At a moment when the subject of national educa tion is occupying so large a space in the public mind, it is reasonable that we should revert not merely to the general neglect of which we have been guilty towards the nation at large in regard to its intellec tual Culture, hut likewise to every act of positive injustice that can be laid to our charge in is relation to this important topic. And, h, , there no point upon which the British Le 7 I r c ould now-a days be more prominently and atireo. assailed, for not having acted up to the suc ce ss fullyre quire men ts of an enlightened age, than that presented by seventeen it has continuously given d ur i ng the last te years to sanction the admis s i on a Dissenterseivnetooteuhnr Universities. That the Parli ament, previous to n Relief Bill of 1829, should have maintained the pro hibition, as enforced by the Universities, against the :Roman Catholics and Dissenters, is not so much a matter of astonishment ; but its perseverance in the same course, after the Roman Catholics had been admitted to a participation in the highest civil privi leges in the State, and after the passing of the Reforni Bill, which caused its spirit of improve ment to light upon all the corporate bodes of the empire, the Universities excepted, redounds neither to its honour, wisdom, justice, nor liberality : Owing to the right which was claimed 4012 . Wulf t'ofi the State to impose civil disabilities vpen subjecii\whose religious tenets differed, in par *Wiz formsf om those of the Established Church, 4 , .. . aid owing to e apprehension entertained that to •-:, 41 a je, !."; " 1 ?~~ '~~ abandon this right would weaken, if not subvert, the religion of the State, the Relief Bill was kept in agitation for half a century before it became the law of the land; but, although opposed to the opinion of the Legislature, public opinion continued steadily to rise, till at length its full tide set in, and forcibly swept away the main barriers of religious persecu tion. Without troubling themselves to deny it in the abstract, the people at large justly conceived that the right, which had been put forward as being in herent is the State, had, in the nineteenth century, and in respect to the Roman Catholics, practically resolved itself into an impolitic and unjust exercise of power, and they generously-repudiated the notion that, by opening the portals of the Constitution to millions of their fellow-countrymen, against whom they had so long been closed, the religious welfare of the com munity would be in any wise affected. And thus was a great advance made in the cause of religious liberty. The idle fear which was suffered to infect the mind of the Legisla ture, that the people could not he intrusted with a large increase of political power, without en dangering the balance of the Constitution, unjustly deprived the middle classes for half a century of those rights and privileges which, it may almost be said, were wrested from the aristocracy to be finally embodied in the Reform Bill. Our modern Magna Charta and the Relief Bill owe their success entirely to the " pressure from without." As Lord MEL BOURNE said, in 1837, " every institution is unwilling to reform itself;" and this remark is peculiarly ap plicable to the Universities. Nevertheless we are persuaded that the same external influence which secured the two great measures to which we have adverted will, whether the Legislature shall choose to act promptly and judiciously or not, suffice before long to induce Parliament to take into its own hands the reformation and improvement which is so much needed in the leading Universities of the empire. The House of Commons will this week have an opportunity of reconsidering the whole question, and of determining whether it is right to permit the system to continue of excluding Dissenters from the honours and privileges which Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin are empowered to confer. On Thursday next Mr. CHRISTIE will re-open the discussion. We heartily wish him success. He ought, and, no doubt, will feel emboldened in persevering with an object which, for its benevolence and enlightenment, entitles him to a large share of public gratitude, when he remembers that the present Prime Minister and other eminent statesmen have seconded his past exertions for rendering our ancient and influential seats of learning really worthy of the British nation. Cer tainly, at no time so much as the present, could the undoubted grievances of the Dissenters, so far as sound policy is concerned, be more opportunely re eioved. Rightly, or wrongly, the Dissenters are just now strongly excepting to the Government plan of education, and mainly on the ground that the patronage to be created by it will not be inconsider able, and that the Church - will come in for the lion's share. Whether, under all the circumstances by which the vexata guava() of national education is environed, the objections to Lord LANSDOWNE'S scheme be well or ill-founded, yet, seeing how un ustly the Dissenters have been treated by the Univer- ities, whose authority is wielded almost entirely by clerical members of the Established Church, and seeing also how much the Dissenters have done for The Carlist Generals ELI° and ZAVALA have entered Navarre and joined General ALZAA. The Carlist insurrection, however, is, it is said, rapidly dying away. 1 ing blessings among the poverty-stricken of Glasgow and Dundee, in the shape of those Industrial Schools where the outcast children receive bodily as well as mental nourishment. These advantages have been and are still being effected by private and unassisted enterprise; they are springing spon taneously from the charity of the popular heart. Beautiful as the endeavours are therefore, they are necessarily weak and, to a very considerable extent, ineffective. It requires the potent and con centrated impulse of Government to give efficacy to these struggles against ignorance. There is a ne cessity for the stretching forth of the arm of the Executive to the help of whatever ragged schools, and reformatory schools, and industrial schools, have yet dared to raise their redeeming heads, and to show forth their plenary benevolence. England presents a gigantic field for those Governmental labours— Ireland, a profound abyss. We want the diminu tion of the sources:of our physical contamination, and GOD knows we are sadly in need of a diminution of the sources of ow moral and social corruption ! The Prussian Diet held a short sitting on the 12th, at which it resolved that an address should be sent in answer to the KING'S speech, and it appointed a committee to draw it up. The members of the Prussian Diet were presented by their marshals to the KING on the 12th, and after wards had the honour of dining at the palace with his MAJESTY and the Princes of the Royal Family. The Ministers were also present. During the dinner the KING proposed a toast to the country and the United Diet, and expressed a hope that the labour of the assembly would be useful to the nation. The toast was received with enthusiastic acclamations. The Post-Ampt Gazette of Frankfort publishes a letter from Berlin, stating that the effect produced there by the speech of the King of PRUSSIA, on open ing the Diet, was so favourable, that the funds rose nearly one per cent. We find in the Augsburgh Gazette a letter dated the 10th instant, which states that the five great Powers had instructed their ambassadors in Vienna to adjust the difference which has arisen between the Porte and the Greek Government. Letters from Rome of the Bth instant announce that Cardinal Gizzi, the Secretary of State, had ten dered his resignation on the 6th, but the POPE had refused to accept it. Madrid journals of the 11th have arrived. The Government, it was said, had received positive assurances that it was not the intention of Queen CHRISTINA to return to Spain, but that when she quitted Paris she intended proceeding to Marseilles, to embark from thence for Naples. General SERRANO left Madrid on the 11th. Pre viously to his departure he was visited by Senor Ras DE OLANO and by Senor DE LA VEGA, the private secretary to the QUEEN. education, despite of the frowns of power and the existence of miserable and narrow-minded Senor OLOZAG♦ was expected in - Madrid on the 11th. He will be speedily followed by General °sonic), the friend of ESPARTERO. OSORIO has received a full pardon, and is reinstated in all his honours. The Madrid mail of the 12th had not arrived in Paris when the post left on Saturday. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Journal des Debats announces, in what may be considered an official form, the appointment of the Duc DE BROGLIE as Ambassador to the Court of London. The Bill authorising the Bank of France to issue notes of the value of 200 f. has passed the Chamber of Deputies by a large majority, the amendment of M. LEON FaucitEß (proposing to authorise the issue of notes of 100 f.) having been previously rejected. The announcement which appeared in the Patric of Wednesday, of the execution of the three persons convicted of rioting at Buzancais, was, it appears, pre mature. The execution was to be delayed until Friday, according to the National. The Saele ex presses a hope that this delay may be favourable to the convicts. It says-- " The evening journals of Wednesday announced posi tively. and one of them, the Patrie, with the most eh curnstantial details, tne execution of 1.1:10 tnree unfortunate persons condemned to death for the affair at Buzancais. This news has been repeated as certain by most of the morning journals. The Debuts itself, which ought to have been better informed, reported that the execution took place on the 12th, in the public market-place at Buzancais, amidst a prodigious concourse of people from the environs, adding that there was a great display of military force from Bourge, Nevers, and Chateauroux. Notwithstanding all this, the magistrates, who have seats in the Chamber, and who, by reason of their special posi tion, have been called upon to follow all the phases of this deplorable affair, declared yesterday that the sen tence upon the condemned men at Buzangais had not been executed. We hope that this happy delay, which has allowed the Government time to appreciate the unanimous feelings of the public, will save these un fortunate men, who certainly were very guilty, and who Would have no claim to pity, if their crime had not, in a degree, sprung from the popular agitation excited by the apprehension of famine. Our intention, as we trust our readers, will conceive, is not to extenuate the crime of murder, which has been committed. We have respected, even in all its rigour, the decree of justice. But can the shedding of blood on the scaffold expiate the blood of the victim ?" The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance ap pointing in the department of Public Works a general committee on railways. This committee is divided into four sections : first, that of lines of di rection ; secondly, the working in a scientific point of view; thirdly, the working in a commercial point of view ; and, fourthly, the regulations. Each sec tion is to be consulted, according to the nature of its attributions, on such questions as belong to it. The Speech of the King of PRUSSIA on the opening of the States-General is the subject of comment in almost all the Paris papers of Saturday. The Con stitutionnel draws the following curious parallel be tween the opening of the States-General of France in 1789, and those of Prussia in 1847: " Prussia gives at this moment a curious and solemn spectacle to the rest of Europe. The States-General have just been opened at Berlin, as the States-General of France were opened in 1789. There, too, is a King beloved by the nation, who, influenced by the lib era l movement of his century, takes the initiative of this con vocation. The Assembly is also divided, in nobles, who for the most part believe in equality, and in citizens, who have the sentiment of their rights. The first questions proposed by the royal power are questions of finance ; but the Assembly seems pre -occupied above all by the desire to assure and develop the liberties of which it. takes possession. Around the States a nation of writers, of controversialists, of thinkers, discuss natural and histo rical rights, the origin of the powers, and the best con stitution. These similarities, although they are more apparent than real, and although there are very profound differences between the two nations, the two periods, and the two sovereigns, do not the less appear to have caused a very profound impression on the mind of the King of Prussia. The speech which he delivered on the opening of the States seems altogether inspired by aversion for liberal French principles, by the ter rible remembrance of the Constituents and Louis X.VI. The King declares twenty times in his speech, and with the greatest energy of language, ' that no power on earth will be strong enough to induce him ever to change the natural relation between the Sovereign and his people, into a conventional constitutional one, gua ranteed by charters, and sealed by oaths.' Never will he permit ' that a written sheet shall place itself forcibly tetween God and Prussia to govern that country with its paragraphs.' The natural relations between the King and the people are founded on the ' royal omnipotence ; ' and the people owe obedience, not servile, but dictated by God and the conscience. The States are instituted in virtue of the ' historical German law;' the Deputies represent neither the people nor ' opinions;' they exercise their proper rights, those which they enjoy in virtue of an cient laws, and those which the Crown has ' recognised ; ' the Crown must ' reign according to the laws of God and the land, and to its own five will, and not according to the will of majorities, if Prussia is not soon to be an empty sound in Europe.' The King expects sad expe riences; he complains bitterly of part of the press, and of Prussian Liberals; he counts on his people, who will not see the ' absolute power' of their kings broken, and who will second him in his struggle against democratic efforts, and the ' Kicked desires' of the cen tury. Our readers will understand that we shall not here discuss these theories, which are so much in con tradiction with our ideas in matters of natural right, of political right, arid of liberty. The King of Prussia, with great warmth, praises the English nation, whose constitution, he says, is the work of centuries, and of incomparable hereditary wisdom. It would be easy to us to show that the English nation, since it founded and developed its liberty, has never considered royal omni potence the basis of constitutional right, that the writ oaths.hto applaud writ ten text of the law reigns supreme over the people and the Kings of England, that the political institutions of Great Britain are guaranteed by charters and sealed by governs lrai 13 : iid u a t instead of opening a useless controversy, we prefer to follow the King of Prussia and the nation which William inhe riereacgeoh:seitrseoepus generous that t ht sentiments,h e i e m a k t h e aen t towards w righthaornd.goos uflrivboetri their n.tyg upatriotism,e taxes—whenev en he es aeexecelrudsnsivteonetehses courts.Wh When justice F p r u e b d l e i c *fad oral trials —when he proclaims liberty of - con- prejudices, it assuredly is not unnatural, to say the least, that they should look with no favourable eye upon any plan of education of which they conceive the tendency would be to impart additional strength to an institution that has hitherto proved itself so inimical to the progression and development of their civil and religious liberties. Neither is it to be ex pected that this feeling of hostility will abate till full ustice shall have been meted out to the influentia religious communities that exist in this country with out the pale of the Church. Our Universities should be forwith re-organised, and have their laws re modelled in accordance with the rights of con science and principles of religious freedom. Talk as we may about the advisability of pre venting the corruption of our populous cities by the poisonous systems of intermural interment, of ne glected drainage, and of forgotten ventilation, there are other causes of corruption—of social and moral corruption—which call yet more loudly for a legisla tive interference. Sanatory measures, however com prehensive, cannot affect these causes. National education, however liberal in its distribution of knowledge, cannot sufficiently counteract their bane ful influences. Poor-laws, however generously de vised, cannot tend to their eradication or even their abatement. We mean, of course, the brood from which come juvenile offenders—those swarms of young creatures which infest the rookeries of this vast metropolis—children in years, but aged in wretchedness, and poverty, and ignorance, and vice, and degradation. You may see them whenever you so list, " on a summer day, when in the blessed sunshine and warm air, misery itself will sing, dashing in and out of these closes, careering over the open ground, engaged in their rude games, arrayed in flying drapery, here a leg out and there an arm." " Their thin faces," continues the same writer—one who has watched the brood with a heart melting in his bosom with compassion, " their thin faces," he says, " tell how ill they are fed ; their fearful oaths tell how ill they are reared; and yet the merry laugh, and hearty shout, and scream of delight, as some unfortunate urchin, at leap-frog, measures his length upon the ground, also tell that GOD made childhood to be happy, and that in the buoyancy of youth even misery will forget itself." The name of this deplorable class is Legion. Visit the poorest districts of any large tovrn, but especially of the capital, and you will see this crowd of chil dren—the spawn of poverty and vice —sprawling in the gutters, crouched on the doorsteps, clusteredin the car riage road, and scattered over the pavement. They are bloated with unwholesome living ; they are emaci ated with want ; they are ugly, sallow, dirty, ragged, wretched, sickly, despicable. Here is one of them, taken at random, and sketched with the truthful pencil of the benevolent writer Nye have already quoted:—" Poor fellow ! it is a bitter day; he has neither shoes nor stockings ; his naked feet are red, swollen, cracked, ulcerated with the cold; a thin thread-worn jacket, with its gaping :rents, is all that protects his breast ; beneath his shaggy bush of hair he shows a face sharp with want, yet sharp also with intelligence beyond his years." That is no in dividual portrait, it is the portrait of an entire species—it is a faithful delineation of those deplorable atoms of humanity that are warmed into life in the foulest corners of our larger municipalities. They are as plants that sprout up into noxious and poisonous brambles if neglected--but which, if transplanted and tended, would flourish, would bloom, would give a whole some and abundant fruitage. What we have here remarked is applicable to England, to Wales, to Soatland. How immeasurably more applicable, thetrefore, must it be to the famishing and miser able millions of Ireland. When it is proved 'by statistical evidence that such is the multipticßy of those abandoned children, can we be amazed at the fre- quency of crime, at the crowded state of our penal settlements, at the thriving trade in jtxs tice carried on in our criminal courts, at the busy occupation of our turnkeys, and the practised skill of our hang- men ? With such plentiful supplies of seed strewn so lavishly over such a congenial soil, can we be in any manner surprised at the extent an n 1 frequency of the harvests ? Alas ! it is the parable of the tares and the thistl es aga i n — neg l ecte d i n the spr i ng -t i me, and torn up only when they have effectually choked For the diminution ri o n f o e u v s i , ls st l re . being made n b a y agee hnincohniseetraotrtlsenagrethnorew vderacyhnenalranst and p ractical philan thropist. h tollethose ardent tnadrtin into existence in many despised localities 8a gentle and intrepid women, honour, c.nour to those the stench, tour and self-denying men, who for the Fa . com mon humanity brave all the filth, all all the noise, all the suffocating and sick s en e i nch ' i fluences of those wretched dens where the forlorn and callow young are gathered under The wings of a benignant knowledge!

There is there a movement towards liberty, and we pardon King Frederick William for being in his speeches less just towards France than he appears to desire to be in several of his acts towards his O,VFI country. One thing, however, strikes us in this speech—the declaration of a sort of renewal of the Holy Alliance. Atter having spoken in general terms of the friendly relations which exist between Prussia and her neighbours, the King adds, ' and with our allies, whom we formerly aided in making Germany free, and upon whose blessed concord with us depends the main tenance of the peace which has now reigned for thirty two years, our relations are firmer and closer than ever.' In these words are grave symptoms of the disposition of Europe towards us, especially during the last few months." The Journal des _Mats gives the following account of the effect produced by the Royal speech on the auditory : " The strange impression which the Royal speech produced on the auditory was depicted on the counte nances of all. The assembly was thrown into great agitation. A considerable number of Deputies bad de termined on immediately quitting Berlin and returning home, but the counsels of prudence and moderation prevailed, and the excitement by degrees subsided. The correspondent of the Cologne Gazelle properly observes that the King's speech had placed from the onset the deliberations of the Diet on a ground widely different from that which the Members, in their preparatory meetings, intended to assume." The Union Monarehique thus sums up the objects of FREDERICK WILLIAM in assembling the States, and the means he has adopted to obtain those objects : " This Prince, whom some have called philosophe, but whom we shall call wise, has comprehended all the dangers of rendering the royal authority too feeble. He does not think that it ought to be infringed by too hasty concessions; he wishes to make use of his own words, that his crown which he has received without a blemish shall pass untouched to his legitimate successors. There is one point, in fine, upon which the speech of Frederick William leaves no doubt or equivocation. He has an antipathy to written charters; he rejects them with energy, we may even say in rather a military style. On the whole this speech clearly analyses, and without any mental reservatiox, the real object of the Monarch—to reconcile by a judicious measure the representative with the monarchical principle, favouring the first without taking anything from the integrity of the second; con secrating their growing alliance by pacific means, with out any violent efforts likely to produce a shock. This is a grand spectacle, exhibited to revolutionary schools, which have hitherto refused to admit of such a union. It is a great problem to be solved, and we hope that it will be solved without collision, without any abrupt shocks, without any rebellion. If this great undertaking be brought to a good end it will be a most forcible demon stration of the truth of the dictum, that enlightened liberty is the holy daughter of monarchy." The Bill establishing a line of steam-packets between Havre and New York has passed the Cham ber of Peers. The Prince BE JOINVILLE, having under his corn mand the line-of-battle ships Souverain, Jena, and Jupiter, sailed on the 1 1 th, from Toulon, for the islands of Hyeres. The health of Lord COWLEY has considerably improved. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market on Satur day were about 4,000 bales, the market being quieter. A larger quantity was on offer, and prices were more in favour of buyers. Surat, 300 bales, sold at 4d to sd; 50 bales Egyptian realised 7id. to 8d; and the rest was American, at 60. to 7d. per lb. Railway Shares were dull, and generally drooping. A most important feature has prevailed in the Corn market this morning. The purchases on French and Belgian account have been immensely large. Nearly all the stands were, in fact, cleared off. The price of Wheat was fully 6s. per quarter in advance of the rates of last Monday ; Oats are Is. to 2s. per quarter ; and Barley, 2s. per quarter dearer. There was in truth a positive rush to purchase from the mo ment the market opened until all was cleared off. Such an active and brisk demand, while it lasted, has not been seen for very many years past. For a season at least this extraordinary advance must have an influence on the operations of the Court of Directors of the Bank of Eng land. The steamer which leaves Liverpool to-morrow for the United States takes out some amount of specie again, but there is reason to believe that as Messrs. Rothschild and one or two other firms have received a large amount in bullion from the continent, within the last few day' s there has been application made to them by exporters of coin, rather than to the Bank of England. The latter, it is stated, has declined to buy the specie imported by the firms alluded to at a higher price than usual, and this may induce them to ship it to America and foreign parts on their own account. Under any circumstances the receipt of this money must afford present relief, and it would be scarcely of any use fur the Bank to be a buyer at a premium, when the whole might soon again be withdrawn at par by the holders of its notes. The wisest plan SOURS to be to let the bullion operators make their own arrangements. The Funds have been higher this morning, and there has been rather an increased demand for Stock. Consols for transfer to-morrow have realised 86} to 87, and for May 86k to 87g. The Reduced Three per Cant. An nuities have been 851 to 86i, and the New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. 87i to 874.

A new nautical drama, in two acts, entitled the Anchor rrop., v..n yr....need here last night : with rnrrinlote success. Neither the plot nor the incidents are very new, but the materials have been worked up by the hands of an artist. The incidents are striking, and follow each other in quick succession ; the dialogue is well written, and the acting of Mr. J. T. Johnson as a sailor, (he is the legitimate successor of T. P. Cooke), of Miss Russell as Sally, the sailor's love (and admirably she acts the part), of Mr. T. Fredericks, as the villain of the piece, (he was called for at the conclusion so ad mirably did he act his part), and though last not least, of Mr. E. Stirling, the author, as a benevolent Jew were so excellent, that the piece was carried triumphantly through, and the Seaman's Star will for some time to come be the Anchor of Hope realised at the Surrey Theatre. The great feature of the night,however, was the Buffalo Gals, or the Female Ethiopean Serenaders. This is &Ise, from the pen of Mr. E. Stirling. Taking advantage of the present mania for black music, he has constructed an interesting drama, the scene of whi c h i s l a i d in a plantation in South Carolina. The proprietor, a benevo lent old man, Mr. Muggs (Mr. Hislop) holds high festi val on the birthday of his daughter. Mr. Mark Antony Wellington Nelson Tom Thumb, a fre e n i gger (capitally acted by Mr. H. Webb), and Silas Ilerrinebone, a regu lar Yankee speculator (Mr. Lewis), in panther inexpres sibles, have determined to form an engagement with a band of female Ethiopian slaves on the estate, headed by Miss Lucy Neal (Miss E. Terryin order to tak e th em to Eng land, and bring them out, order to ease the Eng lish of some of their gold. The female Ethiopians appear and give a rehear:- al of " Buffalo Gals," " Lucy Neal," " Old Dan Tucker," " The Boatman dance," and " Mary Blane." The concert being conducted by the black Mons. Jullien Mark Antony. These songs were given with great gusto—the solo parts sung by Miss E. Terrey—the lady who played on the bones proving her self no unworthy rival of the immortal Pell. Then fol lowed the " Railroad Overture " and the " Grape-vine twist." At last old Muggs, discerning their talents, frees them and gives them their liberty to come to Eng land, and at the Surrey Theatre the Female Ethiopians, led by Miss E. Terrey, will repeat their performance every evening ; and we opine that the " Buffalo Gals " will eventually become as popular at the Surrey, as the Ethiopians have become at thel St.j James's. Then followed the wonderful performances of the Bedouin Arabs ; and the interesting drama of The Bridge of Notre Dame, concluded the evening's amusements. The house was crowded to suffocation long bafore the rising of the curtain. IL • Me, .er ijesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Countess of Mount Edgcumbe, the Hon. bliss Cavendish, Lord Byron, Gen. Wemyss, and the Hon. Capt.

THE GAME NUISANCE. —II is a notorious fact that gamekeepers, when they have got a poacher into their " snare," in the way of conviction worry for half of the penalty. The half -penalty system is a direct premium for perjury, and that it has been committed by keepers and their men (who are mostly ignorant and impudent) to a shocking extent is also a notorious fact. These, and a multiplicity of evils more, through the game nuisance, game-preserving gentry are a seourge to the country THE OPERATITH BAKERS.-011 Saturday night a very fully attended meeting of the masters and journeymen bakers of the metropolis and environs took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, o n behalf of the Opera tive Bakers' S oc i ety.

Sin,—The past week's racing at Catterick has borne out my anticipations pretty nearly to the letter, having hit the mark in fire cases out of seven. At Bath I was not so sue cessful, the state of the ground putting all my previous calculations completely to the rout; I was only right in two instances, in two I named the second, and in the other two (the City Cup and the Somersetshire Stakes) I was out altogether, having named Brave Buck and Clermont as the couple most likely to win the Handicap: the first did not start; the latter ran a wretched third, in consequence of the heavy state of the course. For the Metropolitan Stakes I selected, among others, the Emerald Isle and Clermont. The former threw away her chance (a first-rater, by the bye) by running against the cords, jumping them, and playing off other extraor dinary pranks, anything but pleasant to her backers, or that thorough-bred son of the Emerald Isle, her owner. Barring this accident, she would have been either first or second, in my humble opinion, and that sbe will not be far from winning the Chester Cup is also my firm con viction. Clermont won very cleverly, beating that splendid racer Wolfdog by a short neck in the last stride or two; Brother to Stitch, by Hornsea, out of Industry, running a game third. The latter nag must not be lost sight of; he will be doing something extraordinary in the handicaps before the year is out. Clermont's per formance in this race entitles him to the appellation I bestowed on him a week since, of the " champion of the feather-weights;" whether he will be able to run suc cessfully with heavier weights time will prove; at present he is indubitably one of our best second-rate three years old. For the Two Years Old Stakes I placed the first and second, nothing entered, in my opinion, having any chance with Antelope. A moderate meeting at Newmarket, 'yclept the "First Spring" begins in earnest to-day, with four sweepstakes to close and name the evening before running. A Sweepstakes of 50 sovs, each, across the flat, for three years old, has twelve nominations, but nothing likely to contend successfully with the King of Morven, who will not have more than two competitors. A Sweepstakes of 50 sous. each, over the Cambridge shire Course, will be reduced to a match between Mont pensier and Devil-me Care; the former for choice. Piccinino and Fistiana will win both their matches. On Tuesday the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes—the great attraction of the meeting—will bring together a distinguished batch of candidates for Derby honours, about eight in number. The following includes all that are likely to start:—Christopher, Conyngham, Sister to Cobweb colt, colt by Clearwell, out of Zipporah, Mont peusier, The Liberator, Lunedale, Halo, Planet, and Glentilt. Kent has a string of nine for Newmarket, including four engaged in the " Two Thousand," to wit, Halo, Planet, Glentilt, and Gabbier. Now of the last three it is extremely dubious which will go, or whether Mr. Mostyn will start two. The latter will most likely be the case, and Planet and Glentilt the nags selected. There is another doubtful affair attached to this race. Old Port has not been so lively lately either in constitu tion or in the market, consequently it is not very pro bable that he will start; but he might, and, if all right again, Mr. Worley would find that he had a golden drop of Beeswing in his Old Port, which would make him go lightly through the year. From Kent's lot I take Glentilt, as decidedly the best, and from the others Conyngham, Sister to Cobweb colt, and the Zipporah colt; but I am inclined to think that the race will lay entirely between Glentilt and Conyngham. The Sweepstakes of 300 soya. each will be an easy victory for Paragone. The Coffee-room Stakes will go to the Zipporah colt with a start, otherwise Projectile will walk over. On Wednesday Coningsby will win the Fifty Soy, Stakes, and lago the Two Hundred So's. Stakes, Con spiracy second, and Humdrum third. Piccinino and Alarm will win their matches, but neither with much - to spare. On Thursday for the One Thousand Guineas Stakes seven or eight will start, including Clementina and Slander, whom I expect first and second at the winning post, Belladonna well up. The One Hundred Sovs. Stakes will produce a race be tween Epirote and Halo—the former for victor. Typhon will have the credit of receiving forfeit from or beating Eiithen in their T.Y.C. spin. On Friday the Harmony colt, Cossack, War E a gl e , Epirote, and perhaps two or three , more, will contest the Newmarket Stakes, when War Eagle will receive his quietus from the winner, Epirote, the Harmony colt being third, and Cossack fourth. The Fifty Sovs. Stakes are all butinthe en p t n o c c a ltet pu o t f his Grace of Bedford , for nothing but accident a stopper on Fistiana's pretensions. The One Hundred Sovs. Stakes Piccinino ought to win, Gag second. Lord E. Russell with Reminiscence will take the other One Hundred Sovs. Stakes, without a doubt, neither of her opponents being within 71b. of her. With War Eagle's match ends the First Spring Me e ing of 1847.—1 am, Sir, &c. April 19. THE SPIRIT OF THE TUR ' KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL. —In consequence of Th e great incre ase o f app li cants, both for in and out-door relief, ul and the inadequacy of the funds to meet the ex penses, the committee have just issued the following report, and appeal to the affluent to come forward and assist the governors of the institution in their endeavours to con tinue the usefulness of the hospital. They say— "There is no locality in the metropolis where the assistance of an hospital is more needed than that in which Ring's College is situated, being surrounded on all sides by a dense mass of population. During the past year upwards of 16,500 out-patients and 1,296 in-patients were cured or relieved. The expenditure for the year exceeded the in come by 6301. The committee are desirous of continuing to admit all who come with or withoukletters of recommen dation ; but as they have no funded property, and rely en tirely upon the donations and subscriptions of the benevolent, they will not be enabled to do so unless some assistance is afforded them." ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S INN ROAD.-- Owing to the continued severity Of the weather, coupled with the prevalence of typhoid fever, the doors of the Royal free Hospital, in Gray's Inn-road, have been literally thronged with destitute sick applicants for relief or admis sion. The number of patients amounted on Sunday to 333. The asylums for the houseless in various parts of the metro polis being closed for the season, accounts for this pressure upon the institution. • COURT CIRCULAR.

BRITISH MUSEUM—NEW HAL L This splendid addition to the national establishmen t, was opened for the first time to the public yesterday morning. The facade is now nearly completed; the inte rior, however, is entirely finished, and embellished in the Etruscan order. The colouring throughout is rich, chaste, and in perfect keeping with the ancient example° of that order handed d own to us f rom antiquity. The hall is spacious, nearly square; on the right hand as the visitors enter is the commodious room in which is placed the Granville Library, which was bequeathed to the country a short time ago. On the left is another spa' cious room, containing a portion of the celebrate, Townley Collection; this part of the new edifice is 11 , 1 future to be distinguish e d as th e T own l e y Gallery, B e " when entirely finished will form the means of Com munication with the whole building. The hall is latit with a pannell e d roof, in the centre of which is a large gold star on a blue ground, which has a remarkably pleasing appearance. On the right of the entrance door is Roubilliac's well k nown and exquisite statue 0 f Shaltspere ; on the left of th e en t rance is another statu e by Chantrey; both are placed on white marble pedestals; The floor of the hall is laid out in very large squares 0 ! At Portland stone, with small grey marble diamonds. the back of the hall is a magnificent flight of steps' with a ballustrade of polished stone so highly worked up that it resembles porcelain. The ballustrade rests f )11 _ a wall of red granite; at the lower termination of the ballustrade on either side is a white alabaster Etruscan vase' At the top of the flight is a landing-place the width o f the hall, to the right an d l e ft of which are corresponcl u i ; l l staircases leading to two na t ura l hi story ro oms, win c e open into the old mi nera l ga ll ery. Th e entranc e to thes e is by three doors finely painted after the Etruscan. P s . e . tout ensemble, as viewed from below, is imposing. - li" room in which the Lycian marbles are to be deposited ? built, and the specimens are now being placed in t he n / positions. This part of the building, however n ot be properly arranged for a year or two, as it is calcu lated it will occupy as l ong a p er i o d i n putting the frog' merits of the sculpture together —a delicate rocess r e- quiring the utmost taste, care, and skill. In conne ,zi9ll with ancient art, it is not generally known that in the museum have been placed some marbles brough t over by Sir Charles Fellowes from a temple dedicated t ° Harpagus, general of Cyrus, 546 years before Christ-' the earliest of examples of Greek art in our possession , showing that the same principle of liouilding and working the marble was used then as now.

LAUNCH OF ANOT HER, s,FEAMER. On Sa" turday afternoon a fine new iron steamer, called the Joseph Miller, was sent off the stocks into the Thames, from the building yard of Miller, Ravenhill and Co., at Orchard Wharf, Blackwell, in the presence of a considerable number strain ; t e r t. r of spectators.

She was built for the Lower and Middle Rhine Company, and for service on that river, after a design of Mr. Pasco. Her length between the perpendiculars is 175 feet ; breadth of beam, 19 feet; depth of hold, mid ships, 9 feet; draught of water, 2 feet 10 inches; burden, old measurement, 314 10-94ths tons. She will be fitted with a pair of Miller and Co.'s 40-horse power oscillating engines, and be lightly rigged with two masts. Her saloons. cabins, &c., are to be handsomely decorated, and furnished by first rate artists, and will probably exceed in elegance and com fort any vessel of the same class now afloat. The name was given, at the ur gen t request of the owners, compliment as a to Mr. Mill er as an engineer, and an expression of the com pany's sense o f th e i mportant services he has ren d er ed the by supplying th em w i t h t h e i r b est vessels, e speciallypecially the Elberfel4 and Concordi a , w hi c h h ave no equa l s o n the Rhine for speed or acc ommo d at i on .
