The late arriNls from St. John's, Newfoundland, fur nish us with the particulars of the wreck of two emi grant ships, one—the Rosebank, from Belfast—having nearly 300 emigrants on board; and the Rhydiol, of Abwrystwith, in Wales; both of which occurred during the fearful weather in the early part of May last. The Rosebank was a large ship, of 600 tons, and besides the emigrants, who principally consisted of agricultural la bourers with their wives and families, there were on board outfits for two vessels at Quebec, which port she intended to put into. The letters received state that she was lost amongst a mass of icebergs off the coast of Scalterie, and that providentially the whole of the pas sengers (with the exception of one man) and the ship's company, were saved. The party drowned was a man of the name of Finnis, who, in getting into the boat, fell overboard, and was not seen after. It is not stated whe ther the emigrants saved anything belonging to them; we fear they did not. The Rhydiol was lost on Sunday, the 11th of May, in lat. 47 30 north, lon. 46 30 west, the vessel being on a passage to Quebec with emigrants. The captain, Mr. Riddell's description of the loss to the owners at Aberystwith, are as follows :—After leaving home, we proceeded en the passage as usual ; experienced very heavy weather all the time up to Friday, the 9tb of May, when it came on to blow nearly a hurricane from the S.W., and in the course of the night came in con tact with a quantity of ice. During the following morn ing it became thicker—so much so, that at times it en tirely impeded the vessel's way, and jammed her up. Perceiving it to be dangerous, we tried to get back again out of its course but found it impossible, and in a few hours several holes were stove in the starboard bow, also two in the larboard bow, all of which we succeeded in stopping. About two o'clock on Sunday, the 11th, however, the ice crushed a large piece out of the ship's side, which could not be stopped, consequently there was no alter native but to prepare the boats, w hich was done in as quiet a manner as if there was nothing the matter, the passengers keeping the pumps going all the while. By the time the boats had been got overboard, and the women and children placed safely in them, with some water and provisions, the ship's hold was nearly full of water. In another five minutes it had reached up to the hold beams, when we considered it unsafe to remain longer, and then pushed off to windward, out of the way of the vessel, and lay there about ten minutes, when she settled down head foremost, aid in less than two minntes afterwards the only thing visible was the flag of the ensign at the peak, which instantly disappeared, and we were left alone on the sur face of the ocean in the boats, surrounded with heavy ice. We then commenced getting the boats clear of the ice, as we could see clear water close to us, and, succeed ing in doing so, laid on the oars all night, with the boats fastened together with a line. At day-break got a mast and sail on each boat, and made to the south, in the hope of meeting with some vessel, which luckily proved the case, fin• we met with the brig Margaret Park, of St. John's, Newfoundland, with passengers from New Ross (Waterford), on board of which we were taken and treated with the greatest kindness. The emigrants lost everything they possessed as well as ourselves. It is expected they will be forwarded on to Quebec. The Rhydiol was 280 tons burthen, and was insured at Li verpool. The Amount of Exchequer-bills issued to meet the charge on the Consolidated Fund for the Quarter ended April 5, 1845, and paid off out of the growing produce of that Fund for the Quarter ended July 5, 1845, after deducting 600,000/., paid off out of the Sinking Fund •• • —..

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sre,—The ready assent of the Minister to Mr. Hume's proposition of a national pecuniary mark of approval of the services of Sir Henry Pottinger, and the favour v ith which it was received by the House of Commons, point out this favourable disposition of Hon. Members as the most befitting possible occasion for making reference to the extraordinary, almost incredible neglect of a man, whose heroic conduct challenges comparison with the most meritorious acts to be found in the military annals of any country—presenting an almost unexampled in stance of self-devotion to his country, and her fair fame (which, but for him, had been most foully stained), un der the most trying conceivable circumstances, and what a gallant soldier ought to be ; therefore, by consequence, affe.ding a glorious model for emulation on future simi lar trials—provided always, that it be justly, generously, and nationally appreciated. I remember some years since to have read an account of this affair in the " United Service Journal," subse quently I met the hero at the house of a mutual friend, and now, after the lapse of some twelve or fourteen years, I learn that he still exists (and barely so), but that no substantial mark of approbation has been vouch safed for his surpassing merit. I have been at some pains to ascertain the truth of the following condensed statement, which may be relied on as substantially correct, and therefore I hope worthy of insertion in your columns, as a case in which the true interests of our country, and the morals of its army, are alike intimately involved : On the Continent never have I detailed the case, and its most saddening issue, that it has not evoked a burst of admiration, of surprise, of sympathy, and, I am com pelled to add, of contemptuous execration of our boasted feudal institutions, mixed with wonder at the success of our arms. " Mon diet!, est it possible ? Quel infame ! C'est dans cette fa.con done qu'on recompense vos braves! Est-ce pour eels que Messrs. les Anglais se bat tent si bien ? Je rends grace it Dieu que je ne suis pas votre compatriote !" Such were the ordinary ejacula tions. Our Gallic neighbours tell of "la decoration de la Legion d'Honneur," that would have been conferred " sur l'instant," as well as promotion, pension, favour, " sous l'Empire," and also now under Louis Philippe. At Berlin, this story has confirmed many in their pre ference of the regime of a single despot to aristocratic domination. " This is the man," say they, " whom our gooi Kine would delight to honour." At Vienna, " our Metternich is just, and never unmindful of merit!" was the Austrian exclamation—" he would have felt proud to direct the Emperor's notice to this man !" Thus, all men think and feel abroad, and how he seems to be the victim of neglect in free and affluent Britain, excites surprise in generous and lofty minds. The following is the case so strangely overlooked for nearly thirty years:— The transport, Arch-Duke Charles, laden with troops (in all 200 souls, including women, and children, and the mew), sailed from Quebec for Nova Scotia, and at mid night of the Ist of June, 1816, struck on a sunken rock when di that coast, in weather most impetuous, and fog intense. All hope of getting off soon vanished ; a %%reek the ship was sure to be. The swimmers—they who oft had boasted their amphibious powers, were sum moned now, in vain, to lend their aid—the beating of a distant surge giving some hope that land was not far off. One volunteer alone, from all those paralyzed and of fighting men, offered to explore what could not be discerned, and that one was Captain, then Lieut. Stewart. With a line around his body, and breakers for his goal—so oft the seaman's terror, now his hope, he plunged into the mountain flood, with which, long buffetting, he, at length, was dashed rock,dying only o ly w k h n i o c w h ; clung ' h a e gnin grasp tlP nn the a avtehartooafilrlemd him to its briny.bosom, whom the succeeding one hurled back again. For four successive times he thus was made the sport of the engulphing element ; at length a wave another with wave more friendly and gigantic than the rest (and far more pitying than his country since), washed him beyond the fetch of its antagonist fellow waves, stunned, shattered, bruised, exhaused—in part insensible, yet with a vague consciousness of the fearful horrors of that dreadful night, he lay as dead, and like a thing inanimate, under the re-action of his lusty efforts to escape from death. How long entranced in this mute dream of death ho could not tell ! but rising as from a sleep refreshed, though sorely bruised, he fixed the rope to a projecting broken rock, and aiming in the dark to coil it round, down was he pre cipitated once more to the foaming flood beneath. Again the same great struggle was to be renewed, for at such juncture no brave man has time to parley with despair , so desperate is the conflict for existence. How he came once more to be on shore found no place in h is memory then, nor since ; yet who can doubt that it is chronicled on high, his erranu being hallowed by its aim t o be the saviour of his country's sons ? To sum up all, by help of that same rope (at break of dawn this gallant soldier signalling that it was fast), the living cargo of that hap less ship egain trod terr a firma, and she soon after sank beeore their eyes. Yet, thus to be upon a barrels rock, exposed away from land—a rock submerged with every wind, save that which just then blew, gave but a respite from a dreaded death—and at the return of tide nothing else was looked for. A council then was called ; the valiant Colonel's proposition was (there being one small boat), that he and all the officers should first seek land, and then send succour to the men abandoned. To this but one dissenting junior voice was heard, which was yourg Stewart's; and when despair and shame, contempt and anger, fired the men at a suggestion so unworthy, be quelled the tumult, and enforced obedience. The first boat's freight comprised the chief, his wife, and some few more participant in his fears. The third and last time came the minim bark for the Adjutant and Lieutenant Stewart ; the former went, not so the latter. "It neve: Lail be said," exclaimed this hero, " that two hundred British soldiers perished de serted, without one officer to share their fate. Go, tell your Colonel that though death be all but certain, yet here will I perish with my fellow soldiers." The friendly wind, by Heaven's decree, continued still to blow for two days longer, when a merchant vessel sailing by was hailed ; the simultaneous shout was heard, and all hands saved. Now, for this exploit of saving British lives, he was entitled to a stated salvage, which surely in a cause so holy, and withal so bravely earned, no length of time can cancel or diminish ; but, in the dauntless message to his chief, and constancy to the forsaken men when death seemed certain, there was a thousand times more merit, for which uo medal, thanks, reward, promotion, pension, could be given without court-martial on the recreant chief: A reward, indeed an ample one, has been be stowed, but it was by proxy ; for, strange to say, by an inversion scarcely credible, the Colonel was promoted — was named a Governor and substitute of our most vir tuous Queen. Such are the prominent features of this case. There is not a man amongst us who is not herein affected and afflicted ; but most of all concerned is that most gallant band, the British Beyards—" ces preux chevaliers, sans peur et sans reproche"—on whose profession a foul stigma rests, and must remain until their brother soldier, nut grudgingly, but as becomes a nation, is requited. I have full confidence there are noble-minded men in Parliament will see to this, and will demand a strict In quiry of this case ; and if the issue prove what is here advanced (as surely it will be, if evidence be not sup pressed), then let the hero's name along with Pottinger 's be honottred, elnd meet like favour for his worthy deeds.

HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. By W. B. Sarsfield Taylor, A.M., 6-c., One Vol., Bvo. A vast deal of writing, good, indifferent, and bad, has been published during some centuries, about the soil, climate, and physical productions of Ireland; on the customs, habits, and manners of its inhabitants —their religious and political differences—the state of their trade, manufactures, and commerce, in various historical and statistical forms—but we are not aware of any work to convey a clear and full account of the state of intellectual cultivation in that country, previous to the volume now under consider ation. Now, therefore, for the first time, has been produced before the British people a description of that national establishment, wherein the intellectual power of the Irish people can be developed in its various degrees, called into active existence, and prepared for the various learned professions or to adorn the noble and senatorial ranks of life. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) The re se e cent startling disclosures of turf doings, instead of injuring er „ l4 ' ° 'Pects of racing, seem to have materially benefited it. The ~, ,` ,Les for the different great stakes are larger than ever, the at_ eart g ; 4l, ce on the courses is greater, and although speculation is not ti n) ' e : l on to the heavy extent it was wont to be in the good old b o l f e l e : uhth e e ° r l a o e n i e n : c alellish, still there is far more animation observe. from the increased confidence which the members • h _ av e in each other. There is one great feature which I can ruee:7ll) r emarking upon as an evidence of the rapid strides which viz : I t ? es like Goodwood and Liverpool are making in importance, Tair ei : at the various races at those places arc introduced now at P eri , ' 411 ' , , where formerly business was almost confined to the Y, Oaks, and St. Leger. The ' acceptances for the Goodwood Stakes being now out, and se man yhorses b e i ng in the market for it, I think it will be neither we: (lave or unprofitable to examine the pretensions of those lave already been patronised. Last year to this stake there w"crel2l subscribers, and the acceptances amounted to 5'2. Eighteen forent it . and Mr. NV , reford's Franchise,as years old, moderate mare, , t h e moderate weight of fist., won it, beating the winner of the r r ec • h edi, p Year by a length. In the present race, the acceptances h'lceed those of its predecessor by six, and as seventeen horses of av i e t been backed for it at this early poriod, there is every chance 2lb s b eing a good race for the hook makers. Libel, 3 yrs., 7st. was backed bolero it was known he would stand at '2O to 1 ; " ' e t l Y his name app eared i n the list of the acceptances , h e rose to 1, and h as now plenty of friends at 13 to 1. His perfor. oaf flees are too well known to require me to recapitulate them; suf. A ce It to say, that, with the exception of the Derby, for which it e " well known he was made safe, and the Ascot Vase, i n wh i ch was in close attendance on Sweetmeat, he has won without the il',lehtest difficulty every race he went f or. A s f or t h e wei 4 ht upon him, I think it is a perfectly fair one, and I should recommend my rea ders to ba c k hi m, since, if he does not win, he is sure to be a i at better f avourite before starting, and they will consequently be en elated to hedge their money without difficulty. Pine-apple, 5 / 4 9 7st. 314 , stands at 16 to 1. Ito also is nicely weighted , and as he carries 211 b. less than he did at Hampton, where Misdeal, ar ith an allowanc e o f 71b ., b eat him a length, he should run very fo rward.

As very profitable speculations, therefore, such works are rarely brought forward, but when such works afford sufficient proofs that they contain all the genuine facts which are required for public information, which can possibly be obtained, and when such information has been arranged in due chronological order, placed clearly, without any con fusion of terms or ideas, before its readers, then the work is looked upon with favour by the well-informed classes, as one more useful than ornamental, and from their being placed in the utility class, such works often become standards of reference for future gene rations, long after their gayer contemporaries have sunk into forgetfulness. In the instance before us, it is quite evident that the author has not spared either time, labour, or ex pense, in collecting and arranging the great body of facts which he must have been some years in ac quiring. The work is dedicated " to the educated classes of Great Britain arid Ireland," and is—as the author states—intended to embrace all the topics of interest connected with the only university of Ireland. For besides an account of the foundation, and a narrative of the earlier circumstances of its history—it contains copious biographical sketches of the prelates, states men, and other persons, eminent for piety and learn ing, or as poets, historians, and orators—who have been educated within its walls, together with a re g ular succession of its provosts (governors) and all the fellows seriatim to the present year—with notices of the benefactions bestowed upon this institution to this time.

The work altogether gives the best history we have yet seen of Trinity College, and at the present time it will be read with deep interest, for it points out the existing regulations of that celebrated university, and the benefits which it has conferred on a certain portion of the community, as if to guide the Government to a more comprehensive system of education, which shall not only teach the people well, but hold out academical honours which may distinguish the successful candidates for life.

The author, in referring to this singular cha racter, says— 2,254,433 H UNtiERF ORD SUSPENSION BRIDGE. The Hungerford Bridge is now the ninth structure connecting the two parts of the metropolis on either bank of the Thames—the Vauxhall-bridge being the extreme western, and the Thames Tunnel the extreme eastern of this noble range of public works, unparalleled for their magnificence throughout the. world. The fol lowing account is extracted from a paper read by Mr. Cowper before the Royal Institution:— " This bridge is for foot passengers only: it consists of four broad chains, viz., two chains, one above the other, on each side of the platform; each chain consists of ten and eleven links alternately, and near the piers of eleven and twelve. This increased strength is to Meet the in creased strain which takes place near the piers. The chain of the Menai bridge is only five links wide, and the chain of the Hammersmith only six links wide ; but the great breadth of the Hungerford chain (viz. eleven links, or about two feet) gives them great power to re sist the effects of the wind, and thus prevent vibration. Two brick towers, or campaniles, in the Italian style, are built in the river, over which the chains are carried, forming thus a central and two side spans. The two piers are in height ... The central span between the piers (being 110 feet wider than the Menai Bridge). 676 i feet. The length between the abutments ... 1,352} feet. Deflection of the chain ... ... 50 feet. Length of each link (7in. wide, lin. thick) 24 feet. Weight of each link ... 5i cwt. (The connecting pins are 4i inches diameter.) The whole number of links „. 2,600 Their weight ... ... 715 tons. The number of links in the centre span... 352 Their weight ... 352 tons. Width of the platform ... ... 14 feet. Height above high wa t er a t th e centre of centre span 32i feet. near the piers ... ... 28i- feet. (Giving a rise of four feet in the centre. This gives additional height for the river traffic, and produces a graceful curve, and..prevents any appearance of swagging.) The-section of the chains at the centre of 80 feet. centre Van is ••• ... 296 sq. in, near the piers ••• ... 312 sq. in. " A square inch of iron breaks with 27 or 29 tons, but 17i tons is taken as the impairing weight, i. e. the weight at which it begins to stretch; we have therefore, for the weight the bridge will actually hear -296 multiplied by 17i tons, equal to 5,180 tons, while 296 multipled by 5 tons, equal to 1,480 tons, is the greatest load that can be put upon it. This is taking a crowd standing close together to be 100 lbs. per square foot. The entire weight of the chain, the plat form, and a full load upon it, would make a load of about 1,000 tons on each pier, being about 81 tons on each square foot of brickwork, or not gait° 1 cwt. on each square inch. his Excellency General Baron Fagel, Minister of the Netherlands ut l'4ris, arrived last Thursday in Wilton crescent, on 4 visit (.4f a few days to ills IP4 xe ell v. ney Baron The chains are attached to large wrought-iron vertical plates at the summits of the piers; these plates are firmly bolted together, and also to a strong hori zontal plate—the whole forming what is called a saddle. The saddle is not fixed to the pier, but refits on fifty friction rollers, these resting on a thick_iron — plate, which is supported by a solid mass of iron and timber girders. The pier itself, being pierced with arches, may be con sidered to consist of four columns of brickwork : the girders, therefore, are so arranged, that no weight is thrown on the arches, the whole weight restir.g on the columns. The saddle is capable of moving eighteen inches each way, equal to three feet entire motion ; so that if either span were crowded, the chains would ad just themselves, and the strain be still perpendicular upon the piers, and have no tendency to pull the pier over. The method of putting up the chains was thus: — Two sets of wire ropes, each consisting of three ropes, were hung from abutment to abutment over the piers, in the exact situation the chains were to occupy,—these scaffold ropes, as they may be called, being distant from each other equal to the length of the connecting pin. A few feet above the scaffold ropes, two other ropes were hung in like manner; on these traversed two light boxes, very much resembling a carpenter's bench turned topsy-turvy. These cradles, as they are called, were connected together, and contained two windlasses, like those over a common well; these cradles held the work men. A barge containing the links was moored under the cradles: four men in the cradles hauled up a link; and whey they had raised it above the scaffold ropes, the connecting pin was put through, and the pin being al lowed to rest on the scaffold ropes, of course supported the link. The cradles were then moved forward, and two links joined to the single link, then one joined to the two; the chain consisting thus, in the first instance, of alternately two and one links. When this two-and one-link was completed, the scaffold ropes were not re quired, the two-and-one-link chain forming, as it were, a scaffold for the rest of the links; and thus was this bridge erected without any scaffolding but these few ropes, and without the slightest impediment to the navi gation, and without a single accident.

Sin,—You will oblige a lover of meteorological search by publishing a few remarks on the weather during the present summer. The principle upon which my conclusions are founded is simply one of comparison, connected with certain an gular distances formed by the planets and our earth, during seasons of peculiar tendency, and upon the in ference that like causes will produce similar results, the following deductions were drawn for Cle month of June, and published in the Cheltenham papers in May last:— June, to the 10th of the month, will be generally cold for the season, from thence to the 21st the heat would increase considerably, from the 21st to the end of the month considerably colder, and the results are so far cor responding with this judgment. July, from the 2d to the 10th, as the Sun will be in aspect to Mars, the heat will again increase, though no: so powerfully as experienced during the interim from the 10th to the 21st of June, from the 10th and during the month seasonable July weather will prevail. August, to the 7th day, will be rather cool for the season, but from the 7th to the 21st will be the greate,t degree of summer heat, when the heat will be of that peculiar burning power so trying to the constitu tion of mankind ; th cause to which I would attribute this intense heat will be the retrograde posture of the planet Mars, forming an angle of 180 degrees with the Sun, when in his nearest position to the earth. Comets are said to increase the heat on their approach to our system, and to produce cold on their recession, but having experienced similar heat to the present season, when comets have not appeared (but not so without the concurring testimony of the planetary orbs), renders conclusions from the former doubtful. September, also, promises flue harvest weather; the months of August a!:(1 September, as stated in May last in the Cheltenham papers, would be splendid for the harvest, tending to dry and fine weather. On this com parative system it is correct to state the drought of four months' cont►nuance was predicted in April, 1844, to last till the August following, and in June, 1844, the frost for winter 1815 was predicted to be such an one certainly not experienced since the year 1814—the re sult proved these judgments to be correct.

PORT 111AD0C K, JULY 2.—We were visited yesterday morning with one of the most violent gales from the S.W. that had been experienced in this neighbourhood for a long time. Early in the morning it was almost calm, but about eight o'clock it began to rain, and the wind freshened until about nine, when it became a com plete gale. Much excitement and anxiety were manifested at the Port, in consequence of the large American ship Glendoveer, Captain Parsons, which was advertised to leave this place for New York, on the 20th_inst., being at anchor outside. We are sorry to say that this fine vessel is ashore dismasted, and not likely ever to be fit for repair. It appears that when the gale increased, the ship drifted, and, about ten o'clock, A.M., her masts were cut away, in the hope that she could be saved. This had not the desired effect, and the ship came further inshore as the tide advanced, con tinually thumping at each rise of the waves. She has docked herself, on her beam-ends, high on the beach, under Morfa-bychan. The crew, consisting of fifteen persons, were fortunately landed in safety in the pilot boat.—Cc; narvon Herald.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ___ HER MAJESTY'S MARINE PALACE IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT. — Osborne House will soon become but a wing. The new buildings are proceeding rap;dly, and are already up to the ground floor; the new part will to appearance be about 80 feet square, with a large cir cular window fronting the east, and a terrace round the whole. Her Majesty purposes attending Whippingham Church,and the pews are to be immediately fitted up for her. The greater part of Barton has been pulled down ; it was intended to repair and embellish it, and workmen had'been some time employed on it for that purpose, when the walls were found so weak that they were condemned, and the new and old work all taken down ; the new buildings here are to be in character with the old. Moorings were yesterday laid down off Cowes for the royal yacht. The former visits of her Majesty being only for short periods, the steamers let go their anchors, but they have now re gular moorings, and everything appears as if royalty was about to make this its permanent residence. Yet this town was never before so dull at this season of the year, nor was there ever so many of the lodging-houses unoccupied. The meeting of the members of the Royal Yacht Squadron House here on the 11th instant is expected to be more numerous than at any similar meeting. There are several candidates to be balloted for ; the noblemen and gentlemen elect their members by ballot, but will not allow Members of Parliament to be elected so.

THE SLAVE TRADE. According to accounts received from Ainerica by the Cambria steamer, it seems that the slave schooner Spit fire, purporting. to belorg to New Orleans, which was seized on the coast of Africa by the combined boats r:f the United States brig Truxton, and her Majesty's steamer Ardent, bad arrived at BJston. She was sent to the United States by the officer in command of the Truxton, and her master, Peter Flowery, has been convicted of intent to employ the Spitfire in the slave trade. It appeared on the trial that the schooner was built in Baltimore, and was once known as the Caballero of that city. She had made One successful voyage from - Africa to Cuba, and had landed . 3 . 50 .slaves near the Matanias. She was then in. com mand of one Captain Gordon, who sold her to Paul Faber, a Virginian by birth, and now a noted slave factor on the Rio Pongo. Gordon and his mate, Turner, subsequently sailed from Boston in the schooner Man chester, to Rio Pongo. Soon after she arrived there Captain Gordon died, and the schooner.was afterwards wrecked. Turner, the mate, found his way to the United States brig of war Truxton, then on the coast, and gave intbrmation that the schooner Spitfire, then in the Pongo River, was the same vessel formerly known as the Caballero, and a slaver. He gave this information, as he testified, from revenge, in consequence of some trouble with Faber (who he supposed owned her) in not paying him his wages. An expedition of boats, English and American, was immediately fitted out, and the Spitfire was seized. She was found near Faber's slave factory, with a portion of her cargo, consisting of ten hogsheads of tobacco and some other articles, still on board. She was in command of Captain Flowery,. the defendant, and had been lying there fur several weeks.. By the papers found on board, it appeared that Captain Flowery had sailed in her from Havannah to Key West, end_ thence to New Orleans, where a bill of sale appeared to have been executed by one J. M. Anguerra, aeting as the agent and attorney of Edwin A. Fslker, of Key West. The price paid for her was 7,500 dollars. She had no register, but upon the bill of sale there was a certificate that she was American property, with a statement that she could have no register in consequence of having been owned by foreigners. There was also found a charter party executed between the captain and one J. Scorsur, by the terms of which the vessel was to proceed from New Orleans to Havannah, and thence to Rio Pongo for 5,000 dollars. It appeared in evidence that the vessel sailed from New Orleans in November, with a cargo consi,ting of 30 hogsheads of tobacco and some smaller articles. She proceeded to Havannah with Scor sur on board. There she took in some shooks and dry goods, and cleared for the Cape de Verd Islands, but she proceeded to Rio Pongo direct. IRISH NATIONAL EDUCATION. TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE HUNTINGDON SHIRE BOARD OF EDUCATION. Gentlemen,—The Warder of last Saturday hiving promul gated your address to the Irish Prelates as "an expression of your sympathy with the Irish Church at the present moment, in their struggle for the maintenance of a Scripture education for the poor," I beg leave to set you right on a most important and misrepresented hinge of the educational controversy, namely, the assumed mutilation and expulsion of the Serip tures ; and, possibly, my refutation of this sedulously propa gated error may have the more weight, as coming from o ne not imbued with the new-born zeal of a ministerial convert, but coolly observing the development of a system which, as cal culated to diffuse the blessings of general education, he hailed the introduction of with gratitude, and supported, ab initio, with steadiness and consistency. I have already, in many publications, proved that the bap tising of Scripture lessons, or extracts, " mutilations," is as contrary to reason as to fact ; Sellon's " Abridgment of the Old," or Grey's " Key to the New Testament," Mrs. Trim mer's Lessons from each, the Epitomes published by the As sociation for discountenancing Vice, and taught universally in their schools ; or the Scripture Lessons of the late Kildare place Society, were never considered obnoxious to the epithet ; and the following passage, from the preface to the Lessons of the Board, must, to any but those wilfully blind, carry con viction : ,‘ These Lessons, as the name imports, are drawn from the Sacred Volume, and are almost entirely in the lan guage of Scripture, translated literally from the o:iginal. When passages are introduced, not in Scripture language (chiefly summaries of some portion of the narrative), they are inclosed between brackets, and usually distinguished by being printed in a smaller type. These selections are offered, net as a substitute for the Sacred Volume itself, but as an introdue tints to it; and they have been compiled in the hope of their leading to a more general and more profitable perusal of the Word of God." I fearlessly pronounce those Lessons to be unexceptionable and faithful translations, and have used them in my own family in preference to the " Volume of the Book," on the principle of St. Paul.-1 Cor. iii., 2. A thirst for ascendancy is the bane of both improvement and of religion, and it is alike common to every branch of the Ca tholic stem ! It impedes both the philanthropist and the states man, has neutralised the benefits of national education in Ire land byits exhibitionsamengst the clergy of the Establishment, and threatens to render the noble plan of academical instruc tion nugatory, by its assertion on the part of the Romish eccle siastics ; descending to misrepresentation, it disgraces both, and impedes the best interests of the community.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen,' your obedient humble servant, E.

This magazine, albeit Mr. Ainsworth has ceased to be ht editor, still retains his name, ut locus a non lucendo. But, although Mr. Ainsworth has left, other and as worthy men have been found to supply his place, and this is, perhaps, the best number of the magazine that has yet been published. It opens with the introductory chapters of a new romance, entitled " Ehrenstein," from the pen of G. P. Itr. James, and albeit we have but three chapters, the author in these three chapters has managed to excito the most intense interest in the fortunes of his hero and heroine. We had marked out some exquisite descriptions of rural scenery for extract, but want of room compels us to forego the pleasure of presenting them to our readers. We cannot, however, resist giving the following exquisite serenade, sung by the hero Ferdinand, of Altenburg, beneath the window of his ladye love, Adelaide of Ehrenstein:— Wander with me, loved one, loved one, Wander with me, where none can see, Through the wood, By the flood, Under the greenwood tree. Wander with me, loved one, loved one. Wander with me where none can hear, Where none is nigh, But the birds that fly, And the timid and silent deer. Wander with me, loved one, loved one, Wander with me where none can mark, Where the leaves green Our love shall screen In their bower 'twist light and dark. Wander with me, loved one, loved one, And a tale to thee tell, Which, if thy heart With mine takes part, Shall please thine ear right well. The author of the prohibited comedy, Richelieu in Love, has also joined the corps of this magazine, and gives us "The Merry Wives of Stamboul," far and away the best magazine tale of the month. If it is not a trans lation from some unpublished volume of the " Arabian Nights," we shall be almost compelled to believe in the doctrine of the transmigration of souls, for most as suredly the soul of him who told the tale of the Sleeper Awakened at this moment animates the body of the author of " The Merry Wires of Stamboul.' "A Country Editor," by Shirley Brooks, is evidently a sketch from the life. The other article are all above par, and this is certainly the best number of Ainsworth that has yet appeared. LIGHTHOUSE ON THE GODWIN.—Mr. Bush, after having surmounted every obstacle in the erection of the build ing to contain the " light for all nations," is now contend ing with the greatest difficulty, namely its useful applica tion. The Trinity Board has the exclusive privilege of managing the light-houses on the English coast, and al though this privilege was originally granted for the public good, it has now, like many mor•, be come subservient to private interests. The elder brethren are jealous of their rights, they cannot brook the in trusion of a bold, persevering, and clever man succeeding where they have failed, and they appear more disposed to visit the offending party with their displeasure than to hail the suc cess of the undertaking, and to reward the skilful engineer for the additional protection he offers to the lives and property of our merchants and seamen.—The Builder. BRANDING TIIE POOR.—On Friday morning, be tween eleven and twelve o'clock, a poor halfwitted creature was seen in the neighbourhood of Finsbury-square and the City-read, followed by a " gaping crowd," collected around him by the odd ness of kis garb. His nether garment consisted of a pair of fustian trousers, having impressed upon the scat and legs, in black letters, the words—" Aylesbury Union." His body was encased in a white duck frock, similar to those worn by scavengers, whilst on his back, front, and sides again appeared in formidable black let ters, which no washing could obliterate, the words " Aylesbury Union." The bystanders expressed themselves in strong terms of reprobation of the conduct of the AyZSilury,.guardians in thus cast ing an unnecessary stigma upon - The following horrib l e sujae took place at Ram bouillet on Monday. A ciillai:maker, named Mulochot, having become much embarrassed in his circumstances, and unable to pay the rent of the wretched shop in which he worked, was threat ened with the seizure of his goods. He declared that if a finger was laid o.t anything belonging to htra, he would kill himself. A huissier having come to effect the seizure, Mulochot ran to a heavily-laden waggon, drawn by four horses, that was passing, and threw himself under the wheels. In a moment the vehicle passed over him, and he was a corpse. He has kV a widow and family. DEATH OF LORD SEAFORD.—This Noble Lord died suddenly on Wednesday, at his seat, Woodend, near Chi chester, in his seventy.fourth year. Charles nose Ellis, Baron Seaford, of the county of Sussex ; so created July 15, 1826. He was born December 19, 1771. On the 2d August, 175)8, he mar ried Elizabeth Catherine Caroline, Lord Hervey, eldest son and heir.apparent of Frederick, fourth Her only child of John ,Augfuosutruts4 Earl of Bristol, and by her had two sons and a d aughter. Ladyship died January 21, 1803; and on t he Ist October, 1840, his Lordship married Anne Louisa Em il y , daughter of Admiral the Hon. Sir George Crantield Berkeley, G.C.8., and relict of Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Masterrnan Hardy, Bart., G.C.B. The Noble Lord's eldest son, Lord de Walden, succeeds to the title and estates ; his Lordship is her Majesty's Ambassador to the Court of Portugal FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Thursday afternoon, Mr. Hobbs, a Custom House ollleer, who had been in the service many years, and had arri"ed at the rank of a coasting waiter, after visiting the Ramona steamer, in the course of his duty, stepped into a lighter alongside, and was about to get into a revenue galley, when the swell of a steam-vessel passing at full speed, gave the b a rge a lurch, and threw him into the river. Ile disappeared 'instantly, and never rose again. Search was made for the body, but it could not be recovered. T he deceased, who was a moit active and valuable revenue officer, was 33 years of age. Ile has left a widow and three children. The commune of Zurich lleugg (says the New Zurich Gazette) has conferred the freedom of that place on Dr. Steiger and his family. The resolution was COMO to by a majority of 126 to 5. It is said that he will take up his residence in a town L its the south of Francs. *Omar ANTI-MAYNOOT. H. CONfERENCE ' (From the Scotsman.) REPORT OF THE PROCEE!),INGS OF THE PR:N. TESTANT DISSENTERS' ANTI-MAYNOOTH CONFERENCE, held ;At Crosby-hall, London, May 20th and 21st, 1845. When this Conference was held, we were unable to do more than give a few short scraps of the pro ceeding, as our columns were then crowded with the discussions in the two Assemblies and in Par liament. We have since looked into the xeport, which is published in a neat small volume of eighty pages, price sixpence. We have read it with great interest, and only regret that we can not tell our readers in this quarter where to find it; for, strange to say, there neither are nor have been any copies on sale in th:s town. The im portance and influential character of the meeting may be inferred from the fact, that within a fortnight after the circular was issued, about seven hundred gentlemen obeyed the summons, many of them . from distant localities. This Conference must not be con founded with the contemporary assemblage in Exeter Hall, where a small number of Dissenters united, iu our opinion very injudiciously, with a crowd of vio lent Churchmen, in raising the No Popery cry, the primary political effect of which is to strengthen the " monster church of Ireland." It is time to strike a blow at the roDt. The cry should not be against Popery, but against the Establishment principle which corrupted Popery, and corrupts every sect on whom its blighting influence falls. The resolutions of the Crosby Hall meeting, as the pretkory notice states, "were based upun sound and intelligible principles; and whilst the religious differences between Prceestant Nonconformists and Roman Catholics were fully re cognised, and due importance attached to them by the Conference, it will be difficult to discover in the re port a single expression upon which a charge of in tolerance can be grounded." This is high praise, and justly merited. The proceedings were generally con ducted in an excellent spirit. The only very violent proposition submitted to the meeting (calling upon Dissenting electors to withhold their votes at next election from every member who had supported the ' incroased grantto Maynooth) was rejectel, after an ani mated but temperate discussion. The sober argumenta tive cast of the speeches, and the liberal spirit which they breathe, form a beautiful contrast to the noisy and intolerant declamation of Exeter Hall. We cannot describe the pleasure with which we read the follow ing short address by the gentleman who seconded the first resolution. Our readers will see that it. em bodies the precise opinions we have expressed respect ing the Maynooth Bill, and the project of endowing the Catholic clergy. We wish those who charge the Dissenters with narrow-minded bigotry would pe ruse it : The Rev. TuoMAs TOLLER, of Kettering, in se conding the resolution, said—This question, con cerning the grant to Maynooth College, has been to me one of the most trying questions on which I have ever been called to take any practical steps. Holding, as I do, in common with my brethren, the utter inadmissibility of all State endowments of reli gion, I have yet felt that, if ever it would be safe and innocent to depart from a great and sacred prin ciple, it would be so with respect to the proposed grant to the College of Maynooth. When I con sider the gross injustice which has been inflicted on my Catholic fellow-subjects in Ireland, especially in connexion with the existence of an opulent and domi neering religious establishment in that country, I cannot but feel that, if it were proper that there should be an endowed Church in the world, we ought not merely to grant them the paltry 29,0001., but to transfer the whole of the ecclesiastical pro perty of Ireland to their hands. And having done this, we should hare rendered them but a very mode rate compensation for the many acts of misrule and oppression under which they have for ages groaned. There is a further ground on which I should have been glad, if possible, to grant them this endowment. I am persuaded it would be the most effectual means of depriving their system of all its moral power. If the voluntary principle be right, then the most effectual way of putting down the force and vital influence of any religious system on the mind of its adherents is to endow that sys tem. Another consideration that made me reluc tant to join in opposition to the endowment of May nooth was this. I have some scruples with respect to political agitation, and the convention of lare-e numbers, with a view to promote any particular object we may have before us. Certainly I never could have joined with those meetings that were convened in another place (Exeter Hall) a short time ago. I hold in the utmost abhorrence that arrogant spirit which would expect that the Legis lature should withhold its patronage from the Roman Catholics, just because we tell them that the Roman Catholics are in error. This appears to me to imply the assumption of infallibility. When we endeavour to prove a thing, we depend, for pro clueing conviction, upon the force of argument; when we merely assert it in strong terms, without attempting to prove it, we rely, for producin g th e effect we desire, upon the weight of our personal or collective authority. But how can we expect our rulers to take for granted, on our bare dictum; that we are certainly right and the Catholics wrong, unles; we suppose they will concede to us a claim to infalli bility ? If we are infallible, our assertion is sufficient proof that the opinions we disapprove are false; but if we are just as liable to be inistuken as those whose opi nions we condemn, an impartial judge will, of course, before he receives our dictum, compare the numbers and other qualifications of the two parties. And, supposing this rule to be followed, what appearance would the evangelical bodies of England and elsewhere make, in contrast to the vast body of the Roman Catholic community ! I hold that all evangelical bodies, en dowed and unendowed, throu g h ou t th e wor ld, are a small company, compared with the whole Catholic, church; and, therefore, if mere authority is consi dered, the scale must decidedly preponderate in favour of the presumption that truth is with the Ca tholics, and error with their opponents. So that, I repeat it, unless we assume that we are infallible, we cannot reasonably expect the Government to withhold from Catholics any patronage which it is fit to extend to religion at all, merely because we, forsooth, pronounce their opinions erroneous. The foregoing considerations would have led me, if a great principle had pot been at stake, to have sup ported rather than have opposed the endowment of Maynooth. But high and sacred principles must never be abandoned. No considerations of conve nience or expediency—no prospect of good or fear of evil—can ever justify, or render consistent with an enlarged prudence, a departure from them on any occasion. Seeing, therefore, that such a principle is involved in the question before us, I feel myself compelled to resist a measure which assumes the right of civil governments to apply public money to the en dowment of religion. The resolution which has been put into my hands by the committee exactly meets my views on this subject. I apprehend that, in coming forward with such a resolution, I shall purge myself from the imputation of holding any sympathy with those who oppose the grant simply on religious grounds. It appears to me that the only intelligible and solid principle on which we can go forth in oppo sition to the Maynooth grant is the Voluntary princi ple itself. This is the only ground that will stand firm under us. We must go against all endowments of religion, in every form, as offensive to God and unjust to man. Were we to be silent with respect to the endowment bestowed on the Episcopal Church in England, and the Presbyterian Church in Scotland, and to complain only of that now proposed for May nooth, it would be like expressing alarm at the ap pearance of a pimple on a man's face, when you know there is a cancer which has been for years preying on his vitals." That our readers may be in a condition to appre ciate the speech, we subjoin the resolution in support of which it was delivered:— " That this Conference view with serious appre• hension and unqualified disapproval, the Bill fur the permanent endowment of Alaynooth College, recently submitted to Parliament by her Majesty's Govern m nt, and now pr, posed for a third reeding in the House of Commons; that, differing widely, as they are well known to do, in religious faith and worship from those of their fellow-subjects whom this measure is professedly framed to. conciliate, and attaching to such difference the highest importance, they feel it the more incumbent upon them to declare that they would not on this account withhold from others a single advantage which they should justly claim or accept for themselves at t kihe hands of th e Impe rial Legislature ; that loong to the circumetances which obviously suggested the Bill, and to the avowed opinion of many of its warmest supporters, they are compelled to regard it as a cautious but de liberate approach towards the establielitnent of the Roman Ca'holic Church in Ireland ; that, in their judgment, the alliance of the civil power with any form or forms of religion, and, as the fruit of that alliance, the support by compulsory enactments of religious teachers of any denomination, are dan gerous to the liberty of the subject, subversive:of the rights of conscience, prejudicial to the cause of Christianity, and offensive to God; that, under this conviction, they record their solemn protest against the Protestant church establishments already exist ing in these realms, as well as against every grant of public money for ecclesiastical purposes ; arid that seeing in the Maynooth Endowment Bill a further extension of a principle, every embodiment of:which they hold to be detrimental to the best intorests of the empire, they pledge themselves to make every legitimate effort to prevent its being passed into a law."
