ments by CAREW O'DWYER, who replied to
his animadversions on the Catholics, and on the
Ministers in particular, with an acuteness----a promp-
titudeand an energy,--that left him literally. without
a leg•to stand on. Nothing could exceed the apt and
sarcastic felicity of Mr. O'DwYEa's allusions, to the
Paten's evidently -strong reluctance to have a mitre
planted on his apostolic sconce, except the ready way
in which he disposed of the O'SULLIVAN'S whole-
sale-attack on Catholic bigotry. The Meeting, who
were -strongly impressed with the force and apposite-
ness of Mr. O'DWYER'S reasoning, came to the reso-
lution, !‘ that it is inexpedient to entertain any question
as to the regUlation of ecclesiastical affairs, and the
difference between the Catholic and Protestant religions
as introduced to the Meeting." This is one of the
greatest triumphs that common sense has yet gained
over bigotry. -

The whole of the French Papers of Tuesday have
been received. The following exttacts contain all that
is important in them :

PARTS, DEC. 15.—The Eclaireur gives the following
news from Oran :

" Abdil Kadir has about 28,000 men and eight cannon.
This artillery may induce him, if he means to defend him-
self, to engage in a battle in which he will not have the
advantage. His army has opened like a curtain to let us
go forward. It is feared that after having suffered us to
proceed to Mascara, he will then bring in our rear, fortify
himself in the defile; and harass us on our return. The
Marshal, however, was afraid of nothing but bad weather,
especially rain ; but for these twelve days we have had
beautiful weather, and the south wind, which continues to
blow, has not brought a single cloud."
While all the accounts from Oran represent the Prince
Royal as marching with the expedition to Mascara, we find
the following article in the Eclaircur Ministerial journal,
of Toulon, printed in striking type, to draw the attention
of the reader :

" We Are able to announce from a letter, written from
Oran the 28th November, that his Royal Highness the
Duke of Orleans was to embark on the 9th of this month
to return to France, unless the Prince should have thought
fit to go as far as Termezen. It is known that this town
is in the possession of the Turks, and that those who were
always subject to Algiers have recognized our sovereignty
in that country.
" The Prince continues to enjoy, perfect health."-211c-s-

Bouts's THREE o'CLoc7.—Since the close of the Bourse
yesterday the Three per Cents. have been in demand at 79f.
bc. ; before the opening of the Bourse they rose to 79f. 15c.
to 20c., and got up to 79f. 30c. No reason is assigned for
this sudden improvement, except that it is whispered that the
object of the departure of Almodoyar to the head-quarters of
Cordova is actually to forward a negotiation already com-
menced by some Carlist chiefs wbo are desirous to submit to
the present Government. The Spanish securities have, how-
ever, not much improved; still they are in demand, but no
business of consequence is being done.

The Augsburgh Gazette of the 11th inst. contains
an article from Berlin, dated the 7th, on the subject
of a proposition made by the North American States
to join the Prussian commercial league. There is
much in this article to arrest the attention of the
commercialists of Great Britain and France. Being
the production of a Member of the Berlin Cabinet, it
may be fairly presumed not to contain an expression
of which the KING does not most cordially approve ;
and as the question is brought nearer and nearer to us
every day, it is our interest to omit no means of turn-
ing whatever is inevitable in it to our own advantage.
At the same time we must observe, that this article
gives us quite a new view of the Prussian league ;
that we nbw see the means of escaping, without vio-
lence, those dangers with which its permanence threat-
ened us ; and that, if taken timely and proper ad-
vantage of, may be made the instrument of effecting
the political emancipation of Europe. As the
article is divided into three paragraphs, we shall quote
them separately, and in the order of their first arrange-
ment, for the purpose of 'making a few passing obser-
vations upon each :
" The proposal made by the United States to conclude a
commercial treaty with the German Commercial League
has created much sensation here—not so much on account
of the direct advantages it promises, as of the consideration
that it is the first advantage we have derived from abroad
through the German Commercial Union, and that it ac-
quaints us with the important station we have acquired
among commercial nations. The Americans prove by these
proposals that they are quicker than any other nation in
understanding their interest, and abler to avail themselves
of opportunities to promote it."

We were not previously aware that Foreign States
were really admissible into the league which Prussia
has taken such trouble to impose upon the minor
German States. We knew, in common with our
contemporaries, that when Russia first proposed an
Union of the German Confederation, vague expecta-
tions of a period, when other nations would see the

-•
wisdom of adopting a similar course, were mentione(

in the programme addressed to the several independent
Princes. What the advantages may be to Prussia
from a commercial treaty with the United States of
America, we arc yet to learn. Unquestionably all
treaties for the interchange of commerce among
nations are followed by great advantages to every
party concerned in them ; and on this principle
Germany and the United States must mutually
profit by a more extended commercial intercourse,
As to the compliment paid to the Republican Govern-
ment of America, at the expense of the absolute monar-
chies of Europe, it must be taken at its current value—
nothing more. The following paragraph is addressed
to ourselves, and, therefore, worthy of our especial
regard :

" France and England will not remain long behind ; they
will not wait until tbc.Commercial Unjon, being better con-
solidated, treats them as they have treated Germany for
such a long series of years. France will reduce the duties
on German linen cloths, in order to obtain a market for her
wines and silks in Germany. England will reform her corn
laws, and reduce the duties on German produce and manu-
factured goods, in order to prevent a new increase of duty
being laid on her cotton goods, cutlery, &c. Mr. Bowring,
who at this moment is travelling through Switzerland, and
will perhaps later come to Germany, will have to apprise
his Government that it is by just concessions alone that it
can keep possession of the German market ; and this good
advice will be the better received by the English Ministers,
because the corn laws are a measure of the Tories, who in-
vented them with the sole view of increasing their rents at
the expense of the country. The accession of the United
States to the German Commercial League is, besides, of
great moment to England. North America and Germany
are the best customers of the English manufactures ; it
may be reckoned that these two countries together consume
more than a third of all the English exports. They are
both equally interested in England's diminishing her duties
on foreign produce ; and if they both in common should
invite England .to do so, it may come to pass that England
may at length feel disposed to draw nearer to the principles
of free trade, which she continually preaches to other coun-
tries, but has not hitherto carried into practice."
Nothing can be fairer—nothing truer than the above
view of the question as far as regards England. Most
willingly would we join the Prussian commercial league
on the conditions here proposed ; and if British trade
suffer in consequence of rejecting the offer thus conci-
liatingly made by Prussia, all that we can say is, that
out own Government and the landed aristocracy will be
alone to blame. Prussia seeks no more on the part of
the Confederacy than she is bound to seek. She asks

England to place the products of Germany on the same
footing that Germany is dispited td place tai manu
factures of England. This is equitable ; and England
will overlook her own best interests if she reject such a
proposition. "Do unto others as you would they
should do unto you," is as much the policy Of nations
as it is the duty of individuals. British agricultu-
rists have had sufficient experience of the fatal protec-
tion afforded by corn laws ; and now that they are
proved inefficient for the purposes for which they were
enacted, the sooner we set about to abolish them the
better. They have been proved not to be a good
by the universal cry of agricultural distress. What mad-
ness then to retain them after they are felt to be an evil
in the commercial relations of the country ? Is it wise
in a great nation to strangle trade by the adoption and
retention of a measure which has not .protected agri-
culture ? Is it politic to resolve that because the far-
mer is in a state of insolvency, therefore the artizan
must be compelled to seek a home for himself and
his family in the parish work-house ? Is there
either national justice or common sense in driving
this country to the very verge of bankruptcy, in
order that the only class in it unworthy of state
protection, may -not lose a fraction of rents contracted
under erroneous impressions on the part of the mis-
taken and deluded tenantry ? And even if the corn-
laws gave to the agriculturists all that protection for
which they are so clamorous, what right has England to
expect that Foreign States will not protect themselves by
similar restrictions ? But, as we have already observed,
the Corn Laws do not protect the English corn
grower, and therefore instead of being a good, they
are essentially a positive evil. We are a manufac-
turing, a commercial nation ; not an agricultural one.
Let us only declare our trade free ; open our ports to
the corn-growers of Prussia and the German States ;
receive direct from the Baltic the timber grown
in the North of Europe, instead of smuggling
it, at five times the expense, from Canada ; adopt it as
a fixed principle to levy only nominal duties on such
rude materials as are designed to be subsequently em-
ployed in home manufactures, and the Prussian com-
mercial league will be a benefit to us rather than a
loss. It is of no importance whatever to us that
Prussia is the founder and places herself at the head of
the Union. England's rank and influence among the na-
tions of Europe will not be lost sight of by those who
either sit above or below her at the Council Board
of the Confederation. Besides, the presence of such
a Power will at once neutralize the ulterior designs both
of Russia and Prussia, and thus the political schemes
of the league will be frustrated; The following views
of America on the subject—if they, indeed, embody a
design sanctioned by Congress, or the President—are
entirely new to us. They conclude the article of the
Prussian Minister :

" It is affirmed that the American Government fully
acknowledges this common interest, and the importance
of its direct adhesion to the German Commercial League,
and that the future advantages to be derived from it form
the principle object of . Mr. Wheatson's mission. It is
alleged even that his Government has much more exten-
sive projects, to which a connection with the Commercial
League is to serve only as an introduction. It is said
to have acknowledged that the present confusion existing
in the economy of nations requires a grand measure ;
that the contradictions prevailing between practice and
theory cannot last any longer ; and that it is time that
those who have an interest in disposing England for a reduc-
tion of her duties should unite and adopt measures in concert.
The intention is further alleged of proposing the convocation
of a permanent European and American commercial Con-
gress, in which shall be represented all the Powers having the
hope of deriving benefit from it, and the advantages of mutual
concessions shall be discussed. This Congress would com-
municate the result of its debates not only to the Govern-
ment concerned in them, but likewise to the public. How-
ever this may be, it is certain that the:proposal, with all the
gigantic appearance it presents, is conformable to the times,
and will soon or late be carried into effect, it being the only
means of reaching the utmost commercial freedom. Should
America not take the initiative, the German Commercial
League may possibly on some future day assume it. We
are persuaded that it would not fruitlessly address itself to
Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Portu-
gal, and the United States of America, and that the Dele-
gates of those various countries would not have long to wait
for the adhesion of England, France, and Russia."

We shall only remark in this place that England has
nothing to fear from any Confederation—however ex-
tensive and gigantic—provided her trade is not re-
stricted and fettered by legislative enactments. All
her artisans demand from the Government is fair
play—the power of entering into a manly and
open competition with -the same class of persons
in every other country. As for Lord CASTLE-
REAGH'S bugbear of England being starved in
the event of a general war, unless provided with
provisions grown within herself, it is about as frightful
as the discovery made by d certain German philoso-
pher, that this world was destined to be destroyed at
the end of eleven millions of years !

Madrid papers of the 7th inst. have been re-
ceived. The Duke de FRIAs, the Spanish Ambas-
sador at the French Court, has been recalled to
take his seat in the Chamber of Proceres. General
ALAVA is to supply his place, and likewise retain
the office of Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of
London. The accounts from the North were fa-
vourable.

We are glad to see from the tenth Annual Report of
the Lewes Mechanics' Institution, that the cause of
public education is making rapid progress in that bo-
rough, in spite of the illiberal opposition of a party
who think the spread of intelligence among the indus-
trious classes a great evil. The financial affairs of
the Institution are well managed, and, as a natural
consequence, are in a very prosperous condition. The
increase in the number of subscribers during the last
year is stated to be, in proportion to the total number,
ten times as great as the comparative increase in the
number of the inhabitants of the borough.
The Report is followed by an address from the Com-
mittee, and speeches by several friends of the Institu-
tion, delivered:at the Annual Meeting, the object of
which is to point out the advantages to be derived
from the general diffusion of knowledge, and the uti-
lity of such institutions as that in question, in attain-
ing so desirable au end. From the address we extract
the following statement of the increase which has taken
place in, the number of schools and scholars in Eng-
land and Wales since 1818 :

" It is known to most, we may say all, of you, that, in this
country, not including Ireland, there never has been any na-
tional provision for gratuitous education ; the numerous free
academical establishments are all supported by the munificence
of individuals. In 1818, returns were ordered to be presented
to Parliament, showing the number of free schools in England
and. Wales, together with that of the scholars attending them.
By these returns, it appears that there were, in 1818, 4,167
endowed schools; 14,282 unendowed schools; and 5,162
Sunday schools ; by means of which 644,282 children were in-
structed in the rudiments of useful knowledge and religious
precept. No official return has been made on the subject
from that time until last year. The return which Mr. B.
held in his hand—and which he with some difficulty obtained
—is the latest ; by which it appears that a rapid increase of
both schools and scholars has taken place. The increase of
daily schools since 1818, is stated at 19,645, attended by
671,243 ; and of Sunday schools at 11,285, attended by
1,123,397 scholars. Calculating the population of England
and Wales, in 1834, at 14,400,000, it appears that the children
under instruction at infant and all other daily scsools, amounted
to about 9 per cent. ; and those in Sunday schools to 11 per
cent., of the total population."
ratifying as this increase in the number of children
receiving the benefit of education is, it cannot be
denied that there is still ample room for the exertions
of the friends of education ; and nowhere are these
exertions more necessary than in the Metropolis and
its neighbourhood. There is hardly a lane from Ham-
mersmith to Mile End that cannot furnish dozens of
children who are still shut out from every bind of educa-

tion. This is a subject of deep importance both in a
and Moral point of view, and we trust it will
no longer be overlooked by• those philanthropists who
have been so zealous (to their praise be it spoken)
in promoting the circulation of the Scriptures, and the
establishment of schools, in foreign countries.

To return to the Lewes Mechanics' Institution. As
the plan pursued by the Managers of this Society, for
rendering it an efficient instrument for the instruction
of the working classes, appears to us very judicious, we
subjoin the following brief outline of it, which may
perhaps be of service to the Directors of other institu-
tions of the same kind.

" Before we conclude, it may be proper to remind you of
the means by which this association dispenses the benefits it
purposes to bestow. Several of those periodicals which are
deemed the most useful, together with a daily Metropolitan news-
paper, are regularly supplied. The Institution (besides its
library of 1,140 books) possesses a small laboratory, for expe-
rimenting, a museum of fossils, minerals, and specimens of
natural and cosmographical history. During the winter
months, classes meet for the study of reading, writing, and
arithmetic ; also, when a sufficient number wish to avail them-
selves,a class is formed for instruction in the principles of na-
tural philosophy. Lectures on various branches of science,
and subjects of practical utility, are delivered gratuitously to
members. The affairs of the Institution are regulated by a
committee, who, elected by the members, act under their con-
troul. Allow us to say a few words in relation to the utility,
of well-ordered lectures. It would almost exceed the power
of the great majority of the members of this Institution to
obtain from treatises, in the solitude of their closet, the informa-
tion they can collect from oral instruction. The information
•of one individual on a scientific subject, with which he is neces-
sarily acquainted, is simultaneously conveyed to his auditors ;
whose attention—drawn to the subject by previous announce-
ment—is fixed by the presence and voice of the lecturer ; the
most idle will carry away something; and the more diligent
will compare the information they have acquired, with the
volumes they peruse in their chambers."

Colonel Wildman is making great improvements at
Newstead Abbey, but some years must elapse ere all the
designs for its embellishment are Completed. The Barons'
Hall is in as neglected a state as in Lord Byron's time.
The proportions are on a large scale, and even in its pre-
sent condition it wears an air of feudal grandeur from the
open work roof and music gallery. The domestic offices
of stone, in the early English style, have been rebuilt. The
Duke of Sussex for several years has been the annual
guest of the Colonel, but the indifferent health of his Royal
Highness has prevented him from visiting Newstead the
present year.

A shocking and fatal accident occurred yesterday on
the London and Birmingham Railway, near Watford, to a
man named Smith, who was engaged in driving a team of
horses which were drawing a cart laden with a ton and a
half of earth, when he slipped, and fell across the temporary
iron tram which is laid down, and before he could recover
himself the near wheel went over his loins, and literally cut
bim in two. Of course the poor fellow died instantly, and
without a groan. The bowels gushed out, and the body
presented a most dreadful spectacle.

Mr. Fyler has given notice of his intention to move
at the next meeting of the Middlesex magistrates, that a
sum not exceeding 300/. be expended for the purpose of
enabling the House of Correction and the New Prison to
be supplied with bread, to be made by the labour of the pri-
soners confined therein.

MUNIFICENCE.—A very handsome building has
lately been erected at Oldham, at the cost of several
thousand pounds, by the inhabitants of that town, called the
Blue Coat School, for clothing and educating 100 poor
boys ; and which has been endowed by a gentleman of the
name of Henshaw, who died there a few years since, with
a sum amounting to upwards of 70,0001.

Friday night, a serious affray took place at Nits-
hill, near Hurlett, among the colliers and others employed
at that place. About fifteen persons had been drinking in
the Nitshill Inn. One of them, Crasson, was alive on
Saturday, but little hope was entertained of his recovery.
Tuesday morning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, as
Mr. George Jackson (nepheW of Mr. Jackson, churchwar-
den of St. Olave's parish, Southwark) was returning to his
residence in Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, he dis-
covered a female in a frantic state, in Market-street, Oxford-
street. He called the assistance of Sergeant Wilson, No. 12,
belonging to the E division, who conveyed her to the St.
Marylebone-lane station-house, where she stated that she
Was sister to Sir Samuel Whalley, the member of Parlia-
ment for the borough of St. Marylebone. In her pocket
was a savings-bank book, in which was inserted a deposit of
20/. ; the name of " Snow" was written inside of it. Her
dress was elegant, and it is supposed that the unfortunate
lady had escaped from some lunatic asylum. She is about
30 years of age.
CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.-It has at length
been determined by the Trustees of the proposed suspension
bridge across the Severn, at Clifton, to proceed with the
undertaking. The design to be adopted is that of Mr.
Brunel, with some new suggestions. •

The receipts at the Savings' Bank, Sheffield, during
the past week, amounted to 1,3271., being the largest
amount received, since the opening of the bank, in any two
days of business, and notwithstanding the restriction which,
limits the amount to be received from any depositor to 301.
in the year.—Shefteld Iris.
REFORM ASSOCIATION.—It gratifies us exceed-
ingly to learn that arrangements are in progress to
establish an association of Reformers in this city, under
auspices and upon principles which cannot fail to strengthen
the Administration of Lord Melbourne in this important
division of the empire. We have not the smallest doubt
that the name of every liberal gentleman in Ireland will be
found registered in this association.—Dublin Freeman's
Journal.

Sir William Follett is fast recovering from his late
severe attack. His medical attendants have, however, ad-
vised that Sir William should not think of entering upon
his duties in court previous to next term.

Arthur, the druggist, who is in custody for attempt
ing to blow up his shop in Gallowgate, Glasgow, with gun-
powder, is to be tried at the High Court of Justiciary im-
mediately after the Christmas recess.—Glasgow Herald.

FAIR PLAY.—We have heard a story—it may be
an old one ; however that may be, the story goes that a
party of Irishmen, enjoying themselves in some public gar-
dens, determined all at once to amuse thenvelves by firing
with a pistol at the keyhole of a summer-house. At the
first shot, out rushed a gentleman who had been quietly re-
posing therein, vowing vengeance against those who had
disturbed his slumbers, by sending an ounce of lead within
an inch of his pericranium. The Irishmen, national from
the crown of the head to the sole of the foot, instantly
offered, with the greatest sang froid, to make every possible
satisfaction, at the same time glancing at their pistols in
that knowing manner which admits of no mistake. " This
is all as it should be," replied the other, " when we are
upon equal terms, which will only be when you, gentle-
men, have taken your seats in the summer-house, and I
have hsd a shot at you through the keyhole." This put-
ting off the case, so fair and yet so novel, brought the par-
ties to reflection--explanations and apologies took the place
of powder and ball—the clouds dispersed, and the threat.
ening tragedy was converted into a comedy. Now, we
maintain that we of the public have, from time immemo-
rial, been occupying the place of the van in the summer-
house, while our worthy Corporators have been banging
away at us, shot after shot, through the .keyhole of the
Town-hall, to our infinite annoyance and disgust. At
length, when we burst the door open, and are likely to take
summary means to eject them and establish ourselves in
their place, they very coolly, like the Irishmen aforesaid,
offer us satisfaction according to their own notions. Their
ideas on the subject are—that we should forget everything
they have done, regard neither religious nor political diffe-
rences of opinion, and all pack together in the Council,• as
if Toryism had never been, nor ever played its pranks be-
fore our face. " This," we reply, " will be all as it should
be by and by ; but we are not upon equal terms yet ; we
must first have our shot at you through the keyhole, and
then, if you like, gentlemen, we have no objection to the
millenium which you promise."--Liverpool Albion.
HAT FIELD-HousE, TUESDAY.—The search con-
tinues, and some additional discoveries have been made,
consisting of a few diamonds, some pearls, and one or two
other stones of value. The coroner visited the ruins in the
course of the day, but they were not visited by any other
persons. No Jury has yet been summoned; it is therefore
doubtful whether the, inquest will take place to-morrow.
Mr. Mardell, the steward, has gone to London to take the
commands of the Noble Marquis as to further proceedings.
expected here tomorrow evening.

NEW MAIL TO LONDON.—The inhabitants of
Halifax and Huddersfield are stirring themselves for the
establishment of a direct mail coach from the former place
to the metropolis. It will pass through Sheffield about
twelve o'clock at noen, which would effect the saving of an
entire post in replying to a London letter. Surely this is
worth an effort, and we hope the merchants and manufac-
turers of this town and neighbonrhood will unite with those
of Halifax and Huddersfield in carrying it into effect. Not
a moment should be lost in memorializing the Postmaster-
General on the subject.-,-Shestfieki Iris.•
