Roberts, the champion billiard player of the world, in company with his son, visited Oxford on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last, and gave a series of entertainments to the members of the University at Mr. Russell's subscription room, which was numerously attended. The play of the elder Roberts, who has visited Oxford on two previous occasions, seemed to have lost none of its brilliancy, and with good health the champion appears destined tooccupy the high position he has gained by his skill and integrity for many years to come. It is somewhat so many years past no lay u up able to approach Mr. Roberts, and unless his y oun g son, who gives exceeding promise, should prove h imself a w onder, there is no one player should singular have u lar turned thatfor we know of on whom the champion can cast his mantle on the approach of the " sear and yellow leaf." On Satur day evening young Roberts contended iu a match of 1,000 up against a distinguished amateur,who received 450 out of 1,000. After some very fine play Roberts was victorious by upwards of 100 points, having made breaks of 69, 62, 58, 51, the former including 16 strokes. The most popular American racehorse at present is Dexter, who has trotted a mile in less than two minutes and 18 seconds, distancing every horse yet matched against him. It appears that during the last four months by win ning races he earned for his owners 822,717, while his ex penses were $6,783, leaving a net profit of $16,994. One half of this horse was recently sold for $ll,OOO. A SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.--As a gentleman was driving along the Cheam-road a few nights since, about 200 yards from the Cock Inn, at Sutton, he noticed something before his horse's path, and in a moment found a scuffling close under the animal's feet. The next instant he perceived a hare making off on one side the road and a large cat on the other. The latter had evidently seized the hare and was dragging it along, but either the load proved too great, or the resistance of the captive too strong, and the horse's feet came swiftly up and divided him and his prey. That cats will destroy rabbits and poultry is well known, but we have never before heard of one giving chase to a ham —Surrey Standard. Lord Poulett's Nu ... ~ ...

IMPATIENT HEARERS.—One Sabbath morning the Rev. Richard Watson, when engaged in preaching, had not proceeded far in the discourse when he observed an individual in a pew just before him rise from his seat, and turn round to look at the clock in front of the gailerY , as if the service were a k weariness to him. This unseemly act called forth the following rebuke :—" A. remarkable change," said the speaker, people of this country in regard to the public service of religion.

Mr. R. W. Edis, president of the association, took the chair, and therooms were filled by a numerous com pany, of whom a fair proportion were ladies. Among the members and friends of the society who were present were Professor Kerr, Messrs. Donaldson, Spiers, Christian, W. Cashill, and J. D. Mathews and R. Plumbe, the hon. secretaries. Letters of apology for their absence had been received from Messrs. A. J. B. Hope, M.P., G. G. Scott, T. li. Wyatt, D. Burton, T. Smith, and other gentlemen. Several gentlemen were nominated as members of, the association. Prizes awarded under the direction of the society were presented to the following gen tlemen—Class of Design, Ist prize, Mr. W. Lons dale ;2d prize, Mr. J. Jones. Figure drawing, Mr. J. Johnson. Tite prize for the best design of a street elevation, Mr. T. W. Willis. Other prizes offered for designs for a pair of semi-detached dwelling houses and for sketches from existing buildings had, in the absence of competition, not been awarded. The President delivered an address, in which he dwelt at considerable length upon the duties and opportunities of architects. He sketched the his tory of architecture in England during the last two centuries and a half, and complained rather severely of the manner in which architects had recently been treated by the Government in regard to competitions for the erection of public buildings ; especially he impressed upon all young architects and students the necessity for earnest, honest, and laborious study, in order to qualify them for the practice of their profession, and to enable them to execute such works as would im- • prove the public taste and connect their names with the art history of. their country: - —Mr Donaldson and Professor Kerr delivered brief addresses, in which they commended this association to the sup port of those who were interested in architecture, and referred with satisfaction to the good that it had already accomplished. Mr. Donaldson specially commended some of the drawings and sketches which were exhibited by Mr. Spiers ; and to a certain ex tent, echoing the remarks of the president, com plained of the influence which had recently been allowed to amateurs in the matter of public compe titions. After a short interval devoted to the con sumption of tea and coffee a selection of vocal and instrumental music was performed by Madame Gilbert, Miss Susannah Cole, and Messrs. Robert Mason, Ralph, Aylward, and A. Gilbert, and the proceedings were brought to a close soon after 11 o'clock. International Courtesies of the Press. Experience has long since shown that one of the most powerful instruments in securing the union of nations is found in the wide diffusion of a free and intelligent press. As a coadjutor of law, commerce, and social intercourse, the press exerts a wide spread influence in promoting a good understand ing among the different nationalities. With this view we have much pleasure in giving place to the following document. It was recently brought from America to England by the Rev. C. W. DENISON, and has been officially introduced to the notice of the parties to whom it is addressed. We under stand that this fraternal offering will be further con sidered, in a few days, by the authorities of the London Newspaper Press Fund, and that Mr. DENISON will be present on the occasion. [COPY.] The Press Club of Philadelphia, United States, to the Newspaper Press Fund oLondon, England, sends greeting : GENTLEMEN,—At a recent meeting of the Press Club of Philadelphia, held in that city, pursuant to notice, a report was made by Rev. C. W. DENISON, a member of the Club, with reference to the News paper Press Fund of London. Mr. DENISON has been for some time a resident of London, in connec tion with public journals, and is about returning to reside there permanently in the same capacity. At the close of his statement it was unanimously voted by the Club that a committee be appointed to address the Newspaper Press Fund of London, with a view, if agreeable to that body, to the opening of a fraternal correspondence. The undersigned, appointed for the purpose, have now the pleasure to discharge this preliminary duty. In doing so, they would state that the Philadelphia Press Club was organised in the year 1864. It is composed — of— reprowoOtives of,.the weekly newspapers of Philadelphia, and honorary .members of the learned artistic professions. Its meetings are held regularly twice a month in its rooms, 515, Chestnut-street, where a library is being gathered. The club is legally chartered by the courts of the State of Pennsylvania, and is therefore entitled to hold and dispose of property. Several of the most prominent citizens of the United States, in public life, quite a number of whom have been and still are journalists, are included in the ranks of ovr club. We are in . the habit, at stated times, of listening to essays from our members on topics peculiar to journalism. A course of public lectures has been instituted, which was well attended during the winter of 1865, and which it is believed produced good results. Our rooms, which are cen trally located, are becoming the resort of gentle men of the press who are visiting Philadelphia, and friendly relations are thus formed that are extending their beneficial influences through all parts of the Republic. In view of these facts we shall be most happy, as a Press Club, to hold communion with our brethren of the Newspaper Press Fund of London. Any public documents, periodicals, or journals, we can command that you may think will be of use to you, we shall take pleasure in forwarding to your ad dress. Should it be in your power to reciprocate the favour, it would be gratefully acknowledged on this side of the Atlantic. We enclose a list of the officers of our club for the current year, and remain, gentlemen, You'r obedient servants, (Signed) CHARLES WHEELER DENIM. THOMPSON WESTCOTT. CASPER SOUDER, Jun. (Committee.)

In his proclamation he says ;—" Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, has been pleased to vouchsafe to us as a people another year of that national life which is an indispensable condition of peace, security, and progress. That year, moreover, has been crowned with many peculiar blessings. The civil war that has so recently been among us has not been anywhere reopened. Foreign intervention has ceased to excite alarm or apprehension. Intrusive pestilence has been benignly mitigated. Domestic tranquillity has im proved ; sentiments of conciliation have largely prevailed, and affections of loyalty and patriotism have been widely renewed. Our fields have yielded quite abundantly ; our mining industry has been richly rewarded ; and we have been allowed to extend our railroad system far into the interior recesses of the country, while our commerce has resumed its customary activity in foreign seas. These great national blessings demand a national acknowledg ment..f Now, therefore, I. Andrew Johnson, President rd o the United States, do hereby recommend that r d ht b n e -s the 29th day of November next, be set apart served everywhere in the several States an . the United States by the people thereof, as ' due remem brancegiving and praise to Almighty God, with the same solemn His honour.
