Epulatum at, poculatum , est, as the holy clerk of Cop manhurst complacently remarks, and, looking at the demonstrations of the Sheldonian Theatre on Tuesday and Thursday, we may add with good reason, conclama tum est too. There are limits even to the capacity of Oxford dons for rich cheer and joviality, and to the powers of speechmaking possessed by Parliamentary leaders. Things are settling down in Oxford to their ordinary quiet and somewhat sombre aspect, the last of the distinguished visitors leave with the Earl of Derby to-day, and as many of the under-graduates have now kept their term, and the festivities of the week have been rather inimical to,study, a c6nsiddrable number of the students also are leaving Oxford for the remaining por tion of Trinity term. Even the noble Chancellor him self must feel considerably relieved at being freed from the obligation of discussing two or three dinners, and making twice as many speeches in the course of the day. The Pembroke dinner came off last night in the hall of that college, where about eighty persons were enter tained, under the auspices of Dr. Jenner, the master. Amongst the guests were the Bishops of Oxford and Lincoln, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hard wicke, the Earl of Eglinton, Lord Seaton, Lord Col chester, Lord Dynevor, the Marquis of Chandos, Lord Stanley, M.P., Sir J. Pakington, M.P., Sir E. Cust, Sir R. Murchison, Mr. Grote, Professor Aytoun, the Provost of Eaton, the Dean of Winchester, and the Mayor of Oxford. .". , . .. . 0,. < .___.

A numerous company, including many ladies, assembled at the 'house of the society be fore 4 o'clock, and precisely at half-past 4, the time named when Prince Albert, the President of the society, was to take the chair, his noyal,Highness arrived and assumed that position. The Prince was received with marked respect and cordiality. His ROYAL HIGHNESS said —Ladies and. gentlemen, three years have now elapsed since this society last dis tributed its medals and awarded its prizes. The inter ruption that took place was owing to the Great Exhib. tion of 1851, which caused so much excitement and ie terest and claimed such a large share of the public atten tion. The society took po honourable a part in tha t great event that it need net be ashamed to refer to it. I hope you will be convinced, from the works of art a: d new inventions which will be Ur ought before you to-day, that the inventive genius as well as the ' skill of this country is making . rapid strides. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness, then called . uPtin Mr. Sally, the secretary,, to -read his • report upon the operatives and position of the , society. This report stated :-- " Since the last general meeting of the society for tho distribution of premiums three years have elapsed, and this period has certainly not beep the least eventful portion of the history of the society, whether the sub jects which have occupied the whole body, or the exer tions of the individual members, are considered. there were no o th er circumstances to chronicle than those which relate to the part taken by the society in con nection with the Great Exhibition, there would bp much connected with the industrial. progress of the world to record, and everything belonging to the history of that groat event has a new . anti • ever-erowine importance, when taken in connec ti on with Cm rapidly develop. ing spirit of international co - operation, of which it was in truth the first illustration. The share which this society had in the progress of the Great Exhibition will be recorded in the history of our country ; it is known to all, and, in truth, it would hardly be necessary now to refer to it, were it not that several of the prizes now about to he awarded relate directly to the Great Exhibition and further, that the varied an d i mportant services connected with it, which for nearly two years occupied Many of our most active members, have to a considerable exfontinter fered with and modified the prize lists of the,,last three years. In the year 1851, the ordinary prize list of the so ciety was altogether suspended, and„p place of it, special premiums connected 'Wholly with,the'Exhibition wortrof fered. It must not be supposed, however, that in conse quence of the time and attention thus devoted to these particular subjects the other branches of the society's ope rations have been abandoned or neglected.' On tho con trary, it is probable that in no three years of the last cen tury has the society done more to advance the true interests of the arts, manufactures, and commerce of the country than it has in the last three sessions. This is not the time to enumerate the good works which the society has under taken or carried out, yet it is right that I should remind you of them, and that I should observe that, if a smaller number of prizes are now given than used to be the case, it is not because the society is less able or less willing than it was formerly to reward merit, but because, from the altered spirit of the times, the encouragement and aid of the society are less needed as a means of bringing forth isc lated inventions and dormant talents, and are more urgently needed in the development of enlarged general isations and comprehensive measures." Tire rest of the report is devoted to a brief elucidation of the inventions and improvements for which the prizes are awarded. We subjoin an account of them, with a classification of the prizes. They are as follow : 1. To Mr. Joshua Rogers, 133, Bunhill-row, for his Shil ling Box of Water Colours—the silver medal. 2.

To Mr. James Hole, of Leeds, for his Essay on the History and Management of Literary, Scientific, and m e . chanics Institutions—the Society's medal and 501. When tne report was concluded his Royal Highness distributed the prizes to the successfal competitors. The ceremony being concluded, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose, and said he pro posed to detain the company for a few moments in order that they might concur in what he was sure they unani mously desired—a proposal to pass a vote of thanks to his Royal Highness for his attendance that day and his conduct in the chair. (Applause.) In making this pro posal, he did not do it merely out of respect to the position which the Prince occupied—the highest position which a subject could occupy—but more especially in reference to the claims which he had upon the society. He (the noble Marquis) need not enlarge upon the many virtues of the illustrious Prince who occupied the chair. They were too well known to require this, but he wished to advert more particularly to the efforts made by him in behalf of the objects of the society—objects calculated to have a material effect upon the prosperity of the country. Not a year had elapsed since he (the noble Marquis) had had the opportunity of meeting many of those then present, but even in that short period there had been many improvements in arts and manu factures —new inventions, or new applications of old principles. Enlightened feelings and activity of mind characterised the age, but all this exertion and activity would be wasted if there were not some central attrac tion round which luminous bodies might revolve and diffuse light over every country. His Royal Highness had given the requisite impetus to art and invention by his zealous assistance in promoting every department of it. This zeal had been frequently evinced, but never more usefully than upon the present occasion. Feeling convinced that all would acknowledge the benefits arising to art and science from the countenance and patronage of his Royal Highness, he begged to move a vote of thanks to him for his presence upon that occasion. Lord CorzonNt, in seconding the vote of thanks to Prince Albert, expressed his concurrence with all that, had been said by the noble marquis, and said that he was sure they would all feel grateful for the proof of the interest evinced by his Royal Highness in the cause of art and science by his presence that day. The proposal was enthusiastically agreed to by all present. Prince ALBERT rose and said,—l thank you for your very kind expressions, but I confess that the terms used and the feeling exhibited towards me have made me blush.

BENNETT.—The vicar of Frome res cued on a.turday last a youth, the son of Mr. Doswell, from a watery grave. It appears the lad was fishing in in'a stream near this town, and by some accident his foot slipped, and he fell into the water. The Rev. Mr. Bennett, his curates, and chorister boys, were fortu nately in an adjoining field playing at cricket, and the rev. gentleman becoming aware of the accident, ran to the assistance of the lad, and boldly pulled off his coat and plunged into the Are mn, and, as the drowning youth rose the second time, he was secured and rescued.—Sherborne Journal. PLANTATION FIE..—On Tuesday week a fire broke out in the extensive plantation belonging to the Earl of Lonsdale, situated near. Plumpton. Some persons had been burning heather on the common adjoining, and it is supposed that sparks had bsen wafted into the planta stion; tilutior,iginating the fire, which continued to rage during the greater part of the day.

SAMUEL LAatIERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, TlOnorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system , resulting from juvenile trregularldes and excesses, which have pro- Asset,' snore misery In youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of 11th, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. _ . It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate Self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its coniequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any der,ree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting 11114 department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which aro too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirica, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

LONDON. SUMMER ATTIRE FOR ALL CLASSES. THE FASHIONABLE SUMMER DRESS provided by E. MOSES and SON very conspicuously displays the magnitude and perfection of their unrivalled business; and during the last few weeks thousands on thousands have been fur nished with the elegancies of the season by E. MOSES and SON. The Magnificent Stock of Summer Goods has been replenished by those extraordinary resources of commercial machinery which no other tradesman in the world could either establish or keep in opera tion. II is now quite unnecessary to mention the surprising accom modations afforded by the gigantic Establishment of E. MOSES and SON in the City, and its magnificent branch in the West-end, for im mediate selection of Summer Dress, either to order or ready-made ; but the very economical charges made by E. MOSES and SON are the most notable affairs in the business transactions of the times. It is impossible to enumerate the Articles of Dress newly invented by E. MOSES and SON for Summer Wear, and to particularise the ap propriate styles which the most distinguished artists in the world have produced *would far exceed the customary space of an adver tisement. Therefore E. MOSES and SON state that Summer Attire for every person, adult and juvenile, for every station and pursuit, for appearance in public and for comfortable wear in business or at home, is prepared at their Establishment, which, with every elegant description of 1./.at , Caps, Hosiery, &c., &e., are offered for consider ably lower prices than are charged elsewhere. EMIGRANTS to all climates or to any country where business provides a field For industry, and where skill is required for the accu mulation of capital, let their profession be whatever it may they will fled the most suitable and the Cheapest Clothing at the Establish ment of E. MOSES and SONS ; and as Outfits are indispensable for every Emigrant, the long and perfect experience of E. MOSES and SON in Outfitting every class of passengers is a great advantage to Emigrants, both in the quality and the price of the goods they require. Those who lame investments to make will find the 'Wholesale De partment of E.I I ,IOSES and SON'S *Establishment more advanta geous than any other trading depot in the World ; and the well known superiority of E.

Yesterday the members of the e Soc . l tY of Arts, the re presentatives of th e Literary, Scientific, and Mechanics' Institutions in union with that body, and many of the mayors invited to the recent hospitalities o f th e Mansion house, went down to Sydenham to visit the works and grounds of the Crystal Palace Company, a wise liberality of arrangement th e director's of By that company have associated themselves w ith th e movement atpr taking place an favour of_ a more vs - pal:sive syste m le education ; and it may be regarded as a guarantee of the objects which the New Curate' Palace is to. serve that the company are thus early enlieting the favour and sup port of the most powerful non-politi ca l organisations of the country. More than 1,000 persons went down to Sydenham yesterday, and the excitement and pleasure visible in every face furnished fair indications of what the public delight will be when the new Palace and its grounds are rendered accessible to all. The undertaking of the company is only an enlarged application of the same self-supporting principle upon which the . growing intelligence of the people now manifestly rests fui sup port ; and it seems difficult to set bounds to what may be accomplished iii this material age (with mechanical facilities so abundant) by such an agency. In order that it may be understood what:•i s s .being ac complished at Sydenham on_a strict commercial basis, it seems only necessary to describe, as far as the limits of description go, what was seen during the visit of yester day. - .The visitors were receives' at the entrance by Mr. Laing, the chairman of the company, Mr. Owen Jones, Mr. Digby Wyatt, and other ehief 'officers. They first proceeded to view the plans and drawings of the building 'and park, which, for magnitude and splendour of con ception, far- transcend not only the original, but any thing that has ever been attempted in the shape of a per manent structure dedicated to purposes of the kind. If the old building was a miracle of mechanical facility, the present one is shown, by these plans of Sir Joseph Pax ton's, to be still more surprising in that respect, while its commanding site, its enormous proportions finely diver sified, and its details of internal and external embellish ment give enlarged impressions of the spirit in which it is being carried out. W hatever may be attempted or realised elsewhere, it is quite certain, looking at the drawings of what the whole will be when completed, that in no other country, and in no other city of the civilised world, could such a structure be raised by such resources and dedicated to such objects. Nothing short of a population like that of London could justify the undertaking ; and, looking at it as a commercial speculation, it seems impossible, too highly to applaud the magnificence of a general design which has evi dently been framed to compel success. Having carefully examined the drawings which were to help them to a conception of what the whole would be when completed, the visitors passed into courts and galleries, wherein a crowd of bearded artists labour in tently to prepare the illustrations of architecture and sculpture gathered from every school, and setting forth in connected series the entire history of art. Of course these objects are seen to a great disadvantage at pre sent, without arrangement, and the smallest details of the workshop in progress under one's eye. Sphinxes submitting in solemn pomp to the paintbrush, equestrian statues showing the jointings of the cast, Egyptian dei ties unceremoniously fashioned in open day by the mo deller, and busts of the mighty dead lying in the most undignified positions,—these, and a thousand other evi dences of unpreparedness, told the visitors that they were behind the scenes, and not entitled to be critics. They had to draw upon their fancy for a just conception of what the whole would be when completed--when the monumental records of civilisation, traced from the banks of the Nile through Greece and Rome and the Lower Empire, are seen transmitted to modern times, and ex panding with the development of nations into schools and styles, each of which, compared with the other and with the types of excellence from which they all spring, will no doubt afford to the sculptors and architects of this country opportunities of observation such as have never been equalled. It is rather a remarkable consi deration, in connection with this part of the undertaking at Sydenham, that the least artistic people of Europe are, by their commercial enterprise and their zeal for popular instruction, able to form a gallery more com prehensive, and therefore more effectual in giving to the public taste a true and healthy direction than any foreign Government has been able to bring together. We are bringing the mechanical facilities which we pos sess to bear upon a great scale in rendering accessible to the humblest classes not the chief works of a particular school, but the choicest examples of all. Through the unavoidable confusion of objects yesterday these consi derations rose plainly on the mind, Looking down from the galleries, the different courts into which the whole collection is to be distributed suggest the historical ar rangement which they wilt finally assume. These courts are now rapidly growing into sh i ape, and that for Egyptian art is already drawing towards it models of temples, reproductions of rock-hewn images, and pillars indented with hieroglyphics. Six lions — grouped on either side—guard the entrance of this department from the nave, and, within a colossal form, newly modelled, by theJtaliau sculptei Monti, indicates what the style of- interttal decoration - will be. The de signs and drawings of the manner in which the different courts are to be fitted up were exhibited yesterday to the visitors both by Mr. Owen Jones and Mr. Digby Wyatt; the splendid collection made by these gentlemen abroad, so far as it has been unpacked, was also examined with interest. It would serve no purpose, at the present time, to notice with much specialty the extraordinary works now uncovered. But the Mayors and the repre sentatives of Institutions will, no doubt, carry back with them to the country a lively remembrance of them. Victories distributing their laurels, Vcnuses and Graces and Eves, by the greatest masters, the chef-d'ecurres of the most celebrated sculptors, the busts of the most cele brated men, friezes and tombs and relieves, and monu mental effigies, equestrian statues, casts from the life, copies of the finest objects in all the greatest European galleries—such things are not to be seen, even in the most confused and disordered manner, without leaving a strong impression on the mind. Leaving the galleries and courts in which the labours connected with the fine artdepartment are prosecuted, the visitors passed into the nave of the building, and there realised the magnitude of its proportions —so difficult to convey a just conception of in any other way. Since we last noticed its progress it has been advanced many stages towards completion, but so vast is the amount of work comprised in it that the nearer it approaches to being finished the more over whelming seems the quantity of labour still to be gat through. Now the weather permits Mr. Henderson to put forth his entire strength, and, with the able assist ance of Mr. Cochrane, he does wonderi; and does them well to. The western is half more forward than the eastern, and the arched roof is up as far as the centre transept. At the other end, also, a good number of the semicircular ribs are in their places. A large propwtion, not only of the flooring, but of the glazing, and evn the painting, is finished, and owing to the simultaneous way in which the work is done it is more advanced than it appears to be. It is also efficiently done, one great proof of this being that there is no leakage from the roof, while the whole details of construction preserve the same fairy likelightness of character which formed the charm of the old building. Nothing seems to have been left undone to render the structure as permanent as need be. Standing on the crest of the hill, of enormous height and transparent in every part, one would fancy, looking at it from withou4 that the first storm would sweep it entirely from its site ; but it is probably stronger than any of our cathedrals, to the architectural effect of which, with its transepts and towers, it bears some analogy. No structure in the world, however, comes within many degrees of it in point of grandeur, either externally or internally. One only requires to go and look at it to be convinced of that. While the simplicity and magnitude of its proportions are carefully preserved, sufficient variety is secured in every part of the design to avoid that sense of monotony which the constant repetition of parts in the old build ing tended to create. The noble elevation of the site, added to the effect of the lofty semicircular roof, brings the vast length more within the range of the eye, and when the wings and side towers, which have hardly yet been touched, are up, there now remains not a doubt that this Palace of Crystal will not only reflect credit on the company to which it belongs, and on those who de signed and constructed it, but be worthy of the people to whose use it is mainly dedicated, and, without ex aggeration, forms one of the wonders of the world. The park, with its terraces and fountains, its avenues, slopes, and parterres, did not escape yesterday the curi osity and admiration of the visitors. Sir Joseph Paxton, and the contractors under him, have brought this part of the work into a very forward state. It is no matter of difficulty now to conceive what the grounds will be when complete, but mere description can convey no ade quate idea of it. On one bank now in process of forma tion 200,000 spectators can sit, and all have a perfect view of a display of fountains more than four times that of Versailles on grand days, could it be seen put to gether. This single illustration will -give, perhaps, a clearer conception of the scale on which the park is laid out than a multiplicity of details. If more is wanted to astonish, the materials for doing so will be found in those monstrous forms belonging to elder worlds which Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins is preparing. The Icthyosaurus, the Iguanadon, and the other gigantic tenants of this planet before man's introduction upon the scene, will surely fill full the attractions of the New Palace. Placed upon the geological formations in which their bones are found imbedded, and throwing some light, however faint, upon the earliest and sublimest pages in the History of Creation, these embodiments of the re searches of such men as Owen and Cuvier form a remark able feature in the general plan of this great enterprise for the instruction and amusement of the people.

The primary object was the security of appropriations left in trust for any public object. He knew there were statutes which the members of colleges were compelled to swear to uphold, and not to permit to be altered, but which it was impossible to carry into effect, because they were contrary to the laws and principles of the present day. These were cases in which it was earnestly to be desired that Parliament might interpose its supreme power, to give to those who were trustees of the colleges a per missive power to deviate from the strict letter of the statutes, for the purpose of applying the funds to pur poses clearly within the spirit if not the letter of the original endowment. (Hear, hear.) So far from being offended or irritated, they ought to seek and to court the intervention of Parliament for giving them facilities to free themselves from shackles in which it was im possible they could move or walk freely, and to relieve themselves from obligations, compliance with which they were obliged to evade. Depend upon it that in these days that which would not bear .the light must be swept away ; but if they were ready to forego some advantage for the purpose of adhering ,to established principle—if in introducing reformation where re formation was needful, they did not prejudice great objects, or infringe great sanctions—even those who were desirous of going further would respect their con scientious scruples. (Hear.) Thus the universities would be enabled to extend more and more widely the sphere of their influence, and to prove their capability of adapting themselves to the age in which we lived. (Hear, hear.) Though he had regretted at first the issue of the commission to inquire into the universities, he was bound to express* his belief that the issue of that commission produced much good—that it had produced a spirit of inquiry in the universities themselves—dis placed much existing prejudice, and substituted for it a free spirit of improvement. Let the university proceed steadily and firmly to adapt itself to the exigencies of our advanced civilisation, never departing from its ori ginal landmark of attachment to the Church of England. There might be some of latitudinarian views, the advo cates of merely secular knowledge, who would be of opinion that it lagged behind the spirit of the age ; but the great mass of the country would support them, and give them strength in the approval of public opinion. Thus acting, they would never forfeit that respect which they had enjoyed since an epoch almost coeval with its constitution, and which he trusted would long continue their proud and well-deserved privilege.

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 10. The following mates, R.N., passed examinations quali fying for the rank of lieutenant at the Royal Naval College yesterday : Messrs. Edye, Grubbe, Natt, Phillips, Beamish, Heneage, Bolton, and Davidson. The following second-masters, R.N., also passed for the rank of master :—Messrs. Drew, Parsons, and Ryan. The Neptune, 120, Captain E. H. Scott, was brought down from her moorings this morning, and placed in the angle dock to have her bottom examined. She is all ataunt with her sea-going gear. The Hogue, 60, screw-ship, Captain Ramsay, hauled out of dock last evening, and out of the sea-fitting basin to-day, ready to return to Spithead. The Simoom, 18, screw troop-frigate, Captain Smith, left this evening with the 34th Regiment for their destination in the north. The Geyser, 5, steam sloop, Commander Wilson, came into harbour this morning to be repaired. Her officers and ship's company are to be turned over to the advanced pad dle sloop Vesuvius, 6. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 10. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain the Hon. H. Keppell, pointed topmasts yesterday. The frigate Sybille, 40, Captain Elliott, having been masted, was to-day taken to the jetty to be rigged. The steam sloopMagicienne, 16, Captain Thomas Fisher, sailed on Tuesday afternoon for Queenstown. The steam troop-ship Rhadamanth us, Master-Commander Belam, arrived yesterday from Pembroke, and is appointed to sail to-day for Woolwich. Mr. Brown, Master-Attendant, and a party of riggers and seamen, are ordered to Pembroke, to bring to Devon port the Rover brig, which will be launched on the 21st of June. The Hamoaze lighter is also ordered to Pembroke with masts and jury gear for the Rover. On Monday last the Coast Guard instructing gunners on board the Hotspur gunnery brig, under the command of Captain W. H. Kennedy, were exercised in firing blank cartridge, and on Tuesday they commenced exercise with shot. The target, which was laid out at 900 yards, con sisted of the butt-end of a spar, three feet long, tapered off at one end, with a line fast to it, having a pig of ballast attached. In the other end a staff, five feet high, was fixed, with a flag, one foot square, flying at its head. The weather was favourable, and the • practice remarkably good ; the flag was frequently struck, and the staff was cut in two twice. Not one shot passed ten feet clear of the target, which was made small to avoid the loss of time that would havo otherwise occurred from its frequent de struction. These Coast Guard men; 30 in number, return to their respectrve districts, in England, Ireland, and Wales, during the week, for the purpose of instructing the whole of the force 'employed in the Coast Guard sor vice. They appear to be very orderly, and their proficiency goes far to prove how valuable this branch of the navy may be made for the defence of tho country, afloat or ashore, when properly instructed. Lord SEATON returned thanks for the army, and the Earl of HARDWICKE for the navy. The Master of PEMBROKE then gave the "Health of their distinguished visitor the Earl of Derby." The Earl of DERBY, in returning thanks, said he should retain to the last moment of his life the most vivid impression of the kind and flattering reception which he had experienced at all hands on the occasion of his visit to Oxford, to assume the dignity to which he had been called by the voice of the University. Their respected president had given him credit for powers of argument and speech wl4ch his kindness was disposed to overrate, and had paidihim the undeserved compliment of saying that he was i(le in the conflict of Parliamentary warfare, and the strife of the most power ful intellects in the Legislature, to deal with public questions without much previous thought upon the subject. It should be recollected that the absence of previous consideration of words vAts a very different thing from the absence of previoes thought. (Hear, hear.) If there were a single point;-on which ho might venture to say there was any likeii,is between - himself and his illustrious predecessor, it *as in the fact that what he said was the result of earnest conviction of truth, and having maturely considered any subject, he trusted to the power of nature, working as it might work in any honest man, to give effective expression to what he deeply felt.
