There will be an examination in the Gonville and Caius College in March next for two scholarships, of the value of 160 per annum each, open to all persons who have not commenced residence in the University and who are under 20 years of age on the first day of the examination. These scholarships will be tenable till the ordinary College examina- tion in 1869, and one of them will be awarded for proficiency in mathematics. The examination in classics will take place on March 24 and 25, that in mathematics on March 26 and 27 ; and both exa minations will be conducted partly by means of printed papers and partly viva voce. The clas sical examination will consist 'cif. tie 'Pr - of passages from standard Greek and Latin authors, with prose and verse composition in both languages. The subjects of the mathematical examination will be Arithmetic, Euclid, Algebra, Trigonometry, Conic Sections, treated both geometrically and alge braically, with problems and examples arising out of those subjects. Candidates must forward to the Master on or before the 17th of March a certificate of date and place of birth, together with one of good conduct from a graduate of either University. The successful competitors will be required to enter their names at the College forthwith, and to come into residence in October next. Further informa- tion may be obtained by applying to the Rev. N. M. Ferrers, Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. The College is prepared, on the recommendation of the examiners, to award additional Scholarships, if any candidates, besides the two who are successful, should appear of sufficient merit. - 7 .NE WSPATIrit \\\,,. - - e • 1 , 4 z . • 1,,N / " e Z 'FENIAN MATTEIt ;SR .en Wednesday the Roman Catholic Bishol, of r o l (Dr. Goss) issued the folleiing notice : 4 \ l " To the Irish portion of our BeloVed Flock in the Town of Liverpool and its Vicinity. " Dear Children in Jesus Christ,—We haie read with pain and sorrow an advertisement in the- public printi caning upon you to assemble in thousands on Sunday next, in the outskirts of this town, and thence to walk in funeral procession through its principal thoroughfares. For many years the mayor and magistrates of this borough have most wisely ordained that no party procnsion or denr:n stration should take place within the limits of their juris. diction. We have always considered this a mostwise and salutary regulation, and-have given our aid and a3sistance to enable the authorities to carry it into effect. The result is that there has been no strife, no contention, no struggle for the mastery, ne rivalry, and that in place of such sad evils there have been peace and good fel!ou'ship amcngst all who are content to work side by side with one another for their daily bread, without distinction of creed or country. To disturb this peace, to call into existence party distinctions which are well-nigh forgotten, to light up the embers of civil discord which had almost burnt themselves out, to excite and arouse feelings of rancour and hatred which are only remembered that they may be deplored, would not only be foolish and impolitic, but very sinful to Him whose children we all nre, who has made Cue sun to shine alike on the geod and the bad, and who would have us dwell together in charity and forbearance. We earnestly and affect exhort you, and if need • be we command you, by the authority whiclrewe hold from God, and in virtue of our sacred office, that you abstain from joining any proces*ll, and that you cheerfully obey the commands of the chief magistrate of this town. Listen not to those w"..ea unhappily may not heed the counsels, but rather to us whose voice has been ever heard to console you, and whose hands are ever raised to bless you. When you shall have returned from church remain within your own homes, and go - not out, lest you be led by misguided men into harm and wrong. doing. May God in His mercy bless you. May He give you abundance and plenty. b=ay He give happi ness t o your fair but afflicted country, and may He give you that peace which our Lord bequeathed to his diEciples as the last pledge of his love. "Given at St.- -Tudws.rd's Coiiege, Everton, Deceinber - D., 1867. e ' (Signed) " ALEXANDER G oss, Bishop of Liverpool.' The Fenian sympathisers in Glasgow with Allen. Larkin, and Gould, recently executed in Manchester, have inti mated, their intention of holding a funeral procession on Sunday next. This notification appears in the form of a large placard, surrounded with a black border, in which men and women are invited to meet on the Green on Sunday afternoon, for the purpose of marching in funeral pro cession to Dalkeith Cemetery, a Roman Catholic place of burial in the eastern suburbs. Meanwhile, the Orangemen of the city and neighbourhood, having intimation of the proposed procession, have already announced their resolu tion to oppose its progress. The Glasgow Herald says : " The demonstration would be considered most offensive by, and insulting to, the great body of the people. Mis chief would almost certainly ensue, and the Feniana would assuredly get the worst of it. Hitherto Fenians and anti-Fenians, Protestants and Roma-i Catholics, have lived in peace in this city. The Fenians, for their own sakes, should be the last to declare war. It is not likely that the sheriff and maaistates will sanction what the Liverpool authorities have prohibited. The soldiers belonging to the 86th Regiment on furlough i% Dublin, who took part in the funeral demonstration there on Sunday have got into trouble, and will no doubt be tried by court-martial. They have been taken into custody by order of the military authorities, and in quiries are being made concerning their conduct. Fol lowing the example of Cork and Dublin, it is announced that another mock funeral will take place at Clonmel next Sunday. Sergeant Kelly, one of the policemen shot at some time ago on the quays, has so far recovered from his late dangerous wound that he is now able to move about, and it is expected that he will be shortly able to leave the hospital.

At the weekly meeting of the guardians of Pad dington held, yesterday (Wednesday), a singular case of child desertion was brought to the notice of the board by Mr. Cormack, master of the work house. He said that a male child was found wrapped up on a door step in Chester-place, Hyde-park, and brought to the workhouse by a policeman. A letter was found attached to the child's clothing, of which the following are extracts :—" Horace Stracey, born Nov. 17. Pray take pity on my poor little one ; don't think I am an unkind mother to thus cast him off, but I cannot bear to see him want. There are homes and institutions supported by the benevolent where he can be well cared for, I know, but I have not the power to get him in. You can, good friends, do something for him, and God will reward you ; but oh, don't send him to the union." "Be sure it is hard for me to do this, but who would see her babe want? God has blessed so many with plenty. May I beg of you again to do something for him, and God will bless you. I cannot tell you how it will gladden the heart of a fellow-creature." The writer asks a further favour of the finder, "to ease the mind of an anxious and broken-hearted mother" by advertising in one of the London daily papers " on the 21th instant--first, to let me know if my little one is safe, as to hear that would make a happy Christmas for me." The letter is signed, " One who•will be ever thankful "_ _.Lisa singulir circumstance that a child was found a short time since in the same neighbourhood, to which was also attached a letter couched in similar terms to the above. On a recent occasion a child was found (also in Paddington) with a sovereign and a letter fastened to its clothes. The note informed the finder that the sovereign was for the purpose of pay ing for the burial, " in case the child should be dead when found," which was actually the case. The child first referred to is alive and well. THE JUDGES.--•It is not true that two of the learned judges are about to vacate their seats on the bench owing to bad health. The learned persons at whom rumour points are remarkably well, and likely to continue on the bench for some time to come. THE MANCHESTER EXECUTION AND THE REFORM LEAGUE.-At a meeting of the Council of the Reform League held last evening, Mr. Beales in the chair, Mr. W. J. Mote moved a resolution stigmatising the barging of Allen, Larkin, and Gould, "as a judicial murder, for poli tical reasons only, by her Majesty's Government." In sup port of it he made several allegations to show that the exe cution was a deliberate, premeditated murder on the part of the Government, carried out entirely apart from any consideration of the ostensible charge against the men. The motion was seco .ded, and a discussion ensued ; but, in deference to the strongly expressed opinion of the chairman, it was withdrawn. CHICKENS ARE NOT LIVE STOCK.—If the ques tion whether fleas were lobsters had conic up for decision before a court of law, instead of before Sir Joseph Banks, we should hardly have had a terser deci sion than Sir Joseph is reported by Peter Pindar to have given, but we might have the reasons for the decision more fully, if not more satisfactorily set forth. Nor must we say that a court would have refused to pass upon such a question, taking refuge in the maxim, "de ntinimis non curat lex." We do not in deed remember of any case in which an exactly similar question has come before the court, although it is not long since an English court was called upon to pass upon the question whether certain sea-side lodgings were rendered untenantable by the presence of certain other vermin as red as a lobster and nearly as agile as a flea ; but that was rather a question of fact for a jury than of construction by a court. In our own courts it is not long since the question whether cockroaches were a peril of the sea was discusscd, and an important question it wag, not only in the principle, but in the amount of dollars as well as cockroaches involved. Our law columns this morning furnish a decision of a question relating to a higher class of animals, but of a similar nature, viz., whether chickens are live stock or not. The question was ono of the legacies of the rebellion. In 1863, while it was at its height, the Sec retary of War, finding that the rebels were drawing supplies of horses and mules, &c., from the North, by way 'of Nassau and other similar places, issued an order by which, in order to preserve the "military resources of the country," ho prohibited the exportation of " horses, mules, and live stock." The Secretary of the Treasury, in aid of that order, issued a circular to the collectors, directing them to refuse clearances to any vessels with " horses, mules, and live stock" on board, and to stop any such articles which were being exportel. Some months after this a man in this city, wanting to send a consign ment of chickens to Havana, shipped them on an English vessel here, and got an advance on the bills of Ming from the agent of the consignees. After the vessel had cleared and was ready to sail, the Custom-house officers, seeing the chickens on board, came to the conclusion that they came within the Secretary's order as being live stock, and they therefore refused to let the vessel go, but compelled her to discharge the chickens, which were given back to the shipper, on his cancelling the ship's bill of lading. There upon the consignee libelled the ves3el on the bills of lad ing which ho hell, and the ship set up the action of the Custom-house authorities as a defence. Judge Nelson, in the United States Circuit Court, holds that the ship is liable, because chickens are not live stock, and the action of the officers was unwarranted. He seems to content himself, like Sir . Joseph Banks, with a simple an nouncement of his derision, referring only to the fact that the Secretary of the Treasury, when his atten tion was called a few months afterwards to the con struction which had been _put upon his order, in formed the collector that he did not consider that " live stock" embraced chickens. This decision by the present Chief Justice furnishes authority enough on this point, if guy were needed. We doubt not that other authority could have been found. It is not likely that the question will ever come up again, yet similar questions may arise among the Live Stock Insurance Companies. If they should, this case will prove to be a leading one upon the subject. —New York Times, Nov. 21. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. The annual meeting Of the Royal Agricultural Society was held on Wednesday, under the presidency of the Duke of Richmond. Amongst those present were—Major- General Hood, Colonel Challoner, Sir Walter Stirling, Messrs.Bowley, Randell, Holland,M.P., Brandreth Gibbs, 0. Wallis, Baldwin, Read, M.P., Thomas Willson, S. Sidney, Arkell, Corbet, Morton, and Pell. The attend. ance of members was unusually limited. The following were the more important paragraphs contained in the re port presented to the meeting : " Since the last general meeting in May, one governor and 97 members have died, and 177 new members have been elected, so that the soc: rtv now congsts of 76 life governors, S 2 annual governors, .t.,383 life members, 4,001 annual members, 15 honorary mensoers, making a total of 5,557. In consequence of the large expenses attendant. on the show at Bury St. Edmund; and the protracted trials of implements, the council has been compelled to sell out £2,000 of the funded property, which now stands at £16,027 19s. 7d. in the New Three per Cents., and the cash balance in the hands of the bankers on the Ist instant was £369 Bs. ld. Notwithstanding the unavoid able absence of cattle; the show-yard at Bury St. Edmuns.s was well filled with a fine display of horses, sheep, pigs, and poultry, and was remarkable for the most extensive collec tion of implements and machinery yet brought together.. The council have settled the live stock and implement prize sheet for the country meeting to be hell next year at Leicester, and have arranged that the show shall open on Thursday the 16th and close on Tuesday 21st of July. Prizes amounting to £225 will be offered for the best ap plication of steam power to the cultivation of the soil. The sum of .€1,595 is offered in prizes for live stock, to which £227 has been added by the Leicestershire and Waltham and the Loughborough Agricultural Societies ; and £lOO has been offered by the Sparkenhoe Farmers' Club in prizes for cheese. It has been resolved by the council to apportion England and Wales into eight districts,as follows : A. Durham, Northumberland, and North and East Ridings of Yorkshire. B. Cumberland, Lancashire, Westmoreland, and West Riding of Yorkshire. C. Derby. shire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutlandshire, and Warwickshire. D. Btalfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk. E. Berkshire. Buckingha.msbire, Hampshire, Kent, Middlesex, Ox fordshire, Surrey, - and Sussex. F. Cornwall, Devon-i shire, Dorsetshire, Somersetshire, and Wiltshire' G. Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Monmouthshire: i Worcestershire, and Sounth Wales. H. Cheshire,; Shropshire, Staffordshire, and North Wales. Th e council have determined that District B, comprisin, the counties of Cumberland, Lancashire, Westmoreland, and the West Riding of Yorkshire, be selected for the; country meeting of 1869. During the course of this year alterations have been made in the scheme of education adopted by the council ; it is no longer connected with the Cambridge and Oxford middle-class examinations. The next examination is fixed to take place at the society's, house in Hanover-square, during the week commencing) April 20, 1868. On this occasion it is not thought advisable to place any limit on the ages of candidates. The adoption of the report was moved by Mr. SIDNEY, who, after paying a tribute to the memory of Mr. John Baldwin, a member of the Council who has died duriag the past year, congratulated the society on having deter mined to call in the aid of practical men to pronounce upon the value of the agricultural implements to be exhi bited at the next show, and highly approved the apportion. went of England and Wales into the eight districts men. tioned in the report. Mr. NIELD having seconded the motion, the report was unanimously ad opted. Referring to an observation made by Mr. Nield, The SECRETARY stated that the society numbered thirty: two more members than it did last year. A vote of thanks to the auditors, Messrs. Ashbury, Corbet, and Sherbourne (who were re-elected), was pro posed by. Major-General HooD, seconded by Colonel CIIALLONEE, and unanimously carried. Mr. ASKELL urged that the council should devise some means by which farmers could be assisted in the discovery of the character of, and the remedies fur, the numerous diseases to which plants are subjected. Mr. SIDNEY strongly urged the necessity of the society undertaking an agricultural survey, by means of questions addressed by a committee to the best-informed persons in various parts of England. Colonel CIULLONER. reminded the meeting that tee prizes the council had offered had brought forth some most important papers on the agricultural character and cultivation of important districts. Mr. READ, M.P., thought the idea of a treatise being prepared on the subject of plant diseases was a good one, and bad no doubt it would be considered by the council. After some observations by Major-General Hood and Mr. Warry, The CHAinmAN, referring to Mr. Ashells suggestion as to the action to be taken by the council in connection with the discovery and cure of plant diseases, reminded the meeting that the society's journal c itaiued some very important papers on the subject. 1;:c idea of an agricultural survey, mooted by Mr. his Grace held to be of great value, but it was not to be forgotten that there was nothing upon which so much diversity of opinion prevailed as upon agricultural topics. In the department (the Board of Trade) over which lie presided, the chairman stated that lie was en deavouring to procure statistics from all parts of the country, Which, although of course only permissive, would prove, of the utmost use to farniere A vote of thanks to the cbnirmal was proposed by air.

KEITH JOHNSTON, LL.D., F.R.S.E., F.R.G.S., Author of the "Royal Atlas," the "Physical Atlas," &c. This work has been constructed for the purpose of placing in the hands of the public a useful and thoroughly accurate ATLAS of Maps of Modern Geography, in a convenient form, and at a moderate price. It is based on the "Royal Atlas," by the same Author; and, in so far as the scale permits, it comprises many of the excellencies which its prototype is acknowledged to pos sess. The aim has been to make the book strictly what its name implies, a HANDY ATLAS—a valuable substitute for the " Royal," where that is too bulky or too expensive to find a place, a need ful auxiliary to the junior branches of families, and a vade mecum to the tutor and the pupil-teacher. 45 MAPS CLEARLY PRINTED AND CAREFULLY COLOURED, WITII GENERAL INDEX.

" A ROWING MAN.—When he is not actually row ing, or running, or conscientiously devouring his allotted modicum of victuals, he may be picking up gossip, proving to the satisfaction of his own crow that they did the course the day before in 8 min. 19 sec. instead of 8 min. 21 sec., and that their rivals were at most 2 min. less, which is not enough to secure a success. Or ho may be going through some subtle piece of diplomacy, persuading some man to row whose friends, or studies, or health for bid it, or simply lounging about in a dignified manner at some other resort, with the pleasant unconsciousness that men are -whispering behind his back, "There is the stroke of the Boniface boat,"—as perhaps in the larger world, though vanity is no longer so simple or so easily satisfied, a man may like to be pointed out at a club as the future solicitor-general, or the best candidate for the vacant bishopric. Little knots of such enthusiasts gather together in each other's rooms, when they might be better employed , and discuss the prospects of the next race as eagerly as their elders canvass the state of the Funds. And the day ends perhaps with dinner and a prolonged chat with some celebrity of former times, who discourses of races won by 18 inches, of the great struggle when the losing crew ' imitated the fabulous feat of the Vengeur, and rowed till the water reached their waists, of the more ancient race when the immortal seven-oared crew defeated their anta gonists with eight, and of contests in still remoter ages, some of the actors in which have long since attained to bishoprics or high state offices.-81.

As a mere money-coiningpursuit, there is a good deal to be said both for and ag a i ns t j ourna li sm . It is emphatically one of those trades, aspired after by old Tulliver in the " Mill on the Floss," which require no capital and are all profit. A ream of paper, a box of pens, a bottle of ink, and a chair, are all the stock-in-trade required. You want no offices, no studio, no shop, to be a writer ; you have no need, except in a very incidental way, to go to expense to keep up appearances ; you require neither carriages nor horses, clerks nor servants, for the extension of your business. Indeed, access to a good library of reference, not in itself a very difficult or expensive object to ac complish, is about the only outlay absolutely essential to success as a professional writer. And, in spite of all that has been written about the difficulty of getting any sort of employment as an unknown aspirant to literary fame, we believe there is no trade in which it is so easy to get a start as that of journalism. To make a beginning is aiway difficult, but not more so, we hold, in literature than elsewhere. By the laws of trade, which no novice can defy with impunity, a briefless barrister cannot go and ask solicitors to give him cases to plead ; a medical student who has won every honour and medal the faculty could bestow upon him, cannot solicit patients to employ his services ; and young divines, burning with eloquence, can not command the use of a pulpit, or enforce the attendance of a congregation. But a writer, without any breach of etiquette, may go and pester every publisher and editor in London to provide a market for his literary wares ; and he must be singularly unfortunate if he cannot find any one disposed to give him a trial. Indeed, the facility with which any new recruit can get enlisted into the army of journalism is one of its defects as a permanent trade. Anybody may enter it when or how he chooses. We writers may conceive ourselves to possess an 'extraordinary aptitude for pleading a case, or curing bodies, or convert ing souls, but we can no more go and argue a case in court, or perform an operation, or preach a sermon, than we can fly without wings. But any barrister, or curate, or surgeon, or, for that matter, any apothecary, attorney, or minister, may come and poach upon our premises to morrow ; and if he can but hit his game, his services as a literary sportsman are as valuable as ours. But this accessibility of journalism to all corners, though it depre ciates what we may term the net value of the calling, offers great attractions to young men in search of a pro fession, who have neither connection nor opening. No doubt if a man chooses to commence his literary career by writing epic poems, or . five-act dram as , or phil osop hi cal t re atises, he may be a long time, whatever his merits are, before he finds a means of making his voice heard ; but if he produces such articles as are fitted for general con sumption, he will have no difficulty in finding a purchaser. Anybody, for instance, w ho want s emp l oyment as a journalist, has really nothing to do except to write letters to a paying new spaper on any subje c t o f pass i ng i nterest; and if his letters are good enough to secure insertion, he will be certain, sooner or later, to have the chance given h:rn of trying his hand as a professional writer.—St Pa u is lm)vEwrisioiENT.3—Da Barry's Delicious Health Restoring Revslents, Arabica Food, which contains three times the nourishment of the best meat, saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebletl, removing' speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), habitual constipation, diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervous, ness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, catarrhs, colds, influenza noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, erup tions, hysteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, pal pitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cram; s, spasms, nausea, and sickness, sinking fits, coughs, asthma, bronchitis, incipient consumption, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach, between the shoulders, &c.
