At this stage of the proceedir.ge a deputation of graduates of the university presented an sedreas to the Chancellor awl Senate—a copy of which appeared in the Express of yesterday. The CHANCELLOR, in replying, said—" Gentlemen, —la the name of the Senate, I beg to IMITO you that we have received with much satisfaction the address you have presented to us. This university owes its establish ment to the rccognition of • great principle—the obli galas of rendering academical honours motieible, without distinctim, to every elms and to every denemivation. (Cheers.) We should have ill discharged the teak entrusted to as, of giving practical effect to this principle, bed we not regarded it as our par.mount duty to conks our degrees on such principles ae should secure to them an honourable place in public estimation. We therefore devoted originally much time and attention to Ute system of examinations we were called upon to institute, snit we have had the satisfac ti . n of finding that the emulations we adopted received, in the ant unlearn, the approval of those engaged in conduit hag education in the colleges, and that the graduates of the tutiversitykave now coins forward to record their approbation of them. (Loud cheers.) We have also the additional satisfaction of knowing, that, In any fastanoes, the credit of those degrees we were empowered to confer his been upheld by the subsequent distributions, and by the high professional character of those who have obtained them. (Hear, hear.) Tie number of degrees we have an nually to confer his now become considerable, and have therefore no hesitation in agreeing with you that it is desirable that henceforward an opportunity should annually be offered of conferring them in public, and I anticipate that this annual ceremony will in various ways conduce to the advantage of the university. (Cheers.) It was unques tionably the intention of the founders of this university that it Amid take a high place among the great edacational in mitutiose of this country, and this object must ever he kept steadily in view by all connected with it. But in order that this end may be attained, not only is an enlarged view of what is demanded from it r geisha on the part of the senate, together with prudence and judgment in administering the affairs of the university, but its future progress mast alto materially depend upon the wisdom and energy displayed in the management of the colleges connected with us, and most of all, I may venture to say, will it depend on the future career of yen who have obtained your degrees, by whom conduct and attainments and reputation is the world the public will most assuredly form Sr estimate of the value and utility of the university itself." The deputation then withdrew, and the proceedings ter minated. ANTI-STATE-CHURCH ASSOCIATION.

TM. special's place of worship was densely crowded oa tits motion. Oa tho motion of Mr. C. Otuqn, Mr. (tassel Morley war naaniaously called osi to preside. The CHAIRMAN expressed his unabated anidesee in those who were entrusted with the guidance of tho association. The priaciple of the emaciation was that all tegialatioa by a secular authority In matters of relief's wee en infringement of the liberty of onseleaco, sad sea trary to the word of God. Hence they sought to dimly, that most prominent embodiment of this legislative inter hallos, the COl/1107.100 of the church with the state. It was only by the aid of public opinion that this conli be effected. Ho held the union of church and state to be no lees opposed to civil liberty than to religious freedom. (Applause.) The Rev.

Hitherto nonconformity had beea slaping,—drommiag that groat results would work out themselves. The AntbStato Church Association had roused it to a proper degree of activity. la another respect progress bad been made ; the young and rang malaistry were impressed with the importance of vigor ously seeertiag the principles of the association. (Applause.) The Rev. W. GRIFFITH, one of the expelled Wesleyan ministers, seconded the resolution. After alluding to his own sufferings from aciesisatical despotism, he expressed his belief that the sep woman of church and state would be the work of no eminent men or class of men, but of the people at large, who, when thoroughly indoctrinated with the principles of voluntaryism, would rise as one man and demand the removal of the evil. (Applause.) The resolution was then put, and unanimously agreed to, as was each oldie succeeding ones. Mr. 0. THOMPSON, M.P., was loudly cheered on rising to move the wooed resolution. Ho held that all religious establisbassats, all cuspuleory payments and larcrurnent agencies, all agencies between the state and religion, were &hal, coatrary to the universal and inalienable rights of mankind. (Applauee.) He must congratulate the associa tion on everything being , auspicious; y thing, both Ia and out of the church, segued the speedy downfall of that machinery which had been nut up for interested and political =His resolution referred to that colonel abomb ' he Irish church, which war more than uultristiaa— it was inhuman.

(Hear, hear.) There was the suoceesor of the ap,.sties, with his splendid eqaipage drawing 10,0001. a year from the miserable people, In the name of him who amplified the five barley loaves to feed the poor. (Hear, hear.) The church stood to the Irish people in the posi• ion of Devoe to Laguna ; the church was not sup ported for the good of the people, but the people were allowed to exist for the benefit of the church. (Cheers.) He lamented and reprobated the shameless recreant:, of the government on this question, who had made it the stalking hone to power more than once. (Hear, hoar.) Lord John Russell (hisses), more than any other man, bad exposed the iniquities of that church; but it was before the seals of office glistered in his eyes, before he became the patron of 200 church livings in England and Inland. (Cheers.) The only qualification for a bishrp had been declared by hie lordship, when in opposition, to be that his political creed should square with that of the ruling party ; he had also denounced this overgrown incomes of the Irish hierarchy; but since acceding to °tea he had done nothing to abate that nuisance. A GIDITLEXAN in the body of the chapel said the government could not possibly carry any measure for reform of the Irish church, until they were backed by a House of Commons elocted by universal suffrage. Mr. THOMPSON said that was quite true; but the ems. plaint against Lord J. Rumen was, that he had continually agitated the question when in opposition, in parliaments lees disposed to carry it ; and, on coming into office, when touched by the torpedo baud of patron e, he had refused to meddle with the question. (Hear, hear.) There were 2,030 parishes in Intend, 16.5 of which were without a church, and had not a single protestant inhabl- , tent ; in 895 parishes the protestaata did not number 50. Of 1,385 benefices, 233 had under 50 protestants in each. Of 300 cathedral dignitaries,l7l were sinecures. Of these the lieu of Ranh** received 1,491 a year ; the Precentor of Unwire, 4481.; and the Archdeacon of Meath, 7311. a year ; without any duties whatever to perform, there being no protestant souls to " cure." There were priests, but co people ; ministers, but no altars ; shepherd?, but no fl mks; salaries, but no services ; wages, but no work; aloes and rich emoluments, but no duties attached. (Cheers.) He concluded by moving: " That in the judgment of this meeting the existence of the Protestant Episcopal Effablishment in Ireland is not only objectionable, u violating the principles of religion and jus tics, but is indefensible on almost every plea usually urged in rapport of an establishment ; that It is the church, not of the poor, but of the rich ; not of the many, but of the few, and those fee comprising the wealthiest of the community ; that its clergy receive, in many instances, large emoluments without rendering any service, while the people repudiate its histnietion, and resist its authority; tel it has inflicted irrepszable injury on the interests of true religion, and that its abolition is imperatively demanded, not merely to satisfy the requirements ofjestioe, but to rescue our common Chris tianity from disgrace." The Rev. JOSEPH FLETCHER seconded the resolu tion. He denounced the Irish church as as " organised by. powisy ;" and observed that the poor Roman catholic@ raised by voluntary efforts for the support of their own religion a UM nearly equal to the whole revenues of the established church. (Cheers.) The Rev. JOHN WAITE moved : That inaemueh siltisresoTvetfic aim at accomplishing the object of the association by such means only as are peace. ful and conatitntional.(and that object, must be ultimately elected by an ant of the legislature, this meeting earnestly commends to the friends of the Association the necessity of turning their immediate attention to the increase and faith fal use of their electoral power. That it urges upon them to avail themselves of every opening which the existing re presentative system presents, for giving a more 'disgusts parliamentary expression to the object they have in view, by a systematic practice of placing on the register the names of such as poem a claim to vote, by extending:in every comity the number of forty-shilling freeholders, and by actively co operating with say movement having the approval of their judgment, for strengthening the position of this question in the Hoses of Commons." Mr. E. liIALL, is seconding the resolution, expressed his regret at the absence, through illness, of their treasurer, Dr. Price. He attributed the present positioa of the question to the apathy of its professed supporters, who were very enthu siastic in public meetings, but extremely cautious at all other times. (Hear.) The proceedings were closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

The Lord Bishop of NORWICH moved the adoption of the report in an eloquent and effective address. After paying a just tribute to the merits of his venerable predioseor, Bishop Stanley, he concluded by saying, let them send the Bible to Spain, India, Chine, New Zeeland, Rome ; but the object that ought to be nearest to the heart, above all things to excite their zeal sad entlinsisam, was the circulation of the Bible in England. (Cheers,) His Exoellency the AMBRICAN MINISTER seconded the resolution. The CHATRYAN wee about to put the resolution, when a gentleman rose on the platform and Intimated his desire to bring under the notice of the meeting the extremely low rate of wages paid by the society to the binders an others whom it employed in the preparation of its Bibles. His lordship said it would lb* impossible to discuss such a question in • committee of 3,000 members of the society, and he could not therefore accept the amendment. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Capttin PARRNHAM, R N., in an interesting and amusing speech, in the course of which he detailed the pro- gross of the society in Tuscany, and the history of his own ex. pulsion from Fl mince, proposed the second resolution, declar ing that, on a review of the owlets's labours, all its friewls might well feel encouraged and strengthened to go forward in their undertaking, humbly depending upon the continu ance of God's goodness to uphold and prosper the work of their hands upon them. The Marquis of CHOLMONDELBY seconded the reso lution, and it was further supported by the Rev. Dr. Ar ober, of Oland= Chapel, in • speech as realm kable for its liberality of spirit as its eloquence and force. . . The resolution wu earned saanisnously, as were four °then of a complimentary character, the advocacy of which occupied the meeting for saw hours. RAGGED SCHOOL Yesterday the fifth annual meeting of the Lamb and Flag Rigged School was held at the Parochial School Room, Amwell-strest, Pentonville; the Right Rev. the Bishop of NORWICH in the shah. A number of children belonging to these schools were seated on benches behind the chair. The business of the meeting was opened by prayer, which was followed by • hymn from the children. The meeting was very largely attends d. To. Right Rev. CHAIRMAN observed that he could not but allude to the auspicious event of that day in the birth of • prince, who he hoped when he grew up would become the patron of the institution of ragged schools, and thus cement that union which he trusted would always exist between the Sovereign and the poorest of her subjects. He was fully aware of the importance of thi as schwas to the class for which they were designed, as he was convinced that they would accomplish the great object they have in view, which was to raise the moral character of the children who attended these institutions. He was happy to be informed that an infant and adult *vexing school were also established, which he had been assured had fully answered the expectations of the promoters of them. HU lordship read a letter which had been received from the mother of three children who went to the ragged school, and in it she expressed her acknowledgment to the teachers for the great moral and intellectual improvement that had been effected in her children by the discipline of the scheol. She observed that she could not punish her children more than by keeping them away from the school. The right rev. prelate stated that the most encouraging reports were given of the progress of the schools, which was an answer to the charges that had been made against these institutions. His lordship concluded by observing that the parents were in debted to the teachers for the improvement of their children. The SECRETARY then read the report, " which would be found at least as favourable as any of its predecessors." The report then went on to state the great benefits which ragged schools were likely to confer on society, and to regret that they had not received that support and sym pathy from the public which they so much deemed. " That want of sympathy," Paid the report, has been most powerfully alluded to by the Daily News, whose columns are always open to the cause of ragged schools. (Hear, hear.) There were on the books of the day school, during the past year, 193 boys and 178 girls.total 371: the average daily attendance was 148. Of these 181 could read well the Old sad New Testament ; the remainder could read a little. Forty could write well on copy books, and 96 could write well on elates; 82 understood common arithmetic, 35 girls could sew well, and 60 were learning to sew. Upwards of 120 garments were made in the schools during the past year. The average daily attendance in the infant school was 70. The average attendance in the Sunday school was 146, and the number on the books 296 boys and girls. The avenge attendance in the evening school was 81 ; the number on the books, male and female, was 152. Of these 62 could road with various degrees of proficiency, but the success dike evening school was much unpaired for want of teachers. During the year there was an attendants, in all the schools of 888, giving an average attendance of 435, being an increase of 150 upon the last return. The clothing fund stood as follows : deposits received from 165 depositors since the commencement, 441. 10s. lid. ; bonus of 4d. in the shilling added by the omen tee, 121. 4.. Bd. ; total, 661. 14s. 91d. The whole of this cam was applied to the purposes of clothing under the care of the la dies committee, and the working of the clothing fund showed that It generated habits of econom. The committee stated that they " felt indebted to the Daily News for the (avowable notice taken of the schools, and to the editors of the Daily News and Morning Advertiser they are still more indebted for a gratuitous publication in their advertising columns of nearly the whole of the report 0(1848." The committee, in contusion, stated that they challenged the writers of certain letters in the Morning Chronicle, who designated ragged 'shoots as " nurseries for crime," to test the of that statement by a rigid in enction of the schools. The Rev. Mr. Wild moved, and the Rev. Mr. Faulkner seconded, the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. Mr. J. Payne mend • reeelution to the Whet that ngged schools had man than realised the expestadmis of their promoters, and that they would be real =to the poor.

The town council of this borough were engaged, at their gauntly meeting today, in discussion upon two questions which have an Interest bee ond the teen limits of the borough—police efliedeney, sad employment of prisoners —and a few facts which came out in the course of the ro ceedisp may be worthy of a place is your columns. The lice fora of this borough has been established and brought into a high state of eMeiency under the vigilant and wove superintenienos of the watch commit!'" of the town °pencil, but during the riots and threatened dis turbances by the chartists 11 1848, an increase of numbers having taken place, an effort has been making by the banner of several wards in the borough, through memorials and other representations of the council, to get the number of the police reduced. As in the augmentations which have been made from time to thus of oar naval and military fortes when foreign aggressions have seemed imminent, it is no easy matter, however, to bring about reduction when the cause for increase has pawed away. The question has drawn from the watch committee, and from Capt. Willie (the chief constable) two el a b ora t e en d rather interesting reports to the council, which were pre sented this morning. The report dwells upon the neeessity for a proper security for person and property, and the committee say they " cannot but believe that cousiderable surprise will be experienced by many who have not previously inquired into the subject, when they find that for this vast ' end important borough embracing en area of 8 2.3 mile", and • population of upwards of 300,000 inha bitants, there are really on duty during the day, seldom more, and often much f ewer , t h an 40 men." The report goes on to say that " there is en important table in the report of the chief constable, from which it appears that nearly double the number of person, are apprehended for offences committed during the day than are committed during the night ;" and that " this tact suggests the inquiry whether the increase of crime—which appears to be in the same proportion as the diminution in the number of constables on duty—does not arise from the compara tive want of inspection and protection during the day as compared with the night ?" The whole police force of the borough, it appear', consists of 446 parsons, which are divided into • night and day police; and to show the necessity which exists for a large force rather than a smaller, the committee say " If any evi dence were en; i.ired to satisfy the most sceptical, it will be found in the miming fact that during the past month there have bees in the A Division alone Let fewer than 201 sepa rate applications for the special service of the police, requir ing the attendance of 360 men; and that daring the same period there have been at the several stations throughout the borough not fewer than 469 such applications, which would require the assistance of not fewer than 741 c notables." The chief constable's return shows a considerable deposes, both in offences and offenders, during the past year. In prisoners there is • diminution of 1,690 person', equal to 26.3 per cent.; and in the number committed for trial there is a diminution of 175, or 21.2 per cent. The number of persons apprehended in the last ear was 4,687 ; discharged, 1,726 summarily convic'ed, 2 34 ; committed for trial, 660; t ri ed and convicted, 627. The coat of the police during the last year, including 22 supernumeraries, amounted to 26,9271., or 671. Bs. 3d per head, which is • very low go rate of expenditure. The presentation of a report on the completion of the new borough gaol, drew forth • remonstrance from Mr. Coun cillor Heywood that a description of crank wheel had been introduced, at which the prisoners were set to work without producing anything useful, and without their being enabled to earn anything towards the expense of their keep. It appeared, however, from the statement of Mr. Adahead, that though the working of this wheel (which by an icge- Diong contrivance may be adapted to the personal strength of the prisoners, and to record, the number of revolutions made upon it), does not prove directly remunerative, it is indirectly so, for it induces a great number of profligate cha racters who prefer the gaol to the workhouse to keep clear of the prisons in which the wheels are need. Alderman Neild stated that it was found scores of men left the workhouse in this union and committed offenct 1 to get into prison, because they preferred the treatment and food they got in the gaol; and Mr. Councillor Ashmore told a story of a man now in the Manchester new gaol who said the work at this wheel had reduced his weight 14 lbs., and who threatened that so soon as he bad served his time, he would remove himself and family from such an inhuman neighbourhood! EXTRAORDDIARY APPETITE FOR A TITLE. The Lord Mayor received the following very re markable letter, which was soon followed up by another, from one of the mayors whom be had invited to the banquet at the Mansion House which Prince Albert lately honoured with his presence ; " April 27, 1850. " My Lord Mayor,—Permit me to introduce myself as the mayor (for the current year ending on the 9th of November neat) of the town and county of the town of —, comprieing a population of about 7,000, and embracing altogether or in port four parishes, having a lord lieutenant, a separate commission of the peace, and a court of general quarter sessions of its own. I am the oldest representative of my family on both sides, ancient, and who were of local importance ; and I am a professional man. Your lordship's card of invitation to meet his Royal Highness Prince Albert on the 21st ultimo only reached me by post at nine o'clock on the previous Saturday night, the 16th ult., too late to take any step in relation thereto until the following Monday morning. Believing that my accepting the high honour intended for the corpora tion might naturally and reasonably involve a liberal sub scription towards the promotion of his Royal Highness's novel and grand design, I on that point alone sought the sense and required the authority of the members of the town council, which with some difficulty 1 at length got together, and The result of a lengthened deliberation was an unani mous desire that I should with carte blanche, accept the honour and hasten to town. Upon considering the details, I found that I was at the Ten! h hour,' and that in order to reach town' in time' I should have to post it for 160 miles at the rate of 10 miles an hour, including stoppages, to be at Gloucester in time for a London train ; and being also uncertain as to the nature and extent of personal preparatim to visit the Mansion - house , I felt—we all felt—and with extreme regret, that it was 'impossible.' 1 had the honour of a note also from your lordship, stating that my card of admission would be left at your porter's lodge for me on my arrival, and which came too late for me even to reach London in time. I beg leave also to say that eight days before I received my card an announcement appeared in the Carmarthen Journal of the receipt of his card by the mayor of that borough. Ac cident, therefore, and only accident, prevented this town and county being represented at your lordship's dinner. Having just been informed that the honour of knighthood is to be offered to &limited number of those mayors who actually dined at your lordship's table on that occasion, and that amongst them will be included all the mayors of town and county,' this being we of only two or three of the same description in the realm, leads me to address your lordship with the foregoing statement, and to express • hope that through your lord ship's influence and ripreseentatione, will be considered as if it had been actually represented on the occasion re ferred to.—l have the honour to be, Ac. Ac. "The Lord Mayor of London." Two days afterwards the Lord Mayor received the follow ing letter from the same gentleman. " April 29, 1830. " My Lord Mayor,—ln my letter to your lordship on Saturday, I stated the population of this borough in 1340. It is now estimated at 9,000. —ls the Lord Lieutenant, and the representative in parliament. There must have been some oversight or neglect in forwarding to me your lordship's card of invitation. Had I received it only impost sooner I would moat certainly have been present at the din ner. This plain is miles from London, and no railway nearer than Gloucester, which is distant. I understan d that Berwick-upon-Tweed is the only borough in the realm in all respects like this, and entitled to precedence over all others except those which are cities also. If your lordship find that there has been some mistake on the part of your officials, in regard to this borough, I can only express a hope that it will not us prejudiced thereby. My year's allowance as the mayor is only 301., and if it had not been for the chance of toeing placed in a cul-de sae as to • subscription, and the uncertaility as to the disposition of many of our town oouncillors, in bearing out my conduct in that respect, I would most certainly have gone up to town at once . at my own 'apemen. Pardon air, my lord, for thus troubling you again, and I have the honour to subscribe myself, your lord ship's most obedient servant. " Right Hon. T. Farncombe, Lord Mayor of London."
