It is pioposed by a clergyman of the Church of England to give a prize or prizes, amounting in all to one hun dred guineas, for the ablest essaypressays on the sub j oioed argument :—" In what manner the Union of Nation 3 at tha Grand Exhibition in 1851 may be rendered the most - conduelvo to•the glory of Cron in promoting the moral welfare of mankind." A sug gestion mere munificently in accordance with t he intentions of the illustrious originator of the Whole enterprise could scarcely have been devised, and 'hence we are in no degree asto nished to find that the.proposal has met with the cor dial and immediate approbation of his Royal high ness. By Carrying the notion into effect, its generous author will be mast effectually forwarding those philanthropic:principles which are the best anodynes for the ills of mortality, and t he best talismans of . . d . moern ci4ilisation. We look forward, consequently, to the result a tne - proposition with a confidence in its ultimately , proving in the largest sense of the word beneficial—beneficial not only to the competitors for the proffered guerdon, but likewise and in a particular manner to the general public, in whose bands will be placed the result of the competition. A. nobler or more suggestive theme could scarcely have been selected for philosophical discussion, or one which, if properly debated, could prove more hu manising in its tendency. Such projects as these, to eur thinking, present a striking contrast to the idle and preposterous „schemes of those pacific Quixotes who are for bringing about the union of mankind by preaching the impracticable doctrines of arbitra tion. Instead of adventuring upon any such frivolous undertakings, the competition for the prize essay on the Exhibition would be arguing on solid grounds for the universal amelioration of the community. tinder the guidance of the Commissioners we feel satisfied that the ideas broached in this manner by the clergymen referred to will be carried into effect the most judicious regard to the required arrancments. Another subject for congratulation in r e f erence t o ear of Exposition, is a se nse th a t, the approaching y generally speaking, the preparations have even now been commenced, so that no hurry or carelessness will be manifested in the proceedings of her MASESTY'S Commissioners. Neither for that reason can there be any of those unseemly omissions which must other wise have marred the various regulations and hare reflected discredit upon the community. By the ale. plication of one common energy to the building up of the Crystal Palace, that extraordinary edifice has already far advanced torauds 5.a; completion, so that a comparatively short time longer will witnees its rapid decoration. Prom 371 these coneiderations, it must be manifest that the didieultiee so long said to present insurmountableas trections to the carrying out 'he plans of the Exhibit;on exieted only in the • or of men incepable ef. energetic exertions - • workin g , as all the parties engaged in fee=ik i ttt'7 - ;A * Ise have done, from the period cf its r nazi.l4.tec* cement, " with a will," rrtore has been , within the space of a few weeks, than Ar -:s_ THE SUN, could have been effected in months, under ordinary circumstances. _ . Earnestly de we trust that no diminution of the energy already displayed may creep in, so that, be fore the close of 1850, the principal part of the work will have been perfected. By this means, and by this means alone, will the Commissioners be enabled to de velope to their full extent the projects connected with the Exhibition in all its different departments. Act ing otherwise they will find their labours lapsing into a deplorable and inextricable confusion. What under the present system of management is simple and com prehensible enough would speedily become a maze of difficulties, baffling all efforts at their disentangle ment. The reasonableness of our opinions in this regard must be at once apparent, when it is only borne in mind that to the novelty of the entire enterprise must be added its intricacy and its magnitude. It must be remem bered, for example, that the scheme necessitates in the first place negotiation, more or less direct, with all the nations and governments of the habitable globe, in the east and in the west, in the north and in the south, in the tropic of Cancer and in the tropic of Capricorn. Out of this labyrinth of corre spondence, the only means of facile extrica tion is discoverable in regularity and promptitude. Upon the union of these two qualities in the supervision of their arrangements, her AIAJESTY'S Commissioners have resolved at all cost of time, labour, attention, and convenience. That in fact is the secret of the success which has hitherto attended , their exertions. They have allowed no obstructions to accumulate ; but have reaped them down as they have arisen. The reward of this judicious vigour is visible in the forward state of the preparations. No other stimulus, we are convinced, is henceforth in any way requisite. A knowledge that the regard of all their countrymen is concentrated just now upon their efforts, and that their movements are also, in a greater or less degree, subjects of interest and speculation to the peoples of the four continents, must prevent the Commissioners from relaxing iu an activity hitherto so viib!y advantageous, and from this time forth, until the end of their labours, more than ever necessary to the completion of the under taking. One consideration is fortunately apparent to themselves, and to the rest of the community— namely, that from a sense of what has already been effected there can no longer be any dotabt that the enterprise w ill be prosperously conducted to a con clusion. In the recent impressions of this journal we devoted considerable space to the consideration of subjects affecting the moral, social, and intellectual condition of the Irish people. We gave expression to our feel ings of deep condemnation of those bigotted reli gionists—vvbetber of England or of Rome—who wculd perpetuate that system of sectarian excluzl,:e ness which all good and wise men pint to as the chief cause of Ireland's wretchedness. After cen turhs of barbarism, ignorance, and misrule, Go vernment has placed within the reach of all classes in I►eland the means of education bated upon _ . principles calculated to prolluce social results of in calculable good ; and we trust the people of that country will not be deterred from the full enjoyment of such a salutary boon; we trust that the educated Catholic, the liberal and enlightened Protestant, the patriotic and intelligent Presbyterian will form a united and determined phalanx to oppose any malignant influence that may be interposed to prevent the youth of Ireland from enjoying the kindly intercourse of literary communion. We trust the middle classes in Ireland, of all religious denominations, will stand by and support their educational institutions—their national schools and colleges, despite of every mis chievous opposition, proceed from what source it may, whether from the Roman Propaganda, the Synod of Thurles, or the silly declaimers of. Exeter-hall. We turn fur the present from this important sub ject of national education to one of no less moment, the physical wants and resources of Ireland; for the people must be fed as well as educated. We have been led to the consideration of this subject by seeing the triumphant results of Vett Mr. OWENES experiments on Iri . It will doubt less be in the recollection of o readers that at t he close of the Parliamentary sea on of 1849 it was announced in the House of Commons, on the autho rity of Lord ASIILEY, that Irish peat was convertible into what then seemed to the uninitiated very extra ordinary products, and which would produce to the adventurous speculator large if not enormous profits. It was asserted to be proved by actual experiment that Irish peat was convertible into sulphate of am monia, acetate of lime, naptlaa, paraffin?, volatile and fixed oils. Yet, though Lord ASHLEY'S honour and veracity were beyond doubt, though Mr. OWEN'S respectability was unimpeachable, and notwithstand ing that the Honourable Member for Ennis at tempted to illuminate the dark infidelity of the House by the light of a candle, the materials for which, he assured Honourable Members, were extracted from the bog peat of his native land, still the smile of in credulity might be seen en many a senator's counte nance, and Mr. OWEN'S project was looked on as the hallucination of a benevolent minded gentleman; out side the House of Commons scepticism and want of faith very generally prevailed, and the columns of most of our contemporaries teemed with a great deal of doubt, mingled with somewhat of the ridiculou's, at the Lotion that the Irish bogs could be converted into commodities of such commercial importance and value. • ----- We were not, however, deterred from giving the project all the support and encourarment in our power. The experiments then made were no doubt on a very small scale, but we could see nothing to prevent the same proportionate results from ex periments on a largtr scale. The failure of the Dart moor Peat Company, which was put forward as an argument against Mr. OWEN'S scheme, we demon strated to have arisen entirely from mismanagement and misconception. The most eminent chemists tested the comparative value of the peat of the three kingdoms, and unani mously decided that Irish peat yielded these valuable products in greater quantity than the others, and had the Dartmoor Company acted on the knowledge of this fact, and proportioned their lavish and ex travagant expenditure on machinery to the mere re quirements and extent of their operations, they would have succeeded, as:Mr. OITEN has done, in realising more than one hundred per cent. on their capital. The satisfactory and conclusive results of the ex periments of Mr. OWEN'S project, which we have now the pleasure to lay before the public, have been carried oh in Ireland under the superintendence of Dr. HODGES, Professor of Agriculture in Queen's College, Belfast, and in London on the premises of Messrs. COFFEY and Sons, engineers, who have certi fied the correctness of the following estimate : EZPENDIT U RE. 36,500 tons of peat, at 2s. per ton £3,650 465 tons of sulphuric acid, at 71 3,185 Wear and tear of apparatus, &c. 7OO , Wages, labour, 84c 2,000 Cost of sending to market, &c. Profit £23,625 Thus, upon an outlay of 11,7171., Mr. OWEN has realised within little more than a year the enormous sum of 11,9061., or more than 100 per cent. The produce consisted of -365 too of sulphate of ammonia, at 121. per ton Z-4,380 255 tons of acetate of lime, at 141. per ton 19,000 gallons of naphtha, at ss. per gallon 4,750 109,500 pounds of paralfiue, at Is. per gallon 73,000 gallons volatile cil, at 15. per gallon 36,000 gallons fixed oil, at Is. per gallon £23,625 It is a source of deep gratification to us to find the hopeful anticipations in which we indulged so fully and satisfactorily realised; and we congratulate Mr, OWEN on the triumphant success of his benevolent and spirited undertaking. In the estimate of the profits no account has been taken of the value of the land reclaimed, which would, of course, be considerable; and in the extrac tion of the substance called paraflice, which is used in t h e man ufitcture of the best can dl es , a quant i ty o f inflammable gas is obtained equal in value, as fuel, to 20 tons of coal for every 100 tons of peat, and which would admit of the production of peat charcoal as a farther considerable source of gain. We believe, however, there is at present a very respectable com 'pany under the management of Mr. ItocEns, the eminent engineer, in successful operation converting Irish peat into charcoal, the extraordinary deodoriz ing effects of which Mr. ROGERS has frequently de.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 4,000 hales, with a dull market.—ln Railway :Mares a limited business only was done, and at lower prices. The changes in the Bank of England account cf lift &c., were net so important during the week to the 26th ult., but yet interectutg in respect to some items. The Government deposit account had sunk probably as low as it will go fur the present, and private deposi tors would appear to find rather Ic.ts employment for their assets, as the balances to their account !suffered no further curtailment, and on the contrary were aug mented.

There was a decline rgain yesterday afternoon in the rates at which bills of exchange were negotiated upon the principal continental cities, and there seems a scar cty of paper, which it is rather difficult to account fur, otherwise than upon the presumption that there is less than usual owing to us by foreign countries. Great in terest is felt just now in this matter, because not only silver specie leavers us to some extent, but gold is more abundant and cheaper at Paris, and, is,s is presumed by some, en account of increased supplies from England. Three months' bills on Paris were taken at 25 42} and and at short date at 25 14 to 15. Vienna was quoted 12 10 to 12 14, and Trieste 12 15. On Austria parties are very shy of taking bills, and will be whilo political affairs are so unsettled. Frankfort was 119:1 I, Hamburgh 13 9to Amsterdam 11 18i to 19/, and Antwerp 25 40 to 44. The experts of bullion from London direct this week, and to Thursday, have been 498 ounces of gold dust, 119,340 ounces of silver to Holland and Belgium , 55,000 ounces to France, 25,600 ounces to Madras, and 12,000 ounces to Hambro'. There are accounts of June 13 from Sydney, and August 24 from the Cape of Good Hope, bat they fur ' nish nothing of importance. At Frankfort, on the 30th ult., Austrian Metallics wore 761, and Spanish Three per Cents. 34 The .e; li g lith Funds fully support the improved tone that was perceptible on Thursday afternoon. Consols have been at 97k4 for Transfer, and 971 s for December. Tho political news still reads doubtful, and no one can determine whether the issue will be peace or war; but there is so little speculation going on, that a few money investments at once turn the market upwards. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Ceuta. have been 984 and :he Three per Cents. 96i to 1. Bark Stock has been firm at 212 to 213. Excuequer-bills have been quoted 355. to 683. prem., and India Bonds 86s. prem. The Foreign Securities have been quiet, but rather firmer. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 344, and Spanish Five per Cents. 184 to t; Mexican Bonds have been at an advance to 32 and 32k-; BreitHan Small are 90i; Grenada, 18i; and Peruvian Deferred, 36g. Dutch Four per Cents. are 88i to 4. The Railway traffic return for last week is satisfactory in regard to most of the lines. The Share Market is decidedly better to-day, and an advance has occurred in North-Western, Great Northern, South-Eastern, &c. • In Mining Shares rather less has been done this week.

J (THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Michaelmas Term an an usual commotion prevailed in the viciaity of Westminster Hall during the whole morning.

Wo would fain draw the attention of our readers to a report, copied from the Kent Herald, which ap pears in another column, of the Introductory Lec ture delivered at the opening of the Ashford Mechanics' Institution by the Rev. JOHN DUTTON, M.A., Rector of Warehorn. The purpose of the lec ture ‘1753, as stated by the Reverend Lecturer, to explain the objects of such institutions, for the pur pose of meeting the scruples of those who had ex pressed doubts as to the real utility of such an insti tution at Ashford. It certainly does not say much for either the wisdom or learning of the " rc.i.:pect ablei" of Ashford that a lecture for such a purpose should have been at all necessary, and but for the t,,s tirnony of the Rev. JOHN DUFTON, we certainly should have doubted the existcnce of such obscuran- tists. The arguments of r.ll such have, however, been met, and well met, by the Rev. Gentleman ; and we trust he will publish his lecture in extenso, as a text book for those who may have to combat the ob scurantists of other localities who would still deny education to the people. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Ordre publishes the following, it is signed by M. DE CIIAMBOLLE, a Member of the Committee of Permanence : " The demonstrations, the attempts, end the acts which have for acme tiro past caused serious uneasiness to the country, are at length come to a stop. beveral of the Ministers, theuiselyes moved at certain facts which they could not prevent, felt that it was time to secure their responsibility. In order to modify the inconceivable measure relative to General Neumayer, and on which no other explc.iation can be hreught forward, or at least sustained, than that which we Imvo given, end to obtain the assurance that other acts of the same miter? should not take the public by surprise, they considered that they were bound to tender their resignations. This; re signation could not be accepted without the rupture of the Executive rower with the Assembly being definitely accomplished, and in some measure proclaimed, and it did not take place. It was this only, it, is said, which prevented the reinoTll et General Ifurest, who has long necn charged with the command of the brir.de which is more particularly entrrrted with watching over the safety of the Assembly. Iteprt has even gone so f.r as to say that his successor was to have been Colonel d'Alpboase, whoa© regiment came to Paris after the reviews-of-Ver sailles, at the same time that the 4th regiment of the line, in consequence cf an unforeseen change, received orders to leave Paris. Such a fact, if realised after the removal of General Neumayer, would have been clearly equivalent to the dismissal of General Changarnier. It was this dismissal wilhout the frankness of lite act. Au immediate conflict would probably have taken place be tween the two powers. This conflict may now be con sidered as adjourned, and we think there will ne no seii ous fear of it so long us the present Cabinet shall re main at its post. \Vo may even expect to see the next session opened by a pacific and perfectly constitutional message, if no Buddcri change takes place eetween this and the 11th November." Ths Journal des Dibats gives the following ac count of the sitting of the Permanent Committee yes. terdav " The Minister of the Interior was the only member of the Cabinet present. It is affirmed that 21. B.troehe, when interrogated as to the motives which had led th the removal of General Neuinayer, did not consider it is duty to entcr into explanations relative to en act accom plished by the Executive power, within the limit of its right, but gave some details as to tb.e present state of affairs. he is said to have given the most positive as surances that the Government never thought of any dis missal in the army in Finis, nor of any measure of a nature to diminish the authority of she General in- Chief, or of the Generals under his orders. The Com mittee, not thinking it necessary to hasten the period of the meetin; of the Assembly, has charged four of its members to enter on the minutes of its proceedings the explanations given by the Minister of the Interior." The Univers has a furious attack on the Duchess of ORLEANi; she is denounced as a " heretic who has neither Bourbon, nor French, nor Catholic blood in her veins," and all the misfortunes of the house of Orleans are by the priestly writer of this article de clared to he judgments on the princes 4)2 that House fur having suffered the marriage of the Duke of OR, LEas with a Protestant. It is said that General CLIANGARNIER will, on the meeting of the Assembly, resign the command of the army of Paris. The Coneitiatcur of Ecnces announces that the body of a young woman, supposed to have been one of the passengers of the Superb, has bun found on the beach of Cancale. The following details may be useful for identification :—The body having been examined by Dr. LEBEURIER, of Cancale, is that cf a woman of from 20 to 25 years of age, presumed to be English. Death was produced by submersion, and no mark of violence was visible. The clothes appeared to be uch as are used by per sons of the better class. Her linen, which was very fine, was marked with the initials "N. E. H.," No. 28. A small cloth purse was found in the pocket of the gown containing 70f. or 75f. Five small keys, attached to a ring, were also found in the pockets. Among the arrests that have been made at Mar seilles is that of M. THOUREL, a barrister at Aix, who dsfended one of the accused tried by the High Court of Versailles. Yesterday, being All Saints' Day, was observed as a holiday at the Bourse. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 27th have arrived. A rumour prevailed of the retirement of M.l3n.tvo MuziLLo, Minister of Finance, but without meeting with credence. Upwards of 150 Deputies had arrived for the meeting of the Cortes, which was to take place on the 31st ult. GERMAN Y. The Cologne Gazette of the 31st ult. hizs the fol lowing from Frankfort, on the subject of liesse. Cassel:— " Oa Saturday evening the Elector and his Ministers formally protested against the entry of the Bavarian troops into Electoral Hesse. On Suntby they consented to it. The federal commission of execution having given them the assurance that the Prussian General Circaben had received no orders to resist any attack which might he made on the Prussian troops, in fact that no such at tack was intended, all unea►iness was allayed. On Sun day or Monday the order was issued for dissolving the hessian army, which order is now being proceeded with. AU the officers have received their dismissals. To morrow Bavaria is to enter into Hesse. We are thus on the eve of great events." In consequence of the determination of Russia and Austria to enforce the decision of the Assembly of the Band as to the occupation of nesse, Prussia had in creased the extent of her military preparations. It had been resolved to make seven army corps, or 140,000 men mobile. It was probable the Land wehr of the first class would also be called out, but no final decision on this point had been come to. Anxiety as to the preservation of peace had deepened, but the funds were but little affected by the warlike rumours. The proposition of Prussia for a free conference on the affairs of Hesse has been rejected at Warsaw. We read in the indipendance of Brussels :—" It was rumoured at Berlin on the 29th ult. that the news received from Warsaw were unsatisfactory, but we believe that the result of the conference is judged too hastily.. A Russian note had arrived on the pre vious evening, and although it was not known whether it was relative to the affairs of Germany or to those of the Duchies, it was asserted that it was of a nature to cause disquietude. It was moreover said at Berlin, and at Vienna also, that the order to invade the Falectorate had positively been remitted to the Bavarian troops, notwithstanding the opposition of Prussia." The German Journal of Frankfort, under date of Munich, 27th ult., says :—" Count DE BaA; Bava rian Ambassador at the Court of St. Petersburgh, has returned here at the request of the Government, and will leave in a few days for Warsaw. Tha army of the Maine, has, it is said, received orders not to cross the frontiers, so as to avoid any collision with Prussia. This order leads to a supposition that an amicable ar rangement is sought for. A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna of the 28th tilt., says :—" The Steam Navigation Company of the Danube has received orders to provide towing vessels for the conveyance of troops from the confines of Croatia, Servia, and Wallachia." The Lithographed Correspondence of Vienna of the 24th ult. states that the Austrian Government pro poses to purchase all the Lloyd's establishment of Trieste, and to add its steam fleet to the Imperial navy, placing the whole under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Commerce. According to a letter from Hanover, in the Cologne the new Ilanovethn Cabinet l a id down es the condition ondition of accepting the government, the dis avowal of M. DETMOLD, and the resolutions of the Diet of Frankfort of the 21st September, relative to gen e r a lly believed, that journal says, to be on l y one' of transition. Electoral Hosse.

The animals are all in very line condition, and can be seen at present on board the ♦essel in the import dock.

Parties under this Act can concur in special cases and obtain the opinion of the Court of Chancery; accounts of persons deceased can be taken before the Masters.

The Lord Chancellor can by order remove and appoint new trustees. These Acts are now in force, and proceedings will be forthwith adopted under them in the Court of Chancery. _ DINNER TO MR. CARLETON, THE IRISH NOVEL ;fr. —Th e distinguished author of " Fardoragha, the Miser," " The Black Prophet," and other novels equally well known, has recently made a visit to this metropolis, with a view, it is supposed, to the publication of a new work of fic tion. Some gentlemen conected with literature and the tine arts took advantage of the great Irish novelist's presence in London to entertain him at dinner on Wednesday evening at the Nell Gwynne Tavern. Dr. Raleigh Baxter presided on the occasion, and was supported by Messrs. Stirling Coyne and Frederick Tomlins, The health of Mr. Carleton was pro posed by the Chairman briefly, but with much feeling, as one who had moved him to laughter and to tears alternately more than any living writer, and, with one or two exceptions, perhaps more than any of the great and gifted men whose works remain to us, and whose genius we reverence. Mr. Carleton referred in plain and unpretending terms to his origin, his early struggles, and the circumstances which led him into writing for the public; and the final avowal that his popularity in England, and the cordial manner of his per sonal reception, was the crowning triumph of his career, called down rapturous applause. With the exception of the chairman and Mr. Coyne, all Mr. Carleton's entertainers in the present instance were Englishmen.—Lady's Nciespaper.
