IMM , MUP THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. 1 PROM 00111 OWN REPORTM) NOTTINGHAM, WI:MUM!. Though Wednesday is not usually a " sectional . ' day, several of the departments met for the purpose of disposing of the overflow of papers from day before. Simon D.—PHYSIOLOGY. • In this section. Dr. Rieninneon read a paper " On the oomparative vitality of the Jewish end races." After giving the statistics of the Jewish and Christian mom, he said—We sae a race living through centuries, often under great privations, intermarrying and taking in no new blood, and yet showing a higher vitality than the freest peoples. Why is this! Is it from race, manner, cus tom? To quote IL Baudin, " Here is • race which counts less niaritsges, produces a lesser number of children, who knows better how to preserve them, has leis still-born, more old people, less suicide, a larger average duration of life ; them attributes, from the value of which I do not intend to detract, are they the signs of • con genial superiority of organisation, of a more energetic vis visit", or are they exclusively an advantage of race ?" Or to quote another author, Dardsch, "The Jews prove to en that human life acquires more tenacity by trouble and Dour, provided that the work be not of a nature to break the spint, and paralyse the spontaneity. The majority , indeed, in almost every part of Germany, may be consi dered poor, and yet their mortality is less than that of the Christians (1 in 48 Jews, and 1 in 24 Chris tine' at Breslan)." If we seek for information re aoeotlnj question from the learned statician Lifigt we find him impressing the following . :—" Married ei an earlier age than the Christians they enjoy longer the ionesreative influence of matrimony, statistics having de monstrated the injuries of celibacy as concerns duration of life The fecundity of their marriages being lees they rear their children more successfully. Until now they have T followed any profession requiring hard labour. They attach themselves in preference to commerce, banking, the arts, sciences, literature, and public offices. Not only is their sobriety un deniable, by their alimentary prohibitions conduce to hygiene. Family affection, developed more fully among them than among Christians, insures a more watchful care to children and aged and infirm parents, natural food to the new-born infant, and a more efficacious assistance to the poor. Their charity was unequalled ; their morality is demonstrated by judicial statistic , ' ; firmness and serenity of mind are the most prominent points in their cha motor, and proceed from • profound faith and unalterable confidence in Providence . " (Cheers.) Dr. Richardsou's Own views on the whole question were thus stated. The Jews, springing originally from • healthy but not by any means grandly developed human standard, have retained their primitive advantages solely by the force of sur rounding conditions. He illustrated that under inter-mar rime' a race does not deteriorate ; they show on the other hand that a race does not, under the same influence, physically advance. Isolated, perfume, from the corny u nities amongst which they have been thrown, they have camped, by necessity, the destructive vices of the peoples of other faiths. The sensual luxury of the Mohammedan and the prodigal luxury of the Christians have been to them always unknown. Theirresolution has saved end still saves their children frost the contraction of the various epidemic diseases, whilst the same isolation largely preserves their male* from other infections equally dangerous, and in the result more destructive. Above all, from their frugal and provident habits they have been throughout all their trials preserved from personal worry, they have not courted black care nor cultivated broken heart. The maxim," Let user ;and drink, for to-morrow we die," has been to them a warning not • practise, and whilst their neighbours have spent their whole means, and have with despair looked on the next sun, the Jew has seen in the same means the rise of many suns, and felt that to him they could not shine to destroy. Thus fortified by individual strength, the perse attars of the rase have been resolved much by individual resistance as by general diffusion : the whole fabric of the race rating upon the perfect integrity of its parts. These are the true lessons taught by this history. He (Dr. Richard set) could see is the history no evidence fostering any traditional superstitions. He saw in it no evidence of great physical or mental vitality on the part of this people, he could see in it no marvellous wisdom or influence of epe e& hygienic law. That which he saw was the favourable existence of a people who by nature are temperate, pro vident, and faithful, and who by necessity have been driven to pursue those virtues • and what he learned was that Christians and Mohammedans, before they upraised their own systems so high above the Jewish, should first engraft on their own systems those principles by which the Jew has been sustained with such vital steadiness and force from generation to generation. The Rev. Mr. CAIRNS remarked that during the present outbreak of cholera in London Jews had escaped from the epidemic, although living in the midst of Christians who had died from it. He attributed this to their general temperance. Dr. Canes thought, in opposition to Dr. Richardson, that the circumstances mentioned as being peculiar to the Jewish race were to be attributed to the special influence of a Providential arrangement. Dr. B. W. FOSTER considered that the small mortality among the children of the Jews and the few suicides amongst this people, were due to the fact that want was almost unknown to them, from the excellence and effectiveness of their charities. He also stated that the surgical operations upon Jews in the Queen's Hospital, Birmingham, were followed by much better results than similar operations among Christians. This was owing to •their greater vitality. Dr. RICHARDSON said that at the last outbreak of cholera In London the Jews had a remarkable immunity from the disease, but this time they had not escaped, for it was stated in the J•wisA Chronicle that there had been 25 fatal eases among them. These, however, almost occurred in • cluster, and might be attributed to some special circum stance. With regard to drunkenness, ths Jews escaped this vice more than any other race. They were the most 'temperate of all peoples. He understood that their chil dren did not drink sine until they were received into the synagogue, and then it was only a light description of wine. A Jewish gentleman observed that he thought there was very little foundation for that statement. Dr. RICHARDSON thought that as a rule the Jews took very little wine. He did not know whether as • rule they socked much, but as fax as he had seen they smoked like chimneys. (Laughter.) . Dr. RONFRY, the president, said that in spite of inter marriage the Jews were a long-lived and healthy race, and this was owing mainly to their great temperance, and the care they bestowed on the management of their children. Dr. SISSON thought he could trace their great vitality to the absence of disease among their children. and to their homes not being so overcrowded, as was the case with other portions of the population. Dr. B. W. FOOTS& DMA a paper " On an addition to the Sphygmograph," an ingenious mechanical cot tri mace, invented by Morey, • Frenchman, for ascer taining the strengh and regularity of the pulse. After a short sketch of the application of the self-registering prin ciple to the investigation of the movement of the blood in the arteries, he demonstrated the use of the in strument, and pointed out the indications to be gathered from • study of the page trace. He then explained how variations in the pressure exerted on the artery under examination caused differences in the form of the pulse trace, and stated how, from his ex perience, the pressure may be rendered as nearly as pm sible the same in any two observations, by the addition of an index to the pressure sere sr, and by describing • circle accurately graduated round this regulating screw. Dr. Foster exemplified the mode of using the instrument upon the wrist of one of the vice-presidents of the section. This terminated the business of the session, and in reply to a vote of thanks, the President expressed a hope tha; they would all meet again next year at Dundee. &cried( 8.--GEOGRAPHY. Here Mr. Wane, of Newdead, gave some results of the researches of Dr. Livingstone in Africa, with remarks on the character of the negro races of that region, the argu ment being that with proper treatment negro." would make excellent 'eremite. Sir Sxscat. Bekaa, speaking of the negro, said he did sot wish to present him blacker than he was, but he did not believe 1111 could ever become Speaker of the House of Commons or Archbishop of Canterbury. In his purely emir state the African was the most improvident and unthoughtful of human beings. He found then living in marshes ; so attenuated in frame that they seemed like thin slate pencils topped with shocks of hair. Those living further Inland were superior to those in the marshes. They worked in iron and made weapons, while the ladies wore skirts of mail. They were believers in magic. Sir Samuel proceeded in an admirably droll vein to tell a series of anecdotes of the character of those above stated. The section was finally closed at an early hour. F.—BCONONIC SCIENCE AND STATISTICS. The section met this morning to dispose of papers yet unread. The first paper read was one by the Rev. C. SRWSLL, " On Hindrances to Success of Popular Educa tion." These, it stated, were of two sorts—those which arise on the aide of the teacher, and those which arise 41111 the side of the taight. After a review of the history of national education in this country, and a statement that organisation for giving primary education was now as complete as in that of any foreign country, the paper 'dated that the system, was not in rfect working order, the assistance of the state not being bailed on the principles which had been so successful in Prussia and Holland the principle here being that popular education should cost as little as possible, which would be perfectly right if it were backed up by an equal desire and determination that edu cation should be popular in every sense of the term. The time had probably not yet come for subordinating all organisation for popular instruction to the secular authority of the state, the opposition of religious orders would stave off the necessity for such a course ; but the setting up of such an authority, if it could be accomplished, would remove one at least, if not the main hindrance to the suc cess of popular education. Yr. Tnestrrr read a paper "On the Violation of the Principles of Economic Science caused by the Law of Dis traint for Rent," the argument of which was, that the law placed so great an authority in the hands of landlords that they did sot exercise the neeessary caution in selecting t;\ , . , ; t . ) 4 i , ( l 4ii 'i 1 11 11 Wit'l: i i- their teaaats, the result being that cultivation was not ' skilful and complete, and the economic vice of inadequate use of those advantages and that production from land which might otherwise be obtained. This system bad !mike.' inequitably and injuriously in this country, while in Ireland tie evil had been aggravated tenfold. In a discussion which ensued Mr. Samoa characterised as a fallacy the statement that the effect of the law of ' distraint was to render landlords indifferent to the character and skill of tenants, for his experience was quite the other way ; distraint being the rare exception, not the rule. He and Mr. Ward, conveyancer of Leeds, stated that if a tenant, before his rent was due, absconded and sold off all his goods and stock the landlord had no civil remedy : this it was argued WWI only a condition of all debts in future, and tlus stood on the same basis as a bill of exchange no due. ' The other papers, the reading of which brought the proceedings of the section to a close, were " On Inventors and Invention," by Mr. G. Bell Galloway ; "On the . Occupation and Ownership of Was te Lands," by Mr. Frederick Wilson ; and " On the Practicability of Em ploying a Common Notation for Electric Telegraphy," • by Mr. J. G. Joyce. I At 3 o'clock the closing general meeting of the associa tion was held at the Mechanics-hall, Mr. C. GROVE, the president, in the chair. The General Secretary (Mr. Hint) read a Eat of grants ' of money made to committees for experiments and ' the promotion of science, and a statement of the papers ' read at the meeting which had hem ordered to be pruned ; ' and Sir R. Mt:unisex moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor and the executive body which had prepared for the recep tion of the association at Nottingham, stating that at no place had more cordiality been exhibited than in the town in which the institution had hold its gathering this year ; the result being a glorious and nomeerfal meeting. Dr. PARSE seconded the motion, which was accepted by 1 acclamation. The Mayor of NOTTINGHAM, in suitable terms, returned thanks. Dr. ROBERTSON and Mr. E. J. Lows replied on behalf of the local secretaries. Professor PH rues moved a vote of thanks to the Pre sident of the Association, which was enthusiastically re ceived ; and Mr. Grove having replied, votes of thanks were moved to all the functionaries connected with the proceedings of one of the most successful meetings eves held by the British Association for the Promotion of Science.

The best proof of this being but simple justice to me is, that I have never yet discharged the duties of my office without being as warmly complimented by the conservative aa by the liberal agents for my perfect impartiality. Moreover, you may remember that when you kindly did me the ho nour of first appointing me to the office it was by appointing me as additional revising barrister, in consequence of the register being is such a state that the ordinary staff of bar risters could not get through the onerous work of revising the lists.

Under all the circumstances I trust I may be exeused, when, with all the unfeigned respect and warm esteem which I entertain for your lord ship, I venture to surest whether some proof or well founded complaint of inefficiency or partiality in the dis charge of my duties ought not to have preceded such a measure as that of not renewing my appointment. I have said I have felt pain, my lord, in receiving your communi ties, but the pain is not so much on account of the loss, and the other, possibly, serious consequent injury to myself in my profession , or the unjust or malevolent reflections it may bring upon me in some quar ters, as on account of the very injurious and dangerous effect it may produce on the public mind, especially in forcing the people to the con viction that no man, particularly no man in such a situation or profession as mine, however upright in the discharge of his functions can sincerely and warmly advocate what he consider, their rights without the risk of subjecting him self to very serious personal loss, to the possibility of being made a victim of party misrepresentation and rancour; and that for a man to hold any judicial position it is necessary for him to suppress and stifle his real and honest opinions. Thanking your lordship again, and very sincerely, for all your kind and flattering expressions towards myself, and for the permission to make what use I please of your letter —which I presume includes its publication, if and deeply regretting, for personal as well as more w ' ty rosaries, that your lordship should have felt it advisable and right to withhold the renewal of my appointment, I am, my lord, yours very truly and faithfully, EDMOND BILLS& After the close of our yesterday's report, Colonel PALMER defended the position of the Northern and Eastern directors. Their concern had always paid the Great Eastern Company 10 or 12 per cant., and they should be glad to take it back as soon as the Great Eastern shareholders were tired of it. Mr. W. Arneue complained of the high rate of the working expenses and of the payment of 4,0001. to the directors. The had sustained a loss of no leas than 20,0001. by the lease of 'the Blackwell line. The Climax...2i said that the loss upon that lease instead of being 20,0001. was only 7,0001. or 8,0001. After some other conversation, in which various share holders took part, Dr. O'itr.zur expressed a desire to get rid of the " ex traneous" directors who paralysed the energies of the board, and whose only desire was to aggrandise their own names at the expense of this company. Mr. L. SIMI'Sole appealed to the chairman whether those whom Dr. O'Reilly called " extraneous "directors had not rendered him a loyal, an honest, and an earnest support in all die measures which he had recommended for the benefit of this company. , The CHAIRYAR confined himself to bearing testintoey to I the zeal amiability of Mr. Simpson, than whom be said he had never had a more hard working colleague. A SHAREHOLDER inquired why Mr. Maynard had been removed from the office of solicitor to the company std had been replaced by Mr. Shaw. Mr. G. Smrrif (a director) said that the pinching of the shoe arose from the difficulty of raising the money to carry on the metropolitan extensions which had been oom menoed or undertaken. That, however, was en ember : moment which had been created, not by the present board, but by the old one, and the only consolation which they had was that these extensions were likely ultimately to turn out profitable. He believed that there was a I future for this concern, and that the development of the coal and general traffic would enable them to earn an honest dividend upon the capital they had invested. Mr. LEGO (of Leeds) called attention to the suspense account, amounting to 57,4144., and recommended that it should be carried to capital account. The CHATRIIAN, in his reply, said that the change of solicitor involved no reflection upon Mr. Maynard, bat had arisen from that gentleman declining, as a =water of professional etiquette, to be associated with Mr. nailer. The preference stock upon which dividends would set be paid was that which was created at the time of the amal gamation, or since the year 1862.

He did not • know any branch line upon the working of which they were making a profit. The directors were about to inquire thoroughly into that subject, and the policy they intended to adopt was this, where trains were making a profit they would be fostered ; and where they were not, they would be reduced to the parliamentary limits. (Cheers.) The motion for the adoption of the report was then put and unanimously agreed to. Upon the motion of Mr. Lane (of Leeds) the directors were authorised to plus to capital account the balance of the suspense account, amounting to 57,414 f. 2s. ld. At the instance of Kr. C.

DERBY SUMMER MEETING. —WiDNZSDAT. In cons isuence of the frost it was unable to bold the Derby Spring Meeting in the week of its original aslare was deter mined. therefore, to prolong the summer villains to three days for this year ; but unfortunately tbe weather was so wretch edly wet that the opening deg could not he otherwise than agreeable, and the course being very heavy the fields were miserably small, while the Chesterfield Stakes and the Moira Haus"cap were b' th decided by walks over. Rain had been fall ing more or less since Sunday, but the elements seemed to have concentrated all their energies for a perfect deluge yesterday, as, with one Islet exception, rain fell heavily throughout the day. It la not surprising. under these cheeinstances, that the attend ance was very small, and that all who were there should be -VITT of the afternoon's sport long before it was concluded. The :oliewing return contains the details of an uninteresting day's mining. There was some speculation on the St. Leger during the intervals between the racing ; but the list of quotations will sufficiently indicate the amount of the business transacted.

COLNE VALLEY AND HALSTEAD RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Halstead, laws., on Tuesday ; Mr. J. Brewster in the chair. An abstract of the directors' report has already appeared. The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said the directors regretted to have again to meet the share holders under circumstances of difficulty. The addition made to capital account during the past half-year (LOU.) had been occasioned by a payment for land tenants' com pensation and legal expenses incident to these matters. Upon the remainder of its liabilities the company was pay ing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. He re gretted the falling off of nearly 1,0001. on the half-year in traffic receipts. After some questions by Mr. Cardinall, Mr. Fitch, and other gentlemen, the report was adopted. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. PUBLIC COMPANIES IN CHANCE/W.—The Chief clerk (Mr. Peake) is again occupied in the winding-up matters of several public companies.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the share holders of this company was held yesterds.y_ afternoon at the Mikes, No. 5, Westminster Chambers • Sir. P. DAVZT, the chairman of the board of directors, presiding. The reportof the directors stated that "thetrade carried over the line during the half-year contrasted favourably with that of the corresponding period of 1865, and congratulated the shareholders upon the increase that had taken place in the opal traffic, which they murk sonsider to be chiefly owing to the great exertions they had need to promote tt ; there were 45,927 tons carried over the line olcu:14 the past half. ea r, against 22,745 toss in the cone spending pe ri od of 1865. The directors had the pleasure to inform the shareholders that the company had been scarcely affected by the late ilnanthelpanic. The liabilities with respect to debenture bonds falling due had been care fully ascertained in anticipation of it, and the only amounts required to be provided were obtained at an increase only of from 44 to 5 per cent. interest. The remaining authorised Mimed bonds amounting to 1,3001. as shown in the balance-sheet of accounts the directors were enabled to hold in hand , and would only re issue them when more favourable terms might be obtained. The balance of revenue account after pay ment of interest upon debentures and all other charges, amounted to 2,9071. 10s., which, added to the sum of 32/. 2s. 9d. brought forward from last half-year, would, after providing for the preference dividends„ s eduat of a dividend at the rate of 24 per cent. per annum on the or share capital, leaving the sum of 1011. Si. to he car ried to the next amount." The Cnenutan, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the shareholders upon the improvement which had taken place in the traffic of the line. The report having been adopted, A motion in favour of the declaration of dividends at the rate of N. per Dent. per annum payable upon the 5 per cent. preference shares of 1859 and upon the 5 per cent. preference shares of 1860, and at the rate of 21. ss. per cent. per annum upon the ordinary shares, was put by the chairman and unanimously adopted. BUENOS AY ES GREAT SOU LIMITED) THERN RAILWAY COMPANY (. The fourth ordinary general meeting was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; the DIPUTI-CHAIILYAN (Mr. Brown Westhead), presiding. The report, which hasalreedy appeared in these column', was taken as read. In moving its adoption, The Dnrurr-Cnautilas congratulated the company on having reached a point from which they had every prospect of a prosperous future. He was aware that strong influence had been used to collect proxies for this meeting ; but be was prepared to contend that the management of the oompany's affairs had on the whole been such as to redound to the credit of the board. The busines• of the railway had no doubt adored from the disastrous floods in May last, but whereas the ordinary traffic of the country had been reduced to 86 per cent., that of the company had been diminished only to the extent of 25. Loo at the largo amount of traffic from the south of Buenos Ayres, of which the com pany at present only enjoyed about one - seventh , he h ad little doubt that it would ultimately have not only the 7 per cent. guaranteed by the government, but a still higher return for their money. Mr. HODGKIN drew attention to a remarkable eorrespon dence appended to the report, and risked Mr. Wanklyn (who is one of the auditors) if he had further explanation to give of it. Mr. WANKLTN having made some remarks in reply, Mr. Hoot Km then proposed as an amendment to the adoption of the report, a motion for the appointment of a committee of inquiry. Mr. S. HINZTATH seconded the motion. Mr. C. GILPIN, M.P. (a director), said there was nothing to which he had ever put his hand that he was not ready to submit to the investigations of all the accountants in London. It was, however, fair to point out that the state ment they had just heard was that of but one of the auditors, wbo was not a professional accountant; and that the other, who was, and who had recently been appointed auditor of one of the great railway companies, had deli berately withheld his name from the report of Mr. Wanklyn. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CARA, the other auditor, then went through his colleague's report, and substantially confirmed the answer of the secretary. A very long and desultory debate followed, which at hurt ended in The Deeuvr-Criantuales stating that the directors held proxies, which would enable them to dispose of the amendment at their pleasure, but that not in the least shrinking from inquiry, they would refrain from using them. - - The amendment was then carried by 15 to 11, and Messrs. Wheeler, Butler Herepath, ilowring, and Moron were named as the committee. The chairman and deputy-chairman (wbo were retiring directors) having been unanimously re-elected, the latter yielding to the earnestly-expreseed wish of the meeting, The proceedings were adjourned till the 2tith of Sep tember. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-ROUSE. William Charles Redden, the manager of the London branch of the business of Messes. James Russell and Sims, iron tube manufacturers, at Wednesbury, in Staffordshire, who has been in custody for a fortnight upon the charge of embezzling a very large sum of money the pro pe rty of his employers, was yesterday brought before Alderman Carden for further examination upon that charge. Mr. G. Lewisagain appeared on behalf of theproseoution, and Mr. Wontner, junior, attended for the prisoner. It will be remembered that on the former occasion the evidence established that the prisoner had for twelve yeses had the entire management of the business of the prose cutors, that was carried on in Upper Ground-street, Southwark, and that it was his duty to remit all cheques and other monies received by him on account of the firm to the prosecutors every week. It was proved that be had kept back very large sums, in some instances as mach Re 3001., and that he Mid paid in the cheques he had received from Messrs. Russell's customers to his own credit at the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank, where he kept an account. A number of witnesses were yesterday called to prove having paid the prisoner various amounts during the years 1864-5, for a great many of which be bad not in any way accounted to his employers. From Messrs. Wilkie and Semmes, brass-founders, of East Greenwich, he appeared to have received* cheque for 411. 6s. 10d.; from Messrs. Rams den, engineers, of the Kinpland-road, TN. 6s. 4d. ; from Messrs. Noakes, of Brisk -1ane,134/. 16a. Sd. ; from Messrs. Bradley and Co., engineers, New-road, St. George's-in-the- East, 81/. 15s. 10d. ; from Messrs. Dryden and Co., of Kynanton-street, Lambeth, 221.7 x. sd. ; and linen Mews. M'Glashsn and Co., brews founders, of the Coal-yard, Drury-lane, 105/. ls. sd. Mr. Lewis said that in the last-mentioned ease the cheque was made payable to order, and the jerißOnor had put the signature of Messrs. Russell to it, and had conse quently been guilty of forgery, as he had no authority to endorse a cheque in their names. Mr. Fryer, clerk and ledger keeper at the Southwark Branch of the Alliance Bank, proved that the prisoner kept an account at that bank, and he produced the books, which showed that daring the years 1664 and 1866, the pri soner, among other monies, had paid in mod elf the che ques above mentioned to his own credit. Among them was the cheque given by Messrs. M'Glashan for 1061. 1a.6d., which smeared to have been endorsed by Mews. Rummell at the time it was paid in. Mr. J. M. Leake, the cashier to the Metropolitan and Pro vincial Bank, deposed that the prisoner also kept an se count at that bank during the same period, and be klenti fled several cheques as having been paid in to the prisoner's private account, which, it was alleged, he had received for Ifesses. Russell, and is due course Amid hare trans mitted them to those gentlemen. Mr. Guy, the aseeentant lie Mews. Russell, was re called, and he stated that the endorsement upon the cheque of Mews. M'Olashan was in the prisoner's hand writing, and he had no authority to put their names to such an instrument. He also stated that nose of the cheques that had been referred to by the witnesses had been in any way accounted for to Mesas. Russell. In answer to questions put by Mr. Woutner in cross examination, T4r. Guy said that after he had commenced the examination of the prisoner's books, the prisoner cams to the office for one or two days as usual, although be was aware that witness bad stated that there was a atheism:y in Ma accounts. Re eessracnicated with Mr. Russal, and that gentlemen come to tows and at one diseeised the prisoner, and after that he did not see myttih ei sem him until he was taken into custody. of By Mr. Lewis—The prisoner's books were in a m ol e graceful condition, and did not appear t o h are lee , a ss .. posted up for six months.

Mr. Wontner then said that he thought it dike t o 024 behalf o f the prisoner, and for the tearnntiat ge on number of respect able persons who were won quounted with him, that he was instructed th e e * nth who'c matter was fully inquired into, it would is Jed that instead of his having embemled any of the m emed the prosec..tor, that Mr. Russell owed him 2,ooxi u balance of account.
