DEATH OP MR. COCISRELL, LA.

We regret to announce the death of Mr. Charles
Robert Cockerel!, Royal Academician, and Emeritus Pro.
lessor of Architecture in the Royal Academy. He died on
Thursday last in the 76th year of his ne. In his early life
Mr Coekerelispent many years of careful 'lady amoog the
existing remains of clamie architecture in Asia Minor,
Sicily, Rome, Pompeii, and elsewhere. In 1811-12 the
ruins of the Temples of Jupiter in -Elena, and of Apollo,
at Besse, near Phrypleia to Arcadia, were excavated by
Mr. Oockerell in company with Baron Haller sod others.
An account of those excavations he published ie 1860. The
collection of remains from the former edifice is in the
museum at Munich, that of the latter in the
British Museum. Subsequently " restorations" of far-famed
buildings of antiquity as they may once have existed—of
the Capitol sal Forum of Rome, of the Parthenon, iso.—
often employed Mr. Cockerell's taleots as an architectural
draughtsman. Is 1829 be was elected an emaciate of
the Royal Academy, sad is 1836 he attained the honour
of • Royal Academician. In 1840 he succeeded Wilkins
as professor of amhiticture, a post be continued
to fill with great encores, his lectors@ supporting that repu-
tation for learning and ability which he had always enjoyed.
In 1841 he was elected one of the eight" Aimories Etcangers"
of the Academy of the Institute of France, and is
1843 one of the ten " limbers of /limit" of the Aca-
demy of St. Luke's at Rome. In 1843 he was created
an ihooorary D.C.L. of the University of Oxford. In
1848 be was the first to receive the gold medal of the
Institute of British Architecture. He was also a mamba
of the academies of Munich, Berlin, and Borne. Mr. Cock-
' well was always firm in his adherence to classic architec-
ture as the style to be imitated in th, nineteenth century
in this country, and was long an opponent of
that general revival of Gothic art which has of
late years obtained more and more the ascendancy. He
has, however, mare than once desigoed io Gothic, having
vigorously applied himself to the study of medieval archi-
tecture, and was an active member of the Archeological
Institute. To its "Transactions" he contributed
many valuable emays, in illustration of English anti-
quities, "The Iconography of Wells Cathedral," "The
Architectural Life of William of Wykebam," "T e
Sculpture of Lincoln Cathedral," and others. The
principal works executed by Yr. Oockerell, are the Philos°.
phiail Institution at Bristol, the Gothic College at Lampe-
ter, the Gothic speech room and chapel at Harrow,
the Taylor and Randolph Buildings at Oxford, the
new Public Library at Oxford, the Sun fire oflios, the
Royal Exchange, and the Hanover DistrietChapel in Reseal-
street. He is also reeponsible for most of the various addi-
tions and improvemeote made during the last quarter of •
century to the Beek of England, to which he was deeding
architect. To Mr. Cocketell also is due the merit of the
recent restoration of St. Pies Cathedral.

Tae NETREEENTATION or SHEFFIRLD. The
friends of Messrs. Roebuck and Hadfield, the sitting
members for Sheffield. held a meeting yesterday, in
view of the opposition threatened to one of them by Mr.
John Brown, of the Atlas Works. The meeting was influential
and numerous, and a promise of support was given to both,
although ao objection on the part of one gentleman was
urged against the Confederate sympathies of Mr. Roebuck.
After Uwe meeting Mr. Dunn received the following note
from Mr. Roebuck :—" September 1863, Swansea
Dorset. My dear sir,—Your letter has reached me
here to-day, and I now write merely to say,
formally, that it is my intention, if alive and
well, to stand again for Sheffield when the dissolution

elected, end I believe that I still retain the cocbdence of
my constituent.: neither do I fancy that my mental
powers are at all diminished, though, alas! bodily, I am
pot very strong ; yet my health during the last two years
has marvellously improved. My long connexion with
the people of Sheffield has not, I think, lessened my
claims on their favours. My powers, such en they are,
have never been used for selfish ends, and my creed has
always been that honest service will always command a
good return. Whatever action may be thought 'seesaw

Believe me, yours very sincerely,—J. A. Rognucx."
THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGREER.—MEETHIG OF
Woaueo Mix—Last night • meeting of trades' at
convened by circular, was held in Dmmmoied.striM
for the purpose of considering what steps should be takes
with reference to the working men's meeting at the ap-
proaching Social Science Congress. Professor Amber
occupied the chair, and there was a large attendance
of delegates from nearly all the trades. Professor Ar-
cher read an extract of a letter from Miss lea Craig,
stating that Lord Brougham would certainly preside at the
meeting, suggesting that Lord Minto and Mr. Kin-
naird should be asked to take part in the proceedirap, and
stating that Mr. Hastings, the secretary, bed expressed his
willingness to speak on the occasion. Professor Archer
stated- that he had been informed by Mr. Kinnaird that he
would do all in his power for the proposed meeting.
Professor Archer also intimated that the subjects discussed
at the meeting would require to be few in number, and
the speeches upon them short. The Dumber of rowdies must
not exceed six, and of these only two could be delivered by
working men. Various suggestious were then male by the
sorbing men present as to the subjects for discussion. The
following subjects were proposed :—Co-operation ; the carry-
ing out of the evening classes for working men in connexion
with the University; trades' unions ; machinery in applica-
tion to industry, and bow the working classes should conduct
themselves under the changes that have taken place; the
short time movement ; temperance ; and the loss of health in
relation to the position and commatioss of the working
classes. Professor Archer spoke at considerable length on
the &demises, of the introduction of Monte Videan beet
and invited the delegates to meet him after the meeting of
9th October to test the merits of that article of food, which
wee to be prepared by Mr. Grieve. of the Café Royal. A
committee was appointed for earryiog out this object ; and
the mating then separated—Edinburgh Courant.
THE NIGHTINGALE FEED.—At a recent meeting
of the council of the Nightingale Fund, the report showed
that of the probatiocers who bed completed their training as
hospital sense at St. Thomas's Hospital, and been placed
on the register as certified nurses, twenty were employed
in various hospitals and infirmaries, principally in the pro-
vinces, sad that the accounts received of them were most
satisfactory. la consequeooe of the closing of the hospital
during the removal of the Surrey Gardens, only a 'mall
number had completed their training during the pest year.
Twelve probationers are now under tralaieg there. The plan
for training midwifery nurses at Ring's College Hospital to
be employed among the poor ens making progress. The
prebatioaers who have been sent out as trained nurses were
employed in country parishes. and were giving satisfaction.
The committee state that, although the lumber of probe-
' tiooen who had completed their training in both hospitals
had from various MUNI fall's short of what might have
been expected, they were satisfied with the general results
' obtained. Decided progress had been made in the number
of applications for trained nurses on the part of the public,
sad there had been latterly some improvement both in the
number and in the character of the candidates who applied
for the vacancies. The accounts of the receipts and aspen.
&tare for the year were ordered to be advertised. The
vacancy in the comma occasioned by the death of the late
Sir Joshua Jobb was filled up by the appointment of Mr.
Edward Marjoribanks, JUT). Applications respecting hos-
pital Runes should be made to the matron at St. Thomas's
Hospital, S. ; applications respecting midwifery nurses to
the lady superintendent, Ring's College Hospital, W.C.
The regulations as to both may be obtained from the seam
tar!, 11, Lomberriatreet, E C.
HALF-TINE EDOCATION.—Where the balance be-
tween mind and body, brain and muscle, is established by
education, the chances of life, health, and prosperity are
improved beyond all computation. Mr. Chadwick tells us
that is half-time industrial schools, the mortality is reduced
to cam third of what it is at the same time of life in the
general population of England Wales. With this weightiest
of facts I conclude our contemplation of the lot of the for-
tunate children who bums come in for the first share of the
benefits of half .time schooling. They have the advantage
of the sone sad daughters of nobles, and gentry, and trades-
men ; for the old-established sebool-hers are still the rule
in upper and middle-class education ; end the physical edu-
cation of children—of girls especially—has still to be in-
troduced into practiee, while it is having a fair trial among
not only young peasants aid operatives, bat paupers,
oundlings, and City Arab.—Once a Week.
THE FERN MANIA.—It cannot fail to straw a
thoughtful observer that among our native ferns we have as.
interesting and as remarkable an example of the power of
nature to produce endless variety out of a few common-
place materials as any to be found among the plants or
animals of any climate in the world. We have but 46 species
of British fern, yet in the nursery at Foot's Cray there are
so fewer than 320 distinct varieties of them, each variety
reproducing itself, except in a few instances, with stubborn
constancy, so that we may fairly doubt at lest if we know the
species in any case, and if what lwe call species are not
in tbemselves only varieties which have acquired a
tolerably fixed character because compelled to submit to
oertain uniform conditions of soil and climate. It is a feet
of no less intend to the philosopher speculating on the
origin of species thee to the fermgrower, who cares not I
jot about that grave question, that to form a complete col. •
tactical of British fame and their varieties is simply im-
possible. Mr. Sim enumerates 364 in all; we could, of
our own knowledge, add to that total oonsidersbly of vane.
ties met with from time to time, but never catalogued,

they sprang. But that all this mare Alone work of

and &eying to others the power of reproduction by nay

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Clooi.

The Stock Exchange being closed to-day, for the
purpose of completing repairs, no hominess is going
orward in public securities.
The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have
not arrived.

For some days past an extensive business
has been going on, and, though it has been
chiefly confined to some of the more speculative
foreign stooks, such as Mexican, Greek. Spanish,
and Turkish Consolid6s, other securities, particu-
larly the shares of the new financial companies, now
all at considerable premiums, have met with a large
share of attention. The fact that notice is chiefly
bestowed upon non-dividend paying foreign
stocks, or upon a class of shares which, if
only on account of their recent creation,
cannot return large dividends until some time
hence, merely serves to show more clearly the dis-
position of the public to embark in speculative
enterprise. The eager demand for bank shares
furnishes another significant indication, and the
effect is seen, for example, in the rapid advance of
the shares of the London and Brazilian Bank to
161. and 171. premium. One of the rumours
in circulation is to the effect that an agent is
now in London charged with the negotiation
of a Mexican loan. Operations in an adverse
direction are deterred by the remarkable firmness
with which each successive rise in this stock has
been maintained. In view of the fine harvest
secured, the steady influx of bullion, and the large
amount of available capital, there is an impression
that the materials exist for a speculative movement
of considerable magnitude in the Stock Exchange
in the course of the autumn.

The discount market is characterised by rather
more than the degree of stringency usually expe-
rienced at this season. There is a general indis-
position to lend below the Bank minimum, and the
transactions even iu first-class bills at 31t per cent.
are exceptionaL It is considered that during the
closing weeks of the quarter little money will be
obtainable below the Bank rate, and this price
accordingly rules the market. Harvest require-
ments, operating through the country bankers,
continue to exercise an effect. Some disturbance
will be occasioned by the repayment of between
3,000,0001. and 4,000,0001. of India Four per
Cent, Debentures, which arrive at maturity
on the Bth proximo. The release of this
money will increase the comparative plethora
of the October dividend period, but at
present the prospect of the payment contributes
rather to tighten the money market than otherwise,
as the large funds belonging to the Council of India
can only be employed fur short periods. It is sig-
nificant, however, of the opinion entertained with
regard to the prospects of the money market that,
though very full terms are demanded fcr short
loans, relatively leas difficulty is experienced in
placing long dated paper.

About 22,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
yesterday, while 60,000 sovereigns were withdrawn
for Alexandria.

The Pen, from Alexandria, has brought 19,1401.
in specie.
The bar silver by the West India packet was sold
yesterday for India at 15e. lid. per ounce, showing
• rise of ird. compared with the price obtained for
the previous remittance. There is still a strong
demand for silver for Bombay, and the steamer of
the 27th instant is expected to take • large
amount.

The steamer Poonah will take, to-morrow,
157,2201. in specie for the East ; of which 119,1951.
is gold, and the rest silver. Of the gold, 62,0001.
is for Alexandria, and 45.0001. for Mauritius, and
the greater portion (21,4601.) of the silver is for
Shanghae.
The tendency of the foreign exchanges yesterday
afternoon was less favourable to this country, bills
on several of the continental cities being in de-
mand, and the rates in some instances being quoted
rather lower. Subjoined is our usual list :

Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.19 to ditto, 3 days,

With reference to the financial operations of the
Turkish government, we find the following in the
Levant Herald of the 9th inst. :

It is said that the "difficulty between the Meiji& and
Messrs. Oppeoheim, Stern, ►nd the others who held de-
posits of miles against loans to the Treasury, but sold
than at rates which were deemed unsatisfactory by the
Minister of Finance, has at length been arranged on the
beats of the government's receiving the comparative trifle
of 32,0001., as refunded interest for the unexpired term of
the loans. The settlement is of course a bed one for the
Treasury ; but in view of the foe its part) careless
framing of the contracts, no better was perhaps legally
possible. The costly bit of experience will, however,
not be lost on the Minister of Finance, who will probably for
the future And it both cheaper and safer so give hi■ custom
exclusively to the Imperial Brink. Aptopoe of this last, we
are glad tolearn that its temporary misondentanding with
his highness as the subject of the serails' payments is ea
the ere of being, if it hare sot already beau, finally and
satisfactorily arranged. It is reported—we know not with
what truth—that what may be termed a sob-couveatioa has
brew draw o up sod 'stifled between the bank and the Trea-
sury, w►ich is likely to prevent • recurrence of the late
minappreheseive *a to their reciprocal rights and obligations.
