(.11ear,, hear.) . And as to schools, ladies and gentlemen, - depend upon - it - that that is an idle - apprehension, and, that the schools which pay the greatest attention to their best boys will as a gene ral rule, pay th e grea t es t attent i on to all their boys. (Hear, hear.) As to the apprehended preponde rance of the intelleetnal over the moral qualities, I will venture to say to those who ma k e suc h an. ob jection, that they are under an erroras serious as can. well be conceived ; - for if there is one -fact more generally and conclusively established than another,.. by examinati ons o f th e te a c h ers of youth,. it is this, that 'diligence, and the self-denial which - diligence-involves, are in themselves a .test of moral qualities, no less than the ..promise of in tellectual distinction. (Hear.) But now, ladies and gentleirien; these are topics upon Which others may perhaps enlarge with greater propriety. I must, however, say a few words in explanation of the main consideration which.induces me to urge, this resolution on your notiCe. I see in this resolution, and in the subject to which it relates, not the , close and consummation of the examinations which have lately been held, but the rbeginning • of greater things. I see- in Ilion the resuniption by the a ncient universities of the country- of their truere .. thanks to the University of Oxford for instituting these middle-class examinations. • .KordINGESTRE. seconded the resolution, and i t wag carried by acclamation.

'Wright, Fulwood's Rents, Holborn NICOLLS'_ NEW REGISTERED PALETOT has all those advantages which- secured finch general popularity to Messrs. Nicolls' original paletot, that is to say, it avoids giving to the wearer an outré appearance, so that professional men and all others can use it during.morning and afternoon in or out of doors.' Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary seams, well known to secure a more graceful out line, as well as to effect a peat saving in wear ;- the latter advantage is considerably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly stitched binding, the mode of effecting which is patented. Great exertions are being made to supply Messrs. Nicolls' agents throughout the country and the colonies with an assortment of this new garment, simulta neously with the display in London, but it is necessary to in form the public that all Messrs. Nicolls' manufactures may be distinguished by a trade mark, consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy this is fraud, and may be thus detected. If the garment is dark-coloured, the label has a black ground, with the firm's name and address woven by the Jacquard loom in gold-coloured silk ; if the garment is light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground, and red silk letters. Each paletot is marked in plain figures, at a fixed moderate prfce, and is of the best materials. In London, the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of and D.

Gentlemen' at Eton, Harrow, Winchester, the Military an d Naval, Schools, waited on by appointment. A great variety of materials adapted for the Kilted or Highland Costume, as worn by the Royal Princes, may be seen at :WARWICK_ HOUSE, 142 and 144, Regent-street. FOIL LADIES. NICOLIS PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK twi combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. , No Lady having seen or used such in travelling, for m'orninT wear, or for covering full dress would willingly be-without one. 'lt somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and measures from 12 to 16 yards round the outer edge, falling in graceful folds froin the shoulders ; but by a mechanical contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty ; at the Katie time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral colonred shower-proof Woollen Cloths manu factured by this firm. The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak ; but with the Mecanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more is charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who prepare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding Habit—are in good taste and tit well. Female'attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames h Cheval, partially composed of Chamois. As no measure is required the Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift. H. J. and D.

It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few-facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." Ile tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought shine of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was lionderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. A7ain we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, .Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

We 'live in an age &Submarine Telegraphs, for since the difficult task of submerging the Atlantic Cable has been accomplished,' hardly a week has passed that some new telersraphic nerve has not been laid from the English shores to those of our continental and island neighbours. Not only have the Channel - Islands been recently placed within speaking distance of the metropolis, and the North Sea at last intersected by a cable, which combines the very necessary, but rather unusual, qualities of being anchor as well as water proof; but even within the last few weeks the manufacture of seve ral submarine cables for the Australian colonies has been commenced. The skill in manufacturing and laying submarine lines,'as well as the demand for direct and rapid cOmmunication, have both increased so much of late, that companies are now no longer satisfied to have the messages with which they are entrusted concentrated from all parts of Europe to one given spot on the coasts of Holland or France, and from thence to find their way to England through the common highways of the Dover, Os tend, or the. Hague cables. While such ready and certain means exist of laying submarine wires direct between'_given points across the ocean as do at pre sent, it is never worth while to submit to the delay and inconvenience which must be caused by having one central station to which all messages must'be' sent. The Submarine Telegraph Company, through whose wires nearly all the 'communications from the North of Europe are transmitted, have found the delay and inconvenience of having messages on their way to England trammelled and re-transmit ted through the continental over-ground lines so great, that they have determined to submerge a line direct across the North Sea from Englan to Embden in Hanover, merely for the conveyance of messages from Hamburg and the Baltic ports. The difficulties in the way of the accomplishment of the undertaking are -of course nothing as compared with those which have been successfully combated in the laying' of other cables of much smaller length, and those which do not exist arise entirely from the shallowness of the water, not, as is usually the case, from its depth. Throughout the whole line of route from Weybourn, on the coast of Norfolk, to Embden, a distance of about - 250 miles, the depth of water never exceeds 30 fathoms, and rarely more than from 10 to 20. Therefore, though no strength is required in the cable to resist any strain caused by its own weight in submersion, yet, from its having to resist the continual wash of the sea in such shallow water, a very massive rope has been found "necessary.. In construction it differs very little from the other cables submerged in the North Sea, except in containing in the coire two insulated conductors, each conducting wire being formed of four fine copper wires twisted into a strand, and insulated separately with three cover ings of gutta percha. The conducting wires are twisted up into a rope with several strands of rope yarn, which is afterwards served round with more yarn to consolidate it into a solid coire. This is again covered by a protecting coating, formed of twelve iron wires, each 3-16ths of an inch in dia meter. The cable, when completed, is about an inch in diameter, and is capable of bearing a strain of 20 tons, though weighing only about three tons to the mile. But to resist the accidents which may occur to it in the shallow water on the coast, even this great strength and solidity is not deemed suf ficient ; therefore about 25 miles of thick shore end has been made, covered with ten quarter-inch iron wires, which makes its strength equal to bear nearly 40 tons direct strain. About five mil es o f this thick cable will be laid on the Norfolk coast, and twenty miles on the Hanoverian side, as the water there is unusually shallow. The whole length of the cable, viz., 280 miles, is completed, and is now being coiled away on board the Wil liam Corry, from the works of the manufacturers (Messrs. Glass and Elliott), at East Greenwich. Of course the stowage of a cable of this size and rigidity is by no means a matter of such ease as would be imagined. The whole of has to be coiled away by hand, a process which its great 'elasticity renders both tedious and difficult. It is stowed away on board the ship in four great coils, two in the hold, containing about 85 miles - each, and two on the lower deck, one containing 85 miles of the cable and, the other about 20 miles of the shore end. To prevent the least possibility of a knot occurring, the coils are made the whole width of the ship (33 feet), and 44 long. No cone is used in the centre of the coils to facilitate the paying out, the great rigidity of the cable rendering , all interior support to the coils, with the exception of a few cross stays, quite unne cessary. The total weight of the cable is very nearly a thousand tons, and though the sea in which the operations are to be performed is -not by any means a stormy one, yet it must be confessed that the ship looks unpleasantly low in the water even to encounter theordinary weather which may be expected at this time of the year. However, as Messrs. Glass' and Elliott have contracted for the laying as well as the manufacture of the cable, there can be very little doubt that all will be car ried out successfully. Of course in laying such a strong and heavy rope in such a very shallow sea no complicated machinery is required for the pay ing out. It is merely necessary to reduce the speed of the cable to that of the ship, which can be readily t a h t pleasure difficult operation a accomplished by p ass i ng th e w i re two or three times e lev coilinge r brake. alya over a large d r u m , th e mot i on of which is retarded o m has a Seld heavycable proceeded with such rapidity as it has in this in stance; though the wo r k was not regularly com menced until. Tuesday morning last, the whole length of nearly 300 miles will be stowed away en board by Thursday or Friday. The William Corry will leave East Greenwich probably on Saturday, and will at once proceed to Weybourn, from whence, after landing the end, she will start immediately on -her voyage. In all probability, should the weather be at all favourable, the absolute operation of lay ing the cable across the sea portion o f th e route will not occupy more than two days, but for a consider able distance from Embden the water is so shallow 'that the cable will have to be laid to the shore from boats. The transhipment and coiling away the wire into these boats will of course occupy a considerable time in fine weather, and cannot be performed at all should the sea be rough. Sel dom has a cable been manufactured upon the electrical condition of which such care and attention has been bestowed ; every mile of it was tested under water as soon as finished, and by this care a very considerable fault which might hot erwise have escaped notice was discovered and cut out. the same method of testing been applied to the Atlantic cable its present condition might have been very different., Slight faults in the gutta percha covering, which are caused either by air bubbles or faulty joinings, may escape observation should the wire be only tested on shore, but when immersed in water, and curreats of the usual strength trans mitted through it, any slight defect which is likely to affect the working of the line is sure to be made instantly manifest.- This cable is,- we believe the longest heavy cable, with the exception of that MIIII6 CARLISLE, who, after alluding to the gratification which the proceedings of the week and of that day had giyen.- him, said that he rejoiced tCrfind that the „, Unitersity of Oxford, where he resided_ during a few happy years of youth, was . coming 'forward to elicit, to stimulate, and to reward the intellectual energies of - the great middle class of this - country.. There had been much .controversy with respect _to - the whole subject of middle-class examination, with which; hcrwever . , - he would not trouble the meeting, but would beg to offer his congratulation to .the youths present for what they had already ieliki-ed, :and his earnest exhortation to them to persevere in the noble and laudable career upon which they had entered. Every day the possession of knowledge and the mastery of mind were - becOraing More the conditiOns of -success and the avenues to faine, and the exercise and proper direction of the intellect, the taste, and the fancy,- brought pleasures altogether independent of success and of their worldly pursuits.

But pleasure was not entitled to he considered.as the real business of our responsible lives ; and though success had many high and noble qualities, particularly when it fe- • the industry and enterprise of such men as Mr. Brown, or crowned the genius of such-men as• Mr. Gladstone, he would have thent remember that success was compatible with lax principles, vulgar feelings, and vicious habits, and might be reached in this world of trial by . those. men who • showed no title to' the loVe" of theirfelloivs or to the favour of • afiilgliiiinfiesaf but what we ter life cannot their God: (Cheers.) -Be yours (said hi s l or d s hi p ) a still loftier, a more real ambition.

The prizes having been delivered to the success ful compctitorS, . The Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE next rose to address the meeting. He said—My Lord Carlisle,' ladies, and gentlemen, the principal purpose of this great meeting has, as. I conceive, been already ac complished; for that principal purpose, in my view, has not had reference to the great, body of the in telligent inhabitants of Liverpool who compose this vast assembly—deeply interested as they are in the preSent Occasion—but has had reference-to -those young persons who, in the spring time of their lives, have come here, not so much to receive the rewards of their past labours, us to hear words of encouragement and of instruction, which are to stimulate them in their future course. Those words, I trust, have been deeply engraven on their hearts, for they have come, with every • advantage that in struction could receive, from one.'of the most dis- tinguished and excellent, as well as one of themost eminent in station of all the subjects of her Ma jesty. (Hear, hear.) But something still remains to be done, and I have undertaken to propose to _you a resolution by which, if you will adopt it, you will express your gratitude to the University of Oxford for having organised a system of local examinations throughout the country, which has for its object the benefit of the community at large and especially of the middle classes of our fellow. subjects. Now, my lord, I must say one word on the character in which I appear before you, although I say it with reluctance, because too much by far has already been said, through the partiality of other speakers upon that subject. I must forget, as far as I can, my connection with the University of Oxford, for upon the present occasion--4 say it, ladies and gentlemen, in deep sincerity—l am speak ing to you as one ofyourselves. (Cheers.) Associated with the town of Liverpool by birth, and by a thou sand ties, I feel that I should have deserted the most sacred of duties if I had failed to take the, op portunity which your kindness has afforded me of speaking to you the convictions of my heart upon a subject like the one of to-day, with which, unless I am greatly, mistaken, so much is involved of what concerns the welfare of this community. I trust you will agree to express your thanks to the Univer sity of Oxford for the pains they have taken, and the readiness and promptitude with which they have moved, in order to meet a crying national want. It is sometimes thought—and perhaps not without reason—that it is in the nature of such bodies to be tardy in meeting the exigencies of the day; and undoubtedly their spirit is—and their spirit, I may venture to say, ought to be—a spirit more anxious about the reality and security than about the rapidity of their progress. But there has been, I may take upon me to assert, no tardiness upon the part of the universities at least upon the present occasion. From the bosom of the universi ties themselves proceeded the impulse—the very first impulse—which led - to this great movement ; and the formal and corporate action of the univer sities seconded and gave form to that impulse at the very earliest moment which its most ardent friends could have desired. (Hear, hear.) Well, now, ladies and gentlemen, I trust we feel that the gift which has been offered to us in this matter is a real gift—that these - examinations are to be a real and substantial good. (Hear.) There are some, perhaps, who are sceptical upon that subject. There are some who will tell us—and tell us truly —that a perfectly disinterested love of learning, a love of learning which needs no spur or incentive from without, but which is led forward by the in trinsic charms and graces of the subject, that that is the love of learning which is most truly valuable. This may be so in the abstract ; and there have been cases in which, poverty itself has proved no insur mountable obstacle 'to that thirst for instruction which, in earlier times of less material development led men from the very ends , of the earth to the sources where, knowledge was to be acquired. (Hear.) But we are to consider the wants and the exigencies, the dangers and the temptations, of the particular age in which we liv2, ; and I appeal to you whether it is not true that, in a time of great com mercial enterprise and of rapid commercial develop ment, there is such an increase of the danger that all the higher aspirations of our , nature will be overborne that it becomes us, as wise men—as prac.; tical men—to seek the aid of every instrumentality which may assist us in_ keeping alive that culture of the human mind and of the human intellect which has donee, so .much. for this country and for Christendom; which so greatly contributes to the of life, and without discharge its highest hear.) The sys laavndhodircnnh: n o sentno tsacred t d e s n u o j t c o i n e( t ia e a r tem of examinations which has been organised is no novelty. Those who come from the experience upon longtold: that the effect are told' an u ngenerous if you are told th a t ill lead to the n eg l ec t order that there may ot u hf n a i universities competition subject;msipti e e t s t oann have is ithaydt. introduce t theorif t a h l rivals y stimulusmi na mass the 1 i oef givent i h n e d tspo pupils, schools hlso,ns youth, w be more time and greater opportunity in the higher cultivation of a favoured few—if you are told, as you are sometimes honestly, but erroneously told that the effect of competitien is to give an undue, pre ponderance to the intellectual, as compared with the moral elements of character—rely upon it that those who speak from an experience which has ex tended now over centuries will tell you that you may safely dismiss from your minds at once all such. apprehensions. (Hear.) I say frankly and fear lessly that there is nothing more generous than the sentiments which are inspired into the breasts of youths by rivalry such as that to which I am re ferring. It is in itself essentially incompatible with selfish ideas and objects. Learning isnot a limited quantity in such sense that he who obtains it causes his neighbour to lose it. On the contrary, -every one who obtainsit beconies a standarcl-beartr for others; and the treasures to which he invites latiOn to, allclasses of the, community, as institu tions which have.been the pride and glory of Chris tendom, and which ought to dispense their benefits teal' ranks of- can. fellow-citizens. This was . the Arne aim of the universities upon their first feunda r tion. (Hear.) They never were intendedto be the monopoly of the - rich. (Hear.) They were intenclbd to work the deep mines of eapacityand of character avllielLexist throughout the whole of every civilised, community. (1-lear,'hear.) ,They were intended ,to draw forth from hidden corners and recesses,- Wher-- ever they: existed-, the. materials 'of geniuS and , excellence forlhe glory of,God end .the advantag,-e of the conntrY. (Hoar.) And that aim they fuT filled. (Hear.) Go back to the periods when the great movements -of the hunian'_mind commenced, and see where it Was- that those- processes were elaborated,' and Whence it was that: 400, -500; 600, 700 years ago , light -flowed- in England. - .(Hear.) :It was from the, universities; and'as one great poet, ,has, called Athens the ",Eye of Greece,' so well and truly may it be said, :in TeferenCe to their early history, that the universities of Oxford and Cambridge were the eyes of England. (Hear.) Ladies and gentlemen, I do not say that at present that film-, 'tion is fully discharged. On the contrary, we see that for several centuries theseuniversitie;have per formed duties most important indeed an dmost useful, but comparatively limited.. In the main their utility, has been chiefly confined to' the riCh.. -They have educated the clergy,r_ and in, So, doing have per formed a great service to the conntry; They have educated the greater number—alniost . the *hole, indeed-:-of the Sons of our high nobility. They have educated the principal part of the sages of the law. But that is not,the whole, of their duty. We have in England Vast elasses of men who are 'nee comprised in the' category to which I have - re ferred=—vast -elassesef i'Whom the great. assembly now before me is a specimen —and 1 must confess that I have never come into South ,Lancashire,.. Whether into this town of Liverpoed, :Or into the, great'and intelligent - community of Manchester, without 'feeling deeply what -a blank there was— what a void existed requiring to be; filled up—and 'how the . emmeefion :between' the': univerSities and -this great community of South Lancashire had so dwindled away that it mould make but little differ ence in the universities if South Lancashire were swallowed up, or in South Lancashire if Oxford and Cambridge were in ruins. (Hear, hear.) My Lord, this. is, I hope, a frank, it is certainly a sin cere confession, describing what, in my view, is a' great social evil. At any rate, it shows that we have fallen far Short of that hich :our forefathers designed: 'Am I to be told. that becanSe Liverpool is a great commercial community, 'therefore the higher culture of the human mind is to be banished from its.houndary ? There cannot - be a' grosser error. (Hear, hoar.). - Commerce and learning have been 'united in many communities, and Florence was among the- first of . commercial cities at the very time when it gave - birth ;-to a greater amount of intellectual force and did more for the civiliza tion -of mankind - than - any 'other community at any period of Christian history. Do not, therefore, let us submit to the degrading belief 'that if com merce is to flourish' and grow in Liverpool, Liver pool must of necessity lie behind in reference to those pursuits which do so much to refine and de , rate the human mind, and which forms the prin cipal 'subject *of -our consideration to=day. And permit me, ladies and gentlemen,"to say that if I have spoken strongly on the subject of competitive examinations, and been sanguine in my expectations of beneficial results from them,. I am free to admit that I have perhaps something in the nature of local Sentiment, withal respect, because I feel assured that in any - system of competition that may be established—and provided that it be a fair and open sytems—South Lancashire and Liverpool will hold their own. My lord; in urging on'this meet ing that they should hail the occasion which has called us together to-day, and should consider -the present proceedings as only the very beginning of what is - henceforth to be accomplished, I do so be cause' I feel that those proceedings promise the re newal and the re-establishment ef that relation between the old universities of the country and the great commercial and manufacturing com munities of the country, which is not, , in deed, altogether in abeyance, but which has been feeble, which has been languishing, and which requires to be reinvigorated and restored. The universities cannot afford to dispense with the aid and moral influence which they would derive from striking their roots deeper among you. They are at present engaged almost entirely, although not exclusively, in providing education for the rich —for a class which will, if the universities do not provide it for them, contrive, in virtue of their riches, to provide it for themselves. We desire to see them providing education for those who are not able to provide it, at least in its highest - form, from their own resources. (Hear.) Your lordship has been pleased -to connect my name with that of a geat poet, whose works, by us and by our chil dren, must always be held in honour. May I be permitted to refer to' one representation of that great master bard ? He tell us that the army of the Trojans marched with noise and clamour because they were ill-aSsorted and. ill-combined; but that the army of Greeks marched in silence and with order, awaiting the word of command from their officers, because they had one heart and one spirit, within them. 'We-happily, in England, see,' in no small measure, even now—and I hope ,that, as years roll on, we shall see it more and more—the realisation of that noble feature of the Greek army which is the model of every great, happy, and peace ful community. We see---and I hope yet more to gee—England quiet and contented, because she has one mind and one heart within her. That unity and harmony will rise higher in proportion as 'the insti tutions of the country are bound to fulfil their work—in proportion as all parties are more and more bound together by kindly feeling and reciprocal 4.dvantage4 and there never was a happier instance than that afforded by the meeting now'before me of that happy l association and binding together which, by the favour of Providence, so eminently charac terises England, as compared with so many of the other countries of the world. I ask you, ladies and gentlemen, to express to the universities those feel ings which will animate and impel thenito continue the career upon which they have entered ; and I confess I am sanguine enough to believe that these local examinations will not end with local exami• nations, but that those who are brought into con tact with the culture of. the university, through the medium of local examinations, will in great and increasing numbers desire to partake of the benefits of residence in the universities themselves. On the other hand, I entertain a 'sanguine hope that the universities, finding this disposition existing, not be wanting either in skill or promptitude In adapting their arrangements to the existing wan of the community ; that they will so frame them as to enable the youth of Liverpool, and of other placese similarly circumstanced, to resort to them for benefit of the training which they give, without making a sacrifice of those years which it ith s impos sible for them to devote to the pursuit of learning without a departure from the absolute and necessary purposes of a commercial community. All thiswe have before us in hope, and in 'prospe . ct it forms a pleasing picture and depend upon it that if we will only in detail—each in his own private 'circle, in his family and in society—endeavour to give it effect, there is nothing . contained in it which reason able men may not hope to see speedily achieved for the benefit of the country. (Hear.) The work, allow me to say, is one which, if successfully carried on, will not be the least importantof the performances Ofthe remarkable age in which we live, and will contribute, in modes and degrees—far more than any. among us can now distinctly reckon—both to increase female happiness and virtue, and likewi se to the maintenance of England, and the discharge of the duties of England, as one of the very fore most among -those • nations which- lead the cause of civilisation in the World: The right hen: gehtle; man concluded by wring a resolution conveying The quarterly meetings — of the iron and coal mas ters, which- coinmeneeden.Tuesday at Walsall, and terminated on Saturday evening at Dudley, are chiefthe feature of the week - in connection with the trade of this district. It is satisfactory to be able to report than they indicated an improvement in our great staple trade, which we could hardly have an ticipated a few weeks ago. At the meeting held on Monday, the attendance was numerous and highly respectable; including amongst others Lord Haller ton, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Stafford, P. -. Williams, Esq., Hi g h Sheriff,- Mr. Foster, ALP., several magistr a te s , a l arge num b er of shipping agents from from London interested Liverpool, Hull, fie., and merchants in the trade. As usual, at the commencement of the meeting, rumours in fa vour of a - reduction of the prices were in circulation, but it soon became obvious from •the determination of those gentlemen. who :usually govern the trade„. that the resolution of the preliminary meeting would be adhered to, and orders whieh had been held back were consequently given out. Contrary to expeetatimi many of them were furnished by the. American merchants, and this fact on being known imparted increased confidence to the meeting. The reports relative to the American market were altogctizer,muclj More satisfactory than' they have been since the panic, and hopes are now entertained that we May look for - Wttrd to a speedy revival of trade inthat qiiarler. I am sorry to say the demand for our railway companies, and for -building-par- . posed, is limited. The serious depreciation in the railway dividends -precludes the possibility of outlay by the directors beyond absolute necessity,, and very few orders were given for rails or chairs.. In building there is little doing, and many interests in this district are very seriously affected by the unfavourable state of that important trade. On the Whole, -however the ironmasters have reason to congratulate themselves on the meetings of the , week. There were no fresh . embarrassments . and nounced,.andthensual quarterly accounts were very well met. Tewa 3 4S tic close of the meeting, Lord liatherton and - the other magistrates held a- pri vate conference relative to the unfortunate strike amongst the colliers. - It was stated, I believe, that some of the men had gone in since the publication of the resolutions of the masters - of which I sent . you: a:cnpy last week.: When the men found that the • document was signed by nearly if not every firm of weight and.importance in the district, and that the alternative of 4s. a-day, or none at allovas placed before them; they began to give way, and sonic went down into the pits. Offers of a compro mise, through - arbitration, were also made by the leaders of the men, but not-accepted, and I am led to. believe they will ere long, give way. - The poor fel lows have endured .great . privations in the, main-- tenance of what they deem their just _rights; but it 'would, seem that time • and circumstances are against them. The demand for iron and coal is by no means equal to our immense powers of produc tion, and the competition between this district and the Scotch and Welsh masters, and I fear we must now add the American masters, is so great as to render it all but impossible to realise profit' upon capital and give good wages: Under these circum 'stances all parties are being pinched, the weakest, as usual, suffering most severely. - The men who have not yet gone into work have announced a large meeting for Monday next, at IVestbromwich, and their wives and children are to be - assembled in another part of the district. The affair is alto gether painful, and the'Sooner it is brought to a termination the better. In the manufacturing parts of the district the vhrious trades are rather improving, with the ex ception of those appertaining to the building trade. At Walsall the saddlers are better employed than they were, and the chain and cable makers are also on full time. In this town the general hardware trade is brisker. We have had a tolerably good demand for various articles during the week, principally for foreign markets . TliC military gun trade is abOut receivins: another imPetus. An order has been just issued' by the Sec retary. at War to advertise for the contract for the manufacture of small arms, &c., and the gunmakers will send in their contracts in a few days. Judging from the large quantity already made, and this new order, it would_ seem as if the requirements for India were increasing. The contracts, however, from whatever cause they may proceed, will be of great use to this town, as many of the works have of late been on rather short time. The birding branch of the gun trade has not been of late brisk, and the men have suffered very considerably. from the fall ing' off in the American orders. The steel pen trade continues active for the foreign Markets, best quality being chiefly in demand; For jewellery, also, we have had increased de mand since Monday, and the hands at the large firms have been on full time. Now that the harvest is all in, the travellers in the agricultural districts are enabled to send home ,some useful order, - sheets for second quality of jewellery and other fancy articles, but from Yorkshire a, n d the manufaCturifig . districts the accounts are not so satisfactory. TILE OXFORD UNITERSII7 MUSEUM : 1 This magnificent structure, the first stone of which was laid by the Earl of Derby in 1855, has made considerable progress during the long- vacation, and great efforts are being made to complete it by the next commemoration, when it is understood that her Majesty will visit Oxford for the purpose of being present at the inauguration. The con tractors, Messrs. Lucas Brothers, have finished their contracts for erecting the main buildings, and the workmen are now chiefly engaged upon the internal fittings. The central tower, with its Rhen ish-Gothic spires, has been completed, as, also the curators's residence a neat and commodious structure at the sOuthleastern angle of the Museum, where Professor Phillips now resides. Professor Brodie has taken possession of the chemical labora tory, with its lofty octagonal roof and four tall chimneys ; and the medical laboratory will be occu pied by Dr. Acland in the course of a few days. The chief feature of the building—the grand central court—promises to become one of the most beauti ful and striking objects of which Oxford can boast. It is 128 feet square, surrounded with an upper and lower corridor of 11 feet wide, and will be crowned with a glass roof resting on light and elegant iron pillars, ornamented with representations of the foliage of British trees, such as the chesnut, oak, maple, &c. The new roof, designed by Mr. Skid more, of Coventry, at an estimated cost of £5,000, is being fitted up at the works in Staffordshire, and is expected to be completed in January next. The unfortunate failure of the original roof has some what retarded the progress of the fabric, but in other respects the works are proceeding in a satisfactory manner. A number of artist workmen are em ployed in carving the capitals and corbels with na tural foliage, illustrating the natural history . of various epochs, climates, and regions, some of which are already finished. On the corbels around the central court will be .placed statues of the great founders and improvers of natural knowledge. Five of these figures have been presented by he r Majesty, nam e ly, those of Bacon, Gallileo, Newton, Leibnitz, and Oersted, and three of them have been already very beautifully executed in Cacn stone by Munro, of London. The undergraduates of the um versity have presented the statues of Aristotle and Cuvier, and 32 are now required to complete the series. Among the subscribers to this truly national work are the Earl of Derby, £lOO ; Mr. w . E. Gladstone, £100; Mr.' M. P. W.B OO o u ; 1 t a o n n d , a o m f stone, £150; Mr. J. Ruskin, jun., £3 the contributors are Sir R. I. Murchison, th e D u c e of Argyll, the Marquis of Breadalba ne , Si r' - W. Tre - - velvan Sir S. Glynne, the E ar l o f H arrowby, Sir B. Brodie, Sir C. Lyell, Mr. S. Ruskin Prof. Sedg wick, Mr. W. Miles, M.P.; and many others emi nent in science and art. Among the works ota pub lic character expressi ve o f the feling which is enter tained in the university on the subject of phy s i c al education, we may mention the erection of a new and commodious gymnasium from a design furnished by Mr. Wilkinson, of Oxford, and erected by Messrs. J. Castle and Co. - It is 85 feet long, 45 feet wide , and .30. feet high, and the centre of the roof will be of the form of a dome, surmounted by a lan tern. It promises to be a handsome and substantial building, and well adapted for the important pur pose to which it will be devoted. The extensive works at Exeter College, upon which £30,000 or £40,000 has been expended during the last few years, are expected to be finished about Easter next. The chapel, which is erected from the de .sign of Mr: G. G. Scott, in the early English deco; rated style of architecture, is 'a magnificent struc ture, and promises to be one of . the finest ecclesi astical edifices -in Oxford, and reminds those -who - ate , familiar 'with Paiis of the - celebrated Sainte Chapelle. l (From theinch.ester gnat-than.. a 1 1 sow, waiving for the present all consideration of the general principles involved in this decision, and of what are likely to be its practical effects, thiS judgment appears-most-unjust -to the wife - uf M. de X The father of this man knew that he had gone to England to get married; the Son himself positively asserted in 'his letters that the • father consented- to . the match ; nay, all Pau envied the good fortune of the successful Cheri, and awaited injoyfullhiffer -Of expectation the arrival of the wealthy Englisfr heiress. Both the father and pon, too, were lawyers, and therefore kuew what formalities were required by the French law to make the marriage binding. Either, then, we must suppose that the whole family of de X---- had deliberately plotted to entrap this girl into an illegal Marriage, in order that they might rob her of the £4,000 they supposed she had, or -if we acquit them of any intention to commit such an act of villany, we must conclude that Messieurs de X- thought enough had been done to coniply with the provisions of the law, and that the plea they afterwards set up only suggested itself to their minds when they wanted a pretext to disem barrass themselves °flan impostor. Although, there fere, the law - may not have been strained by the Court, it is evident that, whichever of these Buppo fAtionx is correct; the Englishwoman is grossly in jured by the judgment. It is impossible not to see that the Court was - strongly influenced by the history of the' deceit that had been practised by the wife. But, if the civil tribunals of France propose to themselves to dissolve all marriages which are contracted on false pretences, they have undertaken a work which Hercules himself might despair of accomplishing. What are false pre tences ? Are false hair and false teeth included in the category ? Will a mate who has married a woniantebelieVes to be an - angel, Mid who finds - out before - the honeymoon is over that she has got a devil of a temper, be entitled to plead for a dis solution of marriage ? The preliminary step. of neglecting to obtain the father's consent is easy ; and in our opinion a husband has as much right to complain that his wife has deceived him in regard to her looks as that she has deceived him in regard to her- fortune. But this M. de X----- deserved the sympathst off the Court no more than a thief does who has lad his own pocket picked while he was attempting to rob somebody else. It is difficult to tell whether he is more ridiculous-on account of •his silly pride of family or on. account of his fortune-hunting pro pensities. He has both in full measure, and both have been rightly punished. When one remembers how often the English are reproached with their exclusive habits and their reverence for aristocratic distinctions, one is amused to find that even in democratic France the grandmother of M. de X-- thinks it necessary to inform his intended wife that his family is a very old one, indeed one of the best noble families in that part of the country ;. his grandfather was physician " to. the King, and his uncle was an officer in the body guard of Charles X. when he Was Monsieur the, Brother - of the - King." ven; M. Brunier, thetotel keeper, is ,of opinion that " from such an ignoble class of society" as Mi ss B- belonged to, " nothing but ho rr ibl e ide as cou ld emana t e ;" and E Cheri himself sends his wife a " little book" to make known to her all about his family, and suf.'. fers almost as much: from the knowledge that lie.. has married a servant as from the loss of the pra-a pert y. It is as a fortune hunter, however, that he . excels., An excuse has been made - for - him that he. loved . his wife - mbre• than her money because he wrote her an affectionate letter when. he_wanted to get out of prison ; but h's subsequent eondii - et ihows hini in - his true colours. - The fact. is, he thought MiSs B 's £4,006 would do nicely to clear off the, inciimbtances on Ms little estate of £lOO a : year, and would help him to attain sooner than he otherwise would that dignity of sub-prefect which is the highest object - of his ambition. So he plunged headlon g into- matrimony with whom he supposed to be an heiress, and found that lie had caught a servant girl. But Miss Ellen B did nothing more than turn his own guns upon the enemy. We do not defend the morality of the action ' • but we arc decid e dly o f op i n i on th at i t seriedhim right, The French court, - however, ought not to have considered these circumstances at all ; the ques tion they had to deCide was-purely a legal one ; awl we cannot but fear that their decision •in this case will give rise to great abuses. It is hard that when a Frenchman' enters into what he knows to :be- an illegal marriage with a foreigner, the innocent wife should suffer for his act. Look what encouragement this judgment gives to designing adventurers. Put the ease that the young:Englishwoman had really been possessed - of £4,000, and- that the husand, after getting the money ints . his own h an d s , h a d come before the oourt and pleaded that his fatherhad not given his consent to the marriage. If his plea were proved, It decree would necessarily be pronounced in his favour. The hint, we hope, will be sufficient to English parents, who have daughters likely to be fascinated by interesting foreigners. It is, an. Unpleasant predicament for a lady to be a wife ac cording to English law and a single woman accord ing to French law ; yet, unless precaution is taken, many English girls may be placed in this position. The high-minded and philosophic Brunier writes to his friend M. de X . " after a residence of six teen vears in England, I have learned of what stuff English parents and their marriageable daughters are made. You cannot imagine what these two sets of beings are capable of doing—the one for the sake of money, and the otherto get hold of a hus band." It never occurred to M. Brunier to doubt that it was perfectly honourable in his friend to make a prey of any English heiress who should be foolish enough to accept him. There are too many foreigners like M. de X and M. Brunier; and we trust that, whatever English ladies " are Capa ble of. doing," they will be on their guard in future against such men, lust they share the fate, with sharing, the follies, of Miss Alice, Ellen B JIOP INTELLIGENCE. -Edenbridge, Oct. 11—flop-picking is brought to a close.
