The SPEAKER was in attendance at 12 o'clock, but did. not take the chair until 20 minutes past, as there were not sufficient members present to constitute a house. PERSIA AND INDIA. On the motion of Colonel SYKES certain returns relati ye to the Persian expedition and India were ordered to be le ad on the table. COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA AND. NEW ZEALAND. In reply to Mr. HENNESSY, Mr. LAING said he was not aware that there was ally intention on the part of the Government to apply for tem ders for the Australian postal service by way of Panama. There was a contract for that service by way of the Isthmus of Suez, which was the preferable route between this coun try and Australia. THE HIGH SHERIFF OF SURREY. Mr. B. COCHRANE said that, considering the high character of Mr. Evelyn, the High Sheriff of Surrey, and that he had acted under a misapprehension in the circula tion of the handbill which had incurred the displeasure of her Majesty's judges, the fine of £5OO imposed on him should be remitted. Sir G. LEWIS said he had no doubt of the high cha racterof Mr. Evelyn, the High Sheriff of Surrey, but if that gentleman wished to present a petition to her Majesty on the subject of his fine, he might do so through the Home- Office. He had seen the placard in question, and it cer tainly did appear to him a most objectionable circular, and he considered that the judges - were justified in taking a very serious notice of his conduct., On clause 14, Mr. HUBBARD moved to add, " And the scheme for the removal of any church or parsonage shall provide for the erection of another church or parsonage within the limits of the metropolis." The motion was agreed to. Mr. POTTS moved the following addition to the clause:—" That the sale of any church or site of any church proposed to be sold by the powers of this bill, may not take place within two years after the completion of the scheme for the drainage of the metropolis, and not then, unless it can be proved that the populations of the parishes in which such churches were situated have not increased, and the congregations attonding such churches have not numeri cally increased.' After soma discussion, the amendment was withdrawn. The house divided on the motion, that the clause do stand part of the bill— Ayes Noes Majority —l2 The clause was accordingiy agreed to, as well as clause 15. Clauses 16, 17, and 18, were aimed to. On clause 19, Mr. E. JAMES said that 13 of the parishes of the city of London which escaped the fire of 1666 were liable, under the statute of Henry Bth to the charge of 9d. in the pound. The parish of St. Martin Outwich, in the City of London, was now occupied by insurance offices and other large establish ments, and yet the rector made a charge of £250 a year for titles in one particular case, and stated. —as was the case—that under the act in ques tion he could claim £5OO a year. This clause re-enacted that all existing rights should be preserved and the conse quence was that tithes could be enforced when the churches where services was supposed to be performed might per haps be resumed to the suburbs of the metropolis. The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. Henry Fox as Consul at Plymouth for his Majesty the King of Hanover. The Queen has also been pleased to approve of Mr. John Frederick Capelle as Consul at Rangoon for the Free Han seatic City of Hamburgh. BOARD OF TRADE, WIIITEHALL, AUG. 21.

A SCENE AT THE PICCADILLY SALOON.—Mr. James Bodkin, address refused, Mr. Henry Bruce Ogilvy, 16, Bond-street, Captain Palms Spread Morgan, 55th Foot, 38, Jermyn-street, Mr. James Fortescue, 38, Jermyn-street, Mr. James Johnson, Mr. George Robinson, and Mr. Wm. Shaw, Bell Tavern, Barbican, were charged—Bodkin and Ogilvy with being drunk and creating a disturbance, Bod kin further charged with an assault on a constable, and the others with creating a disturbance in Piccadilly. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for Morgan, Bodkin, Fortescue, and Ogilvy, the last two named being officers in the army, it is stated. From the evidence of Charles Patch, 317 A, it appeared that at half-past two this morning he was called to the Piccadilly Saloon by the proprietor, in consequence of the whole of the defendants, who were inside, creating a dis turbance. Ogilvy and Bodkin were very drunk, the others not quite so much so, though they appeared to have been drinking. With the assistance of other constables he turned the defendants out into Piccadilly, and tried to disperse them, there being at the time a crowd of 2.0 persons, pro stitutes and others, present. Bodkin said he would not go for a policeman or any one else, and made a great noise. Finding he could not get them away, he, with other con stables, took them into custody, and on the way to the station Bodkin struck him a blow on the breast with great Si violence. Inspector Holden, of the C division, said there was a re• gular melee, and an immense crowd collected. Mr. Lewis said he believed they all went quietly to filo station. Inspector Holden said that was not the case. Mr. Lewis said the fact of seven persons being taken into custody by fire officers would necessarily create a dis turbance. Mr. Beadon said if gentlemen so far forgot themselves as to assault constables they must pay for it. He should fine Bodkin 405., or a month ; and all the others he should order to enter in their recognisances in the sum of £2O each to keep the peace for three months. THAMES. DARING ATTEMPT IT ROBBERY IN A WAREHOUSE. —Joseph Bruce, a man about 24 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being in a warehouse, with intent to commit a felony. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for Messrs. James Hartley and Co., the proprietors of the British, Foreign, and Dublin Steam Wharves, Lower East Smithfield. James Taylor, a labourer in the employ of Jas. Hartley and Co., said that at five o'clock in the afternoon he heard a noise at the side of the wharf among the teas. He turned round, looked about him, and saw the pri soner in the act of rising, as if from his knees, betweest the teas on the wharf. Another man, named Willis, who was on the alert, spoke to the prisoner, and said, " What are you doing there," and directly afterwards Willis showedihim a box of tea. It was produced by the witness, who said, in answer to the magistrate, that boxes of tea were not brought to the wharf in the state that was la. The box of tea had been tampered with. The prisoner got up from the place where he heard the noise, and he had no doubt his intentims was to steal tea from the box. William Willis, another labourer, in the employ of James Hartley, said the prisoner was not employed on the wharf, and had no business there whatever. Witness heard the crashing of wood and saw the prisoner on his knees by the side of the chest of tea. There was just room for a man to pass in the tea alley between the chests of tea. The pri soner made an excuse that he was looking for gunny bags. A gunny bag placed over the chest of tea produced was removed, and the top of it was split. The chest of tea was in a perfect state before the prisoner was found on the wharf. The pri soner made his escape to the next wharf, where he was detected, and was pursued and secured. The prisoner made no defence. g a robbery, and he Mr. Yardley had no doubt the prisoner went upon the h w a n d a f been with defeatedthe intentiondoing o co m b y h m the tt ei n vigilance of Messrs. Hartley and Co.'s man. He sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour.

In the town of Cupar, for example, on a recent market-day, three inn or hotel keepers each sold upwards of 110 dozen quart bottles of ale and porter, while the whisky consumed was fully one-third less than on previous market-days. In Alloa, though the present is not the best season of the year for ale brewing, most of the brewers are unusually busy, the high price charged for whisky evidently operating in favour of an increased demand for malt liquors. DEATH OF FLEXMORE, THE CLOWN.—The pan tomime-loving public will learn with regret that Mr. Richard Flexmore, the well-known clown, died on Monday night, of atrophy, or wasting away of the body, at his resi dence, Hercules-buildings, Lambeth, in the 38th year of his age. Mr. Flexmore was especially celebrated for his close and natural imitations, a la clown, of the leading Terpsi choreans of the day, such as Perrot, Carlotta Grisi, Tagh oni, Cerito, &c., and in those imitations none laughed heartier, or enjoyed them more, than the originals who happened to witness them. He married Mdlle. Auriol, and both himself and his wife, who survives him, became great favourites with the public. His jumping about the stage on the steps of ladders and tops of spades will long be remembered, and ho has had the honour of performing specially before almost every potentate and power in Europe. His public admirers will feel some consolatio n for their loss on learning that ho was equally respected in private life for his very genial and estimable character. THE SPURGEON TABERNACLE.—The disciples of Mr. Spurgeon had an exciting meeting yesterday, antici patory of the completion .of the new Tabernacle. The proceedings commenced with a prayer meeting at seven o'clock in the morning, and were continued by vari ous adjournments until darkness rendered it prudent for the assemblage to disperse. Prayers were offered up and addresses delivered by a number of Dissenting clergymen, who more or less sympathised with the popular preacher ; among others there were the Rev. Hugh Allen, the only minister of the Church of England present, Dr. Campbell, Rev. Jonathan George, and the Rev. Dr. Arthur. After the prayer meeting the congregation retired to breakfast, and returned to the public meeting, which was adjourned in order to enable the crowd to obtain some much-needed re freshments in the afternoon. The meeting was then re sumed at six o'clock, when, in the absence of Mr. Apsley Pellatt, the chair was taken by Mr. Spurgeon himself. With respect to the new Tabernacle, the cost of e rec ti on , i nc luding the purchase of land, will be about £30,000, and of this sum some £7,000 still remains to be collected. No person was admitted to the proceedings yesterday except u pon the payment of ss. or the production of a collecting card, showing that such an amount, at the least had been collected. 1i 2.11.10 16 2.14.6 7.4.0 FOREIGN Ml' 20 Australian 1 BonAccord Copper, Llm. 35 Brazil.

At the laying of the foundation stone of an industrial , ragged school and church at Kirkdale, near Liverpool, on Saturday, the Earl of Derby said—" I believe that in the his tory of the world no country already possessed of so large a population has increased with the same rapidity that this country has in the course of the last half century. This is the more remarkable, because that rapid increase which has gone on from day tl day —and I may say from hour to hour —is .the effect not only of the excess of births over deaths within the country, but of the excess of the births against the deaths and beyond the deaths—that constant stream of emigration which is constantly being poured forth from our redundant population to lay the foundation of future em pires, and to add to the population and to add to the wealth of our widely-extended colonies and of other friendly States. (Cheers.) Nor is there any more certain test than the rapid increase of population of the physical well .being of a coun try ; and those who can look back for the same lengthened period that I can, or even those who can look back for a much shorter period of years, must be well aware that, to - gether with that great increase in the numbers of our popu lation, there has been a corresponding increase in the physi cal comforts of the great body of the people. (Hear, hear.) I do not say—far from it—that there is not among the working-classes much undeserved suffering ; but this I do say, that, taking the middle and working classes as a whole, it is inconceivable, except to those who have actually wit nessed it, what a change has taken place in their condition, in their comforts, in their clothing, in their food, and in all the habits and conveniences of life within the course of the last 25 or 30 years. We have in this well-being of our country great cause for congratulation and thankfulness to Him who is the giver of all good. But if we turn from the physical well being of the population to their moral progress and their reli gious advancement, I doubt whether we have equal cause to congratulate ourselves in that point of view. The truth is, and the truth ought to be spoken—we are at this moment suffering from the supineness and from the apathy of our ancestors. Years ago the vast increase of the population was looked upon, no doubt, with triumph and with satisfac tion, as adding to the power and wealth of the country ; but it was looked upon without a due appreciation of the greatest moral and social and religious consequences which must flow from an increase of an ill-educated and irreligious population. I do not say that this has been the case univer- sally. I do not say that it has been the case in many of the country districts where a great increase of the population has not taken place, and where there is little room for the exercise of those kindly sympathies between the upper and lower classes which are the cherished bonds of union laetween the various classes in this country—(hear) ; but it is in the great towns, it is in those great hives of industry to which our redundant populations flock for employment, to the influx of population and the increase of buildings, with regard to which you have only to turn your eyes around you and survey what is going on in this neighbourhood, which has caused this population to increase beyond the possibility of the means of religious and moral superintend ence and instruction. In these great towns there is little room, comparatively speaking, for the social intercourse between high and low, rich and poor. The immense size of the parishes, and of the townships, and the immense numbers of the population bailie efforts of the most zealous ministers, whether belonging to the Established Church or to those numerous Dissenting sects of whom, widely as I differ from them, I wish to speak with all gratitude and all respect for their exertions in the cause of education and of religion. (Cheers.) But here a population, I say has grown up which has mocked at all our efforts, which has defeated all our endeavours, which has outgrown all our means, moral and pecuniary ; and, although it is quite true that the present generation is awaken ing to a painful and an active consciousness of this great evil, and of the necessity of ap plying a remedy, our difficulties in doing so are much the greater inasmuch as a longer time has elapsed, and we are not combatting. now the origin and the first seeds of a disease, but we are contending against a well established and systematic disease, which is gaining strength almost exceeding that which we can apply as a remedy to prevent it. It is true, again, that from these causes the vast population in our great towns, and in the suburbs of those great towns, is growing in a state of practical heathenism—l am afraid I must say, in the indulgence of the grossest sensuality, and of that intemperance which statesmen, judges, and magistrates all combine in stating to be the predominant cause which fills our gaols, and wastes us with a criminal population. (Cheers.) It is true that for the criminal population of this country a milder and wiser system of punishment is prevailing. We have learned to substitute a better discipline for those Bangui nary scenes which not fifty years ago loaded our scaffolds with criminals, and relieved the population at the expense of a vast number of unhappy criminals' lives. Some per sons, indeed, may believe that the present system runs in the opposite direction, and that this great indulgence is a portion of our criminal discipline ; but, be that as it may, the object which is uniformly held in view now with regard to the criminal population is not indiscriminating vengeance, but it is, if possible, the improvement and the reformation of the convict. (Applause.) But it is painful to say that, so far as adult criminals are concerned, so long as those remain who have been long practised in the habit of vice and crime, the best directed efforts and the wisest discipline are comparatively insufficient to restore them to a better state of mind ; and too few, comparatively speak ing, of those advanced in life who are subjected to this dis cipline are really, permanently, and in the heart brought to a true sense of their guilt, and to a sincere and earnest reformation. But with regard to the younger classes, those who are not hardened in crime, those who are seduced by bad example and encouraged by idleness and vicious habits to enter upon the paths of crime, a more hopeful course is opened, and a more cheerful prospect may be entertained for those invaluable institutions which, under the name of reformatories, combine the advantages of penal confinement with those of a moral and an industrial educa tion. (Cheers.) Again, for the poorest and absolutely desti tute class of the community the workhouse schools furnish no contemptible amount of education, of discipline, and of training. But there is a class of the population untainted with crime, above the condition of the absolutely destitute poor, yet below the scale of what may be called decent poverty, for which neither in criminal reformatories—for which they are not fit subjects—nor in the workhouse—to which they either are not admitted or are unwilling to enter —is any provision made, and who, except by the instrumen tality of that of which I am laying the first stone to-day, must grow up inevitably, from idleness to vice, and from vice probably to swell the lists of our criminal population. It is for that portion of the community—who, I repeat, are untainted by vise hitherto—it is for them that the hand of well-directed and well-devised charity has contrived these invaluable institutions—(hear, hear)—in which they will receive, in the strictest sense of the word, a true, a moral, and a religious education." (Cheers.) After alluding to the benefits conferred upon society by such institutions, his Lordship said— " The object of all fitting education is to suit the child and afterwards the man for fitly discharging his duty in the state of life to which it has pleased God to call him, and fit him to be a good and faithful subject here, a useful member of society, and so to live that, through the mercy of God, he shall enter upon a higher and holier state of existence hereafter. (Renewed applause.) Wisely, then, you do not in these schools attempt any very high flight of knowledge with any very great expanse of science. Wisely, most wisely, do you devote a very considerable portion of each day, not to the acquisition of mental knowledge, but to the acquisition of those habits of industry which are to form the future • means of subsistence of those whom you are bringing up. But it is not only that you promise for them future means of subsistence. Admitted into these schools—in which they need not blush for the rags in which they are I clothed, because they see that all are se alike—admitted into these schools, taught some industrial calling, and at the same time imbued with moral and religious teaching, these unhappy children become fresh beings, with fresh consciences, with fresh feelings, with a knowledge that they are far different and destined for far higher ends than ever entered into their comprehension before, and with an amount of self-respect and habits of useful and happy in dustry which will secure them, by the blessing of God, against all the temptations of those callings upon which they must enter when they quit the shelter of these institu tions. These, then, are the many objects of ragged—more properly and appropriately called ragged and industrial — schools for the youthful population in our great towns. T need hardly say it is an object that commends itself to the deepest interest of ministers of religion, and to all those who have at heart the well-being of their fellow-creatures. But this institution proposes to go much further. I have stated, and I am afraid it is a lamentable fact, that of those deeply involved in crime a small portion only are brought back to habits of industry and of religion. But God forbid that I should say that there is not a vast proportion of the lower classes of the population, who have hitherto been wholly in different to or alienated from religious things, upon whom time, opportunity, and example may not perform wonders in bringing them up to that flock from which in ignorance they have been wandering, and causing them to form part of that one flock, in that one fold, under that one shepherd of the rich and poor alike." (Applause) After alluding to the accommodation in the school, his lordship continued:— "It is intended to combine with the education of the children the religious and moral training of the parents, and bring together a large portion of the population into a church free and open to every one, without money and without price. (Cheers.) Now; it is a remark which has often been made, and it is one of painful significance, that even among the respectable portion of the working classes, of the mechanics of this great country, there is a very largo proportion who, from various causes, never enter the house of God—a very large proportion who never know any thing of the truths and of the comforts of religion. Various causes, no doubt, there are for this, which is a most lamentable symptom of our condition —this total . ab sence of a large portion of the pop ulation from the service of God, either according to the principles of the Established Church or of any dissenting body; but I believe that, apart from hostility to religion, apart from what is more common still, absolute indifference and ignorance, there are two pre. vailing causes which tend to drive front our churches even the best disposed and most respectable portion of, I will not say our pauper, but of the poorest of our population. The one is in the appropriation of the greater portion of the seats iu our churches, and elm all the best seats, to the richer and easier classes of seciety—(hear, hear, and cheers)—#.o the exclusion of the poor man, or to his relegation into the most inconvenient, distant, and inadequate seats. (Renewed cheers.) Now this, lam afraid, is an evil inherent in hu man nature, and an evil of such antiquity that it formed a ground for a rebuke and a reproof upon the part of the Apostles themselves; for St. James himself distinctly points to this ungracious distinction in the earliest Christian churches between rich alai poor, and notices it as a fact for condemnation and amendment. The other cause is, 1 be lieve, an honest shame of parading the wretched garments in which the poorer classes are clad in immediate contiguity with the better and richer garments of the wealthier and more easy-to-do portion of the parish. Ido not say that this is a feeling which is to be altogether vindicated, but it is a feeling which is not unnatural, and a feeling for which we should make every indulgence and allowance. Nor do I say, again, that I condemn as absolutely and entirely as some persons are disposed to do the appropriation of parti cular seats, provided a sufficient amount are set apart for those who are not enabled to obtain spiritual accommoda tion ; on the contrary, I believe it tends to the solemnity, regularity, and order of parochial worship. I am sure it tends very much to the influence of the best fe.lings when father, mother, and children can enter the house of God with a knowledge that there is a seat to which they may go with a certainty of being together and united, to offer up their prayers and praises, and hear the Word of God. (Hear.) But I am far from condemning the appropriation of certain seats to those who are able and willing to incr6ase the means of the Church by paying for the accommodation, provided it is not granted to the exclusion of those who have no such means of paying for the accommodation, and who are equal by the law of the land, and who by the con sittution of the Church have an absolute equal right with the richest of the rich to enter and worship God in the parish church, which is not for the rich alone, but for every parishioner, rich and poor. (Cheers.) Well, then, but in this case we have to deal, not with a mixed population, but with a population all of whom are of the poorest class, few of whom can afford anything, and none of whom can afford any considerable sum for separate accommodation for them selves. We are providing the means of religious worship for those who are clad in rags, and who will not be shocked by the comparison of the silks and satins of their richer neighbours ; and in this case I say it is most important, not that there should be some free seats, but that every seat in this church school which is about to be built should be free and equal, without payment of money or price, and that no amount of poverty of clothing or squalid destitution should be sufficient to exclude the very poorest of the poor who are willing to enter and wor ship from His house in whose eyes rich and poor are alike, and the distinction of rank and title are as nothing. (Loud applause.) This, then, is the object for which we have met to-day. I believe the Christian liberality of the people of this neighbourhood, who can well afford it, will not suffer this great work to fail for want of funds. Every motive which can actuate men conspires to recommend the support and countenance of this undertaking ; the peace of the dis trict, the good order, the sobriety, the cleanliness, the tem perance—let me take the meanest and the lowest motive, the diminution of the burdens which are entailed upon a parish by the augmentation of its criminal population; but from those let me go to higher motives—vic., the duty which you owe to your Christian fellow-creatures, or to those who, if not your Christian fellow-creatures, it is your highest object and aim to make your Christian fellow-crea tures. So perform your duty to that God who, as He would not that a sparrow should fall to the ground without His knowledge, would not that one of those little ones should perish." (Cheers.) Lord Derby then formally laid the stone, and after ad dresses from Canon Stowell, the Mayor of Liverpool, and Mr. W. Brown, ex-M.P. for South Lancashire, the pro ceedings terminated. THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S PARK, EDINBURGH. Notwithstanding the exertions of the police and the county criminal authorities, it is believed that very little transpired on Monday to clear up the mystery which overhangs the dreadful tragedy . of Sunday morning. A number of persons, includ ing five or six soldiers from Piershill, were exa mined by the Procurator• Fiscal during the forenoon, principally with a view to throw light upon the in tercourse had by the deceased girl with the soldiers in whose company she was seen on Saturday even : . ing, and especially with the prisoner Tanner. These preliminary examinations are, however, in accord ance with the usual custom in criminal cases in Scot land, conducted with the utmost privacy. Early in the forenoon a story got into circulation to the effect that at the time Tanner and Quin were ap prehended in Campbell's-close on Sunday afternoon, two other soldiers of the same regiment were sit ting in an adjoining house in the same close ; and that, on hearing of the apprehension which had taken place, they got themselves dressed in civi lians' clothing, hurriedly left the house, got into a cab, and drove off. The police immediately set about sifting the story, and proceeded to search the house in question ; but the result of their investi gation and inquiries was to satisfy them that the two suspected men were cabdrivers, who welt out about the time stated to their cabs. About two o'clock a boy residing in the Canon gate was playing in the enclosed piece of ground between the Abbey-hill and Regent-road, in which the old stones of Trinity College Church are placed. While running about he came upon a girl's shift, a little cotton printed bed-gown, and a white worsted stocking, apparently thrust in among the loose stones and debris towards the east end of the park. The boy took them home, but they were soon afterwards bro'ight by his parents to the police office. There are two slight stains of blood on the shift, but none on the other articles. In the course of the afternoon the whole of the articles were identified by the members of Mr. Slater's household as having belonged to the deceased, and it is pro bable that they formed part of the contents of the bundle which the girl carried with her from the house. From some statement made, it is believed, by the by the prisoner Tanner, during the day, a request was sent to the castle to ascertain all the men of the 78th who had been out during Saturday night on leave, and to order their attendance at the Pro curator-Fiscal's office. The request was complied with, and between five and half-past eight o'clock on Monday night upwards of 20 of these men were examined. Tanner, who was shown to all the wit nesses, bore himself in a very cool and unconcerned manner. He is a tall, slight made young man, barely 20 years of age, and would scarcely from his appearance be taken for a person likely to commit the brutal crime laid to his charge. He states that he is a native of Paisley, but speaks with English accent. No evidence of any kind has, it is believed, been obtained against Quin ; and he has accordingly been handed over to his military superiors at Piers hill, where he has been placed under arrest on the charge of absenting himself from the barracks with out leave. No trace has yet been discovered of the " corporal" whom some of the witnesses thought they had seen in company with the girl on Satur day night or Sunday morning ; nor of the two ab sentees still missing from Piershill. It was considered advisable not to proceed with the post-mortem examination on Monday, as had been directed, in order to give a further opportu nity to witnesses to identify the body—not as that of Elizabeth Slater, regarding which there is no doubt—but as that of the girl seen in company with the soldiers in the Queen's-park and else where on Saturday night. The medical exami nation was, however, to be made yesterday. It is considered a curious circumstance that no one heard the girl cry out during the struggle which it is believed must have taken place in the Queen's-park before her death. The watchman employed to guard the tank in the course of erec tion on the face of the hill, directly opposite the trees, neither, it is said, saw nor heard anything to attract his attention. SPIRIT-STIRRING SCENE AT THE ACADEMY OF Music.—Last evening Professor Anderson chanced to have very many spiritualists present, some of whom subjected him to a series of categorical interrogations relative to his belief in spiritualism, and what are the mystic influences which act upon his table. Usually the table and bell of the Professor are the only rappers in the room, but last night the Wizard's spirits were more numerous and more exuberant than usual. Spirits rapped under the seat in the parquet, on the seats in the dress circle, against th e columns of the family circle, under where people sat and over where people were sitting. Some political quir i d u , present, anxiously desirous for knowledge, and ilicli " spirits" s c r o d replied o p e re: throw a telescopic glance far into the political VII " redict quested to know if the Professor's could best who would be the next President.
