[The following appeared in our Third Edition of yesterday RAT:;CE. In the Assembly, on Wedneiday, tl:e clauses of the Bill fur regulating primary schoolmasters came on for discussion, and an amendment was proposed by M. Salmon, enacting that the prefects should not have a right to dismiss any schoolmaster until they had taken the opinion of the Committee of Arrondissement, which was opposed by the Minister of Public Instruction, as weakening the force of the Bill. The Assembly, however, adapted the amendment, notwithstanding the opposition of the Ministry. The discussion was renewed yesterday, when the amendment underwent considerable modifications. The report of the Committee was to the following effect :—The Assembly adopted, on the preceding day, an amendment of M. Salmon to the third clause of the Bill on Primary Instruction, which obliged the prefects to take the opinion of the Committee of the Arrondissement previous to the revocation of schoolmasters who, in all cases, can appeal to the Minister of Public Instruction against the decision. This amendment changed the spirit of the law by rendering its effects less prompt and efficacious. M. Mortimer Ternaux, wishing to remedy that inconve nience had moved that the appeal should not prevent the suspension or revocation from taking place, and M. Faultrier asked that the suspension, pronounced in virtue of the article, might extend to six months. Those two amendments having been referred to the Committee, M. Beuo snot, the reporter, said that it had been of opinion to adopt both. M. Faul trier's amendment graduated the penalty, which was a great merit in penal legislation. Some members, however, objected that, if the suspension lasted six months, the district would be deprived of the benefit of primary instruction dur ing too long a period. Now, he thought that the suspension would seldom exceed a month or two, but, in all cases, it would be easy to supply the place of the schoolmaster. The other amendment, moved by M. Ternaux, had likewise appeared perfectly logical to the committee, and it had resolved to propose its adoption with the adoption of a clause empowering the prefect to condemn him to the partial or total deprivation of his salary. (" Why not at once con demn hi,n to death," exclaimed a voice on the Left - , " it is an infamy.") N. Parien, Minister of Public Instruction, declared that the C abinet accepted the modifications introduced into the Bill by the Committee. Although the first paragraph of the 31 article had been carried in oppo. sition to the wishes of Ministers, yet, with the changes made by the Committee, he trusted that the desired object would be attained, and the Cabinet accordingly concurred in them. M. L'Herbette observed, that the adhesion of the Cabinet might be a tactique to obtain the rejection of the first part of the 3d article when the Assembly would vote on the whole. He accordingly moved that the additional paragraphs be converted into a separate article, which was ageed to. After a few words from M. Mounet, in behalf of the schoolmasters,who would be deprived of all means of existence during six months, the amendment of M. Ternaux was put from the chair, with the additional penalty of the suspension of the salary, and voted. M. Mathieu de la Drome next observed that the amendment of M. Faultrier would imply the abroga tion of the 3d article. If it were adopted the Assembly should mention in the article that the prefect was bound to consult the Committee of the Arron dissement before pronouncing the suspension of a schoolmaster during six months. "An attempt is making to frighten you, gentlemen," added he, "at the progress of Secielises, in order to avert your attention from the real danger. They place before your eyes an imaginary phantom. Tne peril is not on that side. A party is now endeavouring to gain over to its cause the sub-officers, who are de scribed as the real strength of the army. Socialism is entirely out of tlie question. The humblest pea sant is as much attached to his patch of ground as the rich man to his domain. What is intended is to substitute to the present schoolmasters, Bonapartist schoolmasters, who will propagate a journal (Le .„,„?.r.tooleon) published under the patronage of the min [Rea _ the Interior. Tne same tactique suc ceeded at another - end, for my part, I nei ther wish to be a dupe nor el.,., , plicCof the scheme." M. Laurent de l'Ardeche next developed, amidst the noise, an atnendmmt which was not taken into consideration. He was followed by M. Moreau, who moved that the schoolmaster :evoked should be replaced by a secular teacher. In support of his amendment he undertook to demonstrate the danger of confiding the instruction of youth to the clergy. In a book of the Jesuits he read this maxim, " A robber is preferable to a liar."—(L md laughter on the Right.) In ano ther passage the children are told to mind nothing but their own salvation and pay no attention to the affairs of this world, not even their family interests, &c.—(Crief of " Enough! enough !" on the Right.). M. Moreau, having descended from the tribune, M. Dunin put his amendment to the vote, and not a single Member rose to support it. The President was preparing to consult the As sembly respecting M. Faultrier's amendment, but 20 Members on the Left having demanded a division, a ballot ensued, when there appeared, for the amend ment, 387; against it, 224. The amendment was accordingly declared to be adopted. Another ballot next took place on the whole of the 4th article, which gave—for the article, 378 ; against it, 213. This article was adopted.— [Left sitting.] The Siècle has the following on the subject of the proposed expedition to La Plata " We have said that the Ministry was determined to support the negotiations in La Plata with a force of 1,500 infantry and 500 artillerymen. It may be well imagined that we do not affirm that these figures may not he changed. The mumbers of the Cabinet have not accustomed us to so much fixity in their resolutions. What we can affirm is, that, at present, the Ministry Las admitted that, in order to conform to the will of the Assembly, the negotiator should have at his disposal such forces as would prevent the town of Monte Video from running any danger until the arrival of an expedition of war, if the pretensions of Rosas rendered war inevitable. At present we are going to mention, but without affirming any thing, the rumours which have circulated during the day. It was stated that the Minister of War and cf Foreign Affairs had informed M. Darn, non-officially. that the Government de facto, joined in the opinion of the committee, and that the negotiations should be sup ported by from 2,000 to 2,500 men fit to he disembarked; in fine, that the Ministry would do all that depended on it to defend the lives of our countrymen and the interests of our commerce. If the naval forces to be employed ere more considerable the Cabinet would not hesitate, it was said, to employ Admiral Laic& a3Commander-in- Chief and negotiator, although his name is somewhat significant in the question. The Cabinet thinks, it is said, of Admiral Verninhac, ex-Minister of Marine, for the purpose, A third version states, that it is Admiral Dubourdieu who is to start for Monte Video, accom panied by a diplomatist whose name i 3 not yet deter mined on." The Journal du Havre says—" The Chargé d'AffAres of France at Bogota has presented a pro test against the rigorous manner in which the French company formed to establish a railway over the Isthmus cf Panama Ills been dispossessed, to the profit of the A3pin wall Company, of the concession which it had obtained from the Government of New Granada. He has demanded that the projectors of the company shall be indemnifik-d f)r the prelimi nary expense which they have incurred, amount ing to upwards of 80,000 r. The Government of New Granada appears inclined to attend to this demand. Negotiations have been lately entered into at Quito, the car , :tal of the IZepub!ic of the Equator, to have important additions made to the commercial treaty of 1843. That country has for the last three yearn importA a great number of articles from Paris." A CaiJintttined I,v,is held yesterday at the Eiysea at which the President of the Republic pre sided. The subject of dAlberation was the contem plated expedition against 1311,9104 Ayres. The fleet will be under the command of Admiral Dabourdieu, and the troop, , , which will consist of one regiment of Marines and t‘.vo squadrons cf Chasseurs, will ba commanded by Cpl. Lannes de Mintebello. SPAIN. In the Chamber of Deputies of .Spain ' on the 4th, a proposition for the E uspeikiion of the recent ad ministrative reforms (relltire to the governors of provinces, &c.), was rejected by 130 votes to 76. In the sittin g of the sth, the Charnbf.,,r occupied in di discussing th e l aw on accounts. It had been di-- covered that forged notes of the bank of San Fer nando were in circulation. Two brigadier-generals of tha Montemr)linist army, M. Montenegro and M. de Vargas, had been appointed to the Queen's army de with al.?, same rank, an d aut h or i sed to wear the i r coratiuns. GERMANY: The IColner Zeitung publishes the following tele graphic dispatch:— "BERLIN, JAN. 9, 12 o'CLocs.. The Royal Messaga has been sent down to the two hoes' 3. It expresses a hope that the Houses will corn- P • let: , the rovision of the constitution in th e course of this si.ssion, so ag to enable the Government definitively to constitotl the Upper House, and the King to take his oath to the constitution. " The message was accompanied by a memorial which contained certain amendments which his 31aj sty pro poses to the Houses. They are to the efllct that a peerage is propos• d fur the Upper H01.13:.', v , hilst the Ceinua,,ns house is to have the English privilege of eructing or throwing out all money Bills." DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. I%le Wiener Zeitung states, from Bucharest, of the 17th ultimo, that the solemn installation of the Prince Barbo Demeter Stirbey, took place in that city on the 16th ultimo. The weather and tha feel ings of the populace were greatly in favour of the new Prince, who addressed the estates of Moldavia and Wallachia in a speech, in which be told them that the fortunes of the country were threatened by unheard-of difficulties, but that, leaning as he did on the two protecting powers of Russia and Turkey, he hoped to be able to surmount all obstacles and to fill the Danubian principalities with peace, plenty, and prosperity. THE SL N, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, ITALY. - --- - The Sardinian Senate voted, on the sth, the ;fol lowing address, in answer to the Speech from the Throne : " Sire,—The harmony fortunately existing between the Prince and his people is a fact of ancient date in the monarchy of Savoy. The interests of the nation were ever sacred to the Prince. The people loved a mo narchy, whose aim it was to improve the moral and physical condition of the country, to maintain its independence and guard its honour. This fact, which is rare in the history of nations, will, we are assured, never cease to subsist. Nay, we are convinced that the constitutional system, happily introduced by the magna nimous Charles Albert, will offer the people more fre quent opportunity of confirming it,land already, among other proofs of affection, your Majesty justly reminds us of the electors, who hastened in numbers to answer your appeal in order to take a part in one of the most im portant acts of political lift, the election of deputies. The confidence of the nation is worthily placed in you, Sire, who with such intense affection and determined will have united your destiny with ours. Your Majesty may rely upon meeting with the same harmony in the deli berations of Parliament, which will be carried on with the conscientious sincerity which forms the basis of good constitutional government, and will facilitate in terior reforms, increase the public credit, and promote our friendly relations with Foreign Powers. To main tain in its integrity our liberty and independence, while we consider you, Sire, as the first champion in that cause; to defend religion, without which liberty perishes, and society is dissolved; to promote elementary instric tion, that the people may learn to know their rights and duties, and to distinguish true liberty from insub ordination to every authority—their true friends from those who would attempt to corrupt and mislead them; to improve, as far as circumstances will admit, the condition of the poorer classes; to provide against the penury of the Treasury without injuring the sources of reproduction ; to introduce into the public depart ments the reforms which are called for by the constitu tional system. Such arr, Sire, the points to which in our opinion the attention of Government and the severe scrutiny of Parliament should be turned. The Senate promises you, Sire, its prompt and loyal support. It has full confidence in the King and the Constitution —it is convinced that this generous and prudent na tion will show Europe that it is fit for the exercise of the precious rights which it has keen called upon to enjoy." The Milanese ladies hwe unanimously declared their resolution not to visit the Scala Theatre during the present season. At the first representation, on the 29th ult., only four high noblemen were present. Ttie only lady of distinction present was the well known Russian Countess Sannejloff. SICILY. The Gcvernment has issued a decree imposing a tax on corn-mills and on windows. An export duty has been imposed on Sumach sulphur and on all the staple produce of the island, evidently for the purpose of destroying the commerce and ruining the property of the unfortunate inhabitants. With regard to the export duty on sulphur, we trust that, if the imposition of such duty is in violation' of treaties subsisting between the King of the Two Sicilies and the Sovereign of Great Britain, Lord Palmerston will at once demand redress, and if refused take it by force if necessary. The imposition of these duties has created a wide-spread discontent throughout the island. In Catania especially the people Ind determined to combat the decrees. Mili tary assistance being sent for no outbreak occurred. The fears of Filangieri were such as to induce him to send for more troops from Naples, and a considerable force left accordingly. These facts prove pretty clearly the " popularity" of the Lard-Lieutenant and Ferdinand° 11. in Sicily. The decree which has appeared in the Sicilian Go vernment journal, ordering new taxes to be levied from January, 1850, is prefaced by a sad account of the state of the national finances. The document says : " Notwithstanding the most severe economy, the si tuation of the general treasury of our royal dominions presents a serious deficit, caused by the evils arising from past administration, during which unhappy time the pave— chest was entirely exhausted, the bank guarantees violatee, the public debt not paid, the pious establishments or tre „„ ntry neglected, &c. ; public edifices in a great measure ne,..e.ered, public roads and bridges neglected, and, in fact, every brae...a of public expenditure abandoned. At Palermo the National Guard has been broken up by an order, which at the same time thanks that body for its services. Avery one expected this event to take place long since, although the National Guard was promised so much by Filangieri. Gradually, by intimidation and office bribery, the old system is thoroughly reproduced, and so much bloodshed and sacrifice has brought the Sicilians nothing. The brilliant prospects which dawned on Sicily when free from the Bourbons, the rapid strides towards pro sperity under an enlightened and patriotic Govern ment, are now clouded over and again impeded by the bigoted, corrupt, and demoralising influence which has so long locked up the recources of the country. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. We have previously noticed the very excellent lecture delivered by Dr. Bachhoffner at this establish ment, indeed so interesting and so entertaining is this subject of " Philosophy of Recreation" that a few remarks will be, we doubt not, acceptable to our readers. The learned Doctor treats the subject in quite a new mode, first of all introducing his experi ments under mystic guise to the astonishment of all beholders, afterwards, however, explaining their mAnner of execution, and the laws by which such remarkable changes are governed. The bottle trick was introduced under two dis tinct forms—first of all, sherry, port, milk, water, champagne, were produced from a common bottle, filled is the first place with plain water. The change produced in pouring out the fluid was truly astonish ing, and seemed certainly to partake of necromancy as much as anything we had ever witnessed. The Doctor, however, explained the cause of such by charging similar glasses with certain compounds in quantities so small as to escape detection even when closely observed ; and these compounds produced, when brought in contact with the fluid in the bottle, the various appearances of wine, milk, &c. Not only this, wherein appearance only was produced, another magic bottle of the Doctor's poured out eau de vie, sherry, port, and many other com pounds, all drinkable, and of first-rate quality, thus increasing the wonder and surprise he had previously created. The admirable experiment of freezing me tallic vessels to the table called forth repeated plaudits from the audience, which, at first sight, appeared as wonderful as the former experiment, but, like it, purely a chemical delusion. The modus operandi to effect this object was the late invention of Mr. Masters, and by this apparatus several metallic vessels were froeen to the table in the astonish ing space of two or three minutes. By a variety of conclusive experiments the Doctor pointed out the laws governing these apparent anomalies, the former experiment being dependent upon pneu matical laws for its production, while the other formed an important fact in chemical science, a knowledge of which, and similar changes, enabled the practical chemist to perform his apparent difficult task of analysis. In conclusion the Professor begged to be understood, that although he might apparently have been conjuring, yet he hoped they would not, for so doing, consider him? conjuror. CHELIISFOUD, Tu URSDA .—Yeeterday a coroner's inquiry was instituted at the lt,cl Cow Inn, respecting the death of Susan Smith Page, aged five weeks, who was murdered by lize. mother, Millicent Page, under the following circumstances. With her husband, William Page, three sons, and the deceased child, she occupied a cottage near the Rose and Crown in this town. On the birth of the child, being a girl, she evinced much anxiety lest it should ever come to want, and on more than one occasion she expressed such belief to her husband, and her fear that she would have to kill it. On Saturday, the husband left his employment in consequence of a reduction of his wages, from 9s. to Bs. This being communicated to the poor creature, it seemed to con siclefaily affect her mind as to the fate of her daughter. On Monday morning the husband left home for the purpose of procuring employment in the neighbourhood of Billericay. He had not been gone long when the un happy woman destroyed the child by cutting its throat with a razor. In her frenzy, she ran to neighbour, and announced that she had murdered her child, and on the cottage being entered, such was found to be the fact. Measures were immediately taken to secure the unhappy parent; but before that could be accomplish e d, s h e n early succeeded in destroying herself with the same instrument with which she had dispatched her off,pring. She inflicted a wound in her throat, hut it is of a trifling c haracter. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the mother, and the coroner issued his warrant for her committal for trial at the next assizes. There is not the slightest doubt but that the poor creature is insane. SMANCHESTER RECTORY DIVISION.—OiI Thursday morning a meeting of the parishio ners of Manchester, and the churchwardens and sidesnien of the various district churches, was heldfor the purpose of consider • jog the outline of a Bill, to be br.,ught before the .sion Legis lature in the ensuing session for of cting a subdivision of the parish . and other important reforms in the , l'e eccle siastical arrang e ments.

MARSHALL, Chief CaAlien 6B7 1851. Dated the 10th day of January: ARROGANT versus POMONE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Having read in your valuable journal of the 31st ult. and 4;h inst., under the head of naval intel ligence, a statement of the comparative performances of her Majesty's f steam-screw -frigate Arrogant and the Pomone French screw -frigate, I am anxious to draw your attention to the following pacts : . • 1. the Arrogant was built expressly for a screw frigate, her speed on the last trial being nearly 9 knots per hour. The Pomone was built seven years ago for a sailing frigate, and slightly altered in her stern, at a small expense, for the screw, which w as only placed as an auxiliary, and under a contract that her speed was not to be less than 5 knots per hour ; yet upon trial it was found to average 6f knots per hour. Th e Pomone is only 220-horse power, and not 260-horse power as stated, whilst Arroganttue is 360-horse power, showing an advantage of 140-horse power. I think that under these circumstances you will agree with me that the Arrogant aught to have beaten the Pomone. I wish to mention another point. It appears that the Arrogant took 6f hours before she was neck and neck with the Pomone ; taking her speed at 9 knots per hour, she must hav e run a dis tance of 601 miles in 61 hours, therefore the spee d o f the Pomone during 81; hours' stea m i ng was 6.94 knots per hour. At these relative speeds the Arro gant would have only beaten the Pomone 10 hours 54 minutes in the w hole run of 330 miles, in s t ea d o f 24 hours; ther e f ore it is quite clear that af ter t h e Arrogant passed the Pomone, the latter did not con tinue to use her full power. I beg to enclose my name and address, which you are at liberty to publish if you deem it necessary. I remain, yours obediently, AN ENGINEER. Jan. 10. WESTAIINSTER IMPROVEMENTS. —• Mr. Alderman Musgrove, the chairman of the committee of governors of Emanuel Hospital, having recently laid before that body a notice of an application to Parliament in the ensuing session for amending and enlarging the powers of the Westminster Improvement Acts of the years 1845 and 1847, and to authorise the formation of a new street from Victoria -street, to Buckingham Palace, and for the compulsory purchase of lands for that purpose, a meet ing has taken place upon the subject. It appears that the Westminster Improvements Commissioners will re quire, in furtherance of the object, a large portion of the Emmanuel Hospital property close to the dormitories of the children, and the governors have dissented from the measure, under the impression that if the property be at all interfered with, the whole,. of it ought to be taken, and an establishment for the almapeople and children ought to be built at a distance from London adapted to the exigencies of the time and circumstances. The go. vernors also have received an application from the Rev. Mr. ,Tamed, the minister of the western district of St. Margaret's parish, for treating for a portion of the hoa pita' property for a site for a new church, the erection of which in that district is contemplated. This charity consists o!' 20 in pensioners and ten out-pensioners, and of 60 children, who are wholly maintained and educated out of its revenues, the objects of its bounty being se lected from the parishes in the city of Westminster. from Chelsea and Hayes, in Middlesex, from tho city of Lon eon, and from Bratr.burten, in Yorkshire, where the estates for its support are situated. SALVED CARGO.—The vessel Mersey Ilas arrived from .Holyhead with 101 barrels of tar, 26 casks of cocoa, 6 hogsheads of cavancine, 22 hogsheads of shells, 9 puncheoni of rum, 2 casks of wine, and. 100 pieces of oistic, being stated to be part of the cargo of the ship Oak, wrecked in Carnarvon Bay.

Mr. E. S. Chandos Pole was in the chair. The meeting was addressed by several speakers, after which resolutions condemnatory of free trade were adopted. lISIIIBITION or INDUSTRY OF 1851.—The first meeting of the Royal Commissioners for promotin , r this object was held yesterday, at the New Palace, West minster; his Royal Highness the Prince Albert presided, and the attendance was very numerous. We understand that the main business transacted related to the prelimi nary contract which had been entered into between the Society of Arts and the Mesrs. Munday. The Commi<;• sionurs were of opinion that the contract which had enabled the proposal to be brought to its presnnt state, and had guaranteed the carrying into effect the proposed exhibition was of a strictly reasonable, and indeed of a wry liberal character; but in accordance with what ap peared to bo the wishes of the public, they decided to giva notice of its termination and to place the whole undertaking upon the basis of a general subscription, public feeling having been so strongly expressed in sup port of the exhibition as to render any such contract now quite unnecessary. Daring the past week the Count and Countess Rossi and a distinguished party have been staying at his Grace the Duke of Cleveland's, Raby Castle.
