WORCESTER, TENBURY, and LUDLOW RAILWAY COMPANY. (Provisionally registered.) Capital 300,000/., in 6,000 Shares of 56d. each. Deposit, 2/. 154. per Share. This short but Important Line is designed to connect the present intended Railway from Hereford to Newtown and Shrewsbury with the City of Worcester. Leaving the Severn Valley, it will reach with an easy sweep the Valley of the Tome, and passing within a distauce of the town of Tenbury, will join the Ilereford and Shrewsbury Railway, about halfway between Tenbury and Ludlow. In length, it will not exceed twenty miles, and follow, in the greater part of its course, the Valley of the Teme on a water level. It will thus bo necessarily inexpensive in construction, and occupy but a short period in its formation. The country is populoas and fertile, and, on the completion of the Itailviay from Oxford to Worcester, this line will be absolutely necessary to perfect the communication between the Metropolis and North and Central Wales, and eventually the Centre and North of Ireland. Worcester, from its situation to the rich Vale of the Severn ; from its Population, Wealth, and Manufactures, must naturally be come the most important centre to which all lines from the Metropolis, having North Wales, part of South Wales, and Ireland as their objects of communication, eventually converge. There are no difficult earth works on the line. The gradients are most easy. A survey of the whole line has been completed. In the allotment of Shares every preference will be given to parties locally interested. A prospectus, with full particulars, will bo issued in a few days. Application for Shares must be made in the form appended, to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle street, London, or William Dutton, Esq., Solicitor, 16, Chancery-lane, London. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Provisional Committee of the Worcester, Tenbury, aud Lud low Railway. Gentlemen,—l request that you will allot me Shares, of 50/. each, in the above proposed Railway, and I undertake to pay the deposit of 2/. 15s. per Share thereon, or any less number you may appropriate to me, and to execute the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract when required.

Sentlaby has been occupied for months In giving effect to this matchless and superb design, which combined with the Feux D'Arti- Ace, the:Salute and Discharge of Rockets from the Castle and sur rounding heights, will form the most brilliant Pyrotechnic Display Aver witnessed. ab,:cnt „I:C1 take no part whatever in the debates. The - fact is thus stated in one of the Dublin papers of Thursday : " We are in a position to state," says the Freeman," that should a call of the House be ordered, it will be disobeyed, and that O'Connell, O'Brien, John O'Connell, Dillon Browse, Grattan, and the other representatives of tl.e people, who labour in the na tional cause, will treat the threat of Mr. Hume and the call of Cle Speaker with equal indifference. When these men came to the resolve of serving - Ireland in Ireland, they counted the cost and accepted all the difficulties of their choice. At pre sent the interests of Ireland demand their presence here, and here they have determined to remain till duty shall call them elsewhere. If duty should call them to Westminster either to resist oppressive, or to improve ameliorating measures, they are as prepared to labour there as they now are to labour here. But they, and not the British Parliament, are the judges of the time and the circumstances under which their presence in the English House of Commons may become a duty ; and should the Parliament attempt to coerce them to attend its sittings at any time, other than they themin-lves may select, they are resolved to give the Sergeant-at-Arms an opportunity of making an arrest, and afterwards to test by due process the legality of that arrest, and thus try the right of the British Parliament to enforce the attendance of an Irish representative. This resolution was unanimously come to yesterday by an influential Committee, and we lose not an hour in giving the assembled senators thebenefit to be derived from an early knowledge of the fact." From the concurring testimony of the City or money articles of our own paper and our contemporaries, we are induced to believe that the period of re-action in the Share• market, to which we have so often felt it our duty to advert, is not very far distant. The Times thus pointedly alludes to the matter, in its yesterday's impres sion:—" The Railway Share-market continues heavy, and the increase of sales depresses prices. In fact, all the markets arc in a declining condition ; and souse few fancy that the period of re-sction his at length arrived." It must have struck the most casual observer of such operations for some time past, that prices in the Share-market have either maintained a buoyancy difficult to be accounted for on all ordinary principles of scrip speculation, or have even exhibited a tendency to rise in a degree to be looked for, under ordinary circumstances, only in the shares of first-rate and long-established concerns which have attained a species of maturity in the continued confi dence of the public. One can perfectly well understand, when the interest on Government securities is so low as that which they at present pay, that shares in the capital of such magnificent and undoubted Companies, or Asso ciations, as the Bank of England, the East India Com pany, the New River Company, and some others which rarely find their way, at all even, into the market, should be eagerly sought after as the safest and most eligible channels in which individuals can make investments. It is easy to imagine that, with a view to the security of their principal, parties may be disposed to buy into such concerns as these, at as high a premium (should the shares be carrying such, in the market) as to leave them but an inconsiderably higher return of interest than they would receive from investments in the Government stocks. They are justified, however, in thus determining, by the guarantees of long experience, reiterated tests, and not merely the unabated but increasing fay( ur in which these Associations stand with the monied public of all the civilised world. But when we find—out of two new railway undertakings—some, not yet in actual working. others but very recently commenced—that 99 are above par, and perhaps 70 or 80 at a premium in the share market, and again that the range of this pre mium from 1 per cent. on the shares of some railway companies to 10 per cent. on tho: o • of others, is clearly not referable to the varying degree of relative advan tages which they are likely to secure to their respective proprietaries, but by some not apparent and not inhe rent causes we are justified in surmising that a spirit of gambling, either fraudulent or capricious, must be the principle which strikes these differences of nominal value, where dune are, as yet, no practical results c f fact and of experimental working to decide the it'd value of such shares. Now, whether the price that is thus set, be created by the caprice or the fruul of gambling speculation, that is to say, whether it be a fancy or a factitious price, it is equally worthless as an index of value. If these premises be admitted, let us apply them to the eighty or ninety millions of capital s ock of railway undertakings, which the heat of that excitement we speak of has, for months past, kept fer menting and raising to an artificial temperature. The Lime is coming at which, if we may be allowed to pursue the figure, a vast proportion of this aerated mass is to be .irawa off. What will be the per centage . of immediate loss occasioned by that process ? When the moment has come at which the operation of settling and realising shall be extensively resorted to —when it ill no longer be a question with speculators how high by a little management they can send up shares on this a. that project over a certain day (all dealings in them, in the meanwhile, being in the nature of time bargains `)nly, and for " differences"), but how low beyond their original cost price they can prevent them from tumbling ,lown, when the disorganization of the general share market shall square prices by the value of money multi plied in the inverse ratio of the discredit that will have infalliby overtaken the scrip of two-thirds of such com panies ; when that moment shall have arrived, we must be prepared to hear of frightful deficiencies and 3efalcations. The balance between the prices at which shares have been nominally bought, and must be actually sold, will represent a sacrifice of capi cal perfectly appalling. And all this will be indepen lent of that loss which is always most severe, on the most sanguine or mercurial speculation. What we have supposed above, applies specially to the railway projects chat will probably be at a discount—that is to say, to the great majority of them. But there w:11 be a few a favourite few —of which more shares will have become the subject of con tracts for delivery at a specified day, than ttiere will be afloat in the market. These can' oily be evoked by the potent but ruinous spell of pay ing increased premiums upon them. By analogy we shall have the old story re-enacted of the Dutch Bur gomaster who speculated in the " stock" of the unique black and white Verelst Viceroy tulip, to the extent of a thousand bulbs at a thousand guilders a piece. The frenzy of the tulip mania had just then attained its height, and " the one famous" Aletnaez Viceroy had fetched 4,200 guilders. Our Burgomaster was tempted by what e :er amount of premium he liked to set upon his Verehts, till at last ho bad disposed of his thousand bulbs for 2,000 guilders each, • covenanting to delivt r the said bulbs in two months. A very capital operation he thought he had made. His tulip contract shares changed owners, till they were distributed into nearly a thousand hands. The usual panic came, and with it the re- action. Tho Burgomaster's day of de livery arrived ; and, lo I there were but 500 bulbs to be had, or known to be in existence. Could the Burgo master have summoned together twice the capital repre sented by the exorbitant price he had obtained for his bulb shares, he could not have extricated himself from the ruin which overwhelmed him. Madrid journals of the 2d inst. have been received. Monday was kept as a close holiday, being the anniver ..ary of the rising against the French in 1803. Tho Cortes did not meet, and the Bourse was shut. The first clause of the Bill for farming the fortifica tions of Paris has been adopted by the Chamber of Deputies. The sum proposed was 14,130,000 f. (56,5001.), ind on a division there was fur the clause, 227, and against it, 144—majority, 83. This is a very large majority, and leaves no doubt that the fortification of the capital is now un fait accompli. The debate on this clause .was enlivened in a variety of ways—by soma sharp-shooting between M. ARAGO and General Parc- LIANS, an amusing speech of M. ALLARD (the reporter of the Bill), and a personal quarrel between M. TRIERS and M. DE LAMARTINE. The philosopher, when the affair became serious, had no chance with the General, and was compelled to admit that many of his calculations and conclusions, made at a former sitting, were quite untenable. M. ALLARDE ?tuned into utter ridicule the idea that any new danger to the citizens of Paris could be apprehended from arming the forts. " There are other means already existing," said he, " far more serious ones, of bombard ing Paris. At the very gates of Paris stands the Butte Montmartre. Now, just suppose that some thirty of the five Or six hundred pieces of cannon kept at Vincennes (not far off either) be conveyed to that height —suppose that seven or eight thousand men be also stationed there, in order to fire and protect them just stippose this, and I most positively tell you that Paris will be destroyed in less than twenty-four hours." .‘ Don't make suppositions like these," said General LAIDET. " There arc crimes of which we should not allow ourselves even to form an idea." " Well," replied the other, " but let us look to ourselves. Permit me to add that the front of the palace in which you are now sitting presents itself so very well to the aforesaid Batte, that I defy the most in experienced gunner not to send his first ball amongst us." This was followed by shouts of laughter, and the speaker continued :—" Thus when you accuse the forts of threatening the liberties of the country, you must own that the Butte Montmartre is also guilty of the same imputed crime. To these suppositions there are but two things wanting—a Government daring enough to realise them, and an army to second it. lam c,n vineed that neither will ever be found." When the oh,frioewtreihi (from n ieh f the hi p f l o a l c l e o ) w s d g th i e s t President was about to put the question of the vote, the scene between M. TIIIERS and M. DE LAMARTINE oc curred,aheb wishedr ef outline:— " u t t o l i explaine: he " sh M ot;l T A the tl preceding Bil no before the f h e had House. done his He should net have ma dea why day. were it not for the speech which had been delivoeuraredno:remarks, Admission, One Shilling.

His conduct on that occasion had certainly drawn on him most shameful calumnies, but he despised them when expressed as they had been the day before.—(Great agitation.) " A Voice--Order I Order I " M. Thiers—lf what the Hon. Deputy asserted yesterday was true, the Chamber must have been composed, when the fortifica tions were voted, of dupes and traitors, but there had been neither one nor the other. They who had voted for that work had not dime S 9 to please him (I‘l. Thiers), but because they were satis. fled, like General llsxo, like General Valaze, and like Napoleon himself, that such an act would be of the greatest benefit to the country. He had frequently heard General Bertrani declare that the Emperor had said to him that the greatest service that could be rendered to France was to fortify the capital. M. de Lamartine had spoken of the influence of the fortifications on the balance of power in the State. Some day or other, he (M. Thiers) should perhaps tell how in that balance the equilibrium bad come to be broken, but he should choose his own time for doing so, and should himself decide when it might be useful to write that history. "M. De Lamartine thought that the violent language used by M. Thiers, when complaining of having been calumniated by those who considered the fortifications most dangerous to France, justified the doubt and uneasiness which the measure inspired in the country.—(Murmurs.) But the words of the Hon. Deputy were not of the same weight as facts. He should prove from his own dispatches that he had not the slightest idea of war in 1840, and, consequently that the fortifications of Paris were not re quired, but were nothing more or less than an act of Ministerial dictatorship.—(lnterruption.) M, Thiers, in a dispatch, dated March 15th, 1840, declared that the French and English Govern ments agreed at bottom in their views.'—(Movement.) In a dis patch from Lord Granville, of May 1, 1840, it was said, M. Thiers has communicated to me a dispatch to his consul at Alexandria, di. rect:ng him to make the Pacha clearly understand, that France, in order to preserve Syria to him, would not compromise her rela.. lions with England.'—(Fresh marks of interest.) Besides, M. Thiers had himself declared in the Chamber just before the forma. tion of his Ministry, that whatever might be the aspect of affairs in Europe, there was no danger of a cannon being fired.' Where, then, were the signs of war ? Where the necessity of the fortifi cations ? Lord Palmerston, in one of his dispatches to M. Buiwer in Paris, said, I have given M. Guizot to understand'—M. Guizot was then Ambassador at London—' that the French fleet ought not to be placed in such a pesition wills respect to ours as to produce a collision, and he replied that care should be taken to prevent it.'—(Continued movement.) He respected the convic tions of M. Thiers, as that gentleman ought to have respected his, but he must still reproach him with having placed his country on the verge of so great a danger, and thrown round the capital of France so menacing a circuit. M. Thiers, in the course of his remarks, had pronounced a word which might possess a personal character— one that hail never been applied to him (M. de Lamartine), and which he should never permit any man to so apply. He must call on the Hon. Deputy to declare precisely what he meant by that ex pression, and when he shout./ have explained, he (M. de Lamar. tine) should know in what manner he ought to reply to him. — (Tumult, agitation.) "The President—Both Hon Deputies had expressed their opi. 'lions as they had a right to do. Nothing of a personal character could be attributed to their words. Their political views were alone referred to, and nothing more could be said of the matter.—(Cries of Hear, hear,' and continued agitation.) " Some other speakers made brief remarks amidst great agitation ; a division took place, and the Chamber ad journed. ImmeJiately a ftcr the Chamber ruse, the Presid.-nt sent for M. TIIIERS and M. DE LAIS.RTINE :o his private cabinet. The following account of the in terview is given by the correspondent of a Contem- porary :- 0 M. Thiers replied, that he had no wish to meet M. de Lamar. tine, but he appointed M. de Remusat and M. Ganneron to at.. tend for him; while M. de Lamartine attended in company with Ge neral Liadet and the Mar Luis de la Rochejaquelin. M. Thiers had previously declared to his friends, ' that he would rather stand fifty shots than retract a single word he had made use of.' M. de Lamartine was the first to enter the President's cabinet. He stated distinctly to the President, and the four friends present ou behalf of the two parties, that in the words which he had used in the course of his speech on the preceding day, and which had given offence to M. Thiers, it was not to that gentleman he alluded at all, and that he had never suspected the good faith of M. Tillers. After M. de Lamartine had left the cabinet, M. Thiers entered, and on being informed of the explanation given by the former, he said that as his opponent had no intention of alluding to him, he could have no objection to withdraw the offensive expression of which he had made use ; but he reserved to himself the liberty of withdrawing what he then said till such time as M. de Lamartine's explanation was regularly drawn up upon paper. M. de Remusat was then appointed to draw up a statement of the explanations on both sides." Next day before proceeding to public business the President informed the Chamber that, " in consequence of the language w hich had taken place the preceding day between M. THEIRS and M. DE LADIARTINE, he had deemed it his duty to call those Honourable Gentleman to his private cabinet; that there, in the presence of mutual friends, explanations had been given by both the Honourable Deputies, which, in the opinion of their friends were perfectly satisfactory. The Chamber (ob served the President) would hear with pleasure of this termination of the difference that had arisen between two of their colleagues of such c onsideration, and so well deserving of each other's esteem." This announcement was received with cheers. The discussion was then re sumed. The amendment of M. LAROCREJAQUELIN for depositing the guns in the arsenal of Toulouse fell to the ground, as no one seconded the motion. Another amendment was proposed, but no result had taken place at the time of post. The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : The Journal du Havre publishes a very long letter from M. Lepaire, master of a trading vessel, complaining of vexations whilst at Ichaboe taking i■ a cargo of guano, on the part of Captain Brooke, of her Majesty's ship Thunderbolt. The writer, however, does not reproaeh Captain Brooke simply with his con. duct towards French traders, but declares that he has been equally tyrannical and unaccommodating to those of his own country. As regards M. Lepaire, however, the charges are chiefly for want of courtesy, and too unimportant to render it necessary for us to give them in detail.

LORD FRANCIS EGERTON. The Manchester Cou✓iel, of this day, contains a long letter from Lord Francis Egerton, in reply to the remonstrances of many of his constitutents o n the subject of his recent vote in favour or the grant to Maynoutn. It appears that one of his Lordship's correspondents has thought proper to express his regret at Lord Francis Egerton 's vote in the following, certainly not most relined, language :—" I regret it also be cause it gives the lie to almost all the other actions of your Lordship's honoured life." - From the charge of inconsistency thus recklessly br.ught against him, the Noble Lord vindi cates himself in the following calm and gentlemanly manner : " It is clear from the latter passage that one of the few incideuts of my life worth the notice of the writer or any one else, had altogether escaped it. I changed my name in 1833, and this cir cumstance may possibly account for his evident unconsciousness that in 1825 I moved a resolution for the payment of the Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland. I nave never, with respect to the justice and policy of that proposal, altered the opinions which induced me to make, and a majority of a purely Protestant House of Commons to accept it ; but I can also say, what is more to the purpose of this letter, that I have not to my recollection or know. ledge, in any assembly, public or private, given any reason or ground for the supposition that I had done so. It is true that, as far as I am aware, the subject was never brought into discussion at any county meeting, but that is not my fault. It was a topic per fectly open to any of my opponents, Churchman or Dissenter, to bring forward, even if my supporters chose to avoid it. It was embalmed in Hansard ready for use; I never shrunk from it; if I had seen reason to do so, I should not have twice solicited and obtained the services of a Roman Catholic gentleman for my n's. ruination at the hustings of Newton. If I had exchanged ray opi. Mons of 1826 for those which I am now invited to adopt, I could not have even asked for his vote." With regard to the warnings held out to him by his former supporters, he says— "l am now warned—l cannot call it threatened —that my votes will lose me support which I value, and conflidenee 1 have been proud to enjoy. I make no pretence to indifference on receiving these Intimations. I view them with deep regret, because I con. eider them as indications that a state of opinion prevails i.t a most important and valuable class of my countrynaen, which, in propor tion to the g ood qualities of those who hold it, is dan.gerons to the security of the state and th e i n t e grity of the emp ire.'' Such an opinion so expressed by such a man Would, we should hope, cause those opponents of the Illaynooth Bill, and who have not altogether suffered their reason to be swamped by their passions, to pause in their career, and to consider well the consequences of 'their conduct before they give themselves up to do the work of bigotry and fanaticism. Lcrd Francis Egerton resigns his seat fur South Lancashire. lle, however, disclaims the honours of political martyrdom. " In en ordinary, but Incorrect acceptation of the word, I am a martyr; not, however, to Maynooth, but to disease, which in. capacitates me for the public service; and this circumstance will preclude me from becoming one in the real intent of the term." After expressing his respect for the religious convictions in which the remonstrances on the subject of Maytmoth have had their origin, Lord Francis Egerton concludes in the following terms may on which the • As it happens, be the principles what th e y G ov ernment of this empire is henceforth to be conducted, I can have but little share or influence in the matter. I confess that, if that Government is to be administered on the assumption that our Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen are idolators—if that theory is to be worked out to its consequences, I shall be thankful that cir cumstances, however distressing in themselves, operate to release me from the 650th share of responsibility for the welfare of the State, to which, as a Member of Parliament, I now consider myself liable." We trust that all men of all parties will ponder well thi s the deliberate record of the opinions of a Christian gen tleman, a man of honour, a true statesman, and a profound „ be found a maa ~ .ho is eII th;„so willing to incur that responsibility from which Lord Francis Egerton shrinks.

(Before the LORI)MATOR, RECORDER and ALDRRhIRN.) These sessions whre held this day. There was a great deficiency of jurymen, both grand and petty. Of the former, four were flueil 10/. each ; of the latter, several were fined a similar sum, and as there were not a sufficient number to form a second jury,,all above the first twelve were discharged from further attendance. Henry England vas indicted for an assault on John Walton. It appeared by the evidence, that the prosecutor went to some pre mises belonging to him, and let to a person named Banfield, who sold his business to the defendant. Prosecutor went to the house to get his rent, and found the place nearly stripped ; he was going to make a distraint, when defendant seized him by the collar, and threatened to throttle him. The goodo were got away, and the key was kept for eight weeks afterwards. He had offered to settle on an apology, and the rent due at the time being paid. The RECORDER suggested to Mr. Wilde, defendant's counsel, that the plea of Not Guilty should be withdrawn, and defendant enter into a recognizance to appear for judgment next sessions. He considered, that under the circumstances, it would be much " cheaper" for the defendant. Mr. WILDE said, that after what had fallen from the Court, he had no hesitation in advieing that course. Defendant was then found Guilty. Mr. PAYNIE addressed the Recorder, and said, that as the Court of Queen's Bench had decided that appeals could not be heard at intermediate sessions, it was to be regretted some arrangement could not be made that the jury should not be called en, as they were now liable to be called eight times a year. The RECORDER said that when the Magistrates of the City of London thought intermediate sessions unnecessary, he should feel happy to relieve them ; but he did not see why there should not be intermediate sessions. It was so in other courts, and grave mat ters were tried. He thought, however, that it would be advisable to appoint appeals to be heard on the adjournment day of the Quar ter Sessions, when ,the list of cases for the jury war light, or a special day appointed, which would prevent the unnecessary and prolonged attendance of parish officers. The Grand Jury brought in several bills for assaults and mis demeanours, but the parties put in bail and traversed, and the court broke up. VAUXHALL GARDENS. Great preparations have been made for the re-oper.ing of Vauxhall Gardens en Monday next. The new management proposes to reduce the price of re. freshments to the same scale es that adapted at respectable taverns. CONVICTS TOR VAN DltrtUN's LAND AND Olt- FOUL ISLAND. —The Naiad and Nymph steam-packets of the Wool. wich Company brought down the river upwards of 200 convicts yesterday morning from Millbank Penitentiary, to be put on board the David Malcolm hired convict ship, lying Ott the Royal Arsenal, Burgess, who w . ss sentenced to transportation for his connexion with the bank robbery of about 8,0001., the greater part of which was recovered, when taken in America ; Dalmas, for the murder of a woman on Battersea-bridge; and Tolzer, fora murder in Rat cliffe.highway, are among the unfortunates, and will have to pass the remainder of their lives on Norfolk Island, one of the severest petrel settlements in New South Wales. The whole of the convicts brought down yesterday have been sentenced to transportation for crimes which call for the adoption of rigorous punishment, and they will all be sent to Norfolk Island; but it is expected a few will yet be received on board for conveyance to Van Diemen's Land.

The House of Commons met shortly before Four. Mr. FORBES MACKENZIB took the oaths and his seat for Peebles-shire. Mr. GISBORNE moved, " That in all cases in which the Members of a Committee on a railway Bill, or group of Bills, should be reduced to four, the proceedings on such Bill or group of Bills shall fbe suspended until the Committee of Selection shall have discharged one of the said four Members from further attendance on the said Committee." The motion was opposed by Lord G. SOMERSET, Mr. LABOUCHERE, and several other Members. Sir G. GREY moved the following amendment : " That upon all questions before Railway Committees, on which there was a difference of opinion, those ques tions should be decided by the majority of voices ; but where the Members on the Committee were even, that the Chairman should have two voices, or a casting voice." After a short discussion the motion was withdraw n, and the amendment was agreed to. Sir R. PEEL moved that the House at its rising do adjourn to Thursday next, which was agreed to. The second reading of the Parochial Settlement Bill was postponed until the 9th of June. Sir .1. GRAHAM then moved for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject of Academical Education in Ireland, and in so doing, admitted that religious differences con stituted the great difficulty in the way of establishing a general system in . both countries, and that in Ireland this great anomaly existed viz., that for centuries the religion of the great majority of the people had b?en treated as a hostile religion. The only way in which this difficulty could be met was by adopting the principles set forth in the report of the Commission appointed in 1806 to consider this subject, which proposed to institute a national system of educa tion which should be open to all classes of the people, while it kept clear of all differences with respect to the particular religious tenets of any. On that principle be intended to f.,und his measure. The Right Hon. Gen tleman then went at great length into the history of na tional education in Ireland up to the present time. He should have no hesitation in recommending in Ireland the establishment of universities on the same plan as the University of London, where no test was required of either teacher or student. He proposed to establish one such University in the south of Ireland—most pro bably at Cork—another in the west, either at Limerick or Galway, and another in the north, either at Lon donderry or Belfast, but most probably at Belfast. About 30,000/. each would be the sum required for building and fitting up those Universities, and about 6,0001. a-year ( ach for the annual endowment Each college would have ten or twelve professors, who wculd be allowed 30UL a year each; and both at Cori, and Belfast there would be medical schools, and amon; these twelve professors would be included the professors in anatomy, surgery, and chemistry. Considering that the endowment was to be made by the Crown, he pro posed that the professors in all the three college r should be nominated by the Crown, and that the Crown should have not only the power of nomi nating, but the power of removing, lon cause shoo n. The principals would reside in the college, but not either the professors or the students. The course of instruc tion would be given by lectures and daily examinations. The: e would be in none of these colleges endow mants for professors of theology by the Crown, but if private individuals chose to endow such professor ships, every facility would be given them for so doing, but the attendance upon such lectures would not be compulsory. The fundamental principle of the measure was the avoidance of all ir.terference, positive or negative, with the re ligious scruples of the people. It was the intention of the Government to continue to the four divinity professors of the academical institution in Bel fast, the endowment which they had enjoyed for the. last twenty years, and if the Bill should pass, he thought the institution would transfer their premises and library to the Government on easy terms, for the. purposes of the new Belfast university. The Crown would not feel bound in such a case to re-appoint the existing professors, but to those not re--appointed, it would award ample compensation. He had not finally determined, - but he thought it would be better that these colleges should be united into a central uni versity for the granting degrees, rather than that each should possess the power, and the central university should be in Dublin; but he did not at all intend to interfere with Trinity College as it at present existed. After paying a tribute to the high-minded and honour able course which had been pursued by Mr. WISE, the Member for Waterford, in reference to this question — of academical education in Ireland—the Right Hon. Baronet concluded by moving for leave to bring in the Bill. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. WYSE, Sir R. H. INGLIS, Mr. SHEIL, Sir R. PEEL, Mr. SHAW, and several other Hon. Members, when leave was given to bring in the Bill. The House then went into Committee of Supply, when 50,0004 were voted on account of the public ser vice, and, the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve. The Irish Academies' Bill, introduced by Sir JAMES GRAHAM last evening, appeared to meet with the general approbation of the House, and looking at the difficulty of establishing a system of education for young men of different religious persuasions, which shall not give offence to one party or another, we can see no objection whatever to the scheme. Schools, and academies, and universities are but iil adapted for teaching theology, and unless a Confession of Faith is laid down which every pupil must subscribe, the great object of such institutions would be defeated, and constant wrangles be carried on about particular dogmas in religion. If such a rule of faith is established, thwu only one sect can be benefited, and all the rest must trust, not only to their own means fur education, but also pay for the teaching of the favoured class. This is the case at Oxford and Cambridge ; and for that reason nearly one half of the community are op posed to these venerable institutions. Trinity College, Dublin, is founded on a much more liberal plan ; it partakes more of the progress of the age and less of the wisdom, or, more properly speaking, of the bigotry of our an cestors, and admits Roman Catholics to certain honours and preferments, and scholars professing the Catholic faith are eligible for a -considerable number of the pro fessorships. It is'wise, therefore, to leave that scat of learning as it is, at least fora time, and till the experiment proposed by the Government shall have had a fair trial. Nothing, however, can prevent its success but bigotry. The system has been long in existence in one of the most religious countries in the civilised world, and it has been found to work well. Irt the University of Edinburgh, fur instance, no religion whatever is taught. Catholics and Protestants, and Maho medans and Hindoos may assemble in the same class, enjoy alike the blessings of education, and aspire also to the highest degrees. Such an inter course tends to humanise the mind—it wears off the asperities of different sects encourages good will among pupils who had unfortunately been taught to hate and detest every religion but their own, and it often leads to friendships which last for life, and contribute largely to mutual happiness. 'I he man who can obstruct, from: selfish motives, such a system can have no claims to those cardinal virtues which raises the Christian faith above all others. Sir ROBERT l i Ilscrus, the representative of Oxford University, stood almost alone in opposition t o t h e Bill, an d denounced: it as a " gigantic scheme of godless education." He, of course, would have religion taught, but only the reli gion contained in the Thirty-nine Articles, and would thereby exclude from its operation all Catholics, all Jews, and all Dissenters — the very men who by some strange infatuation have leagued themselves with their bitterest enemy. The measure, we trust, will have no such opponent in Ireland, but be welcomed as another proof that the Government and the Imperial Parliament are resolved to persevere in the right course, and pave the way for full justice to that distracted country. When measures of such importance are under discussion, it is to be regretted that Mr. O'CONNELL and his colleague . . thaw to ALeravon, was wrecked oil the Skerwith Sands this . , morning.

A. Davies, Sir Denham Norreys, Sir John Rae Reid, and Mr. Hope Johnston, met this day, at twelve o'clock, in room No. 13, and proceeded to call further evidence on the part of the opponents of the NOTTINGHAM AND LINCOLN LINE. Mr. Henry }Jewell, principal agent of the Canal Company at Nottingham—The wharfs were exceedingly numerous on that por tion of the canal adjacent to the intended station, and he consi dered that the business of the canal could ty,t be efficiently carried out if the ground were absorbed by the construction of railway buildings. There was great inconvenience felt from the circum stance of the water-way under the bridges being so circumscribed that the boats could with difficulty pass, and it was intended to widen both the waterway and the towing path. The intended mode of crossing the canal by the railway company would be a most serious inconvenience to the persons using the canal, Cross-examined by Mr. WOLLASTON—The first inconvenience arising from the construction of the railway bridge, would be the narrowing of the canal; the second inconvenience because it would prevent boats from lying there after they had delivered their cargo. The intended bridge would be superior to the canal bridges already in existence. RAILWAY RETURNS.
