Tas RADNORSEIIRB BOROUGHS. Mr. Baskerville
Mynors, who was solicited to offer himself for the repre-
sentation of these boroughs, has declined coming forward
on the present occasion. Invitations have since been
addressed to Mr. Percy Severne, of Penybont, and Mr.
De Winton, of Maeslough Castle, both Conservatives.
A meeting of the borough of Rhayader has been held
for the purpose of inviting Sir G. C. Lewis to offer him-
self for the future representation of the Radnorshire
boroughs.
THE GREEN MAN, BARNET.—This celebrated inn and
posting house, which has existed for nearly a century,
is now entirely closed, and the furniture, horses, and
farming stock of the late proprietor (Mr. Jas. Buckell),
were sold by auction, by Messrs. Page and Cameron, on
the 17th or 18th inst. The Grand Stand used at the
annual races held here formed a prominent feature in
the sale. The house must be well known to all persons
who formerly travelled northwards from London, as it
stands at the angle formed by the junction of the new
road to St. Alban's and the great north or Hatfield road.
Some idea of the business formerly done at the Green
Man will be conceived when we state that on three suc-
cessive days in 1808 nearly 160/. was taken for posting
and baits in the yard, and on a given day in 1828 56
pairs of horses left the stables. Upwards of 100 coaches
at that time ran through Barnet, and it is computed
that quite a third of them changed horses at this house.

SPECIAL PRIZEE.—The council of the Society of Arts
bas just issued an addition to the general premium li,t
published during the recess, from which it appears that
Mr. Oliveira, M.P., has placed at its disposal two gold
medals, of the value of 251. each, or money to the same
amount, for special premiums. These the council has
determined to award-1. For the best and finest flax
thread spun by machinery, suitable for lace making.
2. For the best essay on the means of preventing the
nuisance of smoke. Mr. S. M. Kubert, through the
society, has offered 5/. for a composition for the feeding
rollers used in printing paper-hangings by cylinder ma-
chinery, to which the council has added the society's
medal. But equal in importance to either of these is
the offer of the society's medal for a school microscope
to be sold to the public at a price not exceeding 10s. 6d.,
and also for a teacher's or student's microscope at a price
not exceeding 3/. 3s. At the Society's Educational Exhi-
bition last summer this step was strongly advocated.
as it was felt that the cultivation of habits of observation
was a matter of essential importance in education, and
one which had hitherto received too little attention.
Nothing, it was thought, would tend to produce this
result in a more satisfactory and agreeable manner than
a cheap, • but good microscope. By. way of giving a
stimulus to the sale, the council undertakes to purchase
100 of the smaller, and 50 of the larger instrument, a
plan which was so successful in the instances of the
society's shilling box of water colours and half-crown
case of drawing instruments.
THE WEATHER AT LENDS.—An agreeable change has
taken place in the weather in this neighbourhood during
the past week, and instead of a mild changeable atmo-
sphere we have had sharp dry fi osts, accompanied with
slight falls of snow. The thermometer in the town has
been as low as 19, and has ranged from that to 38,
though there is no doubt that in the outskirts of the
town it has been muchilower. The ponds and reservoirs
in the neighbourhood are frozen over, and the lovers of
skating, curling, and other amusements of that class
have had ample opportunities to indulge in them. On
Friday a curling match, we understand, was played on
the ice, at the Royal Gardens, between several gentlemen
of Leeds and Bradford. The change in the weather has
been general throughout the country, and in some in-
stances the mails have been delayed, but to no serious
extent.
