TO OUR READERS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. A late edition of the Erpnuis hp published every main (luring the racing season, containing the remits of the dad's races. 'far privileged circle of society from which those who administer the affairs of this country are exclusively taken is just now divided between expressions of regret at the cause of Lord BERBERT'i retirement from office, and eager sur mises regarding his successor and the changes which the new appointment may entail. It is certainly a curious fate that within a month the Paierievros Cabinet should be de praved of two of its most distinguished members ; perhaps it is not lees strange, how little their loss appears likely to influence the course of pub lic events, or even the fortune of political parties. Suddenly, and in the vigour of a green old age, the Keeper of the Great Seal is sum- 'Boned to quit for ever the council-chamber of state ; and to-day one of the most youthful and energetic of his colleagues is beckoned away from the scene of his high ambition by an unseen mes senrr, whose warnings ho dare not hesitate to obey. For two years Lord HERBERT has filled the important post of Secretary of State for the Department of War. We have often had to dis cuss the merits of his acts in that capacity ; and now that his political account may be considered closed, we recall with plea sure that often as we have felt it a duty to criticise with severity the deeds of the retiring Minister, we have never had to call in question the high and honourable character of his mo tives. As one of an exclusive caste it would have been unreasonable to expect from him evidences of sympathy for popular rights or per sonal claim% which he had been accustomed to look upon as innovations said encroachments. Lord HSIBIRT was at all times a man to stand by his order and stick to his particular set, but he did so with the gay and genial courage of a well-bred man of the world ; and even where the exigencies et his position or his own instinctive impulses led him into what was wrong, he seldom, if ever, made a personal enemy or inflicted a rankling wound. There was much in common between him and the veteran chief under whom he served, and this is perhaps the foundation of the ill-told story which ascribes to Lord PALBREBToN a poignant expression of his regret at parting with a colleague whom he might naturally have looked upon as, after himself, the person most calculated to lead a Liberal-Con operative party. The public at large will, we fear, form a different estimate of the Ministerial loss, and, in spite of themselves, will be forced to re member that in no such interval of peace in the history of this country has the expenditure of the War Department been so lavish or so large as that during which it was presided over by Lord HIIIRIRT. In the mind of the public the pars mount idea at the present moment is, what chance, if any, have we that s new Secretary of War would prove a more frugal administrator? As for special fitness for the office, we almost despair of seeing any regard whatever paid to that, in the choice about to be made. At the end of a few days of struggle and intrigue the winner will be _ _ duly declared ; and it signifies little or nothing which faded tint, of Whiggery or Peelism, he wears upon his sleeve. If rumour is to be believed, the betting has been from the first on one or other of two Earls, and two near relatives of Peers, all of them either in the Government already, or closely identified with it. As Mr. FAIIIIIN used to say, in Um'', Fw.le—" What does it matter, my " dear f" The Administration has cut down its masts, torn up its flag, and flung its priuciples overboard, and all that remains for it now is to hug the unfriendly shore that frowns more and more darkly on its comae. Into deep water neither captain nor crew have any thought of venturing again ; and troth to say, they could not easily do so now, even if they would. All that remains possible is to keep the pumps going as long as may be, and so to escape being swamped in a shoaling era. The War Department has been suffered to grow to such a size, and tho system of patronage seerzised by it in common with the Home Guards is so ingeniously fashioned to elude responsibility, that we can have very little hope of witnessing any appreciable reform of either under the exist ing regime. If long official experience and phleg matic indifference to small motives constitute any sufficient recommendation, Sir GEORGE LEWTR may perhaps be deemed as unobjectionable as any of the candidates who aspire to the vacant office. We used be at no loss to account for the reason why he should wish to withdraw from the Home De partment at the end of the present session. Which of the eleventh-rate men, as a witty and wicked-tongued ex-Chancellor loves to call the majority of Lord PALREREITON'R colleagues, is to be removed or raised a step gives us little concern. To produce a sensation either painful or pleasurable to the public at large, the PRUE= must repeat the Palmerian operation. He must oak Lord Dsaav to lend him a Secretary of • State, or a Secretary for Ireland, just as he was glad to borrow the other day a Solicitor-GeneraL When the body becomes so torpid, and thu circa- luting stream of life is so languid in the reins, it is sometimes found useful to apply a blister, and, if the first fails, to produce any healthful symptoms THE FIPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1861. Of revulsion, to have recourse to a SeeOnd, or even' a third. We are unable to perceive any evi donee that the recent experiment made upon the dumb and docile followers of the Minister has produced any healthful effect. A few inarticulate moans are all that have reached the ear of the outer world since the whole of the Liberal Bar were contemptuously bidden to stand aside; and we Ahould not be surprised if the colourless men in other departments whom Lord HERBERT'S re signation has tilled with hopes of promotion should prove equally manageable and mute if Lord 1 ALMA:4EON were to beg a Home Secretary ur a secretary for Ireland from Colonel TAYLOR instead of Mr. BRAND.

The question of who shall be the representative for Oxford University, is the event of the Chancellor of the Exchequer retiring in order to oiler himself for South Lancashire when the sew seat is crested, is, it appears, being now seriously taken up. The following circular has been issued : " nalliol College, Oxford, July 10. " It is now generally uodersted that it is the intention of Mr. Gladstone to retire from the representation of the University of Oxford, as soon as the Bill creating • new seat for South Lancashire shall have become law. As opportunity will thus be afforded to members of Convoca tion to vindicate for the university her old character, and to reassert those constitutional principles which, though par tially neutralised of late by personal influence; are, it is believed, still cherished by the majority of her members . Mr. Roundel! Palmer, who has been announced as a candi date, and for whom • canvass has been for some time past tarried on, has now accepted the office of Ooliciter. General ; and, having thus identified himself with the political principles of the present administration, must be considered as coming forward in an entirely new position,. as • member of the liberal party. Under these circumstances, Sir Stafford Northeota, M.A., of Belliol College, has consented to be put in nomi nation aa the conservative candidate. The promises of sup. port which he may receive will probably determine for many years to come the important question whether the University of Oxford is to be • °enumerative constituency or not. " The election will take place immediately after the declaration of a vacancy. Members of Convocation who are prepared to support Sir Stafford Northoote are therefore requested to announce their intention as early as possible. It is hoped that the necessity of a poll may thus be avoided. The majority of reeideuta being absent fur the long vacation, the following gentlemen have consented for the present to receive promises in behalf of Sir Stafford Northoote : The Nev. the President of SL Julia's College ; the Rev. the Warden of All Souls College • the Rev. Profess or Balliol College ; the Rev. P rofessor Manse], St. John's College." . _ _ The Herald says:—" We naderstand that an active pre liminary canvass is being made on behalf of Sir Stafford Northoote, M.P., among the electors of the University of Oxford, on the success of which depends his resignation of his seat for Stamford, which be naturally will not relin quish unless he is assured of success for Oxford. The accept. once of oak* by Mr. Itountlell Palmer has completely altered the state of affairs. Previously to his joining the government Sir Stafford Northcote had refused to allow his name to be brought forward in competition with an old friend profess. log conservative peisciples, but now the question is 0110 of confidence or no ocientlenos in Lord Palmerston 's govern ment." The Jvloa 801 l of this morning says :—" At a meeting of conservative electors, held yesterday afte rnoon i n London, it was unanimously resolved to form a London committee for securing the return of Sir Stafford Northcote, Bart, M.P. foe the University of Oxford, in case of • vacancy occurring in the ruptesentation. A large number of in. Iluentiel members of the university at once offered to serve on hi. committee ; bat it was resolved not to publish any list of names until the Oxford committee were definitely formed, as it was felt that everything should originate in tint university itself. We may state, however, that the num include not only every Oxford man of note on the comervatire side of the bowie, but many London clergy who have hitherto supported Mr. Gladstone. The chairman of of the committee, Mr. W. Denim M.P. for Fist Kent sad the sezretariee ate Mr. Granville Ryder, Mr. A. Sternly Bill, and Yr. G. W. Yount." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. SYRIA. Under tho head of latest intelligence, La Patrk publishes the following intelligence : His Excellency Mond Pacha, who arrived at Beyrout on board the Ottoman steamer Kars, left on the Bth inst. for the Mountain. The members of the European Com mission accompany him to Dair-el-Khaniar, where he will be officially metalled in the presence of the Sheiks of the Manmites, Drums, and other tribes. Three Turkish soldiers having insulted a young girl, Daoud Pacha had them tried by eourt-martial and executed. The troops were drawn up, the sentence reed, and then carried out. An order of the day was then read, in which Daoud Pacha states that the Ottoman army is in Syria to maintain order and tranquillity, and that the severest discipline will be maintained. The scene caused thedeepest impression upon all present. It shows that the representa tive of the Porte understands the full responsibility which weighs upon him as regards Europe. Vely Pacha has received his credentials from Constantino ple, confirming him in his post as Ambassador of the Sublime Porte at Paris. (110TZlea TLLIOILAXS.) ITALY. TURIN, Jots 13.

TURIN, JULY 12, Evionso. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, Signor Minghetti, in replying to questions put by Signori Donato and Romano, acknowl edg ed that public security was seriously compromised in the Neapolitan provinces, but said he was confident that the patriotic sentiments of the people, to gether with the firmness and good intentions f the government and the support of parliament, would lead to a solution of the difficulties. The chamber then adopted the following order of the day : "The chamber having heard the declarations of the ministry, is confident that they will employ all legitimate means to re-establish public security in the Southern Provinces."

Whereas the clients were deceived by these combina tions, the object and result of which was to persuade them of the real existence of a sale which was in fact fictitious, and to make them accept the consequences by inspiring them with the fear of a chimerical event, namely, a fall, which could not by possibility affe:t their securities, be cairm those securities were DO longer in the poueisioD of the said managers ; That in this state of things, some who remained creditors on the balance of their accounts, on the footing of the fictitious sale, received what was coming to them and gave a discharge, and others who were made out debtors paid the amounts apparently due from them ; while some, accepting the accounts rendered, continued their relations with the Whereas it follows from the above state of facts, that in making use of fraudulent raarueurree to create a belief in • chimerical event, Miria and Solar obtained various sums of money from divers persons,and in particular from Duero., Danner, and Martin ; and receipts and discharges from Vis- count d'Aure, Courtoia, Widow Desprea, Delhaye, Petit Jean, and others; and that they thereby swindled (wrap() the whole, or part of, the fortune of the above•namsd persons.

K Casimir Perier now writes to other papers that, under the pretence of delicacy for private indi viduals, the Constitutionnet suppressed the most important part of his letter. He thus restores the pasaage : - A mayor (H. Huot) was dismissed the day before the election for having received me at his house ; a receiver of indirect taxes (H. Chevalier) was suspended because his son-in-law supported me ; an old soldier (M. Yver) was de prived of a tobacco license which bad been granted to him ; and, several days before the election, the prefect took tip his quarters in the principal town of the canton, and went about proclaiming me as an enemy of the government. You are aware that, notwithstanding the prefec toral campaign, which it would show great ignorance of the state of things in France to represent as extra ordinary, K Casimir Perier was elected ; and that, indeed, is an extraordinary fact.

For this comet, though not that of Charles V., is decidedly one of the like kidney as regards wet weather, instead of belonging to the category of those benignant celestial vagrants which, for the last half century, have been asso ciated with genial sunshine and good vintages. But although the comet is fast receding into un fathomable space, the black clouds with which we have been lately but too familiar resumed their place in the heavens this afternoon, and towards o'clock a tremendous thunderstorm occurred, with those vivid flashes of lightning which are the more terrible because they have been more f►tal to human life this year than was ever known before.

(n.o ova OWN PARIS, FRIDAY Evicaso. The following extract from the text of the judg ment in the Mirbs case shows that the special rules of morality which have been so strongly insisted upon as applicable to bankers are not yet adopted by French courts of law. Whereas, in 1856, 1857,1858, and 1863, clients of the Caine Generale dew Chemins de For, to the number of 333, deposited with Mires and Solar, managers of the said canoe, as security for advances to them on account current, wit ritie, (titres), p►yable to bearer, of divers nature and origin. iiherese the greater pert of these securities were laid by the said managers almost as soon as deposited, without the consent of and without notice to the depositors ; That this sale, effected at high prices, which produced a sum of upwards of tan millions of francs, was concealed from the clients,who were, moreover, carefully kept in error by the receipt of periodical accounta,sent to them by the said managers, In which they were debited with interest on the sums advanced to them, and credited with the produce of supposed coupons belonging to securities which no longer existed in the mine. Whereas at the end of April and the beginning of May, 1850, political events having produced a considerable fall at the Bourse, Mires and Solar conceived the common idea, which was carried into execution by Mires, of fraudulently liquidating their situation with regard to their clients, and fictitiously selling at low quotations the securities which they no longer had in their possession, since they had in reality sold them at an antecedent period when prices were high. it - berets, in order to realise this idea, the result of which was intended to be to relieve the managers from the whole or part of their obligations, sad to obtain for their own benefit the difference between the pekes of the real and the fictitious sale, Mir* on April 30 sad May 2 and 3, 1159, addressed a circular letter to the 333 clients who had made deposits with the Caisse, to advise them that under then existing circumstances it appeared prudent to the said managers to sell those securities at the current prices of the day ; that to this letter was appended au account re. presenting • ale with the amount of brokerage paid, end THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON COLONIAL MILITARY RXPENDITURR. This morning the report was published of the select committee appointed to inquire whether any altera tions may be advantageously adopted in regard to the defence of the British dependencies, and the proportions of coat of such defence as now defrayed from imperial and colonial funds respectively. The committee are of opinion, amongst other matters, that no uniform rule as to the cost or mode of their military defence can be laid down which shall be applicable alike to communities so various as those which compose the British colonial empire, but that as to what are calledthe second-class of depeodencies the responsi bility and main cost of their defence properly devolves on the imperial government. The cost of the dependencies pro perly called colonies ought, the committee think, to devolve mainly on themselves. They submit the following further suggestions as arising from the evidence laid before them : That it is inexpedient that the proportions of cost of colonial defence to be borne by the imperial and colonial govern. ments respectively should be the subject of negotiations with the various dependencies, but that evidence has been given tending to show that the mode of proceeding adopted by Lord Grey in 1851, in announcing to the Australian colonies the terms on which alone imperial troops could be sent there, may be gradually applied to other dependencies. That in the ease of the Australian colonies, comprised in the first class, the number of imperial troops, as shown in the above table, ought to be reduced. That with respect to New Zealand, while it may nut be right, under all cir cumstances, to withhold from the settlers in that colony assistance in protecting themselves against the attacks of active tribes, so long as the impenal . government retains a control over native policy ; their principal reliance ought to be on their own resources. That with respect to the South African colonies, and all those similarly ciretun stewed dependencies which contain large European popula tions, their security spied warlike tribes or domestic dis turbances should be provided for, as far as possible, by means of local efforts and local organisation ; and that the main object of any system adopted by this country should be to encourage such efforts, not merely with a view to diminish imperial expenditure, but for the still more im portant purpose of stimulatiug the spirit of self-reliance in colonial communities. That the settlers in South Africa should be called upon to contribute a larger sum than they do at present towards the military expenditure of those colonies. That the expense of the troops in Ceylon should be in a greater degree borne by the colonial treasury. With respect to the West ludic's, in appear' that about 4,200 troops (consisting of European and coloured regiments, in nearly equal proportions), are now maintained there, mainly for the purpose of securing those colonies against internal disorder; that the defence in time of war of these possessions of the British crown, as well as of the other distant colonies, must be pnocipelly naval, and that it is for many reasons inexpedient that the duty of a local police should be performed by scattered detachments of imperial troops, at the cost of this country; it is therefore, in the opinion of your committee, desirable that, due regard being had to the peculiar circumstances of these colonies, the force now maintained in them should be gradually reduced. Your committee are further of opinion that the multiplies. tion of fortified places and the erection of fortifications in distant colonial possessions, such as Mauritius, on • scale requiring for their defence • far greater number of men than could be spared for them in the event of war, involve a me lees expenditure, and fail to provide an efficient protection for places, the defence of which mainly depends on superiority at sea. In conclusion, your committee submit that the tendency of modern warfare is to strike blows at the heart of a hostile power; and that it is therefore desirable to concentrate the troops required for the defence of the United Kingdom as much as possible, and to trust mainly to naval supremacy for securing against foreign aggression the distant depen dencies of the empire.

DE VIDIL. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER BY BARON Our Paris correspondent, writing last evening, says.:—" The member of the Jockey Club, who, as I men. tioned yesterday, has been arrested on a charge of at tempting to murder his son-in-law, is Baron Vidil, for merly attaché to the French embassy at Stockholm. lie was the last baron created by Louis Philippe, and his patent bears date February El, 1848. The circumstances of the crime appear to be very much those which I briefly stated yesterday. Baron Vidil, as guardian to his step-sun, would be liable to amount for and pay over the fortune of the latter on his coming of age, and it was to escape this I liability that he drew the young man to a lone piece in the country, fell upon him, wounded him grievously, and left him for dead on the spot. So far all the accounts I have heard to-day agree. The monstrous deed was perpetrated in England several days ago. The story is that M. Vidil was seen galloping about near Twickenham, inquiring with much apparent distress of mind for his son, who had been making au excursion with him, and whom he had loot ; that the peasants found in the fields a young man, wounded in several places, speechless. The step-father, it is said, sent for medical assistance, and sat by hie victim's bedside for two or three days, when he left, saying that urgent humiliate required his pre. sence in Paris ; and it was after his departure that the youth sufficiently recovered to state the astounding fact that his legal and natural guardian and protector was his would-be murderer. The baron was arrested here pur suant to a telegraphic despatch sent from London by Count de Flahaut. He was arrested the evening before last at the Jockey Club, which was hemmed in by a cordon of police agents to prevent his escape. I hear that Lord Cowley has demanded that the prisoner may be sent to England for trial, the crime having been committed on British soil. I have not before me a copy of the extradition treaty, but I rather think that in the case of a crime com mitted in England by a French subject it is optional with the French government, when the criminal happens to be within French juriadiction, either to try him here, or to hand him over to the English tribunals. In the absence of special reasons for a contrary course, the incline tion of the French government would, I should think, be not to withdraw a French subject from his ' natural judges' —an expression much used in Fiance—and more especially in a case where the victim of the crime is a French subject also. Practically the question of jurisdiction may make a great difference to the prisoner. BealllB, summing the facts as stated, he would be hanged to a certainty by a Bri tish jury, whereas there is no knowing whether a French one, palpitating under the excitement caused by an eloquent speech, might not consider the great need in which the culprit stood of his son-in-law'■ property, as constituting ' extenuating circumstances.' " Young Mr. de Vidil, we hear, though very seriously and almost dangerously cut about the head, is making rapid pro grass, ands likely soon to be convalescent. The whole story (remarks the Times) seems something more like lunacy than a cool attempt at murder. Had the baron accomplished his purpose his detection within twenty four hours wu aa certain as night follows day. This result must have been so obvious, even to the most reckless and desperate of assuains, that there must have been other mo. tives to the crime than the mere enjoyment of the fortune that was to come to the baron on his son's death. THE EXTRAORDINARY _AFFRAY IN THE STRAND. It appears that the wounds of Mr. Roberts are of the most serious character. His skull is fractured in no fewer than three places, while his head and face are covered with terrible wounds, and one finger is broken. Major Murray is perfectly coneciota, and has convened with numerous persons who have visited him at his bed side. When admitted into the hospital Mr. Skegg, the house surgeon, carefully examined his wounds, sad discovered that a bullet still remained in hie neck. To. wards evening Mr. Skegg, with the assistance of Mr. Canton, succeeded in extracting it, and afterwards the patient seemed to be much easier. His escape from imme. diate death is regarded as a miracle. One bullet had ac tually grazed the temple on the right side, leaving a slight wound only, the ball penetrating into the wall of the Nom where the outrage was penetrated. The occurrence naturally created considerable sensation in the neighbourhood, and various extraordinary rumours DM afloat last night as to the cause of the attempted murder. Major Murray, it is said, has volunteered a statement, and that his words were substantially as follows :—" Yes terday morning, shortly before 12, I was walking down Northumberland street, Strand, when I was accosted by • per on whom I had never seen before. He said, Are you not Major Murray? I re plied that I was, and he tn said he wished to make a coin municstion to nie, and invited me into the house. Hol lowed him upstairs to the first-floor and went into a room, and almost immediately afterwards Mr. Roberts fired a pistol at me, the ball of which only grazed my temple. He then fired another, and I felt I was wounded in the neck. I thought he had another pistol, and I fell down sod pre tended to be dead, trying not to breathe. He mine and stood over me, carefully scanning my face to see whether I was alive ; and when be turned from me, believing that be was going to attack me again, I jumped up, seized the poker, and struck him down. When he Walt on the flour I made ray maps through the window, and niade my way into the mat lease, believing all the people in the house where I first went were my eoemies." Then is reason to believe that the above statement is true with the exception of the part stating Major Murray sod Mr. Roberta to have been strangers to each other. Upon that point there are grave doubts, and it is cordidently stated that they had had many monetary transactions together; and that in fact an alienation upon money matters tint led to the hostile position assumed by Mr. Roberta. About 1 oclock yesterday afternoon, Superintendent Durkin waited on Mr. Currie, the sitting magistrate at the Bow-street Police-court, and made a communication, in consequence of which Mr. Corrie, accompanied by Mr. Ihir naby, the chief clerk, proceeded to the Channg.crces Hos pital to take the deposition of Major Murray. 1)r. Canton, however, informed his worship that the patient was not in a position to make any deposition. In consequence of this representation Mr. Currie abandoned for the present the idea of taking the depositions. Mr. Canton, however, undertook that if Major Murray should appear to be sink ing he would communicate with the magistrate, in order that the deposition might be taken. It appeared that., though the iumatee of the house (North umberland-chambers, 16, Notthumberlandatreet) betel the sound of pistols, they paid no attention to it, as it was iv, unusual circumstance. For two months past Mr. Roberts . , bad been in the habit of firing pistols in his rooms. It would now seem that he must have been practising with ball, as one of the marble jambe of the chimney-piece is much disfigured by bullet-marks. There is also a bullet hole in the wall immediately adjoining. Just uader the portion of the wall which is thus marked is a pool of clotted blood, marking the spot where Major Murray fell from the effect of the first shot. The bullet marks on the marble and in the wall do not appear to be recent. The spot where the major fell if close to the escritoire (here after alluded to), and diagonally opposite to the window from which the major ultimately escaped. Under the ;vie. dow is a heap of books, paper*, fragments of broken funoi. Lure, and pictures, all saturated with blood and wine. Among this heap were the remains of two broken wiva bottles,which Major Murray bad smashed upon the Lead of Mr. Roberta. Another bottle net broken, but smeared with blood, had apparently been used in the same manor. Mr. Roberta' chambers consist of two apartments, a biro drawing room in front with three windows looking into Northumberland-street, and ► smaller (back) sitting nom. with two windows overlooking the yard. A handsome ormulu writing table, at which Major Murray must have been sitting, has its baize.eovenal top broken away from the frame, and pushed all away. The beck of a chair is wrenched almost away from the seat. The drawer of another table has been pulled out and dashed to pieces. though the table itself is untouched. The tongs, with which the severest injuries had been inflicted on Mr. Roberta were broken into half-a-dozen pieces. The window from which Major Murray escaped was nearly 20 feet from the ground. Close by the window is a wooden water pipe, 1 1 which he must have descended. At about five feet helve the window the pipe turns off at an angle, and proceeds almost perpendicularly by an adjoining wall. On this per tion are distinct foot marks. From this point he must bass leaped or dropped about 15 feet to the ground.
