CAMBRIDOE MIDDLE CLAM EXAMINATIONS.

There will be two examinations, commencing on Tuesday,
December 14, 1.958 ; one for student, who are under sixteen
yeus of age, and the other for students who are under
N years of age. Students will be examined in such places as
the syndics appointed by the university may determine.
After each examination the names of the students who pus
with credit will be placed alphabetically in three honour
climes, and the names of those who pus to the satisfaction
of the examiners, yet not so as to deserve honors, will be
placed alphabetically in a fourth class. After the name of
every student will be added his place of residence,
and the school (if any) from which he comes to
attend the examination. In determining the Owes
account will be taken of every part of the exami-
nation ; but no credit will be given for knowledge in any
subject, unless the student shows enough to satisfy the
examiners in that subject. Regard will be paid to the hand-
writing and spelling throughout the examinations. The
students who pose with credit, or satisfy the examiners,
will also be entitled to receive certificates to that effect.
Every certificate will specify the subjects in which the
student has passed with credit, or satisfied the examiners,
and the class in which his name is placed. Everyone ad-
mitted to examination will be required to pay • fee of
twenty shillings.

ROUTE TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE ON GOOD
FIIDAY.—The public will be saved much inconvenience in
reaching the Crystal Palace next Friday by attending at
London-bridge terminus not later than 10.45, or by starting
from the new terminus at Battersea. The old Greenwich
Act forbids the running of trains over the viaduct on Sun-
days, Quietens-day, or Good Friday between eleven and
one o'clock, so that except passengers to the Crystal Palace
next Friday start from Batteries, where no such impediment
exists, or from London-bridge at 10.45, a large crowd: will
infallibly accumulate at the latter station, *hence no loco-
motive can start legally before one o'clock. The Crystal
Palace will open at nine, anti trains from Battersea will run
from 10.30 a.m.

LECTURES AT TUE CRTSTAL PALACE.—Everyone
who has visited the Crystal Pabice by railway from
London-bridge has looked with more or less curiosity,
as the train skirted the grenade, at the uncouth
antediluvian monster' which sprawl and straggle
about the geological island, and, doubtless, some
visitors have •laded that those representation" of extinct
forms of life might receive vied roes illustration from some
competent person. This service Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins,
by whom the geological restorations were modelled, is now
performing in the Concert-room of the Crystal Palace, with
the aid of diagrams. Yesterday he discoursed of the
animals that lived during the period of the coal formatioe,
and to-morrow be will consider the first evidence of large
animals walking on the earth, and the evidence of their frog-
like form and great size; the great models will also be ex-
plained, and the great fish-lizard described, with other
large lizard-like animals, of which fossil remains are found
is Yorkshire and Doreetahhe, that gays the else and fors of
the restored model. ta the grounds of the Crystal Palm.
The rsinalaing intim will follow in April.
