BOARD and RESIDENCE.—CIiff House, near Warrior-square, St. Leonards-on-Sea, two minutes' walk from the Parade. Address, Mrs. Richardson, as above. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. " The Clyffards of Clyffe has very considerable merits. It is a very readable novel, written in a good style. The author can give excellent descriptions both of- scenery and charac ter."—Saturday Review. TIMES.—Mr. Cardwell is learning by experience, which is a useful lesson to every Minister. Since the news of the proceedings in Jamaica roused the agitation which is only now dying away he found how little a readiness to yield to the clamour of a sect or a party avails to save a public, man from the attacks of those who lead it and who gain noto riety by their invectives. When the denouncers of Governor Eyre first stormed the Colonial-office they were met with something more than the courtesy which a Minister of the Crown owes to any body of her Majesty's subjects. Both in manner and matter Mr. Cardwell showed rather an exces sive deference to those who came as the representa tives of their individual opinions, and who in no way spoke in the name of the public. He suffered himself to be rudely called to order, and, without waiting to receive the explanations it had asked for, the Government issued a Commission suspending the Governor of Jamaica, and virtually putting on their trial every military and naval officer and every civilian engaged in suppressing the insurrection. But not one word of praise, or even of common ac knowledgment, has the Colonial Secretary received from the leaders of the agitation. They are haunted with the notion that, unless they can discredit him, he will be able in some way to protect the men they are assailing. A Colonial Secretary must be in the same boat with governors, commanders of the forces, colonels of regiments, and such people, and he will, of course, carry them through if he can. Henc e it i s as well to be beforehand, and to show that Mr. Cardwell is weak, incapable, prejudiced, and th a t in his secret heart he thinks "leniently of negro slaughter when perpetratabrPerSont. high in the service. Perhaps beforeTarliament meets it will be dikovered that he shared with Governor Eyre and the British officers on the station their passion for indiscriminate executions. We would advise him to take care not to criminate himself, since even to speak of the " great promptitude of the authori ties," and " skilful disposition of the troops," shows bloodthirsty sympathies ; while it is enough to rouse suspicion in certain quarters that he should say the appointment of Sir H. Storks was not intended as a stigma on Mr. Eyre. This language Mr. Cardwell used at Oxford the other day, and it evinces a courage and, in our opinion, a generosity of spirit which have been hardly apparent in some Ministe rial utterances on this subject. It may be that even a newly constructed Cabinet, with a new Parlia ment to manage and several difficult questions to encounter, is capable of throwing off its natural timidity when it collects by the social intercourse of its members that the demands of Exeter Hall do not represent the opinions of the country, and that in this matter the noise has been made by a small and by no means important part of the community. The Ministry may have discovered within the last month that there is a large, though comparatively quiescent, mass of public opinion in favour of sup porting men who have successfully performed an arduous duty, who have saved a British colonyfrom murder and rapine, and whose co n d uc t h as b een ap proved in the most: deliberate and emphatic manner by the Constitutional representatives of the island, as well as by the entire class which possesses edu cation and property. Mr. Cardwell's language ap pears to us such as may be fairly used by a Minister while an inquiry is still pending. The services ren dered by the Governor and the military in promptly suppressing the insurrection will be doubted by no one who reads the narrative of the outbreak of De cember, 1831, which, with a far less formidable be ginning than that of October last, caused the de struction within a single fortnight of more than a hundred plantations, and the permanent impoverish ment of a large part of the island. There is every reason to believe that the calamity would have been even more terrible on the present occasion, since the rebels betook themselves, not to incendiarism, but to murder. Mr. Cardwell is, therefore, fully en titled to praise the energy of those by whom " com parative safety was speedily restored to all per sons, of whatever race and colour, who desired to live in peace and orderly submission to the law." On the other hand, if undue severity was displayed by any of the officers in command, or if the military Commissions were wrong in executing the followers as well as the ringleaders, Mr. Cardwell may well urge that lie has done all in his power " to obtain a full and fair inquiry" into these alleged misdoings. The event of this inquiry we shall be prepared to abide, and such we think is the disposition of the public, though already there is a tendency among those who urged the institution of the Commission to depreciate its importance, and to declare that it must not stand in the way of Any further action which they themselves may think fit to take. As to the Commissioners themselves, there is no fear that they will be wanting in respect for Constitutional practice and legal proceeding. Sir Henry Storks is a soldier, but he has long been accustomed to the exercise of civil functions. The man who was able to deal successfully with the lonians in those last years when the display of discontent was encouraged by the hope of deliverance is not likely to sympa thise unduly with a hasty resort to the sword. He governed without it himself, and may be expected to believe that others should have done the same. The other two Commissioners are barristers and criminal judges, with a natural bias in favour of the time honoured system they administer, and a je a l ous y of that hateful thing, al m ost unknown in English annals, called martial law. The Secretary to the Commission is also a barrister, and the evidence to be brought before it will probably be in a great measure prepared by lawyers. Constitutional principles will, therefore, be fully represented in the inquiry, and the Report of the Commission may be taken to represent the view which minds emi nently civilian in their training and modes of thought take of the proceedings in Jamaica. Al though the vituperation and menaces of a party in England might justify the Governor and the princi pal officers in considering themselves as prisoners on their defence, and as entitled to maintain a due reserve in their answers, yet we cannot doubt that they will give the Commission all the support in their power in its task of ascertain ing the truth. Meanwhile, the best argument in defence of what has been done is to be found in the fact that so many men in such various positions coincided in the opinion that the measures were just and necessary. Unless we are to believe that a general madness seized everybody, high and low, who was engaged in maintaining the peace of the island, the Governor and all these gentlemen must have a reasonable account to give of their proceed ings. Their evidence and that of the magistrates and other residents in the various parishes will throw the best light on these unhappy events. It is difficult to believe that all these people can have been mistaken for months together concerning the disposition of the blacks and the dangers which threatened the island.

We advise that all Acts of Parliament which profess to regulate or restrict the modes of fishing pursued in the open sea be repealed ; and that unrestricted freedom of fishing be permitted hereafter. 2. With regard to in-shore fishing, although the evi dence, so far as it is conclusive, appears to us to prove that the taking of small and immature fish has not yet produced any injurious effect upon the fisheries, it is undoubtedly possible that by the use of improved engines the destruc tion of fry might reach such a pitch as to bear a large, in stead of, as at present, an insignificant ratio to the destruc tion effected by the natural enemies of fish, and by condi tions unfavourable to their existence. The existence of such a state of things, however, could only be determined by the examination of trustworthy sta tistics of the fisheries in question, extending over a consi derable number of years; and should it ever be satisfactorily proved to have arisen we conceive that the best remedial measures would be to place a restriction upon the'size of the fish permitted to be brought ashore, and to subject the possessor of fish below a certain specified size to penalties ; but to avoid interfering with the implements of fishermen, or with their methods of fishing. For the present we advise that all acts of Parliament which profess to regulate or restrict the modes of fishing pursued in shore be repealed, with the exceptions purely on grounds of police, of the Local Act regulating pilchard fishing at St. Ives, and, for that part of Loch Fyn which lies above Otter Spit, of the act prohibiting trawling for herrings in Scotland. 3. While we do not consider it expedient to impose any general restrictions upon the fishing of in-shore oyster or mussel beds, we strongly recommend that every legislative assistance be given to persons or corporations who may desire to form private beds for oyster or mussel culture. In doing this it will be necessary to keep two objects in view. in the first place, to provide a means by which companies or persons may easily acquire such a title to ade quate portions of the sea bottom as may make it worth their while to expend capital in stocking and tending the fishery. In the second place, to see that, in so doing, pre existing rights of fishery are not unduly interfered with, and especially that the property in the sea-bottom so ac quired does not extend so far as to confer a virtual mono poly of the whole productive area. We are disposed to think that the most convenient course would be to empower a public Board to grant leases of the sea-bottom, after making proper inquiries into the circumstances of each case. Such power should only be exercised after proper notice to the public at the place proposed to be so dealt with, and with due consideration of the interests :of the existing population ; and an appeal from the decision of the Board should be given to the Privy Council, whose decision should be final and conclu sive as to any claim of the public to dredge, or fish, over the ground so granted. Grants made by the Board should be for a limited number of years only ; and should be voidable after a certain number of years, on its being proved to the Board that they had not been acted upon. Where a valuable fishery now exists beyond low-water mark no grant of exclusive fishing should be made with out tho sanction of Parliament ; and it would be more satisfactory to the public of the place where any such ap propriation might be contemplated, if proceedings first commenced before the Board and an inquiry on the spot held by them, or by some person duly authorized by them. The various schemes approved by the Board might, we think, be embodied in a general Act, with short reports on the individual cases. 4. We think it a, matter of great importance that fishery statistics should be systematically collected. It is only by such means that the constant recurrence of the panic;,' to which the sea fishery interest has hitherto been subjected can be prevented, and that any trustworthy conclusion can be arrived at regarding the effects of the modes of fishing which are in use. It is probable that the existing coast guard or customs organisation might be utilised to collect fishery statistics, as is now, to some extent, the case in Ire land. • 5. With reference to the police of the fisheries, we advise that an act be passed embodying the substance of the pro visions enumerated above. We recommend that the due enforcement of this act should be confided to the Lords of the Admiralty, who should place cruisers, of such a character as the nature of the stations may indicate, on such fishing stations as may require their presence. The commanders of such cruisers should receive and report upon all complaints that may be made by fishermen, or others, respecting the falling off of the supply of fish in consequence of alleged injurious prac tices, or respecting the interference of fishermen one with another not remediable by ordinary process of law. 6. Finally, we advise that all restrictions which prevent foreign fishermen from entering British or Irish ports for the sale of fish be removed in Great Britain and Ireland ; and that measures be taken to secure the like freedom for British fishermen in foreign ports. All which we humbly certify to your Majesty under our hands and seals. JAMES CAniD. THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY. GEvitoix SHAW 14.1raTau. Post--The late South American mail, though it brought no reassuring tidings in respect to the quarrel between Spain and Chili, at all events left the belligerents in state quo. The Spanish Admiral contented himself with the exercise of the right of blockade, and the threatened bombardment of Val paraiso is indefinitely postponed. When our last advices left Chili the Admiral was awaiting further instructions from his Government, and, as the nature of the instructions which have been sent is no secret to Europe, no apprehensions need be en tertained of blood being spilt in order to avenge the fancied slight on Castilian honour. The remon strances addressed to the Spanish Government by the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries have not been altogether ineffectual, and the results of the acts of hostility committed by both parties to the quarrel will resolve themselves into a question of pounds, shillings, and pence. Even this, however, is bad enough. It seems at first blush inequitable that a power like Spain should, after an explanation of an alleged affront had been accepted by its am bassador, revive the quarrel by temporarily extin guishing the external commerce of a thriving Re public ; but the injustice of such a proceeding becomes still more apparent when the evil conse quences fall not only on the supposed wrongdoers, but on several communities who have confessedly been unoffending. England, as we took occasion to mention on a previous occasion, has a large trade with Chili—in fact, as large a trade as all the other States of the world put together—and the effect of blockading the Chilian ports was of necessity to paralyse this trade. It may be said that the injury inflicted on neutrals in time of war is an inevitable evil ; but, assuming that such is the case, it is the more incumbent on nations not to plunge into war without sufficient justification. The trade between. Spain and Chili was comparatively unimportant, and the Spanish Government have doubtless consoled themselves with the reflection that, being the more powerful of the two belligerents, they will be enabled to compel the Chilians to in demnify them for the cost to which they have been put by the war. This, however, is so-selfish a view to take of the matter that neutral States, which are absolutely precluded from obtaining any compensation for the losses indirectly inflicted upon them in time of war, may well protest against so one-sided an interpretation of international obliga tions. The war between Spain and Chili furnishes // • ,• 6, " 10111/ 1 / 1 ' •_v. A.

It is now as it has been since the commencement of the world. Every State is entitled to look to its own interests alone in determining on the expedi ency of going to war. During the past century the practice has, however, arisen, in the event of dis putes between two or more Po wers , f or neutral States to proffer their good offices with a view to the amicable adjustment of existing differences, and many instances have occurred in which a reference to arbitration has been assented to by those who otherwise would have relied alone on the arbitra ment of the sword. But it still regarded as an in cident to its independence that a senate should be entitled to settle it differences after its own fashion, and, however great may be the evils occasioned to friendly Powers, a State is held legally justified in declaring war against one by whom it considers itself aggrieved. It was the dream of Richard Cobden, and continues to be so of many others, that it would be possible to create some supreme tribunal of States to which those disputes which constantly arise between the members of the great family of nations might be referred, and the neces sity of war and all its attendant evils be thereby avoided. Visionary as this scheme must appear to every one who calls to mind how seldom wars are prosecuted with the object of vindicating an outraged right, still there seems no reason why, in all those instances in which the casus belli was comparatively insignificant, and especially in those cases where the aggrieved State admitted its willingness to receive a pecuniary indemnity or verbal apology, an arrangement should not be come to between civilised Powers to refer the point at issue. A few illustrations will serve to show how easy it might be to apply such a system if once as sented to. A few years ago a difference arose be tween this country and Brazil out of two separate incidents, namely, the plunder of a vessel wrecked on the Brazilian coast and possible murder of the crew, and an . insult offered to some E ng li s h nava l officers by the sentry and soldiers of a Brazilian guard-house. We demanded an indemity for the former outrage, which, being refused, we seized several Brazilian ships and held them until our claims were satisfied, and the consequence has been that Brazil has ever since refused to send a represen tative to the English Court. The second point in dispute we referred to the abitration of the King of the Belgians, who decided against us. The arrest of the Southern Commissioners on board the Trent nearly gave rise to a war which would have cost millions of money and occasioned incalculable mis chief if the American Government had not restored them ; and in that case also one cannot help feeling that, had such restoration been refused, a reference to arbitration would have been better than a war. At the present moment there is pending betyreen this country and the United States a claim which is in every sense a pecuniary one, and yet its non satisfaction might occasion a war, pecuniary losses incidental to which would dwarf the amount claimed into utter insignificance. As to the cause of quar rel between Spain and Chili, it is simply puerile, and yet it has been made an excuse for a war which inflicts great damage on a thriving Republic. No one will deny that the matters in dispute might not have been referred to arbitration without any loss of dignity to either of the belligerents. It is well worthy of consideration, therefore, whether the great family of nations might not enter into a treaty similar to that by which many of its members consented to abandon the right of issuing letters of marque, with th e v i ew o f avo idi ng t h e ev il s of war in those constantly recurring instances in which one State conceives itself aggr i eve d b y anot h er, towards which, however, it entertains no real enmity. PRICE 4(1., STAMPED sd. He also saw them off the French packet in the morning, and gave letters to those who had lost their tickets. St. Luke further said—Having regard to the character of the night, I do not think that the speed at which the Samphire was stated to have gone was excessive, but that it was perfectly consistent with safety. I have known Captain Bennett for the last seven years—first, on the Folkestone station, and for the last three years as a commander of the Dover packet. I should say that a more fit man for a commander of a vessel performing this service could not be selected. If the barque had been on her starboard tack closehauled, and the steamer had seen her green light, it would have necessitated the steamer getting out of the way. If the barque had seen the steamer's red light sufficiently far off, it would have been his duty to port his helm and get out of the steamer's way. Mr. William Hunter, a passenger on board the Samphire, deposed that he saw the barque come straight into the steamer, but he saw no light on the former until the vessels parted, and then he saw a bright light between the fore and main masts, but it did not appear to be stationary. The court again adjourned. SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION in GEOLOGY and MINE- R &LOGY le given by Mr.TENNANT,F.G.S., at 149, Strand. The late Fatal Collision in the Channel. t".. The first witness examined yesterday was the steward of the Samphire, who stated that the vessel's lights were properly fixed on the night of the colli sion, and burnt well. His evidence was confirmed by the engineer and carpenter, the latter of whom said he blew out the two bridge lights the morning after. Lieutenant Morgan, naval superintendent of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company's boats, was also examined. In reference to the speed of the vessel he said—We have a special order regulating the speed of the mail-boats. It says— " The time allowed by the Post-office for the out going mails is two hours and five minutes, which time counts from the arrival of the train on Admi miralty-pier, abreast of the vessel, to the gangboard being placed on shore or on board at Calais—viz., 10 minutes for the embarkation at Dover, and 1 hour 55 minutes for the passage. The captains and crews will see that every one must do his utmost to enable the work to be performed under the contract time ; and the more so, as when it is so performed a premium is given by the Post-office ; whereas, if the contract time is exceeded, a forfeit has to be paid. The captains are nevertheless specially cau tioned that the safety of their vessels, with all they contain, are to be their particular care, and that in endeavouring to make the passage as quickly as possible they are not to neglect any precaution to insure their being performed in safety also. In foggy weather the captains are to be very careful in approaching the land, and are to ease the engines and try for soundings in good. time, before even by calculation they are two or three miles from the nearest land. They are never to be afraid of using the lead too much. It is of course an understood thing that, unless for some special reason which would . require a special re port, the captain of a vessel running between Dover and Calais, or Ramsgate and Calais, &c., should never go off deck." By Captain Baker—lf upon the return of the cap tain he can explain satisfactorily why he has been a longer time than usual on the passage he is exone rated from blame as to the delay. By Mr. O'Dowd—The company receives the re ward for quick passages, and the captains only a small portion of it. The penalty for delayed passages is always exacted by the Post-office, although there might be reasonable grounds to justify the delay. By Mr. Fox—Captain Bennett has been in this service since the beginning of 1862. I have always found Captain Bennett to be exceedingly zealous, steady, and trustworthy, and I consider a very effi cient officer in all respects. During the time he has been in this service his conduct has always met with my entire approbation. I would send him to sea again. By Captain Harris—ln October, 1862, Captain Bennett was the commander of the mail packet Maid of Kent, which broke down in mid-channel in a heavy gale of wind, when he handled his ship in such a manner that I consider he was the means of saving the passengers and vessel. Captain Bennett has never been in collision before. The cause of the Maid of Kent's casualty was a breakdown of the machinery, and not any fault of the captain. The crews are not overworked. They have 25 hours at Calais, and 19 hours at Dover, between the pas sages ; and their duty during that time is merely to clean the ship. We have three crews—two running and one ashore. We have five vessels—two spare and three running. The remainder of the witness's evidence referred principally to the condition of the lowering gear of the boats, and to the absence of the plug in the boat which took the passengers on shore. By Mr. O'Dowd—l think they have gained the premium for quick passages about six days out of seven through the year. By Captain Baker—Whatever the state of the weather, the penalty has always been inflicted. I have never known the packets not to go at all. They have been sometimes delayed a few hours from bad weather. By Mr. O'Dowd—Under any circumstances, whether for safety or from the state of tide, the fines are enforced if the delay is over a quarter of an hour. At Calais there is a tender which can take the mails from the packet ashore, and at Dover they can come alongside the Admiralty-pier at any time of tide. • Sir Luke Smithett, who was acting as marine superintendent on the night of the collision, proved that he met the passengers on the Admiralty-pier as they landed, and that he went with them to the Lord Warden, where they obtained every comfort. STATE OF TRADE. LEICESTER, Jan. 3.—The hosiery trade is healthy and satisfactory. There is, however, not much yet doing in any department, it being too early in the new year for the demand to set in. Business is also quiet in the country districts, and the operatives are not fully employed. The wool market continues firm, and high prices are quoted. In worsted yarns there is no important alteration ; the market con tinues steady. Cotton yarns are unaltered in value. NOTTINGHAM, 3d.—There has been rather more doing in the lace trade during the past few days, and there are symptoms of a revival in business generally. The cotton branch is, however, still quiet, and manufacturers are finishing to order. There is little doing in silk mechlins and quillings, and black laces. The narrow edging branch remains quiet. Only a few buyers have recently been in the market, and their purchases have not been large. Cotton yarns are firm and high in price. Silk con tinues extremely dear. The hosiery trade remains exceedingly active. All departments are well en gaged, and manufacturers have still numerous or ders on hand. The shipping trade is brisk, and the home demand is fully an average. The work people continue well employed. Hosiery yarns are unaltered in value. Freaks of a Ticket.of-Leave Man at Maidstone. In March, 1863, a man named John Devine was convicted at Brighton for felony, and sentenced to three years' penal servitude, upon which he was sent to Portland. While undergoing sentence there a lady—who has a brother-in-law engaged in an offi cial position on the Maidstone and Sevenoaks Railway—visited the establishment, and from con versation with the prisoner took a great interest in him. About three weeks since a ticket-of leave was granted the convict. On obtaining this the lady wrote to her brother-in-law to procure the ticket-of-leave gentleman work, which he did on the Maidstone and Sevenoaks Railway, in the Maid stone district, as a mason, Mrs. supplying him with a new outfit of clothes and tools. Prisoner came to Maidstone about the above time, and com menced work, taking up his abode at Mr. Smith's, Scrubb's-lane, and agreeing to pay Mr. Smith 13s. a week for his board and lodgings. While with Mr. Smith he wanted the loan of his watch to " make him look like a gentleman," but as the acquaintance was of very short duration, Mr. Smith respectfully declined. At the expiration of a week the Portland prince left his lodgings, forgetting to pay his rent and board. During the week, when engaged on the railway, he told his fellow-workmen that he had £7OO in the bank, which had been de posited there on his account for having saved the life of Mr. T--'s brother in the Crimea. At this time the ticket gentleman spent his evenings at the beerhouse of Mr. Bird, in Fant-fields, who supplied him with beer ad libitum for the men on the works. lle also had provided a supper, to which he invited 40 of his fellow-workmen, who dubbed him a " hearty good fellow." A band of music was also in attendance, Mr. Bird paying for the whole on the strength of the " gentleman" withdrawing a portion of his bank deposit. While working on the line he became acquainted with Mr. Martin, of the Kentish Waggoner. On leaving his lodg ings on the Sunday night he visited the house of Mr. Martin, where he fell desperately in love with a buxom blooming daughter of the worthy host. Whether the flame was returned with the same ardour or not cannot be said ; but at any rate the ticket gentleman's prospects induced the young lady to consent to be led to Hymen's altar. Every preparation was actively set on foot for the marriage ceremony. Tailors, drapers, dressmakers, &c., were busily engaged on the work. For three days the gallant bridegroom kept Mr. Martin in tow, visiting sundry places in the town, among others the bank, where he took the precaution to leave the re spected Boniface outside, while he went in under the pretence of inquiring about hii money, for the pur pose of blinding Mr. Martin. On the third day of courtship, unfortunately for the course of true love, the cup of bliss was dashed to the ground. An active police constable of the Maidstone force, who had been on the convict's track, called on that day upon Mr. Martin, and informed him that his son-in-law in the perspective was nothing more nor less than a ticket-of-leave man, and that his bank deposit was all moonshine; whereupon Mr. Martin showed the convict bridegroom the door, and it was not long be fore he was on his road to Chatham, having first succeeded in obtaining from Mrs. Martin the loan of ss. to meet his immediate necessities. When at Chat ham he commenced the same game, whereby he ob tained sundry watches; but hearing, we may surmise, that the police were again on his trail, he was soon non est. Nothing since has been heard of him. O ur ticket-of-leave gentleman is no doubt carrying on the course of winning young ladies' hearts, deluding beerhouse keepers, bilking tailors, and being toasted round as a hearty good fellow. He stands sft. 81i n. high, is 26 years of age, with dark h a i r and wicom plexion, and a mark - over the ri ght ey e.—Maidstone Telegraph.

A „, the fellows of this soci e ty was helcrlfrAlieir r A, 6 in St. M ar ti n ' s - p l ace. Aft er th e dispoSal theS usual routine business, including the reading of the reports of the treasurer, the curator, and librarian, The president, Dr. JAMES IIuNT, delivered the anniversary address. He adverted, in the first place, to the deaths during the past year of those gentlemen who held a prominent position in the society, including Mr. Roberts, Mr. Cassell, and Governor- Freeman. Ile then took into considera tion the definitions that had been given of the term anthropology, and he contended that, as the veri table science of man, it should take a high rank among the sciences. Tile, science might be divided, he said, into de.scriptive anthropology, archaic an thropology, historic anthropology, and comparative anthropology, and he explained the bearing of each division on anthropology in general, so as to con stitute a complete science of man. The president then commented with much severity on the manner in whiCh that science had been treated at the last meeting of the British Association at Birmingham, where, owing to the hostility of some members of the geographical section, anthropology had been re fused distinct recognition, by the rejection of the motion to have a separate section devoted to it. He took occasion also to animadvert on the conduct of some members of the Ethnological Society, and to predict that in the course of time ethnology would become extinct as a separate science, and would be merged in the more comprehensive objects of anthropology. Nor did he allow Sir Ro derick Murchison, who took a prominent part in opposing the application of the Anthropo logical Society of Birmingham, to pass without com ment ; and he alleged that, as president of the Geo logical Society, he had made the meetings of that society rather a fashionable reunion than a means of promoting geography. The importance of anthro pology, he observed, had never been adequately ap preciated in this country, and, among public men who had shown their ignorance of it, lie particularly mentioned the present Prime Minister of England, who had ignored the first principles on which an thropology depends, by ignoring race character. It was, he said, a study to which statesmen should par ticularly apply themselves, and he hoped the time was not far distant when a knowledge of the prin ciples of anthropology would be considered essential in the education of all public men. He alluded pro minently to the late outbreak in Jamaica as an oc currence which might have been predicted from the power which had been given to the negroes in that island. He eulogised, in strong terms, Governor Eyre, as a man of whom England should be proud, as he had preserved the white inhabitants from the outrages which the negroes would otherwise have perpetrated. It was by such men only that the negro could be ruled, and it was absurd to ignore all distinctions of race character in governing them, for it was impossible to make laws that were equally applicable to Europeans and to men of African blood. In the course of his address the president also alluded to the bitter attacks that had been made on the Anthropological Society by the religious press, on account of the papers and discussions on the results of missionary labours in Africa ; and he defended the society from those attacks, observing that the society merely investigated facts, and that they did not wish to interfere with religious belief. He concluded with hopeful expressions of the future of the society, and by urging the members to make increased exertions to promote its prosperity. Thanks having been given to the president for his address, the scrutineers of the ballet-boxes re ported that the officers named by the council for the present year had been elected unanimously, in cluding the continuance in office of Dr. Hunt, as president, and of Mr. Bollaert and Mr. H.J. Beavan as secretaries. The Rev. Dunbar Heath was elected treasurer, in the room of Dr. Charnock, who had resigned. The meeting then adjourned, and a num ber of the fellows afterwards dined together at St. James's Hall. Christmas Lectures at the Royal Lati- tution. Yesterday Professor Tyndall delivered the fourth of his Christmas lectures "On Sound," at the Royal Institution. The musical notes produced by the vibration of strings and elastic plates formed the branch of the subject to which he directed at tention. He showed, by various illustrations, that when a stretched string is vibrated, it divides itself generally into vibrating parts, which are separated from each other by points called " nodes," that re main nearly at rest. He illustrated this condition of a vibrating string, in the first instance, by means of a vulcanised indiarubber tube, filled with sand, suspended from the top of the lecture-room. By jerking one end, an undulation was formed on the tube, which moved upwards to the top, whence it was reflected and returned to the hand. When the elastic tube thus vibrated as a whole, it represented the vibrations of the fundamental note of a string or wire, but, by repeating the jerks in more rapid succession, the undulations proceeding upwards were met by those returning; and at cer tain points, depending on the rapidity of the action, the vibration ceased, and those nodes served to divide the vibrations of the string in the same man ner as if it had been held at those points. By a slow succession of movements the tube was divided first into two vibrating parts, then in three, and into the y the combination five. A si m il ar e ff ect was s h own to ta k e p l ace b y vibration of a l ong s t ee l w i re , th e divisions into nodes and " ventral segments" being exhibited by e s c r e throwingeno fba me stringean s magnified o f are causedelec t rics h adowb ofthe wire se on divi sions a lamp. Th of direct and reflected undulations, and they are called the " harmonies" of a string. A consider able portion of the lecture was devoted to the fur ther illustration of the divisions of a stretched string into its harmonies, one of the most remarkable ex periments being performed with a wire upwards of 20ft. long stretched horizontally. Several red and white pieces of paper were laid across the wire at equal divisions, and when one division of the wire, separated from the rest by pressing against it, was vibrated, the white pieces of paper placed at the nodes remained unmoved while all the red pieces were thrown off. Some beautiful experimentsillus trating the same effect on elastic plates were also exhibited. White sand was sprinkled on several metal discs and flat plates placed horizontally and fixed in their centres so as to allow them to vibrate freely, and when the bow cf a violin was drawn along the edges the vibrations of the plates and discs caused the sand to collect at the nodes and to be thrown off the vibrating parts, and thus formed very regular patterns. As an exemplification of the harmonious effect produced by the vibrations of thin surfaces, Professor Tyndall exhibited a glass fiddle and a magnificent set of musical glasses constructed by Mr. Bird, of Birmingham, who was present and played tunes on these instruments. The glass fiddle consisted of a number of small glasses shaped like goblets fixed on a board, with a fiddle bow in each hand. Mr. Bird succeeded in playing " Rous seau's Dream" with admirable effect, the sound having the same melodious tone as the larger musi cal glasses and greater variety. This interlude in the scientific lecture was greatly appreciated by the audience, both young and old. Tin DAVENPORTS' EXIIIBITION.—By the last mail from America intelligonco was brought that Mr. Fay, "recently agent for the Davenport Brothers," had proved false to his asso c i a t es, b y exp l a i n i ng the manner in which their delusions were practised. This Mr. Fay has been sadly handled since, and has been called traitor and. all sorts of other bad names. A Mr. W. M. Fay, however, writes to say that ho loft Now York with the Davenport Brothers in 1864, and has been with them ever since, and is now on his way to Ireland with them.
