Upon reading the Bulletins, one is naturally led to in quire for what purpose they have been issued ; because they are utterly and entirely destitute of information, not only as to the state of danger to which the KING has been exposed, and of the degree of suffering which his MAJESTY has endured, but there is a total silence upon the nature, or even of the supposed name, of the disease from which our SOVEREIGN has suffered so severe an attack. As to the " bilious " attack, the expression is so vague and old womanish, that nothing can be inferred from it, unless we assume that there was a wilful attempt to delude or deceive on the part of the writer. But his MAJESTY has suffered considerably from "embarrassment in his breathing." Embarrassment in breathing is only the symptom of a disease ; yet not a word is mentioned of the complaint by which this sign has been produced. Embarrassment in breathing may result from a diseased brain, a diseased spine, a diseased throat, a diseased heart, diseased lungs, a diseased liver, and, in fact, fi om severe disease in any part of the body. Indeed, "embarrassment in breathing "is one of the last, and, but too frequently, one of• the worst and surest signs of approaching dissolution. Thus, whilst it is commonly the immediate precursor of death, it is a no less frequent attendant upon the most trifling aberrations from health, and often follows an indulgence in the luxuries of the table. Inflammation of the heart, and too abundant a meal, will, alike, therefore, produce "embarrassment in breathing." What then, can we learn from the language of the Bulletins ? Nothing. .It being uniaarselfiy sicknow •ladged that i n fe - se documents are issued for the purpose of conveying to the people of England information respecting the nature and danger of the KING'S malady, we are forced to conclude that the persons who dictated them are either incapable of communicating that information, or that it has been wilfully withheld. In either case, such persons, we should think, are not the most proper to surround the person of the Soveuxtusr, especially at a moment when the Royal mind may be in a state bordering upon inca pacity from the tortures of bodily disease. If his MAJESTY'S physicians be not incompetent to convey the information which the public have a right to expect, and even to de mand, by whose orders, or front what influence, do they systematically attempt to delude or mystify? The KING has a right, undoubtedly, to select the medical officers by whom he will be attended. His MAJESTY has a right to choose his Ministers of State, and they are responsible to the nation for their conduct. But here there are other con siderations besides the right to select. First, we know of no tribunal to which the medical officers are amenable, for their incapacity; and secondly, is a man, when enduring the agonies of disease, in a condition of mind best cal culated for making the most judicious selection? Of the incompetency of Sir HENRY HALFORD and Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY, we do not speak, for we will not be so uncharitable as to decide upon their medical attainments from the terms of their Bulletins. Sir H. HALFORD is, unquestionably, a very respectable gentleman ; but we have yet to learn that he has found a position amongst the scientific physicians of Europe. Of Sir M. TIERNEY we know nothing ; be may have contributed to the stock of medical knowledge; lie may have been successful in the career of private practice; but upon each of these points we are equally in the dark. Laying aside, then, for the moment, the consideration of superior medical attain ments, may we not infer that these physicians were capable of recording a plain statement of facts ? and, giving them credit for this, if it can be shown that they have refrained from alluding to highly important circumstances con nected with his MAJESTY'S disease, and with which, it is self-evident, they were well acquainted,—if, we say, it can be proved that they have wilfully withheld very important information upon one point, may we not fairly conclude that they have done so upon many others, or, in deed, upon all? For the Bulletins are destitute of even a particle of medical statement that is worth re cording. That one very important piece of information has :been withheld there can be no doubt, as the legs of the Royal sufferer were punctured, in order to allow the escape of a dropsical effusion. Not a word of this in the Bulletins. No mention even of swel- ling in the legs, much less of effusion in the extremities, arising from organic disease in the —. It is known, however, that his MAJESTY has submitted to the dange rous, and often fatal, operation of " puncturing" for the removal of fluid effused in the legs and feet. Yet no men tion is made in the Bulletins of there having been a surgeon in attendance. In truth there is not the slightest allu sion to the operation ; and bad not the vanity of the ope rator conquered his discretion, the fact of the " punctur ing" would, probably, hare been unknown to the public even to the present hour. A surgical operation then— even a dangerous surgical operation, for mortification is often the result—has been performed. Yet the name of a surgeon has not been attached to either of the Bulletins.— The secrecy is deep, but what are the motives? The his tory of the magical tactics of the great magician may one day furnish an explanation. The extraordinary benefit, both medical and surgical, rendered to the late Duke of Yoas by his MAJESTY'S Sergeant-Surgeon, Sir ASTLEY COOPER, is well kno.vn to the members of the medical profession, and even to a large portion of the public. 'Yet " the conjurer" en this occasion directed his wand to an other quarter, and summoned to his aid a more convenient spirit; one that could be concealed or exhibited, as the changes of the disease, and the " turns" of the Consol market, might seem to require. If we mistake not, a " stock account," to be found in the books of a certain confidential broker, is always the surest guide to the state of his MasesTv's health. It fluctuates with the variations of the Royal pulse. Here we shall stop for the present ; but the while affair is one of vast importance to the country, and demands a scrutinizing in vestigation in Parliament. It affords us great satisfaction to lie enabled to state, that the health of his MAJESTY is much improved. Unhappily, however, there are still the evidences of danger. Sir ROBERT PEEL commenced his speech on the Forgery Question by saying, that if he had expected to find that question treated as a party one, such an im pression would have been removed by the encomiums la vished on his exertions by Sir JAMES " But he entered the House with no such impression, knowing that the time was come when," &c. &c. Now, the Motion for the Abolition of Capital Punishment in Cases of Forgery, was lost in a House of nearly 250 Mem bers, by a majority of fifteen only ; and it is very material to inquire, for the purpose of ascertaining the real state of public opinion on this great subject, whether this majority was a mere Ministerial majority, or the prevailing senti ment of a House of Commons wholly uninfluenced by party considerations, as the Minister represents it. The fact, then, we take leave to state, that the Treasury sum mons sent round to all the retainers of Government in the accustomed manner, requiring their attendance on Monday night, was worded in the most pressing and emphatic man ner : that it was headed " certain divisions ;" and that the Forgery Bill was the first subject of debate mentioned as fixed for discussion. It is not for us to reconcile such a summons of all his good men and true with the Right Hon. Secretary's canting protestation, that he approached the question as one entirely unconnected with party po litics. But sure we are, that if there had been no ,uch gathering of the Train-bands of Government, Sir R. PEEL'S Forgery Bill would have been lost.---Morning Chronicle. BONAPARTE held the liberty of the press in the greatest horror; and so violent was his passion when any thing was urged in its favour, that be seemed to labour under a nervous attack. Great man as he was, he was sorely afraid of little paragraphs.—Bourrienne. A certain Lecturer on Intemperance, who has attained to "celebrity" in his vocation, lately waited on the minister of a populous parish, not 100 miles from Perth, and requested the use of his church to deliver a lecture to the people. The minister stated his determina tion, and his reasons for declining to grant this for any other than purposes purely religious—but to shesv the ap plicant that he had no personal grudge towards him, he proposed to give him the " fashion o' the hoose." A case of bottles was produced, containing various liquors, and the lecturer was desired to choose and help himself, his host setting the example. The former could not be pre vailed.upon to taste or handle, but lie drank of no less than three full tumblers of water pure from the spring,_ upon which the reverend sexagenarian shrewdly observed, " My certie, lad ; gin ye hadna been at something stronger than water last night, its my opinion ye wadna ha'e been fashed wi' sic a lowin' drouth this mornin."--A Corres pondent of Pert/s Courier. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 1830. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday an inquest was held at the Jolly Gar deners, Lambeth-walk, on the body of Anne Hogan, aged about 50. The deceased had been in possession of some property, but latterly becoming very much reduced in circumstances, was taken into the house of Mrs. M` Way, widow of Colonel M‘Way, residing at No. 22, Walcot-terrace, Lambeth, and on Wed nesday complained of illness. Mr. Bryant, sur geon, was called in, who ordered her some medi cine, but she gradually grew worse until Friday, *hen Mr. Bryant was consulted about the possibi lity of having her removed to the workhouse. Mr. Bryant pronounced a decided negative against re moving her ; but to his utter astonishment, when he called in the evening, he found that the deceased had been taken to the workhouse in a chair, where she arrived in a state of insensibility about eight o'clock in the evening, and never spoke until she expired, at a quarter-past ten the same night. Several of the jurors expressed themselves in terms of reprehension at the inhumanity of removing the poor woman in a dying state, contrary to the di rections of the surgeon. One juror said, that the anxiety on the part of Mrs. M` Way, that the death should not take place in her house, ought not to appear so extraordinary, when they recollected that the lady was a native of Calcutta, and that in India a strong feeling exists against permitting of the nearest of kin to die in the house. The juror spoke of his own knowledge of the country, and knew instances where even the child was taken from the mother's breast, and re moved from the house, such was their horror of suffering the decease cf any human being to take place there. The CORONER asked Mr. Bryant if he thought the death of the deceased was accelerated by the removal ? Mr. Bryant replied that he was satisfied that the deceased would have died under any circumstances, and although he considered it highly improper to remove her, yet he did not think her death was ma terially accelerated thereby. The Jury expressed themselves satisfied, and Mr. Bryant being of opinion that the deceased died from fever, they returned a verdict of " Natural. Death." EDUCATION IN IRELAND. ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE COMMISSIONERS OF EDUCATION IN IRELAND, FOR THE YEAR ENDING THE 25TH MARCH, 1830. TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MOST NOBLE HUGH PERCY DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND, LORD LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND, KNIGHT OF THE MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE GARTER, &C. &C. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY, We, the Commissioners of Education in Ireland, constituted by an Act of Parliament, made in the fifty-third year of the reign of his late Ma jesty King George the Third, in obedience thereto, respectfully submit to your Excellency a general Report of our proceedings, from the 25th day of March, 1829, to the 25th day of March, 1830; and first, with respect to the schools of Royal foundation, we have to state that the annual allowance for exhibitions to students from the Royal School at Armagh, admitted into the University of Dublin, has been since our last Report distributed by us to young 'gentlemen of merit, educated at that school, according to the regulations specified in our Report for the year 1828, and we are about to hold out similar encouragement to a greater number of students of such other of the Royal Schools as as have sufficient incomes to enable us to do so. A portion of the surplus funds of the school of Ar magh has also been lately appropriated to defray the expence of inclosing the school grounds from the public road, much annoyance having been experienced from the intrusion of strangers within the boundaries of the establishment. We have caused substantial and necessary repairs to be made to the house arid offices belonging to the Royal School of Banagher, in the King's County, the expellee whereof does not exceed 3401., on ac count of which repairs we have already paid the sum of 3001. out of the funds of Enniskillen school, as we were empowered to do by Act of Parliament, the income of Banagher school being at present in sufficient for the purpose. Having been disappointed, from various causes, in obtaining a grant of the site alluded to in the last Report made by this Board to your Excellency, whereon to build a school-house f>r the Royal School of Carysfort in the county of Wicklow, and it ,being desirable that no time shall be lost in MM. me:icing the building, this Board has been under the necessity of fixing on a situation not quite so conve nient, but within the town corporate of Carysfort; and we have the satisfaction to state that the terms of a contract have been arranged for the building of a sufficient school-house, with apartments for the master, according to a plan furnished by our archi tect, and approved by the Board, for the sum of 502/. ss. sid. This English school, at present kept in a small house, we consider as likely to be more eminently useful when the establisetnent shall have been completed under new regulations about to be adopted by this Board ; Carysfort being situate in a populous and mountainous district, remote from other seminaries for education, Besides the works alluded to in our last year's Report to be carried on in the school-house of the Royal School of Cavan, certain others have been executed by our orders, the expence whereof have been discharged partly out of the funds to the credit of this school, and partly out of the funds of Enniskillen school, amounting in all to 2301. 10s. 7d.; - and we have also caused to be executed at the Royal School of Dungannon, cer tain improvements connected with the public part of the building, the expence of which, amounting to 134/. 7s. 10d., has been discharged out of the funds of Dungannon school. In respect of the Royal School of Enniskillen we have to state, that the plot of ground in the town of Enniskillen which was the subject of law proceed ings, as mentioned in the Report of this Board to his Excellency the Marquis of Anglesea in the year 1828, has been let by the Board to a responsible tenant, who has covenanted in his lease to expend on the premises, on or before the Ist of November next, 4001. in permanent buildings; that having last year found the surplus funds to the credit of this school fully sufficient to meet the expellee of cer tain alterations and improvements to the out-offices and entrance to the establishment, the execution whereof had been postponed until after the discharge of the expenditure on the repairs and improvements of the dwelling-house and school, we entered into a contract for several works in the offices and entrance to the establishment in the month of June last, all which have since been executed in a satisfactory and permanent manner for the sum of 380/. 12s. 2d. which has been paid to the contractor out of the school funds; and we have advertized for and re ceived proposals for additional improvements in this establishment ; we have also to state that a further dividend has been made of the property of the late agent of this School Estate, whose bankruptcy was alluded to in our report. of lest year, making, with the former payments, a dividend of 17s. 4d. in the pound on the debt proved against us by the bank rupt. The surplus funds of this School being con siderable, we are occupied with a plan, which we hope will be very shortly matured, for placing a cer tain number of the Students of this School on the foundation thereof; with annual allowances and ex hibitions, whilst they remain at the University of Dublin deer their admission to College. The funds of the Royal School of Raphoe, which had been deranged, in consequence of the insubordi nation of the tenants on the school lands, who dis puted the title of the Commissioners of Education, as detailed in former reports, having been found insuffieient to meet the expense of certain additions and repairs necessary to be made in the school build ings, we petitioned your Excellency in the month of June last, praying that your Excellency would be pleased to order an advance of 1,283/. 16s. by way of loan, for such purpose, to be made from the con solidated fund, pursuant to the provisions of the said Act of the .53d Geo. 111., and having received, by order of your Excellency, an assurance that the said sum should be advanced as required in our petition, to be repaid by instalments, we were enabled in the month of July last to enter into a contract for the due execution of the several works by which the school-house and offices are already materially im proved; and we have further to state that having in the month of December last received the report of our architect, by which the contractors were en titled to receive an instalment of 600/. on the foot of their contract for the works, we obtained from the Treasury, under your Excellency's order, through the hands of the Reverend James Irwin, the Master, who entered into the ne cessary security by recognizance for the faithful expenditure of the money, that snrn of 600/., which we accordingly caused to be paid to the contractors, the Commissioners of Education having previously assigned the school lands of Raphoe, and the t -wants thereof, to William Kemmis, Esq., Crown Solicitor, under one of the provisions of the said Act, as se curity for the re -payment of the loan, as Ire was the person appointed by Government to receive annually such portion of the rents of the school estate as shall amount to 771. Os. 7d., being at the rate of 61. per cent. yearly on the full sum to be advanced by way of loan. And next, with respect to the schools of private foundation, we beg leave to state to your Excellency, that the proceedings instituted by the Board in tltc Court of Chancery in Ireland, in the name of the Attorney-General, against the tenants of the school lands of Middleton, the particulars whereof were mentioned in our Report for the year 1828, are in progress, and that it is expected, as reported to us by our solicitors, that one of the two information causes will be ready for hearing in the next term, the examination of witnesses therein being now nearly closed. We have also to state, that the se veral repairs and improvdments of the school-house at Middleton have been for some time completed, and that the contractor for the works, and his admi nistrator, have received the sum of 1,4001. on account of his contract, and his administrator is to receive the balance, amounting to 2001. at the expiration of one year from the date'of the Ariel report of our architect, if it should not then be deemed necessary to make any deduction therefrom on account of the possible insufficiency of any part of the work. We have to observe, that owing to the death of the late master, the Rev. Dr. Grier, this school has not been opened since the house was rendered fit for that purpose, and that consequently some expense has been created, the Board being under the necessity of paying a person to take care of the buildings ; but we expect shortly to hear of the appointment of another master, the governors of the school, in whom such appointment is vested, (this Board not having any voice in the appointment of the masters or ushers of any school under its superintendence), having been called on some time since by the Board to elect a person qualified for the situation. We have further to observe, that considerable embarrassment has arisen to the funds of Middleton school, by reason that the rent reserved on one of the leases of the school lands impeached by the informations is ssith held from this Board, although we offered to enter into a consent that the payment thereof should be without prejudice to the rights of any of the parties in the suits so depending. Of the school of Clonmel we beg leave to report, that in the month of April last a contract was en tered into between this Board and an eminent builder for the building of a new school-house at Clonmel, for the sum of 4,0001., and that the works thereof are rapidly proceeding under the superintendence of a local architect, whose reports lead us to expect that the house may be habitable by the master and scholars in the early part of the next year. Having alluded in our report of last year to a ease then before his Majesty's Attorney-General for his opinion relative to 'the patronage of the schools of Navan and Ballyroan, we have only to observe that his opinion on the subject renders unnecessary any further proceedings in the suit instituted in the Court of Chancery on the subject of the schools so far as respects the patronage thereof, but we have been obliged to call for the opinion of counsel on the conduct of the Rev. Joseph Preston, one of the pa trons of these schools, in whom the legal estate of the site of one of the schools is vested, in not hav ing complied with certain orders of this Board, which we thought necessary to make, in order to complete the establishment of the school of Navan. Having mentioned in our report of last year that our architect had been required to furnish a plan for a school-house to be erected at Navan, the estimate whereof was not then intended to exceed 1,5001., we have to state to your Excellency, that on finding from subsequent consideration of the funds to the credit of Navan and Ballyroan schools, that they would admit of greater expenditure on account of Navan school-house, a plan on a more extensive scale for the building of Navan school-house was adopted by this Board, for the execution of which, at an expense of 2,3621., a contract was entered into in the month of July last, and we have now the satisfaction to report that the buildings are proceed ing in a most expeditious and satisfactory manner, and have been so far executed as to entitle the con tractor to call on us for the payment of three instal ments of 5001. each, which we have accordingly discharged out of these schools on the certificates of our architect. Of the school of Ballyroan we have to state, that it having appeared to us by the report of our architect on the present state of the school house of Ballyroan, that it would require the ex penditure of a large sum of money to put it into per manent repair, and the Board's interest in the school-house being by a determinable lease only, the title to which is somewhat questioned, we thought it advisable to postpone doing any thing further re specting the school-house until it can be ascertained whether a better nterest can be obtained in the house, or a title can be had even to the determinable lease, or whether a new site for the school-house cats be procured; arid we expect a considerable in crease of the funds of ;here schools, by reason that a report has been lately made in the cause in Chan cery respecting them, of a large balance being in the hands of the Receiver, the settlements of whose accounts was delayed by a serious question in the Master's office, respecting abatements to be made to the tenants. Lastly, with respect to the Diocesan and District schools, we beg leave to report to your Excellency thrt the terms of a contract to the amount of 1)001. have been agreed upon for the building of a school house at Ballymena, in the county of Antrim, for the district composed of the dioceses of Armagh and Connor, on the faith of a presentment of 10001. late currency, made by the Grand Jury of that county, a portion of which, arnolviting to 4151. 7s. 9d. has been lodged in the Bank of Ireland to the credit of the school; and we have to observe that the master of the school, the Rev. Robert Mathews, who has lately been appointed by his Grace the Lord Primate, is about to proceed without delay to Ballymena, to open the school in a temporary re sidence provided by him at his own expence, until the new school-house shall be finished; and it is ex pected that the school will accordingly be opeued in the month of April instant, with a fair prospect of a good attendance of scholars. We have further to state to your Excellency, that the school-house at Downpatrick for the district composed of the dioceses of Down and Dromore, has been lately completed and delivered up to the mas ter, and that the contractor has received from us 4731. Is. sd. on account of his contract, and is to be paid the balance thereof, amounting to 4501. Os. I Id. by the treasurer of the county of Down, as the same shall be levied pursuant to the presentment, passed by the Grand Jury of that county, for the purpose of building the school-house. That with the view of creating a fund to build a school-house at Mu!linger, for the district composed of the dioceses of Meath and Ardagh, we caused to be sold the old school-houses of those dioceses, fcr the stun of 3801., the balance of which, after de ducting 11. 15Q., the expenre of an advertisement for sale of the diocesan school-,house of Meath, we have invested in Government Stock to the credit of the said district school; but we regret to state that we have not been enabled to procure any aid towards this building by presentment from the . Grand Jury of the county of Westmeath, to ‘vhorn repeated ap plications on the subject have been made without effect, and more particularly in a memorial from the Board which was presented to them at the Asszes last past : on the contrary, they not long since caused to be represented for other purposes, as under the o s N -p p sed provisions of the 59th Geo. 111., c. 84, s. 21, the sum of 201. late currency, formerly presented by the Gk - and Jury, towards purchasing ground for the site of a diocesan school, to be built in the town of Mullingar. We have further to state to your Excellency, that the Grand Jury of the county of Kerry, having also in like manner and as under the same authority, at the lest Summer Assizes, represented :'or other pu:- poses a sum of 7001. late currency, wlich had been raised off the county of Kerry by instalments (being on account of a fund) for building a school-house at as wiolo. enable the Boa presentmem v. Tralee, for the district composed of the dioceses of ..h rd to purchase a site and to Ardfert and Aghadoe, we, after having made appli cation t ( h b e e re fo o r n e a sic h h oo r i epresentment took place) ,it different periods, to the trey urer of that county, to Ks of Down and Antrim, to in the iia4l; of Ireland to the Board's credit, ,caused a metnorial to be submitted to the Grand Jury at tke 44 $l,,TiNg sizes,A for `the purpose Qt . obtainigu. • .. ^E ranch sutn, answer. we hope to receive a favourable' With respect to the scheol for the district com posed of the dioceses of Limerick, Killaloe, and Kil fenora, we beg leave to report to your Excellency that a site has been selected for the school-house, the title whereto has been approved by the Coun sel of the Board ; also that a plan for the building of the district school-house has been adopted, but that it is not in our power to contract for the exe cution thereof in consequence of the Grand Jury of the county of Limerick having declined to direct their Treasurer to lodge in the Bank of Ireland the sum of 1,292/. Os. 2d., which was levied off the county towards creating a fund for "purchasing a site and building a school-house thereon," although it has been represented to them that, to enable the Board to guarantee to a contractor the punctual payment of his instalments, it is absolutely necessary that the money should be secured in the manner proposed, or so disposed of as to be certainly pay able to the contractor; and with the vi e w o f effect ing that o bj ec t, this oard, after repeated applica tions at different periods to the Treasurer of the County, and to the gentlemen to whom it was pre sewed to be paid for the purposes above-mentioned, Memorialised the Grand Jury at the last Assizes to direct the Treasurer to lodge the money in the Batik of Ireland, either in the name of - the Commissioners of Education, or in their name conjointly with his own or with that of some one or more of the said gentlemen ; we regret, however, to be obliged to state to your Excellency, that the prayer of our me morial has not been complied with, and that the Treasurer of that County has been long permitted . to hold in his hands now the only fund for the building of the school-house, the Board having been under the necessity of setting apart the entire of the money at its disposal on account of this school to wards the purchase of the site, which fund is eon'- posed of a sum of 100/. produced by the sale of a plot of ground, formerly the site of the diocesan school, in the old town of Limerick, and a sum of 2621. 16s. produced by the sale of Government Stock purchased by the Board in the month of March, 1828, with a sum of 2411.25. 3d., lodged by the present Treasurer of the city of Limerick, on account of a presentment made by the Grand Jury of the city for the purposes above-mentioned. And we beg leave to observe, that had the money iii the hands of the County Treasurer been similarly vested when first applied for by the Board, we should, in consequence of the rise of the funds and the accumulation of the dividends, have 11(-en bled to have adopted a more enlarged plan fir the school-house. We have been informed that the county Grand Jury appointed a Committee to re port at next Assizes on certain questions rai , eil amongst the Grand Jury, which necessarily pes pones the building of the school-house until the next year, if the Grand Jury shall then think fit to permit the sum raised to be applied pursuant to the former presentment. We have further to state to your Excellency, that it having been repeatedly represented to us by his Grace the Archbishop of Tuam, and the master of the diocesan school of Tuam, that the school-house which had been some years ago much injured by having been used by the military, and also by the police (as formerly repotted by this' Board), was in a most dilapidated and nearly uninhabitable state, and that the sum requisite for its repairs if added to what it would probably produce by sale would be sufficient to build a better house on a more eligible site, which has been promised by his Grace, we caused advertisements to be inserted in the public newspapers for proposals for the purchase of the old school-house, which was besides most conveniently situated, and having received an offer of 4101., being 1101. above the estimated value of the premises, and which sum has been since lodged in the Bank of Ireland to the credit of this school, we thought it more advisable to declare the purchaser accordingly, making it a condition of the sale, that the house shall remain in the possession of the master of the school until March next, than to suffer it to fall into total decay, which it must have done, there being no fund for its repairs, and the Grand Jury of the county of Galway being unwilling to present any money for that purpose; a►►d we have to state, that it is the intention of the Board to apply immediately to the Archbishop of Team to grant the site pro mised by his Grace to renew the application to the Grand Jury of the county of Galway for a present ment, at the ensuing Assizes, of a sufficient sum i❑ aid of the fund in Bank to enable the Board to pro ceed with the building of a new school-house before the old one shall be delivered up to the purchaser. And we have further to state to your Excellency, that it has been resolved by the Board, that a me morial be presented to your Excellency, suggesting the Board's expectation of pecuniary aid from the Government towards building the new school house, in consideration of the damage which the old school-house sustained whilst occupied by the mili tary and police successively, as noticed above and in former reports; and we beg leave to observe, that it appears to us by the certificates to which we can refer your Excellency, that it would have required a sum of 350/. to have repaired the damages above alluded to. We have, since the date of our last Report, used our best endeavours to establish on a proper footing the Diocesan and District schools, but have in a great measure failed, by reason of the indisposition of the Grand Juries of most of the counties to co operate with Commissioners of Education towards the attainment of that most useful object, an iudi•- position caused in some instances by a misapprehen sion of the nature and constitution of these schools, which are erroneously supposed by many not to be open to free scholars of whatever religious persua sion, and in others, from an impression that money should not be levied for the building or support of schools to which masters have not been appointed. We beg leave to suggest to your Excellency, (his Majesty the King, being the Patron of all the Dioce san and District schools now unprovided with masters), the propriety of appointing masters to the vacant schools, under this condition, that the persons to be appointed shall, until school-houses can be pro vided for them by this Board, teach school in the towns selected by the Lord Lieutenant and Council in private houses, to be hired by themselves. WAI. C. QUIN, Secretary. Board of Education, April 8, 1830, By advices from Gibraltar, we learn that the King of SPAIN hsd . replied to the memorial of the mer chants respecting tobacco having been prohibited in the free port of Cadiz, in etaitravention of the promise made when the franchise was given, that a year's notice should be given prior to any proidbitory order. The Kiwe has in formed the memorialists that the prohibition is removed, and that the franchise of the port of Cadiz is, in every respect, to be oa..Tved agreeably to the decree by which it was first enfranchised. It was the determination of the merchants, had this not been done, to quit the place, as the port would have been only nominally free, and they would have been subject to other prohibitions at the caprice of the Government. A young country girl attended at Worship.; street Office, yesterday, and charged two girls with robbing her of her shawl. The poor girl stated that she was per suaded by a female, about a fortnight ago, to leave bet father's house in Yorkshire, and come to London, where the female said she would live like a lady, and make her !Orton?. She wag, however, miserably nisappcittred ; the female took her to a low brothel, and where she had since resided. The Magistrate ordered her to be taken care of in St. Luke's workhouv, and promised to write to her father on the subject. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, MAY 26. Alexander Brown, Catherine his wife, and Thomas Arnold, were indicted for assaulting James Cox.—The parties were all in very humble life, and are neighbours residing in the same court. The assault was clearly proved, and was of a nature which might rupture the man for life. They were found guilty, with the exception of Catherine Brown. The CHAIRMAN sentenced them to two months' imprisonment. Instantly on the sentence being pronounced, the prosecutor's wife rushed forward, dropped on her knees, and with tears streaming down her cheeks, and with as much earnestness as if she were pleading for herself, addressed the Chairman, and said," Oh, Sir, forgive them, Sir—don't send them to prison— we'll forgive them, Sir—we don't want to send them to prison—they have families, Sir, arid that man (pointing to Arnold) has a child now lyingdead —he has a child now lying dead in his house. Oh do forgive them, Sir." Again and again, still remaining on her knees, this kind-hearted, though humbly stationed, woman, repeated her intercessions in nearly the same words. Her husband also joined with her, saying, that all he wanted was security that they would not molest him for the future. The CHAIRMAN, who was evidently moved by the unaffected earnestness of the appeal, rescinded the former sentence, and merely ordered them to be detained till they could find bail for their good behaviour. The poor woman, who had remained on her knees till the sentence had been thus altered, now rose, and thanked the Court in a manner that could leave no doubt of the sincerity and disinterested ness of her appeal. Her conduct was viewed with admiration by the whole Court. Mr. ADOLPHUS observed, that he never bud wit nessed a finer instance of humanity, and her conduct would have done credit to the highest person in the land. Several other gentlemen of the bar expressed themselves to a similar effect. LOVE AND SUlClDE.—Yesterday an in quest was held at the Princess Royal, Paul-street, Fins bury, on the body of Thomas TILLY, aged twenty-four. The deceased returned from sea a few weeks ago after a long voyage. Previous to his departure he had paid hi s addresses to a young woman, to whom it was arranged be should be married on his return. The young woman however, in the interim, plighted her vows to another, and refused to receive the deceased as her lover. On Tuesday night the deceased, after supping with his family hung himself in his bed-room.—The Jury returned a ver dict of Insanity. The following is an extract of a letter from Valparaiso :—" After the action of the 14th December, in which LASTRA and VIEL obtained some advantages over PRIETO, the latter General, by a manoeuvre, com pletely recovered things. Finding the day gone against him, be demanded an armistice, and a conference with the adverse chiefs, who, accordingly with their suite, ad vanced to meet him. He, however, having planted an ambush, surrounded and made them prisoners, and com pelled them to assent to a treaty, in which the chief com mand of both the forces is assigned to the- Captain-General PRIERE, of whom PRIETO is a partisan. A Provisional Junta is to be chosen by the people of the capital, and a Congress ultimately to be chosen, with a view to form a permanent Government. Every thing, however, looks very unsettled." DEFAULTER.—The example of ROWLAND STEPHENSON has extended even to Gainsborough, and has found an imitator in the conduct of late clerk to Messrs. BRIGIITMORE and Co., wbarfingers, who a fortnight ago absconded with somewhere about 1,0001., the fruits of his depredations, to America. Latterly the clerk had done a little on his own account in the corn trade, which enabled him to extend the sphere of his operations, and to get such a sum into his hands as to make it worth his while; and several farmers in the neighbourhood will thus have reason to regret their so readily giving credit to specious professions. On Monday the 3d inst. he set off for Donaaster, professing to be going to York on business : at Doncaster he managed to get some bills turned into cash ; at Sheffield he succeeded in converting all his local paper also into specie; and on Wednesday or Thursday after, he sailed from Liverpool for New York. Being, it is alleged, the natural son of the late Mr. , publican, of Newark, the defaulter's early life was that of a post-boy ; and afterwards as an ostler at Sleaford he commenced his career of adventure. Subsequently he served both in the army and navy; but whether he thought it necessary to wait to be regularly discharged from either service is doubtful. We next hear of him as a clerk in a merchant's counting-house at Trieste ; but tie steps by which he subsequently progressed are not very well known : it is enough to state that from a timber-merchant's yard at Bourn, he went to Gains borough, to learn the art and myst ery o f a, corn-merchant; and although the transition does not appear to be a very regular one, he was thence taken into Mr. BRIGHTMORE'S counting-house as a wharf] nger. Being an active man, with no little speciousness in his address, he contrived to place himself in such a situation as to enable him to gather a considerable sum together to transplant himself and his fortunes to another hemisphere.--Boston Gaz., PRICE 71).
