THE REPRESENTATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
Urn:ooX —ln a letter, which appears in our adver-
tising columns of this day, Mr. Bagehot re-
linquishes his candidature for the University of London.
The spectator says : "We regret Mr. Begehot's retire-
ment, both on account of the character of the candi-
date whom the university has lost, and on account of
the character of the member whom the univer-
sity has in all probability secured. Mr. Bagehot,
though of course far less widely known to
the world than Mr. Lowe, and never, perhaps,
likely to produce the same impression of absolute bril-
liance which Mr. Lowe produces on parliament, is to our
minds far fitter than Mr. Lowe to represent the high and
equably distributed culture of • modern university,—in
other words, has • far completer and a far more judicial
mind. Mr. Lowe's speeches on university education have
shown a thoroughly incoherent, almost an inconsiderate
and random intellect. In the higher statesmanship,
too, he has been singularly unsagamous. But even more
than for the blot on the intellectual, we feel for the blot
on the liberal character of the university which is likely
to elect Mr. Lowe as its first member. The statesman
who could throw so many cynical sarcasms at the working
claws as he threw from 180 to 1867, who could suggest,
for instance, that • ' Beast Parliament,' like that in
Reinke Ftichs, could be defended on precisely
the same principles as the various Reform Bills,
and that the working classes would be sure
to know their own strength better than
' Curran's fleas, who, if they had been unanimous,
would have pushed him out of the bed, does not seem to
us a fortunate choice for the most liberal of our English
universities. Mr. Bagehot is • generous rival, and says
nothing of Mr. Lowe but what is kind as well as true.
Perhaps he might have been more successful if he had
entered more keenly into the feelings of pain and indigna-
tion excited by Mr. Lowe's cynical political epigrams and
misanthropic political creed.
DEATH OF 41... e Arr.icuz OF LADY RESTED
STANHOPE. —One of the few surviving attache,* of Lady
Hester Stanhope has died at Constant' e—II. Michael
Nevem, proprietor and impresario of the Italian Theatre of
the same name in Pers. Naoum was of Aleppine descent,
and the son of a tobacco dealer. When a boy of le or 16,
he attracted the notice of lady Hester and was by
her taken to Syria. He remained with her for some years,
being at length dismissed for too great assiduity in fea-
thering his nest. Of late years he claimed to rank as
dragoman to lad) Hester, but according to his statement
to the writer of this, his duties were mucellaneous. He
had shaved Lady Hester's head more than once. Oa one
occasion my lady took it into her head she would have
i sieves made n the Engliah style for stable use, and Naoum
and his colleagues were ordered to get up sieves on pout of
dismissal. Every day after dinner did he set to work with
his bundle of split reeds, but they were too brittle. At
last, one day, he found by accident that on being wetted
the weaving could be effected, and he accomplished his
task, receiving
tained his faith in her to the last day of his life.—dthe-

According to the Panama Star, a French ship
arrived at Santiago from South America, with 40 ewes
avid rams, which were purchased at Rambouillet in France.
The rams coat 1,500 franca each, and the ewes 800 franca
each. The freight amounted to 8,500 front's, besides
which the captain receives a premium of 25 frame for
each sheep, and the shepherd who has charge of the
animals has 10 franca a day during the voyage from
France and back, and a premium on each sheep.

The failure of a memberof the Stock Exchange, a
"jobber" or dealer,was announced yesterday,viith
liabilities to the extent of about 9,0001. His
difficulties have been caused by some extensive
operations for a rise in Spanish Securities, which
have latterly declined. Another member of the
same establishment, connected with the mining
department, stopped payment on Thursday.
There were no bullion operations at the bank
yesterday. Further amounts areiblely to be with-
drawn from that establishment for exportation,
owing to the flatness of the Paris Exchange.

yesterday afternoon was a trifling reduction in the

wheat was quite unsaleable at the reduction. A

tendency of the grain markets, but they are easier
in price, and holders more inclined to realize. The
