THE PRESENT AGE. _

The paper by Dr. Channiug, to which we yesterday
referred, was delivered before the Mercantile Libra-
Company at Philadelphia., on. May 11, 184 f, It is on-.
titled " The Present Age.;. an .Address," &c., and its chi,E'
purport is to point out the universal diffusion of know_

been republished at Glasgow; •by Hedderwick and Son,
and is well worthy of being added to our literature. It
is pregnant with that bright faith in the destiny of man,
those noble hopes of his improvement, and that bound-
less confidence in nature, which have ever distinguished
the wisest philosophers, and which well become the
aspirant of immortality, and the being of an hour. We
purpose to make copious etracts from this pamphlet,' as
we cannot lay before our readers any more welcome
truths than those enunciated' by Dr. Charming, clothed".

PARLIAMENTARY.

Lord John Russell has forwarded from Scotland
an Address to the Electors of London, in which he
points out the policy to be pursued by his party in the
new House of Commons. He thanks the electors for
their suffrages, and states that he would have done this
at an earlier period, but he Was desirous first to know
the result of the elections. That being against
him, he states that the retirement of his party from of-
fice will immediately follow the condemnation of their
policy, and that they would consider it inconsistent with
their duty to harrass the Government of the day by
vexatious opposition. They are resolved, however. to
adhere firmly to the principles which led to their defeat,
and confidently look forward to ultimate success.

debt :

PROJECT OF LAW PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
" Art. 1. The Government is authorised to take an antici-
pation of 60 millions of reals at six per cent. annual interest,
and to centralise at a moderate interest for the advantage of
those interested the credits of contractors who have advanced
funds to the Government, applying the produce of the salt and
fruit duties to the paying off this anticipation and those which
have preceded it.
" Art. 2. In cases where the contract shall not have been
passed, with the interested parties mentioned in the foregoing
article the Government is authorised to negotiate it with
those persons who offer the best guarantees and advantages to
the interest of the state. A full account shall be rendered to
the next legislature of this affair."

ANOTHER PROJECT.

which shall become so on the Ist January.
" Art. 2. The said receipts shall continue to be received for
their integral value for the ordinary contributions, up to the

butions of 180,000,000.

"Art. 3. They shall be received in payment in the same

HUMOURS Or THE DAY.

We believe, with satisfaction, that Mr. Macaulay
as he is yet to have one opportunity more as a Minister,
of defending the Government policy, has taken to study
the questions of the day ; so that he may not be again
under the painful necessity of reading Lord Palmerston's
speech to explain their bearings to his constituents.
Being well aware of the great talents of the
Honourable Gentleman, we are sure that if he
devote half as much time to that as he must
have done to Pere Cyran and La Mere Angelique he
will yet do the good cause which has thrust him into
power and opulence, and to which he owes some alle-
giance, great service. We are not even without
hope, if he turn his attention to the matter, that he may
find in our suffering hand-loom weaver population as fit=
themes for his eloquence, and as bright examples of
cheerful submission to an over-ruling destiny, as in the
attenuated advocates and worn-out soldiers, running
from the world from disappointment or superstition,
whom he has dignified and ennobled. Should
he set before the world the suffering and patience of our
population with the same mastery of diction as he has
described the resignation of the recluses of Port Royal,
he will go far to achieve a victory for humanity and
freedom, and inspire the world with respect for talents
which have latterly been wasted on a very indifferent
theme.

A split among the Tories has already manifested
itself respecting the Speakership. The more rational of
the party propose Mr. Shaw Lefevre, and the other Sir
Eardley Wilmot. Indeed the very idea of electing a
Liberal was never for an instant thought of by the
Orangemen. Everything must be carried by a high hand,
and if Sir Robert become restive they will choose another
leader.

The quantity of rain that has fallen since Sa-
turday night has done a great deal of mischief to the
hay that is yet out, and there is a great deal more than
usual at this time ; but much more has been stacked in
this county than was grown last year, and the second
crop of clover promises to be abundant. There is very
little wheat beat down by the heavy rains ; and we hope
and believe that crop, generally speaking, is not forward
enough to be at all affected by them. The barley in
some places is very much laid, and though the oats in
many-situations are short, they have very much improved,
during the last fortnight.—Brighton Gazette.

HANOVER.

The Gazette contains a proclamation of King Ernest, con-
taining au expose of the motives which determined his Majesty
to cissolve the Chamber of,the States. The King establishes
by a series of reasoning that the Constitution voted and pro-
mulgated in 1840 is quite legal and will be maintained. The
Chamber will be speedily convoked.

GUY FAWKES.— Mr. A insworth's historical
romance on this stirring subject will be completed, and laid be-
fore the pul lie in a few days. A finer theme was never selected'
by a novelist than the desperate plot of Fawkes and his brother
conspirators; nor any involving a display of more numerous and
more famous historical personages. Such, among many others,
are the notorious incendiary himself ; father Garnet, the Jesuit
Priest ; the stern and resolute Catcsby ; the treacherous ac-
complice Tresham ; Dee and Kelly, the magicians; the Earl of
Salisbury ; Lord Itlounteagle ; James the First, &C. All these
the celebrated author has animated with the rare power of his
genius, so that, they once more live and move in pages which
" the world will not willingly let die."

DIFFUSION OF SCIENCE.

" Where is Science now ? Locked up in a few Col-
leges, or Royal societies, or inaccessible volumes ? Are
its experiments mystorioaa"--fvvr a few privileged eyes ?
Arc its portals guarded by a dark phraseology, which, t 4)
the multitude, is a foreign tongue ? No ; Science has
now left her retreats, her shades, her selected company
of votaries, and, with familiar tone, begun the work of
instructing the race. Through the press, discoveries
and theinles, once the monopoly of philo.onhf.rs, have

AI% • , •:
is no longer listened to as a dream. Science, -once) the
greatest of distinctions, is becOming popul4r. A -lady'
gives us conversations on chemistry, revealing,,to-tlus
minds of our youth vast laws of the universe, which, s#:l
years ago, had not dawned on the greatest minds. 1 The
school-books of our children contain grand views of the
creation. There are parts of our country, in which Ly-
ceums spring up in almost every village, for the purpose
of mutual aid in the study of natural science. The cha-
racteristic of our age, then, is not .the improvement of
science, rapid as .this is; so much as its extension to
all men.

" But one of the distinctions of our lime is, that
science has passed from speculation into life. Indeed, it
is not pursued enough for its intellectual and contem-
plative uses. It is sought as a mighty power, by which
nature is not only to be opened to thought, hut to iNti
subjected to our needs. It is conferring on us that domi-
nion over earth, sea, and air, which was prophesied in
the first command given to man by his Maker ; and tfris
dominion is now employed, not to exalt a few, but to mul-
tiply the comforts and ornaments of life for the multi-
tude of men. Science has become an inexhaustible me-
chanician ; and by her forges, and mills, and steam cars,
and printer's presses, is bestowing on millions, not only
contorts, but luxuries which were once the distinction
of a few.
" Above all, Science investigates the laws of roviai
progress, of arts, and institutions of government, and po-
litical economy, proposing, as its great end, the allevia
tion of all human burthens; the weal of all the members
of the human race. In truth, nothing is more clittracto-
- of our age, than the vast range of inquiry wlOch
is opening more and more' to the multitude of num.
Thought frees the old bounds to which men used to con,
fine themselves. It holds nothing too sacred for investi-
gation. It calls the pestle account ; and treats hoary
opinions as if they wore k yesterday's growth. No
reverence drives it back;—no` great name terrifies it.
The foundations of what seems musst settled must by ex-
plored. Undoubtedly this is a perilo,:s tendency. Men
forget the limits of their powers. They ~•Ltestion the in
finite, the unsearchable, with an audacious
They shock pious and revering, minds, andZni~ilnto an
extravagance of doubt, more unphilosophienl and .r""lish
than the weakest credulity. Still, in this dange.'"us
wildness, we see what lam stating,—the tendency P 3
expansion in the movements of thought."

ANOTH Eli PROJECT.

" As the' law of lith April, 1833, has authorised the Go-
vernment to capitalise the interest of the foreign loan, the law
of the 21st June, 1840, has extended the authorisation to capi-
talise the interest of the home consolidated debt."

In addition to the above the following measures were brought
forward by the Minister of Finance :
« To modify the tariffs now in farce, and to put others in
execution on the following bases :—lst. To preserve or modify
the laws on national productions.-2d. To arrange the duties
in such a manner• that they shall only fall on the articles con.
sumed in capitals or principal seaports.-3d. To lower those
which are consumed by the poorer classes.-41h. To effect a
reduction on the entrance duties into cities and principal towns.
—sth. To reduce the half of the duties on oil, wine, and other
articles of consumption.
" In the number of financial measures are the following :
" 1. To obtain an anticipation of 6,000,000 of reals at 6 per
oent. interest, to enable the-Treasury to discharge 'its most
pressing demands. 2. To effect the liquidation of the floating
debt, so that its exact amount may be ascertained. 3. To ad-
joura to a determinate number of years the total liquidation of
the old debt and the new debt of 60,000,000. 4. To leave
free and unembarrassed the ordinary contributions, in order to
be able to dispose of the sum they produce as necessary for the
public Si rvice. 5. To facilitate the recovery of the old extra-
ordinary war contribution. 6. To constitute a deposit in the
Spanish Bank of San Fernando. the portion not constituted of
the 700,000,000 of guarantees given up to this day to the con-
tractors, to which the Treasu,ry will apply them, in order that
the payments may take place. 7. To put in deposit also all the
coupons and drafts which the Treasury may receive from con-
tracts in course of execution. 8. To moralise the administra-
tion of the finances in general, and render impossible all mis-
application of the public funds."

The hawking at Loo, according to a letter
from that place, was closed on the 10th inst. by Mr: Charles
S. Wortley, as senior member of the society. The herons
taken during the season amounted to 227. The last days
were extremely favourable for the sport. The concluding
flight was peculiarly fine. The falcons marked their game at
such an elevation as to be nearly invisible to the sportsmen and

suers, descended and fell unharmed amidst the company.
Being exhausted by terror and fatigue, it was easily secured
and marked with the ring No. 121, and when recovered set at
liberty again from the hand of Lady Stuart Wortley. .Two
falconers immediately afterwards set out for Norway, to catch
fresh hawks for next season.

DIFFUSION OF THE FINE ARTS.

" In the fine arts we see, too, the tendency to univer-
sality. It is said, that the spirit of the great artists has
died out ; but the taste for their works is spreading.
By the improvements of engraving, and the invention
of casts, the genius of the great masters is going
abroad. Their conceptions are no longer pent up in
galleries open to but few, but meet us in our homes, and
are the household pleasures of millions. Works, de-
signed for the halls and eyes of Emperors, Popes, and
Nobles, find their way, in no poor representations, into
humble dwellings, and sometimes give a consciousness
of kindred powers to the child of poverty. The art of
drawing, which lies at the foundation of most of the
fine arts, and is the best education of the eye for nature,
is becoming a branch of common education, and in some
countries is taught in schools to which all classes are
admitted."

After adverting to the attempts now making to diffuse
education universally, ])r. Channing makes the follow-
ing remarks, which are probably as applicable to Eng-
land as to the United State, on the

DIFFUSION OF ORATORY.
" If we may trust•our newspapers, we are a nation of
orators. Every meeting overflows with eloquence. Men
of all conditions find a tongue for public debate. Un-
doubtedly, there is more sound than sense in our end-
less speeches before all kinds of assemblies and societies.
But no man, I think, can attend our public meetings
without being struck with the force and propriety of ex-
pression in multitudes, whose condition has confined
them to a very imperfect culture. This exercise of
the intellect, which has almost become a national cha-
racteristic, is not to be undervalued. Speech is not
merely the dress, as it is often called, but the very body
of thought. It is to the intellect what the muscles are
to the principle of physical life. The mind acts and
strengthens itself through words. It is a chaos till de-
fined, organised by language. The attempt to give
clear precise utterance to thought, is one of the most
effectual processes of mental discipline. It is, therefore,
no doubtful sign of the growing intelligence of a people,
when the power of expression is cultivated extensively
for the purpose of acting on multitudes."
We will quote only one passage of what Dr. Channing
says of religion, remarking that his observations can
scarcely apply to the State religion, which is only an-
other name for the monopoly of State endownments, and
is adverse to diffusion and universality :

nefit Societies, and Loan Banks.

drifted to the Norwegian coast. It is supposed that the ice in

RUMOURS Or THE DAY.

Isaac Lillicrap, the Englishman who was arrested
in France for importing a new infernal machine into France,
has been most kindly treated, nothing, in fact, could exceed
the attention which Lillicrap met with in the Concicrgerie.
As he could not speak French, the Judge of Instruc-
tion sent a young gentleman attached to the Attorney-
General's office, who is conversant with the English
language to chat with him. There may be
some good reason for this. Louis Philippe,
of course, wishes to make the forts proof
against domestic as well as foreign enemies, and Lillicrap
it appears, has furnished a plan for the purpose, in the
shape of a four-barrelled pistol, and the model of a fort,
in which the artillery is protected against the firing of
the besiegers.

ELECTIONEERING.

The military despotism, and obstruction exercised
at the Carlow election, will be obvious in the single in-
stance of Mr. Symes, which appears in another part of
The Sun.

Speaking of the Wexford election, the Dublin
Evening Post remarks :—" The fourth candidate, Mr. S.
C. Hall, occupies a strange position on the poll : he has
not obtained a single vote. He ought, we think, to vote
for himself, if it were only to displace the queer-looking
cypher. We hear that this second of the Tory candidates
is no other than the husband of the lady of that name
now engaged in writing ' Sketches in Ireland.' "
William Morgan, who fired upon the crowd while
they made a disturbance round his house at Waterford,
has refused to be bailed out. The children wounded are
doing well, and even the girl Mountain will, it is thought,
retain her sight.
At Waterford, the electors assembled in the Town-
hall on Friday, to make arrangements for petitioning
against the undue return of the two Members, and to re-

RE CHARLES SMYTH HENNINcITON.

The insolvent, who had been proprietOr of the Wheat-
sheaf Tavern, Holywell-street, Strand, applied to be
discharged under the Act, and was opposed by Mr.
Nicholls, on the part of Messrs. Tanqueray, the dis-
tillers. His liabilities were upwards of 1,2001. The
grounds of. opposition were undue preference of other
creditors to the exclusion of Messrs. Tanqueray. It
appeared that the opposing creditors had supplied
spirits to Hennington, for a part of which they had been
paid, and the insolvent failing in business (as is most ge-
nerally the case with insolvent publicans), the brewers
came in fbr the lion's share. After the sale of the pre-
mises a balance remained of 521., which was divided
among some of the creditors, of which dividend the
Messrs. Tanqueray received no notice.
'The COURT adjudged that the insolvent should be im-
prisoned for a term of four months, under the 72d 1 and
2 Victoria, entitled the Discretionary Act.
London, England, 1841-07-23

LAW AND POLICE.

The Leitrim county calendar has no more than six
cases for trial; and Baron Richards, addressing the Grand
Jury, congratulated the county on its lightness. Will
Tory and Orange domination permit it to remain so ?

In the Court of Bankruptcy on Wednesday, some
strange disclosures were made respecting the bankruptcy
of the Wakefields. The examination, it was expected,
would have been final, but at the request of the solicitors
for the assignees the inquiry was postponed to an early
day, when the Commissioners will have some questions
to put to the bankrupts.

Two journeymen braziers were committed to Bride-
well on Wednesday for three months by Sir C. Marshall,
for neglecting to fulfil a contract.

SPORTING.

Yachting has lately been on the wane in Ireland,
but the Members of the Club are now trying to get up a
