Ge neral, visited the city of Oxford. on Thursday, when be dined with the corporation. The dinner was given in compliment to the Mayor. Mr. Aldeiman Sadler presided. After the " Health of the Mayor," and the usual complimentary toasts, had been given, the chairm an proposed " the Health of th e city Members." Mr. LANGSTON first responded to the toast, and said he felt that his services were of a humble nature when contrasted with those of his hon. colleague, who, he was glad to find, still continued to be their repre sentative, although he feared at one t i me that he would be induced to accept a high office which was offered him; he was glad to find that he declined it, and that he (Mr. Langston) had such a colleague, and so long as the Solicitor-General represented that city, it would not want a friend to uphold its in terests.—(Cheers.) He congratulated them on the state of the country, which was more prosperous than it was last year, and every year led him to hope that that prosperity would continue to increase. For that state of things they were deeply indebted to the mea sures which had been introduced in the last few years, and every one who wished well to the country must be pleased to witness the beneficial effect which they had produced. With respect to the new Reform Bill, which was to be introduced next ses• sion, he reminded them that he had great pleasure in supporting the first Reform Bill ; and he had opposed various proposals only because that for a time there should not be an annual Reform Bill.—(Laughter.) Twenty years, however, bad elapsed since the passing of the first measure, and during that time great changes had taken place in every town; even in this city there was scarcely a house which before let for 101. that was not now re duced to 81. The remission of the duties on bricks and timber enabled persons to build cheaper; and if persons obtained houses at a less rate, they were equally entitled to be trusted with the franchise. He was, however, quite in the dark with respect to the measure about to be proposed, but, having voted for the extension of the suffrage, he trusted that it would be satisfactory, and pass into a law without encoun tering, that trouble or difficulty which attended the last Reform 13i11.—(Cheers.) The SOLICITOR -GENERAL said he felt more then ordinary gratification for the way in which they had received the toast, which had always been received with the same manifestation of feeling ; on each oc casion his Hon. Colleage had spoken of him in com plimentary terms, and he valued them as coming from one who was their long-tried representative, and, if he had valued such expressions from him and the company on former occasions, he did more so now, because he asked their confidence after taking a step which he had never dreamt of when he first appeared before them. When he first entered on public life, he did so mainly because he felt that it was the duty of every man who possessed the means to make himself useful in a free country, and to con tribute his best services towards the advancement of the public interest.—(Cheers.) That of which he was most apprehensive in a country advancing in civilization and art was a selfish feeling of luxuriance which appeared to be growing up among the younger I members of the community, and made them abstain from taking a part in public affairs. For that reason he did not enter into public life until he felt that it was his duty to do so, and until he had acquired an independence ; and, looking to the long connexion which his father had with Parliamentary life, he felt a desire to fill a similar important position. He was not indifferent to that reward—the approbation of those who sent him to Parliament ; but any other selfish object he never entertained when he sought their suffrages, and no one was more surprised than himself when office was offered to him. It happened that upon a motion made by Mr. Locke King for an extension of the suffrage, in favour of which he v o t e d the Government were defeated, and shortly after, in consequence of other defeats, the Ministry retired from office, and Lord Stanley was empowered to form an Administration, but declared his inability to construct a Cabinet. When Lord John Russell re accepted office, he stated that he bad prepared a mea sure of Parliamentary reform, which he had submitted to some of his colleagues, and intended to introduce, and it was after that declaration that the office of Solicitor-General, which was wholly unsought and unexpected, was offered to him, when he felt that it was right, upon the principle which guided him when he sought a seat in Par liament, to accept an office where he might be of greater public utility.—(Cheers.) He knew that if his constituents were not satisfied with his taking office they would hare the opportunity of expressing their dissatisfaction, because he could not accept office without appealing to them. He made that ap peal, and it was met without a dissentient voice, and he was enabled to say that he held office with the unanimous approbation of those who returned him to Parliament, and he pledged himself that be would hold it no longer than he could be useful to his country.—(Cheers.) It was true that he might have withdrawn from it, as a high and honourable office had been offered him in connexion with the court of law to which he had the honour to belong, and to which he was still attached.—(Cheers.) He felt that as a measure of reform was about to be propose, his proper place was in the House of Commons. He knew no more of that measure than his colleague, and it he did he would probably be unable to divulge it ; but he felt assured that Lord Juhn Russell would nut make a pledge which he would not fulfil to the very letter; and, whether or not it would meet with general acceptance, he was convinced it would be a substantial measure of enlargement of the franchise. —(Loud cheers.) He contrasted the present un paralled prosperous condition of the country with the period when he first solicited their suffrages, and when the most gloomy state of things prevailed. At that time the vast accumulation of capital tempted people to embark in large speculations, which brought on a commercial crisis, which involved in ruin many large firms which were based on a rotten foundation, and fell when the first touchstone was applied. There was then a famine in the sister country, and a fearful plague prevailing in this, in addition to which provisions rose to such a price that a loaf was then sold for 11 d, which could be pur chased for 4id. now. It was impossible to have a more gloomy state of things, but it was some satisfac tion to know that they were struck by the hand of God, and not by the hand of man. At the present moment he believed that the whole mass of the com munity never was in so flourishing a condition ; they had been blessed with abundance, were free from dis tress, and had a surplus revenue. The removal of the brick duties had caused more substantial houses to be substituted for those of lath and plaster, and added to the comfort of the labouring classes, while through out the whole extent of the country they bad bane nefited greatly by the cheapness of provisions, and employment had beenniore general, as was evinced by the fact that there were from 15 to 17 per cent. fewer inmates in the workhouses than there were last year. In addition to that they had had the window-tax taken off; which could not fail to promote their ge neral health and comfort. The representatives were not insensible to the necessity of a reduction of ex penditure, but they knew the difficulty of providi ng for the security of the empire, and the dangers that would accrue if that security were not given ; but, notwithstanding that, the expenditure had been diminished by 3,000,0001. per annum.—(Cheers.) They had a great surplus, and would have a still greater one. But he regretted to find that there was one class—the agriculturists—wh o were labouring under depression. It was difficult to devise a remedy for it ; and Mr. Henley had admitted that he could not see at the present moment such an amount of facts as would justify a reversal of that free trade policy of which they complained. It was, however, encouraging to know that the various interests of this country were so blended that one could not continue to prosper without the other participating in that prosperity ; and therefore he believed that the agri cultural class would, ere long, share in that prosperity which other interests enjoyed. If, as he firmly be lieved, the large mass of the people was in a pros perous and the labouring classes fewer employ, t e r st w ifY as set fair, . that they were perfectly justified in continuing p re u v r e s r u si e n a g p i o t. l — icy (C u h n e t e il rs.) fact T s he ar b o a s r e o c,,,° justify arise and the their workhouses, them considered in ells but no one could tell what storm mig ht place the present state of affairs. They knew the e ff ec t this country to escape the disasters whi c h t h en pre of the last French Revolution, and nothing enabl e d in the stability o f institutions, which veiled in almost every pert of Europe but the theirconfi dencei confi dence had been increased by the steps which were taken 18 years previously to reform those institutions. He had never been a destructive, but he believed that the best conservatism was to keep their institu tions in a progressive state, to watch the inroads made in them by time, to adapt them to the age, and to be prepared to meet those difficulties which had befallen other countries, and which might at any mo ment befall their own.--(Cheers.) Whatever might be their views of the course which he had adopted, his object had always been to strengthen and ex pand their institutions to the mind of the people, whose skill and energy had been brought to a climax in the Great Exhibition.—(Cheers.) That Exhibi tion bad shown the advance of intellect in this coun try, end they had reason to be thankful that the period had arrived when the great bulk of t th e people The was enjoying a large amount of prosperity. dustry, to witness their institutions, and theircheers regard and . If i had invited the whole world to compete with their in for them and their Sovereign.—( they were but true to themselves, and pursued the right course, studying the intere sts of the co mmun i ty , end exciting their industry, it would have the effect not only of promoting loyalty and obedie nce t o th e ' ed with their lot, and to do their people to be content law, but afford the greatest encouragement to a duty is that station of life ia whiola it had pleased N°.18,421,] LONDON TUESDAY 1. ) . ..,:., , _.., _. iL,- , tl 9 OCTOBER 7 5 1851.

THE COURT-MARTIAL AT STONEHOUSE.—A court assembled at the Royal Marine Barracks, Stonehouse, on Saturday last, for the trial of First Lieutenant Charles Thomas Forest Onslow, on a charge of in toxication while on duty. On the opening of the court a question was raised on the informality of the Admiralty warrant, in the latter part of which an error in the Christian name of the prisoner was dis covered. The court was in consequence ordered to be cleared, and on its being re-opened was adjourned sine die. APPOINTMENTS. Chaplain—Rev. J. R. Moffat (1847), to the Rod ney, 92, Portsmouth.

The Ocean, freight-ship, is expected at this port, to take in pro visions from the Royal William Victualling-yard, for the Cape of Good Hope. WOOLWICEI, OCT. 6.—The Monkey steam-vessel, took the Lady Franklin, sailing vessel, recently com manded by Captain Penny, in tow this morning and proceeded with her for Chatham. __ _ _ Commander Henry Eden, Mr. Macdonald, master attendant (who has just returned from leave of ab sence), Mr. Lang, master shipwright, Mr. Atherton, chief engineer, Mr. John Penn, of marine engine celebrity, and Mr. F. P. Smith, inventor of the screw propeller, with a number of gentlemen, attended in the chain-testing room in the dockyard to-day to witness experiments with a new decription of chains submitted by a Monsieur Sisco, a native of France, the Lords of the Admiralty having ordered that every facility should be afforded of ascertaining their quality and value compared with the chains now in use in her Majesty's service. The new chains are made of common hoop-iron of the breadth required, and wound on a reel by machinery into an oval shape and to the same breadth as the outer surface, which is rounded off after the whole has been brazed in passing through a furnace of molten metal. The usual test of an iron chain for naval ser vice of two inches in diameter is 72 tons strain, but many links break with the application of far less power, and vet the other ports of the chain are found qualified to pass the required ordeal. M. Sisco's chain of two inches broad and two inches thick, with stays in the centre of each of the two links, was plac of placed in the iin e testing-frame, e diameter, attached to the testing chaina hydraulic power being applied, one of the links was length ened five-eights of an inch and the other one eigth of an inch, when it reached a strain of 110 tons, and the 2: 1 5 inch testing-chain broke off in two places when the strain reached 114 tons. The hoop-iron chain had some openings in one of the links, which had been imperfectly brazed, but it did;not appear to have been made otherwise defective. One link of the same dimensions, two inches thick and two inches broad, was afterwards placed in the testing frame, and when a strain of 70 tons was applied it had lengthened one-twelfth of an inch; with 80 tons, one-eighth of an inch ; with 100 tons, three-sixteenths; with 110 tons, one-fourth of an inch ; with 115 tons, five-sixteenths ; and when it resisted 120 tons strain it was considered advisable not to continue the strain, as it was so great as to loosen the stone frame on which the machine rested, and liable to damage other parts of the powerful iron-frame of the machine. The strain applied on this occasion was one ton more than had ever been previously applied, and the hoop chain was only slightly opened on one side. When te i n n hho q oatu u iecg ir soh i se e t s et were made as to the price at which the hoop moreu he l d i r supplied,b h e opledrinegw pt .o wt it he ar w ns a wt s he s er t e a e t se e om d n am t h ue a cn t h t e h gh e ra y would greater chains, ran. proportion. 1 3 ORTSMOUTII, MONDAY.—The Right Hon.

FOREIGN EELS.- —An importation of several pack ages of eels has just taken place, by a vessel arrived from Prince Edward's IF ,land. We are not aware of a previous importation of eels from this distant part of the world, and the arrival is ther Dfore of some interest and importance. enied_t proosopder e o m u o s ceived. W e are curious to know on what tack they will now g o . Th ey will, we fancy, be constrained for v ery d ecency ' s sake, to admit that the country is rather n s a t t r a p t i r v e e sen to t. beldVispdun.ot I s t ee wo h u o l v i i d they can d o otherwise. The fact is e too o ted palpable to be be an utterly hopeless thing to attempt to convince the country that it is not now in a healthy and happy condition. It w il l, therefore, be their wiser course to make that admission unreservedly and at once. The only sustenance that we can see for their croaking dispositions i s i n t h e future. That they may picture in as gloo m y colours as they please. No one can contradict them there. We have no facts to marshal against their predictions. No one can tell to a cer tainty what may be the condition of the country two or three years hence. For at le as t one year, humanly speaking, we are safe. We have a pr esen t certainty of twelve months' unparalleled prosperity before us. The class, there, to whom We allude, whoese very existence is wrapped up in gloom and disaster, should apply themselves to the portraiture of the state in which matters may be some few years hence. Let their imaginations be exercised on the apprehended calamities which will befal the country in 1854 or 1855. They may affirm with impunity that before we have seen the end of either of these years, Eng land will b e i nvo l ve d i n utter and irretrievable ruin. These persons have at least the authority of one well-known individual for the adoption of this course. Mr. Henry Drummond, the Member for West Surrey, has set them an example. Compelled to give up the idea of clinging any longer to the by.. pothesis, that the country is at this moment on th e t verge of ruin, Mr. D rummon d h as b e thought himself of postponing the catastrophe, which was sure to follow the repeal of the corn-laws, till some future time. He does not commit himself to any definite period for the distressing occurrence. In this he acts wisely. It is to come some day. But on what day, deponent sayeth not. He does not even name the year. It was to have happened before now ; but it has not happened. Mr. Drummond postpones the period of its occurrence with the same easy, cool facility with which the Irishmen of St. Giles's, seven or eight years ago, postponed the day on which Lon don was to be swallowed up by an earthquake. IVith the croaking section of the community, we are willing to do a stroke of business. If they give us up the present, we shall give them up the future. If they admit that just now the country is in a state of unexampled prosperity, we can have no hesitation in admitting, that some time or other grievous disasters may befal Great Britain. Let those that feel so disposed brood over the future. Let them picture to their own minds, the time to come, in the most sombre colours which can occur to their imaginations. We are too thankful for the pre sent, to suffer our sense of the blessings we now enjoy, to be impaired by the contemplation of what is within the range of possibility at some distant, inde finite day. As to the cause of the unparalleled pros perity which pervades every branch of trade and commerce, there cannot be two opinions. Free trade has done it all. That which we were assured was to precipitate a crisis in the financial and commercial condition of the country, as well as drive all the farmers into the Gazette, and send the landlords, in the lump, to the workhouse, is now proved to have been the means of saving the country. Under the ascendancy of Protection, England, in all its interests —its agricultural interests among the number—was rapidly hurrying to ruin. Just at the critical moment, when a longer persistence in a restrictive com mercial policy would have proved fatal, Sir Ro bert Peel resolved on reversing that policy. He made up his mind to do it at all hazards. He was the only man in her Majesty's domi nions that was competent for the task. He set about the work directly. He applied himself to it with a self-sacrifice, both in regard to his ease and to his party and personal friendships, of the greatness of which none but himself could form any idea. He accomplished it in defiance of an opposition the most formidable which ever any Minister had to encounter. The greatness of the boon which he coferred on the country is now beginning to be seen and felt by all. Of the benefits of which his great free-trade measures are destined to be productive in the future, it would not be possible to form an exaggerated notion. There is just only one drawback to the pleasure with which the country looks batik on those free-trade measures which are now spreading plenty and producing prosperity among all classes of the community. The illustrious author of those measures is no longer susceptible of the gratification which a nation's admi ration and a nation's gratitude could not fail to have afforded hint. He has been snatched from our midst just when he was beginning to be seen by all in the light of a great benefactor. Had he but lived until now—had his life been prolonged for one year more, it is easy to perceive with what inexpressible delight he would have looked around him, and beheld in all parts of the country, and among all classes of her Majesty's subjects, that unprecedented prosperity of whieh his policy has been productive.

TIMES.—The Arctic expeditions have now re turned to report their successes in the search after Sir John Franklin and his companions. Without attempting any simplification of the discoveries or conjectures of their several commanders—which in deed would be no easy task—we think the time has arrived for some general review of our proceedings and some deliberate reflection on the course which it may befit the Government of this country to adopt. The exertions made to accomplish the object in view have been in the highest degree meritorious. We have had expeditions fitted out by the nation with all the resources of our arsenals and all the aids of scieisce, and intrusted to some of the best officers in the service of the Queen. We have had other expeditions dispatched through the zeal and liberality of individuals, and large rewards, independent of honour and distinction, have been offered to stimulate that private enterprise which so often outstrips the most strenuous public efforts. The Hudson's Bay Company have concen trated on the same object all the extraordinary means at their disposal on the spot. They have sent out exploring companies, effected communications with natives, maintained signal stations, and distrib u t e d over air and sea notifi ca ti ons o f the pending search. Neither has American hardihood been withheld from the work. 'We are sometimes surpassed by our kins men of the States in acts of venturesome audacity, but on this occasion they have made common cause with ourselves and shared the common success of the experiment. In fact, the one great object of English men and Americans, Queen's ships and merchant ships, whalers, cruisers, a n d vo l un t eers, i n t h ese parts, has been to discover some trace of our missing navi gators. It would be difficult, in short, to suggest ; any scheme for attaining our ends which has not been already put in practice. Such being the case, what up to the present moment has been the result of our exertions ? We speak without any wish to discourage when we say that it is almost nothing at all. Even the latest and best ordered expeditions have hardly in creased our knowledge in any material respect. It was rendered probable some time ago that Sir John Franklin's fate had not been that which was at first anticipated, and that he passed at least one winter in safety upon the ice. But beyond this point our in formation has not proceeded. There is not even a general agreement as to the path which the missing expedition probably took, the fortune it has probably experienced, or the direction in which the search may be best renewed. We are, in fact, no wiser than we were before, and all our recent exertions have ' gone virtually for nothing. It is with no kind of satisfaction that we record these conclusions, but we do not see how it is possible to maintain that any material point has been gained by our tenacious per severance and untiring zeal. Under these circum stances the next duties of Government become a se rious question for consideration. If it befits a nation like ours to spare no efforts in such a rescue as this, it also unquestionably befits us to regulate our efforts by some definite plan, and to carry them only to such a point as sound reason may dictate. As regards the original character and purpose of those " Arctic ex peditions" which originated our present perplexities we conceive there can hardly be two opinions sur viving. The very case before us shows what we may too probably lose, and every year's experience has taught us the little we could gain. The old idea of a "North-west passage," and its importance to Euro pean navigation, must have been long since exploded. Nothing could be clearer, even before the departure of Sir John Franklin, than that no such passage could possibly exist under any available conditions. Whether it was or was not practicable for a particular expedie tion to force a way from Baffin's Bay to Behring's Straits might, perhaps, be an edifying geographical enigma, but it was at any rate no practical question. There could never be a passage for vessels of com merce, nor could any substantial interests be concerned in the result. It was utterly impossible that any per manent way could be maintained through such regions as these. Whether the communication between ocean and ocean was intercepted by solid land or perpetual ice signified but little, so long as the impediment was so manifest and insuperable. In the present day the problem would hardly command even a speculative interest. 'We have learnt to deal with the globe most comprehensively. We manipulate the planet which we inhabit as a child plays with the ball. We not only put a "girdle round the earth," but we try it in twenty different forms, taking oceans and conti nents for nothing in our computations. Whether we shall reach the Antipodes by a western or an eastern passage is at this moment a matter of debate. We are told that we shall get to Calcutta in twelve days, and to China in little more than a fortnight, while steamers are already plying between the great At lantic and the great Pacific. Yet amidst all this ex perimental voyaging nobody has ever conceived that the Pclar Sea could become a highway, or that the best course to California would be by Behring's Straits. The problem of the north-west passage is as obsolete as the quadrature of the circle, and we can only now lament that so much has been staked on its solution. But though we do not think the geogra phical importance of these expeditions commensurable with the cost or exposure of a single sloop's crew, we unhesitatingly admit that our obligation to rescue those who have been dispatched on the enter prise is of a very different magnitude. It signifies supremely little whether Boethia Felix is a penin sula, an island, or a gulf—in fact, it seems not im probable that it may be all three in turn, according as the " land" of these parts acquires or loses consis tency from the influence of the season. But it does import most emphatically to our national honour that we should ascertain the fate of our missing country men, and redeem them, if living, from the dangers to which they have been consigned. As. yet we have made no substantial progress in the attempt; and it becomes us, therefore, at this conjuncture, with the prospect of another expedition in the ensuing spring, to revise our plans of action, and endeavour to put the work in a satisfactory shape for completion in some way or other. In the first place, that no time may be con sumed in useless explorations, it is clearly advisable to decide, according to the best opinions, what are the particular localities in which there is any probability of our obtaining the information we desire. Hitherto we seem to have been merely groping in the ice upon the speculation of coming somewhere or other upon some traces to guide us. But our Arctic navigators are now a numerous body, and their experience should enable them at least to point out what parts should be searched and what passed by. When this decision shall have been arrived at, we conceive it would be desirable to invest the officers dispatched on the expe dition with as large a discretion as possible. Let them be well furnished, well appointed, and well sup ported, and then let them employ the resources at their disposal in any way suggested by actual cir cumstances. We suggest, too, that our efforts might be maintained with a little more continuous perseve rance. As it is certainly not impracticable, and not absolutely unsafe, to winter on the ice, it seems unfortunate that any ships should have been compelled by their instructions to return home with eighteen months' provisions still remaining, and with both vessels and crews in good working order. We shall never attain our end by sailing up to the ice and then sailing back again. There is a point in these expeditions which must needs be discernible enough to an experienced commander beyond which it is un advisable to proceed, and that point therefore should be reached as quickly and as effectually as possible. The exact limit cannot be defined in the offices of the Admiralty ; it can only be ascertained on the spot, and carte blanche should be accordingly given to the officers employed. The problem is one which de pends entirely upon individual resolution and discre • tion. If good men are selected, ample resources fur nished, and full liberty of action allowed, we could hardly fail of arriving at some conclusive decision, and this course we consider should be adopted forthwith. We can only trust that the result might be the resto ration of Sir John Franklin to his country ; butin any case we hope that these efforts may terminate the na tional propensity for Arctic expeditions. ADVERTISER.—The article which we yester day copied from a Sunday paper, which has access to official information, relative to the state of the forth coming quarter's revenue, will have been read with much gratification by all classes, save one. Th e ex ceptional class are the habitual croakers —a se t o f men who exist in all countries, but who are just now particularly numerous in England. These men live on disasters. National reverses are the aliment of their souls. Without something calamitous, either real or imaginary, they could not manage to live at all. They are, happily for themselves, men of fertile imaginations-30 that where they have no real evils on which to feed, they can fancy that they are sur rounded by them. There is, fortunately for all but themselves, abundant room for the exercise, just now, of the wits of these persons. They never had greater need to call their imaginative faculties into play ; for there never was a time when appearances and pro spects were so much against them. They must have felt sadly disappointed and fearfully crest-fallen, when they read the anticipations of our Sunday contem porary,i resp ec ti ng th e revenue returns , w hi c h w) I be laid before the country next Friday—the word anticipations being, in this instance, synonymous with :actual facts.
