ONs of the chief services rendered by the in stitution which the zeal and benevolence of Mr. MAURICE and others have established in Great Ormond-street is the multiplication of institutions like itself in other parts of the city and kingdom. The Surrey side has now its Working Men's Col lege ; and Bloomsbury will no longer be able to exalt its horn over the Borough. The artisans and labourers of South London and their friendly advisers and helpers have not put off doing anything until they could do everything. Though the design of the institution is com prehensive, embracing mathematical and phy sical science, morals and politics, languages and history, at present classes and teachers have been furnished for the physical sciences only. These subjects occupying the foreground in the pro spectus of the new College, the honorary oaice of Principal has been very appropriately conferred upon Professor HUXLEY. His opening address is in . . . itself a service rendered, not only by its author to the College, but by the College, which has fur nished occasion for it, to society. It is more than curious to note the fact that the vote of thanks awarded to the lecturer was moved by the Bishop of Cmtimm's Tows, and seconded by the Secretary to Bishop COLLSMON Defence Fund. It is a sign of s larger spirit than has hitherto pre vailed that men whose opinions on topics of paramount importance are wide as the poles asunder are ready to listen to each other ; to hear in patience things which may startle and even wound their preponsessions ; to lay aside the arro gance of Pharisaisiii or of Illuminism, and to co operate in good works. So far as Professor Hrxi.xv is concerned, this union is not purchased by any equivocation or reticence. His unflinching intellectual honesty is impressed on all that he says. This fact, we believe, has more than anything else brought about the good under standing whioh exists between himself and his theological opponents, and which was marked by his reception the other day at Sion College, and by the presence of the Bishop of GRAHAM'S Town on Saturday in Blackfriars-road. It is Mr. Hrs- LEY'S habit to accentuate the questions on which his opinions hirer from those commonly received I —to clothe them in the plainest and strongest language, to barb them with the keenest wit, and to wing them with the most telling illustration. He is the open and the manly foe. His antago nists blow where to have him, and are not afraid to meet him. Men are getting tired of attempts to persuade them that there is no difference of opinion, when they know that the differences are deep and wide ; of being informed that they really hold doctrines from which they heartily dissent ; and of hearing those doctrines conveyed in language and invested with associations which belong to convictions having nothing in common with them. Against this often unconscious sophistry Professor H XLEY'S example is a useful protest. Adversaries feel that in dealing with him they are standing up to a powerful antagonist, and that, if they are worsted, they will be worsted in fair fight. The sensation is a more healthy one than the suspicion of being imposed on by a professor of verbal legerdemain or metaphysical electro-biology. The impartiality with which Mr. HUXLEY dis penses his Mows is one of the secrets of the good humour with which they are received. The clergy might be a little angry, perhaps, at the raps they get on the knuckles, if they were not pleased with the hits delivered straight from the shoulder into the faces of the politicians ; and the manufacturers might resent the rough handling which they en counter, if they were not gratified at the manner in which the landlords are dealt with. They are like a crowd standing round some powerful gal vanic battery, each of whom forgets his own pain in the delight at the shock under which his neighbours are writhing. Professor Hi:steles theme, on Saturday, was liberal education, and he had no difficulty in show ing how narrow are the conceptions of it which form the ideal of the politician, the manu facturer, and the theologian ; and how far short even of their poor ideals the actual training of all classes amongst us falls. Primary and interme diate schools are not worse of their kind than colleges and universities. The lowest, the middle, and the highest classes are slued equally untaught in relation to their opportunities and the work they have to do. Mr. Lows might take lemons not only in the physical sciences which he ignorantly worships, but in the wit and sarcasm of which he is a master, from th.4Principal '' the College at 64, Bleckfriars-road. l e is LEY places his doctrine of education and fi rm foundation when he ~,, cation of " the masses," not beton tire I forth to be our masters, nor* eifigjeot may compete with the artizans of France a Belgium, but because they are men and women, and it is not good that the people perish for of knowledge. There are naturally traces f bent given to his own mind by his more pursuits in his application of this doctrine. - is inevitable. But while he avoids the ingrati tude of disparaging the discipline which hes made him what he is, he equally avoids the narrow ness of underrating the value of the studies which have not been his own. The special value of phi lological science and classical learning has seldom been more justly or forcibly expressed than in his speech. Stoic moralist& might be ransacked for a nobler delineation of the ideal wise man, who is alone truly a king, than the following :—" That man, I think, has had a liberal " education who has been so trained in youth that " his body is the ready servant of his will, and " does with ease and pleasure all the work that " as a machine it is capable of ; whose intellect is " a clear, cold, logical engine, with all its parts of " equal strength, and in smooth working order ; " ready, like a steam engine, to be turned to any " kind of work, and spin the gossamers as well as " forge the anchors of the mind ; whose mind is " stored with the great and fundamental truths of " nature and laws of her operations ; one who, no " stunted ascetic, is fall of fire, but whose pas " sions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous " will—the servant of a tender conscience ; who " has learned to love all beauty, whether of nature " or of art, to bate all vileness, and to respect " others as himself. Such a one and no " other, I think, has had a liberal education." It says much for the intellectual and moral value of the studies which have formed the special train ing of Professor HUXLEY'S mind that he should conceive that they furnish the directest road to this result. But his conception of life will be re garded by many as formed too exclusively upon the model of the physical sciences. The object of education he defines to be the knowledge of the laws of nature, which are the rules of the mighty game of life. Man is engaged, in his view, in a struggle—first for existence, and then for mastery, with the forces of the physical world. The rough lessons picked up by degrees, and half unconsciously, by our predecessors, and en forced by pain and penalty, or sweetened by reward, are to be anticipated by artificial education. Those who hold that " man and his surroundings" do not exhaust the universe, and that in the game of life other elements eater than the phenomena and laws of nature, will of course believe that arti ficial training will include other subjects than Professor HUXLEY contemplates ; and that the fullest and largest development of all man's facul ties, physical, intellectual, and moral, re quires a more varied apparatus and en ampler range of ideas than this theory provides for. But they will not be the less grateful for what is positive in Mr. HUXLEY'S doctrine. The phy sical sciences, in teaching men to deal with things at first hand, to confront facts, and to acknowledge them, afford a moral as well as an intellectual training. But the successful struggle with the forces of the universe fur which they qualify, is already, for the great majority of modern men, practically won. Few in this age and country have to engage in it for themselves ; and there is room left for that direct cultivation of the tastes and feelings, and the discursive faculties in art, letters, and speculation, which Professor HUXLEY leaves in the back ground. What these things can do in forming the man of liberal education, we must wait to learn until some one of Mr. Hu x- Lei's force of intellect and general range of culture brings to their advocacy a mastery of them like that which ho possesses of the natural sciences. The same intellectual food is not equally palatable and nutritive to all; and the general culture of humanity nrist be made up of the culture of special qualities in individual men. What is positive, however, in Mr. HUXLEY'S teaching is admirable ; and it needs only to be supplemented by teaching as positive from the point of view presented by other studies and somewhat different conceptions of life.

The railway arrangements in 000110Ii011 with the return journey wire similar to those an blonder, when the Prince and Princess 'retold at Holkham, the trains by which their royal highnesses travelled over the West Norfolk Junction and Lynn and Hunstanton lines being under the supervision of Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Sproal, district su perintendents of the Greet Eastern Railway. A new billiard-room and bowling-allay have been completed at Sandringham-house. During the residence of the Prince end Princess at the mansion, a resident clerk attends to the receipt and despatch of telegrams, a special wire having been provided for the purpose, se that there is di rect communication between Sandringham and the meth,- polis and other parts of England and the continent. The present vlait of the Prince and Princess to Sandringham Is expected to terminate about the clone( the present month. There appears to be good ground for believing that the Prince of Wales will attend an approaching ceremonial in connexion with Sunderland Docks ; on this occasion his royal highness will be entertained by Earl Vane. The Earl and Countess of Derby will be honoured this week with the presence at Knowsley Hall of the Prince and Princess Christian, Prince Arthur, the Prince Schleswig-Holstein, Princess Henrietta, Earl and Lady Vane, Vieountess Walden, the Earl and Countess et Bradford, Lord Stanley, de. On Thursday next the Mayor of Liverpool, Mr. Whitley, will entertain the royal guests at a ball in the Town-hall.

The all-important water question was complicated by the fact that the boats of the ships were not capable of placing daily in the shore tanks the requisite quantity, but the health of the camp was remarkably good. The weather was not exces sively hot, and the rations were of first-rate quality. The correspondent whose letter we are I 1 quoting says that if gentlemen who th ink of comb* to the place for sport can find means to carry their baggage, and can get permission to au company the army, they need be 'under no appre lhension as to lack of game : Even a few miles from camp the guinea end apt.- fowl abased, and bags of OD or 100 rook pigeon or Krouse have been made in a day ; the deer, or rather the rttilope, ere easily stalked, and shots w*.tb;n 100 yards can often be obtained ; many of them, after being ogee fired at and missed, will dart a few dozen yards and then curiously tom round, staring the shooter la the fan, and give him a second chance. Bastards which weigh 20114. are men vary, but though more difficult to approach, are ohm seen. Anyone coming should take only breech-loaders, as the air produces a good deal of i.urt. The other correspondent of the Daily News speaks admiringly of the scenery of the Koomaylie Pass. He mentions that the epidemic at &meld amongst the cavalry horses had nearly disappeared. The mortality amongst the mules and camels had decreased from 25 and 30 to sor 6 per day. He did not look to see the army in a position to move I hese Benafd in any force until the month of Fe ' hoary. Describing the natives, the correspondent of the 1 1 Post, who is at &add, says the women are not only plain but ugly. A plague of flies filled the air. "From sunrise to sunset they reign supreme, and every tree and every tent is covered with a living, moving, buzzing mass of these little black torments. You may kill them by hundreds on your head, arms, legs, table, anywhere, but it is perfectly futile ; Hydra-like, for every dozen you fancy you have exterminated, fifty swarm up in their place." Benafd was found, after Zulla, Koomaylie, &c., a species of Paradise. A delicious temperature,with a slight breeze, the sun's glare relieved by a few fleecy clouds, and above all, no dust : The comp is pitched on undulating ground, bounded, but not hemmed in, by low hills, some sharp pointed bare cage, the rest bluff rocks, covered with firs, thorns, and ameba. Everywhere the ground is strewn with stones of considerable size, which are being gradually cleared away, and the interior of the camp presents a tolerably level surface. The horses and mules picketed about form • picturesque sdjunet to the scene, and the natives swarm around in hopes of making an advantageous barter. The Herald correspondent, under date of Senafd, Dee. 16, writes : The messenger from Mr. Rusam arrived in the comp yesterday. He states that the King of Shoa's men are between Theodore and Magdsla, and that there is every hope that they will take the latter place, and liberate the primmer , . The reports about the King of Tigre are, to a certain extent, founded on fact. He hu professed the greatest friendship, but there are sinister reports that he really means mischief, and for two or three days the pickets have bean doubled. It is not thought that there is any foundation for the report of his intention to at. -k us. The steamer Raleigh, - . port 3w Orleans, was burnt yesterday off Charleston. Thin teen lives were lost ; 24 persons are still missing who were last seen clinging to the wreck. ARRIVAL OF THE TEUTONIA. SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 6. The Hamburg and American Company's steamer Teuton* from New Orleans on the 18th December, has arrived here with 24 passengers for Havre and Hamburg, 18,608 dole. for England, 68,430 dole. for England and France, and 2,541 bales of cotton for Hamburg. The Teutonia experienced heavy weather throughout her passage. On the 31st ult., in at. 48 deg. 2 Mill. N., lon. 37 W., she encountered a hurricane from the southward, shifting to W.N.W., and subsequently met with heavy south east gales and strong easterly winds up Channel. Upon the 21st ult. she spoke the English steamer Fire Queen, from New Orleans, bound to Liverpool; on the 24th the Bremen barque Armin, from the Gulf of Mexico, bound for Falmouth ; on the 30th the English steamer City of Cork, bound West ; on the 4th inst. the English ship Liberator, from Sydney for London, 96 days out ; the Isle of the South, from Shanghai for London, 34 days out ; and the Invincible, bound East.

(THIS DAY.) ITALIAN POLITICS. The business before the Florence legislature is regarded by the Tires as so important as to amount to • decision of the question whether or not parliamentary government can be maintained in Italy. The ministry, which has not undergone any important modifica tions, cannot dissolve the parliament, for, in conse quence of the practioe of the Chamber of assenting to a provisional budget only, no ministry could levy taxes I or expend the public money after the let of February with out • new vote. The difficulties, however, are not so much political ad personal. War with France is acknowledged by all men—Garibaldi himself not excepted—as impossible, and it is the merest rudiments of government which seem such insoluble puzzles toltalian statesmen. I. the present instance it isaimply petty antipathies, mean punctilios, which keep good and true men from joining Menabrea, and no party has given evidence of more glaring personal and provin cial selfishness than the Piedmontese ; and Piedmont, once the bulwark of national unity, has been turned into as active an element of dissolution as Naples and Sicily—only more dangerous. For, after all, painful as it may be to avow it, Italy is in danger of dissolution from internal disorders rather than from foreign violence. It is not by France or Austria, not by the Pope or by the Bourbon that the ruin of Italy can ever be compassed. If Italy falls it will be by her own band ; by the improvidence and infa tuation, by the blind selfishness of her leading men. The Daily Nevi is fully persuaded that General Mena. byes deserver the confidence of his countrymen. No minister has affirmed more clearly or energetically the rights of Italy as an independent nation, but, in common with all the most enlightened of his countrymen he is sick of empty declamation and of lawless enterprises. Italy is paying the penalty which Cavour, in the very moment of accepting the armed assistance of the Emperor, bad foreseen. It was in sheer desperation, and in default of • more disinterested alliance, that, as he expressed it in his familiar momenta, he " took one pirate to get rid of another." Hid he lived he might have known haw to get rid of both. But the secret of his success died with him. And the sufferings of many a proud Italian heart sines the consequences of an alliance with the most aggressive of European powers began to fall upon their country no tongue can utter, and no pen can describe. The Post attempts to abow an analogy between Fe pianism and trades unionism, and enters into a statement of the principles put forward, and of the tactics employed in each caws, in support of its argument. The Tima lands in high tares the circular which Dr. Moriarty has addressed to his clergy, and urges the pried. hood to follow the example. There have, undoubtedly, been some culpable exceptions, but, until the Timm Dees strong reason to the contrary, it will look for the tree spirit of the Roman catholic clergy in Dr. Moriarty rather than in Father Lavelle. The Bazadarci believe, that both the smirks d Ilmo tello tower and the Ming of Mr. Alport'a ahaia, wererather designed to startle the public sad sines the 6116 01 the Fenian cause, and glee them easuranee of the &dishy sad success of the brotherhood, than as a prelude to say seen serious operations. Nevertheless the steesselty of their - - - CRYSTAL PALACE. Although the Christmas entertainment* at Crystal Palace are still in the first flush of their novelty, the ever-active management hes added yet another item to the well-filled programme of amusement. Most people are already more or less familiar with a new and most amusing production of the present season called by the somewhat mysterious name of the Wheel of Life. Under the still more mysterious title of the Zoetrope, an example of this invention on a large scale has been erected in the concert ball of the Crystal Palace, mid on Saturday it was exhi bited several times during the afternoon. The Wheel of Life is so small that it may be placed on a drawing- I room table end turned by the hand. The Zoe trope, on the other hand, is so large that it has te be turned by one of Hugon's gas engines, and even the grain curtain, or extinguisher, which descends upon it after each representation has to be hauled up and lowered by a windiest. The figures, too, are said to be four feet high, instead of about a couple of inches, as in the smaller " wheel." It may be doubted, however, whether increased site has led in this ease to increased effect. The " Wheel of Life " brought forward without preparation or parade in the domestic circle or at a Christ mss party could scarcely fail to be productive of a good deal of genuine merriment among old and young, by the whimsical motions, or apparent motions, of the figures within the cylinder. But the same result can scarcely be hoped for when the invention is elevated to the dignity of a special exhibition at such a place as the Crystal Palace, to be looked at by three or four hundred spectators, and with its scenes introduced by remarks in the lighter Poly technic style of facetious description. The end does not justify the means. To the younger visitors, however, the Zoetrope will no doubt afford plenty of amusement ; for the older visitors there is alrea4y more than enough to please the most exacting. It is no mere flourish of advertisement panegyric, indeed, to my that the Crystal Palace itself it as delightful a place of resort in winter as in summer. Comfortably warmed, brilliantly lighted, and supplied with a round of attractive amusements, it well repays a visit from the most distant parts of Linden, even in the present inedenssail season.

(now an ows PARIS, &MAT Eva m.. The night fete on the ice in the Bois de Bou logne came off with great Mat. The place chosen by the Skating Club was the shallow lake made expressly for them near the Madrid wicket ground. Ten thousand " jets" of electrical light, many of them grouped in the form of garlands and bouquets, and a thousand Chinese lanterns suspended to the branches of trees, put out the moon, which was, moreover, frequently dimmed by snow clouds. The environs of the club's Swiss chalet were paved with soft cocoanut matting, and every luxurious appliance for passing an evening in defiance of the cold was provided within. Ladies in great numbers, reclining in fur-lined sledges, were pushed about by their cavaliers. But no small proportion of the fair sex preferred to put on skates, and dart about rivalling the most expert of the men. Thousands of the meaner sort not provided with tickets of admission thronged the borders of the lake, and mingled with the splendid equipages of the members of the club. The fete, which began as early as 8 o'clock, was not pro longed beyond midnight. Contrary to very general expectation the Emperor and Empress were not there. In consequence of the slippery state of the roads, the company did not arrive till some time after they had calculated to be on the spot. The band of the 24th Regiment, which was punctual, played ITALY. ' its first tunes to few auditors.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES. HOWTH, mum DUBLIN, J.ex. 4. mooning of distress were observed early yesterday from a vessel on shore on the Baldoyle Sand (states StaffCommancler Burney, R.N., the officer of othstruutil. It was blowing a fresh gale from the south east at the time. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was very quickly manned and launched, pro. (seeded to the sands, and found the schooner Seven Brothers, of Wicklow, stranded there. After some difti. cult, and danger on account of the heavy surf and broken water, the bo at got alongside, remelted the muter and crew of two men, and brought them safely ashore. CANTOR, NORFOLK, Jan. 4, The Rev. G. W. Steward gives the following particulars relative to the launching of the Birmingham No. 2 lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution yesterday, on service. He states that it was very squally at the time, with snow. storms, the wind blowing from east to east northeast. After the lifeboat was launched she proceeded down the Wald, when a foreign brig was observed on the southern part of the Hasborough sands, with her masts and mails standing. The sea was breaking heavily, and the masts soon fell. The Seratby lifeboat was ahead of the Castor boat, and the revenue cutter and an other cutter boat were also in the vicinity of the wreak. By the time the Caistor lifeboat arrived, the big was nothing but • mass of floating wreck, and after et oiling about for upwards of two hours the two lifeboats were returning homewards but were recalled by a signal from one of the other boats, and at once returned to the mck. Two men were then discerned, and ultimately gal lantly rescued by the Scratby lifeboat, which was again the first to reach the spot. At the first attempt the boat drove right on the wreck but failed to reach the men, who were crouching down on a piece of the wreak on the sands. Hailing the Cantor boat, and bidding her lay to and be ready to anchor and veer down if they failed next time, the Scratby now again gallantly bore down through the hews", incessantly braking on the sands, and with much diffi culty succeeded in rescuing the poor fellows, who, although young and strong men, were helpless , their li mbs being swollen with wet and cold. The remainder of the crew, eight in number, had unfortunately perished as they were on the mainmast when it fell overbosid. The two rescued men were mostly kindly and hospitably treated by the Scmtby beachmen when they reached the shore, and have since gone to London all right. The Bradford lifeboat at Ramsgate, the Sabrina at Kingedowne. the Royal names Yacht Club lifeboat at Weimer, the Herhert hymn boat at Skegness, which are in connection with the National Lifeboat I nstitution, also put off during the recent theme weather, but fortunately their services were not ultimately needed.

A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEM' oN THE SUSIECT OF FENIANISIL—A long letter was issued on Saturday by Mr. Waterworth, a leading Homan cathoho plant at Worcester, on the subject of ' , subtilises and its supposed adherents, which has excited some attention. He alleges that the Fenian are "in open war with the catholic church," and that therefore they are opposed by all catholic.. As to the cause of her rebellious proceedings, he declares that foreigners affirm " that Lords Rumen and Palmerston were the open factors of foreikpi rebellion;" that they fat, d and praised and almost idolised that sad origiaator of Italian misery, misrule, rebellion, sacrilege, and blasphemy ; that foolish man Garibaldi." Irishmen knew what had been done a nd said in favour of rebellion, and in justilimition of the a.uuroption of democracy over thrones and all consti tuted authorities. They ash why they who were once a nation should not be an independent people again. "le that forbidden to us in ilia hour of our discontent and misery which is allowed to the Neapolitan and Sicilian, to the Florentine and the Pormese Duchies! England told teem totree themselves. Why ere we alone inhibited from claiming for our people tedeperideime and an Irish throne?' He sidle that what is being done here in the way of pre caution is " inconsiderate and mischievous under the air cutustancea" He adds, " There is not—l am sure of this—there is not a single Irishman, or Irishwoinan, oe Irish child reeident in thin city who has rho remotest ODD . flexion with Fenianism. There is not one who does not detest it." A meeting of Roman catholic. ii talked of.
