was meddled with by a late Act of Parliament.
Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, £9 17s. 3d.

THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

Protector Fire

This case grew out of the unfortunate spirit of com-
bination which existed amongst the working classes of
the community, before the passing of the Act of last
Session. Its outlines were briefly these :—The defen-
dant, Mr. Kains, agreed by contract to furnish the
Government with a vessel to take convicts to New
South Wales. The ship Midas wanted repairs, and we,
sent to the dock-yard of Messrs. Curling and Young,
but the men forming a branch of the Union refused to
work, and the repairs could not be effected ; but these
persons, though refractory with their immediate em-
ployers, did not find it their interest to be equally so
U'ilk others, and, in consequence, they informed the de.
fondant that they would repair the vessel at the prices
of the regnlrr dock-yards. The Midas was then re
rnosed from the dock-yard, and repaired by the mem-
bers of the Union ; and when Butcher sent in their bill,
amounting to 2011. the defendants would pay but 155/.
alleging the remainder to be an overcharge.
The plaintiff having called witnesses in support of
his claim, Messrs. Young and Woolcomh, owners o
dock-yards, were examined for the defendant, to prove
the bill urneasonable. Both these witnesses objected to
several items, the former reducing the amount by 34/.
and the latter by 291.
The LORD CHIRP Justus, in his charge, observed
that this case grew out of a system which, if persevered
in, would not only be injurious to the interests of the
masters, but would in the end be destructive to the
men, who unfortunately suffered themselves to be led
by those who had worse designs than themselves. Such
a case, however, could not occur again, as the law was
restored to that sound state in which it was before it

The Britannia, Capt. BRADLEY, is arrived from Car-
thagena, which place she left on the 21st of May. The
.:Captain brings a confirmation of the defeat of OLANETA
by General SUCRE, but no account of the surrender or,
Callao, which one of our contemporaries stopped the
Press to announce, three weeks ago. The Jamaica
Packet, so long missing, has arrived. at Falmouth, with
a great number of passengerg.

This forenoon we received the Austrian °beaver, of
account of the re-

cent events in Greece, which are, as usual, represented
as quite unfavourable to its independence. Indeed,
legless this servile Journal has some disasters of the
Greeks, or some successes of the Turks to record, it is
silent, and its gross bias and shameless perversions of
facts, render it entitled to little credit whatever. This

Journsl represents Mmutts as having done little or no
injury to the Egyptian fleet off Modon, and destroying

only a few old slips of no value. The Captain Pacha is

stated to have not been at all retarded in his motions,

and REDSCHID PACHA as every way victorious. In

one point, however, the account in this paper agrees
with those in the French Journals, received last

night : me allude to the capitulation of Navarino,
and the garrison being allowed to carry off their bag-
gage, without any promise not to serve again against
the Porte. This is, of course, attributed to the cle-

mency of IBRAHIM PACHA, who, if we are to believe
the Austrian Journal, exceeds one of his predecessors,
the renowned SALADIX, Soldan of Egypt, in magna-

nimity. IBRAHIM is said not only to have restored
arms to the ptisuners he relea.ed, but to have even
given them others more valuable. We have, however,
only room for an extract from this precious document,
which purports to be. an article from Constantinople
of the 10.11 July. After noticing the failure of the
attack on the shipping, the repulse of the attack on
IBRAHIM'S camp, and other victories he had gained,
by which, in all, the Greeks are stated to have; lost
two thousand men, the account proceeds to notice
the terms of the capitulation of Ni, trio° on the 18th
May. The following is an exzract:
" The capitulation was concluded in the camp before Modon, in
the presence of Major Bandeira and of the Captain of the French
schooner, L'Anaaranthe. The garrison of 1,100 men obtained per-
mission to depart, leaving the arms and artillery, but retaining their
own baggage, and were conveyed on board English and Austrian
merchantmen, escorted by the Arethusa and Antsrandie, to Cala-
meta, thence to proceed to their own homes. There were In the
fortress, forty-six cannon, six mortars, 1,100 muskets, 600 pistols,
provisions for a month, and water for a fortnight.
" Tbs Greeks lost before Navarino part of their best troops, and
same of their most distinguished Officers; for instance, liadschi
Christo, son of Pietro Bey, the Hydriot Vice-Admiral Tsamados,
kc. Santa Rosa, who directed the defence, was killed in the
storming of Sphuzia. Mavrocordato, who had been sent by the
Government at Napoli to observe the progress of the siege, was in
Sphaula when it was attacked on the 9th May, and escaped by
swimming to a Greek vessel. Conduriottis, who summoned the
inhabitants of the country about Calamau to take arms, was forced
by them to fly. The return of these two members of the Govern-
ment to Napoli, their account of the state of affairs, the news of the
fall of Nevadan, and the discontent of the hloreutes, conspeUed the
Government to set Maurocordato (Colocotroni) at liberty on the
224 May, and' the Ddoreotes insisted that he should have the com-
mand of the army, u being the only man able to contend with Ibra-
him and to sive Greece.
Oa the other bind, the army of itedseldd Packs had gained se-
veriladvanti.fes, among which are particularly noticed the taking
of &lona and Urunduruk, aid the storming of the strong pass of
Imalana, or Amblani, on the north side of Parnassus, where the
Turks were last year defeated. The Scraskier wafted for the Cap-
tain Parka to blockade blis.eloogki sod Anatolia& by sae.
" The Captainrachis Seet of 34 ships of war and several transports
left the Hellespont the 26th of May, and on the 30th met the Greek
Sect of 30 sail, off Mitylene. A brisk cannonade fmmediately be-
gan, and the Turks say that seven Greek See ships exploded with
aut, and that four Greek vessels were sunk.
The Greeks, reinforced by some Hydriot vessels, resumed the
attack between Cap d'Oro and Andrea ; and some authenticated
accounts say, the Turks lost two or three ships. It seems certain,
however, that a corvette of 26 guns was driven by a storm into
Tyra; the crew of 2110 men landed, and burnt the corvette ; but
the population of the island, who are in insurrection, attacked the
crew, murdered the seamen, 22 in number, and 59 Cossacks, chow
called Zsporagi.
" The Captain Pacha, however, continued his course southward
,and was seen, on the 4th June, near Cerige, by an Austrian Captain
he may, therefore, unless he has met:pith new obstacles, have
arrived by this time in the Gulf of' Lepanto.
" While alarm and disaentions weakened the power of the Go-
vernment at Napoli, the conduct of Ibrahim was such as to pro:
mote the further success of his operations. After giving numerous
proofs of personal courage, he treated the vanquished with a
degree of moderation and generosity which even his enemies ac-
knowledge. Ile has released all the prisoners taken in various
actions before the capitulation of the fortress; many of them re-
ceived ample presents, several bad their arms restored, and some
even received others more valuable, in their stead.
" The Garrison was allowed to go home, without any condition
being imposed that they should not again hear arms against the
Turks; only two of their Chiefs were detained in the camp as hos-
tages for two Pashas, unjustly kept by the Greeks since the
taking of Napoli di Romania."

According to a letter from Cadiz, dated June 24, in
the French Papers, some discussion bad taken place between the
Commander of the Active British frigate and the Commander of a
French brig of war employed on the quarantine service. It Is said
that the French Commander sent a boat on board the English fri-
gate, to intimate that she could not enter the bay without perform-
ing quarantine, and that as there was no convenient station for that
purpose at Cadiz, the ACTIVZ must proceed to Port Mahon. The
Captain of the ACTIVs replied, that he had come to a Spanish',
port, and that be cotskl, therefore, recognise only Spanish Autho-
rities. Several communications passed between the parties, the
result of which was, that the Active entered the bay without
performing quarantine. A Spanish Officer, arrived at Bourdeane
from Peru, has publisfied an account of the battle of Ayacucho, in
which he attributes the bad success of the Royalists to the want of
harmony among the principal Officers. The Ilersiseur contains a
letter from Milan, dated June SO, the object of which is to prove
that the tumult among the Students of Pavia was excited by artful
persons unconnected with the schools, who entertained revolution-
ary views, and that the Students were merely their instruments.—
Their Imperial Manama had left Milan, and the Diplomatic Body
were said to be on the point of returning to Vienna.

Perhaps one of the strongest and best-founded charges
against the Roman Catholic Religion is, that if it is not
really inimical to education, it does little to promote it.
This reproach it behoves the Roman Catholics to wipe
out, and some efforts have, within the last few years,
been made for that purpose, and with what success
will be apparent from the Reports of the Commissioners
of Irish Education Enquiry. It was estimated, by a
very careful Committee, in 1812, that the number of
children and adults in education at that time in Ireland
was about 200,000. Two detailed accounts have now
been presented, one by the Protestant, the other by the

Roman Catholic Clergy. According to the -formet .1
the number in educatidn is 498,641: according td the
latter, 522,016—50 that, by the lowest estimate, the
number of pupils, within the last twelve yeas at, has
considerably more than doubled
This is an important fact, but it is still more so that
the principle of educating the lower classes has not only
been acknowledged by the Roman Catholic Prelates,
in the establishment of schools of general instruction
for children of a'l religious persuasions, but that they
have sanctioned the inttoduction of the New Testa-
ment into those schools, for the use of Roman Ca-
tholic children.
These points were settled at a Meeting of the Com-
missioners of Education Enquiry, with Dr. MURRAY
and the three other Roman Catholic Archbishops of
Leland. At the interview with Dr. MURRAY, in De-
cember last, the Commissioners stated, " that as it was
only by training up the youth of all persuasions in habits
of early intercourse and attachment, that they could
hope to establish among them those reciprocal cha-
rities upon which the peace and harmony of society
must depend, they could not consider any system of
education as deserving that name, which should not
I seek to lay the foundations of all moral obligation
in religions instruction."
The Commissioners then inquired" if there would be
any objection to common literary instruction being received by
Roman Catholics as 'well from a Protestant as a Roman Catholic
master, and whether religious instruction could be given to Roman
Catholics by a Roman Catholic Layman approved of by the Ro-
man Catholic Pastor?' To this Dr. illonear stated, there could
be no possible objections ; and she mode in which it is proposed to
accomplish the object is thia--In every parish a school is to be
established, with two Teachers, Laymen, one of whom shall be a
Belem Catholic, where any considerable number of the children
are Catholics, and one a Presbyterian, where any considerable num-
ber of the children are Presbyterians. On two days hi the week the
school shall break up early, and the rest of the day shall be devoted
to the religious instruction of the Protestant children, the Clergy-
man attending: and on two other days the same circumstances
shall take place with regard to the Roman Catholic children, tinder
the care of a Lay Teacher approved of by the Pastor of their own
persuasion. •-
For the foundation and management of such Schools of General
Instruction, the Commissioners recommend that a Beard be ap-
pointed, with authority to controul the application and expenditure
of the public money appropriated to the purposes of general educa-
tion. Such Board to appoint Inspectors with power to examine
upon oath, and draw up rules for the Schoolmasters, who shall be
sworn to conform to them. The Board also to have a 1•gal right
to the school-house, nominate all the Schoolmasters, and have the
exclusive sanction of the school books.
We trust' this plan will produce the benefits expected from it ;
at all events it is a great step towards conciliation between Protes.
tant and Catholic, and certainly no inconsiderable step towards
promoting general education.

The unwearied exertions of the Society for Pro-
moting the Enlargement and Building of Churches,
cannot fail of producing the happiest consequences on
the morals and editcat:on of the people. As no Society
has for its object a cause more desirable, or prefers
st! onus claims to the support of the public, we hail
with peculiar pleasure the commencement of a Conn=
try Auxiliary Sniety, sensible how mach may be done
by exertions in the country, similar to those made in
the metropolis. We allude to a Requisition signed
by the Bishop of EtZTER, and several Noblemen
and Gentlemen of the county of Devon ; in conse-
11quence of which, a Meeting has been convened by the
MAYOR of Exeter, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the propriety of forming a Local Com-
mittee, in aid of the Society for Promoting the En-
largement and Building of Churches and Chapels.
The venerable Society for Promoting Christian Know-
ledge would never have attained its present state of usefulness, had
it not been for the formation of Diocesan and District Committees,
to whose exertions must chiefly be attributed that large increase in
the number of benefactions and annual subscriptions which it has
received within these few years; nor woullthe funds of the British
and Foreign Bible Society ever have amounted to ninety or a hun-
dred thousand pounds a year, had it not been for the Branch and
Auxiliary Societies, established not only in country towns, but in
distinct parishes.
The same measures must be adoptea in reference to the Society
for Enlarging Churches, if its valuable operations are to be conti-
nued through the liberality of the public, unaided by Parliament;
for it never can be expected that the same persons shall, year after
year, repeat their subscriptions to a Society which, from the very
nature of the work in which it is engaged, requires large pecu-
niary supplies.
The extensive usefulness of this Society, even with the limited
means it possesses. will be apparent, from the feet that, by the ex-
penditure of £86,140, it has been the means of furnishing Church-
room to the extent of 115,714 sittings, and of that number 84,548
are for the poor. On looking over the list of contributors, it ap-
pears that all this good has been effected by the subscriptions of
about 1,400 persons, who now, for the third time, are recruiting
the funds of the Society. These are facts which cannot I* made
too extensively known, and we know no means so likely to accom-
plish this, as by the ormation of Auxiliary or Branch Societies,
and District Committees.
