This is the substance of a telegram received at his Lord ship' ' s residence in St. Jamtss-squaro. WE PRINCE OF WALES AT CHESTER. This morning the Prince of \Vales was presented with an address from the county of Cheshire this morning at the Grosvenor Hotel, Chester. His Royal Highness was conducted at noon through the principal streets with a magnificent procession, to the new Town Hall, which the Prince, after re ceiving an address from the Corporation, formally opened. DES7RUC7IVE 111? E. This morning, about a quarter before two o'clock, a fire, which was nearly attended with very disas trous consequences to life and property, happened on the premises belonging to Mr. E. Herrick, licensed victualler, and landlord of the Carlisle Arms, Carlise-lane, Lambeth. The flames origi nated in the tap-room on the ground floor, owing to some partially consumed tobacco falling upon the floor. The inmates were aroused, but owing to the strong hold which the flames had obtained it was with the greatest difficulty that the parties could be saved, and not before they were nearly stifled with smoke. The powerful land steam engines from Waterloo-road and Kennington-lane stations were quickly in attendance, and they were set to work ; but, although the supply of water was most abundant, the flames could not be ex tinguished until the tap-room was burne I out, and the rest of the ground floor and the cellar stock damaged by fire, water, and heat. The loss will fall upon the London and Liverpool and Globe fire offices. I'OLICE INTE'LLIGENC'E.-71ds Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BETTING TRANSACTION.—Georgo Martin, described as a gentleman, of No. 160, Gray's-inn-road, was chtaged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Henry Packman, harness maker, of No. 15, Princes-street, Chelsea. The complainant said that he was in the Yorkshire Grey public-house, Piccadilly, yesterday evening with two friends, and, on the evening paper coming in, one of his friends asked what horse had won, and his other friend replied "Blue Gown." The defendant said, "I'll lay two sovereigns to one that 'Blue Gown' has not won." His friend said ho would take the bet, and he (complainant) said, " Don't bet, because you have no money," but his friend said ho would, and would go and get the money, and on their going outside the defendant struck him in the eye. James Taylor, of 14, Pratt-street, St. Pancras, gave similar evidence, as also did another witness. Police-constable Fred. Longcroft, 46 (lE., said he saw several persons come out of the Yorkshire Grey, amongst them the defendant, who was very excited. The defen dant exclaimed, "Oh you thief," and then struck the com plainant. In reply to Mr. Knox, the constable said the complainant and his friends were sober, but the defendant was not. The defendant said the complainant and his friends tried to detain him in the house, but that they denied, and said there was no attempt whatever to detain him. Mr. Knox fined the defendant 40s. or a month. THAMES.

The Times thinks that Greenwich Hospital might be turned to fresh account by employing it as a kind of naval college. There is now at Portsmouth the germ of such an institution in what is termed the Naval College. It is true that the officer, at the age we speak of, has to pass his final examination in navigation and the use of the steam-engine. But this college is not a college in the sense with which wo are familiar at our civil universities It is little more than a place of examination. It is not an institution at which all naval aspirants must for a time reside, pursuing definite , studies, and competing one with another in them. As it is, the authorities are cramped and require larger space, and there cannot be a doubt that if this college is ever to be expanded, and to be made a really valuable adjunct to the education on board ship, there is no place so suitable for its development as one of the vacant quarters of Green wich Hospital, with its close proximity to the workshops of the Thames and the Royal Observatory, as well as to London and Whitehall. It would be no slight advantage that the reputation of a young officer should not depend alone on the report cf the captain of his ship, and that in cases where he had been unlucky in his first ship he should have a second chance of distinction at the college. And it is plain how easy of extension such a college or university would be for providing staff officers with all means and appliances of study. We commend these proposals to the consideration of Mr. Childers. We recognise a step in the direction we have indicated in the announcement that the examinations for entry into the Britannia are to be held at once in Green wich Hospital. The Britannia, it must be borne in mind, be it good or evil, is the necessary corrective of a system of nomination. Professional schools have serious drawbacks, as we shall probably learn from the labours of the present Royal Commission upon Military Schools. If Mr. Chil ders will minimize their evils, he may render good service to the navy, and the vacant quarters of Green wich Hospital furnish him with an unprecedented opportu nity of founding, without cost to the country, a great naval university. The Daily News says that eminent political performers are fulfilling now their provincial engagements. Lord Carnarvon, whom we encountered the other day at High clue, improvising a policy on the Irish Land question, for the edification of a farmers' club, was to be found on Wed nesday in the Free Trade Hall at Manchester, distributing prizes to the young gentlemen who have distinguished themselves in the Oxford Middle Class Examination. Some time ago, the association of Manchester and Oxford in any educational purpose would have been deemed strange. Lord Carnarvon is stirred when he contemplates the happy com bination by which the ancient University, with all its great and noble traditions, is brought into connection with a centre of modern industry, one of those great towns, as he describes it, through which England speaks and lives and moves and breathes through trade. The connection, the importance of which cannot be thought of too highly, does not date from the Oxford Middle Class Examina tions. It was symbolised very strikingly when an Ox ford Professor edited, and the University printers and publishers brought out, the speeches of John Bright. Manchester •taught old Oxford before Oxford examined young Manchester. The enlargement of the Univer sity's view of teaching and learning is clue in no small degree to the influence of those modern ideas which have their headquarters there. The Free Trade Hall, in which Lord Carnarvon spoke on Wednesday, was the cradle, if not the birthplace, of many of those views which have since been taught with effect from Oxford chairs. Lord Carnarvon's address was in its main features a defence of classical studies, suitable enough to an audience some of whom were schoolboys, and of whom a great proportion belonged, as he said, to the fair sex. Viryinibus pucrisgue eantat. We may say that the matter and style of Lord Carnarvon's address are such as might have entitled it, if the noble author had been competitor instead of distributor, to the prize for English composition at an Oxford Middle Class Examination. It is a good schoolboy essay, and little more. It adds nothing, not oven new fallacies stimulative of correction, to the subject. The Standard declares that if anything could deepen the feeling of pain and indignation aroused among all classes of Churchmen by Mr. Gladstone's nomination to the see of Exeter, it would be found in the correspondence of eight years back between Bishop Phillpotts and Dr. Temple, on the subject of the "Essays and Reviews." We said at th outset that not the least objection to Mr. Gladstone's • choice was the violent antagonism between the theological view•. of the late bishop and the divine so unhappily chosen to succeed him. It must not be supposed that this is a High Church grievance. The heresies of the Essayists were equally repugnant to every section of Church men save that of which the writers themselves were the most advanced representatives. And the same remark applies to the protest against the nomination of Dr. Temple. Tho tone of th o meeting at Exeter on Tuesday reflects with tolerable fidelity the sense cf the High Church party; and the recognised organ of the Low Church party does not speak without warrant, when it calls upon the Dean and Chapter of Exeter to "play the man for the Church of their fathers and the truths of their religion," and summons the faithful of every shade of opinion to " rally round them as fighting the battle of the living God, so far as relates to its maintenance in this realm of England." Such an appointment is an out rage and a challenge to every earnest and do vout Churchman. When ignominiously driven from Oxford University, Mr. Gladstone declared before the people of Lancashire that he was at length " unmuzzled," and, half in menace half in irony, expressed his hope that the cause which his late constituents represented might never suffer in consequence. This was the prelude to his attack on the Irish Church, and if ho should contemplate pursuing his vengeance against the Church of England, there is no way in which he could wreak it more effectually than by advancing to its highest offices men of the stamp of Dr. Temple, who has proved himself as dangerous an enemy to the purity of its faith as to its position as an establishment. The worst foe of the Church could hardly have dealt it a blow more calculated to weaken and damage it. The Post, in referring to the proceedings of the General Church Council at Dublin, observes that it numbers 400 members, men selected as well for their social rank as their intelligence, and it may be considered as faithfully representing Irish Protestantism. So far as we are in a position to judge from the proceedings of the first day, the Conference did its work fairly, and in a very business-like manner. The question whether the bishops and inferior clergy should vote collectively or separately was then discussed, but its settlement was apparently remitted to the clerical order as exclusively concerning its members. An amendment proposed by Mr. Johnston, the member for Belfast, fixing the number of lay representatives at double that of the clergy, was, after an animated discussion, carried by a very large majority. We have some difficulty in understanding what operative effect this, or indeed the preceding, resolution, can have, except as a guide to the lay representatives at the General Council. It would be very awkward, for example, if the clergy in Synod were to pass a resolution—as they are per fectly competent to do—that the numbers of clerical and lay representatives should be equal. It is no doubt true that if the system of voting by orders in the General Council be adopted, it is of comparatively little consequence whether or not. C PTI • 1 rata , orders ha 001.1.11 House of Lords, but that fact in no wayv . iaiartt; l 6l l lNet of the latter if it desires to reject a measure adopted by the former. However, as the lay representatives seem to desire that they should largely outnumber those of the clergy, perhaps it would be as well for the latter to 'concede the point. There must bo mutual concessions, and both sides must bo prepared for compromises if they would act harmoniously together. - - - The Herald thinks that the appearance of a new literary review, when ushered in by such favourable auspices as attend Mr. Murray's new venture, is a fact of some import ance. We are not accustomed to look to Albemarle-street for second-rate writing; and the names which have already been pressed into the service of its new periodical were a guarantee that it would not be wanting in ability. N or‘ unfortunately, can it be denied that we are sadly in want of a critical journal such as it promised, and is likely to be. The person must be easy to please who is satisfied with the hasty and, we fear, not always dispassionate, judgment which proceed from our most conspicuous critical au thori ties. It is one good feature of the new raper that its writers are permitted to handle only those subjects with which they have a special acquaintance ; and another is that no book which does not reach a certain standard of merit will receive notice at all. Criticism is a serious work, r,n, should be done seriously. T.y its aid merit that woul:: otherwise be overlooked ought to be dragged to light, ignorance, shallowness, and s howiness, which are wrongly accepted as something mole s ubstantial,should be exnosed. only exposed with dignity. Only, too, when the public is being misled need t he y be noticed. Equally idle is it t`. write column upon column on each fresh work - of al: author whose talent has long been recognised. and who has become a setticd faVOUrito with tlic' public—unless, indeed; there is some novelty in his new Koduetiors, Greater space, too, should be given to forsige authors, and it would not be amiss to take SOIIIO notice of continental opinions aboui; our own. There are several men who are regarded as demigods on this side the Channel. who have never succeeded in exciting any olithusiasui beyond it. Perhaps we o ught to be the bestjudges of our liar t.y pountrym4n 1 but the claim would be more sure of resognition if our critics would enter upon their task with the same laborious and consistent application of principles as is displayed by the leading critics in France and Germany. There the critic, qua critic, becomes a man of letters and a power. That cannot be said of many critics among o urselves. We hope the Ac«Jenr , NY; 11 stOPIN the • 44! THE EUROPEAN ASSURANCE SOCIE7 F. (THIS DAY.) The further hearing of the petition presented by Mr. Crawford and others to the Court of Chancery, to order the winding-up of this compiuy, was re sumed to-day before Vice- Chance:lor James. Mr. Glasse, on the part of the company, opposed the petition. Ile said it was one that ought not for one moment to be entertained by the court, the more so as the counsel engaged by the petitioner had altogether failed to substantiate one single allegation contained iu the document. The learned gentleman then proceeded to cite various authorities and casts to strengthen his argument for a dis missal of the petition. The Vice-Chancellor said the more important point to argue was to show that the company had sufficient capital to meet its debts. Mr. Glasse contended that it had not been proved that the company was in an unsound cundition. The Vice-Chancellor said it would be a waste of time to go on dealing with the circumstances that justified a petition. The ordinary course of bringing about a winding up was we ll known. •lt was quite open for any share holder, backed up by the requisite number of supporters to call a meeting of the company for its winding up, but the case coming to Chancery, it was to be presumed that the person could not get a number of persons to agree with him. Mr. Glasse said that was so, and all the Court now had before it was opinion evidence, with which it ought not and could not deal, the more especially so as no claim remained unpaid. The Vice-Chancellor observed that there was no evidence before him to show that any claim on the society had not been paid. Mr. Glasse thought that that was a matter which doubly strengthened his argument for a dismissal of the petition. The learned gentleman was proceeding when we went to press. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.

Vice-Chancellor James }:as appointed to-day, instead of the 2nd of November, to appoint an official liqui dator to the Albert Insurance Company. The Northern Whig Lopes that a Government Commission of inquiry, which it believes will coon be issued, will do something to tranquilize the public mind in Ulster, "and prevent that brooding sense of wrong which it is not good that any portion of the people, however igno rant and fanatical some of them may be, should Eincercly entertain from the partial tic:ministration of the uttcily inefficacious Party Processions Act." At Bridgewater Mr. Alexander William Kinglake was examined yesterday. He admitted thht ho first con tested the borough in 1857, was then defeated, and declared there was no bribery at that election. In 1859 Lis election cost him £1,444, the greatest portion of which was spent in bribery.—At Norwich Mr. C. E. Lewis, the agent for Con servative candidates at the election of 1860, has stated that the eection was conducted with perfect purity on both sides. The remains of Mr. Louis Kyczor, who was mur dered by his tenant Green, were removed on Thuisday f;om Whitton to the Jews Cemetery at Mile-end. The scene at Whitton was of a most affecting character. There was a largo gathering of people from the neighbouring parishes inclunin:; the local volunteers. The blinds were drawn close at all the houses, and even in Hounslow many inhabi tants testified their respect for the memory of the deceased. The funeral procession was well nigh half a mile in length. The English Independent has it on good authority that a bill will be introduced next session to pro hibit all horse races within twenty miles of London. It will be backed by the Government, and will have the support of some powerful patrons of the turf itself. The necessity for such a bill has teen created by the frightful de preciation of property wherever a racecourse is opened in the vicinity of the metropolis, and the complaints of the inhabi tants of the suburban districts that whenever a " meeting" takes place the whole neighbourhood is visited by a smarm of the vilest and most dangerous creatures, so that, for awhile, no property or person is safe. On Wednesday the Earl of Carnarvon distri buted the prizes and certificates to the successful students at the Oxford Local Examinations for this district. The distribution took place in the Free Trade Hall, under the presidency of the Mayor of Manchester. In the course of the address which he delivered, the Earl of Carnarvon made special reference to classical studies, condemning those which were exclusively classical, and maintaing that when they were coupled with studies of a general character they were of great use, because without them an accurate knowledge of the past could not be obtained, and because they tended to give that facility in applying knowledge to any one subject which scarcely any other study could equally communicate. A letter from Mr. Cardwell, prohibiting the sale of volunteer adjutancies, is published. Tho third paragraph of the communication, which is addressed to Lord Lieuten ants of counties, is as follows :—"ln forwarding any r - commendation of a successor, the Lord-Lieutenant 'will append the fcllowing certificate, signed by the command ing ciuGor of the corps or administrative regiment con jutani ha-i'now ueen noinmated oy dateaalutanti.'auutLat I do not believe [the latter] will in any way derive any recom pense, reward, or gratuity in consequence u the resignation of his appointment, except tho retired allowance granted to him under her Majesty's warrant, dated the 19th of June, 1860, in consequence of his retirement from his appoint ment." An important decision to tradesmen in towns was decided on Wednesday at the Salford Town Hall. Mr. U. Macarthy, of New BrAge-street, brought an action against the Salford Corporation for compensation for damage done to his trade by certain altera tions made in the level of the street. The claimant was a poultry, fish, and ice dealer, and it was alleged that the improvemeuts effected by the defendants had so injured his business that while the alterations were going on his sales upon credit were reduced from £11,893 to £9,997. That was in 1866. In 1867 they rose to £10,131, and now they were £10,692. After an investi gation, occupying about five hours, the bench decided that the only compensation to which the claimant was entitled was £2O for injury to his premises caused by raising the level of the yard. The Earl of Carysfort has been addressing the tenantry of Lis Irish estate in friendly and in plain terms. He told them that be thought, the best Ilan for a landlord was to give his tenantry their laud at a low rate, herein differing from Mr. Nl‘Combie, who, in a pamphlet just issued, lays it down that the best of which tho land is capable wilt not bo got out of it at low rents. Lord Carysfort declared himself against the system of wiping off arrears of rent in Nylrolesalo manner. Many of his tenants aro in arroar and consequently ho has determined to settle the matter l 3 compelling them to sell the goodwill of their farms—thus securing to them the value of the improvements, if any, the incoming tenant paying the arrears due. In a general way Lord Cat ysfort thinks that sufficient justice is douo to good tenants if they, on quitting their farms, obtain compensation from the incoming tenants for the value of their improve ments. Lord Carysfort, speaking as a Liberal peer, warned Lis hearers against "believing in any of the preposterous av,d absurd measures which aro being agitated In the country, not by people of sound judgment, but by Beheaded sucl tatereStecl ktliNt(igalit" S PORTING IN TEL LIGENCE —This my NEWMARKET SECOND OC TUBER MEETING.

Official intelligence has been received here stat ing that the insurgenrs of Valencia and the greater part of tlio.e from the country had retired to a part of the city which they are fortifying. Ethteen battalions of Government troops have occupied tho greater portion of the town. The Itepubllcan movement is now reduced to Valencia and a few small bands cf insurgent: iu Catalonia and Aragon, but they ace daily surren- dcring. Not a single officer or soldier has joined the in surrection. 'The bands led by Paul and Salvocchea are quite demolished, and it is believed the leaders will seek refuge in Gibraltar. Brigadier Crespo has occupied Bisbal. The in insurgents fled on the approach of the artillery.
