This morning the September Session of this Court commenced at the• Old Bailey, before the Lord Mayor, R. Gurney, Esq., Recorder ; Aldermen Faraeornbe, Sir F. G. Moon, Sir R. W. Carden, M.P., and Phillips ; Mr. Sheriff Mechi, and Mr. Under-Shcr:ff Crowley. There are 72 prisoners for trial. There was a very small attendance of grand jurors, and it was with difficulty the grand jury could be formed. The whole of the absentees who omitted to send legiti mate excuses to the Court were fined 101. each. Several of those who attended asked to be excused on the ground of their being over 00 years of age, but they were informed by the Lord Mayor that age did not re lieve them, in this court, from diechaeging the duties of grand jurors, provided they Elt themselves physically capable of doing so. They all appeared to be strong, healthy men, in the full possession of their faculties, and not liking to be considered infirm in any particular they went into the box and were sworn. The Recorder, in addressing the grand jury, adverted to the bill introduced last session for the aboli tion of grand juries, and said that where he last discharged his duties in that court, ho scarcely imagined he should have to address another grand jury there, believing that the bill then before Parliament would have been passed into a law. That was not the proper place to discuss measures that might have engaged the attention of Parliament, but this he might say, that the grand jury system stood on a very different footing in that court from other parts of the country, because they had to enquire into cases that bad been before fully in vestigated by magistrates of learning and experience, and in which there could be but very slight legal diffi culties. The bill, however, was withdrawn, he believed, from the shortness of the session, and as the institution still existed, grand juries would have to .con tinue to discharge the duties which by law were imposed on them. The cases 'to be tried mere few in number, owing probably to the short time that had elapsed since the last sessions, but he regretted to say that several ef them were of a very serious description. There were no less than three charges of wilful murder, and two of wounding with intent to murder. One of the cases of murder was of a peculiar character—that of Antonio de Salvi, for the murder of a person named Robertson, a pri soner et the time in the Queen's Bench Prison. The learned gentleman having stated the particulars of the case and the fact of Salvi's trial and conviction of the former see sions for wounding, with intent to murder, informed the jury that it would be their duty to put the case in train for further investigation in that Court; the circumstance of the prisoner's having been tried for another offence did not in any way affect them. The second case of murder was that of Cornelius Denny, between whom and the deceased there was some sculiiing, when the accused stabbed deceased with a knife, from the effects of which he died ; and the third coP3 of murder was that of James Preston, who, whilst a prisoner in Horsemonger-lane Goal, struck the deceased, another prisoner, on the laud with a pail, from the effects of which he died. There might be some questions arise as to the prisoner's sanity, but they had nothing to do with them. They would have to be con sidered in that court, and if it were found that the pri soner was insane, he would be confined in all probability for life. The two cases of attempted murder were—one that of a convict whe inflicted serious injuries upon the warder of the prison in which ho was confined, and the other that of a woman who attempted to destroy her child by strangulation. Neither would pre sent any difficulty to them. Theonly other case requiring notice from him was that of a young man eharged with uttering a false certificate of baptiern to obtain a situa tion in a public department. In some departments of the public service persons were not admitted under a certain age, and in order to secure admission the accused altered the certificate given to him by the clergyman, which represented his age as 17 years, inst.ad of, as in reality, 15 years. . The grand jury then left the Court to enter on their duties. ------- RIVAL CANDLE MASERS.—PRICE AND CO. V. BANWENE3 Al) CO.—CHARGE OF PERJURY. Edward Hastings, a respetably-dressed man, described as a labourer, was indicted for wilful and corrupt per jury. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. Sleigh prosecuted. Sir F. Tbessiger, Mr. Huddlestone, Q C., Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Giffard defended. It appeared from the opening statement of the learned Sergeant that the trial would occupy the court a consi derable period from the complicated details involved. Thu defendant is a labouring man possessing considera ble skill and ingenuity, and at the same time of the alleged commission of the offence he was in the employ ment of Price's Patent Candle Company, but pre vious to that he was for about twelve months in the employment of Banwen's Candle Company, Ranelagh-road, Pimlico. On the 10th October, 1856, he left their employ, and went into Price's employ about af, , rtnight after. After the defendant went into Price's employ proceedings were taken byth ern inChancery neje st Bau wen's for an alleged infringement of the former's patent for melting tallow, which it was said were founded on the defendant's statements, and subsequently, by a trial at nisi pries on the 2 , 1 of July last, at Guildhall, before Lord Campbell, when the main issue was found, it wait contended by the prosecution for Price and Co. on the defendant's evidence, in which was contained the alleged perjury. The details of the case present no feature of general interest to the ordinary reader, and is likely to occupy the attention of the Court at least for two days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Day.) WESTMINSTER. Alt IRISH BOW.—DES2ERATE ASSAULTS ON THE POLlOE.—Jeremiah Connell, Cornelluß Stiein. Ann Connell and Richard Connell, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged under the following circum- stances : Gee. Finnic, 174 B, said—On Saturday night la - et, at a quarter to twelve, I was on duty in Great Peter street, and saw 'the prisoner Jeremiah standing at the " Grey Coat Boy" drunk and causing a disturbance, a mob being around him I went up to him and tried to persuade him to go away. Ire had some beer which he bad taken from some one inside in a pot, the contents of which he threw over me, and followed that up by strik ing me with his fist and attempted to strike me with the pot. I then knocked him down with my fist, when he got up and punched my head. I took him into cus tody and he was very violent, kicking all who came near him all the way to the station. The prisoner Sheen came up and struck,me a very violent lbw while I was taking Connell to the station, and dragged hold of me by the collar. He was very drunk. ' John Davis, 154 B—l went to the assistance of Finnis. who had hold of Jeremiah Connell, he was very violent, kicking every one. He struck and kicked medespe rately over the eye. Sheen came up and said he would take him away ; the female prisoner kept laying hold of several constables and endeavoured to pull them away. Jeremiah was at last so violent that it was nezeesary to get a stretcher and the assistance of several other con stables. William Gearing, 86 B—l went to the assistance of the other constables, who were endeavouring to take Jeremiah Connell into custody. He was exceedingly violent and kicked me very severely in the head and also several times in the privates, which hurt me very much, from which lam now suffering. Ann Connell followed the constables to the station, dragged hold of them repeatedly and incited the crowd to rescue the prisoner Jeremiah. She also kicked me in the legs, but having no shoes on did not hurt me very much. Richard Connell, assisted by others, threw a great number of stones, and one of them struck me on the head ; I believe the prisoner Richard Connell threw it. I took Ann and Richard Connell into custody. William Dighton, 75 B—l went to the assistance of my brother constables. Jeremiah Connel was very violent, kicking and plunging. We got him as far as Peter-street, when several stones struck me in succes sion. I went out into the road in order to discover who it was that was throwing, when I was struck again on the side of the head with another stone. I saw Sheen ran up to Daws and strike him on the head, when I took him into custody. The woman was trying to get Jeremiah away. Jeremiah. said the constables struck him first, and Sheen, that be was so drunk he knew nothing about it. Ann and Richard Connell told a long, rambling story about going to help the one, their son, and the other his brother. It having been stated that in consequence of the violence of the prisoners, Davis and Gearing were dis abled from attending to their duty, Mr. Arnold said that the prisoner Jeremiah Con nell had, without the least provocation, committed a series of assaults, and had been the cause of the whole transaction, which had assumed a very serious aspect, and almost might be called a riot, several persons in the crowd having ill-used the constables and thrown stones at them, whereby they had been disabled. to She haven who knew nothing about the prisoner, -appearedsse been very drunk, and mer el y to have j•linen t we ldiw - turbance in order to ill - t reat the police, whore ann fully executing th eir dut y . - In con sideration of Ann Connell fine her 10s., or in l defaultge commit her away, he should for seven days. R ichard Connell appeared to be as bad endeavouring th m a o t th a e c r co of account m C e o re ne y ,el t l o s, and as the other,. He should commit Jeremiah Connell far one month to hard labour in the Howe of Correction, Sheen for 14 days, Ann Connell, 10e., or seven days, and Richard Connell 14 days. Do.. CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled steady, oh rather higher terms. The barley trade was firm, at full quotations. In the value of othcr grain very little change took place. On the continout, wheat and other produce have mostly supported previous rates ; but the demand for shipment has not b3on extensive. In the United States produce generally has ruled heavy. Up to our markets last week the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 7,858 quarters of wheat, 8,440 barley, 26,778 oats, 229 beans, 145 peas, 8,400 linseed, 4,205 rapeseed, 510 mus tarilseed, 3,1 T-5 sundry seeds, 278 sacks and 200 barrels of flour. _ _ Fresh up to-day from Essex, Kent, &e., the arrivals of wheat were only moderate, but the general quality of the samples was good. As a fair clearance of the stands was effected on Tuesday the number of samples in the market was by no means large. Owing, in some measure, to their being some large buyers in attendance from Yorkshire, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, at an advance in the quotations realised on Mon day last of is per quarter, and some progress was made in sales. There was a fair show of most kinds of foreign wheat. Good dry samples changed hands steadily, at is to 2s Per qr more money, and the value of all other kinds was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain wore in improved request. We bad an active inquiry for barley, and prices ad vanced is to 2s per qr. Fine malt was held at fall quotations. Inferior qualities were very dull. Very few home-grown cats wen on offer, but the supply of foreign was moderately good. Ths oat trade ruled firm at very full prices. Bearp, the supply of which was moderate, sold steadily at extreme rates. We hsd a good demand for peas at full quotations. The flour trade was steady, and country markets were rather dearer.

A full , average supply of home-fed beasts was received fresh up to-day from the north ; but their general quality was inferior. The primost breeds were in steady request, at prices quite equal to Monday last. Otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, yet we have no actual change to notice in the quotations. Ftom Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton. shire, we received 2, - 00 short-horns ; frorn other parts of England, 270 of various breeds; from Scotland, 24 Scots; and from Ireland, 996 oxen, via Liverpool. There was a slight falling off in the show of sheep, and most breeds came to hand in but middling condition. The mutton Mad.) ruled steady, at last week's currency. The primost Downs sold at 5s 4d per Sibs. Prime lambs were firm in prices ; but Inferior breeds ruled heavy. Although the supply of calves was rather limited, the veal trade ruled heavy, an l prices wore 21 to 4d per 81bs lower than on Monday last. The few pigs in the market realised rather more money.

AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. 11.—The following official don- Ment has been published, which proves that no greater' political privileges will he granted to the Hungarians than to the inhabitants of the other provinces of the empire : " Dear Cousin Archduke Albrecht,—Daring my re cent tour through the greater part of my kingdom of Hungary I everywhere met with the most lively expres sion of attachment on the part of all the different races, and innumerable striking, and on all occasions we'll meant, proofs of loyal homage and sincere devotion. " I al o observed with satisfaction the remarkableir • gress which Hungary has made in all regects since I travelled through it five years ago, and convinced myself that the institutions which—after ripe consideration and with due regard t,) the peculiarities of the country, were introduced in accordance with my organic ordinances of December 31, 1851, have essentially contributed to its evident improvement. "I feel assured that their salutary influence will be still more felt when' the commerce of the country is more developed and there are greater facilities of communica ti when the measures relative to the emancipation of the soil are entirely carried out, and the new organisa tion is completed. "Being resolved that the fundamental principles which have hitherto guided me in the government of my empire shall be maintained inviolate, it is my will that this should be universally known, and partieu'arly .that all the organs of my Government do take my will for their exact rule of conduct. "At the same time it will be my anxious care that allowance aba I be made for the national pecu"arities of the different rac a, and that due attention.shalt be paid to the cultivaii ,n of their langra4e. "To you, my well-brhved, I return my warmest thanks for the circumspection and ee7ot:on wish wh:el you have conducted the government of my kingdom. I at the t ame time commission you to Express to the pi o vincial authorities my extreme conteot with the zeal and devote %leo] which they have displayed under various difficult circumstances (untervielfach,en Schwierigkeiten), and I expect that they will in future do all in their power to mil ,e my benevolent intentions for the benefit of the country and of its inhabitants. " FRANCIS JOSEPH. " Lexcnburg, Sept. 9, 1857." LITERATURE. Farina, a Legend of Cologne. By Geo. Meredith, Author of " The Shaving of Shagpat," &c. Smith, Elder, and Co. "The Shaving of Shagpat" was, as its readers will remember, an oriental tale, distinguished by its vivid originality and luxuriant imagination. The present volume possessesmuch of the same cha racter, and the reader who delights in novelty will ceitainly be gratified. It is a tale of German life some centuries ago—of the wealthy and hospitable Gottlieb Groschen, and his fair daughter Margarita, • and his prim sister Lisbeth • of Farina, the dis tiller of essences ; of the bold Guy the Goshawk, the stout English soldier ; of the outlaw -Baron Werner and his lawless band, and similar charac ters. It may be easily be conjectured what a varied drama the author's vigorous pen can evoke from such materials, not to mention the White Rose Club, Father Gregory, and Sathanas, the Kaiser himself, and many lesser mortals. The narrative occupies but a few days, but wonderful are the adventures chronicled. The old merchant has his life and property threatened, but escapes uninjured. Tne fair Margarita is captured by Wer ner's band, and rescued by the bold Goshawk, the devoted Farina, and a mysterious Water Lady. Tho White Rose Club contrive to reader themselves ridiculous. Farina gets into - a series of difficulties, from all of which ha is happily extricated by his admirable invention ; and a happy wedding re joices the inhabitants of Cologne nearly as much as the new discovery. The mere facts, however, give no idea of the thorough adoption of German life and legends which particularly distinguishes the book. The very mysticism and disconnection of the parts help to render it completeia this respect ; and no inconsiderable degree" of talent is evinced by the maintenance of its characteristic features. Taken as what it professes to be, a legend of German life in 'olden days, it does the author great credit by its vivid adaptation of national features. We are glad to meet him again in this new path, in which he has already taken some adventurous steps, and should he proceed in the same style his success will no doubt be commensurate with his abilities. Autobiography of Lutfullah, a `llfoltainedan Gen tleman.. Edited by E. B. Eastwicke, Smith and Elder. This is a very curious and interesting volume which commends itself to the attention of the reader, both from the importance j ust now attached to the real sentiments and opinions of the Mahome dan population of India, and from the singular cir cumstance of the author having written it in Eng lish. Ho gives an account of his life and adven tures, interspersed with sage reflections. He entered various kinds of political service, and was finally engaged as secretary and interpreter to Mir Jafir Ali, an Indian prince, who visited England to obtain some compensation from the East India Company. The office of interpreter he was well qualiticd to as by his abilities and perseverance he had mastered sveral languages, and was familiar with many European works. It is curious to meet with quotations from English and Latin writers, all of which, we are told by the editor, are of Lut fullah's own insertion. Here is his account of his study of the English language while employed as Minister to au English gentleman. the Bheel agent at Natcha. "At night I enjoyed the good so&ety•F Abbe Miyau, of whom I learned the English alpha b:tt, and enabled myself to make out the words from clictonatieq, and road Hindustani and Persian fluently in the Roman character. From this time until the end of 1829 I never went to bed without learning ten words of English by heart, and read ing a few pages of the eminent Dr. Gilchrist's grammatical works with full attention by myself. Thus, after the hard labour of full eight years, I learnt English, the most difficult language in the world." That his learning was not of a superficial character is evidenced by the style and grammar of this work. There are Orientalisms and curious phrases, but much of it might have been written by an Englishman, and it reflects the highest cie lit on Lutfullah. On their way to Eu rope ho and his chief visited Mohamed Ali. Their interview is thus described : "We were conducted by a state officer, splendidly dressed, to a spacious room at the northern corner, and there we saw the old famous prince, Mohamed Ali Pasha, plainly attired in a red Turkish cap and a blue cloth coat descending to hie knees ; and then being introduced to him, each of us touching his highness' right band with his, kissed it, according to the Turkish form of compli ments, and then seated ourselves on the divan, in line to the right of the old prince. Two pairs of valuable Cashmere Shawls were then presented by Mir Jafir Ali Khan, and were kindly accepted by his highness. Now three heads and tongues were employed to interpret, i.e., I explained my yourg master's expressions to Mr. ire ldie, in Eng lish, and Mr. Tibaldie to his highness' principal dra goman (or interpretei) in French, and the interpreter to his highness in Turkish. The mutual compliments were but very short, and then my young master began ad dressing himself to his highness in the usual flattering mode of th© English princes. He observed that he had always heard about the well-regulated good Govern ment wisely constituted and personally conducted by his highness ; that he thanked heaven he bad now an ocular demonstration of the same, and found that all he bad heard was nothing but truth. To this the .a old l Pasha replied, " Something is done , but a great e n a t more remains to be done." Af ter this, his h Ighnossveprn several questions on the syste m of the Englishi inent in India, which were duly replied to n elicit but co mprehensive answers. wa s brought in, and being Thperecsoffeneteed then being ordered to each of us, we , rose a T u rkish turns,sei p m homage, age kiss , ing our own hands to his hi g hness, as we drank it in the same way t 3 an Englishmen drink his friend's health, and . then get ting our leave, returned home well satisfied with the in terview with an extraordinary man, .who, although an unlettered soldier once, yet had raised himself to the iiummit of sa vareignty, like the European Cromw e ll an d BuonaPar te and our own Haider and Ranjit." His opinions and impressions of London life are very amusing. Here m an account of his first entry into the metropolis. id I n a few minutes, two nice carriages , drawn by h ors es of gigantic make and l o wer , b e i ng brought near, we got upinto them and d rove i nto t h e f ar -f ame d City of London. Street atter street and square after s quare that we passed through for about three-quarters of an hour, were all paved, clean and regular, thronged wit h the bu-y inhabitant s o f b o th sexes , almost all the females good looki ng , an d th e ma l es we ll made and a ctive. Pa laces of nobles and dukes are distinguished by their large porticos and superior construction. In one . of the overm I saw two well-dressed men with ashes Trinkled their heads, and thereby concluding that some death might have occurred in the house, I told Mr. Scott, -who•sat by me. that a mournfol event might have been the cause of the dust on their beads; but the young man laughed at my beard, and said it was the old custom' sill preserved by some of powdering their hair. Upon the whole, one might imagine that this vast city, whose population is no less than 20 lakbs of inhabitants, con tained the riches of the whole world, Surrounded by such wonders and curiosities, we travelled on to a quar ter termed Brook-street, and alighted at a magnificent house, called Mivart's Hotel. "Supplied with all kinds of luxuries suitable to Princes, we lived in this inn for three days, and then our chief being frightened at the enormous charges of about ' two hundred rupees per diem, fmgage:i a private lodging, No. 7, Sloane-street." Their visits to the Museum and all the sights of London are carefully recorded, and their recep'on appears to have been cordial. They went back having obtained their object, but it is with regret the reader learns, after all his wander ing, that the adventurous Lutfullah finds " his domestic cares aggravated, his fears advan ced, and his income inadequate to cover the ex penses of a large family. lie comfr)rts himself with his Irma' Mahomedan philosophy, and we trust that this very entertaining volume will afford him more substantial consolation. The New Law of Marriage and Divorce Popularly • Explained. By W. A. Hold,woith and R. T..: Tidswell, 8.A., Barristers-at-Law. London Robert Harlwicke, 20, Duke-street, Piccadilly. 1857. Pp. 70. To be popularly intelligible, an act of Parliament requires - a popular commentary and explanation. - The recent Divorce Act stands peculiarly in need : of thiq, not more from the interest which attaches ; to it than from the intricate character of the sub.. jcct to which it relates. Many of its provisions are not to be understood without reference to the: E , ,3clesiastical law to which they refer, while others• require for their correct appreciation the guidance' of those • whose professional avocations have rori-' dered them familiar with the circuitous English in which our legis!at - rs envelope their meaning. To. all who wish to make themselves master o this. important measure .we can recommend : the volumo, before us. Written for the general reader, the object of the authors has been to explain, in clear popular, but, at the same time, accurate language, what will be the real effect of the new act ; what, will be the rights of the husband or wife, not only in regard to the ultimate remedy of divorce, but to the less stringent one of a judicial separation. While, with respect to the powers of the new court in protecting the earnings of a deserted wife, in decreeing alimony, and provid'ng for the custody of the children, the introductory treatise throUrs all. necessary light upon the text of the act, which is appended for those who wish to peruse the ipsissi4na verb./ of Parliament. LORD CLARENDON AND THE 1610.RN11VG JOURNALS. (From the Morning Advertiser. ) Tie conduct of Lord Clarendon towards the ge e nerality of the London Press, in connection with the present state of affairs in India, is reprehensible in the highest degree, and were Parliament now sitting, the noble lord might depend on it that his conduct would be made the subject of severe and merited censure. Anxious to curry favour wish tine Times, and merging the high character of a Minis ter of the Crown in that of the ignoble character of a parasite of our contemporary, Lord Clarendon engaged some weeks ago to let tars Times have a pri ority, over all the other journals, of information from India. The arrangement wee, that the intel ligence received by Government by telegraph from the East should be transmitted by the Foreign Office, to that journal on the instant of its arrival. Of course, Lord Clarendon would not dare to let the Times have the intelligence exclusively. That would have been an experiment on the forbearance of the other journals, and on that of the public as well, which the Foreign Secrttary had not the courage to make. Still, in the way we have men tioned, the Foreign-office favouritism was shown to the Times, by giving it the earliest intelligence, leaving it to our contemporary to let the other papers have copies of what was sent by Lord Cla rendon a couple of hours afterwards. Now, to those who am acquainted with the practical working of the press, it must be obvious that .our contemporary of Printing-house-square has, in this way, a great advantege over all the other journals. Before they, have the slightest idea of what the nature of the intelligence is, the Times can have written its leading ar ticle en it. Last night, at eight o'clock, we re ceived information that t he telegraph despatch front India had been transmitted to the Times, and_ we ware informed by the Foreign Office that at ten we would get a slip from Printing-house-square. This, it will b 3 observed, was an interval of two hours. Now, why such an interval, assuming it to be at all defensible that the Times should get the despatch first 3 The whole thing might, with. the greatest ease, have been got ready for the other journals iu a quarter of an hour. But the Times had its object to serve. Had the despatch been received at me or two o'clock this morning, the delay would not only have been injurious to the other journals, .Lut would h ave caused them very serious inconvenience. It would have precluded the possibility of their publishing any comments of their own on the intel ligence in the same impression of their respedtiVe papers. But this is not all. We charge Lord Clerendon, or those acting under him, and for whose conduct he is consequently responsible with a breach of faith in this matter. Anticipating the indignaCoa of our contemporaries and ourselves at this marked and invidious preference of the Times, Lord Cla rendon caused, a few days ago, a circular to be ad dressed to the offices of each of our morning con temporaries, as well as to that of this journal, say ing, that whenever the telegraphic contents of the Indian mail reached the Foreign-office at a suffici ently early hour to admit of copies being taken for each of the other morning papers; copies would be sent to them contemporaneously with the copy sent to the Times. The Foreign-office has not fulfilled its promise ;it has broken faith with us all. The despatch arrived at seven o'clock, and surely that was a sufficiently early hour to admit of copies being taken. Half-a-dozen clerks would have transcribed the requisite number of copies in fifteen or twenty minutes, or three clerks would have done it in half an hour or forty minutes. The conduct, therefore of Ler.' Clarendon in this matter is, we rep eat, reprehensible iu the highest degree ; and we shall be surprised it one and all of our 'contemporaries do not denounce it in those terms of indignation which such flagrant unfairness to them and to us, and such pitiable truckling to the Times, so richly deserve. If our contemporaries are only true to themselves,--if they but vindicate, with becoming spirit, their own rights, and tell Lord Clarendon, in plain terms, that they will not submit to the indignity which he puts upon them, and the injustice he does alike to themselves and their readers, we venture to say that his Lordship will not have the temerity to act in the same way on the arrival of the next Indian mail. ETON COLLEGE. The vacation, which commenced on the 27th July, terminated on Wednesday last, on which clay the lower boys and colleges arrived—the fifth form. returned on Thursday, and the sixth form on Fri day and. Saturday, when the whole sch ool assem bled. Thera has been au increase in the numbers, although many left at the election vacation. As both Harrow and Winchester have been allowed an extra week's holiday this vacation, it was anticipated the same would have been the case at Eton. However, as the marriage of the Princess Royal—probably at Windsor —is approaching, it h7s been thought advisable by the authorities to postpone the extra week until it can be given in honour of that auspicious event. During the re cess the removals consequent upon the Rev. E. Coleridge's appointment as Fellow have • taken place as follows :—The Rev. E. Coleridge, to his the t ß he Rev. W official residence in the cloi-ters ; e Joys to the Rev. E. Colridge's ; and At: L. lardisty,f to the Roy. J. L. Joynes's ; tiwell Waterfield, Esq., to the Rev. W. L. liar distY's. The vacation has also witnessed the necessary preparations at St. John's Church for the reception of the Lower School (generally about a hundred) ; the tower, or which, f been rom t r h emoved to a chamber in the always intended fps ah e l erection of the church, vr .. a: y the a v a w r o g hloo er l innosftrtn lengthenede andnt, t o t the full width, so thatlower school will, by these means, b e accommodate d in, that partofthe sacred edifice. ' The m ost important building lte operation rato ns o i n f the te vaaeclaitegioen has e w e n il i t e h h e h e L tensive alterations almost entirely reb uilt from the designs of Woodyear, Esq., b rother-in-law of the Rev. W. Efal b , L. Elliott. Little more than the walls of the old hall remain. There is a new open timber roof of chaste design, and also new east and west traceried windows. The entrance to the hall is intended to be closed, and a gallery ,built over the buttery for the accommodation of visitors, and ladies in particular, who may be invited to witness the col lege festivals. The whole of the work in the hall has been expeditiously executed by Messrs. Wheeler, of Reading. When, as is eventually in tended, a new tesselaied pavement has been sub stituted for the present flag-stones, the Collegeball will almost equal in architectural beauty the 001- lege-chapel. Until the completion of these impoT tint alterations the King's scholars dine iu the, election dumber,
