'SOCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This Society derives its origin from the following cause:— That, notwithstanding the operation o f th e p oor l aw an d the numerous existing charitable associations, human beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die Miserably of hunger and the want of the common neces saries of life. To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so tksgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first iinstance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases, as legitimately telong to them alone, to aid the police ar.d the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to brinr s to the c are o f h osp i tals, refuges, peni tentiaries, and exir,ting charitable associations those cases for which their ofaveral i nstitutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the cl ergy --ministers of all denominations, medical T , rofession, ar agents of any existing Society, will be relieve d as far as 'Possible by th e ju di c i ous app li ca ti on o f funds . entrusted to di strict committees and local responsible perrx,na appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or o &Ler wise at the central office. , the The pr omo t ers o f thi s movement now so me forward not ' in any s pi r it o f oppos iti on t o existing s Jcieties, but, on ,perate with and assist Contrary, with the strong desire to co-c ley, with such praise them in the arduous task in which t 'worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. They now claim to be met in. the spirit in which they advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex- Penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now 'whi ch r.all upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds, shall be applied, with ou t th e smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has raised op a new Th oblem which taxes the ingenuity of social philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for the sanctity of its domestic ties, it appears unaccountab'e that so many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation, and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock had passionately loved each other. If the inquirers intone cause of this mystery had consulted the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional theories, they might probably have had less difficulty in arriving at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school, and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by medical men, poison the very well-springs of life, and produce many of the disappointments witnessed in the connubial state. It is a matter that deeply concerns the well-being of thou sands who have no idea of the danger that threatens them. Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there be not something in his past life which admits of the possi bility that he himself may be concerned, either at present or prospectively. jn the subject. Science and experience, founded on professional stuay, nay e nappiiy uiseov ertu of relief ; but it is important that care be taken in selecting the quarter from whence assistance is sought. Dr. LA'MERT is the only legally qualified pnctitioner on the Medical Register who for 20 years has exclusively devoted himself to the treatment of a peculiar class of infirmities incidental to youth and maturity. A fund of valuable suggestions and in formation is contained in his well-known work on the Cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, which may behad, price ls., or free by post for 13 stamps, from Mann, bookseller, 39, Cornhill ; or direct from the Author, who may be daily con sulted from 10 till 3, and from 6 till 8, at his residence, 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON.

The address from certain members of the House of Commons to Lord Palmerston, on the subject of retrenchment (a copy of which has already been given in The Sun), was last week forwarded to his lordship, in a letter bearing the signatures of Mr. R. W. Crawford, Mr. E. Mines, and Mr. C. Bux ton. The noble Premier acknowledged the receipt of the address in the followbg letter to Mr. Craw ford : 94, Piccadilly, Jan. 30. ".My dear Mr. Crawford,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of the letter signed by yoirself, Mr. Baines, and Mr Buxton, which transmitted to ne the memorial addressed to me by some members of the liberal party in the House Commons, who have generally ar.pportel bier Majesty's Government. I beg to assure you that lam much gratified by the friendly spirit in which this memorial has been drawn up ; and I entirely concur in the opinion it conveys, that a due regard to economy should be observed in making arrangements for the public services of the nation. It is the duty of the responsible advisers of the Crown to propose such establishments and such estimates as, according to the best judgment they can form upon the knowledge they pos sess of the general state of affairs, may appear to them to be requisite for the interest and security of the empire ; and it will be the endeavour of her Majesty's Government so to perform this duty as to obtain the approval and support of Parliament and the country.—My dear Mr. Crawford, yours sincerely, " PALMERSTON..

As there is a call for retrenchment, it may be as well to mention that a committee of the House of Commons sat last session to inquire whether any reduction could be effected in the miscellaneous expenditure, and that they took the evidence of several official persons, and recommended that the inquiry be resumed this year. To this committee, Mr. Laing, then Financial Secretary to the Trea sury, made a statement of the increase in the civil expenditure of the kingdom. Having first of all explained that items amounting in round numbers to £1,500,000 a-year have within these few years been transferred from the consolidated fund to the estimates to be voted annually by the House of Commons (of couse, constituting no real increase in the expenditure), he proceeded to say that he had carefully analysed the estimates for the last 12 years, with a .view to ascertain the actual real in crease, and he found that in 1859 the " miscellane ous" civil expenditure had risen to £2,225,000 more than it was in 1848. This increase is accounted for and more than accounted for, by the following seven votes :—For education, science, and art there has been an increase of £930,000 a year; for extra ordinary buildings, such as the Houses of Parlia ment, telegraphs, and public works of that sort, £660,000 a-year ; for ordinary public buildings, parks, and works, £157,000; for harbours, 127,000 ; for law, justice, and police, £332,000 (the county courts causing above £200,000); for consuls and the diplomatic service, £75,000 ; ar d for superan nuations, £89,000. There is also the cost of the packet service, which has increased by £400,000 a , year. Mr Laing had to add that though items amounting to £1,500,000 had been transferred from the consolidated fund to the estimates, it would unfortunately be a mistake to expect to find the charges on the consolidated fund less by £1,500,000 a year; the reduction there is now only £BOO,OOO. The cost of the collection of the revenue has also increased by £300,000. These items together make an increase of £3,500,000 a year in the civil expen diture since 1848, making the civil charges range between £10,000,000 and £11,000,000 a year, and the cost of collection of the revenue £4,500,000. The committee took some evidence with regard to these great items of increased expenditure. In reference to the education vote, Mr. Laing pointed to the enormous outlay in England upon the edu cation of pupil teachers and schoolmasters, but upon this whole subject we must wait for the report of the Education Commission, which cannot now be much longer delayed. Several witnesses were exa mined upon the subject of public works and build ings, and there was a strong opinion expressed, and adopted by the committee, that as the office is not political a permanent commissioner of works should be appointed, and that all public worsts (excepting those for naval and military defence) should be placed under this department ; Lord Llanover assured the committee that the saving by such an arrangement would be immense. The charge for furniture for the public offices is very high. Such items were instanced as one of £2,404 in a year for carpet beating and van hire, and " that perpetual moving of furniture which there is in public offices from one place or room to another." Mr. Austin, the secretary of the Office of Works, said that sometimes demands for new furni ture are made very frivolously, and he acknowledged that he did not see any reason why the furniture supplied for the use of clerks in public offices should be so superior to that in an attorney's office, or in the chambers of a special pleader or conveyancer; as he added—" One knows what the furniture there is." Sir H. Willoughby stated that (besides on the average £lOOO a-year for its general repairs) there had been spent since 1825 no less than £75,000 upon the repairs of the Embassy-house at Paris, and Mr. Austin being asked to account for it could only say, "I do not know how it is." With regard to har bours, Mr. Whitbread, as Lord of the Admiralty, made a very moderate suggestion ; he stated that at Alderney stone is taken out in barges and dropped into the water 120 feet deep, and for nearly half a mile there is no apparent work above the water, and, said he, " I should wish to have an independent measurement taken of that, in order to verify that the pier, for which wo have paid, does really exist there." At Holyhead, he remarked, the projection into the sea is apparent, but strange changes have been made there owing to the cold and warm fits of Parliament. A foreign engineer of eminence men tioned to Mr. Hawkshaw, the controlling engineer, that be had been in vain endeavouring to ascertain on what principle the elbow of the breakwater was of an inward instead of an outward character, and Mr. Hawksbaw was obliged to tell him that it was not founded upon any scientific principle at all, but that there was a desire at one time, with a view to economy, to stop the work at a given point, and afterwards Mr. Bendel urged the extension of the arm for the sake of getting further anchorage, and this caused the zigzag character of the work ; but the result was a great increase in, the expenditure. These statements will , ~~~~d Xf :Ll TILE NA Vl'. The appointment of Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., to the supreme command of the Cape Station, the duties of which, although one rous, are less harassing than those of Controller of the Navy, continues to be the subject of much in terest in naval circles. Until about three or four years since, when Rear-Admiral Sir F, W. Grey was appointed, the ships in the district of Sierra Leone were under separate control. Now the entire western coast of the continent of Africa and a large portion of the eastern coast are under one flag, which also controls the Island of Madagascar, St- Helena, Cape Verd, &c. The screw steam frigate Narcissus, 51, selected for the station in preference to the Euryalus or Phoebe, 51, will, it is confidently expected, be what is termed a " happy ship," of which the alacrity exhibited by first-class able sea men in joining her gives conclusive evidence. Among them are 120 picked . men from the crew of the Royal Albert. Perfect concord exists between the Admiral, who is a practical seaman, and the Captain, who was previously commander of the guardship of steam ordinary Indus, 78, on board which his expeiience in steam navigation was of much value. Although a strict disciplinarian, Capt. Risk is highly popular. The officers have been selected after much consideration. Commander Alexander Philips, late First Lieut. of the Ariadne, was promoted on his return from America with his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. A son of Rear-Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley, is Flag Lieut. of the Narcissus ; he left the screw steamship Cressy, 80, in the Mediterranean to take his present ap pointment. Her gunnery officer, Lieut. William Codrington, is spoken of as possessing superior abilities in gunnery practice. Mr. John F. Loney, the master, was at the head of a Government depart ment at Hongkong. Among the cadets is a son of Sir Baldwin Walker and the Hon. Mr. Cadogan, son of Lord Chelsea. Her complement of officers and men is 540; she is only 20 men short now. The Narcissus in many respects is more capacious than a line-of battle ship; her storerooms are larger than those of the Hero, 90. The Narcissus was several years on the stocks, and while building was lengthened in the stern for the reception of the screw. She is 228 feet long between the perpendiculars ; the length of the keel for tonnage is 193 ft. ; breadth, extreme, 51ft. tin. ; for tonnage, 50ft. Bin.; moulded, 49ft. 10in. ; depth in the hold, lBft. 4in. ; burden in tons, 2,336 ; length over all, 259 ft. 6in. The poop deck, erected in consequence of her present appointthent, contains cabins for the captain, commander, and the private secretary to the Admiral. On the main deck there are accommodations for the Admiral and his family, and a cabin for the servants. Like the St. George and Aboukir, the lower deck of the Narcissus, which is very roomy, is fitted all round with three tiers of racks for seamen's clothes. The racks are divided into , square compartments for bags, which have square pieces of wood at each end. Over the racks are convenient shelves and sockets for mess traps and utensils. The frigate's armament now includes five Armstrong guns—viz., one pivot 100-pounder forward, two 40-pounders, and two 25-pounders, the last of which can be used for service in boats. Two only of her broadside guns, 32 pounders, ere re moved, and the 68-pounder pivot gives way to the large Armstrong, so that her armament is much more powerful than at first, as all the 8 inch guns, 10 in number—viz. ; -eight on the main deck and two on the quarter deck—are retained ; the others are 32-pounders ; 51 guns in all. The engines are in aharge of Mr. Wm. Gill, previously of the screw mortar ship Forth. 12 ; they are what are termed horizontal direct-acting engines, and are constructed by Messrs. Ravenbill, Salkeld, and Co., of Black wall, upon their improved plan, which is very com pact. The machinery cccupies less space, especially in the upper part of the hold, and it is said is more easily approached for adjustment, alteration, or repair. The space thus economised in a hold of 18 feet 4 inches deep secures ample working room for the engineers—an advantage much required in several of our ships of war, those "converted" especially. The stokehole, 42 feet 8 inches long, is also open, and the hood above, for carrying off dust and securing good ventilation, is extended through its whole length, and diminishes only where it approaches the main deck. the ven tilation is carried up immediately outside the smoke funnel, which by its heat promotes the circulation from bulkhead to bulkhead. The entire space occupied by the engines and stokehole is 62 feet 4 inches. The engines are of 400 horse power nominal ; diameter of cylinder 64 inches, length of stroke 3 feet, pressure on safety valve 201 b. The engines are supplied with rotatory expansion gear, by which the steam can be cut off at any portion from 1-10th to 5-10ths of the stroke. The engine room is furnished with Suffield's telegraph for prompt communication with the quarterdeck. The Narcissus is to be propelled by Griffith's screw (right handed), and takes a spare fan on the same principle, which can be keyed into the socket in case of the loss of or injury to an original fan ; by this arrangement the necessity of encumbering the ship with a second screw, as with other kinds, is avoided. The diameter of the screw is 17 feet, and pitch 18 feet 6 inches. The screw shaft is 92 feet long, and 13 inches diameter. The funnel (telesco pic) is 51 feet forward of the mainmast ; it is 50 feet high from the furnace bars, and 6 feet 4 inches in diameter. The furnaces are to be supplied with some kind of smoke-consuming apparatus, the plans for which are now under the consideration of the Lords of the Admiralty; it will be accomplished, we believe, by jets of steam. The quantity of coal which can be stowed in the bunkers is 300 tons, and the estimated consnmption 42 or 43 cwt. per hour, so that her store will last about six days. The bunkers are below the waterline, but between them and the ship's sides there are wing passages all round for easy access to plug shot holes when in action. The frigate draws 20 feet forward and 21 feet 10 inches aft; an immersion which no doubt gave increased power to her screw. The Narcissus is fully rigged, and on the trial evinced an inclina tion to pitch a little when encountering the ground swell caused by the late gales. The screw steam gunvessel Penguin, 5, tender to the Narcissus, is commanded byLieut.C.G.M'Hardy, late second on board the screw steamship St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Capt. T. P. Thompson. She will scarcely leave England before March, and is appointed to twitch first at the Island of Ascension, to meet Rear- Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Keppel, K.C.8., in the screw steam frigate Forte, 51, Capt. Edward IV. Turnout. After passing the control of the Cape Station into the hands of the new Commander in-Chief, Admiral Koppel will proceed to South America, where he will hoist his flag, in succession to Rear-Admiral Sir Stephen Lushington, K.C.8., who will then return to England in the paddlewheel steam frigate Leopard, 18, Capt. James F. B. Wain wright. Mr. E. H. Greenway, cadet, takes passage in the Narcissus to Ascension, where he will join the Forte, for transference to the screw steam frigate Curagoa, Capt. Augustus Phillimore, on the South American station.

A Maine correspondent gives the following ac count of the state of things in the seceding States : The cotton states are in the hands of the mob, and a reign of terror has been fully inaugurata there, precisely like that of the old French revolution, except that little blood has been yet shed, and this is only because no one has yet ventured, except in secret, to utter a word against the rebellion. If any persons should speak in opposition to the pre- vailing madness, immediate death would follow. Forced loans of money, and supplies of food, are imposed on the wealthier classes, who are compelled to submit under threats of confiscation. And many such persons are sending off their families, secretly, to the North, They dare not do it openly. All business is stopped there ; and while the mob is moved by a demoniacal rage, and rushing on to destruction, the better classes are dumb from fear, and secretly implore protection from the Govern ment, which, alas, is not yet rescued from imbecility. The history of the world has never yet any page such as this will be. Many, many times, in many lands, and in almost every age, men have risen in rebellion against despotic Governments—the move ment being of the people in favour of liberty, and for the love of it, as against oppression. But this rebellion arises at a time when the country is more prosperous, rich, and powerful than ever it was before ; as prosperous, peace:ul, and happy . as any nation ever was in any age; and all in the interest of oppression. The rebels clamour against liberty and freedom, and in favour of slavery worse far than any other that the world has ever seen. The rebellion is of masses, and not of the property classes at the South. The people run madly, blindly about the streets crying out against liberty and in favour of slavery. They are ready to die for slavery, and to resist the privilege of being free. Great distress prevails at the South. They are deeply in debt to the North, and now have no credit, no money, and very little food, not enough for four months' supply. They have already sent to Chicago and New York for flour, and the answer is, " Send first the money." The South raises but little food, and this year they lost their crops ; while at the North all the crops were better than ever before. The State of South Carolina issued 400,000 dols. in bonds, on which to raise money to carry on the war. An agent went to New York for the money, and the answer was this :—" The bonds arc not worth so much as the clean paper was before it was printed." Immediately after that came the forced loan of 400,000 dole., and compulsory payment of a summarv'tax on every slave. This act struck down at once the value of slave property 50 per cent, and in many places indeed made it utterly worthless. A great many people have slaves, sometimes many of them, but very little money. The slaves are hired out annually for an annual sum, the, owners living on the wages up to the full amount. When the tax was imposed, a great many slaveholders could not pay without selling their slaves, and thus a great many slaves were thrown upon the market for a forced sale—at a time too, when the entire community was in a state of utter confusion, and all industrial employments at an end. The policy of South Carolina has always been to fo3ter and encourage slavery ; and as one means of doing this, slave property was taxed not more than one-eighth of its just proportion. This sudden im position of a very heavy tax on slaves of itself had an effect to alarm all slaveholders, and to render that species of property nearly worthless. In some places at the South slaves cannot be sold at all. The only hope of success which the rebels have is in prompt action. Even without opposition they cannot hold out six months, for an absolute want of money end food. In the meantime, everything goes on at the North as usual, except that business is dull, but not so much so as it was in 1857.8, and already it begins to revive. Maine, January 13, 1861.

The death of Mrs. will excite a lively feeling of regret in a great n 1r of readers, who are in debted to her for many pleasant hour. She died on Tuesday last al T .I, Lyndhurst, after a week of severe suffer, )f her ptirsonal history, little more is known to the public than that she was the wife of Charles Arthur Gore, of the Ist Life Guards ; that at the time of her death she had attained the age of 61; and that she was one of the most brilliant women of her time, whose talk over flowed with epigram and jest, and whose most com monplace remarks were more witty than the best wit of others. Her literary career is better known, although she departs from among us at the time when it is least appreciated. Her descriptions of fashionable life are not so highly estimated now as. th e y were when that species of novel had a certain amount of originality, nor as they will be hereafter, when, through the mere lapse of time, her dcscrip lions will attain somewhat of, the dignity of histo rical pictures. For the moment we are tired of fashionable noTels, and inclined perhaps to under rate the great mistress of the art. littt if any one will sit down quietly to consider what Mrs. Gore has done, and how she has done it, he cannot escapl fi h a r s v t i i p lg l a a c e v , e h r h th er writings. She has written from 60 to 70 differen t e y e w ex il a l lt b ed e o s p tr i u n e io k n w o i f t h b e t r b p e ovi m 'e a r s s s . ct l f n works, extending to nearly 200 volumes. It is a little library in itself. Her various publications fol lowed one another with inconceivable rapidity ; sometimes at the rate of one volume a month. A t h i o t a re i afpocslml play, catalogue of her books—most of them written at utmost speed—would fill this column. But thv most remarkable point of all this fertililiate that in the 200 volumes there is scarcely to biltrund one dull page. Mrs. Gore's wit was inexhaustible. It might not always be wit of the highest order, but t re of ypn e ,raatra:i comparisons vyselwnoeorr quantity at e so okf a rg u t eo : neb h ht eahtpehaenwtdoitrhteuwr compo si t ion h n s o wrs o dager i- : For the most part it took the form of simile; but swift that she kept the reader's attention at a very high level of activity. Whether she wrote a poem always above mediocrity. And then for the matt., —it was interesting while it was newiluid it vri,W be interesting again when it is old.. Some futnie Macaulay will turn to her pages for a perfect pic ture of life as we find it in the upper crust off society. Every phase of it which it was possible for a woman to handle she has depicted with a minute fidelity which has all the merit of a first-rate I collection of photographs. What can be more lifelike and true, not to speak of brilliancy, than such novels as " Cecil" and " The Hamiltons," in which she displays to the height all her happy art S of pourtraying character and describing manners F uch tales as these will always find readers; but , though we mention them as among her masterpieces, one may take at random any of her works, from her first, " Theresa Marchmont," published in 1823, to her last, which, we believe, was "The Two Aristo cracies," with the certainty of finding in them clear cut portraiture, the most lively narrative, and wit in profusion. It has been objected that she adopts with too much sympathy the tone of the society which she paints, and that her ideal of life is not lofty enough. This is but a disparaging method of stating a fact which from another point of view may be regarded as a merit. Most women are apt to take the high poetical view of things, and to mea sure mankind by a constant reference to this standard, so that their heroes and heroines are either angels or devils. Their aspirations are very beauti ful, but they are also very deceptive ; and Mrs. Gore avoided them in order to teach the homespun, use:'ul lesson of contentment. She took men and women as they are, and the tenour of her philosophy is that good and evil, happiness and misery, are very evenly distributed in this world. The man of domestic habits fancies himself, as he sits by his fireside among his children better than his neigh bours and happier than a king. The king among his courtiers fancies himself a god, and wonders how the poor man can be happy eating bread and cheese with his squalling children. It is a world of com pensations, aneMrs. Gore had the good sense to take it as it is, sympathising with high life as other writers have sympathised with low life. Whether she were right or wrong, however, in this, the general effect is that her pictures are all the more faithful, and have thus a permanent historical value over and above the mere pleasure which they are capable of affording. Her works will often here after be referred to as those of the best novel writer of her class and the wittiest woman of her age.— limes. CROUP. Our readers are aware that we have at different timcs touched upon the subject of this dangerous disease, describ ing the most recent endeavours of distinguished practi tioners to rid the trachea of the false membranes which encumber it, either by mechanical or by chemical means. Dr. Ozanam has now communicated to the Academy of Sciences a series of numerous experiments made with diffe rent chemical agents not hitherto tried, and from which we select the following :—The chloride of potassium dissolves the false membranes completely in 24 hours; chloride of sodium in 36 ; a solution of one-hundredth part of bromide e membranes n f e potassium brroa ei: e : n o f the is m i nw potassiuma course e of in 12 hours;ortwoed powerful a s. m x The l tsvtri sub and bi carbonates e l . O ofbrnoe p mian d m bm n r of chromate of potassium in 10 of water will harden the of potash, in concentrated solutions, Will dissolve the membranes in 12 hours. Phosphate of soda is less active ; the cyanide of potassium in. a concentrated state will dissolve the membranes in 15 hours; pure glycerine NA 11 soften them in 24 hours; but the mother-water of wrack soda will effect a complete solu tion in four or five hours. Dr. Ozanam concludes from him experiments that, if it be intended to attack the membranes by dissolvents, alkalies should be preferred ; and from what we have quoted above it will appear that the sub-carbonate and chlorate of potash and the phosphate of soda, so long advocated, are the lowest on the list in point of efficacy. If, on the contrary, segregation or separation be aimed at, then chloride of bromine, bromine itself and chlorine, or else iodine, perchloride of iron - end chromium, should be resorted to, since they harden the membrane and make it detach itself. These conclusions acquire great value from. the fact that Dr. Ozanam has been pursuing these researches since 1849. He quotes a singular instance of a cure which occurred in 1860. A country physician having in a case of croup attempted to cauterise the false membrane by stick caustic, the patient somehow or other swallowed the whole piece. In an agony of terror the practitioner forced a con centrated solution of kitchen salt (hydrochlorate of soda) down the patient's throat by way of antidote ; and, to his surprise, not only saved him from the effects of the caustic, but also cured him of his croup by the same simple remedy.

CAMBRID GE WRANGLERS.—Anon, Malthus and Richar d rorson become man-marks in the tripos ; and a fter "Joe Littledale's" seniority in 1787, quite a spring tide of wrangler success sets in for the lawyers, with Lynd hurst, Tindal, and Wensleydale. Two bishops become seniors in turn ; and then four judges, Pollock, Langdale, Alderson, and Maule, in five successive years win the same honour. Herschel, Peacock, and Fallows make up a bril‘ liant first three ; and the Duke of Devonshire, Airey, Whewell, Goulburn, and Adams earned their Commence ment cheer as senior or second. Among the Optimes, we find Thirlwall, Praed, the three brothers Kennedy (all heads of the classical tripos), and Lord Lyttelton and Vaughan, the most famous bracket that Cambridge ever knew.
