THE MAYNOOTH GRANT.—The list of the division
upon Mr. Whslley's motion for a repeal of the grant to the
College of Maynooth dimities. some curious_ particulars. The
pant was supported by the "trusted leaden," se as
by many of the rack and file of the cormervative party.
Mews. Disraeli and Walpole, Sirs John Pakingtoo and
Roundel! Palmer, Lords Robert Osoil and John Manners,
went out into the same lobby with Messrs. Gladstone sod
all the ministers, except Lord Palmeretoo. The Premier
and Mr. Whiteside entered no appearanos. We have the
same to say of three others of the " Dublin six." The
setting and the rising sun of our Irish metropolitan system—
Sir Edward Grogan and Mr. lon Hamilton—went both
behind clouds upon this occasion. Colonel Taylor was also
absent ; so that the only Dublin renreesutatives who were
premot were Mews. Lefroy and Vance ; they both sup-

THE ANTIQUITY or MAN.—Professor Anstel'e
eighth lecture on geology yesterday, at the Royal Institu-
tion, was.devoted to the consideration of the remains of
animals sad of man in geological deposits. The negative
evidence against the existence of man at the same
period es the extinct animals whose bones are found
in the upper geological deposits, he thought was not
sufficient to counterbalance the proofs of his existence ,•
and Professor Amsted considered it iodeed an established
fact that man must have been living on the earth with the
animals with whose bows the flint hatchets are associated,
though he offered no explanation of the absence of the
fossil human remains from those deposits. He attributed
a prehistoric age to the men who accumulated the " mid-
dings" found in Smodinavia, where immense masses of the
refuse of human food, consisting of shells and bone., have
been discovered. Some of those shells indicate • very early
period, for Menemre among them the shells of cockles and of
other fish not Dow living in the Baltic, and which require
for their existence water more salt than the waters of that
xd I sea sow are.
