OPiIIINO OF - THE, POTTERY MECHANICS' INSTITUTE AND LIBRARY. Thie•truly valuable Institution commenced its public operations yesterday, as announced in our last paper. On Monday several Members of the Committee attended at the Rooms, to receive the names of those Mechanics, and others, who wished to join the In stitute, and a number of additional Members were enrolled. Yester day evening the Librarian attended to deliver the Books to the members. There are now about 250 volumes in the library; number to be increased as the funds will allow. At 8 o'clock the Rev. 8.. Vale delivered the Introductory Le9ture, in the Swan Assembly. Room. The late hour at which the Lecture was de livered, prevents our reporting it at full length. The Reverend Gentleman opened his Lecture, with shelving the usefulness of Institutions, which put within the reach of Mechanics, the know ledge necessary to explain the principles of their own arts. He then passed on to show, that the working classes have always endeivoured to obtain knowledge to the best of their ability, and as their leisure would allow; and that mankind owe many of their greatest blessings to the talent and information of the working classes, He then stated, at some length, the advantages likely to result from the Mechanics' Institute, in the Potteries, by cultivating the mind of the Mechanic, and teaching him those sciences on which the art of Pottery mainly depends. He then urged those Mechanics who had not yet joined the Institute, to co-operate with their fellow-workmen in this school of improvement; and stated to them the encouragement the Institute has met with from the Nobility, and Gentry, and Clergy, in the neighbourhood. In the last place, Mr. Vale dwelt at some length on the particular usefulness of Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Mechanics, Drawing, Mineralogy, and Chemistry, both to individuals, and the community at large. Under this bead, the Speaker entered into a very pleasing and useful application of the above sciences, to the various trades com mon in this neighbourhood, and threw out some very excellent hints for their further application. The Library consists principally of historical and scientific works. The Committee have purchased several port-folios of Lithographic Prints, for the use of the members.—Pottery Mercury. DUBLIN. 41, North Cumberland -street, Dublin, Jan. 27, 1827. My dear Sir,—The Prelates of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland find it necessary to appeal again to Parliament, on the subject of the Education of the Irish Poor; and they again turn with confidence to that tried advocate who has already acquitted himself so honourably and so usefully of the trust reposed in him on a similar occasion. By their desire I have the honour to transmit to you their petition, and to request you will have the kindness, at your earliest convenience, to lay it before the House of Commons. By referring to the second Report of the Commissioners of Education Inquiry, you will perceive how small a portion of the public grants allotted for Education has been applied in favour of the Catholic Poor. The members of the Established Church form by far the weal thiest part of the community, and, of course, stand the least in &teed of public aid for the purpose of education. Yet, it appears, front the sworn Returns made to the Commissioners in the year 1824, that of the children belonging to this wealthy class, who were then in a course of education, considerably more than one fourth part owed that education to the public bounty; whilst of the Catholic children who were, at the same time in a course of education, not nearly one-thirtieth part received the aid of a sin gle shillin g from the state. I have reason to think th a t th e pro portion of Catholic children deriving benefit from the education grants is now much smaller than it was then, because distrust in the societies to which the application of those funds has been confided is becoming every day among Catholics more lively and more general. You will, I trust, be able to persuade the House, that the Catho lic-poor of Ireland are desirous of education—that they stand in need of Parliamentary aid, in order to obtain that blessing—that the ample funds which the bounty of Parliament has allotted for that purpose have been of little avail to them, on account of the regulations under which those funds have been distributed ; and that any system of education which depends for success on the separation of the Catholic people from their spiritual pastors must meet with great, perhaps insurmountable, obstacles in its progress; while it will not fail, wherever it may force a passage, to generate deep and deadly discontent. I have the honour to remain, with great respect, My dear Sir, your faithful humble servant, tO James Grattan, &c. &c. D. AIIIRRAY. ANSWER. 1, Sackville-street, London, Feb. 4. My Lord,—Having been in France during the last month, I had not the honour of receiving your letter till my return yesterday ; and also the petition from the Catholic Archbishops and Bishops in Ireland, respecting the Education of the Catholic Poor, with a request that I should present it to the House of Commons on the nett convenient opportunity. ' In compliance with their wishes, I shall take care to do so, and I beg of you to convey to those very distinguished Prelates my best acknowledgments for the ho nour they have conferred on me, by committing to my hands so important a charge. The general system of distribution of Par liamentary grants, to which you allude in your letter, as well as the political state and cocelition of Ireland, unparalleled in civi lised Europe, and disgusting m every truly Christian and well organized mind, must speedily fix the attention of Parliament, liith a view to the application of effectual remedies. The subject 144 ,t0 r a your petition is deserving of the greatest consideration ; to meet it, the Legislature is already well prepared, by the very honest and valuable Reports presented to them by the Commis sioners of Education Inquiry—Reports which reflect so much tumour on the exertion and activity of the Catholics of Ireland, in spite of the poverty under which they labour. I trust that Parliament will take some decisive steps this Session, and by refusing all grants to those Institutions where frauds and abuses have been detected, do the public justice, and establish the only sure pledge of future good conduct and integrity Jn all others. Personally thanking you for the kind tetrni of your letter, I beg bilt you will always consider tne a steady and faithful friend to the cause of the Catholics of Ireland, and that I am, with the highest respect and esteem, your obedient humble servant, To the most Rev. Dr. Murray, J. GRATTAN. &c. &c. &c. PROSECUTION OF MR. SHEIL.—Mr. Sheil at tended, between three and four o'clock, yesterday afternoon, before the Magistrates of the Head-office, to tender his bail. He was at tended by a great number of respectable gentlemen. The bail re quired was himself in 4001., and two sureties in 2001. each, which was'immediately' given.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the 2lfoniteur of Monday.) PARIS, FEB. 4.—The John PI of the line has arrived from Rio de Janeiro at Brest. M. J. de Roche Pinto, Gentleman Usher to the Emperor, and 15 other persons Of distinction, who are to form the suite of the Infant Don Miguel, will shortly come to Paris. The affair of M. de Maubreuil will come before the 6th Chamber of the Correctional Tribunal on Friday, 10th February. The ordinance of the Chamber has confined the accusation to blows given with lying in wait (avec guetapens) and premeditation, and set aside the circum stance of blows given, on account of the public functions with which M. de Talleyrand was invested. M. Bautier, a young advocate, will be Counsel for M. de Maubreuil. (From the Etoile, dated Tuesday.) PARIS, FEB. s.—We are now certain that all the re ports spread by Paris Journals of extraordinary armaments in Navarre and Arragon are wholly destitute of foundation. M. de Maubreuil has appealed against the ordinance which sends him before the Correctional Tribunal for his attack on Prince Talleyrand. LIES OF THE DAY. The Constitutionnel—M. de Semonville has sent back an invitation which he received from Count Appony.

(From the Journal de Paris of Monday.) PARIS, FEB. 4.—A letter from Marseilles of the 29th January, says one of the Journals of Lyons, contains what follows :—The correspondence of M. Eynard, and the re ports which are in circulation rtlative to the intervention of the Sovereigns, for the emancipation of Greece, have pro duced a great sensation here. A speedy arrangement seems certain. Lord Cochrane himself is so convinced of it, that he completely renounced the expedition which he contemplated. We learn that he has suddenly changed the arrangement for his - departure. He leaves Marseilles, but he is not going to the East. (From the Quotidienne.) PARIS, FEB. 4.—We have had no official news from the army in Georgia since the 18th of December; the last news from Adjutant-General Paskewitch, dated Nov. 7, announced his having passed the Araxes, and the favour able results which such an enterprise was likely to lead to. It appears the Persians have retired into the mountains and rocks on their frontiers, and entrenched themselves there. The weather, and the state of roads, do not permit the Russians to follow them. The campaign is then sus pended until the return of the favourable season—that is, till March. General Yermoloff is then to adopt such manoeuvres as must insure the total destruction of such Forces as oppose him, unless the Shah shall have succeeded 'n concluding a peace with Russia, through the mediation of England. It is certain that the Russian Government is, in the meantime, disposed to push on the war next Sprieg with all possible vigour. (From the Constitutionnel.) LISBON, JAN. 20.—(Extract of a private letter.)--Count Villa Real, Peer of the Kingdom, is setting out With his family for London. Public opinion is strongly against him ever since the expression of certain sentiments by him in the Chamber of Peers. The recollection of his former in timacy with the Marquis de Chaves has multiplied unfa vourable conjectures respecting him. Besides this, he has ever been a man of rather equivocal character, and injurious to any party he has undertaken to serve. Since the arrival of the English packet the Duke of Marlborough, yesterday, the report spread is, that the Duke of Wellington will shortly arrive here. Great pre parations are consequently making at the Palace das Neces sidades, in which it is expected he will reside. We are assured that the Princess Regent is occupied with a prospect for placing the Chamber of Peers on a level with the intelligence of the nation, and in harmony with the Second Chamber, which is as patriotic as it is enlight ened. For this purpose, the plan observed by Louis XVIII. of France is to be adopted, to call to the Upper Chamber distinguished characters of all kinds in the nation'. MADRID, JAN. 27.--(By Express.)—The defeat of the Portuguese insurgents has been simultaneous in the three provinces Minho, Beira, and Tras-os-Montes ; but those who came here from these two latter provinces, have re. turned to Portugal; some at Hinojosu, and others at Freixeneda ; and though it is probable that those from Minho have also returned, their entry is not yet known. Not only have the refugees from Beira and Tras-os- Montes re-passed the Douro without the least opposition on the part of the Government, but they have even found the means of providing themselves, in Spain, with arms, which a great many of them had thrown away in their re treat, to lighten themselves. It is, moreover, certain that on the 12th inst., the day on which the retreat of the Por tuguese rebels was known here, a sum of money estimated at eight millions of reals, was sent towards the frontiers, where the refugees were passing, for the purpose of enabling the latter to make a second invasion. The dis missal and bringing to trial of Longa, Freyre, and Llo rente, is but a concerted expedient, which has imposed neither on Mr. Lamb, nor Mr. Lima, who promptly de manded of M. Salmon, why the Spanish Government, whilst the operations of the refugees left no doubt as to the points by which they would enter into Spain, had left all these points unguarded, and collected troops in other parts, where they were quite useless—at Talavera and its environs, for example. Though M. Salmon has written to explain this matter, these Ambassadors have respectively informed their Governments of this transaction. Mr. Lamb's courier set out on the 23d instant. General Longa, whose command had been given pro visionally to General Parthoux-Muxica, is replaced defi nitely by General Monet, one of the Generals who lately held command under General Laserna. A Spanish Priest has lately formed a band of 160 men, infantry, and 4.0 horse, with which he has passed the Minho by Orensa ; but his expedition was so badly ma naged, that he had scarcely set his foot on Portuguese ground when his force was beaten and dispersed and him self taken, and, as they say, immediately shot. A despatch from General Aymeric, Governor of Cadiz, says that the regiment of Ceuta, destined for the Canary Isles, manifests a disposition to proclaim the Con stitution.

(From the Journal des Debats of Monday.) MADRID, FEB. 27.—(Private letter, by express.)—On the 23d instant M. Salmon, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, addressed a note to Mr. Lamb, containing in sub stance that his Catholic Majesty has seen with indignation the course lately pursued by General Longa, and by the Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo, who, in contravention to the orders transmitted to them, to disarm the Portuguese rebels who might return into the Spanish territory, and to send them into the interior, at forty leagues distance from the frontiers, that they displayed so little zeal in the execution of his Majesty's commands, that the Refugees who entered Spain on the 12th instant, by different points, on the banks of the Tormeo, succeeded in re-crossing the Douro at Hinajosa and Freixaneda, and to re-enter the Portuguese province of Tras-os-Montes, and that in consequence of these events, General Longa and the Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo had been recalled, and should be tried by a court martial. Mr. Lamb replied to this note, " that he had already apprised his Court of the facts, to which the letter of M. Salmon related, but that he should add to his first dispatch the Note of his Excellency : " It is easy to perceive, as I informed you in my last letter, that the Government has not in any manner changed its system, and that it has only corrected the execution of it, for all the troops hitherto put in motion have been sent where there was no likelihood of their being of any use; whilst Castile, which was the point by which the Portu guese Refugees might have been expected to return, has been hitherto, and still continues to be, quite as bare of troops as it was during the first invasion. This observa tion has been repeatedly urged by Mr. Lamb to M. Sal mon. I can likewise assure you that the latter expects that the next dispatches from England, and from Portu gal, will bring a fresh ultimatum, when the dismissal of M. Calomarde, of M. Eguia, and Quesada, will be re quired, not as a guarantee, but as a preliminary condi tion, previous to settling any other points ; from which circumstance the preservation of peace will hereafter de pend." A Russian Cabinet Courier left Lisbon, on the 23d, and arrived here to-day. At his departure from Lisbon that town was perfectly tranquil, and the last reports from Count Villa Flor were still dated from Chaves. VICTORIA, JAN. 28.—T0-morrow night ths first column of the Swiss troops coming from Madrid will sleep here. It is said they will stop till the 30th of January, and are to be followed by a second column, which is to arrive on the 31st, and to leave on the Ist of February. As to the third column, and the sick, it is said that they will not pass through our town ; and respecting the report which has been spread, that the Swiss were to remain in our province, it appears absurd, as there are no prepara ions making in any part of it for their stay. (From the Quotidienne.) " MADRID, JAN. 26.—The unexpected return of the Portugese Royalists to Spain was occasioned, as I have al ready informed you, not by the superior force of their op ponents, but by the want of provisions. The number which returned to Spain has been much exaggerated, and on that point I must correct what I have already written to you. From the most correct information, the number of Royalists who have crossed into our territory does not exceed 1,200 or 1,300 men. These troops came to Ciu dad Rodrigo, whence they marched back to Portugal, after being supplied with ammunition of every description. The Spanish troops, who are in great numbers on this frontier, did not in any way interrupt the march of the Royalists. It is not at all impossible that our Generals may have received secret instructions to favour their de signs. We are convinced that the measures adopted with regard to Generals Longa and Fleires (Governor of Ciu dad Rodrigo) are only vain demonstrations, the object of which is, by saving appearances, to avoid affording grounds for a rupture with England and the Lisbon Regency. M. Salmon has notified to M. Lima, the Portuguese Charge d'Affaires, that General Longa is superseded in his command by General Monet; and that proceedings are to be instituted against him and the Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo. M. Lima, who had been informed of the events on the frontiers, has sent off a courier to his Court, with despatches, including M. Salmon's note. " General Monet has notyet set out for Valladolid. He is one of the officers who lately served in Peru. When the Constitutionalists landed at Guadamar, he was employed to disperse them. He was afterwards appointed to the Government of the province of Cuenca. " Letters from Galicia state, that a corps of Portuguese Royalists, which entered Spain by way of Chaves, has re crossed the frontier, and defeated a Constitutional corps. Other letters dated from Miranda de Douro and Zamora state, that the Royalists who had appeared at Alcanizas have also quickly retaken the road to Portugal. From Al canizas they proceeded to Zafra, Fermozelle, Mazueco, and Sonselli, where they passed the Douro to enter the south ern quarter of Tras-os-Montes. We are assured that the Marquis de Chaves has established his head-quart ers at Bemposta, on the extreme frontier. It is certain that the Marchioness has arrived at Madrid. " Gen. Sarsfield, who is to have the chief command of the Army of Observation, is expected here to-day on his way from Catalonia. "One of the steam-boats which lately arrived at Lisbon has brought several Spanish Constitutional refugees from England. It is also known that some officers who have bad unlimited leave of absence, embarked at Cadiz on board the steam-boat which touches there on the passage from LisbOn to Gibraltar. Threewell-known leaders at Gibraltar arrived in this steam-boat from London: "We are assured that the Commandant of the French troops at Cadiz has had some warm discussions with the military authorities of Gibraltar, respecting the frequent visits lately made by English officers to the Isle of Leon. Some have been caught m fishin g -boats taking plans of the works and bearings of the islan. " It appears that the difficulties which had arisen be- tween our Cabinet and that of the Tuileries have been removed. "M. Salmon and the Superintendent of Police are often at the Prado. The Ministers often meet there. A Con- sul-General has arrived at Madrid, but it appears that he is not permitted to exercise the functions with which he is charged, as Spain has not recognized the Empire of Brazil. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. THE ARMY. A large detachment of recruits arrived in town yesterday morn ing from Bristol, on route to join their respective corps and depots at Chatham, Canterbury, Maidstone, Dover, and Hythe. A Detachment belonging to the 63d Regiment of Infantry embarked this morning, on board a steam-vessel in the River, for Gravesend, on route to Chatham.

They do not contain intelligence of much impoitance. Ad vices from Lisbon had been received, by a Russian 'ourier, who left that city on the 23d ult. when it was ,n a state of tranquillity. The latest despatches from Count DE VILLA Fr OR are said to be dated from Chaves. It seems, from the contents of private letters from Madrid, that the rebels, who had been driven into Spain, had not been disarmed, but had been per mitted to re-enter Portugal, without interruption from the Spanish Authorities. This is said to have taken place under the eye of the Spanish Army of Observation, notwithstanding the high indignation which FERDINAND is stated to have expressed against the conduct of General LONGA and the Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo, in a Note addressed by his Minister to Mr. LAMB. Indeed the Quotidienne calls the Court Martial on these Officers " a vain demonstra tion," got up to avoid a rupture with Great Britain and Portugal. Thus the Apostolical party themselves do not hesitate to avow in their journal the duplicity of the conduct of their most gracious Sovereign Lord. It would appear that the Emperor Don PEDRO intends his brother MIGUEL to have an establishment suited to the station which he must one day fill as husband of the future Queen of PORTUGAL; but that he has thought it prudent to make choice in the Brazils of the persons who are to compose his suite. A line-of-battl e ship, with 15 or 16 distinguished individuals, who have been selected for this very envi able duty, have arrived at Brest, from Rio de Janeiro. They are to proceed to Paris, but whether MIGUEL joins them there, or they are 'to be sent on to him at Vienna, does not appear. A ridiculous report prevailed at Lisbon on the 23d, that the Duke of WELLINGTON was about to visit Portugal. The French Funds remained steady on Monday at the prices of Saturday. Extracts from these Papers will be found in another column.

We received this 'morning Brussels Papers of the 7th inst., but they possess little interest. The King of the NETHERLANDS has appointed a naval com mission to inquire into the causes of the loss and damage of his ships lVassenaer and Waterloo, in the late storms. The mortality at Groningen for the last week was 42. JOSEPH 13UONAI'ARTE has sub scribed 1000 francs towards the monument erecting to TALNIA, and the same sum to that of DAVID. An English Journal is published at Brussels under the title of " News from Home," which ..fill, no doubt, be very acceptable to many lovelorn wanderers as well as self.: exiled patriots. The Bavariau Government, duly aware of the great improvement in the artillery, lately made in England, France, and the Netherlands, intends to dispatch an officer to make himself ac quainted with all the recent improvements in that branch of the military service. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the Ist instant, has also been received this morning. Under the head of St. Petersburgh, it contains some reflections upon the Persian War, and the probability that England will endeavour to mediate a peace between Russia and Persia. Should she not, YERMALOFF is to strike a decisive blow when the season admits of military operations being commenced ST. PETERSEURPI4, JAN. 17. Since the 18th Dec. we have had no farther official accounts of the prosecution of the operations of our army in Georgia, on the Persian frontiers. The last, as our readers may remember, announced the passage of the Araxes, effected by General Pas kewitsch, and the favourable consequences that might be expected from this bold undertaking. By what we can learn from per.. sons who were well informed, the enemy had retired further into the interior of the frontier, which is intersected by impenetrable defiles and ravines, and there entrenched themselves. The ad vanced season, and the badness of the ways over the mountains made it impossible for our troops to follow them into their defiles. It is probable, that nothing will be done before the mild season sets in, that is about the end of March, when General Yer maloff, who is so well acquainted with the mode of making w ar on the people of th e E as t, w ill pro b a bl y s t r ik e a dec isive blow, which may lead to the entire destruction of the enemy's force, collected for the second time against us, unless the Shah should be enabled meantime, by the intervention of England, to make a tolerable peace with Russia. This would be the wisest step that he could be advised to take in his present situ ation, which is daily becoming more critical. So much is certa in, that our Govern ment will make great exertion in the Spring to put a speedy end to this war. m in Ctioieussttaantetinoofptlheetocatphie_ and trade seemed to be reviving.

Tranquillity prevailed, parliament re-assembles to-day. It is an event which must always be looked to with interest, but particularly when a measure of such vital importance is so soon to be discussed as that which is to place on a per manent footing, the great question of the Corn Laws. not ap pWroi proposed 0 10 se u d t pbryetending to know the plan which is to be which Mh r.

We sincerely hope that the health of the Foreign 19th, t S h e e cr d e a t y ary fix w e, i i ll fo b r e th c i o s of the country on the subject is so intense that any farther delay would cause the keenest disappointment, and would be the more lamented if occasioned by th e continued indisposition of the great and eloquent champion of all that is liberal and enlightened in foreign and domestic policy. There are few events which have been accomplished so quickly, and by means so apparently disproportioned to the circumstances, as the suppression of the Revo lution in Portugal. Fomented as this revolution had been by a powerful and influential party throughout the kingdom, and allowed to spread, with little oppo sition, until it had almost reached the capital itself, it threatened in a few days to overthrow the existing Go. vernment, and to bury in its ruin the fabric of liberal institutions, which had been apparently firmly so esta blished. In a moment the scene has been changed. The advocates of arbitrary power are silenced, and the rebel army, which, without much interruption, had continued its march towards the seat of Govern. ment, and gathered strength as it moved on, is obliged to fly precipitately from the kingdom, and to seek, for its reduced numbers, an asylum in an adjoining country. What are the means which have wrought this change of circumstances ? Have they been the unpopn
