Wrify,ht, Fulwood's Rents, Holborn NICOLLS' NEW REGISTERED PALETOT has all those advantages which secured suCh general popularity to Messrs. Nicolls' origirfltl 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 great 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 price, and is of the best materials. In London, the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill. A NEW DEPARTMENT. FOR YOUTH, &C. ErS. and D.

NICOLLS'• PATENT *HIGHLAND- CLOAK isa combination of utility, eleganee, and comfort. No Ladphaving seen or used such in travelling, for morning wear, or for covering full dress would willingly be without one. It somewhat resembles the old 'Spanish Roquelaire, and has an elastic Capacine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and - measures from 12 to 16 yards round the outer edeo, r-ta. tue shouluers ; but Dy a meenanical contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty ; at the sp.me time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral coloured shower-prwt" 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 fit well. Female:attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames it 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.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. 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 Nines." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rap►dly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again 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.

Both the father and son, • too, were lawyers, and therefore knew w h a t f ormal i t i es were required by the French lain to make the marriage bi n di ng . Di t h er, t h en, v m her ust t s h u e p: suppose that the su p i p v o h s o e l d e f s a h n e i i had, of had deliberately plotted to entrap thi s g i r l ey into an illegal marriage, in order that th e y m i g ht ro d,or de we .acquit them of any intention to commit such an act, of villany, we must conclude that Messieurs do X thought enough had been done to comply - with the provisions, of the law, and that the plea fney afterwards set up only suggested itself to their minds when they wanted a pretext to disem barrass themselves ofan impostor. Although, there fore; the law may not have been strained by the Court, it is evident that, whichever of , sal . . ons 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 lxiv iiv 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 man.. who has married: a wo - aaan he - believes to be an angel, and who finds ou't before the honey Moon 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 i s eas y ; 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. d e X--- deserved the sympathy of - the Court no more than a thief does who has had . - his own pocket picked while he was attempting to rob somebody else. It is difficult to tell whether • he is more ridiculous ii account of his silly pride of family or on AopQt iit . his fortune-hunting pro pensities.

Even M. Brunier, fne hotel keeper, is of opinion that " from such an i.gnoble class- of society" as Miss B— belonged to, " nothing but horrible ideas could emanate ;" and 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 he has married a servant. as from the loss of the-pro r petty. It is as a fortune hunter, however, that he eccels. ' An excuse has lieen Made for him that Irp -loVed his wife more, th an h er money because he wrote her an affectionate letter when he wanted to . get out :of prisiall but his subsequent Conduct shows him in his true colours. The fact is, lie thought Miss B 's-.£4,000 - would do nicely to elear - off - - the incumbrances on Lis „little estate of £lOO a- Year, and would help him to attain sooner thin he • otherwiSe would that dignity of sub-prefect which is the highest object of his. ambition. So he plunged headlong into matrimony with whom he supposed to be an heiress, and found that he had caught - a servant girl. But Miss Ellen B did. nothing more than turn his own guns upon tb.e enemy. We do not defend the morality of title • action ;_ but we are decid e dly -of opinion that it served him right.. • The French court, however, ought. not to have considered these circumstances at all ; the 'iues tion they had to decide-was purely- a legal. one ; and we cannot but fear that their decision in this case will give rice to great abuSqs. It ' is hard _that when a Frenchman . enters into what he knows to be an illegal niarri:kge . with a foreigner, the innocent wife should suffer for his act. - Look • what encouragement • this judgment gives to designing adventure-i's. Put the - case that the young Englishwoman ha d really been posSessed of £4,000, and that the /4usand, after - _getting the money into his own hands, had come before the court and pleaded that hie father had not given his consent to the marriage. If his plea Were proved, a decree would necessarily- be pronounced in _ 3-, 222 to English parents, who have, cl,aughters likely to be fascinated by interesting f.)reigners. It is an .unnlease,nt.,n reiaiepinent for a lady to be a wife ac cording to .e.ngiisn 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 Brunierwrites to his friend M. de X , " after a residence of six teen 'ears 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 other to 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. Th er e a re t oo 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, lest - they share the fate, with sharing the follies, of MISS Alice Ellen 'B PRICE 4 D .

TRADE OF SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. The_ quarterly meetings of the iron and coal mas ters, which•commenced on Tuesday at Walsall, and terminated on Saturday evening at Dudley, are the chief feature 'of the - week in connection with the trade of-this district. It is satisfactory to be able to .report that -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 Hather ton, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Stafford, P. Williams,-Esq., High Sheriff, Mr. Foster, M.P..; several magistrates, a large number of ;shipping agents from Liverpool, Hull, &c., and mercharits from - London interested 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 which had been held back were eonSeqUently given out. Contrary to expectation many of them were fizrnished by the American merchants, and this fact on being kiiown imparted increased confidence to the meeting. • The reports relatite to the American market were altogether much more satisfactory than they have been since the panic, and hopes are now entertainee A thatwe may look forward to a speedy. rev i va l t j f trade in that quarter. lam sorry to - say the demand n for our railway companies, and for .building p-ur pesos, is very limited; The serious depreciation in: the railway avidendi preclules - the possibility of outlay by the directers'be3: gn e ,e n il d'a f b or so e i l a te n or e , c c e h s a si i t r y s. , - b and ver ~ uilding w t h e e r r d e e i r s s li w tt e l r e e doing, and many interests in this district are vary 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 thp week. There were no lieSh embarrassments an nounced, and the usual quarterly accounts were very . Well met: Towards the close of the meeting, Lord Hatherton and the other magistrates held a pri vatedonferenee • 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 copy -last w ee k. • 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 all, was placed before them, they began to .give way, and some 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 lovis have endured. great . privations in the main tenance of - what theydeem their just rights, but-it would seem that- _time and circumstances are against them." The demand 'foriron and coal is by no means equal to our immense powers of produe-: 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 arid 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 Westbromwich, 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 various trades are rather - imprOting, 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 deinand for, various articles during the week, princikkilly for foreign markets . _ _ - .Tlie military.gun trade.is about receiving 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 gnnmakers - will send in their contracts in a few days.

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 stccl pcn r lac c );it inu.es 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 and the manufacturing districts the accounts are not so satisfactory. THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY MUSEUM. 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 workinen 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 south 7 eastern 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 restin t r; 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 her Majesty, namely, those of Bacon, Gallileo, Newton, Leibnitz, and Oersted, and three of them have been already very beautifully executed in Caen stone b?•- Munro, of London. The u ndergraduates of the uni 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. Boulton, o f En stone, £150; Mr. J. Ruskin' , jun., £300; and among the contributors are Sir'R.l. Murchison, the Duke of Argyll, the Marquis of Breadalbane, Sir W. Tre velyan, Sir S. Glynne, the. Earl of Harrowbv S . B. Brodie, Sir C. Lyell, Mr. J. Ru s ldy, prof. oe c i g , wick, Mr. W: ' Miles, M.P., and - many others emi nent-in science and art. Among the works of a pub lic character expressive of the feeling which is-enter tained in the university on the subject of physical f education, we may mention the and commodiouserection of a new gymnasium rom a design furnished of by Mr. Wilki nson, 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 wh.e. are familiar with Paris - of the celebrated Sainte • Chapelle, HOP INTELLIGENCE. Edcnbridgc, Oct. 11—Hop-picking is brought No a close. The hops kept their colour, and came down exceedingly well. The growth generally is over the e3timate, of good quality, and will be about 12 cwt. per acre. Frant, Oct. 11.—The hop-picking is now brought to a close, and the samples, both for colour and quality, are above the average of years. The average growth is about 13 cwt. per acre. Goodhurst, Oct. 11.--Pkking is now completed, and speaking generally, the hops maintained their colour well. About I'2 or 13 cwt. the acre is at present thought to be the average here.

Udimore, Oct. 11.—In some plantations the yield will be over a ton to the acre, and in some grounds much less. Takin g the whole parish, it i s p ro b a bl e that about 18 cwt. to the acre will be about the average. Halstead, Oct •11.—The growth of this parish and vicinity is about half a ton per acre, and th. quality is very good. udham and Chelsfield, Oct. 11.—The quantity is not equal to last year's; but the quality is on the whole better. Shoreham Oct. 11.—This parish will not average 10 cwt. to the acre. The quality is good. Ifawkhurst, Oct. 11.—As near as we can judge, the average is about 15 cwt. to the acre.

GLADSTON2 ON THE OXFORD MIDDLE CLASS EXAMINATIONS. - LIVERPOOL, OCT. 17. Aftei the close of the . proceedings of the Social Science Copgress the great hall of St. George's was crowded to witness the award of the prizes to the successful candidates at the recent examinations, and to listen to an address from Mr. W. E. Glad stone, M.P. The Earl of Carlisle presided ; and among those present upon the platform were many of the leading members of the association. Great interest was excited by the. expectation of an ad dress from Mr. Gladstone, who had arrived in Liver pool, and was present on the platform. The proceedings were opened by the Earl of CARLISLE, who, after alluding tt the gratification which the proceedings of the week and of that day had given him, said. that he rejoiced to find that the University of Oxford, where he resided during a few happy years of youth, was com' ing 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, however, he would not trouble the meeting, but would beg to .offer - his congratulation to the youths present forwhat they had already achieved, 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 becoming more the conditions 'of suocess and the avenuek to_fame, 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. (Cheers,) But pl easure was no t entitled - to be eonsidered as the real business of our responsible lives ; and though success had many high and noble qualities, particnlarlY when it re warded the industry and enterprise of such men as Mr. Brown, or crowned the genius of such men -as Mi. Gladstone; he would - have them remember that suCcesi,Wds. 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 their fellows or to the favour of their God. (Cheers.) Be yOurs, (said his lordship) a still loftier, a More real ambitien. .It is'not who we are in the world that really Isignifies, butwhat we' are. The situations you may fill in after life cannot , be considered as within your own control, and even if they should be as splelidid — and as dazzling as your most. sanguine dreanth tenild anticipate, they still might leave you at the close of life mean, un -honedred, and Unloved. But the characters you may form for yourselves in humble depe n d ence ' on the Divine - assistance, these are -in your own p o w er , and they will never disappoint -and never fail you. Each net of virtuous self-denial, the ac tiv e exerc i se of Christian love, the obedience of a life-long faith, these, my young friends, are : the things-which will secure for you, not such transient honours and dis= tinctions as those which lam about to award you, but the supreme blessing and the immortal crown. The prizes having been delivered to the success ful competitors, The Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE next rose to the He p sa r i i d n — cip M al y ppose of this great -ur Lord Carlisle, Meeting has, as I conceive, been already ac ladi address es, a n the gentlemen,d meeting. 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 timer of their lives, have_ come 'here, not so much to receive the 'rewards of their past labours, - as 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 eteellent, 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 Kr a rt;Objec7th tkr e. of Oxford for having organised a system of local b uug e h fi o t u o t f the the zz i t i r u y i;it S v vh a i t ch lar h g a e s ana . e.pccuilly of the minute. c rates of 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 spieakers upon that subject. I must forget, as far as I can, my connection with the University of Oxford, for upon the present occasion—l 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 t o -d a y, 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 abo u t the reality and security than about the rapidity o f th e i r progre ss. But there has been, I may t a k e upon me t o asse rt, no tardiness upon the part of the universities at least upon. the present occasion. F r om th e b o som of the universi ties thems e l ves procee d e d t h e i m pulse—the very first impulse—whi c h l e d to this great movement ; and the form a l an d co r porate ac ti on of the univer cities Leconded 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 liva ; 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 .beconies us, as wise men—as prac tical men—to seek the aid of every instrumentality alive that culture of which th m e keeping n t g he human intellect which has done so much for this country and for Christendom; which so greatly contributes to the e humany assist s st mind n s in andkadornment and .enjoyment of life, and without which no great society can discharge its highest and most sacred duties. (Hear, hear.) The sys tem of bxaminations .which has been organised is no novelty. Those who come from the universities have had long experience upon that subject ; and if you are told that the effect of competition is to introduce an ungenerous rivalry in the minds of youth, if you are told that the stimulus given to schools will lead to the neglect of the mass of the pupils, in order that there may 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 competition is to give an undue pre ponderance to the intelfactual, 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 is not a limited quantity in such sense - that he whO obtains it causes his neighbour to lose it. On the contrary, every one who obtainsit becomes a standard-bearer for others; and the treasures to which he invites . , . them is it treasur e - w hi c h - is acceptable to all man kind. .(Hear, 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 the greatest attention to all their boys. (Hear, hear.) A s to the, apprehended prePoncle ranee of the intellectual over - the Moral qualities, T will venture to say to those who make such an oh- Jection, that.. they are un d er an e rror as serious as can well he _ 'conceived ; for if . there ' is one fact more generally and concluSively - established than another, by examinations of the. teaehers of' youth, it 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-- Acne-dual distinction. (Hear.) But now, ladies arid gentlemen, 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 beginning of greater things. .I 'see in -them the - resumption by the ancient universities of the 'country of their true re lation to all classes of the community, as institu tions. which have been the pride and glory of Chris , tendom, and which ought. to dispense their benefits to all ranks' of our fellove-citizens. This was the trueaim 'of-4h°- Universities- upon their:first founda tion,- (Hear.) They were intended. to be the monopoly of the rich.. (Hear.) They were intended to work the deep mines of eapacityand of character which existthroughout the whole of every civilised community. (Hear, hear.) - They were intended to draw forth from hidden corners and recesses,' wher ever they existed, - the- materials- of- genius and for the glory of God and :the advantage of the country.. (Hear.) • And that aim they ful filled. (Hear.) Go' back to the periodS when the great movements' of thehuman 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, Milton, has..called.Athens,the " Eye of Greece," well and truly may it be, said, in reference to their early history, that the universities of • Oxford - and Cambridge werethe eyes of England. - (Hear.) Ladies and gentlemen, I do not say that at present that func tion is fully discharged. On the contrary,- we see that for several centuries those universities have per- - formed duties moat iniportant indeed mid moSt useful, but comparatively limited.. In the main their utility has been chiefly confined to the rich. They have educated - the 'clergy, and in -so - doing have per formed a great service to the country.' :They have educated the greater number—almost the whole, indeed:-- - Of - the. sons - of our high nobility.

(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 which our forefathers designed. --Am I to be told that beCauSe Liverpool is a great commercial community, therefore . the higher culture of the human Mind i s to b e b an i s hed from its boundary?

And permit me, ladies and gentlemen, to say that if I have spoken strongly on thesOject of competitive . examinations, andbeen sanguine in. my expectations 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 wil 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 of 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 pleak4 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 Ibe 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 see---:-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 feelin g and reciprocal advantage ; and there never was a happier instance than that afforded by the meeting now before me of that happy association and binding together which, by the favour of Providence, so eminently charac tenses England, as compared with so many of the other countries . of the I ask you,, ladies and gentlemen, to express to the universities those feel ings which will animate and impel them to 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, tut 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, will not be wanting either in skill or promptitude in adapting their arrangeinents to the existing wants of the community ; that they will so frame them as to enable the youth of Liverpool, and of other places similarly, circumstanced, to - resort to them for the benefit of the training which they-give, - Without making a sacrifice of those years which it is 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 this we have before us in hope, and in prospect 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 net hope to sec 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 important of the performances of the remarkable age in which we live, and pill contribute, in - modes and degrees—far more than any among us can now distinctly reckon—both t o increase female happiness and virtue,. and likewise to the maintenance of England, and the dischargelise 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 hon i man concluded by moving a resolution conveying NORTH OF _EUROPE TELEGRAPH. We live in an age of Submarine Telegraphs, for since the difficult task of submerging the Atlantic Cable- has been accomplished, hardly. a week has passed that some new telegraphic nerve has not been laid from the English shores to - those of our continental and island neighbours. Not only haYe 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 andrapid 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 England 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 ease, 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 frem 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 shalow wfitsr, a very massive MP. 'h i' bppn frnimi Twoco.,a,L . y. 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 folir 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 e 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 it 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 skip (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 renderingcable all interior support to the coils, with the exception of a few cross stays, quite unne cessary. The total weight of the cable is verry 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 the ordinary 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 taa a cee pleasure ai ffi p l ac i u s i h gl t e e dbdybr operationpassingyuc,o nitb meofo nt motionh lever coiling ve brake. r t mma T kab o yei e. o ab r hs t i e h ae al rrdveeoyet Seldom i ra m dhbea e l (le proceeded with su c h rap idi ty has as it has in this in stance; though the work was no t regu l ar l y com menced until Tuesdaylast, stow ed the aw w ay ho e l a e length of nearly 300 board by Thursday or Friday.

In all probability, should the weather be at all favourable, the absolute operation of lay ing the cable across the sea portion of the 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 he laid to the cannothesho be p e from boats.
