Eborall, and Mr. James Grant. The Prime Warden, (Mr. Frazer B. Henshaw) occupied the chair, ,and dis pensed the hospitalities on the occasion. Several distinguished personages, among others Lord Jus tice Cairns and Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, had acc,:pted invitations, but afterwards ex cuse d themselves—sotne on the ground of the reassem bling of Parliament, and the entertainment in consequence lacked much of the interest it might otherwise have possessed. The dinner was served with all the sumptuous hospitality for which the company has long been famous. Sir H. Bruce, in responding to the toast of " The House of Corn mons," took occasion to say, in allusion to the Fenian conspiracy, that the best thing that ever happened to Ireland was that the danger of the situation had been brought home to the doors of Englishmen, and that there had been something for them to look to in the state of the sister kingdom. He urged them to do what was right and honour able in the emergency, to rule Ireland with firm ness, with dignity, and without fear ; above all, to avoid quacks. Mr. Baron Martin, replying to the toast of " The Judges," which had been given from the chair, said it was a gratification to him to be able to speak of Sir William Page Wood, a distinguished member of the Fishmongers' Company, as he believed he deserved, and to say that, taking the whole judicial bench, no man stood higher. The Recorder of London, another member of the company, he said, was held in public estima tion as high as a man could well be. Speaking of himself, he said that it happened that he was two years the senior of Sir William Page Wood, and five years the senior of the oldest of the common law judges, and it afforded him greatsatisfaction to be received as a member of the judicial bench in the manner he had been. Sir Robert Montgomery, speaking to the toast of his health, dwelt upon the magnificence of our Indian empire, and testified to the great advances the native community were making in manufactures and commerce. The health of the Prime Warden was proposed by Mr. Baron Martin in complimentary terms, and some other toasts appropriate to the occasion were drunk, especially that of the Corporation of London, with which the name of Sir William Anderson Rose, Go vernor of the Irish Society, was associated.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Feb. 12.—The advance in prices from week to week, and almost daily for some time past, under the influence of an excited and rising cotton-market, have almost bad the effect of stopping business in cloth, and yesterday, though shirting and printing cloths were quoted 3d. per piece higher than last week, and jaconets and mulls were lid. dearer, there was really verly little business transacted. Both home trade and shipping yarns were quoted id. per lb. higher. The finer counts of yarns (chiefly spun at Bolton) were ld. to 2d. per lb. dearer. To-day private telegrams report that, although a large business has been done is cotton at Liverpool at a further advance in values there was a weaker feeling subsequently, with some de cline, and in Manchester we have had some renewal of inquiry for jaconets and mulls, with a fair num ber of operations. Prices, however, are still toler ably firm, and the fact that holders of cloth, and especially of re-sale lots, have withdrawn their stocks, has a tendency to support quotations. As regards shirtings and printers the present high rates seem to preclude business. There is a moderate but steady inquiry for domestics, long cloths and T cloths, in which the advance has been more mode rate than in Eastern fabrics. The home trade houses are doing a moderate business, but hesitate to purchase at very full rates. BELFAST, Feb. 11.—Flax—Supplies in the various markets were about the usual average ; attendance of buyers' numerous ; all flax well bought up ; in some instances prices had an upward tendency. Yarns—Demand has been good for all descriptions, especially for line wefts and tows, which have been in active request, and approved qualities of these have changed hands at an advance of 11d. per bundle. PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL BOAT-RACE. We quote the following from Wilkes' Spirit of the Times:—" It is very probable that duri ng next summer there will be a great international boat race, if not two, between the best crews of the Ox ford University and Harvard College. Communi cations have already been opened by the Harvard men, and the proposition bas been met in a frank and candid manner by those who wear flat caps and gowns in High-street, ride to the hounds in the vales of White House and Aylesbury, and merrily pull their boats in the waters of -the-Isis and - the Thames. The Harvard men proposed a race between six-oared boats. Their crew, which defeated the Yale crow last year, was no doubt the best amateur crew that has yet been seen in this country. A pro fessional crew, say four of the Wards and two of the Biglins, could, no doubt, pull away from them, but no amateurs that we have seen could do so. The Oxford men are ready for a race, but they want it to be in eight-oared boats, to carry coxswains. This would make it like the great annual contests between the Oxford and Cambridge crews. The Harvard men are willing to make the race in an eight-oared boat, but they do not want the aid of a coxswain, and propose that each crew shall do as it pleases in that respect. According to the general opinion of boatmen, it would be more satisfactory for both to carry coxswains, or both to do without them. When no coxswain is carried, the bow-oarsman steers the boat, by an arrangement through which he moves the rudder with his feet. He loses a little of the strength of his stroke at the oar by looking over his shoulder to see the line, but not enough to make up for the extra weight of a coxswain. Therefore a boat without a coxswain would have an advantage over one with, and at the same time it might not be convenient for the Oxford men to dispense with their coxswain because it has always been their method to have one, and their bow-oarsmen have not been accustomed to steer the boat. This matter will no doubt be arranged, and the collegians of the two countries will have a meeting upon the waters. The next question is, Where ? Shall the Harvard men pass over to the land of their ancestors, to pull near the dome of St. Paul's, under the vast canopy of smoke which night and day overhangs the streets, the parks, the palaces, the suburbs, and the rivers of the great city ? For them this would be very well, as they would, whether victorious or defeated, receive honourable distinction, as our yachtsmen did, besides entertainment and hospitality in the ancient halls of Magdalen, Merton, Christchurch, St. John's, &c. But the people of this country would like to have a chance to reciprocate the good feeling evinced towards our yachtsmen in England, and this would be afforded if the men who sport the deep, dark blue should come over here to row. The young gentlemen from Oxford would not merely meet with a warm reception from the young gentle men of Harvard, Yale, &c., but from the American people, who instinctively reverence the institutions of learning, and admire proficiency in manly sports. Therefore we hope the Oxford m en w ill come here to row. In this point of view it will make no dif ference which wins, as we hold it to be certain that the losers will pull a good race. The lads of the gay, light blue, the Cambridge crew, have been defeated by the Oxford men for a series of five or six years, but they lose no honour thereby. They struggle and next y ear, w i th undimi - gallantly for victory, nished pluck, go in again. Constancy and courage, under defeat and difficulty, excite as genuine admi ration as successful effort. We feel quite certain that the American people will be pleased at the announcement of this projected race and its pro bable success. We do not well see how it can now fail. With a long pull, and a strong pull, and a pull altogether, it cannot fail. Meantime, the relatives of the young men at the colleges need take no notice of the amiable twaddle which will be current about the dangers of training, &e. Every now and then some medical man invents a theory which is entirely erroneous. In regard to Heenan it was seriously announced that he had low vitality, because he had great volume of muscle. Now, this was mere non sense. The latest theory about training is, that it brings on disease of the heart, and Paterfamilias' and other old fools believe it, and write to the / imes to denounce boat-racing. Training might aggra vate a disease, or cause one in a weak person ; but it might more probably cure one, or eradicate a tendency to it. Besides, the young men selected to be trained for the University races are not weak, but powerful and of good wind. It is true enough that prize-fighters who are often trained commonly die young. But it is not the training that kills them. In the intervals they give themselves over to disso 4*, rivtouri liTiogi And thuof gQing UOI QUQ %- .t NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL. A naval court-martial, under the presidency of Rear-Admiral F. Warden, C. 8., assembled on board her Majesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth, on Tues day, and continued its sittings, by adjournments, over 'Wednesday and yesterday, for the trial of Lieut. C. Oxley, Senior Lieutenant on board her Mniestyle--abip Wolverine, Capt. Cochran.,:Lieut.. l Oxley was charged, Ist, with having allowed men belonging to the Wolverine to remain too long in a coal lighter alongside the ship at the time in danger of being swamped, by which negligence Henry Baines, leading seaman, Connor O'Keife, ordinary seaman, and William Haddon, ordinary seaman, were drowned ; 2d, with hav ing neglected to make sufficient preparation to secure the safety of the men on the lighter, and with not making sufficient endeavours to save the men after it was swamped, whereby the three men were drowned. From the evidence taken for the prosecution it appeared that the Wolverine, lying off Quebec on the 4th November last, under orders to sail for England, was taking coal on board from two lighters, one on each side, under the supervision and direction of the prisoner. The work was begun about 8 o'clock in the morning, when the weather was quite calm, but soon afterwards a strong breeze sprang up coining down the river, and by half-past 9 it blew violently. During this squall the Wol verine swung across the river on the flood tide, and the lighter on the port side of the ship, in which 20 seamen were filling her coals in bags for hoist ing into the ship, was placed on the ship's weather side and exposed to the full force of the wind. A hawser was passed to the lighter by the prisoner order to keep her head to the sea, but she shipped large quantities of water, and became altogether so unmanageable that the two men in charge of her refused to stay any longer on board the Wolverine. A short time afterwards the prisoner gave the order for the seamen to leave the lighter and return on board the Wolverine. While they were in the act of doing so the lighter rolled completely over, and lay keel uppermost alongside the ships. Ropes were thrown over the ship's side to the men as they were struggling in the water, and by this means all but four were got safely on board the ship. One of these was after wards picked up. After hearing the evidence and the prisoner's defence, which was read by Mr. Thomas Cousins, solicitor, as his friend, the Deputy Judge-Advocate read the decision of the Court. It was as follows : The Court considered the first charge proved in part, inasmuch as the prisoner did allow the men belonging to her Majesty's ship Wolverine to re main in the coal lighter too long after she was in danger, but that his doing so arose from a grave error in judgment, and not from negligently per forming his duty. The Court were further of opinion that the second charge had also been proved in part, inasmuch as the prisoner did not make suffi cient preparations to secure the safety of the men on board the coal lighter, but that after the accident he made every endeavour in his power to save the lives of the men. Considering the unusually large number of very high testimonials received by the prisoner during the whole period of his ser vice, for zeal, good conduct, and professional ability, the Court only sentenced him to be severely repri manded and admonished to be more careful in the future. The Court, before separating, desired to express its disapprobation of the manner in which Lieutenant Erringtou had given his evidence to the Court." Lieutenant Oxley was then " severely re primanded" and " admonished" for his share in the fatal accident. The censure cast upon Lieutenant Errington, who was officer at the watch at the time of the accident, is understood to refer hfetrte coal oh a is l refusal to give an opinion as to any danger lighter might have been in after the hawser passed to her from the swinging boom, an d j ust before she rolled over. RACQUET MATCH AT ETON COLLEGE.—ETON V. HARROW. —On Thurday an interesting racquet match be tween Eton and Harrow took place in the fine new court at Eton College. The players for Eton were Messrs. Otta way and Tritton, Harrow being represented by Messrs. Murray and Walker. Play was commenced soon after 12 o'clock in the east court, the gallery of which was thronged with spectators. Mr. William Gray acted as umpire. By 2 o'clock the match was brought to a close in favour of the Etonians, they having won seven games and the Harro vians four. The three first and the last games were won by Messrs. Ottaway and Tritton for Eton. The play on both sides was excellent as well as main, and met kith Wicii Appian. ROYAL IN.S7 ITUTION. Professor Tyndall is now delivering a course of experimental lectures, every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, on " The Discoveries of Faraday." In the lectures already delivered he has rapidly and clearly taken his hearers over the ground of the many discoveries of Faraday in the phenomena of electric induction, electro-magnetism, and magneto electricity, up to the construction of the powerful coil machines of the present day. As to what electricity and magnetism may be, and what takes place iii wire when electricity travels through it, the lecturer said nothing ; for little is known about these mysterious forces, and all philo sophers can do at present to unvail these secrets of nature is to find out fresh phenomena and to mul tiply the number of ascertained facts. In many of the experiments Professor Tyndall employed a re markably sensitive galvanometer, which gave a deflection when a single loop only of copper wire was passed over a by no means powerful bar magnet. To enable the audience to see the movements of the little needle, the lecturer con densed upon it the rays from an electric lamp ; a large lens was then placed above the galvano meter, au enlarged image of which was thereby thrown upon the screen, the upward direction of the rays being changed by means of a mirror placed at an angle of about 45 degrees. He also exhibited at work what is probably the most powerful induction coil in England; it is the property of Mr. Gassiot, F.R.S., was made in Ame rica, and gives a spark nearly a foot long. One of the most curious experiments exhibited consisted in filling a small tube of copper with fusible metal., and causing it to spin round with great velocity between the poles of a powerful elec ro-magnet, which poles it did not touch. Copper so placed has its rotation strangely retarded, as if surrounded by cheese or butter, and the motion, overcom ing this invisible frictional agent, generates so much heat in the copper tube that the fusible metal inside is melted. Yesterday afternoon Professor Tyndall exhibited many of Faraday's discoveries in the decomposition of liquids by the voltaic current. Last Fri day Professor Huxley, F.R.S., lectured on the " Animals most intermediate between birds and reptiles." He explained that he believed in the doctrine of " evolution"—that is to say, that the long action of causes now at work has alone created the great differences in animals which we see at the present day. He then, by exhibitions of skeletons and drawings, showed in what particulars every living bird differs from every living reptile. He next went back to the first great geological period —a period so remote, he said, that man can scarcely form an idea of its antiquity when com puted by our ordinary methods of measuring time, and acknowledged that in this geologi cal period the same wide distinctions as at the present day separated birds and reptiles. But, going farther back, through another vast cycle of ages, he showed that the one solitary bird found belonging to that epoch has many strong reptilian characteristics, including claws in its forelegs or wings. The reptiles, of which there are numerous remains, had many of them bones like those which are now found only in birds, and never in reptiles. As, then, some widely different animals converge in anatomical structure the farther they are traced in geological history, so, he concluded, similar animals may diverge into dissimilar animals under na tural causes acting during vast periods of time. Another course of lectures is now being given on Saturday afternoons, by Professor Roscoe, on " Chemistry." BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, Feb. 13.

Under the able management of Mr. Tompkins the side walls had been lit up with a brilliant row of gas jets. The result in almost every respect was satisfactory, and there is no doubt but that the inventive genius of the proprietor of the court will soon find reme dies for any present defects. A slight shadow east by the penthouse on the floor b eneath may easily be removed by an alteration of the jets. The present excessive glare of light may also be intercepted by shades ; and if, as in other courts, the floor is darkened, the contrast of the white ball will render it far more perceptible to the eye . The success of this n ovelt y will reflect great credit o n th e originator, and the thanks of all lovers of the game will be due to him. There is no r eason why tennis s h ou ld not become as favourite a pastime in the evening g as billiards. rROVINCIAL FINANCE.—The directors of the Bristol and South Wales Railway Waggon Com pany (limited) recommend a dividend and bonus at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum for the past half year.

The shareholders in the Cardigan Gas and Coke Consumers' Company have declared a dividend of 61 per cent. for the year 1867. The Pontypridd Gas Company have declared a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum for the past half year.

One writer thinks it is remarkable that his relatives have not yet said whether any efficient search has been made in the house at Eccleston-square by the polite ; and it is still more remarkable that they offer no ex-, planation of the extraordinary circumstance that up to Friday last the detective police—though they had been in daily communication with the family, and even engaged with them in exploring the whole neighbour. hood—were left in ignorance of the fact that Mr,. Speke, who when last heard of was going "to West minster," had a sister whose town house was notAnly in Westminster, but actually within a hundred yards of the spot where the missing man's hat was discovered. Nothing like a thorough search has yet been made in that house. We are told that the police have made "inquiries," and received satisfactory " replies," and that they are themselves " perfectly satisfied that nothing occurred either in the house or garden." But something more, than inquiries and re pli es are necessary to satisfy Cat public mind ; nor is it possible to attach much weightto the mere opinion of the police, or t: - ) feel much conf.denco in their exertions, when we remember that the very exis tence of this house remained unknown to them up to Friday last, nearly a month after Mr. Speket disappear- ILL CC. Another correspondent writes : "The following facts with regard to the disappearance of Mr. Speke may in some measure account for the ineffectual search for him. - From 5.30 to 7 o'clock on the night of the Bth January there was considerable fog in the Birdcage -walk and Westminster. About seven o'clock the weather cleared and frost set in, bit the night was intensely dark. The next night there was a dense fog, giving every opportu nity for the disposal of a body without attracting atten tion. Mr. Speke's friends, though they made inquirie at the hospitals and of the police, put out no handbills till some 'week or ten days after the Bth, w;tder the impres sion, I believe, that he might have been suddenly called away, end because they were unwilling to admit the horrid suspiCion that he had been foully dealt with. Thus valuable time was lost that would give the perpetrators of a warder a clear start of ten days to remove all trace of their crime. Even the hat was not heard of for threq ; leeks; and who, happening by chance to have seen a street f row some ten days before hl p was asked to r eca ll the;cir cumstance, or a gentleman without his hat, would be able to give precise information on a subject which, in all likelihood, made but slight impression at the time,. and was probably never thought of again ? Even the . cabman who drove him from Water:oo station seems to have forgotten the fact, or is dead, or he surely would come forward, if only for the sum he would possibly get for his trouble. I fear the delay has been too much in favour of the perpetrators of a foul murder. Knowing Mr. Speke well, I have formed my own opinion ; which is, that being attacked, he resisted, followed his assailants, and was fallen on by two or three of their associates, who hit him harder than they intended, and were able, favoured by circumstances, to dispose of the body unseen. Have the arches under Victoria-street, where the ground is boarded off from the street, and is set apart for building, been carefully searched ? To some of this waste ground children get access daily, but some of it is absolutely un frequented." The Lancet says : "In a very interesting and incisive piece of criticism published in the Spectator regarding the mystery of Mr. Speke's disappearanc e , we find a sugges tion which is not infrequently made by persons ignorant of the action of chloroform. Supposing Mr. Speke to have been decoyed into a cab by any of the various devices which have been mentioned, and then put under the influence of chloroform, says our contempo rary, all would be explained. Now, it is a difficult thing at any time to bring an individual under the influence of chloroform against his will, and particularly an athletic - person such as Mr. Spoke is described to be. It is exceedingly improbable that any one for criminal purposes would use an agent like chloroform, which would infallibly cause considerable struggling, and consume a good deal of time before it induced insensibility. It is simply a delusion to suppose that this agent can be em. ployed for the purposes of robbery, &c.; its administra tion under such circumstances would be attended with infinitely greater difficulties than the brute-force expe- dients which would be used by powerful and determined ruffians." THE - ,ATE 002 RAGES IN CORK. The correspondent of the Times thus writes on Thurs day :—" The lawless state of Cork continues to be a sub ject of concern, not merely to the authorities, but to every lover of peace and order. The police are perplexed and harassed by scenes of riot and outrage which their ener getic efforts have hitherto failed to repress, and which are well calculated to excite alarm in the minds of loyal citizens. Two further attempts at assassination occurring on the same night sufficiently indicate the desperate spirit which-animates some of the Fenian bands which infest the city, and whose favour with the populace seems to grow in proportion to their criminal audacity. From the various accounts which have been received the follow ing particulars are gleaned:— Up to seven o'clock on Tuesday evening nothing occurred to attract attention, but about that hour two constables, named Kearney and Thompson, were walking down the main street on duty, and had approached Austin's-lane, which runs into Castle-street, when a pistol-shot was fired at them from the opposite side, whether from a window or the corner of the lane they could not tell. Of the object intended, however, there could be no mistake, for a bullet struck the shutters of a shop close to Thompson's head, and became imbedded in the wood. The constables were unprovided with firearms, and conceived it to be useless as well as dangerous to attempt any pursuit, epecially as groups of people about the lane received them with mingled derision and menace. They reported the matter at Shannon-street police-station, and a party of armed constables turned out and proceeded to the place, where a dense crowd had by that time collected, who hooted and jeered at the police. The mob was driven back, some suspicious-looking persons were searched, as were also the houses in the vicinity, but no clue was found to the perpetrator of the outrage. The excitement subside , ', and tranquillity reigned for some hours, but about ten o'clock the populace were again aroused by a report that a collision had taken place in which a civilian' had been sle;t. The melancholy affair,' as one of the local journals feelingly designates it, occurred under the following circumstances :—Two police men, named Hunter and Flanagan, were patrolling the street which runs between the Butter Weigh-house and the North Infirmtry, when they observed two men approaching whom they regarded with suspicion. When they came near enough to discern the uniform of the constables, they made an evasive movement towards the other side of the street, which made them the more strongly suspected. Hunter called upon the first man to stand, which he did, and Hunter, feeling his pockets, detected a revolver in the breast of his coat, and said, ' Hand me out that revolver you have in your pocket.' The man sprang back three or four paces, and pulled out the weapon. Hunter put his rifle to his shoulder, and threatened to shoot him if lie did not deliver it up. He made an attempt to get past the con stable, but Flanagan, who was at the time engaged with the other man, prevented him. He then presented it at c F o l a n s n t a a g b a l e n s , i a m n m d e a d s h a .t ( e f y r ed discharged sai d ' , T h t e h r e e iis rt rifles, e f for y andou .' he lh fell. 'e They went forward to raise him, and the other man, seeing them engaged, effected his escape. After bringing him a little way they saw that he required medical aid, and went to the infirmary to procure it. Having waited for a moment to give notice of the occurrence and reload their rifles, they returned to the place where they had left the wounded man, but he was nowhere to be seen. A crowd, however, had collected, and as they approached two men were observed to detach themselves from the rest and take to flight. The police pursued and arrested them. They proved to be Lawrence Hynes, an apprentice in a printing office, and John Bullen, of Hillgrove-lane. On searching them the constables found the stock of a gun on one, and a loaded barrel on the other. A patrol of police arrived about half-past twelve o'clock, who assisted in searching the house. In one of them, situate in Dominick-street, they observed outside the door a six chambered revolver, two barrels of which had been dis charged, and the other four were still loaded. On pursuing the search they saw concealed under a bed a man named Dineen, a porter in the Butter Weigh-house. He was bleeding profusely from a wound in the nose. They also arrested a butcher's boy named Casey who was in the bed. All the prisoners were brought up yesterday at the police-office, and, with the exception of Casey, against whom there was no evidence to warrant his deten tion. were committed for trial. The boy O'Leary, who was ridden over, lies in a hopeless state. David Barry, who is charged with being concerned in the robbery of revolvers, has been fully committed for trial at the assizes. Captain Mackay has been com mitted on a charge of high treason." During the debate in the House of Representa tives on the Deficiency Bill, the subject of allowance for stationery to members of Congress came up, when Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, proposed that all members should be allowed to draw whatever stationery they needed. Mr, Stevens objected to this. He said that plan had been tried, and had to be changed, because some members pro. cured under the name of stationery pantaloons and shirts and shaving soap enough to last them for years, S ome members had run up their account for stationery to nearly 119v.§Ancl .cl9llare. ~'~ -~ .\ ~~
