HOME MISSIONS.---We rejoice to find that a
Home Mission has been established in the diocese of Elphin,
under the express sanction of the Bishop. We have long con-
sidered such an arrangement a great desideratum in the coun-
try, as an appendage to our Established Church. The Rev.
Mr. Dunn, of Mount Talbot, is now on circuit in this excellent
work ; and we believe the Rev. S. Medlicott, of Loughrea, has
also gone upon his ten-day tour. Two, sometimes three, ser-
mons are preached each day, in different places, on these oc-
casions.—Galway Advertiser.

Sir. T. BRISBANE made some remarks on a kind of si-
liceous sand found in New South Wales, from which glass
of a superior quality is manufactured.
Dr. CHRISTISON read the Report from the section on
Chemistry, in which papers on various subjects connected
with the science were read by Mr. Harcourt, Dr. Clerk,
Sir D. Brewster, Mr. Graham, and Mr. Kemp.
Professor PHILIPS reported from the section of Geogra-
phy and Geology, in which, among other papers, Mr. J.
Bryce read one on certain bones found in a cavern near
the Giant's Causeway. A paper was also read on the geo-
logy of the Pentland Hills. Mr. Murchison read a paper
on the fossil fishes found in the old red sandstone of Eng-
gland, and also in Forfar and other counties in Scotland.
Dr. Traill announced that the fossil fishes he had brought
from Orkney had been inspected by M. Agassis, who had
discovered among them five new species.
Professor GRAHAM read the Report from the section of
Natural History. In this section Dr. Traill made some
observations on a new species of thrush found in Brabant.
Mr. Pentland concluded his observations on the remains of
what appeared to him an extinct variety of the human race,
which had inhabited a district in South America, extending
from the 16th to the 19th degree of south latitude. From
relics found in various places, it appeared that three-fourths
of the brain were placed behind the spinal column, the con-
sequence of which conformation would be that they would
have great difficulty in keeping their heads erect, and be
more inclined, as the Professor humorously observed, to be
stargazers than geologists. It ought to be observed, how-
ever, that Mr. Pentland failed to convince the section that
this conformation arose from any other source than the ha-
bits of savage life.
Dr. ABERCROMBIE reported from the section on Medi-
cine that several papers on that, subject were read and dis-
cussed.

Colonel SYKES reported from the section of Statistics.
Here Mr. Drinkwater stated the progress made by the
Statistical Society of London, which now consisted of 400
members, connected with every part of the kingdom. Cap-
tain Maconochie read a long and interesting paper on the
population and state of crime in France ; from which he
deduced the important fact that education was not always
a sufficient guarantee against the commission of crime, but
was a mighty instrument for either good or evil, according
as it was directed, and that the great object of education
ought to be the cultivation of the moral feelings. A con-
siderable increase in the number of second convictions had
taken place ; but those sentenced to the gallows seldom
rendered themselves liable to a second punishment. This
observation excited considerable amusement in the meeting.
Mr. WHIWELL then delivered a lecture on several inte-
resting phenomena connected with the tides. The general
fact of tides being:governed by the law of gravitation and
the attraction of the moan and the sun was known to the
learned, but of the particulars they were in a great measure
ignorant. At the last Meeting he therefore called upon
intelligent individuals to institute investigations upon this
subject, and the consequence had been that at Bristol a
Society was formed for the purpose of carrying on these
investigations. Bristol was above all other places calcu-
lated for observations, as the rise and fall of the tide ave-
raged from fifty to sixty feet, where a person might walk at
low water along the valley of the river, and see the ships
lying dry, never dreaming that in a few hours these would
be floated by the tide. To facilitate these inquiries a self-
registering instrument was constructed to ascertain the rate
of the rise and fall of the tides, by which the relative alti-
tudes of different times of high water were delineated on a
sheet of paper, one otAhicli'was exhibited to the Meeting.
By this means the fact, first developed by Newton, from
observations made by a gentleman residing at the spot where
this instrument was now adopted, was proved that at one
period of the Oar the evening tides were greater than the
morning, and at other times the morning tides were greater
than the evening. This circumstance could not be observed
in London, and this arosetfrom the peculiar position of that
city, which he believed :to be unique in the tides of the
coast. Mr. Whewell then described the manner in which
tides were brought to our coast, and showed that the great
tidal wave of the Atlantic, in approaching the shores of
England, divided into ,tyree,columns, and that two of them
met exactly at the mouth of the Thames, one of them
twelve hours after thet,Othii,,-sn that each tide was com-
pounded of an evening.tuie a. morning tide, and in conse-
quence there was no alteration in the daily tides of that
port. In order to prosecute the investigation of these phe-
nomena, application was made to the Admiralty to direct
the Coast Girard Service to make observations on the
subject ; and the officers of that service had shown an
alacrity and zeal in the matter which was worthy of their
character.
Professor SEDGWICK,, at some length, took a general re-
view of the results of the labours of the geological and
geographical sections during the week.
The general concluding Meeting of the Association was
announced to be held in the College Library on Saturday,
(next day).

GAME.—In the Inverness-shire and the neighbour-
ing counties, the slaughter of grouse has been unusually great.
Partridges are numerous, and in good condition ; the coveys
average from twelve to eighteen birds—indeed twenty and
twenty-two have been noticed. Few of the south country
gentlemen have yet left their shooting quarters.

prevailing disorder.
The Queen has sent 5,000 dollars to the relief of the
distressed at Jonkoping.
The squadron arrived at Carlscrona on the 31st, and was
put under quarantine, a man had died the day before of
the cholera, and another, who was attacked with the dis-
order, was sent to the quarantine establishment at Dro-
thingskaer. As the squadron passed Gothland, it saw to
the south of that island a squadron of 17 large and small
Russian men-of-war. It seems that Count Lorventgelen,
before he goes to Paris, will go to St. Petersburgh, to be
present at the consecration of the Alexandrine.
HAMBURGH, SEPT. 2.—BORSEN HALLE.—The sup-

Some small parcels of new grain were eagerly bought up
for consumption. For Rye the highest quotations could
be obtained only for remarkably fine parcels. Barley and
Oats are firm in price, but with little business doing. There
is a demand for Rape and Linseed cake, but none in the
market.

From the 30th ult., to the sth instant twenty-six car-
goes of Corn passed the Sound ; two were bound for Eng-

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL OCCURRENCE.—
We regret having to state that Mr. Thomas Lee, son of T.
Lee, Esq. of Barbican Lodge, in this borough, was drowned
on Friday last, while bathing at Morthoe, about five miles
from Ilfracombe, on the north coast of our county. The de-
ceased was an architect of rising practice in London • but had
been for some years past in the habit of spending a few weeks
every season at this romantic place. His wife died about three
years since, and he has a daughter five years of age, who, with
his sister, accompanied him in his retirement. Though an
expert swimmer, it is supposed the force of the waves drove
him against a rock, a severe contusion being discovered in his
head. About an hour before his body washed on shore, just
at the place where he went to bathe, he was seen by a labourer
in the water, without any appearance of danger.—lforth De-
von Advertiser.

On Monday last, Mr. William Ryan, of Scarteen,
on his way from the fair of Hospital, was attacked within a
mile of his house, by a party of four armed men, two of whom
fired upon him. As a report of Mr. Ryan's death was circu-
lated on Tuesday, we think it right to state that the wound
inflicted, is not considered dangerous by Mr. Ryan's medical
attendants; but that his escape was almost miraculous, two
slugs being found in his waistcoat pocket, which were hindered
from penetrating further by some cash which he had the good
fortune to have in it. The only cause which report
assigns for
the lawless outrage committed on this inoffensive gentleman is,
that he had taken some ground of which the former tenants
were dispossessed.— Tipperary Free Pres.!.

We have received circumstantial details from Madrid re-
specting the situation of the Government and of the Cortes.
There is a disunion in the Government. MM. Moscoso
and Figueroa are accused by MM. Martinez and Toreno of
not pursuing their course with sufficient firmness, and a
meeting of the Council on two occasions since the termi-
nation of the sitting of the sth in the space of a few hours
took place, with the view of compelling their resignation.
MM. Martinez and Toreno do not wish to retire, and will
not until absolutely forced to do so. In the meanwhile, as
these Ministers, belying all their former professions, have
declared their unwillingness and incapacity to govern with
the liberty of the press, it is expected that they will combat
with all their power the principles which have been adopted.
It remains to be seen how long this resistance will last, and
how the struggle will terminate. The Opposition gains
strength every day in the Chamber of Procura-
dores. Out of 190 members present, the Ministry can
positively calculate upon no more than from 33 to 40 ; this
being the number of the men in the Chamber who are
bound to the Ministry by the nature of the offices they fill
or other invariable circumstances. About an equal num-
ber of independent votes might be acquired by the Mi-
nistry, were it not for the obstinately retrograde course
which it has taken. As it is, they can at present command
scarcely one half, for out of the fifty-five voters who sup-
ported them in the sitting of the sth, six or seven deputies
are mentioned, who have openly declared that they do not
desire to be regarded as Ministerial. They voted accord-
ing to the particular opinion which they themselves had
formed on the subject of the press, and were in no way in-
fluenced by the arguments of M. Toreno. The Chamber
of Proceres contains about SO members present, of whom
the Ministry fancy that they will have on every occasion a
very strong majority on their side. This is another error
of theirs. There is among the Proceres little talent, and
none of that energy, without which an aristocratic body
cannot sustain it in the time of a revolution. The Gran-
dees of Spain and the Bishops will defend their privi-
leges with all their might, but they will end with sub-
mission, to which they are already resigned by the
consciousness of their weakness. There are not ten of
them who are attached to the present Ministry in pre-
ference to any other, and certainly not ten who have
power to defend them. The friends of Don Carlos who
form part of this Chamber, or who influence it, have not
been converted by Martinez de la Rosa, as he fancies, and
all that he has gained by the affair of the exclusion is the
compromising of some individuals. It has not had the effect
of attaching a single person to his system. The progress of
public opinion in Madrid is very remarkable. The senti-
ments expressed by all classes in that city are just so much
the more liberal in proportion as the government tries every
effort to suppress all opinion ; and dissentients form an ex-
ception, which is becoming very rare. From the meetings of
the artisans and the National Guards to the tertullias of
high society, in all ranks are heard strong expressions con-
demnatory of the extravagant pretension formed by two or
three men to keep the Spanish people in a state of tutelage,
and refuse them their liberty under the pretext that they are
not sufficiently advanced to make a good use of it.
Everywhere the Ministers are accused of yielding to
foreign influence. These accusations are particularly
made against Count Toreno, at one time the hope of
the patriots, but who, so far from communicating to his
colleague that vigorous decision which he promised, has be-
come tainted by his petty modes of proceeding, as well as all
his false calculations. M. Martinez de la Rosa is also
charged, with some bitterness, with a desire to imitate M.
Persil in one of his most odious measures. He has just
issued an ordinance against public criers. This act has
been considered the more arbitrary on his part, inasmuch
as it was not from his office that the order should regularly
have proceeded. All the important cities are in the same
state as the capital. Petitions praying for extensive re-
forms, and pointing out the necessity of giving Spain a
Constitution, are expected from them. It is said that
these subjects have been discussed at Cadiz and Saragossa
in the political assemblies formed there. It is also said
that special codimissions have been given to several depu-
ties, among the number of the former members of the Cortes,
whose ultralism was represented as extremely dangerous, but
who actually would seem to justify the hopes of wise
patriots of every shade. The attempts of the Car-
lists, the appearance of bands of insurgents in every-
province, are imputed to the negligence of the Go-
vernment ; and if its course is not soon altered, no
one will be surprised at the general cry of reproba-
tion which will be raised against it. According to the
information which we have received, it is evident that the
enlightened liberals of Spain have as little confidence in the
French juste milieu system as in their own, and that they
consider the influence of the Cabinet of the Tuileries in the
Court and in the Council as the cause of every evil. In
spite of all the ability which M. de Rayneval possesses, he
cannot succeed in forgetting his long connexion with MM.
Oubril, Brunetti, and Lieberman, or his great efforts to
keep M. Zea in power. He cannot make people believe
that his politics are altered. Still M. l'Ambassadeur, if he
had instructions of a nature to inspire confidence to the
Constitutional party, would surely abstain from offending
the general opinion of the inhabitants of Madrid, and from
raising a chorus with the Ministers when they declaim
against the press. Doubtless he would not speak of the
press of France as a veritable scourge, which his Court was
labouring as much as possible to paralyze, in order that it
might ultimately be got rid of altogether.
(From the Constitutionnel of Sunday.)

The discussions in the Spanish assemblies are of a very
stormy nature—not indeed in the Chamber of Proceres,
who have almost without discussion, and with the exception
of one member only, agreed to the perpetual exclusion of
Don Carlos and his family—but in the Chamber of Procu-
radores, where has been discussed one of those theoretical.
constitutional questions which so violently excite the pas-
sions, and which would undoubtedly be better suited for an
epoch when Spain should be more calm, and when a por-
tion of her territory was not in insurrection. But as soon
as the question of the freedom of the press and the abolition
of the censorship in Spain was submitted to an assembly
elected by the nation, the solution could not be doubtful.
M.M. Martinez and Toreno have taken (*.most unfortunate
part in this discussion. It did not become them,the ornaments
of the Spanish emigration, the martyrs of despotism, to rise up
against the most vital, the strongest guarantee given to na-
tions against the encroachments of power. The President
of the Council, in particular, much less moderate in his lan-
guage than his colleagues, must repent the violent attack into
which he was betrayed against the French press. The lite-
rary Minister, who denies the utility and civilizing influ-
ence of the Journals, should at least recollect that t'nia
press, which he estimates so lowly, was not inhospitable to
him. In spite of the eloquence of the two Ministers--in
spite of the great influence which their talents, their patrio-
tism, and public probity enable them to exercise over the
assembly, the resolution which they so determinedly opposed
was adopted, though by a small majority. This defeat is
the more serious because the Ministerial party were in the
wrong, and it is calculated to strengthen the Opposition,
who are not always right in their attacks. We hope, ne-
vertheless, for the sake of Spanish liberty, that the retire-
ment of MM. Martinez de la Rosa and Toreno will not be
the consequence of this resolution on the part of the Cham-
ber. In spite of some faults, which our sincere desire to
see Spain happy and free will not permit vs to conceal, we
do not hesitate to say that the wise and firm course of mo-
deration pursued by the present Ministers could not be
abandoned at the present day without endangering the fu-
ture prospects of Spain.
(From the Memorial des Pyrenees of Sunday.)

Reduced to the most galling extremities, in want of
every thing, and obliged to go from one sheepfold to ano-
ther to seek a refuge, only to leave as soon as obtained,
Don Carlos, it is said, is completely dispirited, and bitterly
accuses his partisans of having deceived him. The whole
of Spain, he was told, would rise at his voice, and his
journey from the frontier to the Escurial would only be a
short triumphant march, and yet the insurrection, confined
to the circle which it occupied before the Pretender's arri-
val, has not extended an inch. Spain remains tranquil :
the insurgents exhaust their last resources ; the powerful
diversion on which he counted from the Powers of the
North has not taken place, and Don Carlos would by this
time have left for England if the opinionated Zumalacarregui
had not formally opposed such a step.
