. Satueday , January 15 . The poll at Oxford yesterday shows an aggregate increase of ten votes over that of Thursday . Out of the 31 votes recorded , 18 were for Mr . Gladstone and 13 for Mi * . Perceval . It was hoped that this extraordinary and unparalleled contest would at all events be brought to a conclusion this evening ; but that , it appears , will not be the case , as the committee of Mr . Perceval are determined that the poll shall be kept open as long as the law will allow . The poll will , therefore , be continued until Thursday next . STATE OF THE POLL AT FIVE O ' CLOCK . Gladstone 947 Perceval . 817 Majority for Gladstone . . 130 Last night The Captain of the Watch , a farce in one act by Planche ; and The Windmill , also a one act farce , by Morton , were performed before her Majesty .

A large marquee is being erected , which is expected to contain about 3000 people . The meeting will take place about the 4 th or 7 th of February . It was intended to have held the banquet at the Working Men ' s Hall at an earlier period , but that p lace had been licensed by the magistrates as a theatre , and somewhat unexpectedly the bench took care to insert a clause in the license , forbidding the lessee to suffer the building to be used for any other purpose whatever .

The first groat ball given by tin ; IOinperor . since his elevation to the Imperial dignity took place at the pularo- of the Tuilcrios on Wednesday night , and the public rooms of that ancient abode of royalty wort ; . seen for the first time with all the decorations which Louis Napoleon has lavished upon them since lie has had the uncontrolled command of the public purse . The ball was upon the whole a very splendid one , although the company was not so choice as might have been expected . The number of invitatioiiH was limited to 2000 , who had to assemble in apartments capable of accommodating double the number of guests . There
was a vast number of public functionaries and foreigners , hut it was observed that there were fewer of the fashionables of the Faubourg St . Germain than had appeared at any of Louis Napoleon's previous bulls . The t'o / y / x diplomat ' i uc and their ladies were all present , and also a great number of Knglish officers in uniform . The IOinperor , who wore the uniform of a general , with white small-clothes and silk stockings , opened the ball with the IYinocs . s Malhilde , having for v / x-ii-nix Prince Napoleon and Lady ( Jowley . It was
the first time that the non and daughter of the ox-king . Jerome had been brought , since their quarrel , ho immediately in contact . Kvon the recent elevation of their position , and tin ; improvements their fortunes , arc not able to conquer the enmity between the brother and witHler . Lord ( Nnvley danced with Mrs . Hope . At midnight , thti doors ol" the su " ppor-rooin were thrown open . The IOinperor handed in Lady ( , ' owley ; M . Kould the 1 ' rinccmh Mathilde ; ML Haroche the ( , ' ounteHH WalewHlci . The Kmperor ' H table consisted of only ten places . Jt , whh placed at the further end of tho &uppor-room , und
Notwithstanding the fatigues of the night , the Emperor presided on Thursday in the Council of Sta . te , where the new law respecting the pensions to be granted to retired functionaries was under discussion . By the eprsent law the highest pension cannot exceed 6000 f . Louis Napoleon insisted that the limit should be extended to 12 , 000 f ., and the Council of State yielded . This decision will open the door to a heavy expense to the Treasury . , iven bthe
was separated from the rest of the company . At this table the Emperor himself did the honours . The party at this table consisted of the above-named ladies , the Countess Montejo , Madlle . de Montejo , the wife of Marshal de St . Arnaud , the Countess de Hatzteld , Madame Firmin . Hogier , and the Countess Nanschm . The Emperor retired at half-past one , but the ball was continued till day-break . There was some confusion at the supper-table , in consequence of the inexperience of the new chamberlains , but , upon the whole , the affair went off welland was decidedly brilliant .
The latest news from Montenegro , as g y Triester Zeitung , reports the blockade of the Albanian coast by the Turks , and the retreat of the insurgents into their mountain fastnesses , pursued by the armyof Omer Pacha on one side , and by the levies of the Vizier of Scutari on the other . The Trieste paper is tho only source of information we have , and its reports do not command unhesitating credence . In the speech addressed by General Gemeau to the
Pope on New Year ' s Day , when presenting the officers of the French army of occupation , the general thus spoke of recent events in the history of his country : — " France , led captive by the Spirit of Evil , was marching to an abyss . The elect of Providence was revealed , and France Inew him . Then it was that God paid to France the debt of his church . It is our joy , holy father , to believe that we owe this miraculous benefit in an especial manner to your prayers in favour of a country so proud of the aid it has been , able to render and yet renders to tho holy see .

A commission de lunatico inquirendo , touching the state of mind of the Earl of Eldon , was held yesterday at Shirley-park , near Croydon , his lordship ' s residence , by Mr . Commissioner Winslow and a most respectable jury of seventeen gentlemen resident in the neighbourhood , of whom Mr . Thomas Puckle , chairman of the Surrey quarter sessions , was foreman . The jury returned a verdict , finding that Lord Eldon was of unsound mind , and that he had been of unsound mind from the 4 th of June , 1851 . It is said tho estates thus brought under the surveillance of the Court of Chancery amount to nearly 60 , 00 OL a-year . It was also rumoured in the court , though it did not come out in evidence , that the over study which has had such a disastrous effect on . Lord Eldon ' s mental health was incurred in collecting and preparing- tbe materials for the life of his illustrious grandfather , which formed the groundwork of the late Mr . Twiss's well-known Life of Lord Chancellor Eldon .

Till ; CONVICT KIKWAN . The following statement appears in the Dublin police reports of yesterday : — " Yesterday morning ' , shortly after Mr . Porter , the pro-Hiding magistrate , had taken his seat , Mr . Hoswell again appeared , and said lie luul an application to make to the bench in reference to the ciiho of the convict fvirwan and the ; imputations that were publicly attached to him , on a charge ; of his having nuirdcn . td the late Mr . Jtiehard Downes Uoyor . He ( Mr . Ho . swcll ) had in his possession , and he pledg-ed
hmiHcli to product ; tho moot Hatinfaetory , the most conclusive evidence , to show that this last accusation against Kirwan was tbe result of a conspiracy most foully concocted against him , and he would at onco place documents containing proofs tho most convincing in the magistrate's IiuiuIh , provided ho was promised that a public investigation should be held in tho cane . Ho was prepared with proofs showing that Mr . Boyer bad , in fact , died at Killcshandra , county of Cavan , in tin ; year 1 H 41 , and that ho was buried then 1 .
'" Jvlr . Hoswell then produced a document from tho Rov . Mr . Martin , Protestant rector of KillcHhandra , stating that a person named ' Richard Downes Itowyer IMako' had ( hod , and was buried there in November , 1 H 42 . " A certificate from a medical practitioner named I ) onoghoe ( as wo undorntood ) , resident in the locality above mentioned , was also produced , and stated that the writer had attended the permm in question at Killeshandra in hiri last illness . Mr . I '< nler said ho nboiild ut one *; and distinctly refuse to hold any public investigation , because thorn was no
complaint whatever against K ' irwan as yet , ponding before him . Jhe executive branch of the police had received certain statements , and had inquired a knowledge of certain f ' aoln which had from | , itn < t ( , time been verified on oath before him ( Mr . I ' orter ) and other divinional justices . If Mr . JJohwcII pliMTiUumfolf in communication with the CoinmiHHioiiera ol Police , such documents hh those referred to would perhaps bo received by them , und , when they should have been verified on oat ' li , there would not , perhaps , exist any objection to give publicity to the entire of the eiroumtttaneeH . " Mr . Uoswoll hiivinir declared his intention of wuiting on Colonel Urowno . retired from tho board-room . "

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The total number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week that ended last Saturday was 965 . In tho ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52 the average number was 1145 , which , if raised in proportion to the increase of population during tjiese years , gives a mortality of 1260 for the present time . Therefore ^ the deaths returned last week , exhibit a reduction of 295 on
the estimated amount . The present return shows that 487 males and 478 females died last week , and of these deaths 432 occurred under 15 years of age , 319 at 15 and under 60 years , and 209 at 60 years and upwards . As regards the causes to which the 955 cases are assig-ncd , the epidemic class numbers tho largest proportion , uamely 206 , though this falls below the average of corresponding ' weeks ; and the next in numerical results are " diseases of the organs of respiration , " to which only 174 deaths were referred last week . The
mortality of the latter class is lower than in any corresponding week since 1840 , the numbers in this period ranging from 183 to 429 , and is less than tho corrected average of the ten corresponding- weeks by 124 . The 174 deaths arc thus distributed : to laryngitis 4 , bronchitis 93 , pleurisy 5 , pneumonia 52 , asthma 11 , other diseases of the respiratory organs 9 . Phthisis , which stands in the tubercular class , also exhibits a comparatively low mortality , there being-10-1 deaths ascribed to it ( all of which , except . 9 , occurred between 15 and 60 years ) , while the corrected average for the week is 147 .
At the lioyal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29-485 iu . The mean temperature of the week was 45-3 dog ., which is 9 * 7 deg . above the average of the same week in 38 years . The mean daily temperature was much above the average on . every day " of tbe week . It was highest on Sunday , when it was 48-9 dcg ., or 12-6 deg . above the average , and on the following days the excess was successively 7 " 7 , 11 ' 3 , 9-7 , 7-2 , 11-4 , and 8-3 deg .
