We refer to our readers to our report of the pro ceedings yesterday, at the Meeting at the London University. It will be seen that there has been a considerable increase in the receipts this year above those of last year. Mr. Brougham's answer to the = various charges against the Institution appears to US candid and satisfactory. We confess we are in _ clined to think Dr. Bowring has been misinformed, - whe❑ he states that Dissenting candidates of supe- I riot acquirements have been rejected on account of their creed. If a majority of the Professors be of the Established Church, that may easily be accounted f t g b c trlasfttil.,, l o ),:a,rn i ti::d r e isntrsit : snis,:iciettpy f dat c eht.i r nhim o si o aett,ce. x aele m li n mosir.exi,Treel, m :seesi t htALtetd i t irl ' tr z ehiplio e e r iese i ait,enD i ott.id e t t teoegcuo y i liilt r jigt,bsyitrti c oh: l lieeib ) u uleilat e estlteehn m rbii l rieic o si(tlirolt s sielui n tri,thg‘f t r,: : : ' aa l sflgfig l i i eutoitn :n tiaice c riei g ice2 e sti;atflaleletiyit o ,ilo c ie,: f smfa h prinoetvmela t i viloli e : h .loreiooro fl %st e iassfe.lsai y emttioeoig e r.pidtlsfli t ( iha l nteio o :itietam eo,l.si i ,7o,y) ) uie si tfilcaigi t iz i laittelia a ' as t lrlitos b ridt i ctiHilid i t‘.ia l mu ' i,:o i t ' attrttrini,ithenigte h ,l; o c.s..er.s.,; - , f t tisements or lectures were much more than a year old, when the real time for Dissenters to have come forward to assist them was the first starting of the project of the University, now about five years ago." We fear the Dissenters, as a body, have suffered in more ways than one, from the narrow spirit which has excluded them from our seats of liberal learning. They are never without some education, but seldom possess much. From having been so long deprived of the means of obtaining a liberal education, on the principle of the Head of the Louvain University, of whom Goldsmith makes mention, who thought that as neither he nor any of his predecessors knew Greek, that language might very well be dis pensed with, they have, in like manner, brought themselves to believe that what was not within their reach was not worth possessing. When the Dissenters were few in number, they were rich in learned men; and the names which form the chief boast of the Church of England were obtained from the Non-Con's, as Lightfoot, Wilkins, Stillingfleet, Tillotson, Butler, and a host of others. NVith a few distinguished exceptions, the Dissenters, though often eloquent men, rank low in learning. We trust that the facility of obtaining a liberal education will in time produce proper effects on them; and that we shall not continue to hear so poor an excuse for the want of elevation in their views as that urged for them by Dr. Bowring. No man will pretend to say that any of the Professors have made their chairs available for the promulga tion of any particular religious opinicn, and under such circumstances Dissenting parents, duly sensible of the advantages of a liberal education, must have strange notions of what they owe to their children if they deprive them of such an advantage, because, forsooth, Dr. Dale and Dr. Lardner's adrertise ments follow close upon the announcement of Mr. M'Culloch'■ Lectures. No—the cause lies much deeper. The monopoly of education, which, to the disgrace of the English Aristocracy, has so long been confined to the Establishment and to two small towns in a great nation, has lowered the tone of the middle classes generally, arid particularly of the Dissenters. This is much to be lamented ; for a greater curse cannot befall a nation than the uni versal devotion of the middle classes to sordid pursuits, by which at length the end comes to be lost sight of in the means. There is too little in this country to counteract the greediness of gain, and the rage for mere material enjoyments.—Aforn ing Chronicle. aviga- ry ge ment, he ac- Papers ?acidic fitted Dc acy of ur en- 183 PRICE 7D easUie cts re- parti md to rtance he in- which ;inally uently EAST INDIA HOUSE, Faa. 24, 1830.

We must frankly say, then, that the nation expects more to be done. It is its situation, and that only, which impels it to entertain that expectation, for there never was a time when disaffection mingled itself less with feelings resulting from severe distress. We cannot help, therefore, joining our vows and wishes to those of all we hear, that in the future detail of public accounts some more objects may present themselves upon which a retrenchment may be effected; and, as a practical proof of the affection which the Sovereign and his Ministers bear to the country, and of their sympathy in its sufferings, that some grinding tax may be removed.—Times.

Brand and Corbet waited upon the Lorin Msvort, as a Part of a Deputation from the operative Button-makers of Bir mingham, to present to his Lordship a very elegant specimen of their gilt buttons, in the expectation that his Lordship would patronise the trade. They stated that thousands would be belie_ fitted by the extension of the trade, which the existing fashion rendered very ►lack, and they expressed a hope that his Lordship would wear the buttons himself; and thus give encouragement to the multitudes whom they represented. Under such circuin_ stances they looked forward to a revival of the gilt-button trade in the city. His Majesty, the Duke of Clarence, and several Members of both Houses of Parliament, had been waited upon by the Deputation, and presented with specimens, and promises had been given of patronage by several of the most exalted ranks in society. The LORD MAYOR accepted of the present with great satisfac tion. He could not promise to wear the buttons during hi s Mayoralty. as his costume was fixed to the close of his office; but when he should have concluded his labours as Chief Magistrate, lie should certainly do as the Deputation had requested. Alderman VENABLES, who was present during this conversa tion, said lie remembered having heard Mr. Huskisson, in speak ing of trades, say, that it was impossible to walk without tread. ing upon the toes of some persons. He suspected that the mo. meat the metal buttons were patro;:ised, there would be a cry out amongst those who made silk buttons. The Deputation said, that all that was required was a partici pation. They then returned thanks to the Lord Mayor for hay. ing so courteously received them, UNION-HALL. withu i:poritrhael; eatlt.eretihlwee aa f ts o iet l oocf: juvenile, ti viae, taaces, t t h e e nr whichot s i n st re i o, n its prostitution,count ry,before t he Magis_ t with ra s te y e e l s i te g r s d aoyf pain, rritr) 11 not n b g e i ed r e wit b h y h e o v r e r r o y ,. t n Ty k o n c ig h r il e ] i c! (for neither in age nor appearance ought they to be otherwise termed), pained .:Vary Garnett and Charlotte Greenwood, the first just turned fourteen, and the other wanting a few weeks of being twelve years old, were brought up by inspector F. T. Smith, of the fourth division, for having created a terrible dis turbance on the preceding night, in the New-cut, Lambeth.— The prisoners were dressed as became their years. The youngest, who was a beautiful and interesting-looking little girl, was re markably neatly dressed, and had on a clean white pinafore, which made her look still more like a child. Inspector Smith stated to the Magistrates that the prisoners were two well-known juvenile prostitutes, who were nightly to be seen walking along the Waterloo-road and the adjoining streets. On Tuesday night, between twelve and one o'clock, as the inspector was going his round, he was attracted by seeing a concourse of people as sembled in the New-cut, and on going up to them he observed the two delinquents in the centre, quarrelling most violently, and using the most opproprious epithets towards eaah other, at which the blackguards composing the mob seeme d to be highly delighted. The cause of the quarrel was this :—The youngest prisoner had been with, as she described him, an old gentle man, who had given her half-a-crown. Her poor lost com panion wished to have her share of the wages of prostitution, as a partnership had been entered into between them to honourably divide whatever money they got. This was re fused by the other, who said that that was not the way that she did business, and that she was determined to keep all that she got for herself, as she earned the money hard enough.— So violent were the two prisoners that there was no alternative but taking them to the watch-house, when it was observed, and horrible to relate, that the youngest one was actually pregnant. This circumstance was likewise noticed by the Magistrates, who, as well as every one in the office, were shocked and astounded at such an occurrence. At first it was thought that some peculia rity in the dress might cause this appearance, but this was not the case, and there is no doubt that this poor little unfortu nate victim of headstrong passion —a child not yet twelve years old—is herself with child. Upon inquiries amongst the officers of the establishment it appears that this infant mother" has been on the town for upwards of a year, so that she must have commenced her career of vice and prostitution at ten years of age. A few weeks back the father of this child, who is a very industrious man, residing in the Waterloo-road, brought her before the Magistrates of Union-hall, praying, with tears in his eyes, that they would be good enough to send her to Brixton, as she was incorrigible. Every method had been tried to make her sensible of her conduct, but without any effect, and the keeping her at home was ruinous, for she only corrupted her brothers and sisters. The Magistrates then thought very naturally that such a mere child might be surely managed by her parents, and refused to comply with the application. Both the prisoners seemed to be completely indifferent to their situations, neither of them sheddi ng a single tear.

But let it be well understood what that principle was. It was not favourable to any general theoretic Parliamentary reform—to any dissolution and fan ciful recomposition of the present House of Com mons: it simply averred, that three places of im mense population should be represented in Parlia ment. Nor did it assert the right of popular representation only. Ilis Lordship made a calcula tion of the property in those places, and his motion required a representation for property as well as persons, or for masses of persons in proportion to their property. Against such a motion, then—with something, certainly, of the fearful odium of Parliamentary reform (though most unjustly) hanging about it—there was only a majority of 48 in a House consisting of 328 Members. This we again state to be a triumph ; and as surely as the Catholic question has been carried, so surely will it be carried, that Man chester, Leeds, and Birmingham—places so swarm ing in population, so large in extent, and abounding with so much property—shall have a voice in the councils of the nation. That it is unjust to load the right of these towns to elect representatives in Par liament with the odium of a sweeping Parliamentary Reform, is obvious. We should indeed think that due concession (and concession must come) will but oppose fresh impediments to the revolutionary con fusion of annual elections, and universal suffrage. For is it credible that two Members who have known the pain and sustained the expense, however modified, of canvassing such a town as Manchester, for example, once in seven years, would wish to repeat the experirr.ent every twelve months ? or that those who have been exhausted by their applications to hundreds of the middling ranks of society for their vote and interest, would choose to be worn out, both in body and fortune, by purchasing the sups port of thousands and tens of thousands of the more needy and rapacious classes ? Sir George Murray seemed to think that our present borough represen tation was coeval with the earliest period of the Constitution, and of unbroken prescription and descent, which he therefore would not have med dled with or altered; and from this motive he op posed the motion. Whereas the fact is, that in early times, and from the first known origin of the House of Commons up to a very late date, nothing was more variable than the right of sending Members to Parliament, the King usually calling them by writ from this borough or that, as each rose in opulence or population, and omitting to call them from those towns whose consequence had declined; and Lord John Russell's motion was strictly in analogy with the ancient practice of the Constitution, Parliament only being required to do that which had heretofore been done by the sole authority of the Crown. It it impossible, in a motion of the nature of that which was proposed by h s Lordship on Tuesday night, but that many minor points of distinction must spring up, which afforded loop-holes for eva sion to those who wished to frustrate the general proposition. One was hostile to increasing the number of Members in the House even by six. Had it been determined to wait for the detection of cor ruption before the franchises were transferred from rotten boroughs to large towns, this might have been considered as prejudging the question of guilt ; but it being now clear that Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham, must be represented in Parliament, all trivial and minor objections will, a s i n th e case o f I the Catholic question, vanish.—Times. The conduct of our Government, with respect to our relations with Portugal, cannot be defended on any principle of fair-dealing between nations, or sound policy, us regards the interests of the British empire. In all their transactions relative to the conflicting claims of Don Miguel and the Emperor Pedro they have shown a lamentable deficiency in those better qualifications of diplomacy and states manship which are evidenced by acts of firmness, con sistency, and decision. Leaning at one time to wards the support of the rights of Donna Maria, arid at another giving indirect encouragement to the usurper of her throne, they have forfeited the con fidence of both parties, and sacrificed to a vacillating policy the interests of England. We have protested, and we do protest, against the principle of inter ference, on the part of our Government, with the internal arrangements of other independent nations. That principle has already cost England dear. Had she allowed France to choose her own mode of Government at the Revolution, instead of rushing into a Quixotic crusade to replace a particular family on a throne, which they had not the virtue or courage or wisdom to retain of themselves, the proud spirit of this country would not be now borne down by an incalculable weight of debt, nor would her beggared population have to lament over the mournful glories that strew, like monumental honours, the grave of her prospe rity. Uninstructed in the bitter but salutary wis dom of experience by the calamitous triumphs of that destructive and exhausting war, our Ministers have interfered in the disputed succession to the Crown of Portugal —not, indeed, with the energy that distinguished the fatal councils of those states men who lavished the blood and treasures of Eng. land in support of the Bourbon Dynasty, but in a spirit of evasive, undecided, and equivocating offi ciousness, winch developes no wisdom, supports no principle, and greatly compromises the interests of the nation and the dignity of the Throne. If the Duke of Wellington had resolved to vindicate the r ights of the infant Donna Maria, when he had her introduced at Court, and received as Queen of Portugal in this country, why did he not pursue that course in a manly, vigorous, and straightforward way ? If he did riot, what a mockery it was of her cause, and the hopes of her adherents, to make the Infant go through the ceremonies and parade of royalty, in the presence of our King arid before the eyes of Europe, only to send her back to the nursery to amuse herself with the sceptre and crown, not as the symbols of empire, but the bau bles of childhood ! Let us, however, suppose that Don Miguel had the sympathies of our Government the time the farce of baby-sovereignty was played , ff at Windsor, and continued to have the good fishes of our Ministers since—as the affair at Ter ira and other circumstances make highly pro .ble—why, we ask, has the matter been involved such mystery up to the present time ? Are Mi- Aers ashamed of their protege while 'hey pro iote his interests ? Have they been delaying his cognition to try the temper of the country, and •ait the turn of events, in accordance with their .vourite doctrine of expediency ? The personal description which Lord Aberdeen gave of Don Miguel, in the debate of Thursday night, was not, indeed, a very complimentary one; and, if that Prince, instead of contesting his claim to a Crown, was standing upon his deliverance at the bar of a Criminal Court, and called the Noble -Se cretary for Foreign Affairs as a witness to character,' his testimony would not avail him much in the opinion of any twelve honest men. Ile said, " the Prince Don Miguel was false and treacherous and incorrigible, and that it could not be denied there was no principle in him. He was, besides, weak and timid and cruel, inasmuch as cruelty is ever the offspring of 'cowardice:" This is certainly a more faithful than flattering portrait of the present occu pant of the Throne of Braganza. It has the for tunes of inveterate depravity, without the relieving traits of talent which Tacitns ascribes to the Emperor Tiberius. We do not give Lord Aberdeen credit for using the historical pencil with so nice and dis criminating an accuracy of touch as the great annalist of imperial Rome—but he certainly de serves the praise of not having too highly coloured the virtues or concealed the defects of a Prince suspected of enjoying no small share of his political sympathies. He shows, however, that morality has nothing to do with the subject, when he says that, " after all, he thought it unwise to dwell so much on the personal character of a Prince, and to hold it up as a motive to influence public opinion. The question did not turn on the character of the Monarch. To him it was comparatively immaterial whether Don Miguel was a Nero or a Titus—his object was the interest and reciprocal advantage of the two countries. He could not deny that he had usurped the Throne of Portugal ; yet, though he would not enter into the question of law or right, he must admit that the people of Portugal, after all, were the most proper and most competent judges. It could not be denied that it had been decided by a vast majority that he was the legitimate heir to the Throne—and from that decision no valid appeal could be made." If this, indeed, be Lord Aberdeen's opi nion, and also that of the Duke of Wellington, and if the personal character of Don Miguel be immaterial, why do our relations with Por tugal continue as unsettled as if Ministers were yet in doubt whether they would assist to place the sceptre of Braganza in the hand of infant innocence, or prefer that it should be wielded by the more vigorous grasp of matured depravity ? It is true, we cannot well understand how the same person can be a " usurper" and " legitimate heir" to the Throne; but, as Lord Aberdeen considers that no valid appeal can be made from the decision of the Portuguese, wherefore does he refrain from advising his Majesty to admit Don Miguel among the fraternity of Kings ? It is evident, from their own showing, that Ministers have long since come to the conclusion that it is their duty to advise the recognition—for what reason, then, do they hesi tate and temporize about the matter, to the great detriment of the commercial interests of the country? Why all this shunning and evasion and mystery about what they tell us is, both in principle and in fact, so clear a question ? Why the long dalliance and eternal coquetry of Lord Aberdeen with the Court of Lisbon, and with the Prince who has been " declared legitimate heir to the Throne by a deci sion from which there is no appeal ? He declares that he looks only to the reciprocal advantage of the two countries. Is it not to the reciprocal mischief, instead of the mutual advantage, of both countries that this question should remain so long unsettled ? Are net the interests of commerce sacrificed to the timid indecision of our Cabinet ? If the Genius that presides over our Cosnicils concedes a certain degree of patronage to his successful ambition, which it would be ashamed to extend to his virtues only, wherefore proceed so tardily to consummate the intended union between the two countries ? If the aspiring youth who swore alle giance to " the Charter" only to trample it under his feet—who has made the most solemn and sacred engagements " false as dicers' oaths"—who has risen superior to the claims of humanity, and severed die ties of nature, that he might encircle his brows with the " glorious diadem;"--if such a Prince makes political love to the Genius of Great Britain, and it is resolved by the guardians of the national honour that his addresses shall be ultimately admitted —why does the Noble Secretary for Foreign Af fairs so slowly lead him, with his " blushing ho nours," to the regal altar, and proceed to ratify the auspicious alliance " with coy, reluctant, amorous delay ?" Did Ministers consider the merchants of both countries worth being con sulted on the occasion, we have no doubt their opinion might be substantially expressed in the words of the great thematic Bard :—" If 'twere done, when 'tie done, then 'twere well if it were done quickly." What advantage, we ask, can either country derive from that evasive and equivocating policy which keeps the enemies and adherents of Don Miguel in alternate hope and fear, leading to the crimes, the follies, the misery, and the desolation Of civil war Do not the rights of humanity, as well as the interests of commerce, require that this state of things should terminate ? We do not charge the Duke of Wellington's Government with having, in the first instance, involved us in this officious inter ference with the internal regulations of Portugal; it was a coup de theatre of the late Mr. Canning, who, to the brilliant qualities of an orator and a wit, did not unite the steadiness and wisdom of a judici ous Statesman. Mr. Canning himself, after having taken the rash step, seemed to have been aware of the error which he had committed, though he did not know how to repair it. The original sin was his : but the Statesmen who impeached his motives, and who succeeded to his power, have not yet treated this question in a manner more consistent with the interests, or more advantageous to the ho nour of England.—Morning Herald. We understand that the plan of Ministers, for the relief of the public from the present monopoly in the sale of Ale, Beer, &c., is to allow them to be sold like other commodities in the shops of grocers and chandlers. This will be a great benefit to the pub lic. There is no earthly reasoa why beer should be received from a public-house. The great public brewers would still supply the commodity, for the best of all reasons, because they could furnish it of better quality at the same price than private indi viduals or small brewers. It is in the public-houses, too, that the adulteration goes on both in beer and spirits. A great brewer hazards too much by using deleterious ingredients, and too many persons are privy to his operations. But the system of licensing has rendered personal character of no earthly conse quence. One fellow is detected poisoni ng t h e people ; die license is not to him, but to the house; or, at least, the owner of the house is sure to have it next licensing day, and a fresh occupant makes his appearance. We anticipate the best conse quences from this change. It is to be regretted that so many brewers have been tempted, under the monopoly system, to embark their capital in public- 1 he disposition of the House of Commons for Fi nancial Reform, is by this time pretty correctly appre ciated. The higher ranks of this country have been for too great a length of time in the practice of quarter ing their children on the public, to renounce it as long as a penny can be wrung from the people. We must keep up establishments, says a Right Hon. Gentleman on one side of the House; we must not let our establishments down, says a Noble Lord, or a Gallant General, on the opposite side; and thus while all are eulogizing economy and retrenchment, any Member who goes honestly to work, and descends from generals to particulars, is deserted by all but a small band of incorruptibles.—Tuesday night the Honourable House were engaged on Con stitutional Reform, on the motion of Lord John Russell, for leave to bring in a Bill to enable the towns of Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds to send Representatives to the, House of Commons, in which Bill should be a Clause suspending the preroga tive of the Crown—if any boroughs be disfranchised for corrupt practices till three boroughs have been dis franchised. One of these towns, Manchester, has a population little short of 200,000, and is rated to the County Rates at 750,0001. a year. The property of the town is estimated at thirty millions. It does certainly seem that that must be a singular state of the representation which excludes such a town from all participation in the elective franchise, while a knot of individuals, hardly possessing more property, returns more than a majority of the Representa tives ! Sir George Murray thought that this was all as it ought to be—" it was a Gothic structure ; he rejoiced that it was in the style of architecture which was the favourite of our ancestors. He was no great admirer of modern edifices; and he rather believed that the Noble Lord himself (Lord John Russell) had been as disgusted as himself at the efforts of a neighbouring nation to erect a Grecian Temple, which, however, when completed, was found to be far inferior in beauty and durability to the old English Constitution.—(Hear, Rotten Boroughs for ever ! All these modern edifices are so defective that they cannot pre vent the people from influencing the elections, and as the Representatives yield obedience to the popular will, they come into collision with the will of the Monarchy and the Aristocracy. Now the beauty of the Gothic system is, that the Monarchy and Aristocracy name a majority of the Represt,nta dyes of the people; and having, therefore, nothing to dread from the people, the Government can hardly fail to work well. The King and the Ari stocracy have both the strongest interest in dipping deeply into the pockets of the people; and as long as there is money for both, it is not likely they should, by their differences, allow the people to put a stop to this—to them so beneficial art operation. No wonder the Gothic system should be such a favourite. No modern Constitutional Edifice will ever be able to boast of an Old Sarum, a Gatton, or a West bury. Mr. Peel took the bull by the horns. " The people of England (he said) must live wider a li mited Monarchy. They had a House of Lords, and a m King, oe rat and a principle House were of j o m p t t m e d on s b ; y and te a i firinainisoerd.i majority Commons, its functions would become totally in consistent with the principles of the House of Lords and a limited Monarchy." The English of this is, that a limited Monarchy and a House of Lords can onl House of )er.
