We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Toe Government has received the following teie graphic dispatches : " Abgouleme, Oct. 10, Quarter to Twelve at Night. " After a dinner 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 I'Empereur!' which hod saluted him along his passage, were redoubled at his entrance into the ball-room, where upwards of 3,000 guests were as,ernble.d. Similar acclamations 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 111 !' His Highness leaves in the morning for Roche fort." •° Oct. 11, Nine at night. " His Highness left Agon!eme this morning at seven o'clock. Tao bishop and his clergy, and the principal functionaries of the department, were present at his de parture. The population saluted him with the loudest acclamations. At iiiersac, two triumphal arches were erected by the inhabitants. .who bore on their hats, in large letters, the words Vive l'Euipertur!' At Jarnac, the crowds of the population were still more numerous and enthusiastic. In tine, at Cognac, the Prince was re ceived at the entrance into the town by the Mayor and municipal body, under a fine triumphal arch, bearing the inscription Vivo l'Empereur! Vivo Napoleon III!' It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the populations, every fe.ce being radiant with joy. The passage of the Prince through the Charente was a triumphal march,which will leave in ttin hearts of all an ineffaceable impression. An noon his Highness quitted the department to enter the Charente-Inl6:ieure. The health of the Prince is excellent." The speech delivered by the PRINCE PRESIDENT at Bordeaux in responding to the toast proposed by M. Duvoua DUDERYER, 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 fur its cordial reception and its magnificent hospitality, and I am happy at the end of myjourney to communicate the impressions I have re ceived. "The object of my tour, as you are well aware, was to make myself acquainted, by persoaal 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, that never did a people more directly, more spdntaneously, more unanimously, testify a determination to free itself from all uneasiness respecting the future by placing in the same hands as heretofore a power which sympathizes with its feel inga.—(Applause.) " The people has now at last learned to value at their price the false hopes with which it has been cajoled, and the dangers with which it was threatened. It seems, then, that in 1852 society approached its dissolution, because each party consoled itself with the belief that amid the g eneral wreck it might still plant its standard en the floating fragments. (Sensation, and cries of ' Vive l'Empereur l') "Now that its eyes are opened to absurd theories, the people has acquired the conviction that those pre tended reformers were mere visionaries, inasmuch as there has always been a di3proportion and a want of consequence between their expedients and the promised result.—(Loud applause, and cries of ' True, truer) "At present, the nation surrounds me with its sym pathies because I do not belong to the family of the Ideologists. To promote the welfare of the country it is not necessary to apply new systems, but the chief point, above all, is to produce confidence in the present, and security for the future. For these reasons it seems France desires a return to the Empire. Yes, yesf prolonged applause, Viva l'Empereurr) There is one objection to which I must reply. Cer tain minds seem to entertain a dread of war; certain persons say, the empire is only war; but I say. the em pire is peace—(Sensation)—for France desires it, and, when France is satisfied, the world is tranquil. (These words, uttered in a firm voice, and with strong em phasis, produced a magical effect. Enthusiastic bravos were heard from all sides.) " Glory descends by inheritance, but not war. Did the princes, who justly felt pride that they were the grandchildren of Louis XIV., recommence his wars? " War is not made for pleasure, but through neces sity; and at this epoch of transition, where by the side of so many elements of prosperity spring so many causes of death, we may truly say—Wo be to him who gives the first signal to a collision, the consequences of which would be incalculable.—(Long and profound sensation.) " I confess, however, that, like the Emperor, I have many conquests to make. I wish, like him, to conquer, by conciliation, all hostile parties, and to brin g i nto t h e grand popular current t h ose hostile streams which now lose themselves without profit to any one.—(Applause.) " I wish to restore to religion, morality, and opulence that still numerous part of the population which, though in the bosom of the most fertile country in the world, can scarcely obtain the common necessaries of life.—(Sensation ) "We have immense waste territories to cultivate, roads to open, ports to dig, rivers to render navigable, a !system of railroads to complete; we have opposite to ..I%:!arseilles a vast ki ng d om wh i ch we must assim i late to .yranc e; we have to bring all our great western ports into connexion with the American continent by a ra pidity of communication which we still want; lastly, we have ruins to restore, false gods to overthrow, and truths to bo made triurephant.—(Prolonged applause.) " This is the sense which I attach to the empire, if the empire is to be restored.—(Cries of `Vive l'Empereur.') " Such are the conquests which I contemplate, and all You who surround me, and who, like me, desire your country's welfare—you are my soldiers I—(' Yes, yes,' prolonged applause.)" The accounts from the manufacturing districts are satisfactory, and the orders received from abroad give l ull occupation to all their operatives. The silk weavers at Lyons and St. Etienne are again fully !thployed and the demand for the raw material is as ?risk in those towns as it would appear that for cotton is at Havre.

Madrid journals of the 7th have been received. They state that great preparations were making on occasion of the expected delivery of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER. It was still reported that the Cortes would be con voked for the 19th November. On the 7th, by order of the Queen of SPAIN, the troops of the garrison of Madrid were called out to perform a funeral ceremony in honour of the Duke of WELLINGTON, as Captain-General of the Spanish army. After a discharge of cannon and musketry, the troops filed off according to the order of ceremony that bad been indicated. A mausoleum had been erected for the occasion, and a religious ceremony preceded the military manifestations. The Mint was busy coining a vast n um b er o f new half-pesetas (pieces o . f eigh . t), to replace those depre ciated in value by circulation. MADRID BOURSE, OCT. 7.—Three per Cents. 47i- ; Exchange on London, 50 30 paper. GERMANY The Hereditary Grand Duke of RUSSIA left Darm stadt on the 9th for Stutgardt. On the Bth Count MARESCALDI, the French Envoy, had an audience of t he Grand Duke, to present his credentials, and dined in the evening with his Royal Highness. The Frankfurter Journal states that the visit of the I cing of HANovER to the Court of \Vurtemberg was for the purpose of attempting to prevent a rupture between Prussia and the States of the Coalition of D armstadt, and that he has every prospect of being s uccessful. It is added that he has declared his in tention of remaining faithful to the treaty of Sep tember. , By the death of the Duke of WELLINGTON the Tchduke JOHN has become the Senior Field Marshal of the Austrian Empire. It is said that the vacant grade of Field Marshal will be given to the Arch duke ALBERT. AUSTRIA learn from Vienna that the Emperor of STRIA has fixed on General Baron H ESS and three °_ th „ e r generals; as a deputation to assist at the funeral of the Duke o f W ELLINGTON.

DENMARK. The first sitting of the two Chambers of Denmark, united for the discussion of modifications of the Con tt.itution, took place at Copenhagen on the Bth inst. CLAusuc, formerly a Member of the Cabinet, was chosen president, and M. H ANSEN, v i ce-pres id en t. O n . following day the Ministry was to make to the C umbers a communication respecting the succession ' 0 the throne. „ In co nsequence of bills of health being required in ,?,wecyn from a ll t rave ll ers from Copenhagen, the tianish steamers between the latter city and Born -014114ve ceased stopping at the Swedish town of THE Ystait, which has caused some considers.ble inconve nience to persons in huffiness. GREECE. The Trieste Gazette has the following from Athetl9, dated the 27th ult.:— " The murderer of the Minister Korfiolakia has been executed. He had written a letter to the widow of his victim, to entreat her to implore the clemency of the Qieen, as the real authors of the murder were at liberty. The Queen refused, and the execution was fixed for Sun day last. Another murderer was executed Vlore him, and when his turn came he ad varced boldly towards the scaffold, and aticitopteo 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 sevi n•_een wounds on the whole. When he was dead the form of execution was proceeded on the dead body." SPOItTiNG NOTES. No. CCCXXVI. YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET, AND TUE FIELDS FOR TO MORItO &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUZY. SIR,—LIke ut.to Monda3.'s races, my opinion was verified in nearly every instance, as I planed the first and second for the Royal Stakes, the first, second, arid third for the Clcarwell, and gave Weathergage and Lady Evelyn as likely occupants of the second and third posi tions in the Cesarewitch. The horse that I most relied on to pull ma through. Lo Juif, after a deal of mauceuv 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 suff. 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 fair third, and Iles 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 *ill 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 Baleine, Dove, or Phrygia (perhaps both), Glenavon, and, 'tis said, Syl• phine. Nut imagining that Sylphine can be in anything like respectable form as yet, after the blistering and other treatment she received some three or four weeks 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 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 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. 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 blight call of the field. I am, Sir, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Oct. 13. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. TUESDAY'S RACES. NEWMARKET, 5 O'CLOCK.—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 any thing 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.

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 be 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 fraught with s u T p h e e r word u a " b th e e en pa a n w ic o w rd as fra t ptearnriocr"s had 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. Gilbert bad 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 same being now worth 21 mil lions.—(llear, hear.) Periods of excitement had given us the Russia, Turkey, and Hudson's Bay Com panies, and to a similar cease 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. Oae was for naturalising silk worms, for which purpose a plants don 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 25,0001. 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 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 magnifident 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. The crisis of 1825 was heralded by symptoms of pros perity in every branch of tra de Up to that remarkable period , the principle of merce pu companies bad been slowly but surely 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 ...... 6,164,000 27 gas 25 insurance... 20,488,000 7 roads 16 water comp. 2,973,000 I 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, 41; 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 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. yetand a company for the complete development of the electric light. From all tbesa circumstances, and A short ce.nv s e e r remembering Lord Bacon's aphorism that " Money, muck,commercial m u must b c r e s e spread s we route seldomt o dog a o n o , d u ,' n ' in he i x i e n cife revil,red but generally resulted in much ulterior good. various points touched upon in the paper, after which p sa s t r i a o t n ed. f . ellowed arising out of the thanks were voted to M Francis and the chairman, and the meeting The newly-erected church at Tunbridge, dedicated to St. Stephen, will be consecrated the week after next, by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

ELECTION OF THE EARL OF DERBY AS CHANCELLOR. OXFORD, TIIESDAY.—A Convocation' was held here this clay at noon for the purpose of electing a Chancel lor of the University, in the room of his Grace the late Duke of Wellington. 'rho proceedings took place in Convocation Hall, before the Vico-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 and there a sprinkling of ladies. Amongst the gentlemen we observed, besides the Rev. theVice-Chan cellor, the Dean of Christ Church, the Master of Balliol College, the Provost of Oriel, the Principal of Brase nose College, the President of Trinity College, the War den of Morton College, the Principal of Jesus College, the President of Corpus Christi College, the Warden of Wadliam College, the Principal of St. Alban Hall, the Principal of Magdalen Hall, the President of St. John's Coll& ge, the Ward n of All Souls College, the Principal of St. Edmund Hall, the Rector of Lincoln College, the Principal of St. Maly 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. Resy, Dr. Whorwood, Rev. Mr. Robinson, Rev. W. C. Risley, Rev. Mr. Ogle, Rev. Mr. Lys, Rev. Mr. Rowden, Rev. Mr. Macray, Rev. P. Berle, Rev. Mr. Woolcombe, Rev. R. C. H3les, Rev. Dr. filoxhorn Rev. Mr. Judge, Rev. Mr. Jacob, Rev. Mr. Rigaud, Rev.: elr. Hobhottbie, Rev. Mr. Chaffers, Rev. Mr. Dyke, Dr. Bellamy, Rev. R. Hake, Rev. Mr. Ludlow, Rev. Mr. Chase, Rev. H. O. Coxe, Rev. Mr. Clutterbuck, Professor Hassey, Rev. Mr. Swabey, Rev. Mr. Haddam, Rev. Mr. Scolteck, Rev. Mr. Way te ' Rev. Mr. Moberley, R ev . Mr. Hackman, &c. The Rev. the VICE-CHANCELLOR having briefly stated the object of the assembling of Convocation, The Registrar of the University (Dr. Bilaf) read the statutes referring to the election, together with the Bri bery Act. _ The Senior Proctor (the Rev. W. C. LAKE, of Balliol Collego here rose and asked permission of the Vice- Chancelior 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:—Ile said that as it appeared the election of the Earl of Derby as Chancellor of the University was to be unopposed, ho 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. He foresaw, however, that if the business of the day were tran sac t e d i n p er f ec t s il en ce, 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 of the long vacation, and partly, he must also say, by the fault of the University itself; no opp or t un i ty h a d b ee n givenin the present instance for deliberation upon one of the most important subjects which it was possible to submit to the University.—(Partial cheers.) Ile 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 singl e wor d t h a t 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 bow 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 be e n as a ble to assist them with his counsels as he might be to defend theta by his elo quence . But the circumstance which he especially regretted was the great rapidity with which they had proce e d e d to t hi s election. The transaction of a matter of such vast im- I por t a nce 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 perfectly ready to allow that the expedition which had been used was the res ult 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 with the feelings 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 called upon, thus publicly and in his official capacity, to deplore the circumstance that on this important occa sion—he granted with no 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-CEIANCELL')R'S reply, also in Latin, was to this effect:—He said the Senior Prector 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 s trict 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 month 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 he bad vindicated himself to the University fur 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 (51r.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 performa n ce, 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 the Right lion. the Earl of Derby as Chancellor of the Uni versity.

DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL PRAED. Vice Admiral Bulkeley Mackworth Praed died on the 6'll 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 had never served at sea since the date of his post rank. He was con sequently, 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 Praeds, of the firm of Praeds and Co., bankers, of Flcet-street, London, and a protege of the late Earl St. Vincent. He 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. Daring 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 gua-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, 1791, into the Firm sloop, and after having served for t wo years and eight months in that ve s s e l 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 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 Iddies, 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 th 3 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 beingsicakn)d, commenced dis mantling un h d er ( , M u r n . bDavendying sails, Numbers of naval men and others visited the Duke of Wellington in the afternoon, and all ex pressed astonishnikent at the room and capa bilities of this magnificent man-of-war. She left Pembroke at one rat. on Saturday, in tow of the two steamers, the Desperate and Inflexible. F ine 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 swung yes terday at Portsmouth to have her c ompasses adjusted. Electra, 14, Commander Willia m 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, s crew-frigate, Captain Gitfard ' will have her compasses adjusted at Portsmouth to-morrow, when her officers and crew will turn over from the eigofahter.able, 50, Captain Sma r t, K .

In iteland especially, where Rome bad tho 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 pre sen t 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, 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 bo 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 Rome 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. Mellale 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 flock 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 ques tion that can be raised, any but the weakest and most meagre front in the new Houseof 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 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, us 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 ew 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 judieitil power to its bad ends, we see how it deals with religious ( qnality. It treats the open profession of tenets d.ffering from its own with the strong r.ed effective argument of eh nunciation as a crime against the State, and stops the free progress of edverse opinions by the short way of the prison or the galleys. With us it happens that this cannot be done. But is t 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 imprissnment 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 lisme, 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 55 the most insidious of encroaching foes wherever the dominion is with others, and its object is to p ro selytise for itself. In this kingdom, where Roman Catholicismis, thank heaven, so g r eatly 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 f law are its slaves—the full weight o 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 Mcatb, 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 harangue, intrigue, and bully for what they call reli gious equality. We can recognise them in no ether ca pacity. It they try to impose on us as Reformers, we shall know that the pretence is as thin as the burglar's crepe, and shall be at no loss to say what lies under it. 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 combing' lion raise th e c r y o f re li g i ous equal i ty, an d attempt, in concert, the robbe r y o f our Ch urc h ; and, unless l com mon sense and co mmon justice have died m l aw es the most ay in Eng land, we lo o k t o t h e i r bringing on themselves ever been signal expo sure and utter disgrace tha t impudent sham.

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 figuse, 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 may be almost considered sincere. Optat quieten: 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 he has long claimed and never yet seen. Ile appears every where as the author of peace. That is the only victory which can by any possible flattery bo ascribed to him. War would bo 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 sit once." Be 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 of the average order. He is seeking empire, and apparently will grasp the glittering bauble in a very few days. But " there is many a slip 'twist 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 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 vieion of cold-blooded despotism. The Parisian mob is not so prudent; and they have brought about a state of things eo 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 ono 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 largo 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 he 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 01 the people, now so anxious to escape from the stigma and perils of citizenship. That something cannot be supplied by public buildings, by lengthening doe 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 sate 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. Ho will have to reclaim and elevate a depressed population. He will hare to enter on a vast amount of material undertakings, railways, canals, roads, ports, packets, and other utilities, in which France has hitherto permitted herself to be beaten by this country. But there are voids that cannot be filled up by mere matter, and there are 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.
