EVERYBODY, we fancy, has by this time formed his opinion of the extraordinary statement with which Mr. ROEBUCK astonished the House of Commons on Tuesday evening. His report of what passed at that exciting interview with His MAJESTY at the Tuileries, although strengthened with the most solemn asseverations, will never be brought forward as evidence—will never be ac cepted as material of history. Mx. ROEBUCK pledged his veracity on the occasion, and his vera city, as we all know, is like his honesty—unassail able. Half England would have vouched for his veracity on Tuesday morning, and although his report has been shattered into a thousand frag manta by the statements of the Escriaoa's authorised Minister, his veracity probably stands as high as ever. The fact is instructive. Here is a person undertaking what is apparertly the eimples. task—undertaking to give an account of a con versation carried on in circums;anoes altogether favourable to attention and a correct understanding of what was said--and yet, although that person is a witness of undoubted veracity, for anything that his report is worth he might as well be notorious for untruthfulness. The result, we say, is instruc tive. " The world will believe me," cried the honourable gentleman. No doubt the world was ready to believe him, and may still be so, but the world will not again accept his uncorroborated statement of what passes at private inter views. Mr. Rosenci has reminded us that the purely subjective quality which we call veracity— the absence of all intention to deceive, but in its stead, a positive love for truth—is far from being of itself a sufficient guarantee for accuracy of state ment when the relator is under the sway of circum stances strong enough to excite his imagination and feelings, and so to influence his judgment. Such appears to have been Mr. ROEBUCK'S situation in the presence of the French EPAPEKOR at Paris. The hon. gentleman has for some time past been cultivating " sensations," and the habit grows upen him. He is fond of placing himself in strange situations, and getting into strange com pany. For a confirmed Radical, Mr. Rome' has begun to make the acquaintance of Emperors too late in life. Their affability, simplicity, and good intentions, so complete, sincere, and unexpected, are too much for him ; and it is no wonder that the effects are strange, unwonted, and mysterious. A worse man would have done his errand better. We may see, further, from Mr. Rozerct's experi ment how treacherous are these short-cuts to truth. The hon. member saw that the world—himself and Mr. LINDSAY excepted —was being deceived. He knew the Treasury Bench, knew the unscru yulousnese of official men, a n d h ear d rumours wilicit he was sure could not be true. "Let as " just go over," he said, " look in upon the " EXPEROL, and bear for ourselves." So he went, saw the face of MAJESTY, and has come back again ; and that is about all that the public can make out from the wonderful story of this most veracious of travellers. The world has been warned by this little episode. It will not prize veracity any the less for the failure of its most distinguished professor to tell the truth, but it will value more than ever the equal, balanced mind, and expect less in future from a virtue which passes so easily into vanity as to blind its possessor to what is panting before his eyes. Tim public will observe with satisfaction Sir Grouts Gary's statement, in answer to an inquiry by Mr. Horace', that Lord PLUM/RON will probably be in his place in the House of Commons on Monday next. The Pazistas has been away from the House nearly a fortnight, and its mem bers have more than once or twice had reason to EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1863. LATEST INTELLIGENOIL (RIVAS'S Tzmiliam.) AMERICA. (Per the Africa.) CAPTURE OF A CONFEDERATE IRON CLAD STEAMER. PROGRESS OF THE INVASION. NEW YORK, JONI 22, Evirgmo. The Confederate ironclad steamer Atlanta, for merly the Finlay, steamed out of Savannah and was captured by two Federal ironclad', after 30 minutes' fighting. The blockading squadron has sunk the steamer Herald of Charleston. The fate of the crew is un known. Broadsides were fired at the vessel till she sank. It is stated that in future the fleet will not wait to capture but will fire at blockade runners till they sink or surrender. A steamer, supposed to be the Isaac Smith, has been sunk while endeavouring to get out of Charleston. A steamer, supposed to be the Beauregard or Britannia, was sunk on the 11th inst. while endea vouring to enter Charleston. A schooner privateer is cruising off Nantucket, and a burning vessel has been seen in that vicinity. The privateer Tacony captured the Liverpool packet, Isaac Webb, on the 20th, in long. 68 and lat. 40.35, and bonded her for 40,000 dollars. The Tacony has also burned the brig Umpire. Admiral Foote is dying. The reported fighting at Centreville is not confirmed, and it is denied that there is any Confederate infantry force on this side of the Bull Run mountains. General Lee does not occupy Thoroughfare Gap, and his army is not nearer Washington than the Shenandoah Valley, although there M a Confederate cavalry force at Middleburg, in the centre of London Valley. General Pleasanton attacked General Stuart's cavalry at Middleburg on the 21st, and reports that be drove them all day, capturing two pieces of artillery and 60 prisoners. The estimates of the Confederate forces massed on the Upper Potomac at Williamsport, Hagerstown, Sharpsburg, and around Antietam, and Frederick, vary from 40,000 to 80,000 men. General Ewell is said to be fortifying Hagerstown. The Confederatts have erected a substantial bridge across the Potomac at Williamsport, and a pontoon bridge at Shepherd's Town. They have de stroyed all the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road bridges from Harper's Ferry to Cum berland. The apprehensions of an attack on Baltimore have not abated. Earthworks are erected around the west and north aides of the city, and barricades in the streets. Federal militia continue to be sent there. General Lee officially reports, on the 15th inst., that General Ewell's division suc cessfully stormed the entrenchments of Winchester. Milroy's defeat appears to have been disastrous, since he abandoned three batteries of field artillery, siege guns, 28 waggons, and 1,200 horses ; 5,000 of his troops are missing : but they continue to come in from various parts of the country. The Federal General Keyes, with a force from the Peninsula, was within 17 miles of Richmond on the 15th. A small force of Confederate cavalry has crossed the Ohio river, with the intention of making a raid into Indiana, but the greater portion were captured. The Governor of Indiana has called out 20,000 militia for six months. NEW YORK, Sum 23, Evxmnio. The Confederates have reoccupied Chambersburg, and apprehensions of their advancing on Harrisburg are renewed. In consequence of the slaughter of negro troops at Milliken's Bend, General Grant has threatened to retaliate if coloured troops are executed when captured. General Johnstone is fortifying the east bank of Big Black River. The Confederates estimate their loss during General Grant's different attacks on Vicksburg at 6,000 men, and the Federal losses at 40,000. They think that Grant's present force, with the rein forcements which he has received, does not exceed 60,000 men. No fears are expressed of a want of provisions at Vicksburg. Advices from New Orleans to the 14th represent the siege at Port Hudson to be progressing favourably. Southern journals assert that the Federal steamer Essex had been captured at Port Hudson, and several gunboats disabled, and that a battle occurred at Po,:, Hudson on the 12th, during which the Confederates left their entrenchments, drove General Banks from his fortifications, and spiked his guns. Sixteen Mobile adventurers have captured the Federal steamer Boston at the mouth of the Mis sissippi, afterwards burning two barques, and taking the steamer into Mobile. A Confederate cavalry force, numbering 900, has invaded Indians, in order to burn the bridges o the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. The Federal General Carter's cavalry is making a raid in East Tennessee. The Confederates are reported to be moving on the whols Federal line from Memphis to Corinth, and cutting the railroads and telegraph wires. The Federal expedition from Port Royal has entirely destroyed the town of Darien, Georgia. Nothing was known at Newbern of the forces reported to have concentrated in North Carolina for resistance to the Confederate government. The Confederate iron-clad Chattahooeha has been destroyed by an explosion while making a raid on the Federal fleet at Palachicols. The British brig Isabella Thompson has been captured. The Pete rhoff trial has been postponed. NEW YORK, Juaa 23, EVINII4O. . _ . Money easier. Gold, 431 per cent. prern.—Ez change on London : Bankers' bills, 156 k. Stocks very firm.

General Ewell is reported to be in Bonneaboro' Valley, Maryland, with from 30,000 to 40,000 men. He crossed at Antietam ford and Shepherds town. The Federals have reoccupied Frederick. General Hooker was in Washington yesterday, where a council of war was held. Mr. Vallandigham ran the blockade at Wilming ton, in a vessel bound to Nassau. One thousand citizens are said to be encamped at Bloomington, Indiana, with pickets extending eight miles around, for the purpose of resisting the draft. An enrolling officer has been shot dead in Penn sylvania while arresting deserters. Two men have been shot dead in Maine while arresting two deserters, who afterwards committed suicide. General Schenk has forbidden the Baltimore papers to publish extracts from the New York World and Express. The privateer Tacony burned six schooners and three ships off Nantucket, on Monday last The steamer Ruby has been driven ashore off Charleston. It is reported that Captain Semmes has trans ferred his command from the Alabama to the steamer Georgia. LATER NEWS. EXCITEMENT IN PENNSYLVANIA AND MARYLAND. RUMOURED ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE ALABAMA AND THE VANDERBILT. NEW YORK, Jaws 25, Evniata. (By Takgraph to Halifax.) The panic and apprehension caused by the Con federate invasion continue throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland. The citizens from the border are hurrying to Harrisburg, and thousands of men are working on entrenchments in Baltimore and Pitts burg. General Hailed has visited Baltimore, and in spected the defences. This morning the Confederates were within 16 miles of Harrisburg, and were reported to have 10 regiments, with artillery and cavalry, in South Mountain, beyond Gettysburg. Lee's object in threatening various points in Pennsylvania is still supposed to be to draw Hooker's army from Washington. Generals Lee and Loogstreet, with 100,000 men, were reported to have been at Winchester on Friday last, and it is supposed that Lee's whole army has creased since ',Friday into Maryland at Antietam, Sheppardstown, and Williamsport. On Sunday large Confederate trains were moving north through, Hagerstown, Martinsburg, and Boonesborough. Rhodes' Confederate division, 12,000 strong with 13 pieces of artillery, crossed at Shepparctstown on Sunday. Half of them moved northward on Tuesday, and the other half went to Williamsport.. The Baltimore American says that General Ewell is advancing in the direction of Frederick. General Hooker's army occupies the whole Vir ginia shore of the Potomac up to Harper's Ferry, and it is supposed that General Hooker will cross the Potomac at the same fords where Lee entered Maryland last year, and place himself be tween Lee and Washington and Baltimore. The garrison at Maryland heights now forms the right wing of Hooker's army. Ewell's advance towards Frederick is supposed to be to prevent the junction of Hooker with Harper's Ferry, but this junction is said to have been accomplished. The New York Herald thinks that General Lee's forces will cut the different railroad lines, and iso late Maryland and Washington from communication with the North and West, and that Lee, with his main army, will occupy some central point between Baltimore and Washington, and compel Hooker to corns out and fight, under pain of being isolated from the Eaat, North, and West. Twenty thousand of General Bragg's troops are reported to have reinforced Richmond. The Governor of New Jersey has recalled the troops of that state from Pennsylvania. A dispute between himself and the Governor of Pennsylvania, and the fact that the Jersey troops were abused as copperheads, caused him to take this step. General Milroy is reported to be superseded. The Federals were to commence firing hot shot into Vicksburg on the 20th. Southern journals report that a heavy engage ment was progressing on the 21st between the Confederate cavalry and the Federals at Big Black Bridge. General Banks officially reports on the 14th that he had established batteries within 350 yards of Port Hudson. After a vigorous cannonade he summoned the garrison to surrender. The Confe derates having refused, an assault was made, and General Banks gained and held a position within 50 to 100 yards of the enemy's works. General Banks is confident of imams,. The reported capture of the steamer Essex is denied. Advices from Havannah state that it was rumoured there that an engagement occurred on the 3rd be tween the Alabama and the Vanderbilt off Santa Cruz. The privateer Tacony continues her depredations off Nantucket. Since the 12th she has burned 17 vessel+ among which were the ship Byzantium, bound from London for New York, and the bark Goodspeed, from Londonderry for New York. I regret the absence of their acoustioined leader. The occasion of Mr. Hormones inquiry the suspense in which his motion for the receitiaa of the Confederate States hangs, it having been pro posed to postpone the adjourned discussion until Monday week. We cannot believe, however, that the PREMIER will regard the question as one that may be treated thus lightly. To say nothing of what is due to the two parties in America who are expect ing our decision with impatience, there are in terests in this country which will be affected by the determination arrived at by the House of Com mons. The policy of the country in a matter of so much magnitude ought not to be subject to doubt and uncertainty ; and it would be unworthy of the House as well as of the Government to delay the declaration of its intentions. Int Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, JULT 3.

TEE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR TILE ENCOURAGEMENT OF MUSIC. The newly-formed association has announced its existence by giving a concert, at St. James's-hall last even ing, with the view of obtaining the funds necessary for its initiatory proceedings. It professor to have for its object the diffusion of musical instruction on a uniform system throughout the United Kingdom, by landing a school on the principles of the continental conservatories. The scheme, it is stated, will include annual prizes, and the power of assisting friendless genius by gratuitous instruction. And it is added that active measures are now being taken to enable the council to offer on the most moderate terms instruction from professors of the highest eminence. The list of the council oontains the names of a number of fashionable amateurs and several eminent pro fessional musicians, among whom are Mr. Benedict, Mr. Frank Mori, and the Rev. Sir F. Gore ()mislay, Bart. On the practicability of the plan, with the slight information furnished, we are unable to offer any opinion, but we shall look with interest to the further procecdinp of the society. The concert of last night was announced as being under the immediate patronage of the Prince and Princess of Wales, several other members of the royal family, and • number of ladies of high rank. Whether any of these pa tronesses were present we know not, but there was a full and fashionable-looking audience. The first part of the concert consisted of Sterndale Bennett's beautiful cantata, " The May Queen"— a work which is au honors: to the modern English school of music. It was admirably per formed, the sinpra being /drilla Parepa, Madame S•intan Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Bentley. Thechorases were sung by the members of Mr. Henry Leslie'schoir,andthe instrumental band included the principal performers of the Philharmonic Orchestra, of which (as everybody knows) Professor Bennett is the conductor. This charmirg work was greatly applauded. The second concert was • melange, consisting of favourite sin, concerted Tool pieces, and part-songs, the singers being Madame Alboni, Madame Sainton Dolby, Madame Lemmens Sherrington, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Santley, and Mr. Hoary Leslie's choir. The concert was conducted by Mr. Lane. DRAMA. MADAME RISTORI AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Messrs. Scribe and Legouve's drama of A drienne Lecourreur, rendered famous by the acting of Rachel, and known to English audiences through the medium of • weak and =dilated translation, was last night presented at this theatre in a careful Italian make, by M. thaillier, Madame Meted performing the principal character, con structed after the orthodox model of the French drama of iotrig-in—in which powder and patches, swords and buckles, and high-heeled shoes are such biffispenseble features. The play has plenty of pointed dialogue, and abundance of cleverly contrived situatious. It is only in the last two acts that the drama rises from light comedy into that beak region in which Madame Rte. tort is mostly at home. The well-known wens in which the ordered and tattered Adrienne overwhelms her rival, the Princess de Bouillon, by reciting a paseage from Racioe's Photos, having special application to the Princess's amour with the Prince of Saxooy, is the first great point I. the play; and this was rendered by Madame Ristori with her usual vigour and intensity. The dying same in the fifth Act is the climax of the play, in which the horrors, though some what prolonged , were in the highest degree effective. The workings of the poison suppoesd to be inhaled from • bouquet sent to Adrienne by her rival—the troubled respiration and gradual sinking— ' the floatieg dreams of past triumphs oa the sta ge —th e coo staid struggle between her love far the Count and he/terror of desth— were all depicted ,with • power which, if not absolutely true to nature, wee in the of highest style of theatriael art. The =au bad the &donde= ' being well cast, the subordinate actors to be far more at home In this kind of drama in some others in which they have recently ap . tender Sea med in the part of Michounet, the filth retard tender-h dad stage-manager, performed with • bread humour and feding which were well appreciated. Signor Ciotti , as the Count of Saxony, was sufficiently lively and impudoned ; and Mdlle. Glecb, as the Primes, de Scullion, acted her somewhat ungracious part very pleasingly. LATEST. Despatches just received from Baltimore assert that General Lee's programme is to march rapidly to Harrisburg, and on to Philadelphia. There are street rumours that Lee, after crossing the Potomac, re-crossed it at a point below, so as to bring a por tion of his forces between Hooker au.' Washington. P 2.01•111.3. SVIDAT. MoNDAT.

We have reason to believe that the state ments in question are altogether inexact. The issue be tween the Porte and the company ia one with which, as yet, neither the Britiah nor the French government has any technical right to meddle; and although M. Dronyn de Lhuys bits, as we recently mentioned, already communi cated to Aali Packs his view of the dilrculty created, or rather indicated, by his bighoess's despatch, the question remains exactly where that circular placed it—between the Porte and the Viceroy on the one part, and between both of these and the Canal Company on the other. It is obvious, therefore, that its settlement must in the fiat in stance proceed rather horn Stamboul than from either London or Paris. STEAMERS PROM AMERICA.—The steamship Glas gow, from New York on the 20th ult., arrived at Queens town yesterday afternoon with mails, 48 cabin, and 113 Message passengers. She transferred mails and passengers, and proceeded at 3.15 p.m. The City of Limerick, also from New York on the 20th ult., passed Queenstown Harbour at 2.15 p.m. yesterday. The news by both these steamers has been anticipated. On Tuesday evening, at a meeting of the Royal Academicians, Mr. Frederick Goodall wail elected an academician. A parliamentary return has just been published of all sums paid for duty on insurance against fire during the past year by each of the fire insurance companies of the United Kingdom. From this it appears that the amount paid by the London offices was 1,042,6161., and by the country offices, including Scotch and Irish, 617,0601., the total being 68,0001. in excess of the previous year. In an article in the July number of the Victoria Magazine on "The Influence of University Degrees on the Education of Women" we find this statement :—" The holding of degrees by women is not without precedent. In the Italian universities and in that of Gottingen women have held high positions. Towards the end of the last century a female physician graduated at Montpelier. In 1861 the degree of ' Bachelor in Letters' was conferred on Mdlle. Denbif by the Academy of Lyons, and within the last few months another French lady, Mdlle. Chenu, passed her examination for the degree of • Bachelor an Science' at the University of the Sorbonne. It appears not unreasonable to hope that, before many pan have elapsed, Englishwomen will be placed in a not less favourable position than their continental neighbours, and that whatever advantages usaybelong to university examina tions and degrees will be thrown freely open to them." Tab EXHIBITION BUILDINO.—AHRBNONMINTS von PULLING rr Dows.—Wean requested by Meows.

The report dwells upon the necessity of deve loping professional instruction, and recommends the establishment of a commission to discuss the most effectual means of attaining this result. ilt.! D.

Moot on owo PARIS, niMiT EV7512(0. The Emperor's departure for Vichy is postponed from the 6th to the Bth, and there seems to be a doubt whether he will even go then. He presides at a ministerial council on Tuesday, and Bullier's Correspondence is instructed to suggest that he may possibly not think it right to leave Paris for some days, because the Russian answer—or the absence .. .. of Russian answer within a reasonable time— may " necessitate grave resolutions." These are ominous words and clash somewhat with the more peaceable reading of the news which has prevailed for the last day or two. The France, however, which has just now better claims to " inspiration " than any other journal, clearly looks upon war as on the cards. In au article, reproaching the Opinion Nationale and some English journals for belonging to the "war party," it affects the be lief that the Russian answer will be favourable and will lead to a conference. Therefore, but there fore alone, it condemns all thought of war as " pre mature ;" but in case of a refusal on the part of Russia, the France does look for war, and takes it for granted that France and England must neces sarily join in it. The Empress and the Imperial Prince, who were to have remained at Fontainebleau while the Empe ror was at Vichy, will now, it is maid, go to St. Cloud next week. The assertion of several journals that M. Baroche had withdrawn the prosecution instituted by his predecessor against the seven bishops for an " abuse " of their functions in publishing an electoral manifesto is positively contradicted. The case is going on in due course before the Council of State, and M. Suin is named reporter upon it. I So far, therefore, there is no ground for saying that M. Rouland's dismissal meant truckling to the church. There are rumours of M. Dronyn de Lhnys' resignation ; and it is also said that M. Boitelle, the Prefect of Police, will be provided with another place, and be succeeded by Count Treilhard, whose " direction of the press " it is hoped may be suppressed. There is no change of moment at the Bourse. The Marquis de Galliffet, the Emperor's aide-de camp who was badly wounded before Puebla, has ar rived in Paris from Southampton, where he landed from the English steamer Shannon. He is doing well. The Emperor has sent 10,000 fr. for the relief of the sufferers by the great fire at Nantes. "Information has been received at the Ministry of War," says the Bulletin de Paris, " of the speedy arrival in France of 300 officers of the Mexican army. They are to be assigned residences until further orders at Tours, Bourges, Toulouse, &c." WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) SATURDAY, JOLT •, 8 A.X. THE UNOFFICIAL INTERVIEW WITH THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. Mr. Lindsay, M.P., writes to the Times:—" j think it due to Mr. Roebuck to say that what he ham stated is true, and shall be confirmed by me in parliament with time, place, and circumstances when the debate is resumed. I have to regret that it is postponed for a time even so ke g u the 13th last. You have been plead to speak of us es self-constituted ambassadors. I have only to reply that at my first interview with the Emperor. in January, 1861. I was accompanied by her Majesty's arnbeasador at Par* That interview was proposed upon matters refer ring exclusively to English and French maritime interests. My subsequent interviews with the Emperor, molding the last, were upon a like Mililioll. At some of them he niter doted the subject of the civil war in America, and spoke freely upon it. Whatever be said was fully reported by me at the time to Lord Cowley, with the Emperor's knowledge and permiasion. The interview I had in company with Mr. Roebuck on the 23rd lilt., to which he referred in the house, wee brought about by circumstances which, in doe time, shell be fully made known to the country. I should b an had no objection to make what then pasted equally known to Lord Cowley when returning to London from Fontaine bleau, through Paris, had time permitted." SOCIETY Pat PROMOTING THE EMPLOYMENT OP WOMEN. The annual meeting of this society was held at Willis's Booms yesterday, the Peri of titurresacar, KO, presiding. There was a large atteedanos of ladies. In the report, which was read by the Rev. P. Pigeon, it warn stated that the demand made upon the society for easy work, i.e. work supposed to involve no previous training, was beyond all eossibility of supplying it, and the com mittee wished to press home this fact upon pares= thatthey might be induced to give their children; in addition to • morecarefnl early education than they now unsay remind, • special training, which might serve them as a resource in the future. The attendance at tbe adult dais at Mks Bouchseett's school averaged about eight pupils. The total number of those who had joined the class mace the ekes of the summer term of last year was 32. The committee had helped to establish a photographic printer in business. and her four apprentices gave good promised future pre. 'g~ciueooacyy and success Situations had bun found for • eon eidenble number of women in the lighter &mutinieds ci photography ; and in that of " mounting " and "touching" employment hid been obtained for several ladies who were hindered by deaf DOW from re-engagement t eovernesees. Pattern staining on furniture had supplied table new patios to several members of each of the classes for whom the demand for work to be done at home was most urgent, via., widows with young families, invalid ladies, sad those with invalids claiming their can all day. In wood engraving, lithographic tracing, music copying, plant pre. serving, sod heraldic printing, various orders had been re ceived and executed through the office ; also one in unmet modelling. Among employments about which inquiries had been mad* during the year might be mentioned mosaic lay ing, print colouring, carving to wood, watch engraving, sad designing for wall papers. The work of middle-elan emi gration undertaken by Miss Rye, with which • lower clam emigration bed since been combined, had been carried on on • somewhat larger scale than in the previous year. Mr. R. M. Mums, M.P., moved the adoption of the rsed. me adoption of the report was then seconded and carried. The Hon. A. KnarAnw moved the following resolu tion :—" That the duty ia strongly impressed upoo parents of giving their daughters • better early education for their subsequent profitable employment." Mr. Kinnaird, in the course of a few appropriate remarks, expressed his con viction that it would be most desirable for the universities to be open to women, but dissented from the re mark es to the advisability of making outdoor labour mon ' gerund amongst the lower class of female+. He said the results of both Miss Faithfull's and Miss Boucheretre experiments were most satisfactory, and proved how tho roughly competent females were to undertake the duties assigned to them by the society. The Rev. J. E. Kmum seconded the resolution, and it was carried. Mr. HASTINGS moved "That it is desirable that a test for the education sod requirenieute of worn= be instituted," stating his strong partiality for the system of University examination for females, and his intention to advocate, is the committee for maiming the next Oxford local exami nation, their admission to the test. He also quoted a letter received from Mr. J. 8. Mill, in which that gentleman, while a po logising for his absence from the meeting, ex pressed hen concurrence in the principle of the resolution. Dr. Lmormits, in a lengthy and able address, seconded the motion, which was then carried. The Rev. Prebendary BURGESS moved • vote of thanks to the chairman, which was seconded by Mr. Wtunwoaru, sod passed. Lord SoarrumnitY, in acknowledging the compliment, said he should like to mention this fact, that the society was now no longer to be considered experimental. When they first instituted it, it was an experiment, and there was very great doubt indeed how far they could turn it to ac count—how far the services of the young people of whom they took charge, or of women generally, would be snilable for the employment destined for them. The society Ind now been in operation three or four years, and they found that in many departments the labour of them women had been perfectly adapt= to its purposes. As copying clerks, ea compositors, and in many other caw:tie; they proved themselves fully equal to men. They had, therefor% proved the position completed ; for whoa it was &swe etened on asmall scale, and with • limited number of per. sons, it was equally proved for the whole of the female sex. So far they were certain of the ground they etoodn, and so far they were justi fi ed in making those ap peals to the clergy and ministers of other denominations, to ' before the minds of their congregations the absolute necessity of training up their daughters to tome specific profession that might be both lucrative and honourable. It was mid that women were intended for domestic life, and that might apply very well to those who bad entered upon the married en= but it certainly would not apply to the number of unmarried women who had to make a career for themselves, and who, even if they subsequently became wives s ad mothers, instead of losing the intermediate time between girlhood and marriage, might during that period be wen =llene( a small capital with which to enter upon married life, and which, iii the event of their husbands' deem.= would help them to maintain themselves in a decent sad honourable manner. (Hear, hear.) They could lose nothing by pursuing such a course, and might gain a great deal. Passing on to speak of the nature of the work proposed for females, the noble earl said he thought the society, by judicious management, might have an influence m raising the character of employments now as below the position of the young woman. The app n rica rd n e t! I were constantly asking for any kind of work provided it was not menial, while probably the very employment they sought to avoid was that for which alone they were adapted. He feared the society was allowing its attention to be fixed too much upon females of the upper and middle daises, to the neglect of those of the lower. The question of the admissibility) of women to university examinations had been lengthily discussed upon that =anon, but he thought they would be acting more judi ciously if they used the word university as little as possible, lest ed it might alarm the public, and lead them to imagine that women were to be brought up in the MOOS way as men. After adverting in condemnatory terms to the suggestion that women should be employed to • larger extent in open-air work, his lordship expressed bin conviction that the education imparted in many of our national schools had been in many cues of too high • charac ter for the persons to whom it was Tina, leading girls, for instance, who were only fit for chambermaids and cooks to aspire to the positions of companion and nursery governess. The consequence was a universal complaint of the deficiency and incapability of domestic servants, besides other muse queues of • more fatal character, of which he need not speak. It was their duty to watch ve-y care( ally over the employment of women, because there existed a great desire, especially in the ma nufacturing districts, to substitute female for male labour, to the disadvantage of both. Women, they were told, never combined to resist oppression or to raise wages ; and ono manufacturer bad said to him, " It is • capital thing to have • woman in your mill, for if she ham a child to look after or • sick husband, by heavens you may work her to death." He was sure that while, on the sae hand, there were so many young women of delicate frames, and refined natures and pure minds, thrown upon the world without any means of subsistence, and on the other wretched needle women died from overwork or the miserable remuneration they obtained for their labour, we could not expect to m oires t us either social honour or public morality. (Cheers.) The meeting then separated. In the preface to Messrs. Macmillan and Co.'s "Cambridge Shakespeare" the editor► acknowledge their obligations to Mr. John Bullock, who has furnished them with valuable critical ►nd literary notes. The Ptedishere Cirradar says :—" Mr. Bullock la, we believe, a mechanic —a brass finisher in Aberdeen—who has devoted his Iwore to the study of English literature, for which, though still following his manual labour, he has obtained in his own locality a oonsitkrabls reputation." The North British Review is again about to change hands, Messrs. Clark having parted with their in. Serest in it to Messrs. Edmondstone and Douglas, by whom it will in future be published. Mr. Brown, who some time since retired from the firm of Lovgman and Co., of Paternost-row, has given 1,0001. for a stained•glaas window in St. Paul's Cathedral. We (Reader) are informed that the committee appointed by the British Association to bring the import ance of fag-signals before the legislature, hare, within the laid few days, seat in a memorial, in which a series of ex periments is especially recommended to the Board of Trade.
