London : John Maxwell and Co., 122, Fleet-street. 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 he 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 prcjudices even if they would—of any dissenting sec.- 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 woula find the proportions exactly reversed as far as the selections were concerned. That must have arieen 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 preficiency 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.) lie 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 them for the important avocations of life. 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 ate 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, it was impossible to prevent it. It existed to a very great extent, no doubt, in competitive examinations for offices under the Government, and ho was not one of those who were 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 i nstrumentality 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 wh o wou ld not exert himself and apply himself with that persever ing industry which, in the long run, would be the re ward of every man, and he 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 rema 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 place, he hoped and believed that there were not many masters who would Le 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 and 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.) He should only say that he thought it most honourable to the schoolmasters of this country—and he was speaking, he begged to 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 labours so disinterestedly on the rising 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 the re was a h ope t h at to avery 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 snore particularly b w y r i t t h t e a n t u n p a m i n e— g e t i h ; a t l e tctlearsss onw h a e re Com mercial"magnificent ground, and where what used to be called by the odious n ame "Genteel education" was duly administered under • some 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 had I t t r i N e v d as al a l poo r good man who had failed in the grocery business, or it o fo t r h t e b r e p d ro is f e e b ss a i r o g n e al o p f u h rs ba u d i n ts tie n ad bu f t ai a led m . an (H wh ea n r.) was an equally worthy man who had made some-unfortun ate s peculation in the oil and colour trade.

(" Hear," and cheers.) They transferred from their awn well kept ledgers those beautiful specimens of copper plate handwr itin g to t he copybooks of their pupils, but b eyon d that he really believed that a great number of th e i r scholars knew nothing but the merest smattering of know ledge, s mattering that only made the youth on entering life lik e ly to become one of the very cla ss o f w hi c h h e h a d been speaking—viz., those imb ue d w ith van it y, on account ofvery little knowledg e w hi c h t h ey possesse d .

In conclusion, he could most gladly wish 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, no t w i t h stan di ng t h at t h ey wou ld all have their own tri a l s an d difficulties before them.

(Loud and pro longed cheers.) Th e an nouncement of the unexpected death of AlrWillieel eubitt' M.P. f or Andover, will be roceived with general regret by th e public. Mr. Cubitt was the Lord Mayor of London for two suc cessive years, and there has rarely been a Lord Mayor w ho has been so generally esteemed when occupying that office, his re-election in 1861—a most unusual occurrence—being in itself 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 1791. His elder brother, Mr. Thomas Cubitt, was the celebrated builder of an extensive area of squares and streets in Pimlico. He acquired a vast fortune, and purchased the magnificent estate of Denbies, near Dorking, from the executors of Mr. W. J. 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 himself, 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 groat wealth, and its well-known liberal treatment of the workmen attached to it. Mr. Cubitt has for some years retired from the firm, but when he was elected Lord Mayor in 1860 in no place, were the rejoicings so general as in the "old familiar place" in Gray's-inn-road. On the 24th of June, 1846, Mr. William Cubitt, citizen and fishmonger, was elected sheriff of London and joint sheriff of Middlesex, his colleague being " Mr. 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. In July, 1861, Mr, Alderman Cabitt, being then Lord Mayor, was a candidate for the City of London —for the seat vacated by Lord John Russell, who had accepted an earldom. As Lord Mayor Mr. Cubitt was undoubtedly most popular, and from his popularity the Conservative party cal culated that 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 Mr. Cubitt by a majority of 472, the votes being—for Mr. Western Wood, 5,460; for Mr. Cubitt, 6,168. 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. Cabitt 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. r of In 1860 Mr. Cubitt was elected Lord Ma y London, in succession to Alderman Carter. The Recorder told the Chief Baron truly th at Mr. Cubitt had "conducted his business with. s ingular intelli gence and success, and by his great consideration and kindness, had won from the th ou sands he em ployed their affection and esteem." At the banquet Lord Palmerston eulogised Mr. Cubitt as a Hemp shire neighbour," and Mr. Gladstone warmly prais e d him for his "character and capacity. For his ability and liberalit y during hi s mayoralty of 1860-61, Mr. Cubitt was proposed a s Lord Mayor for 1861-62. His re-election Was non teszed,but was carried by 1,488 votes against Si r H . m egger id g e'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 years of Mr. Cubitt's mayoralty are noteworthy for his liberality in general, 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 ff su arers by the Hartley colliery explosion and for the Lancashire operatives. He was one of the leading members of the committee for the national memorial to the Prince Consort, and J //_,f STAMPED ....6d. in that capacity received the approval of the Queen for his zeal and activity. _ _ Mr. Cubitt was elected, as an alderman, governor of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. When he resigned his aldermanie gown he thought proper to resign his pre*identship. A contest arose between the donation governors and the foundation governors, the latter being the aldermen, and the election ended in the return of Mr. Cubitt. By his wife Thiz tbeth, second daughter of Mr. William Scarlett (she died in 1854), he leaves sur viving issue two daughters—one of whom is the wife of Sir Joseph 011iffo, M.D., physician to the British Embassy in P.tri, and the other is the wife of a son of the late Alderman 'Humphrey. These two ladies were in turn Lady Mayoresses during their father's occupancy of the office. ' The constituency of Andover consists of the cor poration, the freemen, and the £lO householders.

The building of the new iron war 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 iron 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. Ore 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 which 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 ['ass two or three years of their life. Unlike a wooden vessel of war, the bottom of an iron ship is so 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 is 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 results 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 se 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 use of iron in her Majesty's service, has been brought about by officials who have been generally supposed, as now appears, erroneously, to exert all their influ ence in favour of the continued 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 subdivisions of the interior of the ships have been altogether avoided, c hiefly 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, which has proved of such immense value in the case of the Great Eastern, and the " unsinkable principle," which has been a pplied by 14r. Langley, 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, & e ., are placed, the bottom of the ship will be double, the inner an d outer bottoms, or h ulls, being plac e d f ro m three to four feet apart, in order that there may be ample 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 us e , it will be divided into numerou s watertight com partments in the usual manner, and will consequently form a series of buoyant cells, any one or more of w hich may be injured without the sea being ad mitted to the others o r t o t h e ship cen tral portion of the v esse l , Beyond the , 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 rising for above stowage by means of iron water tight trunks, the water line. It is this combination fonorfmwe being watertight trunks with watertight decks--the intended as a means for entering b e l ow the latter which constitutes " Lungley's unsinkable principle," by aid of which not only is the division of the vessel into watertight compartments accomp fished without obst meting ven - tilation, but the vertical trunks themselves form, as will be readily understood, ventilating apparatus of the best possible kind. In addition to what has been already described, the Bellerophon will be con structed with water-tight internal wall s..nfact, be complet ing the double bottom, and thus will, With this 11, ' made a double ship from end to e e 7 l system of construction th e Ilece s sy for internal bulkheads is almost entire l y dope away with, since pardise the safety 110 ordinary injury could n Bellerophon, however, it 9n of a ship so built.

It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

The decision on the disputed race for the Cambridgeshire was this morning given by the stewards of the Jockey Club, and Catch'em-Alive declartd t 6 be thirWirtter, 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 Bothschild'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 accuracy 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 Ccsarewhch Course, wound up the day's racing. The approaching sale of the whole of Loz a Stamford's racing stud was announced this morning. Subscription Handicap Plate of 50 sovs ; for 3-yr-olds and upwards. D.I.

The principle now for the first time introduced into the navy will, there is little doubt, be carried out in the construction of tt oop and passenger ships, for which the system is even imore completely adapted. Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor of the navy, visited Woolwich Dockyard on Wednesday, arid, accompanied by the Commodore Superintendent, Sir F. W. E. Nicoison, C. 8., and Mr. Thornton, assist L ‘nt master shipwright, inspected the prepara rions ina,ek.Trig for building the armour-plated frigate Pallas on ATo. 6 slip.

Mr. Reed also irtspected the sevee•al vessels under repair, and arranwements were led.:e - rt, for their speedy completion. He Afterwards exa mined the Buffilo, iron steam storeship, in No. 1 dock, which is being c oated interuall; with Day's co mposition on 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 plan proposed by Mr. Griffith.

Mr, Ferrand, M.P., and his Constituents Mr. Ferrand, one of the parliamentary represen tative of Devonport, addressed some two thousand of the inhabitants of that townon Wednesday night, and was enthusiastically received. In a jubilant 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 docyardsmen. In proceeding t) st:ow . how ex tremely diligent and successful he had bern in pro moting the interests of his constituents, MrYcrrand cited his speeches in favour of Sir J. Hay's :notion for the redress of a naval grievance ; in favo lr of the employment of Lancashirp „pperatives in agriculture; and in favour • iVtititt.tiVe4iNirr; sloes to hired artificers in the dockyards. Against the restriction of railway cqmpensa tion to £lOO ; 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 ba'dot 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 brought 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 Devonport electors a first: class representative, was re.csc,eeirveedlio.l'ittlhyvbbehanemdleend.t, applause.
