The Bishop of Oxford held his triennial visita tion yesterday morning in the cathedral at Oxford. The attendance of the clergy was very large. After • short service and the ceremony of calling over the names had been gone through, His lordship, seated in the episcopal chair, commenced the reading of his charge, which occupied upwards of three hours in the delivery. Having spoken in grati fying terms of the state of his diocese, and referred to some minor matters, his lordship said there were two important matters which seemed to him to demand notice. The development of ritual in public worship income of our churches, and the attempts which were being made to restore the unity of Christendom. He classed these two together because they both sprung frorn!the same source. If he were asked what practical steps the present crisis required he would say, first, that the remedy could not be found in legislation on the part of convucation and parliament. Such legislation would be premature, and therefore dangerous. Legislation, if a ttempted atall, must of course address itself to a parti cular rubric. If it simply repealed the enactment it would by the very act of such repeal stir up many sleeping embers into a wide-spread blaze, for it was an enactment which connected the ceremonies of the church with the ceremonials of Christian antiquity. But besides that consideration, he would ask were the times prepared for convocation and the parliament to enact by canon and statute a new table of rules for all the ornaments and ceremonials of the church' Every one must deprecate a step so certain to be productive of evil in its discussion, and so likely to end in violenoe and schism. A new, sharply defined, statutable rule, would indeed make havoc with the church's liberty on every side. Legal and legislative measures, then, must be set aside. Bas counsel was that in every instance the parties inclined to make alterations should lay their case before their bishop, and act absolutely on his directions. He, no doubt, would consider well the special circumstances of each church, the di ffi culties of siodoning that to which the congregation had become attached, and he would ender: your to meet the di ffi culties by a just and comprehen sive settlement of the questions entrusted to him. In u r ging this counsel be spoke with the more confidence be cause before the pawing of the Act of Uniform ed e was no question that the bishop of each dioces e the = of each diocese. Peace, he believed, was would still if his his advice ware followed, and the clew take this godly conversation with their bishop. Every care ought to be taken that r itual was not oonisary to law — that it did not visibly tend to promote false doctrine or corrupt practice—that it was not condemned by the living authority of the church — and that it ou g ht to be the ex pression in outward things of the advanoas of the church's inward life.

Meaney, who was arrested in Lon don, was charged before the magistrates to-day with being a member of the Fenian association. He was remanded until Wednesday. He protested strongly against his imprisonment on the evidence of policemen who merely suspected him. A meeting of the county Cork magistrates was held this day in the Court-house, under the presi dency of Lord Fermoy, to take steps in the present emergency to preserve the peace of the country. Two hundred and forty magistrates were present. It was decided to present a memorial to the go vernment praying them to swear in special con stables throughout the country during the present crisis. Lord Fermoy strongly urged the gentlemen present to give all the aid in their power to the government in the present circumstances of the country. PoLvrEcliNsc INszucrioN.—The afternoon en tertainment at the above institution was varied yesterday by the introduction of a startling novelty, which we under stand is now quite the rage in Paris. It is called the "Decapitated Head," and the illusion consists in snaking a head which has just been separated from the body answer certain questions in a very sepulchral and supernatural manner. Great pains have been taken to make the illu sion as effective as possible. The stage is converted into the dimly lighted cellar of the executioner, who himself keeps guard on one side with his terrible two-handed sword. On a table at the back lies the head, apparently just as it had been cut off, and in front a seer asks it questions. The head turns slowly, the eyes open, and the lips begin to move. In another minute the seer gets the desired response, and the head falls back inanimate and deathlike as before. The illusion is exceedingly well managed, and was at its first representation yesterday enthusiastically received by a numerous and fashionable audience. ROYAL INSTITUTION OP GREAT BRITAIN.—At the general monthly meeting yesterday—Mr. William Pole, F.R.S., in the chair—Messrs. John Augustus Seymour Morse Davies, Thomas Dell, F.R.A.S., Frederick Thomas Elworthy, Robert Pilkington Linton, Alfred Sandilands, and Mrs. Ellen Hawkins were elected mem bers of the Royal Institution. The presents received since the lost meeting were laid on the table, and the thanks of the members returned for the same. HAILEYBCRY COLLEGE, HERTFORD.—The Hon . rishing condition of this college, under the able presidency of the Rev. H. K. Butler, assisted by a competent staff, may be inferred from the difficulty there is in obtaining vacancies. Professor Pepper, F.R.S., concluded his course of lectures on Saturday evening last, selecting for his subject, " The Munitions of War and Explosive Com pounds," and illustrated with very interesting experi ments. The Profeeors arranged and exhibited three explosions on a very grand scale. No. 1. Large mine under the earth containing 201bs. of mining gunpowder, with Abel's fuzes attached ; this was perfectly MC ceasful, shaking the earth like a miniature earthquake. No. 2. A large door, twelve feet high, eight feet lowed, and two inches in thickness, supported by poets five inches square, was blown to atoms with sandbags and 14th.. of gunpowder. No. 3. Charge of nine pounds of gun cotton ; this was sunk under the water, in a pond, at the distance of 110 yards from the college. It exploded with tremendous effec t, and as the water in the pond was not very deep the concussion in the air was so great that twenty-five windows were broken in the chapel of the college, with which exception no casualty occurred, owing to the judicious arrangements made by the lecturer. The young collegians were delighted with the experiments, and perhaps no one succeeds better in making the sciences palatable to the uninitiated than this popularlecturer. The mines were fired by a vulcanite machine, made by Elliot, of the Strand, and one supplied by an eminent German en veer, Mr. A. Begg, who attended in person. THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S VISITATION.—The Bishop of London's quadrennial visitation at St. Paul's Cathedral was brought to a close yesterday, Archdeacon Hale receiving the clergy of the east and west city, Spital fields, Stepney, and St. Sepulchre's. There were present the Rev. Prebendary Rogers, M.A. rector of Bishopsgate; the Rev. Gillen Champneye, the Rev. James Jackson, and a large number of other clergym en. The churchwardens of Bwhopsgate made a presentment, appended to which was the following resolution, adopted in vestry That this vestry requests the churchwardens on making their presentment to the Bishop of London at the forthcoming visitation to convey to his lordship the expression of their feelings that the use of the creed called Atbanasius is an offence to a considerable number of the members of the church of England, and tends to keep from the pale of her communion many who would gladly unite on her other wise catholic basis." The other presentments had refe rence simply to business matters connected with parochial affairs. We understand that his Excellency Mr. Edward John Eyre, late governor of this island, is engage d in writing a "History of the Jamaica Insurrection," and that a list has been opened at the establishment of Messrs.

Premchum Royghum has been permitted, on an application from his trus t tees to the High Court, to resume business as a I merchant and broker. Business has been resumed after the Denallee holidays, but the markets are quiet, and there is • but little doing. The weather is cool, and the public health satisfactory.

Among the latest was the punt Argo, William Smith owner, which was runnin g in for Folkestone at about a quarter to four, when she broached to, and the next sea sank her. The disaster was witnessed from the shore ; and the drowning cries were heard in another small boat near, but that boat was to leeward, and the men in her had as much as they could do to hold their own : they went back however over the spot, and saw some of the boat's gear floating, but the men were gone. The Argo was a new boat, only 17i feet long ; and the men who went down in her were William Smith, owner, forty-eight years of age, unmarried; William Pbilpott, thirty-two; and William Hall twen ty-eight. The latter leaves a wife and child. The bodies are expected soon to wash into Esatwear Bay. S A~ 18,06 9,764 KW 6,167
