The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatches : " Angouleme, Oct. 10, Quarter to Twelve at Night. " After a dinner offered to the principal functionaries cad personages of the department, the Prince proceeded o the hall, through the midst of au immense and en thusiastic population, who had been waiting for bin from four o'clock. The cries of Vivo l'Eaapereur !' Which had saluted him along his passage, were redoubled at his entrance into the ball-room, where upwards of . fl,OOO guests were assem bl e d. Si m il ar acclamat i ons frequently burst out during the evening, and were re peated to the moment of his departure. A compact crowd was waiting for him outside. The streets which he Was to pass through were encumbered with a population constantly crying ' Vivo I'Empereur!' Vivo Napoleon TII,r His Highness leaves in the morning for Roche toTt" " Oct. 11, Nine at night. " His Highness left Agouleme this morning at seven O'clock. The bishop and his clergy, and the principal functionaries of the department, were present at his de parture. The population saluted him with the loudest eicelamations. At Lliersac, two triumphal arches were erected by the inhabitants, who bore on their hats, in large letters, the words Vive l'Empereur!' At Jarnac, the crowds of the population were still more numerous and enthusiastic. In fine, at Cognac, the Prince was re ceived at the entrance into the town by the Mayor and iiiunicipsl body, under a fine triumphal arch, bearing the inscription Viva l'Empereur! Vive NapoliJn It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the populations, every face being radiant with joy. The passage of the Prince through the Charente was a triumphal march,which bill leave in the hearts of all an ineffaceable impression. Au, noon his Highness quitted the department to enter the Charente-In4cieure. The health of the Prince is excellent." The speech delivered by the PRINCE PRESIDENT at Bordeaux in responding to the toast proposed by M. bUFOU R DIIDERYER, President of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, is of sufficient importance to be given without curtailment. The following was the PRINCE'S reply ; "I accept with eagerness the opportunity afforded 'me by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce for thank ing your great city for its cordial reception and its magnificent hospitality, any journey to communicate and I am happy at the end of municate the impressions I have re cv.eved. "The object of my tour, as you are well aware, was to la° myself acqua i nted, by personal observation, with the beautiful provinces of the south, and to ascertain their real wants. It has, however, led to a far more important result.

A mausoleum had been erected for the occasion, and a religious ceremony preceded the military manifestations.

Ho had written a letter to the widow of his victim, to entreat her to implore the clemency of the Queen, as the real authors of the m u rder were at liberty. The Queen refused, and the execution was fixed for Sun day last. Another murderer was executed before him, and when his turn came he advanced boldly towards the scaffold, and attempted to read a paper to the crowd, but was prevented. He then drew forth a long knife, and was about to stab the executioner, when the latter struck him a blow on . the head. He then raised his knife again, but the executioner with his knife stabbed him, and he fell to the ground. An assistant executioner then stabbed him in the back, and the executioner re peated his blows, inflicting seventeen wounds on the whole. When he was dead the form of execution was proceeded ou the dead body." SPORTIN G NOTES. No. CCCXXVI. YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET, AND THE FIELDS FOR TO. &c. TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN. SlB,—Like unto Monday's races, my opinion was verified in nearly every instance, as I placed the first and second fur the Royal Stakes, the first, second, and third for the Clearwell, and gave Weathergage and Lady Evelyn as likely occupants of the second and third posi tions in the Cesarewitch. The horse that I must relied on to pull me through, 1/3 Juif, after a deal of manoeuv ring, was scratched—a creditable performance, truly. The race is one that requires little comment, as three fourths of the horses were beaten by the time they had reached the distance. The favourite took the lead when two hundred and fifty yards from home, had the rest of it his own way, and won cleverly by half a length, Lady Evelyn, who had been gradually improving her position for the last quarter of a mile, not being able, notwith standing the artistic efforts of Frank, to get any nearer than the half length. The Knight of the Shire had quantum sue'. half-way up the dis tance, and finished a bad third. The Indian Warrior and his stable companion Kingston were immediately upon the Knight's track. Behind,them came a large body of horses, at the head of which one of Lord Exeter's and Little Davie figured prominently. The pace was good, and time 4 min. 7 sec. The race for the Royal Stakes was all one way; Longbow, after waiting upon Poodle until half way up the distance, went to his head and won easily by half a length. Glenluce was a lair third, and Ilex an in different last. The Clearwell Stakes afforded us one of the prettiest races ever seen at Newmarket, as it was a head and head affair with Filbert, Estrella, Orinoco, and Lascelles for the last hundred yards; Orinoco winning very cleverly from Estrella by a head; the latter had only half a length the advantage of Filbert; who, in his turn, contrived to beat Lascelles by a neck. The money invested upon Filbert for the Derby previous to this race was enormous, amounting to very little short, it is said, of 5,0001., which will make the sum laid, at 30 to 1, about 150,0001. The horse was brought to the post in anything but tip-top condition, and is capable of a great deal of improvement; but, as I remarked yester day, will only turn out a sort of Midas in his racing career, though much larger than that game little pony. It seems that Ninnyhatnmer, notwithstanding the case of forfeits, &c., will go to the post to-day for the Bed ford Stakes, and doubtless will give the winner a tying-up. Five stakes out of the seven set down to b 3 run to morrow have yet to close and name. The Cracow Stakes, Cesarewitch Course, will be con tested by only Ben Nevis and Wingenund. The firetbi Stakes, last three-quarters of the Rowley mile, will have the filly by Alarm, out of Rosalind, Miss Tennyson, filly by Lanercost, out of Baleine, Dove, or Phrygia (perhaps both), Glenavon, and, 'as said, Syl phine. Not imagining that Sylphine can be in anything like respectable form as yet, after the blistering end other treatment she received some three or four weeks ago, I mast look to a darkie—the filly by Alarm, out of Rosalind, and a well known runner, Phrygia, to fill the first and second places, and place Glenavon third on the list. The Match for 200, over the T.Y.C., between Nathan and Sister to Caracara, will, I understand, be run; it ought to terminate in favour of the latter. In addition to the four I gave yesterday as the starters tin for the Prend ergas t , must be enrolled the name o f Si t - Chgbourne, eddar. who is now quit e as go od a favourite us The result of the Cesarewitch has had its effect upon the London list houses, the shuttings up at the West End being more numerous than usual on the issue of a great race. The City houses, which have got so many e nemies, are of a much more stable nature than their brethren of the aristocratic locality. The sporting public were rather astonished this morning at the clos ing of Mr. H--'s of Long-acre and Farringdon-street, whose name was considered as good as cash, but who, it is reported, will eventually settle with his creditors in full. What Amazed the betting world most, however, was the stoppage of a house hitherto considered invul nerable to the shafts of suspicion, Mr. C----'s, of King street, Covent-garden. Several other houses have also disappeared, but they belong to that class only trusted by relations from the country and other verdant persons. The betting this morning at Newmarket on the Pren dergast is confined to offers on the field against Ched dar, and to back Sittingbourne and Orinoco respectively at 7to 4 and 3to 1. The betting in town makes Sit tingbourne first favourite at a slight call of the field. I am, Sir, &e., Oct. 13. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. TUESDAY'S RACES. NEW3IARKET, 5 o'Cnocis.—The success of the " grand day'' has in every respect coma up to our expectations. The cheap and first-class special and ordinary trains brought an immense number of passengers, many of them of rank. The weather has been remarkably fine, the " gathering" on the heath equal to anything that has been seen of late years, and the racing, moderate it must be admitted in quality, very interesting. If we take the two days as a specimen, we may look forward to a brilliant wind up to the Newmarket campaign.

Seventeen others gave dividends varying from 20 to 10 per cent. ; twenty paid from 10 to 5 per cent.; while thirteen paid dividends varying from 5 per cent. to nothing, or were so good as not to be in the market. Of the dock companies, the Com mercial paid 8i; the London, 4i; the West India, 10 per cent. The assurance companies, again, paid dividends varying from 10 per cent. downwards, while the privileges of the Bank of England were curtailed, and the ruinous restriction preventing the formation of a banking company with more than six partners within the metropolitan district was abolished. Rail roads were first formally introduced to the money market, and mechanics' institutions, which, he was sorry to say, were dying out so fast in 1852, began to s pread over the land. An Atlantic and Pacific rail road was also projected and scouted to be revived with every prospect of success at the present day, to gether with an improved telegraph system, which was now receiving so complete a development. The crisis of 1847 was so recent that he could hardly touch it further than to say that was only a climax of a long system of overtrading brought suddenly about by the potato blight. We were now entering on a period of excitement which was producing various projects ; amongst others a new Crystal Palace, with its rail way, and a company for the complete development of the electric light. From all these circumstances, and remembering Lord Bacon's aphorism that " Money, Ike muck, must be spread out to do good," he inferred that commer c i a l cr i ses we r e seldom an unmixed evil, at generally resulted in much ulterior good. A short conversation followed arising out of the various points touched upon in the paper, after which thanks were voted to Mr. Francis and the chairman, and the meeting separated.

ELECTION OF THE EARL OF DERBY AS CHANCELLOR. OXFORD, TIIEFDAY.—A Convocation was held here this day at noon for the purpose of electing a Chancel lor of the *University, in the room of his Grace the late Duke of Wellington. The proceedings took place in Convocation Hall, before the Vice-Chancellor (Dr. Plumptre), but no opposition appearing—the Earl of ' Derby being the only candidate—little public interest was excited on the occasion, though there was a tolerably 1 full attendance of the members of the University, with here and there a sprinkling of ladies. Amongst the gentlemen we observed, besides the Rev. the Vice-Chan cellor, the Dean of Christ Church, the Master of Balliol College, the Provost of Oriel, the Principal of Erase nose College, the President of Trinity College, the War den of Merton College, the Principal of Jesus College, the President of Corpus Christi College, the Warden of Wadham College, the Principal of St. Alban Hall, the Principal of Magdalen Hall, the President of St. John's College, the Warden of All Souls College, the Principal of St. Edmund Hall, the Rector of Lincoln College, the Principal of St. Mary Hall, the Provost Of Worcester College, Archdeacon Clarke, Dr. Ashurst, Rev. Dr. Bull, canon of Christ Church; Rev. Mr. Michell, Rev. Dr. Bandinel, Rev. Mr. Cornish, Rev. Mr. Gandell, Rev. Mr. Marriott, Rev. C. P. Golightly-, Rev. S. Rcay, Rev. Dr. Whorwoed, Rev. Mr. Robinson, Rev. W. C. Risley, Rev. Mr. Ogle, Rev. Mr. Lys, Rev. Mr. Rowden, Rev. Mr. Macray, Rev. P. Serie, Rev. Mr. Woolcombe, Rev. R. C. Hales, Rev. Dr. l3loxhorn, Rev. Mr. Judge, Rev. Mr. Jacob, Rev. Mr. Rigaud, Rev. Mr. Hobhouse, Rev. Mr. Chaffers, Rev. Mr. Dyke, Dr. Bellamy, Rev. R. Hake, Rev. Mr. Ludlow, Rev. Mr. Chase, Rev. H. O. Case, Rev. Mr. Clutterbuck, Professor Hussey, Rev. Mr. Swabey, Rev. Mr. Haddan, Rev. Mr. Scoltock, Rev. Mr. Wayte, Rev. Mr. Moberloy, Rev. Mr. Hackman, &c. The Rev. the VICE-CHANCELLOR having briefly stated the object of the assembling of Convocation, The Registrar of the University (Dr. Buss) read the statutes referring to the election, together with the Bri bery Act. The Senior Proctor (the Rev. W. C. LAKE, of Rallied College) hero rose and asked permission of the Vice- Claance:tor to address the house upon the subject of the election. The Rev. the VICE-CHANCELLOR said he would not refuse the request of the Rev. Gentleman, though at that particular moment there was no question formally before the house. The SENIOR PROCTOR then proceeded to address the assembly in a Latin oration, of which the purport was as follows:—He raid that as it appeared the election of the Earl of Derby as Chancellor of the University was to be unopposed, he could have wished that he might be spaced the necessity of saying anything which was cal culated to interrupt what seemed to be the unanimity of tho Convocation. He foresaw, however, that if the business of the day were transacted in perfect silence, a very &Ilse impression might be created with respect to the feeling with which the University regarded the event.—(Cheers.) Partly, ho believed, on account of the loeg vacation, and partly, he must also say, by the fault of the University itself, no opportunity had been given in the present instance for deliberation upon one of the most important subjects which it was possible to submit to the University.—(Partial cheers.) He had deemed it, therefore, not to be inconsistent with his duty, as Proctor of that University, and on behalf of many resident, as well as of many more who were not yet resident, to express to Convocation that which he was convinced was a wide-spread and very prevalent feeling. Let it not be supposed for a moment that he had any intention of uttering a single word that was hostile to the distinguished nobleman who was to be nominated their Chancellor that day. The Earl of Derby had said and done things which he (the Senior Proctor) certainly did not much complain of; but he must say that he was totally at a loss to conceive how such, speeches and acts of the Noble Earl could have recom mended him to their suffrages (turning to the doctors and masters). He confessed for himself that he greatly wondered at if, and he thought that hereafter they them selves would be equally surprised. Though he (the Senior Proctor) did not appear before them as one of the supporters of the Earl of Derby, yet he most willingly recognised and acknowledged his high accomplishments, his distinguished character, his vigorous intellect, his great ability, his almost hereditary fame; and if the Noble Earl had ever shown any interest in their academic affairs, he (the Senior Proctor) had no doubt that he would have been as able to assist them with his counsels as he might be to defend them by his eloquence. But the circumstance which he especially regretted was the great rapidity with which they had proceeded to this election. The transaction of a matter of such vast im portance at a period when the University was almost deserted, and the absence of all consultation upon so grave a subject on the part of those who were the most deeply concerned in maintaining the character and the credit of the University. He was peeectly ready to allow that the expedition which had been used was the result of a wish to save the University from incon venience • still, ho could not admit that this design, how ever wed intentioned, had been marked by the prudence with which all their affairs ought to be conducted; and he thought it would be well to consider whether they were not now establishing a precedent which might hereafter be applied to promoting objects of party in trigue, rather than in conformity with the feelings which be thoroughly believed to have influenced the Vice- Chancellor. Believing, then, that it was of the highest mo ment to the interests of the University that its business should be conducted with the gravest deliberation and the amplest discussion, he had telt himself imperatively called upon, thus publicly and in his official capacity, to deplore the circumstance that on this important occa sion—ho granted with no evil intention, nevertheless by a great imprudence—a full, free, and fair opportunity bad not been given to the whole University for express ing its deliberate and matured opinion.—(Applause.) The VicE-CHANCELLOR'S reply, also in Latin, was to this effect:—He said the Senior Proctor had expostulated with him upon the haste with which the University had proceeded to the election. He could assure the assembly, however, that everything which had been done was in strict conformity with statute and with usage.—(Ap plause.) In the course of the last 80 years there had been two instances in which vacancies in the Chancellor ship of the University had been filled up during the long vacation. In one of these cases the Chancellor died in the month of September, and the election of his succes sor took place on the 3d of the following mouth of Oc tober. In the other, the Chancellor died in the month of August, and his successor was appointed in September. He hoped, therefore, that ho had vindicated himself to the University for having, uninfluenced by party consi derations or private views, done what he thought best for the University and most in conformity with custom. The election was then proceeded with in the usual manner. No formal nomination was made; but a few members of Convocation recorded their votes for the Earl of Derby, who, after proclamation by the esquire beadel (Mr.V. Cox), was declared by the Rev. the Vice- Chancellor to be unanimously elected. Subsequently the voting-papers were collected, and, according to im memorial custom at all University elections, placed in a brazier and consumed by fire. With this ceremony, amusing to all but the sedate gentlemen who superin tended its performance, the business of the election ter minated. The Earl of Derby was not present. The following notice has just been issued : " A Convocation will be holden on Wednesday next, the 13th inst., at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of affixing the University seal to the instrument of election of Right Hon. the Earl of Derby as Ch a ncellor of the Uni the - versity.

THE GREAT STRAND ROBBERY. —Yesterday broadsides were issued from the City and Metropolitan Police Stations, offering 2501. reward for the apprehension and conviction of the parties concerned in the robbery of Mr. Jones's premises in the Strand, on Saturday morning last. No clue to the stolen property had up to yesterday morning been obtained. THR COURT OF BANKRUPTCY AND THE BAR. — Mr. E;tig ' the barrister who a few weeks ago applied to the judge of the Exeter County Court for the bar to be 1 allowed the privilege of the exclusive hearing of insolvency cases, made a similar application to the Commissioner of Bankruptcy last week. This application was also refused. BANKING INSTITUTE. A meeting of members of the association was held yesterday evening at their rooms, 63, Threadneedle street, for the purpose of hearing a paper read by Mr. Francis, of the Bank of England, on " The advan tages of Commercial Crises." The chair was taken by Mr. Alderman Challis, M.P., who opened the pro ceedings with a few preliminary observations, after which Mr. FRANCIS proceeded to say that his object was as much to raise a question as to offer an opinion. When speaking of a commercial crisis he did not mean merely one of those panics which frequently occurred, but, taking a broader view, included in his considera tion the long previous period of prosperity of which the panic was the climax. The word " panic" had been a word fraught with superstitious terrors to the commercial world, but looking at it as only the termination of a long period of previous excitement, he would venture to suggest that it should not be looked on as an unmixed evil, but as a fact, which although often sad in its immediate consequences, often produced great good in its ulterior results. But whether for good or evil, panics were now fairly naturalised among us, the last being that of 1847; and the worst might be said of them in the words of Shakspere—" There is a soul of goodness in things evil." Of the good it might be said, that public companies were the offspring of such excite ments ; but although Mr. Gilbart bad called this the age of public companies, be would venture to remark that there were public companies in this country so far back as the year 1294, one of which farmed the Customs at 201. a day, or something more than 6,000/. a year, the same being now worth 21 mil lions.—(Hear, hear.) Periods of excitement had given us the Knish), Turkey, and Hudson's Bay Com panies, and to a similar cause we owed most of our banking, water, and railway companies. In the excite ment of 1694, the great bank to which he had the onour to belong - was established, and the princi ples of banks of credit were ventilated. In 1720, another excitement sent forth some new principles, and of all the companies then started, not more than ten per cent. could be called bubbles, although some of the schemes might be called Utopian. Oae was for naturalising silkworms, for which purpose a planta tion of mulberry trees was laid out at Chelsea; another proposed a hospital for bastard children ; and a third undertook to import asses from Spain, to improve the breed of British mules.—(Laughter.) But, on the other hand, the guarantee principle was then mooted, the project for improving children's fortunes, and that of mutual marine insurance, which was now likely to be carried out. Life and fire assurance companies were also started, and although scouted and lampooned at the time, were now ascertained to be true in prin ciple. Thirty per cent. of our charities emanated from those periods; amongst other instances of which he might mention the munificent foundation of Guy's Hospital, which now enjoyed an income of 25,000/. a year. One proposal was to extract silver from lead, and it was thought so ridiculous as to be lampooned by Swift ; but the process was now known to be perfectly feasible, and to have been carried on extensively in ancient times. Amongst the curiosi ties of the time he might mention a company for the insurance of female chastity, one from making deal boards from sawdust, and one for a general fishery for gudgeon.—(Laughter.) But then the germs of free trade were planted during the mania, which was only a sort of convulsive leap to the greatness we had since reached. The next crisis was in 1793, which resulted in 500 bankruptcies, and the failure of up wards of 100 country banks. But then it gave us the first step towards the formation of our magnificent decks and bridges—of one of which (Waterloo) Ca nova said it was worth while coming all the way from Rome to see it. That year gave us Waterloo, Southwark, and Vauxhall bridges. The crisis of 1825 was heralded by symptoms of pros perity in every branch of trade and com merc l e. Up to that remarkable period, the principle of puoi rem companies bad been slowly but surely a progressing, rkable srate as- may be collected from a somew hat state ment of :_ those associations which were formed prior to i 8 EVENING, OCTOBER l3, 18452., NAVAL IN TELLIGEN CE. DEVONPORT, TUESDAY.—His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, Captain Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.B Captain the Hon. A. Duncombe, Captain the Hon. F. Pelham, with Mr. Stafford, Chief Secretary to the Admiralty, together with Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, and Colonel Green, Director-General of Works, arrived at Moorshead's Royal Hotel, by the express train from London, yes• terday afternoon. In the evening Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney, K.C.8., commander-in-chief, and Commodore Sey mour, superintendent of the dockyard, with their flag-lieutenants, had the honour of dining with their Lordships at the hotel. Their Lordships gave interviews to the officials and a number of naval officers at the hotel, this morning, and then proceeded to the dockyard, where, after in specting the several departments, they held a general muster of the establishment. If time will permit, their Lordships will, on leav ing the dockyard, visit the new works at Keyham and the Royal William Victualling-yard. In the evening they entertain the heads of the public departments and a party of friends, after which the First and other Lords patronise the ball in aid of the funds of the Royal British Female Orphan Asylum. To-m - orrow the First Lora holds his levee in the dock-yard, dining with the port admiral in the even ing. _ . . . The Admiralty are expected to pay an official visit to Portsmouth on Friday next. DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL PRAED. Vice Admiral Bulkeley Mackworth Praed died on the 6th instant, at Acton Castle, Cornwall, at the ad vanced age of 82 years. Although this gallant officer had served 23 years on full pay, he bad never served at sea since the date of his post rank. He was con seqnently, in 1837, placed on the retired list of flag officers, was transferred to the active list in 1840, promoted to the rank of vice-admiral in 1846, and placed on the reserved half-pay list last year. " The gallant deceased was related to the Praede, of the firm of Praeds and Co., bankers, of Fleet-street, London, and a protege of the late Earl St. Vincent. Ho entered the navy Sept. 21, 1780, as first-class volunteer on board the Canada, 74, Captain Sir George Collier, stationed in the Channel, where he continued employed in the , Nonsuch, Captain Truscott, until 1782. He served next, from 1786, until promoted to the rank of lieutenant, Sept, 1, 1793, nearly the whole time as mid shipman, in the Jupiter, Sybil, Soleray, Culloden, 74, and London, Romney, and Princess Royal, flag-ships of Rear-Admiral Goodall, in the West Indies, Channel, and Mediterranean. During the occupation of Toulon we find him officiating as aide-de-camp to the officer last mentioned, as well as to Lord Hood. He was subse quently employed on the home station in La Perle fri gate and Atlas, 98, in command of the Crash gun-brig, and in the Overyssel, 64, flag-ship of Admiral Peyton. In the Crash, Mr. Praed accompanied the expedition under Sir Home Popham, against the locks and sluice gates of the Bruges Canal in May, 1798, and was cap tured by the enemy on the coast of Holland August 26 following. He was made commander, August 21, 1799, into the Firm sloop, and after having served for t wo years and eight months in that vessel on the English coast, was advanced, April 29, 1802, to post rank. His last appointment was July 4, 1803, to the Durham dis trict of Sea Fenciblos, in which he continued until the abolition of that service in 1810." Having been on the reserved half-pay list, there are no promotions consequent on his decease. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant—Alexander F. 0. Young (1852), to the Termagant, 34, screw-ship, vice Moreton, whose appointment has been cancelled. Mates—Charles A. J. Heysham, to the Agamem non, 90, screw-ship, Sheerness ; A. G. Broadhead, to the Niger, 14, screw-sloop; Frederick Hardy, to the Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Woolwich. Assistant-Surgeon—Seaton Wade (1846), to the Fisgard, flag-ship, at Woolwich, for service in the infirmary. STEWARDS' FEES. The following Admiralty circular has lately been issued : " My Lords are pleased to establish the following scale of fees for the stewards of the military messes of officers, when embarked in troop-ships for passages to or from foreign stations; these fees are to be paid by each officer of the mess on the completion of the voyage, and the commanding officer of the ship is to cause such sums to be paid to the stewards at once, instead of being paid to the paymaster: — To or from the Cape of Good Hope, and other more distant stations ..• ... £1 0 0 To or from Malta—West Indies, North America ..• 0 15 0 To or from. Gibraltar (or shorter voyage) 010 0 West Indies to North America 0 15 0 Intermediate passages in the West Indies, if not beyond three days' duration... ... 0 5 0 " The amount received from military officers on ac count of breakage of glass, crockery, &c., is to be paid into the hands of the paymaster, or the clerk in charge (as the case may be), and he is to debit himself there with in his cash account." PRIZE MONEY FOR THE GLADIATOR AND JACKAL. —Woodhead and Co. have given notice that the ac count sales of the proceeds arising from the capture of the slave-vessel Gira Sol, by the Jackal, tender to her Majesty's ship Gladiator, Captain John Adams, on the 4th of September, 1850, will be registered in the High Court of Admiralty on or after the 18th instant. We understand that Mr. Sugden, the paymaster of the Prince Regent, flag-ship to Rear-Admiral Corry, is about to apply to be placed on the retired list. We believe ill health is the cause of this officer's wishing to decline this lucrative appointment. THE SCREW THREE-DECKER DUKE OF WEL LINGTON.—This huge leviathan of the ocean was towed into Portsmouth yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, by the Inflexible, 6, steam-sloop, and Echo, tug, one on each side. The platform battery and lines of the fortifications fronting the entrance were literally covered with persons anxious to get a sight of this colossal specimen of naval architecture. She came in slowly and majestically. She appears to be a very handsome ship. Her change of name will re quire a new figure-head, which we hear will be a bust of " the Duke." She went alongside the dockyard jetty, under the shears, and in the afternoon Mr. Brown, master-at tendant, who has had charge of the ship in her pas sage round (Mr. Davy being sick), commenced dis mantling her, unbending sails, and returning stores. Numbers of naval men and others visited the Duke of Wellington in the afternoon, and all ex pressed astonishment at the room and capa bilities of this magnificent man-of-war. She left Pembroke at one P.M. on Saturday, in tow of the two steamers, the Desperate and Inflexible. Fine breezes springing up, the Desperate cast off, and the Inflexible only continued to tow her. Sail was made to courses, topsails, and topgallant sails, the ship proving very stiff, and steering like a duck. Instead of tillers she has a yoke on the middle and lower deck, by either of these she is steered, These yokes are fitted on account of the well made for the shipping or unshipping of her screw-fan. She has more spring forward than most line-of battle ships ; her quarters are especially roomy ; and on her lower, middle, and upper decks she has 19 broadside guns on each, exclusive of bow and stern chase guns. The Neptune, 120, has long been con sidered the finest line-of-battle ship in the service; but the Duke throws her entirely in the shade. The Neptune is 2,700 tons burden o.M.—the Duke up wards of 3,700. Her jury spars will be taken out to-day, when the Duke will be forthwith taken into dock to be coppered. As far as the officers in charge could judge, she will sail remarkably well, and, as we have before observed, stand up well under canvas, as in a stiff breeze, on a wind, on Sunday, she had all plain sail set. The masts that have been prepared for the Royal Frederick will be probably put into her, but new lower yards, three feet longer than-any ever yet made, have been got ready for her. Daring, 12, Commander Gerard Napier, is ordered to proceed without delay to the West Indies. She will probably leave Portsmouth in the course of to-day or to-morrow. Desperate screw steam-sloop, Lieutenant Stevens in charge, will return to Plymouth from Portsmouth on Wednesday, taking supernumeraries for Queens town from the Rodney, 92, and the Indefatigable, 50. Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain O'Cal laghan, was taken out of dock, and the Bulldog has been taken in. Inflexible, 6, steam-sloop, Commander George R. Wolrige, will proceed immediately to Lisbon. Leopard, 12, advanced steamer, was swungd yeds-. terday at Portsmouth to have her compasses Electra, 14, Commander William e_ M f rris or AUStralia, be ready to sail from Portsmouth t be stir about the end of the week.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The hired convict-ship Oriental Queen, having yesterday embarked seventy two convicts from the New Prison in this borough, for transportation, dropped down to Cowes this morning to embark incorrigibles from Parkhurst, for the same destination, which is reported to be Aus tralia. SHEERNESS, OCT. 12.—Her Majesty's paddle wheel steam-vessel Tartarus, Lieutenant-Command ing Richard H. Risk, employed during the past summer on the coast of Scotland for the protection of the fisheries, arrived yesterday at ten A.M. last from Leith. On her voyage to Heligoland, n fortnight since, she experienced very tempestuous weather. During the violent gales of the 28th and :Nth ult. she received considerable injury in her topsides and paddle bozes, the greater portion of the port paddle-box being washed away. Her qualities as a sea boat ale spoken of most favourably by her commander. The Tartarus passed a barque with loss of tore mast, a considerable quantity of wreckage, and a large ship's rudder. Her defects are to be made good forth with. _ _ Her Majesty's sh;p Aigle, 26, passed down the Medway yesterday morning, at 8 A.M., in tow of the Adder and African steamers, en route to Woolwich, where she is to be stationed as a depot for coal for the use of her Majesty's vessels. The Aigle when launched, 50 years since, was a 46-gun frigate, of 990 tons,_ and was subsequently raised to a corvette. Her Majesty's screw line-of-battle ship Aga mfm _ non, 90, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, will be taken into dock to-day to have her copper examined. The caisson at the stern of the middle dock was removed yesterday. On the Agamemnon being placed in the dock, the gates thereof, owing to her great length, will be left open, extra blocks will be laid in the space between the gates and the caisson sunk in its groove, by which the dimensions of the dock length ways will be considerably increased. The Goodwill fighter, Partrick master, has arrived from Pembroke, laden with stores for the dockyard. She is ordered to return with iron ballast, 1,000 tons of which are required at that port for the public services. The barque Honduras, Palo master, from Sierra Leone, laden with African teak, for the use of the dockyard, will be taken into the discharging basin to day to deliver her ow-go. NORTH AMERICA. Buzzard, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Dobie, left Quebec, Sept. 23, to join the squadron in the Gulf. Alarm, 26, Captain Ramsay, and Sappho, 12, Commander Hon. A. Cochrane, left Halifax, Sept. 26, for England, to be paid off. THE YEENCH NAVY. Rear-Admiral Berard died at Toulon, on the lib, in his .56th year, after a long illness. Orders have been given for the Gomer steamer, and the Heron and the Narval, to leave Toulon for the Levant. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—There is a limit to the powers, and even to the ambition of man, which generally confines his atten tion to One thing at once, so that whatever minor effairs, whatever distractions, or recreations, or subsidiary em ployment may occupy him for a while, he cannot be really, to use an intelligible figure, hunting two foxes at once. Now there are two great objects which may very naturally engage the attention of a man who, like Louis Napoleon, finds himself in possession of all but absolute power in a great and warlike nation. He may wish to make that power quite absolute, hereditary, dignified with sacred sanctions and high-sounding titles—in fact, an empire; or he may surrender himself to the military genius of his nation, and seek to extend its boundaries, to repair its reverses, or to acquire for it international supremacy. These are wholly distinct objects, and no man of the smallest discretion who had not tho roughly mastered one would put his hand to the other, unless, indeed, as was the case at the begin ning of this century, conquest should happen to be the only way to empire. The President's reply to the President of the Chamber of Commerce at Bor deaux admits of the simplest interpretation, and way be almost consid e r e d s i ncere . Optat quietem Tan talus. No man has so good reason to wish for peace at this moment as Louis Napoleon. Peace brings him an easy triumph through the provinces which ho has long claimed and never yet seen. He appears every where as the author of peace. That is the only victory which can by any possible flattery be ascribed to him. War would ho a cloud on the fairest day that ever rose on the dreams of selfishness. War would bring trouble, reverses, expense, rivals, and risks of all kinds. But, above all, " one thing at once." Bo Emperor first, and conqueror in due time. Empire is actually offering itself. It is possible that Louis XIV. and Napoleon liked war for its own sake, and were ready to risk their thrones for conquest and glory. There are men, too, who like fighting as others like hunting, shooting, fish ing, and decoying. Bat Louis Napoleon's taste and faculties are alike or the average order. lie is seeking empire, and apparently will grasp the glittering bauble in a very few days. Bat " there is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," and ho dues not want war. In this sense there can be no doubt that the empire is peace. It is peace so long as it can only be obtained by peace, and so long as the only motive for vesting empire in the man who asks for it is the memory end the suffering of civil disorders. France has just passed through, if indeed it has passed through, a terrible crisis. Various " families of Ideologists," demo cratic, socialist, legitimist, and imperial, have struggled for the mastery, and, as usually happens in an old nation, the imperial has hitherto carried the day. Soon or late the army con quers a street mob, and an emperor, the creation of an army, reaps the harvest of a revolution. We know this in England, and the great reason why Englishmen won't have a democracy is, that beyond that democracy they see a certain vision of cold-blooded despotism. The Parisian mob is not so prudent; and they have brought about a state of things so intolerably bad, that France accepts a despotism as the lesser evil of the two. In this conflict of " ideas" the Napoleonic have triumphed, for the simple reason indicated by Louis Napoleon him self, that they aro less of " ideas," and more an affair of physical force, than the rival ideas. In a street row the frightened do not run to a street orator for pro tection, or even to an archbishop, but to a policeman; if the row becomes worse, they leave him for a soldier; and so on till they find themselves behind camps and fortifications. This is not a matter of moral prefe rence or deliberate choice, but of immediate necessity, just as a man who is pursued by a bear will throw himself into the sea, or, if his house is on fire, will leap out of the window. France has jumped into Louis Napoleon, and both are making the best of it; indeed, they are quite right to do so. The act might not be very glorious, and the refuge might not be much more honourable than the meanest recesses to which the pursued have sometimes betaken themselves; but the only rule of these questions is necessity. Necessity understands the proportion of the means to the end far better than philosophy. In the fable the fox had a thousand means of escape, and was afraid of no hounds. The cat, on the contrary, confessed its terrors, for it had only one resource. The hounds came; the cat ran up a tree, and the fox, after much turning and winding, was run into and killed. French philosophy is the fox that exhibited so much superfluous and unprofitable wisdom. The common sense of the French nation at large is the cat that found a hole, no matter where, but it answered the purpose. Louis Napoleon, however, has no sooner heralded his triumph and his title to empire, than he distrusts his own " peace." The idea must be sus tained. Brilliant as was the achievement o f th e 2d o f December, it, was hardly sufficient for the founda tion of an eternal dynasty. A thousand years hence Napoleon the Hundredth will hardly rest the claims of his dynasty on the massacre of the Boule vards in 1851, or even the provincial tour of 1852. Long ere that day comes something else will be required to sustain the flagging loyalty of the people, now so anxious to escape from the stigma and perils of citizenship. That something cannot be supplied by public buildings, by lengthening tine streets, by rebuilding cathedrals, by enlarging the circle of fortified towns, or by scraping the outside and painting the inside of the Tuileries. Architecture, upholstery, and the stage management of as Imperial progress through well-prepared cities, can only satisfy ono phase of the national mind, and that phase is but a short one. Louis admits the difficulty, and glances at the conquests still in store for him, when he has effected a safe return to the capital and tri umphed over the scruples of the Senate. He will still have to conciliate factions, and to throw into the great current of public opinion the eddies and back currents that now diminish and impede it.

POST.—Among Englishmen of sufficient education to read a newspaper, and of common sense enough to put a plain meaning on simple facts, there has long been but one opinioe as to the dishonest and distoyal course of the Romish priesthood in their late, and still-continued, attempts to increase their own power in this country_. by bitter hostility to the Established Church, by defi auce or evasion of the law, and by strenuous opposition to all progress in enlightened opinion and true know ledge. In Irelend especially, where Rome had the strongest material at hand, and the readiest tools to work with, the dullest power of eight, and the laziest habits of inference, must have had forced on them both the ob jects and the intentions of that desperate and unscrupulous body which is, unhappily, so largely represented in the present Parliament. Tho asso ciation, the professions, the appeals and the threats of the friends of religious equality, as it is interpreted by Rome and understood in Ireland, were hardly needed to show that the great Parliamentary effort of the day was to be the robbery of the Established Church, and that - no pains would be spared to organize the burglary, and to secure efficient accomplices. The speech of Mr. Bright at Belfast, which wo lately noticed, is only one of the signs of the utter want of conscience or decent consistency by which the two chief enemies of our Church aro char,:eterised. If Mr. Bright, and' those who think with him," know anything at all, they know that the power of the Churclaot ltome cannot be put forward one hair's breadth without forcing backward, in a tenfold degree, all that the Progress Party—the self-styled Liberals—pretend such anxiety to advance. If they can see anything at all, they must see that the mail/ tenance of priestly influence involves the extinction of that free suffrage of the people—that legitimate and open system of re presentation which they profess to long for with such eagerness. Dr. need hardly fear Mr. Grote. The cunningest perfection of the ballot box would be but a flimsy screen bet ween the votes of the people and those keen eyes and bitter tongues which watch and drive into the chosen path the harassed flock of Papacy. All this, and more, the so-called liberal enemies of the Church of England know right well. Bet they well know also that, without the Irish vote to swell their numbers, they cannot show, on any one ques tion that can be raised, any but the weakest and most meagre front in the new House of Commons. Therefore, if the Member for Manchester is to be accepted as the mouthpiece of the party for which he speaks, they aro now driven, by their desperate condition, to confess their readiness to sell, for the practical substantial price of a few votes, all their fine-sounding professed principles of progress in education. advance ment in constitutional liberty, true freedom in religious opinion. Against all these things, in Ireland, and wherever its foot is set, the Papacy has sworn with its whole faith, and will contend with its full strength. It is easy, and may not be un profitable, to take by this standard the measure of the honesty of Liberal professions, and of the uprightness of Radical practice. If any one be found hardy enough to deny how completely the religious equality of Romish priests and Irish members is in reality iden tified with religious tyranny, we would recommend to his notice a singular correspondence which will be found in another part of our paper, between Sir Culling Eard ley Eardley and Mr. Lucas, the member whom the priesthood, assembled in council, commanded the people of Meath to return as their representative. We do not propose to discuss here the system and the laws of the wretched Government under which the Madiais have been cruelly sentenced ; neither shall we examine the propriety and advantage of such remonstrances with Fo reign Powers, on their internal arrangements and judi cial practice, es are projected by the body on whose part Sir Culling Eardley has very fairly and logically invited the co-operation of Mr. Lucas, as the foreman and agent of the friends of religious equality. The act from which these poor people are suffering is that of the Church which is supreme over Tuscan imbecility, and whose supre macy, wherever it may be established, involves the same degree of bigotry and oppression. Where that most imperious and tyrannical of institutions has suc ceeded in shaping the judicial power to its bad ends, we see how it deals with religious equality. It treats the open profession of tenets differing from its own with the strong and effective argument of denunciation as a crime against the State, and stops the free progress of adverse opinions by the short way of the prison or the galleys. With us it happens that this cannot be done. But let it not be forgotten that, whatever the Romish Church can do to punish and torture all who would struggle out of its fetters, it does as firmly and unscru pulously in Ireland as in Italy. It cannot obtain sentence of imprisonment by law against those whom it hates, for hearing and preaching what they firmly and conscientiously believe; but it can and does pro nounce its own heavy sentence against them, not only fur religious but for political disobedience. By the power which ignorance gives to the servants of Rome, that Church can and dots condemn its victims in Ireland to moral tortures as heavy as man can bear. The worst dungeon that can be the lot of the Madiais is often, we fear, surpassed in protracted misery and horror by the atmosphere of persecution with which a poor wretch is surrounded, whose rashness in thinking and acting for himself may have drawn down on him the wrath of a Romish priest, thundered from the altar of an Irish chapel. This Church, which so sternly and fiercely punishes all attempts at proselytising within the sphere of its own dominion, is, be it remembered, the most uncom promising, the most unwearied, the boldest, as well as the most insidious of encroaching foes wherever the dominion is with of hers, and its object is to proselytise for itself. In this kingdom, where Roman Catholicism is, thank heaven, sn greatly in the minority, we know and see daily how strenuously its ministers and emispa ries pursue the work which, where the Church has the power, it visits with such cruel penalties—the extreme of judicial persecution, where the Government and the law are its slaves—the full weight of moral vengeance, where a carefully maintained ignorance perpetuates the servitude, and ensures the obedi ence of a_ wretched , people. It is by this priesthood that the Member for Meath, and those who a ct with. him, have been aul returned t a o tthey Parliament, call reli giousto no minated.

Let them by all means combine with the Manchester school. Let that body incur the last disgrace of uniting their fervour for liberty of every kind with the friends and : servants of the bitterest and most absolute tyranny that ever enslaved men's minds. Let this happy combina tion raise the cry of religious equality, and attempt, in concert, the robbery of our Church; and, unless com mon sense and common justice have died away in Eng land, we look to their bringing on themselves tho most signal exposure and utter disgrace that have ever been h justly inflicted on a wicked and impudent shealbiTtioe day has long been gone by for the successfulo a - rain Ireland, t : of the rapacity and bigotry I under the guise of oppressed an o d f the true objects and I time is fast approaching suffering and the whomwill equally ap t principles of the ManchesterwshFelool oar.
