POLICE COURTS.—(Tans DAY.)

soIiTHWARK.

Mum s. B..rioy and Prekisiathe brewers, of Park-street,
Southwark, were summoned before Mr. Burcham, under
the provisions of the Smoke Nuisance Act, for not haring
one of their furnace so constructed as to consume its
smoke.

Mr. Sandison, the government inspecting engineer,
informed Ins worship that the summons first came before
the mut on the 14th of last month, and was adjourned for
a month to enable the defendants to have the apparatus
put in proper repair. Be had seen the furnaces, and one
was of s waxily constructed to consume the smoke by using
trammels coal, and the other had been altered so that, by
the use of Welsh coal, there would be no smoke.
The chief engineer to the defendants sad it was their
intention of burn nothing but Welsh coal iu that fur-
nace.

Mr. Burcham said that, under those circumstances, he
shutdd only inflict a penalty of 20e. and wets.
Thomas Williams, • baker, in Great Charlotte-street,
Black friars-road, was next charged with • similar offence
and was fined 20e. and coats.

Ahredith, proprietor of saw mills, Bankaido, was
similarly charged. Mr. Bandr-on said the defendant was
find stunmoned in July, when alterations were made, but
therwere not properly done. The furnace was now in good
working order.
Mr. Buichani inivead a penalty of 20s. and etnt4 in this
ease also.

An addition has just boon made (oliNerves the
Cambridge latlependeal) to the requirements of candidatea
for the Little-go, and a very proper one. Formerly it has
been a matter of aurpriae that the university should ever
have permitted man to pass as graduates who displayed a
total want of knowledge of the grammatical construction
of the English language or orthography. Now, both are
an essential, and this new regulation will direct attention
to the slovenly manner in which the papers are written.
so that it will be impossible for the future to receive the
degree of B.A. without Bret being proficient in those
rudiments, deficiency in which is hardly excusable in a
national schoolboy. much less in the case of a member of
the university.

The council of the Royal Agricultural Society
of England (says the Gardeners' Chronicle) last Wed-
'lmlay elected their new secretary and editor. The
committee appointed to make a recommendation met
on Monday. and con..idered the teetimouials of forty-
• candidates. They met again on Tuewlay, had per-
ponel interviews with the seven gentlemen whom they hail
selected from the 48, and agreed upon the man of their

choice. He was accordingly recommended to the council
on the following day, and forthwith appointed to the
offices The gentleman thus hurried into the double
chair of editor and secretary of the society is Mr.
Jenkins, Assistant-Secretary, Curator, and Librarian of
the Geological Society of London, Editor of the Quarterly
Journal of that society. and sub-editor of the Quarterly
Se:nrce. •• Mr. Jenkins satisfied the committee
that he possesses intellectual qualifications of a high order,
and Lin thorough knowli.xlien of geology, chemistry.
botany. and zoology will give him considerable assistance
in acquiring a thorough knowledge of agriculture, which
it will be his first object to attain." These are the con-
cluding words of the report, to which Mr. H. S. Thomp-
son. as chairman of the committee. appends his name.

THE WEATIlEtt.—The first indications of ap-
pinching winter have presented themselves dnring the

Foa l. yesterday afternoon. there was a heavy fall of snow,
