LONDON. MONDAY, APRIL 19, 1847. Exactly one week ago we commented upon the distinguished gallantry and the humane promptitude evinced by Captain BERNARDINO CAMP, in rescuing the survivors of a British steam-ship from their perilous situation on the Alacranes. In expressing our admiration for the behaviour of that young officer, we likewise expressed ours olicitude that his brave and magnanimous conduct suld receive some acknowledgment, however inadequate, from the Government of these islands. We conceived that some testimony for services of such spontaneous and gra tuitous generosity was required, both as a proof that the character of ESILICARDII O Casap was appreciated in this country, and that its .. inhabitants sympathised to the uttermost with those emotions of gratitude which filled the bosoms of the individua ls saved from destruc tion. We anticipated that some mark of approbation wou ld proceed from the Executive worthy once of O ur G re at Britain and of Captain CAMP. expecta tions have, in a great measure, bee n fulfilled, rejoice —cordially and heartily rejoice —that and we at they have teen fulfilled with such alacrit y . --ERNAR DI T 1 O CAMP requires no panegyric, no commemorative marble, no remunerative gold. Whatever substan tial recompense he could receive, at all adequate to hit magnanimity, he has long since acquired ten fold; he has received the internal consolation of having proved himself a true-hearted man, and has acquired for his name a very enviable celebrity in both hemispheres. That is the consolation which he has already obtained in abundance. Bat some thing. more than this was required for the credit of our common humanity ; some expression of admiration, if not of gratitude, was demanded from the English Governmhnt. It has been readily and no bly pronounced by the li p s of the Prime Mmilter in tfits,C9mmorks of Parham nt. " Her MAJESTY'S Government,' said Lotd JOAN Russ - ELL, " has received with the gr?atest satisfaction the ac count of the heroic cooduot of Ceptall BERNAZDINO CAMP, and Lord Arc ILLAND has been charged by her MAJESTY to express to that Spanish captain the great satisfaction with which her MAJESTY has heard of his conduct, and to pro pose to him to accept a medal, upon which shall be recorded the service he has rendered to the survivors of the unfortunate ship Tweed, and stating the date of the transaction." The announcement thus made by the Premier was welcomed with the applause it merited, and the cheering became " loud and con tinued" when Lord Joux added to the foregoing— " It is also proposed that a grant of 5001. shall be made to Captain CAMP, in any shape which may be most acceptable to himself, to show the feeling en tertained by her M.AJESTY'S Government of the con duct of that most excellent and gallant officer." This is well. It is precisely what was demanded , by the occasion, and is as gracefully done as it is ad mirably deserved. thher authorities are endesyouring, by the presents- tion of purses and medallic offerings, to convey to the Commander of the brig Emilio, to his worthy mate Don VILLAVERDE, to his subordinate helpmates, and his crew, some notion of the admiration which they have severally and collectively excited. From pri vate individuals, from public companies, from the Parliamentary representatives, from the Ministers of the Crown, from our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN her self these sentiments of admiration have proceeded, and through the medium of the press they have ob tained utterance and diffusion. It is well that some degree of enthusiasm should be exhibited in circum stances of this description ; it is well, because an enthusiasm so commendable and beneficial must act as an incitement in all future cases of peril, while it must, assuredly, convey to the susceptible disposition of such an one as BERNARDINO CAMP a peculiar and supreme satisfaction. And who would be solicitous to diminish by one iota the satisfaction of so brave and gallant a sailor ? Who would not be desirous to add, though it were but in a degree correspondent to the thickness of a hair, to the pleasurable emotions derivable therefrom ? It is left to the selection of Captain CAMP, as the First Lord of the Treasury observed, in what manner the Government grant of 5001. shall be applied to his advantage. We would suggest that, preferable to any pecuniary bounty whatever, would be his advancement (if possible) to rank in the Spanish naval service. Similar promo tions have frequently rewarded meritorious officers in the English merchant service, and the Admiralty have thereby ensured more than once an appreciable accession to the talent and valour of the royal navy. We are satisfied that a single communication to the marine administrator of Queen ISABELLA 11. would lvad directly to the proposed advancement. Under all arrangements, however, Captain BERNARDINO CAM? has been rewarded by the acknowledgments of her Britannic MAJESTY ; and, beyond that, he has ensured respect and affection for his name wherever it shall henceforth be pronounced. The House of Commons was again last night chiefly engaged on the affairs of Ireland, as it has been, with very few exceptions, since the opening of Parliament. Two measures of no ordinary import ance to the welfare and prosperity of the sister king dom received their third readings and the final sanction of the representatives of the people. With the exception of some few amendments and alterations, proposed by the Home Secretary in pursuance of pledges given by him during the progress of the measure, and which were carried sub silentio, there was no change in the " Irish Poor-law Bill" since the report of the Committee was brought up, neither was there any division, or attempt to throw it out or to weaken its efficacy. The Member for Dublin was indeed anxious to have introduced two clauses, in order to provide a remedy for a grievance to which his constituents might be sub jected, but at once yielded to an intimation from the Speaker of the irregularity of imposing a new burden on unions which had not been instituted by any exist ing clause of the Bill at that stage of the proceedings. The subject, too, was one of peculiar difficulty, and one on which the greatest variety of opinion exists, in volving that veratts questio, the law of settlement. The Secretary for the Home Department assured the ion. Gentleman that the subject should engage the serious attention of the Government. Some provi sion, indeed, is required to prevent cruel and heartless men iron' driving to destitution and misery their pauper tenants, or casting upon other and more humane persons the duties and responsibilities from which they would gladly free themselves by any means, per fas cut nefas. The extraordinary expenditure that has now to be borne by the people of Liverpool, in consequence of that which has been justly termed the Irish invasion, and the 'great pro bability that similar burdens will fall upon the rate payers of the principal seaport towns on the eastern side of Ireland, afford the strongest proof of the absolute necessity for attentive consideration and well-matured legislation on the subject. Many Mem bers, however, took occasion to enlighten the House and the country with their opinions, and the usual differences were manifested. The chief points introduced during the discussion that took place were, first, the principle of out-door re lief under any circumstances, which was condemned in he strongest terms by the Member for the county ot Tyrone, who declared " that the measure was conceived more in the reckless spirit of a gambler than with the calmness of a statesman." Yet, notwithstanding !nis sweeping invective, we find that it has obtained the all but unanimous support of persons of every party and political feeling whose pockets are not directly interested. It would, ot course, have been impossible to resist so tempting a subject. The golden apple flung amongst the rival -leities on Mount Ida was not more certain of exciting dissension, than the topic of out-door relief introduced into an assembly which numbered amongst its Members a sprinkling of Irish landlords. The opportunity was not thrown away, and at least a dozen speeches were made on the subject during the Pveri in g. The Home Secretary most ably defended the clause that empowered the granting of such relief, :nd proved the good effects of its adoption to the louse, by the exertions that hare been already made in order to afford - increased employment to the ziople, and passed a well-merited eulogium on the address reeently issued by the Landlord and Tenant Association of the county of Wexford, to which we have already directed the public attention. The Premier also vindicated the Bill from the attacks made on it by the Archbishop of DUBLIN, and proved that his Grace had wholly misconceived the nature and purport of the law, and "had frighted the isle from its propriety" without any sufficient ustification. His Lordship also showed that the clause proposed by the Noble Member for Lynn, although it might answer in this country, would be wholly unsuited for Ireland, and that practically the tenant would have to pay the full rent, with the burden of the poor-rate in addition. Some useful remarks were made by Captain FITZMAURICE on Irish affairs in general, although scarcely relating to the subject of the discussion. The Landed Property (Ireland) Bill was the other measure which occupied the House. Two amend ments were proposed, for the purpose of bringing the erection of corn-mills with the necessary build ings and water-courses, and also substantial farm houses and buildings, within the scope of the Bill ; but each proposition was negatived by a considerable majority. The first would certainly appear rather an undue interference with commercial speculation, although the estates of individual proprietors might possibly be benefited. Neither provision would come within or attain the great object of the measure, viz. thv permanent improvement of the land throughou the country." The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Turin, dated the 3d:—" Count NI ORTLEII, the French Ambassador, has addresse4 to our Government an energetic remonstrarn_e against the sending of arms to Catalonia for the Carlists." We learn from Rome, 3d instant, that great dis tress continued to prevail amongst the poor of that city, in consequence of the high price of bread. Th e P - dru, however, had just ordered the sale of wheat at a much lower rate than the market price, paying the difference from t.is own purse. The Infante 1141 HENRY had arrived in that city, and assumed the Vi.count D'ALCOLBA. He was still ae incogn;to 4)f by lle. DR CASTELLAB and her brothks. cntnpanit-d Intelligence bus been received from Lisbon of the • .~ 10th, and from Oporto of the 11th inst., by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Mon trose, which arrived at Southampton on Friday evening. The expeditionary force which sailed for Oporto under the command of Si DA BANDEIRA, landed at Faro on the 31st ult. It consists of 1,500 men, and S♦ DA BANDEIRA, who commands it, has been ap pointed by the Junta Commander-in-Chief of all the forces south of the Tagus. The forces under his command in Alemtejo will not fall far short of 5,000 men. He was to march from Faro on Evora on the 4th inst. A detachment of the QUEEN'. troops sta tioned at St.Ubes have fallen back upon Azeitao in consequence of advances of insurgent forces under Minx°. Two of the Ministers, the Count Tow. and Don MANoRL DR PORTUGAL, waited on the British Ambassador on the 9th, and stated that they every moment expected a popular outbreak in Lisbon, and that if the British marines were not landed to quell it, the Government must fall. It is said that the reply of the British Ambassador was, that the pro tection of the British forces would be readily given to the Reyal Family, should any attack be made on them, but that they would take no part in opposing any movement having for its object a mere change in the administration, without menacing the existing dynasty. The Black Cat, laden with arms and ammunition for the forces of the Junta, had arrived at Oporto. She brought six pieces of heavy ordnance and 1,500 stand of arms. _ The price of bread in Lisbon was from 55 reis to 60 reis per lb., and the discount on the Bank of Lis bon notes, 52 per cent. _ Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived. A Board of Agriculture and Commerce, under the Presidency of the Minister of Commerce, has been appointed. General SERRANO left Madrid on the 10th for Arjanills, near Malaga. One of the papers states that ESrARTZEO has been nominated a senator, and that it has been determined to recognise all the ranks and decorations which he had accorded to him during his Regency. MADRID BOLSA, Arm 10.—The Three per Cents. closed at 321 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 201; the Debt without interest at 6 ; and the Coupons at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The National attacks the Government with extreme bitterness for having permitted the execution of the three men who were sentenced to death for the corn riots at Buzengais. The sentence was carried into effect on the 12th instant at Buzencais, which was occupied during the day by a large military force. The elections of Quimperle and Quimper are over. M. DE CARNE was returned for Quimperle, and M. JUBELIN for Quimper. Both Deputies are Minis terialists. It is reported that General DE LA CONCHA has succeeded in bringing about an arrangement between France, Spain and England for a joint intervention in Portugal. " On Tuesdsy," says the Union Monarchique, "M. Guizot returned to Lord Normanby the dinner which his Lordship had offered to him a month ago, after the adjustment of the difference which had long existed be tween those two personages. Amongst the persons in. vited were Lord and Lady Granville, Count and Countess de Tancarville, M. de Kisseleff, Charge d'Affaires of Russia, the Grand Chancellor Pasquier, M. Ssuzet, Pre ,ldent of the Chamber of Deputies ; and M. Bresson. Ambassador of France at Madrid. Everybody was struck with the amiability and polite attention evinced by the latter towards Lord Normanby and the other English gu.ests of M. Guizot. M. Bresson's demeanour on that occasion was held to confirm his reported desire to replace Count de St. Aulaire in London.' It would seem, however, that the desire of M. 13asssom will not be gratified, as it has been decided that the Duc DE BROGLIE is to succeed the Comte DE ST. AULAIRE as Ambassador at the Court of London. " The price of wheat," says the Reform, " increased by 3f. er 4f. per sack in the Paris market on Wednesday. That article: now sells from 63f. to 70f. per sack, or from 42f. to 46f. 66c. per hectolitre. In several districts ad joining the capital it reached 48f. 50c. The price of rye. barley, and oats, had likewise augmented. The Atmospheric Railway to St. Germains was opened on Wednesday.

THE MEANS OF NATIONAL EDU - - CATION. TO LORI) JOHN RUSSELL. My Lord Russell,—Of the results, moral, scientifical, And useful, which must necessarily emanate from insti cutions of au educational character, we need only appeal to the experience of the past to discover some of the good fruits which have arisen ; of the greater amount , f good which they have produced we can term no esti late. To accelerate the progress of society in its best phases is indeed a work worthy of the highest ambition ,f the wise and the good ; posterity will do justice to chose exertions in a manlier suited to the appreciation which they will then have of their value. I cannot, however, consent that the advantage.; sts tuatlifestl de .irable should be obtainable upon terms of injustice to ,he country at large, when it is clearly discoverable that by a proper insight into the resources provided by th,- nequesta of charitable individuals, an immense sum remains unappropriated to the purposes for which, by he benevolent donors, it was originally intended. I : dace myself thus prominently before your Lordship from the knowledge I have of the facts, however re •nat kable may be the sources of information to which I have access, that If the infortaation contained thr , rep-rt of the Sel.-ct Committee upon the subject, made thirty years since, were allowed to 4ecome public there is a sum of one million of pounds ,terling per annum, to which we have a national claim for the purposes of national education, and which onli wants to to well looked atter to be got hold or, and which the serious consequences of an untimely inter lfeence with certain vested interests is perhaps the prin cipal rt ason for concealment. Perhaps the First Minister of the Crown will conde scend to inform the country why the evidence which would comprise the contents of titty volumes was not »Ahmed to be printed. You are not a young statesman, nay Lord ; but my Lord B--m, who is an old stager, and is indebted to his present elevation partly in consequence of his sub serviency to the selfish principles of the Whigs, can in the world (if be chooses) of all the particulars of this infamous transaction, which stamps the authors of it with a character of the most scandalous political dis honesty, and is a virtual rubbery of one million per annum for thirty years ot the people of the.e realms. Now that the pretended necessity has been put forward by the Whigs for the appropriation of the money out of the public purse, it is, I conceive, the opportunity which gives us a right to demand the restitution of these stolen pr..perties. If the industry of man, in its past state of physical and scientific development, hath given to the world so large an earnest of its capabilities to promote the highest hap piness of the species, by the surprising surplus of means which it has placed at the disposal ot the rich for the general interests of humanity, bow consistent with the strictest justice is the circumstance, that the reflux of this high tide of wealth and pros perity should return to fertilise and re'oke by a thousand tributary streams, the fountain . ; of universal knowledge, peace, love, and happiness. Without perhaps intending so palpable a demonstration of the political power of the middle classes, the League thus became the pioneers of the expression of popular opinion, and the unconscious promoters of the democratic principle. That the progress of poli tical freedom should have been so remarkably accelerated by the opulent portion of the community, is only one of those strange anomalies that have so of ten been found preg nant with the most important consequences, thus carry ing on the process of restitution on a liberal and ex tended scale. The British nation is the only one, in the great political drama, that can co,. fi• lend) appeal to history in support of those claims to the best uses of treed in, which by other European powers have be.n so desecrated. She hath in herself eminently atal essentially the ele ments of true nobility and moral greatness But as the highest finalities are of the slowest growth, so has there never vet been given to the p ople of this treat country, a Government in every respect hot - I,st enough to forward her highest interests, and fully to develepe its magnificent resources. She has been, is, and will continue to be, the harbinger of p.. , ace to the world, in the equal distribution of the balance of power —why should she not be happy in herst If ? And what may not he anticipated of the improved de tittles of man kind, when, at perfect harmony within herself, her ener ges are directed externally to the conservation ot al; that is worth living for in the constitution of society, and internally to the establishment ot those high and holy principles which must one day m Ike tru h their only empire, and universal happiness their sole aim. hly Lord, a truly high and re,ble destiny is mapped Out for you, the history of nations affords but iguoble comparisons with the power which you can sway, for good or evil, in this remarkable era e may f the world's his tory; you live to accomplish all that is desira ble in the difficult task whi c h Providence has designed f or you , and, treadi ng the path o n ly o t d i gn i ty and true h onour , realise our best with the security ot a nation's friendshi p in and happiest aTirations.

Dr. Spry took the chair, and the gem ral parochial business having been disposed of. Mr. GARRETT, at the head of a numerous depu tation, entered the vestry-room with an address from the parochial committee, which, after complimenting the vestry upon their oppositien to the Health of Town , ' Bill. called upon them to persevere in that opposition, as the bill contemplated the subversion of local self govern ment, and the introduction of the baneful principles et centralisation. The addressed recommen 'ed a deputa tion to government, a conference of the Metropolitan parochial Boards, and interviews with the Members Parliament in ceder to st cure the defeat of the most eb j-ctionable and unjustifiable measure that had ever been proposed. Mr. G. DANIEL moved the adoption of the address. and having statistically proved that those portions of the portions of the parish under the government of the vestry were better regulated in a sanatory point of view. and at a cheaper rate, than those under the control of the Woods and Forests, denoueced the exemption of the City from the effects of the Bill as a cowardly act, and denounced the Bill itself as the substitution of nomina tion, patronage, and plural voting, tor the representa tive and elective principles.—(Hear. hear.) Sir PETER LAURIE seconded the motion, and said that the Government would make the Bill a medium for ob taining appointments and pensions for their relatives and friends.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WILSON analysed and severely criticised the Bill. Mr. LAURIE, the City Pleader, recommended the vestry not to let the erroneous opinion of their being opposed to the objects of the measure go abroad, for they only found fault with its machinery. Sir B. HALL, Bart., M.P., promised to give the Bill his most determined opposition, and although not authorised to say so, he might. with confidence, state that the Bill would not be per.evered in during the present session.—(Hear, hear.) And he was fully satis fied that in its present shape it never would pass into law.—(Hear, hear) He assured the vestry that since the introduction of the measure so numerous were the applications to him for his interest to obtain situations under it, that he had to employ a person to open and read his letters.—(A laugh.) Sir CHARLES NAPIER, M.P., also promised to join his honourable colleague in opposing the Bill. He was con vinced that the City of London was exempted from its provisions lest offence might be given to the electors, and Lord John Russell should thereby be turned out of the representation.—(Hear, hear.) Several other gentlemen havi ex ressed their dis ng p approval of the Bill, the motion wa The meeting adjourned at a late our. i s i carried.

A very able and j whet , ;:•atopnle - , bearing the above title, has just proc oin psn o r t he Reverend John Doro , n, Rector in WI-trehtit K -nt. The subject of education itself falls peculiarly within the province of the minister of religion; and at the pr.-sent moment the attenten or ad, who are ready interested in the welfare of our rapidly increasing industrial caieses, seems to be earnestly fixed upon this grt at question. Nor can We wonder that it should be so. In a country, and in an age like ours, of high civilization and pregressive scieuce, where the value of mere brute labour is every year being depreciated, the only lever by which the ins dustrial classes can be raised to a mere favourable posi tion iu society is the lever of education. Without t du cation those classes, constituting as they do a vast P.rT, portion of our whole population, must gradually le" lower and lower, until they become little better than 1 1 many beasts of burden, e hewers of wood and drawers °f watt r," as hepeles.sly doomed, from youth to old age, to one unvarying round of toilsome drudgery, and as cony pletely excluded from all possibility of amelioration 10 their social con tition, as the manacled felon of Norfolk Island. The stupid booby, staring in amazement as the rushing train is hurried past by the irresistible newer °f steam, is only a fair illustration of the way in which the efforts of the ignorant labourer are outstripped by ter chanical force scientifically applied. And, unless 1 3 1 willing hands and sinewy limbs be aided and directeio. !by the improved intelligence of an educated min the labourer ' s exertions to earn his daily bread ea every year fs less availing. We cannot wonder, there' fore, that the philanthropist should have his attendee especially attracted by education. It is folly to t, about feeding and clothing the people, an d Men edue s: : ing them. It is madness to att e mpt to s tem the toffee' of increasing crime by building prisons and multiplY,l penal statutes. Educate the people, a nd they all the better able to clothe and feed themselves; wu" -- statistical returns abundantly prove the close connex ial existing betwixt ignorance ant vice. We hail !fi r ' Dation's pamphlet as a most well-timed production's: calculated to render invaluable service to this unpor t , sn r cause. It is the successtul endeavour of a man of el f aid comprehensive intent ct to grapple with a reef difficult subject. In supporting his own views 1 10 ! %; hibits a rare itegree of talent combined with moderaw% and the measures which he suggests are alike indica tlY of sound judgment and of much practical ex periel e t : We will attempt a brief outline of this cl e ver pan3Pb e s• Mr. Dufton begins with showing that the q uestion e t issue is not betwixt education and non-education , we betwixt a good education and depraved knowledge. „;se have not to inquire, Shall we, or sh a ll we not ed°" - s e the people? but, Shell we educate th e ri s i n g geners , " i - ta to be useful members of society? or allow thee" o f be trained and instructed by the zealous agent s d vice ? " Vice," says Mr. Dufton , " opens schoo ls ...A well as virtue ; crime has reward s for the zealous, 'la punishments for the refractory, quite as efficacio u s th those at the disposal of rectitude. Let this great ti l e r be once thoroughly apprehended ; l e t it once be u ° oc t stood that we have not to choose between education 9,00 non-education, for the simple reason that non-edue st ;o! is au utter impassibility ; let it be n o t on ly knorioc n i r . felt, that our choice is confined to education e r l,ble education—that we have to d ec id e b etw een pe7 w ," good arid positive evil—and nine-tenths of the tub' troversies which have been raised on the „ ce il. e ° jest will be dismissed as sheer insperti° e Our author next describes some of the lamentable el" sequences flowing from that depraved know manly called ignorance, and by indisputable f a cts e s 0 , blihbes the necessity of national education. Th is n lftere ledge, lamentable , be considered the first part of Mr. Dufton's Par e r se nd, In the second part he enters upon delicate g r .'" s - t iag namely, the insufficiency and inadequacy. of all t i d os. educational systems to meet the exigencies of ti_isett is delicate ground. But Mr. -v g e sre • This, undoubtedly, writes in a kindly and conciliatory spirit. He i s , i l f , l cosy nest, and expresses his opinions strongly and w i t h fit dour ; yet the tone and temper of his 'Ages 1 ": 0 00t from being offensive. He may convince he gibes annoy ; and our prejudices are not roused even our prepossessions are opposed . With the utmos% 'llOl partiality he lays bare the imperfections of the Ito! Society on the one hand ; and on the other he s" t he the testimony of Dr. Vaughan to demonstrsTittei inability of Dissent, to supply the universally -I Z, she deficiency. In short, veluntaryism—whether it;riterla voluntaryism of tbe National Society, or of th e % es of and Foreign Schools ; whether it be the voluntaq l . o he the Established Church or of Dissent—he holds of utterly inadequate to provide an enlarged sYl t io ntss national education, co extensive with the nations' en d He therefore invokes the assistance and i eterfe i r etrs t of the State. " For the same reasons," says i h :of rks . State intervention is necessary in the dispe t 'L l6 and 10 done' charity, in establishing national security, enforcing general rights, we hold that State erode, fion is necessary in national education, not to OP .

For these detli we must refer our readers to the pamphlet itself, °,:tor3 e r sr ld observing that the proposed plan is at once sins pi comprehensive, practicable and efficient. Many e re subjects, to which we have not space for alludinkos admirably discussed in these pages; such as then:ol4oes of the cuckoo cry, " Will you separate r eli g ii 3 itintf education?" and the paramount importance or t o she such an education as shall have a direct bearin g 1 1 :44 to future career of the pupils. In conclusion , wf be leel recommend this pamphlet most cordially to nil t heir an interest in this important question, whateve,hom peculiar views may be, and to tender our wannest to Mr. Dufton for his tabours in this great cau se " , di" HISTORY OF EUI?tiPE.
