in the privacy of the laboratory, to be tested by in-
numerable experiments, to he germinated under the
fructifying influence of contemplation, and to be
matured by assiduous inquiry. Had BACON 1-,03-
sesed the advantages of an intercourse with GALILEO
the former—that high priest of modern philosophy—
might not merely have discarded all his fallacious ob-
jections to the Heliocentric system, but might have
opened new fields for investigation beyond those first
traversed by the intellect of COPERNICUS, and subse-
quently by the mind and the eyes of the Tuscan astrono-
mer. Had the vast intelligences of NEWTON and of LEIB..
NITZ been brought into continual correspondence with
each other, the mysteries of the Differential Calculus
might have been earlier disclosed, and one of the most
lamentable strifes recorded in the history of science
have been altogether avoided. Had such an associa-
tion teen instituted, for example, at such a remote
period as the establishment of the Lyncean Society
—had the greatest scientific geniuses of Europe
been thereby brought into annual communing,
knowledge would unquestionably have extended far
beyond the glorious dimensions it has even now at-
tained. Agriculture w iuld have been still more bene
fited by mechanics in implements, by hydraulics in
drainage and irrigation, and by chemistry in the
treatment of vegetation and the selection of manures.
We might extend these very rational conjectures
throughout the whole complication of human in-
dustry, throughout manufactures, throughout naval
architecture, throughout the entire range of domestic
economy and international enterprise.
It is wise, however, to restrict our attention to the
may.be's of the future instead of regarding the might

have-been's of the past. Already the British Assoe

ation can ,enumerate its succe,.ses ; it can rejoice
over the good it has already accomplished, and can
without vainglory revert to its different achievements,
and especially to the achievements of its individual
members and its corresponding associates. Such a re-
trospect was the discourse uttered at Southampton
by its President, Sir RODERICK Muncntsox. The
wandering and vagrant character of the asso-
ciation has been objected to, but in reality
it constitutes not its least advantage. By
holding their meetings in the different quarters
of a country, philosophers not only extend their own
knowledge of nature, but excite a wholesome rever-

ence for science in the minds of thousands who
might otherwise have continued unconscious of i's
dignity. A spirit of noble emulation is, morever,
in spired into the hearts of our sages by such an in-

terconrse, and beyond this, the multitude is
inspired with a more ennobling love for the material
glories of nature, and a more intense veneration for
those spiritual glories which are evidenced in the
functions and the organisation of matter.

These are the considerations experienced by us as
Englishmen, and as denizens of this island ; but
looking at the question in a cosmopolitan
light, our opinion of the advantages likely

to result from such a periodical accumulation
of intellect is only confirmed. 4‘ The great bridge
has been built," said Sir Jonx HERSCIIEL," there
is no longer a great gulf between Great Britain and
the continent. The mind of man rises superior to
the physics of matter. It has bridged over the great

gulf." There is something Oriental in the simplicity of
these words, and there is something peculiarly beautiful
in their truthfulne=s. It is by such associations as these,
by bringing the most eminent as well as the most

obscure mernbErs of separate nations together, and by
promoting amity between them through such an

elevating medium as that of science, that all the in
vid,ous distinctions of race are obliterated.

and men are ultimately brought to regard'

--
each other not as rivals, but as brethren

Mr. COBDEN has already predicated the eternal peace

of nations from the establishment of a freedom in

commerce. That peace will be expedited by such

associations as the present. Mutual respect and
affection will be instilled into the representatives of
the intellect of the different kingdoms of the earth by

an intercourse thus sanctified by nature and philosophy

We offered a few remarks on Monday last relative
to the inspiriting intelligence which was brought by
the Indian mail, concerning promotion from the ranks
in the army. We would not then detract from the
feelings of delight that flowed from the concession of
so important a principle—one so entirely in conso-
nance with the best dictates of our nature—by taking
any exception to the limits prescribed by the docu-
ment of the East India Directors, of 22d April la 4,
and within which the elevation of the non-commis-
sioned officer to the rank of ensign must he confined.
In juitice, however, to the gravity of the question,
and to all who have enlisted themselves to become
the appointed defenders of our country, we now re-
vert to the subject, to suggest that, although the
soldier has received by the late proceedings in India
(where six sergeant-majors were raised to the dignity
of officers) a considerable instalment of what is justly
his due, it still falls far short of what he is entitled to
expect, as well from what sound policy would dictate
as from a proper regard to his natural rights.
It is remarkable how continued injustice is frequently
perpetrated from the timorous nature of the minds of
the greater portion cf public men .Where even a principle
is clear, and common sense and good feeling alike re-
commend it, yet if its adoption involve a deviation
from the old beaten track of their government, men,
charged with authority seem instinctively to dread
the responsibility of doing even a good action, mani-
festly commendable though it be in whatever light it
may he viewed. Thus the East India Company have
sanctioned the principle that every private in their
service may henceforth look to gain the epaulette,
but only when he shall have eminently distinguished
himself in action with the enemy. This is a narrow-
minded regulation. In point of policy, it is miserable.
In periods of peace, a mere ignis fatuus. Unless the
hope of promotion to the superior dignities of his
gallant profession be extended to the soldier in the
subordinate ranks, when we are blessed with peace as
well as when we are engaged in the conflict of arms,
his aspirations on entering the service necessarily
become limited indeed. Besides, the point, at which
the authorities of Leadenhall-street consider the
brightest hopes of their soldiers should be checked, is
quite at variance with the spirit in which
the continental armies are administered. Through-
out their military manuals there shines a steady, even,
light, which animates the raw but deserving, recruit,

at every step of his career, till be reaches the pinnacle
of distinction. The stinted manner in which the
East India Directors have feebly attempted to follow
in the ennobling wake of rival military powers,
savours of tantalising cruelty. They merely brandish
a dazzling light before the eyes of their patriotic de-

fenders, and immediately reduce it to a focus which
involves in desolating obscurity every honourable
emotion of the mind. Nothing shows more distinctly
the unfairness and short-sighted impolicy of the con-

dition the directors have attached to promotion from
the ranks than their own document, already alluded
to. It is there stated, that, inasmuch as the ages of
the sergeant-majors, whom they had appointed ensigns
were too far advanced to enter the regular service,
according to their rules, irregular employment must

be found for them. Thus, after a man, by dint o

extraordinary prowess, has succeeded in entering the
sanctuary of distinction, he finds himself simultane-

ously diverted from the straight line which he would
have eagerly pursued, to the mutual honour and
glory of himself and his country.
It is a trite and true saying, that the best
way to preserve peace is to be always in
the best state of preparation for war. It

would seem to follow from this, that, if any difference
is to be made touching the peculiar recognition of the

merits of the soldier, between his service in peace and
his service in war, expediency would indicate the
desirableness of stimulating him by honourable re-
wards during the farmer rather than the latter period.
The better your description of men, the higher your
state of discipline—both of which would be best

secured by attending to the legitimate impulses of the

human mind—the less will the enemy be likely to

come to the encounter; but come the encounter

when it might, the British soldier, grateful for the

considerate manner in which he had been endeared to
his chivalrous calling, would then be seen in his

towering strength, and, with " the memory of the
heart," grappling with his foes to the perfect vindi-
cation of the cause for which his SOVEREIGN had

summoned him to the field.

It is to education generally throughout the army,
upon a well-organibed system that we must chiefly
look for the reformation needed in the British

service. In Prussia the officers receive extra pay
who undertake to instruct and generally to educate
their subordinates; and whenever their pupils pass
certain examinations in subjects which not only fit
them for their profession, but also for becoming in-
telligent citizens of the world, they receive their
coveted commissions. We are aware that our officers
would not, and, indeed, for the most part are not
competent to undertake a similar duty; but, by the
appointment of learned and liberally paid men to
superintend the education of the soldier, and to have
it followed up by the like results by which
the Prussian candidate is inspired, would
speedily create a moral revolution. The young
gentlemen would receive a gentle hint upon
quitting their military schools that they cannot with
impunity suffer their minds to remain idle, if they
wish to enjoy a proper influence in their regiments.
How great is the amount of leisure at the command
of officers when abroad in different parts of the
world, and how extended are the fields which lay
open to them for observation and research, by which
so much of useful knowledge might be culled and
disseminated for the improvement of mankind, and
yet how lamentably deficient are we in any valued
works of literature from military men ! What opportu-
nities neglected, what a discreditable lack of intellect
and energy ! Such works as NAPIER'S " Peninsular
War," which almost stands alone for the excellence
of its matter and masterly style, only come to us " like
angels' visits, few and far between." Yet, how many
more like these might have adorne3 our shelves, had
education been generously diffused throughout the
British army. Let us but sow the seed, and we shall
soon welcome the fruit.

We yesterday urged in the strongest manner the
propriety, the necessity, of some immediate steps
being taken by the Executive for the purpose of
directing the vast quantity of unemployed labour in
Ireland, that at present consumes and diminishes the
national wealth, which it might greatly increase if
judiciously directed into profitable channels; and
we urged the reclamation and cultivation of
the waste lands in that country, as one
of, if not the very best and most beneficial
modes of its application. In that opinion
we are not singular. It has long been regarded as a
matter of surprise and astonishment that greater ex-
ertions have not been made, that a larger amount of
capital has not been devoted to an object
which would not merely return a most ample
and remunerating dividend for the capital
employer], but also be productive of the
greatest public benefit and advantage. In the
report of Lord DEVON'S Commission it is stated that
" without going the length of supposing that
employment for the people upon bringing such
lands into a profitable cultivation is to furnish a cure
for the evils of Ireland, we concur in the opinion
so strongly expressed in former reports, that very
great advantages may be expected from judicious ar-
rangements for that purpose." And it is afterwards
suggested " that it may be worthy of serious consi-
deration, whether the State might not very usefully
make for these purposes, at a moderate rate of' interest,
some advance, regulated by the amount which com-
panies or individuals might advance in aid of such
operations." That, " the funds required would not
he very large in any one year, and yet a great public
benefit would he attained in increase of employment
for labour; in the progressive extension of' productive
land; and in the opportunity thereby afforded for
the location of industrious families who may
have been, from unavoidable circumstances,
compelled to quit their former holdings ;" and again
they add, " We are desirous of stating our opinion
that under proper arrangements the reclamation of
waste lands, whilst it gives useful and permanent
employment to the labouring► population, will at the
same time produce a fair return for the capital em-
ployed upon it." In addition to this testimony
which is very valuable, in consequence of the
weight which must necessarily be attached
to any opinion deliberately put forward by persons of
such high character, so competent to arrive at a sound
conclusion as the Commissioners, we have the
published and recorded statements of a gentleman of
great intelligence and philanthropy, Mr. POULETT
SCROPE, who, in the month of April 'last,
republished observations made by him on the same
subject in the year 18.34, with a postscript,
bringing them down to the present year, and
which we venture to say contains the soundest
reasoning, the most unanswerable arguments for the
adoption of such a course. But this was not all—
he brought forward in his place in the Legislative
Councils a measure, prepared by himself, for the pur-
pose of carrying his object into execution. This
measure, unfortunately, failed during the last
session. It could hardly be expected that a
private Member, unconnected with the Go.
vernment, should conduct through its various
stages and bring to a successful concluion
enactments of so important a character. He, how-
ever, obtained a discussion, anti published to the na-
tion a proposition which might be attended with the
most beneficial results.
If such steps then were deemed desirable at periods
when there was every promise and hope of an
abundant harvest and a sufficiency of the usual
and ordinary food for the Irish people, as in
other years, how greatly is that advintage enhanced,
that benefit multiplied, if they should be adopted at
a season when gaunt famine and destitution of the
most fearful character impend over the nation ; when
employment of some kind, whether useful or other-
wise, must be provided in order to enable the labour-
ing classes to purchase a bare sufficiency of ne-
cessary food ; when the return for the outlay
will be in the shape of an increase in
the inadequate supply of food, the creation,
if we may so terms it, of many thousands of acres of
land, affording a home and permanent occupation to
many of our hardy yeomen, who would otherwise per-
chance have to bid an eternal farewell to their native
land, and to seek in another and distant country that
shelter, that home, which is not accorded to them in
their own. Every consideration demands that
no time should be lost in commencing
operations, " dimidium facti qui cepit habet."
If once energetic steps are taken they will be per-
severed in until every reclaimable acre in our sister
island is brought into cultivation. Difficulties may at
this moment be interposed in the way of improving
the greater portion of these lands, occasioned by the
limited nature of the estate, or the weight of
the encumbrances affecting the owner, but
there are few counties in Ireland where a
sufficiency of lands might not be procured
for present occupation, which are not affected
by such impediments, and even were that not the
case, there is little doubt but that a remedy would be
applied in the commencement of the next session, and
that every just and reasonable protection would be
afforded both to the proprietor and the reclaimer.
We believe that it has been calculated that an expen-
diture of about 101. per acre on an average, including
the purchase-money, would make that valuable and pro-
ductive land which at present is barren, and all but
valueless; three-fourths of that amount would be ex-
pended on labour alone ; and if, in place of being
purchased, the amount which should be paid to the
proprietor were exchanged for a fee-farm rent in per-
petuity, the whole of the money to be advanced from
the coffers of the State would be applied in the most
advantageous manner for the relief of the existing
distress, and the repayment would not be delayed for
a term of ten years, as contemplated with respect
to the present advance. If the lands so reclaimed
were brought into the market for sale, in small lots,
there would be numerous bidders ready to compete
therefor, and to more than repay the entire advance, or to
levee large interest therefor, in the sh-pe of rent. In
such a ca e the benefit would rot merely be in the
•mployment afforded, the profils derived, but there
would be the additional one, the creation
of a class of yeomanry or small land-
owners, a body of all others perhaps the
most valuable for the nation, the land being their
own, the benefit of every improvement thereon being
secured to themselves or their children. Every in-
ducement will be held out to patient and persevering
industry, all the capabilities of the land will be fully
developed and brought forth. You will besides have
a numerous and efficient class having stakes in the
country, and deeply interested in the maintenance of
peace and tranquillity, and the suppression of riot
and disturbance ; the chief exciting cause will be re-
moved of those outrages which have unhappily too

often affixed. a stain upon Ireland. It is now.pretty
generally admitted that these crimes are-. or an
agrarian -character, And unconnected with
feelii ;- they have their origin in the competition for
land, in the illegal societies that have arisen for the
purpose of protecting the tenant against the rapacity,
the undue-exercise of poAer by his landlord. When
there is a place of refuge on which the ejected cottier
can find employment and a home, there will no longer
be the same motive for combination, and for over-
awing the landlord from dealing with his property in
the manner he thinks most advisable. Surely a
course which promises such results is at least worthy
of a trial, and the sooner such a trial takes place the
better.

From a letter published in the Cologne Gazette, it
appears that the Grand Duke MicHAEL, of Russia,
who is at present in Vienna, will remain there some
time longer, 93 a project is on foot for a marriag.e
between the GRAND DUKE'S daughter and the Arch-
duke STEPHEN, of Austria, the head of the
Government of Bohemia. The Emperor of RUSSIA
is, it is said, exceedingly anxious that this union
should take place without delay.
The Ilarnburgh Correspondent contradicts the re-
port which was published some days since in the
Weser Gazette, and which stated the Emperor of
RUSSIA had written to the King of DENMARK, re-
n-nincing his eventual rights to the succession of the
Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein.
The Grand Duke of BADEN has sanctioned the law
passed by the States for the separation of the judi-
ciary from the other powers of the State, the ap-
pointment of udges dum bene se gesserint, and the
dt-livery of oral testimony and publicity of trial.
The law comes into operation on the Ist of January
next. The police still possess the power of punish-
ing various minor offences summarily, but the States
have petitioned the Grand Duke to deprive them of
this power in many cases.
The High Church party in the Second Chamber of
the States of Baden, sustained a severe check on the
10th instant. M. Buss, a Deputy, made a motion,
the object of which was to render the Catholic
Church completely independent of the State, and
thus tending in the end to ensure the supremacy of
the Jesuits. The motion, after being opposed with
great talent and energy by M. NVELCKER, and other
of his polled!, friends, was rejector' by a great ma-
jority.

The principles of free-trade are making some pro-
gress in Prussia. At a recent dinner of the Com-
mittee of Industry, at Berlin, the President proposed
a% one of the toasts, " Free trade—trade emancipated
from all restrictions."

Madrid papers to the 11th have been received.
The Carlists in Catalonia are up and doing. They
have proclaimed CHARLES VI. in several places, and
at Solsona the celebrated TRISTANY is in arms, at
the head of 300 men. Such is the intelligence which
appears in the Espanol, intelligence which is confirmed
by the telegraphic dispatch received this morning
(which we publish in another part of our paper), an-

nouncing the escape of Don CARLOS from France.
These are the first fruits of the MONTPENSTER mar-
riage, which avowedly was intended to secure to the
ORLEANS dynasty undispnted possession of the
thrones of France and Spain. The Progressistas are
quite as outrageous against the marriage as the
Carlists. The Liberals of Lugo have transmitted to
Madrid a protest against it, couched in language so
strong that the Clamor Public° fears to publish it.
A protest from the Progressistas of Murcia, couched
in less violent language, appears in its columns. The
provincial papers of Cadiz, Seville, and Barcelona,
have all declared against the MONTPENSTER marriage.
The ECJ has an article on the subject, several parts
of which are left in blank, having been suppressed
by the Political Chief, who had seized the number.

In the portion of this article which the Spanish Go-
vernment has suffered to appear, the Eco states that
the second note of Mr. BULWER to M. ISTUITITZ
amounts almost to a veto by England against the
marriage, and warns the Spanish Cabinet against
persevering in a project which, it says, is likely if
realised to lead to a serious misunderstanding be-
tween France and England, and the forfeiture by
Spain of the friendship of a kind and generous ally,
is exchange for sn alliance with France, by the mar-
riage of the INFANTA with a Prince who is rejected
by the whole of the Spanish nation.
It is reported by the Afrancesarlo party that " Air
BULWER is still without instructions from his Govern-,
went, and it is generally thought that England will
not counteract the views of France and Spain. In the
meantime, Mr. BuLwEa has sent ;n a third note to
the President of the Council, containing observations
of a general nature, suggested by his own personal
inspiration. Thi• note will be the last addressed to
M. ISTURITZ, for Mr. BULWER conclu lesby declaring
that it was not his intention to make any further
communication on the subject to the Spanish Cabinet
unless the instructions he received from his Govern-
ment in posed upon him that duty."
The Herald() aribounces that both marriages will
probably he celebrated on the 10th of October.
A royal ordonnance appears in the Gazette, autho-
rising the organization of a new army of reserve, to
consist of sixteen regiments. The corps of Veterans
is to be disbanded.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
The Journal des Debats announces that the POPE
on the morning of the Bth was to have signed the
dispensation for the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN
with her cousin, and that it might be expected to
arrive at Madrid about the 17th or 18th.
According to the Debats this marriage was to re-
unite all the members of the ItonanoN family under
the headship of the KING of the PRENCII. Disunion,
however, instead of union, seems to be the result
produced, if the following statement in the Courrier
Francais is to be relied on:—
" It appears that, since the announcement of the two
marriages, a certain coolness has taken place between
the King of Naples and the French Goverement. The
Ministry had made, some months ago, advances and
formal prnmis-s to the Count de Trapani, and subse
quently abandoned him suddenly and without explana-
t,on. The Neapolitan Goverment has expressed to our
Ambassad. r, M. de Montebello, the discontent that it
fella at such conduct."
We find the following in the Sieele :
" A report was lately prevalent that the English had
taken possession of the Bay of Diego-Suarez. We
observed on that occasion that this report, corning from
Pondicherry, was probably only the echo of some news
which had been circulated at B .urbore We are
now better informed on the subject. The Foreign-
effice has signified to our eftbinet that it must ev:ic.ate
Mayotte or consent to Diego Suarez becoming a
British settlement. It is only a few days since the
Marquis of Norma.,by handed to M Guizot the note in
which this demand is made with much politeness, but
in a most pr-ssing manner. Lon.' Palmerston de-
mands a speedy answer, England not wishing to re-
main in d .uht as to the inteutions of France re-
specting Madagascar. It is useless to observe that the
directing authority has been triueh annoyed, and even
hurt at this note, which has disturbed ill() triumph of the
grand policy in Spain. Nevertheless, he quickly reco-
vered from his alarm. It was not known what present
could b offered to England as an equi%alent for the
marriage of the Duke de Montpensier. Diego-Suarez
will be quietly surrendered, together with the rights of
the sovereignty of France ovor Madagascar. We shad
engage, moreover, not to pursue Ahd-el-Kader into
Morocco. But can we pay too dearly for the good feel-
ing of England and the honour of counting an Infanta
amongst the daughters-in•law of the King of the
French ?"

The France thus comments on the cruel neglect
with which the French prisoners in the power of
Ann-EL• KADER have been treated by the Govern-
ment

.‘ We have publist!ed the letter in which Commandant
Conrby dc Cogtiord, a prisoner of Ahdo-l-Kader, points
out the misery of his I are captivity. Detained for
,levee months under the tents of the Emir, piteously
dragged about with his companions in misfortune in
the suite of the Deira, M. Courby de Cognord in vain
demands of the Government of his country that it
will deign to put an end to their , cruel situation.
We could have comprehended the conduct of the
Minister of War in leaving our unfortunate countrymen
in the power of the Emir, if their deliverance would
have imposed On us sacrifices incompatible with the
dignity and honour of tho country. But what we can-
not admit is, that their release should be still delayed,
when the only thing required to effect it is the simple
exchange of some insignificant prisoners. Abd-cl-Kader
only demands the release of some Arab,;, and at that
price he will restore to us M. Courby de Cognord
and his unfortunate companions. It is in truth
.reces-
sary to call to mind all the negligrnee with which af-
fairs have been cAlducted in Africa for some var.,—
all the int:Henceof the military dictat rship hick rules'
that country—in order to account for conduct so careless
o •
and 60 inhuman. But what does this concern the

Minister of War? Ho confides Algeria to Marshal
Bugeaud, who in ,return confides in no One, and
thinks he - has done enough when he has puffed up
his overweening vanity by SOME new and fruitless
expedition.. 'this state of things bacomes intolerable.
It is already- too long since Marshe.l. But:eau:l has
treated the colony in the tens style cf I, ,uis XIV., and
has said to himself L'Aftique. nini' It is in fact
time that this conquest t.beuid b,conie French ground,
that the mother country should have its eyes on it, and
make its beneficent influence more felt there. After the
reign of the.unintelligent sabre, the reign of humanity
should, it appears to us, commence in Africa, and we
think that our power would lose nothing by it."

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE OXFORD, WORCESTER,
AND 'WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY WORKS.—DUDLEY,
W EDNESDA Y.—A dreadful and fatal occurrence has hap-
pened at the works of the Oxfiird, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Railway, near to this town. It should be
stated that this line of railway passes under a large
portion of the town of Dudley by a tunnel, and it was in
the construction of this tunnel that the accident hap-
pened. The particulars may be very briefly stated. It
appears that three men were employed, yesterday, in one
of the tunnel pits, one of Whom was a workman Lamed
John Bridge. The pit was situated at the back of the
Talbot Inn, in Hell street, and was numbered 4. The
men, it appse:rs, had prepared a "shot," and Bridge was
ascending the shaft of the tunnel in a skip or basket,
when, from sr-me fatality, which cannot at the present
moment be accounted for, he fell out of the skip head
foremost to the bottom of the shale a distance of forty or
fifty yards. His companions immediately proceeded to
raise him to the mouth of the pit, but he appeared quite
dead, his head being literally crushed to pieces and almost
severed from his body. The body
was conveyed to the
Talbot Inn, and medical help was promptly at hand, but
the poor folow was beyond all human aid.

situated on the eastern side ,Of the Surrey Canal, near
