Dustin. Joan & I
The conservative papers announce this morning
the remit of an interview, on the subject of the re-
presentation of Dublin, with Mr. J. George, Q.C., a
gentleman whom, as I mentioned some weeks since,
thaw has been an effort made to put forward as a
candidate for this city. It is known that there has
been a split in the conservative vamp on the matter,
and the circumstance is thus explained by Mr.
George in his written reply to the deputation. Ile
saysA :
desire es the part of area of the mercantile interests
el Dublin, in the popriety of which, if attainable, I myself,
ssnaseted by birth sad swoeiations with those interests,
would entirely concur, that the representative of this city
in parliament should be selected from that body, prevents
at this moment (in the absence of such a mathdate) that
union which it, in my judgment, asential, and the want of
which compels ma, reluctantly, to come to the conclusion
that, if easier the circumstances now existing, I assented to
offer myself to the constituency at the next election, I
should peril the common object of the requWtionists and of
myself, and compels me still more reluctantly, though in
the strongest terms of respect, to decline the flattering pro-
position that has bees made to me.
And he adds :

On whomsoever the choice of the conservative
eonsti-
taency may fall, 1 trnst that on those great principles of
pion-Wanting, protection, and anti centralisation he may
feel es strongly as is due to those who have placed their
con&dencein me that I should now state I do.

A " whip " for a Second Clam Wokingham having suc-
ceeded, the card exhibited the average number of races,
lacking, however, the one event, that for the last four or
fivo years leas been its chief attraction, and which it is to he
hoped will be restored next year, The miserably small
amount of traffic on this occasion will, we doubt not, con-
vince the directors of the South Western line of the policy
of agreeing to the proposal from the Great Western Com-
pany, referred to ou Monday. Tole weather yesterday was
fine, but the company limited to the parties staying en the

XammeaMatcm.Exassinar ions.—The Board of Mathe-
astimi Illerliss hare laid before the Vice-Chancellor the

tallowtsi report :
"Thole* report of the board contained in its first section
two ragem=endations--first, ' That the papers of the first
three dm be still further shortened; and, secondly, that a
grass should be offered to the Senate, to the effect ' that the
fint part of the examination commence two days earlier
than at present.' In this report the board have to speak
concerning the result of these recommendations.'
" Tho design at the former was to give more time for at-
tempting solutions of examples and applications of book-
work, the small amount of which appeared to the moderators
and examiners to be a prominent defect. The experience of
the last examination does not in this respect differ from that
of preceding ones. In a report presented to the board by
the moderators of the present year it is stated that' The
moderators and examiners have borne in mind the ream-

mendation of the board with respect to the further shorten-
ing of the papers of the first three days ; but they have en-
deavoured to effect the object rather by proposing questions
which admitted of being answered in a moderate compass,
than by materially diminishing the number of the questions
in the several papers. The moderators doubt, however,
whether any further curtailment of the papers would tend
to remove the defect which still exists of the small number
of solutions of examples and applications of book-work.'
Under these circumstances the board must content them-
selves with thus drawing attention to a defect, without sug-
gessing any further means of remedy: if, according to the
opinion above quoted, the examination papers be now as
much reduced as is desirable, it is obvious that the only re-
remedy lies in the previous practice and exercise of
those who are to be examined. It would, however, be pro.
mature to conclude from one examination that the shorten-
ing of the papers will not eventually prove beneficial ; on
the contrary, the board are hopeful concerning the result,
if the students themselves, bearing in mind the object which
the board have had in view, will give increased attention
to the practical application of their reading. It is U11111Cteb•
awry to say anything in proof of the great importance of
this portion of a mathematical examination, testing as it
does very effectually, the degree in which a student has
really made himself master of the subjects whirls he pro-
fesses to have read ; and it is almost equally unnecessary to
state, that a corresponding weight is attributed to it by the.
moderators and examiners in estimating the relative merits
of candidates tor honours. .

With regard to the second recommendation, the board
have ascertained from the moderators and examiners, that
in their opinion the inconvenience which had been felt from
the shortness of the time allowed for examining the papers
of the first three days has been entirely removed by the
grace of the Senate, which was liaised in accordance with
the suggestion of the board, and that the time at present
allowed is 'efficient.
" The board do not consider it expedient at present to
snake any suggestions concerning the subjects introduced
into the Senate-house examination iu additieu to those
which were contained in their report of List year.
" The board find, upon inquiry, that the reports of formes
years have not been circulated in a catiMuetory. manner
among the undergraduate members of the University ; they
therefore recuinwead that a number of copies of the pre
sent and of all future reports be deposited at Mr. Leighton's,
and that a copy be given to any member of the University
on application. As a considerable number of copies of the
report of last year still remain at the University press, they
further recommend that these be transferred to Mr. Leigh-
ton, to be distributed in the same manner.
