Tuz public banquets given out of London become every year more numerous and important. The Mayors of our towns and cities aim at greater things in this way than formerly contented them ; their annual dinners are planned upon a scale of increasing liberality, and the attempt is made to enhance their social utility by giving a higher and wider range to the invitations. The Mayor of OXFORD'S banquet on Wednesday was attended by the Lord-Lieutenant and the Sheriff of the county, by the Members of Parliament for the city and county, with those for Banbury and Woodstock, by several distinguished members of the University, and a large number of the leading citizens. It is well that once a year those who are connected by local interests, but separated by di versities of classes and pursuits, should meet . . and be reminded of one another's exist ence, and have au opportunity of reciprocating kindly feeling. This, we take it, is the real ad vantage of such meetings ; though if a county member like Mr. HENLEY chooses to consider that in dining in the Town•hall at Oxford he is showing his affection for municipal institu tions, there can be no reason why his compli ment should not be accepted. If they fulfil their primary end we ought to bo satisfied. Mr. HEN LEY, however, is inclined to ascribe to them a further and disciplinary use. Nothing, he says, is more important than the lesson which these as semblies teach of " the duty of respecting every " man's opinions." Undoubtedly that is a very valuable lesson, and we wish it were more generally understood. But we are afraid that it is not taught very practically at these dinners, for, as Mr. HENLEY explained, the respect spoken of is shown by foregoing all expression of opinion on the subjects respect ing which men's convictions are strongest. As Mr. CARDWELL observed, " Those who attend " on occasions like the present agree to leave at " the door the topics on which there is a recog " nisei.' difference of opinion." This is how the Popes made the Thomiats respect the opinions of the Scotists, imposing silence upon both. What is wanted in England is such a habit of respect for the opinion of others as may be displayed in the enjoyment of a free interchange of ideas. The rule of silence on disputed topics is, however, most useful at a banquet, although it cannot have the educational results hoped for by Mr. HENLEY. _ - Reflections upon political events, offered under such restrictions, could not be very peculiar or striking. Mr. HENLEY, however, managed to express his opinion of the state of things in Ger many, and also to say a word about the treatment of the question of Parliamentary Reform by the House of Commons next session. He sees that the King of PRUSSIA has assumed a heavy respon sibility by sweeping away so many old traditions and hereditary titles, and that he " can have no " security for the position he holds except by " securing to the people over whom he rules " those advantages which he held out as the jiusti " fication of the course he has taken." The observation has already been made in Germany, by two classes of persons who draw very opposite conclusions from it. The " Union" party in Hano ver, Hesse, Saxony, Baden, and other non-Prus sian countries, assume that its truth must needs be apparent to Count Btsmaaex, and they argue that the King of Puussis must therefore have resolved beforehand to satisfy the just expectations of Germany. They are continually urging on their less trustful countrymen that the Prussian Govern ment must give the country both union and liberty, because, now that it has cut up the old doctrines of legitimacy and divine right by the root, it will have no other title than that which it derives from its efficiency and readiness to advance the welfare of the country. The old feudal party in Prussia also see this, and are enraged against Count Bra- Isaacs for thus shifting the basis of the Prussian throne, and extending Mr. Lowa's terrible prin ciple of " payment for results" to royalty itself. An old member of that party, named Gaaracts, a Prussian country gentleman, accustomed to speak his mind with inconvenient bluntness, has just given expression to opinions much resembling Mr. Hatt- „pa yffPRESS, FRID Lay's, convinced, like him, that has incurred a " great and fee Perhaps he has ; but it is ispoilippix get on any more than others in thllßiasis incurring responsibility. What statesmen of Mr. HINLIVO habit of mind too often overlook is that sometimes more responsibility is incurred by letting things alone than by timely action. If new interests grow up in states and nations, and if new ideas, seeking political embodiment, attain the energy of mighty forces, governments must deal with them and endeavour to adapt their policy to them at the risk of seeing themselves superseded by irregular agencies. It is of great consequence to uphold the reverence due to ancient institutions and preserve the line of tradition unbroken; but the best security for both is to take care not to claim reverence for that which is not worthy of respect, and to recon cile traditions as much as possible with the present living faith of the community. Ctrs Court. BALMORAL, OCT. 17. The Queen opened the Aberdeen Waterworks, yesterday, at Invereannim Her Majesty was accompanied by Prince and Princess Christian, Princess Louise, and Prince Arthur. The suite consisted of the Duchess of Roxburghe, the Hon. Emily Cathcart, Sir Stafford Northcote, Lieut.- General the Hon. Charles Grey, Colonel Ponsonby, Major Elphinstone, Mr. Sahl, and Dr. Robertson. The royal party drove to Balloter, where a 'special train was in readiness, which conveyed them to a temporary station at Incbmarlo, where her Majesty was received by Sir James Burnett, Lord Lieutenant of Kincardineshire, and Mr. Davidson, of Inchmarlo, through whose grounds the royal party proceeded to Invercannie. On arriving at the reservoir the Queen was received by Sir Alexander Anderson, Lord Provost of Aberdeen, and the Police Commissioners (by whom the works wore under taken), the Earl of Kintore, Lord Lieutenant of Aberdeen shire, the members for the counties of Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire, and many of the gentry of the neigh- bourbood. A detachment of the volunteers of the district mounted I as a guard of honour. After the delivery of a prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hutchin son, minister of the parish, the Lord Provost of Aberdeen I presented an address to the Queen, who was graciously pleased to read an answer. Her Majesty then turned a watercock (which admitted the water into the reservoir), and declared the works to be open. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the royal party re turned by the same route to Balmoral. On passing Inchinarlo-house, her Majesty was graciously pleased to accept a bouquet, presented to her by Miss Davidson. The Queen drove in the afternoon with Prince and Princess Christian. Princess Louise and Prince Arthur, attended by the Hon. Emily Cathcart and Major Elphinstone, rode to Balloter, and paid a visit to Dr. and Mrs. Jenner. Sir Stafford Northcots had the honour of dining with the Queen and the royal family. A deputation from the Macclesfield Burial Board, con sisting of Mr. Alderman Bury, Mr. May (Clerk to the Board), and Mr. Aspinwall (borough surveyor) bad an interview with the Right Hon. Spencer H. Walpole, at the Home-office, yesterday. —."---- /bcrd -- hs ve4reornmf t : f : t to j the do u i f btful . state . oil! his th w wi il l l • scope o ____. rrtill tae highest l al 4 41110TZ11 4 8 TELEGRAMS.) tyz.

The convocation of the diets of the various pro vinces of the empire is in itself a wise measure, and may possibly indicate the approaching announcement of an imperial policy suited to the peculiar circumstances of the 1 monarchy. At all events, the meeting of so many repre i sentative assemblies must afford the government useful information respecting the tendencies of the public mind. Treating of Mr. Gladstone's visit to Italy, the Herald has a strange remark in reference to the well-known liberal committee, consisting of the most reputable citizens of Rome. It says, speaking of the absence of risk in Mr. Gladstone's visit, " The Roman Committee, of course, would not trouble about Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone' and would cut their throats with perfect complacency: and any band of patriots out of work and in want of plun der would show them u little regard. But the Roman committee moves by orders from Florence, and the patriot* can do nothing without the connivance of the Italian go vernment." FRANCE. PARIS, Ocr. 19. The Moniteux of this morning announces the death of M. Thouvenel as a loss to the Emperor and the country, and adds :—" His name is so in timately associated with the remembrance of the annexation of Nice and Savoy to France, that his loss will remain the object of well-founded and honourable regret." PUBLIC WORKS IN MORAVIA. BRUNN, Ocr. 19. The Emperor has ordered the completion of the Moravian railway system to be carried ou t with the greatest possible expedition, and the execution of public works in Moravia to the amount of one million of florins during the current I year. His Majesty has remitted 10,000 florins to be distributed among the poor of Brunn. Dr. Giskra, mayor of Brunn, has been decorated by his Majesty with the cross of the order of Leopold. PORTUGAL LISBON, OCT. 18. The King, Queen, and suite went to Oporto this morning, in order to be present at the inauguration of the statue of Don Pedro IV., which is to take place in that city to-morrow. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) ROAN CATINNICUOI IN TH) CHURCH Or riOLAND. The extravagances of the ritualists and the pro found disregard which they exhibit for the ecclesiastical virtue of obedience are commenthd upon by the Times ; sad a letter is given from a correspondent describing the kindred instruction which he heard communicated to a class of children in St. Alban's, Holborn. There is, remarks the Tines, in these proceedings a vulgarity of taste as well es an absurdity of practice made ape airily apparent when it is known that the very vestments in which these ecclesiastical performers flaunt, and to which they attach such ridiculous importance, have been shown to be nothing but orna mented varieties of the usual garments of the time of the Roman empire. But the greatest evil of all is that these antics, as our contemporary terms them, are definitely connected with the system of Roman catholic doctrine. Archbishop Manning, in • recent ad dress, congratulated his audience that they were relieved of the necessity of maintaining the controversy about transubstantiation, because the English clergy had adopted that doctrine, and were diligently inculcating it among their people. The statement, it must be admitted, was scarcely any exaggeration. Even the celibacy of the clergy is beginning to be openly advocated, and the duty of confession is avowedly circulated, while it is attended by none of those safeguards which alone render it toler able in the Roman catholic church. The easy consent of fathers and husbands is grossly abused, and the un employed young-ladyisin of their households is turned to account by teachers of this school. It would be reducing articles and ecclesiaaticaljaws to a mere farce if it could be proved that they were incapable of repressing the very errors against which they were expressly designed. The issue ought at least to be definitely tried, or people will be asking what is the use of an established church if it cannot maintain established doctrines ? It is time this pernicious nonsense was stopped, and whatever the noise which these innovators might make, the authorities of the church would have the general support of the English people if they would but summon up resolution to do their duty. POLITICAL PARTIES IN PRANCE. Though the disorder under which the Emperor Napoleon is understood to suffer is rather lingering and painful than directly threatening to life, or disabling from the duties of sovereignty, the Daily News observes that uneasiness and apprehension have been excited in France. It is the misfortune of the system of personal government that it can with difficulty survive the person who created and wielded it; and if the imperial system should fall, what is to take its place! Even if constitutional principles have not been discredited in France too much to allow of the reorganisa tion of constitutional monarchy there are too many signs that statesmen capable of wisely and firmly administering it cannot be sought in the ranks of the present opposition. The toryism of England was the ideal which M. Guizot deliberately set before himself in his administration, and the Orleanist school have not, it would seem, had their eyes opened to their errors by eighteen years of exile. M. Guizot advocates the maintenance by French arms of the temporal power of the papacy ; M. Thiers denounces Italian freedom and unity ; and M. Forcade protests against the consolidation of Germany. From the Orlean ist leaders proceeded the chief resistance which Mr. Cob den had to encounter in his negotiation of the French Treaty of Commerce. M. Prevost-Paradol's recent apology for small and rotten boroughs and electoral corruption as the means of securing parliamentary independence went beyond the expressed convictions even of the highest English toryism. M. Forcade's stric tures upon our reform agitation given in the current number of the Revue des Deus Mundes might have been translated from some of our openly or covertly tory prints. These politicians who managed their own affairs so ill emulate the blindness of our blindest party. They counsel us to act in the spirit of resistance, if not to adopt the exact measures of suppression, which in 1848 involved France in revolution. These things force us tol the mis giving that a really liberal government in France is, for the present, little short of an impossibility. The folly and incapacity of the constitutional party does more than any thing else to preserve the despotism which its folly and incapacity created. Orleanists of the fashion of M. Forced* and M. Provost-Paradol are the most dangerous foes that constitutional monarchy possesses in France. MB. BRIGHT AND PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. The Times continues to draw a distinction between the arguments of Mr. Bright in what are now characterised as his infiammatory speeches at Glasgow, and those which may be fairly advanced in favour of reform. A larger fran chi,e will satisfy the self-respect and the political aspira tions of a class who feel that they have risen to the due level of intelligence to obtain it, and it will strengthen the constitution, which will then stand on a broader basis. In the distribntien of seats it is a just complaint also that the small borougba are too many ; bat these arguments are wholly independent of the character of the present House of Commons, and their force would not be weakened if it were shown that se • legislative machine the present house is perfect. The Tines then proceeds to con tend that the House of Commons reflects faithfully and rapidly the public opinion of the country, and that its faults as well se its merits are those of the nation at large. As to the land question which Mr. Bright spoke of, the land of England in many counties is becoming a sort of pleasure-ground for those who are accumulating wealth in the great towns, and if it were divided to-morrow among all the adult males who dwell upon it, the process of agglomeration would begin again in a week. It is not the duty of the legislature to resist what is evidently an inevitable ten dency of our social state. The Herald uses strong expressions in dealing with Mr. Bright. We read of his " infamously personal attack Lord Derby, his "fecund power of calumny ;" and we are told that when he resumes his career of mischievous ac tivity at Dublin, in the very centre of sedition and disaf fection, the natural fruits of whig misrule, he will find himself perfectly at home. It is complained by the Post that Mr. Bright he not merely monotonous himself, but he is also the cause of monotony in others, for, as he persists in parroting the same fallacies and misstatements, there is no alternative but to continue repeating the logical and historical refu tation of them. The Star asks what the conservative class propose to do. Numbers have power as well as wealth. Were the eighty four out of every hundred grown men in the kingdom who have no votes to make a vow that they would do no work until they were made politically free the whole edifice of this country's wealth and prosperity would be shaken to its base. Were they to subject themselves to the priva tion even of some of the luxuries which they now enjoy, they could blast the revenue of the country, and make the work of government impossible. Notwithstanding these considerations the Star has no hope whatever of the tory party se a whole, or of such leaders as Lords Cranborne and Joha Manners have shown themselves to be, acting wisely in regard to the great issue before the country. By the very conditions of its existence the tory party is ene of obstruction. )US TOPICS.

He trembled much while the Coroner read over the two depositions made on Friday last. Mr. Beard declined to cross-examine the witnesses pre viously examined. Herbert Matthew Burgess, 12, Essex-street, Bethnal green-road, said that he was the son of the deceased's first husband. About 34 years ago witness went with his mother-in-law and Wm. Scott to Hackney Church. Wit ness was to give her away to Mr. Scott. Before the clergyman performed the ceremony Scott impt out of the church and Mrs. Burgess then went away. They were not married. The prisoner—Not on the sec ond oemaion, b sat I was— Mr. Beard anu the Coroner here checked the prisoner, and he did not conclude his remark. The witness continued, and said that the prisoner and Mrs. Burgess were not married afterwards, nor were they married before to his knowledge. But she told him that she had been married to Scott while Burgess was still a live. Burgess went to sea afterwards, and it was believed that he was drowned. The prisoner—l can easily prove that we were married. By Mr. Abbott—The prisoner said himself, four years' ago, that he was not married. Elizabeth Marsh, 1, Park-street, Bethnal-green, said that on the Saturday prior to the deceased's death, she went into her shop in the Bethnal-green-road. Scott sent for a quartern of gm. Deceased said, "That is howhe spends the money." Soott replied, " Yes, I will while I can get a sixpenm to spend." Deceased stooped to settle her stocking; Scott took up &poker and said " I will smash her legs." Witness interfered, and shoved him away. That took place in the room behind the shop. She left to go into the shop, saying " That is language to use to a 'dying woman." She took up a pound weight, and flung it at him, but witness caught it in her hand. Mr. Scott kicked the deceased behind, and then in the chest, saying that he would kick her eyes or nose, witness could not re member which. Deceased, when kicked, screamed violently and seemed much hurt. By Mr. Abbott—Soott used to give her drink. They used to drink together. Some time since Scott said be would be her death. Other witnesses spoke to acts of violence on the part of the prisoner during her dying hours, and to statements made by the deceased, when lying in her bed, respecting blows which he had given her. * Some of the language spoken of as used by the prisoner during the last hours of the deceased is extremely revolt ing. To one witness the unfortunate woman had shown a wound on her head which the prisoner hod made with the heel of his boot. The medical evidence testified to the existence of bruises of recent inflietion on almost every part of the body. Mr. Gant, of the Royal Free Hospital, said he was of opinion that death resulted from repeated acts of violence ; and Mr. Ralph, who was present at the post-mortem examina tion, fully ooncurred. The jury, after some deliberation, agreed to a verdict of " Aggravated manslaughter." The Coroner said that the verdict would be one of man slaughter only. The question of aggravation could only be considered by a judge in passing sentence. A verdict of " Manslaughter" against William Scott was agreed to. The prisoner was then removed in custody, and large c-owds assembled in the street to see him, giving the police some trouble. The New York World publishes what it calls a " smashing letter" from Mr. Charley Meade, defending his story, " Griffith Gaunt,"j from attacks which have been made upon it in the columns of some of the American journals, more particularly in the publication called The knout Tabh. "Of course," writes Mr. 'Wade, " Griffith Gaunt,' like Hard Cash,' is not a child's book, nor a little girl's book ; it is an ambitious story, in which I present the great passions that poets have sung with ap plause in all ages ; it is not a boatful of pap ; but lam not paid the price of pap. By tho very nature I of my theme I have been compelled now and then to tread on delicate ground ; but I have trodden lightly and passed on swiftly, and so will all the pure-minded men and women who read me." The remarks of the writer in The Round Table he considers so scandalous that he is about, he says, to " sue an English weekly for merely quoting The editor of the former periodical ho means to bring before a jury of Americans. \Vu read in the New York World of the 6th " The official statement of the public debt on the let of October, which we print this morning, shows that its amount on that day, lees the cash in the treasury, was 2,57.3,336,941 dollars. Going back two months, and comparing this with the corresponding statement made on the Ist August, we find there has been a reduction of 59,762,335 dole., or about sixty millions in 61 days. At this surprising rate, the whole debt would be extinguished in less than seven years. It is obvious that the rate of reduction will be rapidly accelerated as the debt approaches extinction, in asmuch as large sums now annually paid to keep down the interest will then go towards the liquidation of the principal." The American vessel the Miantonomoh and her consorts are at Hamburg, and a banquet has been given to the officers. We understand that the Institute of Painters in ' Water-Colours, 53, Pall-mall, will open their winter exhi bition of sketches and studies on the sth proximo. THE LATE CAPTAIN ANEW RIGHT. —WO regret to state that intelligence has reached us this morning of the death of Captain Arkwright, aide-de-camp to the Lord Lieutenant. The melancholy event occurred in Switzer land, and in the presence of some of his nearest relatives. Captain Arkwright was upon the sta ff of Lords Carlisle and Kimberley, as well as of the Marquis of Abereorn, and was highly popular and esteemed among us. In him the service has lost a most promising young officer.—Dublin Brining Mail. REPRESENTATION OF BELFAST.—In consequence of Sir Hugh Cairns having accepted the Lord Justiceahip of Appeal the leading conservatives of Belfast have &heady held a private meeting, at which, after some conversation it seemed to be ascertained that , of the na mes mentioned as yet, that of Mr. Chilies Lanyon would be most accept able to the electors for the vacancy created by Sir Hugh Cairns's promotion. LIFEBOAT SERVICE. —HOWTII, DUBLIN BAY, OCT. 17.—During a strong gale from the S.S.E. this morning (says the Staff Commissioner, H. D. Burney, R.N.), a signal of distress was observed from a vessel in a north-westerly direction. The Howth lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution (the Sir George Bowles) was thereupon promptly launched and proceeded through a heavy sea to her assistance. She was found to be the fishing smack Favourite of Peel. She had carried away her fore sheet and missed stays, and had then stranded off Bahlcoyle. The sea was making a complete breach over the smack, and the orew were in a very exhausted state. The lifeboat was fortunately successful in rescuing the shipwrecked crew of seven men and a boy, and in bringing them safely ashore. The night was very dark, and but for the timely aid of the lifeboat the crew must have perished, as their vessel was in a position of great danger. The cost of this lifeboat, as well as that of the Cahore lifeboat, was presented to the Institution about four years since by General Sir George Bowles, K.C.8., and since then the Howth boat has been the means of saving the lives of 23 persons from various shipwrecks. BUSBY ITE SERVICES. —The churches which were so notorious last spring are equally notorious still, and a visit to such a place as St. Alban's, Holborn, on the occa sion of what is called the " High Service," is still suffi cient to startle even the most tolerant of ordinary churchmen. Priests, as they delight to call themselves, in defiance of the most judicious of English divines, are conspicuous in dresses unknown to the English eye for three hundred years. Three of these personages, bedizened with green and gold and yellow, and covered with black stripes and crosses, stand with their backs to the congregation on the elevated steps at the east end of the church. The altar is overladen with gorgeous ornament, and illumi nated at noonday with two great lighted candles. Pyra mids of rapers, such as are seen in Roman catholic churches, are placed at each side ; the chancel is emblazoned with tinsel banners, and the white surplices of the choristers are the only things in the gaudy spectacle which could re mind one of the customary ritual of the English church. Here, across an atmosphere which is faint with the odours of incense, the green and gilded priests are dimly discerned performing unintelligible manoeuvres, bowing and bending and turning and crossing from side to side, until the recita tion of the words of the service becomes the smallest part of their functions. Two white dressed attend ants carry a silver censor, from which the fumes of the incense are incessantly toned, now over the altar, now I over the book from which the gospel is read, and now into the faces of all the Performer in the chanoeL A fine organ and excellent singing, in which, where it is allowed, the congregation join with impressive effect, supply the only legitimate element in the ceremonial, andthe perform ance culminates in a series of flexions and genuflexions, which can only be fitly described as the Elevation of the Man.-2'nm.

William fled, the proprietor of an omnibus plying be tween Kingsland-gate and the Elephant and Castle, was summoned by the inspector of hackney carriages f * the metropolitan police, for using a cab and an omnibus in an unfit and dangerous conditson. The defendant pleaded guilty to both c h arges . The inspector stated that both the cab and the umber were in a most dilapidated and unsafe condition. Ths panel and flooring were broken, the springs were out el Muir plate, the essisions were dirty, and both vehicles were unsafe and not fi t for the of the public.

He was liable to a penalty of 31. far every day the vehicles were used after the notice was given, and he felt it his duty to fine him 21. for earl offence, making in all, with the coda, V. 6a. The defendant, who appeared surprised at the decision, asked the magistrate to mitigate the penalty. Alderman Finale said he certainly should not do so, and if the fines were not paid he would go to prison for s month. BOW-STREET. A MYSTIRIOCEI VISITOR. A diminutive individual, in aspect more fierce than for. midnble, who declined to give his name or render any so count of himself, was charged with assaulting Alfred Clinch, a cabman, first of all by striking and kicking >, and soundly by pointing • pistol at him.

He then said he had called to see Mr. Wilson. Complainant said that was not his name, and the prisoner then went away, and returned in about a quarter of an hour with a revolver which he pointed at witness, and said that he would shoot him. Witness took it from him and loud that it was not loaded. Witness then put him out el the house. The prisoner was still very quarrelsome, and as witness could not submit to the annoyance any longer he sent for a policeman. The prisoner then ran away but was sto k r ai e zb d;)y some of the bystanders. Leeman,ls7 F, said he was on duty in the Stread and was called to New Church-court to remove the primer, who was drunk. He declined to give any explanation of his conduct, and witness took him to the station-hour. The prisoner said he was only taking the pistol to be mended. He was remanded for further inquiry.
