between man anti his Creator alone. No Govern-
ment, therefore, had a right to interfere in the
Jo the betweenexe r-
exercise of these duties. Governments were not
constituted for any such purpose. They were
organised to manage the secular affairs of the
country=to administer justice between man anti
man, and to protect men from external in-
jury. But when Government interfered with
matters of religion they trespassed on that
which was out of their sphere. They might
Just as well take upon themselves to legislate about
the tid-s, or anything that is completely under the
exclusive control of God alone, as to pretend to
legislate with ri view to the 'advancement of reli-
gion. Mr. Miall strongly condemened the views
of those who were anxious that the opponents of
church-rates should provide a substitute for them,
and expressed his conviction that the best substi-
tute that could be offered for this unjuQt impost
would be found in the general sympathies of Church-
men themselves. Churchmen should feel that the
Establishment was dependent upon their individual
support, and not upon Government aid ; and they
would soon show- that they possessed the power,
not only to preserve the Church in its present effi-
ciency, but to' place it in a position of far great.,r
strength and usefulness. After making one or two
remarks on the Jewish disabilities, which, be said,
were a disgrace to the country, the howiurable
gentleman :cams to the third point, which has
reference to our relations towards our colonial
dependencie t, and in regard •to this question he
said that it was impossible to forbear entering
upon the c insideration of that lamentable occur-
rence which hid recently,ta,ken place in the East—
the mil:tiry mutiny of the Sepoys, by which our
fellow-countrytuen who wer thinly scattered over
that country, hadl-en expose.] to the greate-t atro-
cities that t' e eye could witness, and had never
been excelled -in 'the iinrialsof ourcountry. With all
his heart and soul he woultl express his fervid syni--

quired.

- From other sneakers it appeared that Vim

patty fir those who had been expo,,ed t) wrong
and but •he,ry. They had endured priva:ion and gut-
tering with admirable firmness, and had oppo-ed
w•th a bold and determined front the efforts of the
mutineers, which were evidently d;reeted to h.-, pull-
inv, down of the power of this country in India.
With the relatives of those who had thus fallen he
begged to express his deep and earnest sympathy ;
and whatever - might be necessary for the Govern-.
m-nt to do to master this rebellion, to crush it out, to
dissipata all the elernen s of it to the wind, though it
might ho by the sacrifice of much pro; erty, an
each individual in this country might be called
upon to contribute far more largely than his circum-
stances would allow, yet he would render to the
Government all the aid he could afford in order to
procure the re-establishment of order, law, and
British supremacy in India, because he believed
that the interests of the 200,000,000 souls com-
mitted to us by God's providence to govern in that
empire were identical with the maintenance of that
law, order, and British supremacy. But while he
Said thus much he did not think that our duty to
that courrry would be fully and adequately per-
formed when we put down the parties who were
n-ow struggling against our authority. He took a
deep interest in the measure which was passedsotne
time since for the government of that country, and

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.
THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.

The sittings of the several section 3 were brooght
to a close yesterday, and this morning some of the
mfmbere of the association left Dublin en route by
rail and sea to the Isles of Arran, ou the coast of
Galway. At three o'c1o:1 on Wednesday all the
leeling members assembled for th.e last time in the
new Museum, Trinity College, when the general
secretary was called upon to make a s'atetnent o(
the re:omnieadations which the comalitte,3 had
made for the prosecution of scientific researches and
the grants of money which it had orderel for their
support :

" General Sabine accordingly came forward and said it
might be convenient to divide the recommendations of
the committee into two classes— the first consisting of
those objects for which grants of money were to be
made ; and, secondly, the recommendations :or rep its
upon particular subjects which did not involve the neces-
sity if any expenditure of the funds which had been re-
ceived in Dublin to we rds the furtherance of the society's
labours in the year to come. Different sums had been
,tted as follows Ooservatory, 5001 ; R.
Nfellet, Experiments on Earthquake Waves, 50/. ;
Wright, Dredging the West Coast of Ireland, 10/. ;
Keddie, Vegetable Imports into Scotland, 10/. ; Have-
law, Typical Forme of Mueentn, 101. ; lllilee, Dredging
West Coast of Scotland, 251....eL8e11, Report on Anne
iilu,-
-25/.; Danbeny, • Vitaiity 51. to. ; DaCe-
neny, Growth of Plants, 10/. ; Meehan, Dredge near
Dublin, 10/. ; Patters •n, Dredgiew North Coazt of Ire-
land, 201.; Rennie, Production ot Heat, 201.; Thomson,
Diectieree of Water, 10/. ; Maskelyne, Photography,
10/. ; Voeloker, Manures, 251. ; Sullivan, Salts, 201.
The aggregate amount of these grants was 780/. 55., and
when the estimated expenditure for the text year
was deducted from the sum which the association
had received from the present meeting a balance
of about 900/. would remain. (Loud applause.)
General Sal.,ine then proceeded to read the recommenda-
tions of the a onmittee for which pecuniary grants were
not required. These were to the effect that reports should
he .seught from members on the following subjects of
interest ;—Odling—Organic Chemistry ; Haughton—
Composition of Rocks ; Oldham—Geology of India ;
Ha Play—Famine of Ireland ; Andrews—Fishes in the
West Coast of Ireland ; Greene—Discoid Medusre ; Ki-
nahan—Crustaoea of Dublin Bay. Directions ha lealso
been given to have the fel!owing papers printed :
Plarr—Ou some ,Transformations, &e.. • Schlagentweit
—Observations on India ; Barlow—On Suspension
Bridges ; Vigeoles—Oa ditto Hargreaves—On Alge-
braic couples ; Grubb—Oe TeleAcopes. Gen. Sable()
then proceeded to read the recommendation of the gene-
ral committee upon subjects of general scientific interest.
The first was as follows ;—Resolved, "That it is of
ovat importance to the progress of science that the
magnetic observations that have been established with
the sanction of Government in many colonies, aLd have
already added so much t our knowledge of chemistry
and magnetism, should be c ietinued ; and that, the
association considering it desirable for the attainment of
these objects to obtain the c i-operation of the
Royal Soctety, a committee be oppointed, consisting of
the President, Rev. Dr. Robinson, and General Sabine,
for that purpose, and to take in conjunction with them
such steps as shall be thought necessary, including, if
it be thought desirable, an application to Parliament.
That an application be made to Government to send an
expedition to the Mackenzie River to explore the
magnetic phenomena with special reference to magnetic
st 'rms. Lord Wrottesley and Dr. Robinson be re-
quested to express to the Board of Trade the desire-
Ileness of establishing anemometrical observations in
the islands of the Atlantic. The next recommendation
was one that he was sure the meeting, more particu-
larly that portion of it which had listened to the inte-
resting lecture of Dr. Livingstone, would hear with
great satisfaction—it was—' That the president be re-
quested with other gentletn .n to apply to Government
to send an expedition to explore the Zaniness River,
with the view of entering the interior of Africa by
that route.' " (Applause.).

he was then, as now, and as he had always been,
impressed with the fact that for a commercial com-
pany to govern 200,000,000 people in order to make
them pay wos impolitic and unjust in the highest
degree. He b-lieved that that system niust be all
put an eed to. The native army at Bengal had
been utterly destroyed. It was organised and main-
tained for the purpose of securing to this country its
c ,nquests. It never had any interest fur the coun-
try over which it was scattered, but now that this
army was no more he thought it 'behoved us—and
this was one of the solemn questions that members
of Parliament would be called upon to consider in
the next -or ensuing sessions—to re-organise the
government of our Indian possessions. For his own
part, be was firmly persuaded that these posses-
sions should be placed under the government of the
Crown, and that the Ministry of the day should be
sponsible to the country for the proper adminis-
tration of the affairs of our Eastern possessions.
Whatever might be the cost—and they must take
care that individual interests did not suffer by our
general legislation—the East India Company ought
to cease, and ought no longer to b 3 permitted to
have any t hi ng to do with thegovernment of the East
'Alt the management of affairs be transferred to the
responsible officers of the Crown ; let them maintain
such a mili ary force as was necessary to keep in
orderthe populationof that region. Let them divert
the taxes from the native army to the develope-
intuit of the resources of one of the most magni-
ficent provinc•cs of God's earth—try to mete out
those measures of justice to which they were entlf ed,
and we might depend upon it that iir this instance
we should find that the rule of right was thesrule of
profit, and that, so far as our c, mmercial interests
were concerned, they would never be so prosperous
as wl.en the people of England determined that
justice should be done to Indie (Applause.) These
were the pi incipk s by which he should be guided
if it should be his good fortune to be returned as a
member for that borough. They were the principles
by which be had been guided hitherto. He pro-
fessed not to be exempted from infirmities more
than any other people, or to be more free from
those political passions which found a pl ice in the
breasts of t ther men. He had always endeavoured
t dis(thar4e his duty conscientiously and honestly.
He could truly say that in Parliament this had
been his constant aim, and lie thought ho could re-
fer with confidence to the constituency which he
had recently represented, and which, according to
constitutional principles, he ought now to repre-
sent, and he thought he could promise that
constituency, in case he should be elected, that any
profession he had made he should endeavour con-,
s&entiously to carry out to the best of his ability.
They were not engaging adversaries, but only sup-
porting ct rtain principles which they believed to be
right, and which they desired to assert. As he un-
derstood the question, they desired to send to the
House of Cemmons those whom they considered
would best represent them, in order that they might
express their se•itiments during the settlement of
those great political questions which would come
before the Legislature. Such being their object,
they could assert those principles without violence,
and, although there might be some difference of
political feeling, be, for one, professed, and he
doubted not that those on the other side hid the
same, an earnest desire that the electors of that
borough shou'd not be influenced by party mo'ivee,
much less by mean or unworthy motives, but by
high public consideration, by judgment, discretion,
and common sense, and by all those qualities that
went to make up a valuable and in' elligent politi-
cal constituency. (Loud applause.) If they de-
cided, in the exercise of those qualities, that he was
not the man to represent them he would most con-
tentedly bow to their decision ; but if they decided
that he was wor hy of their suffrages, then he should
endeavour most earnestly and honestly to perform
the duties which they had intrusted to him. In
whatever way the decision might be made, whether
they chose him or the relative of his hon. friend
behind him (Mr. F. C. Hastings Russell, M.P. for
Bedfordshire), he would say this, that they deserved
to have an opportunity of exercising their freedom,
and he appeared there almost exclusively with a
view of affording them that opportunity.
The hon. candidate sat down amid loud cheers.
A resolution in favour of Mr. Wall was then put
to the meeting, and was carried almost unani-
mously.

The following aPprepriate proceedings took place
in Trinity College :

"An Autumn Commencement' was hell in the Ex-
amination-ball of Trinity College yesterJay, for the first
