SOCIAL SCIENCE MEETING. AT GLASGOW.—The next
meeting of the National Association for the Promotion.
of Social Science will be heldt in Glasgow.
THE CHOLERA AT WicK.—We are sorry to say that
the cholera has re-appeared during the week. There
are at present several cases of illness, and one death, at
Port Dunbar has occurred.—John 0' Groat Journal.

Anthony Burns, of fugitive slave notoriety, having
been called to the pastorate of a coloured Baptist church,
in Indianapolis, the democrats threaten if he comes. to,
enforce the infamous " black law" upon him.
NOVEL. USE OF FLIFS.—The Rev. Mr. Alderson,
chaplain to a convict settlkment, speaking of the-prison-
chapel, describes it as " not satisfactory, and the,flies
swarm. there in numbers.distressing to the coniviet con.-
gregation, although on the other hand, it prevents them
from failing asleep."
NOAtle S ARK AND TUE. GREAT EASTERN:—The

following is a comparison between the size of the Great
Eastern and Noah's Ark :—Noah's Ark (according to
Newton) : Length, 612.26 feet ; breadth, 85,94 ditto;
height, 51.56 ditto; tonnage, 18,231.58 tons.—Noah's
Ark (according to Wilkins) : Length, 517 feet';. breadth,
91.16 ditto ; height, 54.70 ditto; tonnages. 21',.760-50
tons.—The Great Eastern : Length,_ 680 feet breadth, :
-85 ditto; height, 601 ditto; tonnage, 23;092'215 tons.
The difference in the dimensions which exist between
the calculations of Newton and Wilkins: arises from
their personal interpretation of the measure mentioned
in the Old Testament, which, according to one was
• 20.625 English inches, and to the other; 21-88. •
CHANTING OR N 6 CHANTING.—On. Sunday- last a
little excitement was occasioned in the independent
Chapel at Bridlington, in consequence of rather an
unusual announcement from the pulpit. It appears
that some few weeks ago the singers connected with
that place introduced into the service a short hymn
and chant. All went on well for some time, until
it occurred to the minds of some that chanting
was not quite the thing in- a dissenting place of wor-
ship—that it sprang from popery—and, moreover,
that it bad not emanated from the proper quarter, &c.
In consequence, it .was announced by the Rev. J.
Dickinson, that after the service in the evening, papers
would be laid in the vestry for signature, whereon the
members, seat-holders, and: congregation,-above. fotir-
teen years of age, might testify their approval or dis-
approval of chanting ; at the same time he stated that,
so far as he was concerned, he did not object to it ;
,but
rather to the manner in which it had been introduced.
• The matter was soon disposed of, There appeared for
chanting, 51 ; against it, 23—majority, 28.—Yor7•shire
Gazette.

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON ON WAR.—It is, indeed,
evident that the" Emperor's opinions and sense of wVat
can be done in the world have been enlarged by circum-
stances, opportunities, and experiences ; and his expe-
riences. in Italy have not a little modified his judgment.
He learned what the Italians were. ' He saw the hue
position of Austria, and learned what she could accom-
plish, or what she must fail to accomplish. He ,had
been bred a soldier; ha proved in that school that he
was a pupil worthy his genealogy ; but his experience,
for the first time of war on a great scale, practically
convinced him, that more is to be done for the world,
and better done by conviction, persuasion, and co-ope-
ration in moral endeavour, than by physical force, even
when it can command the most terrible engines of
destiny. He acquired, and he did not scruple to avow
it, recently in conversation with a royal friend, that his
actual experience of war had filled him with horror and
detestation, and that nothing should induce him to renew
it if it could possibly be avoided.—Spectater.
HUGHES' THE F RAen ULENT BANSRUPT.—At e
Guildhall, London, on Thursday, Mr, David Hughes,
solicitor, was brought up on remand to answer the
charge of feloniously absconding from his creditors, not
surrendering to his bankruptcy, and other serious charges
of fraud. Mr. Satchell, solicitor, produced an assignment
of a lease of those premises from the bankrupt to Wil-
liam Anderson. The consideration was £914. Wm.
Haynes, examined : Was managing clerk for ten years to
Mr. Hughes, and continued in his service until he went
to Australia on the 20th of July, 1858. (The letter of
the 15th Jan. was handed to the witness, which referred
to a loan of £5,000 for a client.) The witness said he
was not aware that there was any business in the office
to which that letter could refer ; he did not know of any
client offering a profitable business for sale for that
amount, and there was no entry in the day-book of 1858
in any way relating to such a transaction. If an advance
of £5,000 was to be made to a client, should have known
of it. The book was the out-door book of the day.
Mr. Hughes made entries in that book, but the business
referred to in the letter would not be entered unless
any business resulted from it,—Mr. Poland said that
would complete that ease.—Mr. Morgan submitted no
case of fraud had been made out.—Mr. -Martin, the
chief clerk, said it would be better to' go into the other
cases before any decision was given.—Mr. Poland said
the next case ho proposed to go into was a charge of
'stealing £l,OOO, which the prisoner- had received as
baillee for Mr. Fagg, under the new act. It appeared
that the bankrupt had, on the 29th September, 1852,
demised to one 'William Lewis, his brother-in-law, the
houses, Nos. 5,6, 7,8, 9, and
ay

Mr. Hughes received the consideration money, and held
it as baillee for witness, but had appropriated it to his
ownuse. Alderman Lawrence said the case might be
remanded till next Wednesday, and the prisoner con,
gaged to Mr. George. Fag g a

THE CONSERVATIVE MMONSTRATJOS
A
- • -- T LIVERPOOL. -

(From the Observer of yesterday.) „;„,i . .
Ostensibly there is nothing. stirring On'the ph"' f
horizon. All the great leaders of parties are out 0,
town, and uo Cabinet Councils are held. An indiffereo
observer, in fact, would scarcely believe that we are,ono
the eve of a great political conflict, and yet those The
are behind the scenes know that each is the fact.
Conservatives have been as sedulous about the regis;l.os
Lions this year as they were active during the deetfc
of last spring. They know that before another tae
lee
elapsed a general election will take l'ltitte,e
and they are therefore making every preparation for if
coming conflict. As yet they .have -been stud r•
quiet. There have been the usual agricultural gtti
wigs, but neither Mr. Disraeli nor Sir John Paki'oir
have touched on politics, Mr. Disraeli was indeed
el
,usually careful. We know .from experience the gro
advantage he has always taken of the gathering Of rlt)
Buckinghamshire farmers to make known to the 1,4
his political views ; on this occasion, however, he 0:e
not let a word escape him which Would enable anYrtc,
