'Panegyrics on the borough representation figured on the opposition side of the House.. The same boast ings of what had been achieved for the-country, " by reason of" the old operation of close borough's, said the Anti-Reformers; " in spite of" that .dreadful and degrading system, replied their adver tiaries, and with far greater truth, were rung in our .ears by—many--embryo Lords and matured Com moners. Among the opponents of the measure, Sir R. Peel, as might be expected, shone conspicuously by that species of address to a public assembly, the merit of which consists in a perfect mastery of the art of assuming the highest degree of candour and explicitness, while the real views and determinations of the party are wrapped up in darkness worse than Egyptian, because it is not " visible." Sir Ito bert Peel's objections to the present Bill were professedly founded upon two considerations 1. That it was excessive in degree: 2. That it was vicious in principle. We cannot say that the Right Hoo., Baronet was eminently successful in his elucidation of either statement, inasmuch as he brought forward, for an example of both in one, the needless interference with places like Salisbury, for instance, which he appeared to think ought not to have been touched by . the sacrilegious, hand of Reform, being a populous and important place. But this was ably airswered by Mr. Stanley, who ridi culed the notion that a large town should be left un disturbed) when, notwithstanding its number of in habitants, the electors, °Wing to the faulty character of the' corporation, might - not exceed two or three dozen persons.. Bath, as a parallel ease, with forty thousand inhabitants, was- subject ft the choice of representatives by a closez'corporatibo, and, if left unscatliaby the Reform Bill, would remain among the most odious and mischievous description of boroughs. :Has not Edinburgli been the same to this hour? Yet such, according to Sir Robert Peel's judgment, , are places which_it was needless to touch in any " sober" plan of Reform. --So, the Right Honourable Baronet was not quite successful in his attempt to reconcile his dictum about the little oecessi'y for Reform, which existed, as he said, on the accession of the pre sent Ministers_ to office, with his own conduct in making room for them. No violent " demand" for Reform, quoth Sir Robert Peel, was made until it had been producerLby the- indiscretion of his Mi jesty's Ministers. Yet in the very next sentence he adthitted as a reigning motive for his retreat' from office, that he did not like to undertake the settle ment of the Reform question - I Where was the ne cessity for such a settlement, if no excitement on the subject then existed in the public mind ? The most interesting passage of the whole debate was Mr. Stattley'A rebuke of the doctrine asserted by .Str Charles Wetherell respecting the creation of -Peers. The report of specific passages- in. so prolonged a discussion must, of course, be imperfect . ; but we understand that few of those who beard the earnest defence made by- the Irish Secretary - for the prero gatis4., And for' its application under circumstances like those now contemplated, could fail to come away with the fixed impression that his Majesty's Ministers have finally resolved to employ the powers vested in them as may best and most effectually promote the triumph of ,the Bill, Thursday's de bate in the House of Lords might of itself convince them how futile-must be any hopes of compromise. If the motion of _Reform were now for the first time agitated, we should point to the speech of Mr. Robert Grant, as that which contained by far the most original and valuable reasoning upon the neces sity of the measure which has for some time been suggested. — Times: . .31A N S H O.US - .

Sarah Smith, a married woman, aged twenty-eight years,years,was char ge d with t h e w ilf u l mu rder of Elizabeth " e °d, by administ er i ng arsen i c t o h er , a t Mount su rrel, in tid e cuunty. Mr. Hamlet Vernon, surgeon, deposed that he was called s upon to attend th e d ecease d on th e 9th o f D e cember, Was then in an ailing state at the house of the priso ner, at M ountsorrell. She was most seriously unwell; he attended her several days, and she appeared to be getting better. On Tuesday, the 12th of December, he called and found the deceased in tears—he asked the reason, and ti e Prisoner said it was on account of her sister having caled and asked, who, if she died, was to have her clothes. On the foll ow i ng morning the prisoner called on him, and said. the deceased had been very sick at stomach. He called to see the deceased about dinner time on that (lay, whet ' be was toll by the prisoner that the sisters of the deceased were coming to demand her clothes by force, and she wished him to remain, but he declined. The prisoner took a little square parcel out of her pocket, and handed it to witness, say ing sh e had bought it of Mr. Simpson to poison rats, and asked him how she had best mix it; and whether she ought not toneix it with wet oatmeal. Witness ad vised instead, that she should mix it with bread crumbs, and at her request he opened the paper at one end and sprinkled some of its contents, which was arsenic, among some crumbs in a saucer; he afterwards re-fastened the paper and left it in the saucer. The prisone r see i ng t h e little he had used, said L , Dear me, will that poison rats?" and he replied that it would. The prisoner said, sh e h a d paid a penny for the packet. He called again about seven o'clock in the evening, and then found the deceased in bed, quite insensible and fast sinking; he left the room at the request of the prisoner, and on his return to it a few minutes afterwards the poor girl was dead ; on his going down stairs, the prisoner said " Dear toe, I would not have had it, happen at my house if it were ever so, the people are apt to say such things." The prisoner's husband re plied, " If you have dune no harm, you need not mind what the peopl e say." Witness remained below with them some little time, and in the course of it, the pri soner's husband. went to the cupboard for an ale glass, and took out a phial, and asked his wife what she had got there ; she replied, it is laudanum ; I bought it of Simp son, for I did not like to ask for arsenic alone. In reply to a queetiou from witness, she said she bail bought six pennyworth ; he never prescribed laudanum for the de ce (sed, but the prisoner told bins that she had once given her some, and he replied, she had done very wroug. When he was before the Coroner, the packet from which be had spriakied the arsenic was produced, it was mate rially diminished ;he had left about three-fourths of an ounce, and it was nearly all gone. Mary Ann Wood, an intelligent little girl, twelve years old, deposed that she was fetched by the prisoner from Lo ughborough on the 10th of December to attend her sister. On the Wednesday morning the prisoner gave what she said was medicine to the deceased. There was a sedi ment left in the cup, which the prisoner stirred u p, and made h er take, saying it would do her the most goo and she mi g h t as well not take any if she did not take the'. After swallowing it her sister complained of great heat in her stomach.

We have already more than hinted our iiipPrebension that a spirit more than insurrectionary - will display itself in every part of England,—that is to say, that the people wilt throw off the restraint of the laws. But what will -be-the state of the le gislative power itself ? Why, it ii.threatened with nothing short of dissolution.• This is not the case of a turnpike bill, or even:of Eitillolic emancipation, where,-ii• the -House of Lords suppressed the vote - tif the Commons, yet- the-groat .bulk of the Protes tant-nation was a fortress upon which their anti-Ca tholic Lordships could fall back, and enjoy repose and impunity. What can they-now retreat upon ? Protestant and Catholic are equally roused upon this great Reform principle. With regard to it, they look upon the Lords as a sort of extraneous and in trusive power, which, so, far as popular feeling goes, has tit) business to- meddle with the represen tatives of:: the people at all, much less to decide -against the recorded sentiments of both the na iion. and the House of Commons, in what man mers.atid on what conditions the one shall dele 4aceilie important trust of guarding the national -property, and the other shall accept and execute it. , t-We say that here, on such a vital question, any _direct • eeintradietion . of . policy bet ween the two' branches of the Legislature, would amount to a dis solution of the Government; and that the Minister, with, the King's prerogative at his disposal, offering a natural and easy mode of averting so dreadful a calamity, would be a direct party.to the overthrow of the state, should he refuse to put in force that lawful and effective instrument of political salvation. Suppose that public convulsions should arise in any part of England, as the too probable consequence of a rejection or mutilation of this Bill by the Lords, a Tory Government must he then in. power. A Tory Government, then, in power, must recommend to Parliament some new laws to strengthen the hands of the. executive, and to put down the people. The House of Lords will he ready enough to back the Tory Government. But what course will the Commons of England pursue in such a crisis? Will the Commons, who' have pasted the Bill in furtherance of the people's wishes, and of its own convictions—will that House of Commons join the TM-y enemy in his hostile measures against the apression of popular feeling ? The question is absurd. The House of. Commons, even as now con st ittited, would petition, remonstrate, resolie (Would it stop there ?)against the system of the Tory Govern ment, and in favour of the excited and_ inexorable nation. What next ? A dissolution and, new elec (ton, under the auspices of an anti-reforming Minis ter, and in the teeth of a ,reforming people? No; of such pliremy sit . least we acquit the Administra tion that is to be. Why then in what do these things -fall short of a dissolution of all Govern ment ? But in 'case of a' rejection of the Bill, "We -doubt whether the =good and.upright King will have the means' of forming any Adminis tration whatsoever.' "The Whigs thrOwn aside by common consent as unutterably imbecile and useless,— thee national - spirit revolting on other grounds against the Tories --s-.'what will become of our distressed and deserted" Sovereign? With the two Houses of Parliament in direct and-open colli sion, and that, too, upon a question which compre hends the whole field of civil government,-,With the two great parties which hitherto, by convention or by sufferance, have been regarded as the only parties whence the Crown could supply itself with confi dentieLconnsellers, fallen into universal disrepute, — one, for consistency in bad principles, the other for treachery to good ones,—is it, we ask, in the human mind to conceive a position of the British empire more fiightful, deplorable, or desperate ? The remedy, if remedy there be,—the sole remedy,— is one which history and reason combine to 'present to us under the most ominous aspect. It is a temporary assumptiim of the affairs of Government by the House of 'Commons, as in that case the only unimpaired and efficient mem ber of the State. That such a prospect is sufficiently terrible, no man in his senses will dis pute, with 'us. But where is the alternative ? No thing, as is fairly set down by our Correspondent, who writes under the signature - of "An Alarmist" —nothing but mob tyranny, or military tyranny,— the- firebrand, or the sword; And who is responsible for this violent death inflicted' upon our noblest in stitutions ? Even he, and none other than' !le, who dares not or who wills not,. to save them. Heaven forefend tliat such a man should exist—still more that he should exist long enough to accomplish his unhallowed labour!, As for .the childish boast that the Bill*" is sure of being . read a second time," who cares about that ?" What description of Bill' will it be ere it arrive at the third reading ? , That is. the question, and the single question about which any true and honest Reformer now troubles himself to inquire. —Times. rtnyi<, The speech of Sir Rcbert Peel on Thursday night was quite worthy of the half-way Politician. If he had pursued his arguments to their legitimate conse quences, he would have travelled on to absolute Monarchy. The same arguments by which he at tempted to prove that a defective representation would be better than a correct representation, would go to prove that the absence of all representation would be still better than a defective representation. He might as easily have gone the whole way as the half. According to Sir Robert, a Parliament repre senting the people would be much more opposed to improvement in our laws, than an unreformed Parlia ment— " He denied that a popular representation would improve the public jurisprudence. If they wanted the proof of hi. opinion, let them look at the conduct that had lately been pursued on the subject of the improvement of the laws of our real property. A Ccuimi.sion had been appointed, and a very Learned Gentleman had, adopting the ree,m mendation of the Commissioners, proposed a general Re gistration nil. Yet, although he was fully convinced of the excellence of tte measure, it was opposed by a whole host of Attorneys, no doubt with very honest intentions, but expressing in their persons the popular disappro bation or it. Nay, more, be would venture to say, that in a Reformed Parliament, the Hon. and Learned Member for Stafford would Lind a greater oppo , ition to the measure than he encountered at the present moment." There can be no doubt that Louis the Fourteenth and Leopold of Tuscany could effect changes in the law much more easily than a Legislature acted on by public opinion. It is much easier to convince one man of good understanding than to convince a whole people. I3ur we much question the position assumed by Sir Robert, that a Reformed Parliament would be more opposed to improvements in the law than an unreformed Pailiament. A Reformed Par liament would contain fewer men returned on ac count of property alone, and more on account of the possession of talents and habits of business. The great obstacle to improvements in the law hi therto have been obstinacy, arising from ignorance and indolence. The great opponents of Law Re• form ,, have al wa y s b een opponents o f a ll R e f orm . the more aristocratical the Member, the more he is disposed to let things remain as they are. lie who cannot see his way, naturally stands still. The obstinacy of the Tories is the natural offspring of their ignorance. They will not make themselves acquainted with any subject ; and they will rather rub on with what is bad, than take a leap in the dark. The House of Peers—a body of legislators wholly irresponsible—hav e always been trws• opposed to Judicial Reform. Energy of cha meter and industry must always, in the case of a Man born to wealth and influence, he the excep tion and. not the rule; and it has been admitted by Lord Harrowby, that all the distinguished Members of the House' of Lords have been formed in the CommotO. But the North American Union suffi ciently refutes Sir Roberta The different States have been incessantly"occupied with Judicial Reforms; and an excellent Judge, Mr. Parkes, of Liverpool, has shown, in a volume published by him some time ago, that; in the wav of Law Reform, they are an age before us. In short, a Parliament influenced by the Aristocracy, has all the cumbrousness of a po pular assembly, with-indolence and ignorance super added, and with little of the energy which is al ways found under a popular representation. But Sir Robert supposes, that if we improve the repre sentation we shall lose the Lord knows - how many amiable qualities now possessed by us. He feared that, by the introduction of a - perpetual round of elections, the whole peace of society would be forfeited, as it was in the United States ; that the free and joyous, the open and honest character of Englishmen would be con tractea and poisoned by the universal devotion of Leant and mind to the means, and not to the end —(Cheers.) And he could not avoid fancying that when, in after times,_ some liberal and enlightened individual, sighing -after tbe blessings svbich we now enjoyed, wouldhreathe forth a 'bitter reproach .against those who had forfeited far him his bright and precious inheritance.--:-(Cheers.) • Adiiiititng the 7 princigii, :•-"sin highly Vainhaied, of demo cratic infitfenceadmitting" the conteritplited reductiOns in the public expenditure; and the relief frciti - the burthen of taxation--;admitting - all the tangible benefits which were held forth to the„..public, would not that man say, was it for this—for these—for all—.for all that could pos sibly come - to pass—that you - tintiancour into the breasts of man where it had before no resting place?--(Loud cheers.) -Was it foe this you disturbed the harmonious action of that miteLLtiovernment which has saved ; the treat problem of a Government in which security is blended with liberty and power?—(Great cheering.) • .

The English are an honest people, unquestionably, - but theYrire nova joyous people; and it is matter :a notoriety that the *different - classes are more es tranged from each other than in any other country. On the part of the great there is a perfect horror of the enjoyments of the people; their amusements have everywhere been prescribed ; and Parson Ma gistrates—the toots of the Aristocracy—have carried tyranny into every village: With the ascendancy of the Tories, this separation , of the English into cases has - grown up. No writer of our times has received more general approbation for correct observation and sound judgment than the late Mr. Simond, whose Travels in England, Italy, And Switzerland, are admirable productions. Mr. Si mond observes-- " That the people of Geneva are generally well-disposed in favour of the English. But after the renewal of inter course at the peace, they observed, says "Mr. Simond," their former friends the English are so changed, that they scarcely know them again. They used to be a plain downright race, in whom a certain degree of sauvagerie (oddity and shyness) only served to set off the advantages of a highly cultivated understanding, of a liberal mind and generous temper, which characterized them in general ; their young men were often rather wild, but soon reformed, and became like their fathers. Instead of this we see (they say) a mixed assemblage, of whom lamentably few possess any of those qualities we were wont to admire in their predecessors ; their former shyness and reserve is changed to disdain and rudeness. If you seek these modern. English, they keep aloof, do not mix in conversation, and seem to laugh at you ; their conduct, still mere strange and unaccountable in regard to each other, is indicative of contempt or suspicion ; studiously avoiding to exchange a word, one would suppose they expect to find an adven turer in every individual of their own country, not parti cularly introduced, or at best a person beneath them. . . . If they do not find a crowd, they are tired ; if you speak of the old English you formerly knew, that was before the flood ; if you talk of books, it is pedantry, and they yawn." It surely was not always thus, or the country would not-have been called" Merry England." The same M. Simond observes of a sheep-shearing in the south of England : " The mirth and festivity of the people here is quite calm, and a fete after their man ner might in Languedoc be mistaken for a funeral. If the country people dance it is without elasticity, vivacity, or ardour; if they sing, it is far worse."— Prince Puckler, the latest observer of English so ciety, is still more severe. "No Brahman," he says," can shrink with more horror from all con tact with a Pat ia, than an exclusive from intercout se wi;li nobody.' Every class of society, as well as every field in England, is separated from every other by a hedge of thorns. Each has its Own manners and terms of expression—its cant' lan guage, as it is called, and, above all, a supreme and ab-olute contempt for all below it." Why is it that this exclusive system has gained such a pre ponderance within the last thitty years ? Why, but because in that time the Torres felt themselves as they thought independent of the people, and Aristocracy ventured at length to appear in all its hideousness. The poison has at length pervaded the whole system. When the aristocracy find that their influence is dependent on the good opinion of others, instead of separating themselves fann the people, and living in a world of their own, they will be obliged to display a kindliness of feeling towards the people. The example will descend, and in time Englishmen, instead of being what they are now, separated into anti-social castes, will gradually re sume their tld hearty character. According to Sir Robert Peel, the French Revolution ought to have made the people less open, less social. Is this the ca , e ? There is an excellent History of Florence from 1491 to 153], by Nardi, a Florentine citizen. Ac cording to this writer, an extension of the period for which Magistrates were elected to five years, pro duced effects similar to what we witness in this country. " This change from a short to a long period corrupted very much the ways of nthe City, because th ose w h o w ere once c hosen, and obtained the contm a t.d o f th e public money became secure of always ob ta i n i ng honours and offices, and became negligent and careless in their behaviour." We consider Sir Robert's facts assumed, anti his conclu sions from them lame and impotent. Monopoly is not usually the parent of kindness and civility. The grand secret for making men kind towards each other, is to make them dependent on each other.—illorn ing Chronicle. The debate upon Reform, which ended yesterday morning i n the third reading of the Bill, was of im portance p r i nc i pa ll y as a pre l u d e to t h a t victorious consummation. In the arguments on either side, with the except i on o f one speec h, t h e re was but little novelty. The thrice--nay ten times—told The distress of the West India interests is greatly to be deplored, but it is not by refusing to ameliorate the condition of their slaves that they will place themselves in a situation to retrieve their lost pros perity. It is agreed upon all hands that slavery cannot last for ever. Even the advocates of the planters do not pretend to justify the continuance of slavery upon principle. They talk of a compensa tion for the rights of property,._ which, as in other questions of public policy involving considerations of private interest, is matter for the Parliament to deal with. They talk of the negro being in a state of mental and moral degradation, which renders him unfit for the enjoyment of the privileges of freedom ; but they do not any longer contend that slavery is so good a thing in itself, that the sable children of Africa ought to consider themselves particularly fortu nate in being allowed to enjoy the paradise of West India bondage for ever. If the day of peaceful eman cipation is to come at all, and the slave must be raised in the scale of moral existence, in order to be able to avail himself of it to his own advantage, it is quite clear that a beginning cannot be too soon made in that work of instruction and improvement which will raise him out of the degradation in which a be ing of moral reason, and immortal destinies, like our own, has been so long prostrated ;—a condition which, like the " beast that perished)," he has neither freedom of will, nor a property in his own person or offspring ;—a condition in which his only directing princle is terror—his only stimulus to exertion the whip. The more de graded the West India planters represent their slaves to be, both as to intellect and morals, the more severely do they condemn their own autho rity, which could thus for ages have held human beings in bondage, without imparting to them suffi cient moral and religious instruction to raise them above the condition of the cattle of the field. Let it nor be forgotten that it is now nine years since Mr. Canning's resolutions were passed in the House of Commons, to ensure, by judicious ameliorations in the system of slavery, the gradual preparation of the slave for a state of freedom. What has been done towards carrying those resolutions into effect in all that time? The answer to that question is given in the statements of the slave-owners them selves, who describe the slaves of the present day as still sunk in all that dreadful state of degradation to which vicious laws, a government of terror, and a total neglect of moral training, devote the hu man soul, whatever may be the colour of the skin—in whatever degree of latitude the land may lie which has given birth to the body it inhabits. It is as much with a view to the oenefit of the slave-owner as the slave that we would wish to see Negro bondage at an end. Not rashly or intemperately, indeed, would we have this most desirable consummation brought about—but we should like to see, without further delay, a be ginning made, by that gradual amelioration of the state of slavery which alone can prevent the recur rence of those scenes of violence, of barbarism, and blood, which at present devastate Jamaica, and is the only way to bring about eventnally a peaceful emancipation. While this is going on, our Govern ment might do much to benefit our own colonists, by taking effectual measures for the suppression of the foreign slave trade. The Treaty lately made with France, avowedly with that object, as it does note concede the right to try and punish French subjects out of France for smuggling slaves, will, we fear, have no practical result.—Morning Herald. The principal accusation now brought against the West India colonists seems to be, that they have opposed, or have at least been careless about, the religious education of their dependents ; and to this cause their adversaries mainly attribute the immense sacrifice of life and property which has recently taken place in Jamaica. A Parliamentary Paper, printed during the present Session, supplies an an swer to this accusation. By the documeut we al lude to it appears, that the community of Jamaica alone have, for a considerable period, expended in stipendiary allowances to the regular Clergy, and in maintainingfree schools and ether aharitable and religious institutions, nearly fifty thousand pounds per annum. Hundreds , of private individuals have also established, at a considerable expense, school masters:and-caterhists for the instruction of their immediate dependents, besides affording liberal nations in money. and in land for the erection r , f chapels and school-houses.. We may further Ili!' leave to observe, that if, as seems to be indicated in the dispatches. from Jamaica, some of the prin cipal incendiaries during the late rebellion were " rulers" or elders in dissenting chapels, the rt ;•ent outrages were not owing to any lack of that methoil of religious teaching for which the sectarian's so strenuously contend. We must therefore look to other causes for the late unhappy events, and we believe it is not difficult to discover them- It is a matter of record that the planters have over and over again entreated that before Government pro ceeded to legislate for the Sugar Colonies a full, fair and impartial inquiry should be instituted into the actual state and condition of the negroes, embracing of course, the most safe and practical mode of in structing them. It seems difficult to discover any just grounds for refusing this reasonable request. If, instead of making rash and unstatesmenlike declara tions, Members of the Government had fairly and substantially gone into this inquiry, and followed it up by cautious, prudent, and suitable measures of le gislation, remedying any defects that might have been discovered, the rash and ruinous order in Coun cil lately promulgated would never have been is=ited; and, instead of the desolation which has been spread over some of the fairest portions of Jamaica, progress ive improvement wonld have been gradually going on; and the negro, instead of having had his mind agitated by contradictory reports, and his cottage and its surrounding comforts destroyed, would now be cheerfully continuing to acquire those moral and religious feelings, and those confirmed habits of industry, without which freedom would be a curse instead of a blessing. But Government de cided-dtherwise. Inquiry was denied. The negro mind was; kept in a state of agitation by imprud at party discussions about freedom ; and mark the disastrous result. Millions of property have been destroyed, many livei have been sacrificed, the dwellings of both,masters and slaves have been con sumed, and it is impossible to foresee the extent of the disorganization which is to be the result of these calamities! In the course of these discussions the Anti-Colonists were repeatedly warned against the dangerous consequences of exciting undue expecta tions in the minds of the slaves, and the probability of the occurrences which have recently taken place were specially predicted. But Ministers do not yet seem inclined to take warning by the past ; and it is said that, instead of opposing Mr. Sowell Buxton's intended motion for the immediate abolition of slavery, they are to substitute, as an amendment, the equally certain but more tedious mode of ruining the colonists—namely, by refusing to mitigate their present burthens, and by adding to them either - the iutolerable weights : specified in the Order in Council, or distinctive duties, as their equivalent. We would entreat the true friends of humanity and justice to consider well how they can improve the condition of the slave if they ruin the planter; in what manner they are to compensate the planter for the loss of his property, and the manufacturer and agriculturist at - home for the loss of an exten live market for their produce; how they are to maintain the revenue, and keep faith with the public creditor, if they wantonly destroy one of our main sources of.:Wealth. And, in the language of an emi nent Statesman of the present day, we would ask them to consider::" What would be the state of our colonies supposing emancipation could immediately be granted and compensation given ? All who were able would leave the colony, having no inducement to remain. There would be no link by which so ciety could be held together—there would be no Magistracy—no power by which wrong could be punished or right secured ; and the colonies would present a scene of civil war, and a succession of baibitrous conflicts, unmitigated by any of those checks which, in the civilized portion of the world, will always in some degree soften the horrors of the fiercest party hostility." A consideration of these circumstances should induce thinking people to de termine upon the justice and propriety of acting Call , tiously, and to pause before they allow the headlong abolitionists to proceed in the ruinous and irreme: diable course which they seem determined to pups sue.--Itforning Poit. _4. rid ILI ' Total of Neal and i l .

WHITMORE, Secretary. Custom-house, London, March 20, 1832. The following courteous anti satisfactory letter from the Chief Secretary for Ireland, in reply to an inquiry re. specting the Government plan of education, has been received by a clergyman in this county : `• I have the honour to reply to your letter , received this morning on the subject of the system of education recently adopted by the Government in Ireland, and as most erroneous statements have been published respecting its leading prin ciples, I beg to enclose you a copy of my letter to the Duke of Leinster on the-formation of the Board of Commissioners. " From your letter I am led to believe that you are not aware that one of the first objects of the Government is to esta blish schools for the combined moral and literary and separate religious education of Roman Catholic and Protestant children. With this view, therefore, it is intended that the joint educa tion of children of different persuasions attending the same school shall extend only to literary instruction, and to such ex. tracts from the Sacred Writings as shall be approved by the whole Board of Commissioners, but that the separate religious tuition shall be such as will be sanctioned by the respective Members of the Board of the three persuasions. The free use of the whole Bible, at all but the hours for combined instruc tion, will be afforded to all Protestants subject to the direction of the Protestant clergy ; and we of course cannot have the smallest pretension to interfere with any parent of any per suasion, as to the choice of a school to which he should send his child. " I trust that you will find nothing in my letter that re quires explanation ; but, should it be otherwise, I shall be happy to give you any further information which you may wish.

PLYMOUTH, Matte"' 23.—The Marlborough packet arrived at Falmouth on Friday, twelve days from Lisbon, left in the Tagus his Majesty's ships Asia, Revenge, and Childers, and the Sandwich packet the next to follow with the mails. Nothing had occurred of imporrance in the city ; the transport with the troops, for 111arlaira, had sailed on the 3d instant. Don Miguel had left the city for the interior, on an excursion to enjoy his favourite sports, bull tights, &c. His Majesty's packet sloop Reindeer, Lieutenant Hill arrived on Sunday at Falmouth, from Brazil, with the mails, and 50,000 dollars on freight, on merchants' ac, count—left Rio 17th Jan. All was quiet at the time of her departure. The commercial affairs of the country continued to assume a more favourable aspect, and the Ex change was on the rise. His Majesty's packet sloop Opossum, Lieut. Peter, ar rived on Friday at Falmouth, from Halifax and Bermuda —left Halifax 27th ult. ; and Bermuda, 14th inst. The Imogene, which sailed from this port on the 26th of November last, has arrived safe at Riu Janeiro, where she found lying the Warspite, Dublin, Druid, and Pylade4, The Stag, 46, arrived on Saturday from Cork, with a detachment of the 77th regiment, to embark in the Romney. for Jamaica.

An American named Sill has presented to Congress a petition, by which he solicits a grant of land and a sum of money, for the purpose of executing a plan conceived by him of a Geographical Garden. The space for this establishment would not exceed ten acres, which would suffice to 'delineate exact!y all the parts of the known world on the principle of Mercator's Chart. The bed of oce ars, seas, gulfs, bays, and lake•, would he hol lowed out, and the ground removed thence would serve to the formation of continents, peninsulas, isthmuses, mountains and islands. The parallels of latitude, the meri dians, equatirs, and all the other circ!es would he cor rectly traced, the beds of rivers described as in their natu ral course, and lowered accordinu to their respective banks. Tae bosom of the seas would be covered with, gravel, the plains adorned with verdure, and the !noun-, tams formed with their proper geological strata. The seas might at any tim- be filled with water, so that the whole would be a representation in miniature of the world, in its own elements. A lady recently died at Chatellerault, aged 88, When 37 years old she experienced all the symptoms of pregnancy, and even at length muff red what the conceived to be labour pains. But th-se suddenly ceased, an.' the: enlargement of her size disappeared. She nevertheless, remained fully persu ided th.it she had been pregnant, and directed that her body should be opened after her death. This has taken place, and proved that she was nut de— ceived. A Icsitus was found, the size and weight of which showed that it hail proceeded to the full term. It had become almost entirely ossified. M.dical men wishing to have a more minute account of this phenomenon, may oh. tain it on applying to M. Lauray, physician, at Chat e l. lerault.
