A meeting of members of the association was held yesterday evening at their rooms, 6.3, 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 superstiti o us 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 u nm i x ed ev il, but as a fact, which although often s ad 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. Gilbert had called this the age of public companies, he 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 6,0001. a year, the came being now worth 21 mil lions.—(Hear, hear.) P er i o d s o f excitement had given us the Russia, Turkey, and Iludaea'a 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 honour 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. One 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 ; a nd 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 an d lamp ooned at the time, were now ascertained to be true in prin ciple. Thirty per cent. of our charities emanated from those periods; amongst other instan ces of which he might mention the munificent foundation of Guy's Hospital, which now enjoyed an income of 25,0001. 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 ca rried . on extensively in ancient times. Amongst th e curiosi ties of the time he might mention a company for the insurance of female chastity, one from makin g deal beards from sawdust, and one for a general fishery for gudgeon.—(Lau g hter.) But then the germs of free trade were planted during the mania, which was only a sort of convulsive leap to the greatness we h . ad since reached. The next crisis was in 1793, which resulted in 500 bankruptcies, and the fail u . re of up wards of 100 country banks. But then it gave us the first step towards the formation of our magnificent docks 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. Ihe crisis of 1825 was heralded by symptoms of pros perity in every branch of trade . commerce . . Up to that remarkable period , the principle ofpublic companies bad been slowly but sure l y progressing, as may be collected from a somewhat remarkable state ment of those associations which were formed prior to 824 : Capital. Capital. 63 canals £12,202,000 4 bridges £2,452,000 7 docks 25 insurance 20,488,000 7 roads 16 watercomp. 2,973,000 ( 7 various 1,530,000 Of the canals, the Trent and Mersey paid a divi dend of 75 per cent. per annum ; the Coventry-canal paid 44 ; the Stafford and Worcester, 40 ; the Mersey and Irwell, 35 per cent. ; the Oxford, 32 ; the Forth and Clyde, 25. 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 8*; the London, 4f ; 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 spread 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 way, and system o f ov ertrading brought suddenly about by the potato bli g ht. W e were now entering on a period of excitement which was producing various projects ; amongstw others a new Crystal Palace, with its rail y ' nd - company Fromfor the all complete development and the electric rememb • ering Lord Bacon's aphorism that " Money' like muck, must be spread out to do good," he inferred that commercial c • rises were seldom an unmixed evil, but generally resulted in much ulterior good. A short conversation followed arising out of the various points touched up on in the paper, after which thanks were voted to M r. Francis and the chairman, and the meeting separated. The newly- erected church at T un b r id ge, d e di cate d to St • Stephen, will be consecrated the week after next, by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatches : " Augouleme, Oct. 10, Quarter to Twelve at Night. " After a dinnor offered to the principal functionaries and personages of the department, the Prince proceeded to the hall, through the midst of an immense and en thusiastic population, who had been waiting for him from four o'clock. The cries of ' Vive l'Empereur!' which had saluted him along his passage, were redoubled tit his entrance into the ball-room, where upwards of 3 . ,000 guests were assem bl e d. Si m il ar acc l am ations 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 Vive l'Empereur!' Vivo Napoleon MA' Ilia Highness leaves iu the morning for itoche tort." " Oct. 11, Nine at night. " liis 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 iiechiciations. At, Liiersac, two triumphal arches were erected by the inhabitants, who bore on their hats, i n large letters, the words 'Vivo l'Easpereut! At Jarnac, the crowds of the population were still more numerou s and enthusiastic. In ti ne, at Co g nac, th e Prince was re ceived at the entrance in t o the tow n by the Mayo r an d municipal body, under a fine triumphal arch, bearin; the Vive lEmpereur \rive Napoleon inscription ' It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the populations, every face being ra dian t wi th j o y The passage of th e Prince through the Charente was a triumphal mareh,which will leave in the hearts of all an ineffaceable impression. An noon his Highness quitted the department to enter th e Charente-Infi:ieure. The health of the Prince is excellent." The speech delivered by the PRINCE PRESIDENT at to the toast pr o p ose d b y M. Bordeaux in responding DUFOUR DUBERYER, 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 magullic,nt hospitality, and I am happy at the end of my journey to communicate the impressions I have re ceived. "The object of my tour, as you are well aware, was to make myself acquainted, 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. "I may say, indeed, with a candour as far removed from pride as from false modesty, i, more unanimously, that never did a people More directly, more bp testify a determination ntolitfarilee"i l u itself from all uneasiness respecting the future by placing n the same hands as h eretofore a power which sympathizes with its feel ings. —(Applause.) '' The people has now at last learned to value at their price the fals e hopes with which it has been cajoled, and the dangers with which it was threatened. It seems, L then, th a t in 1852 soc i e ty approached its dissolution, ee eause each party consoled itself with the belief that amid the genera.' wreck it might still plant its standard the floating fragments. ° (Sensation, and cries of t 1 'Five l'Enapereur !') th " Now that its eyes are opened to absurd theorie s , e People has acquired the conviction that those pre tended reformers were mere visionaries , inasmuch as There has always been a disproportion and a want of Co nsequence between their expedients and the promised 4 ‘ l - 11 ;•—(Loud applause, and cries of True, true!')

SlR,—Like unto Monday's races, Ley opinion was verified in nearly every instance, as I placed the first and second for the Royal Stakes, the first, second, and third for the Clearweil, and gave We?-thergage and Lady Evelyn as likely occupants of the secon d and third p oei tions in the Cesarewitch. The horse that I most relied on to pull me through, Le Juif, after a deal of manceav 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 ray 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. Glenlace was a fair 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 F:lbert; who, iii 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 5,000 L, 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 Ninnyhammer, 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 be 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 Bretby Stakes, last three-quarters of the Rowley mile, will have the filly by Alarm, out of Rosalind, Miss Tennyson, filly by Lanercost, out of Paleine, Dove, or Phrygia (perhaps both), Glenavon, and, 'tis said, Syl phine. Not imagining that Sylphine can be in anything like respectable form as yet, after the blistering and other treatment she received some three or four wetl;s ago, I must 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 for the Prendergast, must be enrolled the name of Sit tingbourne, who is now quite as good a favourite as Cheddar. The result of the Cesarewitch has had its effect upon the London list houses, the &battings 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 enemies, 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. 11--'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. Thu betting cilia 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, &c., Oct. 13. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY. ELECTION OF THE EARL OF DERBY AS CHANCELLOR. OXFORD, lUESDA.Y.—A. Convocation was hell here this day at noon for the purpose of electing a Chancel lor of the University, in the room of his Grace tlle 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 full attendance of the members of the University, with here cud there a sprinkling of ladies. Amongst the gentlemen we observed, besides the Rev. the Vice• Cha ncellor, the Dean of Christ Church, the Master of Banjo' College, the Provost of Oriel, the Principal of Brase nose Coliege, the President of Trinity College, the War den of Merton College, the Principal of Jesus College, the President cf Corpus Christi College, the Warden of Wadham College, the Princip a l o f St'. Alban Hall, the Principal of Magdalen Ell!, the President of St. John's College, the Warden of Alt Souls College, the Principal of Sc. Edmund Hall, the Hector of Lincoln College, the Principal of St. Mary Hall, the Provost of IVorcester College, Archdeacon Clarke, Dr. Asaurst, Rev. Bell, canon of Christ Church; Rev. Mr. Michell, Rev. Dr. Bandinel, Rev. Mr. Cornish, Rev. Mr. Gardell, Rev. • Mr. Marriott, Rev. C. P. Golightly, Rev. S. Reay,Re.v. Dr. V.'hor wood, Rev. Mr. Robinson, Rev. W. C. Risley, Rev. Mr. Ogle, Rev. Mr. Lye, Rev. Mr. Bowden, Rey. Mr. Maerny, Rev. P. Serle, Rev. Mr, Woolconsho, Rev. R. C. Hales, Rev. Dr. Noxhorn, Rev. Mr. Jadge, Rev, Mr. Jacob, Rev. Mr. Rigand, Rev. Mr. Hobbouse, Rev. Mr. Chaffers, Rev. Mr. Dike, Dr. Bellamy, Bev. Hake, Rev. Mr. Ludlow, Rev. Mr. Chase, Rev. H. O. Coxe, Rev. Mr. Clutternuek, Professor Hussey, Rev. Air. S , .Naboy, Rev. Mr. Haddatt, hey. Mr. ScOitud, Rev. Air. Mute, Rev. Mr. Moberley, Rev. Mr. uicktuan, &C. The Rev. the VICE-CHANCLLLOR 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 Bailiol College) hero rose and asked permission of the Vice- Chancellor 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:—Ho said 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 spared the necessity of saying anything which was cal culated to interrupt what seemed to be the unanimity of the Convocation. Ho foresaw, however, that if the business of the day were transacted in perfect silence, a very false impression might be created with respect to the feeling with which the University regarded the event.—(Cheers.) Partly, he believed, on account 0( the long 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 be was convinced was a wide-spread and very prevalent feeling. Let it not be supposed for a moment that be had any intention of uttering a sic to 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 it, 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 it the Noble Earl had ever shown any interest in their academic affairs, he (the Senior Proctor) had no d ou bt that he would have been as able to assist them with his counsels as b e m ight be to defend them by his eloque nce . 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 alm o st 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. 11t, was perfectly ready to allow that the expedition which had been used was the result of a wish to save the University from incon venience; still, he could not admit that this design, how ever well. 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 w ith the f e eli n gs which he 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 felt himself imperatively „ a il e d upon, thus publicly and in his official capacity, to deplore the circumstance that on this important occa sion—he granted with AO evil intention, nevertheless by a great imprudence—a full, free, and fair opportunity had not been given to the whole University for express ing its deliberate and matured opinion,—(Applause.) The VICE-CIIANCELLoR' 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 bad 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 has! 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. Ho 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 D er by 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, fur the purpose of affixing the University seal to the instrument of election of the Right Hon. the Earl of Derby as Chancellor of the Uni versity.

To-morrow the First Lord 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 Adteiral Bulkeley Mackworth Fraud died on the 6th instant, at Acton Castle, Cornwall, at the ad vanced age of 82 years. Although this gallant officer bad served 23 years on full pay, he bad never served at sea since the date of his post rank. He was con s€ qnently, 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 pieced on the reserved half-pay list last year. " The gallant deceased was related to the Praeds, 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. Ho 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 th e E ng li s h coast, was advanced, April 29, 1802, to post rank. His last appointment was July 4, 1803, to the Durham dis trict of Sea Fencibles, 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 troopships for passages to or from foreign stations; those 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 ... 0 0 received considerable injury in her topsides and paddle boxes, the greater portion of the port paddle-box being washed away. Her qualities as a sea boat are spoken of moat favourably by her commander. The Tartarus passed a barque with loss of fore mast, a considerable quantity of wreckage, and a large ship's rudder. Her defects are to be made good forth with. Her Majesty's ship Aigle, 26, passed down the Medway yesterday morning, at 8 A.M., in t ow o f th e Adder and African steamers, en route to W oo l w i c h , where she is to be stationed as a depot for coal for th e 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 Agamem non, 90, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, will bo 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 lett open, extra bl:,cks 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 lighter, 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 lionclurag, 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 cargo. To or from Malta—Westlndiesi, North America ... .. 0 15 0 To or from Gibraltar (or shorter voyage) 0 10 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 DUNE 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. N u mbers of naval men and others vi s it e d th e D u k e of Wellingtonin 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 thejnflexible 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 0.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 swung yes terday at Portsmouth to have her compasses adjusted. Electra, 14, Commander William Morris (b), will be ready to sail from Portsmouth for Australia, about the end of the week. We should not be sur prised if this compact, useful, little craft reached Syd ney yet before that big marine monster, the Mel bourne, which has been floundering about, during th e late gales, somewhere between the Downs and the Land's-end. Termagant, 24, screw-frigate, Captain Giffard, will have her compasses adj usted at Portsmouth to-morrow, when her officers end crew will turn over from the 50, Captain Smart, K.II , arrived on Sunday, for Lisbon and . the Me hoffuil hulk d t ue o ef: h nt e isg r t . oa bwi De: Ik a i n o . uTn, TUESDAY.—The hired convict-ship dit r er o r g a i n s e embarked seventy two convicts from the New Pri d so y n v i Oriental Queen, having yesterday in this borough, droppedgb n irnagnstpooretmatbioato Cowes this nric incorrigibles the same destination, which is es reported rom P ar to kh b u e rs A t, u fo s r . m for orn t 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 v o y age to H e li go l an d, a fortnight since, she experienced very tempestuous weather. During the violent gales of the 28th and 29th ult. she NORTH AMERICA.

Orders have been given for the Gomer steamer, and the Heron and the Narval, to leave Toulon fur 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 affairs, 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 aro 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. Ho may wish to make that power quite absolute, hereditary, dignified with sacred sanctions and high-sounding titles—in fact, an empire; or ho 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 may be almost considered sincere. °Mat guietem 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 be 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. Bur, above all, " one thing at once." Be Emperor first, and conqueror in duo 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 of the average order. He is seeking empire, and apparently wilt grasp the glittering bauble in a very few days. But " there is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," and he does 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 and 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 :evolution. 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 are 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 oat 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 of the 2d of 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 dnxious to escape from the stigma and perils of citizenship. That something cannot be supplied by public buildings, by lengthening fine 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 an Imperial progress through well-prepared cities, can only satisfy one 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 greata current of public opinion the eddies and i b He back currents that now diminish and impede t. will have to reclaim and elevate a de p resse d population. He will e e have to enter on a vast amount of material undertakings, railways, canals, roads, ports, packets, and other utilities, in which Franco has hitherto permitted herself to be beaten by this country. But there are voids that cannot be filled up by mere matter, and there aro cravings that rise about works of undoubted usefulness. An army of half-a-million of men will contain a large proportion of lofty and restless spirits whose daily study and hourly meditation is on the wars of the Republic, and the career of Napoleon and,his Marshals, all of whom were once men like them selves. Their field, their talent% their hopes are in war. The morality, the necessity, and the utility of war are to them matters of utter indifference. All that they ask is to be led against a foe. As far as they are concerned, it is the duty of the Government to designate the capital to be occupied, or the fortress to be taken, and it is their place to do it. If there is to be no fighting they are deprived of their due, and if they are not allowed an opportunity of promotion, plunder, or prize money, they are disappointed Socialists, neglected in the organization of labour. In the long list of public works enumerated by the President there is not one that would employ a musket or a sabre, unless indeed to keep the labourers at their posts, or to collect tho new taxes, this expendit ure m i g h t enta il. It ma y reasone i li ce 7 apprehended, therefore that after a few yearse sant excavation, shipbuilding, housebuildink and by the taxa tion, the half million soldiers, backed theypossibly are to do, sympathy of the people, may ask what and why work is not found for theflan opportunity, as for the rest of theta the people. True, the, but an opportunity will soon b will w e ai found in some one of those petty misunderstandings which are sure to occur every now and then between two great and jealous Powers. The ardour with which the French nation can enter into a race, whether for an Emperor or peace or war, is sin gu l ar l y exemplified a todayin the proclamation of the Republic, for Em pire by the Mayor of Sevres. In this blasphemous document Louis Napoleon receives all the wors hi p that degenerate Rome lavis hed on its Cessars, and still more , inasmuch as the titles, the attributes, and the very work of the Saviour are all infamously parodied to describe Louis Napoleons services to Fran ce , an d the obligations un der which he has laid it. No one can read this paper, the language of which is too abominable to be quoted more than once in these columns, without a painful con viction of the excesses to which passion or interest will hurry our neighbours. Whether turning, out and hunt ing down a constitutional sovereign, or cringing to an unconstitutional despot, or fighting an army in the streets, or clamouring for the conquest of a continent, or for the supremacy of an ocean, they are still the same, ever running into extremes, returning perhaps at last to their senses, but only when they have reaped the bitter fruits of their folly, and, unfortunately inflicted alt equal shure of suffering on all the rest of the world within their reach. lIERALD.—The University of Oxford yesterday did its best to supply the great vacuum caused by the death e spleen f W e Wellington. o e n. nv y T h h a a s t h s e e a e t n w e a x s p h e n i g d h e l n y icr theetc d c , n a l ia n d nan much s nf the Morning Chronicle, and other Tractarisn journals, that it should be filled by the Earl of Derby.

A foolish maundering was set up at last about an alleged precipitancy." The Vice-Chancellor showed that there had been none. The former precedents of vacancies occurring in the long vaca tion made it clear that it had been usual to fill up the chair in the following month. Four weeks elapsed between the death of the late Chancellor and the elec tion of the present ono. In what other post, in Caurch or Sate, would this be called precipitate ? But, if tho truth must be told, this complaining of the Tractarians is the sheerest hypocrisy. They have: exclaimed about the indecknt haste of Lord Derby';; friends; but they themselves were the first to commence ! They have exclaimed against the insufficiency of Lord Derby's pretensions; yet they themselves were anxious to pro pose a candidate, whew qualifications they dared not, on redaction, bring into comparison with Lord Derby's. In every possible way they have been beaten ; but, in stead of submitting with a good grace, they Ivep tip a snarling and sneering noise, up to th e very end of the chapter ! A more discreditable exhibition, on the whole, we never yet saw made by any set of men what ever. 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 lone been but one opinion as to the dishonest and disloyal 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 ance or evasion of the law, and by strenuous opposition to all progress in enlightened opinion and true know ledge. In Ireland especially, where Rome had the strongest material at hand, and the readiest tools to work with, the dullest power of sight, 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. The 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, wore hardly needed to show that the great Parliamentary effort of the day was to bo 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 we 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 are characterised. If Mr. Bright, and " those who think with him," know anything at all, they know that the power of the Church of Boma 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 maintenance 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. M`lialo need hardly fear Mr. Grote. The cunningest perfection of the ballot box would be but a flimsy screen between the votes of the people and those keen eyes and bitter tongues which watch and drive into the chosen path the harassed Sock of Papacy. All this, and more, the so-called liberal enemies of the Church of England know right well. But they well know also that, without the Irish vote to swell their numbers, they cannot show, on any one Ties- Lion that can be raised, any but the weakest and moat 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 are 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, advancement 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 tho 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 hero 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, as 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 pour people are suffering is that of the Church which is supreme over Tuscan imbecility, and whose supre macy, wherever it may he 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 caunot 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 for religious but for political disobedience. By the power which ignorance gives to the servants of Rome, that Church can and does 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 others, and its object is to proselytise for itself. In this kingdom, where Roman Catholicism is, thank heaven, so greatly in the minority, we know and see daily how strenuously its ministers and emissa 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 obedience of a wretched people. It is by this priesthood that the Memb er f or Meath, and those who act with him, have been no minated. It is as the agents of a Church existing on such practices that they are returned to Parliament, to impose recognise o them ef h aran gue, intrigue, and bully for what th e y ca ll reli gious equality.

As the lecturer had himself taken an active part in this memorable engagement, the various scenes and incidents of the day were described with a vigour and truthfuln ess f ar surpassing the cool and studied narrative of a mere historian. The lecturer gave a sketch of the field of Waterloo, showing the exact position o f the two armies at the commencement of the battle • he ex plained the mode o f a t tack, and detailed the progress' of the fight through all its eventful stages. The impetuous but in effectual charge of Cuirassiers on British squares—the attack on Hou germont—the:conflict of heavy cavalry—the taking of the farmhouse and partial success of the enemy— the death of Picton—the slaughter of the imperial guards by the British artillery, and the various events which conducted his sanguinary drama to its close, were entered upon with a spirit which could belong to none but an eye-witness of the scene. The audience, which was both numerous and respect able, testified their interest and approval of the narrative by repeated plaudits. The lecturer, Mr. Morris, is also, we un derstand, an author, and has recently published a small work, entitled " Recollections of Military Service," which abounds with stirring detail and interesting anecdote.— Min* Journal, Saturday, Oct. 9. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—A most melancholy circumstance occurred at the tollgate near Black-hill on Wednesday last. About six or seven weeks ago Mrs. Newton, who keeps the toll-gate , had her li ttle grand daughter, a child five years of age, who was playing a t h er door, bit by a hound-dog belonging to one of her neigh bours, which was in a rabid state. It was followed as far as 1 Annfield Plain by a number of men, who destroyed it, but not before it had bitten several dogs on its way. The child was bitten in the face and lip, which bled profusely. Medi ' cal aid was obtained, and the child's face healed, no un pleasant symptoms occurring until Sunday, the 26th ult., when the child complained of her head ; through the course of Monday she was thought to be a little better, but at night she grew worse, On Tuesday two medical gentlemen at tended her, and continued to do so until her death, which took place the following evening in great agony. An inquest was held on Friday last on the body by Mr. Favell, when the verdict was, "Died from hydrophobia, brought on from the bite of adog."—Netecastls Chronicle.
