Toe whom' of middle-elms examination originated by the Liiivcreity of Oxford has now 'maimed a prac tical shape. Some few days ago we published the regulations for the examination of senior candi dates, ce youths under the age of 18 who desire the title of Associate in Arts. These regulations seem framed with a great deal of good sense. If judicimmly enforced, they wia serve to ascertain whether those who submit thrioselvis to the test have received a sound education. Besides English, Arithmetic, Geography, English History, and—in some cases— the rudiments of IG ligious doctrine, every candidate will be required to pass in two, at least, of six sections, whichis er be may prefer. It would be tedious to repeat in detail the contents of these sections: but they embrace such subjects as English History, Political Economy, Latin, French and German, Algebra, Chemistry, Drawing and Music. Numerous, however, as are the subjects of examination, the danger of superficial knowledge menu to be carefully guarded against. The object seems to be to give ample choice to can didates as to the matter upon which they shall be examined, bat at the same time to insist that upon the special subject which they profess, they shall possess an exact knowledge. Much of the sonar of every scheme of examination depends, of coarse, cm the manner in which it is conducted. We have every confides., in the experience of the examiners who may be selected by the University of Oxford. Teamed, the whole being voluntary, unless sensible men are appointed, it is pretty obvious that no candidates will appear before them. At present all wo can say is this, that if the examination is carried into practical effect with the same prudence which has been displsyed in drawing up the scheme, there iv little di,ubt of its success. The object of the scheme is simple enough. Its importance is proved by the fact that the Universi ties, both of Oxi'ord and of Cambridge, have adopted it, and have determined to carry it on. Oxford, no doubt, was tint in the field, for the movement arose oat of a letter addressed by the Rev, FREDERICK TEIII'LE (now Head Master of Rugby) to the Master of l'imbroke. That gentleman's position as a diAinguislud member of the University, as an Inspector of Schools, and as our who knows practically se much as any man about the state of Education in Engteid, naturally gave his repre sentations groat weight. He pointed out that whilst the tipper classes had the Universities, and the lower classes had tine aid of Government, the middle climes were left quite encored for. He showed that parents in the middle rank" of life had no means of obtaining a cheap end good education for their children. Thiy had little knowledge themselves. They could neith. r ow( rtain whether the master of a school was capahlc, nur whether the scholars were properly taught. Young people of ability and know ledge in the usiddk da.ses were thin too often left in obscurity. They hid re, means of making their merits Down. These were serious evils; and Mr. Tex PIA asserted from his own personal experience that, if these defects could by any means be remedied, it would be regarded as a great boon by the middle clam's. He illustrated his opinion by reference to the ammo of the Society of Arts in the examination of adults, and the eagerness with which the privilege of being examined 17 that Society was seized upon. The remedy suit;tuatid was this: that the Universi ties of Oxford acd Cambridge should appoint persons to examine all candidates—without refer ence to country oe creed who should present themselves ; that the places of examination should be either at the Universities or in the country, and that in order to pro- vide the nee:miry funds a small sum should be paid by the persons examined. The successful can didates were nut only to receive a certificate con ferring upon them the degree of Associate in Arts, but were tribe arranged in the order of merit, their names being regularly published. Now this scheme hie been carried practically into effect by the regu lations just published by the University of Oxford, and we rejoice to find that, according to the report of the Committee appointed to consider the matter by the University of Cambridge, the same regula tions wi!l probably be adopted there. Indeed, so much importance does the Cambridge Committee attach to unanimity, that they recommend the adop tion of the very same tido, Associate in Arts, which has already been adapted ►y the Univeraity of Ox ford. We may take en exaggerated view of the inipor- ; Macs of this move bat unless we are grievously mistaken it promises come of the best results both to the Universities and to the middle class... For centuries almost thew institutions have been re garded by the peopl: of this country as the nurseries of a cold aristocracy," the strongholds of bigotry and blindness. This movement will at once show that these learned bodies begin to moraine their real purpose, u..: to r, tcpt their destiny. With all that spirit of independence which has long dietin Knitted them, they now propose to go through the land as unpaid inspector of education; not to compel any 3 oath to submit himself to their judgment, but to pass an unbiassed judgment on 4 ., , ry one who chooses to coma before them, and to cow, r that honourable title of alio tion with the old Universities which any may be proud to pommy. Nor is this 'IL Within the Uri. versifies themselves a great movement has been made. Foundations have bees. thrown open ; scholars an welcomed from all quarters. la it too much to anti cipate that thrx• University examiners will act, not only m inspecting aims, bat as recruiting sae THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1857. grants? In the coarse of things many spoor friend less boy of 15 or 18 in oar remote village* and thronged manufacturing towns will come before them, whose genius may thus have the means of attracting the attention of those who can assist to reward it. Is mach cases the hundreds of echolarsbipe and fellowships now open at the Uninmities would tarnish an obvious resource. The Examiners would naturally point out 1 the course to be pursued; and thus many a youth may be reserved to do honour to his country. who, under other circumstances, might have passed a life of obscurity or discontented neglect. We do not assert that a benefit each as this will be the ordi nary benefit of these examinations. The substantial result will be found in the fact that every middle elan school throughout England will be praotically placed under a strict inspection. Many schoolmasters will, no doubt, at once submit themselves to examination in ceder to obtain a connexion with the Univer sity, and that status in their profession which such • connexion implies. But beyond this, the allealle of candidates at these examinations will operate as a sort of test of tie education which they have received, just as success at the Universities themselves is claimed as • test by the various public schools in England. In short, the parents in the middle climes will by these examinations be furnished with a cheap means of knowing whether their children have been well taught; the able teachers sad the able scholars will be enabled to show their abilities to the world ; sad a stimulus will thus be given to middle clue education which moat be of the utmost advantage to the country. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. VERSATILITY OF A FRENCH BTATZSMAY. In 18,52 M. Dnpin, who has now accepted the office of Procureer-Genend at the Court of Caseation, on tho appointment of the Emperor, addressed the following letter to M. Louts Napoleon, than President of the Republic. It announces Ms resignation of the °Moe of Procurear- General on amount of the confiscation of the Orleans property: "PARIS, Jan 23, 1852. "To the President of the Republic, l -1 regret exceedingly that, previous to the publication of the decree which I have read this mouing in the Noniteur, you had not heard my opinion with the lame kindness you have sometimes maid betel towards me. I should have tried to demonstrate to you, not merely in the private interests of the children, the greater part minor', of the late king—of whom lam one of the testamentary executere,—but in the interest of your own government, that those who suggested that measure are not acquainted with the facts, sad that they have disregarded all the roles of law end equity. In fact thank an extreme exag geration (getout to the amount of half) to the enkaate made of the property of the Orleans family. In law the decree violates in its essence the very principle of propertl. This right of property was recognised, after a &elven discussion, in the pawn of the late King by the 22nd end 23rd clauses of the law of March 2, 1832 ; and in the person of his children by the very acts of the revolution of February, by the decree of the Constituent Assembly of the 25th of Oct. 1648,and by the law of the National Assembly of Feb. 4, 1850, promulgated by your government, and authm:sing the loan of 20,000,000 on that property by you Minister of Finance. Thus, public right, will, epode] laws, contracts, all have recognised in the hands of the peaces of the house of Orleans their right to the property which the decree of January 22 deprived them of all at once, and in a manner me absolute that the sacred t:ghte of the tomb, the be-ill-ground of Deena, ere not even exoeptcd. If the constitution of January 15 was in operation, the senate might be appealed to, in virtue of the 26th article, which permits that body to make opposition to the promulgation of laws which are cow Leery to the inviolable character of property. In the preset state of thiuge the orly course is to appeal to you, Prince, end to Invoke pons wisdom and the magnanimity of your own Beans when they ere again consulted, and more delibe lately listened to. Bat if these rigorous matures are to be maintained, a great scruple arks from the depth of my con science. As Procureer-General to the Caret of Cessation for nearly twenty-two yeare—sa the prin.- 4'l organ of the law in that high branch of jeriedidion, charged as I am by the government to proclaim the constant respect to tight, end to require the reversal and the :annulling of acts which violate the law ' or which proceed from exam of power by the govern ment, how shall I be above henceforth to exercise the mar &mum if acts are introduced in ow legislation white see in contradiction with these principles ? I feel mystlf broad, therefore, to tender you my resignation. But I pray you,' Prince, and in an earnest manner, nut tor:Misunderstand my motives. The resolution I have adopted has nothing to do with politics. As president of the late Assembly, I rigorously kept myself apart front parties end their fatal division, end limited toyed/ to the task of maintaining, as much as I individua l ly we'd, the legal and morel doctrines on which the emended order of civilised society reposes. After the coop decor of Dec. 2, against which it became my duty to protest as I have done, I walks' the judgment of the people, appealed to by you. After that solemn judgment I adhered frankly to the im mense powers which were the result of that appeal,conaidering them as the strongest guerantes that could be presented to preserve or re-establish thoeo principles which a wild sodalism had enlinger , l and menaced; and, es a public functionary, my 00-operation was loyally given to you. Bat at the present moment, and on a Tunica of civil right and of private rights, of natural eqrity, end of ell Cr-istian notions of what is jut and tinkled, and which I cherish in my soul for more than fifty years as a lawyer and a magis trate, I feel myself absolutely called on to resign my tune dons of procurenr-general. Be pleased, Prince, to accept the sentiments of my respectful oonsideration. "Durix, THE INDIAN Dna" FUND. The committee of the above fend having received many generous offers of homes, education, and, in many in• stances, of the entire adoption of orphans of sufferers by the mutiny in India, express their sense of the great assistance they shall derive from these Mien, when the whole of the eases arising oat of the mutiny, and the exact circumstances of the children, shall be fully known. Already, in England alone, eighty-11a children who are more or less in need of essistanee, have been brought to the notice of the committee ; bat the seeeente from India show that by far the greats number are still at the different stations in that country. From an authentic document recently received, no lees than 2,500 females and non-adulta, many of whom are doubtless erphans,are known to have been at that time in the fort of Agra. At Lucknow there were a great many ; end the Hill &Mims of Nam Tat, Muasouree, and Simla were crowded with futitive familia from Onde, Robilcund, Delhi, end the North-West provinces. Our recent heavy lower at Delhi end Lucknow will also add considerably to the number of orphan,. The attention of guardians of children, whose f 4•ndlees condition and diatreseas err directly tractable to the mutiny, is requested to the following gement statement of offers at the dial nal of the committee. Further information (if re quired) will be supplied on application to either of the how ray acrobats' of the Belief Committee, on proof being given that the MOB are such as justify the grant of aid from this fund. EXETER HALL. THE REV. Ht7OH (STOWELL BROWN. Last evening the second of the course of lectures intended for the members of the Young Men's Christian Association was delivered in this hs'l, Mr. Samuel Morley in the chair. The Rev. Samuel Minton having offered up prayers, the chairman called upon the Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown to commence his lectors, the subject of which dis cussion was "Manliness." The rev, lecturer without any preliminary remarks entered at once upon his subject. lie said that " Mealtime" properly understood was the one thing needful, for that manliness and virtue were Men tical ; if, therefore, we knew what virtue wee we know what was manlineas. Its essential conditions were truth fulness, temperance, chastity, fortitude, good temper, bow volence, and godliness. The Romans for moral excellence of ewe y kind used the word " virtue," the root of which was " (men), and we had the equivalent to it in the word " manlinien," which had the same root. Every teen, them, who was virttents was manly, and every man who was vicious wee unmanly. Many a man who stood six feet high, and who was generally looked upon as manly, was frequently a mere pigmy, while many a dwarf was a real giant. if the conditions of =climes were physicist form and intellectual power, none but the very strong or the very wiser or witty could attain it ; but it was within th e tomb of every one when it was considered as everything that can beautify and adorn and glorify human nature. In the lighter part of his lecture the reverend gentleman approved of fencing, wrestling, cricket, rowing, coursing, hunting, yachting, chess, end billiards, end such games, as way exercises, but ridiculed end denounced as brutalising, effe minate, and demoralising, hores-racing, dancing, and play going, excepting musical entertainments, which are soothing, animating, cheering, and altogether humanising. He wee particularly humorous in describing the characteristics of "fast" men, and in giving specimens of their slang, but yoke seriously and strongly against every form of limn newness. In adverting to manliness in relation to religion, and in meshing of the Mom mesa, Mr. Brown said that he had read many religions tracts, published at • penny or two pence, which had no spark or ray of light unless committed to the gamer. Ile should loathe to place any of them in the hands of a sceptical mechanic to teach him that Christianity was a truth, for he should be very much surprised if they did not confirm him in his opinion that Christianity was weakness and erldtion. Religion, however, had no ma son to be ashamed of its literature, for it wee relicion per 'adieu the mind that gave to the world Milton's "Families Lost," and Bunyan', " Pilgrisn's Progress," and Butler's Analogy," and Paley's "Heideman," awl " Horn Pauline'," and Foster's " Emays." In conclusion, he re. commended good manners united with good morals, and en forced truthfulness and sincerity. Ho ended amid loud cheering, which, throughout his lecture, had been frequent THE GOVERNMENT PRESS AND PABLIA- MENTARY REFORM. The Globs wishes to know where we found state- I sents in the Ministerial journals that there would be so Reform Bill next session. The Times is to be regarded as the leading organ at the Government; and on the 9th instant we find It saying : " Under these circumstances, we do not think the subject of Parliamentary Reform will stand much chance in the next session." Again, on the 18th instant, the Times summed up its reasons against a Bill next session by : " cannot but think on the whole that Parlia mentary Reform had better wait." The same evening the Globe itself wound up an article depreciatory of the question by disclaiming "Any grand expectation for the session of 18,58." And next morning the Morning Pose—better in spired, perhaps, then even the Times or the Globe— frankly remarked, in foreshadowing the measures of next session : " We do not expect to hear anything of • Reform BilL" This is where we find the Ministerial Press pre paring the way for a Ministerial abandonment of the promise of a Reform Bill next session. At times, however, the Ministerial Press is not very well informed es to Ministerial intentions. For instance, on the 12th instant the Globe took 118 to task for insisting that the circumstances of the country required an instant relaxation of the Bank Act of 1/544, and ridiculed the notion of the Gnu rn ment interfering as it had done in 18-17. Yet, in a sewed edition of the (nobs of the same evening ap edthe Government Letter to the Bank of Eng - M e ,authorising . the Bank to employ those means of enlisting suffering trade and commerce which the Governmental Globe had a few hours before de scribed as " empiricaL" Bo it will in all human probability turn out with Parliamentary Reform. We shall have a Reform notwithstanding the assurances of the Ministerial Press to the contrary. And thus they will learn another lesson of the inconveniences of subserviency. .Daily News. !lit Court.

The ramours which have been current fur the last few days, that M. Duple was likely to succeed M. de Royer u Procurcur-General to the Court of Casea tion, were not generally believed. It NM thought impossible that this eminent man, after having re rosined for six years in private life, should now, at the age of seventy-five, accept the very office which he resigned on January 23, 1852, the day after the confiscation of the property of the Orleans family, on the ground, as he stated in his letter to Louis Napoleon of that date, that he could not have the courage to raise his voice as the principal organ of the law in the Supreme Court of the country if decrees having the force of law were to be acted upon, which were in open defiance of all those principles which it was his daily duty to uphold. In that letter he told the (then) President of the Republic that the confiscation was " a breach of civil and private right, of natural equity, and of all those Christian notions of what was just and unjust," which be had cherished during his fifty years' career as a lawyer and a magistrate. Nevertheless, the confiscation decree remaining unrepealed, Louis Philippe's intimate personal friend and executor is now gazetted to his old poet. A suspicion of • hat was brewing must have crossed, the minds of some of the old friends of the Orleans family, who were present the other day at the funeral service for the late lamented Duane of Nemours, as it is mentioned in the Belgian journals that M. Dupin was treated with marked coolness l on that occasion. However strange the appoint ' went must appear to the lovers of consistency, it is to be observed that political people in France have short memories, and it can scarcely be denied that the adhesion of so important a personage as M. Dupin to the Imperial government is a great fact. M. lupine salary u Procurcur-General is 40,000 fr., and as he will, se smatter of course, be immediately elevated to the dignity of senator, with its emolu ments of 30,600 fr., he will add 70,000 fr. a year to ' his income—bat this to a man of his great age and handsome fortune cannot be the leading consideration. The Mo•itsvr contains another legal appointment of great importance. M. Valise, the Procureur-General of the Imperial Court of Paris, is ' appointed President of one of the Chambers of the Court of Cessation, in the room of the late M. La plague Barris, and is succeeded by M. Chaix d'Fst Ange, one of the most illustrious advocates at the French bar. In accepting this office, M. Chaix d'Est Ange makes an immense pecuniary sacrifice. Besides having perhaps the largest and most lucra tive amount of court business of any man in his pro fession, he was counsel to the city of Paris, and the average of his fees altogether could not have been less than from 200,000 fr. to 300,000 fr. a-year. It is to be presumed that he hu made money enough, and seeks rank and comparative repose, for his salary w ill, I believe,be not morethan 20,000 fr. a year, and he must give up all his private pretties. The present government has never had in its service two law officers of the crown of such high personal dis tinction as M. Depict and M. Chaix &Eat Ange. Hitherto the procurcors have been taken from a class of lawyers (unknown in England) who are bred to the magistracy exclusively, and who have nothing like the weight in public estimation which the leaders of the bar have. The Bourse has been • good deal better. The Itente rose 20c. for cash and 16c. for 'meant, chains at 66fr. 65e. and 6 fr. Mobilier rose 10fr. ; Orleans rose 15fr.; Lyons, 10fr. ; Western and Northern, 7fr. 50c. each; and the other lines from 2fr. 60c. to tifr.

Copt. Kemp, adjutant of the battalion depot, and several other officers, were present during the inquiry. The first winner called was Robert Holmes, a labourer, who deposed that on Sunday evening !sat, a few minutes after 6 o'clock, he heard horses coming along the Stuffy-toad, towards Canterbury, one of them ridden by the deceased. They were running vet/ feet. The grey horse, ridden by the deceased, reached the Vauxhall turnpike-gate first, which the animal attempted to clear. Its fore-feet struck the top her of the gate, and the horse turned a complete somersault, falling upon the de ceased. Witness went immediately to the spot, and dragged the deceased from under the horse, and took him into the turnpike house. Mr. Andrews end another surgeon wars quickly in attendance. The second horse came but up against the gate, and the rider fell off on to hie head. The deceased appeared to be very much hurt. Witness sub sequently assisted in removing the deceased officer to the kende. By the Foreman—lt was dark at the time, but the light of the lamp over the gate enabled him to me what was going on. Did not believe the officer rode at the gale. Cornet William Jones Thomas, of the 2nd Dragoon Guard', said—Between two end three on Sunday afternoon, I left Canterbury with the deceased and two other offices,. We were all on botseback. We proceeded to 'Whitstable, end front thence to Herne Bay, which latter place we left about six o'clock in the evening. We galloped most of the way—the deceased and myself. Between Stony and the turnpike gate my horse set off at a gallop, when the deceased tried to race me, and paned me, reaching the gate before me, by a few eexads only. I heard the club of the gate, and the deceased cried out. I cannot say whether the deceased's home got the mastery of him or not. I mastered my own horse. The cause of the deceased's death was entirely an accident. It was dark at the Until nearly rea ding the temples I could not see whether there via any light or not. Tho deceased was not drunk, but was able to sit well and control his horse. He had been drinking • little. I believe the deceased arrived at the gate sooner than he expected, and too late to stop his horse. No one urged the horse on but the deceased. By the Foreman—Did not leap any other tut .spike-gate on their way from Herne Bay. Did not ride against the gate, nor fall from his horse. The deceased end witness die. mounted at Stuffy, but we did not have any refreshment there. Richard Tooke y, engine -driver, saw the last winsand the deceased otbcer at Stun'', a l ittle after six on Sunday evening. They drove down the bill at a rapid rate. They both stopped just by the railway encasing, and got off their horses. They celled out to some boys to hold their horses. Witness 'waisted in holding one of the home. The gentleman on the bay horse was in liquor, and wee assisted on to his hone by witness. He said, We will net ride so fast any more to-night." They then walked on gently through the village, but afterward, gallepped of again. On wit Ass reaching the turnpike-gate they wore just lifting the deceased into the house. Mr. Thomas Andrews, surgeon, was sent foe to attend the deceased about seven o'clock on Sunday evening. He found him at the Artillery barracks. The deceased's left arm woe severely fractured, and het waa in an insensible state and is strong convulsions. From the severe ll there was fa a cOl2. ctlinice of the brain, which produced the mat Aloes and wee the MIN of death. The jury rewind a verdict of " Accidental death," with • recommendation that there should be a better hest kept at the gate. ZEE BOILER EXPLOSION AT HUDDERSFIELD, TWELVE Llris LOST.
