In saying this, we mean to speak, of course, comparatively. Scotland is by no means so rich a country as England ; but, ccrteris paribus, we may well doubt whether Eng land has not shown more alacrity and industry in im proving her sources of natural production. In any case, tha extension of her fisheries, and nature has supplied her with some of the finest in the world, has not been prosecuted by Scotland with half the ardour or success that she has shown and realised in advancing her agri culture and stock-farming. Much, even as to her fisheries, she has accomplished, but she has not yet availed herself of a tithe of the opportunities that pre sent themselves for profitably extending them in a hun dred localities upon her creek, estuary, and harbour ndented shores. There is, perhaps, in all Europe, no landed gentry who possess better, or more extensive, fishing fields than that of Scotland, scattered, as their possessions are, along a coast line of vast extent, washed with seas that swarm with fish. It is much to be deplored that the great landowners in these districts—take, for example, the Western Isles and Highlands of Scotland—do not far more largely avail themselves of the means which are thus ready to their hands, of increasing their own fortunes by vastly benefiting those of the hardy natives who hold under them. They are fishermen by the acci dents of their birth, and the necessities, not less than the advantages of their position. But their energies, their intrepidity, their endurance, and fortitude, being at present limited to little more than the care of provid ing for the immediate subsistence of themselves and their families, are rarely accompanied by that perseve ranee which permanent employment, at however high wages, and the exertions of capital among them, would be sure to stimulate. Fresh fish in the spring and summer, and cured fish for the winter, with a scanty supply of potatoes raised by that slovenly tillage of neglected garden plots and closes which the sagacity and sarcasm of the late Dr. MAccum.oca shamed, for a time, into something like transitory activity, are too com monly the utmost achievements of their forecast and their exertions. Having so few resources to fall back upon, their poverty habituates them to a reliance more or less, on one or two, exclusively, out of that limited number. A wet summer or a protracted winter de stroys, or nearly destroys, their potato harvest. A very boisterous season greatly diminishes the produce of their fishery. The decay of their once valuable kelp trade leaves them little or no chance of repairing either of these calamities. _ HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.

But let some great proprietors emulate the noble example of Mr. MATHESON, M.P., on his enormous pro perty of Lewis, which we yesterday described in our columns. Let them reclaim their bog and moor lands by drainage ; let them build and furnish fishing and curing stations ; facilitate the purchase of nets, tackle, and implements, where such aid is required of them at the hands of meritorious individuals : let them cut roads, deepen water ways, and avail themselves of the substantial material which nature has every where around them placed within their reach, of ereeling darns, constructing harbours, and all other works requiring only rude and massive masonry ; and they will be oul tiplying ten-fold the present value of their rent-roll', and ameliorating a hundred-fold the physical comforts I and condition of their poor tenants and compatriots. When these primary elements shall have been got into vigorous and well-combined action, then let the land owner introduce a simple but generous plan of moral education for those whose social lot he will have already so incalculably improved. What will be the amount of free unalloyed enjoyment which they Rill thus secure for themselves, who will move about wide domains more overspread with an aspect of busy and contented in dustry and cheerful vigilance, amidst the most inhos pitable rigours that may at times beset the climate, and gaze, with honest emotion, cn the noble contrast which their own efforts, their own desire to amend the hard existence of these remote but well- disposed people, and their own spirited liberality have established, with the desolate and savage and dispiriting fea tures that the same country presented but three or four years previously. In Sutherlandshire, in Caithness, and along the northern and north-western ' shores of Scotland, how much may yet be done, fraught with better and more salutary influences than all that poor laws can effect for a well disposed and kindly natured people. Let the same fine spirit which is now diffusing life and activity to the most distant corners of the " distant Lewis," visit the pauperised recesses of Mull and Tobermory, or Sutherlandshire itself ; but not to expel—not to eject—not even to force into an ill-pro vided-for emigration, a starving yet reluctant race of hereditary but impoverished tenants. There are Dukes in Scotland—Lords of the fairest lands in Sutherland- Mire and Argyllshire, who, if they would betake them selves to follow out such plans as the wise and generous proprietor of Lewis is now working for the improvement of his property—and the people on it —might hope, like him, to verify the glorious aspiration of our lyric poet, snd " read their history in a nation's eyes." Let those Dukes " go and do likewise." The intelligence from Madrid is to the 20th inst. On that day the Senate voted the entire budget, by a ma-• jority of 70 to 5, and this closed the business of the Cortes, which, as will be seen by a telegraphic dispatch, was prorogued thrae days afterwards. The Court was to set ou t for Catalonia on the 24th. On the 20th the Three per Cents. closed at 321, and 331 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. 24 for cash, and 24i at 60 days; and the Debt without luterest at 8 3-16 at 60 days. The following telegraphic dispatch has been received at Paris : " The Queen of SPAIN closed the session of the Cortes, in person, on the 23d instant. The new Constitution was promulgated on the same day." The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the affairs of Morocco and Algeria, and the forthcoming discussion - al the Budget. On the latter subject the Journal des Debuts says :—" The Chamber of Deputies will be able to enter on the discussion of the budget of estimates; at the heginning of next month. The report of M. Bic , NON'S r6p,,..is in the press, and will be distributed to the Deputies in the -purse of a week. The five Bills, fur the removal of the hu'el of the Minister of Foreign credit for Algeria— Affairs—for the extraordina.; For the police—for the railroads -for the colonial s railroad regulations—and for the Paris and Ly,:_ n , et will probably be brought forward before the g The report on the extraordinary credits for Algeria, which amount to 14,430,000 f., was distributed on Saturday, and will be taken into consideration on Tues day. The Committee, after having taken a full view of the entire situation of Algeria, has made a rigid exami nation of all the questions connected with the conquest of this country, its government, and colonisation. On the day the Committee was formed it was made acquainted with the projected expedition of Marshal BCGEAUD against the Kabyle country. Marshal SOULT, to whom the Committee applied fur a full statement of the case, sent a summary of all the late reports from the country in question. Soon afterwards the Minister of War attended the Committee, and declared that, in his opinion, the intended expedition would have favour able results, but he did not consider it urgent, and there fore the Government would not consent to any increase of the effective force for this purpose. The Committee admits the propriety of keeping up the effective force for the present year at 82,000 men and 15,513 horses." The Constitutionnel has changed its tone relative to the failure of the commercial treaty with MoroCco, ati,d now implies that the failure has been brought about by English influence. M. GurzoT, of course, comes in for a share of the blame. The following are observations on this affair in that journal : " A council of Ministers was held on Saturday relative to the affairs of Morocco. It is stated that the resolution come to was such as ,might be expected from the Cabinet which signed the treaty of Tangiers, disavowed MM. Dupetit Thouars and D'Aubigny, and indemnified Mr. Pritchard. The convention negotiated by M. Delarue had a double ob ject—to regulate the question of limits, and to assure to our commerce certain commercial advantages. It was the execution of two articles of the treaty of Tangiers. The convention has just been ratified by France, but the Emperor Abderrhaman, disavowing his ple nipotentiaries, refuses the ratification. What course will be taken ? The matter •is perfectly simple. General Delarue will be disavowed without noise, and a new negotia tion commenced. It will be stated, it is already said, that M. Delarue has gone beyond his instructions, and that he was too exacting with regard to that Moorish Govern ment, which, in other respects, gives us so many proof: of goodwill and deference. In thel frontier question ' without giving way to the cunning and tardiness of the Arab nego tiators, who would have prolonged the discussion to eternity, relative to every blade of grass, M. Delarue decided the question equitably, like a geometrician, and obtained the assent of the negotiators. This - operation will be gone over again, and Abderrhaman will receive some portion of the territory which he claims. As to the commercial ques tion, it will be abandoned purely and simply, under the firm of indefinite postponement, to please not only the Emperor Abderrhaman, but also another power. Such are the poli tical exploits by which our Ministry will impress the Moorish tribes with respect for France,and will perpetuate the remem brance of the victory of Islyl You will find that M. Guizot and M. Duchatel will attempt to prove afterwards that by this condescension they are giving the Maugrabins a high p e r Tl o r h a e n b d u w s i e n a e k s e s n i e n d A t h b -el- e K n a c d h er.'' idea of France I See, in fact, how the evacuation of Moga e onshayreosfT localpienrtecreenstts.

The dispatches published in Tuesday's Gazette, rela tive to the operations in Sindc, are highly honourable to Sir CHARLES NAPIER and the little gallant army under his command. It is a singular fact that this able officer has been successful in every plan for defeating his ene mies, and tranquillising that important district. The malevolent press of India has been compehcd to acknowledge his merits ; his opponents in this country cannot find one fault, and the praises bestowed upon him by Sir HENRY lIAR DIRGE, the Governor-General Elect of the India Board, are equally flattering with those so willingly given by his calumniated predecessor. Here is the tribute paid by a discriminating judge and skilful warrior • After announcing the complete success of the expedition, the Governor-General says:—" An operation of this na ture demanded, on the part of the General, the utmost prudence, skill, and foresight, and on the part of the troops, the greatest fortitude in enduring the fatigues and privations to which they were exposed. These qualities, which prove the merit of a commander and the discipline of the troops, have been displayed by both with characteristic energy. Every officer and man in this short but arduous campaign has shown that there are no difficulties which discipline cannot surmount under able guidance." On Monday evening Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought forward his promised series of resolutions, which, though nominally limited to a review of the condition of the labouring classes, embraced a great variety of Other topics. These topics were, many of them, of an interest almost equally extensive to such as the Currency, the Corn Laws, and Free Trade. His speech also embraced a searching inquiry into the condition of educkion among the people generally ; but this subject is so legi timately connected with any attempt to consider the con dition of the poor, that we should not venture to discuss the one without the other. From this description of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S speech, our readers will readily understand that it would not be vary practicable to con dense such observations as we may desire to offer upon it, within the limits of a single article. Sir JAMES GRAHAM passed this well-merited eulogium upon it ; that in Justice to the Noble Lord he felt bound to say that anything more worthy the great subject it dealt with, or more comprehensive in its views than the speech of the Noble Lord, he had never heard in that House. It was totally devoid of all party feeling, or any acrimonious assertiow. To this high praise it was certainly entitled ; and from that very conviction we are as anxious to parti cularise its snore prominent merits as to express with caution, and all the respect due to such a gifted speaker, the occasional points as to which we find ourselves un able to arrive at the same conclusions which he has re corded. Impossible as it will be on the present occasion to do more than throw a comprehensive glance over the general effect of this admirable address, owing to the pressure of much matter of immediate interest, we cannot refrain from expressing the gratification we have derived from the indications this speech everywhere abounds with, of a deep and anxious solicitude for the welfare of the in dustrial classes. Lord Joiirr RUSSELL speaks like a man alive to the wrongs which this invaluable class of the community have long endured, and bent on a vigor ous and chivalrous effort to retrieve them from their pressure in future. On the question of the course to be taken in providing for the general education of the poor we are proud to find his Lordship concurring in a prin ciple we have so lately argued in relation to that point. He expresses broadly his conviction that any mea sures for the moral or intellectual improvement ot the poorer classes, to be attended with success, must be preceded by adequate provision for their physical im provement, and especially of their food, subsistence, and lodging. h certainly does appear a romantic com mencement of any scheme of popular amelioration — where the distress to be remedied is extensively diffused and of the most sordid and disorganising character, and its causes .I,mbedded deeply in by by-gone errors of po litical legislatio2 and social usages—to grapple with the choice of abstract crinciples to be adopted in the discipline an d t ra i n i ng men's minds, whilst their bodies ar e ex h aus t e d by inb:. fition, suffering, and disease. What are class books and interestinf lessons in light or instructive liter.; lure to them, whilst they themselves are starving, and tn.: families are sinking around them, under the double pressure of want and domestic misery? With regard to the Noble Lord's statistics of wages and prices, in their reciprocal relations to one another, we cannot entirely concur in the results which he draws from hi: own premises. Into that larger question, how ever, we will not now enter ; and we forbear, fur the present, from contesting, as we should feel bound and prepared to do, the Noble Lord's views of the action of the Bank Restriction Act of 1797, at the time, and ever since, on the wages of labour and the con dition of the labouring population. It is with all sub mission no sort of proof that the present wages of la bour are not greatly below a fair remunerating, or even a bare living standard in some of the largest branches of agricultural and manufacturing employment, that it appears from Mr. Dent's tables that wages are much the same now, with corn at a moderate price, as they were in 1801, for instance, with corn at, the famine price of 115 s. per quarter. It is clear that the Noble Lord omits out of his calculation the enormously increased burden of indirect taxation now borne by the labourer, and the consequent reduced amount of necessaries and all other consumable articles which the same nominal scale of wages now represents. The consideration of this incident in the condition of in dustrial labour in this country—of the operation upon it of the altered standard of currency established by Sir R. PEEL in 1819, and of the corn-laws, we must defer to a future but early opportunity. Connected with the question of corn-laws, we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of noticing the manly and candid language in which the Noble Lord acknowledged the discrepancy between his present convictions touching the expediency of a graduated scale of protecting duties. We shall speedily recur to them, and to his argument in favour of a fixed low duty of 45., 55., or 6s. per quarter. Whilst public opinion on this side of the Tweed ap pears to be much divided as to the merits of the Lord Advocate's new poor-relief legislation for the kingdom of Scotland, it may be expected that we should recur to a subject which we handled at some length on the occa sion of the . Learned Lord bringing in the Bill in ques tion. But we should be sorry to throw impediments in the way of any measure having for its object the mitigation of those evils which the Scottish poor have too long been left ,to encounter, with means almost in, conceivably inadequate to procure them the means of even the most meagre and attenuated subsistence. The disclosures,—for his instrumentality in bringing which under the notice of Parliament we think the Learned Lord has scarcely received from some of our contemporaries his due raced of praise, —the disclosures which have' been made of, the destitution in, which a vast community of the pe o pl e o f S cotland habitually dwell, are scarcely more appalling from the amount of personal misery which they exhibit, as forming the social lot of so many of our fellow-creatures and subjects, than they are startling from the economi c ph enomena they reveal. The condition of the poor of Scotland becomes an ob ject of deep but painful interest, when one reflects upon , this remarkable fact, that although the development of agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial prosperity in Scotland, within the last half century, is scarcely to the example of any other nation within t b h e e :ae s urpassedera,b and the same interval of years ; her un developed, thatd,or h at least al nonoinmtprieovaedlmroesst a scandalources,are stillto theso extensive RAILWAY. Mr. COCKBURN said that in consequence of what had fallen from the Committee yesterday, as to the character of the evidence re. garding the traffic, he would sacrifice his own feelings in the matter, and he would now call a fresh class of evidence. He would call Mr. Brunel, who would speak as so the difference of gauge and the engineering evidence. He would, however, reserve to himself the right of calling, at a future time, evidence on the local traffic. The importance of such evidence would be seen, in asmuch as Parliamentary Committees generally decided upon the merits of the lines before them. The CHAIRMAN had only to say, that the number of witnesses examined already amounted to eighty-four, counting on both sides. The intimation of the Committee yesterday amounted to a sug gestion, and no more. The Committee were of opinion that the importance of a line of railway was apparent to the Committee, and they thought that the London and Birmingham had proved the case, up to a certain point, for the Great Western Company. Mr. HOPE hoped that if there was any more evidence to adduce in support of the traffic on the line, it would be brought forward at once. It would not do after breaking down in the engineer ing evidence to bolster up a case by ealling fresh traffic evidence. It would disarrange the proceedings. The CHAIRMAN could not see that anything like bolstering up would succeed with the Committee. Mr. COCKBURN could inform his Learned Friend that there was nothing in his mind fearful of a breaking down of the engineering evidence. On the contrary, he defied his Learned Friend to shake that evidence. Mr. Brunel examined by Mr. COCKBUAN—Is engineer to the Great Western scheme for the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line of railway. In laying down the line he was guided by the ob ject of connecting South Staffordshire with Oxford, Berkshire, and London. There is a cross line before Parliament from the Great Western line to Basingstoke, which will form a continuation of the line then before the Committee. The plan of the line from Wolverhampton to Worcester and Oxford had been made for some years. The project is of old standing. The line was first projected in 1836, but from the difficulty of raising money at that time, it was abandoned. There was also about that period a branch line to Oxford. It was then proposed to carry the line from Rugby by Banbury to Worcester. The branch to Ox ford vas thrown out of Parliament three times in consequence of not introducing the academical clauses. The traffic of the South Staffordshire districts was very important. The cost of the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line would be 1,500,0001., and the cost of the Oxford and Rugby would be 600,0001. The gradients of the Great Western line ware more favourable than the gradients on Mr. Stephenson's line. The population accommodated on the Oxford and Rugby line was much greater than the popula. tion on the Tring line. The report of the Beard of Trade stated that the population on the Tring line was much greater ; but wit. ness believes that the reverse was the fact. The line to Wolver. hampton commences near the Grand Junction station between two large and important towns. Mr. Stephenson's line at certain points would be much higher, and would then descend considerably. The Great Western line would come into the fire-brick works, which was a most important consideration in the traffic. From Stourbridge the Great Western line is carried to Kidderminster, and passes within half a mile of the town. The reason for not bringing the station into the town was, that the tonnage did not exceed more than fifty tons rer week, and the value of that to a railway amounted to a very small item. The value of the manufactured goods was from 1501. to 3001. per ton, and the cost of cartage from the town to the station would be very trifling. Had no station at Stockport, the trade was not important, and there is a canal accommodation (LIFT SITTING.) Group A. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND ROCHESTER RAIL. WAY. The Committee met again to.day at twelve o'clock. Chairman, Mr. Laccelles. The Counsel in suppoit of the Bill called Mr. Sedder, an estate agent at Rochester, who had been mayor of the city. This gentleman stated that there was consider able deficiency in the means of communication at present between Chatham, Rochester, and London. The inhabitants were obliged to come by the Rochester Railway to Gravesend, and thence by the boats to London. There were many charges and many delays. Many thousands of troops sent to Chatham in the course of the year, and many thou. sands of workmen employed in the dockyards, had to pass to and fro from time to time between Chatham and the metropolis. He was acquainted with the North Kent Railway projected by Mr. Vig. notes. At a public meeting held at Rochester to consider the merits of the various lines, the feeling was almost unanimous in favour of Vignoles' line. The inconvenience at present felt for want of complete communication was very great. The population of Rochester, Chatham, and Stroud, without the troops, was 35,001). The country around was very fertile, and a great number of cattle were sent to London. Cross.examined by Mr. WILNORE, for the London and Croydon Railway—The feeling of the meeting to which he had referred was decidedly in favour of Vignoles' plan. There was a great want of railway communication between his part of the country and London. Cross-examined by Mr. MEREWRTHEEL, for the South-Eastern Company—Was not aware that nine-tenths of the owners of property in the neighbourhood were unfavourable to it. He admitted that the names read to him by the Learned Counsel were owners of a very large portion of the agricultural property in that part of Kent, but did not know they had petitioned against the present project. Re-examined by Mr. GOLDSMITH—The feeling was generally in favour of Vignoles' plan. The delay of communication with London, especially in winter, was very great. Mr. J. Baiter, auctioneer and surveyor of Rochester, was also one of the Rochester magistrates. (LIFT SITTING.) Group V. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MIDLAND JUNC. TION RAILWAY. The Committee, consisting of the O'Conor . Don, chairman, Sir John _ Rae Reid, Sir Denham Norreys, Mr. Hope Johnstone, sat at twelve o'clock in Room No. 9, and pro. and Mr. Davies, -41erice on the part of the promoters of the ceeded to hear further e,.. above railway. Mr. BAINES, Q.C., called to the great Mr. Appleby, of Sheffield, who spoke • nutning advantages which would result to that town from the up of the coal district between Chesterfield and Shelfielu, including the Dronfield and Unston coal and coke, which was par ticularly esteemed by iron.founders for its valuable qualities in the conversion of iron to steel. The railway would also com municate with the markets of Lancashire and Cheshire. Mr. Blake, also of Sheffield, was examined by Mr. Ser. geant WRANGUADI, and he quite coincided in the opinion given by the previous wittness, as to the advantages which would be given to the towns of Chesterfield, smd Sheffield, and the district between these places. Mr. Knowles, of Brampton Manor, was an earthenware manufac. turer, and spoke to the quantity exported to Manchester, and the districts to the south, which would be greatly increased by the line being opened. Mr. Birkett and Mr. Wright gave similar evidence. (LEFT strriNG.) Group K. LONDON AND NORWICH DIRECT LINE. The Committee on this line resumed its sitting this morning at the usual hour, when Mr. ALEXANDER, Q. C., on behalf of the promoters of the stated that the total length of the line he advocated would be 45 miles 10 chains, offering no engineering difficulties what ever; no turnpike-road would be crossed upon a level; either bridges would be thrown over the roads, or the roads raised above the railway. No tunnelling would be required, and the worst gradient was 1 in 100, and that but for two miles. The cost of the entire line, including all contingencies, was estimated at 760,0004, while the traffic tables presented a prospect of fair remunerative returns. With respect to the accommodation proffered by the competing lines by a connexion with the metro polis, the distance from London to Norwich by the Eastern Ex. tension would be 113 miles 1 furlong ; by the Norwich Junction 118 miles 1 furlong ; and by the London and Norwich Direct 110 miles 5 furlongs. The last.mentioned thus affording a very material saving in time and distance. At Wick. enbrook a favourable point presented itself for forming a junction with Newmarket, reaching the latter town at the eastern side, so that the ;;:ath would not be interfered with ; so impressed were the Jockey Club With tote advantages that would be afforded by such a project being complei;::, that they had actually presented a petition in favour of the indepenaei. Pne l solely cu those grounds. By the returns presented by the Board of Trade, the population on the London and Norwich direct line was 31,800, and on the Eastern extension only 21,000 ; the population within three miles of the former 56,262 ; and within the same distance of the Ipswich and Norwich 47,600 ; and between Thetford and Nor wich 20,294. On these and other concurrent superior advantages, he therefore sought the favourable interposition of the Committee, and urged the passing of the preamble of the Direct Norwich Bill. Charles Beard, examined by Mr. GIRDEN—Is an ironmonger at Bury, and well acquainted with that town. Has inquired into the condition of the trades in the district, and found that 600 tons of bar and pig iron, coming principally from Lynn, at a cost of 10s. per ton, are brought to Bury annually, and 500 or 600 tons of hardware, at a cost of 15s. per ton. The groceries imported annually into that town from London, a distance of 72 miles, at a cost of from 30s. to 415. per ton, amounted to 2,000 tons annually. Linen and woollen also coming from London is above 300 tons. The only accommodation, besides the expensive and ob jectionable land route, Is a circuitous water navigatio.l from Lynn ; anticipates a reduction in the carriage of goods of 35 per cent. by" the establishment of a direct railway communication. Ras attended meetings at Bury in favour of the Direct Norwich Line. Six. sevenths of the Parliamentary electors and seven-eighths of the in habitants of the town prefer this to any other project. Cross , examined by Mr. RAwLsNsoN—ln anticipating a reduction of 35 per cent. by the establishment of a direct railway communi cation, he presumed hardwares and general groceries would be car ried then at the rate of 4d. per ton per mile, nails and sugar, how ever, at I id. per ton per mile. The line from Lynn to Cambridge and from Cambridge to Bury, would not afford a good means of transit for the Yorkshire and North coal. (LEFT SITTING.) SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Porraa.) BEGBIE V. BAWLINGS. This was an action brought to recover the balance of an attor ney's Bill. The defendant i. a broker in Bethnal.green. Mr. BEGBIE stated the case. In 1939 he was sent for to the office of Messrs. Smith, of Furnival's Inn, and introduced to the defendant, and requested to defend an action brought against him by a Mr. Babbington, Messrs. Smith's business being principally confined to Chancery suits. The action was settled, and defendant paid 21. to him on account of costs, and frequently, both before and after the commencement of the present action, promised to pay. The action was commenced in 1843, and judgment obtained against the defendant, which, how ever, was set aside, on an affidvit that there was a bona fide defence. Defendant, however, was to pay costs, and he (Mr. Begbie) accepted 4/. on account, the then attorney for defendant urging him not to proceed with the action, as dc. fendant was very poor. The proceedings were then stopped, but a short time since, after the passing of the Act for the:abolition of imprisonmect for debts under 20/., the defendant's attorney called, and said that if the 4/. was returned the proceedings should drop—if not, they would force him to go on with the action. This course had been adopted, and plaintiff therefore came before the jury contrary to his own desire, and whichever way the verdict went he must be the loser, as defendant had no property which could be taken in execution. The defence was that the retainer of plaintiff was by Mr. Smith, and that it was a common practice for one attorney to employ another as his agent, and also that plaintiff had consented to take costs out of pocket, and which mounted only to 13s. 6d. The jury then gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the balance as taxed by the Master. DR. WM. SNELL. (pßo)i ♦ CORRESPONDENT.) Dr. Wm. Snell, the Professor of Law in Berne, who was summarily dismissed from his chair, on account of his supposed participation in urging, counselling, or abetting the Free Corps in their expedition against Lucerne, for the purpose of opposing vi et armis, the introduction of the Jesuits, is one of the most in tellectual, consistent, and energetic political leaders, of the Liberal party on the Continent. As far as twenty-five years ago, when he was engaged as barrister in Nassau, he was persecuted for having dared to publish an address on behalf of the citizens of his country against some arbitrary proceedings of the Minister of the reigning Duke. He was obliged to leave his country, and to accept a professorship in the Russian Univer sity of Dorpat. But not long was he there established with his family, when, by a special command of the Emperor, he was dis missed from his chair, and obliged to return to Germany. He crossed that land under a disguised name, and went to Coire, the capital of the Swiss Canton of the Grison. There he met Dr. Charles Follnius and Dr. de l'rats, and formed with them the plan to establish a German society of Liberals, the Mannerbund. After having established this society, and organised other societies depending on them, which embrace, in different groups, the military, the students, and the working people, Professor Snell, in conjunction with Follnius and Dr. de Prats, effected a junction between the Committee of Paris and the Carbonari of Italy. Betrayed by a false friend, the well.known De Witte, a Danish adventurer, the three gentlemen were obliged to quit Coire. William Snell and Follnius were elected professors at Bale, whilst De Prats was obliged to fly to England. A year aft€ r, however, De Witte, having given more positive information against Follnius, this gentleman was also obliged to leave Switzer land, which he quitted for the United States, where he met with friendly reception, and was elected Professor of Philosophy at Boston. In the meanwhile, the republic of Bale had become the scene of civil discord ; the rural districts, dissatisfied with the oligarchical despotism of the town, declared to demand a government of their own. William Snell could not help to side with the Liberal party; hence he was obliged to give up his situation to accept one of a similar nature in Berne. How a man of such talents, experience, and penetration could have, for a moment, favoured the insane plan of the free corps is a matter of surprise to those who know him and know the circumstances of Switzerland. Without materialmeans, without discipline, without unity of pur pose, few had to attack enemies in their own houses, commanded by able officers, supported by men, arms, ammunition from Aug. tria, Naples, Piedmont, and Prussia. Yea, even if the first at tempt of the invaders had been successful, their success would only have served as a pretext for Austria, France, and all the ultra montane enemies of Swiss freedom, to let loose their arms against the Helvetic Republic. But, as far as the decree of dismissal of the said professor, it is an act of pusillanimity, injustice, and cowardice. If Snell was favourable to the expedition, indeed, even If he urged it on, he did nothing to deserve the blame of a Govern ment, who did not interfere actively against the dismemberment of the free corps, and rather encouraged than disapproved it. From all we hear from that quarter, the rude dismissal of one of the most esteemed and influential Professors of the Univers;ty of Berne, may prove the signal for a rising of the liberal party against the actual Government. CURRENCY AND SOLAR SPOTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—lt being admitted by all the great authorities on the subject of money that the circulation of this country should be regulated by the foreign exchanges, or, in other words, by the supply of gold in the Bank of England coffers, and not by the in ternal requirements of the country in respect of its population and productive power, as was the case in what Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd terms "The dark ages of the Currency," prior to 1819, it is de sireable that the lights of modern science should be brought to bear on this all-important subject, to that a still more expeditious and comprehensive plan may be devised for " regulating tile issues" of the Bank of England. And, further, as it is well understood that the removal, or order for removal, of a few millions of gold from the Bank coffers is sufficient to plunge the whole mercantile community into con. fusion, panie, and bankruptcy, it becomes a most important point to ascertain the causes which chiefly operate in creating a drain of bullion from the Bank. Now, passing over, as unworthy of philosophic attention, the paltry jobbing of two or three bullionists, the possibility of foreign wars, or foreign loans, which must always act as disturbing causes, we arrive at a great natural cause fur a drain of bullion which no wisdom or foresight has hitherto been supposed capable of anticipating, that is, the drain arising from deficient harvests. As it is well known that deficient harvests arise from unfavourable seasons, and that unfavourable seasons depend on the number and magnitude of the spots on the sun's disc, it must be apparent that accurate observations as to the solar health (so to speak) would be a far more correct and scien tific way of " regulating the issues " of the Bank of England than the present vulgar and contracted method of ascertaining the comparative relative value of gold in Paris, London, and Amster. dam. It is therefore submitted, with due deference to Sir Robert Peel, Lord Monteagle, and " his friend " Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd, and all the other writers on political economy, that in future the Astronomer Royal, at the Observatory, be required to furnish peri odically an account of the number, size, and appearance of the solar spots, to be published concomitantly with the returns of bullion in the Bank of England. By means of the electric tele graph on the Greenwich Railway, the Bank Directors will be able, on an emergency, to apply the screw with the greatest expedition, if not ease, to the mercantile community. Hoping these speculations may be of some use to my fellow countrymen, I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, Laputa, May 20. PROJECTOR. EPSOM RACES. (THIS DAY.-BN EXPRESS.)

So late as the 20th instant the snow fell heavily round Geneva till it became full a foot deep. At the same time it came down at :Bann in the Haut Rhin, at Auch, Tarbes, and other parts of France, even at Compicl,gne. The widow of one of the brothers Bandiera died on t h e jsth at Venice aged only 27. The death is attributed chiefly to grief at tilC Melancholy fate of her husband.

THE COLLEGE OF MAYNOOTIL AND TliE COLLEGE OF BUDDHA ! (Fr..m th, ps , f ich Exp, In the ne ws f rom I n di a , brought by the Overla nd Mail which arr i ve d i n L an don on Friday, there is a piece of intelligence which we are anxious to bring' pr o ' minently into notice, fir the purpose of reblikinr• t he anti-Maynooth fanaticism that is now dis tuibing kingdom. Certain Siamese priests had visited Kandy, in the Island of Ceylon, for the purpose of seeing and Wor" shipping the relic, called the tooth of the Idol B luth ' which is carefully preserved by the British Govein ment !! ! Sir Colin Campbell, it is stated, was at first unwilling that the tooth should be displayed ; bu t be was at length prevailed on to give his consent ; and the sacred tooth was exhibited to the adoring strange" from Siam, in the presence of Lord Elphinstoneo by 1 " Mercer, the Assistant Government Agent ! ! ! No lightning from Exeter Hall descends on the guilty heads of a Government which permits and sanctions such abominations ! No conferences, no religious breakfasts, tion, to denounce this iniquity ! For half a no indignant protests, no meetings, crammed to s uffner English Government have cherished and protected thi foulest form of Idolatry that ever polluted the w orld, au u t offended the One Living and True God ;—an d there has scarcely been a whimper of disapproba.ttous in this country. The Christian zeal of our furiod theologians is expended in reviling the religion Francis Xavier, " the Apostle of the Indies," who e i "'" century 02: verted millions of idolators in this very island of Cer tll , / , but it is not its vocatio to denounce the anti-Chrislia, apostacy cf that Government which fosters the to converted to the faith of Christ, Budh; in opposing which, 600 of the natives of Ce),: lu s , by .Xavier, martyrs upon one occasion. t‘ 03 aid' By the treaty of 1815, the Buddhist religion i s h the tained and protected" in the interior of Cey lon s e lect British Government ; the British Government ses, and appoint the priests; the British Government P e t s a re the temple patronage ; and th e B r itish Govern au the keepers of the Dalada and oth e r relics of B e ' far, Ceylon. LEsa n en d bobrouie, gt h, o [ren t t In one part of Hindostan the English Gover awe treat the superstition of Siva—worshipped withheehtte less abominations—with equal te n derness Governor-General of India, the Earl of ordered " the sandal-wood gates," taken in C au ,tored be borne, with military honours, to "the re temple of Somnauth." The English Government so far consult the r - tiins of of the natives of India, that they pay the ehetc the Juggernaut, and show the utmost eonsiderafoeasne; Mohammedan religion ; and yet men rage, et patter °(` and twaddle against the Minister who, as a, 7, a tion political justice, increases a grant for the their fellow-Christians ! 6 11 5 When the Irish Roman Catholics consider the rais stanc2s we have drawn attention to, can you be V .l s lic eii. at their indignation ? They see that the Eng,:.lo; but science can tolerate Budh, Juggernaut, and $ is offended at Catholicism ;—that it strains at a and swallows a camel ! For our, part, while we hold very decided oPlileirasre°lll: the necessity of a reformation in the Rolnitotostas; and value, we trust, the blessings whic h t; roped England enjoys, we must own that we li" one better than Buddhism ;—that we esteersetoPit w hat more highly the religion of Thom as a tba a Francis Xavier, Fenelon, and Mather, ' Ob °. do the idolatry of Kandy .
