To make any system of education, in these days, exclusive, is an utter absurdity. The united voice of the country is calling out for the abolition of tests, for more liberal institu tions than those established in the dark ages of intole rance, for an amalgamation, as far as education is concerned, of the youth of all parties, and for abolish ing those sectional religious differences which have inundated Christendom with blood, and rendered the followers' of the Great Founder of our faith object., of hatred and abomination to believers in every other creed. Yet, in the nineteenth century, it is seriously proposed to establish colleges, the great object of which is not to furnish useful instruction, to prepare young men for making themselves good members of society, and to wear off the rough and unseemly edges of reli gious dogmas, but to maintain the old worn-out, abro gated, and wicked system of the very worst periods of the Christian church. According to these doctors of divinity, a Roman Catholic University should be esta blished in the south of Ireland, a Presbyterian Univer sity in the north ; Trinity College is to remain as it is, half Protestant and half Catholic; the Universities of Ox ford and Cambridge are to be closed against all but the true believers in the Thirty-nine Articles and the Atha nasian Creed—even the Liberal men of Scotland, including the most celebrated teachers at the five universities, are not to have their own way, but must bar their college-gates against Catholics, Pro testant Episcopalians, Wesleyans, Independents, Ana baptists, and every other sect or shade of a sect, that does not give implicit credence to the Confession of Faith. The Irish Prelates must consider the Members of the Legislature, nay, the whole population who pay taxes, stark mad, if they believe for a momen: that such a dangerous scheme would be received on this side of St. George's Channel with any other feelings but those of determined resistance and unqualified reproba tion. If Catholic France will not give such a power to her own Church—if the all but una nimous voice of the Legislature, in which the Court of Louts PHILIPPE fully concurs, will support to their full extent the privileges of the Univer sity, and resist the grasping, insidious claims of the Church and the Society of Jesuits—what madness to suppose that Protestant England will be less jealous of a Roman Catholic hierarchy and of meddling priests ! Even in England national schools cannot be established on such principles, the small instruction afforded in factories must not be controlled by Protestant bishops. as the " strong" Go vernment found to its cost ; and the Universities of bigoted Scotland (we use the term supplied by Catho lics) are preparing the way for abolishing all religious tests, and admitting the best teachers without material restrictions. The clergy of that country had no fear for the morality or faith of the young men committed to their charge, and experience has, in the most triumphant manner, vindicated their generous and liberal confidence. Such a fact does the highest honour to the country, and shows that the people have realised one of the great principles, perhaps the greatest, of the Reformation, and adopt their faith, not from clergymen or the dictates of human wisdom, but learn the truth from that sacred volume which Scotland, by one unanimous shout, resolved should be opened for the conversion and edification of all. The Jesuits teach a different doe • trine, but that doctrine now is exploded by every Go vernment except the miserable, contemptible, and bigoted Council of Lucerne, where the Church, as it was in the dark ages, is still worshipped as the Goddess of Fortune. " —Sed to Nos facimus, Fortuna, Deam, cceloque locamus." The Catholic prelates must, therefore, not be dis 4p . pointed at the decision delivered by the Goverr men t last evening. The Bill cannot be materially altered, and if the Ministry pursue this wise course ',h e y w ill prevail. "Be just, and fear not." In resuming our observations on the irtech in which Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the other night, introduced his series of declaratory " resolutions" '.lonnected with the condition of the poor and the gene:al state of the coun try, we shall confine ourselves, to-day, to the serious exceptions we feel compelled to take as to the statements advanced by him with regard to the operation of certain specific causes on that condition of ~.ur industrial classes which the Noble Lord is so anxious to remedy. Among these causes, Lord JOHN RUSSELL assigns a foremost place to the measure of 1797, for restricting the Bank of England from cash payments ; and, in com menting ou the subsequent effects of that bold proceed ing, he contends that it was a measure of the most enor mous oppression and injustice ever inflicted on the industrial labour of the kingdom. He maintains that the wages of labour have never since been increased in proportion to the depreciated value of money consequent on the Restriction Act, and to the corresponding en hanced prices of commodities attendant on such depre ciation. He considers that, although the Act of 1819 for the alteration of the currency was intro duced by Sir ROBERT PEEL with no due regard to the consideration how far its adoption could then take place without too seriously prejudicing the various economic interacts of the empire, and though it did work, at first, very serious inconvenience and injury— to the industrial ty.:cl manufacturing classes more parti cularly—those evils have since disappeared, and their traces are now scarcely to be discerned. We really know not which of these several propositions to indicate as that which is most valuable, both as to the real facts of the case, and the arguments to be founded upon them. As to the Bank Restriction Act of 1797, we would respectfully submit to his Lordship that no man living cats now undertake to point out what alternative, what middle term there was between a national bankruptcy, and that, as we are pre pared to contend, most salutary expedient. If anybody had imagined, previously to the publication of the last volume of "Lord MaLmEsnuav's Memoirs and Corres pondence," that our Continental enemy was in no condi tion to take advantage of such a catastrophe to effect the downfal of our commercial system and the ruin of our political strength, by forcing the immediate paralysis of those productive energies of British capital, to whose unimpaired integrity, under the blessing of PROVIDENCE, and in a degree next only to the irresistible spirit and nationality of the people, the salvation of the empire has been owing—we could have allowed that he was fairly entitled to argue on any ease, however extensive, to which the illustration of the abstract principles of main taining to the letter every contract with the public credi tor, might lead him. So long as there was no practical and imminent peril of endangering the public credit, and precipitating the loss of our national independence at one of the most eventful crises in the history of all European States, we might allow that, even if the suspension of payments in gold were desirable on very many grounds of public interest, as well as convenience, it would have been unjust as well as impolitic to resort to it. But the dangers which hung over us, at the period in question, are no longer matters of hypothetical assumption. We have learned from the highest, as well as the most authentic sources of contemporary history, that they were not exaggerated by the fears of eminent statesmen of all Parties in this country at the time, and cannot tie now explained away. But when it is in vain to deny, that notwithstanding the temporary depreciation of the Bank of England's paper and the public securities, which a measure so novel and alarming at its first an nouncement produced for the credit not only speedily rallied, but enlarged and consolidated its own bases in a degree without precedent or parallel after the restriction of 1797, and maintained itself upon them throughout the war, increasing instead of diminishing its resources from its ccmmencement—when it is recol lected that the Bank of England itself, in the same in terval, has attained a height of unexampled prosperity, credit, influence, and power, which may be said to extend themselves throughout the entire world of commerce, we are at a loss to see how the measure by which alone its vitality was, or could have been preserved, can now be impugned. With its vitality the existence of British independence was then, in a manner, borne up. No men can more decidedly condemn this too intimate alliance between the great money power of private capitalists and the Government than we do ; but that was then the condition of things with which the Ministers of the day had to deal. But if the Bank Restriction Act was thus a measure of great state ne cessity, we can scarcely visit it with the severe reproach of having produced prejudicial effects on the state of our industrial community, from which they have never since recovered. But, as we have said, we are so far from considering that the industrial labourer, after the Bank Restriction Act, had to endure a pressure of diminished wages, from which he has never recovered, that we can prove that the 1 rate of wages between the commencement of the war in 1802, to its termination in 1814, and subsequently, down to the passing of the Currency Bill in 1819, rapidly ' rose to, and steadily maintained, a scale at which it covered not only the depreciation in the value of money, already alluded to, but the amount of indirect taxation which he had to pay. The difference since 1819, or at least since 1822-23, when the small bank-note circula tion of England and Wales was extinguished, has been this—that the prices of commodities being reduced to the gold, or natural standard, the sof his labourers which manufacturer a b ci a d ve itio r n epr t: en t te h d e wage has been unable to pend ing give e w th o a u t l d of his goods. It has been established ing the production the amount of indirect taxation they have to pay, that the labouring community pay no less than 16,000,000/. per annum of indirect taxes, which it was the interest of the Legi-lature in imposing them that the consumer, not the producer, should pay. The institu tion of a gold standard simply reduces prices to the same level they would reach in the most highly-taxed country of Europe ; the wages paid are small in pro portion to these gold prices , and the unfortu nate industrial labourer has to buy out of them, in the most heavily-taxed of countries, the highly taxed means of his subsistence. Is it in the face of such a state of things, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL will contend that the traces of the mischiefs — the inexcusable and irreparable mischiefs—produced by the crude monetary legislation of Sir ROBERT PEEL, have passed away ? But such an inconsistency does not surprise us. The support of that system, which is in itself a violation of all the first principles of political and commercial and fiscal consistency, cannot lead to any other results. Let us try this question by a single test. Sir ROBERT PEEL in 1819 (and again last year) attempted to justify his pernicious interference with the development and application of capital, by insisting that to permit the continuance of a paper currency was to encourage improvident trading, fraudulent speculation, &c., and that to give unity and extension to the gold or metallic system would be to consolidate commercial con fiderce and mercantile stability. We shall say nothing about the overweening confidence of that statesmanship which assumes that it can draw, without prejudice to this stability and this confidence, the arbitrary line of demarcation that separates at any time the limits at which legitimate commercial enterprise and spirit ter minate from those where unwarrantable spe culation begins. We shall not pause to inquire how these legislative attempts to limit even the pernicious activity of speculation can be compatible with that first principle of free-trade, which is identical with the perfect freedom of capital and of its employment. But if Sir R. PEEL'S monetary system were anything else but specious cheat and delusion, certain results must, ere now, have become matters of history and fact, which are not only not so, but of which all that is the converse of them is. Under the operation of a paper cur rency, from the Bank Restriction Act of 1797, till 1819 or 1820, legitimate trade should have declined;—gam bling speculation should have attained its height;—the mighty bubble of British commercial superiority should have burst; and 1819-20 should have found only a mass of wreck and ruin to gather up, in order to combine into a more substantial system calculated to work out a far more prosperous future in all these - respects to this empire. From 1819.20, under a purely metallic currency, combined with one only class of pe,per circula tion, convertible, on demand, into gold, at a previously fixed ascertained price, we should, in 1845, be in a condi tion of unrivalled national prosperity.. The control of the commerce of the world ought to lie in our hands. Ille gitimate speculation ought to 1 - .a.ve disappeared ; bank ruptcy to be comparatively u•Anown ; labour universally employed, and wages fairly remunerating labour. Now what is the fact against t) - ,e hypothesis ? Between 1797 and 1819-20, we had P:tmost engrossed the commerce of the world. We w ere superior in all its markets. We maintained for 13 years the most expensive and desolating war on the recor Asi of history, out of which we emerged triumphant. liar industrial community were, for the greater part o'i that interval, well employed, and wages comprised, saver and above their natural relation to the value of, labour, that equitable margin which allowed for the ce,thributions to taxes payable by those producers. Our, commercial failures and private bankruptcies bore &es—proportion to the amount they have attained between 1819 and 1845 ; and all the failures of banking houses were absolutely an insignificant aggregate by the side of the ruinous convulsions of 1825 alone, and again of 1838. 'Elioitmous private fortunes were acquired and diffused. There was not one element wanting to a condition of supreme pre-eminence in all that constitutes the political and commercial grandeur of nations. What have we encountered since 1819-20 ? The decay of many branches of our foreign trade ; the successful competition of foreigners in very many branches of our manufactures. Gambling speculations, txtensive and reckless, in equal proportion to the intolerable pressure of the screw put on by the currency legislation of Sir R. PEEL (which operates to prevent the realisation of prope)ty, under whatever exigencies, except at ruinous sacrifices, to meet the demand for its golden represen tative) have already shaken, and will frequently desolate the money market. The poor-rates show no symptom of permanent reduction. Vast masses of the labouring poor are pining in fruitless, hopeless solicitude for em ployment. The revenue can only be made to keep pace with the expenditure of the country by the imposition of new taxes on property and income. Where is the one tingle benefit which the country at large has de rived from the Premier's currency measures ? According to accounts from Lucerne, the Grand Council of the canton had ordered Dr. STEIGER to be placed in a dungeon of the Kissitcharm, 50 feet under ground, from an apprehension that au attempt would be made to rescue the unhappy prisoner. If these unfeeling despots were paid by METTERNICH to render republicanism not only contemptible but abhorred, they could not serve his purpose better. It is said that this deep politician denounces their cruel disposi tion, and refuses his sanction to the imprisonment of STEIGER for life. The Madrid journals of the 23d are chiefly filled with ac counts of the formal proceedings which took place at the pro rogation of the Cortes. The QUEEN closed the session in person, with the following speech:— " Senators and Deputies, " All the hopes which I had conceived in seeing you assembled round my throne at the opening of the present session have been fully realised. In the space of a few months, thanks to your praiseworthy perseverance and real, you have terminated a great number of important labours, which in other days would have been sufficient to have absorbed the whole time of the Cortes. Your first work has been the reform of the Constitution—a reform brought about after a wise and deliberate discussion, and which has been welcomed by the nation with that respect and confidence which it so well merits. To facilitate its execution, in establishing the necessary agreement with organic laws, you have authorised my Government in a competent manner, for recent experience had shown that it was not easy to do it by a shorter course. lam con fident that the laws passed by my Government, in virtue of the authorisation of the Cortes, will give no reason to repent the-con fidence reposed in it. I thank you sincerely for the liberality you have shown in your provision for my royal house, and for, all my august family, which has received so many testimonies of your fidelity and of your noble loyalty. ' • • " " Among the numerous and important laws which have ob tained your approbation, either to accomplish solemn treaties, or to improve different branches of the public service, the law relative to the provisional dotation of the clergy merits my particular atten tion, as well as the important measure of the restitution to the clergy of the property unsold. In this you have given a further proof of lour spirit of reparation in securing solemnly the inte rests and the rights created under the protecting shadow of the laws, which will never be disturbed at any period, or under any pretext. To put a glorious termination to your labours, you have examined with particular *are the budget of the State, and fixed the expenses required for the public service. My Ministers have .devoted themselves with zeal to this arduous duty, deeply con vinced that without establishing the order and harmony necessary between the finances and the different branches of the Govern ment, it would be impossible for the tranquillity and welfare of the country to be based on a solid and staple basis. " My Government greatly appreciates the value of the autho risation which you have given it for the regulation of the public debt. In a matter so delicate, it will have no other guide than the principles of equity and justice ; it will lighten as much as possible the charges which weigh on the State ; but it will, at the same time, abstain from taking any steps which may wound the honour or the interests of the nation Uniting in your discussions the most extended liberty to loyalty and honour, you have ren dered a signal service to the country, in giving strength to its in. stitutions at the same time that you have understood the neces sity of supporting the Government, by joining in the great work of the re-establishment of order and the salutary influence of the law, and in avoiding dangerous reactions. " Thanks to your conduct, not less skilful than prudent, my Government has been happily able to continue the work com menced, and the progress which is manifested in the nation is a presage of that happy futurity of which it is so deserving. If, with the help of Divine Providence, this hap[ prognostic, which is so agreeable to my heart is accomplished, th ccess will be in a great measure due to you, gentlemen, who at the com mencement of my reign, and at so decisive an epoch, loyally M. filled the mission confided to you by the nation." On the 23d, the Three per Cents. rose 1 4, per cent., closing at 33 cash, and 34 at 60 days ; 158 millions done. Five per Cents. 24, at 60 days, Passive Debt 8 cash. The discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies on the extraordinary estimates for Algeria was brought to a close on Thursday, and the amount proposed by the Government agreed to by a majority of 189 to 39. Attempts were made by several Members to cast blame on the Foreign Minister, as well as England, fur the failure of General DE LA. RUE'S negotiations with the Emperor of MOROCCO, but they com pletely failed. The Chamber listened to the speakers with the most provoking indifference, and seemed to approve of the following just rebuke administered to these disturbers of public peace by the Minister of the Interior, M. DUCHATEL: Let not those who protest their desire of preserving amicable relations with England as essential to the peace of the world affect to believe, in the face of irrefragable proof to the contrary, that our quarrels with Tunis and Morocco sprung from the commercial resentment and suspicious in trigue of England. If it was true, you ought to feel regret at being obliged to say so ; but when it is not so, it is not by casting seeds of discord between the two nations that you render a service to your country." Marshal SOULT replied in somewhat the same style to those who blamed the expedition against the Kabyles, and said though due attention had been paid to the opinion of the Committee who had pronounced the expedition unreasonable, imprudent, and impolitic, the Government still would con sider itself at liberty to reduce the Kabyles when it might think expedient. The Bill for the conversion of the Five LA per Cents. was b roug ht f orwar d i n th e Chamber of Peers, when protesting the against Finan Finance erep Minister, of took the first Ai opportunity e4v of AP IAGNE9 the Committee,• which described the ro d p pose measure as unjust.

He then ',proceeded to giveef i u na ndo nc z a bted right of, re specting Government loans, and the conditiona detailsone w h ich they were made, and contended that in no case could any sufficient grounds be discovered for contesting the right of the State to reimburse the national creditors, should such a course be deemed requisite. The ICING returned from Fon tainbleau to Neuilly on Wednesday. According to accounts entitled to credit, the French Court had received an official announcement that the Queen of ENGLAND would not visit France this season. The following are miscellaneous extractsfrom the papers : A letter from Warsaw announces the arrival of the Emperor of Russia in that city on the 10th instant. His Majesty intended, it was said, remaining there until the 25th, when he purposed proceeding on his tour of inspection through the other provinces of the empire. The same letter states that the Grand Duchess Helene and her daughters, the Grand Duchesses Marie and Cathe rine, had left Warsaw the previous day for Germany. A letter from Christiana_ (Norway) says:—" The Odelsthing (the principal section of the Storthing) has just adopted the follow ing resolutions respecting freedom of religion. All sects of Chris tians may freely exercise their own forms of worship. In mixed marriages, the education of the children shall be left to the will of the parents. In cases of conversion from one sect to another no other consequences shall ensue. It is expected that the Lagihing (another of the sections) will adopt these resolutions. There are four sects in Norway—the Roman Catholics, the Lutherans, the Episcopalians, and the Quakers." The following from Athens, 10th inst„ is given by the Augs. burgh Gazette :—" Derben Aga Hadji, Houssein of Roumelia, has had an interview on the frontier with Constantine Doukas, Go vernor of Lamia, 'for the purpose of exchanging assurances of a good understanding between the two countries. The two func tionaries visited each other's quarters, and parted with mutual expression of esteem."

ABDICATION OF DON CARLOS. We copy the following important documents relative to the affairs of Spain from the Times of Saturday : LETTER OF KING CHARLES V. (DON CARLOS) TO THE PRINCE OF THE ASTURIAS. " My most beloved Son, —Having determined to retire from po. litical affairs, I took the resolution of renouncing In your favour my rights to the Crown, and transmitting them to you. Conse quently, I place in your hands the act of my renunciation, which you may use when you deem it opportune. " I pray the Almighty to accord to you the good fortune to re. store peace and union to our unhappy country, and thus to secure the welfare of all Spaniards. " From this day I assume the title of Count de Molina, which it is my intention to bear hereafter. " CHARLES. " Bourges, the 18th of May, 1845." ABDICATION OF HIS MAJESTY CHARLES V. (DON CARLOS). " When Divine Providence called me to the throne of Spain at the death of my wWl.beloved brother and lord, King Ferdinand Vii., confiding to me the safety of the monarchy and the hap piness of Spaniards, I saw is my new position a sacred duty, and, penetrated with sentiments of Christian charity, and trusting in God, I devoted my existence to that painful task. On a foreign land as in the camp, in exile as at the head of my faithful sub.. Oct., and even in the solitude of captivity, the peace of the monarchy was my only wish, the object of my activity, and of my perseverance. Everywhere the welfare of Spain has been dear to me. I respected its rights. I did not feel any ambition tope pos. sessed cf power, and under such circumstances my conscience re mained tranquil. " The voice of that conscience and the advice of my friends ap. prise me at present, after so many efforts, attempts, and sufferings, supported without success, for the happiness of Spain, that Divine Providence does not reserve to me the power to accomplish the task with which I was charged, and that the moment has arrived to transmit-that task to him whom the decrees of Heaven invite, as they previciusly invited me. In renouncing at present for my person the rights to the crown which the death of my brother, King Ferdinand VII., accorded me—in transmitting these rights to my eldest son, Charles Louis, Prince of the Asturias, and in notifying this renunciation to the Spanish nation and Europe, by the only means of which I can dispose, I discharge a debt of con science, and I retire to pass the remainder of my days removed from every political occupation in domestic tranquillity, and with the .peace of a pure conscience, praying to God for the happiness and the glory of my dear country. " Bourges, May 18." " CHARLES. REPLY OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF THE ASTURIAS. "My well.beloved Father and Lord,—l have read with the most profound respect the letter with which your Majesty honoured me this day, and the act annexed to it. An obedient and submissive son, my duty is to conform to the sovereign will of your Majesty. I have in consequence the honour to lay at your feet the act of my acceptance. Following the good example your ►tajesty gives me, I assume from this day, and for as long as I shall deem it advisable, the title of Count of Montemolin. " Grant, Heaven, that my most ardent vows may be accom plished, and that your Majesty may enjoy every prosperity ever de manded for you by your most respectful son. *." llourges, May 18." " CHARLES LOUIS. ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRINCE OF THE ASTURIAS. " I took cognisance, with filial resignation, of the determination which the King, my august father and turd, made known to me to-day, and, in accepting the rights and duties which he freely transmits to me, I undertake a task which I will accomplish, God aiding, with the same' sentiments and the same devotion to the security of the monarchy and happiness of Spain. " Bourges, May 18, 1845." "CHARLES LOUIS. MANIFESTO OF THE PRINCE OF THE ASTURIAS. " Spaniards,—The new situation in which I am placed by the renunciation which my august father has designed to make in my favour of his rights to the Crown, imposes upon me the duty of addressing you. Do not believe, Spaniards, that I intend to cast amongst you a brand of discord. Sufficient blood and sufficient tears have been shed. My heart recoils at the sole recollection of past catastrophes, and shudders at the sole idea of their recurrence. " The events of the last years will, 110 doubt, have left prejudices against me in some =rids, and they perhaps suppose me animated with the desire of avenging old wounds. There is no room in my heart for such a sentiment. If, one day, Divine Providence throws open to me the gates of my country, I will know no party, and make no distinction between Spaniards. " During the different phases of the revolution there have been accomplished serious changes in the political and social organisa tion of Spain. There are some which I have assuredly deplored, as it became a Christian Prince and a Spaniard. They deceive themselves, however, who believe that I am so destitute of know ledge or the real position of affairs as to suppose that I wish to accomplish what is impossible. lam aware that the best mode of avoiding the return of revolutions is not obstinately to destroy all th - at has been constructed, and to reconstruct al► that has been destroyed. Justice without violence, reparation without re.action, a prurient and equitable compromise between all interests, by utiliz ing and turning to advantage so many good institutions bequeathed to us by our ancestors, without at the same time opposing the spirit of the age as far as those inspirations are salutary—such is my policy. family which originating at the conclusion -- - august uncle, Ferdinand VII. ' • A que o ti f on the i s attached reign G f to my m y (Q. S. G. G.), excited a civil war. I cannot forget what I owe to my personal dignity, nor sacrifice the interests of my august family. But I assure you from this moment, Spaniards, that it shall not depend on me if the dissension I deplore be not for ever extin. 1 guished. There is no sacrifice compatible with my honour and my conscience to which I am not disposed, in order to put a con clusion to civil discord and to hasten the reconciliation of the royal family. " I speak to you, Spaniards, candidly and from my heart. I desire to present myself amengst you with words of peace, and not with the war cry. It would be to me the subject of great grief, if I find myself ever obliged to deviate from that line of conduct. Under every circumstance I depend upon your correct sense of right, upon your love for the Royal Family, and on the assistance of Divine Providence. " If Heaven grants me the happiness of again treading the soil of my country, I wish only to be surrounded by your loyalty and your affection. Ido not wish to feel any desire in my heart but that of consecrating all my life in effacing even the recollection of past discords, and in cementing your union with 'general pros. perity and the happiness of all, which will not be difficult to me, if, as I expect, you will aid my ardent desires with the qualities which are stamped on your national character,—with the love and the respect you bear to the holy religion of our ancstors, and that magnanimity which has ever induced you to give your life when it became impossible to preserve it without disgrace. "Bourget, May 2... " CHARLES LOUIS." AMERICAN NEWF. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA The steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Ryrie, from Halifax and Boston, reached the Mersey at half-past one o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday. She brings letters and papers up to the 16th inst. _ _ The news, although it contains nothing official as re gards the Oregon question, is, on the whole, of a pacific character, and warrants the belief that the United States Government are friendly to the cultivation of peace, and that the President is anxious to settle the disputes be tween American and this country, without resorting to warlike operations. In that desire he is joined by the reasonable portion of all classes of his fellow-citizens. It is said that Mr. Calhoun will be sent over as a special ambassador to England to settle the Oregon question. Others assert that he has declined the office. The misunderstanding between Mexico and the United States was not settled, although the breach had not been widened. Privateers offered their services on be half of Mexico should they be wanted. _ _ Santa Anna's case has not been decided on, his libe ration was offered if he would submit to voluntary tran sportation fur ten years, an offer he will not be likely to refuse. The Montreal papers come down to a late date. They contain nothing of importance or interest. Canada was quiet, and the Provincial Parliament stood adjourned till the 19th of June. The annexation of Texas occupies a large portion of public attention in America. A prxlamation had been issued calling on the Texian Congress to assemble on the 16th of June to finally consider the question. There seems but little doubt that the Texans will accept the propositions of the Government of the United States and that the annexation will take place at the next meeting of Congress in December. Repeal has got a damper in Baltimore. The re peelers there have dissolved their association, owing to the abusive tirades of Mr. O'Connell against the Ame ricans ar.d their institutions. A great public horse race had taken place between two celebrated racers—one called 'Peyton, a southern horse, and Fashion, a mare from the south. Upwards of seventy thousand people went to witness the rational contest. Peytona was the winner. The following are extracts : (From the New York Express.) " In regard to the Oregon question, we are assured, by tho official organ at Washington, that the President of the United States, so far from desiring to put an end to present negotia tions, is anxious that they should go on. We further under stand also that negotiations have been resumed by the present Secretary of State just where they were closed by Mr. Calhoun. " The cooler portion of the American people are very ready to admit that the settlement of this Oregon question is attended with great difficulty. They who know the least of the merits of the question are the most noisy in stating the only terms of settlement. We apprehend that whenever the question is settled at all, it must be done with a disposition on the part of both governments not to claim what is not their own, or, if unhappily disagreeing as to their own rights, to submit the question fairly to the judgment of persons or parties, powers or ministers, representing the true interests of those governments. Everything depends upun the spirit and temper of the negotiators. We doubt not the desire for peace is as great among wise and patriotic men of England, as it is in the United States, among those who only would prefer war to dishonour. The best opinion here is that the question, with all its difficulties, may be amicably settled ; if not upon some new basis, still upon those before offered and declined."

The Treaty for the Suppression of the Slave-trade between France and Great Britain has just been concluded. This treaty has in view a triple ob ject—the suppression of the slave-trade, the re moval of a source of bickering and of danger be tween the two great contracting powers, and by the removal of that source of danger, added to an ennobling alliance in a holy cause, a third and greater object, that of cementing peace and friendship between two coun tries, whose good understanding secures the peace of the world, the progress of civilisation, and the spread of hu manity everywhere. The following is the treaty : His Majesty, the King of the French, and her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Considering that the Convention of 30th Nov., 1831, and 22d March, 1833, have attained their object in preventing the slave-trade under French and English flags; but that this odious traffic yet subsists, and that the said Conventions are insufficient to assure its complete suppression. His Majesty the King of the French having testified his de sire to adopt more e ffi cacious measures, and her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain having equally at heart to concur in this design. They have resolved to conclude a new Convention which shall be substituted in the place and stead of said Conventions of 183 l and 1833. . And to this effect have named (here names) who after hav ing exchanged full powers, have agreed upon the following articles : ARTICLE I. ffn order that the flag of his Majesty the King of the French, and of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, may not be usurped contrary to the right of nations, and to the laws of the two countries to cover the slave-trade ; and in order to provide; more efficaciously for the suppression of this traffic— . His Majesty the King of the French engages to establish within the shortest possible period upon the western coast of Africa, from the Green Cape ( Cape Vert) to the 16 deg. 30 min. of meridianal latitude, a naval force, composed at least of '26 cruisers, as well sailing as steam tont a voile qu' a vapeur.) And her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain engages to establish, with the shortest possible delay, upon the same part of the coast of Africa, a force composed of at the least 26 cruisers, steam and sail, and upon the western coast of Africa a sufficient number of cruisers to suppress efficiently the slave trade. Which cruisers shall be employed for the purpose above indi cated, conformably to the following dispositions:— ARTICLE 11. The said French and English naval forces shall act in con cert for the suppression of the slave-trade. They shall commence their operations by establishing an ex act surveillance upon all the part of the Western Coast of Africa comprised in the first Article; in particular upon all he points where the slave-trade is earrii , d on; They shall, with this view, exercise fully and completely al the powers of which the Crown of France and that of England are now in possession, except the restriction introduced by this present Convention, so far as regards French and English ships. ARTICLE 111. The officers in the service of his Majesty the King of the French, and the officers of her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, who shall be respectively charged vviih the com mand of the squadron destined to assure the execution► of the present Convention, shall agree upon the best means of exercising the said surveillance in choosing and designating the places of station, and in confiding these posts to cruisers of the two nations acting together or sepa rately, according as it shall be judged convenient (convenable). In such wise, nevertheless, that in the case when one of those posts shall be exclusiveiy confided to the cruisers of these na tions, the cruisers of other nations may come there at all times to exercise the rights which be'ong to them. ARTICLE IV. Treaties for the suppression of the slave-trade will be ne gotiated with all the native princes and chiefs of the above named coast of Africa, according as it shall appear necessary to the commanders of the French and English stations. These treaties will be negotiated either by commanders them selves, or by officers to whom they will give instructions to this effect. ARTICLE V. The treaties above-mentioned shall not have any other ob ject than the repression of the slave-trade. if one of the said treaties be concluded separately, by an officer of the British Marine, the choice (fac , ,lte) of acceding to it shall be re served to his Majesty the King of the French, the same choice shall be reserved to her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain in all the treaties which shall be concluded by an officer of the French marine. In this case, where his Alajesty the King of the French and her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain will both become parties in the conclusion of said treaties, the requisite expenses for presents and similar costs shall be supported by both nations. ARTICLE VI. In case where for the execution of said treaties and con formity to the law of nations, the employment of force by land or by sea shall become necessary, neither of the contracting parties shall have recourse thereto without the consent and con currence of the o her. ARTICLE VII. The moment the squadron of his Majesty the King of the French shall be ready to commence operations upon the coast of Africa, the King of the French will notify it to the Queen of Great Britain, and the two contracting parties will make known by a public declaration that the present Convention is upon the point of being put into execution. The said declaration will be expedited whenever it will be necessary (on besoin sera). In the three following months the right of mutual search established by the conventions of 1831 and 1633, shall cease to be exercised, and the Commissioners' mandates delivered to the cruisers of both nations shall respectively be retained restigues. ARTICLE VIII. Seeing that experience has proved that the slave-trade in those parts where it is habitually exercised isoften accompanied by deeds of a dangerous nature, for the tranquillity of the seas and the safety of the flag, and, considering at the same time that if the flag borne by a ship is prima facie the sign of nationality of the ship, this presumption will not be regarded as sufficient to prevent in all cases proceeding to its verification, otherwise it would expose all flags to dishonouring abuses in making them serve to cover piracy, the slave-trade, and all other illicit traffic In order to prevent all difficulty in the execution of the present Convention, it is un,lerstood that instructions, founded upon the law of nations, and upon the constant practice of maritime powers, shall be addressed to the commanders of squadrons and cruisers upon the coast of Africa. The two Governments have, in consequence, clmmunieated to each other the text of the said instructions, which are annexed to the present Convention. ARTICLE IX. His Majesty the King of the French and her 4‘lajesty the Queen of Great Britain engage themselves reciprocally to in terdict all slave-trade in the colonies that they possess, or shall in future possess, and to prevent by all means in their power their subjects from using their flag for carrying on the slave trade with foreign nations, or to engage in any way in the said slave-trade. ARTICLE X. Six months after the declaration mentioned in Art. 7, the present Convention shall enter upon course of execution. It is concluded for ten years. The anterior Convention shall be suspended. In the course of the fifth year, the high . contracting Powers shall concert anew, and will decide according to circumstances, if it be suitable, either to put again in execution all or part of such conventions; whether to modify or abrogate all or part of the new con vention. At the end of the tenth year, if the Anterior Conventions have not been again put in execution, they shall be considered as abrogated (a la fin de la dixiesie annee si les convocations anterieures n'ont pas ite remises en vigeur elles seront consideres co mma abrogaes). The two high co n tracting parties engag e . besides to continue an understanding for assuring the suppression of the slave-trade by all such means as shall appear to them the most useful and efficacious, until the moment when this traffic shall have been completely abolished.

SIR--Dr. Curie has at length found leisure to reply to the extraordinary conduct of the jury and their Coroner, Mr. Wakley, on the case of the late Mr. Cord well ; his pamphlet is really deserving of further atten tion; it is neither long nor tedious, and it is written in good temper. He does not conde:cend to be angry, even with the Coroner. It appears to be " a round, un varnished tale," in which nothing is extenuated, nor " aught set down in mike." All those who, from the misrepresentation of the Times' correspondent, may h we allowed' their 'confidence to be shaken, will do well to read this clever book, and I think, after doing so, they will arrive at the conclusion to which I have come— that the science of homoeopathy must ploy ess against all the prejudice that has been industriously put forward by the medical profession. It needs only to be inure gene rally known, and when it is, I conscientiously believe our medical friends the Allopathists will be found in plentiful scarcity. and calomel, blue pill, black draught, and bleeiiv, will be placed for ever in the tomb of all the Capulets. FAIR PLAY. Dr. Curie's introductory remarks are as follow : A few weeks back public attention was aroused by the report of an inquest on a Mr. Henry Cordwell, headed " The Homoeopathic System : " beyond this heading there was nothing in the report which had any bearing; whatever upon hoinceopatl:y, since although the de ceased gentleman had been under my care until the three or four days preceding his death, and had been treated by me according to the homoeopathic system, the propriety of that treatment was not in the slightest de gree called in question. Mr. Cordwell's case. however, was one of that class which call not only for nied!ca/ treatment, but also for the exercise of the strictest care on the part of the i professional adviser, with regard to dietic and hygeic rules ; and, the course which I had adopted in this latter respect having been brought out in evidence, the jury unanimously resolved that it was such as to awaken the strongest feelings of indignation and disgust"— expressions with which Mr. Wak ley, the coroner, himself a medical man, took occa sion emphatically to state his cordial " concurrence. This being aimed at an homceopathic practitioner, appeared, no doubt, to the enemies of homoeopathy, amongst whom Mr. \Vakley has long been most prominent, capable of being repre sented as a severe blow against that system ; and hence the wide use that has been made of it. No one, however, except through ignorance, could adopt this view; because homcco pathy is simply a system of medicine, and stand 9 as much as any other system of medicine independent of any dietetic rules which its practitioners may adopt. It will thus be seen that. the exp - :essions of the jury must be regarded simply as directed against the dietetic rules which I presribed in Mr. Cordwell's case; and I think it right, therefore, to lay that case fully before the public, in order that a judgment may be formed of their propriety. At the same time it may be mentioned, that I take this step without admitting it can properly be required of me ; because I conceive that a medical practitioner ought not to suffer prejudice in the eyes of the public, by any expression of opinion which unqualified persons may put forth regarding his prescriptions and orders in any given case, when such persons have wholly neglected either to inquire of the prat , tioner himself the reasons upon which he grounded his orders, or to call in evidence from other medical men as to whether those orders could be shown to be necessarily injuri ous and incorrect. Dr. Currie then proceeds to relate the case of Mr. Henry Cordwell, aged 29, affected with plithisis and chronic affec tion of the stomach and intestines. He commences as lel- lows : Mr. Cordwell first consulted me on the 19th of October, 1844. I had never seen him before. He was of a nervous temperament, anxious and irritable. He stated that he had never known sound health. After giving a detail of the various diseases under which Mr. C. had suffered, proceeds—during the long period of his ill-health he had placed himself under several practitioners, but he was unable to give details of their respective treatment. lie re marked, however , that he had taken a great deal of med icine ; and that, finding himself dai'y getting worse instead of better, he had recourse to hydropathy, from which, not finding the hoped-for relief, he came as a last resource to consult we with the view of being treated ho mawpathic ally. Dr. Currie then goes at great length into the history of his treatment of the case, and of the attack of hemor rhage from the bowels. It appears that the last day Dr Curie saw his patient was on the 2d of March, and the following is his history of the transactions of that day :- 2d March —This morning the patient was found in a much more satisfactory state. As soon as I entered the room he said, " Doctor, I have not fainted since you left me." The pulse was stronger, about 75, and the face less pallid, denot ing a much better condition. He had slept a little during the night. The beef tea had not yet been given, on account of a little oozing of blood from the anus. Lachesis was to be continued at longer intervals. I or dered the patient to be cleaned without his being moved, and I recommended rest of the strictest kind, and that no visitor should disturb him. The beef tea was to be given as soon as the bleeding bad entirely ceased. The patient aske i me what time I should return. I promised to see him in the course of the evening. When I again called, I found at the door a note informing me that the 'nest intimate friends of the patient had taken upon themselves to call in other advice. Thus ended my attendance on the case, and I heard no more of it until I was informed by some friends that they had seen in the newspaper that Mr. Cordwell's death had taken place three or four days after my dismissal. To my surprise, however, on the evening of the 10th of March I received a summons to attend a Coroner's inquest in relation to it. At the inquest, it appears that Mr. Wakley said there was no charge made against Dr. Curie by the medical men who had been examined, and therefore he should advise that gentle. man to be be silent. Dr. Curie said, "as no charge had been made, he certainly had no desire to trouble the Court with any remarks." The Doctor then continues—After this the jury delivered their verdict (involving certainly not a tangible charge, but a condemnation which could only have been fairly put forth it a charge had been made and proved) when Mr. Wakley remarked, with considerable emphasis. " If I were a juror, I have no hesitation in saying that I should most cordially agree with the observations just read " From these reports it will be seen that the jury and Mr. Wakley, the medical coroner, did not enter into any inquiry regarding the circumstances which induced me to order the abstinence, but based their expressions of "indignation and disgust" solely on the fact that ten days' fast had been or dered. If these expressions had conic merely from the jury (although the injustice of using them against a practi tioner without first asking him for an explanation must in any case have been apparent), they would not perhaps have been wondered at, because, to persons altogether ignorant of the details of medical science, ten days naturally seem a serious period for any one to be kept without food ; but that a medical man should have fallen into the error of supposing this to be an unexampled and necessarily an undue abstinence cannot fail to excite the strongest feeling of surprise. It is well known that abstinence for a much longer period is often essential. Andra!, in his great work "La Clinique Medi cale," quotes a number of cases of fever in which the total abstinence varied from a few days to several weeks. The Doctor then quotes a list of well-authenticated cases, in which total abstinence from nourishment had been enforced for a much longer period than it had been in the case of Mr. Cordwell, and in which the patients had recovered, in all probability, in consequence of such abstinence. He thus concludes—. These authorities would seem amply sufficient to justify a practitioner in enforcing strict abstinence in cases where it ' appears to his judgment to be necessary ; and notwithstanding t:'e new authority arrayed against them in the person of Mr. u, akley, supported by an unprofessional jury, 1 believe they w it,' still be received with deference. tr,he Doctor then relates several caseate of abstinence, . from. his own practice, in which the grst benefit ap _ —_.--.---_e--------""eee---_ pears to have been (.'erivt d frem the practice. The°. cases. es eontri betiene to the science of medicine, are v. ry valuable, fession and of the public. • , and well worthy the attention of the pare following is from his summing up of the case:-- From what has beets now laid before them the public w ill be able to trace the strict propriety or the treatment I adopted in Mr. Cordwell'e case. . They Will perceive that the post-/no-tem examination confimed, to the minutest_ point, my o riginal diagnosis, and that the withholding of l was nat ,Illy in conformity with the highest authorities, hut z ,ho with my own abundant experience in similar OZ. At the same time I may assert that no practitioner, n•i" the exception perhaps of Mr. Waltley, will veoture to. sinuate that the haemorrhage in this case was produced by abstinence, because such an effect would be totally againtr, which all ex perience. It is well known that towards the subsy: deuce of fever accidents of that kind are especially to .1 dreaded, and that what chiefly renders caution so.essenttas in returning to f ,od and to - the general exercise- of the ordinary functions is the danger of producing them' The necessity of avoiding every source of general este citement at that time is particularly insisted en 1 1 all medical writere, because just before the Per i° of convalescence the whole - powers of the systein are at their lowest point, and the various tissues et . t n e _ parts principally affected are liable to give way under tli: slightest increased action. Hence it is that these author most strenuously enforce the removal of all disturbing c:fi!els.r. and urge in a way which shows their sense of its critic 1 t v a e. portance, the mostguarded course even as to the slightest mo t _ te. meats. That a haemorrhage in a person so especially accident as was Mr. Cordwell, would prove at this satdag ahnost an inevitable result of a fit of " pessien'', will be r ' t t he understood; and there is every reason to suppose Oa , c 5.. irritation to which he was exposed may have beenw.loi la siderable, when we look at the disturbing influences by . 1 ,.... C _ A he was surrounded. That the presence of undigested4ue"'p would have rendered the system better able to be 4 against this irritation will hardly be asserted. t d That the appetite had not returned' up to the perata, of . the haemorrhage was abundantly shown, and ill . w as liable to h e dition to other proofs, the tact that the patients _..n., thoroughly satisfied with my attendance ma tentedel. cuupon elusive. No starving man looks with a con e3,F_ceai the person under whose orders the starvation is e , nteL eu a and although the expression, " Does it not relish?' s w ee n ot to spoonful or two of beef-tea was given to him, ra ° Y e t hreif show that food was needed, the fact that the patientt. a . the it up all again „ will afford conclusive evidence that relish was the relish of taste and not of natural appe,ti'oagy, Although the verdict of the jury was thus, en"raneo reckless and unjust, I feel that it was the result of ign i. c ;, o d (and I use this word not offensively, but merely a :3 At it , their fitness to dogmatise in medical cases), on feeling o. wakey , th_a t o f WI was not in the slightest degree based on ellY ie tbe. personal altermaligy.

It will be observed from the repel-00ot elforeing Post, that at the conclusion of the ea1,.. 9 . he &sir' the witnesses, Dr. Epps kindly suggested that I ring'lul'io. tr eat; ous of explaining to the jury the reasons by "h i ' rely, that natural that 1 coe is ment had been dictated ; that Mr. Wakley said In d ;,eedt ° l no charge had been made against me, COd that be IL A ; I lse' therefore to say nothing ; and that I then conterue" courses 'was a' . o ry by observin • g that as no chargehadbeen made, the i d perfectly satisfied.
