The Council of Legal Education have approved the folloxiog rules for the uublic examination of the students for Hilary Term, 1864. The attention of the students is requested to the following rules of the Inns of Court : As an inducement to students to propose themselves for examination, studentships shall be founded of 50 guineas per annum each, to continue for a period of three years, and one such studentship shall be conferred on the most distin guished student at each public examination; and further, the examiners shall select and certify the the names of three other students who shall have passed the next best exami nations, and the Inns of Court to which such students be long, may, if desired, dispense with any terms not exceed ing two, that may remain to be kept by such students pre viously to their being called to the bar. Provided that the examiners shall not be obliged to confer or grant any stu dentship or certificate unless they shall be of opinion that the examination of the student they select has been such as entitles them thereto. At every call to the Bar those students who havo passed a public examination, and either obtained a studentship or certificate of honour, shall take rank in seniority over all other students who shall be called on the same day. No students shallieeligibie to be called to the Bar who shall not either have attended during one whole year the lectures of two of the readers, or have satisfactorily passed a public examination. RULES FOR THE PUBLIC EXAMINATION OP CANDIDATES roil, HONOURS OR CERTIFICATES ENTITLING STUDENTS An examination will be held in next Hilary Term, to which a student of any of the Inns of o p • . OfbeCartin It ardate Is Oestrous per oTh6nourti ' or of obtaining a certificate of fitness f or being called to the bar, will be admissible. Each student proposing to submit himself for examina tion will be required to eat er his name at the Treasurer' s office of the Inn of Court to which he belongs, on or before Friday, January 1 next, and he will further be required to state in writing whether his object in offering himself for examination is to compete for a studentship or other honourable distinction, or whether he is merely desirous of obtaining a certificate preliminary to a call to the Bar. The examination will commence on Thursday, January 7 next, and will be continued on the Friday and Saturday following. It will take place in the Benchers' Reading-room of Lincoln's-inn, and the doors will be closed 10 minutes after the time appointed for the commencement of the examina tion.. The examination by printed questions will be conducted in the following order :—Thursday morning, January 7, at half-past 9,` on Constitutional Law and Legal History; in the afternoon, at half-past 1, on Equity. Friday morning, January 8, at half-past 9, on Common Law; in the after noon, at half-past 1, on the Law of Real Property, &c. Saturday morning, January 9, at half-past 9, on Jurispru dence and the Civil Law ; in the afternoon, at half•past 1, a paper will be given to the students, including questions bearing upon all the foregoing subjects of examination. The oral examination will be conducted in the same order during the same hours, and on the same subjects, as those already marked out for the examination by printed ques tions, except that on Saturday afternoon there will be no oral examination. The oral examination of each stadent will be conducted apart from the other students, and the character of that examination will vary, according as the student is a candi date for honours or a studentship, or desires simply to ob tain a certificate. The oral examination and printed questionswill be founded on the books below-mentioned, regard being had, however, to the particular object to which tho student presents him self for examination. In determining the question whether a student has passed the examination in such a manner as to entitle him to be called to the Bar, the examiners will principally have regard to the general knowledge of law and jurisprudence which ho has displayed. A student may present himself at any number of exami nations until he shall obtain a certificate. Any student who shall obtainn certificate may present him self a second time for examination as a candidate for the studentship, but only at one of the three examinations im mediately succeeding that at which he shall have obtained such certificate, provided that if any student so presenting himself shall not succeed in obtaining the studentship, his name shall not appear in the list. Students who have kept more than 11 terms shall not be admitted to an examination for the studentship. The reader on Constitutional Law and Legal History will expect the candidates for honours to be well acquainted with the Origin and Progress of our Laws and Constitution, as explained in chap. 3, part 3, of Hallam's History of the Middle Ages. Ho will expect them to be well acquainted with the chapters in Hallam's Constitutional History which give an account of the reigns of Henry VIII., of Elizabeth, the Stuarts, William 111. and Anne, with the State trials of persons eminent in our history, or remarkable, for any other reason, from the accession of James I. to the year 1747, with the history of the law of treason and the law of libel. All candidates will be required to know the leading events in English history from the Conquest to the accession of George 111. ; to have an accurate knowledge of the reigns of the Stuart Kings, of Magna Charta, the Petition of Right, the Bill of Rights, the Act of Settlement, and the Toleration Act.

Thiers upon the French loan, in the Corps Legislatif, on Thursday last— Gentlemcn,—l had intended, on the occasion of my first speech before you, to give you some expla- nations of the motives which decided me to appear once more within these walls, and of the line of con duct which it is now my purpose to pursue. But the moment is at hand when I shall have a better opportunity of doing this. To-day I come to speak of business and business only. I like this better ; for pcilitics may sometimes divide, but business I hope will tend to unite you. lam pleased to-day to have to speak upon a subject on which we have ideas in common,rather than one which might be irritating I come, then, at once to the great question before ns. We are asked for 300 millions to meet the expenses already incurred. It is money due that we are called upon to provide. Although this expenditue has been occasioned in great part by an expedition which I regret extremely—the Mexican expedition —that consideration in no way diminishes either our desire or our duty to pay the money owing. These expenses have become saddled upon the float ing debt, and have thus attained the character of a public debt. The question now before us is simply this—is it not desirable to transfer this liability from the floating to the consolidated debt ? But pari passu with this question there arises this other —ls it not incumbent upon usilitalte precautionary _ _ measures to prevent the floating debt from swelling again, in the course of a few months, to the same amount which you now think unsafe? That is the question which I propose to examine. Although I had rather not mix up politics with this discussion, yet I nay perhaps add a few words with the view of _ - recommending that this loan may have an essen- tially pacific character. If it were otherwise, com mercial transactions and even diplomacy might be very much damaged. (Cheers.) I shall endeavour, in the first place, to define as clearly as possible what the floating debt is. The word deficit, which is often used to describe it, does not precisely cor respond to the idea which I always had of the float ing debt. The floating debt is not even, as I under- stand it, a deficit. There is a deficit, when a mini ster, transgressing legal limits goes beyond his credit. There is a deficit until he has excused himself before you by the plea of necessity. Bat when once a deficit forms part of the floating debt it becomes a public debt. The floating debt is the aggregate of the deficits which have not been provided for either by taxes or loans, A simile will explain my notion exactly. Let us suppose that a rich banker doing a large business and having many correspondents, allows himself to be led into engagements beyond his resources. In that case he resorts to the expedient which is vul garly called making money of his signature. Well, just so the Treasury is a rich banker ; it receives from its correspondents considerable sums, which it applies to current expenses. To raise the surplus it has recourse to its signature and issues Treasury bills. Now, what are the limits within which, ac cording to the dictates of prudence, the amount of Treasury bills should be fixed ? Under the Resto ration it went as high as from 300 to 350 millions. Under the constitutional Government of 1830 it was sometimes 400, 500, 600, and 700 millions. The latter figures appeared to me excessive, and, fen' my part, I complained of them at the time. Under the present regime the floating debt has successively risen to 800 and 900 millions and even to a milliard. The latter has been the figure for the last two years. That is an amount calculated to cause uneasiness, and it is desirable that it should be reduced. Is it pos sible now to fix,with any certainty, the exact amount of the reduction which ought to be made in the issue of these bills ? No. But the example of the banks may furnish us with an approximative rule. It re sults from a series of observations that the metallic reserve of a bank ought to be about one-third of the amount of its issue of paper. This proportion, which in France is merely customary, is compelled by legal enactment in England. A sort of analogy applicable to the floating debt may be found from these data. The correspondents of the State are all the great public establishments. Their funds are all fused in one great bank, that of the State. That state of things is eminently useful, it is one which has been approved of by the most eminent financiers, and especially by the most eminent of all, ono under whom I had the honour to serve, Baron Louis. The receiver-general are obliged to deposit considerable sums with the Treasury, and always to be in advance witn it. There we have a fund of about 130 millions. The communes pay into the Treasury the resorces which enable them to meet their authorised expenses. There again, you have a fund of about 110 mil. lions. Then there is the Caisse des Consignations , the Caisse d'Essargnes (savings banks), and the army Caisse. Those are the correspondents of the Treasury, and they pay altogether about 630 million a year. This snm was far from being so consider able under former regimes, it has always borne a proportion to the march of affairs in the country. As the movement has developed itself and as the receipts of the Treasury have augmented, so this part of the floating debt has become more consider able, At this day the correspondents of the Trea- sury deposit with it from 600 to 630 millions, more or less—let us say 600 millions. If to this sum we add 100 millions of Treasury bills, that makes the floating debt 700 millions, I am well aware that the limit of Treasury bills is difficult to fix exactly. Between the maximum and the minimum there must necessarily be a certain margin. I think it would be undesirable to do away with the circula tion of Treasury bills; they are excellent securities, sought for by men of business, who have negotiable paper in their portfolio, and often also by family men who see in them a safe and readily convertible security. I should be sorry if the public were to lose the habit of investing in them. There is an other reason for keeping up Treasury bills—namely, that in given circumstances they may become a most precious resource for the State. I was a wit ness in 1830 of a most serious situation.' Our revo lution had provoked armaments throughout Europe, and France was necessarily obliged to arm also. We then passed through most difficult days—capi tal shrunk from the funded debt, and we were com pelled to have recourse to Treasury bills. In that way we raised several hundred millions. This re source ought then to be left to Government. But this resource must be prudently used, otherwise you will exhaust.it, and it will leave you empty. It is therefore necessary to fix limits. We propose the limit of 100 millions. Some may say 80 is the right figure, others 120; but at any rate I say this' that in ordinary times it is unreasonable to issue Treasury bills to a greater extent than 100 or 150 millions ; and if that limit be observed, the floating debt will be kept .within 700 millions. We are all agreed that the debt ought to be kept down to that amount, but we must efficaciously provide that that shall be so. If you devote 300 millions to the pur pose of reducing that debt from a milliard (which s an excessive though not an alarming amount) to 700 millions, it will not do that at the end of a few months, you should again find yourself saddled with the very same figure which you want to re duce. In this sort of mistrust, gentlemen, there is nothing offensive. No. I wish to say nothing dis obliging for the honourable members of the govern ment, but if I do not mistrust individuals I do mis trust the nature of things ? What happened two years ago P The floating debt had not then risen to a milliard. M. Fould desired to reduce it to a more normal amount, and I applaud him for it. At that tim e M. F ou ld hat: a great repugnance to a fresh inscription on the greai b ook of ;the public debt. I again praise him for tti: feeling. But it was indispensable to find resources. The Finance Minister appealed to the fundholders, and he asked from them the money which he would not have asked from a loan—he asked for the con version of the Rentes. I respect the motives which led you to vote that measure; but allow me to say what I think of the results. Conversion of Renter, when the time is ripe for it, is an excellent naea sate, but you ought to take very good care that the fruit is really ripe ; sometimes it is sour. A con version, effected under circumstances which do not naturally call for such an operation produces re• grettahie consequences, for the fundholders in the first place, and for the State afterwards. In such a situation promises are made and hopes excited which are not always realised. Now, what were the results obtained by this conversion, which, in my opinion, was premature ? The Finance Minister hoped that it would produce 300 millions for the Treasury, and in point of fact it only realised 157 millions. And to obtain this result you have left the interest of the debt exactly as it was before the operation, and you have augmented the capital by a sum of 700 or 800 millions. While making this great sacrifice of capital you have, I repeat, gained nothing on the score of interest. And as to the fundholders, who were promised that as a result of the unification of the debt they would soon see the Threes at 71, they find the average price for a long time past 67. But in this business there is a still I more serious deception. The 157 millions paid by the fundholders to the Treasury were all employed in the reduction of the floating debt, and yet a few months afterwards this debt was found swollen to the amount of a milliard. The example of the past ought therefore to induce us now to take precau tion§ What shpuld Jhoso precautions lak? have invented nothing. We have inquired of the law what should be done. Every year there is a financial law which limits the issue of Treasury bills, Article 18 of the Budget Law of 1854 fixes this .limit at 250 millions,'and an Imperial decree in due form, as I admit, has added 50 millions. That is the limit fixed by law as it at present stands. We think that now you have the loan this limit may be reduced to 100 millions. Well, what says the amendment which I and several of my colleagues have had the honour to present ? It demanded a legislative re duction to 100 millions. Of course in a matter of this kind we have no bigoted attachment to a pre cise figure, and I thought that if a larger sum would obtain the adhesion of the majority I would very willingly adopt it. I told the Government com missaires, when I was before the commitee, that if our measure seemed to them inconvenient they might propose another, and we would consider it, but that we could not possibly grant a loan destined to cover 300 millions of Treasury bonds now in circulation, and leave them at the same time the power to issue bills for the like amount in the course of the ensu ing year. I must confess that upon this head nothing satisfactory was said to me. After a conversation upon the exact amount of the limit which ought to be put to the issue of Treasury bills, M, Thiers concluded : I shall be told that lam mistrustful. No, lam not. But you most admit that this loan of 300,000,000 is a melancholy new year's gift for the country. There ought to be a consolation with it, and this is what our amendment proposes. . . As I understand the mandate I received from my electors, they desired me to support three things — public liberty, good finance and peace. The MINISTER OF STATE-'—We are all agreed on thatpoin t. SIERS—As to the question of public liberties 'l speak of that a fortnight hence. The :al question consists in the good direction of finaucu. As to peace. I declare myself a de cided partisan of it. (Applause on several benches.) Not of a peace which would injure our honour, for if that were in question, we who are called the opposition, would not refuse the Govern ment all the resources of the country. But under present circumstances, when I look at Europe, I see the possibility of ms king tremeadous mistakes, fatal mistakes perhaps: but I see no great French inte rest involved, unless peihaps in relation to the Danish question. France is mistress of peace or war at her pleasure, If any great events were to occur cur amendment would be no impediment, for milliards would then be wanted ; for, gentlemen, the next war will not he an isolated one, but, such general war that the present generation may, per. haps, not see the end of it or the consequences of it. (Cheers.) But I should not be sorry if our vote were to stand in the way of little wars, such as those of China, Cochin China, Japan, Mexico, and perhaps Madagascar. This is all I have to say. I will leave our amendment in the bands of the majo. rity to deal with it as they will, but we who have signed it have our responsibility and our conscience.

JOHN WHITE, Nanufsetura, 223, picoAdwy; THE DISTRESS IN BLACKBURN. The distribution of clothing has been continued with some vigour during the past week. Since the 11th inst., no fewer than 6,679 articles have been given to 939 families, or, in that number of cases embracing 3,579 persons, at a cost of £BO3 13s. 6d. This was ap to Wednesday evening ; on which oc casion the clothing committee heard 300 more cases, embracing 1,100 persons, and ordered a distribution of 2,000 articles to be made on the following day (Thursday). These articles were valued at £3OO. By to day, the committee will have distributed in all, since the commencement of this winter, 22,897 articles of clothing of various kinds to 11,969 persons, comprised in 3,069 cases or families, of an aggregate value of £3,498 7s, a portion of which has of course been contributed to them in clothing by the generous of the destitute in this period of the year to protect them from cold, by furnishing them with apparel of a good and substantial kind. The guardians of the poor relieved £4,337 persons be longing to the Blackburn relief district with £229 15s sd, against 4,439 persons with £232 7s 4d in the previous week; the labour committee relieved 612 able-bodied men employed at out-door work with £232 10s 3d in money and £43 16s 9d in kind, consisting of 74401 b. of flour and 9801 b. of oatmeal; the relief committee granted £4O 2s 2d to 125 needlewomen engaged in the making up of ar ticles of clothing and £l3 13s in money and £l5 5s 3d in kind (2,1601 b. of flour and 4801 b, of oatmeal) to 144 families not otherwise relieved, numbering 652 persons. In this way it will be seen that from all sources there were 87 fewer recipients of relief this week than last at a less cost of £4 4s Bd. The total expenditure of the week, inde pendently of the clothing department, was £575 5s id, of which £345 9s 8d was ex pended by the relief and labour committees and £229 153. sd. by the guardians, against £579 93 9d in the preceding week. The sewing schools were closed last Wednesday, but the committee have voted an additional sum for clothing, with the view to employ such of the needlewomen who required re lief for a few weeks longer in making up the piece articles at their own dwellings. It is very gratify ing to report that every family which has applied for clothing up to last Tuesday night, were on Wed nesday and yesterday supplied with such articles as the committee considered necessary.

Two shepherds were in charge of cno of the flecks of Mr. John Hassell, at a remote station. There was no other station within 20 miles of them. One afternoon, some time ago, one of these men while occupied in his hut. which was only composed of stakes and rushes, fancied he heard a groan at a little aistance. Going outside ho spin heard the sound of low moaning, and soon discovered his companion, Chas. Storey, lying insensible in. a brake, and covered with innu merable spear wounds, Carrying him on his back to tie hut, lie laid him on his kangaroo skin rug, washed and probed his wounds, succeeded in Extracting the Barb of a spear which was buried in his side, and ultimately restored him to consciousness. It turned out that Storey had been attacked by a band of natives who wished to seize the sheep. This was admitted by the native witnesses at the trial of one of the party for the murder of Storey, who eventually died of his wounds. The two unfortunate men remained awake all night— one in extreme pain, the other carefully attend in g u p on him. Next morning the natives surrounde ashe hut, and began throwing spears, which completely psed through both sides of it. Finding that they would be murdered, Edward Ladbury, the witness, who told the tale in simple, unvarnished terms, took his only weapons, hi s pocket knife and bill-hook, and boldly sallied forth. n o had covered the bill-hook with his coat, so as only to dis play the handle, which the n atives took to be a pistol, lie threatened to fire upon them unless they withdrew, an d after some deliberation the y eullonly retired. All ting that th day the h t Storey said ed h ni men mainefear of their return. Du f e lt better, and th ey resolved to endeavour to make their escape to Mr. Ilasselre next sta tion, 20 miles distant. At 2 o'clock in the Morning they s tole out of the hut. Edward Ladbur y was laden with their bedding and effects, and Storey clung to Lis arm. After crawling about 150 yards the Wounded said h e could go n o farther, and urged men Ladbury to leave him fate, an d save himself. to his It appeared to be almost imposs ibl e to rescue Storey, but Ladbury determined not co leave him to certain death.

Sere they remained a while, scarcely able ') tnogcrawl an y further. Ladbury could no longer carry Storey, but he managed to drag him along. After a miserable journey of two days and a night they reached Mr. Hassell's station at Jerrymungup, both of them nearly dead. The wounded man, after ne cessary rest, was sent forward in a cart to the hospital at Albany, where his sufferings were terminated by death. Few men have better deserved the Victoria cross than this humble shepherd, Edward Ladbury. What struck us most forcibly about the matter was, that his conduct elicited not a single comment or remark from either court, counsel, From w hich he are inclined to infer that such or jury. are far from singular or uncommon in this country. acts Fer our own part, we feel it to be only one degree lower than a crime to allow such an instance of generous self. devotion to pass without the tribute of applause; and, although in this, as in most other cases, virtue is likely to be its own reward, Edward Ladbury may return to his hard life with the consciousness that he has nobly earned th,e sympathy and approbation of his fellow-colo. nists.

There are, we suppose, some private detectives of a higher stamp; but putting these people aside, what do the detecti , res employed in a proper and responsible way, by official authority, really do ? We believe that the experience of all lawyers who have had much to do with the working of the criminal law is that the detectives do exceedingly little. The crimes which are found out, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, reveal themselves. The police merely conduct an inquiry which is perfectly obvious. A dead body is found, and the law sets a particular set of persons to make inquiry about it. The police ask simple questions of the people most likely to knew, and get answers which show who was the murderer. It is true that the police in such a ease discover the criminal, but this is merely he eguse the police are the persons paid to go through this easy process. If a crime has been committed of a kind to make detection complicated the police may obtain some clue by simply exhausting all the chances of finding something to guide. They have unbounded time before them; if they s ucceed, they are complimented and paid extra; it they f a il, they are still paid as much as their labour is worth in the market. They have also the prestige of the law to help them, and in most cases, in England, there is a general desire in the popula tion that the offender should be brought to justice. But they have not anything more, and if the concealment of the crime is such as to baffie the investigation of persons wh o are armed with the authority of the law, and can afford to take plenty of time in the search, the crime almost always remains undetected. There is no such thing, unless in very exceptional cases, as sending to London for skilled detec tives who, by so me magical art, can hunt out a crime un diecoverable by a decent set of competent policemen work ing in the ordinary way. The main use of calling in the services of London poli cemen is, that them y en sent skre most alkaattattAvirenlsra r untaa l ui t aet4," V fi,Y.: grois blunders a the out set. They erayebe use ul in pre venting the local authoritiesi from doing off the wrong scents and so losing time. But when they set to work, they can but work as all men of sense and experience would work in conducting such an inquiry, and have no special secret or art of their own. Then what can detectives really do? They can do two things if they aro masters of the business. They can catch, better than most men, a person supposed to have committed a crime; and, secondly, when they have caught him, they can deal with him better than most per sons can. Both these things are distinct from unravelling the secret of a crime. The detectives could not find out the clue to the Road murder; but if they had fixed reasonable suspicion on any person, and that person had tried to run away, they would have effected his capture better than any ordi nary men of intelligence could have done. This is partly from experience and partly from a natural capacity for a cting. A man accustomed to hunt criminals gets a general idea of what criminals are likely to do—what ports, for example, they are likely to embark at, or what are the most common devices for throwing suspicion on other people. Then, again, the detective has, or ought to have, a turn for acting, and a good deal of practice in acting. fie has the face and figure which admit of disguises : he can, in tech nical language, make up well; and when he is made up, he can behave as a person of his assumed character would be have. He can do at least as well as a fair farce actor could. He knows how to dress as a waiter, as a clergyman, as a commercial traveller, and he is tolerably at home in his dis guises. Wherever the fugitive is, he must, unless in soli tude or in a regular den of thieves, be among people inno cently pursuing the ordinary business of life, an d regardless of im isguard against exc e pti onal people who look engaged on special bu s i ness, and whose were special business may b e to catch him ; but he cannot be on h as if lie they is on h his guard against all the people who seem to bo doing on l y what they do every day, and to be going on with out any reference to him and his c rime. It is the part of the detec tive to pretend to be one of these people, and to act t so nun. turally that the fugitive is entrapped and in order act the part the manageable figure and d e t ec tive must have a face, and knew how to talk naturally, and be willing and the spur of the mo ready to tell a vast amount of lies on ment. Then, again, when the prey is bagged and the de tective has revealed himself as a detective, and has hi s criminal in his grasp, he often, from ex perience of criminal s , and from the general quickness whic h a life like his fosters, can deal with his man in a very effective way. He can, perhaps, read in the captive's face w h e ther he is guilty or not, and if he looks guilty ho can often make defence vir tually impossible by boldly accusing him of the crime, while beforehand the detective had no more than a general sus picion.—Saturday licrietc. ~~ ~y ~,:~,, ;+ ~ .~ UNIFORM 'WITH " THE PRIVATE DETECTIVE."
