perly drilled and accustomed to the art of war, con-
stantly residing on the soil, and ready either to repel
aggressions or supply the place of the regular troops
when the interests or warlike policy of the Government
may require their services in other quarters. Besides
these, there is a standing army of 400,000 men, more than
four times the number that England can muster for in-
finitely more multifarious duties than France can
be called upon to perform. To supply their place we
have no force whatever entitled to the name, and should
a war with America, or any other great power, break
out, the defence of the country must be left to raw
levies, without experience in the military art, without
discipline, and enervated by the repose of a long peace.
Besides, the militia regiments have ever been found the
best source of supply for the regular army, and during
the war the glory acquired by British arms was mainly
owing to their excellent training, their good character,
and not a little also to their physical strength. Com-
plaints, too, prevail, that the surplus population cannot
get employment, and that able-bodied farm labourers
are compelled to submit to the horrors of a workhouse.
Any condition is preferable to pariah relief and pariah
imprisonment, and if employment can be obtained in
such a legitimate and just cause as national
defence, and in the assertion of rights essential
to our existence as a people, Sir ROBERT PEEL will
fail in the most important of ministerial duties if he de•
lays for one session more the accomplishment of a mea-
sure so imperiously called for, and so ardently desired
by every one thoroughly acquainted with the utterly
defenceless state of these islands.

The Morning Herald of yesterday has indulged in
much flippant criticism on a recent speech of Mrl
CHRISTIE'S about Oxford and Cambridge. It has had,
however, the candour to extract what Mr. CHRISTIE
said, and the public are thus able to judge between his
statement of facts and the reply. The universities will
have no reason to thank their champion for publishing
Mr. CHRISTIE'S statement any more than for the
defence.

At a meeting for the opening of some new British
and Foreign Schools in the Kent-road, at which Mr.
HAwEs (in the absence of Lord JOHN RUSSELL) pre-
sided, and where Mr. WISE, Mr. CHRISTIE, and other
friends of liberal education attended, Mr. CHRISTIE took
occasion to refer to the Universities of Oxford and Cam-
bridge, which, our readers are aware, he has more than
once brought before Parliament. We will follow the
example of the Herald, and extract his rennrks, think-
ing it important that the facts which he stated should be
circulated :

" There were many subjects less connected with each other
than the condition of schools such as that which they had
met to open, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
—(Hear, hear.) The great difficulty in all efforts for im-
provement of education was the want of good schoolmasters.
Much had been done in this respect of late years by the
excellent training schools—those cf the British and Foreign
School Society and the Battersea Training School, in praise
of which too much could not be said. But Oxford and
Cambridge might do a great deal to elevate the school-
master, arurthey not only did nothing, but worse than
nothing. Ire (Mr. Christie) wanted to know what was
done in all the colleges with the improved rents of estates
left for scholarships and exhibitions. In many colleges, poor
scholars, struggling with great difficulty against the ex-
penses of college life, in order to obtain the advantage of a
degree, received only the small stipends fixed some centuries
ago, when money went a very great deal further than now,
while the greatly increased rents of the estates were divided
among idle and luxurious fellows. The just improvement of
the value of these scholarships would give the means of
encouraging many young men who might afterwards de-
vote themselves to the honourable and responsible calling of
a schoolmaster.—(Hear, hear.) No one would say that even
the teacher of a village school would not be a better school-
master fur having received a superior education ; and
the humblest schoolmaster and the humblest school would
benefit by such an elevation. If the universities did their
duty they might do much for the advantage of the school-
master's profession.—(Hear, hear.) The universities and the
church, which were so closely connected, had managed to
monopolise, often indeed in violation of founders' statutes,
the masterships of grammar-schools, many of which
were very richly endowed. In many instances masters
of grammar-schools were required to be graduates and
clergymen of the Church of England, when the founder
had made no such restriction, or even when he had
expressly declared that the schoolmaster should not be a
clergyman.—(Hear, hear.) This state of things had contri-
buted to lower the schoolmaster's profession. The school-
master derived his social importance from being a clergy-
man—and clergymen were not the best schoolmasters.—
(Hear, hear, and laughter.) They were apt to regard their
school duties as subordinate to their clerical profession ;
and they hoped to remain schoolmasters only until they got
some good Church prefennent.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
Thus the schools suffered, and the schoolmasters pro-
fession was lowered. There were many endowed schools of
which colleges in the universities were trustees. These, by
the influence of the colleges, had been excepted from pre-
vious commissions of inquiry. Many of them he be-
lieved had gone to decay, and the endowments merged in
the college revenues. One of his objects was to diminish
college expenses, and open wide the doors of the universities
to poor men's sons—to the sons of tradesmen—(Haar, hear)—
and to those designed for schoolmasters; for why should
not the universities educate the schoolmasters as well as
statesmen? And he wished above all, in furtherance of the
great principles of religious liberty, which owed much to
the British and Foreign Society, to open wide the doors of
those universities to the members of all religious creeds.—
(Cheers. )

If colleges have fulfilled their duties as trustees,
why should they fear inquiry? A proposal to inquire
does not necessarily imply censure. Some schools are
well-managed, some are ill-managed. Inquiry causes
improvement where there has been neglect or miscon-
duct, but where there has not, it leads to honourable
mention, and gives the public the benefit of a good ex-
ample. Why, then, should the schools, of which
colleges in the universities aro the trustees, have been
exempted from the inquiries of the Charity Commis-
sioners?

As to the masterships of endowed schools, Mr.
CHRISTIE might have added that a great injustice is
done to the Dissenters, in restricting them to gra-
duates of the universities and clergymen. The
Morning Herald cries " cock-a hoop," and says
every schoolmaster of eminence has been educated
at one or other of the universities. Mr. CHRISTIE does
not say otherwise ; but he complains that laymen and
Dissenters are excluded from situations of emolument to
which they are as much entitled as Oxford or Cam-
bridge clergymen ; and for which we agree with him in
thinking that eceteris paribus laymen are better fitted
than clergymen. There is no hope of improving the
status of the schoolmaster, unless the schoolmaster is
allowed to rest his claims to social position and respect
on the dignity of his own functions, and relieved of the
embarrassing aid of the Church. The connexion between
the universities and the Church has injured both. The
Church has narrowed the aims of our national universities
and closed their portals to a large portion of the QUEEN'S
subjects ; while the special education for the clergy at
Oxford and Carnbri3ge has been condemned by the
highest authorities in the Church as a mockery, and it
is notorious that there are no worse parish priests, as a
rule, than college fellows. They enter the Church in
the first instance to keep their fellowships (then) are, of
course, honourable exceptions), and after living a life of
luxurious ease in college, performing no clerical duty,
they take a college living when their turn comes, which
enables them to marry, and change the scene from the
tiring monotony of college life. A nice training for the
grave and sacred duties of a clergyman !
It may, and probably will, take time; but no reform
has ever been carried in this country without long agi •
tation—

" Nil sine magno labore."

The Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, Catholic
Emancipation, Parliamentary Reform, we will add, anti-
cipating the now certain victory, Repeal of the Corn
laws—all these are instances of the necessity and efficacy
of agitation. And in time, and with agitation, all the
clerical and aristocratic interests which struggle to pro-
tect them against reform will cease to avail the uni-
versities.

We have received Madrid journals of the 20th inst.,
which are occupied chiefly with details of the late royal
file and the grand ball given by General NARVAEZ to
celebrate the event. The QUEEN, her sister, and the
' QUEEN-MOTHER, were present. Tier MAJESTY danced
first with NARVAEZ, and next with the French Ambas-
sador, and from all accounts the spectacle was very
superb. No general amnesty had been published, but
several persons confined for other than political crimes
had been set at liberty on the occasion. The disappoint-
ment caused by these circumstances was adverted to in
Some of the journals, and in language which shows that
NARVAEZ still allows the press great latitude. We give
the following from the Clamor Publico as a specimen :
" Console yourselves, unfortuates, upon whom has fallen
the torment of usurpation, General Narvaez is a grandee of
Spain ! Console yourselves, unfortunates, who pine in dun-
geons, without even being made acquainted with the cause of
your arrest, General Narvaez is Duke of Valencia! Console
yourselves, prisoners and exiles of all classes, console your-
selves, you overburthened tax-payers, General Narvaez has
received a fine title, exempt from all taxes and obligations !
Is not this a national recompense to convey joy to the hearts
of the people at large? Where is the unfortunate who will
not find in this announcement a new and powerful source of
consolation ? It is thus that a handful of ambitious men
celebrate the fete of the Queen of Spain ! Everything for a
dozen of intriguants—nothing for a suffering nation. Whilst
a laborious and active nation is wearing out in slow agony, '
behold these decorated courtiers rolling through the streets
in gilded equipages, and wasting in a night of enjoyment
and pleasure what would give relief to an entire province!
Rejoice, ye people! Set up shouts of gladness ; your country
is saved, for General Narvaez is Duke of Valencia and a
grandee of Spain!"

On the Bourse the Three per Cents. were done at 36
for 30 days. The Fives not quoted. Exchange on
London, 37k.

The accounts from Paris of the state of the stock and
share market are very gloomy. From the opening to
the close of tho Bourse there was a continued fall in
the prices of railway shares, all offering to se,l without

finding purchasers. The funds, too, were affect, e 1 by
the panic. The Three per Cents. fell about 20e., and
the Fives 25c. Various causes are assigned—such as
reports of three or four more brokers being in a dan- '
gerous position, the threatening aspect of affairs between
England and America, &c.; but when a panic once
commences it generally goes on for some time from
sheer ignorance and no real cause is required to give it
additional impulse. Several of the journals continue their
remarks on the Oregon question, and we are glad to find in
a somewhat less partial spirit. M. Tuians's journal has a
long article on the subject, which only shows how little
the real state of parties here is known by the political
writers of Paris. That journal seems to infer that the
advent of the old Tories to power is at hand, and that
the nation would again submit to their rule, provided
England could be fairly embroiled with America on the
Oregon question. Nay, it even insinuates that the
remnants of a broken faction would encourage a bloody
war for party purposes, and that, for e time, they might
be successful. These days are gone by. " The retire-
ment of Sir ROBERT PEEL," says that jeurnal, " under
present circumstances, would by no means surprise us,
The result of such a step would be naturally to bring ,
back the pure Tories to power. Without setting up for
prophets, we find it difficult to imagine that this frac-
tion could have snore chance of success at present than
seventeen years ago. The position of such a Ca-
billet, in face of an Opposition considerably increased,
and of the Anti-Corn-law League—in presence of Ire-
land agitated by famine and stirred up by old hatred--
would not be easily tenable, and now, as before, the
ephemeral trial of the ultra-Tories would only serve to
precipitate the downfal of their doctrines. To prevent
either the triumph of the Opposition, which has placed
itself so high in public opinion by the noble conduct
which it has manifested in the late struggles in Parlia-
ment, or the formation of a coalition Ministry, uniting
with a view to a reform judged necessary by all the
Liberals and moderate Tories, the ultra-Tory Cabinet
would have but one resource. It would recur to the
expedient so often employed by unpopular govern-
ments, or by 'ministers preferring power to the good of
their country—they could throw England into a great
war, and the Oregon question, which becomes more en-
venomed every day, would furnish them an admirable op-
portunity. There are some persons in England, it is said,
who would net recoil from this extremity, and regard
without fear such a perspective. It cannot be dissem-
bled that the opportunity would be well chosen, and a
war with the United States would not be displeasing at
first view to the English nation. This may be supposed
from the wild applause which greeted Sir R. PEIL'S
words when, at the commencement of the year, he de-
clared that if the just rights of England were slighted,
he should know how to use force to make them re-
spected. The English pride was deeply wounded by
the result of the war of 1812, and by the manner in
which the United States, and the press of the continent,
spoke of the matter. Since that period, the upper
classes have always nourished the idea of recommencing
the struggle, and of giving, according to the popular
phrase in ;England, a good lesson to Jonathan. The
national feeling would, on the occasion, come to the aid
of the Ministry. Besides, the self-love of England is
involved in the matter. Since this question of the Ore-
gon has been mooted England has always lost ground,
and each of her concessions has been immediately turned
against her. The United States now refuse the arrange-
ment which they themselves offered several times, and
which England had declined. England eight or ten
months back made a warlike demonstration. At pre-
sent the United States contest her rights altogether to
the Oregon, after having acknowledged these rights by
thirty years' negotiation. At present Mr. POLK an-
nounces his intention of persevering in a conduct which,
in the epinion of Sir ROBERT PEEL, was equivaleret to a
declaration of war. It appears, therefore, difficult for
England to avoid a shameful humiliation, otherwise than
by having recourse to arms." It adds in another place :
" Will not the party of the ultra-Tories, supposing that
they should now arrive at power, be forced, in order to
retain it, to appeal to the popular passions, and will not
they prefer war to the ruin of the monopoly, which forms
the strength of the aristocracy ? Whoever may be the
men whom a modification in the Ministry may raise to
power, we think that, if the quarrel be not embittered
beyond measure by unwise and useless provocations on
the part of the American Government, they will look
twice before they have recourse to this dangerous expe-
dient." The conclusion is very lame; and only shows that
M. TRIERS has formed no fixed opinion on the subject.
Late intelligence has been received from Algiers, which
gives rather a more favourable account of the state of the
revolted provinces. According to the Mon:teur Algerein,
the different reports from Constantires announce that
this province has remained an entire stranger to the agi-
tations which have taken place in the other subdivisions.
All the accounts concur in stating that there is no pros-
pect of an interruption of tranquillity. The Kebyles in
the environs of' Gigelly are very cairn, and it appears
probable that they will remain so.
The following curious piece of intelligence from Macao
appears in the Presse :
" We receive from Macao a letter, dated Sept. 30, which
informs us of an almost incredible fact, but which our cor-
respondent assures us to be true. Since France has had a
consul at Canton, the French flag has always floated before
the European factories, on the same line as those of England,
Holland, and America. Formerly this flag was the only sign
that reminded the Chinese of there being in the west a grand
nation called France. Since the treaty concluded by M. de
Lagrene, it is a pledge of peace and alliance, the consecra-
tion of the rights which placed us on an equality with the
English and Americans. It was, therefore, most important
to maintain this emblem of French power. Well, scarcely
had our plenipotentiary quitted Canton, after the treaty
had been concluded, when M. Lefebvre de B6court, head
of the consulate in that country, decided, of his own
authority, that the tri-coloured flag ought not any longer
to float on the Chinese territory. And for what reason?
Because the Government does not pay the rent of M. Le-
febvre at Canton, and, in consequence, because that gentle.
man, not having any residence in the factory called French,
would be obliged to hire for a hundred francs a-year the
ground in which the flagstaff was placed for half a century !
This conduct is the more shameful, inasmuch as the Consu-
late of Canton is one of the best paid of all, receiving not less
than 40,000 f. a-year. Out of that amount, M. Lefebvre de
Becourt could not find the paltry sum just named ! In
truth, it is not to be believed ! And yet nothing is more
true. The English, the Americans, and the Chinese, have
been stupified at this meanness of the French Consul, who, to
save a few piasters, judged fit to take down the official symbol
of his nation. Besides, this functionary, who ought from
his official position to reside at Canton, inhabits Macao,where
he is not recognised, and where he cannot render any service."
We subjoin some additional extracts from the papers:
" A Toulon letter announces the arrival there of Solifnan
Paella (Colonel Selves), Major-General of the Egyptian
army, on the 20th, from Genoa, and his having taken'apart-
ments for Ibrahim Pacha and his suite, expected to arrive
shortly in the steam-frigate Nile. Orders have been re-
ceived by the port and municipal authorities to pay the
Paella all the honours due to his rank. The 3d Marines will
form a double line for him to pass from the landing-place
through the Arsenal, and the 19th of the line will pay him
the same respect through the town to his residence. The
Marquis de Lavalette, as Envoy from the Government, ar-
rived at Toulon from Paris on the 20th.
"A letter from Vienna of the 19t1, states that great pre-
parations were being made there fur the reception of the Em-
peror of Russia.
" The Austrian Government has just published an account
of its foreign trade for the year 1844, from which it appears
that the whole movement amounted to 223 millions of florins,
exch:sive of the transit. The imports amount to 114 millions,
and the exports to 109. The transit amounts to 71 millions
of florins, and the duties levied to 18.
" A letter from Lucerne states that on the 21st Dr. Pfiffer
was set at liberty, and the seals taken off his papers without
any further proceedings."

AIONE.Y and COMMERCIAL ivr
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from
4,000 to 5,000 bales, all to the trade, at 1/Bd. per lb. lower
than the quotations of last woek. The business consisted of
250 Egyptian, at 6d. to 71/2d. ; 100 Pernams at 6d. to 61/Id.,
and the remainder American, at 34d. to 7d. per lb. The
market is very flat.
Shares continued in a very depressed state, prices being
still lower than heretofore.
Among the commercial items from New York to-day, by
the Independence, we find the following:—
" The foreign trade of any country is generally looked upon
as being an index of the prosperity of the people, and is consi-
dered evidence of the progress made in commercial matters.
The extent of the imports into any country is considered evi-
dence of the wealth of the people of of that country, and the
extent of the exports some evidence of the resources of that
country. The foreign trade of every nation comprises but a
small port ion of its COMITIeI cial movements, but the outlet large
exportations give to the products of any country is sure to pro-
duce a favourable state of trade at home. We export about
one-tenth pat•t of the total agricultural products of the
country, whereas 17ve do not import a one-hundredth part of
the amount of merchandise consumed in the country. The
foreign trade of the United States at the present time, is not
so large, in proportion to the population, as it was in the early
years of the history of the country. The agricultural exports
of the country ate not so great, in proportion to the popula-
tion, as they were forty years ago. The increase in the ex-
portation of products of the soil from this country since 1800
has been confined principally to the supply of cotton."
The Flour markets in all parts of the United States w,gre
most active at the date of the present advices. The Alp-
ment s of flour for Great Britain were upon a most extensive
scale, and the supplies from the interior were considerable.
Prices, however, had advanced to such a point that it was
considered more titan probable that the recent
orders that had been received out would not be half exe-
cuted until further advices had been received out from Europe.
There is nothing fresh in the present advices of importance
connected with the Oregon question. The war party, how-
ever, was as rampant as ever, while all the respectable por-
tion of the public journals were more strongly in favour of
peace. .

The continuation upon Consols amounts to from % to %
per cent. For Money the price now is 94%, and for the Ac-
count 95%. • The market is heavy. The pay-day on the
Consular Account went off very well, and cash is said to
have become more abundant. A good deal has been done in
Exchequer-bills this morning at premiums varying from
235. to 255. Bank Stock has fallen from 254 to 203. India
Stock opened at 260, and it is now at 262.
In the Foreign Funds the prices are still drooping. Mexi-
can has receded from 2914 to 2834 ; Spanish from 28 to 27% ;
the Three per Cents. to 3714. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. were at 5814 3%, and the Four per Cents. at 911..1.
The Railway Share Markets are in a most heavy con-
dition, as the official list of prices will show :-
