r COURT OF CHANCERY. -(THIS DAY.) Sir HURRAY V. IHEAT ND OTHERS. E. SUDDEN moved that the costs of a notice of :14.°11°rtsi°i given ear l y i n the year 1828 by the defendant to i ve an injunction, might be paid, and also the costs of various other proceedings. The bill was filed by Mr. array, the b oo k seller, to restrain Mr. Heath from wiling or p art i ng with certain impressions which he had taken for himself, illustrative of original designs by the late Rev. Air. Crabb and Lord Byron, when employed to make the engraving for the plaintiff. The defendant alleged that it !vas customary for engravers to take a number of copy Impressions for themselves, not exceeding eight. Issues were directed and tried, as well as an action of trover, to try the plaintiff's right. Mr. Heath became a bankrupt, and hio assignees defended the proceedings. Notices of m any motions were given. The costs, from time to time, of the E q ui ty Proceedings, had b een or d ere d t o s t an d over un til ITt was ascertained how the legal title would be decided. The P lai ntiff had now esta bli s h e d hi s l ega l t i g h t. injunction still stood ; no answer was put in to the bill, and the bill was, therefore, to be taken as one that established the plaintiff's title. The present application, th erefore, was, that the casts of the above .tices of m ot i on, and of all the other costs not yet paid, by the d ! nc ludicg the costs of the trial of the issue, might be paid M efendants. Th e facts were supported by affidavit. r. STEWART was on the same side. The ATTOR NEY -GENERAL and Mr. GRIDLESTRUE were the Counsel who were originally for the defendants, but they had no instructions to appear now.—Motion granted. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE ATTO RNEY -GENERAL V. BRENTWOOD SCHOOL. Mr. BXCKERSTETH stated, that he was requested to ask his Honour to allow this case to be put in his paper on an early day. The Court had directed a case for the opinion of the C ourt of King's Bench ; that opinion having been given, the matter came before his Honour again, but as the parties appeared likely to come to a compromise the ease was ordered to stand over. The attempt to compro mise having failed, the present application became necessary.

The LORD CHIEF JusricE said they would make no order respecting a committal to Newgate ; but, under the circumstances, it would be necessary for the defendant to give security, himself in 2001., and two others in 100/. each, and that a week's notice of the bail be given. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY. JUDGMENT.-JACKSON V. FARRAR. This was an action brought to recover the amount of a tailor's bill ; the disputed point in which was whether the credit was given to the father or son. It appeared that Farrar, jun., for a time dealt with his father's tailor, but finding fauit with the prices he charged he refused to have any thing more there, when his father desired him to go where he would lie better served. At the trial the Learned Judge was of opinion that the credit was given to the son, and directed the Jury to find accordingly. A Rule to set aside that verdict was ob tained and argued during the present term, when their Lordships took time to consider of their judgment. This morning Lord LYNDHURST gave the judgment of the Court. He said that, on looking at all the evidence in the cause, they were of opinion that the direction of the Learned Judge was correct. There was a letter in evidence from the plaintiff himself to Farrar, jun., in which he said " I can only look to you for payment, I have no claim upon your father." They had also looked at the book in which Farrar, sen., kept his cash accounts with his son, as it was suggested that in it they would see something to show that Farrar, sen., held himself liable, but in that book they had found nothing to alter their opinion. The rule therefore must be discharged. Rule discharged accordingly. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) MESSRS. PRY AND CHAPMAN'S BANKRUPTCY.. This morning there was a very numerous attendance of the creditors of these bankrupts. A few debts of in considerable amount having been proved, a further divi dend of 54. upon the separate estate of William Fry, and an extra dividend of upon the bankrupts' joint estate were declared. There remain considerable convertible assets available to the creditors. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, JAN. 30.—Wind his Majesty's ship Castor, from a cruise.

The contest for this place will, it is expected, be a severe one. Captain Stanhope, the former Member, but who was thrown out at the last election, is indirectly supported by the late committee of Mr. Thompson, and directly by all the independents, as the Whigs call them selves here. Mr. Macomb has all the Radicals on his side, and most of the middle tradesmen ; but what is ex. traordinary—if any thing that the Tories can do ought to appear extraordinary—is, that be is also supported by the Tories. The chances, therefore, are, I think rather in his favour. But what a combination, the Ultra-Radicals and the Tories ! Lord Durham has been solicited by the friends of Captain Stanhope to use his influence in favour of that gentleman, but I believe he has refused to take any part in the matter. His Lordship, however, has been doing some good here. He and Mr. Edward Ellice, the late Secretary of the Treasury, have made minute inquiries into the expense of the packet establishment, and it is pro bable that most of those connected with it, and who are Tories, will fall under the retrenching knife of Ministers. If I am correctly informed, there are five Captains of Go vernment packets, whose incomes from fixed salary and per centage fees amount to upwards of 8001. per annum each ; and one of them has an additional 2001. per annum for being Commodore. On this branch of the Post-office .ervice alone 2,0001. per annum can be saved. If the Duke of Rh:h►nnies eyes are shut to such abuses, those of independent Members of Parliament are not, and he may be assured that a rigid inquiry will be made into every branch of the public expenditure. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after the reading of the commission on Tuesday, took the oaths singly at the table of the House of Lords. The certificate of the 16 Peers elected for Scotland was then handed in, read, and ordered to he entered on the journals. Earl GREY will give a grand dinner to a party of the Members of the House of Peers on Monday next, at his official residence in Downing-street. Among those who have been invited are his Royal HiEhness the Duke of SUSSEX, the Dukes of NORFOLK and RicitstoNn, Mar quises WELLESLEY, CLA NRICARDE, TA VISTOC I:, and LANSDOWNE, Etas ALBEMARLE, CARLISLE, BURLING TON, SEFTON, Lords GODERICII, FOLEY, MELBOURNE, AUCKLAND, His MAJESTY'S speech on op-ning the Session of the Reformed Parliament will be read by the Noble Premier to his distinguished guests, among whom will he the mover and seconder of the address. Viscount A LTIIORP has issued cards for a grand Parliamentary dinner on Monday next, in Down. ing-street, to a party of the Members of the House of Common, including the mover and seconder of the ad dress. His Lordship intend@ to give a series of Parlia. mentary dinners during the Session. Sir J. GRAHAM entertained Earl GREY and the other Cabinet Ministers at dinner, on Tuesday evening, at his residence in the Admiralty. Baron STOCKMAR, the friend and confiden tial Secretary of the King of the BELGIANS, who has just departed for Brussels, is understood to be the bearer of a private communication from our Cabinet to King Latoroi.n. Lord WHARNCLIFF has declared himself unequivocally in favour of the ballot, and if the question is mooted this Session he will give it his decided support. There have been many converts in favour of the measure, who formerly considered the ballot fraught with imminent danger to the Constitution, and inconsistent with the spirit of a popular election. It is now, however, contended, and truly, that it would relieve dependent electors from their trammels, and enable voters to exercise their free will. Petty tyrants could then no longer trample on their tenants —tradesmen could vote without giving offence to their customers—and Candidates of honour, integrity, and the fairest pretensions, would be elected Members to serve in the House of Commons. A commercial treaty with the French Govern ment, which is said to be on the Lapis, has lately occupied the attention of the Ministry. Lord LANSDOWNE and Mr. P. THOMSON have been in constant communication with Lord GREY on the subject. The Honourable Colonel GREY has had a suite of apartments in Downing -street, fitted up for his accommodation as Private Secretary to the First Lord of the Treasury. When Mr. ELLICE left town on his tour to the Continent, the appointment of Colonel GREY at Private Secretary to the Noble Earl, his father, was un derstood to be pro tem. ; but the Gallant Colonel, we have reason to know, has been since confirmed in the post, as well as Mr. CHARLES WOOD, who, it was at first b'lieved, would only officiate for Mr. ELLICE during his absence. CONTEMPLATED ALTERATION IN THE SUGAR TRADE. -The following aie the details of the new system about to be introduced into the sugar trade, alluded to last week :—The cane juice about to be imported into Great Britain goes through the process to that point which prevents fermentation on the voyage ; it has been contracted for at 15s. per cwt. deliverable in this country, the buyer paying freight, insurance, and ail other charges. Lord AUCKLAND, the President of the Board of Trade, has authorized the import at a duty of 12s. per cwt. ; of course the latter will be liable to alteration according to circumstances ; it will thus be laid down on the wharf at the rate of 325. to 335. per cwt., and it is calculated that one•half the weight will be sugar. DOVER, TUESDAY.—Arrived Le Courier, French post-office packet, with Prince CZARTORINSKI and Cady, and about thirty other passengers. Lord Dun- HAM left this place for London yesterday, but returns in a few days. The arrangements for a daily mail to and from Paris are still under consideration ; but it is said will be finally settled in a few days. The point of difficulty seems to be the sea conveyance of the letter bags, the land trans mission of them, from the two metropolises to the out ports, by coaches and carts, being now in actual operation. The Experiment, revenue cruiser, sent to the Dover Customhouse yesterday a seizure of a lugger, call-d God Sure the King, belonging to Hastings, with 105 casks of spirits of brandy, and one min, THOMAS SWAIN. Three others escaped, after knocking down and ill treating the mate and two men belonging to the Experiment, REPEAL OF THE UNION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIII,-Who is there in this widely spread and widely spreading metropolis, from the inhabitants of palaces to the inmates of prisons—from the Peer to the Pauper— that has not heard of Irish education? And where, under the wide canopy of Heaven, is the country to be found, tr whose eternal happiness greater zeal has been devoted, or for whose growth in grace greater desire has been manifest ed, than Ireland? Talk of our sympathy for Poland indeed ! 'Tis true, the best and the bravest in our land deplored her fall. The philanthropist wept as he remembered her glories, and the veteran sighed as he stretched out his shrivelled arm, for a moment renerved and reanimated in her cause. But for the mental darkness of Ireland is the annual hallowed heaving of tbe female bosom alonere served. For her blindness alone does the bright eye of beauty overflow, as Erin's itinerant emigrant in the person of a Daly, a Wolfe, a Pope, or a Griffith, describes in a strain of impassioned eloquence—President Lord BEXLEY, in the chair—and in the hearing of a deputation of every sainted Auxiliary Bible Society in this side of George's Channel—the scarcity of Scriptural lore among the super stition-loving peasantry of Munster and Connaught. Nor has British sympathy for Irish ignorance been confined t,, mere condolence. Parliament granted, and saints sub scribed sums to enlighten the peasantry of Ireland, to ar, amount that would almost lead us to expect a population of graduated philosophers. Peeresses have plighted promises, and sometimes pledged themselves to redeem from spiritual bondage their soul-enslaved fellow-beings is a siste. island ; whilst Misses intrusted with half-crowns each to purchase two-and-sixpenny silk stockings, have preferred darning the old ones for months to come, to have the opportunity of subscribing for the conversion of the wild " Hirish." Of two things Great Britain has never al _ lowed Ireland to feel the wart—bayonets and Bibles. She might at any time repeat Cato's soliloquy, for her " bane and antidote" were always in her presence, and besides she was saved the moat disagreeable part of the tragedy when ever its performance was deemed requisite; being, instead of agent and object, simply the object. Ireland has truly a right to be thankful, for what England calls justice bag always been tempered with mercy, when administered to her. Irishmen may have been starved to death, but, then, let it be remembered that the bread of life and fountains of living waters were offered them : they may have perished by the sword which should only have been drawn in their defence ; but, again, let it not be for gotten that no means were left untried to prepare them for immortality ! The maxim of the Monk in the story of the drowning Jew, seems to have been a favourite one with John Bull on many occasions, as be has often been ac tuated by the most Christian and charitable motives in killing his neighbours, having reasoned himself into the belief that it was acting more the part of a saint to send them to Heaven perforce, than suffer them to take their own time in going to Hell ! Unhappily for mankind, Jahn was not the only one that held this opinion, or acted upon a supposed real or affected conviction of its truth. The first successful attempt made to establish an Eng lish system of education in Ireland was in the early part of the reign of Charles the First, during the Lieutenancy of the Earl of Strafford, when seven Royal schools were founded in different parts of the kingdom, but chiefly in the north, and tracts of land adequate, and only appli cable to their support, were granted by the Crown. The object of these schools was not the dissemination of the rudiments of learning amongst all classes of the King's subjects, but solely amongst the children of those who conformed to the religion of the State. The absurd fa brication of a Gunpowder Plot in the preceding reign hail afforded Sir A. Chichester, James's Lieutenant in Ireland, and his profligate associates and successors, Parsons and Borlase, the means of confiscating six counties in the north of Ireland, and several fine estates in the west, the unoffending peasantry of which were driven to seek shelt e r in the woods, whilst their places were supplied by a race whose superior merit consisted in greater pliability of con science, and for their descendants were the schools chiefly intended. Still the number of Protestants was far from being considerable, and, as a taste for belles lettres, and indeed learning of every kind, had given way to theologi cal attainments, such schools became either sinecures, or, to spe ik in metaphor, the artificial hotbeds, in which budding bigotry bloomed and ripened int, fierce, fearless, furious fanaticism. This perversion of taste and misap plication of study arose out of that fondness which man kind have evinced in all ages of following the examples of those whom themselves have set up to be their rulers. James, whose pedantry was only equalled by his ignorance and cowardice, was not half so tenacious of his rank as a King, or of his abilities as a Statesman, as he was of his soundness as a Scholar, or his subtleness as a Divine; and as uniformity of sentiment only led to distinction in the State, self-interest created a passion in the higher classes which their influence extended to the lowest. Objects could not possibly be more remote than those of Charles and the Earl of S'raffird in founding these schools. The former hoped by them to convince his dis affected subjects of his paternal solicitude for the welfare of the Protestant portion of the community, and of his detestation of the Catholics, to whom his enemies pretended to believe him partiil, whilst the latter expected either to drive, by the odious distinction, the Catholics of the pale into rebellion, and so have a pretext for further confisca tion, or, by shutting out from tbe Catholics, as much as possible, the means of gratuitous instruction, virtually dis qualify them for the discharge of duties appertaining to honourable offices in the State. The designs of both were suspected, but other circums , ances occurred to frustrate their schemes, already known to every reader of English history. The advantage which the Protestants derived from the Royal schools, was more than counterbalanced to the Catholics by the labours of their clergy, on whom devolved the instruction of the poor, and who were, gene ral:y speaking, infinitely superior to the creatures of the Administration on whom the mastership. of the Royal schools were bestowed. The landing of Cromwell in Ireland, and the settle ment of his followers in that country, disorganized, but did not destroy the Royal Schools, which, after the rest°. ration, were approved of by the King, and had their claims strengthened, and possessions enlarged by additional charters. Their number was likewise increased, and every means adopted to make them more eff,ctive, but to no purpose. It was not until 1695, three years after the signing of the famous treaty of Limerick, and in violation of the articles which the English had sworn to observe, that laws were passed making it penal for a Catholic to be educated as such, either in or out of the kingdom, and offering re wards for the apprehension of Popish schoolmasters! During the reign of William, these sanguinary and detes • table enactments were productive of, comparatively speak ing, little injury, as the King was himself deeply sensi ble of the just odium with which posterity would regard such flagrant acts of treachery. His successor, however, was troubled with no such qualms of conscience, and in 1703. Anne permitted the English Statute Book to be stained by laws which, so long as the world exists, will call down execration on the memory of those by whom they were enacted. Not only were schoolmasters forbidden to teach, but rewards were offered for their apprehension ; so that the hunting of them became a profitable as well as a fashionable amusement ! Still the heavenly fire was not extinguished : persecution purified, and fanaticism fanned the flame. The sequestered vale, the deep glen, the lonely wood, the silent forest, the trackless mountain, and the concealed cave, became severally the seminaries in which knowledge, divine and human, was conveyed by proscribed wisdom to unconsciously offending innocence. Ages of experience at last forced the conviction on the minds of men generally, that all coercive measures are least available to the eradication of opinions, and that error, instead of b e i ng d estroye d b y i gnorance, i s pro d uce d and fostered by it. In despite of Court intrigue, and Castle influence, to whom all abuse was emolument, the benefit of this discovery at last reached Ireland, in the repeal of some of the most detestable of the penal laws in the early part of the reign of George 111. The tolera tion of the Catholic religion, and the granting a sum an nually to the support of a College for the priesthood of that faith, were undoubtedly amongst the wisest mea sures adopted by that Monarch during his long reign. The great misfortune was, that either every measure for the relief of Ireland was incomplete, or came only when it could no longer be withheld. Hail Catholic emancipa tion passed in 1782 instead of ise9, Ireland would now have been the must flourishing and happy portion of the British dominions. The state of o r ance to which a long period of un exampled cruelty, combined with a barbarous system of internal and external policy, reduced the poor of Ireland, as well as the misery, wretchedness, and propensity to outrage, of which that ignorance was so fertile, at last wrung from the people of England a confession of the evils inflicted on that unhappy country, which was fol lowed by the adoption of messures far their redres , . As every party attributed the evils to a different source, each proposed a different means of removing them, the whole agreeing only on one point—the necessity of education being communicated to, or diffused amongst, the poor. For this laudable purpose societies were formed, money was subscribed, cheap copies of the Scriptures were pro cured, and every thing done that editions zeal, frenzied fanaticism, or overweening vanity could do to effect the; ourpose. In 1801, a Society or Association " for dis countenancing vice" was established, to which Parliament made annual grants to the amount, in round numbers, of from one thousand pounds in the infancy of the Insti'u 'ion, to nine and above; averaging, from the commence ment, about six thousand a-year. The Society for the Edit .ation of the Poor, better known by the n ame o f t h e " Kil fare street Society," was organised in 1816, and to this Parliament, up to 1830, granted sums to the amount of twenty.five thousand pounds annually, to be applied in the Tection of schools throughout Ireland, and the furnishin2 of requisites, and providing proper persons to instruct the eople. As the grants of land originally made to support Charter Schools, were represented as inadequate to their support, Parliament voted annually sums varying from Five to thirty-eight thousand pounds for their relief; with t,r a a n n t t s s , in in aid everyo of Schools,partof t a; K o r d i i n n g g d to om their When tothis is represented s. is added annual grants to the Belfast institution, the Hibernian Society for educating the children of the sol fiery, and the donations of charitable individuals, man. of whom support schools at their own expense, with the lab .urs of the Auxiliary Bible, Sunday School, and Tract Societies, one is astonished to hear that ignorance pre vails, notwithstanding all these, to such an alarming , xtent as to render insecure the possession of property. To investigate briefly the cause of this total failure (fsr I am prepared to show it was such) of the labours of those who undertook the instruction of the Irish people, would lead to a metaphysical disquisition with which at present I shall not trouble your readers. Suffice it to state simply, that that cause was BIGOTRY. The exertions of all the societies I have enumerated were directed not solely, but princi pally, to the conversion, perversion, or changing of the religious sentiments of the people, I care not by which nime you may designate their proceedings. Theirs was a war, not against ignorance, as pretended, but against faith. No moral lesson was imparted to the Catholic child unaccompanied with a sneer at the religion of his fathers, or an obscene jest at the expense of the Catholic Hierarchy. The Bible was introduced, but not that it might be read over as was stipulated, without remark, hut that portions of it might be committed to memory, the calling on the children to recite which was always an excuse for lore-loving Blue Stockings to display before the man of birch, and his open-mouthed auditory, the accu mulated wisdom of a thousand Wesleyan lectures in tea table divinity. Under every circumstance, the object appeared to be a desire to alienate the young mind from all that ancestry held sacred, and to infuse a spirit of re sistance to religious control. To such of the children as manifested symptoms of compliance gifts were given, and hopes held out in case the parents offered to exercise any harshness towards them. The Catholic clergy were not slow in discovering the real object of the Education Societies, and the zeal with which they denounced them from the altar and the pulpit, paralyzed their efforts throughout the kingdom. The return of the number of scholars taught in the diffe rent schools went on increasing, and Parliament went on increasing the grants, but in reality the twentieth of the children enumerated, never received a single lesson in the Societies' Schools. To render this observation intel- ligible, it is only necessary to remark, that before the day of inspecting the schools, which happened every quarter, and was known to the teachers severally a week before, the masters went round and begged as a favour of parents that they would allow their children to appear at school on the day of inspection, in order to secure the salaries. As many of the masters were harmless men, and all of them useful in writmg letters, &c., in country villages a request so reasonable was seldom refused, and by this means I have known returns of children educated in cer tain schools in the North of Ireland to amount to four hundred, when in reality the daily attendants did not amount to an average of six throughout the quarter ! Thus the societies deceived Parliament as to their object, and their servants in return deceived them as to their own utility, and plundered them of that gain of which the societies had become possessed, by means almost equally dishonourable. The accredited agents of these societies were also more than sufficient to fill the people with dis trust. They were all either furious bigots, fanatics, who gave to the service of God the remainder of an ill spent, profligate, licentious life ; legal usur pers of the properties of such as were persecuted for religion, or little tyrants who ruled with a rod of iron the stern destinies of the poor. So unfortunate were they in this respect, whether from ignorance or design I know not, that the very names of many of the agents employed by them would in Ireland be more than sufficient to render any cause suspected. To elucidate this, it will he only re quisite that I refer to the names of Lord Farnham and Miss Ilempenstall ; the former as Colonel Barry, the but too well-known ----- in 1798, recommending the of the Irish prisoners then confined far treason in his Majesty's prisons, the latter as the daughter of Lieutenant Hem penstall, the celebrated gallows walker, whose fond ness for hanging the Irish pearintry, by suspending them over his shoulder in Claudius Beresford's riding house, in College Green, is still fresh in the memory of the present generation. When Miss Hempenstall's resi dence in the vicinity of Dublin was first painted out to me, the poor man to whom I was indebted for the favour, sc. companied the direction of his hand with an expression truly characteristic of his country. " Much as they say about the saints hating the devils, ye see it's all only family disputes; for that lady's father was a devil, and she's a .aint, and so they're all relations one way or other; and sorra bit of rue knows which of them is the worst, for the ene tries to kill us here, and the other to kill us hereafter." The Education Societies in Ireland have been only beneficial in a great degree by rousing the clergy from their lethargic repose, and inciting the Catholic priesttio.4 to emulate them iu providing for the instruction of their flocks. Many excellent and efficient schools are new flourish ing in Ireland that would not have had an existence but for a dread of the sinister influence of the Kildare-street Society. Yet even in this the evil is nearly paramount to the good, as the schools founded in opposition are almost exclusively sectarian in the inculcation of murals as well as principles. The Monastic Orders in Ireland are the most influential with the people, and up to the present time, no body of men could possibly have done more to merit the affection of the whole community. I have visited most of their schools in Dublin and its vicinity, and a few in the counties of Carlow, Kiikenney, Waterford, Limerick, and Cork; and I can positively assert that I never entered schools better attended or better regulated. I would in a more especial manner mention the schools under the super intendence of Mr. Rice of Waterford as examples of order, regularity, and strict decorum. Still I must object to the exclusive system under which they are governed. Such schools would be eminently useful if they ceased to be en gines for the inculcation of religious belief and conformed to the rules laid down in the Irish Education Bill lately in troduced into Ireland through the medium of Mr. Stanley. I have thus far trespassed on your attention for the purpose of showing your readers that ignorance in Ire land has been the effect of misgovernment in the first in stance; and latterly the result of bigoted insolence on the one aide; and a justly awakened jealousy on the other. The only panacea for these evils, the only anodyne to allay the pain of festered feeling, is the Bill lately passed for the education of the people. This Bill, though ius puted to Mr Stanley, was first introduced to the notice of Parliament by the late Member for Tipperary, Thomas Wyse, Esq,—a gentleman whose labours for Ireland and for the empire in the late Parliament merited a better reward than that bestowed ou him by the people of Water ford. I saw the Bill as it was first drawn up by Mr. Wyse, and I can state with confidence that it has not been since improved by any alterations which it has undergone. No man is better acquainted than Mr. Wyse with the subject of education, and for the sake of the country I deeply regret his absence in the first Reformed Parliament, that he might assist Mr. Hume in the Bill which be has given notice of introducing for the establishment of parish schools throughout England and Wales. The rejection of such men as Mr. Wyse is certainly not creditable to any constituency. I am well aware that Ireland contains no greater mockery under the name of popular institutions, than the royal, diocesan, and charter schools, which are in reality hot-beds of bigotry, the bane of that country. The whole number of free scholars taught in these sc:;ools amount only to 417, according to the returns made to Parliament, though I have good authority for saying that one fourth that number woulh be found more than have ever been regularly in attendance. But for this the New Parliament will find a better remedy than if the cure was left to be prescribed for by Irish legislation. B gotry is unknown, in England, except as an article imported into the count!), and therefore she is must likely to legislate wisely for a p e ople divided into factions, mutually bating each other, and mutually under the influence of this worst of pas sions. The progress which the Education Bill has already made, is a gratifying proof that the Legislature have at last adopted a plan which promises in a short time to raise the feeling of the lowest orders in Ireland on a level equal with that of the same description of individuals in Scot land, so justly celebrated for their superior conduct, and high mental acquirements. It has also opened the eyes of the people of England to the selfish shout of self-interested bigots, that the Catholics are averse to education, as out of 432 schools already established, all, with the exception of 29, hare beau sought for by Catholic*, is aeigheour cods where Catholic childien were not provided with the means of acquiring instructino. Ireland is possessed of the most a nple means of educe rion,mid I have every.confideuce in the British S-late'l Roper application of its. Soon as the more urgsnt reforms n the Church have passed, under consideration of the Cabinet. Trinity College must no longer be a nursery for young Conservatives; the people's property has been confiscated to support, and to the people, untrammelled by the desecration of sacrament, or fanatical tests, must its blessings be extended. But from the experience we have had of an Irish Legislature, I am justified in inferring that it would he the extreme of folly to expect the regene ration of that country from such a source. The only rime the Irish Parliament could bosst:of independence was from 1782 to 1800, and never was there a time when unblushing bribery stalked so openly abroad in College there enwer etwelve Perhaps i nwtohuel Irish sere e xfio House e n o g f tchtennn Commons, at atto any one given tim e during this perio I, that had never stipu lated on the means of purchasing, or disposing of a vote. The immortal Grattsn and Flood were the only angels to he met with in that Sodom —all the rest were mortals, and some of them exceedingly frail ones. I need not stop to argue the point, that as far as edu cation is a desirable object, the Repeal of the Union would be an injury to its progress, rather . than a goo d. N o mea -ore+, in the present state of society, could be better adapt• ed, than those at present taken, to secure the blessings of peace, prosperity, and the alleviation of the pain of i rite ted feeling. Changes to produce the beat effects must bA gradually made. There is, moreover, a teeklessness in driving a people who know not where to stop, from one change to another, of which no enli •htened statesman ought to be guilty; for though he may do so for a certain purpose, can he hope to reconcile them to a van , of inertness, when he may think it prudent to stop ? Besides, on the question of Repeal, I would observe that Mr. O'Connell is premature in his agitation, and all th it he has done wisely for some weeks was the not pressing the question on the Irish Members. At the same time, I must say that I see nothing objectionable in a meeting of the Irish Members in Dublin, or of the Scotch Members, if they thought proper, in Edinburgh, previous to their assembling in St. Stephen's. Such meetings, if properly conducted, would prevent the utterance of a thousand blunders as to facts, and often spare the time of the House in i t i h d disput es threen counties of ea Ae c Members otherri s of il: er whe Parliamentnon their es t a r t e e s , i . d ing In such proceedings there appears to me nothing objectionable.
