LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH &

IF there is one principle of his earli,,ryoo from
which Lord DEaBY has not apostatiral, .t is that on
which the national system of education, was founded
in Ireland under the administration 11 the late Earl
Onar. The present Premier Ira* at the time Chief
Secretary to the Lord Lientenr.nt ; and, after a good
dodo( hesitation and petulan,i iudeciiiion on his part,
the measure was finally decieied on by the cabinet,
and formally brought lin witrd in parliament by Mr.
E. O. STAN LET.

The fundamental 'hirlnciple on which the scheme
of primary instruc•aor, was based was clearly cle-
aned by its eloqu eat, parliamentary sponsor to be
the abnegation of all sectarian supremacy or pre-
ference on the port of the state, and the establish-
ment, on • t'Ame of perfect and entire equality, of
pfeblie ache ate throughout Ithe kingdom, in which
okildren WI all denominations might without distinc-
tive or 'aindrance receive the advantages of a sound
odereati an in secular matters. Religious instruction
wee *pacifically provided for ; but it was leR in the
hands of the pastors of each particular sect. By this
means it was proposed to meet the temporal wants
and, et the same time, to avoid the spiritual scruples
of the devout of all persuasions, and to create an in-
stitution for the benefit of the whole community such
es had never existed in Ireland before.

Foe twenty ries the National Board of Edam,-
lien then constituted has actively been :Red is
the discharge of the important duties mai to it.
From small beginnings and experimental it has
gone on extending the sphere of its influence until
every corner of the land has at length been enabled
to share in the great benefits which the system it
administers is calculated to afford. Manifold were the
difficulties which beset its path,—bitter and exiyeasit
the conflicting forms of religions distrust and suspi-
cion with which its tolerant and impartial spirit bad
to contend. But by degrees three difficulties have
sisocessively been overcome. 'rhe Presbyterian Synod
of Ulster, which at first refused to accept government
aid on the terms whereon it was tendered, after some
controversy came to an understanding with the
Board, and placed the entire of their schools in con-
nexioe therewith.

FENS the outset a great majority of the catholic
hierarchy and priesthood gladly accepted the prof-
fered boon. For several years, however, there were

in en equal proportion, by three millions of francs,
while the msni reserve had increased by seven

to aesamulate in the Bank, while its dis-
count accommodation continually diminished. In
fact the high rate of interest, together with the
severe formalities exacted by this established die-
esuarpd all but first-rate houses; so that not only
the Comptoir d'Escompte became a formidable rival
to the Bank, but swarms of discounters and usurers
were enabled to make 8 and 10 r cent. by dis-
gusting bills, which they got discounted

MPriitrot the report of the Minister o! Marine,
trhe main objects of this decree are to simplify
the machinery of the administration, to dispense with
many offices of Hide or essondery utility, to increase
the responsibility, and to rake the salaries of the
heads of &primate, and in the pascal result to
centralise the direction of the naval forces, and to
enable the minister in the conlidenes of the President
of the Republic to direct its movements at all times
with esdeesy and rapidity, and with the fewest pos-
sible amber of intermediate agents. Some ex-
tend by M. Daces invite attention.
H. out by saying that the maritime
power of a people consists essentially in
the number and quality of ships or cannons that
it can oppose to the enemy. The true business of
his department is to tweets and maintain a fleet capa-
ble of causing the independence and dignity of the
French flag to be respected on the seas. Sim-
plicity of the wheels of the administration, prompti-
tude in execution, and unity in the central direction,
are the indispensable conditions of every good naval
organisation. The movements of naval forces, ar-
maments, disarmament*, and instructions to be given
tointions (for all which there is:at present a separate
department), are in future to be concentrated in the
cabinet of the minister, where the unity of command
which gives fines is united with the secrecy which is
often the beet seendty for its exercise. The minister
will thus be • meaner hell the fleet in his own hands

itilbline, which in them times must also
be clamed as an Important one, proscribes an Glacial
annum. to be morn by pretesis,emb-prefects, mayors,
eel all functionaries dependant upon the idinistry
of the Interior. M. Penigny, in a solemn
=gem addressed to the Prince President,
?Lthat there is nothing in an offi-
ome contrary to the principle of equa-
lity, and enlarges upon the Increase of dignity
and respect which his subordinates will gain by
their livery. The decree renders it obligatory on
the functionaries to wear their uniforms in all public
esrenionies,and whenever theexerciseof their functions
may render the display of this emblem of their au-
thority necessary. An appendix to the decree de-
scribes the various costumes to be worn, the em-
broidery, the colour, and the buttons, with all the
minuteness of stage-directions.
Another decree prolongs the powers of the present
chambers of commerce, which are on the point of
expiring, until the promulgation of a new decree,
which is in preparation, for altering the mode of
their election.

Two other decrees regulate the composition of the
Council of Prudlionimes at Abbeville and at Conde-
sur-Noiream

There are also decrees enabling the departments of
Cdtes-du-Nord, Drume, Oers, and Slone and Loire,
to levy additional taxes fee the improvement of
public roads.
The intelligence of the elections is uninteresting.
The accounts continuo to speak of the almost uni-
versal success of the government candidates. In
these instances where opposition candidates are
elated the news will of course be kept back as long
as possible. M. Boohier de l'Ecluse, a legitimist, has

ITALY.
11APLES, Fits. St
The Duke d'Anniale, who is now in Naples, is
urging the Neapolitan government to remonstrate
with the Prince President phut the (vindication of
the Orleans property. The NeapoliUm government,
however, as well as the court, art perfectly pouted
to know how far they can countenance the champion
of "order"—how far they dare remonstrate, or how
far it would be prudent to keep silence.
Great anxiety was felt in Naples for the arrival of
the debate on the retirement of Lord Palmerston
from office. It is pretended here by some of the court
party that they knew the ex-Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs would be compelled to leave office before
long. Lord Granville, however, is gradually assuming
the same opinion in the estimation of despo-
tism in Italy, as that m honourably enjoyed
by Lord Palmerston. A foreign diplomatist, who
has just rimed through Italy, enures me our
foreign policy at present is just as odious to the views
of the Vatican and Austria aa it was, and such will
continue to be the case so long as we are &wish in
our policy, no matter who may be in power.
The news of the attempt on the life of the Queen
of Spain has produced a profound sensation on his
Sicilian Majesty, who has suspended all audiences
for the present. Ilia Majesty arrived in Naples a
few days since accompanied by a strong body of
hussars from Caserta.

The treatment which Poerio and his companions
received on their journey from Ischia to Montefosco
is worthy of Naples rule and Naples humanity. They
were chained together during the whole of the
journey, and not allowed to get out of their vehicles
oven for the most urgent reasons. On arriving at
Avellino, a distance of 27 miles from Naples, they
prayed to be allowed to descend, but were told by
their guards that they would willingly grant such a
natural request, but their orders were very positive.
On arriving, half dead, at Montefosco, they found no
beds or any necessary preparations, and were
obliged to lie down on the bare stone door. My in-
formation is derived from a gentleman who has just
left the prison of Montefoseo. Paerio is represented
am suffering very much, and not likely to live long.
Captain Niaco is rapidly. sinking, and spits blood.
The mother of Poeno is now perfectly out of her
mind.

The Prince President has sent a decoration to the
eldest son of his Sicilian Majesty, and the King has
returned the compliment by giving the order of St.
Gennaro to M. Barret, the French Minister.
Mr. Morris, the American Minister, gave a grand
ball last evening in commemoration of the birth-day
of Washington. His excellency Sir W. Temple and
all the foreign ministers (excepting the Austrian)
were present.
Her Majesty's steamer Spiteful has arrived from
Leghorn, and will proceed immediately to Malta.

AFFAIRS AT RANGOON.

We have received, tit Trieste, accounts in antici-
pation of the Indian mail. A brief summary of the
news: transmitted by telegraph, appeared in our im-
premien of Monday last. The Bombay mimes of the
SA of February, says :
"We mentioned in our last that during the pre-
ceding fortnight our fears of war with Bnrmah
had at once ben awakened and allayed. At
the date referred to intelligence to the 2nd of
January had reached us from Rangoon, intimating
that the King of Burmah, on receipt of the letter of
the Governor-General, had ordered arrangements

•
to be made which seemed peaceful, ant in all
respects satisfactory to us. It quickly appeased
that these professions were deltuave: their deist
was to gain time : within a week war b=
On the 4th, the new Viceroy of the p
arrived at Rangoon, and immediately pro.
ceeded with a series of acts in the last degree
suspicious. British subjects were once more in-
sulted, and the late governor, whose insolence
had occasioned our remonstrances, was taken into
favour. A polite message sent by the commo-
dore, requesting to be informed when a deputation
from the squadron would be received, was met with
derision, and afterwards with a flat refusal. The
deputation having presented itself was informed, by
orders of the viceroy, that he was asleep, and all
intercourse with the shore and fleet was forbidden.
Matters having come to a crisis, Commodore Lam-
bert, on the 6th, directed all British subjects imme-
diately to embark, and offered refuge in the squadron
to all who desired it ; 60 unfortunates, who were
endeavouring to save their property, were de-
trined and thrown into prison,—the fleet having
proceeded to the opposite side of the river,
and remained at anchor for 24 hours, the
stesmeys being busily engaged meanwhile towing
the lesser vessels out to sea. At length the Viceroy
warned the Commodore on the 9th that should he
attempt to move down the river the squadron would
be fired on from the shore. On the morning of the
10th the Fox was towed down and anchored within
400 yards of the stockade; the stammer having re-
turned to bring away with her a Burmese man-of-
war, was tied on as she neared the Fox with
the prize in tow. The fire was immediately re-
turned with great vigour. The enemy dispersed
after some three of them were supposed to
have been slain. The squadron then proceeded
on its course, and the river ports of Bunnah pro-
claimed to bo in a state of blockade--an arrange-
ment coaditionally agreed upon beforehand by the
Goverarto-GGeneral. Commodore Lambert proceeded
immediately to Calcutta, to receive further instruc-
tions. We are now in the midst of active preps-
Mims for a campaign which cannot be fairly com-
mitted until October, by which time a rein-
foremost of steamers may be received from
England, should this be deemed requisite. Ame-
rican as well as British subjects have been in-
sulted. Our transatlantic brethren are said to long
for a slice of territory in the East. The Malayan
Peninsula is nearer the Western States than it is to
Europe, and is scarcely less attractive than Hin-
do-viten itself. The conduct of Burmah justifies a
war of annexation, and the sight of republican
energy and enterprise beside Anglo-Indian indolence,
apathy, and extravagance, might be of greater hese:
fit to India than the direct acquisition of te=

a couple of other young rears, having proseeled
from the fort of Dubb on a shooting excursion, were

for them ; the former was killed on the spot; the two
latter escaped unhurt. Colonel Mackeson, the new
Commissioner at Peshawar, is said to have succeeded
in his negotiations with these wild tribes to abstain in
future from molesting us. The Governor-General
was last heard of at Secrole; be had declined visiting
Lucknow or seeing the Xing of Oude. A long in-
terview with the Resident, Co'onel Shaman, is said
greatly to have alarmed the court, the character of
which, from the head downwards, seems to be as
' hateful as it is contemptible. His lordship was ex-
pected at Calcutta about the 6th. The Commander-
in-chief of India has left Peshawur, and is on his way
back to the provinces. The Governors and Com-
manders-in-Chief of Madras and Bombay are at their
respective presidencies. Trade is dull,freight low, and
thegeneral state of the country unsatisfactory even in
the midst of peace—a longing in all directions being
expressed for the expiry of the charter. The Bombay
government continues to temporise and bemystify
on Baroda matters—inecurring thmeeby an amount

of obloquy probably exceeding their nemerits, heavy
u they are; and never was the British character
held in lighter estimation in Western India than it
is at the present moment."

The Money Market.—Sine our last we have no change

seven percent. per annum) for the half-year ending 31st of

CALCUTTA.
(From the Overland Slar, Jan. 24.)
By the Bombay express and regular mail we were, en the
17th and 18th inst., put in possession of London dates up to
the Bth of December. The commercial intelligence is agsin
far from of a cheering character, low prices for all East
India produce continuing to characterise the home markets,
added to which the aspect of political affairs in France was
very lowering.
We h•vc little change to report in the position of mer-
cantile affairs here ; the comparatively low rates at which
many of our staples have been procurable, have tempted
purchmers, and the quantity going forward is pretty well
up to an average. In indigo large operations have taken
place; still, however, principally for France and Oulphs,
prices here being looked upon by English buyers aa still too
high, many parties here are of opinion that as soon as the
continental demand is satisfied that prices will decline. In
this opinion we do not now agree, as considerable shipments
'have been made, and more are in progress on planters' and
agents' account, by this means the quantity available is
considerably decreased, and it is reported that an English
speculator has securest some 3,000 chests. Taking all this
into account we think that present prices will be main-
tained, and would not be surprised to see an advance
towards the end of the mason. Should this supposition
prove correct very few of the English orders will be exe-
cuted, as the limits are considerably below our present
market value. Sugar has been attracting more attention,
and the quantity going forward is well up to an average,
being 17,17.015 mds. against, in 1850, 14,20,483 mds.
Saltpetre shipments have latterly fallen off, and we do not
think are likely to increase, asthe prices ruling here, at pre-
sent, cannot allow of its being laid down at home rates.
Rice continues to attract the attention of shippers, but the
total shipments of the past year show a marked falling off,
being 4,47,883 mils. against, in 1800, 7,40,071 mds. Corals,
show a very great falling off, the quantity gone forward
during the past year being only 3,16,689 pieces, against,
'in 18°0, 6,42,259 pieces, and in 1849, 6,16,342 pieces.
Exports of raw silk have fallen off considerably during the
year, the total quantity being 13,570 ands. against 6,988 in
18.10, and 16,864 mds. in 1849. In the position of other
goods we have little change to notice, but any other which
has taken plisse will be found under their respective heads.
Our import market has at length begun to show some few
symptoms of Improvement, a better demand having been
experienced for most of our Manchester staples, and prices
generally show a slight improvement. We are in hopes
that now that matters in the bazaar are becoming settled,
the lowest point has been S past, and that the coming
year will show a much more favourable result than the pre-
vious. All, however, now depends on shippers '•if we are
kept moderately supplied, prices will advance,hut if we
are glutted, as we were last year, no improvement can be
looked for.

Little change has taken place in our money market, the
rates of interest and discount at the different banks con-
tinuing unchanged. In the bazaar matters have assumed a
more cheering aspect, and the general impression seems to
be that the worst has passed. Government securities have
all given way in value, and are now at our quotations, with
a still downward tendency. Bank of Bengal shares rm, at
our quotations. In others nothing doing.

Exchange.—Shortly after the departure of the last mail,
some considerable transactions took place in document bills,
at Is. 21d.; since then, however, rates are more in favour
of drawers, and may now be quoted 2.. 2d. for document,
and 2s. lid. to 2s. lid. for credits.
Freights.—There has been some little fluctuation in rates,
sugar having been done at 24 10s., but now the tendency is
again downward, and little cargo offering.
Indigo.—After the arrival of the last mail, announcing
the state of political matters in France, there was a tem-
porary panic amongst buyers, but this was not of long
continuance, as at the neat sale, the bidding. were as
spirited as ever, in consequence of the French buyers find-
ing that there was not the difficulty they bad anticipated in
negotiating their drafts, and previous rates were firmly
supported. Our anticipations that large quantities would
go forward on planters' account have been realised,
several large shipments haring already been made and
others in the course of preparation. The sales by suction
hays been numerous and large, and by private contract se-
veral large purchases have been made, principally, as before
stated, by an English speculator.

1 RENEWAL OP THiBONDiNOPNIVILECIEB or MAN.
CHINTER.—A meeting of representatives of the trade* in-
terested in the cuntinnance of these privileges to Man-
chester was held weedier, Mr. Wro. ohb in the chair.
It was entiounceirthat the ;Ards of the Treasury had issued
• warrant for the resumption of the privilege. on the terms
proposed by the Bending Warehouse Company, by which
that company agree to guarantee the expenses to the cor-
poration after August next. The elpenses of the Customs
establishment in Manchester are to be greatly reduced, by
its concentration in the premises occupied by the Bonding
Warshaw Company in Salford.

-----
OUGHT THE NEW MINISTRY TO HAVE A
.. FAIR TRIAL?"

(Fria the Daily New.)

"If," said Mr. MILNER GIBSON, nt Manchester,
" this government were too frightened to re-enact the'
corn law., they would invent some other scheme to
enable the landed interest to put something into
their pockets at the expense of the manufueturing
and commercial interests, arid the great body of the
industrial dames of the country."
To be sure they will; and the danger is that in
the attempt they will be supported and backed
by the Times—unsound, be it remembered, on sugar
if sound on corn—and by all the silly people who to
quire a "fair trial" for Lord Denny. There is,
therefore, no real security for the food of the people
but in an immediate decision, by means of one of Mr,
COBDEN'S " three courses ", on the free-trade question.
Like the monkeys of old in Exeter Change, thq
will eat out of other people's pans; they won't tontine
themselves to their own pantries; if they cant
fleece us in meal, they will try to defraud us is malt.
" A fair trial!" We might just as well hr asked
to give a French army on the crust of Kent a
"fair trial," as a protectionist army on the trta,
sury benches of parliament a "fair trial." In the
ono case the weakness would quickly cud is
London being sacked; in the other, in osr
bread being taxed, or in our pockets being picked is
some other less audacious matinee. The country
can afford no such sentimental trifling with its
best interests. "'fake care you keep what you have
got," said Sir ItOBEnT PEEL to Mr. It vt.EY. Ilea
can we keep it by tolerating its deadliest enemies in
power ?
Our Downing-street monkies will soon have
their fingers in the people's pans, if they are
not routed out of their present position. Wily,
there is the CJIANGELLort of tie Exceri:4l.l.l: with a
plan, ready cut and dry, for relieving land of two
millions of local taxation at a blow ; and of 1.4.-ing
the burthcn on:our shoulders. Are we to give hint
"fair trial" in that? If we do, on he will go until he
has shifted the whole twelve millions of local rates na
to our backs. And what would that be but
protection in another shape? But putting something
into the liudlorda' pockets at our expense ? Mr.
MILNER GIBSON is quite right. Bad as they are
with protection for their policy ; they will be almost
as bad, perhaps a great deal more dangerous, with-
out it.

" Mr. I)ISRAF.I.I and Local Taxation" is, therefore,
a cry to be watched and guarded against quite as much
as " Lord; DERBY and Protection to Domestic In-
dustry!" And with a "fair trial" the former is the
dodge that will first be resorted to. Let us, then, try
and gain a clear notion about these local burthens
which the landed interest say bear so heavily upon
them. Their amount is, as we have already said,
nearly twelve millions sterling a year, made up thus:
England 18,860,000
Scotland 6$U,OOO
Ireland

Total _ _
£11000,740,

This enormous sum is not, however, paid out of land
exclusively ; but out of real property generally. And
tho truth is (as Mr. CORNEWALL LEN is has demon.
strated) that the proportion which land, that is,
agricultural land,—bears to other realty—that is to
houses, canals, mines, iron-works, gas-works, niauu.
factories, railways, &c.—has been continually dimi-
Malting since 1800. In that year land represented
29,834,4841. out of 44,434,7111., or neatly three-
fourths. But in the year 1850 it was 47,915,5211.
out of 105,024,7221., or leas than one-half. So that
during all the period when landowners had a
monopoly of bread, the growth of industry and com-
merce was really diminishing the local burthens on
land ; which are now said to be too heavy to be borne.
Nor is this remarkable general fact all that ran be
said as to the proportion in which agricultural and
other land is assessed to the local rates. Concurrently
with free imports, those rates themselves have fallen in
amount. The year before we had free trade in grain
the county and police rates were 839,6401.; in 1850
they had fallen to 7186,4751. And comparing
the year 1851 with 1850, there has been a
reduction of not less than 8 per cent. on the poor's
rates. While, as compared with the expenditure
the year previously to the New Poor Law coining into
operation, there was last year a reduction of 3s. 34.
a head, or a total reduction in 1851 of the enormous
sum of 2,915,8461. And of that great amount, agri-
cultural land had the benefit of more than one-half.
In one item only there has of late years been any
increase : it is in highway rates. They have risen
since 1845, 300,00(11.; and the probability is that
the increased expenditure has chiefly been for streets,
not roads; but let that pass. /or their highway
expenditure landowners have full value. By im-
proved roads they get to better markets and higher
prices; they diminish the expense of transport; eco-
nomise labour; and reduce the cost of production.
So that increased outlay on roads improves, instead
of diminishing, the value of their property. It is to
be placed in the same category as expenditure on
drainage, manure, and irrigation.

And during this time, when other property has
been contributing a larger and larger proportion than
land to local rates, and when the rates themselves
have been diminishing in amount, the executive
government has taken on itself many expenses
formerly borne by realty exclusively. In 1830, out
of a total county-rate expenditure of 1,400,000/., the
sum of 257,0001. was defrayed by allowances from
the Treasury in aid of the expenses of prosecutions
and prisoners ; in Ireland, the whole burthen of the
police force is now a national one; and besides, the
State has, in reference to agricultural land, become
loan-monger, and has advanced on easy terms millions
to landowners for drainage warica, and has thereby
enabled them to increase the value of their estates,
and reduce the weight of local rates on them.

When the protectionists propose—as they arc sure
to do immediately—to cat again out of our pan,
let us remember these facts, and insist upon their con-
fining their appetites to their own well-stored
larders.

ALLOWANCE OP COSTS TO ATTORNETa TN COVNTE
Counia.—A clause has been printed b; order of the Iloilo
of Lords to be added to the County Court* Further Eaten-
Bion Bill to prevent attorneys from being allowed costs be-
yond the amount ordered by the courts. It will be recol-
lected that Lord Lyndhurst instanced a case in which an
attorney had recovered from a client his costs beyond the
sum allowed by the courts. It is provided by the bill that
the Lord Chancellor shall appoint ftve judges of the county
courts to frame a scale of costs and charges to be paid to
attorneys in the county courts, to be allowed as between
attorneys and clients, and as between party and party,
which scale is to be submitted by the Lord Chancellor to
three or more of the judges of the superior courts. The
scale is to be laid before parliament. It is declared "that
no attorney employed by the plaintiff or defendant shall
have any right to recover at law from the party by whom
he is so employed, any costs or charges beyond the costs
and charges en allowed."

BUSINESS IN THE COURT OF CIIANCERY.—The
House of Lords has just ordered a return to be printed,
showing the business disposed of in the Court of Chancel.
On the 2nd Nov., 1860, there were in appeals, demurrers,
claims, and other things, 735 matters standing for hearing,
from which day to the Ist Nor, last there were 8,274 matters
uisposed of by the several courts, consisting of 2,879 appral
motions and special motions; 3,626 petitions; 1,216 cau‘es,
exceptions, and further directions, Pleas, demurrers, and
objections; 13 appeals and re-hearings, and 641 claim.;
total, 8,274. The Lord Chancellor disposed of 110 mat-
ters; the Muter of the Rolle, 1,107; Vice Chancellor

DISCOVERY OF THE BALLYPORT OF WINDsOR
Casvms.—Extensive improvements have for several months
past been in active operation at Windsor Ca.tle, under the
direction of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and
Forests. The workmen engaged in levelling the tsroand
between the Garter Tower and the Old Belfry Tower,
known as Julius Caesar's Tower, discovered, at about six
feet below the surface, a subterranean passage cut through
the chalk rock on which the castle is built. The filth and
rubbish is now being got out, and many cart loads have
already been taken away. The passage is six feet wide and
ten feet high. The side. are built of sound masonry, and
it is arched over with massive stonework. At present it
I has been traced to one of the minor canon's houses in the
horseshoe cloisters adjoining Julius Ciesar's Tower, where
the entrance is bricked up; trees this part there is a gra-
dual descent into Thames-street, from thence it appears to
pass under the houses in the direction of the river Thames,
but this end has not yet been explored ; hundreds of per-
sons have already descended into the passage, sail it is con-
jectured that this is the ancient salleport from the castle,
made as a means of escape in case ofsiege or invasion, and
that it passes under the river to Burnham Althey, which is
about three miles distant, where there is a corresponding
passage proceeding in a direct line to Windsor. It is to be
hoped that the Dean and Canons of Windsor, or the Com-
missioners of Woods and Forests will continue the explora-
tion of this extraordinary passage, which has crested
so much interest among the curious who base already
visited it.
