The following communication has been received : Captain Sherard Osborn, the managing director of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, lessees of the Malta and Alexandria Telegraph, forwards the following copy of a tele gram this day received from the company's super intendent, dated Sept. 6, 11.65 p.m. :—" Patriarch at Cairo expects no information from the bishops sent to Abyssinia for the next twenty days; re ported liberation of the captives not yet confirmed. Will inquire further, and telegraph again." The Diamond Steam Navigation Company's screw steamer United Service, Captain Thomas Wilson, arrived at Falmouth (as was announced in yesterday's Express) yesterday morning. At the Cape bad news had been received from the Orange Free State. The Basutos seemed re solved to drive the Burgher farmers off from settling on the conquered and ceded terrritory allo cated to them. Some of the families that had at tempted to occupy the lands had been driven off, and some of their members murdered by the Basutos, who had interfered in force. President Brand had summoned a special meeting of the Volksraad for the Bth of August, to appeal to the patriotism of the Burghers. It was felt that the Free State would yet be called upon to do its very utmost for defence against the aggressive movements of the Basutos, and that a very serious contest was im pending on the frontier. In the Cape Colony more diamonds had been discovered, and the Cape Town people had made what was expected to be even a still more im portant discovery. At about two miles from the Town-house a large bank of mineral bitumen or solid petroleum had been hit upon at a depth of , only five feet from the surface. It had been tested as to its quality, and one hundred pounds weight of the material, had been found to yield two gallet of oil. Further explorations were being made to ascertain the extent of the formation, and with the expectation of finding petroleum springs. What had been discovered was generally thought to be of considerable importance to the colony. Preparations continued to be made for the arri val of the Duke of Edinburgh, who, if all the con templated plans of the colonists were carried out, had no small amount of work mapped out for him, the number of visits alone prepared for his royal highness being very numerous. The Legislative Council had refused to endorse the proposal of the House of Assembly to increase the rate of the inland postage. The House of Assembly was about to negotiate the obtaining of the lines of telegraphic communication throughout the colony, like the postal communication, entirely in the hands of the government. A resolution has been passed requesting the Governor " to commu- ' nicate with the board of directors of the Telegraph Company in England, or with the local manager, in order to ascertain upon what terms they would be willing to transfer the existing lines of tele graph to the colonial government." There had been some severe weather on the coast of the colony. Several vessels had been abandoned. The troopship Euphrates arrived out in Simon's Bay on July 24, and the Jumna on August 3. Her Majesty's ship Speedwell was left at Madeira. The Act relating to the jurisdiction of County Courts, which was passed last session, has received less attention from the public than its great importance deserves, making, as it does, greater changes in the administration of the law than any Act since the 9th and 10th Vic., by which County Courts were established. By the first section all the difficulties of suing debtors where contracts are made, partly in one district and partly in another, are entirely removed. Factors and others dealing by travellers or agents are no longer to be driven to the necessity of incurring the heavy costs of the courts at Westminster, or of sending their servants with books and documents to a town perhaps in some distant part of England, in which their debtor may reside. They can now sue at the place where the credit was really given, and where the money g is rea o ll oc l a due, that is the place from which the were supplied. Again, railway companies can no longer escape from minor liabilities through the obstacles presented by those judgments of the superior courts, deciding that railway companies carry on their business where their principal office is situated—decisions which drive the poor suitor, who has had his packages lost perhaps at Carlisle, either to issue a writ or go with his witnesses up, it may be, to Bloomsbury County Court. These great changes 'teainadilty . giving tredttors a 'light to site, with the leave of the judge or registrar, "in the county court in the district in which causes of actions wholly or in part arose." The meritorious improvement is contained in the words " or in part." The second clause is scarely less important than the first. It entirely removes the abjection hitherto so properly raised to county courts, that there was no provision for taking judgments by default—that, however clear or simple, all cases must be proved. Many a creditor will, in this new staid of things, when he knows his debtor only wants pressure to make him pay a debt, rather issue a 't, in the hope that the money will come to book r that he will get judgment by default, than en r his plaint with a prospect of having to attend e court and carry on a little law suit. By the second section, in proceedings arising out of what may be properly called trade debts—de fined by " the price or value of goods or chattels which, or some part of which, were sold and deli vered to the defendant, to be dealt with in the way of his trade, profession, or calling "—the plaintiff may at his option issue a special summons, which must be personally served upon the defendant, but may be served by the creditor's clerk or servant, and the defendant must then give six days' notice in writing of his intention to defend, or judgment by default will be signed at the return-day of the summons.

The Queen Dowager of Prussia will probably meet the Archduchess Sophie of Austria during the stay of the former at Stokenfels. The Prussian government has sent a despatch to its diplomatic agents abroad, acquainting them with the purport of the communications which it has recently received from the French and Aus trian cabinets on the subject of the meeting at Salzburg. A royal decree, convoking the assembly of the Schleswig Holstein notables, has been lammed. They will probably assemble next week. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The amount proposed by the Hungarian delegates differs from this estimate by 5,000,000 florins. IE REPRESENTATION of the PEOPLE ACT, 1867. BOUNDARY COMMISSION.

By the fifth section, no costa are recoverable upon actions in a superior court, whether by ver dict, judgment by default, or demurrer, unless the court, or a judge at chambers, shall allow such costs in any action where leas than 201. is recovered on contract, or 101. on what the lawyers call tort, an action of tort being an action to obtain satisfac tion for a wrong. Oases which may be brought in the county court can, by the new act, be removed from the superior court by a defendant. By the tenth section any person against whom an action for malicious prose cution, illegal arrest, illegal distress, assault, false imprisonment, slander, seduction, or any action of tort, may be brought in the superior court, may make an affidavit that the plaintiff has no pos sible means of paying the oasts of the de fendant, should a verdict be found for the defen dant; and the judge at chambers may order the plaintiff to find security for costs, or satisfy the judge that he has • cause of action fit to be prosecuted in a superior court. If he is unwilling or unable to give security for coda, the action is to be removed to a county court, and the litigation is carried on, and fees obtained on the county court scale. These provisions will be a valuable check upon the disposition to bring speculative actions. The sy stem of trying suits before the sheriff— the old court established by the 17th section of the 3rd and 4th William IV., chapter 42—is abolished. In proceedings in equity some improvement in procedure and additional jurisdiction is given, the most important of which removes the difficulty which has hitherto existed of paying small sums of money through the accountant-general of the High Court of Chancery into the Bank of England. The Post-office Savings Banks are now made the deposi tories of the money, which must be paid in within 48 hours after the same has been received in court.

Intelligence received here from Athens, dated August 31, states that the Austrian fleet ha s joined the French, Russian Italian, and Prussian fleets in transporting Cretan families from Candice. An American vessel had been prevented by the Turks from acting in a like manner. For the carrying out of the Trustee Relief Acts, and for other purpose, connected with the admi nistration of small estates, this act affords ample security, a speedy transfer, and great economy. Hitherto the equity business in the county court has been limited in extent, partly from the general indispostion of attorneys to adopt changes, and partly, we are glad to think, from the fact that a knowledge of the remedy has brought unwilling trustees to execute small trusts, which, in some cases, had been delayed for years. Now, however, by the Bth section of the new act it is provided, that " where any snit or proceeding shall be pend ing in the High Court of Chancery which might have been commenced in a county court, it shall be lawful for any one of the parties to apply to the judge at chambers to transfer the proceedings to the county court where the same might have been commenced." This transfer may also be made by the judge without the application of the parties; and, in either case, the suit will be carried on in the proper county court, as though it bad been originally commenced therein. The act also contains an administrative improve meat of some value, because it will remove the objection so properly made to the tedious delays occasioned by the routine of merely formal busi ness at a county court sitting. Suitors who have important business have been often obliged to daily with their witnesses about the precincts of a county court, whilst the judge, or rather the officers, are engaged in recording undisputed facts, and ordering the well-established scale of small instalments for paying huckster's bills, and— although the death warrant of these is signed—ale scores. By secs. 10 and 17 admissions and unde fended cases may be taken by the registrar, so that the judge's attention can be at once and without interruption devoted to the contentious business the court.

THZ PIACI CONORIOSS AT Gswava.—The follow ing are the three question, proposed for discussion by the Intonational Peace Conpess, which will open on the 9th hist at Geneva :—First— Is the reign of peace, to which humanity aspires as the latest development of civilisation, compatible with these greet military monarchies which rob the peoples of their most vital liberties, maintain formidable armies, and tend to suppress small states for the benefit of despotic centralisation'? Or, is not rather the essential condition of perpetual peace between nations liberty for each people, and in their international relations the establishment of a confederation of free democracies constituting the United States of Europe" Second—" What are the means for preparing and hastening the accomplish ment of this confederation of free states! A return to the great principles of the revolution, now at last becoming truths ; the vindication of all liberties, individual and political ' • an appeal to all the moral energies and to con science ; the diffusion of popular education ; the destruc tion of prejudices of race, of nationality, of sect, of mili tary spirit ; the abolition of standing armies ; the harmo nising of economic interests with liberty ; the agreement of policy with morality." Third—" What would be the hest means of rendering the action of the International Congress permanent and effective? The organisation of a permanent association of the friends of democracy and of liberty." PLAcE OR Wes I—A Paris letter, in the Messager de Toulon, says :—" The experiments with small cannon are still going on. The other day one was tried at a dis tance of 1,500 yards on a cluster of trees, which were all cut down in • few minutes, just as a field of corn falls before a steam mowing machine. The effect was terrible. Five or six men armed with such an engine might destroy • whole regiment in a very little time. To attenuate the terrible ravages of fire-arms, and to restore to the bayonet the importance that seems to be escaping it, competent military men are occupying themselves with the organisa tion of night attacks. The tactics of such nocturnal com bats are studied with peat care at the Schools of St. Cyr, the Polytechnic, and of the Staff. Lastly, much is being dons in the way of constructing gunboats which can be taken to piece, and carried from place to place."

The City of London Small Debts Court is now thoroughly incorporated with the county court system, and the many obstacles arising from the division of the metropolis into independent districts have been removed. So far, then, for matters of improvement. We now come to provisions for extension. Hitherto county courts have been prevented from dealing with any questions in which the title to real estate arose. Although a county court judge might deal with questions involving the ownership of fioo/., or might imprison one of the Queen's subjects for two years, he has not been able to decide officially whether a squatter might turn a goose upon a com mon, or determine whether a hedge-row tree be longed to the one or the other of the proprietors of the adjoining land. But by the 11th and 12th sections of this Act, jurisdiction is given to the county court to try actions of ejectment where the value of the property shall not exceed 201. a year ; and also, within the same limit, to try cases where title cornea in question.

The Lords of the Admiralty have given direc tions for a series of experimental trials to be undertaken at this dockyard, with the view of testing the quality of the iron supplied to the establishment by means of ohm- trical magnetism, according to a theory propounded by Mr. Baxby, of the Royal Navy. A supply of the pig iron ballast, to the extent of 200 tons, is to be sent from this dockyard to Woolwich and Deptford, for ballasting the vessels fitting with stores for the Abysainian expedition. A detachment of the lst battalion of the 10th Regiment has joined the depot companies of that corps at this garri eon, having disembarked at Gravesend from the chartered troopship Mutlah, which conveyed them from the Cape of Good Hope, where the service companies of the let batta lion of the 10th are stationed. A FACSTIOUS PIIDIONZE. —The following is an exact oopy of a document found in the cell of a prisoner who has just been discharged from the City Prison at Bath, after three months' imprisonment for • felony:— " To be Let, ready furnished, a very snug apartment in the Bath City Hotel, Twerton. The above Hotel is replete with every couv.nience, and is situate on the rise of • lovely hill on the left of the Lower Bristol-road, within 10 minutes of the Station, from which a Royal Bus will convey you. The Hotel has • beautiful view of Lowdown, Beacon hill, Beechen-cliff, with the whole city of Bath like a panorama. The rustic village and mills of Twerton is within ten minutes' walk, and the healthful and soul-in spiring Cumbe Down. The manager of the hotel, or go vernor, keeps it that respectable that no one is admitted as • resident without • special recommendation from the mayor and magistrates of Bath.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN INDIA. —MEERUT, JOLT 24.—A terrible catastrophe which happened on Mon day night last mqq the new railway line between this station and Gazenae.d, has created • profound sensation in this station, Delhi, and the neighbourhood. A very heavy downpour of rain had occurred during the night of Sun day, the 21st inst., and continued until late on Monday afternoon. Half of this station was under water, and it wan reported that a portion of the line between Begumabad and Meerut was unsafe. In order to ascertain the amount of damage the new line had sustained, Mr. Stone, the dis trict engineer of the Delhi and Punjab Railway, accom panied by the contractor's agent, Mr. Tatlock, and several others of the railway staff, proceeded down the line from Meerut to Ceiseesbad upon an engine to which was attached a tender, but no car riages. They reached Ganeabed without discovering any serious injury to the line, and came to the conclusion that the report was unfounded. They proceeded homewards therefore at nightfall at the speed of an ordinary passenger train, viz., twenty miles per hour. Night having mean while set it, it was not perceived that, since their visit of the afternoon, a portion of the ballast on the permanent way, at • distance of about ten miles from Meerut, had given way. The engine passing over this spot was thrown off the line, and the whole party, with the exception of their chief, Mr. Stone, burled with great violence into • large pool of water adjacent, which in some degree lessened the shock. Unfortunately, Mr. Stone was seated upon the driver's box at the time of the accident, and instead of being precipitated to a distance, like the others, was caught and "jammed" between the engine and her tender in their fall. The unfortunate gentleman lay with his leg and arm crushed for needy three hours amongst the debris before it was possible to procure assistance and tools where with to extricate him from his terrible position. At last this was aecomplished, and he was placed upon a trolly and conveyed to his own house at Meerut, where several surgeons were promptly in attendance. It was found that the poor gentleman's state was • most critical one, and but few hopes were entertained of saving his life. Nevertheless the doctors deemed it expedient to amputate, as a dernier ressort, the injured leg, and the operation was performed early on Tuesday morning; the patient, however, gradually sunk after the operation was over, and died at • quarter-past seven o'clock, having endured with heroic fortitude the frightful pain he must have suffered from the commencement. Fortunately, no ethers of the party were seriously injured. The engine -driver sus. rained a very severe concussion of the leg or ankle, and some injury to his hand, but wi h this ex ception, slight bruises and • good ducking in the water were the only ill effects upon poor Mr. Stone's companions. I understand the damage to the engine is considerable, and that the line is very much the worse for the accident. A paper was circulated in the station yesterday afternoon informing the residents of Meerut that owing to the heavy fall of rain all traffic would be stopped for a few days, and that doe notice would be given of the re-opening of the line. This restriction will, I fancy, be of but short duration, as I am informed that the line is already being repaired, and will shortly be spin complete and safe.— Ddki Gazette.

"That as regards population, Scotland is increasing at a much slower pace than Eng land, the effect rather of a lower rate of marriages and • larger emigration than of any excess of mortality over births, the rate of bir th s being in both countries higher than the mita deaths ; whilst Ireland bas • decreasing population, the excess of births over deaths bang far from sufficient to counterbalance the great lose by emigration. Be sixty-mix years, from 1801 to 1866, the population of Eng ' land increased at the rate of 134 per cent., of Scotland it the rate of 94 per oent., and of Ireland at the rate of S per cent." 2. ' That in education Scotland stands in • nigher position than England and Ireland, both as re. gards the adult population and the number of children at school, the number of men who signed their marrkage register In Ragland in 1864 having been 767 par cent.; in Soothed 81111 pereent.; of women in England 671 per cent, end in Scotland 76'13 per cent. The number of children at school in 1861 was Ito 61 in Scotland ; 1 to 7'7 in Ragland; and Ito 8 in Ireland." 3. " That property I is Increasing faster in Scotland than in England and Ireland, the thriftiness and industry of the people being made mani hat in a larger accumulation of wealth ; between 1814-15 end 1864-5 the amount charged to income tax under ssitedules A, B, and D, having mauled in England at the rate of 128 per cent., in Scotland at the rate of 153 per sent. Between 1837 and 1865 the amount so charged increased in England at the rate of 31 per cent., in Scot. land se the rate of 33 per cent., and in beheld at the rate of 12i per oent." 4. "That, rim regards taxation, Scotland pays not only a larger proportion of revenue now than at any former period relatively to England and Ireland, but 1 more per heed than England and more than double Ireland. In 1864-6 the proportion borne was 78.8 per cent. by En gland end Wales, 11.9 per cent, by Scotland, and 9.3 per cent. by Ireland, spinet 83.1 per cent in England, 8.8 per cent. in Scotland, and 8.11 per cent in Ireland in 1830-2 ; the amount per head in 1864-6 having been 2i. Ba. Bd. in England, 2/. 9s. 4d. in Scotland, and 11. Is. 4d in Ireland." 5. " That, in so far as the relative amount contributed to the revenue can serve as a criterion for the respective number of members in the houses of legislature it appears that the altered proportion in the taxation borne by Scotland since the union entitles her to a larger representation than she possesees. Whilst in pro portion to revenue the relative number of members should be 519 England and Wales, 78 Scotland, and 61 Ireland, the numbers, according to the Reform Act of 1832, now are 500 England and Wales, 53 Scotland, and 106 Ireland." 7. " That the number of persons committed foe trial for indictable offences in Scotland is greater than in England or Ireland; and that though Scotland shows leas propensity to offences against property, she stands in an unfavour able position as to offences against the person. In ten years, 1857 to 1866 inclusive, the average number of per • committed in England was 138 per 1000, in Ireland '990, in Scotland 1.11. But for offences against the there were 12'10 per cent. in England, 20'43 in taa Scotland, and 3731 in Ireland. Of offences against property with violence, there were in England 74 per cent., in Scotland 48, and in Ireland 34." 8. "That the common assump tion that Scotland consumes more spirituous liquor' than England, is unfounded, when we conindertbe whole amount taken in various forms. But the diminution in gin and whisky were, unhappily, more than counterbalanced by the increased consumption of ale and wine. In 1866 the total quantity of spirits consumed wu in England 4'437 gallons per hud. In Scotland, 2184 gallons ;in Ireland, 1131 gallons. But the foreign spirits in England amounted to 1 - 864, Scotland 1147, Ireland, '857. Of beer the English drank 3393 gallons, Scotch I'oso, Irish 1110. The in creased consumption of spirituous liquors in ten years was 12} per cut. in England, 23 per cent. in Scotland, and 8 per cent. in Ireland." 9. "The savings banks deposits average per head 18a. Id. for Scotland, 375. fell. for England, and 6a sd. for Ireland." 10. " The passenger traffic on the railways was 73,400 per mile in England, 10,000 in Scotland, and 7,200 hi Ireland." 11. " The English receive on an average 28 letters per year, the Scotch 31, the Irish 10." On the whole, the professor observed that, considering its population, Scot land must be considered sa_progrewing rapidly. Mr. JANES; OLDHAR, C.K, of Hull, read • paper " On the utilisation or more profitable employment of male convicts," GEOLOGY. In this department Mr. J. Warr read a paper on the alteration of the co►et line in Norfolk. The changes which he enumerated were of ► startling and interesting character. Great indentations h►ve been made in the con. tour of the coast, and in the fen country the land had been raised in a most reinutable manner. Sir CHARLES LTELL, who ws warmly received, expressed his conviction that there had been changes, not only in the contour of the coast line and in the fen oountry, but also in the general level of the district. Mr. PCNOZIAJLT, of Torquay, reminded the meeting that it had been admitted by Whitley that the Roman em• bankment remained unaltered. This, of course, rather militated against Whitley's theory ea to the antiquity of MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE. Professor Sir WILLIAM THOMPSON, D.C.L., in opening the business of the day, alluded in the following terms to the death of Professor Faraday :—I wish I could put in words something of the image which the name of Fara day always suggests to my mind. Kindliness and unsel fishness of disposition ; clearness and singleness of pur pose brevity, Cmplioity, and directness ; sympathy with his audience; natural tact and good taste; thorough cul tivation—all these he had, and each in a me degree, and their influence pervaded his language and manner, both in conversation and lecture. But all of these combined made only • part of Faraday's charm. He bad an indescribable quality of quickness and life. Something of the light of his genius irradiated all with • certain bright intel ligence, and pee • singular charm to his manner which was felt by every one—from the deepest philo- sopher to the simplest child—whoever had the privi lege of seeing him in his home—the Royal Institution. That light has now gone from us. While thankful for having seen and felt it, we cannot but mourn our loss, and feel that whatever good things, whatever brightness may helot in store for us, that light we can see again. Dr. BALFOUR STEWART, superintendent of Kew Obser vatory, also read • paper, " On the behaviour of the ane roid barometer at different pressures." Experiments had lately been made with the view of ascertaining to what extent an aneroid ma' be considered • reliable instrument when exposed to considerable changes of pressure, such as occur in mountain districts. By means of an air-pump, the anemias when placed in &receiver might be subjected to any pressure. A. method of tapping the aneroid, had also been devised, and by this maim the experiments as to the deviations of the results given by these instruments were conducted with comparative ease, and with the greatest accuracy. The experiments were still going on. Sir WILLIAM RAWSON said the aneroid had become so popular an instrument that many had satisfaction in learning that it was capable of giving results with scientific precision. Dr. Stewart had shown that in taking a barometer up • mountain 12,000 feet, the error would only be about :.00 feet, and bad also shown how to correct this error. By carefully using the instrument, therefor,, they had • probabibty of determining with much less probability of error, the height of a mountain of 12,000 feet. Mr. BROWER entered into some explanations regarding the action of the small aneroid, one of which he had carried in his pocket for • considerable time in order to regulate the graduations of the instrument. Mr. GLAISHER corroborated the remarks of Dr. Balfour Stewart with regard to the small aneroid. Mr. GLAIIIHER called attention to the subject of luminous meteors, and pointed out that reports and disquisitions on meteoric bodies were for twenty years @mounted as mere waste paper, and were treated accordingly. Year after year the meteorologists toiled on in the fare of much adverse criticism, and, from the indifference with which their researches were treated, it seemed hopeless to expect valuable results from the carelessness with which their com munications were received by an unscientific and unappre ciative public. This year, however, Mr. Disdainr rejoiced to say that the matter wore ti much more hope ful appearance. The meteoric shower of last November was witnessed by vast numbers of people in all parts of the kingdom, and the recol lection of the splendid spectacle added a great ipte rest to any observat , ons which bad been since made re speating luminous meteors, their size, their composition, their probable distance from the earth, and the relation which they bore to the many other created objects in the field of boundless space. The researches of the aetrono mere had incontestably proved that meteors, like comets, had their orbits, and that their mevements, though erratic, were regulated by the same laws as those which governed the regular path of our own world round the sun. Sir Jone Hen/room added his testimony to that of Mr. Glidaber as to the importance of meteorology as • science, ANTHROPOLOGY. The Anthropological conference was held at three o'clock, s a = i tely from any of the lectures. Dr. Hyrrr gave an on the rims and methods of Anthropology. At two o'clock to-day the freedom of the borough of Dundee was presented to the Duke of Buccleuch, the president of the association, to Sir Roderick Murchison, to Sir Charles Lyell, and to Sir William Armstrong. The first three named are Scotahmen ; while the works of Sir William Armstrong are not less known throughout the kingdom than in the county of Northumberland, where they are situate. PROFESSOR TYNDALL'S LECTURE TO WORKING MEN. At eight o'clock last night a meeting of working men was held in the Kinneird-ball, in connection with the meetings of the Association. to hear a lecture by Profemor Tyndall on "Matter and Force." The hall was densely crowded with working men. The Duke of Buccleuch presided. On the platform were Lord Kinneird, Sir John Ogilvy, M.P., Mr. Grant Doff, M.P., and Sir John Lubbock, His grace was loudly cheered on taking the chair. In introducing the lecturer, be expressed pleasure at seeing so large a meeting of intelligent working men willing and anxious to receive instruction._ _ Professor TYNDALL delivered • long and interesting lec ture illustrated by numerous experiments, showing the attraction of one magnet by another, the power of magne tised iron, the mode of reducing water to its constituent gases and again bringing them together decomposition of nitrate of silver by electricity ; all being shown by an electric light when required, which light was shown naked at the close of the lecture. In closing his lecture, Professor Tyndall said :—One fun. daniental thought pervades all these statements—there is one taproot from which they all spring. This taproot is the ancient maxim that " out of nothing nothing comes" —that neither in the organic world nor in the inorganic is power produced without the expenditure of other power — that neither in the plant nor in the animal is there a crea tion of tome or motion. Trees grow, and so do men and hones, and here we have new power intmaantly produced upon the earth. But ite source, as I have already stated, is the sun, for he it is that separates the carbon from the oxygen of the carbonic acid, and thus enables them to recombine. Whether they recombine in the furnace of the steani.engine or in the animal body, the origin of the power they produce is the same. In this sense, we are all souls of fire and children of the sun. But, as remarked by Kelniboltz, we must be ocatent to share our celestial pedigree with the meanest living thing. The frog and the toad, and those terrible things the monkey and the gorilla, draw their power from the same mums as man. Some estimable persons present may possibly shrink from accepting these statements. They may be frightened by the apparent tendency I towards what is called materialism—a word which to many minds expresses something very dreadful. But it ought to be known and avowed that the physical , philosopher as such meet be a pure materialist, and his inquiries deal with matter and force, and with them alone. The action which be has to investigate is nem'- , sz a ri n ac o t t i t t, a not t imm o t f an m eo a u t s action—the ter enfo rce—an d transformation w tever be the forms which matter and force may 'Jennie, whether in the organic world or the inorganic, whether in the coal beds and forests of the earth or in the hand and muscles of men, the physical philosopher will niche good his claim to investigate them. It is perfectly vain to attempt to • stop investigation as to the actual and possible combinations of matter end force. Depend upon it, if a chemist by grind ing the proper materials together could produce a baby, he would do it. And why not ? There is no command forbid ding him to do it. His inquiries in this direction are limited solely by his own capacity and inexorable laws of matter , and force. At the present moment there are, no doubt, persons experimenting on the possibility of producing what we cell life out of inorganic materials. 'Let them pursue their studies in peace. It is only by such trials that they will learn the limits of their power. But while I thus make the largest claim far freedom of investigation, while I, as a man of science, feel a natural pride in the achievement, while I regard science as the most powerful instrument of intellectual culture, as well as the most powerful ministrant to the material wants of men—if you ask me whether science has solved, or is likely to solve the problem of this universe, I must shake my head in doubt. We have been thinking of matter and force; but whence came matter! whence came force? You remember the great Napoleon's ques tion. When the somata who accompanied him to Egypt discussed in his presence the problem of the uni verse, and solved it to their own apparent patidaction, he looked aloft to the starry heavens, and said, " it is all very well, gentlemen ; but who made all these?" (Cheers.) That questioa still remains, and science makes no attempt to answer it. (Cheers.) As far as I can see, there is no quality in the human intellect which is tit to be applied to the solution of the problem. It entirely transcends us. The mind of man may be compared to a musical instrument with a certain range of notes, beyond which, in both dime tiona, we have an infinitude of silence. The phenomena of matter and force lie within our intellectual range ; and so far as they reach we will at all hazards push our Inquiries. But behind, and above, and around, all the real mystery of the universe remains unsolved. Fathom this mystery as you will. With that I have nothing to do ; but be careful that your coneeptinn of the Builder of this Universe is not an unworthy eoneep ion. Invest that conception with your grandest and highest and holiest thought, but be careful of pretending to know more about it than is given to man to know. Be careful, above all things, of professing to see in the phenomena of the material world the evidences of Divine pleasure or displeasure. (Cheers.) Doubt tLose equally who pretend to see in cholera., cattle plague, and bad harvests evidences of Divine anger. Doubt those who say—and it requires courage to say this in Scotland—doubt those who say that the depreciation of railway scrip le a conse quence of railway travelling upon Sunday. They know nothing about it. Say to them in substance what was said by the mightiest Seotchman living or dead—Thomas Carlyle—(applause)—to the followers of Dr. Pusey The Builder of the Universe was else. He formed all souls, all systems, planets, p The plan he formed his worlds and aeons by Wm—Heavens thy small nine•and.thlriy articles t (Loud and prelonged cheers.) • -- • - •• . - The Duke of BUCCLZUCH, in proposing thanks to this lecturer, said that if he thought the cultivation of science would create doubt or scepticism, they would nut have seen him in that chair. (Cheers.) People might talk about inex.rable laws of nature ; but whatever idea we attached to the word nature, we must be obedient to nature's God. (Cheers.) His grace expressed gratification at presiding over so vast a meeting of working men, and said that so long as the same spirit animated working men that ant• mated all present, what wa. called the aristocracy of labour would always keep its place. It signified nothing in what sphere a man might he born, his position would be determined by himself. (Cheers.) Sir Joint Omer proposed a vote of thanks to lb* chairman, which was enthusiastically given, and the meet• ing separated.
