by opening the endowments of Trinity College and the
professorships of the University of Dublin, as the degrees
of the University are open, to Catholics as well as Pro-
testants, and making the new colleges c, lieges of the
University of Dublin. The fellows of Trinity College
and professors of the University would then serve for
examiners, and Catholics as well as Protestants
being fellows and professors, the Catholic popu-
lation of Ireland would feel no distrust of a
Dublin board of examiners so constituted. The saving
of expense would be the least advantage of such an ar-
rangement. The existence of two distinct Universities,
one accounted the Protestant and the other the Catholic
University, would go far to counteract the healing effects
of these new mixed colleges ; and while Trinity College
tind the University of Dublin stand in proud isolation,
there will be danger of a mark of inferiority attaching to
the new colleges, and of what is intended for a boon to
the Catholics of Ireland being but a new sign of their
degradation. After all, what a farce it is to pretend
that the exclusion of Roman Catholics from
the endowment of Trinity College is necessary
to its assumed object of the education of Protestant
clergymen ? Assuming this to be the object of the
College, but assuming it merely for the sake of argu-
ment, why is the exclusion of Catholics from plirticipa-
tion in endowments necessary, if their exclusion from
participation in education is not necessary ? A Pro-
testant clergy can be educated in communion with
holders of other creeds, and the restriction of endow-
ments to Protestants is nothing more nor less than a
pretence.

The House of Lords is passing the Irish Colleges Bill
at a railroad pace, which must wofully disappoint Sir
ROBERT INGLIs, if he built his hopes upon " another
place," and which proves, if proof were needed, the
eagerness of that House to do the bidding of Sir ROBERT
PEEL. If the Bill had come from a Whig Government
how would the House hare resounded with imputations
of " Godlessness," and how nearly would this excellent
Bill have been thrown out, which is now passing without
a division

We have published a letter from several owners of
Spanish bonds, which we are unwilling should pass too
readily out of observation, simply, on the ground of its
alluding to that which is matter of notorious and inces-

sant complaint. Our correspondents are desirous that
the intervention of the Legislature and the Government
should be exercised to compel the payment of their
coupons or dividends. It is unfortunately quite needless
to enter into any recapitulation of the long series of dis-
graceful violations of the public faith of Spain, and com-
promises of the personal honour, as well as moral
character of the Ministers composing her Governments,
which have followed in quick succession upon the ad-
vances of British capital made within the last twenty
years, with a view to the maintenance of her public
establishments, and upon her own incessantly-asserted
pretext of upholding her national credit. in modern
history it would be difficult to find a parallel to the
generous enthusiasm, the undoubting confidence with
which the monied community of Great Britain came
forward to assist Spain in the regeneration of her po-
litical institutions. They did so mainly on the imagined
guarantee they should realise in the grateful fidelity
to their engagements of a people for whom and
with whom our own soldiers and sailors had so often
fought and bled, in contending against the common
enemy of the liberties of Europe. On her part, Spain
was not back ward in binding herself by the most solemn
obligations, and under public acts and conventions of
the most stringent character, to the faithful discharge of
the pecuniary liabilities she had thus contracted by
reason of the confidence reposed in her by the monied
interest, as it is called, of that nation which had been her
faithful ally and her victorious champion. It seems as if
FERDINAND VII. on his death-bed had bequeathed to
the nation, together with a disputed succession to his
throne and a civil war, the infamous legacy of his own
utter faithlessness, his self-convicted and shameless
falsehood, his reckless ingratitude, and his open repudia-
tion of honesty and honour. A more profligate cor.-
spiracy to defraud and pillage foreign capitalists was
never concocted than the whole scheme under which the
various operations of the Spanish finance administration
were conducted in the greater part of the period we
have mentioned for raising money in London upon
Spanish bonds and " securities," as they were called,
surely in bitter mockery. Millions of English capital
have thus been abstracted, never to be returned. Mer-
chants, bankers, brokers, traders, whose names stood
high upon every exchange in Europe, prior to their con-
nexion with the Spanish funds, have been driven from
station, influence, wealth, respectability, and over-
whelmed in hopeless ruin by the wholesale bankruptcy
of Spanish honour, wherever a contract was to be ful-
filled, or a promise to pay to be redeemed. What were
the pleas which Spain recorded in the face of Europe in
extenuation of this degeneracyof her faith— this abandon-
ment of her integrity—this contempt for truth? These:—

The derangement of her natural resources ; the poverty
of her people ; the decay of the trade, the stagnation of
her colonial commerce ; the political distractions by
which she was consumed ; the destruction of all con-
fidence between the various classes of her people ; and
the consequent unproductiveness of her revenue. But
all these pleas have been falsified by the abundant
supplies which her profligate Governments have succes-
sively obtained from taxation for all the multiplied pur-
poses of domestic intrigue—court factions—foreign
agencies—secret service—the corruptions, the venality,

•
the vengeance of Camarillas—the personal luxury and
the private and official establishments of the royal widow
of "the worst of kings." Was an army to be debauched?
A " Regent" to be supplanted by the same blow that
was to upset a Constitution? Was a minion of royalty
to be feted—a populace to be intoxicated with brutalising
shows and pageants—a Minister of principles too im-
practicable for the atmosphere of Madrid to be ousted?
When and where, in the last thirty years, was money
wanting to the authorities of Spain for any such pur-
poses? No service was starved in Spain—except that
of the public: no cause permitted to languish for want
of money—except that of the country: no petitions to
the throne to remain unredressed—but those of the
people. Now, when we look upon the immoderate
sum extracted annually by the Queen-Mother, CHRIS-
TINA, from the impoverished treasury of Spain; the costly
wages of treachery and cabal appropriated to such
creatures as NARVAEZ ; the sumptuous civil list
of the young Queen Regnant, ISABELLA ; and the
state and splendour maintained by the Spanish
Court, in melancholy contrast to the misery of the
Spanish people ; shall we be told that the English
holders of Spanish Stock shall not be paid the interest
on their coupons ? It is high time that our guilty for_
bearance on the subject of Spanish dishonesty should
cease. If the Finance Minister will not provide the
money to defray the interest on these coupons, or can-
not, letour Government insist on its being contributed
out of the appropriation to the enormously dispropor-
tionate Civil List of Spain, the " secret service money:'
the " Royal Pensions," and the Menus plaisirs fund—if
need be,—of the QUEEN-MOTHER and the Senor Muxoz•
The Spanish bondholders have a claim which no British
Minister can safely resist, for the vigorous interference of
the British Cabinet on their behalf with that of Spain.

Madrid journals to the 16th inst. have been received. We
find in the Gaceta a bulletin dated Barcelona, the 12th, and
signed by General NARVAEZ, announcing that the Captain-
General had just returned, after restoring order wherever it
had been disturbed, and leaving several columns to pursue
such of the rebels as had fled to the mountains. The bulletin
added that, on the 17th, the QUEEN would proceed by sea to
Valencia, and that troops had been marched to that town.
According, however, to a more recent communication, the
Court had, in conseqaence of the re-establishment of order in
the province of Catalonia, determined to proceed, on the 17th,
to Saragossa. which place they were expected to reach on the
20th. The Ministers remaining at Madrid still intended to
be at Saragossa, on the 24th, in order to compliment the
Queen-Mother on the occasion of her birth-day.

The claims of the Infante Don HENRY to the hand of the
QUEEN are viewed with increased favour every day. La
Guia del Commercio supports his claims in the most enthu-
siastic manner. At a meeting of the editors of the Pro-
gressista journals held on the 15th, it was agreed that they
should give no opinion on the subject of the QUEEN'S mar-
riage, and that they would not propose any candidate of their
own. The kingdom was perfectly tranquil.
The Three per Cents. closed at 29 for cash, and 2914 at 60
days. he other securities were not quoted.

We have received the Paris papers. They all publish the article
from the Moniteur Algeria on the subject of the massacre at
Dahra. This article may be considered as the official defence of
the transaction, and in it the responsibility of the whole affair is
thrown on Marshal BUGEAUD, inasmuch as Colonel PELIS-
SIER " had only used the means recommended to him by
the Governor-General." The article appears in the Govern-
ment papers without a word of comment, but the Oppo-
sition journals animadvert on the conduct of Marshal
BUGEAUD in terms of just severity. We give the following
from the Commerce as an example of the tone of the Oppo-
sition journals on this occasion :
" When so cruel an act takes place in the course of a war by the
force of danger, and the urgent necessity of defence, humanity is
afflicted, but the excuse goes hand in hand with the evil. It is
another thing to prepare beforehand, to calculate and command
cruelty as a means; and, what is still worse, is to attempt to justify
by cold reasoning such a system of warfare. Marshal Bugeaud
says that philanthropy would render war impossible. This may
be ; but without a certain degree of Onanthropy war becomes
odious and abominable."

On the subject of the rumoured landing of a Turkish force
at Tripoli, the Journal des Debats says:—
" It is well known that every year, about the same period, it is
regularly rumoured that the Ottoman Porte is preparing an in-

vasion of the regency of Tunis. The Turkish fleet had, in fact,
the custom of annually cruising in these latitudes ; it was an exec.
ciao which appeared to have become necessary to it. This year
nothing is said of the fleet, but a land expedition is spoken of, and
it is reported that a considerable body of Turkish troops has been
lauded in the regency of Tripoli, to enter by that road into
the territory of the Bey of Tunis. We can easily comprehend,
and indeed we share, the interest which all that concerns the
safety of the Tunisian territory excites in France. It is certain
that our own security, as possessors of Algeira, is intimately connected
with any events that may take place on this part of our frontier ;
and up to the present time, whenever the Ottoman Government
has appeared desirous of making a demonstration on that side, the
French Government has shown, by sending out some men-of.
war on the coast, all the interest which it took in the mainte.
nance of tranquillity in the Regency of Tunis. As to what con-
cerns the pretended plans of invasion by land, we believe that they
are as exaggerated as were formerly those of a naval expedition.
However, they are not without foundation ; and this, if we are well
informed, is what has given rise to the reports in circulation. There
is at present a war going on, on the frontier of Tunis and of Tripoli,
between two tribes, which dispute with each other about a portion of
territory; It would appear that the Porte has determined to seize on
this opportunity to make an act of intervention, and at the same time
a sort of taking possession on the territory of Tunis, and that in
consequence, as the report goes, she has for this object sent rein..
forcements to Tripoli. In fact, news had been received that for
some time past Turkish troops were landing at Tripoli, by detach-
ments of from 200 to 400, and even 800 men. We do not believe
that the Porte really wants to make a serious demonstration, nor
should it, besides, be believed that an invasion of the regency of
Tunis is so easy a matter. Men who have studied the ground
with care affirm that a Turkish army, unless it were a very con-
siderable one, far rove considerable, indeed, than the actual re-
sources of the Ottoman empire afford, could not traverse with safety
the eighty leagues which separate 'Tripoli from Tunis. We are
therefore persuaded that more importance is attached to the projects
of the Porte than they merit. But, however that may be, we
have no doubt that the French Government has already deemed it
right to address to its Ambassador at Constantinople precise in-
structions on the point, and to have all the representations that
were necessary made to. the Divan. At aq events several vessels
have been sent to Tripoli, and two ships of the line to Tunis."
In relation to this subject a letter in the Presse states that
the Porte's intention in landing troops at Tripoli is to attempt
a coup de main on Gerbi, and then to effect a rising in the
south-eastern part of the regency, with the view of marching
against Tunis.

The Presse announces that the QUEEN of Spain left Barce-
lona on the 18th, for Saragossa and the Basque Provinces.
The Globe, alluding to the reports in circulation about
a dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, has the fol-
lowing
" All that bas been said on this subject is the most gratuitous
and improbable invention. Undoubtedly, no one can pretend to
know the future; but, unless corns event should occurvadically to
change the present situation, it would be difficult to explain how
the Cabinet could hope for a firmer and more united majority on
all the great questions."

The Duke and Duchess of NEMOURS are to set out to-day
on their journey to the Pyrenees. Their Royal Highnesses
are expected to be at Gueret on the 26th inst , at Limoges on
the 28th, at Libourne on August 4, and at Bordeaux on the
sth. Their Majesties will not take their departure for En
until the commencement of August.

The celebrated violicist ARTANIT died of consumption at
Ville d'Avray, near Paris, on the 20th inst., at the early age
of 30.

The KING gave a dinner, on Sunday, at Neuilly. Among
the guests were the Duke DE RIANZARES, M. D. CORTES,
Secretary to the QUEEN ; the Chevalier BRESSON, French
Ambassador to the Court of Spain ; the Prince D'ANGLONA,
and the Duke D'OssuNa. His MAJESTY conversed a good
deal with the Duke DE RIANZARES and M. D. CORTES, who,
it is said, declared to his MAJESTY that the health of the
Queen of SPAIN would not permit of her being married at
present.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 24.—The first division of the
76th left here this morning, for Manchester, and will be
replaced by the 68th Light Infantry, from Dover. The
report of Sir Thomas Hasbury's being appointed to
succeed Captain Bolder° at the Ordnance-office has given
great satisfaction here. The want of a naval officer in
that department has long been needed, and frequently
impressed upon the Government by Sir Charles Napier.
Rumour assigns also the command of the Excellent to
Captain Chads, an officer who served with much gal-
lantry in China.
WAKEFIELD. PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY.—
We are authorised to state that the preamble of this Bill
was proved on Wednesday, and the promoters allowed 'o
commence the works immediately between Pontefract and
Goole, and between Wakefield and Pontefract immedi-
ately, by " consent in writing of the landowners," until
application is made to Parliament for the branch to
Leeds, when full compulsory powers commence.

The " Admiralty Memorandum," introductory to a
supplementary vote, "to provide for an increased
retirement allowance to 300 Captains of her Majesty's
Navy," and which we published in our impression of
on Wedn(sclay, appears to us (on the cursory perusal we
have yet found time to devote to it) an exceedingly
judicious and wise scheme of compensation and reward,
and to be well calculated to secure to the country an
immediate supply of efficient officers, of ages at which
their professional and physical powers may be sup-
posed to have attained their full vigour and maturity.
We shall speedily recur to this important paper.

There are no arrivals to-day.
The English Stock Market is very quiet, and there is no
particular alteration in prices. Consols have been 99 to %
for Money, and 9914 for Account. Exchequer Bills have been
545. to 565. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
are 102% 1+
Business in the Foreign Market is very inactive. Spanish
Three per Cents. have been firmer at 373/4, and Peruvian

The market for Railway Shares has been vacillating
again ; and what with the London and York decision, and
the anxiety about the broad gauge, there is certainly enough
to occasion fluctuation. There is a new foreign line-the
Central Sardinian-about to be brought on the market.
Respecting Railway investments, a writer says :-
" The combined exertions of private persons, unburdened
by the patronage and unrepressed by the interference of the
Executive Government, have made still greater conquests
over nature. Stuns of money, so vast as to startle the un-
derstanding, have been contributed, and in the main profita-
bly to the subscriber, for the construction of railroads, which
in so undulating a country as England must needs be nearly
level, filling up valleys and preforating mountains, which
could not avoid impediments by sudden curves, and which
had every physical difficulty aggravated, and the pecuniary
cost greatly increased by the restrictions of the Legislature.
By means of thetas railroads distances, which at no very re-

mute period required four days to travel by the common roads,
are now traversed with ease and certainty in ten hours. More
than 2,000 miles of railway have been constructed within
twenty years, at an expehse of nearly seventy millions of
pounds, volubtarily contributed by individuals, in the exer •
cise of their own discretion, subject to their own control, and
with a view to their own profit—a view which, if sometimes
disappointed, has beer generally realised, and often to an ex-
tent tar exceeding the most sanguine expectations of the
speculator."

LITERATURE.

EDINBURGH REVIEW. No. CLXV. July, 1845.
Besides the article on "Luther's Correspondence and
Character," which we have already alluded to, this
number contains some other interesting papers. The
review of the book entitled " Vestiges of the Natural
History of Creation" is one of these. But, inasmuch as
to give extracts from it would only be to propagate the
crude and unphilosophical speculations of a work which
has had the inexplicable good fortune, as it seems to us,
of attaining a fourth edition, we prefer quoting the fol-
lowing summary by the Reviewer, premising that we
ontirly concur in its judgment :—" We conclude then
that our author's work is not merely shallow and super-
ficial, but utterly false, throughout, to all the principles
of sound philosophy. Of all the books we ever read, it
puts before us the largest congeries of positive misstate-
ments and positively false conclusions. But it is plea-
santly written." Mrs. Norton's " Child of the Islands" is
a well-merited eulogium on a very pretty poem by this
gifted lady. The " I3okhara Victims," by Capt. Grover,
is a pleasant paper on the little volume of the amiable
but somewhat excitable friend of the unfortunate Colonel
Stoddart and Capt. Conolly,—and the indefatigable ally
of Dr. Wolff. Ile is very hard on all the authorities of
the Foreign-office, and their diplomatic and other agents
abroad. " Aloliere" is an admirable essay on the genius,
writings, and times of the greatest of French dramatic
writers ; but we could not quote detached passages from
so able a piece of dramatic criticism without doing great
injustice to the author. " Macgregor's Commercial
Statistics" we have ourselves reviewed at great length.
The Edinburgh gives to the indefatigable author of these
valuable collections a well-merited and unstinted measure
of praise. The concluding article on the Oregon ques-
tion is one that we regret to see in the pages of a pe-
riodical generally so justly renowned for the sagacity
and good spirit of its political speculations. This paper
is really a failure—and a perverse one, too—on a subject
of much national interest.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.--YESTERDAY.
Of the many horses returned on Monday, as having been
most prominently in favour, Boarding-school Miss, Pythia, and
lEgis, alone were backed in earnest ; of this trio of fillies the
first-mentioned had by far the most numerous party, and, as
will be gathered from the subjoined quotations, with a most
important influence on her position. Lothario was also in de-
mand, indeed was the only horse in the Goodwood lot that was
at all fancied. Rowena, Wee Pet, and Europa, were not
named, and Queen Mab and Venus were only mentioned at
nominal prices. The latest quotations were as follows :
