(Laughter and hear, hear.) Whilst the standard of education bad been thus raised, it was impossible not to see that a great stimulus had been given to its exten sion and to those who were engaged in the work of learning. He believed that both masters and scho ars had been much benefited by these examina- The stimulus given by these examinations was not the most useful part of the system. It was most important that there should be a direct ness of action given to studies which might otherwise be vague and desultory. Desultory reading was only indulging in an idle pastime, which might make per sons knowing without making them wise. (Hear, hear.) They ought to read with a certain degree of accuracy, and it was an important part of these examinations to give a directness to their studies and render the course of reading useful. They must not only swallow but digest in literary matters as well as others- if they would study to any good pur pose. (Cheers.) Dr. Arnold, in a letter to Sir John Coleridge, speaking of a reader, says :—" He wants the examination not only to interest and excite him, but to dispel what is very apt to grew around a lonely reader not constantly questioned—a haze of indistinctness as to a consciousness of his own know ledge or ignorance ; he takes a vague impression for a definite one; an imperfect notion for one that is full and complete, and in this way he is continually deceiving himself." That opinion of Dr. Arnold's would be re-echoed by every ono who had been en gaged in the work of education. (Hear, hear.) Ou looking over the account of the examinations, lie was sorry to notice one thing with regard to the town of Southampton, and that was that the knowledge of history appeared to be defective. Now it was very important that great attention should be paid to that subject. This was a town where it would not do to be careless with such a matter. When more power was being given to the great body of the people, if they were not versed in history they would not be fit to perform the duties which devolved upon them as citizens of this country. It was impossible to overrate the importance of paying attention to that subject, of becoming well versed in the history of their own country, in the history of ancient and of modern countries, in - order to be able to form clear and definite views of the policy to which they ought to give their support in future times. (Hear.) There was another point to which he wished to direct the attention of the inhabitants of Southampton, and that was, that the examinations were confined to the male sex only. In the Cambridge report it was stated that there was no difficulty in carrying on female examinations where there was a good ladies' committee ; and from his own knowledge of what took place in Loudon he could bear testi mony to that fact. (Cheers.) Dr. Arnold pointed out the disadvantages under which girls were labour ing for the want of those examinations, and he con sidered it most desirable that some remedy should be applied to that state of things. (Hear.) In one instance, where an examination took place in arith metic, 90 per cent. were unsuccessful in the first year, but in the next examination only three failed. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps he might be permitted in the name of the assembly to congratulate his young friends who had been successful in the competition in which they had been engaged. (Cheers.) But in the moment of triumph he wished to give them one single warning, and that was, not to rest on the triumphs of to-day--not to mistake the means for the end—but to consider that they had given a pledge to the community, and that it would be their own fault if they did not exercise. it. (Hear.) The object of their obtaining knowledge was not merely the possession of the knowledge itself, but the acquiring wisdom. On this point he would call the attention of his young friends to the appropriate and excellent remarks of Sir Joshua Reynolds :—" Have no de pendence on your own genius. If you have great talents, industry will improve them. If you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply the defi ciency. Nothing is denied to well-directed labour. Nothing is to be obtained without." (Hear.) To his young friends who had not been successful he would say, be not discouraged ; if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply the deficiency. With renewed exertion they might hope for success on a future occasion, and he wished to remind them that that great artist Turner attributed all his success to hard work. (Cheers.) Much might be said on this subject, but he would conclude by saying to each and all N°. 23,221. %lUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION 4 ( Incorporated by Act of l'arliam.tat, 18 5 0).

If iron workers earn higher wages than almost any other class of operatives, it is mainly due to the continual expansion of the iron trade, and the ever-increasing , demand for labour. Let this expansion be effec tually checked, and this demand reduced by the suicidal tactics of the trades' union, and no decree of the national executive will avail or ward off or remedy the misery that must ensue.

When he ad dressed himself to the subject as a member of one of the old universities, it was his exceeding satisfac tion that the universities had struck out this new course of usefulness for themselves.

It was impossible for any one who had received the benefit of a university education, and had there spent some of the happiest hours of his life, not to take the deepest interest in all that related to their reputation and glory ; and he must congratulate himself on seeing that they had pursued a course by which their usefulness would be extended and diffused. (Hear, hear.) That these universities had done a good work for this England of ours in former times he could not entertain a doubt, ° GUNM AK ERS and Others.

But it was impossible to shut our eyes to the fact that the number of university students were no•w very small when compared with the number to whom it was desirable to extend the benefits of the best education ; and when we contrasted former times with the present, and recollected the immense increase which had taken place both in the popula iniTbe fol nlowon- ing repeatin are the Rifles conditions considered essential in g l tary : A.

CALIBRE. Optional. L . THE TWIST AND FORM OF GROOVE. Optional. Optional endowments, confined to the richer classes of the community. Well indeed did these endowments do their work in many cases by giving a noble educa tion to many who could not otherwise have obtained it. To show a remarkable instance of the benefits thus conferred, he might mention that a short time ago he heard a gentleman who had acquired high distinction in the profession to which he had the honour to belong state that he was the son of a country clergyman with no large means, who could not-afford to give his son the full benefit of a uni versity education, but who said to him—" I can provide for you for one year, and I expect you at the end of that year to do a good deal for yourself." The son went to Oxford, and during the first year distinguished himself considerably, obtaining scho larships and such other assistance that he was after wards able to find means to complete his own edu cation. (Cheers.) That gentleman told him that afterwards—and he now mentioned this circum stance to his young friends to show them it was im possible to know what might be the result of a single piece of industry—that gentleman told him that on being called to the bar he had no important connec tions, and did not know how he was to get on. Soon after his call there was a great suit pending in Chan cery in which one of the colleges was concerned. The solicitor called on the head of that college and in quired if there was any particular person whom he wished to be engaged in the suit. The head of the college said he did not know any one, but observed that a gentleman who had recently been called had made a translation with which he had been very much struck, and he should like him to have a brief. The brief was given, and the young lawyer so distin guished himself in the suit that he was never after wards at a loss for a brief. (Cheers.) He had men tioned this circumstance for the purpose of showing his young friends that there was no one good work, no one decided proof of industry and talenton which future fruits might not hang. (Hear.) Another change had occurred which rendered it more difficult for many persons to obtain a university education, and that was the change in the age at which young men were sent up. In the instance to which he had referred his friend went up at the age of 15, and at 19 took his degree. It was not an uncommon thing, some time back, for boys to go up at 14. But now the age of 19 was much more common. In the uni versal race for wealth and position young men thought they could not start too early. Whether it might not be better to start a little later in years he would not pretend to say, but the fact w as that were the great mass of those who started early i n life unable to have recourse to the universities ; a. they would be idlefor lads of 14, however in telligent, • h those he ho might be, to engage in a struggle wit_ear, hear.) were four or five years their seniors.

The mode of solving the ughout t two dif ficulty was as old as the days of Mahoinet. If the mountain could not go to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain. If young people were unable to go to-the universities, it was well for the univer sities to go to them, and this was what had been done by the institution of these local examinations. (Hear, hear.) If they could not give these young people the ',benefit of a university education, they could send examiners to ascertain the amount of their knowledge, and, what was equally important, the amount of their ignorance. They sent exa miners into the great towns where large numbers of youths were gathered together, and were able to fix and to raise the standard of education, and by means of certificates and prizes to afford a stimulus " Pitch thy behaviour low, thy projects high ; So shalt thou humble and magnanimous be. Sink not in spirit. Who aimetli at the sky Shoots higher much than he that means a tree. A grain of glory mixed with humbleness Cures both a fever and letharginess." The right hon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud and prolonged cheering. Votes of thanks were then given to the examiners of Oxford and Cambridge, to the committee of management, and to the chairman.

Scotland, with a population not equal to that of London and its suburbs, has fifteen judges ; Ireland, with far less wealth and commercial activity than Scotland, and with a population which we are always told, except ing the amiable weakness of shooting landlords and a treasonable conspiracy every five or six years, is singularly free from crime, has twelve judges, be sides -a due complement of equity courts, and it surely is not surprising that England, with-a popu lation twice as large as that of Ireland and Scot- land put together, should require three more judges than Scotland and six more than Ireland. This is no matter of theory ; the want has been grievously felt for many years, both by suitors and judges. The labor imposed upon this high class of public servants has been far too severe, and the efficiency of the Bench and dignity of the administration of justice have suffered grievously in consequence. Who has not witnessed with indignation and regret, even if entirely disinterested, and with even stronger feel ings if a party concerned, the absolute denial of justice that takes place at the end of every crowded assize ? The whole expense of a trial has been in curred, witnesses brought from a distance, briefs delivered, endless anxiety undergone, and at last the day arrives which will at any rate decide, whether rightly or wrongly, the matter in dispute. The cause is called on, a cause, perhaps, involving character or considerations of which little can be learnt from the pleadings. The Judge leans forward and blandly intimates to the counsel on each side that the case appears to him peculiarly well suited for arbitration, or, if that proposal be not accepted, that it must be made a remanet. Remonstrance is in vain-; there really is not time to try the cause, and so the parties are compelled either to put off their litigation for six mouths, incurring just the same fees, just the same expense, and just the same anxiety over again, or to go before an arbitrator, where a case that might have been decided in a few hours will often drag on its length for days, or even for weeks. There is no position in which a judge appears to less advantage than when driving un willing parties to submit to arbitration. And yet it is not his fault, but the fault of a country which, while it professes to bring justice to every man's door, is too niggardly to provide a sufficient number of Judges to do the work that devolves upon them. The expenditure in salaries occasioned by this ad dition will be just £15,000 a year—a small price to pay out of our revenue for the despatch of causes and the removal of a true and crying reproach on the administration of justice. We may also hope now to get rid of the unseemly spectacle of a judge wanted in half-a-dozen placed at once,—wanted at Nisi Prius, wanted in the Exchequer Chamber, wanted in Chambers, wanted in the Criminal Court of Appeal, wanted at the Old Bailey, wanted in the House of Lords, —and that these great magistrates may be permitted to settle down to their day's work free from those violent interruptions and un expected episodes which would disturb the balance of less clear and practised intellects. We also learn with pleasure that this needful strengthening of the judicial body is to be attended with a corresponding extension of the circuits. A slight alteration was made a few years ago, but it is really astonishing how long we have gone on with a system so mani festly obsolete and old-fashioned. It is said that opening a new post-office leads almost invariably to a great increase of correspondence. Such has been the effect of establishing Assize Courts at Man chester and at Leeds. No one can know until the experiment is made how much the fair trial of rights and the prosecution of offences is impeded by the present utterly inadequate system. A separate circuit for Lancashire, a nother, we should have thought, for the West Riding of Yorkshire, an assize at Birmingham, at Sheffield, perhaps at Wake field, would be immense practical improvements in the administration of justice. The whole matter is, as we have often pointed out, a crying scandal—an abuse which a Liberal Government should not have left for a Conservative Government to redress. The change in the number of judges can, of course, only be effected by Act of Parliament, but it is not too early even now to express a hope that in the distri bution of the patronage which must arise the claims of non-political lawyers will not be overlooked, and that this great improvement iu ,he administration of justice will be accominpanied with some considera tion for the men whose attention has been wholly and exclusively directed to law as a profession. The Daily News points out that it is quite evi dent that the American public do not at all under stand the actual position of the question of inter national copyright. In replying to our argument on the injustice of the present state of the law, the 'Veto York Times thinks " tu quoque " to be con clusive and sufficient. Our contemporary admits the injustice of the present scate of things, but thinks it enough to reply that the injustice which British law inflicts on American authors is as great as that which American law inflicts on British authors. But such a reply only strengthens our position in stead of weakening it, for the defect in the law is not on our side, but upon theirs. Our law gives the Americans the power of protecting their authors if they will avail themselves of it by protecting ours. The Crampton-Everett Treaty of 1854 was fully approved on this side, but was rejected by Congress, and any Government on this side has the power and the will to settle the matter on the basis of reciprocal protection and equal justice whenever the Federal Government will enter on the negotiation. The injustice which is done to American authors in this country is entirely the fault of American law. The literary men of the United States do not need to be reminded of the true state of our copyright relations. But it is evident that one of the first things that they have to do is to instruct public opinion on the subject. When the American people fully appre ciate the facts of the case, then justice will be done; for the Daily News believes that a nation that has so nobly striven for justice to the newly emancipated slave can never be content to appropriate the labour of the literary class of a kindred people without ac knowledgment or reward, or to subject their own literary men to the reaction of such injustice. The Economist holds that the only basis on which our Government can propose to admit the Alabama claims, and recognise our liability in respect of them, is one which would give some tangible safety for the future, and cannot see any such except the adoption of the principle proposed at the Paris Con gress and unfortunately rejected, that all private property at sea should be respected and not liable to seizure, except under the law of contraband or the attempt to break a blockade. Were such a principle generally admitted, it is evident that the use of such vessels as the Alabama would be at an end ; and though it does not follow that new and revolutionary Powers would necessarily accept a principle so embarrassing to them, yet the gradual adhesion to it of the greater naval Powers could not but exercise a great pressure even upon the new candidates for independence, —the more so as such cruises as those of the Alabama and Shenandoah really do nothing at all to shake the power of any nation, though they produce an immense amount of discomfort and private calamity. It may be that in addition to this the Americans will wish us to strengthen our Foreign Enlistment Act in order to prevent a recur rence of the Alabama proceedings in the case of any Power that may decline to recognise the new rule. There does not seem much reasonable chance of passing any Foreign Enlistment Act so strong that a little craft could not dodge it. But there can be no harm, if the TJnited i States wish it,'in adopting any additional precautions they like to propose. But for effectual remedy only one course is open—the rule of respecting private property at sea. If this great concession to the neutral Powers be made, we can well afford to pay with a good grace for depre dations for which most probably we were not legally responsible, but which, by the exercise of a little more care and providence, we could certainly have prevented. Referring to the " strikes" in the iron trade, the Times points out a consideration which seems to have been almost overlooked by leaders of trades' unions, but which deserves their most careful attention. At this moment orders are being executed for English firms in Belgium and Prussia, and the inevitable result of these repeated strikes will be to drive more and more of English capital abroad. Whether the rate of wages be ultimately determined by the cost of living, according to the lowest standard of comfort and decency for the time being, or whethe it depend on the distribution of a wages-fund,r limited in amount, no wages at all will or can willb t i e paid if there is no one to pay them ; and there es be no one to pay them if the po lic y of s eliis pushed beyond a certain point. Free trade,which has done so much for the workman, bas done some thingn for the capitalist, an d so m have been opened out in our coloniesay investments and abroad as to raise very considerably the normal of i ra ronworkste of in terest. Even if the existing roprietors p could be coerced into giving hi g her wages than they can afford in the present state of the market, others will avoid the iron trade and carry their mone y elsewhere. Taking all trades together, there is never so large a i sur plus of capital seeking em ployment as there s of labour in excess of the de mand for it ; but a still more important difference RUPTUItES.-11Y ROYAL LETTKRS PATENT.

At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, anti orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

TlMES.—Whoever lose by the advent of the Tories 1 to power, one thing seems very certain—that the lawyers will not. There has been observed an ex traordinary tenacity of office in the judges of our different Courts, and, whether from the opinions of the office holder happening in many cases to be in harmony with the opinions of the present Govern ment, or from what other reason we know not, cer tain it is that vacancies seem likely to occur in high legal appointments with a profusion which has not been known for many years. It is said that Sir Wm. Erie intends to surrender the cushion of the Common Pleas at the end of the present term, and a similar report is current, though we know not with how much truth, with regard to one at least of our not very juvenile Vice-Chancellors. It may thus very well be that neither the present Attorney nor Solicitor-General may meet Parliament, and that Government, having provided for the principal of its parliamentary legal supporters, will have to meet the house with law officers little versed in its pro ceedings, and not having acquyed its ear, or become familiar with its practice. We should think there can be few partisans so heated and so illiberal as not to feel pleasure at this incident of the accession of Lord Derby to power. There are lawyers non-poli tical and lawyers political; the first of these, as they lend their support to neither party, have little to expect from either, except when some extraordinary merit may command attention, and the absence of any prominent political claimant mayinvite the Go vernment of the day to an act of heroic self-abne gation. But though their prospects of promotion are not certain or brilliant, the non-political lawyers lead, at any rate, an easy and quiet life. They spend no money at elections, they have not to pledge themselves to the Permissive Bill, to vote against Maynooth, to the Ballot, to debarring the people from all rational and innocent amusement on Sunday, or to any other of those popular shib boleths which are swallowed with the tongue in the cheek by their political competitors. The political lawyer, on the other hand, stakes every thing on the success of his party. If that party be predominant, all the prizes of the profes sion are open to him ; if it fail, be his merits what they may, he has nothing t o l oo k forward to but to live and die a practising barrister. Now, as it happens that men of great ability, integrity, and learning may belong to the side that plays the losing game at politics, we rejoice very sincerely at a turn of the wheel which places power in the hands of persons whose position enables them to reward solid professional merit even in the professors of a less unpopular political creed. Should the Tory Government remain in office, it would seem that a balance would be established, and that, as Lord Palmerston has made all the bishops, so Lord Derby is destined to be the maker of no inconsiderable number of judges. But it is not only by the exer cise of existing patronage that the Government of Lord Derby seems likely to be beneficial to the bar. In addition to the patronage made for it, it is about to make a little for itself. We are informed that it is the intention of the Government to make a re adjustment of the circuits, and to increase the number of judges for England from fifteen to eighteen. No doubt there will be found those who will be greatly scandalised at this, and treat it as a job by which the country will be saddled with a great deal of extra expense in order to compensate hungry adherents. We have no sympathy with then feelings ; the question is not which side will LIFE-SAVING RAFTS. A considerable number of persons assembled yes terday at the bridge over the Serpentine to see some experiments made with a machine which purports to be a life-saving raft, and which is the invention of an American merchant captain. Amongst those present were Lord Ranelagh, Colonel Brownlow Knox, Mr. Page, the eminent engineer, &c. The machine consists of a light wooden frame, with flexible hinges, and which can be easily when not required for use. The frame is supported when in the water by pontoon-shaped bags or cylinders of indiarubber, and wh ich can easily and speedily be inflated. The bags, when thus filled with air, act as tighteners to the woo den frame, and, can accor to all together, form a raft which stowe d away i n cluding persons. ding The size, sustain fifty, or even h.ua n cluding the inflation s minutes, and then raft was prepared yes terday, s o h f o t t he in p t o o nto th o e ns i n five or ix water from the balustrade of the bridge. It r i g hted itself at once, and, about forty five persons having got upon it, floated about in the water without very sensibly increasing its immer sion. The g eneral opinion expressed was that the raft would be a great addition to the means of sav ing life in such terrible cases as the recent one of the Evening Star, and that the price at which it could be constructed would enable ships of any con siderable size to be furnished with it. We were in formed that the raft has already been extensively adopted in the American merchant service, and that nt ct a compact ness its usefulness is held in high estimation on the other side of the Atlantic. The inventor, Mr. E. S. ap e Pe n rr e y ss , a c u l d aim slin s p f l o i r cit h y is in r e a o ft nst t r h uion vages of e d ch when packed, and greater bill d t aap a ty than lifeboats for sea-going steamers, as not being liable to be either stove in, swamped, or capsized at those critical periods when its services would be called into requisition.

Half an hour later in the same trial, Lord Campbell, alluding to a decision given in a similar action, said, " In that case the carriage which had sustained injury was an nninibus--" " Pardon me, my lord," interposed the Queen's counsel, with such prompti tude that his lordship was startled into silence, "a carriage of the kind to which you draw attention is usually termed a bus ;' that pronunciation is open to no grave objection, and it has the greatadvantage of savingthe time consumed by uttering two extra syllables." The interruption was followed by a roar of laughter, in which Lord Campbell joined more heartily than any one else.
