Queen's College Cork.-Opening of the Session of 1851–52.— Progress of the mixed Collegiate system in Ireland.-Notwithstanding we have so frequently of late, noticed, in a spirit of natural exultation, the progress of education in this country, we feel that no apology is necessary for recurring to the subject in connexion with the proceedings which took place in the Queen's College, on the 3rd of November. In the Examination Hall of that College, we saw on that day the middle and upper classes of this city, congregated for the purpose of manifesting their approbation of the system of education pursued within its walls since its formation. The importance and significance of the attendance we are disposed to estimate more highly than we would on any previous occasion. To all intents and purposes we construe the entrance of Catholic pupils by their parents, and the attendance of the Catholic chief magistrate of this Catholic community, and so many of our leading Catholics at the proceedings yesterday, as tantamount to a formal declaration on the part of the laity that they will manfully maintain their temporal rights against any interference whatsoever. When it is considered that a deputation from the Transatlantic Packet Station Committee visited this city yesterday, for the purpose of examining our harbour, the presence at the College of so many of our fellow-citizens of high standing is the more remarkable. The event proved that the Cork people, while they are fully alive to the importance of securing direct communication between this country and America, they are not insensible to the high er claims which the educational movement has on their support, at this particular crisis; and that the feeling in favour of that movement is steadily progressing. Indeed, in the list of those present yesterday, we observe the names of some whom, up to the present, we had understood to be opposed to the Queen's Colleges. There is one part of the President's address to which we direct the attention of those who oc. cupy the important position of teachers. It is evident, as the President observes, that, on the secondary education given in the classical schools throughout the country, it will depend whether any advance shall be made in the standard of entrance qualification. It is very true, indeed, that private schoolmasters will find it difficult to introduce the necessary reforms, but if a few succeed in carrying them out, in each of the provinces, the general body will make stronger efforts to imitate their example. As to the Royal Schools of Ireland, the abuses of which have become almost as notorious as the Cathedral trusts in England, we are glad to see that something is likely to be done shortly to reform them, and make them what they were originally intended to be. Colonel Rawdon, M. P, has been for some time collecting all the necessary information respecting the present mismanagement of these establishments, and, no doubt, in the next Seg. sion of Parliament steps will be taken for rendering them more useful. In the eloquent remarks with which the address of the President concludes, we cordially concur. After two years' existence, during which the College has had to undergo the most jealous, captious scrutiny, it has continued to attract still closer the sympathy and approval of the more intelligent of the community of all creeds, and to disarm not a few opponents of their hostility. "Thrown," says the address, "into the hottest furnace, the Colleges have increased in fullness and efficiency, unscathed, gaining, amongst the fires expected to consume them, the strength which now enables them to offer to Ireland the realization of that plan of University edu cation of which, two years ago, but an imperfect sketch could be presented." Of the result of the conflict we have no fear. In this, as in every other struggle, the fury of barbarism and ignorance will waste itself before the cool discipline of civilization.-[Cork paper. The Queen's College, Galway.-The following very gratifying statement with respect to the Queen's College, Galway, appears in the Vindicator:-" We believe that all attempts to arrest the progress of sound mixed education will prove utterly abortive in this country. The experience of each succeeding day strengthens us in this opinion. In Galway, where the whole strength of the opponents of mixed education was put forth, the new college is completely triumphant. At the matriculations, to-day and yesterday, the number of fresh students entering the college amounted to twenty-eight. From the sound system of education adopted in the Galway College, and the acknowledged ability of the several professors, it was reasonably supposed that there would at least be no falling off under any circumstances; but we were not prepared to expect so large an increase to the number of the students who have already matriculated. The fact of such an addition to the ranks of mixed education in Galway is in itself a sufficient protest against any interference with that freedom of opinion which an enlightened laity will be ever found ready to appreciate and sustain. At the October examinations last year there were only thirteen martriculated students, which fact renders the present increase the more significant, and gives a strong guarantee of the future success of the institution." General remarks on the foregoing:-The system of mixed education in the Queen's Colleges, Ireland, as well as under the National Board, is daily taking firmer hold, and more strongly uniting the various Teligious denominations in its support, notwithstanding all the efforts made by its opponents to excite hostility against it. In the Queen's Colleges at Cork and Galway, pupils, including a full proportion of Roman Catholics, are steadily augmenting; the ordinary National Schools are still extend ing, whilst the National Model Schools (against which peculiar grounds of opposition have been recently started) are represented by the local clergy of the different religious denominations as admirably calculated to promote sound secular education, with ample opportunities for religious instruction, without the slightest interference with the religion professed by any of the children.-[English paper.

Schools in New Mexico.—The St. Louis Republican, of November 2, has the following interesting paragraph :-" We had the pleasure of greeting the Rev. Mr. Reed of the American Baptist mission, formerly chaplain in the U. S. army, direct from Santa Fe. Mr. R. has been engaged in the worthy effort to establish English schools in the territory, such as the Mexicans and Pueblo Indians would be willing to support. His labors thus far have been eminently successful, and he now visits the United States to procure means and teachers, and extend his schools into various parts of the territory. We trust his efforts will be seconded throughout the States, for there is no portion of the territory of the United States that more eminently needs the schoolmaster than New Mexico.

Mr. Gutzlaff, the famous Chinese missionary and scholar, died at Canton on the 9th August last, in the 48th year of his age. He was by birth a Pomeranian, and was sent to the East by the Netherlands Missionary Society in 1827; and after spending four years in Batavia, Singapore, and Siam, he went to China in 1831. Being of an erratic disposition, within the next two years he made three voyages along the coast of China, then comparatively unknown. On the death of the elder Morrison, in 1834, Mr. Gutzlaff was employed by the British Superintendency as an interpreter, and was employed in that capacity during the war.

Lectures at the Toronto Mechanics' Institute.-Two Lectures, of which the following is an abstract, have been delivered in the Institute this season thus far. Others of equal interest and importance are announced* The first Lecture of the season was on Terrestrial Magnetism." It was delivered by the director of Her Majesty's Magnetical Observatory in this city, Capt. LEFROY, R.A., F.R.S. Very little, the Lecturer remarked, appears to have been known of the earth's magnetism, even in its effects upon the Mariner's Compass, before the time of William Norman, a clockmaker of Loudon, who, in the 16th century, discovered "the dip," or that force which causes a magnetic bar of iron, when freely and equally suspended, to assume an inclined position to the earth's surface, north or south of the magnetic equator. It has been found that the dip is subject to continual variations. In London, in 1773, the dip was 72° 19' and 1830, only 69° 38'. At Toronto the dip is now about 75o, and is slowly suffering a small variation. The phenomenon of the dip was strikingly shown by causing a dipping needle to move along a inagnetic bar of iron. At the centre of the bar it assumed a horizontal position, corresponding to the real position of the needle at the magnetic equator of the earth. As it was moved towards the northern or southern end of the bar, it dipped towards them, in proportion to its proximity with them. When over the poles, it stood vertically. Capt. Lefroy exhibited, by means of diagrams, the situations of those parts of the earth, where there is no dip, which correspond nearly with the equator. Lines of equal variation, and of no variation, were also exhibited, traced over a map of the earth's surface. The mode of measuring the variation of magnetic force was illustrated by causing a dipping needle to vibrate, and then counting the number of vibrations that occurred before it assumed a position of rest. The number of these vibrations varies at different parts of the earth's surface, and thus indicates the variations of magnetic force. This mode of measuring the variations in magnetic force, on different parts of the earth's surface, was undertaken by Humboldt, in his first expedition to South America. Humboldt's name was alluded to by Capt. Lefroy, in language expressive of deep admiration and feeling. If, said the eloquent lecturer, we seek for an example of that ardour with which some men investigate the mysterious and wonderful works of nature, we may contem late a young man, more than half a century ago, laying the shadowy foundation of a science, which he has since pursued with such astonishing zeal, acuteness and success, as to have infused his own warm and investigating spirit of observation into the seientific bodies of every civilized country; and not being contented with exciting a spirit of enquiry, he has succeeded in inducing the Governments of England, Russia, and the States of Germany, to join in one harmonious scheine for advancing our knowledge of the phenomena and cause of Terrestrial Magnestism. Thirty different stations have been established over the surface of the earth, to watch the changes and measure the inten sity of this force-a force existing in the earth to such an extent, that if it were concentrated on one point, it would exercise an influence equal to that of eight thousand four hundred and sixty-four trillions of magnets, similar to the one he held in his hand. This vast force appears to be concentrated, as it were, in four different poles, two of whieh are situated in the northern hemisphere, two in the southern. These poles do not coincide with the ་ northern and southern poles of the earth, but appear to revolve about them, in very unequal periods of time. The magnetic equator of these poles crosses the earth at four points. Its form and position are also undergoing continual changes. The intensity with which the magnetic needle is at racted towards these poles varies at different hours of the day. So also does the direction of the needle, usually called the variation of the compass; this amounted at Toronto to a little more than one degree and a half west in the year 1848. The variation of direction is also subject to a daily hange. It is least at about seven o'clock, a. m. and greatest about 2, p. m. It is also greater in summer than in the winter. Captain Lefroy made a very touching allusion to the Franklin expedition one of whose chief objects was to make observations on Terrestrial Magnetism. Many men of exalted reputation, as Sabine, Hausteen, Humboldt, and Gauss, had devoted their lives to the study of this branch of knowledge, others had perilled and even lost their lives, in laborious and difficult observation of its changes and effects. Governments had expended vast sums of money in assisting their researches; and one vast expedition has now been lost to the civilized world, for many years, in a region of ice. It would be asked, what has been done by all this xpenditure of time, labour, and treasure in the cause of science? But little apparently as yet. The collected observations now amount to more than twenty-seven quarto volumes of figures. These have yet to be compared with one another, and deductions drawn from the results; but as for any confirmed theory of Terrestrial Magnetism nothing seemed to be absolutely certain. Captain Lefroy then alluded to the discovery of the magnetic power of oxygen when heated by Faraday; who considered that terrestrial inagnetism was mainly induced by the warmth imparted to the oxygen of air, by the sun's heating rays. It was, however, thought by those who knew most about the phenomena of terrestrial magnetism, that Faraday's theory did not completely set the question at rest. He (Capt. Lefroy) felt sure, however, that the labour of the observer and the liberality of Government, would not be in vain. Whatever had been called into existence by the Creator, was well worthy of being examined and investigated by all His intelligent worshippers, and he was satisfied with the conviction, that time would bring due reward to those who in faith quietly pursued their work, that as in days of old heathen men deified the inventors of the sickle and the plough, so in times to come Christian men would signify their approbation in a better and more enduring form, of the labours of those who are now confidently seeking a hidden treasure, fraught with benefit to all mankind in time to come. The second Lecture on "The Dawn of English Literature" was delivered by the Rev. Dr. BURNS. This interesting subject was treated in a masterly manner, and must have been instructive and entertaining to a large and numerous audience, entirely filing the hall. The Lecturer commenced with a brief account of the state of learning in theearliest period of British history, anterior to the time of the venerable Bede, known as the father of English literature, respecting whose character and acquirements the Reverend lecturer spoke at some length. After alluding to several illustrious names that shone in the general darkness immediately preceding the reign of Alfred the Great, he passed on to mention the great exertions made by that monarch for the encouragement of learning, not only by the example of industry set by himself, but by founding schools for all classes of his subjects, and inviting to his court illustrious men of al nations, famed for their wisdom and learning. The lecturer also pointed out how the gradual formation of the present English language, was continually going on by the constant infusion of new elements till after the time of the Norman invasion, when a new impulse was given to the spread of learning by the Norman scholars, who took great pride in academical honors, and by the eximple of many of their monarchs. The crusades also in their turn, by the introduction of new sciences and the acquirements of new languages, added greatly to the stock of learning. In the time of Edward the First, the lecturer went on to say, the study of law in particular was carried to a great extent, being attended with a beneficial result to the people in general, by improving the laws themselves, and giving stability to the national character. The lecturer then passed on to speak of Chaucer, the father of English literature, and Wyckliffe, the father of the English reformation; and to show the state of the English language at that period, he read an extract from Wyckliffe's translation of the Bible, pointing out the great similarity between his version and the one in present use. tie also read extracts from the travels of Sir John Mandeville, written by himself, showing how much beauty and eloquence were combined with the quaintness and oddity of his style: He also read the Lord's prayer in the Anglo-Saxon language, comparing it sentence by sentence with the English translation of the 8th century, to show the state of the language of that period. The lecturer then alluded to a remark in the Eat nburgh Review, stating if all the literature of the United States of America were swept away from the republic of letters, the loss would not be felt. This statement he strongly condemned, and concluded by reading an extract from a poem written by a professor of an American College to disprove the remark. [Abridged from the British Colonist and Patriot Alleged Discovery of Perpetual Motion.-The Courier de la Gironde states that a civil engineer of Bordeaux, named De Vignernon, has discovered the perpetual motion. His theory is said to be to find in a mass of water, at rest, and contained within a certain space, a continual force, able to replace all other moving powers. The above journal declares that this has been effected, and that the machine invented by M. de Viguernon works admirably. A model of the machine was to be exposed at Bordeaux for three days, previous to the inventor's departure with it for London. Editorial and Official Notices, &c.
