LAW CLASSES, In connexion with the lectures classes will be conducted under the guidance and superintendence of the lecturers, and will proceTl concurrently with the lectures. The number of subscribers to each class will be limited, and the instruction given will be confined to an examination of the students upon the subject of a preceding lecture, or on portions of a given book bearing on the same subject. A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruc tion and examination of the students. The teaching of the lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the memory by the classes; and the system of constant ex amination will test, from time to time, the progress made by the students.

The elections have caused almost, if not quite, as much excitement this week as they did last. Monday was in deed an exciting day. At the Carlton Club telegrams were received every quarter of an hour from South-West Lancashire. In that temple of High Toryism there was throughout the day very little doubt as to the result of the election. They gave Mr. Gladstone a majority of 700 up to twelve o'clock, and yet backed their men to win. As you know, he never had so large a majority as that, even at the beginning of the day. Middlesex election was lost to the Liberals through the squabbles of the Liberal candidates, concerning whom I may say with Dante : " Non ragionam di for ; ma guarda e passa." From day to day I hear curious election tales which have not appeared in print. In Manchester, for instance, Murphy, who was for some time a candidate, had 1,400 promises, and these he handed over en masse to the Con servative candidates. Towards the close of the polling day, when it was seen that Bazley was in danger, a large number of Manchester Conservatives split their votes between him and Birley ; for Mr. Bazley has large Man ' chester connections, while Mr. Hoare, the second Conservative candidate, is an outsider. In a neighbouring borough the defeat of a well-known railway magnate was due to the removal from the town of a firm of solici tors whom the magnate had converted from their old political opinions, and who, as a reward forbringing him in as member, had received the legal business of two important railways, worth several thousands a year. They had to change their residence, and with that change they lost their power to influence the elections, and the railway magnate lost his seat, very much to his own regret, but not much to that of anybody else. In another constituency, in a different part of England, the agent of one of the successful candidates has discovered certain malpractices on the part of his subordinates such as would vitiate the election, but which his opponents have not yet discovered. Of the suc cessful candidate in a Gloucestershire borough, and who will, I believe, be the youngest member in the House, a good story is told. He was placed at a bank where his father (who is also an M.P.) is an influential shareholder. On entering the bank he was shewn into a private room with an arm-chair in it, and was installed therein, and told that that was to be his place. " Not at all," said he ; " I hope to be there some day, but I mean to work my way up. I should learn nothing there. I wish to begin at the beginning. Place me on a high stool at a desk, and I shall endeavour toreach this room eventually." His wish was granted, and the young bank clerk wrote his election address upon the said desk from the said stool, and now may write M.P. after his name. The Daily Telegraph has stated that Mr. Bright will in all probability not take office, and the Pall Mall Gazelle asserts that there is some foundation for this report. If this he true, Mr. Bright must have changed his mind recently. I know that last spring, when a change of Government seemed probable, he was prepared to join an Administration formed by Mr. Gladstone, who, by the way, is two years his senior. It was generally thought that Mr. Bright would have the India Office, for which post he is qualified by an acquaintance with India equalled by no man living who has not actually held office in India. Manifestly he ought, under ordinary circumstances, to take office. It is but in accordance with the Constitution that a man who has great influence in directing public affairs should be responsible to the nation as a Minister. Mr. Gladstone's " Chapter of Autobiography " has been very variously received, even by those who profess to support him. The Pall Mall has fallen very foul of it, for your philosophic contemporary is as much enraged at anything like religious earnestness as Mr. Murphy is at the sight of a cross. Mr. Gladstoue's reference to the Oxford movement has greatly irritated the organ of sceptical secularism, for is not that true which the authors of "Rejected Addresses" said in jest, " nought is anything, and everything is nought ?" I went to the private view of the Water Colour Society's Winter Exhibition on Saturday. It is a fairly good exhi bition, but there are no pictures of striking merit. I was glad to see that one or two artists have been to Norway, and brought back a few studies. This country would well repay any artist who is not afraid to paint nature in her grandest and in her most gorgeous aspects. But he who would venture to paint Nwrodelen or a July sunset, or one of the fiords, must be a bold man, bold enough to disregard the criticisms of those who, used only to the sober browns and greys of their own country, would be sure to accuse him of exaggeration. Paul Naftel and Gastineau are particularly good this year. Carl Haag is hardly up to his usual mark, but he has one or two good subjects from Bavaria. I have seen Bran white in better force ; so, too, Collin,gwood Smith. Tayler's dogs are inimitable. Brittan Willes contributes eighteen pictures, more than any other artist, but none of them is remarkable. Burgess has some good scenes from Normandy. P.S.—I have just learnt that in all probability the Earl of Kimberley will be Secretary of State for Foreign li Affairs. It will be remembered that he held office as Under Foreign Secretary before holding the post of Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland. THE ELECTIONS. It is satisfactory to note that the elections, which have occupied nearly a fortnight, are nearly at an end. There are contests to-day in South Devon, North Derbyshire, East Suffolk, the East Riding of Yorkshire, Denbighshire, the Wick Burghs, Cork, and Meath. To-morrow there are only two to be decided—the Eastern Division of the West Riding, and West Surrey. The contest in the Edinburgh and LSt. Andrews Universities is appointed for Monday, the candidates being Professor Playfair, in the Liberal interest, and Mr. C. Swinton, Con servative. Tuesday will witness an entire cessation of strife, and on Wednesday the two remaining seats—viz., the Glasgow and Aberdeen Univer sities, and Orkney—will be filled. The former contest will excite unusual interest, it being almost parallel with the one which came off at Exeter between Sir John Karslake and Mr. Coleridge. For the honour of representing the universities there are two candidates of the legal pro fession, viz.,the present and the ex-Lord Advocate. It maybe mentioned that out of the 00 seats apportioned to Scotland, no less than 49 have already been filled by Liberals, and only 7by Conservatives. Of the remaining 4, Wick is wh o lly con t es t e d b y Lib era l s, while in Orkney the old s itti ng mem b er i s expec t e d to have a large majority over his Conservative onnonent THE MAN IN THE MOON. It appears that the " Man in the Moon " has been caught at last. A landlord at Brecon has been com mitted by the magistrates for trial on a charge of bribery in the Conservative interest. The evidence disclosed a curious tale of a man in the railway em ploy IL.,,Ting a parcel containing five pounds dropped into his hand. The station master marked them, and some one marked the man. An agent in the matter has also been committed, supposed to be the veritable "man in the moon." This is a specimen of a bird both rare and shy. We await the trial with interest. r THE OPENING OP PAHLTA3IENT. There are not wanting sgns that it is the intention of the Queen to open Parliament by Con mission, and it is announced that immediately after the anniversary of the death of the Prince Consort, her Majesty will go to Osborne. The assembling of the Parliament elected under the Reform Act of 1807 will be one of the most memorable incidents of modern times, and the piesence of her Majesty to welcome the representatives in whose wisdom she is accustomed formally to express confidence, would be a satisfactory assurance to ourselves and to the foreign critics of our institu tions that such confidence between Queen and people really existed. Rumour is rife as to the repugnance with which her Majesty views the verdict of the people, but we trust it is neither disgust nor indiffe rence which would keep the Queen from -West minster upon such an occasion. Tier Majesty's advisers will do well to ask her to break through the habit of absenting herself on these occasions, rewind ing her that the present is no ordinary one. MR. GLADSTONE AND " MEN OP TUE VORLD.'• The Daily _Yews publishes a letter from Mr. Edward Strachey, in which the writer attempts to shew why it is that Mr. Gladstone has failed to con ciliate and organise certain portions of his party, and why he is so much disliked by certain of the Liberal newspapers. Mr. Strachey declares that it is the uprightness of the right hon. gentleman with which they are displeased. They want him to become and act as " a man of the world." Lord Palmerston, he says, had for many years ruled the country on the man of the world principle and method ; his head was (to adopt the phrase of the Pall Mall Gazette) " clear of all nonsense on moral and religious subjects ;" and when Mr. Gladstone succeeded to the leadership of the House of Commons, with his known character for referring to moral and religious principles upon all occasions, Lord Palmerston's House of Commons put the ques tion clearly to him, Will you fall down and worship us as the condition on which we offer you the ruler ship of England ? He refused ; and Mr. Disraeli— the very incarnation of worldly wisdom—was set up in his place by the union of the " men of the world "of all parties. Mr. Gladstone stood firm to his faith in God and the truth, and the people of England have declared that they do care for moral and religious principle, the London clubs and newspapers notwithstanding, and that they will have the moral and religious man for their leader. " if," the correspondent continues, "the day should ever come in which the worldly wisdom of the Pall Mall Gazette becomes the faith, or no-faith, of the English people, Mr. Gladstone would be no fit leader for them ; but while they continue to be a moral and religious people, es they have now shewn themselves to be, even in their most mistaken opinions, they will have Mr. Gladstone just because he will not fall down and worship the ,Pall Mall Gazette and its compeers." THE HAYMARKET NIGHT-HOUSES. The attention which has lately been called to the scandal of the night-houses in the West-end of London has unmistakably proved that the. Act of Parliament which provides for their closing at ono o'clock is set at nought in the most outrageous manner. Following the remarks of Mr. Tyrwhitt the other day in dismissing a summons, as to the necessity of more stringent legislation, there is another case, resulting in a conviction, which shows still further the unsatisfactory character of the law. A refreshment-house keeper was summoned. A policeman had found four men drinking and smoking at half-past one in the morn ing in his house. The defendant declared that the refreshments had been served before one o'clock. Mr. Tyrwhitt thought that the refreshments were served long after the proper time, and fined him. It was only the day before that the police found men and women drinking in a night-house long after this time. The evidence shewed that some of them had become drunk in the interval of two visits after ono o'clock, and yet Mr. Tyrwhitt held it could not be found that they were served during the prohibited hours. It does not appear how the two decisions can be reconciled. ";) CONFOUND THEIR POLITICS. Mr. C. B. Denison made a nomination speech on Woodhouse Moor the other day. lle was rampantly loyal, and finished his oration with that part of the national anthem commencing " Scatter our enemies." There can be no objection to Mr. Denison's dislike tic the enemies of his country, but when we apply the words of the anthem to a particular party in the State it ceases to be national. TOO LATE. The Advertiser has taken serious alarm, and we aro not sure, after the recent appointments to London and Canterbury, that our contemporary does not repent throwing in its lot with the Liberals. Next in importance to the malt and hop interest, the Advertiser places Evangelical truth, over which it is restlessly watchful. The utterances of Mr. Glad stone upon the subject of Ritualism have caused it the most serious alarm. Mr. Gladstone will not acknowledge any revival of religious feeling until the followers of Pusey and Keble turned the world upside down. Tie has nothing to say of the previous Evangelical Revival. Does it not occur to our con temporary that Mr. Gladstone was dealing in his pamphlet with the period since 1830, and that if he had gone back to Wesley he might just as well have given a comprehensive view of the pre-Augustinian period ? The Advertiser is so disturbed as to calcu late upon the death of some of the bishops. Mr. Gladstone will be in office next year, and before the end of 1809 three bishoprics will be vacant. Let the Advertiser name them by all means, that the occu pants " may know their end, and the number of their days, and be certified how long they have to live. 7, Rev. C. W. Furse C. J. Fieake. Esq.

The protests which arose from every side agabst tile constitution of the royal commission on the procedure in the Scotch law courts have not been without effect. The manifest absurdity of such a commission, wanting in point of law reformers, seems to have made itself clear to everyone. So a new commission has been issued. The list contains 'at least one or two names of weight. Amongst English lawyers Sir William Page Wood (Lord Justice of Chancery Appeal), Mr. Justice Willes, and Sir Bounden Palmer havd been added. Mr. Sclater-Booth, too, has been appointed. The Scotch lawyers of note who will sit are Lord Colonsay, the Lord Justice General Inglis, the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Barcaple, and the Lord-Advo cate. The commissioners cannot complain of want of scope in their inquiry. They are directed to report upon the constitution of the courts, both the higher tribunals and the police-courts, upon the forms of pleadings, higher and minor offices, the duties and privileges of the several offices, the fees, e., " wits a view of ascertaining whether any and what changes and improvements, either by altering the constitu tion or jurisdiction of, or the forms of writs and pleadings, and procedure and privileges of agents in, the said courts, or any of them, or otherwise, may be advantageously made, so as to provide for the more speedy, economical, and satisfactory dispatch of the judicial business now transacted by the said courts, and for the better discovery of truth in the premises." THE SOCIETY OF ARTS. One hundred and fourteen years ago the Society of Arts was established, for the purposes of fostering general improvement. Without very much noise, the association has exercised a powerful influence for good. Reviewing its history on Wednesday, the financial officer of the society pointed out that when it was established there had been no art exhibitions, or exhibitions worth naming of any kind. Machinery in agriculture was unknown, and agriculture itself was being con ducted on very unscientific principles. Food for cattle was neither of the best nor cheapest ; waste lands abounded. We had as yet not learnt how wo might use the products of other lands to our advan tage. By offering prizes and aiding inquiry, the society had been the means of improving machinery, generally. It had given to the world the screw-jack and improved cranes. In agri cultural implements especially it had caused much improvement. It was Dr. Charles Taylor, for sixteen years the society's secretary, who suggested cotton prints. By exhibitions, too, it had done much good. It was from action taken by the society that the Royal Academy was established, and, more recently, that the Great Exhibitions of 1851 and 1862 gave instruction to the multitude. Middle class examinations were the offshoots of the society's planting ; and by trying to acclimatise and to use the products of other nations, the society had improved and cheapened the food of the country. Its achievements, in fact, are "too numerous to men tion." But its recent action as regards education (it was in the Society of Arts rooms that Earl Russell last year announced his adhesion somewhat to the Prussian system), and its attempt to organise some scheme by which our " Arabs " might be brought under supervision, deserve notice , LOCOMOTION. If the recent agitation against "the Southern railways " did nothing else, it certainly directed attention to the question of whether our means of "getting about " might not be improved. The rail way carriages, omnibuses ? cabs, and nearly every other " vehicle " were weighed in the balance by some industrious critic and found wanting. But especially was the manner of locomotion in towns condemned, and very urgent were the demands for tramways. An attempt is now being made to start a tramway in London. The company is being formed, and parliamentary notice has been given. It is pro posed to lay down lines from the outskirts of London and Blackheath, Richmond, Croydon, Hounslow, Uxbridge, Edgware, Harrow, and Barnet. The lines are to be worked subject to the supervision of the Board of Trade and the trustees of the highway. Horse power is at first to be used, but steam is thought practicable. The expense will be about £lB,OOO per mile. STEAM-BOILERS. ,The Steam-boiler Explosion Association at Man chester has received the report of their chief engi neer as to his inspection of boilers. During the past month 229 visits of inspection have been made and 50 boilers examined, 432 externally, eight internally, three in the flues, and 110 entirely ; while in addition seven have been tested by hydraulic pressure. In these boilers 93 defects have been discovered five of them being dangerous. With reference to the defects enumerated, two were cases of fracture, a third of external corrosion, and a fourth of improperly-treated safety-valves. We need not wonder that we hear of boiler explosions, when there are five boilers in a district ready to go off at any time, and about ninety ready to supply their places when their defects shall also have become dangerous. A DISCOVERY IN SOLAR PILYSICS The Daily Enos records at great length a dis covery in solar physics which may possibly interest our scientific readers, amateur or otherwise. The coloured prominences round the sun have only made themselves apparent during eclipses. While the still is "naked," so to speali, they could not be observed; so that at each of the eclipses scientific men have been very anxious to observe these protuberances. Mr. Lockyer in England and Dr. Jansin in France have independently and contemporaneously dis covered an arrangement of the telescope and the spectroscope by which these phenomena may be observed ou ordinary occasions.
