The Select Committee on the Education of th• Lower Orders in the Metropolis have agreed upon the following Re port Your Committee have been prevented, by accidental cir cumstances, from making further progress in the inquiry re ferred to them ; but being impressed with a deep sense the importance of the subject, they recommend that it should be taken up at an early period of the next Session. " Your Committee baying considered the information com municated to them during the last Session, from various parts of the country, touching the state of education, and m ore particularly the misapplication of funds destined, by gift, be quest, or devise, to that purpose, are of opinion that it would be expedient to extend the instructions under which they act, so as to embrace an inquiry into the education of the lower orders generally througnout England and Wales." NEWFOUNDLAND. Tile undivided attention of the inhabitants of Newfoundland has been for some time fixed on a ques:ion of importance, wi,ich was agitated in Parliament last Session—tbe legitimacy of the marriages solemnized in that Colony. The Me tho,list Ministers had taken upon themselves to solemnize marriages, stating that the Marriage Act of England (lid not extend to th a t C o l ony, and that it was legal not only for the m to so _ lenmize marriages, but even that Episcopal Mi nisters without licence, or Layman, had the same privilege. it, consequence of this, aprlications were made direct to the Government of E ng l„,,d ; the event has been the following official commu nication, which we find in a Halifax Paper : Provirerial Secretary Offire, :Img% 19,1817. The following Copy of a Letter from Earl Bathurst to his Excellency the Lient -Governor, is published by authority " Downing-Street, May 31, 1817. " MY Logn,—Herewith I have the honour of inclosing to your Lordship an order of his 'Royal Highness the Prince Regent in Conncil, dated the 26th ult. disallowing an Act passed by the Legislature of the Province of Nova Scotia in 1816, entitled, An Art to explain the Acts concerning Mar riage and Divorce, passed in the 55d year of his late Nlaje3tyrit' trig, and the first year of his present Majesty's reign.

THE SUN. 3OLEM QUJS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1817. This morning we received the . Paris rapers of Monday.last. The following are Extracts : " PARts, Sari. B.—Yesterday, after Mass, the King received the Ambassadors, Ministers, Marshals, Ste. The new Ministers of War and Marine were present. " Daring the storm . nn Friday, the lightning struck the hospital Saint Antoine : it penetrated the sick ward, but without -injuring any person. The lightning also struck three times at Arcueil : the first time, alooln full of children, the second, in a court, and the third, in a field ; no damage was done. " The intelligence from the Tyrol is afflicting. After a southerly wind, which lasted three days, the Inn and the Syll rose on a sudden higher than in 1769. The torrents have carried awis'y trees, bridges, and buildings. " The amount of the National Guards of Paris was on the Ist inst. 30,111 effective men, 6,716 non effective, and 268 Cavaliers, mounted and equipped. Total 37,095. " During the last month there sailed from Havre 166 merchant vessels, viz. 84 French, 15 Americans, 47 Engli6h, 3' Belgian, 5 Danish, 4 Dutch, 1 Norwegian, 3 Russian, and 4 Swedish. " On the 7th instant an affray took place at Bourdeaux. amongst several individnals assembled 'at a public-house. The guards camel() qua the disorder, but were assailed by stones and sticks, and were nailer the necessity of using their arms. Four shots were fired, by which some of the rioters, were slightly wounded. " The Prince and .Princess de Radzivil have arrived here with a suite of fifteen persons-. Yesterday before Mass the King received, at a private audience, the Duchess de San Carlos, the wife of the Spanish Ambassador to the Court of London. The Duke sets out to-morrow for London. " The King of Prussia is expected at Berlin on the 25th instant. " 'They write. from Lausanne, that the Rhine has devastated the country from Ragatz to the Lake of Constance. This river in the night be tween the 27th and 28th ult, rose above all the embankments, and alter having broken down the greater part of them, it precipitated itself into the plains, and destroyed the finest harvest. Haag and Salez, in Werdenherg, Diepoltsan, Sebuietter, and Wionau, in the Rhinthal, are under water. The vallies to Bernang present to the view an im mense Lake; boats are plying in places where water had never before been seen. At Trub- Inch the Rhine has inundated the salt warehouses. Oberied was the only place where the popula tion, who assembled at the sound of the tocsin, were enaided to resist the torrent. In several places the water has quitted the old bed of the River, which is dry at,d covered with sand. " LAUSANNE, SEPT. 9.—The Merchants of Coire have agreed to advance 300,000 florins for the construction of a road from C►►ire to Benin zone by Mount Bernaifiin. It will open into Piedmont, and establish a communication with Genoa, without touching upon Lombardy." [Front the New Yorh Commercial Advertiser of August 20.] Arrived last evening the schooner Hermit: from St. Mary's; sailed Aug. 7. The day before the Hermit sailed, a report was circulating at St. Mary's, that a small Patriot privateer had been captured in St. John's River by a party of Spa niards, and her ciew, consisting of aboAtt 18 men, nearly all put to death. She was said to be the small clinker-built schooner which was lately picked up in this river by the revenue cutter Gal latin, Captain Ross. [From the Boston Commercial Advertiser of August 181 The brig Sally, BARKER, from St. Salvador, arrived here last night ; on the 19th of July was chased 6 hours by 2 schooners; a brig in cow-- • . ' zany WAS fired at n times b'y one of them, under Spanish colours, brought. la, and ordered on board; after 'examining het 1 . - ;aPeti wtt permitted to iiroceed, stating that she kva's lionn'd a different course; said he fired at the Sal 13AltaHrt, be cause he took her to be a Spanish brig, prize to a schooner he had chased early in the morning, Capt. Derneet could not find out .There the vessels were from, or their names. The schooner ‘vhi i sh brought the Sally brig to had 12 guns and a long 241 b. brass piece on a pivot, and full of tacit. It is sail that "sonic young Wirtemberg Emi grants in the Ernited States haYe Sent borne for wives, and girls from 12 to 18 years of age have been engaged, and are now on their way to be married to their countrymen. The private ship Dorah arrived off Plymouth, from Bengal, the 16th inst.; left St. Helena the 28th July.—The ships Thomas Grenville and Lord Castlereagh, outward bound, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope the 6th July lair. EXTRAtT OF A LETTER FROM OUR CORRE6PONDENT AT LIVERPOQL, DATED SEPT. 16. I have no Arrivals to report from the United States since my last.

Sailed this day, the liiimisquam, Moses Brovsa, and Loon, for New York; Jane, for Philadelphia; Arminius, for Balti more; and Lord Whitworth, for Savannah.. This day's market—American Flour, 46i. per barrels. We recur to the subject of the changes in the French Cabinet, which seem to have created a very active warfare among The Chronicle, The Courier, and The Times. The increasing power, atut. reported preparations of Russia seem to have alarmed all the combatants, if we can understand dick iiwaning.—For oqr part, we conceive it is not only the duty of Rnssia, but of every Conti nental Government, to look with alarm towards the Revolutionary Power which appears to be re vi-Ving its France.—All the loyal supporters of the Throne seem to be gradually divested of power and influence, and their places to be filled by men who are hackneyed in revolutionary move ments, and who, like the Tiger, which hav ing once tasted human blood, thirsts for it again, are anxious to recover that authority in the State which they could only enjoy under 'a Revolutionary Government. While these men exercised their authority under BUONAPARTE, his terrific character, and his known subtlety, kept them under some restraint, lint what are they to fear from the present infirm and aged Monarch, who is too mild and too sincere for such men I The three Belligerent Journals therefore to which we have alluded, seem not to have reflected on the nature and the -probable 'course thin t is. For ourselves we think Russia is acting with wise f,resight in preparing for events, observing the gradual and alarming construction of the French Cabinet, and we are supported- in opinion by many judicious and intelligent Politicians in ap.., prehending the worst consequence on the death of the King of FRANCE, and the removal of the Army of Occupation, which may indeed be con sidered as the safeguard. of Europe. The Morning Chronicle must have disappointed the Public, and has certainly brought discredit on itself.—it insinuated that the Conductor of THE SUN did not commence his '' literary career in support of liberal opinions," and when this im pudent and fallacious charge is denied, instead of attempting a justification, or offering a gentle manly apology, it contents itself this day with the following despicable attempt at a sarcasm "The Editor of .TirE SUN is erirnestly dt,irous of be•its; relieved froiu the imputation of consistency. lle arers that 4 he comtnenced his literary career in support ut liberal upi- 'lions.' " We appeal to the Public whether there is an ) appearance of liberality or justice in this most lame and ,impotent conclusion.", We have a tight to pride ourselves on consistency; but a eon. sisteney of a better description than that of Tlu Chronicle, which has been consistent in support ing all the horrible outrages and all the delusiv, sophisty of Fitince, and in constantly reviling own country. Indeed its sentiments are so wild. so loose, and so uncertain, except as we repeat .- in a uniform attempt to degrade its own coup- try and abuse others, that it might almost be ques tioned whether it has any sense of national feeling . at all. But whe:i it accuses people audaciously r ~~ und falsely, ant)). Laving coizot,e need " th' ir terary career in summit of lioeritl oplaidil3, what must be said of itS id6l Mr. Fox, ‘i'll° c "" l ' menced his career as the tool of a 3. l in i ' ster, and sc . ) he :vould, no doubt, have continur4; if it stiited his purpose, or it a virtuous, tfi se, ?n illustriOus Opponent bad not started forth , and by superiority of talent, and the inost , (erested Patr:otism, driven him into desP air ; and rendered hi m an un appeasable etlenl all Administrations in which he could not have a share. li e somet i mes h e ld one d o c t rine respect' ing the duty of a Parliamentary Representativ.e' and sottietitneS another ; and whatever might be . id, skill as a nebutri, he has left no record of legislatiVe wisdom, while his rash and unrettactr euloginm on the French Revolution proved that's: was titterly destittite of pOlitical foresight, dig nifie d contrition, or " the blushes of ingenuous shame. Shall, then, the besotted advocate of such a l, dare to accuse any b o dy of be g i nn i n g public in " with a want of regard to liberal opinions We el t ' Peet Something more than a paltry sarcasm froo The Chronicle after its . uninst and venomous in sii neat ion. A notice hat been officially its led by the E a,t. India Company, that the Inter( 9t On India lion ° will be. after the expiration of six months , re i dnced front sto 4 p er cen t. O ur Re a ders wi l . find an Advertisement to this effect iri is of to-day. The Times of this day contains the following 0 paragraph : " We have the strongest reason for believing- that it is the contemplation of Government to reduce the interest oin'l34 the next issue of Exchequer Bills t o 2d. r day; ald .4 • Merchants loot; with confidence to the Bank's beg i "" ii4 t° discount good Bilis at the rate of 4 per cent." A paragraph with the same intimation woo sent to us three days ago, but our enquiries, at the time, induced us to believe that nothing fr °l/3 authority has pet transpired on the subject. 61-111' NEWS.
