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 ot the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 600 beds available for the reception of these the most wrched of our fellow -creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously aficrds medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued suppqrt, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

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 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 Cesarewicch 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 sovs; for 3-yr-olds and upwards. D.I.

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 and third, and a neck separating the third and fourth.

The Duke of Newcastle on Oxford Local and the character of the schoolmasters 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 —that class where " Com mercial" was written up in gold letters on a magnificent ground, and where what used to be called by the odious nam e "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 F 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 for the discharge of his duties, but a man who had tried all other professional pursuits and failed. (Hear.) It was a poor good man who had failed in the grocery business, or it was 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.) Thoy transferred from their o wn 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,eenlikely speaking— viz., smattering that only m a d e th e youth on entering l to become one of th e very class of which he had b viz., those i m b ue d w i th van i ty, on account of the very little knowledge which th 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, notwithstanding that they would all have their own trials and difficulties before them. must not sticcumb to them. There was nothing more there was nothing more honourable, there was nothing capable of giving higher gratification:than a hard s t r uggle 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 m ight 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 w hich, next to one, was the greatest they could re ceive.—the approval of their consciences. (Loud and pro longed cheers.) They must c; 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 Jan'nary, 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 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 would find the proportions exactly reversed as far as the selections were concerned. That must have arisen from ono 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, e 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 them 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 ho believed that that was a most imag i nar y objection. There was another which perhaps had more plausibility. and that was that it led to cramming. N ow , that undoubtedly must att end any examination which took plaet under almost any circumstances. He believed that if there ;vas a syst em o f 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 he was not one of those who were pre pared to stand up for crammin g s t rongly ; on the contrary, he admitted that it had it s ev il , and that it was mos t unpleasant. lie 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, f oun d himself thw ar t e d 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 s u bj ect for which he had been toiling so long. But, if ho 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 th e i ndividual him self, he was quite sure that nothing but good could re suit from it. He was, nodoubt,a3 himself with ollng man who would that persevnot exert himself and apply Br 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 c onsiderable proportion, even for years, of that learning which, no doubt, if more steadily and better acquired, would remain 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 ould 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. New, in the first place, he 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, ho 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 beggedto say, al. 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. looked um that eve greatly ucivrvalwxt tb,9 stMis PR1C11.........4d.

When he resigned his aldermanic gown he thought proper to resign his presidentship. 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 Elizabeth, 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 011iffe, XD., physician to the British Embassy in Paris, 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. Death of Mr. Cubitt, MP. The constituency of Andover consists of the cor poration, the freemen, and the £lO householders. The population is 5,430, and the registered electors amount to 240. The announcement of the unexpected death of Mr. William Cubitt, M.P. for Andover, will be received with general regret by the public. Mr. Cubitt was the Lord Mayor of London for two suc cessive years, and there has rarely been a Lord Mayor who has been so generally esteemed when his r e - e l ect i on in 1861—a occupying that office, 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 1 791. His elder brother, Mr. Thomas Cubitt, was the celebrated builder of an extensive area of squares and streets in Pimlico. He acquired a vast and purchased th e fortune, magnificent estate of Denbies, near Dorking, from the executors of Mr. W. I . Denison, member for West Surrey ; and to the representation of West Surrey his eldest son, Mr. George Cubitt, succeeded in March, 1860. Mr. William Cubitt was for a short time in the navy, an d 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 a air. 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), Las been successively returned for the borough, lat terly with a Liberal colleague, the Hon. Dudley Fortescue. In July, 1861, Mr. Alderman Cubitt, 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 Lard 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, 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 favouriteß borough of Andover, on the death of Mr. IL Coles, was heard of with much pleasure. In 1860 Mr. Cubitt was elected Lord Mayor of The London, in succession to Alderman Carter, T Recorder told the Chief Baron truly that Mr. Cubitt had "conducted his business with singular intelli gence and success, and by his gre at c onsideration and kindness, had won from the t h ousands he em ployed their affection and estee m." At the banquet Lord Palmerston eulogised Mr. Cubitt as a " H emp Gladstone warmly prai se d shire neighbour," and Mr. Gladstone him for his " c haracter and capacity." Fur his ability and liberality during his mayoralty of 1 860-61, Mr. Cubitt was p ropose d as Lord Mayor for 1861-62. His re-election was eon tes'ed,but was carried by 1,488 votes against Sir H. Muggeridge'a 548, Sir Peter Laurie (who of course was not seriously intended for the office, but was joined as senior alderman with Lord Mayor CAW) 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 sufferers by the Hartley colliery explosion and for the Lancashire operatives.

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 ofstrength, 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 tho 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 CANTERBURY HALL " GHOST."—I n or der to gratify the curiosity of nightly-increasing crowds, Mr. C. MORTON has transferred the representation of Pro fessor Pepper and HenryDircks, Esq.'s, world-famed spectral Illusion, - THE GHOST," to the Concert Hall, where a new and elegant stage is erected, affording a more ample view of the Illusion from Stalls, Balcony, and body of the Hall. He has also arranged for Mr. A. Silvester to give (with all that gentleman's latest improvements and effects), REPRESENTATIONS EACH EV.ENING, at half-past Nine o'clock. • 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 pass two or three years of their life. Unlike a wooden vessel of war, the bottom of an iron ship is 53 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 :hese transverse bulkheads there are many others n 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 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 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 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 i s presumed, chiefly respon sible for the design of the Bellerophon. In the de signs for this vessel, for which the ironwork is now b e i n g prepared in Chatham Dockyard, the minute subdivisions of the interior of the ships have been altogether avoided, chiefly by the'conjoint adoption, under new circumstances and with suitable modifi cations, of two inventions, both of which have already b ee n 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 " uns inkable p rin c i ple," 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, b o il ers, magazines, & c ., ar e placed, the bottom of the ship will be do u bl e, the inner and outer bottoms, or hulls, being placed from three to fou r feet apart, in order th at there ma y 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 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 vessel, at either end, Mr. Lung ley's plan will be introduced, the lower deck being used as an interior bottom, and the space belo w it made available f or 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, as will be readily understood, ventilating apparatu s of the best possible kind. In addition to what has been already described, the Bellerophon will be con structed with water-tight internal walls, complet ing the double bottom, and thus will , in fact, be With this made a double ship from end t o end. system of construction the nece ssity forin , te s r in n e a e l bulkheads is almost entirely done away with, no ordinary injury co uld in anyjeopardise the safety the Bellerophon, however, it , of a ship so built. _ • pre. has apparently been determined that no possible caution shall be spared to render her secure from any accident whate ver, an d she is accordingly + f be Ur ni f e w bulkheads of the ordinary kind, but these will be so placed as not to int er f ere with shed with s ome the free and a mple circulation of ai r th roughout the s hip, so that it may be fairly anticipated that the neyr frigate, which, with her heavy armour and All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual, including Operatic Selections, &c. ; Comedy by Unsworth (the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George Hodson, E.

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 Bailer 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. Ia proceeding to show how ex tremely diligent and successful he had 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 poet in the navy yards. The question of lightly Rss add super annuation of hired artificers would have been brought forward by Mr. Ferrand had he not b een away from England; Mr. Hennessy did it f or hi m. upon discursively, and Mr. Ferrand' s assert i on, btuhtatthhee WhandigbegeonvteorntmheeuDtelvvoansproorutuedlleyetoarhsuasefidr,sti-u t e h l nest it s hed eh representative, ea cheated the es countryreceived outof with a e h reforme m ent matters These a n t d h e o i r t h own w r egnr d n sotwmotopics d were Lord matters u were e l hlcarriednitouchede and had for ce d or were pushing the Ame rica, Affghanistan, China, wars with be ahort,for w h en Parliam Japa n, g b a i p l p l :au: o e r . dr.
