WEDNESDAY

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Government has received the following tele-
graphic dispatches :

" Augouleme, Oct. 10, Quarter to Twelve
at Night.
" After a dinnor offered to the principal functionaries
and personages of the department, the Prince proceeded
to the hall, through the midst of an immense and en-
thusiastic population, who had been waiting for him
from four o'clock. The cries of ' Vive l'Empereur!'
which had saluted him along his passage, were redoubled
tit his entrance into the ball-room, where upwards of
3.,000 guests were assembled. Similar acclamations
frequently burst out during the evening, and were re-
Peated to the moment of his departure. A compact
crowd was waiting for him outside. The streets which
he was to pass through were encumbered with a population
constantly crying Vive l'Empereur!' Vivo Napoleon
MA' Ilia Highness leaves iu the morning for itoche-
tort."

" Oct. 11, Nine at night.

" liis Highness left Agouleme this morning at seven
o'clock. The bishop and his clergy, and the principal
functionaries of the department, were present at his de-
parture. The population saluted him with the loudest
iiechiciations. At, Liiersac, two triumphal arches were
erected by the inhabitants, who bore on their hats, in
large letters, the words 'Vivo l'Easpereut! At Jarnac,
the crowds of the population were still more numerous
and enthusiastic. In tine, at Cognac, the Prince was re-
ceived at the entrance into the town by the Mayor and
municipal body, under a fine triumphal arch, bearin; the
Vive lEmpereur \rive Napoleon inscription ' It is
impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the populations,
every face being radiant with joy The passage of the
Prince through the Charente was a triumphal mareh,which
will leave in the hearts of all an ineffaceable impression.
An noon his Highness quitted the department to enter
the Charente-Infi:ieure. The health of the Prince is
excellent."
The speech delivered by the PRINCE PRESIDENT at
to the toast proposed by M.
Bordeaux in responding
DUFOUR DUBERYER, President of the Bordeaux
Chamber of Commerce, is of sufficient importance to
be given without curtailment. The following was the
PRINCE'S reply :

"I accept with eagerness the opportunity afforded
me by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce for thank-
ing your great city for its cordial reception and its
magullic,nt hospitality, and I am happy at the end of
my journey to communicate the impressions I have re-
ceived.

"The object of my tour, as you are well aware, was to
make myself acquainted, by personal observation, with
the beautiful provinces of the south, and to ascertain their
real wants. It has, however, led to a far more important
result.

"I may say, indeed, with a candour as far removed
from pride as from false modesty,
i, more unanimously,
that never did a people
More directly, more bp
testify a determination ntolitfarilee"i l
u itself from all uneasiness
respecting the future by placing n the same hands as
heretofore a power which sympathizes with its feel-
ings.—(Applause.)
'' The people has now at last learned to value at their
price the false hopes with which it has been cajoled,
and the dangers with which it was threatened. It seems,
Lthen, that in 1852 society approached its dissolution,
eeeause each party consoled itself with the belief that
amid the genera.' wreck it might still plant its standard
the floating fragments. ° (Sensation, and cries of
t 1
'Five l'Enapereur !')
th" Now that its eyes are opened to absurd theories,

tended reformers were mere visionaries, inasmuch as

"At present, the nation surrounds me with its um_
leathies because I do not belong to the family of the
Ideologists. To promote the welfare of the country it
is not necessary to apply new systems, but the chief
Point, above all, is to produce confidence in the present,

There is one objection to which I must reply. Cer-

pire is peace—(Sensation)—for France desires it, and,
When France is satisfied, the world is tranquil. (These
Words, uttered in a firm voice, and with strong ern-
Phasis, produced a magical effect. Enthusiastic bravos
'were heard from all sides.)
" Glory descends by inheritance, but not war. Did
the princes, who justly felt pride that they wore the
grandchildren of Louis XIV., recommence his wars?

many conquests to make. I wish, like him, to conquer,
by conciliation, all hostile parties, and to bring into the
grand popular current those hostile streams which now

The Trieste Gazette has the following from

" The murderer of the MinisterKorfiolakia has been
executed. lie had written a letter to the widow of his
victim, to entreat her to implore the clemency of the
Queen, as the real authors of the murder were at liberty.
The Queen refused, and the execution was fixed for Sun-
day last. Another murderer was executed before him,
and when his turn came he advanced boldly towards the
scaffold, and attempted to read a paper to the crowd, but
was prevented. lie then drew forth a long knife, and
was about to stab the executioner, when the latter struck
him a blow ou the head. He then raised his knife
again, but the executioner with ha knife stabbed him,
and he fell to the ground. Au assistant executioner
then stabbed him in the back, and the executioner re-
peated his blows, inflicting seventeen wounds on the
whole. When he was dead the form of execution was
proceeded ou the dead body."

YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET,
AND THE FIELDS FOR TO-MORLW.V, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Like unto Monday's races, Ley opinion was
verified in nearly every instance, as I placed the first and
second for the Royal Stakes, the first, second, and third
for the Clearweil, and gave We?-thergage and Lady
Evelyn as likely occupants of the second and third poei
tions in the Cesarewitch. The horse that I most relied
on to pull me through, Le Juif, after a deal of manceav-
ring, was scratched—a creditable performance, truly.
The race is one that requires little comment, as three-
fourths of the horses were beaten by the time they had
reached the distance. The favourite took the lead when
two hundred and fifty yards from home, had the rest of
it his own way, and won cleverly ray half a length, Lady
Evelyn, who had been gradually improving her position
for the last quarter of a mile, not being able, notwith-
standing the artistic efforts of Frank, to get any
nearer than the half length. The Knight of the
Shire had quantum sue: half-way up the dis-
tance, and finished a bad third. The Indian
Warrior and his stable companion Kingston were
immediately upon the Knight's track. Behind them came
a large body of horses, at the head of which one of Lord
Exeter's and Little Davie figured prominently. The
pace was good, and time 4 min. 7 sec.
The race for the Royal Stakes was all one way;
Longbow, after waiting upon Poodle until half way up
the distance, went to his head and won easily by half a
length. Glenlace was a fair third, and Ilex an in-
different last. _ _

The Clearwell Stakes afforded us one of the prettiest
races ever seen at Newmarket, as it was a head and
head affair with Filbert, Estrella, Orinoco, and Lascelles
for the last hundred yards; Orinoco winning very
cleverly from Estrella by a head; the latter had only
half a length the advantage of F:lbert; who, iii his
turn, contrived to beat Lascelles by a neck. The
money invested upon Filbert for the Derby previous to
this race was enormous, amounting to very little short,
it is said, of 5,000 L, which will make the sum laid, at
30 to 1, about 150,0001. The horse was brought to the
post in anything but tip-top condition, and is capable of
a great deal of improvement; but, as I remarked yester-
day, will only turn out a sort of Midas in his racing
career, though much larger than that game little pony.
It seems that Ninnyhammer, notwithstanding the case
of forfeits, &c., will go to the post to-day for the Bed-
ford Stakes, and doubtless will give the winner a
tying-up.
Five stakes out of the seven set down to be run to-
morrow have yet to close and name.
The Cracow Stakes, Cesarewitch Course, will be con-
tested by only Ben Nevis and Wingenund.
The Bretby Stakes, last three-quarters of the Rowley
mile, will have the filly by Alarm, out of Rosalind, Miss
Tennyson, filly by Lanercost, out of Paleine, Dove, or
Phrygia (perhaps both), Glenavon, and, 'tis said, Syl-
phine. Not imagining that Sylphine can be in anything
like respectable form as yet, after the blistering and
other treatment she received some three or four wetl;s
ago, I must look to a darkie—the filly by Alarm, out of
Rosalind, and a well known runner, Phrygia, to fill the first
and second places, and place Glenavon third on the list.
The Match for 200, over the T.Y.C., between Nathan
and Sister to Caracara, will, I understand, be run; it
ought to terminate in favour of the latter.
In addition to the four I gave yesterday as the starters
for the Prendergast, must be enrolled the name of Sit-
tingbourne, who is now quite as good a favourite as
Cheddar.
The result of the Cesarewitch has had its effect upon
the London list houses, the &battings up at the West
End being more numerous than usual on the issue of a
great race. The City houses, which have got so many
enemies, are of a much more stable nature than their
brethren of the aristocratic locality. The sporting
public were rather astonished this morning at the clos-
ing of Mr. 11--'s of Long-acre and Farringdon-street,
whose name was considered as good as cash, but who, it
is reported, will eventually settle with his creditors in
full. What amazed the betting world most, however,
was the stoppage of a house hitherto considered invul-
nerable to the shafts of suspicion, Mr. C--'s, of King-
street, Covent-garden. Several other houses have also
disappeared, but they belong to that class only trusted
by relations from the country and other verdant persons.
Thu betting cilia morning at Newmarket on the Pren-
dergast is confined to offers on the field against Ched-
dar, and to back Sittingbourne and Orinoco respectively
at 7to 4 and 3to 1. The betting in town makes Sit-
tingbourne first favourite at a slight call of the field.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

TUESDAY'S RACES.

NEWMARKET, 5 o'dioci.--TheaUccess of the " grand
day" has in every respect come up to our expectations.
The cheap and first-class special and ordinary trains
brought an immense number of passengers, many of
them of rank. The weather has been remarkably fine,
the " gathering" on the heath equal to anything that
has been seen of late years, and tae racing, moderate it
must be admitted in quality, very interesting. If we
take the two days as a specimen, we may look forward
to a brilliant wind up to the Newmarket campaign.

The Rev. the VICE-CHANCLLLOR having briefly stated
the object of the assembling of Convocation,
The Registrar of the University (Dr. Buss) read the
statutes referring to the election, together with the Bri-
bery Act.
The Senior Proctor (the Rev. W. C. LAKE, of Bailiol
College) hero rose and asked permission of the Vice-
Chancellor to address the house upon the subject of the
election.
The Rev. the VICE-CHANCELLOR said he would not
refuse the request of the Rev. Gentleman, though at
that particular moment there was no question formally
before the house.

The SENIOR PROCTOR then proceeded to address the
assembly in a Latin oration, of which the purport was as
follows:—Ho said that as it appeared the election of
the Earl of Derby as Chancellor of the University was
to be unopposed, he could have wished that he might be
spared the necessity of saying anything which was cal-
culated to interrupt what seemed to be the unanimity of
the Convocation. Ho foresaw, however, that if the
business of the day were transacted in perfect silence, a
very false impression might be created with respect to
the feeling with which the University regarded the
event.—(Cheers.) Partly, he believed, on account 0(
the long vacation, and partly, he must also say, by the
fault of the University itself; no opportunity had been
given in the present instance for deliberation upon one
of the most important subjects which it was possible to
submit to the University.—(Partial cheers.) He
had deemed it, therefore, not to be inconsistent with his
duty, as Proctor of that University, and on behalf of
many resident, as well as of many more who were not
yet resident, to express to Convocation that which be
was convinced was a wide-spread and very prevalent
feeling. Let it not be supposed for a moment that be
had any intention of uttering a sic to word that was
hostile to the distinguished nobleman who was to be
nominated their Chancellor that day. The Earl of
Derby had said and done things which he (the Senior
Proctor) certainly did not much complain of; but he
must say that he was totally at a loss to conceive how such
speeches and acts of the Noble Earl could have recom-
mended him to their suffrages (turning to the doctors
and masters). He confessed for himself that he greatly
wondered at it, and he thought that hereafter they them-
selves would be equally surprised. Though he (the
Senior Proctor) did not appear before them as one of the
supporters of the Earl of Derby, yet he most willingly
recognised and acknowledged his high accomplishments,
his distinguished character, his vigorous intellect, his
great ability, his almost hereditary fame; and it the
Noble Earl had ever shown any interest in their
academic affairs, he (the Senior Proctor) had no doubt
that he would have been as able to assist them with his
counsels as be might be to defend them by his eloquence.
But the circumstance which he especially regretted was
the great rapidity with which they had proceeded to this
election. The transaction of a matter of such vast im-
portance at a period when the University was almost
deserted, and the absence of all consultation upon so
grave a subject on the part of those who were the most
deeply concerned in maintaining the character and the
credit of the University. 11t, was perfectly ready to
allow that the expedition which had been used was the
result of a wish to save the University from incon-
venience;
still, he could not admit that this design, how-
ever well. intentioned, had been marked by the prudence
with which all their affairs ought to be conducted; and
he thought it would be well to consider whether they
were not now establishing a precedent which might
hereafter be applied to promoting objects of party in-
trigue, rather than in conformity with the feelings which
he thoroughly believed to have influenced the Vice-
Chancellor. Believing, then, that it was of the highest mo-
ment to the interests of the University that its business
should be conducted with the gravest deliberation and
the amplest discussion. he had felt himself imperatively
„ailed upon, thus publicly and in his official capacity, to
deplore the circumstance that on this important occa-
sion—he granted with AO evil intention, nevertheless by
a great imprudence—a full, free, and fair opportunity
had not been given to the whole University for express-
ing its deliberate and matured opinion,—(Applause.)
The VICE-CIIANCELLoR'S reply, also in Latin, was to
this effect:—He said the Senior Proctor had expostulated
with him upon the haste with which the University had
proceeded to the election. He could assure the assembly,
however, that everything which bad been done was in
strict conformity with statute and with usage.—(Ap-
plause.) In the course of the last 80 years there had
been two instances in which vacancies in the Chancellor-
ship of the University has! been filled up during the long
vacation. In one of these cases the Chancellor died in
the month of September, and the election of his succes-
sor took place on the 3d of the following mouth of Oc-
tober. In the other, the Chancellor died in the month of
August, and his successor was appointed in September.
Ho hoped, therefore, that ho had vindicated himself to
the University for having, uninfluenced by party consi-
derations or private views, done what he thought best
for the University and most in conformity with custom.
The election was then proceeded with in the usual
manner. No formal nomination was made; but a few
members of Convocation recorded their votes for the
Earl of Derby, who, after proclamation by the esquire
beadel (Mr.V. Cox), was declared by the Rev. the Vice-
, Chancellor to be unanimously elected. Subsequently
the voting-papers were collected, and, according to im-
memorial custom at all University elections, placed in a
brazier and consumed by fire. With this ceremony,
amusing to all but the sedate gentlemen who superin-
tended its performance, the business of the election ter-
minated.

(The Earl of Derby was not present.
The following notice has just been issued :
