"'his address, at intervals, was received with • rind deal of applause. 'l6 Vice Chancellor then rose and spoke in reply, xprerwing himself falso in Latin, but not to neer t;.t same length as the preceding speaker. He said. io substance, that the statutes of the university re quired that they should proceed to the election u *..on as poseitle, and lie justified the coarse uti , ch had been taken by reference to precedents Aldine the last eighty years, observing that it was n..t unusual to proceed to the election in the long and that this step had been taken even earlier than on the present occasion.

ATTACH BY HIGHWAYMEN ON HUME!' MOOR,. It is oil/ a few weeks ago that the authorities of this bo were much occupied with inquiries tato two outrages a meet formidable character, perpetrated at the west sad of the town, and through the exertions steed on that secedes we are happy to say that the result of those investigations was the apprehension of the OlialtfOUS party implicated, and their committal for trio) at the next amines upon the most conclusive evidence. We have this week to record another of these lawless occurrences, and also the speedy apprehension of the miscreants engaged in it. It seems that two ruffians have been foiled is an attempt to commit a robbery upon a sditary pedestrian in a lonely spot, sod this is principally to be attributed to the magic- I handed but vigorous resistance they bad to eaceanter from their intended victim, Mr. Joseph Bartley, merchant, Nortlt•stresit. After a desperate struggle the assail ants took flight without obtainiag the least booty, and fortunately the gentleman who was assaulted had good opportunity of making • himself acquainted with their features. The consequence has been that within twenty four hours after the occurrence one of those men WAS in the hands of the police, and the other was traced out by Tuesday morning. On Wednerlay morning last they were brought up for examination at the Leee.s Court house, before John Cooper, Esq., and I/. W. Nell. Esq. The names of the prisoners ' ace John Lees and William Wiliaasson—the first a tall pock-marked man, and the other considerably lee , in stature. Both prisoners resided at Bonnet-hall. The scene of the outrage was Ilunslet Moor, a lonely place, the neighbourhood of which is frequently the resort of desperate characters. Mr. Hartley, who had been grossly . abused about the head and body, said—On Saturday night last, 1 and my ' brother left the Leeds Archery Club about twelve o'clock, and walked in company to my father's hones in North street, and there I left my brother and proceeded alone to Rootlet Carr. I went along the coal•waggon way Imm Leeds to Hunslet, and as I went through the gate which leads to Huoslet Moor, I was passed by two men who had followed me, and that was the first time I had noticed them. On going through the turnstile one of the two men rudely pushed before me, and we walked nearly together through the turnstile, and as he passed by, in consequence of the push he gave me, I looked into his face, end noticed very distinctly that his faeo was pock-marked. The lesser man bad a dark shooting coat on and a cap. They walkta about 16 yards before me in the mme direction, but they soon slackened their pace and I overtook them ; and when I was repining them one of the men threw his arms round my seek, being at my back at the time. Hetwisted his legs round mine and tried to force me on my (see, whilst a man or mew seized both my arms, and also strove to force me on my face. I then endeavoured to throw myself on my hack, in order to crush the man behind me, but I was driven forwards. The man in the rear then rather loosed his hold, and the man who had pressed me at the turnstile then rushed at my throat, and put his hands there and on my chest, and forced me against the man who was et my back on the ground. Whi'st this was doing I got my right side turned to the man who was on my back, and I saw his face dis tinctly. He grasped me on the throat, and 1 was up and down several times struggling with them. I never tot my throat, during the tussle, liberated from his grasp. I wag contending with one man the other kicked me twice on INS face and once on the stomach. The tall man who had hold of me by the throat said to the other," Stick to him, Bill " and repeated it, saying, "Stick to him with shy teeth," and the man called ' Bill" got hold of my left hand with his month and bit it, but I sue• ended in withdrawing it. Before this, my trousers were torn entirely in pieces in their attempts made to get at my pockets. The man called Bill (the little one) then tried to ;get at my coat pocket, in which were my purse and a agar awe ; but I got hold of his arm, so that he did not succeed in "entering this pocket. Then in the after struggle I partly got on my knees again, the tall man still retaining his hold of my throat. Bill then called oat, 11— him, how he kicks,' and then they got on my knees. I perceived a gas ligh t on the other side of the railway, and I cried out " murder ;" and then the man who had hold of my throat tightened his grasp very mash, so that I almost became Insensible; and the next thing I remember was that I was set free, and the men ✓an away. I ran after them, but slipped and fell. At the arm time I heard one of them shout out Hast thou got le l" I saw two persona come towards me, named Robin ma mil Smith, who joined in pursuit, but the two men succeeded in getting out of sight. I found mjself very nosh injured, my trousers completely torn off, my coat spoilt, my eye-glass pulled o ff my neck, my umbrella, spec taelee and hat were gone, and neckerchief unloosed; my shirt torn and bloody, and nay waistcoat torn. My face was bruised badly, m head beaten severely, and my throat black and swollen. [wu taken to the house of Mr. Smith, where I obtained a pair of trousers, and he accompanied me to Hanalei Carr. I suhseguendy, on returning to the ' scene of the struggle, found my umbrella, eye-glass, and spectacles. I can speak positively to John Lees as one of the two men who attacked me at the stile, and afterwards kicked me and tom my trowers. Saw Mr. Read, chief constable, next day, and from the description I gave to him, the prisoners were apprehended by the police. After some further evidence had been given, the wit nesses were bound over to give evidence against the pri toners at the next York smiles ; but the accused were not finally corneal ted, the Mayor again reminding them for a little additional evidence—Leeds Intelligencer.

Buckingham, and the Bev. David Appleby, would attend. As we read the bill, we were led into a labyrinth of thought upon the sub ject—what had the good folk of Chelmsford to do with the pretended case of" extraordinary abstinence from food?" but the problem was soon solved when we read so follows : —"Tickets of admission, marred seats Is., front seats 6d., back seats 2d."

Mr. Burgos, of the dm of amen aced lberres, end Mr. James, appeared on behalf of the Treeheld lasi end Fns Trade Society, end Mr. Comer sad Mr. MIMS Mande& to rep's. seat the Meet Surrey Reform Mogielsetha igglity.

In 1850 and 1861 the total anueber of new claims a~illjeot t sea by third parties was only 1,291, while an the prawn esemies the number is 2,819. A gross many of the tine believer, are understood to be llrullaffeff I apse Imiskal points, such as misdescrip tams etunalilloatima, rogaiaels. die. ; and the great increase in the number would eppear te be founded upon the anxiety of all parts e; to have the ragleter as complete u possible, and that every person entitled to a vote legally should havo his name placed upon the mister. The list of voters in the pari , h of Clapham was the first taken. Mr. Merasott took an objectixn to the sufficiency of the notice of objection served by tho liberal agent upon the overseen. The point arose upon an objection to the vote of Mr. William Michael Berkley. Mr. Meymott said that the act of parliament required the notice served upon the overseer to be an exact duplicate of the register, which the notice in question was not, for in the register the surname appeared tint, and was followed by the two Christian names, whereas in the. notice served upon the overseer the gentleman was described as Mr. William Michael Barkley. The Revising Barrister ruled that the notice. of objection was not in compliance with the act of parliament, and therefore was not valid. The effect of this decision was that a considerable number of objections made Ly the liberal agents could not be sustained. — Mr. William Smith claimed to vote in respect of certain leasehold cottages. It appeared that he had relied upon a neighbour to send in his claim to the overseers, and in consequence of this person being totally ignorant of the necessary forma used in such cases, the claim was defective in every material particular, the property not bring properly described, and the claim not being even signed by the party claiming the vote. Mr. Smith produced his deeds and explsined the circum stances under which the claim had been sent in. . . The Revising iairl;tiissldilThe;;;ea --- noTlenbt he was entitled to have his name upon the li‘t of voters ; but, u be bed neglected to make a proper claim, he bail no power to place him upon the register. lie should take care and send in • proper elides next year. In the Lambeth list, Mr. Edward Strntt claimed to vote in respect of his interest in a piece of land in the Wands worth-road. The claim was objected to by the overseers. Mr. Burgon supported the claim, and put in some deeds, by which it appeared that Mr. Bunn had en interest, with other parties, in the lend in question, and he called the agent of that gentleman to prove that one portion of the land was worth at least 101. • year, and he claimed to vote, is respect of that portion of it. In aware, to questions put by the Revising Barrister, it was admitted that no beneficial use was made of the piece of land, and that it was kept solely for the purpose of ob taining a vote, and that Mr. Strut* would not let it or make any us* of it, bat it was said that if it was let it was worth the amount required to confer a vote. The Revising Barrister said be thought the true criterion of the value of the land would be its being let for the amount. The act of parliament did not solely contemplate the creation of votes, and he was of opinion that under the eireametaaoss he could hardly bold that the valise required had been established. - - _ . A question then WON as to whether there was a aufati eut quell/kitties to confer the right without reference to this piece of land, and upon this_point the Revising Barrister was also against the claimant. Ile, however, consented to allow the matter to he MelltiO•1111 again, and said that if upon farther consideration he had any doubt upon the last panghis would grant a case to be argued in the Court of Pier.

The bitter Is now *Ma Iriaselise lessiltally with the surrounding GROUP EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.- MRS. CHISHOLM'S MEETINGS. Mrs. Chisholm held last evening another of those gatherings at which, during the present autumn, she has explained the advantages of her system of group emigra tion, and communicated so much valuable and practical information to those who ere about to try their fortunes to the "land of promise" for their guidance whi.e on ship board and after their turbid. This was the recand of these meetings held at the same place—the parochial shoot-room at Clapham Common—and its object more particularly was to expo*, the insufficiency of the government inspection of the provisions supplied to the passengers in emigrant ships. The chair was occupied by the Bev. WlNTWoltell \V. BOWYER, the rector of the parish. The Interest which these meetings excite in the public mind may be judged of from the fact that not only was the rum crowded to excess--though capable of eccommodating bosom 2,000 and 3,000 persons—but several hundreds were altogether excluded for want of room Mes. ffififtenoree, having been introduced by:the chair men, epsasd the subject by explaining that, unlike most of this/ who were convinced of the value of emigration, she dreslsd herself to pointing out its dangers and difficulties bread of painting it in glowing colours, and site was grati fied that her efforts to that end had excited a sympathy which she was now desirous of turning to the advantage of intending emigrants. She thought it aecesury to say that she was in no way pecuniarily interested in the question— that she had neither land nor sheep in the colon it mattered not to her whether labour in the colony was high— er low—neither was she interested in emigrant ships or in any office connected with emigration. She bad received invitations to hold group meetings in above 30 towns in England, and was also under a promise to visit Scotland for a month or so for the same purpose, and she did not like to go there without first bringing fairly before the public of the metropolis the difficulties and inconveniences to which emigrants were exposed on their e, and which the act of parliament could not meet. t s at, filthough the act of parliament could not meet them, they might easily be met and obviated by those merchants who were engaged in the passenger trade, and whose Mud nese it was to provision the ships. They were aware that there was an inspection of the provisions by a government officer—Captain Lane, one of the most efficient ensployrs she had ever met with—but, however strictly and coaseirn fleetly he might execute his duty, such ii.spi ctiun afforded no efficient security that the provisions examined and pawed by the inspector was the same as would be served out to the passengers dieing the voyage. There was no separate place far these provisions; they were placed in the hold, and served out by one of the officers (generally the third officer) of the chip: and they had heard instances where, uithin a few days after the ship sailed from Gravesend, provisions of a very different quality to those passed by the government inspector were supplied. The inspector ascertained that the same kind of provisions were put on board for the pas stingers as for the crew, and satisfied himself that their quality was good ; but there was no means of preventing tee change of the good provision for bad afterwards, which was sometimes done ; and she believed the absence of any security of that kind not only traded to the infliction of 'jujus tice on the emigrants but prevented many merchants of high character from engaging in a trade in which that character might be endangered without any fault of their own. She had pursued an inquiry into 947 cases of emigrants who had gone out by ships belonging to some of the most respectable houses in the shipping trade, and she found that each of these emigrants—all of whom were men of family, and sot disposed to spend money unnecesserily—found it prudent to provide a small store of beef, bacon, and biscuit for their use during the voyage, at an average cost of 21. 17s. 6d. per adult, of which only 3s. 6d. was for luxuries—i. e., if such a thing as •pot of jam for the young children could be so considered. this extra charge was incurred from dread that bad provisions would be substituted for good when the ship got out to sea. And what she welled was, that the 2/. 17s. 6d. so spent *mkt be reserved for the benefit of the emigrants ' when they arrived at the colony, or that it should be de wellifillerigration purposes in enabling their relatives to pia thaw (Hear.) She thought it would be easy to have • okparato piece, a sort of pantry, set apart for the provi der altar the inspection, where they could not be &mg* and it had been suggested that an act should M pawed to compel all ships with emigrants to Ina surgeon and • surgeon's mate, the first duty s latter to he to see the provisions when examine hp dm government officer, and after being so examined M Mk* charge of them, and put his own mark on swum peskze, sad to see them stowed away in a store rooms* for that purpose on board ship, the keys which to be in his possession. The whole of the provisions to be served out by the surgeon's mate only, who, at the mid of the voyage, should render an account of the stores in duplicate, together with such remarks be be necessary on their quality and condition. The or ship to be forwarded to the owners or charterer of the ship Tg England, the other to be delivered to their agents at the port of destination. The health of tho emigrants depending so materially on the provisions supplied, it appeared to her that the medical officer was the fittest person to be made responsible. (Cheers.) She thought the case would be met at once, and all diffi culty on the point removed if those gentlemen who were interested in the emigration trade (many of whom she was happy to say were now present) and who were anxious to keep up their characters as British merchants, would meet together determined to take measures to save to the poor emigrants this useless (as it ought to be ) expeuditure of 21. as. 6d. each. (Cheers.) She also suggested that it would contribute much to the health as well as the comfort of the passengers if an ironing stove were fitted in each ship so that the passengers might have the means of ironing as well as washing their clothes. Another regulation welch the shipowners should insect upon was that the barbarous practice of shaving, as it was called, on crossing the line should be abolished—(hen, hear)—a practice which was merely kept up as an excuse for extorting money from those often who could least afford it ; and under which the greatest cruelty was often isflieted. It was in the power of the owners to cure this evil ; all that was necessary was for them to intimate that the captain who permitted any of his passengers to be subjected to the operation, or allowed the crew to extort money from them as the means of avoiding it, would be dismissed, and never again employed ; and they would bear no more of shaving on crossing the line. (Cheers.) That such a system of tartars bar so long been allowed to exist, was owing only to emigration having been regarded hitherto as • little job bing busier, instead of, as it was destined speedily to be ers, thereat baster of the nation. (Cheers.) Another Improvement which might at once be made was in the cook ing grates, which at present were Tory inconvenient. These were the suggestions which she felt it her duty to throw out for the consideration of the shipowners, who would find is the end that their own interest would be best consulted by improving the accommodation on board their ships. In conclusion, Mrs. Chisholm begged to introduce Mr. Lind say, the eminent shipowner, whose aesistanoe, she said, she bossed to have in devising and carrying out measures for meditating the boMaess of emigration in • respectable sad Impost =MST. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. 8. 1.111101141 Y and Mr. Lowe, M.P. for Kidder minster, having addressed the meeting, Votes of thanks to Mee. Chisholenand the reverend chair man terminated the proceedings. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST TUE CHOLERA. Yester day, at the meeting of the St. Pancras Board of Directors, held in the Vestry-hall, King's-read, Camden Town, Mr. T. Rid Baker in the chair, Mr. Churchwarden Billett moved the following resolution That in consequence of the anticipated approach of cholera, it becomes necessary, as a precautionary measure, for this board to appoint a com mittee, for the purpose of investigating the sanitary oondi tion of the workhouse, more particularly with reference to its clueiflcation, diet, ventilation, drainage, ; and also to oonsider the most Judicious and efficient mode of treating and protecting the inhabitants of the parish, and to make such suggestions from time to time as circumstances may randsr expedient." The resolution was ad..pted.

THE ROYAL FARMS, WINDSOR GREAT PARK. — The annual sale of live stock from the farms in the occu pation of his Royal Highness Prince Albert took pram yes. terday (Tuesday) at Noi folk Farm, in Windsor (heat Park Them was a numerous attendance of company, including the leading butchers of the surrounding district,. and the auctioneer (Mr. Beckland, of Wraysbury), experienced no difiloulty in procuring a full and ready bidding for every lot. The sale consisted of 14 fine short-horned oxen, fit for the butcher ,• 9 fat short-horned cows ; 15 short-boned oxen, fit for stalling ; 29 meaty heifers, 3 short-horned cows ; 320 fat sheep, and 4 fat pigs.

The Loan MAYOR postponed, with the pereniseion of the court, two motions of which Alderman Copeland had given notice, the one relative to the necessity of affording greaten protection to penons resorting to the port of London for emi4on, the other with reference to certain pro au • in the Court of Common Council, till the next court ay. FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Alderman FAREBROTH lilt wished, belore the court proceeded to the business of the day, to ask a question, the answer to which would, he knew, be looked to with much interest by many. The two courts of the corporation had as became thew, expressed their deep regret at the death of the greatest general in the world, and her Majesty had signified the Royal intention that the remain. of the illus trious hero should be buried in St. Paul's Cathedral. lint as no time was flied for the funeral, he was anxious to know whether the Lord Mayor Elect and the Sheriffs would not postpone the great annual banquet from the 9th of November to some day eulneouent to that on whit,, the ceremonial ghoul t take place. (Heir, hear.) All persons of all ranks were solicitous to pay the most marked respect to the departed warrior and statesman, and he put the question to ascertain whether it was intended to pre,ent the example of the corporation of London to the notice of other prominent institutions of the country upon au occa sion to which the eyes of the whole nation were directed. (Hear, hear.) Alderman LAWRENCE thought a precipitate answer to such a question might involve the court in a dilemma. Ile would beg to be informed what had been the practice on occasions bearing resemblance to the late event ? (Hear, hear.) Lord Nelson died before, and was buried after the • 9th of November, ISO, and yet the Lord Mayor's-day din ner took place without postponement. Why, he wished to know, should not that precedent be followed ? The Duke was dead about a month, and perhaps the funeral would not take place before the expiration of two months more. Was all business, he desired to know, to be at a stand still during the whole of that long iuterval ? Was the 9th of Noveneher to be • day peculiarly marked out as a day on which no convivialities were to take place ? by, the members of the administration had not hesitated to attend public dinners, in order to give utterance to their unintelligible explanations, and lord Derby himself had figured away on °evasions of a similar kind with similar advantage, and nobody could say that my ate of them for a moment contemplated slight or dis respect towerd, the memory of the Duke of Wellington. Why, then, should the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs be opposed in their observance of an ancient custom, which had been always so punctually and honourably observed ? (Hear, hear.) Why, if the highest personage in the land lay in state for three mouths not much more could hare been required. If dinieg were to be considered as a dese cration, the prohibition might be carried to a very danger one and • very absurd extremity by the rigid observance of a three months' lent. (Hear, hear.) Alderman FAREBROTHEIt said that although Lord Nelson died before the 9th of November, his remains were not brought to this country previously to that day. Alderman SIDNEY mid they hail the precedent of Lord John Russell and other political men of importance for the acceptance of invitations to public dinners which had taken place since the death of the Duke of Wellington. In Scot land several public dinners had been given, and at Man chester a great political banquet would be held on the very day of appointment of the manual civic eelehratiod. Now, although no ono could more ardently desire than he that the highest honour and venerivion should be paid to the illustrious deceased, ho could not see why the usual routine of official duties, amongst the highest of which he rated the entertainment of her Majesty's ministers, should be post potted to • period which might possibly extend to the ensuing year. (Hear, hear.) Alderman FAREBROTIIEIt mid his opinion was not at all altered by what he had heard. He wished to hear the sentiments of those who were more immediately c encerned in the ceremonial of the 9th of November. Alderman CHALLIS (the Lord Mayor elect) said that if the power of fixing a day for the civic entertainment lay with him and the sheriffs he certainly would suggest a post ponement. He certainly was of opinion that sn exhibition of soldiers parading, and hands playing, and flags waving in the streets (which were a few weeks afterwards to be crowded with the followers in the great national funeral) would be unseemly and preposterous. (Hear, hear.) But they could not decide upon the question. In his opinion it would be advisable in the corporation to waft upon Lord Derby, and learn from his lordship whether her Majesty's ministers were prepared to accept an invitation upon the usual day, and to be guided in their proceedings by his lordship's answer. (Hear, bear.) If her Majesty's minis ters considered that there was no occasion fur a change in the day, then all could go on in conformity with the usual practice. If they thought otherwise, a day better adapted to the occasion could be easily appointed. He believed the sheriffs were under a similar impression. (Hear.) Alderman and Sheriff CARTEIt said his colleague (Mr. Call) and he agreed with the Lord Mayor in the opinion that it was not indispensable that the day of entertainment should bo on the 9111 of November. He was very desirous that there should be no dispute about dinners. That was a subject which had already drawn down upon the corp.'s: .ion ridicule and censure enough, in which those were obliged to participate who shared but little in the good things. Ho had no doubt that his fellow-citisens would have no objection to sit down to the enjoyment of the treat on a day a little more distant. (Hear, hear.) Here the conversation dropped. A complaint against a person petitioned against for hay ing acted improperly as a broker, was, after some discus sion, Alertt P an Da Ti d iiilPHEßY said the Governor of the Beak of England had complained to him that there wee no such thing in the weights and measures office of Gail lhall, of which so much had been said, as a pound troy-weight. The enormous influx of gold (rein California and Australia, had made it necessary to weigh that metal by the pound instead of the ounce. By and by he supposed it would be weighed hy the hundred. The TOWN CLERK said the weights bad been ordered and would be delivered at Ouildhail in the course ul this week. In answer to a question from a member of the court, The TOWN CLERK said it was intended to extend the duties of the present active inspectors of weights and mea sures to the examination of the weight, of the purchasers of bullion. THE THANZII OF THI COURT TO ALDIRMAN SIDNEY POl SATING TOR CORPORATION £4,800 • SEAL Sir C. MARSHALL moved that the Lord Mayor should present the vote of thanks voted by the Court of Aldermen to Alderman Sidney on the 21st of December, 18.11, for the zeal, talent, and perseverance with which he successfully asserted the City's rights to an allowance from the comoli dated fund for the charge of prosecutions and the cost of the maintenance of the criminal prisoners confined in the City prisons, by which an annual cost of upwards of 4,8001. was saved to their funds." Sir Chapman Marshall bore the warmest testimony to the laborious, zealous, Inn skilful exertions of his excellent brother alderman, who, he had no doubt, would not abate in his successful efforts to render further benefits to his fellow-citizens. (Cheers.) The resolution having been seconded . and supported in highly complimentary speeches, Gad unanimously carried, Alderman SIDNEY said he certainly expected that the court would present to hies some memorial of their appro bation, because he had been informed that such was their intention ; but he had not the least idea of the manner in which they meant to carry out their intention, and 1w waa wholly incapable of expressing his gratitude to the court for so very marked a testimonial of their esteem. (Cheers.) After the transaction of other business the court ad journed. GREAT POLGOOTH MINING COMPANY. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of shareholders in this company was held at the London Tavern ; :dr J. Brown in the chair. The report stated that 13 fathoms had been driven in St. Martin's - lode in they 84th fathom level, and tin ground laid open, worth about 2,600/. The expectauons as to the future are great, and tin ground , likely to be opened to the extent of hundreds of fathoms. 25 fathoms bad been excavated on St. Martin's in the 96 I fathom level, end tin ground laid open, worth 5,0001. There was every reason to expect the continuance of this ground to the extent of 200 fathoms. A north lode at the 184 fathom level had just been cut, from which a consider. able quantity of rich tin ground was expected. With na -1 spent to the eastern shaft and ground, the report stated that the shaft was already 30 fathoms below the adit, and that the prospects from it were favourable. With regard to the mine generally, the levels are carried out with the usual success of opening tribute ground. From the immense ex tent of the mine, and its numerous lodes, no bounds as to time could be set to a regular course of gaining. The prospects for duration rod profit were greater than ever they were. if the tin grow els in the 84th and 90th fathom levels were of the same ari-rage as the runs already opened in these levels, they would alone be worth about 80,000/.
