LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1845

Some of the French journals, and especially those in favour
of repeal, seem to regard as an important fact the protest
signed by a number of the Catholic Bishops against the Irish
Colleges Bill. The ground for this protest is alleged to be
the want of any theological, or, as it has been also
called, religious education in these establishments,
and the Prelates consider this defect so important as to jus
tify them in rendering every opposition to a measure which
most other people regard as a great boon to the sister coun-
try. In our opinion, the Bill will, nevertheless, work well;
it observes strict impartiality with respect to diffe-
rent principles of belief. Had any other scheme been
adopted, had the Government been so mad as to listen to the
denunciations of Mr. O'CoxxErs. and Sir ROBERT INGLIS
education could not have been carried on—there must have
been a perpetual war of opinions, expressed in lectures, or
sermons, or harangues; one class would have been fighting
against another, and, instead of reconciling the discordant
elements of belief, or allowing them to remain
in peace, the respective professors would have had the most
of their time occupied in directing polemical discussion, and
urging one sect against another. It is rare that religious
sects listen 'to reason, still more rare that conviction
follows disputation, for we believe there is not
one instance on record; and these colleges, in
place of being the means of smoothing down asperities,
weakening prejudices, and inculcating brotherly affection be-
tween Protestant and Catholic pupils, would have become a
perfect Babel, and the greatest curse that could have been in-
flicted on Ireland. But, even supposing that the protesting
Bishops had another plan in view, that impassable barriers
were to be established between the two sects, and that no
communication whatever was to take place between youths
who in after life would be eligible, with a few exceptions,
to all offices and appointments in the State, the
army, and the navy, would the evil be diminished ?
Quite the contrary. There would still be an Irish, and an
English, or Saxon, or Orange party, and additional incite-
ment would be given to the outcry against England, and the
separation of the two countries. We can easily conceive,
therefore, why the Goverment plan is obnoxious
to the repealers. Its object is the amalgamation
of all classies of her MA.nesrir's subjects, independent of the
blessings conferred by a liberal system of education. We
regard, therefore, as a happy event the complete neutrality
of the Government on this question, and the satisfaction is
enhanced by the wise and liberal conduct of
the more influential of the Catholic Prelates. Not
fewer than nine of that body have declared their com-
plete adherence to the measure, and we have only to mention
their names to show their respectability and learning. They
are Dr. CROLLY, the Primate; Dr. MuRP.Ar, Archbishop
of Dublin, and the following Bishops :—Dr. RYAN,
Dr. Muurriv, Dr. DENVIR, D*. BROWNE, Dr. KEN

NEDY, Dr. llE..tax, and Dr. 3PLouGurAx. These Bishops
are among those most esteemed in Ireland, and we perfectly
agree with the Evening Mail in thinking that " the quality
of names is sometimes as important as their number." The fol-
lowing remarks in the same journal, however, are of a
more doubtful character :—" On the whole, this pro-
ceeding changes nothing of the position taken up by the
Roman Catholic hierarchy while the measure was yet but in
embryo. It is but a further specimen of the ambidextrous
policy perpetually carried on by the Church of Rome
in Ireland, that of making every question connected with
the Papal interests a two-handled one, to be:taken up
on either side, as might best suit the occasion or expe-
diency of the times. Neither does it in the least elucidate
the mystery connected with the expressions assigned to Mr.
WYSE, to the effect that many of those prelates who, in
public, were most clamorous against the Bill, were amongst
the most ardent of those who, in private, urged him to per-
severe in the measure, and secure its completion." One part
of this paragraph contains a most grievous charge, and, if
founded on fact, would be of the first importance, as it

A fair business has been done in shares.
The Brazil mail brings no very important intelligence from
Rio, but in reference to the state of the money market and to
mercantile matters there is nothing particularly favourable
in them. Should the Minister succeed in his plans, some im-
provement may perhaps occur. The exchange was 24% to 25.
From Buenos Ayres the dates are of July 11, and here
there is doubtless food for reflection, since, if the accounts
are to be credited, we may expect the next arrival to bring in-
telligence of the cessation of hostilities at Monte Video, or the
commencement of them by the English and French squadrons
opposite Buenos Ayres.
We have some hope of an amendment, in the United States
tariff, if the following extract from a recent communication
dated New York is to be relied on :
"Every one must admit that the existing Tariff Act is very
defective, and many of its provisions are burdensome upon
the poorer classes, and many necessary articles consumed
almost exclusively by the lower classes are taxed with a very
high duty, while luxuries, consumed exclusively by the rich,
are entered at a comparatively low rate. Some of these
things should, and undoubtedly will, be remedied ; and it is
these defects that the present Secretary of the Trea-
sury is aiming to abolish. The principal object he
has in view is a complete revision of the tariff, and
whenever it is necessary, and can be done without sacrificing
revenue, to remove the high duty upon many articles, and
place it upon others that will produce about a corresponding
amount of revenue. There is plenty of room for the exer-
cise of the pruning-knife, and it is in judicious hands. The
organs of the two great political parties will find, soon after
the convention of Congress, that they have been more
frightened than hurt. The Tariff will, without doubt, during
the approaching Session of Congress, be perfected, and the
defects and abuses of the present Act be removed."
The Funds have been very flat this morning, and we quote
Consols % per cent. lower again, viz., 981, for present
transfer, and 981/2 % for Account. The premium on Ex-
chequer-bills has been 48s. to 495., being firm.

Princess Royal. and the l'n licess Alice, arrived at the Cat,
at eleven minuets past two o'clock this afternoon, from Osborne
House, Isle of Wight, escorted by a detachment of the 2d
Regiment of Life Guards, under the command of Lieutenant
Hesketh.
Her Majesty and the Prince were received at the principal
entrance by the Hon. Misses Kerr and Napier, Maids of
Honour in Waiting, Colonel Bowles, and the Hon. and Rev.
C. L. Courtenay.
The royal party left Osborne House at a quarter before
two o'clock A.M., attended by the Countess of Gainsborough,
Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Mr. G. E. Anson, and Colonel Ar-
buthnot, crossed to the Gosport terminus, and proceeded by a
special train on the South-Western Railway to the Farnbo-
rough station, en route to the Castle. Her Majesty and
Prince Albert and the Royal Family are in excellent health.
The bells of the town rang a merry peal in honour of their
return t 9 the Castle.

The Hon. Misses Kerr and Napier, Maids of Honour in
Waiting, the Master of the Household, and Colonel Berke-
ley Drummond, Groom in Waiting, arrived to-day. The
Marquis of Ormonde, Lord in Waiting to her Majesty, is
expected to arrive at the Castle.
In the afternoon her Majesty and her Royal Consort went
out walking in the pleasure-grounds adjacent to the Castle
and the Home Park.

The juvenile Royal Family were taken out this afternoon
on the eastern or private terrace, and in the pleasure-grounds.

ACCOUCHEMENT OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE CROWN
PRINCESS OF HANOVER.—A courier arrived in town on Wed-
nesday night, from Hanofer, with dispatches for his Excel-
lency Count Kielmannsegge, for the Legation in town, an-
nouncing the safe delivery of the Crown Princess of Hanover
on Sunday afternoon, the 21st inst., at half-past three o'clock
P.M., of a Prince.

BOth the Crown Princess and her infant are doing quite
well.

Intelligence of the auspicious event has been commun
cated by his Majesty the King of Hanover to her Majesi
the Queen, her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and the men
bers of the Royal Family in England.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of public busi
ness.

SCHOOL
CIT or LONDON .
Mr. W. S. Hale' Y an the Chairm of the City of London
School Committee, brought up a report, which gave very
great satisfaction. The following is a brief account of its
contents :
The report, in the first place, alluded in terms of high
praise and grateful acknowledgment to the act of liberality on
the part of Mr. Henry Benjamin Hanbnry Beaufoy, of South
Lambeth, F.R.S., in vesting the sum of 1,717/. stock in the
hands of certain trustees, for the purpose of establishing and
supporting for ever a scholarship of the value of 50/. a year
for the benefit of pupils of the school who should proceed to
the University of Cambridge, and stated that the first elec-
tion to the scholarship was decided at the recent examina-
tion in favour of Henry Judge Hose, who had been a pupil
of the school from its commencement in 1837, and had
greatly distinguished himself. It next alluded to the an-
nouncement made by Mr. nobler, the son of the late able
and excellent chief clerk at the Mansion-house, intimating
Mr. Beaufoy's intention to establish a second scholarship
with the same object, and of the same value as the first, so
that there might be an election to one of the scholarships
every two, instead of every four years. It stated that it was
the donor's wish that the dividends which would accrue prior
to the election of the second scholar, amounting to 1004
should, together with a further sum of 50 guineas, which he
proposed offering, be applied to defray the expense of pro-
curing lectures to be given at the school for the next four
years, and to the bestowment of prizes upon the pupils. In
furtherance of these intentions, the report stated Mr. Beaufoy
bad since caused a second investment to be made of 1,717/.
stock in the Three per Cent. Consolidated Bank Annuities,
and a deed of declaration of trusts having been prepared, the
Committee recommended the adoption of it by the Court,
and that the City's seal should be accordingly affixed
thereto. The report concluded by suggesting that some mode
of suitably expressing the acknowledgments of the Court for
such liberality, which should not only interest the present
generation, but engage the feelings and sympathies of poste-
rity; with which view the Committee proposed that appli-
cation should be made to Mr. Beaufoy, in the name of the
Corporation, requesting that he would allow either a portrait
or a bust f him to be executed at their expense, to be
placed in some part of the City of London School.
Mr. HALE, after a few observations upon the rapid progress
of the City of London School, which had already had the re-
putation conferred by twelve exhibitions at the University,
proposed that the report be agreed to.
Mr. TAYLOR could not help expressing his joy at the con-
sequences of the admirable management of the school by the
Corporation, and stated that such benefactions were of the
highest importance as an encouragement to the trustees and
the masters, as well as to the scholars of the establishment.
Mr. ASHURST joined most cordially in the expression of
grateful feeling towards Mr. Beaufoy, and declared that he
participated in the hopes and expectations formed of the ad-
vantages arising from the education of the people.--(Hear.)
The report was then unanimously agreed to, and the de-
claration of trust was then passed; and it was referred to the
Committee to carry the recommendation into execution.
The Tomx-CLERK announced that he had received a letter
from Mr. Lott, F.R.S., a member of the Court, stating that it
was his intention to award a medal for proficiency in writing
to the City of London School.—(Cheers.)
The letter was ordered to be entered upon the minutes of
the Court.

THE LORD MAYOR AND CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.
Mr. Lorr brought up the report of the Royal Hospitals'
Committee, on the subject of the refusal of the Governors of
Christ's Hospital to acknowledge the Lord Mayor as the head
of the institution. It stated that from the researches already
made, the only conclusion to be arrived at was, that the
Chief Magistrate was at the head of Christ's Hospital, and of
all the other royal hospitals.
Previous to the reading of the report,
The LORD MAYOR mentioned to the Court that the Go-
vernors of Christ's Hospital had, on St. Matthew's day, given
another proof of their determination to deny the superior
authority of the Chief Magistrate.
The report was referred back to the Committee, with in-
structions to proceed in the investigation, and to report to
the Court the result.
It was quite evident, from what took place upon the sub-
ject, that the Corporation mean to assert their right with
respect to precedence with the President and the Treasurer,
and those governors who will not acknowledge it, in the most
resolute manner.
STEAM-BOAT PIER AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.
Deputy BEDFORD brought up the report of the Navigation
Committee, on the subject of the erection of a substantial
pier at Blackfriars-bridge, and containing certain rules and
regulations. He proposed that the report should be
agreed to.
Mr. ANDERTON said it was quite impossible that the Court
could think of agreeing to adopt a report which would ne-
cessarily entail a heavy expense upon the citizens of London,
without having it printed, and subjecting it to regular dis-
cussion.
Mr. BEDFORD was of opinion that the sooner the Court
agreed to the report the better, and could not see any reason
for delay.
The LORD MAYOR said it was quite irregular, and in
direct opposition to the standing orders of the Court, to agree
to a report which referred to a heavy outlay, without due
notice upon the paper of the Court.
The COURT unanimously adopted the suggestion of the
Lord Mayor, and ordered that the report should be printed,
and that the discussion should be postponed to a future day.
The expenses attending the establishment of a pier were,
stated to be likely to amount to upwards of 1,1001. a year,
and it is expected that a strong debate will take place.
DUTY ON COALS.—IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY OF LONDON.
Mr. HARRISON, the Chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Fi-
nance Committee, brought up the report of the Committee,
and, in a lucid speech, detailed the matters contained in the
report, from which the following portions, being the most
important, are selected :
After a reference to the Bill for continuing the Acts for re-
gulating the vend and delivery of coals in London and West-
minster till the year 1862, the report proceeds—The said
Act also directs that the duty of one penny per ton on coals,
&c., hitherto applied to the purpose of the coal-market, shall
be in futureapplied to the creation of afund for the execution
of such improvement in the metropolis as Parliament may here-
after direct and sanction. It is further provided by the said
Act that it shall be lawful for the Corporation and the Board
of Trade to agree upon a sum of money to be paid to the
Corporation out of the moneys invested under the Act of the
Ist and 2d 'William IV., c. 76, for the redemption of the
compensations to which the late land coal-meters, and others
employed in the land metage of coals, and also the late clerk
at the coal-market, are now entitled, in respect of the abo-
lition of their respective offices, and we recommend that we
should be empowered to open the necessary communication
with the Board of Trade upon the subject of the said an-
nuities or compensation, and generally to carry the said Act
into execution
The system of delivery of coals in the port of London by
weight, in lieu of measure, and without the intervention of
meters, first adopted in the year 1831 under the provisions
of the Act Ist and2d William IV., c. 76, is to be,by the Act
now in question, continued for a further period of seventeen
years. This system, after having stood the test of fourteen
years' experience, appears to have been alike satisfactory to
the trade, to the consumers of coal, and to this Corpora.
tion,

It will be in the recollection of the Court that the Corpo-
ration consented to waive their right to the metage duty,
and also to the groundage and other manor charges, which
were considered troublesome and vexatious in collection,
taking for the future the sum of fourpence per ton, instead of
fourpence per chaldron, and the charges above alluded to on
all coals, &c, imported; that duty was charged, however,
in the annuities or pensions to the deputy coal-meters and
others, amounting at that time to upwards of 18,000/. per
annum.
The arrangement then mqde was, for a time, in a pecuni-
ary point of view, to the disadvantage of the Corporation,
and it is only recently that the large advances made in re-
spect of the said pensions have been, by reason of the in-
creasing importation of coals and the decreasing amount of
the pensions, reimbursed to the Corporation.
It will be satisfactory to the Court to be informed, that al-
though this arrangement has hitherto been anything but
profitable to the Corporation, it will in future, should the im-
portation continue at its present amount, be not only remu-
nerative, but will become, by the lapse of pensions charged
on the duty, a source of profit to the extent of such lapse
annually.

Your'Committee beg further to state, that upon the occa-
sion of certain conferences with the Board of Trade upon the
renewal of the Coal Act, thin circumstance 'was referred to by
members of that Board, and the propriety of appropriating
some further part of the City's revenue arising from coals in
effecting improvements in the City, which are so impera-
tively required, was strongly and repeatedly urged upon your
Committee.

Not being authorised by the Court, your Committee are
not in a position to make any pledge upon the subject, but
considering the propriety of the course suggested, and know-
ing that it had been a principle already recognised by the
Court by the resolution of the 18th of January, 1844,
whereby the said duties were charged with the sum of
50,0001 expended in the vicinity of the Royal Exchange,
and in completing the improvements in Maiden-lane, we,
your Committee, proceeded to consider the subject with that
attention which its importance demanded; and in pursuance
of the powers vested in us, as a Committee of Finance, we
have also carefully considered the subject of the City income
generally, with the view of ascertaining if any, and what
sum, can be applied towards such improvements, and having
had laid before us accounts showing what has been expended
in public works and improvements of an extraordinary cha-
racter in the last ten years, and having had prepared esti-
mates of the saving likely to arise by the lapse of the life
annuities above referred to, as well as the probable increase
of income from some other sources; and after duly weighing
the whole subject, we agree as to the propriety of this Court
taking the course suggested, and beg to certify that a sum
of 20,000/, may be applied annually out of, and charged
upon, the City coal duty during the next twenty years (the
same to include the loan of 50,0001. already charged on such
duty), towards effecting further public works and improve.

of the strongest approbation of the recommenintion of tho
Committee, and congratulated the citizens upon the immense
advantages which must result from a judicious application of
so large an annual sum to the improvement of the populous
thoroughfares.
Mr. R. L. JONES also spoke in favour of the report, which
was then unanimously, and amidst loud acclamation, agreed

MANUFACTORIES IN FRANCE.—According to a re-
cent return, it appears that the manufactories of France are
increasing in an extraordinary degree. In the department
of the Seine-Inferieure the number of steam engines now at
work is 345, and their aggregate force amounts to 3,600
horse-power. The great majority are employed at Rouen,
Elbceuf, and Bolbec.—Galignani.
