By JOHN Balcrii, M.D. Dean and Son, 65, Ludgate-hill. Y.C. THE CHURCH INsmuTroN.—The Archbishop of Canterbury presided yesterday at St. James's-hall, at a meeting of the members of the Church Institution, which was established a few years since, under the auspices of the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl Nelson, the Earl of Dartmouth, Lord Lyttelton, Sir Bounden Palmer, M.P., Lord Cranborne, M.P., Mr. Beresford Hope, M.l'., Mr. Cubitt, M.P., and other gentlemen , for the purpose of protecting the church from attacks ad His grace was supported by the Archbishop of Armagh, the Deans of Durham and Emley,Archdeacons Bickersteth(Pro locutor of the Lower House of Convocation), Denison, Moore, the Earl of Courtown, the Right Hon. J. Napier, Sir F. Heygate, Bart., M.P., Sir J. M. Sturge, Bart., Sir J. Gibbons, Bart., Mr. G. Selater Booth, M.P., r. F. S. Powell, M.P., Mr. G. Ward Hunt, M.P., Mr. Lefroy, M.P., and a large number of other gentlemen. The Archbishop of Canterbury expressed his cordial concurrence with the objects of the institution, and strong testimony was borne to the efficiency of its operations in Ireland, especially in resisting the efforts which were at present being made to disestablish the church there The archbishops and bishops had given their cordial sanction to the introduction of the Church Institution into theirrespective dioceses,andduring the past year its organisation in Ireland had rapidly ex tended. Reference was also made to the efforts of the in stitution in connexion with the conscience clause, the Abolition of Oaths Bill, church rates, the Oxford Tests Abolition Bill, the Lahore Bishops Bill, end other political and ecclesiastical measures. At this juncture, it was said there was a necessity for churchmen to be on their guard, and prepared for a heavier renewal of the contest than had ever yet been attempted. A new parliament had just as sembled, comprising many untried men, and not a few avowed enemies to the church. Resolutions approving the necessity of increased operations on the part of the Church Institution were adopted. In the evening the members dined together at St. James's-hall, under the presidency of the Right Hon. Joseph Napier, late Lord Chancellor of Ireland. REPRESENTATION OP CAMBRIDGE.—The writ em powering the mayor to proceed to an election of a gentle. man to fill the vacant seat for the borough in parliament arrived in Cambridge yesterday afternoon, and it was forth with announced that the conservatives were ready with their candidate, in the person of Mr. John Eldon Gorst, barrister-at-law of the Middle Temple, of St. John's Col lege. Mr. Gorst was third wrangler in 1857, and after wards Fellow of St. John's. He will address a meeting of his supporters this evening at the old gathering place of the conservatives, the Lion Hotel. Mr. Gorst num.:caul fully contested Hastings at the last general election, when the numbers were—Hon. G.W. Leslie (liberal),749 ; Robert son (conservative), 737 ; F. North (liberal), 725 ; Gorst (con servative), 591. On Tuesday morning, Colonel Torrens, one of the late candidates in the liberal interest, arrived, and was engaged all day in consultation with sundry of the liberal electors as to the expediency of offering himself as a candidate on the present occasion. SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 18.—A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Freemantle (just outside the limits of the borough of Southampton) was held at the Nelson Inn, Fourpost, on Monday evening, in favour of the Reform Bill now before parliament. Mr. Ashby proposed, and Mr. Coffin seconded, the following resolution, which was carried unanimously :—" That this meeting has wxtehed with interest and peat satisfaction the debate upon the second reading of the bill for the amendment of the representation of the people, and hereby expresses its earnest hope that the measure will be carried by a triumphant majority in the Howe of Commons."

The Bourse to-day abundantly shows the want of confidenoe of the public in the Constibutionnel's assurance that France does not think of departing from neutrality in case of a war in Germany. The very slight rise of yesterday is more than effaced, and the closing quotations are lower than the lowest point since the war panic set in. Rente fell 20c. for cash, and 274 c. for account, closing at 66fr. 96c. and 66fr. 77i0: Mobilier fell llfr. 25c. ; Credit Foncier, 20fr. ; Comptoir d'Escompte, 25fr. ; and Italian, lfr. 20c. Railways were generally from 2fr. 50c. to sfr. lower. The hopes entertained by the liberal party in Paris that M. Laboulaye would be returned for the Baa Rhin were founded mainly upon the manifest change of public opinion observed in the city of Strasbourg, the only place in the department be tween which and Paris rapid intercommunication of ideas is possible. This prevision so far as Stras bourg is concerned, has been abundantly justified biptlarlinalt4-attiseugis4tise veins of one et the great towns of France in which education is more generally diffused than in almost any other having been swamped by the country districts where the prevalent language is German and the people can not read the French papers) M. Laboulaye is de feated. Strasbourg now takes rank with Paris, Mar seilles, Lyons, Dijon, and the other great centres of intelligence which have unmistakeably pro nounced against the continuance of the despotic system, inaugurated by the coup cr Hut of 1851. In 1863 the votes for Strasbourg stood thus M. de Bussibre, government can didate M. Odillon Barrot, opposition can didate Now in 1866 the figures are precisely reversed, for the state of the poll at the close yesterday was : M. Laboulaye, opposition can didate M. de Bussibre, government can didate . 7,147 7,487 4,966 In the rural cantons there is scarcely a fractional change from 1863. The severe sur veillance of the prefect and his subordinates, the ignorance of the populations, the absence of the right of public meeting, and free committees, and the short period (three weeks) between the an nouncement of the vacancy and the election, left the Alsatian peasantry under tho same influences that carried the election of 1863. The general result is that M. de Bussiere is returned by 19,635 Totes against 9,916 given to M. Laboulaye. Although the theory of universal suffrage is that votes are counted, not weighed, the Emperor, who knows better than to rely upon the arguments of the Constitutionnet,cannot fail to meditate upon the lesson given by Strasbourg. The 14,000 Alsatian peasants who voted for M. de Bussiere might be made to vote for anybody else if the prefect so willed, and their opinions, or rather their no opinions, would be nothing worth in a grave crisis. _ . The Marquis de Boissy, the French senator, whose cuisine is as famous as his boasted hatred for England, had the honour of entertaining Mr. Stephens, the " Head Centre ," at dinner on Satur day last. In giving this news, I assume that the person whose portrait appears in the last number of the Monde Illustre, and who represents himself to be Stephens, is really the man. But there are Fenian in Paris who say that there is now "a" Stephens in most of the cities of Europe. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WEDNTSDAY, AriuL 18, 8 Lx. F. Extreme. Bea, H. T. W. 1 ,----"----. W.

The Senate has passed the Civil Rights Bill over the President's veto by a vote of 33 to 15. It is believed that the House of Representatives will also pass the bill over the veto. An animated and excited debate occurred pre vious to the passing of the bill. Mr. Sanlisbury declared that its enforcement would lead to war, bloodshed, and disunion. The New Jersey Legislature has adjourned with out appointing a senator. President Johnson has released Captain Semmes under his original parole. Doran Killian is reported to have left New York with a Fenian force in order to endeavour to seize the inland of Campo Bob,o in the Bay of Fundy, The report is believed to be set afloat to pacify the bondholders, who are impatient at Mahony's inactivity. Another import, set afloat for a similar purpose, asserts that a large fordo has set out to attack Bermuda. Mahony has issued a cir cular, announcing the arrival of Stephens in Paris. Stephens, through Mahony, informs the Fenian, that he left the organisation in Ireland in as good a condition as it has been since the recent Fenian scandals in America. He left the reins of govern ment in competent hands during his temporary absence. He went to Paris on important business, and not because the enemy forced him to leave Ireland. He would visit America to restore har monious councils and well-concerted 'action. Stephen adds that he will only remain in Ame rica a short time.

A mass meeting has been held at Washington, emphatically endorsing President Johnson's policy. Senator Lane has introduced resolutions in the Senate for the admission of Southern members upon certain conditions. He spoke in favour of the President's policy, and declared that the Re publican party was crumbling to pieces. every day's postponement of the admission of Southern members ensured the destruction of the republican Party. The committee on foreign affairs have instructed the chairman to report the resolution to send a fleet to the fishing grounds.

At STRB. AND PRUSSIA. VIENNA, APRIL 17. The Vienna papers assert that Queen Victoria has addressed a letter to Count Mensdorff, in which her Majesty expresses her high approval of the attitude maintained by the Austrian government in its dispute with Prussia. A telegram received here from Silesia states that the Prussian military preparations in that province continue. The Prussian reply to the Austrian note of the 7th inst. was delivered to-day by Baron von Werther to the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs. The note, which displays no acerbity of tone, declines to accede to the Austrian demand that Prussia should desist from military prepara tions. It points out that Austria, having been the first to arm, should also be the first to restore her military establishment to a peace footing. - - - - - -- LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S-OFFICE, ST.

[STAMPED, 1L ADDITIONAL] LAUNCH OF THE NORTHIJKI3I As this heading indicates, the Northumberland iron-clad is floating at last. She was launched yesterday afternoon without accident, with perfect ease, and it may be added (in words often need to save labour and space), "with great kW." The disappointment which must have been felt by many hundreds on the previous day, instead of stopping increased the excursions to Millwall, and the bright April day must have been an additional encourage ment. The dockyard gates were blocked up with people cajoling and threatening the gate keepeia to paas them ,• the dockyard itself was in conveniently occupied ; steamboats heeling over into the water lay off at a safe distance; hundreds of small boats skulked about as near the dock- mouth as they dared ; and roofs, roads, yards, and rails on the opposite side were black with spec tators. The interest manifested in the fate of the ship by all classes has been something surprising. Hundreds of persona yesterday had to be refused admission to the dockyards, and some of those who : were fortunate enough to be there had to tussle and coax to get posses ' Rion of the stand-points reserved for favoured individuals. Seldom, piptably, have so many naval and scientific men collected together on a similar occasion. The four "camels," and the six smaller pontoons were well stationed, and the minor auxiliaries, as before, were promptly manned. The bugles blew a quarter of an hour before high water, and imme diately the response came in the battering away of heavy supports and the removal of bl o cks. The men at the hydraulic presses at the bow were look ing for orders to work them, when a slight cheer overhead, from the Northumberland's deck, drew attention to the huge hull. The un initiated, uncertain as to the moaning of these jubilations, looked high and low, little thinking that the ship was slowly moving off. But no one could long remain in doubt of the welcome fact, and then the cheers, intensifying in the yard, infected the people on the river, and set in motion the voices of the thousands on the further shore. Slowly, and very slowly the vessel receded, but with such power that she dragged a monster anchor from her hold far up the yard, threatening a plat form, and the lives of those upon it, with destruction. So gradual, however, was the launch that the chain cable, held as a check, and attached to the anchor, dropped before further mischief was done than the snapping of a few planks, and the scattering to flight numerous ad venturous spectators. The cheering was kept up till the ship was fairly afloat, and creeping in the most harmless manner round the mouth of the dock, into deep safe water. There, ten minutes before the tide was full, she lay very tractable, while sundry small steamers swarmed about her, and puffed and spluttered until the people near were almost suffo , called. Then there was a long last cheer from all carters ; and Admiral Sir John Hay, who, as chairman of the company, had taken the command on the occasion, was shaken by the hand by the delighted personages present who understood the I cleverness and importance of the thing done, and also by other personages who, without such valid reasons, thought hand-shaking was the proper thing to do, and consequently elbowed their way r through the crowd and added their congratulations to the rest. While the yard's people were shooting hither and thither in boats, to pounce upon any fragment of timber that might be escaping to sea, some black little tugs took the Northumberland into custody, and dragged her over to her moorings, where she was soon secured, with her bows towards Greenwich Hospital. Her vast proportions and strange appearance were now very striking ; but it was only when some out ward-bound ship in ballast passed by that her size appeared so unusual. Beautiful she cannot be called, whatever her usefulness may prove. From the bow, along the side, round the circular stern, and back to the bow again, the surface is as smooth as glass, and unbroken by so much as a bit of beading. Her height out of the water, even when she is sunk to her proper depth, and the ram-shaped bow, will render it impossible for any enthusiastic skipper to love the Northum berland better than his wife, as Captain Marryat hints was the case with some of the old-fashioned ships. Nevertheless, she may be looked upon as the pride of the navy, provided, of course, she answer the high expectations formed of her. The Millwall Ironworks Company well deserve all the congratulations they receive. They have built an iron-clad, the workmanship of which is an honour to the manufacturing enterprise of the country, and an eloquent testimonial of their own resources and skill. But, more than that, they have surmounted a difficulty which few could have overcome. It will be not the least remarkable chapter in the history of this enormous vessel, that, half launched, she remained a month on her ways, without receiving or doing the slightest damage. It is only when we remember that the Northumber land is over 9,000 tons dead weight, and that no thing like this burden was ever attempted to be launched before, that it is apparent that few but practical shipwrights can appreciate the feat which was yesterday achieved. It will refresh the memories of our readers to repeat in conclusion that the Northumberland is 400 ft. long, 591 ft. beam, 6,621 tons burden, 1,350 horse power, and will carry 760 men and 26 pro tected guns. She will be taken into the Victoria Docks at high tide to-day to be fitted up, and it is hoped she will be ready for her trial trip in about seven months. LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM. Last evening the fifty-third anniversary festival of this institution took place at the London Tavern, Bishopegate-street, the Duke of WELuxwrosr presiding. Amongst the company present were many gentlemen well known in the City of London for their advocacy of charitable objects, and more especially of the excellent in stitution whose interests were now to be ad vanced. The noble chairman's speech was received with great enthusiasm, and the result of the evening's festivities was that a subscription list was read, amounting in all to about 4.500/., 1,9001. of which was contributed by members of the Stock Exchange. MR. PEABODY AND THE CITIZENS OF LONDON. The following is the address from the citizens of London to Mr. Peabody, which we have already referred to, and that gentleman's reply : London, April 7.

Yesterday the closing ceremony of this exhibition, which had remained open from the Gth of March with un interrupted success, took place. The Guildhall, which looked exceedingly gay in its draperies and flags, setting off to advantage the rich collection of industrial art displayed along the stalls and upon the walls, Us crowded, the majority of the occupiers of sesta being of the gentler sax.

No prizes have been given or awards made but to the actual producers of the articles exhibited in oonformity with role 4." The LORD MATOR then called upon Mr. Peabody. Mr. PEABODY (who was received with great cheering. waving of handkerchiefs, and other demonstrations of re gard), said—Ladies and gentlemen,—l beg to acknowledge with heartfelt gratitude the kind expressions which the Lord Mayor has just uttered in my favour. (Hear, hear.) I assure you no man can feel such language as he has used towards me with more sensibility or more gratitude than I do. (Hear, hear.) And I feel also extremely thankful for and flattered by the kind manner in which you have received those flattering remarks that have emanated from my right honourable friend the Lord Mayor. (Cheers.) Contrary to my expectation, I am able, on the eve of my departure from these shores, to discharge a duty which your kindness has called me to fulfil. (Hear, hear.) Though a stranger to you and of another country, you were pleased to intimate to me that my presence amongst you this day would give you gratification—(cheers)—snd on my part I am bound to say, that whilst 1 have been eon strained to decline many invitation' recently addressed to me, I have reserved to myself with peculiar satisfaction the opportunity of meeting the working men of London, whose representatives you are—(hear, hear)--in the midst of the scene of their honourable rivalry ale! the display of their most meritorious achievements. (Cheers.) Such successful competition as that which meets its due reward this day must be productive of the highest advantage to the people at large—lhear, hear) —and all clauses of the community derive • benefit from the elevating tendency of the persistent industry and skill displayed in the construc tion of these works of art, which are now about to receive the token of public commendation. (Much cheering.) Springing as I do from the people, and owning with you the Anglo-Saxon stock, I unfeignedly rejoice in this fresh evidence of the advancement of the industrial classes in the dignity of labour—(hear, hear)--and in those habits of self-reliance and honest independence, which ennoble any people and affo rd the surest guarantee of the true prosperity and moral greatness of any country. (Hear, bear.) It is true that these prizes which 1 am about to distribute are the just reward of your own personal efforts, but I hope you will allow me to remind you, that in receiving your certificate of undoubted merit, you will accept it also as an acknowledgment made by you in this century which will be repro ductive of good and redound to the advantage of future generations, who must profit by your laudable exertions in the field of scientific research and in the open workshop of a nation's constructive skill. (Loud cheers.) Should the Great Disposer of all events give to me the happiness of returning to this country, 1 hope to see the complete success of projects designed by me for the permanent welfare of the deserving poor of this metro polia—(much cheering)—and I may then enjoy further opportunites of intercourse with those in whose welfare and happines s I have so great an interest. (Renewed cheering.) The distribution of prizes then took place, after which, Mr. Reeves, the treasurer, expressed the pleasure it afforded him to move a vote of thanks to Mr. Peabody for his kindness in ofilciating on the occlude:). The motion having been seconded, was put by the LORD MATOR, and carried by acclamation.
