The installation of Lord Palmeruton as Constable of Dover Castle and Lord Warden, Chancellor, and Admiral of the Cinque Ports, took place yesterday at Dover with many of the ancient usages and customs, and amidst a scene of universal rejoicing. The event attracted an immense number of visitors from the other of the Cinque Ports and their various dependeucies, as well as from the more distant parts of the counties of Kent and Sussex ; and excursion trains brought Lime parties of sightseers from the metro polis. Seldom has the town before hied au largea population as that which yesterelay,filled its houses and thronged its :areas. From the "Lad Warden" downwards, every hotel and tavern bail more than its fall complement of guests, and late corners had to content themselves with very insuffi cient accommodation for a night's repose, although paying for it an exorbitant price. Triumphal arches, with words of welcome to the new Lord Warden, were erected in con spicuous positions, and a profusion of bright-coloured flag and tastefully arranged wreaths bedecked the streets in al, directions. Business operations were almost entirely sus pended, am' the day was observed as a general holdiday ; in short, Dover did its best to give Lord Palmerston an ovation such as was received by none of his pre. detessors fur nearly a hundred years The weather was magnificent, the sun shining with great bril liancy and power during the whole day, and rendering locomotion as the exposed heights of Dover extremely fatiguing. The proceedings commenced by the Cinque Porta Volunteers, to the number of about 800, assembling at the Victoria-crescent shortly after 11 in the morning, and marching to the New Parade-ground beyond the Castle. They formed in line, with the band of the 3rd Boils in the metre, and in that position received Lord Palmerston, who arrived from Widmer Castle shortly before ono o'clock, and was received with enthusiastic ap plause from the large concourse of spetatore who had col lected ou the ground. The Premier, who appeared to beim the enjoyment of robust health, rode on horseback,and wore the simple uniform of the Constable of Dover Castle, con- Bistros of a blue dress coot with scarlet collar and cuffs, with the order of the Garter upon his breast. He was accompa nied by Colonel M`Murdo, lnspector-sseneeal a v o lunte e r s ; Lieutenant-Colonel Luard, Assistant-lnspector ; Brigadier ceneml (Maack, Commandant of the Garrison; Lord Ekho, M.P., who wore the Lerida Scottish uniform; thellom Wm. Cowper, M.P., and Col. Cripple, who woman mounted. The mayors of the different towns within the jurisdiction of the Cirque Ports, attended by their recorders and mace-bearers, came upon the field in carriages. Fore most among them was the Mayor of Dover, Mr. Birming ham, formerly the popular host of the Ship Hotel, and now presiding over the deniers' of a more famous hostelry, the Lord Warden. He was accompanied by Mr. Bodkin, the recorder of the borough, and a corporate officer who carried the celebrated horn which in pest centuries summoned the corporation together, but seemed too huge to be blown by own of ordinary stamina of the present age. A procession was then formed, and proceeded to the Drop Redoubt on Bredenstone-hill, where the Court of Shepway was held iu a neatly constructed marquee. The chair for the Lord Warden was pl rad on I missed dais eat the end ; th Seneschal, who is also the town clerk of Dover, oat at a table before it, and on each side were benches for the barons, mayees, Militia, and junta, &c., of the Cinque Ports and their " members." Lord Pahneratoo reached the place about half-past 3 o'clock, and was loudly cheered on entering and taking his seat. The crier made a proclamation beginning "Oh, yes—oh, yes," and requesting all the barons, mayors, be., to cone for ward in obedience to the mandate of the Lord Warden. The Seneschal then read the mandate, which required their personal attendance on that day ou that spot, when his lordship intended to take upon himself the duties of his office. The Mayor of Hastings was first required to bring in his return, and this having been produced and read, the other mayors in proper succession presented theirs, and the 'coached having announced that all the returns had been duly received,with the exception of that from " Fordwich," dud ared the court properly constituted. Lord Patinniserox earl—l now declare that, having been nominated by her most gracious Majesty to the office of comilable of the Cade of Dover, Lad-Warden, Admiral, and Chancellor of the Cinque Ports, two ancient towns and their members, an office vacant by the lamented death of the most noble the Marquis of Dalhousie, I have sum mooed a grand court of Shepway, pursuant to ancient usage and custom, on entering on the office aforesaid, and is testimony of my intention I request that my patent of aloe be read by the seneschal. The patent having been read accordingly, The MATOft of HTTHE, PA the " Speaker " of the day, said that formerly the Lord Warden wa s asked to take an oath to preserve inviolate the ancient cluitome and privileges of the Cinque Ports, but Lv reason of changes during the lapse of time it bad boon deemed expedseut to depart from that practice, sad only to ask his lordship to take upon himself the hueourelole once of Lord Warden, and to take charge of all the Cinque forts and their members. Lord I'ALIIIKIMTOD—I have great pleasure in accepting the office conferred upon me by the Yucca, a selection which has bees ratified by this court ; and I shall deem it my duty to fulfil all that belougs to that ancient and honourable office. (Loud cheers.) The booming of cannon, upon a given signal, proclaimed his lordship's acceptance of the office to the town. Dr. PIMA-MOM then addressed the Lord Warden in a very flattering speech ; Lord Palmerston returning a brief reply. The Mayor of Dover invited Lord Palmerston to a ban quet to be given in Lis honour that evening by the cor poration, as invitation which his lordship expressed hie gratification in accepting. Before leaving the ground be examined the Braden stone, on which the Lord Wardens were sworn in former ages. It consists of a large piece of thick Roman pavement, composed of flint and lime, end baa recently been dug out of the earth in which it has been embedded for many centuries. His lordship then rode down to the Lord Warden Hotel, where he temained until the time for departure for the eveniog's entertainment. The banquet was given in the Maison Dien, a large noble ball, forming part of the original hospital of that name, founded by Hubert de Burgh, constable of Dover elude in the reign of King John. The bnildieg, which belongs to the corporation, has recently been restored and decorated at considerable expense. The arms of the principal Lord Warden. are emblazoned on the walls, on which are also portraits, and trophies of ancient armour. Three tables running from end to end of the hall, with one at the top, were laid for about 40t) meta. The dinner, which was of • sumptuous description, was provided by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion. The Mayor of Dover (Mr. BIRMINGHAM) presided, having on his right Lord Palinerston. and on his left General Sir John Burgoyne. There were also at the heed table the Bight Hon. W. F. Cowper, M.P., General Sir John Bur goyne, Lonl Clarence Paget, Lord Echo, M.P., Hon. Sir John D. Bligb. X.C.B , no.. G. Le,lio Wu!decreed., Boa. General D.leiel, Goosed Garret:l, Mr. Bodkin, the Re corder, &c. The twat of "The Queen" area drunk with all the honour*. The next toasts were " The Prince Consort, Prince of sod the rest of the Royal Family ;" "The Army, Navy, sod Volunteers." . General Sir John Burgoyne replied on the pert of the army, Lord Clarence rept for the navy, and Colonel M'Slurdo for the volunteers. The " Archbishop of Canterbury and the clergy," followed. The MAYOR then, in an appropriate speech, pmrisNl the toast of the evening, "The Constable of Dover Castle, and the Lonl Warden of the Cinque Poets," which was drunk with great enthusiasm. Lord PALWERNTON, who was received with great and prolonged &indium, raid :—Mr. Mayor, my lords, and gen tlemen, it is not really one of those common-place expres sions which are usual on these occasions if I my that no words MI sdomately express the smallest portion of the gratitude which I feel for the hind, the warm, sad cordial reception which I have met with, not only in this hall, but in every part of the precincts of Dover, in which we have plumed, to me, a most magnificent day. (Cheers.) That man indeed most have a been ea hard sad as cold es the chalk diets on which your castle stands if he were Wean sails of the warm and heartfelt demowetratiosa of oonlad good-will which I have had the happinem this day to receive from so large • number of my fellow-countrymen. Heel indeed, gentlemen, that the only claim which I can have to that gaud-will which has been so kindly and frankly dir played must Le my good intention to serve my country— (loud cheers)—my attachment to, and respect for, that country—and my opinion, it may be prejudice to the mind. of some men, imbibed from my earliest years, and strengthened and confirmed as years have rolled on, that my fellow-countrymen, taken as a oration, have not their equals on the face of the earth. (Loud cheers.) I wish you to receive that communication as a confidential one— (laughter)—because I fear if it were to go abroad it might do me some harm. (Continued laughter.) Well, gentlemen, I feel that h av i ng accepted au o ffi ce of high antiquity and of great honour and distinction, which has beets held before me, I believe, by 118 distinguished men, and some of them the most distinguished which this country has prodweel, 1 feel that some explanation is due on my part for the temporory delay which has taken pima in filling this office up. The fact is, that when the vacancy occurred , het Majesty was graciously pleased to signify to me her in- Marion to confer that office on me. I deemed it my ditty respectfully to state, that 1 thought myself bound in the first place to ascertain whether it was an office which it was expedient to keep up, or whether, under the altered circum. stances is which it was placed, it was au office which might be abolished. I therefore took time to bemire, and I soon found that though undoubtedly the office had bees shorn of many of its former attributes and powers, yet it was nevertheless interwoven with the organiaation of the ancient seaports, and I thought that the abolition of the office would Le tantamount to altering alto gather, if not destroying that ancient constitution ; and knowing, as I do, the deep-rooted and honourable attach meut which the people of the Cinque Ports feel for their ancient institutione, I felt that it was right that the office should be continued, and I availed myself of the gracious intention of her Majesty by accepting, as it bud been pro. posed to me, the office of Lord Warden. (Loud cheers.) There was nevertheless a delay, for though the salary has disappeared—(laughter)—there are in the patent, as those who heard it read this moruiug must remember, certain words of "flotsam," "jetsam,' "lagan,' and similar terms, which imply some probability of profit— (laughter)—and, therefore, the acceptance of the office affected my seat in the House of Commons, and it would not have been convenient, with a view to the despatch of public business, that I should vacate my seat by accepting the office until the Easter recess came. That, therefore, gentlemen, I beg to state ; and no disparagement of the dignity of the office, no undervaluing of the honour it con. ferred, was the cause of the apparent hesitation in filling this office up. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen. I honour the people of the seaports for their attachment to this ancient constitution. (Cheers.) There is nothing that more digni fies men than clinging to ancient and honourable tradition. (Cheers.) All patriotism, like charity, ought to begin at home. A man should begin life by loving his home and his family. He should then love his town and his district. He should next love his county ; and if he does this I need not say he will love his country. (Cheers.) So far from these local attachments narrowing the minds of men, or coufiniog or debasing their associations, they are the real and true staple foundations of those enlarged and honourable (oxbow' which attach men to thenations and countries to which they belong. Gentlemen, in former times, as hon. members well said, these cioque ports furnished materials for the defence of the country. They were bound to put afloat 57 vessels with certain crews when the conutry was in danger. As has been well observed by my noble friend Lord C. Paget, you are now relieved from that local burden, and you have put you shoulders to the wheel is common with the rest of your fellow countrymen to furnish that magnificent fleet which he has just said is equal, and I may say superior teeny in the world. (Hear, bear.) But we have seen to-day that though you don't pat crews on board ship you put soldiers on year turf—(mar, bear)—that you now furnish as with volunteers as you were formerly bound to furnish 57 ships ; and it was • most gratifying sight to see, as we did to-day, among grey coats, red coats, and the dark coloured dress of the urinary, blue jackets performing their evolutions with as much regularity and precision as land troops. We have seen our brave seamen and fishermen on our coasts en rolling themselves in the service of their country, and when called upon do on the coasts them duties the value of which any enemy would too well appreciate. (Cheer.) My gallant friend Colonel M'Murdo has told you that the events which have recently passed in America are valuable lessons to other countries, and true is that observation. We have seen by the example of what has passed there that you may collect thousands of men together and put uniforms on their backs and muskets in their hands, but you do not thereby make them soldiers. (Hear.) There must be discipline. It is not enough that there should be individual bravery. Our cowing in America, as individual men, are as brave as any who tread the surface of the earth. (Cheers.) They are of the same stuff as ourselves. (Cheers.) They are descended from the same parents, animated by the same spirit, and prepared to encounter equal dangers. (Hear, bear.) They are as brave as any men in the world, bat when these brave men in thousands got together, each having confidence in himself no doubt, but not feeling that confidence in his comrades which a knowledge of their disci plieeand military instruction can aloneconvey, they exhibited to the world that unfortunate rapid movement--(laughter) —that of Bull's Run, which is no disparagement to the bravery and valour of their army, but is a lesson w Bich night to be learnt and remembered by all, namely, that discipline and training are necessary to make an army stand in the field. (Hear, hear.) I say that others may profit by that lesson. It is not wanted for the volunteers of England, because they had be. fore that event, by their own sagacity, submitted them. selves to military instruction, and rapidly acquired all that knowledge which is essential to military organisation; and I heard Colonel M`ifordo state some months ago, at the public dieser in London, that 30,000 or 40,000 out of the 150,000 volunteers were in a state of efficiency fitting them to do duty with troops of the hoe. Since that time the 150,000 has increased, I believe, to 170,000, and there can be no doubt that if their services were wanted, that number would rapidly increase to any extent to which arms, ammunition, officers, and other ma terials could be provided. (Hear, bear.) I thiuk that the volunteer movement is the moat honourable event recorded in the history of any nation. (Hear, hear.) If we bad had, as was the case in former times, large armies and great fleets collected on neighbouring shores, and threatening weekly invasion of this country, it would sot have been surprising—it • would have been surprising if it had been otherwise—if hun dreds and thousands of men had started up and asked for arms, instruction, and organisation, and formed them selves into volunteer corps, as was the case in former ware ; but there was no such cause. There was on the part of the peeps of this country • sagacious consciousness that our means of defence were not such as they ought to be. It was felt that beyond • certain amount of deeding army in the time of peace there was an ind i sposition on the part of the people to furnish supplies for • larger number—that we could not expect to rival those governments and nations which had hundreds of thousands of men constantly armed within their limits. The people of this country felt that our regular army and' militia, excellent es these forces were, were still short of that which might by possibility) be required, and by spontaneous, and I may almost say, by as instinc tive movement of mind not suggested by the government, but arising from the spontaneous feeling, judg ment, and public spirit of the nation itself, there started into life that magnificent force of which we have seen • portion today. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I trust that that ore-enmities will be so engrafted is the minds of Englishmen, and so familiar to them in its exercise that no circumstance will ever induce the people to give it up, and that no consideration of economy, or of any other descrip• tion will induce the government or parliament to refuse those incites which are necessary for its efficiency. (Cheers.) We cannot expect to cope with them great states that have hundreds and thousands of oleo. We accept with frank ness, we accept with confidence the right hand of friendship which may be tendered to us, and we do not distrait that. tender because we see the left heed grasping the hilt of the sword; but while Hutt left hand does grasp the hilt of the sword it would be folly for us to throw away the shield (Stamped, id. Additional.) [TWOPENt E of dolma. Mood cheers.) Gentlemen, there are two securities for pesos the one is in per fect insignificanoe ; the other is in • state of perfect power for defence. (Cheers.) The security which arises from insignificance England will of course neverenjoy. (Laughter, and cheers.) The security which arises from a state of perfect defence, unconnected with any notions of aggression, not employed hastily against any one, but continued solely and mainly with a determination to defend and maintain what we have—that security I trust this country will long continue to hold, and so far from that being a reason why tho most friendly relations should not be maintain.l with every foreign power in the world in my opinion, on the contrary, it is the only true stable, and secure foundation on which those friendly rela tions and peace can for any length of time be main tained. I beg to return you, Mr. Mayor, my lord and gentlemen, my most heartfelt thanks fer the honour you have done me, and to assure you that I shall ever consider this day, which has now drawn to a close, one of the proudest in the whole course of my life. (Loud cheers.) "The House of Lords," to which the Hon. G. WALDEGRAVE replied; "The Horse of Commons," "The Mayor," proposed by Lord PALMER Brow, and several other toasts, including "The Ladies," were given, and warmly responded to before the company broke up, shortly before ten o'olock. The town in many parte was brilliantly illuminated, and all the main streets were thronged by people. By the excellence of the rurangementa on the South Eastern Railway the whole of the immense additional pas senger tratbc wu conducted without any confusion or mishap whatever—a reenit owing greatly to the untiring exertions of Mr. Eborall, the traffic manager, and Mr. Knight, one of the superintendents of the line. THE DISCOVERY OF OIL SPRINGS IN AMERICA. Numerous alvicea appear to confirm the great value of the oil springs lately discovered in the United States and Canada. The question as to the duration of their yield remains to be settled, bat it seems probable that owing to the extent of the regions in which they are found, the supply will lust many years, and that • proper organi sation of railway facilities will alone be needed to cause the production to be amongst the moat important in ' , modern commerce. In the United States the prin. doll deposits are understood to be close tot sta tion on a new railway—the Atlantic and Great Western —which will render their conveyance to New York comparatively inexpensive. In Canada they are about 12 miles from the Wyoming Station of the Great Western of Canada Railway, and some arrangements will be necessary for the transit over that distance, the existing roads being of the worst description. At the site of the principal well. the ground was two years ago covered by an almost un. broken forest. Now there is a resident and constantly iucreasing population of upwards of 500. During last winter the coaches took an average of 50 people daily to the spot from Wyoming, and many bought land and re ' mained. There are several inns filled to overflowing. Two good hotels are iu course of erection. Houses and shanties are rising ou all aides, and the greatest activity is everywhere apparent. At present there are about 100 well. iu fiill operation, all yielding otl. The laud is held in large blocks, the owner leasing acres and half acres fur 99 years. The terms ustudlyare 300 dole. for the privilege and one-third of the oil drawn from the wells. The wells are sunk and cribbed to • depth of from SO to 60 feet till the ruck is numbed. In many cases surface oil is found before reaching the reek, but it is of rather inferior quality and doubtful yield. After arriving at the reek, the wells through the with being from 4 to 7 feet square, they drill to a depth of from 40 to 70 feet, between which distances oil is almost sure to be discovered. Wooden tanks varying from 500 to 2,000 gallons capacity, are constructed! close to each welL The oil is pumped into there, and afterwards drawn off into barrels to he sent to market. The cost of a well is very small. Pattie* are in the district making contracts for sinsiug wells. Their charge is for sinking through the earth 24 dole. per foot, and for drilling through the rock 2i dole. per foot.

GOLD DISCOVERIES IN NOVA SCOTIA. Further gold discoveries, more remunerative than this» first announced, appear to have been nude in Nova Scotia. The Halifax C l / 4 runicle of the Ott UM, contains the following amount of their pwition, which is near Lunenbiug, and has been designated " The Ovens": _ . . Considerable excitement bad been caused, and difficuL ties bad crises among the adventurers who had gathered i time. Some members of the Nova Scotia government went duels to restore order, but tumid the trimints as reported bad been greatly niaguified. Regulations were prepared for the management of the • diggings,' and all parties are now working harmoniously. Mr. W. Cunard, of liable; among others. visited • The Ovens' by the Nimble. and returned with the party. The beach washings are yielding very &bun. &idly. One man by the crudest utechinery washes los. of gold a day out of the sand on the seaside. " Lots are laid off 33 by 30 feet. Mr. Cunard, we under- stand, took up 70 iota, mostly is the rear, paying at the rate of 51. fur each as a yearly rental He returned home with the party on Sunday evening, bringing sonic beautiful specimee; about the else of what is commonly called duck shot, only flatter and all kinds of Ampex, more re sembling slugs than shot. We saw a small phial of these, heavy as so much quicksilver, in Mr. Canard's possession, pihered by himself, though somewhat intermixed with dust and gravel. Lest evening Mr. Cunard left Again with one of his own steamers fully equipped for operations, taking a house frame, 20 feet square, all fitted, a picked met of men, a dredging machine, and every imaginable appliance. About 150 men are busy at these diggings, and 200 lots have been already disposed of. From the lay of the laud, it is sup- Vcoast tliat they extend for fully a couple of miles along " There seems to be ao longer room for doubt of the value and richness of the gold deposits in Nova Scotia. The miners at Tangier, which is perhaps 60 or 80 miles from ' The Ovens.' are said to be doing well" EXPLORATION OF LABRADOR.—TiIe expedition which was sent out in June under the auspices of the Cana dian government has returned. The party consisted of Pro fessor Hind, of Toronto ; blesses. Omelet and Coyle'', from the Crown Lands department ; and Mr. W. Hind, who landed at the mouth of the Moisie Liver on the 6th of June. A few days afterwards they set out in canoes for the bead waters of that river, which is suppceed to take its rise from Likes on the summit plateau of Labrador. la three weeks the expedition re.icheila puiut wr noir the height of hind that the canoes, although not drawing morn than six inches of water, were unable to noosed any farther. The country is described as very nionataiuous, soil to a great extent adj. tuts of trees. The Moinie River is a rapid torrent, absolutely unnavigable for canoes or other craft. The route some. quently lay through an ancient path, long pursued by the Indians, from the interior to the coast. It follows • chain of snudl lakes exteuiling from the main brunch of the Maisie to the east Manch of the same river, thence to the height of land. The entire plateau of Labrador, which is vary broad will uniform, is full of large and the rivers flow for more that three hundred miles on this plateau or table-laud into the Atlantic ou the north-east coast of Labrador, having a general direction parallel to that of the coast on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The information which has boco ob tained by this expedition respectiug the hitherto unknown interior of Labrador will be an additiou to our goopraphical knowledge of British North America of much intermit.— Ca Radian New. Dix Dzoi.—Good sport, we aro glad to hear, is being lied iu the forests. From ltalniacaan we learn that on the l9th the Earl of Sea field brought down a flue stag of fully 164. in the Iker Forest. On Saturday his lonbhip and party brought down three stags and three roe—all in flue condition. In the forest of lilenavrn. on the 20th and 23rd, Lord Henry Rentiock killed six fioe ,tap—tbree of them, un the latter day, at " one stalk." A royal stag also fell to his l ordship's rifle on Saturday. Lord March has brought down five or six line stags in Gleididdoch during the week.

In this emergency a contractor gent in a tender to lit out the whole force at a very moderate figure. The contract is placed among the aims' archives.

The National Association of Germany has jest hold two sittings at Heidelberg, under the presi dency of Kde Beuningsen. That gentleman, in a speech which was much applauded, expressed the hope that at no distant date the - Germans would be able to exttud a fraternal hand to Austria ; but he recommended the association not, for the present, to meddle in the affairs of that empire, because they were not sufficiently known. In spite, how ever, of that recommendation, M. Menge, of Bonn, presented a motion declaring that the united Aus trian monarchy, based on the diploma and patent of October and February, is in contradiction with the German federal law. The motion was rejected by a large majority. AY IRISH INCENDIARY. The correspondent of the Irish Times, writing from Milliner. on the Stith iost., says :—"An unusual stir was created in this town to-day by the arrival at the county gaol, under aponstabulary escort, of Captain Sjdney Smyth, tau anise innate gentleman whoop eccentric career has just culminated in the total destruction of his brother's re eideuce, with all the furniture and property it contained. Your readers will not have forgotten the description of the burning of Perth& Castle, which appeared on the 20th Jul;., nor the extraordinary circtunatatices attending it. The castle, a very pretty structure, situate on the shore of Porthek Bay—a beautiful inlet of Lough Ree—end dis tant about two miles from the village of Glanuo, in 'Westmeath, was the residence of Captain Robert Smyth, D.L. His brother, Captain Sydney Smyth, the author of this terrible calamity, who had been same time since con fined in a lunatic asylum, resided with him until lately, and was treated with much kindness. The marriage of his elder brother, however, appeared to have produced a most unfavourable effect on the mind of the latter, who refused to live at thecaatle any longer, and betook himself to tome friends in the county Itosoommon, meditating revenge for some fancied grievance. Au opportunity coon presented Welt of mrrying out his intentions, of which he was not slow to avail himself ; sod the blackened ruins of what was once l'ortlick Wills testify to the completeness with which has desire was fulfilled.
