' He believes that no professor of his art las at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has , Pared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those Who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst M any of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex- Pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. Ho regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this Public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. Ho regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New Yoelc Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is ' sorely puzzled at what lie has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the solution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: ---" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New 'York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in Loudon lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. Re inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, ono of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is Otte of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whore might be supp o sed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe 4 spirit-rapping—does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents 1 and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not : but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the Incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, be con siders it t' be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by w hich it is effected and the mischief to which it tends. In t he Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, i n company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that Spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad Purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their seance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my. hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out," With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongera—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be hold in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre, —a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even ing, the programme being continually changed. Grand fashionable Day Performance,' on Saturday, December 1, at 2 o'clock ; the programme being thus arranged ; Part 1. —Act 1.

Act 2. The Aqua-Avial Paradox ; exemplifying the power of producing animated nature from fire and water only, and the possibility of eliciting from the simplest elements the most complex farms of ornithological existence. Act 3, Le Livre des Reeueils Choisies : or, Puck's Own Pocket Book, with Puck himself within it. Typifying the evening's entertainment in the production of the very volu minous from a small volume, in the extraction of magnitude out of minuteness, in developing bulk where no space appears for its ,existence in discovering odd things in odd places, and in bringing forth unexpected wonders from the most unlikely Place for to be found, i Act 4, Magical Locomotion ; or, Transition without Trou ble. In which will be comprised—the Adventures of a Wed ding Ring, the Peregrinations of a Bank Note, the Transfor mation—black into white, and the Discovery of every Article in the position which would seem the most inappropriate. Act 5. L'Ecrin de Verro ; or, the Casket of Crcesus. Into 1 which, though made entirely of glass perfectly transparent, and suspended so as to be visible to the eyes of all present, the Wizard will cause the money of his visitors to transport „itself, and rain into the casket, though its lid be closed, locked, and the key in the possession of the audience. Act 6. Clairvoyance Ex t raordinar y ; or, the Transparency of Opacity. Act. '7. A New Bottle of Bacchus ; or, the Novel Wine and Spirit Store.

Act. 11. The Mystery of the Charmed Chest ; or, the Nucleus of the Night's Wonders. To comprehend which the audience will have the goodness to observe, in an earlier part of the evening, the chest suspended (like Mahommod's coffin) in mid-air, into which all things will travel, and out of which all will bo produced.

TItIESEMAR.—On the 29th of May, 1855, an Injunction was granted by the High Court of Chancery, and on the 11th June following was made perpetual, against Joseph Franklin and others, to restrain them, under a penalty of one thou sand pounds, from imitatin; this Medicine, which is protected Royal Letters Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the gcole do Paarraacio do Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna.

The annual Council dinner given at Oxford to th'e ex- Mayor took place in the Town-hall on Thursday evening. Tao quaint old hall, hung with evergreens and flags, was tastefully decorated in lionenr of the occasion, while a goodly show was made upon the tables by the corporation plate, including 'the coronation cup of Charles 11., toge ther with the splendid pieces of plate presented to Alder man Sadler by his fellow-citizens, and to Alderman Spiers upon the termination of his mayoralty.. The chair was occupied by the Mayor (Mr. Pike), and among those pre sent werie the Earl . of . Aliingdo.n, the Vice-Chancellor of the UniVersity, the ex-Mayer (Mr., Alderman Sadler)..Mr. lar.'Cardevoll, M.P., Mr. G. G. Harcourt, oplgriel4ortia, M.P.., Mr. J. H. Langston, M.P., Sir Janes 'Fergusson, M.P.-, Sir H. Versey, Major Reed, M.P., the- Registrar -of the _University, the Senior and 'Junior Proctors, Professor Johnson, Dr. Ac!and, the High ,Sheriff of Oxfordshire-(, fr. B. Whippy), Aldermen Thorpe, 'Spiers, Brosening, Dudley, &c. The c)oth having been withdrawn, The MAYOR pledged - the company in the " loving cup," which then circulked with the toast peculiar to the loyal city—"iMay God preserve the Church • and" State, and prosperjthe good city of Oxford." After the nine' loyal• toasts r The MAY OR rose t o g i ve " Our gallant Allies." With the health of the`Eraperor and Empress of the French they must not forget that of the King of Sardinia, who would be welcomed on his arrival in this corn:dry by every lover ,of oiviland religious liberty; and that of-the Sultan, who had proved himself well worthy of the assistance given him by'the Western Powers. (Cheers.) . • • In proposing " The Army and Navy," the MAYOR coupled with the toast the name-of—Sir James Fergus son, who had but lately returned from the Crimea. He haPpened te 'know that it •batl , been -the intention of thelhouesu:a-ble '.lsscronet-, o'n - coming ' to his estate, to , leaVe the .army ; but Sir James had, in the most noble ; manner, refused to ilo - so , when war was declared ; had shared in the dangers of Alma and Inkerman ; and (though there was less eclat, but not less credit attaching to this) had served during the whole winter in the trenches. (Drunk with three times three.) SirJ. FERGUSSON (who wore the Crimean medal and was most warmly received) said, the manner in which the toast had been drunk showed that the enthusiasm which prevailed throughout every part of this country had not found cold hearts to respond to it in Oxford. It was thus that every soldier was received on his return home; it was that the great heart of the nation spoke forth on every oc casion; and it was thus that our armies would be sent on from year to year to fight gallantly for their country. He was now no longer in the army, because other duties called him, and therefore he could the better appreciate and join in those praises which had been so justly bestowed upon it. Although we had n o l onger th at ga l lant b an d t o fi g ht for us who went forth from their country last year • al though he who comman d e d th em was laid low, sacrificed by his proud sense of duty and by devotion to his coun try ; though the footsteps of that army might bo traced by those frequent mounds which marked the last resting place of so many gallant hearts; though the force now in the East consisted, perhaps, mainly of young and untried troops, yet the spirit which animat e d th e warr i ors o f Alma Ind ollnkerman was not less alive in that army now. Each man who came home testified to this. They might fall into excesses to which all armies were liable; they might have their faults ; but everybody bore witness to the eagerness with which the men clamoured to be led to victory, and to the diligence with which these young sol hers laboured to fit themselves for the duties for which they were destined. He would not believe that ono defeat such as they had suffered at the Redan—and he would not call it a defeat, since the object for which they fought was obtained there, although for the moment our troops were repulsed—but call it what they would, he did not believe this would shake the confidence of England in her bravo soldiers. She knew well that in the hour of need they would be found at their posts, ready to fight her battles And to shed their blood in the cause of their country. (Cheers.) The Earl of ABINGDON proposed the health of the wor thy alderman who had just, for the third time, passed the civic chair, and whose conduct throughout his public career eminently entitled him to the confidence of his fellow citizens. Alderman SADLER returned thanks, and enumerated some of the works of improvement and of progress in which tie had been enabled to assist during his year of office. The MAYOR, in giving the next toast, said that at the present eventful period present would doubtless like to hear from their representatives something of what was going on in the world of politics, but as this was a social entertainment, and not an arena for discussion, ho was ifraid they must endeavour to restrain their curiosity. He proposed "The Health of the two members for the city, .llr. Langston and Mr. Cardwell." (Cheers.) Mr. LANGSTON briefly returned thanks. Mr. CARDWELL, in acknowledging the toast, said that, having been absent from England during much the larger portion of the Parliamentary recess, he was sincerely ie joiced at being enabled to return in time to be present at this splendid banquet to the oldest personal friend of whom ie could boast oblong the citizens of Oxford. After refer ring to the recent visit os Alderman Sadler to the Paris Exhibition, Mr. Cardwell continued—l am sure that our ,rienel conveyed to Paris not only an expression of your sympathy and satisfaction with the groat ceremony which _took_ bi.m ther e , but also an capsessiuttof thozu deeper ings which animate you when you contemplate that new alit firm brotherhood in arms which unites us with our neighbours across the Channel in the vindication of the :iberties of Europe. .(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I shall observe, I trust, with perfect certainty the rule which has been laid Town by the worthy Mayor and those who have preceded tee, and I shall not refer to any topic which can give rise o difference of opinion at this festive board ; but I think [ should misinterpret your feelings and desires if I ab stained from all reference to those engrossing topics of which alone you think in your solitude and which alone you celebrate in your festive public meetings. These are national and not party topics; they are the sentiments not of parties among Englishmen, but of United England —(hear)—and I shall, with your permission, say a few words upon the subject which now fills your thoughts. Gentlemen, that great Exhibition in Paris, conducted in no mall degree by the cordial co-operation of England and France, was closed by the Sovereign of that mighty king tom in words relating not to that peaceful assembly but to he alliance of England and France in arms—words worthy ' the occasion on which they were spoken, and exciting, s - believe, a cordial sympathy in your hearts. The appea, was made by the Emperor of the French, as to the final arbitrament of the great struggle in which we are engaged, to the universal voice of Europe, to public opinion, and to public law. For, gentlemen, as there is a municipal law in every well-governed kingdom, and as when that municipal iavr is invaded by aggression every private citizen becomes a civil officer to put down the wrong and restore the right, so there is in civilised Europe an international law ; and when that law is invaded for the purposes of guilty ambi tion, then other countries become the lawful and the just instruments for vindicating the liberties of Europe and for maintaining the peace of the world. It would be a waste of time, and worse than a waste of time, to recur to the long past occurrences which led to the origin of the war ; but this at least is clear— that the guilty act by which the peace of Europe was disturbed, and the law of nations broken, was the act of our enemy, Russia. Deep was that ;wilt, and signal already have been the consequences. In our security at home it is difficult for us to estimate what bayo been the consequences to Russia. We can form but s very inadequate idea of fields deprived of their cultiva tors by a ruthless conscription, which has already involved a very large proportion of the whole people ; we know nothing of nascent manufactures cut up by the roots, nor of deep wounds inflicted upon her commercial and social prosperity, which the present generation, in all probabi lity, will never live to see healed. The scourge of war must no doubt fall on all who are engaged in it. I believe it was a sayin g o f t h e Duke of Wellington that there was no greater calamity than a battle won except a battle lost, and so the guilty ambition of Russia has made Eng lish women widows and left English children fatherless; it has cost us in one year of war more public treasure than we bad saved in 40 years of peace ; and it has done somewhat to retard the wonderful development of our great commer cial power but it has left us conquerors in pitched battles, captors of fortresses believed to be impregnable, and un disputed masters of the sea. The Emperor of Russia, on the other hand, has to refer to fleets cowering behind for tresses from fear to meet the enemy, or sunk to the bot tom of the sea by the hands of him who framed them as the instruments of his power. He looks to Sebastopol given up in ensanguined ruins to his enemy, and he sees that even Sweaborg, the outwork of his capital, has felt a foretaste of our strength. (Hear ) This has been the result of the campaign of 1855. This is the way in which Provi dence has bl esse d th e arms of the Allies. In terms of na tural eloquence, which 1 am sure went to the heart of every member of this vast assembly the gallant officer who re turned thanks fel- the army, spoke to you of the achieve ments of our army, and of the duty of citizens at home. I apprehend that there cannot be any difference of opinion at home as to our duty. Our duty is to give the most vigo rous support to the Crown of England, shrinking from no sacrifice and sparing no exertion for the successful prose cution of the cause. (Cheers.) Justice to our soldiers, who for our sakes have shed their blood like water, fidelity to our Ally who has mingled his sacrifices with ours—a wish to impress upon our enemy that feeling of desire for peace, and to give us just satisfaction, which is the first essential condition of a return to peace—regard for the honour, for the prosperity, and for the safety of our coun try—speak to us in terms not only so clear and decisive as to carry conviction, but I believe as to exclude all possible difference of opinion. Gsntlemen, with regard to the future, there can be, I apprehend, no doubt that tho feeling of this country is one of sincere desire for the earliest attainment of a safe, honourable, and satisfactory peace. (Hoar.) What a private man would do when engaged in a mortal conflict in which he believed be was in the right —what you did when you began this conflict— what the Emperor of the French spoke of when he ad dressed his assembled subjects—what is the firm and settled character of the English people, namely, a resolute and calm determination to attain just objects by vigorous exertions—is, I believe, the unanimous opinion of those whom I have the honour to address, and I conceive it to be the universal feeling and opinion of the English people. (Cheers.) With regard to what these terms shall be, doubtless terms of peace must vary with the events of. war • but of this I am satisfied, that, as you went to war for Objects of international law and for the vindication of public liberty, as you'have conducted it with the highest and most exalted courage, so you will maintain it to the end in that same spirit ; resolved to attain the same ob jects for which you engaged in conflict and determined to maintain your cause. (Loud cheers.) [A Voice—" And make Russia pay the piper."] (Laughter and applause.) I know not that it is possible for any of us to form a clear conception of the terms upon which peace may eventually be concluded, but of this I am sure, that whenever it shall be possible, whenever terms shall be offered which promise you that satisfaction for which you entered into the fight, it will be the duty of every man, whatever be his station, without reference to any other object, to let all the ends he aims at be his country's, his God's, and truth's, and with a single purpose, for the vindication of European liberty and the safety and honour of England, to determine upon the questions laid before him. This being, as I be lieve, the universal feeling of Englishmen, I look forward with earnest hope to the time when, by the blessing of Providence upon the gallant exertions of our troops and on ' The:Ma:mu ptopursed , tA The ileulth of the three cotlnk Membrs—Mr.,Henley,lEr.Harcourt, and ' . Mr. HENLEY, in returning.thanks, said that, in spite of the warning given them from the chair to avoid political subjects, it was impossible for all pre s ent not to feel that they were met together undei somewhat anxiety! circum stances. (Hear, hear.)- Wiwere engaged in a great war in the East, and he wishedhe could say that.the West was altogether free from 01044 and that the - horizon in that direction was quite clearnhd alio belieed-,therk was no one ,who would rforbe-gla ace virit in per cant' language of the - day was called "6 Beano and 'honourable peace" (a term of which. by the wa11301: had never yet heard any man give a definition) ; but 'still his experience led him to the conclusion that, when two strong persons fell out, unless by some providential interposition the mind of one of them was changed—which did not very often hap pen—nothing came of it until one or the other got a very good thumping. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) This al ways produced some effect, and then things which to the defeated seemed unjust, became just and admissible. un palatable conditions were swallowed, and a secure and honourable peace was the result. He concurred in every thing which had been said in praise of our noble army, and he did not believe, whenever this struggle terminated, that England would find the prestige of her army weakened, or her glory diminished. (Cheers.) The country throughout seemed anxious to afford the Government such support as should enable them to carry on the war and secure the ends for which it was commenced ; he saw nowhere any signs of flinching. From one end of the land to the other no body seemed to dispute the justice of the grounds upon which we went to war ; no one pretended to say that the causes of the war had ceased to exist, or that the future was secure ; and he did not believe the people would give up the struggle into which we had entered with our ally until the object for which we had commenced it was se cured, and safely secured. (Cheers.) If this country were to bring the war to a conclusion before it had good grounds for doing so, all the blood and all the treasure which had been spent (and this was not a little, as they had been reminded) would be wasted ; and then, though he might not survive to witness it, many a man present would live to see the fight begin over again, and as much more blood and trea sure would have to be expended. (Hoar, hear.) The hall in which they were now met was wont to be used for other purposes, and he recollected an'incident which took place there so apposite to the subject which now occupied every mind that he could not help recalling it. A landed pro prietor of that county went to law—he believed about nothing more than the turning a goose or a jackass upon a piece of waste. There was an array of bigwigs in the hall, and no end of fees. It was in the days of old Serjeant Ludlow. At last the case came on, the jury was sworn, the people in court were gaping to hoar, and the wretched plaintiff stood behind his counsel. The barristers whis pered one to another, two words came from the judge, and then a verdict was taken for the defendant upon six pleas and for the plaintiff upon six pleas, with leave to move. (A. laugh.) Of course the uninitiated wondered what it all meant, and the wretched plaintiff, leaning over to his counsel, said, " Serjeant, what have I got ?" Ser jeaut Ludlow immediately turned round to him and said, " You've got nothing, and you've lost all your money." (Laughter) Now, that would be exactly the case if this country were to make an unsafe peace—we should have gained nothing and lost all our money. (Cheers.) Ho hoped this would not be done. It must be recollected that we had entered into a great European struggle—in intimate alli ance, thank God, with another great European power. Iu this struggle, reckoning Sardinians, Turks, French, and. English, it was nu exaggeration to say that 100,000,000 of people were arrayed on the one side and 60,000,000 on the other. It was a fearful struggle, and he thought they ought to rejoice at the language used at the closing of the Paris Exhibition by our great ally, who when he said that the decision of this struggle was an European question, clearly had in his mind the idea that principles of justice and equity must obtain in settling this great quarrel, and that neither France nor England nor the allies together must bo led away by any false glory to ask for terms which the interests of Europe did not demand, but that it must be looked upon with large views, with an eye to the common interests of all Europe. In his opinion the honour of this country would be eveseApallas,sukaared if, after so lavish au expenditure of blood and treasure, we should prove to Europe that we had been actuated by no selfish notives, that we had been struggling to accomplish no low and unworthy objects, but that we had been fighting in he rmit of the security and the welfare of the whole civilised world. (Cheers.) Col. NORTH, following up the remarks of his right hon. colleague, said, that certainly no war had ever been entered into by this country with greater fairness or with less of personal feeling than the present. It was undertaken to gratify no ambition, but to establish the freedom of the whole world, and he for ono hoped the Englishman was not yet:born who would wish to see peace brought about unless it redounded to the honour and glory of his country. (Great cheering.) Our countrymen had shed their blood nobly abroad; at home the people had not been behind hand in furnishing the sinews of war • and ho was sure considerations of motley would never induce them to desire a hasty and insecure peace. In the French nation we pos sessed a noble ally, as anxious as we could be for peace when it could be honourably obtained, but also determined never to terminate the contest until they could insure such peace as would reflect honour oa those nations which had undertaken the war against the common foe. (Cheers.) Mr. G. G. HAECOIIIIT said if Mr.Cobden bad been there, 'and had denied the justice of the war, and declared that the negotiations of Vienna ought to have brought about a pacific solution, he might have teen tempted to enter into an argument in order to combat such a notion. His right hon. friend (Mr. Cardwell) had, however, laid d own so distinctly, and so eloquently, those principles of interna tional law and public morality upon which the justifica tion of this war was rested by Parliament and by the na tion—he had stated so properly that the aggression on the part of the Cz sr was perfectly unwarran t a ble —he had spoken so truly o f th e determination of this country to p c o o i r i t n ttyo such in ethh nextmeasures military Parliamentry policy prosecute the war to a satisfactory termination, that he (Mr. Harcourt) hoped the members for both the city and unanimous in their determination to ive a vigorous sup forward by the Government - that they affairs, necessary to carry the war to a would unani mously supply those means which, although burdensome to the country, were, in this unfortunate condition of be found tion ; and that it would be found there was no more diffe rence of opinion than prevailed, ho was happy to say, among those now present. Upon the subject of the war, then, he would really, in the expression of his opinion, adopt as successful e might s sfa b l e te b r r m OU: the language of his right hon. friend : he could not speak inure justly—he could not speak more distinctly. At the same time let no man doubt that be (Mr. Harcour t) was . as much impressed as spy ono w ith th e calamities u nder which wo were suffering in consequence of this war. Three years ago Parliament had hoped to continuo its p ro g ress in financial reform, an d i n gradually lightening the bur dens of the people, while during the last two years it had been their painful duty to increase those burdens. He was convinced, however, that if the reasons add uced b y the Government for the continuance of our present taxation, and possibly for its augmentation, should bo sat isfactor y , he should gratify hi s constituents much more by giving his assent even to that increase, if necessary, than by shrink ing from the sacr ifi ces required to place our m ilitar y an, to naval forces upon th a t f o oti n g which alone could insure o us a safe and honourable peace. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Alderman SADLER said the people of Oxford would never desire to see the sword sheathed, whatever burdens might be imposed in consequence, until the aggressive ten dencies of Russia were repressed, and a safe and honour able peace was arrived at. He concluded by proposing "The health of the Lord-Lieutenant of Berkshire, the Earl of Abingdon." The Earl of ABINGDON, in returning thanks, observed that we were on the eve of welcoming among us a Sove• ent,had reign who, at a time when popular and constitutional unknownnd on the Co n t c onstitutional Continent, Govern ment, and whose troops . had proved themselves worthy, s P ec iu u e re iP d ie t s o ompanions ip of French and wereh ihis almost country a free .ey had formed, and of the h t h H e hoped t a , with such allies, we by their achievements in the , field, .of the great alliance English soldiers. 4. use the homel hrase of his that " good thumping," e° nld bring abou y t, p not a hollow right hon. friend —which wo s uccessful •ofthe sue should inflict upon the enemy that signal chastisement— truce, but a glorious and (Cheers.) permanent “ The h h Sheriff of the county" was to. next drunk, and duly respondeddnot hte only at the opinions Mr. LANGSTON was deg • b e d by the various speakers with which had been enunciated t the feelings so unequivocally the toast, con hose present.

It was a most interesting sight when other States were cowering at the feet of despotic sovereigns, to see Sardinia, as he had seen it during his late stay in Italy, rising above its neighbours and throw ing itself heart and band into the struggle which was taking place in Europe. They could not feel too grateful to his Majesty for the part taken by him in the endeavour to check the ambition of R ussia, and to fight the battle of liberty against despotism.

Since the above particulars re4pecting the last week's arrivals of gold per escorts were made no, the Ovens escort has arrived with 6,691 ounces. The shipments by the Kent will be about 130,000 ounces, and it is generally anticipated that exchange will decline 1 or 2 per cent. On Sunday evening an extensive fire broke out at Sandridge, where the Bay terminus of the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway is situated. The file broke out in the upper floor of the Ship Inn, a brick building, and soon spread to a long wooden bowling-alley attached to the inn. These bowling alleys, by the way, introduced by the Americans, are as popular here as in New York. From the bowling alley it spread to a large shipchandler's store, also of wood, the pro perty of Inglis, Adams, and Graham. Here a large stack of goods was destroyed. The other buildings de stroyed were May's butcher's shop, Brown Brothers' shipchandlery store, the London Restaurant, the Chusan Boarding-house, Dawson's hairdresser's shop, two cigar shops, a general store, and some smaller buildings. All these, except the Ship Inn, were of wood. Liardet's Hotel bears a charmed life ; it was licked by the flames; but, having only one window on the side nearest the con flagration, the engines kept it from igniting. The value of property destroyed is estimated at about 20,0001., of which not more than 6,0001. or 7,0001. is covered by insurance. Within the last week a little note of preparation for the new constitution has been sounded, Orders have been issued to the colonial engineer to inspect and sur vey the Queen's Theatre, with a view to its conversion into an " Upper House." NEW SOUTH WALES. (Fmk?, the Sydney Morning Herald of the &h of Sept.) With the opening of summer the produce of our gold fields promises to he more abundant, and the full prices, according to careful assay, given at the Sydney branch of the Loyal Mint, offer every encouragement to our gold mine's. The western and southern escorts arrived this morning, and delivered at the Colonial Trea sury the following quantities of gold dust :—From the western fields, 1,626 oz. 18 dwts. 16 grs. —namely, from Bathurst, 127 oz. ; Sufala, 546 oz. 19 dwts. 16 gre. ; Tatnbaroora, 211 oz. 19 dwts. ; Avisford, 683 oz. 16 dwts. ; Louisa Creek, 57 oz. 4 dwts. From the southern fields, 1,378 oz. 9 dwts. 6 grs.—namely, from Goulburn, 489 oz. 13 dwts. 12 grs. ; Braidfozd, 849 oz 15 dwts. 18 grs. ; Major's Creek, 39 oz. The total amount of gold dust received by both escorts was 3,005 oz. 7 dwts. 22 grs. The amount of gold dust imported into the Sydney Branch of the Royal Mint, for the purpose of coinage, during the week ending to-day, has been 1,699 ounces. The Mint issued to-day 13,000 sovereigns. In tallow the market is extremely dull, presenting a marked contrast to the activity, attended with high prices, which we have so lately reported. POST-OFFICE NOTICES. The following notices have been issued from the Post office : "LETTERS FOR NORWAY. "On and from the Ist of December next the packet communication between Denmark and Norway will cease, and the mails for Norway will consequently be forwarded through Sweden until further notice. " During the period of conveyance of these mails via Sweden the rate of postage to be taken on letters ad dressed to Norway will be Is. sd. the half-ounce, and so on, according to the scale for charging inland letters. "This rate comprises both the British and foreign postage on letters addressed to Norway, and constitutes the whole charge to the place of their destination, and it may be either paid in advance or the letters may be forwarded unpaid, at the option of the sender, except, however, is the case of registered letters, the postage upon which, as well as the registration fee, must be paid in advance." " LETTERS FOR, THE COLONY OF NATAL. " InformatiOn having been received from the Govern ment of Natal, the letters addressed to that colony, when forwarded from the United Kingdom by a vessel proceeding only as far as the Cape of Good Hope, will be liable in future to an additional charge, on delivery, for their conveyance from the Cape to Natal, the Post master-General thinks it necessary to make this regula tion known to the public, and at the same time to give notice that, under the above circumstances, letters for Natal will henceforth be transmitted only by private ships proceeding to Natal itself, unless specially addressed to be sent by a vessel sailing to the Cape of Good Hope. " The postage - chargeable in this country upon a letter for Natal, whether transmitted by a ship direct or vics the Cape (and independent of any colonial charg e ) , is the usual rate of Bd. the half ounce, which must i n all cases be paid in advance." APOTHECARIES' HALL.—Names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates top ractice, on Thurs. day, Nov. 29, 1855: —john Lumsden Propert, New Cavendish-street; Hugh Mortimer Roviland, Ironbridge; Win. Townsend, Sydwall, Shropshire; Chas. Nottidge, Streatham ; Francis Calrort, York. His highness joined the advanced the 4 . tl snot, his toteittprerek.‘ofieisting. (32 battalions) of infantry, 4 battalions 1,000 cavalry, with 27 field pieces and 1 or in all abOut 20,000. men; the remain about 10,000 men, being employed to pr at God ova, Tchinshera, and Soukoum. On the 4th instant his highness commenced construct. ing batteries on the right bank of the Ingur, with a view of menacing the enemy by the ford at Ruki. These batteries were armed on the following night, and opened their fire on the morning of the 6th instant about noon. On the same morning his highneis moved 3 brigades of infantry (24 battalions) with 3 batteries, with an ad vanced guard of 31 battalions of chasseure and four guns, under the command of Colonel Ballard, down the right bank of the river, a distance of about seven miles, where a branch of the river was forded to an island, which:is some miles in length, and from a half to two miles wide. After proceeding along this island for about two miles some lNlingrelian militia were encountered near a ford, which crosses from the island to the lett bank of the river; they speedily retired, when the enemy opened a fire of artillery and a heavy fire of musketry from the in trenchments on the left bank, thrown up for the protec tion of the ford, It very soon became evident that to force a direct passage at this ford would be a very difficult undertaking. His highness, therefore, while occupying the enemy at this ford, sent officers to the right and left, and fords were discovered in both directions ; ono about three quarters of a mile above or to the left of the main ford, the other about one mile and a half below or to the right of the main ford. Troops were immediately sent to pass these fords ; that to the left was unprotected. The passage was made by two battalions of infantry and three companies of chasseurs by about 4 p.m. His Highness having en trusted me with this command I moved them by a wag gon track through the forest unperceived by the enemy, until within 600 yards of the position at the main ford, which his troops were occupied in defending from a direct attack. The Turkish troops advanced readily to the attack, taking the enemy and his entrenchments iu reverse. The enemy immediately fell back, and attempted to break through the Turks in column, but being met by a heavy fire in their front and on both flanks, they broke and dispersed in the forest, leaving us masters of the field, with three pieces of their field artillery and six ammunition waggons in our possession. At the moment that the Russian columns attempted to break through our line, I grieve to say that my aide-decamp, Captain Dyinock, 95th Regiment, having first had his horse killed under him, was wounded close by my side, encou raging the Turkish troops. He died soon afterwards. His death is to be deplored, as her Majesty has lost in him the services of a most promising and brave young officer, for whom his highness Omer Paeha has frequently expressed to me his high esteem. This young officer had accompanied me from the commencement of the war in Turkey. Whilst this operation was proceeding on the left a brigade moved down to the right, under Osma❑ Pasha, a•-id forced a passage in front of a force believed to be of four battalions, but without artillery and not entrenched. This operation succeeded, and soon after dark the Turk ish,forces on the left bank were in communication from rib 'it to left, and complete masters of that side of the tliroe s hout thi. length. The loss on the side of the Turks has been 314 killed and wounded, of whom 63 are killed, and 4 missing. His highness has been pir sed to express himself in Ls highness has been pleasL expre— terms of the highest satisfaction of the conduct of the Bristish officers who accompanied his force. Lieutenant- Colonel tallard conducted the advanced guard, and sus tained a very heavy fire from the enemy at the principal ford, about 100 yards wide, from noon until dark at 5 p.m., occupying the enemy until his position was turned by the Turkish left. Captain Caddell also rendered good service, attached as Second Senior Artillery Officer to that branch of the service. His interpreter was killed. The loss on the side of the enemy has not yet been ascertained, but up to the present time (noon) 347 have been buried, of whom eight officers, among which the prisoners report there are two colonels. The prisoners report that there were eight battalions of infantry, besides a great number of Mingrelian militia opposite the main ford.—l am, &c., (Signed) JOHN L. A. SIMIONS. The Earl of Clarendon, &e. COURT FOR TDE CONSIDERATION OF CROWN CASES RESERVED. (Present—Lord Campbell, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Justices Wightman, Cresswell, Erle, Williatus, Crompton, and Willes, and Berms Parke, Alderson, and Platt.) THE QUEEN V. GORDON. The prisoner was indicted, with one Davidson, for f e lony, in not surrendering to a fiat in bankruptcy which had been issued against them. Upon the trial before Mr. Justice Erle, at the Central Criminal Court, several objections were taken and they were reserved for the opinion of this Court, and they were argued on the 10th inst„ when the Court gave judgment in seven of them, but, not agreeing upon the eighth, it was ordered to be re-argued before all the judges. This point was this : The two bankrupts having left this country before they were made bankrupts, their counting-house was taken possession of by the messenger under the bankruptcy. He left one copy of the notice of the adjudication at the counting-house. It was urged that, as there were two partner:4, it was necessary that two copies of the notice should have been left. Mr. Chambers (with Mr. 0. Harrison) appeared for the prisoner, and said the question turned upon the con struction of the 12th and 13th of Victoria, chap. 100. Ho contended that there should have been served upon l each bankrupt a separate and distinct copy of the adju dication and a notice of the filing of the petition. Each partner in bankruptcy was considered to be a distinct individual. Baron Parke said the doubt was whether each partntr was not entitled to a separate notice—whether a notice addressed to both and left at the counting-house was sufficient. Mr. Chambers said the words of the statute were that the notice should be served personally, or left at his place of abode, or at his last known place of business. It was clear it was not served personally ; but a paper, and one paper alone, was left at the place of business of the two bankrupts. That paper was to perform the part of a summons and the part of a notice. The party was called upon to come in and be examined, and the paper also gave him notice that he had been adjudged bankrupt, and on the back of this paper was a form of protection from arrest. Each bankrupt had aright to a copy whi ch he might carry in hi s pocket. It would not be enough to M a n to leave a copy at th e pl ace o f a b o d e c f one partner Tr.

The spirit of en terprise stagnates in the dead lock of contrary opinions. Doubtless, there is wisdom in the multitude of counsel lors ; doubtless, dangers are avoided that might have camped the eye of one man, however circumspect ; yet genius itself becomes a retarding, instead of a moving power in these consultations, and the only result is that nothing is done for fear of a result that might, perhaps, have been better than nothing. The difficulty is even aggravated by the interference of unseen advisers. The chiefs before Troy found themselves occasionally tapped on the shoulder by a goddess who bad come at a bound from Olympus to pull them out of a scrape. The electric telegraph, if it makes a still longer journey, takes as we know not why, a much longer time, and does not always appear to be the best possible adviser. But it is not merely personal genius and personal qualities of all kinds that are "thrown into the melting pot ; " there never was so great a muster, and so little use, of national characteristics. Our own solid infantry, our heavy cavalry, our perfect artillery, the dashing Zouave, the scientific French engineer, the active Pied montese, and the rough Turkish troops, who evidently hove more in them than appears to the Western eye, furnish a variety of instruments such as is rarely ob tained iu modern armies. We have ourselves added to the variety, by the formation of German and Swiss Le gions, a Turkish Contingent, and we know not what besides. There are also army works corps, and trans port corps, and "navvies," and every supplementary service that can be imagined by land or by sea. With all these auxiliaries it might have been expected that while the grand army was moving at a pace of ' its own, or taking its own time for doing anything before Sebastopol, some smaller enterprises would be attempted elsewhere. The autumn has been most unusually propitious for any undertaking, by land or by sea, that we were likely to attempt. With such a force, and with three whole months to do it— long enough fur a march from Sebastopol to Moscow— it certainly is unaccountable that we have done nothing to interrupt the communication between Perekop and the Russian camp, or, at least, to compel so large an e.cort as to aggravate the drain on the Russian army. We are afraid to move more than a day's journey from our positions, having the fear of the Cossacks always before us ; and at the same time we hold, not only at Eupatoria, but on the Dardanelles, and now on their road to Shumla, a large force of irregular cavalry, quite as good as the Cossacks for outpost work, for forays, and such desultory erup'oyments. We have done a little in the way of intercepting supplies, but we must be pardoned ff wo think it but little. The preparations made for an attack on Kaffa, on Arabat, and elsewhere indicate thateven in the cautious judgment of the chiefs more might be done with ad vantage, if it were possible. But, so far, Omar Pasha is the fortunate man, alone spared from councils of war, and allowed to act single handed. Are we to suppose that among the many thousand officers of all nations iu our army in the Crimea, and the soldiers of all kinds at their disposal, there is no one who could ado what Omar Pasha seems to do as a matter of course whenever he has the opportunity 1 Yes, there are two or three at Kars, the chief of whom is there because the rules of the British service are carefully devised to discourage, and so to banish. the officer who combines with experience the highest description of professional ability. But to revert to the hero of the Danubian campaign, now fortunately released from Crimean trammels. He has conducted a large force of irregulars into the interior of a country notorious in all ages for its difficulty. Without any basis of ope rations, except that ho holds the coast a., no coniderable distaoce, be has pushed his way through Eresta ' over mountains and rivers, till be found a Russian army strongly fortified on the opposite banks of a wide river. The situation is very suggestive of Alma, but Omer Pacha's treatment of it was not quite the same. Csl lecting his army, he planted some cannon to occupy the attention of the enemy, and then explored the river up and down. Crossing it at four points, he drove the Russians from their intrenchments with great slaughter and little loss, and at the last date was following them on the road to Kutais. The country before him is said to be a second Affghanistan, and we are now approach ing a season of the year that would add to the parallel ; yet we bear no fears expressed for Omer Pasha and his gallant little army. So unbounded, after all, is the con fidence that people naturally plaoe in enterprise and genius in ever so great difficulties and with ever so in adequate means ! We are not saying that the same risks are to be run with 200,000 men as with 20,000, or that we ought necessarily to give up the advantage of good advice for the sake of one command ; but it is rather hard on our officers, our soldiers, and our cause that the only opportunity of personal distinction should be reserved for an Austrian renegade and an army of Turkish irregular.
