people, and it was but natural to expect that when the Government was about to establish a national system, they would have consulted with that Church ; but such was not the case. The system was established without consulting the heads of the National Church. He never objected to the Government giving the best education they could, and he would not now object to it; but he must be left free to either dissent from, or approve of, any system which might be adopted. The Esta- • blished Church could not approve of the National • System ; they had strong objections to it. A child might be sent to the schools con nected with it, and receive secular instruction, while at the same time he received no reli gious instruction at all. They never could give up the Protestant principle of Scriptural edu cation. They would never allow any one to say who should, or who should not, read Gon's word. It was the right of all, and as ministers of religion, they could never submit to such dictation." The reason of the Archbishop of ARMAGH'S opposi tion to the late Government education system is very evident. It is of too Catholic; a character to suit the intolerant views of a high Church man. Were it otherwise—were the system established on a narrow, instead of a wide basis; were its primary objects to encourage a hostile spirit towards Popery, and an unbounded rever ence for the prejudices, privileges, perquisites, &c., of Mother Church, then the Archbishop of ARMAGH would no doubt be found in the ranks of its warmest advocates; but because the system happens to have for its principal aim, the reconciling instead of the fomenting of diffe rences between the Protestant and Catholic, it is honoured by the special hostility of this efferves cing Prelate. As for his Grace's remark that the Church " would never give up the Protestant principles of Scriptural education," we all know what that means. A firm, inflexible faith i❑ th e pleasant doctrines of the divinity of tithes; a readiness to swallow off-hand, and, if possible, digest, the whole Thirty-nine Articles; the encouragement of an inveterate hatred for dissent, and of an ardent admiration of every thing orthodox and canonical ;—the enforc ing of these views and feelings constitutes, jin the eyes of a high Churchman, the. " Protestant principle of Scriptural education," and hence receives the august sanction of the Archbishop of ARMAGH. But we tell this over zealous Prelate that such a system of education, no matter how warmly it may be patronised by Mother Church and her ghostly staff of Arch bishops and Bishops, Deans and Sub-Deans, Ca nons and Minor Canons, Archdeacons, Pre bendaries, and Pluralists of all sorts and sizes, will never again find favour in the eyes of Par liament or the people. Henceforth, a national system of education to be popular, must be ca tholic in its character, and have for its chief ob ject the toleration of all sects and creeds. It must countenance no sycophantic pandering to the prejudices of starch and rigid orthodoxy ; no playing into the hands of priestcraft; for the days of bigotry are well nigh over, notwithstand ing that Doctor Pim.PorTs still lives and thrives. The writers in the French journals display bad taste and still worse judgment in their dis quisitions on the treaty concluded between this country and the United States. They seem ab solutelyat a loss to form anything like a decided opinion on the subject, at one time asserting that England has been lowered a peg, to gratify their jealousy of her power, and at another, praising the activity and devotedness of her statesmen to their country and her interests, in order to make an attack upon their own Government, and especially Louts PHILIPPE. " England," says one, " always ready to draw the sword when her demands are resisted, has just proved by her treaty with the United States that she knows how to yield opportunely, and that her pride can bend before her embarrass ments—this is a lesson—a hint to us. - Whence arises the difference between the two countries? In two words it may be stated to be that the American Cabinet depends on its strength at home against foreign Powers, and the French Cabinet needs foreign assistance to resist what it finds at home." It is really impossible to discover by any of their remarks whether they consider the treaty good or bad for England, but ° judging from the acrimony which pervades the articles, we infer that England has acted wisely, and that their only cause of regret is that the dispute was not prolonged till some unforeseen events should unite France and America against this country. This, to say the least of it, does not display any great magnanimity or great con fidence in the power of France; for while they boast of their vast armies, and well-equipped fleet, they seem at the same time very anxious to have a few ofJONATHAN'S ships to assist them in a war with England. France, from her posi tion, her large population, and the bravery of her troops, is sufficiently powerful to act I her own part without the aid of strangers; and writers therefore, who by trusting to American co-operation, throw doubts on that point, cannot be called men of high moral courage or good patriots. The right of search, however, is the great topic of discussion, and their uneasiness as regards the question is evidently not a little in creased by a consciousness of having first pro posed a convention for the suppression of the slave trade, and after arrangements had been made, turninground and breaking faith with this country. They now contend that the treaties of 1831 and 1833 are annulled, and call upon their Go vernment to place France, as regards the slave trade, on the same footingas America. Without ad - miffing their claims, however, we may say that if the principles agreed to in the treaty were adopted by all other nations, the slave trade would be annihilated in twelve months. England and America are to keep a number of ships on the African coast, carrying at least 160 guns. Let France, and Spain, and Russi a , an d a ll ot h er countries that profess a wish to put down the abominable traffic, furnish their quota, and we should then have a fleet such as the world never saw, engaged in a sacred cause, and fully ade quate to capture or destroy every slaver that appeared on the coast. If a general plan of this kind were adopted, England and America, who were the first to denounce the slave trade, would have the honour and the glory of sealing its fate. i We have received Madrid letters and papers to the 12th. Notwithstanding the various ru mours as to a probable change of Ministry, the general opinion is that the Cabinet will undergo no modification until the opening of the Cortes. The resignation of M. CALATRAVA, the Minister of Finance, is no longer talked of, as it is said that he has succeeded in obtaining some funds wherewith lo pay the employes of the State. The English Secretary of Legation at Lisbon is ex pected at Madrid, but it is not thought that his visit is in any way connected with a diplomatic mission. Letters from Cordova mention a disgraceful collision as having taken place between the Na tional Guard and the Municipality, on the occa sion of the election of some officers. Out-of 23 of the municipal councillors 16 have given in their resignations. The Government is making strict investigation into the affair. Mr. SOUTHERN, Secretary to the British Lega tion in Lisbon, was expected in Madrid; but It does not appear that he had been charged with any political mission. The 3 per Cents. were done at 211 e at 00 days, for 2,600,000 reals, and the 5 per Cents. at 274 s 13-16 15-16 u at 60 days, for 14,400,000 reals. We have received the French Papers of the 19th instant. The only topic discussed is the treaty concluded between England and Ame rica, and the writers seem determined to make the most of it. The Sentinelle of Toulon, dated the 16th inst., states that the Ville de Marseilles ship-of-the-line, which is to convey. Baron DE LANGSDORF, the French Minister Pleni potentiary, to Rio Janeiro, was likewise to assist at the fetes which are to be celebrated there on the occasion of the marriage of the Emperor PEDRO 11. with a Princess of the Royal Family of Naples. Another ship of the line, on board of which it was believed that Ad miral CASEY would hoist his flag, was likewise to proceed to the Brazils from Brest. The Sen tinelle adds, that the Belle Pottle frigate, under the command of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, would also leave for that destination. One of the sisters of the EMPEROR, who is said to be affianced to the Prince, is to take passage in Admiral CasEv's ship, and their marriage will be celebrated on their arrival in Paris. The following are extracts: — The Moniteur has no official part. A pretty extensive pamphlet, by General Bugeaud, is to be published to-day by the bookseller, Dentu, entitled L' Algerie Desmoyens de conserver et d'utiliser cette Conquete. The name and the situation of the author give great importance to this pamphlet, and the clear, frank, and military style in which the questions are treated render it still more interesting.— Le Constitutionel. The Madrid Journals of the 12th are uninteresting. The Patriota says that M. Olozaga will return to Madrid by the opening of the Cortes. The Barcelona Journals are to the 13th. They continue to discuss the question of smuggling. The Impartial is alarmed at the decision by which the Director-General of the Customs of Catalonia permits the importation of certain foreign goods, in the manu facture of which some cotton is used.--Le Commerce.

THE NEW BOUNDARY LINE.-Mr. Wyld, Charing cross, has brought out a sketch of the north-eastern boundary dispute between Great Britain and the United States, in which are laid down the lines ori ginally claimed by the respective countries, and the line fixed by the late treaty. It will be seen that by this arrangement the boundary awarded by the late King of Holland is closely adhered to, with the excep tion of a tract of country on the west, extending about seventy miles by twelve, which is given to Canada. The map will be found very useful in other respects, as it exhibiti on a large scale the St. Lawrence, with its numerous islands, for some miles above Montreal, with Nova Scotia, New Brunswick. and the other dependencies in the east, and a considerable portiot: of the United States.

Some dissatisfaction had been exhibited by a few of the emigrants, who, it would appear, considered themselves to have been deceived by misrepresentations as to the quality and situatior of their land. It is, however, stated upon good au thority, that the disappointment arises more from over-wrought expectation, than from any real founda tion. Such parties who had been settled a sufficient time to test the capabilities of the country are, it is said, satisfied, and doing well. The fisheries, also, were increasing, and it was expected that the export: of oil as well as of timber, both to Australia and England, would in the present season far exceed former years. Some of the Government measures, and especially the badness of the Post-office regulations, had created little ill feeling on the part of the colonists, but as the Executive showed themselves anxious to remedy abuses, these complaints it was expected wouli shortly he removed. Altogether these letters an favourable ; and should the proposed route to this country by the way of the Pacific be carried ink effect, it may be concluded that New Zealand wil; become more valuable than any of our southern set tlements, on account of the short time consumed 1..) the voyage.
