EX PERIMENTS by means of the DIVEN - ii DELL and DIVER. ties of the subject: We do not watt for the detailed ex , planation of the seheme; tel eYcprees bur conViction that tt pt'oject for founding new Universities, unaccompanied by provisions for admitting Roman Catholics to the offices and emoluments of the existing University of Dub lin, must, in the present state of feeling and opinion in Ireland, be a complete and signal failure. The eepe rienee of the Charitable Bequests Act ought surely to show Sir Robert Peel what a deep-rooted distrust of his intentions exists among the Irish Catholics, and especially with how fierce a jealousy they regard his interference in matters appertaining to their religion. Ile ought to know enough of the temper of that people to be aware that the agitation against the Bequests Act is a summer calm, compared with the tempest of political and religious passion which will break out, from all points of the compass, if the idea once gets abroad that he is going to tamper fur his own purposes with Roman Catholic education, Ercn for the wisest - and most honest measure he has some reason to apprehend a bad recep tion, from the strong prejudices existing against his Go vernment; but a measure neither wise nor just can only exasperate and envenom those feelings of estrangement which already make the government of Ireland suffi ciently difficult. It will not be a wise or just measure, as it seems to us, to attempt a provision for the higher education of Roman Catholics in Ireland, without open ing to them all the advantages of the existing Univer sity. Whether we look at it as a matter of justice or as a matter of policy, the admission of Roman Catholics to fellowship s , scholarships, and pro fessorships in the Dublin University, is the first step to academical reform. That University not only is at present, but will long continue, frost its antiquity, the chief educational institution in Ireliftil. No legislative fostering eta make a new University etmal to an old one. The reputation which attracts nambe,..e and the social influences which stimulate their energies when brought together, are the pro luct, not of years, but of centuries. It would be as easy to make a British Constitution off hand, as to make an Oxford or a Cambridge ; and although the Irish University is of comparatively modern date, it is old enough to have secured to itself', by a thousand ties of habit and association, the educa tion of the Irish gentry, and of the higher portion of the Irish middle classes. Whatever be the peculiar ad vantages of this national institution, Roman Catholics have as good a right to share them as Protestants. This cannot be denied upon any principle which does not justify the No-Popery laws and the Protestant ascendancy of the eighteenth century. Protestant ascendancy in the University was formerly in har mony with the whole system of government. Now it survives--an unsightly and monstrous fragment of an edifice which the legislation of the last fifty years has nearly demolished. If the policy of the No-Popery laws was wrong, it is the duty of the English Government to make all the compensation that is possible for the mis chief which those laws inflicted. Full compensation is impossible. Generations will pass before the wounds left by that cruel policy can be completely healed over. But to cure what can be cured is a matter of obligation. The :penal laws put down Roman Catholic education. They pursued with the most savage punishments those who dared to teach according to the faith of the people. The growth of a Roman Catholic university, which might have acquired from time a preatige like that enjoyed by Trinity College, was thus rendered wholly impossible. How can atonement be made for the wrong of the past, or what compensation is practicable for the depri vation thus wilfully inflicted, except by permitting the injured majority to share in the advantages which the support and countenance of the State has hitherto enabled a minority to enjoy. By adopting the course we recommend, the Government would be only following out the example set by the University itself, when so early as 1793 it threw open its gates to Roman Catholic students. It will be said that Trinity College is a Protestant foundation. If this mean that it has been endowed by private munificence, the statement is not true. The fact is, that it is a public foundation, its endowments having been bestowed by English Sove reigns out of public revenues. It is absurd to say that with such endowments Parliament may not freely deal, having due regard to existing interests. The power which remodelled the Irish Church, and wiped away at a stroke all the ancient privileges of Irish corporations, may sorely reform the Irish University. Or, if it be desirable that royalty should correct what is evil in a scheme which royalty originated, the charter of the great Protestant Queen max be adapted to the wants of the time, by a Sovereign who does not yield to Elizabeth in concern for the welfare of her people. The legal sup pression of Roman Catholic education gives Roman Ca tholics a moral claim to a share of the literary advan tages of Trinity College ; but if they had no such claim, prudence would suggest the concession. How can it be expected that the most intelligent and ener getic portion of the Roman Catholic body will be content, while in the matter of education their po sition is one of galling inferiority ? The existence of a separate university would not materially change this, for it could not, for the reasons we have mentioned, take rank with the present college. It is obvious that it could not do so, even under the most favourable circum stances, until it attracted a large number of students. Supposing numbers collected, they would be all, or nearly all, Roman Catholics. Is it wise to separate the edu cated youth of Ireland thus into two hostile camps ? Is it safe to give so powerful a stimulus to the bigotry of each party, as would infallibly be given by the establish ment of rival universities ? it has been said that Ro man Catholics have no reason to complain, because they may and do receive education, and take degrees in Tri nity College. This is surely a narrow view of the ques tion. Professorships and fellowships are natural objects of ambition to students of ability. If literary or scien tific talent be deprived of its natural reward, by closing up the avenues through which it might develops itself, it is a hardship quite as grievous and as unjustifiable as was formerly the denial of promotion to Catholic barristers or Catholic officers. The legal and military disabilities of Roman Catholics have been removed ; but in litera ture and science they are still unemancipated. Now, if there be any one object which a wise statesman would desire to promote in Ireland, it is the rise of a class of learned and scientific Roman Catholics, whose main pur suits, by bringing them into sympathy with men of dif ferent political and religious principles, would create new links of friendly union between the opposing masses into which the Irish people are divided. It would be no small object gained to direct some portion of the energy and ambition which are now wasted in political struggles, into pursuits more peaceful and more producttve of last ing good. Every motive th a t can b e p re sented to the cultivation of literature, science, or art, amongst the Irish Catholics, will do something to soften the fierce ness of political agitation, and to withdraw the na tional mind from its exclusive influence. For this purpose nothing effectual can be done, except by a reform of Trinity College ; and there would be no practical difficulty in combining such reform with an ample provision for the education of the clergy of the Established Church. There is one strong reason why, as a matter of prudence, Sir Robert Peel's first step in Irish academical reform should be to throw open Trinity College. Such a measure will not raise the embarrass ing question of religious instruction, as the proposal of a new university would. At the first mention of the latter scheme all the elements of religious discord will be aroused. A distinct provision for religious instruc tion in the tenets of Roman Catholics will provoke op position from very various quarters on both sides of the C to h s a h n o n w ei , ho ad w n fo t r h m e id e a x b p le eri su en e c h e o an f o t p h p e o } s ' i t t t i c o .t n or B m y ay il b l ought to the other hand, the proposal of a new college without religious instruction, will infallibly be regarded by the Roman Catholic clergy as a subtle contrivance for weak ening the faith of their flocks, and promoting infidelity. We f'ear that Dr. M'llale spoke the sense of most of his clerical brethren, when upon this ground, a few weeks back, he denounced Mr. Wyse's scheme of provincial colleges. But in Trinity College, the Irish public is familiar with the ftwt of Roman Catholics receiving a university education without religious instruction. To remove the disqualifications g cat r i o o u n n s d un fo d r er alar wh m, which those on thestudents labour could give n con trary, would tend to disarm suspicion, and would be re ceived, we believe, as a proof of real anxiety to conci liate. After such a commencement, there would be found far less difficulty in the establishment of a new college in one of the prov.incial towns, or in any further proceed ings which might be deemed necessary. two different and opposite lines of thought and re tion ate perceptible even to the eye of a child. In the New TeStament, and in the Common Prayer . book, we find a supper—a communion, and, of course, a table. But in the Romish Church we find a sacrifice—a sacrifice offered up—a priest, a sacrificing priest ! to offer it—aand a propitiation for the sins of the living and the dead included in that sacrifice. Now of these two distinct and opposite lines we must choose one. If we prefer to abide by the Scriptures and the Church of England, we have then a supper ; and. of course, we must have a table. Any one who looks at the Prayer book will see that our Herm tners carefully excluded the word " altar," and used the word " table," in a dozen places where a itomanist would have taken the exactly opposite course. And we cannot diverge from this plain course ; we cannot take back the " altar" without dis tinctly implying that we mean to revert to " the sacri fice," ." the priest." and the propitiatory offering" again. However, thanks to the care and fidelity of Sir Herbert Jenner Fast, this danger is for the present averted. Let this judgment be confirmed, as we doubt not it will be, in the Court above, and thus become the settled law of the Church, and a barrier will be erected against the efforts of the Bomanisers, which will foil their most strenuous exertions. the house directly after the surgeon had left it, and made a minute examination of the room in which the shocking occurrence had taken place, and, on searching the floor at the foot of the bed, found two razors, both of them open and covered with blood, one lying close to the left footpost of the bedstead, and the other between the opposite valance and the wall adjoining the window. Beside the spot where the first-mentioned razor was dis covered the officers found a chair, on which was placed an open razor-case, greatly disfigured with the recent impressions of bloody fingers, and from an examination of this it was now evident to them that the wretched man must have opened the ease, and, selecting one of the razors, cut his wife's throat with it, then flung the razor away from him, returned to the case for the second razor, and, getting into bed with it, afterwards commit ted suicide by destroying himself in the same manner. From the unruffled appearance of the bed-clothes, and the placid expression on the unfortunate woman's coun tenance, it was likewise manifest that she had not been disturbed by her husband's getting into bed, and that he must have murdered her in her sleep. The inspector concluded by stating, that a great number of rumours were in circulation, assigning motives for the man's com mitting such a horrible deed, but that the whole of them were perfectly groundless, as from all the inquiries he himself and the other officers had made, it appeared that the murdered woman and her husband lived on the most cordial, if not affectionate terms, were in very comfort able circumstances, and that it was impossible even to guess any reason for the perpetration of such adreadful act. The melacholy occurrence has created a most painful sensation in the neighbourhood, and attracted vast crowds to the - house during the whole of the day. The deceased had lived a great many years in the locality, and, together with their sons, who are in the same line of business in the house immediately adjoining, had by the propriety of their conduct acquired the respect and good will of all their neighbours. The bodies are now lying in in the house, und e r the ca re of the p o li ce , a wa iting'the coroner's inquest. CAUTION.

This interesting monster, whose reluctance to quit the dock at Bristol gave rise to so much fun, and at the same time to so much solid trouble, is at length quietly moored in the Thames—after her trip from Bristol, re corded in our paper a few days back, in which she silenced, by anticipation, many of those objections to her sailing and seaworthy qualities which are so ready to start up in the minds of the nautically-wise, and of that still larger class—the prophets of evil. .81. e is moored off Blackwall, close to the terminus of the railway, and nearly opposite the ship-building yard of Mr. Greene, where her solid mass of dark bulk—•its gigantic opor tions scarcely relieved by the six bare poles that stretch (with the name of masts) from bows to stern—appears LA monopolise the Pool. The vessel is evident an ob ject of unusual interest. Crowds of persons are to be seen on the pier, from the steam -boat station up to Lovegrove's Tavern, staring with all their eyes at the gloomy-looking leviathan in the distance. Others, more adventurous, put off in the boats that poke their prows into each other around the stairs, re gularly marshalled, and " taking their turns " of the passengers, to row visitors round the ship or put them on board. Hawkers of prints, too, find it worth their while to parade up and down the pier in the cold and fog, selling for id. a very fair engraving of the vessel, with a full, true, and particular account of all her proportions and wonderful exaggerations. We are not surprised that the Great Britain should excite this curiosity, or that such numbers should crowd to see what so many believe is to be at once the alpha and omega of monster-ships. The old waterman who took us on board observed on returning, with a❑ awfully pro phetic shake of the head, " Glad you've seed the vvessel, Sir ; don't think she'll ever be seed or heerd of agin I Tha sea's trouble enough wi' whales, and don't want to be bothered wi' no more sich big barges as that !" Now, a great number of persons go to see the ship with fore bodings ♦ery similar to those of the exasperated old tar ; hut most of them must come away with different im pressions. Nautical men of course base their opi nions upon certain calculations ; and to them the breadth of the Great Britain (50 feet 6 inches) appears too little for her length, which is 322 feet. The unscien tific spectator, on approaching her side, is certainly struck with the remarkable length from stem to stern ; and, looking at her ander the bows, the breadth does seem utterly inadequate. But this is a question which the different schools of shipbuilders will settle, pro or con., to their own satisfaction beforehand, and which will be disposed of more, we trust, to the satisfaction of the public after a few successful voyages across the At lantic. Those who may take advantage of the facility of the railway to take a trip to Blackwell, in the expecta tion of finding anything beautiful about the Great Bri tain, will be mistaken. If their imaginations have figured one cluster amidst the forest of masts and spars, towering high above the rest, its crowded canvas taper ing in light and elegant diminution to the topmost spire, an I swaying the " tall ship gracefully," they will be not a little disappointed to see only a long, monotonous, dark, half-painted, dingy, coppery halk, not moulded into shape like a good sailing boat, and yet without the abrupt bulge which the paddle-boxes cause in ordinary steam boats, and which, if unshapely, at least speak of hard work. If you look above the hulk fur your beautiful three masts with the graduated outline of their spars and rigging, you are not a little annoyed at seeing six naked poles, running like a row of posts from stem to stern, sad suggesting, in spite of the vastness of the sur,ace they cover, the idea of a laundress's yard prepared with props and lines for hanging out the clothes. When the ship is under full press of sail, the inelegance is none the less ; because the masts are not high enough to re lieve the heaviness of the long bulky mass that forms the ship. But, this first disappointment got over, there is every thing to admire in this extraordinary effort of huma❑ determination. The Great Britain has evidently been built not for ornament, but for use. She might easily have been made more graceful, and perhaps without any sacrifice of power or safety. her claim to admiration consists in her plainness and simplicity, the vastness of her proportions, the rigid utilitarianism with which not one inch of space is thrown away. There is an ap pearance of iron-bound strength which inspires confi dence. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT LAMBETH. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Carter, the Coroner for East Surrey, renewed the inquiry into the death of Diana liemble, alias Campbell, who it may be remembered was found dead in the passage of her house in Fore street, on Sunday morning last, under very suspicious circum stances, which induced the police authorities to cause her son, at present in custody, to be charged with sus picion of having ill-used his mother, and thereby caused her death lay an act of violence. On Saturday night last, about 11 o'clock, the deceased was observed is a beastly gate of intoxication in Paradise-street ; after which her son, the prisoner John Campbell, alias Kensble, took her to the Ship public-house, and after • wards carried her into the house where she rented a room, and left her in the passage at half-past 11 o'clock. Police-constable Whitcomb stated, that about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning last he took the son of the deceased into custody on a charge of attempting to commit suicide. The prisoner rushed from his custody and ran towards Lambeth-stairs, with the intention of throwing himself into the river ; he caught hold of him, when the prisoner said, " I have been the cause of my poor old mother's death—l have lost my right hand, and my best and only friend, and I will now find a place of rest for myself in the water." The prisoner was then taken to the station-house. Policeman 57 L deposed, that on Saturday night last he saw the deceased in Paradise-street exceed ingly drunk, and saw her fall in the street. Her son (the prisoner) was with her, and the son struck at a man for offering to render her assistance, but did not see the son ill-use her. John Le Groves proved that he assisted the prisoner home with his mother, and left her in the passage about half-past eleven on Saturday night, but no ill-usage took place ; on the contrary, the son behaved with the great est kindness towards the deceased. David Hughes—Saw a man, who resembled the pri soner, and whom he believes to be the person in custody, in company with a woman on Saturday night, near the Feathers, in Lambeth. She was an elderly woman, and the man put his hand out and struck her. She then fell down, but the man immediately picked her up, and placed her against a doorway. After this the man said ho did not care for any man in Lambeth of his own weight and size. He did not hear any threatening lan guage, but he seemed dreadfully cut of temper. The man seemed as if he struck the woman purposely. lie was very much in liquor. The evidence of Mr. Jeffree, the surgeon, went to show that the deceased died from the effect of a rupture of a blood-vessel in the brain, occasioned by a blow or fall, but he thought the latter was the most probable. The room was then cleared of strangers, and after half an-hour's consultation, the jury returned a verdict— " That the deceased died from the effects of the bursting of a blood-vessel in the brain, occasioned by a fall while in a state of intoxication." The interior is fitted up on the same principle. There is nothing gay or gaudy ; on the contrary, it there be a fault in the arrangements, it is perhaps that they are too plain, hard, and cold (so to speak) for comfort and ease. For this reason the accommodation for fore cabin passengers is nearly as good as that in the chief cabin. It would have been next to impossible to render them more plain. On the other hand, though or nament has been used perhaps too sparingly, every provi sion is made for the full accommodation of the passengers. The ladies have two sitting rooms, separate from the main room—a vast saloon, in which 300 persons can dine. The ladies' berths, too, are so situated as to give them the utmost light and air. There is a promenade deck immediately over the dining-room, and sheltered by the upper deck from the air. In fact, there is all that can be required by the most fastidious voyager, except that there is a total absence of that costly and luxurious ornament to which the public are now accus • tomed in large steamers. Visitors to the ship should not omit seeing the engine room, containing all of the machinery that is not boxed in and hidden—the life and moving principle of this marine giantess. The engine is of stupendous magni tude; the great wheel (which works a smaller wheel that turns the screw) spans nearly the whole breadth of the vessel ; and there is stowage for 2,000 tons of coal. Lastly, though not least in importance, people must be prepared with their 3s. 6d. if they wish to see the inte rior of the ship ; but its magnitude may be quite as well judged of by going round it in a boat.—Times. THE LATE MURDER and SUICIDE AT FINSBURY. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Yesterday morning an official communication was made to Mr. Bingham, the sitting magistrate, at Worship street Police -court, by Inspector Jervis, of a frightful tragedy which had been enacted in the neighbourh )od of the court in the course of the preceding night. The inspector stated, that about ten o'clock that morn ing information arrived at the police-station in Feather stoae-street, that a man named Joseph Barry, a surgical instrument maker, residing at No. 4, Luke-street, Fins bury, had in the course of the night before murdered his wife, and afterwards destroyed himself by cutting his throat with a razor. He (the inspector) immediately proceeded to the house, and ascertained the following particulars:—lt appeared that the only parties residing in the house were the man Barry and his wife (both of whom were considerably advanced in years), and their youngest son, a lad about fifteen years of age. The wretched man had been absent on business the greater part of the preceding day, and on his return home, about a quarter past ten o'clock at night, after sitting a short time in the parlour in company with his wife, with whom he appeared to be on the best terms, lie desired her to go up stairs to tied, and told her that he would soon after fol low her. The wife did as she was directed, and the hus band remained in the room below for a considerable time, apparently asleep in a chair by the side of the fire; but on being roused by his son, who urged him to retire to rest, he started up, with a look of peculiar wi.dness in his eyes, and, wishing him a hasty good night, went to his sleeping apartment, which was the front room on the first floor. The son immediately afterwards also went to bed in a room on the storey above, and on awak ing at nine o'clock on the following morning, and pro cm ding down stairs, he was surprised to find that neither of his parents had yet risen, as they were both in the habit of rising considerably earlier. He went up to their bedroom door for the purpose of calling them, but, re ceiving no answer, and finding that the door was locked on the inside, which was also an unusual circumstance, his fears became greatly excited, and on looking through the keyhole he was horror-struck at discovering that the upper parts of the sheets and bed, which stood close agairst the window, were completel,' satu rated with blood. He instantly hastened in a state of extreme terror to the next house, which was occu pied by his two elder brothers, and on apprising them of what he had just witnessed, they ran back with him and burst open the bedroom door, when they found their parents extend ed aide b% aide on the bed, with their throa ts cut in a horrible. manner, and both of them appa rentl y lifeless. On their recovering from the shock produced by such an appal ling sight, a messenger was dispatched for Mr. Hall, the surgeon in Paul-street, who soon after attended, but on examining the bodies, declared that his aid was useless, as both the man and his wife had been dead for several hours. The inspector added, that he, accompanied by police-constable Eames, of the G division, had arrived at HERALD.—" A heavy blow and great discourage ment" was yesterday inflicted on the Romanising party, by the judgment of Sir Herbert Jenner Fust, in the stone-altar and credence table question, raised by the Cambridge Camden Society. No doubt remains, we be lieve, from the known pertinacity of the party, that the qnestion will be carried to a higher Court, by appeal, and, in fact, will be fought with a desperation to mark their sense of its importance. But more than half the battle is won by this decision. The character of the Learned Judge—his entire freedom from "low church" predilections—and the care and attention which ho has bestowed on the question, render it exceedingly irnpro le.ble that his decision will be d i sturbed by the Court of Appeal. The Romanisers , however, do unquestion ably regard this pwstion as one of the last importance to their cause. An eminent Tractarian, i n a western county, was conversing, a short time back, with a neighbouring clergyman, on the dissensions in the Church ; and b e plainly expressed his re gret that so much commotion should have been raised about surplices and offertories, and prayers for the church militant, and other matters which he had sense enough to perceive to be in themselves of small importance. " But," said he, " upon the question of the altar I would take my stand. That is a point which we can never concede, for in it is involved a doctrine of first-rate importance. The momentous character of the suit in Doctors'-commons it is impossible to over-rate." And ho was right in this estimate. Any ono who con sults Dr. Cardwell's valuable collections, will see the earnestness with which the Reformers of Edward's and Elizabeth's days bent their attention to the pulling down altars, and placing communion-tables in their room. And the main step to the restoration of the mass —if it be ever restored must unquestionably be the restoration of the altar on which it is to be offered tip.

TlMES.—Great things has the Archbishop of Canter bury done, and great things has the Bishop of Exeter done, in allaying the innovation fever, and restoring health and peace to the suffering Church! As might have been expected, and was expected, and as we foretold, the im petuous zeal of the younger clergy, wherever disposed to annoy their parishioners, has greedily seized upon the latitude of Archiepiscopal tenderness for the lovers of change, and continued those offensive rights which the laity have resolved to dispense with. Small thanks, then, to the two prelates for the part they have taken in the matter—a civilian has done more for the satisfaction of the laity than either the Archbishop or his suffragan. The long-pending cause in the Court of Arches between the Rev. Mr. Faulkner and the Camden Society has been happily and finally terminated in favour of the former. The grounds of this decision, reversing that of the Chancellor of Ely, deserve to be read with the utmost attention by all who feel interested in the question at issue. Sir H. Jenner Fust has bestowed the greatest possible pains in consulting the various authorities upon which he he has founded the sentence now pronounced. Some ideas, indeed, may be formed of the carefulness and extent of his labours from the time occupied by the de livery of his judgment in this important case. Thus it is that patient deliberation, combined with scrupulous research, has triumphed over the fantastic whims and hasty acts of a self-constituted ecclesiastical censorship. In going through his preliminary details, the Learnt d Judge developed much useful information on the true merits of the disputed point. And certainly it is a most remarkable fact that altars are nowhere recognised or mentioned by the canons or rubrics of our Church. At the ere of the Reformation this was made one of the substantial differ. nces between the two churches, and thus our 82.1 canon is he eded " A Decent Communion Table," and, assutnieg that it exists in every church, gives directions for its being kept. in proper repair. The altar was proscribed for this specific reason—that the sacrifice of the mass being rejected, there was no further occasion for its appearance. With what pretence, then, has the Camden Society, in the face of such evidence, which it was their duty to have investigated, per sisted in setting a rector at defiance in his own church, and displacing the table which they found there for the altar, which is entirely foreign to our Protestant Church ? Indeed, for what one good or useful purpose was the change attempted, and why was it contumaciously adhered to, in direct opposition to the wishes of the incumbent, with whom l i they had no right to interfere—over whom they could have no conteol ? We cannot help fearing that among some individuals in the Church there seems an inherent and dogged anxiety to unsettle and confound all that is reverent and sacred within her walls for mere confusion's sake. Nothing can satisfy them but movements of a certain tendency, not merely unnecessary, but which the experience of each day proves to be the main-springs of endless contention and bickering. They appear to delight in raising questions of difficulty, to interrupt tho goodwill and good understanding between pastor and people. For thfsir very tender consciences on subjects which never before troubled any generation of their predecessors, we may give them just so much credit as we are willing to detract from those good men now gathered to their reward. They served God and ministered in his congregations faithfully, as we sup pose no ono will doubt, and yet they stirred not these evil elements of disorder as a matter of duty. Here, however, is a severe blow to the fosterers of all ecclesi astical novelties. The altar must disappear. Accord ing to the principles of the Reformed Church of England it cannot be execused anywhere. Either we are Roman ists, or we are not. If not, we want not their symbols nor their ceremonies. If we are to play the Protestant, but look Romish, would it not be far better to throw off one creed or the other, and proclaim ourselves at once what we are ? If we are Protestants wishing to be Romanists, why delay the result ? Why not vow fealty to the Pope and be received again under his dominion ? If we choose to remain what our fathers were, and what they have taught us to be, assimilation with Rome can not be. It is full time we knew what we were. But when the bishops are so undetermined, and the clergy so divided, what is to become of the laity, unless, com pelled as they are by the necessities of the case, they show a bold front, and avow their unshaken deter mination to check all advances in the direction of Rome? Already, we say, to a civilian are we indebted for the first impression on the adverse ranks of the in novators. Thei will not easily escape the truth of the Learned Judge s deductions, nor dispute the propriety of his decree against their representatives—the Camden Society. This is a good lesson and a happy omen. The laity must follow up the timely victory by proceeding in the calm, temperate, and firm tone they have hitherto adopted. The surplice in the pulpit must follow the fate of the altar in the chancel. Insignificant as a mere vest ment, it is no longer so when the occasion for quarrelling and ill-blood between a clergyman and his parish. In nocuous in itself, it is no longer so when the laity have reason to regard it as the ensign of a suspected party. Good feeling, therefore, at any rate, ought to influence every parish priest to abandon it, when he perceives what extensive, and too often hopeless injury, the con tinued use of it will cause. If this motive is powerless, other more cogent arguments must be found. CIIRONICLE.—Recent events have confirmed the impression, that important measures in reference to aca demical education in Ireland will be brought forward in the. course of the ensuing session. The erection of one, or perhaps two Roman Catholic Universities is an object which Sir Robert Peel is said to have in contemplation. We have all along feared that Ministerial ingenuity would be driven to this mode of evading the real diffleul MARSEILLES, JAN. 25. The subscription for the railroad from Marseilles to Toulon closes to-day. Nearly double the amount re quired was signed for yesterday ; the bankers, Messrs. Roux de Frais,,inet, agents for Messrs. Rothschild, have names for more than 7,0u0,000f. Notwithstanding the commerce of Marseilles has come forward with such promptitude, we much doubt that they will be able to carry out their project : they demand from the Govern ment a gift of 20,000,000 f. We would advise the Eng lish Company not to be discouraged, they stand a bet er chance than the timid bankers and merchants of the south. Our markets have bee❑ rather animated during the past week. Although we had only one arrival of sugars-namely, the Jeune Clodie, from Guadeloupe, with 214 !Aids., the sales have been rather considerable ; 144 hhds. Cayenne found ready buyers at 34f. in bond ; some Martinique, in small lots, fetched the same price ; 3,500 bales Bonds were disposed of at 63f., du ties paid, and a small discount. The cargo of the Syrius, noticed in my last, was realised at 3,000 bales, for home consumption, at 631. the cwt.. and 800 bales at 62f. By the Baptiste, from Jacmel (Haiti), we received 2,330 sacks of coffee ; little doing in this article, and the only sales were 140 sacks Rio, in two lots, at 40f. the cwt.; 50 sacks ditto, at 42f. ; and 460 sacks St. Domingo, price unknown. Cottons more brisk ; 476 bales American T. 0. fetched 58f. 20c. ; 50 bales Lou siana T. 0., 57f. ; 30 bales ditto 0., 67f, 30c. ; 57 bales Georgia, T. 0., 55f., and 10 bales Cassabar, 8.0., 70f. ; by public auction, 311 bales Naplouze fetched from 46f. 50c. to 50f. 50c. Silks maintained good prices ; 25 bales Persian fetched 16f. 50c. and 18f. 50c. ; 57 bales Cas travan, 14f. and 15f. ; 14 bales Salonique, 23f. and 29f. ; 8 bales Scelli, 23f. and 25f. ; 3 bales Payemboul, 15f. ; 9 bales Broussa, G.G., 17f. 25c. and 20c. ; 4 bales ditto, P.G.,20f. 50c. and 21c. ; and 6 bales Antioch, 13f. Wools have been in demand : 103 bales Adrianople, fine new, sold at 130 f. per cwt. ; 138 bales ditto, second qua lity, at 100 f. ; 265 bales Volo, at 85f. ; 94 bales of P hides white Constantinople, 64f. ; 22 ditto, grey, 36f. ; and 36 bales grey Crimea, at 35f. No change in corn ; 1,7000 hectolitres Polish were disposed of for home consumption at 20f. and 21f. 25c. Bills on London in demand at 25f. 55c. ; piastres, sf. 44c. ; quadruples, 84f. 25c. THE INDIAN ARMY IN DANGER. (From the Atlas.) The more the case of the 6th Light Cavalry is con sidered, the more inexcusable must the execution of the two sepoys appear. Had those unfortunate troopers been tried nine months earlier than they were—had they been found guilty at Jubbulpoor in December, in stead of at Arcot in October, even then death would have been a punishment unjustifiably severe, and their execution calculated to produce dissatisfaction through out the whole Madras army. For it is impossible to get rid of the ugly and exceedingly discreditable fact, that the order depriving the regiment of field allowance (which order produced the mutiny), was illegally issued. Thus, then, the regiment, in its original complaint, was wholly in the right ; those in authority entirely in the wrong. But to permit a delay of nine months between the offence and its investigation, and to allow, interme diately, the whole regiment, mutineers and all, to do duty as if nothing had occurred, and then to shoot like dogs two offenders, is an affair so horrible—a proceed ing so wholly incompatible with justice—an offence so flagrant against humanity, that the man who could per petrate it is wholly unfit for subordinate command, and superior command in his hands must endanger the fidelity of the army confided to his custody. However much, then, concealment may be, and we know is, de sir,d, Parliament cannot allow such conduct to pass by uninvestigated and uncensured. Inquiry into it by Parliament is the more necessary because, if we are correctly informed, factsfavourablele. d The to the regiment have been studiously i con regiment, it is stated by Lord Tweedda orders authorising the execution, was docas(iaftishaaefiirsevdagteiNnovenhreaantl ordered, at Kampte, Lion his Lord that it had ex sShaiupg urar,thaenrd insinuatesthecausetootiotinhniastihid:gisaessram,ti:sfcsac home.pee:d orde rs That dissatisfactiont rerti , a a ri and not thenid to m march prevail further is, w e fr b o e m . certain ; but a very different cause enassigned from that forthat it. in sinuated by Lord Tweeddai e has The Madras sepoy is generally accustomed to carry with him his wife and family ; and the 6th Light Ca valry was so accompanied at liamptt. When the orders to join the army of observation were made known, the sepoys of that regiment resolved not to take their wives and families further out of the Aladras Presidency-, but to return them to Arcot. And nut only were they re• fused the necessary advances, on the breaking up of the encampment at Kamp* for this purpose, but on reach ing Jubbulpoor they found them deprived of field allow ances. The former refusal endangered the safety of their wives and families ; the latter deprivation with drew from the sepoys all means of assisting them. Is it surprising that treatment such as this should have driven the regiment into mutiny ? Is it not rather surprising that, after such treatment, the simple exer cise of good faith khoy.ld have restored the regiment to obedience ? severity, Lord Tweeddale's friends tell us, was necra sary to repress mutiny and insubordination in the. Madras army, because those crimes were increasing its Btit granting (what we utterly deny) the necessity, promptness in punishment was, therefore, only the more indispensable. Terror could only be struck into the Madras army by punishment following the crime with swiftness and certainly, Delay, even for three months, would have defeated the object attempted to be gained by severity ' • but a delay of nine months converted severity into barbarity. But severity was wholly unnecessary, because for the mutiny and insubordination that have lately characte rised the Madras army those in authority are alone to blame. In every case of misconduct .that has occurred the cause has been breach of faith. The most docile of all soldiers is the Indian sepoy ; treat him honestly and well, and he is also the most faithful ; but subject him ter violations of contract—to deprivation of accustomed al lowances, to trick, and to fraud—and to all these the Madras army has lately been subjected ; and those in command, and not t h e se p oy, oug h t to be punished for the natural, the inevitable fruits of such treatment. One regiment of the Madras army is now, or lately was, garrisoning that valueless but deadly rock, Hong- Kong, in violation of the terms on w hieh it left India, Another regiment cf the Madras army which sailed for Sinde has been fraudulently carried into the centre of the Bombay Presidency, and is there deprived of field allowances. And this very 6th Light Cavalry was forced into mutiny by the issue of orders now confessed to have been illegal. And it is after treatmeet such as this that severity is preached as the only means of re storing discipline I severity without justice and good faith will ruin the army of India. With justice and good faith severity is needless. When Sir Henry Hardinge received, a few months ago, his appointment as Governor-General of India, the Chairman of the East India Directors, in the course of his address to the newly-appointed Viceroy, remarked —" At the present moment difficulties have arisen in our native army requiring to be met with prompt and decisive measures. We trust, on your arrival in India, those difficulties may have passed away, but Should you find them still existing, we are confident you will act to warels the sepoy with that degree of consideration and indulgence compatible with the maintenance of order and obedience, the first and paramount duty of the soldier." Those difficulties have not passed away ; and . how is Sir Henry Hardinge going to act towards the sepoy? Ho is about, so we are assured, to revive the practice—the brutal, disgusting, and inefficacious practice, of flogging, abolished by Lord W. Bentinck in 1832. The new ar ticles of war about to be promulgated for the Indian army will, it is confidently stated, revive the lash. And this—let the Court of Proprietors look to it—with the consent of the Court of Directors. Instead of keeping faith with the sepoy, his back has to be tortured; instead of doing justly by him, corporal punishment has to be re-introduced ; instead of treating him kindly and libe rally, the cat-o'-nine-tails has to be restored. Is it in order to prevent its abolition in the British army that it has to be revived in India ? If there be any truth in this' report—if flogging be about to be revived and perpetuated in the eastern ser vice, then is the army of India in danger; and from that danger it can only be rescued by the force of public opi nion at home, and through the most needful interference of the Imperial Parliament. ANCHORAGE DUES AT THE PORTS OF BRAZIL. A copy of a decree has been received at Lloyd's, an nouncing the reduction of the excessive anchorage- dues imposed upon merchant vessels at the different porta of Brazil. ~/ LIGHTHOUSE AT ARDNARMURCHIN SOUND OF MULL. A letter has been received by 7 W. Dobson, Esq., the Secretary at Lloyd's, from the Northern Lights Commis sioners at Edinburgh, announcing their intention of placing a lighthouse on the above spot, to be maintained by a duty to be levied on all vessels passing, or in any way deriving benefit therefrom. BRUTAL OUTRAGE ON A YOUNG WOMAN.— On Friday morning last, a most brutal assault- was made by two men on a maid servant, named Sarah Sewell, in the service of fir• William Otfin, Great Burstead, who prosecuted a nab:. n named Cheeks at the recent Quarter Session, and aga i n ; whom this young person was principal evidence. Akout. two o'clock in the morning some one whom the girl supposed to be the man servant, and who lives a short distance from his master's, called to her, stating that the farrier come to bleed the mare, which was ill, and that he wanted a piece of cord and a light. The girl very incau tiously went down stairs only slightly dressed, procured a piece of cord, and unfastened the door to give it to the party. One man then caught her by the arm, and the other pushing the door back, they drew her out, and threatened to murder her if she did not desist from calling out. They then cut all the hair off her head with a pair of shears, and having knocked her about left her probably, as they imagined, dead. At six o'clock, when the servant came, he found her lying in the yard weltering in her blood. She is row delirious and in a very dangerous state, but in lucid intervals- has made a deposition as to certain parties, who have been apprehended jointly by Mr. William Curtis and the police, but are now out on bail. The mare referred too was ill at the time, and it is supposed poison had been given to her. A fowl was taken from the coop by the same 14trty, and was found dead one field from the house, and also the hair of the poor girl, which appears to have b,-en carried off as a trophy.—Essex Herald. _ A BARBER-ors EX - TEDIENT.—There once lived and exercised his profession in the town of Ayr, a very dry barber, well known by the familiar name of " Jamie." Many an ingenious plan he took to slake his unquenchable thirst, and among the rest the following :—One morning about the Cadgers' Race time, he was famishing—for ho had been liberally supplied the night before—when an unfortunate Irishman came into his shop to be shaved, car rying a bottle half-full of whisky. Jamie scarcely saw the wan after he had got a sii:gle glance at the bottle, but he managed to place him on the usual chair which, by the bye, was the only article of furniture in the shop, fcr he could not do well without it., the spark in the barber's throat having found a grate ful use for every other article he had possessed. When the Irishman sat down, he placed his hat, and the bottle inside of it, on the floor ; and Jamie, hav ing fastened a piece of a towel round his neck, com menced to lather his face at random ; his eye all the time being eagerly fixed on the bottle. The lathering over, the razor was produced and carefully stropped and displayed with sundry flourishes, ac companied with several indistinct mutterings and grindings of the teeth, which rather astonished ale Irishman. Jamie seeing the consternation his man ners produced, suddenly withdrew behind the chair, thrust the razor into his pocket, and pulling out a redding comb, drew it sharply across the Irishman's throat, crying, at the same time, " Take that, you villain, for knocking me down on the street last night !" Up leaped the Irishman, and, with one bound, was on the street roaring that his throat was cut, and holding, with desperate energy, the piece of towel to the supposed wound. A crowd of people were immediately gathered, and looking aghast at the sup posed murder; but they soon discovered the trick. The' Irishman, foaming with fury, rushed into the shop to have his revenge; but he found the premises deserted. Jamie and the solitary chair had departed; and so had the whisky.—Ayr Observer. HEROIC CONDUCT OF A POLICEMAN.—On MOD." day, about four o'clock, Constable Mansfield was pro ceeding over Patrick's-bridge, when his attention was attracted by a crowd of persons who were looking in tently into the river, calling our, " Will no one save him ?" Accordingly going over to the quay, he dis covered a man in the middle of the river, and strug gling against the current, whieh was bearing him away. The constable, with an intrepidity which had near to have cost hint his own life, immediately ran down the slip opposite the River Steamers-office, and plunged, clothes and all, into the tide. He at once made for the unfortunate creature whom he sought to rescue, but when within a few paces of him he sunk to rise no more. The constable himself was by this time well-nigh ex hausted, and were it not for a boat which put off to his assistance, he might have perished. The name of the man who met thus untimely with a watery gras4, is Maurice Connor, a day labourer, who, it seems, flung himself recklessly into the river near Lavitt's Quay, after having spent everything he was possessed of. —Cork Southern Repo: ter of Tuesday.
