A part of Vice-Chancellor Brady's address referring to the new charter was loudly hissed, end, on a renewal of this de monstration, he had to threaten an adjournment of the proceedings. The Lord-Lieutenant said the changes in the constitution of the university were of great importance, not alone as regarded the future of the university, but as to the cause of education in Ireland, and he regretted that so much acrimony had been intro duced into their discussion. The present government bad Wren no part in the movement ; they had not sought to influence public opinion, but they hoped to derive much information from the proceedings on the subject in con- Vocation. It was with this object he had applied for the Queen's letter, constituting the convocation of the univer sity •deliberatice body, in order when the matter came to be discussed in parliament, as it no doubt would, they Might have the advantage of the deliberations of expe rienced and wise men. YARMOUTH ETA:v.IION COMMISSION.—The com missioners met again yesterday, rind heard other witnesses. Nothing of importance transpired. The town clerk and the legal agent of Sir E. Lacon were amongst the wit h/ages. One man stated that he "did" a little bribery at the election, and was careful that he did not keep any account of how the money went. The equestrian statue to Prince Albert, erected in front of St. George's Hall, Liverpool, was yesterday formally inaugurated by the mayor of that town. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH A THIEF.-011 Saturday night last Mr. Thomas Dray, cheeserconger, of the Leytonstone road, Lad a desperate encounter with a man named James Crawley, the son of Crawley who was hanged at Chelmsford for murdering his wife. It appears that late on S a t ur d ay n i g ht h e wen t t o Mr. Dray's shop sad succeeded in getting clear off with a piece of pickled perk. In about ten minutes he came again and then nn away with a whole pig's head. Mr. Day this time was Uri him, but the scoundrel turned round with a liege c knif e i n hi s h an d and striking at Mr. Dray aftdd, " aka that you —." Fortunately Mr. Dray warded the blow from a vital part aimed at ; unfortu. Irately, however, he did not get quite clear, as he received the stab in his hand. He grasped the thief by the throat, and Mr. Williams, corn factor, and Mr. Wells, neighbours, ,ounting to his assistance, the thief was secured. He was *ought before the magistrates at Stratford on Monday lad committed for trial. The shipping trade of the port of Grimsby never lip so htisk as at the present time.

The semi-official North German Gazette, of this evening, contains an article commenting upon cer tain disquieting rumours of alleged military measures, published yesterday by the Bank and Commercial Journal. The article says :—" In political circles nothing whatever is known with regard to the measures in question, and there is absolutely nothing in the political relations of Prussia with other Powers which could render their adoption necessary." The North German Gazette alio, alluding to an announcement recently published by the Vienna press, that the English ambassador at Berlin had made representations to the Prussian government relative to the private fortune of King George of Hanover, says : "So far as we are informed, the only foundation that exists for this announcement is that the English minister had entered into an incidental diplomatic conversation on the subject." THE PRIISSO-HUNGARL&N LEGION. BRIELitt, Oor. a The Prussian cabinet has addressed representa tions to the Austrian government in reference to the arrest, by the Austrian authorities at Altfrie deck, of 800 Hungarians, forming a portion of the former Pruaso-Hungarian Legion. The Austrian reply, received at Berlin by telegraph, announces that the necessary steps have been taken for carry ing out the guarantee contained in the treaty of peace, that no impediment should be offered by the Austrian authorities to the return of the members of the legion to their homes. ROME. ROME, Ocr. 11. A despatch, dated Baltimore, 9th inst., has been received here from a council of seven arch bishops and forty bishops, in which they salute the Pope, and express wishes for the preservation of the ancient rights of the Holy See. THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. CONSTANTINOPLE, Otm IL Intelligence received here from Candia states that the Cretan insurgents had been driven to the mountains, where they were partially surrounded by sea and by land. A portion of them intended to submit to the Turkish authorities. Many Greek families who had fled were return ing to their homes. Military operations have commenced in the Anti-Taurus. THE NETHERLANDS. THE HAGUE, Ocr. 11. The King has issued a proclamation, dated yes terday, declaring that it is impossible to govern with a Second Chamber constituted like the one which has just been dissolved, as the division ex isting between government and representatives oc casioned continual changes in the ministry which were prejudicial to the prosperity of the country. The King invites all the electors to take part, without exception, in the balloting on the 90th of October, in order to bring about union between the government and the representatives. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AT PORT AU PRINCE. si. NAZLIRS, Om 10. Intelligence received here from Hayti announces that, on the 18th September, the arsenal of Port au Prince was blown up by an explosion. Two hun dred adjacent houses were destroyed. THE BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, Ocr. 11. The Bank of France return for the week ending to-day shows the following changes compared with the last account: Increase :—Billa dis counted, 3,i30,000f. ; treasury balance, 1,000,000 f. ; advances, 200,000 f. Decrease : Cash, 22,330,000 f.; notes, 8,900,000 f. ; current accounts, 8,800,000 f. THE WEST INDIES. The West India and Pacific Company's steamship Chilian arrived at Liverpool yesterday with three days' later news from Jamaica, havingleft Kingston on the 16th oh. • By this arrival we have received Panama dates to the ith ult. The vexed question between Chili and Bolivia, as to the possession of the guano deposits, had been amicably settled by the disputed territory being equitably divided between the two dispu tants, the degree of 24 south being the dividing line. A French firm, Arnaud and Co., had offered the sum of six millions of dollars for the privilege of working the lately discovered guano deposits re ferred to above, known as Upper Peruvian guano. The Jamaica Gleaner of the 15th ult. says : " We have been informed that his Excellency Sir John Peter Grant, K.C.8., visited the other day a negro wedding party, in the vicinity of Creigh ton, and after partaking of a glass of wine, wished the happy couple success in life. Little incidents of this kind are particularly pleasing, and are likely to do much in restoring the confidence of the negroes in the administration which countenances their social virtues." A severe storm passed over Jamaica on the 12th ult., and in Spanish Town the lightning set fire to a quantity of rum. THE LAMIRANDE CASE.—In an article upon this subject the New York Times, of the 28th ult., says : " Aside from the criminality of this man as a defaulting cashier of the Branch Bank at Poitiers in the sum of 480,000 f., or nearly 100,000 dolt., there is some romance in his flight and capture. But before we speak of this, we desire to express our stern disapprobation of the manner in which this criminal was abducted from Canada by , ----- • 4.

Her royal highness bowed constantly, and smiled the smile which is the distinguishing feature of her beauty. She already wore the dress of the Imperial Court, a red velvet tiara (called in Russian a kokoshunr), richly sprinkled with diamonds. The rest of her dress was necessarily white, but how it was orna mented or fashioned your correspondent is quite unable to say, for all he could see through a plate glass window was a rosy, cheerful face, gracefully moving is a cloud of tulle. 19.

A banquet was given last evening, at the Albion Hotel, Alcleregate.etreet, by the British North American Association, to the delegates from Nova Soria and New Brunswick now in England. About sixty gentlemen WU, present. The Hon. ARTHUR ICIIINAIRD, M.P., presided, supportedon his right by the Earl of Cimarron, the How Dr. Tupper, of Nova Scotia (delegate) ; Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P. ; and Colonel North, M.P. ; and on his left by the Hon. Mr. Tilley (delegate), of New Brunswick ; Mr. E. Watkin, M.P. • Mr. Minas, Governor of British Guiana ; and the Hon. Yr. Hibbert. Amongstthe other dole. gates parent were Mesas. Mitchell, Chandler, Arehibold, /Malley, Fisher, M'Farlane, and Johnson. The general company comprised Sir F. Head, Sir C. M. Sampson ' Mr. 'W. Hartridge, Sir C. P. Roney, Sir F. Bogen, Mr. New march, and Mr. P. Gillespie. The dinner was served d la Run, and wee of the most rerAerolti character. The awl loyal trete having been disposed of, The Crummier said they had nothing to do with politie s in that room, but he thought they would all drink, with pleasure, to her Majesty's Ministers, who, he hoped, would be able to carry OD the government with advantage to the country. They were greatly indebted to the noble earl on hie right the Minister for the Colonies, who had honored them with his presence, and they were also much indebted to his predecessor the Duke of Newcastle, who threw his heart and soul into the great object of confederation of those provinces ; and rio less were the indebted to Mr. Cardwell, who gave his beet energies to carry out this great object ; and he had no doubt that the noble earl on his right would as heartily join his endeavours to carry out the Name object. . • The Earl of CARSeIIVON, in replying to the tome, mid the question of the confederation of the provinces had not yet come under the official consideration of her Majesty's government. When it did, no doubt there would be many point. to consider, many interests to be weighed, some differences of opinion to be reconciled. In the meantime, it would be premature on his part, and he should be departing from his public duty, if he expressed an opinion on this great ques tion, but in the name of all three in this country who took an interest in this great national subject, he was free to welcome those representatives of the British North American provinces who were with us ; and he was free on the part of her Majesty's government to promise an earnest and respectful attention to everything that those governments might urge when they came into trammel on behalf of those provinces, those towns, and those govern' ments of which they came as the accredited envoys. (Cheers.) lie could promise them that they should find no indifference on the part of her Majesty's government to their wishes, no want of confidence in their national as- Orations, and he thought that whatever might be the issue of that counsel, they should at least present this picture, which would be a picture not unworthy altogether of this country, and as far as he knew, unparalleled in the colonial history of the world ; they would show the picture of • mother country discussing frankly, freely, and friendly with her colonies great constitutional changes desired and proposed by them, with the assistance of the mother country, without one particle of jealousy or of mistrust ; and, on the side of the colony, with the most earnest loyalty and affection to the mother country. (Cheers.) Changes, no doubt, in the course of time, might come, which might vary our relationship with our distant colonies, but changes depended very much in their nature on the spirit in which they were conceived, and also upon the spirit in which they were met ; and when changes were made in such a temper as was shown on both sides in this ques tion, he thought there was no reason to fear the result. Once in the history of England it so happened that we parted from some of our great colonies with • bad spirit, and in • misunderstanding, the evil effect of which was felt for many a long year, and left traces of themselves in jealous exasperation and embittered relations between those who ought to have been firm friends and allies, which it had required many years, more than a generation, to over come. Gradually that feeling had, he believed and hoped, passed away, anti the two nations had come under the influence of mutual respect. But, at all events, this had taught us a useful lesson, and he thought we need not be ashamed to own it. It taught us that conciliation was better than coercion; it taught us that if we would have confidence that would be repaid to us a hundredfold. It taught us, and it taught the colonies also, that the interest of England and the interest of the colonies properly understood was not a separate or a dis tinct interest, but that the more prosperous the colonies were the greater would be the strength they would confer upon the mother country. (Cheers.) 20. Gilt oarrisges, drawn by six hones, with their Impe rial Highnesses the Grand Duchess Constantine, the Grand Duchess Nicholas, the Grand Duchess Mary (daughter of the Emperor), and the Grand Duchess Olga (daughter of the Grand Duke Constantine), accompanied by the equerries and pages of their respective courts. 21. The Grand Duchess Catherine and the Princess Eugenie of Leuchtenberg, also in a carriage drawn by six horses, and with similar attendants. 22. The first troop of the Cuirssaiers of the Guard. M. The ladies in waiting and maids of honour to the several courts, in gilt carriages. 24. A troop of Cossacks of the Guard, termin►ting the procession. On reaching the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, the cortege stopped ; the Emperor and the Grand Dukes alighted from their horses, while the Empress, the Princess, and the Grand Duchesses left their carriages and ascended the steps of the cathedral, at the door of which they were met by the metropolitan and clergy carrying the cross and holy water. The prayers lasted but a short time, when the Emperor and the rest of the Imperial family, issuing out of the cathedral, took their former places in the procession, which then moved on uninterruptedly in the direction of the Winter Palace. Towards this point a human tide at once began to set in, until it filled the huge open place of the Admiralty to overflowing. The point of attraction was the tent of the Em press, erected over the south entrance of the pa lace, where the Princess was evidently expected to appear to the people. They were not long kept in suspense, for the whole of the cortege had scarcely got within the palace gates before the Emperor and Empress, with the Czarewitch and Princess Dagmar, came forward and bowed repeatedly in acknowledgment of the enthusiastic cheers raised on their appearance. The air at one time was per fectly darkened by the shower of bats and caps that were thrown up in token of exuberant joy. Her royal highness was obliged, by the continued accla mations, to come forward again, and show herself for a few more seconds to her future subjects. At night the city was brilliantly illuminated. The Nevsky was one mass of light, but the most striking effect was produced on the Admiralty and Isaacs places. Here the architectural lines of the gigantic buildings of the Etat Major and Admiralty were illuminated in the most perfect taste. A house belonging to a rich Russian merchant in the Nevsky was, however, most admired by the popu lace, on account of the splendid bouquets of fire which filled each window. But I mnst not omit to mention the Fortress. That grim Newgate for political prisoners was also traced out with lines of light which made it look like a fairy palace floating on the surface of the still, moonlit Nova. The Princess, as she drove through the town at night with the Emperor, Empress, and Czarewitch must indeed have felt herself transported into fairy land. On Sunday the Imperial family went in state to the Opera. The tickets had been previously dis tributed by official authority, with an intimation that gentlemen were to appear in full uni form and the ladies in ball dresses. The Emperor, accompanied by all the members of his family, including of course the Prin cess Dagmar, entered the Imperial box at about eight, when every one rose and stood in silence while the Russian and Danish national anthems were being performed by the orchestra. Some disappointment has been felt by the general public at the cold and undemonstrative form of reception which had been strictly enjoined on the audience by the officials who conducted the ceremonies, hut the Journal de St. Petertafroury explains that " the law of etiquette, strictly interpreted, demanded that it should be thus." It looks very much as if the " law of etiquette' , had deprived the Princess of the hearty cheers that would otherwise have greeted her. On Monday the court left for Czarsko Selo, where it will remain until the next ceremony—the annointing of the Princess with the oil of Russo- Greek orthodoxy. GREAT FIRE AT NOTTING HAM. -NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY NIGHT, 10 P.M.—A tremendous fire broke out in the lace establishment of Mr. Charles Hill, at 8 o'clock to-night. The building is completely gutted, and the fire is still raging, fears being entertained for the safety of the adjoining lace warehouses. The damage at present is estimated at 15,000/. . . CAPTAIN JAMES ANDERSON. —The following is a copy of a communication sent by the Mercantile Marine Service Association to Captain Anderson :—" Sir,—l am desired by the council of the Mercantile Marine Service Association to convey to you their most hearty congratu lation,' upon your recent brilliant and euccesaful services in connexion with the laying of the telegraph wires between England and America, thus joining together by unprece dented sagacity, perseverance, and skill the people of old England with their kinsfolk in the United States and in Canada—the inhabitants of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and the ancient governments and special interests that attach to these three quarters of the globe, with the large and daily increasing portion of the great human family populating North and South America—in a word, binding by the me tallic cords of matured science, and, as we also hope, by the less material though more important ties of nature and Christian affection, the Old and the New World, in an ever enduring and indissoluble bond of mutual trust, closer friendship, and increasing esteem. The council have re quested me specially to mention their pride, as members of the mercantile marine serviaz of this country, in witnessing as the happy consummation of your prosperous and me ritorious career the marked and generous proof of her Gracious Majesty's appreciation of your distinguished pub lic services, and of your high personal character as a citizen of this great empire. I am sure that I am fully justified in adding that every individual member of the association is personally gratified by your well deserved and most gra ciously bestowed distinction, and it may well be taken as their united and earnest hope that you may long be spared to enjoy the proud position you have attained ; and, fur thermore, that every blessing may attend you to your life's end. The name of Captain Sir James Anderson must ever be prominent on the roll of British seamen, and will always act as a stimulus to the mercantile marine of England so to discharge their onerous and highly responsible duties as to merit the approval of others and of their own consciences.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND RECTAL OUTRAGE ON A FIWALE.—On Tuesday evening, about 5 o'clock, as a servant girl named Jane Fry, 16 years of age, was pro- I ceeding front Forest Gate to Manor House, on the forest, and had arrived at a very lonely part, having with her a child in a perambulator, a ruffian sprang on her from the bushes by the side of the ditch and demanded her money, at the same time threatening to take her life with • knife if she did not give it up. Before she had time to get away, or make any resistance, he struck her • violent blow on the head with • stick, and then seizing her by the throat dragged her into the ditch, where he rendered her senseless by further blows on the head, and also nearly strangled her. What happened afterwards she is unable exactly to Aide, but it appears that two ladies coming up saw the child in the perambulator, sad en looking round saw the poor girl lying senseless in the ditch. Assist/Mee having been procured, she was taken to • neighbouring house, where restorative* were applied and a surgeon sent for. She was frightfully braised and scratched. The thief took 10a. 6d. in money, a locket, a common keeper ring, a brooch, and her gloves ; her bon net was next inotmog found in the ditch. She has since been in fits, but at her lucid intervals she deeeribes him as being • rather tall thin man, long features, beard shaved close, light hair. rather curly ; dressed in dark cord trousers, black coat, and faal•irmable high-crowned wide awake bat, indented on the top, and on the whole has a German appearanoe.—Cheirsesford C7trestide.

DOVER, THURSDAY NIGHT.—The Star of Ceylon, barque, from London to Ceylon, with general cargo, was run into, off South Foreland, by a Spanish steamer, at 7 p.m. The barque sunk immediately, and the steamer is ashore here. THE REFORM AOITATION.—The committee ap pointed by the National Reform 'Union to make the neces sary arrangements for the forthcoming great reform ban quet to be held in Manchester, met at 12, Newall-buildings, in that city, on Wednesday evening last. It was reported that ow:cis to various circumstances the banquet could not be held on the day first fixed upon and already made pub lic, and that consequently it would be necessary to fix upon another day. After some conversation it was finally arranged that the most convenient day would be the 20th of November next. The price of the tickets will be one guinea each, including wine. A large number of leading gentlemen in the political world have been invited to attend, and from many of these letters have been received (among them 31 from members of parliament) accepting the invitation. The committee express themselves in the meet sanguine manner ea to the success of the gathering, which, they say, will have only been equalled by the old Anti-Corn-Law League banquets. CITWOPENCE LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1866. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MOM OCR OW PARIS TetrasnAT Evaniro. That Englishmen have a right to sell a wife forfive shilling's in Smithfield market is as firmly believed in France as it is (or at least lately was) believed in England that all Frenchmen wear wooden shoes and live principally upon frogs. There is no 'object more ready to the hand of a French journalist when he wants to contrast French civilisation with English barbarism than the custom of wife selling in England. But it would seem from a paragraph in the Moniteur du Caleafjps that civilisation is going backwards in France. That Norman journal states that a peasant who recently sold his wife for five franca has been arrested, as well as the purchaser, and that both are lodged in prison at Caen. I shall watch the progress of this trial. The lawyer who can find in the Code Napoleon any article ap plicable to such a awe will deserve a high prize for his ingenuity. The French law punishes I adultery only at the snit of the husband, and he, by an extraordinary exception of the penal code, enjoys the royal prerogative of pardon even after ; a suit commenced. But how a formality of sale —which is just as null and void in France as in Smithfield—can involve both the husband and the . paramour in a misdemeanour cognisable by law I am at present at a loss to conceive. The new Chaasepot rifles, now being turned out with great rapidity, will cost the French govern. ment exactly double the price of the old weapon 70fr. instead of 35fr. The Evinement says that Baron James de Rothe ' child has within the last few days entirely lost the sight of one eye. It had been ailing for some time, and several of the most eminent oculists in Europe tried in vain to save it.

In my last I gave you an account of the Princess Dagmar's arrival at Peterhoff ; for some days after her Royal Highness remained at Czarako Selo to recruit her strength for the state entry into St. Petersburg, which took place on Saturday, the 26th ultimo. I must begin my description of that wonderful spectacle by the usual notice of the condition of that important element in fetes—the weather. The sun again shone with a warmth and brilliancy fitted for the best days of Midsummer, shedding, in the poetical language of the Journal de St. Peterabourg, "as it were a visible blessing of the Almighty over the arrival of the Princess, who had been called to unite her destiny with that of the heir of a dynasty towards which Russia has sworn a love the most respectful and the most absolute, and which she venerates with such gratitude for the past, her heart meanwhile filled with the most confiding hope." It is really quite true, that if that ca pricious functionary, " the clerk of the weather," had been appealed to by the Emperor of All the Russian in person, ho could not have been more polite, or more determined to show the young flaw& her future home under a more attractive aspect. It was therefore under these most propitious circum stances that the imperial cortege left Czarsko Selo, by rail, at half-past 10, on Saturday, and arrived at the terminus in St. Petersburg about an hour later. Long before that time, however, dense crowds had taken possession of all the foot pave ! ments along the line of the procession. The roofs of the houses were dotted with spectators, male and female, and the windows looked like so many cartes de visite of happy families, young couples, selfish bachelors, and envious maids. As on all similar occasions, the troops, two deep, had enough to do to keep the populace from encroaching on their position, and there were also the identical dogs that attend racecourses and other places of human congregation. The Nevsky—the Regent street of St. Petersburg—has, from its length and width, at all times an imposing appearance, but on . Saturday it wore an almost magical aspect, and afforded a antp-tfceil quite unequalled, especially as the glittering throng rolled on and filled up with the gayest colours the broad avenue which had been reserved for it. First of all, or rather first of any note, came the Circassian body-guard, composed entirely of Caucasian noblemen. This first troop was preceded by two officers attired in rich crim son velvet tunics, the rest of their uniforms being of various bright colours, rendered yet more brilliant by gold embroidery on every available spot. The love of these fine Asiatics for ornaments of precious metal is carried so far that at least one of the body guard had decorated the tail of his horse with a mosaics silver bracelet. The Lesghians, in their shirt& of mail, over scarlet coats with black and silver facings, were however the most attractive feature of this part of the procession. They were followed by a Groom of the Chambers, on horse back, who preceded twelve valets, six runners, and eight negroes, in full livery, walking two and two. After these, the procession was marshalled as follows : THE CHURCH CONGRESS. The Church Congress at York was yesterday Ow some of ocasiderable excitement in the Snit seetios, in wbkh the subject for diameters we the improvement of the process in the eadesias- Ural courts.

At Ilford, on Saturday, police-constable 497, of the K division, formerly of Wanstead, but now stationed at MOM was summoned to contribute to the support of the illegkimate child of Hannah Emmetton, a respectable looking young servant girl. In the course of the hearing of the case several letters from the defendant to the girl were read. One of them concluded with the following lines, which remind the reader of Mr. Thackeray's " Ballads of Pleaceman X;" I have observed your genteel ways, I've seen whet passes their, Anil all my study are to please, Aad you my only care. I do esteem yon far above All others of your sex. Possessed of eve'' , power to please, Without a will to vex.

THE OUTRAGES IN SHEFFIELD. —The attempt to murder • Ble grinder and his family has created • very painful feeling in Sheffield, and the sutler rides have given proper expression to the feiturs of indignation which the odious crime has in spir ed. The mayor addressed the council on the subject on ed nesday, and suggested • subscription for the family of Fearneyhcrugh ; and at the police-court, yesterday, a man named Ftateliffe, charged with an lumen upon his employer, was refused bail on account of the prevail ing alarm. It transpired that there had been • combina tion among* the workmen in the employment of Mr. Shaw, • wrreworker, to prevent • man named Shields from working ; and on Tuesday, they resorted to open violence, seriously ansatlted Mr. Shaw's groom, the prisoner sta:king him over the eye with • bludgeon ; and they used the foulest threats to Mr. Shaw, and intimated that he could be " ;polished off." A remand was granted in order that the whole of the gang might be apprehended. Mr. A. Smith, the clerk, in stating that the bench refused bail, said, "I! the bench were to ball you after these threats, and time were to be toes of life or ty, what would the pubrio say ? On an ordinary I would have advised the =mitigates to grant bail, but after the late hos_arle event they world be afraid to do so. If the working men of Sheffield see that the magistrates act se verely, as though we was going to have martial law established ben—for it really comes to that—they musk blame themselves and not the bench."
