PO THE EIPPOR OP THE =POMO. SlR,—The following facts may not be without their significance in conoexiou with the Oxford " Church Congress one of the objects of which is the establishing " School 'Chapels." I have a school of between sixty and seventy boys, in • suburb of London notoriously deficient in church accommo dation. Having built • large room capable of oontainiag 500 or 600 persons, and being myself a clergyman of the church of England, I applied to the Lord Bishop of Loudon to lionise my room as o "school chapel," so that I might preface • Sunday evening lecture to my boys with a abort service. His lordship at once consented in the most liberal manner, but referred me to the incumbent of the district wherein my echoed is situated, "so that the change may not be made without his knowledge sod coucurreece, I applied to my spiritual pastor and master, who (although the bishop's license strictly limited the nee of the chapel to my boys and their friends, excluding the general I public) peremptorily refused on the ground that it wee more healthful for boys to attend their perish church with their parent'. Now apart from the fact that some of my boys would have to go as far as India to do this, I do feel that schoolboys require a shorter and perhaps • more special service than thej would meet with cert a i n ly i n thi s "parish church, where the teaching is of • strongly doc trinal character._ _ I remember what Dr. Arnold did 111 his school chapel, and whilst cheerfully accepting every "doctrine" of the church of England, 1 cannot but think then is something defective in the " discipline" which enables a jealous in cumbent thus to act the part of the dog in the manger, over ruling the coovent of his bishop, and renderiog it illegal for a clerical brother to preface either his daily labours or Sunday lecture with prayer and praise to God. I refrain from subscribing my Dame, lest I seem to be ad vertising my school, but inclose it for publication V after nary, —I am, Im., A CLERICALOCHOOLVASTER.

(From Um Nen York Timm) We published on Thursday last a letter to the London Times, from Z. C. AMMO, the owner of the British steamer Cirousiau, recently captured by the Somerset, and sent in as a prise. In this letter Mr. Pear son, having noticed the report that the Circassian was bound to one of the blockaded ports, take. occasion "to say most distinctly that such • statement is essentially and entirely false." Only two days after the arrival of Mr. Pearson's letter here, Judge Mervin's decision in reference to the Circassian arrived from Key West, and that opinion shows that the vessel was sailing under an agreement, signed by Puma himself, himself, that the reseal should go to Havannah, Nassau, or Bertunds, and thence go to a port of America, "and to run the blockade if so ordered by the freighters," and that the freighter had agreed that the goods should "not be disem barked but at the port of New Orleans, and to this affect he engages to run the blockade." Mr. Pearson probably thought the assertion was • safe one, having noticed the announcement that the muter of the Circassian had burped • package of letters before the prize crew took possession of her, and thinking that the evidence of the truth would not be forthcoming. The master did barn such • package —an act which, of itself, was enough to canoe the condemnation of the vessel ; but there was another package on board which he failed to burn, and which contained in it abundant evidence to warrant the condemnation of the steamer and her cargo as lawful prize. If Mr. Pearson desires to try again to run the blockade, he has now more experience than be had before ; and if that experience does not lead him not to make positive denials in the public prints until the evidence in theme is all offered, he will show himself a person not fit to be entrusted with goods or smash hereafter. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT AT MANCHESTER.— Yesterday morning his Highness and suite, attended a meeting of the corporation, at the Town.hall, where ad dresses were presented to him from the mayor, aldermen, and citizens, the directors of the Manchester chamber of Commerce, and the Cotton Supply Aesociatioo. His High ness replied in French, and maid that /ADP his arrival in England be had received a welcome so cordial that be was at • loss for expressioes of acknowledgment. He was happy to rind that his efforts on behalf of his own people had been appreciated in England. He bad done his utmost to facili tate commercial communication through Egypt. With respect to cotton, the season was about over, but next year he felt confidence in promising, if not double the amount of the last crop, at least an increase of one-half. The Viceroy, his suits, and the company then proceeded to the mayor's parlour, where lunch was provided. _ . GMTERAL SYNOD OF THE SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL CHURCH.—On Tuesday • general synod of the Episcopal Church in Scotland opened its sittings in Edinburgh. It is now nearly a quarter of a century since the last general synod was held—namely, on the 29th of August, and con tinued by adjournment till the 6th of September, 1838. L Edinburgh Courant. GoVERNMENT EMBALMERB.—OD my way to plantation from the camp I saw before me some tents sur rounded with curious things—a sign -board on which was written with large letters, • Drs. Brown and Alexander, government embalmers." They are not to embalm the government, however, but only those who require it by the care of the government. My Irish gentleman friend was acquainted with the doctor— I do not know whether Brown or Alexander, but we found him sitting on a mat in his drawers and shirt, with • large diamond pin in the latter rather muddy. coloured garment. " Take a drink ?" Of course. Old Bourbon whisky and large tumblers. That once over, I be gan asking questions. The doctors were doing a large busi ness; there behind were four corpus. "See them r Of course, poor fellows ; none of them shot, all died by fever. The doctors told me their principal ingredient for embalming was a kind of liquid glass and gypsum, which hardened to • substance like stone. In this state the body would keep for many years, per haps for ever. The bodies looked well preserved although not very agreeable. The doctors took for embalming • private 25 dollars, and for an of 50 dollars. I wan told that since the commencement of this war above 2.000 bodies of soldiers had bees embalmed and sent home. This was done by Adams's Express, in deal boxes, lined with sheet zinc. The poor fellow I saw nailed up wore his uniform, and his writing-case and portfolio were laid beside him. With this, aod • bundle of 'hay under his head and the address on the oover el the box, he was sent horns to his mourning psrents.—Letter /roe: a Pokes/ Camp. A YOUTH COMIIITIING SUICIDE THOM THE TOOTH ACHE.—On Monday last an inquest was held before R. Slag den, Esq., at Monk's-common, Bathurst, touching the , death of a young man, 18 years of age, named William Damage. Edward Dinnage deposed—l am • broom-maker, and live at Manninis-heath. The deceased, William No nage, was the son of my brother, Jordan Dinnage, of Monk's Common, and was 18 years of age. On Satur day last I was at work in my brother's shop with the de ceased. I saw nothing strange about him, but during the day beard him complain very much of the toothache s and he did but little work. He has suffered very severely with toothache during the last four or five months. I have known him sit sad cry for hours together with it, and more frequently during the last month. He suffered wonderfully with it. I left the workshop on Saturday about one o'clock, when I called to the deceased, who was at the time gathering currants in the garden, and I told him I would leave him to lock the shop up, and he said " All right, uncle." I them left. Edmund Chart, labourer Monk's Gate, said that on Saturday last, about half-past ten, p.m., be went with deceased's father to the broom shop where deceased had been working, and found it fastened in the usual way, and they broke the door opm. They found deceased hanging by a line to a beam. His feet and knees were upon the grouad. He (witness) cot him down. He was quite dead and stiff. He should think the deceased I must have stood upon the ground when he hanged himself. The coroner, in summing-up, called the attention of the jury to the evidence of the uncle of the deceased.

The ether again frowned on the Exhibition yesterday, and raised many apprehensions for the success of the ceremonial of to-morrow. The gene- - ?al opinion is, that if the weather be fine, the spec tacle will be very imposing, but that if it rain in the usual Exhibition style, it will require all the sithusiaem not only of the successful exhibitors, but of the public, to enable them to enjoy it. The arcades of the Horticultural Gardens provide, it is true, a shelter, but the effect will be entirely let if the principal dramatis persona be excluded Ifrom the open. Two of the French bands which an, to " waist" have already arrived, and will give Qv Exhibition visitors a specimen of their musi c► abilities to-day. The " Gendarmerie de I L Garde" will play under the Eastern dome, l airi the " Zouaves de la Garde" under the Western, idseretry dividing the crowd and preventing too great I aouigestion of visitors in one spot. There is no desist that the effect will be fine, provided the commissioners so arrange the respective orchestras as Prat the musicians shall have room to ply their instruments, as at present any unhappy performer who essays to amuse the company is generally half smothered by the crowd pressing round him up to the very keys of his instrument. The King of 11Perumbeeg bee appointed Alines Fianna n of Saxe Weimar Eisenach as representative of the kingdom on Friday, and has empowered him to receive the awards for the Wurtemberg exhibitors. Yesterday a melancholy addition—melancholy both for its own terrible associations, and from the fact of its having been sent to the Exhibition by Lord Canning a few days before his death—was placed in the English architectural gallery. This is a model of the monument which is being erected by the government of India over the fatal well at Cawepore. The monument is designed by Colonel Yule, of the Bengal Engineers, and is belie( executed under the superintendence of Mr. C. B. Thornhill, of the Bengal Civil Service. The ori ginal is in Chunar sandstone, and the gate giving entrance to the well within is of gun metaL The late Lord Canning gave a piece of sculp ture to be placed over the well, which is still in the hands of Baron Marochetti. When all is finished the entire monument will be surrounded by an ornamental garden watered from the Ganges Canal. The present model is beautifully finished in Agra soapstone. It was made by native stone cutters at Allababad, and is on the scale of half an-inch to the foot. Over the door giving entrance to the well is the inscription, "These be they which came out of great tribulation," while round the rim of the well itself (which, of course, is closed and built over) is carved the following inscription : Sacred to the perpetual memory of a great company of Christian people, cbiedy women and children, who Dear this spot were cruelly massacred by the followers of the rebel Nano llhoondopunt of Bithoor, and cast, the dying with the dead, into the well below, on the 15th day ot July, 1857. Among the distinguished visitors yesterday were Prince Alfred, Princess Mary of Cambridge, the the Earl of Macclesfield, the Marquis de Fontanelle, and Lord Walsingham. The 10s. tickets are, we learn, going off with great rapidity. The highest temperature of the day by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers were as follows : —in the nave, 64.6; in the galleries, 65.5. The observation was taken at three o'clock p.m. The following is the official return of the number of visitors yesterday:—By season tickets, 6,239 ; by payment, 47,179 ; total, 53,418.

The morning was dark, cold, and showery, while late in the day, when the rain kept off for an hour or two, there was no warmth or sunlight, the sky being leaden and gloomy in the extreme, and the air almost as chilly as in February. This of counts affected the attendance at the gardens, especially in the early part of the day. lieverthelesa, the gardens gradually filled and became towards 5 o'clock as crowded, though from the marked absence of light and summer dresses, not quite as brilliant as usual. The great attractions of the show were a splendid display of cut roses, and a magnificent collection of fruit. Amongst the latter the show of grapes and pine apples and peaches was remarkably fine, and excited universal admira tion. CONVERSAZIONE OF THE SOCIETY OP ARTS. Yesterday evening the Society of Arts held a grand convereutene at the South Kensington Museum. Between four and five thousand persons responded to the invitations of the council, the assembly including a considerable number of the aristocracy and many persons of distinction in the arta and sciences. kmong those observed were the Duke sad Duchess of Somerset, the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Lietuore,. Sir H. RAWIiOIIOO, Sir A. G. Cumming, Mr. E. Baines, M.P., Mr. Aloock, M.P., Mr. J. Dillon. tic. The arrivals commenced at 8 o'clock, sod by 10 the principal rooms, studded with objects of artistic merit and world.wide interest, ware thronged with promenaders, who, in some of the more attractive parts of the museum, premed . rather ioconveoiently upon each other. The inspection of the vast and varied collection was full of zest, and it was evident that for 'easy the wonders of this western emporium were invested with the charm of novelty. Even in close proximity to the Inter national Exhibition they did not appear in any degree to pale. The interest of the occasion was enhanced by a double musical performance ; one by the National Choral Society, represented in this instance by three hundred voices, under the able direction of Mr. G. W. Martin ; the other by Distin's Veatil Horn Union. Both were very effective, and the glees and part soap were heard with marked advantage in the spacious ball selected for their execution. Refreshments in abundance were served in the picture galleries, where the pliability of crinoline was sub jeoted to a severe ordeal. THE BALLor SocrsrY.—The woad} , meeting of the executive committee was held at the Mikes. in Guild hall-chambers, oa Tuesday ; Mr. M. E. Marsden in the chair. A report as to the divisioe on the second reading of the Ballot Bill was laid before the cementite, from which it appeared that the following was the exact state of the vote of the House of Commons on the 2nd July :—dyes : Present, 126 ; pairs, 51 ; Mikes, 2: total, 1 7 9 .

Lord Bury headed the English eight, and Captain Roes the Scottish ; the former being distinguished by the red mom d Bt. George on the right arts, and the letter by the hies mese of St. Andrew.

Lord Bury led the way with a splendid score on the English side, but war excelled by Captain Roes, who at 800 yards weed 52, out of 1.0 possible, points and bits included; and the English shooting was good from fast to last at this range, the Scotch being rather unfortunate, Mr. Ferguson more particularly, who, after carrying cd the St. George's Vass from nearly 100 competitors, only struck the 800 yards target twice out of 15 shots. At the conclusion of the first stage of the firing the English eight had beat their nortbernopponenta by about 50, and increased that majority by 30 at tite 900 yards range. • • la the course of the firing at the second rasp an objec tion was taken by Ceptain Loss, which, if stemmed, might bare deprived the English of their superiority. By rule 9 it is directed that • miss shall be shown by a flag held on one side or the otber, high or low, so as to indicate the di rection a whioh th e shot went.

The decision of Hay was that since Latour, the Scotch um pire at the &aids target, Ocala Latour , no protest when the practice was adopted, the objection tame too late from Captain Ross, and could not be sustained. Lord Elcbo entirely concurred with General Hay, sad the shooting pro ceeded, with the ariderstanding that either practice might be adopted, but that it must be the same at both targets. At the 1,000 yards range fortune declared herself still more decisively against the Scottish Lion, for so far as tbe shooting had proceeded when the gun-firs pot an sod to the pro ceedings of the day, the English eight had increased their majority, so that Captain Ross admitted, with the utmost possible good-humour, that he and his party had got "a jolly good licking," w hich was strictly tine.

GENERAL LYRE ON SOLDIERS' INSTITUTES. The subjoined address was made to the troops present at the opening of the new Soldiers' Institute at Chatham, • few days ago, by General Eyre. " Soldiers—Some of your friends here around me, who take great interest in your new club, have preened me to come here this evening to welcome you to it, which I now do very heartily, and much I wish that it may contribute very largely to the enjoyment and welfare of many of you. It I. warmly necessary for me to tell you that is the present day there is no clam in thin country whose im provement, comfort, and general welfare are so much eared for and so anxiously desired as the soldiers of our army, and, I may add, the sailors of our naval service. Committees appointed by the government are constantly considering your intererle—and this building is one result of the general anxiety for your comfort. 1 suppose most of you know iti origin and its object ; but is ease any of you should not, I will meetioo in a few words that they were to provide a respectable place of comfort and recreation for a class of men who complained—sod the public echoed their complaint—that at Chatham, more than any other station, they found themeelves absolutely lost whenever they left their rooms in search of any rational amusement, having no place to torn to but the canteen in barracks, and the public-houses out of barracks. la order to remedy this. the government placed 2,0004 at the disposal of a committee towards erecting this building. That sum has been largely added to by subecriptioos—in fact., when the building se completed, and when it contains everything it is inteoded to contain, folly 5,0001. will have been laid out upon it. Such will be the cost of this club. Here every subscriber will be at bane, and free from every restraint, =ape such as 'all society in a civilised country is subject to. Of course the club, like all others, will be governed by certain rules, which have been made few and simple, relying on your own good ernes to render any others unnecessary. Now a word about beer. You know that in this same barrack is as excellent, well sup plied canteen, to which any members of this club who like a glass of beer may go and take it, and return to the quiet and comfort of the club. Thus it seems to me that every man's teats may be accommodated without com promising the true character of the establishment. Let me mak. thew, what should we gain by such an establishment as this, with all its intellectual amusements, if we made it another place for drinking--in plain terms, another ' canteen '—for such it would unavoidably become if beer were allowed in it ? What benefit would it be to the class of men I have alluded to, or to our numerous re cruits. lads and drummer-boys, many of whom only take to drinking from having no places but canteens or public houses to go to ? If beer was sold here they would be no better off than before. We know very well that • large pro portico of our recruits, I may say all those of the nual districts, and all our lads sod boys, are ci• sober nature ; they come to us from their country pariahs* with no taste for drink, but with • great taste for • mutton pie or • piano( pudding. These I hops they will find here, sod much will they prefer them to beer. Above all, are we to let the world remain under the false impression that our soldier's only enjoyment is beer—that beer is his idol, and that without it be is indifferent to any improvements that can be offered him! No doubt there are such men in the army, as there are in all classes ; but they are the minority . The majority of our soldier* justily consider the charge a libel. They an delighted to have an opportunity and a fitting plan to indulge better tastes and cultivate those coosiderable talents which mazy of them poems, cad which, when improved, geuerally lead to advancerneet, at all events to their advantage. Here is a plasm to suit such men and to be useful to them—at the same time, it is • place where any rem who subscribe to it will find • variety of resources for their leisure time. Hare will be found every kind of useful and amusing book, maps, pietares, **tremors, magazines, writing materials, gratis ; drawing materials, most of the games for in and out of doors, plays, concerts, amusing lectures, and refreshments of the best quality, at the cost price. Here, too, the members may enjoy the society of those relatives who come to see them from • distance. By permission of the General Conemandimpin. Chief. and with his Royal Highnem's best wishes. I sow open thin club to those soldiers of the service who wish to profit by the many advantages it offers them." ROYAL NatraLREBIEVIL—The following appoint ment. have bees made : To bs Lieutthants—John Crutwell and William Conialton. MURDER ON THE HIGH Baas.—On Tuesday, at the Tema Hail, Southampton, before J.
