' L,.., ' ion of the Water Col , sU r Society has been open for several days. The pri ?ovate view of the Institute is on Saturday. Unfortun:l3:;ely the weather has been so dark that it is all but imp ot . sible to have any idea of the various works. The Brislsh Institute is temporarily defunct. Although . it had £15,000 in hand, it allowed the premises which it occupied to be sold over its head, and thus one of the opportunities which artists used to have of exhibiting in the winter has failed them. Mr. Sydney Hodges has been exhibiting his recent pictures at his studio, 29, Berner street. They include a very fine view of the Jungfrau, taken from the point where - the Staubbach Fall is a running brook, just before its leap over the mountain side. He has also a smaller work, "The Lake of Brien" Both are taken from sketches made in Switzerland this year. The portrait of the Prin cess Mary is waiting the will of the royal sitter for completion. Another portrait by the same artist i 3 that of Mr. Bridge, a surgeon who has been in pradice in Welling ton for about half a century. Still on art matters, I may mention that Mr. Scott's great Gothic structure in llyde Park is slowly approaching com:detion, and that the gLt cross and elaborate canopy just, beneath it are now clear of scaffolding. There is no doubt that the work will be very beautiful, but also quite unfit for such a smoke-laden atmosphere as ours. James 11. has been dethroned in Leicester-square, and that place is more of a waste howling wilderness than ever.

The attendance at the Agricultural Hall grows larger every year. There were more than 40,00) gazers on the fat beasts yesterday, and last night the phke was so crammed that movement from one part of the bailding to another was impossible. It would be well for , Londoners to take the opportunity of this visit from their country cousins to inquire how it is that with wheat so ruinously low, bread is still so ruinously high. The bakers must be the most prosperous men in England just now, though the Mark Lane Empress seems to pity them because they are making only 28 per cent. upon their capital. There will be no lack of entertainments this Christmas. Mr. Dickens recommences his readings next month, and the theatres are beginning to announce their pantomimes.

Such an event in ordinary times would have boded nothing less than a ministerial crisis. But this is not an ordinary time. Ministc rs have a very big job on hand, and it needs many confer(a es and much deliberation. It is understood that this job it progressing well, that the Laud Bill is no longer a mere shadowy simulacrum, but is actually in black I and white, at all events so far as it-; prin cipal clauses are concerned. Mr. Sullivan has, it is repc.rt• - xl, waived his claim to the vacant judgeship, in order to give the Government his valuable aid in I carrying the measure through the Lower House, where it will be introduced very early in the session. At present Parliament stands prarogucd to January 10th, and it is probable that the next prorogation will be for only about a fortnight, and tha t the two Houses will reassemble in the third week of January. It is possible, therefore, that the Land Bill may be brought in before the first month:of the year has expired. Easter is late next year, and does not fall till April 17. Ministers will therefore have about eleven weeks before the first recess, and they hope to carry the bill through the Lower House before Holy Week. There is the more reason why they should press this measure for ward. Ireland is just in the state that the longer the delay the more extravagant are the expectations of the people. The remarkable letter of a Meath magistrate in theDailyAretes of to-day shews how injurious delay will be, how important it is to settle once and for all the great problem of our time. If the settlement which Ministers propose does not pacify the people, if they spill make the insane demands which they are now making, then, justice having failed to satisfy, it will be necessary to resort to repression. It may easily be imagined that Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright have the strongest possible dislike to using repression before justice has been done, and hence it is that the idea of suspending the Habeas Corpus Act is for the present, I believe, not entertained. This matter was one of the leading topics of discussion at the most recent Cabinet Councils, and though Lord Spencer is believed to have been in favour of suspension, Mr. Chichester Fortescue is credited with the belief that the Government can do without it. Hence, while additional troops have been sent to Ireland, and the editors of the national press have been cautioned, there is no longer any talk of an ante-Chistmas session as there was last week. By the way, it is worthy of notice that neither Mr. For tescue nor Earl de Grey was present at the last Council. The absence of the first may be explained by the necessity of his presence in Ireland. The second was entertaining the Prince of Wales, who is shooting at Studley Royal, the seat of the Lord President of the Council. Another subject for Ministerial deliberation just now is the Education Bill. It is not, I believe, yet decided if it sliall be introduced next session. But Mr. Forster is known to have been preparing a draft. There is little doubt that the measure will not be on the sido of the denominationalists. The Scotch M.P.'s have all been denouncing denominational education; even Sir Stirling Maxwell, the leader of the Conservative party in Scotland, is not in favour of it. This fact shews how wide spread is the reaction against the system. Ten years ago a Scotch member would have been deemed an infidel if he had ventured to pronounce for secular education. The Denominationalists have received a severe disappointment in the action of the Wesleyans. When men as eminent as Dr. Rigg, Principal of the Training Institute and editor of the London Quarterly Review, joined the Manchester Union, there was great rejoicing; but now that Dr. Osborn, Mr. Arthur, the Messrs. Waddy, and other influential members of the same communion have repudiated the action of Dr. Rigg, there is proportionate discouragement. It is some compensation that Mr. Baines has pronounced against the League; but then the member for Leeds has always lagged behind the bulk of the Congregationalist body in the Edu cation question. The leadership of the Conservative party is still unde cided. The general feeling seems to be that Lord Derby will be the man, but whether immediately is somewhat doubtful. At present he is deeply immersed in domestic business, caused by his accession to a property of £190,000 a year. It is possible that for a time the Duke of Marlborough, who is a favourite with that sec tion of the party which attaches great impOr tance to religious matters, will assume the reins, but it is thought that ultimately. Lord Derby will take the foremost place. The fact that Lord Cairns's retirement was postponed until after the death of the late Earl indi cates that it was his (Lord Cairns's) wish, at all events, to be succeeded by the present End. Between Lord Cairns and Lord Salisbury there is little love lost. They were rivals last session, and are still rivals. The new house of the last-named peer is now nearly completed, and forms a con apicuouE object in Green Park. So Lord Claud Hamilton has got in at last. He has had his share of electioneering. Beaten at Londonderry a year ago, beaten at Brecon in April, he has won at King's Lynn. But it was a close fight, much closer than the borough has known for many a day, and a very large por tion of the electors polled. The Liberal party can scarcely be said to have lost much by the defeat of Mr. Young. He is not a gentleman to strengthen the party otherwise than by his vote. Within the last few days there has been much searching of heart among London Conservatives with respect to a new club. The Junior Carlton is crowded, so is the Con servative, and there is room for at least one more club. It was suggested that the new one should be called the Junior Conservative, and that the subscription should be low ,in order to meet the wants of men who cannot afford to pay the : present terms. It was at first decided that the entrance fee should be three guineas, and the subscription two guineas. Objection was made to this by the wire-pullers of the party. They stigmatised the new association with the irreverent name of " pot-house." Thereupon the terms were raised to eight guineas and four guineas. But, bearing little love to the originators of the affair, the wire-pullers brought out It rival club at lower prices ; and thus there are two schemes before the public, both of which are likely to fall through. In the course of time the Strand and Fleet-street will be wholly given up to the press and the stage. There have been some four new theatres in the Strand within the last twelve or eighteen months, and the number of new newspaper offices I will not venture to reckon. The Graphic has admirable quarters hard by the office of its rival, the Illustrated News, and close to both is the Tomahawk. The Morning Star office is occupied in part by the _Daily News as an advertisement office. But this is only a temporary arrange ment. There is little doubt that a new daily paper will be published after next May on the Star premises. A new boiler has just been placed in the building, and the City office is still retained. The publication of the Pall Mall Gazette as a morning paper at 2d. will bring that journal into competition with the Times, which may pos sibly then resolve upon a step that has long been contem plated—a reduction of price. There is talk of a Broad Church organ; and I see a new religious monthly an nounced under the title of the True Catholic. There is also to be another new illustrated paper called Pictures and News, a very poor title. I am glad to state that the quarrel among the committee of the Leigh Hunt memorial has been made np. A recon ciliation was not effected, however, until legal proceedings had been commenced. The committee have not oven now decided if Mr. Durham's claim for extra remuneration shall be allowed. The relatives of Leigh Hunt enter tain so strong an opinion with regard to it that they are resolved to refund any subscriptions which may have been sent in since the list was closed. There is lamentation in some of the Government offices because the amount of manual copying has jus ',been reduced by the introduction of Underwood's copying printers' ink. By the use of this material, sheets full of figures can be -multiplied at a very small cost. But, of course, this does not suit the gentlemen who had to shew their raison clVtre, and are now unable to do so. and its ally,the Metropolitan The Metropolitan Railway District Railway, have just made a reduction of fares. It was absolutely necessary for the latter company to do this, for the fares were so high that the omnibuses com pletely outrivalled them. The first-mentioned company is now running workmen's trains from Hammer - smith to Moorgate-street, a distance of about eight miles for 2d. I find that the insurance companies have, as was to be expected, felt in some measure the distrust which the failure of the Albert and other companies has caused. In some offices policy-holders have surrendered their policies, a course which is not without profit to the companies. While on this subject I may mention a very clever piece of strategy on the part of a well-known Scotch office, which has not been made known publicly. Some time ago, Government wished to issue annuities, and arranged to transact the business with the office referred to. Thereupon the manager sent to certain villages in the Highlands noted for the longevity of their inhabitants, and selected the necessary " lives" from these people. In this way the office made a capital bargain. Artists aro beginning to be on the abut. The Eshibi really remarkable exhibition of automata which perform the most extraordinary feats, birds who sing, soldiers who play, ducks who swim, babies who cry and talk, and all perform by machinery. There is to be a revolution in the London streets on New Year's Day. The cabs are to have the advantage of free trade. They are to charge what fares they please, but such fares are to be painted conspicuously on the doors. This will allow a better class of vehicles to ply than the wretched boxes on wheels we now have. There is a gathering of old Rugbeians to-night in order to agree upon some mode of marking their respect and love for their old master. The meeting takes place in Willis's Rooms. The book trade is reviving. No fewer than 17,000 copies of Tennyson's "Holy Grail " were subscribed for by the booksellers in one day. Since then the orders from the country have come in so fast that many thousands more will be required. This for a first edition is not bad. This new volume of the Laureate's will contain the completion of the " Idylls of the King," and have a note explaining the way in which the author would have the Idylls already published and the new work read, the whole being :he result of his long study of the Arthurian romance. I see that Mr. Morris announces a fifth edition of his " Earthly Paradise," a huge epic, which people talk about, but I fancy do not read. How many copies were there to an edition? One of the most interesting books of the sea- son will be Mr. Jeafferson's "Book about the Clergy .° This will be a companion volume to his "Book about Doctors" and "Book about Lawyers." The triad have been (with intervals of novel writing) the work of a dozen years. The new work will contain some most curious antiquarian information as to the uses which our churches were put to both before and after the Reformation. I mentioned several months ago that Sir Henry Bulwer was writing a life of Lord Palmerston. Sir Henry has finished the first volume, which is in the press. He h at work on the second, having taken up his abode temporarily in Mr. Mill's favourite town, Avignon. That gentleman is just publishing his " Chapters and Speeches on the Irish Land Question." Mr. M`Lagan's work on Ireland, I mentioned last week ; he has found a competitor in another M.P. Mr. Samuelson, who has visited the country during the recess, and has in the press a work on the land and tenantry of Ireland. The other principal new works are Christmas books, which are too numerous even to mention. I may state that Mr. Edward Wilber force is publishing a novel, " The Duke's Honour," and Mrs. Leslie Stephen (Miss Thackeray), is republishing the tales which she has contributed to the Cornhill. Scholars will rejoice to hear that Dr. Latham's Johnson's Dictionary is complete at last, THE LORD MAYOR ON RAILWAY TRAVELLING. At the Mansion douse on Wednesday, Charles Tucker was summoned by the South-Eastern Railway Company for travelling from New Cross to Cannon-street in a second class carriage with a third class ticket. Mr. Albert Lewis appeared for the company. Evidence having been given in support of the charge,' The Lord Mayor, addressing Mr. Lewis, said : Your bye laws are very stringent. If a man takes a third-class ticket and travels in a second class carriage you summon him. Now, reverse the matter, and suppose a gentleman takes a first-class ticket, and you have not carriages enough on your line to accommodate him, and he has to travel in a third-class carriage, do you give back the excess fare ? (Laughter,) Mr. Lewis : No, my lord; but that gentleman will have cause of action against the company. The Lord Mayor : Cause of action! See the injustice of your bye-laws. You bring this man here, and you ask me to fine him, but the companies are generally short of car ri~ges, and the first-class passengers have to tu rn i n t o an; ge c s' carriage they can get. That has been my experien;:e twice this week. A witness stated that the defendant could have got into a third-class carriage, as there was plenty of room. The Lord Mayor inflicted a fine of 2s. 61, and 2s. costs. THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY. On Wednesday morning two summonses came before Mr, Edward Bloxam, the Chief Clerk, in Vice-Chancellor James's Chambers. Messrs. Musgrove (Messrs. Lewis, Mums, and Co.) appeared for the official liquidator. The nature of the summonses was to put a contributory on the list, but this was objected to on the part of his solicitor, who stated that there had been a promise that the matter should be adjourned into Court. Mr. Bloxam said he was not sure of that, as he had not got the papers. Mr. Musgrove said that Mr. Lewis attended before the Vice-Chancellor, and that he took the papers away with him, but if the Chief Clerk would grant him the very shortest adjournment he would produce them. The matter was postponed till Friday. Mr. Musgrove said that the second summons was an application from a gentleman named Page, for leave to cross-examine the official liqui dator. This application was supported by affidavits and they were of such a character that he could not resist the application. There were also exhibits produced, and a statement as to fees, &c. He wished to ask the Chief Clerk, if he made this order for cross-examination on Monday next, to grant him an appointment as soon as possible afterwards. The Chief Clerk said that the exami nation of the official liquidator was unimportant, but that if he (Musgrove) agreed to it, he must give the order, and he would give him an appointment on Monday next also. the South S lren E sin H gto ladies' U n LEY ON HIS O WN W ORK. —A t lectures the other day, Pro fessor Huxley, who was lecturing on protoplasm, was asked by one of his fair students, "In what number of the Fortnightly Review did your article on Protoplasm appear?" Professor Huxley replied, "As the question has been put, I am bound to answer it. I think it was in the February number that the lecture appeared. At the same time, I must warn my querist that the article has been declared to be a frightful mass of infidelity and materialism. And I may add it has already been for the twenty-second, or perhaps for the twenty-fourth time— I do not remember the exact number—refuted. (Laughter.) Having thus given a warning, the lady must approach this very dangerous book on her own responsibility." Much amusement was created by the gravity with which the learned professor replied to this question. A novel point was raised before the Recorder at the Liverpool Sessions on Tuesday. A publican appealed against a conviction for selling liquor after twelve o'clock on Saturday. The police, it appeared, found persons drinking in the house at ten minutes after twelve o'clock accord ing to Greenwich time, but it was pointed out that the natural time at Liverpool was twelve minntes later than. Greenwich time. The Recorder was of opinion that the natural time of a place should be taken, and quashed the conviction. BREAKFAST.— EPPS'S COCOA.— GRATEFUL AND COM FORTING.—Tho very agreeable character of this prepara tion has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette remarks :—" The singular success which Mr. Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa hus never_ been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap plication of the fine properties of well. selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc tors' bills."
