INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY, U.K. LECTURES and LAW CLASSES, 1869-70. LECTURES (6 to 7 p.m.) Three Courses of Lectures on Conveyancing and the Law of Real Property, Equity, and Common and Mercan tile Law, will be delivered in the Hall of the Society, in the months of November, December, January, February, March, April, May, and June next. LAW CLASSES (4.30 to 6 p.m.). In connexion with the Lectures, Classes will be con ducted under the guidance and superintendence of the Lecturers, and will proceed concurrently with the Lec tures. The number of subscribers to each class will be limited, and the instruction giv, n will be confined to an examination of the students upon the subject of a preced ing lecture, or on portions of a given book bearing on the same subject. A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruction and examination of the students. The teaching of the lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the memory by the classes; and the system of constant examination will test, from time to time, the progress made by the students. Lectures on Conveyancing and the Law of Real Property, by Howard Warburton Elphinstone, Esq., Barrister-at Law. The Course will consist of Nine Lectures :—Lecture 1, Introductory. The Theory of the Law of Real Property Treated Historically; 2,3, Purchase Deeds; 4,5, Mort gages ; 6,7, 8, Family and Marriage Settlements; 9, Com mercial Conveyancing. The Lectures (with the ocception of the first) will be rendered as practical as possible. Books, recommended for beginners :—Williams' Law of Real Property. Davidson's Concise Precedents. Black stone's Commentaries, Vol. H. for Advanced Students, Tudor's Leading Cases on Real Property and Convey ancing, Davidson's Precedents and Ir&ms in Convey ancing.

A year has consequently been entirely waste( in this matter of the Law Courts, or the Palace of ;ustice. The site, known as the Carey-street site, is till at this moment what it was then, a howling wilderness. It is a hideous eyesore in the very coreof the capital. Mr. AYRTON must bestir himself to mite good the blun ders perpetrated in this matter byhis immediate pre decessor. The site which alrekly belongs to the nation is the site upon which theprojected buildings will have to be erected. Until thy are raised, there, that site will continue to be whit it has certainly been for the last two years, a miserable spectacle of dilapidation. No more convenient site could possibly have been selected, bearing in mind the squares and streets and courtyards in London in which lawyers "most do congregate." Other pitiable regions of deso lation there are in the metropolis towards the clear - ing away of which as eyesores Mr. LATARD made not one single effort. There is that disgrace to London—Leicester-square. Will not Mr. ATRTON see what can be done, 'there, towards the re claiming of that waste land? Will he not put on a small army of labourers, with picks and shovels, planks and wheelbarrows, in lieu of the three men and a boy lately pottering away in the black ooze, and slime, and abominations of all kinds recently laid bare by the draining away of the water from the bed of the Serpentine? Will he not take some measures, at last, towards the re lieving the dead-lock perpetually occurring at the southern extremity of Park-lane, where it joins at right angles the great thoroughfare of Piccadilly ? Will he not make an effort at length for the clearing away of the hideous block of buildings jammed in between the two mid churches of the Strand—St. Clement Danes and St. Mary-le-Strand thereby at last razing to the ground, and utterly obliterating those haunts of abomination that have so long stunk in the nostrils of the public—the notorious byeway and byeword of Holly well-street ? In very serious truth and earnest, there is plenty of good work lying ready to hand to be done, if only he so pleases, by Mr. AYRTON as Chief Commissioner of Public Works. And the credit he may win for himself by its accom plishment will be all the more conspicuous by reason of the do-nothing regime, or the worse than do nothing regime of his immediate predecessor. THE proceedings at the Central Criminal Court just now are worthy of note. The present is a session of numerous and flagrant crimes, and it is also a ses sion of remarkably heavy sentences. No such severity has been shewn by judges of late years; in fact this gaol-delivery may be regarded as the beginning of our new system of criminal procedure. The policy of merciful treatment has been found wanting, and now the way of transgressors is being made truly hard. " JAMES WORTLEY, 28, agent," who has been convicted before, pleaded guilty, on Thursday, to forging two orders for the delivery of goods. His career of vice has ended with a sentence of fourteen years' penal servitude. A lad of 16, who had stolen a horse and cart, and had received sentence on a further occasion, was thought by Mr. Commissioner KERR to deserve seven years' imprisonment. Mr. Justice KEATING passed sentence of fifteen years' penal servitude upon a youth of 17 for extorting money under an infamous threat. A conspiracy to defraud by means of a sham Plate Glass Company was punished by two years' imprisonment — the heaviest visitation the law allows for such an offence. What do other commercial conspirators think of this ? A second conviction for obtaining goods under false pretences was visited with a fourteen years' penalty ; two watermen who had stolen a quantity of brandy were punished, one with fourteen years' penal servi tude, the other with five ; a robbery with violence met with a seven years' infliction, besides twenty-five lashes with the " cat; " a highway robbery of £5 involved a seven years' sentence upon two men ; tic. women, who had stolen some articbm aker, y punished, former offences beingwa tch proven r s en were ; and sim a watchmaker, who was found guilty of knowingly receiving stolen property, will have to labour hard for his country's good during the next eighteen months. To some persons this rigour will appear startling, and the weight of some of the punishments excessive ; but it must be remembered that the judges are acting only in ac cordance with the new principle of criminal treat ment. In passing the Habitual Criminals Act, the v Legislature decreed the end of the old system — simply punishing for the actual offence committed — and inaugurated a new method, by which criminals are to be dealt with according to their character as well as their crimes. Previous convictions will in future materially affect the severity of a sentence for a criminal offence. The object of Parliament is to provide a system by which regular offenders will be unsparingly dealt with and kept continually under the eye of the law. Whether the experiment will succeed or not remains to be tried; but there can be no doubt that the former mode has miserably failed. It actually encouraged crime, not merely by light punishments, but by furnishing various loopholes for the release of the prisoner whilst in gaol and subjecting him to no restraint whatever when set at liberty. DR. TEMPLE. The toilowing important letter has been sent by tno Dean of Exeter, Dr. Boyd, to the Dean of Ripon. Dr. 111'Neile "3ly dear 111`.Neile,--1 was not aware, when I received your note of the 25th, that it was your intention to give to it the publicity which I find, from perusing the Record, it has obtained. Had I been aware that such was your intention I should have replied to it, not as I have done by a private note to yourself, but as I now do, in a more public manner. I am happy to repeat my thanks for the cordiality of your note, as well as the sympathy under present responsibilities which it expresses. I should be guilty of dissimulation if I allowed you to think that my views as to the course which the Chapter of Exeter ought to take coincided with your own. Admitting to the fullest degree the force of some of the objections urged against Dr. Temple, and confessing only great regret that he did not years since disunite himself from apparent fellowship with the other writers of the "Essays and Reviews," I cannot permit myself to commit an act of (as it seems to me) disrespect to the Crown, and unfairness to an individual by promoting a refusal to elect him to the office to which his Sovereign has called him. It is one question whether, were this act of election spontaneous and uncontrolled, I should give my vote in his favour, and another whether in the confessed absence on his part of heretical teaching and sympathy with the sentiments of the other essayists, he should be pronounced by men professing to be true and just in all their dealings, ineligible. I regard myself as one reluctantly called with others to sit in judgment on his supposed and suspected guilt ; and I cannot without evidence, reaching to demonstration, condemn him. My late diocesan, keen in detecting error, and well inclined to strike him through the joints of his armour, could not, did not, feel himself justified in saying more than that his essay was open to very grave remark. "Prove to me that Dr. Temple is a heretic, that he has denied the faith, and avowed dissent from the .I.Arines of our Church, and my path is clear. No consideration, whether of respect for high authority, er of provoking obloquy, or of incurring penalties, would prevent my fulfilment of the duty of rejection ; but while I would in such a case dare to be inflexible, I have not courage enough to dare to be unjust.—l am, yours faith fully, " Oct. 27." "A. BOYD. The John Bull of to-day publishes an article disclaiming the charge that in opposing the appointment of Dr. Temple it has been influenced by any desire to promote the separation of Church and State. The John Bull does not oppose Dr. Temple because he is a Liberal, for it is only natural that a Minister should promote a political supporter—but because he has consorted with heretics. The same paper defends the appointment of a provisional committee, because there was no time to ascertain if those gentlemen, who were named, would accede to the use of their names. The refusal of the Low Church party to act with the High Church is a lamentable and damaging confession of division. The same paper con tains a letter from Mr. J. G. Talbot, M.P., supporting the opposition to the Bishop-designate of Exeter. Yesterday, at Rugby, Dr. Temple had an address pre sented to him by several gentlemen. They congratulated him in his new position, and expressed an opinion that he would carry with him " zeal, integrity, Christian liberality, enlightened toleration, and earnest piety." The reply was expressive of sorrow at leaving Rugby after twelve years' happy residence in it. " I can assure you it is with very great reluctance, and only from a feeling of duty, that I consented to leave here, and when at first the Prime Minister asked if I should be willing to accept a bishopric, I answered that, though I thought it to be my duty to accept it if it was offered to me, yet I should be glad to remain where I was while the energy was in me to do the work, and afterwards to retire to some quiet country living, in which I might pass the rest of my days. I said this because I felt it very warmly, and as a considerable interval elapsed before the offer was made I had hopes that Mr. Gladstone had reconsidered the whole matter, and I should remain here. But when the offer was made, I thought I was bound to go, though I was wanted elsewhere. I thought it was my duty to take the position to which I was called, both by the authorities of the State and by the number of people who seemed t' think I should be more useful there than here." Earl and Countess Russell and family have arrived at Paris. Archbishop Manning will take his departure for Rome on Friday next. The late terrible outbreak of cholera in India, l'he Lancet states, shows every indication of a speedy subsidence The latest accounts were very favourable. The Board of Trade, at Liverpool, have presented a telescope to Mati Ander:on, for saving the crow of the ship Americana in th© Atlantic hurricane, in September, last year. The Rajah of Sarawak was marred on Thursday to Miss do Windt, of Warneford- place, Sevenhampton, Wilts in IlighwortL Church. The Bishop of Sarawak performed the ceremony. The death is announced of Sir Thomas Finlay, %t, the age of 66. fie was knighted in 1837, when high sheriff of Cavan, by the Marquis of Normanby, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. It is rumoured that Sir John Simeon is to Le raised to the peerage. A vacancy will arise in the representation of the Isle of Wight should this prove true, and the on'y English Catholic who has a seat in the House of Commons will thus cease to belong to that assembly. The Mersey Dock Board, at their meeting on Thurs day, paid a tribute of respect to the late Earl of Derby, as a neighbour with whom they had had many transactions in connection with the extension of their estate, in which Lord Derby bad invariably treated them in the most honourable manner. The British Medical Journal is informed, on the best authority, that Lord Derby's last illness began with an ordinary attack of gout. The acute symptoms subsided, and his lordship appeared to be on the eve of convales cence, when a subacute form of muco-enterite supervened. At first there was restlessness, which soon passed into a state of semi coma, with inability to take food. In this state his lordship lay several dayF, and, without chance f nally sank, exhausted. THE FIRE AT NEWINGTON BUTTS.—The jury appointed to investigate the cause of the death of the persons who lost the r lives in the fire at Newington Butts, have returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased Lost their lives in a fire on October 10; and they are of opinion that such fire and loss of life wore purely acci dental ; and that the conduct of the fireman Watling was highly praiseworthy, a 3 well as the general conduct of th• police and fire-brigade engaged." THE ALLEGED AGRARIAN OUTRAGE IN IRELAND. —The attempt on Mr. Brett's life was not agrarian. He had a dispute with a road contractor, named Bourke, who met him on his return from an inspection. After some angry words with him in his house he went out. In a few minutes a pistol-shot was fired through the parlour win dow. Half a dozen pellets lodged in his side, ono broke his watch chain, another grazed his watch and lodged in the chair. He is not dangerously wounded. It is the second attempt on his life. THE LATE LORD DERRY.—The f. lowing resolu tion has been passed at a meeting of the council of the City of Louden Conservative Association:—" That the council of the City of London Conservative Association takes the earliest opportunity of recording its high appre ciation of the character of the illustrious s tatesman, the late Earl of Derby, and deep regret at the death of the noble patron who, throughout a long and brilliant career, served his sovereign and the nation with great ability and unselfishness, and it requests the president to forward copies of the resolution to the present Earl of Derby and the Countess of Derby, and to assure his lord ship and family of the sympathy of the association at the heavy loss which it has sustained." INFLUENCE OF BEING IN LOVE.—Every one knows how being in love changes for the time a man's spiritual atmosphere, and makes animation and buoyancy where before there was flatness and dulness. One may even say that this is the reason why being in love is so popular with the whole human race—because it relieves in so irresistible and delightful a manner the tedium or de pression of commonplace human life. And not only does it change the atmosphere of our spirits, making air, light, and movement where before was stagnation and gloom, but it also sensibly and powerfully increases our faculties of action. It is matter of the commonest remark how a timid man who is in love will chew courage, or an indolent man will ;hew diligence. Nay, a timid man who would be only the more paralysed in a moment of danger by being told that it is his bounden duty as a man to shew firmness, and that he must be ruined and disgraced for ever if he does not, will shew firmness quite easily from being in love. An indolent man who shrinks back from vigorous effort only the more because he is told and knows that it is a man's business to shew energy, and that it is shameful in him if he does not, will shew energy quite easily from being in love. This, I say, we learn from the analogy of the most every day experience ;—that a powerful attachment will give a man spirits and confidence which he could by no means call up or command of himself ; and that in this mood ho can do wonders which would not be possible to him with out St. Paul and Protestontism," by Maylqw Arnold. the !!

Address on the Origin and History of the English Law, by John Marshall Hayman, Esq., Barrister at-Law. Before the above Courses of Lectures are commenced an Address will be delivered by John Marshall Hayman, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, in the Hall of the Society, on " The Origin and History of the English Law." Mr. Hayman proposes to trace, so far as the limit of time will allow, the origin and history of some of the leading principles of the English law. He will invite attention chiefly to that element of our system which is derived from the law of the Roman Empire. It may be convenient to take at least one illustration from each of the main divisions of our law which are the subjects of the Courses of Lectures about to be com menced. The proposed illustrations are :- 1. The Derivation of our System of Equity from the Jus Prfetorium of Borne. 2. The Law of Contract, and particularly of Bailment. 3. Title by Prescription. Time will not allow of more than very brief reference to the other great element of our system, which is of na tive or feudal origin. The Address will be delivered on Monday, the Ist No vember next, at 5 o'clock; and, in addition to the mem bers of the Society, all clerks now serving under articles, whether subscribers to the Lectures and Classes or not, will be admitted gratuitously.

Mr. LAYARD'S career as Chief Commissioner of Public Works has not been a brilliant one. He has failed to leave any mark of his rule on the metropolis. He blundered more than once, and that very flagrantly. The Palace of Justice, thanks to his interference, has not yet been commenced. His fantastic notion of hiding it away in a hole and corner behind Howard-street, Strand, where it could only possibly have been seen by people taking boat for that express purpose, and viewing it from the river and over the Embankment, made of the already confused schemes, in regard to the projected Law Courts, a confusion worse con founded. Mr. LAYARD simply set the advocates of the Carey-street site and of the Embankment site (both of which he rejected) by the ears, without securing in any way the carrying out of his own pet project. By way of economising, the nation was to be put to an entirely new expense. A site had not only, in compliance with the suggestions of the Royal Commission, been purchased, but had been actually cleared. Between St. Clement Danes and Temple Bar, running northwards in the direction of Lincoln's- Inn-Fields, the hitherto densely peopled locality of Clement's-Inn and the surrounding neighbourhood had been transformed into a howling wilderness of bricks-and-mortar, and of lath-and-plaster. A huge space had been cleared for the express purpose of hav ing erected, there, in the very heart of London and exactly in the very midst of all the Inns of Court, Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn to the north, the Inner Temple and Middle Temple to the south—neverthe less all that had been thus done, with the approval and co-operation of Mr. LAYARD'S immediate prede cessors in the conduct of the Edileship of England, meaning the duties devolving upon the First Com missioner of Public Works, were to lbe summarily cancelled in order that a bran new idea of Mr. LAYARD'S own should be carried out instead. Never was there such a fiasco in the whole his tory of that particular department of our Ad ministration. It will long be held in con temptuous remembrance, as such for the simple rea son that, in the end, it had to be abandoned, this wonderful new project of Mr. LAYARD'S, quite as summarily as it had been originally projected. So THE EXCELSIOR MUSICAL SOCIETY. The first programme night of this very excellent musi cal society for the winter season took place last evening, at the George Hotel, Aldermanbury ; the President, Mr. J. Gillard, and an unusually largo number of members and visitors being present. The rapid progress towards high excellence which this society is making is very gra tifying, and no greater proof of this could be desired than the musical selections for the occasion. Through the great exertions of the president and the executive committee, the music now performed is of a vastly supe rior character to that originally given, and now, in place of the frivolous and unmeaning rubbish which at one time occupied a place in the programme, we have clas sical quartette, and clever original songs each executed in to manner which gives the highest promise of ultimate excellence. Amongst the best performed b pieces last evenin g was a n unaccompanied quartett, " Interger Vitte," by M essrs. Soliague, Cooper, Thornton, and Hillman. Mr. F ran k fassey sang a new song, " Lordly gallants," in which he was accompanied by the composer, Mr. W. Bendel], but the full effect of the com position was greatly interfered with by the indistinct pro nunciation of the words and the boisterous manner in which the score was rendered. This was particularly the case when the same gentleman sang "Tom Bowling," awl it is to be regretted that one possessed of so much musical knowledge should be so deficient in ta,te. Mr. H. Gillard sang Balfe's " Come into the Garden Maud," awl Reichardt's "Love's Request," iu the most finished manner, for which ho received the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Fr ,nklend gave a capital topical song, " In a quiet sort of way," with remarkably good effect; and the same compliment must be awarded Mr. Loy for his contribution to the evening's entertain. rueut. The other gentlemen whose names appeared in the programme must excuse us giving them a word or two of advice. They ought to recollect that the proper place for trying the strength of their lungs is not the concert room, and that the true test of ability is taste and execution, not the exhibition of unnecessary vocal power. In saying this, our desire is simply to remedy a fault, which, if persisted in, cannot but tend to stop improvement, and thus interfere with the onward progress of the society. As a whole, the first "programme night" was a great success, and was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by the entire com pany. THE YOBKSHII?E WOLD TUMULI, Although the weather has been of a wintry character quite unusual at this period of the year, and, in consequence extremely unfavourable to outdoor work on the welds, the Rev. Canon Greenwell, of Durham, has prosecuted his ex aminations of the British grave mounds remaining unopened on the North Wrolds, but has not quite succeeded in com pleting his researches, in consequence of the heavy snow fall. The discoveries have been of much interest. A barrow of apparently very large size upon the Sherburn Weld proved to bo a natural hill, which had been adopted as a burial mound, and apparently much added to by the Britons. The centre yielded nothing, the natural rock came to the top, and it is probable that the primary inter ment had been ploughed away. Even now the mound measures 901 t. by 74ft., and is north and south. At a point 18ft. from the supposed cen Eral point, in a direction W.S.W., and upon the natural surface, was an unburnt contracted body on the left side, with the head to the south-east. The right hand was bent at the wrist, over the hip. Be fore the face and chest and as far as the knees were the scattered remains of a burnt body, some of the bones being underneath the unburnt body. The two different modes of interment had evidently occurred at the same time. Tho other tumulus was on Canton Weld, and was bOft. in diameter, and only one foot high. In this, too, re duced by cultivation, the central interment had gone, otherwise the tumulus was prolific. At four teen feet E.S.E. from the centre an unburnt body was found lying on the right side, with the head to S.W. by S. The right hand was to the face, and the left on the knees, and the burial appeared to bo that of a man of GO years. There was a great deal of charcoal about the head. The body was laid on a deposit of black-coloured earth, 4in. thick, which contained pieces of pottery, flint chippings, and broken animals' bones, the burial having been made in a hollow sin. deep . A peculiar deposit of the black, ashy earth extended in a line 2ft. wide from the body to 7ft. west of it, and in the black were many animals' bones. At about sft. nearly west of the head was a separate deposit of the black earth, containing a large number of fragments of a peculiar black pottery and numerous animals' bones, all broken up. At 13ft. from the centre the the E.S.E. .was 'body on the right side, with the head to the south, the right hand up to the face, and the left on the knees. Before the face was an urn, ornamented by impressions of a pointed instrument. Beforo the chest wos a flint knife, carefully clipped on both edges. Overlying the thighs of the body were the leg bones of a much younger person, not more than about 12 years old. This upper body was on the left side, with the head of W.S.W. There was a great deposit of charcoal about these bodies, and numerous pieces of animals' bones mixed in it. At 20ft. N.W. of centre was the body of a man on the left side, with the head to the east and hands up to face. Under the hips was a well-formed broad flint knife, beautifully chipped over the surface with a round " scraper" and numerous flakes. There is but one other barrow to investigate. SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN A LUNATIC ASYLUM. The inquest on Santi Nistri, a pauper lunatic, at the Lunatic Asylum, Hanwell, before Dr. Diplock, one of the Coroners for Middlesex, has been concluded. From the facts elicited, it appears that the deceased, who was a tailor, thirty-eight years of age, was removed from the Westminster Union on the 11th of October to the asylum at Hanwell in a lunatic state, and that a few days after his admission he became worse and died. After his death it was found that his breast-bone was crushed in, and nine ribs were broken. No one knew anything of his having met with an accident, but, on inquiry, two other inmates of the asylum stated that they had seen him trip over a mat and fall against some iron railings. The Coroner, in summing up, said : It appears to me that what we have to do is to trace back the evidence from the time of the man's death to when the change took place. The man died on Thursday, the 21st, and, tracing it back wards, there seems little doubt that the injuries were inflicted on the Sunday. On that day, as well as on the Monday and the Tuesday, he was unable to get out or about. On Tuesday evening we hear that he was placed in an easy chair to be carried to the padded room. On Monday evening he had to be carried part of the way. On the Sunday Sutton says that he had a shivering fit. There is a difficulty in defining the date of the injury exactly; even the medical men who made the post mortem cannot tell you exactly the age of the injuries. Dr. Hawks says they might have been received four days previous to the death. That brings you to the Sunday. .As regards the bruise, he said it might be a few hours or four days old. That is indefinite; but the fact is, a deep bruise comes to the surface some time later than ono which is more superficial ; therefore, though the bruise did not show until Wednesday, it does not follow it was caused on the. Wednesday. Sutton tells you the patient used to walked in the yard with him, that he could not walk fast, and used to hold his arm, up to the Satur day, but not altos wards. On the Sunday, when being dressed, he resisted, and seemed to be suffering, for he put his hands to his chest, and seemed as if his chest caused him great pain. One of the other attendants speaks of the bruise on Wednesday, not as if it were a new bruise, but as if it had come out more. Dr. Hawks tells you that with such an injury it was not probable the man could live more than three or four days. That also brings you back to Sunday as the date of the injury. I was particular to ask Sutton as to the degree of restraint which was exercised on this patient in dressing him on Sunday morning, and he says that Pilo laid down by the side of him, and held his hands. If Pile had knelt down by the side of him, and the patient was resisting, scratching, and biting, Pile, instead of putting his hand to hold him down, might put his knee to hold him down. That is the reason I asked the position of Pile while holding him down. But you hear that he let go of the patient while he got up himself, and that then the two men raised him up on to his feet. I do not think, therefore, that there is any evidence that the injury was caused then; but you heard what was stated, and you must form your own opinion. The other point to consider is the fall against the railings and on the stone floor. I asked Dr. Hawks whether he thought it possible the bones were more brittle than ordinary; but he said they were in the ordinary condition, but somewhat unprotected from the man being so thin. He thought it was possible, but very improbable, that the injuries could I ,, ve been caused by the fall. The injuries seemed to have been caused on the Sunday morning, and the point is whether they were caused by the attendants dressing him. I inquiredparticu iarly as to that point, and my impression is that the evi dence does not bear it out, and that it is more likely it was caused by the fall. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict the effect that the death of the deceased had resulted, from the injuries received, but how they were received there was no evidence to shew ; but they believed them to have been caused after admission to the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum. The Queen sent a telegram from Balmoral to Eaton-square, in the course of Friday, inquiring as to tha health of Mr. Peabody. Her Majesty will leave for Windsor on Wednesday. Last week we were induced to state, upon what we believed to' be good authority, that ➢ir. Liddon had been offered the Bishopric of Exeter. We have now to contradict that statement in unqualified terms. On authority which we cannot doubt we learn that neither the Bishopric of Exeter nor any other preferment has ever been offered by the Premier to Mr. Liddon.—Churce Review. A FAMILY PITZZLE.—Apropos of the report that M. Lesseps and his son—who are referred to as "MM. X. pore et file "—are about to marry two sisters, the Rappel suggests the following complications as likely to arise from these double espousals :—To begin with, M.X., the the son, will be the brother in-law of his father, and his wife will become the sister-in-law of her own sister. If M. X. !senior has a son, and M. X. junior, a daughter, and they should marry, the daughter of X. junior, will become the sister-in-law of her father; and the son of X. senior will be the son-in-law of his brother and of his sister-in-law. If there should be a child of this second marriage, it will have two grandfathers, MM. X. senior and junior, whence it follows that X. senior will become the brother of his .wn son. Mote than that, if a boy, he will be the brother of his own mother, since he and his mother are alike grandchildren of X. senior; and as a mother's brother is an uncle, he will be in the anomalous position of being his own uncle. RAsrAiL.-31. Raspail, the red Republican of Paris, has, it is said, amassed a fortune of over £OO,OOO by the sale of a popular medicine. He is a hale and hearty man of 75, living like a perfect hermit in an old chAteau -:ew miles from Paris, surrounded by a park. He is almost inaccessible, and neither gives nor receives invitations. A member of the very opposite party, however, recently in-, varied his retreat, and was hospitably received. He came 'away much impressed with the beauty and luxury of the place, declaring that, whatever M. Raspail's political orofessions, the owner of such a retreat must is his heart be a conserrateur. M. Raspail was originally intended for the Church by a pious mother, who had dreams of her son wearing a mitre. He actually studied in an ecclesiastical seminary for several years. His own account of his severance from Mother Church Is, to say the least, characteristic.
