Tunas is no reason whatever why the temporary interruption of our friendly relations with Brazil should be treated as a party question ; and such speeches as that delivered by Lord MILLIINIBURY last night are, on public grounds, to be earnestly deprecated as likely to do far more harm than good. While some of the material points in dis pute are still under arbitration there is, moreover, as Lord Rtaszu. pointed out, a certain impro priety in the leaders of a political party coming for ward to prejudge the whole case, and decide in the moat summary manner against the claims of their own Government. Everybody regrets the suspen sion of friendly intercourse that has occurred, and the events which led to it. We have more than once gone fully into these circumstances, and need not now discuss them in detail again. It is im portant, however, to notice that the real causes of the rupture obviously lie deeper than the immediate occasion which has produced it. Had the repre sentatives of our own Government on the spot shown greater temper and discretion, or had the Brazilian Government evinced a more sincere and earnest desire to redress as promptly as possible an admitted wrong, the present dispute would most probably, indeed, have terminated very differently. But the es trangement between the two Powers is evidently not due to a single incident, or of sodden growth. A latent feeling of irritation has existed, and seems to have been carefully nursed for some time past. Now that it has come to a head, the first duty of all who have influence, commercial or po litical, is to employ their good offices to the ut most in endeavouring to bring about a better understanding between the two Governments—in a word, to facilitate, as far as possible, a speedy resumption of friendly intercourse on a more frank and cordial, and therefore also on a more permanent and satisfactory, basis than before. At the close of his speech last night Earl Russam. intimated that this was the earnest desire of the English Government. But, unfortunately, the necessities of his position in having to meet a party attack gave to some portions of the noble lord's address a less friendly and conciliatory tone. It is quite true, as Lord Rugsatt urged with considerable force, that the higher rights and duties of a nation must not be sacrificed to its commercial interests. The first duty of a Govern ment is, no doubt, to protect the lives and property of its subjects in every quarter of the globe, and of course this duty must not be pos,poned to any considerations of mercantile advantage. But while all this is quite true, it does make some difference, as it ought to du, in cases of disputed claims, whether we are dealing with an old friend and good customer, or with a comparative stranger whose name we only know in connexion with displays of ill-nature. Again, while it is universally agreed that strong States ought not to abuse their strength, it is no doubt equally true that weak States ought not to be allowed to presume inordi nately on their weakness. Lord Russzxx says that small Powers, relying with impunity on their relative insignificance, often venture on acts of questionable justice and legality which powerful States would never think of committing ; and that we ought to insist on our tights being respected by the weak as well as the strong. This is per fectly true. But while the known weakness of a friendly State ought not to withhold us from claiming our rights, it may very fairly make some difference as to the manner in which we enforce them. It would be most injur;ons and undig nified to adopt summary and violent measures until every milder expedient, every form of courteous remonstrance, had been tried in vain. It is a universally recognised rule of private and public life—one equally applicable to individual and national affairs—that in case of a dispute, the weakness of one party, and even the irritability which so often accompanies it, calls for the exer cise of special forbearance, and something like a spirit of magnanimity, on the part of the stronger. And notwithstanding Lord Rus.seLc's vigorous defence of his policy, it is impossible to maintain that this just and honourable rule of action has THE' F t 7fliltE SATIJIIDAY EVENING, JUNE' 20, 1863. been consistently pursued in our recent dealings with the Government of Brazil. While the past, however, cannot be recalled, its incidental evils may be easily repaired, and its mistakes avoided in the future. Now that the British representative, who i s regarded in Brazil as one main cause of the quarrel, has left, and that ' both Governments have made a clean breast of their wrongs and grievances, we may hope that past mis understandings will be far removed and friendly rela tions restored. This is on all accounts most desirable. The temporary rupture with Brazil has come upon the commercial as well as the general public as a complete surprise. Until quite lately it wissgenerally supposed that our relations with Brazil were moat satisfactory, and the confidence inspired by this feeling has very naturally led to a large extension of our commercial intercourse with that empire. It is certainly most desirable for the interests of both countries that this feeling of confidence should be speedily restored. gbe Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, TONI 19.

NEW YORK, Julia 8, Eft/rm. (Per the Amis.) The report, received on Saturday last, that General Lee had evacuated Fredericksburg, and that Hooker had occupied the city, was untrue. It appears that in consequence of the withdrawal of a Confederate brigade from Fredericksburg, General Hooker on Friday afternoon sent a division across the Rappahannock at Deep Run to reconnoitre. This division crossed in face of a heavy fire from the Confederate rifle pits on the opposite shore, and after capturing 100 Confederates in the rifle pits, and ascertaining that Longatreet was there in force, I they recrossed the river with the loss of 40 men. It is supposed that General Lee maintains his posi tion at Fredericksburg, and that his late move ments were made to place his army in a more healthy situation. General Stuart received from 12,000 to 15,000 Confederate cavalry at Culpepper on Saturday last Advices from Vicksburg are to the 3rd inst. The siege operations continued. One division of General Grant's army was on the west aide of Black River bridge watching General Johnston, who appeared there on the Ist and 2nd bud. with 5,000 troops, but afterwards retired. General Johnston is reported to have altogether 18,000 men, but no artillery. Communication between Generals Grant and Banks is kept up along the Louisiana shore. Southern journals assert that General Kirby Smith has defeated General Banks at Port Hudson. The steamers America and Hammonia have arrived out. NEW YORK, Join 9, Emma. Blair's division of General Grant's army has made a reconnaissance 45 miles to the northward, but without finding any enemy. The country was very rich and fertile, and the Federals destroyed quantities of cotton and stores. Memphis telegrams assert that all negroes in Federal uniform captured by the Confederates are hung. . . - The government of Georgia, in view of the imminence of an early invasion of that state, has called upon the people to organise for defence. Since his assault of the 27th, General Banks has made no fresh assault on Port Hudson, but has commenced mining and siege operations. The Confederates fought with unusual fierceness against the negro troops, and some accounts state that no wounded negroes were taken prisoners, but all were slaughtered. The Confederates have reoccupied the Bayou Teehe country. _ _ The negro expedition from Port Royal has made a raid up the Comhabee river, capturing a number of negroes and destroying property. They also burnt Bluffton. The Federal expedition from Yorktown destroyed the Confederate foundry and stores on the Mattapouy river. General M'Clellan has reviewed two returned regiments from the balcony of the Fifth Avenue HoteL Tremendous enthusiasm was displayed for him by the soldiers and people. The nomination of Mr. Vallandigham as a candi date for the governorship of Ohio by the demo cracy of that state is considered certain. A democratic meeting has been called in Brooklyn to denounce the usurpation of the administration. The editors of the New York journals have passed resolutions asserting their right to criticise the acts of the administration and its subordinates, and denying the right of the military to suppress papers published far from the seat of war. In the case of the Dolphin it has been decided that a vessel bound to Nassau, with the intention of sailing from thence to a blockaded port, was equally liable to capture as if she was bound direct to a blockaded port. 66 cases of rifles and swords were found on board the Dolphin, entered on the freight list as hardware. A letter from the owner was also found, requesting the agents not to discharge the cargo at Nassau, but to obtain additional freight from there. In the case of the steamer Pearl time was allowed to the claimants to produce further testimony, but it was decided that vessels bound to convenient ports with intention of making voyages from there to blockaded ports, are subject to cap ture before their arrival at the ports from which they intend to sail for blockaded ports. Eight schooners are reported to have been cap . tured in the Gulf. KEW YORK, Jana 11, Momaim. (By Telegraph to llalifax.) General Banks officially reports that the conduct of the negro troops has been heroic, and that there is no longer any doubt that the government will find in the negroes effective supporters. General Banks's loss, from the 23rd to the 30th tilt., was 1,000 men, including many of his ablest officers. General Sherman has died at New Orleans. Admiral Porter officially reports that be sent another expedition up the Yazoo, which destroyed nine Confederate transports. Admiral Porter adds, that, with the exception of some few steamers beyond Fort Pemberton, the Confederates can now transport nothing on the Yazoo. The Philadelphia Inquirer says that the second South Carolina negro regiment defeated the Confe derates on the 3rd inst. at Pocotoglio, and was holtling the railroad bridge between Savannah and Charleston. Reinforcements are being forwarded to them. It is reported that Mr. Vallandigham has been imprisoned by the Confederates. NEW YORK, JUNE 12, EVENING. (By Telegrspb to Cape Race.) Three brigades of Federal cavalry and 2,000 in fantry crossed the Rappahannock on Tuesday last at Beverley Ford, and had a severe engagement with General Stuart'a cavalry, lasting all day, when the Confederates received heavy infantry reinforce ments, and the Federate recrossed the river, briLg ing away their dead and wounded. The object of the expedition was to frustrate the plans of General Lee, who had assembled a force of cavalry at Culpepper Court-house with the view of making a raid into Maryland. The expe dition is said to have succeeded in its object. General Lee has received reinforcements, and the impression still prevails that he will shortly assume the offensive. Great preparations for defence are being made in Pennsylvania. News from Vicksburg is to the Bth inst. The siege was progressing, but the situation had not changed. The enrolment is being resisted in Indiana. The Provost Marshal and his assistant have been shot. Considerable excitement prevails, and a military force has been sent to the scene of disorder. Mr. Vallandigham has been unanimously nomi nated candidate for the governorship of Ohio by the Democratic State Convention.

EXECUTION OF FRANKOWSKI. THORN, Juw 20. Frankowski, one of the insurgent leaders, was hung at Lublin on the 16th inst., by sentence of a court martial. It is rumoured that Archbishop Felineki has been exiled to the government of Vologda. THE POLISH QUESTION. PARIS, Jusrz 20. The Courrier de Dimanche of to-day, iu an article upon the despatch of the notes of the Western Powers to St. Petersburg, says : " The French note is marked by the same senti ments of moderation which characterised the first French communication. " As regards the proposal of an armistice, it is said to have been dropped, at least in the form in which it was originally put forward. " If our information is correct the despatch of M. Drouyn de Lhuys confines itself to expressing the hope that Russia, in the event of her deferring to the wishes of the powers, would take the most proper measures to arrest the effusion of blood during the pending negotiations. "It is asserted that M. Drouyn de Lhuys in drawing up the six points already known as having been proposed by the powers to Russia, endea vours, in order not to establish any sensible diver gence between the attitude of France and that of Austria, not to lay too much stress on the second and third points." AUSTRALIA. PLYMOUTH, Jogs 20. The ship Tiptree, from Sydney, April 1, has passed this port. Eight of her passengers landed here to-day, and they report sighting, on Thursday last, at the entrance of the Channel, one of Messrs. Green's ships, supposed to be the Dover Castle, that left Melbourne on the 20th of March, with 19,C30 ounces of gold. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM OUR OWN OORDJEIPONDRNT.) PARIS. FRIDAY Ell:NINO. Mr. Slidell, the Confederate envoy resident in Paris, had a very long conference with the Emperor at the Tuileries yesterday morning. His Majesty sent for him as soon as be was up, kept him to a the a leStt breakfast, and did not part company with him till the ministers were assembled in coun cil and waiting for their imperial chairman. This incident will naturally impart additional credit to the rumour that interference with the United States is likely to be one of the consequences of the ' fall of Puebla. In reference to this rumour M. Drouyu de Lhuys' office speaks, through its organ, the Pays, in the following haughty but oracular language : Neither with regard to the United States or Russia has oar policy been in any way hampered or restrained by the Mexican expedition. That policy is invariable, and guided by the requirements of our own dignity, interests, and legitimate influence in the world. If there shall be any change in that policy,it will be only on account of new even tualities, new necessities which may call for a different line of conduct from that which we have heretofore pursued. But our recent victory at Puebla will no more be the occa sion of any such change than the protraction of the siege would have been an impediment had &change been judged desirable. This rhetoric is not very much calculated to allay the public apprehension that uew wars are brewing. kullier's C'orrespolutence says If Russia accepts the propoeitions now made to her, all will be well ; but her refusal may lead to a declaration of hostilities. It is natural that the public should be uneasy, but it would be perhaps going too far at present to consider war as certain. The Bourse was decidedly uneasy, in conse quence of the warlike rumours. Reute fell 10c., both for cash and account, closing at 681 r. 50c., and 68fr. 55c. Mobilier fell llfr. 25c., and all the railways were 2fr. or 3fr. lower. The Pays is instructed to say that there is no truth in the news given by the Preec and Ltchf pendance Beige that M. de Sartiges, the French Ambassador at Turin, is disliked by the King of Italy ; and it further asserts that there has never been any idea of recalling M. de Sartiges. It is said that the court will come from Fon tainebleau to Paris expressly to witness the first representation of the Sicilian Vespers. Couut Walewski had a select party the other evening, at which the principal pieces in this opera were sung by MM. Villaret and Bonnehee, Verdi himself accompanying them on the piano. Madame de Galiffet, whose husband, the mar quis, was seriously wounded before Puebla, has been invited to Fontainebleau, to stay with the Emperor and Empress till the arrival of the next packet at St. Nazaire, by which it is hoped M. de Galiffet will be well enough to return. THE CAPTURE OF HERAT. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Juice 19. The following despatch has been received from her Majesty's charge d'affaires in Persia, dated June 11 : " Intelligence received this day of the capture of the city of Herat by Dost Mahomet Khan." Seventeen Polish officers in the service of the Porte have resigned their commissions, and left for the Principalities, en route for the theatre of the national movement. A young Levantine doctor, of Polish origin, has also left for Paria to proceed by that route to the same destination. RELIGIOUS TOLZRATION IN TURKEY. —The weather on Thursday last having prevented the Roman catholic procession of the Flte Dieu, which should h►ve taken place on that day, the ceremony was postponed tall Sunday, when it was performed with the accustomed oat of-door display. On this, as on previous similar occasions, the government exemplified its wonderful religioaa liberality by providing a military band and guard to precede and ac company the procession through the principal streets of Peru—in contrast how striking to the treatment of pro infante at Boon or Madrid I—Levant Herald, Jane 13, THE TRIAL OP LIEUT.-COL. CRAWLEY. (From Um Army and NoryGarota) - - • - The Judge-Advocate-General hag now before him all the circumstances oeceary to enable him to frame , charges for the trial of Lieut.-Col. Crawley, and we may expect that the course of procedure will be settled so that instructions may be sent to India by the next loan. It has been urged that it would be more satisfactory to the public and more conducive to the ends of justice, that Colonel Crawley should be tried in England than in India, and we believe that the authorities are so far in favour of this view that it has been left to , the proper legal . authority whether there are any tech mical difficulties in the way of a trial at home. Some of the necessary witnesses—Adjutant Fitz Simon, Dr. Barnett, Sergeant-Major Wakefield, and others—are in England. but we take it that the majority are with the regiment, and it may yet be worthy of consideration whether a court of in quuy, conaisting of three officers, of whose experience, ca pacity, and judgment there could be no doubt, should actin sent out to investigate the ease at Mhow and complete it at home. Tbere would certainly be some awkwaris in having a court-martial on the spot, for the first step must necessarily be a direction to General Mansfield to unstable a court to try an officer for ao offence, for the coassignee.= i of which he cannot but be held respoesible so far as we know of his action in the matter. 'rho remarks made by 1 his Royal Higbee= the Field-Marshal Commending-is- Chief in the Mouse of Lords on Monday afford ground for grave reflection. It appears that it was oily within the last week or two that be was placed in pewee= of the facts attending the imprisonment of Sergeant-Major Lilley. Now these facts were known to say one in England who Icared to inquire into them for many months. They were recounted as fully as need be for purposes of further in quiry in our impression of August 9, 1862 ; the wart roarrial and its horrible episodes having taken place in the April and May previously. There are now over 70,000 European troops in India, and we think it is high time that some change should be made in a system which permits the officer responsible for the discipline of the whole army of the Queen to remain for ten months in ignorance of facts having a most important bearing not only upon that dis cipline, but upon the reputation of the country for justice and humanity.

INCREASING INFLUENCE OF THE POLISH NA TIONAL GOVERNMENT. —The Temps of yesterday eels : " Poland is decidedly slipping away from Russia. The meet striking fact is not the incapacity, now completely de monstrated, of the Russians in the open field, but the power of the occult national government sitting at Warsaw in the very midst of the Russian bayonets. That government works regularly ; it has its newspapers, it imposes its taxes, and, what is more significant, it sends its summonses even to the Russians residing in Poland, and those persons con. eider it unsafe not to bow to them. One of than Russians could think of no better plan of avoiding payment of the tax levied upon him than that of quitting the country. These significant facts are admitted by the Russian located. The same journal, under the pretence of giving a lesson to parents and teachers, acnowledges that young people,' almost children,' it says, are leaving their colleges to join the in surgents. Noris this all ; the national government has or dered all the Polish officers in the Russian army to quit the service, and to act as becomes true patriots. Acting upon these orders several very distinguished officers of the garrison, and amongst them General de Berg's own nephew, at once dis appeared. Such symptoms speak for themselves, and need no comment." The Giornale della Marina of Turin, of the 16th, announces that, by order of the Minister of Marine, all vessels sailing under pontifical colours shall henceforth, on entering an Italian port, furl up their colours, and not be allowed to hoist them so long as they remain in Italian waters. The Indicator of Wurzburg states that a French man who was descending the Rhine, one evening last week, in the Hereditary Prince steamer, when passing the great mill at Mentz, told the passengers that he was about to show them an excellent practical joke. He had scaroely uttered the words when he put his hat on a bench, jumped into the river, and was drowned. In his hat was a letter stating that he had lost all he poisoned at the gaming. tables of Wiesbaden, and cautioning the public against playing there. When his body was recovered, his purse was found to contain only Hr. 27c. The accounts from America regarding the petro leum trade show that it continues to augment so as to realise the predictions put forth at its commencement. The total exportation of the produce of the Pennsylvania wells, from the Ist of January to the end of May, bail been 15.169,363 gallons against 4,231,630 gallons in the con e spooding months of 1862, and the consumption, it is said, will now receive a further impulse from success having been attained in adapting the moderator lamp to its use and in the preparation of the oil so as to render it entirely ino dorous. . . . . Mr. Rarey has been varying his attendance on the sick horses of the Federal. with a trip in a reconnoiter ing balloon. The sensation wee, for "purely strategic rea. sons," not long indulged in. as a rifle-ball through the edge of the car gave him sharp notice to quit cloudland. _ . _ Accordiog to the report of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for the year ending May 1, the com pany have built two new steamers at a root of 1,250,000 dollars, added 490,000 dollars to their surplus fund, paid a dividend of 20 per cent., and are now building another first-class steamer. "AFFAIR or HoNoutc."—The recent cam in the Court of Queen's Beech, in which the Balaklava charge was re-enacted on paper, has given rise to a hostile feeling between a distinguished veteran general of cavalry and a noble lord who served in the Crimea, and who lately filed an affidavit respecting the action on behalf of Colonel Cal thorpe. It was mainly in consequence of that misunder standing the affidavit was filed. The noble lord, on reoeiving a challenge from the general, repaired to Paris, and waited there for some time, hut returned to London just am the general proceeded to France, where he still remains. It is understood that steps have been taken to prevent any accom plishment of the designs entertained by the generals to arrange their differences alter a style which has now very much gone out of fashioo. —Army and Navy Gazelle. CORPORAL Pun k. illidENT IN SCHOOL& —The follow ing is a copy of a bill which has just, been brought into the House of Commons by Viscount Raynham and Mr. Dunlop, entitled " A hill to re gulate corporal punishment in schools and elsewhere :" • Whereas it is expedient that prevision should be made for regulating the use of corporal punishment by schoolmasters, tutors, and other persons having the charge of young persona for the purposes of tuition or training he it enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual an d tem poral, sad commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:-1. From and after the peados of this act it shall not be lawful for any schoolmaster, usher, tutor, or other person having the chsrp, management, custody, or control of young peewee for the purposes of tuition or training, and not being the parents, guardians, or nearest surviving relatives of such young per sons, to inflict any corporal punishment on any such young persons otherwise than by the use of a birch rod ; and every =who shall act in contravention of this act shall be to be guilty of an assault, and shall be punishable scoordiegly." A short time since there were 608 merchant steamers mud other vessels in harbour at New York, 128 at Boston, 155 at Philadelphia, KG at Baltimore, and 63 at New Oriesua—New York Herald. A Jamaica paper says that pimento, which was at one time a remunerative article of commerce in that island, has been at such a low figure during the last few year as to muse much distress amongst +mall proprietor. MUSIC. HERR NOLIQUE'S CONCERT. This excellent artist, one of our most estimable resident p ro f e ssors, gave his annual concert yesterday Cpcn, ins at the Hanover-square Room'. Herr Moligne's ono performances were limited to the leading of one of Hai n% quartet* and two characteristic (solo) pieces for the violin ; la all of which his sterling and solid style and artistic hi. log were admirably displayed. Mr. Carrodus (a former pupa, we believe, of Herr Molique) wed* a marked impre ss i on by his excellent performance of a feudalism for a(n)ti solo, the composition of Herr Molique. Mdlle. Asp s Maligns, a daughter of the ooucert•giver, displayed v sn powers as a pianist in a trio of her father's ooracepti n This young lady's playing is very far above the avers g ._ she has great force and elasticity of touch, sad a ft...hag for rhythmical phrasing which is not always found in the play*, of 110M11 artists of greater pretensions. Mdlle. Mobque sterling pianist who Mould be heard more frequently. ye a other instrumentalists were Mr. Bastms (viola). Sligo q Pi►tti (violoncello), and Signor llegondi (concertina). Swo t good vocal music contributed to make up a very satisfactory chamber concert. N. PFEIFFER'S CONCERT. M. Georges Pfeifer is a pianist and composer high reputation in Paris, and his name is well koogyi. t , our musical circles. His coocert at St. James's-hall ba evening, consequertly, attracted a large audience, am ee4 whom were many of our musicians and amateurs. Il i camel was got up on a larger scale than usual. The is strumental orchestra and chorus consisted of a hundred pe e . formers. The singers were Madame Lemmensaierrngte a , His. Palmer, Mr. Wilbye Cooper, and Mr. Winn ; aed M. Lebow., a violoticelhat from the fiocietF des Concerts di Conservatoire, made his first appearance in England. Ila leading features of the concert, of course, were M. Pfeiffe's own compositions and performance', of which the mat re. markable was a concerto in E flat for the pianoforte and orchestra, a work of great merit, written in a boil sad vigorous style, well calculated to display his uncommon powers as a performer, his full rich tone, and his firm sod brilliant execution. This, as well as several pieces in 4 lighter style, was received with warm and deserved sp. please. Mendedasohn's well-known sonata in B flat, for the piano and violoncello, was played by M. Pfeiffer and X Lebouc in • very graceful and finished style. Smog choice vocal pieces were exceedingly well sung, and the concert concluded with Miss Virginia Gabriel's cane., " Dreamland," already favourably known to the public by its performances at the concerts of the Vocal Associatioc. The May Queen of Professor Bennett, and a miscellaneous selection, are to be sung by Mr. Leslie's choir and some Brat-rate soloists at a concert to be given ov the National Society for the Encouragement of Music os the 3rd July. The Prince and Princess have engaged to attend. Mdlle. Adelina Patti has been engaged by the manager of the Italian Open at Paris for the season of Den year. She ie to receive, it is said, 3,000 francs (IV.) fa every night she sings. DRAMA. MADAME RISTOItI AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE Madame Rietori made her second appearance ha evening in Signor Giaoometti's tragedy of Eliaabetta &pa d'lnoltilterra—tbe most striking 'canes in which will re have bees forgotten by those who witnessed her period performances in England. In itself the play has little to recommend it. It is, however, one of the most remarkable features d Madame Ristori's triumphs that they appear to be alma& independent of the dramatic writer's art. Her elaborate scenes of passion and pathos are such as no dap directions could inspire ; and the rich and varied tows of her voice give life and poetry to the poorest language. Though she evidently av►ils herself of every artistic aid in "making up" her face, her command of expression forces its way through all this outward plater. If her lighter reprsents•. Lion of tenderness are open to the charge of being a little artificial, no such fault can be found with her when abs is giving expression to deeper emotions. Her bursts of passion are eminently impulsive, natural, and unforced, tad her attitudes are always graceful, striking, and seemingly unstudied. THE OXFORD COMMEMORATION.—OXFORD, JUN/ 19.—The commemoration festivities terminated last even. tog with a grand ooncert at Merton College, which au numerously and fashionably attended, and passed off with the greatest iclat. The town to-day has presented a miser. able appearance in comparison with its aspect during On commemoration, as, in addition to its almost deserted streets, rain poured down incessantly during the day. The royal visit is still the theme of general conversation in the city, and many circumstances which have escaped the oohs of the astute special correspoodents of the daily papas have been the subject of gossip during the day. Amongst them we may enumerate the fact that his Royal nighties, during his short sojourn within the classic walls, found time to visit the noble tennis court in Merton-street, and engage in his favourite pastime with the Hon. Mr. Ellis, if Merton College, Earl Granville, and Lord Mount Falgcumte. The fancy fair and bazaar in aid of that excellent auntie tion, the Radcliffe Infirmary, has proved a great succers, and upwards of 2,0001. has bees placed to the credit of the fund, through the joint exertions of the mayor and the dis tinguished lady patronesses. Their Royal Highnewes the Prince and Princess of Wales, besides benefiting the funds by numerous purchases at the stalls, kindly condescended to write their autographs, which were duly disposed of by private auction in the gardens yesterday, the right worship ful the mayor becoming the lucky possessor of the memento of their royal highnesses' visit. Professor Varnell, of the Royal Veterinary Col lege, has been appointed veterinary inspector of horses, vice Professor Spacer, who retires, to the Royal Agred. tura' Society, and will commence his duties at Worcester. THE PI BLIC Santini ,1 Commis:on:sr.—The Public Schools Commissioners held a meeting yesterd..y at N, Victoria-street, Westminster. The commissioners preens were the Earl of Clarendon, the Earl of Devon the Lord Lyttelton, Sir S. H. Northcote, Rut , M.P., the Rev. W. H. Thompson, and H. lialford 'Vaughan, Eaq. THE OXFORD LAWAL EXAMINATIoN,:.—We ..re sorry to hear that the delegacy appointed to conduct be Oxford Local Examinations are becoming intolerant with regard to what they term " the Ruditneuts of Faith and Religion." At first they allowed candidates to please them selves about answering questions in this section, assuring them that, in either came, their position in the dicncon• lists would not be affected. They then offered marks for this subject, thus giving members of the church of En.;loal au advantage over others who are not brought up io t 1,.. caw of the church Catechism and Prayer-book. In the co urse of the examination which has just closed they went still further, and no the papere gave notice that no one whose parents have not objected on conrcteuticas grounds to his being examined in the Prayer-book .14 sell as the Bible "can obtain a certificate, without dwelt; some knowledge of each of the two portions, whateser may be the value of his work in other subjects." What makes the matter worse is that no previous notice was wren ci this extreme severity. Is the programme this subject vu not classed with those required 14 all io order to pus. It was indeed stated that " no one can be held to have .tisced the examiners in the section without both portions." • the parts relating to the Prayer-book as well as the tie ripture but since candidates have been for several years suffered to pass without satisfying the examiners in this scctio... it it , t naturally supposed the same thing would be allowed ag ain and it was nottill they saw the notice prefixed to the paper , si questions that many found they were to be depriv-d ~1 the fruit of their labour. We trust the delegscy will at least have the justice to put off the execution of their ,•tern.le.rof till next year, so that all may have timely notio. f.sett then, we think, it would be much better to adopt the Cos bridge plan of putting this part of the examination upon the broad basis of Scripture and the evidences of Christi aotr, subjects in which members of all communions can comULe without offending the conscience of any. —Afton.'

It is of that sound. liberd, snd moderate, yet thorough character which might have been expected, and we are glad to learn that so far as can vet to ascertained, Mr. Mitchell's prospects of success are m. ,4 favourable.
