As this work strikes at' the root of the doctrines of Christianity, it is the more incum bent on every one in a responsible situation to raise their protest against it. " Horn Virgilianze" is a disquisition on pastoral poetry that will suit the classic reader. "De Motius" concerns the exclusive state of society in Germany. Public opinion has declared against it, it is said, and ( 6 public opinion, working doggedly its own way, must and will win its hard fought fight. " Country Newspapers" is an amusing article that contains humorous sketches of pro vincial celebrities. the article concludes by express ing the opinion that in a short time all the newspapers in the country will migrate to London. This is considered a drawback, for it is said "London litera ture s is capital in its wa y , but we shall miss th e amazing d e s ky \h .v e i This lelixatmraoaor absurd fdsiurnrarr notion led him to the commission of man y crimes, and was the extraordinary mea to ie stupidities, scen t country and no newspapers. less a m amazin g ` ` , Playing eccentricities a t Soldiers" d t i h e r e s, " b is a s o osv üb e rtr obtain n tall adopted c uu m s ey k h e ng i n h F h rre i e s dceo a r an o er r t bt icle cause of suicides and murder , The several accounts of the peculiar modes adopted are v ery entertaining in their way. There is a smart sketch by Ed mund Yates, called "Lady Greatheart's Store," which will serve to enliven a dull hour, swivieri rm and we meet with some short pieces in verse which are of average merit, and form an agreeable variety to the nume rous collection of prose articles which abound in this periodical. GOOD WORDS.—Good Words is, as usua l, full of interesting matter, and shows more variety in i t s contents than many more ambitious contemporaries. An unpublished paper by Edward Irving, a story by An thony Trolloppe, a poem by Gerald Massey, essays by Dr. Caird and Dr. Guthrie, and contributions by the editor, are among its principal papers. The illustrations are numerous and effective, and its general style so good that we are not surprised at the large circulation it has obtained, NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL contains its usual quota of information, which renders this little serial so useful to all connected with, or interested in any way with, the progress of invention as applied to the arts.

That wily little deceiver is vtry aptly sketched, and it would be well if all such unworthy plotters against the peace and fair fame of others were thus caught in their toils. The little imp Jacky also deserves notice, and his zeal in hunting up and spying out Jenny was worthy of a better cause. Jenny is said to be still fit for work ; therefore on another occasion we may be entertained with some more accounts of her little innocent ways and insinuating manoeuvres. " Wylder's Hand" becomes more and more mysterious in every number. It is impos sible to fathom its secrets, or follow in the wake of its stealthy plotters and dark schemers. Stanley Lake is now in the ascendant, and comports himself in a very strange style. Rachel is in some very heavy trouble about some thing, and Stanley refuses to assist her. On the whole, this complicated tale will furnish a fund of entertainment to the lovers of the mysterious and the romantic. It is not exactly of the sensation class, but rather appertains to ths school before it, and which demanded a higher tone of com position than its more showy but less solid substitute. "Irish Harvest Homes and their Minstrelsy Fifty Years Since" is an entertaining sketch. It brings before us a picture of old days that is always tlesirable to notice. Some previous papers in this periodical described the dances of Ireland, and this very suitably follows. "A Fire-side Gossip about Ghosts and Fairies" presents the reader with some very readable legends of these strange visitants. It is said that these little anecdotes haw) been told with a good faith that deserves more attentionwthan the rappings and other phenomena of the professional necromancers of the west-end drawing rooms. "Tamar Land" is a pleasant little sketch. " The Financial Position of Federal America" contains much that deserves notice, and might with advan tage be studied by the nation to which it refers. The Right Hon. Sir Sohn Laird Mak Lawrence, Bart., K. 5.1., G.C.8., who has been appointed Governor-General of India, was born in India in 1811, so that he is of nearly the same age as his distinguished predecessor. He is a younger son of the late Colonel A. W. Lawrence, by Letitia Cathe rine, daughter of the Rev. George Knox, of Lifford, in Ireland. He was educated at Londonderry School, and afterwards entered Haileybary. In 1829 he went to India as a" writer ;" in 1831 he became assistant to the chief commissioner and re sident at Delhi. Towards the close of 1833 he was appointed officiating magistrate and collector of Delhi. He held the same office at Paniput. In July, 1836, was joint magistrate and deputy collec tor of Goorgaon and Southern Delhi; and in the following November the office of officiating magi strata of the southern division only, In 1838 he was in the sole charge of the Goorgaon district, and conducted the settlement of the duties at Zillah Etewah. From February, 1840, till December, 1842, he took a well-earned leave of absence, and came to England. NEW NOVEL by the Author of "GRANDMOTHER'S MONEY."

Hurst and Blamtt, Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough street. The new Admiralty night signals, introduced about two years ago by Mr. W. H. Ward, were last night tested at the , flagstaff in Woolwich dockyard, in the presence of the com modore superintendent, Sir F. Nelson, C. 8., and other offi cers, in pursuance of instructions transmitted by Lord C. Paget, Secretary to the Navy. The signals since their intro duction have been in general use throughout the Mediter ranean and Channel squadron. Mr. Ward has now sug gested a slight improvement in the hoisting apparatus, in order to accelerate the issuing of signals and the facility of replying. The improvement consists of one hoist to each signal, which appears to save considerable time in the ope ration. A number of messages were last night transmitted through the fog, and the signals were witnessed on the river by Sir F. Nicolson, who went down in his gig for that pur pose, his position being made known by one of the signal lamps placed in the gig, and with which the signals were answered. One person took charge of the signal station and assisted the inventor in operating, which was done with the same facility as with the flags by day. By the improved ar rangement the work lines are dispensed with, and the sys tem is pronounced materially benefited and simplified. The lamps used last night were the small models employed by the Channel fleet in August, 1860.

One of the cold water cistern doors to the condenser cracked from contraction of the metal, but not so as to prevent the efficient working of the engine. A new door will be fitted and completed this week, and that cracked will be repaired, as a spare one. Steam was not up when the door cracked, the engines having bean stopped some hours previously and the steam blown off. The Malacca, 17, screw, Capt. G. H. Napier, dismantling at Portsmouth, is reported for paying out of commission,on Tuesday, the Bth inst. The Lyra, 9, screw sloop, 488 tons and 60 horse power (nominal) of engines, was taken out of Portsmouth harbour on Monday and tried at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, preparatory to commission. She realised a speed of 7.5 knots at full power, and of 5 . 060 knots at half power. Her draught of water was lift Bin forward, and 12ft aft. She is expected to be reported for commission by the sth inst. The commission appointed to inquire into and report upon the steam reserve departments at the different ports, consist ing of Admirals Sir Houston Stewart and Hon. Geo. Grey, with Mr. W. Hickman, Paymaster Royal Navy, as Secre tary, commenced their duties at Portsmouth yesterday, Rear-Admiral G. Elliot, superintendent of the dockyard, and Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding her Majesty's ship Asia and the steam reserve at the port, being the two chief witnesses examined. The Queen, 74, screw liner, Capt. Charles F. Hillyar, was inspected yesterday at Spithead by Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., and afterwards steamed into Portsmouth harbour, to dismantle and pay out of commission. The Resistance, 16, iron ram, Capt. Chamberlain, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday, on the conclusion of outfit, and joined the flagship of the Commander-in-Chief of the Channel squadron at Spithead anchorage. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty:—Commander W. H. Broad to the Ajax, Lieut. W. C. Kerslake to the Euryalus, Lieut. W. B. Bridges to the Rattlesnake, Lieut. A. G.

The following appointments have been made in the Royal Naval Reserve :—To be Lieut., Colin M'Dougal Stewart; to be Sub-Lieut,. J oseph Thomas Swain Green. THE ARMY. The new cavalry barracks erected upon St. John's Abbey Farm, Colchester, are now completed, with the exception of the drainage and water supply. The barracks will not be occupied until the spring. The contractors' workshops are being removed to another spot near at hand, in anticipa tion of the early commer c3ment of a fresh block of buildings. The first of the four rifle.d guns, weighing 20 tons each, manufactured at the Lowmoor Works, to the order of Capt. Blakeley, for the Russian Government, was tested at the Royal Ordnance butt at Woolwich on Monday. The proof charge consisted of 501 b of powder and a cylinder weighing 6001 b, which was fired two rounds, according to the proof regulations. The result was satisfactory. HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS (From the Registrar-General's Weekly R6turn.) There were 1,442 deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday, a number which is not very different from those of the two previous weeks. The deaths of young persons was less numerous last week, but tliose of the ola show an increase, which, however, is not considerable. Fifty-four persons died at the age of 80 years and upwards, of whom 11 were nonogenarians. The mean temperature of the air, which had fallen to 41.6 deg. in the second week of November, rose to 48• deg. in that which followed, and last week it was 47.9 deg. The air was humid as well as warm. The deaths were nearly a hundred less than the corrected average. The births were more numerous than the deaths by 496. Bronchitis was returned in 155 cases, pneumonia in 92. The former disease has varied little in the last three weeks; the latter declined last week. The mortality of both complaints is below the average. Phthisis was fatal in 157 cases. There were 19 deaths from smallpox, 25 from measles, 112 from scarlatina, 70 from typhus. There appears to be an outbreak of measles in Islington, where there were seven deaths from it. The following sub-districts returned each four deaths from scarlatina :—All Souls, Marylebone, Kentish-town,lslington East,Haggerstone West, and Pop lar. Five castle of scarlatina were recorded iu Hackney-road sub-district, and five in Limehouse. Last week the births of 1,011 boys and 927 girls—in all 1,938 children—were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1853-62 the average number (corrected) was 1,901. METROPOLITAN WATERS IN NOVEMBER, 1863. The waters used in London during November, according to the analyses of Dr. Robert Dundee Thomson, F.R.S., are much more impure than in the preceding month. The purest of the Thames waters is that of the Grand Junction, both in respect to total and organic matter. The New River is more pure than usual. The Kent water is not solely from the chalk, but contains surface impurities. It is much to be regretted that this water is not kept uncontaminated. The water of a well at Dulwich is quite unit for domestic use, as it contains much sewage, Total impurity Organicim. per gallon. purity. Well at gre. or deg. grs. or deg.

Prospectus fro, on appli i cation at No, 135, Regent-street, W;—[Apyr.] BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—The editor's new story of the fortunes of John Law, the bubble financier of the last century, proceeds rapidly. The prologue is terminated in this number, and well it may be, Sr the catastrophe which concludes it is of a wholesale nature. Beau 'Wilson, driven to frenzy by the taunts of the idlers at the coffeehouse, poisons his wife and attempts to kill Law in a duel. In this effort he fails, and is mortally wounded---living just long enough to be convinced of his wife's innocence. The usual article on French Almanacks for 1864 is given, and an old acquaintance, Dudley Costello, proceeds with his story of " Mr. Grimshaw's Little Love Affair." " Two Upsets in Wales" is the title of an amusing sketch,showin g how all is well that ends well ; and the fifth part of " Six Weeks at Hunsdon Manor" will delight the lovers of the startling and terrible. Monkshood contributes a disquisition on the Oliver of "As You Like It," and the extraordinary vicissitudes of the life of Madame de Bran denbourg form the subject of an interesting sketch. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY.—A new story is begun in this part, and the first instalment is of considerable length. We doubt, however, whether it will replace Mrs. Wood's interesting though melancholy tale. Sir Nathaniel discourses on the character of the Em peror Julian, surnamed the Apostate, from his attempt to resuscitate the old forms of pagan worship. Die principal characteristics of this writer's essays is the variety of quo tations and references which he contrives to collect from authors, ancient and modern, English and foreign. Cyrus Redding gives us some reflections on the strife between Poland and Russia. The story of " Strathmore" is con tinued in the author's alcustomed style, which is too high flown and highly-colotred to suit most English tastes. There are several other papers, among them an amusing sketch of " A Boarding-school down South." COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE.--There is a memoir of General Wolfe in this periodical which eminently deserves attention, and will be sure to repay perusal. He is described as a " brave soldier, who had the peculiar good fortune to die on the field of battle in the moment of victory, with the universal love of all who knew him." There is a carious incident mentioned in this memoir that is sad to reflect upon. " Lieutenant Macculloch, the officer according to whose suggestion he first conceived the idea of turning the French flank by seal ing the heights of Abraham, died a pauper in Marylebone Workhouse in 1793. Credat Judceus." " Gambia Colony" and the " Civil War" is concluded. •' Curiosities of Naval Literature" contain many subjects sf interest. "Memoirs of Admiral Washington" does full justice to his zeal and abilities. "The Recollections of Campaigning in Spain t " No, 2, are as interesting as their predecessor. We have another instalment of " Greenwich Characters," the Pro posed Congress, and the Political Crisis in Europe. A paper on the French Ironclads, in the Editor's Portfolio, shows that our neighbours' ships have not been more suc cessful in a gale than our own. The General Naval and Military Register and Obituary, with the Stations of the British Army, and General Naval and Military Intelli gence, complete this number. THE VICTORIA.—The most interesting feature in the Victoria Magazine is the continuation of Mr. Adolphus Troilope's story of " Lindisfarn Chase." The heroine, Kate Lindisfarn, is placed in a most awkward and painful position, ewing to the promise of secrecy which she has given to her newly-disco • vered cousin. She remembers that the fact of his exist ence renders her no longer one of the heiresses of Lindis fern, and that, consequently, she appears to Captain Elling ham under false pretences. She therefore feels bound to reject the proposal which, she feels sure, awaits her, and she is left sitting on theLindisfarn stone in a very unenviable state of mind. Her sister, less honest and straightforward, is tempted by no such scruples, but is evidently anxious to get her love affair satisfactorily settled before the fact of this unwelcome cousin's existence becomes generally known. The characters of the two sisters are skilfully drawn, and well contrasted with each other, and the different results of a highly-finished Parisian education, and a simple country training, are displayed to full effect. " Shall we Conquer China," is a question propounded and answered by Mr. Meredith Townsend. He considers that, with our work in India so incomplete, and with the Chinese quite able to take care of themselves after their own fashion, we should do wrongly as well as rashly . in spending our energies in China. "Every pound of force expended in China is half a pound subtracted from India; every merchant who pre fers the broader field, takes a source of wealth from the nar rower one ; the able man who goes to rule liwang-tung, might have made Chittagong a garden; the very judges who would make Shanghai secure for commercial men, are sighed for with bitter longing in Benares and Nagpore. The Government of India needs more railways, more roads, many canals, buildings without end, officers without num ber." He asks whether we, who are responsible for the destinies of India, should give all these things to China, while leaving our own subjects in want, " A Journal kept in Egypt," by Nassau Senior, is pleasantly continued ; and a more adventurous writer penetrates into the recesses of the Waldensian Valley, and records a visit to La Grande Chartreuse. TEMPLE BAR.—" John Marchmont's Legacy" is, of course, the chief feature of this serial. The story has nothing exciting in this instalment, but, on the contrary, the record of the present stands still, while the narrative picks up the dropped links which bind it to the shadowy memories of the past. Mary's story is a touching picture of miser Y —n ot l ou d , b ut deep. It brings before us one of those histories of the crimes of the strong and the sufferings of the weak that more than anything else awakens the pity and arouses the indignation of man, Nothing can console one after dwelling on this sad topic more than to behold the retribution that overtakes Paul Marchmont. That fearful man spent a solitary day at the deserted farmhouse, that day that was to be the crown of his triumph, as diverting Edward from his search for his wife, beheld him dreary, desolate, and well-ni g h dis tracted. It must take many a , triumph in the st rugg l es o f sin, many an excited m oment of success, to make up for one hundreth part of the tortures undergone by the wily de • ceivers when they are ca u g ht at last in their own snare. Self is the last company the guilty . can desire, and there is no greater punishment for a man like Paul Marchm on t th an t o leave him to his own reflections. like' Trials of th e Tred golds" is continued a t somo leng . th, and bec omes more momen tous in its inciden ts. It is a lugubrious tale, and nothing enlivens it. young Gifford's marriage only gives rise to fearful scenes, and his father threatens to give him up to the laws ho has outraged. Noel is taken to the lunatic asylum to see his mother, but death has provided for her a rest that the sleep in such abodes can never know. In the next portion of this tale there will very likely be some stirring scenes, as William Moyle is doing his best to a rouse the youth's indignation against the d es t ro yer of his mothe r. This is a very eventful tale, and the several exciting scenes are drawn with great force, while the characters are powerfully described in their seve ral styles of villany and treachery. " The Streets of the World" is the commencement of a series of papers by George Augustus Sala, which have been entrusted to the care of Edmund Yates, who has succeeded his friend in the editor ship of this periodical. The . papers present us with the same life-like touches and brilliant sketches which have before this made the writings of Mr. Sala so remarkable. The place here under notice is Marseilles. " Renan's Vie de Jesus" is a summary of that work. It may be observed that it is not considered in these pages with quite sufficient decision. It is incumbent upon those who put forward such statements as those of M. Renan, to accompan y them with some expression o f di sse nt. It is said that " criticism is not our fa s k, ,, b u t every publication that takes note of a work hag El right to pronounce ju d g ment u p on its merits, and SPORTING INTELLIGENCE CROYDON STEEPLECIT.A.SES.-TUESDAY.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Dec. I,—To-day there was a very large business in yarn, and the market became very excited. The contracts entered into for all descriptions of export yarn were very large, at prices fully ld. per lb. above the rates of last Friday. To-day a very marked change has come over the market. The alteration for the worse in the money market, acting upon the cotton market at Liverpool, has been sufficient to counter-cut the effect of recent telegrams from Calcutta an d Bomba y , g ivin g veryencouraging accounts of the trade in those markets. Buyers to-day who hold very extensive orders, which they were desirous of placing, have been induced to withhold them through the prospect of money becoming dearer. There has been no business at all for India, and the market generally has been dull. In cop yarns for the home trade there was a large business, at an advance of fully id. per lb. on Friday's rates yesterday, but to-day we have had an extremely quiet market, with scarcely any inquiry for any description. The cloth market has been fully as much affected by the change as that for yarns. Yesterday we had a considerably better feeling than last week. There was an active inquiry, which resulted in a good business for shipment to India, and a much heavier trade could have been effected had the goods which were principally required been in stock, and available for export. Prices were again somewhat higher, and in deed sellers report that the rates obtained yesterday ware fully as high as any ever yet charged during the cotton fa mine. To-day, however a sudden check has been given to this improvement, and a feeling of gloom pervades the mar ket. Buyers seem to have suspended operations by common consent. There have been inquiries, but they seem rather to have been for the purpose of testing the decline caused by this sudden change in the market than with a view to business. We close to-day with a very small amount of business, and with but few offers making. Manufacturers would doubtless be willing to make considerable conces sions to secure business, but buyers hold back. The impres sion is apparently strong, both with buyers and sellers, that prices will be lower. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. re port—" The improved feeling which manifested itself yes terday has to day quite disappeared, and our market pre sents rather a gloomy aspect. The business has been oto the most limited scale, as buye rs a pp ear q uite in operate." LEEDS, lat.—The markets in the cloth halls ha b ve b er e s en vm o s f an ordinary character to -day.

NOTTING HAM, Ist. — Th ere was a good attendance at thi s E xc h ang e-hall to - day . Sellers asked higher prices for lace yarns , - wh i c h buyers were not willing to give ; nevertheles s a moderate amount of business was done, and the extreme rates of Friday were fully made. There was an improved demand for hosiery yarns, and rates had a tendency to ad vance. In silks there was very little alteration. The inquiry for brown nets was slow, at recent quotations. ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH REVOLUTION.— The 29th of November last, being the 33d anniver sary of the Polish War of Independence of 1830-31, and having fallen this year on a Sunday, a high mass was celebrated yesterday in the Polish chapel, Hatton-garden, by the Rev. M. Chwaliszewski, for the repose of those who perished in that memorable struggle, The service was attended by the Polish refugees, among wb.out were Rveral Msb ladies attired in very deep mourning. Hitherto Mr. Lawrence was chiefly known as an administrator of Customs. In 1846 he obtained his first reputation of a high class as magi strate, and collector over an importnt a jud d g % "rictof a S out h er n Bengal, Sir Hen r y Harding° heard of him, and took a fancy to him, and henceforth his car eer was a grand success. In 1847 he was ay pointed commissioner of the Trans-Sutlej provincesafter w hich had been added t o our Indian empire the Sikh campaign. He reduced to shape the poli tical, agricultural, and fiscal systems of these pro vinces with such masterly power as at once to stamp him as a man of mark in administrative ability. After the assassination of the British envoy at Mooltan, and the subsequent hostilities which even tuated in the capture of Mohan, the union of Shere Singh and Chucker Singh, the thorough defeat of the Sikhs by Lord Gough at Ferozepore and Goo jerat, and the annexation of the Punjaub to the In dian empire of Great Britain by Lord Dalhonsie, Mr. Lawrence was chosen, in company with his dis tinguished brother, Colonel Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence, the Resident at Lahore, and Mr. Marsh, to form the board for administrating the affairs of the Panjaub—a territory of 50,400 miles, 314 miles in length, and 293 in breadth. How Mr. Lawrence, by his wise rule, by his justice, by his mercy, in troduced an admirable system of government into the Punjaub—how he disbanded the Sikhs, and persuaded many of them to enlist into the British service—how he raised an irregular force of ten re giments for the protection of the Western frontier —is known to all the world. The Punjaub was an_ example of the success of British systems of go vernment and civil institutions. In 1856 he was made a civil K.C.B. " for his services in the Pun jaub, and as agent to the Governor-General for the North-Western provinces of Hindostan." During the Indian mutiny we saw the result of his great a dministrative genius—his firmness tempered by clemency. The Punjaub remained signally faithful to us. In 1857 Sir John was created a G.C.8.; the following year he was created a baronet, and was sworn of the Privy Council. On his return to Eng- ' land, so great was his popularity, that be received the freedom of the cities of London and Glasgow, and was honoured by a vote of thanks from Parlia ment. He was created a Knight of the Star of India in 1861 with Lord Clyde and Lord Harris. Sir John Lawrence married, in 1841, Harriette Katherine, daughter of the Rev. Richard Hamilton, and by her has had issue three sons—John Hamil ton (born in 1846), Henry Arnold (born in 1848), and Charles Napier (born in 1854)—and five dangh tera. GOLD IN WALES. A tourist, writing on the depreciation of geld, says—During the last 12 months it has not unfre quently happened that the question of gold in Wales has been discussed over the dinner table, and the conflicting opinions that have been expressed have certainly seemed most puzzling. Here and there some one has been found bold enough to assert that gold producing mines were actually being worked at a high profit in Cambria, but for the most part the whole effair has been pooh-poohed as an ideal absurdity, while a few have been heard to say that although it was a well known fact that auriferous ore existed, yet this circumstance was of no prac tical value, because the expense of obtaining the small quantity of precious metal it contained was so great as to render it useless to think of work ing it. I was, therefore, glad of the opportunity afforded me of judging for myself, and I can only say that for the future, if ever the subject is again discussed in my presence, I shall be able to assert from the evidence of my own senses-1. That gold abounds in Wales ; 2. That with means already at their disposal, mine proprietors have produced con siderable quantities of the precious metal; and 3. That when the appliances of advancing science shall have simplified and other wise improved the modus operandi, it is next to impossible to over esti mate the results. The mine to which I would make earliest reference (for I saw three) was, I was told, originally a copper mine, and is still called the Vigra and Colgan Copper Company. It is situated about five miles from Doigelly, and in the direct road from that place to Barmouth. An ordinary traveller would pass by without observing the little road that leads up to the mine.

The ,in tegrity of the Danish monarchy is seriously threk:- toned by the attempt to tear from her th e Duchy of Schleswig , which forms one of the finest orna ments of this crown.

We doubt not that this question will came before the German Federal Diet, which certainly might be misled to attribute to itself the power of dealing single-handed with the fate of a non - German country.

Herr von B contain ing the following passages : "However greatly the signature of the London Treaty may be considered to deserve regret, pru dence and the dictates of honour forbid our per mitting any doubt to be entertained of our fidelity to its stipulations. We require, however, its equal observance by Denmark. The Treaty of London and the arrangements of 1851 and 1852 must stand or fall together. Abnegation of their stipulations would remove Schleswig from the position she oc cupies in virtue of the treaty. "The Government must reserve to itself the right to determine whether, and at what period, we may be placed in a position, by the universally undoubted non-fulfilment of her obligations by Denmark, to free ourselves from the London Treaty. It can neither leave the decision to the Federal Diet, nor enter into more explicit explanations upon the sub ject here. "We have come to an understanding with .Ans tria, which secures for the present our iden lical attitude with regard to the Treaty of London and its consequences. " We consider that in the duchy of Lauenburg King Christian is entitled to the succession, icicle pendently of the treaty, but that his title to Hol stein rests upon the London Treaty and the arrange ments of 1851 and 1852, which we believe to be intimately connected. "As long as the Treaty of London remains in force, the reasons for carrying into operation the Federal execution, determined by the resolutions of the Ist of October, condone to exist.

Mr. Christian, one of the vice-presidents, in the chair—a paper was read by- Mr. Penrose on the proposed adoption of the French system of weights and measures. Mr. Penrose ob served that in the last se ssion of Parliam ent a peti tion was presented from the council o f the Institute of British Archit ects, in favour of the bill for the session, he a d o ption of metrical measures, and as the bill would b e introduced again in the ensuing thought it desirable that the members of th e insti tute should reconsider the question before they com mitted themselves to the r ecommendation of that plan. He said they must a ll agree it would be of great advantage that a uniform sur es should be introdu d system of mea sures , to do away with the many anomalies at present parts of the country, and existing in different among different trades. If, by the interference or Parliament, unifor mity could be obt • lament, such aln ed it the present mode of I would greatly simplify ealcul- ,- in favour, also, of .Ltons. He was strongly adopting might be so sion its devised as not to produce much confu sion first introduction and, when the public became famil iarised fcity with it, would afford great to the calculations. With regard, howev er, metri in all cal on system, he thought it objectiona ble several a accounts. The metre, which is equal to 39.37 English inches, h e co nsidered too large ft S tandard for general purposes, and its adoption in this country would involve the us e of a greater number of figures in dealing with the quantities Usually required, and would thus complicate instead of facilitating computations. The standard of the metre was adopted in France on the assumption that a it represented a fixed mea sure of a given part of meridian of the earth's surface, from which there could be no deviation; but the assumed figure of the earth on which that standard was bd is now o considered to be erroneo us ; therefore, the reason ' for its adoption no longer exists. In the plan, of decimal measures proposed by Mr. Pen. ' rose, the present eighth part of an inch would. form the standard. Ten such parts would con.. ' stitute a foot, which measure, to avoid confusion, b e • called a " span." Three spans would make one y ar d measure, which would then closely approximate to ▪ the metre. He explained at some length the opera. ' tion of such a mode of measurement, to prove that it would very muc h simplify all calculations, an. iN wo uld be less of a chan g e from the pr ' present 11 E1 1 ) 4 1 ' than the introduction of the metrical system.
