FSOMOTION OF SOCIAL SCIENCE.

(nom oar OWN 00NUSTONDENT.)
YORK, TIIVOIDAT, lira S°

The town at an early hour gave signs of the
scientific festival which is to be formally opened to-
day. Lord Brougham arrived last night, and re-
main.% the guest of the Lord fol •yor. During the
day, the reception room at the U Lildhall preseute.l a
busy scene, every one, on arrival, naturally gravitat
ing towards that centre of information. It is be-
lieved that the number of visitors will be greater
to-morrow (Friday), as the close of the meeting uf
the British Association will set free many of :Le
eupporters of this society. It may be mentioned
that several ladies will be participants in the pro-
ceedings of the meeting. Mum Lot Craig is in pre-
sence, and appears to take an active part in the
arrangements. Papers will be read by Miss
Carpenter—one on the " Educational Help
required for the Lowest Class of the
Population, " and on " Nou-luipri-sonnient
of children," and Miss Emily Davis will discourse
on " Secondary lustruction as relating to Women."
The discussion on general averages has brought a
Dumber of foreigners interested in that queatioo, to
the meeting, comprising Germain', Danes, French-
meu, Belgians, .kc. Althou4ll there were, during
yesterday, some smart showers, the weather has
been hitherto favourable for York ; where there is
a tradition that its rain is always abundant, and
according to a native of the place, speaking
in his vernacular, invariably on special
occasions ; his observation—" It be always
so ' • when aught is out at York, it do rain, surely.-
During the meeting, all the places of interest in the
city are open to members of the Association. The
museum and grounds of the Yorkshire Philoso-
phical Society, the cathedral, and the crypt be-
neath it ; York Castle and Clifford's Tower, etc.,
are all freely accessible. A military band performs
daily every afternoon in the Museum grounds.
At three “.clock to-day the first formal appear-
ance of the Association took place, by a large at-
tendance at the service in the Minster, at eight
o'clock. The opening address was delivered by the
president.

FREDERICIA.

A letter from Fredericia, in the National Ga:.ette
of Berlin,lsays :

It is rather remarkable that the troops who mrrovnded
the town knew nothing of the evacuation at the time it
took place. The Austrians remained for at least forty-eight
hours before the place after almost all the troops hal left.
General Gablens only heard of the evacuation by means of
spies ; it was by them that the general heard, on the 26th
that only 300 men remained in Predmicia. When the
enemy entered only that number remained, who were pro-
tecting the workmen employed in removing the stores, and
they all retired as soon as the troops advanced.

Mr. HOPWOOD naked the First Lord of the Treasury,
or, in his absentee, the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, whether the government would state what
course they intended to take with regard to the Danish
question before the house adjourned for Whitsuntide.
Sir G. GREY—The question put to me by the boo.
gentleman is similar to that which was put to me the other
day by the hon. member for North Warwickshire (Kr.
Newdegate). I then dated th►t the aostfarence was sitting,
that it was hoped that its Int result would be the smablish-
ment of an arraistim, and that the government would con-
tinue, in concert with other powers, to take measures which
would be conducive to that end. I bare now the satisfac-
tion to inform the house, that to-day the conference bas
agreed upon an armistice for a month. (Load cheers.)

which referred to the evidence, and ao appendix
neither of which was in the bands of members. He thought
it not in conformity with the usual canna of proceeding to
propose the rescinding of a resolution at the fag end of a
session, when probably not half the members who voted in
the minority would be present. lie was not prepared to
say that he shbuld oppose the motion of the noble lord, but
be thought the matter ought to be postponed till next
session, when there would be a prospect of a full boo" and
for that reason he protested against it being smuggled
through the house now. With regard to the unfairness of
having a vote of censure banging over the department for so
long a period, it should be recollected that fora whole month
the department sat comfortably under the censure implied
by the vote.

Indian subjects. As the bill stood it would give power to
appoint any apothecary's apprentice or other adventurer
that might choose to go out to India. Is fact, if the clause
were not adopted, there would be no security for the proper

I have, therefore, requested Vice• Admiral Sir A. Kuper to
