Altogether a very slack day, not, however, without
a few changes, of which a brief notice will suffice. They

THAMES CONSERVANCY BILL.
The public can scarcely be aware of the extraordinary
powers which the Corporation of London are seeking
under this Bill, now in Committee in the House of
Commons. They seek new taxing powers on the public
by imposing a toll on every steam• boat of one halfpenny
per ton per mile above bridge. They ask power to take
all lands over which the tidal waters flow, and if the
owner of adjoining property questions their right, to
put the Attorney-General in motion against him; and
by their Bill they will destroy all the securities granted
by Parliament on existing piers on the Thames.

NATIONAL EDUCATION IN
IRELAND.

The thirteenth report of the commissioners of
National Education in Ireland, for the year 1846, was
issued on Monday morning. It is addressi±d to the Earl
of Clarendon as Lord-Lieutenant, being thi: first import-
ant public document in which his Lordship's name has
yet appeared since his appointment. The commissioners
state that, at the close of the year 1846, the number of
schools in operation was 3,637, and the number of pupils
in attendance therein 456,410. The increase upon the
year 1845, was 511 schools, and 23,566 pupils. The
increase of pupils in 1845 over 1844, was 37,294, and
the commissioners attribute the diminished amount of
increase in 1846, as compared with that of the previous
year, to the prevailing distress having compelled parents
to obtain employment for their children upon the public
works. Grants had been promised toward a the building
of 335 additional schools, amounting to 11,501/. 17s. 6d.,
by which accommodation will be afforded for 31,461
additional pupils. During the year, 85 schools had
been struck off the roll, and fourteen suspended for
various causes, such as the houses being unsuitable,
want of local contributions, inability to procure sites,
transfers to other places, and other reasor is. The model
schools in Marlborough-street, Dublin, continue to be
numerously attended and efficiently conducted; the total
number on the rolls stated to be 1,368. In all the
schools, the arrangement for the separate religious in-
struction of the children of different persuasions, and of
the teachers in training, are described as being carried
on with punctuality and satisfaction. The salaries for
the year amount to 44,1771. 1 ls. 6d., thus, taking the
total number of teachers to be 4,000, the average
amount is only ill, to each, but the commissioners say
they ought to be augmented. The maximum at present
is 201., and the minimum 81. per annum—low enough,
certainly, for any degree of efficiency. The commis-
sioners also express a hope that the arrangement which
has recently received the sanction of Government for
giving retiring pensions to meritorious teachers in Eng-
land, will, as soon as possible, be extended to Ireland.
During the distress that lately afflicted the country
gratuities were awarded to the poorer teachers, in ad-
dition to their ordinary salaries ; and in this way,
3,000/. were expended by permission of the late Lor
Lieutenant. The yearly interest of Lord Morpeth's do-
nation of 1,0001., is in future to be awarded in gratuities
varying from 11. to 31., to szhoolniasters in each of the
34 districts, who are most distinguished by the order,
neatness, and cleanliness observable in themselves, their
scholars, and their school-houses. The demand for the
school-books of the commissioners is increasing greatly,
especially in Upper Canada, where a similar system of
national education has been recently established. In
connexion with the ordinary schools, there are 99 work-
' house schools, and five agricultural model schools ; and
it is intended to establish a school at the fishing station,
near Galway, the pupils of which are to be instructed in
navigation. Many other details are given in the report.
Appended to it are a statement of the year's accounts,
and a great number of tabular reports and returns, illus •
crating the state of education in every province, county,
and town in Ireland.

LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS.-00 Monday last the

great applause; as was the "health of his.Boyal Highness
Prince Albert and the rest of the R,oyal Fatnily." The next
toast from the chair was " Prosperity to the Order of

that the order consisted of above 12,000 members,

KING'S COLLEGE.
Met; I RIBUTION OF PIUZE6. ,
The distribution of prizes among those students who
had distinguished themselves at tte recent examination
in Kim's College took place on Wednesday afternoon in
the theatre of the ins'itution, Lefore a numerous and
highly respectable auditory.
The A: chbis‘,op ;0 Ca tit-rhery presi:led, aid near hi
we ~b,e, e. el ; i. It sy ,I Iliglthess t,l(, Link, of C.:interi,ese,
lee Arebbtsh,efe of D,,blin, the Bishop of Lichfield, ttie i
Bishop of Oxford, L "I'd Rlelstock, and a considerable
number of clergy er.en of the Established Church.
The Rev. Dr. ,I ELF, the Print! pal of the College,
opened the proceedings by offering, iu the name of him-
self and his colleagues, their grateful acknowledgments
to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who bad,
on such occasions as the present, appeared now fur the .
fourth time within those walls, and at very consider-
able . inconvenience to himself. (Cheers.) He
could assure his Royal Highness that the words of en-
couragetnent and warning which on each occasion
hz had condescended to offer to the students had
not been without their fruit ; indeed no one could
li- ten to those words without emotion and benefit.
He would venture to observe that on an occasion like
this there was considerable danger lest, in attempting to
give an estimate of the prosperity of the college, he
should fall unwillingly into exaggeration. With such
a brilliant assembly as this, presided over by his Grace
the Primate of all England and Visitor of this college
(and long might he continue to rule the Church, and
to visit this college in the same spirit in which he had
for so many years done), and in the presence of the
illustrious Prince, and of so many noble persons, and
more particularly in the presence of that distinguished
Prelate, whom it was his (Dr. Jelf's) honour to
succeed, and whose principles it was his endeavour to
bellow, whose memory lived, and would live, not only
within those walls, but in the hearts of many grateful
generations. and whose name within those walls would
never be received without the strongest feeling of grati-
tude—under such circumstances, it was almost a natural
thing that those called upon to express their approba-
tion of the student's conduct should be led unconsciously
into what was something very like high flown panegyric.
There was also a co-responding danger on the part of
those that received that approbation, that they might
be led to think more highly of themselves,
of their attainments, and even of their in
dustry, than they ought to think. Both par- ,II
ties ought to bear this constantly in mind, and en-
deavour
to keep as far as possible within the bounds
of moderation.—(Loud cheers.) He should be
doing injustice to himself and the students if he did not
express his approbation of their conduct during the last
year.—(Cheers.) In many respects that year was full
of gratifying recollections. Exceptions to good conduct
perhaps there might have been, but either accounts of
them had never reached him, or they were so slight
that they passed away entirely from his recollection.--•
(Cheers.) From his colleagues and his friends they
would hear a detail of what had been done in the
two departments of general literature and science,
and the applied sciences. Ho would content himself
with a general statement. He must make his acknow'
ledgments to the students of each department for their
study of divinity, which was the great basis of our pro'
sperity, and he trusted that on this basis they might
look forward to many years of increasing prosperity.
The total number of students exceeded a thousand ; but
his hope for the future did not rest on an increase of
numbers, but was based on the conviction that there was
every depart of the college a true spirit of relicrion•
without which all science and all knowledge
were in vain—without which, the classical scholar,
with all his knowledge of literature ; the phi'
losopher, with all his scientific acquirements ;
the engineer, with his practical application of
the principles of science ; the physician, with all his
is
skill ; and what was still more, that highest of all de-
partments, the divine, with all his knowledge of cow
troversial theology, were all as " the sounding braes ~
and the tinkling cymbal."—(Cheers.) Having observed ,
that the opportunities afforded in King's College for ',
studying literature, medicine, jurisprudence, philo4,
sophy, and theology, was equal to that of any 0;
the ancient colleges in the world, the Reverent' 1,,,
Gentleman eulogised the industry, talent, and humble'
mindedness of the divinity students to whom ne 'i
prizes were awarded, as it would be out of place !,'
to incite them to such motives. As distinctions ,z
were, however, desirable, he thought it essential to the ;
welfare of the college, that as regards divinity students
there should be such a foundation as would correspond
to the system of our ancient colleges, and it would be
soon in his power to lay before his Grace some plan for
effecting that object. It was also in contemplation t°
establish within the college a residence for the various
classes of students, in order that they might not 0011
have the advantage of instruction, but also of college
discipline, college enjoyment, college comforts, privt:
leges, and associations. When that was accomplished,
he should then think the college was approaching the
fulfilment of that destiny which he trusted God's prod.
deuce would ultimately bring to pass.— (Cheers.) Th,.
Rev. Gentleman concluded by presenting his Grace wit:
a list of the gentlemen who had obtained prizes. 0-
announcement of their names was followed by loud elr
plause.
The following gentlemen were then severally intl.?'
duced to the Most Rev. Prelate by the Professors in their
respective departments, and received prizes from the
bands of his Grace:—

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.--Wednesday a
of this railway, about nine miles in length, and exteS 0
ing from Minster to Deal, was opened by the Chair Oft,
and Directors of the company with the usual cereoi4.
vies. The stations along the new line were handsorse;',l
decorated. The whole population of the neighboarbo
assembled to celebrate the event ; huge flags were see;
fluttering in every direction ; shops were shut and bull,
ness suspended ; and, in fact, it was a complete holidsi.
At half-past four o'clock a public dinner took place,"
the Town-hall of Deal, every corner of which was oe
pied. In the absence of the Mayor, who was prevent!,
by illness from being present, his deputy filled the chill"
and was supported by Mr. M‘Gregor, chairman of th.
company, Lord Clinton, Mr. B. Harding, Captain Tilldal, Mr. Maclise, R.A.,, Mr. C. Dickens, Mr. J. Stuart'"
Mr. Herbert, secreta-..y to the company, Mr. C. Eras ti
eon, the Honourable S. Lushington, Mr. Browne, se
Mr. Walter, superintendent of the company. An ~,
cellent dinner was provided on the occasion RI,
the landlord of the Royal Hotel, and the corapan/
having done: ample justice thereto, proceeded by a stle:(
cession of appropriate toasts to celebrate the event ",,,f
the day.. Many speeches were made in the course
the evening upon the benefits likely to accrue to Desri
from railway communication, and all present appea
sanguine in their expectation that their ancient port
awakening to a new existence. Mr. MiGregor, to Pi,
knowledging the kind manner in which he and his con
leagues had been received, shortly reviewed the positi?.,
in which the company now stands with respect to 11
projects before Parliament and the question of dire%
communication in Kent. His observations drew fort;
the warmest approbation. It was past eight o'clof,
before the directors and their friends left Deal v. 7,
special train on their way back to London, but their to
parture did not close the festivities of the evening. Va
rapidity and ease with which the new line was passe,
over, both going, and corning, furnished satisfactory
evidences of the, solidity with which it has been 01'
strutted.
