Oxford has not been slow in emulating the goo d example of Cambridge. It was on ly the other I tri day that the latter University offered its tardy butes of honour b y robin g w i th a scarlet gown, and crowning with a velvet cap, and endowing with the mystic initials of D.C.L. one of the most vener able and illustrious men now living, the ex-Chan cellor, Lord BROUGHAM. It was only yesterday that similar marks of respect were conferred at last by the former University upon our veteran Premier, Lord PALMERSTON. How ever it should have been left for Oxford thus only in 1862 to proffer her homage to Viscount PALMERSTON. and for Cam bridge also thus only in 1862 to proffer her homage to Baron BROUGHAM, cannot but remain to us a matte r of absolute astonishment. It seems so late in the day for either institution to recognise re spectively the genius and the civism of these re markable men —.men whose names have been con spicuously emblazoned among the worthies of the last two generations, and whose achievements have constituted not the least notable items recorded among our national annals for the last half century ! Strange and unaccountable though this long oversight on the part of Cam- --,_ .....---- bridge, in regard to Lord BROUGHAM, and on the part of Oxford in regard to Lord PALMERSTON—the fact in each instance has been signalised unmistakeably by the very circumstance that these two veteran celebrities have at length been enrolled among the D.C.L.'s of a younger generation. Their reception by that younger generation, by those undergraduates who are the grandsons of the earlier contemporaries of Lord BROTGHAM and of Lord PALMERSTON, cannot possibly have been otherwise than productive to each of those eminent men of feelings of intense gratification. It must have assured them beyond any doubt of the fact that their fair fame has indeed, daring the lapse of these years, so far from fading away, ripened and mellowed, and, so far as that might come to be the case, perfected. Both Lord PALMERSTON and Lord BROUGHAM have at any rate had proof positive brought to their knowledge, in the ringing cheers that wel- corned the one at Oxford and the other previously at Cambridge, that their careers are in truth ap- -- - preciated, and that their reputations are dear to their fellow-countrymen. The ovation accorded to the Prime Minister yesterday in the old Sheldonian Theatre at Ox- ford was—as such ovations necessarily are when thus tardily received—like an anticipation of the approval of posterity. It was a welcome nobly deserved, and one that we doubt not was tho roughly enjoyed by its recipient. As a sober sequel to the enthusiastic greeting of the undergraduates came the presentation of of the address to Lord PALMERSTON later on in the afternoon, at the Town Hall of the city of Oxford, by the Corporation. That address was of itself a most gratifying tribute, which declared, among other things, to Lord PALMERSTON—" As representatives of all classes of the citizens, and gratefully acknowledging the blessings of national peace and pro sperity, we feel certain that we ex press the feelings of the whole country, that it is owing to the wisdom, vigour, and firmness which distinguish your lordship's administration that we h ave escaped a participation in those calamities and horrors with which other parts of the world have been afflicted, and at the same time have maintained unimpaired our relations with foreign Powers. It is the deep sense which we entertain of the obligation the whole nation is under to your lordship that has moved our Council, composed of all parties, to this unanimous expression of our feelings." Town and Gown have thus, therefore, together, given an ovation to Lord PALMERSTON. It rather tends to enhance the value of the academic tribute of respect and admiration accorded in the earlier part of yesterday to our veteran Premier in the Sheldonian Theatre, that the roof beams there do annually echo back from the under graduates' gallery so many home truths, expressed in the homeliest vernacular, and upon subjects so various in their character ; wide as the poles asunder ; trivial and momentous ; ranging " from grave to gay, from lively to severe ;" jumping in many an odd and instantaneous step from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again ! Of these distinctive peculiarities of Commemoration-day down at Oxford, yesterday afforded those who assisted at it many an apt illustration. " Folly as it flies" was shot, there and then, unerringly by many a random shaft discharged from that noisy and hilarious throng of undergraduates. Popu larities and unpopularities were "ventilated" in rapid succession, and were each in turn greeted very much, indeed, as they deserved. It was noticeable thus, from the loyal cries that were the signals for the first display of anything like hearty enthu siasm—the names of " The QUEEN," of " The Tufince oflVales," and of the /air young .ortuv-xri only the day before, " The Princess ALlcz" down through all that wonderful and motley catalogue which followed —a catalogue of names renowned or notorious, emincnt or ridiculous. " JEFF. DAVIS " appeared to be far higher in favour than old ABE " LINCOLN." General BUTLER'S name—a name henceforth to be associated with that of HAYNAU, the woman flogger—called forth, at the first whisper of it, a storm of groans and hisses. Even those preposte rous personages, my Lord DUNDREARY and "that comprehensive variety of the human species," as the reporter quaintly describes him, known as " Any Other Man" came in repectively for the youngsters' approbation. Absurd though the scene witnessed in the Sheldonian Theatre on the annual Commemoration Day, it has neverthe less its wholesome influence and its very express and readily appreciable significance. And seldom has there been afforded a more signal evidence of this than yesterday. The small Liberal minority and vast Tory majority performed their annual drill last nigh with their wonted precision. Even in the absence of Lord PALMERSTON, his lieutenant, Sir G. GREY with the customary help of Mr. NEWDEGATE, beat the m9jority of the Liberals with ease by a majority of eighty-five. " And so the bill is lost" —th© bill which no one would back to win in a Parliament, DERBY-DISRAELI, by election, but officered by Lord PALMERSTON. The atonemen made last night to the sacred cause of bribery and "undue influence," has, we observe, soothed the wrath of our great morning contemporary, and enabled it again to pour forth complacently its accustomed stream of contemptuous banter We have, indeed, nothing to complain of. The Times never gave itself the trnnble to understand the Ballot as a serious subject. Editors must have topics on which they can indulge in a little pleasantry, and it is quite fair that Mr. BERKELEY, with his annual motion, should be the SISYPHUS and the TANTALUS of the limes. Perhaps quite as fair, the whole business being but a joke for our contemporary, that its arguments should resemble so strongly the Kilkenny cats. We should like ,however, our opponents to choose which of the self-devouring arguments they will adopt. We should recommend them to toss up for it. Say heads, for the argument that the Ballot 11 destroy the legitimate influence of property ; tails, for the opposite one, that it will not secure secrecy at all. Or, again, heads for the argu ment that it i s a Democratical measure; and tails f or its as pair, that the people w ill be as much before in the hands of the v ote-purchase r and the inti m idator. We confess that r argum en t s , been in the positi on of SISYPHUS and agu we have sometimes, bet ween these confl i ct i ng TANTALUS. W e have comp:et e l y destroyed one of thewit with arguments which has been urg e d for some time pertinacity that we thought it was held to be the turnin g point of the qnestion—but, just as the victory was apparen tl y immediate prospect , the stone within a foot of the summit of the hill, the fruit or the water just touched by the lips, when away went the argument and our victory together --" Oh, no,' object to the Ballot for just the oppo. site reason to that I have urged hitherto, you must answer the contradictory of what I have all along ma intained !" We br ace ourse lves to the n ew task —but, again, this is no sooner all but accomplished, when again the routed antagonist rejects his last, and picks up again his old argument ; till you settle THE SUN, LONDON, THUR SDAY EVENING, JULY 3 , 1862. down to the old, weary conviction respecting both the Whigs and Tories and their journalists, that — "He who's convinced against his will, Is of the same opinion still." Secrecy seems to be the great abhorrence of county and pocket-borough members, and of the journals who espouse their cause, till we have been inclined to ask with B.UDIBRAS, taking editorial icense with a word or two— " What makes a secret vote a crime, The most notorious of the time— A secret vote, which Tory saints And sinning Whigs cry out against ?" We hardly know what to make of all this vague ad captandum declaration against secrecy, and in praise of publicity. Surely each is appropriate in its place ; the point being to show that secrecy is out of place in giving a vote. There may be, per haps, at the present day, a tendency to nude exhibition of what civilisation and modesty are supposed to prefer concealing. Our better print shops go a long way in this direction—and the procession of a living Lady GODIVA was quite a grand day for the railways to Coventry. The close fitting " flesh coloured silk" and the "rutty sark," of some unknown damsel, were beauties in the eyes of many thousands, who doubtless wished they could have lived in the better days of PHRYNE. We need not therefore wonder much that many borough constituencies, and all country consti tuencies, are required to act the part of political Lady GODIVAS, and to make public their moral nudity without even the short petticoats or the silk, or even a girdle of fig-leaves. It is asserted that bribery, and still more overpowering landlord influence, there must be and will be. So, undress it—and let every county constituency unblushingly ride the Whig or the Tory horse provided by the county landlords—and let all the poor tenants at will expose the naked fact of their subjection to their landlords. On this moral nakedness depends the charter of our aristocracy, just as that of Coventry should depend on the physical nakedness of Madame GODIVA. The universal power of public opinion is appealed to as requiring public voting for its expression. The argument is, indeed, a curious one. Public opinion in free countries is the means, we are told, by wnich men climb to power. It becomes, there fore, so valuable that men will bribe and use un due influence to get possession of it—this influence and bribery are " the proofs of the reign of public opinion—but this cannot be done with secrecy, for publicity is the very soul of the system." To which we entirely assent. This bribery and undue influ ence are entirely due to the publicity. But surety so far as they go they destroy public opinion, and substitute for it the interests and ambition of those who purchase or coerce the voters. The advocates of the ballot desire nothing more than to give the fullest weight to public opinion. What they affirm, and what they prove from the experience of every country where there is a real ballot, is that it ren ders an appeal to the understanding, instead of one to the covetousness or fears, or low passions, of the voter necessary. If by public opinion be meant the opinion of landlords and wealthy masters, of bankers and lawyers, of creditors and customers, then no doubt open voting collects it accurately enough. But if public opinion means the opinion of the electoral constituencies, assuredly a secret vote is its only guarantee. It is a perfectly just remark of Mr. BERKELEY'S that the "chief attribute of the Ballot is, that is the barrier against the usurpation of political power, whether by the aristocracy, the money ocracy, or a fierce democracy." As a means of taking votes in a free country, it is neither, pro perly speaking, a democratic nor an aristrocratic device—it is popular when the aristocracy oppress, it is aristocratic when the people oppress ; but, everywhere it is conservative, if by conservative we mean the preservation of their political rights to those from whom some kind of violence cr corrup tion would endeavour to filch them. At Notting ham and Longford it would have been found to neutralise the unfair influence of the mob and of the priests respectively. In an English county, in due time, it would neutralise landlord despotism. In corrupt boroughs it would double the difficulties of their corrupters. Everywhere it would liberate the timid and the dependent, in most places it would make a bribe of little worth. This, let the present possessors of undue influence rage as they will, is the true account of the working of the Ballot. The discussion coming on this evening in the House of Commons in reference to the sayings and doings, the sittings, and the report of the Thames Embankment Committee, must not on any account be slurred over. There is the evidence now in the hands of hon. members, and of the bear ing of that evidence they can, one and all of them, judge. Several days have elapsed since the blue book was published. It is ample enough in its detail of facts in all conscience. It is, in fast—for cynical readers especially—only too readable. As affording evidence unmistakeable of the weak nesses of human nature, it is almost painfully ludi crous to contemplate, here and there. Some of the witnesses go upon their hands and knees, as it were, along one sacred portion of the route, to wit, the river frontage of White.. hall-gardens. Yesterday we took occasion to afford our readers a taste of this, by presenting them with excerpts from the exemplary evidence elicited on behalf of his Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH from the lips of the Hon. CHARLES GORE, when that gentleman stood under a cross fire of ques tions before the Committee. An ample banquet of the like apretitizing tidbits the House has a fair prospect of enjoying now at its leisure this evening. In the enjoyment of it, however, let not the Com mons forget the heavy weight of responsibility that now devolves upon them in this matter of the Thames Embankment. The Government Commis sion has long ago pronounced its deliberate opinion 1 upon that subject of a Northern Thames Embank ment. Out of that deliberate opinion of the Com miasion has come forth the Government Bill mark ing out the whole scheme, and defining it in all its details. The committee sat upon that scheme, upon the Bill, upon the recommendation of the Commis sioners, and we all know now with what result. At the eleventh hour all the arrangements are changed. The grandest of all our metropolitan improvements, has been marred to a very lamentable extent. And all this for the personal convenience of the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, and at a cost to the public of an outlay—here of £90,000, there of £300,000 additional. The House of Commons has the power to sweep away these shameful concessions to the Duke of BUCCLEUCH on the part of a subservient committee. Let the House, by promptly using that power, perfect the whole project of this Northern t Embankment. ..a It never rains but it pours—at Turin as elsewhere. King VICTOR EMMANUEL—if he is constrained to put down with a heavy hand the immature of certai n and, 48 his Ministers think, the premature move ments recently d i scovered to b e i n preparat i on on the part Galibaldians—receives very notable auguries of success from remote and widely dif ferent directions, Imperial and Royal auguries of success coming to him simultaneously from Lisbon and from St. Petersburgl. The long looked-for recognition of the Kingdon of Italy by the Russian Autocrat is borne into hi: MAJESTY'S presence, at length, by the hands of E Muscovite Ambassador. And simultaneously with the arrival of this Envoy Extraordinary from the Emperor ALEXANDER 11 ., comes an Envoy also from the young King of POR TUGAL asking his MAJESTY of Italy to bestow upon that Monarch, in marriage, the youthful Princess MARIA PIA of Savoy. :lands of fellowship tlabs extended to VICTOR EALrIANUEL from such opposite directions, and both of them on pleas so eminently gratifying in themselves, will tend, probably, to learten the councils of His MAJESTY at Turin, in the development of a policy strangely compounded of caution and audacity. Meanwhile General GARIBALDI has nothing for it but to command his impatience and still more the impatience of his followers. How long the present state of truce in Italy may last it were difficult to predict. But in the meantime the Government of Turin is being slowly but appreciably strengthened ; while the notes of preparation for some new outbreak of war, trumpet notes so often sounded from Caprera fully half a year since, are gradually, on the other hand, dying away in faint and fainter echoes. THE FINE ARTS CLUB., This distinguished association gave last evening its concluding and most attractive conversazione when Miss Burdett Coutts, one of its members, very kindly placed at its disposal the spacious and ele gant reception-rooms of her residence in Piccadilly. The club were accordingly enabled to issue invita tions to all the leading literary, artistic, and scien tific visitors of our oapit.l, as well as to to most of the notabilities of our own fashionable and artistic circles, and the result was one of the most numerous and brilliant reunions of the season. The company began to assemble shortly after nine o'clock, and before eleven must have amounted to above a thou sand persons. The Fine Arts Club which, we may be allowed to mention, has no public aim what ever, but is simply a society of ladies and gentle men, which meets for the promotion of an artistic taste by discussing questions, and exhibiting Ppecimens illustrative of art in general, fulfilled, it will be seen, on this occasion, a very graceful public duty, in placing itself in harmony with the immediate spirit of the time. tPerhaps, we ought rather to say, that, in so doing, it obeyed an impulse which was not more natural to it than praiseworthy. Art, which is cosmopolitan, cannot restrict itself on great occasions to any social limi tations. The love of the skilled and beautiful springs out of a general faith, which, however iemay in quire in secret, always tends to worship openly. Whilst our religious and political systems have yet got to devise the syncretic scheme, which shall en fold, in one loving family, all parties and denomi nations, art, —humanity's great harmoniser, from the earliest hour that a sense of beauty dawned in the soul of Greek or Assyrian, has gently, persua sively, and increasingly woven the ethbrial mental bonds that unite the heart of man, as a preparation for his highest ties. Artistic clubs therefore, however private, must always indirectly exert some general influence. Each of their members, as he continues to enlarge his knowledge, and deepen his sympathies, becomes the centre of a refining action in less artistic circles than his own, which cannot fail, however, gradu ally to adjust others to his own standard. These remarks are naturally prompted by the rounion of last evening, whether in respect to the means it afforded for an exchange of thought and sympathy —so much in harmony with the Exhibition—or whether in reference to the evidence of the superior taste of the association as presented in their striking display of articles of vertu about the rooms. A more valuable or unique collection has rarely been submitted to inspection. Porcelain—Sevres, and Dresden, of the most exquisite colours and pattern, miniatures and enamels of the most perfect finish, —r Qtrilz;nci rahurnness- together with antiques of various kinds, but all of the utmost value and rarity covered the tables, and raised the regret that so little time was afforded the visitor to do them the justice they demanded. We may refer to one specimen especially as a tolerable type of their worth and beauty—a magnificent cameo contributed by the Right Hon. W. Glad stone—an illustration of Jupiter and Thetis, which, whether in respect to the size of the figures, or the sharpness and clearness of their exe cution is one of the greatest triumphs of the kind which we have ever had the pleasure of seeing. In conclusion, we feel some acknowledgment is due from the visitors to the refined and hospitable hostess under whose roof they were enabled to assemble, and who, by the distinguished part she has taken in the leading movements of our time, religious, social, and artistic—nobly devoting her resources to the noblest of all ends, has done so much to elevate the character of Englishwomen in our day. We are unable to append a list of the eminent assemblage on this occasion, and can only supply the names of a few we were able to recog nise, viz., the French and Turkish Ambassadors, the Duke D'Aumale, the MarquisD'Azeglio, the Marquis and Countess Dell Carat°, the Marquis and Coun tess Villamarina, the Count and Countess D'Audine, the Bishop of London, the Lord Chancellor, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Welling ton, Earl and Countess Grey, Earl and Countess Stanhope, Earl and Countess Egremont, Lord and Lady Manley, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Sir George Ellis, Sir Frederick Madden, Sir John and Lady Bowring, Sir Roderick Mur chison, Professor Owen, Professor Huxley, Mr. Layard, Sir Edwin Landseer, Messrs. Stanfield, Roberts, Ward, Millais, Frith, and other artists. DESPATCH OF AMERICAN AND CANADIAN MAILS. —Yesterday the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Company's steamer City of New York, Capt.

The Atrato took out en freight, English gold and silver coin, value £19,575; jewellery, &c., £972; French gold and silver coin, value £5,172; jewellery, &c., £6,97 5 , and a general cargo of French and English merchandise. THE LATE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —Mr. Jay, the railway contractor, by the aid of a powerful pumping engine which he has had at work for the last few days, yesterday succeeded in clearing the water out of the railway works, and a large body of labourers were at once set to work to clear away the pieces of broken timber and brickwork, preparatory to the rebuilding of the buttery wall. Messrs. Dethick and Cooke, the contractor and sur veyor to the Board of Works, have also had a large pumpißg engine placed at the shaft of the sewer, immediately above where the fracture took place, and which, being kept con tinually in Wier, effectually presents any flow of the sewage into the railway, by turning it into th e new cuttings or pipes. The efiluvium arising from th is open cutting . is a great annoyance to the inhabitants in the neighbourhood, and the above gertlemen are devising some measures by which th.s evil may be lessened, if not altogether removed HORSE RAILWAYS IN SWITZERLAND. —The horse railway from Geneva to Carouge—the first section of the lines of horse railways to be constructed in the Canton of Geneva under tits concession granted to Mr. Burn, C.E., was opened with the greatest success on Thursday, the 19th ult. The one n i n s of the line wa s celebrated by a local fete at Carouge, when 7,000 people were carried from Geneva and back. The fares on this line are the lowest ever at tempted, and 2tmpunt to a fraction more than id. per pas senger per !Lilo This is the first line of horse railway that has been laid down on the Continent on the American system. Ihe rail used is a grooved rail of peculiar form, which presents no obstruction or inconvenience to the or di:, nary traffic of the roads. LATESr NEWS. WARSAW, JULY 2.

Steward, arrived at 1 a.m., with mails in charge of Commander Bingham, R.N., naval mail agent, 14 passengers, £2,319 in specie, a box of precious stones, 12 boxes of machinery, 120 chests of oranges, 62 boxes of lemons, 5 boxes onions, 193 boxes of eggs, and 20 packages of general merchandise. This packet left Lisbon at 9 a.m. on the 27th ult., Oporto at 10 a.m. on the 28th, and Vigo at 7 a.m. on the 29th, and had fresh N. to N.E. winds, with overcast, hazy weather. Off Finisterre, on the 29th, the Alhambra spoke the Company's steamer Delta, bound south. There were no English vessels of war at Lisbon when the Alhambra left. The usual Portuguese squadron was lying in the Tagus. The exchanges this packet were, at three months. for London, 53", to 531 ; Paris, 530 to 532 ; Hamburg, 48 ; Amsterdam, 421 ; Genoa, 527. Three per Cent. Stock, 461 to 461. Bank of Portugal Shares, 558 to 560; Bank of Oporto Shares, 258 to 260. AMERIC A NEW YORE, JUNE 21. General IVlTlellan's army before Richmond has been reinforced by the corps under General M'Dowell. The weather is fine, and the roads firm in Vir ginia. General Morgan, of the Federal army, re• ports to the War Department, under date of the 18th inst., that he that day marched upon and occupied Cumberland Gap, which the enemy evacuated four hours before his arrival. Cumberland Gap is a pass in the Cumberland mountains at a point where the boundary lines of the States of Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee converge. A telegram authorised by the Federal Govern ment, which stated some days ago that Little Rock the capital of Arkansas, had been occupied by a Federal force under General Curtis, is unfounded. That oity still remains in the possession of the Con federates. No further intelligence that can be depended upon has been received of the movements or posi tion of General Beauregard. Vicksburg still holds out against the Federal flotilla. The Confederates declare their intention to defend the city to the last extremity. EMIGRATION 70 THE NORTH AMERICAN COLONIES. The report of the emigration during the past year to our North American colonies has just been pub lished, and shows that they have benefited in this respect by the American war. The number of per sons landed at Quebec during the season was 19,923 or 9,733 more than in the previous year. There were also 4,664 arrivals in Canada by the American route. At all times, however, a large proportion of those who sail hence for the St. Lawrence intend to proceed to the United States, and on the present occasion the total was 10,700, so that out of 24,587 arrivals in the province the aggregate that actually remained was 13,887. The number of vessels.en gaged in the conveyance of the 19,923 emigrants to Quebec was 147, of which 40 were steamers and 107 sailing ships. The former had an average pas sage of 124 days and the latter 38 . 1, days from ports in the United Kingdom, and 50 from the Continent. The proportion from the United Kingdom was 9,305, from Germany 2,318, and from Norway 8,620. The latter were chicfly the parties who proceeded to the United States, where they have large settlements in Illinois and Wisconsin. The emigration from the United Kingdom was particularly healthy, but four deaths having occurred during the passage — one female adult and tbree children, two of whom were infants ; but in the German and Norwegian emigration there was the heavy mortality of between two and three per cent., owing to the absence of that medical inspection which is enforced in emi grant ships sailing from British ports. Small-pox and measles are ascertained to have prevailed among them previous to embarkatiori. The nationality of of the emigrants of last year and of 1860 is stated as follows : English .. Irish GO Scotch .. Germans • . Norwegians Danes , French , Americans , , Colonists Total .. 1860. 1861. .. 2,491 .. 3,574 .. 2,83', 3,180 • • '.,850 .. 2,015 .. 725 .. 2,040 .. 1,809 .. 8,668 • • ''' 74 .. .. 4 .. .. 366 .. .. 10,150 .. 19,923 The increase appears chiefly in the foreign mi grants, which amounts to 8,154, or equal to over 360 per cent. From the United Kingdom the in crease was 1,597, or 212 per cent. Of the emigrants from the United Kingdom, a large proportion were persons possessing means, who came out with the intention of occupying the free grant lots offered by the Government. As regards the trades or call ings of the adult emigrants, of whom the total number embarked was 7,464, it appears that they were classed as follows, showing that the majority from the United Kingdom were labourers and me chanics, while from the Continent they were mostly farmers : Total. .. 3,865 ..

Total .. 7,646 3,840 .. 3,624 Nearly all the emigrants who arrived are stated to have readily found employment at fair wages, and it is added that the prospects for the present year are upon the whole favourable. From reports re ceived from foreign sources, a large influx of emi grants is expected this season from Germany and Norway. Ireland is now being canvassed by the agents of the Provincial Government, and maps, pamphlets, &c., containing the fullest information, have been circulated throughout Great Britain. Information recently elicited by the Bureau of Agriculture, in reply to questions addressed by them to the municipal authorities throughout Canada, shows that the following number and classes of emigrants are required in .various parts of the country : Farm labourers .. Female servants .. Boys over 13 years .. Girls over ditto .. ..

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SlR,—The remarks of the press on the above subject will, it is to be hoped, receive that attention at the hands of the Legislature which its import ance demands ; and the sooner the better, because the errors of the present system have long been felt as rather unsatisfactory and a little unfair. The attendance of both special and common jurymen is, very properly, strictly enforced, and in cases of non-attendance they are equally liable to such fine as the judge may think proper to impose. Such being the case, and as they each alike incur the responsibility of neglect, it is but right that the rate of remuneration should not be so widely diffe rent as it is at present. The special juror receives a guinea a time, and the common juror Bd.—an ab surdly small sum for similar duties. The common juror ought to have ss. a time, and no reasonable person will say that is too much. The special jurors are also subjected to great in convenience; they have very often to wait days for a case, which, after all, is withdrawn, and they are dismissed without receiving a farthing. This is glaringly unjust. Because the litigants choose and demand a special jury, and if they withdraw the case, the jury in attendance have as much right to be paid as the counsel and attorneys ; and if you, Sir, think that the cause will be aided by the pub lication of this letter, its insertion will greatly oblige Your most obedient servant, GEORGE ELLIS.

ANON YMA. A writer in a contemporary says—Early in the season of 1861 a young lady, whom I must call Anonyma, for I have never been able to learn her name, made her appearance in Hyde-park. She was a charming creature, beautifully dressed, and she drove with ease and spirit two of the hand somest brown ponies eye ever beheld. Nobody in society had seen her before; nobody in society knew her name, or to whom she be longed ; but there she was, prettier, better dressed, and sitting more gracefully in her carriage than any of the fine ladies who envied her her looks, her skill, or her equipage. A good many young gentlemen seemed to be acquainted with her; but their recognition was generally limited to a respectful bow as she passed by, or to a few friendly words slily interchanged on the step of her pony-carriage when she drew up in some remote corner of the Park. Anonyma seemed at first to be rather a shy dam sel. She is somewhat bolder now. Last year she avoided crowds, and affected unfrequented roads, where she could more freely exhibit her ponies' marvellous action, and talk to her male acquain tances with becoming privacy. When all the fashionable world were sauntering on foot, on horse back, and in carriages along the Ladies' Mile by the side of the Serpentine, Anonyma used to betake herself to the deserted thoroughfare leading from Apsley House to Kensington. But, as the fame of her beauty and her equipage spread, this privacy became impossible to her. The fashionable world eagerly migrated in search of her from the Ladies' Mile to the Kensington-road. The highest ladies in the land enlisted themselves as her disciples. Driving became the rage. Three, four, five, six hundred guineas were freely given for pairs of ponies, on the simple condition that they should show as much breeding as Anonyma's. If she wore a pork-pie hat, they wore pork-pie hats; if her paletot was made by Poole, their paletots were made by Poole ; if she reverted to more femi nine a ttire, they reverted to it also. Where she drove, they followed ; and I must confess that, as yet, Anonyma has fairly distanced her fair compe titors. They can none of them sit, dress, drive, or look as well as she does ; nor can any of them procure for money such ponies as Anonyma con trives to get—for love. But the result of all this pretty play cau ses a great public nuisance, and it is on that account, and not at all on account of my admiration for Anonyma and her stepping ponies, that I now ad dress you. I have said that up to the beginning of last year the fasbionable world chiefly affected the Ladies' Mile in the Park, and that the thoroughfare from Apsley-house to Kensington was comparatively un frequented, save by Anonyma. But this year, wh en that road is more especially required to be kept open for the con venience of visitors to the Exhi bition, it is daily choked with fashionable car riages —from se ven—all on account of An placedto along it on either side ; "Yina. Chairs are five the best partis t hat England kn o ws, the toadies wh o c li ng t o t h em, the snobs who copy them --all sit there, watohing for Anonyma. About 6 p.m. a rumour arises that Anonyma is coming. Expectation is raised to its ihighestcarriage pitch; a handsome woman drives rapidly by drawn by thoroughbred ponies of sur- Parting shape and action ; the drive r is attired in the --- LORD PALMERSTON AT OSFORD.
