TEE work of reforming boys who from any cause have exposed themselves to the punishment of crime is not one which necessarily forces itself upon public attention. It is • slow and tedious business, requiring to be carried on for the most part in shade and seclusion. Accordingly we hear very little of well-conducted Reformatories, except when the necessity of raising funds leads to an appeal to the public and to meetings of friends, generally col lected with difficulty. The mode in which insti tutions of this kind may best be aided by the State has been a question of difficulty from their earliest existence; it being found that a very little encou ragement in excess calls into existence establish ments which are only Reformatories in name and appearance, and in reality abodesof disorder and nur series of idleness. We fear it is true that the rules found necessary by the Government to check the growth of these excrescences have in more than one instance proved fatal to well-directed and successful institutions of this class. If the fact be so, it is an additional reason for regretting the continued support from the public funds of so called Reformatories which in no sense fulfil the promise of their name. The primary schools aided by the Education Committee of the Privy Council are subjected to a test which more or less secures a rate of payment proportioned to useful results. It does not seem unreasonable that the Reformatories aided by the Government should be dealt with according to the same prin ciple. How would the Mount Saint Bernard Re formatory stand such • test t How many boys has it reformed ? or has it at any time since its foundation been in a condition to make it likely that one would be reformed there f The public has beard moreof the inner life of this " Reforms.- " tory" than of any other, and always to its dis advantage. We have [become accustomed to the news of " another outbreak at " Mount Saint Bernard's ;" and, perhaps, are acquiring the indifference that comes of familiarity. But the residents in its vicinity cannot take matters so easily, and we learn with out surprise that at the present moment the whole neighbourhood is in a state of alarm, owing to what, ludicrous as it may seem, is seriously and correctly termed the " threatening attitude of the " boys." A few months ago the subject was brought under the consideration of the Home office, and an inquiry having been ordered a report was made to Sir Gwent Garr, showing that the monks either did not possess or were unwilling to d'art the authoray 1166essary IC mania or to control a large number of turbulent boys of the age at which youth most needs a bridle. Some changes were accordingly made, but whether owing to these, or as the natural development of causes of longer standing, the government of the institution is now weaker and more ineffectual than ever. The boys appear able to do just as they plasm, and they please to do nothing but mischief. The recent disturbances began on Sunday week with the escape of four lads, who rose in the night, and after letting them selves down from the dormitory, unobserved by the officers, broke into another part of the premises, dressed themselves in the best clothes they could find, and made their escape. On the following Tuesday nearly the whole of the criminal inmates, 180 in number, rose in mutiny, not only refusing to work or otherwise obey their superiors, but attacking and severely beating the few well disposed lads who were ready to do so. If this , 1 insurrection was not irresistible, it was deemed so, and the place was at the mercy of the mutineers. We are informed that about 50 of them, having first armed themselves with knives and sticks, went off to Bardon, a neighbouring village, where they attacked with knives and atones some la bourers, who, knowing the clandestine character of their visit, attempted to capture them ; one of the labourers was wounded severely. On the same evening, another party went out on a pleasure trip. These young fellows knew what they were about too well to run away ; 70 of them returned, taunted and defied the officers, were masters of the place, called for what they chose, were supplied with it, and no want remaining ungratified went to bed. It is added, and we can well believe it, that if their freak hadended here the public would have heard of it. But they were so unwise as to challenge the outer world. On the next day after their saturnalia • party of them, who were in a field "at work," saw a farmer whom they recognised as having assisted the authorities against them, and fairly hunted him to the refuge of • neighbouring inn, which they surrounded, demanding his delivery to them by the landlord. On their request being refused they smashed the windows of the house. It would be wearisome to follow in detail the story of their outrages. On Friday in the same week there was another general revolt, when as usual " the authorities " were paralysed," and the police were called in. Thirty lads were looked up, and still more police were required, as " there were signs of " • formidable rising." An official inquiry is to be made into these facto by the Home-office ; without anticipating its results, which will no doubt show with great discrimina tion bow the blame of the scandalous occurrences ought to be distributed, we have no hesitation in submitting to the public that the experiment of 1 11%11 • the Meant Saint Bernard ' I tried quite long enough. No • . iwered, or likely to be answered, by its existence. The canes et anal rstoramelices, at present and diegraced by its mismanagement, C a ot ag t r e .cl a gainer by its immediate "oppression. The pretence of reforming its inmates can be kept, up so longer. It has become a place few pampa*. young scoundrels. The boys should at once be removed to some place where they may learn that " the ways of transgressors are bard." Every honest, industrious lad in the kingdom is wronged while they are permitted to revel, as they have lately done, at the public expense. IFDe elan. BALMORAL, Jun I.

CiTarar. r PALACZ. n SHILLING DAY. FILIDAT, JUNI S.—Admissions on payment, 1,081 ; ditto by slams tickets, 795 ; total, 1,876. maims . arreitiF 4 meat of Cambridge, Mid its ancient learned university, had culminated with the noisy, but im prteuve and truly Pkglish scene in the Senate house, they were much mistaken. It was only then commencing, it continued all night, and no* shows even but slight symptoms of abatement. If the Prince and Primus get through it all without exhaustion, it will segue as well for the sanitary con dition of royalty as th e most loyal of the people could wish. From the Senate-house the royal party proceeded to Peterhouse, to dine with r the Vice-Chancellor, and it was with some diffi culty that even the reserve of A's kept the popular enthusiasm within sufficient bounds to allow fres passage to the royal carriages. A small wort of the Kimboltons presided the royal carriage, but the efficiency of the London p olice rendered their duty a very light one. Allowing . a small interval, during which the Prince and Prmoess may be sup posed to be contemplating their visit to the A.D.C.s, I shall now endeavour to give you &slight idea of what was doing in the streets. I under stand that the University authorities had, in not a very friendly manner, refused the town any direct participation in the welcome to be given to the Priam - and Princes of Wales. The town council had offered them a suitable and perfectly safe room for the ball, but the Dons would have "none at it." It was a University festival, and "gown " must have it all to itself. The citizens, however, were determined that if the University was to have all the fun, it was not to monopolise all the loyalty. As if by magic, the streets were decorated, and in the evening there was a very beautiful and perfectly spontaneous illumination. One small street— "the Crescent "—looked like fairy land, with its green bouquets and its Chinese lanterns. Fitzroy street, also, came out strong—had iota of lights, a fountain playing, and many groups dancing ; and among the colleges, St. Catherine's was loyally conspicuous for the brilliancy of its Chinese illumination. From the noble church tower of St. Mary's, the electric light darted its fitful lustre down fora moment upon the mobile crowd, in the next leaving them in Cim merian darkness. The boys of Cambridge are of strong pyrotechnic tendencies, and are at the same time intimately persuaded that every one likes squibs as well as themselves. They threw these not always harmless explosives into the air and out of the windows ; vertically up, perpendicularly down, and vehemently in every lateral direction. One or two passing crinolines were slightly ignited, and the sight of an insignificant stranger nearly extin guished, but the London police were not there, and the local force seemed entirely to sympathise with the tastes of the juvenile popula tion. Never mind, it was all in honour of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the merry boys when they are grey-headed old men will " mind the time wien they let off squibs in the market-place in honour of Albert Edward the First." You will readily imagine that, &mid such a scene and through such a noisy, jolly, boisterous, but perfectly civil and accommodating crowd, it was not easy for any man who was not exactly au anatomic Meant, to make his way to the little theatre at the back of the Hoop, in which the clever A. D. C.s had prepared a theatrical enter tainment for the royal party. The theatre was, perhaps, not so large as the Globe at Bankside, but it was not thatched with straw, and the appointments were wonderfully complete. This, perhaps, is not to be wondered at, seeing that the A. D. C.s owe their existence to Mr. Frank Burnand, who, when an under graduate, founded the company. The room is in Jesus-lane, not in but at the back of the Hoop, an inn which has long been much used by undergraduates. It was formerly the billiard-room and may now therefore be said to be appropri ated to a much more harmless purpose. It was nine o'clock when the Prince and Princess arrived, and they were immediately accommodated in a place very conti guous to the stage. It is needless to say that tho little theatre was crowded to suffocation ; but it is gratifying to add that the crowd were highly delighted with the entertainment. The royal visitors seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. They ate ice, sipped coffee, and laughed, espe cially the Prince, at White Bait at Greenwich, and The Wonderful camp, both I believe pieces written by the founder of the A.D.C.'s. There was another piece, but nobody waited for it, as the Prince and Princess were bound for the ball, and the rest of the oompany wished to have the honour of attend ing their royal highnesses thither. It is hardly necessary to state that the Museum is one of the great architectnail lions of Cambridge, very classical in design, and not unlike the Museum at Berlin. It was never intended to have a thousand people, including the officers of the Kimbolton volunteers, dancing in its saloons, and therefore it had to be shored up for yesterday evening's festivity. The vestibule looked uncommonly well, being lined all round with red and white, in broad stripes, and filled with the choicest exotics, which, however, all came to grief in the course of the evening when they were swept down by the ladies' draperies, and then crushed by the gentlemen's boots. The ordinary means of lighting had not been found sufficient, and there fore the ratherquestionable expedient of placingrows of paraffin lamps on pedestals all along the walls was adopted. At a former ball, it appears, the company complained of the dripping of the wax lights ; but surely, after the recent experience in Chili, paraffin lamps were hardly admissible, and if one of them had been overturned amid the clouds of muslin that were incessantly spinning and whirling about the room, it would be bard to say what might have been the consequence. The grand saloon looked very well and brilliant, with all its beautiful pictures, and the recess at the upper end quite regal with its crimson chair of state sad tabarets for the royal party. The rooms at each aide were also laid out for dancing, and there was a sit-down supper for forty in an apart ment below, which if the building were ecclesiastical I should call a crypt. The Prince and Princess and the Duke of Cambridge did not arrive until half ' past 11 o'clock, when the company, as usual on these occasions, crowded round them for a good stare, and ladies actually stood up on the crimson chairs of state which had been intended for the royal party. There was not—there could not be— much dancing except in the royal quadrille in the grand saloon ; but theside rooms accommodated each two rows of terriohormina, who arranged their quadrilles to look something like an old country dance. The Princess wore a good many diamonds over her mourning, and the Prince and the duke wore ordinary evening deem. There is not much more to be said about the ball, as all balls are so much I alike, except that in the royal quadrille the Prince of Wales danced with the Duchess of Manches ter. the Princess of Wales with the Duke of Cam bridge, and that Earl Spencer and the Countess of Morton were in the same set. There was great anxiety to see the royal dancers, and this gave the latter nearly a monopoly of the dancing in the grand saloon. There were two bands—Cooke and Timmy's, and the, band of the Grenadier Guards —and both "discoursed must excellent music " for the company. Karl Fitzwilliam had the honour of handing the Princess; of Wales down to supper, but the crowd was so great that I could not see who followed. As a matter of fact, I believe that among the general company there were a good many who went without any supper at all ; but this did not arise from any deficiency in the viands, but from the want of accommodation. Had the University accepted the offer of the Town Council, they would have done in the way of pre liminaries for 3001. what actually cost them 2,0001., and the company would have had ample scope and verge both for dancing and refreshment. Both the Prince and Princess were, however, quite satisfied, and his Royal Rieman said as he entered his carriage that "The ball was a complete success." To-day's proceedings commenced with the royal visit to King's College Chapel, where the Litany and anthem—the latter, "I have built there a house," by Boyce--were magnificently sung by the choir. Ay nobody was admitted here except by special At terries o'clock the Senate-house was aloe again filled with noisy undergraduates (who were not at all hoarse, notwithstanding their violent exertions of the previous day) gaily-dressed ladies, learned doctors in their robes, and university offi cials. Previous to the arrival of the illus trious visitors and the distinguished persons who were to have degrees, the time was beguiled with the usual variety of trim. There was a groan for Mr. Disraeli, a tremendous cheer for the Queen, a dubious recognition of the Pope, and a most de cided one of King Victor Emmanuel. Sir Bulwer Lytton had an unequivocal ovation, and when Lord Palmerston arrived, accompanied by Earl Granville, the cheering was unanimous and tremendous. His lordship, who wore his doctor's robe and the Star of the Bath, looked well, and stood before his chair for a long time bowing in acknowledgment of the vociferous greeting of the undergraduates. It is needless to say that the Prince of Wales, the Princess, and the Duke of Cambridge, had a splen did reoeptiun, as the popularity of toe royal family appears to increase every time their royal highnesses appear in public. The conferring of degrees com menced with real Granville, who was loudly sheered, followed by the Duke of Manchester, about whose popularity there can be no question. Then tame Earl Stanhope, whose name was accepted ermine dissaitiente, and Lord Carnarvon, who apparently bad no enemies in the galleries. Lord Everaley seemed to be fairly popular, but his lord ship's reception was but a mild prelude to the ova tion that awaited Lord Palmerston. There cer tainly never was a more unanimous public welcome tendered by any public assembly to an eminent public man. Sir B. Lytton, Sir Page Wood, Sir C. Eastlake, ware all well received, but the general harmony was somewhat disturbed when Dean Stanley's turn came. The groaning set up by a few undergraduates was very pertinaciously sus tained, but was completely overborne by the general plaudits. When the degree was conferred, both' the Princess and Prince of Wales honoured Dean Stanley with marked smiles of recognition. Of the remaining new doctors it will be only neces sary to notice Dr. Watson, the eminent physician, and Professor Wheatstone, both of whom were much cheered; but the professor being the last doctor who received his degree, was irreverently endowed with the additional title of " wooden spoon" by some rather juvenile voice from the gallery. Before leaving the building some undergraduates set up a cheer for Canon Wordsworth, but it was not universally responded to. aiiivid of thisir'zines was perhaps the most g that occurred during rose for a moment as the church, and then . singing absorbed all The cheering was enthusiastically renewed as the Prince and Princess left the building, and the re maining company broke up into groups and chattily discussed the leading events of the day. Amongst them there was nothing respecting which there was a more general concurrence of opinion than as to the manner in which the Public Orator, the Rev. F. G. Clark, discharged his arduous duty. Those who were most competent to judge declared for the elegance of his Latinity, and all present could testify to the appropriateness and impressiveness of his elocution. Amongst others, Mr. Walpole crossed the dais and complimented Mr. Clark on the apt ness of his allusions to the different personages on whom degrees were conferred. Lord Palmerston was pronounced to be the best pilot in a storm, and the friend of oppressed nationalities.

Lytton, " Poeta, Philosophise, Orator," was praised for the moral purpose of his later novels. Like Horace of old, Omue valor vitiora Taagit at admire* cucum pnecordia ludic • The Orator stated the case for the Dean of West minster as strongly as possible, alluded to his unselfish and chivalrous character, to his travels in the Bast with the Prince of Wales, to his ardent love of truth, and to the courage with which he defended opinions he had been led to adopt by inquiry, concluding with the aspiration :—" Te igitur Oxonienaibus tun; invidemus. Tails quum us, noster esto l" Dr. Watson will be content to be "facile princeps" and " nulli secundus," and even the awkward fact that Professor Wheatstone's telegraphy was an undiscovered mystery in the days when Latin was a spoken language, did not prevent the inexhaustible Mr. Clark from finding appro priate terms of commendation. The day's festi►ities may be said to have termi nated with the flower show, at which the Princess of Wales distributed the prizes of the School of Art ; and the marshalling, if I may so call it, of the University boats in honour of the royal visitors. Of the latter it was universally admitted that the spectacle was much more gay and splendid than the ordinary annual procession of the boats which took place about three weeks before. The boats started from the locks below St. John's in the following order : ORDER 07 ROAM COLOURS. Trinity Hall 111 Trinity Dark Wan and white I Triaity Lady Margant, 84. Jaha's Emmanuel I blue ribbon ... Corpas . Cheery and white Christ's Caine Pembroke Clare Magdalene I Dark blue with laveader I and indigo ribbon . ... Jaw II Trinity ......... King's Rod and brisk J Pink sod whit* with light ' ..... bias ribbon Purple and whit. They passed St. John's grounds first, where tre mendous crowds bad congregated for the flower show, and to see the Princess Alexandra distribute the prizes of the School of Art. There was a regular crush here, and immense cheering ; the whole scene looking exceedingly animated under the afternoon sun, and enlivened by the gay flags and flowers with which the fairy flotilla was decorated. Trinity Hall boat, being "the head of the river," was wreathed with flowers, and all the men wore flowers in their caps. Every other boat bore its distinguishing flag, and all displayed the national standard of Denmark. A man on Clare Bridge waved • flag, and each boat as it passed under " put on a spurt" which was kept up vigorously until they reached • part of the liver where there was space enough for a turn. The Prince and Princes, of Wales, who were in Ring's grounds, where • marquee had been elected, watched this animated pageant from the banks, and when the boats returned and formed a sort of bridge across the river, the men tossing their oars anti cheering lustily, their royal high- nesses bowed repeatedly, evidently delighted with what they saw. The whole scene was very striking, the Prince and theitstinguialiedDoetetsof Laws who accompanied him weaeing their scarlet robes, and the creed in their guernseys, and flags and flowers. Add the immense crowds which lined every part of the bank from which &glimpse could beobtained, and you can form some idea of what a very pleasant and exhilarating ceremoxial was this procession of the university boats. Three cheers for the Queen, and three more for the Prince and Princess of Wales, followed, and then the boats all paddled away in the order in which they had advanced. From this the royal party proceeded to the flower show in St. John's grounds, of which the only thing re markable to be recorded was the touching grace with which the Princess presented the prizes to the pupils of the School of Art. A homely bystander said that her royal highness looked like Queen Elizabeth when she was young, and "smiled through and looked through any one. 11 11 fill • I -, , • *..

On their return they will par tite of luncheon at Magdalene College Lodge, with the Hon. and Rev. the Master of Magdalene, and they will leave Cambridge about 1 o'clock. rt isoi l w L q, LL GEN= ~l rIBERMENT OF DENMARK AND DANISH OPINION& Is Germany the majority of the journals con tinue to declare themselves against the partition of Sleswig, with an energy and vivacity of expression which often extends to indecorum. •' Germany," says the National Gazette of Berlin, " permits gouty Palmerston and prating Russell to sketch the line of demarcation is the Duchy. When these two ruins of statesmen offer to us for the lives and blood of 10,000 German soldiers the line of the Schlei, which perhaps the Danes would have ceded to us without war, and which England is very desirous of according to us, shall we accept such a reward of victory, and shall we betray the northern Sleswigers whom we wish to free I As we are not obliged to leave England to dictate the terms of pesos, the German powers will doubtless semember that in preferring war to negotiations they are compelled to secure a peace cor responding with the victories gained by their armies." The Gazette de la Croix sustains the same thesis by other arguments. " The question to whom Holstein and Sleswig belong ought," it says, " to be decided legally now that the protocol of London has been abandoned, and Denmark rejects personal union. But when he who has the greatest right to the sovereignty of the Duchies shall have been designated, it will be necessary to give him all Sleswig. The fact that Denis inhabit the north of that Duchy can have no influence on the question of right. Whatever may be the pretensions of Ger many with respect to Sleswig they relate to the en tire Duchy. Is the French language only spoken in Alsace i Is the English language only spoken at Gibraltar, at Malta, and at Heligoland 1" At Copenhagen people are not yet familiarised with the idea that the neutral powers can lend a hand in the dismemberment of Denmark. "The maintenance of our integrity," says the official organ of the Danish government, " appears to be the only means of avoiding a considerable extension of power on the pert of Prussia. A Sleswig.Holstein under the Prince of Augustenburg would be nothing else than a vassal state of Prussia. To authorise such a distribution of the balance of power in Europe, and to allow Prussia to occupy all the positions of the Eider and of the Scblei, as well aa the most important ports of the Baltic Sea, would be a weakness and a condescension on the part of the European powers which would singularly clash with the policy they have followed on other occasions." The same journal announces that Artillery Major Kauffman has, by order of the government, set out for London to assist, in case of need, the Danish plenipotentiaries in reference to military questions. " It is," says the writer, "doubtless the new con ditions to be agreed upon in view of the prolonga tion of the truce, and the numerous strategic de tails oonnected with the partition of Sleswig, that have dictated this mission."

The natives were defeated at the former place, which they abandoned, wb.le at the latter the English troops suffered a reverse.

PARIS, rani & a. M. Ernest Renan has addressed the following letter to the Minister of Public Instruction : Sevres, Jane 2. I learn HIM morning, by the letter Math you did me the bestow to send me, and alio by the Mona,. , that the Emperor (by a deans signed yesterday) hag deigned to appoint me keeper and sub•assistaot director of manuscripts in the Billiothique Imperiale. By the terms of the existiog replatices, any place io the portal Library la ineemplible with • professorship. Tr, accept the functions to which the Emperor is pleisei to call me would be therefore tantamount to my resignation of the chair which I occupy in the College of France. I have frequently had the honour of explaining to your axcellsocy the reuses which make it impossible for me to resign that chair either directly or Indirectly. I was elected to the chair of Hebrew, Chaldaic, and Syria.: language& by the suffrage of the professors of the College of France amid my colleagues of the Academy of Inscrip. tiooe and Belles LeArex This &sir, moreover, was not for me a promotion and nothing more. I sought to bare that chair for itself and not on account of the salary attached to it. The Hebrew and Aramean toognee are my scientific speciality. I attached great importance to this teaching, because in my opinion the welcome of critical studies in France is greatly attri• hatable to the neglect of Semitic literature, which has bog prevailed. I have always regarded es my peculiar ecientinc task and moral duty to revive these studies in our great schools. However fiattering, therefor*, may be the sou r, flirt which I left in the Imenseeipt department of the Imperial Library, I do not accept the yIUICUOOII which the Emperor sou yesterday *seed to confer upon me. The chair of the Hebrew, Chaldaic, and Syriac languages io the College of France I. not suppressed. I am not dismissed, but the salary is provisionally diverted to another purpose. I bad hitherto received this salary without my dignity, of which IL le Minister, I em a good judge, suffering in the least degree; in the fire place, bemuse, after my num. slog, I was led to hope that the lectures would speedily be reopesed ; and, in the neat place, because to have given up the salary would have been to recognise a state of things spinet which I have never ceased to protest; thirdly, bosom I have, in point of fact, fulfilled the duties of the chair as far as pos. Bible, and in • manner which, in my opinion, was most useful. As soon as I nocterstood that the continua. tioa of my lectures might be indefinitely postponed, I gave • course of readings at my own house to those °septettes and *bloom who would have taken an interest in my lessons at the Collage of Fronts. Such teaching (and I have always said it) is merely intended for some ten or a dozen persons already prepared and devoted to scientific labours. At the meet flourishing periods in the teem/ of the College of France the most celebrated masters have proceeded iu this manner, and I venters to state that moat of the classes which have bees held in the regular halls have I net borne as much fruit as mine. The narrow edministra• five ideas of our time ought not to be transported in too absolute a way into the region of intellectual things. The superficial economy which regards it as supreme wisdom to see the immediate sad tangible product of its money has nothing to do with sciatica Science measures merit by the resat. acquired, and not by the execution more or lees punctual of • regulation, and if ever you reproach a man of learning who does some honour to him country with sot einem the feeble sum allowed him by the state, believe me, M. Minister, he will reply to you as I do sow, and after as illustrious example, Fermis tee tam sit. Apply then, IC Minister, the funda voted far the chair of the Hebrew, Chid. dale, red Syriac, Lineages to each toed as you think fit. I retain • title which I bold from the doable preeeetation of the prdeisore at the College of Freese and my colleagues at the Institute. Without salary I shall cashew to fulfil the duties which the title imposes spas me—ever to labour with all my might in the progress of the studies the tradition of which has been confided to me. Receive, M. Mimi/ter, the assurance of the high esteem and profound respect with which I have the honour to be your exciellency's very bumble and obedient servant, EILVIAT BiIIAN.
