MOSES and SON very conspicuously displays the magnitude and perfection of their unrivalled busines s ; and during the last few weeks thousands on thousands h ave been fur- Walled 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, fur 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 comforta-de wear in business or at home, is prepared at their Establishment, which, with every elegant description of Bats, 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 t e whatever it may they will find 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 have investments to make will find the Wholesale De partment of E. MOSES and SON'S 'Establishment more advanta ceous than any other trading depot in the world ; and the well known superiority of E. MOSES and SOWS manufacture renders the goods instant and profitable sale in any colony. A separate de partment is kept fbr Outfitting. Ship-sailing information, and full lists of outfits for ladies and gentlemen, may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. NOTICE.—The Establishments will be Closed Saturday evening, June 11. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like talsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's Ole same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, _ . except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minortes, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matricolated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &C., &C. ME.A.Y . be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile Irregularities and excesses, which have pro /aced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, 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 Unfruitflil 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 consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot app:y 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 tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply revs arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to tke care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, hays inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

(From the Times.) It becomes every day more clear that the India Bill of the Government, which comes on again for discussion to-night, has been due, both in its ma nufacture and its production, to a strange miscon ception of facts and opinion. Sir Chas. Wood seems never rightly to have comprehended either his own position or that of the question at issue. The first point to be considered was that of postponing legis lation, and here it is perfectly evident, from the arguments of the Ministerial statement, that the case was not properly appreciated. Sir Charles ob served, that in the judgment of the best authorities no further material intelligence was to be antici pated; that witnesses from India could add little to our stock of knowledge; and that the reports of the committees, taken in conjunction with private in formation, rendered us as competent to decide the question as we were ever likely to be. All this might be true in the main, but it proves nothing for the Government bill. Delay was advisable for the purpose, not of ascertaining whether or not the existing machinery should be preserved—for on that point there was no doubt even among Minis ters themselves—but of elaborating with greater pains, solicitude, and success the new constitution which was to be substituted for the old one. Very likely we had advanced quite far enough to appre ciate the government of India as conducted by the existing Court, under the control of the existing Board, but the true question was whether we had advanced far enough to discern the particular go vernment which should be put in its place. We think the propositions now before the house contain quite evidenc e enoug h t h at on this point. Ministe rial opinions were not so well matured as they might have been. Common sense would suggest to any man, as it did to Mr. Bright, th a t th e government of a' great empire could never be reasonably intrusted to a body of 24 individuals, elected, without any indis pensable qualifications of competence, by an irre sponsible and uninterested constituency through a tedious and humiliating process. Sir C. Wood saw this too, and substantially confessed as much. It has, said he " been shown beyond doubt that those most competent to take a part in the government of India—coming home from that country, and able to take a part in the administration of affairs, are deterred by the. canvas from taking a seat in the Court of 'Directors." Unquestionably, such facts have been fully established, and, if Sir Charles had but been pleased to remember the very last eleCtion of a director which took place, he might have extended his remarks to something more than this negative censure of the system. But, having been thus enlightened, what does he propose ? He proposes to secure in six members out of the 18 that competence which, by his own explicit admis sion, is not to be expected in the others. He thus deliberately retains a constituency and machinery which he knows to be conducive at least tono good, and on this machinery he permits two-thirds of the governors of India to depend for their nomina tion. We do not think a stronger proof could be desired of the incompleteness of those conclusions on which the measure was based. Nothing can pos sibly be plainer than that all the members of the Indian Council, and not one-third of them only, ought to be presumptively competent to the dis charge of their duties. There would. have been some consistency in maintaining that the system was good altogether • but to confess that it was bad, and then t o apply a remedy affecting it over only a third of its extent, is evidently absurd. Sir Charles would reply, perhaps, that to confer the nomination of the whole body of directors on the Crown might be a hazardous experiment. Very possibly, and this is just where a little more time might have been.serviceably taken for deliberation. As is is, Ministers have first admitted a principle, and then, because they did not see their way to carrying it out, have compromised it by half-mea sures, which satisfy neither the one doctrine nor the other. Exactly the same thing occurs in the suggestions about the patronage. The directors are no longer to be intrusted with the nominations to the civil or the scientific military services of India. Then, why should they still nominate to commissions in the cavalry and infantry ! One branch of the service deserves just as much con sideration as the other, but Ministers could riot see their way to the scheme of public competition in its full dimensions. In maintaining the expediency of immediate pro ceedings Sir Charles frankly qu'oted his best autho rities. " I have communicated," said he, " with the directors, the great majority of whom are con nected with India, and the opinion they express is this :—` Settle it as you will ; abolish, or deal with our court as , you please, but legislate in the course of the present session ; leave no un certainty in India." We have no doubt thrat this opinion, since expressed by Sir James Hogg in the house, was given with the most perfect earnestness and sincerity ; but can anybody mis understand such views ? Sir Charles's advisors well know that the system which they were inte rested in perpetuating was sure to suffer by every day's reflection ; that nothing was so fatal to them as inquiry, and nothing so serviceable as precipita tion. The transaction had commenced in a torpor, of public opinion, and with a p ro b a bili ty th at another twenty years' lease of power would be granted without disturbance. As it happened, at tention was awakened ; dissatisfaction ensued, and, at the rate matters were going, it was pretty plain that a thorough consideration of the subject would leave very little of the present Government of India. The directors felt, therefore, that public inquisitiveness had bett er b e arrested at once by " legislation during the present session," so that something, at any rate, might be saved out of the fire. The result shows the justice of their conclu sions. A principle fatal to their system has been fairly admitted, and one-third of their privileges has vanished. Had " legislation" been postponed for a short time longer the other two-thirds would have followed. As to the danger of " leaving uncertainty in India," it is manifest from the present mea sure that such danger has been made to cover apprehensions of a different description. The uncertainty " suffered to remain under the Government bill is as great as it possibly could be under any circumstances whatever, for it is infinite. Not only is no permanency claimed for the proposed arrangements, but scope is expressly provided for change. Here are the words of the Minister himself :—" The times change, and in these days no one knows what necessity for altera tions may arise. We do not propose, therefore, to fetter the power of Parliament for any period whatever, but we propose that this Government shall last until Parliament shall otherwise pro vide." Now, we really cannot discover what kind of danger would have been created in India by the mere suspense of legislation which will not be equally contingent on such legis lation as this. Everything is left open by a mea sure which is thus made expressly provisional. To such an argument Sir Charles might, perhaps, reply by asserting that no statesman in the present day would be likely to propose an unchangeable charter for a fixed term of years. Possibly not ; but, at any rate, the arrangements might be calcu lated for durability by being unhesitatingly ad justed to the best information of the age. Parlia ment might be left unfettered , but if every dis cernible abuse in the administration of India had been removed as far as was practicable, and if the best system of government which could be devised had been adopted without compromise or reserve, there would be very much less chance of Parlia ment's being called upon again. As it is, the blots have been hit, but not obliterated ; defects have been acknowledged, but only partially remedied ; and a measure which is explicitly based on the ne cessity of decision leaves everything undecided, with the road fairly open to change.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION NEAR TILE GREAT WESTERN .RAILWAY TERMINUS. Last evening, between the hours of six and seven o'clock, a very serious and destructive fire broke out in the newly-erected premises belonging to Mr. L. Cong don, situate at No. 3, Chichester-place, Paddington, nearly facing the Great Western Railway. The building in which the misfortune commenced was five stories high, including the basement. The flames were first discovered by one of the neighbours, whose attention was directed to the ground•floor by the issue of a great body of smoke. He at once gave an alarm in the usual way, but before sufficient time had elapsed for any assistance to arrive the flames shot forth from every window in the spacious building, and ex tended about 12 feet across the road, and speedily seized hold of two other equally extensive buildings, numbered respectively 2 and 4in the same thoroughfare. The engine of the parish was quickly on the spot, and no time was lost in setting it to work from a supply of water furnished by the Grand Junction Company's mains. It, however, soon became apparent that so extensive a fire was not likely to yield to the power of one en gine. Messengers were, therefore, dispatched to the London Brigade stations for additional aid, when Mr. Staples, the principal officer of the C district. and Mr. Tozer, the engineer, with several engines and a powerful body of men, started for the scene of con flagration. The firemen, upon arriving there, found the three buildings before alluded to wrapped in flames, the heat from which was so intense as to ignite the back fronts of three other houses in West bourne-terrace North, belonging to Mr. Thomas Freer, and nearly 100 feet away from those in which the fire originated. By pouring buckets of water upon the last named houses they were saved from total destruction, but, nevertheless, they are severely damaged by fire and water. As soon as all danger of the houses in Westbourne terrace being burned down was over, the whole force went to work at the buildings in which the fire com menced, and some tuns of water were thrown upon the flames ; but little or no impression could be made upon them for nearly two hours, by which period two out of the three houses were totally destroyed, and the other partially consumed. The firemen, however, kept to their work in an admirable manner, but by so doing several nearly lost their lives ; for whilst they were directing the branches from their engines upon the seat of flame the whole of the front walls of the two houses numbered 3 and 4 parted asunder, and then fell with a crash resembling in sound the discharge of a piece of ordnance. Fortunataly, the fireman bad just time to run for their lives, and thereby received no personal in dmiverirstison of th e p o li ce , in jury. Th e fl ames , w h en the walls fell, ascended so high as to be di s ti nc tly p erce ptible from Oxford-street and Hyde Park, w hi c h d rew an immense concourse of spec tators to the s p o t ; b u t ow i ng t o the admirable arrange- TheOri a ginspace of theas under Inspector Grant, of the D d i k s a e s p t t e ri clears unknown . for th e firemenlt appearsand engine s t o wor k . w that a number of painters and others had been at work in the premises d • uring the day, and when they left at half-past six o'clock—about five or ten minutes before the outbreak—e veryt ih• fire. ng seemed perfectly safe from The damage done is as follows :—Two houses, Nos. 3 and 4 in Chichester-place, burnt down ; No. 2, in the same place, partly destroyed ; No. 12, in Chichester street, severely damaged, and the three houses in West bourne-terrace North much injured by fire and water at the back.

After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts had been duly honoured, the Vice-Chancellor pro posed " The Health of their noble guest, the Earl of Derby, Chancellor of the University," in a speech highly eulogistic of his public services and private character, but none of which was audible in the position alloted to reporters. The Earl of DERBY rose to return thanks. He said, words would fail him were he to attempt, however feebly, to depict the feelings which had been excited in his breast by the wholly unexpected honour which that great and time-honoured University had conferred upon him, in unanimously electing him to the distinguished post of their Chancellor—the more distinguished from the recollection of his illustrious predecessor. (Cheers.) He knew not whether he had been more painfully im pressed with his utter unworthiness to be the object of their selection when he met that magnificent assem blage in the splendid theatre, on the morning of that day, or when he had been so flatteringly received as he had been on that evening by the company whom he had the honour of now addressing. He had gratefully to acknowledge the honour conferred upon him, in being appointed head o f a U n i vers i ty whose early history was lost in the obscurity of fable, but which, from the earliest period at which it could be traced, had been in the closest connection with the truest, the best, and the holiest interests of this great empire--had been, in effect, the bulwark of her laws, her liberties, and h er re li g i on , a faithful adherent to the Crown, the munificent patron of literature, the fruitful mother of science and of talent. (Hear, hear.) He was not going to magnify his own office by lauding the University, whose name was itself above all eulogy that he could pass upon it. The time would fail him, indeed, if he were to attempt to enume rate the long list of worthies who, in the camp or in the field, in the senate or at the bar, in the Church or on the bench, had reflected interminable honour through countless generations upon the University that first taught and matured their youthful intellect. (Cheers.) He felt that he was being received in the most flattering manner by an assembly comprising amongst it repre sentatives of all that was most distinguished for nobility in birth, for science, for eloquence , for power, and for ability in the different walks and rauks lifetbat made up the community of this' great empire. • 'fie saw before him members of that illustriOna fitnily'which reigned over us now, not more aeouted . `by — tbe Meta upon the throne of this country than by; the" well-woti and well deserved affection of the people over whom they ruled. (Cheers.) He saw there the representatives of different nations, and above all, the representatives of that great republic whose citizens were our brothers "in blood, in laws, and in literature, with whom, though, oceans rolled between us—oceans now almost bridged over by the power of science—we had links of relation ship and consanguinity, links of common freedom, links of common language, links of common laws, which must now and for ever bind together the mother and her glorious daughter in social friendship, knitted by the ties of affection no less than by those of interest. (Hear, hear.) He saw around him those who were amongst the most distinguished ornaments of that venerable Church of which he was an humble but at tached member, those who were most distinguished in the senate, and he might be forgiven if he said that he saw with peculiar pleasure some of those to whom he owed a debt of obligation which he could never repay, for having consented to co-operate with him in the ardu ous task which he ventured to undertake, of conducting the Government of this great empire. (Cheers.) He saw others equally distinguished with whom he had not the same intimate connection, but whom he was not less proud to see there, paying honour to a University upon which their presence conferred equal honour. He saw there the historian and the poet, the popular writer and the man of profound science—he saw representatives of every sort of distinction, and every branch of literature and science, all combining to pay the same distinguished tribute of regard and kindness to one who felt that he had little claimandeed upon their kindness and affection. Be na r ked himself what title he had to the distinguished honour conferred upon him by the University. Their respected Vice-Chancellor had enumerated amongst his claims that of descent from an ancient line of ancestors, who in their time had done the State some service. On this point he felt he was bound by every consideration to echo the sentiment of the old poet— " Sod genus et proavos, et quw non fecimus ipsi, Vix ea mostra voco." (Hear, hear.) But if there were any distinction confer red by the claims and merits of our ancesters, it clearly enhanced the obligation on those who succeeded them not to disgrace or dishonour their name, but to seek to render themselves worthy of the origin from which they sprang. (Cheers.) He had had ancestors who for their loyalty to the throne and fidelity to their country had died upon the field of battle, or, harder still, upon the scaffold. Though he would not presume to emulate the high claims of some, yet this he hoped he might say, that if loyalty to the Crown, or faithfulness to their country's interest required it, he would not disgrace their name by refusing to purchase the safety of one and the other by the sacrifice of his heart's best blood. (Loud cheers.) In looking to the motives which might have influenced their choice in the selection of a Chancellor, he thought he perceived one—of a negatiie character, indeed— which might have some weight—he meant, that his no mination, as he was given to understand, was likely to be the symbol of peace in the University, as he was not believed to be attached warmly to either of 'those ex tremes in our venerated Church by which she had been divided and weakened, and that those who might be at variance with respect to other candidates would be con tent to waive their preference for either one or the other by falling back upon one to whom they gave the credit of being a sincerely attached member of the Church of England. (Hear, hear.) This was a motive which, it might be, was of no little potency, for of all the objects to which he looked as of the greatest importance at this moment, when the Church was surrounded by foes from without, this was the chief—that she should not be wcHoeuealkd saw e e e e d wn b i ot by n d l oi grief—andssee—nsi m o e n ns within.oglad f eg i equal adle ae(Criesdutho shouldr o it f sr H , he equalea r b , h.)

That was the guiding principle of their late Chancellor—that was the secret of the inestimable and incalculable power which he obtained over the affections and the minds of his countrymen and of the world—(hear, hear)—and, though he (the Earl of Derby) could not hope to tread in his steps, that was a point of the noble duke's character upon which he might venture steadily to fix his eye, and to follow at an humble distance, if not his conduct, at least the motives that inspired it. (Hear, hear.) With this utterly inadequate expression of his feelings he might have closed his address, were it not that he succeeded, not only tea most distinguished man, but also at a somewhat critical period in the history of the University. They would pardon him if, having thus succeeded, and being constituted, in connection with their Parliamentary representatives, in some respects the guar dians of their rights and privileges, he added a few words respecting the present position of the academic question. At that moment they stood, in common with the sister University of Cambridge, arraigned at the bar of public opinion. They were on trial before their country upon the merits of their :systems ; and he must be permitted to say that they were put upon their trial under some disadvantages, and not altogether upon equal terms. He would not say anything with regard to the commission which was issued for the purpose of inquiring into the discipline and management of the two universities, al though he at the time had certainly strong opinions with regard to the legality of the issuing that commission. But the doubts he entertained upon that subject, and which were entertained by others, had certainly led to this unfortunate consequence, that with regard both to Oxford and Cambridge, and especially Oxford, the in quiry which had taken place had been of a partial and an linsullicient character. He did not mean to impute blame to the commissioners when he used the word par tial, but he meant to say that much evidence in favour of the Universities had not been tendered which would have been tendered had there been less doubt as to the propriety of the original commission. And yet, although he disapproved of the issue of that commission, he would-' frankly and honestly say before them all that he rejoiced that that commission had been issued. (Hear, hear.) He rejoiced that inquiry had taken place—he rejoiced more especially that inquiry had been invited, stimu lated, and excited within the University itself. (Cheers.) This he might venture confidently to add, that what evermight be the opinions entertained by the University with regard to the specific recommendations contained in that commission, they were now impartially, de liberately, and industriously examining the whole sub ject matter of academic discipline and studies, considering the recommendations and statements of the commis sioners, prepared to adopt that which in their honest and conscientious judgment they believed to be for the benefit of the University, anxious to meet public opinion by such changes as their own honest convictions might satisfy them would be beneficial, and equally prepared— and he could not blame them for it, nay, he was ready cordially to support them in doing it—to resist any al terations which might be pressed upon them, and which they did not themselves believe to be for the permanent interests of those who were committed to their charge. (Loud cheers.) He knew not what course Parliament might pursue in a future session upon the subject, but he ventured te hope that, as far as possible, the inter ference of Parliament might be limited to a permissive power to the universities, to the colleges themselves, after deliberate and dispassionate inquiry, to introduce such reforms as they might deem expedient, aided by Parliament, so far as to do away with the restrictions which bound many of the colleges by their ancient and now, impracticable statutes, and prevented them from introducing the amendments which they themselves might think desirable. One thing more he trusted would not be desired by Parliament, nor be consented to by the University. He hoped that, in all their reforms, and in all their amendments, they would base their repairs and improvements upon the old and tried foun dations—that they would not depart from the system of the University, from the corporate capacity of the uni versity and the colleges, its separate members—but, above all, though he would say nothing of the peculiar man ner in which the connection was enforced, he trusted that nothing would divorce this University from its per manent and invaluable connection, in discipline, govern ment, and practice, with the Established Church of the country. (Cheers.) Much had been said upon the sub ject of possible changes and alterations in the character of the studies of the University. Far be it from him to depreciate the ancient studies of that University, or those abstruser studies which were more peculiarly the province of the sister University of Cambridge, which even in their first elements formed the youthful mind to habits of close practical reasoning, and to deductions of effects from causes, and of consequences from their ante cedents—which give the mind strength, vigour, and power of application to be imparted by no studies less severe, and which, in their further and higher course, carried human science beyond the reach almost of belief 'or fancy, enabling her to penetrate not only the mighty mysteries of this world, but to soar into the boundless realms of the heavens, to measure and to weigh as it were the stars of the firmament, to trace the course of the heavenly bodies, to penetrate into the infinitude of space above and around us, and to study until we become more and more impressed with the magnitude and sim plicity of those unerring and invariable laws of nature, or rather, he should say, of nature's God, which regulated alike the smallest and the mightiest movements percep tible by our senses--movements, however, equally in significant and unimportant in the eye of an omniscient Creator. Far be it from him to say a word in disparage ment of that ancient classic lore which must be the charm of every youthful mind that gave itself up to that enchanting study, and which, impressed upon the mind in early days, would never be entirely forgotten, or lose its influence, through long and toilsome years. (Loud cheers.) They might depend upon it, that for the character, for the formation, of the author, the statesman, the gentleman, classic lore was f in estimable value. He bad intended to make an apology, but found he had been betrayed into a panegyric ; but with all his respect and veneration for classical and mathematical studies, he could not close his eyes to the fact, that the object of this great University was not alone to educate authors, poets, or statesmen, but to send forth her sons armed at all points to meet the various discipline of the world, each in his own several profession carrying with him some common resemblance arising from a common stock, yet furnished with different weapons to meet the exigencies of the future. (Hear, hear.) In the present day the study of the modern languages, of modern history, of the laws of this and other countries, of the physical sciences, were obtaining a great and growing influence, and becoming of great and growing importance. They, therefore, deserved more and pore the atteptive consideration of a Uni versity which desire . to send. forth her sans fully ac ooutred for the conflict of life. He rejoiced to see new schools established in which those studies were made a matter of competition, and the elements from which academical honours might be obtained. He confessed he spoke it with great humility, that in a University especially devoted to the service of the Church of England, he should himself have rejoiced to see a separate school even for the younger members of the University, a separate school of theology, in which those might study who intended to devote themselves to the service of the Church. (Hear, hear.) For although it was true that ample provision had been made for the teaching of divinity through the instrumentality of able and eminent professors, yet he was afraid it would be found that no study would be really and anxiously attended to by an undergraduate desirous of distinction, un less that study directly, not indirectly, led to prac tical eminence and the recognition of university dis tinction at the period of examination. He was de sirous of impressing upon those he had the honour of addressing, and especially upon those who were connected with the government of that university, that if theywishd to maintain, as he did most fervently, their institutions upon the ancient foundations and the original structure of this university unimpaired and untouced, it was of importance that they should not linger behind the rea sonable requirements of the age ; and whilst they did not yield to clamour, or consent to abandon their own real and fixed opinions, that they should endeavour, as widely as possible, to extend their discipline and teaching, so as to . maks it more and more widely applicable to every class and description of her Majesty's subjects, being members of the Church of England. No one was more anxious than himself for the prosperity and the perpetual good and advantage of the university with which he was connected ; and his earnest and ardent prayer was that day by day, and year by year, she might go on increas ing in public usefulness, honour, and renown, and in every branch of learning send forth those who would re flect credit upon her, do honour to their country, and be of service to mankind, in this and in future generations, whether it were in the battle-field, the camp, the senate, the forum, or in that most venerable of professions, the service of that Church of which she was the nurse and foster-mother—(cheers)—that she might be enabled to fit for the sacred ministry men who would by the power of their preaching, and their still more powerful example, assist in promoting the end of all education, from what ae v n e d r t s h o e u r g c l e o r i y t o c a f ro t h e a — t p G e o a d c et to upon po whomn ea r t a h i good will t l o s m a e n n d , all classes were alike responsible. The noble earl re sumed his seat amidst enthusiastic applause. The only formal speech of the evening was that of the noble Chancellor. The party broke up shortly after eleven o'clock. A grand display of fireworks was made in Worcester-close, under the direction of Mr. Darby from Vauxhall, which at tracted a great crowd, and passed off in the most brilliant style. The first installation ball was given last night in the Town-hall, and was attended by several hundred guests, including most of the distinguished persons now in Oxford, and a large number of members of the University. This morning the a nniversary sermon for the benefit of the Radcliffe Infirmary was preached at St. Mary's Church by the Rev. Dr. Goulburn, head-master of Rugby School. A concert was given iu the theatre at three o'clock to-day, which was numerously attended. The principal vocalists were Staudigl, Pischek, Gardoni, Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Dolby, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. H. Phillips. The IP, 1, SD. band leade r was Bl agrove. The selectin of music, chiefly from the works of the great Gerknan coin posers, was admirable, an d S po h r ' s exqu i s i te a i r, "Liebe ist die zarte bliithe," from Faust ; the grand scena from Gliick's Orpheus, " Chi mai dell' Erebo ; the madrigal, " Who shall win my Lady fair," by the Glee and Madrigal Union, with other morceaux, were received with rapturous applause. To-night a grand banquet is given in Christ Church Hall to the Chancellor, who is a member of the college, and a number of distinguished visitors. The second installation ball is given by the members of the University Lodge of Free masons in the Town-hall. The arrangements are on a splendid scale, and the demand for tickets unprecedented, so that the stewards have limited the number to 600. To-morrow a second convoca tion will be held in the theatre at ten o'clock, when the Installation Ode, written by the Professor of Poetry, and set to music by Sir H. Bishop, will be performed, honorary degrees conferred, and prize essays and congratulatory odes recited. Blenheim Palace and Woodstock-park, and the grounds of Newnham, the seat of the Harcourts, both situated within easy distance of Oxford, have attracted a numerous throng of pleasure-seekers from the town throughout the day% ENTERTAINMENT AT THE MANSION HOUSE. In pursuance of the intention of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor to give a series of entertainments at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of aiding the efforts of her Majesty's Government in the promotion of a more general and practical knowledge of science and art among all classes, a conference of the mayors of the different towns in the United Kingdom was yesterday held at the Mansion-house, the Lord Mayor (Mr. Alder man Challis, M.P.) presiding on the occasion. Among those present at the conference were the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, the Lord Mayors of Dublin and York, and the Mayors and Provosts of Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Hull, Halifax, Bradford, Belfast, Wakefield, Blackburn, Huddersfield, Ipswich, Durham, Wolverhampton, Bristol, Exeter, Bath, Norwich, Lei cester, Nottingham, Derby, Limerick, Leeds, Coventry, Macclesfield, Chester, Stafford, Gloucester. Salisbury, Truro, Southampton, Bolton, Brighton, Sunderland, Paisley, Cork, Waterford, Dudley, Cambridge, Wor cester, and others. The LORD MAYOR having called the attention of the meeting to the principles enunciated, and cordially con curred in, at the dinner of the previous evening, with respect to the necessity of diffusing and extending more widely a knowledge of art and science throughout all classes in the country, stated that the object of the con ference was to consider the best means of giving prac ticel effect to the opinions then expressed, and that the Board of Trade had directed Dr. Lyon Playfair and Mr. H. Cole, the secretaries of the new department of science and art, to attend for the purpose of affording explana tions of the course adopted by the Board of Trade with respect to affording assistance to provincial schools. His lordship having expressed himself warmly in favour of extended education in science and art, concluded his address by calling upon Dr. Lyon Playfair and Mr. H. Cole to address the conference. Mr. H. CoLx, in compliance with the request of his lordship, explained the objects of the recent minute of the Board of Trade with respect to the means by which it was proposed to render assistance to provincial schools of art. Mr. Cole pointed out the causes of failure in those schools of design which had been eitab fished nnder the previous system, which he attributed in a great degree to the fact that the schools were not made self-supporting in their character. The principle upon which the new regulations were founded was that of leaving the management of local institutions to the authorities on the spot, confining the direct support of the Government mainly to affording facilities and aid in obtaining suitable and accomplished teachers, and the necessary apparatus and instruments of the most ap proved description. Several towns had already availed themselves of the facilities afforded, and he was happy to be in a position to state that in Waterford, Chester, Hereford, and several other towns, the schools recently established were in a most satisfactory condition. Dr. LYON PLAYFAIR, as secretary of the department of science, stated that precisely similar principles to those enunciated by Mr. Cole had been adopted by the Government with respect to the extension of practical science. The great majority of the mechanics' institutes throughout the country were at present in a languishing condition—a circumstance which was mainly traceable to the want of elementary instruction in science, and the necessarily desultory character of the information pro. vided by lectures or other means at those institutions. Under improved management., he thought that the exist ing institutions might be made exceedingly valuable, while their comparailie want of success up to the present time afforded no sufficient ground for supposinc that their future success might not be greatly and widely ,increased. Soine discussion as to the best mode of giving effect to the views of her Majesty's Government then ensued, in which the Mayor of Liverpool, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, the Provost of Glasgow, the mayors of Hull. Newcastle, Leicester, Chester, Southampton, York, Norwich, and Belfast took part. Several of the municipal representatives gave very satisfactory ac counts of the state of scientific and artistic education in the respective boroughs and towns which they repre sented, and while some saw considerable difficulties in the practical development of the plans of the Govern ment, one and all fully concurred in the announcement contained in the speech from the Throne at the com mencement of the present session, "That the advance ment of the fine arts and of practical science will be readily recognised by you as worthy the attention of a great and enlightened nation ;" the most perfect unani mity of feeling prevailed on the part of all present as to the desirableness of assisting, by all means in their power, in the increased diffusion of a knowledge of prac tical science and art. On the motion of the Lord Mayor of YORK, seconded by the Mayor of NORWICH, thanks of the conference were most cordially tendered to the Lord Mayor for the courtesy and hospitality which he had displayed. The conference then broke up. THE CONVERSAZIONE.—On the evening of yesterday the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress received an unusually large and brilliant assembly, comprising many of the most distinguished persons whose names are associated with art, science, and education. The Egyptian-hall, ball-room, and spacious saloons were filled with a choice collection of paintings, statues, casts, diagrams, recently Invented machinery, and educational books and appara tus. The company, a fair proportion of whom were ladies, began to arrive at nine o'clock, and kept up in rapid succession until midnight. Refreshments were abundantly supplied in the course of the evening, and an elegant supper provided at midnight in the Long Parlour. The guests did not separate till an early hour this morning. THE WAGES MOVEMENT IN LIVERPOOL. The agitation for increased remuneration for labour still continues in Liverpool. On Monday the cotton porters, who had made an unsuccessful application for an advance of 6d. a-day, struck work, and have ex pressed their determination to remain out until their demand is conceded, and, further, until the masters sign an agreement to pay them 4s. a-day, instead of the old price, 3s. 6d. They have also come to the resolution not to work for any one who employs men who are not members of the Cotton Porters' Association, a society which numbers upwards of 3,500 members. The move ment meets with the co-operation of the dock labourers, upwards of 5,000 strong, who have also struck work. The result threatens to be very detrimental to the trade of the Mersey, unless a speedy compromise be effected. The employers, however, seem determined to resist the dictatorial spirit of the men ; and, although the majority would be willing to grant the increased remuneration, they are resolved to break down a combination which would prevent them from employing men who are not members of a certain association.—Yesterday only one ship in the port was at work ; and at a monster meet ing, held by the men at the west side of George's Dock, it was intimated that measures would be adopted to " put a stop " to the few labourers and porters who were employed at it. The letter-carriers of Liverpool have petitioned the Postmaster-General for an advance of wages, on the ground that twenty shillings a-week is in adequate to their requirements, owing to the increased price of provisions, &c. They cannot see, they urge, "why their brethren in London should receive a salary of from ss. to 10a. a-week more than themselves, while it is notorious that the duties of the carriers in Liver pool are, as a whole, more arduous, and, consequently, of equal responsibility to those of London." The appli cation has met a decided negative from Viscount Can ning, who, in conclusion, observes, "that having heard that it is the intention of some of the letter-carriers to resign in a body, in the event of their memorial not re ceiving the answer they desire, though such a step may cause the public to suffer inconvenience, and compel him, for a time, to provide for the service at an increased cost, he thinks it well to warn those who may he so ill advised as to adopt such a course, that under no circum stances will they individually receive benefit from any new arrangements." ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLun.—lt will be remembered that in our report of the Royal Thames Yacht Club schooner race, in last Thursday's impression, we stated that shortly after the start the protest signal was hoisted on board the Violet against the Sverige, on the ground of a foul, alleged to be consequent upon a violation of the sailing regulations of the club. At the conclusion of the race a written protest, under form, followed up the previous announcement, and the matter, in accord ance with the rules of the club, was 7referred to the sail inc, committee, who met yesterday a ft ernoon at the Bedford b Hotel, Covent-garden, with a view of receiving the evidenee of various persons respecting the case, Several witnesses were examined, but as there are many others whose testimony it is most desirable should be ' received, the matter was adjourned for further inquiry.
