from Dublin, " there can be no
mistake as regards ono of the subjects debated. War to
the knife has been declared against the National
Schools ; and thus a perfect unanimity of sentiment must
henceforward subsist. between Dr. Cullen and the Pro-
testant advocates of scriptural education, as opposed to.
the present system." We question, however, the "perfect
unanimity of sentiment" here supposed. No doubt the
Romish Prelates protest against any such " godless "
system of education as that which is so popular in
certain quarters ; but their religious instruction must of

says a letter

necessity be very different from that of our

advocates of scriptural education

THE LATE MR. RYLEY.—The tidings of the awfully
sudden death of this lamented gentleman produced a
melancholy feeling on 'Change yesterday. He was
there on Saturday, apparently in his usual health, and
had returned home in the afternoon to his residence in
Edge-lane. In the course of the evening, whilst read-
ing to his family, the book suddenly fell from his hands,
his head sank on his breast, and he expired almost in a
moment. Mr. Ryley was a most devoted Liberal in
politics, whilst in religion he belonged to the Society of
Friends. He enjoyed the respect of all parties, by
whom he was justly esteemed as an honest, upright,
and amiable man. He had occupied, since November
1857, a seat in the Town Council for Castle-street
Ward, where his services to his party were considered
to be valuable. He has descended to the grave univer-
sally regretted.

THE RIGHT HON. JOSEPH NAPIER., LATE LORD
CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND.-(From a Correspondent.)
—This eminent lawyer, distinguished statesman, and
learned judge, will shortly leave his marine residence
in the South of Ireland for the Western Highlands, for
the purpose of attending the meeting of the British
Association, in the ancient city of Aberdeen, of which
his lordship is a member. After the proceedings of the
association are over in Aberdeen, his lordship will leave
for Bradford, in Yorkshire, to be present at the meeting
of the Social Science Association, of which he is presi-
dent of the department of kaisprudence. It will be in
the recollection of your readers, that last year, when
the Social Science Association hbld its meeting in
Liverpool, he being then Lord Chancellor of Ireland,
and keeper of her Majesty's conscience, the learned
judge could not then avail himself of an opportunity of
delivering his annual address on jurisprudence, which
was the cause of much disappointment to the distin-
guished assemblage, and especially to Lord Brougham,
who is a warm admirer of the ex-chancellor, on account
not only of his great forensic abilities, but his dignified
and high-toned Christian feelings. The address of the
Chancellor was sent, and read ; and it will be remem-
bered, by Lord Sohn Russell, president of the asso-
ciation, amid the applause of all present. We con-
gratuate the town of Bradford upon the selec-
tion which has been made by the association of it,
wherein to hold their meetings this year. Men of the
greatest eminence will assemble there, such as Lords
Brougham, Shaftesbury, Right Hon. J. Napier, &e.,
&e. We understand that the ex-lord chancellor will
return from Bradford, via Liverpool, to his residence,
Aferrion-square, Dublin ; and that he will spend some
days with his friend, the Rev. Dr. Mgeile, before he
returns home.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN AUSTRIA

VIENNA, Monday

The Ministerial crisis is not yet over. It is
said that a combination, with Count Leo Thun
at the head, has met with so many difficulties
that its success is very doubtful. Count Clam
Martinitz refused to accept the portfolio of public
instruction, and in regard to his acceptance of.
the Ministry of the Interior, he put combinations
which were rejected; he has therefore returned
to his post of Governor of Cracow. Count
Golochouski, chief of the Lemberg Government
district, has been summoned hither to join the
Imperial Commission. Well-informed persons

assert that the Constitution, which the Coir

nission is abou

be characterise(

by the principal of decentralisation, by the re-

establishment of the representation of the pro-

winces by perogatives given to the aristocracy of
all the provinces; and, lastly, by a strict Catholic

given to the principal chiefs of the army, last evening,
the Emperor spoke the following words :

this morning contains the following

Gentlemen,—The joy which I feel in finding myself
again with the principal chiefs of the army of Italy
would be complete, if regret were not mingled at
being about to separate soon a force so well organised
and so formidable. As Sovereign and as General-in-

Chief I thank you for your confidence in me who had
not commanded an army. A portion of the soldiers
is about to return to their homes. You yourselves are
likewise going to assume your peaceful occupations. Do
not forget what we have accomplished together, in
order that the remembrances of the obstacle we have
overcome, and the dangers we have avoided, may often

recur to our memory.
The speech concluded by announcing the creation of
the Medal of Italy.

A local journal states that Lillo is to be made the head-
quarters of a grand military command, with a marshal
of France at its head. It is thought that the projected
fortifications of Antwerp have something to do with this
measure.
