The Chambers have, in the meantime, decided by 81 to 66, that Olozaqa should be put on his trial for the events of the evening of the 28th. As Olo-zaga courted this step, as the best means of vindicating his character, and we may add of effectually embarrassing hh successors, many of his friends in the Progresista party must have voted in the majority of 81. A trial under such circumstances, and where a Sovereign of 13 years of age is the principal, and in the strict sense the only witness, is a proceeding that cannot be but detrimental to the constitutional stability of the kingdom.

In the United States the admirable letters of the Rev. Sydney Smith had been received, and formed a bitter doze. Some of the journals remark, that the innocent should not be confounded with the guilty, or a stigma affixed to the na-tional character, because nine States have repudiated their obligations. Others resort to bullying and coarse abuse of the author, as if shameless assurance could atone for downright roguery. But no one ventures on an answer to the letters, and for the best of all reasons because they cannot be answered, except by fulfilling the obligation.

He who follows it is attended by irritating inward difficulties and disappointments, not only of an ordinary kind, but by those emanating from the pursuit of the art itself, his mental conceptions, for a long period, ever being in advance of his progress in its absfruser rules; and, as seems to be the destmy of his fraternity, this toil he generally pursues amidst surrounding outward privations, and embarrassments as many, under which a devoted love of his sublime art and the hope of future celebrity and reward which mnv at some distant day attend its complete attainment, could alone support him.

That the Red Sea at Sue being higher by 32 feet than the Mediterranean at Peluaium, the water being once let into the cnnal would form a perpetual current through it, flowing from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean at a velocity of about four miles per hour, and that this stream would not only keep the canal clear, but gradually deepen it that any npprehension ol this open-ing altering either the level of the Red Sea or tho Mediterranean is groundless and puerile. 3.

The mode or presentation, we have been assured, was as follows: Mr Smith culled upon Mr John Tate, with whom he was hut slightly acquainted. I have thought it right to come and tell you that I have given mvay the living held by your late father." Mr Tate boned as-ent, looking, of course, rather rueful, and replied, No doubt the appointment is a very proper one." Yes, very proper I have given it to a most deserving person.

What is an odd coincidence, too, is that his name is Tate John Mr Tate coloured, and his sisters burst into tears. And there," quickly added Mr Smith, he sits before me." Athenceam.

Because the section proposed by M. Linant is scarcely of sufh. cient widih, and not a s.iffieient allowance made for deepening the entrance at Suez. 2. Because the cost of erecting the pier or breakwater appears to be considerably under-estimaieil, tbe shore of tho Mediterraneao at that patt where it would bo required being so very flat.

Neither indeed does it appear that the practicability of constructing such a breakwater, and forming a haibour for vessels entering or coming out of the canal, has ns tet been sufficiently ascertained. It is not, however, necessary at present to discuss nt length these points, because should circumstances ever concur to render this enterprise an object of adventure to piivate capitalists, doubtless a verification of M. Linant's survey and estimates by other engineers, of first-rate eminence, would be nn indispensable preliminary to any other outlay being made on the works; nnd if tbe canal should be found to afford the advantages over the ordinary route by the Cape of Good Hope for sailing vessels, which are hereafter alluded to, it would jield a revenue sufficient to repay an outlov of several million', qs I shall endeavour to" Bhow under the bead of Financial Considerations." Assuming that this survey and report shall be found correct, the necessary political arrangements are pointed out, and the effects of the scheme, both as regards steam and sailing vessels, investigated. We can only quote the passage referring to the transit of the mails acute and so deep as to be capable ot appreL-iuung, nnd appronriating to his art every varied feeling by which those of his fellow-creatures ore excited.

And by means of tho Ill" and certificates of having gone through legitimate scholastic curriculum and professional status technical essentials quite as desirable for one College Chair as another compare them with a teacher of music of former days or with, it may be, a clever musical critic, or with one whose chief distinction is that of being a good organist, albeit he may be a decent theorist tool Thouh last not least, compare the'r pretensiuns with those of an itinerant musical adventurer, whose lectures are mere rhapsodies, whose "system" (as he terms it) beyond a certain point is mere quackery, unable to convey his discordant crowd beyond the mere thresbholJ of his art, and whose own works prove that he himself would fail and fall were he to attempt the reach of its loftiest structure compare them, and the distance is as wide as that between the sublime and the ridiculous. As regards Mr Robert Miiller, there is something particularly strange in his never having been thought of. His education, acquirements, and proficiency are undeniable, and he has now proved that be possesses another very essential requisite, namely, the talent of publicly imparting his knowledge in a clear, and agreeable form. But he is, though of German origin, by birth a Scotchman, at present a citizen of Edinburgh too, and one mould have thought, that, unless national feeling be withered to a mere dry specimen, the patrons of an Edinburgh Professorship would, from notional pride, hoie selected one of their countrj men if possible there are some however who, as it is rumoured, are inclined to select a wandering stranger, who tenches but the alphabet of his art, and who thioughout the musical schools of Europe is laughed ut as a Charlatan.

We see some unfavourable statements in the New York Herald, respecting the probability of Pennsylvania doing justice to her creditors, but bad as IS our opinion of all the non-paying felates, we do not attach much importance to mere speculative opinions, and deem it the better policy to finance mutters not to excite alarm, unless upon decided grounds, any more than to raise exaggerated hopes, upon the appearance merely of a return to better times. Rather an extraordinary return appears in the New York journals, giving the number of Banks in that State, and of which it might be truly said, Their name is Legion their capital, however, in comparison with English Bunks, being altogether paltry, viz. 43,369,722 dollars. They have recently increased their circulation, but their deposits have rather fallen off. From Canada direct we have nothing beyond mere rumour respecting Sir Charles Metcalfe's apprehended return to England.

Mr Cameron, the Commissioner appointed to inquire into the state of the Customs' Departments along the Canadian frontier, reports the extent of the smuggling to exceed by iar the general impression of it. Of 50,000 chests of tea annually consumed in the province, only 18,000 pay duty and in the extensive districts nloiig the Lawrence, leather, tobacco, boots, ate smuggled in by wholesale. As the day upon which payment of the interest on the Spanish Three per is usually announced approaches, the greatest anxiety is felt to gain intelligence, favourable or otherwise, upon this interesting point, of more importance in reference to the maintenance of almost the last thread attached to Spanish credit, than to the amount at stake. People very naturally contend, that if the dividend cannot be paid upon the 3 per what is the value of the larger mass of stock Assiduous as we have been from the commencement to check unnecessary alarm in the minds of the holders, we have been careful also to collect opinions, and to speak guardedly our impression, founded upon the information given tUat the interest will be paid. Although we have ourselves no actual authority for affirming that the money is here, we are glad to observe that the accounts from Madrid mention that the amount has been secured by a contract with Salamanca, or as we should think more probable, in the manner stated by us some days since, by the hypothecation to that wealthy capitalist of a portion of the Havannah bills.

The holders now more plainty than ever discover how much their interest would have been Secured had a portion of the quicksilver proceeds been steadily handed over by the contractors to the London agentB.

Why, he would immediately sign the document, and con form to the law rather than lose the office. This is happily, however, a. supposition which there is little risk of being realised.

Then if we look to the safety of the Established Church, we cannot see how this can be in the most remote degree enhanced by the intervention of a rule which will exclude none except those who, by recoiling fromt the test, give an earnest both of their religious sincerity and their moral worth, and hence, caete-ris paribus, of their aptitude for the duty. Should! a Professor choose to deviate from his province and mingle his prelections on law, literature, or science with matter of religious disputation, we-presume that he would be amenable to the discipline of the Senatus. But how improbable is it that a man who has previously approved himself and gained that academical position, should seek to go out of his way to tamper with the religious-feelings of the students as remarked in one of the resolutions of the Marischal College" Common sense, and a feeling of honour, as well as the increased emoluments derived by every Professor or Lecturer from an increase in the number of his pupils, have united in producing this-effect (the absence of all such irrelevant tepica without any tests or declarations." On the-whole, though we cannot conceive how Establishment should be benefited by sanctioning a principle so essentially intolerant, but on the other hand it requires no divination to anticipate the odium that would accrue to the-Church at an otherwise critical juncture, and the fatal influence on the welfare of the Universities.
