SOLICITORS. James Coppock, 3, Cleveland-row, St. James's John Bell, 23, Craven-street, Strand Thomas Steed Watson, Wisbech The object of this Company is to afford to the town and port of Wistiech, the centre of the rich agricultural district of the Isle of Ely, the benefit of that communication by railway of which it is now en tirely destitute. Th's will be effected by the construction of a railvvo.to commence at or near the March station of the Ely and Peterborough Deviation line, proceeding thence to Wisbech, and thence to Sutton St. Mary, then; forming a junction with either the East Coast or Grand Union Railway, or any other railway completing the communication to Lin colnalt;re, which may obtain the sanction of the Legislature. A area C:lmmunication will thus be formed between the Metropolis, the Midland, the Eastern, and the Manufacturing Counties. The districts embraced by this undertaking are populous, and have a very considerable local traffic, the population of Wisbech, St. Peter alone, exceeding 10,000. The quantity of wheat sold in the market at Wishedh weekly averages 5,090 quarters, and the arrivals of wheat ll'orri the port of Wisbech have in many instances been known very materially to affect the market in Mark-lane ; in addition to which there are extensive sales of other grain, flour, seed, wool, cattle, fruit, and potatoes, the whole of which is exported to the consumin : ; markets ; the imports consisting of coals, timber, oilcakes, bale goods, slates, sand, lime, and general merchandise. The return of the Port dues for 1844 exhibits 125,395 tons, and these dues are rapidly in creasing in amount. A great portion of the merchandise must pass along line, and cannot fail of yielding a productive revenue. The length of line is about twenty miles, and passes through a country having an even and solid surface ; thus, with all the advan tages of water and land carriage of materials, affording facilities which - will render the works inexpensive, and insure their early com pletion. Added to these advantages, the line will form an integral pertion of the main trunk line with the shortest and most diret route between hull and London. By Its connexion with the Ely and Peterborough Railway at March, a transit will be afforded through the Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham to Bristol, and the south west of England,and through the Syston branch of the midlands, the north west of England, with Liverpool, Wales, and Ire land. will also be placed in immediate connexion with Wisbech and s locality. . . _ . . _ . Anothei important feature in this undertaking is, that the serious inconvenience felt by every class during severe winters, from the river None being blocked with ice at Wisbech (causing a total stag nation of the usual commerce, whilst the warehouses may be over loaded with corn, and the price of coals increased threefold, to the great distress and misery of the poorer classes), will, by this railway, be entirely obviated. The survey has been completed, and application will be made for an Act in the ensuing session of Parliament. A large reserve of shares having been made for exisfmg companies with which the pro- posed line will be united, a limited number only are at the disposal of the Directors. Applications for shares in the usual form, accompanied by a refer ence to a Banker or one of the Provisional Committee, may be made to the respective Solicitors.

To a casual observer of the progress of social institu tions, nothing would be so little likely to present itself in the shapa of one of the great disturbing forces which vex their tranquillity—as religious discords. The "odium theologicum," for so many centuries the scourge of the old world—the fomenter of civil and of foreign wars—the dethroner of crowned kings—the great motive of external_ and domestic treasons—the restless peace breaker in private families as well as States—has been thought, by many, to have outlived the fires by which its zeal was anciently inflamed. But he who trusts that so desirable a consummation is accomplished, will soon discover his fatal error. His steps will be "super eine) es dolosos." The fire is not extinct—it still exists in all its intensity. It no longer bursts into fierce and de vouring action, rearing on high, to the terrified gaze of all mankind, its consuming flames; but the molten lava does not the less seethe and boil beneath the surface which overlays it. And at this very moment the fatal element seems to be in a state of agitation, that is manifested by occasional eruptions, more or less partial and transitory, in kingdoms of Europe the moat remote from one another. We earnestly invite the reader's attention to this remarkable modern phe nomenon. It is peculiar to this epoch of the nineteenth century. The " disturbing force" of which we speak communicates its impulses from some such mysterious connexion as only MICHELET or QUISET can explain, 'n these, our days, from St. Petersburgh to London, from Dublin to Leipsic, from Avignon to Treves, from Itume to New York, at almost one and the same time. A. slight type of its defirining and perverting powers has been supplied for the consideration of this country to the obstinate tenacity of Puseyite innovators, in the rancorous hatred with which seceders from the fold of our Protestant Church have turned round upon the institutions which had for years nurtured and educated them; and in the insidious arts and inflexible perse verance with, which the emissaries of Rome have, for =ome time past, addressed themselves to the work of letaching, not I:Lyn:veil only, but ordained priests of the >stablishment from our communion. But no man who lees not wilfully shut his eyes to the relations Of cause and effect, to the evidences of unity of purpose and combination of means, can be blind to the steady and measured recurrence of those manifestations of the re vcving pretensions of the Papal Church which, in the brief course of three or four years, have convulsed the most cnoclern as well as the oldest of States, Mon irchies, and aupublics, the best governed and the worst. Scarcely had the presumptuous conturnacj of a refractory Archbishop been resented (and :hey were ultimately repressed) by the King of PRUSSIA, before all France was agitatt d from her capital to her frontiers, by the resuscitation of the Jesuits, and their demand to have the superintendence of the education of the youth of that country. But, as if to prove that the "odium theologicum" is not the exclu- rive or peculiar vice of any one Church, but the un christian feeling of all churches, rather, the Emperor of RUSSIA. has still more recently fulminated his autocratic " ukases" for religious conformity, by visiting his Ro m-in Catholic subjects with all the persecutions of the widest time—the proud and palmy days of spiritual domination—in order to compel them to come into the pale of the Greek Church. His tender solicitude for the " amity of faith," is so excessive, that he THE STN, LON DON, Tll ITRS,DA Y., P: VEN I A 1.3 G UST 21 1845 applies the persuasions of external force to the Igo -4 manists with as little compunction and modera tion as to the Jews whose felicity it is to live under his beneficent sway. The most enlightened and populous of the cities of another hemisphere, the capi tal of one of the States comprising that Federal Ueien which we are accustomed to speak of as the model of republics, only the other day witnessed the shedding of the blood of some of its best citizens, in a fierce affray between contending religious factions, that seem to re vive the memory of those which, in the age of JUVENAL, constantly afflicted Alexandria between Pagan sectaries; and some few centuries afterwards, between the still more ferocious Christian (so called) dogmatists, who supported or opposed the intolerant ATHANASIUS. It is in 1844 and 1845 that we hare a Roman Archbishop exhibiting, as they were exhibited in the middle ages, the very vestments of our Savroutt (?), and working miracles at Treves—in the shape of profitable collec tions for his treasury—as marvellous, as credible, as disinterested as any that were ever contrived at the shrine of our Lady of Loretto. In Switzerland—such is the insanity produced by this religious hatred—the peaceful Cantons have been moved to a suicidal civil war, the embers •of which are not yet extinguished, chiefly fur the object, on the pat of one of the States, of retaining that social subjugation which is always synoni mous with the permitted presence of the Jesuits whern another State, in a spirit of intolerance, accurately following that to which it was oppoael, had sought to expel by means equally violent and ille gal. But it is in Germany that the preaching of the Abbe JOIIANNES RONGE, the great exposer of the sacred relics at Treves, has aroused the ,fiercest storm of this theological persecution. Roruanism, Jesuitry, infallibi lity, have- arrayed themselves in all the panoply of the orthodox one and indivisible Church against the daring challenger of genuine old clothes. From such a cause— from beginnings so humble, almost so ridiculous, has just arisen the unwonted incident of a sanguinary popular commotion in 'that which may be called the commercial capital of Saxony—the peaceful and enlightened Saxony —whose excellent Monarch was so lately the honoured guest of our own Sovereign. German blood has flowed in an unseemly contest between the people, irritated against his Majesty's brothar_ ree-aa leaf.,, n „„e i „, favourer of Romish infallibility, and the humble, but energetic, and simple-minded RONGE, the second LUI'IIER of his country. complained no.: long ago, that owing to the great ex pense of colle:e education, and to -the Bishops &most universally mcpiring a college education of candidates ject of comment in many of these journals. They all attribute a political motive to it, but differ so among each other as to what that motive is that an impartial reader cau only come to the conclusion that there is no political motive whatever in the visit, or, at least, that if there be one, these writers are profoundly ignorant of it. The Legitiinatist organs see in it a great European con gress, from which revolutionary France is excluded, "in spite of the patronage of mercantile England," to use the language of la Fiance, while the Conmeice con siders that the object of the journey is " to conjure away the storm which threatens British commerce," should the Zollverein Congress, at Carlshrue, at the in stigation of the German southern states, increase the import duties on manufactured articles. for holy orders, the Church was becoming closed to all but members of he higher and rich middle classes. The Prime Minister has, in the course of the last session emphatically relrobated the expensiveness of Oxford and Cambridge. One great source of expense is the private tutor in tee universities, whose very existence is a repioach to the college tutor who has super seded the university professor. The college lectures being insufficient :o prepare the under-graduates for the examinations, they resort to private tutors, are paid at a much higher rate. Mr. LICELL says, " An Oxford tutor informed me that, in the years 1840 and 1841, no less than 250, or one-fifth of the resident students, pro cured this kind of assistance, tile aggcegate suet paid by titent amoul,ting to • more titan 10,0001. a yea..! Mr. LYELL quotes Dr. PEACOCK, the Dean of Ely, as affirm ing the same state of things at Cambridge. Dr. PEA. cocK Says; of the Cambridge private tutors—" These . teach, rs are young and in.:xperienecd, and not com petent to convey enlarged view to their pupils. This unhappy system has contributed more than any othcr cause to the very general, and, in some ri spects, just complaints which have been made of late years of the paucity of works of karnirg and research which hive issued from the Univ 4 rsity of Cambridge." The expenses of college education shut the doors of Oxford and Cambridge to a large portion of her MA JEsTr's subjects ; and religious tests exclude another large portion. Mr. LyEr.a. advises a royal commission hich might recommend the removal of tests, and sug gests many other improver Lents, and concludes with We learn from Bordeaux, 16th inst , that his Royal highness the Duke DE NEMOURS was much better, and that he and the DUCHESS w-fuld set out on the 18th for Mont-de-Marsan. Two grandees of Spain, who form part of the deputation appointed to accompany their Royal Highnesses from Bayonne to rampeluna, arrived at Bordeaux on the 16th. The accounts from Eu are most satisfactory as regards the health of the KING of the FRENCH. The Bourse was very animated, and the Funds and Rail road Shares generally improved.

Before the Reformation their spirit was Catholic and na tional ; since that period they have dwindled, not into theolo gical seminaries, for they have never in practice afforded a complete professional course" for divinity students, but into places for educating the clergy of the Established Church, and the aristocratic portion of the laity professing the same form of Christianity. Such a system, coupled with the abandonment of professional studies in general, tends to dissever throughout the country men of different callings, creeds, and professions. It has a demoralising influence. It separates, durine• the De mi hme the attorney, he r t hpeortwnor ito; thel o f ra y ind .. d . i t. e , ; l a , e s sieios,nttihi e b di r ,d r e e r n t fr r o y phy sician from the surgeon, the legislators and lawyers of England from those civilians to whom the government of eighty millions in India is to be consigned, the members of the Anglican Church from the Romanists of Stonyhurst or the Dissenters of Hackney. the civil engineers of Putney from the medical students of London. It disunites these and other sections of the same community, and throws them into antagonist masses, each keeping aloof from the other in cold and jealous se clusion, each cherishing sectarian party animosities, or professional and social prejudices. It is in the season o f youth, and wh en men are engage d in the common pursuit of knowledge --especially if allowed as far as possible to follow the bent of their own tastes and genius—that friendships might easily be formed, to si ften these hard outlines. At college they would be brought together on neutral, and usually on friendly ground, where kindly feelings and sympathies would spring up spontaneously, and would be cherished in after life, by congenial souls, however distant the station, er distinct the religious opinions or professional employments of their former fellow-students." For the particulars of this unhappy collision we mus refer our readers to the ac.'onnt we publish in another column of the disturbances at Leipsic. But we may be allowed to express our deep regret at the event. It mars, and neutralizes, as it were, that great experiment which, since the peace of 1814, has been so successfully conducted in many European kingdoms, of retaining vast populations. of different religious professions, in civil and social amity one with another, and in an unanimous and willing fealty to the common laws and institutions of the country to which they all belong. For our own parts, feel ing as laymen who desire to render to the Church, and more especially to religion generally, all their just rights, protection and honour, but who equally desire to see all ecclesiastical establishments and professions sub servient, not superior, to the dominant power of the State ; we cannot too forcibly express our sorrow at this untoward interruption of that great work of conso lidation which we have ever looked upon as one of the noblest attempts of civil polity in our times. We would fain hope that the sovereigns and princes in whose terri tories this mischievous spirit prompts and matures such outbreaks, will vigilantly apply themselves to the con 4 • deration of the best means of allaying—if not extinguish ing it. Where religious toleration and political justice have already discharged their respective duties to all communities in a State, there, we do think, the disturbers of the public repose, who will not brook the free and full discussion of spiritual abuses on moral prin ciples, but turn upon their challengers with the vindictive spirit of temporal persecutors, ought to be repressed by signal punishment. They onnpromise the cause of Christianity. They put in jeopardy the peace of Christendom. The secret movers of these per secutions are, we firmly believe, the Jesuits ; and we are almost tempted to concur in the following recent appeal of RoNGE for the absolute suppression of these too viva- MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIEF.—The nuptials of Lord Macdonald with Miss Wyndham, daughter of the Countess of Listowel, were solemnised this morning, in St. George's, Hanover-square, in the presence of a nu merous and distinguished circle, the relatives and frieLd • of both families. After the ceremony the Earl and Countess of Listowel gave an elegant dejeuner, in honour of the occasion, to a large party of the nobility. Since the 12th things had continued quiet at Leipsic. The troops that had fired on the people had been kept within their barracks—the communal guard had per formed the city duty, end had been well supported by the students. The funeral of the killed took place on the 15th without disturb2nce. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL OCCURRENCE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The following resume of events in that unfortunate city is given in the German Universal Gazette, under date of the 15:h : ILFRACOMBE, AUG. 20.—This morning between seven and eight o'clock an alarm was raised on the Quay that a lady was in the sea, and drowning, at the back of the houses on the Quay, and a general call for ropes and parties who could swim, in order to endeavour to save her. The wind was then blowing strongly from the N.W., and about high tide, the water being nearly twenty feet deep at the backs of the houses, with the sea beating violently against the walls. Mr. Edward Stephens, a respectable shoemaker of the town, happening to pass by, went through the house stripped off hi s clothes, and dashed into the foaming waves, and succeeded in coming up with the lady. A rope was then thrown to her, which she missed, but on being thrown out a second time, she succeeded in securing it, and was safely brought to the steps. " Yesterday at five o'clock another meeting of burgesses and students took place. The reports of the events of the 12th and. 13th were first read. The article of the semi-official Leipsic Gazette produced a great sensation, and it was resolved to protest against this tissue of falsehoods; but the definitive resolution was adjourned to Saturday. M. Bluin directed the attention of the meeting to what he regarded as the most essential point, viz , the interment of the victims. Deputa tions were sent to the municipal authorities, to ask for the town colours ; to the staff of the communal guard, inviting it to attend the ceremony ; to the military staff, to remonstrate on the conduct of the troops during the day, and to ask them to confine them to their barracks the next day ; and to the railroad terminus, to receive the deputation returning from Dresden with the King's answer. The meeting next made a collection to defray the necessary expenses. The sitting was suspended for an hour. The measures of the committee re ceived the general approbation. The families of the victims determined to have but one funeral ceremony for all, with the exception of M. Mortmann, of whose body an autopsy was to be made, in consequence of his family having lodged an ac tion for his death. The deputation from Dresden entered the hall at half.past nine. It was supposed that the cortege would muster 20,Q50. Wen,. The .Committee fulfilled their mission admirably. -gverythin g passed over this snorning at seven o'clock in the utmost order. At five o'clock this morning the Fletscher Platz was crowded with persons assembled to lake part in the funeral ceremony. The procession began to move at seven. It consisted of the communal horse-guards; a bat tallion of the communal foot-guards ; the students, in sections ; the band of the 4th battalion ; the flag of the university ; the Committee; the armourer's company; another band; the various Aeputations of the trades; an immense train of bur gesses and students, with flags, and a detachment of the com munal guards. The cortege proceeded along in the greatest silence, except in passing the chateau, where cries and threats were uttered. Some disturbance had been feared here, but nothing took place. In the cemetery, the coffins were placed side by side in the same grave, and speeches were delivered over them. The crowd withdrew in the utmost order." Another letter of the same date says:— " The deputation of the Municipal Council and the delegates of the city have returned from Dresden. The King, who re ceived them at noon, was affected to tears. His Majesty said that this event was one of the most cruel trials of his life, and that he was the more grieved that such an event should have occurred in Saxony, and particularly in Leipsic, as he and his family had always put up the most ardent prayers for the good of the country, without ever violating their duty. His Ma jesty added, that he was the more hurt as the address of the Municipal Council contained passages which seemed to indicate distrust." Mr. Stephens, when he found that the lady had secured the rope, let go his bold of her, when a wave took him out to sea, and a subsequent wave was seen to strike him ; which is supposed to have stunned him. He immediately went under water, and was drowned. He has left a widow and two children. cions emissaries of all mischief : " Arise, then, men of Germany and France ; men of Great:Britain, Italy, and Spain, arise ! Men of Europe and America—let us unite with our Government in the noble-enterprise. To the work, like Men,, the work of peace and freedom. The hour is come. Let us break the yoke imposed on faith and conscience—drag down lying priesthood and the Hierarchy ! Annihilate dis dainful Jesuitism, insulting GOD and man ; and usher in the glorious reign of truth, light, and righteousness—of virtue, of freedom, and of love." It appears 0* three ladies, of the name of Bailey, from Peterborough, have been staying at Martin's Boarding house on the Quay, for some time, and that they have been in the habit of bathing in the sea from the back of the house. The mode of approach to the beach is by a flight of steps, but when the tide is up there is no beach to land on, so that any person bathing at such time must plunge into deep water. These ladies being most expert, extraordinary, and beautiful swimmers, have been in the habit of plunging into deep water ; but this morning the wind and sea being both high, Miss Fanny Baily ventured to bathe, but from the sea beating against the wall she was not enabled to beat against the receding waters, in order to re cover the - steps from which she bad plunged, and was at the mercy of the waves ; she did not lose her self possession, and kept herself nobly on the surface of the waters ; she was much exhausted on being brought to shore, and was put to bed instantly, and is now going on favourably. The Misses Bailey are ladies of good property ; Miss Fanny Bailey's sisters have been with the disconsolate widow, and have as sured her that neither she nor the fatherless children shall be allowed to want any necessary comfort. The body of poor Stephens is not yet found. Mr. LYELL'S recently-published " Travels in North America," contain a chapter devoted to the English Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The eminent geologist's inquiries into the condition of the universities in the United States exposed him to many counter inquiries as to the English universities ; and Mr. LYELL felt much shame and humiliation in being com pelled to tell of the complete neglect of science and philosophy hi Oxford and Cambridge, and of their general inefficiency. In order to direct public attention in this country to what is so great a matter of shame and reproach to us, Mr. LYELL has entered at con siderable length into the question of the English Uni versities ; and as there is no one whose opinions on such a subject are more entitled, by scientific acquirements and fame, to attention, we make no apology for present ing our readers with some extracts from Mr. LYELL . B chapter on Oxford and Cambridge. The general rule in Oxford and Cambridge is, that the university professors have no audiences. The edu cation is carried on, not by the university professors, but by college-tutors : and the subjects taught by the college-tutors are almost exclusively classics and mathe matics, which are the subjects of examination for de grees. Those who aspire to honours through the me dium of these examinations have no time to attend the lectures of the university professors ; the college sys tem of education, and the college-created system of uni versity examinations, fill up all their time ; while those who do not aspire to honours, and do not devote them selves to classics and mathematics, have no inducement to attend the professors' lectures, as the universities give no honours in connexion with the subjects which they profess. An attempt was made in Oxford in 1839 to require the attendance of all under-graduates, on some professors' lectures ; and on very strong representations of many of the most eminent professors, the Board of Heads proposed to Convocation a statute requiring attendance on at least two series of professors' lectures, as a preliminary qualification for the B. A. degree. The proposed statute was rejected by Convocation ; but another statute was passed compelling professors to lecture. We quote Mr. LrELL's remarks on this con duct of Convocation and its results While they threw out that part of the proposed statute which would have gone far towards reviving the professorial chairs, they passed another part requiring the Professors of Astronomy, Experimental Philosophy, Chemistry, Geo logy, Mineralogy, Anatomy, Botany, Medicine, Civil Law, English Law, Greek, Arabic, Sanscrit, Anglo_ Saxon, Poetry, Modern History, and Politicsl Economy, to de liver regular courses of lectures. They were, in faet, bound, not only by ancient statutes, to require the teachers above enumerated faithfully to discharge their duty, but in modern times, or since the examination statute of 1800, they had sanctioned the foundation of new chairs, such as Experi mental Philosophy, Mineralogy, Geology, Political Economy, and Sanscrit, and had accepted annual grants from the Crown to endow certain readerships. In homage therefore to the moral obligations they had incurred, not to render these new and old foundations nugatory, they continued to exact an outward conformity to the statutes, by enforcing the delivery of lectures, the efficiency of which they allowed other parts of their system entirely to defeat. Their conduct reminds us of the orders issued by Charles V. to offer up prayers through out Spain for the deliverance of the Pope. while he suffered his army to retain him prisoner in the Castle of St. Angelo. After the year 1839. we may consider three fourths of the sciences, still nominally taught at Oxford, to have been virtually exiled from the University. The class rooms of the Professors were some of them entirely, others mostly, deserted. Chemistry and botany attracted, be tween the years 1840 and 1844, from three to seven students; geometry, astronomy, and experimental philosophy same e cely more; professor, miwrhieor,alofigf y tee a n nd years geoog b y ef s o t r i e l t h a a u d gh t at b t r y a c te the d crowded audiences, from ten to twelve ; political economy still fewer; even ancient history and poetry scarcely commanded an audience ; and, strange to say, in a country with whose destinies those of India are so closely bound up, the first of Asiatic scholars gave lectures to one or two pupils, and these might have been absent had not the cherished hope of a Boden scholarship for Sanscrit induced them to attend." By a letter from Constantinople, of the 27th ult., we learn that accounts had been received there of the lust operations of the Cotnmander-in-Chief of the Russian forces in the Caucasus, Count WORONZOFF, in which he states that he had obtained great and brilliant sucesses. The general opinion in Constantinople was that too much importance should not be attached to these first suc cesses of the Russians, as it forms part of the tactics of the Mountaineers to retire into the mountains on the ap proach of their enemy, in the hope of drawing him into difficulties and danger. News had also reached Constan tinople frcm Circassia. The population of the environs of Anapa had, at the instigation of SOLIMAN EFFENDI, one of the emissaries of Prince SCHAMIL, declared against Russia. These people have joined the troops of SOLIMAN EFFENDI, which are commanded by CARA BATYR, 20n of SErtit BEY, who is an exile at Adrianople. This army is said to have driven a Russian column from Tschowato. Several Beys of Circassian tribes, which had submitted to Russia, have gone over with all their foliowers to SCHAMIL, in the Dhagestan, and taken up arms. Salem'. continues to act in the north, and DANIEL BEY, Ex.:Sultan of Jellikoi, in the south of Dhagestan. Both are provided with artillery. SCHAMIL is reported to have made an attack On the fortress of Amakchan, and DANIEL BEY upon the town of Tschok. In fine, however, it appears that no serious affair has yet taken place. Madrid papers of the 136 i have been received. The restitution of the Church property to the secular clergy is the subject of comment in all of them. The Espanol publishes a letter from Paris, stating that M. Rossi had received instructions to support the negotiations of M. CASTILLO Y AYENSA with the Holy See. The cause of the dismissal of General CAMINERO from the post of Military Commandant of Malaga, is stated to be his want of energy during the recent disturbances. We read in a letter from' St. Sebastian of the 13th:— " The day before yesterday their Majesties went for an ex cursion on the water. Their boat having got aground, and all the efforts of the sailors to float her being fruitless, ten or twelve peasants who were at work near the spot rushed into the water and succeeded in setting the boat free. Yesterday Queen Isa bella visited the regiment of Alalloua, which is in garrison here. She was received with enthusiasm, and pardoned several sol diers who had been condemned for desertion. After the visit the Queen and her mother entered a magatticent tent, where they partook of a collation provided by the officers. The bull fights commenced this day, and the Queen and the Infanta were present. Three bulls were killed." a have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Const:tuCoanc/ has a long and able article on the canner in which the Jesuits are evading the law for their dispersion, and in some instances actually disobeying its provisions. Aft.r commenting on the manner in which the negotiations had been conducted by the Pontifical Government, it proceeds : " What is the result? First of all, can it he said that the law will be executed? The existing houses will be closed, but others will be opened ; the fathers will not live together in great numbers, bat they will separate into a multitude of little communities; they will continue to remain landowners in com mon, by transgressing the law; the body will not, therefore, be really dissolved, and therefore the law will not be complied with, but merely eluded. Thanks, however. to the manifes tation of the Chambers, and the apparent satisfaction which is given them, the scandal of illegality will have disappeared. Father :noires will not again assume in a trial the title of father -procurator, an.l M. de Ravignan will not publish any more pamphlets to defy the lams and the courts 'of justice. But have the other effects, which might have been obtained from a well-conducted negotiation, been obtained? Has the Pontifical Government diminished, by the conduct which it has observed, the confidence of the bishops in the Jesuits ? Will the fathers, transformed into auxiliary priests, exercise less influence on the ultramontane instruction of the great religious schools, or less despotism over the secondary clergy? Will th ey not have, under the new disguise, more pretexts and facilitie s to elude the dispositions which prescribe to every professor in a religious school to declare that he does not belong to any unauthorised religious community ? Are not our ministers about to avail themselves of a false appear. ance to exhibit more feebleness towards the clergy ? Has the Church really separated its cause from that of the society ? Has it net, on the contrary, confounded the two more together, by placing itself. in the whole affair, behind Father Roothan The Deputies, the electors, all who read and think in France, are serious people, who know what they have determined 0:) . We have not asked for persecution, but we have demanded from the Government sincere and efficient acts. Sincerely, then, has all that is now passing a character of frankness and truth?" The visit of Queen VICTORIA to Germany is the sub .. Mr. LYELL'S account of Cambridge is very similar:— " Very recently at Cambridge, all branches of knowledge taught by th e p ro f essors —i n a wor d, every sub ject except what is understood in our universities by classics and mathe matics—have had sen t ence o f b an i s h men t passe d u p on them to the form of new compulsory examinations, under the manage ment of college tutors, the Oxford plan of awarding honours to classical and mathematical attainments alone being adhered to. The professors of chemistry and anatomy, wbo had formerly considerable Cl asses , h ave on l y mustered s i x or seven pupi l s , although still compelled to give courses of fifty lectures each. The chairs of modern history, and of the application of machinery to the arts, once numbering audiences of several hundreds, ha ve b een i n like manner deserted. Yet dispensa tions are rarely granted for the discontinuance of useless duties, even when only two pupils present themselves. Moreover, here, as at Oxford, it is not uncommon to give such chairs as mathematics, natural phil oso ph y , c h em i stry, botany, astronomy, geology, mineralogy, and o th ers, to clergymen, who combine them w i th clerical duties, or throw them up when they obtain preferment; and who, however eminent, owing, as they must do, a mixed allegiance, partly to their ecclesiastical order, and partly to the professional body. cannot stand up with heart and courage in defence of the public, as opposed to the clerical and collegiate interests." The education afforded by Oxford and Cambridge is not only thus limited and unsatisfactory in character, but is most unreasonably expensive.

It is not amiss to make this observation at the moment when the gene ral harvest is on the point of beginning. It is well known that the harvest of 1844 was abundant and of good quality. A letter from Arlon of the 16th announces the arrival of M. de Moor, inspector of bridges and- highways, on Wednesday last. He is accompanied by numerous as sistants, who, together with those already in Luxem burg, are going to commence the surveys for the iron railway in that province. These surveys are to be car ried on with so much activity, that they will be com pletely finished by the month of November next, the time of the opening of the Chambers. If, as we have no doubt, the concession is granted, the works may com mence in the next seas , a. ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 7.—An imperial ukase has just been published, the chief articles of which are the following : The 1. The coasting trade, that is to say the conveyance of goods from one Russian port to another, in the same sea, shall be henceforth exclusively reserved to Russian subjects and ships sailing under Russian colouri. 2. A duty of 50 per cent., besides that fixed by the tariff, shall be ]..vied on goods of whatever origin im ported under foreign colours. 3. Foreign ships shall pay in our ports a tonnage duty of one silver ruble per last both on their arrival and de parture. _ 4. The regulations in sections 2 and 3 shall be in force from . the opening of the navigation in 1846, and shall so remain as long as the circumstances shall con tinue which have induced this measure. 5. The ships of those nations are exempted from the regulations of sections 2 and 3, in which ports the Russian flag is treated on the same footing as the national flag, or as that of the most favoured nations, and the ships of that nation shall be assimilated to the, Russian vessels in regard to the duties of navigation, either in the ports of the Russian empire or the Grand Duchy of .Finland. 6. By virtue of the rule laid down in the preceding paragraph, every difference which shall remain, or which shall result in future, from this ukase, between Russian and foreign ships in the ports of the empire of Russia and the Grand Duchy of Finland, with respect to the navigation and other duties, in favour of any nation, the Government of which grants entire reciprocity to the Russian flag, shall be suppressed.—Jon, nal de Frankfort, August 18.

Bromley was returning to his house, the Brecknock Arms. Camden-town, he was thrown from his horse within 150 yards of his residence, to which he was con veyed, and expired in an hour and a quarter. It appears that his horse, which was a high spirited one, took fright at a gaslight which suddenly becomes visible at that point, and threw him on his head, by which his neck was dislocated. He gave no signs of consciousness up to the moment of his death. A. correspondent complains of the frequent incon venience to which he has been subjected by the loss of letters sent by the post, and wlieh, in spite of the paraphernalia of printed forms, rules, regulations, Sec., seems to be irreparable. Perhaps he goes too far in speaking of the misfortune as a common one ; but his remark that the practice of pre -payment off..rs a temptation to neglect on the part of the postmen i 3 worth attention. Formerly the postman paid for the letters as he took them from the office, and the only means of reimburs ing himself was by delivering them at their several addresses. Now, the letters being prepaid, this inducement to a punctual performance of duty ceases to exist, and the non“delivery of letters becomes more probable, though still, it must be con fessed, it is very rare.— Times. STAGE COAcill OVERTURNED.—On Tuesday night an accident occurred in New Coventry-street, Leicester square, which had nearly been attended with serious conse quences to two ladies and a gentleman. A stage coach, having three inside passengers, who had arrived in it from the ter minus at Nine Elms, was proceeding at a rapid rate along New Coventry.street, when the coachman drove over a heap of rubbish, which overturned the coach.
