Higgins, U.S.N., commander, arrived off Cowes this morning, and after landing the English and French mails and passengers, proceeded on her voyage to Bremcn. The Hermann left New York at three P.M. on the 14th instant. She brings about fifty passengers, and on freight a small quantity of specie for Havre and Bremen. The Africa arrived out en the 11th instant. The news by this steamer is of no great importance, and is only of three days' later date than that brought by the last Liverpool packet. A portion of the Whigs of North Carolina opposed to the election of General Scott had nominated the lion. Daniel Webster for President, and William A. Graham for Vice-President. A similar movement Was to be made in Georgia, and was likely to spread throughout the south. The National Free Soil Convention at Pittsburg had nominated John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, for President, and George W. Julien, of Indiana, for Vice-President. The Herald remarks upon this nomination— " This nomination of Mr. Hale throwa the two old parties of the country back upon their original grounds. It will take fr om th e Whig and Democratic ranks all the Free-soilers of every shade anc: hue—thus injuring One party about as much as the other, and leaving tho great body of the people to decide upon the principles at issue between them. True, it will will greatly cut d own the vote of both; but then it is not likely that it will interfere with the actual strength of either, as did the Buffalo ticket in 1848. In that contest Mr. Van Buren, in additio n to r ec eiving the Free-soil vote of the country, was supported by a long line of old and warm person a l f r i ends. Mr. Hale has no suc h persona l popu larity, He will get the vote of his party, composed of all the colours isms, and ites of the country, and nothing '*ore. He was formerly considered as belonging to the 111 " rats, but in the United States Senate of late he has bee n anywhere, everywhere, and nowhere, just as it wiled his convenience. Mr. Julien, the nominee for . l ee - Presid en t, re p resen t e d the fourth district of Indiana In the last Congress." With reference to the fisheries dispute there ap pears to be little of a novel character. The Herald " The information detailed by our special Washing ton c orrespondent with regard to the fishing troubles, if co rreet—a n d no doubt it is—is highly important. The "visitsr asserts that he has it from a reliable source, that t he British Government has not, and will not, approve of the forced construction placed upon the treaty by the e co lonists. Th e y c l a i m ex c lusive ri g ht insid e the head els s• All tha t England requires is, that foreign ves shall not take fish within a marine league of the actual shore. This is very plain and simple; and, if !tich be really the position of Great Britain on the sub -I,:eueiktt,e, Mr. Webster was certainly very wide of the mark 'is proclamation. But, be all this as it may, it is evident, according to all accounts, that many of c 1 3 5 /1 t fiehermen have been most ungenerously dealt with, ince.ithheyr the e e colonists iormer. or the British naval officers—most The American fishermen, when TsPutably beyond the prescribed bounds, have been r usted off, and, in one or two instances, captured and I(2ll64cated.

The bluenoses, who . have been ril ing bounty from the United States, will be caught, their rascality exposed. The chief feature in the It'irleeccedings of the United States' Senate yesterday was gentleman seems of Mr. Souls, on the fishing question. This of th u e sman seems to have taken an entirely distinct view e se , case, and dissents is Coto from the opinions of Se ifthrY Webster, General Cass, and others." roll°win • same journal of the 12th instant contains the „ , g•— e ues 'ar special Washington correspondent states that a twour was current last evening that the breach be• weeis Messrs.

The fishery affair, which difeca"Y assuming a very ominous shape, and the guano tr o i ti ltY with Peru, are matters that require all the the many of which Mr. Webster Is master, to bring Co oii to an amicable adjustment.

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 tear 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. Our remarks, such as they were, seem to have pene trated into the recesses of that Imperial solitude in which Monsieur Louis Bonaparte spends the happy 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 tew 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. He 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 he 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 he 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 Elysia 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 are 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, ho 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 passers-by, 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. The proper anniversary is the 4th of De em, en murdered ro b do e ee r rn , esd a . n i t ht ho s hnocauhml children a celebratedrate, rm i a ga t hr tm the s, recallold mothers men Miami- 6 des slain on their thresholds, children of seven old massacred, as w e ll as t h e other glories whichyears the President takes so m uc h cre di t to himself for not commemorating. The real question is, have we b een dreaming all this while? Is it a pretence that France is disinherited of all her rights, that political life exists no longer for her, as the Times dares to assert? And is she, on the contrary, as Monsieur Bonaparte declares, making the first essay of the most unbounded liberty? It France has political life, we shall find it, like animal 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 he has suffered to exist, so often as he allows it to have its course. The army is com manded by the same General Msgnan 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. Here also we can find no political life. Tho Senate is a baud 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 chock. 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 forced to vote for the nominee .of the Government, and thus disgrace an institution tlie are nut permitted to use. We are , then, justified in no po t o i nu o ac life;l in h g and, t nd a , fin we Francepass from m a at n p s present n s t t h o e re acts, l we 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 be 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 dues 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 pliant 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 be 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 Illoniteur there is more offence than in our honest and open censures. Servitude is only the more galling when it is called freedom, and despotism never so insulting as when it wears the mask of liberality. Monsieur Bonaparte repudiates comparisons with the rom him self Can he trace no family like. , "Amid the acclamations ne e s w s e t r o E o m ire ne personage, at least in the sketch which of a flattering Court he Gibbon gives of of C i o l m om m e o ' d was us i unableto disguis of sense and virtue in his empire; fero ciousever y man - the consciousness of that that he had deserved the contempt andh h at i r s ed o f spirit was irritated by hatred, ap apprehension h t e h n e s in of da envyo of everynar e kind of merit, and by the just MAN LOWER ED MYSTERIOTICI DEATH OF A A T .

SlR,—Nest week is equally prolific of race meetings with the present, not less than nine fixtures being marked to come off. Stourbridgo is en the list for Mon , day and Tuesday ; Eccles, Monday, Tuesday, and Wed nesday; Lincoln and Westbury, Tuesday and Wednes day; Morpeth, Wednesday and Stirling, Thursday and Friday; and Bridgenorth and Marlborough on Friday. The only meeting I shall touch upon to-day is that of Stourbridge, which commences on Monday 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 ?lb is not remarkably good, although not altogether out. Prime Minister, with the top weight up, if he runs will finish forward, but not as th,.? winner. In the absence of Ethelwelf, I think FORESTER and BESS OF HARD WICK will occupy the first and second places. The Ladies' Purse, a mile run, must terminate, to my thinking, in placing GREENOAXS and Ludy Bibina first and second; with May-day well up. The Gold Cup, two miles, I think may be booked a certainty for that sticking son of Simoom, AARON Ssirru. Waterfall and Gholab Singh 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, Hirsuta, and Trickstress were also inquired after. For the War wick Cap 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 no 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 agst Aaron Smith, 2to 1 taken freely. Lincolnshire Handicap-2 to 1 agat 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 agat Russborougb, Hirsuta, and Hugo; 10 to 1 agst Made line; 15 to 1 agat Trickstress; 20 to 1 each agst 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 agat Harbinger; 20 to 1 each agat Lapidist and Trousseau. In accordance with my notification yesterday I here with attach its probable field for the St. Leger, with the jockies' 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 (Templeman), Caracara (Holmes), Claverhouse (Marlow), Ilex (J. Mann), Alfred the Great (Bumby), Longbow (Simpson), Lapidist (G. Brown), Sackbut (Matson or Sly).

TILE OXFORD UNIVERSITY COM MISSION. 'rho temperate advocates of academical reform have not unreasonably congratulated themselves on the tone of the Oxford University Report. Among the panic stricken alarms so industriously fomented at the citadel of the High Church party on the birth of the Commis sion, not the least ominous and seductive was the imputed centralizing tendency of the measure: academical and collegiate indepedence, presumably the vital principle °full sorbed in th e vortex of Parliamentary management; that was gr eat and good in Oxford, was about to be ab and the authors of th e report before us were magnified by the jealous ey e o f a sinister fancy into a perpetual Board of Control, en camped under the presidency of a Minister of Public In s t ruct i on, in the heretical regions of White hall. Th e enormous increase in the value of capitular estates, under th e h ands of the Ecclesiastical Commis sion, and th e p revalence of the mischievous system of tines in the a d m i n i stration of college property, not un naturally cherished the suspicion that the latter was destined to a similar reform ; and, indeed, wo ourselves, though far from apprehensive of a permanent aliena tion, were not unprepared for the suggestion of Parlia mentary facilities towards the adoption of a scheme un attainable by the colleges save at a large immediate sacrifice; and, single in s t ance , and that merely on a partial scale. Yet, initiat e d as yet, we b el i eve, on ly i n a in spite of th ese di smal auguries, there has been, with a few seemi ng rat h er than real exceptions, no violation of the muni c ip a l privileges Englishmen so dearly prize. The government o f the University and colleges is still to be internal, an d administered by its constitutional ma chinery; the dig n i ty of the Chancellor is unimpaired, and the pow e r s o f the visitors, whom the founders estab lished, have b een ra i sed from the 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, di ctated, like a Greek constitution, by the tyranny of singl e pr i nciples, and modelled on one-sided views by the obliq u it y of sectarian caprice Framed in a spirit of Roman comprehensiveness, and imbued with a truly English endur ance of casual anomalies, it bends with elasticity to the vari e d sway of antecedents, and gra duates its measures with a discriminating deference to special claims, and exi gencies, and permanent obliga tions. True, in the m ain, to the temper of the people whose reforms exemplify the proverb, " The nation that has no yesterday has no to-morrow," in the most im portant of its changes we see the hand of Renovation, 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 upon the University Convocation, and thereby inflict a democratic legislature, the worst possible govern ment for an academic c ommunity. Doubtless, also, Convocation will find in the house of Cou 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 Senate, will give to the Initiative Council, many " of the valuable elements for legislation which the place can supply, intellect, 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 instructiotal, and and practbal ha of its trusts, property, and finances." But—so strong the heads of houses isni bits," rapport between from senior their ver tutorsy aangde —such a council must ever lack the cardinal virtue of antagonism; the principle of progres will be 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, w ill be mate rially aided by delegacies and c ommittees; end the danger of its sinking into a debating society, or of the growth of organized parties, are at any rate partielly en countered by the caution that it shall only be convoked by the Vice-Chancellor whenever propositions for dis cussion are signed by a fixed majority of its members, or are introduced by the Hebdomadal Board, which, though shorn of its ancient supremacy, is still to share 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, " nigrissim o 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 or 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 age 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 U n i versity i extension which is most susceptible of rapid contraction, and least prodigal of original outlay—th ere can hardly be a d o ubt of the desirability of renderin g the blessings of academical training at any rate av a il a b le on a wider scale. ne reduced average of exp en di ture, not exceeding 200 1. for ' a degree, at which the r eport computes the liab ili t i es of students living in lodgi ngs unconnected with the col. _ col leges; the opportunity th us offered of giving as Univer sity education to a larger and a poorer c l as s, the expe diency of rekindling th e energy of the colleges b y come ° the University and the pr o f essoriate, are the petition, and of countera ct i ng their absorption l'" attractions to this scheme in the e y es o f the nd Commis sioners. The competition between its advantages a those of independent or affiliated halls mainly hinge on the efficiency of its safeguards for discipline. and morals ; and with these we are by no mea ns 13a fied. The report appeals to the example of Cambridge, but this is at best a double.edged argument, for every Cantab will admit that if the industrious flock to lo ges fogs to study unnisturbtd, the e fast" man is of license. anxious to secure them for their opportunities 0 ' "e the The wealthier students, indeed, are to be boarded ta rs ; houses of professors, or to live with responsible tutors a but the poorer scholars are invited to dispense _wl k trolled by " tutors or guardians of the students,o make resident master in their house, and only remote!ya esopne-. spe cies of wandering University police, who themselves acquainted with their pupils, them, morally and religiously', " so far as the,,ClLh an permit."

The merit of these suggestions is unhappily obscured by the very indefinite terms in which the functions of the professors and the lecturers are alluded to. The lecturers are described as subordinate to the professors, but are evidently destined to address classes; and, if so , we 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 best 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. Bo 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 no very , formidable quarter, against the recal 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 remind them that it is the et trained rytedbcamai, amfsainilattioonisnibfoerrudilezgeretehse. 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 us a new source of independence in these things." The vesting the majority of appointments to professor distasteful to the U n i vers i ty, an d certa i n l y palls ships by the Commissioners in the Crown will be ex a protest in f avour o f s h ar i ng nomi gsoyrbetween the Prime Mini s t er an d li m i te d eminent men, a mod e o f e l ect i on avow edly successful and strongly recommended by th e evidence. Public lectureships having be en established by former founders and visitors, and having bodies e e l dt di nations nns fl f only become obsolete through the neglect of their heirs, the endowment of the professorships from the corporate revenues of those colleges which can bear 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 the 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 in at once robbing undergraduates of their legitimate stimulus to study, and in abandoning their e ducation to the sheer caprices of chance, from t he simple fact that out of 542 fellowships onl y 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 able and elaborate argument whereupon tho 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 inter ference 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 affecting pro perty, a proceeding disallowed in 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 were to f a a v v o e u r been o f schools modified; an d, in behalf wit h of l put out of court t h e many venera b le authorit i es—among others those of C o k e an d H a ll am — c i ted b y M r .

The number of new Members is 260, and of this number only about twenty were Members of Parliaments which preceded the last. The Speaker is, therefore, apprehensive that the great majority of the new Members will be so unacquel 41 with the forms of procedure that serious inconvenienc e ar ad. result to the public business, when the session is I h, Clinittees vanced, that it will be necessary to employ —at be a ble to nearly all those Hon.

HER MAJESTY'S JOURNEY to SCOTLAND. 1 GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.-1 he necessary ar rangements for her Majesty's reception at Gloucester, on Monday nex', on the occasion of her passing through this place on her journey to Balmoral, are now nearly completed. Her Majesty, who will leave Osborne early 11 the morning, will reach Gloucester by the Great Western Railway, at absut a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon, The town council of Gloucester have held three meetings within the week on the subject of her Majesty's reception. At the third meeting held this afternoon, a correspondence was read between the mayor and Mr. Walpole, from which it appears that the Queen has expressed her willingness to receive an address from the corporation. On the arrival of her Majesty at the Gloucester platform, therefore, Lord Malmesbury, who will be in attendance on the Queen, will present Mr. Clutterbuck, the mayor of the city, to her Majesty, and his worship will then present the loyal and dutiful ad dress of the corporation and citizens. It is arranged (in consequence of the coarse behaviour of the assembled multitude on the occasion of her Majesty passing through Gloucester in 1849), that the platform shall be kept entirely clear ; but accommoda tion for the public is to be provided at the extremity of the platform, on both the " arrival" and "departure" side. Admission to these points will be obtained by tickets only, issued by the officials. A number of rail way trucks are to be placed on the line, near the station, in which the children of the city public schools will be placed—an arrangement not at all likely to contribute to their safety, and where it will be utterly impossible for the juveniles to see more than the outsides of the carriages as the royal train flits by them. Her Ma jesty, on alighting at Gloucester, will walk across the Midland 'platform, and step in►o the narrow guage train, which will be in waiting for the reception of the Royal party. LIVERPOOL ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. This is the second and last week of the engagement of Madame Cel es t e an d M r . Webster . It is not a few year s s i nce the former obtained s pecial favour her e, and her rep u t at i on attends her still—and deserve dly so, for celebrity we b ear i n mind that melodramas open a fi e ld celebrity almost equal with that of tragedy and comedy. We rank M r. Webster, too, very high in the profession, and in on e o f the pieces played on Tuesday—Flying Colours—nothing Could have surpassed the excellence of his performance. Considering the celebrity the former has amaired in the Green Bushes, it was natural that it should form a leading featur e in the repertoire, and in it Madame Celeste opened with her wonted touching and truthful delineation of Miami. The French Spy fol lowed, and as it has been familiar to all for twenty years, we need say no more than th at i ts freshness was preserved b y the superior acting o f t h e company. On Friday M i nd Your Own Business was produced for the benefit of Mr. Webster, and very successfully. It is to be repeated to-morrow. Last night Belpheyor 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 INCOME-TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TINES. Sir,—ln the Times of yesterday there is an excellent article on; the evidence before the Committee on the Income and Property-tax, and it will not be an easy matter for any person to dispute the figures, or refute the conclusions they lead to. I trust, by public discus sion, that the real advantages of a property-tax , 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 the 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 deliber a ti on; an d 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. I remain your obedient servant, Burnsly-hall, Aug. 26. JOSEPH HUME. RAILWAY RETURNS TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. Miles opened, NAME OF RAILWAY.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN UNION. The half -yearly general meeting of proprietors was held yesterday at the company's offices at Ipswich, Mr. J. C. Cobbold, M.P , in the chair. The direct ors ' report, ' and the financial statement (which have already appeared in The Sttn) having been read, The CHAIRMAN expressed his regret that the direc- , tors had again to meet the proprietors without being able to declare a dividend. lie also regretted to say that they had met without an yarrangement havin g been come to with their creditor shareholders in a more satisfactosryspoossfistioton.p a ls c ht e t wase now clear that if th e or di nary and ' holders could not i n some way arra p ng re e e t r he n i t e r h e differ ences,are" it would he i m p oss ibl e to extricate com pany from its di ffi culti es . If both cla sses of e shae holders could be indu ce d t o agree to somereasonable r propoFition, the company m i g h t not only be put in a position to surmount its difficulties, but it might yet hold a good place in the railway world, either as an independent line or amalgamated with other compa nies. The Act of Parliament which the company had obtained in the last session gave them power to convert 250,0001. into stock, and a further sum of 78,0001. with the consent of the preference share holders. The directors believed that if they bad not obtained those powers, they would not be able to extricate the company from its difficulties. The unfortunate jealousy which existed between the ordinary and the preference shareholders had as yet prevented this from being carried out, but be 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 6200001„ upon which they had to pay in terest at th e rate of 5 per cent., making an annual charge of 31,000/. They 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 the extent of 77,8251., the annual charge upon which, at 4 per cent., would be upwards of 3,0001. In addition to those charges there was the rent of the Stour Valley line, commuted at 9,0001., and the whole of those charges would amount to 55,1831. per annum. The 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 shareholders would get 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 shares 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 facts. That lion. Gentleman appeared to think that they had broken faith with the Eastern Counties Company. This, 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 Com pany, bad ac tually sent f our -fif ths of the goods traffic over the Cambridge line, and o n l y one -fi fth over the Col chester theline. hadrd to the passenger traffic, although companies their power t o di vert the trafficc Company had done all in agreed to charge the same fares, the Ea s t ern Counties from the Colchester line and to put it on their own, b offeri ng th e in ,. while s h oile slow t they ducement of quick and freque n t s ;r worked the trains on th e Colchesterlsiinnes a —foobr pace that the public could not travel b y lieved that an amalgamation of a ll the l i n est. H e in e b th e e " eastern district would be the best course, no t on ly the proprietors, but also for the shareholders. o an amalgamation would be in no way similar to that of the two great companies—the North-Western an d Great Western—because they had no great interests common, whereas the Eastern Counties 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 the Eastern Union Company on the basis of what they could earn. These terms they were quite willing to accept, provided the line were fairly worked, and n o improper inducements held out to divert the traffic. But to show the lengths to which that company were 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 adopted. After some discussion, in the course of which the CHAIRMAN stated his hope that the arbitration with the Eastern Counties Company would soon be satis factorily concluded, the motion was agreed to, and the meeting separated. M. Marchand-Ennery, grand rabbi of the central consistory of the Jews in France, died on Saturday last. M.

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 train 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 paratep ley e d without e n the L e a x n p e r a e s s h s i i n r e g a n t h d e i x r• eopinione t R h a a t i l w t h a e v s t e fr r e v m a nt s em- Liver pool to Bolton, on M onday, the 23d of August, were totally inadequate to met tha extraordinary demands uon them consequent upon running special trains ; and also d eprec at e . in the strongest terms the running of trains of such un usual lengths, and with a deficiency of locomotive P ewer ir t ity ia the same ; and, further, that there was great irregnaamed, no the starting and arrival of trains on the day before hp _ . „ . of less than seven trains (two of them numbering lei : thirty carriages each), and extending nearly ml accumulating on one line of rails B bie to the safe and dering an increase of servants indispena effectual working of the line."
