THIS day week an secideat of a very fearful kind occurred at the works.now in progress for the erection of a railway viaduct across the Thames, near Blackfriars-bridge. Seven men engaged in moving a massive crane across one of the spans of the scaffolding erected at this point were ' precipitated into the river from a height of forty feet, the crane, weighing upwards of fourteen tons, falling with them. It seems marvellous that any of the men should have escaped, but happily they were all picked up alive, except one poor fellow, who having probably been stunned, if not killed, by the fall, was searched for in vain at the time, his body having at length been found floating opposite Somerset House on Wednesday last. Many lives, however, besides those of the work men employed on the crane, might easily have been lost id a crash of this nature, and on Satur day, bad it occurred but a minute or two earlier, the number of victims would in all probability have been multiplied by tens if not by hundreds. The beams or girders that suddenly snapped beneath the travelling crane connected the two tiers or stages of scaffolding that stand about the middle of the river, the span correspond ing with the middle arch of the bridge, and being wider at that point than at any other opening in order to leave ample room for the passage of boats and steamers. The ponderous engine thus fell right into the central path or great highway of the river traffic, where steamers, barges, and boat* of all kinds were continually peering to and fro. Providentially at the moment of the crash only a single barge with two men on board was beneath the fatal beams, and the crane just clearing the barge in its descent, the men happilyescaped with a few cuts and bruises from the broken timber. But only a minute or two before a river steamer crowded with passengers had passed the very spot, so that had the steamer been only a few seconds later, or the movement of the crane a little quicker, the accident, fearful as it was, would have been converted into one of a far more fatal and appalling kind. Though " travelling " cranes have been in use a considerable time, this is, so far as we remember, the first serious accident connected with their working. It certainly, however, ought to serve as a warning, and for the sake of the public safety it was most important that the whole circumstances of the case should be thoroughly investigated. These cranes are constantly employed above the highways of traffic, not only on the river, but in our crowded streets, and any lurking insecurity in the temporary stages or spans they traverse is fraught with most serious danger to the public as well as to the men employed on the works. It is desirable, therefore, on public grounds, that the exact circumstances of the recent accident should be folly known, in order, if possible, to find out the cause, and thus obtain guidance for the future. The main facts were brought out yesterday at the inquest held on the body of JAMES Km's, the poor man who was drowned. The result is to some extent, so far, that is, as any clear knowledge of the cause is concerned, unsatisfactory. There was, it is true, no lack of evidence with regard to the exact conditions under which the accident oc curred, but the testimony even of the professional witnesses best qualified to judge, failed to bring out with any distinctness the real cause of its oc currence. Speaking as professional men, and looking at the matter from a scientific point of view they seem, indeed, to have agreed in opinion that there was no perceptible cause, and that in fact the accident ought not to have occurred. There was no defect in the plan of the trusses or girders that gave way, and none could be discovered in the manner of its execution. According to the calculation of Mr. PERKINS, who superin tended the construction of this portion of the works, the cross girders ought to have sup ported a weight of more than fifty tons. Yet on the first trial they snapped beneath a load of fifteen. There can be little doubt that, taking experience as &guide, all the precautions usually deemed wow eery for strengthening the beams and making them fit for their work had been adopted. But it is clear also from the evidence that in this instance theme was to some extent peculiar. The span, for instance, was much wider than usual. Wu.u.se TRENTON, the foreman of the labourer at theworks, states in his evidence before the jury that " there were " similar beams in use elsewhere on the works, " but not such long ones." The span was in fact seventy feet, while the beams that crossed it, con stituting the tramway of the travelling crane, were barely fifteen inches square. It appears, more over, that these beams were without supports or cross-girders of any kind. Cross girders, it was stated, are not usually considered necessary in such a case, but it waa admitted that they would add to the strength of the trusses, and in the case of a span of more than usual width it would undoubtedly have been prudent to employ them. Another fact is of some importance, as a guide or warning, and ought not to be lost sight of in the erection of such works for the future. It came out that the trusses which broke beneath the " travelling" crane, had not only just been put up, but bad not been tested in any way. The foreman of the works states in his evidence that they were finished on the Monday previous to the accident, that they were made of new Baltic timber, and had never been tested ; " no weight," he expressly stated, "having been " on the trusses before that of the travelling " crane." It is not usually considered necessary, THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1863. it appears, to test simple works of this kind, where the strength of the materials and the weight to be borne ass tolerably well known before hand. Bet after reading the evidence it is difficult to avoid the conviction, that had tie strength of the trusses been tested the accident would never have occurred. Mr. WOODFORD, the engineer of the works, attributes the breaking of the beam that first gave way to a sudden strain or jar. "He " could not account for the breaking, except by " supposing there had been some jar upon it. It " was not uncommon for the wheels to climb " the rails, and when they fell off on to the " wood there would of course be a jerk. Such an " occurrence would be more likely when there were " four wheels than when there were two. There " was a bruise on the wood, as if from the fiangeof " a wheel." This view seems in itself very probable ; and it was corroborated by the tes timony of another engineer unconnected with the works, who had gone over the ground and care fully examined the wreck. This gentleman, Mr. SHERMAN, said :—" He had examined the mate " rials of the broken trusses ; they were sound. " He thought from the drawing that the trusses " had been constructed on sound principles. The " moat probable cause of accident was one of the " trusses getting out of gauge, and thus causing " one of the wheels of the traveller to slip off the " rails on to the wood." Mr. Summar; adds, that such an accident might happen without being fore seen. But bad the trusses been properly tested, this liability to get out of gauge would probably have showed itself during the trial, and might have been corrected in time by the use of croes-girders, or of some other contrivance for strengthen ing the trusses and keeping them true. There seems, however, to have been no perceptible neglect of ordinary precautions in the case, nothing certainly amounting to culpable negli gence. And no one being really to blame, the verdict of " Accidental death " was the only one that could fairly be returned. But the accident undoubtedly should impress on those who are en gaged in the erection of such works the impor tance, and, indeed, the necessity, of thoroughly examining their construction and testing their strength before subjecting them to a heavy strain. FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER. (From Le Pond.) Mohair, foulard, and alpaca, we may safely Bay, will be the materials meet in request for September. Gue de Chambery, =womanise de sole, and grenadince, will be kept for warm days and toilettes habillke. Aa to colour, the new " turtle dove" is the last introduced, but we do not think is will be very long in favour, as our Parisian models aeon to have a decided penchant for decided buss, no very pale or undecided thin; having been worn lately. Bad is already much wore, and will be quite in favour by the autumn. White is very fashionable and elegant, either over a colour or not, according to the taste of the wearer and the material employed. A white elpaoa dress and cloak, trimmed with ckerrycoloored braid, have a very elegant effect. White dresses, made in muslin or transparent materials, have the skirts trimmed with fluted flounces or bouillon sees, in which are run coloured ribbons. When coloured eirlrte ere warn under them dresses, they should be made of equal length with the over-skirt, and should in most ewe be acennpanied by s low body of the same, over which is worn the white owing* or pilgrim. If the petti coats worn with these thin drones should be of muslin, or washing grenadine, they should be about an inch from the ground, and trimmed with flounces, We almost invariably see in Paris the pettionete of the rine material as the dress, and trimmed in the same man ner. We fear our readers will think this rather an extra enact fashion to recommend them, but if they will con sider the expense incurred in the making and washing of Bounced petticoats, we think they will soon be reconciled to the innovation. Drawee are almost invariably accompanied by cloaks of ihe same. This fashion will, we believe, last during the autumn ; bat we are not so assured of its continuance after the amansesoentent of the winter season. Plaid drums are fashionably worn ; they are se yet un common, but will become more general in the autumn, Plaid wheel of ribbon or silk are much in favour for whits or sell-coloured drones. White bodies are so very useful to wear with skirts the bodies of which are old-faahioned or no longer It, that they are likely to remain as much in favour fora long time as they now are. They are made in various materials—muslin, plaited or bouillonoee, grenadine, foulard, or llama ; they are often trimmed with black lace insertion. These bodies are no longer made to hang loosely over the skirt, like the Garibaldi, which is quite out of fashion 'except for early rooming wear. There Is no sensible alteration in the form of mantle for next mouth ; paletobs, collets, or caaaques still being worn, without any great difference of shape or style, exosptiog that they are a little shorter. Shawls are now worn by the Parisian ladies, fastened at the throat by a brooch, and not hanging loosely on the shoulders, as formerly. There seems no danger of bonnets resuming their high and pointed form ; they are still narrow ►t the sides, but flatter on the top than formerly, and do not come so far on the head. It is imposeible to describe the endless variety of hats now worn; the moat elegant and aristocratic have a rather broad brim and a bunch of feathers placed high in front. Caps are mostly made of black and white lace, with a loose crown, and getaway have a Marie Stuart point in front. Fancy woes me likely to become very fashionable for home wear ; they will be quite small, sad gathered or plaited into a very narrow mom at dr waist. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge is Dot expected to return from Germany until the second week In the ensuing month. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam taidge and the Princess Mary will leave Rumpsobeirs towards the does of next month or early is October.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (azurn's TELEGRAMS.) THE POLISH QUESTION. THE FRENCH NOTE TO RUSSIA. PARIS, Amon IS. The Cuurrier du Dintanche of to-day gives a sum mary of the note which has been appended to the despatch by M. Drouyn de Lhuys to Prince Dort chakoff. K Drouyn de Lhuya explains the European character of the stipulations which were accepted by Russia, Austria, and Prussia at the Congress of 1815. The French Minister recalls : " 1. That Russia has entered into an engagement to bestow on the kingdom of Poland a distinct con stitutional rigime. " 2. That Russia in making the reservation to approximate the Polish institutions to those of Russia, could only allude to the Polish provinces without the kingdom of Poland proper. The Powers have a direct and positive right to claim for Poland a faithful execution of the treaties." The Courier du Dimanche further believes itself able to state that on the 19th inst. K Drouyu de Lhuys addressed a circular to the French agents abroad stating that the attitude of Russia had strengthened the good understanding between the powers. It stated also that the Em peror's government was convinced that the Polish question was a European one, and would continue to watch events in Poland with the solicitude which it will expect to be also mani fested by all the other Powers. The Emperor's government will act in concert with the other cabinets in the path which will be considered most in conformity with the principles of public law and the exigencies of the situation. THE AUSTRIAN NOTE TO RUSSIA. VIENNA, Auousr 29. The note of Austria to Russia on the Polish question has been published to-day. Austria therein expresses great regret that Russia had not given a more satisfactory reply to the notes of the great Powers. The note then proceeds to state that the interest of Europe demands an early fulfilment of the work of conciliation in Poland. " Foreign influences," it says, " are not the only cause of the insurrection. Poland would be tranquil if Russia bad fulfilled the political and religious engagements which she had contracted. The proposed conference of the great Powers ought certainly to be acceptable to Russia." In conclusion, Prince Gortchakoff is requested to give his most serious attention to the present state of things, for the consequences of which Austria declares Russia alone will be responsible. THE SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION. FRANIEFORT-ON:THE•MAINE, Amon 28. The Europa of to-day publishes the declaration made by Denmark on the 27th inst. respecting Schleswig. Denmark states that, though not in a position to withdraw the proclamation of the 30th March, she is really to take into consideration the proposals of the German Confederation, and to carry out in the now Germanic provinces those resolutions of the Federal Diet compatible with the sovereign and legislative power of the King. Denmark, in conclusion, states that having re cognised the political autonomy of the Duchies, and declared herself ready to enter into negotiations concerning the realisation thereof, she would be compelled to regard a federal execution as falling under the provisions of international law. PRINCE COITZA AND THE GREEK MONASTERIES. CONSTANTINOPLE. Amon 28, Evianto. The Porte and the Powers have decided upon compelling Prince Conza to submit the affair of the Greek monasteries to arbitration. The Prince offers a subsidy in compensation for the sequestrated property. JAPAN. The intelligence from Japan published in our columns yesterday is confirmed by despatches from Vice-Admiral Justr-es, received by the French government. The whole of the indemnity on account of the assassination of Mr. Richardson had been paid, and diplomatic relations between the English representative and the Japanese authorities bad been renewed. The position of affairs was still, however, very unsettled, and it had been arranged that the defence of the town of Yokohama and its environs should be entrusted to Admiral Juarez. He was to place his troops, if he thought fit, upon the bills which surround the place, in order to exercise whatever surveillance circumstances might render necessary. "The forces at the disposal of the French admiral," says the Moniker of yesterday, "together with those commanded by Admiral Kuper, ensure the security of the foreign residents." Last year a very extraordinary scene presented itself at the church of Montmartre, Perin, on the day when the young females of the parish take their first communion. Upwards of fifty of the young communicants ware suddenly seized with convulaions, and some of them with epilepsy. This year the same circumstance has occurred upon • smaller scale. About • dozen of the communicants have been similarly attacked. Those that were taken to the hospital have been cured almost without =dieing. It ap pears to be rather • religious fanaticism than aay real malady. The singularity is the periodicity of these con. enigma, and the rapidity with which morbid sympathy is conveyed amongst so many individuals. A letter from Alexandria, of the 19th, says : " The Nile is rising so rapidly as to excite great apprehen sion ; it is already 14 feet higher than last year at the same season, and it hasyet 45 days to rise. The governmeet has despatched by rail a large quantity of timber and piles to &threat points, to be reedy to dam the gaps in case the dykes give way ; and men Sr. employed in raising the banks along the river. Should such a catastrophe occur se in 1861, when the Nile burst its banks and inundated Lower Egypt, the cotton crop would run the greatest risk, and a large portion would certainly be destroyed." The Times thinks that the obstacle to more liberal coosumptioa of the French wines lies in the short sighted obstinacy of hotel-keepers. They have not yet in troduced claret to their tables on such terms as would in duce ordinary customers to call for it. They still persist in treating that wine and champagne as expensive luxuries, and in charging for them such prices sa exclude them from common consumption. The treaty has left the old system in this respect quite untouched. "Champagne is still 10e. or 12s. a bottle ; claret of very moderate quality 4a. a pint. Even the new joint-stock hotels are not free front this fault, though their managers ought to be ►ware that most visitors by this time are perfectly able to appraise the wines put on the table. There is something almost ludicrous in the extravagance of the wine lists which are paraded in print over the mantelpieces or sideboards as reasonable sod sttsse tire tariffs. Every article in the catalogue might probably be reduced 50 per cent in price, and yet leave the seller with as fair a profit as he obtains in other departments of his businw. it is really • marvel that this should go on ; and if one of the numerous hotel companies now adver tising themselves in our column* would bat isitiate a radical reform in this particular it would soon find its ac count in the practical discernment of the pablie." The steamer Louisiana, from New York on the 15th inataet, vita Halifax, pssd the harbour of Queens town at 12.30 p.m. yesterday. She brings 190 paeseagers, and the crew and p•esengers of the wrecked steamer Georgia. She landed 20 passengers, and proceeded. Her news has boa anticipated. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom on ows col PARIS, FRIDAY Eviania. The postponed council of ministers takes place positively at St. Cloud at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, under the presidency of the Emperor. It is not doubted that M. Drouyn de Lhuys' last despatch to Russia will appear in the Mowitetir of Sunday. There have been rumours current of Rua ' ids being more conciliatory, and a report that Count Orloff was coming to Paris on a mission is said to have contributed to the rise at the Bourse yesterday and to-day. I do not think there is any truth in these stories. The language of the Rus sian journals and some words pronounced by the Czar at Nijni-Novogorod argue that the cabinet of St. Petersburg is not disposed to make the least Lord Clarendon, who bas been at Frankfort since the 15th, is expected in Paris on the 31st, to pass a few days with Lord Cowley. His object probably is to confer with the English ambassador in Paris on the important difference between Den mark and Germany on the knotty Schleswig Holstein question. _ _ . M. de Persigny, who had written a speech for the council-general of the Loire, which he was pre vented from delivering by M. Boudet's prohibition of political speeches by the presidents of councils general, took an opportunity to let it off at the "Club of Arts and Commerce" of St. Etienne. This speech is an historical and philosophical essay upon the empire, its foundation, its progress, its present state, and its future prospects. In it the late Minister of the Interior develops his favorite theory that parliamentary government is impossible in France for want of an aristocracy such as exists in England. As the Opinion Nationale observes, we have heard all this before from the same quarter. The speech is but a para phrase of the circular which the speaker sent to the prefects on the eve of the late elections—with what ill success is now matter of history. He talks a great deal about liberty and the fusion of all the old parties in the empire, but the misfortune is that his latest acts when in power were quite at variance with all his liberal doctrines, and so far from propitiating former enemies, they disgusted the best friends of the empire. He now lays down the doctrine that the entire political organisation of democracy in France consists in its " ad ministrative hierarchy," and that all beyond is but "grains of sand without cohesion." The Temps characterises this declaration, coming from such a quarter, as "important but melancholy." It would, however, be unfair to the empire to accept M. de Persigny as an authorised exponent of its present principles, since he was wisely turned out of office after the memorable condemnation of his policy by the electors of Paris. Three iron-clad frigates, the Provence, Revanche, and Savoie, which have for some time been on the stocks at Toulon, are being rapidly completed ; the Provence will be launched early in October, and the other two shortly afterwards. A letter from Venice states that the bishops had obtained from the Austrian government a prohibi tion of K Renan's " Vie de Jeans," but that K Schmerling, after consideration, has revoked the order, and that the book now freely crosses the frontier. This is not the only instance of an indis position of Austria to submit to the yoke of Rome- The editor of the Verona Journal, the well known Perego, has been excommunicated, but the govern ment nevertheless patronises his paper more warmly than ever. A school at Verona has been lately closed by authority, on account of the teach ing being too ultramontane. Mdlle. Tietjens, already so well known in Lon don and Vienna, makes her debut at the Paris Grand Opera this evening in the Huguenots. There was much fluctuation at the Bourse to day, and the rise of yesterday was at the time lost, but ultimately the Rente closed with the further improvement of 20c. The Daily News is seized. The Tribunal of Correctional Police has been lately occupied with two actions brought against M. Mir 6, for defamation, in a pamphlet published by him, the plaintiff in one case being M. de Saint- Priest, and in the other, M. Louis Innocent. After hearing counsel, the court, is both cases, con demned the defendant to 500 fr. fine, ordered the suppression of the pamphlet, and the insertion of 'the judgment in five journals. The imprisonment in case of non-payment is in each case fixed at one year. WEATHER REPORT.- HIE DAY.) SATURDAY. ARM! It 4 II A.N. I. !al u.

Rumley will be the provident of Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley's coact-martial. —United Service Gazette. The long-expected Channel fleet, for the appear woo of which the inhabitants of Derry and Yoram have been eagerly watching, arrived in Lough Foyle at 6 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The crews inumber more than 5,000 men. Several hundred memos visited the fleet fa the coarse of the day ; and a deputation from Morino presented an address of welcome and congratulation to Admiral Dacron on board his fiagabip. The shore wu illuminated at night with tar barrels, fireworks, mad bonfires. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company this day make a very important addition to the magnificent fleet which they already pommy by launolling two Iron screw ships, the one from the premise* of the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company, and the other from the Millwall Works. The Ottoman empire as yet pommies but three railways—from Smyrna to Aidin, from Kuntendji• to Tam , sawodo, aad from Alereodria to Suez. According to the Journal de Cenutantinnple, there is an intention to estab lish a line from Soediah to Aleppo, from Aleppo to Bagdad, aed from Bagdad to Busiorah. The Congregation of the Index at Rome has condemned the " Vie de Vous" of M. Rama. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. FLIDAY. The annual " Fair of Science" has still to con. tend against the most unfavolible weather, but although with scarcely any intermission Win has fallen heavily since the commencement of the motions, it does not appear t o damp the ardour of those who have come to Newcastle resolved to take part in the proceedings, or to see and hear for themselves the latest discoveries on theories of mince. The places of meeting of the various sections sre not, as h a . been the cue in some towns where the association has held its meetiop, close together, and any person resolved to d o the whole of the motions has in consequence to travel over a large portion of the town. ID order to facilitate the End. tag of the various places of meeting, the council have with their usual foresight provided a small map, which is printed on the backs of the members' ticket. At the comets of the street, in lending thoroughfares, and in the leer f►voured locelitiee into which they have strayed, there may be seen the seeker after truth, intently poring over his little map, studying topography under by no manna favourable or agreeable circumstances. The lady members wander about from section to section, OA though consider. fog it not lees a duty than a privilege to be present at each in its turn, and thus bestowing their patronage equally upon all. Geography ►nd ethnology seem, however, t o re . olive the largest share of the attention of the fair members, Visitors will have no moon whatever to complain of eny. thing like a want of cordial and hospitable reception. The provident has a dinner party for Arnett every evening during the continuance of the meeting ; to each nearly a hundred poets are bidden ; the mayor of the town also imtertaini a large number at dinner this evening; and on each of th e different excursions that are organised the members of th e association will be afforded ample opportunities of enjoy. lag the abundant provision made for their creature com forts. The Geographical and Ethnological sectiou remained crowded until its clue to-day. Mr. Crawford's notes on Sir Charles Lyell's work on the " Antiquity of Man" wer e very warmly discussed. Sir Charles Lyell's theory vu troverted with great ability by Profaner Wilma, of Toronto, and the Rev. Mr. Brodie. The Chairman, saes R. Murchison, defended Sir C. Lyell, and observed there was scarcely a scientific man of any position in the country who did not agree with Sir Charles as to the antiquity of the human race. Sir George Dennis armour:l similar views. Dr. James Hunt, who is president of the Anthropological Society, read a long paper in the same section, on the mental characters of the negro. He maintained that there we. ern good a reason for classifying the negro as • distinct species from the European, u there is for making the ass distiact from the zebra ; that the negro is inferior utterly to the European ; that the analogies are far more numerous be tween the negro and the ape than between the Europeassad the ape. Mr. W. Craft, who was loudly applauded Astacus forward, replied to Dr. Hunt. With regard to what that gentleman bad said respecting the thick Anil and woolly head of the negro being • mark of inferiority, be thought if the Almighty bad not provided him with these in the hot climate, he, the negro, would have been se muddy-headed as certain persons who called themselves philosophers were when dealing with the origin of the human race. He adduced CUM is proof of what bad been advanced by himself previously, that under his treatment the mind of the !negro child ur capable of • very high degree of culture ; eves clam of the most degraded tribes, se illustrated by the little girl who was brought by Captain Forbes from Ih• homey, and who had been educated under the superinten. deuce of our own Queen. He instanced Hayti in proof that revolted slaves were capable of establishing a regular government, and maintaining it before the whole world. He said, four years ago several young Huta= were sec •eroes to France, to be educated in the military profusion, sod the quickness of their parts, and the progress they hid made in their studies, had attracted the attention of the Emperor, who had given • banquet in their honour. Looking at the coloured people in America, and the long generations of oppreerioo that had been exhibited towards them by all classes of white men, the wonder in his mind was not that so many of that race now occa• pied so respectable a position, intellectually and morally, but that the soul had not beer, crushed out of them alto- gather. The Rev. H. B. Tristram, of Cheatham Hospital, the eminent naturalist who had had • considerable expo. rience amongst the Regress as a naval chaplain in the West India Islands and as a traveller in the Great Saharan, where amongst the Arabs, a negro suffers from no social hostility, adduced some striking facts from his own experience, that placing • black child in the same school es a white child, the condition of the parents of the children being similar, a coloured child, with the exception of arithmetic, will make equal progress to the white child ; and that in North Africa where the negro suffered from no local prejudices, he showed that he took his position with the more favoured racer. Rear-Admiral Belcher, whose knowledge of the negro character extended over a period of more than half a century, quoted. number of striking facts from his own experience in proof of the capacity of the negro. In very eloquent language, and with a warm sailor's feeling that took the entire audience with him, he concluded by observing that he bad been nursed as a child by blacks, he had met with blacks under very varied circumstances and under many climes, and he had found them as clear•heald, as faithful, and as capable of education la any &tropism. Professor Wilson also spoke on the same side. Mr. Carter Blake and Dr. Hunt, who were the joint authors of the paper, replied, deprecatiog the hisses with welch they bad been assailed, by asserting th►t they had discussed the matter from • scientific point of view ; and Mr. Crawford, who had occupied the presideot's chair, having summed up, disagreeing with Dr. Host upon luny points, the section closed for the day. During the current week Mr. Justice Halibut. ton, M.P., Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P., Mr. William Schots. field, M.P., Mr. J. G. Greenwood (Principal of Owes; College, Manchester), and Professor Sterodale Bennett Imes joined the National Mak-spear* Committee. _ . Messrs.
