Maynooth vote of last night. (Hear, hear.) There was ni argument for this vote, which did not exist, even in a stronger degree, in favour of the vote which they rejected las:, night. (Hear.) He looked upon the vote of last n i g ht ise one . of in aTli te importance, and one which would form an era in their future discussions. • Sir J. YOUNG thought that the hon. gentleman laid too much , tress on tile vote of last night. (Hear.) Ho re rretted the decision to which the counnittee had come, but he regarded it as a warning that ought to be a voided, in sfead.of au example to be followed. (Hear.) He believed that it was only a small minority of the country whi c h de sired to see public support withdrawn from all ecclesiastical establishments whatever. (Hear.) He hoped the com mittee on this occasion would not follow the example of Last night. This grant was one of old standing. The hon. member for Manchester had asked fora p ledge that it should not be increased. He (Sir J. Young) did not think it would be right to give any pledge one way or tk_ e lookingother. , and The vote came before Parliament every y ear at the numbers of the Presbyterian body, and their pro bable wants, he did not think it desir able to say for ythat an the grant shout , . not be increased if cause was shown increase. His own opinion was , h e owned, in direct oppo sition to that of those who held that there should be no religious endowments. He believed that if to-morrow they were to decide that there should be ' none • if they were to get rid of the grant to Maynooth, of theßegium, Donunt, and of the Established Church, instead of such a course conducing to the good of the S tate, the moral and social condition of the people would suffer, and not many years would elapse before the very knowledge and name of religion die out. (Oh.) He did not believe th at either world ancient or modern history - afforded a good example of a state which was not in alliance With . a church. The case of America, which was so much relied upon, was not one on which much reliance could be placed ; and he was cer thinly of opinion that the endowment of religion by the state was indispensable to the spread of religion and of re ligious knowledge among the people. (Oh, oh.) That was his opinion. (Hear.) The hon. gentleman (Mr. Bright) said the State muzzled the Presbyterians. He cer tainly made a sort of apology for the term. Mr. BRIGHT begged pardon—he did not make any apology for it. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. YOUNG continued—Well, the hon. gentleman said that if he belonged to the same communion that they did, he should have used stronger terms. He (Sir J. Young) did not know what terms the hon. gentleman would have used had he been a Presbyterian —(laughter) —but ho must say he construed what he said in this light only, that the effect of endowing a religious denomination was to bring it into closer relations with the State, and to make it view the proceeding of the State with more favour than it would do if it were not in such alliance, and that the hon. gentleman believed to be one of the main reasons why statesmen in general had upheld religious endowments. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Bright.) Well, he (Sir J. Young) was not prepared to say that that was not a good reason— (hear, hear)—it had certainly influenced some of the wisest statesmen. It was impossible to view the Regium, Donum as a bribe to the Presbyterian body—it was perhaps not more than a shilling a head ; but he believed that if it were taken away they would be greatly dissatisfied, and that the step was one which any wise statesman would de sire to avoid. (Hear, hear.) There was everythingto be said, as it a pp eare d t o him, in favour of the grant. Having said thus much, he would leave the grant in the hands of the committee, and he trusted the amentment would be withdrawn. (Hear.) Mr. COBDEN said the noble lord the member for Tyrone (Lord C. Hamilton) on rising to reply to his hon. friend the member for Manchester (Mr. Bright) was in that state of excitement in which he often found himself when addressing that house—an excitement which often led people into the use of words of indiscretion for which they should not always be held responsible. (Laughter.) Otherwise he (Mr. Cobden) should have said there was something rather unparliamentary in the words in which the noble lord had called his honourable friend to task for having referred to an anonymous authority in that house. His honourable friend did what every man in that house was in the habit of doing, he made a statement on his own authority ; and he (Mr. Cobden) had yet to learn that any hon. member who made a statement of facts which came within his own knowledge was liable to the charge of making anonymous or slanderous imputations upon anybody. (Hear, hear.) Now, there were two ways of doing justice to the people of Ireland—two ways, he meant, of doing political justice. Though they might ob ject to legislate on religious matters, if they were in f avour of endowments at all, he thought they must make up their minds to endow all. (Cheers.) That had been very much the case. Little crumbs from the table of the great Esta blishment had been allowed to fall to the lot of the Pres byterians, the Roman Catholics, and others. But now it seemed that they were to maintain the privileges of the Established Church, and that Roman Catholics were not to be allowed to participate in endowments. (Hear, hear.) • After certain recent votes in that house—after the vote of the previous night on the Maynooth question, from which he exceedingly regretted his casual absence— after the ex hibition of tendencies which would lead rapidly to the re peal of the Emancipation Act if some hon. gentlemen could have their way—after all this, he said, it behoved not merely Dissenters and Roman Catholics, but Churchmen who were disposed to see justice done to all parts of the country, as the majority of that house appeared determined that Roman Catholics should not have the smallest modi cum of endowment by an act of the Legislature —every liberal and right-minded Churchman—every man who went to Church, but was nevertheless disposed to do jus tice to those who attended other places of worship, must make up his mind to co-operate with those who were dis posed to abolish all State endowments whatever. (Loud cheers.) He would on that occasion vote with his hon. friend against this grant for the Presbyterians of Ireland ; and seeinc , that the house would not allow any grant to the Roman Catholics of that country, he would join on every occasion in anything which could tend to bring all to a per fect footing of equality in such matters. (Loud cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL--The hon. member for North War wickshire (Mr. Spooner) stated last night, with regard to one of the divisions, that he did not very well know what he was voting for. I am afraid that that description would apply not only to the first division which was taken, but also to the second, in which his deliberate purpose was to refuse a sum for the repairs of Maynooth College. (Hear.) I am very much afraid that the hon. member was not aware of the purport and tendency of the vote which he gave ; he may, perhaps, after hearing the speech of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, and that of the hon. mem ber who has just spoken—he may now, I say, begin to have some notion of the tendency of his vote. (Ministerial cheers.) I must say that I think those hon. gentlemen have exhibited the effect of that vote. The meaning of what was done must be read by the light, not only of the the debate of last night, but by a vote which was given a . considerable time ago on the question of Maynooth itself, when the hon. gentleman proposed altogether to abolish the Maynooth grant by repealing the act of Parliament which established it. It will be remembered that the house re fused to concur with the bon. gentleman, and maintained the act by which Maynooth was established. The effect of the hon. gentleman's vote of last night is, I think, very grave. It is this, that the college remaining the same,, the endowment given by act of Parliament remaining the same, the hon. gentleman says that the theological errors of the managers are so great, the doctrines they teach are so dangerous, that they shall not be allowed to have their windows repaired--(laughter)—and if the roof is out of re pair, the rain and snow shall be allowed to come in upon their beds ; until they adopt better opinions, they shall not be allowed to live comfortably. It was certainly a very odd vote for this house to come to • but be it observ e d it i n no way impairs the act of Parliament by which Maynooth was endowed. It was perhaps an error, but it cer tainly could not have been foreseen that the question of necessary repairs would be made an occasion of entering on the whole question of religious endowments. (Hear, hear.) But, sir, the effect of the vote has been to induce many persons who would not otherwise have ventured on that course of policy, to say that if such is the injustice with which one portion of the people of Ireland are to be treated, it would be best to get rid of religious endowments alto gether. (Hear, hear.) I must say that I think that is a very precipitate conclusion, and it is one to which I am not only, not prepared to come, but which I shall do my best to resist. (Hear, hear.) Although it would be un wise to propose in the present year, even if the forms of the house would allow it, any further estimate for the repairs of Maynooth, yet it will be the duty of the Govern ment to see in what way provision can be made for that purpose. The general policy of maiutaing Maynooth has been settled by all the states of the realm ; it is a policy which this house has refused to overthrow or to impair in the course of the present session. (Hear, hear.) At the same time, it is impossible not to see that the tendency of such votes as were given last night is not simply to express disapproval of Roman Catholic doctrine, but a tendency to shake the general principle that religious endowments ought to be maintained. (Hear, hear.) Now as I believe with my right hon. friend the Secretary for Ireland that religious endowments are of very great use to a nation, as I should be quite willing to vote, if there were an occasion for it, for grants to Roman Catholics, not only with respect to Maynooth, but with respect to other subjects—if there were any occasion for it—l certainly do hope the house will not come tolhe same conclusion as the hon. gentleman (Mr. Spooner) opposite. With respect to the vote under discussion, I look upon it as a vote in favour of law and order, and shall therefore cordially support it, trusting that . the house will not repeat its conduct of last evening towards the Roman Catholics by similar acts of hostility to-night to the Presbyterians. Mr. SPOONER would not alter his course, whatever might be the consequences. He approved of the principle of a State Church, but even probable consequences to that church should not deter him from what he considered to be a proper course. Nothing should induce him to give his sanction to a religion which he believed to be contrary to the word of God and completely subversive of good go vernment in this country. He should always vote against Maynooth, and on the present occasion would vote with the noble lord. Mr. FOX supported the vote, but declined for the Pres byterians to accept it as a reward for loyalty. Vote or no vote their loyalty would still be the same. Mr. HAS - TIE (Paisley) said that the vote was south ern avery small sum compared to the thousands spent in counties of Ireland to keep the p eo pl e i n or d er . He should COT tainly vote in favour of it. , Mr. MAGUIRE defended the south of Ireland, and said that the committee on crime and outrage had given the bad eminence to tho northern provinces. He did not mean, however, to taunt the Presbyterians on that account. Hav ing complained of the mischief caused by Lord J. Russell's " :Durham letter," the hon. member concluded by stating his intention to vote for the grant. Il M had nevr. M. O'CONNELL s h ould vote against the grant. e er voted for the Maynooth grant, except once, and that WU on th e motion of the hon. member for North Warwickshire. Mr. NEWDECI-A-TE who spoke amid loud and repeated cries of " divide !" WaR understo o d to say that he could perceive no change in the feelings of members of the house as to the necessity of religious endowments, either on the ere side or the other. The view of the hon. member for the West Riding as to political justice, no r to dermide those institutions which conducted to peace, der, and the well being of the country. He (Mr. Newdegate) had opposed the Maynooth grant because he believed it did not conduce to slat result, but festrongly that th e Presbyterian g" -1 tnt 3 Mr. M`MAIION wished to call attention to the fact that the committee had not divided on the previous religious grants passed during the evening relating to the colonies, and by dividing on this they wore carrying out the illus. tration of their principle towards Ireland alone. Tho committee divided— Ayes No-c 3 181 46 Majority. 135 The vote was then passod, and the house resumed. HACKNEY CARRIAGES BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. On the Ist clause, Lord D. STUART asked his bon, friend who had charge of this bill whether he would proceed with the bill at that hour.? (" Yes," and "Go on.") He (Lord D. Stuart) had somo amendments to propose, and on one of them he should take the sense of the committee. (" Go on.") Well, then, he would proceed to state some objections to the first clause. The noble lord then stated his objectie to the power which was given to the Commissioners of Police on the licensing and inspection of hackney carriages, and that without any power of appeal, and contended ti:at it was never intended to give such judicial powers to the Com missioners of Police ; but that their functions were to be wholly ministerial. An appeal to Quarter Sessions had been objected to, and he would, therefore, propose an ap peal to a county court, as causing less delay. This he would submit as an amendment to clause 2. Mr. HINDLEY moved an amendment with the view of establishing two classes of cabs in the metropolis, a first class and a second class, the fare of the former to be at the rate of 9d. a mile, and that of the latter at 6d. At the suggestion of Mr. FITZROY, the hon. member withdrew his amendment until the bringing up of the report. After a few words from Mr. B. CARTER, Colonel KNOX said that the great principle in his opi nion was to have one tariff, and one tariff only. (Hear.) He had been credibly informed that there were companies now ready to start the best cabs and horses at the rate of 6d. a mile. The experiment had been tried already, but it had been defeated by a combination of the cab drivers. Clause 1 was then agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. HINDiEY proposed an amendment, the effect of which would be to render the owners of cabs liable to an immediate withdrawal of their licence on the eab or horse being found in a state unfit for use, without the preliminary warning provided by the clause. The amendment was negatived without a division. Lord DUDLEY STUART moved a proviso, giving a power of appeal to a county-court judge against the deci sion of any commissioner of police who may have suspended or withdrawn a licence. Mr. FITZROY objected to an appeal to a county-court judge, but expressed himself willing to insert words re quiring the commissioners of police to report every case of the suspension of a licence to one of her Majesty's prin cipal Secretaries of State, stating the grounds of his decision, After a few words from Colonel KNOX, tho committee divided upon Lord Dudley Stuart's amendment, when the numbers were— For the amendment Against it Majority -60 The amendment was therefore lost, and the clause was then agreed to. Clauses 3 to 9, inclusive, were agreed to without oppo sition. On clause 10, enacting that a hackney cab driver should carry a " reasonable amount of luggage" without extra charge, Mr. WALPOLE asked what was meant by " a reason able amount of luggage ?" Mr. FITZROY said that must be left to the decision of a police magistrate, in case of any dispute. He found these words existing in the local acts relating to this sub ject in the large towns. He thought it would be best to leave the matter thus, than to fix the precise weight of luggage which was to be carried. • The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses of the bill were then agreed to. The house then resumed, and the bill was ordered to be reported on Monday next. BERWICK ELECTION. Sir W. JOLLIFFE moved that the minutes of the evi dence taken before the select committee on the Berwick upon-Tweed election be printed. The honourable baronet also suggested that the honourable member for Bridport (Mr. Mitchell) should leave to the general committee of elections the nomination of the members to serve on the select committee in the case of this borough, which was obtained at the instance of the honourable member pre vious to the Whitsuntide recess. Mr. MITCHELL said he had no objection to leave the nomination of the committee to the general committee of elections, provided the honourable baronet (Sir W. Jolliffe) made a motion to that effect on Monday next ; but in the event of his failing to do that, he (Mr. Mitchell) would nominate the committee himself. The motion was agreed to, and the house adjourned at half-past two o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVSHON. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MAY 20.

CRICKET. MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v. THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. This annual match was commenced at Cambridge on Thursday, when, as usual, there was a l arge assem bl age of spectators, and it may be added, some very fine play, a son of the late Mr. Ward heading the score by a hands of 53.

The Estates of the Gaspe Fishing Company in Lower Canada are positively to be sold by auction on Thursday, June 2nd. There are four district properties, comprising 132,000 acres, with numerous buildings, im mediately on the banks of the Bay of Chalours, where the finest fishing in the world is known to be. In these days of emigration and enterprise this particular spot offers the strongest inducements for the establishment of a British Settlement, the lands being well covered with timber, of the finest growth, and the profit s ar i s i ng f rom th e fishery will soon enable the owners to cultivate the lands, and add its produce to the exportation of the fish, which commands the best market in the Mediterranean. The vast territory of the Western Australian Land Company will be positively sold by auction on Tues day, the 31st inst. The particulars and plan of these large possessions aro now published ; the two principal lots offer the means of establishing a company with every certainty of success, all the necessary details and a rrangement s bei n g prepared for immediate action ; all that is required are enterprise, some little knowledge, and money, but not much of the latter is now necessary. THE GRFIAT FIRE IN LIVERPOOL.— The Nortlishore cotton-mills, destroyed by fire on Tuesday night, in cluding machinery, which was of the most valuable de scription, and cotton, are valued at 102,0001. One shed, containing a considerable quantity of cotton, valued at about 20,0001., was saved from destruction. Besides this, the owners are insured to the amount of 32,0001., so that their actual losS is about 50,000/.

LYSTITUTIOX OP CIVIL EXGINEERS. At the last meeting of this society, Joseph Locke Esq., M.P.. vice-president, in the chair. The first paper read was "On the Caloric En gine," by Mr. C. Manby, M. Inst. C.E. (secretary.) At meetings of the Socidt4 d'Encouragement pour l'lndustrie Nationale on the 26th January, 1852, and of the Acaddmic des Sciences, on the 2d Fe bruary of the same year, M. Galy-Cazalat entered upon an examination of the principle of Ericsson's caloric engine, assuming it to be composed of parts analogous to a non-condensing steam-engine. After describing these component parts and their several uses and rela tive bearings, he gaVe the following quotation from Ericsson's English Patent of December 26, 1850. " The invention consists in producing motive power by the application of caloric to atmospheric air, or other permanent gases, or fluids, susceptible of con siderable expansion, by the increase of temperature— the mode of applying the caloric being such, that after having caused the expansion, or dilitation which pro duces the motive power, the caloric is transferred to cer tain metallic substances, and again re-transferred from these substances to the acting medium, at certain in tervals, or at each successive stroke of the motive en gine ; the principal supply of caloric being thereby ren dered independent of combustion, or consumption of fuel accordingly, whilst in the steam-engine the caloric is constantly wasted, by being passed into the con denser, or by being carried off into the atmosphere. In the improved engine the caloric is employed over and over again, enabling me to dispense with the employment of combustibles, excepting for the pur pose of restoring the heat lost by the expansion of the acting medium, and that lost by radiation also for the purpose of making good the small deficiency unavoidable in the transfer of the caloric." These passages would have led to the idea of a perpetual motion, but that the well-known law governing the elastic force of gases at various temperatures demon strated the erroneous principle on which the presumed economy of the caloric engine was based. It was con tended that if the degree of elastic force of a gas was directly proportioned to the amount of caloric combined with it, a certain mechanical power must be exerted to abstract that caloric from the gas, and no filter could re tain any portion, without opposing such 'a degree of resistance as would destroy the economy. Arguing upon the generally received dimensions of Ericsson's engine, it was demonstrated, in order to arrive even at a less amount of economy of fuel than had been claimed for the machine, it was requisite that the air, leaving the cylinder, should traverse the meshes of the metallic web in the " regenerator," without cooling by expansion, or in other words, preserving the elastic force of two at mospheres' primarily possessed by it, in th e wor ki ng cylinder. But this force, being reduced to the sum of the resistances of the atmosphere and of the " regene rator," the sensible heat was reduced by the amount employed in expanding the air, without being usefully transmitted to the metallic web. The result was that the escaping air carried off almost all its latent heat, expanding into nearly twice its previous volume, the Insignificant portion of sensible heat imparted to the- metallic web being proportioned to the weight and bulk of the metal, and corresponding with the diminution of the volume of air. It was argued, also, that in practice the caloric engine would be more simple and economical if the " regenerator" was suppressed, and a greater extent of heating surface was given to the air vessels ; as the surface was now so small, that two-thirds of the fuel were uselessly con sumed, therefore that any present apparent economy could only be made on one-third of the fuel effectively employed. Quotations were given, from a letter addressed by M. Regnault to Colonel Sabine, Treas. Royal Society (dated April, 1853), in which he stated that he was about to publish, immediately, a series of elaborate experimental researches on various subjects connected with the effects of heat on elastic fluids, the results of which would solve many questions long in dispute, and by means of which engineers might accurately calculate the effect of a given amount of fuel, in whatever way it was applied. M. Regnault communicated, in anticipation, that he had arrived at the number 0.237 for the specific heat of air at constant pressure, and at 0.475 for that of steam under atmospheric elasticity, the specific heat of water being taken in each case as unity. The next paper read was "On the Principle of the Caloric or Hot Air Engine," by Mr. J. Leslie, M. Inst. C.E. The main objects of the author were to show that the "regenerator," or, as he contended it should be called, the " economiser," was based on the cor rect principle of the rapid equalisation of temperature of two bodies of unequal temperature, when brought into contact, and that it was practically produc tive of economy of fuel ; that the date of the produc tion of Stirling's air engine was antecedent to that of Ericsson ; and that the former was decidedly superior to the latter, in the general arrangement, in the details of construction, and in the general efficiency. If it was admitted that the wire gauze, or thin plates, did absorb the heat, in the passage of the air in one direction, and give it out again on its return, it was contended at some length that there must be economy of heat, unless the mechanical power required to drive the air through and between the metallic webs in the regenerator was greater than the advantage to be derived from the al ternate heating and cooling. It was contended, that the required force was, in reality, very insignificant—that it did not increase in proportion as the density of the air was augmented—and that by the removal of the regene rator the air engine would lose its power and its eco nomy. That Stirling's air engine, at Dundee, did act efficiently, for some years, 'and was only at last aban doned from the difficulty of preventing the bottoms of the air vessels from being destroyed by the direct action of the fire. The apparatus called " Jeffrey's Respira tor " was instanced as an analogous application of the alternate heating "and cooling of air, in its passage between metallic surfaces. It was contended that to Dr. Stirling was due the merit of the invention of the economising process, on which the air engine was based, whilst to his brother—Mr. James Stirling— (M. Instft. C. E.), must be conceded the practical reduction of the bulk of the engine, by using compressed air, the latter improvement having been patented in 1827, and with other ameliorations in 1840 ; that Stir ling's engine was more compact than Ericsson's, and occupied less space, owing to the use of air compressed to seven or ten atmospheres, which increased the power of the machine directly in the ratio of the density of the air ; and that, in Stirling's engine, the working cylinder being a separate apparatus, connected only with the cool end of the air vessels, it never became heated to such an extent as to occasion the difficulty of lubricating which had proved so prejudicial in Ericsson's and other engines. Ericsson's new engine was next examined, and was shown to be the primitive air engine, with the addition of Stirling's respirator (or regenerator), and it was argued, that while (theoretically) it was somewhat supe rior, it must (practically) be considered as much inferior to Stirling's engine, in consequence of the heated working cylinder, the low working pressure, which was shown not to exceed 1-1-lbs. average pressure, upon the up and down stroke of the working piston, and the utter inadequacy of heating surface, which was limited to the bottom area of the working cylinder and the pas sage leading to the regenerator. The president's conversuzione was announced to be held on Tuesday, May 31, and members requested to co-operate, in sending models, &c., for exhibition. METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON 1853. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The new year was ushered in with blustering wind and rain, which continued the greater part of the month, with thunder on the sth and 11th ; the last four days the atmosphere became colder; the temperature on the whole was above the average.—February : The winter winds set in from the N.E. with great severity ; heavy falls of snow on the east coast on the 11th, 12th, 17th, 23d, 24th, and 27th, the air acting with inclement force, the wind at times blowing a gale, which occa sioned much damage to the shipping.—March was changeable ; from the sth to 11th thick hazy weather, with a thaw; the 11th to 13th was mostly fair and clear; then a return of cold N.B. wind, with frost and snow Showers until the end of the month.—April was very changeable, wind shifting continually ; thunder on the 7th ; then cold and squally, wind N.W. to N.E. ; heavy thunder-storm passed over Norfolk ; the next day our coast was visited by one of the heaviest gales from the N.E. to N.N.E. (moon being in Perigee 24th day) that has been witnessed this season—the wind blowing at times a perfect hurricane, very unusual at so late a period ; much damage was done to the shipping in our locality, and losz of some lives.—May (the present month) will be cold and winterly ; the 7th and Bth were stormy, with hail and very keen wind ; the 15th to 18th will be cold and blustering ; the nights are still frosty, the current of the wind moving rapidly at times from the pole towards the equator ; 25th, 28th, rain, with thunder in places. This cold weather will remain until the 2d of June. The sun is fast advancing to its gi eat est boreal limit ; its right ascension from the first point of Aries is 47 deg. 24 min., and its northern declination 17 deg. 40 min. The atmosphere is continually full of cold aqueous vapour, which prevents the rays of the sun from rarifying the lower surface, in consequence of which vegetation progresses very slowly. This is the coldest spring for fifty years past.—ln June we may look for an increase of temperature ; on the Bth to 14th i thunder ; on the 19th, in places ; then very warm for a time ; some cool breezes about 28th.—July often hot and sultry ; about Bth, the heat almost equal to Jamaica or Bengal ; local thunder-storms, with large hail ; about 19th to 22d, from the 24th to the 28th, hot, evening summer lightning.—August often hot, with thunder and lightning at times ; from the 10th to the 13th, the 16th to the 20th, very hot, fine for the harvest, the thermo meter ranging up to 80 deg. of heat, lofty cirrus clouds denoting electricity.—ln September there will be sud den changes, rain, with thunder in places. I remain, your obedient servant, W. SALTER. .Lowestoft, May 10, 1853. PULPIT ELOCUTION.—The synod of Moray have adopted an overture to the General Assembly, recom mending to the attention of the church "a correct elo cution and impressive delivery as important auxiliaries to the nunistrations of tho pulpit."—Glasgow Chronicle. SCOTCH COLLEGE IN SPAIN.—A vessel sailed from Greenock on Monday, for Santander, with fourteen lads, on their way to the Scotch College, which has existed since the times•of our Reformation, in the ancient but now decayed city of Valladolid, in ,the interior of Spain. The young men, one of whom belongs to Greenock, and the others to,Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ste., are under charge of a priest. The superiors and professors In this college are all. Scotchmen, and the lads are intended to be trained as priests of the Church of Rome. —Greenock Advertiser. FROM TILE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, MAY 2.
