The education grant, proposed by the Government, vas last night acceded to by the House of Commons with but very little opposition. The whole debate upon that subject has been most interesting, and its result most satisfactory. And it has been in teresting, not because great men were numbered along its speakers, or because their discourses were nnimated with eloquence, but because its theme was most important and consequently a most interesting tile, namely, the education of the great body of the people. J3eyond this, the result of that debate has been most satishletory, not again because 'a large majority demonstrated the power of the Govern ment, but because during that debate principles were laid down and affirmed as forcibly and as effec tively as if carried by the most overwhelming ma jority. And these principles —princip les which we might have supposed would hardly h ave affirmation at the present day—were, in the first place, that the education of the lower classes is a matter of the most urgent necessity; secondly, that it is advisable, in such an all-important affair, for the Government to interfere ; and, lastly, that the assis tance consequent upon such interference should be ex tended to all the different sects into which Christianity is unhappily divided. These great principles, of which the last, though technically negatived, was virtually affirmed,—these great principles were the topics of the debate incident to the Government measure—a measure which was introduced by the straightforward explanation of Lord J. RUSSELL, and enforced by the emphatic approval of Sir ROBERT PEEL; which ob tained the strenuous advocacy of the present Secre tary of State, and the hearty concurrence of his predecessor; which, moreover, elicited the earnest eloquence of Mr. MACAULAY, and the mag nanimous co- operation of Lord AnuirDEL. But, after all, what is this Government measure, from which so much is expected, and to which, strangely enough, so much opposition has been raised ? It is, in reality, very simple, very little in itself, so little indeed that Lord J. RUSSELL antici pates the general exclamation, " Is this all ? are you doing nothing more ?" It is for this very character istic, however, that we are chiefly inclined to welcome it. By attempting little, the Government are likely to do much. " This is not a final measure," ob served Sir GEORGE GREY, "In the meantime we ask you for these means," said Lord JOHN RUS SELL, adverting to greater things which may take place hereafter. It is precisely in this light, as an incipient reform, as a progressive benefit—that we regard and that we value these new education minutes. Few as are the reforms contained in them, they are nevertheless very important ones. The money voted for educational purposes has for the most part hitherto been employed in the construction of schools, the Lords of the Council have therefore now thought fit to turn their attention from the number to the nature of these schools, and instead of erecting new ones to endeavour to ameliorate the condition of the old. For this purpose, in the first place, more inspectors will be required ; and secondly (impressed with the conviction that, in order to im prove both school and scholars, it is absolutely neces sary to improve the schoolmaster), they have framed a series of resolutions likely to be of great and last ing benefit. Beautifully and truthfully has Lord JOHN RUSSELL expatiated upon the value of the teaching of a good master, as contrasted with the lessons of an inefficient or indifferent master : and in order to procure the inestimable advantage of good instructors, the Government have determined not only to reward the meritorious during the discharge of their laborious duties, and to pension them when unfit for further service, but also by a system of apprenticeship to prepare them in their youth for the duties hereafter to devolve upon them. Were it only for this one portion, upon the de tails of which it is not necessary now to enter, the proposed scheme would be most valuable ; but when united with similar, though perhaps minor reformations, and above all, when coupled with the assurance that this is but a begin ning, and that better things are in prospect, the Go vernment measure elicits our hearty and almost entire approbation. We have said almost, for surely it is not necessary for us to state that we cannot concur with the one exclusive clause of this otherwise very liberal measure. In dispensing Government assist ance to the various schools scattered over the country, Churchmen and Dissenters will alike be cared for, even the Wesleyans will now be admitted, while an equally loyal portion of their fellow-countrymen will still be neglected and overlooked. Half-a-million of money, Lord Join RUSSELL tells us, has already been expended for educational purposes, but of that sum not one shilling, he tells us, has been devoted to these religionists; and so it is still to continue So it is to continue, although, the Prime Minister himself, although Sir GEORGE GREY, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and almost every speaker, whether in favour of, or opposed to the Government, strongly and strenuously declared their opinion to the contrary! Why this should be we leave it to the impartiality of unbigotted multitudes to determine ? Why this should be we have not sufficient indifference to the cause of religious toleration to pause and deliberate with calmness ? Turning to a less embarrassing consideration : The Dissenters have very properly objected to a Church monopoly in education ; their rights are now to a certain extent admitted ; let them join with the Church in showing similar liberality elsewhere. Let them remember that however strong may be our belief in the religious error of any sect, that that is no reason for keeping them in ignorance. The principal objection to the new measure, the one, indeed, upon which all depended, namely, whether the Government had a right to interfere in state edu cation, was handled in the most masterly manner by Mr. MACAULAY. Not satisfied with his own impres sive eloquence, he enforced his arguments with the most unanswerable logic. It is the clear duty of a Government (he tells us) to protect life and property ; ignorance endangers life and property ;—consequently it becomes the duty of Government to employ educa tion as a preventive. Otherwise, nothing is left but force and punishment, which latter mode is unfortunately too much preferred. " More than half of those now in our penal colonies might have been honourably and usefully employed on their native soil, if the State had expended, in forming them into honest men, but a small part of what has been expended in inflicting misery on rogues:' Further on, he tells us that Government appears to be regarded as " the great hangman of the age ; the business of Govern ment is to do nothing for the repression of crime among its subjects, except by harsh and degrading means; from the employment of all means towards that end which operate by elevating the intellectual and moral nature of man, Government is excluded." It is unnecessary, however, to pursue the argument, suffice it that the principle of Government interference has been admitted, and is being acted upon. Men have recognised the advisability, nay more, the paramount necessity (to refer to an observation quoted by Lord J. RUSSELL) " of placing a guide-post at the begin ning of a man's life rather than a gibbet at the end of it." In order to do this, however, it is necessary that unanimity should prevail. " While we are fight ing and squabbling about points of difference," said Sir R. Ptair., " we are neglecting that which, in all Christian lands, ought to be a subject of deep consideration, namely, the enlightenment of the people in Christian principles—the . improvement of their intellectual culture and their instruction in secular knowledge, I believe that true charity, true poucy, and true regard for religious truth ought to encourage us to lay aside our differences—to con template the magnitude of the present evil, and to teach the children of all sects the great truths of Christianity." Upon these beautiful and truly liberal words all comment were superfluous. Again, referring to the constant disputes between Churchmen and Dissenters, he exclaims—" While this is going on, what is becoming of the 800 children born every day, of the 300,000 added yearly to our population ?" Such a demand is, indeed, unanswer able ; such a figure is, indeed, appalling, At the very lowest computation, according to a calculation referred to by Lord J. RUSSELL, it appears that in every ten years nearly 1,250,000 individuals are thrown upon society, " who have never had a place in any day school." More than one hundred and And yet, twentype rhaps, thousand yearly ! I s no t th e sum appalling ? such things whqlesal:te .irehatw so eharhdal y b i t n u o a m t ed pr h t e o n d view e full magnitude of their meaning. In the same way i h c h records w e re e aodf battles'his n d a nd victories,pro c e e d „ s unmoved n h r o w u h g i thousand prisoners, so many thousand left dead upon the field ;" they are mere words, and we read them as such ; they affect us no more than a similar memorandum of so many liieces of cannon taken. But, as it has been remarked, an d doubtless often experienced, let u`tr but enter int o details; let us but select one individual from th e g h as tly group—view him in his death a gony—listen to his tortwed shrieks —witheas his final .struggles How tame, then, and inglorious will seem the record of the victory so purchased ; how terrible, then, will be the thought that thousands in a similar condition were " left upon the field !" Much in like manner is it with the records now before us ; how many will think upon the 1,250,000 children " who have never attended any day school," and mention the number, perhaps, as a startling fact or a striking truth, just as they would talk of so many thousand acres, or of a similar amount of taxes. Let them but descend to par ticulars, and endeavour, if possible, to think what a life they must lead who are so " totally ig norant of the merest rudiments of knowledge." What a blank must be their minds ! how desolate their hearts I Not desolate, alas, but full of vicious propensities. It is unnecessary, however, now to dwell upon a picture so gloomy ; a reformation has commenced, and however small t►nd apparently trivial it may be, we nevertheless hail it thankfully. There is one plea, be it observed, among the many myriads in favour of education, which is certainly most impressive and most forcible. It is the thought of the future=a thought which ih important matters is too often wanting. In trifles it is otherwise. Who ever planted a seed without thinking of the flower, or an acorn without foreseeing the oak-tree ? Who ever lays the first stone without some thought of the edifice ; or the first plank without anticipating the ship ? Happy, were there a similar calculation in all circumstances ! Let us look onwards, therefore,—let us imagine a hundred years to have elapsed; the grass to have grown over our heads, a new generation to be occupying our places. Let us think of this ; let us— " See a bright race our spacious courts adorn, See future sons and daughters yet unborn, On every side in crowding ranks they rise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies." The chief elements of human nature have been per haps always much the same in different countries, yet what amazing changes may be effected in the temper and conduct of an individual, and in the general cha racter of a nation Let us but continue to contem plate the subject, let us but comprehend the reality, and how awful does the responsibility not appear ! We lament the errors and sorrows of the present day, errors perhaps too great for reparation, sorrows two deep for remedy; but let us not, while lamenting the past, and, perhaps, grieving for the pre sent, forget that the future, in a great measure, is in our hands. " The youth of a nation are the trustees of posterity," said the eloquent author of Coningsby ; let us confide to those trustees the precious deposit 01 a religious and liberal education ; let us store their minds with ennobling truths, and their hearts with Christian sentiments, to be by them transmitted to that future generation which we shall never behold, but which shall thus have cause to remember us with gratitude and benedictions. The news from America, just received by the ship Rainbow, which sailed from New York on the 3d instant, is important and interesting. The papers furnish us with more detailed accounts of the belli gerent operations under the auspices of the American Generals Scan' and TAYLOR. The former had landed 12,000 men within three miles of Vera Cruz, and succeeded in completely investing the city and castle. This result was accom plished without any difficulty worthy of no• tice. A few skirmishes took place between the opponents, and nothing more. Of these, however, the Americans give us a most inflated version, scion leur rigle. They anticipated a speedy surrender on the part of the besieged, than which nothing is more likely, seeing that from the first the Mexicans have made it no part of their policy to offer any stout re sistance to the capture of Vera Cruz. We have copies of General TAYLOR'S dispatches, three in number, dated the 24th and 25th February and the Ist March respectively. The first was written at Buena Vista, the second at Saltillo, and the last at Agua Nueva. From these we have the General's own account of his engagements with the . forces under SANTA ANNA. He estimated his own loss at not les: than 700 men, which he describes as " very severe." It appears that SANTA ANNA left Agua Nueva on the 27th of February, in the direction of San Luis Po tosi. General TAYLOR had decided upon resuming his head-quarters at Monterey, evidently with the apprehension that his line of communication to the rear remains exposed to interruption. He admits that he has already suffered some distressing casualties from the arrangements which the Mexicans had made to in tercept his retreat, in case they had forced the strong line he had occupied in front of Buena ViAtA, where the greatest amount of slaughter occurred. It is evident that when the Mexicans were repelled in their attack, on the 23d of February, great as might have been their loss, their rout could have been nothing like the account given of it by the Americans, as contained in the former advices brought by the Hi bernia; since, in General TAYLOR'S own dispatch from Saltillo, he admitted the possibility of the at tack upon him being renewed, which he stated he was prepared to receive, should the "main Mexican force" venture to make it. Moreover, the ,respective armies had, at that time, just effected an arrangement for an exchange of pri soners, which is an additional reason for excepting to the exaggerated representation which was made of the total discomfiture of the Mexican troops. It re sults from the intelligence under review, that General TAYLOR'S position is still beset with difficulty. With respect to Vera Cruz, nothing will be gained by its acquisition, seeing that the climate of itself would decimate the Americans, far more effectively than the hostile use of the implements of war. Indeed, so much is this dreaded, that General SCOTT, after he shall have obtained possession of the citadel, will, it is believed, immediately consign it to destruction. A reconnoitering squadron will then, it is thought, be appointed to prevent the Mexicans from again availing themselves of Vera Cruz during the con tinuance of the war. The accounts from Ireland are still in the highest degree gloomy and unfavourable. Pestilence is raging throughout the land, and cutting off its vie-- tims, who, weakened by the destitution and the in sufficiency of wholesome food during the winter and spring, have little strength left to enable them to re sist its ravages. Many in a more comfortable situa tion of life, who have had ample supplies of food at all times, have also perished under the fierce attacks of the prevailing malady. No class is spared, the highest and the lowest are alike sufferers—magis trates, clergymen of every sect or denomination, landed proprietors, and farmers, are in turn afflicted, as well as the half-starved labourer. Typhus broods over the entire land, and whole families are swept away under its fatal influence. Indeed it could scarcely he hoped that something of the kind would not take place from the neglect of the ordinary rites of sepul ture that has too frequently occurred. Bodies have been suffered to remain unburied for days and weeks; coffins have been dispensed with, and many huddled into one common grave, with scarcely a covering of sods. In Westport we read that no less than fifteen corpses were cast into a hole in a sandpit without a sufficiency of earth to cover them. Equally harrowing accounts are received from other parts of the country. While such things are tolerated or permitted, how can it be supposed that the public health can be preserved ? The atmosphere is tainted, and malaria engendered on every side. Surely it is time that boards of health should be established in every dis trict, and means taken to counteract, as far as prac ticable, the fearful scourge. The necessity of State interference respecting the sanatory condition of the people has now been fully recognised. An impor tant measure is at this moment before the Legisla ture, by which the most efficient means will be adopted to preserve that greatest blessing, health, and to do away with the causes by which it may be impaired or deteriorated. If such a measure is im peratively demanded in this more favoured country ; if a general feeling in its favour is prevalent, surely a tenfold necessity exists for some energetic steps being taken on behalf of unhappy, plague stricken Ireland, which has been reduced to the con dition of a pest-house. It may be impossible at once to subdue the disease, but every exertion should be used to arrest its progress, and to abate its virulence. A supply of food is not the only neces sity of the people. Without an adequate supply the, guitgt rearenlotyf gi g antic efforts eseffevleoerrsytsst;ho but f n utht e else that Gov havinge wo r nm u e l d nbt e b ae e unavailing nndtheb providede benev o lent e and bvyo lethnet contributions of the British people, measures THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 24, 1847. should be introduced by which due and fitting ac commodation would be provided for the sick, with suitable medicines and medical attendance. ,The dead should be properly and respectfully interred, and every means of prevention had recourse to. Some thing must speedily be done, or many valuable lives will be lost. A few days would be sufficient to introduce the enac ments, and to organise the staff that might be required. Every hour's delay may increase the evil to a fearful extent. Local committees should be formed without loss of time, and whenever the persons more immediately interested put themselves in communi cation with the Executive, and show that they are really anxious to help themselves, we doubt not but that they will receive the most prompt, ready, and effi cient co-operation of the authorities. Madrid papers of the 17th have arrived. The Gagfta announces the appointment of General RONCALI as Captain-General of Gallicia, in the room of General VILLALONGA, who has resigned. Her MAJESTY has nominated Luis Lopez Ballestero3, Beltram de Lis, the Duke of Sotomayor, Joaquim Fagoaga Mendizabal, Canter°, Carriquirri, Mariano Miguel Reinoso, the director of the Sinking Fund Board, the Accountant-General of the kingdom, and the Director-General of the National Property, as members, of a Committee to prepare a plan for regu lating the Public Debt of Spain. It is said that the Marquis of GERONA will be ap pointed Ambassador to Rome. MADRID BOLSA, Aram 17.—The Three per Cents. closed at 31i for cash; the Five per Cents. at 20; the Debt without interest at 6 ; and the Coupons at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The motion of M. DE REMIISAT was negatived on a majority of 49, th e num b ers b e i ng, against it 219.

The Address of the Prussian Diet, in answer to the speech from the throne, is the subject of a very well written article in La Presse. After stating that it is to be hoped the draught of the address may be modified, in order that too decided an opposition may not alarm the good dispositions of the Crown, or furnish to it a pretext for withdrawing the conces sions which are in the course of execution, the Presse thus comments upon the personal situation of the KING : " The personal situation of Frederick William, as a man and as a monarch, is serious. He will have committed an imprudent act if he have not calculated all its bearings, for be can neither accept the pretensions of the united Diet without abandoning the absolute power which he is endea vouring to maintain, nor can he dissolve the Diet without weakening his consideration abroad and the affection of his people at home. Such a demonstration as that at present made in Berlin is an irrevocable fact. Prussia wishes to be a constitutional monarchy. She proclaims her will in that respect by the organ of her Diet. This determination must prevail, or it will be demonstrated that the Prussian mo narchy is no longer in accord with its people. We must, therefore, hope that those opposite pretensions will be con ciliated—that the Diet will assume the initiative of the com promise —and that the King will lend himself to it." The National has the following gunpowder article on the dispute between Turkey and Greece : " The diplomatic relations between Greece and Turkey are decidedly broken off. The Greek Cabinet has allowed the period prescribed by the Divan to pass, without submitting co the humiliating terms dictated by it. The Greek Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople has no longer any official commu nication with the Porte. The Ottoman Government has made known this state of things to the Great Powers by a memo randum, in which it explains the motives of its conduct, and its determination to persist in its pretensions. Three English ',hips of the line, the Vanguard, Albion, and Spartan, have entered the Pirwus, and are waiting the orders of the British Ambassador at Athens. This force is evidently designed to decide the fall of the Greek Cabinet. Thus will be ob tained, by the intimidation produced by the English can non upon the Hellenic. Government, the result which had been hoped for from 'the fear of a rupture with Turkey. The intention of Great Britain.is evident. It is resolved to have, coute qui coute, the overthrow of the Coletti Ministry, and, as a consequence, the admission into power of men who would be under the thumb of Sir E. Lyons. To establish the preponderant influence of England in Greece is the avowed object of Lord Palmerston. Defeated on the diplomatic ground, the English Ministry does not shrink from making a warlike manifestation, and the three ships now in the Pir t eus t es tify th a t G rea t Britain is ready to use force if it be necessary to ensure the triumph of its interests. But, we will ask the French Government, do you intend to submit to this state of things? Will you suffer England to Arrogate to herself the right of imposing her will on Greece, And by main force overthrow a Cabinet whose only crime is having shown a degree of preference for France? Will it allow a country placed under our protection to be violated by a foreign power ? Does not the armed demon stration made against Coletti directly attack us ? If we submit to it, will it not establish a dangerous precedent for the future ? Let these questions he answered if they can be. The question lies between England and us. If Coletti suc cumbs, we shall be vanquished. If the Ministry does submit to this, we shall not be surprised. but is there no one in the Chamber to call the Cabinet to account before the facts be accomplished? In the presence of this strange daring of the English Cabinet, the path 05 the French Government is clearly traced out, that of first protecting diplomatically, and of supporting its protest by sending immediately a squadron to Athens. We know no other mode of proceeding. Great Britain must be convinced that France is firmly resolved to maintain the independence of a nation placed under her pro tection, and at the same ; tine to defend her interests in the Mediterranean.. The gauntlet has been thrown down—it must be taken up 1' With regard to this article, we would fain ask, when, and by what treaty, Greece was placed under the exclusive protection of France, as assumed by this writer, and whether Russia and England have not the same rights,' as protesting Powers, that France has ? This assumption of exclusive protection is an usurpation on the part of France, and the the de struction of French exclusive influence in Greece will be merely a restoration of the status quo.

The business of the day was commenced with the reading of the report, which spoke highly of the progress of cb a ia d vnee t d h h e e school. nosft ru.c tion o o r n e c during t a i theatae d t l o al u stt s h a e n 3 d .e s eart s a t b u ii dinsehnmtt the een h tv. a adr The o r h e i the institution and the conduct of the pupils of the college I efforts of the hospital attached to the medical department had been instrumental in relieving a vast deal of misery; during the year 17,823 patients had been relieved. To the list of scholarships instituted in former years, a scholarship called the " Daniell " scholarship had been added, intended to encourage the science of chymistry. The progress of the theological students had been favourable. A. Chinese pro fessorship had been established. In closing their report the council stated, that they could not omit the expression of their fervent thankfulness to the Giver of all Good for the prosperity he had vouchsafed to the college, and their 1 earnest prayers that he would be pleased still further to bless their labours. The report having been adopted unani mously' the Rev. Dr. Spry moved, and Arc hdeacon Harrison seconded, a resolution for the re-election of the retiring members of the council, with the addition of Mr. Newell Connop, in the room of the late Duke of Northumberland. Mr. Alderman Thompson, the treasurer, was then re-elected, after which a vote of thanks was passed to the Bishop of Winchester for his conduct in the chair, to which the Right Rev. Prelate having replied, the proceedings were terminated. The receipts for the last year were, 30,3831. 4s. Bd. ; the expenditure, 27,6481. 6s. 3d.—leaving a balance of 2,7341. 18s. sd. FAMINE RELIEF FUND FOR IRELAND AND SCOT AND.—Yesterday the committee of the British Association for the Relief of Distress in Ireland and Scotland made a report of the sums received by them, which anlounts to above 385,0001., of which 165,000/. has been received from the Secretary of State foT the Home Department, being part of collection under the Queen's letter. Amongst the donations received during the past week are liberal sums from Nova Scotia, Guiana, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, the Hague, and from the Dutch and English gentlemen at Rotterdam. THE GREAT BRIT AlN.—Advices from Dundrum Bay state, that on Saturday last this noble ship, as soon as the water was about three-quarters up, rose with it until high water, when she appeared from the shore to be nearly level. This is an encouraging circumstance, and bids us I hope she may yet be got off once again into the pro ud waters I of the Atlantic. We may observe that her stores, &c., are to be sold by auction, by Messrs. Winstanley and Son, of Liver pool, in a few days. THE REF. D. ROBINSON AND MRS.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool is described in some ac counts as having been rather steadier yesterday. Sales, 23,650 bales. • Stock now 516,970 bales against 841,240 bales at this time last year. American sorts have declined %d. to Ud. per lb., and Brazil, Egyptian, and Surat %d. to V t d. per lb.—Railway Shares were again decidedly worse, and at lower rates buyers were " shy." The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. La mond and Co., participated in the general decline, and the quotations must be considered again a shade lower. The following are a few of the principal sales: — Calcutta and St. George's Point £0 2 0 East Indian Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire .... 0 9 6 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 4 17 0 North Staffordshire Liverp. Manch. and Newcastle-upon-Tyne 0 19 0 Shrewsbury and Birmingham (A) 3 15 0 Eastern Counties, York Extension ... 5 5 0 Louvain ala Sambre 1 1 I South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 1 14 0 Great Northern ... 2 19 6 South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 5 1 0 Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 1 15 0 Northern Counties Union The Bauk of England statement for the week to April 17 exhibits many important features, viz.:— Notes Issued, Decrease Rest, increase Public deposits, decrease Other deposits, decrease Seven-day and other bills, decrease 77,494 Other securities, decrease .. 1,025,376 Notes unemployed, decrease 274,600 Bullion Decrease The statement is so far explanatory as to need but little comment. The active circulation has not been much reduced, because the directors have made use of some of the unemployed notes in the banking department to accommodate the public. This so far is as it should be, but the bullion left in the " banking" department is getting too low, 528,741 L, to allow of the operation going much further. The question arises, " What is a sufficient reserve of notes and coin to carry on the banking busines?" for no one denies that the issue department is well taken care of, while most consider that it locks up far too much money. We shall no doubt find less bullion leave the country in con sequence of the Bank screwing ; but is it not a serious matter, that to accomplish this the mercantile interest should be so severely punished? The Bank must perforce restrict its discounts to keep the coin, and to obtain coin the " ex change" capitalists will lessen the amount of their balances. Hence the decline in the other securities and other deposits. The Funds are very depressed again this morning. Con sols have been 86% to 85% for present transfer, and 86% to 86 for Account.

It was an action of trover against the overseers of St. Martin's, a parish in the county of the city of Norwich, and was brought by the plaintiff, who was the proprietor of a public-house, called the Maid's Head, situated within that parish. It appears he had fitted up the establishment, but the license had been taken out in the name of a person named Charles Geddings, who carried on the business for a time. The distress levied was for church-rates, and wine to the amount of the claim was taken in execution. Rule refused, as the venue was improper. COMMON PLEA S.-(T HIS DAY.). SITTINGS IN BANCO. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning with motions, but none of them involved any points of interest. The Courts rose at half-past one, to assemble in the Exchequer Chamber to hear arguments in crown cases, reserved from the circuits. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John White, who was remanded from last week on a charge of writing a begging letter to Lord Lincoln, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Henry this morning. No turther evidence was adduced. The prisoner persisted in his former defence, and Mr. HENRY sentenced him to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FRIDAY, APRIL 23. DARING ATTEMPT TO BREAK INTO THE NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND. About half-past one o'clock en Thursday morning the manager was disturbed by a noise at the shutters, and on throwing up the sash of his bed-room window he perceived a man run away, dropping something that sounded like an iron bar. On examining the shutters, it appeared that an in strument had been inserted between them to force them open. They slide from the inside, and would have to be forced back to obtain an entrance. The plate-glass was the next ob stacle; then came sundry iron doors, by which the safe is se cured; so that it the thief had got in at the window, he would still have had some work to do before he got at the cash. There is at present no clue to the parties. RAILWAY RETURNS.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S - Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., M.P., has signified his inten tion of presiding at the forthcoming anniversary dinner. The cause of humanity could not be better advocated, for at the present moment all the wards are crowded, with the excep tion of the Grosvenor ward, capable of accommodating up. wards of 100 patients, but with the present pressure upon the funds of the hospital, the committee of management do not feel justified in throwing it open. THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.— 011 Saturday , last above forty houses were disposed of by auction, in com pliance with instructions from the Directors of the South- Western Railway Company, for the extension of the railway from the terminus at the Nine Elms to the intended Water loo-bridge station, to be erected in the York and Waterloo bridge-roads. The houses were situated between the Westminster-bridge-road, and the York-road, and adjoin the site of the intended terminus. There are but very few houses remaining to be sold for this most desirable extension, there having been about 400 sold, the materials of which realised between 6,000 and 7,0001.
