ENING EDITION. EDUCATION. R E TuaN to an Address of the Hon. the House of Commons, dated July 15, 1840, for Extracts from Minutes of Committee of Council on Educa tion of January 4, 1840, and July 15, 1840. (Extract from Minutes of January 4, 1840.) Read, the following letter from the Secretary to the Education Committee of the General Assembly of the 4urch of Scotland : " Edinburgh, Dec. 19, 1839. " Sir—The Education Committee of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland respectfully re quest of the Education Board of the Privy Council Pm° further information than the published regula tions afford on that part of their plan which relates to the inspection of schools aided by the funds at their disposal. " They beg to learn whether the proposed inspection is meant to be in connection and in co-operation with the Church of Scotland, to which the superintendence of schools is by law committed ; if so, in what manner such connection and co-operation are to be effected ; and they would feel obliged by receiving such informa tion generally, in regard to the nomination and purposes of the inspectors, as may enable them to judge whether there may be no hazard of any interference taking place with the established system of inspection by the Chut ch. .‘ The Committee take leave, with deference, to sug gest whether it might not be advantageous that the pro posed inspection were incorporated with the existing system, by the Board consulting the Church on the ap pointment of the inspectors. " I have, &c., " JOHN GORDON. " Secretary to the General Assemlily's Education Committee. " To the secretary of the Education Board of the Privy Council, &c." Ordered, that the following reply be made " Committee of the Council on Education, Council-Office, Whitehall, Jan. 4. _. _ " Sir, I am directed by the Committee of Council on Education to acknowledge the receipt of yolk letter, dated Dec. 19. " I am also to acknowledge the receipt of the report made by the Education Committee of the General Assembly on the return from Presbyteries regarding the examination of schools in the year 1839,' which my Lords have perused with great interest and satisfaction. " The Committee of Council direct me to inform you, in reply to your inquiries, that the inspectors of schools, aided by public grants, are appointed by her Majesty in Council, on the recommendation of the Com mittee of Council on Education ; and in order to afford you the fullest information respecting the duties of the inspectors, my Lords direct me to transmit the enclosed copy of instructions addressed to the inspectors for Eng iand and WJes. Instructions framed on the same prin ciples, but modified so as to render them applicable to any peculiar circumstances in Scotland, will be issued to the inspectors for that country. With respect to such modifications, my Lords will be glad to receive any ob servations from the Committee of the General Assembly. " In these documents you will perceive that the inspection of schools is intended to be a means of co-operation between the Government and the Mi nisters, local committees and trustees of schools, for the improvement and extension of elementary educa tion ; and my Lords embrace the opportunity of expressing their intention to co-operate with the Church of Scotland for the attainment of these results, as re gards the schools which are placed by law, or by the condition of their endowments or constitution, under the superintendence of the Church of Scotland. In further reply to your inquiry, my Lords direct tree to assure you, that with respect to these schools, !my Lords will at ail times feel it their duty to com rr.onicate and co-operate with the Education Committee G . the General Assembly, and will direct copies of their i„ sp ,--tters' reports to be transmitted to the Committee from titie to time. m y Lcras conceive this co-operation may best be promoted by s;:lecting for the inspection of such schools gentlemen who possess the confidence of the Church of Scotland, while their acquaintance with all the technical details of elementary instruction, and their zeal for the education of the poorer classes, will afford a guarantee that they are fit agents for promoting the improvement and extension oF such elementary education as may se - wore the religious and moral improvement of the chil dren of the poor. The Committee of Council consider that much ad vantage will arise from their Lordships having the op portunity of consulting the Education Committee of the General Assembly with respect to the selection of the Inspectors of such schools ; before, therefore, a recommendation of any gentleman for this office is made to her Majesty in Council, my Lords will com municate the name to the Committee of the General Assembly for their observations. " I have, &c., " J. P. KAY." Sohn Gordon, Esq., Secretary to the Education C o .annittce of the General Assembly of the Church of Kotland." EIZTRAcT .FROM THE MINUTES OF THE COMMITTEE OF COtiNCIL ON EDUCATION, JULY 15, 1340. The Lord President having called the attention of the Committee to their previous minutes relating to the appointment of Inspector of Schools in connexion with the Church of England, their Lordships deliberated thereon, and resolved that a Report be presented to her TAlnjesty in Council embodying the following recom rhendations :- 1. That before any person is recommended to the Queen in Council to be appointed to inspect schools re oe:eving aid from the public, the promoters of which state themselves to be in connection with the National Society or the Church of England, the Archbishops of Canter bury and York be consulted by the Committee of Privy Council, each with regard to his own province ; and that alley be at liberty to suggest any person or persons for the office of inspector, and that no person be appointed without their concurrence. 2. That the inspectors of such schools shall be ap pa:nted during pleasure, and that it shall be in the power of each Archbishop, at all times, with regard to his own province, to withdraw his concurrence in such appoint ment, whereupon the authority of the inspector shall cc Ise, and a fresh appointment take 3. That the instructions to the inspectors with regard to religious instruction shall be framed by the Arch bishops, and form part of the general instructions to the Inspectors of such schools, and that the general in structions shall be communicated to the Archbishops before they are finally sanctioned. That each Inspector, at the same time that lie pre sents any report relating to the said schools to the Com mittee of the Privy Council, shall transmit a duplicate thereof to the Archbishop, and shall also send a copy to the Bishop of the diocese in which the school is sit trAci, for his information. 4. That the grants of money be in proportion to the number of children educated, and the amount of money raised by private contribution, with the power of making exceptions in certain cases, the grounds of which will be stated in the annual returns to Parliament. CORN-LAWS AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.—There can be ao question that the derangement of our currency consequent on the Corn-laws, has greatly ag gravated the difficulties of America, and has for a time so pros trated her trade, that she will be unable to purchase her usual supplies of our manufactures ; but though she has no money to buy goods, she has abundance of corn. Proyidenoe blessed her last year with the most abundant harvest ever known, and the prospects of the coming harvest are said to be greater than the last. She can immediately send us two millions barrels of the nest flour in the world, and in a short time she could send us two million barrels more. The industrious workpeople of Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Nottingham, and Manchester, are starving for want of employment. America wants the pro ducts of their industry, but has nothing to give for them but flour. What shall we say of the law which forbids this natural exchange, which consigns the most honest hard-workin ,-, race of men to wretchedness and misery—and for what ?—Anti- Corn-law Circular. SI ! NGUL sIR CIRCUMSTANCE.—A short time ago, Mrs. Flowe r , w if e o f M r. G eorge Flower, shopkeeper, o f Nunnery-lane, in the suburbs of York, was delivered of twins, bstl} boys, and singular enough, they had a couple of teeth each in the upper jaw. Hull Advertiser. /MVP: AND FOLLY.—on Thursday morning, about half-past six o'clock, a young man, named Zacharia Thompson, living with his parents at No. 91, Great Peter street, Westminster, attempted to cut his throat. It appears that the young man got np, dre sse d an d washed himself, and then inflicted a deep gash in his throat. Alter having done this, he walked up-stairs into the bed-room of his mother, and, addressing her said, "Mother I've com e t o w i s h you good bye before I quit this world. My :reason for doing what I have done is, I could not live without her." The poor woman's shrieks soon alarmed the neighbourhood, and the young man 'was conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, the house -surgeon of which institution gave but little hopes of his recovery. It is supposed that the only motive the young man had to cause him to attempt self-destruction was, that he had recently bleu slighted by a young woman to whom he had been paying his aillresses. DUNDEE TRADE.—We are glad to say that there has boon rather more tieing in our linen market this week than for a considerable time past, although there has been no improvertlent in prices. The supply is shortening in conse quence orthe lowness of price ; and as it is understood that the foreign markets are getting bare of our productions, it is to be hoped we wiil in a short time experience an advance in the rates. In the mean time things are in an unnatural state, as in the Baltic the prices of flax are not likely to give way._ Edinburgh Courant.

(PROP[ THE DAILY TAPERS OF SATURDAY.) (From the Globe.) The appropriate organ of the National Society, and of the " weaker-headed portion of the Clergy," who aided its resistance to the Government plan of educa tion, employs some ingenuity to gloss over its mortifica tion produced on finding their joint meddling repudiated by those under whose sanction they foolishly supposed they were acting, while raising an outcry against,the introduction of Government inspectors to their schools. The prelates of the Church have shown themselves to be governed by another spirit. A wise and prudent concession of mere abstract claims has enabled them to lend the weight of their legitimate influence to the Go vernment, in carrying out what we hesitate not to de signate a plan fraught with inestimable advantages to the entire population of this great empire. There is now no reason for restricting the grant of Parliament for educational purposes to the paltry sum to which, while it was violently opposed, it was deemed prudent to confine it. An amount at least bearing some pro portion to the vastness of the object and the urgency of the case, ought to be appropriated by Parliament, that the fearful presence of an uneducated and vicious po pulation may no longer offend the eye of Heaven, and engender fears for the safety of the country in which the evil at present so extensively abounds. (From the Standard.) On the Order of the Day for going into a Commit tee of Supply, Mr. Fielden moved for a Committee to inquire bow far the inspectors and superintendents of factories had been unduly and unconstitutionally em ployed by the authority of the Home Department for the purpose of watching the meetings of the working people and reporting them to Government. So far, however, from joining with the Honourable Gentle man in the blame he has imputed to Ministers for availing themselves of the services of the parties re ferred to, in procuring information of the state and condition of the operative classes, our complaint against them is, that they have not exercised as much vigilance as they ought to have done in ascertaining the state of public feeling in the manufacturing districts ; for if they had, they would have been better prepared to meet the emergencies that have presented them selves in the shape of Chartist tumults than they have shown themselves to be. Such a course as that with which Mr. Fielden charges the Government is not only perfectly legitimate, but imperatively neces sary, and the attempt to excite odium against the agents in such inquiries is deserving of severe reprobation. Sir Robert Peel, with his accustomed candour, attested, from his own official experience, the necessity of procuring accurate and timely information as to the designs of the disaffected, or the feelings ge nerally of the great body of the people. It would be well, indeed, if Ministers were to depute some of their employes in Ireland to report to them from time to time the movements and dispositions of Mr. O'Connell and the repeal army now in course of organisation under his perintendence. (From the Courier.) Lord Aberdeen, according to previous notice, brought forward in the Lords last evening his motion for a speedy adjustment of the claims arising out of the Spanish Indemnity Bonds, founded on a petition from the holders, setting forth the peculiar hardships of their case. There is no part of the immense debt of Spain, a debt in grams which may fairly be assumed to be beyond the means of that unfortunate and insolvent State to deal with for years to come, for the liquida tion or punctual discharge of interest on which the good faith of Spain is so Oeeply compromised, and the honour of this Government so greatly involved. For these Indemnity Bonds arise out of no loan or stockjobbing transactions, where the prospect of usu rious advantage" may be conceived in some sort to be proportioned to the risk incurred ; where the money-lender exacts rates of seven or eight per cent. of dividends as the condition of his advances ; but are in fact the result of a composition betweals merchants suffering from less or unjust seizures of property in Spain, and the Spanish Government, by which less than ten shillings in the pound was accepted in full compensation of all claims, on the understanding of prompt payment for part, and bonds for the remainder with good security ; for as the compact was embodied in a treaty negotiated direct between Spain and Great Britain, and ratified in the usual form, the bonds may virtually, though not literally, be regarded as bearing the indorsement of our own Government. The holders, in fact, may be said to have an equitable right of re course against the Treasury itself. POPERY IN THE CHURCH. Before we continue the evidence we have collected of the practical consequences of this heresy upon the social and political condition of the community, we must present to our readers some further proofs that have come to hand of its virtual identity with Popery ; for this has been denied, even in the face of the multi tudinous facts we have already narrated, and the writ irgs of the Church Papists themselves. We had omitted to mention the assimilation of all their forms of worship to that of the Popish ritual. Few Who had not witnessed them, would believe the extent to which this has been carried. We will endeavour to describe them as briefly as possible. They contend, not as a matter of custom, but as a matter of necessary observance, that the old supersti tious practice of building churches due east and west should be adhered to. They place a crucifix upon the altar. to which they bow ; they read the service from the steps of the alter with their backs to the people ; they wear almost all the robes of the Roman Catholic Priests. If you go into one of the Churches in London which they have usurped, you will witness almost the entire ceremony of mass, as performed in the Roman Catholic ch apels ; candles burn before the altar ; the same form of lifting and blessing the host is observed ; they make the sign of the cross with their arms as they bow. If any man doubt, let him make a point of going to one of their churches the next time he visits London, and he will witness all this done by clergymen of the Estab lishment, under the sanction of the State, and by help of the public money. And yet there are persons who deny that this heresy is at all like Popery. Why, it is Popery itself. Wo have seen how this direful heresy proposes to establish itself upon the ruins of the Protestant Church, and to prostrate the civil and religious liberties of the country, by passing under the yoke of priestcraft the minds of the people, through the medium of diocesan schools and other contrivances for grasping the educa tion of youth, and so instilling their poison where it can blight the whole being. From their organ, the Quar terly Review, we have convicted the Church Papists of these designs, of these hopes, of these actual endea vours. Let us now see how it is already influencing their actions and imbuing their thoughts. Any man at all equyersant with what is passing in the world must have noticed that within the last five or six years there has grown up and spread in this country a spirit of intolerance—nay, a spirit of perse cution such as has not been witnessed for a long period, and which it was hoped had been wholly de stroyed by the more enlightened character and more humane features of the times. Precisely as our laws have become more liberal, and practically abolished all distinctions between men on account of difference of religious creed, that portion of the Church which has lapsed into Popery his become more persecuting and intolerant ; and if the cr i m i na l apa th y o f t h e people should give the power of the State into its hands, it is certain that both civil and religious liberty would be subject to a fiercer persecution than has been seen in this country since the days of the bloody Mary. For if a sect or a party could preach or teach such atro cious doctrines, and counsel such persecutions when out of power, what would they not do were power given them to work their wicked wills ? History will answer for us. The Quarterly Review recommends persecution by individuals, since the sect, as a sect, is yet weak. If they cannot yet destroy dissent by penal lawi, and ex terminate the Methodists by statute, they can do a good deal in their private capacities towards attain ing this consummation, su devoutly to be wished. They can refuse to employ and to deal with a Dissen ter ; " starve them into submission," argues the Quar terly Review, the acknowledged organ of Toryism and Church Popery. it is ia pursuance of this atrocious policy, so deli berately recommended by the Quarterly Review, that they have begun by throwing into dungeons several persons for non-paynient of some trifling Church-rates. Th e case of poor John Thorogood will at once occur to every reader. Here is a man subjected to imprison ment for life—that is, a punishment greater than would he inflicted upon any but the worst class of felons, me rely because be will not submit to pay five shillings and sixpence t owar d s a Church from which he consci entiously dissents—towards the propagation of the heresy . we have been describing ; that Church being together I Truly this is persecution ; thi B is days.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT.-JULY 18. DI7RHASI AND SUNDERLAND RAILWAY COMPANY V. WARNE. Mr. Bethell and Mr. Hane appeared for the de fendant, and Mr. Pemberton for the Company. This was an application to set aside the injunction obtained ex parte against the defendant, restraining him from pulling down the railroad and works extending over grounds of which he is a tenant, in common with several others. The following are the facts of the case :—The defendant is one of several persons, tenants in common, of certain lands on the banks of the Sunder land canal, through which the works of the railway must pass ; the plaintiffs entered into arrangements for the purchase of the interest of the other proprietors, but the defendant refused all terms, and when the deed was presented to him for his signature, refused his as sent to it. The Company entered on the lands, pulled down the houses thereon, and commenced erecting the works for the completion of the railroad, which the de fendant threatened to pull down, and had thrown inter ruptions in the way of the Company when the present bill was filed, and an ex parte injunction obtained there on. Notice having been given of this application to discharge the injunction, the Counsel for the defendant contended that the Company had no right to come for cibly on his lands, and pull down the houses, without making making him satisfaction, and that the Court could not equitably sanction that body in taking the law into their own hands, when they had the power of pro ceeding by legal means to ascertain the value of the lands previously. For the Company it was urged that one of many in dividuals having identical rights, should not be permitted to exercise his litigious spirit to interrupt a great na tional work, where those similarly situated had assented to the use of the lands for that purpose ; and that since the defendant could not prevent the Company from tak ing the lands, the assessment of the value was as easy, after the works were going on upon them as before. Lord LANGDALE would give judgment before the holidays, which will commence on the eighth or tenth of next month. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, JULY 18. (Before the RECORDER and a Special Jury.) BARBER AND ANOTHER V. THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. This was a claim made against the Corporation of the City of London by Mr. William Barber and Mr. Thomas Howse, merchants and warehousemen, of No. 20, King-street, City, for compensation for their inte rest in these premises, which are required to form the new street from the Bank to West Smithfield, passing the north-east side of the General Post Office. The Solicitor-General, Sir Frederick Pollock, Mr. Ryland, and Mr. Randall, appeared for the claimants, and Sir William Follett, the Common Sergeant, Mr. Gurney s and Mr. Bullock, for the Corporation. The jury, ha v ing be en sworn, proc ee ded to view the premises, and on their return a consultation took place between the Learned Counsel engaged on either side. After the lapse of about an hour, Sir W. FOLLETT, addressing the Learned Recorder, said—My Lord, we have settled this case, and my Learned Friends opposite have agreed to the following verdict : First—For the value of the leasehold interest of the claimants in th e prem i ses £2,300 For the fixtu res 980 For other loss a n d damage Making together A verdict for 3,800/. was then recorded. ~.. £3,800 Oa Friday the sum of 10,750/. was given to Mr. John Martin for his freehold interest in the same pre mises ; making in the whole 14,5501., exclusive of legal expenses. HEATHI , IEL D AND ANOTHER V. THE SAME. In this case Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, Q. C., Mr. Ryland, Mr. Randall, and Mr. James, appeared for the claim ants; and Sir William Follett, the Common Sergeant, Mr. Gurney,and Mr. Bullock, for the Corporation. Mr. KELLY said he appeared for Mr. Richard Heath field and Mr. Samuel Cartledge, who were carrying on an extensive business as commission agents and lace merchants, at No. 31, Cateaton-street. They had re sided in the same house for many years. He (Mr. Kelly) should prove that the lace market, as it was called, was confined to a very small locality. The claimant's business consisted of effecting sales of lace on commission ; they also traded in lace, &c., on their own account. The premises which they now occupied were situated in the mart, to which the dealers in lace resorted. Th,!: claimants could not obtain other pre mises equally eligible for their business. Messrs. Heath field and Cartledge had exerted themselves in vain to find other premises where the lace trade could be carried on, and where obliged to take premises in Addle-street, which were entirely out of tha beat of the dealers. lie should prove that the claimants must lose a consider able portion of their trade by their compulsory removal. The Learned Counsel then called a number of wit nesses to prove his case, and Sir W. Follett addressed the Jury for the Corporation. The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury, having briefly consulted together, returned the following ver dict :—For leasehold interest, 4801. ; loss by removal, &c. (including fixtures), 370/. ; total, 8501. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. THE PLATE ROBBERY AT LORD KINNOUL'S---. John Phethion, and Susan, his wife, were charged with having stolen a quantity of plate, the property of Lord Kinnoul, in Green-street. Thomas Nathan, the butler, said the prisoner, who had been in his Lordship's ser vice for ten years, and filled the situation of under butler was told to get the plate ready, that he (witness) might see that all was right. The prisoner and witness went into the room where the plate was kept, and witness found the plate had been put into green bags. The prisoner said he had examined it, and finding it all right, had placed it as was customary, in the baize bags. The prisoner then gave an account of the articles in the bags, and witness believing his statement, entered in his book the account, and fastened up two of the plate chests. On proceeding to examine a third chest, a silver lemon dish, four silver salts, and a silver snuffer tray, were deficient. When all the plate was looked over, besides the articles enumerated, about a dozen silver spoons, and half a dozen silver forks, were also missed. The prisoner admitted having pawned the property, and promised, if allowed an hour, to redeem it. The prisoner went out of the house, accompanied by a servant, but he returned without hav ing been able to raise money to get back the property. Witness received some duplicates of the property from the prisoner, and he released some of the articles him self. The prisoner took an opportunity, while the ser vants were busy, of leaving the house, and he did not again make his appearance until brought back by a per son who met him in the street. It having been ascer tained that the prisoner's wife had pawned some of the plate, she was given into custody. The butler told Mr. Henry that he had thought it prudent to examine the contents of the two chests, said to be right, and he found some of the plate deficient. Several pawnbrokers produced the missing property, which was identified by the butler. The male prisoner declined to say anything at pre sent, and was fully committed for trial. A second case was preferred against the prisoner. It appeared that when accidently met with by Mr. Graham, a publican, and obliged to go back to Lord Kinnoul's residence, he called on the way upon a friend, and left a small parcel with him. Inspector Beresford ob tained this parcel, and found a duplicate for a silver saucepan belonging to his Lordship, which had been pledged some time back. This case was also taken against the prisoner. The wife was ordered to be discharged. FLANDERS AN]) DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS, JULY 16.—The King returned from Ar denne to Brussels yesterday evening, at half-past seven o'clock. BERLIN, JULY B.—According to your last accounts from the Russian frontier, the remains of the expedition under General Perowsky, destined against Khiva, are still on the banks of the Emba ; it has, however, been positively known here for about a month past, that these remains have arrived at Orenburg in the most deplo rable condition. A communication fully confirming this fact was read in the last sitting but one of the Geo graphical Society of Berlin. VIENNA, JULY B.—Prince Metternich's departure for his estates in Bohemia is fixed for Monday, the 13th inst. Prince Paul Esterhazy will soon leave Vienna, but go for a time to Marienbad in Bohemia before he returns to his post. On his arrival at London we un derstand that Baron Neumann will return to Vienna. Count Von Munch Bellinghausen certainly leaves Vienna on the 10th to resume his functions as Presi dent of the German Diet at Frankfort. TURKISH FRONTIER, JULY 3.—Great complaints come from Albania and Macedonia of the dearness of provisions, caused by the failure of the harvest for two successive years. A letter from Bitoglia (Monastir), says, " the scarcity of corn i s mos t severe l y f e l t , 80 occas, which used to cost from 40 to 50 piasters, have rapidly risen (since this year's harvest has likewise failed), to the enormous price of 160 to 180 piasters, and other provisions have risen in proportion, so that the poor a:e in danger of dying from famine, but for the charity of their neighbours. This new misfortune threatens wholly to dissolve the frail bonds of order and tranqui lity in this province. Robbery increases to such a de gree, that people can hardly venture a short distance from the towns and villages even in the day-time. The Government is unable to give relief, and the complaints of the poor are generally unavailing. A Greek lately sold his daughter, the darling of her mother and sisters, to a Turk, in order to procure for a time the means of subsistence for himself and his farad) ; and similar acts of despair are daily heard of." Letters from Constantinople say that Lord Pon sonby has invited the English Admiral to proceed to the coast of Syria, to protect life and property ; and that he has applied to the Austria Internuncio that the Aus trian squadron may join the English fleet for the same purpose. FRANKFORT, JULY 12.—1 t is said that the Emperor of Russia has received letters from the Empress dated from St. Petersburg, which mention more particulars of his M3jcsty's intended journey. Immediately on the arrival of his son the Grand Duke Alexander, probably, therefore, before the beginning of the month of August, he wilt set out on his tour to inspect the troops in the Southern Provinces of the Empire. At the beginning of September his Imperial Majesty will pay a visit to the Emperor of Austria at Vienna ; thence he will go, in the second week of September, to Nuremburg, where the King of Bavaria will, at that time, hold his Court ; hue ha will be present at the grand review of the Bavarian troops, which are to be encamped near Nuremburg ; lastly, his Majesty will go to Darmstadt to meet the Empress, and with her and the young bride of his son, return by way of Berlin to Petersburg. It. seems uncertain whether the Grand Duke will accom pany his father on the whale journey, or take a shorter road to join the Empress. The Empress is expected on the 25th of August at Aschaffenberg, on a visit to the Royal Family of Bavaria ; from that place her Majesty will go to Darm stadt to wait for the arrival of the Emperor. News has been received here by way of Vienna, that the Egyptia❑ party at Constantinople, are intriguing to bring about a marriage between the Sultan's second sister and Abbas Pasha, grandson of Mehemet Ali, which alliance would set the seal to the reconciliation between the Porte and the Viceroy of Egypt. Chos rew Pasha is to give up eleven millions of piastres (only a small portion of the treasures which he has amassed). after which the Porte %ill send him into banishment to Mocha. _ _ ST. PETERSBURG, JULY o.—The St. Petersburg Gazette has an article on the corn trade in Moscow, which affirms that tke stock in hand is pretty sufficient for the consumption of the country, and that the prices are snore likely to fall than to rise.

CHARLES ROACH SMITH V. THE SAME. The claimant is a chemist, residing at No. 46, Loth• bury, and it was stated he had established a retail trade that produced him a net yearly profit of between .5001. and 6001. He now sought to recover compensation for an improved rental, he holding the premises under an agreement from Dr. Culverweil at 801. per year, and also the value of his trade and the expense of re moving his furniture, stock, B, :e . Mr. KELLY was proceeding with his address to the Jury, when an intimation was made to the Court that the solicitors for the parties had come to an arrangement. Sir WILLIASI FOLLETT then said the verdict would be as follows :—For leasehold interest, Is. ; for other damage (including fixtures), 583/, 9s. ; total, 5831. 10s. 10, and did not rise till nearly 7 Tee Court o pened at POLICE INTELLIGENCE. was Alr. "Il br o o o u k g MANSION-IIOU USE. On of , ht wh b o efo st r a e te t d he th L at ord he m was o r a , charged with having refused t o p ay t h e amoun t: o f an manl e Saturday, tters, extensive treat of coffee at four o'clock in the morning to some ladies. It appeared from the statement of the keeper of a rolling coffee-shop, which occasionally makes a stand in the neighbourhood of Billingsgate, that the gentleman called unaccompanied at the shop, and, having ordered a cup of coffee, sat down upon a piece of timber, and began to study the characters of all the customers. There were some ladies among them, but as they had no money they were lookers on, until Mr. Hook ordered half pints round. The time of reckoning, however, made its unwelcome appearance, and Mr. Hook was called upon to discharge a bill for sixteen half-pints, and a corresponding supply of half rounds off a half quartern. The gentleman, however, answered the demand by giving a fresh order for coffee ; but the ladies thought it would be an act of charity to give the publican, whom they had been eyeing with compassion for some time, a turn, and proposed a little drop by way of a compro mise ; and Mr. Hook, who was never known to refuse; a lady anything but money, consented. Here was a di lemma. "Be so good as to pay me first," said the complainant. " No," replied Mr. Hook ;" do you come along with us, and help to make amends to this respectable tradesman, who so heavily taxed, for the injury you have done him by your innovation." " Pay me three-and-tenpence," cried the poor woman. " Ne ver, so help me, Heaven !" answered Mr. Hook, and soon found Winielf in,the station-house. The Loan AIAYOR—WeII, Mr. Hook, what have you to say ? I am surprised that a person like you should refuse to pay this poor woman for your enter tainment. Mr. Hook ---Th e fact is, that I treated but one lady, who tipped the good woman the wink to supply all the rest, and bleed me for the whole. Now, although I don't care about the amount, I don't fancy to be made a coffee-shop spoony of, and I resisted. The complainant declared that the gentleman had regularly invited all the ladies to the banquet on the spot, and he could not forget the very odd circum stances under which he ga ve the invitation . The Loan May ort —What are the circumstances ? The complainant said that the defendant addressed himself to on e part i cular lady, and told her t hat he had walked dow n t o Billin sate for the purp ose of drown ing himself, in consequence of a disappo intment i n a love affair. He Lid, he said, appo inted that da y for his marria ge w i th a young la d y , but, upon calling at her lodgings on the preceding night , he learned that she g had walked off with a big red-headed Irishman, and left nothing but her compliments for him. He therefore sat down behind a pipe of tobacco and a glass of gin and water, and made himself up for London-bridge. If, however, the lady he was talking to would marr y him, and p rom i se to make him a good wife, he would give up the intention of a watery grave, and go home with her. Th e l a d y seeme d to like the proposal very well, and sa id that although she had been on the town three Years, he r mora l s were not a bit the worse , and she would ma k e a fi rst-rate w if e . She then introduced the gentleman to the other ladies. The LORD MAYOR (to the defendant)—Well, Sir, have you determined to take the lady home ? De fendant—No, my Lord. The fact is I was drunk, and deserve all I get. I might, if I was not brought before your Lordship, have made a fool of myself by marrying a —, but I have recovered my senses, and I thank this respectable teetotaller for sending me to the station house. Had I not gene there, I might now be settled for life. The LORD MAYOR—Then you can have no objec tion to give to her the five shillings I might be disposed to fine you ?—The complainant, with great willingness paid the woman her bill for coffee and appendages, and gave her five shillings, but with a special direction not to spend a f arching of it in the gin shop. WORSHIP- STREET. William Hill Fletcher, a boy aged only fourteen, was charged with committing two burglaries in the house of Mr. Kirby, builder, at Shackle. The prosecutor did not attend. A policeman stated that, although so young, the prisoner was a most notorious housebreaker, and had undergone several convictions, for one of which he underwent a term of transportation on a sentence of seven years, two years and a half of which had been remitted by the Government. A fortnight since, the house of Mr. Kirby was broken into and robbed of plate and money ; judging from the ease with which the former robbery had been perpetrated, that the thief would call again, the policeman nar rowly watched the place, and at three o'clock in the morning he found the area gate and kitchen window open, and on entering that chamber the witness found the prisoner concealed in the corner, and on searching him part of the property stolen on a former occasion. The Magistrate said that he would not allow public justice to be defeated by the prosecutor's ab sence ; he would, therefore, grant a warrant for Mr. Kirby's appearance, and remand the prisoner. HATTON-GARDEN. Apoliceman appeared to prefer an information against the landlord of the Goat public-house, Task street, St. Andrew's Holborn, for suffering riotous con duct in his house. The man stated that he was desired to watch the house, from an anonymous letter having been sent to his Inspector. The riot consisting in a party of tradesmen who had a supper in the place, drink ing the Queen's health with three times three cheers, the Magistrate dismissed the information. COURT CHRISTIAN, NORWICH. On Monday last, at the sitting of this Court, Mr. Charles Childs put in his counter-allegation, a docu ment setting forth the grounds of his defence to the claim of the Churchwardens. In it he alleges that the notice of vestry was not suf. f.eient—that property is omitted from the assessment— that the property assessed is not sufficiently described —that the rate is unequal—that it is also retrospective —that it has been interpolated in many places since it was made—and that a previous rate, made for the same purposes in the same year, was in course of collection when the rate in question was made. In supply of proof, Mr. Childs put in a poor-rate for the same parish, made at ❑early the same time as the church-rate ; and in doing so, he observed that in a casts lately hoforo tho C.o.+, the Learned Judge had re marked that the defendant did not come with clean hands to complain of an assessment which he himself had been mainly instrumental in making. In the equity of that remark he, Mr. C. fully con curred, and as he himself had signed the Poor-rate which he now put in, he might appear subject to a like charge unless he explained how the matter stood. He was last year appointed Overseer of Bungay, St. Mary. He would not say more of that appointment than that it was not made in a friendly spirit ; but, being made, he resolved to execute the office with his best ability. Shortly afterwards he was summoned to assist in making a poor-rate, and was requested to sign it, as the assessment regularly adopted by the parish. He did so, remarking that he knew nothing about parish mat ters, and his signature was merely formal. When the next quarter came round, he had satisfied himself the assessment was not a just one, and he pointed out one especial instance of inequality. He added, however, that as he was resolved to do nothing which might obstruct or embarrass the collection of the Poor-rate, or which might subject him to the suspicion of lighting the Church-rate battle onPoor-rate ground, he would sign the present rate, on the understanding that during the en suing quarter a vestry should be held to consider the points in dispute. 'Phis was unanimously assented to, and the rate so signed was the one he now put in. No Vestry was, however, called, and at the next quarter he said he thought there had been a breach of good faith, and he must now decline to sign the rate. Still, for the reasons before assigned, he pledged himself not to prevent its being allowed, nor to appeal against the assessment while he continued in the office. When the fourth quarter came, he complained of the neglect with which the subject had been treated, re fused to sign the rate, and moved not a specific amend ment of the assessment, but that a vestry be forthwith held to consider the matter. :n deference to the con venience of one Churchwarden who was absent, he re frained from specifying the day for such meeting, and the resolution being unanimously adopted, was entered in the Vestry Book and signed by the other Church warden, who was Chairman. _ To his surprise both the Churchwardens refused to call any Vestry for the purpose, and although he might have done so himself, and was strongly urged to de it by the Assistant Overseer, he refi ained from it on the simple possibility that it might be called a hostile act. Under these circumstances he thought the Judge would hold him now entitled to impeach the justice of the assessment in question. The JUDGE—Yes, I understand, Mr. Childs, that you signed this Poor-rate officially, but did not thereby ex press your approval of the assessment. The neat Court was fixed for July 27.

On Saturday there was a very full attendance at the Vestry, in consequence of an anticipation that a commu nication would be made in reference to the late injunc tion of the Vice-Chancellor against the Vestry borrow ing the sum of 25,0001. (the particulars of which have been fully detailed in the The Sun), and which decision was reversed by the Lord Chancellor ; and there were among the members present the Earl of Manvers, Sr B.

Dr. Thenitc offered an ap0166 3 Jo, reverend gentlemen who had undertaken to obtain an injunction against the Vestry. He trusted that they would consider that though persons belonging t o his order were bound by so solemn an adjuration as that re ferred to by the mover, some allowance would be made, as in the course of years it was scarcely to be supposed but that the impressions which were made on assuming the office would not be so strong as they were when that oath was taken. The Reverend Gentleman concluded by hoping that all party feeling would henceforth cease. Mr. G. A. YOUNG observed, that in asking for an injunction, he was one of those who had been charged with a fraudulent intention in desiring to borrow the money. Now that the Lord Chancellor had given his decision, it was ten times more imperative on those who had promoted the trial, to withdraw the charge of fraud which had been made against the Vestry.—(Hear.) Mr. BIERS supported the motion. He could not re frain from observing that he viewed the argument of the reverend gentleman as most remarkable. It any one person more than another ought to be bound in the ob servance of an oath, that person ought to be a Christian minister. Mr. KENSETT observed that the Vestry ought n ot to confine their case to the printing and publishing of the paper for the benefit of the parishioners. A p u blic meeting ought to be held for the purpose of giving the parish an opportunity of expressing their opinion. It ought to be known that in the expenses incurred the Vestry had been forced to take a defensive part. L a st Wednesday's proceedings, he was informed, amounted to upwards of 300/. Mr. CLAPP said that he would support the resolution, if only in the view of having a public meeting upon the subject The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was agreed to unanimously ; and the Committee already appointed was requested to carry it into effect. THE EXPERIMENTAL WOOD PAVEMENT. A memorial was presented from Messrs. Jackson and Graham, of Oxford -street, requesting that the Vestry would give directions that less water might be deposited on the wood pavement, the effect of so much water which is now daily poured upon the wood tending to cause it to be so slippery, that it was with much difficulty the horses could pass along its surface. Mr. KENSETT moved that the surveyor be directed to pay attention to the suggestion contained in th e me morial. He was fully convinced that it would be found from experience that very little water would be required for wood paving. Already one effect of the new plan was that the contractor for removing the mud from the wood proposed to reduce the contract from 9001. to 3001., the former being the sum asked for taking the mud from the M'Adamised road. Mr. BIERS seconded the motion, which was agreed to unanimously. LIBRARIES ON BOARD MEN OF WAR. Little was attempted till within the last twenty years, except the appointment of chaplains and schoolmasters to certain ships ; and, setting aside the performance of Divine Service on Sunday by the former, the value of which is not questioned, it is no breach of truth or charity to say that little was done either for the work kg sailor or marine. Little pains" were taken, at least systematically, to train and instruct the mind. Discip line, in the military sense of the word, having in viewtto encouragement of good, as well as the punishment of bad conduct, was enforced ; but it must be admitted that the latter mode generally predominated much over the former, necessarily, and from no proneness to severig in commanding officers. Had safe,and therefore salu'carY information been generally communicated on all fitting opportunities, it is not too much to affirm that the order of things would have been reversed—that punishment would have been little, and reward much. The bearing of these observations on the subject in hand, the health of seamen, is evident. " The most simple and comprehensive method for accomplishing that end, would have been the supply amusing and instructive books. Sailors can generally read, and many of them are fond of reading, as ever/ one who has been much at sea, and observed the er.ger" ness with which they fasten on any books which fall la their way, and read, either alone for to a group of at tentive listeners, knows. Yet, till a comparatively cent date, no measures were adopted, at least at the public expense, to gratify and foster a taste from which many advantages, direct and indirect, might have been derived, and may, and no doubt will be derived. Less than twenty years ago, Bibles and Prayer-books, and. more recently, religious tracts, were issued gratuitously The excellence of the measure, and of the motive whieb led to its introduction, are fully admitted ; but it is T o disparagement to either, to say that more was wanted' Knowledge must p rece d e conv i ct i on ; and, in, the ordt' nary course of things, the mind must be opened, an d enlight' erred by ordinary means, before it can be, mad e capabl e of understanding the doctrines, and receiving the bene fits of religious truth. Entertaining these opinions, which few, it is he. lieved, will controvert, it is gratifying to know that means have been adopted ti) supply so great a wan t ' and, to attain ends of such importance, agreeable oecu" pation of the mind, and improvement of its faculties► i leading t o i ncrease of health, and greater efficiency national force. By an Admiralty order, dated Au gust, 1838, libraries are directed to be established is each of her Majesty's ships, for the use of the er e l furnished at th e pu bli c expense, and placed in charge 0 the schoolmaster. The books, amounting to 270 ye; lumes f or l arge , an d 100 for smaller ships, exclusive 0 . 1 bibles, are judiciously chosen, with the view of comb's" ing a m usement an d i nstruetion, and making the firs t subsidiary to the last. Besides the accomplished 11 now appointed t o i nstruct the junior officers, it further dir ec t e d, b y an order from the Admiralty, I‘l, • 91 1837, that a fit person should b e a p po i nte d to g i ve dr m 8 near education, comprehending reading, writi and arithmetic, t o t h e sailor boys, and other seamen an marines who may require it. " There can be no doubt of the value of these n' ea i sures, or of th e b eneficial results to which they l lead, if th at on health alone is considered. Many .less deserving have attracted much notice, and obta in ' high praise.
