The new Government of India Bill was brought in and read a first time, last night, in the House of Commons. It is founded on the first five resolutions, in which the only points on which divisions were taken were carried by large majori ties in favour of the Government propositions. Lord &ANL= felt that they had gone far enough in the way of resolutions to ascertain the opinions of the committee on the principal points involved in them, and that he was therefore justified in at once proceeding with the bill which he had in readiness. This decision was very satisfactory to all, save those who desired that the existence of the mori bund Company should be protracted for another year, which might be effected by pursuing a Fabean policy. The 17th June—the eve of the anniversary of Waterloo—had arrived, and it was full time that some progress should be made. The House had agreed on the main principles of the bill—that the Government of India should be transferred from the Company to a responsible Minister of the Crown—that such Minister should be assisted by a council, and that the council should be partly nominated and partly elected. This was an adequate foundation for legislation, and the bill founded thereon was immediately proceeded with, the second reading being fixed for Thursday next The nominated members of the Council, accord ing to the bill, are to be eight—the elected seven making up the fiftee n , t he number decided on by the House. The con sti tuency is different from that which had originally been contemplated. The East India directors are to select from amon gst themselves seven me mbers in th e fi rst may hereaf ter instance, and ev er y vacanc y that o c c ur, is to be filled up alter nately b y nominati on and election, the remaining members . of the Council being the electors ! It is perhaps a, good a plan as any, although we confess that we should have preferred a wider basis— a mores extended constituency. We do not doubt that the Council will be perfectly independent ; men holding offices virtually for life, having nothing to gain and nothing to fear, are not disposed to truokle to any authority. They soon shake off THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY E V ENING , JUNE 18, 1858. the cheers to the great Homeric scholar and the illustrious rhetorician. Lord DERBY'S name, as a matter of right and of course, elicited the ring ing plaudits naturally his due to the chief of men both for England and for Oxford—as Chancellor of the University and as First Lord of the Treasury. But what says even the anti-Derbyite organ in allusion to the next incident ? Why, that " the mention of Mr. DISRAELI brought down thunders of applause !" It reminds one of the ovation the right bon. gentleman received in person from the undergraduates at the time of Lord DERBY'S Installation—when in his scarlet gown he ad vanced to receive his degree of D.C.L. from the hands of the new Chancellor. The popular man of-letters, who has won his way solely by his own unaided abilities to be the leader of the Gentle men:of England, is manifestly not the least popular among the generous-hearted youth of the Univer sity. And that prolonged and ardent popularity of his down at Oxford constitutes, we doubt not, one of the most cherished and appreciated rewards of his life. He had a few years since, as we have intimated, the gratification of receiving it himself in person. It is now cordially reiterated to him in his absence by another and a yet younger generation. Pleasant sounds, the echo of those ringing cheers from the banks of the Isis—heart ening, in the midst of his responsible labours, the Leader of the Commons and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) HUGHES V. LADY DINOBBEN-LIBEL. The further hearing of this extraordinary case was resumed. The Court was again densely crowded. Col. Williams, M.P., cross-examined by Mr. Macau lay—He was the son of the first Lord Dinorben's sister. Sir Richard Bulkeley was son of another sister ; he might have received letters from Lady Dinorben since 1852: he had had no oommunication with her person ally or by letter since 1854; the letters from Lady Dinorben relative to his trusteeship under the will of the first Lord Dinorben, which he produced yesterday, be had received back from his solicitor, Mr. Bloxam ; his mother was the eldest sister. In the first Lord's will Sir R. Bulkeley's children were placed before his (Col. Williams) in the settlement. He formed his opinion as to the writer of the anonymous letters en tirely from the six letters, be had received from Lady Dinorben about the trust. On comparing one letter received by him with one of the anonymous letters to Lord Ravensworth, he considered them to be written by the same person. He formed that opinion from the similarity of the writing, and not from the contente. He could not speak positively when he first saw the anonymous letters. He had no communication with Sir R. Bulkeley at the time respecting these letters. Re-examined by Mr. James—The genuine letters were handed to Mr. Bloxam in the regular course of business. Mr. John Wallis, examined by Mr. James--He re sided on his own property in Ireland. He was a nephew of Lady Dinorben. His sister died on the sth of May, 1857. Previous to her death she was in the habit of staying with Lady Dinorben. At the latter period of her life she was not beat pleased with Lady Dinorben, and they were not on the same affectionate terms as before. His sister died at St. Leonard's. Mr. James—Did you find an anonymous letter there ? Witness declined to answer the question ; he was placed in a very awkward position. Lord Campbell said there was no doubt of that, but he must answer the question. Witness continued—He found an anonymous letter there. It was not opened before his sister's death. He opened it. (Witness, after appealing to the learned judge, produced it.) It has not the seal now on it it had when he found it. He gave it the day before to Sir Kingston James, who was connected with Lady Dinorben, to show to Mr. Walker, her ladyship's soli. citor, and on receiving it he found the seal had been sealed over. He complained of it, and told Sir Kingston he would have nothing more to do with it. The seal on the letter had a head, but not like the head on the seal of letter No. 1. It was similar, and had been sealed over like his late sister's letter. Mr. Bloxam saw his sister's letter in witness's presence, the day before yes. terday, before the seal of it was obliterated. He would not positively state he told Mr. Bloxam the seal on it was like the seal on the anonymous letter referred to. He had heard Sir Kingston James was here as a wit ness for Lady Dinorbee. Mr. Macaulay—He is on my brief, and I shall call him. Mr. James—ln whose handwriting is the letter ad dressed to your sister Witness—Am I bound to answer the question ? Lord Campbell—Yes. Witness—lie believed it was in Lady Dinorben'e UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JUNE 15. PINEY AND ELLERTON HEBREW SCHOLARSHIP.

The letter was then real. It was not dated. It was addressed — "Dear Miss Smith,—l have learnt you are not so well as the writer of this wishes you, but trust you will be spared. Is it true you have been prevented leaving, es you intended, 2,0001. to your unfortunate cousin, Mary Smith 1 The person who has so influenced you has no charity, and will never have luck with your for tune. Do not be guided by such avarice, disgusted avarice, you know your unfortunate cousin has not one farthing ; therefore do as you intended and leave her something, to prevent her starving, and the great God will bless you, as you hope to see Him. Think of this, and let no one pervert your kind feeling from this charity.' His sister resided with Lady Dinorben, off and on, Cross-examined by Mr. Macaulay—He should not have come here if it had not been from the representa tion of Mr. Bloxam. lie represented to witness it was Lady Dinorben's intention to impute the letter com plained of to his deceased sister, and he came prepared to vindicate her character. He had compared the seals on those letters with that on his sister's, and he told Mr. Bloxam they were very much alike, but not exactly. Sir Kingston James returned hie sister's letter in an envelope, and in sealing it it had stuck to the seal of the original letter. Mr. Bloxam was called, and said he examined the seals on two of the anonymous letters, with the seal on Miss Vlellis's letter, and he believed they were impress sions from the same seal. He said to Mr. Wallis that, from the similarity of Miss Wallis's handwriting to that of Lady Dinorben having been pointed out to him by the opposite party, he had reason to believe it was the intention of the defendant to endeavour to make out that the anonymous letter was written by his sister, but that he (witness) did not believe it, and he wanted his assistance to discever the author ; the letter had been shown to the opposite party before his interview with Mr. Wallis. Cross-examined by Mr. Macaulay—The writ was issued on the 31st July last, and the declaration setting out the libels not till November; he declined in July to show the letters, his counsel being out of town, but he showed them in November to the defendant's solicitors, he showed them four or five of the letters, if not the whole of them ; he also produced a num ber of Lady Dinorben'a genuine letters. Two of them were supposed not to be genuine. The defend ant's solicitors sail the object for their Examining the letters was to arrive at the truth. He did not stipulate that what had passed between them should be con fidential, but that it should not be used by either party. Mr. Thomas Williams, solicitor, residing in Wales— He was for a considerable time solicitor and land-agent to Lord Dinorben. He continued land agent till 1858. He bad corresp mded with Lady Dinorben. He did not believe the letter No. 1 to be in her ladyship's hand writing ; " wh" in the word " what," in the letter was like her writing. He was unable to sly if the "f's" and the capital letter "M" wero like Lady Dinorben's writing. The second letter produced he did not believe was her ladyship's handwriting. When Mr. Bloxam showed it to him he informed him that be did not believe it was in Lady Dinorben'a handwriting. He could not swear to them. He might have said to Mr. Bloxam there was a similarity in the handwriting, and that there were many letters there very much like Lady Dinorben'a. Cross-examined by Mr. Macaulay—He was first shown the letter to Lord Ravensworth and Mr. Lid dell some part of last year. Sir Richard Bulkeley, M.P. for Anglesea, exa mined by Mr. E. James—He was nephew of the first Lord Dinorben, and a trustee under the will. The letter produced, " 4 A," addressed to Col. Williams, with the postmark 6th November, 1852, he did not think was in Lady Dinorben's handwriting. The letter addressed to Lord Ravens worth was not like her lady ship's usual handwriting, and, from hie own observa tion and knowledge, he should say it was not her handwriting. There was one "w" like her ladyship's peculiarity of writing. There were other " w's '' in the same letter that were not like it. The letter addressed to Mr. Liddell was unlike Lady Dinorben's hand wriing. w" and "h" in " what" in that letter were like hers. His evidence applied in the same manner to the letter commencing "Hugh, how can you be such an ass ?" He did not know if she usually spoke of Mr. Hughes as "Hugh." He believed there was a word in the letter No. 6 in Lady Dinorben'a handwriting. The word was " wh—," in the sentence, " son of a wh—." Cross-examined by Mr. Macaulay—Mr. Hughes re ceived an anonymous letter relative to witness and the county of Anglesea election, which they believed was written by her ladyship. He after wards wrote a letter to her, expressing his regret (after her denial that she wrote it) at having attributed it to her. Miss Luiskill, examined by Mr. Honeyman—She was a niece of the first Lord Dinorben's first wife. After her aunt's death she continued to reside with him at Kirmel-park after hie second marriage with the present Lady Dinorben. She had never seen her write, and had only received one letter from her. Witness bad seen letters and notes addressed by her ladyship. She had seen the letter addressed to Lord liavensworth and Mr. Liddell ; she was not well acquainted with her ladyship's handwriting; but to the bast of her belief she considered they were in her ladyship's handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. Macaulay—She told Mr. Bloxam last year, when he brought the letters to her, that she thought they were in L ad y Dinorben's hand writing. She received the letter referred to, in 1841, i after her mother's death. She had not kept t. Re-examined—The letter to o herself was anonymous. Lord Campbell—How do y know they came from Lady Dinorben Witness—Because they were so very much like her handwriting. Sbe had received two letters from Lady Dinorben with her signature, and one anonymous. The latter she rent to Lord Dinorben, and wrote to him respecting its contents. She had not presery d e them.

Mr. Morris, in the employ of a stationer of Mount st!, Grosvenor-square—Lady Dinorben dealt with ufor some years before 1854. The letter commencing " the housekeeper, oh the housekeeper," was written on paper and enclosed in an envelope, supplied by his firm. The envelope had the name of the firm on it. The letter was posted South-street, Grosvenor-square, the nearest post-office to Lady Dinorben's residence. Cross-examined by Mr. Macaulay—The paper and envelope were like that supplied to her ladyship—they sold a large quantity of the same kind to other persons. Re-examined by Mr. James—The paper and envelope produced were of the character supplied to her ladyship. She was very particular in having that quality and description. When her ladyship was in mourning she had another quality as well. Mr. Nethercliff, examined by Mr. Bovill—He was a lithographer, aLd was in tha habit of taking ft 4i-similes:of handwriting. He had paid great attention to hand writing, and frequently gave evidence on the handwriting of documents, [The anonymous letters, with genuine letters of her ladyship's writing, were put into the witness's bands.] The anonymous letters were written in a disguised handwriting. There were different disguises, but they were written by the same person. The letter "w" all through the letters was an eccentric character. There was a peculiarity running through all of them relative to " wb," " tn,' cap. " H," and other letters, especially the "D" in Dinorben. There was a distinct dash after the final "g" or "y." He (witness) minutely pointed out the peculiarity that led him to sta`e the anonymous letters produced were all written by the same person. There were several instances where the writer had for gotten to disgui e, and had broken into the natural hand. Photographs of the letters and documents were handed in for the guidance of the Jury.

Seccombe, arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday evening from Gibraltar, which she left at 8 p.m. en the 7th inst., with 100 tons of Ordnance stores and the following passengers :—Deputy-Commissary - General Dinwiddie, Capt. Lawson R.A., Lieut. C. Collingwood, R.A., Capt. a 4. Layton, 25th Regiment, Ensign W. Keogh, Ist Royals, Quarter master Hopkins, late of the 31st Regiment ; Sir J. and Lady Cochrane, and two daughters ; Mrs. Garrett, Mrs. Dinwiddie, Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. Wil liams, Miss Melville, Miss Crocker, Mrs. Layton, five servants, 16 children, 38 military invalids, 10 soldiers' wives, and 26 children. The Vulcan met with a misfortune with one of her engines when off Lisbon, which caused a delay in her passage, but she has done her work well. She has gone over 20,999 miles, had on board 6,197 passengers, and transported 2,000 tons of Ordnance stores since the 12th of September last, and has not before this acci dent cost anything for repairs during her present commission. When off Oporto she was passed by her Majesty's steamers Racoon and Renown. The Vulcan, however, has m? intained her chat acter as a sailing ship, and proved herself to be as handy as a cutter in beating to windward. She had a severe trial against a first-rate Yankee clipper, dead on a wind, between the Narrows from the Nab light vessel to Spithead, and " eat" her out of wind, gaining on every tack. The Vulcan is likely to be under repair for the next month, requiring new shaft, connecting rod, &c. The Lizard steam-vessel, Lieutenant in command Edward Mansell, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from. the eastward. The Locust, 3, paddlewheel vessel, Lieutenant- Commander J. B. Field, arrived at Portsmouth yestet day afternoon from the eastward. A flotilla of gunboats are ordered to be prepared for sea from the reserve at Portsmouth. They are intended for foreign service. The Bloodhound, 3, steam vessel, Lieutenant - Commander Robson, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the West Coast of Africa Station. She left Sierra Leone April 19, Gambia 26, Teneriffe May 21, Lisbon June 3, and Vigo 11. The Bloodhound left Devonport on the 16th of September, 1855, but has been very unfortunate in her captures, as the only one she made (an American vessel) she had to give up, and was ordered home in consequence. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty W. H. Drysdale, master, to the Cressy ; Chas. Graham, master additional, to the Exmouth ; and Jarvis, master additional, to the Hannibal. HENRY WELLESLEY, CHARLES NEATE, Examiners. MAX MULLER, COMMEMORATION WEEK. Mendelssohn's oratorio of "Elijah" was performed yesterday afternoon; under the direction of Dr. Corte, of Christchurcb, in the theatre. The principal vocalists were Miss Banks, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Weiss, Master R. Corfe, of Magdalen College ; and Master Pacey, of Christchurch. An excellent and most efficient band was engaged from London, under the well-known vio linist Blagrove as leader ; the drums were played in excellent taste by an amateur of the university, the sister university being also one of the few places in the kingdom which can boast an amateur drummer. A fine-toned organ, with powerful pedal pipes, had been erected by Messrs. Gray and Davison, at which Mr. E. V. Hall, of Magdalen College, officiated ; and it was a general subject of regret that the position in which this instrument was placed viz., immedi ately in front of the principal entrance—prevented the possibility of its remaining up for commemoration, and so being heard instead of the very useless and weak instrument on which the professor is at present obliged to perform. The whole oratorio was performed with excellent effect, and in first-rate style ; it is almost neeJless' to say that the solos were rendered in the best taste. "Then shall the righteous," being enthusiasti cally re-demanded of Mr. Sims Reeves, the only encore conceded (a most judicious proceeding), and Master R. Corfe being much applauded in "0 rest in the Lord." The chorusee, which were sustained by Dr. Code's friends in the university, among which we may mention as especially effective, "Thanks be to God," and "Be not afraid," which were given with a spirit and preci sion that did full justice to the noble music to which they are set, and the applause was given repeatedly, and with hearty good-will, while of Dr. Code's conducting nothing further could be wished or said. The Vice-Chancellor was present in his own chair, also the junior proctor, the professor of music, the choragus, and many other distinguished mem bers of the university and county gentlemen, to gether with a large assembly of ladies, who filled the house, and both by their presence and appreciation of the performance, amply rewarded Dr. Corfe and his their band for their energetic efforts. The procession of racing boats on the Isis last evening attracted as usual some thousands of spectators, and the banks on each side of the river were lined with rld and young almost as far as the eye could reach. The university barge, which has recently been decorated with great artistic skill and judgment, and is now a very striking and pleasing object on the river, was crowded with ladies elegantly dressed, while a band stationed at the end of the barge gave increased animation to the scene. The ornamental barges belonging to the varbus coil ges were also crowded. About eight o'clock the racing boats and torpide left Iffiey, and rowed up in the following order :- 1, Exeter ' • 2, Balliol ' • 3, Oriel ; 4, Pembroke ; 5 , University ; 6, Trinity ; 7, Christchurch Ist ; 8, Wad bane ; 9, Brasenose ; 10, St. John's ; 11, Christchurch 2nd ; 12, Worcester • 13, Corpus ; 14, Lincoln.

On reaching the university barge, the head boat (Exe ter) took its position there, and the crews of the other boats saluted it by tossing their oars, which the Exeter acknowledged in the same. The Harlequin crew, in their earnestness to pay this mark if respect to the head boat, managed to capsize their own boat, and the whole of the crew were immersed in the water, to the amusement and delight of the thousands who witnessed it. Tile gaieties of the day were brought to a close by a ball given at the Town-hall by the members of Cerist church, with the permission of the Dean, Dr. Liddell. JUNE 16. DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR C. OGLE, BART. THE COMMEMORATION. The encceaia or commemoration of founders and bene factors took place this morning in the Sheldonian theatre, which presentetd its usual brilliant and imposing appearance. The following were admitted to the honorary degree of D.C.L., after presentation by the regius professor of civil law, Travers Twigs, D.C.L. : Viscount Stratford do Redd:fie, G.C.B. Viscount Eversley, late Speaker of the House of Core- mons. The Right Hon. Sir Lawrence Peel, late Chief Justice of Bengal. Sir John Shaw Lefevre, K.C.B„ clerk of the Parlia- ments House of Lords. Major General Sir John Esidley Wilrnot Inglis, K C.B. Thomas Dyke Aeland, M.A., late Fellow of Alt Souls. The Hon. Mr. Ju , tice Halib ,rton, one of the judges of the province of Nova Scotia. Then followed "The Crewian Oration," by the Pro fessor of Poetry, M. Arnold, M.A. The prize compositions were neat recited by the suc cessful competitors, viz.:— Latin Verse—" L ac us' Asphaltities"—Joseph Henry Warner, Baliol. English Essay—" The Greatness and Decline of Venice" —Lewis Morris, 8.A., Jesus College. Latin Essay—" Utrum bens an Male de Populo Ro mano meritus sit C o nstantinus qui sedem Imperii By zantium t r anstulerit" William Walter Merry, 8.A., Baliol. Sir Roger Ne wdigate's Prize--‘: The discovery of the North-West Passage —Francis Law Latham, scholar of Brasenose. Gaisford Prize—" Translation of Shakspere's Henry IV., part 1, act 2, scene 4, from What manner of man,' to ' I do, I will.' " Reginald Broughton, scholar of Bailie). All the recipients of the honorary degrees were enthu siastically cheered, but more especially Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, General Inglis, and Mr. Justice Hallibur ton, were sainted with repeated cries of " Sam Slick." The scene when General Inglis advanced to take his seat among the doctors was most exciting. At the commencement of the proceedings the National Anthem was sung with telling effect by the company pre sent. Then followed three rounds of the heartiest cheers for the Queen. The other popular cries were, "Prince Albert," "the Princess Royal and Prince rederiek," "the Duke of Cambridge," "the Emperor and Empress of the French," " Sir Celia Campbell," " Gen. Inglis," "Lady Inglis." The political demonstrations were fewer and feebler than heretofore, the name of Lord Palmerston was re ceived, with mingled cheers and hissing, but it was evident that his lordship' has many admirers among the undergraduates. Lord Derby's name was received with general cheering, and the name of Mr. Disraeli brought down thunders of applause. Three groans for "The Cabal" was heartily responded to. Mr. Gladstone's name provoked mingled cheers and hisses, and it was difficult to say which predominated. Toe names of the Bishop of Oxford, Dr. Pusey, and the Bishop of Ripon, were received with general cheer ing_. Among the popular miscellaneous cries were— " General Inglis and Lady Inglis," Sam Slick," "The Exeter crew," "The University eight." The Senior Proctor's name provoked a volley of groans We have to record the demise of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Admiral of the Fleet, who died on Wednesday, at a quarter-past one a.m., at Tun bridge Wells, after a short illness. The venerable admiral, shortly after the setting in of the hot wea ther, first complained of illness, and removed to Tunbridge Wells for change of air. While resident there the unfavourable symptoms increased, and at the hour above-named he died at the ripe age of 83 years. Sir Charles was the eldest son of sir Chaloner Ogle, who was created a baronet for hie • naval services, and who, like his deceased son, d ied the senior admiral in the British navy, and fles• ter, daughter and cc-heir of the Rev. pr. Thomas, Bishop of Winchester. He was born May 24, 1775, and when about thirteen years old he entered the navy on board the Adventurer, 4 4 , Capt. J. N. Inglefield, under whom be served off the coast of Africa. In Sept. 1791, he was made mid' Shipman of the Alcide, 74, Capt. Sir A. S. Douglag• and after he had obtained the rank of lieutenant is 1793, he eventually joined the Boyne, 98, bearin a g the flag of Sir J. Jervis. During the proximt e operations against the French West India Island° , he commanded a boat at the capture (under a hews/ fire of great guns and muske'ry) of two schoone a r s lying at anchor with others, near Maran, M" tinique, and otherwise distinguished himself ; he assisted at the taking of Pigen Island, and was en' trusted with the command of a party of Beanies landed at Port Negro to co-operate with the army, , a nd remained on shore until after the surrender 01 Fort Bourbon. At the siege of Guadaloupe be again commanded a division of seamen, and greatlf distinguished himself by his gallant conduct at the storming of Fort Fleur d'Epee. ILI May, 1794, he was appointed acting-captain of the Assurance, 4 4 . After seeing some service on the Jamaica station, he again repaired to the Mediterranean, w h e re he successively commanded the Meleager and Grey' hound, each of 32 guns. In the latter ship be r , effected the capture of a Genoese privatee r of 3-`" guns ; also of a Spanish armed polacca, and of other vessels. In the Egyptienne he served during the Egyptian campaign, and for his eminent serviel 181 on that occasion he obtained the Turkish Vila' medal. From April, 1805, to September , the gallant admiral was continuously employeln afloat, chiefly in the channel and home stati on. April, 1827, Sir Charles was appointed Cowma n der-in-Chief of the North American station/ which he held a little over three years ; and ill September, 1845, was selected as Comman der-in- Chief at Portsmouth, a command he held for the c ustomary period. His commissions b )re date ee d follows :—Lieutenant, Nov. 14, 1793 ; comma n d ° May 21, 1794 ; captain, Jan. 11, 1796 ; roar -a miral, Aug. 12, 1819 ; vice-admiral, July 22, 1-83 t and admiral, Nov. 23, 1841. On the demise of miral T. Lo Marchant Gosselin, Sir Charles be.: came senior admiral, and on the B th of De cent last last he was appointed Admiral of the Fleet. the venerable admiral's death a general promotee 6 among the flag officers will ensue. Sir °b alle t Ogle took deep interest in, and was a munifl eell„ contributor to, the different charitable institut ie t connected with the naval service, and the venersbi:f admiral had been for many years past presidento, the Royal Naval Benevolent Society. The 1 . 0 ceased baronet had been thrice married—first, da April, 1802, to Charlotte, sister of Viscount (la and Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, secondly, in September, 1820, Letitia, daught!` Sir William Borroughs, Bart., who died in 114 and, thirdly, in April, 1834, Lady Thorold, re of Sir John H. Thorold, Bart., and daughter 00 Mr. George Cary, of Tor Abbey, His eldest sots by his first marriage, Mr. Chaloner Ogle , forine in the army, succeeds to the baronetcy. their leading-strings, and assert their real posi tion. And so it will be in the present instance. The Council will be armed with a quasi•judicial jurisdiction. Its function will be to advise the Minister who may or may not act in accordance with that advice, but his responsibility will be largely increased, if he thinks proper to disregard the deliberate judgment of a majority of his col- leagues. . Of course there will be opposition —factious opposition. The Palmeistonians are too anxious for their own restoration to the Political Paradise from which they have been ex cluded to let any opportunity pass. They sigh for place and power. Every appointment is looked on as if it were an invasion of their privileges, a "looting" of that which was regarded as a species of property. They seemed to think that India formed a legitimate battle-ground on which the contest could be decided, and were bitterly disap pointed when the coveted cup was removed from their grasp at the moment that it was approaching their eager lips. It is manifest, however, that Ministers do not shun the contest. If they desired to do so, they might have spent some additional weeks on the re solutions, and ascertained the opinions of the independent Liberals on every point so as to pre vent the possibility of any failure. They have, however, boldly flung down the gage, and we shall speedily witness the result. Next Thursday the question will be resumed, and we earnestly hope that the course which may be most beneficial both for India and for England may be adopted. It is impossible to deny that England stands I almost single-handed in its generous and humane efforts to put down the Slave-trade. Other nations, although they have entered into treaties and solemn obligations to discountenance the nefarious traffic, virtually connive at it by refus ing to sanction the only means by which it can really be abolished. Nc • t only is the right of search refused, but even the power of verifying ; the right of the suspected vessel to the flag under which it sails. If the star-spangled banner be erected at the maintop, the " stripes" may be inflicted to any extent in the hold. It may be that the party using it had not the slightest righ t to the distinction, that he may be merely " the jay clad in peacock's feathers ;" but, however palpable the disguise, it must be respected. The miscreant who, according to the law of the United States, is guilty of piracy, must be per mitted to go on, if he can only sport the Ameri can " bunting," and his punishment must devolve on American authorities. Surely, if our Trans atlantic friends were in earnest, they would wil lingly consent to a very trifling inconvenience to achieve a great good, and should be grateful to those who would bring to justice the robbers and pirates who degrade and prostitute their banner, by making it the cover for the most heartrending abominations and fiendish atrocities I Nor is the French Government so earnest as could be desired. It has also refused to renew the Treaty that previously existed in reference to this interesting subject, although it has not gone the full length of the American one in refusing every means of ascertaining that the ship is en titled to display the flag it has assumed. It has, however, practically sanctioned the infamous sys tem, by reviving the trade under a different name —giving it the specious designation of Voluntary Emigrlxtion(l) Where the unfortunate Emigrants are brought bound hand and foot to the port, sold to the supercargo for a stipulated price, and kept in shackles during the voyage on which they so willingly embarked. The recent case in Liberia, where the emigrants rose against their oppressors, and rightfully and properly killed the men who were trying to rob them of their liberty, shows the real character of the new trade to which France has given its sanction. But as the receiver is worse than the thief, Spain occupies the worst position of any, and more especially because there is a still subsisting treaty with Great Britain on the subject. If she were in earnest, it is notorious that the trade could be suppressed. But Cuba is the convenient point where the dealers in "sable commodities" can ' always find safety, shelter, and customers. The authorities are enriched by the unhallowed bribes which they receive, and yet she expects England to protect her possession of that very Cuba, which she allows to be made the receiving-shop, the " fence," where the plunder is disposed of. Lord MALXESBURY spoke out boldly and plainly, and we trust that the truths which he enunciated will have the effect of inducing Spain to adopt a more equitable and judicious course. She may other wise, when too late, find that " honesty is indocd the best policy," for nations as well as for indi , viduds. Commemoration week at Oxford illustrates, iu a rather amusing way, the absolutely unrestricted freedom of speech enjoyed under our constitution. Perhaps, too, we have no more reliable signs of the Times than those furnished by the cries raised at the enecenia or commemoration of Founders and Benefactors, in the Sheldonian Theatre—by the choral voices of those very outspoken alumni, the undergraduates. It is not merely that those assembled in the amphitheatre, and upon the stage of that classic edifice, to witness the admis sion to the honorary degree of D.C.L. of the chosen celebrities of the Law—among whom, upon this occasion, were cordially greeted Viscount STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE, the eminent and veteran diplomatist, together with Viscount ETERSLEY, the late distinguished and popular Speaker of the House of Commons ; besides the gallant Major-General "wows, and that witty wag (" Sam Slick"), the Hon. Mr. Justice thosestice H A a L s l s ß e l:T m lt b T l o e N d -it is not merely, we say, that to witness these and other interesting ceremonials, groans and biases j learn by dissonant volleys of (whenever his name is mentioned) ho w unpopular the Senior Proctor is, or by contrasting ch eers how sunny and genial is the respect for the Vice- Chancellor. The discriminating cries of the col legians extend even beyond the varied charms of the ladies present —beyond the welcome accorded to the pink bonnets and the affluent crinoline—to an indulgence in the nicest distinctions among the Party Cries of the day—to the ovation of some of the great politicians by shouts of approval, and to the taboo of others by sibilation the most derisive. It is not in any way, then, surprising to note in regard to the last encomia on Wednesday, that the de mand of those groans for the Cabal was heartily responded to : any more than that mingled cheers and hissing should have greeted the mention of the name of Lord PALMERSTON. It is significant to remark the general cheering accorded to the Bishop of OXFORD and Dr. PIISEY—and one is almost tempted to wonder whether the former might not have claimed to himself some of the eulogistic shouts for SAM SLICK greeting the name and the person of the Hon. Justice HALIBURTON. Discordant hisses and cheers, blened together in most admired confusion, followed the mention of Mr. GLADSTON Z , member for and p r id e o f th e University though he is—doubtless the hisses having reference to the hair-splitting politician, THE CAGLIARI QUESTION. LORD MALMESBURY'S ULTIMATUM AND THE NEAPOLITAN REPLY. The following is a translation of the last despatch addressed by Lord Malmesbury to the Neapolitan Minister of Foreign Affairp, Commendatore Carafa, containing the ultimatum of the British Govern ment. _ _ -- - - MAY 25, 1858. I have had the honour of stating to your Excel lency, in my previous note, the amount of the in demnity which her Majesty's Government demands of the Neapolitan Government for the two English engineers, and I explained to you the reasons and the motives which my Government thinks that the Neapolitan Government will see fit to change the decision expressed in your Excellency's note of the 6th inst. But should the Neapolitan Government persist altogether in its refusal to make the reparation re quired, her Majesty's Government, strong in the conviction of its right, would be fully justified in treating the matter seriously, and in obtaining by force the accomplishment of its demand. It might immediately adopt some measures, such as de crees of any embargo, or reprisals, which would secure the recovery of the indemnity demanded, and which would, moreover, be entirely in accord ance with precedents. But her Majesty's Government is desirous of giving to all civilised nations au evident proof of its moderation and of its constant adhesion to the principle consecrated by the protocol of the Con ferences of Paris of the 14th of April, 1856, to which the Neapolitan Government itself gave its adhesion in the month of June following, and it is with such sentiments that her Majesty's Govern ment wishes to submit the question now under dis cussion between itself and the Neapolitan Govern ment to the mediation of a friendly Power. Her Majesty's Government adopts this course of moderation with the greater solicitude because the disproportion which exists between the resources which the Government of Great Britain can dis pose of, and those of the Neapolitan Government, is too great to imply the possibility of any erro neous interpretation of the motives by which her Majesty's Government is guided. If, therefore, this methol of terminating the dis pute is followed, it is untiece.eary to indicate to your Excellency the reasons which would oppose themselves to the choice as mediator of one of the courts represented in the Congress of Paris. Her Majesty's Government would consequently propose to the Neapolitan Government to invite the Swedish Court to occupy this place of mediator between them, and in the hope of preventing the employment of measures which the Government of her Britannic Majesty is sincerely desirous to avoid. Although the direct and the most immediate duty of her protect the persons of the two English engineers Majesty's Government has been to who have been imprisoned and afterwards released by the Neapolitan. Government, it nevertheless considers that the responsibility of the Ministers of the Crown of Great Britain does not stop there. The capture of the Cigliari, and the judgment upon that case is a matter which touches all na tions whose interest it is to protect, and to estab lish upon a safe and undoubted basis, the principles of maritime law on the open sea, and to no coun try is this question more important than to Great Britain. The peculiar circumstances which preceded the seizure of the Cagliaria have in appearance justified that act in the eyes of jurists and politicians. Her Majesty's government, then, does not wish to pro test against the first act, which, though still illegal, may be considered as having been a necessary one, and justifiable on the part of the commanders of the Neapolitan ships of war which effected her capture. But the decree of seizure, and the detention of the crew prolonged during eleven months, have been declared by the mosseminentjurisconsults of England an act not justifiable in law. Her Majesty's government then, cannot hesitate to give its assent to the unanimous opinion of its jurisconsults, and it must regard such an act of vio lence, thus consummated and maintained, and capable of afterwards becoming a precedent, as an act which seriously infringes the maritime interests of Great Britain. During the whole time of these unfortunate dis cussions her Majesty's government has continued in correspondence with the Sardinian cabinet, in the hope of learning that the Neapolitan government had yielded to the demands of Sardinia, and had restored a vessel which it had no right to seize, and released the crew who did not fall within its juris diction. This hope has not been realised ;on the contrary, the Neapolitan Government has replied with a categorical refusal on thoe two points. Her Majesty's Government has consequently, at the request of Sardinia, promised to use its good offices to support the just demands of the latter Government. The conviction of her Majesty's Government that the demand of Sardinia is just, is founded on and supported by the repeated opinions of the crown lawyers, and if the Neapolitan Government recognises the necessity of satisfying the demands which more especially concern English interests, her Majesty's Government, in addition, urgently presses it upon considerations of justice and hu manity, to accede to the demand of Sardinia. Shouldthe Neapolitan Government be inclined to persist in rejecting the demands of Sardinia, as well as those of Great Britain, the Government of her Majesty has agreed with the Sardinian cabinet to adopt the opinion of this Government, which is, that the principle of the protocol of Paris ought to be maintained in this case, and it will consequently propose that the affair of the Cagliari and the judg ment of her crew should be submitted to the same mediating Power that has been demanded for the question of the indemnity to the English engineers, and that pending the result of such media - ion the Sardinian crew should be set at liberty upon bail. Her. Majesty's Government, in suggesting this mode of proceeding, both as regards the indemnity to the English subjects and as regards Sardinia, is actuated by the two fold motive of obtaining justice for those who have been injured and of not com promising the rights and dignity of his Sicilian Ma jesty. Her Majesty's Government would congra tulate itself should the Government of the Two Sicilies hasten to assent to a proposal calculated to put an end to the ques - ions at issue. By this appeal to a friendly power the Government of the Two Sicilies would be enabled to avoid those measures, which a refusal of the indemnity demanded in behalf of the two English engineers would render inevitable. — I have the honour, &c., (Signed) MALMESBURY. The following is the reply from the Commendatore Carafa to the Earl of Malmesbury, intimating the compliance of the Neapolitan Government with our demands : Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Naples, June 8. My Lord,—ln reply to the letter, which your Excellency has done me the honour of addressing to me, under date of the 25th of May last, I hlsten to acquaint you that the Government of the King, my august master, has never imagined, or been able to imagine, that it could find means to oppose the forces which the Government of her Britannic Majesty has at its disposal. Setting out from the point suggested by the ten - our of the said letter, that the affair of the as your Excellency clearly expre sses it, Cagliari, " cn to n o one be of greater importance tha n to Great Britain," the Neapolitan Government finds that it has neither any argument to propou nd nor any opposition to make to it. I have the honour of informing your Excellency that the stun of three thousand pounds sterli n g , paid into the mercantile house of Pook (sic), is at the disposal of the English government. As far as conc erns the men forming the crew of the Cagliari, now under trial before th e Grand Criminal Court of Salerno, and the Cagliari her self, I have it in my power to announce to you that the men and the vessel are at the disposal of Mr. Lyons ; they are consigned to him ; their departure will depend on him ; and orders have been given to the competent authorities. This being settled, the government of his Sicilian Majesty ha s no need to accept any mediation, and it delivers up everything to the absolute will (assoluta volunta) of the British Govern m ent. I have the honour to be, with the highest con sideration, your Excellency's most devoted and obliged servant, (Signed) CARAFA. ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF THE BELGIANS. —Hie Majesty the King of the Belgians, her Imperial High ness the Duchess of Brabant, and their Royal High nesses the Duke of Brabant and the Count of Flanders arrived yesterday at Buckingham Palace on a visit to her Majesty. A BARONY FOR SIR CoLIN CAMPBELL. —Although Sir,Colin Campbell's elevation to the peerage has not yet been gazetted, we can state, on good authority, that the Queen has already been pleased to confer a barony upon the gallant general, and that be will take the title of Lord Campbell.—Homeward Nail. PROFESSOR AIRY'S SON FINED. —At the Greenwich police cuurt yesterday, Wilford Airy, son of Professor Airy, the Astronomer Royal, was fined 20s. for inde. cently bathing in the rest rvt it cf Greenwich Park, be. Lniging to the East Kent Watt.rNorks Company. THE PLATE ROBBERY AT LORD FOLEY'S. The jury acquitted Benjamin, Caerry, and the female, Prickett ; but found NVheteton, De Pusey, and Partridge guilty ; the former (Lord Foley's servant) was sentenced to six years' and the other two three years' penal servitude. MONTENEGRO. A. Vienna letter, in the Augsburg Gazette says : —" The Cologne Gazette and several other journals have announced that a convention has been con cluded between Austria and Turkey relative to the affair of Montenegro, and that England has been invited to accede to it. We can declare from authentic information that this statement is abso lutely false. No convention of the kind has been concluded." HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The " Old House" has added another laurel branch to its numerous honourable wreaths, in the eminent and distinguished success which attended the revival of " Lucrezia Borgia" last evening. We anticipated " great things" from the unusually strong cast, but scarcely expected such a perfect and enchanting performance as was afforded. Donizetti has cloathed a powerful story with exqui site music in this popular opera, and we may confi dently assert that greater justice has never been done to the composer, in the combined treatments of vocal execution, dramatic expression, ,and gene ral scenic illustration. Madlle. Titians was truly greatas Lacrezia, and this part may be fairly rec ironed among her fi'iest efforts. Her beautiful singing was thoroughly qualified by her acting sympathies, and elicited the most rapturous applause. The air, " Am.a tua madre 6 tenore" was made most tenderly impressive by her womanly softness and delicate feelieg breathing through it, and her " 0, at to bada" thrilled the audience with its impaesione 1 intensity. The Orsina of Madame Alboni was such as we believe only Alboni could render it. She has made the part essentially her own, and the rounds of extatic applause, in one instance amouiring to a double encore, must have been proudly gratifying to the accomplished artiste, who is, unquestion ably, one of the richest contralto soprano's on the lyric boards—..ia fact, the delight excited by her Segro o per esser felici," testified itsslf in a furore,'which was quite refreshing to witness. Guig- Hui sustained the character of Gennaro with great success, and achieved additional honour for his al readyhigh artisticfame. The pointing and pathos with which he sang " Di pescator ignobile" amply deserved the reception it met with. The Duke Al fonso of Belletti afforded all the sound and musician like qualities which render this singer conspicuous. A. better representative of the role is not to be found. With such a cast for " principals" as the above, and with such artists as Benevantano, Sondina, Aldighieri, and others of the same stand- ing, in the minor parts, we need fear no refutation in asserting that the favourite opera of " Lucrezia Borgia" was never given with greater clat. The audience was duly alive to the beauties presented, and for brilliancy, number, and enthusiastic sense of enjoyment ; far exceeded any we have.seen this season, affording one of the greatest triumphs ever gained on the boards of her Majesty's Theatre. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. We may unequivocally assert that the histrionic event of the season will be the presence of Madame Ristori, the great Italian tragedienne, whoappeared at this theatre on Wednesday evening in the cha racter of Lady Macbeth; inaugurating a series of classical performances, which will yield inexpres sible pleasure to the educated lovers of high-class drama. The mantle, fallen from the departed Rachel, is fitly resume d by Ristori, and the elec trifying power of the living, appears a sort of consolatory eulogium on the illustrious dead. The wonderful mental conception of Madame Ristori is only equalled by her vivid and natural b d e r a m satisfiedr ti c delineation.suc h an Shakespeare impersonationhi might Lady himself f f Macbeth as was given by this gifted artiste, for the various phases of ambition and re• morse were embodied with the truth and ful ness which Genius alone can infuse into the crea tions of our immortal bard —stamping this Italian daughter of Art as the ablest representative of those creations which this cge affords. Want of space precludes our entering into the beauties of the tragedy so copiously as we fain would, but at an early opportunity the expression of our admiration will be freely indulged in. The present engagement of Madame Itistori is limited to twelve nights only, but we earnestly hope that the number of performances may be extended for - the gratification of the English public.
