Six minor scholars will be elected to Trinity College by
an examination, to be held in the College on Tuesday, April
25, 1865, and the two following days. The examination will
be in classes and in mathematics. The classical papers will
contain passages for translation from the best Greek and
Latin authors, with pieces for composition. The mathe-
matical papers will include ar .thmetic, Euclid, algebra,
trigonometry, and conic sections treated both geometrically
and analytically. The candidates must be under 20 years of
age, and of good moral character, of which points col tifi-
cates from their schoolmaster or tutor must be sent to the
Master of Trinity College at least ten days before the first
day of examination. The statutes of the College require
these certificates to be sent in all cases, even if the name of
the candidate lie already entered on the boards. The animal
value of the minor scholarships will be £5O, and they will
be tenable for three years from the day of election or until
the scholar be elected to a foundation scholarship, but the
scholar will receive no emolument from his scholarship un-
til he has commenced residence in the University.

"THE WORLD OF MAGIC."—The Commercial
Travellers' schools, Pinner, boys and girls, as well as 700
other children belonging to the various metropolitan schools,
were invited free by Professor Anderson to witness his
eleventh gmainee, on Saturday afternoon, at the St. James's
Hall. The house was crowded in every part.

The Tribunal of Correctional Police, on Friday
last, condemned a M. de X, to a fine of 50f and costs
for sending bank notes in a letter by the post without going
through the formalities required by the law. The gentle-
man, in his defence, said that ho had put on the letter the
five seals, and had marked the amcunt of the notes on the
outside, telling his cook to take it to the post and have it
registered. The woman doubtless mistook the word
chargement for afranchisement, and putting two postage
stamps on the letter threw it into the box. The President
recommended the gentleman on a future occasion not to
trust to a servant what ho could better do himself.

The Court of Lyons has just given its decision on
an appeal made by the proprietors of the Monche
steamboat against their recent condemnation for homicide
through negligence. It will be remembered that the boat
swayed on passing under a bridge, the passengers rushed on
one side, the balustrade broke, and a good many fell into the
water and were drowned. The sentence of imprisonment
against M. Chaize was reduced to two months, and the two
partners were ordered to pay the costs between them. M.
Plasson had been sentenced by the Court below to the pay-
ment of a fine only, but on an appeal by the Procureur•
General, the Court decided that the punishment was not in
proportion with the offence, and ordered M. Plasson to Le
imprisoned for a month and a half also.
