THE SUN, LON DON, WEDNES DA I MORN I N(,„

' occurred to him that the radical vice of these was, that
for the very extended frontage of the river terrace they
were altogether too small. It never occurred to him
that since capacious arches to a capacious bridge thrown
over a capacious river are necessary, as well as con-
venient for an extensive traffic between the Court,
end of the metropolis and one of its most
important suburbs, and between the frontiers of
two metropolitan counties ; therefore it might be of
less consequence that his arches should look too small,
than that the arches of the bridge should be too small.
2dly, Mr. BARRY proposed, if he could succeed in per-
suading Parliament to remove the present bridge, to
build another, in which he would " reform" the incon-
gruity of a Roman-like looking approach to a Gothic
edifice, by making the arches of the pointed mediaeval
style, and keeping down their span to dimensions
more approximate to his own loop-hole porches. This
was all very pleasant, hut, fortunately, it was too prepos-
terous for the gullibility of these facile authorities—
Commissioners, or howsoever named—who had already
permitted him to indulge such extravagant vagaries as
the infringing, we know not how many scores of feet,
upon the waterway of the river, and the blocking up
two arches of the bridge on the Westminster shore. In
the same spirit, and with far greater success., he has "re-
formed," as we have over and again remarked, the de-
signs he was bound to follow, after being settled and
sanctioned by a Committee of Parliament, by adding a
new gallery, to the utter spoiling of his own original
design, and at a cost of somewhere between 100,0001-
and 200,0001. to the public.

The Earl of LINCOLN, a reformer of lands as they are,
cannot away with commons nor waste lands, nor

,yights of common and manor. He is for inclosing them
wherever he can find them—and all, wonderful to state,
with no other object than to benefit the poor. He would
take from them the power of recreation ar.d healthful
amusement—all for their good, poor souls ! He would
preclude the toil-worn artisan, the laborious smith, the
loom-wearied weaver, from all chance of an occasional
revel in fresh air and invigorating exercise, in order to
reform their habits of enjoyment, we presume. Yet still,
the Noble Lord may err honestly—he may be mistaken.
He may purpose disinterestedly that which his reform-
ing legislation will accomplish oppressively. No such
plea surely can Mr. BARRY set up for some of his ca-
prices. He might as well plead his modesty as his excuse
for them. And this brings us back to the paragraph
with a notice of which we set Oat. We will repeat it.
" WESTMINSTER HALL—Scaffolding has been erected for
some time against the gable of this ancient building in Old
Palace-yard, for the purpose, it is said, of removing it alto-
gether ; and, of course, along with it the magnificent gothic
window so universally admired."

Can this be true, even of Mr. BARRY If it be, may
cramp seize his sacrilegious hands who first dares to
remove a stone of that venerable gable. Remove that

noble window, through whose sculptured casement the
light' of nearly eight centuries has streamed into the
noblest Hall to be found in Europe, hallowed by all the
grandest'associations of the Norman and Saxon Chivalry,

which rallied round the peerless model of true Knight-
hood, the much maligned Rufus. That very window
which has witnessed so many regal and baronill

..•
pageants, where the elevated dais lain imme-
diately under it in by-gone ages of fierce wars and
faithful loves, " when high-born beauty smiled" on the
festal throng of heroes, who had fought at Cressy or at
Agincourt, or on occasions of more masculine and stern
solemnity, the aspiring eye of a scion of Lancaster glared
defiance through his steel-barred vizor at a son of York—
where Plantagenets havejudged, and Tudors have feaster'''.
But let Mr. BARRY experimentalise on the patience of the
Lords and the Commons,— the forbearance ofthe one and
the purse-strings of the other—as long as they will
permit him. lie must not be permitted to indulge his
Vandalism, his presumption ; and, if this rumour be
true, we denounce him for both offences—by the spolia-
tion of national property invested with a sort of historic
holiness. His touch her. is desecration. We protest
against it ; and we trust that the public voice will au-
thoritatively forbid it, and signally indicate its displea-
sure at such an attempt.

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 on Monday. 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 feasible 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. He had made long
and violent speeches in Ireland agamst the
" gigantic scheme of Godless education," concurring
almost to the letter with Sir ROBERT INGEis in his de-
nunciation of 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-
lutely 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
forget, 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'CoNNELE ima-
gine for a moment that they would sanction his scheme ?
Has the furious outcry raised against Maynooth not con-
vinced him of the fact ? Would English Protestants,
and above all, English Dissenters, submit to be taxed
for 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 MAHON believe for a moment
that the English people would agree to his scheme fur
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 MuNno and CULLEN, and HOPE and
GREGORY, yet they returned as good Catholics
as ever, and helped not a little to disf emi

• 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 ergage
to convey passengers from point to point in a given
time, why do they not perform the con•rect ? Are
they independent of public opinion for non-per-
formance of their duty, merely beee.use they
fancy individuals cannot cope with a strong Coin
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 notperfortning 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 perfornalt.,?; a journey of only seventy-eight
miles, at a time of day the most .important to com-
mercial men ! Surely the Directors cannot be cognisant
of these grievances, and yet we are assured such delays
.ire frt•qaent. If this system be long persisted in com-
petition must step in, and remedy the evil.

The:2lladrid Gazette of the 16th contains a dispatch from the
Captain-General of Catalonia, announcing that,CAmiEnA, the
notorious CarIPA. General, -rn ith 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 has 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,
sactioning a loan of 15 000,000 reals (150,0004 ), for the con-
struction of public roads.
On the 16th the Three per Cents. closed at 311/2 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.

Tire discussion in 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 repeatedly attacked by
Opposition Members for his neglect of the navy. These
Members, however, it must be admitted, are Lily supported
in their statements by the report of the Committee on the

nate knowledge, civilization, and the arta o

peace among their more rude countrymen. There
is another cause besides religion for objecting to
this amalgamation of young men, and Mr. O'CONNELL

Marine Budget made to the Chamber. That report
represents the navy as of little or no use for practical pur-
poses in case of a wdr, as will be seen from the following
extract :—" In placing underyour 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 stat,n of our feeble resources fur
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 thoin 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•
tices upon herself, for we declare, with regret, that to remain
in our present position would be to condemn ourselves voluu-
tarily to impotency."
If this report is well founded, M. LAcnossE was fully jus-
tified in making the following motion—" That at the opening
of the session of 1846, a speciai and detailed account shall
be diet ributed to the Chamber of the naval ccitscrion, 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.
BlLLauur 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 at tacks from sailing-
vessels, as well as steam-vessels. It includes also the attack
of the neighbouring coasts by the same, means (l'attague des
cotes roisznes per les ?noses znoyens). 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 matting pre-
parations fur attacking their neighbours. Sir C. NAPIER'S
speeches in Parliament have evidently roused the slumbering
spirit ofthe 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.

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 to at-
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 4dr.' the Assam at 3d. to 4d.,
and the finer sorts at Is. to ls. Id. ; the Hyson Skin
at 3d. to 3%d, Young Hvson at 6d, Pekoe at
54sd to 6d, Congou at Ser per Ib, 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
to be able to buy openly, they can commission parties. to bid
for them, and the public will be the gainer by having the
article at a lower price, because there will be no middle men
to pay.

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 fur herself. These are all the very best ar-
guments that could be urged in favour of this " gigantic
scheme of Godless educatior."

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 parties who ought to be more civil than
common. Surely this is not the way to conciliate
public esteem and promote the interests not of the Com-
