The numerous railways in progress from the north, west, and east of Ireland, meeting atlArmagh, and those from the south, east, and west, meeting at Limerick, evidently require a direct union with junction branches to Enniskillen, &c., to complete railway com munication between the north and south of Ireland. This is the important object of the Limerick and Belfast Direct Uni.in Railway, Prospectuses will be ready, and the names of a highly influential committee advertised in a few days.

E U O ' l l , * orr . •-• tenins anit LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1845. The House of Lords met at Five. The Marquis of NonmesßY:drew their Lordships' at tention to the fact that the Bishop of LoNbox, who had signed the protest against the third reading of the May nooth Bill, had not been present at the time the question on the third reading of the Bill had been put. The Bishop of LONDON apologised for his inadvert ence, and withdrew his name from the protest. Lord STANLEY refused to accede to the request of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY to postpone the second read ing of the Landlords and Tenants (Ireland) Bill. In answer to the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Earl of DALHOUSIE explained the practice of the Board of Trade, with regard to reports of accidents on railways. The Small Debts Bill was read a second time, after a short discussion. The Duke of RICHMOND, at the request of several Noble Lords, postponed the Scotch Toll•bar Bill, until Friday. The Charitable Trusts Bill passed through Committee. The Earl of RIPON moved the second reading of the Scotch Banking Bill. The Earl of RADNOR considered the Bill as an unne cessary interference with the system of banking in Scotland. The House was subsequently addressed by Lord KINNAIRD and the Earl of DALHOUSIE, and the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four. The second reading of the Scottish University Bill was postponed to Wednesday, 9th of July, I Sir G.,CLERK stared that Gen. PABLEY had reported that the late accident on the Great Western Railway had occurred through the too great elasticity of the rails, combined with the fact that the luggage van had been a light van, with only four wheels instead of six; that those defects had been remedied, and that there was no chance of a similar accident occurring. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY then explained the cause of the loss of the Common Law Process Bills. He had washed his hands of the Bills, and they had been com mitted to the charge of the Hon. Member for Ciren cester. With regard to the charge which had been made against him of yielding to the dictation of Mr. O'CoN NELL, he would say that he never had, and that he never would, as a Member of Parliament, yield to the dictation of any one. Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to Mr. S. CRAWFORD, said it was not his intention to press the Law of Settle ment Bill this session, but as there was no objection to that part of it which related to the law of removal, he hoped that that part of it might be permitted to be read a second time. On the motion that the House do resolve itself into Committee on the Academical Education (Ireland) Bill, after a few preliminary observations from Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord MaitoN moved that it be an instruction to the Committee that provision be made for the religious in struction of the pupils from lecture-fees, until such time as provision should be made for such instruction by pri vate benefactions. Mr. WYsE seconded the motion. The House was then addressed by Mr. J. O'CoNNELL, Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr. ESCOTT, Mr. COLQUHOUN, Sir R. PEEL, and Mr. ()Corr NELL, after which a division took place, and the propo sition of Lord MAHON was negatived by a majority of 140. If anything mere wanting to show the absurdity of appointing theological professors in the colleges about to be established in Ireland, that defect was sup plied by the speeches in the Commons last night. The advocates for what is called " Godly education," have some vague idea that learning is useless unless religion, or rather peculiar dogmas of certain sects, be inculcated at the same time ; but not one of the speakers could point out any feasible plan for the accomplishment of such a purpose in classes consisting of Catholics, Pro testant Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Wesleyans, and many others which it is needless to enumerate. We certainly expected something from Mr. O'CONNELL to remove the difficulty. He had made long and violent speeches in Ireland against the " gigantic scheme of Godless education," concurring almost to the letter with Sir ROBERT IsioLis in his de nunciation of the Ministerial plan; but when he comes to England, and is expected to rise in his place in the House of Commons, and make good his accusations—when we expect to hear the two Arcadians, the Catholic and the Protestant, sing together the same strains, and abso lutely annihilate the wicked scheme, and with it the god less Ministry by their harmonious music—woful is the disappointment. They fall foul of each other at the first onset, and get up a very nice quarrel about one GALILEO, who lived some hundred years ago, and forget, in the heat of the argument, the very feature of the Bill to which they had raised insur mountable objections. This is a forerunner of what might be expected in a college where half a score of religions are to be taught. While professing to seek truth—" in academia quterere verum"—they would seek only religious qaarrels, and these new schools, instituted for taming the savage mind and in structing youth in the great principles of science and moral philosophy, would become arenas for re ligious battles, and be speedily destroyed by the bigoted combatants. When Mr. O'CONNELL condescended to allude to his objections, he did it in the most cursory and contradictory manner. " I believe," said he, " the English people will not sanc tion the Godless scheme," but does Mr. O'CONNELL ima gine for a moment that they would sanction his scheme ? Has the furious outcry raised against Maynooth not con vinced him of the fact ? Would English Protestants, and above all, English Dissenters, submit to be taxed for teaching a religion which the more active party among them call " idolatrous and damnable ?" And does he really believe that he can convince these refrac tory religioni s t s o f t h e necessity of such a clause in the Bill,:by telling them that the Catholic prelates insist upon it, and that they consider the educational scheme of the Government as dangerous to faith and morality ? On the contrary, he lays before the English public the very strongest objection to the measure, and he knows, or he ought to know, that if Sir R. PEEL had propqsed any thing of the kind as a continuation to the Maynooth Bill, he and his party would absolutely have been overwhelmed buried alive with petitions from all parts of the country. Lord MAHON'S scheme is equally preposterous. That Noble Lord proposed that there should be two theolo gical professors in each of the colleges in the Catholic parts of Ireland, and only one—a Presbyterian—for the province of Ulster. But there are vast num-, bers of Catholics in Ulster. Are their souls to go for nothing ? Are their faith and morality to be undermined to please the fantasies of half-fledged Senators ? Does Lord MAHON believe for a moment that the English T eople would agree to his scheme for the south and west, or the Catholic prelates sanction it in Ulster ? Never was there such a wild, unmeaning rage as this about religious education in universities. In the universities of England religion is made a party badge, not a principle of morals or of faith, and in Scotland no religion whatever is taught. And we ask Mr. O'CONNELL whence is all this new zeal, this new dread for the existence of a faith which he and his friends, the Catholic prelates, believe to be from above and eternal ? We are old enough to remember the time when no such fears existed, when shoals of Irish Catholic students flocked to Edin burgh and Glasgow, listened with filial piety to the lectures, and witnessed the demonstrations of such heretics as MUNRO and CULLEN, and HOPE and GREGORY, yet they returned as good Catholics as ever, and helped not a little to dissemi nate knowledge, civilization, and the arts of peace among their more rude countrymen. There is another cause besides religion for objecting to this amalgamation of young men, and Mr. O'CONNELL makes no secret of it. He will have no communion with the Saxon race—he will rear up a people that abjure the very name, and establish Ireland as a separate State,and entirely detached from Great Britain, because she is now able to act for herself. These are all the very best ar guments that could be urged in favour of this " gigantic scheme of Godless educatior." We have on more than one occasion received com plaints as to the slovenly mode in which the business of the South-Western Railway is conducted. Indeed we have been ourselves painful witnesses of its extreme irre gularity as to time, and not unfrequently as to the indif ference of parties who ought to be more civil than common. Surely this is not the way to conciliate public esteem and promote the interests not of the Com pany alone, but of the shareholders at large. Where rests the fault Y It cannot be with the Directors, for they are often not personally present. But we do think that it is the duty of men who take a responsibility on themselves, to see that what they have undertaken to perform should be done, if not by themselves, at least by com petent deputies. Who regulates the hours of departure and arrival on the South-Western ? And if they engage to convey passengers from point to point in a given time, why do they not perform the contract ? Are they independent of public opinion for non-per formance of their duty, merely because they fancy individuals cannot cope with a strong Com pany, having a monopoly of the road ? If they indulge in such delusion, we would warn them not to rely too much or too long on such presumption. With the public, as with individuals, time is money ; and if the South- Western take pay for not performing their engagements, they not only wrongfully take the people's money, but their time also. In another column will be found a short letter complaining of a delay of three-quarters of an hour in performing a journey of only seventy-eight miles, at a time of day the most important to com mercial men ! Surely the Directors cannot be cognisant of these grievances, and yet we are assured such delays are frcT4ent. If this system be long persisted in com petition must step in, and remedy the evil. The:Madrid Gazette of the 16th contains a dispatch from the Captain-General of Catalonia, announcing that:CABRERA, the notorious Carlist General, with his Aide-de-camp, had been seized by the French police, near Narbonne, while attempting to make his escape, in a fishing-boat, to the Spanish coast, in order to raise a rebellion against the existing dynasty. In consequence of this event a circular has been addressed, by order of her MAJESTY, to all the provincial authorities, com manding them to watch the machinations of the enemies of public repose, and to repress their attempts with all the se verity of the law, as being contrary to the lawful rights of the QUEEN and to the Constitution of the State. The Gazette also publishes a royal ordonance, dated Barcelona, the 9th, sactioning a loan of 15 000,000 reals (150,000/. ), for the con struction of public roads. On the 16th the Three per Cents. closed at 31% for cash, and 32 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 22 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at G 13-16 at 60 days. The discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies on the state of the navy was continued till the close of the sitting of Saturday, and adjourned till Monday. In the course of the debate the Minister of Marine was repeatedly attacked by Opposition in their statements by the report of the Committee on the Marine Budget made to the Chamber. That report represents the navy as of little or no use for practical pur poses in case of a war, as will be ;seen from', the following extract:—" In placing underyour eyes the comparative posi tion of the effective force of the navy aecording to law, arid the real effective afloat and in our dockyards, you will be struck, as we were, with the state of our feeble resources for future events ; that is to say of our ships on the stocks ; of the little progress that has been made in their construction, and of the absence of that reserve which had been provided for by the royal ordinance of the Ist of February, 1837. What effect would be produced were we to state in figures the real amount and condition of our ships afloat ? This is a fit time to observe that it is not the quan tity. but the quality, which ought to be sought for ; but we shall not expose the miserable condition of our navy. We appeal to the Ministers, and we call on them to hasten the moment when our sailing and steam navy shall have attained its natural peace establishment, regulated by two acts of the Legislature. If the French nation be satisfied to hold a very interior rank amongst the maritime nations of the world, let her remain as she is ; but if she wishes to hold the elevated rank which she has ever occupied, let her impose some sacri fices upon herself, for we declare, with regret, that to remain in our present position would be to condemn ourselves volun tarily to impotency." If this report is well founded, M. LACROSSE was fully jus tified in making the following motion—" That at the opening of the session of 1846, a special and detailed account shall be distributed to the Chamber of the naval conscription, the condition of the crews of the line, the ships of the fleet, the stores in the arsenals, and the ships on the stocks." An animated discussion took place on this motion, and M. Bita-kuur gave additional life to it by moving as an ap pendix to it that the return should also show " our means for attacking the neighbouring coast." " The question is," said he," the defence of our own coasts against attacks from sailing vessels, as well as steam-vessels. It includes also the attack of the neighbouring coasts by the same means (tattaque des cotes voisincs par les names moyens). That is what we ought to discuss seriously." The remark was cheered by the Left. Admiral MAcictu protested against such a proposition. He could understand what was meant by making preparations firr defending the French coast, but he certainly could not comprehend what the Hon. Member meant by making pre parations for attacking their neighbours. Sir C. NAPIER'S speeches in Parliament have evidently roused the slumbering spirit of the war party. The Committee on the budget of re ceipts had recommended the adoption of a uniform system of postage like that in England. The Finance Minister had announced his intention to take the subject into consi deration for next session. No business was done in the Funds at Tortoni's on Sunday.

PRINTERS' ALMSIIOUSES.—Last night the fourth anniversary meeting of the subscribers to the fund for erecting Almshouses for the reception of aged and infirm printers, was held in the Theatre of the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton-build ings, Chancery-lane. Luke James Hansard, Esq., was unani mously voted to the chair ; and after addressing the meeting, called on the Secretary to read the report of the Committee. It appeared that the affairs of the institution were in a satisfactory state, and that the object the Committee wished to see accom plished would at so distant day be realized. It was urged as an objection to the fund, that it tended to impair the parent Associa. tion, the Printers' Pension Society, but the Committee considered that objection groundless, the receipts of the latter being greatly in creased during the last four years. In order to obtain a larger amount of interest for the funded property, and to guard against any contingencies that might occur, it had been deemed advisable to enrol the institution. The amount of subscriptions received since the last annual meeting was 3551., making, with the sum previously in hand, a total of 1,4851. The announcement made in the report that Luke James Hansard, Esq., had presented 501., Mr. Clowes 211., and that many of the large printing.offices had subscribed liberally, was received with much applause. On the motion of Mr. Lee, the report was adopted ; after which several resolutions were passed, one of which was to memorialize the Sta. , tioners' Company for a grant of money. The meeting then voted thanks to the Chairman and broke up. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. SALE OF THE NAPOLEON MUSRUAL—Yesterday the sale of the first portion of the collection known as the Napoleon Musem, was commenced by Messrs. Christie and Manson, at the Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly. Mr. Christie, the auctioneer, said that although Mr. Sainsbury had expended literally a fortune in getting this important and interesting collection together, there was no reservation. The sale of this portion will last four days. Yester day the number of lots disposed of was 112, but the prices they fetched were about one.fourth their real value. Among the bronzes an infantine bust of the King of Rome, by Jeannett, formerly in the possession of Josephine at Malmaison, for which Mr. Sainsbury gave twenty guineas, was knocked down for 11. 10s. The original eagle belonging to the Imperial Guard, and used at the Adieu de Fontainebleau, 31. 17s. This was also bought at Mr. Hamlet's sale at a cost of 15 guineas. A silver plate with the Imperial arms on the border, used by Napoleon at St. Helena, and brought from there by Count de las Cases, 51. In addition to the above, there were sold 20 beautiful enamels by Lienard, of Napoleon, Marshal Ney, Berthier, Junot, Joseph Buonaparte Lucien, Louis, and Jerome Buonaparte, Murat, Caroline, youngest sister of Napoleon, Cardinal Fesch, Marie Louise, &c., which cost Mr. Sainsbury 400 guineas, the amount they realised being but 761. Among the orders sold, one of the Order of the Iron Cro.vn of Italy, presented by Napoleon to Marshal Ney, sold for 21. 4s. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000 bales, of which 700 were on speculation, and 300' for export. The business comprised 400 bales Maranham at 41/ B d. to 5 ; 100 Pernam at 5 1 4 d. to 5%d. ; 200 Egyptian at 6 1 4 d. to Bd. ; 100 Bahia at 5 3 %d. ; and the rest American, at 3 1 4 d. to 4%d. per lb.

The experiment of offering tea at public sale in single chests, so as to enable the retail dealers to buy first hand, was attempted yesterday, and will be repeated, although, as usual in these cases, the first step involves loss upon those who take it. The teas offered were not of a character to at tract the more substantial traders, consequently the greater part was taken for exportation, but the system of offering in small lots, being approved of by a large class of town and country buyers, another sale of a superior class of teas is contemplated, to test the system on a more extended scale.

The anticipations of those who stated that when the Home Secretary put down gambling on race-courses he would inflict a heavy blow and great discouragement on the races themselves, have not been realised. Every one must recollect the excitement created by Sir James Graham's memorable edict against the con tinuance of those sylvan temples of chance, where many a man, who before never had the opportunity of seeing the fascinating but destructive games of hazard or rouge at noir in full operation, suddenly imbibed a taste for them, which often led to the ruin of himself and his family. "As well put down racing altogether," urged some parties, "as do away with the play-booths—Ascot's fame will only live in history ; Hampton, too, will fade in its glory ; jockies may as well turn to some other trade ; and Mr. Justice Clarke retire from his judicial seat." But the real lovers of the turf said they felt assured nothing could be more con ducive to the interests of the Sporting World than that this salutary reform should be carried into effect, because the' many would subscribe to the different race grounds in their neighbourhood who formerly withheld their subscriptions on the ground that they were contributing to an immoral and dangerous amusement. And what has been the result of Sir James Graham's measure ? Why, it has indisputably benefited instead of injured the turf. The subscriptions of those who formerly would not countenance the meetings where play was carried on now fully come up to the amount derived from the ietting of those canvass club-houses. I have been led to make these remarks from:the fact of the late Ascot and Hampton meetings, which were said to be almost destroyed, having passed off with so much eclat. At the former we had an almost unprecedented week's sport; while the character of the latter meeting was most materially improved. Horses of a better stamp than usual found their way there, time was well observed, and no pulling visible. The Gold Cup, as I fancied, went to Ninety-one, a winner the previous day at Birmingham. The Surrey and Middlesex brought eleven to the post in very good style. Of this lot, the only four I thought and mentioned had the slightest chance were placed by the judge. Pineapple, I thought, would have beaten all of this small lot, but Misdeal, whose running for the Suffolk I called the attention of my readers to, managed to beat him a length. In the Corinthian Stakes Are,ano. —^• fi'r eaA"fieliAvie well contested. For the Hurst Cup old Fama ran exceedingly stout, and was only beaten half a length by Loadstone. What won her Majesty's Plate, after as fine a race as ever was seen with Patchwork, a mare that has some running about her. In the Claremont Stakes, Trenn, to the astonishment of his friends, occutiod the first place in the race instead of the ►econd. In the Handicap the Queen of the Gipsies, the celebrated op.• ponent of semiseria at Newmarket, made a sad exhibition of the field. The rapidity with which meeting succeeds meeting, both in the north and south of England, give the racing man very few leisure hours. The Newcastle week commences this day, with a very stroni programme. The Produce Stakes has seven subscribers, and from the mediocre performances of the animals engaged in it, will be reduced, I should think, to a match between As you Like it and Midlothian, and won by the latter. The North Derby will be a most interesting race, as it will bring out Mentor, much fancied by his party for the Epsom Derby; Midlothian, a good public performer; Fitzallen, the Chester lion ; and Yellow Boy, a decent colt, that has got his head in front on one or two previous occasions. Collier may also show. Of this lot I expect to see at the post Mentor first and Midlothian second. On Tuesday we have the Northern Oaks, destined for Marian Ramsay. The Hunters' Stakes will furnish a good race, and will be won, I imagine, by Lara. Netherton Maid for this race ought to run forward, as she won three races the week before last in a very re. spectable manner. The Queen's Plate Trueboy should win, and will win, if his temper is undisturbed; the only horse that seems to have a chance with him is Jinglepot. On Wednesday, in the Gateshead Lottery Stakee, as Pantasa beat Mentor so far, it is but fair to imagine i.e will beat him here again. The Great Northumberland Plate—the race of the meeting— will be certain, out of thirty-tree acceptances to it, to bring out a large field. Dawson's lot, consisting of the Best of Three, Inheri tress, Lightning, Godfrey, What, Northumberland, and the Flags man filly have been, as may be imagined, heavily supported. Hes seltine has Pedometer, Merry Andrew, Portobello, and Marian Ramsay, and each of these have been supported at times. I will now take a glimpse at the "doings" of the various animals. In heritress, the mare I fancied would have won the Ascot Stakes (first class) has, upon the strength of her only being beaten a neck for' that race, been elevated to the first place in the betting. She is very well in, and if in form, must beat everything in the race except Lightning, whose chance, I think, first-rate. The reader may, perhaps, not recollect that last year this horse, with fist 51b, ran second to Foig-a-ballagh for the Cesarewitch Stakes, beating twenty-four others, and as the pace in that race was first-rate, his performances ought to be looked upon most favourably. Pagan is too uncertain a horse to recommend being backed; one day he runs exceedingly well, and on another he cannot be got to go a yard. His best performance was his running second to the Era for the Liverpool Cup last year, giving trim 51b. I should not be surprised to see him either first or last, so dubious is his running. The Queen of the Tyne meets a very different field to that she met at Gorhambury, and I cannot fancy her chance good for much. Portobello, I think the best of Heseltine's lot, and from the weight put upon him I have sangnine hopes of seeing him very near winning. His Cat terich running, where he beat Inheritress and Trueboy, should not be forgotten. Coheiress will only, I should think, hurt her friends. Cataract, Crikey Billy, Brevity, Little Hampton, and Peter the Hermit, may swell the field, but will never number the winner among them; and I cannot fancy anybody will be found to trust Scmisaria for a sixpence. The bubble respecting this mare has at length burst. Major Yarburgh's Little John, from being in the same stable with Miss Sarah, and having only 4st 41b on him, has been made responsible for some small sum, and I conceive his chance to be a very moderate one. In conclusion, I think I shall stand upon Lightning to catch the judge first, and fancy Inheri tress or Portobello will be the next two in the race; while coming to this opinion, I am ignorant which Mr. Meiklam will declare to win with ; and I must say, that only Portobello can apparently drprive him of this splendid stake. For the Corporation Stakes Freeman appears to have the best chance, and next to him Lara. The Tyne Stakes has sixteen subscribers, and the only animal that has appeared in public is the Minstrel Boy. For the Gold Cup Annandale looks extremely well, and if he can heat Pagan, should win the race London, June 21. TELEGRAPH. ( FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The list for Wednesday at Newcastle promises some good sport; the Lottery Stakes will bring about six to the post. Pantasa if he runs will do the trick, but as his starting can not be relied on, I should advise my readers to give au eye to Mentor and the sister to Pedometer. The Northumberland Plate has thirty-three acceptances out of ninety-five nominations, of which about one-half will be found at the starting post, and as far as I can discover they will be the following;—Pagan, Aristides, Queen of Tyne, Inheritress, Lightning, Semiseria, Pedometer, Porto bello, Brevity, Northumberland, Little John, Coheiress, Wynyard, Extravaganza, Badinage, and Marian Ramsay. Out of these Mr. Meiklam's two look, and most probably will prove, the best; he intends starting two—Lightning and another, which other at present seems likely to be Inheritress, yet notwithstanding he might at the eleventh hour fancy Godfrey or Best of Three; therefore I should say the safest plan would be to back the lot. The Queen of Tyne, Pagan, and Coheiress are all three in beautiful condition and full of running ; Little John and Northumberland will find the distance too great for them. Semiseria will be completely " cooked" before she has gone two-thirds of the distance. if any outsider is destined to carry off the Plate it will be that tough specimen of a racer, Brevity. In conclusion, I expect to see Lightning or Inheritress first, the former for choice, and Pagan, Queen of Tyne, and Coheiress close in the rear.

His HONOUR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued before the Court during the last term The bill was filed for the purpose of enforcing a lien on certain property on which the defendant, a lady of the name of Parker, had lent 6,0001. His Honour, after going through the facts of the case, which we have already detailed, stated its opinion to be that the lien was not sus tainable as against the defendant Mary Parker, and that as against her, if the bill was a hostile one, it must be dismissed with costs; if not it must be dismissed; and as to the other parts of the prayer of the bill, there must be the common decree. The COURT then proceeded to hear demurrers and further di rections. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT Eatice.) HILYARD V. LANGLEY.

This was an action to recover the sum of 6/. 7s. 3d. for work done at the new Conservative Club-house in St. James's-street, and for nails, &c. supplied. The plaintiff had been engaged as a foreman carpenter under the defendant, who was the contractor for building the club house in question ; and he had the engagement of workmen under him, and was paid the money on account of the men, and was to be paid 6s. a-day. The plaintiff; however, was very irregular in his attendance, and so frequently intoxicated, that he was discharged at the end of three months. The balance of the account in dispute was in reality for three days and three quarters work, made up of hours in different days in the last week, and for some nails, &c., supplied. The defendant had paid for the nails, although he denied that he had ever had them, and also paid 12s. for two days' work, amounting :together to 1/, 155., which, it was alleged, was all that was due. Proof was adduced, that after plaintiff left the job he said he had settled all up, but 0.1 a subsequent occasion he said he would have a " go in" at de. fendant, as he could get law as cheap as any one.—Verdict for defendant.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. • CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 23.—Professor Deiffenbach, :of Berlin, ad dressed the section for a brief space on the interesting paper read. He said that the want of morality in New Zealanders was not to be; considered, as morality was the product of civilization, and it always followed in the train of Christian civilization. He thought that they possessed, with ♦anity, self-esteem also. Their boastful. ' nest proved this position. With respect to moral courage, the want of which had been attributed to them by Dr. Martine, who saw, during a considerable residence amongst them, a great many instances of it displayed. He was of opinion that they could lay claim to something like a conscience, and knew pretty well the distinctions of right and wrong, in some respects, as regarded pro. perty. They had more virtues than people who were inimical to them gave them credit for possessing. He travelled amongst them, and in parts where the face of an Europea❑ was scarcely seen from (we year's end to another, and was everywhere treated with hos.. pitality and general kindness. Professor Garrett was of opinion that the New Zealanders had much more idea of a conscience than many civilised beings who had the reputation of possessing one, and yet had it not. There never was a human being, howsoever savage he might be, but had some notions of right and wrong if he choosed to act up to them. There were parallel cases innumerable to the New Zealanders, in this respect, in this country. There were plenty of Englishmen to be found, whose sense of morality was not a whit superior to the New Zealanders. How many amongst us, who professed the most strict notions of religion, and were remarkably sedulous in. making a show of it, and yet these persons were found in their dealings to be mean, cunning, selfish, whenever they act so they safely evince the most decided dishonesty. Doctor Deiffenbach, in answer to a question from a member, stated his belief to be with regard to cannibalism, that amongst most savage tribes it had its origin not in a love of human food, but in superstition. The soul of the man eaten, it was believed by the savage, entered the body of him who ate him. In answer to a question from Dr. Hodgkin, as to the right of tenure on land, bearing on. the New Zealanders' notions of property in this respect. Mr. HALLAM (the author of the work on the " Middle Ages") said that he believed a right in land was claimed in early times, in Europe, by individuals or bodies, without even cultivation or occupancy, but how far wandering tribes could claim whole tracts of country, without either, was a delicate question, although most people were inclined to deny them such a right, as not being founded on reason or justice. In the chemical section, among other papers, was one read by Mr. Solly, F.R. S., on a discovery of a new variety of caoutchouc, applicable to many purposes of the arts. Mr. WILSHAW, the Secretary of the Fine Arts, claimed the paper as the property of that society, saying that Mr. Solly had taken advantage of a communication made on the subject in 1843, at a meeting of the Society of Arts, by Dr. Montgomery, Mr. Solly being in the chair. Mr. Sota.v rose to reply, but the President (Professor Graham) stopped the discussion, saying the section were much obliged to Mr. Solly for making up for the remissness of the society in not pub lishing the account of the discovery before. This declaration was received by the audience with much ap plause. In the medical section, the chief points of interest were lectures by Dr. Leeson, on the influence of galvanism in promoting endros. more and exasmore ; Dr. Fowler on the mental capacities of animals in reference to man; Dr. Laycock on the communicating fibres of the brain with reference to thought and action, and the introduction, by Dr. Brooke, to the profession, of a new kind of suture, adapted for hare lip, rupture of the vagina, the palate, &c., entirely superseding the old method. AERONAUTICS.--Yesterday evening Mr. Charles Green, the veteran aeronaut, made his 300th ascent from the grounds of the Royal Standard and Albert Saloon, at Hoxton. The balloon, a large and handsome machine, belonging to Mr. Green, and well-known as the " Albion," was exhibited in the gardens during the afternoon, partially inflated, to a very numerous com pany, for whose amusement, while awaiting the ascent, a great variety of entertainments had been provided. The juveniles were fully occupied in roundahouts, ups and downs, and other such en tertainments, in one portion of the grounds, while the mote re verend seniors were amused by the singing, dancing, &c., of a theatrical company upon an open air stage. There was no time fixed for the balloon ascent, and therefore no ground for complaint of breach of faith on that head, but, about a quarter past seven, Mr. Green took his place in the car, accompanied by a gentleman whose name was stated to be Murray, a member of the medical profession, and after a very few trials of its buoyancy, the machine was released from its moorings, and launched into the atmosphere, bearing away, in a majestic style, in a direction towards Kent. The exhibition attracted immense crowds to the neic,bourhood. HoSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION, &C.—The corpora tion of the City of London yesterday intimated to the secretary of this benevolent foundation that the Corn, Coal, and Finance Com mittee had awarded the sum of 100 guineas in aid of the general funds of the institution. The western wing of the beautitully designed fabric at Brompton will be ready for the transmission of the patients from the present establishment at Chelsea early next spring. The Right Rev, the Bishop of Durham preaohe's on behalf of the hospital On Sunday next. STEALING COFFEE.—George Morton, aged 9.9., described in the calendar as a gardener, was indicted for stealing 9Slbs. of coffee, valued at 6/. 10s., from the shop of Mr. Ward Slater, a grocer, carrying on business in Long street, City-road. About half-past seven o'clock on the morning of Thursday, the sth inst., the prisoner was observed by the person having the care of the house, which is lEt out in lodgings, the prosecutor not resid ing on the premises, and by another person, to take up the coffee, which was in a bag. On perceiving that he was noticed he dropped it at the side of the door. He then ran away. Six witnesses, four of whom were the prisoner's relations, were called to prove an alibi. Their evidence went to show that he was in bed at the time the robbery was stated to have taken place, and that he did not leave the house until after nine in the morning. Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE then summed up, and the jury found the prisoner guilty of larceny. A former conviction having been proved, he was sentenced to be transprorted for seven years. THE I.A TR ROBBERY AT SIR WILLIAM MAGNAY'S.—John Ell, who was remanded from last session on the charge of stealing a quantity of paper, the property of Sir William Magnay, was dis charged, no evidence being offered on the part of the prosecution. The sessions then terminated. Sin,—You would render an essential service to the public if you would call the attention of the Directors of the South- Western Railway Company to the extraordinary want of punctuality in the arrival of the morning trains, and conse quent serious inconvenience which is occasioned to men of business, who may have made arrangements on the calcula tion that the trains would arrive at the hours stated in the lists. The train which left Gosport this morning at half-past six, and was stated to be due at ten minutes past ten, did not arrive at Nine Elms till fbur minutes to eleven, being three-quar ters of an hour after time, in a distance of only seventy eight miles. This unpunctuality is of such frequent recur rence that it is highly necessary the Directors should adopt more efficient measures.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, June 23.
