The Duke of Newcastle on Oxford Local Examinations, At the Town-hall, Nottingham, on Wednesday evening, the Duke of Newcastle distributed the prizes and certificates awarded by the University of Oxford to the successful can didates at the local examination held at Nottingham in June last. The Mayor (Mr Birkin) presided. The Nottingham Board was established in January, 1859, to carry out in the Midland Counties the system of local examinations adopted by the Universities. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, after some preliminary re marks, said he believed that in this country all members of the Church of England and every class of Dissenters were agreed upon this—that any education, however good in itself, must be defective, and must be indeed a thing of evil almost, unless it was accompanied in some form or other with instruction in the religious belief and in the faith of Christianity, (Hear, and cheers.) A scheme had, therefore, been lately introduced, and he believed and sin cerely hoped that it was working well, by which marks could be given for examination in faith and religion with out infringing on the religious rights and feelings —nay, the prejudices even if they would—of any dissenting sees tion of the community. (Hear.) He was sure that that had been the great desire of the heads of the Universities, and he did hope that it would be successfully carried out. Now, he thought it would not be difficult to prove that in that short period of six years these examinations had expe rienced very considerable improvements—improvements had been introduced into the system, but still greater im provements had been evinced among the pupils who were examined. If they compared the present number of selec. tions and rejections of candidates with those which took place in the first year of these examinations in 1858 he be lieved that they would find the proportions exactly reversed as far as the selections were concerned. That must have arisen from one of two things—either that greater pains were taken and greater efficiency obtained in consequence of the exertions which were made both by scholars and by masters, or else the standard of examination must have been materially lowered. • Now, he was confidently and positively assured that the latter was not the case; that, on the contrary, instead of the standard being lowered, it had been raised, and therefore they came to that happy conclusion—viz , that the other alternative must be correct, and that both by the exertions of the masters and the pupils much greater proficiency is obtained—in fact, double the amount of six years ago. An improvement had been made also in the examinations, and especially in those examinations which were called preliminary examinations, and he deduced from that this also interesting fact—that regard, and a great share of regard, is bestowed upon those essentials of education which are embraced in those pre liminary examinations,and that no showy accomplishments, no proficiency in the more advanced stages of study, would avail anything if there was a deficiency in those elements of education which must be always the basis, whether they spoke of the education of the higher, or the middle, or of the lower classes. (Hear.) He did not know whether now, but certainly no long time since, various objections were urged against the principle of these examinations, and not alone to these examinations so much as to the improve ment of education, because it was said that they were only raising the vanity of young men, and inciting them to ob tain a smattering of a great number of subjects to obtain a class of education which was greatly beyond their want, and by those means raising their ideas of their own self-impor tance, and unfitting theta for the important avocations of lite. Now, he utterly disbelieved that they produced any such effect. He had rarely seen vanity and false pride among the really well educated and instructed ; but he had often seen a very large amount of vanity among the grossly ignorant, and still more among those who perhaps could hardly be called ignorant,but whose education had been stopped at that period of life when, in fact, it would almost be beginning. He said, therefore, that he believed that that was a most imaginary objection. There was another which perhaps had more plausibility, and that was that it led to cramming. Now, that undoubtedly must att end any examination which took place under almost any circumstances. He believed that if there was a system of education which was less open than any other to the charge of cramming it was these Ox ford examinations. It prevailed in the Universities them selves, and whatever objections might be raised against it, i t was impossible to prevent it. It existed to a very great extent, no doubt, in competitive examinations for offices under the Government, and he was not one of those who we re prepared to stand up for cramming strongly; on the contrary, he admitted that it had its evil, and that it was most unpleasant. He sympathised with any young man who after an arduous and industrious course of studying any thing thoroughly, and after having gone to the bottom of all his subjects, found himself thwarted in his endeavours and overcome in the struggle by one who had spent only a fourth of the time, but who had by the instrumentality of an astute master obtained in a short time, and also for a short time, that acquaintance with the subject for which he had been toiling so long. But, if he looked at the effect on the community at large, he certainly was not one of those who thought there was so very great and vital an objection even to cramming. If they regarded the individual him self, he was quite sure that nothing but good could re sult from it. He was, no doubt, a young man who would not exert himself and apply himself w i t h that persever ingthe long ran industry which, in would be the re ward of every man, and ho obtained these great advan tages, the development of his intellectual faculties to a material extent and the strengthening of his working powers, and he must retain a very considerable proportion, even for years, of that learning which, no doubt, if more steadily and better acquired, would re ma i n with him en tirely, Another objection that had been raised to the exa minations was the effect they produced upon the masters. It had been said that the consequence was that the masters would devote their attention to the able boys and neglect those whose powers were less acute, and endeavour to build their reputation upon the success of the best by sacrificing the less good. Now, in the first pl ace, h e hoped and believed that there were not many masters who would he guilty of that very grave offence. (Hear.) But, so far from believing that to be the result of those examinations upon the masters, he believed they gave them a healthy an d useful impulse, and kept up a pressure upon them which prevented that weariness and a desire for cessation from work which all all men must experience who devote many years of their 'lives to the laborious and monotonous duty of teaching. (Hear, and cheers.) H e should only say that he thought it most honourable to the schoolmasters of this country—and he was speaking, ' he beggedto say, all this of that particular class of schoolmasters who came within the sphere of that examination—it was most honourable to them that they had persevered with so little reward to them, and bestowed their I9bours so disinterestedly on therising youth of this country.

We praised and admired" our poets and authors of every class ; we almost worshipped our military and naval heroes—we reverenced the memory of our great statesmen, and yet we forgot how much a great many of these owed to the early tuition of the masters under whom they were placed, and how much the country therefore owes to the exertions and labours of these masters. (Cheers.) He believed, however, that this class, like every other class, had improved, and there was no doubt that up to a very recent time great im provement was necessary. The greater part of those who were grown up to maturity and were present in that room might recollect well what was formerly the class of a greater portion of the middle class schools of England. He was afraid that class was not altogether extinct, but, at any rate, the class had improved, and there was a hope that to a very great extent, the old class was dying out. He alluded to that class of men who kept what was called " the commercial school." There were many commer cial schools, but he alluded to one that was known more particularly by that name—ghat class where " Com mercial" was written np in gold letters on a magnificent ground, and where what used to be called by the odious name "Genteel education" was duly administered under som e rule or other, whether the rule of thumb or whatever it might be, he did not know, but some rule that never led to any useful result. (Great laughter.) But how could it? Because what was the class of man who used to keep these schools ? He was not a man who had himself received a liberal education ; he was not a man who had, by preparing himself for his profession in his younger days, fitted himself f o r the discharge of his duties, but a man who had tried all ot h e r professional pursuits and failed. (Hear.) It was a poor gOod man who had failed in the grocery business, or it w as an equally worthy man who had made some unfortun ate speculation in the oil and colour trade. They were all worthy men, no doubt, acute and intelligent men in their different classes, but men totally unfit for instructing youth for this reason, that they had never been instructed them selves. (" Hear," and cheers.) They transferred from their ow n well kept ledgers those beautiful specimens of copper plate handwriting to the copybooks of their pupils, but beyond that he really believed that a great number of their scholars knew nothing but the merest smattering of know ledge, smattering that only made the youth on entering life likely to become one of the very class of which he had bean pe aking—viz., those imbued w ith van ity, on accoun t of h very little knowledge which th e y p ossesse d. (Ch eers. ) Well, there was another class— a ver y muc h hi g h er c l ass —of schools throughout the country, but which had to a verygreat extent, from the progress of circumstances, fallen from their hi g h e s t ate. He spoke of those once great es tablishments , the grammar school of England. They were s cattered over a large portion of th e land, and h e cou ld see no reason whatever, but the reverse, why those sc h oo l s should not be to a very ma t er i a l ex t en t t rans f orme d t i n to their former usefulness, regenerated and re-established an d made most useful institutions, es p ec i a lly i n th e great towns of England. In conclusion, he could most gladly w i s h all the pupils prosperity and happiness in life, it would be futile to wish it to them, but he did trust that they would all struggle upwards, notwithstanding that they would all have their own trials and difficulties before them. They must not succumb to them. There was nothing more ennobling, there was nothing more honourable, there was nothing capable of giving higher gratification than a hard struggle with difficulties, provided always that those diffi culties were not of our own creation. (Cheers.) That they might overcome them he sincerely wished, and that they might share among them such a portion of happiness as God might give he equally desired. He hoped their career would be one of probity and industry and of honour, so that at the close of it they might merit, as he was sure they would receive, the respect of their fellow-citizens, and obtain that reward which, next to one, was the greatest they could re ceive— th e approval of their consciences.

The building of the new frigate Belle rophon, which has just been commenced at Chat ham Dockyard, will inaugurate a new era in iron shipbuilding, the Lords of the Admiralty having for the first time admitted the importance of hav ing the vessels of our future iron fleet constructed on what is termed the double-bottom, or unsink able principle, by which a complete revolution will be effected in the mode of constructing iron vessels of war. The use of iron as a material for ships for the Royal navy has hitherto not been an un questionable success. The Warrior and our other iren ships have proved themselves marvels of strength, but the disadvantages which have been experienced by their officers and crew in other respects are so serious that the iron-plated wooden frigate Royal Oak, which was lately built and sent to sea from Chatham, is unquestionably at present the most po pular ship, with both officers and men, in the iron plated Channel squadron. One of the principal defects of the iron ships is the rapid fouling of the bottoms, and the information which has come to us respecting the late cruise of the Channel Fleet shows that this evil is now more fully felt than ever among those who know how an important a quality speed will henceforth become in our war ships. That the Admiralty are fully alive to the magnitude of this defect is evinced by the avidity with which they seize upon any invention submit ted to them whieh offers a good prospect of ulti mate success in preventing this serious evil. The chief defect, however, which has hitherto been ex perienced in our iron and iron-clad ships is the, until now, insurmountable difficulty experienced in ren dering them a fit place for some hundreds of officers and men to pass two or three years of their life. Unlike a wooden vessel of war, the bottom of an iron ship is 63 weak in compari son with its other parts—and so liable to injury, that unless the ship is divided internally into numerous independent compartments or cham bers, a comparatively slight touch of a rock, or other such injury below water, would expose her to the risk of almost instant destruction. It has, therefore, hitherto been found necessary to divide the Warrior, the Achilles, and our other iron-cased ships, into short lengths, or sections, by means of water-tight bulkheads, running across them inter nally, the number of these in the Achilles being nearly 20, extending from the bottom up to the deck on which the guns are placed, In addition to these transverse bulkheads there are many others in various parts of the ship, so that the whole inte rior is divided into some scores of separate compart ments, into any one of which the sea may be ad mitted, by accident or design, without affecting to any great extent the floating properties of the ship. The value of this system of construction as a means of security is obvious, but on the other hand it is attended by enormous disadvantages, the chief of which undoubtedly consists in the divi sion of an iron ship into a number of isolated tanks, or air-tight wells, in which there is little or no ventilation. This serious disadvantage has en gaged the earnest attention of the Admiralty, and numerous appliances have been introduced into the iron ships with the object of securing the best light and ventilation possible, but with result] far from satisfactory. This unfortunate defect has hitherto been considered irremediable, not only in the ships already built, but also in those proposed to be con structed; and so strongly has this consideration pressed upon naval men that there is little doubt it goes a considerable way towards accounting for the great aversion which most of them undeniably feel towards the general introduction of iron into the navy. Happily, however, in the new iron-cased ship Bellerophon, which is now in hand at Chatham, the grave defects adverted to will, if not absolutely removed, be reduced to a minimum. Curi ously enough, the remedy for this evil, which has presented such a serious impediment to the general 1163 of iron in her Majesty's service, has been brought about by officials who have been generallysupposed as now appears, erroneously , to exert all their influ ence in favour of the contin ued and exclusive con struction of wooden ships, Admiral Robinson, the Controller of the Navy, and Mr. Reed, the new Chief Constructor, being, it is presumed, chiefly respon sible for the design of the Bellerophon. In the de signs for this vessel, for which the ironwork is now being prepared in Chatham Dockyard, the minute su bdivisions of the interior of the ships have been a lt o gether avoided, chiefly by the conjoint adoption, under new circumstances and with suitable modifi cations, of two inventions, both of which have already been separately used with great success— namely, the double bottom, w hi c h has proved of such immense value in the case of the Great Eastern, and the " unsinkable principle," which has been applied by Mr. Lungley, of Deptford, to the two Cape mail steamers, the Briton and the Roman. Throughout the entire central portion of the Belle rophon, in which the engines, boilers, magazines, sac., are placed, the bottom of the ship will be double,laced the inner and outer bottoms, or hulls , being p from three to four feet apart, in order that there may be a mple space between for cleaning and paint ing both as often as may be desirable. As this space between the two bottoms will be required for use, it will be divided into numerous watertight ' com partments in the usual manner, and will consequently form a series of buoyant cells, any one or more of which may be injured without the sea being ad mitted to the others or to the ship. Beyond the cen tral portion of the vess e l, at either end, Mr. Lung ley's plan will be introduced, the lower deck being used as an interior bottom, and the space below it made available for stowage by means of iron water tight trunks, rising above the water line. It is this combination of watertight trunks with watertight decks—the former being intended as a means for entering below the latter which constitutes " Lungley's unsinkable principle," by aid of which not only is the division of the vessel into watertight compartments accomplished without obstructing ven tilation, but the vertical trunks themselves form, 3 s will be readily understood, ventilating ap p a ratus of the best p oss ibl e ki n d.

The decision on the disputed race for the Cambridgeshire was this morning given by the stewards of the Jockey Club, and Catch'em-Alive declared to be the winner, Lord Westmoreland bowing to this sentence, and withdrawing his objection. We trust, therefore, that the matter is now at rest, and though we cannot compliment the authorities at what is termed '' the head-quarters" of the turf on the way in which the general arrangements of weighing, &c., are conducted there, we hope that, public attention having been directed to the subject, we may hear no more of a laxity of proceeding that would have brought discredit, if not ruin, on a provincial meeting. The D. I. Course always affords an interesting race, as being a distance likely to try the powers of the horses en gaged. To-day Baron Rothschild's top weight Wingrave made a good race of it with Mr. Saxon's Sweet Willie, the former winning by a neck. Almack repeated his Tuesday's performance by easily cutting down the horses in the Han dicap Sweepstakes, for which King of Utopia was made a warm favourite. It was thought that Carnival with Bst on him was a safe investment, but the winner turned up in the Giraffe colt, who ran close up in the Cambridgeshire, thereby proving the aunt acy of the running in that race. The remaining races call for no particular comment. A dead heat between Country Maid and Lady Derby for the Selling Handicap, the deciding one being won by Lord Westmoreland's filly; and Fanfaron's easy defeat of Tolurno in their match over the last mile and a half of the Cesarewirch. Course, wound up the day's racing. The approaching sale of the whole of Lord Stamford's racing stud was announced this morning. Subscription Handicap Plate of 50 soya; for 3-yr-olds and upwards. D.I.

They ran in these positions to the now ground, where Argonaut dropped back, and Petersham was in dulged with the lead, which ho retained for a few strides, when he was headed by Sweet Willie, who was joined at the Old Duke's Stand by the favourite, the pair finishing a close race home, Wingrave winning in the last stride by a neck; a bad third; the others were beaten off.

In these positions they ran into the dip, where the favourite disappeared from the front, and the lead was taken up by Queen of Trumps, in company with Villafranca, who carried it on to the cords, where Almack emerged from the ruck and headed the pair, and won a good race by three-quarters of a length, half a length between the second anc: third, and a neck separating the third and fourth.

The announcement of the unexpected death of Mr. William Cubitt, for Andover, will be v with general regr e t b y the public. Mr. Cubitto e ed was the Lord Mayor o f L ondon for two suc cessive years, and there has rarely been a Lord Mayor who has been so generally esteemed when omcocsutp unusual that office, his r e - e l ect i on in 1861—a a in a g sa al occurrence—bei ng i n i tself a sufficient proof of his popularity. Mr. Cubitt was the second son of Mr. Jonathan Cubitt, of Buxton, in Norfolk, where he was born in 179 1. His elder brother, Mr. Thomas Cubitt, was the celebrated builder of an extensive area of squares and s treets in Piml ico. He acquired a vast an d purchased th e magn i ficent estate of ne ar Dorking, from th e executors of Mr. D f o r e t n u b n i e e s , W. I. Denison, member for West Surrey ; and to the representation of West Surrey his eldest son, Mr. George Cubitt, succeeded in Match, 1860. Mr. William Cubitt was for a short time in the navy, and after a time returned home and was placed under his brother, who was much older than h i mse lf, and had by that time obtained a good po sition as a builder. For many years after that the brothers Cubitt carried on the business of builders and contractors on the highest scale. The reputa tion of the firm is its vast engagements, its great wealth, and its well-known liberal treatment of the workmen attached to it. Mr. Cubitt has for so me years retired fr om the firm, but when he was elected Lord Mayor in 1860 i n no place were the general as in the " o ld f amiliar place " 'e 2 's-inn-road. On Oa June, 1846, Mr. Willi am Cu bi tt, citizen and rejoicings so in Gray fi s hmonger, was el ec t e d s h erif f of London n joint s heriff of Middlesex, hi s co ll eague b eing a Me. Charles Hill, citizen and spectacle-maker." About a Month afterwards (July 28-9) Mr. Cubitt ousted, in company with a Conservative colleague, Mr. H. B. Coles, two Liberals from the repre sentation of Andover, The votes were—for Coles, 134; for Cubitt, 121 ; for Fellowes (Whig), 107 ; for Smith (Whig), 61. Mr. Cubitt, as own ing some property near Andover (Penton Lodge), has been successively returned for the borough; lat terly with a Liberal colleague, the Hon. Dudley Fortescue. I n July, 1861, Mr. Alderman CAW, being then Lord Mayor, was a candidate for the City of London —for the seat vacated by Lord John Russell, w ho had accepted an earldom. As Lord Mayors sell, Mr. Cubitt was undoubtedly most popular, d from his popularity the Conservati ve p arty cal caunlatedthat he would be easily returned. As may be remembered,therewas a great demonstration both for and against the Lord Mayor, who simply stated that he was in favour of free trade, and that he had voted for the admission of Jews to Parliament. It is well known that the election went against 111 r. Cubitt by a majority of 472, the votes being—for Mr. Western Wood, 5,460; for Mr. Cubitt, 5,168. In Parliament Mr. Cubitt was a Conservative. For five years, however, he voted for the abolition of church rates, because "he thought that a rate imposed on Dissenters who could not share in the ministrations of the Church was a grievance from which Dissenters ought to be relieved." He has latterly voted against the abolition of church rates, for he felt, as he said in 1861, on the City hustings, " that there was a chance of compromise." By all parties in the house Mr. Cubitt was universally re spected, and his unopposed return for his favourite borough of Andover, on the death of Mr. H. B. Coles, was heard of with much pleasure. In 1860 Mr. Cubitt was elected Lord The London, in succession to Alderman Carter.Af Cubitt Recorder told the Chief Baron truly that lar r. had " conducted his business with Mayor of singular intelli gence and success, and by his and kindness, had won from the the banquet ployed their affection and esteem:' Lord as a " Hamp g , r ,t e h a u t Au t e ss he em - Lord Palmerston eulogised Mr. Cubitt t. shire neighbour," and Mr. Gladstone warmly praised him for his " character and capsci y . For his ab ili t y and liberality during hi s mayoralty of 1860-61, Mr. Cubitt was proposed as Lord Mayor for 1861-62. His re-election was con tested,but was carried by 1,488 votes against Sir H. Muggeridge's 548, Sir Peter Laurie (who of course was not seriously intended for the office, but was joined as senior alderman with Lord Mayor Cubitt) polling 1,080 votes. The two or years of Mr. Cubitt' s may • alty are notewor thy for his liberality in genera l , and for the splendid hospitality he showed to the foreign ex hibitors and the members of the royal commissions who visited this country in 1862. He opened the subscriptions for the sufferers by the Hartley colliery explosion and for the Lancashire operatives.

Nicolson, C. 8., and Mr. Tnorntori a assistant master shipwright, inspected the prepara tions making, for building the armour-plated frigate Pallas on No. 6 slip. Arrangements were made for puttin g additi ona l wor k men on t h e ve..sel im mediately, so as to complete the frame as soon as possible. The other vacant bui ding slips were also examined, with a view to deter mine the size of the vessels which could be built upon them. Mr. Reed also inspected the several vest:e:s under repair, and arrangements were made for their speedy completion. He afterwards exa mined the Buff,do, iron steam storeship, in No. I dock, which is being coated internally with Dly's composition en one side, and Spencer's composition on the other, as an experiment. Her bottom is also being coated externally with Muntz's metal, on a p l an proposed by Mr. Griffith. The Chief Construc tor also inspected the new target and raft, weigh ing about 90 tons, which has been built at Wool wich for the purpose of testing the 300 pounder guns at Shoeburyness, and was then successfully launched at high water.

The following appointments have been made in the Royal Naval Rtserve:—Te• be Lieuts.—Joseph Leeman, Chas. Henry Sivell. To be Sub-Lieuts.— George Nelson Hector and Joseph Chas. Gilbert. Mr, Ferranti, M.P., and his Constituents. Mr. Ferrand, one of the parliamentary represen tative of .vonport, addre sse d some two thousand El of the inhabitants of that town on Wednesday night, and was enthusiastically r ece i ve d. I n a j u bil ant tone he praised the electors for placing him in his proud position, and plumed himself on having fought and won the battle of the independence of the borough, although opposed by the first naval Lord, sent down by "that tyrant," the Duke of Somerset, that the dockyard electors might be effectually coerced. The radicals had joined with the Conservatives in cheering when they first saw Mr. Ferrand enter the House, for they knew that an honest man had entered its portals. It was such a man that Sir Arthur Buller had vilified and tra duced—to defend himself from which attack Mr. Ferrand then spoke at length, explaining that the course he had taken with regard to the objectionable Admiralty note of 1861 was not, as alleged, "ex cessively mild," but that the questions put were searching, although without practical result. He, at least had done his best to obtain justice for the doeyardsmen, In proceeding te stow how ex tremely diligent and successful he herd been in pro moting the interests of his constituents, MrFerrand cited his speeches in favour of Sir J. Hay's motion for the redress of a naval grievance) in favour of the employment of Lancashire operatives in agriculture; and in favour of granting pen sions to hired artificers in the dockyards. Against the restriction of railway compensa tion to £100; against the grant for a Constan tinople architect, against the abolition of church rates, against the purchase of the land and building of the South Kensington Exhibition, and against the ballot had Mr. Ferrand voted, and the majority of the house had gone with him. He had opposed Mr. Reed's appointment as chief ship-constructor, for he had neither built a ship nor held responsible post in the navy yards. The question of super annuation of hired artificers would have been broneht forward by Mr. Ferrand had he not been away from England ; Mr. Hennessy did it for him. These and other domestic matters were touched upon discursively, and Mr. Ferrand's assertion, that he had been to the Davenport electors a first class representative, was received with vehement applause. Foreign topics were lightly handled, but the Whig government was roundly abused, in that it had cheated the country out of a reform bill; Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell carried matters their own way, and had forced or were p A u m sh er in ic g a, the country into seven pan wa N rs e ; with America, Affghanistan, China, Japan, New Zea- Zea land, Russia, an d Prussia.
