UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON. The council, at their session on Saturday last, accepted the resignation of Mr. Merlet. of the professorship of F rench language and literature. They passed a resolu tion expressing their high opinion of the zeal and ability with which Professor Meriet bed instructed the French dames of the college and /school from the opening of the college to the present time, and their deep regret at the termination of his long and valuable services. They or dered the vacancy to be advertised. At the same session a report was received from the examiners for the Ricardo Scholarship in Political Economy, Professor Waley, M.A., and Mr. Richard Holt Hutton, M.A., that at the ex. animation Mr. William Stanley Jevons stood fiat in merit, and was entitled to the scholarship ; and that Mr. Herbert Hardy Comm Hardy, and Mr . John Laing, equal in merit, were deserving of commendation on account of their posi tive proSciency, which would have deserved the scholarship. The scholarship WM awarded accordingly to Mx. Jevons. Sr Edward Ryan and Mr. Edward Rom . y were appointed a *munition to select from a list of applicants a student to he recommemisd to Mr. Martin Tucker Smith, M.P., for his acaminatioo to a cadetship in the Madras army. On the Taman:etiolation of the medical committee of the hospital, it was resolved to institute an office of assistant-surgeon to the eye infirmary of the timpani, and the intention was ordered to be advertised. On the application of students with a view to the degrees of B.A. and B.Sc, of the Univer sity of London, arid on the recommendation of the Senate of the College, it was resolved to institute evening courses of instruction in animal physiology and apology. Mr. John Marshall, surgeon to the hospital, author of the week and diagrams lately published under the title of " The Human Body, it. Structure and Functions," was appointed lecturer for the courses in physiology ; and Dr. Grant, Professor of Comparative Anatomy anal Zoology in the College, was requested to undertake to give the lectures on zoology. THE FORTHCOMING CONFERENCE MN MR HINGHAM ON RAGGED AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. An influential meeting of gentlemen, who as sembled on the invitation of the Recorder and Mr. Charles Rateliff, took place on Wednesday, at I)ee's Hotel, M- I mingham, for the purpose of nuking the neceseary ar . rangeinenta for the approching conference in reference to " the education of the dangemun and perishing classes of society," intended to be held on the Zlnl instant en that town. The ettendsoce included the Recorder, who pre sided ; the Mayor (A. Ryland, Esq.) ; R. Spooner, Vori , M.P.: the ex-Mayor (Sir John itaicliff), Mews. C. Rat- I did, John F. Ledeam, Aston, Barlow, Yates, Hibbtet, Morgan, Hemlock, Jones, sc. ; Revs. Burt, Pettitt, Brittle*, Hill, Dr. Mackenzie. Apologies for absence were road from the Hon. and Rev. G. M. Yorke, Mr. Kynners ley, and other gentlemen interested in the movement, and promising their 00-operation. In opening the proceedings, the RZCORDER observed that they were met for the purpose of making the necnisery bnai nese preparations for the conference, the object of which I had been fully explained in the circular accompanying the invitations. Ile alluded to the conferences which bad been previously held in the town, and which had con ferred such great distinction upon it, and to the important results to which they had led, more per ticularly in regard to the reformatory schools. He remarked that the industrial schools had received the benefit of government sssistance, and a bill is now in pre paration far supplying the deficiency with regard to them. He alio noticed the withdrawal of the assistance hem ragged achools, and observed that it was to that particular else. of institutions that the attention of the conference would be directed. He concluded by expressing his grati fication that they would have the benefit of Sir John Pakington's presidency at the morning meeting, and that he hoped to he able to induce Sir John Colee, the friend of education, who so long adorned the jud.WW bench, to take the chair at the evening meeting. A large committee, consisting of the gentlemen present, was appointed, with power to add to their number, and, at the tog of the meeting, Mr. Charles Rateliff was ap pointedboa secretary. It was decided that the mayors, magistrates, *musicals of reformatory and industrial schools, and chaplains of =in the kingdom, and the provosts of the different boroughs, should be invited to attend the conference. The conference will take place at Dee's Hotel, in the morning of the '..ttrd, end a meeting in the evening at the Town-ball, the use of which (has been granted by the mayor. MCP Ent 0?

He has bees engaged, we un. elipsl. l l, for series of six of these Moods/ Concerti, and will We e be also heard at the principal concerts of the Immo& Phi concert of last night began with Schubert's string , instrument quartet in D minor—a piece which, froth I ijgreat length, might be called the dt ritfrtanct Abe evening. Of Schubert's genius his beautiful songs ar ballads leave no doubt ; but it appears to us that he ha been leas happy when he has undertaken works de longue hateine--symphonies or quartet. This quartet in particular is (especially in the principal movement) a palpa ble imitation of Beethoven's latest and least imitable style ; and Schubert has only been obscure sod incoherent, with out Bsethoven'a wonderful grasp of thought. There is sue movement, however—an andante with varia tions—which, though an evident reminiscence of the A minor andante in Beethoven's seventh sym phony, is very charming. The last movement 'b 'merely a solo for the first violin, to show off the per brilliant execution. We mikes that we thought the 40 minutes which this performance lasted might have been more pleasantly spent in listening to a work of one of the great masters. Those works are sufficiently numerous to render it quite unnecessary, for the sake of variety, to re sort to second-rate composers. Had Haydn's charming quartet in E, No. 59, instead of being stuck in at the end of the concert, been introduced at the beginning, the effect would have been better, and the concert long enough. We must add, however, that the quartets were played in per fection, Vieuxtemps being assisted by Ries, Schretus, and Piatti. The vocal portion of the concert was very interesting. Both the singers— Miss Laseelles sod Miss Augusta Thomson are deservedly favourites of the public. Both of them chose excellent music, and sang it ad mirably. Miss Laseelles sang Benedict's chaining eons, " The Maiden and the River," and Henry Smart's sweet and expressive ballad, " I am so weary, life so dreary." Mir Augusta Thomsee's pima, were, Montt's song, "The very angels weep, dem.," (one of the German litchi., to which Mr. Oxenford has adapted excellent English vanes). and Idendelmohn's fine romance, " Suleika." The vocal pieces were accompanied by Mr. Benedict with his masterly skill and delicacy. ST. JAMES'S-BALL. On Saturday evening a concert was given by . _ _ _ " Dr. Mark and his Little Men," who have been engaged by Mr. Mitchell to give a series of similar performances during the present week. Dr. Mark is the originator and conductor of a seminary at Manchester, called " The Royal College of Music," esteddished (as he states) for the pur pose of affording an efficient musical and general education to boys in the poorer or middle classes of society through. out the kingdom. We have observed for sonic time past, from the local newspapers, that Dr. Mark and his pupils have been giving concerts with success in Scotland and the provinces ; and from reports of public meetings at Mtn cheater and elsewhere, and other testimonies, which be has printed and circulated, it appear' that his institution, and the course of instruction pursued in it, have met with much approbation. At the concert on Saturday evening the performers were about forty young men and boys, selected from the students of the college, who formed an orchestra, while Dr. Mark acted as conductor and amompanyist on the pianoforte. The youths, whose ages seemed to vary from seven or eight to seventeen or eighteen, made a pleasing group, and some of 111111 M showed promising talent NORWICH MI'SICAL FinertrAu—On Saturday a meeting of the " guarantees" of the late musical festival, at Norwich, was held for the purposs of remark* a report from the general otimmitk.e. In the absence of the Bari of Albemarle (who is abroad), the Rev. Load Bayning pre- sided. It appeared from a statement of accounts which acoompaisied the report, that the receipts had been :—Donm time, 1831. ; sale of tickets, 4,374!. ; books of the pot ion:wpm, 1711. ; ball, 3441. ; promenade concerts, re hearsals, ke., 211. ; making a total, including fractions, of 5,095/. The disbursements bad been :—Conductor, 105/. ; principal vocal performers, 1.386/. ; instrumental band, 9661. ; chorus singers, 4821. ; fitting (up Bt. Andrew's-hall, 2991. ; printing and advertising, 271/. ; ball expenses, 1421.; music, musical instruments, orchestra expenses, attendance andpolice, :lioral practice and rehearsals, contingencies, &c., 4271. ; narking a total, including fractions, of 4,179/. A profit of 9161., therefore, remained as the result of the festival ; and of this mum the committee proposed to distri bute, 8001. among the local charities, and to add the remaining balance to the reserve fund for the next festival. THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. general meeting of the proprie - tors of the Polytechnic Institut i on was held jeeterday afternoon in the premises, for the purpose of receiving from tie directors a report of the present position and future prcepects of the institution. The Rev. J. B. Ooze occupied the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been reed and confirmed, the report of the directors was read. It stated that they Mel purchased the leases. stock, and fixtures of the late Polytechnic Institution for the sum of 4,0001. The small amount of share capital sub 'vibe,' hod enforced on the board the greatest economy in making the alterations and repairs. The directors having only our half of the shares subscribed had done their utmost to bring down the outlay. There had bean incurred for the repairs and alterations of building, 3,0131. 11.. Bd. ; for gas apparatus, fittings,views,&c., 366/.os. Bd.; for and other expenses, /cc., up to opening, 1,8751. 107.1 k total on capital account in re-opening the building to the public had been 12,255/. The number of shares taken wee given at 1,010, representing a capital of 10,1001. The sum of 5001. bad been received in donations, and 2,000/. had been lent to the institution partly on a guarantee given by certain shareholders, and partly on the security of the leases. The total capital amount received had been 12,0061. 12a. tisL, which left 6531. 9s. 11d, in hand when the whole of the uncalled capital was received, but against which there was owing 1.600/. on the loan before mentioned. The current account, the report went on to esy, had not does much towards placing the institution in a satisfactory position. In the seven weeks ending Dec. 31, 1860, the sum of 8021. bad been earned, against the sum of 811/. expended. Of this MM. might be annidered incidental to the opening SWIM and therefore the expeoditure might fairly be pat down at 801., and it was to be remembered that November was the least remunerative month in the year. The directors be lieved that a greater excess of receipts over expenditure might be anticipated, and the two weeks i d the present year confirmed that opinion to an extent 'Which justified them iu believing that Vie institution was growing in public favour. Either the shares at present subscribed for would require to be fully called up•without leas of time to meet outatanding claims, or other exertions would be required. The directors hoped that, seeing success had so far bees attained, the proprietor. would dispose of at least 300 more shares, which would enable the institution to be carried on with advantage to the public and the shareholder.. Mr. E. MATHEW having explained in detail the figures in the report, it was ROYAL COLOOSZUM. —Amidst the variety of theatres and other places of amusement open at this festive season. few, if any, have obtained more deserved sec than the above institution. Di. Bechhoffoer, the lessee and manager, while avoiding in every respect any tendency or approach to the clam of entertainments appropriately de nominated " fist life," knows well enough that dry, doll, didactic lectures manor afford an agreeable coerce 0(111C1•11- tioll to the teeming multitudes, at all times too eager to throw off the mental strain inseparable from daily toil and drudgery. The entertainments here are short and varied, and so good that it appears incredible how so much can be remuneratively given for so walla SUM. On Wednesday last the lessee dripped a gigantic Chriatnias tree of its thousands of toys watches, and jewellery, the distribu tion of which affoi-ded immense pleasure to the juvenile multitude by which it was surrounded. An announcement was made ci another distribution from the tree en Weds's day sext. ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNT/BB RAILWAY. —A slight collision occurred at the Colchester station of this railway on Sunday morning at 9.50 a.m., whereby a few of the passengers were slightly shaken. *lie accident occurred Sy the down parliamentary train, as it wee drawing into the station for the purpose ci stopping, coming into oontact with some goods wagons, in consequence of the slippery Mete of the rails from the falling snow. The shock was slight, none of the vehicles leaving the rail., and after a detention of half an hour the train proceeded to its destination with all the wronger., except one gentleman, who remained till the following tiain. OUTMAN, JAN. 14. Major-General Eyre, commanding the forces at this perison, has issued an order to the troops under hie command to the effect that any Maser, non-iommissioned efluer, or soldier (or any of their families), in the district, Who may be disposed to contribute any sum, however trifling, to the relief of the great distress Doer Pluval l3 l; amongst the poor, esp i ecially in certain plums; every tam lity will be afforded them for having their charitable uten time+ carried out. The =jar-general has also announced that a committee will be appointed to see that the sums contributed in the garrison are appropriated according to the wishes of the subscribers. A donation of even one penny from each individual would amount to a sum that would be very acceptable. The poor of the district, the major-general states, have the principal claims on the belie. volent, but the most painful kinds of distress seem to exist in London and Coventry, and whichever of those pkees the donors may wish to assist then donation shall be sent to it. Tin ENGINES OF THIS WARRIOR. —One of the cylinders, weighing upwards of tons, for the engines of this vessel was on Friday conveyed from the establishment of Messrs. John Penn and Sons, the manufacturers, at Greenwich, to their wharf at Deptford. Two of Bray's traction engines were in attendance, a large one for the purpose of drawing the load, which was placed on a truck , weighing 5i tons; and a mailer one to be in attendance in ease of any difficulty arising from the condition of the roads ' owing to the present severe weather. The removal was accomplished with signal success, and establishes the fact that where great weights have to be removed front place to place, and railway or water carriage is not available, these traction engines, from the power they possess of overcoming any difficulties of road by the construction of their wheels, are invaluable, as combining at the same time • most efficient and economical means of transport. IKON-CAMEO WA R STEAMERS. —Th e Admire lty have decided upon increasing without further delay the number of our iron-cowed steam menof-war, and letters were sent out on Saturday from Whitehall, calling upon Messrs. Na pier, Laird, Scott Russell, Mare, Samuda, Palmer, West wood and Co., and the Thames Yard Ship Building Com ny (Limited) to seed in tenders by the 24th instant fur building two ships of about 4,000 tons each. The vessels are to be very similar in 000structims to the Resistance and Defence, now nearly complete. They are to be 280 feet long, rai feet broad, and plated with iron slabs fore and aft. The angular principle will not be adopted in this instance, notwithstanding all that has been dope and said upon the subject. We, however, infer from inquiries which we have made that the question is still a moot one with the officers of the Comptroller's Department, and that consequently the instalment made to oar iron navy is at preseut only a small one.

It will be recollected that her Majesty's ship Cams* was ordered home from the West Indies on account of circumstances ;;;;;;c1 dining tEr Prince of Wales's visit to Canada. While at Prince Edward's Island acme of the crew of the Cossack deserted, but were after wards taken prisoners. A court-martial was held on these men at Halifax, on board her Majesty's ship Nile, on the Bth of last October, and the charges were found proved against them, but on the trial certain revelations were made a ga inst the captain by a man named Isaiah Smith, by which Captain Moorman was charged with cruelty and un oftkerlikebehaviour. During the court-martial at Halifax the ship was ordered away to Barbadoes, and in the meantime the men were tried. In consequence of the charges against the captain adduced at the Halifax court-martial the ship was ordered to England, and Captain Moorman, of the Cossack, wus tried by court-martial this morning, on board her Majesty's ship Victory, on the following charges :-1. That Captain Richard Moorman, of her Majesty's ship Cossack, did, on or about the 25th of April, 1880, behave in a cruel and oppres sive manner to Isaiah Smith, musician, of the said ship, in causing him to be lashed to the mixes stay of the Cossack, from about 9 o'clock a.m. until about 8 o'clock p.m., and to be afterwards placed both legs in bona 2. That Captain Moorman did, on or about the 13th of April, 18130, behave in an oppressive and ueofficerlike manner to Isaiah Smith, musician, of the Cossack, in causing him to go on the cap stan, and in ordering him there to play the violin after the said Isaiah Smith objected to do so, alleging that his posi tion there was dangerous, audio subsequently placing Smith in irons, and in keeping him on bread and water until the next morning. 3. That the said Captain Richard Moorman did, on or about the Ist of XI, 1860, behave in an utiofficerlike manner by using threatening lan guage towards Isaiah Smith, then dieted from musician to ordinary seaman, by telling him, on his applying for • court-martial, that if he asked for that again he would give him three dozen. _ . _ The court comprised Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, president ; Captains Hams (Britannia), Hewlett, C. it. (Ex cellent), Wilson ( St. Vincent), Coote (Victory), and Han cock (lniruortalite) ; with W. J. Hellyer, Eq., as deputy judge advocate, who also appeared as prosecutor. The Deputy Judge Advocate read the charges against Captain Moorman, and *variety of evidence was adduced for the prosecutioa. THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. The members of the London Scottich Regiment mustered on Saturday evening in great strength in West minster Hall, for the purpose of being officially inspected by their lieutenant-colonel, Lord Elcho, M.P., with a view of testing the efficiency of the corps after the six drills which the respective compimies have gone through since the last general muster in November. The Metropolitan Rifle Volunteers mustered iu the Work men's Institute, Euston- roack on Saturday evening, at 7 o'clock, and at half-past 7, preceded by its excellent brass and drum and life bands, marched out, proceedrog along Tottenham-court-road to Charing-cross, and thence to Westminster Hall, where they were dismissed for 10 minutes to oartake of refreshment. Having again formed into marching order they crossed over Westminster-bridge to Westminster-raid, and returned to hind-quarters by way of Waterloo-bridge. This corps has attained to a great degree of efficiency and is TOO strong. The cadets attached to the corps are respectable youths between the ages of 12 and 16, and number very nerrly 1.1)0. Lord Ekho Is the commandant. The 19th Middlesex (Working Men's College) Rifle Volunteers met at their head.quarters, Queen-square, for the first time since the Christina. holidays, on lessturday, and, headed by their cadet band, marched to their dril l ground, University College, Gower-street, where, after going through a variety of evolutions, they formed square on the leading company, and were addressed by their commander, Captain Hughes, who said he thought it now quite time they should elect their field-officers. After giving a brief account of Colonel Bathurst's experience in Canada sod in the Crimea, Captain Hughes proposed him ns a fit and proper person to be their lieutenant-colonel. It was also proposed that Captain Hughes should be major, and that Adjutant Reed (to whose energy the present highly efficient state of the corps is attributable) should have a captain's commission. The three names being put to the vote, were carried unani mously, amid vociferous cheering. Through the kind permission of Mr. aye, the 3rd (Sty of London Rifle Collo, which now has nearly 1,1;00 enrolled members, muster every Wednesday evening, at a quarter to 8 o'clock. in the Floral Hall, for drill, under Colonel Sir W. De bathe, Major Richards, and the adjutant. Tax COROM AT PLYMOUTH. —A collision has token slam between the magistrates of the borough of Ply mouth and the coroner, fir. John Edmonds, in communes°e of the proceedings connected with the Plymouth murder, who in consequence tendered his resignation on Saturday last. When the death was first reported to the coroner be gave instructions fur the apprehension of Hobert Hacked by the police, and the latter was then removed from the barracks to the Town-hall. The magistrates subsequently took the matter into their own hands, and declined to heed over the prisoner to the coroner, who haa intimated that in consequence of what bad taken place he had come to the resolution to resign his dike. ,10.1tD PALlfitigreirs.MD XL ecinTß, 11 . 1 % '.. • OP 1111 DWELLINosoir THE POOR. - • • ••'• ; 4.

L or d pALKERBTON, who was received with greet enthu siasm, in opening the proceedings said :—We are met here, gentlemen, at the suggestion of our worthy vicar, to take into consideration the state of the habitations of the poorer and labouring dames. The badmen of that condition has been long, especially in this town, the subject of remark. I don't know, however, that we are worse off in that revert than many other towns, but it is our duty to look to what exists her., and endeavour if passible to provide some alle viation or remedy for the evil. (Hear, hear.) Some years ago, when the cholera prevailed generally, a very distin. guished medical gentleman bappeeiod to bedewing at Brawl lands. At my topmast be arms • usedine/ Wiretaps dale tows, and drew up a report, of which a copy, I think, was given to the Mayor for the time being, and which is now in the possession of the authorities of the town. He stated that there was a great number of habitations which were not fit for the occupation of human beings ; that they were destitute of all those accommodations and conveniences re quisite for a decent dwelling house ; and that they were positively unhealthy, owing to the want of ventilation and the absence of a sufficient number of cubical feet of apace for each person who lived in them. 1 believe that that report was acted upon and that a great deal of good resulted. There was, I think, a committee appointed for the removal of nuisances who were very actively occupied, and who by their exertions removed in some degree the causes of illness which at that time prevailed; but of course nothing could be done because the functions of that com mittee did not include any measures for improving the habitations of the lower classes. Our worthy vicar, who devotes his mind most assiduously to the weVare of his parishioners, and who is not content simply with making provision for the spiritual welfare, but also directs hie atten tion to their temporal advantage, has been exceedingly soli citous that if possible ine.ns should be taken to improve the condition of these bad habitations, of which I trust, there are not a great many, though I believe there are still a considerable number. We are met here to-day, gentlemen, to take this important matter into serious consideration. I have no particular propose' to make myself, but there are others heir who I im - sure will euggirst some means whereby the evil may be alle viated. 1 therefore shall be glad, as you I hays no doubt will be, to bear their opinions as to the best means by which it may be possible to remove the evil, and provide a sufficient and adequate remedy. Having stated the object of the meeting, I leave it now for any person who baa matured in his own mind the consideration of this im portant subject to state what has occurred to him in the course of his reflections. (Cheers.) Mr. Cowers, M.P., having been called upon to make • few remarks said the way had already been trod den by many societies one of which is the Cottage Improvement Society at Hastings—that so- ciety has now been in operation for three r i e s a i. r ca e s s and • half. It has • pital of 12,0001., in s of 1001. each, and has obtained possession of 100 bosses. It has not built any, but has merely taken existing houses and improved them. The gross rents they have received have been about Ilj per cent. on the total outlay, and the net rental, after paying rates, taxes, and insurance, has been about 81 per cent. Tkey have paid every year since they started • dividend of 6 per cent., and have laid by a reserve fond amounting at the present moment to 200/. At Rodhill there is another society, which has been in operation for three years, and, in addition to an accumu lating fund, has paid its shareholders • dividend of 5 per cent. The society at Windsor has also paid a per tentage upon its operations. In London the society established an the Stood have directed their attention to the renovation of old houses rather than to the building of new ones, and they have realised a net profit of about 4{ per cent. The expe rience of these societies shows that it is not, as people fancy, a hopeless thing to get a fair interest for massy laid out is this manner. I may describe to you what the London society has done. At Tyodall's.buddings, near Holboru, they experieneedgreat difficulty in obtaining possession of the property. Before it came into their ponession Tyndall's-court was known as one of the worst nests of fever in the Holborn district, but such a change was produced by the improve meet which the society effected during the last year that there was not a single GAO of low fever there at all. Another point that I ought to direct your attention to is to provide lodging-Louses for eingle men. In ordinary cases it is found that a man living with a strange family takes up the room that is wanted fot others, and he is generally driven to the public.houee. There is one thing to be avoided in establishing these socie ties. (hie must be taken that the staff is not so large as to swallow up the profit. I think we can fairly establish the geed week without any great sacrifice, or without em barking in it any considerable amount of money. What we have to consider is not. merely • scheme of pure benevo lence and charity, but • proposal which, by an investment of our money, will give us a fair interest and enable us to effect • vast amount of good. (Cheers.) Mr. Dutton, M.P., the Rev. E. L.
