ROYAL INC r. -PR 0 FESS 0 R PARA- DAPS LECTUR e. Professor Faraday delivered the second course of Intern on electricity to • juvenile audience, yesterday afternoon, at the Royal Institution. The breech of the 'abject to which he directed attention was the consideration of the characters of the electric force. Ile emeamold by showing experimentally that electricity repels ea well as atimeta, and that when • light substance has had a charge el electricity imparted to it by contact with an excited glass rod, it la afterwards recoiled by the glass instead of being attracted, and that it continues to fly from the glass until It has touched some other body, and thus been deprived of its electricity. He then showed that a rthatance repelled by an excited glue rod is attracted by sealing wax, gulls percher, or sulphur, when excited. Them different sakes of electric force were illustrated by • variety of ethsthasats, in which Protestor Faraday mods use of several toys ss parts of his apparatus. The experiment that gave mod pleasure to the younger part of the seance was me with the dims of a Samoa= with a basket containing • number of paper SA man bus bud, which dew away In all directions whim abs was placed on an Insulated steed and electrified. The Vactions of the force produced b the friction of = ( that exerted by the fr iction o f sealing wax, p that thereon two ldnds of electricity, each of which attracts Os ether, bet repel. itself ; and Professor Faraday showed OM they bass the power of apparently annihilating each other. Than for example, two large metallic balls were sus • pedal espeetely by silk Maims to insulate them, and one was electrified emotively by touching ft with the coating of a Lryden_lar, sad the other was charged positively from the hags. either ball was brought separately near the slsetressekr the gold leaves diverged, indicating that both were slestricel; but, after the bells had been brought into confect, as trees of electricity was perceptible. Another ex - =still more striking, was the following : —A small up was doted on to the top of a rod of shell-lac, and the rod wee tailed round in it, whilst held tight. By this action a immtity of simericity was generated, but so keg as the cep rensanad me the rod there was no indication of its memo • the Inearat, however, that the cup arm withdrawn, , both the kennel sled ths shell-lac acted strongly on the gold Levan Oa being placed together again their combined AIM comisisly sientraltrad each other, and the gold leaves rem iced mellemsel. Profeasor Faraday said there could be no doubt, him this, opposite manifestations of force, that the sischichiss In the flannel and in the shell-lac were dif head, and he sheald call them the two electric:thee. At one Yea ha was of opinion there might be an intermediate oleo , trio andition, but his investigauons had needed to show that threw only two. Notwithstanding the different character tea electricity generated by glees from that generated by -lac, yet the same substance say, tads conditions, produce the opposite electrkitles. This fact was illustrated by • remarkable experiment, the rationale of which is not yet understood. The gold haves ei the electrometer having been meth to diverge with posi tive electricity by the friction of a glees rod, the owe rod ma heated in the dame of spirits, and when again rubbed three or four time.. its approach to the electrometer made the gold leaves collapse, proving that it had become nega tively electrified ; bat, after having been briskly rubbed, its original povitive position was restored, and the gold leaves dived still farther as it wth brought near them. Professor Ihniy said that it might be thought strange that he should thus bring before the notioe of his juvenile audience an ex periment which he could not himself understand, but he thought it desirable that Wtheayy should know there are pheno mena in electricity the eluMsem of which is yet to be ao omplished, and that they were all philosophers working I for the discovery of truth.—/ber. Tl?e 'e l r iall was crowded nearly as soon as the doors were opmed.

THE EXPRESS. FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1, 1858. Elliott said that the office was closed, and the money was received only to oblige the people,who left it without having a receipt. Thai might call for that in the regular office hours. No money was paid out at that time. Mr. Combs said It was evident to him that there was some thing like a conspiracy between the two in can on this loan society ; and when Mr. Firth went to mats inquiries about the poor widow's they assaulted him. He should commit them both f or trial at the sewing sessions. Bed WsatelidTiei -- Mr. Combo requested our reporter to eclosewledge the re ceipt of two guineas from " ft. M. 8.," for the poor-box of this court. Mr. John Waller, the at the Anchor Brewery, Russell-street, Chelsea, appeared before Mr. Payn ter to answer a summons charging him with triaging to pay s cab fare. Wiliam Chandler, a cab-driver, badge No. 8,934, deposed that about a quarter to six o'clock on the evening of the 23.1 ult., the defendant hired his cab from the rank at the Bell and Horns, Brompton. He drove him and a friend first to the Anchor Brewery thence to the Biz Bells, in the King's-road, Chelsea, to Queen-street, Chelsea, next to the Orove-road, Pimlico thence to Royal-street, Stannic, afterwards to Orch ard-street, Oxford-street, thence to Battersea-bridge, and lastly to the Anchor Brewery, in Russell-street , Witness set them down at nine end be charged 10e. The defendant was distributing geese at the different places for Christmas boxes, and he waited altogether one hour and fifty minute.. He considered the distance was either twelve or thirteen miles. TIM defendant, in answer ' stated that they were eat down at the brewery at eight o'clock, and therefore when the cab man demanded 10e. he thought It wee a age sum for the time. He contended that the dietaries was not more than ten miles, and the cabman only waited three-quarters of an hour. !dr. Payntm wished to know how the cabman proved it was nine o'clock when he set down his peesengers P The witness laid directly he left the brewery he went to the that public-home and looked at the clock. lie asked the defendant to look at his watch, but he refused, and ordered him oat of the aloe. Thedeiendarit declared that there were two watches looked at, and the time was only eight o'clock. He then called Mr. George Moon, the collector at the Anchor Brewery, who stated that he accompanied Mr. Waller, and could prove that it was only eight o'clock when they were set down. He also stated that the cabman did not wait more than an hour at the extreme. Mr. icyntir then rid the driver maw have travelled the whole dietanoe In a little more than an hour. He thought It was impossible that he could have driven ten miles an hour. - 16 defendant said he did travel at the rate of ten miles an how, and his worship would see that, according to the evidence of the cabman, he only allowed himself one hour and twenty minutes for the twelve miles. He (the defendant) would, however, like to settle the case that day, and had no objection to give the man fie. Mr. Poynter was about to suggest that sum, as it was a very difficult question to decide, and was only Berry he could not 'mettle it more satisfactorily. The defendant then paid the 84., and 6e. costs. U7i'IVIRSITY INTZLLIGENCIL CAMBRIDGE, Dim 31.

CRUSADE AGAIRBT IMMORALITY IX Br. J.ANBI, 8. Yesterday, at a special weekly meeting of the parochial Whys of St. Pancras, held in the Vestry Hall, Cam en Town, Mr. Churchwarden WYATT 112 the chair, a communication wee 'waived from the vestry of Bt. James's perish, requesting the co-operation, at a proposed conference of the other metropolitan parochial representatives, for the purpose of taking active and immediate measures for putting down serest prostitution, brothels, and any other public scandals and Immoral practices, at present openly carried on in the metropolis, especially in the neighbourhood of Regest-dresi. Mr. ALLEN thought this a very proper proposal, for it was intended to endeavour to supprem a great nuisance in one district of the metropolis without at the some time driving the evil into other perishes. He thought this was a very wise waned conduct on the part of Bt. James's parish, and he Mr. All®) begged to move the appointment of three from that parish to attend the conference in St. James's. (Hear, hear) Mr. Churchwarden ATTIINE0101:011 IMOCIded the motion. Mr. Hours considered that the evil complained of in St. James's existed to as great an extent in the Regent's•park and Camden-town. (" Hear" and laughter.) Mr. ARIA urged that it was impossible to oppose such an enormous evil, which not only existed in the metropolis, but in every city and town throughout the world. (Laughter.) Mr. BRETTINORAY gave • similar opi nion , end other member of the board, Including the Rev. H. Relett, thought that the proceedings would be only a waste of time. Mr. ALLaN reminded the board that according to the law of the land, when called upon they were bound to prose cute, as the perochlid authorities, in all cases of immorality end vice. (Hear, hoar.) Mr. FAIRER remarked that the prevention of immorality in one district only drove the unfortunate people concerned into other districts. Such had been the case with the prete ntious which bad been instituted against homes In Norton street, the occupants having migrated to St. John's-wood. He thought no good could be effected unless such a police system as that pursued in Paris was adopted. (Hem, hear.) Some further discussion followed, when the appointment of the three delegates was agreed to, and Mums. Eckert, Wyatt, and Cameron were directed to attend the conference and report the result. ILABIBIL COTTON.—Ltriaroo4 Duo. 31.—Since the reduction of the Bank rate there has been a strong and active demand for all qualities and descriptions of cotton, principally from the trade, bat some Investments have also been made on ape. isolation. The advance in prioes since oar last circular amounts to from O. to Id. per lb., applying to all qualities of American cotton, as yam to Sures, Breslin, Egyptians, and Sea Islands. Of the lower qualities of American, from middling downwards, avoiding the extremely dusty and in ferior sorts, there is a very limited selection offering for sale, and the advance obtained in there has in many inatances been much more marked than in the "middling fair" and "fair " qualities, of which the early imports are always so largelToompeeed. We now place " middling" Uplands, 6 1-18 d. ; Mobile, 6 3-18 d. ; and Orleans, 6 6-16 d. The com mittee of brokers place " fair " Uplands, 6 6-18 d. ; Mobile, 7-18 d. ; and Orleans, at 61(1. From America there is little of novelty ; the estimates of crop are generally the some, but not exceeding si millions of bales. 4,660 Ameri can and 670 Surat are reported to have been taken on specs laths ; 1,140 American, 670 Surat, and 170 Bengal for ex port ; so that the deliveries to the trade for the week have been about 32,700 bales. The business to-day is estimated at 12,000 bales, 4,000 being on speculation and for export, the market closing very firm at our quotations. To-morrow, Jan. 1, and Elegarday, 2nd, will be kept close holidays. COTTON GOODS. Mstecuerres, Dec. 31. New Year's day being • holiday the market was held this morning. The symptoms of returning confidence mentioned on Tuesday are still perceptible, and though there in not much illeftela of business prices an steadier, and more cheerfulness prevails. There is • moderate demand for long and 1' cloths, with prices rather over the lowest recently current, but heavy cloth is difficult to sell. The* is rather more inquiry for printing cloths, and more business has been done in both 40-inch and 36. inch ehirtings. In 40-inch a much larger business might be done, if manufacturers were les firm in trying for higher rates, most of them being unwilling to take extended con tracts at present rates. In yarns there is much leis irregu larity in prime since Tuesday, and more business has been dec., on rather better terms, especially in 20'. to 30's water in war and bundle, and in the medium counts of cops pre pared f or the German markets. The market for both cloth and yarn closes rather firmer. WOOL AND WORSTED.BRADFORD, Drc. 31. — There is some slight improvement in the demand for bright hatred wools and for Lincolnshire' hogs and withers, and • rather better price is obtained ; but for coburg and other wools we cannot note my improvement in either prices or demand. There Is no desire, however, at present to push business. Holders are rather inclined to see what the year will bring in the way of improved prospects. N o or i Z brokes are of dull sale, and prices ere nominal. In yarns the business continues limited, and prices so unremunemtive that spinners keep curtailing their productions to shelter them 'elves from loss. As usual at the close of the year, the mer chants are not busy. There are, however, several London buyers in the town looking for anything cheap. The stooks held by me chants are unusually low, and the same applies to grey goods, so that ere long we may hope for more active dotage. There is a more cheerful tone apparent. We have also more inquiry for goods for the spring trade.

Lead CAMPBILL &livered an address of some length, in which ha diumureed if the Scottish universities and their historical renown, naming the distirqruished men who, in past sad preeent times, have done honour especuely to the University of Edinburili. He express& himbelf in [scour of a due mixture of tie tutorial and professorial systems, and of the creation of law chairs for some modern branches d of science, particulsrlyfor geology and medical jurispru ence. Tli te e d following resoluta= were subsequently proposed and ado by the month; "That the tmiversthes of Scotland, in their present con dition, de not afford aufficent encouragement to the attain ment of high excellentes ix literature and philosophy, end that it is matter of nand concern that they be strength ened and improved, no ea o enable them to meet the exigen cis of the times, and enter successfully into comp eti tion with other great schools of learning. "That, while it is desiraide that measures be adopted with a view to raise the standard and to increase the efficiency of probasorial instruction, it I in the highest degree important that these objects should be ?Anted in such a manner am to preserve t That te b diatinctive t er . t a lr of the Sc Increase b o e ttish =l e to'versill the enn: en dowments of such eniting professorships as are not at premed adequately 'tainting! and also that retiring allowances be provided to eget an d infirm professors. " That it is expedient that new professorships be estab lished in some departments of pnbhc instruction of obvious utility and importance which are not at present provided for. " That it Is desirable that the graduates of each university should have some share in in government, and that they should, by this and other mein% be led to retain a permanent interest in is prosperity and advancement. " That it would tend greatly to the benefit of our universi ties were an improved system of examinations adopted, with a view better to test the progress of the students, and to enhance the value of dqrrees. " That, in order to give addition': vine to university de grees, as wall as to increase the adleiency of professorial instruction, where that may be found necessary, some en dowments are desirable for &Wilma. to the professors in certain of the existing chairs, such anistants to be selected from among the graduates. " That the Association for the Improvement and Exten sion of the Scottish Univenities hos already been the means of calling public attention to the defective condition of theme institutions, and that the favour with which the views thus advocated have been received, both in England and in Scot land, justifies the hope that, at no distant date, these efforts may lead to most beueficht pactiod rotolta" THE PL4182191F AND VIOTOILA MCI MISSION' SCHOOLS. It may be remembered that the Bishop of London lent June presided over a meeting at Rokeby-house, Strat ford, to promote the schools sad missionary establishments ' in Hallsville, new the Victoria Dock,. The bantling in which one of the two schools fee establiahed was originally an American bowling-alley, long, low, and narrow, and sar i rounded by one of the filthy open sewers which form the characteristic of this piece. It was the resort of all the wont character@ in that locality, when gambling, drunkenness, broil% end profanity, wive more common than anything else. " Yet out of this seething min of vice and immorality," says an official report, " the missionary clergy have already gathered attentive congregations, and filled the temporary school to overflowing. The children are obliged to sit and stand by turns ; the discipline, teaching, and order in these school might well be envied in more favoured places." On Christmas Eve the children attending the Bowl ing-alley School were entertained with sea, cake, and bread and butter, through the bounty of Miss Bur dett Coutes, the most liberal supporter of the Plaistow Mis sion. The Rev. Mr. Meyrick took the whole charge of the entertainment, and his arrangements were admirable. The Bowling-alley was fresh whitewashed and papered for the occasion, and tastefully decorated with flowers. The cleanly end orderly behaviour of the children elicited the warmest encomiums of all present, and reflected the greatest credit upon Mr. Gilbert, the talented master, and Mire Banks, the indefatigable mistress. Mies Contts was accompanied by Lady Falmouth. Mies Brown, and the Rev. T. F. Stooks ! the secretary of the London Diocesan Church Building Society, which society has urchasd a rite in Belleville for the W" new sad granted 2001. towards ereetiaa. Thee guests were received by the Rev. R. W. B. Marsh, the incumbent of the parish, by the Rev. MIGIiOS Meyrick, the missionary clergy man appoiseed by the bishop to the cure of that part of Mr. Marsh's district wherein the Yowling-alley is situated, and by the Rev. H. Douglas, the missionary clergyman of the district more immediately contiguous to the docks. There were also present the Rey. A. J. Ram, vicar of West Ham and Rural Dean; Antonio Brady, Esq., the originator of the misidon ; the Rev. A. W. Mason, the secretary to the mission ; and 60 or 60 other ladies and gentlemen. A lane ' free church near the dock gates is nearly finished, and Mr. Douglas hopes to have service in it the first or second week in the new per. The dock authorities have not only sub welted liberally bat have promised to have the dock gates kept open dari ng the tiros of divine service, that the crews of the ship may attend, to fix up printed notices of the hours of service, and to supply them to each ship on arriving. AU the seats will be flee. Plans have been prepared by Masan. Banks and Barry, the architects, for extensive schools, to be also used for short torsion, until a permanent church can be built in Hal/a ville. An interesting fact connected with the Bowling alley is, that when the Rev. R. W. B. Marsh stepped in and hired it, a colony of Mormon' was in treaty for it. On the last night of the old year the parents of the school children, and many other inhabitants of Hannille, were regaled in the Bowling-elley with a substantial dinner of good old English fare, aim through the bounty of Mies Burdett Coatis. Our readers will be glad to hear that the Lord Bishop of London has signified his intention of opening is person the iron church, width Is an bat finished. His lord ship will preach in favour of the Plaistow Mission Fund, and doe notice will be given by advertisement. DIVORCR OP MISSIONARY CONTENTS IN CABS OP POLroeir It is well known that the Rev.

Newbon and Son, solicitors. He was acquainted with • young widow, who had recently been left with three chil dren, and a few days ago she obtained a situation in a gen tleman's family in Lancashire, but had not the means to pro ceed to her destination.

She gave her address, end paid a shilling out of the only half-crown she had in the world for inquiry money, and was told that she should have an answer on Satur day morning. Witness at once saw through the aff.dr, as ft was not likely that any one, much less a loan society, would lend 31. without security to a female who was going nearly 200 miles in the country . F inding that no person from the loan society celled on Saturday, he was persuaded that the poor widow was done out of her shilling, conasquently on that evening witness went to 15, New-cut, where he found the " Temperance Loan SodeW' held in the kitchen. Mr. Combs caked him what his object was in going there P Witness replied that he conaidered the widow had been done out of her shilling, and ho went there to get the names of the puttee, with a view of suing them in the county court. He acted merely on public grounds to prevent the frequent impositions practised by loan societies. It was between live and six o'clock when he knocked at the street door, which was opened by a young female. He then inquired of her for the proprietors of the Temperance Loan Society, which was held in that house. She left him at the door, and another honk came up from the kitchen, and on his asking her a question of the Dame kind she attempted to stint door, but he put hie foot against it to prevent her.

On referring to Lest Settle day's shipping list, we and that there are :—Ships of war 11. ' of an arrttregate burthen of 13,690 tons ; Peninsular and Oriental Company's Steamers 3, of an aggregate burthen of 3,679 tons; commercial steamers 16, of an aggregate bur hen of 11,464 tool; English vessels 88, of an aggregate berth= of 64,636 tons; American vessels 6, of an aggregate burthen of 28,834 tons; French Teasels 18, of an aggregate burthen 8,292 tons; Arab vessels 17, of an aggregate burthan of 9,397 Was; Sardinian vessels 2, of an aggregate burthen of 718 toes; Norwegian vessel 1, of an aggregate burthen of 332 tons; Belem vessel 1, of an aggregate burthen of 302 tons; Hamburg vessel 1, of an aggregate burthen of 346 tons. Total 192 ships. Aggregate tons 141,680. This of course is Inclusive of the steam tugs, the number of which is rapidly increasing. Considering that many of the English vessels and steamers are not regular traders with this port, and that they were solely engaged for the conveyance of troops, it would appear that a considerable portion of the export trade of this country Is taken up by foreign tonnage, thus affording a convincing proof of the beneficial effects of free trade, and the °attenuant extension of commercial relations with foreign countrite. It will, however, be obtained that the number of American Teem* loading almost exclusively on account of our trans-Atlantic brethren is predominant.—Chkeetta Eng lishman, Nov. 24. THE Inox num.—The preliminary meeting of the ironmastors of South Staffoidahire was held at Dudley on Thursday.
