Nonang ... 46 minutes after 4i Evening ... 4 minut!s after 5 faiPelit riff, • 44.,44 mination to resist and defeat his machinations. Fore warned is forearmed." This recommendation of our Contemporary is nearly it not quite su erfluous, for who can doubt that the Irish Tories w 1 muster all their forces—combine all their energi s—and make every strenuous effort in their power t defeat a mea sure which has for its avowed object t e introduction into the sister country of a more enlarged and enlightened system of education ? Who, we say, can doubt, that they will thus act? Moreover, who can doubt that they will be defeated—signally defeated ? Sir ROBERT PEEL—the wariest of Ministers—would never have expressed himself, as he did last session, had he felt that he had any very dangerous opposition to encounter from Irish Toryism. He is one of those cautious characters who—to quote the words of the old adage—" always look before they leap," and never would he have taken his " leap," had he thought that it would have landed him in the midst of a bog or a quick -set hedge. In the " Money Articles" of all the London news papers it will be found that the very high price ob tained by Consols is a subject of astonishment to some, of congratulation to others. In the former feeling we should certainly participate, were it not for the very peculiar condition of circumstances which now affects the investment of capital. In the latter we should concur, did not our apprehensions for the future greatly outweigh any reasons we can discern for satisfaction with the present. Between the extravagant and perilous enterprises which are on all hands now soliciting investments, with pro mises of tempting returns, indeed, but these founded on bases of seeurity almost as flimsy and as worth less as the sheet of paper on which they are set forth—between these and the legitimate channels, as they are called, of the public securities, there are few left to choose from. The great established cor porate stocks of the elder public companies are seldom brought into the market, and, when they are, soon disappear, from the avidity with which they are sought after by capitalists who prefer, and can afford, a moderate, but certain and unfluctuating return for their money, to precarious dividends, ranging this week between an unit and a thousand— the next, descending from a thousand to an unit. The Government securities, from this cause, and others of the same nature, become in demand. The operations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in re ducing a large portion of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents., and the considerable sums of money thrown back on the hands of small annuitants, to whom many provincial banking establishments decline to allow the rate of interest they formerly paid on such deposits, on account of the increased liabilities they are placed under by the last Joint-Stock Banks' Re gulation Act, may have contributed their influence to produce this action in favour of one of the most favourite stocks, notwithstanding the obvious dis advantage at which the new funders must invest at such a price as 100 and a fraction. But what is the reason of a fact we learn from the concurrent autho rity of the same articles, namely, that, notwithstand ing a high price of Consols thus unfavourable to the general operation and object of present investments, and notwithstanding the release and diffusion of so many broken masses of money no longer employed, and, moreover, the enormous aggregate of ready capital procurable on Government paper and first rate bills at from two to two and a fraction per cent —discounts, on any other bills, however unexception able, are procurable only with the great degree of difficulty they speak of? Five per cent., and from half as much more to as much again, would be given, but these rates will not fetch out the dormant cash. Phis is surely an anomalous and a mischievous state of things. When it prevails, money accumulates to en enormous extent in a few hands, but is withheld from the many. The operations and energy of the many are more or less paralysed by the torpid action awl dead weight of the few. Property, in its repro .ented form, ceases to circulate, because the means of circulation are absorbed by a few isolated points of the general machine. To give multiplication and expansion to thee means would surely be the first ob ject of wise legislation. The legislation of Sir ROBERT PEEL establishes a more direct principle of absorp tion, contracts the number of points, puts additional checks on the circulation, and keeps down the natu ral tendency of representation and expansion by the Nigh-pressure power of a metallic currency, whiel•. ae greatly fear will one day involve in its credit, as it has already effectually sapped the foundations of our commercial prosperity. This fatal interference n•ifh our monetary system has proceeded ion the normal solecism of attempting to make gold at once a stand ad of value at a fixed price, whilst he ass permitted arid recognised the trade in that metal as a commodity or merchandise, subject, like any other, to all the flactuations of value in the market, which are produced by the varying amount of demand Ind supply. He compels the Bank of England, and ill other issuers of paper in this part of the kingdom, et) pay their notes on demand in gold, at the Mint price of 31. 17s. 100.—a price so cheap as to have repeatedly been, since the enactment of 1819, less than the price of gold of the same fineness in the market. All issuers of bank notes—the Bank of England " first and foremost" —have been compelled to limit their issues, not according to the simple re quisitions of the wants of trade, the exigencies of the demand, the amount of property of all kinds in the market awaiting conversion into money capital, but by the chances of their ability at any future period, proximate or distant, to procure gold in sufficient abundance to meet all notes of their issue which may be presented for payment. Had the principle of con vertibility been limited to gold "at the market price" —if the current payment, instead of being enforced at the fixed and almost universally cheap price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce. this grievous cause of currency contraction—of a heavy per centage loss to banks of issue —and of exhausting weakness, hazard, and decay, throughout the whole operation of our commercial system and our domestic economy —would have been, if not utterly extinguished, at least infinitely modi tied So as to be ioine of comparatively innoxious ef fect. tinder the system as it actually exists and works, the employer of industrial labour is as much acted on in an innumerable class of cases by this ex traneous pressure as the banker. To compensate him for the risk he runs of having to take up gold at pe riods when it is dear in the market, and the fluctua tion of prices he must meet when it is plentiful, he impinges on the wages of labour. He no longer gives a " fair day's wage for a fair day's labour" —that righteous equivalent which Lord Jome ItussErd. has so ably and so eloquently advocated. In what events these fearful anomalies of our monetary and social condition are pretty certain to determine, we shall en deavour to show in an early notice of the " First Re port of the Committee of the Society for the Emanci pation of Industry," and of the " Three Letters on the Scottish Currency Question," by " SCOTUS." To the former of these tracts we shall direct the especial attention of our readers. 17 - We have received Madrid papers of the 22d, but they contain no intelligence respecting the flight of Zuanerio, though it was believed that he would be able to make his escape, either into Portugal or France. The Chamber adopted several clauses of the Reform Bill, almost Without opposition. The Three per Cents. closed at 28i for cash, and 28 13-16 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 201 at 60 days. any maritime war the advantage will be with us if we have the United States on our side. Let us defend our commercial interests with firmness, but let us not confound our affairs with those of Great Britain in the question of Texas, or even in that of the tariff. Let us never forget that in every naval or continental war the English have been our enemies, and the Ame ricans our friends." The National writes in the same strain. " The questions," it says, " pending between the two coun tries will be solved in a sense unfavourable for our neighbours. The hope of seeing a moderated tariff granted to English manufactures, thereby increasing their market, will not counterbalance the uneasiness I excited in England, with regard to Texas and the Oregon. For ourselves, we have never had any other wish than to see the United States, under the empire of their institutions, increasing their prosperity at home, and drawing still closer the bonds of alliance with France, in conformity with the interests of the two nations; and, therefore, we hail with joy the ac cession of Mr. POLK." The Constitutionnel sees affairs in a very different light, and says the reduction of the tariff would be much more advantageous to England than to France, and it is not at all probable that the foreign policy of the Union will undergo any change. The Southern ates, determined on lowering the tariff, will de mand a reduction of the land and sea forces, and a state that disarms is not likely to provoke a war with England. In short, adds that journal, affairs will remain in the same state. Mr. Pouc is but the nominal chief of the Go vernment. It is Congress that governs. The Jour nal de Debats takes a gloomy view of the election, not at all warranted by circumstances : "If the last accounts from the United States are con firmed, the election of Mr. Polk is secured, and in that case we shall see the direction of public affairs, at a pe riod when it requires the most consummate experience, escape from the most capable hands to fall into those of a candidate chosen without reflection, of whom the best that can be said is, that he is of more than ordinary me diocrity. The result of this election will be to give the ascendancy to the Radical party, that is to say, to give it to a party whose very essence renders it unfit for the re establishment of order, and the consolidation of a society shaken to its very foundation. We must deplore this conclusion, not only on account of the confederacy of North America, but likewise for the sake of universal civilization, which is interested in the direction taken by a nation so highly placed." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : The France says :—"We can' announce from certain information that the projected marriage between Prince George of Cambridge and the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia is by no means abandoned." " MM. de Cormenin, Garnier-Pagaes, and de Lan juinais, arrived at Toledo on the 17th. They were pre sent at the religious ceremony of giving the benediction to the colours of the reserve battalion of Tarragona." The Journal de la Haye contains the following : " A Flemish journal published in Brussels, under the title of Vlaemsche Belgen, appears to doubt the truth of our assertion, that General Espartero was at Brussels when the English journals declared him to be ill in London. We maintain what we have already asserted on this subject. The ex-Regent passed eighteen hours in Brussels ; and we could, if necessary, name the house where he spent the night, and the persons whom he saw." The States of Denmark having, by a large majority, adopted a motion for a petition to the KING, as Duke of Holstein and Schleswig, praying him to incorporate those States with the kingdom of Denmark, several towns of the Duchy of Holstein, forming part of the Ger manic Confederation, have sent addresses to the States of Holstein, entreating them to resist this proposition.

Of the 114 kilometres (72 miles) comprised in this distance, there are 94 kilometres ready for the imme diate commencement of the ballasting and laying the rails. The remaining 20 kilometres are in an ahaost ..qual state of forwardness, except in the immediate vicinity of the city of Tours, where the earthwork is very light. The stupendous bridge over the Loire, at Mont Louis, had the last arch keyed-in in the presence of these gen tlemen. It is a noble structure of 12 arches, each 25 metres span (82 feet English), and is built with the beautiful stone of the country. It reflects the highest credit, as indeed do all the works on the line, upon the Government engineers, MM. Foulon and Moraudiere, upon the latter of whom, more especially, has devolved the direction of the lower part of the line. Not only the masonry, but the.earthwork also is com pleted, with the exquisite finish which characterises all the work of the French engineers. The embankments are constructed in successive layers of from half a metre (20 inches) to a metre in thickness, laid in from barrows or carts. The slopes are dressed off with the most care ful precision, and the cuttings are faced with stone pitching almest to the very top ! This mode of con. struction is much more expensive than is usual in our k:- .away works in this country ; but we are not quite sure that it is not cheaper in the end. At all events the Company, who have to;work and maintain the line, have abundant cause to rejoice at the carefulness and solidity of the construction throughout. After much deliberation and considerable difficulty with the department of Public Works, the joint station at Tours for this and the line to Nantes is definitively fixed to be at the very gates of the city, which will be an, immense convenience to the public, and no small advan tage to the city itself. The plans are approved, and the erection of the buildings will be commenced forthwith. The Company will have an independent station at Or leans also, communicating, if needs be, with that of the Paris and Orleans Company. The other stations will be commenced without delay, and have been defer-Q(1 hitherto only that the wishes of the Company might consulted as to the sites and general disposition of tilt, buildings. About 100,000 metres cube of coarse sand and gra% el, for ballast, extracted from the bed of the Loire, during the summer months, is already carted on the line ready for use, and excellent material is at hand for forming the bottom layer, to bed the sleepers on. We hope, probably in our next, to be able to announce the ratifi cation of a formal contract with Messrs. Mackenzie and Brassey, for the completion and stocking of the whole line to Bordeaux, leaving ?till a good margin on the capital of the Company. This would, indeed, be the crowning act of the prudence and good management that have characterised all the operations of this Com pany, if, in the face of seventy millions, estimated by the Government engineers as the requisite capital for completing and working this line, and of seventy-five millions, estimated by more than one of the competing Companies, the Directors can accomplish it for less than sixty-five millions of francs, of which their capital is composed, they will have earned the lasting gratitude of the shareholders. It will be a novel feature in the history of railways for the shareholders to have a guarantee, at least six years beforehand, that the capital is sufficient-- that there will be extra bills to be paid, and no loans raised or shares created to provide means of payment. We use the word "guarantee" advisedly, because the well-known wealth, as well as skill and experience, of the firm in question, can leave no doubt that they will accomplish, and in the least possible time too, whatever they undertake. It is confidently expected that the section to Tours will be opened in the month of August next year. THIS DAY'S NEWS _ - OTHERS. _ Their Lordships in this case gave judgment, remit ting the case to the Court of Sudder Adawlut. HOSANNA KIRABOOSE V. SERLE. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed to-day. The case came before their Lordships upon an appeal from an order made on the equity side of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Madras,;by which the Court on the petition of the respondent, the Registrar of the Supreme Court, obtained leave to file a bill as the next friend of, and on behalf of, the infant children of a person named Arathoon Kirakoose, an Armenian, who died intestate. I n consequence of this order a bill had been Sled in the Supreme Court at Madras against the present appellant, by the respondent, as the next friend of the infants ; anti from that decision the present ap peal was brought. The further arguments occupied their Lordships the whole day. CHARGE AGAINST THE GOVERNOR OF GUERNSEY. Their Lordships have specially appointed the 2d and 10th of next month for the hearing of the charges brought against the Governor of Guernsey by the inha bitants of that island. QUEEN'S BENCH. -(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a Middlesex Special Jury.) HILL V. STRATFORD. This was an action to recover the amount of a pro missory note, drawn by defendant, of which the plaintiff is holder ; and the defence was that the mote had not been given for a legal consideration, but for a gambling debt. The defendant, Mr. Hugh Stratford Stratford, is the young gentleman whose name has of late been so fre quently before the public in connexion with certain alleged gambling transactions, out of which the present action has arisen, and which have already formed the subject of trial before every metropolitan court of record, from the High Court of Chancery down to the Court of the Bankruptcy Commissioners. Various witnesses having deposed to the fact that it was a gambling transaction, the jury, without retiring, found a verdict for the de fendant. EXCHEQUER. —(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) GARDNER V. ALLEN. This was an action to recover compensation and damages for the alleged unlawful detention of a horse and cart. The case was of no interest whatever, except to the parties concerned.—Verdict for the defendant. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULS and Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, &c.) MANSLAUGHTER ON THE RIVER.—A young man, named Samuel Simms, was indicted for having, while in command of the Waterman steamer, No. 6, improperly run down a small boat, rowed by Edward Everett, a licensed Waterman, and containing four passengers, by which the said Edward Everett and another person were drowned. The body of the first-named person was af terwards found, and these proceedings were instituted in consequence. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Wilde were for the prosecu tion ; .Mr. Clarkson and Sir John Bayley for the de fence. Mr. BALLANTINE having stated the case to the jury, proceeded to call witnesses. John Fryar, a labourer, proved the finding of the body on the 22d November. Edward Everett, inspector of Thames Police, saw his father (the deceased) leave the stairs On the Rotherhithe side of the river. He bad with him four passengers. He was 66 years of age, and had for many years been a Waterman. There was no obstruction on the water then. The steamer was making her way across in the wake of the skiff. Her speed was seven or eight miles an hour. The proper rate in the pool is only five miles. Just before the occurrence the steamer had not in any way s'ackened her speed. John Savory, a seaman, was in the skiff with the de ceased on the 25th of October. He did see a person on the paddle box, of the steamer, Waterman No. 6, when she was coming up In their wake. Witness made a sign to draw off m ore into mid•chanuel, but it was unattended to. The deceased then pulled to the larboard side, in order to save his boat from being cut in two by the bow of the steamer. The paddles, however, caught her, and she was capsized. The steamer was going at the rate of ten miles an hour. She did not slacken her speed. John Taylor, another seaman, who was also in the skiff, gave similar evidence, as did two other witnesses. John Chambers, examined by Mr. CLARKSON--Is master of the schooner Ann, moored off the Tunnel pier. There was a strong eddy occasioned by the schooner, from the position in which she lay athwart the stream. Were it not for that eddy the small boat could have made the stairs easy enough. To a steamer coming up the river the eddy would not be perceptible. Be thought the cw---- , pl, of the steamer could not have avoided the arpi deli— By M LANTINE--He could not have avoided thy accident, from the position in which the steamer was a, the time I first saw them. There was no time for the steamer to have backed, as she was just in the act of striking the skiff. Richard Field, a waterman, ascribed the fatal occur- rence to the rate a t w hi c h t h e steamer was going. Mr. CLARKSON contended, that before the prisoner could be held accountable in such a ease as this he must be proved guilty of some personal act ; and he cited the law from Carrington arid Payne in support of his posi tion. Sir John Bayley followed on the same side. -Mr. Justice MAULE said that the whole evidence proved that the direction of the steamer at the time of the occurrence, and for some short time before, had been wholly under the control of the prisoner, and theref ore he thought that the cases c it e d b y the Learned Gentle man for the defence did not apply in the present instance. Mr. CLA.RKSON then addressed the jury. He regretted the decision to which his Lordship had just come, for, convinced as he was, of the prejudice that existed in the minds of the jury against the rate at which steamers were said to proceed upon the river, he would have had the matter rather dealt with as a matter of law than one of fact. The Learned Counsel then adverted to the facts, as sworn to by the different witnesses, and asserted that, under the circumstances of the case, the prisoner could not have otherwise acted. Witnesses were then called for the defence. The jury, not being able to agree upon a verdict, were - ocked up. NEW co(RT. (Before the RECORDER.) A DANGEROUS " SPREE." ----A respectable-looking young man, named Alexander Webb, was indicted for stealing a coat and waistcoat, the property of William Dickson, under the following circumstances : It appeared that the prosecutor and the prisoner had been drinking together during the whole of the evening, when, both parties being drunk, the former about twelve o'clock invited the prisoner home, upon reaching which the prisoner, as he alleged in his defence, for a " spree," put on the articles named in the indictment, with which he walked out of the door. Ile was, however, followed 'by some friends of the prosecutor, who gave him into custody. The Leerned RECORDER, in summing up, said it was entirely for the jury to decide whether the property was taken in a drunken frolic, or with a felonious intention. The jury, after a lengthened consultation, returned a verdict ,:f Not Guilty. The prisoner, who seemed to be deeply affected dur ing the trial, then walked from the bar. John Belton, a cab-driver, was indicted for stealing a coat and other articles, the property of John Donald, and Henry Belton , his brother, was i nd i cted for feloni ously receivi ng the same, well knowing them to be stolen. The evidence showed that the prisoner,:lienry Belton, had a coat very similar in appearance to that named in the indictment, and having been discharged from the prosecutor's service, he sent his brother for his clothes, and some other trifling articles, to the prosecutor's stables, when the coat was taken. The jury at once Acquitted the prisoner. Henry King and Richard Allen were indicted for stealing a quantity of metal, the property of James Wilson Edwards. The prisoners had been in the prosecutor's employ ment, and, taking advantage of the facilities thus afforded them, committed the theft. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court sentenced them to six months' imprisonment. Edward Warren, Philip Roberts, and George Bowers, were indicted for stealing one hogshead of sugar, the property of the London Dock Company. In another indictment the sugar was described as the property of Thomas Drake. The prisoner Warren pleaded guilty to the indictment. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Baldwin appeared for the pro secution, and Mr. Clarkson, with whom was Mr. Doane, defended the prisoners Roberts and Bowers. The facts of the case have been already fully laid be fore the public in our police reports. Evidence having been adduced at great length in sup port of the prosecution, Mr. CLARKS ON took 'a technical objection to the in dictment, which having been allowed by the Learned Recorder, The jury, by the direction of the Court, acquitted the prisoners Roberts and Bower. Edmund Warren was then placed at the bar forjudg meat, and sentenced to be transported for seven years. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT NOTTINGHAM, The inquest on the body of Dean was brought to a conclusion last evening, 'when the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against .the Nottingham Station-house-keeper." -- -------- OXFORD, soy. 29.—The Hebdomadal Board has received tho report of the committee on Mr. Ward',3 , publication, and are now engaged in devising some p ry . I tical measure of censure. It is not, however, anticipated i 1 that the tratter can be brought before the Convocation during the present term. The proposition of the Rev. i Mr. Bricknell's pamphlet for including the origo mall I, Tract 90 in an authoritative condemnation finds favour 1 in some quarters, and yet may be good on. I PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THISDAY.) The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to day in the Council Chamber, Whitehall. The Lords present were the Master of the Rolls, Lord Campbell, Mr. Baron Parke, the Judge of the Admiralty, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Sir E. East, Sir A. Johnston, and Sir E. Ryan. JUVEER BHAEE AND OTHERS V. VURITJ BHAEE AND 2,007 LATE ROBBERY AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND. EXAMINATION OF BURGESS AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. —(THIS DAY.) On the Lord Mayor taking his seat this morning, ' Burgess was placed at the bar, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, charged with fraudulently obtaining the trans fer of 8,0001. (Consols) on the 3d of September last, which sum was entered in the books of the Bank of England in the name of Mr. Oxenford. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the sum was paid to Jo seph Elder, the prisoner's accomplice in the transaction, who committed suicide at Boston soon after his arrest on the charge. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor, stated the charge against the prisoner, and that a warrant had been issued for his apprehension by the late Lord Mayor. He was prepared to go into the case, but as the prisoner only yesterday arrived from Boston, he (Mr. Froshfield) thought that the most advisable course would be to remand him. The prisoner, in a low tone of voice, said he wished to be remanded. Mr. Freshfield then called— Mr. Oxenford, who stated that the 8,000/, fraudulently obtained from the Bank of England, was his property, and that he never authorised any person to use his name, or to withdraw it. A clerk in the Bank deposed that the prisoner was a witness to the transfer of the stock. The LORD MAYOR then remanded the prisoner until Wednesday next. Burgess is a tall man, and appeared to feel acutely the position in which he was placed. He appeared to be lame, possibly from an accident which he met with while endeavouring to escape when pursued by the officers in Boston. UNION-HALL. -(THIS DAY.) Joseph Smith, a costermonger, was charged before Mr. Ccttingham, with being concerned with two others (not in custody) in committing a very daring highway robbery. Richard Walkinson, whose face was very much cut and bruised, stated, that he was mate of the Unicorn, brig, of Hull, and that on Saturday evening last he came ashore to spend an hour with a friend. On returning, as he wa s p ass i ng S t. George ' s Church in the Borough, he was accosted by a man with whom he entered into conversation, and who prevailed on him to go down Mint-street, to a public-house. They, however, had not proceeded many yards, when the stranger, and two other men, one of whom was the prisoner, rushed upon him, knocked him down, and in the struggle to recover him self, they set upon him, and beat him in the way he then appeared, and robbed him of his watch, which they tore away from the pocket, breaking the guard-chain by their violence, and then ran away, leaving him bleed ing in the street. lie was afterwards picked up by a policeman, to whom he gave a description of his as sailants, and the prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. The policeman said that from the description he also knew the other two men, who kept out of the way ever since, and that the prisoner was their constant associate The prisoner said that he got his living by selling things about the streets, and that he could prove he was at home on the night in question, and not engaged in the outrage. He, however, had no witnesses in attend ance to prove the fact, but if time was given he would do so. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that it was a most outrageous assault and robbery, and that he should remand the prisoner. MARYLEBONE VESTRY. (THIS DAY.) At the weekly meeting of the above vestry, the clerk read a paper to the vestry concerning a complaint made last week of a nuisance existing for some time in the neighbourhood of All Souls Church. It will be remem bered that on Saturday last a letter was read from the churchwardens, complaining of the obscene conduct carried on openly at a large house facing a new door which led to the gallery of the above church, the exist ence of which nuisance prevented many of the parish ioners from using that door, which would otherwise have been a great convenience to them. It was then decided that the vestry-clerk should b€ fl, sired to write to the rate-payers of that house, and make a report con cerning it to-day. It appears that a communication was made with Martha Willie, the occupier of the house in question, who admitted the nuisance, and made a pro mise that it should not be repeated.—The vestry was adjourned at twelve o'clock. FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, Nov. 27.—Prince Gallitzen haring visited everything curious and interesting at Brussels, set out yesterday for Paris. MALINES, Nov. 2 7..—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the ceremony of the benediction of the new bell of St. Rombant took place in the great square of this city with extraordinary magnificence and pomp—the bell receiving the name of " Salvator," which was also the name of the great bell which it was necessary to recast. The bene diction and baptism of the new great bell were performed by the Cardinal Archbishop of Malines, accompanied by a numerous body of the clergy, by the Metropolitan Chapter, and by more than 250 young men belonging to the seminary. Baron de Steenhault, Burgomaster of Malines, was godfather, and Madame de - Bort., widow, of a Burgo uno,ter or DialtheN, isuumotner. An An immense crowd was present at the ceremony. The fete was terminated by a splendid banquet given by the Cardinal Archbishop, in the Archiepiscopal Palace, to the ecclesiastical, civil, and military authorities.

Among the casualties incident to the working o mines and collieries, in this country, we regret to have to record this week, the loss of fifty lives, by the terrible agency of fire-damp, at the Cwm Avon Colliery, Neath, on Wednesday last. On account of the shattered state of the works, consequent on the explosion, and the noxious effluvia, only four bodies had on that day been taken out. Our information as to details, considering the distance we write from the fatal spot, cannot be copious ; but of the painful truth of this frightful catas trophe, there is, we regret to state, no room to doubt.— Monmouthshire Merlin of Friday.

The accounts, per Hib ern i a, relative to money matters state:—" Prices are now lower than they have been for at least fifteen years, and the currency of 1843 was nearer a specie standard than it has ever before been. So long as this standard is maintained, so long will prices remain as at present quoted. The production of our principal staples increases so fast that the supply must have an influence on prices, and reduce them from year to year; but this can be regulated according to the quantity produced, and a much greater uniformity will exist than during great fluctuations in the currency and a depreciation in the circulating medium. By keeping our circulating medium down to specie standard we check foreign importations more than a high tariff would, and the greater the similarity between the currency of this country and those of Europe, the more we are able to shut out their productions, and consume our own. An inflated currency annuls the tariff, as all foreign manu facturers require, to enable thorn to contend successfully with the protective features of our tariff, are high prices in our market."

The distrust and anxiety of the Irish Tories on the subject of the Educational Reforms which Sir R. PEEL has in view, and which, it is supposed, he will bring forward at an early period of the next session appears to be daily on the increase. What Adds to the perplexity and tribulation of this cross-grained party, is the fact that, with all their inquisitiveness. they can get no insight into the nature of the pro j.2cted reform in question, so have no pretext for or ganising an active, uncompromising opposition, for is impossible that they can oppose with any show o propriety a scheme with whose merits or demerits they are not merely imperfectly acquainted hut profoundly ignorant of. At present, al is mystery on the part of the official autho Ries. Not a word transpires in any quar ter. No communication has been made, even to tilt Education Board, so that nothing is left for the Tories but conjecture ; and as they are of a somewhat de sponding turn of mind, with the finest possible con ception of a party grievance, their conjectures are pretty sure to be of the most dismal character. The Dublin Evening Mail hastens to sound the tocsin of alarm by assuring them that it has every reason to believe that an active correspondence between the home-office and the Castle of Dublin, " touching the projected reconstruction of the Irish University," is now carrying on, and is daily surrounding Lord EEYTESBURY " with mare embarrassments than he was aware would fall to his lot on accepting the Lord- Lieutenancy of Ireland. The most mysterious si lence," adds our disquieted Contemporary, "is ob served in the diplomatic circle—a circumstance ‘iv hich argues badly for the justice and honesty of the design ; and great doubts are said to be entertained of the willingness of the Irish Executive either to recommend or adopt the proposed innova tion." This last remark is, of course, thrown in by way of comforting the afflicted Tories, as nurses give children a lump of sugar after having administered to them a dose of physic; but let not these bigoted par tisans imagine for an instant that there is the slightest foundation for our Contemporary's hypothesis. No thing is more unlikely than that the Irish Executive will refuse to adopt the Government reforms. The appointment of Lord HEYTESBURY is a guarantee that they will be adopted without hesitation. His Lord ship was sent over to Ireland about the time when Sir ROBERT PEEL made his important speech on the subject of national education in that country; and he would scarcely have accepted the office of Viceroy, unless he had fully made up his mind to carry out the educational reforms of the nature of which the Premier had just given an intimation. Lord HEYTESBURY, then, we repeat—despite " the great doubts " of the Dublin Evening Mail —will be found among the firmest supporters of Sir R. PEEL'S projected schernß, for, to say nothing of his official position, he is a practised politician, made circum spect, liberal, and sagacious by experience —the best of teachers —and must be well aware of the impera tive necessity that exists for instituting a prompt and searching reform into the system of education now in use in Ireland. Having administered his small mo dicum of consolation to the Irish Tories, our Dublin Contemporary next goes on to exhort them to be ac tively on the alert, so that they may be prepared to enter the field of opposition when the season for the political campaign arrives. "We cannot tell where the bl will be struck," he o b serves, " but forthat very re o a w - N son we recommend th e greater vigilance in the mom watching ent of the enemy, an d the greater deter.

It is understood that the Grand Duchess's accouchement may be expected early in January next. We understand that it was the particular wish of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge that their daughter should be confined in this country ; and it has been solely with that object in view that her Royal Highness an.d her Illustrious Consort have made so protracted a res i dence here. It is needless to remark that the Hereditary Grand Duke and his family cordially acceded to the natural desire of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. We hoar that, owing to the limited conveniences pos sessed at Cambridge House, the interesting event will not take place there ; and as her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester has offered apartments to her Royal niece at Gloucester House, it is most probable Dover has never been so full of company at this the G ran d Duchess will be confined at that residence. , season of the year as at the present time.
