NATURALIZATION
Py an arrival at New York, yesterday, we
have European advices to September 19:
ENGLAND.
Ttio 11 mi It of F.njtlntul It Condition
and MmiHireuieiit
The half yearly court oi' the Governor and
proprietor in ibe Bank of England was held
September 17. The Governor said that the
directors had carefully gone through the
accounts, and he had to report tbat the net
profit for the jearending Aunust 30 anounled
to 584,HC9 8s. 6d making the amount of rest
or undivided profits on that day 3,018,596 17s.
Id. After providins lor a dividend of four per
cent for the hi.lf jear, the rest would amount to
3,028,47617. Id. Tbe Court Of Governor,
therefore, proposed that a half year's dividend
be made of four per cent., being at the rate ot
eight per cent, per annum, and that the dividend
be pajable on the 10th of October next.
Tbe Governor, In replying to various question
put by Mr. Jones and other proprietors, said
tbat tbe capital of the bank upon which divi
dend had to be paid was 14,553.000. All the
rest of the property belonging tD tbe bank were
the profits arising out of the bank' operations,
and It was comiuonlv called "rest." The rest
was the undivided profits, which tbe court of
proprietors long since decided should never be
allowed to fall below 3,000.000. Tbe building
in whlrh they were assembled occupied rather
over three acres of ground, audits value was
not Included In the cipltal, but the branch
eptnulibhmeuts were. With regard to the rate
ol discount being different on lo.ig and short
loaus gentlemen of experience mut know that
a discount was a short transaction for a short
time, and a loan might eitend over a scries of
?ears and the rate must be differcut. In 18G6
be discount was 10 per cent., but the consols
were only 2j; railway debntures, in sooie
cases, were at 5. There were deposits of a per
manent character, which, the biard knew ho v
to deal with, and there were also short demsits,
which they might be called upon to pay aud
must be prepared to pay at any moment. As to
tie bank not having deposits, he relieved the
deposits had never been so large as not, per
haps, at tbat moment ot speaking but over an
average of the list 6iz mouths. (Cheers.) No
doubt the country would be benefited by money
being lent to taraierp, but it was not the pro
vince of this bank to lend it to them. It could
only safely be done by the local bankers, aud
even to them it was a question fraught
with grave difficulty. Witn recard to the
rate of discount, the explauatlou was
simple. Every one remembered tbat rive or six
years ego, that was a period ante to the crisis
of 18C6. there was a very great extension ot
credit, but those sudden and excessive exten
aions of credit were not always wise. Tbe first
etlect of it was this thnt those who embarked
in hiisiness were suddenlv called upon to pay
their debts, and to do thatthey had to withdraw
money from the legitimate operations they were
engased iu, and thai produced a crisis. Wn.t
took place in 1G6 had been miscalled a panic.
It w.s a crisis arising from, and following natu
rally upon too wide an extension of credit, and
this crisis out of its convulsions produced paoic.
Uoon the 12ih ol May it was a booking pauic,
when peorle were seized with unreasoning tear
for the safety of their money, and rushed to
the backs and withdrew Is in many Instances
to replace it in the same bank, find
ing they did not know what to do
with it when they bai it In their posses
sion. Then cime a rail ay panic, wha people
t. ought that rail way debentures of nil kinds were
not worth buying. This was succeeded by a
commcicial panic, when the trade cime almost
to a standstill ;JjiU through all tut 1 eoroora'.ion
hao steered one steady course. With reeard to
the rate of discount, it of course depended very
much upon tbe supply and demand. If there
was a large sum ot money to lend and a few
borrowers the money must goat aloerrate
than if the number ot borrowers were greater.
Whether the bank bad too much money to lend
or too few borrowers tbe re.su It was the same.
Borne faid tbat the bank rniuht invest up m
some other securieties, but they forgot tbat the
bank bad to pay on demand, an 1 it would be
u e'esR to tell a man asktug tor his money that
it had been invested in a site ai'l snug security.
The report was approved aad the dividend

SPAIN.
QaCen Isabella' I rgciit Apjtcitls to X-
poll' on.
Paris (Sept. 18) Correspondence of London Times.
Tbe Oueen of Spain has carried her point,
after a fashion and at the cost of her own hu
miliation. We already know that a very bad
impression has been caused in Madrid by the
news that the intended going to Biarritz to see
the Emperor, when by the rules of etiquette the
Visit should be lrom him to ber. A courtier
named Count Kzpaleta was sent to B'arrltz to
negotiate the atlair aud found tbe warm support
of tne tiro press, who must ba rather amused by
her former sovereltrn's eagerness for imperial
patronage. Count Cipaleta was still at Biarritz
tn Wednebday, and it was arranged that there
should be an intercbauae of visits, the Queen
beginning. Of.course, when her Tutholic Majesty
sued lor permUsion to go a second timet.) Biarritz
it could not well be refused ber, nor could
the Kmperor, beiug witbin two hours' rail of
Bt Sebastian, avoid returning tbe visit. Bat
the aim will not be attained not even the
moral effect, which probably was all that the
Queen and her counselors rea'.ly hoped for.
Unpopular, and even detested tboush she be
throughout Spuin, she is still Li Reyna, the
Queen and chief of tbe Spiinish nation, and
Bpanish pride is b tterly clialcd at seeing her
pay her court to Napoleon. The step she has
taken will certainly not retard tor a tingle day
the catastrophe, of which the day is uncertain,
but tbe occuneuee Inevitable. As regards any
solid advantage to be r aped from the inter
views, probably tbe Queen her-elf does not
venture to hope for that. If while she and the
Emotror were together to day at Biarritz, or
to-UM rrow at St. S-baitian, uess were to como
ot a revolution at Madrid, and that biU Spain
was arming and rismtr, tbe Kmperor, we may
be well assured, would openly sympathize aud
condole, and m'ght express every wish
for her Catholic Majesty's triumph
over her enemie; but would not
further that trluuarh by the aid of a
s ogle bayonet, not even though the bait were
held out to him of halt the Bpaulsh army to gr
T'cnn Home in the event of a Prusnan war. The
Emperor knows too we'l what such an Oder
would be worth. The reports spread of the
Teadines of the BDanish Government to send
troops to Rome havp already cause 1 discontent
in bpain, and especially in tbe army, it may
not be irenerallv knows, out there is no country
in wh eh tbe military service ot the Pontiff is
in lets esteem than In Spam. When tbe Italians
took a great part of LatnoricWs army prisoners
in 18G0, and swept into their net French and
Auttrians. Bdeians. Irish, aud Dutch, and many
ot ber nationalities in large numbers, they got
only five Spaniards. Cavoar had inquiries made
atoat these men, aud out of the live three
proved to be escaped galley slaves. Iu the

Knpreme Conrt at Nisi Prlns Chief Jus
tice Thompson and Justice Hbarswood. Tnls
morning tne process of naturalization in ibe
bupreme Court was interrupted for the purpose
of considering the application for a mandamus
requiring J. Koss Hnowden, the Prothonotitry,
to permit tbe reporters of Tim Evening Tblk
okafh to have access to tne records of ihe
Court, for tbe purpose of giving to tbe public, tbe
names, residences, and vouchers of tne persons
ot foreign birth wbo nave been and ara now
being naturalized in tbat Court. When the
matter was called up, Colonel fciuowUou au
di ssed tbe Court as follows:
' May It please jour Honors: I wish to call
tbe attention of the Court to the allegations
made In various newspapers and elsewhere,
tbat tbe business of this Court is improperly
conducted in tbe matter of naturalization of
aliens, and to ask the opinion of the Court in
tbis matter, whether the sarai lias not been
done under its direction, aud la accordance
with the uniform practice of this Court; and,
also, wbetber I bave not as Us offloer acted in
accordance with tbe directions of tbe Court in
all matters pertainlug to Ibis bUBlnets?"
Judge Share wood sld In response to Colonel
Bnowden that the issue of naturalization papers
bad been In tbe presence of the Court, aud had
been conducted in precisely tbe same m inner
tbat be had duriag tbe past twenty-five years
known It to be done. And Chief Justice Thomp
son added tbat so particular had Colonel Snow
den's assistants been in tne administration of
the oath that several times they had stooped
tbe proot edlngs to ask the advice of tbe Court
upon tbe sufficiency of proofs offered by the
applicants. This same Protbonoiary bad done
tbe business of naturalization before four of the
Judges of this Court, and always Just as he was
proceeding at the present time.
Judge Sbarswood here further said tbat this
was an occurrence of every four years, whlih
be bad witnessed twenty-five years In the Dis- '
trlct Court; once, in 1856, on a much larger
scale than this year, and tbe course pursued
here seemed to be tbe same as bad been adopted
there.
Alr.Wm.McMlcbael.oneoflhecounselfor peti
tioners of yesterday, said, tbat without criti
cising tbe oonduot ot tbe Prothonotary, whlol
be considered beyond his province, be would
make a statement, and no application. A
formal petition, In which certain voters of the
city had Joined, was yesterday made to this
Court for permission to examine tbe resords of
ttae.e proceedings; and he would ante wbetber
tbey were not entitled to that permission; and
also, wbetber members of tbe bar had not the
right of access to them personally, or through
titicir cIqi ks.
Colonel Bnowden here remarked tbat he was
always ready and willing to grant this free
access to gentlemen when It could be done
without d it com mod in k tbe business of his
office. On tbe first day after these proceedings
bad been commenced a gentleman, represent
ing blmself to be a memoer of ihe bar, had
asked to be allowed to examine the certificates
of naturalization as they were made out, and
be gave that gentleman a seat beside him,
telling bim to copy at his pleasure
tbe nmes and addresses of those
applying for naturalization; aud be proceeded
to do this, leaving his place without any inti
mation fiom him to do so. Bo far as be was
coucerned any one was at liberty to do this as
tbe business progressed; but as to those persons
xieretoioie naturalized, tne recoias were not
j et made up. It was always the practice of the
Court to make up this record after adjourn
ment, for it was impossible to do it sooner. He
was perfectly willing tbat It should be seen.foi.'
be had notbiDg whatever to conceal.
Mr. Lewis Wain Smith, also counsel for tbe
petit ioceis, assured the Court tbat there was
nothing in the petition Intended to impale
irregularity in tbe course of Colonel Bnowden
ana men an inference was not desired
to be draws. But in such a large naturallza
ion ss whs aolne on here, be conceived
It to be almost impossible tbat some Instances
of fraud stould not have occurred; and, there-
lore, in nttiaii of tne geuiiemen ior wnom
be appeal eu, ne wouia respeouuiiy as't tne
ouri. to tyrant access to these papers to the
reporters and others who should have proper
reasons for seeking it. If the Court should s )
direct, these gentlemen would be wl'ling to
send their clerks, or pay reasonable fee", to
obtain ihe Information tbey desired, in time
lor the rre siuenuai election.
Judee Bbarswood replied tuat ne eouia not
say further than be bad already said; tbe Pro
thonotary was the legal custodian of tbe
records, and he could not order him to let them
go out of his bands and oommlt them to straa-
ters wno mignt, possioiy, carry tnem on. cat
be could tee no objection to allowing these gen
tlemen to examine these papers in the presence
ol one of tbe Proihonotarv's clerks.
Colonel Bnowden remarked that he naa not
yet put bis signature to tbe Jurats; tbat it was
t tie custom ior tne vouoners to appear, tne
uratsto be presented, and tbe oath adminis
tered before tbe Court, and then for him to put
his signature to them afterwards lu the ofll je.
But, this being understood, he would readdy
assent to any respectable person examining
the bundles of papers in tbe presence of his
clerk, wbo wai at the present time in his little
office at work npon tbe reoord.
Mr. Bmlth said that this was ail mat was de
sired.
Tbe Chief JuBllce observed that this was a
most unusual application, lie had never known
another such, made for the purpose of taking
tbe records from the hands of tbe Prothonotary,
It should be remembered that tne constitution
provided for the appointment of a Prothono-
tnry, and made It hisduty to keep strict custody
f tbe record; and It wtts greatly to the credit
of such oilicer to refuse to allow tnem to go out
of bis keeping.

About half-past 3 o'clock yesterday mornlnor,
a Gerruau was found in the neighborhood ot
Fourth and Vine streets in a high state ot ex
hilaratton. Bo exuberant were hU spirits that
( iflicer Agar, of the Seventh Pollen District, took
him into custody and conducted him to the
Station House, where h was committed on a
charge ot drunken and disorderly conduct.
On being searched, tbe pockets of the incor
heient eentleman were fouud to contain tbrea
documents of a verv interesting chaiaeter. One
ot them was a small blue card, very much the
worse lor wear, reading as follows:

ONE NATURALIZATION PAPER,
AND CBAIiOIS COMMITTEE.

BAMUEL D. DAILEY, Beoretary.
The second document consisted of a peti
tion for naturalization, the blank bavlnir been
duly filled up tn a neat clerkly hand, setting
forib tbat the applicaut, Lous TJber, was a
native ol Wirtembere, tbat he arr.ved In New
York in the nar 1853, that he was at that time
under eighteen years ot Hire, aud that he had
declared bis inteution of becoming a clt'zn of
tbe United States. The petMon was dated Sep
tember 28, was duly signed 'Louis Uoer," there
beirg a cseck mark opposite tbe tknatare In
each case, but had not yet been signed by eltder
a voucher or the Pothouotary of tbe Supreme
Court, nor did it bear the seal of the Court.
Tbe remaining document whs a na'uralizatlon
blank, tilled up in tbe same clerkly hand as the
petition, dated September 26, but not yet
signed by the Prothonotary, which blank?, in
this condition, are supposed never to leave the
custody ol tbe Pro'honotary.
When Louis Uber was questioned as to these
documents, be s'ateil to tb officers tbat on the
twentv-i-ix'h, three days before his arrest, It
should be remembered, he encountered two
men on the street, one of them an Americau
and the o'her a German, both of them being
unknown tobim byname, and ote never havng
b( en seen by him beiore. Uber was handed the
above-mentioned documents by these ineu, was
by them taken into theoilijeof a sugar house
r esr by, where he signed tho application by
their request; and was then told that he was
now a naturalized citizen, aud tbat he would
not be obliged to go into Court and swear to tne
papers, as he could vote on tnem as Ihey were.
Tbis uiorninE Uber was taken frou his cell,
and on the character of tbe documents biing
explained to him, he went be ore Ald-?ruuu
Toland and made tbe following affidavit:

Tbe signature to the affidavit was in the same
hand as those affixed to tbe petition.
The papers were, of cour-c, worthless at any
poll In tbe city where an opportunity is given
to challcnee. and where ihe right to do so can
be exercised with safety. Among the interesting
questions that arise concerning the documents
is one as to wbetber Louis I ber, If taken into
court, would not have been Induced to swear
straight ahead to tbe truthfulness of tuc facts
set forth iu the petition, allbo'igh they so
pointedly contradict the facts as they appear in
his affidavit bc'ore Alderman Toland. Another
aucsti ti arlsine is how many papers titled up
in Htmlar fashion, without any reeard to the
truth, ate daily syorn to and set afloat?

following:
Finding that hlB indorsement of Kenejale
KinEella, of Biooklyn, latleJ to pas curreut, tbe
irn pressible "Brick" Porueroy changes his mode
of attack on the The Irish Peop'e. In last Satur
day's Democrat, "Brick" states that the "price
of"Sf7ieieop!e'slatei''ical flip flap was $3U00;"
and he gives Colonel Nag e as his authority tor
the statement. If we w re to use the language
of ordinary pned breeding in dealing with such
men as "Brick, Wj fear ihey would not cle irly
compreberd out meaning; but we desire to bo
nnn lstakably undersiojd even by the Bemocra ,
thi.t we therefore emphatically assert tbat either
"Brick" or Nagle has uttered a gross and impu
debt lie we do not know which of them is
guilty they mutt settle that between them
selves. It is true that we were ottered $5U0O by
the Democrats if we would treacherously forget
our duty to our coun.ry and support their can
didates duting the present cainpalsn. But
$ni0,000-no, not all the plunder that ever tuc
Ttiinmany King accumulated could win us from
the path which duty points out. Vb.it, u
doubt, was the origin of "Brick's" last slander.

Pittsfiexd, Sept. 25, 18C8. General F. W,
Palfrey: Dear Bir I am In receipt of your
tclctrrani of this date asking it 1 "will take com
inand ot Massucnusetts oeiegauon to ftouuers'
and Sailors' Convention at Philadelphia." I am
no politician. If I were to be classed at all I
suppose it would be as a war Democrat. And
having been a war Democrat during the war,
now tbat the war is over 1 mot certainly de ire
peace a peace that was so steadily fought for,
a peace that was so rainy won. xnnt peace
vould seem now to be threatened unless the
men who surrendered unconditionally at Appo
mattox are allowed to dictate terms to the men
who taught tbem, through tour bloody years,
that the way of rebellion is hard. I believe In
Ihe utmost liberality and magnanimity towards
a I alien foe, and I would ettend tbe hand right
heartily in tokeu of toreglveness and frlenrtsbip.
Such liberality characterized Grant's terms as
General of the Army when Urbellton laid down
Its aims. Such magnanimity and charity will,
I believe, maik his course as Commander-in-Chief.
Believing as I do in the soun In -ss of
lictirt of the BOldiers in llasachuietts, their
devotion to truth, to valor, aud to justice, I
shall iu peace follow witn tbem, or, la Hog a

UN.VERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Induction Into Office of the New rroTOSt
A Brilliant Assemblage at the Academy
of Music Address of the Recipient
of the Honor, Frerost Charlci
J. Btille, LL.D.
Etc, VAC, tc, Ete., . Etc. ESe.
KAt noon to-day tbe vacancy In tne Trovost's
chair of Philadelphia's (treat institute of learning-the
University of Penns?lvania caused by
tbe resignation of Daniel It. Goodwin, LL. D.,
was filled by the formal induction into tha
otlice of Professor Charles J. Stillc, LL. D.
Tbe ceremonies took place at the Academy of
Music; aud never was tbat spacious
building more densely thronged with
beauty and erudition. The graduates
of tbe institution gathered by thousands
rom every section ot the land to participate in
the occasion and uo better proof could have
been afforded of the reppectand veneration wllh
which tbey who own it ns their alma miier
regard the aged college, than the presence of
the scores of hoary heads which left Us balls
maDy years ago in youthful brownness. The
fairer gender, aho which has always taken
such a lively Interest in the success of
the institution testified la hundreds
that thnt interest bad in no
degree abated, by their gracing of orchestra,
parquette, and balcony. Serene matrons were
there whose hearts had palpita'.ed with pride
years agone at the graduation of that sob who
now fills an important station in the State, the
pulpit, or on tbe bench; aud coy, blooming
lassies were likewise there whose brothers are
yet reaching forward to the reception of thelr
'Bheep-skins." It is al ways a momentous event
in the history ot any college when a new
President is inducted into office. Then, the
whole progress of the institution from its very
founding is brought plainly to remembrance,
and the time is made one of general and heart
felt reunion among both unJer graduates and
Alumni. Such was the case to-day. The paBt
achievements and fair record of the University
were all brought to mind, and her fair prospects
In tbe future caused many hand-shakings and
felicitations. Music also lent Us aid in increas
lug the pleasure of the hour. Everything was
happy, and all went well.
After the rendering of several airs by the Qer-
mania Orchestra, and tbe performance of the
preliminary ceremonies, Dr. Stille delivered the
following address:
Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees, Lidies ni
Gentlemen: While I am deeply sensible of the
honor which has been conferred upon me by
my eleotlon as Provost of the University, I
enter upon the oflloe with unfeigned distrust of .
my own capacity, and a most anxious sense of
the responsibilities which suoh a position Im
poses upon me. I am not unmindful that I
have been placed at tbe head of the oldest lite
rary institution in tbe Commonwealth, and of
one of the oldest In tbe eounti y an Institution
which has numbered among Us pupils and pro
fessors many of those who durlog the past
century bave best Illustrated our Philadelphia
life. I know, moreover, tbat the authorities
of the University, not satisfied with what has
been done in the past, but la full sympathy
with the intensest activities of tne present, are
now devising generous plans for enlarging its
usefulness and extending Its advantages, and
tbat they rely upon me for aid and oo operation
In giving those plans practical shape and dlras
tlon. Such reflections , while they impress me
With the magnitude of tbe task wulon. I have
undertaken, stimulate the devotion of all the
powers lean command for Us accomplishment.
I propose to-day to enter upon a most import
ant department of my duties. I cannot forget
tbat the University of Pennsylvania is pre
eminently a Philadelphia institution, and that
we, as citizens of Philadelphia, have all a com
mon Interest In Its reputation aud prosperity.
As It is clearly the duty or the Trustees s to
enlarge and modify the course of instruc
tion here as fully to meet the require
ments of this age and this community, so It
seems to me the special business of the Provost
to direct public attention to its affair j by present
ing from time to time some account of the
manner In which the vast Interests oonflded to
it are cared for. I call these Interests vast, for
it seems to me impossible to overrate their far-
reaching importance. To us has been oommlt
ted tbe higher education of all those In Phila
delphia wh o receive any liberal culture what
ever. Tbe number of young men instructed
here, and the cbaraoler of tbat Instruc
tion, most determine in a great measure, not,
perhaps, whether Philadelphia la to remain a
rich and populous city, but whether she la to
become a cultivated, liberal, and enlightened
metropolis.
It is not to be denied tbat in the history of
Philadelphia opportunities for the highest cul
ture bave not kept pace with the munificent
provisions which have been made for tbe syste
matic relief of every form of human su tiering.
The body has been, perhaps, more oared for
here tnau the mind. But It was not always so.
Tbat Illustrious citizen of Philadelphia whose
name is identified with all tne early efforts to
establish here useful puollo InxUlutlons, had
quite as much at heart ihe suooess of this Uni
versity, which be founded, as that of the Penn
sylvania HoHpltal, whose establishment he so
earnestly promoted. HeoJuilu Kranklln, like
all true legislators, knew that a eoinmunity
could become truly great and powerful only by
the harmonious development of all the life that
was in It. It Is not too late to follow his ex
ample and learn afreli the lesson whlon he
taught us.
With such an object in view, I propose to ask
your attention to some very plain and praolloal -remarks
upon the need of a blher and more
generous, liberal culture la PuUadelphl, and
ihe position now occupied by the University of
Pennsylvania In Its efforts to supply that need,
ii y the term liberal oulture 1 wish to desig
nate tne blgbeBt and most comprehensive form
of education, (he beet system of intellectual
training which may be accessible ti young,
men iu this country. This Is tne kind of edu
cation which Is aimed at with more or less suc
cess in all the colleges of tbe country, and th.ese
colleges differ from each other not ao muoli la
tbe otjtcl tbey seek as in the manner la fybloh
tnry it kit. Within a lew years, especially
since tbe close of the war, a renewed Interest
has been excited la tbe .utJot of oolite edu
cation. Mot. only is tue aggregate r,auiuer of
those recti vlug Instruction la oolP8S muoa
larger sow than at any former p jrVo(ii but the
whole snt iect b been thoroughly Ulseussed)
with reference to Its prsolloa HHpeots, aad la
manvof tbe best known eoli et great modifi
cations of the old system j,ave taken place.
The battle bas raged nerrly Qpoa tae respect
ive merits of the rj)asloal and teohnloal
methods of training. Tne result is even now
uncertain. KnougH , transDlred. however.
to produce a gene looiivloii u that the highest
culture is tbe r uii0f a harmonious develop
ment of all tf a iaouliles, and that an exclusive
training by ;Uur of those methods does not
