A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, CONTAINING The Latest Foreign Telegrams; the Latest City ; Railway, Mining, and other Shares ; Sporting, and General Intelligence, 19 PUBI.I•HED EVERY EVENING. LONDON, THUR.S . DAY, MA Y 14. THE LoNinty virv:sirr. Toe ceremony of admitting to degrees in the University of London is becoming as much an in stitution us Commemoration at Oxford. It is less riotous and exciting ; great men are not exhibited to be applauded or hissed as the fancy of a mob of undergraduates prompts them ; there is no Latin speech, nor Public Orator, nor painful verse, nor dull prose. In short, there is neither tumult nor pedantry. The London University has no Saturnalia. Instead of this, the graduates are presented to the CHA Net: wat of the University in a simple and busincss-like fashion, and receive from hiLi the diplomas of their several degrees. Their friends, of both sexes, and the friends of the University assemble in force, and the CHANCELLOR improves the occasion by an address on University matters generally, and on the affairs of the London University in particular. The long list of the names of the gentlemen who were presented to Lord GRANVILLE on Wednesday, of the colleges from which they came, and of the degrees and honours which they have acquired in subjects some of them hitherto ignored by older schools of learning, is a signal testimony to the flourishing condition of the London University. Strange to say, it has scarcely impressed the fact of its existence upon the out side world. Such allusions as arc popularly made to it are usually examples of mistaken identity. It is commonly confounded with University College, iu (fower-street. That institution is as little like the University of London as Trinity College, Cambridge, is the University of Cambridge, or Christ Church, Oxford the University of Oxford. It was, in deed, iiirersitatis, the mother of the University, but is now, by an inversion of this parental relation, simply one of its affiliated insti tutions. Perhaps it is not wonderfnl that an institution which has hitherto been without local habitation should have had difficulty in establishing its title to its own name. Since its commencement the London University has lived in lodgings, and it has not had the benefit even of a lodger franchise. It had apartments first in Somerset House, Strand, and afterwards in Burlington House, Piccadilly. It is about, however, to become a householder, and will presently enter upon a building of its own. When this outward and visible sign of its existence is presented to the eye, it will, doubtless, emerge from the obscurity in which, however, it has flourished. The list of the colleges which have furnished graduates to the University of London is nume rous and varied. Secular and denominational in stitutions, places of separate and places of mixed education are affiliated to it. Unsectarian colleges, and the colleges of every church and sect, Roman Catholic and Anglican, Wesleyan, Baptist, Pres byterian, Independent, and Unitarian send up their pupils to contend in honourable rivalry ; and men who have had no other place of education than their own study, and no ether tutees thin their own books, join not viesneeessfully. in tits competition. The value of the degrees eiln. by the University of London, and of the training which preparation for them afforls, is shown by the fad that men who have carded off the highest honours of the older Universities do not disdain to offertheraselves forthoee of the younger and obscurer , corporation. The circumstance that so many sectarian institutions are affiliated to the University and send up graduates to it, is sometimes ap pealed to as proof that the people of England, Dissenters not less than Roman Catholics and Churchn en, c'ing to the system of denominational education, and reject the principle of union. The argument is -maenad. At Oxford and Cambridge, Nonconformists have refused to endow separate halls for the members of• their several sects, and their disinclination to the proposal to assign them some of the existing colleges for their education apart has been otherwise :dearly manifested. The Dissenting academics which are affiliated to the University of London were forced into existence generations ago by the exclusion of Nonconformistsfromtheolder Universities. it was necessary, therefore, to erect theological institutions for the education of their ministers. The laymen among Dissenters, to whose means and plan of life a University education was suitable, were few and scattered. Such of them as there were drifted into the colleges of their several denominations. There were no other places for them. When, how ever, wealth and the desire of cultivation grew among Nonconformists, University College was founded. Similar institutions, such as OWENS College, in Manchester, sprang ; and these collect the great mass of the middle classes of all churches who for any reason cannot avail them selves of the advantages offered by Oxford and Cambridge. University College and the Univer sity of London found denominational education in exclusive possession of the field of higher educa t out. It exists now, in its full force, only in a few obscure academies. The principle of united education on e.inal terms has penetrated into Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, and the Scotch Universities. It has estab li,lo d the Qt . EEN'S Colleges in Ireland. Its vic tory is net et absolutely complete even where the principle is conceded, but the cause is virtually won. In other respects. the London University , has led, instead of simply following the age. It has enlarged the range of studies embraced in the three faculties of Arts, Law, and Medicine, be yond the routine which formerly prevailed. The encouragement which it gave from the first to the study of modern languages, the physical sciences, the applied arts, and mural and political philosophy, made it the pioneer of what may be called the new learning, While it did nut neglect the old. It has gone beyond this. It has created new faculties, and gives the hitherto unprecedented degrees of Bachelor and Doctor of Science, Bachelor and Doctor of Literate' e, and Master of Surgery, in addition to the ordinary titles of academic distinction. It thus encourages and rewards the specialisation, so to speak, of studies hitherto united, and still by it united in their earlier stages, in the ordinary faculties of arts and medicine. Beyond this, to the great disgust of those who hold that the mission of women is to " suckle fools " and chronicle small beer," it has instituted exami nations for women. That the f acul t ies of women what ever they may be, ought to be cultivated to their utmost, and that the cultivation must make them more instead of less truly feminine, is a Pro Position which only the silliest and least cul tivated women are now found to deny in words, while they prove it in fact. The mind cannot be kept a vacuum. In the absence of just and clear ideas it will be filled with narrow and paltry prejudices. A frivolous and ill-informed woman will make a frivolous or serdid-minded man. The chroniclers of small beer are sure to suckle fools. In this movement, too, the London University has been a pioneer. These claims and services, and some others which were recounted by Lord GRANVILLE in his sensible and lively speech, entitle the University to public consideration, and to the direct representation in Parliament which the Reform Act of 1867 assures it. Indirectly it is represented there already in the persons of some of its graduates. The names of Mr. STANSFELD, Mr. GRANT-DUFF, Major O'REILLY, Sir DOLMAN O'DO4:LILEN, Mr. WINTERHOTRAM, and Mr. JULIAN GoLnsmin— Churchman and Nonconformist, Christian and Jew—typify its catholic character. Who its special representative will be, we will not any More than Lord GRANVILLE, prejudge. His lord ship spoke with impartial compliments happily varied, of the merits of Mr. LOWE, Mr. BAuEHOT, and Sir .lout/ DUBBOrK. In any one of them, the University would find a faithful and a distinguished representative. THE ENGLISH CHANNEL .I XD THE ENGINEERS. OCR Paris correspondent told a story yesterday in which the EMPEROR, the Plum% IMPERIAL, and M. Bourn., the Engineer, figured. The latter proposes to build a railway bridge between Dover and Calais, and on spreading his plan on the floor before the Emecaoa the Young Prince took a run and jumped it ; whereupon M. Borrres in troducer to Court, General Rive, remarked, " Mon " seigneur, you are the first person who Inn; passed " over the Channel bridge." Further, the EMPE ROR, after smiling approval at the jest, pronounced the scheme to be far more practicable than any he had yet seen, asked for reports and estimates, and promised his support. The proposal is far from new. Sir CCSACE RONEY tells us of a variety of projects for connecting France with England by some more stable link than the change ful, fickle sea. Mr. JAMES CHALMERS, Mr. B. Httmax, and a French gentleman bearing the suggestive name THOMAS DE GAMMON, each propose to lay iron tubes on the bed of the ocean through which a railway is to run. But the last named gentleman's genius has a bolder flight than his British competitors. He proposes, with great calmness, and at a cost of £7,200,000, to construct, besides the tubular sub-way, a half-way halting house between the two shores. This is to consist of a harbour and three ships' basins in mid- Channel, so that " anyone returning in a hurry " from a long voyage and wishing to get either to " London or Paris, or to ally other place in Eng " land or the Continent, may land and at once pro ceed to the terra firma portion of his journey." A huge shaft 330 feet in diameter would serve the double purpose of ventilating the tunnel, and of providing means of ingress and egress between the Islet de Varna (for M. ns GAMMON has even christened his castle in the air) and the upper and outer world. The advocates of tubes form, however, a mere section of the pro jectors on this subject. One of the late presi dents of the Association of Civil Engineers—Mr. Hawiszaw—has satisfied himself that the bottom of the English Channel has too many and too :E EXPRESS, THURSDA' deep "faults " foe tunnilingt and !r. T. B. Dm, cant!' fore's* lad year w it great ferry inflame between Disepe sod Newhaven, with floating harbours and 2,490 bos►power, so that the trains would be received body on this decks of the ferry-boats without disintbing passengers Or luggage. Mr. a ROILOB considers he escapes Mr. 11.(wramter's objections by making the English starting point from Dunge ness instead of Dover. A tunnel from 90 to 130 feet below tho bed of the Channel, three main shafts a hundred feet in diameter, carried to a great height so as to act as lighthouses ; an expen diture of seven millions—and Mr. RIMINGTON pro mikes us a practicable and safe tunnel in five and a half years. But all these projects sink into the shade by the side of the scheme for running a rail way tunnel below the Atlantic. In jest or earnest this proposition is out, and the Scientific American has published full details down to lighting the cars with magnesium and electric lights. One hundred thousand men are to be employed continuously for! thirty years ; and a capital of two billions five! hundred millions dollars is required ; after which trains are to run between Newfoundland and Valentia, c;(1 telegraph route, in five days. I Whatever may be the result of the ESIPEROIt'S deliberations on M. Hours-es scheme, we have enough to convince us that, if France and Eng land are not united materially, it is not for lack of daring in our engineers. As there are tunnels, or drainage galleries, six and a half miles long, and 900 feet below the surface, in the Hartz mountains, we may live to see a tunnel, tube, or bridge across the Channel. With the progress of the age before our eyes, we decline to express a doubt, or hazard a conviction. We sincerely trust that such patriotic shareholders as embark their money in any of those undertakings may receive the reward they deserve, and that the labours of the Aronautical Society may not rob them of their dividends. It is clear—with so many clever people eager to circumvent the im pertinent strip of water called the English Channel, that its life as an obstructive is in imminent danger. As to the mode, or time, or manner of its death, or of its conqueror—or s hether the one or the other will ever happen—let us say with the Spaniard, Quid-a ezbe f—Who knows ? THE possibility of a compromise on the subject of the Boundary Bill has been talked of to-day. Mr. GLAnsToNE, it is atid, will ask the Govern ment this evening what course they intend to take, slid will suggest the propriety of referring to a select committee the duty of determining what boundaries affecting old boroughs may be with drawn from the bill. There are nearly twenty places, including some of the most important in England, which may properly be left untouched. If the Government refuse to adopt this sugges tion, the hon. member for Oldham will persevere with his motion to leave out the fourth clause. In the event of Mr. Hi BBERT'S success, Mr. STANSFELD will move an important clause, viz : " The boun " duties of the old boroughs which lie within the " municipal boundaries of such boroughs shall be "extended so as to be coterminous therewith, as "in the ( ) Schedule to this act annexed is men " dolled ; and such boroughs shall, for all "purposes relating to the election of a "member or members to servo in Parha " merit, be comprised in the boundaries which "in such schedule are respectively 'peel " tied in conjunction with the names of such " boroughs." Mr. AYTOVN proposes to leave out from the first schedule all boroughs or dis tricts of boroughs in which the population ex ceeds forty thousand for each member which that borough returns. Mr. Dixon moves to omit Birmingham ; Mr. RErroN, Warwick ; Mr. SCHREIBER, Cheltenham ; Mr. BAZLEY, Man chester ; Sir H. WiLtissisos, Gateshead and South Shields ; Mr. STONE, Portsmouth ; and so on ; while Mr. BASS puts nineteen boroughs, in clusive of the foregoing, into one amendment, and moves their omission in a body. TUE Irish Church Commission are believed to re commend that the bishops be reduced to three, and the archbishops to one; and that a Suspensory Bill be forthwith passed. If this be true, and the Government adopt the recommen dations for which they have been waiting so long, there will be an end, we hope, of the accusations of spoliation which have been so freely brought against the Liberal party. Mr. GLAPSTONE . B Suspensory Bill ought to pass the Lords unopposed. IN the House of Commons to-morrow, Mr. HAY-. TER Will ask the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, "whether it is " true that the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE of the COM " MOll Pleas has appointed his son, Mr. WILLIAM " BOVILL, last year a Lieutenant in the 16th Lan " cers, to be Clerk of Assize on the Western Cir " cult, with a salary of 1,0001. a year ; and, if it " be true, whether there is any precedent to jus " tify his appointment to such office." And, " whether any or what legal qualifications are re " gulled as necessary for holding such appoint " went." BRISTOL ELECTION. —A petition has been pre sented to parliament &pipet the return of Mr. Miles for the city of Bristol. The petitioners allege that Mr. Miles, "by himself, his a cots, managers, and friends," gave va rious sums of money, and promised employment to certain persons to induce them to vote or abstain from voting, sad that to tut ther Lis own interests at the election he, or his agents, entertained certain of the electors, and paid money for their conveyance to the polL Bribery and intimidation are also imputed.

Jules de Precy, writes as follows, under date of May 9 : To-day the Prince of Prussia visited the arsenal of Spezzda, where the Minister of Marine was in waiting to do the honours. On his way the Prince stopped at MA'AM- Camara to review the National Guard. The municipality nudes him a present of a statuette n marble. To-morrow the prince is to visit the works of Mount Cenis, and he will be accompanied by the Minister of Public Works. Now th►t the heir presumptive to the Prussian throne is no longer in Florence, the question may be asked, what could have induced the Italian government so seriously to affront Austria as to invite the Archduke Victor and the Prince Royalof Saxony, both near relations of Prince Humbert and Princess Margaret, to witness the triumph of the conqueror of Sadowa at Turin ? The Prince of Prussia is connected by no ties of blood with the dynasty of Savoy, and might very well Lave chosen another moment to pay a visit to Italy. But this, it seems, would not have answered the purpose of N. de Bismarck, who so managed that the acceptance of the invitation of the Prince of Prussia made the Archduke Victor and the Prince of fiaxooy stay away. As to the Plince of Prussia, his mission was to provoke a series of nianifeatations which had a palpably anti-French character. He fulfilled this mission with much tact ; he multiplied hiniatlf with wonderful energy and danced with Italian ladies of all degrees without number ; he made a point of encouraging the officers of LiB staff to fratcr - ni•e with the Italian officers ; he went into ecatacies about the artillery he saw at Turin ; and as to the fo rsag- For,, be expressed a wish that Prussia had ten battalions like Grum To political men he paid the utmost possible attention, letting them talk as long as they like and listen ing to theta, which is the greatest compliment you can Pay to Italians, who complain that their own countrymen have not patience to hear. The Prince, without pronouncing the word Rome, insinuated that Prussia, having no engagements withthe papacy, could wore easily than any other power solve the Roman question in a manner satisfactory to Italy. In a word M. de Biamarck wanted an anti-I:leech demonstration in Italy, and his charge d'affaiits, the Prince of Prussia, Las made one for him. (REITER'S TELEGRAMS.)

The Cape Copper Mine is in creasing in value. The Tasmanian, which has just reached home with the Wed India mail, made the passage from St. Thomas in It days 16 hours, which is one of the quickest passages on record. Occasional slight shocks of earth quakes are still felt nt St. Thomas. The Danidi flag was still flying on that island. When the Atlantic steamer goes on to Colon she will, it is expected, call at Jamaica every alternate fortnight, the urns as the intercolonial steamer now doer. Colon is an unhealthy place on account of the swamps, but disease there takes the form of ague, while at St. Thomas it takes the form of yellow fever. 1 - --- -- -- ----- -- --- I LIVERPOOL, MAY 14.—The Inman steamer City of Boston, which left New York on the 9th inst. for this port, hrinp 775,000 dole. in specie.
