BAIRD, G.C.8., Including his CORRESPONDENCE with the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Wellesley, Lords Melville and Castlereagh, Sir John Moore, and other Dis tinguished Characters. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. (Late Colburn and Bentley.) A nu, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1832. We understand that the official accounts re ceived to-day from the Hague do not bring any information of an important character; but there are private letters in town, from an influential source, which mention several circumstances in dicative of a more conciliatory spirit on the part of the King of HOLLAND. This being the last day allowed to that Monarch for his decision upon the important points submitted to him, there are, of course, general versions afloat as to the probability of his answer being of a more pacific tendency, but that to which we allude has obtained credence in the best quarters, although we are very far from pledging ourselves to the opinions of those who go on such able conclu sions. On the other hand, authentic accounts from Belgium state that war was there looked upon as inevitable, and the preparations made at Antwerp betoken anything rather than a pacific termination of the present negotiation. The answer of the King of HOLLAND is not ex pected at the Foreign-office until Monday ; on which day it will probably be discussed in a Cabinet Council, summonses having been issued, as we understand, for that purpose. Private accounts from Paris to-day again state that Prussia will oppose no obstacle to the march of the French troops into Belgium. There is already a strong force upon the frontiers ; but the troops certainly will not enter Belgium until after the 12th, however peremptory may be the answer of the King of HOLLAND. We have no information from our Correspondents in sup port of the letters here alluded to. The German Papers, which arrived this morn ing, contain an article from Berlin, in which it is stated that the Pussian Cabinet objects to the entry of the French army into Belgium. We have no means of ascertaining the source from which this article emanated, and cannot, therefore, fix the degree of importance to which it is entitled, but there is a probability about it which at this moment recommends it to the at tention of the reader. It is at variance, indeed, with the declarations of official personages in this country, but we have been so frequently de ceived by them, that we ought rather to form our conclusions from the numerous indications of a hostile spirit towards France and England on the part of the Northern Powers, than on those pacific assurances to which so much im portance is attached . by the British and French Cabinets., The Berlin article says, " Should the French Cabinet not desist from its purpose, but send troops against Antwerp, this might easily lead to a war." That war might be the result of such a movement is highly probable ; but how can the French Cabinet de sist ? Has it not pledged itself to the nation, and would it be able to stand an hour after the meeting of the Chambers if it were to exhibit so disgraceful a dread of the Holy Alliance, as an abandonment of the promise made to the King of BELGIUM to assist him in his attempt to re cover possession of Antwerp from the King of HOLLAND BERLIN, OCT. 22.—1 n consequence of unpleasant news from Paris, great activity is observed in the department of the Minider for Foreign Affairs. It is said that the French Ministry persists in its intention to let French troops enter Belgium, and to take the citadel of Antwerp by force, and that it has *wed a declaration to that effect. The other Confine Mat powers, which have no deference to pay to ambitions channe, and look on the dispute between Bel glum and Holland in a point of view very different from that in which ft ta considered in France, refuse, as we hear, to allow this, and in case of extremity will op pose force to prevent it. The French Ministry, it is true, is said to have made proposals which manifest the disinterested views and intentions of France. It will give to the other members of the Conference. especially to Prussia, certain guarantees in case the citadel of Antwerp should not be quickly subdued, but require a siege. Considering the frequent changes in the French Administration, it would certainly be important to have security for the future retreat of the French from Belgium, if they should quit with the assent of the Powers. For, if Louis Philip is very pacific, and entertains the most honourable sentiments towards all the European Powers, his words are, however, but individual wishes, and can not give the Powers sufficient confidence so long as the internal affairs of France are in their present state, and the Executive Government remains under the preponderating influence of the journals, and the fickle will of the people. This is felt at Paris, and, therefore, a proposal has been made that Prussia shall occupy a part of Belgium, and occupy it till the citadel of Antwerp shall have been taken from the Dutch and delivered to the Belgians, and the French troops have returned to France. But this proposal is not approved by our Court, because the acceptance of it during the uncertain course of political affairs in France might lead to collision, which it is wished to avoid. The calling in of two powerful armies, jealous of each other, to occupy one territory, might certainly be more likely to lead to a general war, than if both continued strictly to respect the neutral territory of Belgium. This appears to be, on mature deliberation, the opinion formed by our Cabinet, and it is affirmed that it has rejected the propo sal of France, declaring at the same time that Prussia will most scrupulously observe the neutrality of Belgium, but not suffer it to be violated by any other Power. Should the French Cabinet, therefore, not desist from its purpose, but send troops against Antwerp, this might easily lead to a war.

We have inserted elsewhere a letter from a correspondent on the subject of a substitution of a postage for the present Stamp Duty on newspapers. He appears to imagine, that we did not in a former article take into our calcula tion the benefit to the revenue which would arise from the increase in the receipts of the paper duty occasioned by the large increase in the circulation of newspapers. We can assure him that we did, and that we shall, when the proper time comes, be ready to prove to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, not only that we have not for gotten his pledges upon this subject, and are prepared to hold him to them, but that the most profitable course he can pursue is, as we have before suggested, a large reduction of the Stamp Duty. With respect to the latter part ofour corres pondent's letter, we agree with him that assessed taxes arc disagreeable things ; but, if fairly ap portioned, they would not be of so partial a nature as an " Excise tax upon any article in universal demand." Bread is an article in universal de mand, but as a man of 40,0001. per annum cannot consume more bread than a man of 40W., an Excise tax upon it would evidently be more unfair than a tax levied upon the dwell ings of the respective parties, according to their value. Thousands have fondly imagined that they only could stir a fire ; so thousands think that they solely have hit upon the true remedy for the disorders of Ireland; the only differ ence being that the question is of quenching and not raising a flame. One of the most curious of the many plans which have, in conse quence, been submitted to the public is that of an anonymous writer of a pamphlet, just pub lished, entitled, " Observations on the State of Ireland, addressed to impartial Inquirers." The thirty pages of which it consists are divided into three chapters. In the first, the writer traces the misery of the Irish peasantry to their being contented with existing upon a sufficient supply of the cheapest article of subsistence, so that when the potatoe crop fails they starve, and na turally become turbulent and unmanageable. He observes that— " The permanent depression of wages, which is the natural consequence, renders it almost impossible for in creased exertions to obtain any considerable increase to the comforts and enjoyments of life. It effectually hin ders them, therefore, from being made, and idleness and apathy become the distincuishing characteristics of the people. The principle of frugality, the principle which prompts to save and accumulate, is rendered inactive ; the desire of bettering our condition, which, deeply seated in the human breast, has had a beneficial influence in other countries, loses•its power ; it becomes daily more difficult for the people to emerge from their distressed condition. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the Irish peasant, careless of the morrow, and indifferent to all but his daily stipend and the few wants of his station, should devote any accidental profits to the purchase of re- laxation and oblivion, at the fair or the public-house; that, instead of deferring the period of marriage till a small capital enables him to provide for a family, he should rather hasten the time when, with a partner of his miser able lot, he may enjoy almost the only consolation which he has in common with the rest of humanity. " Thus the difficulty of supplying food for the rising generation becomes every day greater ; and us the tendency of population to increase is not checked by moral restraint, by the prevalence of forethought and prudence, it must be checked by the prevalence of vice, misery, and famine : there is no alternative." The author then proceeds to argue that our object ought to be to teach the Irish to value the comforts of life, and to dispose them to defer the period of marriage, so as not to depress their own condition and that of their children. This is undoubtedly what we ought to aim at, but the how is the question. Before answering this question, our author devotes his second chapter to an examination of the chief obstacles which lie in the way of any attempt to improve the condition of the Irish. We should have thought that they might have been almost all, i f not all, included in the comprehensive word, ignorance. But our pamphleteer resolves them all into the interest of the Catholic priesthood. His proposition stands somewhat thus :—The roots of the evil are over-population and want of providence in marrying ; the priests derive the greater part of their income from marriage fees ; they encourage early marriages; ergo, the inte rest of the priests is the obstacle in the way of improvement. No doubt it is very desirable that the Catholic priests should not have so direct an interest in the encouragement of im provident marriages; but we imagine that if a man were so educated as to be made to know that his happiness or misery, as far as having a suffi ciency of food. was coneerned,* depended, not upon the government, not upon his landlord, not upon the Pro•es4ant parson, not upon the tithe proctor, not upon his priest, but upon his own providence and forethought, and nothing else, he would not be induced, by the influence or interest of the priest, to prepare starvation for himself and children. If• our author had looked to the higher ranks of Catholics, although he would have found the spiritual influence of the priesthood sufficiently great, he would not have found it so far overmastering the prudence taught by education as to make the boys of a gentleman's family marry at seventeen. The writer thus concludes his second chapter. " And, as it has been shown, a change in the habits and manners of the lower class is the only remedy for the permanent relief of this country; the alternative is either to induce the priest to co-operate in promoting such a change, or to introduce another influence that may gra dually supplant his authority." We are now brought to the grand discovery— to the influence which is to overturn the autho rity of the Catholic priesthood. It is no other than the conversion of the Catholic Irish to Methodism, or to any other sectarian form of Christianity. How this is to be accomplished our anonymous friend does not attempt to say ; but observing that the Dissenters of England are, generally speaking, some of the best behaved, provident, and orderly classes of the community, he at once jumps to the conclusion, that to make the Catholics Protestant Dissenters will make them hippy. The writer means well, but he has clearly mistaken a concomitant for a cause. The Catholic clergy may occasionally abuse the influence they have over their flocks, but all that is wanted to restrain it within proper and legiti mate bounds is increased knowledge on the part of the people. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCE LLOR having unfortunately con continued to feel unwell to-day, was still unable to come out. The MASTER of the ROLLS in his Lordship's un avoidable absence, met the other' Learned Judges and King's Counsel in Lincoins' Inn-hall. When the com pliments had passed, usual upon meeting after so long an absence, and the learned party had partaken of a re freshment, they repaired to their respective Courts in Westminster Hall. The LORD CHANCELLOR confidently expects to be able to sit in Westminster to-morrow. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS sat in his Court in Westminster, to-day, which for simplicity and conve nience, is unequalled by any of the Courts in Westminster Hall. In its construction the comforts of the bar have not been forgotten, a room having been appropriated for their own use. His HONOUR was occupied with petitions, of no public importance, up to the period of our reporter leaving. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Michaelmas Term, his Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR sat at Westminster about half-past 1 o'clock, after having met the other Judges and King's Counsel, at Lincoln's Inn, where they were en tertained by his Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS. GRIEVOUS HARDSHIP ON SUITORS OF THE PRACTISE OF THE BAR. His HONOUR, after hearing a few motions of no public interest, chiefly from behind the bar, inquired if there was anything else to go on with? Mr. KNIGHT said he thought he could not usefully occupy the time of the Court in the absence of other leading Counsel, and particularly Mr. Pepys. Mr. Leigh, a solicitor, stepped forward to Mr. Knight, and told him that if he would proceed to open a motion which Mr. Pepys was to oppose, in which the latter gentleman was ready, he would fetch Mr. P. into Court immediately. _ Mr. KNIGHT said he would not move it, unless his unior was also brought into Court. His HONOUR then inquired if he was to leave the Court ? Illr. Leigh again entreated Mr. Knight to proceed to open his motion, in which he understood he was ready. Mr. KNIGHT—I would not do it for forty thousand clients, unless you get my junior into Court. His HONOUR-Well, can't your junior be got ? Mr. KNIGHT—[Mr. Pepys now took his place within the Bar, and next to Mr. Knight]—Get Mr. Russell here, and then I'll move it. Mr. Leigh—l have sent for Mr. Russell. His Hobtoux—lf there is nothing that we can go on with I must go ; it is of no use sitting here doing nothing. Mr. Leigh—l have sent for Mr. Russell. His HONOUR (after a pause)—Can't you go on, Mr. Knight? _ Aft'. KNIGHT—No, Sir. His HoNowt—Do you move any thing, Mr. Agar? Mr. AGAR—No, Sir. His HONOUR (after a pause)—Well, are we to have any ;hing mote ? 11r. Leigh—Mr. Knight begins, Sir, in that motion. Mr. KNIG HT—I shall not began it without my junior being here. His HONOUR—Can you, Mr. Pepy's, begin any motion ? Mr. PEPYS —No, Sir. His HONOUR—Then I shall go. [His Honour was preparing to rise, when] Mr. KNIGHT rose and said [Mr. Leigh being then gone out of Court, also in search of Mr. Russell, but returned without liim.]—l think I may as well begin this motion.—He began it. The LEARNED COUNSEL then opened the case. The statement took him exactly two minutes and a half. At the cone usion he said,--" That, Sir, is the whole case. The only question is, whether a case is made for reforming a settlement? Controversy, of fort, there is none. It follows that if I am right in my position your order must lie in my favour. The whole depends on the affidavits which I shall proceed to read. The Learned Counsel accordingly proceeded to read the affidavits. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) At 20 minutes after 1 o'clock Mr. Justice J. PARKE, Mr. Justice TAUNTON, and Mr. Justice PATTISON, took their seats on the Bench. Lord TENTERDEN continues too unwell to attend in his place. A variety of new rules, agreed upon by the Judges, were read by the officer of the Court. They related to the forms of process and the amount of fees to he charged. Messrs. Jqy, Beanies, Swanston, and Rolfe, having been appointed King's Counsel, took their seats within the bar, and received the congratulations of the Court. CRI3IINAL INFORMATION. Sir JAMES SCARLETT moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not issue against a person of the name of Heath, a printer, at Abingdon in Berkshire. The application was made on the affidavit of John Walter, Esq., of Bearwood, who stated that in 1816, he purchased the estate of Bearwood, and in a few years afterwards was put in the commission of the peace for Berkshire and Wiltshire, and that in c onsequence of a requisition signed by many fr ee h o ld e rs of Berkshire, he had offered himself as a Candid ite for Berkshire. The application against the printer, Mr. Heath, was for printing and circulating a hand-bill, which contained the most false calumnies, tending to injure the character of Mr. Walter, and to prejudice his interests in the county of Berks. The Learned Counsel then read the band-bill. Ic professed to advise the freeholders to inquire into the characters of those who should canvass them for seats in Parliament, and referring to Mr. Walter, that the writer had met with a history which threw some light on the character of one John Walter, the printer and pub lisher of the Times newspaper. The writer then asks, whether Mr. Walt er h as any reco ll ect i on o f t h e following facts :—ln the " Life and Times of George IV., by John Watkins, LL.D.," page 196, it appeared that great odium had been thrown on some members of the Royal Family ; two of whom, the Dukes of York and Clarence, had been expelled front Court, a nd that the Times had been the chief cause of propa gating the calumnies ; that t .e said John Walter had been tried for three libels upon the members of the Royal family ; for the one on the Duke of York h . e was fined 501., and order e d t o s t an d one h our in the Rd-, fury at Charing-cross, and to be imprisOned one year in Newgate; also, to find sureti es f o r s even y ear s, himself in '5OOl. and two ethers in 1007. each; that for a Weeend, he was fined 100/. and sentenced to one year further im prisonment, and for the third to a fine of only 100/. The writer of the handbill adds that if Mr. Walter answered the question in the affirmative, then the county should stamp his pretensions to represent them with marks of disapprobation. The date of those occurrences was laid in 1778 and 1780. The affidavit of Mr. Walter stated that at that period he was not more than 14 years of age, and he denied living at that time in any way connected with the Times newspaper. The Court granted a rule Nisi. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) At 10 minutes past 1 o'clock, Sir N. CONYNGIIAM TINDAL, Mr. Justice ALDERSON, Mr. Justice GASELEE, and Mr. Justice BOSANQUET entered their Court, attired in their state robes, and shortly afterwards took their seats on the Bench. The body of the Court was much crowded, and the galleries were filled with ladies. The CHIEF JUSTICE, addressing Mr. sergeant Spankic, said, "Brother Spankie, his Majesty having been pleated to appoint you one of his Sergeants, I desire you will take your place in Court." The CHIEF JUSTICE then said that the Judges had taken into their consideration the Act of 2d William IV. cap. 39, which authorised them in making certain rules with respect to the regulation of business on circuit. The Judges had met yesterday and had laid down rules which they considered necessary and proper, and had forwarded copies of the same to the various officers of Assize, with in structions that the same may be posted in the various law offices. The COURT then proceeded to hear motions of no public interest. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Michaelmas Term, the Judges arrived in procession at Westminster-hall a few minutes after one o'clock, having met and breakfasted at Lincoln's inn according to custom. The LORD OttArtcEm.ort not being well enough to attend, their Lofdships were re ceived and entertained by the MASTER of the Bor.'s. Lord LYNDHURST, Barons BAYLEY, BOLLAND, and GURNEY took their seats in this Court, when Messrs. Beams, Swanston and Rolfe were called to the bar, having been appointed King's Counsel. Their Lordships then went through the bar and heard some motions of no public in terest. The LORD CHIEF BARON asked if there was any gen tleman prepared with motions for new trials. No one answered, and his Lordship said there seemed to be great apathy among them on the first day of term, which was generally last on that account, and the busi ness so thrown hack as to render it impossible for the Court to get through such motions within the four days to which they were limited.

NEW RAIL-RoAD.---A line of railway is projected from Limehouse, following the direction of the Commercial -road, to the termination of the East India Docks, and from thence across the marshes to a point a little below Woolwich, on the opposite side of the river, where it is intended to construct a steam-boat dock, so that steam-vessels will no longer navigate the pool, but enter here and land their passengers, from whence a train of carriages will be ready to take them to London, where it is expected they will arrive in less than half an hour.— Kentish Gazette.

CITY, T WEL VE O'CLOCK. We do not, as yet, hear of the arrival of the Dutch mail or steamer : the French mail is also due. In consequence of the non-arrivals, stockjobbing reports are put into circulation, of an embargo in Holland. No doubt bad weather prevents their arrival. A mail from Malta has arrived,—sailed on the 11th of Octo ber, and from Gibraltar on the 21st of October; also a mail from Vera Cruz,—fiailed 6th of September, and from Havan nah the 27th September. From Vera Cruz there is no news of importance. The civil war still continues. Eighty thou. sand dollars have arrived on board the packet on merchants' account. Halifax Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the 7th of October. PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND.—A rumour has been in circulation here, that his Majesty's Government has it in contemplation to annex this island to the Government of Nova Scotia. The following is posted at the North and South American Coffee-house : " Extract of a letter dated Halifax, Nova Scotia, Oct. 6 : You will receive this by the Government brig Chebucto, which takes to England our worthy Governor Sir P. Maitland, Lady, and family ; their departure is much regretted. Our province this season is unusually healthy, owing, no doubt, to the clemency of the weather, and the precautions taken to pre_ vent the introduction of the cholera.' " THE FUNDS. The Dutch merchants are somewhat alarmed this morning at the non-arrival of the steamers from Holland, as their anx iety is great to be informed how the Dutch Government and the people will receive our preparations, and those of the French Government, now making against them,as hitherto theytreated it with contempt, and positively did not think we were in earnest; but what will they say when they hear of a convention between Prussia and France, stipulating on conditions the entrance of the French troops into Belgium, as we mentioned in our city article of yesterday. This certainly must give another turn to the King of Holland's Cabinet, previous to which they knew well that our fleet and that of the French could make but little impression on them during the winter season, but the French army can march winter and summer, therefore, we are ' of opinion that this latter agreement between the French and Prussians will frighten the Dutch snore than all the fleets that can be brought against them. Consols, which left oft' yesterday at S 4 IA ya for the Account, opened at 84 %, since which the Market has remained heavy, and they have been done at S 4 N. Spanish Stock has receded 1 per cent., owing to the Spanish amnesty not being generally approved. BALF-PAST ONE. The French mail has arrived, but we do not hear as yet of the arrival of the Dutch steamers. The French mail brings accounts from Brussels stating positively that two Prussian corps are actually on their march; the first coming from the Prussian frontiers, by the way of Cologne, the second by Treves towards the French frontiers; also, that the Diet of Germany are assembling a considerable force in the environs of Deux Fonts. From Antwerp it is stated that they are reprovisioning the citadel. The French Funds are 10 per Cent. lower-67f. 95c.

MANCITESTFR, Om. SO. Last evt niag, upwards of 300 persons, inhabitants of this town and the neighbourhood, sat down to a dinner at Hayward's Hotel, given to Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P. for Middlesex, by the proprietors and projectors of a New Nfecbanica' Hall of Science, intended to be erected, of which Mr. Hume consented to become the patron. The company consisted of some of the principal merchants, ma. nufacturere, tradesmen, &c. Mr. RICHARD POTTER, the candidate for the borough of Wigan, took the chair, and on his right sat the Hon. Member for Middlesex. The CHAIRMAN introduced the business of the evening. Mr. NAYLOR, one of the Vice•Presidente, who was in troduced to the Meeting by the chairman as a " highly intelligible man," entered into a long detail of the origin and history of the Mechanics' Institution in Csoper•street, pointed out the errors in its constitution. and explained the reasons which had induced the Members of the New Institution to secede from the original establishment. Mr. HUME, on his health being drunk, rose to acknow ledge the teast, and delivered a speech which occupied up wards of an hour and a half in the delivery. He assured the company that it was not without great reluctance that he consented to allow his name to stand as patron to this institution, because be thought in this metropolis of inanufactures there were many gentlemen who could render it greater services than he could, residing as he did at a distance of 200 miles ; and he had only yielded when it was explained to him that the views of its promoters were congenial to his own. He would yield to no man in gee!, for an alteration in the system of education, and in the first few years of his public life be had devoted much of his spare time to the promotion of the Lancasterian schools, believing that the people were the dupes of ignorance, and that the system of Government was a system of misrule, which nothing but ignorance would submit to. Since he had written to the Society, explaining his views on general education, he had ascertained beyond a doubt that there ire funds in the country bequeathed for the purposes of education amply sufficient to educate every child in the kingdom on the very best principles, if they were pro perly applied; and therefore, although he had originally contemplated a parish-rate for the purpose of establishing schools, he now was satisfied that it might be done without calling upon the people for one shilling of additional taxes.—(Cheers.) It was his duty to call on Parliament to place those funds in proper hands, and should he have the honour to be returned in the Reformed Parliament a system of national education he stood pledged to bring forward. Daring the few short hours he had heen in Manchester be bad ascertained that one-third of the chil dren are not properly educated, and by education he did not mean merely reading and writing, but placing them under mental control, and making them sensible of the value of instruction, so that when they entered that field in which they had to obtain a livelihood they might be saved from the ordinary lures by which men are seduced into the paths of dishonesty and vice. —(Hear, hear.) All men, he maintained, were the creatures of habit; and hitherto the system under which we have lived has been exclusive in all its departments, exclusive in the Govern ment, exclusive in its corporations, and exclusive in its church ; and under every such exc►usive system bad go vernment was sure to follow. Until these causes were romoved it was only fighting against the winds and the waves to attempt any improvement in the condition of the people.—(Cheers.) As an instance of the abuses which existed in the disposal of money bequeathed for the pur poses of education, he would notice the Manchester Gram mer School. That establishment had a revenue of 4,000/. per annum, of which 1,069/. was paid in salaries to the masters, and about 150/. went to defray other incidental expenses. This money was left to teach the lower classes —and he would ask, had it answered the purpose for which it was intended ?—(Cries of " No, no.") Indeed it had not, for only 150 boys were educated at an expense of 4,0001. a year. Could any thing be more monstrous than this, when they considered that one- third of those who are capable of education in this town remained unedu. cated ?—(Cries of " Shame.") Look at the Lancaste rian School; there 1,000 children were educated at an expense of 4001. per annum. Look at these facts; and if he were to dilate for hours he could not furnish any more convincing proof of the itnpolicy of having self-elected Governors in such institutions. He firmly believed that if they were angels of the purest mould it would be im possible for them, under such a system, to avoid becomieg corrupt.—(Loud cheers.) He shuuld like to know whether any of those gentlemen TN ffses could ley their hands on their hearts and say that they had done their duty ?—(Hear.) Ought there, he asked, to be one child in Manchester uneducated while such funds were left for the purpose ?—(Loud cheers.) In other places even greater abuses than this existed; for instance, at St. Bees, one family had profited to the amount of some millions from the property bequeathed for education, and he was assured that if those fends were properly applied they would be sufficient to educate all the children in Cumberland. Mr. Hume then proceeded to contrast the system of education in England with that of Scotland, France, and the United States, giving the palm to the latter, and quoting from Parliamentary and other documents the number of children educated in the different countries. One of the reasons why education has failed to produce its proper effect in this country was, be cause it was in the bands of the clergy ! In attempting to establish Lancasterian schools, he had invariably found that when the Dissenters to It the lead they were always opposed by the clergy, and wherever the Diesentera of themselves were not strong enough to support the school, they could not establish it. With this fact before him, he felt justified in saying that the people would do wrong it they did not take the matter out of the hands of th;s clergy. Mr. Hume then proceeded at great length to point out the advantages which the country would derive front the establishment of institutions like the present, where labouring men could not only be instructed in the arts and sciences, but in politics also. Toe study of theology he would exclude, leaving that to the well endowed teachers of Christianity; but politics and politic tl economy were essential parts of the education of every man, and their study ought to be encouraged. He concluded by an nouncing that the subscription list would be handed round the room, for the purpose of receiving the names of those who wishcd to become subscribers. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. Mr. Manley, Mr. Prentice, Mr. George Hadfield, Mr. Baxter, and other gentlemen, and the proceedings tenni., nsted soon after 12 o'clock. We understand that br i s shares were taken in the room, 600 having been previa iiusly subscribed for. The Ex-Duke of BRUNSWICK arrived at Geneva a short time ago, and stayed there a very few days. He lodged at the house of a person named LEMAN, wan whom he contrived to run up a considerable score. He has since disappeared, nobody knows whither be is gone, le.tving his Secretary in what may be termed an awkward scrape. The family of the Marquis of BATH have been couch afflicted during the last week by the death of Lord GEORGE THYNNE (sixth surviving son of the Noble Mars quis), who expired on board the Mountstuart Elphinstone East Indianian, on the 19th of last month. Lord GEORQE was appointed to an Ensigncv in the 40th Regiment of Foot, on the 25th November last, and proceeded to 111111- bl to join his corps, but, in consequence of the climate seriously affecting his health, he was invalided, and ex pired on board the Mountstuart, on his passage home, Lord GEORGE THYNNE was in his 24th year. Mr. KEAN is engaged at Drury-lane, and appears there on Monday, in the character of Shylock. To make the " cast" as complete as possible, BRAHA➢L will, much to his credit, make his first appearance ag Lo,enzo in the play. The records of nonsense and of mis-judge rnent afford nothing so absurd and egregious as the caprice which distinguishes actors and actresses in the choice and refusal of pmts. That excellent actor MACREADY is said to have refused a part because it contained neither bowl nor dagger, which he said he held to be essential to him as " first tragedian.' Had JOHN KEMBLE refused Pen rudduck on the same score, how much of his subsequent fame must be have forgone! PERLET, tile well-known French comic actor, is now playing at the Hague, and performing, say the Paris papers, greater prodigies than he has yet achieved, by making the grave Dutchmen laugh. Even the Kiwi, albeit not much of a gay turn, has been observed to enjoy the humour of the artiste, and, forgetting his csres, join in the laughter of his subjects at. him. PEaLET is now about to change his band to the serious, and try how fir he can succeed in making the H.dlanders weep. H e i s announced for a part in the Tart uffe.
