quiry of practical men in London as to the value of me-
dical training at Cambridge. He would find that although
not so profoundly ridiculous as the ceremonies observed
for the legal distinctions, it was slipshod and insufficient
to the last degree—even leaving anatomy out of the
question. He would then be toldthattrug

As a school for diplomacy, the Institution of
the Charitable Knife-Grinders, celebrated by Mr.
Dickens, was as much to the purpose as the
wealthy and famous University of Cambridge. Modern
languages, modern history, the histories of treaties, ap-
peared to the heads of houses but as so much nameless
trash. A fellow ot Sidney Sussex College would have
held himself entitled to turn up his nose at Prince Tal-
leyrand and a sucking Mathematical Bachelor, oozing
with sines and cosines, have held Monsieur Guizot or
Mr. Hallam but in slight esteem. " May it please your
Royal Highness, we are a Mathematical University."
That of course was decisive upon the point. His Royal
Highness, however, was not pleased at all, and the
country, in our opinion, owes him a debt of deep grati-
tude for the change in the monstrous system hitherto
pursued in the University. The public time is occu-
pied with so many important matters that require instant
attention that any subject that can be postponed, or that
is not of immediate party interest, is forgotten or cast
aside. That is the only explanation that can be offered for
the continuance of such a system. The great body of
the public—that is to say, the public who do not write
B.A. or M.A. after their names, may have been the
dupes of the nomenclature of the Cambridge University
calendar. They may have assumed that the pro-
f lessors were bona fide professors, whose lectures were
i attended with as much zeal and effect as those of the
1 corresponding functionaries in the foreign universities.
t No such thing. These professors are but as the war-
t riors of straw the Chinese are wont to place by the side
of their wooden guns in order to exaggerate the appre-
I of their power. The Cambridgeshire professors
leave the pupils to the college tutor, and the college
tutor leaves them to the private tutor, who is, in nine
cases out of ten, a young man who has himself but just
,
1 taken his degree. It is by this class of men—we will
venture to say by this class of men only—that the Uni-
versity education is practically conducted. Their office
is simply to cram their pupils with the latest fashions
in mathematics, and to time their cramming so nicely
ti that the -industrious young roan shall be titled to the
full extent of his capacity at the moment he staggers
i into the Senate-house for examination.
l POST.—It seems that a notice has been circulated
among those whose property lies by the shore of the
Thames that at certain periods of November, December,
and January high tides may be expected. The abund-
ance of rain which has fallen is likely to swell the rive'
towards its source, and the abounding waters, meeting
the incoming tide from the sea, may probably rise far
above their usual level. They who have property by
the shore are therefore put upon their guard. They are
judiciously warned to provide in time for the safety of
their goods. It is a pity that, while there is enough ce
good sense in the community to lead to precautions of
this kind, concerning timber, coals, and stores of various
kinds likely to be damaged or swept away by the rising
Thames, the community treats with practical neglect a
much more important ebbing and flosving,whic it affects id
property that is to he bought aed sold—we mean the
ebbing and flowing of the currency. Great, no doubt,
is the danger of an excessive flowing of the tide iti
the Thames, but a thousand times greater is the danger
of an excessive ebbing of the tide of money in this
country. And yet regarding this there is no one to
give warning. Thera is no one whose business it is to
watch the probsule course of events, and to give autho-
ritative warning of what may be expected. Persons wile
call themselves practical statesmen, and who are ready
enough to talk about the currency, do not
.think it neces-
sary to mark, as they ought to do, the fluctuations of this
wonderful agent upon the fortunes of almost all ranks
and conditions of men in such a society as that of Great
Britain. The welfare certainly—perhaps the health an
the lives—of thousands depend upon that impetus to
business—that support of commercial interchange which
the currency supplies. We take currency in its largeet
sense; it may be bills of exchange, or cheques on
bankers, or bank notes, or specie, anything which for the
time will be accepted as the representative of property,
and enable persons whose industry is in action tu
go on with good hope of a market for what the)
are able to produce. It is b,,catese our currency is so
complicated, and consists of various elements, which
various circumstances and accidents may render
abundant, or may cause to d.sappear, or make unavail-
able for their purposes as currency, that thegrcatest care
is required, to look forward, to see in advance the flew
or the ebb which ought reasonably to be expected, and
to give warning to the owners of property, and to those
who are bound to be furnished, at fixed future periods,
with certain portions of the currency, whether it b
' scarce or abundant. Until 1844 the Bank of Englend
had the power, to some extent, of meeting the circum
stance of an ebb in the currency. When it had run up
into Lombard-street, and was 13 ing in the reservoirs of
the private bankers, instead of flowing in the channel:
necessary to support awl facilitate commerce, then the
B ink, finding that the country required currency, though
it slid not require gold, was wont to increase its issue ot
notes, which increase wits drawn back again as soon as
returning confidence in commercial bills induced the

the dignity or impairing" the 'strength of governments,
would be the surest guarantee for the preservation of
general peace, and the advancement of public prosperity.
The Congress is fully aware that the force of circum-
stances, the progress of modern industry and commerce,
the.greater facility and frequency of communication be-
tween the nations, the diffusion of knowledge, and the
more elevated sentiments of humanity and religion, all
tend to prevent the recurrence of war; but it is not less
assured that it remains with the governments of the
civilised world to put an end to that fatal and sanguinary
custom, by adopting those wise and necessary measures
which shall lead to so happy a result.
In submitting to statesmen the recommendations em-
bodied in the resolutions, the Congress entertain a just
and legitimate confidence that they will not be disre-
garded; and that the Governments of Europe and
America,:animated; by an ardent and sincere desire to
promote the welfare of the great commonwealth of na-
tions, will determine as in the performance of a sacred
duty, to give them a practical application, and thus aid
in securing the peace of the world.

OF FRIDAY.
WAR-OFFICE, Nov. 3, 1848.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE. '
Peter Felton, a man who has the appearance of a
farmer, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged
with having attempted to steal two horses, the property
of Mr. Wood, livery-stablekeeper, of Camomile-street.
This was one of a great number of attempts to plunder
the prosecutor, who, upon finding what the object of the
prisoner was, took him into custody himself without any
ceremony, notwithstanding the repeated assurances of
the fellow that there was a mistake committed as to his
integrity.
- Mr. Wood's statement was briefly to the following
effect:—The prisoner called at Mr. Wood's premises on
Thursday, for the purpose of looking at a couple of car-
riage horses. Ile had a few weeks before made his ap-
pearance at the stables, and said he was badly off; and
Mr. Wood, although not at all acquainted with him, gave
him a shilling from mere compassion. In applying to
Mr. Wood, the prisoner referred to that instance of libe-
rality, and said, "As you did me a good turn, I am
going to do you one. I have got the situation of farmer
and bailiff to Lady Clinton, in Barkway, in Hertford-
shire, and as her ladyship is in want of a couple of
good horses, I have recommended you as a dealer." Mr.
1 Wood asked him what sort of horses, and he said a
pair of light ones. In the course of conversation Mr.
Wood's experience enabled him to detect the rogue
under this disguise of gratitude, and having put se-
veral questions to the prisoner which rather confounded
the customer, proposed to call at the town house of
Lady Clinton on the subject, and afterwards to write te
her Ladyship. Neither of these propositions being at
all palatable to the prisoner, Mr. Wood said to him,
there not being the least doubt of his intention to steal
the horses, " What a base villain you must be to want
to rob me of my property." Upon being conveyed to the
station-house, the prisoner not only persevered in his
false representation, but was excessively abusive to the
complainant, and addressed him in the coarsest and
most offensive language, and it was considered advisable
to refer the matter to the Lord Mayor.
The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner whether he
wished to say anything?
The prisoner said that all he should say might be used
to his prejudice if his prosecutor pleased. He then said
that he ought to go down on his knees fur pardon to Mr.
Wood fur having made such an attempt to impose upon
him; but he hoped for forgiveness, when it was known
that his skull had been fractured by an accident on a
railway, linen an occasion when the engineer was killed,
and that whenever he drunk spirits he was wholly des-
titute of reason, and would not hesitate to commit any
violence. He admitted that he was net in the service of
Lady Clinton, and that he had not been commissioned
by her Ladyship to purchase the horses. Ile said that
he had been drinking several glasses of gin just before
he saw Mr. Wood, and Chet what he said and did was
entirely dictated by the delusion arising from the cursed
lush.
The LORD Ma-you—You seem to have managed this
business very inginiuusly for a man out of his senses.
Have you ever been in the service of Lady Clinton?
Prisoner—About eleven or twelve years ago I was in her
Ladyship's service as farmer and bailiff.
The LORD MAYOR—Why did you leave her service I
Prisoner—l married while in her Ladyship's service, and
my wife wished to have a house of her own, so I took a
house and gave 2,000/. for it, and I afterwards sold it
for 6001.
The LORD Maros—Was the 2,0001. your own
money? Prisoner—lt was ; I saved it in service.
The LORD MAYOR—I shall remand the prisoner till
Tuesday, and I dare say we shall hear something from
Lady Clinton about him in the meantime.
William Legg, who was a few days ago charged with
having married Dinah Rowe, his first wife being alive,
was brought up for final examination.
Henry Payne, of Eldon-terrace, Southampton, tailor,
stated that he was present when the prisoner, on the
20th of September, 1839, was married to Sophia Parker,
in the parish church of St. Michael's, Southampton. He
was one of the subscribing witnesses to the ceremony,
and had subsequently visited the married couple at Bit-
tern, near Southampton, and he had seen the prisoner's
wife that day.
Dinah Rowe said that she had known the prisoner
eighteen months, and had married him on the 3d of last
July, and lived with him until she heard of his former
marriage.
Mr. Wontner submitted that there were several cir-
cumstances of extenuation in the case. In the first
place, he had been, when a mere boy, inveigled into a
union with a woman considerably his senior, and her
jealousy had caused a separation. Having then become
a butler in the family of the late Sir William Curtis,
who had died in his arms, he soon aftewards was engaged
in a family in whose service Dinah Rowo lived. The
marriage arose out of that acquaintance, and was actually
entered into by the prisoner as a sort of amends for the
dangerous intimacy which took place between him and
that young woman. The evidence could not be resisted,
but it was to be hoped that the Lord Mayor would take
bail for the prisoner's appearance.
The LORD MAYOR said the circumstances just stated
might go to a jury, but he certainly could not take bail ;
and upon learning that the prisoner's wife had three
children, and had been allowed AO more than 3s. a week
by the prisoner for the support of the whole family,
stated that he could see no extenuating circumstances at
all in the case.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.
BOW-STREET,
William Frederick Howe, a clerk, appeared upon a
summons to answer a complaint preferred against him
for having unlawfully forged the signature of Mr.
Charles Mathews to a certain order of admission to the
pit of the Lyceum Theatre, with intent to defraud him.
The defendant pleaded guilty.
Mr. Lewis attended to support the charge, which he
reminded the Court was an indictable offence.
A constable of the A division produced an order
which he received on the 26th ult. from the check-
taker of the pit entrance, and having traced it to the
defendant, ho went to him at the Bedford-chambers, and
he not only admitted that the order in question had been
written by him, but that he had also written two or
three dozen for the Adelphi Theatre, which he presented
to his acquaintances for a lark, but without any intntion
to defraud.
Mr. Wilmot, the check-taker, said that during the
rush on the evening of the 26th the order was presented,
and from the answer given to his questions the forgery
was traced to the defendant. There were no orders
granted for the pit, and the signature to the one pro-
duced bore no resemblance to Mr. Mathews' hand-
writing.
The defendant assured the Court that he never con-
templated any fraud, and he wrote the order simply for
the purpose of enjoying a lark at the expense of his
friends, under the impression that, as a matter of course,
it would be rejected, and in proof of it the matter was
the subject of conversation on board a steamer coming
from Greenwich the day before it was admitted.
Mr. JARDINE said that it was certainly playing with
edged tools, and although it might appear that do fraud
was really intended, it would be for Mr. Mathews to
determine if he would prosecute the charge at the
sessions.
Mr. Lewis—And the defendant might also be held to
bail to be of good behaviour.
Mr. JARDINE expressed a hope that such a course
would be quite sufficient, and ordered the defendant to
enter into his own recognizances in the sum of 501. to
be of good behaviour for the next six months.
CLERKEN WELL.
Mr. Herring. the owner of a menagerie in the New-
road, anpeared to a summons, at the instance of the
parish authorities of St. Pancras, for a nuisance.
The menagerie, it appeared, had existed for many
years past, and the noxious smells arising therefrom had
seriously affected the neighbours, who now complained
of the nuisance.
Mr. Skelding, surgeon, had examined the premises,
and said that the pens in which the animals, &c., were
kept, the walls, and the earth, were saturated with
filth, so as to be highly dangerous to the health of the
inhabitants.
Mr. TYRIVRITT complimented the parish authorities
for taking up the matter, and he adjourned the case
until Thursday next, for the purpose of having the pre-
mises purified, and the nuisance complained of entirely
removed, or he would certainly make his order that the
parish should remove it.

a considerable increase of constabulary force.
