TIMES.—We have received from the French Govern ment the only honour which a Government so constituted has it in its power to bestow—the honour implied in its fear and its hatred. In the Moniteur, the official organ of his Government, the President endeavours to answer our remarks of this day week on the melancholy position of the French nation, deprived altogether of public life, and reduced to seek in the childish amusements of fire works and scene-painting an equivalent for its degrading exclusion from the earnest drama of real life, from the duties of the citizen, and the honours of the statesman. Oar remarks, such as they were, seem to have pene trated into the recesses of that Imperial solitude in which Monsieur Louis Bonaparte spends the heppy and digni fied hours which he can save from the toil of destruction and confiscation. At the head of an enormous army, with his foot on the neck of a prostrate nation, a few lines traced in a foreign language by an unknown hand have shaken the impassible man of destiny, and probed the depths of a conscience not easily accessible to the voice of truth. We cannot refuse to enter the lists with such a champion. Ho has a right to be heard on his own behalf; as well as on behalf of the seven million five hundred thousand votes of the 10th of December. We only wish that he would give our reply the same extended publicity in France as we give to his vindica tion in England. But this ho dares not do. Groundless as Monsieur Bonaparte may call our censures, he dares not make his own nation the judge of their justice, and all the people whom be mocks with the name of liberty will ever know on the subject will be so much as it is deemed prudent to notice in the columns of the Moniteur. We will not be led aside from the point really at issue by the sarcasm which Monsieur Bona parte levels against the English Constitution. We are quite content that it should be denounced by the man who swore to remain faithful to the Republic, and to fulfil all the duties imposed by the constitution;" who " declared that this oath should command his future conduct, and that he would fulfil it like a man of honour;" who " denounced as enemies of the country all those who should endeavour to change by illegal means that which all France had established ;" and who, after these things, made the Revolution of the 2d of De cember, 1851. Such a man is no judge of compacts — for him they have no existence, and we are well content that our glorious Constitution should be honoured by his hatred and sanctified by his fear. Neither will we be led aside by the imputations which the Autocrat of the Elpie does not disdain to throw upon ourselves. We are content to receive such unfounded imputations as " a first warning," but cannot condescend to answer them, although brought forward by the absolute lord and master of thirty-six millions of the bravest and most in telligent of the human race. Let Monsieur Bonaparte call us " the passionate interpreter of hostile parties," " the representative of an interested opposition," and strive to persuade the nation which he has duped and dragooned that his Government can have nothing to fear from honest conviction. True, as he says, we are not, like the Moniteur, the organ of a nation; but in this in stance, at any rate, we aro something more—the organ of the conscience of the human race, the organ of that feeling which distinguishes man from brute, the mouth piece of that unbending law of morality which per jured judges cannot pervert, and all the prestige of success cannot elude. To one accusation, however, which the irritation of Monsieur Bonaparte has induced him to make against us, we must reply. We approved, be says, of former revolutions, not because they were conquests made by the people, but on account of the blood which was shed. It is, therefore, we suppose, because the 2d or rather 4th of December was bloodless that we have been unable to give in our adhesion to its success ? Surely the recommendation of blood, if that were to our taste, was not wanting, when, in the broad daylight, in the most public thoroughfares of Paris, twelve hundred harmless passersby, unarmed and without a show of resistance, were murdered by the drunken sol diery whom Monsieur Bonaparte had bribed for the pur pose ? No; if we dissent from the revolution of the 2d of December, it is not because it has not shed blood enough. Tho proper anniversary is the 4th of De cember, and it should be celebrated at the Marcb 6 des Innocens. The name, at any rate, might recall mothers murdered with children in their arms, old m en slain on their thresholds, children of seven years old massacred, as well as the other glories which the President takes so much credit to himself we fornot exists commemorating. The real question is, have e been e is dreaming all this while? Is it a preten ce th at Fr disinherited of all her rights, that political lif e longer for her, us the Times dares to assert? And no she, on the contrary, as Monsieur Bonaparte declares, making the first essay of the most unbounded liberty? It France has political life, wo shall find it, like ani ma l life, in the perfection of her organs, her Senate, her Le gislature, her generals, her magistracy, her local coun cils, and, above all, in her press. Her courts are at this moment presided over by the very men who met to gether on the 2d of December to declare the President deposed for treason and perjury, who took the oath of fidelity to this very person in the month of April, and who now administer in his name so much of the law as ho has suffered to exist, so often as ho allows it to have its course. The army is com manded by the same General Magnan who, on the trial of Monsieur Bonaparte before the Cham ber of Peers for the attempt at Boulogne, over whelmed him with his contempt for his unsuccessful attempt to corrupt him. Since then the attempt has been renewed, and with better success. Hero also we can find no political life. The Senate is a band of mercenary pensioners, without power, and without character, and the Legislative body is barely allowed to testify its disapprobation of the ruinous extravagance it is not permitted to check. There is no life here. But there is Universal Suffrage, and, though every institu tion which that suffrage can appoint is sedulously de nuded of all authority and dignity, Universal Suffrage compensates for this trivial defect by the splendour of its name. But, to make this suffrage anything, the elector should be allowed not merely a vote, but a choice. Liberty implies an alternative, and that alternative the French Government does not allow. As well not elect at all as be forccd to vote for the nominee of the Government, and thus disgrace an institutio n n they tit s ifi n permitted that a in to concludingianre not h political life; and, if we pass from institutions to acts, we Franco c e W at e p a r r e e s , n e t t h e thers n' shall find in the plunder of the Orleans family, and the hulks of Lambessa and Cayenne, gorged with thousands of unconvicted exiles, the best proof that the great end of human society—protection of person and property from the aggressions of lawless power, is not included in the plan of the present Government of France. If this bo a faithful picture of the present state of France—and who can deny that it is so?—have we'not a right to wonder at the degeneracy of a nation which, under the load of degradation and misery which this man has brought upon it, can find time or taste for reviews and processions, for rockets and transparencies? And does not the spectacle of Caesarean France, with her servile Senate, her mercenary generals, her mixed ministries of pleasure and business, her fierce Praetorians, and her p li an t magistrates, necessarily force upon us a compari son with the darker periods of the Roman Empire? Mon sieur Bonaparte aims at too much. The press of France would long since have said so, but her press is mute. Her tribune would have said so, but her tribune is dumb. A nation may bo free and proud, or enslaved and sub missive; but it is idle to expect that France can be made by any art vain of her slavery and proud of her dishonour. In the false praises of the Moniteur there is more offence t h a n in our honest a nd o p en censures. Ser vitude is only when it is called freedom, and despoti sm as when it wears the mask of libe ra li ty . nt:leeovennirsioseroueriglißl:uollnlitnaingpgarte repudiates comparisons with the Lower Empire of Roma.

SPORTING NOTES. No. iitIXCINT. TUE STOURBRIDGE MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE S UN. SlR,—Next weak is equally prolitio of raea meetings with the present, not less than nine fixtures bein g marked to coe , 0 off. Stourbridge is en the list for Mon day and Tuesday; Eccles, Monday, Tuesday, and Wed nesday; Lincoln and Westbury, Tuesday and Wednes day; alorpeth. Wednesday and Thursday; Newport and Stirling, Thursday and Friday; and Bridgenorth and Marlborough on Friday. Tho only meeting I shall touch upon to-day is that of Steurbridge, which commences on Mo nda y at two o'clock with the Prestwood Stakes, which has not yet closed. The Stourbridge Stakes over the mile and a quarter course will probably be contested by five or six, inclu ding Forester and Bess of Hardwick. Ethelwolt's run ning, considering his engagement at Lincoln on the fol lowing day, is very dubious. Butterfly's chance at Est 7lb is not remarkably good, although not altogether out. Prime Minister, a ith the top weight up, if ho runs will finish forward, but not as the winner. In the absence of Ethel wolf, I think Fora: en and Bess or HARD WICK will cccupy the first and second places. The feliee' Pure, a mile run, must terminate, to my thinking, in placing 6 REENOAKS and Lady Bihina first and second; with May-day well up. The Gold Cup, two miles, I think may be hooked a certainty for that sticking son of Slalom, AARON SMITH. WMOI-fill' and G hold, Sirgh may possibly be his nearest attendants. Last night, and again this morning, a good deal of business was transacted on the Warwick and Doncaster events. For the Leamington Stakes, the favourite of the early part of the week, Terpsichore, was somewhat shaky; while, on the other hand, Lady Evelyn was very firm in the market. Russborough came with a rush and left off with takers at 10 to 1. Madeline, Hugo, Hirsute, and Trickstress were also inquired after. For the War wick Cup Little Harry was in great force; nothing else mentioned, The St. Leger betting was all in favour of Daniel O'Rourke and Lapidist, scarcely any other being mentioned. Repeated offers were made to back The Reiver against the field for the Champagne Stakes, and to take 4 to 1 about Vindex. Offers were also made to take 8 to 1 about Kingston for the Doncaster Cup and risk the entry. The closing prices on a large field of stakes that were speculated upon were as fol low :—Stourbridge Stakes-3 to 1 each agst Ethelwolf and Bess of Hardwick; 7 to 2 agst Forester, 4 to 1 agst Butterfly. Gold Cup-3 to 2 agat Aaron Smith, 2to 1 taken freely. Lincolnshire Handicap-2 to 1 agst Ethelwolf, 3to 1 agst Haricot. Lincoln Triennial -2 to 1 agst the Maid of Lincoln. Leaming ton Stakes (Warwick) -6 to 1 agst Lady Evelyn; 7 to 1 agst Terpsichore; 10 to 1 each agst Russborough, Hirsute, and Huge; 10 to 1 agst Made line; 15 to 1 eget Trickstress; 20 to 1 each agat Cleve land and Leap-year. Warwick Cup-6 to 4 agst Little Harry. St. Leger-9 to 4 agst Stockwell, 7to 2 agst Daniel O'Rourke, taken; sto 1 agst Songstress; 10 to 1 agst Harbinger; 20 to 1 each agst Lapidist and Trousseau. In accordance with my notification yesterday I here with attach its probable field for the St. Leger, with the jockiee' names. The list is as complete as I can obtain it at the present time; and I lay it before the readers of The Sun with all its imperfections on its head. Daniel O'Rourke (Butler), Stockwell (Norman), Harbinger (Nat), Trousseau (Tompleman), Caracara (Holmes), Claverbouse (Marlow), Ilex (J. Mann), Alfred the Groat (Bumby), Longbow (Simpson), Lapidist (G. Brown), backbut (Marson or Sly).

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, THE OXFORD 171V1VERSITY COlll - ON. , .The temperate advocates .of academical reform have rot ueresaonable congratulated themselves on tee tone of the On..tord University Report. Among the peen,- stricken alarms so industriously fomenced ei; the ciaidel of the High Church party on tho birth of the Cemmis sion, not the least ominous and seductive was the imputed centralizing tendency of the measure: academical and collegiate indepedence, presumably the vital principle of all that was great and good i n O x f or d , was a bout to be ab sorbed in the vortex of P ar li amentary manageme nt; and the authors of the rep or t b e f ore us were rnagaified by the jealous eye of a sini s t er f ancy i nto a perpetu al Board of Control, encamped u n d er t h e presidency o f a Minister of Public Instruction, i n th e heretical reg i ons of White hall. The enormou s i ncrease in. the va l ue o f capitular estates, under the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commis sion, and the prevalence of the mischievous system o f fines in the administration of college property, not un naturally cherished the suspicion that the latter was destined to a similar reform; and, indeed, we ourselves, though far from apprehensive of a permanent aliena tion, were not unprepared for the suggestion of Paths ' mentary facilities to wards t h e adoption of a scheme un attainable by the colleges save at a large immediate sacrifice; and, initiatrd as yet, we believe, only in a single instance, and that merely on a partial scale. Yet, in spite of tans(' dismal auguries, there has been, with a few seeming rather than real exceptiene, no violation of the municipal pri v il eges Engliehmen so dearly prize. The government of the University and colleges is still to be internal, and administered by its constitutional ma chinery; the dignity of the Chancellor is unimpaired, and the powers of the visitors, whom the founders estab lished, have been raised from tho sphere of an extraordi nary to that of an ordinary jurisdiction. Otherwise, too, the report breathes little in common with the spirit of radical innovation. It is no dreary scheme of artifi cial uniformity, dictated, like a Greek constitution, by the tyranny of single principles, and modelled on one-sided views by the obliquity of sectarian caprice Framed in a spirit of Roman comprehensiveness, and imbued with a truly English endurance cfce.sual anomalies, it bends with elasticity to the varied sway of antecedents, and gra duates its measures with a discriminating deference to special claims, and exigencies, tions. True, in the main, to th e temper of t h e p eo ple and permanent oblige whose reforms exemplify the p roverb, " The nat i on th a t has no yesterday has no to-m orrow, " i n the most im portent of its changes we see the hand of Renovatiob, not of Revolution; and many an institution, undermined by age, has been remodelled on its ancient base, and re stored to its original idea. The scene opens with the constitution of the Univer sity; and a well-known figure, long the butt of acade mical artillery, the Hebdomadal Board, is the first vic tim paraded on the arena of reform, amid the all but unanimous acclamations of the authors of the evidence. We cannot but applaud the sacrifice ; yet the substitute is surely capable of amendment. The Commissioners, indeed, have rightly declined to expand the powers of Convocation, and thereby inflict upon the University a democratic legislature, the worst possible govern ment for an academic community. Doubtless, also, Convocation will find in the house of Con gregation,-thus adroitly restored to its original func tions, a more congenial superior than " the board," and the admission of the professors and senior tutors, within the narrow oligarchy of the ancient S enate, will give to the Initiative Council, many '• of the v a l ua bl e e l ements for legislation which the place can s u p p l y , i nte ll ec t, practical habits, the feeling and opinion of the time, a knowledge of the subjects which the University pro fesses to teach, of its state, moral and instructional, and of its trusts, property, and finances." I3ut—so strong is the rapport from their very " age and practical ha bits," between the senior tutors and the heads of houses —such a council must ever lack the cardinal virtue of antagonism; the principle of progres will bo very im perfectly represented. The report itself supplies a hint upon which we may venture an amendment. The mem bers of the committees are to be partly official, partly elective. Surely an election, perhaps trienially, of a fixed proportion of members from the most eminent of the collegiate staff, would contribute not a little to quicken' the pulse of academical energy, and to keep open the avenues of a friendly and reciprocal feeling, a point of indefinable consequence, between the two houses. In other respects, the happiness of the suggestion seems unimpeachable. The executive character of the Council, itself not unmanageably large, will bo ina only be convoked mate rially aided by delegacies and committees ; an d the dangeren countered of growth of organized parties, are at any rate partially b i tys the sinking ua i o n n t o a d that h at debating a shall hg ll society, or o f the by the Vice-Chancellor whenever propositio ns f or dis cussion are signed by a fixed majority of it s mem b ers, or are introduced by the Hebdomadal B oar d, w hi c h, though shorn of its ancient supremacy, is st ill to s h are the right of initiating measures, and may safely monopo lise the transaction of ordinary business and the main tenance of discipline—its sole legitimate province. The constitution of the proctorate has also been amended; nor will the effusions of juvenile essayists and poets any longer be subject to the ordeal of elderly gentlemen, who, though models of respectability in their own sphere, occasionally test their classical proficiency by exhorting the House of Convocation to brand the hour of the Commission's issue, " nigrissimo U ) carbone." Much difference of opinion exists on the subject of University extension. In the inferior colleges many a vacant chamber fruitlessly solicits the patronage of candidates denied admission, for lack of room, in the more reputable houses; so that, if the colleges were equal in the confidence of the public, the supply of ac commodation might probably answer the demand. Again, the sons of the aristocracy, the squirearchy, and the higher section of the middle classes are at present the life-blood of Oxford; directly professional instruc tion, whatever the expansion of her system, the Uni versity can never give; and solicitors, merchants, and general practitioners, alive to the value of an early initiation in their own pursuits, will pause ere they prolong from the ego of 19 to 22 the term of a merely general education. Yet, with every allowance for such considerations—and it is probably in deference to them that the Commissioners incline to that project for University extension whic h is most susceptible of rapid contraction, and least pro di g al of original outlay—there c an hardly be a doubt of the desirability of rendering the blessings of academ ical training at any rate avail a bl e on a wider scale. The reduced average of expenditure, not exceeding 2001. for a degree, at which the repo r t computes t h e liabilities of students living in lodging s unconnecte d w ith the col . leges ; the opportunity thus offered of giving as Univer sity education to a larger and a poorer class, the expe diency of rekindling the energy of the colleges by of the com petition, and of counteracti ng t h e i r a b sorp t i on University and the profess or i ate, aro t h e attractions to this scheme in the eyes of the Commis sioners. The competition between its advantages and those of independent or affili ated halls ma inly binges on the efficiency of its safeguards for d isci p li n e and morals ; and with th ese we are by no means satis fied. The report appeal s t o the example of Cambridge, but this is at best a double-edged argument, for e ver y Cantab will admit that if the industrious flock to lodg ings_ to study unnistu r b c d , the e f o p , m an is no le ss anxious to secure them for their opportunities of license. The wealthier student s , i n d eed, are to be boar ded in the houses of professors, or to live with responsible tutors ; but the poorer scholars are invited to dispense with o a . resident master in their h ouse, and only rem otely co trolled by " tutors or guardians of the students," i i ke spe cies of wandering University police, who are . to themselves acquainted with their pupils, en d to influence_ them, morally and religiously, " so far as the case may permit." And the comparative isolation of such u existence is no slight objectio n t o th e p l an . " thus h a nd and nullus homo," says the adage ; e d ucat i on i u its large st the most liberal sense, the formati on o f character, and culture of manners and moral sen ti men ts, and not mere ll such instruction, is the work of the U n i vers ity ; and the training demands an intercom mun ity of life, healthy action and reaction of social intercourse. The subject of college expenses, and the vexed . . _ ques tion of academical debt, so often agitated in t,,ne ..... sc ala. co lumns, has been handled by her Majesty's ''-'" re sioners with tact and moderation. No considerableerality of duction, they admit, "can be effected in the ge e avowedly bursar's bills, the chief sources of expenditure arising from the private amusements of undergraduates. ether to They are above the folly of att e mpting alt o g disPar e g elßent level distinctions of fortune.

Ranged on the same side are the authorities of Lords Brougham and Denman and Baron Parke; and it can hardly admit of doubt that the hanks of the Isis will offer a more genial soil for such a study than the regions of the Middle Templ e , w h ere , as a rece nt experiment re minds us, it will be too late to recur to theory after im mersion in the details of practice, and amid the manifold distractions of them metropolis . And in this cause the interests of th e University are embarked in the same boat with those of the law and the country.

But the be available on a wider scsie. It is not only the ministers, ' elligriderdbianE:; but the authors of the law who require to be traied in the principles of jurisprudence. •''„ ''' Future stat esmen the Corn • mizsioners, " and that important cla ss Of ' ' Y' rnen to adm iinistee justice, as magistrat es , and who are to exercise great influence, as landed proprietors, may reap much beeefit from these studies, combined as they will be with history and political economy." The merit of these suggestions is unhappily oh . scured by the very indefinite terms in whi c h the functions of the professors and the lecturers are alluded to. lecturers aro described as subordinate to the professors, The but are evidently destined to address classes; and, ifs wo are equally at a loss to discern how they are distin guished from the college tutors; how the Commissioners propose to find room for both in their system, and how they are to defend themselves against the private tutors, who have long triumphed over the very beet efforts of . the college staff, and whom the new lecturers can in nowise supersede; as they will not be able, being called upon to deal with classes, to graduate their instruction according to individual capacities and needs—the very essence of private tuition. So fertile in fallacies is the field of historical parallels: such is the tendency of the mass to fancy affinities rather than distinguish contrasts, that a stupid cry of Germanism has been raised, though from nn vary formidable quarter, against tl.em rteual of the profes soriate. Certain sages gravely, but rather blasphem ously, argue that sciences sophistically handled abroad must needs be essentially sophistical. It is almost an outrage on common sense to remin3 them that it is the very absence of professorships in England that consigns our youths to the mercy of foreign manuals, histories, and editions; that, to use the language of Professor Vaughan, " Had we a professorial system of our own, the spirit of our own institutions, intellectual character, domestic life, and moral qualities, would necessarily be at work in the minds of our professors to form a litera ture and philosophy independent, native, and, in the truest and most valuable sense, genial; it would there fore not tend to make us copyists of foreign systems, either in form or spirit, but would open for U 3 a new source of independence in these things." The vesting the majority of appointments to professor ships by the Commissioners in the Crown will be ex ceedingly distasteful to the University, and certainly calls f or a protest in favour of sharing nomi nations between the Prime , Minister and limited bodies of eminent men, a mode of election avow edly successful and strongly recommended by the evidence. Public lectureships having been established by former founders and visitors, and having only become obsolete through the neglect of their heirs, the endowment of the professorships from the corporate revenues of those colleges which can hear the charge without impairing their educational functions, is rather an act of reconstitution than of appropriation. But the cardinal reform recommended by the Commission is un doubtedly t h e opening of the College Fellowships, of course with every security for vested rights, to the free competition of industry, character, and talent; it is the keystone of the arch; the vital principle, the determin ing element of the practical value of their amendments. Any candid imagination may be left to infer the inten sity of the evil, and its mischievous operation iu at once robbing undergraduates of their legitimate stimulus to study, and in abandoning their education to the sheer caprices of chance, from the simple fact that out of 542 fellowships only 22 are free from multitudinous and tyrannical restrictions of birth, parentage, and school connexion. Space forbids the citation of more than a summary of the very abl e an d elaborate argument whereupon the Commissioners ground their appeal for the removal of these limitations, to Parliament—to Parliament, because, although the law will permit changes to be made with the joint consent of the college, the founder's heir, and the Crown, there is but faint hope of the colleges taking the initiative, espe cially in the teeth of the oaths which in many statutes solemnly denounce every innovation. The right of the Legislature to interfere:with the University scarcely need discussion, since it is very questionable whether it has not already sacrificed its legality by exceeding its powers in altering the Laudian Statutes; but the right of iuter forme° with the colleges is implied by the very nature of corporate property and of trusts; by the illegality of the founders' attempt, by stringent provisions, to attain a perpetuity in the laws affenting pro perty, a proceeding disallowed is courts of law as "contrary to public policy ;" by , the definitive principle that, in the construction of testa ments, a general and paramount shall prevail over a par ticular intent; and from the daily precedents of the ali enation of private property on compensation similar to that tendered by the Commissioners; even if we wore to put out of court the many venerable authorities—among others those of Coke and llallarn—cited by Mr. Dampier in his " Statement." In subjoining the summary alluded to above, it is only • just to glance tat the limitations in favour of schools connected with colleges, whose vital interests are maintained whil e their subordinate relations have been modified; and, in behalf of the principality of Wales, to which its exclusive • a part of College has been reserved , on the ground of its poverty and long arrears of England in the scale of intellectual advancement. . " For many reasons, therefore," such is the conclusion of the report, " and among others because the property of colleges is not, and cannot be applied as the founders directed; because it is now often made useless, and some times worse than useless; because experience has shown that own that the efficiency of a co ll ege an d the serv i ces which it renders to the University, are in direct propor tion to its freedom f rom restr i ct i ons; because the particular restrictions imposed by founders now really defeat their paramount objects, and are wholly unsuited to the present state of the em pire; because the changes proposed are by no means greater than those w hi c h t h e colleges h ave a l rea d y ad mitted in almost all respects; because such changes are essential to the success of almost any attempt to increase the numb ers , t o exten d the studies, or to improve the instruction of the University; and, lastly, because the college s canno t remove restr i ct i ons w i thout externa l as sistance; we are of opinion that the Legislature should relieve college foundations from all limitations in the election of their members, whether arising from birth. place or parentage."—Times.

LIVERPOOL ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. This is the second and last week of the engagement of Madame Celeste and idr. Webster. It . is not a f ew year s s i nce t h e f ormer o bt a i n ed special favour here, and her reputation attends her still—and deservedly so, when we bear in mind that melodramas open a field for celebrity almost equal with that of tragedy and comedy. Wo rank Mr. Webster, too, very high in the profession, and in one of the pieces played to Tuesday—Flying Colours— nothing his perfor mance. Considering the celebrity t h e f ormer could have surpassed the excellen ce o f has acquired in the Green Bushes it was natural that it should form a leading feature in the repertoire, and in it Madame Celeste opened with her wonted touching and truthful delineation of Miami. The 'French Spy fol lowoa, turd ao at has boon, familiar to all for twenty years, we need say no more than that its freshness was preserved by the superior acting of the company. On Friday Mind Your Own Business was produced for the benefit of Mr. Webster, and very successfully. It is to be repeated to-morrow. Last night Belphegor was re vived. The attendance was good, as in fact, with but a few exceptions, it has been for a considerable time.— Liverpool Standard of Tuesday. the T TH im E es EDITOR o f yesterday e Sir,—ln FTn l c h c e T r o l e is an mmEs:ton the excellent THE INCOME-TAX. i article on; the evidence befor e t h e Income and Property-tax, and it w ill not be o a re nr easyf matter for any person to dispute th e figures, the conclusions they lead to. I trust, by public discus sion, that the real advantages of a property-ta x , as re commended by me, will be fairly shown; and although it may be said to be impossible to propose any scheme of taxation that will be free from all objections, yet I venture to state that the direct property tax that should be payable by all persons and estates, in proportion to the amount of property in their possession during th e year, for the protection given to them by the Govern ment (for whose use the proceeds of the property-tax are to be applied), will be found more consistent with justice, and with promoting the industry of this country, than the present system of finance, by which 56 or 57 millions sterling are annually raised from the people of this country. My object in now addressing you is to inform you that no part of my report has received the approbation of the Committee, nor has it come under their deliberation; and you will, therefore, be pleased to consider me as alone responsible for the whole of that report, with the assurance, on my part, that I consider myself able to support the several principles and points therein advanced; and I feel confident that by discussion in your columns, and in the other public, journals of the country, Parliament will be able to find out a better system for raising the supplies of the year than the present one.

FILAL ;v aY 1-NTELLIGENCE. EP...S . IEIIN . UNION. Th© half-yearly general ineetiug of proprietors was held yesterday at the compay's efces at Ipswich, Mr. J. C. CobOold, t 1. 1 3,, in the chid:. The direetors-: repoe, end the financial statement (which have already al . T2,lred in The Sun) having been read, The CHAIRMAN expressed his regret that the dire:, tors had again to meet the proprietors without being able to declare a dividend. He also regretted to say that they had met wiahout any arras Bement havieg been come to with their creditors, so as to place the shareholders in a more satisfactory position. It was e h n o e ld es e , rs it co w u o ld uld no t t w in irn s o o o nl s e sib w le aY to arr e a x n t now clear that if th e or di nary and preference com panyshare- holders from its diffi c ul t i es . if both cl ,-, Qs-s of share riec extricate their e d itier holders could be induced to agree to some reasonable proposition, the company !night not only b e p u t in a p ir i tloa to surmount its etifficulticiF, but it might et h:;!cla ;mimed piLlce in the railway world, eit.li!.:r asp ,an ;,“:eper:(!ent rine or :mit:gaunter] other compa- The iii'r: Parli:nain: which the comodny had obtained in last Eession leave , tbern power to convert 250,000/. into etock, arid a furthcr sum of 78,00 d. with ,tile cone,eni: of the preference kliare holders. The direeturs believed that if they had not obtained those powers, they would not be able to extricate the company frem its difficultiee. The unfortunate jealousy whLb existed between the ordinary end the preference shareholders had as yet prevented this from being carried out, but he hoped that some arrangement might be come to at the approaching meeting of: the preference share holders. The company had at present a debenture debt of 620,000/,, upon which they had to pay in terest at the rate of 5 p.r2r cent., making an annual charge of 31,000/. Taey had also . the power to con vert 250,0201. of " creditors' stock' at a rate of in terest not exceeding 4 per cent. This would amount to 10,0001. ; and then they had the power to issue new shares to th e ex t e nt of 77,8251., the annual charge upon which, at 4 per cent., would be upwards of 3,0001. In addition to these charges there was the rent of the Stour Valley line, com muted at 9,0001., and the whole o f those charges would amount to 55,1831. per annum. Tee terms originally proposed to the creditors were upon a 3i per cent. calculation, which would make an annual charge on the company of 53,0001. before the ordinary anything. It was manifest, therefore, that unless the preference shareholders combined with the ordinary shareholders the latter could not get any dividend. If this could be done he believed that the company would soon be able to redeem their preference h s ares at par. He regretted that the chairman of the Eastern Coun ties Company had not only vilified them, but had made statements at variance with the facte. That Hon. Gentleman appeared to think that they had broken faith with the Eastern Counties Compa n y. Tait, however, was not the case, for the Eastern Counties Company had themselves virtually repu diated the arrangement of February, 1850, for the Norwich traffic, and, so far from dividing the traffic equitably with the Eastern Union Company, had ac tually sent four-fifth s o f th e go ods traffic over the Cambridge line, and only one.fifth over the Col chester line. Vh 7 ' it regard to the passenger traffic, although the companies to charge the same Eastern had agreed fares, the Counties Company had done all in their power to divert on the traffic from the Colchester line and t o put it ducement o f qu i ck and theirown,by offering the frequentin trains, while they Colchester worked th e t ra i ns on the line at so slow a pace that the public could not lieved that an amalgamation of travel by it. He be eastern district w ou ld b e the beat course, the lines in the the proprietors, but al so f or the shcourse, not only for an amalgamation would b e i n no v :holder s . S uc h a re of the two great companies—tho North-Western aimil ar t o t h at Great Western—because they had no great t and interests co mmon, whereas the Eastern Countiesn and the Eastern Union had interests identical with each other.--(Hear, hear.) The directors of the Eastern Counties Company had stated in their last report that they were willing to meet th e Eastern Union Company en the basis of what they could earn. These terms they were quite willing to accept, provided the line were fairly worked, and no improper inducements held out to divert the traffic. But to show the lengths to which that company w ere going to get traffic, it was known that they had made a secret agreement with the traders of Norwich to carry their goods at a less price than it was arranged they should be carried for over the Colchester line. They had also endeavoured to divert the traffic from the Eastern Union Company, by running their own trains at nearly double the speed at which they worked the trains over the Eastern Union line.— (Hear, hear.) He denied that the Eastern Counties Company had served the public in a fair and reason. able manner by the mode in which they had worked the Colchester line. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that the report and the financial statement be received and adopt d. After some discussion, in the course of which the CHAIRMAN stated his hop, that the ar bit ra ti on w i t h the Eastern Counties CompNny would soon be satis factorily concluded, the motion was egreed to, and the meeting separated.

An inquest was held on Thursday, on view of his body and of that of Bancroft, the signal-man, who com mitted suicide ; and evidence (confirming the account we pub lished) was adduced to show that the collision occurred through the negligence of Bancroft entirely, as the guard of the luggage tram was on his way back up the line, with his light, when the passenger train met him, then so near to the train that he could not stop his engine. It seemed clear that nearly all the engines were over tasked ; and the jury after returning verdicts of manslaughter against Bancroft for the death of Greenhalgh, and temporary insanity in his own case, added the following to their verdict :—The jury cannot se parate without expressing their opinion that the servants em ployed on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, from Liver pool to Bolton, on Monday, the 23d of August, were totally inadequate to me,t the extraordinary demands upon them consequent upon running special trains; and also deprecate in the strongest terms the running of trains of such unusual lengths, and with a deficiency of locomotive power to work the same ; and, further, that there was great irregularity in the starting and arr i va l of trains on the day before named, no less than seven t ra i ns (two of them nu mbering upwards thirty carriag es eac h ), and extending nearly a nails in )girth' accumulating `enr'en accumulating on one line of rails at the Bolton ststtio% , and dering an inc rease of servants indispenable to the sal effectual working of the line." g nuEKE DUBLIN, FRIDAY.—ARREST OF FATlionit Clare for Wednesday AND CLUNE..—I have reason to believe thatu counts of evening warrants were sent down to the co lave, who are the arrest of Father Burke and Father ueens troops at charged with leading the attack t pe t n h d at - Six-mile-gridwarrant h g a e d . been A re revere nd rioters had been ing the procurement of bail, . thesverw--- Conveyed to the gaol of Enni o % Wednesday afternoon as n e ott here rioters , last'and that, nigh SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ra bout to return from Barnet proper y, races in a vehicle, the .ao by (Teorge Budd, coachman, in a party of gentlemen we- - 'i t of Mr. Potter, of High• street, Marylebone , df man , on driving out of the stable the employ of that gent le arc , the coachman came into violent executed rt wa i n cug d P °-rr u tr : the w th it e h G th re e e t n or r i 7 the gateway, which . is rather low, sentience, knocked forcibly against driving• ox, ed by a 3c7bOalllio°oaff the and he was, in C/Cin- 6 and thence precipitated to the was a s speedily as possible attend his recovery, the me , but no ground. diee subsequent) e2,... .,,P: n an a hopee ar e e nyt entertained etdO ofU ersity College ii°sPital'broken. opine bein g S~DiATEUR PERFORMANCES OF THE GUILD OF LrTaAND ART.—Derby has this week been honoured n ' t t h .r o - Performance of Mr. Dickens and the Guild, in the with re Ball.
