I? liF STAMPED, ~..2d CAMBRIDGE AND SCIENTIFIC STUDIES. The Duke of Devonshire in his official capacity of Chancellor of Cambridge, • has placed at the disposal of that learned academical body a very magnificent gift. His grace has offered to en dow a professorship and demonstratorship of ex perimental physics,. as recommended by the Physical Science Syndicate, and also to provide the funds required for. the building and apparatus, so soon as the University shall have in other respects com pleted its arringeinents for teaching experimental physics, and shall have approved the plan of the building. This splendid offer conies appropriately from au illustrious duke who was also a Senior Wrangler, and con stitutes a noble commentary, not merely on the recom mendation of the Physical Science Syndicate, but upon the speech recently delivered by l'rofessor Lyon Playfair, of which the disastrous consequences of popu lar ignorance in scientific subjects formed the key note. With the new opportunity of scientific study that Cambridge will now , have, new rewards for scientific proficiency will certainly be offered, and it may be hoped that one of the effects of these re wards will be to directly to encourage and to stimulate science in schools. It is also to be hopedthat the initiative which the Duke of Devonshire has taken in the case of Cambridge will be taken by the Government in that of of the country at large ; a recommendation also made by Professor Playfair.—Globe.

His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, chewing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. " Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or woman to take ap a new volume ; and if Mr. Evill does not add distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. . . .Tile book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette.

As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun.

He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. • " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evil's book is not the charm of rt ,, velty, and it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describeS minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing - terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery described, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News.

During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones.

TILE ALHAMBRA PALACE, LEICESTER-SQUARE. - At the Middlesex Sessions, soon after the sitting of the court, it was rumoured that further proceedings would take place with respect to the refusal of a license to the Alhambra Palace for dancing. About eleven o'clock Mr. Digby Seymour (with whom was Mr. Sergeant Sleigh) applied to the bench to be allowed to - address it, and gave reasons why it should allow him to apply for a rehearing of the case. This led to a very long discussion, an 1 finally Mr. Pownall moved that on Tuesday morning Mr. Digby Seymour should be heard, which was put and negatived.--A sub sequent motion was made by Mr. Donald Nicol that Mr. Digby Seymour be then heard, which was put and carried.—Mr. Digby Seymour then addressed the Court, and urged that the representation given of the dance in question in the publication was au exaggerated falsehood, and ought not to have influenced the Bench. He urged also that the dance complained of had been per formed at various theatres, and no objection whatever had been mged against it. He reviewed the proceedings which had taken place at the Alhambra for years past, and trusted that the Bench would allow the case to be re-heard. Mr. Serjeant Sleigh also addressed the Bench in support of the application. Mr. Pownall hoped the Bench would adhere to their former determination, and moved that the Court do proceed to the next business. The Chairman put the motion, which was carried unani mously. ASSAULT.—Henry Harrison, a stableman, living at No. 48, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, was brought up before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at Marlborough-street Police-court, charged with being drunk, and assaulting Police-constable Milsom, 101 C. The constable said he was passing a stable in Mount street on Saturday afternoon, when, hearing a female crying, he looked in, and saw the prisoner striking his mother. He asked the prisoner if he was not ashamed of himself. The prisoner abused him, told him he had no right in the place ; and on his taking hold of him, his mother having given him in charge, he struck him twice, and in a struggle which took place between them, kicked him sewral times... A lamplighter came to - his assistance, and _helped to hold prisoner, and on another constable coming, he took him to the station. In reply to Mr. Tyrwhitt the constable said the prisoner's mother was not present. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remarking that it was fortunate for the prisoner that his mother was not in attendance, fined him 40s. or a month. ENTICING BOYS FROM THEIR PARENTS.—EmiIy Brown, a laundress and hawker, aged 36 years, was brought before the Thames Police-court, upon remand, and Charles Brown, her husband, for the first time, charged with being concerned in unlawfully decoying and taking away from the lawful custody of his father, William Francis Chesterton, a boy under 14 years of age, and also with inciting him to rob his parents of three blankets and two sheets, which the female prisoner pledged. Another lad, named Myers, who i 3 above 14, was also in duced to leave the home of his parents, very re spectable people, by the artifices of the prisoners, and while travelling towards Essex-street, Whitstable, whither the boys were directed by the female prisoner, be accidently broke a tradesman's window with a stone he hurled at some men who stole his apples. For this he was taken into custody by a police-constable, and sentenced by a Greenwich police magistrate to 14 days' imprison. ment. 'This brought the jourey of the two lads to a standstill, and Chesterton returned to London alone, and after a variety of adventures, ultimately reached his parents. The lad Myers confirmed the statement of Chesterton. Mr. Myers said he had occasion to summon _ _ ----- the female prisoner to that Court in July last for detain ing some linen ho had entrusted her to wash for him, and it was ordered to be restored. He believed the woman had enticed his son away from home out of a spirit of revenge. He carried on business at No. 13, Hereford place, Conunercial-road, and Mr. Chesterton and his family lived in the adjoining house, also numbered 13. His son was 14 years of age in March. Mr. Chesterton said his son would be 14 years old on the 28th of next December. Mr. Paget said one lad was within the statute, the other was not. He remanded both prisoners until Friday next. The prevalence of the foot and mouth disease in certain parts of north-west Yorkshire has led to the sup pression of the fairs. In the North and East Ridings, adjoining the Dement, the disease has begun to fail. The outbreak among sheep on the wolds has not spread at all. The work connected with the inspection of the farms in Somerset and Dorset has become so heavy that the county constabulary find it almost impossible to con tinue it. Loss OF FIVE LlVES.—Abant five o'clock on Thursday morning the inhabitants of Bude were alarmed at the intelligence that a vessel had gone ashore in the heavy gale then prevailing. Shortly after the alarm had been given the coastguard and rocket brigade with the rocket apparatus arrived at the spot, and three rockets were fired. The last reached the ship, but no advantage was taken of it, and shortly afterwards a man swam to the shore: Ile brought intelligence that the vessel, which went to pieces by the next tide, was a French logger, called the Modeste Jeanne, Jean master, of lltons burthen, belonging to Benin, near Nantes, and that besides him there were four men (including the captain) and a boy on board, all of whom perished. RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN A TUNNEL.—An ex traordinary accident occurred on Friday night in the Stanedge Tunnel, on the Manchester and Leeds_ branch of the London and North-Western Railway. Though, fortunately, no loss of life occurred, considerable damage was done, and the accident was of a very alarming character. It appears that a goods train, with a number of waggons laden with salt, had left Crewe and was on its way to Leeds when, at eleven o'clock at night, it reached the tunnel, which is about midway between Manchester - and Huddersfield. The tunnel, which is a single one, is the longest in England ; and when the train had got about the middle of it, an axle of one of the salt waggons broke, and the waggon fell on to the line. The result was that those behind, which were also laden with salt, rushed on, and were, of course, smashed to pieces. About forty or fifty tons of salt were thrown into the tunnel, and that circumstance, with the shattered waggons, effectually blocked up the line. The delay to mail and passenger trains was con siderable. - CHURCH DispirrE.—The Rev. A. S. Prior, vicar of St. George's, Wolverhampton, with his churchwarden, Dr. Collins, applied to the magistrates sitting in petty ses sions in that borough for a warrant to eject from the school-house and premises John Kenney, the parish s&molmaster. The application was made by the Town Clerk of the borough, and it was opposed by Mr. J ose p h Underhill, of the Oxford Circuit. The schoolmaster had taken the popular side in the Ritualistic dispute that has been for some time raging in the parish, and three months ago he received notice of 'dismissal, s i g ned b y the vicar and Dr. Collins, who, with the people's warden, are the trustees of the school. The people's warden was not present when the resolution was come to, and he joins with the majority of the pewholders and parishioners, by whom Mr. Kenny is being defended, for no complaint whatever has been urged against the schoolmaster, and the school is admitted to be in a state of efficiency. After a trial lasting four hours and a half, the ina,gistrates found that there was a specific contract, and they therefore refused to grant a warrant of ejectment. Their worships, at the same time, declined to grant a case. The decision was received by fe crowded court with prolonged applause. ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. A meeting of this society was held yesterday, at Rooms, Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Belcher in the chair. There were also present Captain J. It. Fittock, Vice- Admiral Askew, Rear-Admiral E. Barnard,• Commander T. Wright, J. M. Chase, Esq., (Navy Agent,) Captain William - Gardener, Pa}•master A. Ellis, and Admiral Goldsmith. The balance sheet, from Ist July to 30th September, chews the receipts to be £l,olB 9s. 7d., and the expenditure £5OO 15s. Id., leaving a balance of £517 14s. 6d. The Capital Ac count _ was shewn to be stock in 3 per cent. Consols, £37,664 Bs. ld.; the Northumberland fund, £5,671 195.; in Exchequer bills, £3OO. Donations to widows and daughters of deceased naval men were awarded to the amount of £43o.—Admiral Barnard said they might express their thankfulness that they had had no applica tion from anyone belonging to . the unfortunate ship Captain. At the same time he might add that not one of the officers of that unfortunate ship was a subscriber to this institution. — Mr. Chase said, although the widows of the men lost in the Captain would be entitled to increased pensions, it would be some time before the necessary Admiralty forms could be gone through iu order to obtain them ; whereas that institution would afford immediate relief.—The Chairmain said, in his opinion, it would be improper for that institution to grant any relief, looking at the lax manner in which the general fund was being managed. In some cases two or three mothers, and in others three or four wives came forward as claimants. if they came in a clear and tangible shape, so as that they might be able to distinguish the right claimants, it would be a different thing. Seeing, however, the pre carious manner in which things had been dealt with in connection with the Captain fund, he would have nothing to do with it.—The subject then dropped. MID-SUll REY ELECTION UNOPPOSED RETURN OF SIR R. BAG (ALLAY. The nomination of a knight of the shire for the repre sentation of the division of Mid-Surrey in Parliment, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the accession of Mr. Broderick, one of the late members, to the peerage as Viscount Middleton, took place yesterday morning, in the Volunteer Drill Hall, Kingston-on-Thames. Mr.NV. F. Wat son, High-Sheriff, presided, and was supported .biseverAl of the supporters of Sir Richard Baggallay, Q.C., Solicitor General under the late Con'servative administration ; but as the hon. Knight was the only candidate in the field, the attendance of electors was exceedingly limited, and there was au entire absence of excitement. Mr. Penhryn, in nominating Sir it-Bac - gallay, regretted than an election had been rendered necessary, believing that the period during which their late member had repre sented them was too short, both for his credit and their advantage. Questions of great moment were before the country at, the present time, questions concerning the peace of Europe and questions concerning the defences of England. It was important, therefore, to send men to Parliament who, without factiously opposing the Govern ment, should take care to strictly watch the proceedings of those into whose hands such vast interests were committed. They had recently had two ministerial utterances relative to the present positicn of affairs : they had hack a very able logical treatise from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and an excellent historical essay from the War Secretary ; but he ventured to find fault both with the logic and the history, inasmuch as the logic had failed in what was its important element—to carry conviction with it ; and the Secretary of SI ate, while proving conclusively enough for his own satisfaction that the defensive forces were bufficiently strong to protect England against any invasion . contemplated by one country, seemed to have forgotten a Plge - in recent history, and to have ignored the existence . of the Bismarck-Benedetti treaty. (Applause.) The present war on the continent was a disgrace to civilization in the nineteenth century; and as they could be hardly satisfied with the declaration of the Go vernment, they ought to be represented, as he believed they would be by Sir lt. Baggallay, by a man of boldness and ability, whose special care should be to see that all the requirements for the safety of the country should be amply met. (Applause). Mr. Cazenove seconded the nomination, remarking that an exaggerated ConserVative was an unmitigated Tory, but that was a class which was happily extinct. (Hear, hear and laughter). Sir R. Baggallay having received the belt and sword, and having been declared duly elected, was loudly ap plauded. He said his first duty was to express his cordial thanks for the honour they had conferred upon him, for he could not imagine any honour more grateful to the heart of an Englishman than to be called upon to serve as one of the representatives in Parliament, the county in which he was born, and in which he had resided for the best part of fifty years. They had passed in that country during the last three or four years through periods of great political controversy, vast questions affecting the interests of England, Scotland, and Ireland had been from time to time before the public mind, and had caused great agitation. Happily, those questions were now, if not set at rest altogether, at any rate settled for a time. He believed that opportunities would be afforded during the next two or three years of dealing with ques tions of great domestic importance. It was almost a dis grace to their present state of civilisation that so little was known regarding the best method of carrying into effect the sanitary requirements of the population. The unequal manner in which rates pressed upon the several portions of the community would also require the con sideration of Parliament, and he believed he was right in stating that it was the intention of the Legislature to intro duce a measure with the object of removing the existing inequalities. But there was another sub ject which had been ventilated, hertofore, and was deserving of every attention. They were aware of the great extent to which their poor-rates had of late increased, and he believed there was no greater evil in the country at the present day than the large number of idle and mischievous poor throughout the length and breadth of the land, no greater cm s• 3 upon the honest working man than the operations of this class of individuals. (Applause.) That was a question which must receive the full atten tion of Parliament at art early period. He . would only add that he accepted the offer to come forward as a candidate with the full determination to do his duty in the position to which they had elected him. On the motion of Sir R. Baggallay, a unanimous vote of thanks was awarded the high sheriff, and the proceed ings then terminated, having lasted scarcely au hour, and been of the most quiet de-cription throughout. An authoritative denial is given by the Home Office to the statement made in a report addressed to the Emperor of the French by the Director-General of the Secret Police of the Empire, that an agent of that body in . London belonged to the Metropolitan Police. THE SIEGE OF PARIS AND THE WORKING CLASS. —The Anglo-French Intervention Committee met for the Purpose of taking steps to carry out a resolution previously come to, "that a torchlight public meeting should be held to intimate - that on the bombardment of Paris another meeting should be held in Palace-yard, which would pko-• ceed to Mr. Gladstone's housa, to remonstrate against the delay of the Government in protesting against the bom bardment." There was considerable discussion as to the place of meeting, whether it should be wiLhin the railings of New Palace-yard, or the open space in Old Palace yard. Several speakers advocated meeting in Trafalgar square, but ultimately it was decided that the gathering should be at eight o'clock p.m. in Old Palace-yard. TEE CHANCELLORSIIIp LIP DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.— The appointment of another scion of the same plwerful Whig connection to the Chancellorship of the Queen's University in Ireland has formed the theme of cavil with certain Tory journals'. The Marquis of Kildare has been described as having no other claim to the exalted trust confided to him than the fact of his being the heir of his Grace of Leinster•. But this is not so. For many years he has been an indefatigable member of the Board of National Education which he has helped to vindicate against its numerous assailants with great good sense and temper. Lord Kildare is besides well read in national antiquities, to which he has devoted a great deal of time and cost, and of every species of art in Ireland he is known to be a sympathetic and discriminating friend. I only wish that any dozen of his order hi that country could be named who made as good a use of the oppor tunities of wealth and station. His wife is the sister of the Duchess of Argyll. —London Correspondent of the Man chester Guardian.. The representative body of the Church of Ireland have issued a report on the subject of commutation and com pounding by clergymen. They express their conviction of the safety of commutation to the clergy, while at the same time they believe that its resulting benefits will be rather moral than material ; and they see in its general adoption the only means of saving the Church from sinking into a purely congregational system. They estimate the value of a general commutation at 51 which will produce, at 4 pc?r cent., an annual revenue of £230,000, half the, actual amount of clerical income. The other half must be supplied by donations and subscription. Theßepreswi tad ye Body will consent to commutation in any diocese three-fourths of the clergy of which shall signify their to adopt it. Commuting clergy. , men shall have the privilege of compounding, on the terms of receiving, if sixty-five years of a..7•e, two thirds of the commutation money, one ninetieth of the sum being deduCted for every year below sixty-five ; this privilege being, however, contingent on the clergyman's life being insurable at ordinary rates. The claims of stipendiary curates and other exceptional cases will be considered en their merits. Four tables; calculated by the Govei nment actuary, Mr. Fin laison, are appended to the report, by which the clergy cab ascertain the value of their life interests and the relative advantages of the different courses open to them. At the last meeting of the Representative Body it was announced that the nations promised to the susteutation fund amount to £273,350, and the annual subscriptions to £18,650, of which there has been lodged in bank £145,700. THE IRISH A.M.BULINCE CORPS. The Freeman's Journal supplies a special account of the reception given to the Irish Ambulance Corps in France, which has attracted much attention in Dublin as throw ing light on the character the Irish contingent obtains at the " seat of war." At hall-past eight on last Thursday morning (says the Freeman) two bat talions of artillery and three companies of Garde Nationale assembled on the boulevard to receive the Irish Ambulance. At nine o'clock the trumpets sounded, the drums beat, and presently all the troops were on the march. On arriving at the Quay, the military, accompanied by an immense concourse of people, found the staff of the Irish ambulance iu attendance. As soon as the troops came in sight loud cries of " Vive l'lrelande," " Vice la France," broke forth on all sides. The enthusiasm was in describable. Each company passed into the tent in which the staff of the ambulance - was stand ing, and defiled • before them. Detachments of customs officers, of Gardes - Mobiles of the Oise, of Eclaireurs h Cheval, and of sailors, came successively to salute our brave allies. At half-past ten the authorities arrived." Then speeches were made by the Sous-Prefet and M. Siegfried, the former of whom declared his belief that this would prove the last war between crowned monarchs ;" and announced that "the affection of .the Irish and French people for each other was so great that it could. not become any greater. France accepted the help of Ireland as a matter of course—in the same way that ono old friend supports himself by another." Alderman McCann and Mr. Smith, of the Irish deputation, said— " Ireland is the sister of France, attached by historic ties. It was the Irish people's wish to separate themselves from the shameful indifference of the rest of Europe. The Irish would be with the French and for the French unto death." ACCIDENTAL POISONING. The Pharmaceutical Society has postponed, and con tinues to postpone the consideration of the regulations which it behoves it to make with the view of preventing accidental poisoning, whether by enjoining the use of fluted bottles, sand-paper labels, or prickly corks. Meantime calamities from poisoning by preventible accidents occur as much unchecked as before Parliament gave to these gentlemen their present monopoly. The last case of poisoning by an embrocation is recorded in the columns of their own journal, as follows :—" A widow 1 ady named Elizabeth Simpkins, who resided with her brother-in-law at Crewe, has lately died under the following. circumstances :—" It appeared that the deceased been a sufferer from rheumatism, and that for the last seventeen years she : had been in the habit of using an embrocation consisting of chloroform and aconite, pre pared by Dr. Dawes of Longton: About half-past one on the morning in question she awakened her brother-in-lave, and told him she had taken the wrong medicine . Medical men were sent for, but-on their arrival life was extinct." If any of the various mechanical precautions which have been recommended had been adopted in this case, it is more than probable that the accident would not have hap pened. Such accidents are so frequent, and the remedy has been so long discussed, that the policy of postpone ment might be supposed to have reached its limits.—Pal! Mall Gazette. It is raid that the ancient Irish Bishoprics of Ardagh and Clogher are to be restored, the latter by the munifi cence of the Rev. G. Porter, rector of Kilskeery, County Tyrone, son of a former Bishop of Clogher. Another Waterloo hero, in the person of Lieutenant Charles B. Bowers, of No. 31, Wilton-place, and Little Tew Lodge, Oxfordshire, has just died, at his country seat, at an advanced age. The deceased officer entered the army in January, 1810, and was wounded when serving with his regiment at Waterloo. COLCHLBTEtt ELECTION.—It is understood that Colonel Learmouth will offer himself in the Conservative interest as a candidate to supply the vacancy occasioned in the .representation of Colchester by the death of Mr. J. Gordon Rebow. The Liberal candidate is expected to be Sir T. N. Abdy. Colonel Learmouth contested. Col ehester unsuccessfully at the dissolution of November, 1868, when Sit; T; N. Abdy was also vanquished by the Conservatives in East Essex. TUNA TRI C A IT E 111,S.—M r. Ton Robertson has written a piece for Mr. Sothern, which will be played at the Haymarket at Christmas. It is called "Birth," and has already been tried last week at a new . theatre in Clifton. Mr. Robertson has written another piece, of the latest modern times, called " War," for the St. .James's.—Mr. Albery,- the author of the famous Vaudeville comedy, The Two noses," has written a •similar piece,' entitled " The Coquettes," for the Prince of Wales's Theatre, Liverpool. THE GREAT KRUPP G UN.--'W e understand from G.-errauy that the Prussians have abandoned the inten tion of bringing up to the siege of Paris the great 1,000- pounder Krupp gun (intended to throw a solid shot of 1,2121 b. or a shell of 1,0801 b.) which many persons will remember in the Paris Exhibition of 1867. The reason given is the weight of the gun, which is equal, including the carriage, to 65 tons; and this would be too great a trial for the temporary bridges and pontoons that would have to be passed. But the real reason probably is the untrustworthiness of the monster, which cost £15,750 sterling, occupied 16 months in construction, and has never, we believe, been fired.—Standard. VANDALISM IN EDINB UR very disgraceful and malicious act : was committed by some person at present unknown in the course of Wednesday night or Thursday morning. It was discovered that the statues of Sir Walter Scott and Professor Wilson had been painted over and disfigured with black and white oil paint, evi dently a wretched attempt at practical joking. The magis trates have offered a reward of £2O for such information as will lead to the conviction of the offender. It is to he hoped that the individual (who probably thought himself clever, but was only silly and stupid) will ere long b e caught . and, if caught, that he will be so punished as to deter others from doing the like in future.—Seotsnutn. SAD STORY.—AII inquest ties been held at the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, on the body of Clement Bailey, aged 20, who died in the prison. The de ceased was a' medical student, and had married a yonng lady whose parents were in a good position. Shortly after his marriage he took to drinking, and became in volved in betting transactions. An engagement at the Olympic Theatre was procured for him, and he was after wards tried and emnieted for stealing a gold watch and chain belonging to :Miss Nelly Jay, an actress engaged at that establishment. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and immediately after his removal to I prison he became and died in the prison infirmary from inflammation of the lungs. A verdict of " Death, from natural causes" was returned. rnon, iarles y, to 'inch, 1 ., of ister- Imes, ;ling• Esq., _- of in at the
