LONDON, TUESDAY. JUNE 24, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Five.

The Marquis of NORMANDY, drew their Lordships' at-
tention to the fact that the Bishop of LONDON, who had
signed the protest against the third reading of the May-
nooth Bill, had not been present at the time the question
on the third reading of the Bill had been put.
The Bishop of LONDON apologised for his inadvert-
ence, and withdrew his name from the protest.
Lord STANLEY refused to accede to the request of the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY to postpone the second read-
ing of the Landlords and Tenants (Ireland) Bill.
In answer to the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Earl
of DALHOUSIE explained the practice of the Board of
Trade, with regard to reports of accidents on railways.
The Small Debts Bill was read a second time, after
a short discussion.

The Duke of RICHMOND, at the request of several
Noble Lords, postponed the Scotch Toll-bar Bill, until
Friday.

The Charitable Trust 3 Bill passed through Committee.
The Earl of RIPON moved the second reading of the
Scotch Banking Bill.
The Earl of RADNOR considered the Bill as an unne-
cessary interference with the system of banking in
Scotland.

The House was subsequently addressed by Lord
KINNAIRD and the Earl of DALHOUSIE, and the Bill was
read a second time, ar_cl ordered to be committed on
Thursthy.

The Bills 'on the table were forwarded a stage, and
their Lordships adjourned.
The House of Commons met at Four.
The second reading of the Scottish University Bill
was postponed to Wednesday, 9th of July,
In answer to Mr. W. 0. STANLEY,
Si: G. CLERK stated that Gen. PASLEY had reported
that the Lite accident on the Great Western Railway
had occurred through the tgo.greataavaeitiyeCtirk,*l-,,,
light van, with only four wheels instead of six; that those
defects had been remedied, and that there was no chance
of a similar accident occurring.
Mr. Sergeant MURPHY then explained the cause of
the loss of the Common Law Process Bills. He had
washed his hands of the Bills, and they had been com-
mitted to the charge of the Hon. Member for Ciren-
cester. With regard to the charge which had been made
against him of yielding to the dictation of Mr. O'CON-
NELL, he would say that he never had, and that he never
would, as a Member of Parliament, yield to the dictation
of.any one.

Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to Mr. S. CRAWFORD, said
it was not his intention to press the Law of Settle-
ment Bill this session, but as there was no objection to
that part of it which related to the law of removal, he
hoped that that part of it might be permitted to be read
a second time.

On the motion that the House do resolve itself into
Committee on the Academical Education (Ireland) Bill,
after a few preliminary observations from Sir JAMES
GRAHAM and Lord JOHN RUSSELL,
Lord MAHON moved that it be an instruction to the
Committee that provision be made for the religious in-
struction of the pupils from lecture-fees, until such time
as provision should be made for such instruction by pri-
vate benefactions.

Mr. WYSE seconded the motion. The House was then
addressed by Mr. J. O'CONNELL, Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr.
Escorr, Mr. ComiutiorN, Sir R. PEEL, and Mr. O'CoN-
NELL, after which a division took place, and the propo-
sition of Lord Memos was negatived by a majority
of 140.

If anything were wanting to show the absurdity of
appointing theological professors in the colleges
about to be established in Ireland, that defect was sup-
plied by the speeches in the Commons last night. The
advocates for what is called " Godly education," have
some vague idea that learning is useless unless religion,
or rather peculiar dogmas of certain sects, be inculcated
at the same time ; but not one of the speakers could
point out any feaaible plan for the accomplishment of
such a purpose in classes consisting of Catholics, Pro-
testant Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Wesleyans, and
many others which it is needless to enumerate. We
certainly expected something from Mr. O'CONNELL
to remove the difficulty. Ile had made long
and violent speeches in Ireland against the
" gigantic scheme of Godless education," concurring
almost to the letter with Sir ROBERT INGus in his de-
nunAation cf the Ministerial plan; but when he comes
to England, and is expected to rise in his place in the
House of Commons, and make good his accusations—when
we expect to hear the two Arcadians, the Catholic and
the Protestant, sing together the same strains, and abso-
lute]: annihilate the wicked scheme, and with it the god-
less Ministry by their harmonious music—woful is the
disappointment. They fall foul of each other at the
first onset, and get up a very nice quarrel about one
GALILEO, who lived some hundred years ago, and
Porget, in the heat of the argument, the very feature
of the Bill to which they had raised insur-
mountable objections. This is a forerunner of
what might be expected in a college where half
a score of religions are to be taught. While professing
to seek truth—" in academia qucerere verum"—they
would seek only religious qaarrels, and these new
schools, instituted for taming the savage mind and in-
structing youth in the great principles of science and
moral philosophy, would become arenas for re-

ligious battles, and be speedily destroyed by
the bigoted combatants. When Mr. O'CONNELL
condescended to allude to his objections, he
did it in the most cursory and contradictory manner.
" I believe," said he, " the English people will not sanc-
tion the Godless scheme," but does Mr. O'CONNELL ima-
gine for a moment that they would sanction his scheme ?
Has the furious outcry raised against Maynooth not con-
♦inced him of the fact ? Would English Protestants,
and above all, English Dissenters, submit to be taxed
far teaching a religion which the more active party
among them call " idolatrous and damnable ?" And
does he really believe that he can convince these refrac-
tory religionists of the necessity of such a clause in the
Bill, by telling them that the Catholic prelates insist upon
it, and that they consider the educational scheme of the
Government as dangerous to faith and morality ? On the
contrary, he lays before the English public the very
strongest objection to the measure, and he knows, or he
ought to know, that if Sir R. )PEEL had proposed any-
thing of the kind as a continuation to the Maynooth
Bill, he and his party would absolutely have

• been overwhelmed— buried alive with petitions
from all parts of the country. Lord MARoN's
scheme is equally preposterous. That Noble
Lord proposed that there should be two theolo-
gical professors in each of the colleges in the Catholic
parts of Ireland, and only one—a Presbyterian— for
the province of Ulster. But there are vast num-
bers of Catholics in Ulster. Are their souls to
go for nothing ? Are their faith and morality
to be undermined to please the fantasies of half-fledged
Senators ? Does Lord IglertoN believe for a moment
that the English people would agree to his scheme for
the south and west, or the Catholic prelates sanction
it in Ulster ? Never was there such a wild, unmeaning
rage as this about religious education in universities.
In the universities of England religion is made a
party badge, not a principle of morals or of faith,
and in Scotland no religion whatever is taught. And we
ask Mr. O'CONNELL whence is all this new zeal, this new
dread for the existence of a faith which he and his friends,
the Catholic prelates, believe to be from above and
eternal ? We are old enough to remember the
time when no such fears existed, when shoals
of Irish Catholic students flocked to Edin-
burgh and Glasgow, listened with filial piety to
the lectures, and witnessed the demonstrations of such
heretics as Murino and CULLEN, and HOPE and
GREGORY, yet they returned as good Catholics
as ever, and helped not a little to div emi-
nate knowledge, civilization, and the arts of
peace among their more rude countrymen. There
is another cause besides religion for objecting to
this amalgamation of young men, and Mr. O'Colstrima.
makes no secret of it. He will have no communion with
the Saxon race—he will rear up a people that abjure the
very name, and establish Ireland as a separate State, and
entirely detached from Great Britain, because she is now
able to act for herself. These are all the very best ar-
guments that could be urged in favour of this " gigantic
scheme of Godless education."

We have on more than one occasion received com-
plaints as to the slovenly mode in which the business of
the South-Western Railway is conducted. Indeed we
have been ourselves painful witnesses of its extreme irre-
gularity as to time, and not unfrequently as to the indif-
ference of nartiaq civu than
common. Surely this is not the way to conciliate
public esteem and promote the interests not of the Com-
pany alone, but of the shareholders at large. Where rests
the fault ? It cannot be with the Directors, for they are
often not personally present. But we do think that it is
the duty of men who take a responsibility on themselves,
to see that what they have undertaken to perform
should be done, if not by themselves, at least by com-
petent deputies. Who regulates the hours of departure
and arrival on the South-Western ? And if they engage
to convey passengers from point to point in a given
time, why do they not perform the contract ? Are
they independent of public opinion for non-per-
formance of their duty, merely because they
fancy individuals cannot cope with a strong Com-
pany, having a monopoly of the road ? If they indulge
in such delusion, we would warn them not to rely too
much or too long on such presumption. With the public,
as with individuals, time is money ; and if the South-
Western take pay for not performing their engagements,
they not only wrongfully take the people's money, but their
time also. In another column will be found a short
letter complaining of a delay of three-quarters of
an hour in performing a journey of only seventy-eight
miles, at a time of day the most important to com•
mercial men ! Surely the T.Arectors cannot be cognisant
of these grievances, and, yet we are assured such delays
are frequent. If this system be long persisted-in com-
petition must step in, and remedy the evil.

The:Madrid Gazette of the 16th contains a dispatch from the
Captain-General of Catalonia, announcing that:CABRERA, the
notorious Carlist General, with his Aide•de-camp, had been
seized by the French police, near Narbonne, while attempting
to make his escape, in a fishing-boat, to the Spanish coast, in
order to raise a rebellion against the existing dynasty. In
consequence of this event a circular Was been addressed, by
order of her MAJESTY, to all the provincial authorities, com
manding them to watch the machinations of the enemies of
public repose, and to repress their attempts with all the se-
verity of the law, as being contrary to the lawful rights of
the QUEEN and to the Constitution of the State. The Gazette
also publishes a royal ordonance, dated Barcelona, the 9th,
sectioning a loan of 15 000,000 reels (150,000/. ), for the con-
struction of public roads.
On the 16th the Three per Cents. closed. at 311/.1 for cash,
and 32 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 22 at 60 days;
and the Debt without Interest at 6 13-16 at 60 days.

The discussion ill the French Chamber of Deputies on the
state of the navy was continued till the close of the sitting of
Saturday, and adjourned till Monday. In the course of the
debate the Minister of Marine was repeate(lly attacked by
Opposition Members for his neglect of the navy. These
Members, however, it must be admitted, are fully supported
in their statements by the report of the Committee on the
Marine Budget made to the Chamber. _ r'Fatat.....repttvt-
► "poses in case of awar, as will be ,seen from; the following
extract :—":In placing urideryour eyes the comparative posi-
tion of the effective force of the navy according to law, and
the real effective afloat and in our dockyards, you will be
struck, as we were, with the state of our feeble resources for
future events ; that is to say of our ships on the stocks ; of
the little progress that has been made in their construction,
and of the absence of that reserve which had been provided
for by the royal ordinance of the Ist of February, 1837.
What effect would be produced were we to state in
figures the real amount and condition of our ships
afloat ? This is a fit time to observe that it is not the quan-
tity, but the quality, which ought to be sought for ; but we
shall not expose the miserable condition of our navy. We
appeal to the Ministers, and we call on them to hasten the
moment when our sailing and steam navy shall have attained
its natural peace establishment, regulated by two acts of the
Legislature. If the French nation be satisfied to hold a very
inferior rank amongst the maritime nations of the world, let
her remain as she is ; but if she wishes to hold the elevated
rank which she has ever occupied, let her impose some sacri-
fices upon herself, for we declare, with regret, that to remain
in our present position would be to condemn ourselves volun-
tarily to impotency."
If this report is well founded, M. LACROSSE was fully jus-
tified in making the following motion—" That at the opening
of the session of 1846, a special and detailed account shall
be distributed to the Chamber of the naval conscription, the
condition of the crews of the line, the ships of the fleet, the
stores in the- arsenals, and the ships on the stocks." An
animated discussion took place on this motion, and M.
BILLAULT gave additional life to it by moving as an ap-
pendix to it that the return should also show " our means for
attacking the neighbouring coast." " The question is," said
he," the defence of our own coasts against attaeltafrom sailing-
vessels, as well as steam-vessels. It includes also the attack
of the neighbouring coasts by the same means (rattaque des
cotes voisinespar les manes moyens). That is what we ought
to discuss seriously." The remark was cheered by the Left.
Admiral MACKAU protested against such a proposition. He
could understand what was meant by making preparations
for defending the French coast, but he certainly could not
comprehend what the Hon. Member meant by malting pre-
parations for attacking their neighbours. Sir C. NAPIER'S
speeches in Parliament have evidentlyroused the slumbering
spirit of the war party. The Committee on the budget of re-
ceipts had recommended the adoption of a uniform system
of postage like that in England. The Finance Minister
had announced his intention to take the subject into consi-
deration for next session.
No business was done in the Funds at Tortoni's on Sunday.

PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSES.—Last night the fourth
anniversary meeting of the subscribers to the fund for erecting
Almshouses for the reception of aged and infirm printers, was held
in the Theatre of the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton-build-
ings, Chancery lane. Luke James Hansard, Esq., was unani.
mously voted to the chair; and after addressing the meeting,
called on the Secretary to read the report of the Committee. It
appeared that the affairs of the institution were in a satisfactory
state, and that the object the Committee wished to see accom-
plished would at no distant day be realized. It was urged as an
objection to the fund, that it tended to impair the parent Associa-
tion, the Printers' Pension Society, but the Committee considered
that objection groundless, the receipts of the latter being greatly in.
creased during the last four years. In order to obtain a larger
amount of interest for the funded property, and to guard against
any contingencies that might occur, it had been deemed advisable
to enrol the institution. The amount of subscriptions received
since the last annual meeting was 3551., tusking, with the sum
previously in hand, a total of 1,4651. The announcement made
in the report that Luke James Hansard, Esq., had presented 501.,
Mr. Clowes 211., and that many of the large printing-offices had
subscribed liberally, was received with much applause. On the
motion of Mr. Lee, the report was adopted ; after which several
resolutions were passed, one of which was to memorialize the Sta-
tioners' Company for a grant of money. The meeting then voted
thanks to the Chairman and broke up.
SALE OF THE NAPOLEON MUSEUM.—Yesterday
the sale of the first portion of the collection known as the Napoleon
Musem, was commenced by Messrs. Christie and Manson, at the
Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly. Mr. Christie, the auctioneer, said that
although Mr. Sainsbury had expended literally a fortune in getting
this important and interesting collection together, there was no
reservation. The sale of this portion will last four days. Yester-
day the number of lots disposed of was 112, but the prices they
fetched were about one-fourth their real value. Among the bronzes
an infantine bug of the King of Rome. by Jeannett, formerly
in the possession of Josephine at Malmaison, for which Mr.
Sainsbury gave twenty guineas, was knocked down for it. 10s.
The original eagle belonging to the Imperial Guard, and used at
the Adieu de Fontainebleau. 31. 17s. This was also bought at
Mr. Hamlet's sale at a cost of 15 guineas. A silver plate with
the Imperial arms on the border, used by Napoleon at St. Helena,
and brought from there by Count de las Cases, 51. In addition
to the above, there were sold 20 beautiful enamels by Lienard,
of Napoleon, Marshal Ney, Berthier, Junot, Joseph Buonaparte
Lucien, Louis, and Jerome Buonaparte, Murat, Caroline, youngest
sister of Napoleon. Cardinal Fesch, Marie Louise, &c., which
cost Mr. Sainsbury 400 guineas, the amount they realised being
but 761. Among the orders sold, one of the Order of the Iron
Crown of Italy, presented by Napoleon to Marshal Ney, sold
for 21. 4s.

The experiment of offering tea at public sale in single
chests, so as to enable the retail dealers to buy first hand,
was attempted yesterday, and will be repeated, although, as
usual in these cases, the first step involves loss upon those
who take it. The teas offered were not of a character toat-
tract the more substantial traders, consequently the greater
part was taken for exportation, but the system of
offering in small lots, being approved of by a large class of
town and country buyers, another sale of a superior class of
teas is contemplated, to test the system on a more extended
scale. The Pouchong went at 4d., the Assam at 3d. to 4d.,
and the finer sorts at Is. to Is. Id. ; the Hyson Skin
at 3d. to 31/2cl, Young Hyson at 6d, Pekoe at
51,4 d to 6d, Congou at 5d per lb, all in bond.
These were very favourable terms for the purchasers,
and we should think would have the effect of attract-
ing an increased number, as even if the grocers are so far
under the thumb of the wholesale houses and brokers as not

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
The anticipations of those who stated that when the Home
Secretary put down gambling on race-courses he would inflict a
heavy blow and great discouragement on the races themselres,
have not been realised. Every one must recollect the excitement
created by Sir James Graham's memorable edict against the con-
tinuance of those sylvan temples of chance, where many a man,
who before never had the opportunity of seeing the fascinating
but destructive games of hazard or rouge et noir in full operation.
suddenly imbibed a taste for them, which often led to the ruin of
himself and his family. "As well put down racing altogether,"
urged some parties, "as do away with the play-booths—Ascot's
fame will only live in history ; Hampton, too, will fade in its glory ;
jockies may as well turn to some other trade ; and Mr. Justice
Clarke retire from his judicial seat." 'But the real lovers of the
.turf said they felt assured nothing could be more con-
ducive to the interests of the Sporting World than that this
salutary reform should be carried into effect, because
then many would subscribe to the different race.grounds in their
neighbourhood who formerly withheld their subscriptions on the
ground that they were contributing to an immoral and dangerous
amusement. And what has been the result of Sir James Graham's
measure ? Why, it has indisputably benefited instead of injured
the turf. The subscriptions of those who fortherly would not
countenance the meetings where play was carried on now fully
come up to the amount derived from the letting of those canvass
club-houses. I have been led to make these remarks from the fact
of the late Ascot and Hampton meetings, which were said to be
almost destroyed, having passed off with so much eclat. At the
former we had an almost unprecedented week's sport, while the
character of the latter meeting was most materially improved.
Horses of a better stamp than usual found their way there, time
was well observed, and no pulling visible. The Gold Cup, as I
fancied, went to Ninety-one, a winner the previous day at
Birmingham.

The Surrey and Middlesex brought eleven to the post in very
good style. Of this lot, the only four I thought and mentioned
had the slightest chance were placed by the judge. Pineapple, I
thought, would have beaten all of this small lot, but Misdeal,
whose running for the Suffolk I called the attention of my readers
to, managed to beat him a length.
In the Corinthian Stakes Arcanus would not run a yard.
The Strawberry-hill Stakes was a capital race for platen, and
each heat was well contested.

For the Hurst Cup old Fama ran exceedingly stout, and was
^-,shrat-wdir'fier* majesty's Plate, after as fine a race as ever was
seen with Patchwork, a mare that has some running about her.
In the Claremont Stakes, Trenn, to the astonishment of his
friends, occupied the first place in the race instead of the second.
In the Handicap the Queen of the Gipsies, the celebrated op..
ponent of Semiseria at Newmarket, made a sad exhibition of the
field.

The rapidity with which meeting succeeds meeting, both in the
north and south of England, give the racing man very few leisure
hours.

The Newcastle week commences this day, with a very Won,
programme.

The Produce Stakes has seven subscribers, and from the mediocre
performances of the animals engaged in it, will be reduced, I should
think, to a match between As you Like it and Midlothian, and
won by the latter.

The North Derby will be a most interesting race, as it will
bring out Mentor, much fancied by his party for the Epsom Derby
Midlothian, a good public performer; Fitzallen, the Chester lion ;
and Yellow Boy, a decent colt, that has got his head in front on
one or two previous occasions. Collier may also show. Of this
lot 1 expect to see at the post Mentor first and Midlothian second.
On Tuesday we have the Northern Oaks, destined for Marian
Ramsay.

The Hunters' Stakes will furnish a good race, and will be won,
I imagine, by Lara. Netherton Maid for this race ought to run
forward, as she won three recut the week before last in a very re.
spectable manner.

The Queen's Plate Trueboy should win, and will win, if his
temper is undisturbed; the only horse that seems to have a chance
with him is Jinglepot.

On Wednesday, in the Gateshead Lottery Stakes, as Pantama
beat Mentor so far, it is but' fair to imagine I.e will beat biro here
again.

The Great Northumberland Plate—the race of the meeting—
will be certain, out of this ty.tree acceptances to it, to bring out a
large field. Dawson's lot, consisting of the Best of Three, Inheri-
tress, Lightning, Godfrey, What, Northumberland, and the Flags-
mean filly have been, as may be imagined, heavily supported. Hes-
seltine has Pedometer, Merry Andrew, Portobello, and Mai ian
Ramsay, and each of these have been supported at times. I will
now take a glimpse at the "doings" of the various animals. In-
heritress, the mare I fancied wou:d have won the Ascot Stakes
(first class) has, upon the strength of her only being beaten a neck
for that race, been elevated to the first place in the
betting. She is very well in, and if in form, must
beat everything in the race except Lightning, whose chance, I
think, first-rate. The reader may, perhaps, not recollect that last
year this horse, with 6st 51b, ran second to Foig.a-ballagh for the
Cesarewitch Stakes, beating twenty-four others, and as the pace in
that race was first.rate, his performances ought to be looked upon
most favourably. Pagan is too uncertain a horse to recommend
being backed; one day he runs exceedingly well, and on another he
cannot be got to go a yard. His best performance was his running
second to the Era for the Liverpool Cup last year, giving him 51b.
I should not be surprised to see him either first or last, so dubious
is his running. The Queen of the Tyne meets a very different
field to that she met at Gorhambury, and I cannot fancy her
chance good for much. Portobello, I think the best of
Heseltine's lot, and from the weight put upon him
I have sangnine hopes of seeing him very near winning. His Cat.
terich running, where he beat Inheritress and Trueboy, should
not be forgotten. Coheiress will only, I should think, hurt her
friends. Cataract, Crikey Billy, Brevity, Little Hampton, and
Peter the Hermit, may swell the field, but will never Humber the
winner among them; and I cannot fancy anybody will be found to
trust Semiseria for a sixpence. The bubble respecting this mare
has at length burst. Major Yarburgh's Little John, from being
in the same stable with Miss Sarah, and having only 4st 4lb on hire,
has been made responsible for some small sum, and I conceive his
chance to be a very moderate one. In conclusion, I think I shall
stand upon Lightning to catch the judge first, and fancy Inheri-
tress or Portobello will be the next two in the race; while coming
to this opinion, I am ignorant which Mr, Meiklam will declare to
win with ; and I must say, that only Portobello can apparently
deprive him of this splendid stake.
For the Corporation Stakes Freeman appears to have the best
chance, and next to him Lara.

The Tyne Stakes has sixteen subscribers, and the only animal that
has appeared in public is the Minstrel Boy.
For the Gold Cup Annandale looks extremely well, and if he
can beat Pagan, should win the race.
