" A Bill of Indictment" against the Universities has at length elicited from the Government a reluc tant acknowledgment of the necessity existing for their re-organization. Such, at least, was the fell citous consequence of the motion brought forward last evening in the House of Commons, by the Hon. Gentleman the Representative of North Lancashire. Having listened attentively to the very excellent speech in which Mr. HEYWOOD inveighed against the perverse maintenance of an obsolete system, having heard various Honourable Members speak in terms of coincidence with the declaration that all systems of academical education require necessarily to be modified from time to time, according to the pro gress of opinion, the change of external circumstances, and the intellectual advancement of the multitude— the First Lord of the Treasury explicitly avowed the willingness of himself and his Ministerial colleagues to consent to the appointment, and that forthwith, of a Royal Commission. On this official declaration, of course—satisfied with the prospective co-operation of the Executive—the Hon. Member for North Lancashire at once consented to the withdrawal of his proposal• That the Hon. and Learned Member for Plymouth should have questioned the legality of any such pro • ceeding as the one suggested in remedy by the Premier could be no matter of surprise, con sidering the dim and indistinct character of the relations existing between the Par liament and the Universities. And, under all circumstances, of course any such objection, coming from the lips of one whose genius as a legal authority is altogether indisputable, would be entitled to every respectful consideration. Yet, when it is remembered that the scheme spoken of by the Prime Minister is expressedly sanctioned by the principal law officers of the Crown, and that the legality of its projection was formally avouched last evening by the distin guished Attorney-General of the Administration—it • must be sufficiently obvious that the perseverance of the Cabinet in their reformatory resolution is in no respect marked by a single characteristic of temerity. That the intimation of any readiness to reform abuses of such a protracted existence, and of such a grievous description, should be received with cries of dismay and indignation from a certain section of the com munity is, again, in no degree subject for asto nishment, seeing the devotion, the pertinacity, and the resolute fanaticism with which some individuals will insist upon clinging to the relics of antiquity. Fortunately, however, whatever possesses within it the influence of wrong and injustice, the germs of stubborn opposition to improvement, pos sesses also, and we may even s iu consequence, the seeds of decomposition, the blight of destruction. It is thus that the poet, in our own day, dreams that he can recognize the ban of decay, even in the midst of the sacerdotal pomps of the }kernel City, and that he raises his eloquent and impassioned voice in the accents of admonition. " Rome imperial! Rome majestic! Shade of greatness, vanished all— Looking down th' abyss of ages To behold thy rise and fall, We can trace upon thy forehead, Queen and wonder of thy day, Broadly marked the awful sentence, Pass Away.' " Unfortunately for CHARLES MACKAY his beautiful and earnest verses receive a signal disproof in their simultaneous appearance with the announce ment of the triumphal return of his Holiness to the Vatican. Fortunately for any one who might have predicted the destruction of the dying system of the Universities, such a prediction would have been, last evening, verified by the bold and re solute course adopted by her MAJESTY'S advisers. When the Hon. Baronet the Member for the Uoi- versity of Oxford opposed the notion of any inter ference with the management of academic education, on the classic banks of the Cam and the Isis, whether through the interposition of the Par - liament, of the Cabinet, or of a Royal Commission, maintaining, in justification of such dissent from the motion of the Hon. Representative of North Lanca shire, that all requisite reforms and improvements were spontaneously made by the University authorities themselves, he was arguing complacently on the strength of a sophism most unsubstantial and trans- parent. Honourable Members were quite familiarly enough acquainted with the nature and the position of the pathways conducting across the Pons Asinorum to detect at a glance the insufficiency of any such pre- posterous argument. Not an orator could be found sufficiently adventurous to defend it with any extent of gravity, to assail the motion of Mr. HEYWOOD with any amount of earnestness, or to ridicule the alternative of Lord JoHN RUSSELL with any degree of consistency. The very circumstance, in fact, of such and such laudable changes having been effected of late years in the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, as those referred to with so much exultation by Sir ROBERT HARRY INGLIS, IS a fact of itself powerfully corroborative of the necessity for comprehensive changes taking place periodically in all systems of academic educa tion. With regard to the evil complained cf in re ference to the Dubli❑ University, and especially with regard to the demand raised by Dissenters for their admission to the great halls of learning, this state of things must afford matter for more serious debate in the adjourned discussion. What has been rendered obvious beyond the reach of doubt by the proceedings of the House of Commons on this particular question last evening is, the impera- tive necessity existing, at any rate, for inquiry into the position of affairs at the two Universities (if for nothing else), and the course adopted thereupon by the Prime Minister indicates that, in the opinion of her MA- JESTY'SlGoverninent, such on inquiry should be insti, :uted through the means of a Royal Commission. gene intelligentraconcurrencel men of of . T opinionher There a a m p o p h e g a r s educated to du a b t e a and d all which h clas w se in e s have from inmlantime to o avour o time t p ' u te views t b forward respecting the Securities for Advances e resumed adjourned d e b a t e on w hi c h is to be on Friday evening. As we stated on the 28th ult., and have since repeated on several occasions, " the measure is admirable so far as it goes, but it must be extended to every description of real property. It would, indeed, inflict a heavy blow and great dis couragement on a class already sufficiently aggrieved if a valuable privilege were extended to mere specu lators that was denied to bond fide proprietors. It would be an act of the deepest injustice, such as we hope and believe the Imperial Parliament could never be induced to sanction on any grounds under any circumstances. It is, therefore, the duty of the friends of Ireland, of the lovers of fair play and equity between man and man, to attend in their places and to demand " justice for Ireland"—justice for the op pressed and long-suffering owners of land in that un happy country. The measure is well worthy of most attentive consideration. The existing state of fr ' a aArs on the other side of St. George's Channel, the extraordinary depreciation in the value of landed property—a s evidenced by the recent sales under " the Commis sion," and even more powerfully by the fact but too painfully notorious, that the most eligibly circu:n stanced estates cannot be disposed of on almost any terms, nor can loans be obtained save at the most ruinous and usurious rates of interest—show suf ficiently the necessity of some such enactments. When NVO hear of an estate being knocked down at one and. a half-year's purchase—a circumstance of i which we trust a full explanation may b e a ff orded on Frid a y when we have seen a perpetual a n nui t y , or yearly rent-charge of 00/. per annum, secured on lands of ample value, sacrificed at 14k ye:espurchaie, it is surely time to adopt.some remedy adequate to the nr„ency of the symate eee. I, We are well aware that it will be said that the sales above alluded to are bat exceptional cases, and that better prices have been, and will be obtained in other instances. A sale that took place on the 16th instant, in which it was asaerted that lands were sold at no less than 41 years' purchase, has been tri umphantly referred to, as showing that "the great experiment was proceeding satisfactorily," and "that there were no substantial grounds for the prediction cf that wide-spread ruin and confiscation which were to accompany the operations of the new tribunal." Unfortunately, however, the case proved rather too much. Had it been 25 or even 28 years' purchase, the argument would have been very powerful ; but 41 years' purchase, or less than 21 per cent. for the amount invested, clearly indicated that there must have been something more than met the eye to produce a result so extraordinary. We, accordingly, resolved to investigate the matter, and to ascertain the real facts and circumstances, and we have dis covered how unwarranted were the joyous paeans that had been uttered ; that there was, in truth, in that case, as well as in any of the others to which we have alluded, a very serious sacrifice, which might have been averted had the SOLICITOR-GENERAL') Bill passed into a law ; and further, that the neces sity for any sale would have been prevented if the existing proprietors were allowed, in order to preserve their properties, to avail themselves of the advantages about to be bestowed on purchasers. We shall only add that we pledge ourselves to the perfect accuracy of the following statement., It appears that " Duncormuck and the Hill of Ballary," the lands in question, contain 145 a. 3a. 12r. Irish plantation measure, which it may be necessary to inform our friends on this side of the Channel are equal to about 233 A. statute measure. The soil is rich and fertile, and the property is altogether well circumstanced, and, as we are informed, would, if out of lease, let for about 2001. per annum to a sol vent and improving tenant. The present occupant holds under an old lease, at 551. 7s.'Bd. per annum, and there is a quit rent of 2/. 12s. 7d., so that the present returns are 52/. 15s. ld. And this property undoubtedly sold for 2,200/. sterling, or forty-one years' purchase on the present rental ! But the narrator forgot to add what we now state, that the interest of the tenant will terminate on the death of a gentleman now in his seventy-second year; and that, whenever that event may happen, the pur chaser will come into possession of a well-circum stanced, fee simple estate, producing at least 2001. per annum, which he will thus have obtained at the very inadequate price of ELEVEN—not forty-one years' purchase. We may also add, that the former pro prietress, Mrs. GARDE, who, happily for herself, is in the actual possession and enjoyment of other property to nearly four times the amount of the charges affecting four denominations of land, m a d e ever y exer ti on to I obtain a loan, at 5 per cent., sufficient to pay ' off all incumbrances. After considerable diffi culty a person was found who could be induced to waive the objection to Irish security, which prevented many who had been applied to from even taking the matter into consideration ; but it was only on consideration of receiving 6 per cent. on first class security, such as in this country would com mand the sum required at 31., or at farthest 4, per cent. interest, and the expenses of the transaction would have been so very heavy, that the lady was compelled to sacrifice the inheritance of her ancestors i at a most inadequate price. We may likewise mention i that it would probably have gone at a much lower figure, but that the bidding was carried on by a party in trust for the family to 2,150/. _ W e leave these unquestionable facts to the consi- ; deration of every unpiej mliced mind, and we fearlessly ask—do they not speak trumpet-tongued in favour of the cause we have conscientiously advocated ? If the proprietress were enabled to issue debentures to half the value of her property she could easily have procured 6,0001. at 4 per cent. interest, or nearly , double the sum required, but in consequence of the existing state of the law and the impediments thrown in the way of money being obtained on the security of " real estate," she was compelled to see it thus sacrificed. We need only state in addition, that another property—a ground rent of 461. 93. 60., issuing out of a mansion in Ste- phen's-green, in the city of Dublin, for which a large fine was paid by the present tenant, the respected Counsel to the Irish Office in Lon• don—sold for seventeen years and a half's purchase, which in ordinary times would have brought 24 or 25 years at the very least. And also, that since the above, the sale of other lands, "the Athen estate," containing 970 acres, and yielding a rental of 4601. 10s. 9d., subject only to a quit -rent of 1/. 133. 2/1., and to tithe-rent charge, 201. 6s. 6d. per annum, was adjourned by the Commissioners, the highest bidding that could be obtained being only 3,3001., or about seven years and a half's purchase fur a fee simple estate. Let Ministers then meet the difficulty in a fair and straightforward manner. Let them, as is their bounden duty, bring forward a general measure suitable to the emergency. We cannot see that there would be any very extraordi nary danger arising, if persons whose estates are en cumbered to less than one-half their actual value, or those who were free from debt, were permitted to petition the Commissioners in order to be allowed to issue debentures similar to those which may, if the present Bill pass iuto a law, be made by the pur chasers of "encumbered estates." The same investiga tion into title may take place that is now required before an order for sale is made absolute, and a Parliamen tary title might be given to the holders of such de bentures. It appears to us that such a provision would answer every purpose that could be desired; and if, in addition, the Government guaranteed the punc tual payment of interest, charging one-quarter or even one-half per cent. to cover all expenses, and pre vent the possibility of loss, as proposed by us en the 10th inst., the regeneration of Ireland would speedily be accomplished, and the capital so urgently required would flow to her shores. On this part of the case we invite the public atten- tion to the suggestion of Mr. WiLmoT CLIETWODE, an Irish gentleman of great intelligence and high respec tability, whose letter, extracted from an Irish contem porary, will be found in another part of this day's im pression. THE LATE HAIL STORM.—DUBLIN, APAIL 23. An official return of the estimated damage to prOperty in Dublin and the environs caused by the hail storm of last week, is in course of preparation by the police, and gives, as far as it has been completed, the following results :—ln ;our of the six divisions of which the metropolitan police district consi.ts, the number of squares of glass broken in houses has been 294,302, and the total estimated loss, in cluding damage to roofs of houses, furniture, vegetable gar dens, &e., amounts to 21,388/. 9s. 41. For the division in cluding Kingstown and the neighbourhood no return is ne cessary, as no damage was dune; but for the remaining di vision, for which the return has snot yet been made, one fourth of the whole may be allowed, so that the loss suffered would amount, in the aggregate, to at least 27,0001. ST. MART'S NATIONAL SCklOOLS.—Messrs. Hanbury, and Co., the brewers, have subscribed the sum of 50/. towards the erection of national schools in Spital square.

The demand, whether for cloth or yarn, ha 3 only been to a limited extent; prices, however, are firm. We have some private letters to hand by the last 'Bail from the United. States of America, which refer to the prospect for the planting of the new cot ton crop. This, up to date, had been very limited and un- ! favourable. It appears that an immense tract of land on the Mississippi is under water, and will not be available for cul tivation during the ensuing season. There is no change in printing cloth Ivorth y o f notice. Forty-inch and forty-five inch shirkings remain firm in price, and a considerable busi ness could be done for early deiivery.

Upon noticing recently the meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Compaq, we gave a statement from the directors' report, to the effect that an arrangement was likely to be cocci, d out for the transmis sion of the Brazilian correspondence, but it appears, from an official answer given in the House of Commons a few evenings since, there is, in reality, nothing yet decided on. We can only say that it is high time something was done, for of all our foreign postal services the Brazilian is, probably, the wor: t. The merchants have been complaining us long almost as our experience extends, and there is very little im provement—many will say none—compared with this time ten years ; a lazy sailing yacht creeping in ever and anon with a big of letters out of date, owiug to later accounts by an indirect route, and &ten through the United States. It is a lac, moreover, that the West India steamers are being beaten on the line for which they have long enjoyed the contract, and thus we constantly receive the latest Mexican intelligence by the Cunard ves sels. Doubtless the telegraph from New Orleans to New Yerk has to do with this, but we believe it could easily be proved that under a revised arrangement such would no loeger be the case, and that , an alteration must be made is self-evident, when we reflect that pas sengers from Jemaica reach England repeatedly by way of the United States sooner than if they came from the island in the West India steamers. The Royal Mail Company is based upon an ample subscribed capital, and is nationally important from the applicability of its vessels, in case of need, to war pur poser, but competition is the soul of improvement, and as the existing contract expires et the close of next year, parties interested are naturally inquiring whether it is to be smuggled forward without due provision for public convenience and economy, or whether a fair exa mination of other tenders will be undertaken. Twelve months' notice will have to be given, otherwise the present contract continues, but tenders were received fifteen months sire=s for the Brazilian service, and no settlement has been effected yet, a sufficient justification for what some may consider a premature " jogging" of I official memory.

Their Lordships proceeded with the demurrer paper to-day. The first case on the list was that of "Levy v. Mt/lan and others," but the arguments were of a purely technical character, and not of sufficient interest to justify a report. The circumstances out of which the action arose will perhaps be in the recollection of our readers. The plaintiff uas a suitor in the Westminster County Court, of which the defendant, Moy lan, was the judge, and the action was brought to recover da mages for an alleged illegal imprisonment. The plaintiff, it will be remembered, was considered to offer an insult to Mr. Moylan while on the bench, and was in consequence committed for seven days to the House of Correction. _ - The arguments had not concluded when we went to press.

He watched him for some time, when he observed that he appeared to walk lame, as - if his loft leg was contracted and shorter than the other. After walking in that way for some distance wit ness was surprised to see that leg suddenly restored to its original straightness, and the right leg contracted; thus he kept on changing his ap parent lameness from one leg to the other in remarkably quick succession. Several persons - who were passing gave ' the prisoner money, whereupon witness went up and took him into custody. On the way to the station the prisoner vi as very violent, and made use of the most abusive language. Witness added that the prisoner was a regular impostor, and had been several times con. victed.

On the order of the day being read for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. M. MILNES, after presenting a petition from the Philanthropic Association in favour of the Bill, pro ceeded to say he had been long led to consider the dreadful state of juvenile offenders in this country, and the cost and inefficacy of the means used ft om time to time to bring about their reformation. The Right lion. Secretary for the Home Department presented a petition the other night to the House, signed by .50 chaplains of the principal gaols in the United Kingdom, in which they stated that a large amount of juvenile crime might be prevented by the establishment of industrial schools, and an effective system of instruction. They referred in that petition to an observation cf Mr. Baron Alderson, to the effect that the expenses incurred in trying juvenile offenders greatly exceeded the probable cost of an effective reform, and, moreover, that their reform would cut off one of the most prolific sources of crime. The English law was peculiarly distinguished by its severity in punishing the offences of children. In other countries they were treated with more leniency by the law. By the old civil law, now extant, no child was punished under ten and a half years old, and between that age and fourteen they were punished in a less degree than in the case of adults. According to the code of Napoleon, juvenile of fenders under sixteen were left to the jurisdiction of a magistrate who was to say whether they:were actuated by discernment, and if actuated by discernment they were acquitted of the crime, and either sent back to their pa rents or sent to the House of Correction, where they were educated and trained until they reached the age of 21. In England, however, mere children were treated with great cruelty, for the commission of offences which in other countries would make them rather objects of pub lic sympathy and charity. From a return which had just been laid on the table of the House, it appeared that in 1848 as many as 10,747 children had been summarily convicted, and 3,276 sent for trial. Out of the number undergoing imprisonment in the same year, 1,389 were under 12 years, 639 between 12 and fourteen, and 6,710 between 14 and 17 years of age. Now if the effect of that imprisonment was to reform the children he would not have ventured to introduce the present Bill, but the facts showed that nearly one-third of the whole number had been re-committed. In 1848 the single re commitments were 880 ; those who had been re committed twice amounted to 954; three times, 458; and four times, 675. Taking the average from 1838 to 1848 of the trials at the Middlesex Sessions, he found that the re-commitments amounted to above a third of the whole number. At the Pres ton House of Correction the re-commitments were 56 per cent. of the persons imprisoned. Some very interesting evidence was given upon this subject by a gentleman to whose researches and ability they were considerably indebted, namely, the dmomis sioner of the Morning Chronicle, who held a meeting of some of the juvenile criminals in the metropolis, of whom he found that 5 had been imprisoned twice, 3 three times, 4 four times, 2 eighteen times, 5 twenty times, 6 twenty-four times, 1 twenty-five times, and a youth only nineteen years of age twenty-nine times. Mr. Rushton, the magistrate, of Liverpool, also gave them an instance of the working of the system. In the case of three brothers, one twelve years of age, the other nine, and the last eight, the first of whom had been imprisoned twenty-four times, while the other two were still undergoing a term of imprisonment, a little attention to the subject would bring the House to the conclusion that the existing system of treating these offenders inert aced rather than diminished crime. They were, in fact, brought up to thieving from their earliest days as a profession, and they looked upon the chances of detection just as a soldier expected a wound in battle, or a medical man a patient; and therefore be held that children so brought up being looked upon as responsible to the law was a philosophical absurdity. The very language of these offenders proved that they were ignorant of the criminality of thieving, for the lodg ing-houses in which they taught their mal-practices they called " The School," while being engaged in thieving they called "work." It was clear therefore, to a certain extent, they looked upon thieving as a justifiable occupation, and the system un der which they were treated when detection overtook them only served to confirm them in tb at opinion. So long ago as 1777 Dr. Dodd d escr ib e d the baneful influence of their prison treatment; and, although they had had many amiable and philan. thropic Secretaries of State, and persons like Mrs. Fry, exerting themselves to mitigate the evil, the system still continued as bad as ever. Under the present system the prison became the home of the adult criminals, and within its walls the juvenile offender was initiated in the perpetration of crime by the old offenders and in many instances parti es comm i tte d crime in order to obtain lodgings within prison walls. He contended that it was exceedingly difficult to give anything like a proper education or instruction to juve nile offenders in gaols. Mr. Shepherd, of the Wakefield Gaol, bore his testimony to the incompatibility of im prisonment with education. He trusted he had now made out a case for an alteration of the law. He might say in addition that out of 10,747 male and female children summarily convicted in 1848, 747 could neither read nor write, and only 235 could read and write well. By the Bill which he submitted to the House, he proposed that chil dren under 16 years of age should be dealt with summarily by two justices or a police magistrate, without being com mitted to prison at all. He also proposed that no child should receive corporal punishment above 14 years ofage. He made those provisions because the Act cf 1847, which was a step in the same direction, had been productive of beneficial effects, and from that time the number of juvenile offenders had considerably decreased, especially iu Edinburgh. His principal object in proposing these provisions was to make summary con viction, where it was necessary, of a character which would not contaminate the child's principles. The change which he proposed was to make parents enter into reccgnizances for the good behaviour of their children when they were found guilty of any offence; the parent was the person on whom punishment should rest if the child was to be punished at all, and the alte ration which he suggested was not unsupported by pre cedent. The chaplain of Tothill-fields Prison stated, that the great number of the parents of juvenile of fenders were ‘decent people, and that their chil dren were not unprovided with homes, but were generally led away by bad companions. This circum stance showed that by making parents enter into re cognizanees they would be induced to exert them selves to reform their children and to take better care of their morals. The Bill also provided for the establishment of industrial schools, where juvenile offenders might be instructed and learnt some trade or business, and seeing the success which had attended some experiments cf the kind in this country, he thought there could be no valid objection to such institutions. In France industrial schools fer young criminals had been for some time in existence, and they had been productive of the mos t b ene fi c i a l re- stilt?. he found that the reformations effected by the Philanthropic Society, which was established in this metro polis for the reception of young persons convicted of crime, was 75 per cent. There was a similar institution at Warwiek, where the reformations effected had increased from 45 to 65 per cent. It might be said that such in stitutions would give a premium to crime, by re lieving parents of all responsibility, but the same objk ction would apply to the present system of punishment, for a parent had only to encourage his child in crime to get him transported, and thus taken off his hands. He did nor, however, propose to take away the stigma of a prison, for the Bill required that a child should undergo a certain period of solitary imprisonment, with or without flogging, previous to entering_ a reformat or y asylum. fie felt grateful to the-House for the attention it had given to a subject dry in its details, but impor tant in its results, and in expressing a hope that this Bill would become law, he believed that he was stating the sentiments of the greatest por tion of the community. He would urge on the House the great necessity of educating those juvenile offenders. —(Hear, hear.) It was a Christian duty de volving upon the House. This Bill was really of so pacific a character that he trusted ho should have the cordial support of Honourable Members on all sides of the House. He believed, in conclusion, that this question was one of unusual importance, that it affected in a great degtes the future peace of this em pire, and he holed it would receive from the House the considerevion it deserved. Sir GEORGE GREY was not in theleast disposed to treat with icditterence the question before the House; nor did he think the House would be indifferent to any practical measure on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) The Bill now before the House contemplated the txtemion of the summary jurisdiction possessedby magistrates with regard to - juvenile offenilere. ThEi't was nothing more nor less than to leavo tho law pre cisely as it was under the Juvenile Offenders Act: iutroducod by his Honourable Friend the MemLer for Droitwich (Sir John Pakiegton).
